No evidence of any notability. Any significance seems to centre around a single garment that was popular during the Covid pandemic. Searches reveal very little of worth about the article subject, but more about the garment. Sources are very weak. Fails WP:GNGVelellaVelella Talk 21:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Easily meets notability guidelines. Widespread coverage for years in major news sources. Hard to understand the deletion rationale. Did the nominator make an effort to find sources before nominating? Thriley (talk) 22:05, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: A quick Google search in the news sections shows a decent amount of coverage about the dress the business made, but not really the business itself. My recommended action would be to assess the nap dress's notability first, since that's what this article seems to hinge on for its validation of existence. If the dress can be deemed notable enough, then it could be included in a relevant section of, I dunno... 2020s in fashion? If the dress isn't notable, then the article about the business itself doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Sirocco745 (talk) 03:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Can you explain more on your claim that the fashion store/brand is lacking in notability? While there is certainly a ton of news coverage of their Nap Dress product that made them big in 2020, there also continues to be significant coverage of them since, with that coverage focusing on what the company has expanded into beyond just that product, including plenty of news covering their physical expansion over the years as well. Some examples:
I'm seeing extended and ongoing coverage showcasing their notability as a store, fairly consistently having articles about them in both major newspapers and fashion and business magazines. If anything, the coverage has been increasing in the past two years as compared to earlier. SilverserenC04:16, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep With recent coverage in Fast Company, Forbes, and other business publications, it seems to have continuing notability, being more than just a flash in the pan. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:49, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On what do you base the claim that she had a significant role in Aanch? The only secondary and independent source in that article (a review of the film) doesn't even mention her. In OMG, her role was not insignificant, but also not a major role. --bonadeacontributionstalk06:56, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Again, WP:NACTOR does not mean someone is inherently notable. It means that coverage is likely to exist if they meet one of those conditions. The sources still need to be present and unfortunately they are not in this case. The TOI reference on the page is a short mention, the second is unreliable, the third is TABLOID and based on social media or information provided by the subject. The above TOI is more about the show and not here so just a brief mention and TV Guide only confirms a role. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:21, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything that suggests this DJ meets WP:NBIO or WP:NMUSICIAN. A lot of the content and sources are simply verified through YouTube or AV content and don't go to notability. A lot of the content of the article specifies where the subject has performed, but the coverage only shows listings (not SIGCOV) or just videos, as previously mentioned. The one caveat that I have is that I am not able to find (and therefore assess) any sources that may be in Greek. Bobby Cohn (talk) 15:22, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (for now) - The notability situation is not as bad as it looks, because the article's creators didn't take the time to look for non-social media sources. He has a robust album review at [3]. He has generated some more media coverage in the form of interviews at [4], [5], [6], [7]. Unfortunately, those are all softball interviews from specialist webzines of unconfirmed reliability, so he remains largely unnoticed by the more reliable and objective music media so far. He might achieve WP's requirements for notability in the not-too-distant future but he has to get out of the esoteric underground first. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:25, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails to meet the eneral notability guidelines for biographies of living persons. Also, the character description (in-depth) for the role (previously misspelt as "roll") of Dex Heller seems mildly inflammatory and violating of the encyclopedia's neutral point of view policy. Having one notable acting role⏤for which no stand alone article exists for⏤does not seem to be a valid reason enough for a living persons article to exist on the encyclopedia. livelikemusic(TALK!)15:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree with the nominator that it is an awful article, and that doesn't matter. Even an excellent article can be deleted if the subject fails general notability guidelines. Mr. Hofer is certainly notable. He has been playing a major character on an Emmy Award winning TV series for a couple years.

According to my Google search, this character is not individually notable from the film or television series. Sources only mention the character in passing, or not in a way that would meet SIGCOV or individual notability. As for the sources in the article, they are also passing and do not prove individual notability. (Keep in mind that the character is a main character, so obviously there will be a lot of sources, but for individual notability, there should be at least a few reliable, secondary sources about the specific character and their impact, just in case any fights break out if I don't say this.)
