  • Delete. Unrecognized micronations are not handed an automatic inclusion freebie on Wikipedia just because their own website technically verifies that they exist in somebody's mind — they can clear the bar if they get reliable source coverage in real media, but not if their sourceability is limited to their own self-published content about themselves. This article is also, incidentally, a complete and total copy-paste of the website itself, apart from the first person being changed to the third in a couple of spots — so there's also a copyright violation issue here.

No significant coverage in reliable sources, does not meet WP:GNG. There's a fair amount of trivial coverage in connection with a radio show Story Story Night on NPR. The article claims that Eichelberger played a notable role in the original cast of Avenue Q, but the provided source lists them as an ensemble member and understudy. The only other role that Eichelberger has held that could be described as notable is Stingy on LazyTown, which means that they come up short of WP:NACTOR. Eichelberger has won an award for excellence in puppeteering, but as the sources that support this are both paywalled I'm unable to assess whether that's enough to meet WP:ANYBIO. signed, Rosguill talk 21:42, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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

Fails WP policies on all fronts.

  1. Fails WP:LISTCRITERIA due to lack of precise selection criteria. There is no clear definition of its subject - does "web hosting" in the title include blogs? forums? files? photos? Or was the intention to include only website builders that offer a free tier? What about webhosts that offer free landing page or even basic website builder on domain purchase, like Namecheap, OVH, etc.?
  2. Fails WP:NOTADIRECTORY.
  3. Looks like WP:PROMO, especially the "comparison" of the "price of connecting owned domain".
  4. Unsourced, even though a tag has been in place since 2014.
  5. Has historically been a spambait.

I see no purpose why this list should appear on Wikipedia, at least in its current form. — kashmīrī TALK 19:27, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep - too soon after last discussion for a new one, and nominator doesn't indicate anything to explain why it needs to be reevaluated again so soon(or at all) WikiVirusC(talk) 19:12, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep beyond the procedural reasons listed above, the subject is entirely notable. WP:BEFORE would have shown that and prevented this AFD. I did a short search myself and was able to add three new references (Artsy, Deutche Welle, Jerusalem Post) about her new project colouring archival images of Auschwitz prisoners. She is doing unique and interesting work, and getting lots and lots of RS coverage for it. Which is to say: the coverage clearly exists to establish GNG, so we need not ever do an AFD for her again.

My apologies in respect of the 2nd nomination process. This is the first time I've attempted an AfD where it turned out it was not a first and the process was new to me. As soon as the 2nd status return appeared, I was inclined to reverse out of it but could not find the way of achieving that, so I figured it had to stay. Nevertheless, I started the process convinced the subject could not possibly meet notability as only one published work was referenced in which the subject played only a minor role and there was no source suggesting the subject had any particular prominence in the field. It is all the more surprising that the article survived AfD the first time round and remained in this poor condition. There has been such improvement now, so I'm content that policy is now met and have no objection to its remaining. The encyclopaedia stands the beneficiary. sirlanz 02:45, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Being an unsuccessful election candidate is not an WP:NPOL pass, but this article makes no credible claim of preexisting notability for other reasons and offers no properly sourced evidence that his candidacy was a special notability case of significantly greater notability than most other candidacies. It's referenced 70 per cent to primary sources (genealogies and raw tables of election results); 20 per cent to dead links where the complete citation details were never properly provided, so we can't even retrieve them to see what they ever actually did or didn't say; and one short blurb about the plane crash he died in.

As for the notability of people involved in the project, I would point to WP:INHERITWEB, which states that web content is not considered notable simply because of notable people associated with it.

Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NPOLITICIAN. The subject's highest political post was vice-president of of Bolívar Canton, Carchi, a local government position in Ecuador. The lone source attached to the article just mentions that a bust was erected in his honor in his hometown of Calceta, I was unable to find anything more significant, although given that he died in the 1970s, any likely sources are probably going to be print copies of Ecuadorian local newspapers, which I do not have access to. The article also appears to have been written by a relative of Félix's, given that they uploaded an old photo of the subject and claimed it as their own work.signed, Rosguill talk 18:29, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The canton is a local level of Ecuadorian government, not a provincial/state level, so there's no automatic WP:NPOL pass for its vice-presidents just for existing as local officeholders — and notability is not inherited, so he's not automatically special just because a couple of his children went on to hold more NPOL-passing roles. But neither is this article referenced well enough to get him over the hump he actually has to clear — "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". We do not keep poorly sourced articles about people who don't clear any SNG just because it's possible that better sources might exist in places that almost nobody who's actually active on Wikipedia has the ability to check — the onus for showing that he actually has enough coverage to clear the notability bar for local figures is ultimately on the creator of the article and not on everybody else. And no, the Spanish article (which was created by the same editor a few months ago) isn't referenced any better, either, and should probably be listed for deletion there as well if anybody with better Spanish language skills than I've got is willing to tackle it.

The reason I'm nominating this for deletion, a complete purge, rather than leaving it to wallow as an isolated digital fragment forevermore, is because of how far off the track this will become. It was part of a blast by a COI for their company. We're left with multiple pages that need addressing, non-notable orphans from an inactive (as per social media), non-existent (dissolved in 2017) never notable (as per GNG) failed commercial venture. This would become a redirect to a redirect to a redirect to a redirect because of their activity and their creation of too many articles - from one for their main company which is not notable and being deleted or redirected (open AfD currently), their american subsidiary and then this product. It's a long tail of non-notable promotional guff, and redirects are as cheap as they are costly.

As for the actual product, if it is easily demonstrable that the ultimate parent company is not notable and just the product of an over-zealous promotor with a distinct SPA/COI. My proposition is rather than redirect this to the company which is redirected to the parent company which is redirected to the generic article of the company's base product, to delete it completely. It only exists because of a non-user's abuse of the open policy for their own commercial gains. A vote for redirect pretty much just supports the notion that we must preserve its existence perpetually because once a non-wikipedian with a commercial motive decided to create an article on this product.

Still WP:TOOSOON, subject has had one major recurring role in television so far, in addition to several bit roles, falling short of WP:NACTOR. All coverage available in RS is routine casting announcements that do not provide sufficient coverage of the subject to meet WP:GNG. Their casting for future recurring roles indicates that they will likely meet notability guidelines in the future, but per WP:CRYSTAL that means we should wait until those roles have actually occurred and been shown to be significant. signed, Rosguill talk 18:04, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I had been asked to review this article by an editor who I had previously interacted with. My review at that time suggested it was not notable for exactly the reasons Rosguill said as he fails both NACTOR and GNG. I also do not see any sort of redirect target as a reoccurring role does not seem like a strong enough target article. I left the article for another reviewer to make their own judgement because I didn't feel it was fair to nominate for deletion something someone had asked me in good faith to review.

We could redirect to Heathers (TV series), as that is their most notable role that has already occurred. signed, Rosguill talk 18:38, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Some reoccurring roles are that way for contractual reasons and they might appear in 90% of episodes. Other such roles might be in 1 or 2 a season. I don't know how much his reoccurring role was for Heathers or will be for You, but in general I think we shouldn't be redirecting for such roles.

The house being preserved as a landmark is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts the house's occupant from still having to actually clear GNG as a person. The house already has its own article anyway. Bearcat (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It seems that the house only exists in the redirect for Campbell House and on National Register of Historic_Places listings in Concordia Parish, Louisiana; in 2016 it was taken off of the national register on account of it being burnt down so I can't imagine it becoming any more notable in future.

Writing this into the personal life section could help establish some notability in conjunction with the nominations, but the Wikipedia article in question seems to take verbatim from the author's personal website without citing it. I did also find an article on University of Washington Department of Pathology's newsletter[7] that collaborated the claim that her story was read by Jorja Fox, but this doesn't seem to establish any major notability on it's own.

  • Delete. Being a perennially-losing perennial candidate for political office is not an WP:NPOL pass, but this article is referenced nowhere near well enough to make him special — it's referenced almost entirely to primary sources and glancing namechecks of Esrati's existence in media coverage of other things or people, not to coverage that's about him in any non-trivial way. To be fair, the original creator in 2008 is the likely autobio candidate — but their work got deleted at AFD within two weeks, and the article was then recreated in 2010 by an editor who was far less likely to be Esrati (they stuck around for another couple of years and edited on other topics unconnected to Dayton municipal politics.) So the 2008 AFD wouldn't be grounds for speedying this by any means, but this definitely isn't a significant notability or sourcing improvement over the original version either.

