Non notable filmmaker and actor who doesn’t satisfy any criterion from either criteria. He lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them thus this is a major GNG fail.

I think that this one is probably a non-notable rail feature. This doesn't appear in Rennick's directory of Fulton Co. KY place names, and Rennick's comprehensive index includes Anna Lynne, but just says that it is a locale (geography)] without giving any details. Different topos show this place in different spot, but it is consistently a couple of buildings along the railroad. Searching in a couple county histories brings up nothing. Old rail directories indicate that this was on the railroad and had no post office, but provide no details. I cannot find significant coverage of this locale.

  • Delete per nominator. Fails WP:GNG. Chirota (talk) 23:32, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep! . This is a notable company. That it does not appear so much in tabloid papers for sensationalism is rather a proof of the serious nature of the company, which does not produce scandals for the gutter press. User:Stylez995 should rather have searched for REFs for the long list of notable projects where Edilon Sedra has contributed to, instead of simply deleting it. Keep it! --L.Willms (talk) 09:30, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment @L.Willms: I've noticed in the revision history that the major contributor to this article, User:Gertjanlaan, appeared to being an employee of the company (but failed to disclose their apparent paid edits, as required by WMFs terms of conditions). Based on their contribution history, they only contributed to Edilon Sedra article, and most of them were promotional, and required lots of cleanup. Even tough, the user is not active since 2015.
Aside from that, I've deleted most of the notable projects list because of lack of sources. I personally saw their products at tramway construction projects in Oslo, Norway but it was not mentioned by the company, nor by secondary sources. According to Edilon Sedra's website, they have more projects than listed on this article, including the Seattle light rail project in the U.S., but there's no secondary sources about that so far. I can help contributing further to this article, when I receive more information. --Stylez995 (talk) 12:03, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe that User:Gertjanlaan is or was an employee of the company, but then he/she was certainly not paid for it, and wrote it in his free time. If a company or person pays for Wikipedia articles, they pay a professional writer for it, not an employee who might versed in the technical details but not in advertisement speech. See e.g. the recent revelation during the leadership scandal of the DFB (Deutscher Fußballbund - German Football Association), where one was accused of using funds of the association to pay for embellishments of the Wikipedia-article on this individual. This is by far not the only case, it may even be the case for the majority of articles, as far as they refer to persons, natural and moral. This company Edilon Sedna sells only to large infrastructure companies and thus is hardly mentioned in the general press, but that does not take away from its notability. --L.Willms (talk) 13:21, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep I'm guessing few in this discussion live in the UK or are over the age of 40. Here in the UK Jennie Matthias is universally known. She was a BIG star in the 80s. Note this sentence "Jennie Belle Star was a fully-fledged pop star" in the following article which appeared in one of Britain's largest newspapers - The Independent is a major British paper.[1]. She has appeared on Top of the Pops at least 4 times in the UK. This is at least the American Equivalent of American bandstand. It would be an injustice not to include her contribution to girl powered music.

  • Keep RE: "I'm sure there are sources offline" It's seems alarming that this mountain of offline coverage seems to be deemed irrelevant. It's as if nothing is important prior to the internet. I question whether "notability" should be based solely on modern day digital presence or whether there should be some respect given toward those who paved the way for the rest of us. Jennie Matthias was not only the lead vocalist in the Belle Stars, but a black woman who overcame racism and extreme adversity. She grew up in group homes, experienced drug abuse and emerged as an important community figure who went on to feed thousands of homesless people - by whom she is loved and admired. Surely she is worthy of respect? Moppatt O'Smitty (talk) 04:48, 26 May 2021 (UTC)---This user has been blocked as a suspected sockpuppet Missvain (talk) 00:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your enthusiasm but you can only !vote one. If you can present offline sources in the article that cover her extensively - not the Belle Stars - then we would appreciate it. Missvain (talk) 20:11, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the Belle Stars. A lot of bad sources like YouTube, Discogs, Amazon and 45cat plus a blog site which should not be used. All sources must be reliable in article - if she does fail notability then a redirect to her former notable group (being the lead singer) is fine.

*Keep Jennie Belle Star in the wikiverse. Wikipedia catogories are being misapplied to pop and music culture, where their profile very much exists in popular TV, Radio and Tabloid formats plus various concert venues. The idea of deleting a high profile entertainer because they used those platforms is absurd and wrong, merely because they existed before the intranet.Conor MacCloed (talk) 08:47, 27 May 2021 (UTC)---This user has been blocked as a suspected sockpuppet Missvain (talk) 00:02, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And the subject already have enough sources from multiple news portal like Times Of India, Indulge Express, Kolkata Mail, News Track, Iwm Buzz, Eisomoy, The Tribune, Cinestaan, Bizasia etc. And the Film got selected and also won many awards, if you search on Google you can see. So the film meet WP:NFILM. As I am the creator of the article I will add those news links on the article so you guys can see those news articles. Finally all I want to say that the article should not be deleted. Bengal Boy (talk 15:17, 24 May 2021 (UTC) WP:SOCKSTRIKE per this Run n Fly (talk) 08:20, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

::@আফতাবুজ্জামান: the film got some award and also got DadaShaheb Phalke Award. And have much news coverage. So the article passes WP:NFILM. And if you talk about WP:RS then I would like to say, very few subject will be meet the criteria. So first of all see the news coverage if the coverage is looking like an advertisement or the coverage is looking like a promotional content then you can tag the subject for Afd. If the covers looks like an advertisement then you can say that the subject is not meeting the criteria. And one more thing, if you are tagging any article for afd atleast write on my talk page otherwise how I will be able to know whether the article is tagged for afd or not. You are here on wikipedia from 6 years. So atleast do something as an experience editor which will inspire us.

