This article needs to be assessed properly per the discussion also going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Galactic Theme. First of all, it is shocking as seeing who accepted the article is now a block user of a sock. While going further on the article talk page I see that who created the article already admitted that he or she was paid and it’s also a sock to who accepted the article. That means they all planned to promote the artist here on Wikipedia with some sort of promotional news on blogs about the artist and his music. Also be aware that this article has never been nominated for AFD. It was the draft that was nominated which was supposed to be a keep. Gabriel (……?) 23:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article by the Indie band Crooks & Nannies is only responsible for talking about 3 albums, this is too poor to deserve an encyclopedic article  could be WP:PROMO & WP:BAND.Alon9393 (talk) 23:05, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dclemens1971 The article mentions 3 albums, and that's it, there is no clear context where you want to get there, it could be pormotional WP:PROMO that is not valid on Wikipedia. --Alon9393 (talk) 23:53, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alon9393`You have not followed the advice you have received from many other editors. Please slow down or stop participating in and creating AfD discussions until you better understand the policies and guidelines. You have not listed a valid nomination rationale under which the article may be deleted. "Only three albums, this is too poor" is not a reason to delete. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:57, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dclemens1971 Self promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or about projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, it must be remembered that the rules of encyclopedic articles apply to this type of page as to any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which can be difficult when writing about yourself or close projects. I suggest you read it WP:PROMO. --Alon9393 (talk) 00:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Alon9393 Believe me, I know what PROMO is. This article is not in any way "promotional." It is a good example of WP:NPOV. The subject may not be notable, I have no idea, but you've advanced no case either way here. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:06, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dclemens1971 Ok, then I'm going to create a musical band and I'll retrofit the main entrance and add only 3 albums. Would you be in favor of that initiative? --Alon9393 (talk) 00:09, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, an artist with no albums could be notable in theory. Sources seem pretty reliable even if the article is short, it's in no way promotional. Microplastic Consumer (talk) 01:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject demonstrates extremely limited levels of notability in terms of coverage actually about the group in question. Search online doesn't reveal any extensive coverage to justify a distinct article for it. Suggest therefore this article be redirected to International Socialist Alternative. Rambling Rambler (talk) 19:37, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For context, previous state of article prior to recent edits was sourced with 19 references comprising:
- 11 via self-published blogs or websites of which 8 were the website of Socialist Alternative and other ISA sections and the remaining three self-published pieces by other communist groups. This is a fundamental breach of
WP:SELFPUB and more importantly WP:ABOUTSELF on the grounds that an article must not be primarily based on self-published information.
- 8 independent sources where the majority of them were dead links or didn't actually make any mention of Socialist Alternative yet were being used as inline citations to imply they were (such as this one about COP26 protests[1]).
As a result of this the article, when reduced to the only sources that could be judged suitable for inclusion (and even one of those is questionable) there is extremely limited demonstration of meeting notability requirements for a standalone article.

