Delete: for reason given in nomination. The lack of independent sourcing makes the whole thing read like a press release. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:45, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi
Please could you clarify what you mean by 'lack of independent sourcing'. The majority of the citations are from independent sources including Sky News, The Independent and The Financial Times. Certain points have been substantiated via the company's homepage and their annual report but this has also been done on HomeServe,Legal & General and Admiral Group.
This is not supposed to act as a press release or as a marketing tool but appreciate your point. Would it benefit from adding in any new sections?
If you take a look at the article in the independent, for example - the many, many external links in the article are via Linkby which indicates that Domestic and General are paying for them. Which is why there's so many external links - you wouldn't normally see that many in a newspaper article. It's an advertorial, not independent coverage. -- D'n'B-t -- 20:04, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete: This is an odd one: a firm over 100 years old, whose products are used by 1/3 of UK households according to a 2019 Bloomberg item("Abu Dhabi Fund to Buy 30% of Domestic & General Group"), previously a plc but taken private then changing hands several times. But the problem is that despite their name recognition and near-ubiquity in domestic appliance warranty, there's not a lot of coverage outside announcements of the firm changing hands, which falls under trivial coverage at WP:CORPDEPTH. I am close to saying "But it's notable!" but unless better coverage can be found, would have to say it falls short on WP:NCORP. AllyD (talk) 14:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback!
Here are three topics aside from the firm taking hands that have led to coverage that I would argue isn't trivial.
Regarding the weight to be placed on items about offices, partnerships and acquisitions, see the Standard notices points under WP:CORPTRIV. The City AM piece is bylined, but is ultimately a summary of announcement PR quotes. Coverage about the present CEO is relative to that person more than the company. You ask about what can "showcase" notability; in a way that is indicative of the problem of an article contributed by an editor with connection to the company at present. What is lacking is the longer perspective: substantial coverage about the firm's history. AllyD (talk) 12:40, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep
I would argue that Domestic & General is newsworthy in its own right in particular when opening new offices and through its CEO Matthew Crummack. Not in the sense that the business inherits notability through Crummack, but that his decisions for the business are often of note in the media.
It is a global company that employs over 3000 people and partners with hundreds of manufacturers to provide appliance warranty to 1 in 3 homes in the UK. I understand that ubiquity in homes does not necessarily mean 'notability' but I would ask that some of the references sources are revisited as "reliable sources independent of the organization have given significant coverage to it".

Too limited in coverage. Out of the sources here, two are announcements (one focused more on the graphic novel with little to say about the soundtrack), two are profiles that only briefly mention this release (one gives a small paragraph and the other just a sentence), and the review from Sputnik which has never given me the most confidence as a source. And having found nothing else, I don't see notability met. I suggest a redirect to Poppy (singer)#2019–2020: I Disagree where the subject is mentioned in prose, with potential to merge and expand it to its own paragraph.

Research shows Milo helped launch a fund called Joyful Ventures to invest in food sustainable companies and co-founded non-profit Mercy for Animals. The mainstream news coverage where his name appears are about the fund launch (and then very little else), and he is only mentioned as one of the cofounders, and there doesn’t seem to be mainstream coverage of Mercy for Animals in connection with him (or in general really). Not clear he has enough mainstream coverage to hit the notability bar. Jenny8lee (talk) 22:14, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is insufficient information to support the subject of this article's notability.

Non notable article about Pourosova (aka municipality) mayor position (don't be confused with city corporation mayor). In the past we have deleted many mayoral articles elected to this position e.g. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Md. Ziaul Haq (Juyel) as the position isn't considered automatically notable per WP:NPOL. There are some refs on the article but it's completely unrelated. Fails WP:GNG.
Sylhet is a major Bangladeshi city, so it makes sense that an article about the mayor of Sylhet exists. Whereas according to the infobox, Golapganj has a population of around 40,000. I don't know about any Bengali sources but in English at least, the only thing I can find is one incident, which is not enough for its own page.
And WP:NPOL does say that in the first bullet point, being the mayor of a city isn't at the international, national or state/province level, therefore there is no notability. Procyon117 (talk) 13:20, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you're talking about. Upazila (3rd level administrative division) is administered by Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) and not by mayor. Municipalities (aka Pourosova) are one of lower level (4th level) administrative areas in Bangladesh, as i said, Pourosova (aka municipality) mayor position isn't considered automatically notable per WP:NPOL. You have to provide significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and talks about this Golapganj Mayor position. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 16:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe I have found a hoax as part of WP:NOV24. It seems unusual to me that a US Army fort established in 1890 and was used through World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and present as claimed by the article would have no online presence; newspapers.com results in North Carolina for Fort Greene are referring to fortifications elsewhere, and there's no mention of a Fort Greene in North Carolina in Hanning's "Forts of the United States". I have found some evidence of a "Camp Green" in NC that existed from 1917-1919, but I cannot find anything supporting the existence of this or the specific claims in the article. A review of the page creator's talk page suggests that the page creator had a history of creating hoaxes. Hog FarmTalk22:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Not a hoax, but this is definitely referring to Camp Greene, which we already have an article on. Henry Hill and George Johnson (World War I supercentenarian) were both trained there. SilverserenC23:15, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be hesistant to call this not a hoax. This article claims (and has since 2007) It was established in 1890 and was used through World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and present. The facility trains U.S. Army soldiers and National Guard soldiers. Camp Greene was in existence from 1917-1919, so the claims about 1890, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the present day all appear to be patently false. Hog FarmTalk23:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to Henry Hill, Hill trained at Fort Bragg (which makes sense given his service with the 82nd Airborne Division). He was also born in 1943, meaning he couldn't have been anyplace near Camp Greene. Intothatdarkness21:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Camp Greene, per Silver seren. Even if the information currently in the nominated article is a hoax, the title can still be redirected, given the commonality of using both "Fort" and "Camp" for military installations. BD2412T15:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's a nuance with the names, though. In US Army use Camp typically indicates a temporary installation, while Fort means the location is going to be developed further and used for an extended period. You will see camps absorbed by forts (Camp Funston on Fort Riley, for example) as their projected temporary missions become more permanent, but never the reverse.

