Actress I'm trying to find anything for. She apparently has only one role (for a short film that does not even have a Wikipedia page) and nothing else. I can't find anything for her (not even a IMDB page at the very least, which shows for something), all I can find are wiki mirrors. Wgolf (talk) 23:22, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article has also been significantly updated since the nomination, so I encourage Bilorv to review the updated article.

Peterson–Žižek debate

Peterson–Žižek debate (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

Debates are not typically something we consider notable on Wikipedia - e.g. we don't (as far as I can see) have any articles on specific Intelligence Squared debates or any similar kinds of things. Category:Debates reveals a few individual in-person debate events like Gadamer–Derrida debate or Cassirer–Heidegger debate, whose notability I'm not convinced of, but even accepting that, this is a different case. Unlike Derrida or Heidegger, Peterson and Žižek are not seminal scholars in their fields, merely popular figures (the philosophy equivalents of pop scientists, one could say). Peterson isn't even a professional political theorist or philosopher - instead his scholarly expertise is in psychology. The only thing that would convince me that this individual debate is notable would be an unusually large amount of media coverage but I don't believe that that's the case here, having looked at the references in the article and attempted to find additional sources (the best I could find was an article about memes, which is not any use). — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 23:21, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Whilst wikipedia does not as a rule have articles on debates, this debate was strongly billed as the debate of our century. That it turned out to be a discussion of where the participants agreed rather than differed, and that both tended to the conclusion that mankind is heading towards apocalypse will no doubt result in much more discussion in RS and this article will provide a useful focus rather than disparate discussions in the protagonists' individual articles. Give the article some time. Poltair (talk) 00:58, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sources for "strongly billed as"? I'm not disputing that the debate was interesting but "will no doubt result in [more sources]" is WP:CRYSTAL. It needs to be notable now to be kept. We can move it to draft space if it's potentially notable one day. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 10:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is in fact considerable reliable source coverage of this debate and its importance in reliable sources, including sources that are not in the article now (or about memes). These include the Economist, the FEE, Jacobin, and the Chronicle of Higher Education. It is therefore clear that GNG is met here, especially given discussion of this event's (potential) significance (e.g. "the Peterson-Zizek encounter could be the most important public debate since Chomsky and Foucault nearly half a century ago. Indeed, it would be the natural sequel to Chomsky/Foucault." [1]). IntoThinAir (talk) 02:22, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note that The Economist source is already in the article. Thanks for the other sources though. They are useful, but I'd note that the Foundation for Economic Education is a libertarian think-tank (so I don't really trust its judgement on what is "the most important public debate") and the Jacobin is a Marxist magazine. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 10:03, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It does not matter if a specific source is of this or that ideological perspectice if it is reliable.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 16:24, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing out the Economist was in the article, I have stricken it. IntoThinAir (talk) 14:13, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bilorv Jacobin isn't strictly Marxist. It's a democratic socialist magazine founded by a sometimes Marxist. Not to get into small differences but the distinction is worth making. MainlyTwelve (talk) 21:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as previous editors said, also another report is from Now Toronto. As well, it is notable that a European national televison like Hrvatska Radiotelevizija ([2], [3]) is going to broadcast the debate these days, as well Croatian mainstream media has extensive pre- and post-reports on it (post-reports Jutarnji list, Index.hr). Perhaps even other mainstream medias throught the world reported on the debate.--Miki Filigranski (talk) 16:24, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Unambiguously notable, even a cursory Google search reveals ongoing coverage from Russian, British, American, and Canadian outlets. There might not be a great deal of precedent for this sort of article, but that doesn't disqualify it from inclusion.--MainlyTwelve (talk) 21:02, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I created the article because of the extensive discussion online for a very long time since it was announced and during the event itself, such as in that "Peterson" and "Zizek" were the top two trending things on Twitter a few days ago. The debate received more media attention since this talk page's creation, including the Guardian (which had "the debate of the century" as its headline), and RT.com. I'll add these to the page in the meantime.--Battle Salmon (talk) 16:24, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Bilorv mentions that Wikipedia does not ordinarily include debates as articles unless they are notable and failed to mention the Vidal-Buckley debated. I suddenly decided to pull that one up because, I thought, certainly it exists, and it is the closest analogue I can think of to the Peterson–Žižek debate. Suddenly I was stunned: it simply doesn't exist! There's an entire award-winning documentary film about those debates and yet the article doesn't exist. The lack of existence of that article, however, is a failure on the part of Wikipedia, and not a failure of the subject's notability. And like those debates, this debate is also certainly notable enough to have a Wikipedia page. They are subjects which any reasonable person would think to look up on Wikipedia and be surprised they couldn't find them.Malan88 (talk) 19:54, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

while the United States’ college system is seen as the go-to route into the sporting world for budding young stars. In Britain, however, there has often been a suspicion of the role formal education can play in the world of football, while players who have not been snapped up by a professional club by their late teenage years are routinely written off. As such, university teams are widely viewed as an outlet for hobbyists, rather than a serious endeavour which could lead to a professional career.

WP:BLP of a person notable primarily as a former head of a county government and non-winning candidate for higher office. Neither of these represents an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL just because she exists, but the article is not showing any reliable source coverage to demonstrate that she would get over WP:GNG for it: it is referenced entirely to raw primary source tables of election results, with not even one hit of media coverage about her shown at all.

This is a bucket list with a weird and incoherent mix of things which have caused human death. There's no coherence in its scope; in date ranges chosen; in geographic locales.

  • reasons the nomination itself fails - by Sederecarinae

    In WP:DEL-REASON, Of the 14 listed reasons in WP:DEL-REASON, the article doesn't fulfill any of the 14.

    WP:BEFORE (in WP:AFD) links to WP:DEL-REASON via the link anchor "valid grounds for deletion" ie, AFD describes deletion-reason (the list of 14 reasons) as being the "valid grounds"

    Sederecarinae (talk) 17:10, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • the nomination fails also on the grounds,

    Wikipedia:GDBN :

    Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case (links to criteria for speedy deletion), consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD.

    Investigate the possibility of rewriting the article yourself (or at least creating a stub on the topic and requesting expansion) instead of deleting it.

    First do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the {{notability}} template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth.

    The nominating editor didn't investigate the possibility of rewriting the article, or look for sources. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth.

    Sederecarinae (talk) 17:32, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    1. it can't be a "bucket list" https://bucketlist.org/ because such a list is a list of things to do before one dies, not a list of causes of death. The article doesn't describe "List" of anything in the title; the article isn't intended to be a list at this time since I haven't determined the amount of possible source material available, there might be scope for discussion of the different causes, in addition to a listing of datum for years showing number of deaths.

      reasons why the reasons given by Tagashimon are unnacceptable, (including also reasons why the nomination is without sufficient reason) - by Sederecarinae

    2. "incoherent / no coherence" - is obviously not true, as the determination of subject is causes of death and all the contents fulfills the title
    3. "the date ranges chosen, in geographical locales" - you should simply wait for the article to develop, the criticism is premature, since the article hasn't existed for very much time, and I haven't been able to include full ranges due insufficient time to search for contents to include
    4. "no very good logic nor criteria for what should and should not be included" the criteria is human-cause as explained in the lead - you might think this isn't any criteria at all (as the article was redirected to the article about causes of death previously) the article redirected to at that time, contains information on the biological cause of death Cardiovascular diseases, Infectious diseases et cetera that are by medical definition (i.e. are within the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) critieria, and the range is rather large, contains 79 or 80 causes of death, although some of the criteria : war, poisoning, fire, road traffic accidents are included, they make-up only a small number of the approximately 79-80 causes, obviously the fact that the data is from 2002 only is something to do with the fact of the range being too great for the article to contain all the datum.Plus the article there shows " data from 2002 and is out of date", this article contains more updated information, and as I mentioned in the previous sentence, is of a more limited criteria (excluding diseases, and natural disasters, i.e. human-made) which gives this article more space to include detail for data for years
    5. "It's a mess and it will always be a mess." looks like political rhetoric, I think you just feel negatively in reaction to the subject matter and want the article to simply go away, if you were an authority on the subject, you would have asserted the truth of your statement "will always be a mess" at the initial challenge against the article, the whole concern with messiness is just a reiteration of the previous criticisms, which is the criticisms are based simply on the organisation of the article, but you fail to include any mention of the invalidity of the subject, if you doubt my abilities as an editor, why not collaborate, as it is a group effort to create the encyclopedia, as you are aware? Your addition of suggested deletion is less important than an effort to contribute to the article and create an encyclopedia, as is the purpose of wikipedia.

opinions of deletion by interested editors, and opinions against, made by Sederecarinae

  • Delete per nom. I suppose someone could create Unnatural causes of death (as an adjunct to Category:Causes of death), but this article is DOA, an agglomeration of stats for random years, ranging from war to one "meat-blender accident". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:07, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • DOA you state the reason is DOA because of agglomeration of stats for random years, ranging from war to one "meat-blender accident" which is a rather weak support for the implication DOA (dead on arrival) indicates the article has no value. The only actual reason in criticisms you've made (that the article shouldn't be given any life at all), is random. (DOA doesn't strictly state anything about the article other than, you don't like the article, it has no life ... but why the article is dead?, DOA simply expresses your preference, but who are you that your opinion is any more valid than thousands or millions of other people who would find the article something they would prefer to look at, that the article should be deleted at this early stage of development)

      random years the years aren't random, as I've indicated in 3)

      the other accidental deaths (i.e. "meat-blender accident") are included to indicate the existence of a range of low statistical occurrence types of death, with the intention of finding occurences for a more geographically larger area, and a more complete statistic for the types, in the future of the article for each type of death.

      The reason why I didn't title the article unnatural causes of death (or something similar) is because the identification of non-natural with humanity implies humans are non-natural - i.e the cause of death was road traffic accident, but a human was driving, nuclear device, but a human released the bomb from an aircraft. Unnatural death is true of Aircraft disasters as the cause of the passengers deaths is mechanical fault, or electric fault, or some other fault, I don't know exactly; a failure of the integrity of the craft as a result of human error, or material error, resulting in a flaw in the aircrafts integrity, plus the interaction of the flaw with the physical environment, during flight, causing the failure of the craft to remain airborne.

  • Delete Not a useful list and too much synthesis. Dheerajmpai23 (talk) 14:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- The content is a strange sampling of bits and pieces, and does not seem to serve any encyclopedic purpose. There is no obvious place to merge any of this content, and the title is not a useful redirect because of the grammatical error. Unclear rationale for deprod. Reyk YO! 15:20, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • looking at Wikipedia:Introduction to deletion process:

      "When to use the deletion process? Articles that the community feels cannot improve, or are unlikely to improve, are often deleted.

      "When to not use deletion process? Articles that are in bad shape – these can be tagged for cleanup or attention, or improved through editing. Articles we are not interested in – some topics are of interest only to some people, but since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia, articles that interest some people should be kept. Articles on topics you wish didn't exist for personal belief reasons – Wikipedia contains information on all topics, not just those which any person or group agrees with.

      deletion is a last resort. Deletion nominations rarely improve articles, and deletion should not be used as a way to improve an article, or a reaction to a bad article. It is appropriate for articles which cannot be improved.

      & WP:DEL-REASON: Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page)

      Of the 14 listed reasons in WP:DEL-REASON, the article doesn't fulfill any of the 14.

