claimed to be the first Filipino to summit Mount Everest, but no other sources exist for anything else. The article is heavily WP:REFBOMBed and larded with irrelevant and exaggerated content to the point that 95% of the sources are either WP:PRIMARY or not about him at all.

- Checked the revision history and it turns out I created this entry, but it doesn't seem like the content added over the years has improved the quality of the article at all. Currently, no third-party source could reliably corroborate the claims in the entry, so I'm inclined to agree with the proposal to just delete this. 5xG (talk) 02:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete I tried to find more up-to-date information on him and could not. Basically this is a snapshot article from 10 years ago which does not give any good context on Qetrani before or since. The sourcing even 10 years ago does not distinguish him enough to justify an article, and we really need to be able to say what his current status is to justify having a BLP. He was a low level person in an insurgency that ousted the figure they were opposed to. Nothing suggesting he is actually notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:48, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

The result was keep. WP:SNOW. Copying directly from a US Government source is lazy, but allowed. For future reference, the preferred venue for copyright concerns is WP:Copyright problems rather than AfD. (non-admin closure) Curbon7 (talk) 20:23, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

The subject passes WP:POLITICIAN as a former member of the US Legislature. However, the reason I nominated this article for deletion is not about his notability. Rather, it's about my concern about copyright violations. Currently, the article has only one reference, https://bioguide.congress.gov/search/bio/H000403. When I opened it, parts of its text looked similar to the content on the Wikipedia article. After that, I decided to run some plagiarism checkers, which did not give me any useful results (Earwig's Copyvio Detector and Duplication Detector were supposed to be my best bet but were not working). Then, I came across this site, which also has text that looks similar to Wikipedia's article. Is it a WP:MIRROR though? Anyway, I decided to check the revision history of the article and saw that its first revision looks copied and paraphrased from its only source. In other words, there isn't a less-copyvio revision I could revert to. I would appreciate it if anyone (myself included) could find any unique sources.

- Keep. Bioguide.congress.gov is in the public domain because it is a work of the US federal government, so there are no copyright issues with copying from/paraphrasing it. I've added Template:Bioguide to make clear where the content came from. Famedborn.com is clearly a mirror: all of its content is taken from Wikipedia articles. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:37, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. As has been pointed out, the original source is not copyrighted as a work of the US government. Sometime there simply aren't that many ways of repeating the same biographical information... Atchom (talk) 02:26, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep members of congress are default notable, full stop. I would like to see much better sourcing. I am convinced that there will be better sourcing from contenporary sources. He is by far and away clearly notable. All members of national legislature that we can verrify we keep articles on. The style here and the sourcing need improvement, but AfD is not for cleanup.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I just found this [1] which is a published obituary for him in the New York Times. It says he was "assistant attoney general". I am not sure if that was his exact title, or if this is a reference to what he did when serving in office. I am sure we can find published references to him, since he was twice elected to congress and served in congress for 4 years. His being mayor of Jackson, Missouri, a city then of about 2,000 or a little less might not be much, but that is the county seat of Cape Girardeau County. We might be able to dig up some sources on his career even before he was elected to congress. I have improved the article a little, but it still needs a lot more. For example I can see the New York Times obituary exists, but I do not have access to it. Here [2] is the political graveyard link, but it may just be based on the congressional bio.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:09, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- I have edited the article to make it more readable. I moved from 1 paragraph after the opening to 4. I added some links, and made it more clear that Hays' moves until he went to congress all amounted to moving within the same county.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:14, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Superheroes have been in animated works, but no sources seem to discuss the overall topic of "superheroes in animation". The only sources cited are two reviews of individual shows that do not discuss the greater topic as a whole. The article is full of WP:OR by suggesting that action based cartoons like Biker Mice from Mars are "superheroes". Would suggest a merge to List of superhero television series, but every sentence of this has been unsourced since 2009. If there is a coherent topic here, then WP:TNT is the better solution.

This is the page for a musical project. While it has had several well-known guest musicians, and has produced a prolific catalogue of music, it doesn't seem to have garnered any media coverage beyond a handful of reviews in minor publications and the occasional play on specialist music shows.

