Cool Zone[edit]

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

Issues were raised several years ago that this seems to be a hoax. Indeed, searching "Cool Zone" with the names listed turns up no results. If it did exist, it gained no notability. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:41, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I deprodded this, as it was previously prodded in December 2007, but deprodded two days later by an IP. Supposedly a TV series in four parts each 5 minutes long on C31 Adelaide aired in August–September 2005. The article has never been referenced to sources. Let's search with two modifiers

I find nothing but Wikipedia mirrors. There are a few things suggesting this is a hoax: Originally created by an editor claiming to be a journalist from South Australia, the article has seen no substantial edits for the last eight years, but between its creation in February 2006 until January 2010, most substantial edits were performed by IPs that geolocate to NSW on ranges 58.104*, 58.105*, 58.106*, and 220.238* that all are assigned to Optus. When an IP was done half an hour after creation, the host was one Matty-T.

But no sources are found. A week later the host name is changed to Emmy T, so ...

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

... you guessed it: nada. One Adam Micheal Todd is a short-lived "host" (don't bother to search) before the host becomes one X-Cool in January 2007 (don't bother to search), and when 220.238.66.209 (talk) in December 2007 deprods and removes the unreferenced tag, they change the host name to M-Cool (don't bother to search).

All in all, this has all the hallmarks of a hoax - thank you both 98.209.191.37 (talk) and TenPoundHammer - and seems with an age of 18 years to be a contender for a current second place on Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. Sam Sailor 23:47, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm not going to scream hoax on this because this was a show on a community TV station, thus by design sourcing is going to be horrible; I believe it did air. But it didn't get beyond four weeks and this seems to be an artifact of the time where we were writing about anything that premiered on television and were loose with sources. If it did air, it likely did in a low-profile timeslot with viewership among a select few people. I also believe the continual 'host' switching was IPs having a go on an article without many visitors. Nate • (chatter) 04:20, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and move to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia In spite of the fact that this show was allegedly aired on a community TV station, the article still claims that it had "a cult following" (which I believe is incredibly unlikely for a program that aired for a very short time; also searching information for that claim brings me zero positive results on Google) and apparently several other Australian TV channels were interested in picking up the show back in 2006 but didn't happen because of disagreements with M-Cool or whoever the IP decides to change the host's name to (attempting to search for any news coverage of this show on Google News brings me zero results). I do agree that this should be archived as a hoax simply because of how long this article managed to evade detection for a very long time. 98.209.191.37 (talk) 12:59, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails GNG regardless of veracity. –dlthewave ☎ 14:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm sceptical this existed because of the five minute episodes consisting of "numerous" segments each strikes me as unlikely, but either way I couldn't find any sources at all, having looked quite hard, so the article shouldn't stay. Mortee (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, even if this is not a hoax, it's totally unverifiable and as such it has to go. Given that it is supposedly a short running interstitial programme on a community television station in a smaller city, I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility that it existed and the Internet has simply forgotten all about it.

Denis Brisson[edit]

Delete. I also suspect WP:AUTOBIO here, as this article was its creator's only contribution to Wikipedia — and while I can't prove that outright, what I am 100 per cent certain about is that the sources here aren't cutting it for the purposes of getting him over WP:GNG: the vast majority of them are either unreliable or primary, and the only two that are technically reliable ones are just verifying a tangential fact about somebody else named in this article. Not only are they not about Brisson, they completely fail to even mention Brisson's name at all — which means they accomplish nothing here in terms of assisting Brisson's notability.

Gradeup[edit]

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

This article does not satisfy product notability or general notability and reads like an advertisement. The references are not third-party, but are in the nature of published press releases or advertorials, and Google search turns up nothing written independently, only the usual vanity hits. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:08, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is shown as having been accepted via Articles for Creation. However, it was reviewed properly through AFC once and declined. It was then moved from draft space to article space by a paid editor, not by an AFC reviewer. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I just saw this at AfC as it was a pending draft in the article space. Taking a look at the references, the article lacks WP:CORPDEPTH. There are many references, but they are from unreliable sources or simply state general announcements about the company.
Delete - fails N - it's a prep test which may have significance for those about to take a test. Not seeing the required RS that make this one particularly notable over any other. ^{Atsme📞📧} 19:50, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Interconnectedness[edit]

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

This article has no substantial sources, and is mostly an opinion essay based on original research. It pieces together various forms of interconnectedness (economic and political) to create a religious sense of connectedness in the reader. That's great rhetoric, but bad for an encyclopedia. I don't see how to turn it into a good article, as it has no clearly defined topic. Daask (talk) 21:36, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The pages interconnectivity and interdependence look pretty bad too. XOR'easter (talk) 18:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to say earlier: the sentence "Interconnectedness is the main aspect of chaos theory" is just wrong. Where is the "interconnectedness" in the logistic map or the Lorenz equations or the Van der Pol oscillator? (I guess a driven damped pendulum kit is "interconnected" in the sense that if I want to use it in a lab, I have to "interconnect" it with an electrical outlet.) Platitudinous, "chaos theory says we're all connected, man" vagaries have no place in an encyclopedia. And synthesis of vagaries on the basis that, in their warmth and fuzziness, they sound alike — that is not an improvement. XOR'easter (talk) 21:16, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I am appalled to see only frank deletionists at work. True, it's a mish-mash. But for ...'s sake, let's keep the parts for the time being, so that at least we can create more specific articles and make it a disambiguation page. I have already applied some cleanup and the religious stuff for one may need some sharpening but is absolutely substantial. You do not want to include interpenetration in network theory for sure?

Delete a bunch of notable people owning works you created does not show that an artist is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I only recently read the policy but it seems to me that it says this artist is notable. The policy is called WP:Artist, check section 4, part d. part b may also be relevant. Also my understanding is that her awards are also of relevance. Regards. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 22:53, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the awards listed could not be much less notable than they already are. To wit: "2006 Dog Writers' Association of America Best Illustration Award". 198.58.161.137 (talk) 09:50, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose they are not, the awards related to the Society of Canadian Artists look impressive but I can't seem to find out what they really are. My comment is mostly about "a bunch of notable people owning works you created", when the policy says that if notable galleries own a person's work then that makes the artist notable. And also the policy says that if the work has been in a major exhibition the artist is also notable. No one seems to be paying attention to the exhibitions, or the owners of this artists work despite the fact that this could very well make the artist notable. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 12:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The exhibitions in cafes and community centres are also less than notable. A significant exhibition, as mentioned in WP:ARTIST is something like the Venice Biennale 198.58.161.137 (talk) 18:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry I should have been specific, I am referring to the exhibitions at the Toronto International Art Fair, Loch Gallery and Abbozzo Gallery, and also the six exhibitions the Art Gallery of Burlington which I see is an important gallery described as the "seventh largest public art gallery in Ontario". I no nothing of the "juried exhibitions" but there are some named galleries in that list also. There are also the Society Of Artists exhibitions which I again don't know anything about and might be the ones you were referring to. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 20:04, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Burlington Art Centre? Not the same as the Art Gallery of Burlington. The Toronto International Art Fair, Loch Gallery and Abbozzo Gallery are all commercial venues. In any case, we do not go by venue (unless it is something very significant, in which case we can look at WP:ARTIST more). We use this standard: NOTABILITY IS ESTABLISHED BY WIDE, IN-DEPTH COVERAGE in RELIABLE SOURCES. Please read WP:RS, WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. You do not seem to understand how notability works, and those pages may help. Also, look at at the experienced editors voting delete on this page, for good reasons. Read their reasons as well. This page is a quite clear delete. If she had a number of good references it would be OK, but there are not enough to establish notability. That's my last comment on that.198.58.161.137 (talk) 07:17, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's good enough for me, I will recommend Delete now on the basis that the possible importance of the galleries has been looked at and is they are not important enough for the WP:ARTIST policy to be relevant. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 10:29, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the awards are not significant awards (member shows, etc) and do not establish notability. Also the page appears to be a close paraphrase of the artist's website: http://heatherhorton.com/biography/ --Theredproject (talk) 01:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sentimental Rhythms[edit]

Redirect to Benzino – the article is so poorly written it's not even clear if the mixtape exists or not... the article calls it "fictitious" but it does appear to have been recorded and is even available to download illegally. Doesn't appear to be any sourcing at all apart from an audio interview with Benzino, although it's not clear where it was recorded. Without any form of official release or even a track listing, it's impossible to say that this passes WP:NALBUM. Richard3120 (talk) 00:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have a wonderful idea to you. Go to your phone, check if you have Benzino's actual number, actual contact information, because you unfortunately you do not. I have worked with Benzino on and off for three years. I have been helping him with pushing music and social media marketing for his ventures. Unfortunately, because there is too little information for individuals like yourself, who consider with a closed mind, should be evaluating on the basis of the individual you are referring to. Do not make me the scapegoat because you information is not accurate. So called "contributors" and "scholars" like yourselves did not even know that Benzino was featured on three albums and five mixtape, which I have added onto that page. If you want my details and feed of conversation I have had with him, email me, I will be more than welcome to provide that to you, because I am not fond of individuals who make presumptuous arguments on the basis of information they did not even bother to research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tejsodhi (talk • contribs) 18:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tejsodhi Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a blog or gossip website. It requires sources from published, reliable entities, not personal knowledge. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 18:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You accuse us of not having done the research, and in the same paragraph admit that there is "too little information" available for us to be able do that research... which is tantamount to admitting that the mixtape is not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Maybe you have access to personal information but WP:IKNOWIT is not acceptable as a reliable independent source... and as you admit to helping Benzino market and promote his music, you are not an independent source. Richard3120 (talk) 23:30, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:DEL7 as unverifiable. I get 18 non-repeated hits on a search for Benzino "Sentimental Rhythms", none of them are reliable. The article basically amounts to a few snippets of supposedly inside information by a declared COI editor. Sentimental Rhythms is currently not mentioned in Benzino, and it should not be, as long as no WP:RS exist to confirm it. As such, the title is not a valid search term, therefore a suggested policy-based WP:ATD-R solution as a categorized {{R from album}} to the artist article is here out of the question.

Delete I don't find any evidence that he meets our criteria as a teacher, artist, or advocate. He writes poems, he publishes articles, he gives talks. But there is no independent coverage of him or his work. --MelanieN (talk) 02:14, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: There is just not enough to advance notability. The subject co-edits books, one compilation Love at the Gallery, has 13 poems with the subject and his co-editor submitting one poem each. He co-edited From Walden to Woodlands along with "Muzakkir Samat". The article credits the subject simply as the editor. Nothing even approaching notability for a stand-alone article.

Delete per WP:TNT. The article is almost entirely unsourced original research and appears non neutral. For example, I found this passage in German press:

Imad Karim is allegedly a TV journalist - only for a very long time without TV releases. In the 90's he had been able to realize some productions for ARD stations. But that was a long time ago. He earns his living as a commercial filmmaker, which does not stop him from calling himself a "director" and "TV journalist". [1] (Not sure if this is a reliable source or not.)

I'm seeing some interviews with the subject, but nothing in depth about him. Not finding anything in Google Books. Without proper sourcing, this article is not viable.

A less than half-eligible secondary source (didn't invest further time in assessing possible ineligibility for reliability reasons) does not make "significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources".

James W. Gay[edit]

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

Created in 2011 by a WP:SPA, who also uploaded the images found in the article, it has has only one peripheral reference. Searches are complicated by the common name of the subject. After trying to clean up embedded edits riffing on the name ("Gay"), and searching for references, I conclude it fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO as it lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 16:55, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I tried several different searches to find reliable sources, and the only thing I found was a short blurb about this fellow giving a gun from the Battle of Little Big Horn to a state historical society. Definitely not enough coverage to make an article out of, which makes me wonder how much of this page is original research or oral family history. PohranicniStraze (talk) 18:45, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (possible hoax) I've had some fun Googling for the poem. Here (p.86) it is in 1899 in an opinion piece on osteopathy. Here it is attributed to "Prince of Quacks" Dr. Francis Tumblety, circa 1860, who sounds like quite a character, and who Wikipedia says "earned a small fortune posing as an "Indian Herb" doctor throughout the United States and Canada", similar to James W. Gay who "was a herbal Indian medicine man". Our article also says he moved to St Louis, Missouri, while James W. Gay "joined the Pawnees on the Missouri River". Between these overlaps and the absence of accessible sources, my suspicion is that this is a hoax.

