Defunct game that fails GNG. Has had no GNG passing sourcing for 15 years now, and searching reveals little more than fan sites wondering why the game died and is unlikely to ever be notable. Article is also an irretrievable mess of in-universe fancruft/advertising copy. Macktheknifeau (talk) 23:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:No original research. Article is built almost entirely from primary sources like concert programs and theater performance databases. There are no independent secondary sources which address the subject directly and in detail. While I don't doubt that the subject could arguably meet WP:NMUSICIAN based on primary sources, the overuse of primary materials is problematic for its WP:OR. This is an example of someone who needs some coverage in secondary sources in order to be compliant with policies outside WP:N. We fundamentally can't build an article mainly off of primary materials. This is an example of where an academic needs to do some work first and get published in a journal or write something up in a book before we can have an article. 4meter4 (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is probably someone who could pass GNG if you were a German speaking/reading interwar musical history fan who had access to period news archives. But no-one like that has shown up to put in some significant coverage, and the article creator got banned for fake referencing so what references are there are already suspect and might not be legitimate. Macktheknifeau (talk) 00:30, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NACTOR. I’m not against primary sources. My problem is that her roles are basically supporting roles in opera, and so there’s likely not much left to find. Bearian (talk) 08:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable topic - the MIT source does not mention the article title, and the Chinese source seems to be a primary source and/or blog. LR.127 (talk) 23:15, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NEXISTS I was able easily to find, for example:
Peoples Daily Overseas Ed., AV Market Ushering in a Short Drama Boom 视听市场迎来“短剧热 [1] explaining the phenomenon in many paragraphs
Guangming Daily News, A Taste of "Cool" and "Sweet" - Don't let these short dramas dominate your life 一味“爽”与“甜” 别让微短剧离生活越来越远 [2] a Zhejiang Normal University professor commenting on these videos
If there are any concerns about these sources, feel free to say so and I will continue my search.I don't think the Guangzhou Daily News source linked in the article[3] is a blog entry, since it has a byline and doesn't have a disclaimer about user-generated content. I can't see any way it would be primary. Did I miss something?Not specifically directed at this editor, but I have noticed a lot of nominations for poorly sourced China-related articles which have substantial native language coverage. To be sure, the problem starts with editors who create poorly sourced articles on China-related topics. But these nominations put a burden on a small number of en.wikipedia editors who follow this board and can handle Chinese language sources. The burden (per WP:BEFORE) is to do a reasonable search, and I believe a search that doesn't fully embrace native language articles is unlikely to be a reasonable one. Oblivy (talk) 00:18, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources found by Oblivy and Prince of Erebor definitively establish that Duanju passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Thank you both for your detailed searches for sources here and at other Chinese-topic AfDs. I endorse Oblivy's comment here:

The result was no consensus. Whether it should be kept outright or merged can be addressed via a merge discussion, but it's clear that we have no consensus to delete this article. asilvering (talk) 21:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge. The nominator himself doesn't argue for deletion, and if a merge is desired, that is typically handled through the use of the merge template; there's no reason that this needed to go through AfD. The label clearly meets the sense of one of the more important indies as described in WP:MUSIC, and as the article's sources already demonstrate, it routinely gets coverage in the music press (which makes sense, since it has had several dozen notable artists signed to it). Since this is a sublabel of Tooth & Nail, I'm not terribly picky over whether it is merged into the parent label article or not, but since we very clearly wouldn't want a redlink here, I don't understand why this discussion was even opened. Chubbles (talk) 12:56, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Record labels are not evaluated under WP:NMUSIC. We've been through this discussion a million times. This article is uanble to satisfy NCORP to have its own standalone article. Graywalls (talk) 23:14, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We certainly have been through this discussion a million times, and it doesn't change the fact that NCORP doesn't make any more sense as an evaluative tool for labels as it would for bands (which are nearly all for-profit corporations). I am as tired of arguing about this as you are. Chubbles (talk) 07:50, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Take it to Village Pump if you want to see "record labels" classified into a different bin of SNG. Until consensus grants a change, it remains under NORG/NCORP. @Chubbles:, you said don't understand why this discussion was even opened. I would have been happy with the re-direct I made or re-targeting. This is the reason it ended up here for further discussion. Graywalls (talk) 17:15, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What in this particular case, would satisfy the NCORP criteria? I am aware of sources, primarily interviews, that cover the origins and history of Solid State Records. I would be willing to dedicate some time to adding that history if that would benefit the article and this conversation. Metalworker14 (talk) 14:31, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Metalworker14: It's explained in depth at WP:NCORP. Amateur interviews and podcasts do not count whatsoever. Contents from interview that come things said by company/band personnel do not count towards notability, because that's not in-depth independent coverage. Please ask after having fully read the guidelines. Graywalls (talk) 17:15, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge. Subject is a long-lasting indie label, seeking to delete because coverage is primarily discussed in context of their signing seems silly, and actively making Wikipedia less valuable as a resource. The notability of releases from this label should contribute, not sure what we could ever find to make a label notable in the eyes of those who wish to delete. glman (talk) 17:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
not sure what we could ever find to make a label notable in the eyes of those who wish to delete I mean, Motown has multiple books written about it. More reasonably, Warp Records comes to mind as an example of a WP:NCORP-meeting indie label. Mach6117:13, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting. We are hovering between Keep and Merge but those are two very different outcomes.

I've done a source assessment of the citations this page, and it doesn't seem like this article passes WP:GNG, if we are to assume my assessments are 100% accurate.
As per WP:BLP, all sources must strictly adhere to the three core policies due to the sensitivity with these kinds of articles, and only two of this article's sources appear to do so. As such, I believe starting an AfD is the right path to take. Jurtatalk/he/they22:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Just not enough good sources we can use for notability. Forbes is a contributor piece, so a non-RS. Source 4 is probably the best, but it's mostly videos the person has posted with brief text. Rest appear non-rs or trivial. I can only find Games Rant [14], which doesn't appear to be a RS per Project Video games. I'd be willing to use it if we had other, better sources. There just isn't enough here.

