  • Keep This is a well-established concept, with coverage in numerous reliable sources. The fact that it has been "Has been in CAT:NN for 12 years" (in other words has had a notability tag on it for that long) is not a reason for deletion. Many inappropriate tags stay on articles for years, and others which were appropriate when they were first put there remain long after the issues they refer to have been rectified, just because nobody removes them.

If you check the history of this article, it previously went through XFD under a different name, with the decision being deletion. That was several years ago and the article still exists today.

  • The original nominator has failed to give a valid rationale (this having been deleted previously would not be an actual argument for deletion; you can try WP:G4, but what appears to have been deleted is Swan River Kinsmen Pool, something entirely different). So instead, I'll give a proper rationale, and relist (to allow for actual discussion):
Fails WP:GNG, current article does not cite a single independent reliable source; and searches do not yield anything of further interest beyond directories, social media pages, and the like. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:34, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your analysis and the new rationale. My assumption is that if this were indeed a brand new article under the name Richardson Centre, it would not appear in the article history for Swan River. Rogermx (talk) 19:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article with a very promotional tone made worse by IP edits in April 2020.

[5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12] and [13] are passing mentions.

I have doubts that [14] and [15] are unbiased articles. [16] is an entry in a top 100. So I question if this company was ever notable to begin with. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:37, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete yikes. WP:TNT applies here. The page we're hosting now is just an advertisement, and should be removed. If the topic is notable (in a quick web search, all the sources I'm seeing look promotional), someone should start a new article from scratch. Ajpolino (talk) 20:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree that, even if notable, WP:TNT applies, and I don't find anything notable. -- rsjaffe 🗩 🖉 21:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Even leaving aside the TNT angle (which I agree with), the criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. So, on top of TNT, even with "cleanup" to reduce the promotional tone, topic still fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 19:55, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • The above account, DarwinClean, has requested an indefinite block after I politely questioned his immediate AfD and content trimming participation as characteristic of an older account. To the best of my knowledge, no misconduct was identified nor Checkuser tool run, but closing admins may want to take this unusual turn of events under advisement.

  • Keep. Rosengren is the CEO of a big international company (revenue: 28 billion). Moreover, I could find several references about Rosengren (some in English, some in Swedish and some in German) and would be willing to improve the article. Btw his predecessor Peter Voser has an article as well...Tec Tom (talk) 16:41, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Rosengren is, as has been noted above, the CEO of a company with a revenue of USD ~28 billion (2019), ABB. He has previously served as the CEO of Wärtsilä and Sandvik. There are numerous articles about him just in the Swedish news; I've expanded the article into a very basic bio using a couple of them as sources. Passes WP:GNG with just what's been written about him in Swedish, but as Tec Tom points above (feel free to expand on what little I've done!) there's more that could be added. /Julle (talk) 17:16, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Article has been improved significantly since nomination by Eastmain. It appears the tower has since been renamed Strata Tower, perhaps the article should be moved too? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NemesisAT (talkcontribs) 18:46, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Insofar as the notability guidelines are concerned in reference to this article, in addition to the building winning multiple awards (fulfilling the "award winning" guideline), per WP:NBUILDING, it is notable in a social manner as a prominent skyscraper (the 7th tallest) in Oklahoma City (one of the 25 most populous cities in the US,) the home office of two state agencies for the state of Oklahoma and in the historical manner it is notable the headquarters of two different major oil and gas companies. Furthermore, it is featured prominently in artistic depictions of the Oklahoma City Skyline, contributing to its social importance and attesting to a non-temporary state of notability.