I see there's a 90 page book about him, which was the only source in the first version of the article. The last version as edited by the article creator, one day later, dropped the book but tried citing the home pages of various Indian tribes, plus http://www.crystalinks.com/, a "metaphysics and science" page, plus the remaining Andersonville Prison reference, which doesn't include the words "Gay" or "Clothier" (his original name) at all. All very odd. Either way, I can't find online sources to back up any claim about him, so it should be deleted for failing WP:V. Mortee (talk) 20:18, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Since the "Clothier" name was added in this edit, I think it can safely be ignored. Mortee (talk) 20:28, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delet extraordinary claims require extraordinary sources. THis is an example of sloppily written articles that make all sorts of claims with no basis in fact. There are two levels of hoaxing that seem to be potentially going on, and no sources to indicate which one it is. On one level James W. Gay may be a 21st-century invention. Nothing in our current sources indicates otherwise. On the other level, he may have invented a false history of himself in the 19th-century. Rachel Dolezal was not the first Euro-American person to falsely claim non-European ancestry. Many, many people either made such a claim in the 19th-century, or covered up their Afircan roots with false native ancestry claims. Some have traced some of this to attempts by those in the southern US to bolster their rights to hold other people in subjecgation in part by bolstering their political power with deep claims of right to the area by claiming a connection to pre-European inhabitiants. In Gay's case, assuming that he is not just a 21-st century invention, false claims of Native American roots would have bolstered his credentials to practice alternative medicine. However as has been pointed out we essentially lack any sources that show anything about Gay.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't think it is a hoax as i think this is his prison record and if you read the preview of the book it gives a couple of autobiographical pages. However there does not seem to be any sources to suggest he is notable. Mattg82 (talk) 01:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have to agree that as it is written we need much more sources otherwise this looks like original research. However, this is the kind of article that fits well with Wikipedia. If proper sources can be found, I say keep it. If not, it should be deleted. Perhaps an enthusiastic editor will agree to take custody of the article and Userfy until it can be properly sourced?--Paul McDonald (talk) 14:34, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - on newspapers.com I find a few things. One, I find a James W. Gay who was an opinionated doctor in Illinois in the late 1890s[20]. I find a Dr. James W. Gay who was Ojibwe living in Winfield, Kansas and predicting floods[21]. I find a newspaper ad for probably the same person also in Winfield[22]. Also in Winfield a Dr. James W. Gay participated in a veterans event[23]. I find that note about him giving a rifle to a historic association[24].This is enough to me to think that while Gay may have been involved in hoaxes, the hoax is not on us, so to speak. I also found an article about an orphan son of an Indian agent in the 1850s named James W. Gay[25], which might be an interesting lead on this individual's early life. That said, I agree that the details in this article fail WP:V and WP:OR. I do not think there is enough from what I've found on newspapers.com (linked above), on google books, or elsewhere that would allow for an article to be written that clearly does not fail these policies. I would support userfication if someone thought they could clean things up and would be happy to assist, but I do not think I would succeed at such a task with what I've found.

- @FloridaArmy: There was an earlier episode of Family Guy that was originally called "Brian dates a bitch". 2 weeks before airing it got a name change to "Boy dog meets girl dog". This article has shown no notability and should not be made 2 months before an air-date. Numerous changes could happen.

This article was the subject of a discussion at INB, where folks including myself raised several concerns. The scope of the list is far too large. It is also too vague, as "warrior" is not clearly defined. The article includes both historical and mythological people. It has a caste-based classification system that has no encyclopedic basis.

gah, this should have been created in draft space and developed there.

Comment.

We have rules about paid editing, but not about this AFAIK. But it seems quite similar to me — immoral, anyway. Not on the part of the student, but of the supervisor and article subject.

This is one of a series of new articles on recordings by Thea Gilmore. Which I favour redirecting to the artist. My change to a redirect was undone by the page creator; subsequently user:Boleyn prodded it but the prod was removed by user:Michig with the edit summary "deproded - unsourced but notable". However, a quick search did not throw up anything that I consider solid enough to confer notability. TheLongTone (talk) 14:21, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please stop bundling AFDs like this? Not only have you bungled the implementation of these bundled AFDs multiple times now, but separate subjects like this really shouldn't be bundled anyways. The notability of these two releases are completely separate situations, just as they were with Thrash Anthems and Thrash Anthems II you've done recently. Sergecross73 msg me 15:06, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's been 3 hours, and you still haven't addended it. Nor should you - they are 2 separate albums with 2 separate scenarios neededing to be discussed for their notability. I've removed the notice from the Rules For Jokers page. If you want to discuss it, create a proper separate AFD discussion for it. It does not belong here. Sergecross73 msg me 17:41, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep: nothing wrong with the PopMatters and Boston Globe reviews, and although it's a local paper, the Manchester Evening News is one of the UK's best-known and most respected local papers, and as Gilmore isn't from Manchester, it can't be accused of being biased to promoting local artists. It's true that one or two more reviews from music magazines would help to establish notability, but as Gilmore's previous album Avalanche was her chart breakthrough, and this album contains cover versions of many well-known songs, I'd be pretty confident that this record attracted enough attention to be reviewed in Q, and possibly in Mojo and Uncut as well. It looks like the album was released in June 2004, rather than 2003, as stated in the article at present. Richard3120 (talk) 16:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable film producer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:39, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Getting a nomination at a top-level national film or television award, like the Genie Awards or the Gemini Awards, is a valid notability claim for a film/TV producer (it's basically the most solid notability claim that a producer can make, in fact), and she indeed has one or more nominations at each of the Genies and the Geminis — no, at the Oscar/Emmy/BAFTA/CSA level a win is not necessary, but rather a mere nomination is entirely sufficient. And while it's true that this article isn't well-referenced as written, a ProQuest search does bring up 74 hits for her — not all of those are going to be useful, because some of them are just namechecks of her existence in lists of television award juries, but enough of them are solid. The issue here is not that SIGCOV doesn't exist — it's that the biggest chunk of SIGCOV happened around 2005 when she had a film up for Best Picture at the Genies, and so would not be expected to turn up in a simple Google search (Google is not good at locating media coverage that's more than a year or two old). But it does exist, and I'm in the process of adding it to the article right now. Bearcat (talk) 16:46, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Sorry, but looking at the most significant movie she has a production credit for, It's All Gone Pete Tong, she was one of 12 producers, and is listed as "producer: Canada", presumably just a producer for the part of the film shot in Canada. Big stretch to call it "her" film. Edwardx (talk) 19:10, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but that's not how film works. The fact is that a Best Picture nomination (and award if it wins) at the Oscars or the BAFTAs or the CSAs goes only to the person or people whose credit is just "producer" without "associate", "executive" or "line" in front of it. Associate and line producers are junior figures who assist in the production process, but are not the main leaders of it, and executive producer is an honorary credit usually given to the film's funders, not an indication that the person actually did any work. So who a film's producers are, for the purposes of an award nomination or an encyclopedic notability claim, is determined by who has the title "producer" without executive or line or associate modifiers. At the level of who is considered a film's producer for the sake of an award nomination that goes to producers, and therefore toward the wikinotability of said producers, the film had only three producers: Allan Niblo, James Richardson, and Elizabeth Yake.
At any rate, the bottom line is that the Genie Awards included her name as one of the three nominees — and the bottom line is that every single person whose name appears in Canadian Screen Award for Best Motion Picture at all is automatically a valid article topic by virtue of that nomination itself. Being named in that list means they qualify to have an article, period, because being a nominee for a major film award is a notability claim that gets a filmmaker into Wikipedia right on its face — we're not actually there yet, I grant, but every single name in that list has to eventually become a blue link without exception. And even if you still disagree, I've already sourced her well enough to pass WP:GNG regardless. Bearcat (talk) 20:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. I was not aware of this SNG for the producers of Canadian Screen Award for Best Motion Picture nominees, and am unable to find it. I'm willing to AGF on the all offline references, but is there nothing available online? Edwardx (talk) 21:24, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia does not have a requirement that references be online. As long as they're reliable sources, we don't care whether they came from a Google search or a news retrieval database like ProQuest or a microfilm or an archived print copy. Bearcat (talk) 21:32, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per meeting WP:BIO per numerous awards and nominations notable to Canada. WP:CREATIVE applies to such. [37] Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 04:39, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm concerned about the article's accuracy. It says she was nominated or won various film awards but she is a producer. Was she the producer on films that won awards or did she win the awards? I don't think this is a minor difference. I have no objection to saying "She produced XYZ which won.." but being one of the producers of a project and winning an award oneself are not the same. I think it's an issue of advertisement and promotion. And these assertions need citations. FloridaArmy (talk) 12:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)↓[reply]

"Was she the producer on films that won awards or did she win the awards?" When a film wins an award, such as "Best Picture" at the Oscars or the Canadian Screen Awards or a film festival, would you like to guess who the award's recipient is? The film's producer(s). So it's not a question of "or" — it's impossible for either half of that sentence to be true independently of the other in an either/or scenario, because they both mean exactly the same thing and are entirely inseparable from each other. Bearcat (talk) 02:21, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Bearcat and a news search, the coverage is weak but I believe there's enough there to write a decent encyclopedia article, not least on her contributions to the production of notable films. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 11:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a musician, who has no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to carry a WP:GNG pass. The only notability claim here is that he released an album, and the only source is a single blog entry from a single radio program -- but even notability because radio airplay requires national networks, not single-station playlists. This was a good faith creation at the time, as our notability and sourcing standards for musicians were a lot looser in 2009 than they are today, but under the current notability and sourcing standards there's just not enough substance or sourcing to deem him notable for anything more than existing.

By any reasonable standard this level of detail belongs on a transit fan site, and a much reduced summary merged back to the main article.

Mangoe (talk) 11:59, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A brief summary of the buses in the current and past fleets (by types, years and ranges of fleet nos.) is the most that is potentially worthwhile to include in table form on Wikipedia (and can be merged into the main article), and even that information should cite reliable sources (which excludes forums, as noted under WP:USERGENERATED). Lists like this one – detailing every individual bus that is, or no longer is, in service – contain far too much detail for Wikipedia. The place for that kind of detail are sites like the Canadian Public Transit Discussion Board, which are maintained by and for transit fans and which don't need to cite sources. Wikipedia has a much broader audience and has higher standards regarding sourcing. The other similarly detailed transit fleet lists on Wikipedia should also be deleted. Bus fans (of which I am one) can find that info. on CPTDB, among other places. – SJ Morg (talk) 10:29, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notability is established by very substantial coverage such as the bylined Forbes artocle entirely about this subject. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please distinguish Forbes the magazine from its "contributor network". The latter is a collection of personal blogs with no editorial oversight or fact-checking. The article contributes nothing to notability. Similarly, the entrepreneur.com article is a guest post rather than an editorially-vetted magazine article. Rentier (talk) 14:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of media contract to independent journalists for content. The article is not a personal blog it's a news piece. Perfectly appropriate. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:22, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These sources fall under WP:NEWSBLOG at best and WP:USERGENERATED at worst. They are not to be used for establishing notability. This was discussed many times before [40].

Rentier (talk) 16:50, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Did you read the entries you linked? The first notes established writers of blogs can be used. Thisbisnt a blog, it's an article in a business news magazine. And usergenerated applies to personal websites and such. The article author is a very well established tech contributor who's articles are perfectly legit.