This was originally deleted in 2008 following a discussion, with the primary rationale being that this is a non-notable neologism based on a History Channel documentary. That assessment is still correct 16 years later. The sources cited here are clickbaity articles that all eventually end up back at the History Channel documentary or a more recent Travel Channel documentary on the same topic. This is a term made up by television producers to pick up views. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:39, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No serious media seem to discuss this. Plenty of coverage from our usual Indian news sources that don't seem particularly RS [20], [21]. The second one in particular is only written by "staff", so could be iffy. Odd that Indian media is interested in this, when no US media seems to be. Oaktree b (talk) 23:12, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The sourcing hasn't fundamentally changed, and is, quite frankly, surface-level musings with no in-depth analysis, and that all seem to end up repeating claims about aliens, conspiracy theories, and the possible involvement of a "man-eating monster known as a Wendigo". And that's just from the non-clickbait The Jerusalem Post. (It's also weirdly racist. Not that that impacts the notability of anything, but the Algonquin people have absolutely no connection to Alaska, yet the claim of "ooh, maybe Wendigos" is parroted, without question or explanation. Could that be because it's not an actual Jerusalem Post article? The byline indicates it was written by Walla! Communications Ltd. I have no idea about their reliability in general, but this article isn't giving me much faith.) GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 23:25, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all the above, appears to be nothing but History Channel woo, all mentions either non-RS or listicle-ish fluff.

WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:54, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not notable. If it is kept then "Rgs21" should clarify if they have any link to Ravi Guru Singh, the nickname of the article subject. Ttwaring (talk) 17:28, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - substantively this page has more citations and support than many other notability pages. Rgs21 may be on vacation or unavailable and the page should not hinge on that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.101.114.12 (talk) 15:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - almost entirely self-published sources. A lawyer or writer is famous for writing; they are not notable for that. One can make yourself famous; to become notable requires other people writing about you. See WP:GNG. Bearian (talk) 08:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I reviewed, the people writing about the subject include Marc Bain at the Business of Fashion (extensively), Divya Bhandari at the Hindu (extensively -- on the digital fashion and the future for India) -- articles are behind paywalls. To a lesser extent, the subject is written about and cited in other law.com articles on decentralized autonomous organizations, by the author Robert Schwinger, a prominent partner at Norton Rose Fulbright, an elite law firm. The Business of Fashion and the Hindu, are credible, reputable and independent sources. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.85.105.72 (talk) 15:27, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then point out the others. You have failed to do so as of yet. Also, with only 65 edits and not editing Wikipedia in over a year, I am curious what brought you to this specific AfD discussion. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:02, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The subject is recognized in high-profile publications, has substantial coverage that compiles with Wikipedia's notability criteria. Toopus (talk) 18:29, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – He meets the criteria of WP:GNG due to significant coverage in reliable, independent sources such as Business of Fashion, Vogue, Elle, The Times of India, and The Hindu. These outlets provide in-depth coverage of his contributions in digital fashion, AI activism, and law. He also meets notability in the "Others" category with his media appearances in a Netflix show, his role in a documentary at the Cleveland International Film Festival, and his work in legal publications. DominicJoshua (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:24, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep – For reasons stated above, this is GNG. Added additional coverage.

Draftify: I struck out my previous !vote. She is the most likely candidate to be elected, the by-election is in a couple of weeks, and I think draftify would be the best option until the by-election date. GMH Melbourne (talk) 23:59, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – From a functional standpoint, I agree it would be unhelpful if Tudehope was elected in about three weeks' time and this article had been deleted by then. However, "she might be elected" is not a policy-based reason and keeping the article or dratifying it on that basis alone would not only violate policy but set a bad precedent. This reminds me of something similar that happened with a federal (national) candidate in Canada whose article was deleted and recreated twice because he was the hopeful, won in the preliminary voting, then lost by a narrow margin in the final count. Whose opinions are we giving unweight due to when we say that a candidate is the favourite to win? Why not create an article or draft for Duncan Voyage, in case he wins instead? From a policy standpoint, this article was created too soon and should not exist, and the arguments to keep it rely on contradictions of WP:FUTURE. Yue🌙21:56, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - coverage consists of interviews (primary sources that do not establish notability), blogs, brief mentions, and hyper-local coverage. Does not meet WP:NARTIST criteria for a notable artist. Netherzone (talk) 01:21, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the tag. What I see on the statistics alone is that the player has spent more time in Greece, which is not my expertise. He was a regular player in 2023-24 Super League for Panserraikos and now into the second season, so I can theorise there is wider coverage. However, this comes with the challenge of searching his name in the Greek alphabet. Unknown Temptation (talk) 09:01, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would accept draftify as an AtD (he is now a senior squad member for an MLS team so one would expect independent coverage before too long) although I worry we will be back here sooner than later if an editor returns the page to mainspace without going through AfC. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Looking at his minimal statistics on available stat sites, he appears to have a future in soccer, but there is no WP:SIGCOV at this point. And though a Draftify is a solution because of WP:TOOSOON, I don't think he will get the SIGCOV to meet WP:GNG in the next six months. Demt1298 (talk) 16:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command. The nomination was indeed flawed, as one participant correctly pointed out. Poor article content should be fixed editorially, and is not a valid deletion rationale. There is no policy support for deletion as a tool for rewriting an article about a notable topic, despite the popularity of the WP:TNT essay. That said, consensus is that this topic is not independently notable. Editors are welcome to selectively merge content into the target, if warranted. Owen×☎21:28, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I don't see why this can't be covered under the main Ceop article. This is a former program, that's been renamed, with no sourcing other than primary items. We don't need an old article to talk about something else; this is either notable or it isn't. I don't see coverage for this defunct website program thing. Oaktree b (talk) 23:18, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Article deletion is not the solution for badly written content, although blanking and redirection could be. However, this article has been completely rewritten since nomination and now is a stub that has 8 sources from 2 different countries. It can be improved and expanded upon.

