The party has never won a seat in any parliamentary election and, as far as I can tell, in any election. It was registered this year, and it might be a case of too soon. The party does not have any notable politicians, and coverage is routine. Easily fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 14:38, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a video game soundtrack album, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NALBUMS. The notability claim here is that it exists, which is not automatically enough all by itself, but the article is referenced entirely to primary source online music download platforms that are not support for notability, with not a shred of WP:GNG-building coverage about it shown at all. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this from having to be the subject of coverage and analysis in real media independent of itself.

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

A redirect to this article was nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 July 8#Shafiullah Orakzai, leading to me investigating it, and I'm thinking this is a hoax.

First off, when google searching -wiki and -wikipedia, the only results for "Shafiullah Orakzai" are social media, and the only results for "Lalbazgaray" is one OpenStreetMaps edit by a user of that name. Furthermore, the original page creator is Lalbazgaray (who was recently unblocked, and I'm not sure that was a good move, given this edit after being unblocked). There is a Lalbazgaray at the coordinates given on both Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps, but given the OpenStreetMap history is also suspicious, with Lalbazgaray being the most recent editor and the location being published by Shafiullah Orakzai, I'm not convinced the Google Maps town is trustworthy (you can submit things to be added to Google Maps). Google Maps is also the only citation in the article, and I'm not seeing any evidence this town actually exists per google search.

Admittedly, I'm not experienced in catching hoaxes, and I could have missed something here, but this is extremely suspicious to me. (There are reviews for the POIs on Google Maps in the town going back a year or so, which does make me hesitant.) I'm taking it to AFD as such. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Our article says Lalbazgaray is in the Orakzai District (known as the Orakzai Agency until 2018). The most recent national census (2017) lists "rural localities" in Orakzai; Lalbazgray isn't on the list. From this table, it looks like mostly they only track places above 1,000 people in that district although there are a few smaller ones noted. If a populated place doesn't meet WP:GNG, then WP:POPULATED requires "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low.".
Lalbazgaray's near Shahu Khel which is in Hangu District. I checked the Hangu District census; Lalbazgaray wasn't listed there, either. Maybe Lalbazgaray's inhabitants are included in the Shahu Khel numbers. In any event, Lalbazgaray doesn't look legally recognized.

This fails WP:NEVENTS. At best, it is WP:TOOSOON. To quote WP:EVENTCRIT:

A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article. Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect... Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. (Emphasis in original)

This is a tragic event, but not "notable" as of this moment for Wikipedia's standards. If there are convictions, legal changes, hearings, etc., then it may be notable through the aftermath. EvergreenFir (talk) 18:58, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Side conversation
  • As I asked at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carberry highway collision (2nd nomination) — since when are news organizations not considered secondary sources? Who other than news orgs will produce secondary sources to demonstrate the notability of an ongoing event? Do you have anything to point to supporting this interpretation?  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 19:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Vanilla Wizard The fact that contemporary news coverage is a primary source is overwhelmingly accepted in academia.
    • Harvard Library: Some types of primary sources: [...] news film footage, contemporary newspaper articles
    • MIT Libraries: Newspapers are valuable primary sources for historical research
    • University of Cambridge Library: Primary sources are first-hand accounts of a topic. They can include [...] newspapers
    • University of Toronto Libraries: What can be a primary source? Think about what kinds of primary sources might be related to your topic: [...] newspapers
    • University of California Berkley Library Think about what types of primary sources might have been produced that would be relevant to your topic; think also about which persons or organizations might have produced materials. Some possible types of sources: [...] Newspapers and magazines
    • The University of Queensland Library: News and newspapers are a type of primary source.
    I find it baffling that it's being presented as a secondary source by a handful of AfD users on Wikipedia. The whole point of having a secondary source, and the reason they're required for notability, is because they're removed from the subject and they compile already available information. News reports by definition provide new information. If an event has been covered in secondary sources like books, journals, or other retrospective coverage, then it is notable. If it is only covered in newspapers, then it's most likely not notable. For example, the 2020 Beirut explosion meets GNG because several books have been written about it and you can find extensive commentary that exists after the event took place. You'd be hard pressed to find a car crash that's been covered to this extent, so specific car crashes probably aren't notable. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 20:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not just "a handful of AfD users" that regard news organizations as secondary sources. I've never seen anyone say otherwise until just now. I've been here for six years and never once have I heard someone regard news coverage as primary sources on Wikipedia. WP:PRIMARY sources on the encyclopedia are sources that are close to the event, typically from those directly involved, e.g. witnesses. Secondary sources are a step removed and synthesize primary sources to offer analysis. News articles are secondary sources on the encycloepdia. If your standard is that no article can exist until books are written about it, no article about a current, ongoing, or recent event can exist on the encyclopedia, and that's just not how it works. When I asked if you had anything to point to, I was hoping you'd respond with the text of some Wikipedia policy or guideline.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 21:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I assumed that actual reliable sources confirming it would be the end of the discussion, but you're now presenting your opinion as if it outweighs what reliable sources say. If you want policy, there's WP:RS: All breaking news stories, without exception, are primary sources, and must be treated with caution. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • See WP:PRIMARYNEWS. A newspaper is a primary source if it reports events, but a secondary source if it analyses and comments on those events. "Breaking news as a primary source" would be along the lines of The wire service announces that a prominent politician has been taken to the hospital. The weather service says that a tornado touched down. But you'd be hard pressed to find any news sources with no analysis. See the "Examples of news reports as secondary sources" section. I wasn't offering my opinion, I was referencing what WP:PRIMARY says. You could also see that WP:NEVENTS, which you invoked, states In-depth coverage includes analysis that puts events into context, such as is often found in books, feature length articles in major news magazines (like The Guardian, Time, Newsweek, or The Economist), and TV news specialty shows (such as 60 Minutes or CNN Presents in the US, or Newsnight in the UK) - the view that anything published by a news organization is a primary source and does not determine notability is unarguably wrong. If it was as black-and-white as "all content published by news organizations is a primary source and matters not when determining notability, no current events warrant articles, wait for books to be written", then we wouldn't have an entire section of the main page dedicated to articles about breaking news. This shouldn't need explaining.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 22:22, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't say that anything published by a news organization is automatically a primary source. You're the only one that's used "news organization" in this discussion. Any source created while the event is occurring or developing (or by someone who was present while it was) is a primary source, including contemporary news reports. I also didn't say that "no current events warrant articles". WP:NEVENTS provides valid SNG exceptions where sources don't need to be found right away. If you don't want to acknowledge what I've already confirmed with reliable sources, that's your choice, but please don't attribute things to me when I didn't say them. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was not an unfair interpretation to suggest you are stating that current events cannot be covered considering you are still saying Any source created while the event is occurring or developing, nor is it an unfair characterization to say that you are suggesting that anything published by newspapers about a breaking event is a primary source when you've said, and continue to say, exactly that. I also got the impression that you did not disagree with these characterizations as I stated them in each reply and you did not until now indicate disagreement. "News coverage does not confer notability", "News coverage is a primary source", "If it has only been covered in newspapers, then it's not notable", and other sweeping statements strongly implied the arguments I've been responding to. In any case, what you've said is incompatible with Wikipedia policy, including the policies you've invoked, and external references to support the claim that news coverage is a primary source are irrelevant when we (seemingly?) agree that, on Wikipedia, news coverage can be a secondary source, provided that it offers analysis. You never critiqued any source for lacking analysis, you simply noted that the sources are news (or rather, published by news organizations), and decried that they're all primary sources as a result. I think we've beat this horse to death by now, so I'll leave you be, but I sincerely hope that you don't make these arguments in other AfDs going forward, or at least phrase them differently in the future if I've severely misunderstood what you are and are not arguing.

