Article about semi-pro footballer which contains an unverified claim of 1 full international appearance. The only match report I was able to find for that international match indicates Gharibian didn't participate. Even if he did participate, it is hardly a sufficient achievement to confer notability (one very low-profile friendly) especially when I cannot locate any online sources that indicate he is the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources (instead, a handful of match reports and a single interview published by his former club).

- It was a magazine published between 1877 to 1929, so almost inevitably internet sources are rather thin, but Christie's recently described it as "historically important"[1], and it is mentioned in this book as "the devoted organ of the sport"[2] Other sources comment on its longevity and importance at the time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.198.171 (talk) 22:25, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep I can see no reason why this should be deleted. The periodical certainly existed as referenced. arguments based on notability are entirely subjective. A periodical lasting that long is certainly worthy of inclusion into this encyclopedia.Egaoblai (talk) 10:50, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete it existed for 50 years is not enough. No evidence of significant coverage in independent reliable sources as required by WP:GNG. And the above argument that "notability is entirely subjective" is wrong, we have clear objective guidelines for notability at WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:04, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep There's a WP:CSB problem for pre-internet notability, in that the necessary sources to demonstrate notability are tucked away in archives of dead trees, so I cut them a bit more slack than some detail of David Beckham's life that is recorded to the nth degree. But I'd suggest that the fact that an Australian newspaper reported the death of someone whose only notability was editing this publication suggests that the publication itself had an international reputation at the time. I know that snippet doesn't prove notability in itself, but it gives me confidence that you would find evidence of notability if you delved into the archives. So I'd give it the benefit of the doubt.Le Deluge (talk) 15:05, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

We have a strange situation on Wikipedia that will take a lot of untangling to resolve, but the fact that a 50 year magazine can even be considered for deletion is utterly bizarre and reflects a ongoing situation that GNG is not fit for purpose anymore. What was once a guide to prevent spammy articles is now a blunt tool used to delete information about really existing thingsa that were notable to many people.Egaoblai (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

WP:GNG. Article is well sourced and subject is indeed notable according to general notability guideline.

- WP:WAX is not a legitimate argument for notability. The subject must be notable of her own accord. While the web is certainly flooded with her pictures, with blogs, Twitter ephemera, etc., it is difficult to conclude that this person has been noted by independent, reliable sources. Agricola44 (talk) 14:48, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Fair point on WP:WAX. However, doesn't change the fact that person is still of note in the blogger/body positive/fashion sphere, which is backed up by the 18 references cited in the article, including ABC News, TODAY Show, People Magazine, and E! News. How are these noted publications not strong enough as independent and reliable sources? The subject may not have Kardashian-level notability by any means, but to deny subject's visibility and notability for a Wiki article doesn't seem warranted. Tripp is clearly an established social media figure with enough note to warrant an article. SantiagoPierre (talk) 18:33, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete.We are not talking about whether she ought to be notable, but whether she is suitable for coverage in a WP article by our guidelines. The references are insufficiently reliable to show that. DGG ( talk ) 00:17, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Completely unreferenced article about a YA novel, consisting exclusively of a plot summary and making no actual claim of notability per WP:NBOOK. As always, every book is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- it needs to have an actual notability claim, and reliable source coverage about it.

