Non-notable organisation failing WP:ORGCRITE due to a lack of significant independent coverage on the company.

Speedy declined in 2015 for containing an independent source, a page about an event they held, although this appears to be fairly routine and I do not believe it indicates significance; just for events occurring in Chicago today, there are 270 very similar pages on that site.

No references. May be the same organisation as Easterseals (U.S.) Rathfelder (talk) 21:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This ought to be converted into a disambiguation page with links to the U.S. organization, the Canadian organization, and the labels. There may be related organizations in Australia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico that are likely to be notable and worth adding to the disamguation page once articles have been created. I cannot tell whether there is an umbrella organization that brings together the different national organizations. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 22:23, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Easterseals (U.S.) This article has no sources and a redirect to the well-known organization that started with this name seems best. I'll admit I'm not 100% sure these are the same organization, although the article's link to the page implies so. I also admit that the redirect target suffers from a lack of independent sources, but one issue at a time.Sandals1 (talk) 14:49, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'll agree that there's little in the way of information available online, but Junior Boy's Own is unquestionably one of the key labels to emerge from the UK's acid house scene of the late 80s and early 90s, with many charting singles and albums from notable groups. I'd be very surprised indeed if there weren't articles about the label itself in print versions of various dance magazines like Mixmag and Muzik from the 1990s, before the internet. Could arguably form part of a wider article about the Boy's Own collective that started out as football fans who discovered dance music and put out twelve issues of a fanzine, before going on to found the record label – see here for an overview of the Boy's Own story [1].

  • Björk, Chemical Brothers & Underworld released albums through this label. Just check the link at [2] warpozio (talk) 17:41, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Has a half-page entry in The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music, which is extracted from The Encyclopedia of Popular Music - inclusion in a print encyclopedia is good enough for inclusion here. --Michig (talk) 20:52, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable musical group with no indications of meeting WP:BIO or WP:MUSICBIO. Of the 8 sources cited at time of listing: 2 are links to pages of song lyrics, 1 is a Facebook link for the music school one of the members attended, 1 is the website for the youth group the members belong to, and 1 is a link to an album on iTunes. Of the sources that actually reference the group, the NewReleaseToday article is WP:UGC ("Entry lasted edited by guiroper on 08.09.18") and the two Cross Rythyms pages also appear to be opinion/submission pieces ("The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms. Any expressed views were accurate at the time of publishing but may or may not reflect the views of the individuals concerned at a later date").

PROD was removed without comment by page creator. Additionally, the creator of the article claims to be one of the members of the group (see edit summary here). RA0808 talkcontribs 19:15, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no evidence of any notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   19:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC) Hello dear editor/contributor for Wikipedia. I'm here to state the veracity of this music or group page on Wikipedia. All information presented in there is real and doubled checked by me myself as one of the artists along with Elaine. Secondly, I don't believe in the state of being awarded somehow to be notable and eligiable in all I do in life and much more professionaly in my music carrier. Hope you will reconsider my submission and contribution for the amazing content source as it has been Wikipedia.[reply]

Wikipedia is not the place for WP:SELF PROMOTION. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 04:09, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

oppose/keep the music group fits as their contribution to the music. Non promotion as mentioned above is seen in the article. Reliable sources is surely provided in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guiroper (talkcontribs) 05:33, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Guiroper: None of the sources you provided meet the definition of a reliable source that Wikipedia uses and, in fact, most of the sources you cited do not have anything to do with you and your sister as a band. I can appreciate that you are proud of having created such uplifting music together with your sister, but Wikipedia is not the place for this because you simply are not notable enough. RA0808 talkcontribs 19:55, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @RA0808: Unfortunately I have to desagree with you. I have double checked other musical artists who are in the same sort of position as us and they have a Wikipedia page. Why would be different with us? I appreciate your points regarding to being awarded and nominated for something to be on Wikipedia, but this is not our case and this does not make us less than others. Hope you take this into consideration as well. I tried my best and there' nothing else I can do to improve even more this page of ours. There was even another user these days who re-wrote about us on the actual Gui & Elaine page. Regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guiroper (talkcontribs) 20:58, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and NPROF. Local Imam/teacher. Sourced to organizations he's affiliated with, a speaker profile, a the mailofislam website. In my BEFORE I was able to find an individual with the same name (but seems to be based in Sudan) with a quote on terror suspects - [3]. It also seems there is a lt. General in Sudan with the same name. I was not able to find much on this individual. Using Mail of Islam to claim descent from Abu Bakr in our voice seems promotional.

This poorly sourced puff-piece article seems to be stretching to meet WP:N. I'm not sure if his lengthy public address announcing career in San Diego or managing a bowl game association for 14 years meet it — I'm kind of leaning on the side of no, though I'm not sure enough to PROD — but if they do, the article is in need of dire tone and sourcing help.

Promotional article for non-notable music producer previously deleted by AfD here. The sources are terrible, and what few of them could maybe be considered reliable don't have in-depth coverage of the subject. None of the won awards appear to be notable enough to merit inclusion by WP:NBIO instead of WP:GNG.

The article is a recreation of a previously deleted article by a new author. In the recreated article there are reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject and passes the standard for WP:N and WP:MUSIC respectively.

