This is mostly redundant with Procopius (disambiguation). The page was originally created as another of the Roman gens articles, i.e. meets a particular definition of family from early Roman history, which is not the case here, so the rationale behind this article's creation was mistaken. Several of the listed individuals have nothing to do with each other save for name (WP:SHAREDNAME), and therefore belong in a disambiguation page rather than here. Avilich (talk) 23:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the correct procedure would be to merge this with the other page—make sure that everyone listed here is listed there, if they fit the criterion of being named "Procopius", and make sure that any of the others can be reached from the related articles, then convert this title into a redirect. The title may still be useful, since disambiguation pages can be split, or this title might be used as a "prosopography page". Even if all of the content is redundant, merging is still the procedure to follow—the disambiguation page may need some revisions before converting this one into a redirect, and it's not clear that there's anything wrong with this title—at worst it still seems like a plausible formulation for the topic. P Aculeius (talk) 17:05, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Either deleting or merging might do, but search terms like this are inherently unlikely since one will either know the desired target beforehand or just type "Procopius" without the parenthetical specifier. The target is only called "Procopius (Romans)" as a result of your own belated move of it from "Procopius (gens)". I don't see this becoming a prosopographical page since shared personal name alone does not make an association of individuals notable (WP:SHAREDNAME), and the individuals on the bottom have nothing to do with the others anyway.

The result was no consensus. As I noted above, it looks like there is some sourcing, but there is little here to confirm what it says and whether it is sufficiently significant. Whilst the rationales underpinning the keep votes are week, I am not seeing a clear consensus to delete here. Fenix down (talk) 11:30, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Disputed PROD with the wording "meets NFOOTY, pro games". This is a factual error, article fails WP:NFOOTY as this player's handful of game in the top men's division of Norwegian football took place well before the league was 'fully professional'. Also fails WP:GNG due to lack of non-routine coverage. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Lyn was clearly one of the strongest Norwegian football clubs in the early 1990s, and Amundsen played several games for that team. Coverage of footballers who were active in the 1980s and 1990s are a bit hard to find online, but a look in the newspaper archives of the National Library turned up some results. In particular, I have made some expansions to the article after finding content in Romerikes blad that have covered his achievements. Sjakkalle(Check!)19:01, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: An attempt has been made to provide more sources to support gng. The fact they are offline is of no consequence but I think there needs to be more description as to what they contain. From the article, it looks like routine transfer talk, but it's not clear. Difficult to close as a keep on that basis, would be good if contributing editors could provide a bit more information on the source.

Comment The articles I found are from the newspaper archives that the National Library provides to all Norwegian IP-addresses. However, not all newspapers are available outside of the libraries. Romerikes blad is one of the newspapers freely available. The coverage is sports news, in particular I found a post-game report of a quarter-final where Amundsen scored three goals, and a pre-game report of a match between LSK and Lyn where some coverage of ex-LSK players who had transferred to Lyn was given. I have avoided the routine coverage such as the line-up of a particular game, but coverage of a player in the body of an article is "significant coverage". The coverage of Amundsen during the 1980s and 1990s is on par with the coverage of individual Norwegian Premier League players today. Sjakkalle(Check!)13:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. I think there is probably just about sufficient sourcing here to satisfy GNG. Comments since the last relist seem to echo this and I thnk we are just about over the line in terms of consensus. Fenix down (talk) 11:33, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Article was previously kept at an AfD in 2011 on the basis that it passed WP:NFOOTBALL, but the criteria subsequently changed and the Norwegian men's Premier Division is no longer considered a 'fully professional league' during the period this player was active in it. Also fails WP:GNG. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 21:16, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He played nearly 200 matches in the top division. Yes technically not 100% fully pro league back then but this nomination is on a technicality; clearly top level footballer in a top level club. Abcmaxx (talk) 03:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, but the country in question is Norway, whilst not the strongest league in the world certainly not the peripheries of football e.g. Andorra or Guam etc. Wasn't exactly an amateur pub league, clearly this person was an established pro footballer at the highest level in a reasonable European league with pro teams. He has amassed a lot of caps Abcmaxx (talk) 18:25, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Vote-wise, we're angling more to keep than delete, but there hasn't been a great deal of discussion around sources to prove gng. Spiderone has kind of started this but a bit more focus on this side of things would help a stronger consensus one way or the other.

The problem with this list is the same problem identified in this 2006 AfD: There's "no true way to determine accuracy of [the] article", and it's "inherently impossible to be NPOV with such a topic." A list like this requires editors to make value judgments about who is "conservative enough" to be included. It's easy enough to include Scalia and Thomas, but what about borderline cases like Kennedy and O'Connor? Powell? Black? Harlan? The first Justice Roberts? Or, for that matter, the second Justice Roberts? I could go on and on - and that's just the Supreme Court Justices. This list includes appellate judges, district judges, attorneys- and solicitors-general, and even professors. If all that's required is the use of the word "conservative" in a newspaper clipping, I could list hundreds of notable figures who could be placed on this list. There are no useful criteria that could winnow down the list, which is why it includes everyone from dyed-in-the-wool right-wingers (Alito, Thomas) to libertarians (Pilon) to near-leftists (Posner) to many, many people in between. But my point isn't that the list is wrong or even overinclusive - it's that it's impossible to assess objectively without interposing my own views of what it means to be a "real conservative". The list thus necessarily violates WP:NPOV and WP:OR, and so it ought to be deleted. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think the nomination confuses the issue of whether reliable sources consistently describe someone as "conservative", with whether someone is "really" a conservative. So long as there is a consensus among relevant sources, it doesn't matter whether that label is "objective", and ultimately it's a self-identification or a characterization by others rather than a concrete fact anyway. So I'm less concerned with who "is" conservative and more with how broad "legal figure" is. I'd expect most judges nominated by recent Republican presidents would be considered conservative, and then add to that applicable state court judges, lawyers, legal scholars, etc... postdlf (talk) 22:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're both getting at the same root problem, which is that it's impossible to list every legal figure whom the reliable sources consider conservative. (Just the list of notable figures would run into the hundreds or even thousands.) We are thus left to exercise our own discretion on whom to include, which inevitably raises NPOV and OR issues. And it doesn't help that there are so many shades of grey: e.g. Scalia himself was "liberal" on many criminal justice issues, while a justice like Kennedy was conservative on free speech and federalism while being liberal on abortion and gay rights. The reliable sources don't just stuff people in red or blue boxes, and neither should we. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Both "conservative" and "legal figures" are such broad terms that they could encompass anyone from Scalia to a district attorney that ran as a Republican. Because such a broad definition is so all-encompassing, it doesn't really make sense for this to be a list. If anything, a category would probably be better, with an equivalent for liberal figures. Kncny11(shoot)22:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Reasonable enough to assume that most justices, judges, attorneys general, solicitor generals, etc. appointed by Republican presidents are conservative legal figures. While that's not always the case and some are better known than others, I'm not sure how this can be structured with adequate inclusion criteria to limit its size to be encyclopedic and not a bullet-pointed, context-free list. Reywas92Talk23:57, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with the nomination and above comments, almost any legal figure who is conservative could be included in this list and is very objective. We don't even have a list of liberal United States legal figures why does it make sense to have a list for only conservatives. JayJayWhat did I do?05:24, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This a topic area that is way to broad and is subject to, like many lists, of dumping in people for whom there is not consensus that they actually belong in this category. -Indy beetle (talk) 07:35, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't know what criteria applied here to create this list because the subject is very broad but there should be a list available for both conservatives and liberal United States legal figures. TheDreamBoat (talk) 05:47, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It's too broad for a list. This kind of thing is better handled by categories and subcategories. The list would just be too long to be helpful. Spudlace (talk) 03:40, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly Wikipedia can't be a depository for each and every company which runs buses through regional streets and this article is clearly not notable enough for inclusion.

