Kamacuras

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While a recurring Kaiju in the Godzilla series and generally notable in universe, I can't find much more Kamacuras beyond listicles, passing mentions, and the like. The article itself is all plot, and unlike a lot of other Godzilla Kaiju, there isn't much developmental info that would warrant the article sticking around either. I just don't think there's enough to justify the article's existence separately from anything else. An AtD could be a redirect to Son of Godzilla, given that it seems to be where Kamacuras are most notable, but if anyone has a better suggestion, or found sources that may justify the article's existence that I may have missed in my BEFORE, then feel free to suggest or mention it. I'd like to keep this around, but as it stands, I don't think Kamacuras has much to stand on. Pokelego999 (talk) 16:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Godzilla (franchise) per Piotrus. If someone wanted to start organizing a character list from the franchise, that might be useful. There isn't enough WP:SIGCOV to pass our guidelines. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Godzilla (franchise)#Filmography - No sources really showing that they're particularly notable, and since they have never really been the "featured" kaiju of a movie, always just appearing in films with an ensemble of monsters or as stock footage/cameos, there's not really a single movie that would serve as a great target for a redirect. The film list for the franchise, which already includes a column showing which monsters appeared in each film, would thus be the best target, as anyone searching for the monster would be redirected straight to a list where they can easily see their appearances.

Mexican Liberal Party (2003)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a minor Mexican political party that existed for about a year (2002-2003) and got only 0,42% of the vote in the 2003 Mexican legislative election, leading to its dissolution. The article previously existed as Mexican Liberal Party (2002–03) but that was redirected to 2003 Mexican legislative election (this is perhaps the best solution for the present article as well). There's not a whole lot of significant coverage (this seems to be the exception) so deletion or redirection seem like the way to go. Pichpich (talk) 19:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Although i agree with you, i think every political party deserves recognition as long as it has notable info!, cheers too you! 52Timer (talk) 00:52, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - That means you would also have too include a few more Mexican political parties into this discussion, why delete this one if it is similar to other lost Political parties like for example: “México Posible 2002-2003” the article has much less than this one so it wouldn’t be fair deleting this one. Instead this article should be considered a stub or more rework, Furthermore. This seems like your typical stub of political parties and 90% of this article comes from the Spanish Wikipedia and fully corrected and worked with actual sources! 52Timer (talk) 00:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- The Bengal GreenOak merger was ‘like two puzzle pieces coming together” (PERE)
  - PERE covers the primary private equity real estate world with a circulation of 35,000. It's not dependent on ads or press releases; subscriptions cost $3000+

These provide substantial explanations of the company's business.

Do you see how the the reuters article starts with a location, date, source (e.g. LONDON, Aug 2 (Reuters))? That's how you know its PR. Here's the announcement from Tetragon and you can see the Reuters article regurgitates it - fails ORGIND. ~~The Pere article though is good enough to meet NCORP criteria as it contains in-depth opinion/analysis.~~ On another read-through, no, the author uses a technique of summarising what has been said which was made clear by the included quotes later in the article.

Weak delete there are several concerns regarding its notability and compliance with Wikipedia's standards:

General Notability: Wikipedia's general notability guideline states that a topic is presumed to be suitable for a standalone article if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Although the article mentions various acquisitions and investments made by BGO, and the above editors indicated some possible reliable sources it does not provide enough significant independent and secondary sources to establish its notability beyond basic facts. --VertyBerty (talk) 14:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of books considered the best

