- Hi, Celestina007, got a notification of you recommending that this article be deleted and it was a bit surprising for me, seeing that the person in this article is a notable Tech expert/speaker in Nigeria and has been featured on many credible media in the country and internationally. As a matter of fact, she was even listed as one of the top 30 persons in Africa by Forbes. I left some of these references on this article and I'm surprised by the nomination for it to be deleted. But I would like to know if there is anything I could do to make the article better. Cheers. Felixdgreat. —Preceding undated comment added 04:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Felixdgreat, she may be a tech speaker(whatever that means) be on the list of Forbes whatever but per gng we require in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject to establish notability. Celestina007 (talk) 04:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007, thanks for your prompt response, much appreciated. However, I think there are some credible independent sources cited... Forbes is a global body and hugely recognized for their listings and there's also the world bank verifying her and her business as legit. And of course, a few of the top media houses in the country wrote about her independently(I made sure to avoid interview links) to avoid something like this. I'm keen to get this to work as I think she deserves a page for the work she does in the Nigerian tech space, tell me what I can do to improve the article, maybe I can fix it. About the 'Tech speaker' thing, she is an expert in that field and gets invitations to speak at Tech events, I could add links/reference to events she spoke at if that helps. Cheers.Felixdgreat
- Delete a non-notable software developer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The article seem to be about someone notable enough, considering the number of highly placed local and international organisations that have recognised her works. Maybe a few more citations needed but it definitely does not deserve to be deleted. I've seen far less notable people in her field have their pages listed. We should find a way to improve this article, as opposed to deleting it entirely.Felixdgreat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:19, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Weak Keep. Refined NG and Urban Woman Mag combined with the minor coverage Oduwole has received for being on the Forbes 30Under30 list just pass GNG in my opinion. (note: The Forbes list itself doesn't contribute to GNG as being mentioned in a list is generally considered trivial coverage, but her being listed in the list has garnered some coverage that is non-trivial although not entirely significant.) Samsmachado (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - see the ensuing discussion between myself and Celestina for my rationale for changing my !vote. Samsmachado (talk) 03:34, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Samsmachado, The two sources look okay to you right? “Refined NG” & “Urban Woman Mag “ but they aren’t because they appear to be self published sources (self published sources are generally unreliable because they have no editorial oversight or reputation for fact checking) Furthermore being listed in a Forbes 30 under 30 doesn’t satisfy WP:GNG.Celestina007 (talk) 19:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007. Urban Woman Mag appears to have a standard amount of editorial oversight (see their submissions page here UWM Submissions Policy) so I don't entirely know where you're getting the idea that that source is self-published or unreliable. RefinedNG is sketchier as it doesn't have a page where they list staff or submissions policy but they do have an "editor's picks" section (scroll down to the bottom of the page and it's on the right side) so I (whether justifiedly or not) assumed they have an editor and are not a self-published blog. I agree that RefinedNG is dubious which is why I referenced the coverage about the Forbes list. I acknowledged that the Forbes list doesn't satisfy GNG. The point I was making was that the coverage about the Forbes list (that did not come from Forbes itself) in Pulse and PM News adds up to something (per WP:BASIC bullet point 1) that aids the other two sources in meeting GNG. Hope that clarifies. Samsmachado (talk) 02:45, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Samsmachado, it may be futile arguing policy with you or anyone else after they have made their !vote it’s only very few people who are humble enough to change a !vote after they discover they may be wrong but I’d explain to you all the same. Recently the PulseNg is not considered to be a reliable Nigerian source & even so the source Pulse literally just names her as one of the people on the Forbes 30 under 30 list it doesn’t discuss her at all & that’s the same thing as this other source you provided above; PM News it literally just mentions her in a list article & that’s all now read what WP:BASIC says if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. From that we understand, the other sources you provide in order to satisfy WP:BASIC must have a level of depth but the aforementioned sources have no depth none whatsoever as she is merely just named as making the forbes list along other Nigerians, Secondly if the sources are on trivial things eg “making the Forbes list” then it doesn’t satisfy WP:BASIC. If the sources discussing someone lacks in-depth then that’s fine we could combine multiple reliable sources to prove notability per WP:BASIC, but when we have a subject mentioned in sources with no depth none whatsoever (other than her name added to list) then it certainly doesn’t meet WP:BASIC. Celestina007 (talk) 03:24, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007. Not futile at all and honestly not even an argument because I think we're both being quite polite and respectful. You are very much correct about the other sources mentioned and, by making me look at RefinedNG in a more in-depth light, I have come to the conclusion that I'm not certain enough of its reliability to use it as the second of two sources required for the minimum GNG multiple sources. A pleasure to discuss with you! Thank you for your informed policy-based clarifications. I wish all AfDs could be discussions instead of being based on pride.

A very confusing one because subject of article is mentioned in a host of Nigeria reliable sources but although mentioned in reliable sources, a further observation & review of all those reliable sources discussing her are in interviews hence not independent of her hence doesn’t satisfy nor adhere to WP:GNG. Furthermore the remaining reliable sources discussing her all appear to be paid sponsored posts or mere announcements. Celestina007 (talk) 22:52, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