Comment: I've found a few sources about Maxine and/or her musical group The Waters. Another option would be deleting all the individual pages for the members of the group and making a single page for The Waters.
Keep. I see a WP:GNG pass based on WP:SIGCOV in the Washington Post piece raised above and the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom. However, I agree with Rainsage that it might be better to create a single page for the Waters. That's a decision that can be made editorially, though, since the sources support a "keep" here. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:42, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We have here a good example of WP:BLP1E, a person whose purported notability is tied to a single event, i.e. a single beauty pageant event. There are three sources which are difficult to evaluate as a non-Portuguese reader; however, they note a) the pageant win and b) a couple of appearances at charity events in support of the pageant, including a (possibly public??) breast exam. This is way too thin to support the general notability guideline, and there are no SNGs that could apply here. ☆ Bri (talk) 16:02, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I could find GNG in several sources of independent of subject. Check the Sout Africanhere, I could find this, another by AngoRussia here, more here by Forbes Africa, also covered here in general. I could also stumble into this reported by subject's embassies in foreign countries. Again, you could not tag an article for AfD simply because it has less sources. That is the exact use of the template tags unless subject entirely has no traces of GNG. An article's sources being in foreign language other than in English is not a genuine reason for that. Otherwise, at very least, I would suggest redirecting it to Miss Angola, but then with pinged sources above, I go with keep. Hope the mentioned above can be used to sustain the article per WP:NEXIST--Tumbuka Arch (talk) 08:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rebuttal: The Opais link you gave here is already in the article, and I dealt with its thinness in the deletion nomination. The embassy link provides just three sentences on the pageant, one of which is about the judges and not the subject of this bio. The South African gives us a bulleted list of stuff in the pageant handout like birth place and star sign, but nothing of substance for a biography – certainly nothing that could be used to expand the article. The Forbes article says very little at all, but notes she has an afro, a red swimsuit, and an unnamed "social project", but nothing really about the person. AngoRussia, a single sentence mentioning birthplace, area of study, and country of residence, nothing more. These, like the original sources, are shallow and/or in-passing and tied to the single event, which just underscores this is a BLP1E situation. ☆ Bri (talk) 14:06, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An award is not an event, that passes, it’s an honour, that remains, and BLP1E does not apply imv. The guideline does not mention awards, at least, unless I missed it, whereas ANYBIO does. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank)14:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is based on entirely primary sources. Fails GNG. Curiously the article says sources retrieved in Sept 2024 and March 2022 when the article was just created. This source is not indepth and this one is a small 1 line mention of Mali. LibStar (talk) 22:28, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Liz - thanks for the ping. I'd originally suggested redirecting to European Union Training Mission in Mali. I'm still open to that - but I was actually hoping to hear back from @LibStar who'd made the nomination and asked questions about sourcing, but not responded to what has been presented so far. Also, looking back at their comment: "relations are more broad than the European Union Training Mission in Mali, so oppose redirect." - which is not clear to me; if the sources at this point show that relations are essentially only related to the deployment, how can it be "more"? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 05:46, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Those bilateral relations articles that have been redirected are linked to Foreign relations of X article. So redirecting to EU Training Mission article seems to be an exception rather than the norm. LibStar (talk) 05:52, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While it was the strongest in the immediate area within the last 120 years, it had limited effects like buckled roads and cracked plaster, so I think this one probably fails WP:EVENT. Dawnseeker200022:26, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. WP:N(EQ) states that notable earthquakes should garner significant media coverage, which this one did (even non-Australian media outlets such as CNN reported on it) and it was mentioned in news reports into 2024 (see here). WP:N(EQ) also states, however, that shaking of intensity VII or greater is generally necessary for notability, which this earthquake did not reach, although in my view notability should not be defined by the magnitude or intensity. Personally, I would keep this article, but I would understand totally if it is deleted. Redtree21 (talk) 11:08, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't qualify for WP:NORG or WP:GNG. Has received very basic routine coverage which amounts it "this also exists".

Keep-ish: I have rewritten the article, which I found a bit disjointed, and found another source which seems to have an independent editorial stance. I would fall on the side of a "week Keep" for the article. If another independent source could be found, I would upgrade to a strong Keep. Guinness323 (talk) 20:55, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I proposed this for deletion with the reason "None of the sources are reliable, independent sources giving significant attention to this building. Databases, sources from companies related to the building, an apartment for sale... are not the sources needed to create an article on the apparently 3033rd highest building in the world. Are there indepth, non-routine, independent sources about this building? Its architecture, controversies, archaeological finds during construction, anything?"
Since then, the poorest sources have been removed, but nothing was done about the fundamental issues. If there is only routine coverage, unreliable sources, and database entries for this building, then it shouldn't have an article. Fram (talk) 14:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My vote is Keep as of now. I'm seeing that you're probably concerned about the WP:TOOSOON criteria in this case. However, the article proposed for deletion can be expanded by other users in time. There is no need to tag it with a deletion notice yet. Other Hong Kong building articles such as Sino Plaza and The Westpoint can freely function as stubs when they are based on the same type of primarily database references until additional citations are found. Maybe the
Buildings, including private residences, transportation facilities and commercial developments, may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability.