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is not notable, probably used for advertisement of the books. Wikipedia is not for deciding which book is best. ❯❯❯ Chunky aka Al Kashmiri (✍️) 17:42, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Meets WP:NLIST, as described in the article itself eg Time's List of the 100 Best Novels, Modern Library 100 Best Novels, The Guardian's 100 Best Novels Written in English . The selection criteria is clear and reflects NPOV approach by relying explicitly on multiple RS for every entry; further RS could easily be added if it improves neutrality. I see no sign of WP:PROMO. Perhaps move to List of novels considered the best considering the topic. —siro χ o 18:21, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's relevant to mention that List of novels considered the greatest was actually deleted at AfD last July (link). Hey man im josh (talk) 18:28, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't participate there, but from the comments it appears that article had substantial problems that this one does not share. —siro χ o 21:38, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd note that Time's List of the 100 Best Novels is sourced only to Time, Modern Library 100 Best Novels is weakly sourced (and cite 1 is a pretty good criticism that it only listed those it published), and The Guardian's 100 Best Novels Written in English is mainly sourced to the Guardian! I'll suggest merging all of these, along with others listed at List of top book lists which are similarly short or poorly sourced, into a single article. Maybe maintain that article and just have subsections about each list, and another section that includes those named on multiple lists. I mean, List of films considered the best has been kept seven times, but it's structured quite differently, but just because those rankings exist doesn't mean this article meets NLIST as it is. Reywas92^Talk 18:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do like this plan, I think it could be a solid article that would improve the state of all the articles you're mentioning, including this one. As it's too complex an outcome for AfD I will stick with my above !vote, but would support this proposal in a discussion (whether after a BOLD attempt, or as a proposal) —siro χ o 21:40, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Despite the title, this is not a list of books considered the best. By its very construction (The books listed here are included on at least three separate "best/greatest of all time" lists from different publications, as chosen by their editorial staffs/authors.), it is a list of books considered among the best. I think it's highly dubious if that's a valid way of constructing the list in the first place, and it certainly shouldn't be at this title. Contrast list of films considered the best, where each entry actually has been deemed the best (i.e. #1) by a notable poll. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of novels considered the greatest from last year. TompaDompa (talk) 03:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This exact debate has been had like 10 times about List of films considered the best, I don't see why the same reasonings wouldn't apply to books.★Trekker (talk) 18:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- If they were constructed the same way, I would agree. But they are not, they are constructed in completely different ways as outlined above. TompaDompa (talk) 18:39, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - To me that seems like a good argument for why this article needs major changes, not deletion, unless we're talking a DYNAMITE case.★Trekker (talk) 18:43, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well, maybe. But if we want a list of the same kind as List of films considered the best, we need new sources as ~~only one out of five~~ none (see below) of the sources used to construct List of books considered the best is a ranked poll. Time's List of the 100 Best Novels (1) is neither ranked nor a poll, Dick Meyer's 100 Years, 100 Novels, One List (2) is ranked (though The order is essentially silly.) but not a poll, Modern Library 100 Best Novels (3) is ~~a ranked poll~~ ranked but not a poll, The Daily Telegraph's 100 Novels Everyone Should Read (4) is ranked but not a poll, and The Guardian's 100 Best Novels Written in English (5) is neither ranked nor a poll. That would leave us with only a single entry, the rest of the list needing to be scrapped. That is pretty much indistinguishable from starting over from scratch. TompaDompa (talk) 22:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC) Amended. TompaDompa (talk) 01:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Keep in mind that books are different than films. Due to both the quantity of books produced in relation to films, as well as less need for demonstration of technical expertise in the use of tools, it's a lot harder to find objective criteria for the quality of books. As such, summarizing across secondary sources based on lists of 100 is probably a better tertiary analysis than to pick the top 1 from several secondary sources, when it comes to books.
      