Comment: Would IAR closing this and renominating this for ITN on July 10 be appropriate? Aaron Liu (talk) 19:41, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While I do believe that nomination was prematurely closed as this AfD had and continues to have a pretty clear consensus against deleting, and it's a disruptive nomination per WP:RAPID (in general, if something is a current candidate for ITN/C, it's probably RAPID to AfD tag it as ITN covers breaking news), I have to say that at this point it's not breaking enough that a fresh new ITN/C nomination would be likely to succeed and I don't recommend trying. Instead of closing the ITN/C nomination, the closer should've closed this AfD instead and posted the ITN/C nom, but it's too late now.  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 21:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, sorry to say, zero proposing this as a guideline really means nothing. I think the point is we have been shown a fact by Headbomb which indicates much support, which fits with the reality of the situation. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 16:31, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scopus is a database with 34,346 journals. Do you seriously believe every single one of them is notable? Should we have 34,346 stubs in Wikipedia consisting of nothing but the scarce information Scopus provides about its entries? Tercer (talk) 15:26, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Why would that be a problem? —David Eppstein (talk) 17:43, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It also grossly exaggerates the number when multiple sections often get covered in the same articles (e.g. Acta Crystallographica A, Acta Crystallographica B, Acta Crystallographica C, Acta Crystallographica D, Acta Crystallographica E, Acta Crystallographica F = Acta Crystallographica), etc. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 18:12, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very sensible way to organise information. One wouldn't want to have a ton of nearly identical eternal stubs. One could take it one step further and not only merge together Journal of Physics A, Journal of Physics B, Journal of Physics G, etc., but also merge them together with the article on their publisher IOP Publishing. What little information we have about them can be conveniently displayed there as a table. And unlike the individual journals, IOP Publishing is actually notable. Tercer (talk) 19:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because it would be lame and against Wikipedia policy. Thankfully nobody took NJOURNALS seriously and actually created these tens of thousands of stubs. Tercer (talk) 20:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Out of all the journals on the planet? It confers some sort of notability. Oaktree b (talk) 18:52, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't. WP:GNG is very clear that a mention in a gigantic database doesn't imply notability, you need to have significant coverage. Tercer (talk) 19:30, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop pushing falsehoods. GNG mentions databases once. That mention is very clear that database coverage may need to be examined to determine whether or not it confers notability, a very different thing from stating that it automatically does not. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Now you're just insulting me. The actual quote from WP:GNG is Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources. Unlike your selective misquotation, it's being negative about databases, not ambivalent. Together with an actual quote from WP:SIGCOV: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, it's clear that one entry in a gigantic database doesn't count. Tercer (talk) 21:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your reading comprehension insults itself. Did you see that word "may"? May not support notability when examined. If it were intended to mean that it cannot support notability and would not need examining to make that determination, it would have been worded differently.
Anyway, "database" just means a large repository of data, organized in a structured way. Google books is a database, one that happens to contain full-text content of many books. Most newspapers organize their content in databases. Doing so does not magically invalidate the contents of those sources. One has to examine the source to determine the reliability, depth, and independence in each case rather than using blanket rules. Exactly as our guideline says. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:13, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Now you're intentionally misunderstanding what I just wrote. There's no point in continuing a conversation under these circumstances. Tercer (talk) 21:29, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Hard fail of WP:GNG. After the last AfD there was a great effort in finding sources about this journal. The best they could find was a passing mention dismissing it. WP:SIGCOV is clear that much more is needed. Furthermore, that source is itself published in a completely unknown journal, that I couldn't find in either SCIE and Scopus. I suspect the only reason they found it reliable is because it's saying what they want to hear. Tercer (talk) 15:23, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I tend to think that indexing alone is not quite sufficient, but here we have a published evaluative opinion, more than we get for most good journals. There is also some in-depth coverage at [15] which (as published in the same journal) is not independent and maybe dubiously reliable, but still could be quoted to explain the motivation for founding the journal. Unfortunately I do not seem to have subscription access to that source; maybe someone else does. Beyond the sourcing, this article serves an encyclopedic purpose in explaining why publications in this journal are WP:FRINGE and cannot be relied on. (The quote I have in mind from the link above would emphasize the same point, and suggests that it was fringe as a founding principle rather than once being good and degenerating to fringe.) A lot of the animus against this journal, apparent from its repeated nomination despite strong support in the previous AfD, appears to stem from its fringe status, but that is the wrong reaction. When something is fringe science, but prominent as fringe science, we should explain its fringe nature rather than casting it from us as an abomination. Fringe topics that have no properly neutral mainstream source to warn us of their fringe nature may need deletion regardless of notability because we cannot cover them in a properly neutral way, but that exception does not arise here. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:17, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Please don't count me as having this animus. The problem I have with this article is the absence of sources. I have no problem with articles about fringe journals that have sources, such as Progress in Physics. Tercer (talk) 19:28, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What a bizarre choice of example. Our current article on Progress in Physics has no non-database sources, and no mainstream sources that attest to its fringe nature, unlike this one. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:59, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I had this source in mind, that for some strange reason is in the external links section. Yes, it's just some professor complaining about a paper in the journal to its editor, but Physics Essays doesn't clear even this extremely low bar. If you want another example take viXra then, the fringiest of the fringe. Tercer (talk) 20:53, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep, largely per David Eppstein, who puts it very well. The fact that it is a fringey journal is not a reason to delete the page, but to write the page in such a manner that explains to our readers what this thing really is. The independent sourcing is marginal for our purposes (and thus, my "weak" opinion), but I think it is sufficient for having a page about it. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:12, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I dug up a few more passing mentions in reliable sources (Physics Today/Nature/NYT), and a more lengthy treatment by a local newspaper. I think we've got enough for WP:GNG, though it definitely is not enough for a long article. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 23:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. NJOURNALS is an essay and meeting it carries zero weight. The coverage that I found (linked somewhere above) is a single sentence. That is not nearly enough to contribute to GNG. Coverage by the journal itself is obviously not independent and counts for zilch as well. The only other material we have on this topic is the fact that it at one point successfully applied to be indexed by Scopus and thus received the autogenerated metrics Scopus produces for every journal in its database. That is decidedly not secondary independent SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll note that I am assessing the new sources the same way I assess any topic for GNG-meeting coverage, although NCORP is clearly what the standard should be as journals are businesses.
    Ref #2 (Nature "Page charges") is a primary letter to the editor and so does not count towards GNG Red XN.
    Ref #3 (the obit in AIP for Ugo Fani) is by a Physics Essays editor: not independent, and is not significant anyway Red XN.
    Ref #4 (NYT obit) quotes a separate obit written by the same PE editor in PE but does not otherwise provide more than a passing mention of the journal Red XN.
    Ref #5 (Nature obit) is another passing mention Red XN.
    Refs #6–9 (AIP matters, price lists) are a primary, non-independent announcement about a partnership between AIP and PE; and primary, non-independent pricing lists Red XN.
    Ref #10 (Pocono) is a credulous local-news human interest story about a podiatrist's FRINGE challenge to the fine structure constant (or something). It reports only what the podiatrist said about the journal, which is not independent coverage Red XN.
    Ref #11 (CAS source index) leads to a blank page, but would be primary database metrics anyway Red XN.
    Ref #12 (MIAR) is pure non-independent primary database metrics Red XN.
    Ref #13 (Clarivate) is just a link to the Web of Science search page but would not contain secondary independent SIGCOV anyway Red XN.
    Ref #14 (INSPIRE HEP) is a list of articles in PE Red XN.
    Ref #15 (Thomson Reuters) is a single-word announcement that Thomson Reuters has dropped PE Red XN.
    Ref #16 (Thomson Reuters 2013 JCR) just links to the wiki page on JCR, but would not contain secondary independent SIGCOV anyway Red XN.
    Ref #17–19 (Scopus, SCImago, 2021 JCR) are pure non-independent primary database metrics, a page that says SCImago for PE was discontinued, and the 2021 version of ref #16 Red XN.
    If we were to consider any of these items SIGCOV, the same standard would justify the creation of several million athletes, objects, foods, etc. that also appear in "selective" databases and receive "coverage" in the form of automatic primary database entry comparisons and proprietary metrics. JoelleJay (talk) 00:53, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    My recommendation would be to redirect the page to some list of journals that have been described as fringe/unreliable/whatever, with a brief summary of its status. That way anyone searching for it will learn it is unreliable, but we won't be boosting its visibility or legitimacy by giving it the same treatment we give real journals. JoelleJay (talk) 00:59, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Re your last paragraph: We really need a corollary to WP:SOAPBOX, as an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. Just as we should not slant our coverage to promote non-notable topics that we think are deserving, we should also not slant our coverage to avoid promoting topics we think do not deserve promotion. Notability or non-notability should be the reason for an opinion here, not whether the subject is legitimated by having a Wikipedia article or whether we can performatively delegitimate it by deleting its article. (Also, surely if we did want to delegitimate it, the way to do so would be to have an article describing it as fringe and as having been delisted by the selective indexes, rather than just staying silent about it.) —David Eppstein (talk) 07:43, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe you could engage with my coverage analysis rather than soapboxing over one sentence? JoelleJay (talk) 01:41, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't respond to your coverage analysis because I didn't find anything problematic with it. It is the sort of analysis of depth of sources that should happen at AfDs. I disagree with your opinion on how much depth of coverage is necessary but there's nothing wrong with that kind of disagreement. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    And not all sources need to be there for WP:N purposes. WP:V purposes is more than a fine reason to cite them. One aspect of that analysis that's wrong is that Scopus/JCR/MIAR/etc... are primary sources or non-independent. They aren't, they're secondary sources and are independent.
    Personally I don't care much about the Ugo Fani content. That belongs on the Fani article more than on Physics Essays article. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:55, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If the content from indexing services is secondary SIGCOV, then why does NJOURNALS only consider the "selective" ones to be SIGCOV? The selectivity has zero effect on the amount of coverage provided by the source. To quote David from another thread: using the selectivity of a source to evaluate the significance of a subject is the sort of thing you would do under a significance-based notability criterion, one that evaluates subjects based on what they have done rather than on their depth of coverage. [...] But that is not how GNG works. And if you can get secondary SIGCOV from automated numbers like CiteScore and appearing in lists sorted by such metrics, then why are the h-index, publication graphs, and other detailed metrics provided by Scopus for paper authors not SIGCOV? JoelleJay (talk) 18:53, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    why does NJOURNALS only consider the "selective" ones to be SIGCOV same reason why we consider NYT to be count over Bob the Nutball's Blog. DOAJ is a comprehensive listing of all open access journal, which aims to include all such journals, with a minimal filter of excluding the predatory ones. It's secondary, but not significant. JCR and Scopus, on the other hand, have a much higher bars to clear, and that's where the significance comes from. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:14, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "Significance" refers to the depth of coverage provided by a source, not to the prestige of the source itself.
    Non-expert blogs are not counted at all due to being SPS, but even if you use a valid comparison like NYT vs Yakima Herald, the same article does not "contain more SIGCOV" when published in the former than it does in the latter! You seem to be confusing indicators of notability, which don't really count for anything outside PAGEDECIDE, with the actual establishment of a GNG pass through SIGCOV in IRS, which is essentially outlet-agnostic all else being the same.
    And again, why do the comparably-extensive Scopus metrics available for authors and papers not count whatsoever toward SIGCOV? If Scopus, with its haughty requirements of "publishing for 2+ years" and "having an editorial board that isn't all cranks" and "scope of more than regional interest" is so selective, shouldn't it be just as notable for an individual researcher to have a Scopus profile, since that shows they've received attention from (likely) multiple journals illustrious enough to be indexed there?