The result was keep. There was consensus that this is a valid topic for a list. However, there was also consensus that the list is too inclusive - even that some items do not belong at all. After trimming the list to some criteria it is likely to be much shorter. What those criteria should be and whether the list is then short enough to be merged back in to the main article can be dealt with by ordinary editing. SpinningSpark 18:09, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

Just a list of mostly non-notable court cases. Too irrelevant to bother with a merge. There is no precedent of such a list, as it violates WP:IINFO Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

- Hmm, problematic, because as TenPoundHammer comments, there is no precedent. But the issues are (1) getting involved in litigation is a major purpose of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (which is notable and has an article), and (2) 75 of these cases have been deemed notable enough to have their own articles, but (3) the current list is misleading because on my cursory check of some items in the list, often the EFF isn't mentioned as "involved" in any formal sense, it's just expressed an opinion on the case.
- The nearest analogy I can think of is a film actor, whose output is films. We would normally list their films, either on the main article about the actor, if there are not too many, or we'd break out onto a separate list if the list becomes too long (e.g. Patrick_Stewart_on_stage_and_screen). Because the current list is malformed and over-inclusive, my feeling is delete the list, and merge very selectively any genuine cases in which the EFF played an active role into a sort of "caseography" section added to Electronic_Frontier_Foundation. There is no point in listing every case in which they've been "involved" in the sense of issuing some statement or having an opinion, because it's their job to have an opinion on every such case.

- Keep or merge Enough blue links to make it a valid list. Is every single litigation involving them notable enough to put on the list? Every major litigation would surely have coverage somewhere, especially if a big company was involved. Do we list every single litigation anyone has? I see Litigation involving the Wikimedia Foundation, Open source license litigation, and Apple Inc. litigation exist. If the cases are notable enough to have their own articles, links to them and a brief mention of them could be done on the main article. Dream Focus 18:12, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I haven't had time to look into it much, but I should note that at least some of the blue-linked articles are really only pointing to sections of other articles, because the lawsuit itself isn't sufficiently notable (e.g. Marvel v. NCSoft). VernoWhitney (talk) 18:15, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment TenPoundHammer kindly notified me of this discussion. I have no memory of starting this page (12 years ago!) and don't think this should be an independent page given the standards of wikipedia today, but I suspect many of the cases listed are notable and should be incorporated to the main article for the EFF if appropriate. AlasdairEdits (talk) 18:54, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- I largely agree with the assessment of Dream Focus. The article is currently in a shabby state, but at its core I think it has a valid topic for a standalone list (or at least a section of Electronic Frontier Foundation). I think it would be much improved with the addition of some prose for each entry, summarizing the case, and the EFF's role. Also, some secondary sourcing would be good (and it seems like plenty exists), and perhaps a little more scrutiny as to whether all these red linked cases are actually likely to be notable.

- Keep WP:NLIST says,
Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability
, and this list could be developed, perhaps with IRAC-style paragraphs for the cases, including ones without sufficient sources to warrant a standalone article. There are also already about 73 blue links in the article by my quick count, which seems like a lot to incorporate into the article. WP:NLIST also says,Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand-alone lists
, and as a group, for example, in 2006, the EFF is described by the San Francisco Chronicle as having "gone to court for hackers, programmers, inventors, challengers to patent and copyright restrictions -- for the most part, the gadflies and small fry of the computer age, confronting barriers built by government and, increasingly, by private industry", and in 2013, the EFF is described in The New York Times as "a longstanding civil liberties group that focuses on rights in the online world." The list therefore seems notable and appears to have informational, navigation, and development purposes. Beccaynr (talk) 01:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC) - Merge or weak keep The list is in questionable shape, but there is precedent for this with List of court cases involving the American Civil Liberties Union. The EFF isn't as high profile as the ACLU. But we also have a comparable list for List of court cases involving Alliance Defending Freedom, which I think still meets our bare minimum standards of notability. I take the opinion of the article creator AlasdairEdits under advisement and think that a merge could be the best path to improving this article. But otherwise, the article should be drastically rewritten and cleaned up as described by Beccaynr, with very little to WP:PRESERVE except the blue links.