- Borderline case. The 5, regionally-elected county supervisors are the executive authority for Monterey County, which with a pop. ~ 450,000 is sort of like a city council in a mid-size city without a Mayor. Most Monterey country supervisors are not bluelinked. One area where he may be notable is in his land use regulation and park-creating efforts in Monterey County - one of the most treasured scenic regions in the U.S. (Big Sur). Claims that he took a leading role in creating parks for local use, County's first park, and the county Parks Department appear to be valid.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:14, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- The operative issue is the 250,000 population of Monterey County at the time, not its present population.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Population understates the importance of Monterey County; it is important for its rugged coastline and campgrounds/beaches/parks and more, is known by many millions who have driven California Route 1(?) in order to see the scenery. Carmel is a rich, expensive place which must spill out; the development pressures must be huge. What goes on in Monterey is more newsworthy than elsewhere. A pioneering preservationist and county supervisor there is simply a lot more important than they would be somewhere else. --doncram 21:36, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- The operative issue is the 250,000 population of Monterey County at the time, not its present population.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:49, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. County supervisor is not a level of office that constitutes an automatic WP:NPOL pass in and of itself — it's a level of office where an article might be acceptable if it could be sourced well enough to get him past WP:GNG, but it's not a role that entitles him to an article just because he existed. Of the 39 sources cited here, however, close to half are primary sources (reports and meeting minutes from the county's own internal records, raw tables of election results, etc.) that cannot assist notability — and of the ones that represent reliable source coverage in media, even a large proportion of those are glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage that isn't about him, or even entirely tangential to him (frex, reference #30 links to an article which verifies stuff about the Humble Oil refinery fight but completely fails to even mention Warren Church's name in conjunction with it.) All of which leaves us with very few sources that are both reliable and substantively about Warren Church — and every last one of those few sources represents the purely routine level of purely local coverage that would simply be expected to exist for any county councillor. So the sourcing shown here does not constitute evidence that he belongs in an international encyclopedia. Bearcat (talk) 15:34, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete a non-notable county level politician.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Warren Church received significant independent coverage in multiple, reliable secondary sources. I have reviewed the notability guide and can find no mention that he needs “non-local coverage” I could not find any mention of a requirement that the sources be geographically distant from one another. I have been asking around to other editors, and no one has heard of that requirement. Only the guidelines on WP:GNG.
- Articles do not need to be about the subject, “Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.” WP:SIGCOV. As Warren Church received his notability pre-Internet, all the sources are newspaper articles. I have reviewed many and they pass the “more than a trivial mention” requirement. Bearcat, you say that half of the 39 sources are to reports and meeting minutes, which is what I had to use to prove elements of the article, mainly the Committees area. They were not used to prove notability which is what is being challenged in this AfD. Citation #30 is the only online article that exists on Humble Oil. I used it as an element of the Humble Oil section, it was not used to prove notability.
- Notability is not temporary WP: NTEMP. His contributions were decades ago, prior to the Internet’s existence. The sources I have used prove that during the years he was active he was notable.
- Warren Church is an important part of local land use history in Monterey County. Multiple notable sources have acknowledged him as the father of the Monterey County parks system. These sources state this in different publications, and over many years. Warren Church has coverage for a significant period of time, starting at the beginning of his political career, through his 12 years as a supervisor; “sustained coverage is an indicator of notability.” WP:SUSTAINED.1stCoastal (talk) 06:19, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- For starters, you say that you had to use reports and meeting minutes to prove elements of the article — but if you had to source things that way because there was no media coverage for them, then by definition those things aren't notable enough to be addressed in the article at all. If the media didn't care enough to report those things, then neither do we.
- Secondly, "an important part of local land use history in Monterey County" is not a notability criterion. To get a person into Wikipedia on a claim like that, the coverage of the claim would have to nationalize into sources on the order of The New York Times or The Washington Post, and purely local coverage in Monterey County's own local media wouldn't cut it. Yes, we most certainly do require the coverage to go beyond the purely local in many cases — for instance, we don't keep smalltown municipal councillors just because local sourcing exists; we don't keep county supervisors just because local sourcing exists; we don't keep standalone non-chain restaurants or retail stores or other small businesses just because local sourcing exists; and on and so forth.
- The simple reality is that every town or city or county that has a public parks system will always have its own local person who can be described and locally sourced as the "father" or "mother" of the system (as well as its own "father" or "mother" of the library system, and on and so forth) — so what's needed is not just local verification that he did the same things as every other "parent" of a local parks system, but evidence that he's somehow a special case over and above most of the others. What's needed isn't a reason why readers in Monterey County might be interested, but evidence that readers on the other side of the world need to care more about the father of Monterey County's park system than they do about the founder of their own local park system who doesn't have an article. Bearcat (talk) 18:43, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Warren Church is not notable for being the occupant of an office that "came with a typewriter and $300 a month for incidentals" but rather for someone who, if chosen as the topic for a mid-semester "someone who could serve as a role model for public service" report by a 7th grader, Wikipedia could be a proper and valuable source. Also, Warren Church's "'12 years is as long as anyone should consecutively hold any one elective or appointive position... New ideas are necessary..." is quoteworthy, especially because "he did not miss a single board meeting... 558 consecutive regular board meetings and 100 or more special meetings." Trink24 (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- I withdraw my "keep." From his Obituary, he's not such a role model for a 7th grader:
- "Mr. Church ended his own life on Saturday at the age of 87 under the state’s relatively new End of Life Option Act after years of failing health and no hope of recovery"

