Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2022 December 20

- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was keep. The "keep" !voters have presented a reasonable (if borderline WP:IAR) argument that having some mention of the primary auto-related meaning of "downshift" at the Downshift article will benefit readers more than having it redirect to the lifestyle article, as a literal application of disambiguation guidelines would require. Thus I have given roughly equal weight per !vote to both sides, and so the numerical majority holds. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:57, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

This was recently created as the outcome of this RFD, however this is not a valid dab page. The first entry is a WP:DICDEF and the linked article doesn't say more than the dab page. The link in the second entry does not mention these fiction characters at all, so it doesn't meet MOS:DABMENTION. That leave just Downshifting (lifestyle) which should move to Downshifting, with this title redirecting there. MB 23:48, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

- MB, you could have just asked for the RfD to be reopened instead of revisiting the same issue in a new AfD? – Uanfala (talk) 00:55, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I concur with everyone else in the recently closed RfD that this term is better disambiguated. The dab page has at least two valid entries. One of them is Downshifting (lifestyle) (whose title is the result of a 2017 RM). The second one is for the shift of transmission into a lower gear. This is valid as well: it is significant enough for participants in the linked RM to believe it to have been the primary topic. But regardless, Wikipedia is expected to provide definitions of common technical terms (that's the whole purpose of a big corner of the encyclopedia!). The fact that this definition will be short does in no way mean that we should stop providing navigation for this term. Also, I don't see a primary topic here, at least with respect to usage: Downshift and Downshifting used to redirect to Manual transmission: in October they were visited 123 times, and in this period, the hatnote link to the lifestyle article was followed 62 times). I'm less certain about the third dab entry. There used to be a separate article about it at Downshift (Transformers), but it got redirect to an article that itself eventually got redirected to Transformers: Energon, which has a mention (and nothing more than a mention) of this character. – Uanfala (talk) 00:55, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - I'm not sure why I was notified of this on my talkpage but not AjaxSmack who wrote most of it (and I have now notified on talk page). Courtesy ping to Sable232 who also partook in the RfD discussion, and TartarTorte who closed it. A7V2 (talk) 06:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Weak delete - I supported the proposed disambiguation page since it was better than the status qua (significantly so) due to the lack of discussion about downshifting at the old redirect target. But reading what the nom has said, I tend to agree. Even with the recent addition, this article consists of a dictionary definition with a link to an article that uses the term just once and is in no way describing what it is, a character who has a redirect that should be deleted, and isn't even mentioned at the suggested article, and a term which might as well move back to the parent, non-disambugated title. And then in the see also we have a redirect to an article where that term isn't mentioned. This page is certainly of highly questionable utility for aiding searches (which is what disambiguation pages are meant to be for). A7V2 (talk) 06:36, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep I don't really love how the page isn't completely within the rules of a DAB, but I think there still is the issue of someone wanting to find information about downshifting that isn't related to the lifestyle if this is deleted and Downshifting (lifestyle) were moved here. It might be best to change the entry from propulsion transmission to engine braking as that is more conceptually related to downshifting, but there still isn't a ton of information about it here. Fundamentally the issue seems to be that the concept of downshifting with relation to cars is one that probably fits somewhere in an encyclopedia, but is not included in wikipedia in a way that can be appropriately dabified. This is a bit of a WP:IAR argument, but it just seems like the way to direct people best where they want to go. TartarTorte 14:13, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Weak keep - It doesn't fit the norm of a dab page, but it seems the most helpful solution for a reader searching the term. According to the article that existed at this title years ago for the Transformers characters, two come from the comic book series and one from a cartoon as a minor character, so there doesn't seem to be a single good place to link that entry to. --Sable232 (talk) 00:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Just a note: I don't see anything in the dab guidelines precluding this dab page. MOS:DABMENTION was quoted above, but it only rules out the fictional character, not the other two entries. – Uanfala (talk) 00:49, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- The first entry fails MOS:DABMENTION as well. There is no article on Downshifting, and the linked article does not discuss it either. That article is about transmissions, and it assumes the reader already knows what (up)shifting and downshifting mean. There are several other articles that mention downshifting in the same way Double clutching (technique), Direct-shift gearbox, Heel-and-toe shifting, Motorcycle transmission, Engine braking, but none that provide real explanation. Linking to any of these is no better or worse. Note that shifting does not get you anywhere that talks about operating a transmission; there is no reason why downshifting must. MB 03:26, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- The target article may (or may not) need to explicitly define (rather than just use) that term, but the dab page entry itself provides that definition and the article provides enough context for readers to learn about the mechanics of it. MOS:DABMENTION says
If a topic does not have an article of its own, but is discussed within another article, then a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader.
I reckon that the main reason we disagree here is because you see this entry as not providing value to the reader, and I'd venture to guess that's because you assume that it represents an everyday meaning of the word that readers will all be familiar with. – Uanfala (talk) 23:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