Note: The first time it was nominated for speedy deletion, the concerns were it lacked references and independent sources of the subject. The second time it was nominated for speedy deletion, was to contest the deletion why it should be kept because it was previously deleted by a consensus decision. view log. The admin later removed the nomination tag when the article talk page was updated with the reasons why it should not be deleted. Aigbokhan Chukwuemeka Ogbeiwi (talk) 00:54, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of the publications currently cited appear to be reliable sources, and several of them are named as being outright not reliable. The only reliable source that I see is the Vanguard News article, which is a mere mention of a song that the subject produced, with no mention of the subject. A significant amount of these articles are similarly mere-mentions of projects that the subject has supposedly worked on. signed, Rosguill talk 05:13, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More reliable sources have been added to the article and there were over 7 reliable sources that were in reliable sources already cited in the article that made mention of the subject as a Notable act. Aigbokhan Chukwuemeka Ogbeiwi (talk) 11:53, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Fails WP:MUSICBIO, as I always say, being nominated for awards like City People Awards and Nigeria Entertainment Awards does not confer notability, especially when such category is not primarily for the subject, but a song he has produced. He was not even listed in the credits by the awarding body. "Run Mad" will be a notable song for Wikipedia, but does not mean everyone on the crew for a notable song deserves an article. His nomination for the The Headies 2013 would have conferred notability, if it was for him, but its still for the song. Same way, we can have a notable film, in which all the actors are not notable or a notable actor that acted in a non-notable film.HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all The articles mostly cite the group, their (non-notable) label, websites selling their music, lyrics sites, and trivial mentions. Searches of the usual Google types, EBSCO, Gale, HighBeam, JSTOR, and ProQuest found no significant coverage in reliable independent sources. The deepest coverage is (presumably, it requires registration and a download, so I haven't listened to it) the 9 minute BBC Radio interview. It's a reliable source, and may be used within the constraints on primary sources, but as nom has already explained, does not contribute to notability (see also "other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves" in WP:BAND).
Proponents of keep have asserted the existence of significant third party news coverage without identifying any actual sources. The closest I see is [4], but that's a passing mention of the group in a press release by the organizers of the festival at which they were playing. It is not "non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources". --Worldbruce (talk) 15:04, 14 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note - According to WP:BAND - Musical ensembles or bands may be notable if they meet at least ONE of the following criteria:
1.) Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
2.) Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
3.) Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
4.) Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.
5.) Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable).
6.) Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles. This should be adapted appropriately for musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
7.) Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
8.) Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award.
9.) Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.
10.)Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read the policy and notability guideline on subjects notable only for one event, for further clarifications).
11.)Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
12.)Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.
Labbayk has met many of the above criteria, especially numbers 1, 4 and 12. Significant coverage of Labbayk, and/or members of Labbayk, by reliable independent sources includes coverage in UK Channel 4, BBC Asian Network, BBC Radio 4, Kuwait News Agency and Muslimness Blog. Liberty Pedia (talk) 12:28, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:BAND criteria #1, #4, and #12? No, no, and no.
  • 4thought.tv [5] on Channel 4 in the UK is a short film format in which a single speaker, in this case the leader of the band, gives their personal views on religion. It is a primary source, Masum in Masum's words, not independent coverage.
  • BBC Asian Network [6] is a radio interview. Again it's Masum in Masum's words, a primary source, and specifically excluded from consideration of notability by the first bullet point under criterion #1 of WP:BAND.
  • BBC Radio 4 [7] contains only about a minute and a half, starting at 18:30 minutes in, of Masum. He speaks briefly with the interviewer about nasheeds. He mentions in passing that his band exists and plays nasheeds, but the piece is not significant coverage of Labbayk (or of Masum).
  • Kuwait News Agency [8] is a press release from the organization employing Labbayk to play at their event, so not independent.
  • Muslimness Blog is a group blog that "work[s] with brilliant media groups" and whose motto is "shameless promotion". It is not in any way shape or form a reliable source.
--Worldbruce (talk) 02:39, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • All these bullet points by Worldbruce prove that Labbayk has met criterion number 12 of WP:BAND and Labbayk only needs to meet one of the 12 criteria.
  • Another important point to remember is that Labbayk never performed in Kuwait.
  • Masum is the lead singer of Labbayk, just like Bon Jovi.
  • The BBC Radio 4 coverage is important because it shows how ISIS (Daesh) and other extremists used the music of Labbayk, as well as the music of other groups, in their propaganda materials without ever paying any royalties and in complete violation of the copyright. --Liberty Pedia (talk) 09:06, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Delete I spent some time evaluating notability of the subject. I have this gut feeling that they should be notable. The problem is, this gut feeling is not backed by any evidence. I cannot say Labbayk clearly pass any of the WP:BAND criterion; while they come very close to passing some of them. If deleted, which is more likely outcome, please also protect, so that next time we see this article is recreated again, that happens through AfC. --nafSadh did say
  • If one reads the article thoroughly and checks all the references, as well as the websites and links that the references lead to thoroughly, then one will come to the conclusion that this band meets multiple criteria of WP:BAND and Labbayk only needs to meet one of the 12 WP:BAND criteria. As the discussion for deletion above shows, this article should not be deleted. Instead it should be expanded and improved. --Liberty Pedia (talk) 07:16, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • My opinion is after doing exactly that. The thing is, it doesn't pass any of those 12 criteria. Only you are saying it passes few of them, other editors disagrees. My gut feeling is to keep, but reasoning says delete. --nafSadh did say 15:48, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Leo1pard: You didn't add any content to Labbayk when you added the "independent book" as a source. Have you read the book? Can you provide a relevant quote from it?
When evaluating the reliability of a book, the guidelines tell us to consider three things: the book itself, the publisher, and the author. No library in the world seems to hold a copy of the book. This often means that professional librarians do not regard it as a reputable source. The only listing I see for it is on Amazon,[9] where no publisher or year of publication is identified. It's a print-on-demand book, which often indicates a self-published source. The author, Russell Jesse, is not an acknowledged expert on British Bangladeshi bands, Islamic music, or anything else. If we examine what else he has authored on Amazon, we find Clenbuterol,[10] Samsung SGH-D600,[11] Vaimanika Shastra,[12] and many other diverse titles. These examples are published by Bookvika Publishing, which according to this complaint merely copies and pastes from Wikipedia. If the same is true of his Labbayk Nasheeds title, then it's a circular source, and not reliable at all. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:25, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) You mean this book, with the publisher "Book on Demand Pod" (POD = Print on Demand) - a WP:SPS which seems unavailable for sale (at least online)? That would not account for independent reliable coverage (if this book exists at all - it might just be a reserved ISBN). @Leo1pard: - do you have a copy of this book on hand? Icewhiz (talk) 15:27, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce and Icewhiz: I don't have the copy on hand, but I know that this isn't the only link for the book that I've seen. Another one exhibits details like the date being January 2013. Leo1pard (talk) 04:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't have a copy on hand (and haven't verified the contents, reliability, or even existence) - you shouldn't be citing it. Beyond being self published (clear from the named publisher - "Book on Demand Pod") - there's a good chance (since it seems impossible to actually purchase this, isn't on google books, lack of other on-line content around this book) - this is just a reserved ISBN. Icewhiz (talk) 05:42, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • books that cannot be found, whether self-published, or produced by a group or organization, are not reliable sources or useful to support notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Citing a source you haven't examined is risky, one might go so far as to say foolhardy. There are strong indications that the "book" is merely a copy of Wikipedia (the date of January 2013, which you don't say where you saw, is consistent with this, as the Labbayk deleted in October 2013 was created in June 2012). We can't say for certain because no one has seen the book. It may, as Icewhiz suggests, never have been printed. Or it could be about nasheeds that mention Labbayk or other Hajj-related terms, and nothing at all to do with the British band. I encourage you to reconsider your keep recommendation. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:23, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A non-notable subject that does not meet WP:BASIC. Coverage found in searches for independent, reliable sources is limited to passing mentions, name checks and quotations. The primary sources in the article and found in searches do not serve to establish notability. The one independent source in the article only provides a name check.

