- Keep. There's plenty of media coverage of this company. Examples: Charlottetown Bulk Barn store part of new waste-free initiative, Bulk Barn takes promising step toward reusable containers, Bulk Barn has embraced the Zero Waste movement, Bulk Barn Foods Ltd. Raises Record Amount for Alzheimer Society Fundraising, Bulk Barn Foods Ltd. Takes the Lead in the Alzheimer Society's 18th Annual Coffee Break(R) Fundraiser, Bulk Barn plans to open store on Yates Street, Bulk Barn reopens after renovations, Xylitol Canada Announces Retail Distribution Through Bulk Barn Stores Across Canada. That's just after 10 seconds of a web search. There's likely plenty more that's not accessible online. The stub article as is needs work, but the subject is notable. Mindmatrix 15:00, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Per above. Article needs work, but I'm pretty sure the subject meets the notability requirements. Ahiijny (talk) 20:14, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I believe that the subject is notable, a quick google search yields many results and the chain has over 250 locations. This seems like just cause to be considered notable. I am working on the page more and more as this is just the start. I hope you consider my point of view. Dellwood546 (talk) 23:00, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: Note that an article about this company was previously deleted (per CSD G11). There were several contributors to that article that appeared to have a close connection to the company (possibly even COI ). Some may have been paid editors, as they had also edited other company articles to add material that is clearly not encyclopedic (either in content or tone). Others edited only (the previous version of) this article. The original version was a decent stub, but in early 2011 the addition of marketing fluff began. Irrespective of this, see my 'keep' comment above. Mindmatrix 19:15, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Strong delete per Mindmatrix' comment above. Also, the sources indicated above are either non-qualifying trite, trivial, and passing mention coverage, are primary sources, or they are not reliable sources. For example, sources about store remodels, store openings/closures, company charitable donations, and product introductions (i.e., re-usable containers) do not meet WP:SIGCOV. Crucially, though, the second-stage test, that of WP:CORPDEPTH is not met. So, strong delete on failing that policy. --Doug Mehus (talk) 23:39, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Note that the links I provided above are by no means exhaustive; as I stated above, those were what I found "after 10 seconds of a web search". Also, note that in each of the articles I linked, Bulk Barn was the primary subject of the article (ie - there were no "passing mention coverage"). The only primary source was the MarketWatch press release; the same information was reported in news articles elsewhere (and coverage of the previous year's donation is one of the links above). Your !vote should be based on your own research into the subject, not on the subset of results I posted from my search. I just conducted another quick search and found mentions of the company in the Franchise Law Journal (volume 23), in the book "Defending Class Actions in Canada" (which references the case "909787 Ontario Ltd v Bulk Barn Foods Ltd"), in the book Smart Shopping Montreal (this is a trivial mention, I know), and more. Unfortunately, much of Canadian business reporting is either paywalled or offline, so building decent articles about Canadian companies (other than the largest ones, of course) often requires a lot of effort to find reliable sources. I think this company likely passes that threshold, but I don't have access to ProQuest or other such sources to search newspaper archives, let alone archives of other sources. Mindmatrix 04:24, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Mindmatrix, Right, I get they're the subject, and I did did my own research. What a lot of editors fail to consider is the type of significant coverage. Having reliable sources mostly focused on class-action lawsuit outcomes or on a particular controversy but which provide little on the company's history or otherwise contribute to writing a balanced article. Maybe type of WP:SIGCOV isn't explicitly written in the policy, I'm know sure, but to me, it ought to be. If anything, our notability standards are too lax.

- Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. The company has been the subject of multiple independent peer reviewed journal articles mostly pertaining to various legal actions against the company for human rights violations. Additionally, the company's products have been used in many food and agricultural science publications which, while not directly about the company, do indicate some notability as well. See:
- "Recent Developments in Canadian Franchise Class Actions"; Thomas, Evan; Franchise Law Journal, Winter 2016, Vol.35(3), pp.399-418
- "Defendant class actions and the right to opt out: lessons for Canada from the United States"; Morabito, Vince; Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law, Summer, 2004, Vol.14(2), p.197(52)
- "An Updated Road Map to Entering the Canadian Market"; Weinberg, Larry ; Shaw, Geoffrey; Franchise Law Journal, Spring 2008, Vol.27(4), pp.253-263
- "Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario decision: Sambrano v. Bulk Barn Foods Limited, 2019 HRTO 803 (CanLII)"; Financial Law Reporter, July 10, 2019
Additionally, the company and its products have independent reviews in the following:
- "WASTE NOT, WANT NOT"; Kucharsky, Danny; Canadian Grocer, Dec 2016, Vol.130(8), pp.13-14
- "Keeping it loose"; Harris, Rebecca; Canadian Grocer, Dec 2012/Jan 2013, p.17
There were many more sources that could be added, but I think this is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. The human rights violations alone lend notability as the public has a vested interest in learning about that topic as it relates to public safety concerns in the food supply.4meter4 (talk) 19:45, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- Note to XfD Closer: These journal article sources should be examined closely by downloading each source and ensuring none of them just reference Bulk Barn either in a passing mention, a tangential way, or in the journal article's bibliography. I'm still not convinced any of these sources provided by the above editors pass. Note, too, that a single legal decision(s) are considered trivial coverage. Doug Mehus T·C 20:05, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Dmehus: Have you actually read the sources? If not, you shouldn't be expressing any sort of judgment about being convinced or unconvinced. That's not following WP:AGF. Additionally, look at the years of coverage. This isn't just one case with articles dating from 2004-2019.4meter4 (talk) 20:15, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- 4meter4, I always assume good faith, so reject that assertion otherwise. I didn't download them because I may or may not have access to them at all. It would be helpful, when including sources, to include a relevant annotation for each article, to those without access and for convenience, that describes how each article mentions the subject of this Wikipedia article (Bulk Barn). Sorry if any misunderstanding taken, though. Doug Mehus T·C 20:17, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- I think I was pretty clear in my communication that the organization has been accused of human rights violations in multiple class action law suites over the past two decades which have significant coverage in peer reviewed journal articles provided above.4meter4 (talk) 20:33, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- 4meter4, Yes, that's clear, but for clarity, I meant the class actions. Are they covering Bulk Barn specifically, or just mentioning/referencing Bulk Barn in a brief paragraph or two? The latter would not count whereas the former certainly would. Doug Mehus T·C 20:39, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
- The first two articles deal with Ontario Ltd. v Bulk Barn Foods Ltd. which was a class action lawsuit by franchise holders against the parent company. The case is the central focus of both articles. The third article also deals with this case and its wider implications in doing business in Canada. It was an important case. The last article is about a bundled class action case Sambrano v. Bulk Barn Foods Limited, which deals with human rights violations and food safety concerns. In each article, the company is a central focus.4meter4 (talk) 20:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Relisting comment: While @4meter4:'s sources seem excellent, let's take an extra week for someone else to carefully review the sources and to see if enough of them pass WP:CORPDEPTH.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ミラP 23:23, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Seems clearly notable, coverage linked above alone is more than enough to pass the GNG. The current article needs significant wok, but that is not a reason for deletion. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 08:00, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- DESiegel, Note that Miraclepine, in relisting this discussion, asked for others to assess the sources provided by 4meter4 to see the degree to which they provide coverage—including, crucially, in-depth historical corporate background information—on Bulk Barn or whether they are merely relating to class action lawsuits or labour disputes. If the latter is the case, then a retitling, refactoring, and splitting of this article might be the case to focus on the specific legal machinations with respect to Bulk Barn as happened with another case, NCIX, and as recommended by Cunard, who, like 4meter4, dug up some useful reliable sources that focused not so much on NCIX as a company but their data breaches and resulting lawsuits. Doug Mehus T·C 15:45, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, may be relevant - found this: BBF was involved in the first class action case (1999) between franchisee and franchisor in Ontario - see here. Coolabahapple (talk) 15:47, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Coolabahapple, These all sound like great sources for a multi-company article focusing on class action lawsuits between Canadian franchise owners and franchisors—the article of which could include Bulk Barn, which would serve as a redirect to the applicable section of that article, and Tim Horton's class action lawsuits, among others. Doug Mehus T·C 15:50, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep Per WP:SIGCOV 250 locations... Media coverage of this company. Example: Bulk Barn takes promising step toward reusable containers and Charlottetown Bulk Barn store part of new waste-free initiative. Wm335td (talk) 21:10, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- Wm335td, Except those aren't significant coverage. They're routine, run of the mill coverage. I wouldn't consider "reusable containers" to be a particularly noteworthy development. Even if we liberally interpreted this as meeting WP:SIGCOV, WP:CORPDEPTH needs to be considered, for which there are simply insufficient reliable, independent sources on which to write more than a perpetual, stub- or start-class article. Thus, that crucial second test of WP:CORPDEPTH is most definitely failed.
- At best, if you're concerned with preserving editor attribution, I'd support retargeting to Bulk foods#Retailers with an Rcat "to section" identified. Alternatively, I'd potentially support a retitle-ing of this article to be focused on Bulk Barn's apparent eco-friendly efforts (similar to what we did weith NCIX post-AfD close). Doug Mehus T·C 00:16, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