Did a WP:BEFORE but I couldn't find enough to unambiguously pass WP:NBOOK or WP:GNG. The first source is an interview, which seems questionable as a source of notability for a book. The piece is part of the Yahoo for Creators program, which has an unclear level of editorial control from Yahoo itself, and may be published with little editorial oversight like WP:FORBESCON, but I'm not sure. The second source is a local news station, which I think is of questionable notability. The third source "Numlock News" is a self-published substack blog which as far as I am aware does not count towards notability. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:47, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Carrite: The book appears to be out now, having released on August 13 [23][24]. As a side note, I tried looking up the praise from people like Taylor Lorenz and Omer Benjakob from the Amazon listing, and these don't appear to originate from any review that would provide NBOOK coverage. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Search finds insufficient evidence of notability. The author recently wrote an opinion article for The Guardian, but there doesn't seem to be a review or any other mention of the book on that newspaper's site. The second source referred to by Hemiauchenia is an interview (2 mins, 53 secs) on KAMR-TV, the NBC affiliate in Amarillo, Texas; search brought up a similar interview segment on the Texas version of Good Morning America, on WFAA, the ABC affiliate in Dallas: 4 mins, 44 secs, hosted on Harrison's YouTube channel. Harrison has also uploaded a one-hour discussion of the book. None of these is fully independent and the TV interviews don't appear to have been picked up beyond the regional market. Our standards for notability of books are quite low, but without at least one independent published review in a reliable source, IMO they aren't met here.

There is no significant coverage of Guy Finley, his work or his teachings in reliable secondary sources. Most of it is blog posts and primary sources. A 2007 discussion ended with a Keep result, but the votes all relied on notability determined by Google hits, a Google featured link and Amazon sales rankings. These are outdated standards.

The references fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA or are otherwise unreliable. A WP:BEFORE was unable to find any significant coverage showing how this would be independently notable. Two editors (including myself) attempted to redirect to original Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii but IPs (likely LOGOUTSOCKin) have challenged so here we are. Would have recommend a redirect as an AP:ATD but doesn't seem that is an option at this point since that was challenged. CNMall41 (talk) 18:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Restore redirect to Cian Ducrot. Fails WP:NSONG. This song lacks significant coverage in reliable sources.

Keep per WP:MUSICBIO, demonstrates notability for point one and six. A few sources independent of the individual that show more than trivial interest, breaking down his playing style/technique, how he got started on bass in his early life and influences: [28], [29]. Point six mentions, "Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians." Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish and Lee Malia all have individual articles showing independent notability through musical collaborations and features, as well as production.

WP:BANDMEMBER:Individual members: Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability. --FMSky (talk) 07:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And you tried to remove an article when someone did demonstrate individual notability, doing so with the same argument for Lee Malia just for being a band member even though he was clearly notable. If the guideline says about this and three musicians in the band are notable in their own right outside of the band, then surely Matt Kean is protected under this guideline? Rockmusicfanatic20 (talk) 12:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The user who's previously deleted the article (without going through this process) cited WP:BANDMEMBER, which says: "Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unlessthey have demonstrated individual notability."
Individual notability through WP:MUSICBIO states that musicians are notable if:
· Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
The content of Kean's article directed about him specifically are sourced to Music Radar, Bass, EMG Pickups, Guitar Parts and the BBC.
· Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
Through the band he is apart of contributes to, they have had multiple number-one albums in their home country, as well as eight different UK Top 40 Hits.
· Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
Through his band that he contributes to, has multiple platinum-selling singles and albums in their home country alone, as well as Gold records in the United States as certified by the RIAA.
· Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
While there's nothing currently in the article about this, there are likely articles online discussing Kean on tour which should be added to help demonstrate his independent notability.
· Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)
Four of the albums he has worked on with his band have been on major labels such as RCA and Sony Music.
· 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.
Kean is in a band with Oli Sykes, Jordan Fish and Lee Malia who are all prominent musicians who display their independent notability, through other collaborations, producing other works and music scoring for films.
· 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.
Kean is a prominent bass guitarist in his genre who is well-known and has been featured on guitar magazines specifically about him as a bassist. If he wasn't notable, a guitar magazine would not be using him as the headline of the magazine.[30]
· Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammy award. Note that this requires the person or band to have been the direct recipient of a nomination in their own name, and is not passed by playing as a session musician on an album whose award citation was not specifically for that person's own contributions.
He has been nominated for several Grammy's and BRIT awards, winning a BRIT award with his band for best alternative act this year.
· Has won first, second, or third place in a major music competition.
Kean has never been in a music competition, rendering this one of the only guidelines for independent notability he won't meet.
· Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, such as a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album.
He has performed on Channel 4's (UK Broadcasting Network) Sunday Brunch, a television show, with his band.[31]
· Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
Out of all the independent notability guidelines, there are only TWO he fails to comply to. At the top of the section, it's said that: Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meetat least oneof the following criteria. He follows not only one, but TEN of the twelve listed criteria, so therefore the article should be kept. Rockmusicfanatic20 (talk) 13:26, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To add to my point as per above, Matt Kean also qualifies for WP:COMPOSER. He is also credited as a song writer on some of the bands biggest hits including "Drown" (the band's only UK Top 20 single), "Throne" (UK Platinum-selling single) and "Mantra" (Australian Platinum-selling single). By virtue of this, he ticks off two of the composers criteria for notability, as well as the previous ten I've mentioned for MUSICBIO above.

Article about a business competition, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for business competitions. The main notability claim on offer here is that this existed, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself -- making this notable enough for a Wikipedia article would be a matter of showing that it passed WP:GNG on its sourceability, not merely of stating its existence. But the only source here is the self-published website of the thing itself, rather than any evidence of third-party coverage about it, and a Google search didn't find much else. I'm willing to withdraw this if a British editor with much better access to archived British media coverage from 15-20 years ago than I've got can find the sourcing needed to salvage it, but it can't just be kept in perpetuity without sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 15:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Notability is not at issue. The subject is absolutely worthy of an article. Agreed, AfD is not a place for article cleanup. Draftspace is. This article is not currently fit for article mainspace though - a lot of what's there makes literally no sense - sorry to be harsh, but some is just gibberish. But the article can't be moved to draft space because there is already a draft article there, and nobody bothered going through WP:AFC, they just copied and pasted back to a mainspace article.

I did write on the talk page that it needs expansion and I will be doing some of that myself.

