Much like was the case prior to the first AfD, this article asserts no notability. A BEFORE finds your typical run of the mill coverage about incidents involving GPD, but no reliable in depth coverage of it to meet GNG. Police departments are not inherently notable. Would not mind a merge to the city, but as this has been at AfD before I thought it merited discussion. Star Mississippi 23:03, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - fails GNG. Moser was indeed a luthier, as confirmed by several classified advertisements found in newspapers.com. He was a luthier of some reputation, as confirmed by [1] and [2]. I would not consider either of these to be significant coverage. Since this is the entirety of what I was able to find on the topic, I don't believe the topic meets our General Notability Guideline, or any other notability guideline. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:42, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A major POW content fork of the History of Ukraine. Also origibnal research of WP:SYNTH type, because Google gives close to no hits for the search term, with possible exceptions in the recent Ukrainian writings of the 21st century. Unlike Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, modern Ukraine started from the Ukrainian SSR, which emerged from the Russian Civil War, where it was split between Poland and Russia and where multiple proto-states were created and dissolved, and in fact Russia gave to it part of its territory to make comparable with the Polish part. Heck, Ukrainian SSR was one of the founding states which former the Soviet Union and the member of United Nations! Its economy was second in the Soviet Union after Russia. The only part of really Soviet occupation was grabbing parts of Ukraine from other countries after WWII: Soviet annexation of Eastern Galicia and Volhynia, etc. Lembit Staan (talk) 22:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or redirect to Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, since that is essentially what this article is talking about. Also, I doubt Ukraine is really that "grateful" to Stalin. -Indy beetle (talk) 23:17, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • I explained what it must be grateful for: without Staling there would have been no independent Ukraine: first, it was his politics of separate national republics, then he increased territory of Ukraine 3x. Without Stalin there would be one single Soviet Russian Empire, which would have probably would never collapsed (But this is alternative history :-). As for atrocities, all nations did have their skeletons in the cupboard. Lembit Staan (talk) 23:46, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The War in Crimea in 1918 has nothing to do with Ukraine because Crimea became part of Ukraine in 1954. The article implies that it's politically incorrect to refer to Ukraine as a former soviet republic, which is a clear violation of WP:NPOV. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 23:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (I haven’t read the article yet.) The nomination makes a valid point about the article title. However, the nomination’s rhetorical style and a statement like “Ukraine must be grateful to Stalin” (is this from a reliable source, or wp:righting great wrongs that never happened?) are straight out of Russian propaganda, synthesized from disinformation or cherry-picked facts (in reality the Bolsheviks invaded the Ukrainian People’s Republic which had seceded from revolutionary Russia, then gave large tracts of Ukrainian ethnocultural territory to the Russian SFSR in 1919 and 1924). Please read the article and judge on its relative merits. —Michael Z. 01:48, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Dear, first there was the Ukrainian People's Republic, which was occupied by Soviet troops. The UkSSR was created by Moscow's proteges, and if there were Ukrainians, they were accused of "bourgeois nationalism" and killed in the 1930s. Russia has never ceded its territories to Ukraine, all modern borders are ethnic territories of Ukrainians. Moreover, Russia took away from Ukraine the districts of Belgorod Region and Don Region (especially the city of Taganrog). At the Paris Peace Conference, the UPR declared its claims to Crimea, and a whole successful operation was carried out. It was impossible not to mention. I will tell you more, Stalin wanted all "Soviet republics" to be in the UN for the sake of increasing influence. However, Western leaders only agreed with the BSSR and the UkSSR. This "second economy of the USSR" fed only neighboring countries and the RSFSR, while Ukrainians starved and then suffered from poverty. The statement that there would be no independent modern Ukraine without the USSR is as erroneous as possible, and all other statements are as pro-Russian propaganda as possible. The creators of Ukraine are Ukrainians, not the Soviet government, which committed a whole genocide of Ukrainians, which you call a "skeleton in a closet." I just can't wrap my head "We should be grateful to Stalin." Approximately such users require renaming, for example, the article "Russo-Ukrainian War" to "Russian military intervention in Ukraine" or "the Russo-Ukrainian conflict". If possible, they would call it the "Civil War in Ukraine." Or the same Soviet-Ukrainian War, which on Russian Wikipedia is called "Revolution and Civil War in Ukraine." Please take this into account. By the way, in the Template:Soviet occupation, Ukraine has long been mentioned only with reference to the Soviet-Ukrainian War. So far, this topic has not appeared on its own, as has the Soviet occupation of Romania. Jafaz (talk) 12:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Just to let you know, "in-depth" and "significant" are synonyms regarding sources (or coverage) for editors on Wikipedia - perhaps by convention. There might be an SNG that actually uses the term "in-depth." In any case, think of them as synonymous or even interchangeable. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 04:29, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: OK, thanks for letting me know how many editors understand these words. I think it's worth insisting on "significant" at times. For one thing it's closer to "notable" which is the key issue ("more than a trivial mention" as per guidelines is a different bar than "in-depth"), and for another it's the word used in the guideline.

I came here originally to argue that this wasn't the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC compared to a recent murderer in the UK, but I've become convinced that this man fails WP:BANDMEMBER. Nothing on this stub page separates him from his former band, the discography section is exclusively his work with this band. There are very, very few sources exclusively about this man (often in relation to his band). A google search for "'Aiden' 'Jake Davison'" gets the Wiki mirrors on the first page.

The result was delete per WP:BLP1E. The overall discussion was closely divided, but as is often the case with many BLP1E discussions, many of the arguments did not address the key points. This includes some "delete" arguments that attacked the subject personally, and "keep" arguments that focused on the overall amount of coverage without touching the specific issues of BLP1E. Regarding the three criteria of that policy, the first (coverage for one incident) seems undisputed. The second was discussed in one "keep" argument that asserted he is not "low profile" because he posted information online and accepted media interviews. However, the criterion says "otherwise remains", which I take to mean otherwise beyond the one incident, and there was no argument that he has any media profile beyond this one incident. On the final criterion, it was established in the discussion that the larger event is significant and his role seems well documented, but it does not seem "substantial" as he was only one of many people seeking exit. Therefore the subject appears to meet all the necessary criteria of WP:BLP1E. RL0919 (talk) 17:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*No longer think the articles need to be moved to draftspace. It no longer meets criteria #3 of WP:NOTBLP1E. See my additional comments below. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 00:49, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per WP:BLP1ENOT, BLP1E does not just say BLPs notable for one event get deleted. This just isn't the case: it would be absurd to nominate D.B. Cooper or Trayvon Martin for deletion because they were "only notable for one event". There are multiple criteria that must be met. One of them is that the individual is "low-profile". WP:LOWPROFILE gives five ways to assess this: media attention, promotional activities, appearances and performances, eminence, and behavior pattern/activity level. Specifically, he created more than one thread on 4chan about his travels that featured his photo and real name, and eagerly gave multiple interviews to a variety of news outlets. Per WP:LOWPROFILE, persons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable. Regarding sourcing: there are plenty of RS right now, and he's in the middle of getting on a plane; either he makes it out, and does a ton of interviews with every newspaper in the world, or he doesn't, and there are a ton of articles about that. I think that seven days is long enough to find out (and if not, I will draftify it myself). jp×g 22:06, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since it seems like a large number of people are going to read this AfD, and possibly use it to inform their opinions of what Wikipedia editors are like, I'll clarify that I do hope he makes it out, and that later expansion of the article will continue the biography of a living person. jp×g 08:06, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Anvib: While he is certainly self-promotional, I think it's unlikely that Miles would prepare to write an article about himself by spending seven years editing Wikipedia pretending to be an engineer from the United States.

  • Strong delete. Per ToeSchmoker. I was in disbelief to discover this page. The comparisons with Trayvon Martin and D B Cooper are weak. This is clearly a brat whose actions in the middle of a real crisis have generated enough inconvenience and shock value to land him in newspapers. He will justifiably be forgotten by the end of the week, and if he isn't, we can have another conversation about whether he's notable enough for an article. I am properly indignant that he's being considered a cornerstone of this crisis and repulsed that we are contributing to it. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 20:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really understand the point you are making; whether the guy is a dick is not a relevant consideration for notability (and even if it were, it's hard to see how he is more of a dick than a guy who brought a bomb on an airplane and threatened to murder everyone with it unless he was given $200,000). D.B. Cooper doesn't have an article because we think he's a great guy, he has an article because he's received substantial coverage from independent reliable sources. jp×g 20:53, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Without meaning any disrespect, I find it difficult to explain the obvious with reference to granular policy. I cannot see how you analogise Trayvon Martin (whose killing sparked a movement) and D B Cooper (whose hijacking has captured the imagination for decades) with a kid who happened to be at a war zone in the middle of the war. He is the among the least important things in this conflict. I could do the “Wikipedia is not a crystal ball” or “Wikipedia is not a newspaper” thing, or get into the weeds on the notability guideline, but I see this as one of those clear, in-your-face examples where the subject obviously is not notable in any reasonable sense. Many of the other “delete” comments here are clearly inspired by the same sentiment. And apologies if I confused you by calling him a “brat”; that wasn’t the point, it just made me feel better. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 00:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Routledge has been covered by multiple major publications as part of a significant event, which is good enough for WP:BLP1E.