Doesn't meeet wp:politician. A perennial candidate but has never held office and has had very little media attention. The only evidence of him being a "political commentator" are blog posts and his Youtube channel with 161 subscribers. Most of the article is referenced to blog posts, press releases, and his Youtube channel. -- haminoon (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't agree that Berry has had very little media coverage. While there are a fair few blogposts and press releases referenced, I counted and the majority of references are articles from news outlets on him over years, many of which he is the sole subject of the article. Nexus000 (talk) 22:49, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:GNG (just) in my view. He's enough of a crazy to attract a lot of media attention. He was the highest-profile New Zealander affected by the Twitter purge earlier this year (see here). In 2018, his Northcote motorway proposal gained him a lot of attention. None of the news coverage used as references goes into biographical details, but many are more than just passing mentions and I shall list those here:
There isn't any media coverage from his 2013 mayoralty run that's part of the article. He came third, which surprised everyone and is not a shabby result for running in Auckland. So there will be sources from then that aren't part of the article yet. Not that it matters, but Berry would be a member of parliament right now if he had not pulled out of the 2020 general election; he was #9 on their list and they won 10 list seats; he pulled out in July 2020 for health reasons. Schwede6601:15, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Looks like it does meet WP:GNG. Social media followers usually are not reliable indicators of notability. I also do not see much self-published references that are mentioned by the nominator. ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime12:41, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this smells of a paid article/COI and is overly promotional. All of the coverage, including the coverage above, is routine and political. If this is kept, we absolutely have to clean up the promotional links. SportingFlyerT·C13:04, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I made this page. No paid article or COI. I thought having an elaborate 'external links' would mean a good resource on the subject. But I've done it for a few articles and people have since removed the links, so I won't continue doing it. Happy for a cleanup if the tone isn't right.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The brief text provided reads like it's been copied straight from a press release, and the one source is a short interview from his local "what's on" listings magazine (archived here [4]) and I haven't found anything better. Doesn't appear to have been updated in almost ten years, probably because there's nothing to update – as far as I can tell, all he's released since his album Celebration (which has already been PRODded by another editor) is a compilation album and three mixtapes all entitled Bread Crumbs, none of which have received any coverage at all in reliable sources. Just about the most recent thing I have found is a brief promotion for a 2017 video on a non-RS site which STILL calls him an up-and-coming artist, after more than a decade of making music [5].

Even with targeted searches like <"Glory" + "rapper" + "Celebration" + "Giddeon"> I can find nothing beyond a few leftover social media posts and streaming entries.

The result was no consensus. Those who advocated for 'keep' would do well to make the improvements to the article that were discussed in this debate, to ensure this article isn't back at AfD in three months time. Daniel (talk) 14:23, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep 129 books, this is a massive series with a lot of characters. No valid reason given for deletion. If you want to divide it into separate articles because of size, or discuss which characters aren't notable enough to remain on this list, do so on the talk page. DreamFocus19:21, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'm mildly biased, as a longtime Warriors fan, but the series is incredibly sprawling, and while the list definitely needs to be re-tooled, the franchise itself is large enough that there should be some separate page for a list of characters. To show that it can be done, about a week ago I managed to cut List of Kung Fu Panda characters to about 1/10 its original size. Kncny11(shoot)23:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Speaking as a long-time contributor to this article (and others under the wikiproject), though less active lately, I do agree that the article could really benefit from being improved in the sense of having more references both to the books and to third-party sources. Most minor characters on this list would not have non-in-universe references, but arguably, this is the case for many similar franchise character lists: e.g. List of Star Wars characters, List of Harry Potter characters, etc. To address the suggestions above about potentially splitting this list: this has been tried a couple times in the past (see the records of deletion for List of ThunderClan cats, List of RiverClan cats, etc.). I was personally involved in one of those attempts (initiated precisely because we felt the list was getting too long), and they have not been successful in the past as it was always felt that once split apart, the lists were not considered to meet notability. You can search User:Brambleclawx/List and all the suggestions listed are basically transfers of the split lists before they were deleted. My current inclination is that a lot of the plot summary can be cut down: the number of entries may not be trimmable due to the sheer number of characters, but the overall length can be cut down by removing a lot of in-universe material to focus only on details important to the overall character/plot arcs (rather than minutiae about what happens to them in each novel in the series). That will be work-intensive but doable, but then afterwards there will also be an element of maintenance: this list is frequently contributed to by fans of the series whose (good-faith) inclination will be to document every detail they can find about each character. I am of course happy to try to do that maintenance, but I am nowhere near as active as I used to be, and the list is simply not monitored as well as some of those lists for larger franchises I mentioned above, so it may re-accumulate. But my overall opinion is still to keep, since the issue at hand is really improvement/trimming. Brambleclawx04:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and drastically clean-up. This one is in truly rough shape but it is definitely a notable and discriminate topic. This could use a trim of minor characters, or characters who should be covered as groups instead of individuals. Archrogue (talk) 18:56, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is something that belongs on fandom. This is so far WP:FANCRUFT that it literally fits the exact definition. "Fancruft is a term sometimes used in Wikipedia to imply that a selection of content is of importance only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question." It isn't well written, it's citations are poor and too few for the 470,000 bytes this article takes up. FlalfTalk04:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are several areas that need to be trimmed (the excessively in-universe parts, and the long descriptions about minor characters), but a list of characters in a creative work is a perfectly valid stand-alone list topic. — Goszei (talk) 17:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a terrible example if you're looking for "in situ" correction; there are 5 existing references and 0 to independent sources for a list of some 40kb. That's terrible. My own efforts at List of Mass Effect characters in July 2017 with earlier cuts in January 2013 (including stuffing an auxiliary list back in!) and March 2013, followed by what I would describe as decent efforts after by Masem and Haleth to better provide appropriate weight to the real world aspects of the characters is a much better example (and Haleth has even split several characters off to their own articles since, which I see as a success!), but even then I had content to work with that had citations. This article has approximately 0. I am well aware an "in situ" fix can be done, this article would simply have nothing left after such a fix. --Izno (talk) 04:34, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: Complete destruction of hundreds of thousands of characters of work is not the way to go about this in my opinion. There is much good-quality content from this article. Plot summaries, often cited to the source itself, are unavoidable in a list of this type. At the very least, it should be moved to draftspace until it is ready, instead of deletion; it is definitely not unsalvageable. sam1370 (talk · contribs)00:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I subscribe to broken windows theory in regard to the cruft that accumulates in corners of our fictional articles, especially list articles that are walking WP:NOTPLOT violations (which I forgot to mention, woops!). This list is one such. Draftifying it won't save it and will just put garbage in another space to be deleted by G13 when the time comes. An article 13 years old deserves an actual choice on the matter, so we should make the decision now to remove it. If there is something to save, it will come from actual WP:RS discussing the topic(s) in some detail. This isn't it. "Destruction of hundreds of thousands of characters of work" is some misnomer; it's "destruction of hundreds of thousands of characters of work that should never have been wrought (at least not here)". --Izno (talk) 00:57, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
As it happens, there is a Fandom with 4000 articles on the subject. They can and will do justice to the topic from a fictional point of view that we have no hope of approaching, even if we have 440000 characters on the topic. --Izno (talk) 01:03, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Izno: Eh, the page serves a legitimate encyclopedic purpose - to summarize each individual Warriors character - not to simply create a plot summary. Fandom is in general held to lower standards than content on Wikipedia. Allowing the content to be here raises the bar and makes it of higher quality. This article can be useful, to people who want a more in-depth look at the series than what is currently on the page. sam1370 (talk · contribs)19:29, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the ultimate decision, in my opinion, of whether an article should be kept or deleted should come down to whether it is harmful for it to be left up. The list does not contain any content that would warrant this judgement, such as egregious misinformation or self-promotion; it is simply an article that, although needing improvement, can still be useful. It is true that most of the people who find this article to be useful are Warriors fans; however, I don't see any harm with letting the article stay on Wikipedia, which gives it the benefit of being held to higher standards than it would if it were removed, and restored somewhere else on Fandom wikis. sam1370 (talk · contribs)00:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Looks like it can be kept with WP:NFICT#Lists of fictional elements. I do agree that the article is too long and the article needs to be shorten significantly. However, WP:TNT may not be the best option. The point of WP:TNT is that sometimes restarting an article takes less effort than fixing it. In this case, however, the references are all mostly non-online sources so restarting may take a lot of effort. It also seems like a lot of the content can simply be removed outright for completely being unsourced, so it may take less effort than expected to fix the article. ~ Ase1estecharge-paritytime13:02, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Premier Division sits at the 14th level of English football, so is significantly below the notable level. It has had very, very occasional coverage in the Derbyshire Times and the Buxton Advertiser (a search of both newspapers' websites will show you that this coverage is not regular nor in any great depth when it is covered). Since the league has been around for a while, I did a search of the newspaper archives but this did not yield any WP:SIGCOV whatsoever. All we can see there are occasional reporting on AGMs or just a brief results round-up; in most cases, this took up a mere fraction of a column in the local paper. This league seems no more notable than the several deleted recently. Spiderone(Talk to Spider)20:04, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I'm not comfortable with the spree of league deletions occuring. They might not be of national interest, and may not be high up the current pyramid, but they contain notable teams and have decades of history. The Hope Valley League is one such league with interest from both sides of the Pennines, and teams that are notable enough to have their own page (Hathersage F.C. for one). There are tens of thousands of Wikipedia articles out there dedicated to people, items, organisations and others that are nowhere near as noteworthy as the Hope Valley Amateur League. 92.9.45.199 (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No deletion is ever truly uncontroversial as every topic is always of interest to at least someone. Hathersage are notable because they have played in a national competition (the FA Amateur Cup) and not because they have played in the Hope Valley League and, in any case, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED and every topic must be notable in its own right to have an article. The only applicable notability guideline here is WP:GNG. If you can share WP:THREE sources showing significant coverage of this league, I will happily reconsider my stance. It must be said, though, that the newspaper coverage that I linked in my archive search above was minimal; often taking up a very small fraction of one column and akin to the sort of coverage that routine notices about someone's cat being missing or an announcement for a car boot sale receive...