- Keep. The Monterey Herald obituary which someone added to the article is substantial. It is fairly natural and common that articles get created about notable persons when they are dying or have just died, when the absence of an article is pretty salient. Some editing down of the article to report on his life in a more summary fashion would be appropriate. --doncram 21:27, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- An obituary in the local newspaper is routine, not notability-establishing, coverage, because it would simply be expected to exist. Get back to us when he's obituaried in The New York Times, not just the Monterey Herald. Bearcat (talk) 21:33, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- Well, most deceased persons don't get any obituary written by a newspaper as a news obituary (as opposed to family-written paid obituaries, or no obituary at all), which this appears to be. I am not saying everyone getting such an obituary is Wikipedia-notable, but IMO this one's content is substantial. You have made it clear you think otherwise, we can just agree to disagree. --doncram 23:21, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- Sure, not every deceased person has their death automatically treated as news. But every deceased person who held a role that made them locally prominent — every mayor, every city councillor, every county councillor, every school board trustee, etc. — most certainly does get obituaried in the local newspaper. Bearcat (talk) 15:41, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment This source "25 who got us here" of 2013 in "Monterey County Now" provides profiles for 3 then-current Monterey County Supervisors: Lou Calcagno, Jane Parker, and Simon Salinas who probably deserve articles. It doesn't speak to Warren Church's notability directly, but I think that more coverage of these supervisors is warranted. --doncram 23:21, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Spam created by an account that appears to be the owner. Barely escapes the G11 threshold in my opinion, so I'm bringing it here for discussion. In short, this article is excluded from Wikipedia on two grounds: all the coverage is either not in-depth or is promotional, so it fails to establish notability per WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SPIP. The other is that it is spam created with the sole intent of promoting the enterprise, making it excluded from Wikipedia by WP:NOTSPAM, and failing the second prong of WP:N.

WP:BLP of a single-market radio personality and newspaper columnist, not referenced to any reliable source coverage about her: four of the five references here are her primary source profiles on the websites of her own employers and GoodReads, and the fifth is a blog post which verifies the existence of an anthology that she contributed to but fails to even mention her name at all in conjunction with it.

WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES does not apply since this is not an "independently accredited degree-awarding institution", it is a non independent constituent center of Central University of Jharkhand. As such, notability must be established like any other organization. Note that the center isn't even independent enough to have their own website, nor even a section on the parent institute website.

Utterly un-notable individual, doing something utterly unremarkable about which the local sports body are not sure is even unique SchroCat (talk) 13:58, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- As one editor thinks "utterly non-notable" is not a reason to delete (nonsense, of course it's a good reason to delete, and quoting an essay at me is not likely to engender much reasoned comment), we'll go for WP:DEL8 about a pointless waste of time and effort in trying to crowbar in unencyclopaedic crap into what is supposed to be an encyclopaedia. You could also go with WP is not a collection of random factoids, add that trivial rubbish shouldn't be our aim. As for the "local sports body", in case you didn't quite understand the reference, it concerns the Florida High School Athletic Association who are not sure that the single minor record this individual has broken, has in fact been broken, just that it "could be", which is soooo unencyclopaedic it makes by brain ache... - SchroCat (talk) 15:06, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep "utterly non-notable" is not a reason to delete per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Subject passes WP:GNG through significant national coverage in ABC News, Miami Herald, New York Post... it's not in the article as a source, but even Business Insider picked up the story as well as the New England Sports Network.

