Is there anything to say about it beyond "It's a phrase sometimes used to teach diphthongs"? If so, what? If not, maybe it should be merged to Elocution or something. Cnilep (talk) 01:03, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There's no proof it passes WORDISSUBJECT, as the two "keep" !voters have simply done a WP:SOURCESEXIST. Previous AfDs have not given proof either besides pointing to Google and saying "there must be sources out there!" Hint: there are none. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:18, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
KeepDelete I very recently used this article to assure a colleague I wasn't slurring him. I know that's not Wikipedia's express purpose. But it's not expressly not, either. I'd wager there are other situations where this pagelink might be useful. Plus, it's a "thing people say", so typing it should get them something here. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:20, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I meant the purpose of assuring colleagues we aren't slurring them. I get how encyclopedias aren't dictionaries. There's not much here, but it's already more than a straight definition. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:24, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's because you haven't pictured my colleague here as a black guy. And I'm not trying to say it passes GNG. Lots of subjects on this site don't; not as many survive two prior AfDs. Your "not notable" and my "it's useful" are both poor arguments. So we're even. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:48, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
People can also go to a phrasebook to look it up, the question is how an encyclopedia article expands on that. So far, nobody has come up with anything, and the only keep arguments are that the article seems useful and that sufficient amounts of votes will allow the "inclusionists" to win easily. See WP:NOTAVOTE. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I haven't seen any Deletionists ever explain why burning this iffy little obscurity (or any other like it) might help. Help who? Do what? So many questions. I'm willing to change my tune for one good answer. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If standards are not enforced on Wikipedia by removing failing articles, then it sets a precedent that almost anything is allowed - ultimately dragging down the quality of the encyclopedia. People who regularly create AfDs (I hesitate to say "deletionists", because it implies an urge to delete everything) are often stereotyped as enjoying tearing down other people's work and being OCD about annihilating the encyclopedia. On the contrary, they are attempting to increase the quality of the encyclopedia by helping editors not waste their time on unsalvageable, unhelpful articles, and dedicate it to ones with heavy potential for improvement. Notability failing articles are often rife with original research and inaccuracy due to the inability to find enough sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:26, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sold The amount of unsalvageable and unhelpful articles I've Randombuttoned into just since we've met has been pretty tragic, and enough is enough. I'm still glad this potential waste of someone else's time helped me when it did, though. That was then. InedibleHulk (talk) 06:21, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is exactly about how that is not an excuse to keep content. Coupled with the false dichotomy between GNG and WP:USEFUL, you seem to have a penchant for arguing against your own stated position.
I'm as much an inclusionist as the next person as long as I see more than passing coverage in reliable sources. In fact I nominated it precisely because I had questions about the phrase and I couldn't find answers in our article or reliable sources. We owe it to ourselves to keep out of the encyclopedia topics we have nothing to write about. I'll happily switch sides as soon as you show us reliable sources that don't just use, but discuss, the phrase to any meaningful extent. Nardog (talk) 13:13, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep, but rewriteDelete "How now brown cow" is adequately covered in enough sources to meet WP:SIGCOV, if only barely. It is discussed [1] here on JSTOR (albeit indirectly) and [2] here on Sage. The article as it is is very short and minimally sourced, and lacks sources that establish SIGCOV: one of the three is WP:USERG. Given the consensus with Irregardless, which I nominated for deletion, the coverage this has as a linguistic subject seems sufficient for an article. Like Irregardless, the article should be expanded to use the phrase as a case study for elocution, like how Irregardless is used as a case study for prescriptivist and descriptivist linguistics. Needs a complete rewrite, but seems to fulfil WP:SIGCOV and WP:WORDISSUBJECT - again, if only just. Reconsidering these sources and comments below, the coverage here is so meagre I don't think it passes WP:WORDISSUBJECT anymore. The sources for Irregardless at least directly mentioned the word, but these don't. I think it would still maybe be possible to similarly use "how now brown cow" to discuss the teaching of diphthongs, but its coverage in reliable secondary sources is probably not sufficient. The article is also so short there would be no point in merging to Elocution. Masskito (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:19, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How is it "discussed"? The phrase is nowhere to be found aside from the title in either of those sources. There's not even a mention, let alone discussion. How do you suggest the article be rewritten when those are the best sources you can find? Nardog (talk) 06:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
+1: These pieces use the phrase in their titles, but they don't discuss it. They discuss phonemic awareness, not this phrase as such. Cnilep (talk) 08:08, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I have looked through Oaktree b and Dclemens1971's sources above. Some are passing mentions which do not count toward the GNG, but several are high-quality academic sources that show the widespread use of this phrase for speech training in several countries. The "origins of the phrase" link from Oaktree and "Speak With Confidence" from Dclemens are decent. Still a borderline case, but I lean keep here. Toadspike[Talk]19:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is receiving attention due to its recent IPO. Anyways, after searching for in-depth coverage from independent, reliable secondary sources, I was unable to find any. The cited sources are trivial, as per WP:ORGTRIV, and the subject does not meet the criteria outlined in WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. GrabUp - Talk13:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have tried to find old news which are not for the IPO, that was before. It might be more coverage due to IPO but I guess we will get more and more updates in coming months as this a listed company now. Njoy deep (talk) 12:30, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This company has recently been in the news due to its IPO, with substantial media coverage spanning 30 pages of Google News. Notably, 95% of the news comes from reliable sources. Deleting this article isn't a valid option. While Draftify could be useful to some extent.

Delete Indeed a case of failing WP:NLIST. Also, notable entertainers and events are already discussed on the arena's main page, so having a list of each and every one is superfluous. TH1980 (talk) 00:14, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Don't see any sources discussing this set of events as a group (and that included a search for "Staples Center"), so ultimately this article violates WP:NOR and fails WP:NLIST.

The result was Procedural close. This article was tagged for an AFD discussion at the same time it was draftified so I'm closing this discussion. LizRead!Talk!03:03, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This does not appear to be a well-defined subgenre of horror films and, as a consequence, the article is rather vague. As the article explains, this new term was invented in 2024 by author and screenwriter Willow Summers who does not appear to be anywhere close to notable so it's not surprising that the neologism hasn't caught on. Pichpich (talk) 22:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that this was draftified by CycloneYoris (talk·contribs) at pretty much the same time as the AfD nomination. Obviously this is an inadvertent situation; would this merit a procedural close as moot? (The revision IDs for the draftification and the nomination are only two numbers apart, and the AfD was first, but they are close enough that the article/draft never got the AfD tag. I nonetheless don't feel comfortable enough doing a NAC myself here as I otherwise might have — I'm not sure which process should get canceled out here.)

As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Endorsements for the 2006 Liberal Party of Canada leadership election, this is also a poorly sourced list that essentially constitutes WP:TRIVIA rather than information of enduring significance. There isn't a similar article for any other leadership convention in the entire history of Canadian politics, so this is essentially standing alone, but there's no particular reason why being an ex officio delegate to this leadership convention would be a special case of greater significance than all the other leadership conventions that don't have sibling lists. A political party's incumbent and still-living former senators and MPs would simply be expected to be ex officio delegates to the leadership convention, so that being true here doesn't constitute news -- and apart from the senators and MPs, the overwhelming majority of other people listed here are unelected candidates and party apparatchiks who aren't independently notable at all, alongside a very large number of entries whose "occupant" is still listed as just the word "Name" itself, rather than the actual name of any specific individual person. The list, further, contains hundreds of directly-embedded-in-open-text offsite links (which is not proper formatting for a list) to primary sources (which are not support for notability), with very little WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing shown at all. This simply isn't of anywhere near enough uniquely enduring significance to warrant being retained in this form. If sibling lists for other Canadian political party leadership conventions don't consistently exist across the board, then this one is not more special than all of the others, especially not with bad sourcing and incomplete content but not even if either of those issues could be resolved. Bearcat (talk) 17:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I'm not sure why the 2006 Liberal leadership is so deserving of an article; to be honest the leader was rather ho-hum and doesn't have much lasting impact in Canadian politics 20 years on... This does seem like trivia. There are hardly any coverage of this event in my searches, other than brief articles about who was running at the time.

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this previously-unreferenced article about a Romanian actor, journalist, writer and university lecturer.