Comment: MICHAEL 942006 That is a truly remarkable reason to advance for keeping a page: "keep it because if we agree not keep it someone may defy consensus and re-create it." Presumably that argument can be applied to any deletion, so we should never delete anything. I don’t think you will find any support for that argument in any Wikipedia policy. As for "you will be arguing again and again", it is precisely to avoid that problem that we have criterion for speedy deletion G4. JBW (talk) 09:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
G4 only solves the "arguing again and again" problem when there is consensus to delete. As you can see with this very AfD, it doesn't solve the "arguing again and again" problem when there is no consensus to delete but some people feel strongly that there should be one. Perhaps there should be a WP:SK criterion for re-nominations after a keep that fail to advance any new rationale, but there does not appear to be one. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:59, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of organizations opposing mainstream science § Journals or Delete. One opinion and bunch of uncontextualized statistics is not significant coverage. JoelleJay's source analysis is quite compelling. The truth is that this journal fails WP:GNG. However, the current information is valuable, so I would not want to see it get deleted. I believe a merge would be the best choice. Ca talk to me! 12:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You cannot merge information into a list article; it is inherently an index, and is restricted to essentially a one-sentence description. Also, the other organizations seem to each have their own page, which supports this perspective. —Quondum 01:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Frank Anchor, indexing on Scopus is not a valid notability criterion. JoelleJay (talk) 01:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Correct, by the letter of policy, it is not explicitly a criterion for notability. However, WP:IAR is a policy and common sense dictates that the significant prior inclusion in a major citation database, along with the coverage listed that is at least borderline-GNG, shows that Wikipedia is better for having this article present. Frank Anchor 12:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Normally IAR does not fly as a keep rationale at AfDs. But maybe this balances out with the admission below that the speedy renomination after a previous keep was also based on IAR. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Normally IAR does not fly as a keep rationale at AfDs because voters tend to use it out of desperation for a lost cause. In this case, I brought up IAR to show there are cases in which the rules aren’t perfect and there are cases in which they need not be applied rigidly. Frank Anchor 19:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This discussion is clear evidence that this junk fringe journal is notable; the incredible nature of the content and lack of citations are not relevant to its notability. The article cites evidence of the journal's problems, making it valuable reading material for anyone looking up the journal by name. The content of the article causes no material, psychological, or physical harm. Deleting the article won't delete the journal; the world is not smarter just because we don't talk about dumb. Johnjbarton (talk) 17:34, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep First, on procedural grounds, rerunning an AfD only a week after the previous one closed is typically out of line. If there was some question about whether the closer evaluated the consensus properly, then this should have gone to DRV instead. Second, also on procedural grounds, the nominator has voiced support for a merge, indicating that this is the wrong venue after all. Third, the matter of whether or not WP:NJOURNALS is officially a "guideline" is pretty much beside the point. We delete articles on the basis of essays all the bloody time; ever !voted "delete per WP:TNT"? Or, for that matter, "keep per WP:HEY"? Linking to an essay is just saying, "I think this is good advice and applicable in the present circumstances." Maybe it's less of a rhetorical slam dunk than pointing to a document with a weightier consensus behind it, but I am far from convinced that the distinction matters here. All a "per WP:NJOURNALS" !vote does is to say, "Yes, in my opinion, the sources present count as 'significant' and adequately 'in-depth' (and rather than typing out myself all the reasons why, I will point to this page that I agree with)". Before the prior AfD, one could have made the argument that this journal having a Wikipedia article made it look more respectable than it is, but now we have a sourced statement calling it garbage and another calling it sleazy, so that concern no longer applies. XOR'easter (talk) 17:30, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I've participated in a good 1000+ AfDs and almost none of them have been closed on the basis of meeting an essay criterion, and those that have have generally been swiftly overturned. Much like WP:TOOSOON, WP:TNT and WP:HEY are not !vote rationales, they are references to the actual guidelines that the !voters believe have been met. NJOURNALS operates on the assumption that primary, autogenerated catalogue data and metrics can ever count towards GNG, which isn't in line with any PAG. JoelleJay (talk) 01:37, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If you think the close was erroneous, then a renomination is the incorrect procedure for addressing that. We have WP:DRV for that sort of thing. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The reason I nominated this article for deletion because I evaluated the consensus at the fringe theory noticeboard and deemed that a renom should be made. It is not my opinion. Rerunning an AfD only a week after is out of line, but I applied WP:IAR since I saw a consensus. Ca talk to me! 10:27, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    @Nanosci, do you think NJOURNALS is a Wikipedia guideline? JoelleJay (talk) 01:22, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    NJOURNALS references at least one guideline - GNG, just like the other writings that you mentioned reference guidelines. And editors refer to essays during AfD and other discussions all the time - past and present. There is no way to tell if they explicilty mean the essay or the guidelines you say are referred to. Yet, they are accepted as an Ivote for keep or delete. It is indeed a rich history that we have here on Wikipedia. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:06, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A quote from the essay reads: Even if editors personally believe a journal is "important" or "inherently notable", journals are only accepted as notable if they have attracted notice in reliable sources. Yet no one have yet to provide GNG-meeting sources. Ca talk to me! 06:32, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    You are obviously entitled to your view, which is what you seem to be stating. My view it has attracted GNG-meeting sources, as discussed above. And, discussions such as this are important to the process for determining the fate of the an article. And that is what is happening. Otherwise, AfDs would not be needed. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 17:06, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Plenty of notability essays allege that their criteria correspond to GNG, and they are still treated as invalid justifications at AfD because they are not real guidelines. I've participated in 1000+ AfDs, many of which contained editors saying "keep meets [NESSAY]", and those !votes are disregarded. NJOURNALS also does not state that meeting NJOURNALS meets GNG, it vaguely says something about the "spirit" of GNG. But even if it did, that would be false because the criteria in NJOURNALS are plainly separate from GNG. And if it was supposed to be merely a predictor of GNG, then users would need to actually show that GNG sourcing existed since the presumption is not based on a consensus guideline but rather on a niche essay.
    If you are arguing that the non-index sources above meet GNG, then that's another thing (which I believe is rebutted with my source analysis). But the majority of the editors here who are citing NJOURNALS are citing the fact that it was indexed by Scopus, not the "coverage" it has received by non-index sources. They are treating it as a de facto notability conferrer, which is not permitted by policy. JoelleJay (talk) 17:51, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"which is not permitted by policy" You seem to forget that WP:IAR is policy. Wikipedia is better for having this article than not. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a problem with editors using IAR as a one-off in exceptional circumstances. But that is not what most keep editors are arguing; they are arguing that NJOURNALS confers notability, which it does not, and/or that the metrics from "selective" indices constitute IRS SIGCOV, which they do not. IAR also doesn't override NPOV, which is inevitably violated in articles that can only be sourced to themselves and trivial primary sources, so it's not an option to IAR NJOURNALS into a real guideline against/without consensus. JoelleJay (talk) 02:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say, but the above comment is a misrepresentation. Putting aside IAR - NJOURNALS has a history of conferring notability for academic journal articles based on selective indices whether or not there are metrics involved. Hence, journal articles are not sourced only to themselves and only trivial primary sources. The indices have historically been considered secondary independent sourcing, and are still considered as such. NJOURNALS has been applied as a guidance and it does have consensus as shown by Headbomb above. NJOURNALS also has consensus that is demonstrated by WikiProject Academics membership (participants)[16], and the 60 or so new articles listed on that page [17]. So, please stop misrepresenting the facts. It is not a consensus that you want, but it is the consensus that exists. In the end, NPOV is not violated by this process. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:43, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is simply not true. The only way to measure consensus it's to actually argue about the subject. Luckily we don't need to make shit up, there is right now a passionate discussion in the talk page of NJOURNALS, with several editors supporting it and several editors opposing it. This is not what a consensus looks like. Tercer (talk) 07:12, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the happenings over at that page is some sort of consensus discussion. And, based on the definition you have provided, NJOURNALS was argued about in deletion and other discussions during its illustrious 10+ year history. In any case, the support is not based on thin air. It is based on brass tacks participation on the ground. --Steve Quinn (talk) 19:05, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NJOURNALS is not a guideline, full stop. Its usage at AfD reflects LOCALCON, not global consensus. Guidelines can only be established through high level RfC consensus from the entire community. Headbomb's AfD search results include all mentions of "NJOURNALS"; a brief scan suggests most of the time it is invoked alongside real guidelines like NORG and GNG, and the subject kept/deleted due to meeting/not meeting GNG. E.g. The result was delete. The main guideline-based argument given for deletion was failing the general notability guideline (GNG) due to lack of substantial, in-depth coverage of the subject. Notability of journals (NJOURNAL), however, is neither a guideline or policy.[18] The majority of these AfDs also appear to have some subset of the same pro-NJOURNAL participants ± confused editors who think NJOURNALS actually is a guideline and thus feel "compelled" to !vote keep,[19] which suggests a WALLEDGARDEN more than a broad consensus -- this is especially true in AfDs ending in keep based on meeting NJOURNAL.[20] Additionally, consensus can change, and more recent discussions have indicated that when editors outside of the academia wiki-niche participate there is considerably less acceptance of NJOURNALS as guidance. E.g. The result was delete. The "keep" opinions are weaker. They are based on the supposed academic importance of the journal as per WP:NJOURNAL, a page that has essay status - that is, it does not reflect Wikipedia community consensus. The "delete" opinions, on the other hand, stress the lack of reliable independent sources that cover this journal. This is a very strong (and unrebutted) argument, because it reflects WP:V, a core policy.[21]
The result was delete. Even if I found the point on passing WP:NJOURNAL was made out, which I don't, that is an essay and passing it does not show notability I am afraid.[22]

