- Keep. Except he does have coverage - an Allmusic bio cited in the article for starters (which describes him as a "leading UK garage DJ"), and he has had a top 40 hit in the UK (edit: actually three top 50 singles in the UK - see [1]), also sourced in the article. How many Spotify or Soundcloud followers someone has has never been an accepted measure of notability. There is also more coverage around, e.g. from the BBC, NME, The Guardian, and Billboard (...Ed Case, whose remix was responsible for Gorillaz's worldwide hit "Clint Eastwood"...), so I don't see any valid arguments for deletion in the nomination. --Michig (talk) 17:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Michig: Well done for finding that. scope_creepTalk 18:19, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as per the significant coverage in multiple reliable sources shown above which enable a pass of WP:GNG and the charting singles that pass WP:NMUSIC criteria #2 (only one criteria needed), thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I will add that https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/9232/ed-case/ indicates two top 40 results in the UK. Snow close? Is scope_creep interested in withdrawing? Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:53, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. If anybody wants to add information about Mustapha to Louis Farrakhan, they're free to do so. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:49, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
- Mustapha Farrakhan (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)
Mustapha Farrakhan has a very famous father and a notable son, but apart from one story from 2013 about collecting a paycheck despite not working, there are no other reliable sources about him. If that's the only reliable source, which it is, there are BLP concerns. Even with that one source, the subject still fails the GNG due to a lack of SIGCOV in reliable sources. schetm (talk) 21:44, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Merge with Louis Farrakhan. Agree with nom that most coverage in reliable sources revolves around the police controversy with no follow-up reporting, as in WP:BLP1E. Just being the son and likely successor of Louis Farrakhan is not enough per WP:INVALIDBIO and WP:CRYSTAL, so I don't see the justification for a standalone article at this point in time. StonyBrook (talk) 03:13, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep UPI, AP, and the Chicago papers were all over this guy on corruption charges because he had a job at the police department where he did nothing except escort Daddy around town in police cruiser. The story in the Chicago Tribune was a finalist for a Pulitzer.Strandvue (talk) 12:22, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Doing nothing except escort Daddy under color of an official police position and having a flash of reporting about it doesn't qualify someone to have an encyclopedia article written about them. The Pulitzer article was not about Farrakhan specifically but Harvey police corruption in general. StonyBrook (talk) 22:00, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Multiple sources describe Mustapha as likely successor to Dad, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, which probably explains why the police "job" was covered nationwide and revisited in the article about police corruption that was short listed for a Pulitzer. Oh, and your statement that there was "one mention" is problematic because there were multiple stories in media nationwide in addition to coverage in all of the Chicago media. Also, while the Pulitzer story was not only about Farrakhan, it certainly went after Farrakhan. Strandvue (talk) 01:07, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete the corruption central to this person having a postion on the police department is worth more coverage, but lacks it. There are also connections between his Fruit of Islam organization and the Women's March and many of its leaders that are truly outrageous to many Jewish women, but he has not gotten actual coverage in that controversy, so it does not actually add to his notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - article is very negative in tone WP:BLPBALANCE and based on allegations WP:SUSPECT - even if the allegations are true, there doesn't seem to be anything to establish notability per WP:ANYBIO - Epinoia (talk) 16:37, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This page has hardly any sources, and truly seems like original research. Topic being discussed is subjective, yet point of views abound in the article, as it reads and seems like a do's and don'ts list. SuperWikiLover223 (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Violates WP:POV and does not belong in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a guide. AmericanAir88(talk) 21:01, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:OR. Pedestrian safety currently redirects to Road traffic safety, but could be a standalone article. However, I doubt that anything useful could be salvaged from this one. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:30, 12 September 2019 (UTC).
- Keep Per WP:BLUE, there's nothing original here. The topic is notable – see Instructing the Masses in How to Walk, for example. The page just needs improvement per our editing policy and this is not done by deletion – see WP:ATD, WP:BEFORE; WP:NOTCLEANUP; WP:PRESERVE; &c. Andrew D. (talk) 09:05, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

