The result was delete. No prejudice against a redirect if it can be sourced in the target section. czar05:38, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Longford: This article is little more than a list of former and current firms renting premises at this retail park, which in the absence of references could amount to WP:OR. Searches find brief local coverage in the Longford Leader of retail openings and incidents at the retail park, but nothing that indicates specific notability. The brief coverage already at Longford#Economy seems sufficient; a redirect to there seems a reasonable option. AllyD (talk) 10:13, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If one of these multiple articles is to survive, it should probably be with this title. However, the current article text is promotional and I am not seeing a previous quiet point version to which it could be reverted and improved, for example by incorporating the coverage referenced in the Ikono_(art_democratization) article, to facilitate consideration of whether notability can be demonstrated. AllyD (talk) 17:17, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The article from The National (Abu Dhabi) which I added as a reference is associated with their then-recent regional launch. From around the same time, there is a paywalled article by Alex Newman; while I can't see that, it contains the same sentences as this uncredited post which appears to be the same, and would indicate it to have been tied to their relaunch in central Europe and to be more about the founder's biography than the particular service.Some may regard these two items as sufficient for WP:NCORP but my view is that both are associated with describing the start-up proposition, and that more subsequent coverage is needed to demonstrate attained notability. Happy to revise my opinion on this particular article if such coverage can indeed be identified. AllyD (talk) 09:25, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ateneo de Manila University#Professional Schools. None of these Ateneo de Manila University article forks are notable and it's ridiculous they where created in the first place. Hopefully once all the similar articles are deleted or redirect the template for them will be deleted also.