  • Delete — Per nom and SportingFlyer, i too do not see GNG being met or WP:SIGCOV fulfilled. Furthermore, when editors !vote a keep and make comments such as “they should be notable” “are notable” “obviously notable” or “there are enough sources establish notability” I believe they should be able to provide to the AFD the said sources that substantiates their claims and explain how the sources are eligible within the confines of GNG, Are the sources independent of the subject? Do the sources contain significant coverage? I say this generally and do not have any specific editor in mind whilst typing this. Celestina007 (talk) 15:26, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is really hard to research. At least one source is useless because it doesn't clarify whether it is talking about the town or township. Ironically, in contrast to the easier-to-research ones it turns out to be an actual populated town. It's the reason that the Township exists, as it turns out from the history books and some footnotes to the Census of Iowa for 1880 at the Internet Archive that I found it originally it was a major town in Audubon county, back when had just the Exira, Oakfield, and Audubon townships.

    The 1880 Lippincott's Gazetteer matched an Oakfield post-office in an Oakfield Township … in Wisconsin: i.e. Oakfield, Wisconsin and Oakfield (town), Wisconsin. But a few entries above on the same page, not matched, it does indeed have the one in Iowa, and calls it a "post-village", which means that it was more than just someone's farmhouse. (It uses "post-township" and "post-hamlet" similarly.)

    The 1929 Annals of Iowa has this in its "Abandoned Towns of Iowa" listing on page 443. ("In southwest part of section 29, Exira Township. It was platted about 1855, soon had mills, stores and was a thriving town until 1868 […]")

    Lippincott's goes on to say that it is on the Nishnabatona River (which I presume to be a mis-spelling of Nishnabotna River) and has "2 stores and a flour-mill". Andrews's 1915 History of Audubon County, Iowa at the Internet Archive has a fairly extensive history of the town on page 288, with further stuff on pages 32, 54 (where it explains how it was eclipsed by Brayton, Iowa in 1871), and elsewhere. Looking through the History there seems to be enough from that alone to do an article. So it's not an "unincorporated community", but a village, in fact a town per the Andrews History, that came and went in the 19th century and is in at least one history book in fair depth.

    This one is actually fixable. Uncle G (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep; I AM THE LORAX, I SPEAK FOR THE TREES... uh.. wait, I mean, I speak for the former populated places of rural Iowa. I speak for the disappeared towns that have no tongues! Except in tons of reliable sources if you look. Come on, Mangoe, yesterday it was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poplar, Iowa which is actually part of a rural historic district, today I find this one. I'm happy to rely on you for only-ever-was California railroad sidings in the desert, you do great work with those, but we shouldn't have to scurry around just because google maps shows this is a cornfield in 2021. I know some folks get disgruntled that these mass stubs were created years ago, but we can't fix that except over time, if it really is a bad thing. For Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa has a great resource of old newspapers here. cheers to all.--Milowent • hasspoken 19:08, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy enough to withdraw this one, given some actual narrative history of a town to go from. That said, there are still lots of places which don't have such info, and for which there isn't evidence that they genuinely were ever towns. I don't see a need for these articles to exist until they do have such documentation written into them, and the history thus far is that it's pretty rare for people to put the effort in until they are put up for deletion. If you want to take over for me in sorting through the Iowan cases, I'll gladly move on to another state. But someone needs to do the work. Mangoe (talk) 04:14, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly not a river, maybe a stream. Regardless, it does not pass WP:GNG because sources do not exist. I also question the factual accuracy of the article since it claims that the "river" is inhabited by peacocks which are not native to Austria. Rusf10 (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, wholly unsourced for 10+ years (and I couldn't find anything useful in minutes). Note that it interwikilinks to de:Schintertalbach, and the talk page there indicates that the thing (whatever it is called) exists, but does not indicate any GNG notability. If we're not even sure about the name, nuking it is the only way to be sure. —Kusma (t·c) 16:38, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I've added sources that at least show that you can be shure about the name. --Cyfal (talk) 13:24, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your sources do not establish notability. You added three. The first two were just Google Maps. The third one has only one paragraph that mentions the brook (I think that's what this is). The translation reads Below the municipal garbage dump in Innsbruck, the Aldranser Bach flows into the Inn on the right bank. It takes up the Lanser Bach in its middle course. The latter was not re-examined in 1967 and 1968 because its quality status was determined separately in October 1962. In the meantime, the situation has certainly not improved due to the rapidly growing population density in the catchment area. The findings showed that both streams above the village settlements are practically pure, little influenced surface waters (quality classes I and I-II), but below these settlements have already exceeded the permissible pollution level (quality class III), and that even outside the summer tourist season. So, we know it exists and has poor water quality due the fact it is next to a municipal garbage dump (something you didn't even bother to mention in the article when you added the source), but verifiability does not equal notability.--Rusf10 (talk) 15:13, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My aim was answering Kusma's worries that a river with that name does not exist. And the peacocks seem to live in the park of Ambrass Castle, see here. --Cyfal (talk) 20:33, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neither Kusma or I dispute that it exists. What we dispute is: 1. It's a river. Clearly, it is either some type of stream, brook, or creek. 2. That it is notable enough to have an article.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:44, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It is obviously a (small) river, please read the beginning of the river article: "Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill." Kusma disputed the name of this small river, not the existence, therefore my adding of sources. --Cyfal (talk) 21:37, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While this clearly passes WP:V the hurdle is WP:GNG nothing in either the English or German article suggest it will pass notability.