  • Delete A significant portion of this article is not actually about the subject or his work at all. That said, the sources listed in the article are either not independent (Church News, Ensign, lds.org, Liahona), trivial mentions (Deseret News), not reliable ("Grampa Bill"), or primary (quotes from a speech in the blog Meridian Magazine), so they don't establish notability under WP:GNG. Search finds passing mentions of ceremonial duties like opening a temple or short quotes from speeches, some apparently in Deseret News but actually produced by the official Church News staff. Having a name or a quote in an article is not WP:SIGCOV. It's trivial. So subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Open to alternatives if significant coverage emerges.

    • I appreciate you adding the reception section. It certainly helps, but there's still no in-depth coverage. The two English sources I reviewed (PC World, Linux Journal) are not dedicated to Altacast, but to internet radios, and mention Altacast briefly as one of the examples. I am afraid that this is not enough, to be notable, we need multiple (2+) in-depth treatments. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:25, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Both edcast and oddcast are both relevant to article. The use of these in the internet radio setups,while not the main focus, are essential components and are described in rather more than a passing mention. On top of the Kosser(1) Kosola and Franz et al(2) Franzke, Nico; Damrau, Robert alone satisfy multiple requirement of Wikipedia:General notability guideline without reliance on Miller which I also contest satisfies the requirement. I have previously identified the Linux Journal as passing mention with regards notability but a relevant cite in the overall context of the article. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Unfortunately, Franzke, Nico; Damrau, Robert seem to mention Oddcast only in passing ([13]), hardly sufficient for satisfying notability by itself. The master?doctoral? thesis at [14] does go into it in more detail, covering few pages, but it is a thesis, so not a source of highest quality (not saying it is bad, just not great). This AfD will probably be closed as no consensus, and I guess the new sources help a bit, through IMHO still not sufficiently (as there's still not a single in-depth review or article about this topic, just a bunch of mentions in passing). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:14, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: While a number of the sources appear questionable for establishing notability, overall it's enough to pass WP:GNG. Modernponderer (talk) 19:47, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It appears the Keep !voters above have not looked at the clarifications provided in WP:NCORP on the criteria for establishing notability for products. There references in the article do not meet the criteria and I am unable to locate any references that does. Topic fails GNG and NCORP. HighKing++ 16:49, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Indeed quite often in this type of article the majority of the sources may not be suitable for the purposes of establishing notability. As I indicated before the required sources necessary are present. Article passes WP:GNG, WP:ORGCRIT, WP:SUSTAIN and lines with WP:NSOFT and established practice. Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:14, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Response First off, in my opinion, the article is more than a little misleading by saying that Altacast was formerly known as Edcast and Oddcast. This is untrue as Altacase is a brand new fork and in fact, Edcast is still a separate fork and still available for download. To me, this is an attempt by Altacast to "inherit" any notability available by Edcast and/or Oddcast. The "required sources" are not available because the correct guideline is WP:GNG/WP:NCORP and not NSOFT which is an essay. If you believe that there exists two references that meet the criteria for establishing notability as per NCORP, kindly post the links below so that other editors can evaluate them. HighKing++ 20:05, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Ah .. I chronic mispells. Please accept apologies. (1) Kosola and (2) Franzke, Nico; Damrau, Robert and I also claim (3) Miller. Only (1) isnt available from the article ... I've wayback'd a copy. Regards. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:47, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Exactly my point. Oddcast/Edcast were not "renamed" to Altacast - they're different software. The first reference isn't a reliable source since it is a thesis for a degree, not for a doctorate. Neither of the others mentions Altacast. The second doesn't mention Altacast but is a technical manual for Oddcast (different software). The PCWorld article lisewise doesn't mention Altacast but mentions Edcast. IF Altacast was notable, there should be a reference that actually talks about Altacast. Notability isn't inherited. HighKing++ 22:49, 21 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
            • Oddcast, Edcast, Altacast (orginally known as recast-reborn) are all development forks of the same software and perfect valid for the scope of the article. Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:06, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • I understand that is what the article says (unreferenced) and I understand that is the position you have adopted also, but that doesn't make it true, especially with the lack of third party corroboration on that assertion. Forks of software are "forks" for a reason - it means the new software is different and not the same as the old, especially when the old developers are no longer involved. HighKing++ 11:06, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                • A good point, through being the devils advocate, I can see the merit of non-notable merging forks into one article focusing on the most notable, presumably original software. Whether the original software is notable does become an issue here, particularly as sources about forks are not fully relevant. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:16, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                  • There are a number of other pertinent points. First off, the original software would need to meet the criteria for notability and then we would need sources connecting the newer software (and the notability of the newer software) with the original. Bear in mind that in this case, there aren't any (third part independent, etc) references connecting the newer forks with the old software, or their relevance to the old software, etc. In this instance, even if the older software was deemed notable (and therefore the title of this article and the subject would need to be changed), we would still need references (independent third party, etc) where the new fork is discussed in light of the older software. HighKing++ 14:17, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                    • The nature of this being treated as one software development is given on the Altacast site and on various other websites, bellonline.co.uk from memory. It is implausible for there these to me distinguished, and if there were separate articles for all three there would likely be a case for merge. I hit the point here where this discussion is disrupting me from doing more productive things .... in real life and better things in wikipedia. I ask myself am I being goaded into a rescue? I am recalling some points by Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xmonad (3rd nomination) by Joefromrandb and DGG.Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:12, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:HighKing, bundled notability is not the same thing as inherited notability, but rather a somewhat obscure yet relatively common practice on Wikipedia in exactly this type of situation. So while you certainly have a point, you propose no alternative to deletion such as moving the page to a more notable title and refocusing it on that. As such, I must agree with User:Djm-leighpark overall. Modernponderer (talk) 19:39, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Modernponderer I have to confess I am not aware of "bundled notability" mentioned in any guideline/policy. Can you point me somewhere? I accept it may not be "officially" documented and agree that if it is "common practice" it should be considered. Also, I haven't exhaustively looked to see if "Oddcast" (the logical topic if an alternative suggestion was being sought) is notable but from what I've seen, it might not be. Regardless, given that the content contained within this article has almost nothing to do with that topic (other than perhaps earning a line under a "known forks" section), it seems to me that I cannot recommend any other actions other than "Delete" or "Write an article on a different (but related) topic". The argument put forward by Djm-leighpark (based on my understanding of what he has said) is based on the assumption that *any* fork is notable once the original software is notable. Is this what you are also agreeing to? HighKing++ 20:07, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • @User:HighKing: Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any actual policy on the issue of bundled notability (which is as I expected though). However, I did look through WP:INHERIT and I still do not see how it applies to this type of case – it talks about notability going "up" and "down", but what about "sideways", when multiple closely-related subjects are discussed in a single article?
Re: your question at the end – obviously a fork is not necessarily notable just because the original software is (that is definitely an "inherited notability"-type argument). But given that we are discussing a single article here, I am not sure that is relevant, and I am pretty sure User:Djm-leighpark was actually making a similar "bundling" argument without referring to it by name.
Again, what I am looking for here is to preserve the main content of the article. Its title and exact focus in terms of forks are both much less important. I am open to supporting basically any proposal from you or other editor(s) concerning this article that does not involve outright deletion of the whole thing. Modernponderer (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment' "Bundled notability "is not the relevant term--rather, it refers to two related practices--
The first guideline is the sub-rule rule in the WP:GNG guideline, that notability does not necessarily lead to a separate article, if the content is such that they can be better covered as sections of a longer article.
Second, partly in consequence of this , in particular we normally cover software products form the same company together in a single article on the company, except for any of them that are clearly of independent notability . As I see it, trying to make multiple articles when they are not clearly justified isa promotional technique, and should be strongly discouraged. Even in practical terms, it is much easier to support one article with substantial content. DGG ( talk ) 04:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you DGG. That is also my understanding in terms of multiple "topics" in the same article. Wrt this topic, the closest analogy I can come up with (by leaning heavily on DGG's description) is Marble (software) (equivalent to Oddcast) and its fork Geothek (equivalent to Altacast). As I've said above, assuming that Oddcast is notable (and likely is), then Altacast can certainly get a mention as a "fork". What options are left for this article? Well, it doesn't make sense to "rename" this to Altacast since there's almost nothing in this article that would carry over - so in my opinion, that means someone needs to write a new article on Oddcast. Until that happens, I can't recomment a "Redirect" since there's nowhere to redirect to. Is there any option other than Delete? HighKing++ 10:16, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • probably Keep--repurpose to a combination article for "Oddcast, Edcast, Altacast (orginally known as recast-reborn) which on the evidence above seem to be all versions of the same software. I am not sure what the correct name should be--it would be either the same of the original version, or the best known name. I think this article can be used as a base for rewriting, but I leave that to the people who know the topic better. DGG ( talk ) 18:10, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am inclined to keep the name as Altacast (if it aint broke leave it alone). For software in general later versions superset earlier versions and on occasions its better to describe the current and put the others in the history. But there are exceptions. On this occasion I'd suggest staying with altacast as it's fairly unique and I have a suspicion (unproved) the newer names were chosen to avoid clashes with another Oddcast's and Edcast's or that may have owned the copyright or to bypass a license distribution scrape. But there is an argument it could suddenly re-incarnate as Trumpcast or something so something like Oddcast (software) might work well.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:RAPID. Cessna crashes are usually not notable. However, when light aircraft crash into a crowd on the ground - killing 3 people and injuring several more (all fatalities on the ground, the aircraft occupants were lightly injured / shocked) - one possibly has an exception. In this particularly case, this very recent crash (from 14 October) has garnered wide international coverage (in addition to the copious German coverage) - e.g. Reuters, Independent, BBC. At this point evaluating future effects (e.g. on airport procedures) and coverage requires crystall balling on our part, and given the very wide present coverage - per WP:RAPID we should retain the article.