      I can't see how editors preferring deletion have adhered to the criteria for deletion as described in the the two page Sederecarinae (talk) 16:46, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • WP:AFD If you want to nominate an article, the Wikipedia deletion policy explains the criteria for deletion, and may help you understand when an article should be nominated for deletion. The guide to deletion explains the deletion process. If an article meets the criteria for deletion and you understand the process, consult the instructions below.

  • Delete per nom and others; does not have clear and reasonable selection criteria MB 17:38, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • is an inadmissible, unacceptable reason because selection criteria is a sub-heading of "Appropriate topics for lists" of the article Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists, not a reason for deletion. The reason given by User:MB is an observation the article nominated doesn't fulfil the criteria for a List, that is all. This is already described in my first response at 1), I didn't title the article List anything, that is a failing of the nominating editor to have thought the article is a list in any case, because it isn't titled a list and the contents aren't intended to be a list. Even if the article were intended to be a list but is not fulfilling the criteria, is not a legitimate reason for deletion, is infact more or less an irrelevant fact. Sederecarinae (talk) 17:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Please stop telling everybody that they're wrong because their argument is not enumerated in WP:DEL-REASON. That list is not comprehensive (Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following). WP:LSC is a guideline, which means you're expected to follow it aside from the occasional exception, and if that's not possible to do for a page then it's a perfectly valid rationale for deletion. The fact the page's title doesn't contain "List" doesn't mean it's not a list. Hut 8.5 18:09, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • that is not correct because as I've described WP:BEFORE (in WP:AFD) links to WP:DEL-REASON via the link anchor "valid grounds for deletion" ie, AFD describes deletion-reason (the list of 14 reasons) as being the "valid grounds" Sederecarinae (talk) 18:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

        • the problems of the page, identified by yourself and others could be in a large part addressed by the cleanup or disputed templates, in addition, the fact that you have identified are not limited to, their are 14 criteria listed wouldn't you think that that fact of there being 14 listed indicates the 14 idenbtified were important enough to show on the the page, and reasons other than the 14 aren't as important a reason for deletion as one or more of the 14, the first is criteria for speedy deletion which does indicate that the 1st reason is the most important reason for deletion in the 14, and Deletion is last resort. In considering reasons other than those shown in the list of 14 reasons:

          The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)

          • WP:DEL is a policy, it has official status and people are expected to follow it. The other page you've linked to does not have official status and is attempting to briefly summarise part of the deletion policy. The fact it doesn't mention all the bits of that section does not mean anything. Hut 8.5 18:47, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
            • As I've mentioned, the first listed reason is criteria for speedy deletion, which must include the most obvious and strongest reasoned arguments for the deletion of an article (being the fastest response to the need for deletion), the second, copyright violations is also comparatively a strong reason, being an actual legal obligation, and the list therefore must presumably proceed by number accordingly, going down the numbers indicates lesser important reasons. This article doesn't fulfil any of the 14 reasons shown, what is the actual reason? The only reason I could find is in the 14th Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information but I've provided an explanation for the statistics.

  • Delete a mess of a list, doesn't have a coherent topic and would not be useful if it was in an even vaguely complete state. The scope includes cases where people deliberately killed people but also where people were killed by people by accident, cases where people died as a result of engaging in risky behaviours and apparently even freak accidents arising from unremarkable behaviours. This isn't a coherent scope. If expanded it would be even messier, for example one section gives a breakdown of people killed by police forces in the US and US in the last few years, if expanded to cover every country in the world over the last 119 years it would take up an absurd amount of space. We have a number of other lists which present this information, such as List of causes of death by rate, Preventable causes of death, List of countries by suicide rate, List of countries by intentional homicide rate and List of wars and anthropogenic disasters by death toll, I suggest the creator contribute to those or start something with a clearly defined scope like that.

    • Is not intended to be a list, do you see list in the title? The list you've shown links to don't " present this information ", you haven't even looked at the other lists, if you had and found this article is a repition of content in the Lists you could have given the reason as a repetition of content in other articles, which is a reason for deletion, but isn't true of this article. If you look at Wikipedia:Deletion_and_deletionism#Step_One:_Verify_if_the_article_in_question_can_be_improved_rather_than_be_deleted, is messier, messiness, it is amess or anything of the description to do with messiness isn't anything at all to do with a reason for deletion, or in any of the links I've provided. Messiness is not a reason, in Deletion_and_deletionism#Step_One:_Verify_if_the_article_in_question_can_be_improved_rather_than_be_deleted shows shows See if you can find any sources easily with a 2-minute Google search. See how many Google hits the article has. If you can't easily find any sources and there are very few Google hits relating to the article, go on to step two. If you CAN find sources, though, go ahead and add references to the article Not one of you is following the description in procedure for deletion nomination, and there isn't any indication anyone has made any effort to add references to the article. The article doesn't fulfil any of the 14 criteria for deletion I've described for deletion already, what then are the actual reasons for deletion? Sederecarinae (talk) 18:08, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I get that you're new, but you don't seem to have understood the pages you're quoting here, but you have nevertheless decided that everybody else is very very wrong. For a start Wikipedia:Deletion and deletionism is an essay and therefore ultimately just someone's opinion. It doesn't have any official standing. Secondly the concerns which are being raised here can't be addressed through editing. Take the overlap argument. The list attempts to break down the casualties of the Second World War. This is done in much greater detail at World War II casualties. What is the justification for doing it separately here, exactly? I don't see anything. In fact given the scope of the list it ought to be expanded to include breakdowns of the casualties of the other wars in the 20th and 21st centuries, and There's rather a lot of those, unfortunately. And that's just the wars, never mind the sections on murder, police deaths, etc. The result would not be useful to our readers. This problem cannot be addressed through editing because it is fundamental to any page with this title and scope.
        The bit you've quoted about sources is not relevant here. The most common reason given for deletion here, by a large margin, is that the topic doesn't have adequate sourcing. People nominating pages for deletion for that reason are advised to check for the existence of suitable sources, yes. But this page hasn't been nominated for deletion for that reason. The fact that sources exist on some topic does not mean we can have an article on it. It only means we can have an article on it if it isn't disallowed for some other reason.

          • As I have already said, there is no comprehensive list of reasons why pages can be deleted here, and any logically valid argument would do.

Sederecarinae (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
              • The fact you can point to inclusion criteria does not make it not indiscriminate, because those criteria are extremely broad. As written the list includes everything from nuclear warfare to accidental electrocution by headphones as individual items. Presumably you could expand it to include accidental decapitation by helicopter and being crushed by a hay bale, along with a million others. Regarding your claim that WP:DEL-REASON is a comprehensive list, I suggest you have a look at WP:IDHT, as your reading is the exact opposite of what the policy clearly says. Hut 8.5 19:31, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
                • Is this an article? WP:DISRUPTSIGNS is with regards to editing in articles not in discussions for deletion. Is WP:IDHT a policy? You attempt to close my opinions because they don't agree with yours and a number of others. I don't agree with you and a number of other editors so my insistence on a particular opinion is thought disruptive is that it? I'm stating the list indicates, at the 1st and 2nd positions in the list the 1st most important reason and the second most important, wouldn't you agree? why the editor who created the policy listed the reasons for deletion in numerical order, instead of in a list without numbers? I haven't stated I think the list is comprehensive, where do you see the word comprehensive in my explanation prior to your comment, there isn't any mention of the word.

As to the identification of two types of death "decapitation by helicopter, crushed by a hay bale" Why not include the information you have identified, is there a reason not to? you don't actually in reality know the amount of information possible to include in the article, you're just presuming to know without any proof of the information potentially being too much to include within the article, I could (yourself or any other editor) summarise the information, move the article title accordingly, create a more specific article, there are millions or articles in wikipedia.

  • Delete I can understand the concept, but the article would need to be started over completely to have clear methodology for what to include. This is just an assortment of whatever unrelated and incomparable statistics about deaths you could find, without any coherent selection criteria. The list of "other accidental deaths" that have killed one single person could get pretty out of hand. It's very random organization, varying in sections by what years and countries are included and in what formats, which basic clean-up wouldn't fix. Preventable causes of death could be expanded to include some of this, but this is not the way to do it. Reywas92Talk 20:14, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is not possible because WP:TNT states the reasons for are usually Copyright violations and extensive cases of advocacy and undisclosed paid sock farms are frequently blown up. As I've stated before the list isn't incoherent:

      Human and artificial cause death in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries

      • Tobacco - is a natural substance, but the inclusion is because it is manufactured by humans and added to places of commerce for purchase, it is in a form which is made - cigars, cigarettes and packaged tobacco; compared to Causes of death - lung cancer, this is often caused by tobacco, but in this article the cause tobacco is given, because the article isn't about medically determined causes of death, as for example in autopsy, the coroner found the individuals death was caused by - if the coroner found lung cancer, they wouldn't state tobacco, they would state lung-cancer. In addition tobacco is included in human cause by human behaviour, as decribed in the introduction
      • Alcohol - is produced and added to flavoured beverages in manufacturing, by human behaviour, and the drinking of alcohol is a human behavior, lie smoking of tobacco.
      • Road traffic accidents - the car was invented by humans, assembled, driven at the time of death by a human
      • Illegal drugs - this is meant narcotics, classified substances particularly recreational and psychoactif drugs - which are consumed particularly for there pleasurable effects, that humans choose to take.
      • War is obvious - since it involves the intentional killing of others, or the amoral cause of death (by bombs)
    • et cetera

      the selection criteria belong to subjects of law, or social science. Sederecarinae (talk) 20:41, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Is not a actual reason > tenet : a principle, belief, or doctrine generally held to be true, https://www.etymonline.com/word/tenet, doesn't show anything that might be applied to the article, unless I'm to think you would prefer for me and others to take the 15th century sense of the word - tenet : "principle, opinion, or dogma maintained as true by a person, sect, school, etc.," properly "a thing held (to be true)," early 15c., from Latin tenet "he holds," third person singular present indicative of tenere "to hold, grasp, keep, have possession, maintain," - what isn't true about the description in the title and contents under the title. If you intend to indicate the 15th century sense, to hold, to maintain - a theme > the theme is Death > causes of death > death caused by human action or behaviour or artificial causes. I've already given the theme in this discussion elsewhere, it is:

      "the primary subject of the article is: cause of death, the secondary subject is: human made (artificial) or by human behaviour, the article seeks to describe this subject as a more specific subject to the generally defined subject Causes in the primary. Sederecarinae (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2019 (UTC)"

    • indicate where the article content fails to hold to this theme, there isn't anywhere in the article it doesn't adhere to the theme, so your criticism is invalid. As for "too much synthesis", if you look at List of causes of death by rate, you see the causes I've included in this article in the article List of causes of death by rate. In any other academic article, the headings are determined by sources and the whim of contributory editors to add material to articles they themselves think is relevant, supported by sources. There isn't any synthesis beyond the inclusion of headings in addition to those causes found in the List of causes of death by rate article, this fact is no different to any other article, which is to add facts and organise them to headings, the sources provide the information and the content made from the information becomes organised as additions are made, this is a form of synthesis, yes, what is the problem with synthesis?