The result was keep. I'm closing this as a keep due to the fact that when you separate the !votes, we have 3 editors who believe the article should be kept and provide (evidence based) policy reasoning behind that. There's one editor who !votes delete but doesn't leave a policy based reason behind it and never replied to the follow up questions from other editors wishing to engage in discussion. The remaining editor who !voted delete was countered by the three editors with strong policy based arguments that effectively cancelled out their reasoning behind the delete. Had the other delete !vote editor have used policy based reasoning this would have gone towards a no consensus, however, that's not the case tonight. I believe enough discussion has taken place here and we've asked enough of the community's time in discussing this.

  • Keep There's a ton of coverage on him. Much of it is recent. For instance, allafrica.com quoted on the 10th: We know that the name Herbert Bockhorn was widely keyed into a Google search box after a 31-strong Cranes provisional squad was revealed this past week. Too soon for NFOOTY, but an easy WP:GNG pass. SportingFlyer T·C 00:15, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kawowo is one of the most important Ugandan football sources, PML Daily have profiled him, Swift Sports wrote an article just because he wasn't going to appear in the Tanzania game, [16], and the BBC mentioned his call-up specifically in an article (that was routine and not WP:SIGCOV, but shows importance.) None of this is routine coverage - it's all on him specifically. SportingFlyer T·C 00:42, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep – 10 sources were posted here through 20 March, and since then BZ 22 March, 90min 22 March, Liga-Zwei 23 March. I'm not sure but I'm guessing the ICC games with the first team v. Liverpool, Man City and Benfica don't count for NFOOTY (SW), and although none of the sources individually is terribly in-depth, there are many examples of stories that really are focused on him (not the team), go beyond sheer routine coverage, and come from a variety of media sources in Germany and Uganda. For me, gets over the line as a GNG keep. Levivich 06:19, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Post-relist comment – Searched again and found more new coverage of this player, albeit not quite SIGCOV. I don't think this Mar 22 Sports.de article has been posted here yet. I wouldn't call it "significant coverage" because it's not very long, but it does focus on Bockhorn and has a picture of him as the lead picture. According to this article from yesterday, Bockhorn has been named to the Uganda national team for this summer's Africa Cup of Nations, and I'm somewhat impressed that he's one of two players on the team that's mentioned in this article. He hasn't played in the game yet, but if he does, that would be one NFOOTY-qualifying game. A borderline case, but I still lean weak keep, or at least draftify.

Article about semi-pro footballer who was under contract at a club (Dolphins F.C.) in the fully-pro Nigerian Premier League, but there is no evidence that he actually played for the senior side in the league. A search of online sources indicates that Sesay only received routine coverage (e.g., match reports) in Sierra Leone-based sources and essentially zero coverage in Nigerian sources, so the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG.

  • Comment - As an inclusionist, it is quite sad and disheartening when I see very old articles being put for AfD after all these years. This article was nominated for speedy deletion twice back in 2010. Once by @Wrwr1: (speedy rejected by @DGG:) and by @Alexf: (speedy rejected by @Phil Bridger:). So I am surprised why wasn't it taken to AfD at the time?Tamsier (talk) 16:48, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tamsier: - back in 2010 there was a chance he's see playing time in Dolphins F.C. and develop a career - it was in TOOSOON zone - but soon was possibly right around the corner (WP:RAPID mayhap?). We're now in 2019 - this hasn't happened, and there is no prospect of this happening. Icewhiz (talk) 16:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I took the article to AfD because I don't think a PROD would be appropriate. Here editors have the time to check my research on sourcing, and perhaps I've missed some useful coverage that would meet the GNG. If not, this article has been in a sorry state for far too long. Jogurney (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Icewhiz:, but had it been brought to AfD at the time, its faith would have been decided by the community since we do not generally accept stand-alone articles which are in the WP:TOOSOON zone. We do not know (unless someone comes forward and disclose it here) whether an editor at the time saw WP:RS on/off-line but didn't bother to add them to the article and now such sources are taken off-line. I don;t know. Nobody knows. And it is not far fetched because I have witness for a number of years editors arguing for an article to be kept at AfD - providing great reliable sources in the discussion but without adding them to the article itself. I bet I'm not the only one who have seen that happen during AfD discussions. We now have no archive of sources which might have been available at the time but now nobody knows. If the community/editors at the time thought he was notable for a stand-alone, then he is still notable as notability is not temporary. However, that is merely conjecture because at the moment, nobody knows. Just because sources aren't available online does not mean a subject is not notable. They might be available off-line or might have been available online but were taken off. Also, for Africa, Google sometimes does not scan or takes time to provide African related sources. As such, we should be extremely careful when talking about lack of online sources for African related articles. All I know based on our articles and my limited knowledge of football is that, he played in a premier league club at the time. I would therfefore be following this discussion and looking forward to reading the arguments of the editors who were involved with this article all those years ago.Tamsier (talk) 17:57, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Actually, that league is not fully-professional (see, WP:FPL). Potentially he has played in the Nigerian Professional Football League which is fully-pro, but it cannot be verified using reliable sources. Jogurney (talk) 17:01, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I said below regarding WP:FPL, "that link is an essay, not a policy. The 1 ref cited for Sierra Leone looks like a WP:SYNTH to me. Michael was talking about "the poor structure of "some" Premier League Clubs". I've read that article archived from last year, and there is nothing in that article authored by Awoko where Michael said that "Sierra Leone National Premier League is not a professional league" in the sense we understand professional for Wikipedia policies relating to football notability, unless of course I've missed it." Quote modified to avoid repeating myself.Tamsier (talk) 02:20, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – Sierra Leone National Premier League is not a WP:FPL league, and no reliable sources attest to his playing in the Nigerian Football League (indeed, no sources at all that I can find, other than the one archived page from the now-defunct NigeraSportsWorld.com). I cannot find any non-routine coverage of the 27-year-old footballer, although I learned there are a lot of people named Mustapha Sesay. Doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY or WP:GNG. Levivich 20:08, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Really! Sorry, I'm contused, but who says "Sierra Leone National Premier League is not a WP:FPL league"? That link by the way is an essay, not a policy. The 1 ref cited for Sierra Leone looks like a WP:SYNTH to me. Michael was talking about "the poor structure of "some" Premier League Clubs". I've read that article archived from last year, and there is nothing in that article authored by Awoko where Michael said that "Sierra Leone National Premier League is not a professional league" in the sense we understand professional for Wikipedia policies relating to football notability, unless of course I've missed it.Tamsier (talk) 23:05, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The way I analyze it is: WP:NFOOTY says "2. Players who have played ... in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues, will generally be regarded as notable. See a list of fully professional leagues kept by WikiProject Football." with a link to WP:FPL (which stands for "Fully Professional League"). FPL says that SLNPL is not an FPL, with a link to a source, the Awoko article. [17] The source says, "...60% of the players don’t even have any professional contract with their clubs..." which suggests it is not a fully professional league, and thus playing in it doesn't meet NFOOTY. Now, I don't know if SLNPL is or is not a fully-professional league, and I don't think playing in a fully-professional league makes one notable anyway, so a much, much more important question for me is, as very well put in WP:42 and more formally in WP:GNG, can we write an article about Mustapha Sesay? and the answer is No because we have no sources from which to say anything other than to give his stats, which a reader can get from Soccerway. Levivich 23:24, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Does this footballer also go by the name of Yamusa Sesay (midfielder for East End Lions F.C.)? BBC Sports, National Football Teams, Afryka, FootballDatabase.Tamsier (talk) 21:02, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm pretty sure Mustapha Sesay's name was reported as "Musa Sesay" in Sierra Leone. I'm less convinced that his name was also reported as "Yamusa Sesay." I found an article about an East End Lions' footballer named Abu Bakarr Sesay who died in 2014, who had one dozen brothers, including a "Mustapha Sesay." My best guess is Yamusa is not the same person as Mustapha/Musa, but even if he were, there is no significant coverage of Mustapha/Musa/Yamusa. It appears Yamusa did make a single substitute's appearance for Sierra Leone in January 2012 (friendly against Angola), but we don't have any vital information (such as date or birth) to confirm that he is Mustapha - moreover, a single substitute's appearance in an international friendly isn't enough to satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL without some significant coverage. Jogurney (talk) 21:52, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm! I probably disagree. I think it is the same person. The name, position, club, and years (especially some of the sources as shown in his own article, above and below) indicates that it is probably the same person who has different names but in the end decided to stick with Yamusa. His real name by the way is Mustapha, which is shorten to Musa which is very common in West Africa especially those with Muslim names. For example in the Senegambia region where there are loads of Sierra Leoneans who immigrated there (especially Gambia where Sierra Leoneans have immigrated to for over a 100 years), the Muslim/Arabic name Ibrahima is localised to Ebrima; Ibra; Ebou; and Ibrima. The name "Mustapha" is the same as Musa; and Moss. His surname "Sesay" which is the same as Sissay, Ceesay, and Ciss, tells me he comes from the Sessay clan which is a Mandinka surname. "Ya" is just a prefix for which the Mandinka and Mandé group are known for. Putting all that aside, I think in the early stages of his career he probably went by all those names but in the end decided to stick with Yamusa for what ever reason. The article tells us that he joint East End Lions in 2011. if you do a combined search for "Yamusa Sesay [or just Yamusa], "East End Lions", and any year prior to 2011, you will not find anything that matches the combined search. However, you will find Yamusa Sesay starting his career with East End Lions in 2011 as confirmed by this source. The chances of 2 different players with almost the same name, playing for the same club, playing on the same position (midfielder) and joining the club in the same year is practically nil. I admit, I'm not a mathematician so I will leave that to the mathematicians to give us the probability of that happening. WP:COMMONSENSE however tells me that the chances are minute. According to this 2010 source Mustapha Sesay was playing midfield for Dolphins FC as stated in our article. According to this BBC source, in May 2011, Yamusa Sesay from East End Lions (playing midfield) joint the Sierra Leonean team in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations. That same year (2011), this source (month not given) uses Musa Sesay for the 2011 Sierra Leone Premier League. I even tried to do a check on there 2009/10 database for anyone by the name of Musa/Mustapaha Sesay or Yamusa Sesay, but there was none, only someone called Musa Fofanah which is definitely not our subject, but a different person. Currently, we have this Football Database telling us that Yamusa Sesay has been a member of East End Lions from 2011 (the same year our article told us he joint the club) to 2019, and was in the Sierra Leone team v Angola in 2012 in which Angola beat Sierra Leone 3 - 1. By 2013, we still have him using Musa Sesay according to this Sierra Leonean archived source when playing at home. I might be totally wrong, but this tells me in the early stages of his career he was probably known by all three names (Mustapha, Musa and Yamusa). It also tells me that, when he was playing home, he used all three names or was referred to by all 3 especially the first two. However when playing international or a foreign team, he adopted Yamusa or was called Yamusa - which he continued to use to the present as he got older and more mature. If you do a normal combined Google search for Yamusa Sesay, 2019, and East End Lions, you will at least find something that is recent. However if you substitute Yamusa for Musa/Mustapha, you will not find anything that is recent, only old stuff. In any case, I wish this article and the community luck as they decide its faith.Tamsier (talk) 02:08, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What really matters here is WP:SIGCOV. I'm willing to accept sources with Yamusa (or heck - any footballer with a similar name and bio details to the one in our article) - but what I want to see is 3-4 in-depth, independent, reliable, sources. The ones you provided with Yamusa are name drops in a list - which doesn't help us with SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 10:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete he definitely exists, but I can't find anything on internet media to verify much other than he played at least once for a team in a non-fully professional league.