FloridaArmy (talk) 17:55, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fairly certain owning 7 hotels isn't enough around here per se for inherent notability - there's always a largest operator when the geographical area is small enough, but then it's of local concern rather than notable (for ever) in a global encyclopedia (sure, it's a country)...

or we go by notability for example these sources are routine coverage not counting for notabilty Elegant Hotels striving for more ...reviews pricing strategy after fall in pound .

Separately, we're WP:NOTDIRECTORY and notability (which isn't clear to me) is not the only grounds for deletion, but promotion and WP:NOT generally, for example WP:PROMOTION ...local companies are typically unacceptable.

Keep per substantial coverage. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is a very simply requirement for meeting the criteria for establishing notability. Reasons such as "largest hotel operator in Barbados" and similar are not sufficient. There must be references and a topic must have two "intellectually independent" reliable references as per GNG and WP:NCORP. A number of the Keep !voters have used reasons such as "substantial coverage", "sufficient to pass GNG" and "backed up by sufficient sources" but none have responded to Widefox (correctly) pointing out that those references fails the criteria for establishing notability.

Keep or Merge - This is content that was merged from Category:Public domain films (now deleted). Per the policy WP:PRESERVE there should be a merge to Public domain film since that article has a "main article" sub-section. However it would be too big since that article is already very long. Public domain film concerns every country in the world, not just the USA, there needs to be a place to put these country-specific issues without creating separate articles for each country (until needed). Film copyright and PD in film is a complex topic with country-specific issues.

Comment: I don't particularly agree with the justification provided for the nomination, but I'm not sure I can argue against what is likely to be the outcome. Personally, I think Wikipedia is too keen on just removing BLP articles because a high bar for notability is required. On the other hand, the subject of this nominations has works that are rightfully cited sources for other articles on Wikipedia, and I'd also suggest (but don't know), that the subject is sufficiently notable in his main area of activity. I certainly feel like the nominator should have at least consulted with the Science and Academia workgroup first. Does this project even know the article has been nominated for deletion? Have they actually even been informed the article was in need of attention? Also, Wikipedia's guidelines make little account for semi-academic engineering professions, especially in computing (with the exception of mentioning an IEEE fellowship as a sign of notability), as the specific criteria don't often apply to these disciplines, so that could use improvement. Either way, I think it's a bit disappointing the amount of busybodying this article has received by WP:POLUK.--Topperfalkon (talk) 12:08, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion - As I stated on its talk page, I believe that List of Inheritance Cycle characters - while in shoddy shape right now - can and should be saved. It is notable in that it describes characters in a highly notable YA book series, some of which have been controversially compared to characters in other media. Such controversies and character descriptions are often too detailed to describe on a book page, and so having this page around allows us to keep that information. I compare this list with List of characters in mythology novels by Rick Riordan, List of The Underland Chronicles characters, and List of Harry Potter characters. The last of these is always my most-cited precedent as it includes paragraphs of completely-unreferenced descriptions of even minor characters (look at Ludo Bagman for an example), and yet it lives. As I asked on the IC list talk page, I ask that we at the very least postpone deletion for a month so that I can make some attempt at making this particular list acceptable. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 21:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Kalyan is a major railway hub. We cover its facilities in other pages such as Kalyan#Transport, Kalyan Junction railway station and Loco Shed, Kalyan.

(talk) 11:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- So no evidence that this is in any way a notable shed then? Kalyan#Transport is a two-line section without any information on this or other sheds, just that the station is important: this is not a reason to keep this article. Kalyan Junction railway station is a gem with indispensable information like "Waiting Rooms are available on platform Nos. 4 & 5 of with and without air condition. There is a separate 'ladies-only' waiting room on platform 4. Canteen is available on the long distance trains platform 4&5. snacks corners can be located on the entire length of the platforms." Yep, having more articles like this is what our editing policy proscribes. Loco Shed, Kalyan: should this article exist? Perhaps, but even then there is no reason that if we have one article on a perhaps notable shed, we suddenly have to keep articles on other non notable sheds as well. Nothing in your favourite WP:PRESERVE policy claims that pages should be kept "for integration and development" if the information is on a subject which lacks notability to start with. There is nothing "disruptive" about the deletion of this material, no other article would suddenly become deficient or unintelligible, there would be no gap in the coverage of notable subjects.

I'm not here to jump through Fram's hoops especially as his argument is not based upon policy whereas mine is. There are sensible alternatives to deletion and so it is reasonable to prefer them per our editing policy. My !vote stands. Andrew D. (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

PRESERVE is about removing some information in an article or not, it doesn't deal with whether a subject should have a standalone article in the first place. Anyway, in WP:V, the other policy you quoted, we find "Base articles on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." Since this article is not based on such sources, it has no place on enwiki. This is, as you well know, what WP:N is about, but as you somehow need the link to an actual policy and not the probably most widely accepted or applied guideline on enwiki, you now have it straight from your own policy. Further down in WP:V we find "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." So my hoops are essentially the hoops you find in basic policies, not something I have invented. Fram (talk) 15:30, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fram is now resorting to an essay to prop up his argument and that's even weaker than a guideline. I remain content with my policy-based argument. We have a reasonable topic here and we should preserve the information about it as part of our coverage of the Indian railway system. My !vote stands. Andrew D. (talk) 16:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My quotes come straight from the policy, and include a link to an essay (link already in that policy, not my addition). Apparently only your general pointers to policies are acceptable, but my policy quotes aren't? So no, I'm not "resorting to an essay", I give specific applicable policy quotes, not some vague pointers and claims that this article must be retained because "it as (sic) part of our coverage of the Indian railway system". Nearly every article that gets deleted is "part of coverage" of something, be it some music scene, all staff at a university, all people active in a sport, ... That doesn't stop us deleting such articles of course. This shed has not been shown to be a notable part of the Indian railway system as evidenced by independent sources, not just by your claims. Fram (talk) 16:20, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am unmoved by Fram's wikilawyering. This is my !vote and Fram should please cease trying to badger me out of it. The topic seems quite respectable and it seems quite reasonable that we should keep it for further work. Deletion is not appropriate. Andrew D. (talk) 17:04, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't like replies, stop replying, simple. But if you do reply, don't include false claims like "Fram is now resorting to an esay" when I gave you two quotes from a policy you brought up (in general) as supporting keep, when it actually favours deletion of such articles. Fram (talk) 17:08, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The replies are mainly tiresome for the others who have to wade through this. The essential point of WP:V is that we need reliable sources and we have those. WP:IS and WP:N are essays and guidelines which are inferior to our policies. My !vote stands. Andrew D. (talk) 17:22, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

      - I said that Indian government is not an independent source, not that it isn't a reliable source. A government producing documents about their railways is not an indication of notability.

This two different shed are located 10 Km meter of the station which is suburb Mumbai. According to you Government of India is not an independent source but in India whole rail network is run by Government of India then this make it a independent source and if Government of India is not an independent source where you will find coverage of the Indian railway system please tell me.

Keep very notable infrastructure. I reject the argument that because the substantial coverage is from the government it is insufficiently independent. The Library of Congress and National Register of Historic Places are run by the U.S. government and certainly have the ability to confer notability onna subject here. The Indian government documents covering this subject are more than adequate to establish notability. It's also not true that is hasn't received independent coverage.

The design of new commuter passenger train engines and paint jobs done at the facility as well as other maintenance and engineering projects done at this shed are often covered in Newspapers as well as news of the major trains kept there. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:14, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Being included in the Library of Congress is not a sign of notability, they include every book, magazine, ... printed in the US and much more beyond. The National Register of Historic Places is not the owner or user of the buildings in the Register, they are an independent "award" (for lack of a better word) and thus they give notability to the places in the register. The Indian Government is the owner/user of this building, not an independent organisation like the NRHP is for the buildings. You may be right that there is independent coverage, but you need to provide some evidence of this. Simply claiming that such coverage exists is not sufficient.

Comment: it seems to me the focus of the article is all wrong – it talks mainly about artists of Hispanic descent making hip hop in America, rather than Latin American artists making hip hop in Spanish or Portuguese, which is what I would think of as Latin hip hop. Certainly South America has any number of artists rapping in Spanish, and many of them are famous and Grammy Award winners (e.g. Calle 13, Choc Quib Town, etc.) but without a specific definition of "Latin hip hop", many of these artists will be classed as reggaeton instead.

Other than your use of the wrong "its", none of this has to do with the article. As I said, it's just a slapdash synthesis of unconnected ideas. Just because there are hip-hop artists who are Latin American does not mean that "Latin hip hop" exists.

Delete I don't see any notability in the sourcing. Also, fwiw, PROD removal does not exempt an article from soft deletion via an AfD per the policy: administrators may soft delete at their discretion per WP:SOFTDELETE, even if it has been deproded. This discretion might be to not delete ~~this time because the deprod was so recent~~, but it would not be outside the policy to soft delete. Hopefully it won't come to that, though. Edit: actually, I think soft deletion would be good here if we don't have more participants. The actual contested PROD was in 2013, not recently, and a how-to guide is not really the type of sourcing we look for. Soft deletion (assuming we don't get more participation) would work because the deprod had been years ago, and a lack of a quorum now after multiple relists would show that over time, the deletion had become non-controversial. Anyway, that is assuming we don't get more comments, which like I said, hopefully we will. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Huh. I don't know where I got that idea in my mind. Thanks for the ping and letting me know. I was checking histories and not using soft deletion, ha. I appreciate it. Killiondude (talk) 05:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, it makes sense to do it the way you were :). I’d agree that it typically would be a reason to NC close if it were recent, but policy allows a closing admin discretion in these cases. I think an example of where I would soft delete would be a no reference stub from 2005 that was de-proded in 2006 by an IP with no comment and had been relisted twice with no comments: it would be ineligible for PROD because of the 2006 contesting, but if no one in the community objected to its deletion after 3 weeks, it’d make little sense to NC and renom. This isn’t quite at that extreme, but relisted twice with one Delete !vote based on the sourcing and a contested PROD from 5 years ago would in my opinion, be fine to soft delete. Again, hopefully this becomes all academic, but I just didn’t want there to be a NC if there didn’t have to be. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to deprod this article as the second reference, Building Telephony Systems with OpenSIPS 1.6 is an entire book on the subject--a substantial peer reviewed publication by a respected computer book publisher. This is good evidence of notability. A quick look at GScholar shows a number of papers discussing openSIPs.

Comment Book mentioned above was published by Packt, which is a print on demand publishing company - they will probably publish anything you throw at them. Hard to judge notability then. I was not able to find better sources myself. Pavlor (talk) 10:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to SIP Express Router. There are few enough editors in the telecoms space these days that lack of participation does not imply lack of controversy. Warnock's dilemma applies. 4 1/2 years after my deprod above, Packt's reputation isn't what it used to be. The book itself got a second edition in 2016, which wouldn't happen if it was hit-and-run dross. But Pavlor makes a good point--Packt branding doesn't have the reputation of a first-tier publisher. OpenSIPs itself has a yearly conference devoted to it and is mentioned in about 450 GScholar entries. This paper claims (as of 2011) that OpenSIPS was the most popular open source SIP server. Altogether its not enough evidence for stand-alone notability. But the software is worth a mention in the SIP Express Router article. This article covers SER, and further developments OpenSER and Kamailio. OpenSIPS is another further development of OpenSER, so has a natural place in the article. I'd just merge the couple of sentences in the lede of this article as due weight. --Mark viking (talk)

"Lack of controversy?" With all due respect, what are you talking about? The huge table that consistitutes 96.7% of the article (45,052 bytes from the 46,542 bytes total) is a direct violation of WP:NOTDIR, a fundamental policy.

The remaining 3.7% probably does better in Session Initiation Protocol article.