  • Keep: although the nominator's rationale is clear and their suggestion might make sense, I totally disapprove the removal of material they have made before nomination and their repeated reverts of reinsertion of it. Yes, some of the coverage was primary, yes, some of it had only passing mentions of the local party but the current version is a grotesque skeleton of what we should have judged, and the lack of mention of the 1st AfD (although indicated during the editwar to which the page was subject) is not extremely fair. This is some sort of procedural keep !vote. Let time allow competent users to rework the page with better sources and take this to AfD later if that seems fair but not like this. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 20:00, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mushy Yank please read the rationale I put above. The material was removed not because it was primary sources, but because it was self-published by the party themselves and was therefore in breach of WP:ABOUTSELF, while many of the claimed reliable sources referenced didn't actually make any mention of the group in question but were instead being used to suggest they were in a blatant WP:SYNTH breach (i.e. Reliable Source states "there was a blue car on the road", self-published source claims "I own the blue car", both presented together to suggest Reliable Source supports claim of who owned the car).
    As to your comment "I totally disapprove the removal of material they have made before nomination and their repeated reverts of reinsertion of it"
    I removed that material a month before nominating it and made fair efforts at both that time and in the intervening month to find reliable sources to document this group. I couldn't find any further mentions. As for my "repeated reverts", those are entirely justified due to the material being reinserted breaching multiple policies as explained in the rationale, and an AfD discussion isn't a reason to stop editing the page to keep it within our policies. Rambling Rambler (talk) 08:06, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your comment. Again, I concur that a redirect might make sense and that your nomination can be justified. And you mention indeed self-published not primary sources, my bad. And indeed your first massive cut was on August, 17 and your first attempt at redirecting on September, 7. But a question then, on August 17, your edit summary is: "Cutting article down to only notable mentions in third-party sources. Only small local papers but look decent enough to call "reliable" for now." Does that not mean that you found that in the version of that day, the article was acceptable as a standalone article? As for the rest, your idea was and is a Redirect of the article but size matters in terms of redirects and if you remove 7 sections, it's a whole different story. If a party is mildly notable as a local version of an international one, can we not source their particular positions regarding various topics with their own publications used as a primary source? (It's a real question). It's not just about FACTS ("I own a blue car/I don't") but about ASSERTIONS/OPINIONS/POSITIONS/: "Johnny thinks that Socialists should own blue cars not red cars." "Johnny said: Red cars are cool; but blue cars are cooler.." (cf. his personal website; assuming Johnny is a notable person, of course; and that's what we're here to decide).
    I personally would not have edit-warred over this during an AfD but maybe you are correct. I wonder why the creator is not voicing their opinion here, btw. Happy to change my !vote to R. or Neutral if you really think the removed material is not "acceptable" as "opinions" attributed to the subject (what they protested against, what they support). -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:22, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mushy Yank thanks for the detailed reply.
    On the change of position between August 17 and September 7, the issue was at the time I was only cutting it down to notable mentions as it stood and therefore thought it best to come back some time later and take another look at it with fresh eyes and once again evaluate it and see if I can find sources I missed first time around (and so far haven't been able to). At present there are basically three sources, of which one is still self-published and I do think it's arguable both ways as to whether it's suitable or not (namely the Kazakh protest).
    can we not source their particular positions regarding various topics by their own publications used as a primary source?
    In short, no because it breaches policy on self-published. Basically we should only be using self-published sources in extremely limited circumstances that are completely non-controversial. For instance an actor's birthday, if they've posted about it on their own site or social media would be an acceptable usage. And when using such sources they mustn't breach five conditions which includes "the article is not based primarily on such sources".
    Articles need to be predominantly based on a range reliable sources that are independent of the article's subject, so when you see articles like this one on niche political groups where pre-cleanup it was almost entirely sourced from their own website it's typically a red flag (no pun intended) that not only is the group non-notable but there are likely COI/WP:NOTHERE issues too (which I think may play into both the previous AfD and the sudden attempt to restore content that is inappropriate). Rambling Rambler (talk) 10:52, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am convinced by the detailed arguments presented by Rambling Rambler and concur that a Redirect can be a good solution. Thank you.-My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 11:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep based on the improvements. It should also be noted that, due to the time period in which the company operated, and due to the lack of contemporary (to that time) Japanese magazines, newspapers, and other possible references being available online, it is likely there are many references that are not accessible to anyone outside of Japan, and those references would even be difficult to find within Japan outside of some specialized libraries or buried in a used book store. Given the high profile of many of their works (especially the three Takahashi series), it's extremely likely those sources exist despite our being unable to access them from 10,000 miles away.