- Keep, there is also frequency downshifting which is a notable topic but we don't have an article on it yet ... SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 00:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. I'm sympathetic to the points made by the nominator, however, this page wasn't created by some random contributor. Its existence is due to the outcome of another process which was closed as disambiguate and that's a !vote which is neither counted nor refuted sufficiently in this process. That there is an opportunity to add Frequency downshifting in the future gives this da page more ground upon which to stand in the future. It is entirely possible somebody will write a downshift article as well. Wikipedia has only had twenty years to cover most subjects. BusterD (talk) 01:43, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Clear notability claim as the first female CEO in the 159-year history of The Co-operative, and one of only a handful of women CEOs of FTSE 100 and equivalent firms in the United Kingdom. We do need to exercise care in evaluating sources, given that (like many big-company CEOs) she gives a lot of interviews, but the December 2022 article in The Grocer presents several paragraphs of background on Khoury-Haq plus some hard-hitting observations about her business decisions (in addition to quoting her directly and indirectly, which we have to discount); the Financial Times article in August 2022 when she was confirmed as permanent CEO offers a couple more facts about Khoury-Haq compared to what was in the Co-op's own press release, suggesting that they did a bit of their own research; and while the Mirror generally needs to be treated with scepticism, the March 2022 article actually offers some factual information and details about her which isn't noted elsewhere (in addition to the interview part about racism she and her family have experienced). There is also the rather impressive November 2022 article in The Sunday Times, but in terms of actual information included about Khoury-Haq herself, it's not that much beyond confirming she's the first female Co-op CEO since 1863, and the personal story about cutting back on her daughters' Christmas presents this year. (The Evening Standard article is a straight Q&A interview, so it definitely doesn't count.) At the moment we still have to stitch together the pieces in order to make the case for notability in the Wikipedia sense, but at the very least, it satisfies WP:BASIC.

Sourcing is almost entirely based on websites that just list his credits; any more in-depth articles focus on a band he was in, which doesn't confer notability to him. Worth noting that the main author, 1sjjmhbt0 (talk · contribs), is an apparent SPA; given that the subject's website prominently promotes his Wikipedia article, a COI wouldn't shock me (1sjjmhbt0, I hope I'm wrong; your feedback on this would be much appreciated).

- Update: I checked File:Hugh Elliott2.jpg, and the author says "Hugh Elliott" but links to 1sjjmhbt0. Seems like a pretty clear COI to me; 1sjjmhbt0 (Hugh), if you cannot explain this behavior, WP:COIN would be the next step. RunningTiger123 (talk) 22:26, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for pinging - def needs updating. I built this way back and haven't given a close look since, but it has apparently stood the test of time (11 yrs?). Inspired by what I viewed as valid notoriety deserving of a wiki. "The band" created music that helped advance jazz. Publications like Boston Globe and Jazz Times don't review just any CD - they not only reviewed but applauded. Also, reaching #1 on the college music charts is highly significant. Some of these ref links directly cite Hugh Elliott, but need to be updated - they have since changed, modernized to require logins, etc. This seems the primary issue. Ref 1 is the actual Emmy Nomination release, which can be reffed on Emmy's official site. The nom is additionally corroborated by IMDB, data one is not able to self-submit; cannot fake. This seems to validate edit/production accomplishment(s), Deadliest Catch and Discovery. Which then, it seems, further validates full body of IMDB page/credits. To avoid rights issues, the pic is self-owned; safe from rights violations. In that personal site links to wiki... not seeing how this justifies concern. Again, will work to update cited refs asap. Further advice welcome. 76.86.24.62 (talk) 14:49, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- If you're looking for additional advice, I would suggest WP:N for a discussion of notability requirements (including what significant coverage means) and WP:IMDB for why IMDb is discouraged. Also, if you are Hugh or are related to Hugh personally, I strongly urge you to read through WP:COI (especially WP:DISCLOSE and WP:SELFPROMOTE) before making edits. RunningTiger123 (talk) 15:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hey all, Hugh here. I recommend you go ahead and blast it - do what's best for wiki. In my world there's just not the time or resources to place care on this right now. Thanks for working hard to keep wiki clean.