  • Delete. Zachary LA is not large enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on its mayors just for existing as mayors, but the article is not referenced anywhere close to well enough to get him over the bar that he actually has to clear: "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". And no, being the first member of one particular party to win the mayoralty is not a free pass to being special, either — regardless of whether a mayor is a Democrat or a Republican or a member of some minor political party, he still has to show much more press coverage about him than this shows. As always, Billy Hathorn, the existence of an obituary in the local newspaper upon a person's death is not an instant notability pass that guarantees the person an article in and of itself and exempts all of the rest of the sources from actually having to be reliable or substantive — but apart from the obituary, this is otherwise referenced entirely to raw tables of election results and genealogy documents and non-source clarifying notes and glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things or people, not to substantive coverage about him. This is, as usual, not how you reference a smalltown mayor as notable enough for Wikipedia. Bearcat (talk) 15:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mentions of these turn up in searches on her name, but no SIGCOV on any of them. It may be that she could support an article - although to me, sourcing for a BLP looks scant.

  • Comment: Being an IP, I assume I can't vote, but I hope I can comment. I am from Sweden, so please excuse any spelling mistakes I may make. The Kjellbergska flickskolan is counted as one of the "First Five" pioneer secondary educational schools for women in Sweden, and Helena Eldrup was essentially given the task to be its founder and organiser, beside being its first principal. Being an individual from the history of a small country, it is perhaps not strange if she is not yet mentioned in international sources, even if she was an important person from that country's history (and even in Sweden, the history of women's education has not been given much coverage until very recently, despite its importance); but Wikipedia does allow foreign language references, as far as I understand, and without them, it would be hard to expand international knowledge about subject that are notable, but not yet covered in English language reference books.--92.35.227.48 (talk) 11:32, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment -- I was leaning towards delete, but will not oppose the emerging consensus. I can see that as a pioneer of women's education and founding principal of a school, there is an argument that she is notable. I would be reluctant to encourage bios of head teachers to be allowed as a matter of course. There is no objection to foreign language references, though English ones are of course preferable, if available. I would give considerable weight to the view of the IP, even though it is not formally a vote. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:07, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a great resume but not one that really asserts notability. He had a successful family business, but not a notable one, and the only source of substance in this WP:REFBOMB is a family-written obituary. Reywas92Talk 06:34, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable for the purposes of guaranteeing his inclusion in Wikipedia, but the referencing is not getting him over WP:GNG at all — in classic Billy Hathorn fashion, it stakes his notability entirely on the existence of a paid-inclusion legacy.com obituary (which is not a notability criterion, because everybody always gets one of those if their own family or friends place it) and then references everything else to primary sources, glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, and purely tangential verification of stray facts about his family that have nothing to do with whether he's notable enough for inclusion or not. The existence of a book about him and his company might seem like a start toward making him notable enough for inclusion, but (a) it's being cited only to metaverify its own existence rather than actually being used to support any of the content about Martin, and (b) Claitor's is a local publishing house that just publishes the book-form editions of government documents and local family genealogies, not a publisher of conventional fiction or non-fiction books — even the book's own Amazon sales profile plainly reveals that it's a Martin family genealogy, not a notability-making book about him. Bearcat (talk) 17:04, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Not notable person. Notability is not inherited from the legacy of the father so this is an invalid bio especially since Wikipedia is not a vehicle for genealogy.

BLP for radio personality and station director. Doesn't seem to have any secondary sources about him that I can find, so doesn't look like he passes WP:BASIC for notability. The few secondary sources that do exist that mention him are about the station Wandsworth Radio, so the station seems notable but I don't think he himself is.

This model is not notable at all. There’s nothing to show for her career—and no reliable sources at all (“Fashion Encyclopedia” is literally one big copyright violation). There’s really only a regional thing from 15min but that’s not enough for an article to stand on. An article cannot rely on one source. I put a notability tag but the author removed it...

First of all, how is she not notable? She is a working model, constantly shooting for different ads and magazines and doing runway shows. She is still active and has more followers than some of the models you Trillfendi have written articles for! If you were even remotely interested in the fashion industry you would know that. I'm sure her followers would be interested to read about her on wikipedia. And stating that there's only one source, when there's five different sources, is clearly a lie. But I guess IMG Models is not reliable, right? Bianca1703 (talk) 15:28, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bianca1703: Get this... someone’s number of “followers” on social media is irrelevant to a Wikipedia article. Being a working model doesn’t equal being a notable model if there’s no way to independently verify said work. And if you really want to make this about IMG, I’m looking at the board right now and counted at least 101 models on the Main Board who are not notable enough right now by general notability standards to have a Wikipedia page. Being signed to IMG Models is not automatic notability. That’s not how this works. And with regard to these “sources”, it’s absolute RIDICULOUS to think “hautespotter”, “fashionencyclopedia”, and “AESTHETICCULT” are anywhere near the realm of reliable sources on this website. And IMG is a primary source so it doesn’t even count. Now since you’re trying to make this me and my interests—why would I have created 65 fashion model articles so far, help create 10, and have 74 model articles currently in the draft space if I wasn’t “even remotely interested in the fashion industry.” Blatantly, by now, I know what I’m doing on this subject. People are welcome to disagree with me on any AfD, yet I know enough to have created multiple model articles from scratch in just one day. This is not WP:ILIKEIT or WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Trillfendi (talk) 16:23, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Trillfendi: It's 2019, of course followers matter. They are people who will actively search for more information on someone and would want to read an article on wikipedia. So you're trying to say that journalists who independently did their research and interviews and wrote articles aren't credible? They are not good enough for wikipedia, right? Get off your high horse! It's getting ridiculous.
To many people, like me, Oksana is better known than many of the models you created articles on. Just accept that different people are interested in reading articles about different models. Just because YOU are not interested in her and YOU didn't write the article, doesn't mean that no one else is. I don't go around marking your articles for deletion, because I know that someone out there might be interested in one of them. But also, I have better things to do with my time.
@Bianca1703: First of all, sign your comments. Secondly, read: followers don’t matter—to a Wikipedia page. Thirdly, “hautespotter”, “fashionencyclopedia”, and “AESTHETICCULT” don’t use “journalists”, get real. Articles require reliable sources, not blogs. Read the policy. It doesn’t matter how well known the subject is to you, it matters what can be verified. I’ve created pages for Model of the Year winners and unknowns; the difference is they have magazines like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle as sources. This is not about my opinion of the subject because frankly I couldn’t care less. This is about the fact that the subject doesn’t meet Wikiepdia’s notability standards. Had you actually sent this through the AfC process, a reviewer would have declined it. I didn’t propose deletion out of spite, so stop being so sensitive and look at this for what it is. If you actually had a reason to propose deletion on one of my articles then nothing would stop that from going forth. None of this is personal. Trillfendi (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Meets WP:NMODEL #1 "Has had significant roles in multiple notable ... other productions". I have added sources verifying that she has modelled for many notable brands.