- WP:BIO WP:PEOPLE Hello Celestina007 Thanks for your observation. The article has been reviewed. However, most of those interviews appeared to have been conducted by individual journalists, most probably being paid as professionals by their media houses, and so, it is extreme to say they are not independent of her. The use of Aphrodisiac is a very controversial subject in Nigeria, and so it is natural for journalists to make news out of anyone who chooses to venture into it. I disagree that those were paid interviews. That would question the authenticity of the media authorities. Thus meaning that all sources pointed to them should be questioned --ContentBI (talk) 05:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ContentBI, any article nominated for deletion is automatically marked as reviewed. When almost all sources discussing her are Q and A interviews then it is most definitely not independent of her. See WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 03:58, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- WP:BIO WP:PEOPLE
- @Celestina007, saying 'almost all' clearly shows you haven't read through the references. Also, I can't recall interviews being categorized as dependent sources.
- @ContentBI, I don’t get where you are driving at, a Q & A interview is simply not independent of her. How difficult is that to process? And yes almost all sources used are interviews & the rest are press releases & promo sponsored posts. Also see undisclosed paid editing & WP:COI. Because off wiki evidence shows proof of undisclosed paid editing.Celestina007 (talk) 04:14, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 Wow! You're even suggesting that I have been paid to upload an article. This is grossly ridiculous! I would appreciate you demonstrating your 1st-class training by uploading my proof of payment. You could also compliment your great observations by having fun adding my signatures.
- @Celestina007 Are you suggesting that she practically sent questions to the media houses who interviewed her?! Common! that's ridiculous! The citations you're calling Q & A, were only used in stating her personal bio such as names and schools attended. The majority of references are NOT interviews, they are independent info and have been sourced from different media authorities, which satisfies WP:BASIC. Also, I don't think Wikipedia informs journalists and media houses about how to ensure they give independent reports. If interviews are their strategies, I don't see how it's a problem.
- @Celestina007 I am yet to fathom who sponsored the posts, and how you determined that the rest are press releases, all from her.
- @ContentBI, I honestly can’t be bothered to continue arguing a very tough topic such as 'sourcing' with an editor who has 'UPE' issues, can’t do basic stuff like WP:SIGN their comments & cannot WP:INDENT properly either. It’s really vapid. WP:BASIC only works when the sources are independent of the subject when the sources are riddled with interviews & sponsored posts. WP:BASIC ceases to apply. Really though, only trained eyes can see through the facade going on in the referencing of that article half are sources not independent of her(interviews) & the rest are sponsored posts(still not independent of her) It’s as simple as that!

- @Celestina007 I am yet to fathom who sponsored the posts, and how you determined that the rest are press releases, all from her.
- @Celestina007 Well, I can't see the simplicity in your vague claims. I sourced those references online, and I didn't see a link to any proof of influence from the subject to media houses. Wizardry wasn't part of my training.
- @Celestina007 I see that a major part of your training was to delete your comments after they clearly show personal sentiments right? Great job. Just make sure you don't forget adding my signatures, cause I've forgotten how it's done.
- @ContentBI, please what comment of mine have I deleted thus far? If you would cast Aspersions be polite enough to provide diffs. Celestina007 (talk) 05:37, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. All the sources that I could find seemed to be promotional/non-neutral PRs or interviews. Does not pass WP:BIO or WP:GNG. JavaHurricane 05:53, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep@JavaHurricane, If you found reference number 2 and still think the article is sourced from PRs, then you need to read WP:BIO and WP:GNG again. @JavaHurricane, Also please, I can understand nominating the article for deletion and stating that it needs external linking. What I don't get is why I'm been accused of being paid to upload an article. @Celestina007, I consider your accusation as Aspersions and request that you provide an evidence that I might have been paid, or else take out your claims on my article because right now, you're trampling on my reputation.
- @ContentBI always WP:SIGN your comments. Don’t bother @JavaHurricane, they understand policy. The sourcing of the article is our main focus here but if you want to talk about UPE, let’s start by the email you just sent me asking me to take a “chill pill” & not pursue the deletion of the article. You also may have unknowingly outed yourself with that e-mail, you may have unknowingly divulged that you operate more than one account. Anyway all that is asides the point. Furthermore if the subject of your article, requires a PR firm(you) to create an article for her on Wikipedia that is really indicative of how non notable she really is. Furthermore please always indent & sign for clarity sake. Celestina007 (talk) 06:43, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 No, you missed it! I sent you an email of which there is absolutely nothing to hide. I said 'take a chill pill', because I can't fathom your aggression towards the topic in question. I noticed the topic had been written initially by a different editor and you nominated it for deletion, on the grounds that it was not a notable figure. So after providing evidences that the topic is notable, and you come up with claims that they are PR, it's normal to think you have a personal bias towards the topic. I never said you should forego policies. I only said that they don't apply to trivial things like names and schools like I earlier stated here. And please, do not claim what I didn't say. I don't know the topic from Adam. I just found it necessary to upload because of the importance of the Aphrodisiac controversy in Nigeria. Period! If you feel good deleting it, do so without making it look like I have a personal attachment. Cause I don't. I'm only concerned about how personal biases affect sincere efforts. ThanksContentBI (talk) 07:01, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 2 Aspersions - you're now suggesting that I operate more than 1 account. Pro, please, now you're making me believe I am right suspecting that you have a personal bias. I don't need 2 accounts to spot a draft of a deleted article, please! That's very BASIC! ContentBI (talk) 07:09, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ContentBI, I don’t have any bias against nothing. Please stay on topic. The notability & sourcing here is the problem. Bring your best sources here to this AFD & i’d analyze them for you & explain how they do nothing for substantiating notability of the subject of our discussion. Thank you! If you aren’t bringing those sources let me know, because I won’t be replying any of your aspersions or personal attacks anymore. Celestina007 (talk) 07:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 There is nothing to analyze. If really you have no personal bias and you paid attention to the introduction, you would observe that the topic's notability is hinged on the controversy of Aphrodisiac in Nigeria, hence reference 2. That major fact shows that the rest of the sources were reactions to that controversy, putting the topic in focus. That's how a real analyst would perceive the article. About aspersions or personal attacks, the last I checked, I wasn't the person indicating that someone else was paid for an edit, and that He has more than 1 account. ContentBI (talk) 07:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
* Keep Moderator please note; I will refer you all to the article topic Uche Pedro. 95% of the citations were sourced from 'bellanaija', which is her owned media firm. Before you consider deleting on the grounds of claimed and unprovable 'sponsored PR', kindly justify how that topic was not based on PR. However, more importantly let me reiterate that there is absolutely no proof that Tobi Kukoyi is an article based on PR, considering the importance of the topic on Aphrodisiac in Nigeria and the many media buzz about it. It's simple. let's all use our preferred search engines. This is just an accusation from an editor who's bias cannot be ascertained either. Notwithstanding, I won't stand against policies, I'm only appealing to fairness. Thanks. ContentBI (talk) 07:47, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ContentBI, Dear PR firm you can’t !vote a keep more than once. Celestina007 (talk) 08:05, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007, Sorry pro! At least, I got you to comment again. Owning a PR firm or working for a reputable one is something I'll love. Thanks for the prophecy! ContentBI (talk) 08:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
@Modertor, please also note my second reference in Linda Ikeji. Majority of the citations done were based on owned media. How doesn't that qualify for 'sponsored PR' but as 'independent source' as my accuser has claimed?. I can go on and on... My point is, those are proven examples, while my article isn't. ContentBI (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ContentBI, The lady doth protest too much comes into play here folks, If it requires this much badgering of the AFD to prove someone is notable the inverse is invariably the case. Now back to sourcing, from what you said above, which reads “@Modertor, please also note my second reference in Linda Ikeji” you can’t use lindaikejiblog because it is a blog & per WP:RS blogs are not reliable & also using the Bella Naija source is pointless because it is a celebrity wedding gossip blog. So what other source do you have for us? You should realize that I have analyzed all sources before nominating this article & I came to the same conclusion as JavaHurricane. Celestina007 (talk) 09:25, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 Do you realize you're obviously proving your sentiments on this matter? You're talking about the blogs without questioning their relationships with the persons in topic. Who owns bellanaija? Who owns Linda Ikeji? Does it make policy-sense to you that they are considered 'independent sources' in articles about their CEOs?. Are you saying I should wait for whenever Tobi Kukoyi starts a blog I can cite before we know she is notable? Listen, it's my article and as an editor, I am concerned about my contribution being thrown into the wind because someone thinks it's a PR job. Can you just 'take a chill pill' and allow others react? I responded to javahurricane, and I don't see how you're His fingers. If the moderator finally thinks the article isn't suitable, that's fine! I just need a solid explanation in relation with my examples, not some poorly thought out claims. ContentBI (talk) 09:11, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @ContentBI, Once again you go off topic whenever you are asked to provide sources to this AFD that proves her notability. look! when or if you bring to this AFD, the sources that are independent of her & aren’t sponsored posts nor press release(s) nor blog sources. Do let me know because from what you have just said above you clearly do not understand policy. Celestina007 (talk) 10:28, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- @Celestina007 Ofcourse, you'd call them 'off-topic' because you have no defense on them. If independent articles from journalists, working in reputable newspapers, as cited are not enough to state the notability of the topic, then I have nothing to prove to you. Do with it as you please.