Redirect seems like the most prudent choice here. I would pick the film, since it is the original work and better known than the TV series overall.★Trekker (talk) 16:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, but to Hannah (name)#Fictional characters 2. I agree with Shooterwalker that the article title is way to broad to be useful as a redirect specifically to the movie. Not only is it somewhat doubtful that someone would type this in as a search term, but the vagueness of such a search means it could be looking for any other fictional character named Hannah or Hanna. This particular Hanna, with a link to both the movie and TV show, is already included in the list I suggested, so would be a much more useful target for a Redirect to help in searches.

Delete It can't be too soon because she began painting around 1981. I found her entry in the Swiss Dictionary of Art. She has exhibited, they report, 30 times, and there is a list there of publications, although they appear to be exhibit catalogs which might not be considered independent. The entry also lists some institutions that own her art but rather unfortunately they are mostly failed banks. None of her exhibits, from what I can glean, are in major museums; some are in small cities, and the ones in Milan are not the primary art museums. The book about her (or her art - it's hard to tell) isn't widely held in libraries. Lamona (talk) 04:51, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zxcvbnm: Do you wish to amend your !vote, now that the target has been added to the nomination? Otherwise, this AfD could be procedurally closed with no action due to the improper mid-process scope expansion. Owen×☎12:15, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see where Zxcvbnm agreed to this inclusion. Once he does, there's no problem. Until then, yes, this is an improper mid-process scope expansion, even if it was one minute after he !voted here. You've been an admin, you know how this works. Owen×☎13:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for sparking the confusion/argument, but I agree with Fram's addition of the parent list. Both fail WP:NOTSTATS, as said in the nomination. Every single "mintage figure" list is clearly just a database and I see no evidence presented that they are independently notable, I was leaving it open for someone to potentially present that evidence.

Her acting roles are small or in movies that aren't notable themselves and she hasn't established herself as a notable artist.

Comment. WP:NAUTHOR notability looks possible. I found two reviews [9][10] of the same work. There are Kirkus reviews, but they are in the pay-to-play "Kirkus Indie" program, and do not contribute towards notability.

Turkish article only has primary cite and I cannot see any info there or in my search to show this is any more than a standard station - cannot see how notable. Also I don’t understand why “If there are truly no sources (including in Turkish) then this should be merged and/or redirected rather than deleted”. @Thryduulf:? Chidgk1 (talk) 13:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and or redirect if sources cannot be found. The station verifiably exists so should be a blue link as a very plausible search term. If it isn't notable enough for a stand-alone article then it should be merged and/or redirected to the appropriate broader article. Given that this is a station in Turkey it seems very likely that the majority of sources will be in Turkish - just because they aren't cited in the Turkish Wikipedia article is not evidence they don't exist. Thryduulf (talk) 14:31, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looking at similar articles on the line they seem to be in a similar sourcing state so a bundled AfD was possible, is there any particular reason you AfDed this article in particular? JumpytooTalk01:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because I am looking at the list of Turkey project articles which are tagged as completely unsourced. I did ask about rerunning the bot which tags completely unsourced articles but apparently that would be very difficult. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:10, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since I assume you can do a better job of evaluating Turkish sources than I can, are you able to take a look at the other station articles sometime in the future and see if they would also be candidates for merge/redirection to Northern Line (İZBAN) to help lengthen that article up? Assuming this AfD closes as a redirect/merge, you could likely WP:BOLDLY do the other stations if they also don't have the sourcing. JumpytooTalk18:38, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I am not very interested in that as I don’t live in İzmir and am concentrating on bringing a couple of other articles about Turkey up to good standard. I only put in the occasional delete request to relax after looking at stuff I consider more important. Chidgk1 (talk) 05:46, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I see you are going through the nonsourced articles so I'll add the tags to the other articles for now then. In terms of my !vote someone claims they can find sourcing so I will hold off until I see what they provide. JumpytooTalk03:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I love sabermeterics, don't get me wrong, but WAR is such a multi-layered statistic that I think this list is actually giving the wrong idea and, dare I say, even be misleading to casual fans and curious readers by using overall bWAR as its criteria.
Just a VERY short summary: there are three different kinds of WAR, with three different formulae: fWAR (Fangraphs), WARP (Baseball Prospectus), and bWAR (Baseball Reference). Then that further has three divisions with different formulae for each: pitching WAR, defensive WAR, and offensive WAR.