  • Delete per nom. 123 Telagu source is usable, but I'm unconvinced that Tollywood is reliable. It has been discussed only once at RSN on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 376#Wanted to know whether these websites are reliable sources. The discussion involved one editor making a neutral note, another giving a detailed analysis on why the site is unreliable, followed by another editor adding the ref to WP:UPSD, which seems to affirm unreliability. Admittedly a RS discussion with only two participants offering views probably shows that there is only weak consensus for unreliability, but clearly it does not seem like this site should be presumed as a RS for its reviews (also the site doesn't have a clear editorial policy, at least for the English version). In contrast, The Times of India source linked above is only a WP:MREL source. Moreover, in this case the coverage is extensively quotes. I don't think that quotes would automatically discount a source from independence and SIGCOV, but in this case excluding the quotes the ref has only two short paragraphs and another one-sentence paragraph, which is insufficient for SIGCOV IMO. Likewise, other refs in the article are even shorter and similarly fails SIGCOV or independence. My search could not find more sources contributing to WP:GNG and WP:NFILM so this is a delete, and I respectfully disagree with the analysis above. VickKiang (talk) 05:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete per VickKiang's analysis. We lack sufficient independent, reliable sources to support an article. The delete is weak because I'd prefer to fight systematic bias by keeping mainstream but relatively low profile Indian films and because I am relying on other editors' analysis of the Telegu language sources. But we need a solid base from which to work and that is lacking here. Eluchil404 (talk) 21:38, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable musician, fails WP:MUSICBIO. The Rolling Stone article (Boston Come Back) is the only source which looks to be WP:RS, and that's largely a passing mention. My own searching didn't find anything better.

I could probably just redirect this to Boston (band) on my own per WP:BANDMEMBER but given the controversy that's going on (WP:AN thread, SPI) I figured it was better to get a more authoritative decision. RoySmith (talk) 14:18, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep, alternatively, redirect to Boston (band). He's pretty borderline for WP:NMUSIC - per that, individual musicians are redirected to their bands unless they individually satisfy notability guidelines, and I'm not sure he does. He does have a few articles from Billboard and another news outlet, though. They're pretty scant, but it's something, and they cover his solo work since he left Boston.

  • Redirect to Boston (band). Just about all of the info on this musician is about his time in Boston, so his temporary membership can be discussed there, while his songwriting credits are already covered in the article for the one album on which he appeared. His non-Boston work has received no reliable coverage and is only visible in promotional announcements and the usual streaming services. And finally, he was discussed in articles about the lawsuit in which he was sued for promoting himself as a former member of Boston (linked by a commenter above), which means that he has few other ways to promote himself. That also shows that there is no need for his own article here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've been following him for 20 years. Not notable? People want to know what the musicians in these highly popular bands are doing today. There are at least 20 musicians that have been in Boston and because they were in the band Boston makes each and everyone of them notable. Steve Hackett, Lawrence Juber and many other musicians shouldn't have a Wiki page according to the poster above. That's crazy. If you were in a popular band that sold millions of records.

  • Redirect. For what it's worth, the Billboard sources are not Billboard magazine, but Billboard Sound, which appears to be its press release offshoot. The "interview" (and all others like it on the site) appear to be the same generic template questions filled in exclusively with the artist's own answers. There is nothing to indicate this is actual journalism, as there is nothing written by an independent author (here just credited as "Staff") to reinforce or contradict anything the artist said. I'd say this is a very poor quality source for establishing notability. Rift (talk) 20:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Artificial intelligence in mathematics

Artificial intelligence in mathematics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This article consists only of WP:SYNTHESIS. This is clearly aknowleged by the unique content editor of the article (Cosmia Nebula), who wrote in Talk:Artificial intelligence in mathematics#Original synthesis: "My intention is to provide a balanced, verifiable exploration of AI's role in mathematics".

The article cannot be rewritten into an article respecting WP policies, since there are very few, if any, successful applications of artificial intelligence to mathematics. On the opposite, there are many application of mathematics to artificial intelligence. So, the article title does not respect WP:NPOV, by suggesting that a minor aspect of the relationship between artificial intelligence and mathematics is the major one.