      • "Synthesis" is referring to WP:SYNTHESIS, in other words you haven't taken the particular categories or statistics from any reliable source but instead you've picked some based on your own opinion. List of causes of death by rate uses a categorisation system from the WHO, which is much closer to how Wikipedia is supposed to work. It certainly isn't true that "the causes I've included in this article in the article List of causes of death by rate", because that page doesn't include decapitation by helicopter, cannibalism, people shot by police who possessed a gun or knife, meat blender accidents, nuclear warfare or most of the other categories you picked. Yes, there are plenty of articles on death, and death is a perfectly good topic to write about on Wikipedia, but it doesn't follow that every possible article about death is fine.

  • Delete/merge - The content on this page generally overlaps other articles. We don't need an overview article with this scope (restricted only to deaths with artificial causes in recent centuries); I think the existing overview articles have more straightforward scopes. No single article can cover all these topics in as fine a detail as individual incidents, so I don't see a place for this article in the encyclopedia. However, some of the other articles that should have some of the content here don't. I added links to some from appropriate places like List of causes of death by rate, and these (and linked lists and subarticles that have more detail) would be better targets for improvement:
  • Delete: if it's a list (and yes, I know the creator is saying it isn't) then it's not one with a clearly-defined or useful scope; listing all causes of deaths or all statistics of deaths worldwide in the 1900s and 2000s would require 10,000 different pages, not one list. If it's an article then it's not clear under what grounds it's notable as certainly none of the sources in the article discuss the topic "Human and artificial cause death in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries", only subtopics of this. (Consider for example a hypothetical article Relationship between grapes and deontology which has lots of sources on grapes and lots of sources on deontology; nevertheless it doesn't meet notability criteria as none of the sources discuss both in combination. This is analogous as none of the article's sources discuss the lengthy title "Human and artificial cause ... centuries".) And as the final nail in the coffin, regardless of what the page is supposed to be, it doesn't currently provide any utility to readers due to its mishmash of content and by IAR we are therefore free to TNT it. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 22:04, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      • "Load of synth" oknazevad (talk) 04:47, 24 April 2019
    • but infact there is not one example of SYNTH in the article - the opinions are like the echo of a sound in a deep-cave - they are just empty, the first mention of SYNTH seems to indicate something which I presumed must be an opinion with depth, but if I can't find how the criticism applies to the article then all I have is a criticism that is intended to enlighten me to my errors, but is infact made from a place with no light to see the actual details of the problem. SYNTH states in the first sentence > Do not combine material from multiple sources to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the sources. That is intended to communicate for example, in philosophical reasoning "Syllogism (Greek: συλλογισμός syllogismos, "conclusion, inference") is a kind of logical argument", in the syllogism article:

      All men are mortal. (would be information added to Non-natural_death_in_the_twentieth_and_twenty-first_centuries from one source)

      Socrates is a man. (would be information added to Non-natural_death_in_the_twentieth_and_twenty-first_centuries from one source)

      Therefore, Socrates is mortal.(would be the conclusion and the use of SYNTH that editors are attempting to apply to the article Non-natural_death_in_the_twentieth_and_twenty-first_centuries)

    • It is obvious that the article does not include SYNTH because there are no arguments in the article. The article is simply, to demonstrate the existence of, and to give examples of, the elements of the article title identified as "non-natural death", there are no conclusions in the article, i am not providing any arguments, it is simply about the examples of non-natural causes. SYNTH is an element of WP:OR, not an independent stand-alone criticism, there is no original research in the article, if any editor is able to see an example of when I've added original research give the example, I'm not waiting around to see the example, because there are no examples of WP:OR, so there cannot be any examples of SYNTH. This example of failure of criticism in an attempt at a line of criticism is true of many of the criticisms, typified by "per nom and all the above. User:Lugnuts 06:44, 24 April 2019 (UTC)" The argument provided by the editor is without reason, no reason is given, if a reason is given then it is simply the application of the word "reason" as some access-code to the deletion debate, without any observation of the actual meaning of reason in policy, and the underlying reason for the existence of policy. How any of these criticisms are essential enough that the article must be deleted. I have given the evidence of how the article title is valid, and in any case is already in existence at Unnatural death, as Scott A. Rushing, FSA, MAAA Head of Global Research, Jason McKinley, FSA Assistant Actuary : "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists several principal causes of non-natural deaths in the United States: accidental poisoning, motor vehicle accidents, unintentional falls, suicide by firearms or other means, homicide by firearms or other means, accidental drowning, complications from medical or surgical treatments, and accidental exposure to smoke and fire.". This source demonstrates via the CDC the legitimacy of the concept "Non-natural death" as an independently existing fact. The misapprehension of the title to "Non-natural death" being a fact of medical terminology as in "Preventable causes of death The World Health Organization has traditionally classified death according to the primary type of disease or injury. However, causes of death may also be classified in terms of preventable risk factors" for example, caused editors to therefore think it possible to criticize the article as necessarily merged to other articles, or because it doesn't fulfill either of these classifications should be deleted, is to some extent my failure to identify the general subject of the article (which is actuarial science, insurance - risk, law), not an actual reason for deletion.

@Teratix and Hut 8.5: "the creator's constant argument and walls of text are not helpful in advancing their case." "I suggest you stop with the WP:WALLOFTEXT and mass pinging, they aren't helping your case" so the reason why I'm wrong in my choices, is because I'm actually disagreeing with the other editors and have shown reasons for my disagreement in writing, is that the actual reason? Where in policy does it show my attempt at a discussion by taking any position at all in the discussion other than the majority vote, is why I'm wrong? c.f. comparison on the version at the time of nomination to the current version. The other editors arguments to deletion are rigidly adherent to their first decision of deletion, but the version are showing difference that I've made trying to incorporate their criticisms. The article is now significantly different, but I shouldn't ping the editors to attempt to gain their attention to observe the differences.

No, that's not what I said, and neither did anyone else. The problem isn't your opinion but the way you take part in the discussion. Instead of putting your opinion across reasonably concisely you opted to try to start an argument with everybody who disagreed with you, posting massive amounts of text (which discourages people from trying to read it), and when people didn't respond or stopped responding you started pinging them to insist they come back and carry on discussing it with you. This just irritates people and doesn't help your case. I suggest you read WP:BLUDGEON as it pretty accurately describes how you've gone about taking part here.

This article should be deleted or merged with its author's article at best, by the reasons that I stated in its 'Talk' page. I will copy them here, so upcoming user's do not need to go there:

"I agree, this article should be deleted. It hardly fits Wikipedia's criteria of notability. It must be remembered that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and that summary-only descriptions of works are specifically singled out as non belonging to it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information). Other than its first paragraph, this article barely resumes the concept provided by Barker (along with some citations, which does not necessarily recognizes it as of wide academic interest or respectability) and should be dealt with in that author's own article as a subsection. Having roughly a dozen of citations about a term or work is not enough to consider it 'highly cited', as Wikipedia's guidelines state that these kinds of subjects must be (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Specific_criteria_notes); specially when other works and concepts have them by hundreds. Not to mention, also, that in academic disciplines that are so narrow as the study of sociological tendencies in late XX century European media, further guidelines of the Wikipedia apply: "Overly narrow and highly specialized categories should be avoided. Arguing that someone is an expert in an extremely narrow area of study is, in and of itself, not necessarily sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1. (The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline...)". Therefore, in agreement with Alfietucker, I shall start the procedures to delete this article.

The result was no consensus. There are both weak and substantive arguments on either side of this discussion. While the arguments to delete are slightly stronger, the claim that the subject meets NAUTHOR has not been convincingly refuted (as the claims to GNG have been). The discussion has been relisted thrice, so I have no option but to close this as "no consensus", with no prejudice against renomination at any point.

Not notable. According to her website she is no longer engaged in the practice of psychology, but is apparently looking for work as a director in the film industry. According to her film CV, she has not yet made any notable or even significant films, She never was notable as a psychologist, the only references for this are her own interviews. I cannot confirm Director of Australian Psychological Society, but that seems to be an administrative position, not president of a society. She has published 2 unimportant academic papers in minor journals, and self-published two books. DGG ( talk ) 17:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The subject's book Breaking the silence : a practical guide for male victims of domestic abuse is held in at least sixty-seven libraries across Australia, see here and here. Self published or not, unworthy books do not get this level of ackowledgement. Passes NAUTHOR. Aoziwe (talk) 11:36, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If we were discussing the notability of the book then being held in dozens of libraries would be no evidence of notability; there are vast numbers of books that are held in hundreds or thousands of libraries which come nowhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, even if we were to accept inclusion in dozens of libraries as evidence of notability of the book, that would not establish notability of its author, as notability is not inherited. And finally no, nothing at all in WP:NAUTHOR could possibly be interpreted as meaning that having written a book which is held in dozens of libraries establishes notability, nor does anything in any of the other notability guidelines.

  • Delete. Personally I would very much like to see this article kept, because I think that Elizabeth Celi has something to say which deserves to be better known. However, after years of telling new editors that neither I like it nor publicising a point of view is justification for existence of an article, I have to set my own opinion aside. Unfortunately, nothing in the article suggests that she passes any of Wikipedia's notability guidelines; nor does anything in the cited sources (two are her own LinkedIn page and her page on the web site of an organisation she is connected to, one merely includes her name in a list, and all the others do no more than give a few quotes from her); nor does anything else I have been able to find (I searched through the first few dozens of Google hits, and almost all were not independent sources, the very few exceptions being unsuitable for other reasons, such as this Wikipedia article).

On one hand I agree with you. If we take the relevant NGs on facevalue as they currently stand then, no, the subject is not notable. By consensus, picking a sport article example such as G. Fernando, it is seen that this person satifies WP:NCRICKET/WP:CRIN because they have appeared in one first class match. They essentially completely failed to perform, and are almost absolutely certain never to appear again in any way in WP and their article will remain a micro stub forever. (There are many many more such examples across cricket, football, etc.) The subject in question here, however, is a multiple times author, is sought out for many interviews and panel discussions, and is likely to have future content in WP if the article remains. I am not running an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument here but I am running an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS BY LONGSTANDING AND REVIEWED CONSENSUS argument, based on STUFF which I believe is far far less notable than the subject in question here. Yes the article does need better references, and I suggest there are sufficient to better support the article (accepting though they are barely within current NGs). Regardless of whether we like it or do not like it, surely the fundemental question is "Does it improve the encyclopedia". I believe it does. Surely if we believe there are such grounds, it is up to us to challenge consensus. We need to remember if consensus was followed in regard to encyclopedias, WP would not exist in the first place, and we would not want our own rules to stifle our own evolution - I suggest that this instance lends itself to WP:IAR? Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 11:52, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
THe problem Aoziwe is that if you nominate a cricket article, all the cricket fans turn up together, as a team and insist "we have decided to set the bar low and keep everything", albeit without references to WP:GNG, and then the closing admin goes with who turned up with more friends rather than who made policy-based arguments. And then people don't want the hassle, and it just gets kept. Tony May (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment' In making my nomination here, I was considerably influenced by the factthat her books are self-published. Self published books or a self published writer are notable only in exceptional circumstances (the most common exceptional circumstance at WP are in science-fiction, where major writers sometimes publish this way, and of course this can also be true of alternative or underground literature. But I think just the opposite is true for self-help or popular psychology is just the opposite--self publishing in this field is an admission of either insignificance or publishing for the sake of publicity. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A search on Ebsco databases shows that she was frequently quoted on the topic of men's mental health in media across Australia from 2008-2016, so I'm not sure that it's true to say "She never was notable as a psychologist". Many of the sources currently in the article quote her on topics related to men's mental health or domestic violence against men - are they what you are referring to when you say "the only references for this are her own interviews", DGG? I would see them as examples of WP:AUTHOR #1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." I do think the article could be improved - having a section called "Public speaker and media commentator" sounds more like promotion of her, than outlining the areas she has worked in and the issues she has highlighted. The articles are not interviews with her - they are articles about the topics noted with quotes from her (and others) as a leader in the field. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:33, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Newspapers are not "peers or successors" A mental health practitioner being available for interviews is a part of promoting their business. I assume you are refering to the sources currently in the article.:
Sydney MorningHerald quotes her as 1 of 4. ABC: one of several people who were quotations .Adeleidenow: t. The Herald cites only her. BrisbaneTimes , one of 3; TheWest, 1 of 4. Some of the othersare actually academic experts who have published in the area, without needing to resort to self-publishing. DGG ( talk ) 16:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to anything in any of the notability guidelines to which either which either serving as a consultant to government or having book held in public libraries is relevant?