A very WP:FRINGE topic of minor historical interest at best; basically nobody other than Varshni ever published on this (in the 70s and 80s), and it's been quite reasonably ignored by the rest of the field. The article has no good secondary sources (they're all dead links), only papers by Varshni. It was originally created by a now banned user (User:Plautus satire) who pushed a lot of pseudoscience before getting banned for sockpuppetry and personal attacks.

Small company with no notability, almost completely written with sources from the company itself and in advertising style. Google almost doesn't know the company with exactly 15 (!) hits for the original German name [1] and 19 für the English [2], some of which come from Wikipedia and WikiCommons. Some of the (few) independent sources used to write the article don't even mention the company (e.g. [3] and therefore the article basically just presents the views of the company itself, while the role of one rare independent example (a short study for the German Bundestag) is not only presented twice, but also grossly exaggerated. (It only uses the company to explain some rather trivial information which could also have been found in the Wikipedia). Please also note that there is the possibility for paid contend, as the company declared: "Companies are included in the world's largest encyclopedia if they either generate more than 100 million euros in annual sales or if they simply deserve to be mentioned. We are therefore very pleased to be included in this group. In the following months, the entry in Wikipedia, which is currently only available in German, will also be translated into other languages. Furthermore, additional categories and links to the individual rare earths, base metals and secondary metals are created." [4] That's exactly what happened in the German Wikipedia, where about 25 paragraphs with clearly advertising content have been added in ever rare earth article and some others, where there was even less connection to that company. Therefore there has been a unanimously consensus (everyone except the author) to delete that entry, which has been done today, see [5]. Andol (talk) 19:41, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

- The delete request is a transfer of the deletion action in the German to the English Wikipedia.
- The aspect of "advertising" has already been dealt with here and accepted as settled after appropriate revision.
The "small company", which does not need any advertising or promotion (only a few entries in google), gets its importance from worldwide active subscribers, who access its paid database 4,500 to 5,000 times a day. ISE consequently achieves little public attention and thus a presentation relies on self-disclosure. Statements from a website can of course be based on information and are not automatically "advertising".
- The pleased reaction of the company ISE to the article in the German Wikipedia was not the result of a demand by the author - that there should be links to and from other articles is required by the WP (No orphan). The company will quickly realize that it is not allowed to do translations into other languages itself. As an author, I was interested in getting to know the working methods, formal rules and customs of the English Wikipedia with the entry of ISE.
- The mentioned source [3] (NZZ) has the purpose to describe the transit trade in Switzerland and not to name ISE. This should be understandable from the context.
- The eightfold mention of ISE as a source for mostly comprehensive contributions or quotations in the report of the Wissenschaftlicher Dienst des Deutschen Bundestags is not a trifle, but a high-profile publication that values the exclusive expertise of the institute and was produced to inform the parliament and federal institutions about the international commodity situation on REE and lithium. [Report of the Bundestag WD 5 - 3000 - 003/2022 on the resource rare earths: Wissenschaftlicher Dienst des Bundestags 03-2022 Retrieved September 01, 2022.] There is hardly any better evidence of unique relevance, which also allows the German WP regulations to omit the 100 million Euro turnover limit for companies.
- Innovative is also the contribution of the ISE to a quite probable stability in the world trade (as a further criterion of this turnover exemption), by means of the daily determination and publication of the current prices of thousands of substances as well as the offer of a purity certification for serious transactions.