Before being a true article, the article was a redirect to computational mathematics, where artificial intelligence is not mentioned. As there is no other convenient target for transforming this article into a redirect, the only acceptable solution is to delete this article. D.Lazard (talk) 13:04, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@D.Lazard: Is automated theorem proving not a subfield of artificial intelligence, and does it not represent a successful application of artificial intelligence to mathematics? Jarble (talk) 18:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@D.Lazard:"suggesting that a minor aspect of the relationship between artificial intelligence and mathematics is the major one".
The article's title simply reflects its focus -- the use and role of AI in mathematics -- and does not assert that this aspect is the most significant or the only one. Its existence doesn't diminish or overshadow the value of other perspectives, such as "Mathematics in Artificial Intelligence". Its presence doesn't negate the need or value of the other articles, which people are free to write. These articles exist to provide separate, focused information. Significance is not a zero-sum game. As a live example, consider Artificial intelligence in government. The title does not imply the application of AI to government is more important than of the government's role in regulating or promoting AI.
Only by deliberate policy distortion could you understand my statement "My intention is to provide a balanced, verifiable exploration of AI's role in mathematics" as an intention to provide WP:SYNTHESIS. If I were to be more careful with words I would have said something like "The intended purpose of the article is to provide a useful paraphrase from verified secondary sources."
The accusation of WP:SYNTHESIS is invalid, as the article can be written based on only review articles, examples of which are this from 2021: Towards the Automatic Mathematician.
Over the recent years deep learning has found successful applications in mathematical reasoning. Today, we can predict fine-grained proof steps, relevant premises, and even useful conjectures using neural networks.
Or a more recent, popular report from the New York Times: A.I. Is Coming for Mathematics, Too.
Concerning possible objection that contents of the article can be incorporated into other articles: Computational mathematics is a very poor fit for redirection, since it is almost entirely used in the sense of "numerical modeling and simulation". Nor is Automatic theorem proving appropriate as there is more to AI applications in mathematics than automatic deduction. There is also automated inductive reasoning/conjecturing, as one can see from the review articles, or the essay by Terence Tao given below. Note specifically that it is not limited to formal verification or automatic theorem proving ("The 2023-level AI can already generate suggestive hints and promising leads to a working mathematician and participate actively in the decision-making process.").
The article meets WP:SIGNIFICANCE, as application of AI to mathematics is long recognized by experts working in AI (Marvin Minsky, John McCarthy, etc), and there are conferences and journals (International Conference on Automated Deduction, Journal of Automated Reasoning, etc) dedicated to the field. They are being recognized by mathematicians, too, such as Terence Tao in Embracing change and resetting expectations, so it has WP:POTENTIAL to grow, as per eventualism. pony in a strange land (talk) 19:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment The first article ("Advancing mathematics by guiding human intuition with AI") is certainly an interesting case study. I am not sure we can infer much from this about AI in mathematics in general though. In case people did not notice, of the list of authors three seems to be academic mathematicians (who presumably provided the required mathematical background for posing the problems examined). All the other 11 authors were employees of DeepMind. So this really reads as an advertisement for the company's capabilities more than anything else, more than an analysis of AI in mathematics in general. As for the NY Times article, I can't comment as it is behind a paywall.

  • comment (somewhere between "delete" and "needs a major cleanup and focusing"). The first section, and the above comments, about AI aiding in generating new conjectures, or suggesting proof strategies fits with the title. Is it significant and written about enough for its own article? Maybe... The second section I do not understand the relevance. As I read it, it says that a mathematical technique TTT is used to solve mathematical problem PPP. The link is that technique TTT is also used in AI? But that just means that some mathematical theorems are useful in many areas of mathematics, which is no news, that's just normal in mathematics. In short: the first section may have potential, the second section seems irrelevant, it is mathematics beeing mathematics (not AI involved). One problem (on the article, or on my reasoning) may be a lack of clear definition of what AI is, beyond the enthusiasm of the day. - Nabla (talk) 23:43, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as all content in the Applications section belongs in computer-assisted proof and all content in the Logical AI section seems to be irrelevant to the topic. Gumshoe2 (talk) 18:54, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The boundaries of what counts as "artificial intelligence" are both vague and time-dependent (and lately it has become little more than branding), so the scope of any article with this title is unclear. Computer algebra is an encyclopedic topic, as is computer-assisted proof, but "artificial intelligence in mathematics"? Not so much. We should aspire to be something better than a junk drawer of stuff mentioned at HackerNews. XOR'easter (talk) 20:10, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect to computer-assisted proof (not sure how much there is to merge that isn't already covered in that article). I think the nom's interpretation of the article creator's intent is rather uncharitable, but the definitional problems pointed out by various contributors above are real and likely fatal at this stage. It seems noteworthy that most of the sources that purport to be about AI and mathematics actually end up talking about fairly narrow and specific applications. Perhaps in the future there will be enough scholarly debate around what "AI" actually means in the context of mathematics to support an article on that topic. -- Visviva (talk) 02:42, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Visviva. I'm not completely comfortable with this merge for a few related reasons. First, automated reasoning seems like a more general possible target. Relatedly, historically, the meaning of AI was a bit different. Formal logic led pretty directly to the field of AI and the line between automated reasoning and AI was almost nonexistent. We now think of AI as something that gets close to passing a Turing test or even AGI. But for decades that was not what the field of AI was really focused on. This leads to my last point. I worry that we may be seeing a recency bias towards "new" AI rather than covering the entire field of AI. What do you think? —siroχo 03:09, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think those are good points, and it's definitely not my field, but I am struck that the three mentions of "mathematics" in automated reasoning are either about computer-assisted proofs or old-fashioned proofs with no connection to computers. That still leaves me thinking that computer-assisted proof is the more precise target here. That said, I came into this discussion expecting to support a WP:TNT deletion to allow for the creation of a broad-concept article (BCA) here, since articles on these large, slippery topics are hard to write from scratch -- and represent something of an exception to WP:PRESERVE since IMX they are even harder to rewrite from a bad start. I still don't think that such a deletion would be a bad outcome here. But unless someone is volunteering to take a crack at a BCA right now (which is definitely not supported by the sources currently on hand), to my inexpert mind, it seems the referenced content we actually have here is substantially about computer-assisted proof, so my inclination is to merge whatever's mergeable to that article, and hope that something fresh might eventually sprout from the redirect. -- Visviva (talk) 04:14, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for going in-depth on your opinion! I think these are fair points about a BCA, though I'm a bit more optimistic that what we have being able to evolve into one. I don't think I have it in me to start a BCA right now, but I am also less uncomfortable with the idea of the suggested merge. I'll think on whether I want to change my !vote, but at the very least it's a bit softer now. —siroχo 04:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two of them are just algorithms in the same way that Gaussian elimination or the Euclidean algorithm are algorithms, just step by step processes. The third is just a kind of mathematical object like a group or a field is a kind of object. There are no sources indicating their special connection with artificial intelligence.

Completely unreferenced article about a song. This literally just states that the song exists, the end, and cites absolutely no sources at all -- but the mere fact that a song charted somewhere is not in and of itself an instant notability freebie that exempts a song from actually having to have any sourcing to support any substantive content about it, so this as written is not enough all by itself.
Obviously I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with much better access to archived US media coverage from the 1960s than I've got can find enough sourcing to salvage it -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have any sourcing.

I followed this article for over a decade, and I think it's safe to say that it appears impossible to convert into something useful for an Encyclopedia.

