Indian Academy of science lists his name as (https://www.ias.ac.in/describe/fellow/Krishnan,_Prof._Rappal_Sangameswar) Prof. Rappal Sangameswar Krishnan and not as Rappal Sangameswaraier Krishnan

Keep: and that's why we have the redirect. Someone obviously mis-spelled it here and it is mis-spelled in plenty of other places, so the redirect is potentially useful. Certainly not harmful. You can tag is as a mis-spelling if you want to be explicit. Lithopsian (talk) 19:36, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy procedural close, this is a redirect not an article, so should be listed at WP:RFD not here. Polyamorph (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dartmouth–Yale football rivalry

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

Another in a series of entirely-unsourced Ivy League football "rivalry" articles dating to March 2016. WP:NRIVALRY says "Sports rivalries are not inherently notable" and defers to WP:GNG. GNG states "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." Currently there are zero supporting citations, so fails GNG. Searches do not return significant coverage in independent sources to meet GNG standards ("significant coverage").

Non-GNG callouts:

site:newspapers.com is good for sourcing significant historical coverage
site:nytimes.com is another
Modify as helpful, but neither returned much for me.
site:dartmouthsports.com yale rivalry returned some contemporary non-football matches (primary source issues aside)
site:yalebulldogs.com dartmouth rivalry did not return much UW Dawgs (talk) 23:49, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per G4 (Regular) Delete I don’t see this as a 1E situation as she competed in two pageants 3 years apart, but regardless she doesn’t pass WP:BIO, no significant coverage in third party sources. ... CJ [a Kiwi] in Oz 00:28, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CJinoz: Not a comment on the discussion, just pointing out that the content is different between the current and deleted versions. To be honest, the deleted version was far more developed than the current one (not to mention it was 3259 bytes - about 64.6% - larger). --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 16:09, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, I admit I overlooked that nuance of G4, although I would have assumed the content was similar enough, apparently not. I was surprised that the nomination didn't mention the previous deletion, I made the mistake of trying a friendly heads up on the nominator's talk page and got my head bitten off. ...

Keep. Salas meets and surpasses the notability index. Not only she won titles of significant distinction, but also gained notoriety afterward. Caballero/Historiador^⎌
Caballero1967, you might wish to reconsider your words here. There is nothing whatsoever in the source you proffered that indicates she's done anything to gain "notoriety", which, in case you didn't realize it, is a charged, negative word. All your source (btw, a passing mention that has no bearing on notability) verifies is that indeed, she has never won a state level pageant, which, even if she had, would also not show notability. Your words are very close to a BLP violation. John from Idegon (talk) 18:09, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Well you're incorrect there, she won Miss Nevada Teen USA, competed at Miss Teen USA 2004 & made the top five, assumed the Miss Nevada USA title and also made the top five at Miss USA 2007. That still doesn't mean she meets BIO but just a correction to your statement that she "never won a state level pageant". Also @Caballero1967: it wasn't Salas who gained "notoriety" it was the original winner that year Katie Rees, Salas just took over the title after she was dethroned. Article states that clearly in the only sentence about her. ... CJ [a Kiwi] in Oz 22:38, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@John from Idegon: Wuao! Thanks for your spirited (and perhaps condescending?) chance to expand, and @CJinoz:, for pointing to Salas’ winning of titles (which should have included the 2004 one). Btw, according to some, Salas’ notoriety in the article derives from the circumstances that led to her enthroning (a weak argument for me). Still, I think the stub article needs serious help.

In short, 1) she holds two prominent titles (2004 Miss Teen Nevada and 2007 Miss Nevada); 2) the way she won the last title set her apart and generated buzz (e.g., “Rees was replaced by Helen Salas, who went on to earn the fourth runner-up spot at Miss USA.”); 3) her amorous experiences catapulted her again to the top of the media buzz (i.e., International Business Times and Daily Mail), plus other minor mentions. Caballero/Historiador^⎌

Just holding titles isn't enough to establish notability, we need significant coverage in third-party reliable sources. The Daily Mail is not a reliable source, and gossip stuff doesn't really hit either point. "Buzz" does not equal notability ... CJ [a Kiwi] in Oz 21:11, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CJinoz: I used “buzz” in a more general way than you did. And the 2017 consensus on the Daily Mail (which you linked) also notes that when combined with others, it may actually be used as a reliable source. Nevertheless, for me, the argument for deletion is faulty because there is actually significant coverage here and from reliable publications (e.g., Review-Journal, a reliable source according to this discussion).

The most important point of the argument: the news of the affair and manner in which Salas won the 2006 Miss Nevada title crossed various national and language barriers, with more examples than I care to show at this moment. And, to add to her exceptionality, she won, not one, but two titles, which generated its own media. The first point alone should satisfy WP:N and more. The rest of the buzz, is just that: buzz, in the way you used it. Caballero/Historiador^⎌

But you still haven't provided evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. If you can provide that I will happily change my vote. ... CJ [a Kiwi] in Oz 01:27, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete short of winning Miss USA, contestants are only notable if they have some other reason to be notable, which Salas lacks, so we should delete the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:05, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the level of her awards does not grant inherent notability; therefore to have notability she must have significant coverage in multiple reliable publications. Since she does not, she fails the notability test of the guidelines. --Bejnar (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cornelia Dahlgren

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

Unsourced BLP about someone who participated in Swedish Idol in 2004. I can find little about her online, even about her more recent alleged recordings. Prior to her 2015 digital download album, Balun, the recordings that are more easily searchable ("That's Why I Need Ya", "Army of Men") show she was a 'featured artist' on someone else's track. This all seems to be a 'smoke and mirrors' promotion of a musician that hasn't had any success in her own right. Time for it to go, fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC.

Delete How sad this is. I keep hearing from people "anyone can edit Wikipedia" and while it is true, not everything edited stays on Wikipedia. Someone obviously has gone to some trouble to try and write this page, and you (Jovanmilic97) to clean it up. But they are missing the basics, what citations can you offer? Can you prove it is notable? It's frustrating to see people treat Wikipedia as a website. Not having to offer evidence is so crazy. This is a show that has existed since the Internet (2010) if you have looked and can't find anything, then the citations aren't there. Therefore it needs to go. Hopefully people like Scaryspoofy1 will take heed and not waste their time. Though now I see that Scaryspoofy1 is a blocked account (It looks like because Scaryspoofy1 didn't understand non-free images and kept uploading them) and wrote this page in 2010.

Feel free to flag me to reconsider if you think you have been able to show WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:16, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(I was flagged on my talk page and invited to revisit) Noting that the The Joplin Globe, the daily paper in the city where he is pastor of quite a large church (3 churches, a couple of thousand member - a sort of smallish megachurch). This is local coverage, WP:HEYMANN, I'd particularly need to see WP:SIGCOV of some aspect of his career in publications not located in Joplin, Missouri. User:Barbarabcarneiro, if can find such sources and want to make a really persuasive argument for notability, it would also be a really good idea to remove the WP:PROMO from the page. This includes both the ADVERT tone, and a good deal of the content. A good rule of thumb is: if you can't source it to WP:RS (2 such sources per fact or accomplishment are preferable,) it doesn't belong on the page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:24, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
E.M.Gregory I'll work on rewriting it later today. Could you please check the new sources? I've added two from Baptist News and one from Christianity Post. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbarabcarneiro (talk • contribs) 17:45, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Post is a WP:RS. it is one of the first places I search when an Evangelical pastor or author turns up at AfD. however, the article you added is not a reported piece of journalism, it is a blog post. Like Forbes, CP hosts columns (iPost) by unpaid writers. These are not RS and do not establish notability. The Forbes story in the article looks PRIMARY to me. CP published a 2007 reported article that quoted Atkinson.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:14, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
E.M.Gregory here are two that mention him as a Christian leader and influencer: https://www.christianpost.com/news/new-website-connects-blogging-pastors-to-utilize-experiences-40381/ and https://www.christianpost.com/news/mushroom-eaters-media-savvy-churches-can-expand-god-146-s-kingdom-25921/. Are these worth adding? I'm still working on editing to remove WP:PROMO but it probably won't be until tomorrow. Barbarabcarneiro (talk) 20:45, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

in re: notability, what is really needed is stuff like profile articles, reviews of his books in WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV of his books in feature stories, and INDEPTH coverage of his career or of some aspect of his career - especially in books or scholar.y journals. Also, he has founded a couple of organizations, and headed a large church, Forest Park Carthage. The thing is, writing books and articles, leading a large chursh, founding an organization like exPastors.org is important work, but it is not WP:NOTABLE unless there is WP:SIGCOV of it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:02, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Madison.com (The Wisconsin Press-Journal) is clearly secondary. Madison365.com is timing out, but there are enough other sources (NPR, Soccer America) that get this over the line easily. SportingFlyer talk 23:05, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Govvy: there is no rule that says a certain percentage of the sourcing cannot be WP:PRIMARY (in fact, primary is very useful for WP:V in some cases), just that WP:GNG must be met with independent coverage from multiple reliable sources of significant coverage. Multiple can be two or three if a variety of independently sourced coverage is demonstrated, and all the rest could reliable primary with no affect on notability of the subject. However, if you wanted to argue WP:NOTNEWS for WP:TOOSOON as the initial articles were simply the same announcements of a minor league team, that would be different. Although, with the announcement of coaches and such, there is some presumption of notability here. At the very least it would be a redirect to the league page until more sources turn up.