Sorry for not being more clear about the controversy assertion. I was referring to TonyBallioni's assertion above that lack of participation could mean less controversy. Regarding the table, there's no controversy there--it's of undue weight, out of place, and agreed, violates NOTDIR. Whatever is done with the article, the table has got to go :-) Redirecting or merging to Session Initiation Protocol would be fine by me, too. --Mark viking (talk) 20:56, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Session Initiation Protocol per above discussion. FloridaArmy (talk) 22:25, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. What I wrote in my PROD back in 2013 still applies now: there is no evidence that this subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The article gives no independent sources at all (the author of the book referred to is one of the developers of OpenSIPS). Merging the bulk of the content of the article makes no sense, since, as Codename Lisa and Mark viking both say, almost all of it is a totally unsuitable table which does not belong in any article. As for merging the first couple of sentences to SIP Express Router, I agree with TonyBallioni that there is nothing worth merging. However, anyone who thinks that OpenSIPS is worth a brief mention there can easily write one or two short sentences telling the reader what OpenSIPS is, without having to refer to this article. AfDs that are closed as "merge" more often than not result in one of two outcomes: (1) nobody actually does the merge, or (2) it is merged, and then after a while when everyone from the AfD has moved on, someone reverts the redirecting, and restores the article. In either of these cases there was consensus (sometimes unanimous consensus) that the article should not remain, but it does remain. Obviously in the case of an article with significant content worth merging that is just a risk we have to accept, but where there is no significant content to merge, as in this case, it is much better to delete the article and, as I have indicated, anyone can then add a brief mention to the other article if they wish to. That is why I strongly prefer delete to merge for this article. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:05, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a Google search indicates there is a strong technical support infrastructure behind this implementation. The organization also holds annual conferences to support the product.

Daphne Oseña-Paez[edit]

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

We have a big issue with this article. While it does appear that she is notable, all of the sources currently in the article were added by paid editor Noraft (AKA I'm Tony Ahn) who heads a PR firm: original creation HERE. Per this discussion, and this interview with Tony Ahn, where he was asked: "What if a client hasn’t had anything written about them?"

His response is harrowing: "This is an issue that isn’t impossible to get around. You have to have press coverage to get on Wikipedia. So I have placed articles in the press on behalf of clients. If you don’t have press, I can get you press – because I work in PR. I can set up an interview with a newspaper, and then write the Wikipedia article. If I have to get you two insertions, then the Wiki article it’s 75,000 Philippine pesos for the whole lot."

This obviously calls into question every single reference added by Tony Ahn (and his username Noraft) as it may have been planted by his PR firm. Given that there are zero other references in the article other than the ones added by Noraft, I think we have no choice but to TNT the article and blacklist these sources from being used for notability should the article be recreated. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 07:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fully agree with Insertcleverphrasehere's statements above, every source added by Tony Ahn's PR firm is suspect and should be discounted. This is made pertinent by the fact (see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Web_article_detailing_Tony_Ahn's_editing_process) that Ahn often plants sources in local newspapers to establish a basis for writing an article for his firm. Once you remove these sources, there is nothing left to indicate the encyclopedic importance of the article subject, indicating WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:NAUTHOR failures.--SamHolt6 (talk) 08:16, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Can't add much to the obvious subversion detailed above. This is an inherent issue in lacking disclosure (COI editing, especially PAID). The problem is intrinsic - if an editor misrepresents, then where does it stop?

Comment the article on this subject's main tv show Urban Zone is suffering similar issues, and has the same undisclosed COI/PAID editor(s) I'm Tony Ahn. This logically follows, as if there weren't sources for the BLP, there wouldn't have been sources for her tv show. In that respect all arguments above would apply unless proved otherwise, and that articles fate should be included here, or could speedily follow this AfD. Widefox; talk 12:03, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I think that the article on her TV show doesn't meet the notability guidelines completely independently of the tainted sources. The tainted sources just make it more obvious. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 17:41, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Although this editor appears to be responsible for having himself arranged for the sources present, this apples not uniquely to this article: every interview with any performer or business figure in any newspaper or magazine was almost certainly placed by a paid press agent, and none of them can ever be accepted for notability, nor are they a RS except to the extent that the subject's own statements are for routine facts, and their own view of what to say for their motivations--assuming that even these are their own view and not what their PR consultant told them to say.

Keep TPH you need to put a little more effort into your WP:BEFOREs. According to this source he at one point served as the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs, which, as a national office, fulfills WP:NPOL. Furthermore, this states he was a member of Parliament. Furthermore, this BBC article indicates that he held a position analogous to Ambassador to South Africa. -Indy beetle (talk) 07:53, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Deputy minister is a national office and termed "state minister" in many African countries. It meets WP:NPOL. High commissioner is the same as Ambassador in full sense. It is only used among Commonwealth nations. It meets WP:NPOL too. So the word "analogous" is not even needed here. Position that is "analogous" to Ambassador is called Chargé d'affaires; because the word "analogous" strips sense of fullness. A notable international diplomat. However, this nomination is not surprising if one considers nominations like this where entire country education is nominated for deletion by the same person.–Ammarpad (talk) 11:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well, no Snow Keep actually. Come on TenPoundHammer do the job properly, or don't do it at all, my friend. So, Tanzania's Ambassador to South Africa does not meet WP:NBIO? Just look at WP:NPOL - he clearly does. You first PROD-ed the article, stating "no sources", then you must have AFDed it still without checking the sources that were already there. Basic advice: a) look at the article (there were sources when you PRODed it); b) look on Google. c) read WP:BEFORE.

First hit that I checked is this Gizmodo article on 15 of the world's best urban bike infrastructures, which lists it first with classy photo. This is notable. --Doncram (talk) 08:19, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Gizmoda article has a total of 18 words about this bridge. Are there any sources that give significant coverage as required by WP:GNG? Billhpike (talk) 15:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think the nature of that article, with its featured photo of the bridge, is indeed significant coverage. Is there more? Sure, how about this Mercury News article "Roadshow: New bicycle bridge over I-280 is striking span". Again it seems to me that wp:BEFORE was not performed. --Doncram (talk) 17:48, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At best, all coverage in the Mercury-News amounts to a single source for the purpose of WP:GNG Billhpike (talk) 18:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There were four to six sources in the article that were fine at the time of the nomination, none of which were the San Jose Mercury News. Unscintillating (talk) 02:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

At the time of nomination, the sources consisted of ENR article (not independent), a city of Cupertino webpage (not independent), a 16 word blog post, a dead link to a picture of plaque on the Cupertino website, a Structurae entry (trivial coverage and self-published), and a dead link to a webcam feed. None of the sourcres satisfy WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE turned up a few Mercury-News articles, which together count as a single source per WP:GNG. Billhpike (talk) 04:08, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is helpful, thank you.

The main point I see in reply is that while GNG requires "sources", where sources means more than one source, the contributions of significant coverage can come mostly from one WP:RS source, such as the regional newspaper the San Jose Mercury News. Unscintillating (talk) 12:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a $14.8 million [58] 500 ft bridge. It is a big deal, and covered in numerous articles. There is a reason why someone chose to create a Wikipedia article on this topic, as opposed to the absence of articles on many non-descript or ugly concrete beam pedestrian bridges. Perhaps the deletion nominator should consider, if there's a Wikipedia article, maybe indeed there's a reason for it. --Doncram (talk) 16:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - According to sourcing, this bridge is the only cable stayed bridge over a highway in California, which makes it notable architecturally. Not only that, its success using steel instead of concrete has led to at least one other California city (San Jose) referencing it in its own bridge proposal [[60]], so there's lasting notability, which meets WP:NOTTEMPORARY. I added a couple of sources, explaining the name change and the architectural notability. Info about the bridge could certainly be added to Interstate 280 (California)#Route description, but not as a replacement for this article, because there wouldn't be an easy way for the info to be found over there. If the keep momentum continues and this is closed as keep, the article needs to be moved to its new name. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 00:45, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it helps, the Domus Teofilo is also called the House of Teofilo museum, there is a shrine inside it, and in that shrine is a image of Teofilo Camomot. Teofilo is an important archbishop that may be made a saint. The tomb itself was nearby, and Teofilo will be reburied somewhere else after his remains have been displayed in the museum.

Redirect to Teofilo Camomot; not independently notable. Per one usable source listed in the article [61], Domus is the museum dedicated to the life of the subject:

The remains were then placed at the center of the chapel inside the museum, which houses his personal belongings and writings, for public viewing until Thursday afternoon. These were interred shortly after.

Since the museum addresses the life of the subject, it's appropriate to include it in the article on the subject. There's no need for two separate articles. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No objection to relisting but I still say Ravindra Gujjula.

I'd read "Mr. Ravindra" and "Dr. Ravindra" a lot like "Dr. Phil" – a combination of respect (title) and warmth (first name) – and I think the father's middle name was Reddy: "his parents Yalamanda Reddy... and Sarala Devi", i.e. Yalamanda Reddy Gujjula and Sarala Devi Gujjula.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The automatic headcount reveals 45 "keep" and 25 "delete" opinions. As concerns the arguments advanced, the "keep" side argues that the topic has received ample coverage in reliable sources, while the "delete" side considers the article to be non-neutral, original research by synthesis and/or a POV fork. These are all, in principle, valid arguments, and the degree to which one agrees with them is within the range of legitimate disagreement in applying editorial judgment. There are a number of opinions on both sides which aren't much more than votes, though, and at least two "delete" opinions that must be discounted because they make a political argument by describing the article as "insane liberal bias" or a "disgusting partisan attack", rather than making an argument based on Wikipedia's rules.

A deletion would require a consensus to do so, based on arguments founded in Wikipedia policies and guidelines. The above makes it apparent that a consensus for deletion isn't a possible result of this discussion. The question is therefore whether this is a "no consensus, kept by default" or a "consensus to keep" outcome. The effects are the same, but we still need to call it one thing or the other. In our practice, a 2:1 majority, which this comes close to, is often approximated to consensus. In my view, we are closer to a consensus to keep here than to no consensus: Many of the arguments advanced for deletion refer to supposed defects that can in principle be addressed by editing, such as non-neutrality or original research, rather than arguments that fundamentally call into question whether we should have an article on this topic at all (as would be the case if, e.g., the topic were found to be non-notable or unverifiable). For these reasons, I think it is appropriate to give the "delete" arguments slightly less weight and therefore to arrive at a consensus to keep. Sandstein 13:17, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The nature of the article is incredibly biased and non-neutral, lacks encyclopedic tone, lacks encyclopedic value, basically an "article" full of trivia, pretty close to being a WP:QUOTEFARM, and seems to violate BLP standards "bigly" (at least to me). I'm neutral politically and actually lean left, but I cannot believe this even exists as an article. Or anyone thought it was a good idea to begin with. Or that anyone thinks it's encyclopedic in any way. shape. or form.