This survived an AfD 15 years ago based on the usual old arguments that 'it may be important/there may be sources/etc.'. 15 years ago we have higher standards, this is still a jargon-full, nearly unreadable stub copied from some technical documentation, and it fails WP:GNG badly. WP:BEFORE does not reveal anything outside expected mentions in passing in technical documentations. At best, this can be redirected somewhere (through there's no referenced content to merge).

WP:BLP of a person with neither a strong claim of "inherent" notability under any of Wikipedia's subject-specific inclusion standards, nor enough reliable source coverage to get over WP:GNG. The notability claims here are serving as chairman of a political party's local chapter in a single midsized-city and owning a restaurant in that same city, but neither of those things is an article-clinching notability claim in and of itself -- but the bulk of the sourcing here is not to media coverage about him for the purposes of establishing his notability, but to glancing namechecks of his existence in purely local media coverage of other people or things. And while there are a couple of pieces that are more strongly about him than most of the others, they're still local and they're still not covering him in encyclopedically noteworthy contexts. There are some serious BLP problems here, as well, because untried and unconvicted allegations of unethical behaviour aren't notability-makers for an otherwise non-notable politician. Per WP:PERP, a person who wasn't already notable before being faced with a criminal allegation does not suddenly clear the notability bar on the allegation itself — he would have to be convicted of something before he might have a legitimate claim to be notable on criminal grounds, not merely charged or alleged.
As always, people at the local level of significance are not automatically deemed to pass GNG just because they've gotten their name into their local media a bunch of times -- to be notable enough for inclusion just for being a political party's local committee chair in one midsized city, he would need to be able to show much wider coverage than just the routinely expected handful of hits in that city's own local media.

I cannot find any significant coverage of this organization in reliable sources. There's a long list of citations, but almost all are to the organization's various websites, along with some press releases and broken links to tourism websites for good measures.

The only two cited sources that seem independent (although probably not reliable) are a post on shortfilm.de and another on ismailmartin.com (in Spanish). But these are actually criticizing these supposed film festivals as scams or psuedofestivals!

Non-notable hip hop group that fails WP:GNG and WP:RS. The group has absolutely no notability other than its affiliation with Eminem. Non of the members other then Eminem had successful solo careers. Non of the releases by the group ever charted. Sources about the group are almost non existent. Most of the information that's currently on the article is completely unsourced and unsubstantiated. The few sources that are listed in the article are from crudely sourced user generated websites like Discogs, MusicBrainz and Genius. Sources [6] [7] [8] are only mere mentions. The article was previously nominated for deletion in 29 September 2008, which ended in a redirect to Eminem, but the redirect was reverted. Considering how obscure the group is and how very little information there is on the internet about the group, a redirect to Eminem would be unnecessary.

  • Keep: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Schools says "Most independently accredited degree-awarding institutions and high schools have historically been kept". While the fine print note says "Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist." and "WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, as it is an accurate statement of the results but promotes circular reasoning.", that's just a de jure formality. The reality is that American comprehensive high schools are kept and that nominations like these usually fail for a reason. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:35, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. NACADEMIC#6 says:
The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
I do not believe he meets the standard. I believe the "highest-level" would be the President of Cornell, not just a dean, which is defined by our article for deans in the U.S. (Dean_(education)#Higher_education) to be a department head--which is my understanding as well, a bit like a VP in a corporation. There are numerous deans in every major academic institution, and I doubt all of warrant an article. Are there others that survived an AfD only on the grounds that they were deans where there were not multiple WP:RS to back them up? (or vice-versa?) --David Tornheim (talk) 10:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Added a few refs. As normal, not many sources could be found for an academic as compared to a mainstream player/entertainers and yet their contribution is well-regarded. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 10:57, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks. I would withdrawal nomination, but I'm not sure those qualify as independent WP:RS, so I'll let others assess the overall WP:RS situation. I generally agree that big-named mainstream sports players, comics, movie stars, etc. probably get more coverage in the mainstream media than the workhorses of academia who make long-lasting contributions to knowledge. That said, I'm not convinced this particular individual did much other that hold positions of power, teach, and do some editing. "An outstanding teacher and lecturer, Swieringa won the Justice Foundation Award for Outstanding Teaching at Cornell and has received numerous awards and honors in recognition of his scholarly and professional work" [11] may be the case, but I am not seeing independent sources that talk at length about the accomplishments, innovation, etc. He just seems like an typical person of that rank with nothing that distinguishes him above and beyond the ordinary person of that position. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:53, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • They are reliable sources (RS) but might not be independent sources (IS), you dont find many IS for academic, how often do you see New York Times or Guardian newspaper have an article about the president of University of Penn State, or University of Sydney or National University of Singapore? Hardly, as they are not normal mainstream topics that interest the general public but you would see articles about "What is so funny about Gangnam Style"[12] or "cat rescue story" [13]. When it come to an academic, at times independent source might not applied in AfD. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:28, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • True. Academics--except the most exceptional, or self-promoting (e.g. Neil_deGrasse_Tyson, Carl Sagan, Bill Nye, Watson and Crick) or unique (e.g. Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein) or interesting (e.g. Richard Feynman)) [and strange that nearly all the examples that come to mind are from physics and astrophysics]--are rarely covered in mainstream media, but they are covered in review articles, journal articles, and books about their field, that are independent of the scholar and the institution that pays their salary. There's plenty out there on academics who have made major contributions to thought. When it comes to "What is so funny about Gangnam Style"[14] that's just a trend, and the way I see it, it's more about a fad that makes money for the entertainment industry than about anything of real substance--just a passing trend. When I first came to Wikipedia, I was surprised the mainstream media was taken so seriously as a source compared to the academic sources that have more substance, fact checking, editorial overview, and writers who are experts in the field of their subject. --David Tornheim (talk) 06:53, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Definitely meets notability criteria as per WP:NACADEMIC. Spyder212 (talk) 21:04, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. One possibly could try to make a case for passing WP:PROF on other grounds here, but he definitely does not satisfy WP:PROF#C6. There is an explicit explanation on this very point in WP:PROF#Specific criteria notes regarding Criterion 6: "Lesser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone, although exceptions are possible on a case-by-case basis (e.g., being a Provost of a major university may sometimes qualify)." So being a Dean is definitely not sufficient. Nsk92 (talk) 20:33, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Looking at the case a bit more closely, it seems clear that he does pass WP:PROF on other grounds. E.g. his Dean appointment at Cornel was a named position, as "the Anne and Elmer Lindseth Dean", according to the original announcement[15]; and he is currently listed at Cornell as a "Anne and Elmer Lindseth Dean Emeritus" in his faculty profile there. Arguably, that satisfies WP:PROF#C5. Also, his CV at Cornell[16] list a number of journal editorships, and a significant number of named/distinguished lectures. Looks sufficient to satisfy WP:PROF#C1. The article could use some updating, though. Nsk92 (talk) 21:10, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Elonet is a database and probably lists every movie and actor in Finland, but it also has some information about this movie and it quotes three reviews from three national newspapers/magazines. Unfortunately it's probably impossible to find the reviews online so I don't know how long they are. It seems it was also reviewed in the film magazine Filmihullu, but that's not online either [17]. Elonet also quotes an interview about making of the movie prior to the release, but again it's impossible to find it now. Also according to Elonet, the film was released on DVD in 2009 and 2017. -kyykaarme (talk) 23:17, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as there is evidence given above that the film has been reviewed in four national newspapers and magazines which means it passes WP:NFILM but those sources are not easily found online so it needs Finnish editors to expand the article with offline sources Atlantic306 (talk) 22:38, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, after looking further, as per Kyykaarme, NFILM requires "The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics." The article shows the film sold 1 650 tickets, which would go against "widely distributed." Further, no evidence that these are "full-length" reviews, and NFILM requires both. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Regarding the extensiveness of coverage - the vast majority of newspapers.com articles on searches of "Pat Hall" focusing on the states he worked during his career are about him or his work, such as the 115 results searching Wyoming between 1961 and 1976"pat+hall"&dr_year=1961-1976&offset=22&p_place=WY. Many of these hits are about his reportage, although none of the magazines he worked at in Wyoming are indexed during that period. During the period 1972-1976 he was primarily not working as a journalist, but as a director of bicentennial celebrations in the Midwest/Mountain West. Here are 83 hits from Wyoming during that period, mostly about that work [18]. A large number of those 83 articles are not merely quotes of Hall, but are discussions of his operations and activities.

  • Comment: It initially twiggesd my mind ... PureVPN ... I think I've heard of that before (but I could equally be mixed up with something else). It seems to have large market share and has sustained but the choices for the reception section may not be neutral (and they were sloppy, no access date, not archived, url's swapped, one probably non neutral, not sure if the other (CNET) had actually reviewed from using the product rather than taking info from the website). Other reviews techradar 2018, PCmag 2018 comparitech, The Best VPN (2019) (possibly not RS and possibly negative POV) perhaps paint a more balanced picture. So it seems there are about 78 VPN products and we not would expect a wikipedia article for each. That said PureVPN has WP:SUSTAINED, has about 2000 VPN servers (About 3rd or 4th here), and is headquartered in Asia so an article may well be warranted. But it really needs to be beefed with a few more details and WP:NPOV probably needs to be tagged or to be sorted.Djm-leighpark (talk) 12:37, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say there's a number of factors that count ... but in general bigger is better ... however smaller and innovative qualifies also. What I am sure of is a smaller VPN with a low value article is definitely to be let go. To a degree linux distro's are kind of on the similar basis. I'm currently more concerned about WP:NPOV if this gets kept which it may well do. An enhanced article on this would probably be well worth keeping due to sustained history and various impplications.Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Linux distros generally vary in some technical manner, which is at least "encyclopedic", even if not primarily WP:Notable by the necessarily rather arbitrary local rules. We do sometimes lose track of being an encyclopedia (it explains things that are complicated) and become too much of a directory of the "otherwise significant", despite WP:NOTDIR. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a VPN geek, but there do appear to be differences in Capabilities etc. And choice of VPN may be important for peoples in Asia / Russia where censorship and Privacy may be an issue. As PureVPN is based from Hong Kong (People's Republic of China) that may have implications long term. Does this article link into these things .... currently no. Could it ... perhaps ....

