No refs on the page, little independent third party sources found to show notability per WP:GNG. There seems to be more about the Internet Access and Training Program but that's unreferenced too and I'm not sure it could be shown to be notable either. This topic in particular appears to be a short lived programme of the US government with unknown ongoing importance. JMWt (talk) 09:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus‎. Numerically there were more keep !votes, however the evidence of WP:CANVASS, and the less in-depth nature of the arguments, meant they could not be weighted so heavily. However, even having made this adjustment, the discussion ultimately comes down to whether or not the coverage of the subject is WP:SIGCOV or not, and whether the BAFTA Scotland Audience Awards are a significant enough award or not, and on this there was no agreement. The equivocal nature of the discussion here was reflected even in the "~partial" label used for the some of the sources by the nominator. The fact that there have only been keep !votes in the past week also makes this unlikely to pass.

If this is to be renominated, I suggest analysing the sources again and coming down decisively in the nomination one way or the other on whether they really do or do not support notability: "partial notability" is not something known to our PAGs. FOARP (talk) 22:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to meet GNG. None of the article's current sources contribute to notability, all being interviews, promotional pieces about the subject's work, or passing mentions. I was unable to find any independent significant coverage in a BEFORE search. Perhaps a small amount of the content could be merged into her mother's page (Janey Godley) but most of it is off-topic there. CodeTalker (talk) 22:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CodeTalker (talk) 22:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the article is notable, and has been in the public eye with cocomitant media attention for decades. Youngest Edinburgh Fringe performer with her own show, BBC presenter, co-creator and star of a BBC television show. The article should be retained.
@CodeTalker has admitted on the article talk page to not knowing who the subject is -- all the other editors of the page at least know that -- and the amount of effort he (it just has to be a he) is expending here is concerning. Lloyd Wood (talk) 23:11, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CodeTalker I’m not sure you fully understand how to analyse and create a source assessment table. All the columns, except for the one on reliability, seem to focus on fault analysis (most). Could you clarify the criteria you’re using for these attributions? I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the concepts of "significant coverage," "reliability," and "independence," as well as how these factors contribute to meeting WP:GNG. Understanding these elements is essential for proper source evaluation. MimsMENTOR talk 17:19, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article was originally a redirect to Godley's page. Part of why I never actually finished drafting the article was because pretty much everything I was finding was interviews and the likes. Also @Lloyd Wood:, please bear in mind WP:CANVASS. Posting heavily-worded comments on other Wikipedias as ye did here tends to be frowned upon CiphriusKane (talk) 23:35, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete based on source analysis. Her being the youngest Edinburgh fringe performer (what an obscure claim to notability), alongside hosting a BBC tv show does not create notability, sourcing does. Also @Llyod Wood I advise you to keep discussion focused on the subject and her notability. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:15, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the table indicates three sources which the nom has grudgingly labelled 'partial' when it appears to be 'yes', has dismissed three as non-independent due to containing content of an interview but are actually standard articles focused purely on the subject over which she presumably had no editorial control, and has misrepresented one on 'an award won by a show that the subject appears in', it was actually a nomination but in fact three nominations as writer, actor and for the show itself. Based on the criteria (interviews don't count, their shows and even awards for their shows don't count as only a passing mention / not notable in itself), it's difficult to imagine how any comedian bio meets the threshold of inclusion. WP:ENTERTAINER states "Such a person may be considered notable if; The person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" - the subject appears to meet all three of the above requirements to an extent, although no single one emphatically.Crowsus (talk) 07:42, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Edinburgh Fringe example was just to show that the subject has been in the public eye for decades. The subject has hosted multiple BBC radio shows and has starred in multiple BBC television and radio shows, so @Traumnovelle's description was misleading. Speaking of accuracy, @Traumnovelle do note your typo of my name. Lloyd Wood (talk) 00:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I agree with the assessment by @Crowsus. Storrie would not have had editorial control over interviews with her, the sources of those interview articles are independent. It's also notable that these major media outlets (national newspapers, etc.) thought that that the subject was notable enough to be worth interviewing in the first place. Those sources are good. Lloyd Wood (talk) 01:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An interview published by the interviewer is still an interview and not independent of the interviewee. CodeTalker (talk) 02:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You reject interviews, even though the interview format is standard for actors, and for standup comics, where words matter, and the comic's opinions and experiences are entirely relevant to the matter at hand. Interviewed repeatedly by national media? That's notable, and the content will have been factchecked before publication.
Yet you also reject articles about awards won by work done by the subject, simply because the subject... actually appeared in the award-winning work that they did?
Being nominated for and winning awards in her chosen field -- for writing and performing -- is notable. Laudable, too. Just out of curiosity, how many awards have you won?
Your chosen criteria and your interpretation of them are... strange. If I look at the table you made up, I see a lot of green ticks, and a whole lot of your nitpicking. Lloyd Wood (talk) 03:51, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
An interview can be used as a source, but generally isn’t used to prove notability. Bearian (talk) 03:58, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect (as WP:ATD) Delete for now. While I would expect that she will someday become WP:NOTABLE that is not quite today, she is WP:BAREBLP. She has been a prolific entertainer for many years, but length of years is not sufficient enough. As per WP:NACTOR it requires significant roles in multiple noteworthy shows, and from what I can tell, Dinosaur (TV series) is the only one that fits that criteria. No other shows fit WP:N. While she has been nominated for an award, she didn't win WP:RUNNERUP. While her public life about being on the autism spectrum is admirable, it is hardly a "unique, prolific or innovative contribution" WP:NACTOR. Arguably what brought her the most notability is her mother, Janey Godley, but WP:NOTINHERITED. Not inherited also applies to the BBC radios shows; the channel is noteworthy, but the program itself is not. I'm not seeing any coverage that counts as WP:SECOND where "provides thought and reflection based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources". Rather the bulk is simply coverage of interviews or self-promotion (ie channel listings, agent website, etc). About the only actual secondary article talks briefly about her award nomination, but that really just becomes a reliable source reference that she received an award nomination. Also looking at WP:DIRECTOR, as an alternative criterion to NACTOR, this article seems to also fail all of those examples as well. All that being said, I would not be surprised if one day she does truly become a notable figure, and she will quite possibly check all or more of these boxes, but right now she does not yet pass the criteria for inclusion. TiggerJay(talk) 04:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changing to Merge/Redirect from delete, but otherwise my rationale for why it shouldn't YET be an article still remains. TiggerJay(talk) 10:06, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Further comparison research of the other actors involved in Dinosaur (TV series) shows how every one that has an article clearly exceeds notability. Aside from that one TV shows, the only other article which Storrie actual professional work that meets notability guidelines appears to be when she was a child, at 4 years old in a commercial. Everything else is references to very broad categories -- such as Edinburgh Festival Fringe which in 2024 had over 3,317 different shows -- being a part of such a massive festival isn't noteworthy. The same goes with simply being a comedian, appearing on a radio show, etc. Now perhaps there is a case that one or more of those might be notable, but I couldn't find anything that makes a radio talk/music show that is on a 22:00 until 0100 anything of significant notability. Compare that with David Carlyle with 5 notable films, 2 BAFTA noms, winner of several awards. Or Lorn Macdonald with 2 movies and several tv shows. Or Greg Hemphill undisputedly notable, and a article and IMDB profile to show for it. Ben Green (comedian) who is another comedian, has over a 22 in his filmography. Or Sally Howitt who has been in a reoccurring role since 2003 on the award winning River City, plus 5 other shows. Or Sanjeev Kohli another actor/comedian with a long history. Also most of these have far less references, but far more checkboxes when it comes to notability criteria for actors/entertainers/etc. By comparison this just seems too soon for Storrie. TiggerJay(talk) 19:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - In the event that it's determined she fails GNG, would a redirect to Janey Godley (as it was originally) or Dinosaur (TV series) be a suitable WP:ATD? It stood as a redirect for 3 years before this bourach CiphriusKane (talk) 08:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Absolutely I would support a redirect to either, and even merging some of the content. Again, I would say she will probably WP:CRYSTAL be WP:GNG in the near future, but not yet, and certainly not by the references in the article thus far. TiggerJay(talk) 10:04, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "not by the references in the article thus far": then you need to learn what AfD is about. We should not be voting on the 'references in the article thus far', but in what information is in reliable sources in the public domain, and that means people should look more widely before voting. - SchroCat (talk) 16:13, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would agree with you that the analysis by CodeTalker of the on page references is questionable and I would disagree with some of the summary judgements be passed. However, if you think my !vote was based simply on "references in the article" then you didn't read what I wrote at all, but simply cherry picked something to disagree with. Rather I presented 8 various different links to policies, guidelines and essays from which I based my !vote, the majority of which has nothing to do with "references in the article" (but I think the references do precious little to help establish GNG), but certainly review them along with independent research I performed. If you'd like to suggest reliable sources to disagree with requirements for "multiple noteworthy shows" or secondary sources that "contain analysis, interpretation or synthesis" or how she meets any of the other criteria of things like DIRECTOR or NACTOR, etc. I would be happy to read a reliable, secondary source that talks about the attributes required in ENTERTAINER. I would be happy to hear what she as actually "contributed to a field of entertainment" that really isn't just WP:SNOWFLAKE. TiggerJay(talk) 18:42, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete – obscure comedian, one of 10,000s on the comedy circuit in the UK but not significant in her own right. Vast majority of coverage found via search engines (most of which have been barrel scraped to build the article) have been scrutinised well above. Most are about her mother, who actually was a renowned comedian. One of the sources in the "partial" category above is largely about her being a comedian with autism, which whilst interesting, does not give her ground for an article of her own. Another is a tiny comment piece in The Guardian. The only one I'd give any weight to is the Sunday Post interview. I'll also add that in the past it looks like there's been resistance to giving her an article of its own, perhaps for the reasons already outlined here. Her name, until recently, would redirect to her mum's article, Janey Godley. Godley's illness and death does not change Storrie's notability. --Jkaharper (talk) 16:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I find the source assessment table quite flawed in its analysis, as there are numerous incorrect attributions of appropriate references. There is substantial coverage in several sources that highlight key milestones in the subject's career, including interviews, awards, and recognition for her shows such as Dinosaur. Sources like The List and Chortle provide detailed coverage, while BBC and Sunday Post showcase her visibility in the industry. Her recognition in the Scottish BAFTA, work on Dinosaur, and coverage in BBC programs significantly support her notability.--MimsMENTOR talk 17:12, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Really, this is detailed coverage? 'Best Radio Comic: Ashley Storrie' and 'Nominees: Ashley Storrie (BBC Radio Scotland)' Traumnovelle (talk) 18:57, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Really? You only found one source from The List? Also, what you mentioned from that reference can indeed be used to verify the achievement aspect. When combined with other source from The List, it provides coverage of her role and contributes to the significance of the subject in said programme. MimsMENTOR talk 19:23, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said the assessment was flawed and said the sources provided detail coverage, I decided to take a look. The source assessment is quite correct to me.
    >When combined with other source from The List, it provides coverage of her role and contributes to the significance of the subject in said programme.
    It doesn't provide coverage of her role or any significance, it is a one line mention of an award. Traumnovelle (talk) 19:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "Significant coverage" means that the topic is clearly and thoroughly addressed, though it doesn't require an in-depth or exhaustive explanation throughout the entire reference (solely). Rather, it should provide enough detail that the topic is well understood without needing additional research. If this level of coverage comes from an independent and reliable source, it meets WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, it's not necessary for the topic to be the main focus of the reference itself, as long as the information is substantial and relevant, it qualifies. MimsMENTOR talk 19:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    SIGCOV is more than a trivial mention, as per the page. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:01, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Storrie is nominated for four BAFTAs ('the Scottish Emmys', if you like) -- and the award ceremony is in this coming week, on Sunday. Being nominated for her work is significant, winning one or more awards because of her work would be even more significant. The Scottish Sun is a national newspaper (because Scotland is a nation), so this has significant visibility. This article about her nomination provides further support for keeping this Wikipedia article.