Not notable. Only one review cited. Deprodded with a second "review", but perusal of that article finds it to be an editorial that talks about the book for two sentences and then wanders completely off topic for the rest of the page.

Yet another textbook example of "X in popular culture" being used to mean "literally any work of fiction that name-dropped this". Wikipedia is not TV Tropes. Examples like "a gay man is brutally murdered in a way that mirrors Matthew Shepard's death" and "Shepard's manner of death is mentioned in United States of Tara, when Marshall is cautioned about his relationship with another character" are entirely subjective Most of the examples are not cited and do not stand on their own. The few that do are already sufficiently mentioned in their own articles and/or that of Matthew Shepard. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:46, 23 April 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, this list contains mostly substantial and justifiable entries, and is long enough to remain spun out from the main article Matthew Shepard. – Fayenatic London 20:26, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- How are they "substantial" though? 99% of them are unsourced. And I just pointed out a few that have nothing to do with Matthew Shepard whatsoever and are just people claiming that it's "similar" to his situation. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:28, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- I think that this can be dealt with mostly by cleaning the article and removing anything that cannot be sourced. This should be limited to only those works that were about Shepard or where he was clearly indicated to have been an inspiration. For example, if we can find a RS where Tori Amos states that the song "Merman" is about or heavily inspired by Shepard - or that she changed it to honor him akin to "Candle in the Wind", it should be included. If it's just that she dedicated it to him, then that's not something to include since there were likely many singers who dedicated performances to Shepard, as they rightfully should. We can also help find sourcing - I started with the book section since some only have a single source and I'm finding that there's many that do appear to be quite notable. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 19:27, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Merge to article on Shepard himself, and probably limit to what is actually sourced. I see no good reason to split this off as a seperate article from the article on Shepard.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:28, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep, though cleanup is needed. Tenpoundhammer already removed some of the more major issues mentioned. There are enough rigorously verifiable cultural depictions in the article now to justify a keep, and more still to be summarized. I would support a heavy trim of the TV and Music sections, which appear largely unsourced and unexplained. But, part of Shepard's notability is his ongoing inspiration of a vast amount of art. More than twenty years later, this legacy is receiving ongoing coverage in reliable sources. This article is a list by another name, and the list's grouping is covered extensively by reliable sources. Much of the unverified content I spot-checked is verifiable, and I wasn't looking at the works that seem obviously connected, with Shepard's name or Laramie in the title.

"so much art"
; goes on to list some - Wyoming Public Media:
"Shepard's death compelled a lot of artists to respond in unique ways over the past twenty years. There are countless paintings, musical interpretations, poems, and theatre."
It goes on to list many, including a passing mention of the Six Feet Under episode TPH removed (not enough to truly verify, though) - WBUR lists a few, saying Shepard
"inspired an outpouring of responses from artists over the past 19 years"
- Global News:
"His story also spawned several plays and films — including the acclaimed The Laramie Project and the made-in-Toronto TV movie The Matthew Shepard Story — and inspired songs by artists like Elton John and Melissa Etheridge."

DMySon (talk) 07:51, 25 April 2022 (UTC)- I can view a different FT article on ProQuest, where she is quoted for her expertise: "Hindu nationalists take aim at Bollywood" (Oct 17, 2020, e.g. discussing the BJP and Bollywood, "...said Shubhra Gupta, author of 50 Films that Changed Bollywood.") I'm not able to view the Foreign Policy article, but The Hindu seems like more than a passing mention because it is a paragraph about her, in the context of the commentary of the larger article.

- Keep per WP:BASIC - I updated the article to add two book reviews and two interviews with some independent content, and verification of her appointment to the Central Board of Film Certification. I have found research challenging because on both GNews and ProQuest, results are flooded with hits to her own work as a critic. However, she is quoted as an expert in a variety of sources and has received critical attention for her work, including in the notable award, so WP:BASIC notability as a film critic appears to be sufficiently supported.