My primary concern is that the subject does not meet WP:GNG at this moment in time. In my search, the only sources I could find were ones of the calibre of this one, which does little to establish notability. I have also looked through every news story here and found no detailed coverage of her as an individual either. Invariably, she is just mentioned as part of a group of players. There is a lack of a focus on her specifically.
Players could get presumed notability through WP:SPORTCRIT if they have played in a major international competition at the highest level, but Kolesnikova hasn't played in the European Championship, nor the World Championship nor the Olympics. There is no evidence that she is a significantly notable figure within handball. Maybe she will rise to that level in a few years but she also might not.

Speedy Keep The nomination is not policy-based – WP:FANCRUFT is an essay with no official standing. And it is apparent that the nominator is abusing Prod/AfD to try to force someone to work on the article, contrary to WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:NOTCOMPULSORY: "Focus on improving the encyclopedia itself, rather than demanding more from other Wikipedians."
So, the policy WP:ATD applies as usual – "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page." – and deletion processes are not appropriate.
Andrew Davidson, What makes "bamsmackpow.com" a WP:RS? As for the Encyclopedia, all I am seeing there is a passing mention in a sentence that lists a number of different characters, so it seems he doesn't even have as much a single sentence dedicated solely to himself there. If there is anything that meets SIGCOV there, please provide a page number or a quotation. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here06:37, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Complainer Pipsally is clearly disingenuous in invoking on Feb 8th the notoriety requirement, right after seeing an extensive article in Time.com, released on Feb. 4th. Time magazine is one of the mainstays of American press, established in 1923 and with print circulation of over 2 million. Indeed, the article sorely needs an update beyond 2012 references and should be expanded. So just say that, by calling it a stub or otherwise drawing attention to it, rather than launching this feeble and likely politically motivated attempt to have it deleted. Telling is the fact that the second voice for deletion, user BubblySnow, is labeled at a sockpuppet of a banned user.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:47D0:7660:C872:3760:781C:AB5A (talk) 06:59, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

First and foremost, do not delete this post. I write this in relation to an article that drove me to look Mr. Podhorzer up. It is in the Feb 15th, 2021 (needs verification) issue of Time magazine which places Mr. Podhorzer as the "architect" of a systematic strategy to maintain democracy in the United States, this in the face of the anti-democratic implications of the existence of Donald Trump. So if anything, he is a national hero. In fact, while reading the article the name that came to mind was that of Paul Revere, shouting his legendary warning about the British.

A charity with ??? notability. Generic name impedes the search for sources, leading to red herrings and other organizations that don't seem to be related to this one. The original article author (circa 2009) clearly SPA, also redirected their user name to this article for some reason? Pretty sure this was made as advertising, and there hasn't been enough interest or sourcing to actually improve it over the years.

PROD contested with the wording: "10 appearances for a top, top club and then national cup final as well - deleting this via PROD would be complete folly" Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:GNG; unevidenced subjective opinions that a club is "top,top" are irrelevant. Tromsø finished 10th of 12 teams in 1991 (relegation play-off) and 8th of 12 in 1992. They were part-timers in a part-time league. In no sense whatsoever were they a "top, top club".

October 2020 AfD closed as no consensus, so I am re-nominating the page after over three months. As I pointed out in my first nomination, the position of "White House Chief Security Officer" certainly fails to meet WP:NPOL.

Comment - just in response to the personal attack above. How many of your articles have I reviewed, and marked passed as reviewed? Quite a few more than I've had issues with, if you bothered to look before making a baseless accusation. Even those which have been sent to AfD by other Reviewers, before you worked to improve the articles, like Ellen McElduff. Other of your articles, I've had to request revdel on, due to copyright violations (like Gary Hershberger), and have not commented on the notability of. I simply review your articles as they come up in the queue, and when one with questionable comes along, I take appropriate action. Knowing that you will object to what should be handled through a prod, I bring them to AfD. Just today, I approved 2 of your other articles as passing review.

Comment - Um, it wasn't a personal attack, the personal attack was when you made weird and untrue accusations about me on another user's talk page! Nice dig about the copyvio del - showing further proof you have animosity towards me. Today you nominated 2 more articles within less than three minutes of each other, not nearly enough time to review and read all page references and external links and decide on the notability of two people, let alone perform detailed searches.

His role on Twin Peaks should be enough for cult status, and his roles in TP, 24, and many other shows should be enough for WP:NACTOR. I'm not sure if there's a criteria for stuntmen, but all his stunt credits AND work as a stunt co-ordinator in major TV shows and movie franchises over 40 years, along with sourcing, should be enough for WP:GNG.

Non notable minor local factory and municipal functionary. All sources in the article are either unreliable (Rudé právo - national communist party paper, Jihočeská Pravda - local party paper etc.), or do not mention the article subject at all (Osteuropa auf dem Weg zur Marktwirtschaft). Previous AfD closed as no consensus, because participants were not able to judge reliability of the Czech language sources. Pavlor (talk) 15:36, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Statement of the author of the article: In my opinion, there was no reason for AfD. On the contrary, a source was added that dates back to the 1990s, when Czechoslovakia was no longer a totalitarian state. The source proves that the procedures that František Bohdal invented and implemented were used long after. I cannot agree with the subjective opinion of the petitioner of the deletion. František Bohdal was awarded the state award by the President of the Republic several times. The state award also had to be approved by the government. Some sources come from the time of totalitarianism, but propaganda information was filtered from them and they only describe the facts (when he worked in which department, what awards he received, what procedures he invented). I believe that a lot of information should be preserved, because it also appears on the site of the factory on czWikipedia. Thanks to František Bohdal, on whom the interest of the press at the time was focused in the 1950s and 1980s, various technological processes in the plant can be mapped. I'm in favor of keeping the article.--Kopal.jiri (talk) 16:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Does that source published after 1989 at least mention the article subject? As of the state award, it was awarded to a collective of workers not to the article subject individually. Pavlor (talk) 16:17, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You probably do not understand the issue or deliberately misrepresent it. For each award, it is written whether it was awarded directly to Bohdal or whether it was awarded to a collective (either a paper mill collective or a narrower collective, which he headed). No one is deceived here, and there are also pictures taken from the archives of the office of the President of the Republic, which mention František Bohdal directly. From your text it is clear that you may not even read article and suggest you to delete it.--Kopal.jiri (talk) 16:25, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are only two notable awards (Order of Victorious February, Order of the Republic), both were awarded to a collective of workers. However, my main issue are sources. If the best source you can provide (Osteuropa auf dem Weg zur Marktwirtschaft), doesn´t mention the article subject at all (at least searching in the Google Books preview), there are literally no sources one can use to write an article. Pavlor (talk) 16:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I don't feel qualified to decide which state award is more important than another. These are all state decorations awarded by the President of the Republic at the suggestion of the government. That is why I consider them just as important.--Kopal.jiri (talk) 16:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Surely the government of Czechoslovakia had its own ranking of which state awards were more important than others. No, it's not for us to decide that, but I assume that the government had its own plan for deciding which award to give to Gustáv Husák and which award to give to the manager of a paper mill. --Metropolitan90(talk)17:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, there was a prescription that determined the order in which they were worn, ranging from rarer to less rare. I just wanted to say that it was always a state award, which automatically makes them significant awards.--Kopal.jiri (talk) 17:15, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Considering that all the sources provided are in Czech, one might expect that a notable Czech person would be the subject of an article in the Czech Wikipedia. While cs:František Bohdal exists, it's about a novelist/poet/playwright with the same name. I don't see any evidence that the Czech Wikipedia includes an article about the paper mill manager František Bohdal; apparently they cover him in the article about the factory where he worked, cs:JIP - Papírny Větřní. --Metropolitan90(talk)18:03, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just because an award is from a national government does not mean that it is significant enough to pass notability standards, especially collective awards. I agree with Metropolitan90 rationale as well. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:49, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The subject was touted to be the would-be first Black African in space but the his mission was essentially cancelled after the XCOR Aerospace folded in 2017.
Keep Notable per the specific articles about him in publications like the Guardian, which weren't just when the competition was awarded, but also when he died. Pinging @Pigsonthewing: who also helped start this article a few years back. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 15:49, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Mike Peel. Notability does not diminish with time. Meets GNG. quite why anyone would make such a nomination, when they themselves say "He has received significant coverage from several African WP:RS or even western sources such as the CNN and The Guardian." is beyond me.