The list is making it seem as if one WAR is considered better and more reliable when, in reality, bWAR's formulae are debatable, especially with regards to pitchers. E.g. Jim Palmer would fall a 100 positions if you used fWAR here - 68.5 bWAR... 56.6 fWAR. Sandy Koufax would be on this list with 50.8 WAR (54.5 pitching and -3.7 WAR for his terrible hitting) with fWAR compared to his 48.9 bWAR (53.1 pitching and -4.2 hitting). Just two examples to give the disparity. I imagine a few people on the list would not even be on it. Omnis Scientia (talk) 07:58, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We've established that Mays was an elite hitter and an elite defender at a premium position for a longer time than most players can dream. It should come as no surprise, then, that he ranks highly in terms of estimated Wins Above Replacement -- after all, you can make a strong case that he was the most well-rounded player in baseball's history, and they've played the game for a long time. Baseball Reference's calculations, to cite one source, have Mays with the fifth-most WAR of all-time:
1. Babe Ruth, 182.6
2. Walter Johnson, 166.9
3. Cy Young, 163.6
4. Barry Bonds, 162.8
5. Willie Mays, 156.2
It wasn't just that Mays compiled WAR over a long time. He did it with brilliant season after brilliant season. As our Matt Snyder detailed on Tuesday:
"A season of 8.0 WAR is generally considered MVP-caliber. Mays had 11 of those, trailing only Ruth and Bonds' 12. No one else has more than nine. If we set the criteria to 9-WAR seasons, Mays was second with nine (Ruth had 10, no one else has more than eight). If we went to 10-WAR seasons, Mays and Rogers Hornsby had six. Ruth had nine. No one else has more than three."
Whatever you think about WAR's value, you have to admit that Mays' dominance sure feels right.
There is absolutely a case to be made that there has never been a baseball player greater than Mays and it starts with Wins Above Replacement, especially once you take into account a few complications related to how it is used to lead the debate. For starters, let's look at the Baseball Reference leaderboard for all-time WAR:
1. Babe Ruth, 182.6
2. Walter Johnson, 166.9
3. Cy Young, 163.6
4. Barry Bonds, 162.8
5. Willie Mays, 156.2
Notice a few things about the guys ahead of Mays? We don't need to dwell on this for too long — you probably already know how much the following statement means to you — but it needs to be said: Willie Mays is the all-time leader in WAR among MLB players who competed in an integrated league and never used steroids. Would Ruth have been as dominant as Mays if he had been born 25 years later and faced the wave of Black talent that hit MLB in the wake of Jackie Robinson? It's impossible to say. But it's not hard to argue that the era in which Mays starred for the Giants was when the league's raw talent level was at its highest, when every young boy in America grew up wanting to be a baseball player and was afforded the opportunity.
Baseball fans love debates, especially the ones we know will never get settled. Wins Above Replacement is a modern stat with imperfections. But, for today, the All-Time Leaders among everyday players make an interesting top five: 1. Barry Bonds (162.8), who gets a big asterisk from me; 2. Babe Ruth (162.2); 3. Willie Mays (156.4); 4. Ty Cobb (151.4); and Aaron (143.1). When you include WAR from pitching, too, then No. 1 is Ruth (182.6) followed by Walter Johnson (166.9). Close enough for newspaper work. Among active players, the leader is Mike Trout at 86.2. We know how great Trout has been. Of course, Willie Mays wasn’t twice as good. But – so long, Say, Hey – sometimes it seemed that way.

@Left guide, oh I know it is, and I agree that its notable, no question about it. WAR is well discussed in baseball coverage since it came into existance and there is an endless list of sources. But notability is not why I nominated the list.
The list has no context of what WAR is, why Baseball Reference WAR is being used rather than Fangraphs WAR and does not differeniate between position player WAR and pitchers WAR which are, indeed, two different things. I just think its misleading. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt the mainspace : Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Jones lacks significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. He isn't even part of the starring cast in any movies nor TV series so far. All of his roles are minor roles both in film and TV series. No significant coverage of him as an actor. This is considered to be WP:TOOSOON. — YoungForever(talk)06:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for reviewing Dettric Jones' Wikipedia page. I understand and acknowledge the concerns raised regarding the page's compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR.