- Comment on Deletion 8 -- Deletion rule 8 in Deletion Policy states "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)." The subject in question clearly passes WP:GNG with the requirement "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." The subject has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and therefore passes the notability standards previously established.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:50, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- The inability of journalists to check facts or check information one of the more depressing facts of modern society (and one reason we have WP:NOTNEWS). The local sports bodybhave said it cannot be verified and have onlynsaid this rather dubious factoid "could be" true, but cannot verify it. The lazy-arsed journos who have parsednthis as "she was the first" shouldn't be holding down a job, but that is no reason for what purports to be a proper encyclopaedia to repeat second-rate nonsense under the guise that it is "encyclopaedic": that is fluff and chaff for the second-rate only. - SchroCat (talk) 18:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- That may be true I suppose--and the article mentions that. Even if it is, the subject still has received significant coverage. That's the measure of WP:GNG. Even if the source articles are incorrect, the coverage is still there. That's significant.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:11, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment on "random factoids" -- The link in the "Random Factoids" argument directs to Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This argument does not apply because 1: the article in question is not an indiscriminate list but is very WP:DISCRIMINATE in its content; and 2: the article is not summary-only descriptions of works, lyrics databases, excessive listings of unexplained statistics, nor exhaustive logs of software updates. Any data in the article is "put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources" as the policy calls for.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:56, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

- Comment on "trivial rubbish" -- The link for the "trivial rubbish" argument links to "Why we have these requirements" section in the Notability guideline, and every point in that section has been met or exceeded.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:59, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- Nope. It's trivial bollocks that should be nowhere near the project. This is an encyclopaedia, not the "And finally" snippet of the sports pages. - SchroCat (talk) 18:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- I disagree that it's an "and finally" article simply because of the widespread coverage. "And finally" articles are typically one or two articles, not significant major stories covered by multiple writers and published in multiple national publications.--~~

- I agree that the subject has not met the "prolonged" threshold. The question is, which measure is best: WP:GNG or WP:NHSPHSATH? Both are worthy to be considered. The first question that comes to mind is this: is NHSPHSATH inclusive or exclusive for high school athletes? In other words, if the subject does meet GNG and not NHSPHSATH, is the article considered notable or not? That's a bit of philosophy...--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:48, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

- Lazy journalism of mis-reporting circumastances and a self-fulfilling prophecy. I feel we are very much in barrel-scrapping mode when it comes to this article.
- The only item that seems to be mis-reported is that the Florida high school association cannot confirm that she is the first female to throw a touchdown pass, but believes it is true. That is reflected in the article and in many of the online sources. The rest of the story--the success of the play, the drive to learn the position, the role in the team, the coaching, the game--all of that is confirmed and is covered extensively through reliable third party sources. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a reason to delete an article. The statement "I feel we are very much in barrel-scrapping mode" is just a subjective opinion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Do not misrepresent my views by saying the basis of my delete argument is IDONTLIKEIT, it is completely untrue and extremely uncivil. To rectify other untruths: the people who should know the details (the Florida school board) cannot confirm she is definitely the first; and, no, the media sources do not reflect that, they are stating as fact that she is first (and lazy journalism is the very worst basis for lazy encyclopaedia writing). Yes, I agree that the rest of the game is covered in the press, but this article isn't about the game, it's about one person who many not be the first person to have done one thing. Such triviaial "notability", particularly from a school attendee is not encyclopaedic, it's barrel-scappingly awful. - SchroCat (talk) 06:27, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- The statement "I feel we are very much in barrel-scrapping mode when it comes to this article" is a clear indication of a personal point of view, and such personal points of view should be avoided. I do apologize for any lack of civility that you feel as it certainly is not intentional.--Paul McDonald (talk) 00:05, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Of course it is a personal opinion, but that is entirely different for claiming my argument for deletion is based on IDONTLIKEIT. It's also not correct to say that opinions should be avoided; AfD is all about the opinion of where articles fail to meet the required standards for inclusion for an encyclopaedia, rather than a high school yearbook. - SchroCat (talk) 05:44, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Please read the essay Wikipedia:Notability is not a matter of opinion. The point there is that notability arguments should be based on structured positions. Certainly people can have opposing views of interpretation, but there's no need for "bashing" the article content.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:23, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Please read what I have written. Trying to match facts against policies will always be a matter of opinion in judging the weight of what is available against our policies. if it wasn't, then processes like AfD would be bot-driven.