Delete : Per nominator's reason. Came across the page and had to make my own find out. The notable movies never claimed in any reliable source that Deadbeat Films was their movie studio production. Maybe reason why it was not even listed on the IMDB platform. So many unreliable source which also fails WP:GNG of the subject article.--Gabriel(……?)22:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm an intern working for the studio itself. As per my other comment, I apologize about the source misinformation. I'm doing my best to improve it, but I'm still incredibly new to this internship and even Wikipedia editing itself. I request more time for it to get fixed up. We're all very busy, so it will take some time, but it will be improved. If anything, some tips on how to improve it would be fantastic. Thanks! MNLewis21 (talk) 18:59, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm an intern working for the studio itself. It's just smaller than what we're used to and it's in England. I'm not entirely sure where you live, but I definitely think it's more Indie British than anything Well Known American. I've just been hired on, and I believe part of my job is to freshen up and work on the various Wikipedia pages for the studio, its films, and its employees. Another intern started what I'm working on right now. It's a bunch of busy people on board and just needs its due time to cook in the oven. Thanks! MNLewis21 (talk) 18:53, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Can you further explain more about your internal team and their works towards Wikipedia they intend to get started on. You mentioned some of your colleagues has started what you were currently working on. Can you as well list those draft. That will help. Also is the current article creator of the “Deadbeat Films” part of your internal team. Things needs to be clearer. Gabriel(……?)19:12, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I'm not entirely sure, unfortunately. I believe the one who initially wrote and researched the articles relating to the studio and its employees has left the company since they were also an intern, but I can't quite confirm that. I've been keeping in touch with my employer Brook Driver, a creative director and screenwriter for the studio, about the articles' status and the advice I'm receiving (thank you very much, by the way). They're still trying to kickstart getting their online presence more well known and complete. As for drafts within the studio itself I don't have access to that just yet. MNLewis21 (talk) 19:22, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one that created the initial Wikipedia article for Deadbeat Films. I was an intern under Brook Driver at the time and designed this page. The creation of the page was done for no compensation and was based upon research of my own in an attempt to avoid biases and to follow the terms and rules of Wikipedia. I do acknowledge though that this was the first page I had ever created, so any issues present are all my own. I am willing to assist in any way I can in fixing the page if possible. I do believe that the company does meet the standards of having a Wikipedia page, especially when looking at pages for other previously released independent films. This article from TheGuardian directly talks about their recent film Swede Caroline and namedrops Brook Driver specifically: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/apr/17/swede-caroline-review-marrow-mockumentary-is-gourd-for-a-laugh This article from Little Black Book specifically discusses the merging of Deadbeat Films with Toma Productions (Direct connection to The Devil's Harmony): https://lbbonline.com/news/deadbeat-films-appoints-anthony-toma-as-head-of-productionCFORMAN12 (talk) 15:50, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:OFFICEHOLDER. The article is short and needs updating but is about a holder of a notable office who held the post for two terms. This discussion has been had on previous occasions, but do note that the office of police commissioners in the UK is different to that of a police commissioner in the United States. This is Paul (talk) 22:12, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
PCCs (including this one) have received significant press coverage, albeit often on a local level. A police constituency can cover a population of several hundred thousand, or even into the millions. Indeed, the population of the Staffordshire area is around 1.146 million. Compare that to a Member of Parliament, whose constituency contains roughly 76,000 people, and a London Assembly member, whose constituency covers less than a million. Consequently it is a notable post, and the holder of it is likely to attract ongoing media attention, thus making them notable. As I have said previously, the consensus at the time these offices were created was that they were notable in the same way we create articles for every MP, MSP, Member of the Senedd and so on. I've also suggested that perhaps what is needed is a wider debate on how we deal with articles about people who hold these posts. This is Paul (talk) 22:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's something we should address though because these articles get nominated for AfD from time to time, and there's no clear guidelines for them. While they're not at the level of MPs they're also not at the level of local councillors. This is Paul (talk) 17:08, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
delete per WP:OFFICEHOLDER. A police commissioner at this level is unlikely to attract coverage beyond routine spokesbeing reporting, and there's no claim of that in the article. Possibly he could be redirected to the list of officeholders if must but personally I'm not inclined to take AtD as a requirement. Mangoe (talk) 22:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think some of the sources given in the article can count as SIGCOV, and as long as you have some sources that are SIGCOV, that many of the sources are just trivial mentions make no difference to the subject's notability. I can also see his works being mentioned in books and journals - [10][11][12], while those may not be considered in-depth discussions of his works (but not quite trivial either), they do show that he is known enough to be considered someone noteworthy.

Keep honestly, I don't see a big problem with the article. It seems to be a musical artist. It maintains reliable sources reasonably concise, unlike other articles that do not have it and is more verifiable. On the other hand, the content, at least in its current form, does not seem to me to be bad enough to remain on Wikipedia, perhaps that is precisely what gives it a more encyclopedic tone. --Alon9393 (talk) 16:15, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She's not on the Democratic National Committee, she has a position on the DC Democratic State Committee, which is about as insignificant a position in local politics as exists.

She's evidently done commendable work, such as the VA program, but I can't find significant coverage of her, or reviews of her books in reliable sources, to meet WP:NAUTHOR, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. She's also worked with some notable people, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. Wikishovel (talk) 18:14, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Filled to the brim with primary sources and not enough independent sources to sustain a biography; the single book review is not enough. Appearing on podcasts is not a criterion for notability. Geschichte (talk) 08:01, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Article fails WP:GNG, WP:BIO, and WP:NAUTHOR. The two podcast appearances are interviews with the article's subject and as such are not independent sources for the article's subject. The VA mentioning her for her work with the VA is similarly non-independent, and a couple of book reviews do not meet WP:NAUTHOR, as there is no indication that any of these books are "a significant or well-known work." - Aoidh (talk) 17:43, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You didn't take the time to read all the edits on the article clearly, you just found this article made a few deletion edits and decided to nominate it for deletion all in a rush to judgement. It only took you a day. This article was cut short by another biased editor thats why its short. All of the articles are independent sources check again.