Delete About as an average of a condo tower as you can get.

Weak delete I'm honestly waffling between weak keep and weak delete here, as the building has been discussed in at least one English-language Hong Kong architectural book (Xue 2016), in part because it's built on top of a transit station and for being a "pencil tower." I don't really mind if this is deleted, as the articles that have been found appear to be transactional real estate articles, and I'm not sure notability is guaranteed here just because it's been in one architectural book. I think my position is that we haven't entirely demonstrated notability, but we might be a source away. SportingFlyerT·C01:46, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The book added by Underwaterbuffalo is the one I found, but the scholarly article is just two listing in two tables. It is helpful, but it doesn't push this into a clear keep. SportingFlyerT·C08:25, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - and restore content at the original article from which this was taken from. This was an undiscussed an unnecessary split. The page basically appears to be an arbitrary WP:POVFORK along the lines of WP:CRITS. Looks like it can probably be closed speedily per WP:SNOW clause.

WP:BLP of a film producer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for film producers. As always, producers are not "inherently" notable just because their films exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage about them and their work -- but this just states that he exists without stating any discernible notability claim over and above existing, and cites only directory entries for "referencing" rather than anything that would get him over GNG. Bearcat (talk) 19:45, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BLP of an actress, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they've had acting roles to list -- even if you're shooting for NACTOR #1, "has had significant roles in multiple notable films", that still has to be supported by WP:GNG-worthy third-party coverage about them and their careers in reliable sources, and is not passed just by listing roles per se. But this article is referenced entirely to IMDb and Q&A interviews in which she and her husband are talking about themselves in the first person, which are not notability-building sources. Simply existing as a working actor is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt a performer from having to pass GNG on better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:27, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notable Kenyan businessman fails WP:GNG, WP:NBIO None of the coverage is WP:SIGCOV of him, it's all focused on the companies he works for or on his father, from whom notability cannot be WP:INHERITED. The last AfD resulted in draftification at the request of the page creator, but the article was returned by its creator to mainspace with no improvements, so I would not support that alternative again. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:53, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is a highly WP:PROMO article about a local pot shop. While the paid editor is to be commended for using AfC for this article, it still fails WP:NCORP for failure to meet WP:ORGCRIT with multiple instances of WP:SIGCOV in WP:SIRS. I've included an assessment table below. There's a single source (a design blog) that probably qualifies; nothing else meets all the required criteria.
Created with templates {{ORGCRIT assess table}} and {{ORGCRIT assess}} This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor.
Keep: Thank you for your review. I’d like to address the concerns raised about notability and sourcing and provide additional context to support the article’s inclusion. I understand that some sources may be viewed as routine or promotional. However, publications like *Cannabis Business Times* and *The Villager* provide relevant and independent coverage. Since legal cannabis is a new and heavily regulated field, mainstream media coverage is understandably limited, but these industry-specific sources highlight the subject’s importance within its niche. The article also highlights milestones that go beyond routine business activities, such as being one of the first dispensaries to open after legalization, positioning the company as an early contributor to New York’s cannabis market. Its rebranding reflects growth and commitment to expansion, while its partnership with The Doe Fund, including hiring program graduates, addresses equity issues tied to past drug policies. These achievements illustrate the company’s broader impact on the industry and community. If the consensus is that the article needs further work, I’d request it be moved to Draft Space for improvement as additional independent coverage becomes available. I appreciate your time and welcome any feedback on strengthening the article. Stephvrona (talk) 22:42, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not currently meet WP:GNG for a stand-alone biography. The references provided are primarily primary sources (club websites, match reports, and statistics), which are not sufficient to demonstrate the player's notability. — MimsMENTORtalk13:47, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. The player actually plays football matches every week, and it's a pretty good chance more sources will turn up in the next 6-7 months, unless the sources are unearthed already. Geschichte (talk) 15:11, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Last AfD was 7 years ago and closed with no consensus. Since then, there have been no secondary sources written that indicate this person's notability. While he is an author, his books aren't really notable either. Please discuss. Sirocco745 (talk) 08:43, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kotsko has not gained in relevance in the years since the first AfD; back then, some editors argued for keeping the article b/c its subject might become notable. It was a weird argument, and it hasn't panned out. Note how self-referential and promotional the references are. I count around 10 references to Kotsko's blog, e.g. him writing about himself. I suspect some serious lack of NPOV among the editors @Mothomsen03 and @Jtkingsley. Delete. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 13:05, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I guess, for the following reasons. (I have been called to this discussion due to having started the article in 2013, although in the meantime I've pretty much come around to "let's just not have any BLPs at all if we can help it". Anyway.) Kotsko is notable, if at all, for his writing. And indeed he has authored multiple books that meet the first criterion of WP:NBOOK, namely that they have been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. Specifically: Awkwardness was reviewed in The New Inquiry and discussed in depth in Critical Studies in Television (Sage); Creepiness has been reviewed in Critical Inquiry (U of C) and analyzed in depth in Consumption Markets & Culture (T&F); The Prince of This World has reviewed in Theory & Event (JHU Press) and Philosophy in Review; Zizek and Theology has been reviewed in New Blackfriars (Cambridge University Press) and in the International Journal of Systematic Theology (Cambridge University Press); Neoliberalism's Demons has been reviewed in Political Theology (T&F) and is the subject of at least five pages of close examination in Maxwell Kennel's Postsecular History (Springer Nature); The Politics of Redemption has been the subject of reviews in Anglican Theological Review and Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology. (For most of these there are certainly more, but I'm stopping at two.) Now you may argue that notability is not transitive and therefore this significant coverage of Kotsko's various works does not constitute significant coverage of him for GNG purposes. That's a plausible argument and if it carries the day, we will presumably want to split the existing article into stubs on each of his individual books, and dabbify the page to point to those book-specific articles. Of course each of those new articles will need to have some information about the book's author, so we will have actually just multiplied our BLP and maintenance issues. And since notabilityis not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page, and the resulting stubs are unlikely to be built into substantial articles in the near term, we will likely soon find that the reader and the project would be better served by merging these stubs into a single article on Adam Kotsko, as NBOOK itself suggests. Given that such an outcome leaves us back exactly where we started, WP:NOTBURO suggests that we should just keep the article now and save ourselves the hassle. -- Visviva (talk) 19:41, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Except that hasn't happened even since the first AfD in 2017 because the subject isn't actually notable (reviews in specialist journals carry very little weight, as noted in the previous AfD) and as a result no one cares to improve the article to meet Wikipedia's standards. It just continues to exist for the subject's benefit, written by the subject and/or people close to them (i.e., at Shimer/North Central) using sources from the subject's personal blog and other completely unreliable citations. I predict that if the article passes this second AfD it will just be nominated again in the future when someone else notices that it is entirely based on unreliable sources. 2404:4408:476B:4500:E867:645B:3954:A301 (talk) 21:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am the subject of this article. I want to clarify that I have never touched it or asked anyone to edit it on my behalf. It is based on a page from a wiki for Shimer College, which was created without my knowledge or input, by an alum I have never met, who has no apparent familiarity with my writing.

