The result was speedy keep per criterion 2. Between the evidence presented by the keep !votes and the actions of the nominator, the obvious conclusion is that the nomination was to advance an agenda, not based on Wikipedia policies. —C.Fred (talk) 17:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not an actual term used by anyone. Whole article is a propaganda for political agendas. Aloisnebegn (talk) 23:43, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Agreed, the nominator seems to want to hide information contrary to what appears to be a pro-nationalist Turkish ideal they have. Right or wrong, their ideal is only one side of the story if you will and should also be presented without limiting others from presenting their views. Oaktree b (talk) 03:00, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment: Merely for explaining how this previously deleted article came to be re-created, Jesca Wilfredy was listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/220. The editor has told me, they thought this conferred notability if the name was on a list of "missing articles", so they did their best to find sources and write something. It has been suggested to me that these lists are created from records at Wikidata without any regard for notability guidelines. That said, I personally do not find Jesca Wilfredy to meet notability guidelines. --SVTCobra 17:32, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As a member of WiR, I can confirm that this explanation sounds credible. I have in fact today been making a list for a future event and it is not realistic for me to verify notability for all suggestions. Editors who create the articles should do that, but I am not certain if the advice is provided or clear. In summary: this is a very credible explanation, in my opinion, for what that is worth. I think therefore, as always, we should assume good faith. CT55555 (talk) 18:59, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed, and I have no doubt about the good faith of the WIR project. Perhaps a note about notability for the people who join the project? In this case, the editor who recreated the Jesca Wilfredy article was accused of COI and some suggested it was paid editing. I think it stressed them out. Cheers, SVTCobra 19:12, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I will reflect on this and feed this back to the project. CT55555 (talk) 19:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC
    Per the WiR discussion on this [1], all WiR redlists have exactly the suggested note at the top of the page: “This list of red links is intended to serve as a basis for creating new articles on the English Wikipedia. All new articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria; red links on this list may or may not qualify". Users generally, newbies particularly, face a wall of words when trying to understand WP. It's understandable that some will miss the note, or miss the importance of the note. --Tagishsimon (talk) 20:44, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article's references do not discuss the subject of the article, degree is only offered by unremarkable institutions, appropriate coverage of the subject in independent reliable published sources seems to be lacking. A loose necktie (talk) 18:43, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I hadn't even considered that. A loose necktie (talk) 11:56, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: We include articles on Wikipedia when there is WP:RS to WP:V and we have that. We also evaluate a topic based on WP:NEXIST - and there is an abundance of references on this topic which are not in the article. Notability is not diminished when a segment of the population does not believe in something. We have articles for all manner of absurdities in relation to religion, spirituality and Pseudoscience. And let me define Metaphysics - this so called "legitimate" branch of philosophy: it involves "abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space." Finally, people have claimed to be a Doctor of Metaphysics for centuries. I believe that we would do a disservice to our readers with a deletion. Bruxton (talk) 14:53, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete and preferably shred and burn. Aside from the failure to meet GNG with reliable sourcing, Dan of La Mancha is correct that this is a fake degree offered by diploma mills, and this article serves to promote such illegitimate degree. The University of Georgia definition is fine, but it has no bearing on the "doctorate" described in the article, which is available for cash amounts from the University of Metaphysics ($990 if you prepay in full), or from the Esoteric Theological Seminary ($890, a bargain!). Wikipedia should not be in the business of providing advertising for diploma mills. See the George Gollin article for a respected academic's experience taking on one of the larger diploma mills, or check our St. Regis University, which he helped to close. Now I need to take a shower. Gah. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:02, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Grand'mere Eugene: this article serves to promote such illegitimate degree yikes. We create articles for all subjects. Definitely not promoting. People have claimed to be a Doctor of Metaphysics in 1843 - long before diploma mills existed. I imagine some snake oil salesmen also claimed the title. I thought a redirect might help our readers who come across articles with the title, as I did when writing the Helen Hadsell article. Thanks. Bruxton (talk) 00:11, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruxton: The first problem is that of the five sources currently in the article, only the University of Georgia source is reliable, presenting a definition of metaphysics of traditional philosophy. However, it does not even mention a doctorate in metaphysics. The second problem is that the four remaining sources in the article amount to sales pitches or passing mention such as in the Helen Hadsell piece. Three of these sources describe "doctorates" without the benefit of a curriculum or dissertation, presenting only a price list for various documents printed on parchment. Referring to these sources in Wikipedia's voice is the very definition of WP:PROMO, in the section on Advertising, marketing or public relations. I suggest if we need a redirect, appropriate targets might be to Charlatan or Diploma mill, or even to your example above, Snake oil salesman. In my view, though, deletion has more integrity. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 06:30, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I assume this is an Unaccredited degree? Insufficient sourcing is a reason to delete, but if some rewording is needed to clarify it's a fake degree and remove promo that's more like clean-up and WP:DINC. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Kj cheetham: Thanks for the comment and suggestion. I would welcome any effort you can make to assist in a cleanup. It is difficult to see how people began taking on this title, but perhaps it has always been hucksters. At present it is a unaccredited degree because I have not found a university who offers this as accredited. Bruxton (talk) 21:07, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Kj cheetham and Bruxton, sourcing is the central problem in this article. Two of the sources (metaphysics.com and universityofmetaphysics.com) are part of the International Metaphysical Ministry (IMM), so essentially count as a single source that is an unaccredited religious organization. None of the other sources provide significant coverage of the topic.
IMM actually offers advice about using their degrees legally: "Your own legal right to teach, counsel, or heal in the contemporary field of Metaphysics today is determined by having an ordained ministerial status, not upon a doctoral degree in Metaphysics. The primary purpose of the doctoral degree is to establish a highly professional image..."
I have found no reliable, independent, secondary sources that provide significant coverage to meet WP:GNG — the article is not a good candidate for clean-up. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 09:11, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think anyone is going to convince you. You already needed a shower after your first visit here. I am going to stub this so that these offensive references are removed since you keep referring to them as problematic. Bruxton (talk) 14:05, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This book is self-published - Lulu.com is a self-publishing book company. Alduin2000 (talk) 16:01, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Alduin2000: yes - it was noted in the edit summary. This subject is much like religion. It is not science, there is no proof of God or miracles either. The author of that book refers to the organizations which award the degree as "so-called" institutions of higher learning. Bruxton (talk) 16:19, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I was pointing out that this source doesn't contribute to notability because only reliable sources contribute to notability and self-published sources are generally not considered reliable. Alduin2000 (talk) 16:26, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment It is a real thing. A meaningless degree you can order online cheap. I think it'd be more useful to have an article about all unaccredited useless degrees, if news coverage about these could be found. Dream Focus 12:49, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    We have an article for Metaphysics. Do any accredited colleges teach it by a different name or include it with another class? We have an article for Diploma mill. This article could be redirected there if significant coverage can not be found. Dream Focus 12:56, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a thing. But the "degree" is of little or no value. See, e.g., Quora. We do have articles on Ponzi schemes and Trump University; that one does not like it doesn't make it disappear, and may not be a reason to delete it. Available sources seem to be thin. User:Bruxton did a good job with the newspaper archives, and I think they should be added to the article. Thank you. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 17:12, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I updated the source assessment table to reflect the current sourcing. One source, Mail-order training in psychotherapy Full text version via Wikipedia Library is a 1960 survey and analysis of 24 institutions, including nine described as institutes of metaphysics offering doctorates by mai including Doctorate of Metaphysics, Doctor of Philosophy in Metaphysics, and Doctor of Divinity in Metaphysics. So it's a 60-year-old reflection of the state of mail-order hack degrees available then. I've also looked at sourcing on newspapers.com, which shows 1000+ hits on the search term "Doctor of Metaphysics", all so far mentions in obituaries or wedding announcements. Still no current sources with significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:27, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added other sources, which are available through Google Scholar. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 20:02, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete and redirect to Diploma mill, I think. I think by keeping the article we risk giving credit to fakery. The article is without much worth keeping, so I think the best thing to do is to redirect it to make it clear it is a fake degree. I'm open to being persuaded if anyone can persuade me that there is an ethically better path. CT55555 (talk) 20:07, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • That almost sounds a more like a WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument. WP:GNG is what should be considered. If there was a WP:PROMO issue (it's better than it previously was to be fair), then WP:DINC applies. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:01, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I understand why you say that, but in the context of this initially appearing vague about if this was a real thing or not, I hope you understand my initial motivations. If the homeopathy articles suggested it cured diseases, I would also vote to delete that. Anyway, I only just saw your comment as I searched for mine, in the context of the WP:HEY comment below, so sorry for delay. CT55555 (talk) 20:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect. Preserves the content and the work. WP:Preserve. Addresses the ethical concerns, and avoids WP:UNDUE. A win/win. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 23:09, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    7&6=thirteen, MrsSnoozyTurtle and CT55555, perhaps I lack the imagination to understand how a merge would work. I think a !delete and !redirect would be better... Would you redirect to a new section to Diploma mills under sub-section Accreditation_and_authenticity, perhaps a sub-sub subsection like "Dubious degree titles"? or "Sure-fire fake degrees"? Or, more seriously, "Degree titles offered by diploma mills"? If so, the article, "Mail-order training in psychotherapy" from 1960 has a start in the article's abstract and a table in the full version with titles typically used in fake social sciences programs, which is a bit dated, but it's a start. In other words, would a merge include more than just the "Doctor of Metaphysics" degree title? Or did you have a different idea? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:28, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Grand'mere Eugene, that's a good question. The choice of which text is retained (and where it gets located in the target article) is typically a decision made through normal editing processes in the target article, which occurs after the merger decision has been made. So we'd be getting a bit sidetracked here if trying to work out those details before the outcome of the AfD is known.
    The benefit of a merger is that the edit history of Doctor of Metaphysics would be retained, so any editor in future can extract any useful content from the pre-merged version. I hope this explanation helps a bit. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 05:10, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep we have WP:BARE and it is over the course of many years. I had never heard of it and this was a primer for me. It should not be deleted, a redirect to either Metaphysics or diploma mill will preserve the history. Lightburst (talk) 00:53, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I contemplated moving most of the text and references to a section in one of the articles. But I have limited experience doing that, so I would defer to my learned colleagues. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 02:31, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I want to emphasize again, since a couple of people have mentioned it, that the Wikipedia article on Metaphysics describes a different topic from that which is studied by a "Doctor of Metaphysics". See Wiktionary metaphysics: the subject under discussion here is not definition 1 ("The branch of philosophy which studies fundamental principles" etc.), but definition 5 ("The study of a supersensual realm or of phenomena which transcend the physical world"). The Metaphysics.com source links the two together to give more legitimacy to the latter, and the article follows this in conflating the two subjects. I think this is causing confusion.
For the record, I stand by my delete !vote, or at least I don't agree with a merge or redirect to diploma mill as that article currently stands. I don't see how any of the text from Doctor of Metaphysics could be incorporated into diploma mill, or why this one degree should be discussed at length in that article when so many other fake degrees exist; and I don't think a redirect is appropriate while the target article doesn't include the phrase "Doctor of Metaphysics". That said, if someone plans to expand diploma mill to include a discussion of various types of fake degrees, I'm okay with redirecting to that article for the time being, to preserve the edit history. Dan of La Mancha (talk) 05:45, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, even though I acknowledge that the Doctor of Metaphysics article is less a WP:PROMO problem now. The list of suspect degree titles from the 1960 study is not comprehensive, as it is derived from the social sciences area by distance learning only, and besides, it is 60+ years out of date. In the intervening years, online diploma mills have invented plenty more fancy-sounding diplomas, so for regulatory agencies it is a continuing problem of whack-a-mole. Listing all known fake degrees would be 1) WP:OR and 2) overwhelming the content of the current Diploma mill article. Here's the list of known fake degree titles offered by 24 diploma mills from the 1960 "Mail-order training in psychotherapy" article:
TABLE 1
DEGREES AND DIPLOMAS OFFERED
  • Doctor of Philosophy
  • Doctor of Psychology
  • Doctor of Metaphysics
  • Doctor of Science
  • Doctor of Psychotherapy
  • Doctor of Bio-Psychology (BPD)
  • Doctor of Philosophy in Metaphysics (PhDM)
  • Doctor of Divinity in Metaphysics (DDM)
  • Doctor of Divinity
  • Doctor of Naturatics (NaD)
  • Master of Psychology and Scientific Truth (ScTM)
  • Master of Psychic Science (MPsSc)
  • Licentiate in Hypnotherapy (LHy)
  • Psychic Reader
  • Metaphysical Counselor
  • Master Metaphysician
  • Ordination
The above list only includes degree titles for the social sciences circa 1960! In the intervening years, diploma mills have continued to invent fake degrees in the sciences, engineering, medicine, religion, and other professions that pay decent wages to credentialed professionals. In the U.S., only about half of the states have laws prohibiting the use of these fake degrees to gain employment in a profession (just think about that the next time you need a nurse, engineer, or architect), and two agencies have historically maintained lists of the thousands of diploma mills selling phony parchment degrees: the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, and the U.S. Department of Education. I thus oppose merging phony degree titles to the existing diploma mills article as an impractical solution to resolving this AfD. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 13:29, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Reading over the arguments, it still doesn't seem those advocating a redirect or merger outweigh opinions that this article should be straight out deleted and maybe redirected later.