Delete. So many things wrong with this list article but to sum it up it fails WP:NOR, Steam Store references are not reliable independent sources. Ajf773 (talk) 08:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. That a game is using procedural generation is a notable feature because it distinguishes it from those which use pre-generated textures etc.. As such, this is a notable topic for a list. See [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] for examples of RS explicitly discussing procedural generation when it comes to certain games. Problems with inclusion and sourcing can be handled by editing and do not require deletion, although entries which have their own articles in which the procedural generation aspect is mentioned and sourced don't need a source in the list anyway. Regards So Why 09:48, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Trim to notable entries, remove all the store links, and reliably source every use of "procedural generation". It should not contain anything that Category:Video games using procedural generation does not, and the category implies there should already be a reliable source in that article discussing procedural generation in that game. It's common to talk about games where procedural generation applies to large portions of the game, like roguelikes and such. But it equally applies to minor parts of the games, like repeatable quests in Skyrim[10]. This distinction is why I think this list can serve as a supplement to the category if we get rid of the useless columns, like platforms, and actually fill out the notes about what the procedural generated content is for each game. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 10:32, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The topic is notable and increasingly more important as more and more games are using PG. The list covers much more titles than the brief sketch in Procedural generation, which serves only as an introduction. For those saying the category is enough, it's noteworthy that lists have advantages over categories, such as browseability. Other users and I have been expanding this list over the years since its creation to include more games and encourage the creation of articles about red-linked titles. I agree with all of you in that there are issues with the list, but I also agree with @User:SoWhy in that those don't require deletion and can be fixed with editing. - Alumnum (talk) 18:28, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Currently, this page practically copies the procedural generation category of the Steam store, which is no what Wikipedia is about. I can't find any good listicles of procedural generation games, making me question whether this is a good set to have an independent article for like this. I do not see what this list currently brings to the table that the category doesn't already have, as there is barely any prose. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:39, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Maplestrip: Have you looked at the links I provided above? This Gamasutra article for example discusses procedural generation listing seven different examples. Regards So Why 08:56, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, my apology, there are some, yes, but not that many. The other Gamasutra articles you linked are all about individual games, which is why I overlooked it. I do see some opportunity for such a list, and may be thinking of this deletion discussion in part as TNTing a list that has no validly-sourced content (per Dissident's comment above, really). I suppose I'll switch to a neutral, but I hope that someone will actually use these sources to create a proper encyclopedic list... ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 09:25, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Not questioning that procedural generation is not an encyclopedic topic, but its mostly just a facet of the game's design, like open world and there, we don't have a list, just a category (List of open world video games redirects to the category). Unless we're going to spend time to describe how procedural generation is used, the current procedural generation page is sufficient to call out typical uses, and a category sufficient to document those. (I'm also concerned about Steam store pages as the principle source. That something is procedurally generated should be coming from secondary or third-party sources). --Masem (t) 15:20, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- "Unless we're going to spend time to describe how procedural generation is used" I think that's the only reason to have this list in addition to the category. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 17:07, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I meant on a per-game basis. Some games this will be straight forward, but not for most others. --Masem (t) 19:48, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, I also meant on a per-game basis. If there isn't a reliable source that mentions what procedural content the game has, then that game shouldn't be on the list (or in the category). Assuming we remove redlinks, then I would also assume all of these will have at least one review that mention at least something like "game X has randomly generated Y". — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:54, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep definitely can be improved. But several columns should be removed, especially the "Notes" column. wumbolo ^^^ 21:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- If you remove the Notes column, that makes this even less useful over a category to list the games. --Masem (t) 21:46, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Better to be less useful than filled with WP:IINFO like List of cooperative video games. wumbolo ^^^ 22:01, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - While my first inclination would be to also say that should be a category too, the fact that there are discrete ways to talk about cooperative games that we know sources routinely cover (# of players, local vs Internet, split-screen vs shared) makes a table like that a tad bit useful (But do note, even with that table in that state, it has a lot of room for improvement). For procedural generation there is no easy way to discretize the types of procedural generation use into nice clean segments, and certainly not anything driven by sources. --Masem (t) 22:05, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable but needs improvement. I would add yes/no "X" columns for what is procedurally generated (ie map, terrain, characters, objects, sounds/music, textures,…) I would leave small notes column for other aspects. Category is not sufficient, many missing. Redlinks okay if adequately sourced (multiple). Wonder if a cutoff date would be good because so many games use it now. StrayBolt (talk) 22:45, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~: this list is using a definition of "procedural generation" which is FAR too broad. If this article is kept, it needs to massively restrict its scope. Any game that uses SpeedTree, for example, is minimally using procedural generation, but certainly not in a noteworthy or meaningful way. I would honestly nuke the list and start over to really examine whether each entry belongs here. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:03, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This was pretty much what I was thinking: if we want this list to exist, it should only consist of games that have a notable usage of procedural generation. I mentioned WP:TNT above, because right now the list has nothing of the sort. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:36, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A possible solution would be purging all red-linked games, but that would remove the encouragement to create those non-existing pages. The Steam Store references are just a simple proof that those games do exist (without them, anyone could write anything and claim that it's a game's title). It's not the ideal way this list just should be; it's just a stimulus that more pages be created. - Alumnum (talk) 19:33, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And of course, anyone is welcome to add better sources. Again, Steam is just for we to be sure that each game in fact exists. - Alumnum (talk) 19:35, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The claim is that these games use procedural generation, not that they merely exist. WP:V requires a reliable source. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 20:31, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to reiterate that procedural generation should not merely be present, but that it is *meaningfully* present. That a game procedurally generates trees and rocks might be true, but it's not interesting or noteworthy. To expand on Masem's point, procedural generation is a programming technique. Its use, in itself, is not a defining feature of a game, just as a game using ray tracing or sprite graphics or for loops is not defining. A "list of games using procedural generation *to aid gameplay*" might be worth maintaining. A list of games that procedurally generate rocks is not. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:01, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Way too broad. Procedural generation is a technique used to generate all sorts of content across multiple genres. Ubisoft for example use procedural generation to populate their open worlds.[11][12] If you want to narrow the scope to procedurally generated levels, you should create a list for that specific use case, such as List of roguelikes. - hahnch e n 14:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I have not seen a commitment on the part of Keepers and list authors to scope in this list to a level that does not degenerate into an indiscriminate one. Nuke this instantiation but without prejudice against recreating a semantically substantive version in its place (I'd want to see a proof of concept before supporting that). Axem Titanium (talk) 19:10, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for lack of coverage of procedural generation as a notable feature of games, and of specific games. This just becomes original research. Note the requirements for lists. Also other problems mentioned above. --Bejnar (talk) 00:12, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

too early for an article. except a name (tho the structural formula is in the reference) No information provided about state of any therapeutic trials. No information about why it might be "designed for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia" I question whether it is appropriate to have an article until there is some actual published information.

delete if one looks for high quality independent sourcing, they are lacking (I have tried off and on for the past few months). There is lots of low quality sourcing, as is common for people who make their living on social media. This article has been under intense promotional pressure for a long time, which is how I came to work on it. I think we should delete, since notability is marginal and it is not worth the community's effort to maintain NPOV, given the long term promotional pressure.

Weak keep. I had to go through two or three screens on Google of his videos for Entrepreneur magazine, and found nothing usable in the associated Forbes bio, but I did find and add two independent sources that enabled a bit of information about his company: that it's now based in Dallas, having moved from LA, that he runs it from his home, and that he hires "green" agents and trains them himself, rejecting people with much experience, I believe are useful data points and far better than the laundry list of products the company sells. Both sources have been impugned when my edits were reverted, so a little more about them: one is a summary of his biography/business in association with presentations he gave at an insurance convention (not an interview, and I took only facts about the business from it, leaving out for example the numbers of agents in 2009 and at the time of the article; the other is indeed somewhat breathless for what it is, which is a local-interest news story. Neither is stellar, but they are not pure promotion and are sumilar in this respect to the Denver article that was already in use, and far better than his own blog/website, which we are using. This amount of coverage I believe makes him squeak by, so I argue for keeping the article, and I have reinstated my edits because more third-party sources is an improvement and because adding more facts about his business or other aspects of his career can only help offset the promotionalism inherent in lists of websites he's started and their stated aims and products he aims to sell. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:09, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For future reference, please clearly identify what sources you're referring to.