The article is a clear case of WP:SYNTH. Google Books provide no results at all for "Northern Campaign of Raghunath Rao" or the original title "Northern Conquest of Raghunath Rao". The editor has arbitrarily linked various battles of his own choice into a single conflict, not supported by any RS. Also, note that the orginal creator has been banned for sockpuppetry, and multiple sockpuppets have often tried to restore the article after other editors redirected the page. PadFoot (talk) 12:05, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; clearly lacks notability as a singular subject. Much of the content fails verification and tries to blow out of proportion the historical significance of the events involving the winning states, as is typical with these socks.

He does not have to be. "Backdoor deletion" (less pejoratively referred to as WP:BLARing) can be done by any user.

Keep. Runner is a multiple-time international gold medallist satisfying WP:NATH and he has been covered in print media under his Arabic name "جمال عبدي حسن". A lot of print media from his era hasn't been digitized, but there are some remnants of prose online i.e. from Al Jazeera. He also had a viral moment falling on the water jump at the '96 Olympics which caused him to not make the finals. I don't have the text yet (working on it), but I know for a fact that infamous fall was covered in a The Times issue (transcribed in a news stream here) so that's another avenue for sourcing. Based on WP:NEXISTS, I think enough breadcrumbs are here to justify keeping the article with some work. --Habst (talk) 17:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:NATH is definitely not satisfied in the absence of any IRS SIGCOV sources. The Al Jazeera source above has all of one sentence on him in a list of event results, and categorically does not count towards notability. In the 5000m race, Qatari Jamal Abdi Hassan Abdullah came in seventh with a time of 13.04.65. Moroccans Salah Hissou and Abdel Rahim Al-Ghomri came in eleventh and sixteenth with a time of 13.16.87 and 13.36.08 respectively. We have zero indication that anything in The Times is non-routine SIGCOV, or even anything beyond a photo caption. JoelleJay (talk) 23:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, WP:NATH is definitely not satisfied in the absence of any IRS SIGCOV sources -- can you please provide a policy source that states this? It's definitely not supported by the text of NATH or the WP:NSPORTS2022 consensus on this issue. WP:NEXISTS is a valid policy to cite in this context while we work to comb through print media from the 1990s. --Habst (talk) 13:18, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How many times do people have to explain to you that meeting SPORTCRIT is required for an athlete to meet NSPORT? You can meet a sport-specific sub-criterion via achievement, but you still have to meet NSPORT for any presumptions of coverage to apply. JoelleJay (talk) 20:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, I greatly respect your contributions here and hope you can extend the same respect to me. I think that WP:NATH and WP:SPORTCRIT are two separate parts of NSPORT without a clearly defined relationship to each other. Prong 2 of NATH is clearly met here by the subject's multiple international medals in distance running. To say that NATH isn't satisfied despite that simply isn't supported by the policy.
Also, NSPORT is only a guideline along with other more established guidelines such as WP:NEXISTS. If we can determine together that coverage exists of this athlete meeting the bar for notability, a keep vote would be justified. --Habst (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I misread "NATH" as a synonym for "NSPORT". But regardless, all sport-specific criteria are subordinate to the overarching requirements at SPORTCRIT. Otherwise SPORTCRIT #5 would make no sense and the robust consensus at NSPORT2022 would be functionally ignored. JoelleJay (talk) 21:18, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, if a consensus is functionally ignored, then that means it's not actually a consensus. I don't think your description of NSPORTS2022 matches the text of the summary, which says, There is a general consensus that the NSPORTS guideline still has broad community support, which includes WP:NATH as a part of NSPORTS. Speaking of subordination, all of NSPORTS is subordinate to broader guidelines like WP:GNG and WP:NEXISTS, so if we can fulfill those, there is no need to fulfill SPORTCRIT.
If we delete this article, my understanding is we would effectively be saying that Abdi Hassan is the only steeplechase Olympian since 1924 to have not met the notability guidelines. I'm not ruling out that it's possible, but it certainly deserves more effort than we have put in so far. For example, prompted by the below comment I looked at the page history and found several alternative names for the subject we can use as leads for name-searching. --Habst (talk) 13:30, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The consensus has been observed in literally thousands of AfDs by this point. Only a very small cohort of editors ignore it or are ignorant of it. Your understanding of PAGs is clearly at odds with the rest of the community's. JoelleJay (talk) 22:05, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, my views are consistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines which I strive to follow. If you have a particular issue, please cite the policy or guideline which you think I misinterpreted and we can discuss it. As I said before, I greatly respect your work and viewpoints here, and I hope that we can converse respectfully without resorting to personal comments. --Habst (talk) 23:57, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are claiming that a recent strong global consensus to require citing a GNG-contributing source in all athlete biographies is invalid because the same discussion didn't find a consensus to deprecate the entirety of NSPORT, and therefore its pre-RfC guidance is still in effect. As if following (your misreading of) one of the sub-outcomes of that RfC moots all of the findings of consensus for change in the same closing statement, all the subsequent consensuses at NSPORT for implementing those changes, and all the thousands of AfDs and major followup RfCs like LUGSTUBS 1 & 2 enforcing those changes. Stop wasting people's time with this trolling. JoelleJay (talk) 00:25, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, I'm following my understanding of the consensus. a recent strong global consensus to require citing a GNG-contributing source in all athlete biographies -- that's not what the consensus was, per Special:Diff/1246440039, an athlete biography could still be kept even if it doesn't cite a GNG-contributing source as long as it fulfills broader policies like WP:NEXISTS. This is a direct quote from the person who established SPORTCRIT: SPORTBASIC #5 was never intended, nor should it be misused, to trump or overrule the more general, overarching rule.
I still appreciate your contributions to the encyclopedia which we are both here to build. Your last comment was unnecessary. --Habst (talk) 12:43, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
...You're quoting one of the editors who most vehemently opposed NSPORT2022, repeatedly tried to stifle its implementation, and was cautioned at ANI for enlisting others to ignore SPORTCRIT #5, as if his opinion reflects any kind of consensus. And anyway we have the creator of SPORTCRIT #5 also saying in the same discussion that Such circumstances are very rare, and I've only come across one circumstance in the past two years (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Vehmeier) where I concluded that it was appropriately applied. That is far from the application of NBASIC you have been attempting so you should interpret #5 as overriding it.If you're going to keep making utterly nonsensical claims about NSPORT I'm going to continue calling them out. JoelleJay (talk) 01:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, when I use WP:NEXISTS I assure you it's based in policy and made in good faith. If you disagree with the sources existing, please make claims to that effect. Broad guidelines like GNG and NEXISTS are not invalidated just because there is some smaller subject-specific guideline on Wikipedia. --Habst (talk) 13:08, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not Cbl62. I guess "warning" isn't the right term given its more specific meanings here, but certainly cautioned: BeanieFan11 should still be well aware that that warning did enjoy significant support and the consensus may be more clear if this comes up again.NEXISTS doesn't mean you can just assume coverage exists merely because the subject meets your arbitrary presumptive standards. JoelleJay (talk) 23:32, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're quoting one of the editors who most vehemently opposed NSPORT2022 ... [who] was cautioned at ANI for enlisting others to ignore SPORTCRIT #5 – FWIW, there was no warning given at that ANI, which resulted in no consensus. You also enlisted that argument at the Vehmeier AFD; as an admin said there, There was no consensus to warn anyone at ANI and you should strike the comment as incorrect.BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: but with regret and reluctance. Rutledge seems to have been a prolific photographer[her whose work was often published in Vogue. However it has proved impossible to find online references.