- comment There is surely a pertinent redirect?. As an article , this is wp:NUKE.TheLongTone (talk) 11:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete Appears to violate WP:OR as has already been stated. Wikipedia is not a guide, nor should it be used as a random collection of subjectively defined common-sense courtesies which are also reported in a way that violates WP:POV. The idea that this entry may be okay because of WP:BLUE fails to recognize that something as obvious as the sky being blue is not equivalent to a random list of do's and don'ts.Grapefruit17 (talk) 14:26, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Per above concerns of WP:OR, WP:POV and WP:NOTGUIDE. The title could potentially be a valid redirect, as suggested, but this article does not need to be retained in any form for that to occur. Rorshacma (talk) 16:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep and rename Distracted walking. Plenty of sources exist for this topic, especially with all the people texting while walking nowadays. Agree as per the above that the article should be covering a recognized phenomenon instead of reading like a how-to guide. StonyBrook (talk) 04:08, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - You are essentially arguing to create a completely different article, though. The current article is not about "Distracted Walking", and only one of the entries in it are even close to the topic. Creating an article, on that topic and with those sources, would basically require renaming the article and completely rewriting it on the new topic from the ground up. That would be no different than just creating a new article on that topic from scratch, which does not necessitate the keeping of the unsourced information from the present article. Rorshacma (talk) 05:42, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete This is not the place to recreate a listicle with OR descriptions. Reywas92Talk 08:25, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - the article needs a complete rewrite and probably fails several Wikipedia guidelines in its current form, but I suspect there is some notability in the topic - compare Trail ethics for example. Bookscale (talk) 10:46, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Potentially notable topic, but the article in its current state needs to be WP:NUKED. –dlthewave ☎ 02:10, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Looking through the Google news search results I find a lot of coverage about this. Do different reliable sources disagree on things, or are there some things that they all agree upon that could be put and referenced in the article? Dream Focus 00:22, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Taekwondo competitor who's claim to fame is being denied entry into the U.S. because of Donald Trump's travel ban. Although he has competed at the senior world championships, his highest world ranking ever apparently was 59th, which does not show notability. He is currently ranked 73rd. Clear case of WP:BLP1E and definitely fails the notability standards for martial artists at WP:MANOTE. Sandals1 (talk) 19:23, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Delete - it's a borderline case, but after researching this he isn't notable enough yet as a martial arts practitioner and does has reliable sources but fails WP:BLP1E Mujinga (talk) 22:16, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with the previous editors. I don't think he meets WP:MANOTE and I didn't see the coverage I believe is required to meet WP:GNG because I believe it's all about one event (which means WP:BLP1E applies). Papaursa (talk) 20:17, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

- Weak Delete The article is not just about a contestant, and so other notability criteria must be considered. With the sources provided, one is about the subject and a second has some coverage, the others are passing mentions of the subject.

- Keep. There are multiple hits in a google book search, unfortunately only in snippet view. A general search shows national news coverage and plenty else so he’s really not just like a guy who got a degree. Mccapra (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Does "multiple hits in a google book search" make one notable? Seen exactly that view dismissed in recent AfDs. Does not by itself indicate whether those hits were from passing mentions or from more in-depth paragraphs of coverage, no? Or whether those books were perhaps self published, or not independent? Hyperbolick (talk) 20:13, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Well take a look and see what you think. It’s not possible for me to say if they’re just passing mentions, but there’s quite a few of them. As the subject of the article is an Assamese writer it would be helpful to check for Assamese sources, which unfortunately I’m not able to do. Mccapra (talk) 21:14, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep passes WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR #4. Unlike what the nominator thinks, Sahitya Akademi Award is a major award for excellence in Indian language. Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters, annually confers on writers of the
most outstanding books of literary merit
. In the Assamese language category, the subject won the award for his literary works.[2] It is expected that people will be looking for his article. Hence I dont agree that this be deleted. --DBigXrayᗙ 07:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC) - (Article creator !vote)Keep - Sahitya Akademi Award is the highest award in India, for literary excellence, in a particular language. ∯WBGconverse 07:23, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Their name makes searching difficult, but I can find practically nothing on this band beyond routine social media and retail/streaming entries, and nothing non-trivial that qualifies for WP:NBAND. Also note that there was at least one other band of the same name in the 1960s.