  • Redirect, possibly merge to Maya Forstater v Centre for Global Development. BLP1E. I'm not seeing any coverage not related to the case. Sandstein 08:25, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Always keen to learn, but here is my understanding:
    Her media coverage almost always mentions the case, and indeed much is about the case, but some coverage is about her broader campaigning on sex-based rights. For instance, the Sunday Times article on May 9 concerned a letter she has coordinated calling into the role of Stonewall in public life. Is that article purely about the court case? No, it's part of her broader campaigning, which is inappropriate to cover in an article devoted to the court case.
    In any case, to quote WP:BLP1E again, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Is this case highly significant? I think so based on a high degree of controversy. Forstater's role is large one, and her notability goes beyond it, hence I conclude we should keep the page.

The result was no consensus. There appears to be a general consensus that the topic itself is worthy of mention somewhere in the encyclopedia. Beyond that, not much consensus—after three relists—about how to proceed. The editors who argue that it was notable at some point don't really seem to have established a GNG-based case for why, though a suitable merge target was not identified. All this is to say that an editor (or editors) are welcome to consider merge targets in the future and probably could boldly just do it and redirect the article from there. But there's not a consensus to delete, so I think this AFD has reached the end of the line. Go Phightins! 20:43, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The free of charge Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT) that was specifically targeted to students and job seekers was discontinued in 2013. There is no reference to it at all on the Bloomberg website any more, nor anywhere else prior to 2013. As the article says, BAT has been replaced by a Bloomberg Professional Market Concepts training course which costs hundreds of dollars and is not targeted to students nor given on college campuses.

  • Comment: Just because the test is defunct does not mean the article should be deleted. Notability is not temporary: once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage. The IHE source definitely constitutes significant coverage. I haven't been able to find a second significant source for GNG, but am not totally confident yet that one doesn't exist. Note to others looking for coverage: the test has been written under two names: Bloomberg Aptitude Test and Bloomberg Assessment Test. MarginalCost (talk) 03:56, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Surely we can merge this somewhere. It is clearly noteworthy, if not independently notable. As this is the product of a larger "Bloomberg Institute", which redirects to this article, perhaps move the article to that title and add information on the Institute (which does appear to return some Google Books hits. BD2412 T 20:21, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@BD2412: can you give some examples? I looked at several of the first results (both Google books and elsewhere), and just saw citations of the institute's work without coverage of the institute itself, false positives (including authors with the last name Bloomberg, as well as an unrelated child psycholofy office in Illinois), and brief mentions – but no significant coverage of the institute itself. MarginalCost (talk) 03:34, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If not refactored, I would still think that this could be merged somewhere. There is obviously some higher level of abstraction that is notable. BD2412 T 03:50, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I do not see any clear significance of this event. Unfortunately, every killing does not warrant its own article. While this is arguably terrorism, I think it just amounts to a crime which resulted in the death of one person. There are undertones that the PKK may have been involved, but this appears more like an unfounded accusation which did not lead to any real action. Unless someone can show there is greater significance here, I have to vote delete. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 16:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Insignificant event. It didn't get in-depth coverage and it's not notable per WP:LASTING. Ahmetlii (talk) 20:12, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Insignificant event. It didn't get in-depth coverage and it's not notable per.." - This is not accurate. If you simply Google "Serap Eser" or specifically image search "Serap Eser" you will find so much publicity, news articles on the story, websites using pictures of her face. In fact looking at the "News" sections of Google the last time this was mentioned was in 2020 November by Turkey's state run news agency. This story is very well known in Turkey.