Similar case to Elijeu De Jesus Belo Soares, which was deleted here. Having caps is no longer a 'free pass' and Salvador Carlos needs to pass WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC to be kept.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Declined PROD. This article had no sources for the last seventeen years, but when declining the PROD, the declining user jammed three refs onto the first sentence of the article that do all mention online panels. One appears to be a research paper, which is fine for verification but does not establish notability. The others appear to be brief mentions of online panels in books about market research. I don't believe notability was clearly established by WP:REFBOMBING in this fashion, so here we are. It has not been proven that there is in depth coverage in reliable sources, I don't think we generally consider the <whatever> For Dummies series of books to really be something we should be basing encyclopedia content on, but that's ok because none of the content is actually based on it, it was just tacked on as a ref because a Google search showed that Online Surveys For Dummies contains the words "online panel" a few times. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 19:47, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The first source is not a "research paper" it is an edited volume on the concept of "online panels" AKA a 500+ page book that is literally just about the article topic. The third source is not "brief" it has multiple pages discussing the pros and cons and methods of this kind of research. This appears to be a significant concept in marketing research, see here, here , here, here, dozens upon dozens more, etc. The prod said it had been unsourced for 17 years and therefore was clearly non notable which is nonsense. Also, in what world is refbombing adding three sources? My rationale for citing the less academic source is it provided a better explanation as to what the topic was and I didn't want to go jumping through hoops to find that in the edited volume to cite the first sentence. Probably not the best source but not unreliable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:03, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree on a merge, in any case that seems like one of many possible targets and a fairly arbitrary one - it doesn’t seem any closer linked to the focus group concept than many of the other marketing concepts discussed with it. There is a 500 page book about this and many many many articles. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The book’s definition set out in its introduction is: “an online panel is a “form of access panel, defined in the international standard, ISO 20252 "Market, opinion and social research - Vocabulary and Service Requirements," as "a sample database of potential respondents who declare that they will cooperate for future data collection if selected" (International Organization for Standardization, 2012, p. 1). These panels sometimes include a very large number of people (often one million or more) who are sampled on numerous occasions and asked to complete a questionnaire for a myriad of generally unrelated studies. Originally, these panels were called discontinuous access panels […] Panel members can be re-sampled (and routinely are) to take part in another study with varying levels of frequency.” Not really a focus group since it involves many many more people while a focus group is small. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:32, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Focus group - per Hemiauchenia. These are a thing, but they are not really an independent thing. Focus group is where readers will find the related informatio that supplies the context for the online panel. This should be treated there. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:06, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sirfurboy The problem with that is that this isn't a focus group. It is a form of access panel, according to all of the sources that talk about it. If we're going to merge it anywhere it should be there but that article is worse. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:56, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, Focus group is the correct target. I think access panel should also be merged or redirected there. Neither makes much sense as a subject divorced from the parent subject of a focus group. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:12, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Disagree. It being merged would just make the page worse. It is not the parent subject, they're related subjects but it is not the "parent". It makes more sense for it to be deleted than merged there, as it has no clear space in that article. There is a several hundred page book and several journal articles delineating the specifics of this concept. I think that is enough to keep. PARAKANYAA (talk) 11:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would have thought it was clear that a page that already has a heading "Types" and a heading "Online focus groups" clearly has a place for this. As for space, that page has about 3,000 words of prose - half of the lowest threshold for WP:SIZERULE. So there is no problem with space. The reader is better served by having this aspect of focus group engineering treated in situ, rather than hived off to a page where there is little notable to say. Detailed methodology is not encyclopaedic information per WP:NOTTEXTBOOK. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They are not online focus groups, though. We have an article on online focus groups already - which is what that section is on.

    I do not think these topics are closely related enough to warrant merging. Almost all sources discuss them independently - while there are many hits for them together that's because they're two very widely used polling methods so they show up in a lot of academic studies, obviously. These are not the same thing, their only commonality is being "people you ask the opinion of" which is like, a poll. Focus group is usually a handful of people this is usually tens or hundreds of thousands. They are also established individual things (like, the individual panels) in a way that has no analogy in focus groups. By your logic, we should upmerge all of them including focus group to opinion poll. PARAKANYAA (talk) 09:39, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I do not agree with Merging anything from History because the large portion of it is unsourced and the few that are sourced (4 sources), 1 is a bare url link, 2 is a primary website of the college itself and not secondary independent source. 3 is also primary and just a notification signed by the Registrar and does not cover the larger paragraph on the wiki page. Source is about the name change of institution and that is it. Source 4 has no such backing on page that "In 1947 when India became independent, there were 36 institutions for first-degree engineering education, with an annual intake of about 2500 students." Page 199 to 201 of the source from 1962, there is just a table of some engineering and technology institutes teaching various subjects and very likely the wikieditor probably just counted the table to 36 and wrongly called it total number of engineering colleges in and the source says that from these colleges maybe 2500 students took engineering subjects. Source and the comment on the page do not match. RangersRus (talk) 12:27, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Good catch! Looking through the Wayback archives for his book listings, I noticed one change (the addition of his marriage) appeared in his Amazon bio first, and only later was added to this article. So I'd be inclined to suspect his Amazon author blurb may be the sole source of this article, copied wholesale – especially considering the article is completely unreferenced. But unfortunately Wayback archives are incomplete and don't seem to extend earlier than 2010 for any of his books that I checked, nor for his Amazon author listing, so I can't say for certain. I'd be very curious to compare the earlier ~2006/7 versions of this article with his Amazon bio, but I can't seem to do that via the available archives. GhostOfNoMan 17:28, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Although, to be fair, it could be that his Amazon bio is simply copied from this article; but if that were true, I wouldn't expect to have found additions (like where he lives with his wife) that appear in his Amazon bio before appearing in this article. I tried again to find earlier Wayback archives that I could link here to firmly establish this as a wholesale copyvio, but I don't think any early archives exist. So maybe I'm wrong and instead the Amazon bio is copied from here, and the addition of "David Martin lives in Ottawa, Ontario with his wife Cheryl" is the only copy that happened from Amazon→Wikipedia.