Delete or Merge Extremely selectively to Ateneo de Manila University. There's zero difference between the college of the university and the university itself. At least not enough to warrant the college having it's own article. Even if there was enough good references to justify it. Which there clearly isn't. So I support either deleting or selectively merging this. Only the small amount of material that's referenced should be merged if the AfD is closed as merge though. --Adamant1 (talk) 14:01, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not only may fail WP:NORG and WP:N, but also may fail WP:V#Notability. Created probably merely to promote the organization from India (maybe without looking like an advertisement). Furthermore, users repeatedly infringed the official website, incorporating the material into the article. Searched for third-party sources substantially covering the organization, but they briefly mentioned it or never at all.
This article briefly details the organization, including its cooperation with Indian military in just two sentences in one paragraph. Preceding paragraphs briefly mentioned what the organization did for just one occasion, but that's about it. The news article was never about primarily the organization as much as about something else in the journalist's mind. George Ho (talk) 22:09, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced after being tagged as such for 12 1/2 years. Prod was removed. This one fails WP:GNG, WP:ORG. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES once granted high schools automatic notability if they could be proven to exist, but this free pass was eliminated by consensus in a 2017 RFC. This school doesn't meet any standards of notability and should be deleted. Jacona (talk) 17:29, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no indication of notability, as Jacona said. Circumstances of the article's creation eliminates draftifying as an ATD; commonplace name eliminates redirecting as an ATD.209.63.121.20 (talk) 16:53, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Original rationale was "There is no claim to the notability of this book. What is so special about it? Books are written about the NFL all the time." PROD was removed with the rationale: "see Bookmarks". I assume this is an instruction to refer to the article's one source, which is a book review website. The site appears to aggregate all the reviews of a given book fairly indiscriminately, and there is still no substantiation of the claim to notability. – PeeJay17:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm, book reviews are pretty much the very definition of trivial, even if they're in reputable publications. You're trying to tell me getting reviewed by a few newspapers is the equivalent of winning a "major literary award"? That's absolute nonsense. – PeeJay21:38, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's long standing consensus that multiple book reviews in important publications qualifies a book for an article under our notability guidelines. SportingFlyerT·C21:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Bookmarks review got tossed for some reason (they're a review aggregator like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic), but on the page you can see 10 overall reviews. I agree that the article could use some work, but a stub is better than nothing IMO. Pinging @SportingFlyer:, open to a discussion on Bookmarks. Therapyisgood (talk) 20:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify: (and salt): Essentially as the content is not suitable for an encyclopedic article as it stands. If this stuff was wanted in this form a web bot could scrape off the Bookmarks site and pretty well generate thousands of articles like his. As it stands this is almost totally promotional and very little encyclopedic and merely a directory to other stuff. I doubt it would be accepted at AfC, though the bar is is with good reason a tad higher. Its also a nightmare for the NPP guys as there pretty reluctant to curate it. Its probable most reviews are at book launch, September 2018; though the Leavy TWSJ journal article is 4 January 2019 giving a little spread. It needs more content before its ready for mainspace. I believe the author has pushed through many such articles recently so this is somewhat of test case at AfD. Its also why I suggest draftify and salt. These really needs to get up beyond a one liner stub to somewhere between start and C Class.Djm-leighpark (talk) 22:00, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Djm-leighpark, your interpretation of that discussion is correct. Draftification is a process initiated by a single editor, so opposition to it means the draft must be returned to mainspace. Draftifying through an AfD discussion is by consensus, and so has nothing to do with the review process of draftification. Onel5969TT me12:19, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but it's certainly a problem that articles for so many notable books have been merely created by this editor, without them taking the time to include even a bare minimum of prose about background or writing or reception, etc. Caro7200 (talk) 22:27, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And there's nothing wrong with stubs or short articles--we just need more than a sentence or two initially (although I've probably been guilty of same in the past). Caro7200 (talk) 22:31, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly passes WP:GNG with third party articles in major publications. I agree the content needs to be beefed up, but that's an editing issue and not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:48, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A wholly promotional article, likely created by a CoI editor. No indication of notability. Merely setting up a successful business doesn't confer automatic notability. Citations included have just passing mention of the subject, moreover, these are mostly sponsored content. Fails WP:GNG, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOVRationalPuff (talk) 16:50, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non notable businesswoman. Only passing mentions or puff pieces provided as references and nothing better found in a WP:BEFORE. Most of the references are about her company which I believe would not pass WP:NCORP if it had an article, so I don't believe she merits any automatic inherited notability as well. JupitusSmart02:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The subject seems to have been covered in multiple news publications, which come across as reliable and unbiased (non-editorial pieces on national newspapers like The Hindu, The New Indian Express, Deccan Chronicle, India Today, BCC News, etc). Also, the subject's work has been absorbed into the curriculum by the Ministry of Education, Singapore. Hence, the notability criteria seems pretty strong to me, which is why this page was created based on personal research on the subject. When small-time entertainers and artists can be assessed as notable, why do we consider business achievers (who are inspiration to thousands of kids) as not notable? If the community still feels that the page needs to be deleted, then so be it. --Chakra14 (talk) 11:14, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep I’m struggling to see how an important theory of Mao’s wouldn’t be notable, and the plentiful references and bibliography indicate that it clearly is. Mccapra (talk) 18:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Mccapra: Could you please indicate which references indicate that this theory is real or notable? I checked several of the references in the article, and they don't mention this theory. —Mx. Granger (talk·contribs) 11:31, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the sources don’t explicitly support the existence of this theory so the article looks more like SYNTH than it did on first impression so I’m striking my vote. Mccapra (talk) 12:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete On reviewing the references, I cannot see a direct quote of the name of this theory. Upon searching Google Scholar, very limited results came back for "Theory of National Struggle" and the other varient presented in this article seems to focus on ethnic struggle more generally, rather than provide a discussion on this as a theory. If this is a language barrier, maybe adding new source that outline this theory in English would help save this article. But, as it currently stands, I do not see this theory presented in academic literature - please do prove me wrong otherwise though! Jamzze (talk) 12:36, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm inclined to say delete per Jamzze. The sources in the article seem dubious – they include primary sources by Lenin (published before Mao came to power) and websites that do not seem to mention the article's subject. If better sources are available (or if some of the offline sources actually do discuss this topic) then I'm open to reconsidering, but at this point I don't see evidence that this is actually a topic discussed in reliable sources. —Mx.

Delete. Chairing a political party's internal committee is not an WP:NPOL-passing role, the article does not suggest that he's held any more notable roles (e.g. in the state or national legislature) that would bolster his notability at all, and the article is not referenced even remotely close to well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to hold an NPOL-passing role.