I think it just amounts to a crime which resulted in the death of one person. Two other Istanbul attacks that resulted in the death of one person:

TataofTata (talk) 21:39, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This event is still spoken about till this day, it was a supposed terrorist attack in Istanbul in 2009, as written it shows how later the former Interior Minister of Turkey stated that the turkish secret agency MIT was responsible of this. This event is used to accuse the PKK of being a terrorist organisation still to this day, while there is rumours the family has been silenced and kids who were in the area accused and wrongfully jailed. If you are unawares of what is going on, don't remove it, research it or stay out of the topic completely. This was a false flag operation and needs the story told. Whether one person died or 1000, it still matters, considering it was not a normal death or an accident, or a normal crime. People looking to research this story may find this page useful.--TataofTata (talk) 17:38, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep passes WP:GNG based on the sources although some of the references have a promotional tone this could be a cultural attribute. Purosinaloense T/K 11:43, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very weak keep at best. Delete or dratify at worst. If the Hype, Newsbreak, Source, and Flipboard sources are reliable, then I'm stating Weak keep because they're brief and only talk about specific music videos and songs, which is not necessarily SIGCOV of the rapper himself. I would reject the Deezer and Genius examples because they're user-generated and self-published, making them unusable per WP:UCG. However, this is yet another one of those artists where most of the coverage is in the form of pieces about specific recently-released songs and interviews, which are from independent publications and magazines that look professional but have been accused by users of this encyclopedia of being PR or accepting paid pieces. It's definitely true publications of all industries, not just the music press, are just basically promotional tools (I'd argue the NYTimes and the LATimes are promo press for works of industries from their respective places, and Jacobin, Reason.com, The Nation, and Breibart are promo tools for political causes), and it sickens me to know that, but claims that specific articles are PR or "blackhat SEO" are loaded and need darn good evidence.
  • The most common evidence I've seen is that there are fiverr pages stating they can help you get an interview or piece on one of many major publications. Thus, any piece from the sources listed on those pages are unreliable because the publications don't state they're accepting paid pieces. However, we don't know whether those are legit or just scammers using bot ratings to look like credible people, thus we don't know if even sources like HipHopDX and the Source use paid and PR pieces. There's also people claiming themselves to be agents on the internet promising artists gigs at notable venues or a filmmaker their work submitted at Sundance, but does that mean Sundance and notable venues are no-longer reputable institutions? No, because it's likely people like that are lying, and there's a possibility those Fiverr pieces are doing the same. I imagine a lot of music sources, including even the most-respected ones like Pitchfork and NME, use PR agents and get money from labels to promote artists with positive reviews of albums and interviews, but I got nothing to prove that. 👨x🐱 (talk) 20:56, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The sources being used here are not even high quality paid sources, they're flat out black hat SEO and none of them are reliable and have been extensively discussed at WP:RSN and through several AFDs. We do know that Newsbreak isn't an RS and Flipboard because they are user generated and user hosted. YODADICAE👽 20:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the sources here are probably not that good, but I find the Kazi mag description of "appears to be a fan blog/not subject to meaningful editorial oversight" to be odd. In my view, the professional layout and design, plus it being constantly updating and having multiple writers doesn't necessarily scream fan site to me. However, the website doesn't make clear it's staff or other info about the publication itself, so that's a valid concern. 👨x🐱 (talk) 23:56, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I also agree that some of the sources are not that good as compared to coverage other musicians get especially from developed countries like the US, UK, Canada, etc. As he hails from an African country where there is little to no coverage online to a large amount of population getting this much coverage is quite tough. Although, I am not sure that if he qualifies for GNG or not but he surely qualifies for WP:NMUSIC because his some songs like "I Ain't Impressed received a good amount of attention in Nigeria and was featured on BET JAMS in 2020 and was also covered in different music websites like Hiphop-Paradise, The Source, Essentially Pop, Genius, The Hype Magazine, Hollywood Heat, Vents Magazine, Kazi Magazine. Skope Mag and others which can surely make him qualify for WP:MUSIC. Aboussta (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
YODADICAE👽 already went over why those sources were unreliable. See the table. 👨x🐱 (talk) 00:36, 21 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have already followed the table and didn't added those sources which were marked crossed there. I only showed those sources which shows that his songs like I ain't impressed received significant coverage. As per WP:NMUSIC criteria's. He qualifies WP:NMUSIC Criteria #12 which states that subject has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network. He was featured in BET Jams which is an American pay television network controlled by BET Networks and owned by ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks. The channel features hip-hop and urban contemporary music videos. The network, formerly known as MTV Jams, was rebranded under the BET banner on October 5, 2015. His music video "I Ain't Impressed" was featured on BET JAMS in 2020 which meets this criteria and clearly qualifies him for WP:NMUSIC. Aboussta (talk)