Fails WP:V, no evidence to suggest this international sports tournament actually exists. According to the article, the tournament was to be announced in December 2018 but there has been no official announcement. The only information I can find online are blog posts of people speculating what a "CAF Nations League" could look like. BLAIXX 14:57, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - I'm going to have to say "delete" on this. Between the fact that the creator is a paid editor, to the fact that the artist's accomplishments are puffed up and promotional, for example photo festivals are not the same as important exhibitions. The article is poorly sourced, and what is there is unclear if it is significant coverage, as quite a few of the citations lead to press releases, listings, one-day shows, or 404. The Honors-and-awards are not notable, and the artist is not represented in any permanent museum collections. The subject of the article may take nice photos, but there is something questionable about a lot of the content here, which leads me to conclude that they do not meet WP:NARTIST nor WP:GNG requirements.

- Comment - Tong Le isn't currently at a team at the moment so an ongoing career might not be likely, Tong Lei yeah ok he might get some more game time in the top flight if his team make the top division in China again. HawkAussie (talk) 22:56, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - Aside from the recent NFOOTY pass, Tong Lei likely satisfies GNG: [3], [4], [5]. Major language barrier, which I don't think gets treated correctly at AfDs. How can we judge something the majority of us have absolutely no clue about? Not saying it warrants a straight keep, but it's something that should always be thoroughly checked. Latter part goes for Tong Le too. I also think AfD bundles are inappropriate, AfDs are rarely the same - just my opinion though. R96Skinner (talk) 01:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
- Not that this !vote will make a difference but keep Tong Lei who meets GNG with 66wz and kknews, delete Tong Le who doesn't meet GNG, the only coverage in Portuguese-language media I can find online is brief mentions in (primary source) game reports (and, of course, one NFOOTY appearance doesn't outweigh the lack of secondary sources–I wasn't going to leave that part out

I believe this is essentially a recreation of a previously deleted article located here. It was created only a week or two after its deletion, by the same author, and I don't think any meaningful improvements were made to the sourcing. It reads like a CV if anything. If you go to the creator's user page, it's the same as this article. So this seems to be a vanity page with no real notability. —Torchiest talkedits 12:52, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Neutral - Gupta's book contains enough content scattered around what their members said to qualify, in my opinion. The bay windows (also shows up elsewhere, like here) also has some non-quote content. Other sources are generally only mentions. I'm actually surprised it had this much.

- Weak Keep. There's relatively extensive coverage in Hawaii University Ethnic Studies and Women's Studies prof. Monisha Das Gupta's Unruly Immigrants: Rights, Activism, and Transnational South Asian Politics in the United States (Duke University Press, 2006, ISBN 978-0822338987). Beyond this, there's little more than listings in various help and orientation sites, plus this coverage in a blog. Barely touches the notability hurdle. -The Gnome (talk) 10:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - Per WP:NORG, we need "significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources" for this to be notable and while it has many trivial mentions, (including one naming it among the three most important Asian-American LGBT organizations[1]), it seems difficult to find any significant coverage in another source other than Unruly Immigrants. This article from Boston Spirit make several mentions of it and briefly discusses the organization's relation to Islam, but I'm not sure it can be considered "significant".[2]. However, the WP:NORG also mentions that "The word "multiple" is not a set number and depends on the type of organization or product. Editors should recognize certain biases" and that depending on their profile, some organizations "might establish notability with just one or two quality sources". Given the very specific area of interest of this organization (LGBT Asian immigrants in New England), I'm going to argue that this is one of those cases where Unruly Immigrants is enough to prove MASALA's notability.