  • Keep: After careful consideration, I'm going to lean on the keep side. The subject's coverage of the siege on Kabul and his escape are sufficiently distinct for me to say it passes WP:1E. The sticking point for me was on "There is usually no need to write articles about things with no historical significance whatsoever." The siege on Kabul was historically significant, and in my opinion the subject's coverage of the events that transpired, as well as his wider media coverage, make him sufficiently notable to have an article. Tojam2 (talk) 22:48, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The siege on Kabul was historically significant, but I fail to see how a college student going there while it happened and sharing a couple social media posts is. It's not like he's a journalist. He provides little to no insight to the historical event. I would say he has no relevance to the event. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 22:57, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:GNG presumes notability in the presence of WP:SIGCOV. While there may be a cogent argument to be made in favor of adopting different notability guidelines, it's not really clear to me what an objective measure of "significance" would look like for biographies. As an example, Elián González is a BLP notable in conjunction with only one event (the controversy over whether he would be allowed to immigrate from Cuba to the United States). He is not even mentioned in Cuba–United States relations; in our article on the specific US policy regarding situations like his, he is given only a passing mention as an example of someone to whom it applied. I would say he is notable regardless, since his ordeal was given lots of significant coverage by reliable sources, and consensus is broadly on the side of SIGCOV establishing notability -- determining whether or not someone is "historically relevant" seems like a quite subjective process that's outside our remit as encyclopedia editors (and doing so could potentially be a form of original research).
    I guess what I'm trying to say here is that, if our policies presume notability when a subject is given significant coverage by well-regarded reliable sources, like the BBC (RSP entry), Telegraph (RSP entry), and Times (RSP entry), and in the last few days these sources have all decided the guy was worth writing about, it's not clear to me what basis there is for claiming otherwise. jp×g 23:40, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: WP:GNG: ---No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: the evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity, nor is the topic unsuitable for any other reason. Sources of evidence include recognized peer-reviewed publications, credible and authoritative books, reputable media sources, and other reliable sources generally.--- Anvib (talk) 00:13, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of reputable media sources here; is there an issue with the reliability of the three I posted in the comment above? jp×g 00:31, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG: Did you read above? As per above, sources alone (reliable or not) are not enough, “No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists”. As per above the evidence must show that “this was not a mere short-term interest”. This is evidently a short term interest. This is an individual has appeared in the news for a single incident, at most it merits mention as part of another wikipedia article. He does not merit his own wikipedia article as per BLP. And there are clear concerns about self-promotion as per above. Neither points you have addressed. Anvib (talk) 16:39, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I did not say the topic was notable "because it exists"; I am saying it has a presumption of notability because "it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", which is a direct quote of the first sentence of WP:GNG. jp×g 19:25, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Those are good points by JPxG. I think he is now notable by Wikipedia's standards. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 00:47, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If his role was significant, would his name not appear in other wiki articles regarding the event, with some links directing to his page?
If his page is kept, does this set a precedence for creating articles about soldiers, aid workers, etc who have had a more significant role in Afghanistan and also appeared in reputable MSM sources?Humongous125 (talk) 13:23, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that deleting and merging this or mentioning this individual in another article would be more appropriate than this article and would be a fair compromise.Anvib (talk) 16:43, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Writing an article about someone who has multiple stories focusing on them in reliable sources is not "creating a precedent", so much as it's "the general notability guidelines that have existed for many years". If I saw an article about an aid worker or translator who was the primary subject of a dozen news stories, I certainly would not nominate it for deletion, and if I saw it at AfD I would !vote "keep"; I'm not sure what stops you from doing this. jp×g 19:16, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JPxG:Then why is George Holliday given as an example in WP:1E as someone who’s actions were only significant enough to warrant his name being merged with Rodney King? There is quite a few reputable sources such as the NY Times with articles about him. I also ask again, what is different about Miles that differentiates him from the experiences of any other foreign national stuck in the country? Or is the fact that the MSM has selected him as their poster boy to personify foreign nationals trying to leave the country sufficient for a Wikipedia page about him? Humongous125 (talk) 06:50, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, I don't think an impromptu commentary video by a random YouTube user with no direct connection to the subject is in any way relevant to the discussion, and including a quote that I'm not sure even comes up in it but could easily be understood to be from Routledge himself (if one hasn't actually watched it) is suboptimal. AngryHarpy‍talk 17:20, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – oh boy, it's another one of those, huh? I've been passively following this discussion, and a lot of the more recent support for deletion features an increasingly undeniable tinge of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I also have to call into serious question statements like sources alone (reliable or not) are not enough, “No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists“ – sorry to say, but no, the second half doesn't really have much to do with the first one at all, and reliable sources alone indeed are enough. Mainly per JPxG's eloquent words above, I find myself in favor of inclusion by this point. AngryHarpy‍talk 17:32, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Er... What? --DanielRigal (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. The article, as it stands, is all about one event. There is RS coverage of that one event but nothing broad enough to source a BLP. We don't want BLPs of the type "That guy who made a fool of himself one time when he was young". Unless his other activities establish a broader pattern of notability, I think it is best, both for us and for him, not to have a BLP about him. That said, unless he changes his name, his Google searches are probably wrecked for life whether we have an article about him or not. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:07, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Full disclosure: I've tagged the article as an orphan. There was one incoming link but it was this which I had already reverted as unreliably referenced and hence non-notable. I guess I should mention it here lest anybody think that I am trying to be sneaky by deleting the only incoming link and then tagging as orphaned. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:42, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as a prime example of BLP1E. There's absolutely nothing which indicates that this person has any form of previous significance (i.e. notability is not temporary, and the current events are not sufficient to convince me this is more than just the usual RECENTISM of things that are in the news; given the role of this person in this one event is not significant (the examples of people that are notable for only one event and get an exception are those like Derek Chauvin (significant role in a notable event), which is clearly not the case here). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 00:56, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While the fall of Kabul is a highly notable event, Routledge played no role in it beyond getting trapped in the city (a trait shared by thousands of foreigners and millions of Afghans). Based on WP:BLP1E, this is simply not enough to get an article. In terms of general notability, Routledge received only a few days of coverage most of which has now concluded. (I did find a Russia Time's article published today, but this is not a reliable source). Thus, I think this article fails WP:NOTNEWS. Finally, Routledge is a young university student. If we keep this article, then over the next few decades we would have to keep track of someone who will almost certainly be a private individual who does nothing further of encyclopedic note. This poses major privacy concerns and runs afoul of WP:5P1. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 20:25, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The value of this picture also lies in the fact that he has good situational humor logically resulting from the action. An additional attraction of Niedorajda is the popular song by Dymsza "Co z toba Florek", composed by Henryk Wars to the words of Jerzy Jurandot.).

  • Keep "Perry is best known as the U.S. Air Force's first African American jet pilot and first African American jet instructor, sharing these two honors with three other African American officers." This sounds like a pretty notable distinction. There might have been 922 pilots in the Tuskegee Airmen but that doesn't mean none of them are notable. I was able to find these sources on Google,[12][13][14], [15]. I think this page needs work but not deletion. BuySomeApples (talk) 10:46, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the quote you gave from the page says he was the first and then shares these honors with three other African American officers, So which was it? Was he first or one of 4? In any event the only source for that isn't RS. The sources you gave are all just passing mentions with nothing in depth about him. Mztourist (talk) 10:58, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seemed pretty clear to me that he was one of 4 who became pilots at the same time. This means that they would share the distinction, but the small number still makes it...distinctive. James Voss and Susan Helms share the distinction of the longest single spacewalk, its not less special because 2 people did it at the same time. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:03, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? I'm not sure that evaluating the lack depth of coverage and reliability of references used is some sort of unfathomable concept and I certainly would not use it to paint other editors of trying to "erase" anything. The history of the Tuskegee Airmen is covered at length and in depth, as it should be, and there are many members that meet notability standards and they have received more than passing mentions, being covered on non-reliable blogsites, and listings on unit rosters. But this is not the case with the subject of the article. GPL93 (talk) 17:12, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - the main purpose of GNG is to ensure that we can write an encyclopedia artice in a verifiable (reliable sources). neutral (multiple sources) manner that gives the reader some comprehension of the topic. That's what we have here, an article that meets WP:V that is far beyond a stub. This is not fancruft, but details the life of a person with significant accomplishments.