Articles on the previous two seasons of this TV series are redirects to Tamasha (TV series) and I don't believe this one meets GNG either. I suggest merging it into the main Tamasha article and in-fact, I attempted to do this, but my edit was reverted, leaving me no choice but to take it to AFD. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 09:51, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, it meets GNG criteria. And as far as the previous two seasons are concerned. It doesn't matter if previous seasons have their respective pages or not; it should be judged independently on GNG criteria. There is more information which will be added to the page such as day by day activities which will be difficult to include in the Shows main page.

Deleted via PROD last year, recently recreated as a translation of bn:রেডিও কলোনি মডেল স্কুল এন্ড কলেজ. Meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:ORG, so fails WP:NSCHOOL. Searches in English and Bengali found nothing but passing mentions and indiscriminate directory listings.

The result was keep some, merge or redirect some. Specifically, The Adventuress of Henrietta Street and Unnatural History (novel) are kept since I can't see any reasonable prospect for arriving at a consensus to delete. As for the other three, there seems to be some consensus to either redirect or merge. What and how much can be left to a merge discussion on the relevant articles' talk pages, and any suggested action here might be altered by said discussion on those talk pages.
Might I also suggest for next time, that WP:MERGEPROP, as a more flexible discussion format, might more easily handle this type of situation where each article might have a different result and the most "delety" result needed is a redirect, which nobody seems to object to. (non-admin closure)Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:16, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons (though the last one has a plot summary; however, the other issues still persist):
Keep some, merge rest. The obvious redirect is Eighth Doctor Adventures, but there are various merge choices. Faction Paradox works for The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, but the individual authors may make more sense for some material. I’ve just added a citation to Unnatural History, which is the most developed article and I suggest worth keeping. Bondegezou (talk) 15:24, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am unclear why you said there was nothing on Google Scholar. I've just found a second citation there (Third Person: Authoring and Exploring Vast Narratives) and have added it to the article. I've also added a third citation. Let's do some proper WP:BEFORE work. Bondegezou (talk) 10:49, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Likewise, I've just added three citations for The Adventuress of Henrietta Street. Butler goes into some depth discussing it. I suggest keep for Adventuress, Unnatural and Angel. Bondegezou (talk) 11:07, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Doctor has been characterised as a Messianic figure lots of time, it's not notable enough for an entire article, at best it should be merged into Faction Paradox, Angel uses unreliable sources, should be redirected/merged, and same for the other two; keep Unnatural.