The result was keep. Consensus is that she's notable... for being covered by media on account of her self-promotion. Oh well. Sandstein 12:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This article was deleted on July 2018 for violating the Rule 4 of Wikipedia's Deletion Policy (advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content).
It has been rewritten in June 2020, but still without any relevant nor encyclopedic content (a self-published book is not enough).
This article is basically a self-promoting page about a girl who dreamt to be an astronaut, and her dad had enough money to try to realize her dream. They tried to sell the image of her being an astronaut on training for an official mission to Mars (source 1, source 2, source 3), but later the uncorrelation with NASA was revealed and covered multiple times by the media (source 1, source 2, source 3).
So, since this article is basically about a girl who attended some cool summer camps with the "space" word in it (like thousands of other people in the world) and studying astrobiology (like millions of people in this world), I think that it should be deleted in respect of the rule 4 of Wikipedia's Deletion Policy, event if it meets the WP:GNG, because nothing in this article is relevant or encyclopedic content.
PS: Before voting, just take a look at the revision history of the page to see what a mess this article is. It also shows that some users are not super partes in their stances and there might be some kind of collaboration with the subject of the article itself (possibily violating the WP:COI). Theory made probable by the fact that during the first cancellation a former Wikipedia admin declared himself ready to resign in case of deletion. An oversized reaction, to say the least. --Darius Alnex (talk) 15:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (grudgingly), whilst she is not notable in the sense of having done or experienced anything particularly exceptional, she has received a truly exceptional amount of coverage - which is the crux of the general notability guidelines. COI issues can be addressed without deleting. --Paul ❬talk❭ 17:36, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article is overly promotional bunk that does not belong on Wikipedia. She is not known for attending space camp a lot of times, or visitng a lot of space centers, outside of her own mind and the press releases her family has churned out. Wikipedia is not a platform for every young person';s press releases.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep IMHO, Rule 4/WP:PROMO would only apply if the content of the article was not thoroughly backed up by sources. The subject meets GNG and has had coverage over an extended period (2014-2020). There are few things in this article that are not widely covered in a variety of sources. Does the page have issues? Yes. But should it be deleted? No. Samsmachado (talk) 19:23, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Got any proof of that? It seems rather unlikely that a Canadian undergrad who specializes in Canadian feminist theater -- and is conscientious enough to disclose a COI about a medical condition -- is affiliated with an aspiring astronaut from Louisiana. Please see WP:AGF. Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This user created the page from zero after the first deletion in June 2020 (why?), then added awards and filmography on July 2020 (very local awards and very specific tv appareances), then corrected her father's name on February 2021, and heavily fought trough all the deletion attempts. Like you said, since we're not speaking about Billie Eilish, it's a strange connection for a Canadian undegrad to have with a Louisiana astronaut wannabe. Hard to believe that some WP:COI is not happening here. --Darius Alnex (talk) 22:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This display of bad faith upsets me. I have no COI here and would declare it if I did. I simply hate to see the accomplishments of young women be excluded from Wikipedia because of the bias of older men (the majority of wiki editors) against young women. Her father's name was spelled differently barely a paragraph apart, so I changed it after googling which one was correct. I added awards and TV appearences because that is something I do standardly in my work on articles about women in theatre. I have created many pages about total strangers, many of whom you'd have stronger ground at arguing a COI for (ie. being in the same country). I had simply seen coverage of Carson appearing on my newsfeed and thought 'that's a cool young woman who should be covered on Wikipedia'. Samsmachado (talk) 22:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If the person in question was called Alex Carson it would have been the same. "I simply hate to see the accomplishments of young women be excluded from Wikipedia"... which accomplisments? She did nothing. She paid to attend space camps and her dad paid some blogs to spoke about her. Is this encyclopedic material? If you think so, vote "Keep". I don't think it's enough, and that's why I applied the page for the deletion. About the allegations, your behavior (and the one of another user, also Canadian) was suspicious, and it was worth pointing it out to the community. After that, vox populi vox dei. The community will decide what to do. --Darius Alnex (talk) 23:16, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: You are welcome to launch a formal investigation into my alleged COI; you will find I have none. Otherwise, this verges on harassment. I can appreciate that you do not think her achievements are enough. Plenty of people shared your opinion in the previous AFD and you are free to think as you will. However, more people (or at least people with stronger or more policy-informed arguments) decided she was encyclopedic content less than a year ago. Samsmachado (talk) 23:21, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. There seems to be a committed effort by otherwise-infrequent editors to try to debunk or delete this article, despite it being well sourced. She might be notable only because of self-promotion, but she is notable. Like it or not, reliable sources have reported on her. pburka (talk) 20:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: To clarify my position, I do most of my edits without logging in, since I'm not interested in having a career as a Wikipedia editor. And they're usually made to correct vandalized articles that I'm reading. I don't have anything personal against the subject of the article, since I'm not even from the same continent of her. I'm just an astronomy enthusiast who doesn't think that a wannabe astronaut should have a Wikipedia page until it actually became an astronaut, in accordance with the WP:TOOSOON policy. --Darius Alnex (talk) 20:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If anything is too soon, it's this nomination. This article was already debated and kept in July and again in August. What has changes in the last 6 months to merit yet another discussion? pburka (talk) 21:41, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That I found a probable WP:COI violation. Most of the subject of the article appearences seems to be paid posts on blogs, so it's not unlikely that a couple of Wikipedia editors (and back in the days a former admin of Wikipedia) could have been paid to keep the page alive. I do realize that the "evidences" are circumstantial, but I think that this is a topic the community of Wikipedia has the right to discuss. Besides the fact that the entire article is no way near to have any encyclopedic interest. --Darius Alnex (talk) 22:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My edit history speaks for myself and it's coherent with my previous message (you can edit vandalized pages without logging in, you cannot delete one without logging in). Also, I'm not an English speaker, so you can find most of my edits on the Italian Wikipedia. If reddit or 4chan was involved you would have seen more than 3 "delete" messages. I just don't think that a wannabe astronaut has the right to have a page on an online encyclopedia and IMHO it's an offense to all the people who actually works at NASA, who are real scientists and have really achieved something. That's why I applied the page for the deletion. --Darius Alnex (talk) 23:16, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Rule 4 of Wikipedia's Deletion Policy gave me the power to launch the deletion process. The voting will decide if the article is encyclopedic or not. Also none of the example of WP:IDONTLIKEIT matches what I said. I started the deletion process because IMHO there's nothing encyclopedic in someone who tries to become an astronaut (especially if the sources seems to be paid posts). Or at least this is the idea that I have of "encyclopedia". And in the first deletion attempt it was the idea of the majority of the people. --Darius Alnex (talk) 23:30, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"It isn't encyclopedic" and "AfD is a vote between the majority of the people" are also examples of arguments to avoid in deletion discussions; it would be a good idea to read that page so you do not produce several more. You are free to nominate an article for deletion. Others are free to say that you have not provided a policy-based reason to delete an article, and in fact have inadvertently provided one to keep it. Gnomingstuff (talk) 23:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The first AfD was back in 2018 (also initiated by the current nom), and the article has been rewritten with better sourced since then, as evidenced by comments and "keep" conclusions at AfDs 2 and 3. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is still largely promotional content that does not have a place here. Sources are largely routine appearances and interviews of her own self-advocacy, not encyclopedic content. She's garnered herself an over-the-top resume but not notability. Reywas92Talk20:19, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The entire argument here seems to be WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Per above, the subject passes GNG, and just because you don't like that the coverage exists doesn't change the fact that it does. Even your stated rationale for non-notability -- that the NASA stuff was "revealed and covered many times by the media" -- is itself a demonstration of GNG.
For that matter, the page doesn't even read as particularly promotional. The bulk of it is objective facts, and a significant portion is dedicated to the aforementioned debunking of the NASA branding. That is not something a promotional piece or press release would include.
(I have no affiliation with the subject of this article and indeed had never heard of her until several hours ago -- I trust nobody will twist those words into "well, you've never heard of her, obviously she isn't notable." If you check my edit history, what you will find is a great deal of slashed promotional writing.) Gnomingstuff (talk) 20:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this was closed as Keep twice last year. What has changed since then? Per the sourcing in the article and the explanations in the other 2 AfDs, WP:SIGCOV is met. Concerns of PROMO and COI can be fixed through editing. TJMSmith (talk) 23:08, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't think what she has done is of great importance, but the article clearly establishes Wikipedia notability. I don't understand the comment that "nothing in this article is relevant or encyclopedic content". The content is clearly relevant to the subject; it describes what she has done. Whether or not it's "encyclopidic" is a judgement call, but I don't think it clearly violates WP:PROMOTION. PopePompus (talk) 02:54, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No WP:SIRS to meet WP:GNG. Fails NARTIST. I was able to verify one museum collection [8] though I'm unsure if this would even qualify for what we think of as a museum collection, as the "The permanent collection is constituted by a selection of works of Ksenia Milicevic realized between 1984 and 1998. Sculptures of Christopher Stone and Gerard Lartigue." Furthermore, a number of the exhibitions and awards are in User:Theredproject/Predatory Exhibitions and Vanity GalleriesTheredproject (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I'm not finding anything to substantiate that this is a notable artist. The article seems like a promotional effort to construct a narrative that this is an artist of note via predatory exhibit credentials and a questionable museum collection.