Have you looked at the sources? Do you seriously believe that BASIC is satisfied? Mztourist (talk) 13:13, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen the sources, there isn't much SIGCOV, but an article with significant information has been created from the pieces. I would return the question and ask "do you seriously believe the article is harming the encyclopedia, instead of helping it", but Intothatdarkness has below presentend siginifcant evidence that in fact this article does harm the encyclopedia. I will re-evaluate my !vote accordingly. Intothatdarkness, your "Easy Company" reference is going right over my head, since this is not an area of expertise for me. Can you help me out? Thanks! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that...it's actually a reference to something another poster (I believe Mztourist) brought up in another AfD for an article like this. After "Band of Brothers" you started seeing a flood of articles about members of the unit covered (Easy Company) who were only notable for having BEEN in Easy Company. This is something similar. That and the majority of information is coming from a single website (cafriseabove.org), and if you see my comment below I'm not sure they're a reliable or necessarily neutral source. I'd feel MUCH better about these articles if they were based on something other than it and obituaries (or recycled content from either of those sources). Intothatdarkness 14:00, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Changed !vote, see reason below. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:35, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If you actually review https://cafriseabove.org/henry-buford-herky-perry/, you'll see that most of this article is a direct copy from that source, including the flight training error identifying Perry as Deiz (the article also links to the CAF article on Deiz at a later point). The massive copyvio alone makes this suspect. I've made some wording changes, but caught the major lift when I tired to confirm the misidentification in the article of Perry as Deiz. It also leads me to question the viability of the CAF site as RS. Notability aside (and I'm still not convinced this isn't another Easy Company situation), there seem to be major issues with the use of sources in this (and likely other) articles. Intothatdarkness 13:48, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - as copyvio. There are earlier versions of this article that aren't a copyvio of cafriseabove.org (which according to Earwig is 87% copied from that source), but the earlier versions are a copyvio of BlackThen. That said, I still think this topic is notable, as Perry was (one of four) the first African-American flight instructor in the U.S. Air Force. I believe an encyclopdic article could be built on available sources. Nonetheless cafriseabove is certainly questionable, as it lists a Wiki source as its base. I list it as "questionable" instead of "unreliable" because it is possible the site has fact-checked the information on that fan-wiki, but frankly I feel that's unlikely. FWIW, another source with a bit of info not available in the current article is [17]. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:35, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think it might be possible to incorporate quite a bit of the information in these articles into an expanded version of the Postwar section of the Tuskeegee Airmen article, with redirects to that location. While individual notability is to me low, I think there's some collective notability which might be better-suited for the main article. Intothatdarkness 15:28, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Intothatdarkness. Merging relevant details into the Tuskeegee Airmen article, possibly in a new section focused on the impact that former members had on the postwar Air Force, is likely more appropriate than independent articles where notability is murky at best based on available sourcing. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:15, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure how that fits into that article/section, what would be better is a "list of accomplished Tuskeegee Airmen" where some verifiable biographical information is available beyond birth/death/marriage dates, since I don't think we want a 900+ list. My idea is probably unmanageable, but I could certainly support moving information to a table provided it is small enough to fit without being unweildly. Anyway, I wouldn't merge anything from this article until it's verified to not be a copyvio. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 19:38, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking a note in the Tuskeegee article could be added listing the first four who transitioned to jets and then became instructors (which seems to be a large part of the basis for Perry's claimed notability...although he shares it with three other individuals). You won't be able to fold all these articles into the main one, but I do believe articles like this one, along with Haywood, Lench (who's still a red link), and Whitehead, are good candidates. It would also help expand the postwar/legacy section of the Tuskeegee article. Just my take. Intothatdarkness 19:58, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Then Keep, as WP:BEFORE here is clearly woefully inadequate and the list above includes 7 references that - by the nominator's own admission - don't align with the nominator's premise (that they "refer to performances by the actresses"). Instead, they offer coverage of the character in the form of in-universe commentary about the character's place within a notable story. That's exactly the sort of coverage we expect to see for notable fictional characters, and in this case they appear in the New York Times, Washington Post and other consistently reliable sources. We should expect more than a vapid "does not establish character notability" without actual assessment of the value of each source. St★lwart111 10:42, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you explain how these sources establish this is a notable character?
ChannelCanada says: "Entertainment One (eOne), Sony Pictures Television Networks, NBC and Global are proud to announce that Canadian actress Molly Parker (“Deadwood,” “Swingtown”) has signed on to star as Abby McDeere in the new legal drama series “The Firm,” based on John Grisham’s best-selling novel and executive-produced by Grisham and Lukas Reiter. Ten years ago, Abby helped her husband Mitch bring down a Memphis law firm that was a front for the Chicago mob. Her life was never the same. Abby’s a true partner to Mitch – a smart, resourceful woman who after a tumultuous decade is excited to start a new life in Washington, D.C. as a school teacher."
Washington Post says: "Meanwhile, at the same office party, Mitch's wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn), is picking up Stepford Lawyers vibes. "The firm does not forbid wives to take jobs," one spouse tells her. "The firm encourages children." Soon Mitch is working too hard and too late, and an increasingly suspicious Abby is resenting him as she broods alone in their posh cocoon... Tripplehorn gives Abby a welcomely elegant and alert presence."
NY Times says: "his blue-blood wife... the show puts Mitch McDeere (Josh Lucas) and his wife, Abby (Molly Parker), in Washington"
Variety says: "Mitch’s teacher wife Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn) smells a rat from the outset"
Entertainment Weekly says: "But his wife, Abby (Jeanne Tripplehorn), who has worldlier intuitions than he does, is suspicious of the firm, and with good reason."
Roger Ebert says: "Mitch moves to Memphis with his wife, Abby".
Hollywood Reporter says: "So Mitch, wife Abby... until Mitch can get to a pay phone and tell Abby the code-red news... Abby is a dutiful wife but is worried that Mitch’s struggling solo firm doesn’t have enough paying clients to pay the mortgage."
I don't see how any of these establish this character is any more notable than various other characters mentioned. These are passing references while reviewers describe the plot. It would be hard to describe the plot without mentioning Mitch's wife, but that doesn't mean she's a notable character. cagliost (talk) 11:15, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is coverage of the character here, I don't see how this merits a separate article. cagliost (talk) 11:18, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's exactly the sort of coverage we expect to see for fictional characters (those and the ones you missed). Again, WP:BEFORE. We're talking about a character that has been represented across multiple mediums. This is a silly and lazy nomination and you know it. St★lwart111 01:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A non-notable character from a book does not automatically gain notability because it has been represented in additional mediums. That would apply to practically every character in the book. cagliost (talk) 08:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You said "We should expect more than a vapid 'does not establish character notability" without actual assessment of the value of each source.'. I then quoted in full everything each source has to say about the character. Let me now provide an assessment of the value of each source. The ChannelCanada source is not a reliable source, it is a press release. The remaining sources are trivial mentions. cagliost (talk) 08:45, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You say "they offer coverage of the character in the form of in-universe commentary about the character's place within a notable story. That's exactly the sort of coverage we expect to see for notable fictional characters". No, it is not. We don't need trivial in-universe description of the character's place within a notable story, we need sources establishing the character's significance independently of the story. Compare articles for secondary characters like Joker (character), Bulbasaur or Vladimir Harkonnen. cagliost (talk) 08:58, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't found any sources to show notability for the school, only sources showing it exists, which is not enough. There's a couple of independent and secondary sources that mention it, [18] and [19], but that's far from WP:SIGCOV. The Georgian Wikipedia article that was the only reference until two days ago is in fact not related to this school, it's the ka.wiki version of European School. The newly added source looks like it's a brochure created by some of the students to showcase their work in biology class. The school website at http://ecole-brosset.edu.ge/ is not working and hasn't been archived by archive.org since 2018. I don't know any Georgian, hence my weak delete in case there are Georgian language sources I can't find, but if it were notable, there would presumably be sources in French, and I can't find any. --bonadea contributions talk 09:11, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As this topic does not meet WP:CRIN, that essay is quite irrelevant to this discussion also.