      While I think Reywas92's plan is possibly the best path forward after AFD, a subtle rename here would solve the issues. List of books considered among the best might work. —siro χ o 23:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      As such, summarizing across secondary sources based on lists of 100 is probably a better tertiary analysis than to pick the top 1 from several secondary sources, when it comes to books. Again, maybe. It's certainly more of an WP:ANALYSIS, and I don't mean that as a positive. And when the sources are mostly not polls but what amounts to opinion pieces, it gets even more dubious—we're back to the issues that led to the previous discussion ending with the article being deleted. Are we suggesting that Lev Grossman (1), Richard Lacayo (1), Robert McCrum (5), Dick Meyer (2), and unnamed Telegraph staff (4) are that authoritative sources on this topic? TompaDompa (talk) 23:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      
      I just realized that it's worse than I thought. Modern Library 100 Best Novels (3) is not one list but two—one drawn up by the editorial board of Modern Library (with Ulysses at #1) and one with 217,520 votes cast (with Atlas Shrugged at #1)—and the article uses the former (as evidenced by Sons and Lovers being noted in the article as appearing on the list when it only appears on the board's list). So we actually have 0 ranked polls in use here, not 1. And I suppose we'll add ~~unnamed people at~~ the editorial board of Modern Library (named by The New York Times here: Christopher Cerf, Gore Vidal, Daniel J. Boorstin, Shelby Foote, Vartan Gregorian, A. S. Byatt, Edmund Morris, John Richardson, Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. and William Styron) to the list of sources we are apparently saying are sufficiently authoritative to base this list on. TompaDompa (talk) 00:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC) Amended. TompaDompa (talk) 01:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Just to be clear regarding my thoughts, I don't mean original research, perhaps "tertiary analysis" is borrowing the wrong turn of phrase from the wrong discipline, I hope it's clear that I don't mean all-caps WP:ANALYSIS. By "tertiary analysis" what I mean is summarizing and consolidating secondary sources. —siro χ o 01:13, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      I figured you didn't mean it that way, but I think it qualifies. This article is not really summarizing sources on which books are the best (even disregarding the difference between novels and books), it's taking a handful of opinions, cross-referencing them, and listing the overlap as though it were some kind of critical consensus. The underlying method could conceivably be used to construct a list that meaningfully reflects the overall consensus, but it would require a way larger number of sources, a way more representative set of sources (the WP:Systemic bias on display here isn't exactly subtle: four out of five are explicitly limited to English-language works, the sole exception being the list by The Telegraph (4)—which isn't even a list of the 100 best but 100 "everyone should read"), and some robust statistical analysis—and then you are way into WP:Original research territory. TompaDompa (talk) 01:53, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If kept, tag with {{globalize}}, as this is a List of English-languageb ooks considered the best by English readers.

Weak keep and rename List of novels considered among the 100 best. There is no single "best", just top 100, but they are considered as a group, satisfying NLIST. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:17, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To be factual, it is a List of novels on "100 best books" lists. Lamona (talk) 15:36, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article for Modern Library 100 Best Novels states at the beginning "Modern Library's 100 Best Novels is a 1998 list of the best English-language novels published during the 20th century, as selected by Modern Library from among 400 novels published by Random House, which owns Modern Library." So that's not independent. A publishing company tells you that the best 100 books you should buy are all published by them. Anyway, this list is pointless. Just listing which potentially bias sources put something on their top 100 book list, has no purpose here. To make content to publish, someone was told to make a list of 100 books, and they most likely never read most of them themselves, just looked up information elsewhere.