Delete - He's been hanging around the edges of the NYC scene for many years, with some minor accomplishments like session work and appearing on a reality show, and his recent solo work got a little notice. But there is simply not enough for an encyclopedic article, which must be based on significant and reliable in-depth coverage and not just his own self-promotions and minor media appearances. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:48, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence this Lesotho football league meets WP:NORG or WP:NSPORT. There's no WP:SIGCOV in reliable, independent, secondary sources. (In contesting the PROD, the page creator said "I want to recall that this article is a stub and not an article with a high coverage so I don't think it should be deleted," which is not a particularly strong rationale for keeping an article about a non-notable subject.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:35, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is certainly coverage to be found at the official website of the Lesotho Football Association, the English language Metro magazine. That's not to mention any coverage that's offline or in Sesotho which cannot be accessed. Even if I wasn't certain coverage existed, I would WP:IAR keep; we have nearly all other national top-level women's leagues, might as well be comprehensive. Mach6116:48, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Mach61 is the league actually called “Women’s Super League”? If so then no wonder I couldn’t find coverage under the name on the article. We may need a page move instead of a deletion discussion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 00:37, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of the five sources cited, only one is actually about Kessler, and it's an interview. A Google News search yielded some obituaries about other people with the same name, and this article, but that's all. This could be merged into Arabella Advisors but there's really nothing of value to merge. A redirect could work too. ~Anachronist (talk) 19:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Like nom, I come by way of the request at the Teahouse from someone claiming to be Kessler (I know this doesn't affect the discussion; just saying for transparency). And like nom, I have done my own search and failed to find WP:SIGCOV in RS. Because I can't decide which would be the better redirect target—Arabella Advisors or the Hopewell Fund that it manages—I am !voting for straightforward deletion. Rotideypoc41352 (talk·contribs) 19:44, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete there's almost enough sourcing for article. Probably not right now and I weigh good faith requests for deletion in cases like this fairly highly. I would oppose a redirect since there are other Eric Kesslers mentioned in various articles as they're all dab mentions, a dab page would be questionable as well, for now. Skynxnex (talk) 20:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Kessler himself said on WP:TEAHOUSE that many of those sources aren't even about him. There are a lot of Eric Kesslers, some of them are dead, and some are evidently family members. I said basically the same thing in my deletion nomination. You can find a lot of sources, but which ones are actually significant coverage about this Eric Kessler? You have failed to identify any. And many of those in your list are merely trivial mentions. ~Anachronist (talk) 20:23, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
50 articles from WP:RS about source of family wealth, his activism in high school and college, his D.C. public life, his D.C. restaurants, his charity activities in Boulder, D.C., and Highland Park. ... 69.181.17.113 (talk) 02:17, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You listed trivial mentions as well as directory listings, you failed to verify they're the same person. So no, you didn't check them, you just provided a dump from a search. ~Anachronist (talk) 04:05, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and optionally merge to Arabella article, all sources talk about him exclusively as its founder. He probably merits a sentence or two in there somewhere, but not his own article unless far more significant coverage about this Eric Kessler is found. (I likewise came here from the Teahouse discussion). Rusalkii (talk) 19:54, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Arabella Advisors. A sentence or two about him in Arabella Advisors would probably help contextualize his part, but there's not much "here" here for an article about him.
DeleteDelete or Redirect: I went through and checked every source added to the talk page: a total of two of them were significant mentions that were clearly about him. A Capitol Research center article and Worth magazine interview. The first is questionable as a source given it invites Heritage Foundation people to talk on things. The second is good, but is already used in the article. There appears to be, after a lot of searching by the person who added those articles to the talk page, one source that covers Kessler reliably, so there isn't a basis for an article. Mrfoogles (talk) 08:25, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Plus, he asked Wikipedia to delete it. Any reasonable Keep vote here will have to name secondary and reliable sources clearly about him that give significant coverage. I also think coverage of environmentalism in high school in 1989 (several sources listed on the talk page), whether it is about him or not, can be excluded from consideration. Mrfoogles (talk) 08:28, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I wasn't trying to say I opposed a redirect -- redirecting or merging works just as well for me. I think the Tablet Magazine article and the Worth Magazine article make 1.5-2 good sources, total. I don't understand what you mean by adding a few sentences to the redirect, though -- do you mean in the target article? Mrfoogles (talk) 22:00, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable article about a location composed of unreliable or primary sources. For WP:Before, a search showed only trivial mentions and in-universe plot summaries, without significant coverage or reception. Jontesta (talk) 18:46, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Mesklin gets a fair amount of discussion in literature about science fiction (mostly in the context of Mission of Gravity). It is generally considered a (or even the) prototypical example of hard science fictionworldbuilding. Some examples:
There are also things like "Applying Science to Fiction: A Look at the Fictional Planet Mesklin" (which I am unfortunately not able to read the full text of), and much, much more is available by simply searching for "Mesklin" at the Internet Archive (I haven't read it in full, but the first hit leads to Donald M. Hassler's chapter "The Irony in Hal Clement's World Building" in Science Fiction Dialogues, which covers Mesklin for several pages). I don't think WP:Notability is seriously in question here, and there's certainly an argument to be made that the fictional planet gets more attention as the point of focus in the secondary literature than the story it first appeared in. TompaDompa (talk) 13:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update I have located a fair number of sources providing coverage of Mesklin and have begun the process of rewriting and expanding the article based on these sources. Based on what I have found, I think merging this article with the Mission of Gravity article would be misguided. At minimum, I would suggest relisting this discussion to give more time for rewriting and expanding the article so we can make as informed a decision on the matter as possible. TompaDompa (talk) 21:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
CommentMesklin is also the name of the book series comprised of Mission of Gravity, Star Light and Close to Critical, so it could hypothetically be reframed to stay. However, the latter two books show the weight and detail that should be given to the planetory setting, meaning the current article is excessive and relies to much on WP:PRIMARY sources to really stand on its own. I've also read the summary of MoG: It's the science that drives the story, not the characters. The world is the plot.. In that way, I am leaning towards merge the sole planet article but keep as a book series article. – sgeurekat•c13:49, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convinced a series article is super needed vs. just a section in Mission of Gravity detailing the book's sequels. Ultimately Mission of Gravity just needs some major expansion to detail its apparent importance, as right now it's start-class. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:16, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update 2 I have located sources and then sourced, expanded, and rewritten the article almost from scratch based on those sources. There is still some polishing to do (I haven't really started on the WP:LEAD, for instance), but based on what I have managed to do with the article thus far I stand by my previous assessment that merging it with Mission of Gravity would be misguided (not all of the information relates to that book, for one thing). I invite @Jontesta, Clarityfiend, Shooterwalker, Zxcvbnm, Sir MemeGod, and Sgeureka: to give it another look. TompaDompa (talk) 02:45, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:HEY. I have struck out my previous !vote, as TompaDompa has put their money where their mouth is and successfully improved the article drastically. It's now one of the top articles on a fictional planet. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:29, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This biography of a businessman and former youth cricketer fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. There is no WP:SIGCOV of Pandit, only WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of his participation on a team, and no WP:SIGCOV of his business career either. At best it's WP:BLP1E for the U-15 Cricket World Cup (but that's not even a valid redirect since there's no page on that competition), but even then he doesn't qualify for a standalone page. Contested PROD. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:48, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per nom. All sources are very poor with stat, an entry, passing mention about sitting out of the game, another passing mention that just says, Agam Pandit and ADC Energy Prepare for COP28, and last one about being appointed as selector and the end note of this source says "The above press release has been provided by VMPL. ANI will not be responsible in any way for the content of the same." There is no significant coverage of his role as businessman. No significant achievements noteworthy nationally and internationally to satisfy notability about the subject role as cricketer. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NBIO, WP:NSPORT.

Comment. I haven't yet completed a full WP:BEFORE (to establish whether there are other/independent/reliable sources "out there" which can establish notability and support the text). But, per nom, the sources within the article are far from ideal. Being either trivial passing mentions (where the industry news coverage is substantially about something else and the subject org is barely mentioned in passing). Or sources which are far from independent (company press releases, promotional webpages from partner companies, interviews with the company CEO, etc). To establish notability of this (250 person? 11 million turnover?) company... Guliolopez (talk) 13:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have now undertaken a more complete WP:BEFORE. And have identified and added more than a few examples of independent, reliable and verifiable news sources. Including the Irish Times, Irish Independent and New York Times. The latter two dealing with the 2006 appointment of Tom Ridge and sales wins (around the same time) in US airport security use cases. While, at time of nom, the article was almost entirely based on primary sources, press releases and ROTM business news coverage, that is no longer the case.

Reviewed during New Page Patrol. No evidence of wp:notability under SNG or GNG. Coverage and content is just very limited CV/Resume type material. Regarding potential SNG, his largest thing was being Chairman of the Okura Gumi corporation. North8000 (talk) 18:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't find coverage in Jstage (an index of Japanese journals) for a railway engineer. There is some coverage about a lighting/electrical engineer [17], none seem to be about this person. Coverage in the article is only one source, which isn't enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 23:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The company that he led for 20 years, now Taisei Corporation, constructed Tokyo's first subway line and Frank Lloyd Wright's New Imperial Hotel in the middle of his tenure, which is why his name mostly comes up in searches on railway history and international tourism. There are this and this and several other biographies in books related to Keio online, quite a bit of discussion of his relationship with subway/railway development in Tokyo in this book and this book, notes on the relationship between Japanese and American baseball (and the national railway baseball team) in this book, and somewhat passing mention of his arguments on the relationship between steel and the army here. I don't really feel the article itself is in such bad condition. Dekimasuよ!00:42, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dekimasu’s sources - there seems to be a lot of stuff out there about him which prove notability, as you’d expect from the leader of a major corporation during a historically important period of development. Given that the standard for notability is that sources exist in the world, NOT that they are currently included in the article as written, this seems to be an obvious keep, with room for future editors to work to improve the article later using those available sources.

Keep. A total loss of an aircraft is a significant event and I don't think accident articles need to be deleted just because there were no fatalities. Many aircraft accidents have a "fairly short news cycle" and once a final investigation report has been issued, they usually disappear altogether. Articles about aircraft accidents are useful as they elucidate what the causes were. This one could easily have ended with hundreds dead. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment while i do support some of your causes, just because it could've left hundreds dead doesnt mean it should justify as an article. At the least this should be merged, near tragedy doesnt warrant nor neccesitate an article, the accident is just a simple hull loss wrapped into a near tragedy. Thanks for your time. Lolzer3000 (talk) 15:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I fully understand the pertinence of not imagining what coulda, woulda, shoulda happened. But the improvement of aviation safety relies on the investigation and analysis of all accidents and incidents. I realise Wikipedia is not an aircraft safety site, but I wanted to explain my perspective here. I'm not sure how this article could be successfully merged without losing a lot of relevant info. Let's see what other editors say. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:22, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Per WP:EVENTCRIT: Per criterion #4 of the event criteria, "routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance." There isn't much that would give this event enduring significance. There is no continued nor in-depth coverage since news coverage either happened in the aftermath of the accident or after the release of the final report, with most news coverage in persian rehashing what the Civil Aviation Authority of Iran wrote in its final report. None of the sources are secondary, in nature, since none of them contain "analysis, evaluation or interpretation", with the sources being primary. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was See below. No one arguing for retention, but it's not clear if you want the history preserved for an upmerge or redirect. I have not deleted in the event you do. But this consensus should be read as a soft delete of a flavor. StarMississippi22:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Originally a redirect to BMT Broadway Line, this page got turned into an incomplete disambiguation page (WP:INCDAB) listing two more New Yorker yellow lines that neither mention "yellow" in the article body nor are listed on the Yellow Line dab page (i.e. unlikely search target?). Since INCDAB pages aren't ideal, I see the following solutions for this particular page:
Delete, as none of the entries on the page are actually "yellow lines"; the only commonality between them is that their emblem is colored yellow.