Although Dettric's role in films and TV series may be considered minor, Jones is still a public figure with a verifiable presence in the entertainment industry. credits include:
- Ozark (Netflix, 2017)
- Raising Dion (Netflix, 2022) - Season 2, Jacob
- The Watcher (Netflix, 2022)
I respectfully argue that the page should not be deleted solely based on the criteria mentioned. Wikipedia's guidelines also emphasize the importance of documenting emerging artists and public figures.
Considering WP:TOOSOON, I propose:
1. Merging page with a list article (e.g., "List of American actors") or a relevant category.
2. Marking page for improvement rather than deletion.
This will allow the page to remain while ensuring compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines.
Delete: One episode appearances and uncredited ones do not amount to notability here. Sourcing is also not coverage beyond confirmation of these roles. Long way from notability. SALT should be applied Oaktree b (talk) 14:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Mark for improvement: Even a single episode as a supporting role contributes significantly to a show. Supporting roles advance plotlines and character development. Jones has been casted in notable productions establishing himself in the industry.
- WP:NACTOR: Criteria 1 (significant roles) is met, as supporting roles impact narrative.
An un-named person on screen is not what we're looking for, notability wise. This person has NOT met GNG, as we have no stories in reliable sources about them. Oaktree b (talk) 00:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - lack of significant coverage as a basic feature, and lack of major roles in films or networks. I would not loosely describe a bit actor as a public figure, because of the legal issues involved. The roles he’s played have been so minimal that none of them have a family name; at least one appears to be a red shirt. His three named roles have been on Netflix, which is not one of the four main networks. I don’t expect a newbie to know what standards we use, but everyone knows in 2024 that actors with only minor roles aren’t just given a Wikipedia entry.

Delete per nom and WP:GNG. Lots of information here, but trying to verify any of it turns up crickets. Article was written by a 1-edit SPA apparently to promote a 2016 tour, and has remained essentialy unchanged ever since—except for adding even more promotional material, this time in support of a new venture involving the band's front men. StonyBrookbabble12:57, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After considering Chubbles' comment below, and after adding those sources and others to the article, I am changing my !vote to weak keep per WP:BAND #11, which states Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network. The Pittsburgh City Paper and Post-Gazette mention the band's album 'having gotten some airplay in Europe' and 'was getting play in Western Europe'; perhaps we can give the benefit of the doubt as to whether the station or stations involved were major outlets in Europe—I did understand it to mean the UK and Ireland, so a large enough coverage area is involved. And while we don't exactly have the WP:3REFS necessary to satisfy the letter of the above guideline and WP:NCORP, at the very least we now have the promotional material removed, with the rest of the content backed up by multiple secondary sources. The Woodstock appearance does seem to be important, although I'm not well enough informed about these commemorational concerts. StonyBrookbabble04:59, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails WP:GNG, I did WP:BEFORE and couldn't find anything of note about this. There are a few mentions about it in forums but nothing serious or useful. If someone finds sources for this please ping me because it will be seriously impressive if someone does. Dr vulpes(Talk)03:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
delete per nom. i suggested in rfd that this article might have been useful, but its final word on the dcvd format is "it probably exists lmao" (and it cites this specific article, seemingly in this diff, as an example of flimsy research, which is really funny)... and also i guess the dreamcast junkyard is a blog, and thus not usable as a source in the first place cogsan(nag me)(stalk me)18:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as noted in the RfD, given the era of the technology it is very likely that the majority of sources will be offline and (and still within copyright) so no amount of googling will find them. This should not be deleted without even an attempt to locate them. Thryduulf (talk) 11:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's unfortunate that an admin of all people would make such assumptions as "there was not even an attempt to locate print sources". I am unsure what would give you the impression that neither me nor cogsan did such a thing, it is de facto accusing us of incompetence.