Once again, a slideshow of 3 images and a smattering of street style photos (i.e. ≠off duty) does not do anything to indicate notability. Walking your dog while wearing Alexander Wang, etc. is not modeling for them, that’s off-duty. That’s not how any of this works. Trillfendi (talk) 21:24, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly if I walked a dog while wearing Alexander Wang, I would not be modelling for them. But when a professional model wears it, is photographed by a professional fashion photographer, and the photos are published in a leading fashion magazine, I would certainly call it modelling. I also disagree with the editor above, who said that she didn't appear in Vogue Japan, the clothes did. Funny how the clothes always appear on professional models, not just anybody (or nobody, just the clothes) - and that the models appear again and again .... RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:12, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That’s. Not. Modeling. It’s called being off duty. Meaning they’re off the clock. Not working. Not getting paid to wear clothes. Wearing their own clothes on their personal time. Trillfendi (talk) 15:30, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Effectively an unsourced BLP. Subject fails WP:NACADEMIC for mathematical contributions (no more than a two dozen or so citations on any of his 24 papers), WP:GNG, and his editorship work in comics seems to fail WP:AUTHOR. — MarkH21 (talk) 05:47, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to say a word or two in defense of the article about my work. The criteria in WP:NACADEMIC sets the bar quite high, and reads more like the criteria for, say, Encyclopedia Britannica than for Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a reputation for accuracy equal to that of the Britannica, but Wikipedia is clearly more inclusive, since the English Wikipedia alone contains more than one hundred times as many articles as the last print Britannica and more than forty times as many articles as the current on-line Britannica. If the WP:NACADEMIC standards were applied generally, I suspect a very large number of Wikipedia articles would be deleted. In mathematics, my 24 publications, some with two dozen citations, is not an inconsiderable number. In particular, I am one of the leading researchers in the area of knots on the double torus.
My claim for notability in my other area of interest, comic strips, is even stronger. I am one of the world's leading experts on newspaper comic strips, have written extensively on the subject, and have published approximately four hundred magazines reprinting classic comic strips, as well as editing books for other publishers.
I agree that as a writer of fiction my work (so far) is minor, and is only included along with other biographical information. Rick Norwood (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All Wikipedia articles are judged on the criteria of notability which have been established by consensus. This includes WP:GNG, WP:NACADEMIC, and WP:AUTHOR. If there are reliable sources that demonstrating that the subject of any article passes some criteria, then the article is usually adjudged to have sufficient notability to merit an article. As it stands now, there is no such evidence for the subject of this article for work in mathematics (by WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:NACADEMIC) nor work in comics (by WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:AUTHOR).
Note that of the 24 papers: none are indexed on Web of Knowledge nor Scopus (typically used citation metrics); 9 are indexed on MathSciNet (one with 8 citations, two with 6 citations, and three with 1 citation); and several are on Google Scholar (one with 23 citations, one with 15 citations, one with 5 citations, and the rest with 3 or fewer citations). I don't think that this typically qualifies as highly cited nor significant per WP:NACADEMIC. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:20, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and merge content of Manuscript Press into this article. The subject's unusual combination of scholarship in mathematics and in the subset of the popular culture field which is comics history (where he is regarded as a prominent figure) makes him more notable than usual. (Full disclosure: I am casually acquainted with subject through science fiction fandom.) This is an example of the situation where an article is tagged for deletion, when what it needs is improved citations. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:08, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • But there's no evidence that his scholarship in mathematics meets WP:NACADEMIC, that his publishing work meets WP:AUTHOR, or that either meet WP:GNG. There needs to be evidence that he really is regarded as a prominent figure from multiple independent reliable secondary sources; I see zero such evidence presented here and I have not seen any such evidence elsewhere. — MarkH21 (talk) 00:20, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • "There needs to be evidence that he really is regarded as a prominent figure from multiple independent reliable secondary sources; I see zero such evidence presented here..." I've added several independent reliable secondary sources, including two books and two magazines. I'll try to add more. I should have worked harder to save reviews of my work. But if I were not regarded as a prominent figure in the field of comic strips, would I have been hired by the top publishers in that field to edit books (Fantagraphics) and to write introductions for books (Titan Books)? Would my regular columns have been published in The Comics Buyer's Guide and in The Menomonee Falls Gazette? This may not be sufficient evidence to convince MarkH21, but it is certainly not "zero" evidence. Rick Norwood (talk) 13:05, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • The point is that WP:GNG stipulates that there needs to be significant coverage of the subject (so Rick Norwood, not Manuscript Press or Comics Revue) from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This is what it literally says. Examples that would be included are newspaper articles (from a publisher you have not worked with) with a significant portion about you from a major news outlet, documentaries with a significant portion about you, etc. This would not include you having written columns for a newspaper, you having been hired by a publisher, or you having written an introduction for a book. That type of recognition would be something along the lines of point 7 of WP:NACADEMIC or point 3 of WP:NAUTHOR but there isn't a strong case for either of those here. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:50, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • NOTE: subject has mentioned this AfD on his Facebook page, and some of his friends have spread the word. While Norwood himself is being straightforward and adult about it, some of his friends have resorted to vile and vituperative abuse of WP, suggestions of ways to "fool" us (all very childlike and sure to fail), etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:23, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I asked for help in the form of citations of reliable sources which have reviewed or commented on my work. I appreciate MarkH21 informingd me that this is against Wikipedia policy. I've been editing Wikipedia for 14 years, and had not come across this rule before, but I apologize for breaking it, and will heed your advice in the future. Rick Norwood (talk) 01:35, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean toward Keep, and merge Manuscript Press. My google-fu is not the best, but I believe there is some evidence that he is the expert in certain aspects of comic history. How reliable that evidence is is a more complicated question. (As an aside, the article on me was kept because of WP:GNG, not any of the specialized notability guidelines.) — Arthur Rubin (talk) 04:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seems to meet the criteria for notability. A somewhat odd one, since he has a claim for notability in multiple areas areas, and it's not clear how an accumulation of notability in many small areas adds up, but I'd think that the minimum standards are met. Keep.Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 14:43, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • An "accumulation of notability" is not treated differently by the notability guidelines. For instance, if there is significant coverage of the subject (Rick Norwood, not Manuscript Press or Comics Revue) from one independent reliable source based on his work in mathematics, and one based on his work in publishing, then they would collectively satisfy WP:GNG. These guidelines still should be met though and none of them have been demonstrated to have been met yet. — MarkH21 (talk) 04:50, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- As a former journalist in the field of comic books, with 26 years experience in the business, i once had the job of reviewing every book Rick Norwood published. His reprint projects were both very popular and well known for their extremely high restoration quality. I believe that Rick Norwood's contributions to the historical preservation of the graphic art form influenced many others who came after him, and i think that his Manuscript Press was a model for how to keep old newsprint comics before the public.

  • Delete or WP:TNT I do not appreciate that nearly all of the article was self-written by Norwood (Wikipedia:Autobiography, WP:COI). If he's notable, it should not be written by the subject himself. He has a very nice resume as an editor and other roles, but none of the sources are independent, reliable, and substantive to verify notability and assert that his publications stand out from run-of-the-mill film/TV reviewing or specialized columns. Being quoted in another book neither contributes to notability nor does it need to be mentioned here. Now if other editors, preferably those who were not canvassed by the writer/subject and have a connection to him can show he passes WP:GNG, that's terrific but this should be deleted and allowed to be started over. Reywas92Talk 07:01, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I was going to suggest merging his article into Manuscript Press, but since that went the other way already, I'm good with keeping it as a sub of his article.