  • Question. Is this the equivalent of a Catholic diocese or archdiocese? Eastmain (talkcontribs) 23:57, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep a large enough institution that should have enough coverage such as this to be included with 2000 + centers,imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:52, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- According to the article the Savation Army in USA is organised into 4 territories. This one covers over 2300 separate establishments. This is certainly on a scale similar to or superior to a diocese, so that it is certainly notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:40, 12 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV. In doing WP:BEFORE search I did find some significant independent RS. A relatively detailed history of the territory is provided in Allen Satterlee, John G. Merritt, ed. (2017). Historical Dictionary of The Salvation Army. Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. pp. 587–592.. There is also some independent coverage on the territory in Chuck Munson (2013). The Salvation Army in Dallas: The Supply Chain Challenges of a Non-Profit Organization. Pearson Education. The music journal Bandmaster also has several articles on the music and bands of the central territory. Further, this source designates the regions in the same way dioceses are organized, and as such I concur with Peterkingiron that this indicates further notability.4meter4 (talk) 01:04, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Google Scholar mentions 114 works that cite this book. That's quite a lot for a work of this type. Many, perhaps more than half, of these 114 citations seem reliable and independent sources, so the only question (per WP:NBOOK) would be if at least two of them would do more than just passingly mention the book. I haven't gone through them, but I don't believe for a moment that this should not be the case. Also meets some of the special notability criteria for academic and technical books: it is quite clearly widely cited, and one or more translations of the book have been published. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 19:20, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • An English translation of Quoran, the holiest scripture of about a quarter of world's population, is an academic and technical book? TrangaBellam (talk) 19:58, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, they are often highly specialized, have small printing runs, and may only be available in specialized libraries and bookstores. Not to mention 114 citations on Google Scholar. Hey, Ali Ünal isn't the most accomplished academic for sure, but it definitely falls within the category. I know I'd be glad with 114 cites! ☿ Apaugasma (talk ) 20:12, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Let's take Haleem's translation as a benchmark. What is the citation count? More importantly, how many reviews did it get over reputed journals? If I am not wrong, it was released exactly an year earlier than Ünal's one (and has since been through three editions).
        The count of 114 is quite overestimated. As I said, it is about 30; I spotted a paragraph of discussion over here (p. 625) and nothing else of significance struck out. I have my sympathies for Ünal's fate (his article can be expanded by a lot) but at best, this can be merged with Ali Ünal. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:29, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • This shoddy but well-documented thesis (yet to be cited by anyone) might be used to add something but PhD theses don't contribute to WP:NBOOK. TrangaBellam (talk) 20:42, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for the following reasons:
  1. Just a quick search in the normal Google search, Google Books search, and Google Scholar will give you enough coverage about the notability of this book.
  2. The book has been translated into Spanish (El Sagrado Corán Y Su Interpretación Comentada) after two years of its publication, which increases its notability.
  3. Furthermore, this book has garnered some positive reviews from some academics and scholars, including: Fetullah Gülen, Bernadette Andrea, B. Jill Carroll, and others.

The parallel discussions of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable surviving veterans of World War II (2nd nomination), and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood concern similar articles and cover essentially the same ground, so in closing this discussion I have taken into account all three discussions, as well as previous AfDs.

The count of !votes has been rendered useless by, if not exactly canvassing, an influx of a large number of editors who are clearly not very familiar with either our inclusion guidelines or the deletion policy. However, while the delete side generally put forth a consistent and policy-based argument---that a list that by definition will be empty in X years cannot be encyclopaedic---the case for keeping the articles is significantly undermined by a reliance on assertions that the topic is interesting, harmless, or some other argument conventionally considered invalid at AfD.

With a few exceptions, those in favour of keep failed to either refute the argument for deletion, or put forward their own policy-based reason for keeping the article. On that basis, I see a clear consensus to delete all three lists. – Joe (talk) 07:55, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not temporary. Back when Wikipedia was founded there were quite a few surviving WW1 veterans, but now there are none. A “list of oldest living…” article is only useful for groups that are not finite in number, like “list of living centenarians”. Dronebogus (talk) 16:45, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to keep this article, the argument that there are now no WW1 veterans is irrelevant, the title includes Living and as long as there are living veterans then the article is valid.....

    • Yes, it is relevant. Articles must be about topics that will actually *exist* in the foreseeable future. There will be no more living WW2 vets in what is likely to be under a decade, thus the topic of the article will be nonexistent in the foreseeable future. Therefore the article is invalid. Dronebogus
      • Two hundred years+ later, people are still debating who the last Revolutionary War soldier was. As with the WWI article, this will eventually redirect to Last surviving veterans of insurgencies and wars page. Just because it'll be irrelevant in 10-15 years doesn't mean we should delete it now.