- Delete. Zero hits on Google news, Zero hits on Wikipedia library, Zero hits in Google books. Seems not notable. The long and comment that lacks a vote and doesn't refer to a single policy or guidance is not convincing. CT55555(talk) 04:30, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- You just keep claiming that the company is very important. Because of the database and the role in the market and such thing. However, there is absolutely no evidence of that. Nothing in the article (or the internet) makes that claim plausible. Where does it even come from? It has to be from the company itself, as there are no independent sources writing something like that. That's not how Wikipedia entrys are written. We cannot just take the company's self-promotion that it's incredibly important, because it says so. We need independent sources. But in the entry there are almost no independent sources, almost everything comes from the company itself. It's just ISE, ISE, ISE, and if you take that out, there would be next to nothing left. Which is clear, given the fact that Google knows next to nothing about that company. That's why the entry has been deleted in the German Wikipedia minutes after becoming eligible, with a clear consensus (everyone with the exemption of you). And please don't claim the short piece from the Wissenschaftlicher Dienst des Bundestages makes the company notable, because that is "a high-profile publication". It's far from that. That organization gets thousands of request every year and then writes short pieces of information. It's not a key study or exhaustive or lengthy report commissioned by the parliament, its a short compilation of some basic information to inform one or a few members of parliament. Being mentioned in such a short piece doesn't make a company notable, especially since the information the report took from the company was quite trivial and could have been easily taken from the Wikipedia, too. Andol (talk) 23:12, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- Andol's data is unreliable. Thus, the article in the German Wikipedia was not deleted immediately, but after 7 days of discussion. The Scientific Services (see German WP "Wissenschaftliche Dienste") receive thousands of requests from parliaments worldwide, employ 64 people and award three media prizes. The dilemma here lies elsewhere: First, representations of a website are not automatically "advertising". I have only checked and taken over information for customers, which must and are absolutely serious with the high costs for the subscriptions. To deliver prices for 5,000 substances daily is an extraordinary achievement. Insight into this area should be convincing: ( https://ise-metal-quotes.com/ ) Secondly, Wikipedia's relevance criteria, which demand neutral newspaper articles with mention of names, are the problem. (Two years ago still as e. V. the institute would have been taken in the de-WP without circumstances). There are a number of articles that use price information (also over time) from ISE, but do not mention the source institute. Journalists are not obliged to do this! But "uniqueness" is also a valid reason for WP - if you accept that they don't lie and have 4-5,000 hits daily. I myself am a new author of en-WP, but with my expertise on these commodities so crucial today and the increasing reflection on the situation, it would not remain with this article. Based on the ISE sources, one could update many Wikipedia articles. GerhardSchuhmacher (talk) 01:40, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Please do yourself a favour and familiarise yourself with the relevant guidelines: WP:GNG. Once you do so, you will see that nothing in your long comments here is relevant. You would need to show us that independent reliable sources have written about the organisation in significant detail. It seems like they have not. And it doesn't matter how important you think they are, it matters how much they made the news, or academic literature, or books. CT55555(talk) 02:00, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- The article got eligible to be deleted after 7 days, as usual, yes. And it was deleted 21 minutes after midnight, which is "minutes after becoming eligible", isn't it? So which data from me isn't reliable? There was also at least one contributor that criticized me for not pushing for a speedy deletion, while there was absolutely no one of more than half a dozen editors who saw even a tiny bit of notability. the point is: There is almost no sources that even describes the company. The whole article is based on inside data from or strong opinions on that company. But that's not how articles can be written. You can claim the company is extremely important, as you do, but it just doesn't matter, because we need independent sources to conform that, not your word or your opinion, that you think so. If you delete every piece of information that isn't proven by independent sources, the whole article shrinks to a few words. And unfortunately that is NO exaggeration. Andol (talk) 20:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