FITTING TRIBUTE Janey Godley to be honoured at Scottish BAFTAs as daughter tipped for awards Insiders say it's 'only fitting' she is recognised at awards bash Chris Taylor, Reporter Published: 21:28, 9 Nov 2024 Updated: 11:15, 11 Nov 2024 Scottish Sun, showbiz section

I think this article and any followup or related articles would be worth citing. Roll on Sunday, when the results are announced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lloyd Wood (talkcontribs) }

Ah, not the best suggestion I'm afraid. The Sun, along with the Daily Mail and a few others, is prohibited from use on basically all articles because of its unmatched habit of talking utter shite. I would also say that it's more of a side-mention in relation to her mum and unlikely to sway the Nos even if allowed. However, I would suggest delaying the outcome of the decision until after the aforementioned ceremony, as winning one of the awards would likely result in increased, new media coverage which could demonstrate a GNG pass (although we are already there IMO). Crowsus (talk) 12:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see that the use of Sun publications was only deprecated in 2019 -- eighteen years after Wikipedia was founded, and a couple of years after the Mail was similarly shown the door. So hard to keep up with the new creeping Puritanism. "A few others"? That banlist is HUGE.
Nevertheless, delaying any decision until after the award ceremony and looking at resulting media coverage of it remains sensible, and I'd link here to some type of WAITANDSEE edict if only I could be bothered to find one. Roll on, Sunday. Lloyd Wood (talk) 16:28, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – just want to pick apart a few of the falsehoods in the comment above from @Lloyd Wood:. Firstly, she hasn't been nominated for 4 BAFTAs. She was nominated for 4 BAFTA Scotland Audience Awards. This is a minor award. It is NOT the annual mainstream British Academy Film Awards or even the British Academy Television Awards, but rather a minor subsidiary. Saying they're the "Scottish Emmy's" is false – the main BAFTA Television Awards are of that tier. Finally, Scotland is not a nation state. It's a country within a union, the United Kingdom being the sovereign nation state. I'm from there, I should know. And finally, as another user has pointed out, The Scottish Sun is not a reliable source. And to be totally frank, it's tabloid garbage. --Jkaharper (talk) 10:25, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, firstly: I linked to the BAFTA page explaining the relationship between BAFTA and Scottish BAFTA. A BAFTA is a BAFTA, even though I and the article I cited did qualify it (correctly) as 'Scottish'. The brand and affiliation are correct, the Emmy analogy simply sets the scope, even if you don't like it. Maybe you'd like a different analogy? The main BAFTAs are not in themselves Scottish.
Secondly: I did not use the term 'nation state', or the term 'sovereign nation'; I know better than that. The Scottish people are a nation with a unique cultural identity, argot, dialect, and language - that is how 'national' applies. (A nation that most recently chose in a referendum to remain in the Union, but that was before the Brexit referendum, and sentiment may well since have shifted.)
Frankly, the 'falsehoods' here are a matter of interpretation, (And 'I'm from there, I should know' is the kind of weak argument to authority that I would expect @Jkaharper to point out as such, on his better days.) Lloyd Wood (talk) 11:10, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep subject is notable and meets GNG, source analysis table unnecessarily downgrades some sources. Lirazelf (talk) 10:30, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's your opinion. Not mine. Others in this conversation are also of the opinion that the Scotland BAFTA (which is a part of the British Academy) is notable. Just like with the Emmy Awards where there are multiple notable divisions, the same is true of the BAFTAs.4meter4 (talk) 21:53, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not the "Scottish BAFTAs" though. There's no such thing. It's literally called the "BAFTA Scotland Audience Awards". It's obscure. --Jkaharper (talk) 00:32, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Newspapers of record have called the awards 'the Scottish BAFTAs' across multiple articles and publications -- even in Scotland.[1] Lloyd Wood (talk) 00:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Scholarly works also mention the awards and call them by that name. You'll find references to the Scottish BAFTAs in various contexts in academic lit on Scottish TV, Film, etc. The Edinburgh Companion to Contemporary Scottish Literature, This Is Scotland, 100 Years of British Music, The Education of the Filmmaker in Europe, Australia, and Asia, Women Screenwriters: An International Guide, etc. Its clearly an often highlighted honor in independent secondary sources. It's not an obscure non-notable achievement. Its described as a significant film/television award on page 13 in Scotland: Global Cinema: Genres, Modes and Identities, Edinburgh University Press. Your assessment is just not accurate.4meter4 (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It looks like the conference hasn't happened since before COVID-19 pandemic, and possibly the pandemic killed the conference permanently as it did so many other things. I did find a couple of articles on Christian bands playing at the conference in the Newfoundland Herald (now defunct); but they were really more about the bands and not the conference itself. I wouldn't be surprised if there is pre-internet era coverage of the conference in CCM Magazine, Guide Post, Christianity Today, and the Newfoundland Herald that could be used to re-create this article and which would prove the topic passes WP:GNG. However, without physical evidence in hand, I don't see the value in keeping the article at this time. It can always be recreated when/if someone with a passion for defunct Christian music festival/conference wants to dig up sources in Christian magazines (both extant and defunct) or in the archives of the Newfoundland Herald, or other local newspapers.

Not notable, WP:NOTDICTIONARY violation. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:53, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated 18 days ago, and there was no participation, so it was soft deleted. The soft deletion was challenged, the article was restored 11 hours ago, and it's still not well sourced. I'm guessing unilateral draftication, a redirect, or other alternatives to deletion may also be challenged, so I'm nominating this for an AfD discussion.

  • Redirect per above. I think it would be possible to build an article. Google books has some promising leads on snippet views of reviews in Fantasy/Sci-Fi journals from the mid 1990s, and it is likely there would be off-line coverage in media from then as well. However, without being able to access the full reviews, it probably best to redirect at present until a motivated editor with access to the right off-line materials can do the topic justice.4meter4 (talk) 22:34, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No difference from 2021 to now. Speculation about who might run is not enough to sustain an article. Several editors have violated policies about copy and pasting others' work in order to create this article. I propose that it not only be re-deleted as the redirect target is not appropriate, but administrator protected for at least three months. It may even be necessary to delete the draft and start from scratch. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:07, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Due to some political scholars predicting (as sourced on the article for the 2024) the destruction of Democracy under Trump, could it be considered a violation of WP:CRYSTAL to assume there even will be a 2028 election at all? StrexcorpEmployee (talk) 19:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The holding of an election is legally required, there is no legislative proposal or policy suggestion that mentions (for instance) not holding a presidential election in 2028 - let alone any state or federal election. It would be a greater violation of WP:CRYSTAL to remove this page because 'there is a possibility this event may not happen'. This suggestion is a somewhat akin to someone saying 'the Next United Kingdom general election page should be deleted because the UK may not exist by 2029 because Scotland and Wales may leave', which is far more likely but currently there is no indication of that happening, similarly to this idea. I can't make any assesment as to whether this page should exist, I just wanted to give my view on this line of reasoning in particular. notadev (talk) 07:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unless these sources have a crystal ball, they’re merely speculating on what could happen, and there is likely an equal or greater chance of it not happening.

  • Delete WP:CRYSTALBALL "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation, rumors, or presumptions". To do so would open up a whole category of speculative articles, dragging on and on in debate. None of us know the future, not even as near as January 2025. How many people envisioned in 2004 that a black man would run and win the 2008 Presidential election? That wasn't on anybody's radar. Also, as long as there are living descendants of any past president, who knows on that issue. A key factor in any election is how the US Supreme Court will have dealt with issues in the previous four years.