- Again, this has sweet FA to do with the AfD, so it isn't the place to raise it, but as you have done so, I'll have to answer it here. The comment is not an "AFD-type comment": it highlights how poor the text is. That sentence text ("
Several independent news sources state that indeed she was the first, including the Pensacola News Journal,[6] the Miami Herald,[4] Business Insider,[7] and USA Today.[8]
") has obviously been written with AfD in mind, and it's very poorly done. There is no need to list the publications involved at all - that's why we have inline citations or footnotes

- See Fanny Adams#Legacy.
If I edit it, I'll take out the sentence. It has no place in there. As you seem to be unable to keep talk page subjects out of the AfD, feel free to answer there, or edit the article yourself. If not, I'll take out the line.Scratch that - given your offer, I've edited the line, but I'll put a fat wedge of cash on a pointless revert. - SchroCat (talk) 18:40, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Please make another attempt. See WP:PRESERVE for ideas.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:05, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
- Another untruth? Provide a diff for where I have been "blanking the entire section" or strike yet another uncivil misrepresentation you have made (you are an admin: start behaving like one). You have, yet again utterly misrepresented me, and now you accuse me of being unproductive for removing second rate prose? And no, it doesn't interfere with the AfD process: those same links to WP:109PAPERS have been recorded in the history if people want to see them and the facts of the matter are as unchanged as they were before. - SchroCat (talk) 19:26, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

She's not the first female HS football player (which BTW would also be 1E), she's not the first female HS football player to actually play, she's not the first female HS football player to score.

- Paul McDonald, you may want to consider being done posting here, to avoid bludgeoning the process. "Bludgeoning the process is where someone attempts to force their point of view by the sheer volume of comments, such as contradicting every viewpoint that is different from their own. ... It is undesirable." WP:BLUDGEON is only an essay, but I think most people would agree the practice it outlines is undesirable. You have complained at ANI about SchroCat's use of rude expressions,[9] and you have a point, but overwhelming the discussion, with however civil wording, isn't polite either. Also, is it just me, or isn't it best practice to acknowledge being the creator of the article you're defending? Bishonen | talk 13:40, 12 September 2017 (UTC).
- And, Paul, to give my answer to your question, WP:BLP1E is about "Subjects notable only for one event" (my emphasis). In my view, those other mentions in high school sports sections of newspapers really don't do anything to establish notability beyond this one event (even if the one event was confirmed, which it isn't). And the question of whether notability is established beyond one event is decided by consensus via discussion - which is what we are doing here. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS. Not everything that goes viral has the lasting notability necessary to warrant a Wikipedia article. There is also a serious WP:UNDUE issue at Alex Shaffer (alpine skier) about the same issue now. Per WP:BLPCRIME, the name of the detective should not be in the article (never mind the first line).

" Well, it's already changed police policies. That, combined with the changes to hospital protocol, and the widespread media coverage, should make this incident pretty notable. FallingGravity 17:54, 6 September 2017 (UTC)- Really? A change to the local policy protocol (not national, not even statewide, but local) is making something notable?

*Delete - WP:NOTNEWS at its finest (or worst). As WP:RECENTISM points out, incidents like this seem more important than they truly are. Any argument that this "could be" notable is formed with a WP:CRYSTALBALL and does not display notability now.