My mistake, the insurancenewsnet.com is not an interview, but based upon one, what's not just grabbed directly from his self-description for the convention. Such publicity has no encyclopedic value, and trying to pry basic information from it without a better source is problematic for any article, but extremely so for a BLP. This is what WP:NOTNEWS and WP:SOAP are for: to prevent us from assuming some local, in-world publicity is worth noting in an encyclopedia article. --Ronz (talk) 03:43, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment My improvements have now been removed, so I suggest this version better reflects available sourcing. Yngvadottir (talk) 07:34, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So why argue "weak keep" if there's no consensus for inclusion of the sources as required by BLP? --Ronz (talk) 23:16, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Because I disagree with your disqualification of the sources: see my characterization of them above. I improved the article; you removed the improvements on grounds that I regard as spurious. BLP is a red herring here: you gave as your reason for removal that the sources were promotional. I apologize for further cluttering this AfD by responding, but the two sources are important for assessing notability, and that is the issue here. Yngvadottir (talk) 03:57, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see how ignoring BLP improves anything. I think it important that AfD's take into account our content policies, in the case BLP's requirement for high-quality sources. ArbCom applies. --Ronz (talk) 04:03, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetation type

A concept in ecology. This is a dubious kind of stub created in 2014 by a now-blocked sockpuppeteer and not substantially improved since. I'm no specialist, but I get the impression that other articles such as Biome cover the concept better, making this a WP:CFORK. Really, a very basic concept in biology sourced to "Introduction to California Plant Life"? Sandstein 17:16, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Vegetation, where this is discussed with some sources. This is an obviously notable topic that plays a role in satellite observation, climate modeling and vegetation modeling. But the nom is right, this stub doesn't really discuss the the topic well and has poor sources.

Reply to Wumbolo - I quickly became aware that the current information for this bio would involve a considerable amount of time to read current articles, do the wikilinking, and such so I added a few sentences as a beginning but noted that it needed improvement, which I planned to do if others had not already done it. I agree with the changes that were done to my edit even though it involved deleting it in entirety, but not the way it was done. Gandydancer (talk) 17:29, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The thing that surprises me is that if I can find all these English sources in a few minutes of searching, what sort of other coverage is out there, and what sort of coverage is out there in Hindi? I think that the Delete !voters here need to have a look themselves. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 15:19, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hiroshi Sumitomo

Boilerplate rationale adapted from my previous AfDs of similar photographer articles (such as Keizaburō Saeki), which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. I have nominated several others for deletion, but have improved and de-orphaned quite a few more when sources have been available.

To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE."

In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name. I have also checked the Japanese name. The English transliterations turned up nothing. The Japanese characters brought up trivial Google book results, but nothing of substance.

He is name-dropped on one page, without elaboration, in the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it. I searched his Japanese name there and found nothing in any other article.

In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 10:29, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete without prejudicing any conscientious attempt in the future to create a worthwhile article. Sumitomo gets one page (188) within the 328 book. Although my impression is that he's less than averagely noteworthy among the 328 photographers, I think that a short article could be written about him and that this would benefit the encyclopedia. However, as he's a Japanese photographer who's not at all trendy, the chances that anyone would create such an article are slim indeed. Meanwhile, the presence of this substub is mildly annoying. ¶ PMC, as your efforts to clear en:WP of Polbot-generated junk continue, you may find the list Japanese photographers useful. Although it has subsequently undergone occasional tinkering, no real effort has gone into revising it since around 2009, and therefore its classification of the en:WP articles into "BGSS", "OK" etc is unreliable; however, it should still be useful as a guide to who is written up in which reference book. ¶ If I were to revise that list (and no, I have no intention of doing so), I might augment it with some other reference works and lists of notable photographers. One is Kōtarō Iizawa's 『日本の写真家101』 (i.e. 101 Japanese photographers, ISBN 9784403250958), my copy of which I happen to have in front of me: Sumitomo isn't one of the 101 and doesn't appear in the book's index. -- Hoary (talk) 22:53, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hoary, I always appreciate you weighing in on these - it's nice to have someone with knowledge of the area commenting. For what it's worth, my attentions are mostly focused on the ones in the Feb 09 orphans category, so once those are dealt with I'm unlikely to return to the topic. Your list is a good resource to be aware of though, I wish I'd seen it sooner. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:04, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A pity you're no sticking around, PMC. There are so many Japanese photographers who merit articles. Well, for your or anyone else's benefit: There's another handbook to Japanese photographers, and this time with potted bios in English as well as in Japanese. It's 101: Only One Photo Collection = 『101 フジフィルム・フォトコレクション』 (published by Fujifilm in 2016; no ISBN but it's here at CiNii).

Keep Easily passes WP:NACADEMIC based on citation counts (2,700 according to GS) in a low-citation subfield of physics. Notability further strengthened by substantial coverage in the NYT article (2nd ref) and numerous mentions in first-class popular and scientific journals.

I find scads and scads of blog coverage, and he's still being consulted by the press: The Economist, 2016, on Czech name change, РИА Новости (Russian), on mathematics.

Keep. Eight papers on Google Scholar with 100+ citations, five of which are clearly very highly cited. The comparsion with Sabine Hossenfelder is not completely unreasonable. Still gaining 100 citations per year despite having published nothing new since 2007. He's also fairly regularly mentioned in or quoted by the media, in publications as diverse as The Economist, New Scientist, Wired (magazine), Time (magazine), and BBC News. I get that people don't like him, but that's not a valid deletion argument. Fundamentally nothing has changed since Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luboš Motl (3rd nomination). Jonathan A Jones (talk) 15:45, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment His citation profile doesn't look that great for a string theorist, honestly. That's a field which can rack up the counts and the h-indices (Ed Witten is the record-holder, after all). Comparing Motl to, say, Barton Zwiebach, the latter has 41 publications that break into the triple-digit range on Google Scholar. Motl has 8. Clifford V. Johnson has 19. Tom Banks has 46. Matthew Kleban and Marika Taylor both have an h-index of 27, versus Motl's 18. (Hossenfelder, mentioned above, works on generally less-cited approaches to quantum gravity that are not string theory and also has an h-index of 27.) Remember, the point of WP:PROF is not to judge whether someone is a respectable academic doing competent work, but to judge whether they stand out from the average. So, while there may well be a #C7 pass here, I'm hesitant to say that there is a #C1. It would help if the various controversies Motl has thrown himself into were documented in reliable sources, not just blogs and wikis. XOR'easter (talk) 16:23, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Other people from Category:String theorists who are roughly contemporaneous with Motl: David Berenstein, h-index 36; Raphael Bousso, 45; Thomas Faulkner, 24; Steven Gubser, 72; Sergei Gukov, 40; Veronika Hubeny, 37; Amer Iqbal, 24; Shamit Kachru, 67; Shiraz Minwalla, 41; Asad Naqvi, 21; Horațiu Năstase, 30; Nikita Nekrasov, 51; Yasunori Nomura, 52; Richard Thomas, 27; Anzhong Wang, 38. XOR'easter (talk) 20:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't think comparing h-indexes is the right way to test whether the publications of someone who stopped publishing 11 years ago are of similar impact as the publications of someone who is still publishing. What's relevant is the peaks, not how many more moderately-well-cited papers he has (or in this case hasn't) continued to crank out. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:18, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Even by the "how high are the peaks" standard, Motl just doesn't seem to stand out to me. Berenstein has 17 papers in the triple-digit range, Bousso has 16, etc. Even Thomas has 10, and he skews more to the math side than the physics. I can see a WP:PROF#C7 pass, but not a WP:PROF#C1. XOR'easter (talk) 14:13, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. In case anyone else was wondering, the "OSVČ" on his Google Scholar profile apparently means self-employed in Czech, and his publication record stops in 2007, the last year our article records him as being an assistant professor. Normally, academics who flame out at that level do so too soon to have achieved academic notability. But the lack of notability in those cases is not caused by their having left, but by not having achieved enough before they left. In his case, he has achieved enough (in highly cited publications) to convince me of a pass of WP:PROF#C1. Once notable, always notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:12, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I agree with XOR'easter that the spirit of special notability criteria for academics is not to include everyone who has a seemingly high number of citations in their publications, it's to recognize people who are notably influential in their field. On its own, the number of citations is of limited use. An important note in the criteria is that Citation measures such as the h-index, g-index, etc., are of limited usefulness in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied. They should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted, and they may depend substantially on the citation database used. And yet these very metrics are being used as the basis for retaining this article. XOR's comments also suggest this level of citation is not particularly remarkable in this field. I was concerned that that the NYT article was the only source providing substantive coverage of Motl, but the context around the interviews from Czech sources and pattern of recognition of his expertise between The Econonmist, РИА Новости, and other sources above suggest this should be retained.