This article is redundant to Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory among others. soibangla (talk) 16:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep this is an independently WP:NOTABLE controversy that is out of the scope for Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory, as it is currently named. This controversy is reported by RS to involve 1) the Democratic party which - on behalf of Joe Biden - denied an allegation that is possibly supported by laptop data, 2) a group of 50 former intelligence professionals who made the widely publicised but unsubstantiated claim - during the 2020 election - that this laptop is part a Russian information operation and 3) elements of the mainstream media are allegedly suppressing this story due to lack of access to primary data - just like they did with another topic we all know about - and 4) Federal officials delaying "actions" so as not to adversely effect the outcome of the 2020 elections in favor of alleged Russian's goals. I created this article in good faith because I read the sources referenced here and also read the comments of multiple editors on the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory talk page who do not believe its claims are verifiable or neutral. I would agree to a merge this page with that page if it is renamed as Biden–Ukraine controversy, or something similarly neutral, and reworked to reflect more up-to-date sources. CutePeach (talk) 16:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What did the Democratic party deny that is possibly supported by the laptop data? 50 former intelligence professionals who made the widely publicised but unsubstantiated claim...that this laptop is part a Russian information operation significantly misrepresents what they actually said. Here you say I am new to this subject yet this obvious POVFORK article was created. Consequently I now recommend WP:SPEEDY soibangla (talk) 16:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The group of former intelligence professionals said it had "hallmarks" of a Russian information operation, which is reflected accurately in the article. What the WSK oped says is that they had no way of knowing this and were likely just trying to prevent another Comey type fiasco, and I laud them for that, but elections are over now. Time for WP:COMMONSENSE. We have no idea if/how the Russians are involved and what data from the laptop feeds into whacky conspiracy theories, and what makes up a legitimate political controversy. Good night now. CutePeach (talk) 18:57, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
former intelligence professionals said it had "hallmarks" of a Russian information operation is not what you just said here: this laptop is part a Russian information operation soibangla (talk) 19:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Russians releasing this video from this laptop in which he says he lost another laptop with even worse videos - to Russians who wonna blackmail him - is just too many wheels inside wheels, which not only makes no sense, but also isn't supported by RS. The FBI - which now has possession of the laptop - hasn't issued any statement in this regard, so we have no idea if/how the Russians were/are involved. Until then, this is just a controversy and there is no conspiracy, man. CutePeach (talk) 19:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your new article is predicated on a report by an unreliable source and echoed by a handful of dubious/unreliable sources. This is not sufficient basis for a new article. soibangla (talk) 20:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/merge - The content in this article is DUE in the same exact proportion as content on the Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory article. It just uses more controversial sourcing (Newsweek, NY Post, etc), and has a title that appears to make this conspiracy theory more plausible than is warranted. I would even go so far as to say this article is a POVFORK of Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory. I don't believe it has notability independent of that theory, and it is never mentioned outside of that theory in our RSes. Ergo, should be redirected to that article, and any non-redundant DUE NPOV content that is of high quality should be merged into a new section of Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory.--Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 16:15, 15 August 2021 (UTC) (vote updated to rd/m 17:52, 15 August 2021 (UTC))[reply]

  • Delete as redundant to other articles and a POVFORK. The opening is NPOV, but the section about the right wing whining that the story is being covered up is quite POV. Rather than focus on the 50 former intelligence officials who tagged this as a "Russian information operation", the focus goes to Holman W. Jenkins Jr. criticizing them, even while he celebrates a deprecated source in WP:DAILYMAIL and one that probably should be deprecated in WP:NYPOST.

Muboshgu Sorry, I am new to American Politics on Wikipedia. Are you saying that if a Filipino party denied an allegation made against its leader, then we on Wikipedia could put it as fact in article titles and content, before the Filipino government has conducted an investigation on the matter? What about Zimbabwean or Syrian political parties? I can understand how adding the Biden campaign denials to this article would improve it, and I would encourage you to do so, but I don't get how deleting the article - cutting off our nose to spite our face - somehow makes it better.

Gone is the statement sourced from Business Insider saying the laptop data was claimed to incriminate Hunter and harm his father's candidacy. Gone is the CNN report quoting Hunter saying the laptop could have belonged to him, which potentially proves the provenance of the data. Gone is the report of Hunter naked in bed talking about another lost laptop that the entire world saw but which Wikipedia some Wikipedia editors consider too controversial conspiracy for the chaste eyes of our innocent readers. I personally don't actually believe the data on this laptop incriminates or hurts the Bidens all that much, but I don't believe it is a conspiracy theory to say the laptop is his and was possibly handed to Trump allies by a regular dude (and not some Russians, which is in reference to a different earlier lost laptop) - yet some editors here are reacting in a knee jerk fashion as if I and the sources I provide claim otherwise. This is yet another example of how the entire world gets to gets to see the emperor naked (quite literally in this case), while POVPUSHING Wikipedians spin yarn.

  • Merge two articles keeping this name. More NPOV name. There is a conspiracy theory (Biden engaged in corrupt activities) and there is other stuff that may be true [21], so this name is much more suitable. A lot of people use Motte-and-bailey tactics here: if the former is a conspiracy theory than everything tangentially related to it is also fake news. Alaexis¿question? 19:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    One topic is a notable political smear relating to a US election and involving 2 US Presidents, the other is about the (currently unproven) dodgy dealings of a private businessman which have had only brief, passing coverage in quality sources. If that private citizen was anyone other than Biden's son it wouldn't be considered remotely suitable for a separate article because of BLP policy, not least the section on attack pages. There's WP:BLPCRIME to consider as well. The vast majority of coverage on this comes from tabloid smears and disclosures of alleged hacked material – including sensitive personal details – which are not suitable for an encyclopedia. Hunter's biography can include the information that's reported by RS, but I don't believe there's enough of it to warrant a separate article with this title, and a neutral article can't be produced from the little material there is (again, because of BLP/attack pages). This title is not a substitute for the article on Joe Biden and Ukraine, as it's only related to one aspect of that affair, despite the fact it was essentially forked from it. Concerns about the conspiracy theory article's name are a separate issue, and are a topic for its talk page. Jr8825 • Talk 20:19, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't agree with that. It was an important story in and of itself. It has been covered by reliable sources and it is also a media story - what gets and what doesn't get covered. As The Boston Globe puts it [22]:
So pretending that the conspiracy theory is the only thing that is notable here is not right. Alaexis¿question? 21:25, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That was before the laptop story so it's probably better to merge everything into one article with a more neutral title. Alaexis¿question? 21:35, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Joe Biden's conflict of interest in Ukraine is covered in the article on the conspiracy theory, and is only tangentially related Hunter's Biden's alleged laptop – the sources I read said the conflict of interest was caused by Hunter simply having the Burisma job in the first place. If elements of the "laptop story" are mentioned in reliable sources, then my view is that coverage belongs in Hunter Biden's article. My assessment is that it hasn't had enough coverage to warrant a separate topic – and that there's not enough material to write a neutral article (as I mentioned above).

  • Delete The article does not even point us to anything that would have been a significant role in a notable production, even one that we can critique and show was either not significant or not in a notable production. While academics of theatre/acting can be notable for such, we would have to have substantial publications, or being the head of a university, or being editor-in-chief of an academic journal related to acting/theatre that is considered a significant publication, none of which we are even close to seeing indicated. This is the largest failure of actress notability I have ever seen for an actress, and one of the most extreme failures of academic notability I have ever seen for an academic. Of course if we applied a rule like the football notability rule to academics, the academic equivalent might be met here, but that is not at all our rule, so clearly no notability guidelines are met.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:42, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Although it was pointed out in the previous AfD that references to CosMos existed in this book, the author of that book worked at her internship in the University of York under Prof. Jon Timmis who is listed as involved in the Project at York. It therefore cannot be considered as intellectually independent. Also, this article descibes CosMos as a "4 year project" which received funding between 2007 and 2011 - yet the official webpage describes it significantly differently. It appears that it isn't a "project" per se but an umbrella term to capture activities used to build out understanding/tools/case studies of complex systems. The website describes it as follows:
  • Drawing on our state-of-the-art expertise in many aspects of computer systems engineering, we will develop CoSMoS, a modelling and simulation process and infrastructure specifically designed to allow complex systems to be explored, analysed, and designed within a uniform framework.
At least some of the case studies and tools still continuing up to 2015 at least, based on the last "workshop" listed on the website. I believe that the project did not achieve notability in its own right and some of the case studies, participants and tools may have a bigger claim to notability.