- Yes, I am seriously comparing this to the King beating, which I distinctly remember as breaking news. The riots came much later, after the first criminal trial and acquittal. The ongoing criminal investigation of Detective Jeff Payne and others involved in the arrest of Nurse Wubbels is and will remain notable. I might add that The King beating, savage as it was, was not the first or worst case of police brutality caught on tape. Similarly, Nurse Wubbels is not the first nurse to be arrested for refusing a blood draw, neither is she the first to have her arrest videotaped. The impact of her arrest on public opinion is and will remain notable. // Internet Esquire (talk) 13:54, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:Notability (events): "
Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards.
" The incident has had a notable impact on the hospital, the SLCPD, Utah politics, and on those who protested it. This has gotten diverse coverage in both the national (too many to list here) and international press (Ireland [10], the UK [11][12], and Australia [13][14]). Other reliable sources have analyzed the incident from a legal standpoint (i.e. [15][16][17]), though I haven't included them yet out of BLP concerns. As for the concerns about BLPCRIME, I modeled the article after other articles about police brutality cases, so it isn't in any "crimes" categories like "Category:July 2017 crimes in the United States", so whether or not he did commit a crime is up to the reader to decide for now. FallingGravity 04:22, 7 September 2017 (UTC)- You cite "widespread (national or international) impact" and then go on to discuss local impact. That's why it isn't a notable event.

- Pikamander2 the policy change is a very localized event: read WP:GEOSCOPE. Media coverage and views? Try WP:NOTNEWS. It "may very well have effects elsewhere"; well maybe you should read WP:CRYSTALBALL before making such an assertion. Perhaps consider applying these policies and changing your vote.

- Keep: In my opinion, this does meet our standards for inclusion, especially now that the District Attorney has asked the FBI to investigate potential civil rights violations under the color of authority.[18] I would also note that when I see an AfD where every delete !vote goes unchallenged and every keep !vote immediately receives one or more critical comments in response, I begin to suspect WP:BLUDGEONING.

- Implied assumption: The administrators who evaluate AfDs are incapable of identifying poorly thought out statements unless you educate them. In my opinion, you should put your best argument in your !vote and not comment on others unless they actually make a factual error, as opposed to an argument that you disagree with. And that is the last thing I am going to write in this thread, so that I don't become part of the problem I am describing. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:10, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

- I think he's passes, but will go with whatever consensus determines. I think his being the Xcessive Force Fighting Champion qualifies him, as does the fact that he was added to the UFC cast, and the articles like this one by Gerbasi of UFC, and the interview by Fight Network, and USA Today Sports, the Fox Sports replay, the Journal de Montreal article, and the MMA Weekly article "Biggest Upset in TUF History Happened This Week", and numerous other articles in 3rd party RS (some in French and other languages). If he wasn't notable, we would not see headlines like the "Biggest Upset in TUF History" when he lost the UFC fight. Atsme📞📧 01:34, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
- UFC.com is not an independent source and the other sources you mention are passing mentions or routine sports reporting on his one TUF fight. In the past, appearing on TUF hasn't been considered enough to show a fighter was notable--even if he won a fight. I would consider redirecting this article to The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions. Ignoring the SPAs, I just don't think he merits an individual article at this time.