not sure how this guy meets NPOL, aside from the fact that "State Co Convenor" doesn't appear to be an elected position, he basically runs the IT & social media of a party, which is also not an elected position, just a standard office type job. There's no coverage to meet GNG either. CUPIDICAE💕14:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Quite small and not notable at all. The account that made this article itself is called ankitchandelbjp, smells like WP:Coi, but can't be sure. Regardless, sources mentioned are no very well known, they also don't cover the person-in-question. The information provided is also not notable, again. Even googling the person in question hasn't shown any new information about the person. In my opinion enough coverage of the subject does not exist, stringent mentions of independent and well-known sources per WP:BLP is not shown. No other option than to delete.

Fails WP:NSONG with insufficient in-depth discussion in sources. The edm.com and weraveyou.com pieces look like paid promotion. The celebmix.com piece was written by "Heiko" who does not appear to be a music critic. Binksternet (talk) 14:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I created the article because i thought that a charting single from two artists that are currently on major labels (one of them sold more than 60 milion singles in the US only) was relevant. The edm.com and weraveyou.com pieces don't look like paid promotion to me. They are known professional blogs specialized on the genre of the artist that made the song, that assumption looks gratuitous to me.

I've attempted to redirect this however it's been contested. I have no doubt this person is notable however there isn't enough for a standalone article. This is a 13 day old infant and should be redirected and merged into the parent article until such a time there is independent notability.also as a matter of respect and basic decency, it seems wildly inappropriate to have such an article on a 13 day old child CUPIDICAE💕14:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the above reasoning + the fact that the infant is days old, untitled, etc. If Brooksbank eventually meets independent notability, a page can easily be created for the then.--Bettydaisies (talk) 18:39, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – The likely intent of his parents is for him to avoid undue public attention by eschewing any public role. Thus, notable accomplishments reported on by the media are unlikely, especially in the near term. Senator2029❮talk❯19:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above. A babe-in-arms is not a notable figure, no matter the parents. This article will one day have reason to exist as a stand-alone piece. Now is not that time. WP:RECENTISM seems in play here: there really is no rush to create a page. doktorbwordsdeeds00:08, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Czech avantgarde/progressive death metal band. They are awesome, but unfortunately, they are not notable. The article does not have any reliable sources (the Allmusic page which would be the sole reliable one, is just a track listing and user reviews which are no support for notability). Searching is difficult due to the band name (Google always recommends "tooth band"), so I tried with a few of their albums. Couldn't find anything besides the usual suspects (databases, youtube videos, streaming links, download links, retail sites and blogs). Totally underground band which hasn't achieved any reliable coverage. The sourcing isn't any better on the other wikis either. Maybe there are print coverage but I can't track them down. As always, I am happy to be proven wrong. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 14:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I wonder if the odd punctuation of their name leads to inaccurate web searches. Also beware of stuff related to Tooh (song). For the Czech band, they have some basic entries at not-so-reliable genre sites like Metal Archives and an empty page at AllMusic, and that's about it. No reliable coverage of the band's history or pro reviews of any albums. They're underground by choice, but too underground to qualify for an article here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 02:25, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not meet the WP:GNG. It can only be sourced to primary sources or other sources sponsored by the creators, which starts to cross the line into WP:NOTPROMO. Cannot find significant coverage in reliable third party sources, outside of passing mentions. Jontesta (talk) 19:01, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Monty Python is over 50 years old now and really doesn't need any promotional assistance from Wikipedia. And it gets plenty regardless from our regular use of spam, trout and silly arguments. Anyway, there's plenty of coverage in the numerous books about Python including Monty Python: From the Flying Circus to Spamalot and Monty Python's Flying Circus – An Utterly Complete, Thoroughly Unillustrated, Absolutely Unauthorized Guide to Possibly All the References. And there's naturally lots of spillover. Harry Potter pinched its chocolate frog and cockroach clusters from the sketch and people have actually made these, as documented in Reading Harry Potter and the like. There's also a record label which takes its name from the sketch too. When a topic is so influential, it is not reasonable to delete the original. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge a summary to Monty Python sketches (which is a very sad list at this point). I am seeing many mentions in passing but no in-depth coverage/analysis to warrant keeping this as a stand-alone article (but ping me if such sources are found so I can reconsider my vote). PS. After merge, disambiguate the topic between the sketch and the label, or course. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here02:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I find this sort of "episodes and characters" AfD against longstanding articles about iconic shows to be demoralizing and unproductive. The encyclopedia is not bettered by stripping out valued content in this way. Newyorkbrad (talk) 06:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Andrew. Also concur with NYB about the value of this sort of AfD -- what's the goal here, to delete an article older than some editors about massively influential popular culture because "I haven't heard of it, and in theory it could be promotional for a show that stopped airing in 1974"? Vaticidalprophet (talk) 07:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I would argue that this actually does meet WP:GNG (if I had paid for an argument). This is one of the favorite sketches from their early days when there was little media coverage of BBC programmes and only DARPA had the internet. It is sufficiently iconic that it only needs passing mentions to conjure up remembrance among many. Houston Chronicle [9] described upcoming performances of "some of their best-loved sketches - including the "dead parrot" and the "crunchy frog" skits from their heyday" and Terry Jones' obit in Rolling Stone [10] invokes it with a simple "in Monty Python’s box of chocolates, he was always the crunchy frog".
But beyond those hat tips for fans, the Chronicle of Higher Education [11] references an academic paper on the difficulty of translating Crunchy Frog sketch to Polish. And in the NY Times on April 18, 1976 [12] (sorry, subscribers only) an entire paragraph is devoted to describing every aspect of the sketch in a detailed story of the Pythons, to highlight why one should avoid buying products in their "nonsense world." LizardJr8 (talk) 17:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we need to stop the allowance of things just because they are said to be "well known" when there is no actual show of reliable source coverage of the matter. Wikipedia also does not have a grandfather clause, and in the early wild west days of Wikipedia there was no regulation of article creation, so we need to stop allowing length of existence as an argument to keep an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:31, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Johnpacklambert. "Well known" is a subjective idea. Wikipedia is based on significant coverage and there are no sources that meet that. Even for the licensed Monty Python guide, Notability has a requirement for independent sources. A merge would be acceptable if there is a suitable target. Shooterwalker (talk) 18:00, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (with or without merge) A google book search for {"Monty Python" -wikipedia} find a pleather of hits a Google book search for {"Crunchy Frog Monty Python" -wikipedia} does not even find a enough to consider as minor mentions. A Google book search for {"Trade Description Act Monty Python" -wikipedia} find lots of hits so possibly a rename to Trade Description Act leaving a redirect. To me it is clear that "Crunchy Frog" is not notable, if the skit is notable the Wikipedia article should be Trade Description Act as supported by references. (which would need to address the redirect to Trade Descriptions Act 1968) Jeepday (talk) 18:11, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is a slightly confusing !vote -- it's nominally a delete, but the rationale appears to be that the article has the wrong title ("Trade Description Act" simply being the on-paper name for "the crunchy frog skit"). What merge would be performed? Trade Descriptions Act 1968 is, as you note, on an entirely unrelated topic except for the matter of inspiring the skit's shape. This sounds like a WP:RM-post-AfD matter. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 08:55, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is where symantics gets the better of people. Technically is there enough to meet gng? Probably not, as although there is multiple coverage none of it is SIGCOV. However the impact of the sketch cannot be questioned outside of wiki rules as being notable, as per argument provided by the LizardJr8. The problem is that Television coverage in press or books was hardly done prior to the 1980s other than listings, and we are judging evidence based on the modern world. I would argue that if the article is kept it should be changed to Trade Descriptions Act (Crunchy Frog) or Crunchy Frog (Trades Description Act). I have raised this issue on the Wikipedia Notability project on Television.Davidstewartharvey (talk) 12:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Grossly inaccurate if not outright false nomination statement. The assertion that the subject "can only be sourced to primary sources or other sources sponsored by the creator" is palpably ridiculous and easily refuted; it's clear that none of the advocates of deletion bothered to do a minimally adequate WP:BEFORE effort. Just clicking on the NYTimes link in the AFD header immediately turns up a relatively lengthy 1976 piece which selects the sketch as a paradigm of Pythonesque humor and sets it out in detail, with comments. A basic Gscholar search turns up dozens of references, ranging from a statistics text to a scholarly book on classical music which describes one of Offenbach's works as "the unwanted crunchy frog in the box of operatic chocolates." Other Gsearches turn up all sorts of places and entities named "Crunchy Frog," all taking the name after the sketch was widely known, in homage to it, clearly demonstrating real-world impact. The several uninformed delete comments serve mainly to show the level of intellectual sloth that pervades AFD these days, an corrosive opposition to knowledge that increasingly damages this encyclopedia day upon day upon day. So, once again, strong keep (and don't frost with glucose! This nonsensical proposal should not be sugarcoated!) The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I originally closed this as "merge", but with a note that I would relist instead if challenged. That has now happened, and so I am doing this.