Delete. Local market radio personalities are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their staff profiles on the self-published websites of their own employers technically verify that they exist — the notability test requires journalistic coverage about them in sources independent of their employers, demonstrating that they would pass WP:GNG, but there's nothing like that being shown here at all.

I closed the first AfD as "no consensus". However, there have been problems verifying the claims to WP:NMUSIC suggested by the sole "keep" !vote on the last sparsely attended debate. Further discussion is required. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)12:14, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to I Got a Boy or Delete - fails WP:NMUSIC, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:GNG. There is lack of coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Although she is credited for co-writing/co-composing one track for I Got a Boy, which according to WP:COMPOSERmay indicate that the subject is notable, there is insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article. Most sources used in the article to support claims are not independent. Since the subject is best known for co-writing credit on one notable composition, and otherwise fails WP:CREATIVE, I don't think there is enough reason for a standalone article. --Ashleyyoursmile!12:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment We generally do not redirect composers to albums they have worked on, unless there is an extremely strong association between the composer and that album.

Article content is based almost entirely on self-published content. Independent coverage is routine and does not meet WP:GNG or WP:SIRS standards. Corporate notability is not inherited (WP:INHERITORG). The article tries to portray the company as "a scheme set up to find talents" rather than a for-profit management service and refers to clients as "members" rather than paying customers. 5225C (talk • contributions) 10:22, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see how this Liberty Ship is notable . Routine coverage only, and no significant events in her career. Looking at the lists of n=Liberty Ships, I see about 1/4 have articles, and in those cases I have checked, there is something much more substantial to say than this. It's not my field, but practice in the field seems sensible to me, but this is beyond it. DGG ( talk ) 09:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Community consensus has been that verifiable articles on large ships are considered notable, whether or not there were a lot of ships of the same design, or that they had to have had some extraordinary event or occurrance over their existence. Her wartime movements are here, showing she was on the Atlantic convoys, in the Mediterranean during the North African campaigns and the invasions of Italy, and in the Indian Ocean and South Atlantic towards the end of the war. Article can be expanded using these and similar sources. As an aside I'm a little surprised to see that you nominated this, given your views expressed on a similar discussions here and here DGG. Of course, views can change. Spokoyni (talk) 11:03, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:By community consensus, WP:SHIP has established that civilian ships larger than 100 tons or over 100ft in length worthy of articles. As an author of almost 300 Liberty Ship articles I can attest to the fact that this is a large project to add the 2710 Liberty Ships built, but once added, they can be expanded upon. Instead of nominating for deletion, find ways to expand the articles.Pennsy22 (talk) 11:35, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Old unreferenced BLP tagged in February 2018 (I'm working through these now). No external referenced except the IMDB are provided and notability is questionable. My G-searches turned up only Vietnamese-language sources; I don't read Vietnamese so I'm unable to find any useful sources for this actor. Can any AfD regulars help source this?

Delete - fails WP:GNG as there is no significant coverage about him. Doesn't matter if he appears in a game tomorrow, he still needs significant coverage. The FAQ from the top of WP:NFOOTBALL makes it crystal clear that all sport figures need to pass WP:GNG regardless of how many professional appearances they have.
Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline? A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions. For contemporary persons, given a reasonable amount of time to locate appropriate sources, the general notability guideline should be met in order for an article to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. (For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics.)

Non-notable ROTM events etc. business. The article is quite old, and seems to have been always virtually unreferenced; now actually so. Not an easy subject to search for, but I tried, and found nothing. Fails WP:GNG / WP:COMPANY. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:26, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Passes WP:GNG. This is probably the largest entertainment company in Iceland, not just a record company. There are thousands of sources available in the Icelandic media found if you Google "Sena site:*.is". I added a couple of sources for the statements already in the article. Alvaldi (talk) 09:59, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Alvaldi:. Just to point out that 'thousands of sources' is only relevant if at least some of them provide significant coverage of the company, not passing mentions or coverage only of the company's products and services. That said, based on the sources you've already added, I'm happy to withdraw this nom. Cheers, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:25, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