    ● Keep To Quote WP:CRYSTAL: "1. Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place, as even otherwise-notable events can be cancelled or postponed at the last minute by a major incident. If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. Examples of appropriate topics include the 2028 U.S. presidential election and 2032 Summer Olympics. By comparison, the 2044 U.S. presidential election and 2048 Summer Olympics are not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research." InterDoesWiki (talk) 02:12, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @InterDoesWiki: I'm not sure if you are aware of the "intricacies" behind that quote. See my own comment to my !vote below. The reason why WP:CRYSTAL lists those examples (including the 2028 U.S. presidential election) is problematic. Renerpho (talk) 21:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Paintspot Infez and Enos733: Seeing that you've also made similar arguments, I think I should point you there as well. Per WP:CRYSTALBALL (as the next general election is specifically listed there as appropriate). and LITERALLY mentioned in WP:CRYSTAL both are not -- technically -- true. It's not mentioned "literally", and it's not listed "specifically" either. No human has ever added those examples, and it doesn't appear in the wikitext. Renerpho (talk) 21:41, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Even if we don't like the text of WP:CRYSTAL, there are plenty of articles that provide context for the election (even discounting speculation). There are articles about whether Trump can run again, about how the 2024 elections may have created additional swing states, and there is the basic information about how the 2028 election will proceed (e.g. number of electoral votes). - Enos733 (talk) 02:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep It is notable and the next U.S. presidential election on the schedule. After the 2023 gubernatorial elections, the 2027 gubernatorial election pages were created immediately.

  • Comment — Obviously, no one is claiming that the next U.S. presidential election is insignificant. The question is whether a page for the election is sustainable this early. Four politicians who have expressed interest—their plans changing notwithstanding here—is not enough to justify an article at this time. Tucker Carlson is among the potential Republican candidates, cited solely by a prediction from Joe Rogan. That conjecture is reading into the crystal ball from a source who is not foreign to espousing falsehoods. From WP:FUTURE: If preparation for the event is not already in progress, speculation about it must be well documented. No preparation is publicly known at this time, only gleaned from either dubious figures or journalists jockeying to be politically savvy. I am not against a draft to gather information and establish a general page structure, but it is very apparent that there needs to be a second administrator intervention to ensure that this process aligns with WP:FUTURE. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 04:16, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. The speculated candidates section probably needs to be reduced in size (we don't need to put every single Democrat and Republican with a national presence there), but some candidates such as Whitmer have already started floating runs.

  • Strong delete. Pure speculation (check sources: "2028 Presidential Wannabe", "What if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez", "Ted Cruz says he expects", "Mike Pence looks like", "we just don't know what it will be", etc.).

  • Strong keep as per WP:CRYSTALBALL (Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place, which is the case here as US elections are fairly notable and are fixed every four years, so it's fairly sure it is almost certain to take place, barring a world-ending event or the US turning into a full-blown dictatorship) and past precedent (articles for "next" elections are typically created once a winner for the previous election has been called; there is even a specific section for how to name future election articles at WP:NCELECT. Furthermore, this is specially true for US elections: check the case for the 2024 article which was created/moved into mainspace on 8 November 2020). Also, we already have primary polling and multiple sources covering the 2028 election, so this is obviously not unsourced. Impru20talk 10:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep Per WP:CRYSTALBALLGor1995 𝄞 12:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Articles on the next general election in a country usually are created before they take place. Keeping that in mind, the article is in the spirit of NEVENT. There are already enough sources, post-5 November, to determine notability. The speculative nature of some of the sources is not contrary to CRYSTALBALL, because this is a scheduled, notable event, very likely to take place. Dege31 (talk) 14:28, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CRYSTALBALL specifically states editors should avoid creating articles if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research by mentioning an election article in the far future. It is clear that there is some information about the election of 2044, that it will occur and involve the Electoral College. That does not make it worthy of inclusion at this time. Is the information here not a duplicate of Wikipedia's article on U.S. electoral processes? The editors arguing for deletion are asking to keep this article space vacant until such a time comes where there is unique information. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 19:15, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"1. Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place.

By comparison, the 2044 U.S. presidential election and 2048 Summer Olympics are not appropriate article topics if nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research." The 2028 election is not any old "next event" that will take place, it is specifically listed in the policy as one of two "appropriate topics". It is notable because it is the next one in line, that is what makes it notable, verses the 2044 election, which does not happen until after many elections. The article also is not just "that it will occur and involves the Electoral College", there are reliable sources that discuss future candidates, from after 6 November 2024, and the consensus is sources from a few months before are okay, and there is even sources discussing if the election won't happen because they think President Trump is a dictator, which although it is silly, sources Wikipedia considers as reliable state it, therefore what they say can be included. This is all things that could be included in the page from reliable sources. Strong Keep. TopVat19sEver (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As noted by TopVat19sEver, WP:CRYSTAL does specifically mention this article as one that should be kept. So there is that. However I would still like to understand the policy a bit better. In particular, WP:CRYSTAL states that if nothing verifiable can be said about a future event yet, it is premature to create an article.

This is vandalism likely from people who think President Trump is a dictator due to the legacy media repeatedly referring to him as one.

Why is an IP editor so vociferous about topic bans? To correct your incorrect statements, I reverted two edits that were not conetructive for this article, the first being vandalism and the second violating copy and paste policies regarding articles others work on.

  • Keep - standard practice is to create an article for the next upcoming election in a regular election cycle as soon as the previous election concludes, and since the United States has fixed elections, this is at the correct title.

  • Strong Keep:Like others have said, the article for the 2024 election was created right after we knew who the president-elect in 2020 was.

  • Strong keep: This is the next U.S. presidential election, and it's entirely appropriate to have an article dedicated to it. There's precedent for this, too. Let's look at the last few presidential elections and when their Wikipedia articles were moved from draftspace:
2016 United States presidential election: 5 November 2012, 1,464 days before the election, and before the previous election even happened
2020 United States presidential election: 30 October 2015, 1,831 days before the election, and before the previous election even happened
2024 United States presidential election: 25 October 2018, 2,203 days before the election, and before the previous election even happened
But here we are debating whether to keep the article less than 1,460 days before the election, well within the timeline that past articles have followed.
The election is both notable and almost certain to occur as scheduled, as outlined by WP:CRYSTALBALL, where, in fact, "2028 U.S. presidential election" is cited as an example of an appropriate article. Anopisthograph (talk) 04:30, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment I cannot ignore that there are problems with the arguments that are citing the example given in WP:CRYSTAL. Note that since 18 January 2014,[2] WP:CRYSTAL is using a regular expression to determine which article titles are appropriate, and which are not. In this case, they're using
    [[{{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}} + 4 + ({{CURRENTYEAR}} * -1)mod4 }} United States presidential election|{{#expr: {{CURRENTYEAR}} + 4 + ({{CURRENTYEAR}} * -1)mod4 }} U.S. presidential election]]
    Right now, that formula leads to the 2028 election, and it has done so since 1 January 2021. This means that it already was given as the explicit example of an appropriate article title when we last deleted it on 24 April 2021 (when it was still a redirect to United States presidential election).[3] WP:CRYSTAL will automatically switch this to the 2032 election on 1 January 2025, and I don't think that article would have any chance to survive AfD for another few years.
    This was brought up in the April 2021 discussion. The most interesting arguments I find there come from Elli and Reywas92. Reywas92 argued for salting the title, and that it should be protected until November 2024, just as the 2024 page was protected until after the 2020 election. I find that a sensible policy, and a strong counter-argument to what the nominator said above. Things have actually changed since 2021; namely, the 2024 election is over. Renerpho (talk) 21:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I find the arguments problematic because 1. I don't think that formula has ever undergone vetting by the community, 2. there is no way to mathematically calculate if an article title is appropriate or not, and 3. it gives the impression that the specific examples have been listed purposefully, which is not true.