An example of the kind of POV and unencyclopedic content this article invites (because it's political, because it's "Racism!", because it's Trump - the terror trifecta that just begs controversy, POV, and bias in content and tone): [62]. If this article stands, it's only going to get worse in the way of blatant POV content without encyclopedic tone or value. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 00:42, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It's not incredibly biased, but even it were, that's not a valid reason for deletion. The content is extremely well sourced and has been been covered for 45 years. There was a discussion at talk:Donald Trump#Racial views about the need to create this article and the support was overwhelming. It is not full of trivia, nor does it violate WP:BLP. If that argument is to be considered, one would expect it to be accompanied by some sort of evidence of how it violates WP:BLP.- MrX 00:55, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'll tellya what's a shithole; this nomination, a big cuppa of "I don't like it". The current president of the United States has made numerous statements that have been construed as racist by numerous reliable sources. The depth and breath of coverage regarding this man's racist statements spanning 4+ decades is staggering, with the latest comments regarding Haiti and such receiving international condemnation. This is a notable topic that would overwhelm the main biographical article, so a separate article is appropriate. TheValeyard (talk) 01:33, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not encyclopedic and WP:POVFORK. It's pretty much just a collection of quotes from random pundits who call Trump racist over (insert Trump controversy here). Trump's most recent remarks about Haiti and African countries (apparently the main reason this article was created) should be merged into Immigration policy of Donald Trump. ^Falling_Gravity 02:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the article has a lot of prose and relatively few quotes. Most of the quotes are from Trump himself. The largest section in the article are the Central Park jogger case which provides solid background for why his actions were criticized as racially-motivated. There is a section about Trump being sued by the DOJ for housing discrimination against black people. There's a section on polling. This is a comprehensive subject with a scope beyond any existing subject except perhaps Donald Trump which is already too bloated with real estate deals and Apprentice tirvia to contain the full breadth and depth of Trump's racially-provocative remarks and actions that are perceived as racially-motivated.- MrX 03:38, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Central Park jogger case already has its own article where his actions are described in detail. The only inclusion criteria for this article appears to be if you get some pundit to call him racist, not that the incident actually gives us insight into his "racial views". ^Falling_Gravity 06:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's nonsense. It's an article about his racial views, which discuss some examples ("incidents") in a broader context. What is it suppose to do?

Just curious...Volunteer Marek Do we have an article on any other president's racial views? How about President Obama's? I see a Politico article about them, and there are countless others.

Can't be merged into immigration policy, because the history of racism in his apartment rental business has nothing to do with immigration policy.

Keep. This is probably the most widely covered and important subject related to his election campaign, his personal views and his actual policies. Consider the number of other WP pages on various events that should be linked to this page or vice versa. No, the page is not hopelessly biased. It simply covers a highly important and controversial subject. It can not be merged to Immigration policy of Donald Trump because many issue on the page are not about immigration (only some are). It should not be merged to Political positions of Donald Trump because personal views and political positions by the person are frequently not the same.

sigh* It isn't about what it's "not", it's about what it is - it IS an attack page to discredit Trump. See WP:PUBLICFIGURE. The allegations of racism are unproven, mostly political banter by the opposition, unfounded opinions are what comprise the bulk of the published news sources, probably for the purpose of bait & click revenue; all of which have been denied and successfully disproven. Oh, and there is also no proof of Russian collusion, his handshakes are normal for an assertive businessman, and he is in excellent health, mental and otherwise. His hairstyle is wierd, and anyone who has taken a course in marketing/business knows the power of repetition.

Delete While it is possible that this may be a valid topic in the future, at present we lack secondary sources that tie all these incidents together. Hence it fails notability, and instead is synthesis that connects incidents that Wikipedia editors have deemed relevant in order to prove a thesis, that Trump is a racist.

They are opinion pieces and hence fail reliability. Furthermore you don't have any sources that establish the weight of these opinions. In a similar vein there have been a number of commentators who have called Trump a fascist, but the History Channel contacted some of the top fascism experts to weigh in on the topic. Obviously an article based on what experts say would read differently from one based on what his detractors say. And it's the same here. TFD (talk) 00:23, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Who would you say are the experts that are suppose to "weigh in" on this topic? This is just an excuse to dismiss reliable sources. Lots and lots of reliable sources.Volunteer Marek (talk) 06:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The argument that such opinions are from RS is challenged and the challenge is supported by WP:NEWSORG. WP:BLP is also a consideration as are the associated 3 core content policies which are inseparable: NPOV, V and NOR. Of course, NPOV is the dominant policy in this case when speaking to the reliability of opinions published by biased news sources. Any news source that espouses a person is racist based on nothing more than journalistic and non-expert opinions, not to mention the strong possibility such opinions are tainted by political biases, the proper action to take would be to avoid them per WP:PUBLICFIGURE. ^{Atsme📞📧} 22:51, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The very term "race" is contested so much, and by some rejected as meaningless, that unless Trump were to write a coherent statement in which he explained what he thought of the term, we would be always hopelessly stuck in following heavily POV-pushing sources that at times speak across each other by using the same term for very different things.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Johnpacklambert, you did it: "The very term "race" is contested so much, and by some rejected as meaningless..." is the most hilarious statement of the day. Yes race as a biological construct is contested by many, esp. by many on the left, who argue that it is biologically meaningless. But sociologically it is not, and denying it is silly. That Trump doesn't understand the first thing about race in any kind of way doesn't mean he doesn't held well-publicized views on race; after all, he had no problem spotting them: "there's my African-American!" One might likewise argue that "religion" is a malleable term and regarded by many as meaningless (in a conceptual, intellectual sense), yet Religious views of Adolf Hitler exists here on Wikipedia, as do article on the religious views of many other celebs.

Attack pages (i.e. Pages that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced.) should be speedily deleted under WP:CSD#G10. Why haven't you nominated it as such? Also, are you able to back up you claim of WP:SYNTHESIS? The first four sources establish that there is a 45 year history of racially-provocative remarks and racially-motivated actions, as detailed throughout the article.- MrX 17:56, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, a few sources perform the synthesis all by themselves, by threading a few cherrypicked incidents from decades ago to build a narrative of "45 years of racism" (conveniently ignoring all events in Trump's life that show him acting in a racially-neutral way). Then some Wikipedians involved in this article have piled on with their own WP:SYN efforts, imbued with a WP:RGW attitude that transpires in talk page comments; that is not a great start to writing encyclopedic coverage of Trump's "racial views". We might some day write an article about Trump's statements and actions as they pertain to race relations, while including relevant comments from both supporters, opponents and neutral observers. This article is not that: it's a collection of opinions from people accusing Trump of racism, bigotry, antisemitism and whatnot, overreacting to every word he says because they hear "dog whistles": ergo it's still an WP:ATTACK page. The nominator also mentions WP:QUOTEFARM, which is another valid policy reason to delete this page. I'd add WP:TNT given the rather hopeless state of the current effort. — JFG ^talk 16:12, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don' see that the article is nearly as bad as some are making it out to be. Our guide for determining what content belongs on the article should be the comprehensive source articles that cover his history, good or bad. If there are enough sources that cover his "racially-neutral acts" in the context of Trump's racial views, then those can be included also. Any other issues like excessive quotes or synthesis should be worked out on the article talk page. This is no more of an attack page than Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler or Stalin and antisemitism. - Mr X 🖋 17:14, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler is the title of a 1943 government report; the article does not itself attempt to discuss Hitler's personality. Psychopathography of Adolf Hitler would be a more appropriate comparison. That article, as well as Stalin and antisemitism, is a legitimate encyclopedic exposé, informed by historiography, decades after the subject's death. On the other hand, Racial views of Donald Trump is motivated by the current news cycle about a controversial living president; as such, it will be harder to keep it neutral and dispassionate. Barring deletion, I predict a messy battleground. We shall see... — JFG ^talk 17:58, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, somewhat cautiously/reluctantly. I don't buy at all that an article topic "inviting" problematic edits is a reason for deletion, but I do think that we're often too quick to create forks of high-profile topics that receive a new wave of coverage of a different aspect of the subject in every news cycle. Among those possible forks, though, there is a whole lot more coverage of this subject -- over a long period of time and in depth -- than most others such that it seems like one we should have, regardless of how difficult it is and will always be to present this with a NPOV. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:53, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify my position in the nomination, Rhododendrites, I've added an explanation of why I feel the article invites trouble: because it's political, because it's "Racism!", because it's Trump - the terror trifecta that just begs controversy, POV, and bias in the way of content and tone. -- ψλ ● ✉ ✓ 17:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilkelvi: Thanks for adding. I do still reject the notions that (a) problematic editing/editors is a reason for deletion, since we have policies and guidelines to deal with that, and violating those policies (or threats thereof) should never be a way to affect content; and (b) that controversy or accusations of bias by either internal or external voices should likewise affect content that satisfies Wikipedia policies and guidelines (content which doesn't meet PAG should be fixed for that fact, not because it's controversial). I suppose there's an argument about a notable topic that cannot possibly satisfy NPOV, but I'm skeptical of that argument, and don't think this is one of them regardless. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 17:11, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, The article is pretty clearly a WP: coatrack for all the reasons people think he's a racist. A more appropriate name for that article would be "here's why Donald Trump is a racist". And I shouldn't have to point out how an article like that fails WP: NPOV. --Kyohyi (talk) 18:21, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, kinda the point is that lots of people do think he is a racist, and many sources detail that, and thus it is significant. Of course, we'd have to include the opinions of people who don't think he is racist. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And you do realize that we have a requirement to be impartial in our articles, and an article that is "here's why x is this bad thing" fails being impartial on form. It's like asking the question, When have you stopped beating your wife. --Kyohyi (talk) 18:56, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No it's actually nothing like asking that question (because there is a possible "good answer - no, not racist", unlike in the wife beating question). And "impartial" means "as covered in reliable sources", not "what some random Wikipedia user thinks is impartial". Indeed it would be NOT impartial NOT to have this article given how widespread the coverage in reliable sources is.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Impartiality doesn't mean "as covered in reliable sources", it means we present things impartially, and do not make arguments. Sources are not required to be impartial and can make arguments. An article structure such as "here's why x is this bad thing" is not impartial, and is making an argument, even if all content is sourced. It's why we don't have "Criticisms of" style articles either, they are inherently loaded and POV. --Kyohyi (talk) 19:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's pretty much what impartiality means on Wikipedia - reliable sources. And what article are you referring to when you characterize it as "here's why x is this bad thing"? Certainly not this one.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:40, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See my first comment. The article is pretty much written as "here's why trump is racist". And it's pretty clear you're conflating NPOV with V so there's no reason to try and explain impartiality further with you. --Kyohyi (talk) 19:49, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kyohy:, Are you suggesting that we should write about Trump's racial views without giving any examples of his racial views, even though several of the feature articles used as sources do exactly that. According to the essay you cited, a coatrack is an "article that ostensibly discusses its nominal subject, but instead focuses on another subject entirely". What exactly are these two subjects in this article that different such that you would refer to it as a coatrack? - MrX 22:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article isn't about Trump's racial views, the article is a number of situations in which people have called him Racist. The article would have to identify and focus on his views, y'know describe what they are. It doesn't, race is merely the hook for a coat rack of incidents. --Kyohyi (talk) 20:13, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This has signficant coverage in reliable sources. The claim of synthesis is just baffling; the article is not just a compilation of different comments or events — rather, a wide array of published material deals with the topic overall. Similar articles could be written on other presidents (for example, Woodrow Wilson). Surely we have an obligation to write this is a careful way. But we also have an equal obligation to include this topic, and in some detail. Trump is the president of the United States and what he has said and done, or reportedly said and done, is historically significant. Neutrality^talk 18:35, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As a deletionist, not even I can argue for the deletion of this article. President Trump's racist rhetoric has been widely covered not just by the American media, but by world media. As the President of the United States, he ran his campaign under the wagon of prejudice and racism. His racist views preceded his election as President and goes back several decades as evident in the reliable sources cited. I want to make it clear that this article is primarily about his racist views, not his policies in government. His racist views passes the notability test and have received worldwide coverage from independent reliable sources. What I am seeing here is WP:IDLI. This article is well referenced and his views have received worldwide coverage from multiple sources - each addressing his views in detail. If his racist views were not notable enough, they would not have been covered in the magnitude they were covered. I would also like to draw to the attention of the closing admin (and the community) the fact that, his racist views are not a one off or a slip of the tongue (if it was, I would have been more inclined to merge it to his article), but a pattern of behaviour that goes back decades, at least as far back as 1973 when the U.S. Department of Justice brought litigation against him, his father and their company. This pattern of behaviour continued up to his election and thereafter. This article is encyclopedic and I see nothing wrong with it as a stand alone other than "delete because I don't like it".