I was almost ready to withdraw, but our own article says that "the editorial staff of the Linux Voice came entirely from the UK magazine Linux Format." They, therefore, don't appear to have been sufficiently independent of each other. Charcoal feather (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ehh... they are separate reviews, in separate magazines, years apart. One was written by Ben Everard, while the other was written by Mike Saunders. I am unconvinced they are related enough to disqualify it as SIGCOV. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:06, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The sources are still threadbare in terms of independent commentary on the game; it is not clear to me that this game has notability. The Softpedia article has fairly minimal commentary on the game other than that it's "fun", with the rest being a general description commensurate with the site's status as a file hosting website. WP:VG/S seems to have some commentary that it is not a clearly reliable source. I appreciate the help finding the other sources, but I think this falls short. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 12:57, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was harder since it was in Italian, but I found another review in Linux Pro. While the formatting is similar as Linux Format, so I assume there is some relation, it's indeed a completely different review by a different person appearing years later. Therefore I think it would qualify as a separate publication for the sake of SIGCOV, especially because it's for a different country. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:12, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Nederlandse Leeuw Are you bundling these two nominations? If not, that may be advisable :) Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 16:55, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Actualcpscm I thought about it, and I decided not to. Southwestern Europe is a stub with very little text, and very little editing history, and zero talk page discussion. Northwestern Europe used to be quite a large article, with lots of references (which turned out to be WP:SYNTHed when I checked them one by one), and there has been quite some Talk:Northwestern Europe. I therefore believe the latter to be more complicated than the former, and would rather discuss them in parallel than together. But I appreciate the suggestion. :) Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 16:59, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense, thanks for elaborating :) Some people are unaware that BUNDLE exists, so I wanted to point it out just in case. I‘ll take a look at the articles later. Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 17:01, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I've used bundles in the past, but when the articles are not similar enough, we tend to get a complicated discussion that focusses on the issues with 1 article, and that can lead a whole bunch of editors to reject the bundle as a whole just because I included that 1 article in it. Then you need to do the whole thing over again by excluding that 1 article, or still nominating them separately. Sometimes people also don't see that I've nominated other articles, so they !vote only on the article highlighted and linked to in the AfD title. So in one case I boldened the co-nominees, but that had its own problems. Just not practical. For CFD it's different, but for AFD I rather not bundle anything. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:09, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to Regions of Europe. In the subregions section, "South-western Europe" is piped to link to Iberian Peninsula with the map showing the same; not sure if that needs to be changed, but it's not clear that this is a widely used term with consistently recognized meaning that needs a separate article. One can make directional references to any place with one's own definition, but without more established meaning or discussion than pointing out the obvious of what "southwest" and "europe" mean, I don't see the need for this.

Redirect to Iberian Peninsula.--Asqueladd (talk) 13:36, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- I should point out that the article claims that the term refers to far more than the Iberian Peninsula. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Regions of Europe. I agree that this probably isn't a suitable topic for an article. The term "Southwestern Europe" is used flexibly and inconsistently in the academic literature (as far as I can tell), and it's not really a subject that is analysed directly. I would strongly oppose a redirect to Iberian Peninsula. It would be much better for a reader who searches for "Southwestern Europe" to be redirected to Regions of Europe; they may mean a part of France, for example. The purpose of a redirect is to help readers navigate the encyclopedia, not necessarily to direct them to the closest match available. From WP:REDIRECT: Redirects are used to help people arrive more quickly at the page they want to read, which in this case is not necessarily "Iberian peninsula". Actualcpscm^{scrutinize, talk} 18:24, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Southern Europe. Southern Europe includes Iberia, Malta and "the countries of the boot" and discusses if and to what extend France and Monaco are part of Southern Europe (important: NOT by the UN subcontinents that we use as the WP standard). However you turn it, Southwestern Europe is a sub-region of Southern Europe, i.e., Southwestern Europe (please make sure you sit tight!) is really West-Southern Europe! I could not find SIGCOV in regional geography proper (i.e., beyond the selection of a region for analysis in systematic geography) but found much more than sufficient material for a redirect. Now before someone asks me if systematic geography isn't superior to regional geography (thanks for asking!): usually very much so, but Southwestern Europe IS a regional geography, so this falls under the rest. Regional geography is the folksiest geography and plays a crucial role in socialization, and the accumulation, organization, and dissemination of human knowledge. gidonb (talk) 17:37, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This might have been complicated by Northwestern Europe, which actually was kept. There are over 4000 results for "Southwestern Europe" on ProQuest. Looking at the article for Northwestern Europe, I am pretty sure a similar level of material and reference coverage would be possible for this subject. - Indefensible (talk) 06:04, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the cases are similar, it does not replace due diligence. I used consistent methodology from the relevant scientific domain and concluded that one article needs to be kept and the other merged into Southern Europe. Regions of Europe is for outgoing links on regions. Only a LAST resort for incoming links. Iberian Peninsula is US-centric in the sense that it limits to the CIA division of Europe and doesn't allow to discuss all possible definitions. Southwestern Europe is already built into the Southern Europe article! gidonb (talk) 21:12, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer not to give an arbitrary term as "southwestern Europe" any legitimacy, even through a redirect, so I prefer outright deletion.