  • Keep How many times is someone going to nominate the article? It's interesting and relevant. Bkatcher (talk) 22:24, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • The first nomination was closed without a consensus, the second was a pile-on “keep” vote by fans of the article that had little to do with its quality, and the third was for differnt reasons than my nom and the other two. My argument is that an article with an expiration date violates the principle that notability is not finite. Also, “it’s interesting” isn’t an argument, and neither is anything you said about veterans in other wars or what happened to older articles. Dronebogus (talk) 22:52, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notability is determined by existing sources, so if there are sources that discuss this topic now it is a notable topic for an article. There are sources which discuss the topic of living WW2 veterans as a group, for example [[17]], [[18]], and [[19]]. In my opinion this article passes the notability requirements at WP:LISTN. Rhino131 (talk) 00:17, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, but I think that’s irrelevant if it violates the principle of “notability is not temporary”. If those articles were written 30 years ago about WW1 vets, would that be a reason to have an article on WW1 vets alive in the 90s? Of course not. Dronebogus (talk) 00:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's not irrelevant if it means the article passes notability requirements and GNG. Why should your argument mean mine be discounted? If an article passes GNG, it passes GNG. And I believe it does. Rhino131 (talk) 00:33, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Because my argument is also derived from the GNG, and it’s a better argument based on it. That’s how arguments work— if one person has a better argument the other is discounted. Deletion isn’t a popularity contest where all votes are equal. Dronebogus (talk) 00:36, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • From Wikipedia:Notability "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article." I argue that reliable, independent sources can be found on this topic, therefore it passes the core component of GNG. "Better argument" is not for us to decide and I leave it up to the community to gain consensus. Rhino131 (talk) 01:18, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

              • People are removed from the list if there is no recent evidence they are alive. That does not change to the notability of the article topic, which as I said it passes, and I don't feel it is a valid reason in and of itself to delete the page. Clearly we have a different opinion on this, so let's end the debate here. Rhino131 (talk) 21:00, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting the page as it approaches its peak of utility and notability would be perverse. My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:07, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • There is no realistic way human lifespan extension technology can be developed fast enough to prevent a bunch of 90-somethings from all dying within the next 15 years or so. That’s an even more absurd use of WP:CRYSTAL that’s purely in the realm of science fiction. By your logic we couldn’t write articles about future NASA missions just because aliens might hypothetically invade and wipe out life on Earth… which is still slightly more plausible then what you’re suggesting. Dronebogus (talk) 00:42, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • See sources such as Changes in life expectancy 1950–2010 which explains that "Since 1840, life expectancy of the best performing country in each year has been increasing almost linearly by 2.5 years per decade." So this has already been happening for some time. I visited my father yesterday. He lived through WW2 and is still in reasonably good health.

            • The oldest person ever was 122 when she died. In 15 years some of the youngest people on this list will be over a hundred… assuming they’re even still alive right now. And based on that calculus you provided the average lifespan of people in developed countries should increase from 85-90 to 87-92, not to over 120. Dronebogus (talk) 14:54, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Andrew - When (or if) all those on the list have died would you support a move to List of notable former surviving veterans of World War II? This would, in my opinion, show the topic meets WP:NOTTEMPORARY. Vladimir.copic (talk) 07:40, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Moves are not done by deletion. It is normal for tenses in our articles to change as events such as the Olympics move from the future to the present to the past. This is done by ordinary editing. As for WP:NOTTEMPORARY, this supports Keep because it explains that "Notability is not temporary; once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." My !vote stands. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:04, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete 1. Classic WP:LISTCRUFT. 2. A category masquerading as a list. Fails WP:LSC, the vast majority of people on this list are not notable as veterans, this is incidental to their notability. How many of people on the list are mentioned as WWII veterans in the first line of their lede? 3. As pointed out here the article should not contain "notable" in the article title. Without "notable" in the title it would clearly unmanageable as there are still millions of "non-notable" veterans (Note that it took 6 years before the article title was reverted to include "notable").

  • The entries are almost all unverifiable. We don't have any references that say these people are living, or even that they were recently alive. As far as I can tell, inclusion in this list relies on Wikipedia editors trying and failing to find obituaries for each of the more than 500 people. That's both original research and unreliable.
  • The list is an unencyclopedic cross-categorization of (a) people who are veterans of WWII, and (b) who were young at the time, and (c) who did something else notable, and (d) who are (probably) alive today. There's little connection between these categories.
  • Any notability the group has is temporary, as we know that in another decade or two there will be no living veterans and the list will be deleted. Wikipedia requires that topics have enduring significance (see WP:NOTNEWS, WP:EVENTCRIT, and WP:NOTTEMPORARY). That we (almost) all agree that this list will be deleted in the foreseeable future shows that the topic's notability isn't enduring.
  • On the surface, the argument that this will eventually evolve into a "Last surviving veterans" page is compelling, but it's inaccurate and WP:CRYSTAL. These aren't the oldest surviving veterans: it includes only notable veterans (mostly notable for something unrelated to the war). Tens of millions of soldiers fought in the war and there are certainly thousands of veterans still living. I would support creating List of last surviving veterans of World War II and populating it with, e.g. Emil Boček , Lawrence Brooks (American veteran), Benjamin B. Ferencz, John Hemingway, and Kazimierz Klimczak, but that's not this list.