  • Delete The quality of the article alone is simply too bad to keep it.
  • "crashed into a crowd of people in Fulda": Fulda is a city of 70 000 inhabitants, situated more than 20 km away.
  • Not 2 adults and one child was killed, but v.v.
  • Not 8 people were injued, but only the 4 occupants of the Cessna (slightly).
  • An aircraft cannot "try to land" - it's usually the pilot.

The result was no consensus. Opinion is split between keeping (per GNG because of the news coverage) and delete/redirect (because of the routine nature of election coverage). This reflects a broader disagreemeent among editors about whether articles about major-party candidates for significant offices in two-party systems should be normally kept or not; but we'll not resolve this matter here.

The specific guidelines for politicians are not authoritative or definitive for determining notability, only the basic standard WP:PERSON is to be used to definitely determine notability. WP:N states that "A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable". The sub-category suggestions are just rough guides -- the ultimate criterion is the basic WP:N, and each person must meet that criteria in order to get an article irrespective of how they come out on the specific sub-guidelines for politicians notability.
Since this guy has in-depth, substantial coverage from multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources about a major event (and additional coverage about additional independent events), he meets the criteria outlined in WP:PERSON.
I created the article because it seemed unusual that most of the other candidates had articles (even the ones who lost the primary), but this guy, who won the primary, didn't have an article. Upon further research I found that he does indeed have lots of coverage -- more than enough to warrant an article.
Please feel free to contribute to the article and help fill it out. Sparkie82 (tc) 10:25, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The losing primary candidates who have articles all, right across the board without exception, have articles because they have held notable NPOL-passing offices already. Not a single one of them has an article because they ran in but lost a gubernatorial primary — they have articles because they've been state legislators or cabinet officials or mayors of the state's largest city, not just because they ran for governor and lost. Bearcat (talk) 21:55, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SportingFlyer: Could you explain, in detail, how this article falls under WP:PROMO? I don't see it. Sparkie82 (tc) 10:44, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
An article created about a candidate a couple months out from the election, but it contains endorsements and a partially uncited link to a scandal at his company. I will admit it's not the worst I've ever seen, but keep in mind WP:N is subject to WP:NOT. We could also move most of this information to the election page and put up a redirect. SportingFlyer talk 11:00, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't the way it's written, please feel free to change it. How it's written doesn't effect the fact that it's notable. Besides, it's all of about 7 hours old at this point. Help fill it out.