List of Undertale and Deltarune characters

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Largely unsourced WP:GAMECRUFT (under criteria 6), and likely does not meet WP:NLIST due to a lack of extensive critical attention towards the characters as a group. There are brief mentions in reviews praising how the characters were written, but nothing substantial enough for a full list when a significant amount of them have no sourcing. I did some searching around online and found that many of the characters lack any significant material on their creation and reception. Even if it is found that the characters are notable as a whole, the article is still largely unsourced and needs to be rewritten. The Night Watch (talk) 18:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not really sure where the whole "needs rewriting" thing comes from - MOS:PLOT states that "The plot summary for a work, on a page about that work, does not need to be sourced with in-line citations". I feel there is a misunderstanding of what exactly requires sourcing and what doesn't. The page could stand to be expanded with more context, but it's not so barren of sources to fall under GAMECRUFT. Obviously, people are welcome to add more context, I just wanted to start a page for what (has been raised in numerous deletion discussions) is a very clearly notable cast of characters that has been discussed as a group. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't this list get started like within the month? Honestly, kind of surprised this got put into AfD so soon. Conyo14 (talk) 20:05, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bigger issue is that it's 99% regurgitated plot points and 1% out-of-universe commentary. Sergecross73 msg me 20:26, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why you're quoting MOS:PLOT when this is a list of characters that should include information on their conception, design, and reception and not just a plot summary. Although there are elements of the plot that could be included on the page and do not require inline citations, the article and its characters are excessively based upon said plot sourcing and there is still not an adequate amount of material that I could find on the game's characters as a whole. Just mentions in reviews all basically saying that the characters were "all well written and very unique" is not enough material to satisfy NLIST, because there is no other significant material to work with. If several scholarly sources discussing the characters of Undertale and Deltarune does come up, that would be enough to satisfy NLIST. But at the moment, I'm just not seeing it. The Night Watch (talk) 20:34, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added some sources that would hopefully address the issue, though I am all but certain there's more out there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:48, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but give the page time to improve. I agree with User:Zxcvbnm — it's "a very clearly notable cast of characters that has been discussed as a group"; it's just that this list page is quite new (it's literally only about a month old) and needs a little bit of time to expand its bibliography and descriptions (instead of being insta-deleted). Paintspot Infez (talk) 20:58, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'll be honest, I'm slightly iffy about the Deltarune half of the article. But Undertale's end has several papers with multiple citations discussing them on Google Scholar here. And that's coming from looking at the papers themselves. I will openly state these sources should have been worked in *before* the article was pushed out like this, but at the same time there's at least clear discussion too and the Sans (Undertale) AfD clearly demonstrated there is interest in a list of characters for this game.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:20, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: At least for the time being. The sources, while far from ideal, are at the very least adequate to meet the GNG, and the article is new. As such I would wait at least a short while to allow its improvement, before saying it needs to be deleted. If it is ultimately deemed to be unsatisfactory for mainspace and does not see any significant improvement before this AfD ends, it should be draftified, rather than deleted, and permitted to be recreated at a later date. silviaASH (inquire within) 03:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creator keep I can't say I understand the rationale behind the nomination, as it suggests that plot summary needs to be sourced when, by Wikipedia policy, it does not. And if it wasn't clear before, it is quite obvious now that sources do discuss the characters both individually and as a group, making the rationale that it does not pass WP:LISTN soundly refuted. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:11, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zero world government

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The result of the previous AfD for this article was to merge relevant information into the article on governance without government. I have now done so, but still feel like the "Zero world government" article (now a redirect) should be deleted.