Please see WP:!VOTE. It is the (unenviable) job of the closing admin to consider the relative strengths of the arguments presented, rather than simply counting the votes. Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle 08:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's right, seems they missed a relevant part of the tally because it is within the ivote.
  1. Bruxton Redirect
  2. Dream Focus Redirect is mentioned
  3. 7&6=13 redirect
  4. Lightburst Redirect
  5. CT55555 redirect
  6. MrsSnoozyTurtle merge and...
(I am assuming a redirect so people can find the topic in the merged material) see WP:MERGE A merger is the process of uniting two or more pages into a single page. It is done by copying some or all content from the source page(s) into the destination page and then replacing the source page with a redirect to the destination page. Bruxton (talk) 13:18, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Bruxton, thanks for the corrections. I understand the rationale of preserving the edit history if there is valuable content that could potentially be used for other articles, but I'd still like to understand what content should be merged from the existing article, assuming the target article for the proposed redirect would be Diploma mills? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 14:51, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, no, diploma mill is not the correct redirect (even if the degree, as granted, seems to always come from a diploma mill). The correct redirect is almost certainly metaphysics, even though the meaning of the degree is rather far from the actual subject-- so that anyone typing in "Doctor of metaphysics" will be taken to a related topic. Much as I'd rather see the topic deleted altogether. But so be it. If a redirect, then the correct redirect, please. (Since I am a Doctor of Naturatics, I should know.) Thanks!