I have taught comics-related courses at four universities; consulted for the US Postal Service when they issued 20 stamps on Classic Comics; and have spoken overseas on comics for the US Information Service of the Department of State. HOWEVER I really don't want to talk about myself, except as it might give credence to my comments on Rick Norwood vis a vis Wikipedia. He has been involved in comics scholarship for decades; is universally respected; and he continues to be reliable resource for fans, students, and academics. I never have had a question about his thoroughness or his integrity. 2601:404:0:657D:3DDD:3B3D:9531:CB98 (talk) 22:44, 6 April 2019 (UTC) 2601:404:0:657D:3DDD:3B3D:9531:CB98 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • I've held back from any comments for more than a week, after someone extended the deadline for a week. And now, while during that week there were two recommendations to keep, at the last minute and within seven minutes of each other, two recommendations to delete. I have to ask, do you know anything at all about comic strips? Rick Norwood (talk) 19:17, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not 7 minutes apart, but 7 hours apart. It's also not unusual, as AfDs typically see increased activity before the deadline due to sortable lists and recent changes monitoring. It's much less suspicious than multiple keep votes from IPs and editors who have never previously voted on an AfD appearing after a Facebook post from the subject of the article. — MarkH21 (talk) 19:59, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Rick, I don't know much about comic books, but I'm willing to believe that you're well-known among aficionados and that most or all of what's been said in the "Keep" arguments is true. However, I don't see sources that demonstrate that the article on you passes GNG. If two or three reliable sources such as a history of comics or a newspaper article about comics scholarship devoted a page to you and your expertise, that would work, but I don't see that. Instead I see passing references in sources that are essentially about other things; you're not the primary topic under discussion in those sources. The list of publications isn't irrelevant, and could tip a marginal case, but I don't see the sources that would even make this marginal. Are there any reliable independent sources that discuss you -- as the primary topic of at least part of the source? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:51, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Already listed in the references is the article about me in Fancyclopedia, the article about me in Bill Schelly's A Life in Comic Fandom, and the article about me in Toonopedia.Rick Norwood (talk) 21:05, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convinced that Fancyclopedia counts as a reliable source; and I'm one of the most active sf editors on Wikipedia (and I have a background in fandom), so it's not from ignorance. Feel free to convince me. The Toonopedia article is not about you, though it mentions you several times in passing. I would need convincing that Toonopedia is reliable -- a quick look at the main page makes it appear to be a labour of love without editorial oversight. I don't have access to Schelly but if it's an article actually about you or if there is discussion of you, rather then just a mention of your positions as editor (or etc.) then it might count. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:53, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm glad to be talking to someone who knows about sf fandom. Do you know Dick Eney's Fancyclopedia II, on which the modern Fancyclopedia is based? In any case, Fancyclopedia is probably as reliable a reference to sf fandom as there is. As for Toonopedia, it is true that it is a labor of love, but so is Wikipedia. Full disclosure, Don Markstein, who created Toonopedia, was my roommate for a while forty years ago. I've never met Bill Shelley as far as I can remember (though I may have, I've been to an awful lot of cons). The book includes a short article about me, not just a mention. You ask for a newspaper story about me. There have been several, and I think I saved the clippings, but I can't find them now. There were along the lines of "Mathematician publishes comic book". The print reviews I was able to find make it pretty clear that I am thought of as an expert in the field. "Rick Norwood is an old hand by now at the art of how to present reprints of classic comic strip. He's done super-fancy huge volumes, ongoing reprint anthology periodicals, and book-length collections." And I am well-known enough to have Fantagraphics, a major publisher in the world of comics, to invite me to edit nine books for them, and for Titan, another major publisher, to invite me to write introductions for their books. These were paying jobs. It is not clear to me what more is necessary. (I've also been editing Wikipedia almost every day for the past twelve years.) Rick Norwood (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note solely regarding Fancyclopedia: Fancyclopedia is self-described as being open to editing by anyone who wants to join. It is not a reliable source, it is user-generated content. Similarly see WP:SPS. — MarkH21 (talk) 00:56, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Rick: I'm familiar with both Fancy II and its predecessor, the original Fancyclopedia, by Jack Speer; I cited both when I was doing research for the OED, but the OED's definition of a reliable source is not the same as ours. I did a search at newspapers.com for your name and "comics" and found a few hits, but my subscription has expired, so I'll leave a note at the renewal page asking any stalkers there to take a look and post here if anything looks like it would help the article pass the GNG. From what I can see, the problem is "significant": the GNG demands significant coverage in more than one source. Even if I were to take Schelly on faith as significant coverage (and you might want to transcribe what it says if you feel it will help your argument) the newspaper articles, from what I can see in the snippets visible without a subscription, are not substantial. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 02:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mike Christie: Using my Newspapers.com account I found the following mentions from the 'Rick Norwood comics' search: A quote, another quote, [inclusion in a list, and a small mention. Nothing significant as far as I can see there. Sam Walton (talk) 11:06, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't think of a way to explain in words why so many people who love comic strips love the books I've edited and published, and why people who do not know much about comic strips have trouble understand the impact these books made, especially Prince Valiant -- an American Epic. I'll only point out that everyone who wants this article kept knows comic strips and, as far as I can tell, everyone who wants the article deleted does not. Maybe pictures will help. Here are the images from a search on Prince Valaint, an American Epic, the name of the Prince Valiant books I published. The first three rows of images are images from my books. https://www.google.com/search?q=prince+valiant+an+american+epic&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjrnIaBlsjhAhXtlOAKHfTaA-84ChD8BQgQKAM&biw=1920&bih=944 At the time I published them, only one previous comic strip reprint was this large, a Tarzan reprint. Even today, there are only about a dozen books to ever reprint comic strips the size the appeared in newspapers in the 1930s and 1040s.Rick Norwood (talk) 13:48, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • without pretending to know anything about comics, I ran a proquest news archive search and found The People's Prince // You spared us no mercy when we pulled the plug onyour most valiant comic, so we're bringing it back Salamon, Jeff. Austin American Statesman; Austin, Tex. [Austin, Tex28 May 2000: K1. ] : ""It's mainly useful for getting people interested in history," says Rick Norwood, a professor of mathematics at East Tennessee State University. In addition to his expertise in algebraic topology, Norwood is a comic strip scholar who publishes "Prince Valiant: An American Epic," a painstaking series of oversize volumes that reprint Foster's work in fine detail. "But if you really want to know about history you should read Will and Ariel Durant. In some ways Prince Valiant is authentic, in some ways it isn't. It compresses events; you couldn't have all this history happen in one man's lifetime.". E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:01, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you. I've been trying to think rationally about this procedure, which is not easy. Nobody likes to be told that something they have worked very hard on, and are proud of, is not noteworthy. Every major reviewer of comic strips has reviewed the reprint books I published. Almost all of these reviews have praised the books. I've given examples in the footnotes to this article. You say someone else should have given these examples, but most of them appeared in print media years ago and nobody but me clipped and saved them. Even I could only find a few. A lot of people read the comics, but only a few follow magazines that review the comics, and in this small community, everybody knows everybody else. So, if you dismiss all the people who know me, you effectively ban all experts on the subject from the discussion. That sounds like a catch 22 to me.

  • delete I don't think the GNG is met. I didn't find evidence to show he's notable as a mathematician or professor. I don't think he's notable as an author although maybe a case could be made (sources are hard to judge about reliability and independence). For me, the possible arguments for keeping are countered by the facts of it being an autobiography and canvassing. The determining factor was that not meeting the GNG is more important than possibly meeting an SNG.Sandals1 (talk) 15:11, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment well it’s been tagged for five and a half years for unverifiable information, and since last year for possibly lacking notability. These are absolutely relevant to AfD. You’ve added some refs but they are not inline citations so it’s not clear which specific parts of the current article they might support. The content of this article that is supported by inline citations amounts to less then two sentences. Mccapra (talk) 01:47, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You should review Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, specifically, WP:SURMOUNTABLE. The existence of sources is all that's required to establish notability, per WP:NEXIST. The policy says that the sources need not even be listed at the bottom of the article, as I have done, only that we present them in discussion. The fact that you and I know significant coverage meeting WP:GNG is all that's needed. There are many thousands upon thousands of articles in poor shape with several maintenance tags, which nonetheless are are on notable topics. They are expected to sit there waiting until someone gets to them, and there is no deadline. Wikipedia:Editing policy, alongside the notability policy, reiterates that we build Wikipedia by starting with crap, and keeping it. The genius of Wikipedia has always been that we do keep the crap long enough for someone to build upon. If we deleted everything that wasn't good, incremental progress would be impossible.