- The article was started in 2004, so the recent Strumia nonsense can't have anything to do with it. Reyk _YO! 08:53, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- The thing with academic biographies is that becoming a professor at a top institution is by itself an indication of the person having made a significant impact on the field and thus being notable according to WP:PROF. In most cases, this is confirmed by examining citation counts or library holdings. Here, we have scholarly impact bigger than what is typically (actually, I have never seen an academic with more than a few hundred citations deleted) required to survive an AfD, plus extra coverage related to the subject's blog and other activities. Rentier (talk) 11:16, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - Assistant professors, even at top universities, are seldom wiki-notable. (According to the strict letter of WP:PROF, even a full professor at Harvard wouldn't be notable by that title alone, although in practice I figure many full professors at Harvard would have done enough to be notable by other criteria.) XOR'easter (talk) 15:27, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I think the real question here is notability, and I daresay we are talking about Motl's notability as a physicist rather than as a personality. It is true that he is a notable critic on his blog of all theories that are not products of the String Theory program. I've had the pleasure to talk with Ed Witten and to hear Strominger and Maldacena speak, and I assure you all of them are more open minded and fair than Lubos Motl is. I don't know that LM has written any papers lately or made conference appearances that are notable either. But his contribution to framing the Weak gravity conjecture is a solid accomplishment that is sure to be significant in the coming months. Cumrun Vafa recent published a few papers aimed at collapsing the String Theory landscape, one with Paul Steinhardt a long time critic of that problem. So I would weakly agree with votes to keep this entry.

Delete- I think I have to clear up some fundamental misunderstandings here. Passing a SNG does not guarantee notability; it merely yields a rebuttable presumption. Furthermore, the fact that WP:NCRICKET was rammed into the SNGs with minimal discussion means that it cannot be considered binding on the community. What we have here is a virtually empty microstub on an obscure cricketer with sourcing so meager that it doesn't even allow the subject to be unambiguously identified. The sole "source" in the article does not contain a single word of prose. This article is essentially a few cells of an excel spreadsheet bloated grotesquely. I could support the creation of list articles where these bare statistical entries could be included. But I can support neither the creation of empty stubs on people whose names we don't even know, nor the continued misleading pretense that "meets my pet over-inclusive guideline = 100% ironclad guaranteed notability".

Delete - on balance this is almost certainly a delete. The coverage in CricketArchive and CricInfo is purely statistical. It is not significant or in depth in any way, which is the level of sourcing required. The basis of the SNG is that we might assume that there is a good chance that, because the chap played a single first-class match, that suitable sources which are in depth and provide significant coverage exist. On balance I am totally unconvinced that such coverage exists in this case - and, as a result, the SNG assumption that such sources might exist, can not be maintained. For example, the match he played in (England v Surrey XI, 28-30 August 1800) is not covered at all in The Times and the Sporting Post identifies Chitty in a list: For Surrey, Winchilsea, Waller & Chitty vice Mr Wells, Harding & J Hampton; H Hampton played. That's not in depth coverage.

Ultimately we have no forename, no dates, nothing. We can live without an article on him. I know it's not as easy as checking that he played a single game, but ultimately the sources are simply not there for this chap. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:24, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding another cite in the Sporting Post. Along with Arthur Haygarth's Scores & Biographies, Volume 1 (1744–1826), that gives two good sources. Randy Kryn (talk) 21:12, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of which are in depth enough to do anything other than prove he played in the match. That's way, way, way below the level of coverage required to come close to the level of detail which the assumption at the centre of NSPORTS (and all of the SNG) requires. We are literally talking about a name in a list of other names in The Sporting Post and I'm not convinced that the S&B source will have anything other than a name on a scorecard. As I say, I know it requires a little more nuanced thought than "did he play a match", but that's the level of thought we really need to be working at you know. Blue Square Thing (talk) 21:32, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By proving that he played in a match the sources guarantee that the subject meets WP:NCRIC. Major league baseball articles have the same criteria. If a player has an at-bat, or plays a position for 1/3 of an inning, or pitches one pitch from a major league mound, they meet the criteria for notability. That's because of "completeness". For many sports everyone who has played at a certain level - in baseball, for instance, it's playing in a Major League game that passes the bar - is Wikipedia-worthy simply because the encyclopedic roster of all-time major league baseball players is only completed by universal inclusion. And who knows, maybe this guy just used one name. Chitty. Like Pelé, or Rivellino, or many others. Chitty. The legend grows. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:11, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was wayyyyy off. Turns out that in baseball someone is Wikipedia-worthy if they have played in one game in Major League Baseball, Nippon Professional Baseball, KBO League, in the World Baseball Classic, Baseball World Cup, or Olympics, or in the defunct All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, American Association, Cuban League, Federal League, Japanese Baseball League, National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, Negro Major Leagues, Players' League, or, last but least, in the ever-popular Union Association. Talk about completeness! Randy Kryn (talk) 02:17, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:SPORTBASIC - the underlying criteria that all SNG should be based on:

A person is presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. The guidelines on this page are intended to reflect the fact that sports figures are likely to meet Wikipedia's basic standards of inclusion if they have, for example, participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level (such as the Olympics).

Chitty doesn't come close to meeting that. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability per WP:CRIC has been achieved by (and I'll repeat from above) Arthur Haygarth's Scores & Biographies, Volume 1 (1744–1826). There is no reason to abandon Haygarth as a Wikipedia source. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:34, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, or merge to (a single sentence in) any relevant article. This fails even the lowest interpretation of GNG, and failing GNG so completely matters, because if you can't pass GNG, then you can't actually write a decent encyclopedia article. This article fails WP:WHYN: it is not a subject about which enough verifiable information can be found to write an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate, all-inclusive database with a separate record for each person who can be documented to have ever played one game. Think about what's being defended here: The thoughtless "Keep per NCRICKET" votes are asking us to have a completely separate, stand-alone page for someone about whom almost nothing is known, or will ever be known. We literally don't even know whether "Chitty" is his first name, last name, nickname, or only name. This is not a suitable subject for a proper encyclopedia article.

Haygarth is not an in depth source - which is what we require. It's a trivial mention by using his name in scorecards. If he were one of the biographies (here's a hint: he's not) then I'd be more than happy with Haygarth. Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:20, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: In voting to delete this article I am not asking to remove the info from WP. I am, instead, stating that the meager and apparently insignificant data cannot justify an entry by itself. The info should be included in pertinent pages, and if more secondary sources mention it in the future, then, reopen the entry for him. Regardless of what WP:CRIC would say, the entry simply does not pass the chief index: WP:GNG, even with the vagueness of these guidelines. The article has no significant secondary source, no legitimate connection to other WP pages, and the editors did not even make the effort to justify its existence. The single Haygarth’s citation cannot warrant its notability either. I have neighbors with plenty of more in-depth and more citations than that and we would never think of writing an entry for them in WP. After observing the support, I have been tempted to change my vote to Keep just because it seems the community wants it. But doing so would just make it hard for me to justify other Delete votes in the future. Caballero/Historiador^⎌

There are more useful and effective ways to keep him here, I think. Caballero/Historiador^⎌

Delete While the topic meets the NCRICKET allowance for presumed notability, it is clear that there are going to be no more sources forthcoming to flesh out this article, and even if more did end up coming, we're talking the loss of one line of text, easily recreated when better sources are shown. Both the GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines are not guarantees of having an article, but presumptions, meaning that they can be challenged as this AFD is doing. If there was more extensive signs of a longer career, that might be reason to keep, but this is a case we should not have an article just because. --Masem (t) 18:34, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is the problem with most of the below average players who pass the SNG guideline for playing single game or having single award, but the only source for them is either statistical tables or tweet-size profile as well as coupled with misunderstanding of SNGs as absolute defence for inclusion. We have to understand all SNGs are just guidelines to weed out the obvious non notable. After a subject passes that, then they must be subjected to further scrutiny and if found to lack non trivial multiple sources that can help to write objective article on them then they're still non notable irrespective of so called playing so so professional or whatnot. –Ammarpad (talk) 19:21, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the WP:CRIN wars return. My position is still the same. WP:GNG is obviously not met (the reference is trivial and it's unlikely others exist), but "notability" is neither one of the five pillars nor one of the three core content policies. The content is verifiable (to the extent that any historical content is verifiable), and the WP:SNG is met. I have discussed and proposed changes to the WP:CRIN standard for first-class cricketers, but none of those have found consensus. Wikipedia also serves as a specialized almanac; having exhaustive listings of players (even those players who do not otherwise meet notability guidelines) can serve a purpose. power~enwiki (π, ν) 03:12, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete SNG is best thought of as a shortcut for GNG not a replacement. Power~enwiki points out that WP:N isn't a pillar or core content policy but it is an incredibly important guideline and deserves some deference.