As before, Google Scholar only turns up 3 results on the term "zero world government", all of which only define the term in passing and which are almost identical to each other.[18] These theses were all written years after this article was created, so it's possible that this was a neologism created on Wikipedia. Its recent association with "governance without government" also seems to be entirely synthetic, only recently having been added to the article.[19]

Per all this, I don't think merging and redirecting was sufficient, as the concept still lacks significant coverage in reliable sources and has no clear connection with its redirect target. As such, I still think the article should be deleted. Grnrchst (talk) 14:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of Nintendo characters

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is a rather bizarre relic from an earlier time in Wikipedia's life, but I feel it's outlived it's lifespan. While at one time the list of, well, lists was far more expansive, things have gradually cut down over time. Additionally we also have categories and an organized template that provide the exact same function. It also ends up a weird outlier: we don't do this for any other franchise (for example there's not a Lists of Square Enix characters)

I don't see sunsetting this as a controversial take. Kung Fu Man (talk) 11:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum: To better clarify, my argument is the list itself is so out of the way while at the same time specialized, that it doesn't work as either a navigation directory or disambiguation unlike other List of Lists articles, and instead add another layer of bookkeeping it has clearly failed at given how out of date it is at the time of this AfD.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 15:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article relies entirely on short quips and list entries, primarily due to their role in Super Smash Bros..

Redirect to List of Super Smash Bros characters. I don't think there's enough here to justify a separate article, especially given that the Villagers aren't really characters outside of Smash, and there doesn't seem to be significant commentary on them in regards to the Animal Crossing series. Pokelego999 (talk) 17:55, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It would almost certainly be better to redirect to the Animal Crossing series article or something. Yes, they're essentially clean slate silent protagonist type character, but you can glean more understanding about the character through its original game than you can its fighting crossover game... Sergecross73 msg me 20:30, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be opposed to redirecting there, but given most if not all of the Villager's significant coverage is based around Smash, it seems like it would be logical to send people there. Pokelego999 (talk) 20:35, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it's dwarfed by the amount of coverage it gets on the context of the Animal Crossing games, which is fine considering we're just talking about a redirect. Sergecross73 msg me 22:56, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As stated, I'm unopposed to a redirect to Animal Crossing should that be the groups consensus, I just personally feel the Smash character list works best. Pokelego999 (talk) 00:24, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Smash Bros. character list does not actually provide any commentary about the characters.

Redirect to List of Super Smash Bros. characters So far there has been vaguely pointing at trivial sources but nothing decisive. The Villager has no personality as a character to speak of, so it's even more of an uphill battle for notability. I am of a mind to say that it fails WP:GNG. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't Animal Crossing be a better target? Someone wanting to read about Villager would certainly get more (or should get more, in a perfect world) from the series article than the Smash character list that has no information. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 03:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The MC in Animal Crossing isn't even referred to as "villager" at all. They only are dubbed that in Smash so it feels like logically it ought to redirect there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:39, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What are you suggesting? That the main character from other versions, like the GameCube version is a different character? What in the world are you getting at here? Sergecross73 msg me 00:15, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's no need to be so harsh, I am just stating my opinion about the naming without necessarily saying that it must be true. However, at least in the Animal Crossing games I played, the NPCs all refer to you as mayor, not villager, as you are instated as the mayor of the town. If I was searching for "Animal Crossing villager" outside of a Smash context, I'd be looking for the animals, not the main character. Therefore, I feel it would be a strange redirect, though it could potentially apply to both. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:34, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All Animal Crossing games have a customizable avatar that the player names. "Villager" is just a name assigned in Smash Bros to an otherwise unnamed avatar. Sorry, I figured this to be obvious to anyone knowledgeable of both series. Sergecross73 msg me 00:11, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Anyway, in order to settle this I am fine with it just going to Villager#Fictional characters. Both the Smash character and the AC character(s) can be mentioned there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:28, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Animal Crossing. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 04:09, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for sure, for a general lack of independent notability outside of the scope of any of the games the character is present in. That said, I also don't want this to default into a "no consensus" close if there's no agreement on the redirect target. I think it redirecting somewhere is the most important thing. But that aside, personally, I feel pretty strongly about it redirecting to the Animal Crossing series page. There's way more room to expand the info and context of the subject there than there is at the other proposed targets, which are lists or dab pages. Beyond that, when choosing redirect targets, I really don't think it ever makes sense to chose a "cross over" it was in over its original source material when both are notable and mainstream, as they are here.