Comment: I have paged through all of the umpty-dozen revisions in the article history since the last AfD was closed in 2017. It does not appear that a cleanup tag (other than a sentence-level tag) was placed on the article at any point during that time. Even supposing that AfD was an appropriate way to address article quality issues (it isn't, not at all), if that's the actual concern then it's a little weird to go directly to AfD (again) without even asking for cleanup. FWIW I do agree that the article has a WP:BLPSELFPUB #5 issue in its current state. That would seem best addressed through expansion -- but BLP is a serious matter and I am unlikely to be a participant in that work, so although I stand by the remainder of my comment I have stricken my "keep" above. -- Visviva (talk) 16:40, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On further reflection: draftify. Although there doesn't seem to be any serious question of article-worthiness, a BLPSELFPUB violation should not just hang out indefinitely in mainspace. The necessary expansion work can be done just as well in draftspace, if anyone is so inclined. -- Visviva (talk) 03:32, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A sample of mentions in The Times (there are more)- via Wikipedia Library including:
Cox, Rupert (18 April 1998). "Students grant initiative to White". The Times. No. 66179. p. 34. - Mentions Fulton as Captain of team and mentions possibly poor decision to insert opposition.
presumably other British Broadsheets (i.e. Telegraph and Guardian) will also have similar.
Also mentioned in Wisdens for 1998 and 1999 (1998 "James Fulton...made polished first class fifties" and that captaincy handed over to him for 1998) together with match reports.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Match reports aren't generally seen as significant coverage. As long as the news article focuses on a specific footballer and describes them in signficant detail, that might be fine in my opinion. I can say such an example is this one. ⋆。˚꒰ঌClara A. Djalim໒꒱˚。⋆13:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Although the article is written in prose, most of the content is just regurgitating basic stats about the player (e.g. date of debut, number of appearances) so I would say it's fairly light coverage. As Clara says above, this is only one source and multiple sources are usually preferred. Spiderone(Talk to Spider)17:50, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe this page should be deleted, but I do agree that some things should be better sourced.
Avrum Rosensweig has literally changed the landscape of Canadian Jewish philanthropy by founding Ve’ahavta, Canada’s only Jewish rooted, humanitarian organization, in the country.
Over the years, the organization has helped tens of thousands of people on the streets of Toronto, as well as in countries like Guyana and Zimbabwe.
While Rosensweig retired years ago, and is no longer involved in the organization, Ve’ahavta continues to thrive as Canada’ s only Jewish humanitarian organization, living up to the universal ideals and values that he began the organization with.
This article may look well sourced at first glance but, in actual fact, it's just a WP:REFBOMB of database sources, none of which confer any notability per WP:SPORTBASIC. His 8 matches in the third tier of Ukraine might provide a very weak presumption of notability but, ultimately, Shostka needs to have significant coverage from independent sources to have an article. Looking at Ukrainian Wikipedia and online, the best that I can find are Desna 1 and Desna 2, both of which are published by his then-employer so are neither independent nor reliable (see WP:RS and WP:IS).