If you delete every piece of information that isn't proven by independent sources, the whole article shrinks to a few words. And unfortunately that is NO exaggeration. Andol (talk) 20:29, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Please do yourself a favour and familiarise yourself with the relevant guidelines: WP:GNG. Once you do so, you will see that nothing in your long comments here is relevant. You would need to show us that independent reliable sources have written about the organisation in significant detail. It seems like they have not. And it doesn't matter how important you think they are, it matters how much they made the news, or academic literature, or books. CT55555(talk) 02:00, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Andol's data is unreliable. Thus, the article in the German Wikipedia was not deleted immediately, but after 7 days of discussion. The Scientific Services (see German WP "Wissenschaftliche Dienste") receive thousands of requests from parliaments worldwide, employ 64 people and award three media prizes. The dilemma here lies elsewhere: First, representations of a website are not automatically "advertising". I have only checked and taken over information for customers, which must and are absolutely serious with the high costs for the subscriptions. To deliver prices for 5,000 substances daily is an extraordinary achievement. Insight into this area should be convincing: ( https://ise-metal-quotes.com/ ) Secondly, Wikipedia's relevance criteria, which demand neutral newspaper articles with mention of names, are the problem. (Two years ago still as e. V. the institute would have been taken in the de-WP without circumstances). There are a number of articles that use price information (also over time) from ISE, but do not mention the source institute. Journalists are not obliged to do this! But "uniqueness" is also a valid reason for WP - if you accept that they don't lie and have 4-5,000 hits daily. I myself am a new author of en-WP, but with my expertise on these commodities so crucial today and the increasing reflection on the situation, it would not remain with this article. Based on the ISE sources, one could update many Wikipedia articles. GerhardSchuhmacher (talk) 01:40, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete all sources found are PR material published as such. Perhaps being an "informal network of xxxx" as the article suggests is the reason why we can't find RS, who knows. It's a delete, as it's not at GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 15:07, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- The matter stands with regular rules against the association, which became an AG ("public limited company") only because of the cooperating storage company two years ago. I still see the work of ISE as valuable - price trends over decades are also documented there. (US/China crisis). And the "self-presentation" seemed to me like a professional instruction manual. But the information based on it could be removed, the article "minimized". With the history of development "according to its own information", a sentence on the structure and the preservation of the "reception". I received information that there is still a newspaper interview with the CEO, perhaps with frame data. When I receive the article, I'll enter a minimized version for viewing here on Saturday. GerhardSchuhmacher (talk) 21:24, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- I've pointed out the relevant sections from NCORP below. The sourcing fails NCORP criteria for establishing notability. You mention stuff such as the company providing a valuable service but that is simply your opinion and no Independent commentator has researched his company and come to the same conclusion. Have any industry analysts researched and published a report on the company? This often happen with publically quoted companies but I am unable to locate any reports at all. You also say that you've received information about an interview with the CEO - just beware that there's a good chance that if the article does not contain any "Independent Content" and simply relies on the CEO or the company for the information with no independent analysis/research/etc, then that article likely fails ORGIND.

- Delete This is a company/organization therefore WP:NCORP guidelines apply, not just GNG as some !voters have pointed to above. To meet our guidelines for inclusion, we require in-depth and significant content from independent source. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* source must meet the criteria for establishing notability - so the quantity of "coverage" isn't relevant, nor can we combine a little bit from source one with a little bit from source two and say "that'll do". Most importantly for this topic organisation, we need sources containing "Independent Content". which must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Between CORPDEPTH and ORGIND, these sources fail. We've got regurgitated company PR/information or official publications of information (which was provided by the company). Topic therefore fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:37, 24 December 2022 (UTC)

Was seemingly closed as "no consensus" earlier today, which is questionable when the weight of argument was in favour of deletion. None the less, the viability and determined notability of this subject has not been decided upon.
There was just a single additional reference added during the last afd, while none of the current references meet WP:SIGCOV. We cannot use database entries or one-word mentions on an article about a different subject to assert notability. Likewise, actors who may be notable for their work outside of this show do not make this show notable merely by their participation.
Anyone wishing to !vote keep should read the previous afd and demonstrate with evidence why this is a notable show. This evidence was not offered during the last afd. Bungle (talk • contribs) 19:08, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

While I did disagree, not to the point of challenging a relister and a closer with what seemed a balanced discussion. RENOM is an essay and I am aware of the guidance of a delay and the reasons offered. If there is another expression, like your own, to take to DRV instead then that'll be something to consider. Bungle (talk • contribs) 08:52, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. I would vote delete, but per WP:RENOM (yes it's an essay),
If the XfD discussion was closed as “no consensus”, generally do not renominate the page for at least two months.
Bungle, I agree with your insightful analysis per the previous AfD, but given that AfD is just recently closed discussion here would likely lead to the same result. If it is the case that this AfD can proceed, no worries, but if it's procedurally closed my advice is wait for two months preferably. Thanks. VickKiang (talk) 20:37, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete as a BLP with virtually no sourcing. A working actor with credits. Notability of this subject is not asserted or proved by applied sourcing. One of the links appears to be a business card with phone numbers. The only significant coverage is routine industry news from The Hindu and that's almost entirely an interview. It is possible RSs exist on this seasoned TV actor but my reasonable BEFORE doesn't find anything which is better than what is already applied. This is a BLP; we can't just treat a IMDB listing as a model for biography, as it seems to be in this case. BusterD (talk) 01:07, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Non notable online educational platform. Promotional article. There is no significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Most of sources are interview, press release and about an actor who joined as brand campaign. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NCORP.