That’s circular reasoning. “The article is notable because it says it is.” The problem is that these are people not notable for military service or lifespan being treated as notable for military service and lifespan just because they’re long-lived veterans who are also notable for other reasons. It’s an arbitrary cross-categorization that is more trivial than encyclopedic. Dronebogus (talk) 23:13, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • We have no idea who those people are even going to be at this point. Keeping a “waiting list” of 500+ random people who happen to have a Wikipedia article for the next 15 years waiting to find out is completely silly.

The result was delete.

The parallel discussions of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of surviving veterans of the Spanish Civil War (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of notable surviving veterans of World War II (2nd nomination), and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood concern similar articles and cover essentially the same ground, so in closing this discussion I have taken into account all three discussions, as well as previous AfDs.

The count of !votes has been rendered useless by, if not exactly canvassing, an influx of a large number of editors who are clearly not very familiar with either our inclusion guidelines or the deletion policy. However, while the delete side generally put forth a consistent and policy-based argument---that a list that by definition will be empty in X years cannot be encyclopaedic---the case for keeping the articles is significantly undermined by a reliance on assertions that the topic is interesting, harmless, or some other argument conventionally considered invalid at AfD.

With a few exceptions, those in favour of keep failed to either refute the argument for deletion, or put forward their own policy-based reason for keeping the article. On that basis, I see a clear consensus to delete all three lists. – Joe (talk) 08:00, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not temporary. A list of living former US presidents will be notable as long as the United States of America still exists, but once every actor from this era dies this article will be pointless. This list is also arbitrarily defined (when was the “Golden Age” beyond “before the Studio System fell”?) and most of the younger actors on this list are barely relevant to the era since they just debuted during the tail end of it at a young age.

  • The criteria for inclusion are an unencyclopedic cross-categorization: actors who worked during an ill-defined period who are also long-lived (although the youngest is only 65). It also favors child actors, arguably an implicit third cross-categorization. These cross-categorizations are not defining characteristics.
  • The criteria for inclusion are ambiguous. "Golden Age" isn't well-defined, as shown by this self-referential sentence: "Due to disagreement amongst editors regarding the time period of the Golden Age of Hollywood, the 302 living actors who made their credited debut after 1949 and before 1960 are listed in this section." (Ron Howard was a Golden Age actor??)
  • There's no evidence that this list is treated as a group by reliable sources. Of course some magazine or newspaper will periodically do a "where are they now" feature on some subset of the actors, but they're writing about a more specific subset and they're writing at a specific time. Reliable sources are not actively tracking this group of people.
  • Most (or perhaps all) of the entries are unverifiable. How do we know Anne Vernon (b. 1924) is alive in 2021? She hasn't had a credited role since 1972 and I don't see any recent news coverage. Our claim that she's living is based, as far as I can tell, on the absence of a published obituary. Claiming she's alive in 2021 with no supporting source is original research.
  • The list likely presents incorrect information about recently deceased people, a BLP violation. While it's one thing for a biography article to omit the person's death for a while, it's quite another for us to positively assert that a person is alive. This list of more than 400 sometimes obscure figures requires constant maintenance and cannot possibly be reliable. Betty Lou Holland, for example, remained a "living actor" for 7 months after her death. (Some of the listed actors don't even have their own Wikipedia pages!)
  • The topic is of only temporary interest. WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT make it clear that a topic must have enduring significance to be included. I presume nobody would argue in favor of a list of living English Renaissance theatre actors or a list of living MCU actors. One is TOOLATE and the other TOOSOON. This list is only interesting for a few decades: admittedly much longer than the kind of flash-in-the-pan topics we usually think of, but it's still ephemeral and lacks enduring notability.
  • The list will eventually become empty and be deleted. This is evidence that it will be non-notable in the future. WP:NOTTEMPORARY tells us that notability is permanent, so I infer that the list must not be notable today, either.