Like pretty much every student organization or team, this WP:ROTM high school band is not notable and should not have a standalone article: fails WP:CLUB and WP:NMUSIC. Sources are non-independent, very brief mentions, or routine local news similar (WP:AUD) to that my own high school's band received. Most content is fluff about personnel and awards received by countless competitive youth groups (11th place finalist, regional champion, etc). There are a lot of student contests and appearances out there like these every year, and even winning multiple times is not basis for an article. May be redirected to Plymouth-Canton Educational Park#Marching band.

I don't believe there are any other individual high school band articles, and similar AFDs include Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pequannock Township Marching Band (2nd nomination), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barnstable High School Marching Band, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Reeths-Puffer Marching Band, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deep Run Marching Wildcat Band, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stafford High School Tribe of Pride Marching Band, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Redlands Terrier Marching Band Reywas92Talk 22:10, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep When I see this source, I am convinced that this band is notable. The edit history of the article in question is also interesting. The Banner talk 00:38, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A four-sentence blurb in the local paper? That's not substantive and is precisely what WP:AUD is for. Newspapers regularly cover local schools' football, basketball, band, academic, and other accomplishments, but we should not have separate articles for every one of those student organizations because they've won something. This should be summarized in the main article, not a separate respository for cruft like the staff (WP:RFCSCHOOLADMIN) and events attended. Reywas92Talk 01:01, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NBAND#9. They won a prestigious band competition in 1990, 1991, and 1999.
    Re: regional media, major media treatment in:
  • Indy Star [8]
  • Detroit Free Press [9]
On another (admittedly slightly WP:ILIKEIT) note, this little school has had an amazing run of success with its marching band. I think we would barely bat an eye at keeping an article about a football team with three national championships. Its article has survived two previous AfD's. What's the sudden urgency to call this article "cruft" and remove it? Oblivy (talk) 01:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's absurd and utterly overly broad to claim NBAND with that. Dozens of schools have won and placed in this competition and dozens more have won other band competitions. This should be recognized in the school's article, not as a standalone article for the student group.
The Indy Star did not actually cover this: as you can see with "Observer life" in the top left, it was covered by a reporter of the local Michigan site Observer (hosted by Hometown Life), and it was not actually published in the Star but https://www.hometownlife.com/story/life/community/observer/2015/07/23/go-blue-cep-band-kellogg-park-plymouth/30579317/ there]. The second link is also the local Canton Observer, not the larger but also local Detroit Free Press, and in the "Local news" page, where they also cover the high school drag race team, an automotive detailing company, and high school football, volleyball, and soccer teams.
I think we would barely bat an eye at keeping an article about a football team with three national championships. This is not true, we do not keep articles about high school football teams, because every school has a team, many have won championships, and student teams and groups should be covered in the school's article. Yet Baltimore City College football, which dates to the 1800s and has notable alumni, appears to be the only one.
Indeed, articles written by a member of the student group, with lists of "legendary" and "preeminent" staff and flowery language, are crufty and should be avoided. Reywas92Talk 20:36, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Detroit Free Press article I was referring to is this [10]. There's a 2007 article which is a broken link. Sorry about that.
Regarding the IndyStar article are we really at the point of picking nits over where it was "actually" published? The point is that they get a variety of press coverage, and most of it reflects their multiple national wins (which kind of blunts your point about other bands winning the competition).
If you're not happy about the language used, then the article should be improved per WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:ATD. Oblivy (talk) 13:19, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His legal cases have been written about in the New York Times. There is no basis for deleting this article. It has existed since 2010.

  • Delete. As always, unelected candidates for political office don't get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates — the notability bar at WP:NPOL is holding a notable political office, not just running for one — but the article is failing to reliably source that he had any serious claim to preexisting notability as a lawyer, since that work is referenced to a mixture of primary sources and glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him. I don't know if I agree that it would need to be salted to prevent recreation — the recreation after deletion was in 2009, so it's not entirely clear that there's an imminent danger of recreation now.