- scope_creepTalk I apologize if the tone of the writing implied any sarcasm. I was truly sincere in my wanting to learn what I did wrong with the Joe Poletto page. I didn't know, but now do, that using an article with just a name mention is not substantial enough of a source.

- Procedural note. This article started as a redirect in 2005; I think I was probably cleaning up page-move vandalism. It was converted into an article (not by me) in 2013. Later that year it was proposed for deletion; which was summarily rejected by the author. The article had been misidentified as that of a living person and thus subject to BLPPROD. Probably shouldn't be considered a valid PROD under the circumstances. Mackensen (talk) 11:24, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- I can find no documentation of this person other than a name on a list of conventional delegates. This person seems not to be a docummented historical figure. Clearly, this is not an alternative name for George Washington, and that almost certainly was page move vandalism. Equally clearly, though, we don't need the administrator deletion tool in order to redirect to Washington Bottom Farm#George W. Washington, who came up several times when I looked for anything about the convention delegate. Uncle G (talk) 13:04, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- If the edit history pertains to a completely different person than the redirect is being repurposed to represent, then that's a solid and airtight reason for deleting the edit history first. But at any rate, it is not actually true that the onus is always on the "delete and then recreate a redirect" arguers to demonstrate a reason for removing the edit history; Wikipedia does not have an invariable rule that redirect-without-deletion is necessarily preferred over delete-and-then-recreate-a-redirect, but rather it's completely contextual to the situation at hand. In a case like this, where the edit history and the redirect target represent two completely different people who merely happened to have the same name, the onus is on the "redirect without deletion" arguers to demonstrate a reason why there would be any value in retaining the edit history.

It was ranked #16 best song on this album. That’s not noteworthy in the least. There’s a sentence that basically boils down to “The song is about feeling unfulfilled”. And some basic observations on the music video’s existence. I’m leaning towards redirecting unless there’s anything of substance to add here. The current info easily fits on the album article.

- Frederick C. Beiser discusses her works in three of xyr books, including a few facts here and there not in this article (including that Taubert's critics mistakenly used "er" for her, since her byline used the initial "A."). Manuel Pérez Cornejo mentions Taubert (on pages 8 and 15) in xyr introduction to the translation of Julius Bahnsen's Der Widerspruch im Wissen und Wesen der Welt. This is certainly not an unknown historical person, and she is known for her work, which is cited quite a lot. The thing about the name was still going strong a century later. Wolfgang Schömel's Apokalyptische Reiter sind in der Luft confidently declares her to be a pseudonym on page 196 in 1985, one sentence after calling her "Ehefrau". Uncle G (talk) 08:58, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep There are other sources as well as the three Beiser books, which do have quite a lot about her - Weltschmerz in particular discusses her on 5 pages, and he describes her as having "a fearsome intellect and will / fearsome polemical talent all her own", and talks about her views: "she admitted that disappointment among the masses was indeed one reason for pessimism. She disagreed with Volkert, however, that one should try to encourage optimism, to give the masses hope to change their situation ...".
- I find snippet views on Google Books of publications including:
- Die Gesellschaft, Volume 3, a reprint (from when?) appears to have a piece by Hartmann, as the visible text says "Im Jahre 1871 verheiratete ich mich mit Agnes Taubert, der Tochter eines alten Freundes von meinem Vater, des pensionierten Artillerie-Oberst Taubert. Unter der Chiffre A. T. oder unter dem Namen A. Taubert hat dieselbe sowohl vor wie ..." which suggests that she was writing before her marriage, as well as afterwards;
- 1912, Foundations of the History of Psychology: Founders of modern psychology [6], which on p 184 starts "Agnes Taubert, the daughter of an artillery colonel", and has more on p 207;
- 1918, this Dutch book, De Vrouw, de vrouwenbeweging en het vrouwenvraagstuk, Volume 2, has at least a paragraph about her (no more is visible in snippet view) [7], which says something like (per Google Translate, I don't know any Dutch): "Agnes Taubert, his first wife, after many internal struggles, had freed herself from her strict religious beliefs to become a fervent supporter of his philosophical beliefs. In those early years of fierce struggle, she supported her husband awake: she repeatedly repelled the attacks on von Hartmann".
- 1926-1950, at least, her work Der Pessimismus und seine Gegner is included in the Encyclopædia Britannica: A New Survey of Universal Knowledge entry on Pessimism [8], [9];