Keep, has sources and the nomination does not indicate that any effort was put behind it. I.e. effort might have been put behind it, but it isn't shown. Geschichte (talk) 16:19, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A search in Arabic on Arabic news sites only returned routine, trivial event announcements (e.g. 0–3-sentence lightly-refactored boilerplate text announcing results 123456). Nothing approaching the in-depth secondary independent commentary required to be cited in all sportsperson articles. There is explicitly no carve-out for athletes that allows us to assume IRS SIGCOV exists when no such sources have been identified. The whole point of SPORTCRIT #5 is to ensure that athlete bios are not based on achievements or participation, as those criteria were deprecated by global consensus. JoelleJay (talk) 03:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thanks for doing the research and finding those sources. I think that if we combine the paragraphs to establish notability (which is allowed per WP:NBASIC), we have a good case to be made here. The consensus you're referring to established by WP:NSPORTS2022 actually supports keeping this article, because it says to keep sports notability criteria as long as it's not participation based (i.e. simply attending a meet). But in Owis' case, she has won multiple major international medals which goes beyond simply participating. I think you are conflating achievements with participation. --Habst (talk) 17:52, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NSPORTS2022 established global consensus that, regardless of achievements and regardless of meeting a sport-specific guideline, all athletes must cite a source with IRS SIGCOV. Trivial and routine coverage does not establish notability, and that is the extent of what can be found on this athlete. JoelleJay (talk) 18:27, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thanks, the NSPORTS2022 closure actually does not say anything about IRS, and it in fact says, There is a general consensus that the NSPORTS guideline still has broad community support. At the time that statement was made, this is what NSPORTS looked like: Special:Diff/1076787937.
Regardless, if we combine the found articles from multiple independent organizations (not just the Koora sources) we can certainly say the coverage is significant in this case fulfilling WP:SPORTCRIT prong #5. Coverage about a hometown athlete qualifying for the Olympics is not routine -- there are strict qualifying standards and there is no guarantee or schedule of such an event occurring. --Habst (talk) 13:05, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That sentence is in the context of deprecating NSPORT entirely, it is obviously not stating that NSPORT as it was is supported in toto. SPORTCRIT #5 requires a source providing significant coverage, it does not say "a combination of sources adding up to SIGCOV". And I've literally never seen anyone attempt the argument that this clause doesn't require the SIGCOV to be IRS. Coverage of people in non-routine events can absolutely still be routine. NOTNEWS does not limit this in any way. What has been found so far is not even personalized "hometown coverage", it's churnalized results announcements with no more than three boilerplate sentences apiece originating from the same news source. That is not GNG and is not even an indication of GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 20:35, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, yes the sentence argues for the opposite of deprecating NSPORT -- it says to keep it in place, which it currently is. SPORTCRIT prong 5 could certainly be filled by combining sources as NBASIC allows for, however it's important to note that has no bearing on whether or not WP:NATH is fulfilled (which it clearly is in this case via criterion 2, multiple gold medals at major competitions).
This is all just in the first 2 pages of results. I really don't think there's a question that the notability guideline is met, it's just that the sources are mostly in Arabic so we'll need to translate them for inclusion in the article. Honestly, I have yet to find a recent Olympian in athletics who doesn't meet the bar with some digging; the Olympics still have significant cultural purchase and athletics is the marquee sport so typically if someone qualifies, the coverage is there. --Habst (talk) 20:21, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SPORTCRIT prong 5 could certainly be filled by combining sources as NBASIC allows for This is absolutely not true. There is no logical reading of at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage that supports your claim that multiple non-SIGCOV sources can constitute "a source providing SIGCOV". The community !voted to override NBASIC in the case of sportspeople in an RfC that was much more recent and global; that takes precedence.You are refbombing more routine trivial announcementsd. No number of functionally identical three-sentence results updates can amount to SIGCOV. 1: Israa Awis ended her competitions in the high jump qualifiers without qualifying for the final stage. Israa Owais is participating in the Olympics for the first time in her career. Israa Awis achieved a record of 6.20 metres after three successful attempts. This is on a site with no evidence of editorial control, attributed to someone with only two articles total, and identical to pieces on other sites that each also claim a byline. 2: This is a trash webscraper/UGS. 3: Israa Owais, the national team player and strongman, bid farewell to the long jump competitions, within the Olympic Games competitions hosted by Paris. Israa managed to jump to a height of 6.20 meters, coming in fifteenth place in the first group. Essentially the same announcement as 1. 4: This is the same 3-sentence article I linked earlier. 5: This is literally just a picture of her on a government website (not independent, not SIGCOV).In-person interviews are primary and non-independent. Per policy: The University of Nevada, Reno Libraries define primary sources as providing "an inside view of a particular event". They offer as examples: original documents, such as autobiographies, diaries, e-mail, interviews,Al Ahly TV is her own sports organization, so that interview obviously fails as primary and non-independent in multiple ways.If this is the extent of the coverage you're finding on her, then we are severely lacking in anything approaching SPORTCRIT. JoelleJay (talk) 22:19, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Re: paragraph 1, The community !voted to override NBASIC in the case of sportspeople -- Can you please link to the not-vote where this happened? From my read this isn't what happened in NSPORTS2022. Reading WP:NSPORTS2022, NBASIC is only mentioned once and it's not in the context of overriding it. They are separate policies and broad over-arching guidelines like WP:GNG and WP:NBASIC still apply even where more subject-specific guidelines exist.
Re: WP:REFBOMBing -- As an English speaker, I simply can't read all of the sources I am finding in Arabic, so I pasted the plausible ones here so that someone who does speak Arabic can look them over. Also, WP:REFBOMB only refers to putting unnecessary citations in an article. There's nothing wrong with linking many sources in an AfD discussion. In fact, I think they should all be addressed -- I see you left comments on five of the sources, but there are still 13 on just the first two pages of results that need to be looked at.
Re: In-person interviews are primary and non-independent -- This simply isn't supported by Wikipedia policy. I recently had a discussion about an unrelated article with an admin just this week about this, and this is what they said this week at Special:Diff/1245933378:
I think what will help with precedent is getting the interview issue settled. It has come up more and more often and I think it's unsettled. My personal (editor, not admin) POV is that if X media outlet chooses to interview someone, there's something there.
The quote that you're citing and have cited in past discussions is not directly from any Wikipedia policy, but is from a sub-bullet of a footnote of a section of WP:PRIMARY. The word "interview" is in fact never mentioned in the Wikipedia-voice text on that page other than to say that interviews depend on context. So, taking context into consideration, what can we say about the 26-minute ONTime Sports news segment (plus various clips) and the 30-minute Al Ahly TV news segment, both of which seem to be solely about Owis?
Quoting the admin comment on this issue, Is Ojala (or anyone in comparable position) being interviewed as a matter of post match interviews, or is it more substantive? We would expect post-match interviews to be only five or six minutes and only focusing on the game -- instead, these interviews are much longer and were conducted in what seems to be an in-studio news segment setting. I want to emphasize clearly that we need the assistance of an Arabic speaker to say much more, but it seems like a lot exists here for Arabic speakers.
I think the pieces for meeting SPORTCRIT and GNG have been presented. Can you explain why all 15 sources are "severely lacking"? --Habst (talk) 12:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You found one closer who holds the idiosyncratic opinion that interviews can somehow count towards GNG based on "the fact that they chose to interview them" rather than anything about the interview content being IRS SIGCOV. But you can't just claim that their close reflects any sort of consensus or even suggests broader disagreement while simultaneously ignoring the far more prevalent examples of closes supporting the view that only the secondary, independent material in an interview may count toward GNG. How could content that someone says about themselves ever be secondary and independent, anyway? And I know you're aware of these examples since I've linked them to you in the past, so why are you only now accepting admin AfD judgments as evidence of consensus? 1: The result was delete. Interviews are primary sources so the delete argument is the policy based one.2: admin nom statement This article on a tattoo artist is sourced mainly from interviews. Being primary sources, they don't help us establish his notability.3: admin nom: There are interviews, and a number of performance listings but nothing independent, or significant enough.4: The result was delete. I am more persuaded by the delete arguments around the necessity of independent sourcing for a BLP then keep arguments that articles that are basically interviews are independent.5: The "keeps" are largely based on the slew of references provided early on in the discussion; however, nobody arguing to keep has presented evidence here as to how these sources constitute WP:SIGCOV. The argument that interviews are admissible is an oversimplification; interviews may count toward GNG when they have intellectually independent content; that has not been demonstrated here.6: admin nom: referenced entirely to WP:PRIMARYSOURCES and Q&A interviews that cannot support notability with no evidence of reliable source coverage shown at all.The WP:OR treatment of interviews is still policy. Just because specific examples of primary sources are listed in the footnotes does not mean they "aren't policy".It is absolutely acceptable to characterize someone's behavior at AfD as "refbombing". It is breathtakingly entitled for you to dump a bunch of sources that you haven't even read and insist that other editors must prove each of them to be insufficient. JoelleJay (talk) 21:32, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually having an unrelated discussion with the administrator when they opined on interviews unprompted -- I wasn't looking to find a point of view one way or the other and I'm trying to enter discussions with an open mind. It seems intuitive to me that if a reputable news organization conducts a long-form interview, that speaks to the notability of the subject, and I haven't been able to find any Wikipedia policy contradicting that practice here.
I am still curious about the justification for discounting interviews. The only mention you cited earlier, in WP:PRIMARY, doesn't mention interviews in the policy text, and the only mention in a footnote says, other opinion pieces, including (depending on context) reviews and interviews as examples of what could be a primary source. Surely a lengthy news segment interview on a subject would fall under "depending on context" and could be used to establish notability? Also, the way the footnote is written, it makes it seem like only opinion-piece interviews are discussed and not news interviews.
Looking at the links, 1) doesn't contain any news interviews, 2) only comments that the particular interviews used were primary and does not make a sweeping claim about all interviews, 3) doesn't seem to contain any news interviews but instead promotional interviews for his books (?), 4) makes no comment about interviews in general, 5) actually says interviews may count toward GNG when they have intellectually independent content which I think should be met in this case, and 6) only speaks to specific "Q&A interviews" but not news interviews nor interviews in general.
Re: Refbombing, I don't think it's productive to say that other editors are providing too many citations in AfD discussions where the point of the discussion is to evaluate sources. I plan on making a best effort at translation, but the reason why I linked and will continue to link sources in AfDs without being excessive is to see what the community thinks about them even if neither of us can read Arabic natively. I greatly respect your encyclopedic contributions and hope you can extend the same respect to me and can refrain from making personal comments.
Acknowledging that "interviews may count towards GNG" if conditions are met, can we discuss the substance of the news interviews found so far, or if not them, then the other undiscussed sources linked? --Habst (talk) 14:17, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The "wikipedia [guideline] contradicting this practice" is the one that requires the coverage to be substantial, independent, and secondary. An org's choice to interview someone is not any of that. Seriously, what can you possibly consider independent and secondary in any of those interviews? The subject speaking about herself is, by definition, non-independent and primary, thus it is absolutely ineligible for GNG consideration. You think bombarding editors with a bunch of links you haven't even read and demanding they prove that each one of them fails GNG is acceptable behavior?? JoelleJay (talk) 01:19, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, yes, I do think that interviews can be substantial and secondary depending on how they are conducted, particularly if they are conducted as part of news segments as appears to be the case here.
Because neither of us knows Arabic, I'm not sure we can say for sure that about the content of the interviews. Maybe we should discuss the interview issues not pertaining to this specific case in a separate venue to not clutter this discussion? Either way, I think we should temper the language and behavioral accusations and focus on the article. With respect, --Habst (talk) 17:46, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I just don't think Wikipedia policy ever says this as a blanket statement, for example the comments by the interviewer about the subject would certainly not be primary. Most interviews then would not fall under that bucket. --Habst (talk) 14:32, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just for everyone else's clarity, right after your quoted sentences Cbl62 noted that he has only seen one instance in two years where NBASIC was sufficient in the absence of a SPORTCRIT #5 source. That is hardly an endorsement of using scattered three-sentence announcements for NBASIC. JoelleJay (talk) 23:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not necessarily saying that this article passes NBASIC. I'm saying that the statement of the community !vot[ing] to override NBASIC in the case of sportspeople is incorrect. BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Let'srun, the first link has three brief sentences announcing her event results. That is routine news coverage on its own, but it's also clearly lacking in any secondary analysis as the specifics are just substituted into the boilerplate announcements put out by Kooora and Kas News for every athlete at every competition. You can look at the links I provided to see the identical formatting, and also compare to the contemporaneous announcements put out for others in her cohort. They are pure fluff.Kooora: Israa Owais, the Egyptian track and field player, won the gold medal in the long jump competition at the Arab Games held in Algeria. Israa Owais succeeded in winning the gold medal after achieving a distance of 6.54 meters in the competitions held on Tuesday evening in the Algerian city of Oran.Kooora: Mostafa Amr, a player in the Egyptian track and field team, won the gold medal in the shot put competition at the Arab Games held in Algeria from July 5 to 15. Amr succeeded in winning the gold medal at the Arab Games after achieving a distance of 20.52 meters in the competitions held today in the city of Oran, Algeria. Run-of-the-mill sports announcements are not enough to demonstrate notability, and athletes are required to have a source of IRS SIGCOV cited in the article. A 3-sentence blurb that contains nothing beyond the results of an event is certainly not enough to meet SPORTSCRIT. The second piece is by the same news agency as the first (the Kooora piece is functionally identical to a Kas News piece) and so these definitely don't even constitute "multiple" sources of coverage.Kas News: Israa Owais, a player in the Egyptian track and field team, won the gold medal in the long jump competition at the Arab Games currently being held in Algeria. Israa Awis succeeded in winning the gold medal in the Arab Games after achieving a distance of 6.54 meters in the competitions held today in the city of Oran, Algeria.Per policy: For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coveragePer WP:N: It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works. Several journals simultaneously publishing different articles does not always constitute multiple works, especially when the authors are relying on the same sources, and merely restating the same information. Similarly, a series of publications by the same author or in the same periodical is normally counted as one source.JoelleJay (talk) 19:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as easily meets WP:BASIC and WP:NATH and WP:HEY. Winner of multiple medals at major international competitions, including 2 gold medals (both long jump and triple jump) at the 2023 Arab Games; silver medal at the 2022 Mediterranean Games; bronze medal at the 2022 African Championships in Athletics. Many pieces of secondary coverage focused on Esraa Owis and her accomplishments identified by Habst above, a few of which have been added to the article, which has been expanded. For English speakers, have also added the 2022 article in The National, which discusses how she overcame an ankle injury that nearly ruined her career to become the first woman representing Egypt to win a silver medal in the long jump in the Mediterranean Games. Cielquiparle (talk) 03:19, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it would be a bit ridiculous if an athlete winning gold medals at a major event wasn't notable. For me, the interview thing has always been a slightly silly argument. If a major news publication has interviewed a subject, that indicates they think the subject is notable and worth interviewing. Unless there is evidence that it is just PR and fill, there has been an editorial decision to interview this person rather than all the other possible people they could feature.