Delete. The article is not a biography. It is in fact a record of one player's performance in one match. If that principle were applied to Wilfred Rhodes as the most extreme case, there would be well over a thousand articles about each of his match performances. As someone suggested earlier, the solution here must be to include Chitty in a list of Surrey players. I would, incidentally, question the status of the match because, by definition, a first-class match is eleven a side. This one was fourteen against twelve. It is debatable, therefore, if Chitty was a first-class player. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 05:30, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Let me be clear that I would switch to "Keep" if any source emerges that provides biographical detail allowing for even a very brief biography to be written. If deleted, I support recreation if such a source is discovered. Special notability guidelines exist (with one rigorous exception for academics) to serve as a quick shortcut or rule of thumb for evaluating whether or not the topic of an article is likely to pass the General Notabilty Guideline. This speeds deletion evaluation but there are always exceptions. This is such an exception. Passing a SNG is not a 100% guarantee that an article must be kept, but rather a short-term proxy for an in-depth search for significant coverage in reliable sources. In this particular case, we lack any knowledge about this person other than a one word moniker, and a single scoreless 1800 match appearance. Surrey county cricket teams says the the current team in Surrey was organized in 1845; and the concept of First-class cricket was formalized in 1895. There is no information about the team in the article so how do we know that this was even a match at the highest level? We don't by reading the article. This is not at all an indication that Haygarth is not a reliable source. I can pull any good nonfiction book off my shelves at random. Such a book might provide solid evidence of the notabilty of one, several or many topics. But there will inevitably be passing mentions of many other topics, and those passing mentions do not establish notabilty. All we know of Chitty is an exceptionally brief passing mention and that is insufficient for establishing notabilty or justifying a Wikipedia biography. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:42, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
User:Cullen328 is spot on when he asks: There is no information about the team in the article so how do we know that this was even a match at the highest level? We don't by reading the article. The match is described there as first-class but, as I said above, it was very unusual because of the fourteen to twelve odds. I have access to Scores & Biographies and it is recorded on page 279. The team names are Fourteen of England and Twelve of Surrey. Chitty is twelfth of the Surrey twelve. There certainly were first-class matches and county teams from Surrey long before 1800. If this had been an eleven-a-side match it would without a doubt be first-class, but played to odds it must more likely have been to settle a private wager and should be seen as some kind of exhibition game. Reading what Cullen says about the notability guidelines, it seems to me that Chitty would only pass the cricket SNG if that match is definitely first-class. Even if he does pass that, there is no way that a surname on a single scorecard can be said to justify a biographical article because the GNG is emphatic, as I read it, that the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Haygarth is certainly an independent reliable source but can anyone seriously claim that the coverage is significant? Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 10:17, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, I have done some work on the article to include all of the additional information that has been discussed in this case. The article now has a couple of paragraphs instead of a single sentence but it remains a very brief report of one player's performance in one match that might not have been first-class. It is not a biographical article. Scribbles by The Scribbler (talk) 10:57, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- This looks more like an encyclopedia article now than the exercise in stamp-collecting that it previously was. As you say, though, it's still not a biographical article because the sources come nowhere near justifying it. I'm also a little skeptical of the last paragraph as it looks like a comment about the notability guideline. I've previously protested editor-facing footnotes used to defend these trash articles so it would be a little hypocritical not to voice a concern now. Reyk _YO! 12:10, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It now reads as an attempt to hide the fact that there is no secondary-sources (WP:NOR). If I would be a Cricket historian, I would find it interesting and dig deeper into it, and perhaps write an article on the subject. And then, the name would justify an article in WP. Caballero/Historiador^⎌

Delete does not pass any reasonable notability standard.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:41, 7 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Note the baseball-specific notability guidelines were not historically intended to provide completeness, as has been indicated above. From the inception of the sports-specific notability guidelines, the consensus was not to set a lower bar than the general notability guideline, but to defer to it. In many discussions since, this has been affirmed. Specifically for baseball, the consensus view is that the criteria are set at a level where it is highly likely that the general notability guideline can be met. (I think there has been instances of MLB players whose articles were deleted where virtually nothing was known about them to help uncover any sources, thereby failing GNG, but I cannot recall their names.) isaacl (talk) 06:34, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The key policy here is WP:ATD which states that "If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page ... Articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded could be merged into larger articles or lists." Some good improvements have been made to the page in the course of discussion per WP:HEY and so we see that such improvement is feasible and so the page should be kept for further development. WP:N is only a guideline and so is weaker than this policy, but, in considering the notability issues, it is clear that WP:NCRIC takes precedence over WP:GNG per the legal principle lex specialis derogat legi generali. The detail about the number of players in the game is irrelevant because, when first-class cricket was formally defined in 1947, its formula was explicitly not retrospective and so the status of earlier games was not changed. The game in question was clearly of top quality, being from an era when the county was so strong ... that Surrey frequently had to contend against Fourteen of England.. Andrew D.

As the whole thing is just a guideline which is explicitly loose and open to exceptions, it's much weaker than a policy like WP:ATD. Andrew D. (talk) 23:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - This sentence has been discussed numerous times on the talk page as I've tried to get it to be changed. However the consensus view is that the sentence is not providing guidance on how to determine if the standards of having an article are met (that is, English Wikipedia notability); it is stating that the article must include citations to reliable sources. Thus it isn't enough to assert that the subject passes one of the sport-specific criteria; a source must be provided. Deference to the general notability guideline remains the consensus position of WP:NSPORTS, as has been affirmed every time it is discussed. 01:37, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
      - The page has reliable sources and meets WP:NCRIC. It can have critics, and those who think there is more to it than that and want to delete the page, but the present language upholds the keeping of this long-standing article. The only way to change its nobility, which is established, and its passing of the NCRIC language, which it does, is to change the language. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:15, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This appears to be the case of a subject that arguably meets the notable criterion, yet it is doubtful that the article will ever be expanded beyond (to paraphrase) "Chitty was a cricketer who participated in this one game." There already exists a list List of English cricketers (1787–1825), into which the sparse information we have on this person can be merged. To accomplish that, the list should be converted into a table, which offers at a glance each player's team & floruit. In fact, a brief survey of this list shows at least three more cricketers whose article consists of little more than a single sentence -- & should also be merged into this list.
IMHO, there is no point in having separate articles on these poorly known cricketers, ignoring that they are sportsmen. We face this problem in many other areas, for example in an area I've been working on for a couple of years, Republican & Imperial Roman consuls. For some of these otherwise notable people, they are, as Ronald Syme said of one, "a name and a date": in these cases, I have been content to simply leave them as a name in a larger list. I honestly fail to see how Wikipedia helps its readers by having skimpy little stubs of a sentence or two about these men which will remain for all intents & purposes skimpy little stubs. If anything, having separate articles suggest to readers that there is more information available about the subject, however Wikipedians have not had the manpower or access to known resources to add this missing material to the article. If anything, it would add value to identify these "permanent stubs" & find ways to merge their content into related, more general, articles. -- llywrch (talk) 04:16, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - does not seem to be notable. The sources used in the article suggest detailed write-ups, but both are offline. She apparently holds a top-level heraldry within a "kingdom" of the Society for Creative Anachronism historical recreation group, which is partially based on merit and partially based on buying a membership, and anyway doesn't seem to be the sort of thing which confers notability. Google-fu turns up nothing, except maybe one gig announcement in a local Ottawa paper, but that really doesn't constitute significant coverage. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:56, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough under WP:NMUSIC to withstand how poor the referencing is. With footnote #1 ("Robert J. Wiersema (6 June 2004). Vancouver Sun.") being an incomplete citation (THE ARTICLE TITLE IS MANDATORY, people!) that's being cited only to support the fact that she purportedly sounds like Sarah McLachlan rather than anything relevant to whether she passes a notability criterion or not, I ran a ProQuest search to locate it — and as I suspected, it's a one-line glancing namecheck of her existence in an article that isn't even slightly about her otherwise. Three of the other five citations are to primary sources that cannot support notability at all, one is a special interest newsletter that would probably be fine for supplementary verification of stray facts after she'd already cleared WP:GNG on stronger sources but is not widely distributed enough to bring the GNG all by itself as the strongest source on offer, and as for The New Arthurian Encyclopedia, that book's searchable version on Google Books completely fails to verify the claim that she's mentioned in it at all — and even if by some chance she is mentioned in it and Google Books is just having a technical hiccup, its ability to help her become notable would still hinge on whether she actually had a standalone entry of her own (which would help to establish her as notable) or was confined to yet another glancing namecheck of her existence in its entry on somebody else (which would not). And on that ProQuest search, I got a lot of routine entries in local concert calendars (which is not how you source a person over NMUSIC #4 for touring) and a few articles about her in smalltown weekly pennysavers on the proximate level of the Caledon Enterprise, but nothing that would constitute strong coverage for the purposes of a GNG pass. As always, the ultimate notability test for a musician is not what the article says, but how well the article references what it says — but the sources here aren't cutting it, and I can't find anything better.