  • Delete This seems to be a small part of a business plan that considers the network as a bait and switch to get you in the door; no source or schedule to be found, and it looks like they only exist because the platform they're on auctions channel slots to the highest bidder. Going by their website, it basically seems to be a 'free preview' channel guiding you to their Android app and YouTube channels, where they either ask for a subscription to said app to watch their movies, or have their acquired films on several YouTube channels filled with plenty of money-making ad breaks (and hideously-placed watermarks making you want to try the Android app instead). Never mind that said company claims perpetual rights for these films on the front page of the website, so it's sketchy they even have the rights to them in the first place.

      The article notes from Google Translate: "On June 9, the suspense soft science fiction series Pandora's Box held an advanced screening event in Shanghai, unveiling the mystery of the first Chinese film screening at the Magnolia Award at the 25th Shanghai TV Festival. The producer/supervisor Kenny Chau (周其良), director Jiang Lei, starring Ray Change (zh:張睿 (演員)), He Dujuan, Liu Xueyi, and Yasuaki Kurata of Pandora's Box also came to the scene to share with the audience the creative story behind the stage, about Pandora's Box. The huge amount of information, the texture of Japanese dramas, and the special discussion of character setting also made the hot search on Weibo."

      From Google Translate: "Based on scientific concepts, the play proposes theoretical clues such as "Schrödinger's Cat"... In addition, there are a large number of scenes depicting the world of "consciousness" in the play. The huge amount of information makes people overwhelmed during the viewing process. It is both sci-fi and brain-burning. The creative method is novel and it is also a visual feast. ... In addition to the strong cast and movie-like texture, the high quality of the plot is also a highlight of "Tianmu Crisis". For such a high-quality original IP, the excellent team in front of and behind the scenes also made the show even more powerful, and it is highly anticipated by netizens."

      The article provides one paragraph coverage about the subject. The article notes from Google Translate: "The TV series Pandora's Box is a suspenseful brain-burning drama. The story tells a physics student who is enthusiastic about science. Because his mother was involved in a traffic accident, he was trapped by others. In order to get out of control, he stepped into the crime of a gangster.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Pandora's Box (simplified Chinese: 天目危机; traditional Chinese: 天目危機) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. None of its claims of services are cited, and everything below the lead reads like an advertisement: "augment its strategic, national growth efforts", "enrich the lives of LivHOME clients". While I can't read the full WSJ article, the first 4.5 paragraphs mention nothing about it, and the business journal just writes about the aquisitions, not about the company itself or what they've done. Catholic Online is not reliable, and the archived 'advance web' page mentions LivHOME once, about the author. No sources indicate notability, and websites that mention it all seem to talk about it's acquisitions. Of the websites on google that talk about it, none are reliable, and some are self-published.

Possibly can be cleaned up and would be willing to withdraw the nomination, but should not be in main space in present condition since bordering on hoax.

  • Keep - Ultrasoft, with over 40 titles to its credit, was in its time the biggest game software publisher in Czechoslovakia and one of the biggest European producers of computer games during the 1990s. Deleting this article would be akin to altering the history of 8-bit personal home computers, particularly ZX Spectrum. There was hardly a single ZX Spectrum owner on the territory of former Czechoslovakia who wouldn't own at least one gaming title from this publishing house. Regardless who created this article, if Ultrasoft should go, so should Domark, Gremlin Interactive, Ocean Software, Imagine Software, etc, etc... Last but not least - it seems that MrMajors embarked on some sort of personal deletion vendetta against me - I always admired work of 95% of Wikipedia editors, but was often in the past put off and saddened by efforts of a small percentage of those, who seem to be constantly set in a default negativistic attitude and for some strange reason are adamant to destroy other people's work, whatever the cost. This page was not created for self-promotional reasons - hardly - we are talking here about the long-past history of video games (25-30 years ago) - although, history it is nonetheless.
"One of the biggest European producers of computer games" but apparently not a single independent source can verify that. It's also apparently a complete coincidence that pages for both Ultrasoft and Towdie were created just before launching a kickstarter to re-boot the game. MrMajors (talk) 11:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Regardless of the reasons for creating the article in the first place, the appropriate guideline is WP:NCORP which requires references to establish notability. Having searched, there appears to be a number of books (history of video games mostly) which provide varying amount of information about the company and I have no doubt there are likely other references in the Czech language. HighKing++ 19:58, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
as per WP:SIRS, references must "contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth.". Do they? MrMajors (talk) 10:25, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Check out "Copyright and Consequences: Central European and U.S. Perspectives" ISBN:ISBN1572734167 for a start. HighKing++ 10:48, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Is a passing mention on one of 300 pages "direct" or "significant" coverage? The text is about copyright law in Slovakia - not about the company specifically. It doesn't establish notability, especially considering the owner of the company is claiming this was one of the biggest producers of games in Europe comparable to Ocean or Domark/Eidos. MrMajors (talk) 11:52, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Page 118 is entitled "Ultrasoft, A Company to Combat Software Pirates" and is more than a passing mention. HighKing++ 16:31, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
the WP:NCORP guidance specific to companies states "Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization". This reference simply confirms that Ultrasoft was a company in Bratislava and had a problem with software piracy - it does nothing to establish the notability of the company. MrMajors (talk) 11:38, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very interesting point made by HighKing++ (which I have completely forgotten about, as it is a 25 year-old history) and yet another reason why this article should be kept. In addition to publishing own computer games, Ultrasoft also acted as an exclusive distributor within the territory of Czechoslovakia for Domark and Ocean Software game software houses based in the United Kingdom and therefore as a single enforcerer of copyright laws pertaining to the computer game titles published not only by Ultrasoft, but also by the aforementioned two companies. Before this, the territory of Czechoslovakia was with regards to video game sales largely a Wild West-like scenario, with dozens of people selling pirated copies of video games for 8 and 16-bit home computers such as ZX Spectrum, C64 and Amiga literally for pennies. Before, and alongside, Ultrasoft there simply weren’t any other legal computer games distributors in Czechoslovakia - certainly not on this professional level (see the examples of game covers) and at this scale (see the high number of titles published). Ultrasoft was the very first company to try and put stop to these shady practices and promote sale of original computer games – and it deserves a credit for this. If this article would go, it would basically mean that Wikipedia is rewriting the history of 8-bit video games in Czechoslovakia in the 90s and would imply that there was only black market in such video games at that time – which is absolutely NOT the case.

  • Keep Seems to have some coverage in depth in the book "Gaming the Iron Curtain: How Teenagers and Amateurs in Communist Czechoslovakia Claimed the Medium of Computer Games" (Jaroslav Svelch, 2018), and in "Fans and Videogames Histories, Fandom, Archives" ( Angela Ndalianis, Helen Stuckey , 2017). From other hits, likely Czech gaming magazines of the 1980s and 1990s would have more coverage, meaning that this needs a more thorough BEFORE search of those magazines and not a reliance of online searching to verify lack of sourcing. --Masem (t) 14:10, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JSTOR 148944 J. Miller. Soviet Studies Vol. 6, No. 1 (Jul., 1954), pp. 74-76. This too is significant coverage
So this satisfies GNG and NJOURNALS. Anybody with access to JSTOR can read these articles. As an aside, I could not find the quote cited by the second reference so that quote probably has to be removed.