  • Delete - Remove from the list of sources all of those that make money from that review and we do not have something that meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Explore the links a little more -- they're affiliate links. That's part of why VPNs and other similar services get so many reviews -- it's not just consumer interest; it's kickbacks. Could they still be neutral reviews? Sure, but how can we tell? If there's an affiliate link in there, I don't think we can consider it independent. Eastmain above specifically referenced MacUpdate and PCMAG. MacUpdate is... far, far, far from acceptable. Far from an "in-depth review from a reliable source," It's basically a copy/pasted list of features from the company itself. PCMag has, bigger than everything else at the top, the logo and three affiliate links. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

      The article contains a list of criticisms about PureVPN in sections titled "Waiting for a connection", "Not so fast", "Netflix works (sort of)", and "privacy concerns".

    2. Eddy, Max (2017-10-11). "Did PureVPN Cross a Line When It Disclosed User Information? When a VPN hands over user data on a creep, there's a freak out". PC Magazine. Archived from the original on 2019-04-22. Retrieved 2019-04-22.

      This article contains commentary about whether PureVPN crossed the line when it gave user data to the FBI. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage notes that "deep coverage" provides "commentary" of the company.

    3. Nadel, Brian (2017-10-10). "PureVPN Review: Looks Good, Acts Bad". Tom's Guide. Purch Group. Retrieved 2019-04-22.

      The article contains a negative review of PureVPN, noting:

      Of the VPN services we've reviewed, PureVPN has the largest choice of connection locations, but it doesn't always deliver the data. Despite having widely distributed servers and excellent software, PureVPN delivered far from top-rank performance, and a recently disclosed criminal case makes us wonder how willing PureVPN is to protect customer privacy. Overall, we prefer Private Internet Access.

    4. Paul, Ian (2017-08-25). "PureVPN review: It works well if you don't mind virtual server locations. PureVPN is a Hong Kong-based VPN that's recently been criticized for using virtual server locations". PC World. Archived from the original on 2019-04-22. Retrieved 2019-04-22.
    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow PureVPN to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 08:29, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some of the articles such as https://www.pcworld.com/article/3219730/purevpn-vpn-review.html contain Google Ads including those from PureVPN to make money from users accessing their content. I do not think these links make the articles unreliable or non-independent because these ads are selected by Google without input from PureVPN.

    I do not consider affiliate links to make a source non-independent. The PCMag article linked by Eastmain (which is different from the one I am linking) notes: "PCMag reviews products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use." The PCMag.com Mission Statement notes: "Editorial reviews and conclusions are crafted without any personal, advertising, marketing or other business considerations."

    The negative coverage about PureVPN's slowness, usage of virtual locations, and user privacy concerns clearly demonstrates that it is being critically reviewed and commented on by publications without consideration to revenue from affiliate links.

    Cunard (talk) 08:29, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment on sources - Literally all of the sources above are to reviews (or, in one case, an "opinions" page linking to a review) based on affiliate links. Of course all of the publications talk about being independent. For the sake of argument, let's even give them the benefit of the doubt and say that, against odds, they take a perfectly neutral approach to the review. That doesn't change the fact that the opportunity to build in affiliate links provides motivation for the very initiation of such a review. In other words, while their independence may lead them to review it honestly, that they're reviewing it at all (the most important thing for notability) is tainted by the great likelihood of ulterior motives. It's why VPNs have such an easy time getting so many reviews. Frankly, Cunard, I don't know why you're using your considerable source-finding talents to save an article about something where the most interesting thing we can say about it is "it's subpar." Reaffirming this as a definite delete. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am supporting retention because PureVPN has received significant coverage in reliable sources, and I do not think affiliate links make the sources non-independent or unusable for notability given that they have provided plenty of negative coverage about the subject. Software review publications like PC Magazine and PC World also have print editions that do not have affiliate links. Software review sites in general have affiliate links because that helps them generate revenue. If they were all excluded, then nearly all reputable review sites would be unusable for establishing notability.

    Why am I supporting retention? I believe there is value to the readers in providing an article that summarizes sources explaining how PureVPN is subpar.

    Cunard (talk) 15:43, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The article is capable of improvement, it may have been subject to sabotage by a COI editor, when I used a Wikipedia Geolocate from ANI on an IP address that was the VPN offering that caame up as an advertisement (which actually to me immediately means I will always avoid it!). Wish I had more time to tackle it. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article reads like an advertisement, and any references go to reviews, not sources that indicate it is a particularly notable VPN. Having used PureVPN in the past, I can't say I found it particularly different than other VPNs, so I don't think this article has much potential to begin referencing something notable unless something changes about PureVPN. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 12:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I will review these sources later, but judging by headlines posted by Cunard, these could support notability quite well. Unlike editors above, I find good reviews as an excellent source for software/hardware related Wikipedia articles. However, these sources should be really used in the article, it looks like a cheap ad otherwise (boasting how this VPN is good, when sources have other POV...). Pavlor (talk) 13:01, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Mashable, Tom's Guide, PC Magazine, PC World are good sources showing notability of this product/service. Sources like The Inquirer are pure garbage (written by the company itself...) and should have no place in the article (at least not without proper attribution). If anybody improves (balances) the article by writing anew the entire reception section, I will gladly "vote" keep. However, I will not touch an article created and refbombed as a vehicle for promotion - too new and fresh for my taste (I may change my mind and TNT it myself, if the article is kept).

I admit I´m a little bit puzzled here. Which of the sources Cunard posted are non-RS reviews and which are run of the mill trade affiliate news? I thought webpages in question have editorial oversight, so may qualify as a RS. Pavlor (talk) 06:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Pavlor:} References 1,2 and 4 are reviews. There are always for the most part done by one person. Occasionally, e.g if it a camera, the body will be reviewed by a one person and specialist outfit with the lens, e.g the dxo mark outfit. This is not like that. So for almost all reviews and that is majority are done by one person, which means they are subjective and are non-RS. The last reference originally appeared in The Register, a British outfit. So it is affiliate news. VPN companies are for the most part generic. You can set one up yourself fairly easily and there is not much difference between them. every one of them is using the same four protocols. A large number of them are good, a large number of them are bad. Many hundreds don't keep logs, many hundreds do. The only differentiator is generally how good their support and using real server locations. So there is not much to differentiate them. We should keep the biggest and the best, but for the most part this one is neither. cTalk 07:53, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@scope_creep from memory of a reference I understand this to be one of the bigger and most sustained ones ... however I would be concerned about best given from appear to be hands on reviews, which is why I've POV'd it. Who would you regard as the bigger ones. There's also appears to be some geographically local popular niche ones, Gom VPN for example. I'd really like this discused at project level I think rather than a drip feed.08:12, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
  • Your point about reviews is a nonsense. For us, most important is, if the page in question has regular staff, how rigorous is its editorial policy and how perceived is by other sources we consider reliable. We certainly should not care, if subject of the article is the biggest and the best or not, only its coverage in reliable sources matters. We must ask: Are the sources mentioned by Cunard reliable? The answer is yes. Is the coverage broad enough to establish notability of the article subject? This is the very point we should discuss, not some artificial "policy" about VPNs. Pavlor (talk) 10:18, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Due to concerns expressed with regards to retention for articles of this class of product I raised a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing#Retention of VPN Products. Thankyou.
  • Delete. Most of the references are to industry-specific publications, so fail WP:AUD. The article itself if just a listing of trivia factoids.

Can find no evidence that this album received significant and reliable coverage, with only the usual retail/streaming and self-promotional sites to be found. There is a bare AllMusic entry but no review. Note that the rapper's following album "The Commitment 2" got a few pro reviews that are likely to come up in a search for this earlier album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:23, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You give four sources. The first two total five sentences. The last is an interview, which is not really an independent source. I included the New York times article on Sascha Braunig in the article on her, because I just created it! But it is about Braunig and not the gallery. (Researching Braunig, who is very notable, was how I found Foxy Productions). So really there is no SIGCOV here to establish notability. Happy to be persuaded otherwise.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not sure how a contemporary art gallery could even establish notability since they're not likely to be the subject of a conventional article, since the only "product" they produce is other people's work and they are not old enough to appear in most history books. If I had an idea of what page to merge to, I would suggest a merge. But since I don't I'm not entirely sure. If we were to treat the gallery like a person, it might pass WP:ARTIST through the combination of all of the work that it's helped publish. But using that rhetoric almost seems like WP:ORGSIG, so unless someone else wants to comment on this I'll be striking my !vote out. Userqio (talk) 03:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This has been discussed numerous times at Afd, and it comes down to the fact that the notability guidelines are not set up for this kind of organization.

I put this up as a PROD which was contested. The original author (and somebody possibly associated with them, who has only edited this page and the original author's sandbox) added additional references. However it still appears to firmly fail WP:GNG and WP:CORP. The independent sources are largely references in passing, covering the "lone worker" industry generally and mentioning this company as one of several vendors.

I don't believe this individual meets WP:GNG since the existing sources don't meet the requirements on significant coverage, and I have not been able to find any other sources. He definitely doesn't meet WP:NPROF despite the praise heaped upon his accomplishments in the article - he is pretty much a run-of-the-mill economist, albeit apparently a talented one.

This man is quite a legend within Malaysians as he is young but manage to ease the property bubble aside to bring a khazanah grant recipient and also the royal education award. Khazanah is Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund and you had to be super genius to secure a research grant from them that is of national interest. Sometimes these type of intellectuals are hidden and it is good to put them out. I can assure you if not all, then most of the real estate industry and practitioners in malaysia know this man.

Sometimes these type of intellectuals are hidden Yes - that's why Wikipedia has special notability guidelines for academics, found here, and Tham Kuen Wei does not appear to meet any of those criteria. Any academic knows that getting a research grant is a big deal :-) however, it does not make a person encyclopedically notable. Unfortunately there is so much promotional hype in the article that it is difficult to see what the real claims to notability are - I can't see that there are any such claims at the moment. --bonadea contributions talk 19:26, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am a Chinese reporter based in Ipoh A few years back when you repeatedly recreated the article about this person's father (to the point where it was protected against recreation), you claimed to be Malaysian. Just saying. --bonadea contributions talk 10:30, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bonadea: erm, he wrote "I am from Malaysia" in that post, which is consistent since the Malaysian Chinese are the largest ethnic group in Ipoh. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 04:32, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But why would they make a reference to their ethnicity, of all things? I read the statement above as "even though I am a foreign citizen who is temporarily stationed in Malaysia I have heard of this person", which is not a valid argument for notability but would at least make sense. Maybe I misinterpreted it. -bonadea contributions talk 06:54, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My limited understanding is that ethnic identity in Malaysia is more delineated than in a lot of Western countries (eg: see Bumiputera (Malaysia), [26], [27] etc). Someone who describes themselves as Chinese could be a recent immigrant or could have ancesters who immigrated within the last few generations or could be someone with centuries of ancestry in the region. In this case, "Chinese reporter" is really a claim of some measure of experience/expertise in the domain of newsworthy Ipoh/MalaysianChinese people (it's not uncommon to see AFD comments where the poster states that they are from a particular location and/or work in a relevant field). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 07:12, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I refer to the guidelines "However, academics, in the sense of the above definition, may also work outside academia (e.g., in industry, financial sector, government, as a clinical physician, as a practicing lawyer, etc.) and their primary job does not need to be academic in nature if they are known for their academic achievements.

Nobody has disputed the fact that he received the award, but unless an award is itself notable according to Wikipedias definition of notability, it doesn't make the recipient notable. Of the four references you list here, the The Star reference above only mentions the person's name (not significant coverage), and the three others are already in the article so that doesn't change anything in the original deletion rationale.