It would be particularly harmful to violate the notability and editing policy by deleting this bio of an African-American inventor and entrepreneur, given that the well known Systemic bias of Wikipedia means there are disproportionately few such bios. Deleting a perfectly notable one out of impatience with cleanup would be egregious. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:32, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there are reliable sources that support this article, that's great. Looking at the article as it stands, I've no idea which particular assertions within it are properly sourced, and which aren't. You've taken the trouble to identify new sources, and I don't understand why you wouldn't want to make them inline citations. Of the sources I can see, inline citation 3 doesn't mention Kerry Harris or his invention at all. When I look him up in Black Enterprise Magazine I see that he was nominated for Innovator of the Year, not that he won it as this article claims. The ref you've added from vol 274 of Popular Science is just a passing mention. Overall what I see is - there is a guy who hold a few patents for an invention in helmets. I don't believe that is sufficient to make him notable. There are a few references here and there to the fact that he hold these patents. He has apparently not won any ward or distinction that would make him notable. There is a bio section in the article which is completely unsourced and doesn't support a claim for notability either. Overall this is pretty thin stuff. It's been around for eight years so I don't think anyone's being hasty. Mccapra (talk) 09:54, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe you read the policies I cited. Please do so. They explain why your concerns about a lack of inline citations, and uncited statements in the article, and lack of awards that impress you, have no relevance to this AfD discussion. You're clinging to this incorrect belief that AfD is cleanup. The evidence shows the subject is notable, meeting WP:GNG. End of AfD discussion. A discussion about defects in the article belongs elsewhere. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:29, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm on the fence on this. Usually I give the benefit of the doubt for cases where systemic bias might be an issue, as Dennis pointed out. We have two articles about the subject in Black Enterprise, which is good. I see some other things about the invention which is squishy, and one Who's Who which we often ignore in AfDs. If I saw maybe one more solid bio in another journal I'd feel better about a keep !vote. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:03, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • AfD is not cleanup. It's disruptive to come to AfD and set conditions on your voting. If we reward your behavior, editors will come to AfD and post lists of demands for edits they want to see before delivering their !votes. If an topic is notable, it remains notable regardless of the current state of the article. If someone blanked all of Winston Churchill, the topic remains notable even when the article is vandalized. We fix the problem, rather than argue for deletion. I hope AfD closers will work to discourage this kind of making demands as a conditions for votes

    You could reply "Oh, yeah? Well in that case, my vote is DELETE! Take that!" That would be even more disruptive. Classic AfD blackmail. Please don't. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – As mentioned above, based the on current situation of Mr. Harris and his work, this is a border-line case but believe it does pass our requirements for inclusion. Given his involvement and development with regards to installation of monitoring equipment in safety helmets and the ongoing mounting concern of concussions in both pleasure and professional sports here in the United States, I see Mr. Harris gaining more and more attention. In addition, I have added some inline cites from WP:RS sources in the main article, which should eliminates some of the concerns of the nominator.

I do not think this article is notable. Of the 16 sources listed, 11 seem to be primary sources. Then, regarding the 5 remaining sources: Source number 1: A small historical note to the NYWCA Archive of the NYU Fales Library, doesn't seem to imply huge notability, but it is a reliable secondary source. Source number 2: Organisation mentioned in the New York Daily News, a tabloid of which there is no consensus on its reliability. Source number 3: Article of a HuffPost contributor, which is considered generally unreliable. Source number 4: Mentioned in a book which has 570 entries of restaurants etc. in New York, doesn't seem to imply huge notability. Source number 16: This is a good source, but seems mostly focused on the organisation's archive and not the organisation itself.

Taking all these factors into account, I do not think this page is notable per WP:ORG.

  • As the author of this article, it will surprise no one that I believe the NYWCA is notable enough to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. It has been active continuously for more than 35 years, representing thousands of members in total. Here's why: Its founding members included Julia Child, Sara Moulton, and Jean Anderson, all of whom are the subject of separate Wikipedia articles. Its members have been affiliated with the Four Seasons restaurant, the Food Network, Gourmet magazine, and Ladies Home Journal, all of which are the subject of separate Wikipedia articles. One of the article’s citations is from the New York Daily News, which is described as “a tabloid of which there is no consensus on its reliability” – an assertion made without any supporting evidence. Regarding the News’s reliability, I’ll note to start that it has been published continuously since 1919. More tellingly, according to Wikipedia itself, the Daily News was awarded a Pulitzer Prize as recently as 2017, for a story "about the widespread abuse of eviction rules by the police to oust hundreds of people, most of them poor minorities.” As for Suzanne Hamlin, the author of the story in the Daily News, she landed at the New York Times in 1992 and wrote about food for that publication for the next ten years: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzanne-hamlin-8139a69. Another source, the Huffington Post, is also accused without evidence of unreliability. But The Post’s Wikipedia entry notes that it was awarded a Peabody Award in 2010 and a Pulitzer Prize in 2012. And in 2015, it was nominated for the Responsible Media of the Year by the British Muslim Awards. Finally, MrClog describes New York University’s Fales Library as “a good source,” but then discounts their endorsement because it “seems mostly focused on the organisation’s archive and not the organisation itself.” I’ll note only that the Fales Library is indeed a library. Conserving archives is one of the chief activities conducted by libraries – and if the Fales hadn’t been convinced of the NYWCA’s notability, they never would have bothered to acquire the group’s archives in the first place.Illbadler (talk) 19:17, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Illbadler, First of all, the fact that members are notable and did notable things does not make the organisation notable, just like how not all groups Barack Obama, etc., are members of are inherently notable, unless reliable sources report on it. My arguments on the reliability of these sources are based on WP:RS/P, which lists New York Daily News as a tabloid and notes there is no consensus on the reliability of it (see here) and posts by HuffPost contributors as generally unreliable (see here). There is also a difference between the fact that an organisation's archives may be relevant for a library and the organisation being directly relevant to a general encyclopedia. Thank you. --MrClog (talk) 20:08, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Re Wikipedia’s assessment of the Daily News: you are correct that it claims that there is no consensus on its reliability. “No consensus” means that some sources believe that it is not reliable and some believe that it is reliable. I disagree with your opinion that a library’s embrace of an archives doesn’t necessarily mean that those archives are relevant to a general encyclopedia. If it’s good enough for a notable, professionally-staffed university, it’s good enough for a user-generated encyclopedia. I noticed, by the way, that Wikipedia’s list of the reliability of some sources asserts the following about Discogs.com: “The content on Discogs is user-generated and is therefore generally unreliable.” Exactly the same charge could be leveled at Wikipedia. Thank you. Illbadler (talk) 21:23, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Illbadler, First of all, please use only one "*" per message, otherwise it looks like it are all different votes, which makes it difficult to assess consensus. Exactly the same charge could be leveled at Wikipedia: true, that's why WP:WPNOTRS states "Wikipedia articles (and Wikipedia mirrors) in themselves are not reliable sources for any purpose". Also, the fact that the archives possesed by NYWCA are notable (to a library) does not mean the organisation on itself is notable. New York Daily News is indeed not clear on its reliability, but that means that the only things you have is that this organisation's archives have been considered relevant by a university library and that a source, of which its reliability is unclear, mentions the organisation.