This appears to be a WP:UPE. I draftified it last week, but the same editor re-created it at Draft:Abdul Hannan (Pakistani singer) which I also draftified and despite my request for them to submit draft for review. New users should ideally follow the WP:AFC procedure if they believe the BLP meets WP:N, but this wasn't done.

The draft has now been reverted to the main namespace. After reviewing this BLP, I don't think it meets the criteria for either WP:NSINGER or GNG. The creator of the BLP is actively participating in AFD discussions, even though they are relatively new to WP which suggests they are WP:BE. And I wouldn't be surprised if some IPs vote to keep this BLP in an effort to influence the outcome.

Additionally, the creator of this BLP brought their own creation to AFD to ensure it was rescued through the AfD process and the BLP remains - a practice commonly used by UPEs and socks.

There is no evidence of a set definition of an "unfair" practice, and this article makes heavy use of WP:SYNTH to combine various definitions from different places.

  • Tamara M Buckwold, Statutory Regulation of Unfair Business Practices in Saskatchewan: Possibilities and Pitfalls, 1999 62-1 Saskatchewan Law Review 45, 1999 CanLIIDocs 624, <https://canlii.ca/t/7n2zt>, [12]
  • Heitler, George. “Antitrust, Restraint of Trade, and Unfair Business Practices: Impact on Physicians.” The Journal of legal medicine (Chicago. 1979) 3.3 (1982): 443–460.
  • Jakouloff, Karim. “Social organisations can be guilty of unfair business practices.” Revue de l’Union européenne 580 (2014): 436–440.
Two other examples:
  • Business Torts Reporter (a newsletter for lawyers) had a recurring column called
“Unfair Business Practices.” For example, Business Torts Reporter 24.6 (2012): 166-
  • The U.S. Federal Trade Commission incorporated the term into its mission statements in the late 1990s, e.g., Goal 1: Prevent fraud, deception, and unfair business practices in the marketplace [13].
Buckwold is discussing a term called an "unfair practice" in the statute, defined as:
5. It is an unfair practice for a supplier, in a transaction or proposed transaction involving goods or services, to: (a) do or say anything, or fail to do or say anything, if as a result a consumer might reasonably be deceived or misled; (b) make a false claim; (c) take advantage of a consumer if the person knows or should reasonably be expected to know that the consumer: (i) is not in a position to protect his or her own interests; or (ii) is not reasonably able to understand the nature of the transaction or proposed transaction. That seems like a workable scope.
Buckwold notes that Canadian provinces have laws headed 'Unfair Trade Practices Act" or "Trade Practices Act" or "Business Practices Act". This is a common issue in the project, which can be addressed by putting alternate terms at the top. There's been a shift towards Unfair Commercial Practices in recent years but I think the meaning is the same. Oblivy (talk) 23:07, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, conditionally. It’s not the most common legal term of art, but based upon what’s been found and noted above, it’s got significant coverage. My opinion that WP: HEY is met, is conditioned on someone adding the sources found to the article and making sense of it. In the alternate, if nobody volunteered to work on it, userfy it to my space. I’m not sure if I can work on this one this week. Bearian (talk) 03:03, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Satisfies GNG and does not violate NOT. A topic should not be deleted merely because its definition is unclear or disputed. If we deleted articles on such grounds we would have to delete our articles on law, justice, crime, marriage and sin to begin with, because there is no worldwide agreement about what they actually consist of. For the avoidance of doubt, an article should not be deleted merely because it needs to be disambiguated or split. James500 (talk) 04:08, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for this and to @Bearian as well.

A longstanding WP:SPA article about a company which seems to have operated from 2011 to around 2020. An article in the Spanish Wikipedia was recently deleted ("Entre S/REL y promocional + empresa desaparecida"). There are claims within the article, but mainly supported by links to generic websites, and it seems unlikely that a methodology dating from 2000 can indicate notability for a firm founded in 2011. A brief interview with the company founder can be found (enerTIC, 4 December 2015), but I don't see that or anything else that I can identify as sufficient to demonstrate that this company attained notability.

The article, based on only one source, has no reason to exist. The concept of "democratic liberalism" is quite obscure and the infos here, if deemed relevant for the encyclopedia (I have several doubts), could be moved to Liberalism. While it is true that at the beginning liberalism was not necessarily liberal, in the 21st century liberalism, as well as other mainstream ideology, is quintessentially democratic. More generally, there is no need for a distinct article on the supposed subject of "democratic liberalism".