The term "happiness" was born from the concept of "happy hens" or "happy eggs" (see references on the article), but because it also appeared a certification for "happy cows", in general terms is "animal happiness", the title includes a general concept and not a specific certificate.--Igallards7 (talk) 17:51, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a technical term for these programs: "animal welfare certifications" or "animal welfare certification schemes". See the sources above.

Primary sources do not count. There could be ten thousand of these sources, and they still would not satisfy the GNG. Ravenswing 19:51, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't. I tend to vote delete on most articles. The Daily Herald is a feature piece specifically on her. The Hockey Writers piece discusses her as the playoffs MVP and goaltender of the year, as does the Sporting News, which is a very good source for this league. The "routine" coverage is about her performance in the league's championship game, such as [34] or [35] and this transactional article is also a feature on her [36] and she's mentioned multiple times here [37]. None of these are primary, or press releases, or blog posts. What fleeting mentions I've presented are from great sources. You can choose your opinions, but you can't choose your facts - and the facts show she clearly satisfies WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 00:22, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NHOCKEY and routine sports reporting is insufficient to meet WP:GNG. Playing for Canada in the 2013 Winter Universiade games is the closest she's come to meeting any notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 00:13, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Plainly and obviously notable as a successful professional sportswoman: WP:NHOCKEY is irrelevant here because all of its criteria only apply to male players and, short of transitioning in succeeding in a male league, that is literally impossible for any female players. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:32, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Except that women's professional hockey does not garner the media attention necessary to be included on NHOCKEY, it receives less than most male leagues unfortunately, which is why to meet it women's players must play in the World Championships to meet NHOCKEY where they are likely to garner the media attention required to meet GNG. -DJSasso (talk) 09:16, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is a ridiculously discriminatory claimed standard. There's more on her than for many, many male players and it's more than sufficient to pass GNG in my book. The Drover's Wife (talk) 09:58, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try, but no. Almost every citation in the article is a primary source, which cannot count towards the GNG and notability. Of the two that are not, one's a broken link, and the other's a press release. If you're going to claim that this article meets the GNG, you're going to have to identify some sources that satisfy its provisions. Otherwise, would you care to identify the notability criteria which being a "successful professional sportswoman" satisfies? Ravenswing 10:53, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Of the two non-primary sources (here is the archive link for the dead one), in one she is simply mentioned in a list and the other is about a local fundraiser for an injured player which Tatiana and her brother hosted. While the fundraiser definitely interviews her, it does not have much in terms of significant depth of coverage on here, no more than any local paper would have on any person hosting a fundraiser. Seems pretty strictly WP:ROUTINE as these types of articles are in every local paper every week, regardless of the host's notability. I'm not sure how that article would make her any more notable than, say, a firefighter's pancake breakfast.
@The Drover's Wife: As to women's hockey players presumed notability, unfortunately, the leagues are so poorly cover in the media (players included), that I have had a really hard time just trying to find verifiable info on teams, much less so who was playing for each team at any given time. Because of the guidelines calling for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject needed to meet GNG, than if wikipedia is being discriminatory, it is only the media has decided not to cover it. The only way to fix this is to start demanding more coverage the leagues from the media itself, which can be done by watching games and showing interest. It's getting better, but it's not there yet. Yosemiter (talk) 15:04, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is more than happy to accept much less than this standard for tens of thousands of other sporting articles. The only reason we're even here is the overtly discriminatory guideline that says that that standard is okay if those athletes are playing in male leagues. The Drover's Wife (talk) 15:08, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Drover's Wife: WP:NSPORTS entire purpose is to make an easy guideline through a set of parameters in a given sport so that any subjects that meet one of the criterion will consistently meet WP:GNG. NSPORTS constantly is evaluating whether new criteria should/could be added, usually within the specific sports projects. Hockey is not a worldwide popular sport, such as football or cricket, and its widespread coverage for women is limited to the Olympics and Worlds. The women's leagues have been evaluated several times, and a set of criteria could not be made where players will consistently meet GNG on their own merits. There are several women hockey players who do meet GNG without playing the Olympics or Worlds, so GNG is still the governing guideline. So it appears your problem lies with the need to meet GNG, which is what is at issue here. Does this player meet GNG? Yes or No? If you answer yes, then please provide some independent, non-primary, reliable, coverage of significant depth. That is the first step to making criteria for an SNG, male, female, or anyone else. Yosemiter (talk) 15:18, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't see how playing in NWHL would make her notable, but I thought her college accomplishments had a better chance. The CIS awards page does not even mention her being 1st team all-Canadian but this article validates it, if that matters. I did however find the following: [38] from the Winnipeg free press, [39] from the Winnipeg Sun. Not sure there is enough for a keep vote, but should be considered. I should add the hockey writers article [40], but I am not sure how that website is viewed in a GNG discussion.18abruce (talk) 18:49, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm actually leaning towards a weak delete on this one. While looking for sources, I also came across the Winnipeg Free Press and The Hockey Writer's articles (linked in 18bruce's comment, which was posted while I had to go do real life stuff), plus this one from the same THW author. Personally, I feel THW is usually more independent than any SBNation article, only because THW covers all hockey subjects, an not just the local team(s). However, the author of those articles, Dan Rice, works for the NWHL and covers the NJ Devils (Rafter's team, the Riveters, play in the Devils practice facility) for THW, which really makes me question the independence of the articles. Again, we still cannot claim there is a consistent criteria for NWHL players, but some do get some minor independent coverage. In fact, this subject's best articles are from her time in college, not the pro league. In the end, this particular player could go either way for me, but two articles from her home papers and a few from a hockey-specific blog/newsite written by a likely non-independent writer pushes this towards the delete side. I'm not sure what to make of the coverage on the charity event covered in the Manitoba papers. Yosemiter (talk) 19:21, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:GNG. [41] [42] [43] [44] (brief mention, but quality source) [45] (same as SI) [46] (heavily mentioned there). This isn't an exhaustive list, either - it's easily web searched.