Comment: I'm not totally sold on the sources presented, but am running into a lot of paywalls and offline newspaper articles, so I can't say for certain what's out there. Therefore, this is neither a !vote to keep nor delete. (Maybe merging is the best solution.) However, the idea that Monty Python is using Wikipedia to self-promote is patently ridiculous. Monty Python is one of the most well-known comedy groups in the world. They do not need to use Wikipedia to promote themselves, and if Wikipedia did not exist they would not vanish into obscurity.

Strong Keep This is a seminal skit from a seminal TV show by a seminal comedy troupe. It also was an important cut in one of the Pythons' most popular comedy albums ("Monty Python's Instant Record Collection"). I hope that four weeks from now I'm not met by the "Spring Surprise" that the article has been deleted. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 01:06, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Nice one, Porn King. I've added to the article, although there is the {{for|the Danish record label|Crunchy Frog Records}} template at the top already. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:26, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge I'm also not sold on the sources. Even the title of the sketch is unsourced (the actual sketch is called "Trade Descriptions Act"). I understand the fandom around Monty Python but there's just not any real coverage to write an article from. My philosophy is to WP:PRESERVE content but I'm disappointed by the bald !votes that I personally believe undermine that mission in the long run. Archrogue (talk) 18:44, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion has provided numerous reliable sources as to the sketch's notability, and if the article itself lacks such citations then surely the solution is to add the citations to the article, not delete the whole thing.
And as for the use of the colloquial name of the sketch in the title, this is perfectly acceptable, and even preferable--after all, the article on the famous painting is called "Whistler's Mother," not "Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1"--and the discussion herein has provided numerous secondary sources referring to the sketch as "Crunchy Frog" (as well as specific record albums that use the colloquial name for such cut).
I think that the Crunchy Frog article can be improved, as is the case for just about every article on Wikipedia, and that the information cited herein provides quite a bit of the material for such improvement. But as for the question being considered here--whether the article's subject matter meets Wikipedia's notability standard--I don't believe that it's a close question, as the cited reliable sources make clear. AuH2ORepublican (talk) 13:33, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The article's title has no relevance to this debate. And whatever the "official" title, Crunchy Frog is the WP:COMMONNAME. I've provided a source above where the co-writer of the sketch (Cleese) refers to it as "crunchy frog."-- P-K3 (talk) 15:24, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A BLP violation and (presumed) autobiography, that has only survived because the original BLP PROD was declined for having one reference, and skirts the edges of speedy because of a small amount of sourcing like this. However, that's just not enough for a BLP. The creator / subject has been tinkering with it for the last five years, presumably completely unaware that this is a completely inappropriate subject for a general purpose encyclopedia. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)11:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Spiderone, It lasted because of a mis-timing of events. The article was tagged for BLP PROD, then marked as reviewed when the article still had the tag on it. Then the BLP PROD was declined ([13]) as against policy, with the suggestion to use another deletion venue; however the original tagger didn't follow it up (because they weren't notified) and nobody else followed it up (because the article was tagged as reviewed, falling off the NPP queue). The lesson here is - don't tag an article as reviewed at NPP while there are deletion tags on it. Ritchie333(talk)(cont)13:12, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article has a link to the book as its only source. I've found it hard to find secondary coverage online.

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails WP:NCORP.

Delete on simply the name basis. We have very little clue how if these are meant to be "fictional" universes from the real one (only a few games purposely set this out, like No Man's Sky). If they are meant to be "fictional locations" as Dream Focus suggested, then the inclusion metric must absolutely be nailed down as there's far too many fictional locations in video games and that is a WP:TNT rational. Eg List of fictional planets, list of fictional countries, etc. -- and that might start going down too much of a rabbit hole. --Masem (t) 16:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I love a good list article but this one makes little to no sense for multiple reasons. First, many of the entries in the "universe" field make no sense. For example, the Fallout games are set in the same "universe," just in different locations in the world. Similarly, why are there two different "universes" for The Sims 3? Second, this list is almost completely unsourced, suggesting that most of this is just OR or subjective opinions. Third, as others have pointed out, this is really something that is better suited for a category (if anything) than a list. Fourth, this list is potentially so broad as to be an indiscriminate grouping of things. In other words, every game or series is, theoretically, part of its own universe. That means that this list could potentially have tens of thousands of entries and be completely inoperable if it was anywhere close to complete. Sorry to say, but this list needs to go. DocFreeman24 (talk) 00:50, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Is this article a joke? This article makes no sense as even the small amount of video games featured are not right. Why are games listed twice and only sections of them listed?