moved by contributor from draft space, but it remains a promotional article that fails NCORP. Thissort of editing is typically COI. DGG ( talk ) 06:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have nothing to do with the company, nor with the Wise Guys. I'm just editing articles about topics that are interesting to me. I read about Rapyd on TechCrunch, so I decided to create an article. Tell me what exactly does not meet the criteria of significance, and what is advertising? I edited dozens of different articles and saw their quality and improved them as much as possible. You can see from my contribution that I am on the contrary trying to make the articles appropriate for Wikipedia and add authoritative sources.--Condiwiki (talk) 15:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CORP and WP:CORPDEPTH, which lists criteria for notability, and also a list of criteria that don't connote notability - which the references section of this article closely resembles. What are the three best references that clearly connote notability per the guidelines? - David Gerard (talk) 19:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are some links as examples which prove the notability and importance of the company.
Those are all fundraising rounds, which are not considered sufficient to avoid deletion. See "Numerical facts" section of WP:CORP, which I referred you to above.

Indiscriminate list of… well, miscellaneous information. Not only are there no criteria for why something should be here in this weird appendix rather than in the main page suite, half of the entries aren’t even “translations” so much as paraphrases. Dronebogus (talk) 06:12, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I've made the point before, when a list starts with the immortal words "A broader list of XYZ is at List of XYZ", then the list it introduces is a non-list. Delete with prejudice. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge selectively into the existing articles Modern English Bible translations and Bible translations into English and Early Modern English Bible translations. It is perhaps a bit unfortunate that there are already three pages rather than one. The exact time-point at which something becomes a "Modern" translation rather than "Early Modern" would be rather helpful. It's sounding like those compass directions (North by north by a bit east of North east). There certainly shouldn't be an additional miscellaneous list - but it's possible some items in it will have escaped attention in one of the other three pages while still being notable and worthy of mention. Elemimele (talk) 12:18, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Selectively. The page mentions its for translations that are 'not easily classified in the other groups', however looking through the list I think the notable ones could be merged into the existing Early Modern English Bible translations and Modern English Bible translations. Some like the Modern Literal Version, Joseph Smith translation and Jefferson bible are already included in both the Misc and Modern list. Mousymouse (talk) 02:31, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NBUSINESSPERSON and WP:GNG. As for his New York Times obituary, I don't have a subscription, but I suspect it's probably as short as the Harrisburg [PA] Evening News one: "Thomas J. Bray, director of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company and former president of the Republic Steel Corporation, died suddenly in his office here [Youngstown, Ohio] today." Not to be confused with the modern-day newspaper columnist of exactly the same name. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:11, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep I do have a NYT subscription and so can confidently say that the nomination's suspicion is erroneous. Such an NYT obituary is quite adequate to demonstrate notability but, in any case, it is easy to find more detailed coverage of the subject in works such as History of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, Ohio. Our policy WP:ATD therefore applies: "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page.". See also WP:BEFORE. Andrew🐉(talk) 06:51, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This biography has been around for 7 years and has not progressed beyond what it is. It does not meet WP:GNG because significant coverage has not been provided - nor located - as per WP:SIGCOV - "Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail....Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". William Harris (talk)08:36, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The NYT obit is seven paragraphs; along with the "Who's Who" citation in the article, and the additional source found by Andrew, above, which gives a column and a half to Bray, I think that's enough to pass the GNG. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've now added a photo from the source Andrew found. Bray is also mentioned in Ketchum, Richard M.. The Borrowed Years, 1938-1941: America on the Way to War. United States, Anchor Books, 1991, but I can't tell how significant a mention it is since it's just snippet view. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 22:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure you're not confusing him with Thomas J. Bray the newspaper editor (or the lawyer and politician in the '20s and '30s)? I have a newspapers.com account, and I haven't found much about the older man other than routine announcements (made president, retiring). Clarityfiend (talk) 07:41, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GNG advises that "Sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected." Have multiple WP:SECONDARY sources been demonstrated here, "as is generally expected"? I shall leave that for you to ponder. William Harris (talk)10:34, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) The discussion shows that some editors find it all too easy to argue with such evidence. Clarityfiend continued to argue even though I told him plainly at the outset that his contrary assumption was wrong. William Harris is mainly here as WP:REVENGE for a prod of his that I removed and Piotrus is a similar case. Asketbouncer seems to be the only arguer without any baggage but their !vote was rather incoherent. All concerned should now please apologise for doubting Mike Christie who is an excellent editor, having created over 100 good and featured articles. His essay on surviving Wikipedia is also worth a read. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:46, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