    Comment: Unfortunately, only one of the sources for this article presents significant coverage of the subject. There are multiple passing mentions and sources that are either unreliable and/or self-published. Added together they still fail WP:GNG. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 06:36, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I do appreciate the WP:HEY efforts of editors who have improved this article since its nomination — It is no longer promotional and has more clearly identified the link with diploma mills. The sourcing remains the problem, as individual bogus degrees are seldom discussed at all, let alone in significant depth, in articles about diploma mills. So it occurs to me Wikipedia may need an article similar to List of unaccredited institutions of higher education, perhaps by draftifying this article as "Draft:Degrees offered by unaccredited institutions of higher education" and developing it with sources that discuss the labels that unaccredited institutions offer as degrees? In other words, this subject is not notable enough to have been discussed in reliable secondary sources, but there are enough good sources that list various other degrees promoted by diploma mills and/or legit religious organizations that are unaccredited. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:39, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I would also support this as an alternative to deletion; I don't think the other suggested redirect/merge locations would work as well as this considering that it would probably give the degree undue weight to give it space in any of them (e.g. diploma mill should be about diploma mills in general, metaphysics definitely shouldn't mention it and might even give the degree an image of legitimacy to anyone clicking through the link if it redirects there). On the other hand, something like List of degrees offered by unaccredited institutions of higher education would naturally mention it alongside a short description. Plus, there seems to be adequate sourcing to suggest that NLIST for this grouping is satisfied even if Doctor of Metaphysics doesn't pass GNG. And this would also address BusterD's concern below that information on this degree would be useful to readers. Alduin2000 (talk) 11:21, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, riffic, asserting notability is not enough for WP:GNG. We actually require multiple sources with significant coverage, not just passing mentions of the subject. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 15:49, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hyperbolick, yes, this is conceptually different from legitimate nonscientific degrees because it is offered exclusively by unaccredited Diploma mills, and is a fake or bogus degree. Diploma mills have no scholastic requirements, only the payment of a fee for the parchment. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 15:45, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ploni. Thank you for your review of my article. It will probably be difficult for me to revise it to meet the criteria of the English-language Wikipedia (which it seems to have somehow managed to do in its yesterday's form for three years (?), but since I agree with you that it contained too much detail in relation to its overall length, I have thinned it out as a first step. That doesn't make it stylistically better, but at least less detailed. Perhaps this is a starting point where someone with more wiki experience and an innate linguistic competence would like to jump to my side, I would be very grateful for that. Otherwise, I see little chance for me to "defend" the article, as I can do little about the other points of your critique: Neither can I change the fact that no other articles refer to it, nor can I prove that, as already confirmed, there is no conflict of interest (how does one prove that one is or is not a Buddhist), nor can I give the subject a more prominent position on the international medical stage. The reason I suggested the article was not so much the surgeon's medical achievements, but his (officially and publicly recognised) work as a humanitarian activist in his area of expertise. Perhaps placing him in a category other than medicine would somewhat mitigate the contestability of his encyclopaedic significance. Marinus von Eisenstein (talk) 11:39, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Continuing the discussion started at the talk page: the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG and there is no Intermediate District 287 article that would serve as an adequate target per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. Virtually all the coverage cited is trivial with respect to the school, as it is routine news coverage of criminal incidents that occurred near the school (a shooting in February 2022, and an unrelated gun incident in September 2021). The sole exception (not counting sources affiliated with the school itself) is this citation to a trade publication which I am unable to access, but which would be insufficient for establishing GNG in the absence of other sources. Searching online and on ProQuest, I was only able to find more routine coverage of the gun-incidents, but nothing substantial about the school itself. signed, Rosguill talk 19:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep — this school, as reported by CNN, has won a national Grand Prize awarded by the United States Department of Agriculture; a school winning a state, provincial (Canada) or county (UK), or higher-level sporting or academic event ought to count towards establishing notability. In addition, there is WP:INDEPTH coverage by the trade journal Finance and Commerce (ISSN 8750-6149) (WP:PAYWALL is never a valid argument for deletion) and furthermore both Patch[1] and Fox[2] feature articles which are exclusively dedicated to arts and arts education at this school, and are therefore WP:SIGCOV. The nom cites "shooting incidents," but the article does not mention any shooting incidents —the entire article is utterly devoid of any crime, shooting or anything related, as this is an article about an educational institution.
    Now, it just so happens that the school has also been covered by sources such as Minnesota Public Radio, The New York Times, and the Star Tribune (among many others), and that these sources tell us important facts about the school, including that the school and its district have made important investments in training for staff, that it serves high-need students, that it "currently serves 200 students," for example. Now, anyone thinking that the student count is irrelevant is welcome to edit the article and delete the reference to The New York Times if they deem the Times an inappropriate source.
    Another consideration for the closer is WP:NOTTEMPORARY. In this regard, observers ought to notice the dates of the WP:RS currently in the article:
    • 2006 (Finance & Commerce),
    • 2012 (Patch),
    • 2016 (CNN),
    • 2020 (KMSP Fox),
    • 2021 (Star Tribune),
    • 2022 (KSTP-ABC),(WCCO-CBS), etc. XavierItzm (talk) 17:33, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the above comment misrepresents the arguments I have put forward here and prior at the talk page, and fails to provide links to the coverage in question that would demonstrate that the coverage, despite being in major publications over the course of a decade, is of very minimal depth and significance with respect to the school itself. The coverage of the award, for instance, can be found here, and reads in its entirety Studies show kids like to eat food with fun names but this grand prize winner is as nutritious as it is tasty and fun to say. The recipe for Porcupine Sliders was dreamed up by Chef Todd Bolton and students, community members and school professionals from the South Education Center Alternative School in Richfield Minnesota. signed, Rosguill talk 19:43, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It might be useful if the nom would have done even a basic WP:BEFORE before nominating. Here is a full article dedicated exclusively to how the South Education Center Alternative (SECA) won the national prize. I will not copy/paste the whole article, but I will note it is, again, yet another article with WP:SIGCOV of the school, and that it runs 755 words to narrate how the school wanted to participate in then-First Lady Michelle Obama's Healthy Kids Contest, how it assembled a team, how they came up and debugged their recipe, and how they participated in the finals in Texas, with the White House Chef, and won.[3][4] This new source is from 2011, so now the article features datelines from 2006, 2011, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2021, and 2022. With regard to the other SIGCOV material from WP:RS, the links are already provided above and in particular in the article. XavierItzm (talk) 22:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The source linked in this comment says at the top This post was contributed by a community member. The views expressed here are the author's own. I don't think that counts as a reliable source. signed, Rosguill talk 19:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The proper place to dispute reliability is here. It is now more evident than ever that no WP:BEFORE was done; consider for example this additional source, Food Safety News restating (in much abbreviated form) how South Education Center won the grand prize, the narrative of which is questioned above: Porcupine Sliders, turkey burgers jazzed up with brown rice, spinach, celery, garlic spices and dried cranberries, captured the grand prize in First Lady Michelle Obama’s Recipes for Healthy Kids competition. The Porcupine Sliders were served up by the team from Intermediate District 287, South Education Center Alternative in Richfield, Minn. at the national cook-off held during the American Culinary Federation National Convention earlier this week. White House chef Sam Kass acted as master of ceremonies for the cook-off.[5]
But beyond that: we have WP:SIGCOV from at least four sources which dedicated WP:INDEPTH coverage exclusively to the South Education Center: Finance and Commerce (2006); Patch (2011); Patch (2012) and Fox (2020), plus, of course the 15 other additional WP:RS cited in the article. XavierItzm (talk) 05:49, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I take offense to the repeated assertion that I did not conduct a WP:BEFORE search, as I in fact detailed one in my opening statement. With the exception of a single source that I am unable to access and cannot comment on, I respectfully disagree with your definition of what constitutes significant coverage of a subject and maintain that we don't meet that bar here. One does not judge a school primarily by the quality of their porcupine sliders. If the coverage about the recipe contest included several paragraphs about the staff and kitchen at SEC, that would be significant in my view, but so long as it is focused almost entirely on a single recipe served at the school, I don't think we should count it. signed, Rosguill talk 15:01, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No ofense intended: the nom's original argument was that the WP:INDEPTH coverage of the school was insufficient despite its inclusion of the 2006 article Function and flexibility governs the design of South Education Center in Richfield from Finance and Commerce; ignored went by the 2012 articles Richfield SEC Students Turn Into Artists from Patch and 2020 Students, teachers create George Floyd tribute on Richfield fence from KMSP Fox, which provide further WP:INDEPTH exclusive and non-incidental coverage of the school's applied arts and therapeutic approaches to educating the "highest needs" students in the State of MN.
The argument was then raised that the USDA's national award to the school, as reported by CNN in 2016, was only incidental coverage; which might have been a fair objection... until a quick search yielded yet another WP:INDEPTH article about the school's educational approach and partnership with the community and how it won the national award: that's the 2011 article Richfield SECA's Journey to the Top of Healthy Kids Recipe Competition from Patch. This article, however, was questioned... so another quick search yielded yet another article, 2011's 'Porcupine Sliders' Win School Lunch Contest from Food Safety News, which corroborates 100% the article that had been questioned.
In conclusion, the process in this conversation has been: question -> net search yields response -> question -> net search yields response, etc., which, perhaps, could have been avoided at the outset.
One does take offence at the mischaracterisation of the school as if it were all about a sandwich: One does not judge a school primarily by the quality of their porcupine sliders. The referenced national award articles and other SIGCOV describe the schools's community- and partnership-based approaches to getting its marginalised student body to win a White House-directed competition (2011), as well as to inspire the students with the arts (2012) and with arts-based involvement in current affairs (2020), and it all in a highly engineered-for-purpose and advanced physical environment (2006).

Comment to the comment. Agreed that there is little unique about this school, except the winning of national awards sponsored by the White House, and the incredibly broad coverage it has received from WP:RS across three decades, and which includes CNN (2016), The New York Times (2022), Finance and Commerce (2006), Food Safety News (2011), Patch (2011, 2012), KSMP Fox (2020), and a solid dozen other WP:RS, each single one of which is utterly and completely independent from the subject (and which include, for example, the Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio, etc.) Hey, any other plain, run-of-the-mill institutions which have this sort of deep and frequent nationwide coverage might also have their own Wiki entry, don't you think?