Off-topic
Just to be clear. I didn't find these references for you. So I don't want to hear "much appreciated" from you. I happened to find them and felt obligated to present them as an editor. It had nothing to do with you. Believe me, after the AfD to which RandyKitty refers to above, I have no interest in editing with you or helping you. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 07:29, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's normal and common practice to thank an editor who has rendered a service to Wikipedia, in this case in a field that I care about, but I will in future refrain from doing so since you dislike it. As for the AfD, I did what I thought I was meant to be doing to defend an article that I think meets notability. I went about it the wrong way, and apologised. I also think you would do well to take another look at the sources given in that article, for the same reason: your obligations as an editor, regardless of your opinion of me. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 07:33, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you apologised. I can appreciate that. But I don't see any change in your behavior. You started out this AfD bludgeoning again. Also, I notice you seem to be highly argumentative. And I am noticing a tendency toward owning the last three academic journal articles you edited, including the related AfDs. This is just feedback. You can take it or leave it. If you want to get along with other editors I would take a look at what I have just said. If you don't agree that is your prerogative. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 01:00, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK Steve Quinn, I will try to improve my understanding about what is meant as bludgeoning and owning in this context. I thought I was disagreeing and giving my reasons, and reporting back when I had added new sources that improved notability. I'm not keen to be on AfD at all so I evidently have plenty to learn, but also don't want to have useful Asian studies journals pages deleted. And your comments about East Asian History (journal) not being published by ANU are clearly erroneous, which you can easily check (here for instance http://eah.anu.edu.au/sites/default/files/article-content/36/EAH36_01.pdf), but likely to confuse people looking at that AfD. I think as a responsible editor you should strike them out. Sheijiashaojun (talk) 05:36, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain to me, how is this original thought? I haven't invented anything. The term exists on its own, and you can check our Wiktionary page for more information about the term. Here is the link: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pseudolife --Pek~enwiki (talk) 16:37, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I know of no evidence that this term has ever been used by biologists. There are legitimate arguments about whether viruses are alive, with distinguished people on both sides (Patrick Forterre, for example, says that they are alive; Predestinación López-García says that they are not : I think most people, including me, agree with her), but they don't use the made-up term pseudolife. Athel cb (talk) 14:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's really unfair that you accuse this being made-up term, when even Wiktionary has page for it. You can check it here: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pseudolife --Pek~enwiki (talk) 16:20, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rather than relying on my intuition I thought I should check on Web of Science if the term has ever appeared in a scientific paper. Yes, it has, just once, in a paper that is not in biology but in electrical engineering [Single Sampling Inspection Method of Smart Meter According to Reliable Life, Zhou, H; Chen, QF; (...); Zhu, XL, International Conference on Quality, Reliability, Risk, Maintenance and Safety Engineering (QR2MSE) 2012], and as far I can tell from the rather weird abstract the meaning is unrelated to the definition in the wikiparticle: "This paper presents fast sampling inspection method based on the accelerated degradation test of the smart meters. This method uses the pseudo-life data obtained by the accelerated degradation test, then conducts distribution analysis, including distribution fitting and goodness-of-fit test to determine the final distribution of the pseudo-life data, and then choose sampling inspection method of reliability based on the distribution of information, and conduct the sampling inspection." I couldn't get very far into the paper itself without hitting a paywall, but it starts like this: "Electricity has its overwhelming power from the beginning it comes out, and now it has been all over the homes of ordinary people, our lives are closely related to it..." Athel cb (talk) 14:49, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is scientific article that talks about viruses being "pseudo living entities". Here is the link: https://www.nature.com/articles/nrmicro2108-c1 --Pek~enwiki (talk) 16:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the quote from the page: "We emphasize that although we might be able to call viruses 'pseudo living entities' or 'molecular parasites' we cannot deprive them of their status as living entities." --Pek~enwiki (talk) 16:39, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No where does this article use the word pseudolife and there is nothing to suggest that the authors were setting out to introduce a new term. Even if they were, a publication from 12 years ago hardly makes it notable. Athel cb (talk) 17:28, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pseudo living = Pseudolife. --Pek~enwiki (talk) 08:27, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete She only gets any coverage because her parents were actors, she has done nothign of note and all we have is vapid gossip coverage. We maybe should have articles on her parents, but she is not notable. This is an example of the extreme presentism of Wikipedia, which causes 1989 to be the largest birth-year category, even though there are a whole slew of professions and routes to notability (academics, religious leaders, many politicians and there are more) which very rarely lead to someone being notable by age 32.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep: The individual in question has received extensive coverage in a number of reliable media sources, including CNN Philippines, The Manila Times, and The Philippine Daily Inquirer. Many of them have to do with her starring in Viva Films productions, not really gossip: [25], [26],[27], [28], [29]. I don't think subjective assessments of the figure's worth is really relevant to this discussion. I'm sure much coverage of Paris Hilton would similarly be criticized as "vapid gossip coverage" but that doesn't have anything to do with her notability, or the fact that she has received coverage that is NOT "vapid gossip coverage" (i.e. one doesn't cancel out the other). Moreover, if being the beneficiary of nepotism were a legitimate criterion for non-notability (and I can't find anything on any guideline that says so), half of Hollywood wouldn't be considered notable. Per WP:BIO, an actor is notable if they have "had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." The individual in question has at least two lead roles in two Viva Films productions. They have also appeared in at least 6 different Viva Films productions, not to mention her appearances in ABS-CBN television series. I would also just like to remind: per WP:NOTE, "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." Therefore, however many references currently exist in the article in question is immaterial to questions of notability. Additionally, per WP: Multiple sources, "based on existing Wikipedia community norms, it seems that challenges to notability are successfully rebuffed when there are three good in-depth references in reliable sources that are independent of each other." I have provided 5 sources. Koikefan (talk) 03:07, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    If you don't see the difference in notability between Paris Hilton and AJ Raval then you probably have little to no understanding of Wikipedia's notability policies. It's not a matter of vapidness in the sources, it's a matter of significance and coverage in the sources. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 06:15, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I was pointing out that their basis for concluding someone as non-notable (existence of gossip coverage) is not a legitimate basis for making such a conclusion (if it is, please point me to the guideline) by using Paris Hilton as an example. I did not make a comparison between AJ Raval and Paris Hilton's notability, so please try to improve your reading comprehension before making sassy remarks at me. Their only bases for dismissing AJ Raval as non-notable is because she has "vapid gossip coverage," clearly ignoring the articles that do not meet that description (which I have linked to above), and that she has famous parents. Those are not legitimate bases for dismissing someone as non-notable. The articles I linked to give significant coverage to this individual. Koikefan (talk) 06:28, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    The articles you linked to provide minimal trivial coverage. Several of them are about her role with Diego Loyzaga, which is not a significant role and is only brought up due to Diego Loyzaga. The other articles are about her famous parents. Neither case is valid as notability cannot be inherited. AJ Raval may be notable in the future after starring in more significant roles, but currently remains non-notable. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 06:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, but we must have different definitions of trivial or minimal. At least three of the articles are entirely about her, bordering on profiles. Also, she is literally the lead of the movie, with Loyzaga as her co-star, so of course they're going to be talked about together. You have absolutely no basis for claiming that she is "only brought up" because of Loyzaga. On the contrary, they are talked about together because they are the two leads of the movie. They literally appear in the movie poster together as they are the two leads of the film. I would also like to know how you can conclude a lead role in a Viva Films production is "not a significant role." If a lead role is not a significant role, then what to you is a significant role? Viva Films is the 2nd or 3rd largest movie production company in the Philippines. None of the articles I linked to are about her famous parents, unless you think mentioning her famous parents makes an article about her famous parents. I would also suggest that you don't use strawmen here as I have never once argued that notability is inherited. That's completely dishonest. Koikefan (talk) 06:50, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Not a strawman and not dishonest-you clearly said someone was ignoring that Raval has famous parents, which would only be relevant if notability could be inherited. Anyways you're right I have little basis for concluding that Viva Films production is not a significant role, other than it is only one role, and all of the sources focus in on that one role. I'll agree it's not as clear cut as I may have original thought, but right now I still do not see them passing WP:GNG. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 07:11, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    You misread my statement. My statement was (copy and pasting): "Their only bases for dismissing AJ Raval as non-notable is because she has "vapid gossip coverage," clearly ignoring the articles that do not meet that description (which I have linked to above), and that she has famous parents." I enumerated their bases (notice I said bases and not basis) as 1. vapid gossip coverage and 2. that she has famous parents. The ignore solely refers to the "articles that do not meet that description"; "ignore" did not refer to famous parents. To address your point about the focus on one role, I will link here a few more articles that discuss another lead role of hers in a separate movie called Taya (this first link is another extensive profile): [30], [31], [32], [33].Koikefan (talk) 07:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't misunderstand your statement if you're saying they dismissed Raval as non-notable for having famous parents. That is in fact an actual strawman argument, as only one person above mentioned Raval parent's and it was in reference to them having their own Wikipedia articles. Their statement is only an opinion on Raval's parents' articles, not on Raval's notability. ––𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗗𝘂𝗱𝗲 talk 09:07, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    You misunderstood my statement because you were suggesting I argued that her famous parents have any bearing on her notability, when I said no such thing. You went so far as to imply that I think notability is inherited. As for the other person, they claimed that AJ Raval only gets coverage because "her parents were actors." Since none of us here are mind-readers or are capable of divining why authors write their articles, that's tantamount to dismissing someone's notability because they have famous parents, since it suggests, without evidence, that the coverage is based on the fame of her parents. How exactly is she supposed to ever be notable if all coverage of her is immediately assumed to be because of her parents, which is what the other person assumed? Can anybody here furnish evidence proving that the Philippine Star, Inquirer, or CNN coverage was only due to the fact that AJ Raval has parents that are famous actors?