William Harris is only here because you badged the article with WP:METALWORKING - and deleted WP:BIOGRAPHY, and a biography is what the article really is - but without giving an assessment; the action appeared on one of my lists of interest. So there is an obituary, and some brief mention in the odd publication - that still does not make this person meet WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple secondary sources. What has happened here is the circumvention of a legitimate WP process; WP is not a collection of facts, it is an encyclopedia. As the amount of data grows on WP, so does the cost of keeping such data - it is referred to as Information Economics. Eventually this will lead to its demise based on cost unless it is managed. Today, it was not managed. William Harris (talk)12:26, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew, thanks for the kind words. I will add that it's not unreasonable to AfD a bio supported by an NYT obit; there are plenty of early obits that are no more than squibs without any independent support for notability. E.g. from the same day that Bray's obit appears, we get this: "John H. Gordon, an organizer of the New York State Road Builders' Assoociation, and its president for fifteen years, died last night. He was graduated from the Christian Brothers Academy in Albany and Villanova College." The obit needs to be reasonably lengthy, as Bray's is, or there must be independent references. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:56, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome but WP:BEFORE details what may be reasonably expected before creating a nomination. In this case, we have fails of B2; C1; C3; C4; D1 and D3. There are also other considerations such as WP:BITE and WP:BATTLEGROUND. I picked up on this nomination because Mike's talk page is on my watchlist. Novice editors don't get the benefit of such networking and we lose a lot to such zeal. Andrew🐉(talk) 15:27, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I "continued to argue"? I merely asked some questions. As for your claim that I failed numerous parts of BEFORE,
B2: As I stated, I couldn't view the NYT article. The newer sources are mostly obscure and not readily available online.
C1: This is what the Afd is supposed to determine.
C3: This article is unlikely to have much traffic.
C4: At the time, his company was a redlink, which made an Afd more plausible. I suppose I could have checked for a different name. That charge I'll cop to.
D1: Nothing of any substance there, other than the NYT.
So, no apology from Clarityfiend because they did everything perfectly. But paradoxically they now want to withdraw this immaculate nomination. And I still think that it should be speedily closed too. But the discussion continues... Andrew🐉(talk) 09:51, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What's your problem? When I nominated the article, it had one off-line source, a New York Times obituary true, but another newspaper I could read gave a very brief version. Since then, more sources have been found, so WP:HEY applies. How is that "paradoxical"? Also, WP:No personal attacks applies as well. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:08, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. His entire life is summarized in numerous encyclopedic entries (e.g. National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, History of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, various Who's Who and Who Was Who compilations), and although secondary sources are preferred, neither WP:GNG nor WP:TERTIARYforbids the usage of tertiary sources (which often help structure biographies and facilitate the location of secondary sources). Additional coverage exists in trade industry publications: e.g. a biography and obituary, in The Iron Age, and short obit in Hardware Age. Newspapers and journal articles throughout his career provide non-trivial coverage: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." (Note: his father and son had the same name, so care should be warranted to avoid building a Frankenstein). --Animalparty! (talk) 01:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did not find a GS profile, and it is unfortunately difficult to disambiguate from other Alex Liu's. The pubs listed in the articles did not look to be highly cited; I didn't quickly find reviews for the books. There could easily be an argument for notability that I didn't yet find. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:42, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is definitely not the well-cited Alex Liu, who does research on channel state information and RFID. The Alex Liu in question here only has two articles from his WP page that are indexed by Scopus (under different profiles -- Y.C. Liu and Alex Liu), with a total of 27 citations. The article might be a student effort from the Data Communication and Visualization WikiEd course, although the author isn't listed there. JoelleJay (talk) 17:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The topos and aerials say this was a rail spot: there are still a pair of crossovers at the location. Searching is complicated by seasonal references which I cannot identify with this spot and by a feature in the mountains oft referred to by works on mountaineering. There's also a bunch of mentions in locating other features, one of which passingly refers to this as a "town", but I generally don't take those seriously. The spot is now in the midst of Spokane's outer suburban sprawl, but this is a recent development; you don't have to go all that far back before the region is all farmland.