  • Weak keep It's a shame to lose televisual history when there are no accessible online sources for 1970s media. I spent the day at State Library Victoria and filled in some details referenced to two TV reference books by Albert Moran, and there were two fairly substantial articles in The Age about the "Send Him On His Way Rejoicing" and "We Should Have Had a Uniform" episodes. The IMDb broadcast dates do appear to be wrong, as Canberra Times TV guide listings give June to July 1975 airdates but IMDb says September to October. Regarding the writers and directors, most of them are now referenced, and I believe those that aren't can be sourced to Australian Film & TV Companion by Tony Harrison—there is supposedly a copy at SLV which I couldn't find, but there is also one in the VCA library which I will check out in the next two days. --Canley (talk) 08:50, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was first brought to my attention here and I decided to take a look and was baffled that this article has been on mainspace for three years now. The article is an WP:ADMASQ and invariably an undisclosed COI is present. Furthermore, the subject of the article doesn’t fulfill any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO nor do they satisfy GNG or BASIC. Lastly, a review of all the sources used in the article show they are very much unreliable. In the reference section a source claimed that the subject of the article had won an award, yes, this is true, however not only is the award show and the award itself not notable, the “AFOH” award show itself has a negative reputation as they issue awards for a fee. This is arguably one of the best WP:ADMASQ's I’ve seen in my five years of editing. Celestina007 (talk) 13:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Until moments ago this singer also had an album article at Believe (Gyidi EP). It had five sources, four of which were dead and the remainder was probably a paid press release. I searched for some reviews of the album and found just a couple that looked quite suspicious and were probably also paid PR. I just redirected the album to the singer's page so it would not fall through the cracks as we discuss the singer. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:25, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to expand a lot of these Spanish footballer stubs recently but Villagrasa just doesn't seem to have any significant coverage that could be used. The Marca source in the article is only a trivial mention. I found a passing mention in a blog, another passing mention in Marca, a match report that mentions her in Futbol Balear and very little else. A search of Spanish sources comes up with nothing other than social media, Wikipedia mirrors and a couple of database websites. None of this contributes towards meeting WP:GNG, which is the minimum requirement. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:36, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I have not taken a deep enough dive looking for sources myself to comment on notability, but I have had to remove copyright volations from the article (and revdeleted the history of course) – wholesale copy-pastes, and some close paraphrasing. For the remaining text, I was unable to find a source of copying, but it nevertheless has multiple hallmarks of infringement. Coupling this with the copying I did find, leads me to the conclusion that the remaining text is likely a copyright violation as well. I cannot be sure, but that where-there's-smoke-there's-likely-fire probability analysis is the risk always run when one engages in this conduct.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:18, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's perfectly obvious from the topos and aerials that this was a farm, and indeed a book on B&Bs and the like states that "DeHaven Valley Farm was built in the 1870s on a hillside overlooking both the dramatic Mendocino County coast[.]" Google Streetview helpfully shows the same name on the mailbox. There are lots of hits for the public beach on the opposite site of the road, and a lot of stray hits on the name (with or without the space), but all evidence is that this was never a notable settlement.

  • Speedy Keep An AfD about him less than four months ago was closed as a clear keep.

Edwardx (talk) 10:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
wp:news, he only got coverage due to an election he lost (as I said), thus he may fail wp:n as he is really only notable for one event (the election).Slatersteven (talk) 10:30, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NTEMP. We had a recent AfD and agreed he was notable. An article topic that was once notable cannot become not notable. There are multiple citations in the article that predate Rose's mayoral candidacy. The 'keep' decision last time reflected that; we wouldn't have kept the article just because of the mayoral stuff because WP:NPOL. Bondegezou (talk) 10:39, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you take away all the mayoral converge, how much is left that is in-depth about him?Slatersteven (talk) 10:47, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Excluding the mayoral coverage, there is a long, in depth piece about Rose in Vice; the Salon and Press Gazette pieces are not primarily about Rose, but do contain significant coverage of Rose. The Telegraph, CNBC and News-24.fr pieces contain significant coverage of his channel London Real and mention Rose. Bondegezou (talk) 10:58, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So then its his channel that is notable, not him. He is only really notable as a scammer (which we do not even appear to mention) so there is a degree of wp:puffery going on. Slatersteven (talk) 11:06, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As I said in the prior AfD, some coverage focuses more on London Real, so I did wonder if it was better to have an article on that than on Rose. But I think, combined, it makes sense to have a Rose article on his actions (Vice), London Real stuff (including the Icke interview - Press Gazette/Salon/Telegraph/CNBC/News-24.fr) and his mayoral candidacy.

    • I oppose the merged of unsourced content to another article. If you actually did a BEFORE search (as in before you copied and pasted your standard "failed BEFORE" vote), you would find no sources for the content of this article. At less than a mile long, this is just too insignificant to be mentioned in the Inn River article.

  • Keep Only objectionable content should be removed, not the entire article. Agreed that almost all references show a weak claim that he was the first and only brand ambassador (Dutee Chand is another. There are probably more in Category:LGBT_people_from_India). But that doesn't trivialize his film career, being one queer ambassador from India, and his activism. The article can be smaller, less fluffy, improved but doesn't need to be deleted.

    When to not use deletion process? Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing.