I have addressed COI in my comment below. Merely because I do advocacy work for authors on my monthly blogposts about indie authors has nothing to do with the issue. Also, would you prefer wikipedia articles about authors be written by editors without opinions about authors? Robert J Nagle (talk) 19:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am the one who drafted the article. There is absolutely no COI here -- though I did email Steinberg about a few things and did encourage him to submit one of his photos to wikicommons. Also Steinberg informed me that a few years ago he had drafted a wikipedia article for himself – and he forwarded that draft to me. But I mostly ignored that. It was almost entirely unusable.
I consider myself somewhat of an expert in the field of writing about sexuality. Also, I have a background in indie publishing and have written a few author profiles for Wikipedia over the decades.
Here is my personal opinion about why this living person meet the criteria for notability.
1. He made an invaluable contribution to the pro-feminist men's movement in the 1980s and possibly 1990s. In the 1980s pornography was a hot political topic in the USA. Conservatives were arguing about it. Feminists were arguing for it and against it. In the meantime some pro-feminist men were having conferences, publishing books and anthologies. Steinberg was one of the pioneers of this movement.
2. Steinberg's photography book/anthology Erotic by Nature was groundbreaking in the 1980s -- and it is still in print today. It received widespread distribution through Bookpeople and the book itself sold the concept of erotic photography as a legitimate form of fine arts photography. The book was an attempt to put into practice the ideas and aesthetic of the men's movement who were confronting the issue of pornography -- offering this as an alternative.
3. He has been writing about sexuality, sexual politics and new forms of sexual expression for decades. Most of his articles were for (now defunct) weeklies, but some appeared in national magazines like Playboy. Many of these articles were open to new kinds of sexuality. He has also written a lot about hot-button topics like sex trafficking, transgender rights, mostly from the perspective of a "liberated male."
4. He has devoted the latter part of his life taking erotic photographs and showing them at various exhibits and erotic festivals. Unlike many fine arts photographers, Steinberg has taken photographs of nontraditional subjects, like older people, gays, disabled people, transgender. I have listed some critics who have reviewed/interpreted his aesthetic sensibility.
Now, let me put on my wiki hat for a bit.
That first point (pro-feminist men’s movement) is extremely hard to document and source. (Believe me, I tried). The only thing I could find was several anthologies on the subject which he contributed to and/or edited. https://www.nearbycafe.com/loveandlust/steinberg/erotic/about/index.html Ultimately I ended up not mentioning this part for the article. Steinberg mentions a few of the conferences he participated in some of his writings, but I can find next to nothing from secondary sources.
One problem is that unlike feminists (who often were academics and organized many events through their universities) many of these men's conferences were looser and definitely not-academic. They didn't think too much about recording these things for the historical record. Wiki has some articles about men's movements, Men's Rights Movement and Men in Feminism, but really very little about men's response to porn or how to reconcile porn with feminism from a man's point of view. (See the article on sex-positive feminism; it mentions a lot of female names but almost no one who is male!)Ironically, Steinberg is probably a leading figure for the men's pro-feminist movement and sex-positivity. How do I know this? On that page alone, I count at least 15 names of thinkers/activists/intellectuals (all of which have received wikipedia articles) who have explicitly praised Steinberg's writings! (Joanie Blank, mentioned in the article, was in fact the person who financed Erotic by Nature. One of the writers pictured in the article, Tristan Taormino, even invited Steinberg on a recent podcast).
I should ask: is there a double standard here? Why does Wikipedia have so many articles on feminist response to porn and female authors who have written about sex-positive feminism but almost no males?
Finally, longevity counts for something in publishing. Publications come and go; that is especially true for alternative newspapers and especially true for sex-oriented publications. Should wikipedia discount publications from the pre-digital era simply because they are unavailable? Steinberg is one of the few writers/columnists on sexual issues who has digitized many of his writings on sexuality from the 1980s and 1990s and put them online. Wikipedia readers should have the ability to know that people like this actually existed -- and that his archive of writings from that time period exist and remain accessible.
By refusing to acknowledge the importance of contributions of people like David Steinberg, Wikipedia editors are removing bits of history from the public. I have done my best to draft an article on a somewhat sensitive subject in accordance with Wiki's policies. Frankly, I fail to understand why notability would even be a problem here. Robert J Nagle (talk) 19:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to step back for now. But I wanted to reiterate about COI that I have NEVER done paid editing for any wiki article subject and never received remuneration for anything I have done at Wikipedia. I expect to receive no sort of benefit (financial or otherwise) from Steinberg as a result of writing this article, and none was promised to me. My ebook publishing company (Personville Press) doesn't have any interest in publishing any of Steinberg's works although I admit I am extremely fond of his writings. My contact with the subject, as stated in my above statement, was minimal and mainly to check up on dates and verify some things. Robert J Nagle (talk) 21:51, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just thought of one more thing -- that maybe is self-evident. The article itself mentions that Steinberg was designated as " Erotic Photographer of the Year" in 2010 by Leydig Trust (which sponsors the Sexual Freedom Awards). The Sexual Freedom Awards has its own wikipedia page; I guess that means wikipedia has already rated these awards as notable. In the article I mentioned that the Seattle Erotic Art Festival has given Steinberg the honorary title, "Master of Erotic Art" for "impactful photography (which) focuses on capturing the diversity of our human sexuality by showcasing a broad range of people. From the SEAF website itself, it says, "The Masters of Erotic Art program showcases artists who have made meaningful contributions to the history and development of erotic art." These are two separate well-known organizations in the field of the erotic arts which have recognized Steinberg's contribution to the field. [21]
These properly sourced details were mentioned in paragraph 2 of the article, so I assume that the other editors saw this already. I have provided other justifications about notability in the previous longer comment. But frankly, I don't know just those two award designations don't confer notability.

The information in the article about St. George Utah Temple under the picture state temple was announced 31 january 1871. A book abouut mormon temples called Mormon Temples In America says November 9 1871. The book is not an official book from the LDS but neither is the website where you got this iinforation in the article. Msruzicka (talk) 19:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
another interesting point almost all the Mormon Temple articles uses a website that is not connected to the LDS chuch in any way. And at times information from that site does not correspond with the official LDS site.Msruzicka (talk) 19:58, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably the result of incompetent and/or uninformed editing. Summary description of community consensus for ChurchOfJesusChristTemples.org at WP:LDS/RS is as follows:
The ChurchofJesusChristTemples.org is a self-published source and is not an official website of the LDS Church. It therefore does not qualify as a reliable source nor meets the special case usage for self-published sources.