BLP1E fork of Kenosha Unrest Shooting article Springee (talk) 19:09, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nom, all notability comes from the one event, and the coverage around the person after the acquittal from the trial of that one event. All of which is already summarized in the main article. In two sentences. FrederalBacon (talk) 19:11, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment After further consideration, I want to make a comment. This is a biography. This article gives SIGNIFICANT weight to one event, and the events that happened after, in relation to that one event. The article gives significant weight to that one event, and the events that happened after in relation to that one event, because that is all this subject is notable for.
    Let's go through the article after the shooting part bit by bit
    • Tucker Carlson Projects- Statement about the documentary Carlson shot, during the trial, and the interview after the acquittal, in which they discussed the shooting, and the trial. I'll wrap "Meeting with Trump" in with this, since it was also immediately after the trial, in relation to the acquittal, and happened the same day the interview aired.
    • Turning Point- The largest part of that section is about a discussion that took place shortly after the acquittal, about the trial.
    BOTH OF THE ABOVE are summed up here in the main shooting article.
    • Podcasts- Talks about the shooting in those podcasts, except for one, where he was talking about his non-notable opinions on Biden, on a conservative podcast.
    • Internships and Namesake bills - I've said it before, getting offered political internships that aren't accepted, and having bills named after you, don't confer notability.
    • Use of Image- Some of this is relevant, but some of it is also already in the main shooting article, and it was all based around the shooting and trial. The gun shop putting up his picture was literally a celebration of his acquittal, thus, making it all tie into the 1E.
    • Potential Book- I would like to point out that publishing a book does not inherently mean someone is notable, per WP:CREATIVE, so POSSIBLY publishing a book certainly doesn't.
    • Media Accountability Suing media for their coverage in relation to the trial
    • Career - What career? He applied to a couple of colleges and it doesn't appear he's actually started attending any.
    • Social Media Use I bold this one because I take particular onus with this part, and am going to use it as an example of the clear problems with this article. The section uses one source which is fine, but it also contains the sentence 'and Rittenhouse rejoined and has continued to be active on social media on his unverified accounts". That sentences does not appear in the NPR article at all, AND IN FACT, the article mentions "As of Wednesday afternoon, he had not rejoined either platform." So, I ask, where did the line "rejoined and continued to be active" come from, if not from a reliable source?
    OR? Synth? Who knows, but I know its not in any source listed around that part. FrederalBacon (talk) 20:27, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Merge The Rittenhouse page is effectively a fork of the Kenosha Unrest Shooting article. Rittenhouse was not NOTEABLE prior to the shooting and related events. Content in this article beyond what is in the KUS article is largely more detail about his actions in the aftermath of the trial. I'm concerned that this article may turn into a POVFORK (description of Rittenhouse as a conservative celebrity) and that most of the content in this article is just additional details that, if trimmed could be incorporated into an aftermath section in the original article. This feeling was noted by a number of editors in a NPOVN discussion here [14]. Springee (talk) 19:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You are the nominator, it's usual to put your comments in the nomination and not as a !vote. Andrevan@ 19:17, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't do these often and assumed the opening comments should be limited (similar to a RfC question). Springee (talk) 19:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pretty sure !voting in your own nomination is against policy, not just unusual. @Springee, I suggest striking your bolded !vote/merge above, but keeping the reasoning text. For next time, your reasoning is typically included at the beginning of the article within the nomination rather than as a comment down below. Then the reason you've nominated is super accessible to all editors who can review it and discuss accordingly. I offer this suggestion in a friendly manner; though we disagree on the subject's notability, that's not a reason for me to not be cordial! --Kbabej (talk) 20:31, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm honestly not trying to be condescending/etc when I say you can find the strikethrough text here, which helps render words to look like this: example. Also, my past comment was a suggestion, not a demand; I'm not the owner of AfD. Cheers! --Kbabej (talk) 20:35, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, meets notability guidelines. I don't agree with much of anything Rittenhouse has said or done, and I wish he wasn't notable, but he does seem to be. He has continued making independent media appearances even after his original event occurred. Andrevan@ 19:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the article on the shooting. Rittenhouse is not notable outside of the context of the shooting.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:19, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Heck, not even anything to merge. There's already a section about his continued media appearances. FrederalBacon (talk) 19:31, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep argh. big argh. He's still getting coverage in WaPo unrelated to the shooting, this year [15], and a critical review of the "junk news" around his time in the media [16], from Oxford University. GNG is met. Argh, this guy really grinds my gears. Oaktree b (talk) 19:59, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep he has gotten plenty of coverage long after the shooting and the trial, and still appears in conservative media today. Bill Williams 20:16, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The subject obviously initially became notable because of the shooting and subsequent trial. No one is disputing that. After the trial, however, the subject has continued to receive coverage separate from the trial (over a half year ago now) and has been lionized the the Right (source for that verbiage from Politico here, a green-level source on WP:RSP) and that has quickly become a media sensation. He started a media tour and appeared on many television shows, podcasts, and conventions. His appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight was the second-most watched episode in the show's history (source here, again green-level). Besides just simple interviews, he also appeared at multiple conventions as a featured speaker, including two hosted by Turning Point USA: AmericaFest in December 2021; and the Young Women's Leadership Summit in June 2022. He's also been offered multiple internships and been the namesake for proposed laws. His image has been commercialized, including being the subject of a video game created by William Hahne. He went on to found the Media Accountability Project, and is releasing a video game himself, both of which have received RS coverage. He's also covered thoroughly in Anne Bremner's book Justice in the Age of Judgment: From Amanda Knox to Kyle Rittenhouse and the Battle for Due Process in the Digital Age (book listing here), as well as multiple dozen other books.
I do appreciate other editor's thoughts and respectful dialogue. Feel free to respond/challenge my points above and tag me if you would like me to respond. I would like to point out the WP:IDONTLIKEIT essay, which is a reminder for editors (including me!) that although we may find a subject offensive, it still deserves coverage regardless of how we feel about it. In creating this article, I knew there would be pushback and concern surrounding it, but I created it in good faith fully believing the subject to pass GNG in my mind. If consensus is reached he is not notable, I will respect it. Cheers! --Kbabej (talk) 20:22, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He MIGHT make a book. He's been OFFERED internships (It is worth pointing out that one of the congressmen who offered him an internship lost their primary, so that offer is surely off the table). He MAY sue some big name people. He MIGHT go to college. He MIGHT be making a video game. He MIGHT have a law named after him. This article MIGHT not be worth our time, regardless of whether or not we like it. The article doesn't indicate notability beyond the shooting and the public profile he got because of that shooting. He has done absolutely nothing except speak at TPUSA events, appear on Tucker Carlson a couple of times in close time frame to the acquittal, and appear on some podcasts, in which he talked about the shooting and the trial. FrederalBacon (talk) 01:36, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @FrederalBacon. I understand your position, but do not agree. You've stressed a lot of the things that "might" happen. The fact of the matter is some things have already happened, and he continues to get sustained coverage. The offers of internships have happened. The namesake bills have been proposed. The nomination for the Congressional Gold Medal has been made. The Acquittal video game has been released. The Global Network on Extremism and Ideology has released an analysis of meme use surrounding his image. His likeness has been used in a number of projects, including gun sales, clothing, and YouTube monetization. While some things "might" happen, there's still in-depth coverage in RS over a period of time for what has already transpired. The article is a BLP, not a list of potential future projects. --Kbabej (talk) 15:10, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In how many of those sources is he talking about the shooting and/or the trial? Or is the focus of the source on him as the person involved in the shooting? All of those are already summed up in this section of the article this one is a fork of, and if this is all just sources covering him as the person involved in the shooting, then it actually fails BLP1E. Maybe some expansion about his media accountability project there, but the rest of it isn't notable. It's not notable to apply to a college. It's not notable to have a potential book deal. It's all just fluff. None of it is encyclopedic, and his notability doesn't extend beyond the shooting, the trial, and him talking about said shooting and trial after the conclusion of the latter. FrederalBacon (talk) 18:43, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That’s your opinion, and you’ve made that very clear. I do not agree, and I’ve stated why above. Applying to a college isn’t the fact his notability hangs on, as I believe is quite clear in the article. Perhaps you’ll convince other editors, but I think there’s a wide enough breadth of continued coverage in reliable sources to support this BLP. You are of course welcome to reply, but I’ve made my position clear and will likely not be replying to your queries further. Cheers! —-Kbabej (talk) 19:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1. If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event.
2. If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual.
3. If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented....
It uses the example of John Hinckley Jr. and why he should have a separate article. Rittenhouse's situation is similar. His actions got so much attention that he has and will continue to be covered for decades to come, for whatever he does, whether related to his actions that night in Kenosha or not.Jacona (talk) 15:34, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds a lot like WP:CRYSTAL to me. It's also entirely possible that in 5 years, people will forget his name. FrederalBacon (talk) 18:33, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That isn’t what CRYSTAL means, and notability is not temporary. See WP:NTEMP. —Kbabej (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The argument was that the example of John Hinckley Jr, that Rittenhouse, like Hinckley, will be "covered for decades to come, for whatever he does". That may have been true about Hinckley because he shot the President of the United States, but that is absolutely an attempt to see into the future to go "He's notable because people will be talking about him for decades to come" when it comes to Rittenhouse. FrederalBacon (talk) 19:52, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@FrederalBacon, isn't that exactly the argument you're making as well? You're predicting its "entirely possible that in 5 years, people will forget his name." You're criticizing someone for an argument they made by making the same argument. We get you just don't like it. --Kbabej (talk) 20:31, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, I couldn't care less, and actually have a view of the subject that would lead me more to keep the article than delete, but thanks for assuming this is personal. He's notable for one event. That's it. FrederalBacon (talk) 20:39, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