- 2002 Melancholiana: Verzeichnis einer Bibliothek has a very short entry on her [12];
- 2008 A Swedish source [13] mentions a book by Dahlkvist which has a chapter on Agnes Taubert (this may be Nietzsche and the philosophy of pessimism : a study of Nietzsche's relation to the pessimistic tradition : Schopenhauer, Hartmann, Leopardi, 2007?)
- Die Gesellschaft, Volume 3, a reprint (from when?) appears to have a piece by Hartmann, as the visible text says "Im Jahre 1871 verheiratete ich mich mit Agnes Taubert, der Tochter eines alten Freundes von meinem Vater, des pensionierten Artillerie-Oberst Taubert. Unter der Chiffre A. T. oder unter dem Namen A. Taubert hat dieselbe sowohl vor wie ..." which suggests that she was writing before her marriage, as well as afterwards;
- I have not yet included anything in the article except a quote from a review of one of Beiser's books, which describes Taubert as "one of the first women to have a prominent role in a public intellectual debate in Germany." I do think that, with access to a good library of philosophy and the history of philosophy, it would be possible to add quite a bit more - the chapter in the Dahlkvist book would probably be a good place to start. And I think even these snippets show that there is sustained coverage, more than trivial, and not just saying that she was someone's wife, but describing/explaining/discussing her views and works - enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC.

- Keep. I tend to be a bit on the deletionist side, but this AfD is ridiculous. I never heard of her before, but then I haven't heard of her husband either, because I am not interested in philosophy. In any case, anyone who wrote 2 books that are still available 150 years later in three academic libraries in a single city alone (Berlin) is very likely to be notable. (Between Berlin State Library and the various central and decentralised libraries of Humboldt University and of Free University of Berlin there are 4 copies of her 1872 book and 5 copies of her 1873 book. The 1872 book has also been digitized in Berlin. And it's not just Berlin. Munich (at the other cultural end of Germany) also has 2 copies of her second book. She also made it into a printed collection of historical short biographies from her state. (Wer war wer in Mecklenburg und Vorpommern - Who was who in Mecklenburg and Vorpommern; Mecklenburg and Vorpommern are two historical regions that now make up the north-eastern most state of Germany.) It also stands to reason that a woman writing two philosophical books in 1872/73 would automatically have been a celebrity at the time. Some people overdo it with the feminist rewriting of history, but this AfD looks like the opposite problem. – And just in case it still needs saying: Notability is not language or culture dependent. If someone is notable in the Basque country and all sources are in Basque, it's difficult to write a proper English article, but the person is still notable for the English Wikipedia. Hans Adler 18:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

Semi-advertorial WP:BLP of a person notable only for serving on a neighborhood council and being an as yet non-winning candidate in a future political party primary. Neither of these are notability claims that pass WP:NPOL, but the sourcing is not making a strong case that she's much more special than everybody else who's done the same things without getting into Wikipedia for it. The seemingly strongest source here, The New York Times, doesn't even mention the subject at all, but is here merely to tangentially verify a stray fact about the incumbent congressman she's primarying; four of the other eight are primary sources which are not support for notability at all (YouTube videos, the subject's own bylined writing, the subject's own campaign website, etc.), and the stuff that is media coverage about Maebe A. Girl is just routine campaign coverage in LA. And no, "first drag queen elected to public office in her state" is not a notable historic first in a state that's already had enough LGBTQ officeholders to fill a Pride parade: "first member of an underrepresented occupation to do a not otherwise notable thing" is not an "inherent" notability freebie that entitles a person to a Wikipedia article in the absence of much more substance and sourcing than this.