Comment: I'm removing the Goodreads mention - these are user generated reviews - I've given an explanation of this in some of the related AfDs. I've also removed the link to Altus Fine Art. That isn't a review of the book, as it's a general comment about the artist. It's also not independent enough to be considered something that could give notability for the artist, as it's a promotional blurb meant to encourage people to buy from the website. They aren't going to say negative things about someone whose work they're hoping to profit from. If they were an extremely notable art gallery or a museum this would be debatable, but they're not.
Now as far as the Boyack part goes, that's a book jacket blurb (BJB). BJBs are short quotes that are written to promote and sell a book. These people are approached by the publisher or author and asked to make a short 1-2 sentence statement about the book. It's not in-depth and it's specifically written to be promotional copy, so it's not considered to be a review. Some publishers even re-use the same blurbs over and over again on other books by the same author, sometimes even years down the line. While sure, this is the author's only book, the fact remains that BJBs aren't usable to establish notability because of their very nature.

Delete. The only source out there seems to be the Deseret News review. I'm willing to see that as usable because well, there are a lot of LDS members out there and the paper isn't going to review everything released by one of their members. It wouldn't be the strongest possible source, but I would be willing to see it as usable. In any case, that's kind of a moot point since this is only one source and that's not enough to establish notability. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。)15:12, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
His soccer career was not notable at all, having only played 172 minutes in Revolution, as well as a friendly goal that can't be the basis of a Wikipedia article.

Note - I converted most of the sources to use our {{cite}} templates. I did a search as well, and the only reference I'm able to find is Triplook which Copan is the city of the Maya located in the western part of the country near Guatemala. It is the largest monument of ancient civilizations on the territory of Honduras. Copan was founded in the I century A.D. In the 7th and 8th centuries, it was the center of the ancient Mayan Kingdom Shukuup - I'm not convinced by this source, as Copán is a Good Article and doesn't mention the kingdom at all. Also, none of the English Language links in the footer mention the kingdom. ~ MatthewrbLet's connect · Here to help08:48, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep while it's very much stub-class at the moment, during my WP:BEFORE (voting) search I found this reference from the Indonesian Government Ministry of Education and Culture - [26] - that supports everything said in the article and more and is almost the most WP:RS source possible.

Why delete? The page clearly has some use. IMHO you could make fairly decent cases for a redirect to Jason Hood or the Joker (is that confirmed in whatever iteration of DC 'continuity' we're on this week? That he was the only version of the dome-head Red Hood?), so the most sensible thing would be a disambiguation-type page that swiftly explains the gist and links to the various appropriate pages. Outright deletion seems just about the worst option, so I'm voting Keep and make more useful through editing. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 11:51, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Comics Encyclopedia source is just a plot summary of his role, and I wouldn't really consider it SIGCOV per Wikipedia:NOTPLOT. The IGN source is similarly just a plot summary of Red Hood's past appearances, and is additionally only talking about Jason Todd's version of the alias, which does not address the nom's concerns of being separately notable from Todd.
As an aside, how can you be sure the Visual History contains SIGCOV if you can't access it? Mostly just asking out of curiosity more than anything, because at a glance the guide itself seems akin to Comics Encyclopedia in terms of its coverage. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would tend to agree with Jclemens. WP:INDISCRIMINATE does not forbid the use of plot summaries, only establishes the article must have some indication of its external importance and significance, somewhere.
And as I said, I cannot be sure if there is SIGCOV in Visual History, but it's easier to keep and confirm later than to delete and regret it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:06, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It does not forbid the use of plot summaries, but I cite NOTPLOT for a reason. An article needs something beyond plot. Per the policy, works must be discussed "in an encyclopedic manner, discussing the development, design, reception, significance, and influence of works in addition to concise summaries of those work." So far there haven't been any sources actually demonstrating this, and any that do are focused entirely on the character of Todd, not the alias of Red Hood. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:16, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have struck out my original opinion, and change it to redirect since it is nearly synonymous with Jason Todd at this point. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:26, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not clear what's being asked here. Do you want this turned into a disambiguation page? Clearly, something should exist at Red Hood.

Redirect to Jason Todd per nom. All coverage indicates that Red Hood is basically only known for the association the alias has to Todd, and a hatnote can point to Joker for his usage of the alias. The lack of actual sourcing for Red Hood surprises me; if anything comes up, let me know, but as it stands, the coverage is so little that I don't see a need to merge anything to Todd, when all of Todd's plot information covers the necessary Red Hood bits adequately as is.

Redirect to Jason Todd per Pokelego999 and others and due to insufficient coverage of this topic in particular, for a standalone article.

Redirect to Jason Todd with a hatnote to Joker added there. While the Red Hood name was originally used by the Joker, it has, for a long time now, been associated almost entirely with Jason Todd, making him the primary topic. And I am not really seeing the logic in having information of Jason Todd as the Red Hood in a separate article from our full article on Jason Todd, which also covers him being the Red Hood. Even the sources shown above are describing the history of Jason Todd as a whole, not "The Red Hood" as a separate concept. Since the "In Other Media" section is just a shortened selection of items already present in either the Joker or Jason Todd's own "in other media" articles, the only information here that is not already fully covered on either Jason Todd or The Joker articles is the information on "The Red Hood Gang" which is simply not notable. Rorshacma (talk) 16:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Jason Todd. Agree that there are not enough sources to establish GNG for the Red Hood as a concept. Anyone searching for the Red Hood will almost certainly mean Jason. Joker's article already includes information about how the Red Hood relates to him, and the gang is not notable. Rhino131 (talk) 21:51, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Use this page for more detailed information on the Red Hood character, including the history of his being portrayed by the Joker and the rise of the Red Hood Gang.