  • Comment — I have yet to see an argument to support this article that does not already note that WP:CRYSTALBALL mentions this article, which should not be treated as gospel when the intent of CRYSTALBALL goes against this article, or does not run afoul of WP:OTHERSTUFF. I would love to hear an argument that is not either of those two invalidated points. Editors who are supporting keeping this article should read WP:NOPAGE, which states Sometimes, when information about a future event is scarce, coverage may instead be better suited to a larger encompassing article (see also Wikipedia:CRYSTAL). There is no information about this election other than it will occur, that it will involve the Electoral College, and that there are some states that might vote one way. If that is the criteria for an election article, I'll start working on 2032 United States presidential election immediately—or, the next fifteen election articles, should time permit. An article should not exist because it is notable. If there is no coverage on a future event, it should not have an article. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 04:55, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is a standard followed near-universally on Wikipedia that information about the next election (regardless of country, election type, etc) is considered to be worthy of an article. I don't know if it is formally written down anywhere but if not, it probably should be formalized as a guideline to hopefully dissuade the proliferation of time-wasting AfD nominations like this one. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 05:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFF. If there are equally-as-void articles about other future elections, some of which I am aware of, then those should also be sent to AfD until information emerges. Articles should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, not because it is "standard" to write these articles even if it means including the opinions of random journalists. How does this address the point about this article having no information? Why is the next election important to note—when there is no information currently, might I reiterate—and not the next next election? The same amount of information exists about both topics, and both are notable. The point here is that topics, such as the one in question here, may not have information currently. Wikipedia should not have this article up until that changes, in the same sense that creating Death of Jimmy Carter might be premature though notable—despite the fact that there is more information about preparations for his death than there are for the next election.
As an AMPOL editor, I'm well-aware of what sources are currently stating, but I was struggling to find pertinent articles to support my userspace draft of this article save for an affirmation that Trump would not run again that is now self-evident. If there are a few headlines specifically containing the year "2028" about the presidential election, beyond the passive inquisition "Here's who might be running in 2028", then an article would be suited. Presently, that does not appear to be the case. This is not an arbitrary standard—it is effectively WP:GNG. If an article is only supported by material that would otherwise violate WP:FORUM, as speculative articles about who might be running in 2028 are, then it would be deleted without hesitation. No significant coverage about the 2028 election exists, as far as I am aware. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 06:12, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
> then those should also be sent to AfD until information emerges
That has unfortunately happened many times. Every time the result is the same, the vast majority of users calling out whichever user made the nomination for wasting time and the AfD nomination quickly being closed. This is why there's probably a need to draw up an actual policy on this to stop it happening in future. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 09:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a time-wasting exercise, valid points are just not being shared. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 15:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's just an internet encyclopedia, a website.
It's notable, its presumed notable, we have precedent supporting it, it's causing zero disruption by existing.
The community doesn't want it deleted, and quoted a policy with their reasoning. Why not edit elsewhere? DarmaniLink (talk) 13:17, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably, that is not true. When the article about the 2020 election was moved to mainspace almost four years ago to the day, there were plenty of candidates there who had no realistic chance of running, e.g. Meghan Markle, the Trump brothers, and Mark Cuban. This article is in a better shape than that one was, but there are still speculation issues, namely with the prospects of a senator-elect, Ruben Gallego, running for president. "It's causing zero disruption by existing" is not an argument, nor is stating that editors have quoted policies—erroneously, I might add. Again, this does not address any of what I said last night. Assuming that the speculation was removed, what would be left is duplicative content. If this article isn't deleted, what does that set a standard for? As long as an event is notable it deserves to be an article? If that is consensus, it seems only justified that editors should get to work creating the next twenty election articles in mainspace. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 15:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: per past precedent and WP:CRYSTAL which allows articles on next election. But also having a list of potential candidates (where none have announced their candidacy yet) is purely speculative and violates the spirit of WP:CRYSTAL.

  • Keep - I am very unconvinced by the sources found so far. A school should meet WP:NORG, and although SCHOOLOUTCOMES says it is sufficient to meet GNG, the point of GNG is to find coverage in multiple reliable sources from which an encyclopaedic article can be written. This is not met by wrestling teachers, stories about cellphones in classrooms, or a local paper's primary source news report of the near completion of the school building (this last is good to confirm the date the school was built, but what else?). The launch of an Arts-Études program perhaps gives a little more to say, although it needs secondary sourcing. Ideally we would have coverage in books, especially histories, to establish notability. I found one here [4] which, according to the index, covers this school on page 326. However I was unable to persuade google to show me that page in preview and I cannot access the work through any library service and it is only available from Amazon as a paperback or hardback. I note, however, the publisher is McGill-Queen's University Press, and the topic is such that it is likely this is a significant mention. I next turned to other publications. A teacher wrote this [5] and there are quite a few other cases of the school getting mentioned becuase of teachers (including the teacher who wrestles, of course). But again, these don't allow us to write about the schools. This study [6] however, is interesting. It looks at subject grade progression in Protestant Montreal high schools and Rosemount is the trial case and thus referred throughout. A choral programme at the school his discussed in this book [7]. Not at great length, but it is something. I think there is enough to keep this article, although I note that the inability to actually read what looks like the best source leaves this a little in the air, and presents a challenge for the page writers.

Found the Luna Monthly review, it's not super long, but it is certainly evaluative. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:49, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for finding the Luna Monthly review, PARAKANYAA. That's not enough yet for me to change to keep, as it is a non-notable fanzine. Schazjmd (talk) 15:57, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The notability of a source has no impact on its reliability, or plenty of reliable academic journals are unusable. If you meant just in the context of zines, fair, but it actually does appear to be a notable publication as searching for it in some science fiction history sources showed some sigcov. No one has written an article yet. Zines are not always unreliable, they just must achieve some kind of reliable recognition, for example the albums project has tons of zines listed as reliable sources. It also involved several notable people.
With the Sci fi encyclopedia saying about this publication that it was "notable for its professionalism and its exceptionally thorough review coverage, for which it is a useful research tool. Reviews – some by Greg Bear – were often good", that counts for me. The fact that it was indexed in the sci fi book review index is also a sign that it had some level of acceptance in the wider scene. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:56, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hyper-local trade organization of small sphere of influence. A quick WP:BEFORE didn't find sources suggesting WP:NORG is met, in particular WP:AUD. A lot of local regions have local trade organizations. This doesn't particularly stand out as notable and is not significant enough of a global enyclopedia.

Article about a song, not properly referenced as having any serious claim to passing WP:NSONGS. As always, songs are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- the notability bar for songs requires evidence of their cultural significance (charting, awards, sufficient coverage and analysis about the song in reliable sources to get it over WP:GNG, etc.) -- but existence is the only notability claim being attempted here, and the article is completely unreferenced for the purposes of establishing that it would pass GNG.

Channel with 99% reruns of older series, their programming lacks notability. Fram (talk) 07:56, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or delete other articles First, note on the reason this article was created. The material in this article was transferred from MeTV Toons, which made the article as noted "too long to comfortably read the main article". This article/list is not any different from others on Wikipedia. It contains references provided by other editors for verification. This article is directly the same as others under the category: Lists_of_television_series_by_network. Please visit this category to confirm. If we limit articles/lists to original programming and not list rerun programs, we will need to delete a lot of articles/lists such as ION or Antenna TV for example. Thus, what do we consider as "notable"?. This is not the only channel that is currently listed on Wikipedia as per quote "Channel with 99% reruns of older series, their programming lacks notability." Msw1002 (talk) 19:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One thing I do say about this list article, it does need some cleanup. However, deletion doesn't sound correct. Rivertown (talk) 00:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Every television channel that exist doesn't get to list every single program they show. These are shows someone else created for different channels. Only one original program, so no need for a list for just that. Dream Focus 15:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment As someone mentioned above, where does it say a list qualifies as notable when it only lists original programs specifically? I can see the concern over a list, especially not referenced. I did not create this list, just moved it out of the main article, which was becoming too long with this list included. The lists such as List of programs broadcast by Antenna TV and others have been on Wikipedia for over a decade with no issues at this point. Just mentioning....

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I don't see many P&G-based views here. The WP:TV essay says nothing about notability hinging on the originality of the programming, and adherence to GNG wasn't addressed here even once. We also tend to discard WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS-type votes, exemplified here with the retributive, "Keep or delete other articles". As always, a critical source assessment would be helpful.

Weak Keep: Reliable sources such as ABC News and Variety Magazine covered MeTV's programming when they launched, so it barely passes WP:NLIST.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:50, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't that just deserve a paragraph or two in the main article giving examples, and mentioning original programming there, rather than listing everything the channel broadcasts on this dedicated list article? --woodensuperman 22:34, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article provides more details about the kind of programming the channel carries instead of just "cartoons". Such as it doesn't have more adult themed cartoons. However, if this article is kept, it needs to be tagged for cleanup. Right now it looks a bit messy. Msw1002 (talk)
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a directory. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I did a search on the ABC News site and found no hits for MeTV Toons. I searched Variety and found this story, which doesn't actually list programmes - it lists characters in those programmes. Weirdly it does mention the programmes broadcast on Cartoon Network's Boomerang channel, but only briefly. It's possible this is just an example of Google becoming weird nowadays, but at the very least I don't see the coverage discussed above - I'd be looking for at least two pieces of WP:SIGCOV of this channel's programming to pass WP:LISTN and I don't see any at all. FOARP (talk) 19:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Note: You are correct about ABC News. Not surprised, MeTV Toons is basically competition to Disney (ABC), so they will probably never mention them. I did find sources such as Variety, Forbes, Deadline, TVLine when I searched though. Msw1002 (talk) 00:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NEVENT, no continued coverage, all coverage dates to the week (mostly just the day, it fell off incredibly fast) this happened, fails WP:LASTING extremely and the coverage is not analytical or in depth enough to compensate. A lot of tragic things happen in Haiti. Most do not get continued coverage. Death toll is not notability. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thudinspecies (talk) 09:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How do you know that it will? I edit in this field constantly, you tend to get a feel for what will and won't, and in some countries they just never do. I really doubt this will sustain lasting coverage, considering how quickly it dropped off the news. There are too many incredibly high death toll tragedies in Haiti. Much less an academic publication. I have read about terrorist attacks that killed 100 people that did not sustain lasting coverage (for clarity, not in Haiti, but in another country that has constant high death toll incidents)
It received an incredibly short burst of coverage, with no continuing impact, not "absolutely massive" by any means. That is not notability. This doesn't meet the GNG because all sources are WP:PRIMARYNEWS, so none actually count for notability when it comes to the GNG. A sign to wait would be if any of this coverage was analytical at all, but it isn't, it's just "thing happened" and then everyone moved on the next day because Haiti has massacres and tragedies with a regularity none of its neighbors do.
The article does not pass the GNG, as the GNG requires secondary sources, and every source here is primary. It also does not pass any bit of WP:NEVENT. PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  3. About a protest song, doesn't specifically mention the subject as far as I can tell English
  4. What appears to be a film review, doesn't mention the subject as far as I can tell English
  5. What appears to be a promotional bio of a different individual - English