- No, they really don't. Those are sources that routinely cover almost any queer person in the United States who accomplishes anything at all — so while they would be perfectly fine for use if Maebe A. Girl had a much stronger notability claim than she does, they aren't enough coverage all by themselves to magically make a neighborhood councillor so much more nationally notable than most other neighborhood councillors — at best they just make her a WP:BLP1E, as there's no evidence of ongoing nationalized coverage being shown at all besides the 1E novelty factor of a drag queen winning an election to a non-notable office. GNG does take into account the context of what a person is getting coverage for, and serving on a neighborhood council is not an "inherently" noteworthy context for which just two sources would be enough. Bearcat (talk) 18:15, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I have found a few other sources, though they are mainly local. "Would you like a side of camp with that? Echo Park restaurant now serving dinner and a drag show", The Eastsider, Feb 9, 2017 [14], has her birth name, that she was on the regular staff of The Park Restaurant, and did a monthly dinnertime drag show there called Dress Hall, with another drag queen. They had been performing together in drag for a bit over 2 years, and Girl also performed at Exposure Drag, a weekly show at the Offbeat Bar in Highland Park. "The First Drag Queen Elected to Local Office Is Making a Run for Congress" on Route Fifty, August 21, 2019 [15], says she started performing in drag five years ago, and her work became more political after the 2016 election; she describes herself as transgender and genderfluid, is trying to establish a drag queen story hour and LGBTQ lecture series at the local library and sits on the council homelessness committee. "Pride in Our People: Profiles in Local LGBTQ Activism" in LA Weekly, May 30, 2019 [16], also gives her birth name, and says she is forming a council committee focused on LGBTQ-related issues. "The most amazing brunches in LA hotels, from Bloody Mary menus to pool parties" in the UK Telegraph, 28 June 2019 [17] says she hosts a Wigs & Waffles Drag Brunch on Saturdays at The Standard, Downtown. The Los Angeles Magazine source which is already in the article has more info too: she volunteered in Chicago as an overnight supervisor at the Lincoln Park community shelter. Searching on the birth name and Chicago also finds some passing, promotional or local Chicago coverage, of tours they ran (of pizza [18] and of architecture [19]), work as a hotel concierge [20], and running for mayor there in 2010 [21].
- I don't think that any of the sources are enough to meet WP:GNG yet, though. The Advocate article says "In a statement sent to The Advocate, she highlighted the ....", so that's pretty well based on a press release. The Out article says "Los Angeles-based drag performer Maebe A. Girl ... has been elected to the Silver Lake Neighborhood Council, The Advocate reports." So it's based on The Advocate, which is based on a press release. The Los Angeles Magazine article is better, The Eastsider is good, and the Q Voice News looks OK - but all are local. Route Fifty is national, "a digital news publication from Atlantic Media’s Government Executive Media Group" which "covers a variety of topics under the larger state, county and municipal government umbrella", and it was written by the assistant editor. But that's the only national coverage I'm aware of, and it's not a type of media I'm used to, so I'm not sure how to assess it. I think this may be WP:TOOSOON, but will consider it more before I !vote. RebeccaGreen (talk) 21:00, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- For one thing, she was not elected to a city council; she was elected to a neighborhood council, which is a level of office below the city council and not a level of office that passes WP:NPOL. For another, we don't keep articles about people based on assumptions about their potential to move up the ranks of importance in the future; we keep or delete articles based on what's already true today. If she does move up the ranks to hold a notable NPOL-passing office in the future, then that will be the appropriate time to start an article about her — but we don't keep articles about neighborhood councillors just because there's a possibility that they might win election to a more notable office in the future, because they also might not. If they do win election to a more notable office in the future, then great, once that's happened they get to have an article — but notability is based on what's already true today, not predictions about what might become true a year or five years or ten years from now.