- VR HMD mount (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
No references in the article support the existence of the terminology "virtual reality head mounted display mount". No reliable sources come up from a Google search of the phrase, likely because it does not exist since it is a mouthful. Most coverage of Google Cardboard, Google Daydream, and Samsung Gear VR simply refer to them as VR headsets. The virtual reality headset article already has a dedicated paragraph to discussing how these enclosure-type devices differ from self-contained headsets. I recommend the VR HMD mount article redirect to that one. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 17:04, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was keep , or at least there was no consensus to delete this article. Editors disagreed if WP:NOTABILITY had been established sufficiently, and how major/minor the character was. As a middle ground, I recommend to consider merging this article into a list of characters as an editorial measure. – sgeureka t•c 10:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

*I am more lenient with keeping this one. A major Doctor Strange enemy IMO. I would help save it if I had time. A full delete doesn’t sound necessary. There is List of Marvel Comics characters: U for brief mention of the character. But that’s just me. Jhenderson 777 20:44, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Per...what though? You’re not citing anything, policy, guideline, sourcing, or...anything. You didn’t give a reason. Sergecross73 msg me 22:36, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- My reasoning (even though I shouldn’t have to explain it) is that I feel there should be coverage on the character as she is a recurring enemy of Doctor Strange. I already explained I would look for some if I wasn’t busy, Jhenderson 777 23:53, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

- Sounds like you are being oblivious but I just linked sources on the bottom and had a lot of google news results of the character. I said I was busy at the time to not do it. That’s all! Jhenderson 777 02:43, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Which one of those are supposed to be significant coverage? I spotchecked a few of your bombardment of sources below, and just saw extremely brief passing mentions and listical entries. What I saw is not a convincing argument for meeting the GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 03:46, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- I already knew you would say that. I knew where your mind was and I knew I would't change it. But those sources did say stuff for a reception section at least that I can put down. As I said before GNG can be subjective because that fits my criteria for notability. It wouldn't even be a surprise if she is a character in the next Doctor Strange film potentially but I am not using that for a basis. If you keep commenting on my supposed vote that seem to be keep whining about with guidelines or in a nutshell essays. Then let me point out your double standard that you are not complaining about all the WP:PERNOM, WP:ASSERTN, WP:Not notable or WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP etc. Jhenderson 777 04:32, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Do you not spend much time at AFD or something? It’s not particularly controversial to assert that short listicle entries aren’t meeting the GNG, nor is it a “double standard” if I don’t question every person on their stance. I just found your stance particularly weak, and it’s telling that you’re spending more time complaining about me than you are providing better sources or formulating a better argument for meeting the GNG than “well it passes because my standards are super low”. Sergecross73 msg me 12:30, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- You were the first one to complain about a vote. Also no I don’t spend much time of AFDs like I used to. I most likely like to edit and improve articles. Which is a better thing to do than spend time on a voting system on butchering articles. Jhenderson 777 15:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - Considering Doctor Strange only namedrops the character one time in a parenthetical, I don't think Umar can be considered one of his major enemies. When templates are discounted, there are 21 incoming links from article bodies. Of those 21, at least 10 are lists. Spot checking the remaining 11 reveals passing mentions only. This doesn't meet my criteria for being notable within the fiction, but I don't oppose a redirect to something that already exists, like List of comic book supervillain debuts, which contains all the real world information about the character. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:57, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Judging by a namedrop? Really? While it can be debated she is notable, she plays too much an important role not just for Doctor Strange but for Dormammu and Clea too. How is she not considered an major enemy to you is beyond me. Jhenderson 777 00:17, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Here are sources that acknowledge the Doctor Strange villain. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] "Umar is one of Doctor Strange's most iconic villains" "being an unpredictable threat to Doctor Strange" Shuma-Gorath, the Beyonder, Kang the Conqueror, Mephisto, Umar – there are plenty of menaces that occupy other planes of existence than our own just ripe for a massive, on-screen punch-up. Jhenderson 777
- These are some sources. Not even all of it. All I did was use Google News. "I can do this all day!" Jhenderson 777 01:23, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Is that supposed to be an argument for notability, or just the subjective major/minor classification? Not a one of those helps establish notability if you're arguing from that standpoint. TTN (talk) 01:47, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- These are some sources. Not even all of it. All I did was use Google News. "I can do this all day!" Jhenderson 777 01:23, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yes and no. Notability is a subjective term sometimes. Especially with comic book characters. I promise you if there is an adaption of said character in the MCU than magically she would be notable to you because there will be sources talking about her. What I proved is that she is not an obscure Marvel comic book character like what was claimed. also I said that was only some of the sources. So don’t argue she is not notable just because all the sources claimed. Jhenderson 777 01:55, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm judging in-universe notability by incoming links. The point of having a list entry for a character without real-world notability is to serve as a focal point for information about a character that is linked from other articles. If the number of incoming links is low or their quality is low (such as the single parenthetical mention on Doctor Strange), there's no need to have a list entry. It may not be a perfect system, but it's an objective one. Argento Surfer (talk) 13:29, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well clearly that judgement was wrong as the sources tell a different story. Maybe not in notability but you your yourself was saying she is not much a Doctor Strange villain just because of a namedrop. Which sources trump anything you can judge by whatever Wikipedia did. I wasted my time looking for sources that will never be notable enough for anybody here just to prove the point that she is a major enemy of Doctor Strange. Jhenderson 777 15:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- If you have an alternative method for judging in-universe importance, I'd be happy to hear it. To clarify a point, I don't judge her unimportant because the Doctor Strange article namedrops her. I judge her unimportant because the Doctor Strange article only mentions her one time, in the "artifacts" section, as a parenthetical example that adds nothing to the article. I would expect a major enemy to be mentioned at least once in his biography, preferably with enough context to understand why she's important to his story.

Jhenderson 777 15:54, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Argento Surfer: You could at least read why I thought of her as essential on the article. Or at least read my sources pointed out. She is essential for the origin of the Marvel multiverse which she was a primary focus on the stories that focused on her origin alongside Dormammu. She Clea's (Doctor Strange's Main love interest) mother and Dormammu (Doctor Strange archenemy) sister. Those connections at least I would reconsider her as a merged character not a deleted character. Outside of those in-universe (which I know is a no-no) she is fairly recurring outside of Doctor Strange titles. She even had a relationship with the Hulk that one source I think I pointed out mentioned. She has been around from the Silver Age is still being utilized during the Modern Age. She has been in about at least 50 issues and (despite the article not saying as much) there is alternate versions of her and one media adaptation of her. She might even appear in the Doctor Strange sequel. Only time will tell. Already there is news sources striving and/or pointing out she would fit in the MCU as a villain. If she isn’t a core member of Doctor Strange's rogues gallery judging by what I tell you. I already pointed out her being in top Doctor Strange enemies on news sources. Jhenderson 777 18:22, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- I understand why you think she's his major enemy. I also understand that speculative articles and listicles about Doctor Strange sometimes include her. Nevertheless, I do not find her familial connections to important characters significant. I do not find the existence of alternate versions of her significant, especially considering her appearances in a comic book that deals with alternate dimensions on a regular basis. I am not impressed by her appearance in "at least 50 issues" from a company that has published 60+ comics per month for the last 30 years. Most importantly, I could not find a single article on Wikipedia that would be worse off if the information at Umar (Marvel Comics) was deleted. This is in contrast to a character like Infinity or Kronos. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:44, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Argento Surfer: You could at least read why I thought of her as essential on the article. Or at least read my sources pointed out. She is essential for the origin of the Marvel multiverse which she was a primary focus on the stories that focused on her origin alongside Dormammu. She Clea's (Doctor Strange's Main love interest) mother and Dormammu (Doctor Strange archenemy) sister. Those connections at least I would reconsider her as a merged character not a deleted character. Outside of those in-universe (which I know is a no-no) she is fairly recurring outside of Doctor Strange titles. She even had a relationship with the Hulk that one source I think I pointed out mentioned. She has been around from the Silver Age is still being utilized during the Modern Age. She has been in about at least 50 issues and (despite the article not saying as much) there is alternate versions of her and one media adaptation of her. She might even appear in the Doctor Strange sequel. Only time will tell. Already there is news sources striving and/or pointing out she would fit in the MCU as a villain. If she isn’t a core member of Doctor Strange's rogues gallery judging by what I tell you. I already pointed out her being in top Doctor Strange enemies on news sources. Jhenderson 777 18:22, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Adaptation to TV or film pretty much guarantees that reliable sources will cover the character in enough detail to build a reception section. For obscure characters, this also means that comic-oriented news sites will run primers explaining who the character is, which can help build a publication section. This does lead to some unexpected outcomes (and unfair ones, when it's a character I like that's being tossed). Trust me, I didn't expect to vote keep when I went to the Magpie discussion. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:31, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not defending the character because I am a fan. I am defending the character because she fits my criteria of being notable for comic book characters though. Which apparently is getting really subjective. Jhenderson 777 20:38, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