  • Comment - Maybe find a better comparison argument than list of living former US presidents. I think the maximum number of that is four, which is right now. But along those lines, any such list of living individuals for any demographic, is a dwindling list. — Maile (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not really, my point was that a list of living former presidents would *not* be a dwindling list since there would regularly be new additions, therefore it will be notable into the foreseeable future. There will never be new golden age Hollywood stars since that era ended long ago, so the list will not be notable in the foreseeable future. Dronebogus (talk) 21:05, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The bulk of these were, logically, child actors from that period who merely share longevity in common now. But that's not a defining characteristic and there's little indication that them being alive still is a notable intersection or specific group. While a List of Golden Age of Hollywood actors may be a reasonable list – though its length may be unwieldy and hard to limit to those subjectively most famous during that period – the cross-categorization of that with those who were young enough to still be alive today and still in fact are isn't encyclopedic. A "living" list for other eras or other broad occupations wouldn't make sense either (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of living silent film actors).

  • Keep A google search shows there are sources which discus the topic of living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, which indicates they are notable as a group. Also in examples such as the NY Times obit for [[23]] Olivia de Havilland it says in the lead paragraph "She was 104 and one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s fabled Golden Age", indicating these people are notable not just for being famous actors, but specifically for being long living actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I believe this article passes GNG, and therefore should not be deleted. Issues of article quality are a matter of cleanup, and AFD is not cleanup. Rhino131 (talk) 14:01, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Lol either the NYT is wrong or this article is. We don't have a good definition of the Golden Age but if we want to use this mere passing, vague statement, this page needs a narrower time span... She's notable for her acting, not for being long lived still, even if that's a true fact about her (that's the only line in the obit that would be any different had she died earlier). Reywas92Talk 14:16, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • This would be a more compelling argument if Olivia de Havilland were on this list, but of course she's not because she's dead. As time progresses this list will dwindle to increasingly obscure actors with increasingly tenuous links to the inconsistently-defined "Golden Age". The Times obituary might support a case for a List of last surviving stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood page, which could include people like de Havilland who was described as "one of the last surviving stars of Hollywood’s fabled Golden Age" in a reliable source.

      • Indeed, and as far as the nonsense that it will have to be deleted once they're all dead, see List of surviving veterans of World War I. Upon the 2012 death of Florence Green, the list was redirected to a more appropriate list, while preserving the long and interesting history of the original page. I see no reason why a similar solution wouldn't work in this case.