doomsdayer520: There seems to be some serious coverage, like this concert review in Helsingin Sanomat, the dominating Finnish newspaper. (Also a lot of coverage of Emma Salokoski. We should probably have an article on her specifically as well.) /Julle (talk) 23:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Via Google Translate, which I admit is not perfect, that article appears to be focused on the careers of Prättälä and Salokoski, who happened to be in the same place at the same time at a Quintessence concert. Since this AfD is about the band, it appears that they are typically mentioned as a side project in discussions about the individual members, but once again I could be persuaded if significant Quintessence-centric sources come to light. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:00, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They fail WP:NPLACE and in most of the cases, the articles lack real context and content beyond "it's an X in Y". Mexican states are not that small to qualify an article as La Misión, Northern Tamaulipas. There are 10 municipalities in northern Tamaulipas, exactly where is it located La Misión, Northern Tamaulipas? It's not said beyond the coordinates and basing myself upon that map, it seems to be that that town is in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, which is not at Northern Tamaulipas, but at Central-Northern Tamaulipas. All these articles were created 15 years ago when there were no real guidelines on the creation of minor places like these. Very few minor locations in Mexico (i.e. towns, villages, barrios and neighborhoods) manage to be as relevant as the municipalities in which they are located.

  • Delete All - Fails WP:Geoland#1. Particularly, no evidence in a reliable, independent source that any of these are legally recognised populated communities. The source relied upon in every case is GEOnet Names Server, which (per the RSN discussion) is not a reliable source. One article has two additional sources (a link to the Mexican post-code website and a link to the Mexican statistics office) but it is not clear at all how these sources support the content of that article. One article also comes with co-ordinates, but these appear to be that of an open field next to a single house. These articles were all created by Carlossuarez46 and are hoax/spam articles so bundling is justified per WP:Bundle. Carlossuarez46’s mass-creation of articles eventually led to an arbcom case where they were desysoped, after which he retired under a cloud, and clearing up the mess he created has now been an ongoing task for years.

I can find no evidence that such a place exists. There's nothing in the GNIS database, and (despite "Google Maps" being listed as a source) there's no label for this place on either the Google Map or the OpenStreetMap. There is a watercourse named Rush Creek that empties into the Kanawha River at 38°15′42″N 81°34′24″W / 38.2618°N 81.5734°W / 38.2618; -81.5734, with some evidence of mining to the west, but I see no "community" or Connell Road in the vicinity.

Recreated after being deleted at AfD last year, but still fails WP:NALBUM. The article creator is determined to create articles for all of this group's records (they've recently created an article for a completely non-notable B-side), and many of them can be redirected, but seeing as this has already come to AfD before and the creator's refusal to accept that these articles are not notable, I have to bring this to AfD again. There is a lot of text here, but nothing that marks this album out as notable – the group had no. 1 singles in Italy, including a song from this album, but that song already has its own article, and it doesn't make this album notable. None of the group's albums ever charted – they were primarily a singles group. The "recording and production" section is one quote from one of the album's producers, talking entirely about the fact the group worked with other producers on subsequent albums... it says nothing about THIS album apart from it was the producers' last one with them. The "Songs" section is largely original research and simple descriptions of the songs such as "it was released as a single", "it was a B-side", etc. The only two songs with any kind of further information beyond "it exists" are the two singles, which already have their own articles and the information is not relevant to this album. There are no reliable sources here that talk about the album itself in detail and the redirect to Righeira discography should be restored. Richard3120 (talk) 16:24, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Although the outcome of this match was surprising and widely reported at the time, I find no evidence of lasting impact or coverage. In my search for significant coverage well after the match (no sources are currently present in the article), I found a blog post [17] and some brief mentions [18] [19], but I'm not sure that this is enough. Sourcing is otherwise what one would expect for any Champions League match, in which quite a few upsets occur every season. Therefore, I don't believe this match satisfies WP:EVENT or WP:SIGCOV.

Not to mention covered by other major news agencies around the world. :/ The WP:SIGCOV is there. I don't think SALT is necessary either. It had impact on the following match for Marca to title their article Real Madrid exact revenge on Sheriff to make the last 16. Again this is down to how wikipedia wants to handle the information out there. And there are loads of sources regarding the match. There are follow up sources as well around, some analytical.

    I would consider this coverage routine and not indicative of lasting coverage. Every match (whether or not the outcome is "expected") will be reported in many sources immediately after it takes place, and the relevance for the second leg is also pretty routine. Along the lines of Fats40boy11, I could also claim the existence of such coverages for other "shocking results" – Liverpool F.C. 0–2 Atalanta B.C. was perhaps one of the greatest international moments in my team's history, and surely was well-documented in the English and Italian media right after it happened, but it doesn't have enough lasting coverage to justify writing an article about it. On the other hand, FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich had a much more profound impact (Barcelona rebuilding, records broken) and still receives non-trivial coverage over a year later; that's why there's an article on that match, for example.

The creator of this new version of this article - which was deleted yesterday, July 20 for not being notable - claims that the AfD was "unfounded" and decided to start another version of the article.

Here we go again. All of the sources presented are PASSING MENTIONS of the "Student Organization of Nairobi University" except one.

Most of the reliable secondary sources talk about the leadership or people who have been involved with the organization, not specifically about SONU.

This is supposedly NOT the same organization as the "University of Nairobi Students Association."

The only article that contributes to this subject's notability is The Standard article.

I am still struggling to see how this organization meets WP:NORG.

Perhaps the new student union is notable and meets reliable secondary sources, but, I do not believe this specific organization, the now defunct SONU, is not.