Comment: Articles about 5 books from the same series have been nominated together, so, yes, apologies, the discussion has become complicated. To attempt to summarise my position... if any of these are deleted, a redirect should be left to the book series, Eighth Doctor Adventures.
The Taking of Planet 5: I've not touched this. I propose Keep, but the article definitely needs work.
The Blue Angel (novel): I have expanded this since nomination. I propose Keep. If not, then there is content to be Merged into the Paul Magrs (the author) article.
Unnatural History (novel): I have expanded this since nomination. The proposer has changed their view to keep, so I think that counts as the AfD being withdrawn.
The review notes: "The Adventuress of Henrietta Street by Lawrence Miles is mostly set in London in 1782, and sees the Eighth Doctor Who running a brothel. It is a long novel and it is written in the style of a history text- book. It is demanding, and rewarding for the most part. The historical insights are utterly fascinating, and some of the fantastic imagery is very powerful indeed. However, there were many occasions when I found myself wishing I was reading a “pure” history book by, say, Dr David Starkey and/or a straightforward adventure story with minimal exposition."
The article notes: "A new arc begins with The Adventuress of Henrietta Street, another Lawrence Miles novel, which introduces ongoing villain Sabbath, a human time traveller who thinks that the Doctor and his people are responsible for the worsening problems with Time. It also has the Doctor binding himself to the fate of Earth, tearing out his diseased second heart in a symbolic gesture that makes him more human than ever before. Sabbath subsequently crops up in many of the EDAS, seeking to impose his own laws on Time, and being continually frustrated by the Doctor."
The book notes: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street -> At the limit of human consciousness was the "horizon", and beyond that was the Kingdom of the Beasts and the babe- wyns, bestial ape creatures. The destruction of Gallifrey destabilised time, allowing the babewyns to escape to Earth at the point when humans were beginning to con- ceive of time as a dimension. The eighth Doctor arrived in this era, suffering physical symptoms as a result of his being linked to his homeworld, which no longer existed. He allied himself with a brothel owner and ritualist, Scarlette. Together, they agreed that the Doctor should marry Juliette, a young woman working in the brothel, as this would link him to Earth and allow him to serve as its protector."
The book notes: "The Shadows of Avalon -> President Romana now put the survival of the Time Lords over more ethical considerations. While she was concerned with the dispute with the People of the Worldsphere, Romana was aware that the War with the unknown Enemy would soon be upon Gallifrey. Learning that the eighth Doctor's companion, Compassion, was mutating into a TARDIS thanks to her contact with future technology, Romana sent Interventionist agents Cavis and Gandar to capture her. Romana planned to force Compassion to breed with other TARDISes. Compassion made her transformation into a TARDIS, but the Doctor rescued her and they fled the Time Lord authorities."
The book notes: "The Taking of Planet 5 -> A Celestis outcast became concerned that the Celestis base of Mictlan might attract the Swimmers—beings large enough to crush the universe. The outcast hoped to destroy Mictlan before this occurred. Using a Fictional Generator, the outcast brought the Elder Things from HP Lovecraft's work to life in Antarctica. This attracted Time Lord shock troops from the future, who slaughtered the Elder Things and subsequently readied a fleet of War-TARDISes. They intended to break the time-loop around Planet Five, hoping to use the Fendahl trapped within against the Time Lords' future Enemy."
The book notes: "Unnatural History > A dimensional scar, the after-effect of the singularity that befell Earth on New Years Eve, 2000, appeared in San Francisco. The eighth Doctor investigated the anomaly, but his companion Samantha Jones was lost to it. He sought out Sam's original self, a dark-haired drug user, to assist. The Doctor also recruited Professor Joyce, a resident of Berkeley, to craft a dimensional stabilizer."
While these are good sources to make additions to the articles, I don't think they are independent enough to grant notability; one can always find mention of any DW media in DWM given that it is the official magazine (and BBC is ofcourse involved, might count as advertising), and AHistory mentions every DW story- does not make it anymore notable than as a part of the Faction Paradox or EDAs. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 16:00, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that DWM has some independence issues. I note that Ahistory is an unauthorised (i.e. independent of the BBC) book about Dr Who and related fiction by an unrelated publisher. It is, thus, independent of the makers of Dr Who or the publisher of these books. Interzone is also an independent source. Bondegezou (talk) 21:22, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If the consensus is to merge, it should be merged to Bernice Summerfield; one of its sections deal with the VNAs that she is the primary character in, and even the Bernice Summerfield section at VNA's article links there. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 11:50, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
The review notes: "There is nothing challenging about this book. It is a Ten-Little-Indians archaeological romp with a certain amount of self-doubt and self-pity for Benny. People do heroic things and people die horribly, and the serial killer and the truth are duly revealed, and Benny doesn’t stuff up quite as badly as she thought. I enjoyed this book simply as an undemanding romp; I didn’t like The Mary-Sue Extrusion for its involuted knowingness, although I am sure there are people who would admire the skill with which it is carried off; and I enjoyed Dead Romance a lot because it made me reconsider solipsism all over again. If there is one thing I do like, it is variety in my diet, and those people at Virgin Books certainly seem to be supplying that."
I found one review that provides significant coverage about the book. If a second review that provides significant coverage about the book can be found, this article can be kept. If a second review cannot be found, I support a merge to Virgin New Adventures.

Editors tend to believe that AFC is fabricated with accepting special drafts and abandoning others. Very funny. I don't see how this drat, now an article, meets WP:GNG. Owing a non notable company doesn't show notability in any way. The article is very promotional, and doesn't appear to be notable in the future (eye sighted observation). A community consensus would clearly address its problem. Safari ScribeEdits!Talk!06:37, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, though firstly to nom, you didn't have to accept the draft if you thought it non-notable, even though it had waited a while (the fact it had waited suggests others felt the same). That aside, reviewing a number of refs doesn't sway me away from concurring with the nom statement. The entire "early life" section is cited to a google drive(!), and the apparent relevant file doesn't give me confidence in its integrity. The second paragraph isn't even about the subject, less the last paragraph, which tries to imply notability because he "built a big house".

From the sources provided by the article and my own research, I have come to the conclusion that Florida Carry as an organization has not received significant media coverage as per WP:SIRS' notability criteria. The articles cited mention Florida Carry only in passing or in one sentence, and do not maintain the focus upon the organization for the source to be considered significant. However, while I was looking over the references cited, I noticed that Florida Carry apparently authored House Bill 463, which was passed in 2012. The article in question: [33], and the bill in question: [34].
If better coverage can be found of Florida Carry as an organization or its actions, then there would be a stronger case for cleaning up the article instead of deleting it. Sirocco745 (talk) 05:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree - Most references to the organization are minor, and the majority of the sources are merely links to the bills that they supported. Their actions are also somewhat irrelevant considering the activities of larger organizations that likely made a much larger impact on the bills in question.

Keep Subject was part of an important lawsuit dealing with libel and people who were once famous but later in life were not. Significant coverage of Wood was found so her notability is not WP:INHERITED from Elvis. Added sources including newspaper articles, books, and law journals. Dr vulpes(Talk)13:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not significant coverage, and Anita Wood was never famous. Practically everyone in the Elvis world was involved in some lawsuit at one point or another; the one you cite is no more important than this lawsuit involving Elvis' fiancée Ginger Alden. Ginger Alden had much greater media visibility than Anita Wood, appeared on countless magazine covers and even published a memoir, yet Alden's Wiki page was deleted because she too does not meet the criteria. The only reason Anita Wood's Wiki page hasn't been deleted is because hardly anybody knows it exists. How do you justify deleting the Alden page but not this one? It's a double standard. Strangerthings7112 (talk) 22:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The only references on Anita Wood are just mere mentions about her being Elvis' nonexclusive off-and-on girlfriend but you can't make an article out of that. So it fails WP:GNG. There is some coverage out there, but none of it is direct or significant. WP:GNG states "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" thus why she fails it. No notability except for casually dating a celebrity. And we all know that notability is inheritable per se. Elvis' fiancée Ginger Alden had far greater media visibility than Anita Wood and even published a memoir yet Alden's Wiki page was deleted because she too does not meet the criteria. The only reason Anita Wood's Wiki page hasn't been deleted is because hardly anybody knows it exists. For those of you who oppose this deletion, how do you justify deleting the Alden page but not this one?