My apologies, leaving the edit summary blank was accidental. Deleting the article should be fine however, but I think it would be appropriate to merge more components of the Cerulean Studios article with the Trillian page, to give further context behind the company that created the software. Trillian seems to be the only product of the company with any real notability, so its probably for the best that the two remain on the same page.--AirportExpert (talk) 17:01, 14 June 2021 (UTC)AirportExpert[reply]
I guess I just wanted to be able to visualize the layout of the article independently, and transfer everything over to the redirect page, such as the infobox. The sandbox would've been a better use of that though I suppose, since I ended up not being able to finish and left the article only partially edited. Either way, lesson learned.--AirportExpert (talk) 19:06, 15 June 2021 (UTC)AirportExpert[reply]

Article about a song and music video, not adequately referenced as passing our notability criteria for either songs or web content. The notability claim on offer here is that it exists, but just being able to verify that a thing exists is not automatic grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- and when it comes to the sourcing, one of the three footnotes is the YouTube copy of the video itself, and another is a dead link that waybacked as a very short blurb on the proprietary blog of a defunct Jewish online dating service, which means two of the three footnotes aren't reliable or notability-supporting sources at all. And while the third footnote is an actual (albeit short) article in a real newspaper, that's a start but not in and of itself enough. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have a lot more than just one piece of reliable source coverage about it in real media. Bearcat (talk) 02:30, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Looks like an attempted promotion to drum up advertising revenues over at YouTube. In addition to the local Alabama newspaper article mentioned by the nominator, I also found this: [6].

Completely unreferenced article about a song, not making any strong claim to passage of WP:NSONGS.

Article about a viral video, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for web content. The notability claim on offer here is that the video exists, "referenced" to its own presence on YouTube -- but simply existing isn't the notability test per se, providing circular verification of its existence by citing it to itself doesn't help, and otherwise this just linkfarms a long, contextless stack of glancing namechecks of its existence in newspaper or magazine articles that aren't about it, which does not help to build notability at all. We've all seen it, certainly, but that doesn't make it notable in the absence of any reliable source coverage about it to establish its significance. Bearcat (talk) 02:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to I Will Survive#Other covers & popular culture as a flash-in-the-pan blasphemy about which one can't say much more than it happened, people were either enraged or amused, it got News of the Weird-style coverage, and then nobody cared until the next time it came up for deletion on WP. Well=known cover, yes, which is why I propose the merge, but I don't see how it's justified as a stand-alone article. Mangoe (talk) 03:01, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to I Will Survive#Other covers & popular culture per above. The AfDs from 2009 and 2010 seem to argue "cultural impact" and "lasting significance" but this viral video has been basically forgotten 11 years later [10]. Evaluation of the sources doesn't help its case either.
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
Overall the majority of the sources are passing mentions, and at best, just use the video as an example of the controversy around fair use law. That's not enough to justify a stand alone article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 15:38, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unreferenced article about a song, not making any strong claim to passage of WP:NSONGS. The only notability claim on offer here is that the song exists, which is not automatic grounds for a standalone Wikipedia article in and of itself -- NSONGS requires achievements like chart success, music awards and/or reliable source coverage and analysis about the significance of the song, and does not just indiscriminately ascribe "inherent" notability to every song that exists. Although claimed as the "sixth" single from his then-upcoming studio album Everythang's Corrupt, it does not appear in the final track listing of that album, so that claim isn't grounds for a redirect to the album either. Bearcat (talk) 01:20, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per nom. WP:BEFORE shows nothing that would qualify the song for a standalone article. Cannot find it on any notable billboards either. nearlyevil66505:49, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't fail WP:GNG Forbes reference is legitimate and every article is mostly made by a Forbes contributor no one can be a contributor the application process is very hard and you need to be accepted and your article needs to be approved by Forbes it's also made by a Senior Contributor. Esports Insider is not really a niche site it is one of the most well-known Esports News Outlets and it is not DTS it is Subnation Media which is the parent company of XTRA Gaming which means it is directly related to XTRA Gaming. You've just copied and pasted what you said on the talk page of Team Vanish and nominated both articles for deletion. I think XTRA Gaming's article should stay up since it's a very well-known North American Esports team and is ranking top 3 in Fortnite Esports in north america.