Still not seeing anything that would demonstrate SIGCOV.-KH-1 (talk) 05:11, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I appreciate your feadback however:
  1. It is not a promotional website, there is not a part of website stating user can create a profile or bio. the National Diversity Awards website is not a promotional platform where individuals can create their own profiles. It is a curated, third-party site that publishes detailed nomination profiles for individuals recognized for their achievements. Wikipedia's notability guidelines for biographies of living persons, such as WP (General Notability Guideline), accept third-party recognition and profiles published on award platforms as potential sources. This source provides coverage that is independent and detailed enough to establish some notability.
  2. The February issue of Moscow Tonight, available on MagCloud, includes four dedicated pages about the subject. This source should meet WP guidelines, as it provides detailed coverage on the individual. The fact that the magazine is behind a paywall does not negate its validity as a source, especially since Wikipedia encourages the use of reliable sources regardless of paywalls (WP). To address your concern about access, I am happy to provide additional details if needed."
  3. I understand there may have been a translation challenge here, as the article on BBC 'Persian' references the individual within the broader context of cultural movements. The piece mentions notable figures, including the subject, associated with influential trends in this movement. BBC Persian is a reputable source, and while the English translation may lack some nuance, the article reflects the subject’s role within a culturally significant narrative, which aligns with WP when viewed as part of their broader impact. I’m happy to clarify any specific details from the source in the original Persian to ensure accurate representation. This source, while not comprehensive on its own, does contribute valuable context alongside other supporting sources that I am preparing to further substantiate the article.
  4. Mashregh News Article on a Protest Song (Bella Ciao and artists who sang) : While this article is not just a film review and may not solely focus on the subject, it is worth noting that WP allows for multiple sources that contribute to notability as a collective rather than needing to be individually comprehensive. This piece references the subject within a context that showcases their influence and relevance, particularly within cultural discussions, which contributes to notability even if indirectly.
  5. Roozaneh.net Biography (Appears to Be a Different Individual): I understand the concern here. It seems this website might be confusing in English translation but i have added this as there is a connection to related page as in the article it was mention of music collaboration and some refers. I am willing to remove it from consideration and focus on sources directly pertinent to the subject. My apologies for any confusion here.

  • Delete "Singer, songwriter, actor, social media Influencer and product designer" - I mean, you really do have to make your mind up which you're going to be! However, subject fails WP:GNG across any/all of these. The links provided in addition to those in the article are singularly unconvincing. The scant namechecks or one-line mentions of the subject do not collectively convince me that we are anywhere near a pass of WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:17, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your feedback on the article. I would like to address the concerns you raised, with reference to Wikipedia’s guidelines to provide clarity. Based on Wikipedia’s guidelines and standards, this article meets the criteria for inclusion and should not be deleted. Here are several key reasons:
    1. Relevance of Multiple Roles: It’s not uncommon for Wikipedia to document individuals with multi-disciplinary careers, as this reflects the diverse nature of modern achievements. Figures such as Donald Glover and Jennifer Lopez are recognized for having multiple notable career paths. This bio reflects Ario Nahavandi’s notable roles across multiple fields, which aligns with Wikipedia's standards on verifiability and notability across multiple occupations.
    2. General Notability Guideline (WP): The subject's notability is supported through the National Diversity Awards , which is a curated platform recognizing notable figures. The profile published on this platform isn’t self-authored but rather part of an established award process, lending credibility as a third-party endorsement. This source provides significant coverage of the individual’s achievements.
    3. Reliability of Paywalled Sources: Wikipedia acknowledges that paywalled content is permissible, as stated in WP . The "Moscow Tonight" magazine article provides four pages dedicated to Ario Nahavandi, discussing his work and influence in detail. Although behind a paywall, this article offers depth and aligns with WP ’s requirement for significant coverage. Paywalls do not undermine a source’s validity, as Wikipedia emphasizes content reliability over accessibility.
    4. Verification and Language Nuances: The Persian articles references Ario Nahavandi within the context of each lines that eas mentioned and also cultural movements, specifically his version of the protest song "Bella Ciao." This song has significant cultural relevance and is widely associated with advocacy and social justice, topics that Nahavandi’s work reportedly explores. This source establishes the subject's cultural impact and positions him within a movement. While it may not be the sole basis for notability, it provides valuable context and should be considered alongside other sources.
    5. Indirect Contributions and WP : Wikipedia allows for cumulative notability, where references collectively demonstrate a subject’s influence and relevance. Although some sources provide indirect mentions, when considered together, they support the subject’s impact, especially within the Persian music scene and cultural discussions. WP does not demand each source to be exhaustive on its own; instead, they collectively establish the subject’s role within the field.

  • Delete: Does not pass notability for musicians, I don't see any charted singles or awards... Source 15 is about a government minister speaking about another person/actress, I'm not sure what that has to do with this person. Source 2 is a promotional link, as is source 4. Source 24 is a spotify link... Nothing of substance to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:20, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the feedback, but I feel like I’m repeating myself here and my previous responses aren’t getting through. I’ve explained the sources and how they align with Wikipedia’s guidelines multiple times now, but the same points keep being brought up without addressing what I’ve already clarified. Let me break it down again.
    1. Notability for Musicians: According to Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for musicians (WP), charted singles or awards are not the only ways to prove notability. There are plenty of other paths, like independent coverage from reputable sources—which is exactly what this article has. Sources like National Diversity Awards, Moscow Tonight, and Persian articles offer solid, independent discussions about Ario Nahavandi and his work, which should count toward notability.
    2. Independent Sources, Not Promotion: Calling sources like the National Diversity Awards and Moscow Tonight “promotional” doesn’t seem fair. These are third-party sources with editorial oversight, not advertisements. Just because they highlight his achievements doesn’t make them promotional—they’re providing coverage, which is what WP looks for in reliable sources. These follow the General Notability Guideline (WP) for third-party verification.
    3. Government Minister Source: There seems to be some confusion about Source 15, where a government minister is talking about an actress. This source helps give cultural context—it’s not unusual to include related content for background on notable figures, especially when covering their influence in a specific cultural scene. This isn’t off-limits according to WP guidelines; it’s a way to round out the picture.
    4. Spotify Link: Yes, there’s a Spotify link, but it’s only there as a supplement, not to prove notability. Tons of musician articles on Wikipedia include links to their music platforms—it’s standard practice to help readers access their work. The main argument for notability here still relies on the independent, reliable sources.
    5. Following WP Guidelines with References: I’ve made sure to use references that follow Wikipedia’s guidelines. But it feels like they’re being dismissed, even though they meet WP’s standards. To show the inconsistency, there are lots of Wikipedia articles with broken or outdated references that still stay up, like Mohsen Chavoshi’s page. I could list pages like this all day, yet this article is being picked apart for sources that actually work.
    6. Concerns about Paid Editing: I’m aware there are people who offer paid services to approve articles, which goes against WP’s principles. If the resistance here is because I didn’t pay someone, I’d rather the article be deleted than compromise Wikipedia’s integrity. But I’ve put in the work to follow WP’s guidelines and provide solid sources, and I just want this to be reviewed fairly and will be able to try to find another reference in case if the feadback be fair. In short, I’ve followed Wikipedia’s rules by providing reliable sources that show notability. While they may not fit one rigid definition of notability, they definitely meet WP’s flexible standards, especially for culturally relevant figures. I’d really appreciate it if my previous responses could be reviewed before the same issues keep coming up.
    Thanks, and I hope we can come to a fair decision here. Lanak20 (talk) 21:12, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are repeating yourself, thank you for the input but repeating it again and again isn't helping. We're able to evaluate the sources and come to a fair decision with regards to notability. This isn't a quick YES or NO, but we review all sources against guidelines here. Oaktree b (talk) 15:43, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Simply releasing music isn't enough for notability. The acting "career" appears to be a demo tape and several small roles, which aren't notable. There seems to be nothing about the influencer or product designer as noted, implying these aren't notable. We've yet to prove this is more than an individual with a good marketing team. Oaktree b (talk) 15:40, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, I understand where you're coming from, but there’s still some misunderstanding about the significance of Ario’s work and the guidelines around notability. Let’s break it down.
    1. Notability Beyond Just "Releasing Music": Yes, simply releasing music isn’t enough on its own, but that’s not the only factor here. We have multiple independent sources that discuss Ario’s impact in his field—this isn’t just about “releasing music.” Publications like National Diversity Awards and BBC Persian don’t cover everyone; they choose to feature people making a unique impact. This aligns with Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines (WP), which don’t require an artist to have charted singles or awards if there’s other significant coverage.
    2. Acting Career: Ario’s acting career goes beyond “demo tapes” and small roles. He’s participated in multiple verified productions, and his acting has received independent coverage. Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for actors state that an actor can be considered notable if they've participated in productions or performances that have received media attention, even if they’re not lead roles in blockbuster movies. It’s not just about playing a leading part; it’s about building a portfolio and being recognized within the industry, which Ario has done. Independent coverage discussing his involvement in these projects supports his notability as an emerging actor.
    3. Influencer & Product Designer: I understand that his work as an influencer and designer may seem unconventional in terms of traditional “celebrity” roles. However, these aspects are part of his public persona and career, with coverage that explores his influence and contributions. For example, his work on immersive concert experiences is notable as a unique innovation, which aligns with notability standards if covered by reliable sources. The guidelines support recognition of multi-faceted careers that involve creative influence, especially when such roles are supported by independent sources that verify their impact.
    4. Good Marketing Team: I understand the concern about this being “good marketing,” but the coverage here isn’t promotional content—it’s independent reporting from reputable sources. The National Diversity Awards and BBC Persian don’t cover everyone; they feature people making a significant, recognized impact. This isn’t just about publicity; it’s about being recognized by third-party sources. Ario's notability fits within Wikipedia’s guidelines for emerging figures whose work and influence are acknowledged by independent sources.
    5. Consistency in Applying Guidelines: I’ve genuinely made an effort to follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, with reliable sources that provide real coverage—not promotional links. It feels inconsistent to dismiss these achievements when Wikipedia has plenty of articles on individuals with fewer sources or less independent coverage. Let’s make sure we’re applying notability guidelines equally across all entries.
    Finally, I want to emphasize that Wikipedia is based on objective standards and guidelines, not on individual opinions or assumptions. You can’t disregard or downplay someone's notability just because it doesn’t align with your personal perspective. I’ve provided sources that meet Wikipedia’s standards, and instead of relying on subjective judgments, I’d ask that we evaluate this entry according to Wikipedia’s actual guidelines.
    If there's still disagreement, let's address it with clear references to the guidelines, not personal viewpoints. We should avoid making assumptions about intent or credibility based on preference, and instead, keep the focus on Wikipedia's principles of neutrality and verifiability rather than personal assumptions and opinions. 212.132.245.64 (talk) 17:45, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And finally, you still haven’t answered my question: Have you scrutinized the countless other Wikipedia articles with broken reference links, like the one for Mohsen Chavoshi and many many more? Would you like me to provide endless examples of articles with references that can’t even be opened? How did those articles get approved? Did they pay Wikipedia editors? that's why?
    Is my article, which follows Wikipedia’s guidelines with reliable, verifiable references, getting unfairly dismissed because I haven’t paid anyone? It feels like I’m facing subjective opinions here rather than an objective review based on Wikipedia’s own standards for notability and would love to speak to somone who is incharge above people with personal unfair judgments feadback which even don't know about wikipedia guidliness. 212.132.245.64 (talk) 17:52, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Lanak20, please do not edit logged out of your account. And, as far as I can see, you've posted the same lengthy comments 4 times in this discussion. It would be wise for another participant to "hat" your remarks as they have gotten repetitive and looks like they've been generated using AI tools.
And please stop with the aspersions of paid editing, 99.99% of editors on Wikipedia are volunteers (and the paid editors are self-identified) so you are making unfair accusations against the community by accusing them of bias through paid editing. Please stop stating this and, in general, I think you have put forth your argument multiple times so you don't need to participate here any longer unless it is to address a question asked of you. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 05:31, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't ask me to not respond when you are giving incorrect feedback directly to my article.
Let’s be clear: I’m not accusing all editors of paid bias, but when I see countless articles with broken links and questionable notability stay up while mine is under relentless scrutiny, it raises valid questions. Mentioning the offers I've received for paid publishing isn’t an “aspersions” tactic—it’s a reality check on the inconsistencies here.
If my comments are repeated, it’s because critical points are being ignored. I expect this process to follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, not personal biases. If my article meets Wikipedia’s notability standards, it should be treated fairly and not dismissed based on opinions.
The first editor’s main question was, "Can you provide links to three sources that discuss him in detail?" I provided three, with the first two being strong by any guideline standard. If the third source (BBC News) is the issue here, I’m willing to replace it with another that meets the criteria. However, there’s no reason not to accept the first two, as they clearly follow Wikipedia’s guidelines.
And still, none of you have addressed my question about broken links in approved articles, like Mohsen Chavoshi. Another example is Benyamin Bahadori which only has five references, four of which are irrelevant to the content, with just one barely covering the subject. If those articles are approved with weak sources, why is mine, with multiple valid references, getting unfairly judged?
How many more do you want me to lind up for you?
It seems the “99.99% of editors” are doing quite a selective job if articles with broken, irrelevant, or minimal references can pass while valid, guideline-compliant sources for mine are dismissed for some reason which is not paid to get published apparently. Lanak20 (talk) 12:21, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lanak20, there are close to 7 million articles on Wikipedia. We don't have a system of regularly evaluating all of them. We evaluate articles that have been nominated for deletion through one of our deletion processes (CSD, PROD and AFD/RFD/CFD/etc.). If you see articles that you don't believe are in line with Wikipedia's standards for notability and sourcing, feel free to nominate them yourself for a deletion discussion. It's up to editors to take care of this but, like I said, we are all volunteers and we work as much or as little as an editor wants and contributes to the areas they want to contribute to. This is no one's "job" where we have to meet a job description's expectations. And if anyone has offered to help you in exchange for money, it's a well-known scam where the person takes your money and either does nothing or does a terrible job. Delete those requests that come your way or forward them to WMF. Liz Read! Talk! 00:15, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying, but let’s set some things straight. I’m fully aware Wikipedia runs on volunteer contributions, and I have great respect for the countless hours invested by the community. But this does not change the fact that when an article is nominated for deletion, it’s fair to expect decisions based on Wikipedia’s guidelines, not selective judgment or dismissal of legitimate sources—especially when those sources align with notability criteria.
You mentioned the system isn’t designed to continually assess existing articles, yet the same notability standards should apply universally to those currently in consideration. It raises valid concerns when comparable articles with weaker sourcing are accepted, while mine, with detailed third-party recognition, is repeatedly undermined.
Regarding paid offers, I'm well aware of scams, and I’m not naïve enough to pay for services that violate Wikipedia’s ethics. However, pointing out this reality is not an "aspersions" tactic but a legitimate concern. My request is simple: hold this article to the same standards consistently applied to others, and evaluate it fairly, based on content and verifiable sources—not assumptions, nor speculation about the individual or their work.