  • Comment Sorry, but I hope whichever admin closes this discussion considers these sorts of votes to be votes without rationale. Merely saying someone is not notable enough, without explication, when at least 11 different reliable sources have been presented about her is quite something. May I remind: ""Votes" without rationales may be discounted at the discretion of the closing admin." Koikefan (talk) 10:22, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Sources in the article seem reliable. Sources 1, 2 and 5 talk about her. Sources 5 to 7 talks about her role in certain movies. I also found some reliable sources about her and her career: [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39] and [40]. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:NACTOR. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 10:00, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment This article: [41], in combination with the articles I've linked to, now means that AJ Raval has been referred to in nearly a dozen different reliable media sources, covering 2 lead roles and 1 supporting role, in three different movies. This goes above and beyond the three sources that is standard for rebutting challenges to notability. WP: Multiple sources: "based on existing Wikipedia community norms, it seems that challenges to notability are successfully rebuffed when there are three good in-depth references in reliable sources that are independent of each other." Koikefan (talk) 10:25, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*:Keep Please keep this page because she is notable as an actress even though there aren't too many movies as the main role but she is still famous because in all her movies she is always the one to be noticed even if she is not the main star. and when it comes to being her influencer and being a youtuber, she is very noticeable. I always see the teenage girls who are my neighbors here in the computer shop watching Aj's vlog because the type they admire seems to want to imitate the beauty and sexiness of Aj. and at the tip, she's also very famous on tiktok, so I think she has a blue badge check on the tip. so maybe that's enough to be notable as an Actress and Influencer."

  • Delete — I think this is one of the three times Nnadigoodluck has violated their topic ban on biographical articles thus far (I’m not so sure though) I do know MER-C blocked them for violating their Tban sometime in the past. If I’m not mistaken this was one of the articles DGG & I flagged as “possible spam” again I can’t really remember the details due to the fact they Nnadigoodluck “cleans up” his TP's manually and too often I might add. In any case there has been an extensive discussion on if or not the current parameters for accessing the notability standards for models are beneficial or counter productive, following the current parameters, this doesn’t seem to scale through. Furthermore sources used in the article largely fall under “churnalism” Having said I note at least two sources there seem to be accurate, however not enough. A WP:BASIC argument could have been made here but I see too many “mere announcements” for anything cogent to come out of that. FWIW, I’d initiate a site wide RFC on if the parameters for accessing models ought to be changed. Celestina007 (talk) 14:24, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Résumé-like biography of a small-town mayor, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NPOL #2. The strongest notability claim on offer here is that a piece of public infrastructure was named after him following his death, but that isn't an instant notability freebie in the absence of adequate sourcing (stuff gets named after former mayors all the time, everywhere), and the footnoting here is almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations, user-generated genealogical content on FamilySearch or Find a Grave, and a university history essay that happens to mention his name a few times without being about him in any non-trivial sense. (One of the FamilySearch hits is actually a clipping of a newspaper obituary, but (a) that isn't enough coverage to get a smalltown mayor over WP:GNG all by itself if it's the only real media hit he has, and (b) it fails to actually identify the newspaper in which it was originally published.) Further, the article was created by a single purpose account with no history of contributing to Wikipedia on any other topic, who's almost certainly a member of Christian Jensen's own family (thus violating our conflict of interest rules) as their username lines right up with the married surname of one of Jensen's daughters. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Christian Jensen from having to have a lot more real coverage about him in real media than this, and Wikipedia is not a free platform to memorialize your own ancestors.

  • Delete: Fails WP:NACTOR as his IMDB page doesn't indicate notable roles and fails WP:POLITICIAN as a failed candidate.

  • Delete The sourcing here is horrible and clearly full of badly-disguised PR connected to the man himself. These articles in particular are poorly written and wildly exaggerate his participation in Furious 7, where he was a background extra at best, and are full of lavish praise that clearly comes from the horse's mouth.

Despite my love for lead actor Leslie Nielson, this film fails WP:NFILM as nothing was found in a WP:BEFORE except film database sites. Perhaps it was one of his lesser known roles?