ESTNN is indeed a somewhat niche Esports News Website but is not 100% "niche" and is very well-known reputable esports news network you can find more information about it on Google also that is a additional reference and the article meets the general notability guidelines the article isn't 100% based on niche articles it only contains 1 which is an additional source and it's not like I added just the ESTNN news reference alone I've added that article just to support statements. I've also noticed you edited your message and added more stuff to it to make it look like a big deal which I think isn't really reasonable don't you think? I think you should've just replied with the updated message but anyways tell me what you think I think we should keep the article up, to me it seems like your just trying to take it down for no valid reason. AnonymousReality (talk) 18:58, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am not trying to remove the article for no good reason; I gave my reason above. I've written plenty of esports articles, enough to know that ESTNN is hardly reputable (I've seen plenty of errors in their works throughout the years). Forbes is iffy -- per WP:VG/RS: Articles written by Forbes contributors do not have the same editorial oversight and may not be reliable. Editors are encouraged to find alternatives to contributor pieces. Esports.gg is certainly not reliable. Even if Esports Insider is considered a reliable source, these four references are not enough to demonstrate notability. — Pbrks (talk) 04:21, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but the guy that wrote the forbes article isn't just a contributor he's well-known and he's a Senior Contributor, ESTNN is sort-of niche but the wikpedia article isn't based on non-reputable articles, Esports.gg is new but doesn't have teh best reputation butthey don't write on anything and everything, esports is very new to the community and is hardly accepted by anyone I wrote this article because XTRA has done plenty of accomplisments that I think are notable. Just letting you know Esports.gg Is very new and has been launched in late march so I agree about it not being very reliable. In my opinion Esports Insider and the Forbes article are both enough to demonstrate notability, i've seen a lot of articles with 1 forbes article and 1 other random article and never ever been deleted and if it was nominated for deletion they would keep it up. I'm a new Wikipedia writer and contributor and I'm trying to give & feed people information about Esports Teams & Organizations since I realise there's this stereotype where people don't agree and think Esports is stupid especially on Fortnite, Fortnite is a fairly new Game but is vey big but I haven't seen a single article about a Fortnite Esports Team. Fortnite is a game that's hard to get press and articles published by news outlets for Esports Teams and overall get written about. Like i've said XTRA Gaming is ranking top 3 on North America Fortnite Esports and is one of the most reputable Fortnite Esports team, they are also constantly trying to expand their rosters in different games. So, let's just get to a consensus and keep this article up. AnonymousReality (talk) 13:07, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
WT:VG/RS or WT:RSN. These discussions can take long, though, so they should not be covered within the scope of this AfD. From a first glance, none of three is likely to pass as all are "by gamers for gamers"-type of sites, not experienced journalists. IceWelder [✉] 06:07, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Sources are pretty iffy as discussed above. Even if the Forbes contributor is deemed reliable, one or two sources from the same person wouldn't be enough. If there were sources from publications listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#Esports I'd be more inclined to keep, but at the moment the article does not have the significant coverage required by GNG. The article can be incubated in the Draftspace and submitted when it is ready. Yeeno (talk) 🍁19:08, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet WP:ANYBIO, does not appear to meet standards for notability. I've checked the sources present and many sources on google and they amount to trivial mentions. While Conoco is certainly notable, it does not appear that Moran is on his own. The article was originally submitted and then draftified at Draft: Dan Moran for lack of encyclopedic tone and sources / notability, then recreated as a new article here by the same editor.