The current article consists essentially of three parts. First well-referenced overview where with inputs from academics questioning the existence of the article subject. Then a few examples of presence of fascist movements on the continent, but with the exception of SA these are essentially presence of European fascist movements in diaspora/colonial frameworks. Here there is really no WP:RS that connect the dots. Even if we are to accept the argument that Egyptian Greenshirts was a fascist movement, there is nothing sourced that would connect the Egyptians with South African far right politics. Whether And lastly some listing of leaders and groups that have been accused of fascism (with 'fascism' being reduced to a pejorative), conflating authoritarianism and fascism. There is nothing that glues together the article, apart from OR. Soman (talk) 13:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but isn't this more or less what we have in the article at the moment, different scholars debating whether some aspects of African politics can be referred to 'fascism' or not? In that case we should have an article on the scholarly debate in itself, without any pretense of listing different organizations. --Soman (talk) 13:51, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The articles for the wikilinked churches are both very badly referenced, and I don't see anything better in their fi.wp articles.
    @Julle and Alexandermcnabb: Did you look at the fi.wp sources in detail? #1 and #5 are database entries, with #1 being just the DOB and DOD, and #2-#4 appear to be WP:SPS. I'm not sure what fi.wp references you refer to (hah). -Ljleppan (talk) 07:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    You mean the en.wp article we're discussing here? The one where the references consist solely of a name+DOB+DOD in a database (ref #1, Structurae), a database entry of a cathedral he designed (ref #2, kyppi.fi), another database entry consisting of name+DOB+DOD (ref #3, Kringla) and a list entry of a total of 130 characters (un-numbered ref Sveriges och Norges statskalender)? That's incredibly far from reaching WP:GNG. Ljleppan (talk) 08:12, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe the coat of arms of the city suffices, otherwise Unless someone reads Finnish I think we can call WP:IAR on explicitly requiring newspaper articles about a 200 year old cathedral that survived a battle and an occupation. —siroχo 08:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I read Finnish, and searched for Finnish language sources. The refs used at fi:Kuopion tuomiokirkko are all rather bad. Searches for both the architect and the Kuopio cathedral both just return useless hits, like a news blurb about how "there are still a few open slots in the summer for marriage ceremonies". Even the Finnish Heritage Agency listing is just stuff like "Made of stone, building started in X by so-and-so, halted in Z, continued in W, seats replaced in Y". By your call for an IAR keep, I take it that you too have failed to find anything that would actually meet either WP:GNG or WP:NARCHITECT#3. Ljleppan (talk) 08:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I can't read Finnish or Swedish (or Russian for that matter) and don't have access to newspaper archives in either language either. I actually tried to find pre-1900 newspapers in those languages (not even about this topic, just find the newspapers so I could query about the topic) but I literally don't know the languages well enough to find the archives in a reasonable amount of time.
    I'm invoking IAR for this because I believe WP:ARCHITECT#3 applies in spirit here. The purpose of the clause you're querying about really is not to exclude verifiable architects of notable buildings from 200 years ago. It would not serve the encyclopedia to follow this guideline to the letter here. Instead, let's follow the spirit of the guideline, and recognize that it better serves the first and second pillars to include an article about a verifiable architect of multiple notable structures from 200 years ago. —siroχo 11:16, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If you believe the guidelines should be changed, you are naturally free to propose the change on relevant talk page. I'm also rather confused why you keep bringing up pre-1900 newspapers, nothing in the guidelines says the references must be contemporary. Perhaps you are misunderstanding "periodical" in periodical articles or reviews as "period"? Ljleppan (talk) 11:20, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, I happen to have access to archives of historical newspapers and other publications published in Finland, and I can't see any relevant hits in either Finnish or Swedish newspapers. There's someone called "Carl Palmroth" going about; a reverend "A. Palmroth" does something or else; someone called "C. O. Palmroth" has levied a bunch of money from various bank accounts as part of some debt recovery process; a dentist called "R.W. Palmroth" advertises his services; a land survey commissioner called Palmroth is traveling to Hamburg in 1881 (nb: our subject died 1825); someone called "Georg Juhana Palmroth" gets a diamond decorated ring from the Russian Emperor in 1882; a lieutenant Palmroth is going about around 1807 doing something with a first platoon, etc. etc.
    The only even potentially relevant hits are non-news things like this, which lists the name of "Pehr Vilhelm Palmroth" as an ensign of the Royal Uplands Regiment, and this which says the same guy is a conductor in 1809. These contribute nothing towards a GNG pass. Ljleppan (talk) 11:43, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the benefit of everyone, I went to scour the stacks and found the archival copy of Finskt Museum, vol XIX (btw, as far as I could determine, the book is not "in Finnish and Swedish" and the relevant article is only in the Swedish version). The two snippets shown by Google Books is indeed everything there is: two passing mentions. I also checked the separate index, and it contained the following entry: Palmroth, P. W., arkitekt F 1912: 63, 69.. So that appears to be all for that source.
While in the stacks, I also sought out Sveriges kyrkor by Bergman. It mentions Palmroth only a few times. One is in an index of figures on page 594. Another is on a spread, where four drawings are attributed to him in two separate captions (pages 346-347). These drawings are describe briefly in associated text (pages 344-345), in a total of two paragraphs. Palmroth is barely mentioned. He's also mentioned in a three-paragraph description of a 1796 church in Venjan on page 561. The description is an extremely bare-bones description of the church, with Palmroth only mentioned in passing as the architect. Finally, he is mentioned once on page 591 in an English language summary, which appears to translate the three paras from page 561 verbatim, which just demonstrates how bare-bones the description is.
My Swedish is rather rudimentary, so it's possible I missed something, but based on what I saw I consider precisely none of this helpful in terms of GNG. Ljleppan (talk) 14:44, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Above keep !votes put forwards two arguments: either the subject passes WP:GNG (which is equivalent to the "basic criteria" of WP:NBIO), or that the subject passes WP:NARCHITECT#3. I cannot see any supporting evidence for either position.
    In terms of GNG, the references presented in both this article and the fi.wp article are all either bare bones database entries (e.g. Structurae, Kringla), database entries that only mention the subject in passing (e.g. kyppi.fi), passing mentions (Sveriges of Norges statskalendar), self-published (kauvatsankarjalaiset.net, upplandia.se) or combination thereof (pohjois-savonmuisti.fi). This also applies to the sources presented above during the AfD. For example, having looked up physical copies in the local archives, Finskt Museum is two passing mentions. Sveriges kyrkor is not any better. See above for extensive descriptions of my attempts to validate the proposed references.
    A search for Finnish sources, including historical archives of newspapers and other works published in Finland whether in Finnish or Swedish going back to when the subject was alive, reveals no further sourcing that would raise to the level of GNG (or WP:NBASIC or WP:ANYBIO, for that matter).
    As for WP:NARCHITECT#3, the above !votes all conveniently ignore the second sentence of that very point: In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series). No such coverage is evident on the linked Wikipedia articles, and no such coverage has been presented in this discussion.
    The fact that Sveriges kyrkor - a compilation of literally 200+ books taking up several meters of space on shelves and discussing quite literally every Swedish church ever - barely mentions the subject or his works speaks volumes.
    In total, none of the keep votes have put forward the references required by the guidelines they point to. As such, I see no other policy (or guideline) based option but to !vote delete. -Ljleppan (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Could I gently suggest consideration of WP:DROPTHESTICK and WP:BLUDGEON now? The man is 200 years old. He is the (well) documented architect of many, many churches and public buildings in Finland and Sweden. The present clear consensus here is that he is presumed notable per WP:ARCHITECT.

Agree. With full respect for all users.--Patricia (Talk) 17:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Alexandermcnabb: As someone who had argued keep, I disagree. I think that Ljleppan makes a reasonable case, with reasonable arguments, and that no one else is seriously engaging with the discussion about lacking sources. I looked up Palmroth in what I'd describe as the major work on the history of Swedish architecture in modern times (Den svenska arkitekturens historia by Fredric Bedoire), where he's once mentioned in passing because someone else's plans passed through his hands working at the superintendent's office, but there was no mention of his work as an architect. /Julle (talk) 01:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Julie Julle. To engage with the discussion about lacking sources, since the start of this discussion, it clear to me we now have a WP:HEY for WP:BASIC/GNG for the subject via sources now in the article. Consider, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. We now have that. I appreciate your source, and if you feel it helps I would appreciate you adding it, but I understand if you choose not to. Earlier, the discussion got a bit away from us, and that's completely fine, but I think that's why Alexandermcnabb raised their suggestion. —siroχo 02:48, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Siroxo: I'd be happy to !vote keep if you just point out which sources in specific support such a position. But I'd also point out the sentence immediately following what you cited, as well as the explanatory footnote attached to it: trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability. and Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing. See also the rest of the explanatory footnote about database sources. In this case, all we have in reliable sources is trivial mentions such as directory entries or mentions in passing.

  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. If it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND. Here, the references are either not about the company but about a product (which is not the topic of this article) or are based on company announcements or funding announcements and have no "Independent Content" in the form of independent analysis/fact checking/opinion/etc. HighKing++ 12:02, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Does not appear to have been significantly covered by GNG sources, the articles linked in the article have the problems identified by the nominator, there's no German language article to easily check to see if we've missed sources here, and a quick search brings up nothing else of note. Since I may have missed German sources and this was a Women in Red stub, I have absolutely no problem having the article recreated if it meets GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 17:46, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, albeit without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when she's got more coverage. Deputy leader of a political party is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees automatic inclusion in Wikipedia per se, but the referencing here is far, far too heavily dependent on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all — we require reliable source coverage independently analyzing her work in media and/or books, not content self-published by her own party or other organizations she's been directly affiliated with. And if she's already held the role for five months, then the possibility of more media coverage appearing in the future isn't enough to overrule the lack of any media coverage already existing now: the time to start an article about her will be if and when that possible future media coverage actually happens.