I'd also recommend this for WP:SALT. I am happy to salt it if reviewers recommend it. Missvain (talk) 14:42, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep: definitely more sources than on the previous version, although only one or two are not passing mentions. I also found this paper [20], which I think contains more than passing mentions and is probably reliable. The current corpus of sources still only gives a partial view of this organisation's history, but the article can most likely be improved with more reliable sources. BilletsMauves (talk) 16:21, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'm a bit tied up with off-wiki stuff at the moment, but I'm considering bringing this to ANI or other forum. None of the arguments presented in the 1st AfD were valid, each of the 3 participants in the 1st AfD (nominator + 2 delete voters) presented blatantly false arguments (Missvain "I did my due diligence and could not find reliable secondary sources that cover the subject significantly to establish WP:GNG nor WP:NCORP", BilletsMauves "nothing more than trivial coverage found on the Internet...", Ganesha811 "unable to find significant coverage even in Kenyan sources.") - https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/big-read/2021-09-17-uon-student-leadership-today-a-shadow-of-sonu/ , https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/ureport/article/2001323668/torturous-journey-that-birthed-student-union , https://nation.africa/kenya/news/games-university-administrations-play-in-student-politics-158134 is all clearly in-depth coverage, easily found in a 5 min google search in English. Note for example the wording "Sonu’s politics for decades had been fiery and had a direct linkage with national affairs, such that whenever there was a sneeze in the national political landscape, Sonu would catch a cold.", which is pretty much as clear indicator of notability as ever possible. Whilst trying to maintain AGF, I can't but feel that the treatment of the article subject is conditioned by its geographic location in Africa whereby non-Western experiences are presumed to be less notable. --Soman (talk) 19:35, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - from Jstor (login required) - Crisis and Student Protest in Universities in Kenya: Examining the Role of Students in National Leadership and the Democratization, Crisis and Student Protest in Universities in Kenya: Examining the Role of Students in National Leadership and the Democratization Process, Maurice N. Amutabi, African Studies Review, Vol. 45, No. 2, Special Issue: African Universities in Crisis and the Promotion of a Democratic Culture (Sep., 2002), pp. 157-177, which has 14 mentions of SONU, there are a few additional factoids. Unlike other ref, this article separates between Nairobi University Students Organization in 1970s (banned) and SONU founded in 1982. Some of the mention, affirming notability of SONU in national politics,
    • "The checkered life of the Student Organization of the Nairobi University (SONU), a channel of grievance articulation which the government has always sought to silence, is one example of this pursuit. SONU has organized political rallies and meetings with or without the government's permission, and even when security forces have dispersed such meetings, students have always regrouped immediately."
    • "The president [of the country] has voiced his opposition to the [students] Movement on several occasions, alluding to the dangerous nature of the schemes that the leaders, together with university students, are putting together to topple his government. In the past, "Jeshi la Mzee" (a group of youths allegedly hired by KANU's Nairobi branch to harass and intimidate perceived opponents and critics of Moi) has been dominant in violence in Nairobi. But recently university students led by self-styled Godwin "Karl Marx" Ochilo and SONU 92 have curbed its threat and dominance. In 2000 it was very clear that the university students are increasing their capacity to neutralize the dreaded Jeshi la Mzee"
    • "Thus in July 1982 SONU organized a boycott of the new forms. On July 28, 1982, SONU issued an ultimatum to the minister of higher education requiring that he consult with students about this. Although these plans were overtaken by events when four days later was an attempted coup, these forms were shelved permanentely."
    • "In 1992, SONU 92 was reinstated after concerted pressure from students taking advantage of the euphoria of multiparty politics. It has been active in creating a democratic space in Kenya. It is difficult to envisage how multiparty politics would have appeared in Kenya without the university students..."
    • "The SONU 92 officials, including Godffrey Kabando (Kabando wa Kabando), Kamau wa Mbugua, Michael Oliewa, Otieno Aluoka, Judy Muthoni, Moses Kuria, Jane Muigai, Allan Nguri, Cannon Ponge Awuor, and Moses Awili put up a spirited and sustained pressure for the removal of an inefficient and allegedly unqualified director of the Students Welfare Authority (SWA), the office charged with students' accommodation and catering needs at the University of Nairobi. Although the officer was eventually removed, the university was closed and SONU was banned once again."
Likewise from University Crisis, Student Activism, and the Contemporary Struggle for Democracy in Kenya, Jacqueline M. Klopp and Janai R. Orina, African Studies Review, Vol. 45, No. 1 (Apr., 2002), pp. 43-76, (12 mentions of SONU)
    • "In February 1982, the government capitulated and allowed the registration of the Student Organization of Nairobi University (SONU). However, in August of the same year, after a whirlwind of detentions without trial and a subsequent unsuccessful coup attempt, the university was shut down for fourteen months, the longest closure ever, and student activists were put under closer surveillance. To punish university students who celebrated the coup attempt, Tito Adungosi Aloo, chairman of the newly formed SONU, along with sixty-seven other students, were thrown into jail and tortured"
    • " In the same year, the [national] government also manipulated student election to make sure that the new SONU chairman would be favorable to the government"
    • " By this point the government's patience was wearing thin; the last straw was a fiery student meeting on November 13 at which SONU leaders demanded autonomy for the university, security for students on campus, and the right to speak out on national problems, particularly corruption (Awiti & Ong'wen 1990:18; Weekly Review, Nov. 20, 1987). At 3:00 A.M. the next morning, the secret police stormed the university and arrested SONU student leaders.10 Riot police circled the campus in anticipation of student protest, and at the end of a daylong battle, one student had been shot dead and many others injured. Once again, the university was closed and SONU was banned. The popular SONU chairman, Wafula Buke, was jailed for five years, and President Moi threatened students with the introduction of university fees as punishment for their "riotous attitude"" --Soman (talk) 20:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NFOOTY no longer exists and this subject fails WP:ANYBIO. Much of the coverage I could find online comes from the clubs where the subject plays, media networks who broadcast his games, and the league in which he plays. I don't think molineux.news is a reliable source as it looks like some over-eager fan page. Decent media like Birminham Mail and Sky Sports he's a mere mention.

  • Delete. The sources are somehow lacking... Most are from Independent.ie (including The Herald), and GNG says: "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." The article in the Irish Examiner mentions the subject in a sentence of twelve words. Half the citations are about the subject's family members. NOTINHERITED says: "The fact of having a famous relative is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article." No one has added anything else to this article since about an hour after this nomination was opened, nearly two weeks ago. I don't know what else to add to it. Given that it is four sentences, and if someone can prove otherwise, it isn't an enormous loss and wouldn't be difficult to begin again. --Gaois (talk) 21:53, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and lacks WP:SIGCOV. Besides the FIFA article. there is no sources that satisfy either criteria. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 13:10, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ramin Ott is a very important personality for American Samoa football, and a very important figure for the nation, since he is the top scorer, having scored crucial goals, changing the course of football for his whole nation, making him a national hero, and his page, being one of few about footballers from American Samoa with some information, must not be banned under no circumstances, since references and sources can easily be found.

Thank you, Ach.de.graf

  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 08:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. The FIFA source is good but not enough on its own. GiantSnowman 08:50, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per @Ach.de.graf:. He is American Samoa's all-time top scorer (see this and this), was captain at one point, and scored in their famous first ever victory, a 2-1 win over Tonga (see this and this). He was featured in the well-known documentary Next Goal Wins] (see this and this) and has been interviewed by World Soccer magazine (see this) Also, these sources show he is notable in American Samoa: 1, 2, 3, and 4. I look at the other sports WikiProjects and they don't nearly have an article deleted per day, let alone 30. By the time I wrote this another 30 are probably deleted. Article may need improvement, but definitely not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 20:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The first six sources clearly fail the WP:100 words (on the subject) that is required to demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. The FIFA source is fine. The eighth source is quotes from Ott, which fails "independent of the subject". The ninth source is not independent of the subject and the last source listed also fails WP:100 words. This is a clear fail of both WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Please stop bombarding these AFD discussions with links that clearly do not demonstrate GNG. This is distruptive.

  • Weak keep: He is the topscorer of American Samoa football team, an important public figure. I found some sources (not much reliable) from youtube. Its really hard to find sources about a player from American Samoa. But Im pretty sure that many offline sources would be available from newspapers and magazines.Silentone1995 (talk) 18:05, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete Happy to change my !vote if new sources are found, however currently the subject lacks in-depth coverage in independent sources. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. There is zero presumption of SIGCOV for footballers, even international ones, if there are no SIGCOV sources cited in the article. Zilch. So appeals to his status as a "top scorer" have no weight. This means GNG must be demonstrated to prevent deletion, and efforts to do so have manifestly failed. How many times do we have to remind the same editors that passing mentions, routine match recaps, transactional coverage, promo pieces from governing sports orgs, interviews, and unreliable sources do not count towards notability? It should not be up to other editors to fact-check every single source presented by these editors at each AfD just to ensure they meet our basic requirements for independence and reliability, let alone SIGCOV.

Hope subject meets both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR very well. There are so many international articles about the subject to prove his notability . But one user move this to draft space.

  • Delete As, effectively, the article creator AND the person nominating the article for deletion, there's a certain cheek to asking participants to do a WP:BEFORE - surely at least worth a consideration is that if there are sources not presented in the article that contribute to notability of the subject that you would have added these before/when you took it to AfD? The guideline that applies here, beyond WP:GNG ("has had significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject") is WP:NACTOR - "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions or has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." The key word here in both cases is 'significant' and this is where, IMHO, we fall down. It's not really about whether there are more sources to be found by searching, but that the case being made here for notability is based on two very minor film roles and some TVC work.

    I think it's fine. General rule of thumb at afd is that it can't be speedy kept (withdrawn) if there are any legitimate delete !votes already presented. In this case, there are so the afd needs to at least run the course (unless we then get considerable a delete pile-on, then WP:SNOW may be considered).

The article does not meet WP:GNG. I examined all of the sources.

  • 6- The same YT video with 5th source.
  • 7- A junk source.
  • 8- Her own explanations again, not independent.
  • 9- The same YT video with 5th source.
  • 10- A different YT video, does not contributes to her notability.
  • 11- A news content which contains 3 sentences about her new job.
  • 12- The book does not have Lola Zunnunova inside it.
  • 13- "404 Not Found".
  • 14- Another YT video, inadequate for notability.
  • 15- The same video with 14th link.
  • 16- Her own explanations again, not independent.
  • 17- An error occurred again with Daryo website.
  • 18- The same video with 14th link.

  • Delete Hosting a non-notable TV show and winning a non-notable award won't make someone inherently notable, and is not a NACTOR pass. Per above analysis, also lacks reliable, independent, and most importantly, significant coverage. Only a few sentences and trivial mentions isn't significant.