- Fundamentally, the core purpose of a Wikipedia list is to help people find Wikipedia articles. To be fair, a list doesn't necessarily always have to be completely bluelinked entries — in a closed-ended and finite list, such as a list of mayors of a place, there is value in the list being complete even if not everybody in it actually has an article to link to — but a list does always still need to have at least some bluelinked entries in it to be justifiable.

- Weak delete. There's at least one reliable book that actually covers the mayors of Jackson County, Missouri as if they are one coherent topic (The History of Jackson County, Missouri (1881)), but the County is not the city of Jackson (they are on opposite sides of the state). This indicates that the sourcing to justify WP:NLIST might exist if it's a sizeable city and it makes me somewhat hesitant to pull the trigger on delete because I suspect that there's some newspaper articles or books that might give a history of the mayors. But, I'm not able to find them, and neither are the people above, so deletion seems like the policy-compliant outcome. — Mhawk10 (talk) 01:50, 30 April 2022 (UTC)

I fail to see the rationale for this list's component sublists, and therefore this page. It's hopelessly incomplete because there are a lot of actresses in the 100+ year history of cinema, so a violation of WP:SALAT, i.e. "lists that are too general or too broad in scope".

- Keep per WP:NCRIME. The event has been covered by multiple sources and is not just a routine crime (after all, it is a murder). It has also gained significant coverage from multiple reliable sources, including the BBC, AP News, and the Bangkok Post. Also, notability is not temporary. Once an event has gained significant coverage, it is notable. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:A1C1:3A98:A9E5:AD32 (talk) 20:55, 8 April 2022 (UTC)

Media sources sometimes report on events because of their similarity (or contrast, or comparison) to another widely reported incident. Editors should not rely on such sources to afford notability to the new event, since the main purpose of such articles is to highlight either the old event or such types of events generally.

Of the five sources currently cited, two are from IMDB, two are primary, and the last appears to be a list, not of which contribute to notability.

No professional appearances to date so would have failed under the old WP:NFOOTBALL guideline. Arabic searches in Google News, Google and DDG yield nothing of note so I'm not seeing a WP:GNG pass. I've also checked all of the foreign language Wikipedia articles and can't see any indications of notability there either. Given that the article has lasted such a long time across multiple versions of Wikipedia, I believe that there must be some reason for the article but I can't find anything so sending to AfD to get proper consensus on this one.

This is a mess, starting from the unclear issue of whether this article covers one person or is a mix of biographies of two (a financial executive and a ultimate frisbee player). 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 (biographies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar. References are mostly press releases, the BBC piece doesn't seem to mention him, and the best we have are the passing mentions in a New Yorker piece. His biggest award, as reported, is the Ulimate Frisbee Hall of Fame inclusion: [11] but that doesn't seem sufficient IMHO for NBIO criteria of a major award/recognition. Thoughts?

- Redirect to World Flying Disc Federation. Rauch's career in finance seems to have received hardly any coverage in reliable sources at all, so his only real claim to notability is his involvement in flying-disk-related sports. Since WP:NSPORTS doesn't cover this field, we're left with the GNG/WP:NBIO. My searches found many articles in which reliable sources quoted Rauch or mentioned him in passing, but they do not "address[] the topic directly and in detail". The best I could find was [12], which is of uncertain reliability and, in any event, does not discuss Rauch in enough depth to contribute to notability. A redirect seems like a reasonable alternative to deletion; there are several possible targets, but World Flying Disc Federation, where he's mentioned, strikes me as the best one since sources commonly refer to him as "Robert Rauch, the president of the WFDF", or something like that.

- Delete. The Spanish version of the article is 100 times better -- more informative, more interesting, better illustrated. If someone had the energy to translate it into English (I don't, not at this moment, anyway) it could be a useful article. At the moment it's fit only for the garbage bin. Nonetheless, I have a question for more experienced editors: suppose I find the time and energy to make a new article heavily based (>90%) on the Spanish article, how should I acknowledge that?