I believe the copy edit issues of this article has now been fully addressed, given the guardians and help from @Significa liberdade the article shouldn't need any further edits for now, as previously suggested edits from editors after the moving of the article to main space sort of changed the entire context of the article, deleting citations and this was not meant to be. This article was rated as C-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale before it was moved to main space. I believe further contribution to the article was that they were trying to make the article better and I honestly thank them for their effort however it almost didn't make the article make any more sense. I have been able to make the necessary adjustments to the article now, taking from their edits while also addressing the concerns you have raised. I believe it should comply with the Wikipedia standards now as it did before.

I honestly do not believe so, because in the said Business Day article it was clear that it was talking as regards the latest musical release, which is evident but however, I believe the news platform in their duties, did their due diligence to add a concise biography about the individual, dating from previous track records of the individual in question. I believe other references supports or buttress the information as regards the individual and for that reason, i believe it is an article that can be improved upon rather than being deleted.

@Liz Draftification would be fine in its current state. Jamiebuba (talk) 18:46, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think draftify is fine. But this cannot remain in article space the way it is. A ~500 word article has 19 references to a ~700 word sponsored post also labeled "advertisement". Just to be clear, that Business Day source is not independent or reliable. I would not even recommend such a source for ABOUTSELF claims, as the ad on the whole is self-serving, but it's also not even clear that the claims are from the subject.

Stephen Fern

Multiple sources from this article are about a different Stephen Fern, and seem to be sprinkled in to feign proper BLP sourcing. Not finding enough here to see a pass of WP:GNG, anything that talks about Stephen directly is either an interview, a passing mention, or just a quick blurb about him as a speaker at an event.

Upon reading all sources in the article, and looking for more, there's far from enough to demonstate ORGDEPTH for Ark2030.

Delete as an unsourced mess. I can't see one truly independent reliable source in there that says anything meaningful about Fern. I'm keeping an open mind about Ark2030 which as a British community-interest company has an extremely unconvincing existence; Companies house records merely show that it has shuffled directors and that it's twice been threatened with compulsory strike-off, which is impressive for a mere 3 years of existence. If someone independent writes about it, it'd be an appropriate redirect target for Fern, but at the moment I don't see either of them reaching WP's notability requirements.

Appears to be non-notable, apart from her involvement in the relatively insignificant 1989 World Cup qualifier (WP:BIO1E), which led her to become somewhat of a celebrity (lots of interviews, appeared on the cover of Playboy, articles covering her death). Mooonswimmer 04:16, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PS. I'm not asking you to swallow everything on the Portuguese article, but my impression is enough sources are right there even if not every one of them meets our criteria here. I am not saying the sources are "out there" because they are "right there." Em português so what. If you cared enough to AfD, why not spend time reading 30-odd (auto-translated if you need) publications? And still AGF, maybe you'd add the ones you find reliable from pt wiki to this article?

Keep - seems like a borderline case but subject appears to meet for inclusion based on coverage from 1989 World Cup match, the Playboy cover, and obituaries at her death. - Indefensible (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, it's more fame than notability. Per WP:BIO1E:

It is important to remember that "notable" is not a synonym for "famous". Someone may have become famous due to one event, but may nevertheless be notable for more than one event. Conversely, a person may be generally famous, but significant coverage may focus on a single event involving that person.

Most of the articles appear to cover her mostly in the context of the minor role she played in a (relatively insignificant) event. Mooonswimmer 21:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the case is borderline, on the other hand the Portuguese article seems to have pretty good coverage. We should generally lean towards inclusion for such cases in my opinion. - Indefensible (talk) 21:32, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Judge Dredd's storyline, a lenghty plot summary with no reception, effectively unreferenced (just three footnotes, all to the comic books).