  • Don't delete. MrClog, I'm heartened by your work on behalf of Wikipedia in spite of your acknowledgement of its unreliability. I hope you'll extend the same generosity to the New York Daily News and the Huffington Post with regard to their coverage of the New York Women's Culinary Alliance -- and that you'll reconsider your efforts to delete the Wikipedia article about the organization. The group's many members during the past three-and-a-half decades have no doubts about its notability and effectiveness in an ongoing campaign to combat sexist bias in the food professions. Thank you.Illbadler (talk) 13:46, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just on the "book which has 570 entries". It's "significant coverage" we ask for. If it "addresses the topic directly and in detail" it doesn't matter how few or many other topics also receive significant coverage in the same publication: Bhunacat10 (talk), 18:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. The book with the 570 entries devotes a detailed article to the NYWCA by name. Thank you.Illbadler (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Bhunacat10, for as far as I could see the book spends less than half a page on it, that doesn't seem to be in much detail. --MrClog (talk) 19:00, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MrClog, The entry that precedes the entry on the New York Women's Culinary Alliance is entitled "NYU Food Studies in the 21st Century." It is 179 words long. The entry that follows the entry on the New York Women's Culinary Alliance is devoted to a 19th Century restaurant called Niblo's Garden. It is 301 words long. The entry devoted to the New York Women's Culinary Alliance is 380 words long.Illbadler (talk) 13:18, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Illbadler, so? A 380 words entry doesn't seem to be detailed enough to imply notability to me, to be honest. --MrClog (talk) 14:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MrClog, we're talking about an encyclopedic book of 570 mostly shortish entries, all of which, obviously, are notable in the opinion of the book's editors. That said, the article on the NYWCA is longer than both of the articles that bracket it.Illbadler (talk) 16:09, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Illbadler, I seriously doubt that the brief mention matches WP:PRODUCTREV. I would say that the mention matches the follwing example of trival coverage (mentioned on WP:ORG): inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists, as the book lists the 570 "food, people, places, and institutions that have made New York cuisine so wildly diverse and immensely appealing" (according to the book's description). I did some research and the writer of the entry has been involved in the organisation before she wrote the entry! The book was published in 2015 and the writer gave 2 programs in, one in 2012 and one in 2013 (see here), and therefore the source is not independent at all and really implies very little to no notability. --MrClog (talk) 19:41, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MrClog, thanks so much for the link to the website for the NYWCA. Under their "Programs" section, they describe 97 different events produced by the members of the group for the members of the group between June 2012 and June 2017. I would not characterize that level of productivity as trivial. Similarly, under "Outreach and Community," they note, "NYWCA is dedicated to supporting member initiatives and community organizations working to promote the nutrition and health of women and children in New York City....We have supported: Nourishing USA, Charles B. Wang Community Health Center, Ronald McDonald House, Cooking with Kids with Cancer, GEMS and The JCC in Manhattan SPA Day for Women with Breast or Ovarian Cancer." The first three of these programs have Wikipedia entries. All of them are notable.Illbadler (talk) 20:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Illbadler, the fact that they have their own website implies no notability. We have supported is very vague and unless reliable sources report on this support it really isn't notable. You are yet to point to me any Wikipedia policy, instead of your own opinion, that supports keeping the article on this encyclopedia. --MrClog (talk) 21:55, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MrClog, you misrepresent me. Our whole discussion has been about notability. It was you who first provided a link to the NYWCA's website. If the website is notable enough for you to use to attack the writer of the piece about the NYWCA in “Savoring Gotham,” then it’s notable enough for me to depend on for an account of the astonishing productivity of their programming. Indeed, it is not my opinion, it is a matter of fact that the NYWCA has produced and continues to produce substantial programming for its members and to support notable community organizations in and around the city of New York. You and I have also directly discussed the reliability of the sources in my entry. As noted, I believe that the Daily News and the Huffington Post, both of which have written about the NYWCA, are no less reliable than Wikipedia itself. I’ve also pointed out that Suzanne Hamlin, who wrote about the NYWCA for the Daily News, went on to distinguish herself as a writer for the New York Times, the notability of which is indisputable.Illbadler (talk) 22:43, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Illbadler, You make a few false assumptions here.
    MrClog, I assume nothing. I make assertions based on research and reason.Illbadler (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • If the website is notable enough for you to use to attack the writer [...] then it’s notable enough for me to depend on for an account of the astonishing productivity of their programming - First of all, I don't "attack" the writer, rather, I explain why she is not independent. Second, this claim is simply not true, there's a substantial difference between me pointing out someone's involved in an organisation according to a primary source and you claiming it is notable because of that primary source. See: WP:PSTS
    • MrClog, your research on the writer was meant to discredit her. It certainly was an attack. And your reliance on a primary source for research on a writer certainly allows me to rely on that same source for credible information about its activities.Illbadler (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • it is not my opinion, it is a matter of fact that the NYWCA has produced and continues to produce substantial programming for its members and to support notable community organizations in and around the city of New York - This is again just an opinion. You have cited no reliable sources that claim they gave "substantial programming", and their support for certain organisations doesn't make them notable. I donate to certain notable NGOs, am I notable enough for a WP article now?
    • MrClog, my "opinion" about the group's programming is an accurate summary of the extensive information they provide about those activities. As for your support for certain notable NGOs, you are an individual. If your support included organizing on their behalf and generating publicity and money for those organizations, you might indeed merit a WP article. As for the NYWCA, their support for these notable organizations is a matter of public record, and the public acceptance by the organizations of the NYWCA is a measure of the group's notability.Illbadler (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • As noted, I believe that the Daily News and the Huffington Post, both of which have written about the NYWCA, are no less reliable than Wikipedia itself - Agreed, as per WP:WPNOTRS, Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
    • MrClog, I appreciate your candor. On that basis alone, you should abandon your campaign to delete the entry on the NYWCA.Illbadler (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I’ve also pointed out that Suzanne Hamlin, who wrote about the NYWCA for the Daily News, went on to distinguish herself as a writer for the New York Times, the notability of which is indisputable - That doesn't mean anything to this discussion. It's not simply the writer that matters when looking at reliability of sources, it is also about the editorial team of a newspaper and the type of news they send out.
    --MrClog (talk) 23:19, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • MrClog, I completely disagree. A given writer builds his or her own reputation. The Times -- that paragon of reliability -- never would have hired her if she hadn't previously established her reliability.Illbadler (talk) 00:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      Illbadler, I would like to respectfully ask you to, instead of using your own opinion, use Wikipedia policy to back this article's notability. Besides that, please (re)read WP:PSTS. I didn't attack the writer of the entry, I simply said that she is not independent as per WP:ORGIND (part of the guideline specifically on notability of organisations), which lists any material written or published, including websites, by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it, directly or indirectly as an example of dependent sources. --MrClog (talk) 19:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      MrClog, I have always endorsed Wikipedia’s policy regarding notability and I continue to do so now. WP’s articles are written by amateurs with no notability – or credibility -- of their own. Establishing the notability of a given subject with reliable secondary sources is thus an unimpeachable attempt to overcome this basic defect of Wikipedia. But there are limits to the efficacy of this solution. What is one to do if a prospective subject somehow hasn’t generated significant notice from respectable third parties in the media? It happens sometimes. I have done my best to adduce commentary from secondary sources attesting to the notability of the New York Women’s Culinary Alliance. I continue to believe that the sources I cite are sufficient to that purpose – you disagree -- but I admit I wish there were more. How to explain this lack? In the case of the NYWCA, it speaks to their utter lack of desire as an organization to generate publicity. They are an organization devoted exclusively to helping women culinary professionals overcome sexist bias in the profession. As its members would attest, and as the organization’s longevity attests, this focus has been – and continues to be – successful. But the NYWCA’s work has not garnered much public notice in the larger world. Still, if the article on the NYWCA is deleted on the basis of current WP policy, I believe it will be WP’s loss. In March of 2018, the New York Times’ obituary section began publishing a feature called ”Overlooked.” An unsigned explanation of the origin of the feature noted that “since 1851, the New York Times has published thousands of obituaries….The vast majority chronicled the lives of men….Charlotte Bronte wrote “Jane Eyre”’ Emily Warren Roebling oversaw construction of the Brooklyn Bridge; Madhubala transfixed Bollywood; Ida B. Wells campaigned against lynching. Yet all of their deaths went unremarked in our pages.” Summing up, William McDonald, the Times’ obituary editor, wrote, “With ‘Overlooked,’ our new collection of obituaries for women and others who never got them, The Times is acknowledging that many worthy subjects were skipped for generations, for whatever reasons.” Going forward, WP might want to take a tip from the Times.Illbadler (talk) 13:57, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Great. Thanks.Illbadler (talk) 13:29, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While I agree that the organization is doing important work and has significance in its field, most of the things I've read profile the members far more than the organization itself. Unfortunately, many article topics which should be deserving die in process due to lack of reliable source coverage. This does not mean that the article can't come back later if and when more in-depth coverage is given about it in various media. My other concern is that I suspect Illbadler may have a conflict of interest regarding this topic, specifically regarding an affiliation with Sarah Moulton, who was one of the founders of the organization.

  • Delete or draftify. There's enough in E.M.Gregory's search to make me think this organization might be notable. But, the current article is a mess. Most of the references are to the org's own newsletter, and some of the others don't look so great either. The article itself is a mess. Maybe with some good sources and WP:TNT this could so somewhere, but let that work happen in draft space.

Of the obits, only one is actually hers and they are all from the local newspaper. I already did a search online and it didn't turn up anything that establishes notability. GPL93 (talk) 13:31, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, an obituary can be used as one source amid a mix of solid sourcing; it may sometimes, for example, be the only source we can actually locate for a person's actual birth or death dates or for a woman's maiden name. But the existence of an obituary is not an instant notability pass in and of itself, because more or less every single person who exists always automatically gets one. The obituary can be used for verification of stray facts in an article that has already cleared GNG on stronger sources, but is not in and of itself a GNG maker if it's the only, or the strongest, source that's actually on offer at all.