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation in November if he wins. As always, the bar that a candidate has to clear to get a Wikipedia article just for being a candidate is not just "campaign coverage exists" — campaign coverage always exists for every candidate in every election, so if the existence of campaign coverage were enough in and of itself to exempt a candidate from having to pass NPOL by winning the election first, then every candidate would always get that exemption and there would be no standard left to distinguish notable from non-notable politicians at all anymore. Rather, to earn an article without having to win the election first, what a candidate has to show is a reason why their candidacy is a special case, because they're receiving exponentially more coverage than most other candidates are also getting. What needs to be shown is credible evidence why even if he loses the election he'll still pass the ten-year test for enduring significance anyway — absent credible evidence of specialness, however, the simply normal and expected volume and range of campaign coverage does not reify into a GNG pass until after he's been declared the winner.

  • Redirect to Oklahoma gubernatorial election, 2018 then undo the redirect after his likely win in November because he's not a young Latina Democrat. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 08:00, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This guy meets the WP:NPOL criteria. The WP:NOL guideline states, "people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article. Also, WP:BASIC states, "People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below [i.e., without meeting WP:NPOL]." This guy easily meets the basic criterion because he has "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." And as a bonus he also has independent coverage from his role as the CEO of Gateway. Many of the other comments in this thread are citing reasons that do not have consensus and are not part of the WP:N guideline. Sparkie82 (tc) 10:51, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He does NOT meet WP:NPOL. Of the sources you cite only 2 are unrelated to his candidacy. One is a trade listing in bloomberg.com which is way short of the "significant coverage" required. The other, in news9.com I'm unable to see (they've got a GDPR block in place), which, if significant, would be a grand total of ONE source.
You contend that he's notable outside the context of his candidacy.
He founded his company in 2000. Did anybody create an article then? No.
The company got some coverage of a controversy in 2009. Did anybody create an article then? No.
Has anybody thought his company passed WP:NCORP and created or tried to create an article for Gateway Mortage or Gateway Mortage Group? No.
He stands for election in 2018 and in the run up to the election an article appears. And we're invited to believe that it's because of previously existing notability - even though, in your own words, you'd "never heard of this guy until right before".
If he's elected, you deserve credit for the article and it should be restored. Until then, give us credit for looking at the evidence and calling it for what it is - a biography of an unelected candidate created in the election period. Cabayi (talk) 13:34, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I already pointed out above, every candidate in every election always has campaign coverage — so if the existence of campaign coverage were in and of itself enough to exempt a candidate who wasn't already notable for other reasons besides the candidacy from having to win the election to pass NPOL, then NPOL would never apply to anybody at all anymore and we would always have to keep an article about every candidate. So no, there is only one way that a candidate's campaign coverage gets them over GNG all by itself as an exemption from having to pass NPOL first — it happens only when the campaign coverage has exploded so far out of proportion to what every other candidate everywhere else is also getting that he has a credible claim to being a special case over and above most other candidates. And no, you haven't shown that to be true here at all. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bearcat, don't you also live in Toronto? I thought you did, so you must have noticed that, in yesterday's election for Mayor there were a whole bunch of nobodies on the ballot, who did not receive meaningful coverage. So, no, not every candidate always gets press coverage.

    With regard to the kind of coverage most candidates get, during their campaign... We don't cover the press coverage of 99 percent of candidates for the same reason we don't cover 99 percent of murderers. Sadly, from a statistical point of view, most murderers are predictably very similar. Most murderers were drunk, or on drugs, or were involved with petty crime, like robbery or drug dealing, or were brutal domestic abusers, or some combination there-of. This means most murders are already covered in the general articles we have on drug abuse, robbery, domestic abuse, etc. However, there are murders with exceptional circumstances, that trigger coverage of the exceptional circumstances. Cops shooting individuals who turn out to be unarmed, or innocent bystanders? Those are exceptional circumstances, and we cover them. Similarly, most candidates platforms, are some variation of memes floating around, all over. But when there is press coverage saying a candidate has an exceptional plank in their platform, something new and unique, that adds considerable notability. Saron Gebressellasi, for instance, called for public transit to be free, for everyone, IMO a platform plank so unique, and widely commented upon, that it alone lifted her close to our threshhold for notabilty.

    Since you also live in Toronto you know about failed candidates, like Sarah Thompson, who would have been one of those non-notable also-rans, if she hadn't leveled reasonable credible accusations that the incumbent used a photo-op to fondle her, and make sexual overtures to her.

    When press coverage of a candidate is exceptional, it may make them pass our inclusion criteria, even though they are likely to be an also-ran. Geo Swan (talk) 20:49, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Firstly, I was referring to federal or state elections, not municipal ones — there is not a single gubernatorial or congressional candidate anywhere in the United States, for example, who could not show every bit as much coverage as this shows. But no, it's not actually true that any mayoral candidates in Toronto received no coverage at all — certainly most didn't get as much coverage as Tory and Keesmaat, but there was no candidate who really, truly received none. Even the candidate who had the media actively draw a full-blown cordon sanitaire around her still got some media coverage. (And as for Saron Gebressellasi, "offers a unique campaign plank" is not a notability criterion that lifts a non-winning minor mayoral candidate close to or over the notability line either — her sole basis for getting over the bar, as of today, would be if she could already have claimed preexisting notability for other reasons completely divorced from her status as a candidate. And no, Sarah Thomson didn't get over the line on the Gropegate allegations either: when she got tested at AFD, Wikipedia consensus put her over the line on her preexisting work as publisher of a newspaper, not as a person who might or might not have gotten groped by the mayor — the latter would just make her a WP:BLP1E, not a person who had earned permanent coverage in a worldwide encyclopedia.) Bottom line is that the volume of press coverage shown in this article is not "exceptional" for the purposes of getting him past our inclusion criteria — it's simply the normal and expected volume, not anything out of the ordinary. Passing GNG is not just a loose giveaway that we hand to every person who can simply show that some media coverage of them exists — it's a question of evaluating the depth and range of coverage and the context of what the person is getting coverage for, not just of counting up the footnotes and keeping everybody who happens to surpass two (a low bar which, as I've pointed out many times before, would mean we would have to keep an article about my mother's neighbour who got media coverage a few years ago for finding a pig in her yard.) GNG is not just an arbitrary number of footnotes: it tests for depth and range and context. Bearcat (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, he is the nominee of a major party ticket for the highest office in a state. He meets the standard. He is also leading in the polls right now. -capriaf