Delete- As per nom. This is not only a WP:POVFORK, but falls under WP:SYNTH by stringing together a number of different incidents in which Donald Trump said something that could be perceived as racist and then comes to the conclusion that Donald Trump is a racist. Each incident is already covered in relevant articles. Nothing in the article reflects Trump's own views, which are technically unknown outside of his quote "I am not a racist." Instead the article is about what other people believe his views are. The analysis section is not actually an analysis, its just attack quotes from people like Jim Acosta who has been at odds with Trump since day 1.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- The relevant issue is the notability of the general topic of Trump's views on race, not the contents of the current article.

FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 01:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not possible to accurately determine what his views on race are, then you can't have an article on his views on race, simple as that. The appropriate name for the article as it currently stands would be "Perception of Donald Trump as a racist by other people" and I don't think I even need to explain why an article with that title wouldn't stand.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:28, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is the reliable source that reports what Donald Trump actually thinks about race, as opposed to someone's opinion that he is racist? The only thing I can find is the quote of him saying that he's not a racist. You may or may not believe he is telling the truth, but it is the only statement by him about his racial views.

The question "What is the reliable source that reports what Donald Trump actually thinks about race, as opposed to someone's opinion that he is racist" misunderstands the issue completely. Per Wikipedia:Verifiability, we base articles on reliable sources, reporting what they say. We are not meant to be arguing with the sources or using our own views to criticize them, hence the distinction between reliable sources reporting "what Donald Trump actually thinks" and reliable sources reporting someone's opinion about what he thinks is not something we need to worry over. Of course we would give academic sources more weight than newspaper pieces, but that's another matter. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:57, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of you missed my point entirely. You can't title an article "Racial views of Donald Trump" and then write about someone else's view of him rather than his own views. The title of this article is not "Accusations of Donald Trump holding racist views"--Rusf10 (talk) 04:43, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per Wikipedia's policies, it is perfectly legitimate to write an article about Donald Trump's racial views based on what reliable sources say about those views.

It's not about liking it or not, the article title is extremely misleading. You just can't title the article one thing and then right about another. The reliable sources are not about his views, they are about other people's view of him. His views (which is supposed to be the topic of the article) cannot be verified outside of a couple quotes where he says he is not a racist, everything else is just speculation about his views.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please brush up on what a WP:SECONDARY source is. Sources written by other people which discuss his views are secondary sources, which is what we use. Statements from Trump himself are primary sources which we might mention but which are best used in the context of secondary sources. This is precisely what the article does. Your objection is based on a fundamental lack of understanding of how Wikipedia works.Volunteer Marek (talk) 05:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

re-name to Shitholegate and delete the other material. In principle a general article about his views on race works, but not in practice (the opposite of Wikipedia which does not work in principle but works in practice). Consider the lead paragraph following the lead sentence. “In 1973, he was sued by the U.S. Department of Justice for housing discrimination against black renters.[5][6][7]”. No, the family business was sued, for allegedly discriminating, which they denied, and there was a settlement with no admission of wrongdoing, so the quoted sentence is very slanted. “In 2016, he was accused of racism for insisting in 1989, and maintaining as late as 2016, that a group of black and Latino teenagers were guilty of raping a white woman in the 1989 Central Park jogger case even after, in 2002, Matias Reyes, a serial rapist in prison, confessed to raping the jogger alone, and DNA evidence confirmed his guilt.[8][9][10]”. There had been a confession, perhaps coerced, by a guy Trump said was guilty, which is a huge fact in Trump’s favor that is omitted, plus what’s the race of Reyes, is he lily white? So again our sentence is slanted. And, our Wikipedia article about the case says, “Between 9 and 10 pm on the night of April 19, 1989, approximately 30 teenage perpetrators committed several attacks, assaults, and robberies in the northernmost part of Manhattan's Central Park” so why are we implying that only one man was involved? “In 2011, he became the leading proponent of the already discredited conspiracy theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the US, and he repeated the false claim for the next five years”. Trump’s main point was that Obama should release his birth certificate, and after Obama did so Trump and many millions of Americans looked at it and concluded Obama was eligible to the presidency. So the lead looks quite slanted to me, and omits anything that might lead a reader to think, hey, maybe he’s not a racist. I take no position about whether he is or not, but this BLP obviously takes a position and pushes it quite hard.

Trump was proud of having gotten the certificate released and later reminded people about it. None of it would have happened if more than one of Obama’s parents had been a U.S. citizen, which this article of course does not mention because the POV being pushed here is that it was all a racial issue rather than a citizenship issue.

Chetsford (talk) 07:29, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is false - there is a TON of "multiple RS connecting them under the common theme of the article". For example [70], [71], [72], [73], [74], [75], [76], etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Volunteer Marek (talk) 07:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep reluctantly - The only reason this "article" (too many issues to genuinely call it that) was created rests solely on Trump's recent "sh*thole" remark; naturally, enough editors will believe this news story needs a page in some form. However, I'm not entirely sure if the article creator even knows what this article is about. An actual article about Trump's racial views would have the reported views of, well, Trump, not every account when someone believes he was being racist -- all loosely strung together. We may as well call this article "Instances when Donald Trump was racist" because that is the POV being pressed here. Would actually waiting for scholarly sources a few years from now have ultimately resulted in an actual encyclopedic article? Absolutely, but unfortunately that is not the encyclopedia editors seem to want to work toward.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:22, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming you have not actually read the sources. SYNTH applies to when editors connect a+b+c etc. It does not apply when RS do the same. And since there are multiple RS that explicitly connect his racist acts/views over the years - going back to his refusing to rent property to black people - its not a valid argument.

Well if you read the sources that explicitly linked the racial attacks, policies, statements then you don't understand WP:SYNTH. Article should be 'Donald Trump and Racism' based on the content.

"This article does not do a good job of conveying his stated views, but seems to be media analysis of some of his statements."

Keep There are several cleanup things that need to happen, but editors at the BLP/N discussion have noted that there are RSes that have done such lists of events where Trump appeared racist, justify that this list is reasonable. But I do concern about its presentation that should be broader about how he has seemed racist (from sources) his career, and that the same type of concerns we worry about with "Criticism of X" articles be kept here - eg , if Trump or other appropriate voices have countered these claims, this needs to be included to be neutral, etc. --Masem (t) 17:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually pleasantly surprised to see that this article exists, as I've been stumbling on extensive sources that would be worthwhile for inclusion on this subject, but I never bothered adding them to the existing 'Political positions of Donald Trump' article (or its forks) because the subject is too long to tack onto already-enormous articles. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 22:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have been a regular at the Donald Trump biography page and related pages for several years. Repeatedly during that time there have been suggestions to say something about his (let’s call them) controversial views and actions toward minorities. Up to now those suggestions have always been rejected as undue or inappropriate. Yes, here on “liberal” Wikipedia, consensus has kept this kind of material out of Donald Trump for several years. But with the explosion of coverage over the past week, consensus had to change in the face of the overwhelming amount and intensity of Significant Coverage by Multiple Reliable Sources. That coverage included not just “I condemn this” quotes or opinion pieces, but multiple mainstream pieces pulling together his long history of such comments into a coherent narrative. This has transformed from an occasional incident into a well documented pattern. There was once a time to object to this article; that time is past. --MelanieN (talk) 02:37, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are definitely a few editors that I see scanning the talk pages that appear acting as righting great wrongs (eg "Trump is a very bad and evil person, we need to point out every flaw"-type logic), and that's not helpful to the development of the article. But there ware also several editors without any apparent bias goal, and from this AFD and BLP/N, there's definitely objective reasons to keep the article given the weight sources have given the topic. There's a lot of proverbial landmines in how the article can be built, and things that should be done, but that's cleanup, and not an AFD reason. --Masem (t) 14:44, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We do want independent sources for notability/verifyability and NPOV, regardless of bias.

Again, this is not the case here; the source range is very broad. --Masem (t) 15:16, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That's an interesting point, possibly one unique to this BLP subject. The words of the President of the US have historically carried a great deal of weight, and when this one yells "fake news" and targets WaPo and CNN specifically, it can color their coverage of him in turn and make it less reliable for use in the Wikipedia. What happens when or if the President widens that scope, perhaps even deliberately so? It would become some sort of meta-well-poisoning. We are truly living in strange times. TheValeyard (talk) 17:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Masem, the media negativity reaches far beyond just WaPo and CNN, and I imagine that after the "Fake News Awards" are announced tonight, (surely it's a comedy), the current 90% negativity may jump another 2%. Some members of MSM published articles about Trump's negative media coverage: NPR, Chicago Tribune, Washington Times. The problem with this article is the misalignment with WP:BALANCE and WP:WEIGHT, but you could say it maintains a sense of consistency with most of the other Trump articles in that it cites primarily news sources, and includes allegations based on unproven media opinions, inunendo, misinformation/disinformation, political bias and speculation, such as the Trump-Russia collusion. Based on my own experiences, attempts to add factual material citing center-right sources in a Trump article may require a bit of wizardry. If we're going to create POV Forks based on color, why not focus on the color Trump likes most...GREEN?! 😂 ^{Atsme📞📧} 18:45, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And based on my experience what YOU consider "center right" sources are wacky far right conspiracy websites, and what you consider "leftist" sources are traditional, centrist outlets.

Please look at my comment again: I stressed that this current article was fine because a broad number of sources have pointed to this that there are sufficient independent sources to overcome a bias from a dependent source. Yes, many show clear dislike for Trump, but not all are as engaged with fighting Trump as some like the WaPost that Trump has specifically called out and are not happy with being called out. I only suggested a hypothetical situation in response to OID's comment about bias, where if it were only dependent sources, like the WaPost due to this, being used for sourcing and there was no other sourcing, this would be a problematic article due to the dependent bias. But I am asserting that this is not an issue with the current article as is; there may be broad media bias, but it is sufficiently covered through independent sources. --Masem (t) 19:43, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also to reiterate from my previous !vote - there are no question some content issues, and some POV lines being crossed. But AFD is not cleanup - the question asked is that is the topic of Donald Trump's racial views notable and can be pulled together without engaging in synthesis, and the answer is yet - there are sources from RSes that cover Trump's racial views throughout his career. I fully agree not every incident on this page currently is appropriate, and it needs a more neutral approach, but that's not the question to ask at AFD. --Masem (t) 19:50, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Masem, but I was asking in the context of WP:Attack page which states: ...a page, in any namespace, that exists primarily to disparage or threaten its subject; or biographical material that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced or poorly sourced. Also, the argument could be made per WP:BIASED Editors should also consider whether the bias makes it appropriate to use in-text attribution to the source, as in "Feminist Betty Friedan wrote that...", "According to the Marxist economist Harry Magdoff...," or "Conservative Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater believed that...". Read the lede. I'm hard-pressed to see this article's purpose as anything other than to disparage. Further, If the subject of the article is notable, but the existing page consists primarily of attacks against the subject or a living person, and there is no neutral version in the history to revert to, then the attack page should be deleted and an appropriate stub article should be written in its place. This is especially important if the page contains biographical material about a living person. I just felt the policy presented a pretty convincing argument. ^{Atsme📞📧} 20:41, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It has a very easy potential to be an attack page if editors aren't careful, and I fully agree there's content that should be added, as we would with a "Criticism of X" article, to make sure that we're presented the best set of views from reliable sources including any counter-points made by Trump or spokespersons. --Masem (t) 22:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If Religious views of Adolf Hitler exists, I see no reason why Racial views of Donald Trump should be deleted.

Huge difference between that article and this one. Hitler's religious views are well-documented through his speeches and writings. His views have been studied by academics for years.

You're being slightly disingenuous, the article is based on "a bunch of media reports" dating back to 1973, not just a random collection of recent reports.

We can't keep jumping hula hoops just because an article is too sensitive and offends your sense and sensibilities. This project is called Wikipedia, not "Nanny-pedia."

One of which mentions left bias. Is this for real? i am not an American and do not have time for the left or right silly games some play down there.