No newspapers that I can find reported on the case at the time or since.

The current references are IMDb (again, not reliable), something that doesn't even mention her [32] and a press release which can't count towards notability per WP:PRSOURCE[33].

Delete. I disagree about whether the review in Deseret News can be used to qualify here (I think it can, since the book's publisher is not affiliated with the LDS church), but it's just one review when multiple are needed, and the rest are not independent, secondary, reliable sources. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm looking over the reviews. So far here is the rundown:
BYU: This is not a review, this is a publisher's summary. Even if it wasn't, no retailer is going to tell you that one of their products is awful - they want you to buy the book. At most they might post someone else's review stating that it is bad, but they are going to be quick and clear to attribute it to that publication.
Goodreads: User submitted reviews. You can read my explanation at this AfD as to why those aren't usable or even generally considered to be pertinent to Wikipedia.
DBRL: User generated reviews, not issued by the site itself.
Self-published blog: This runs the same issue as the user submitted reviews on retail and database websites. Anyone can create a blog and post a review. These are only usable if you can prove that the site has been routinely cited as a reliable source by other independent reliable sources, particularly academic and scholarly sources.
Library site: User submitted reviews - these are actually the same reviews as posted at the DBRL, as they pull from the same database for that area.
LDS Living: At the bottom of the page it lists that it took the review from the Deseret Times, so it's a duplicate of the DT review.
Deseret Times: I'd be willing to say that this is usable. It's brief, but the paper is independent of the LDS and by extension, the author and publisher.
I've removed all of the sources but the blog post and the link to the Deseret Times. With the blog post, I suppose there's a chance that the site could be one of the rare exceptions to the blog rule - unlikely, but I'll leave it up there until someone researches that. As far as the other sources go, they were doing far more harm on the page than good. Unusable sources like those tend to make a page seem less notable rather than more, especially in the case of the sources that were accidentally misrepresented. I'm going to see if I can find any other sources. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。)22:53, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom; none of the references in the article contribute to notability since they are not independent reliable sources about the book. Rather, they are the book itself, user-submitted reviews, and merchant outlets selling the book. Left guide (talk) 06:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm a bit surprised that no sources exist for this, as I remember selling more than a few copies of this back in the mid to late 2000s. However the issue here isn't whether or not this was ever popular and whether or not there have been any reviews or coverage in places Wikipedia would consider to be reliable and independent/secondary. What we need are things like reviews or articles about the book in like say, a newspaper like the Salt Lake Tribune. I checked Newspapers.com, but the only listings for this were advertisements where various stores were saying nice things about the book in order to entice customers to purchase it.
As far as the 'reviews' in the article go, none of them are usable. Here's a rundown:
BYU: This is not a review. It is a publisher's summary of the book - you can find this summary on other websites selling the book, like Amazon.
Cardston Bookshop: This is a review by a random user, not a review by the website itself.
Goodreads: All user created reviews. Not pertinent to Wikipedia.
Thrift Books: Also user created reviews, not a review by the website itself.
The Mormon Literature and Creative Arts: This is questionable as to whether or not this could be seen as a review. It's labeled as a summary, so it's possible that this was an alternative publisher's summary. Now it does show that two people reviewed it for the Association for Mormon Letters, however even if that is considered to be independent and secondary enough, the issue would be that it's one publication - we would need reviews from multiple outlets, not the same one.
Now, going back to the issue with user generated content. The issue here is that anyone can create a review on sites like Goodreads, Amazon, and so on. If any limits exist, they're usually not much of a hurdle - Amazon might only require that you buy the book, for example. That lack of a hurdle makes it kind of a given that someone will post a review about a given product. If it exists, eventually a member of the general public will give their opinion. What makes a review from a media outlet like the Salt Lake Tribune or NYT special is because they have a limited amount of space and staff time to create a review. Countless books are released in any given genre each year - there's no way that these outlets can review all of those, so they have to be extremely discerning about which ones they review. The only time user created content is considered to be noteworthy is when it gains coverage in media outlets like the NYT and such. Examples of this would be Saving Christmas and Bend, Not Break, where there were attempts to create review campaigns to sway the public user ratings.
Aside from that, the page also uses wiki entries - these should never be used as a source because they're user created. There's little to no editorial oversight and anyone can create a page. The only time wikis are sourced within an article is if they are part of the topic at hand - even then it's expected that the source will be accompanied with secondary, independent reliable sources that would justify mentioning it within the article. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。)22:32, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With the user reviews, this isn't meant to be a knock against people who like to review books and other media in their spare time or a knock against those websites. Shoot, I used to be an extremely active reviewer on Goodreads, IMDb, and Amazon back in the day and even ran a book blog. (Side note: someone once tried to use a review I posted on my blog in an AfD - that was a surreal moment to say the least.) It's just that these are so common and expected that they aren't considered to be discerning enough. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。)22:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Something else of note: adding a ton of unreliable sources to an article doesn't make an article look more notable. In this situation it actually runs the serious risk of undermining any attempts at retaining it. With the case of the publisher summaries misinterpreted as reviews, there's the risk of it being seen as a deliberate attempt to misrepresent the sources. I don't think that this is the case here, but it's how it can come across. It's far, far better to limit it to sources Wikipedia considers to be reliable and usable to establish notability.