Leading in the polls at any given time during the campaign is not a notability freebie for a candidate. People can lead in the polls during the campaign and still lose (see: Hillary Clinton, who no reliable poll at any point in the entire campaign ever showed losing) and candidates can trade the lead over the course of the campaign (see: Tom Mulcair, who would be Prime Minister of Canada right now if leading the polls at the start of the campaign were more determinative than leading the polls at the end of the campaign were) — so NPOL gets passed by winning the election, not by leading in polls during the campaign. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Where in this article is there any notability-supporting coverage of his business career as its own thing? People do not get over our notability standards for businesspeople just because their background as businesspeople gets mentioned in the campaign coverage — they get over our notability standards for businesspeople only if and when enough coverage of their career in business itself can be shown, but there's no evidence of it present here. Bearcat (talk) 17:45, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep per WP:GNG, there is plenty of coverage of Stitt in reliable sources. He will likely (to use the language of pollsters) be the next governor of Oklahoma anyway, so this exercise seems pointless from a statistical standpoint. -- Tavix (talk) 20:33, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Updating to "Strong Keep" after even more sources has been added to his article. I have no doubts that he meets the standards for inclusion required by WP:GNG. -- Tavix (talk) 15:55, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:PROMO, per nom.
Per WP:NPOL, a candidate must exceed coverage than expected for a campaign.
Per WP:GNG, a subject must be covered extensively by the media (though NPOL overrides this, as the coverage can't be solely WP:MILL campaign coverage.
I avoided creating this page myself per WP:POLOUTCOMES, which would typically argue that a REDIRECT to the election he or she is notable for is sufficient, until they win the election.
See the following AFDs for similar results to this:
Bill Lee – Tennessee businessman and Gubernatorial candidate, redirected to the 2018 election
Shawn Moody – Maine businessman and Gubernatorial candidate, redirected to the 2018 election
Tony Campbell – Maryland businessman and Senate candidate, redirected to the 2018 election
This article was previously deleted for not being notable (see this AfD discussion).
So please, do not let this article stay as is. The revision history will be maintained with a redirect, so in the likely scenario that he wins (though not guaranteed - see WP:CRYSTAL), the article can be restored to its current state.

Redditaddict69, just about everything you said is incorrect. No evidence of wp:promo; wp:npol doesn't say that and it doesn't "override" wp:n; the previous ADF you mention was for a different Kevin Stitt not related to this guy; and the three other ADF examples you gave are not even close to the press this guy has gotten. Sparkie82 (tc) 04:03, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - nominator implies Stitt has only been covered with regard to his recent run for political office. Bzzzt.
  1. There is press coverage [16] of a 2009 incident that got him banned from doing business in Georgia, for five years.
  2. 2015 coverage of a ground breaking.
  3. 2011 coverage of Stitt's role in a SEC inquiry.
  • They are not sufficient for GNG, though they count towards it. If another 1-3 good and reliable sources can be found, this may be able to be kept. Otherwise I still stand by my vote to redirect (though I wouldn't be against merging some of the content that passes WP:V and relates to the candidacy to the election article). Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs) 03:18, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redditaddict69 you used the passive voice. Did you spend a minute to perform your own web search, for coverage of Stitt at non-campaign events? I never intended the four references I offered above to be comprehensive.

      Policy calls upon nominators to comply with WP:BEFORE, and take a good look for references not yet included in the article they are considering looking to delete. If their search shows the underlying topic measures up to our inclusion criteria, they are supposed to reconsider calling for deletion.

      Sadly, anyone with experience at AFD knows lots of nominators either never do a web search to determine the underlying notability of the topic, because they object to BEFORE, or made an attempt to do a web search, but were too inexperienced, or too poorly motivated to have done an effective search. Wikidocument don't require it, but I wish they did -- I encourage you, and everyone else here, to take a minute to do your own web search on Stitt. Geo Swan (talk) 16:09, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Geo Swan: I did, in fact, do a WP:BEFORE. On Google, I searched Kevin Stitt minus three words (gubernatorial, governor, and vote, to narrow down any results related to the election). These are my results, and clearly, I cannot find anything about him that has not already been mentioned here. I spent about 15-20 minutes looking for articles with different keywords, searches, phrases, and search engines and I stand by my previous vote, which is to redirect to the election. I know many nominators do not do a BEFORE search but even after I did, I found nothing. Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs) 20:00, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • SportingFlyer, we have the General Notability Guideline, and we have a bunch of exceptional special purpose notability guidelines, like POLITICIAN. Special purpose notability guidelines, like POLITICIAN are exceptional because an individual can have their notability established through them for just a single exceptional notability factor.

    When the community has concluded an individual's notability is established through GNG it means contributors added up the notability conferred by notability factors. No offense but you seem to be making a common but incorrect argument. Winning a Medal of Honor, or a Victoria Cross, is one of those special purpose notability criteria. Traditionally we always consider such individuals worthy of a standalone article, even if they don't measure up to GNG. The common mistake is to argue that lesser medals, like the Silver Star, Bronze Star, are irrelevant. Like the notability factors I mentioned above, while a lesser medal doesn't establish an individual as notable, all by itself, it is a notability factor that adds to the individual's cumulative notability.

    Please understand that multiple contributors here claimed BLP1E applies. But BLP1E only applies to previously unknown individuals. When an individual has received earlier coverage, they can't, by definition, be a BLP1E. No, none of the prior coverage would establish Stitt's notability, all by itself. But, first, they establish he is not a BLP1E, so the closing admin should ignore all comments here that merely say he should be deleted because he was a BLP1E; second, we add notability factors together. Geo Swan (talk) 15:58, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Geo Swan I really do not understand what you're talking about with your medal analogies - Stitt did not win any medals and has not become a notable candidate because he was mentioned in two articles years before his election. Merely being mentioned in an article before one becomes a WP:BLP1E doesn't disqualify WP:BLP1E. SportingFlyer talk 23:25, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I just added another dozen or so sources to the article including, AP NEWS, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, etc. This race and Stitt has captured attention from national media and prominent national politicians because it's a tight race and the governorship may flip parties. Also, there was much more coverage of his exploits prior to the campaign, which I added sources for. Sparkie82 (tc) 04:04, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These articles are part of a series of tens of geographical stubs (settlements as well as mountains) created some ten years ago, presumably as part of a WP page creation drive. They all fail WP:V, GNG and WP:GEOLAND. I've done BEFORE on them as well as following the markers (which all lead to random terrain, scrubland, wadi beds and, in one case, an oil terminal) and they are all simply misleading cruft that has led to thousands of pages of rubbish spawning all over the Internet and obscuring the actual, verifiable geography of the UAE. I'm completing this nomination on behalf of Alexandermcnabb who wrote the nomination and did Before. Szzuk (talk) 08:13, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. As noted I completed this nomination for another user. I think we should delete all of these articles per the nom's argument.