- If Sports Illustrated were covering somebody in the context of winning the U.S. Open or being on a Stanley Cup championship team, then of course that coverage would speak to notability. But if it were covering somebody in the context of being on a little league team in Peoria IL, it would not. It's a question of the context of what the person is being covered for, and being elected to a neighborhood council is not a notable context. Bearcat (talk) 18:57, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

That said, I concur that this is a wobbler, but the tie goes to inclusions for me. Unrelated: Being ignorant about Danish names, I can only observe that some sources refer to him by the article name, and still others as Tobias Bech Kristensen, so a review by someone with a depth of familiarity with Danes/Danish football as to whether the article merits a move to the longer name would be wise, IMO. — ⚞ 🐈ℛogueScholar ₨Talk🗩 ⚟

- @RogueScholar: No worries. Just want to point out soccer has a large number of biographies (second most per capita behind gridiron) and it's very difficult to be kept if you don't technically pass the guideline, and we're also now going through and scrubbing articles which do pass the guideline, but where sources aren't immediately obviously found. Bach is very young and could pass the guideline relatively quickly, especially if he stays on the team if it were to be promoted again, but for now this is WP:TOOSOON, and the article is easily recreated if he does pass the guideline in the future. My only hesitation is that this is a better written stub than several recent articles I've accepted at AfC recently which are definitively notable. SportingFlyer T·C 05:29, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- @SportingFlyer: My reaction to hearing that soccer has so many biographies is genuinely "Awesome! I hope they have twice as many next year, provided they're factual!," though I have come to realize that mine is apparently a minority opinion here.
(I'll try to behave here and keep it topical, not political.)
I fully concur with you that what exists currently is a "notably" high-quality article when viewed among the cohort of Stub/Start-Class sports biographical articles. The information appears to be unflinchingly factual, and shows a commitment to quality on the part of the editors that I personally respect. And while I also greatly respect the time and energy it has undoubtedly taken you to have the level of experience to understand/reference all of the relevant content policies you've been kind enough to direct me to thus far, consensus does nothing to obviate their arbitrary nature, and in my heart it would be critically bad karma borne by all Wikipedians if the article were ultimately deleted. Considering it costs essentially nothing to let it remain (provided it's as factual as it appears after brief investigation) and the alternative is to lay waste to the incalculably valuable time (even if it's just measured in minutes) that others donated to breathe life into it, how can any of these policies ever accomplish anything good without some beneficent subjectivity on the part of those who apply them? I know that shouldn't technically come to bear on this discussion and so this will be my final comment regarding the matter, except to thank you for being so pleasant, informative and candid with me in this discourse. I honestly don't think I've ever had a WikiInteraction that involved three WP:YADAYADAALLCAPS links being included where I still hoped to have cause to interact with the other person(s) again someday, as I hope we do.

Minimally sourced biography of an eccentric political fringe candidate, not demonstrating that he has enough reliable source coverage to get over WP:GNG for it.

- Comment as article creator. I totally can't recall how I ended up at the original source (a blog website), but I was apparently editing the "List of people claimed to be immortal" article at the time, so it must have come up as part of that? Eh, 2008 was a different era on Wikipedia. Anyway, that source lists the book "Offbeat Kentuckians" as the source ([27]), but that doesn't appear to be a particularly high-quality source. The primary source articles seem to be legit enough to indicate that this article is not a hoax or a non-existent person, but I'll certainly grant that they are an exceedingly minor character, the equivalent of the TimeCube guy. I will say that "politician" is probably misleading disambiguation; while they apparently were a perennial candidate, their notability is specifically in being an eccentric / quack peddling biological immortality.