  • Keep. Appears to pass criteria 1 of WP:ENTERTAINER as the host of multiple nationally broadcast programs in her native country. Additionally the source analysis above has issues. Just because you are unable to access a url link doesn't mean the source isn't valid. We would at a minimum WP:AGF just as we would with an offline reference. Further, I found errors in the analysis above (she is mentioned in a long list in that book for example; it's viewable if you search for her name in google books and open that book out of a search). That said, that book is self published and I wouldn't consider it reliable RS. However, she passes criteria 1 of WP:ENTERTAINER, and arguably criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO. That is all we need to prove notability. Additionally, I am concerned of potential bias on the part of the nominator towards Western culture and English language entertainment and sources. If we had an American or British host of a similar nationally broadcast program who had won similar awards in those countries there would have been no question of deletion. We shouldn't treat the entertainers of non-Western nations differently than American and UK entertainers. 4meter4 (talk) 03:24, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent autobiography of a WP:MILL financial services professional. Nothing in the (blatantly self-promotional) text or the sources suggests notability per WP:GNG.

The most interesting aspect of his biography is conspicuously not mentioned in the article: In 2021, Meisterhans was charged by US federal prosecutors with financial crimes, which he denies. He was also convicted for financial crimes in Switzerland, and has appealed. He now works as a kiosk tenant in Switzerland. All this was covered in a recent article in the Swiss online paper Republik. But being an alleged criminal is the only remotely interesting thing about him, and in my view passes below the WP:ONEEVENT bar.

If people nonetheless consider him notable, the article would need to be entirely rewritten and would probably need to focus on his alleged criminal career, so WP:TNT would be an option. Sandstein 10:53, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Of course production is notable as a general concept and people measure the production of specific things, but that is not enough to justify this list of "world production". This is a collection of statistics where no consistent methodology is discernible. For example, different ideas of what counts as production are applied for different chemical elements; different years are mixed together. The results can't meaningfully be compared, especially across sectors. A hypothetical acceptable list would need to be rescoped, renamed, and rewritten with completely replaced content and sourcing – in other words, not the same page at all.

The result was keep. There might be "no need to create a page" but we aren't dealing with the potential creation of an article but an article that has already been created. WP:Too early is an essay on notability that I don't feel rule bound to follow when I consider whether or not the project would be better off with or without an article on this subject. Two hundred years might seem far off but there could be reasons readers would be interested in these predictions in our current times though they will not be alive when they happen, just like readers are interested in events that happened thousands of years ago before they were alive.

  • Keep, per my reasoning at the AfD for solar Saros 162 (which closed "keep"), which I will reproduce here. The rationale for deleting or redirecting individual eclipse articles has been, so far, that they can be included in these list pages; it needlessly complicates things to start rummaging through the list pages themselves. As has been said, there is a large list of these cycles in the navbox, as they are all equal in the sense of being verifiably extant (whether they are ongoing, have ceased, or have not yet begun). Since it's possible to accurately predict eclipses thousands of years into the future, and the human race has successfully done so for hundreds (if not thousands) of years, it seems like it would be trivial to find adequate sourcing here. There's simply no chance of this not happening: the only thing that could cause it not to happen involves the literal destruction of the Earth, and if that happens, I don't think it matters whether Wikipedia had an article on it. jp×g 10:03, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails WP:GNG. The former theatre was destroyed in 1940, but I can’t seem to find many sources on the subject matter. There is only one reference in the article, which I’m not sure passes as reliable (someone can correct me if this is otherwise).

  • Comment - as a theatre in existence from 1760-1940, there are likely to be many references in contemporary newspapers, such as the Southampton Herald and Hampshire Telegraph. This article might be better off being draftified or userfied in the short term, allowing it to be worked upon and improved. AfD is not for deleting articles in need of improvement. Mjroots (talk) 09:26, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mjroots I understand your point. However, the problem is that I have been looking, but haven’t found anything myself as of yet in contemporary newspapers, books etc that may be relevant. I know AFD is not for deleting articles in need of improvement, but there has to be sources for there to be an improvement. I’ve been looking for sources that are relevant for a short time. If someone could find sources that would be relevant, then that would be great.
    I’m not against it being draftified in the short term, but we can’t keep articles because there is likely to be sources. If it’s not with us, then we can’t keep it. Fats40boy11 (talk) 10:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fats40boy11: The above comments are not a criticism of your nomination, which was made in good faith, and is a valid nomination. I know the pain of having an article deleted, so can see both sides. If Wishva de Silva indicates that they are amenable to the article being moved to draft or user space, it can be done and this discussion closed. Mjroots (talk) 05:46, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I completely agree. If it can be improved, then of course it should. I’d be willing to withdraw if improvements can be made, but as you say, I think it would be best to be moved to draft or user space whilst the improvements are being made. Fats40boy11 (talk) 08:50, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in light of new sources and expansion. Nomination was very appropriate, as the sources cited previously were not accurate or reliable (although they did provide useful clues about where to look). The following sources provide in-depth coverage that satisfies WP:GNG – Patterson 2006 book published by University of Southampton Press (Volumes 1 & 2), and The Era weekly newspaper article from 1880 (continued here). There are also many newspaper articles available covering the opening of the theatre in 1803, and articles about the fire that burned down the theatre in 1884.

      The article notes: "羽壇有不少兄妹、兄弟、姊妹檔，但像黃嘉琪、黃嘉欣這對姊妹同樣專攻女單，還能在全國排名名列前茅的，卻很少見，而黃嘉欣絲毫不畏懼姊姊的盛名壓力，期待早日像姊姊一樣成為全國第一。 ... 黃嘉欣現在就讀松山高中，當初打羽球，正是因為跟著姊姊打，一路從社子國小、成淵國中、大同高中、喬治商工、松山高中發展她的羽球路。但正式投入羽球後，兩姊妹倒是很少一起練球，而人們總是說：「那是黃嘉琪的妹妹。」與黃嘉琪不同的是，黃嘉欣身高 164 公分，算嬌小型，但她的步法好，加上她的個性開朗，黃嘉欣說，這造就她獨特的韌性，這一年多來，她進步很多。"

      From Google Translate: "There are many siblings, brothers and sisters in the badminton world, but it is rare for sisters like Huang Chia-chi and Huang Chia-hsin to specialize in women's singles and rank among the best in the country. As soon as possible, like her sister, she hopes to become the number one in the country. ... Huang Chia-hsin is currently studying at Songshan High School. She played badminton at first because she played with her sister and developed her badminton career from Shezi Elementary School, Chengyuan Middle School, Datong High School, George Commercial and Songshan High School. But after they officially entered badminton, the two sisters rarely practiced together, and people always said, "That's Huang Chia-chi's sister." Unlike Huang Chia-chi, Huang Chia-hsin is 164 cm tall, which is considered petite, but her footwork is good, and her personality is cheerful. Huang Jiaxin said that this has created her unique toughness. Over the past year, she has improved a lot."

      The article notes: "羽球場上的「小巨人」台電隊詹雅玲昨天在第二次全國羽球排名賽展現強悍的球風，為松中高中的黃嘉欣上了一課，... 在新生代裡黃嘉欣屬於很能跑的球員，但首次與足智多謀的詹雅玲交手，一開始跟不上節奏，頻出現空檔；首局被連拿九分後，黃嘉欣才拿到唯一的一分，以一比十一輸球。第二局黃嘉欣較適應對手球路，追成四平，此時詹雅玲又加快速度，讓黃嘉欣以六比十一稱臣。現就讀高一的黃嘉欣是松山高中羽球隊創始隊員，..."