Comment. It was deprodded by User:Necrothesp with the following rationale "I think this needs to go to AfD" which IMHO is not a helpful rationale... As you very well know, a prodded article can be deprodded by anyone for any reason or none. As you also very well know (or should do), prodding should not be used as an attempt to get around AfD and should never be used if opposition could be reasonably foreseen. I do not consider that this is an article that should simply be deleted without discussion. Prodding is becoming worryingly common on articles for which deletion could clearly be controversial.

Delete. The notability test for actors is not passed just because the article lists roles — having acting roles is literally an actor's job description, so if listing roles were all it took then every actor who exists at all would be inherently notable. Rather, the notability test is passed by showing reliable source coverage about him and his work in order to establish that they've been externally validated as significant, but that's entirely lacking here.

Keep Clicking the Google news search at the top of the AFD, I see good results. https://news.yahoo.com/skibidi-toilet-creepy-youtube-series-180500777.html and https://www.newsweek.com/what-skibidi-toilet-inside-eerie-videos-taking-over-internet-1813590 and of course plenty of referencesin the article. Reliable sources give it significant coverage, so it meets the general notability guidelines. Dream Focus 00:21, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as one of the main contributor of the article. There is plenty of independent sources reporting and giving commentary on this series. It have been used to show that a new generation, Alpha, is gaining prominence on the internet. You should explain how the currently references in the article does not demonstrate significant coverage. Ca ^{talk to me!} 00:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per @Dream Focus. Additionally, "semi popular" is debatable.

SNOW Keep: Poorly formed deletion rationale. Why? I Ask (talk) 08:39, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The notability concerns on the nomination are not sufficiently substantiated. It's not as self-evidently notable as others state, and the article does have issues and struggles to distinguish trivia from substance. But there's clearly a few mainstream articles from reliable news sources describing it and providing commentary on it as a fixture of online humor for younger generations. That's enough for GNG.

Keep The series has half a billion views on the official playlist alone, isn't that notable enough? Finxx (talk) 20:18, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep; bad deletion rationale and probably WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Internet memes can warrant articles in their own right, take "Press F to pay respects" for example. NegativeMP1 21:11, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Many of these keep arguments aren't the best and the article is not great either. However, as silly as it is, "Skibidi Toilet" is notable. I feel old just typing that out. There are a few good sources on the topic that are already in the article and its an ongoing popular series that will probably continue to get that coverage.

Non-notable shooting: while there was a large amount of coverage at the time, there is basically nothing to meet WP:SUSTAINED. No lasting WP:EFFECT; unfortunately, shootings of this nature are not particularly rare or notable in the United States. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:10, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even in gun-crazy USA, seven deaths is noteworthy. WWGB (talk) 02:02, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is it, though? Do you have the sources to back that up? This was a pretty typical shooting at a party, many of which have more victims and don't get articles, the only difference here being that all of the injured people died. There's also plenty of shootings with six deaths and more injured without articles; seems weird to draw the line for automatic notability at seven.

Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021 as WP:ATD —siro χ o 02:53, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021 per siroxo and WP:EVENT, which specifically excludes "shock news" with no lasting effect or deep analysis. A standalone article is not needed for such straightforward information. The first AfD happened barely after the article was written, so now that time has passed a clearer picture can emerge. 6 people being killed is what stands out here, but it was an obvious crime of passion that happened in a private venue, with the perpetrator committing suicide, so not even a trial. Compare with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Smithsburg shooting, another borderline case, where this time the killer of 3 lived and was declared not criminally responsible a year later, with all the resultant drama. StonyBrook _babble 07:27, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021. Although the number of deaths is shocking, other mass shooting related articles have far more deaths. 🛧Layah50♪🛪 ( 話す? 一緒に飛ぼう！) 08:23, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of mass shootings in the United States in 2021, which is what should have happened in the first AfD. It's just a news story. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 23:46, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