Bit of a corner case, but it appears that this term was coined and then referenced exactly 3 times in 7 years [17](along the lines of "there's also this hypothetical thing called a fasciacyte"). I suggest this does not constitute sufficient uptake and/or verification for an article, which would be based on the original publication alone. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:34, 1 October 2018 (UTC) Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:34, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • This could possibly be merged to Hyaluronic acid but I am concerned that the status of this research has not been established. Wikipedia should not be stating that these cells definitely exist when there is no evidence that other scholars have confirmed this, or even taken an interest in the work. It may be TOOSOON to be covering this on the basis of just the one original paper. I wouldn't be too concerned about the neoligism as such – if a human cell type exists then it is going to get notable enough to have an article. If it ends up with a different name, we would just have to move the page to the new title. SpinningSpark 23:23, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • For the avoidance of doubt, my !vote is don't keep a standalone page. I'm undecided whether it should be kept as a redirect. If it is redirected, the target article should state that this is based on one research paper, and not that the existence of this cell is an established fact. SpinningSpark 17:43, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that the presence of such cells may be hypothetical, albeit I was the one who wrote the Faciacyte article. The recent publication (in 2018) revealed that proposed hyaluron producing cells have round shape while other two studies from the same researchers in 2011 (published in Surg Radiol Anat) and 2013 (published in J Anat) reported that those cells rather had elongated shape. The results are contradictory here. In the mean time, I believe the article could be merged to Hyaluronic acid saying something like "The term fasciacyte was coined to describe fibroblast-like cells that synthesise hyaluronan.", citing all three previous papers. What do you think? And of course when there is enough evidence there can be a standalone page. --Athikhun.suw (talk) 04:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree some of these sources should be removed/cleaned up; however, The California Department of Business Oversight is a Government Organization that monitors financial institutions in California. It is 100% independent. - The WSJ article on the $100M credit facility from Victory Park Capital and piece on naming rights for LoanMart Field show this company as notable.

There are valid independent sources and the article should be improved upon, not deleted. Cofeebk23 (talk) 12:20, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Legal documents (including the 2 PDFs from the California Department of Business Oversight) are primary sources and are not considered independent, especially for the purpose of evaluating notability. The Wall Street Journal writeup is specifically excluded by WP:CORPDEPTH as an example of "trivial coverage", since it is a brief announcement of a capital transaction. — Newslinger talk 23:14, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak keep Since she appears on the fr and ja wikipedias, although those are stub articles too. I'm surprised there isn't acknowledgement of the composer she works with Kenji Yamamoto. I feel like people who work together should probably have separate articles on wikipedia. We don't want the Donna Strickland fiasco again. Sorry, i don't know the wikipedia policies that are relevant here. Fred (talk) 16:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As an aside to the point of her working with Kenji Tamamoto, notability isn't inherited.JC7V-constructive zone 22:12, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
She has an article on Catalan Wikipedia as well. (And if someone could add those cross-wiki links under the current process, I'd appreciate it.

  • Minako Hamano composed music for Link's Awakening which received a Nintendo Power award for its sound and music. usgamer.net ran an article dedicated to the soundtrack for Link's Awakening describing it as "a powerful soundtrack that's unrivalled on the Game Boy". Minako Hamano composed music for Super Metroid which factmag.com lists in the top 5 best SNES soundtracks. That makes them notable compositions. Her work has been remixed and rearranged by other composers in the video game industry. Her work (in Super Metroid) has been arranged for and by at least two world class orchestras: The London Philharmonic Orchestra and WDR Funkhausorchester Köln. Her work (again in Super Metroid) has been sampled by others several times, and in particular by Vast Aire https://www.whosampled.com/sample/235824/Vast-Aire-Kenyattah-Black-The-Cannon-of-Samus-Minako-Hamano-Opening-(Destroyed-Science-Academy-Research-Station)/. These meet the standard for WP:COMPOSER. Drj11 (talk) 08:16, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unfortunately I don't think she passes WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. While Link's Awakening did win a Nintendo Power Award for sound, that award isn't on the notability criteria list (it's just a video game award given Nintendo Power magazine; the most relevant SNG criteron in this case would be WP:NVIDEOGAMES, which points out that awards and nominations do not by themselves demonstrate a game's notability, so I would assume the same for the video game soundtrack). Nor can we use the fact that she has article in other wikiprojects, as they may have simply created articles there because we had one here (WP:CIRCULAR). I think we have to rely on GNG here, and unfortunately I have to agree with the nominator: I'm just not seeing anything that resembles sufficient in-depth coverage in reliable sources to merit a standalone article. If the music were that notable, I would have expected more coverage of it in the Link's Awakening article; unfortunately there is only passing mention (a little more than one small paragraph) of it there as well. I would support someone expanding the music coverage in Link's Awakening, perhaps even creating its own subsection. CThomas3 (talk) 20:43, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. "Aspiring Representative " is not in sufficient depth- it is an interview with subject. ""This Thing Called Corruption" was written by the subject. "The psychology of financial inclusion" is not about the subject; it is by the subject. "Learning Impact unveils local electronic newspaper" is routine coverage of the launch of his e-paper and lacks coverage in depth of him or the e-paper. Redirect to an article about the race he is running in would be an acceptable alternative if there were independent coverage, but there is not. This article serves as little more than a soapbox for his campaign.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:16, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won yet — but this makes no strong claim of preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him an article independently of the candidacy, and it doesn't show credible evidence of why his candidacy itself would be a special case over and above everybody else's candidacies.