Several reasons exist to examine this person's notability at AfD.
The page creator, who seems to have undisclosed COI, says on the talk page that "Mr. Ensminger wishes me to delete the entire article as he has no interest in Wikipedia... Mr. Ensminger has decided that the inability of Wikipedia to arrive at some conclusions regarding this page without slandering his name is unacceptable." So that amounts to article subject requests deletion.
I had also wondered about whether he is notable enough, after seeing the article at COIN, where King.parker3's edits were reported COI and the notability of the subject was also questioned. The original state of the article, before (I thought) I cleaned it up is here
Delete Nothing about Ensminger suggests he is so notable we should have an article on him when he does not want us to. In fact nothing suggests he is notable enough to merit an article at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. The subject doesn't seem to be so obviously notable that the public's interest in him would override the possible harm done by keeping the article against the subject's wishes (though we can't be completely sure it's him who posted in the talk). I don't know if the creator of the article has a COI, but unfortunately their efforts to add too much detailed information into the article made the page look promotional instead of a neutral Wikipedia biography, and that's why we ended up here. -kyykaarme (talk) 08:41, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Per HEY rework meaning general coverage is sufficient to show notability. There was an ongoing discussion as to whether the ranking alone would be sufficient, but that particular dispute ended up being rendered moot. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:48, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am nominating this article for deletion because it has not received significant coverage; only two sources are independent of the song, which don't provide much info anyway. Also, it may have reached the charts in multiple countries but was only a top 20 hit in Greece, plus the album sources do not go into detail about the song at all and it has received a total lack of promotion. K. Peake08:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. @The Ultimate Boss:, I'm coming to your defense on this; hope this makes up for my FA review fail. I'm sorry, but given the many chart positions on this plus the prose on the article being a decent amount if a little small, no way should this article be touched with a deletion, redirect or merge; otherwise I'd be filling out a MeToo allegation (I suck at humor, don't I). Sure, it was "only a top 20 hit in Greece," but getting into the top 100 or even 200 of any official country or genre chart in music markets saturated with 100,000 songs is significant, especially getting into the top 100 in nine countries! For certain albums, I do merge together singles into a single page if its only a couple of minor chart positions and coverage unique to the song is nearly non-existent (see what I did with Adventures in Modern Recording), but this is not the case here. HumanxAnthro (talk) 04:43, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
HumanxAnthro See WP:NSONGS: "Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. (Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.)" Furthermore, the article is lacking significant coverage; aside from the announcement, the entirety of the opening section consists of info about the song that is standard for album tracks. The following section does not even give info on the proper meaning of the song, only two sentences, also literally one review is included. --K. Peake07:02, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do you know the only reason why a lot of club hits, despite never having "significant coverage" by professional journalists cause there's no lyrical depth to them (unless we're talking about Eiffel 65's Blue), have Wikipedia pages? One reason: they got on to a shit-ton of charts worldwide, and discography articles couldn't handle listing chart positions for every single damn country for every single because the limit of charts is ten. See "2 Times" by Ann Lee, "I Like to Move It" by Reel 2 Reel and "Open Your Mind" by U.S.U.R.A. for what I'm talking about.
Do you comprehend the chance you have to make it on any if these nationwide charts if you were an artist? 0.1% "May" means very, very likely, and these chart positions are "significant" for a reason. Again, if this song only had a Flanders Tip chart position, I might reconsider, but it landed on what NSONGS would deem "significant" charts on nine countries. The track was in the top 40 in Canada for crying out loud (one position away from the top 30) and was also only one position away from the United States industry standard list of popular music (although on a side note I think the Rolling Stone Top 100 chart is more accurate, but that's a tale for another). You need an insane amount of individuals from these nations *listening* to these songs and *knowing* about it for many repeat listens a track to even have half a chance (f--- it, a quarter chance) of landing on the charts; it needs enough sales, streams, radio plays (which makes the Billboard positions especially relevant as they factor in radio the most, and only, like, the same five new songs play on pop radio nowadayss) to do this.
"the entirety of the opening section consists of info about the song that is standard for album tracks." So f---ing what? Lot's of articles about singles from other artists are the same deal. While I absolutely understand why you'd worry about the "significant coverage" (trust me, I nominated Meet the Woo Tour for merging into other articles for that same reason), the fact is the commercial performance is unique to this song, and so massive for a rap song from an American rapper a redirect or merge would be stupid. Also, this was released as a single; it's not like it's an album-only track that charted for one week as part of an "album bomb" *Cough* Scorpion *Cough*. HumanxAnthro (talk) 10:17, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll admit to be surprised the little amount of album reviews that talked about the track, given that for most other albums, every track would at least have a few reviews discussing them... Still, I stand by what I say. HumanxAnthro (talk) 10:48, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'll state a second option if the lack of non-chart coverage is overbearing. Strong Merge all chart positions (and I mean all of them) into a list of charts of the album's singles (a la that of Bjork's Vespertine but with all countries of this song included), cause that sure indicate's a moderately-performing single commercially and I don't want Canadian Hot 100 or even Bubbling Under Hot 100 positions dug up under the rug. HumanxAnthro (talk) 16:46, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A Pandora award of the song being one of the best of 2020 was just added by The Ultimate Boss. That recognition by literally the second biggest streaming service probably only below Spotify only further establishes the case for this article being kept. HumanxAnthro (talk) 20:38, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An award? It was listed among 50 other songs as receiving the most likes from users on the platform in a particular season of a year. Idk why that couldn't fit into an album article somewhere, if it even needs to be. They didn't "name" it anything as the article misleadingly states. Heartfox (talk) 23:55, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also note that HotNewHipHop is probably an unreliable source. If you click on some of the articles about songs like this (in the "latest songs" column) they are never negative and sometimes lean positive to a promotional degree. This sentiment reflects what they say on their "about" page: "We are quickly becoming the premium destination for hip hop music and a promotional powerhouse for established artists and rising stars." Therefore, this article has zero reliable sources that cover the song independent of an album. Heartfox (talk) 07:44, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
? I'm not the determiner of that. I just stated my opinion that I think it is problematic but that RSMUSIC thought it was reliable. Heartfox (talk) 22:40, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (to Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon) or Weak keep -- I normally do not think charting automatically makes a song notable, but this song did chart on seven national charts (minus NZ Heatseekers and US Bubbling), which is more than a few charts. Hardly any song could have such an impact. I would like to see the creator (The Ultimate Boss) to expand the article regarding the song's music and lyrics. If another round of source review turns out to be fruitless, however, then redirect is the way to go. A "charted singles" section can be created in the album's article to retain charting information of this single (like the example at OK Computer#Singles).

The result was delete. Consensus that NPOL is not met, without sufficient non-local coverage to show notability in the subject's position. Creator hasn't noted addition of sourcing in a week. For clarity's sake, I should note that the presence of articles for other members of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors doesn't infer notability here - if nothing else, their articles may also not show notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 20:54, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. County board of supervisors is not an "inherently" notable role that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia, but this article is not actually demonstrating a reason to deem him more special than the norm. It certainly thinks it is, if you eyeball its length alone — but when you actually analyze the content, you notice that it's padded with a lot of trivia that isn't adding anything of noteworthy substance (an entire paragraph devoted just to the legal definition of "unincorporated community" has nothing whatsoever to do with making Miley notable, frex), and that it's referenced far, far too heavily to primary sources that aren't support for notability at all. You have to plod all the way to footnote #24 (skip past #23, it's a blog) just to get to the first real media outlet, and even that source isn't about Nate Miley, but merely namechecks his existence in the process of being about something else. And just two more hits after that, you're back in primary source territory again. As always, the notability test for politicians does not hinge on the ability to use the city or county government's own self-published website as technical verification that the subject exists — it hinges on the depth and geographic range of his media coverage, and there's not nearly enough of that here to make him more notable than the norm for a not automatically notable role. Bearcat (talk) 05:34, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, my name is Kendall Harris and I made the wikipedia page for Nate Miley. I have been working closely with Miley's Communications Advisor and receiving many updates from them. So I am a little confused on why I need to have sources that are not exclusively "local", when his role is not international, hence there would solely be domestic sources detailing his role. Also, I have gotten information from press releases so I am confused on how to cite them because they are a downloadable pdf sent to me directly (so if I could have guidance on that, that would be great!). I was also wondering if you could point out the "padded trivia" as I am not sure to what you are referring with this term. It also would be helpful if you could explain what "media" coverage is, as my understanding is that media coverage refers to articles on websites. Finally, again if you could explain "geographic range" as I am confused on how this applies to a member in public government who is solely responsible for a certain district. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendallh2021 (talk • contribs) 06:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for starters, the fact that his role is local rather than international places a much higher burden of proof onto your shoulders to justify why he needs to be in Wikipedia at all. We don't just keep articles about every single person in the world who holds office at the local city or county levels — to get a person into Wikipedia on that basis, you need to show a credible reason why he's significantly more special than most other county councillors, and it is not enough to just verify that he exists. That's why you need to show more than just local sources: because you need to show a reason why anybody outside Alameda County should care. We're an international encyclopedia, not an Alamedapedia, so the notability test for politicians at the city or county levels is not "does he exist": it's "is there a reason why somebody on the other side of the country or the world needs this article to exist?"
You can't honestly need somebody to actually define "media" for you: but media is not just any webpage that exists, it's newspapers and magazines and radio or television stations and books. It's not blogs, it's not the city's own website about itself, it's not the websites of organizations — it's stuff written by real journalists, in real media outlets that people consult when they want to know the news, independently of the subject.
Hello Bearcat. Thank you for the quick response and answers to my question. This is my first time crafting a Wikipedia Article so please excuse my lack of knowledge. Also, my apologies for the lack of specificity in regards to the phrase "working closely", I simply meant I am in the process of retrieving reputable sources (press releases) from them. So in order for my article to not get deleted, I am wondering what are the concrete steps I need to take? I understand that I need to prove his notability and I will also be in the process of that as he has pioneered many things and I am sure that I will be able to provide the sources and fulfill the other requirements Wikipedia says. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendallh2021 (talk • contribs) 06:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Press releases from the subject aren't acceptable sourcing, because they aren't independent of the subject if he or his communications staff wrote the press releases themselves. You need journalism in media outlets, not press releases self-authored by the subject's own staff, to make a person notable enough for inclusion here. Bearcat (talk) 06:31, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ok Bearcat. Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate your diligence and willingness to explain these things to me. After, I retrieve reputable sources, how will I need to prove his notability and what steps will I need to take after that to avoid deletion. Also, what is the timeline like for nominations of deletion, ie. how much time will I get to retrieve these sources and then achieve the following steps to keep from page from being deleted?