A lot of this article was based on an argument that despite what the CSO might think, Swords is in fact Ireland's largest town. I removed this POV, but I'm left wondering if the article is worth salvaging. It's now two censuses out of date. Will it realistically be maintained, and is it the level of detail suitable for Wikipedia? I don't see a benefit in mirroring the CSO data tables for a given town for this level of specific demographic detail, when pertinent ones can be referenced and footnoted on the Swords, Dublin page.

  • Keep on the basis of author publications per David Epstein. I used the Wikipedia Library to search for refs. I found several on newspapers.com which I listed at Talk:Laxmaiah Manchikanti#More refs. After awhile, I gave up filling out citation templates. Dr. Manchikanti appears to be the go-to doctor when major newspapers (NY Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal) are looking for someone to opine on pain management medical practices.
Among other things, Dr. Manchikanti was also the owner of a failed for-profit law school for a few months.
A ProQuest search turned up numerous papers authored by Dr. Manchikanti. He's written at least one professional-level book and contributed to or been cited in others. 150+ hits on this Wikipedia Library search.

This prolific storyteller, poet, playwright, musician, public speaker, actor, and producer has had a long and varied relationship with the performing arts and undoubtedly has worked with some notable people and across a number of performances and venues. I confess I hummed and hawed about this nomination because it felt as if he should, indeed could be notable. However, when you boil it all down, there is no record of sustained or exceptional notability under any of these labels - coverage is interviews or non-RS; there is no "well-known and significant award or honor" or multiple nomination. Ultimately, while undoubtedly widespread in his interests, I believe the subject does not pass WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST (and its multiple associated creative guidelines).

Marked for notability concerns 1.5 years ago. The interactions are minor, one meeting of the President and minister at the side of a UN meeting, one minor memorandum of understanding agreement.

  • Weak delete with partial merges. Some information can be comfortably merged into Foreign relations of Georgia and Foreign relations of Kiribati. It's likely that there are more non-English sources out there, so I am willing to be swayed, but as it stands now does not meet GNG on its own. —siroχo 04:36, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge any useful content. Doesn't appear to have any major relationship. APK whisper in my ear 06:38, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the table cell in Foreign relations of Georgia that currently links to this article (as the substantive information here is Georgia-centric, which makes sense given the historical context). There is an interesting story to be told about Georgia's 2012 diplomatic push in Oceania after Nauru recognized Abkhazia and South Ossetia, which led to diplomatic relations with a number of countries, but we don't quite seem to have the sources to support this level of coverage. (It's discussed a bit here but without much info on Kiribati.) I wonder if there might be Georgian-language sources that would have better detail on the topic, but for now there's probably not enough to be useful. -- Visviva (talk) 03:01, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A niche topic that seems to fail WP:N. A more condensed version of this information can easily be included within Tornadoes of 2023. A previous AfD a few months ago for List of costliest tornadoes in 2022 resulted in an unanimous merge. United States Man (talk) 02:28, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep — Perfectly acceptable per the RfC which this nominator wanted months ago. RfC’s conclusion was editors cannot say a tornado was Xth-costliest without a reliable secondary source. For tropical cyclones, $1 billion was an acceptable minimum for List of costliest Atlantic hurricanes, so why would $1 million for a tornado (noting that with the List of costliest tornadoes in 2022, only 41 tornadoes out of over 1,100 made the $1 million cut) is perfectly acceptable. Over 800 tornadoes already in 2023, just in the US, and only 27 made the cut. Not a “niche” topic nor minimum for the list. Nominator already expressed desire to not use NOAA-related damage totals at all in costliest lists (hence the RfC back in March 2023), so this seems to be a target at tornado-related costliest totals as both this list and the 2022 list was nominated at the same time. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been the subject of low-intensity edit-warring for years. From what I understand, it's basically a sham and keeping the article is giving it undue importance.

  • Delete - there is a Ukrainian article on the subject but English coverage does not meet article quality.

Seems like a pretty clear case of DICDEF to me: note, in the history, the usual celebrity mentions of gate crashers, but these incidents cannot elevate this to an encyclopedic topic.

Demonstrably a populated place (one Lincoln Highway guidebook gives the population as 10, which probably undercounts the effective population, as newspapers show quite a few folks who were "from" or "born in" Tippett; like many fourth-class post office communities, Tippett would likely have served as a locus of identity for the surrounding area). Has significant coverage with many encyclopedic details in Romancing Nevada's Past (Shawn Hall, Univ. Nevada Press, 2016) and probably also in The Lincoln Highway: Nevada (Gregory Franzwa, 1995, appears self-published but by an unquestioned SME in Lincoln Highway history). Widely covered in ghost-town blogs, although probably few of those are RSs. I think this meets the WP:GNG: there is ample material from which to build an article that provides encyclopedic value to the reader. But in any event, as a bona fide populated place with a significant form of government recognition, it passes WP:NGEO. -- Visviva (talk) 01:17, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    While not IMO essential to the question, the following White Pine News clips might be useful in getting a sense of the community once here: (1) a front-page story on an obscure battle over control of voting and mining in the Tippett district, (2) a description of the star routes serving Tippett and neighboring communities shortly before the post office was snuffed out, (3) a report on mining prospects in the Tippett district, (4) a representative Tippett society column. There may be nothing let of Tippett now, but this was no mere mapmaker's fancy. -- Visviva (talk) 02:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A more rigorous policy-based rationale for my !vote follows:
    First, the rules: Under WP:NGEO, Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, while Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Thus, even where a community has received no legal recognition at all, the GNG provides a path to presumed notability. And the GNG of course requires that the article subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, where "significant coverage" must be sufficiently on-topic and detailed that no original research is needed to extract the content. Therefore, regardless of legal recognition, a community is presumed notable (i.e. suitable for a stand-alone article) if it is the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources.
    Next, the sources. We have an information-dense paragraph (looks like 50-60 words) with fairly dense information in this Lincoln Highway book from Stackpole Books, and a full two-page profile in this book published by the University of Nevada Press. Numerous more glancing but informative mentions can be found in other secondary sources, such as this 2013 Lincoln Highway article in Nevada Magazine, and this 1916 Lincoln Highway Association guidebook. An early cross-country travelogue devotes two (small) pages, about 100 words, to a description of the Tippett community and its "interesting lot of people".
    Conclusion: Even without considering the questions of legal recognition, self-published sources, or contemporary press coverage (all of which would weigh, if at all, further in the article's favor), Tippett merits an article under the GNG because it has been the subject of coverage in independent reliable sources, and that coverage is sufficiently detailed and on-topic that no original research is required to extract the content. -- Visviva (talk) 05:39, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Visviva above. We're just trying to meet WP:GEOLAND here, and notability still exists even if the settlement does not. Came across this report that mentions the post office as being a recordkeeping house. AviationFreak💬 19:23, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - probably a section of the country, not a town.
Nothing in the Online Nevada Encyclopedia. It does not have specific articles for towns but is mostly historical. The Las Vegas newspaper archives from 1909 to 1927 have nothing:[55]. (After 1927, I got 1800+ hits; I went through the first 100 and only found Tippett used as a last name.)
Visviva's first article talks about Tippett as a "district" of White Pine County, not a town. It spells it two ways: "Tippitt" or "Tippett". It says that county officials voted to merge it into the Pleasant Valley district. Article 3 about mining once again uses the word "district". These hard rock metal ore mines take up a lot of space and aren't something normally found in a town (there are a few exceptions). Article 2: old-time U.S. rural post offices are not proof a town once existed -- they could just be a low volume "distribution node" of sorts in someone's farmhouse or store.
I think Tippett was a section of a very large county, not a town.
Here's the Google Earth link for the USGS coordinates in the article. Please look at it.
I'm really trying but coming up short. I still say delete.