Comment Errr ... second cite, casual mention. Third cite, blog. Fourth cite, a fleeting mention wouldn't satisfy the GNG (as I am sure you know) if the source was the Britannica. Fifth cite is a link to her iTunes page, are you kidding?? Sixth cite is routine sports coverage debarred by WP:ROUTINE. Ravenswing 04:31, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, this isn't an exhaustive list. There's a lot of coverage from blogs, excluding the ones she wrote herself, and a lot of game coverage in routine articles from reliable sources which is why we assume GNG is passed for a lot of men's players. She's come up in Sports Illustrated/ESPN/Yahoo Sports more than probably the majority of hockey articles we have on this site, though! Finally as noted she was the best player in her collegiate conference (Canada West), which would qualify a man for WP:NHOCKEY. WP:BASIC is easily satisfied. No reason to delete this. SportingFlyer talk 06:41, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Except that blogs don't meet WP:GNG nor does WP:ROUTINE game coverage. And being the top player in a Canadian collegiate conference does not qualify a man, only the NCAA conferences listed as Canadian collegiate hockey garners very little media coverage. -DJSasso (talk) 13:23, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Right, but good Canadian men go play in minors - I believe that's one of the top competitions she could have played in at her age. SportingFlyer talk 17:04, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Which rather puts paid to the notion of the NWHL as a "top" league, doesn't it? In point of fact, nothing debars women from playing in the minor leagues, or indeed in the NHL, and there've been a trickle of women doing so since the 1960s. Ravenswing 19:53, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't remotely. Good Canadian men play in the NHL - or the NWHL. It hasn't even remotely been denied by the delete voters here that we wouldn't even be having this discussion and it would be considered indisputably notable if Rafter were a man in an exactly equivalent situation with exactly equivalent article sourcing: it is the first time in Wikipedia history that I've seen delete votes which fundamentally (and in some cases here overtly) amount to "because she's a woman". The Drover's Wife (talk) 21:43, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Drover's Wife: Again not true, here are two male AHL players with more coverage of the same type found here (routine/regional or non-independent blog-type coverage) that were deleted just last month. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt White (ice hockey) (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joey Anderson. You'll notice Matt White gets 194 news hits and Anderson gets 2000 compared to Rafter's 191. Yosemiter (talk) 22:57, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The number of hits on Google News has no bearing on whether an article passes WP:GNG or not. We've devolved into a ridiculous argument in which "women can play men's minor league hockey" has come up instead of being focused on the sources. To be fair, these are all borderline articles, but I still think she passes WP:GNG and see no reason why we need to discount the coverage, and agree with Drover's Wife a similarly sourced article would be kept if she were playing in an equivalent men's league (which is not a "right great wrongs" argument, either). I know this article'll get deleted, want to put this on the record nevertheless. SportingFlyer talk 00:12, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: I just pointed out two similarly sourced (or more even sourced) articles (specifically addressing "a similarly sourced article would be kept if she were playing in an equivalent men's league") that have gotten deleted just one month ago. So while quantity of GNews hit may not be directly responsible for meeting GNG, the quantity often correlates to at least few of quality. By my understanding, every woman who has played in any men's league ends up meeting GNG just by the rarity of it getting widely covered..
So by "equivalent men's league" do you mean top tier in skill or top tier in meeting the standards of players consistently meeting Wikipedia's General Notability Guidelines? If it is the former, then that is against WP:N. If it is the latter, then there is an interesting discussion taking place right now at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability is geared towards the white male perspective about how notability is treated when reliable sources for GNG are lacking due to historically systematic bias in the general media. If something comes from that discussion that changes WP:N, then this would be a very different conversation. Yosemiter (talk) 01:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think I mean both of those things, and I've made a post or two at the WP:N discussion (thank you for the link, though). Rafter is one of the best female hockey players in the world but maybe isn't quite elite enough, doesn't quite meet WP:NHOCKEY and as I've stated before, WP:GNG is borderline here, but I think it gets over the line. Same with Katie Fitzgerald, another open AfD, which I think is an even stronger keep than Rafter. I don't expect this article to be kept, but I'm fighting to keep it because: 1) I think it does pass WP:GNG or else I wouldn't be wasting my time; 2) I think comparing women's hockey with men's hockey isn't an adequate comparison - if you're a professional female hockey player, you'll likely be playing in the NWHL, Canadian league, or maybe a top European club, as it's the best competition available to you to play in (I don't buy the men's minor league argument); 3) I think the current notability guidelines under-represent female hockey players (same with football), since at AfD we're generally too focused on whether the SNG is met (myself included); 4) a general difficulty of applying WP:GNG to athletes, especially with agreement on what is a routine source or not; 5) even if it's not kept, I hope this makes it easier to recreate the article once there's more of a consensus WP:GNG is passed. It meets WP:BASIC, and it's not as if there are promotional concerns with a typical WP:BLP. SportingFlyer talk 02:14, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1) I also think it is borderline (definitely not the worst sourcing I have seen deleted or kept, male or female). My vote had more to do with "if I read this about a current hockey player, regardless of age, gender, or location, does it seem more or less notable than other players that gave been deemed to meet or not meet GNG." I am fine if the article is kept, but it did not compare well with other deleted/kept articles in my opinion. (FYI, the ice hockey project deems SBNation-hosted sites as blogs as they are sometimes unreliable and very specific in coverage, as in a Metro NY hokcey site covers a Metro NY hockey player would be very routine as a topic.)
2) Not sure how to address this one, but if women's hockey would be viewed as an entirely separate sport from men's (lets call it Wockey), then what kind of SNG could be created from it? Is it very niche? How widely covered is it on its own merits? Just off the top of my head (I have been working on improving/fixing the team pages for these women's leagues) while looking at sources it would probably fall within the coverage of water polo, ringette, or lacrosse as being sparsely covered outside very specific news coverage. IMO (again), the NWHL is not quite the best women's league in skill (that would be the CWHL as they seem to have a higher quantity of higher skilled players right now), but being in the US it gets somewhat more coverage with the US being sports obsessed, especially in blogs. (I also don't buy "they can play in men's leagues" argument. If that were true, they wouldn't be meeting GNG just because they played in the ECHL, but they do because it is so rare.)
3) Agree completely. Women and minorities, especially in sports, are underrepresented in GNG-type media coverage. (On the other hand, I think some SNGs are too loose, even for men's players.) I actually pushed to look into the NWHL and CWHL last year for inclusion into NHOCKEY and the results were inconsistent. Most wanted it ideologically, but it would have needed some strange phrasing and singling out very specific coverage as an SNG line item. And that still would not be enough for some editors pushing for its inclusion, which they were advocating as "they stepped on the ice for the NWHL, they are inherently notable" (which goes back to the GNG notable vs. real-world notable debate). But if the leagues were better covered, I wouldn't need to create Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Archive72#Looking for some clarification to try and figure out what CWHL Toronto team played in the 2011 Clarkson Cup (not really covered in any media sources, but the final answer seems to be an expansion team created using some players from the Mississauga Chiefs and was called the Aeros on some fan-run stats sites, but not by the CWHL itself. The unnamed Toronto team then became the Furies the next season).
4) Also agree, some projects are looser with what they deem routine vs. others. NGRIDIRON sometimes advocates for keep if they are covered in entirely local sources ("QB had a good game, named ACC Star of the Week", "Next season RB Joe Shmoe for UofHere is looking to break records" etc), whereas others call these expected/routine articles from that newsite for that player (such as this particular AfD with the Winnipeg, MB, articles for this Winnipeg local). Seems to be applied at random in the AfDs.
5) Should be recoverable from archives, but I have heard there are instances where the archives get lost. AfD is good for history though. I personally really only prod if it is completely unsourced or just made up autobiographies. Yosemiter (talk) 03:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the response. To respond to #2, the easiest would be to simply add it to NHOCKEY #3 and give the benefit of the doubt if NHOCKEY is not met and there are ample routine sports sources covering the player (not box scores). May be a bit too slippery of a slope though. If you treated women's hockey as a separate sport, the SNG would be quite niche. And again, my argument isn't that we should be loosening notability guidelines - there's just a conflict between the current SNG and players which are borderline GNG. I would typically argue someone who is borderline GNG who doesn't meet the SNG should be deleted, but I don't agree with these AfDs, since the SNG presumption for women's hockey (national teams, major tournaments) is much higher than for men's hockey. (As an aside, the gridiron project treats WP:GNG as a very low hurdle.) SportingFlyer talk 04:18, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:GNG. Covered in Sports Illustrated [47] and the Hockey News (in the article) and other sources as well here [48]. We should be careful relying on WP:NHOCKEY for women's hockey as the NWHL, while new and possibly (hopefully not) transient, is a top-tier professional league. SportingFlyer talk 03:13, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The second source just mentions the subject by way of a quote from her, which as we all know cannot support the notability of the quoter. The first is a very weak cite (the article isn't about the subject at all), which just mentions the subject by way of "Hey, here's someone interested in this new league!" ... in which she barely took the ice, as it happens. As far as relying on NHOCKEY goes, the NWHL is not remotely a "top-tier professional league" by any standard whatsoever; there are mid-tier minor leagues with vastly more attendance and payroll. What makes you claim that it is? Ravenswing 04:20, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The professionals on the gold medal winning Olympic team all play in the league, with one exception (Sweden). It's the top level of professional women's hockey - if you're one of the best female hockey players in the United States, you'll likely be playing in the league. It's why a five-team league receives the level of coverage it does in national publications. SportingFlyer talk 04:51, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: Not here to comment on GNG merits yet, I like to actually dig into the sources, but the comment that it is THE top level is not entirely accurate and that ALL the 2018 US Olympic players are in the NWHL is just false. Since the paycuts, some of the Olympic players have gone back to the CWHL, especially now that that league is now paying a salary as well. (see Hilary Knight (ice hockey), Kacey Bellamy and Brianna Decker.) Less than half the 2018 US Olympic team has played for the NWHL, several are still in college, a few more Minnesotans are joining the local Whitecaps team but had not played in the NWHL previously, and four are now in the CWHL (arguably two of the star players from that 2018 team). In total, 9 of the 23 2018 US Olympic team are signed to the 2018–19 NWHL season. As opposed to the Canadian Olympic team, where most off its players have gone on to the CWHL (I think all but Shannon Szabados, who was actually playing in men's pro leagues before joining the NWHL Beauts this year, and a few college players). The CWHL, and a couple of European teams, are easily on par with this league in terms of overall skill, even if they are possibly less covered in independent media. It should also be pointed out, that while the league is "professional" that it could be argued that it is not "fully professional" since almost all players have jobs outside of playing for their teams in order to live. So while the league is ONE of the top-tier women's leagues, in terms of inconsistent media coverage, lower pay, and marginal attendance, it falls somewhere in between the ECHL and the Southern Professional Hockey League, neither of which have automatic presumed notability for simply having a contract and stepping on the ice once.