I read through the entire discussion and the merits of the article should not be judged slowly on the award alone, but what policies he had introduced and changed in the malaysia real estate industry.

On one of the links by the property times - "The Malaysian government and Khazanah Nasional, sponsored Tham on a research to pursue indepth analysis into the matter. Tham suggested policies on rising of real property gain taxes to curb speculation, and lowering of the goods and services taxes to ease inflation and increase purchasing power to enhance loan repayments. According to a government spokesperson of the Central Bank, real property gain taxes are in the process of being revised. The goods and services taxes is currently being lobbied to be eradicated."https://thepropertytimes.my/2015/02/07/real-estate-economist-awarded-rare-fast-track-for-phd-by-university-of-malaya/

I also found two more links not included in this article where he suggested hybrid auctions to be implemented in Malaysia courts. Note that these are by The star news as well:-https://www.thestar.com.my/opinion/letters/2016/08/03/hybrid-bidding-is-a-safer-option/

Each user should only post one "keep/delete" comment. I struck the duplicate for you above. The Focus piece is not an "article", it is a letter to the editor/op-ed piece written by the subject, who then posted it on his LinkedIn page for promotion - that's fine, but he and his PR staff can't use Wikipedia like LinkedIn, the websites have different functions. Regardless of where it is published, that kind of text does not count towards notability, as already discussed above. Since no sources have as yet been found to show that he is notable, could you please provide some of the ones you have found? You have declared that you have a conflict of interest (which would have been obvious anyway from your editing behaviour) and so you are presumably in a position to know whether actual secondary sources exist, and where. So far we don't even have a souce to show when he received his PhD degree... --bonadea contributions talk 08:34, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Tham has four claims to notability: the award, his presidency of "the National Union of Real Estate (NURES)", work on the Malaysian real estate bubble, and his philanthropy:
    1. NURES is the National Union of Real Estate Students
    2. The award is evidence of student accomplishment, but is not notable as it was established in 1988, started at 14 awards annually in 1989, and had been awarded 567 times as of 2013 (when 38 were awarded).
    3. His work on the property bubble has a limited source derived from an interview which states "Tham Kuen Wei warns of a potential property bubble in Malaysia, but the government must..." which is no evidence that his warning was correct or that it had any effect, or even that the peak of the property bubble was in 2015/2016.
    4. His philanthropy is sourced to linkedin(!), and routine philanthropy, though generous, is not sufficient to buy notability.
Appears to have a lack of widespread significant coverage in reliable nonlocal sources. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:05, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

CommentBut if you reread the article, "The Malaysian government and Khazanah Nasional, sponsored Tham on a research to pursue indepth analysis into the matter. Tham suggested policies on rising of real property gain taxes to curb speculation, and lowering of the goods and services taxes to ease inflation and increase purchasing power to enhance loan repayments." The government sponsors him for policy making. I think this deserves highlighting. [1] The coverage on his policy researching, discovering of new real estate issues and amount of coverage on welfare contributions fulfills notable guidelines.

No such thing as a "keep for now", I'm afraid - he is either notable or not. As observed above, it is quite possible that he will become notable in the future, in which case somebody who is not connected to him or his staff will probably create an article, but we don't keep articles on the off-chance that the subject will become notable in the future. And getting a government grant for research is a run-of-the-mill thing for an academic. It's a big deal for the individual involved, but it does not confer notability according to Wikipedia's definition. --bonadea contributions talk 15:30, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are sources of notability for several reasons including 1) recipient of a national honors. You can argue that there had been many recipients since 1988. Well, one could also argue that there had been over 800 recipients of the Nobel Prize. I am not saying that the Royal Education Award is as notable as the Nobel, but the award itself deserves some reputation, as far as Malaysia is concern. That's why this topic is a Malaysian based article since the economist is famous in Malaysia. His name was honored in the first page of the University Gazette [4].

There is also extensive coverage on his reputation as a notable economist and real estate expert in Malaysia. Malaysian prominent real estate economist Tham Kuen Wei warns of a potential property bubble in Malaysia, but the government must take correct and prompt procedures to intervene while allow for market forces to coordinate supply and demand.he Malaysian government and Khazanah Nasional, sponsored Tham on a research to pursue indepth analysis into the matter. Tham suggested policies on rising of real property gain taxes to curb speculation, and lowering of the goods and services taxes to ease inflation and increase purchasing power to enhance loan repayments. According to a government spokesperson of the Central Bank, real property gain taxes are in the process of being revised. The goods and services taxes is currently being lobbied to be eradicated."

Another article "Also present in court was the council’s member Tham Kuen Wei who is also a key economist advisor and government sponsored researcher in Malaysia. The auctioneers filed their challenge in October, to revoke the registrar’s decision to implement the system. Tham, who is a licensed auctioneer and foreclosure consultant for over 7 years is also a Khazanah doctorate researcher who helps to look into policies and non-performing property loans in Malaysia. Tham had spoken against online system and advocated for a hybrid system instead as it will be more transparent. He had been on the consultative council of the Malaysian Council of Auctioneers (MPM) since 2018." [5] [6]

I found many coverage on him as a real estate expert including some mandarin related papers [7]Albertleeys (talk) 12:22, 23 April 2019 (UTC)— Albertleeys (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Receiving a prize that is not notable does not confer notability, it is as simple as that. There are hundreds of thousands of awards - literally - at various institutions of higher education around the world that are equally notable, which is to say, not at all as far as Wikipedia is concerned. Brief mentions of his name is not the same thing as significant coverage. Nothing in these sources adds anything to show notability - I have gone through the sources provided. --bonadea contributions talk 15:30, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. It seems like the key argument was posted by Jay eyem and Levivich and is that none of the proffered sources are in-depth coverage of the tournament as a whole, and for WP:GNG to be met the sourcing needs to have some substance. This line of thinking has not been strongly rebutted by the keep camp, and the split-or-unsplit question has been argued more tightly by the delete camp as well.

2019 Windward Islands Tournament

WP:GNG failure. Unreferenced. No clear notability for the tournament, let alone its various iterations. Contested PROD was removed saying that international events are typically notable, but I don't see that in this case, especially for a tournament organized on such a small level. It appears to be a subset of the Caribbean Football Union, which is itself a subset of CONCACAF, and the tournament does not appear to be actual competitive play. I don't see anything about it on CFU's site, and I didn't see any significant coverage when searching for the tournament in Google. Jay eyem (talk) 22:46, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I really don't see how such localized sources can be considered to be significant coverage. Where even is the coverage from the CFU? All I've found so far is this and there is no way that is sufficient for any sort of article. It's essentially a permastub, and the same information is available at Windward Islands Tournament anyway. I don't see how this iteration is notable. And this isn't really an international tournament in the same way that the Caribbean Cup is. Jay eyem (talk) 00:22, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It's an international tournament covered in the media by all of the countries participating, along with an article on the regional football federation's page, how is that not significant? Is it because the articles are short? SportingFlyer T·C 18:50, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I would not consider any of the sources provided to be in-depth coverage of the tournament as a whole. The only thing really approaching that is the CFU's source, and I do not see how that qualifies this for a standalone article. There is no reason this could not be merged into Windward Islands Tournament (which itself needs better sourcing), and basically all of the relevant information is already there. Just because there is a slightly cobbled together collection of local sources doesn't mean something qualifies for WP:GNG, that is just imprudent. Jay eyem (talk) 21:40, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree firmly, there have been dozens of iterations of this tournament so merging really isn't an option and the tournament receives the requisite amount of local coverage. The "has the season been covered as a whole" argument fails for seasons since it's rare to see an article which covers a season (or, in this case, an event) as a whole, and this event was covered from start to finish in international media, unlike say a U.S. college tournament where only the final receives any sort of significant coverage.

  • Comment The way I see this is currently a no-consensus between remove or keep. There appears to be some interesting sources online for the tournament however the article fails to cite any of them, the article was created by TheBigJagielka only in February and being polite would of been to give the guy a message to improve the article with citations before nominating this article to AfD.

  • Keep - full international tournament that passes WP:GNG as per the sources. --Jimbo[online] 13:22, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Editors involved in the AfD should commit themselves to much more than 'small' or 'moderate' amounts of related effort This is a most significant process, since it can result in the deletion of articles. And it's not a question of text size either because stub-size articles are, of course, entirely acceptable in Wikipedia. The main criterion is verifiable proof of notability. A serious effort, then, undertaken to assess the Keep suggestions shows that the subject does not meet the notability criteria for a sports event: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information or a news service. Wikinews offers a place where editors can document current news events, but not every incident that gains media coverage will have or should have a Wikipedia article. A rule of thumb for creating a Wikipedia article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting. National or global reporting is preferred. This tournament gets the attention of a few local media sources (exhaustively offered above by SportingFlyer) without any further coverage. A comnmendable perhaps event but not possessing Wikinotability. -The Gnome (talk) 08:35, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The tournament is an international competition so the quoted section of WP:NOT does not apply as that refers more specifically to local events not to national events and especially not to international events. Also, a number of the sources are national rather than local. Also, please remember that the Windward Islands is a nationality and deserves the relevant respect that entails rather than depicting it as a locality Atlantic306 (talk) 15:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – The most important factor for me is that this is not an AfD to delete Windward Islands Tournament, it's an AfD to delete 2019 Windward Islands Tournament. So it's not like if we delete this article, this tournament won't be covered in the encyclopedia. The only question for me is, do we need a separate stand-alone article for each year of this tournament? The answer is no. There is not GNG for the 2019 edition. All the links posted here (and all I can find online) are articles about a particular team playing in the tournament. Most of those are routine; the ones that are significant in length are SIGCOV of the team, not that year's tournament. Where, for example, is the long article about "Our predictions for the 2019 Windward Islands Tournament"? Or "How this year's teams will stack up against each other". You get that stuff for highly-notable tournaments, like the World Cup. Only those super-major tournaments merit a stand-alone article for each year. Although I think the tournament itself is notable, and the teams that play in it may be notable, the tournament doesn't receive the kind of GNG coverage that would make each separate year notable enough for a standalone article. Per WP:PAGEDECIDE, information about each particular year should be at Windward Islands Tournament and not in a per-year standalone. We don't even need a redirect here. Although redirects are cheap and harmless, if we did one for every year of every competition, we'd have a lot, and we'd have to create more each year. So, delete, and our readers will find the same information at Windward Islands Tournament. Leviv ich 14:49, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Requiring "Predictions for the tournament" as a prerequisite for an individual tournament article is very far away from policy. Look at any United States college tournament article for proof we don't need articles covering the full competition to pass WP:GNG. Furthermore, this tournament has had a number of editions, so including detailed information about this specific tournament, which is covered by reputable footballing encyclopedias such as [33], is best served as a content fork. SportingFlyer T·C 20:26, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Except college soccer tournaments get deleted all the time for this exact reason, the only difference here is that this is on a national level rather than a collegiate level. The coverage is actually arguably less than most D1 college soccer tournament receive. Jay eyem (talk) 21:47, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment as per WP:Paper it makes sense to have seperate articles for each year rather than significantly increasing the size and loading time of the parent page. Also, as the parent article is notable this is a valid split which does not have to be independently notable but it in any case it is independently notable Atlantic306 (talk) 12:53, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It is incorrect that this does not have to have independent notability. Notability is not inherited, and given the fact that there really isn't much more information that would need merging in, there does not appear to be a need for a split. The argument must be for why this specific iteration of the tournament should be kept, and I maintain that this does not pass WP:GNG. I think User:Levivich has put forward a reasonable standard by which notability for this tournament should be measured. Jay eyem (talk) 21:47, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm actually a big fan of WP:NOTPAPER, but we also have a guideline on WP:LENGTH that talks about dividing at 50k-100k. I don't see the benefit in splitting off a 10k article from a 7k article. If anything, I think it's more convenient to the reader to have the information about each year's tournament all on the same page. Leviv ich 22:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I relisted this a week ago because the discussion seemed still ongoing. Apparently that was not the case as there has been no more comments. G4 is not really applicable after an AfD a decade ago. The "delete" !votes have somewhat stronger arguments than the "keep" !votes. The thing that clinches the deal is the promotional nature of the article (see also WP:TNT). I will also salt the article. However, several editors argue that this person may meet NMUSIC. Hence, there is no prejudice to creating a bio in draft space and if it passes muster, any admin can move it to article space. Randykitty (talk) 12:39, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The text is a lengthy enumeration of trivialities about an artist who, as it happens, did not make it (a comeback may be in the works, though, by the looks of it) yet has concocted her own page in Wikipedia. The only claim to fame is an appearance on a Dance Hits list. Beyond that there is nothing. Brief fame, then possibly, Wikinotability not by a mile. Subject utterly fails WP:NMUSICIAN and I'd challenge anyone who believes otherwise to come forward and present evidence to the contrary, citing the specific criteria met.