Trivial promotional article for a minor company. Revenue $60 million a year--it is listed on the Taiwanese stock exchange, and the fact that they list it makes it clear that such listing should not be taken to imply notability . (And even if one thought it usually did so imply, this would be an exception, because the references are either from the company or mere routine reports, and do not meet NCORP. DGG ( talk ) 01:03, 16 October 2018 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn, see below DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:LISTED on a major stock exchange. 1000+ employee company is not insignificant in a place like Taiwan. Darn near every pageant winner (for example) is way less significant than any public companies. This is not a promotional article, it is just factual. It was created by someone who was looking for English info on the company and surprised no Wikipedia page existed. Given time and editors with good Chinese skills I am confident many additional sources can be brought to bear on this page, just like every other public company generates significant coverage in reliable sources. Please don't let English source bias lead us to kill valid topics.
There is a public good in covering public companies. They are often signifocant employers, and pension funds and the general public tend to invest in these companies. They also suport suppliers and genrally make an economic impact in the areas they operate. Hundreds of thousand of people are genrally impacted by even a small cap public company. Wikipedia has become so scared of "promotion" we hae moved to giving auto-notability to Olympic athletes who won nothing and for whom we can often find no bio info (so what notability is there and who cares about them?) but we throw out profiles of companies that operate for decades employing thousands of people, selling millions in products and finding their way into the retirement account of countless people. It is messed up. Legacypac (talk) 01:27, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(1)There is a public good in covering notable public companies. public ≠ notable, or even to important or significant That we have excessive coverage in some fields is no reason to have it in others. DGG ( talk ) 05:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Except many AfDs have found Listed = Notable. Would you advocate that notability standards be set much lower for athletes and pageant winners than companies? Because this is not a matter of over coverage but of standards for notability. Legacypac (talk) 06:04, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree on your point, DGG, if we were talking about a penny stock with 20 employees, a MCap of $500k and only traded OTC. But with almost 1000 employees CCP is categorized according to the OECD as a "Large Enterprise" [18] and statistically among the top 2% of enterprises in terms of size. I think Wikipedia should establish some fixed rules that are based on the number of employees, listed/non-listed, mcap, world-coverage that can be measured to decide if a company is notable or not, exceptions from these rules are always possible.Jole222 (talk) 09:53, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I am the main author of the article to put that upfront. I would argue the same as Legacypac. The company is listed on a major stock exchange and as such of interest to investors worldwide. With around 1000 employees and multiple suppliers, it affects thousands of people. Apart from that: The company is not a simple manufacturer that makes generic screws but has its own research and development team and almost everyone has had its products unknowingly in their hand before. No one had heard of the battery suppliers of Samsung before the Galaxy Note 7 exploded and I personally don't think it needs a scandal to make a publicly listed company notable. If the article appears to be promotional please help me to take out phrases that give that impression. I will also try to change the company history to be more relevant, but I haven't found sources that I can read, and I prefer not to base the article on google translate.
Last but not least. Countries like Taiwan, Germany or Japan have a strong base of mid-size companies that export niche products worldwide. A good example would be Farber-Castell. If we follow a strict notability argument we would have to exclude this company. After all: it just makes pencils. Jole222 (talk) 12:03, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I approved this article at AfC after discussion at the AfC help desk, despite the fact that DGG had rejected it as contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia and not notable. I believe the subject is likely to be sufficiently covered the meet WP:NCORP in it's own language due to it's status as a nationally important employer, manufacturer, and exchange listed company. There are 1,572,640 companies in Taiwan.[19] Only 917 are relevant enough to be listed.[20]Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 13:26, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am actually not merely willing but eager to replace the GNG with subject-oriented guidelines, and would be certainly consider even such a broad one as listed companies--in fact I would consider almost any level as long as it gave a definite standard. But the discussion at AfD have always held that for most subject specific guidelines, they only give a presupposition of notability, and the actual standard is NCORP. And I generally give an opinion in line with what I think is the current interpretation. So what is being suggested here? That we have an article for every listed company and ALSO for the unlisted companies that pass NCORP? I'm not sure I would support that, but I would support Any listed company + those that an be shown to be of equal importance in some definite manner. DGG ( talk ) 23:06, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly not every listed company. But Wikipedia could define the main Exchanges of each country and use them as a reference to determine their relevance as those exchanges have their procedures regarding who can get listed and who can't (proper auditing, etc.). That would automatically exclude OTCs, non-audited small caps and penny stock (unless of course, they meet NCORP). It would also be in line with Legacypac comment regarding public interest and pension funds, etc. as those funds are usually only allowed to buy and trade stocks on main exchanges. Jole222 (talk) 01:15, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment2' Based on this discussion , I shall be preparing a proposal. I thank those who challenged me for giving me reason to think further. DGG ( talk ) 15:18, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd exclude listed shell companies, but any company that gets itself listed for trading on a major exchange has to go through significant vetting and abide by significant reporting requirements. That in itself generates a lot of info on the company. If you wamt help on the proposal ping me. Legacypac (talk) 15:30, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Changing to keep, and withdrawing the nomination. On the basis of discussions here and elsewhere , I now agree with Legacypac's position, as refined by Jole222 as applied to public companies on major national exchanges, even if they are not the highest level exchanges of international repute. We still need to be relatively selective to discourage articles that will primarily attract promotionalism, but I (and many of us) have gradually come to an over-extensive use of this justification. We should better fight promotionalism by focusing more on removing promotional content within articles, and dealing more effectively with promotional editors, leaving deletion for the articles that cannot be improved.

This article is an extended dictionary definition, WP:NOTDICTIONARY, combined with trivia about how people resign for reasons, how people resign from even resign from high-level positions (which we had no reason to doubt to begin with), and how (this is still dictionary-level coverage) there are a couple of other words for it depending on the circumstances. It also includes a few assorted examples of people resigning and random rules that may apply to resignation from some positions, with no unifying feature that tells us about resignation, as though it were an encyclopedic topic to begin with.

Don't condescend. If you want to point to a specific one of the sixteen different pointers given in WP:BEFORE, please tell me what you think I overlooked, instead of superciliously throwing a blanket WP:BEFORE at me, as though this were my first rodeo and I'd never even conceived of looking at it. I've been here a long time, I've pointed other people to WP:BEFORE (like when they based a judgement of non-notability solely on sourcing in the article), I nominated this in good faith thinking I'd given it due consideration, and I'd appreciate it if you'd talk to me in that light. Or would you like me to throw WP:AGF and WP:CIVIL at you for declaring my nomination "misbegotten"? Largoplazo (talk) 19:56, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Section C. Improvability; alternatives to deletion. Please reconsider your approach. Your good faith has nothing to do with the inquiry. In fact, i WP:AGF, which is why I suggest you examine your conscience and modus operandi. If I thought you were beyond repair, I would have said nothing. We will have to agree to disagree.
Please understand, I was not impugning your integrity. Reasonable minds may differ, and good faith mistakes happen. We are all volunteers here, so I apologize if I came on too strong.
But I am firm in my conviction that this article can and should be salvaged, not deleted. There are thousands of articles on this subject at Google Scholar and HighBeam Research. That is why they have the Find Sources section at the top on this AFD nomination. It's not there as a hat rack. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen () 20:05, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