  • Delete Quite simply fails WP:GNG and WP:NSINGER. Theroadislong (talk) 08:40, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This article meets both WP and WP notability guidelines.
    1. Independent Coverage: The article includes multiple independent sources that provide detailed coverage of Ario Nahavandi’s work, not just brief mentions, meeting WP . For instance, National Diversity Awards and Moscow Tonight offer in-depth perspectives on his achievements.
    2. NSINGER Compliance: WP allows for notability even without charted singles, provided there is significant media coverage. These sources fulfill this requirement by highlighting his impact in the arts.
    This aligns with Wikipedia's guidelines, and I ask that the assessment be reconsidered based on these points. Lanak20 (talk) 12:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for recognizing the work I’ve done to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. However,
    WP
    requires "significant coverage in reliable, independent sources"—but it does not specify that coverage has to be from “major” media outlets alone. Reliable sources that provide in-depth, independent assessment are precisely what matters here, regardless of the source’s global status. Many notable articles on Wikipedia rely on niche sources as long as those sources are reliable and provide substantive coverage. My references fit these criteria, presenting detailed, non-promotional coverage relevant to the subject's artistic and professional impact.
    On WP
    Wikipedia's standard does not call for an artist to reach top-tier fame but to demonstrate sustained and notable activity within their field. Multiple reliable sources support the subject’s career trajectory, influence, and achievements—all qualifying for notability as outlined in WP
    guidelines. I have provided exactly that: credible sources discussing the subject’s career, accomplishments, and background, not promotional blurbs or lightweight mentions. To assert that these don’t count as notability shows a personal interpretation, not an objective application of policy. Lanak20 (talk) 23:19, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Lanak20 (talk), also I encourage you not to rely solely on ChatGPT or any other AI tools. While they can be helpful, I’ve noticed that many of your responses seem to be generated using such tools. Keep in mind that their algorithms evolve based on what you ask them to do, and the output may not always be consistent or aligned with Wikipedia's standards. It’s always best to cross-check and apply your own editorial judgment. Your expertise and careful review make a real difference!--MimsMENTOR talk 13:44, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your assumption about AI usage—please understand that I’m following Wikipedia’s own standards and criteria here with thorough, independent judgment.If points are being reiterated, it’s because Wikipedia’s guidelines are clear, and yet, it seems I am repeatedly having to clarify the exact standards Wikipedia upholds. Any reference to “AI-generated” responses is a distraction from the guidelines and facts that are the backbone of this discussion. Wikipedia policy is built on fair, objective criteria, not subjective speculation. So, please, let’s keep the focus on the actual criteria rather than on unfounded assumptions. Lanak20 (talk) 23:20, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It’s fascinating, really, to observe that some editors here don’t seem to fully grasp Wikipedia’s own guidelines, which may explain why we see an overwhelming number of articles filled with broken references or dubious notability claims staying up on this platform. Wikipedia claims to prioritize accuracy and credibility, yet countless articles with weak or even non-functional citations manage to slip by—or worse, remain untouched—while articles like this one, with references following Wikipedia’s standards, are met with skepticism and marked for deletion.
WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG outline the need for “significant, reliable coverage” in independent sources, not an arbitrary threshold of fame or personal opinion on what counts as “notable.” However, what I’m seeing here is repeated personal interpretation and subjective judgment taking precedence over actual policy.  Nowhere do Wikipedia guidelines support the selective bias that is being applied here —evaluating notability should be based on the sources’ reliability and depth, not personal taste or arbitrary, inconsistent application of the standards.
The reality is that while some articles with little to no credible support linger here, receiving little scrutiny, articles that actually align with Wikipedia’s foundational principles are forced to jump through needless hoops due to editor bias. This raises questions about consistency and transparency in the editing process. If there’s a specific guideline being overlooked, I’d welcome anyone to reference it directly—rather than resorting to vague, personal assessments. Lanak20 (talk) 23:33, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Keep The tone of the coverage presented is relentlessly promotional across the board ("Their mission is to make everyone look and feel their best, and they are well on their way to achieving that goal." Entrepreneur India) and the article definitely falls directly into WP:NOTCRUNCHBASE like a fieldmouse in a combine harvester. It's clear that Indian licenses of otherwise respected titles are presenting nowhere near the standard of objective journalism of their parents. Brandlabs by Inc42 is, for instance, a paid content play. Even the Forbes India coverage is wholly uncritical to an almost unreadable extent, while other coverage presented is clearly the result of paid promotion or company releases and interviews. But even when you take out the praise and purple prose, you're left with funding and IPO announcements - there's nothing of substance to indicate any enduring impact. There is, incidentally, nothing in the sources cited to stand up an involvement with the company by L'Occitane, which just added to my concerns.

Guys, these are tiny pieces - snippets - of coverage in local foreign language print media. If they're more than listings or passing mentions, it certainly doesn't seem so.

Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:54, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alexandermcnabb: I beg to differ with your source assessment. 1. Non-English sources are allowed on WP and contribute to notability in the same way as English sources. Please see WP:NONENG. 2. All the sources I added, except for source 14, are full-length articles entirely covering the film. I have actually come across at least 5 other articles with less significant coverage while searching for sources, and I have already screened them out. I am pretty sure that if I were truly adding sources with merely passing mentions, at least double that number could be included. With 8 strong sources that provide SIGCOV, GNG is undoubtedly fulfilled. —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 16:13, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, absolutely on WP:NONENG - but I can only see very, very short print snippets in Chinese/Mandarin being brought up here. Perhaps someone might like to step up to: "If you quote a non-English reliable source (whether in the main text or in a footnote), a translation into English should accompany the quote."... Because absent that, these sources are a) very short and b) being in print and not English, effectively non-verifiable - WP:PROOF Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Err... Alexandermcnabb, the two reasons you listed are contradictory. As I mentioned, 8 of the 9 sources I cited are full-length articles, averaging hundreds of words each. It is exceedingly demanding for me to translate all of them. If you expect long, detailed articles with SIGCOV on the subject, then anticipating a full-length translation of hundreds or thousands of words in the footnote is unrealistic. Also, I have linked all of the articles, and they are digitally accessible, so being in print is not a concern. —Prince of EreborThe Book of Mazarbul 16:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The sources that have been added have translated titles, and they seem entirely appropriate as references. For example, "After Eleven Years in Film and Twenty-Seven Films, the Early Departed Alexander Fu Sheng’s Directorial Debut Wits of the Brats was also His Unfinished Final Work" is obviously the start of a full article, not a brief mention. Alexandermcnabb's argument that "being in print and not English" means that the sources are "effectively non-verifiable" is a clear violation of WP:NONENG. It may be "effectively non-verifiable" to you at a glance, but there are people in the world who can read Chinese/Mandarin. Toughpigs (talk) 18:04, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Storm Prediction Center meso-gamma mesoscale discussions (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The meso-gamma designation has a clear definition, however it isn't marked on each Mesoscale Discussion individually. There's an OR problem when it comes to determining entry as to determine an entry in the list, barring a secondary source confirming the meso-gamma designation (which I don't believe exist on the list at the moment), the MD must be analyzed by Wikipedia editors and I don't have to go into any more detail to let you know that's a bad idea. I'd accept if this article was completely rewritten with sources confirming each entry's inclusion but I'm not holding out hope this goes down as anything more than WP:LISTCRUFT, as much as I'd like to keep this article. Departure– (talk) 00:55, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – False statement was given in the nomination. "the MD must be analyzed by Wikipedia editors" is a false statement. The definition is clear, as even described by the nominator. Just because the government doesn't mark them separately does not mean editors are "analyzing" it. I'd practically argue the basic principles behind WP:CALC & WP:DUCK. This list, simply put, is when the SPC confirms (1) an ongoing tornado or (2) 100+ mph winds. These are not analyzed by Wikipedia editors, as claimed by the nominator, but rather, literally editors looking at the NOAA text (cited obviously) where the NOAA forecasters (along with any RS media) say there is a tornado. To note, this article was kept following a previous deletion attempt for being "niche" and LISTCRUFT. Given the nominator acknowledged (1) there is a clear definition for this list's topic and (2) stated Wikipedia editors were violating OR (which has no evidence supporting that) and (3) this survived a previous AFD for being niche/listcruft, I see no new deletion reasons to try to overturn the previous consensus to keep this article.
RS media like this article from Forbes discussed the SPC issuance of one of the items on this list: "The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) even issued a mesoscale discussion—a small-scale, short term forecast—alerting the region that radar and environmental data indicated that the tornado was likely an EF-4 or an EF-5. Meteorologists usually don’t put out that kind of a statement while a storm is in progress, but the SPC closed the discussion with a harrowing, all-caps warning: “THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EVENT.” While it may be a partially "niche" topic, it is clearly not OR violations and LISTCRUFT arguments were already under a "keep" consensus. No new deletion reasonings, in my point of view. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 01:38, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion there's far too many "Is this a meso-gamma discussion" topics on the talk page and too many "revert if necessary but I don't think these are meso-gamma" edits that aren't reverted for what I see as fit for inclusion. I see too many gray areas for WP:DUCK (especially considering it's a policy on sockpuppetry and wouldn't hold water on original research). Not every case has a bold "THiS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE EVENT" in it's text. Departure– (talk) 02:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – I myself almost nominated this for deletion too. And I have to disagree with WeatherWriter’s rationale here. And I’ll list the multiple reasons why this needs deleted below:
1. As the nominator points out; while the meso-gamma criteria is very clear cut, the SPC doesn’t mark them. In fact, the term “meso-gamma mesoscale discussion” is so obscure that I didn’t even know about it until I stumbled on this article.
2. Because it is so obscure; and because the SPC itself doesn’t even use the term in ANY of its discussions; it leads me to think that it isn’t the Storm Prediction Center determining which discussions are “meso-gamma”; it is Wikipedia making that determination. Which (unlike what WeatherWriter will tell you), would violate WP:OR and quite possibly WP:LISTCRUFT as well (although I’m not that familiar with the latter, so I won’t say for sure on the cruft part).
Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 01:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – The ONLY keep argument that I might be okay with is if we renamed the title to something like List of Storm Prediction Center Mesoscale Discussions that concern individual tornadoes; since that would remove the WP:OR problems. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 02:00, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I could get behind that, since that would remove the “OR violation” (I don’t see one, but I know you and Departure see one). That is basically what meso-gamma discussions are anyway, so yeah, I would 100% support a renaming over deletion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Departure–: Would this be something you could get behind? That topic would be well-sourced and clear any possible OR violations. If you do get behind it, then this AFD discussion could be speedy-closed and then the article instantly renamed and restructured appropriately. Thoughts? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Really not sure about that one. What connects an MD to a tornado event? I could see news linking watches to events but I'd be shocked if they knew what a mesoscale event. Barring that and obvious cases, there's still the problem of meso-gamma discussions being hard to define without OR (no matter how simple). Departure– (talk) 02:26, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mesoscale discussions are named by the Storm Prediction Center. Like actually, that is their formal name (see SPC Mesoscale Discussions. The Mesoscale Discussion text themselves (for those that are "meso-gamma" directly mention an ongoing tornado. There would be 0 OR as every aspect would be cited. The entire possible OR issue mentioned by You and Hurricane Clyde are on the "meso-gamma" aspect, not "mesoscale discussion", which is a very well-known/well-cited thing. For reference, the SPC has issued thousands of mesoscale discussions. This list, simply put, is those that mention ongoing tornadoes. "What connects an MD to a tornado event" is the text of the mesoscale discussion. For example, this right here is the mesoscale discussion referenced by the Forbes article. which states directly, "...confidence is high for a likely violent tornado. A long-track tornado is expected to continue..." Those are obvious to connect with damage surveys/articles over on the yearly tornado articles (for that tornado, 2020 Easter tornado outbreak#Bassfield–Seminary–Soso–Moss–Pachuta, Mississippi). Others include this Mesoscale discussion which directly states "Intense tornado (EF3+) ongoing" (for the 2023 Rolling Fork–Silver City tornado...note, the mesoscale discussion is specifically mentioned in the article's "Storm development" section) or this Mesoscale discussion for the 2021 Western Kentucky tornado which actually stated, "A strong to potentially violent tornado is ongoing and expected to continue for at least another hour".
In fact, now that I think about it, I highly support keeping the article and renaming/restructuring it to be specifically mesoscale discussions mentioning ongoing tornadoes. No OR issue and those specific mesoscale discussions are often used in other articles as references + actual descriptions in the article text. With that explanation, does that satisfy your possible OR concerns with a renaming Departure–? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:50, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Quick note, RS media does know what a "mesoscale discussion" is. I recommend going to Google, searching "Mesoscale discussion" and then going to the "news" tab. That will save me from linking the hundreds of articles mentioning them. For simplicity, here is an RS news article titled "What Is a Mesoscale Discussion?", so obviously, RS media does know what they are and can explain them, which would solve any "niche" topic arguments regarding a renamed/restructured list for any mesoscale discussion mentioning an ongoing tornado. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:01, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The small scale topic of the article may get it brought back to AfD, but I wouldn't be too opposed to that if it kills the OR concerns. But either way, I'd advise waiting until this discussion closes before taking any restructuring actions. Departure– (talk) 03:02, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion theoretically could be closed now per [[WP:CSK|Wikipedia's Speedy Keep reasonings], since the only 3 !voting editors involved in the discussion all are not opposed to a rename/restructuring. The 7-day AFD doesn't need to continue unless you want it to. So, do you wish to withdraw the AFD nomination and let the restructure/rename occur, or, do you want to wait the full 7 days before that could occur? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 03:15, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Departure–, the SPC does clearly say whenever the discussion concerns a single tornado. They just don’t use the “meso-gamma” wording.
But I am still going to support deletion; and just consider the renaming to be an acceptable alternative. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 05:03, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I should note quickly, the reason the first nomination of this article for deletion ended with arguments roughly stating that it passed notability guidelines due to secondary sourcing and that more sources would be added. However, if you look at most of the secondary sources, most are for the ratings of tornadoes / wind events themselves, not at all the meso-gamma discussions. The meso-gamma discussions are hardly notable in themselves, nor is sourcing for the meso-gamma designation easy to come by directly without interpretation much more volatile and subjective than WP:CALC was intended for. This is also why I'm not fully in support of reworking the article to specific tornadoes, and why maybe the article shouldn't have survived that first AfD discussion. OR and notability of the meso-gamma discussions themselves is the debate, not the notability of the events they're linked to. Departure– (talk) 13:28, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said @Departure–; my !vote to delete ain’t changing. I just threw out the move as an “acceptable alternative” that would solve the OR problem. Nothing will solve the LISTCRUFT problem. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 17:44, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Which, I can understand @WeatherWriter‘s desire to keep the article. After all; he’s the one who created the article. I too would probably be passionate about keeping an article that I created. And would probably be real quick too !vote keep on the list of West Virginia tornadoes or the 2022 Appalachian floods article for that reason. But that still doesn’t change the fact that this is a potential OR violation. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 17:47, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It mentions this school, which would be very signiifcant, except it is apparently impossible - the school was started in 1968. I do not have the book, and I cannot see enough of the preview to unravel this. It may be, however, that the prior school is what is meant.
In addition to these there are very many news articles and other links (lots of books that are self published - so I ignored those). But it is a particular school in a historic building, one of just a few such schools and hosted in a nationally significant naval training centre. It should be kept in some form.