I also used the term "professionals" as a qualifier, and comparing this to the ECHL is ridiculous - the NWHL and CWHL contain some of the best women's hockey players in the world and we're excluding the routine coverage of the league for reasons I don't completely understand or agree with. These leagues don't have any presumed notability guidelines, not even a "preeminent honors" guideline, but the ECHL isn't getting coverage on say ESPN (unless there's a fight). SportingFlyer talk 16:29, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: I was merely addressing your misleading statement of ALL the 2018 US Olympic team plays in the NWHL, when in actuality 9 of the 23 women on that team are signed to play in the NWHL. The ice hockey project did look into the "preeminent honors" of the league last year, but the independent media coverage of the players was too inconsistent to write a guideline for at that time. The CWHL, an older league, had even less consistency. Yosemiter (talk) 16:53, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That is because, having an article isn't based on talent. It is based on coverage in sources, the NWHL and CWHL are so rarely covered in the media, there was a recent debate on what exactly a couple of the teams called themselves a few years back because there was no sources at all from which to find the information. If the media isn't even covering the teams to the point where the names of the teams were in question, there is no way they are covering every single player that steps onto the ice for a single game. And as for the preeminent honors, we recently went through a list of the recent award winners in the leagues and not even all of them could meet the GNG which is why the leagues also don't fall under that one. I would love women's hockey to grow to the point where we can add more them to the wiki. I am a hockey fan first and foremost, but unfortunately we just are not there yet. The Boston team won the championship the other year and the locals papers didn't even mention it for example let alone talk about any players. -DJSasso (talk) 16:56, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised with the amount of coverage it receives, to be honest, and stand by my vote and my previous statement. SportingFlyer talk 17:02, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the sports illustrated ref alone is enough for her to pass gng. The closer should note the ref and discussion from sporting flyer came after those delete votes. Szzuk (talk) 19:08, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The sports illustrated ref isn't really about her, its a passing mention. -DJSasso (talk) 12:47, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph starts with "Chelsea Laden thought", the second paragraph starts with "Laden, who plans to", the third paragraph starts "But toward the end of her time at Quinnipiac, Laden heard" the fourth starts "Laden’s salary" - that's one gigantic passing mention. Szzuk (talk) 13:11, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Even if the SI article is considered to provide significant coverage, that is still only one source. GNG requires "multiple" independent sources. From my own standpoint I regard this article as being more than passing mention but less than significant coverage on its own, since it doesn't say much about her. So I don't disregard it from a GNG standpoint but I can't give it full credit towards significant coverage. Basically, by my accounting if there is another independent source of this quality I would count the combination as 1 independent source providing significant coverage, which would still not be enough for GNG. But again, even if one counts this as providing significant coverage in its own right, it is still just one source, not multiple sources.Rlendog (talk) 16:00, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per Rlendog. Women's hockey doesn't get media coverage, and that's just why SNG's don't favor it. Also maybe some people here need a reminder on the GNG. "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" is the language. Doesn't matter if a person got fleeting coverage on the tablets from Mt.

Conversion of scripts

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

Non-notable neologism of ambiguous scope. A previous editor added an HTML comment to explain their rationale for adding the {{Too abstract}} tag: "What is a script?" I agree, the article does not contextually define 'script'. It also does something similar with 'writing system', though at least it provides an internal link.

The end result of this is that the subject is essentially 'Transliteration and Transcription (linguistics)'. Both of those subjects are independently notable, but that doesn't make this subject notable, per DEL6 and NOT#CASESTUDY. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 03:57, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is essentially a fork of Transliteration. Transcription is not a "conversion of scripts", since it usually involves representing speech or signing in a written form, not converting one written form into another. The topic is covered better at Transliteration, which also happens to contain a link to Transcription (linguistics). Cnilep (talk) 03:22, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- As one of the main editors behind the recent push to making prime number a Good Article, I strongly object to merging this content there. The main prime number article is not and should not be a dumping ground for special classes of prime numbers too non-notable for their own articles. And it makes no sense to redirect without a merge, because this concept is not mentioned there already and a reader who tried to use the redirect to find out about this class of numbers would not find what they were looking for.

Comment. May satisfy WP:NFO per [49] ref, which is an article that mentions that there was a memorial exposition related to the actor Pavel Kadochnikov who participated in this movie and which also very briefly mentions that this movie was shown during that memorial event (along with other movies which featured same actor) for a limited time.

Comment. It is an understated article about a person from royal family. The person may in fact be fairly notable. Or the topic could be redirected to some appropriate section in one of the articles about about the family (House of Limburg-Stirum, and List of Dukes of Limburg). I see it is mentioned in the "House" article that he is "a claimant to the headship of the House, lives in Finland." An alternative to deletion would be to redirect to an anchor which could be placed there. Also, searching is not easy. I dropped the "Count" from the suggested search and find my way to one (Swedish-language?) article here, which is mentioning the subject being in transit at time of World War II breaking out, and mentioning after the war. But the whole string "Franz von Limburg Stirum" might not be usual.

Delete - this article is a mere nine words long, telling us nothing apart from Dahir being a settlement in Fujairah. A merge with Fujairah might be possible, but there does not seem much to merge. Vorbee (talk) 07:47, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per GEOLAND. This says that Dahir is the location of Wadi al-Lahbah which is of some scientific interest for the wildlife there. I'll add that source to the article. The map reference given for the wadi is pretty close to the coords in the article (about 1 km separation), so there is little doubt they are referring to the same place and the satellite view plainly shows that it is a populated place.

Comment: I haven't made a choice either way, but I will say that the article is definitely very WP:PUFFY and I'm concerned that the article relies so heavily on the Trident Media source. A look into the site shows that it's run by the Hertfordshire Students’ Union, so it wouldn't be seen as a RS on here. ReaderofthePack (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:33, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete film is mentioned at Tariq Chow, and that is sufficient for a film that I can't source despite diligent searching with a lot of keywords. I might have suggested a REDIRECT, if not for the fact that we have 2 pages on films with similar titles, and the title "Elephant in the Room" turns out to be used by an amazing array of books, TV specials, etc.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:28, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the director Tariq Chow with {{R from film}}. Also, some comments:First, "deadlinks" by themselves are not a valid reason for deletion, no more so than "I couldn't find the book at my library and it's not freely available online". If URLs are currently dead or broken, the content can often be retrieved by Wayback Machine, WebCite, or other internet archiving resources. That said, the fact that the most-cited source in the article is a student newspaper (Trident Media is the home of print, radio and TV at Hertfordshire Students’ Union. We’re run and led by the students at the University of Hertfordshire...) doesn't speak much to the independent notability of this film. Secondly, there being a similarly named article already, and countless non-notable elements with the same name in the Google-verse, are not any policy-based grounds for deletion. We have disambiguation terms for such instances. --Animalparty! (talk) 23:49, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct about deadlinks (certainly a deadlink to the BBC would merit investigation), and I should have been more specific. The deadlinks here are - http://www.elefilm.eu/web/about.html, http://elefilm.eu/web/home.html (which seem to be probably a website set up to promote the film) and to http://www.endcap.eu/the-elephant-in-the-room-solitary-elephants-revealed/ (which seems to be an activist organization).

The sourcing for this short film is all or almost all PRIMARY. The University of Hertfordshire is listed as the "production company," for this short film, and the University of Hertfordshire the gives the film a prize in a competition. "Trident Media" turns out to be "Hertfordshire Students' Union's student media group". Film did get a post on the website of Conservation Action [54], but the rest of the sources are reposting host sites like Upworthy, and straight self-PROMO like "film pill" [55].E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:57, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article, part of a promotional campaign for his company, written by a single-purpose account. The references are either about the company, or are mere notices of trivial award. The only extensive ref, in the NYT, is about the clothing, not the person--and, as I see it represents a promotional interview where the subject says what he pleases.

Comment - I consider Elisabeth Bentley to be an important WOMAN filmmaker, and women have long been dismissed or considered "not notable" #TIMESUP when indeed Bentley is not only a notable screenwriter but also has a producing credit on upcoming T Malick film;[58] so hard to say she is not notable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Radiant Light 01:16, 25 September 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OnlyLoveIsReal777 (talk • contribs) Striking comment made by sockpuppet: WP: SOCKSTRIKE --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:50, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Inclusion into Wikipedia is based on meeting certain criteria related specifically to notability. Not "real-world" notability, but Wikipedia defined notability. While "real-world" notability is based many factors, such as popularity, Wikipedia based notability is based on meeting the criteria in WP:N and providing independent, non-trivial, in-depth support. Currently the article fails to meet the criteria for inclusion. reddogsix (talk) 02:06, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I see that the article now has two citations to Variety, which is a start. However, this seems to be the case of WP:TOOSOON, and there does not seem to be significant coverage of Ms. Bentley. I entirely agree with the proposition that women have much less space devoted to them, and agree with WikiProject Women in Red. That said, there are plenty of women who meet the notability criteria that could be written about. There is no need to create articles about people who do not meet the criteria. --Bejnar (talk) 03:17, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per others - not a notable person, most sources have a very brief mention of this filmmaker and most searches end up with another Elizabeth Bentley who was actually pretty notable. Definitely WP:TOOSOON, regardless of what gender this person is.Omgwtfbbqsomethingrandom (talk) 02:15, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, there's just not enough to show notability at this time. The closest is the screenplay nominated for an award, but that was just nominated and the reference doesn't mention Bentley at all. I'm assuming Nanking (2007 film) is the right film and she's not mentioned at all there. Just not enough there at the moment. Ravensfire (talk) 16:32, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