I would like to address the concerns regarding the notability and reliability of the references in this article.
Notability and Achievements:
Shekar Natarajan is a recognized expert in the field of supply chain management. His contributions to the industry have been significant, as evidenced by his receipt of the Medallion Award from the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) in 2010, which is awarded for notable contributions to the field. It was awarded to only 10 people over the last decade. This award recognizes individuals that have made a notable impact on the industrial engineering profession. The full list of awardees, including Mr. Natarajan, can be viewed here - https://www.iise.org/awards.aspx?id=10802.
Reliable Sources:
In addition to the IISE recognition, Mr. Natarajan has been acknowledged by various reputable industry sources. For example, Material Handling and Logistics News has recognized him as an expert in supply chain logistics. More details about his work and expertise can be found in their coverage here - https://www.mhlnews.com/shekar-natarajan-expert.
Given these points, I believe Mr. Natarajan's notability is well-established within his field, supported by reliable third-party sources.
Shekar Natarajan has received several prestigious awards and recognitions throughout his career, acknowledging his significant contributions to the supply chain and logistics industry.* Medallion Award (2010): Awarded by the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE), recognizing his contributions to the field of industrial engineering and systems.
DC Velocity Rainmaker (Year): Named as one of the "Rainmakers" by DC Velocity magazine, which highlights professionals who have made substantial impacts in the logistics and supply chain field. Source.
Consumer Goods Visionary (2010): Recognized as a visionary by Consumer Goods magazine for his forward-thinking strategies in the consumer goods industry. Source.Given the multiple awards and recognitions that Shekar Natarajan has received, it is clear that he has made a noteworthy impact in his industry. Deleting this article would mean removing valuable information about a recognized leader in supply chain management, whose work continues to influence the field. This article serves as a credible and informative resource for those interested in learning about influential figures in the industry.
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: This discussion needs to see more participation. Looking at the comments thus far, it seems like this subject might have won some prestigious industry awards. Notable awards go beyond the Oscars and Nobels, by the way. A source review would also be helpful here as this is a heavily referenced article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!07:21, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Parts of the article look promotional but can be cleaned up, but that does not mean that the subject is not notable. Clearly meets WP:BIO, with copious citations all over the web (WP:SIGCOV). Also search for Chandrashekar Natarajan. Plenty of Google Scholar contributions.
Some awards and sentences about him being a "thought leader" can be trimmed since I believe they're too promotional, but the sources clearly demonstrate that this is a notable Fortune 500 company executive. Natarajan is covered by the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, New York Times, Harvard Business Review, and many other top-tier sources that can also be included.
No. On the Google Scholar citation list , only one paper is above 100 cites which means that record of achievement is invalid. Too low a h-index/citation count to count towards WP:NACADEMIC. Being contracted or having worked at place isn't inherently notable. Only coverage denotes notability and its not here. We will look at the references today. scope_creepTalk08:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I could not find any WP:SIGCOV piece on this person in a quality independent national RS, a zero in an international one. His awards are not notable and "working for" major US corporations in a local country is also not notable. Article is very WP:PROMO and written like his resume. Getting into WP:G11 territory but regardless, no evidence of notability on any basis. Aszx5000 (talk) 18:49, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is the best article, but it's penned by this person [21], unfortunately. There just isn't enough about this fellow to show notability here. Brief mentions in the few sources used in the article that are RS aren't enough. Oaktree b (talk) 22:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have just removed promotional resume-like content and puffery. This article has been up since 2010, but it appears that different people have been inserting promotional content over time. But that does not mean this person is not notable. If cleaned up, it will meet Wikipedia criteria and can be kept. Nyangaman4 (talk) 15:26, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I could not find a single piece of WP:SIGCOV on this person in any quality Indian RS. This was probably a WP:UPE case that should never have been a BLP, but somehow it survived. 15:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC) Aszx5000 (talk) 15:35, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: I'm normally opposed to having a third relisting, but we may need time to consider changes that removed some self-promo content. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, DoczillaOhhhhhh, no!18:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I did consider those changes, and while there is still a lot of non-notable awards and positions listed, the main issue remains, which is that there are no WP:SIGCOV pieces - never mind WP:3REFS - on this person in any quality independent WP:RS. They are just not a notable person. Aszx5000 (talk) 19:10, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a music production collective, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The main notability claim being attempted here is that they and artists they have worked with exist, which is not automatically notable enough to guarantee a Wikipedia article in and of itself -- but the article is referenced almost entirely to directly affiliated primary sources and glancing namechecks of ALAIZ in coverage of the individual artists, with little to no evidence of any WP:GNG-worthy coverage about ALAIZ in its own right. The article was, further, heavily weighed down with entirely inappropriate offsite links to the self-published webpages of individual artists named in the body text, as well as quoteboxes highlighting cherry-picked promotional quotes for PR purposes, all of which I've already had to remove as WP:ELNO violations. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing, and better sourcing for it than has been provided. Bearcat (talk) 17:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Update: Article has been expanded (by, unsurprisingly, the same editor who's attempting to bludgeon this discussion below), but they're still not getting it: the writing tone is now much more heavily advertorialized than the initial "this is a thing that exists, the end" that I described at the time of nomination, and the sourcing is still depending entirely on a mix of primary sources that aren't support for notability at all and glancing namechecks of ALAIZ's existence in sources that are not about ALAIZ — both of which mean that they've made the article worse, not better.