Actions in support of Azerbaijan in Iran (2020) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A poorly sourced, heavily POVish, irredentist, COI looking, non-notable article, basically meant to portray Armenia, the Republic of Artsakh and Iran as the "big bad", a common rhetoric spewed by the Aliyev-ruled regime in Azerbaijan (see Azerbaijani nationalism, Anti-Iranian sentiment in Azerbaijan, Anti-Armenian sentiment in Azerbaijan, all well sourced and which go into more depth). Refers the Republic of Artsakh as a "separatist regime in Karabakh", not even referring to it by name [34], not very neutral.

Poor sources include Brenda Shaffer, under Aliyevs paycheck [35], the racist and irredentist GünAz TV [36], and more poor websites, the majority written in Azerbaijani. Uses the irredentist term "Southern Azerbaijan(is)" as well [37]. If this is so notable, I'm sure high-quality WP:RS in English can be found about this, but there isn't. The Azerbaijani, Russian and Turkish versions of this article was also written by the same person, who was amongst the many people mentioned in this pretty large COI thread about several Azerbaijani wiki users [38]. HistoryofIran (talk) 17:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Unfortunately, there is bias against this article I wrote about the actions of a regime that disregards human rights. I kindly ask as many people as possible to participate in the voting and to familiarize themselves with the facts I will present. Additionally, I request you to review the article yourself and know that I have not yet fully finalized it.

I am writing sequentially regarding the individual's comments about the article.

  • The article is about the protests that took place in Iran in 2020. Hundreds of news articles have been prepared in various languages (including Persian and Armenian) about those detained during these protests. Books have been written, and research papers have been published. Amnesty International has expressed its concern regarding those detained. Several protests have taken place on different dates in more than one Iranian city. Hundreds of people have been beaten and persecuted. Elderly people, women, children, and even disabled individuals have been beaten and insulted during these protests. The person suggesting the deletion of the article refers to it as a "non-notable article." I can only express my regret toward this request.
  • Contrary to what the individual claims, nothing has been written against Armenia in the article. On the contrary, even official Armenian websites have been utilized.
  • Regarding the topic of the "separatist regime in Karabakh," regardless of how you write its name in the article, that territory is recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and there are four UN resolutions regarding its occupation. So how should a regime established in an actually occupied territory be named? Moreover, I have only written the expression in that section. In another part of the article, I referred to that entity as the "so-called Nagorno-Karabakh Republic." Therefore, you can mention that entity in whatever way you wish in the article. It does not affect the subject or essence of this article.
  • There is also no problem regarding "Brenda Shaffer" and "Günaz". If you do not accept those references, you can delete them.
  • It is very interesting that for some reason you are trying to inflate the references to "Günaz", which were used only twice in an overall article with 246 references, to make the entire article appear weaker. Those references also confirm the same fact. You can delete them as well.
  • Regarding the expression "Southern Azerbaijan(is)," that region has been referred to in several historical sources and books related to dialects, territory, and population as "South Azerbaijan" or "Iranian Azerbaijan." It does not matter to me whether people living there are called "southern Azerbaijanis" or "Iranian Azerbaijanis." As far as I can see, you have made corrections related to this in the article. Thank you for your efforts.
  • Other users who will vote should know that a total of 246 references in five different languages have been used in the article. The references include reports from Radio Free Europe, BBC, DW, Iranwire, Voice of America, and reports from the U.S. State Department and Amnesty International. I do not understand what other "reliable sources" the individual wants.
  • There are dozens of video facts, photos, and reports related to these events. You can familiarize yourself with them through external links.

The facts I presented show how biased this individual is towards the topic. I hope the community makes a correct decision. If you need any further assistance or modifications, feel free to ask! --Rəcəb Yaxşı (talk) 08:30, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just that you even used the racist and irredentist Gunaz says more than enough about you and this article, whether you used it 1 or 10 times. I find it rich that you accuse me of being "biased", when your article reads like a Aliyev tabloid. HistoryofIran (talk) 12:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I really do not understand why you are showing such an aggressive attitude.
What is the difference between writing “Günaz” or “GünazTV”?
On the other hand, about Aliyev topic, there are not any statements or reactions neither at the government, nor president level. If there is no such statement then what’s the point of mentioning Aliyev?
Why didn’t you show any reactions toward other parts of my article? Do you have any other issues toward the references other than “Günaz”? Why don’t you talk about them? Rəcəb Yaxşı (talk) 13:04, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did, read up above. It also doesn't directly have to be government issued statements for it be in line with their rhetoric, that goes without saying. This article is taking a heavy pro-Aliyev stance - as you said yourself, others can review the article for themselves. Read also the policies that Archives908 posted. Meanwhile, I'll use the rest of my time to look more into the COI concerns that were brought up about you and the other users. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Keep, it looks like a notable phenomenon and it's not based just on Azerbaijani sources, Voice of America is used 34 times. It's true that Azerbaijani sources might be biased, so I would support trimming the article or balancing it if other sources do not support these claims.

Relisting comment: Please note that while deletion can be used to address NPOV violations, it is only done in extreme cases where the article is unsalvageable. If the topic is notable, and POV or WP:UNDUE can be fixed by stubifying, then deletion is not the appropriate approach. Editors are encouraged to trim down the article to remove POV and UNDUE violations while this AfD is open, and discuss the notability of the topic based on sourcing, rather than reject the current content.

  • Keep. Thank you very much, Owen×.

I would like to reiterate that the person who nominated the article for deletion is biased against the article and its subject, trying to protect the interests of a regime that persecutes, kills, and has imprisoned people for years in a Sharia state. Therefore, I feel regret.

  • Let’s move on to the article. The events described in the article are real. People have fought for days and months, resulting in arrests, beatings, and persecution. Many have been subjected to insults in front of their relatives and family members, and have received lashings to humiliate them. These facts have been confirmed by reputable news sites such as "Voice of America," "Radio Free Europe," "BBC," and by international organizations like "Amnesty International" and the U.S. Department of State.
  • The user who nominated the article for deletion is unhappy because I referenced a certain organization’s site only twice, despite the fact that the article has a total of 246 citations. The overwhelming majority of those citations are from the reputable sites and organizations I mentioned above.Even if the user insists on removing those 2 citations, I would not object, yet they remain dissatisfied for some reason.
  • The user also claims that the phrase "Southern Azerbaijan(is)" is inappropriate. At the same time, I have no objection to "Iranian Azerbaijanis" being used. In fact, I have considered this in the later sections of the article as well.Yet the user is still not satisfied. Why?
  • Furthermore, the individual is also upset about my translations of the articles into other languages. I have translated many of the articles I have written into various languages that I know, and I enjoy doing so. This not only enhances my foreign language skills but also supports the Wikipedia movement.Why does this activity bother this user?
  • Later, the user claims that this article reflects the position of Aliyev. I would like to reiterate to other users that neither Aliyev nor any other members of the Azerbaijani government have made any statements, opinions, or speeches on this topic. Naturally, there is no discussion of this in the article either. Anyone who claims otherwise should provide their evidence.
  • For some reason, this user seems to be trying to hide the actions of the repressive mullah regime, tarnishing the article with unrelated topics, exaggerating minor errors, and disregarding reputable sources and statements, including reports. I hope the community makes the right decision. It is not acceptable to delete such an extensive article and important events due to just one or two minor errors.--Rəcəb Yaxşı (talk) 07:30, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You are only allowed one bolded !vote per discussion. Also, casting aspersions on other participants will not sway the decision your way. Please stick to policy- and guideline-based arguments about the topic and sourcing. Owen× 11:12, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This is just WP:REHASH of your earlier comment with a even bigger sprinkle of WP:ASPERSIONS. HistoryofIran (talk) 13:16, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. These events received coverage in the international media. For example, in Deutsche Welle, RFE/RL, Al Jazeera, so the notability is obvious. NPOV concerns are not the reason to delete the article, they can be addressed by improving it. Grandmaster 11:04, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I do not think notability is an issue. A quick glance at the article shows it draws heavily on reliable sources, such as Voice of America, BBC and Radio Liberty/Radio Free Europe. The event is definitely well covered. Branding the text as "Aliyev-ruled regime propaganda" is not very reasonable given that a great deal of the Azerbaijani sources cited in the article actually represent Azerbaijani opposition (Meydan, Musavat). Some references probably do need double checking, but notability is definitely not an issue. I am also not sure when "irredentism" became an argument in favour of deleting an article on Wikipedia, considering that Republic of Artsakh, the very article the nominator refers to in their deletion rationale, essentially conveys an irredentist concept. Parishan (talk) 02:33, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see that he has been featured in many Turkish and global sources. Yashar Vafaei’s work, particularly his contributions in sustainable investment and economic development, holds significant value for society. The sources are not for promotional purposes but rather drawn from credible global sources that illustrate his impact in the business world and beyond.