In fact I did trawl the Internet Archive and found zilch (besides, at least, other things whose acronym is DCVD but are not mentioned on Wikipedia). There really is hardly a mention of it anywhere. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:07, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i'll give you this one; nothing i said here or in rfd suggested outright that i did the big research, but i did as early as in my first comment there, and found as much reliable info then as vulpes and zxcvbnm did now (which is to say that i found nothing). on the other hand, you said in rfd that you found some potentially reliable stuff within 2 minutes, but nothing came from that, so... can i see the sauce? cogsan(nag me)(stalk me)14:40, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr vulpes Unfortunately I don't really either, technology magazines of the era may have something but as I don't read them now and didn't at the time that's just a guess. Patents (if the technology was patented or used others' patents, I don't know) would presumably give useful coverage with which to expand the article but may not count as secondary? If people write journal articles about this sort of technological development that could be another source, but again I don't know if they do. Based on Talk:Retrocomputing and Talk:Vintage computers, Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing seems to be the relevant project so folks there may be able to help more. Thryduulf (talk) 18:14, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This era of technology is very well covered in the Internet Archive's collection of digitized books and technical manuals. It isn't mentioned once there. There isn't enough content for a dedicated article and I don't even see enough to warrant a redirect to another article by current sourcing standards, hence why the article is orphaned. For the sources mentioned in the RfD, both cric.co.jp and "The Dreamcast Junkyard" are not reliable, secondary sources. czar21:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep : This is a notable award per from the reliable source have been seeing so far on Google such as [29], [30], [31] and many more. It’s even a recognized African international award per the impression from significant coverage that are independent of the subject.--Gabriel(……?)16:31, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although they are routine coverages when it comes to event like Awards but I see more than routine coverages on this award and they don’t look like it’s a paid publicity. If they look like a paid publicity or routine through out the source I would have gone for a Delete. But the fact some notable artist and public figures I don’t even believe they would be bragging about the award tells something about it. And I as well know that Wikipedia is not a directory before I gave my reason. Gabriel(……?)17:07, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Delete all. An award's significance isn't solely determined by the prestige of the awarding entity or the notable recipients. Instead, verifiable evidence from reliable sources is required to substantiate claims of notability. These sources must specifically focus on the award itself, providing in-depth information. Sources primarily highlighting award recipients rather than the award itself don't establish notability. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:01, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted under looser notability standards at AfD in 2009. Not every country A and country B combination is notable. Very poorly sourced, no secondary sources at all. Contains wild claims such as "political relations are close due to similarities between the 2 countries on historical, geographical and economical issues." AusLondonder (talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Added more sources and encyclopedic context. Bilateral relations between two nations should not be considered irrelevant, and without notoriety, the two countries have mutual cooperation agreements, and like all articles of embassies, consulates and diplomatic relations with the exception of a diplomat Ghirmai Ghebremariam, who opened a query of deletion because it does not meet expectations, the other previous ones could have relevance in the future, and if they should be maintained and improved, not redirected or merged, much less eliminated. Alon9393 (talk) 21:21, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The sources in the article come close to showing sigcov, especially for a tiny country like Cyprus. Looking up the “Cyprus chamber forum in Riyadh”, I also found this [32]. Looking up the Saudi stance on the division of Cyprus, I found this (extremely biased) paper [33], which is definitely sigcov and argues that Saudi supports Turkey in the dispute (contradicting this article). On the other hand, this news report [34] suggests that Saudi supports Cyprus, not Turkey. The truth is probably a complicated mess. And this [35] suggests an electrical connection (extremely unlikely to happen, but it’s still coverage).