- Comment This discussion appears to be attracting new users who don't understand the notability criteria for MMA fighters. Simply being a pro MMA fighter (or any other athlete) is not sufficient to show notability. See WP:NMMA for the notability criteria for MMA fighters. They also don't realize that routine sports coverage does not make someone notable. Papaursa (talk) 02:06, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I did read and I do understand the notability aspect of the WP:NMMA Yes he doesn’t meet the criteria/characteristics but it should be used as a guideline. He is a ACB signed Athlete. I do understand that ACB is considered a second tier promoter but they have come a long way in the industry. I also understand that some uniformity is expected on the pages created. I do respect any outcome and decision that will be taken for his page. However, I do hope that members are willing to be innovative by keeping his page. juliering 12 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep In reference to other previous comments, I have reviewed the page from a professional standpoint. The page for Yoni Sherbatov is very well written and the facts being presented within it are well referenced also. WP:NMMA I do read and understand that he does not meet these certain requirements. He is a well known within the MMA and boxing community as a well respected fighter. I think that there should be a mid-level category for fighters that arent at the top elite status. As to appreciate all fighters at different points within their fighting status. I think many other people would benefit from these changes being made too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.37.187.94 (talk • contribs) 12 September 2017 (UTC)

- What you seem to be saying is that although he doesn't meet any WP notability criteria, he should have an encyclopedia article anyway. Being "mid-level" and "well respected" doesn't distinuguish him from millions of other people in other professions. It's true that if we ignore the notability criteria "many other people would benefit from these changes being made" (if your goal is to include as many people as possible), but that's not WP's goal.

Article is merely a list of web apps (with accompanying external links), not all of which have Wikipedia articles. Wikipedia is not a links directory. ... discospinster talk 13:13, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Although I created the article, the list of PWAs was not collected by myself but rather just taken from the article about PWAs itself, where it did not fit and was not formatted at all. There, the list was added by an anonymous user in June (see diff). I removed some links which were rather spam than informative and added the scores in the PWA audit of some of the websites. However, I totally see discospinster's point that the list is still rather a link directory at the moment. The optimal solution in my opinion would be to expand the article by adding all the specific web technologies used in each PWA as a separate column to have an overview what makes them special. This should be done by a web expert. The inferior alternative (again in my opinion) would be to reintegrate the list into the original article. To avoid the clutter like it has been before, the table should then be collapsed by default. In a nutshell, I am for Keeping the list - preferred as separate article but at least reintegrated into the original article again. Chstdu (talk) 14:04, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 15:30, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- If none of the entries are notable, why should we list them? Maybe there's an informational value there, I don't know, but there's also the option of just having RS-supported examples integrated into the prose of the parent article. postdlf (talk) 16:51, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Strong delete, firstly for WP:NOTLINKFARM, secondly because none of the list entries have articles therefore their notability is not established (and cannot be from this list article), thirdly using words "progressive" in the title of the list article without any clear list criteria would consititute as original research. Ajf773 (talk) 20:10, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
- Just some short comments/clarifications on your last two arguments: 2.

[[19]] --Kaettekita T. Lavhey (talk) 21:20, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not saying this PSA is a bad topic to have a Wikipedia article about, but on the other hand it hasn't been established as being a good topic to have an article about, either. The main issue we are dealing with is notability. As expressed in the general notability guideline, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." The Retrojunk page cited in the article is not from a particularly reliable source, as Retrojunk seems to accept articles from anybody, nor is it significant coverage since Retrojunk's item is only three sentences long. I found various references to this PSA on message boards and the like (see [20] and [21], for example), but those aren't reliable sources either. I enjoy reading TV Tropes, but as user-generated content, it's not considered a reliable source. Radio Landscape does not seem to be a famous remixer, or at least he doesn't have an article on Wikipedia yet, so he doesn't contribute much to notability. I actually did find a reliable source (the Chicago Tribune) that mentioned the PSA ([22]), but the Tribune article has less than one sentence about the PSA, so that's not significant coverage. So I think that if this PSA is to have a Wikipedia article, it will be necessary for someone to delve into whatever offline sources might exist and find much better sourcing in terms of significant coverage from reliable sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:22, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Reviewers for your constructive input and expertise in advising for Eric Grant’s article.
I have completely read over Notability in context as to how it applies to the overall article and its MMA category.
I also concur that not enough notability exists at this time whereby in due time through career advancement and recognition that notability will arrive naturally.
I appreciate the mention that the article was well written and sharing awareness of how to improve it.
The article will be submitted at a later date with updated notability associated to it once more prominence in Eric’s fighting career has evolved.