- @Celestina007 I think you really need to learn the ropes about how journalists work, especially in Nigeria. It'd help your sense of judgment. ContentBI (talk) 13:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 So, my friend, you've made me take out time to research more on the journalists whose articles I cited. I searched them up on LinkedIn, and I am more convinced that with their pedigree, there is almost no chance that those articles were sponsored. You may want to look up these names your self - Chuks Nwanne, Ige Rotimi and Gbenga Bada, just to ensure that you're not mistaken a crowded buzz based on coincidence for a paid PR. I don't see how a journalist with 12 years' experience would focus on projecting a non-notable figure for money. It doesn't add up. ContentBI (talk) 17:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Like I said earlier when you provide to this AFD non self published sources, non sponsored posts sources, non press release material & non-churnalism sources & the lot of those type of sources currently present in that article please do let me know. Celestina007 (talk) 23:15, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 Well, at this point, it is obvious you have just made up your mind to frustrate my efforts, if you can't do a simple check. The qualification of the references on that article as churnalism is absolutely based on your sentiments, and since you're the god of references, feel free to delete whenever you wish. I was just trying to add my little quota on a category I felt was hardly explored, but at this point, I'm done trying to make the blind see, + I don't give two monkies what happens with the article anymore.

- Comment: @ContentBI: Please read and understand WP:COIEDIT. It doesn't matter if you are paid to write an article or not, if you have a COI you should not edit an article. Plain and simple. Your ranting is not helping your case. I do not know what sources are considered reliable in Nigeria, but please keep your argument succinct. Give links to the articles you think satisfy WP:RS and leave it at that. Do not engage in arguments. Make your case and move on. - Harsh (talk) 04:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Harsh 2580 The thing is, I can't understand why everyone is trying to bully me into accepting there is a WP:COIEDIT issue. For crying out loud, THERE ISN'T! I AM NOT PAID!!!!. I really wish I am! It's exasperating, and that's why I am not making headway with @Celestina007. It's simple, If you can recognise the fact that in the article's introduction, it claims the topic is an authority on the controversy around aphrodisiac in Nigeria known as 'kayanmata'. It wouldn't be an issue accessing the following links from the article;
- https://thenigerian.news/why-women-have-taken-up-the-kayan-mata-aphrodisiac/
- https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/aug/14/men-said-we-were-immoral-aphrodisiacs-challenging-taboos-nigeria
- https://nnn.com.ng/kayan-mata-divergent-views-trail-trending-sale-of-aphrodisiacs/