If your trying to make the argument that because your not American, your opinion must be neutral, that's garbage. I don't care what country you're from or what your political beliefs are, but you still have a clear bias here when you are comparing Trump to Hitler. The issue is biased sources are being used that blur opinion and fact. Like this Washington Post source that is used in the article [77]. The article attributes a quote to Trump as reported by "several people briefed on the meeting". The Post does not reveal who these people are. That's complete journalist garbage. And I know someone is going to say "We at wikipedia regard the Washington Post as a reliable source. How dare you attack them" To be clear, I am not suggesting never using the Washington Post as a source, but that particular article is junk. How as a journalist do you quote someone when you yourself did not hear the quote and you won't even name the people who claimed that they did? Because of that article and a few others quoting Trump through unnamed sources, we're now told it is a fact and using a word like "allegedly" is a misrepresentation because reliable sources are reporting it as a direct quote. The media relies a lot on unnamed sources , especially in recent years. I don't know what Trump said, I wasn't there, its very possible that he said exactly what was quoted, but no one knows (except for the unnamed sources, who absolutely should be named in this article). The person who wrote the Washington Post article really doesn't know either, but they want you to believe that they do. The "shithole" incident was the inspiration for this article and the other incidents (which each taken by themselves do not necesarily show racism) are strung toether as WP:SYNTH to come to the conclusion that Donald Trump is a racist (something that you yourself clearly believe). The people using wikipedia as a political tool are the ones who wrote this article.--Rusf10 (talk) 07:11, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the initial report of anonymous sources, there were later named sources 1. Senator Durbin has been quoted as agreeing that Trump had said shithole. 2. Senator Tim Scott said that Senator Graham confirmed the media reports of shithole as basically accurate. starship.paint ~ KO 07:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Rusf10. Wikipedia does not go by facts/truth or what you believe the facts are. We go by sources here, reliable sources at that. By your own rationale, you are pushing OR. If you have a problem with the sources, take it to the appropriate board.

@DHeyward, Emotional blackmail does not work on Afd and certainly does not work with me. I find it a real turn off and you won't get any sympathy from me. If you have a problem understanding my statement, I rather you ask me for clarification rather than misrepresenting me above and below. The key word here is "views" - notable views at that, and both views are notable. As I and other editors have noted, those screaming for the deletion of this article are merely doing so because they don't like it. You have just proven this point. I do not have time for such foolishness. If you are going to ask for an article to be deleted, do it on policy, not on emotions. I have no time for emotional rants. I do not have time to be listening to sob stories. If you want an article deleted, convince me based on policy, not emotional blackmail. This is Afd.

Delete as obvious attack page. It's a misnomer and an example of opinion cruft and WP:NOT. The accurate conglomeration is really "What other people think Trumps views of race are." It's as fact based as such other articles like "Race and Intelligence" and come from the basest views of contributors attracted to the topic. There are no winners, least of all the reader, and if Trump has policies regarding civil rights, immigration or other programs that touch on race, they should be integrated into those articles rather than arguing (as I just read in the discussion) how it relates to Hitler. If there's a corollary to Godwin's law for Wikipedia, it's that an article should be deleted when the discussion devolves into mentioning Hitler. It's the clearest sign that a topic is not based on sources, facts or truth but feelings of editors supported by opinions they agree with. --DHeyward (talk) 06:14, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And none of that overcomes WP:POVFORK and WP:COATRACK. The divisive nature may explain it's creation, but that wasn't the policy based reason I gave for deletion. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 18:46, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dennis Brown, I don't see that either of those apply. A POV fork is a fork designed to advance the POV of an editor or group of editors. A google news search for "donald trump" "racism" (link) returns over 2.5 million hits. Bear in mind that this is a news search and both terms are required to be in the result in order to return it. Even a much more strict term, like "Trump is racist" (link) returns well over a hundred thousand hits. And again; that's a news search, not a general search.

As to it being a coatrack... A coatrack is an article that is not actually about it's nominal subject. What, exactly, do you think this article is about, if not about the racial views of Donald Trump? That is a serious question, by the way, not a rhetorical device. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 19:40, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Dennis Brown in that POVFORK and COATRACK are indeed issues. I agree for the most part with Masem when he said above, "there are no question some content issues, and some POV lines being crossed." I presume he was referring to balance; however, WP:BALANCE states (my bold underline): The idea expressed in meta:Eventualism—that every Wikipedia article is a work in progress, and that it is therefore okay for an article to be temporarily unbalanced because it will eventually be brought into shape—does not apply to biographies. Given their potential impact on biography subjects' lives, biographies must be fair to their subjects at all times. This article is noncompliant with BLP. In its current state it is an attack page beginning with the first sentence written in Wikivoice: "...has a history of making racially-charged remarks and taking actions perceived as racially-motivated." Opinions are not facts, and we don't write opinions in Wikivoice. Per policy it should either be deleted or reduced to a stub until a neutral version can be written. The lede is what shows up in the Google searches, and as MOS confirms, a reader may not read beyond the lede. Full sections in the body are cherrypicked and include sections that don't represent the "Donald Trump racial views", rather they represent the opinions of others. If the article is not deleted, at the very least it should be retitled, reduced to a stub per policy, and rewritten in compliance with NPOV including in-text attribution to the source as relative to the questionable biased sources that have been cited. ^{Atsme📞📧} 22:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, so much wrong in the above. 1. He has a history of making 'racially charged' and outright racist statements. This is backed up by multiple reliable sources. It can be stated as fact in wikivoice if we felt like it. As it stands its almost always attributed. This is not a BLP issue. 2. A POVFORK is where an article is created to fork off a POV that is counter to either what is in the article or the general consensus of reliable sources. It is not when the same POV in the article is expanded in a larger article. Unless you are going to genuinely claim that the consensus is not that Trump makes racist statements, has supported racist political policies and has been accused over a period of 30 years of racially-related actions? 3. COATRACK is where an article is supposedly about one thing but is actually filled with information about another. This is clearly not the case here. 4. BALANCE is where reliable sources contradict each other. Again this requires that there actually is disagreement in reliable sourcing about his racial views. So to sum up: You dont understand POVFORK or COATRACK, BLP is satisfied by reliable sourcing and widespread coverage. And you seem to be saying that the various events in the article are either not racist, or that there is a parity of reliable sourcing that agrees they are not racist. Only in death does duty end (talk) 22:18, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I feel I should point out that when someone rebuts a number of claims, responding by saying that you agree with those claims does nothing to support them. As to the actual argument you presented, allow me to summarize what OiD and others have said countless times here: Donald trump absolutely and without question has made a large number of racially charged remarks. That is -in no way- an opinion. If you disagree, you are denying reality. "Donald Trump is racist" could be argued to be an opinion, as we have no way of proving that his thoughts align with his words and actions, but for all intents and purposes, that is also a well-supported fact. Despite that, you might note that the article never actually goes so far as to call Trump racist. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 22:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but it is stated policy in WP:NPOV (my bold underline): Avoid stating opinions as facts. Usually, articles will contain information about the significant opinions that have been expressed about their subjects. However, these opinions should not be stated in Wikipedia's voice. Rather, they should be attributed in the text to particular sources, or where justified, described as widespread views, etc. For example, an article should not state that "genocide is an evil action", but it may state that "genocide has been described by John X as the epitome of human evil." That is policy - thank you and good day. ^{Atsme📞📧} 23:41, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you didn't actually respond to what I said. It's not an opinion that Trump has made racially charged statements. It's a verifiable fact.

Classic double entendre - JD: "I got slapped with a trout!" Friend asks: "Where?" JD responds: "Down by the river." Friend asks, "No, where on your body were you slapped?" Here's another thought: Politician "A" says, "Even as we are a nation of immigrants, we’re also a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous." Opposition responds: "You're a racist!"

This page only tells the following: (a) the subject made such and such comments (yes, he said it; this is a matter of fact), and (b) his comments have received such and such response from the public, media, other politicians, etc. (yes, they said it, this is also a matter of fact; no one tells the opinions are the absolute truth). In addition to the statements/views, the page should also includes materials about certain actual policies by the administration, and these policies are also a matter of fact, even if some of them have been eventually rejected. Surprisingly, it does not include much about the actual policies. I think it should. My very best wishes (talk) 18:50, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My very best wishes, the question was simply whether or not the opposition's response, "You're a racist!" is a statement of fact or is it opinion based on Politician A's comment about law-breaking undocumented workers being held accountable?

The "delete" have thus far been highly unconvincing, and as strongly partisan as any split I've seen, with such insanely obvious falsehoods as claiming that the article comes to conclusions it doesn't come to, that the article is a work of synthesis, and that the existence of the article is an attack on Trump. If Trump hadn't opened his big mouth and made so many objectively (and so many more arguably) racist comments in the public view over the course of his life, then the RSes would never have given it so much coverage that we couldn't help but write an article on it. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 17:02, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes ultimately many article particularly on politicians will be large if we include every single thing that blew up at one time. We cannot, do not and should not include every such things but need to keep stuff which are most relevant. We can use RS to help use determine such. For example, if almost no RS mention the thing after 6 months, then it's likely not of great relevance. And if you accept that consensus is required to keep every single thing that blew up at one time, even if everyone has forgotten about them in 6 months, then you accept that me saying that I do not believe that we should be including such things is one sign there may be no consensus.

We can start with the fact that this article is not about the views of Trump rather it is about the views of his detractors who consider Trump a racist based on what they believe is racism. Those opinions have been published in biased news sources by journalists who are part of the 90% who have been writing mostly negative articles about Trump, most apparently for political reasons, which is why we should more closely follow the guidelines in WP:NEWSORG. I've already provided the applicable policies that I believe warrants a Speedy Delete of this article per WP:ATTACK, although some don't interpret those policies or this article the same way.

Race still refers to one's color, not one's ethnicity, so calling someone a racist using ethnicity, nationality, or religious ideology as the basis for racism is inaccurate, and may contribute to some of the editorial disagreements in this article. Also, comparing the prevalent views of prior centuries to the 21st Century is an apples to oranges comparison, because morality and humanity have consistently evolved. Women (all races) are no longer considered chattel in most countries. Slavery (all races) has been abolished, or at least it's considered "illegal" in most countries, but the world is still dealing with human trafficking (slavery indiscriminate of race). ^{Atsme📞📧} 19:02, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The only arguments I'm seeing against the article are on POV grounds. Since NPOV isn't a reason to delete, the claim that it's a biased article is either IDONTLIKEIT or POVFORK. I don't buy that it's a POV fork. Donald Trump receives a lot of media attention as a quick look at Template:Donald Trump will show. The general practice is that when one aspect of his life gets too much attention for the main article, per WP:SPINOFF, we create a new article to deal with that. That's what happened here. That it happens to be an aspect of his life that reflects poorly upon him is not reason to delete.

Teodor von Burg[edit]

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

Not notable. Von Burg is categorized here as a mathematician. If so, then he must have a list of profound and recognized contributions to mathematics. As far as I see, he entered Exeter College undergraduate studies in 2012 but there is no information whether he finished it, no knowledge about distinction or recognitions particular to his study.

No one is a notable mathematician for just being successful at secondary school math level competitions.

His success at IMO is not correctly valued. Von Borg never won the first place. The highest one was the third place in 2010. So, if we give gold medal to the competition winner, the silver to the runner up, then this student would have no more than a single bronze medal in five runs. The criterion to win gold was to get no less than 30 out of 42 points. The real IMO competition star was Ciprian Manolescu, who participated 3 times, and every time he scored perfect 42 points (already noticed by Arimakat).

All those awards are no more than local moral incentives given to a promising student.