There's an entire book about her that covers her relationship with Elvis but also the rest of her career and life.
Two of those links copy the verbiage straight off Wikipedia (i.e. WP:MIRROR). I see nothing in WorldCat or the LoC about "her music" (the only music she did was uncredited backing vocals); her sole reason for inclusion seems to be her daughter's book. Ginger Alden also has an entry in the Library of Congress and WorldCat so again, these do not demonstrate notability. And as I've pointed out, practically everyone in the Elvis world, including Ginger Alden, was involved in some lawsuit at one point or another. Who's to say that Anita Wood's lawsuit is more "important"? Nothing you've provided constitutes WP:SIGCOV. The book you cite, written by her daughter, was published by a small local independent publisher in Mississippi whose only noticeable publication seems to be said book (whereas Ginger Alden's book was published by Ace Books, a major house in NYC). Since Ginger Alden's page warranted deletion, Anita Wood's most certainly warrants deletion too. Strangerthings7112 (talk) 23:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah the Elvis in Australia page has copied some material from Wikipedia, but it's the rest of the interview that follows which is what the source is being used for. The other one is her obituary so and I'm not seeing anything copied over. Unless I'm missing something. Dr vulpes(Talk)02:50, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You might note that Anita's hometown newspaper is the only outlet to report her passing. Had she met notability criteria the news would've been picked up by wire services. Strangerthings7112 (talk) 03:27, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Dr vulpes: Strangerthings7112's point immediately above actually may have some merit. If her obituary was only published in one local paper, there's a reasonable chance it was paid for by the family, which would disqualify that source from counting towards notability. WP:OBITUARIES may shed some light on this and other related issues. Left guide (talk) 05:44, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Left guide I only put the court case in the AfD to help anyone looking at the law journals since it uses her married name Brewer instead of Wood. Personally I get kind of annoyed when reading law journals because the text is super tiny and sometimes OCR won't catch the case names correctly. Dr vulpes(Talk)03:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, that entire book about her that covers her relationship with Elvis but also the rest of her career and life (link) was authored by the article subject's daughter, so clearly a WP:COISOURCE, not independent. Left guide (talk) 01:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:@Strangerthings7112: If you want to gain traction in persuading the community to delete this article, at a minimum you're going to have to cut out the "Alden" arguments per WP:OTHER. It's not relevant here; each article must stand or fall on its own merits. Also, as a side note, please refrain from posting comments to the AfD log page; I've had to clean up after you a few times. Instead, keep all of your commentary on this page, thanks. Left guide (talk) 00:21, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:@Left guide: It's not really a matter of WP:OTHER when one takes into account the fact that the Wikipedia entries for Anita and Ginger came into existence for exactly the same reason: that they dated Elvis. Unlike Linda for instance, neither woman has any notability outside their connection to him. And Ginger was unquestionably more significant in terms of coverage. So if Ginger's page got deleted, the standard should be upheld. Anita's page simply failed to get noticed when similar pages were being scrubbed. It has to be pointed out that Marco Garibaldi, June Juanico and Danny Keough all formerly had Wiki entries as well. And all were deleted on the same grounds: no notability outside their connection to Elvis. So to argue that this page should be kept is like saying Mary-Kate Olsen deserves a Wiki entry but Ashley Olsen doesn't. Strangerthings7112 (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strangerthings7112, you have been advised already to stop bringing up Ginger Alden's article in this discussion and now I'm saying it a second time. The fact that this article was deleted has no effect on whether or not the article on Anita Wood is kept or deleted which will rest on its own merits. We don't compare articles in AFDs and there is no official precedence. Please critique the sources and not the subject and do not BLUDGEON the discussion and comment on every argument you disagree with. You nominated the article, have put forth your point of view and now it's time to hear from other editors. Repeating your view over and over again will not convince anyone to agree with you, it will just irritate people. Thank you. LizRead!Talk!04:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Strangerthings7112: If you're really this motivated to delete the article, all of that energy might be better channeled into creating a source assessment table (or simply a bulleted list summarizing your view of each source if you're unable to work through the table coding). I for one, am curious to see a thorough analysis of all of the sources, and might be persuaded to !vote delete (I only nominated this as a clerical courtesy and haven't yet taken an official stance on the subject's notability), because from a cursory glance I've seen at least three or four sources that are disqualified from notability for various reasons, and ref-bombing is a very real possibility since there haven't yet been quotes of the source material provided by the keep !voters. Left guide (talk) 05:20, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Just added and sourced a little of her background before she met Elvis. I have also added information from the Texas State Archives. Texas-based disc jockey and news media reporter Eddie Fadal first met Elvis, when Elvis had his basic Army training at Fort Hood (renamed Fort Cavazos) in Waco, Texas. He is well known for his close friendship with Elvis. According to Eddie, everyone believed Elvis and Anita would marry, and were really surprised when Elvis married someone else. There are images in many Elvis bios, where Elvis and Anita were spending time in Eddie's house. Graceland has often hired Eddie for fan gatherings at Graceland. — Maile (talk) 02:15, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So what? It doesn't constitute notability. There is no reason for Anita to have a Wikipedia page. If she has one then Ginger Alden's deleted page should be restored. For that matter, Danny Keough and Marco Garibaldi's deleted pages should be restored. Then what....a Wikipedia page for Currie Grant? The Stanley brothers? Cliff Gleaves? Strangerthings7112 (talk) 03:11, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - To answer the question about Ginger Alden, I looked at the article at the time that it was nominated for deletion in 2014, and the article at the time that I !voted to Delete or Redirect. I said in 2014 that the article was poorly sourced and did not establish general notability. It had no sources at the time it was nominated, and four unreliable sources that had been added in the next days when I !voted on it. This article has 18 sources, and I see that some of them are reliable. So any comparison between this article on Elvis Presley's first documented girlfriend and the cutdown article on Elvis Presley's last girlfriend is questionable, comparing a crab apple and a Red Delicious apple. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it looks like Dr vulpes has restored the Ginger Alden article. I'm not sure how that will influence this discussion since the nominator's argument rests on the fact that the Alden article was redirected (not deleted). LizRead!Talk!07:23, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (moved from leaning), I agree entirely with the nom statement that the scope of "list of chromebooks" is so broad and ever increasing, that it's simply not feasible to maintain the article as an up to date list which is all-encompassing. Even as a means of supporting a purchase for interested readers, the older devices become insignificant with the passage of time, except if becoming historically notable. Unless others counter with a sound retention rationale, i'm edging towards delete, as to rewrite into something different would probably be a WP:TNT job anyway.