A regular contributor to Music Is My Sanctuary, he has played alongside DâM-FunK, Onra, Peanut Butter Wolf, Kaytranada, Pomo, and participated in festivals such as Piknic Électronik, M pour Montréal, Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, C2 Montréal and POP Montréal, in addition to performing at the Boiler Room. Walla P has taken his records to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Paris, Brussels, Lyon, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne and Frankfurt.

Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.
This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g., musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

Notability is not a question of the things the article says, it's a question of the quality of the sources that the article uses to support the things it says. Primary sourcing self-published by people directly affiliated with the claims doesn't cut it, blogs don't cut it, and sources that briefly mention ALAIZ without being about ALAIZ don't cut it. We need to see coverage about ALAIZ (not about artists who've worked with ALAIZ, but about ALAIZ qua ALAIZ) in reliable sources, which means real, established media, not just any webpage you can find with the word "ALAIZ" in it.

Delete: Per Ira and nom. Primary sources and no GNG worth coverage. Kudos to Ghosted for that ~40k bytes of comment, but the passing mentions are barely in SIGCOV territory.The Herald (Benison) (talk) 18:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a self-promoting vanity page for a marginal figure, who is obviously continually editing it. There is a very long history of edit wars on the article, including their attempts to prevent coverage of their legal issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrashPandaMan (talk • contribs)
This nomination for deletion is part of ongoing vandalism of this page, which resulted it being locked down for a year. The nomination comes from one particular editor whose history shows he has targeted this particular page to delete large swaths of sourced content. His edit history also shows that he has targeted this page multiple times, contributing nothing but deleting large sections due to personal opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belladonna2024 (talk • contribs)
The account that keeps sabotaging this page (TrashPandaMan) and deleting huge segments without adding anything to it, is now aggressively vandalizing the page and repeatedly nominating it for deletion. His history of edits shows he has targeted two specific pages, this one and another page, and repeatedly vandalizing and nominating them for deletion, citing only his personal opinion that it should be deleted. Belladonna2024 (talk) 17:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no sabotage. This is a highly problematic article with irrelevant information of questionable notability. The edit history shows a clear record of other users attempting to clean up the writing and eliminate unnecessary and self-promoting information, followed by constant attempts to revert the explained edits. Th subject of this article is clearly watching it very closely, and has been for some time, as can be seen in the controversy over the inclusion of their failed lawsuit. Individuals should not be curating their own Wikipedia pages. TrashPandaMan (talk) 19:36, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the edit history, it appears clear that TrashPandaMan's account was created with the specific purpose of deleting sourced content of two specific pages, and nominating them for deletion. This user has repeatedly deleted large amounts of information without providing any sources to substantiate his opinion that this is a vanity page. It also appears evident, by the hostility of his comments, combined with deletion of large segments and frequent vandalism of the page, that user TrashPandaMan might be associated with the other parties involved in Hategan's lawsuit.
I am not responsible for creating this page, but I do not believe it is a "vanity" page considering that Hategan has made significant contributions to Canada's anti-racist history and has been directly credited to contributing to the shutting down of the Heritage Front. However, I agree that in light of recurring sabotage and vandalism by people seemingly intent on removing sourced content, that perhaps it would be for the best if the page was deleted altogether. Belladonna2024 (talk) 21:21, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the above reasons. The arguments for deletion seem to be that she isn't notable, which she clearly is (admittedly not for everything that's currently in the article) and that the article is a "vanity page" (per WP:AFDFORMAT "Accusations of vanity and other motives should be avoided and is not in itself a reason for deletion"). 199.212.64.213 (talk) 05:06, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. It looks like this discussion has moved past the boundaries of AfD, so I'm closing this as no consensus and referring further discussion to the article's talk page for now. No prejudice against relisting, in the event that that discussion finds that no article at this title ought to exist after all. asilvering (talk) 23:07, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly doubt "Indian political parties named Socialist Party" is a notable list topic per WP:NLIST. I propose turning this article into a disambiguation page. Sourced claims that are present here should be moved to applicable articles. Janhrach (talk) 16:46, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - but assign to the original Socialist Party. The first SP (the 1951 one) was a major national party, was the largest opposition party in national parliament at some point. The article should be delimited to that party. --Soman (talk) 21:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See [26]. The wording "only 12 seats" is a bit odd, as 12 seats in national election is hardly a minor feat. The party was the third largest in the first election, winning 12 seats, with 11,216,719 votes (10.59%). Clearly the original SP is the primary topic here. --Soman (talk) 16:22, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. Indeed, now I see that coming third in the election is a major event, and so I support the notion of SP being the primary topic here. Janhrach (talk) 17:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but change. I can see several ways what to do with this: (1) Redirecting this to List of socialist parties#India is better than turning this into a dab page (because of WP:INCDAB) or set index page (the parties are not truly named the same thing), and takes care of OR and N. (2) Rename it to something like Socialist parties in India or Socialist politics in India and refocus, similar to how the two interwikis (de, bn) have done. The point appears to be that Indian socialists have (under different names) been trying to gain hold in the political arena for decades and failed. That might be an overarching notable topic. – sgeurekat•c08:37, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Socialism in India already exists. Thanks for the other suggestions, particluraly for mentioning INCDAB, which I did not know about. As for the suggestion to remodel the article like the dewiki one, I think making the result part of the aforementioned Socialism in India is preferable to keeping it a separate article, mainly in the light of that article not mentioning the events described in Socialist party (India). Janhrach (talk) 12:39, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The lead of the German article is weird; the rest of the article is similar in scope to the one we are discussing. (The framing is, however, different: the enwiki article looks like a list, but the German one is more focused on chronological description of the events related to the parties.) Janhrach (talk) 17:31, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To further complicate things: the 1948-1952 Socialist Party is essentially the same party as the Congress Socialist Party. I'll try to work on a draft to improve an article on 1948-1952 SP provisionally, but eventually there should be a merge between CSP and SP articles. --Soman (talk) 14:09, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG or WP:NPOL, candidacy doesn't count towards NPOL, by the way, they have to be elected to the office. For GNG, the sources used are routine coverages of the racism incident, etc. No WP:SIGCOV can be identified. One of the BBC source even does not have a byline, while you might thing it's almighty BBC, but sorry, we can not rely on a news piece that lacks a byline, whether from an international news org or a local one. A WP:BEFORE was done and the nature of the sources found there does not help, they either routine coverages or run of the mill. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:33, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to 2024 West Midlands mayoral election as page fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. This page was originally a redirect, and should return to being a redirect. The name is a notable redirect to the events discussed in the mayoral election article, but not as a standalone page. If he'd been elected to office then it would be a different story.