  • Delete. Even with the new sources that have been added, the obituary itself is still the only source that's substantively about Harriet Belchic at all — all of the new ones are just glancing namechecks of her existence, not substantive coverage about her doing anything that passes a Wikipedia notability criterion. GNG is not just "anybody who's had their name mentioned in newspapers two or more times for any reason whatsoever" — it tests for the depth of how substantively any source is or isn't about her, the geographic range of where the coverage is coming from, and the context of what she's getting covered for, not just the number of footnotes present in the article. Nothing here, either in the substance or the referencing, is enough — a person does not clear GNG just because you can find her name in a list of everybody who was elected to the board of a non-notable organization, or a comprehensive list of every single person across the entire state who was a delegate to a political convention: a source helps to get her over GNG if she's substantively a subject of it, not if it's fundamentally about something or someone else and just happens to mention her name a single time in the process of not being about her. Bearcat (talk) 18:11, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is the record of an honourable, useful life, of civic virtue, of dedication to community and a willingness to put her shoulder to the wheels that make community and American democratic government work. We are fortunate to be blessed with dedicated citizens like Belchic. But none of the sources or any that I can find supports the idea that she was notable by our standards.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:29, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: While the first source (local newspaper obituary) could count towards WP:GNG, none of the other sources in the article offer any significant coverage on the subject. I found a few other passing mentions elsewhere as well (e.g. Cross to Bear) but nothing sufficient to count towards GNG. Her actual accomplishments fall short of WP:NPOL and WP:ANYBIO. — MarkH21 (talk) 18:56, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • I put six references on there, how many do I need? I spent quite of bit of time on this page. Not recently because I've been busy but I did add some more info recently. I am getting frustrated with the process especially since I have another page/draft (Olivia Dekker) I've been waiting two months to get approved.- Dwightform (talk)
    • As I said on my talk page, the number of sources isn't the issue, it's that all of the sources cited are poor quality and essentially count for nothing when assessing notability. Sources #1, #2, #5, and #8 are interviews, which are not independent. Source #3 is a non-independent profile on the MLB website (after all, she works for the MLB Network). Sources #4, #6, and #7 are complete trivia which say nothing about the subject. Notability will only be established if you can find independent, reliable sources that cover the subject in significant depth (per WP:GNG), or if you can demonstrate that the subject has won a notable award (per WP:ANYBIO). signed, Rosguill talk 03:55, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • I am a bit on the fence here. I would expect that someone with her degree of prominence as a sportscaster would generate enough coverage to meet GNG. But I haven't found quite enough to satisfy me yet. I would certainly give credit for the Tampa Bay Times as at least one solid source, with a number of stories referenced in the article plus this, a smaller piece here, and others. But that is just one source. Otherwise, while I would not discount the Sports Business Daily article completely, since it was written and published independently of her, it is rather weak. And while I can't dismiss the Instagram bit entirely, since it was covered in many reliable sources, it is also a weak hook on which to hand a notability argument. So I still think we need at least one more solid source outside the Tampa Bay Times before I can support keeping. 16:38, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

    Sure, but those are passing mentions / lists – not significant coverage. The first one (200 Young South Africans entry) might count as significant coverage (if we ignore that entries can be self-nominations), but even then there doesn't seem to exist enough evidence of significant coverage from independent secondary reliable sources to clearly pass GNG or WP:BASIC. — MarkH21 (talk) 00:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Résumé-toned WP:BLP of a writer and academic whose claims of notability are not reliably sourced. She is a lecturer and associate professor, which are not levels that automatically guarantee Wikipedia articles just because the person exists, but the article is referenced entirely to primary source profiles and pieces about other things where she's the writer, not to any reliable source coverage about her. There were more footnotes here before I stripped the WP:ELNO-violating linkfarm of every individual article she ever wrote for a newspaper or magazine, because each link was "footnoted" to a reduplicated repetition of itself -- but these still were't notability-bolstering sources, because they still represented her bylined writing about other things, not other people writing about her or her work as a subject. There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the creator was an SPA with a username that's at least mildly suggestive of being the subject herself. As always, academics are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their writing about other things technically metaverifies its own existence -- she has to be the subject of sources written by other people to clear a Wikipedia inclusion standard.

    Hi,
    I am the writer of the article. The subject of the WP:BLP has reliable source coverage in that her work has been discussed in The Globe and Mail, The New York Times, Canadian Business, Cosmopolitan and Daily Mail among others, links and citations of which were included in initial revisions of the article.
    I would like to assure that there is no conflict of interest.
    I have edited the introduction to reflect to a certain extent the emphasis on the publications. The Academic Appointment section serves as a transition between the Education section and the Publication section. Explanations of academic appointments by their very nature are resume-themed. A key point to emphasize in the section would include the initiation of the course on Economics of sex and love - using economics to explain sexual values and relationships.
    The paragraphs in the Publication section are reliant on primary source information as it serves as a discussion of the (at times counter-intuitive) state of knowledge that is a linchpin of the notable literature, research and discussions of the subject of the WP:BLP.
    I look forward to constructive criticism and suggestions on how to improve the article.

    Last time I nominated this for deletion (with the closer saying "No prejudice to bringing this to AfD again in a couple of months") I wrote:

    This surely fails WP:CRYSTAL; it's an article about something that doesn't exist yet, with the assertions that it will exist coming from figures who are perhaps not universally regarded as trustworthy.
    Until such a report does exist, it does not seem to me to merit a page. Some of the material on the article could perhaps be used in pages about things that do exist.

    It's been a couple of months and the only thing that has changed is that the Trump party line is that Mueller's report exonerates him completely. Whether or not one believes that, this "counter report" is presumably even less likely to ever see the light of day, and the little of any value in this page could be merged elsewhere as a brief incident in the history of the Mueller report. Pinkbeast (talk) 08:13, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Pinkbeast Yes, it has been only a couple of months but this new nomination of Afd is premature at best and is a bad grounds to begin with. And in respect to the recent news of Attorney General Barr's synopsis on Mueller's special counsel, there has been one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, over 8 different publications in the past 72 hours discussing about what is next in the Special Counsel and how the White House plans to react. Aviartm (talk) 11:50, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Those don't all even mention the supposed "counter report" and typically predate the current claim that the report exonerates Trump. As said, there is even less reason now to suppose this "counter report" will ever see the light of day - and unless it does, this article is pointless, with cites that justify only a brief mention in the article about the Mueller report. Pinkbeast (talk) 04:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Every single article mentions "counter(-)report", one way or the other. If you used CTRL+F or Command+F, you would see the words and a little description detailing the counter-report.

    Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
    Relisting comment: The last AfD was relisted twice then closed as no consensus noting lack of participation, but per that close this renomination was justified and right on time. After a full week listed here again, and over six days without comment (despite the obvious news), I fear we are once again going down that path.

    To redirect is to deprive of this page's value and contents. Furthermore, this article is not a book and per WP:BKCRYSTAL rules, this article stands correct. Aviartm (talk) 00:50, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see why this wouldn't be considered a book (assuming that it actually comes to exist). It would be a book-length, textual, monographic (non-serial) publication. And WP:BKCRYSTAL says, "Articles about books that are not yet published are accepted only if they are not excluded by the Wikipedia is not a crystal ball policy, and only under criteria other than those provided by this guideline, typically because the anticipation of the book is notable in its own right. In such cases there should be independent sources which provide strong evidence that the book will be published, and which include the title of the book and an approximate date of publication." We don't know the title or the publication date, and there is some doubt that the book will be published, because not all of the projects promised by the Trump administration necessarily come into existence. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:07, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Not sure this person meets any point of WP:NARTIST. Couldn't find any substantial sources about her on a search. The citations on this article are all to galleries and exhibitions that she has been featured in, but those are not independent sources when considering notability - what matters is independent coverage of her exhibitions, which I can find no evidence of. ♠PMC(talk) 11:00, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    This article falls well short of establishing notability. Of the six sources, four are the company's own web site. The other two are "puff pieces", only one of which is about the company (and reads more like an advertorial), the other is about its founder. The style of the article is also problematic, reading more like an advertisement, right down to listing what is on the menu. But the main problem remains the failure to meet WP:GNG.

    Note that this song's true title is "#HappyBirthdaySidna" but the hashtag cannot appear in the article title. Despite the supposed all-star recording effort, there is little evidence of notability for this song. It is confined to YouTube and various copycat streaming sites, with little coverage in reliable sources. The article's one current reference, an article in Morocco WorldNews, does mention the song but only as an event that was attended by various celebrities, and the song does not inherit their notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 14:44, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