Both English and Dutch Google for news stories on the club. If you have other sources, please update the article.

Keep as passing NORG. This club exists since 1902 and has recently surged. Hence the SIGCOV is largely from the 21st century. Unfortunately, much of it behind paywalls. A lot has been written on the club also before and a good article can be written. I have expanded the article to reflect its 122 years of existence and added and removed references.

I was reassessing the sources and realized that the current page is a structured like a modified version of one of the sources (The thesis by Bergström, Emma; Garcia Martinez, Melanie (2016), cited 19 times). While I don't think the similarity is close enough to be a copyright violation, it is kinda sorta plagiarism? Quite a few of the sources seem more like someone picking sources that kinda look right from a google search, and don't support the text.

The result was keep. Noting the nomination was also withdrawn, but we're at time and consensus is clear so closing it this way to reflect that. StarMississippi02:24, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a disambiguator in the absence of a clear primary topic, with a preference toMerge both LGBT history in Georgia and LGBT rights in Georgia into LGBT in Georgia, making the latter the host DAB instead of a redirect to just one of them. I agree with other !votes that each should be kept as a form of disambiguation as there is no a clear primary topic between the two, however I don't see why we can't redirect this to a more general article title which broadly covers the history and rights articles together. Bungle(talk • contribs)09:46, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the avoidance of doubt, I have clarified my position that I concur with retaining as disambiguator without a clear primary topic, but with a preference to see it merged into a wider article title. @MikutoH: The consensus is fairly clear against a redirect as proposed, and you may wish to withdraw in the absence of any contrary expression. Bungle(talk • contribs)17:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw. I was going to do this right after I proposed as I wanted to merge, but as suggested above, a merge proposal is necessary and I will rquest when closing this. --MikutoHtalk!01:06, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per WP:NOPRIMARYas above. The merge between two pages not under discussion in this AfD may well be a good idea, but (a) I don't see why they should then assume the status of primary topic over an eponymous country, so the merged title should remain LGBT history in Georgia (U.S. state), (b) neither of the pages for merge are the subject of this AfD so it should be done as a merge discussion, (c) that merge would, in any case need to precede a following RM discussion, and page moves are not AfD outcomes. So all of that can be pursued separately. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:01, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fairly sure a merge suggestion can form part of a discussion in an AfD, especially as renaming of pages is not actually a necessity to achieve that proposal. I also have no clue what you mean by point "a", perhaps there is a weak explanation on my part. Either way, I was clear that I agreed with the "keep" !votes in keeping the page as a means of disambiguating between two articles without a primary, but as the nom specifically mentioned the LGBT in Georgia (rights) article, I figured i'd offer a view on that too.
A merge is a valid outcome for a page nominated at AfD. It is inappropriate for a page that has not been nominated as watchers of the pages you propose merging will not be notified of the discussion, and will not necessarily have participated. That merge discussion needs to be pursued separately. Since you have modified your !vote, this is, in any case, now moot. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:12, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Preference is keep the status quo of two dabs per WP:NOPRIMARY. Merging the two into a single DAB would be acceptable as the line between the two is a bit fuzzy although I think in general we maintain both articles for many localities so having to is fine. Strongly oppose any sort of removing the dabs and replacing with a redirect to one with just a hatnote. That's been discussed many, many as a general concept between the two Georgias and the current consensus is clearly no primary so TWODABS suggests having a disambiguation page (see all the RMs in Talk:Georgia (country) for example).

Delete per nomination, I could find no significant coverage in RS, English or Armenian, to meet WP:GNG, as outlined in the essay WP:NTV. I sympathise with the article creator's long-term aim to get more Armenian coverage into English Wikipedia, but they keep adding non-notable television shows. There are so many notable Armenian topics missing, which would be warmly welcome. If kept, the title should be changed to Our Alphabet: no disambiguation is needed.

Political party that existed for less than a year and advocated for a single issue. Only limited coverage, and it all appears to be from 2008, except for a single article about "the stranger parties of NZ's past and present" from 2018. This seems similar to how political candidates may receive limited coverage during an elecetion but are not considered notable. The article creator has reverted an attempt to redirect this page to Whenuapai#Reverting to Military Aerodrome and recent developments. – notwally (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of political parties. I feel the inclusion anywhere else would be undue given how little there is about it. Whilst the Whenuapai air base has been a recurring topic in NZ politics, this party had no impact on it and there is an IP edit that suggests the founder of the party (and it's only member) doesn't want to be associated with it anymore. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NCAaWAP seems notable enough for a list of unsuccessful parties, particularly since they've been outrageously successful in preventing that airport being built!

The article is jocular about it. The party itself really had no impact.

Does it really matter if it's a non-registered party? Sure, there's this which says that at the time it was an unregistered party name. But we have the NZ Herald saying it's a party[35] and this from the government registering the logo[36]. In my view, the name is verifiable and that should be the end of it.

It is when one of the other voting suggestions is “redirect to a list of parties” - there is an actual process to forming a political party in NZ, with steps and criteria to follow, none of which he managed to achieve. It’s like calling a lemonade stand your kids make a “company” because they drew a logo on the front - unless they legally incorporate, not a company. Don’t register as a party, not a party. Not a party, can’t be listed on a list of parties. Absurdum4242 (talk) 17:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the information that this organization appears to be a single person who never registered it as a political party, if the organization is not notable, then I do not think the redirects to "Single-issue politics" or "List of political parties in New Zealand" would be appropriate. While the redirect I suggested to Whenuapai may be acceptable as there are a few mentions in newspapers, given the discussion since I filed this AfD, that is probably excessive as well. I now think simply deleting is the most appropriate. – notwally (talk) 17:55, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That source says nothing about registration of the party. It says "The Commission approved an application to register a logo for No Commercial Airport at Whenuapai Airbase Party". If the party had registered, it would presumably say "The Commission registered the [party name] and its logo". Also, the NZ Herald does not call actually call it a party either (outside of the WP:HEADLINE); the article says that the person "says he will form the party". Do you know of any sources saying that he did so? – notwally (talk) 23:16, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