      The article notes: "本次排名賽衛冕成功的只有女單黃嘉欣（合庫、國體）、女雙程文欣╱簡毓瑾（合庫）。黃嘉欣打球的缺點就是對自己缺乏信心，這一個月在左訓國家隊練習，還是覺得不夠，決賽出賽前，她並無衛冕自信。決賽中黃嘉欣切球犀利，成功調動簡毓瑾，防守也都到位，而簡毓瑾畢竟沒練女單，連贏三場後，體力也到達極限，失誤比上次對陣時要多，黃嘉欣11：3、4衛冕成功，讓她出征下周泰國公開賽更有信心。"

      From Google Translate: "Only the women's singles Huang Chia-hsin (Heku, National Sports) and the women's doubles Cheng Wenxin/Jian Yujin (Heku) have successfully defended their titles in this ranking match. The disadvantage of Huang Chia-hsin's playing is that she lacks confidence in herself. She practiced with the Zuoxun national team this month, but she still felt that it was not enough. Before the finals, she did not have the confidence to defend her title. In the final, Huang Chia-hsin cut the ball sharply, successfully mobilized Jian Yujin, and defended well. After all, Jian Yujin didn't practice women's singles. After winning three games in a row, her physical strength reached the limit, and she made more mistakes than in the last match. Huang Chia-hsin 11:3,4 The success of defending her title has given her more confidence in the Thailand Open next week."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Huang Chia-hsin (Chinese: 黃嘉欣) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep - Searched in Google News: This was the 2nd one down. Looking at the way the mention even though brief is mentioned in The Tribune, April 8, 2008 article by Gurnaaz Kaur, "It’s all about money, honey!" about the upcoming film, Golak Bugni Bank Te Batua and how it reads with "Directed by Ksshitij Chaudhary, it is a Rhythm Boyz Entertainment film that stars Harish Verma and Simi Chahal in the lead roles". There's huge familiarity with how that's written. Please forgive me for using this term but some may say .... "if it was the Anglosphere equivalent, it would be the same as mentioning the mainstream production companies we all know!" I know that foreign films are soimetimes hard to gauge sometimes but for me this is easily notable. A quick glance in other searches confirms this. Karl Twist (talk) 12:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a company therefore the appropriate guideline is NCORP. We require sources which contains significant and in-depth "Independent Content" that directly discusses the topic company. We don't have that. Instead we have brief mentions-in-passing (mostly in relation to articles on movies where the topic company was involved in some capacity) and PR/Announcements. There's nothing that even comes close to what is required. The Keep !voters reasoning - that because some of the movies were successful, the production company is therefore successful - is not supported by any of our guidelines (also see WP:NOTINHERITED). Similarly, the GHITS argument with a side-helping of Anglosphere bias is also unsupported by any hard data and links/references. Topic fails NCORP. HighKing++ 14:58, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Looked at the first 15 references. Very poor junk. Company founders information, interviews with the partners. Typical startup news. It may be an entertainment company but it fails WP:NCORP, specifically WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:ORGIND and WP:SIRS. The rest of a mix of press-releases, film reviews which are not specific to the company, PR, non-rs links, film awards box office numbers, music awards, numbers, again not linked to the org.

  • Comment - For a regional Indian language, which has very limited audience, opens in top 10 in North America. So, obviously it is notable. Also, I have above mentioned The Tribune source which directly says as "one of the top production companies", and some other local sources which highlight its notability. Earlier, a user said "some of the movies were successful", well most of the movies produced by this company are success. Almost every film produced by them opens in top 10 in Australia and New Zealand.SangrurUser (talk) 11:41, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is one of the major players in the burgeoning Punjabi film industry, which caters to Punjabi speakers in India, Pakistan and diaspora communities around the world." I think this is enough for proving notability.SangrurUser (talk) 13:24, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One says there are pictures in Holiday and Redbook (from 1950-1963) and maybe there's some articles about the park in those magazines as well. It was getting an annual attendance of 200K people a year in the 1960's and if that's roughly the same over its 50+ years of operation, that's about 10M attendees.

Looking at Pacific Island news which I have done a bit of study on, I know that many Pacific Islands newspapers would have profiles and articles on people like Lemusa Atalasi. I knew this before I created the Pacific Islands Monthly page back in 2016. I've learnt a bit more since then. I'm quite certain Mr. Atalasi is notable. We have to remember too that many of the Pacific Islands news papers are not uploaded online. Looking around at the work that he has done. I believe he is notable.

This article is not ready for mainspace and requires incubation. Had either of the singles released in advance of the album's release charted, I'd say we'd have a case for going ahead and creating an article. However, the article fails to assert notability per WP:NALBUM: the BroadwayWorld piece is just a rewrapped press release, and the Paper interview focuses on Who, not Big!. If this album were by The Who, there'd be enough press coverage to easily meet WP:GNG, and I'd have no problem with an article at this point, since we have a title and a release date. However, with all respect to Betty Who, it's a little more of a speculative gaze into the crystal ball to expect this album to chart upon release. That said, rather than deleting the article outright, I'd like to park it in draft space for now, so we can continue to refine it and bring it live quickly if it hits specific notability in the future.
Given that there was at least one one !vote to keep in the aborted first AfD, I consider a unilateral move to Draft: space to be contested. Therefore, per WP:Drafts, I am opening discussion to move it to draft space at AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 02:01, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage for both artist and actor careers are clearly cited in the article. Not really clear on how this got marked for deletion since this individual has a title role in a Sam Raimi produced movie as well as many other well-cited roles specifically listed in the article. Artist career cited sources also show evidence of widespread activity in visual art in gallery, academic and corporate settings with awards won. Hyungsubshim (talk) 18:48, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FourPaws Getting through AFC is not a guarantee that the subject of an article is notable and it certainly does not make a page exempt from a deletion nomination - some of our highest volume AFC reviewers work on the basis of "an accepted article should have a 50% chance of surviving an immediate AFD nomination". Instead of attacking other editors and making baseless comments about the nomination being "laughable" how about clearly explaining why this person passes WP:NBASIC WP:NARTIST or WP:NACTOR and what sources support them passing. 163.1.15.238 (talk) 14:11, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I was just expressing an opinion, Mr. Random IP Address. I'm not sure how I'm "attacking" editors when I spoke in such broad terms undirected at anyone particular. Other than abusing the English language and expressing severe intolerance to other opinions I think you're demonstrating a more damaging appearance. Again, just my own opinion, feel free to believe otherwise. I didn't mean to poke a nerve there. I'm sorry I used an adjective you disapproved of. Regardless, I say Keep by default since no one has given a counter argument. FourPaws (talk) 19:05, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Again I am left wondering if you did all the searches before nominating this one and all the others. CT55555 (talk) 02:34, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The only articles where it is the subject of the content are a local news article about the island's sale, and the West Island Weather website. I would not consider the latter a WP:RS, as it seems to be a personal website. The South Coast Today article is simply about the island's sale, and doesn't really establish the location's notability any more so than other large private properties. I did not find the same articles and books when I did my Google Books/News/Scholar searches, but all coverage in both the sources above and what I found before creating this nomination listed Angelica Rock as a location, but it was not the subject, nor a major part, of the content. There is not WP:SIGCOV about Angelica Rock to merit an article. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 09:45, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The local news site provides significant coverage, I see no reason to say it is not reliable or independent. It is not simply about the sale, it gives the history of Dr. Aris T. Papas endeavours to turn the island into a residence, the windmill build etc.
I think source 5 above could also be considered significant, I used it to improve the article.
Please note WP:GEOLAND criterion 4, which says Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article.. We have more than the statistics and coordinates. So I think that is satisfied.
I've improved the article a bit today, I'm about to do some more. CT55555 (talk) 13:06, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article has definitely been improved, but I still don't believe Angelica Rock has sufficient notability to merit an article. The only information specifically about it is that it's a one-acre property that once had an owner-made windmill. The fact that it has common beach wildlife does not make it any more significant. I don't think Angelica Rock's story is any more notable than the story of a private property that included a beach; the only difference is that it is on an island in this case. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 09:58, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. I respect your argument. I remain of the opinion that it is notable. I think people are writing about it because it's an island, I think that provokes human interest. But the writing is dominated by one writer and it's not the most compelling keep argument I ever made. I thought for a while the doctor lived on the island, which would have made it a habituated place and therefore a clear pass at WP:GEOLAND but he didn't get the buildings up, which doesn't give it a clear pass at GEOLAND. I remain thinking we should keep this. But I respect that it is a decision where sensible people might disagree. All the best, CT55555 (talk) 12:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete one writer creating multiple mentions of a place is not enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:46, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    He wrote multiple articles, not mentions. Also there are three sources and one is academic and unconnected to the other three. CT55555 (talk) 16:53, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Mentions within an academic source do not immediately confer notability; it isn't prominently featured in the spider habitat article. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 02:40, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with Mentions within an academic source do not immediately confer notability. It is not any one source that confers notability, it's the combination of them. CT55555 (talk) 22:11, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per the current revision, this article is hardly even a stub anymore; there are four sources giving us a solid few paragraphs of text about this island and what's gone on there. There are sources, and the article has been improved. The existence of revulsion towards non-notable geostubs should not be taken to imply that all geostubs are non-notable. jp×g 22:02, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Seemingly NN writer and composer. While he's worked with some notable folks, notability is not inherited. Could not find anything covering this individual (plenty about the basketball player and the MMA artist). Toddst1 (talk) 00:14, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