- https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/391009-interview-why-kayanmata-isnt-fetish-traditional-sex-therapist-tobi-kukoyi.html
It wouldn't be difficult to understand the controversy in question and why journalists would rally around her.
But unfortunately, everyone is busy trying to insist that ContentBI was paid to write an article! Gush! I'm tired!!! ContentBI (talk) 07:31, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
Or is it difficult to understand because there is no article on 'kayanmata'? I can help the community with that, if it would aid comprehension ContentBI (talk) 07:39, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Source | Independent? | Reliable? | Significant coverage? | Count source toward GNG? |
---|---|---|---|---|
https://thenigerian.news/why-women-have-taken-up-the-kayan-mata-aphrodisiac/ | It doesn’t in any way discuss subject of our discussion rather it discusses a natural aphrodisiac | ✘ No | ||
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/aug/14/men-said-we-were-immoral-aphrodisiacs-challenging-taboos-nigeria | Again, doesn’t discuss subject of our discussion but rather discusses a natural aphrodisiac hence this source has nothing to do with our subject of discussion hence does nothing to substantiate her notability. | ✘ No | ||
https://nnn.com.ng/kayan-mata-divergent-views-trail-trending-sale-of-aphrodisiacs/ | Yet again this source discusses a natural aphrodisiac & not our subject. | ✘ No | ||
https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/should-you-be-using-kayan-mata-products/nfmpeh7 | Of recent pulseNG is no longer considered a reliable source. | Yet again this source doesn’t discuss subject of our discussion rather it discusses a natural aphrodisiac hence does nothing to substantiate her supposed notability. | ✘ No | |
https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2019/aug/14/men-said-we-were-immoral-aphrodisiacs-challenging-taboos-nigeria | As stated earlier the sources discusses a natural occurring aphrodisiac & not subject of our discussion hence doesn’t adhere to GNG | ✘ No | ||
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/naija-fashion/391009-interview-why-kayanmata-isnt-fetish-traditional-sex-therapist-tobi-kukoyi.html | This is an interview with subject hence the source is not independent of her | Generally considered a reliable source. | Half the questions are related to a natural aphrodisiac | ✘ No |
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}. |
Although a daunting task, I needed to create the table so our colleagues could see clearly what I was talking about. In summary the subject of our discussion fails to satisfy WP:BASIC or WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 11:50, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Celestina007 Great job! You're very hardworking! But this was absolutely unnecessary. I never claimed the article directly identifies her, I only insinuated that it established 'kayanmata' as a controversial topic, and thus, should justify why the reports done on 'Tobi Kukoyi' wouldn't be a paid PR. It is logical for journalist to snoop around anyone associated with controversial topics. That is all I have been trying to make you understand for the past 2 days! If the community thinks it's not enough, I rest my case. Go ahead and delete it. ContentBI (talk) 12:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - likely paid-for spam. I've revoked ContentBI's (the creator of this page) editing privileges for the spamming. MER-C 17:11, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete It doesn't seem like a spam article to me and I'm usually pretty bullish about being against spam. Ultimately, I'm going with delete because the sourcing just isn't there to make the subject notable. Which can be seen in all the discussions about sources and the table created by Celestina007. Which I'm guessing was a pain to do but makes a difference. --Adamant1 (talk) 18:32, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Semi-procedural nomination. An article about this person was deleted twice before (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Jahns and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeremy Jahns (2nd nomination), but I just declined a G4 because the deleted versions of the page were considerably different—notably, virtually all claims were sourced to the subject's YouTube channel itself. This version also includes assertions of notability (impressive-sounding subscriber and view numbers) that were not present in the deleted versions. Having said that, I still have grave doubts that notability is made out, and so I didn't want to just decline the speedy and leave it at that. If the article is kept, it should probably be moved to Jeremy Jahns. Steve Smith (talk) 22:29, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:CREATIVE. Not every YouTube person with over 1,000,000 subscribers needs a page. KidAd (talk) 23:00, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Kept: the article does have notable sources from CNBC and CBR thus giving him notability from respected outlets. He’s also had a show on go90, which was a streaming service that also had shows from people such as Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, LeBron James, and among others. In addition, he’s also an approved critic on Rotten Tomatoes. The page should be kept given he has done work outside of YouTube.Vinny Weasel (talk) 23:33, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Most of the sources seem to not be reliable and how many subscribers on YouTube he has isn't really relevant to notability. Also, neither is him being a critic on Rotten Tomatoes or having a show on defunct streaming service that shows by celebrities. Since notability isn't by association. There is the CBR article which is mentioned above, but it only briefly mentions him to say he doesn't like the Star Wars movie. So, it's not in-depth enough to qualify for notability. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Marking this article for deletion. The term is a derogatory one, and as the article calls out at some point seems to be directly leading to objectification of women. Recommendation is that content of relevance be merged into Music of Bollywood and this page be deleted. — posted by User:Kaisertalk, unsigned 5 July 2020
- Keep: completely bunk rationale. It's notable term that has a Wikipedia entry, just like many other similarly derogatory things like casting couch. The article also details criticism of the practice in it's own section. Deleting a Wikipedia article won't make sexism go away. Also, the nomination seems to be incorrectly formatted.

- Delete/Merge - I was the one who started this effort. But, I may have done something wrong procedurally (as one of the commenters above notes). Happy to remediate that, if someone can help me with that process. Thanks in advance.
- Now, back to the topic at hand. My request is not to 'censor' any information that exists out there.
- Is this an extremely sexist term that is offensive at multiple levels? Yes.
- Should it be removed from an encyclopedia because it is a sexist term - No.
- Now, is this term a formalized one? No. It has come into colloquial speak, and is seeking formalization based on the widespread usage. My two cents is that a high level wikipedia article will only give it more legitimacy.
- Is there a way to drive focus to this practice without labeling as a top level topic / article name? Yes. That can be achieved by merging this topic into an existing page, and clearly introducing a subset of the content from this page onto there.
- Kaisertalk (talk) 19:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Bollywood: A Guidebook to Popular Hindi Cinema, which is cited in the article, describes the practice and says, "These sequences, referred to as "item" numbers, add to a film's "repeat value"." The book was published in 2004 by Routledge (New York). So it doesn't look to me like this is a new term, or one that's been hyped by unreliable sources. It looks like that's what they're called, or at least what they were called in the past. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comment @Toughpigs:. I think justifying its presence in mediums that are beyond our control is not an option. So, I really don't have a justification for why the book only references "item" songs as boosting the film's "repeat value". The origin of the term item song comes from the colloquial term "item" used in Mumbai and parts of India, to sexually suggestively refer to a woman. I am not able to think of a closest English word / phrase that is equally suggestive and demeaning to a woman. Now, the presence of such a song in the movies has been colloquially referenced as "item number" i.e. a number which has an "item" in it. Now, this is the path towards legitimacy. The question is do we want to yield that legitimacy or not. One way would be to reference the song back to what it really is - i.e. a type of song / video that is quite popular in Bollywood movies. That said if the overwhelming view is that we should have this as a title article. I guess I am in the minority, and will yield to you folks and your judgement.