  • Delete: The only reasonable source I could find that discusses this list is this, which on it's own does not satisfy WP:NLIST. Then there's the obvious WP:V issue; just because you can't find any reports to say somebody has died, doesn't mean they're still alive. This list is definitively stating that every person listed is living, which is completely unverifiable, and subsequently strips the list of any encyclopaedic value. I'm also in agreement with the sentiment that any perceived notability this list has will die out with it's last member, meaning that, by definition, it's notability is only temporary. – 2.O.Boxing 13:32, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The current state of the article is not that bad and, in any case, our policy WP:IMPERFECT states clearly that "Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. ... Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome." while our policy WP:ATD states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." As for notability, this is huge. Here's an entire book of of 235 pages about the topic, for example. And there are numerous sources detailing that Superman was not alone -- see CBR, for example. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:50, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As Andrew has already stated, that the current status is less-than-perfect is no reason for deletion, if it can be improved. I wonder, was there a proper WP:BEFORE search done do ascertain the serious claim that this topic fails notability? WP:BEFORE also asks to put up tags in case of percieved issues so that an editor "may act to remedy it", not as to immediately nominate for deletion! Anyway, the suggested search from Google Scholar alone leads to a large number of hits. I would be surprised if none of those would have content contributing to notability. E.g. Superman and Philosophy has a number of distributed pieces of analysis about Kryptonian psychology, relationship to humanity, and physiology. And speaking about physiology, there is also this paper which don't quite know what to make of it :-). Daranios (talk) 15:22, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. I did find one quality RS in google books in English. Given his lengthy career with multiple notable European bands, it is likely that foreign language references exist (possibly online or behind a paywall in press or offline). However, the Dutch wiki article is mostly sourced to interviews and dead links, and there's really nothing there that we can use towards GNG or MUSICBIO. I would suggest a redirect, but with this musician being associated with multiple groups an obvious redirect isn't possible. I'm really not confident that quality sources aren't out there given that he has toured to multiple European nations where press is written in many different languages; hence the weak delete.4meter4 (talk) 17:32, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP:NBAND or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 18:53, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a solid reason to keep the band's article because notability is not inherited. The band needs evidence of notable achievements after the short-term early membership of one person who later became notable elsewhere. Also note that Meliah Rage is only listed at Erna's article very briefly with no discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:24, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reluctant Delete - Despite 30+ years and 12 albums, this band just hasn't been noticed by significant and reliable media except for some partial coverage at AllMusic. They have a robust biography there ([27]) but it ends abruptly in 2004, and some of their albums have staff-written reviews there, but not all of them. That may be enough for some voters, but with bigger-picture thinking there is very little else to work with. Otherwise they only appear in typical genre directories and I am unable to find any additional reviews of their albums outside of blogs and fanzines. Also, as commented above they are mentioned occasionally for one early member who became notable later, but that does not help this band's notability. I wish there was more to go on here, but I can't find it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:37, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I have made an effort to locate independent, reliable sources and found no significant coverage that could be used to sustain an article. Vexations (talk) 12:29, 6 September 2021 (UTC) Update: Weak keep. I still have some reservations about what we can reliably say about the subject, and an institution like the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Ateneo de Yucatán (MACAY) is really small, and I'm not 100% sure that it's all that notable, but well done finding all that. Vexations (talk) 22:26, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep . If someone can find a reliable references his work is really being in the permanent collections of Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Santiago, Chile; Museum of Modern Art, Managua, Nicaragua; Museo Nacional de Arte Contemporary y Diseño, San Jose, Costa Rica; Smithsonian Institute, Washington, DC, USA; Museo Nacional de Belles Artes, Havana, Cuba as claimed he easily passed WP:ARTIST. But personally I could not find any support for those claims. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 10:19, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Delete - I tried verifying the collections, and was unsuccessful. Does not pass WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST at this time. I did however find that he was in two group shows at the Museo de Arte y Diseno Contemporaneo in San Jose, Costa Rica, but two group shows is definitely not enough to pass notability criteria. What can sometimes be problematic, is that not all museums have digitized all of the works held in their collections; some museums have not digitized their collections at all. Nevertheless, there needs to be some sort of proof that the artist's work is in notable collections to pass #4 of WP:ARTIST. If that is found I'd be willing to change my !vote. Mahdiar86, you created the article and also nominated it for deletion, is it possible for you to shed some light on where you found the information? That might help. Netherzone (talk) 14:18, 8 September 2021 (UTC) Passes WP:NARTIST, criteria 4. Changing my !vote to K**p now that three verified collections have been found.

  • Comment. I put a note in at Possibly's talk page to do a museum archive search to see if we can verify that his work is indeed included in one of those major collections which would establish notability per criteria #4 of NARTIST.

  • Comment I was pinged here and had a look around for museum collections. I got the sense that there may be coverage out there, but that it is in Spanish and it is probably under the name Patrico Toro.
  • I verified the De Young Museum collection (see here).
  • he has personal papers in the Smithsonian Archive of American Arts: link.
  • He was in four shows at the Costa Rican Museum of contemporary art and design. His CV says he is in the collection, but no proof of that found.
  • Mentioned here as part of a Museum of Finer Arts Houston show.
Artists love to inflate their CVs with claimed accomplishments. Some collections I checked did not verify. However, in this case, more often than not, a little scraping below the surface turned up some connection to the museum in question, as above. Haven't looked at the article, so no comment beyond that. It would take more time than I have tio figure this one out, but it seems like it might be heading in the direction of being kept. --- Possibly 18:59, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Let's add the City of Berkeley to the collections list. There is also an interview at the Museum of the Yucatan. --- Possibly
There is a Spanish sculptor named Jose Manuel Patricio Toro who is not the same guy. --- Possibly 19:39, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a third collection, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Ciudad Acuña, which has no wiki page but looks legit. That makes two museums and a city with his work in permanent collections. The article needs work, but keep.
I'm not sure some of these are actually Patricio Moreno Toro. His name in short would be Patricio Moreno, not Patricio Toro. Especially that Yucatán source, isn't likely to be him (Spanish language sources will never mention him as Patricio Toro; I would expect an English language source to incorrectly name him Patricio Toro though, but I am not convinced it's the case here). BTW, the Smithsonian reference is out of question. --Bedivere (talk) 21:55, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bedivere: I saw biographies listing San Francisco, Cancun and Chile as places of residence, so they all make sense. The De Young and Berkeley collections are him without a doubt; he lived in SF. The Smithsonian AAA collection makes sense, it is an exact match for his name in the article. Here is an article in "Diario de Yucatan" that shows him, with pictures, calling him Patricio Moreno Toro, so the Yucatan link makes sense, unless there are two Patricio Toro artists in the Yucatan. If there are other links you find dubious, let me know and I will check them. I think it is pretty routine for artists to use a nom de plume/stage name, just ask Robert Allen Zimmerman, Reginald Kenneth Dwight or Declan Patrick MacManus. --- Possibly 01:35, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm conscious of the use of pen names. However, I incorrectly thought you performed the search ignoring that Moreno was his paternal surname (and so, the primary one). I have just checked the Spanish-language article and it states he also uses the "Patricio Toro" name. So, I no longer put these references in question. I still think the article is written in a promotional, non neutral way and, if kept, work should be done on it. --Bedivere (talk) 02:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