Note that a topic being "established" also has nothing to do with policy or guidelines and is not a valid reason to keep something. Nor is having a lot of links to pretty pictures. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 13:44, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the fact that a topic is established (as notable) has a lot to do with notability guidelines. Did anyone mention pretty pictures but you? (And on top of that, in an article about photographs access to quality images might even be considered a valid argument in favour of the existence of a list (as opposed to a category)). ("Well presented" is more about structure, content and prose than image, imv). Mushy Yank (talk) 15:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In case it wasn't clear, my "note" above was a direct retort to Randy Kryn's utterly bafflingly nonsensical "note" immediately preceding it, in which he seems to try to argue against a poor rationale in the nomination (ignoring other parts of it). My retort was to call him out for making an even worse "keep" statement. And no, being "an established topic" doesn't even mean anything. You stealthily added "(as notable)" parenthetically, but it could just as well be established (as non-notable). And it's also not established as notable; that's what we're here to argue about. And nowhere has anyone (including you) presented even a whiff of evidence that this meets NLIST. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 18:15, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're not exactly what I would call friendly in your mention of other users' opinions, you're aware of that, aren't you? So, you're not satisfied with the sources presented nor with those on the page, nor with the book reference above. OK. One last try. You obviously have coverage for this in the Guinness Book (just check please); please also see Panoramic and Immersive Media Studies Yearbook (2024), De Gruyter (pp 299-300); or see lists like this https://www.pcmag.com/news/10-jaw-dropping-gigapixel-photos A lead section with context and more history of the records and milestones would not hurt, though. (PS- "stealthily", really? when I'm just making the obvious, explicit; but I'll assume good faith and consider you're not playing with words.) Mushy Yank (talk) 20:47, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:RSP: "There is consensus that world records verified by Guinness World Records should not be used to establish notability. Editors have expressed concern that post-2008 records include paid coverage.". I have no access to the book you mention, so can't assess that one. And the PCmag article is just a listicle. Listicles are low-quality churn meant to drive clicks for ad revenue and do nothing to establish notability of a topic. The simple fact is that stuff surrounding this is inherently promotional. The most common site used (Gigapan) is a commercial site for selling merchandise and thus not independent of its subject. We also have no way of knowing if these things are truly the largest, if any comparably large ones are not listed here, etc etc. This stuff falls squarely within WP:NOT territory. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 21:36, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Guinness was more for verification that the topic (not the entries) was notable (I always understood the mention of Guinness at RSP as regarding individual entities but let’s simply discard it). There are quite a number of independent sources for each item I verified (I’ve added a couple) and the numbers are verifiable. Various EL can be removed. Yes, lists are sometimes not great journalism but again they seem to be an easy way to show a given topic has attracted attention as a set. Thanks, anyway.

Delete or re-draftify. There's definitely something out there - see [35], which has a different date and scoreline for the final. This also contains similar but different information. If we could simply independently verify the information and fix what's wrong, I'd switch to keep in an instant. SportingFlyerT·C23:51, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can User:I dream of horses stop creating these. At least one of the two original nominations is trending to keep. The normal method with these kinds of things is just to nominate a single article, and see how that goes. Nfitz (talk) 19:56, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, see here where the creator says that they have contacted the Maltese FA directly for the information but won't be able to provide a source, so basically original research. This article fails V and NOR, 2 of the 3 main policies of Wikipedia. Spiderone(Talk to Spider)18:40, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Changing to keep. It's not original research, it's not unverifiable, and it's part of an article structure which should be able to have an article on it if it passes GNG. There are definitely articles on the tournament, including this modern one. Unfortunately some of the information in the newspaper article doesn't match what is in our article, and I trust the newspaper more. I'm sure there would be additional sources if we were able to do a newspaper search of Malta for 1940 papers. SportingFlyerT·C03:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've also fixed the scoreline in the final, added scorers, and added two sources to the article. It could use further improvement, but I don't know how to look at Maltese papers. It's almost certainly notable if that 2007 article can get into that level of detail, though. SportingFlyerT·C03:17, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recently recreated page after earlier prod, evidently with the same tags. The station does exist (the NTC pulled a Mexico and double-dipped on DXKS) and has been around a while but needs citation help urgently to meet the GNG, a problem common to Philippines radio station articles. See also title DXKS-FM (CDO). Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been tagged as an unreferenced BLP for a year and I suppose a WP:BLPPROD could be used but let's give this guy a shot. Walker is an actor who has played bit parts in a few movies and TV shows (here is his IMDb page) but his only meaningful role is in a TV show called 15/Love. As a result, he does have an IMDb page, a Fandom page, an Instagram account and so on but I fail to see any sort of coverage that is significant enough to meet the requirements of WP:GNG. He clearly fails WP:NACTOR. Pichpich (talk) 00:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as I have not been able to find any sources beyond the one raised by Spiderone, and automatic databases which only contain trivial mentions. The one human-created article doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV as it's mainly about the team, he's literally just listed next to a bullet point. At this point in time, he doesn't come close in both English and Spanish media to reaching WP:BIO or WP:SPORTSBASIC from my search. MolecularPilot🧪️✈️04:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, does not make a credible claim to notability. The creator seems like one of the worst and most problematic creators, per the flood of deletion notices on his talk page and being indefinitely blocked. Geschichte (talk) 08:38, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