Greetings, MyanmarBBQ. This is supposed to be a biography article. The argument about having a record or two charted is not enough for the inclusion of a biography in Wikipedia. When no other information can be presented (under Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on verifiability) there is simply not enough for a biography. Tellingly, the contested article is made up of a self-made photo, lots of self-penned personal info, an inappropriate amount of unsourced detail, and a link to a Bristol newspaper with the big news of a local signing a contract with an American record company, part of the thousands of signings made by record companies. (The overwhelming majority of them come to nothing.) Oh and an advertorial in the "populist" RapUp, along with a link to WeArePopSlags, which is an unacceptable source. More chance stands the song than the person. -The Gnome (talk) 15:12, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - this looks to me like a poorly conceived spin-off of List of monarchs in Britain by length of reign (in fact, based on the comment at this articles creation, that is exactly what this is). For a list, I don't see what connects these articles in sources. That is, is there a reliable source which organizes British monarchs by their oddities relative to each other? If so, I'd be happy to change my !vote. But as it is, listing in this way seems to fail NOR (and strikes me as unencyclopedic, if lots of fun). Smmurphy(Talk) 16:58, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as list cruft. The longevity record is of encyclopedic importance but that is covered elsewhere. Now, as for the comments of @Agricolae above: Original research in Wikipedia terms means undocumented scientific "discoveries" and novel interpretations of history not covered in published sources. Every single article at Wikipedia and every single list includes facts constructed in a unique way. Editorial decisions are made about what to include or exclude and material is presented in an original manner, otherwise it would be plagiarism. So the "original research is prohibited" handwringing is entirely misplaced here, in my estimation. There is plenty of room for deletion on the grounds that this is an aggregation of undocumented trivia. Carrite (talk) 20:31, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • The compiler here has not just compiled facts in a novel way, they have reached novel conclusions. "Sophia of Hanover was heir presumptive"and "Sophia of Hanover died aged 83 years 237 days" are both recorded facts found in sources. "Sophia of Hanover was the oldest ever heir presumptive who died while in waiting" is likely not (at least no reference is given). It would be an 'interpretation not covered in published sources', as you say. To quote WP:SYNTH (part of WP:NOR), "'A and B, therefore C' is acceptable only if a reliable source has published the same argument in relation to the topic of the article." Agricolae (talk) 23:35, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Again... the independent value of an article is measured exclusively by what it contains that can not be found anywhere else. If you want to compile bibliographies don't bother stitching together a text. If somebody else has already said it there is no point in repeating it without adding anything. LE (talk) 03:21, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- The prevalence of usage of this kind of record in the media shows that the interest is there for a start. (A 30-second search for the first three facts gives [36][37][38], for example.) Also the label of 'trivia' is a pernicious one as even the most scholarly work will contain facts that are not consequential within the text, but nonetheless notable for some reason. Without them subsequent refinement of such scholarship becomes more difficult. But then if the issue is that more references are needed then that's a different matter; one for article improvement, not deletion. Smb1001 (talk) 13:46, 16 April 2019 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Smb1001 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]
    • What your 30-second search confirmed is in List of monarchs in Britain by length of reign. Now, can we honestly say that there is interest in media or scholarship in the greatest age difference between a predecessor and a successor, or in a consort's age at marriage, or who the eldest female was at accession, etc?
      The issue is not that more references are needed but that references are unobtainable for the vast majority of stuff listed there. Who says which monarchs hold the record for having the lowest number of children? Who says that Victoria was the shortest monarch and how is that even possible when some died as children and some have never been measured? Who says that Edward I was the oldest monarch to become a parent and Harold Harefoot the youngest? Who outside Wikipedia has ever talked about the "longest single tenure for a male heir-presumptive"?

The fact that other stuff exists is not a reason to keep an article. WP:NBOX clearly states the criteria for notability. A quick look at the UK boxers in that "TV show" - some of them are commonwealth or olympic medal winners or have won a national title. Martin has only won regional titles. That is insufficient for notability. One other boxer in that group also fails NBOX and I have raised an AfD. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 18:16, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They’ve both been on Wikipedia for over 10 years now and have never been flagged up before. User talk:Qualitee123 19:34 12 April 2019 (UTC)
@Michig: Thanks for your vote. I may look at NBOX too strictly and appreciate clarification. (2) stipulates that notability is achieved by a non-world title won. The title assessment link specifies this as including Commonwealth and British titles. This is different to (1) which gives notability to individuals who have fought for a world tile, irrespective of win or loss. As Concepcion has not fought for any world titles (1) and not won any non-world titles (2), I wonder if the notability guidelines may need to be clarified. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 06:42, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NBOX sets a ridiculously high bar, probably higher than any other major sport. The boxing project came up with more sensible criteria, but when NBOX was updated with the consensus for that (which included boxers who had fought for national titles in major boxing countries) it was reverted because it was deemed to have been discussed in the wrong place. Boxing is one of the biggest sports in the UK, and someone who has fought for a national title here is significant enough for inclusion, and will have enough coverage around to satisfy the GNG wonks too, even if it may be hard to find online as we have two major boxing magazines that provide coverage of boxers well below the level of national title challengers. Even online, there's enough to satisfy GNG: [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44]. --Michig (talk) 07:01, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Neverthelss, NBOX stands according to current consensus. I'm agnostic to how NBOX came about or what other discussions there may have been. I see three articles that may be relevant, Eurosport, Sky, BBC. I take regional and tabloid coverage as carrying less weight for any N discussions. It's debatable if that's significant coverage'. BTW, Boxing in general may be well covered - which makes one wonder why there is not more about this individual - however I am not sure I subscribe to boxing being one of the most popular UK sports. It appears to be outside the top 10 for live viewing attendance (below Golf) according to this and below The Masters and Bake Off when it comes to "competitive" one-off TV events according to this. I know WP:OSE is a slippery slope, but I do not see an article for every Bake Off runner up, which sort of feels right. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:49, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NBOX seems quite clear--the non-world titles in the list need to be won, not just fought for. World titles are different, but do not apply in this case. Subject does fail WP:NBOX. Listing boxrec.com 34 times as a reference does not show notability. The sources given by Michig are either results or of the "he is fighting so-and-so on Saturday" variety. These types of sources can be found for every pro boxer. The regional titles he won are minor and generated only local coverage. For example, his last regional title was the "BBBofC Midlands Area Super Middleweight" title where he defeated someone who had 5 victories in 62 pro fights. Hardly encyclopedic.

It doesn't matter how long ago the article was created nor whether or not other boxers from The Contender Challenge are notable.

Article about amateur footballer who made a 3 minute substitute's appearance in the fully-pro Ligue 2 6 years ago. There is plenty of precedent (see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phakamani Mngadi) for treating a footballer who has played such a minimal amount in a fully-pro league as not satisfying WP:FOOTBALL when the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this one does.

NFooty says "fully professional league" not "league listed on FPL", so I agree that FPL isn't the end of the discussion.