Keep or rename to something like "Personnel scandals of President Donald Trump."

Perhaps this made a little sense many years ago but I cannot see how it is notable. According to https://www.renewable.news/innovation-technology/russia-wants-to-build-the-worlds-most-powerful-tidal-power-plant-in-kamchatka/ it would cost 200 billion dollars, but why would the government spend on this when they need the money for the war and have so much cheap methane? Also why divert scarce labour from the war effort? Also according to the talk page the numbers are wrong. However I don’t know Russian language or history - perhaps it has some historical notability or there are better sources in Russian than the above link which was just translated from (presumably unreliable) “local media”? https://h2ce.ru/en/projects/detail/hydrogen-power-cluster-based-on-penzhinskaya-tidal-power-plant is a company with almost no info about itself. https://dspace.kpfu.ru/xmlui/handle/net/170412 and many other sources are pre-war when the economics and politics were very different.

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, only primary sources exist on the event with no secondary sources existing on the event. The event does not have in-depth nor continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the crash. Additionally, no lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated as a result of the accident. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 08:03, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep per the amount of fatalities, GNG errors if fully exposed with evidence will sway my vote into Delete, article can be expanded upon still with reliable sources, if not it should be merged into A310 accidents and incidents, entry there needs to be heavily expanded upon. @Aviationwikiflight Lolzer3000 (talk) 18:18, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would usually avoid using the amount of casualties as a way to determine notability since it really isn't one. Someone could presume that an article might be notable with the amount of casualties but all articles should abide by the notability guidelines.
Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." Most if not all of the news articles originated in the aftermath of the accident which makes most of them primary because, "For Wikipedia's purposes, breaking news stories are also considered to be primary sources." To expand further, to qualify as a secondary source, the coverage would have to contain "analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis" of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. None of what I find qualifies as such. In my opinion, there really isn't significant coverage since coverage never really expands outside of the plane suffering a runway excursion.
For the subject specific guideline, WP:EVENT, my argument is already in my nomination, but to quickly add, criterion #4 of WP:EVENTCRIT states that "Routine kinds of news events including accidents, whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance." Per what I've stated above, nothing gives this accident additional enduring significance, even if tragic. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability at minimum requires verifiability in reliable secondary sources of the existence of the article subject: a "controversy" (in cryptography or among cryptographers and professionals in crypto) per title. This was not discussed substantially at the first PROD.
After 3 years, the article has not improved -- there are not sufficient reliable secondary sources that verify the existence of a controversy. The Vice article in section 3 is the only source in the article that actually talks about such a controversy, but it is problematic: it quotes 3 people in online correspondence with no further links: one academic complains about the word "crypto", while another defends language usage generally; the third is a tech professional complaining about the word. It is providing 2 complaints (plus the author's) about the word, but not attempting to report a wider controversy, in academia or the tech professions or anywhere. The rest of the article -- dictionary definitions and all -- becomes WP:SYNTH if the existence of the subject is not firmly established.
There is an option to merge the Vice article into cryptocurrency, but I question whether any of the other quotes in the 3rd section could be due (here or anywhere). SamuelRiv (talk) 06:15, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:REDUNFORK of Kamen Rider Gavv. It only has 2 episodes as of now which fails WP:TVSPLIT for being WP:TOOSOON Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 05:30, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2 episodes as of now, but the series is expected to run weekly for an entire year like every series in the Super Sentai/Kamen Rider franchise. Exukvera (talk) 14:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
probably draftify it for now. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 23:50, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How much episodes are needed so that it can be properly accepted as an article? 10? 20? The series is expected to have 40+ eps. Exukvera (talk) 17:39, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:TVSPLIT it said at least 50 but I saw many list of episodes of animes. Listing 24 as minimum Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 00:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In a few months this discussion will be pointless. All series in this franchise have a separate episode list because the main article would be too big with it. Some anime episode lists have 12 episodes or less, specially when there are multiple seasons with a separate article for each season. You can consider this as a list for another season in a 50+ yrs long show. Exukvera (talk) 06:06, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