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a businessman and politician, not properly sourced as clearing our notability criteria for businesspeople or politicians. His notability claim as a politician is that he was an unsuccessful candidate in a congressional election, which is not a claim that passes WP:NPOL in and of itself -- and the sourcing for that comprises almost entirely routine local campaign coverage, much of which is deadlinked. As always, unelected candidates for office are not deemed to pass WP:GNG just because some local campaign coverage exists in their district's local media, because every candidate in every election can always show some of that: the notability test for a candidate requires evidence that his candidacy was much more special than most other people's candidacies, in some way that would satisfy the ten year test for enduring significance. But this is also not adequately demonstrating that he had preexisting notability that would have gotten him an article for other reasons besides the candidacy, as his business career is supported entirely by a giant reference bomb of primary sources rather than any real evidence that he was getting media coverage in that context before the candidacy happened. This is quite simply neither a well-written nor well-sourced article. Bearcat (talk) 02:58, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

- Candidates are not automatically more special than other candidates just because of which other person they happened to lose to. Regardless of who they did or didn't challenge, all candidates are still judged by the same standards as all other candidates — and those standards are based strictly on the depth of notability that the candidate themselves can or cannot show, not on the identity of their opponent. Janice Hahn does not have any uniquely Hahnian special ability to confer permanent encyclopedic notability on her election opponents, just because they were running against her — a person is not automatically more notable just because they were running against Janice Hahn than they would have been if they had run and lost in any other district in the country.

- delete Highly promotional with nothing to show any notability standard is met. Finishing 2599th (out of 2609) in a national triathlon doesn't show notability. Don't believe the GNG is met nor WP:NPROF or anything else.Sandals1 (talk) 14:58, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

WP:TOOSOON article about an as yet unreleased film, not yet reliably sourced as clearing the high bar needed to make a film notable this far in advance of release. Three of the four references here are primary sources (IMDb, corporate press releases) which are not support for notability at all -- and the only quasi-reliable source is Gizmodo, which is sort of okay, but not solid enough to get a film over WP:NFILM all by itself if it's the only not completely useless source you can show. No prejudice against recreation if and when release is imminent enough that better sources start showing up, but the sourcing shown here is not even close to good enough yet.

- Delete - at this stage there isn't significant coverage in reliable sources Mujinga (talk) 17:11, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Delete as not notable. Doing some research, it appears that the film's eclipse scene was covered in July-August 2019, but it has not truly been covered other than that. In other words, it does not reflect enduring notability, unlike other unreleased films that have a spread of coverage regarding its development and filming. No issue with recreation if the film gets coverage whenever it comes out. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 17:28, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

OK so she isn't Erin Andrews among other famous female reporters, but she has done quite a bit. She was a big star on the Golf Channel and has moved around Fox Sports covering Football (both college and pros) and Fox Sports though highly of her to have her sub on the Herd and Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. There's less content on other pages but they're safe and Holly's isn't. Dwightforrm ( talk ) 20:58, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

- Delete - no evidence of notability - two of the sources are interviews which are primary sources (WP:PSTS) - most of the rest are run of the mill coverage for a TV person, no indepth coverage or articles specifically about the subject - does not meed WP:ANYBIO or WP:BASIC as there is no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources - Epinoia (talk) 21:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Biography (with some advertorial overtones) of a businessperson, not properly sourced as clearing our notability standards for businesspeople: the references here are all primary sources, such as the self-published websites of his own companies and a YouTube video and a legacy.com obituary, with no evidence of media coverage being shown at all. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed -- the notability test is not the things the article says, it's the degree to which the things it says can or cannot be referenced to evidence that media devoted attention to him and his work, such as in newspaper or magazine journalism and/or books.

- KEEP-- I previously created the page and an IP tagged the page for speedy deletion, when AfD was still ongoing. I'll vote that it's kept and not deleted, since I've written it like an Encyclopedia and also, the article for sure passes WP:GNG and WP: NOTABILITY.NNADIGOODLUCK (Talk|Contribs) 13:32, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy delete I'm not sure that DGG was aware when nominating this that it was the exact same article deleted previously under another name and that the closer specifically instructed the creator to contest it at WP:DRV if they chose, not just recreate it under another name.