Nomination withdrawn: I'm convinced by the current "Keep" arguments, which include sources I did not see upon nomination. Seeing no need to drag this process out further, I seek to withdraw my nomination. Thanks to the other editors for their work in defending this article. A S U K I T E 04:08, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a 10,000 word article published in Fortune in 1939 that profiles Dan Moran's work at Continental Oil. The articles notes in the first paragraph:
Until the summer of 1928, when he was invited to 23 W all Street for lunch, Dan Moran had not given much though to the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. Born at Cygnet, Ohio, he had picked up cash as an office boy and as a telegraph operator, earned his way through the University of Dayton, and then had gone south. To Tulsa, where he saw the oil spout from the Glenn Pool strike, then to Port Arthur, where he signed up as an engineer for the Texas Co. From there he was sent down to Panama and to South America, and from South America he had trekked north again into Mexico and to the States. By the summer of '28 he had done a number of things that are not common practice in Manhattan or on Long Island. He had got good work out of a crew of jailbirds and peons at Tampico. He had spent seventeen days in a hurricane on an oil barge. He had helped repair the ravages of another hurricane, which, ripping through Port Arthur, had floated away the oil tanks of the Texas Co.'s refinery there like so many toy ships. He had built refineries, drilled for oil, and had put up ocean terminals at Charleston, at Savannah, Pensacola, Mobile, Key West, and in Cuba. And in the process he had learned something of men and something of the sweet-smelling stuff called crude.
The article further notes: "BEHIND those figures lie the work of the 5,000 men and the $125,000,000 worth of oil derricks, pipe lines, and properties that Dan Moran manages for $75,000 per year. And it is worth while inquiring into how he earns that salary, not only because he is a crack operator, but because Continental occupies a peculiar place in the oil industry." The article later notes:
On properties he kept in operation Moran insisted on strict economies. When he took over the company he was appalled by the unused equipment lying around refineries and oil wells. Turning junkman, he gathered up as much of this as possible, sent salesmen out on the road hawking it for what they could get. In one respect only was he lavish: from '31 to '34 he figures he spent some $1,500,000 in paint alone. changing many a dilapidated-looking derrick of the Marland Co. into a spruce operating unit.
The obituary notes: "Petroleum industry careerist Dan Moran, 59, who for nearly two decades headed the Continental Oil company, died April 3 in a Houston hospital. Rites were held in Houstin April 5 and burial was there." The article is an extensive obituary of Dan Moran.
"Dan Moran Dies in Hospital After Several Months' Illness" (pages 1 and 2). The Ponca City News. 1948-04-04. Archived from the original (pages 1 and 2) on 2021-06-20. Retrieved 2021-06-20 – via Newspapers.com.
The article is an extensive obituary for Dan Moran. The article notes: "Moran was born at Cygnet, Ohio, on May 31, 1888, one of the four sons of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Moran, who followed their father in the petroleum industry. ... Dan got his start in the oil industry at the age of [illegible] at which time he was messenger boy for the Buckeye Pipe Line company. Earning a bachelor of arts degree, Dan Moran was graduated from the University of Dayton, Ohio, in 1907, and later did graduate work at the Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Ohio."
The article notes: "Fate in the guise of ill health has forced the retirement of Dan Moran, for nearly 20 years president of Continental Oil company. In the retirement Ponca City loses a warm friend, Continental a great executive and the oil industry a forceful, fearless and intelligently aggressive leader. He along with a group of young men who came into the industry about the time of World War I placed it at the top among American business institutions and remained with it to see it become the premier world business."
Note to closer for soft deletion: This nomination has had limited participation and falls within the standards set for lack of quorum. There are no previous AfD discussions, undeletions, or current redirects and no previous PRODs have been located. This nomination may be eligible for soft deletion at the end of its 7-day listing.
Keep. While the current state of the article leaves much to be desired, sufficient coverage exists to satisfy WP:GNG. In addition to the detailed obituaries and Fortune profile listed above, Moran is the central figure in a 2 page story in Sidewalks of America (1954), excerpted from Then Came Oil: The Story of the Last Frontier (1936), and there are over 100 hits for Dan Moran in oil industry trade journals at the Internet Archive. An encyclopedia article doesn't need to be long to be complete, neutral, and well written: there are enough reliable, independent sources chronicling his life and career to make a decent article without invoking original research. --Animalparty!