Highly advertorialized WP:BLP of an academic, not properly sourced as passing WP:NPROF. As always, academics are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show proper sourcing establishing that they surpass certain specific notability criteria -- but this is referenced entirely to primary sourcing that is not support for notability at all, such as his own self-published website and his own staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer and his own writing metasourcing its own existence, rather than any third-party validation of his significance in sources independent of himself. There are further WP:COPYRIGHT issues here, as every book in his "selected works" isn't just "title + ISBN", but contains an extended advertorial spiel copied and pasted verbatim from its promotional page on the website of its own publisher. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be written and sourced properly. Bearcat (talk) 14:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There could possibly be an article on the library, with a paragraph on who it was named after, but Ms. Raney simply does not have enough accomplishments or reliable historical coverage to justify her own article. Meanwhile, the merge suggestion above is valid but I think it would be awkward because none of the other libraries in the county have any precise background info at the target article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there is plenty of newspaper coverage of the "Olivia Raney Library". I added a reference from 1899 with extensive coverage in the The News & Observer of its opening. Perhaps the page should be renamed Olivia Raney Library.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nnev66 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I tend to agree that this article fails WP:BIO but I do think the library itself is notable. In addition, most of the content in this article concerns the library rather than the woman. Perhaps the article could be draftified and rewritten as the Olivia Raney Library. Jtwhetten (talk) 19:55, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I voted to delete above, which probably added to the impression that we need more consensus. I agree with the later suggestions to rewrite this article so it is about the library, IF the library is notable in its own right. I believe the requirements can be found at WP:ORG. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:52, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Question: There seems to be consensus here that renaming the page to Olivia Raney Library makes sense. I added articles from The News & Observer published in 1901, 1932, and 1996 with WP:SIGCOV of the library. Not sure if extended confirmed Wikipedia editors can still access newspapers.com, where I found these articles. Also, if this article can be renamed Olivia Raney Library it could be edited from existing source to reflect it's about the library. Nnev66 (talk) 18:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aviationwikiflight and @Lolzer3000, per WP:AIRCRASH and WP:AV community consensus, crashes of <10 place bizjets are treated like crashes of other GA aircraft: they're only listed in aircraft articles if the crash is notable enough to have a dedicated Wikipedia page, or if it killed or significantly impacted the life of a Wikinotable person. Case in point: the article about the Cessna Citation I, which entered service the same year as the Falcon 10 and had about 3x as many units produced, lists only four crashes.

Redirect to Overtime. The article as it stands now is a lot of unverified text that is essentially unsourced (though I did just add a citation after rewriting the lede).

@Fram, just giving the reason why I created the page in the first place so users voting have the full picture. There are numerous chapter lists of fraternities and societies and I see this as similar to that. And I also don't want information I transfered from that page and expanded to be lost so this should be merged back to the main article if not kept as a seperate article.

Comment: I added several citations to the stub-article, and some content. There are dozens more articles at OAsport (it) over several years. I think she medalled 2nd in a 2020 championship [28], and another. On quick look, it seems she was the highest ranking rider for the Italy eventing team at Paris 2024, and you don't get to the Olympics unless you already have a good competition record. I'll take a closer look later when I have more time. ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 15:53, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Dealing with Italian-only articles has been difficult, but I was able to find out some more information which I added to the article. From what I was able to find and understand, I would say that Bertoli likely meets notability standards regardless of my amateur attempts at rummaging through Italian articles. Still probably rated as a stub-level article, it is much improved over the version that was AfD'd. [29] ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 06:15, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Steve Darling. There was a rough consensus against keeping this as a standalone article. One participant raised a valid argument against the proposed merger, on the basis of WP:UNDUE. However, that is an editorial issue outside the administrative scope of this AfD, and should be discussed on the target's Talk page. Owen×☎12:03, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as article creator- I'm not strongly opposed to a merge but I created a separate article because the level of sustained media coverage over time is indicative of independent notability, e.g. this Sky News segment from two days ago in which she was the primary focus- most media focus is very much primarily focused on Jennie, rather than primarily focused on Steve Darling and discussing her only as an aside. Chessrat(talk, contributions)17:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"She is not the first guide dog to serve in Westminster, as House of Lords members Baron Blunkett and Baron Holmes of Richmond also use guide dogs in the chamber.[4]"
Delete - Agreed with the above that there is nothing to show that she has any notability of her own, independent of her owner, and as all of the main points are covered already in Steve Darling's article, there is no need for a merge. I have no objections to having it Redirect to Steve Darling as well, if others think that would be useful. Rorshacma (talk) 16:18, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Steve Darling]. Although the sources on Jennie are good and they seem to meet WP:GNG, there isn't much content to warrant a separate article. She is adequately covered in the Steve Darling article, which can be expanded if more information about her becomes available.DesiMoore (talk) 20:49, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Doesn't matter if sources aren't discussing Jennie independently from Steve Darling as long they are mentioning Jennie. Article meets GNG and recieves independent coverage. No gain to the project by deleting, doesn't violate any policies. Maybe eventually she'll get as much coverage as Larry (cat), but the coverage she gets currently is more than enough to warrant an article DimensionalFusion (talk ▪ she/her) 14:08, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I disagree with @User:hinnk and @User:Reywas92 that Jennie is not independently notable. Subject has received significant coverage in its own right: articles specifically about the dog, not Steve Darling, in the Mirror and Sky News on 11–15 July; the BBC and The Guardian on 28–29 July; and again in The Independent on 15 September. The gap in time here is enough to convince me that it's not an isolated flash in the pan (in this respect it bears some resemblance to other media-generated recurring stories like the "Pizza Club" which lurk on the edges of notability independent of MPs). As the articles remark, there's considerable "Westminster bubble" and wider social media interest which is certainly not reducible to any great fascination with the as yet far-from-illustrious career of Steve Darling. I'm also not totally convinced the article is doomed to stubbiness. The BBC story about the dog being attacked in September 2023 sheds some interesting light on its biography, and Larry the cat has accumulated a frankly unnerving amount of content. —Kilopylae (talk) 18:53, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Against merger: I think either Jennie is notable qua Jennie or not notable at all—I don't see that anyone has made the argument for Jennie being notable qua Steve Darling. Coverage focuses on the dog, not the owner. They're distinct topics and RS don't support treating one as a subtopic of the other (in some boring technical sense it's probably SYNTH or UNDUE, because RS on Steve Darling don't support the idea that an important fact about him is the fame of his dog). —Kilopylae (talk) 09:09, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Thesetwo sources provide plenty of sigcov. Additionally, the advice at WikiProject Poker suggests that poker players who win more than a million dollars in a single event at an established tournament are "generally notable". Thesesources from the article show that he won over $2.5 million in the 2016 WSOP $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Main Event. I believe this is enough to establish that Ruane is notable. P.S.

A redirect with the history preserved under the redirect will allow the redirect to be undone if significant coverage in reliable sources is found in the future.

A beauty pageant that fails WP:NEVENT. All sourcing is from either the pageant organizer or from bellezavenezolana.net. My analysis that this is a self published source has found at least one other editor in concurrence at RSN. Best to WP:TNT and start over if any good sources exist; my Spanish skills are nil and I haven't been able to find them. The article used to have more sources but they were invariably blogs and other SPS material. Here is a link to the prior revision before they were removed. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related page because of basically the same sourcing issue (save for two citations attesting that one of the contestants is gay):