I don’t get upset when I need to inform people of failing to follow through on the very basics of AFD. Sergecross73 msg me 02:30, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- I did research and added imperfect ongoing info on it. I am keeping my vote from keep to speedy keep. I don’t think the articles needs to deleted at all. That's mainly means I want it merged if it can’t be kept. No need to pull the plug of the article. Also I concur with WP:DINC. Jhenderson 777 23:46, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- As I mentioned on the Notability talk page, you have added trivial, topical, dime-a-dozen articles that have no particular weight. Random people speculating on future Marvel movies, Top 10 lists, and simple one sentence mentions do not establish notability. These are mass produced drivel, and none of them even mention the character in great capacity in the first place. TTN (talk) 23:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- Significant coverage is significant coverage. Stop using fallacy excuses for it to be deleted. Just by what the sources are. Stop edit conflicting my opinion anyway. You can just ignore my vote. Also some of those had subsection of the character. They aren’t just trivial mentions. So don’t deceive some editors by what you think the sources are. Jhenderson 777 23:58, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- No, not all sources are equal. Websites that pump out dozens of non-news articles on pop culture items every day without stopping have less quality than those that actually care about editorial standards. It doesn't mean there is absolutely no place for them ever, but it does mean that they have less weight. Any article that puts in more than a sentence is simply recounting in-universe details on the character. This is less to change your mind and more to make others aware that these are trivial sources. The issue here is that you have it in your mind that a subjectively major character in-universe must translate to notable on Wikipedia, so you're taking anything you can find to make that a reality.

- Comment. I was pinged with the request to review the article since my vote few day ago. The 'Critical reception' is the only section that is relevant for the purpose of establishing notability. I reviewed [7] (few sentences), [8] (mention in passing in a single sentence shared with other characters), [9] and others and I am sorry, I am still not impressed. Nothing here is close to in-depth coverage, it's all a variation of fictional character biography and 'it would be cool if she appeared in a movie since she is bad ass'. Sorry, that's not enough to make her encyclopedic. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:27, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I'm regularly complaining that our notability standards for comic characters are way too low, and particularly so for DC and Marvel. Howevever, in this case, it seems to meet notability.
- Should Clea or Dormammu be deleted likewise? Because I would see all three of these as having a comparable foundation for notability. They are part of the Doctor Strange universe, they are long-established historically, they appear adequately often to be significant in-universe and even (within the somewhat less-than academic world of comics lit-crit) they're commented on in review articles. Are any of the claims made in this article somehow false? Andy Dingley (talk) 14:01, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- The issue of notability is an article by article case, so other comparable characters have to prove their own way. The issue with this article in particular is that the quality of the sources gathered is abysmal. It's a bunch of single mention clickbait with no substance. Some examples include:
- The 10 Worst Enemies Stephen Strange Has Ever Faced - Bottom of the barrel, hyper-focused top ten list from a site that released 22 "Top X" lists yesterday.
- 15 Superheroes Who Had Supervillain Lovers - That someone even thought to include this in the article is baffling.
- ROGUES' GALLERY: DOCTOR STRANGE'S TOP TEN VILLAINS - Formulaic, repeated, hyper focused top ten videos.
- Clea, the underrated Sorcerer Supreme - An article about a related character that only mentions the subject of the article in relation to the plot.
- MCU speculation with one sentence - "Shuma-Gorath, the Beyonder, Kang the Conqueror, Mephisto, Umar – there are plenty of menaces that occupy other planes of existence than our own just ripe for a massive, on-screen punch-up."
- MCU Speculation with two name drops of no importance,
- These have no substance. They're mostly mass produced clickbait. They are being used to source statements that have no actual relevance to the article. They're being given undue weight for the size of the quotes. It's just a smoke and mirror show. There are plenty of comic characters given real attention. This is not such a case.

- You have proven nothing in my personal opinion. These are pop culture articles that mention her in either great detail or namedrop. You keep using basis that the articles are stupid. Maybe they are! But they are still sources that the article mentioned. Top x characters can still be good articles to use. There is nothing wrong with them. Namedrops are desperate measures I admit but if they provide info that Nightscream just used than I am not complaining. Potential candidates for MCU are list articles that are used constantly and I still feel they help. Do I like all the sources. No! Stupid articles could of been less in-universe if I had my way. But they are what they are. No need to talk trash about articles. It just sounds like you don't want them to exist so the article can be deleted in your favor. Jhenderson 777 15:07, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Cheap, basic sources from sites of dubious editorial merit are not good sources. They are not reliable. Sources that do not mention the character in detail are not relevant to the character.

- They are too reliable. They are examples of sources /coverages that can be used. They are in the inclusion criteria. They represent popular culture despite all the stupid in-universe and crystal balling they sometimes do. Even if they didn't prove enough notability now or if it was a stupid topic. Also deletion should not even be a last resort even if the character is not notable when this many sources are utilized and put in the body of the article. Jhenderson 777 15:28, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- If a site is putting out two dozen lists per day, that means the quality of such articles is lacking. There is no way to maintain integrity when you have fifteen different authors scrambling to gather content for dozens of pop culture clickbait per week. If a site is simply name dropping a character, that article is irrelevant. This isn't opinion vs opinion. It's fact that these articles are mass produced clickbait. It's fact that a single mention of a character can in no way constitute significant coverage. TTN (talk) 17:26, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete: Notability as per the guidelines hasn't been established. I rather doubt that those few Keep proponents claiming that new sources have been added to the article actually reviewed those sources, which either only mention the subject fleetingly (and thus cannot count towards supporting notability), or fail to meet the requirements of WP:V for reliability, fact-checking and accuracy. Over on the WP:N talk page, where I asked Jhenderson777 which in the blizzard of sources are sources giving the "significant coverage" to the subject required by the GNG, and which of those sources meet the requirements of WP:V as "reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy," he's so far declined to answer save for launching another ad hominem attack such as he's done here. I invite any Keep proponent to answer those questions.
I also hope that the closing admin prioritizes policy over headcount, given that arguments like "Let this page stay" and "Minor character meriting a (minor) article" are nowhere to be found in Wikipedia notability criteria. No objection, of course, to merging to the List of Marvel characters, as above. Ravenswing 21:36, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

"Sounds like you are being oblivious ..." "Have editors like you realize this is a stupid thing to get upset about anyway?" "It apparently must be a nuisance to you though." "I understand if English isn't your main language though." "I knew where your mind was and I knew I would't change it." "If you keep commenting on my supposed vote that seem to be keep whining about with guidelines or in a nutshell essays." "Which is a better thing to do than spend time on a voting system on butchering articles." "you the most uncomfortable admin I ever talked to. Almost to the point of being uncivilized. Have a good day and cool down if you are as heated up as it sounds." "Stop using fallacy excuses for it to be deleted." "You are accusing me of doing that on purpose." "Apparently to you I must be a dense Senior Editor who shouldn’t have an opinion on reliable significant sources and their proof of general notability guidelines ..." And so on and so on. (By the bye, for someone who's put in thirty-two comments to this AfD, you still haven't answered my questions above: which sources, precisely, provide the subject with "significant coverage" as per the GNG, and which sources, precisely, do you claim to have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy?)

- "I think you and others had a deletion agenda to get rid of half of comic book character articles."
- That was an opinion. Not an attack.
"Sounds like you are being oblivious ..."
- That was no where an insult. I was addressing the editor that I did find sources. Apparently he didn’t see them yet.
"Have editors like you realize this is a stupid thing to get upset about anyway?"
- The editor was mocking my stance. Also opinion that he was taking it too seriously.
"It apparently must be a nuisance to you though."
- That was unserious comment.
"I understand if English isn't your main language though."
- I meant no offense. That should have been obvious. I just didn’t understand what he was saying.
"I knew where your mind was and I knew I would't change it."
- Again how is this an attack?
"If you keep commenting on my supposed vote that seem to be keep whining about with guidelines or in a nutshell essays."
- He was. It was kind of stressing me out and making me feel uneasy.
"Which is a better thing to do than spend time on a voting system on butchering articles."
- Just a non offensive opinion. Sorry if you feel "attack"ed on it.
"you the most uncomfortable admin I ever talked to. Almost to the point of being uncivilized. Have a good day and cool down if you are as heated up as it sounds."
- He was making me feel uncomfortable. Where was the lie?
"Stop using fallacy excuses for it to be deleted."
- I will probably strike this one. I went too far I admit on this one.
"You are accusing me of doing that on purpose."
- He was. Just a fact. Not an attack. Also that was more a question. Despite the lack of a question mark instead of period.
"Apparently to you I must be a dense Senior Editor who shouldn’t have an opinion on reliable significant sources and their proof of general notability guidelines ..."