    I'll improve it if it's kept since it doesn't seem beyond repair. Doing it right now might just waste the efforts. AdithyaKL (talk) 16:11, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey AdithyaKL, I don't see a significant film career where his work is being noted by reliable independent sources. I don't think any of the film would even qualify WP:NFILM. Activism? Where? The only line that talks about activism is He is a LGBT rights activist and was also a part of the organizing team of Gujarat's first ever pride march. He also spearheaded Gujarat's third and Baroda's first LGBT pride march which is a generic statement and doesn't seem to be a substantial contribution to activism. I think I will also trim it to remove more vanity sources, information that's not about him and then evaluate. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 06:01, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • After cleaning up, only trivial mentions. The only notable film that he was a part of was My Son is Gay - that he left. So there are no claims of notability via WP:NACTOR or filmmaker. Coming to the ambassador of Moovz thing, multiple articles basically saying same thing indicates Churnalism. Big Boss source has no credit to any staff writer [17] and is speculation, so no points there either. Calling him activist simply discredits so many real activists that have fought hard for the LGBTQ community in India which is sad. Interestingly, two DNA articles that are cited here are also written by same journalist (Not that they discuss him in-depth. One has a passing mention of his film and in other, someone else talks about the subject in double quotes - so no independence). Most of the remaining sources left are by Gaylaxy which is a niche LGBTQ website. Nomadicghumakkad (talk) 06:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment : Hello. I added many references and sources today. Alas, someone has reverted everything which I spent the whole day doing.

Please note that I wrote the first versions of this article in 2009. At the end of that year most of what you have removed recently was already in the article. Please look at and compare the versions from the end of 2009. It was not added, as you believe, from any of his obituaries. There's nothing new in them what so ever. I hope you will understand this: Richard Lloyd was a major figure in church and cathedral music over the last 60 years or so. To delete the article would be somewhat close to removing one about Bach or Mozart. His music has been sung and recorded everywhere over the last decades. Musicians all around the world will not accept the deleting of this article. If there is anything else I can add or change in the article please do let me now. I too am a professional musician and know how important this article for the world of music is. Many thanks! Edmund — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebrownless (talk • contribs) 19:34, 15 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am more than happy for that to be the case, but there are still no references pre-death that verify or even indicate that is true. Primefac (talk) 00:19, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As soon as the complete article on Richard Lloyd is reloaded I will be able to add the following important reference: There is an article about Richard Lloyd's life in The Oxford Dictionary of Music - (6 ed. 2013). It confirms all information about him as a musician. If he weren't very important in the world of music he wouldn't be in this book. Ebrownless (talk) 16:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also: The book which I quoted in the original article (The Organists and Organs of Hereford Cathedral) also confirms everything pre-death about Richard Lloyd. It was published in 1976.Ebrownless (talk) 16:19, 16 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment : Ebrownless I checked what you had added. I think you had only used one citation and most content was uncited. If you can maybe just add a bit of info with what has citations, I will review and place a vote. Most important is to add as many good citations as you can find to show notability, even if its a book. Again, do not add any content that is uncited. Also, do you have a Conflict of Interest with this person? why are you interested in this person. If you are somehow related or working for them, you need to disclose it.Lesliechin1 (talk) 22:30, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is a long-standing, stable article, with good sources. In late April, Lloyd died. The stable version of the article prior to this is here (9 April 2021), and the article had good biographical information, albeit, not as well sourced as it might have been. His death actually prompted the provision of source citation, improving the article. Some time later, edits were made removing almost all that information; then an AfD made based largely on absence (i.e. that very recent removal) of sourced biographical information! If the AfD discussion is to continue it should be based on the significant article (e.g. 9 April 2021 linked above, and since reliably sourced), not on its interim, short-term denuded form. Feline Hymnic (talk) 16:08, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Feline, thank you for your latest work on the article. My version from May 21st is more up to date - I had added new recordings and many citations etc. I have spent the past week intensively researching the life of RHL and will now add some more information and citations to your latest version. Richard Lloyd was primarily a composer of choral music - that is what he is so well known for. I will therefore add again the list of his choral music. Ebrownless (talk) 16:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. My chief concern was that the AfD appeared to be based on a massively denuded form of the article, thus was based on a false premise. So my overarching "big picture" aim was to restore some reasonably recent, stable form of it. My apologies if that restoration omitted some of the "fine brush-stroke" material you had added in the notability/AfD maelstrom! Feline Hymnic (talk) 16:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! No problem - I understand. I have now finished making all my additions and corrections. I really hope that the article will now be permanent. Ebrownless (talk) 20:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm beginning to understand what the problems are here. 1 I wrote the original article on Richard Lloyd with few references because the book which I used - an official publication by Hereford Cathedral in England - had his biography in it up until his retirement. I have now added many more citations about him and I am sure this will be enough. This book from 1976 has been republished in 1988 and 2005. There are many internet pages about Richard Lloyd - they have exactly the same information: whether from the book published by Hereford Cathedral or, as so often happens, very many are linked to the article on Lloyd at Wikipedia. Richard Lloyd is now in several international encyclopedias of music. The book was written by two very well-known and important musicians: https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Envato&lang=en&q=Watkins_Shaw https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Envato&lang=en&q=Roy_Massey_(organist) 2 Then comes the issue with Lloyd's compositions. I added the list of compositions which was proof-read by Richard Lloyd himself: There are the names of the compositions and the well-known British publishers of all his many published works. 3 If you look at the lists of compositions of most famous composers most of them do not have references. Why this is necessary just for Richard Lloyd I really don't know. If I, eg., were to add references now to all of Franz Schuberts songs it would take 636 references. This would be the same for all composers - even the most famous - it would simply take up far too much space and clutter up each article with far too much unnecessary information. However, if there is a Wikipedia article for any very famous composition one can rightly add a link to that page. 4 When I added references to Lloyd's works recently I simply added one link to a search at each publisher for works of Richard Lloyd. If anyone here were to click on these links you would find all Lloyds works which are now available at that publisher. Please try clicking on the first reference to his choral music: you will instantly find 35 pieces by Lloyd. I could have added a reference for each work and there would be hundreds of references - most of them repeating themselves. Right now there is simply one link per publisher and that makes everything clear and simple. Do you want me to add a few hundred footnotes to the page of Richard Lloyd now? It will be a mess and the list of references will be several metres long.Ebrownless (talk) 12:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ebrownless: The topic here is whether or not to delete the entire article. That should be the main concern. To defend the article's very existence, the primary need is a good biography section to establish his notability with reliable sources. I think it is going to be harder to defend the inclusion an entire catalogue of absolutely everything he has ever written; we should appreciate that this is a secondary issue. Possible models for the "look and feel" of the article might be Jean Langlais, Harrison Oxley or Nicholas Danby (I pick those at random). They are, at heart, about the biography with a few selected works and recordings. I would suggest keeping focus on: (1) biography (2) a small number of works and recordings that meet "notability". Losing the catalogue is relatively unimportant compared to losing the entire article. Feline Hymnic (talk) 13:00, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Obituary in the Daily Telegraph. An obituary in a major national newspaper has always been considered to meet our notability requirements. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:23, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep : The movie was released 20 years ago and starred Mohanlal, who is probably the biggest actor in Malayalam cinema. It is impossible to find reviews that are online now, though considering the star cast and crew, it is evident that the movie was reviewed in all mainstream publications. I was able to find a review which is still online from Sify - [30]. There is also an online version of the printed matter detailing the controversies in the movie and its huge financial loss from Mathrubhumi - [31]. There are also multiple mentions of the movie in multiple Rediff articles before its release - [32], [33]. The movie's failure has also been mentioned in other articles about the star actor - [34], [35] and in a zillion articles about Pranav Mohanlal which can be found by a casual search. Merits a keep.