- Delete It is clear that the "Keep" !voters above are misinterpreting the guidelines for notability, especially WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. References derived from company PR, company announcements and normal business announcements do not meet the criteria for establishing notability since they are not "intellectually" independent. The quantity of sources only suggests a functional PR department. ViktoriaCerena suggests that "independent in-depth references from reliable sources" have been added but looking at the sources added, it is clear that while the sources may be independent, the articles are not since they rely almost exclusively on company material with no independent opinion or commentary. For example, this added references from privateequitywire is not independent as it is a joint announcement from the company and the law firm that advised them on an acquisition and fails ORGIND and/or CORPDEPTH. This reference from pehub.com is an interview with the company president, offers no independent commentary or opinion, and fails CORPDEPTH and/or ORGIND.

- Delete: The then-lack of an article on the Shoup Voting Machine Corporation seems to have influenced the 2012 Keep decision. The two sentences on the subject's 1979 conviction in the 1988 New Yorker article don't make clear the extent to which the company was implicated so I agree with Clarityfiend in that earlier AfD that merger may not be appropriate.

- Strong Keep and rename: Actually the single "Una Lady Como Tú" reached number 7 on the very important and majour Spanish Singles Chart known as PROMUSICAE. Here is the link for that very high position http://spanishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Manuel+Turizo&titel=Una+lady+como+t%FA&cat=s Another very notable fact that can be put forth is that the song has attracted as of today 308.5 million views and garnered 44 thousand comments. Hardly a non-notable artist! See the main video upload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYtJAuoZxcc But the article needs renaming as the artist uses Manuel Turizo and not Manuel Turizo Zapata as we have it, although the latter may be his birth name. The confusion comes because he uses also the acronym MTZ Z denoting Zapata. Manuel Turizo was featured on Valentino's single "Bésame". That music video has gained to date 50.2 million views and attracted around 4,900 comments, again a highly notable figure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whdnNvybrF4 . werldwayd (talk) 00:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 00:30, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

- It's not easy to add Colombian or Venezuelan charts – both countries' charts are compiled by the Colombian company National-Report, but they only display the current week, and there are no archives, so it's impossible for anyone to check past charts and find the chart peak of a specific record (I've tried writing to National-Report about adding a searchable archive, but they won't answer).

- Redirect to Taiwan for which it is a plausible misspelling and/or typo, and I do see google results for that. I don't see anything related to Thailand that isn't a deliberate blend with Taiwan. Thryduulf (talk) 13:57, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Having a disambiguation page gives undue credibility to this typo. Given how many people from outside Asia confuse Taiwan and Thailand, we shouldn't fan the flame by propagating mistakes. Deryck C. 15:15, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Judging by his website (www.orderofmaltaosj.com/the-grand-master.html) he appears to be the self-appointed "grand master" of one of the countless fake/self-styled "Orders of Malta". I also note that he is born in 1976 and that all the "sources" in this article were published (mostly years) before he was even born, and that they don't seem related to him in any way. I believe this article is a hoax about a non-notable individual that mainly serves to promote a non-notable, obscure, fake "Order of Malta." Also, the article doesn't really convey any encyclopedic information. Tataral (talk) 00:20, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
- The lack of relevance of the references is partly my fault. The article used to have a lot of material about the arrival of the family in Italy in the 11th century, and a lot about a disputed claim to something-or-other that was poorly explained and just seemed out of place in a biography. I removed both, but without inline citations, I couldn't tell which of the references should also be removed. I don't think it is a hoax, but I do think the subject is completely non-notable, and its lack of relevant references would cause it to fail WP:BLP except that it hardly says anything about the actual subject that needs referencing.

- Delete - This is an article that doesn't talk at all about the non notable individual in the title. The family is definitely notable and has its own article. The person really exists and indeed makes the ludicrous claims mentioned by Tataral. Then again, there are tons of fantasy claimants out there and all but a small handful merit their own article. --Kimontalk 14:59, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