- Keep as improved, and per potential for further improvement. There are two distinct vectors of potential notability for this character, one being her relationship with Doctor Strange, and the other being her relationship with the Hulk, which crosses certain lines not usually touched in the comics. bd2412 T 01:52, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

This is an article about a living person, who seems to be notable only for one event, so I an nominating this for deletion per WP:BLP1E (the 'Subjects notable only for one event' section of the biography of living people policy). She appears to be only notable for the 9/11-related email and has since retrained as a teacher, so it would seem unnecessary to keep an article on her specifically. The details of what happened can be covered in other articles. We do have quite a few articles on British government special advisors, so maybe I am missing some level of notability that this role confers (some have gone on to have political careers). Carcharoth (talk) 12:59, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- She is notable for only one event, but the event led to an expression which became useful and is still deployed on relevant occasions, viz: "It's a good day to bury bad news." Her infamous email was an early example of cynical media manipulation, and should be preserved for the historical record as an example of how political advisers were already behaving before the dawning of the age of Fake News.
- This is an interesting AfD and needs some reflection. After researching this a bit, I'm inclined to think that there are useable sources but they aren't basically about her. They're about news management. At present we do have news management but it's a redirect to a rudimentary semi-stub at managing the news. We also have media manipulation#distraction. I think there may be an opportunity to reorganise all this related content in a better way, reusing and refactoring the content in Jo Moore so it's about news management rather than about her personally. At the end of that process, I agree with Carcharoth that Jo Moore should be a redlink; but we've got to preserve attribution until we get there so I wouldn't want to delete it quite yet.—S Marshall T/C 13:38, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Not to get too off topic, but if anyone participating in this AfD wants to look at other SPAD articles, ones like Lizzie Loudon (who now works for Rory Stewart but you would struggle to learn that from her WP article), that might be useful as well (some SPADs were recently made peers, such as Elizabeth Sanderson, Baroness Sanderson of Welton and Joanna Penn, Baroness Penn, so while controversial in itself, that settles the notability question there). It seems that in general most UK government Special Advisors (recent ones at least) do go on to a career that can be covered by Wikipedia (often as MPs), but some don't. The careers can be a bit up and down until they end up becoming notable. Carcharoth (talk) 14:07, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Ther appears more than enough to meet the GNG here. The uN Idea fair win alone is probably enough for notability. Several of the cited dources are interviews, but contain significant coverage in the editorial voice befoe the start of the Q&A, and there is enough even without any of these. I removed some promotional writing from the article, nd it could use further improvement, but I see no reason to delete. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 08:17, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- The problem with this article is no reference provided for subject has in-depth significant coverage in reliable source that establishes notability hence doesn’t scale WP:GNG The only sources I see mostly discuss his work in passing & not him. @DESiegel: if you do find sources that show notability of the subject do provide it at this AFD. Furthermore the article is written as though it were a resume & advertisement. Celestina007 (talk) 13:23, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I have heard a lot about his works and innovations and i personally is impressed by the devotion of a Nigerian youth towards development irrespective of the risks attached. As @DESiegel: as said, the UN idea fair, Leap Africa Fellowship and Eco-E product are enough for notability. Celestina007 i respect your beautiful and very intelligent opinion but you know, "A man is celebrated because of his works, his works define him". This man was given the this priviledge because of his works which led to numerous interview sessions and as we can see indeptly, the sited interview sources contained straight forward significant coverages of the editorial input even before further questioning of the subject. Promotional writings may not have been intentional but since they all have been removed from the article by DESiegel then i believe we can give this a pass as i see no reason to delete.
Perhaps the writer was overwhelmed by the conduct, works and input to community and national development by a 22 year old who was once considered a failure by his class teacher. Hence, I see no reason to delete. Teebabalola (talk) 13:46, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Not enough WP:SIGCOV to establish WP:GNG and even if Adeyemi did meet notability standards it is clearly a WP:PROMO article (Keep vote above highlights likely WP:COI issues) that needs to be WP:TNTed. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:53, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment it should be noted that Teebabalola & Diesigel are yet to produce in this AFD reliable sources that discuss subject of AFD with in-depth and establishes his notability. AFD’s arent about how many keeps or delete votes but substantiating your votes with reliable sources (if you claim he/she is notable enough for inclusion) I am upholding GPL93 view; there isn’t enough WP: SIGCOV to show subject of our discussion is notable yet. Perhaps WP:TOOSOON Celestina007 (talk) 13:00, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:GNG, WP:MILL, WP:RS, and WP:TNT. I don't see how anything the subject has done is beyond what thousands of other business people have done as well, every day. It's not entirely clear what product or service he's created to improve other people's lives; marketing doesn't count. Almost every human being has been told by at least one teacher that they'd be a failure -- that's a trope, not a claim to notability. The sourcing is if dubious provenance. It's so poorly written ("his grandpa...", what specifically is he marketing) that an entire re-write will be necessary. Bearian (talk) 18:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete all as per nominator. These are redundant parts of an incomplete series and I think they breach WP:IINFO as lists created for the sake of creating lists and then never developed individually or completed as a series. I don't believe they add value and updating them would be a nightmare. The international cricket series is sufficient for listing the events. No Great Shaker (talk) 08:03, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep all as WP also acts as chronicle, or almanack. So, it is useful to have articles by year as they encompasses whole cricket i.e. domestic, and international. Störm (talk) 11:14, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - Calendar years and domestic seasons do not match up in the southern hemisphere. "Events of calendar year 2004", "Events of the 2004-05 [X country if necessary/wanted] season", and (for example) "Indian cricket in 2004-05", would refer to two different periods of time. If anything, surely the logic should be the other way round? Being an incomplete series does not make something intrinsically useless. Also, "international cricket in 2004" and "domestic cricket in 2004" (not that I would set up an article on the latter without slightly tidier article names) would refer to two completely different things. Bobo. 23:13, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete all per nom and WP:TNT. It's worth noting that these are stand-alone articles, started with good intentions, but then left to decay. 2004 has one reference. 2005 has no references. 2006 has one ref. 2007 has lots of refs (38), but apparently nothing of note happened after 13th June. 2010 has no refs and the page stops at 25th April.

- Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. To be fair, Boston is a large and important enough city that we would very likely accept substantive and well-sourced articles about its city councillors — but this article literally just states that he exists, without saying anything else about him at all, and single-sources that existence to his primary source profile on the city council's own website, which is not a notability-supporting source. The notability test for local politicians is the ability to write and reliably source an article with some actual substance to it, not just the ability to verify his existence with a single self-published "staff" profile — so if somebody can tackle writing an article that actually features some detail about his political career and some quality reliable sources to support it, then that would be different, but this as written is not enough. Bearcat (talk) 00:18, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- Likely keep A quick search does pull some reliable sources of his career, from his proposal to change the length of the council term to his position on safe injection sites, to his position on toy guns.

Funny article, and yes the video is terrible... however. There is nothing here that shows this is actually notable. No reliable sources are used in the article. IMDB, Amazon, RateYourMusic. And a search shows that none of them exist. There is also already a paragraph at Nostalgia Critic that covers everything here without the cruft, although it doesn't use any reliable sources either. So this can probably be deleted. --Quiz shows 19:33, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete: While the low rating on Rate Your Music and a negative review by Anthony Fantano have contributed to the notoriety of both the video and its associated album, barely any other reliable sources exist for the project to warrant its own article, not helped by the fact that most of the negative reactions are coming from Internet users rather than any actual critics.

The result was delete. There also was a merge suggestion but if no sources exist for the to-be-merged content that makes the objections grounded in WP:Verifiability a weighty counterargument.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
List of mayors of a small town, not reliably sourced as accurate. The town has a population of just 28K today, so its mayors would not generally qualify for standalone biographical articles -- literally the only two people here who actually have articles both have them for going on to hold much more important political roles at the provincial level rather than for being mayors of this town per se (and, in fact, even those two people were also left unlinked in this list until I caught them just now by searching to see if anybody in the list actually had articles at all, because until I did that the only wikilinks present in the entire list were to the town's article and the general concept article on mayors.)
And on the sourcing piece, there are just five footnotes present here, none of which are solid ones: one is being used solely in the infobox to verify the mayor's current pay grade, which is not significant information; three are WP:ROUTINE local sources being used solely to verify the names of three of the most recent mayors, with 44 of the 47 mayors still completely unsourced; and one is a local history book which certainly mentions the names of a few of the mayors, but not all of them, and is actually being used here solely to footnote the phrase "dates estimated" at the very bottom of the list rather than any of the actual content. And furthermore, there are six years in the 1960s for which the mayor is simply listed as "unknown" (further demonstrating that the history book doesn't list all of the mayors!), and while somebody recently posted to WP:CANTALK with the name of a person who served as mayor for one of those six years, we still can't locate any sources that verify anything about the other five years.
In other words, this is an inadequately sourced and incomplete list of almost entirely non-notable people -- and I can't think of any compelling reason why keeping a list of mostly non-notable smalltown mayors would be critically important enough to override all the other problems with this.