  • Keep 2 Critic Reviews at Rotten Tomatoes [48] and a 3 star rating at Allmovie (a WP:RS) [49] DonaldD23 talk to me 22:02, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are you kidding? 3 star rating is from 1 reliable source. We need more then one for an article to be included.--Filmomusico (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • And in order for Rotten Tomatoes to be considered a WP:RS we should have "Top Critic" reviews, not just 2 lousy critics who just give stars and nothing else.--Filmomusico (talk) 22:19, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • So Ok, I added AllMovies, because as you said it's WP:RS. It still falls bellow our inclusion level. We need at least 3 reliable sources.--Filmomusico (talk) 22:31, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Just because the reviews are no longer available doesn't make them less viable. They are CRITIC reviews, NOT audience reviews at Rotten Tomatoes. If you really need to know what they original said, go dig up the original reviews. I stand by my KEEP...there are THREE reliable reviews (even if they aren't available online anymore) DonaldD23 talk to me 23:36, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Donaldd23: Stand by whatever you want. I checked the PopcornQ site. Google shows me a Popcorn Company, lol. We are down to one critical review which isn't enough to pass WP:NFILM.--Filmomusico (talk) 00:33, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Again, the review happened, just because it is no longer online does not discredit it. Roger Ebert is dead, does that mean all of his reviews no longer count? Rotten Tomatoes considers the PopcornQ review to be a reliable critic (even if the site no longer exists), and Wikipedia considers Rotten Tomatoes to be reliable. Therefore, we are back to 3 reliable source reviews. Your opinion does not override consensus. DonaldD23 talk to me 01:24, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Donaldd23: It actually does. We don't know to whom review belong. Was it a magazine? A website? A blog? Yes, Rotten Tomatoes does list blog entries sometimes, at least I stumbled on it once. That's why I use "Top Critics". What is PopcornQ? Do you know? I don't. If PopcornQ is a small time blog, that one day just disappeared - we can't use that. Also, our sources should be verifiable. That is, if we say that "PopcornQ gave a film 2.5 out of 5" we need to use PopcornQ, not Rotten Tomatoes. And, because we don't know what PopcornQ is, reliability becomes questionable. And no, this is not my opinion. This is consensus' opinion.--Filmomusico (talk) 02:08, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • @Donaldd23: As a matter of fact, I checked WP:RSP for Rotten Tomatoes. It states: "Rotten Tomatoes is considered generally reliable for its review aggregation and its news articles on film and TV. There is no consensus on whether its blog articles and critic opinion pages are generally reliable for facts. There is consensus that user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes are generally unreliable, as they are self-published sources. Reviewers tracked by Rotten Tomatoes are not automatically reliable for their reviews, while there is no consensus on whether their "Top Critics" are generally reliable".--Filmomusico (talk) 02:22, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Per Rotten Tomatoes [[50]], "PopcornQ is not a Tomatometer-approved publication. Reviews from this publication only count toward the Tomatometer® when written by the following Tomatometer-approved critic(s): Brandon Judell" FYI, the reviewer for this film is Brandon Judell. DonaldD23 talk to me 02:36, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
              • @Donaldd23: If it's not approved by Rotten Tomatoes, then, my guess, we can't use it either. I will wait or seek a second opinion here. Rotten Tomatoes was known to put blogs as critical reviews, and no, I am not talking about The New York Times blogs (these we can use without any rejection by the consensus). Still, even if we know the author, that doesn't make the source more or less credible. Brandon Judell might be approved by Tomatometer, but it doesn't mean that Wikipedia will approve him. BTW, I see nothing mentioned of The Austin Chronicle and The Village Voice at WP:RSP.--Filmomusico (talk) 03:04, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                • Not every source will be listed at WP:RSP. The first line of the page says "This is a non-exhaustive list of sources whose reliability and use on Wikipedia are frequently discussed. This list summarizes prior consensus". Clearly those 2 you mentioned have never been questioned by anyone who has a firm grasp on the understanding of "third party, independent coverage". If you doubt those sources, feel free to begin a discussion for them at WP:RFC. But, as WP:RSP says, "For a source to be added to this list (WP:RSP), editors generally expect two or more significant discussions about the source's reliability in the past". So, even if you start a discussion for either of those 2, neither will be added to WP:RSP unless at least TWO discussions have taken place. DonaldD23 talk to me 13:54, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In addition to the 2 Rotten Tomato reviews (by Christopher Null and Brandon Judell - who, like Null, is Tomatometer®-approved), just from simple Googling there is a decent summary/review in Variety, and another in Den of Geek by Tomatometer-approved Aliya Whiteley, plus a detailed synopsis at The Paley Center for Media. I know Google has its limitations, but I'm willing to bet that if I searched for this in LexisNexis or Gale Cengage at my local library, and/or did a deep dive in film & television periodicals, I'd find multiple additional reviews and coverage, even if brief. Not every film is Citizen Kane, but not every encyclopedia article need to be War and Peace length to be complete and neutral. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:00, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep 2 Critic Reviews at Rotten Tomatoes [51] DonaldD23 talk to me 22:06, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, just like with Santa Who?, we can't keep the article based on 2 sources, one of which, (Common Sense Media), is not considered to be a WP:RS.--Filmomusico (talk) 22:43, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • You really need to read the guidelines better, because Common Sense Media IS a reliable source WP:RSP. Check it out. You opinion on CSM does not override multiple discussions which concluded that CSM IS a reliable source. DonaldD23 talk to me 23:38, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Donaldd23: CSM is used much less then Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, Slant, The Austin Chronicle and San Francisco Chronicle combined. I seen it used only on one article so far. How about you will give me a discussion where it says that CSM is reliable?--Filmomusico (talk) 00:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Did you click on the link I put above? Do that, find Common Sense Media, and then read the section about it. There are THREE discussions about CSM, most recently in 2020. Do I really have to do the work for you? And, the number of times YOU have seen it used is irrelevant, as you haven't been to every film page because it is listed at MANY. DonaldD23 talk to me 00:32, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • @Donaldd23: Ok. Clicked on it, read it. Concerned "As an advocacy organization, Common Sense Media is biased or opinionated, and its statements should generally be attributed". Which leads me to believe that it's not as reliable as it seems.--Filmomusico (talk) 00:45, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • @Filmomusico: I'm confused. The full quote you're using says "There is consensus that Common Sense Media is generally reliable for entertainment reviews. As an advocacy organization, Common Sense Media is biased or opinionated, and its statements should generally be attributed." Doesn't this mean that a film page review is exactly how we should use it? BuySomeApples (talk) 02:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
              • @BuySomeApples: And the second sentence states that As an advocacy organization, Common Sense Media is biased or opinionated, and its statements should generally be attributed. Which means, we shouldn't take their words for granted, or use them as a WP:RS.--Filmomusico (talk) 02:40, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                • @Filmomusico: It's saying that you should use them for entertainment reviews (movies and stuff) BUT that you should attribute controversial statements to them (so say like, "according to CSM" that way people know where the info is coming from). If you want, we can make sure to attribute them properly when that source gets added to the article. Does that work? BuySomeApples (talk) 02:45, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                  • @BuySomeApples: My problem with CSM is that it uses one-sentence reviews, such as here. I can't call '80s pulp novel gets creepy with evil adults, incest. as a review. A review to me is more broad then one tiny sentence, if you understand what I mean by that. --Filmomusico (talk) 02:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                    • @Filmomusico: Oh I see what the problem is! The info in the review is spread out in different sections, which makes it hard at a glance. That sentence at the top isn't the whole review (it's a summary I guess). There's an overview section and then other sections (like "What's The Story?" "Is It Any Good?" and "Talk To Your Kids About..."). It's a weird layout imo but I think it's meant to make it easier for parents. Judgy parents from the look of it. BuySomeApples (talk) 02:59, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                      • @BuySomeApples: Yes, and that's why no matter how you attribute, it still looks like as if somebody said something, aka blog. I don't know how consensus came to a decision that it is reliable (I should look into it further (Perhaps, either I am missing something, or they didn't look at the source close enough, or both)). Either way, imo I would use CSM same way as we use IMDb. That's where it should be. Our sources need to be neutral, not biased. With that said, I need to add that even though Wikipedia is an advocacy group of some kind, we, first of all, building an encyclopedia, and spreading CSM will be counter intuitive to our goals as a project, if you understand what I am saying. --Filmomusico (talk) 03:15, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                          • Right @Filmomusico:, I think part of the problem is that notability doesn't mean that the source has to be in only "unbiased" sources. What matters is how we use them. It's kind of the nature of reviews to be biased. Sometimes even famous critics are wrong about movies (like anyone who panned the original Star Wars!). We're not handing down critics' opinions like the voice of God, but we can say that critics noticed the movie (and that makes it notable). CSM might be biased, but it's a major source that uses legitimate editorial processes for reviews. This means that the movie made a significant impact etc, and that the review can be trusted as being from a well-known outlet. I guess it's ultimately a matter of opinion though and I get where you're coming from with it. BuySomeApples (talk) 03:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                            • @BuySomeApples: Yeah, it might be a legit source, but we as an encyclopedia don't need film ratings in our film articles. It seems that CSM, unlike other sites, is a Parental Guidance site, which literally says if that film is ok to watch for say 13-year-olds. If I would want to check out film rating before going to a movie, I will go to CSM, not Wikipedia. If I will want to read something about the film (besides the rating), I will choose Wikipedia, and every other reader probably will be of the same opinion.--Filmomusico (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                                • @Filmomusico: I totally get what you're saying. Technically though WP:Manual of Style/Film does say that including film reviews and aggregators is encouraged, and CSM counts as that. Wikipedia isn't a source in itself, it's a collection of information from other places (including CSM sometimes). I think we're way off topic by now, because the point is that CSM is considered reliable for reviews by Wikipedia and that means it counts towards this film's notability. BuySomeApples (talk) 06:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Again, your opinion does not override the consensus that it is a Reliable Site and is listed as such. Disagree all you want, but a consensus is a consensus. DonaldD23 talk to me 01:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A malformed header was fixed in this AfD. The nominator also did not sign their post. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 00:22, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Donaldd23 -- meets review threshold. One source being referenced less often than other sources has no bearing on whether or not this subject is notable, and as is pointed out, CSM is considered relevant for this. Suggesting that it has only been cited once and the Austin Chronicle is cited more so we can't use it is a sort of bizarre argument. matt91486 (talk) 04:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Quick note here: The comments about bias and so on with sites typically means that it should be avoided for statements of fact or controversial statements but can be used for things like reviews. So for example, you can use CSM for a film review but you shouldn't use it to back up information about say, depression in childhood, a historical event, or a school shooting (news, politics, health/medicine, and so on). Reviews are usually just the reviewer's opinion about the film itself and tend not to include anything that would be seen as controversial. Now it is possible for a site to be seen as completely unusable, but to accomplish this the outlet has to be known for major levels of misinformation like the Daily Mail.

  • Weak Delete per WP:NFP, however, I would be willing to change my viewpoint if an expert on the topic adds more sources or recreates the article later and can provide more sources. One would figure that something attached to Ryan Reynolds would have more out there that can be found. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 17:28, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It looks like the sources are reliable according to consensus. I respect that the nominator disagrees but that's not a good enough reason to delete the page. BuySomeApples (talk) 02:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • @BuySomeApples: Looking at the sources that @ReaderofthePack: provided, I am in a position to remove the nomination. Good job guys and gals, and happy editing! :)--Filmomusico (talk) 02:45, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I see the nomination is being withdrawn, I agree just looking at article in its current state, the film appears notable.--Milowent • hasspoken 15:51, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to Draft:Granada Electronics. My preliminary research suggests that while this is a run-of-the-mill product, the manufacturer, Granada Electronics, is a notable company. Granted, this is probably more for the company's failed effort to import Spanish-made Cabbage Patch dolls to the U.S., which was stopped by a lawsuit from the manufacturer of the U.S.-branded product, but this could still provide a seed for an article on the company.

    • Note: See Donald S. Chisum, Understanding Intellectual Property Law (1992), p. 510: "[I]n Original Appalachian Artworks, Inc. v.

  • Delete, no WP:SIGCOV. – DarkGlow • 10:32, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm a little reluctant to say so, because the article seems so out-of-the-way that it's hard to see harm in keeping it around, but I just haven't been able to find significant coverage in reliable sources, as the saying goes. If the reprints of his books were due to actual interest, then we could make a case for wiki-notability. However, they seem to be more on the "we'll make a print-on-demand copy of anything in the public domain" side of the publishing spectrum instead. XOR'easter (talk) 20:37, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking. First thing I found is this bio from a notable institute where he seems to be teaching. Looks like our article has the same text, a typical beginner's mistake. Second I found is this short bio from a notable music series where he seems to have performed. Third thing I found is recordings. Fourth thing I found is he has been teaching masterclasses. Fifth thing I found is a review. I have no more time right now but he seems notable enough, - it's just soft instruments that he plays.

Apparently promotional article about an acquired company. No evidence of notability under WP:CORP, WP:GNG or any other guideline. A WP:BEFORE on "Engagor" or "Clarabridge Engage" turns up only press releases and churnalism; no sign of WP:CORPDEPTH. PROD removed with claim that a yellow-rated source not usable for notability (TechCrunch) is "generally reliable" - but it needs actual coverage in solid and non-questionable RSes for CORPDEPTH.