- Bollywood: A Guidebook to Popular Hindi Cinema, which is cited in the article, describes the practice and says, "These sequences, referred to as "item" numbers, add to a film's "repeat value"." The book was published in 2004 by Routledge (New York). So it doesn't look to me like this is a new term, or one that's been hyped by unreliable sources. It looks like that's what they're called, or at least what they were called in the past. — Toughpigs (talk) 21:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Some additional reading material to understand what "item" in the item number refers to. Link here. Kaisertalk (talk) 23:31, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Kaisertalk, I do understand the point that you're making. The term is demeaning to women, and the presence of these sequences in Bollywood movies promotes the idea that it's okay to treat women as objects ("items") that exist to satisfy the sexual needs of men. The term should be challenged and criticized. I think what people are saying in this discussion is essentially that having its own Wikipedia page offers the opportunity to present the history and the critique of the term. I read the Tempest article that you linked to just above, and I actually just added a quote from that post to the WP article a few hours ago. :) The existence of a Wikipedia article doesn't mean that we like or approve of the subject. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Toughpigs, I agree with most of what you are saying. If I were to deconstruct the point at hand there are two topics. Songs in Bollywood movies that depict women as objects (and extremely sexual at that), and the second one being giving legitimacy to the term "item number" to refer to the former. Like it or not, I definitely (and perhaps many folks on this discussion thread) will not be able to change the former. The point is about using an extremely demeaning term to grant legitimacy to the practice. I am trying to make a case that having a titled article will do just that - i.e. grant legitimacy to this demeaning term. Can we convey that Bollywood has songs that are extremely sexually suggestive and demeaning to women without having a titled article. My premise is yes, we can do that by having most of this content folded into an existing article e.g. Music of Bollywood.
- @Toughpigs: At the heart of it, what is granting legitimacy - when a trusted voice that you go to when in doubt about an expression, phrase, has that as the title -- that is granting legitimacy. If you are playing scrabble, you look up a word in the dictionary, that is legitimacy. When someone hears the phrase "item number" and goes to find it as a title of a Wikipedia article that is legitimacy. Given the influence that we can, we should be responsible about the way in which we choose our article / page titles.
- @Toughpigs: Another thought. Why not change the article to "Sexualized Portrayal of Women in Bollywood Songs" and introduce in the preamble that these songs are demeaningly referred to as Item numbers.Kaisertalk (talk) 00:06, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
- I don't see how having an article on some subject "legitimises" the subject? If you're talking about the term itself, then it's already legitimised through it's very widespread use; not having a Wikipedia article won't change it. Does the article "casting couch" legitimises the practice or the term? Should it be moved to something like "Sexual exploitation of women in the film industry"? I don't think so. Terms usually only get a Wikipedia article after they've already achieved widespread uses and some amount of legitimacy. The sources used in the article are older than the Wikipedia article itself. Times of India, considered a newspaper of record, used the term in 2010. Wikipedia is influential, but not that influential that deleting an article will cause a word to lose widespread uses. Wikipedia shouldn't be used to right great wrongs anyway. Regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 05:10, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

a three-year old attending a reception is "noteworthy" and that traveling to France and to Claude Monet's Water Lilies is an event worth noting in an encyclopedia. No, this person is not noteworthy because she has not received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. She also fails every single notability criterion for artists. Vexations (talk) 19:31, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Patricia Ford Crass has made many contributions to the art world in her paintings and the techniques she used. She is a good example of how a woman can become a successful painter and established a career in a male-oriented world in the 1950’s. She most notable in the California Bay Area art world where she has showed her paintings and won awards.
- South Pacific Shield masks for a custom party does not sound raciest as they can be found in any Google search. Patricia attended an event in 2003 in honor of Jo Mora, a famous artist. She was not 3 years old at this event. The statue was created when she was 3 years old and represents an example of Mora’s work. Her travels are examples of her interest in French immersionists and provides inspiration for other artists that would like to travel to see them.--Greg Henderson 20:10, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

There is no cohesive theory or account of weaponization of finance (WoF) as such. All mentions of it are rather rhetorical flourishes used in discussion of economic sanctions, which the current WoF article details at length (even after having most of its specific context transferred to Economic sanctions).

Things get tricky because the phrase "weaponization of finance" itself is not novel, and has been used before. But I believe such mentions of WoF ultimately are just about what falls under the traditional scope of economic sanctions (or criticisms of US monetary hegemony, inter alia) rather than "weaponization of finance" as a theoretical concept per se, and thus do not meet a threshold for an independent article:
- Fouskas & Gökay (2018), "Placing the USA–Turkey Standoff in Context: The USA and the Weaponization of Global Finance", Journal of Global Faultlines. I was unable to access this article through Wikipedia Library, so I am unsure of its exact contents, but the first page suggests it is about the US tariffs imposed on Turkish aluminum and steel–a form of sanctions.
- Farrell & Newman (Dec. 2019), "America weaponized the global financial system. Now other countries are fighting back.", Washington Post. The article relies in part on arguments made by the European Council of Foreign Relations, which describes the "weaponization" as a form of "secondary sanctions."
- Maharrey (2018), "SWIFT and the Weaponization of the U.S. Dollar", Foundation for Economic Education.
- The only citation of Bremmer and WoF I found in academic work is in passing in the first page of Lin (2016), "Financial Weapons of War", Minnesota L. Rev.
In short: this article fails WP:GNG because weaponization of finance is, at best, another way to refer to economic sanctions. WhinyTheYounger (talk) 20:19, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

is fatuousshows a poor grasp of history (3) practiced only by the U.S. (4) limited to action between nations (in one section) or aimed at cybercriminals (in another section), and on and on.