- Delete Subject fails GNG and the list substantively fails WP:V. The page is 95% unsourced which effectively precludes a merge.

- Ad Orientem, I disagree that the fact that it is currently unsource precludes a merge.

- As I'm new to the process of AFD, I would like to understand what are we trying to establish here. Is it Highlander Brigade is genuine? If it is the question then Highlander Brigade is a genuine and notable group. The group has 9.2+ follows on Facebook[10], 5.6k+ on Instagram[11] and some 1.1k+ on [12]. The regular viewers of the Indian Super League will know Highlander Brigade is mentioned and talked about in every NorthEast United pre-match discussion on the Star network. But for the given references, one is directly from the club itself, two is given to show or prove the claims in three and four is an article from Fisto Sports, a national sports news website and I don't believe they cover everyone for the sake of it.Bin(talk) 02:34, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- @BinBoro: We need articles which pass our WP:GNG general notability guideline. It's not enough that sources exist, it's not enough that we can verify something exists, we need multiple sources which show secondary, independent, reliable groups have adequately covered the topic. Fisto Sports FAQ says they'll write an article on pretty much anything, see here, so we can't use them as a reliable source. The article also needs a rewrite as much of the prose isn't encyclopaedic - it feels like what the group would write about itself and isn't adequately sourced. I'd be fine draftifying this until more sources can be found. SportingFlyer T·C 02:39, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see how Fisto is a problem. The Northeast one is good though. I'm surprised there isn't any coverage in Assamese. Significant media coverage is what we are looking for. 02:58, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, I understand @SportingFlyer:. The News Mill website and Khelnow, a leading sports news website, has written about the agitation of the Highlander Brigade towards the club NorthEast United FC.

None of the provided sources demonstrate WP:GNG: two of them are just instagram posts, and one is about the group supporting a FIFA video game event.

The second source is sending me to a video of a protest, so I'm not sure if that's what was intended but I have my doubts that would constitute significant coverage. The third source is a passing mention of the group in the context of the larger article. I am also unsure about the reliability of these sources. Jay eyem (talk) 01:48, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a German to English dictionary which is what this article is. The term "Bandsalat" is not in ordinary usage in the English language so this article is inappropriate for the English Wikipedia. The only substantive content relating to untangling the "tangle" with a pencil eraser and the associated image could be moved into the cassette tape article if some editor felt it was not undue.

- Redirect to Cassette_tape#Flaws, where it is mentioned. We should keep in mind the cautions of WP:RFOREIGN, but I think the term is well-known enough among cassette tape enthusiasts that this is OK as a redirect as a plausible search term. "Well-known enough" is a judgment call and deletion could be reasonably recommended, too. Probably tape salad should have the same redirect target. --

06:43, 9 November 2019 (UTC) - Redirect I more or less agree with the above. Expand Cassette_tape#Flaws to better describe "tape salad" with an image. Redirect "tape salad" there but Bandsalat need not be mentioned nor redirected. Tom94022 (talk) 07:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:NOT#PLOT, and doesn't establish WP:Notability; a plot summary is already present in List of Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister episodes.

- Regretful delete - As much as it pains me to vote delete on this, no, this is basically WP:ALLPLOT and hence fails WP:NOT.

FOARP (talk) 13:22, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't see a wikia dedicated to this show, so I am not sure if there is any other website that hosts a better plot summary for this episode (Series).

- Comment -- in regards to future AFDs, I'd be wary of lumping every episode together.

Individual episodes might also receive differential levels of coverage. matt91486 (talk) 00:06, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

- Merge sgeureka could re-nom the series (who are all in the same shape), and propose they be merged into the main Yes Minister article that should be re-done as a proper "Series" article with 10-line plot summaries for each episode, E.g. like this Chernobyl (miniseries)? There is too much plot here, but many Yes Minister enthusiasts (myself included), like to have a way to remind themselves of what happened in each one? Britishfinance (talk) 11:41, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- I am fine with redirecting all of them to the LoE, and interested editors can salvage what they want from the ep article history. However, I do not support leaving the articles up for longer - eleven years have been long enough. – sgeureka t•c 11:51, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

- Those are just one line summaries - way too short. We want the main article to look like this: Chernobyl (miniseries).

- I can certainly respect that an editor put work into this article, but that is not really a good reason to keep something. The final part falls under WP:OTHERSTUFF. Some shows have episodes that received enough coverage for individual articles, while others do not have this. Such comparisons are not particularly useful for this particular discussion. Aoba47 (talk) 04:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister episodes. Unfortunately, and as noted above, there are already short summaries of the episodes in the main article/list. Large scale merging seems likely to bloat the target article. However this is a viable search term and would make a good redirect. That would also satisfy some of the concerns of various editors with respect to preserving the material in the editing history of the redirect. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:53, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

- Weak Keep - Being an "award winner" doesn't automatically make someone notable. It comes down to the prize itself and in this case it doesn't count for that much. That said, CBC, Design Art Magazine, Artoronto, Vice, several things at Juxtapoz, Create Magazine, Hi-Fructose, nss magazine... there seems to be some halfway decent coverage. Some of these I'm including without entirely knowing they're reliable, though. I also acknowledge that several of these are interviews, which don't help the article that much but do contribute to notability. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:48, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

I know this article recently survived AfD (nominated for being too promotional) but there were only 3 !voters who responded and said that being overly promotional was a job for cleanup. I'm nominating it again for a lack of references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. There are 6 refs in the article, 2 of which are from the website, 2 are sales pitches for their cymbals, one is a blog and one is a mention-in-passing. My WP:BEFORE turns up a lot of references but they're either discussing the product, rely on information provided by the company/CEO/partner or are mentions-in-passing - I've yet to find a source that providings significant coverage and in-depth information on the company.

I'm scratching my head over how WP:PRODUCT is supposed to help establish the notability of organizations - it is only to address whether an article about an organization should include information on that organization's products. I'd go so far as to say that these editors (the Rescue Squaddies) are emerging as extremely disruptive editors in the AfD process. Just as with any article at AfD, the issue can be quickly resolved by linking to (any) references that you believe meet the criteria for establishing notability. Where are the references?

Your first link to Drummer Cafe contains nothing at all about the company itself and entire article is based on a video posted by the company and includes a comment from the company president. It is churnalism. It fails all of the criteria for establishing notability.

A weekly circulation of 750 copies; limited lifespan and scope and impact; and limited independent sigcov (Friheten is the CPN national paper) means GNG isn't met, but it would be reasonable to include them at the proposed section per WP:ATD, particularly given this one's founder. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 12:12, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. It is a nice short article, with sources that I can't read but look to me to be sufficient. And it's about a newspaper, for which in general it is often difficult to find coverage about them from other publications, as is covered in Wikipedia:WikiProject Newspapers/Notability, an essay about notability of newspapers which User:Peteforsyth recently notified me about. In general we need for Wikipedia to cover newspapers; i think we should be a gazetteer about them, because we need ourselves to know about their qualities as sources. Here, it is useful to have this article to inform any perspective about usage of this newspaper as a source, anywhere else. ("Oh, okay, that was a short-lived commie rag, perhaps a good source about X but not likely to be objective about Y"). And again it is a good, interesting short article ( i like it). --Doncram (talk) 01:05, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Non-notable, apparently defunct mobile home park, sourced from a directory which appears to have a much less stringent criteria than we do for populated places (otherwise 250+ mobile home parks in Arizona would be presumptively notable), fails WP:GEOLAND and WP:GNG.