As documented below, vi:Lê Văn Cho's wartime experiences have enough coverage by prominent sources to make him "notable" per guidelines in WP:NBIO. -Darouet (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (changed to Weak Delete, see discussion below) - Le Van Cho (vi:Lê Văn Cho) is a minor figure in the Vietnam War, but his appearance in the Burns documentary resulted in descriptions of his combat and experiences in multiple media sources, including the PBS documentary itself [36], the Alfred A. Knopf book based on the documentary [37], and minor references in The Ellsworth American newspaper [38], and a far-left socialist UK newspaper the Socialist Worker [39]. One of Van Cho's experiences during the war is described in a 1988 publication [40] by the Dong Nai publishing house in Vietnam [41]. While Lê Văn Cho is a minor figure of the Vietnam War from an American perspective, his being featured in a major documentary has led to coverage in a number of prominent sources. This coverage meets the requirements of WP:NBIO, that

the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded" within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life.

On a philosophical level, we also need to take WP:WORLDVIEW into account. Much of our Vietnam War content on Wikipedia represents American or anglophone viewpoints and experiences. This is a necessary artifact of more extensive anglophone media interest in and contact with American or Australian participants in the war. Abiding by WP:NBIO directives, we can work to make sure Vietnamese experiences described in reliable sources are also represented on Wikipedia, and should do so by maintaining this short biography. -Darouet (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment there isn't SIGCOV of him and certainly nothing that establishes that he is "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". In relation to your worldview comments, they still need to have SIGCOV whether that is in English, Vietnamese or another language and again he doesn't meet that minimum requirement. Mztourist (talk) 02:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • re: certainly nothing that establishes that he is "worthy of notice" or "note" - the sources I linked concluded he was worthy of notice, and that’s why they interviewed him extensively, and then wrote about him. His wartime experiences are “remarkable” and that is why they are remarked upon by sources. -Darouet (talk) 04:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • The sources are limited in scope and largely repetitive and his wartime experiences are WP:MILL for a PAVN soldier. Mztourist (talk) 08:55, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • I like the WP:MILL essay. It explains that multiple high-quality maps document the existence of millions of roads on earth, the vast majority of which don't require Wikipedia articles to describe them. I agree with that.
Here, the equivalent would be the registers listing the millions of people who served in the armed forces and/or died during this conflict. Those people are often (not always) mentioned somewhere in reliable documents, and they shouldn't have articles written about them. But of those millions of people, very few have their experiences described in detail by a Ken Burns documentary, or by a book that's closely related to the documentary. That documentation in very prominent sources, and the resulting passing references in a few others, passes WP:GNG and WP:NBIO, as I've documented above. -Darouet (talk) 18:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Being an interviewee in a Ken Burns documentary doesn't make a person notable, not without SIGCOV in multiple RS, which Le Van Cho doesn't have. All this page says is he was a PAVN soldier who served near the DMZ and took part in the 1968 battle of Quang Tri, which is completely run of the mill for a PAVN soldier during the war. Mztourist (talk) 03:21, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You edit a lot on military history topics, which is great. But as a result of your expertise in the area, something that's fascinating and quite striking to other people is obvious to you. Lê Văn Cho's military experiences were prominently featured in that documentary [42], and as a consequence also in a book [43] by Alfred A. Knopf, and mentions in a few other places [44][45]. I know everything he says seems obvious to you, but it's not to other people, and this coverage definitely meets the bar for WP:NBIO. -Darouet (talk) 03:32, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One passing mention in the book. Not a good sign. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:46, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Clarityfiend and Mztourist: I've gone back to the Knopf book and Clarityfiend is correct: the book only mentions Van Cho in passing one time. Furthermore, I've gone back to the documentary, and as far as I can tell, Van Cho is mentioned only briefly twice, in two episodes (based on a transcript search). This is contrary to my recollection but I must have been wrong. I'm modifying my vote to a "weak delete." It is painful to destroy something you've brought into the world but you both have convinced me — an inclusionist! — that coverage is minimal. I am not voting for a full "delete" since the assemblage of sources does make a case for keeping the article, demonstrating that Van Cho's experiences are notable. -Darouet (talk) 05:37, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    • As an assumedly-populated unincorporated community, might it not meet "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." - or are unincorporated communities not legally recognized? BilledMammal (talk) 03:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • There's some lengthy backstory to this sort of nomination. Essentially, a handful of editors created thousands of these claiming "unincorporated communities" based on a single database known as GNIS, which is largely unreliable, and the "unincorporated community" phrasing in this case is likely false. Benwood Junction seems to have been a railroad junction/railroad work yard, not a community. Hog Farm Talk 03:34, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sole source here is a GNIS record. The especial lie of the "unincorporated community" claim this time around is that the code given in the GNIS record is for a place that is located within an incorporated place, i.e. Benwood in this case. This is a railway junction, with a yard (as stated by lots of things such as Railfan and Railroad magazine), at Benwood. Anything about the railways in Benwood, West Virginia, such as the explanation of the loop from ISBN 9781439619377, goes in that article or in the article on whichever is appropriate of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad or North Western Virginia Railroad. The single sentence in this article is a falsehood not even supported by its single source. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 16:04, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • The GNIS record, the sole source here, itself comes from a 1906 map, it says. A 1920 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers map in The Ohio River has a Wilson Station on the railway on the east side of the river. Gannet's 1904 A Gazetteer of West Virginia has seven different Wilsons, a Wilsonburg, a Wilsondale, a Wilsonia, and a Wilson Knob, none of them even in the right county. The 1902 History of Wheeling City and Ohio County, West Virginia has too many people named Wilson to be useful. The same with Rice's and Brown's 1993 West Virginia: A History. Other than a railway station name, I have found nothing. Uncle G (talk) 15:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, fails WP:GNG policy. The minimal current sourcing of the topic is WP:ROUTINE of frequent opponents. Examples of non-routine coverage might include RS articles which list the most memorable games in a rivalry, reference the current all-time W-L record or winning/losing streaks in the rivalry, include player and coach quotes about the rivalry, and similar expansive/specific coverage beyond a trivial mention. UW Dawgs (talk) 01:21, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning to keep. The series has a long history dating to 1900 and has been contested 58 times. It is evenly split and features Power Five programs from bordering states. The teams also played each other as the last game of the season for several years. These are factors that can contribute to a rivalry. (1) This article ("Where Does NC State Rate as a South Carolina Rival?") presents a reasoned argument that it constitutes at least a secondary rivalry. See also (2) here and (3) here for some in-depth analyses of the series. There are also references to the series as a rivalry in mainstream media outlets. E.g., (4) Sports Illustrated here ("The University of South Carolina and North Carolina State University will renew their rivalry on the gridiron during the 2030 and 2031 football seasons."), (5) the Associated Press here ("ending a long-standing rivalry with 25 wins apiece ...In a football rivalry that began in 1900 and ended Saturday, North Carolina State’s win brought the series with South Carolina to a 25-25-4 deadlock."), (6) WIS (TV) here ("South Carolina and North Carolina State will square off renewing their storied rivalry with a pair of games to be played in 2030 and 2031."), and (iv) News Break here ("South Carolina football: Gamecocks and Tar Heels renew rivalry"). Cbl62 (talk) 01:24, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think any of those evidence an actual rivalry. As we know from other AfD discussions, many American journalists will use the term rivalry to describe two teams playing each other in passing as opposed to describing an actual rivalry match, and none of those sources do anything to make me think these two teams treat each other as a rivalry match - all of them use the word in passing, and don't really go any further. The SI article was provided by South Carolina, the AP article is more about how the teams will move conferences after the game, and the Newsbreak article talks about a different university together (North Carolina) which also doesn't appear to be a rivalry. We need something more than a journalistic turn of phrase to get this past WP:SYNTH. SportingFlyer T·C 09:42, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quite right on News Break. But others (including Sports Illustrated, Associated Press, and The Post and Courier) are mainstream media outlets, and the first three items do go into significant depth. As I said, I lean "keep" but this is one that could reasonably go either way. Cbl62 (talk) 16:20, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