it's WP:TOOSOON plus it has a separate article that had an "episode" section Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 06:08, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The episode section in the main article only has the titles. It would be too big with the titles and summaries and references for each ep. All Tokusatsu pages are made in a similar fashion. Exukvera (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then I'll just WP:DRAFTIFY it for the moment until it reaches 24 episodes Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 09:00, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not distinguish Virtualization development from the concept of virtualization. It was recently changed from a redirect to an article by moving material from timeline of virtualization development, but unfortunately that material does not seem to make it at all clear what the subject matter of this article is intended to be. I would guess from the title it is the use of virtual machines for software development, or the development of virtual machines but I don't think either of these merit their own article at it is also not at all discussed in the article as it stands. It also appears to largely consist of WP:OR, and notability cannot be established since it's unclear what the article is about in the first place. I would propose it be merged into Virtualization but I don't think there's anything in the article worth moving at this time. 🌸wasianpower🌸 (talk • contribs) 03:40, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, this is already met by the category: :List of Landlord MPs of the United Kingdom DimensionalFusion 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk) 18:40, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep:
    • Notability: This topic passes WP:LISTN (WP:NLIST). This guideline states "Notability of lists is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources".
    • This alone is sufficient reason to keep, but for completeness I'll address other arguments made above:
      • Primary sources: Given that notability is established by the above secondary reliable sources, the use of primary sources alone is not an argument for deletion. The primary sources in this article are used for verifiability, not notability.
        • These primary sources are suitable as, per WP:PRIMARY:
          • they are "reputably published", by UK Parliament
          • there is no interpretation of the sources; they are only used to make "descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source" (NB. per WP:CALC, "Routine calculations do not count as original research"..)
          • per WP:BLPPRIMARY: "Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it to augment the secondary source". This source, UK parliament’s register of members’ interests, is explicitly mentioned by name in coverage from at least the FT, Sky, Guardian.
      • Undue weight: As I understand it, this is part of the NPOV policy about the content of an article, not whether an article should exist or not. As above, notability is established by reliable sources. The "background" section of the article attempts to keep due weight between criticism of landlord MPs and the view that these criticisms are too simplistic, but I'd welcome any improvements on this.
      • Duplicates a category: WP:NOTDUPE states "Arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided."
    Jonathan Deamer (talk) 16:56, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A signifcant portion of RS coverage is just to do with the scandal involving Jas Athwal. I do not consider a few RS articles on some MPs being landlords to sufficently justify a a list on the subject. I mean there were a number of articles around the time of private gentlemen's only (until this year) clubs like the Garrick Club and the MPs who were memebers of them but that does not justify list creation in my opinion.  Spy-cicle💥  Talk? 19:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 18:24, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but generalise to an article: the topic of landlord MPs has indeed been raised in the past, but the list at present is a snapshot of the situation as at the most recent declarations of interests. (How often do they have to update? Annual declaration, or as circumstances change?) The links above show earlier figures. A useful article could assemble all those various figures from articles, while including the current list. I have more doubts about the category Category:Landlord members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was added, unsourced, to a couple of items on my watchlist. I don't think it's a useful category, and I don't think it will be maintained. In both the category and the list there is what I see as a problem in including MPs who are renting out their own permanent home while relocating to their constituency or London, ie landlords of a single residential property, almost "amateur" landlords, with those who have a portfolio of properties "professional" landlords. This distinction is made visible in the list, but not in the category. The present list could be made more useful if it included data from past parliaments. The category cannot be justified unless a source (the register of interests) is added to each MP's page, and is then checked every time there is a new register to ensure that those who are no longer landlords are removed: unrealistic. A list can be more clearly identified as a snapshot in time. PamD 19:23, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks @PamD; this is a fair rationale RE: the category and useful feedback on the article. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 19:42, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As it stands, the article has transient notability, and WP:NOTNEWS. Why? The article appears to have been created soon after this news story broke. Many MPs for hundreds of years have been property landlords, and they can't all have owned perfect properties; but now it's suddenly newsworthy. The article is titled "List of landlord Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom", but that title does not qualify the inclusion criteria by timeframe - however, it lists sitting MPs, so to avoid WP:UNDUE, the article should be expanded to include former MPs who had a property portfolio, and I expect that if it is to be at all comprehensive, it would soon become unwieldy. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:57, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm, yes, historically most MPs would have been country gentlemen, landowners and landlords of vast acreages and dozens of peasant hovels! If this list/article is to survive, it needs much clearer definition of its scope. PamD 12:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete are we going to include every MP for the past hundreds of years? Every peer, MSP, Assembly member? What happens if an MP buys a property, that we aren't aware of, and therefore aren't included even if they are a landlord. I don't think this article will work.