:Keep and wait it's likely that the consequences of Fujimori's death will be notable; he will be getting a state funeral per El País and there will be more to come. If by the end of the seven days there's nothing notable that's happened, then I'll change my vote. Jaguarnik (talk) 07:01, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The man has just died, there's little point in nominating the article now, how big the event will be is WP:CRYSTAL. Besides, the article passes WP:GNG and the funeral itself and its aftermath are yet to happen. I would like to point out that this isn’t just any state funeral; this was one of if not the most influential figure in Peruvian politics and across Latin America. Abcmaxx (talk) 07:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The guy may be influential, but the circumstances of death doesn't really ring much. If it were an extraordinary COD it may have passed GNG. As for the funeral it is WP:CRYSTAL. Borgenland (talk) 08:34, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keepwithout prejudice to re-nominating later or userfying if it turns out there's not much to say. In my experience, these notnews/crystal deletions are typically pointless -- the news keeps rolling in, and the article gets edited, until it's clear whether it's notable. The deletion rationale seems simple at the front end, but trying to discuss notability as new articles get added daily is like trying to sweep back the tides ("relisting, anyone care to comment on the new sources identified above?")merge to Alberto Fujimori. Very little of note was reported around his funeral; it appears no attendance or accolades from world leaders; nothing significant surrounding the event itself.Oblivy (talk) 09:11, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Main article can easily cover this. "Death of [Person]" articles do not need to exist separately from biographical articles that the person already had — they're created only where the death itself is a notable event but the person was not independently notable enough to get a conventional biographical article at all, meaning that they exist instead of a biographical article about the dead person, not as a supplement to a biographical article about the dead person. The deaths of already-notable people with biographical articles are covered in the biographical article, not in separate death-of spinoffs. Bearcat (talk) 14:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Although there's WP:SIGCOV, Fujimori already has an article. There's no need for a second one detailing his death - all new information can be added to the main article.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:56, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/delete Yet another absurd rush to create separate and redundant pages. Add content to Alberto Fujimori#Illness and death, then propose a split if there's sufficient content. The main article also has a whole Legacy section that would cover how people react to his death. If you think the main article is too long, move other content to the several existing subarticles rather than jumping to make another. Reywas92Talk17:07, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Notable political figures who already had biographical articles do not get their deaths spun off to separate "death of notable figure" articles — "Death of X" articles exist only for people who were not already notable in life so that the death itself is their entire basis for notability, and people who were already notable in life have their deaths covered in the biographical article rather than in a separate content fork. Bearcat (talk) 22:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is this meant to be opinion or a statement of policy/guidelines/consensus? There many articles, for example Death and state funeral of Ruhollah Khomeini, Death of Li Keqiang, Death and state funeral of Elizabeth II and so on, for people who were extremely notable in life. I'm not arguing for WP:OTHER, but I genuinely wonder if what you are saying is a policy, guideline, or even a consensus in the community.N.B. [[Category:Deaths and funerals of politicians]] appears to support my point above about apparent lack of consensus for the position that these articles are not for people who were famous in life.Oblivy (talk) 22:53, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/delete - Death by old age is not unusual, its not like an assassination or a suicide. Reactions to his death are better included at his own article to boost the Legacy section to tell us what impact he had - these reactions are not to his death but to him as a person (whether positive or negative). While there will be a state funeral, it does not seem like the type of long-term ceremonies that were held for people like Queen Elizabeth II (like at Death and state funeral of Elizabeth II). So most of this content is either already in the bio article or can be easily merged, and a separate article is unnecessary. --Masem (t) 12:25, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a separate article for the death of a state leader feels unnecessary. Unless more specific information is released that deems this article to be noteworthy, the information presented within this article would fit best with the original Alberto Fujimori article.--Ch3sp1n13 (talk) 10:11, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Article does seem relevant, however the fact that it died by old age it’s not notable and the funeral and aftermath can be easily merged in the main article. Protoeus (talk) 01:28, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge / Delete The manner of his death was not newsworthy in itself, the funeral will be covered, but IMHO doesn’t need its own page when it can be used to cap off the main page about him instead.
Keep : I think this a Wikipedia-worthy article. The death of a president, in this case an authoritarian leader who had a lot of controversies while he ruled seems like a notable topic to me. Similarly, the future events as regards his funeral is also something to look out for given his legacies. Instead of a deletion nomination, I’ll suggest the article is kept and developed as more eventful information unfolds.additional comment the funeral held already but I’ll still retain my ‘keep-vote’.
Everyone's making crap up again. There is no guideline that says state funerals are entitled to standalone articles. The content about the president's death can be covered in the president's own article. Reywas92Talk20:04, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion. While we have had great participation here, almost every editor is focusing on the wrong question, whether or not you, as a person, think this event "deserves" an article. That factor is not important here. We assess discussions based on policies that are relevant and just as importantly, what reliable sources support. This article has been expanded since its nomination but I see no editors providing a review of the sources. This is what is needed to determine its notability, not opinions on whether or not this is an important event. Also, please do not move this article during this AFD discussion, or closure tools, XFDcloser can't decipher what to do when the page title of the article is different from the one at the top of this discussion page. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!02:41, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back into original article, leaving no redirect. Hey, a notable person (we went to the same university) dies; there is a funeral, etc. But that does not in any way justify a separate article about the guy dying. --Orange Mike | Talk20:34, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's nothing notable about Fujimori's death. Most of the coverage just mentions that the guy died, with details being about his career, not the death or funeral. Cortador (talk) 21:14, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge 18 of the 39 sources discuss his funeral/national mourning in Peru, and 11 of the sources talk about the reactions to his death, so I would not say that the death lacks notable coverage, but his death was very ordinary and will not have sustained coverage; most of the details can be added to his article. Jaguarnik (talk) 21:29, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Alberto Fujimori per WP:RELART as an article about his death by necessity duplicates what's in the article itself. My only concern is that the target article is currently at a hefty 169K (8000 words) although this already includes content about his death, funeral and legacy. Redirect is needed for edit history, unless there's so little missing in the target that copying is unnecessary. Oblivy (talk) 08:08, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with the main article; it's clearly notable, but per WP:NOPAGE this seems like a case where "a notable topic can be covered better as part of a larger article, where there can be more complete context". His political career and crimes are necessary context for the responses to his trial. If the article is too long, moving information from the lengthy sections on his presidencies and arrest and trial seems more reasonable to me.

Fail to see how this is notable. Whole article is probably WP:SYNTH. Creator of this article conveniently added no pages for the citations, and when I looked into one of two of them (can't access the other, though it is likely the same case), I found no mention about this event [30]. I'm not surprised, since they also misused citations at Han–Xiongnu War (215 BC–200 BC)[31][32]HistoryofIran (talk) 02:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per HistoryofIran, I read the references cited in the article, and could find absolutely no mention of either this battle, or of Hemshin itself. I had a good search and couldn’t find any other sources on it either - not a single mention of Hemshin / Hemşin anywhere for the early 1830s, battle or otherwise.

This is primary research self-published in advertising blogs (WP:PRIMARY, WP:BLOGS). However, a couple of independent, non-scientific publications (The Atlantic, Washington Post; see refs 14 and 16 in article) picked it up and published their own short articles mentioning it, so I guess that notability is somewhat murky. Antispasm (talk) 02:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all the sources are really only so so but they used a lot of academic articles in an attempt to make it appear legit. Also this is a first for me but there's a fake citation! Rosenbaum & Heidary 2014 is not a real article, if you follow the DOI it takes you to Vachon, Lynam, and Johnson 2014. If you Google the title of the article it only returns the 52/17 page.

An incredibly minor fictional character that, from what I can tell, only appeared in one, single issue of a comic. The one non-primary source being used in the article simply summarizes the plot of that single appearance. Searches turned up absolutely nothing else, not even brief mentions, on the character in reliable sources. Even fan wikis like the Marvel Database don't have an entry on the character. The character is as completely non-notable as a fictional character can possibly be, and is a complete failure of the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 00:44, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge & Redirect to List of Luke Cage and Iron Fist supporting characters due to lack of notability. The new article has her listed but she is one of the few characters without a description, which this merge can solve
Comment - I touched upon this in another similar AFD earlier today, but this particular case is a even bigger example of why a Merge to that article is improper. A throwaway adversary that appeared in one issue of a comic is not a "supporting character" of Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Listing the character on that page as if they were is outright misleading. Rorshacma (talk) 01:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of where it is, a completely inconsequential character that made one single-issue appearance is too non-notable to be merged or mentioned anywhere. The very act of covering the character on Wikipedia in any capacity would create more notability for the character than actually exists. Rorshacma (talk) 16:25, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is a different objection from "listing him under supporting characters is misleading". The fact that the character has received its own entry in the specialized Encyclopediaof Super-Villains (although that one differs somewhat in nature to our encyclopedia here) in my view gives him enough notability, obviously not for a stand-alone article, but for a two-sentence summary in a list. And that view is not based on personal evaluation of the primary material. It's also one common way lists work. And I don't see a benefit in not having this condensed information.

Key-word being "often," not always. Consider if you were making this list from the ground up, with no prior articles existing. Would you include these kinds of one-off characters in a list? Wikipedia doesn't need to cover every minor character; if we did, it'd fall deep into FANCRUFT territory, and I don't use that word lightly. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 13:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Pokelego999: Well, if I were to construct such a list from the ground up, using the publisher-spanning Enyclopedia of Super-Villains as a baseline rather than deciding based on my feeling who belongs and who doesn't does not sound like such a bad idea. Daranios (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Discretion should still be taken with some form of inclusion criteria, and one source should not be relied upon for a whole list. In the case of Impasse, given the multitudes of encyclopedias and the fact that seemingly only one encyclopedia even covers them in any form of depth, I would not consider Impasse to be a significant character given how little they are brought up in broader coverage. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 18:09, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If there would be multiple encyclopedias covering the character, we would be back a creating a stand-alone article for him. But here we are talking about a very brief entry in a list. And for such a brief inclusion, using one encyclopedia as a basis seems ok to me in the balance between presenting a summary of all human knowledge but not becoming WP:INDISCRIMINATE. As Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, we do not need to be extra picky about space. (And I am not arguing about creating the list of supporting characters based solely on one source, that's an entirely diffent discussion.) Daranios (talk) 08:08, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most lists I've seen in some state of organization tend to require some form of inclusion criteria in order to keep the list stable. If we were to include every single minor character who has ever graced comic books, the list would go far beyond the realm of easy readability, which would be detrimental to reader understanding.
I will additionally note that multiple encyclopedias covering a character does not them notable; most encyclopedias tend to just be plot summary of the original work with no real commentary. They are a good judge of getting plot information and the like together, as well as to verify various aspects of a character, but at least from what I've seen, the large bulk of comic encyclopedias brought up in AfDs have just been summarizations of the character's home work, and thus would not qualify as WP:SIGCOV regardless of publisher.