- Any indication of population, or how "defunct" it is? We have a vanishingly low notability standard for geographical places, especially if (or if ever) populated. It would be strange to keep all the undeletable Indian villages, and the British crossroads "notable because it has a telephone box", yet delete this. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:34, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Doing a bit of original research at historicaerials.com shows no indication of any mobile home park at the point where OSM says it is. The only results are from sites using the same database to populate their data. It's not impossible the mobile home complex was in a different place, but that doesn't inspire confidence. This is a bad stub created from an unreliable database. SportingFlyer T·C 12:18, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep as per WP:GEOLAND. Not defunct, still a neighborhood in Mesa, Arizona. Neighborhood Scout, has a pretty extensive report on the location, using data from U.S. Bureau of the Census, the U.S. Department of Justice, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the U.S. Geological Service. Since it has "an official federally recognized name", as per the USGS, it passes GEOLAND's populated, legally recognized places criteria. It also comes up in other geo database searches (although with very little info, simply proof of existence), such as Michelin. Okay, I think I found the issue, when looking for other sources, I discovered the DEC and DMS coordinates in USGS don't match: when using DMS, it gives a location further west, near Apache Junction, while when using DEC the location is more east, in Mesa. SportingFlyer's source absolutely shows nothing there, when using DMS, but when using DEC, it brings up the correct location, supported by those other database sources, as well as Neighborhood Scout. I've changed the coords to DEC. Onel5969 TT me 14:02, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- The autogenerated Neighborhood Scout data is not for this supposed neighborhood, it's for Census Tract 422628! Compare with https://statisticalatlas.com/tract/Arizona/Maricopa-County/422628/Overview#nav-map/place. Geoland explicitly excludes census tracts, and NS creates these using census data for every one of the 74,100 tracts in the country. This is NOT notability. Reywas92Talk 21:03, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Another non-notable "neighborhood". Being listed in the GNIS database does not confer "legal recognition", therefore fails WP:GEOLAND as having insufficient coverage as "subdivisions, business parks, housing developments," etc. MB 16:48, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Zero indication of notability. The GNIS is NOT "legal recognition", it is simply a database of anything that has appeared on a map. The GNIS citation is just the Yellow Pages! The Michelin site merely uses the GNIS database and is not indication that any person has acknowledged it, just that the coordinates are imported. Neighborhood Scout's data is NOT for this supposed neighborhood, it's autogenerated for Census Tract 422628, which is explicitly excluded from GEOLAND. NS produces these reports for all of the 74,134 census tracts in the country like this other one nearby. Reywas92Talk 21:03, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete There's a precedent (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 among others) that trailer/mobile home parks and similar recent residential developments are not notable unless proven otherwise (e.g. clearly passes WP:GNG or is a census-designated place). This one doesn't seem to be an exception. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 15:45, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
*Keep as per WP:GEOLAND. We have a low bar for these populated places. Onel5969 does some good work here. Lightburst (talk) 00:23, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- We have a low bar for populated places with legal recognition. "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG." This subdivision isn't legally recognised, and WP:GNG isn't met here. SportingFlyer T·C 01:46, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment as per the USGS, it passes WP:GEOLAND's populated, legally recognized places criteria.
Lightburst (talk) 02:00, 18 November 2019 (UTC)Desert Village Mobile Home Park (GNIS FID: 36966) is a populated place located in Maricopa County at latitude 33.413 and longitude -111.623. The elevation of Desert Village Mobile Home Park is 1,542 feet. Desert Village Mobile Home Park appears on the Apache Junction U.S. Geological Survey Map. Maricopa County is in the Mountain Time Zone (UTC -7 hours).
- As per the USGS, it is not a federally recognised place. A populated place that is not a census designated or incorporated place having an official federally recognized name. Therefore it has to pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 02:02, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Nothing about "Federal" in GEOLAND #1
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history.
Now I leave this AfD about a mobile home park to do other work. My !vote is citing policy and guidelines. Lightburst (talk) 02:09, 18 November 2019 (UTC)- The USGS is a federal/national database, the census is performed federally in the US, and if the federal government didn't recognise it but the state did I would agree with you, but there's absolutely no evidence of that. SportingFlyer T·C 02:35, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Here you can find the USGS Topo maps for this location – the 1956 map notes about 30 Trailer Parks. An advanced search in GNIS, a database of everything that has ever appeared on the topo maps, for the "Apache Junction" quad brings up no fewer than 60 mobile home parks, all listing "Yellow Pages" or "Citation Unknown" as the source. The idea that the drafters of GEOLAND intended its definition of "populated, legally recognized places" to be identical to that of the GNIS, to mean Yellow Pages entries of subdivisions and neighborhoods rather than actual cities, towns, and villages in which they are located, is simply absurd. This notion willfully disregards the explicit specification of "subdivisions...unofficial neighborhoods" in the following line, which a mobile home park clearly is, and it willfully disregards our expectation that when something is "presumed to be notable", further sources could be found. This is not the case. Reywas92Talk 08:52, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete @Reywas92: Per Geoland #1 I have strong disagreement with your statement
...when something is "presumed to be notable", further sources could be found
because that is not the high bar which is required to meet GEOLAND #1. However you make some very reasoned arguments here regarding the legal status of this area and the opinion that this area must meet the higher bar of GEOLAND #2. Your research has shown that this area does not fit under criteria #1: additionally I was unable to locate the Desert Village Mobile Home Park, in the 2000 census. So this is then a neighborhood/subdivision/housing development and the area must meet the higher bar set in GEOLAND #2.…subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources.
And because no sources exist to pass GNG required by GEOLAND #2, this article should be deleted. Lightburst (talk) 23:48, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

I had to do some digging for this one but I cross referenced the photos on the site, to this photo on her social media page "https://www.instagram.com/p/BUze750DJkZ/" and found out that her first name is spelled wrong and I'm not sure if that last name is right either because it mentions it no where else that I've found.

- This discussion focuses on whether C.Nichole is eligible to have a Wikipedia article (notability). Just to be clear, "not significant" refers to significant coverage – eligible sources are generally expected to have at least a couple of paragraphs that directly describe the article subject. Some of the listed sources (such as AllMusic) are allowed to be cited in the article, but they don't establish the artist's notability unless they help the artist meet the criteria in the notability criteria for musicians. Database listings of artists and releases need to be accompanied with critical reviews to count toward notability; otherwise, AllMusic's 3 million albums and 30 million tracks would all be eligible for inclusion on Wikipedia, and that would be too indiscriminate to fall under Wikipedia's scope. Thanks again for contributing this biography to Wikipedia, but I think it might be a better fit for another site like the ones listed in the directory of alternative outlets. — Newslinger talk 08:55, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't think this has enough citations to reliable sources to meet WP:GNG.
My Evaluation of the sources:
- Neighborhood journalism that reads like an ad.
- A real review in a possibly reliable but not well-known source
- Not coverage of the subject
- An announcement of a screening
- A review in a source that advertises itself saying
[We] will rate and promote your Indies film. Official Selections of Film Festivals and Award winners will have priority on being reviewed, the trailers shown and their film introduced to a worldwide public.
[22] - Brief coverage in a film shorts roundup on a blog
- A seemingly non-notable award from a pay-to-play [23] review website
All told, we have one example of decent coverage in a reliable source, but an obscure one that doesn't leave me hopeful that other sources will have picked up on this subject, and no claim to meeting WP:NFILM. signed, Rosguill talk 07:16, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was Keep two articles, no consensus on the others. This is a complex discussion, to the point that some people have suggested that it should be closed as WP:TRAINWRECK. Nevertheless, it seems like the consensus is strongly leaning towards the Dæmon and Dust articles meeting inclusion criteria owing to several sources which have been presented and only weakly contested (among other things "fancruft" is not a deletion reason). The list articles are more debatable as some people have skipped them and the discussion does not seem to have a clear consensus about whether they meet notability and forking guidelines mostly due to e.g concerns about whether the sources meet WP:SIGCOV criteria about primaryness and mentioning-in-passing and about whether the quality of the forked text actually justifies having them as separate articles. Also, a number of arguments are vague or not based in policy and guideline ("fancruft" is not a deletion guideline and "it's useful" or "other series have such lists as well" is not normally a sufficient reason to keep). Overall, it seems like the lists might benefit of dedicated discussion.

Fancruft. These are all fictional elements from the His Dark Materials novels and other media. They fail WP:GNG, because, while the novels, TV series and movie are notable, these elements aren't covered in third-party reliable sources to an extent that could be the basis for a standalone article.

highly implausible. HDM is probably the single most heavily-discussed work of British fiction since The Lord of the Rings and just dropping "His Dark Materials" into Google Scholar brings up a raft of academic papers on the topic, including works specifically about the topics of these individual articles (e.g. Dust as an All-Inclusive, Multifunctional Metaphor in Philip Pullman's “His Dark Materials”). ‑ Iridescent 08:29, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

You do not address the actual reasons for deletion, namely, a lack of sufficient third-party sourcing, and an in-universe focus so severe a total rewrite would be needed. Sandstein 12:25, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- As Iridescent noted already, we're awash with serious study of Pullman. Already he's seen as being on a par for these works with Tolkien and CS Lewis. To dismiss this as mere "fancruft" shows that not only are you unaware of what is out there, you're also just being patronising for the hell of it. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:04, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- No. I am intentionally patronising, but about the crufty content, not about the subject. I am aware that Pullman and his works are well covered. This does not mean that these particular subtopics are as well. At least judging by the articles, they are not. And it's up to those who want to keep them to establish the contrary. If there are enough academic studies of Pullman's Dust that we can write an article based on them, I'm all for somebody doing that. But this is just plot summary. Entirely worthless stuff, something for fan wikis. Sandstein 13:19, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Agreed. While some of these topics very likely aren't notable, bundling them all together like this was not really the best way to have done this. The topics are disparate enough that this could easily result in a WP:TRAINWRECK. Rorshacma (talk) 16:33, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Keep all Daemon and Dust are notable on their own terms. Significant coverage of Daemon in RS includes [24] [25] [26]. Significant coverage of Dust in RS includes [27] [28] [29] [30]. These are just 3 unique examples for each topic (some of which also cover the other in significant detail) from just one database (JSTOR). I am confident if I searched other literary sources (e.g. Project Muse) more sourcing for these two topics could be found. As for Locations and Races/creatures even if not independently notable (and they might be I just haven't searched because of what I am about to write) I would suggest that they are policy compliant forks and not just fancraft.

Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 12:46, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 I believe that the editor who brings a source fourth should explain why the coverage in them is significant. You made an assertion that those sources discuss the topic in-depth, bit have not provided any analysis or quotations. I could just as well assert that those sources do not contain any in-depth discussion of the topic, just mentions in passing. Can you prove me wrong? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:44, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Well one of the articles is 22 pages entitled "Dialectical "Complexifications": The Centrality of Mary Malone, Dust, and the Mulefa in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials" so I'd have hoped that the GNG connection there would be obvious. But fair enough - besides that source see pages 422-3 for a discussion of how it relates to concepts in Milton and 431 for an endorsement of a blog post (which might fail selfcite) that discusses it further in [31]. See pages 273-74 for a comparison to concepts in Plato in [32], and as a central plot concept on page 72 of [33] but then goes on to note several other academic and formal writings including this on page 78. Most of these are too extensive to be quoted, hence the way that they satisfy GNG, and is why I had not done so in my original !vote. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:07, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
- Barkeep49 Names can be misleading. I've seen articles or chapters that mention topic x in the name (or abstract) and never again. I cannot access the first article (my uni doesn't subscribe to JSTOR, and it's not even in Library Genesis). Without reading it I cannot assume that it discusses the subject, and with all due respect, neither should you (it is a good source to bring forth here, but an editor needs to provide an analysis before it is more than a 'google hit'). As for other sources, I am willing to AGF them and deter to your analysis that the concept of Dust is discussed in them in more than just passing, so I'll adjust my vote. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:24, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

- WP:PAYWALL When someone puts up a solid 23 page academic paper about the topic, you can't simply reply, "I can't be bothered finding access to a service which exists to give free academic access to sources and is widely used, for free, by WP editors, so I'm just going to assume, against other editors, that it has nothing to do with the topic." That's some of our basic sourcing policy. Pullman is still relatively recent, compared to Tolkien or Carroll. Academic studies are out there, but they're not yet sitting for free on the shelves of every public library (although there's yet another route to free Jstor access). But that's no reason to claim that they can't exist. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:50, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- Comment, apart from speculative content about purpose, meaning etc, the lists nominated do not need refs since the source is the book itself, to the same extent that a plot summary would be. I did a massive clean-up of 'fancrufty' material some years ago - it's possible/probable that some was missed. I believe both 'dust' and 'daemons' may still have WP:OR and may not be notable, but no source is required for purely factual material about creatures and/or locations since the source is the trilogy itself.

- Merge all. The informational content is fine, but the independent (literary arts analysis) sources aren't about the objects in the stories so much as the meaning of the stories themselves, and as such shouldn't be used to support separate articles about those elements. Furthermore, the sources put forth in this AfD discussion are not yet cited in the articles themselves, and aren't likely to be for the preceding reasons, so GNG isn't likely to be attained with them. EllenCT (talk) 03:28, 20 November 2019 (UTC)
- "sources aren't about the objects in the stories" Whilst that might be true for the more minor aspects, such as "Jordan College" or "Gyptians", that's certainly not the case for Dust or Daemons, the two major philosophical strands in Pullman's work. Those are exactly the things which are being written about in such depth.
- Secondly, the idea that "sources at an AfD do not convey WP:N until such time as they're incoporated into the article text" is completely wrong, per our basic policies on GNG etc. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:47, 20 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep all I don't want to dig too deep in this set of topics as I'm watching the new adaptation and so am wary of spoilers. But it's clear that there is extensive scholarship and sources for this material and so the claim that it fails WP:GNG is false. The main page, His Dark Materials, is 68K as there are numerous works and adapations in a variety of media and so there's a lot of ground to cover. Spinoffs and splits are therefore sensible and any structuring or restructuring is just a matter of ordinary editing per WP:ATD, WP:IMPERFECT and WP:PRESERVE. Deletion would be disruptive and so is not appropriate.
- Another point. The readership of these pages is high as viewers of the new adaptation come to Wikipedia to understand its mysterious aspects like dust and the dæmons. So, there are thousands of readers every day but where are they in this discussion? All I'm seeing here are the usual suspects – fanatical insiders and veterans – and this demonstrates the extent to which AfD doesn't represent a true consensus of Wikipedia's users. Wikipedia is supposed to be the encyclopedia that anyone can edit but most everyone is being shut out by a Magisterial process that gives them no voice. Tsk.

- Delete The two lists at least. I won't bother to comment on the other two right now. The arguments that those are proper splits are ridiculous. WP:NOTPLOT is completely against that kind of content. These are lists of minutia that help nobody understand the context. Summary style content is king in fiction, and some people think that's impossible. Guess what? If the page is too long, then we simply don't need to cover the material unless backed by non-primary sources. I have never seen anyone actually argue why lists like these are necessary beyond pointless arguments like page views. Guess what? If you look at a specialized Wikia's views, they'll far surpass any page on Wikipedia. It's pointless to draw away views from useful information for this bare bones useless junk. Then there's the usual "there's sources because this is a popular series" arguments. The pages should not have been brought into existence without sources. If sources are actually abundant, we can try to imagine the articles' optimal states, but the promise of possible sources is just an excuse to let these linger.

Fails WP:NALBUM, on account of the album not actually existing and the title simply being a placeholder rather than a confirmed name. A few demos were recorded, and that was it, basically. I understand why the article creator wanted to make something of these recordings, and they absolutely should be mentioned somewhere in the band's history, but there is so little verifiable information (mostly divulged by then-singer Gary Cherone during this interview with Rolling Stone [34] and in another one with Ultimate Classic Rock [35]) that it would only take two or three lines and would be better to just include it in Van Halen#1996–1999: Gary Cherone era, where it is already mentioned. Seeing as the album was never given an official title, I don't see how a redirect would be useful here: readers could just as well be looking for "1999 Van Halen demos" or "second Van Halen album with Gary Cherone".

Fails WP:NCONCERT in particular and WP:EVENT in general. The article creator has been on a mission to create articles for every single Santana tour, even though most of them clearly aren't notable enough for a Wikipedia article. At least most of them can be redirected in due course to an article about the parent album, but in this case that won't be possible. This isn't a tour (despite the use of the infobox for tours), it's a list of the eight live appearances made by the band during a particular calendar year – six entirely unrelated one-off appearances, seemingly for fund-raising events (this isn't entirely clear, two of the gigs are simply listed in the "tour dates" section and never mentioned anywhere else in the article), and two dates in Moscow. As with many of the other Santana tour articles that this editor has created, they are mostly sourced to the official Santana website (not independent), fan sites (not reliable) and Setlist.fm (also unreliable), and just end up being WP:NOTDIR tour date listings. This article does have a couple of reliable sources in it, but they are literally "Santana played at the event" passing mentions... some of these appearances were as part of an event line-up, not headlining concerts. There is no in-depth, independent reliable coverage of any of Santana's shows included in this article, and to describe it as a "tour" would be OR. A redirect to Santana (band) doesn't seem possible, given the non-notability of Santana's participation in most of these events and the fact they are not mentioned in the band's article, and the vague OR title of this article meaning it's not a likely search term.

I read your statement. I agree that most of the articles I've created most likely deserve deletion since those tours aren't very notable and the articles do not give good coverage of them nor cite reliable sources. I was considering making an article for tours and performance lists like this one, e.g. List of Yes concert tours (1960s–70s). How is that idea? CHICHI7YT (talk) 23:10, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
- That's not a bad idea, actually. I left your other articles alone because at least with tours, there's a good chance that reviews or descriptions of the shows do exist in print magazines of the time, so there is the possibility that they could be improved. The problem with this article is that because it's not a tour, it's a random collection of unrelated shows, in some of which Santana only shares the billing with other artists, it's very unlikely that there's ever going to be any in-depth coverage of Santana's part in these shows. But a list article might solve that issue because all you would need is a reliable source that shows that the performance took place, and it would probably be more beneficial to the type of information you are trying to convey. I don't deal with list articles much myself, so I'll leave it to other editors to decide whether WP:NLIST and WP:LISTCRITERIA could be met here. Richard3120 (talk) 00:02, 9 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep after trimming/adjusting. It seems that at least 3 of the entries can reasonably either be titled partial or refer to a topic in an article which is referred to simply as a "partial": Partial derivative (when spoken, it is often simply referred to as "the partial of f with respect to x", for example); "Part score", which is piped to Glossary of contract bridge terms § partial links to a glossary as a short term for "partial score"; and "Partial wave", although that's piped to Harmonic series § partial. I didn't check all the others, but there might be a few more as well. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 13:51, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Even given the above cleanup and keep comment, this still doesn't satisfy WP:PARTIAL's guidance (irony indeed) on DABs. From that guideline
A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion between them.
These are just shortened versions of the proper names, and if someone really is just using the term partial when talking about say a partial derivative (I haven't seen that in my scientific tenure), that would be in WP:JARGON shorthand territory. In this case in terms of search engine function, it's better to remove this page and let the engine do its job by filling in potential search terms as the user enters the following part of the phrase they are looking for. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:21, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- Just a followup note that as of the comments of Nov 19, this is still a very strong delete based in WP:PARTIAL, which the current keep votes are in direct contradiction with. This isn't what we have DABs for. Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:58, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per Kingofaces43. This is just an adjective. Agricolae (talk) 22:54, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Agricolae: This is objectively false. See for example wikt:partial#English, which lists no less than five separate definitions for "partial" as a noun. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:59, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- And they are all just adjectives being used as jargon - a partial fingerprint, a partial derivative, a partial denture, etc. Agricolae (talk) 23:08, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
- In retrospect this may not have clearly expressed my position. What I am saying is that these 'noun usages' are used between two people inside a jargon- or context-bubble, with the shared understanding that when talking about foo, a 'partial' is a partial foo, but are not used where one would expect a naive listener outside the bubble to know which foo partial is referring to. When talking to such naifs, the speaker would use the term in full with partial as an adjective. That is why I think 'noun usages' are jargonistic and not general usage. I don't think it is useful to detail all of the different settings in which a partial foo might just be referred to as a 'partial'. Agricolae (talk) 19:34, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

- More like the other way around. No guideline is going to list every thing it disallows, otherwise it'd just be wikilawyering.