So, in the interests of that, I agree with other delete !voters that a lot of the sourcing for this seems more like wire-service puffery than anything that really establishes notability, and there are large stretches without any sourcing. Further, much of it is peacockery.

- Oppose delete. The content shouldn't be deleted given the coverage. However, I increasingly think the best way to deal with Division II programs is to create conference/season articles, in this case 2022 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference football season. Compare 2022 Gulf South Conference football season, 2022 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football season, and 2022 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference football season.

Of the sources that aren't just Apple Music links, there's #9 which is an interview with no secondary source material; #10 which is a tabloid reporting on an Instagram post teasing the album without any substantial information on it; #11 and #13 are about her appearance on a TV show (At least I think that's what it is) which hardly say anything about the album or its songs; and #14 and #15 are about singles from the album but without saying anything about the album itself that isn't a quote from the artist in the latter. #12 shows that one of the singles charted, though not particularly impressively. Worth keeping in mind the part of WP:GNG that says "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability," relevant here as aside from the charting, the rest of those sources are all from two websites which are both at least questionably reliable. Couldn't find anything else in my search. Album does not appear to have any articles in other languages. Redirect to Nikolija (singer). QuietHere (talk) 15:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

- Correction: #11 is about Nikolija recording a song/music video together with Amna Alajbegović who is the winner of what I'm guessing is a TV series called IDJShow. #13 is about Nikolija performing at a music festival called Music Week. I got really mixed up there. It's still the case that neither make significant mention of the album though so my point still stands. QuietHere (talk) 15:34, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Books reviews may add to a book's notability, but not necessarily to the author without showing how and why the book is significant.

Appears to be a non-notable town. Possibly a ghost town or a hoax as the location the coordinates take me to is just a random piece of African land by a river with no signs of any sort of civilization. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:44, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

- comment - Mmm. Well something has gone wrong here - I agree that there doesn't seem to be anything near the given coordinates based on the satellite images. On the other hand, our colleagues at wiki Masry have a more extensive page including photos of the train, so it seems that they think there is something there. Might be helpful to find someone who can read their page to assist. JMWt (talk) 17:07, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- I saw those images when I googled it which confused me since the coordinates don't show anything and looking up the town on Google Maps goes to the exact same location. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:47, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - looking back through my photos that I took in 2008, there's a station there (see Google satellite view here) but not much else. There were some rough shacks at the station. The only citable information I can find is in Eritrean Narrow Gauge An Amazing Reinstatement by Don Mitchell (Middleton Press 2008, ISBN 978-1-906008-38-3), photo 1.38 which describes Baresa as "a busy place where local activity is manifest." So all I can say is that there is something there, so it's not a hoax, but it's hardly a town either. Perhaps calling it a settlement would be better if the article is kept. I'm not going to !vote either way. — Voice of Clam 18:01, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

- The only issue I still see would be the coords. The place they go doesn't indicate there's anything there and there's nothing around other than a railroad it appears. I'm unable to view the ref but everything else I'm finding is just a name drop. If more sources can be found and the coordinates corrected than that's fine. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 20:19, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:17, 20 December 2022 (UTC)This page has had a notability tag on it for over a decade, has been prodded twice and multiple people on the talk page have questioned whether this author is actually notable, so I think it's about time it was brought to AFD so a discussion can be had. This author is best known for writing some really poorly received Warhammer 40,000 video game tie in novels, which made them the subject of much derision and mockery on sites like 4chan. What I don't see here is any evidence that this has translated into any kind of coverage that would confer wikipedia notability.
The author does not appear to meet any of the notability criteria at WP:NAUTHOR and furthermore does not appear to have attracted any kind of coverage that would suggest they pass WP:NBASIC. Doing a bit of searching around turns up a fair few results from Warhammer 40,000 fan sites, forums and wikis, but that is hardly the kind of coverage that demonstrates notability or that would be required to write a BLP. The article as it stands has no citations, and the only external links are to games workshop companies and databases.