I think I may not have been clear as to my intention in providing those links in my self-reply: I was trying to provide a taste of the various goings on at Tippett, not to use those particular clippings as a basis for notability.
To my misfortune, I am prone to focusing on the arguments that I find most interesting, which are usually much more tendentious than the boring arguments that actually have a chance. In hopes of fixing my blunder, I have added a more formulaic policy-based rationale as a second self-reply above. In sum: my arguments about NGEO are beside the point because this (former) community passes the GNG -- and does so, ironically, thanks in part to the fact that nobody lives there anymore. Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a ghost town!
(But since I can't help myself, I'll add that I think it speaks volumes to a little-considered aspect of Wikipedia's systemic bias that we don't yet even have articles on open-country community or fourth-class post office, institutions without an understanding of which it is almost impossible to make sense of the lives of the majority of US residents in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Imagine a world in which any contact with the outside world (including newspapers) comes through the post office, which is also the only place you are likely to meet any neighbors who live beyond hollering distance. No surprise that these places became the locus of identity for the communities around them, the place people were "from", even when no commercial center developed. And no surprise that, as here, these places often became centers of political activity (as Tippett for example came to serve as a voting precinct, seat of a mining district, seat of a school funding district, and site of mass meetings). I might try to build a userspace essay on the subject since this sadly seems to come up with some frequency lately. To leave rural communities -- which are quite different from small towns -- out of our coverage would be to abandon a vast swath of documented human experience for no particular good reason, which to my mind is entirely contrary to our mission. But, again, no matter how much this argument interests me I don't think it really has any bearing on the outcome in this particular case. The GNG suffices.) -- Visviva (talk) 05:48, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A common bit of hyperbole, which makes the article more or less a list of such usage. It's not as bad as Second American Civil War was before it was redirected here, but since both suffer from defect that neither event has happened; the various usages of both jump between alarmism, overstatement, and failed aspirations, but there's no common subject. And with that, I do not think it is appropriate simply to catalogue a figure of speech. Mangoe (talk) 02:31, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: It's impossible for the concept to meet GNG because it's just a slogan with no consistent use across different contexts.

List of people who have been pied

This is an indiscriminate, crufty list of people who have been pied over the years that has gone to AfD several times, the last discussion being over a decade ago. A good deal of keep arguments then focused on the article having "reliable sources" or being "verifiable". I don't think this applies to the article in a modern context; a good deal of the sources are primary and dead, or otherwise unreliable/not counting towards notability. Most of the examples are people being pied in some video, and then the video being the source. There are a few "pieings" of notable people that have gotten attention and sustained overage over the years; these instances can be mentioned in the main Pieing article. Finally, I think there are BLP considerations here that encourage against maintaining a list of people who have had a goofy object thrown at their face.

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
That source table is horse manure. Clickbait listicles don't contribute toward notability, no matter the pedigree of the publisher. The last two sources don't even contribute to LISTN either. The Slate article talks about pieing generally (which, surprise surprise, we already have an article about), with a couple anecdotes of specific incidents, as one does when writing about a topic like this. And the bit from the book is all of one or two sentences, about one TV show that did this, and a handful of people that were on it. None of that even remotely justifies the existence of a list like this. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm feeling a bit woozy from all the banging my head against my desk after seeing all this inexplicable defense of this list. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 00:26, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The two non-listicle/slideshow sources here are great for the main article to discuss the purposes of pieing and some significant instances, but I don't think tha[t makes it encyclopedically notable to attempt to list all pieings of people with Wiki articles.

  • Keep but trim - pieing is an assault, but there are several entries which are just comedians: Lucille Ball etc. People being assaulted by pies (I think of the Rupert Murdoch incident) is notable; comedians being pied is not. So keep the page but trim out all entries related to scripted or voluntary pieing. Rick Jelliffe (talk) 14:08, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: is there a reason why this was nominated again after three keep decisions? If something has changed about the article to warrant re-nomination, we should just edit or revert the article instead of deleting it. Chamaemelum (talk) 14:30, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Please see WP:CCC. The last one – more than twelve years ago – actually had a 6–5 majority in favor of deletion. The one before that, back in 2008, also had a 12–9 majority in favor of deletion. The no consensus closes may have been appropriate, but that's no reason it can't be rediscussed now. I believe discussion of significant events is appropriate, just listing any and all is not. Rick Jelliffe says the Rupert Murdoch incident is notable – well, Pieing#United_Kingdom actually has more coverage of that incident than this list does! Reywas92Talk 19:39, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Selective merge into Pieing. I am against the wholesale deletion of this article because pieing is notable as a form of political protest. However, I understand the WP:NOT#IINFO argument may apply here (especially because of the non-political pieings listed, and I must admit I added one such entry), so I would be willing to accept merging political-related entries from this list into the main Pieing article as an alternative to outright deletion.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. I'm sorry to relist this discussion when evaluating this article seems to actually be causing distress to some editors but I don't see a consensus here yet. I realize that I'm not supposed to reflect an opinion for any specific outcome but could those advocating Keep consider the option of Merge and whether that would be acceptable? Also, while there might be some agreement to trim this list, I can not close an AFD with that outcome unless some editor is volunteering to take that job on. AFDs are a blunt instrument with a limited range of outcomes and a closer can not order to the community at large that editorial work should be done on an article.

  • delete It's just cruft. Pie happens. Mangoe (talk) 02:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the issue is the inclusion criteria, not the subject. Obviously we shouldn't be including a character on a TV show who takes a scripted pie in the face, but that's an editing issue. The subject meets WP:NLIST. There are tons of articles which treat victims of pieing as a group. In addition to the above, CNN, Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Buzzfeed, Time, Business Insider, Daily Beast... just google any two or three of the prominent names and "pieing" and you'll find a whole lot more. It's odd to see arguments that in-depth coverage of pieing that happens to include a list contributes to the notability of the main topic but not the list, while at the same time articles that are only lists of people who have been pied don't count because they're just lists. Easily passes NLIST. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I removed a bunch of the junk (a guest on a nighttime talk show getting pied in a skit, someone literally pieing herself for a gag, people taking various "challenges" to take a pie, etc.). That cut it down by roughly half. Importantly, it's still too long to simply include in the main pieing article. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 01:58, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the excellent analysis done by siroxo and cleanup work by Rhododendrites. Appears well within LISTN. I hate to cite my least favorite Wikipedia essay, but the arguments for deletion are some of the clearest cases of WP:IDONTLIKEIT that I've seen in some time. -- Visviva (talk) 01:49, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the sources are grasping-at-stawsy. It’s the same celebrities getting splutted over and over, and that’s not including the questions of protest assault vs. comedy throwing, or the fact that some of these are clearly fluff pieces and listicles from places like Buzzfeed. The most notable incidents (like Murdoch and Gates) can be coveted in prose format; one pie assault is not a defining characteristic unless covered in depth by multiple reliable sources. Dronebogus (talk) 01:00, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:GNG (on which WP:LISTN is based) says significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I believe this article, a collation of trivial, insignificant incidents, fits into what Wikipedia is not. Any significant incidents should be (and likely are) covered in their respective BLPs and/or in Pieing. (I first saw this article after the above-mentioned clean-up, and if kept, it still needs a lot more pruning. There's one entry sourced solely to a photograph.) Schazjmd (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think that the sources found above discuss the group enough to satisfy WP:LISTN. Trimming out the scripted and/or challenges landed it even more firmly in the "keep" category. Joyous! Noise! 18:55, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Her Bloomberg Billionaires Index entry provides reasonably substantial coverage from a strong RS. Combined with the sources in the article this seems to meet the GNG. At the risk of stating the obvious, WP:NOTINHERITED does not stand for the proposition that heirs cannot be notable as such. As to the suggested merge, merging biographies tends to be suboptimal as it mucks up things like categories. As we have enough here for a modest article, I don't think a merge is warranted.

As was discussed at the 2018 RFC on lists of airline destinations and quoted in recent related AFDs like this one, the general consensus is that they are not encylopedic content for Wikipedia. To follow up as per subsequent AN discussion, it was discussed that subsequent AFDs may be nominated in a orderly fashion provided the link to the RFC is included and the closer takes the RFD discussion into consideration.

The airline lists specifically nominated for this AFD are largely defunct and are no longer operating services. On their own, the lists fail WP:NOT#DIRECTORY and would largely fail WP:CORP. Some of the airline destination lists for nominated carriers such as Balkan Bulgarian Airlines and Air Vietnam were at one point Government-owned airlines, but would still fail WP:CORP based on the No Inherited Notability guideline. One other nominated airline destination list (List of Continental Express destinations) was part of a defunct mainline carrier (Continental Airlines) where some information could be merged into a few sentences in the article of the (now defunct) mainline carrier.

Per a brief WP:BEFORE check, most of the limited sources in the nominated articles are either from WayBack.org archives of the defunct airlines' websites, Airline blogs such as RoutesOnline or Airliners.net where users are allowed to put in their contributions, or mirror websites of Wikipedia. For the most part, the articles also largely fail WP:V or WP:INDEPENDENT.

As per the past few AFDs, unless if there are any sources that may rescue the articles, I will nominate them for deletion as the nominator. Coastie43 (talk) 00:20, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