Wikipedia does not accept city or county councillors as "inherently" notable just because they exist. City and county councillors have to pass a much higher burden of significance than just being minimally sourceable as existing. Bearcat (talk) 06:20, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While I previously worked to clean this page of gratuitous promotional material after it was listed on Wikipedia:Cleanup, I am sad to say this this page isn't fixable without WP:TNT. Only half of the current members of the Oakland City Council have pages, and I assume there is far more local and regional coverage of current incumbents than Miley, who served from 1992 to 2000. As others have previously mentioned, no source on Miley supports his significance outside of Alameda County. KidAd ⑊ SPEAK09:37, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pages must be evaluated individually. I'm not saying that it's impossible for people in the same position to be notable, but they need to have accrued WP:RS coverage and meet WP:NPOL. KidAd ⑊ SPEAK18:59, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi KidAd. OK, I just looked at Keith Carson's page: https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Qlik&lang=&q=Keith_Carson. And under the references and in the content there are no mentions of any significance of his role outside of Alameda County, so I am confused as to why you drew that point to the page about Miley yet there is no mentions of this on Keith Carson's page. Also, for the notable sources, I looked on Keith Carson's page and there is a website that has information provided by himself and other media sources. And in my page I included sources from and not limited to: The San Francisco Examiner, East Bay Times, East Bay Citizens, and SFGate. So what other sources do I need to consult in order to avoid my page being deleted and how should I prove his notability, if he doesn't have an international impact (similar to Keith Carson)? Thank you. Also this is similar to Wilma Chan, who also has her own Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=Qlik&lang=&q=Wilma_Chan. Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendallh2021 (talk • contribs) 20:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi KidAd. Ok thank you for letting me know. Would I be able to add the reputable sources and this would allow the page to be published, also I forgot to mention this, but this was a first draft and it was my mistake to move it into Wikipedia as I meant to keep it in my sandbox. Hence, would I be allowed to move the article back into the sandbox, add the sources, and then move it back to Wikipedia and gain feedback from editors like yourself? Thank you again and my apologies for the misunderstanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendallh2021 (talk • contribs) 23:35, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the site of the huge O'Neill wine complex, the successor to the winery mentioned by Durham. It also appears to have been the site of a SP-SF crossover; the SF line is gone, but part has been retained as a spur into the plant. An apartment complex generates a ton of false GHits but I couldn't find anything else except the typical rail-related hits and direct references to the winery. Not a notable place, and not a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 03:35, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Mangoe. I went through Google Scholar, Books, and Search and found nothing that can be added to what Mango found. Also found nothing significant while searching JSTOR and Internet Archive. Paul H. (talk) 04:46, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CommentCategory:Magical girl exist and lists are always more useful than categories. The genre of Magical girl is quite well defined. Unfortunately all the blue links seem to lead to the series they are in, not a page for the individual girls. For the list to be valid, it needs to link to enough character articles. DreamFocus16:33, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of magical girl works - As Dream Focus said, most of the blue links here are just links to various series, not to individual, notable characters. This makes this a rather redundant WP:FORK for that already existing list. Thus, redirecting this to the actual sourced list of Magical Girl works would be the best solution for now. Rorshacma (talk) 17:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I actually just noticed that the List of magical girl works was just recently created by this AFD's nominator, likely as a response to this list, so this article being a WP:FORK as I said above is not actually accurate. But, it still makes more sense for the list of notable series to take precedent over this list of largely not-independently-notable individual characters, so my suggestion for the Redirect still stands. Rorshacma (talk) 17:35, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Largely because outside of a few examples, such as the Sailor Moon characters, none of these characters actually have their own articles - the links here just lead to the articles on the series they come or for the the character lists for said series. Thus, it really just serves the same function as the List of magical girl works, just in an increasingly overly long fashion. Rorshacma (talk) 15:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of magical girl works, or delete. Rorshacma sums it up quite nicely: This is redundant to the point of being indiscriminate. Information about individual MG characters should be listed in the articles or character lists for those works. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:47, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Magical girl. There isn't much of a list and these become subjective and hard to verify. It is better to cover examples in an article where this can be described better. Archrogue (talk) 18:53, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find a single reliable source except for the short, archived references from the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun. Unless there is more news coverage of this website that I missed then I really don't think it's notable. TipsyElephant (talk) 16:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The two sources are multiple and enough to satisfy GNG, and The Washington Post and Baltimore Sun are excellent sources. The articles suggest that multiple news sites also used the cartoons created, evidenced by the San Francisco Chronicle/SFGATE link. The Baltimore Sun link currently provided is a strange archive link... It only links the abstract and not the article. After searching for a better archive, the full text was pasted in this forum, and if you have Newspapers.com access, it made the front page of the sports section here, taking up most of the page (thanks to some of the cartoons), and then being continued on a subsequent page (still taking most of the page). It shouldn't matter that the Post piece is archived, but that piece also spans two webpages (well over WP:100W), and it technically is live, (though for some reason the image is only retained in the archive vice live site). The article should probably be trimmed, though. -- 2pou (talk) 16:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Porsche 996. Consensus the issue doesn't warrant its own page.
I have merged in a couple of key lines, although if someone has specific changes they want to make, that's obviously also fine.
I've redirected post the merge since that seems to be what the participants wanted in aggregate. If any of the three disagree please let me know. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:09, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure this belongs in a encyclopedia the information can likely be merged into the Porsche 996 article as we do not have articles on every possible automotive issue and most of the sources seem to be low quality sources 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 (talk) 00:27, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, possibly merge a couple of sentences (one briefly explaining the problem, another for the lawsuit). Even notorious issues with fatalities may not warrant standalone articles, e.g. the Ford Pinto's fuel tank problem. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:35, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. There are very strong points for keeping from experienced editors and sufficient policies are invoked. Apart from that, the nominator is indefinitely blocked for advertising, so the nomination could be a bad faith one to delete competitors' pages.

Note On a review of gnews, Techcrunch read like routine fundraising coverage. Same for the Fortune piece, which, too, is routine coverage based on a press release about $12 million in funding. You could be right but I do think this is closer to a deletion than a keep but we shall see. Mazurkevin (talk) 03:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even read these? The earlier TechCrunch piece does not mention fundraising anywhere; it is about layoffs and turnover at the board level, while also delving somewhat into the history of the company in a way that implies that the journalist, not the company, finds it notable. The later TechCrunch piece is a follow-up to that, by the same journalist, which also goes into significantly more detail including interviews with people outside the company, and reporting on the aforementioned turnover. The Forbes article is further reporting on that turnover. I don't know what's in the Fortune piece, as it is paywalled; if you have read the un-paywalled article I would certainly like to hear it.

Per WP:CORPDEPTH: "For the coverage to be significant, the sources must describe and discuss in some depth the treatment of the employees or major changes in leadership instead of just listing the fact that the corporation employs 500 people or mentioning that John Smith was appointed as the new CEO." I fail to see any possible interpretation of the sources provided that does not qualify as discussing in some depth the major changes in leadership, among other things.

The result was keep. This appears to have been a bad faith nomination and the sockpuppetry is disregarded. I am not sure what policy/guideline based argument is made by the remaining delete !vote but as it has been demonstrated and agreed that there is sourcing that meets GNG the result is keep.

Comment I'm not sure I follow the deletion argument. This appears to be a referenced article about an esports league. It's had a bit of suspicious editing activity, but even ignoring banned users, it seems to have been edited by a number of people, and is referenced to news articles from different sources. What am I missing? ApLundell (talk) 04:50, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Stalwart's cross-border collaboration project was covered by Vice, Dot Esports, and The Indian Express. There's also this in the Economic Times and this in the Esports Observer, which WP:VG considers reliable. I wouldn't rely on the AFK Gaming site for notability, but I don't think this article needs to. I'm also pretty confident that users like SavingWikiFromSpaming aren't exactly operating in good faith, as their only edits are to !vote delete on esports AfDs and file spurious SPIs.