- Janet Davison, reporting for CBC News online on Nov 13, 2022 4:00 AM, quotes the subject's professional review first among several quoted:
- "After weeks of anticipation, along with longstanding controversy over mixing royal fact and fiction, Season 5 of The Crown started streaming onto viewers' screens this week and landed to decidedly mixed reviews.
- Still, some themes seemed to emerge, including a sense that this season may lack some of the lustre of previous seasons of the award-winning Netflix drama that offers a fictionalized version of real-life events that unfolded in the House of Windsor during Queen Elizabeth's reign.
- "Season 5 is replete with terrific performances, especially from actors in recurring roles, but it's no longer enough," Nandini Balial wrote on RogerEbert.com. "Writer and creator Peter Morgan's vision, like the monarchy circa 1990, is showing signs of strain."
- "I can forgive The Crown for jazzing up the facts — but not for being so horribly clunky," ran the headline over an opinion column from The Guardian's former royal correspondent, Stephen Bates.
- The Telegraph gave Season 5 two stars out of five, and noted that "Peter Morgan's Netflix drama began as a love letter to the late Queen. These days, he's wielding his poison pen."
- On this side of the Atlantic, the New York Times found "Season 5 doesn't have the life, the hard snap, of The Crown at its best."
- Others were more impressed. "The palace intrigue of The Crown will hold you spellbound," Good Morning America headlined its review, and said the latest season is "more audacious and addictive than ever."

- Weak Keep: This writer strikes me as only barely notable; almost all online references to her are within her own articles. However, we have a large number of brief writer biographies from the significant publications she's written for ([11], [12], [13], [14]). However, these sources and those already discussed only enable her to barely skirt the notability standards due to the likely non-independent character of the sources I've linked and the offline character of those mentioned by Kgayle. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

This is a mostly unreferenced list of all media mentioning The Scarlet Letter, violating WP:NLIST, WP:GNG, WP:IPC, WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTTVTROPES and WP:OR, as well as likely some other policies or best practices. Note that this was split off from the main article, where there is an unreferenced tiny section The_Scarlet_Letter#Adaptations_and_influence. Undeniably, the topic (adatpation and influences of TSL) is an important one, but this is not how to go about writing what should be a reliably referenced prose section, no a kitchen-and-sink OR collection of trivia.

Ref 2 is an interview that is likely non-independent and non-secondary, ref 3 is written by Kim herself, ref 4 is a non-RS Blogger blog mentioning Kim once, ref 5 is a non-SIGCOV news announcement quoting Kim's experience in a gas leak, ref 6 is a trivial mention; all of the refs I found per WP:BEFORE, e.g., 1, 2, appear to be trivial and non-SIGCOV. Kim's roles are also minor or in non-notable shows/films/shorts, failing NACTOR. VickKiang (talk) 06:34, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NTOUR. The only sources available on the article are fansites for the musician. From recent events, it seems to be a back-and-forth on the article needing to be kept or redirected, when it has already been told that it has to be redirected due to the policy of WP:NTOUR. There are other sources, yes, but they are not enough that would follow that policy as most of them discuss only that the tour happened but do not take in the examples on artistic approach, relationship with audience or financial success.

This particular tour got real media coverage in its day, and is described in reliable histories of Prince's career. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - This tour is one of Prince's most notable tours during his career, I've been the main editor of the page for about a couple of months now trying to clean it up. Thank you for the two editors who have gave their creditable sources other than my attempt to draw "creditable" sources from what I could find so far. It should definitely stay along with Prince's tours that are talked about during his career. Another notable tour of his that has since been deleted off the Wikipedia page is the Lovesexy Tour.

- I am the one who is to blame for all this mess so please listen to me before you remove the page. I had tried to add some edits a couple days ago. The edits have been removed. I am not talking about that right now. I respect those reasons and that's why I haven't tried to edit anything else. I am a different person to the one who originally created the first article and you are naming him/her a "sock puppet" probably because you think that I am a "sock puppet". We are 2 different persons.
- John Phillip Shenale has a music career expanding over many decades with colaborations from well know musicals such as footloose, little shop of horors up to the soundtrack of sons of anarchy which was not only succesful for its plot as a TV series but for its soundtrack as well. (He is a prominent member of the band called The Forest Rangers which is behind all those succesful covers along with the actress/singer Katey Sagal)

Article about former semi-pro footballer which fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Online coverage is routine/trivial stuff like this match preview, which fails far short of WP:SIGCOV.