- REDIRECT OR DELETE. Title of article needs changing OR needs to be redirected. "Telecommunications Bill" is not how congressional bills are named/titled. The phrase "the telecommunications bill of 2005" would likely be a common non-proper noun referral phrase to the real bill, which already has an article: Communications Opportunity, Promotion and Enhancement Bill of 2006.

Delete- A minor character and an article almost entirely dedicated to in-universe summary. The two references are to a website which does not appear to be a reliable source (and would appear to give more notability to the actor than the character in any case).

The result was no consensus. Unfortunately, discussion seems to have died off over a week ago. WJ94 seems to have successfully identified a few sources and has changed opinions from delete to keep, and I see that they have added those sources to the article. That leaves this debate pretty close to even, so the best result is no consensus, with no prejudice against speedy renomination if the delete !voters believe that a consensus can be reached with a second attempt.

- Keep. Accredited degree-awarding tertiary institution. When I see these institutions listed for deletion, my rule of thumb is always: would a similar institution in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, etc, ever be likely to be deleted? If the answer is no, then I do not think there is good reason for deletion (see WP:SYSTEMIC). That is, I think, the case here and indeed the case with pretty much every accredited degree-awarding institution around the world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:56, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Whether Pakistani, American, British, or even Nauruan, an educational institution has to have evidence of at least existing before any other notability criteria are considered.

Delete- After finding nothing through Google/Google News/Google Scholar, I did finally come across this – the Adamson Institute of Business Administration and Technology is listed as an affiliated private college of the University of Karachi. I have also come across this, which also lists Adamson as an affiliate and notes that degrees are awarded by the University of Karachi. Therefore, and in response to Necrothesp, this is not anaccredited degree-awarding tertiary institution
; its degrees are accredited by the University of Karachi. According to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES,most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions have enough coverage to be notable, although that coverage may not be readily available online
; this institution does not meet that criterion since it is not independently accredited. Given the lack of any further sources which would establish notability, I think we can delete. WJ94 (talk) 18:06, 14 November 2019 (UTC)- Redirect/selective merge to the University of Karachi.

- Comment. Once again I see above a lack of understanding of how tertiary institutions work in India and Pakistan. Most colleges are affiliated to a university. This does not mean they are part of the university or that they are not independent institutions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:08, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Necrothesp: It turns out I linked to the wrong page yesterday (apologies for that – I had about 20 similar-looking tabs open trying to understand this!). My first link should have been this, and my second link should have been this. The second link notes that
The Degree is awarded by the University of Karachi.
This to me suggests that the Adamson Institute is not an independently accredited institution (I am not saying that it is a part of the university but I am saying that it does not have the ability to confer degrees by itself, independently of the university). If this were a similar institution in the US, UK, etc (ie. an institution which had its degrees conferred by another university), I would !vote delete if multiple reliable sources could not be found for it. - @4meter4: Since this institute is not part of the university, I am not sure a redirect would be useful, nor am I convinced that the University of Karachi's page needs a list of all the colleges affiliated with it (since it does seem to be a pretty routine arrangement in Pakistan). Having said that, I don't have strong feelings here, so I wouldn't be utterly opposed to a redirect. WJ94 (talk) 10:47, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- You could have said that about any of the polytechnics in the UK before they became universities. None of them conferred their own degrees, which were conferred by the CNAA. But nobody would have said with a straight face that they weren't notable institutions. One size fits all does not work internationally. All countries work differently. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:02, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Necrothesp: On reflection, I think you are right. Now we have found reliable sources to establish the existence of the institution, I think it is reasonable to suppose that multiple reliable sources probably do exist but are difficult to access online; sensitivity to WP:SYSTEMIC leads me towards wanting to keep this article. As a tertiary education institution affiliated to the University of Karachi, I expect an editor in Pakistan would be able to locate enough offline sources to establish notability. I have added the sources I have found to the article and tagged it as containing only primary sources. WJ94 (talk) 13:39, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Easily meets the GNG rule. The fact that he only came to wider notice after his death is irrelevant. He has had in-depth coverage for a body of work created over decades during his lifetime.

- CommentI think that might be a rather novel interpretation of GNG. For example, if someone made terrible art over their lifetime, and made one good thing at the very end of their life that was posthumously recognized in four articles, they would qualify under what you are saying. So we would have people who made one good thing (BIO1E) getting articles. I don't think that is the intention of the GNG. as WP:GNG says: "Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time". That is not the case here.

- Correct, my point only illustrated that the coverage is what counts, and the coverage here is BIO1E. Single event with short-term coverage. Short term coverage of a life's work is not the same as long-term coverage of a life's work.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:34, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- You have misunderstood BIO1E. The event referred to there is the subject of the article, not the coverage of it which may occur over time or all at once. This is not a single event because his life was not a single event. It was a decades long event and the bunching of the coverage in a short period after his discovery is not relevant as the coverage discusses his life and work as a whole. See this source for instance: Campaign to save deceased Irish artist’s life’s work which says "his project remained a secret for thirty years". Note the phrase "life's work". Philafrenzy (talk) 08:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
- You are misinterpreting the basics of our notability rules. He got zero coverage during his lifetime. He got brief posthumous coverage. The mistake in your argument is that you are saying brief coverage is OK, as long as the coverage is about something you have been doing a long time. You've been flower arranging at home your whole life, and got three articles in the newspaper in October? Welcome to Wikipedia! That is incorrect and subverts the intention of the notability guidelines. In any case, I think we will have to agree to disagree here. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 13:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT: The references are a database entry and two industry award listings, and the awards don't count towards anything now that PORNBIO has been deprecated. I looked for additional sources and found nothing useful. Cheers, gnu57 03:10, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep -- I also think this article passes the notability guidelines, as Zile said. There are also other Wikipedia articles for similar, low-end, "unremarkable" phones, like the Samsung Galaxy M10 or the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. -- Telescopegenius (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Fails WP:NOTABILITY. Only minimal, obscure references to the Tequlia Party by reputable sources from several years ago. No references to it from any discernible sources in the last few years. Ergo Sum 01:29, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Maybe it can pass the basic notability guideline, I'm not sure. --Zile (✉) 17:07, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. As others have said, notability is not temporary. Wikipedia can contain information from the past, even if it is less relevant today. Acamicamacaraca (I hope I spelled it right) has already pointed out enough sources to satisfy WP:GNG. UnnamedUser (open talk page) 02:52, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Dallas (1978 TV series). Under the assumption that people wanted to link to Dallas (1978 TV series) rather than Dallas which is about the city. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:46, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Another very poorly sourced minor character from Dallas. There's blogs and fan sites on the internet, but nothing of substance. She is mentioned, nothing more, in here, and next to nothing here--and that's the best I can find. Drmies (talk) 01:18, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

- Redirect to Morgan Brittany/Dallas/List of Dallas characters or elsewhere. It does not pass the general notability guideline as it has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. There are only mentions. I found on the Internet a couple of blogs and a page on Fandom, but these cannot be considered reliable sources. Instead of deleting, it may be better to redirect it. --Zile (✉) 16:13, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Redirect to Dallas. Tag on it since 2013. Very minor character. Non-notable. scope_creepTalk 16:15, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Delete have a look at "background" section of the article. It drops a lot of wiki links to people related or associated with her. WP:INVALIDBIO. If the decision is to redirect, I think the title should be changed to "Katherine Wentworth (minor character)" or something. Graywalls (talk) 19:42, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

The result was speedy delete as copyvio. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 01:54, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- Note: I closed this under my main account, however upon further investigation it looks like this was a copy from the main article and not copied from an external link as I'd thought. I'm going to try to help the student improve this and then move it back live. Meatsgains, if you still think it's going to have issues with notability then I have no problem with re-adding the AfD tags and it going through a formal discussion.