Collection of reviews but no proof of notability or serious info about the album. Fails WP:GNG The Banner talk 17:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- (1) This is a strong keep and the nomination is based on false reasons. The reviews are an indicator of notability, and I have no clue what you mean by "serious info." (2) OK. Banner, are you still upset about the Gordon Ramsay image? Are you seriously tracking whatever articles I create or edit because I triggered you about the picture? If so, that's unprofessional. and doing disruptive behavior to force a message or point on me is only making my life and the lives of other editors a living hell. Kind of odd how you're nominating this only hours after our talk page discussion. HumanxAnthro (talk) 19:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- It would be nice when you talk about the content in stead of me. Attacking the nominator is not making your case stronger. The Banner talk 19:26, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- (1) I talked about the content in the first two sentences of my paragraph. (2) The rationale is blatantly false if you look at the article you nominateed (a "collection of reviews," professional ones that is, is coverage; that should debunk the nomination right there), and you're doing this only hours after our image debacle. If your behavior relates to the decision of this nomination, then it's a problem; that's not me making a WP:Personal attack, that's me calling out your WP:UNCIVIL debating tactics. HumanxAnthro (talk) 19:34, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

- Banner, with all due respect, if you dismiss my arguments as "whining" in your edit summaries and give a false rational for deleting an article I created only a short time after our image discussion, that's pretty much a sign you're coming after me.

- Keep, a "collection of reviews" is exactly the type of sourcing that satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC for albums. If a band gets interviewed by Billboard because of the release of this album[5], then you have a pretty string indication that this is a notable record. A review on Allmusic[6] and 6 other reviews in notable publications are also included in the article, and not included yet are things like Mixmag discussing remixes for the album[7]. I have no idea if the reason for this nomination is as claimed by the article creator, but it sure looks like a very poor nomination, not matching the actual article at all. Fram (talk) 09:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- The reasoning is that there are two prior speedy-nominations and that the article hardly says anything about the album itself. To be exact: two sentences. No evidence that it hit the charts, no evidence that is certified gold anywhere, no evidence of awards, no evidence that it got significant airtime on tv or radio. Nothing. But yes, there is a mention on Billboard that the album is ready for pre-order now. The Banner talk 09:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- None of the things you mention are required for notability (in general or of albums). Many genres get little or no airplay and won't chart, but have a relatively large and widespread following anyway, and get plenty of attention in the specialized press (not "specialized" as in some fanzine, these are reliable publications with relatively large circulations or readership). Have you actually looked at the Billboard link? It is not "a mention that it is ready for preorder now", that is the introduction of an interview starting with "Billboard caught up with White in Barcelona to discuss the duo's creative process on their sophomore album, and what inspired the conceptual departure from their beloved debut. Billboard: Where did you write and record Natural Selection? " Please don't dismiss sources which don't fit your narrative in such an unfair way. Fram (talk) 10:26, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- You call it unfair, I call it advertising. The Banner talk 11:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- So a review of a movie or an interview with the director, which states "film X, out in cinemas next week", is "advertising" and doesn't count towards notability? Right... Fram (talk) 12:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- OK, so Banner's in this for real. I don't know if you know this, but... every source is "advertising" any notable topic, from the big Lady Gaga and Ariana Grandes to the Death Grips acts. Every publication ever publishes their pieces (interviews, positive reviews, "analytical esasys," etc.) cause they're paid to do so to promote not just other musicians but also artists, activists, filmmakers, some spoiled rich kid born into an elite family vlogging on social media, or get into a trendy or controversial topic, you name it... They still cover the topic because a lot or a fair amount of their target audiences are interested in them, cause their revenue and profit under capitalism depends on high reader count.... that's kind of how topics get their notability, all those publications profiting off exposing thosee topics and acts.

This article's creator appears to probably be an undisclosed paid editor. Therefore, I normally might have presumed that the subject was non-notable, and argued to delete per WP:N and/or WP:NOTPROMOTION. However, in this case, the article does state that the subject has won the German Order of Merit.
WP:ANYBIO says that, if someone has "received a well-known and significant award or honor", they're probably (but not definitely) notable. Is the German Order of Merit a "well-known and significant award or honor"? I live in Canada, and I don't think I'd ever heard of it before reading this article.
For now, I'm not sure about this article, so I'll vote to draftify. Please delete. —Unforgettableid (talk) 23:13, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. I looked through the sources, and you're definitely right that most come from some syndicated feed that sounds like it's basically just repeating a press release. At least one other source in the article is from 2017, and covers something different, her joining of the cast for another show. Also, I found this article from the Times of India within the last 24 hours about her as well.

Your answer will be highly appreciate in order to better source it if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yves Damien (talk • contribs)
- @Yves Damien: Exactly my point, because there are only industry sources, there is no indication of notablity because industry sources are primary sources. Therefore, because this article contains none to few secondary sources (which are reliable and that don't just give a trivial mention) its notablity is not demonstrated. See WP:GNG.

- Keep - The nominator and "Delete" voter above seem not to have searched for sources very carefully. The "Speedy Keep" voter misused that term (see WP:CSK) but made a compelling argument on how the musician has received coverage in some reliable media sources in India. The article is still too dependent on links to Youtube and similar stuff, but there is at least enough for a basic stub article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 01:58, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

Non-notable footballer. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:29, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Hungarian footballer. It baffles my mind how this "article" managed to stay here since 2012. The article only contains one source, which is not even independent from him. The Hungarian Wiki article also managed to stay there since 2012 but it's also up to deletion there as well. The thing is, Hungarian Wikipedia is full of articles on sportspeople like this one (articles that contain only one basic sentence, an infobox and one source which is either a database or a non-independent site) and that is a big problem there. I don't know about that situation here but I know for a fact that this footballer is not notable. I also did a Google search and I did not found anything besides databases and sources which are not independent. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:27, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

t • c 14:20, 5 July 2020 (UTC)- Delete. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so people are not exempted from having to clear our notability and sourceability standards just because they have famous children — but nothing here constitutes a strong claim that he would pass our notability standards in his own right, and even the sources are fundamentally about his son rather than him. What little content we require (or can reliably source) about Cameron can be contained entirely in Michael McIntyre's article without needing a standalone biography of him as an independent topic.