David Weintraub seems to primarily be known as a talent manager/agent, having celebrity friends and for working on a variety of reality shows. But besides the two sources listed (one passing mention but the LA Times cite is decent), a quick search came up with other individuals who share his name and his LinkedIn profile (and a sexual assault charge).

The result was delete. I have a soft spot for these old towns in Arizona which are like the ones my grandparents lived in in the early 20th century. But I am even more impressed at the lengths editors here go to to determine whether or not these one sentence articles represent towns that have any notability.

Weak Keep. This book says that a cinema theatre closed in Enid, Arizona in 1931. That confirms existence, but that's all I've got. The article coords / GNIS entry are probably referring to an old rail stop, so quite likely not very close to the actual location of any settlement that is/was here. SpinningSpark 21:28, 20 December 2022 (UTC)DeleteWeak keep per Spinning Spark I don't think Google Maps knows where it is. It's going to a location with a few buildings that look like ranches, a skydiving club, and a Muslim cemetery, but it may just be choosing a random location in Arizona. It refuses to give me driving directions to go there, is why I think this. There's a secondary highway right there and I should be able to drive there if I wanted to. Assuming this location is correct, regardless of zoom levqel, I am not seeing any label or post office, gas station or railway...nothing at all that looks like a town. Similar results on web and Google Books search. Nada. At most a very remote and isolated desert ranch community, assuming the map Google is showing me is on some level correct. Elinruby (talk) 07:56, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- On second thought I tried again starting from the coordinates in the infobox and they do go to the location discussed above. Street View shows an old wood house that may be vacant, a couple of single-wide trailers, ditto. A car is parked by one of the buildings across the highway. Best guess based on knowledge of Arizona, although not this bit exactly: probably once was something there, but now... There are some roofs just over the horizon, and the structure with the car looks like a business. It's a pretty lonely place, definitely not notable or even likely to be noticed driving through. Elinruby (talk) 08:10, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Once notable always notable. Even if it no longer exists, that in itself does not call for deletion. I've changed to weak keep. The Publix cinemas were known for being plush and ornate. Even though the one in Enid failed (noted in the source I linked), an upmarket cinema would never have been built in the first place if there was nothing of significance there at all. SpinningSpark 10:02, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Alright, I will buy that, although I am somewhat incredulous based on the Street View. When I say business, I mean maybe a tractor repair shop or some other light industry. I really don't see anything that looks like the sort of downtown that might house a theatre. But. Your rationale is a secondary source and mine is OR, and I have no inherent objection to the idea that there was a town here. Elinruby (talk) 04:19, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't believe the book. If this place was big enough to have a movie theater that was written about, there would be more that that reference. The line in the book is "Notices appeared about the sale of theatres in minor centres like Enid, Arizona and Chicksaw, Oklahoma". I think that was a typo and was referring to Enid, Oklahoma which had a population of over 25,000 in 1930 (the time frame of the book reference) that would have supported a movie theater. The most substantial mention I can find is AFL-CIO. Railway Employes' Dept. Convention Proceedings which talks about an 1961 rail accident there. There is no evidence there was a community there. MB 05:32, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
- That seems to be quite likely right so I have struck my keep vote. This book not only confirms that Publix owned two theatres in Enid, Oklahoma, but the town was their headquarters. SpinningSpark 18:43, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

A search in Irish sources, both north and south (like in the Irish Times or the Irish Independent or Belfast Telegraph or The News Letter or Irish News) returns nothing at all. Not, seemingly, even trivial passing mentions. A Google search is also similarly sparse. And, while such this Google search returns a handful of sources that support some of the basics in the text (like this and this which confirm that the subject is/was a professional drift driver), they do not support a claim to notability. (The only result, of any kind, that is even borderline, is this apparent coverage in The Daily Mirror newspaper (UK). But that's not enough on its own.)

In addition, the subject's two books were published by a large traditional publishing house and received reviews from The New York Times and an interview with the subject about one of the books by The Washington Post, with a review by Publisher's Weekly, another national publication. The subject has had coverage from National Public Radio (NPR) as well. The Inquirer, The Times, NPR, Publisher's Weekly - cannot be dismissed. The coverage is not mere mentions.