However, despite the coverage, I am not very confident that this article should be kept, since it has very little content that is both notable/DUE and verifiable. Diplomats meeting each other is usually not important enough for inclusion in an article, even if it generates newswire reports (like source 3). Worse, large parts of the article are made-up fluff (like the Cyprus dispute section). This might be a good case for a TNT, I’m not sure. Toadspike[Talk]09:54, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheJoyfulTentmaker That is not a valid policy based keep vote. WP:SIGCOV requires multiple sources with independent significant coverage, which we generally interpret at AFD is a minimum of three sources. One book source, no matter how in-depth does not meet our notability guidelines.4meter4 (talk) 20:39, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I kindly disagree, a single book may indicate existence of more sources. Even without references, deletion nominators are expected to do a good faith WP:BEFORE: to check Google, Google Books, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia Library if possible. AfD is not a place to urge people to fix unreferenced articles. Nomination must come only after there are good indicators that the subject is not notable, regardless of the state of the article; as stated in WP:NEXIST. Sorry for repeating these in multiple nominations of yours, but there are not enough people watching these nominations about niche topics like this one, and I honestly believe it will be a loss for the encyclopedia if these are prematurely deleted. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 21:40, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheJoyfulTentmaker You seem to be misinterpreting policy language. WP:SIGCOV requires multiple sources as a non-negotiable criteria for all wikipedia articles. It's a must and its policy. Period. WP:NEXIST requires people voting to keep articles to produce multiple sources at the time of making a keep argument at an AFD. Asserting there are sources through guesswork is not following NEXIST; nor is arguing for keep based on a book you personally have not seen. Providing sources with url links or the names, publication dates, and pages of specific sources that you personally have looked at is following NEXIST. As for me, I looked at several standard opera reference works, including a Russian language music encyclopedia and found nothing on this person. My attempt at BEFORE may not be perfect but please WP:AGF. Best.4meter4 (talk) 00:52, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you re-read WP:SIGCOV because it doesn't say what you think it does. The immediate subsection doesn't mention the number of sources but a bit further it says "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. Multiple sources are not a "must" and the requirement is not "policy" (our notability documents relate to guidance rather than policy). Thincat (talk) 10:49, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b Just a note: during the period she was active, The Ottoman Empire used the Arabic writing system. So search is not trivial. Even modern sources include various different spellings of her name. Trying the modern Turkish spelling Verkine Karakaşyan, I can easily find at least one journal paper. TheJoyfulTentmaker (talk) 00:11, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I can only see a short segment from the Google Books preview, but the book you linked might have a significant coverage (there are three search hits in separate places of the book). Here is the the second one, page 67: "... Verkine Karakashian read his poem “Freedom” and moved the audience so deeply that the ceremony was repeated for several nights in a row. After this incident, gradually more young girls showed the courage to go onstage and break the ...". Seems there is more before and after this passage, and this itself probably has a citation in the book; so if anyone has access to this book it would be really helpful if you could check. Separately, I added two more sources to the article and found the ISBN number of the book, referenced by CeeGee, who created the article.

Comment: The sourcing is improved, now we have 6 references (one thanks to @Oaktree b's Armenian Wikipedia pointer), and hopefully notability concerns are now reduced. Also, I'm curious about the opinions @Basak and @Buidhe, who are experienced editors with contributions related to Ottoman Armenians on the English or the Turkish Wikipedia.

Keep I see that new relevant sources were added since the beginning of this discussion, therefore to me it is clear that the article should be kept. Of course, it’s possible to add more sources and improve the article. For example here, it’is possible to learn what were the important roles she played in her years at Güllü Agop Company and in Benliyan Operet Company: Women in Ottoman theater life — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basak (talk • contribs) 06:28, 24 September 2024 (UTC) --Basak (talk) 06:38, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved since nomination with references including an encyclopaedia and a scholarly journal, and others, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would this be your !vote to keep or draftify? Draft space is indeed the right place to work on an article when it is currently lacking enough sources. Please take this knowledge to your future self when working on other drafts. I agree that returning the article to draft is an acceptable alternative to deletion. - UtherSRG(talk)11:50, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: A really substantial edit went in after the draftify !vote(s) - still draftify? Or keep? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 01:33, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why draftication would be needed considering the article's current state. It clearly shows notability and seems to be in good shape for mainspace. Skyshiftertalk11:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the problems this article has are not ones that draftification is useful in solving (and it is massively overused at AfD), no one will ever update it if it is draftified it is just a backdoor deletion. She is seemingly notable for other things as well - just add stuff from the pt.wiki article. It's already better than it was when it was nominated.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Can we see these Arabic sources, please? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 01:30, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draft as per @Abo Yemen so they can have time to find arabic sources. As it stands now I would vote delete. But I really hope Abo can save this article, let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Dr vulpes(Talk)06:12, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Problem here is notability and after reviewing Arabic sources on the pages and some others through search, I found that degree of significance of the subject and of role as business is not enough to warrant a page on the subject. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. RangersRus (talk) 14:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