- The first source is discussing the history of police anti-terrorist units is it not? Just because it hasn't used the full title much (which is relatively recent) doesn't stop it being about the subject. The second source is from a regional police department, not the anti-terrorist unit itself (ie, not written by the subject), but I accept it is not independent. SpinningSpark 11:10, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. There are perhaps a few unsourced statements which may raise objections, like "Serious players of both types of cue sports generally prefer fast cloth", but overall, this article does seem to be rather well-sourced for what it is. Actually, to be honest, when it comes to these kinds of niche articles, I really just don't mind that kind of thing. If this kind of article is completely sterilized of all statements like that, or even deleted (which, my goodness, I think is an extreme step to take), the project would become impoverished for it. BirdValiant (talk) 13:37, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, per discussion. Well sourced and notable page. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:12, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per all of the above. Even the few unsourced statements can be sourced (they're not controversial, anyway, I would think, so they satisfy WP:V's expectation that material be verifiable not necessarily verified yet, absent a likelihood of editorial dispute or reader skepticism). A couple of years ago, I could have just fixed those myself, when I had almost every cue-sports-related book in print (and many no longer in print) in my library of 5,000+ books. But I had to downsize when moving into a small apartment instead of a big converted warehouse space. If anything has crept in that appears to be PoV or OR (especially personal analysis/evaluation/synthesis), just remove that part. While we do not have a lot of comparison articles like this, Comparison of cue sports is of particular value, because the games/disciplines are all closely related but have widely divergent rules, terminology, etc. Many if not most of our readers will be very familiar with one variant or another but not the rest of them, and will be apt to make incorrect assumptions about similar-looking games. So, we have to cover these differences somewhere. To distinguish them in full detail at multiple articles would be extremely repetitive, and likely to lead to content-forking (e.g. an article on pool not listing the same differences from snooker as were listed from pool at a snooker article, and so on). I think Fuhghettaboutit wrote most of it, specifically because of the need to put the bulk of this compare/contrast information in a central place. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 03:47, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- @GiantSnowman:, @Spiderone:, @Govvy:, @Jay eyem:, @KingSkyLord: This is the most clear "compare and contrast" argument between the NASL and MLS that I found thus far: Follow the money to see if U.S. pro soccer leagues remain viable
BornonJune8 (talk) 3:06, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Some of the similarities between MLS and the 1968-1984 version of the North American Soccer League (think Pelé and the Cosmos) are hard to ignore. The NASL grew quickly through expansion, even as its established teams struggled; several MLS sides have fallen behind, as the league adds new teams virtually every season. Enthusiasm for a few of the NASL’s teams was counterbalanced by apathy among others. Likewise, several MLS sides draw enormous crowds while others, irrespective of the product on the field, struggle to draw fans. The similarities are even more striking on the women’s side, which saw two leagues close shop in less than a decade. Both the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA, 2001-03) and Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS, 2009-11) began with optimistic visions of being the best women’s league in the world. Both leagues had trouble attracting sponsors, fans and committed ownership. Both had to close down when the money ran out. Even though the NWSL has lasted into a sixth year and is thriving in several cities, the league last offseason lost two franchises that were unwilling to continue losing money. The biggest difference on the MLS side is the money at stake. NASL teams flitted around the map, folding at the drop of a hat, because their owners had invested so little that folding or moving a team made perfect financial sense. The Minnesota Kicks’ second, less-involved owner famously folded the team over the phone. Today’s MLS owners have franchises worth hundreds of millions of dollars and most have soccer-specific stadiums to host the teams — investments too large to let fail. The NWSL, though, is more concerning. Costs are more controlled than the WUSA or WPS, which is a positive. The league also has five teams that share ownership with MLS teams, plus the United States and Canadian soccer federations paying salaries for their national-team players. Those are helpful backstops to prevent a sudden end to the league.

BornonJune8 (talk) 10:17, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Please do not ping me, I am already watching the page. I am not convinced that this needs its own page; I think much of the relevant comparisons could be merged into History of soccer in the United States or something. But that isn't even the real issue here in my opinion; the article is basically unreadable, primarily due to the way it is structured. Why on Earth is all of the prose in these boxes? And why is there a side by side comparison? A brief reading of the actual prose in the box just describes what happened in each league in its respective year of existence rather than making an actual comparison. That hardly merits a "comparison". Really the only part of the article that is readable for me is the box comparing the cities in each league, and that certainly wouldn't merit its own article. I think that what useful comparison there is should be merged into another article and the rest of it, if needed, should be nuked and started again. Jay eyem (talk) 14:32, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- Comment. She has plenty of RS regarding her entry into Indian politics (which was when the vandalism started on this article): India Today, India Today, Times of India, The Indian Express. There are lots more pieces. She also has other general WP:SIGCOV pieces on her career, such as: Hindustan Times, Indian Express. However, there is simply a huge volume of RS on her in the general Indian media on her day-to-day actions, such as: Times of India, Times of India, which in itself would be a pass of WP:BASIC. Britishfinance (talk) 18:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Comment It doesn’t matter if she went into politics she is not known for anything. All those news was when she was a part of Bigg Boss and plus doing small roles in shows doesn’t make her a celebrity or star. Look at Mahira Sharma and Priyank Sharma they are not notable either. So stop trying keep this article when she is not notable. Why you think if she takes up politics she is a celebrity no it does not work like that. Anyways people have already said delete ‘Arshi Khan fan’. She is not a star just be prepared as it is going to end and will be deleted by any cost. Still these of her donating or wishing a reality tv star death doesn’t make her a celebrity please stop trying to justify when I have already told you that she is not known for nothing but her participation in Bigg Boss.