While some locations and concepts in fiction can be rescued (see Earth in science fiction), we have quite a few left over fancrufty lists left (see Template:Astronomical locations in fiction), and here's one of the worst. While this cites a few sources, as usual, 99% is actually unreferenced, and worse, the problem is that cited The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction mentions it just in passing. No source I see has even a paragraph dedicted to this star system. At best, this could be merged to the (very messy) Fomalhaut#Etymology_and_cultural_significance section (there is also the Stars_and_planetary_systems_in_fiction#Fomalhaut_(Alpha_Piscis_Austrini) which is a cool idea but realistically, a giant indiscriminate ORish list that we will need to deal with at some point...).

The work of the deputy chairman of aztv in Azerbaijan does not make it encyclopedic, because in that television the vice-chairmen change every 4 or 5 years. Doesn't meet WP:JOURNALIST or WP:GNG. --Elshad Iman (Elşad İman) (talk) 20:02, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:NJOURNALIST and WP:SIGCOV. Essentially he is a government appointed journalist (no separation of government and media in Azerbaijan), and the same said government honored him with the title "honored journalist"; an act which could be seen as nepotism and puffery. Because the honor itself is not widely recognized and lacks independence I don't think there is a good argument here for notability. This is further evidenced by the fact that the subject lacks any significant independent coverage.4meter4 (talk) 22:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Deprodded, but I concur with the PRODer (User:Calistemon; also ping User:JarrahTree and the deprodded, User:Andrew Davidson) that the coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement.

  • Delete: As per my original PROD, No indication of notability, no indication that this mine ever went into the operational stage. No such mine listed on the NSW Minerals Council Map of NSW Mines. No information on the mine on the stated owners, Yancoal, website. According to the Australian Government, it is under an exploration license only, no active mining. From this Singleton Argus article added as a source to the article by User:Eastmain, it appears even the exploration licence has expired. Additionally, the statement "one of the largest coal reserves in the world" (which was stated by User:Andrew Davidson as the reason for removing the PROD) is not mentioned in the associated reference at all and neither are the future production figures. Currently, there is no indication that this is a notable mining project at all, leave alone an active mine. Calistemon (talk) 12:35, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article correctly identifies the mine as a "a proposed coal mine". It has been a project (that is, a proposed mine) for a long time, and I think it is a notable project. Even if it is eventually abandoned for economic or environmental reasons, "once notable, always notable". I think thermal coal is a Bad Thing, but that isn't a factor in assessing notability. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 14:37, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Eastmain A, nobody has showed this was notable at any point in time. B, nobody is suggesting this should be deleted because 'coal is bad'. C, you failed to make any policy-based argument for keeping this. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:04, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Calistemon - and the fact there is nothing to indicate anything in https://trove.nla.gov.au/search?keyword.phrase=monash%20coal%20mine - a sure sign the original prod and this afd are indeed justified. There is simply not enough to justify even a 'proposed mine' article - it exists nowhere in space that would have carried WP:RS - the sources to 'carry' the article through to sustantiate an abandoned proposal do not exist.

Unreferenced article and even it's very name may be ORish.

It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with an unhelpful rationale despite the fact that I asked in my prod for a proper rationale while deprodding.

This is a web series distributed by Snapchat (although somewhat odd, the company isn't not mentioned anywhere in the article). The series is mentioned in a few reliable sources, but the mentions are not significant coverage.