Keep I think that this article should be kept because it meets the requirements of policy. According to IMO's official website he has won four gold medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad, which is the mathematics field most important world event, widely described as the "most prestigious mathematical competitions in the world" and vaguely equal to the Olympics, which is why it's called an Olympiad. He was also won a silver medal and a bronze medal. All these medals can be verified. He is also second in the hall of fame, making him the IMO's second most successful participant ever. A short google search also shows many people describing him as the most successful IMO participant ever, although this is not quite accurate. But then the nominators comments are not accurate either, a gold medal is a gold medal. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 21:58, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also I will point out that this article was put forward to be deleted before and kept, and the points made then are still valid. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 22:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment@Ilyina Olya Yakovna My statements are verifiable, therefore accurate. My main point "No one is a notable mathematician for just being successful at secondary school math level competitions." holds.--BTZorbas (talk) 23:08, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

However describing gold medals from what is widely described as one of the worlds most prestigious mathematics competitions as "local moral incentives given to a promising student" is not the finest example of an accurate statement. Nor is your hypothetical analogy about the medals particularly helpful since I got totally confused and thought you were saying something completely different. Also I think it is unfair to say that he is no longer notable because he is now the second most successful participant at the International Mathematical Olympiad, which is the main reason for deletion, since it was clearly decided to keep the article when he was the most successful participant. This being according to the International Mathematical Olympiad's own rankings, and not your own undisclosed personal ranking of what a notable mathematician is. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 23:27, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment@Ilyina Olya YakovnaPlease, stop distorting my statements. I said "All those awards are no more than local moral incentives given to a promising student." Search for the "award" word in the biography. Medals are not awards nor I ever equate these two things.--BTZorbas (talk) 23:59, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In the English language the word "medal" is a synonym of "award" with near identical meaning.^[82][83][84] You should have specified what awards you were talking about rather than vaguely stating "those awards" as you did not mention any awards other than his gold medals in what you wrote. English is not my first language but I feel you have written your comment in a most unclear way and without saying why exactly Teodor von Burg is not notable. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 00:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment@Ilyina Olya Yakovna Please, stop talking nonsense. English language, as any spoken language, is context dependent. I've used these two words ("medal", "award") exclusively in the biography context. The other two users who commented my proposal did not find anything wrong with the proposal.--BTZorbas (talk) 00:37, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly my complaint, you don't give any context, you just write about his IMO medals then make a random comment about awards and expect everyone to know what you mean.

But to break it down. He has:

4 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze medals at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
3 gold, 3 silver medals at the Balkan Mathematical Olympiad.
2 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze medals at the Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad.
He is the most successful ever competitor of the Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad.
He is the second most successful ever competitor of the International Mathematical Olympiad. (first place for 3 years).
Record youngest competitor of the Junior Balkan Mathematical Olympiad, Balkan Mathematical Olympiad and International Mathematical Olympiad.
He has taken part in 57 other mathematical competitions, with: 44 first, 11 second, and 2 third prizes.
Saint Sava Award, for his contribution and commitment in the field of education.
He was awarded the Charter of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
Karić Brothers Award, in the field of scientific and research work.
By my count, ten reliable sources in the article/identified.
Another six or so non-English sources, being news reports and biographies that no one has included.
A great many of mentions, mostly saying how he is the world's best young mathematician.

So really my point is why do you think this is not good enough? What possible reason to delete this article is there? It is very clear to me that he is notable according to your policy entitled WP:GNG and the other policy called WP:BIO which says the same. You are just hiding the facts behind vagueness that cannot be understood and pretending your concept of who is a notable mathematician is relevant when the policy clearly disagrees with you.

Strong delete Being a student competitor in math is just not a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:00, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not by itself, but what about being a world-class competitor in the most renowned international maths competition in conjunction with having received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject? Having written a book is also not a sign of notability, but that is not a particularly good reason for deleting Lemony Snicket. --Lambiam 11:11, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Lambiam The most renowned international SECONDARY SCHOOL maths LEVEL competition? Right? That competition is certainly a notable event, but neither of the competitors is a notable mathematician. Right?--BTZorbas (talk) 15:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BTZorbas, I think you are confusing what is a notable person according to the policy with your opinion of what is a notable mathematician according to an external guide designed for adults, probably professors at that. There is no policy specially for mathematician's on Wikipedia, I have looked very carefully. Also for Wikipedia notability it does not matter that he is not an adult because his achievements are out of the ordinary. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 15:33, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You might like to look at this essay. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:13, 17 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]

You might want to actually read WP:NPROF. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 01:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have done that and contributed to several of its archived talk pages. What should I be looking for? Xxanthippe (talk) 01:52, 17 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Well the WP:NPROF policy says it only applies to academics/professors and this person is not an academic and has never worked as one, certainly not as a professor. Then you say that the article "Fails WP:Prof, nothing else.". Yet in the WP:NPROF policy it clearly says:

From WP:NPROF.
This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines, such as WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:AUTH etc. and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the General Notability Guideline.[1] It is possible for an academic not to be notable under the provisions of this guideline but to be notable in some other way under one of the other subject-specific notability guidelines.

Therefore your recommendation to delete, based on the fact that this article fails an optional policy which does not apply to the article seems really strange to me. Because if the article fails nothing else as you say that should be a reason to keep. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 11:01, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ilyina Olya Yakovna Could you, please, refrain from further distortions of other people comments and Wikipedia rules misinterpretations? The guideline segment you quoted above talks about notability of AN ACADEMIC NOT ABOUT A SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENT NOTABILITY!--BTZorbas (talk) 12:56, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what I am saying. What part of,

Delete. So far as I can see his work is cited by nobody. Not a single citation on GS. Fails WP:Prof, nothing else. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:31, 16 January 2018 (UTC).

has any basis in policy or any relevance to this person whatsoever? Sorry for being a perfectionist. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 13:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete, because this is confounding the (possibly already questionable) values of undergraduate contests and their notability, like some Olympics or Olympiads (a misconception of meaning as a contest per se), themselves and the notability of their "medalists", who still have to show their notability on the job. (Does "least non-notable" exist, and is a notable property therefore?) Purgy (talk) 07:40, 18 January 2018 (UTC)′[reply]
Weak keep (!vote altered per TimTempleton - cultural differences) WP:GNG doesn't require that editors spend time analyzing if somebody is important or not. It simply requires we find if enough coverage in independent reliable sources exists. It undoubtedly does, therefore specific sub guidelines from WP:BIO or others are mostly irrelevant - they are there to help make a decision but shouldn't be abused to delete something simply because one has never heard of it or because subject doesn't meet one specific sub-criteria which might not even apply. If this were the one-time winner of some competition, then yes delete per WP:BLP1E. However, article subject has received sustained coverage for multiple events and, per WP:ANYBIO, "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." - The 'Charter of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts', if not the gold medals (which I agree are probably not that important), is clearly such an significant award, being awarded by a national level institution. Judging the intent behind the award is WP:OR and does not render the award moot. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 16:30, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Ilyina Olya Yakovna alias 198.84.253.202 Yet another misinterpretation of the Wikipedia guidelines from the same person. WP:ANYBIO states:
2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field.
Von Burg is categorized as a mathematician. If so, then where is the list of his contributions "in his specific field"? I found none.--BTZorbas (talk) 20:53, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pings don't work for IPs.WP:ANYBIO states "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included [emphasis mine]" - there is no requirement to meet all conditions. Of course, it is possible that a subject meets the criteria and is yet not notable, however given the repeated coverage in RS I don't think that is the case here. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 21:01, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BTZorbas, what are you talking about? This person has made a massive impact to Serbian mathematics, he is the best known junior mathematics competitor of his generation. This is explained many times in ten national newspapers over several years. And there is no doubt this will remain on the historical record for some time, especially if he goes on to do mathematics after graduation, because it is an achievement that is out of the ordinary. I seriously doubt you are doing anything but trying to hold up your nomination now, seriously there is no shame in making the article better rather than deleting it. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 21:30, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BTZorbas, what do you base your accusation on that 198.84.253.202 and Ilyina Olya Yakovna are the same editor? Merely on the fact that they agree on this issue? You cannot wildly fling accusations around without specific evidential basis. --Lambiam 16:25, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Provisional delete~~. First, let's clarify some things. He certainly doesn't pass WP:PROF, but that's irrelevant if he passes WP:GNG. The nomination says that he's listed as a mathematician but is not notable as a mathematician, but again, this is not an argument for deletion (at most, it might be an argument for removal from mathematician categories).
But does he pass GNG? At a cursory look, I really don't think so. The hits that are being adduced as evidence seem mainly to be what you would call "passing mentions" (e.g., a listing in a table of competition winners). To support notability, you'd need the source to say, at a minimum, something beyond the fact that he won. I don't think we want to establish a regime of presumptive notability just for winning math contests, even prestigious ones.
I said "provisional" because I could certainly have missed some more meaty coverage in the sea of trivial hits. If that's the case, the defenders should narrow down the refs being adduced as evidence and point us to the strongest ones. Also, this is a case where he may not be notable now, but there's a strong possibility he'll become notable in the future, and the deletion should carry no prejudice against re-creation in that case. --Trovatore (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Trovatore: I show these articles so that it is easier for you and you don't need to look at all the links or search on Google, where there is more, although it is mostly more of the same, but from different sources. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 22:21, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. 19 is an interview and No. 26 seems to contain some biographical data - that seems to satisfy the criteria. A good number are indeed simply lists of winners. Agree with the remark against prejudice in case this gets deleted (though one must take care not to get into WP:CRYSTAL territory, unlike Ilyina above). WP seems to have also a lacking coverage of subjects which are not British or American (Battle of Charleroi is an example I'm working on - compare with the excellent coverage on closely related Battle of Mons which involves British troops). As I said above, subject also meets criteria 1 of WP:ANYBIO for winning a nationally prestigious award. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 21:59, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my !vote. It does look like there are sources with more than trivial mentions (note to User:Ильина Оля Яковна: sometimes less is more — if you had started with those, rather than spamming in tens of trivial hits, it would have been more convincing from the start). As to whether the sources are "reliable", I don't have any reason to think they're not, but I also have no familiarity with them. So I'll abstain for now. --Trovatore (talk) 12:33, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lack of substantive independent sources that are actually about the subject - unsurprising given his age. WP:TOOSOON, at best. Guy (Help!) 00:50, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I give up, even listing 5 articles that are only about this person, people still pay no attention and say it should be deleted, it seems Wikipedia is biased against young people. I will not watch this page now. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 00:59, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP isn't biased against anything - editors are (Criticism_of_Wikipedia#Systemic_bias_in_coverage). Again, as I said above, coverage of a sourced topic shouldn't be deleted simply because it is something distant to most editors. The sad thing about discussions is that people don't always take the time to read every comment, often making summary judgements with little basis in either sources or policy (often misunderstood). If it was just me, I'd say ignore WP:GNG when it prevents you adding a good article about something, and this is a case were WP:IAR should apply even if there are more persons who say "delete" (ignoring this isn't a vote and that restatement of the same opinion isn't an argument). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 01:45, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re above "national level award" + non-trivial mention in RS 198.84.253.202 (talk) 21:57, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - I went to his Serbian Wikipedia page [[85]], to see what kind of sourcing there was, since the limited sourcing for this English article and a Google search in English clearly point to a delete. I don't read Serbian, but was able to identify four news articles from Serbian publications, of which three were just about him. Amidst a handful of dead links, the rest are announcements about the math olympiad tournament and promotional fliers. That's just not quite enough, especially when you consider how because of cultural differences, this news would be of much more interest to Serbian media than to the US. (Anyone here know that the US was one of two teams ever to get perfect team scores at the Olympiad? Me neither. Fails WP:GNG. Probably also WP:TOOSOON, since there's no current scholarly news coming from Oxford, but that may change and this can be revisited. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 00:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- WP:TOOSOON: the subject is not yet notable per review of available sources. High-school level competitions are an insufficient claim of significance. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:02, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But the subject is not claimed to be notable as an academic - and other claims to notability include national level awards which meet WP:ANYBIO (and judging the intent behind has no basis in any policy). 198.84.253.202 (talk) 02:15, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