The bulk of the article (demographics section) is identical to that of the "Awdal" page. Moreover, contains poor citations throughout. For example, 1) Citation 1 makes no reference to "Awdalland" and it being a "former region". 2) No citation for the claim that "Awdalland (also spelled Adelland) takes its name from the Adel Sultanate". 3) Citation 4 is unreliable as it links to a Somali news tabloid website. 4)Citation 5 links to a Japanese website irrelevant to the article. 5) Though some sources touch on Awdalland, a Google Books search returns very limited results for "Awdalland" [8], thus may not qualify for notability in the sense of gaining "sufficiently significant attention by the world". Therefore, this article should be deleted due to lack of relevance and unreliable citations. Jacob300 (talk) 11:11, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Comment: Citation 5, for some reason, points to an archive.org snapshot that took place after the website had changed its content (apparently taken over as an advertisement and/or holding space). An earlier version of the cited source appears here. That said, it's a blog post that probably runs afoul of WP:SPS. But as long as I'm here I'd suggest redirect to Awdal, as opposed to "merge and redirect": I wouldn't suggest merging problematic content elsewhere, and anyway both the separatist movement and the opposition to it are already mentioned there. I did notice that the article's creator was blocked via WP:CU but no mention of the other account(s) with whom they're affiliated. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:23, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

I don't see how this article is really that helpful, I see a clear breach of WP:OR, the excessively long title, I can't see anyone typing that in to google! Encyclopaedias are suppose to be about an item, biography, entities, not "comparisons". This feels at odds with what the project stands for. Govvy (talk) 10:29, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Govvy: If an online encyclopedia like this shouldn't be about "comparisons" (which in on itself, is merely a subjective observation to make), then why exactly is there an entire category devoted to comparisons in the realm of sports. The fact of the matter is, that in the United States, there have thus far been three professional women's soccer leagues, that are recognized at the top of the United States league system: The WUSA, WSP, and currently, NWSL. So it isn't like I just randomly threw these separate leagues together for a comparison if they otherwise have little else in common. BornonJune8 (talk) 10:41, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- OMG, apart from the Chess article, every other article should go, no sourcing in some, others are just plain OR and a couple of those articles are not really comparisons, it's just a collection of unsourced statistics. Govvy (talk) 11:24, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

- @Govvy: Again, you come across sounding subjective. Are you saying that there shouldn't be a comparison of sports category at all? I have nothing to do with those other "comparisons in sports" articles, so you have to be more specific regarding which articles (besides the ones that I may have had a hand in creating), have to go. And I don't understand why you say that you can't compare statistics. Let's say in baseball, I'm comparing and contrasting home many collective home runs one team hit during an entire season against another team? Sports are by design, about comparisons. In the Olympics for example, statistical comparisons like how fast an athlete runs or swims or skis is done all the time. BornonJune8 (talk) 2:42, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

BornonJune8 (talk) 3:04, 6 July 2020 (UTC)Some of the similarities between MLS and the 1968-1984 version of the North American Soccer League (think Pelé and the Cosmos) are hard to ignore. The NASL grew quickly through expansion, even as its established teams struggled; several MLS sides have fallen behind, as the league adds new teams virtually every season. Enthusiasm for a few of the NASL’s teams was counterbalanced by apathy among others. Likewise, several MLS sides draw enormous crowds while others, irrespective of the product on the field, struggle to draw fans. The similarities are even more striking on the women’s side, which saw two leagues close shop in less than a decade. Both the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA, 2001-03) and Women’s Professional Soccer (WPS, 2009-11) began with optimistic visions of being the best women’s league in the world. Both leagues had trouble attracting sponsors, fans and committed ownership. Both had to close down when the money ran out. Even though the NWSL has lasted into a sixth year and is thriving in several cities, the league last offseason lost two franchises that were unwilling to continue losing money. The biggest difference on the MLS side is the money at stake. NASL teams flitted around the map, folding at the drop of a hat, because their owners had invested so little that folding or moving a team made perfect financial sense. The Minnesota Kicks’ second, less-involved owner famously folded the team over the phone. Today’s MLS owners have franchises worth hundreds of millions of dollars and most have soccer-specific stadiums to host the teams — investments too large to let fail. The NWSL, though, is more concerning. Costs are more controlled than the WUSA or WPS, which is a positive. The league also has five teams that share ownership with MLS teams, plus the United States and Canadian soccer federations paying salaries for their national-team players. Those are helpful backstops to prevent a sudden end to the league.
- Please thread your comments, it helps keep the talk page legible. And there are still a lot of issues with the article. The title is awful, the lead is way too long, the prose are in these boxes which are entirely unnecessary, and most of the prose isn't even a comparison; it's just side by side discussions of their history. All of that is better suited in their respective articles. If there is information that really merits inclusion on Wikipedia, it is probably better served in an article like History of soccer in the United States. The format for this article alone makes it unreadable and it should be nuked. Jay eyem (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

- Comment WP:NSINGER does not appear to be met (except, perhaps, point 1 which trends along a clarification of GNG). Whether WP:GNG is would depend on how reliable these sources are. I'm not too familiar on them myself. I'll probably look into the sources and update this comment. I think some input from the WikiProject might also be of help. From a look at the sources currently, I'd trend towards WP:TOOSOON at this stage. Input from the WikiProject may be of value. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:14, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete: Fails WP:NSINGER. It is likely too soon per above. The sources towards notability just do not meet the criteria, especially for a BLP. With that in mind, and since Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, there would be no objection to recreation when better sources are available. WP:NEXIST is used a lot as a reason to keep but it also includes
However, once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface.

Pure WP:LISTCRUFT.

- Keep -- I agree that it's borderline and especially difficult to search for -- "scoop" is not a useful search term for news articles about much of anything, unfortunately, and given that it is associated with the BBC we're losing a whole range of potential independent sources. Google searches make it pretty clear that it's well known enough a quantity, though I fully acknowledge this isn't necessarily helpful in determining notability. However, it's a nationally broadcast show that lasted several years on the largest national broadcast network. This seems like the type of thing that WP:NTV is made for. It can at least be verified independently by [9], and has passing mentions in various articles about the participants. matt91486 (talk) 06:07, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

I am nominating Rubble's page, and several other similar pages, for deletion for the same reason as my previous AFD nomination: holding the title of "oldest living cat" (or oldest living dog) for a year or two is not enough to pass WP:BIO and is a textbook example of a case of WP:1E where the one event isn't even particularly notable outside of the Guinness Book of World Records.