But there is no evidence that any are far-right political parties. For example, all the entries in "Australia - current" were wrong. The political parties (e.g. One Nation) were not described by reliable sources as "far right"; the far-right organisations were not political parties. So how can any of the content remain? StAnselm (talk) 03:12, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:TNT unless someone wants to clean it up quickly. It is very worrying that there are parties on this list who are not described as far-right in their own articles, let alone have a source verifying that. If there was a clean version to revert to I would support that, but as it is, it is easier to wipe it out and let someone build up a properly referenced list. SpinningSpark 18:21, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I see nothing but fixable issues here. If an article is properly categorized by Category:Far-right political parties or a subcategory thereof (and every article I clicked on in a random sample was so categorized), then it is properly listed here as it's the exact same statement of fact. Given that the nominator themselves implies that the category is fine, and there is not even a suggestion that "far right" is not a meaningful classification such that we should have neither category nor list, deleting this would be an act of laziness ("it's too hard to clean up or maintain") rather than policy-supported. postdlf (talk) 15:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • List pages are articles and are therefore not immune from requiring reliable sources. Inclusion in a Wikipedia category most certainly does not amount to verification. At the very least, the linked article should contain a verifying citation. It is easily demonstrable that some articles in the category do not even have a claim of being far right in them. Sure, its fixable, but it's not easy. Are you volunteering to do it? It's easier to start again with a list that we can verify. That's why TNT applies in this case. SpinningSpark 18:11, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have mixed feelings about this. One one hand, deletion is not appropriate as an alternative to just doing the work of copying citations for already-verified claims from other Wikipedia articles. Yes, the ideal is to have a citation for every list item, but those citations are readily available. When you go to challenge material, it's just lazy not to just click to the link first. If the article doesn't verify it, then by all means remove it from the list. If it does, copy over the citation. That said, "far-right" is tricky, and encompasses a lot. Are we looking for any party that a single reliable source has called "far-right"? If they're associated with Nazis or fascists, are they automatically considered far-right? Does that need to be a defining characteristic? IMO this is not about which sources have/haven't been copied into this article, but whether a clear inclusion criteria can be articulated such that this is an appropriate topic for a list regardless of whether every entry has a source. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:45, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • At the risk of starting to badger, I remind you that this list is 100% unsourced. It is already known that some of the items are inappropriate/dubious. To clean it up requires it to be 100% checked. This is much the same as TNT and start over. SpinningSpark 19:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • If you want to challenge specific entries, you can do so. It would be lazy to do so without checking the article first, since the presumption should be that it's verified in the article, but if it's not there, remove it. Lots of lists are unsourced because they're predicated on the existence of Wikipedia articles with sources. That's not ideal, and is something to be fixed, so anyone is welcome to WP:SOFIXIT. The list should only be deleted if the subject itself is not appropriate, not because nobody has yet copied over the sources. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:35, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as unworkable. For those pointing to Category:Far-right political parties, compare Category:Far-right politics by country, which then is divided into categories for each country and has many more parties in these categories than Category:Far-right political parties. It is these categories, I think, that were used to inform the creation of this article. Yet the state of the article is horrid. The lack of sourcing for these hundreds of items is not something that should be ignored, and indeed some of the parties I clicked on are not reliably described as far-right within their own articles, so it is dubious if sources could be found for all of the parties in the list. So therefore, we have several dilemmas:
  1. Category:Far-right political parties seems to be woefully underdeveloped compared to Category:Far-right politics by country and its subcategories.
  2. There exists a Category:Far-right political parties by country‎, but it is also underdeveloped. For example, Category:Far-right politics in Mexico‎ contains several political parties, but Category:Far-right political parties in Mexico does not exist.
  3. The list at the center of this AFD is completely unsourced.
  4. The inclusion of articles in the aforementioned categories may also be unsourced.
So delete the subject of this AFD per nom, but something may have to be done about these categories. Pinguinn 🐧 06:20, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Off-Topic Comment - This deletion sorting has become truly preposterous. The actress is Canadian. Just because she lived in multiple countries does not mean that the deletion discussion has to be promoted to WP volunteers who handle articles about all those places. Also she has pretty much one occupation as a TV actress. The once-convenient deletion sorting service has gone mad! ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:03, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Actresses are not automatically handed a free pass over WP:NACTOR just because they've had roles — every actor has always had roles, because having roles is the job description. The notability test for actors and actresses is not in the mere listing of roles, but in the quality and depth and range and volume of reliable source coverage in media that they received for having roles. That's not what these references are, however: of the six footnotes present here, four are unreliable sources that do not count as support for notability at all, and the two that are technically reliable sources both just namecheck her existence a single time in articles that are not about her. That is not how you get an actress over the Wikipedia inclusion bar, if the notability claim you're shooting for is "actress who has acted" rather than "actress who has won a notable acting award". Bearcat (talk) 16:29, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (as WP:ATD) to Make It Pop since that is her only major role. WP:TOOSOON also applies since she is a minor. FoxyGrampa75 (talk) 22:43, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep meets WP:NACTOR #1, with major cast roles in notable Canadian musical television series Make It Pop (as in, there are Wikipedia articles about them). change my vote to Delete as agree per Bearcat and Tyw7. MyanmarBBQ (talk) 07:52, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MyanmarBBQ, well they need to be in multiple notable films, not just one.
    "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:18, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    not just one! Had a supporting role in the film Kim Possible. Let you know. MyanmarBBQ (talk) 12:48, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    MyanmarBBQ, that role is just a supporting role. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:57, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Firstly, supporting roles are not automatically the same thing as notability-making roles. Secondly, even if she'd had a starring role in Kim Possible, the notability test would still hinge not on just saying the words "Kim Possible", but on the depth and breadth and volume of reliable source coverage about her that she could be shown to have received for it. As I said above, the notability test for actors is not just the fact that roles are listed in the article — the notability test is the degree to which the roles did or didn't translate into real media (i.e. not blogs or gossip tabloids) doing journalism about her and her performances. Bearcat (talk) 15:49, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - So far, Make It Pop is her only role that has gotten some minor notice. She might fully qualify for a Wikipedia article if her role in Kim Possible earns significant media notice that is about her in particular. For now, it is too soon for an article but that may change in the not-too-distant future. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:07, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Satisfies NACTOR with her roles in Make it Pop and Kim Possible. That is not a "free pass". Bearcats additions to NACTOR are simply not part of that guideline. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:02, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Duffbeerforme, her role in Kim Possible is not a significant one. She only plays a minor character with not much screen times. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:32, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes Tyw7, reading some more it does look like that role is not significant. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:30, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I haven't "added" anything to NACTOR at all. It is standard consensus that NACTOR is not automatically passed by every actor who can simply list roles — that would hand an automatic free pass over NACTOR to every single actor who exists, because every actor can always list roles. So if that were how it worked, then there could be no actual notability standard for actors at all anymore, because it would be impossible for any actor to ever actually fail NACTOR anymore if all they had to do was list roles. So the notability test is not just the ability to list roles, it is the ability to show that the actor received reliable source coverage about his or her having of roles. Not because I made shit up, but because consensus has established that as how NACTOR works. There is never any such thing on Wikipedia as a notability claim that guarantees a person a Wikipedia article just because it's been asserted — no matter what notability claim is being made, real reliable source coverage is always the measure of whether the notability criterion is actually passed or failed. Bearcat (talk) 19:48, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    And now you are dropping part of NACTOR to create a strawman. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:33, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Nope. I'm exactly correctly summarizing how NACTOR does work and always has worked, and am neither "dropping" any part of it nor strawmanning anything. Bearcat (talk) 16:41, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    You wrote "NACTOR is not automatically passed by every actor who can simply list roles — that would hand an automatic free pass over NACTOR to every single actor who exists, because every actor can always list roles. So if that were how it worked, then there could be no actual notability standard for actors at all anymore, because it would be impossible for any actor to ever actually fail NACTOR anymore if all they had to do was list roles." Pure strawman. Let's look at what NACTOR actually says. "1.Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." (emphasis added). You've dropped the significant and the notable to create an claim no one is making just to argue against. Restore those two words and your house of cards comes tumbling down. They have to do more than just "list roles". Your claim of "exactly correctly" is a blatant lie. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:00, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    There's no conflict between what I said and what you said: what you're missing is the fact that reliable sources have to independently establish the significance of the person's role by focusing on it and/or her. Every role in every film, every role in every television series, and on and so forth, would always get every actor over NACTOR #1 if all you had to do was invoke the words "significant role" — because if all you had to do to get an actor over the notability bar was say those words, then every actor could and would just say those words about every role. We regularly, in fact, see actors try to get into Wikipedia for publicity purposes by overselling the "significance" of their roles in things, which is precisely why just saying the words "significant role" is not a free exemption from actually having to source the article properly. So reliable sources have to establish the role's significance, by singling the role and her performance in it out for dedicated attention, before the role is "significant" enough to count toward NACTOR #1. That's why I'm not wrong. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Bearcat, Duffbeerforme, do you want to take the argument off this AFD? Perhaps to Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 16:59, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete we need realistic application of terms like "notable production" and "significant role". These terms mean indepth coverage of the role as such, not passing mention. Unfortunantely this standard has not been well applied, which is one reason Wikipedia is bloated with actor articles that are often little more than a filmography.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:50, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Holocene (Portland, Oregon)

[edit]
Holocene (Portland, Oregon) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am looking through items in categories and spotted this. You will get a lot of "hits" on Google, because it's a music venue and the local alternative bi-weekly the Portland Mercury has a significant amount of their publication dedicated to event listings. It's lacking WP:SIGCOV (significant coverage with depth) in WP:AUD (regionally or greater circulated) independent reliable source that is expected for WP:ORG (business and companies notability)expectations, I really doubt it. Graywalls (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article creator has responded to AfD asserting significant coverage. Lots of citations added, lots of contents added. A good amount of them are of vanilla event, vanilla event 2, .... (reference: event calendar) entries. Here's a partial copy of what one of those citations look like. WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:N considers citations of this nature have little meaning in notability. Event listings of this nature is equivalent to listing out some random flights on an airport article and whether those things should even be included just because they're verifiable is questionable. Furthermore, dropping names of people who held events there does not further notability for Wikipedia purposes. This is because WP:INHERITORG states that "An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it." This place is of only local interest.

(partially pasted. This appears within a long list that appears in the reference)

Tin House AWP Party

Portland publisher Tin House throws a party in conjunction with the AWP conference, with acclaimed authors Hanif Abrurraqib, Erica Dawson, Morgan Parker, and Tommy Pico reading from their latest collection, and DJ Mami Miami heading up a after-reading dance party. (9 pm, Holocene, $5)

As you can see, it's a part of an event calendar. Many Portland Mercury references are of this nature. Willamette Week is as well to some amount. (those two are our local "alternative weekly" papers)

Because my previous nomination on run of the mill establishments have been met with comments like "there are two dozen sources", I am addressing regarding the large number of citations on this article. At the time of writing this argument the article boasts 41 cites (some cites with more than one sources)

24 portlandmercury.com; of those fifteen of are specifically titled "things to do" which are routine lists of events. 13 wweek.com (Willamette Week) The alternative weeklies together represent 37 of references. Two Portland travel guides listings. Many of them are "the list of bests", and events list.

Policy based consideration for sources of this nature:

  • Foot notes #3 and #7 in WP:N addressing Routine announcements, or series of coverage in same periodicals and journalists.

WP:ORGDEPTH examples of what we consider trivial coverage: coverage of purely local events, incidents, controversies

inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists

Graywalls (talk) 08:41, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I request the quality of AfD argument and participants' comment and relevance to applicable guidelines given weight over tallying up "votes". This is per WP:CONSENSUS and WP:DEFINECONSENSUS. Thank you. Graywalls (talk) 15:55, 16 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article has fluffed up even more with more lists of events that amounts to things like this Billboard.com article that amounts to nothing more than a line item that shows Holocene was a stop in Ionnalee's tour. Basically the article's creator is continuing to stack it up with these entries. Itemized lists of events held at an event center does not add notability.

  • Delete I’m afraid I just don’t get the special thing there seems to be on Wikipedia about venues in Portland. There always seems to be a few editors convinced that a night club or restaurant in that city is notable because it’s really well known on the Portland scene and has hundreds of local refs to back it up. This sounds like a great place but there are dozens of similar places in every city in the world and they’re mostly not notable, even if warmly endorsed by their local press.

I always conduct a preliminary research before an AfD, but its not perfect. I'm aware there are mentions of this business in the Oregonian, such as "youth organization (Altamura, who books bands to play at the Southeast club Holocene, is also managing director of Music in the Schools)." as a brief mention within an article about something else. 2016 a brief mention "At Holocene on Saturday night, you can dance to 50 years of summer jams. We look forward to hearing something from the Grease soundtrack." among a list of other items. 2012. There are quite a few mentions in a passage like this but I didn't find anything with Significant coverage in the Oregonian or other papers with readership reach outside of the greater Portland area. The alternative papers Willamette Week and Portland Mercury will likely have things about local businesses in a greater depth as they're papers with great local emphasis.

Semi-advertorialized article about a local event, not reliably sourced as the subject of enough media coverage to clear our notability standards for events. This is actually a separate thing from the Ottawa Ice Dragon Boat Festival that I listed for AFD yesterday (this one's summer, that one's winter), but it isn't any better referenced as noteworthy -- the references are its own self-published website, a YouTube video clip of the organizers speaking, and a corporate blog, none of which are reliable or notability-supporting sources that would get it over WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG. As always, the notability test for a thing like this is not that its existence is technically metaverified by its own self-published web presence -- it hinges on receiving media coverage in sources independent of its own self-published web presence.

The ticket to getting a poorly sourced article kept is not just to theorize that maybe better sources might exist somewhere — anybody could always say that about absolutely anything, even total hoaxes, if all they had to do was say it.

I don't think the subject meets WP:GNG, and as the mayor of a municipality does not meet WP:NPOLITICIAN. Both of the sources provided in the article had broken links for me–searching online, I was able to find some coverage in local sources of dubious reliability, which also don't appear to say anything other than routine coverage of political announcements. signed, Rosguill talk 00:06, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
