Subject fails WP:GNG and every other measure of WP:BIO. The sources are all either not fully independent or only provide passing mentions. Rawson is an educator, public speaker, and media personality, but not at a level that makes him notable. Same rationale as the previous AFD that concluded with Delete. This re-created article was declined when nominated for CSD G4.
Note that the re-creator of this article is a paid editor and has been indefinitely blocked for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines. S/he also has a CU-confirmed sock account: User:Hellydolly4893 that has been blocked as well. Toddst1 (talk) 23:34, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. For sure, there's a certain amount of sock/coi/spa games going on here, but what makes this hard to close is that for the most part, the arguments on both sides steer clear of good policy-based arguments. Icewhiz provided a number of plausible-looking sources, but I don't see anybody evaluating them in detail.
StonyBrook, while ostensibly arguing to keep, says, mainstream coverage is noticeably lacking, which sure sounds like an argument for deletion.
Xxanthippe argues, Of only local cultural interest, but it's unclear how much weight to give that. WP:AUD is part of WP:NCORP, but it's not a part of WP:NBIO.
Ultimately, I don't see any clear consensus on either side. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:25, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Was recreated after a May 2018 AfD resulted in redirect. The redirect was put back in place, as per the consensus of that discussion. The redirect was removed, with the rationale that the AfD was "Old discussion. see the dates." However, in the little over a year since the last discussion, nothing has changed.

- Keep This small biographical article has 10 sources, many of them independent. In this connection I want to stress that the fact that some of the sources are Chabad affiliated, and Jacobson is a Chabad rabbi, does not mean that the sources are not independent. Just like a catholic publication does not loose its independence just because the subject of an article is a priest, as long as that priest is not directly related to the publication. Debresser (talk) 13:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete I strongly question the subject's notability. The only book of his listed on the world's largest bookstore is "A Tale of Two Souls," and that was published in 2000 with zero reviews in almost 20 years. The author of this article Special:Contributions/Starthought created it with his or her very first edit and has only ever edited this page specifically, so there is a strong potential WP:COI, but I'm not going to make that call. PhobosIkaros ✉ 15:16, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Even if that editor has a connection to the rabbi, and I won't rule that out at all, that does not in any way detract from the notability of this rabbi (obviously doesn't add to it either). Debresser (talk) 18:05, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- The "A Talk of Two Souls" om Amazon that I think you are referring to is put up by a book store as a buy used item for a exceptionally high price of $199. Which explains why it is not being purchased from there, since it is actually available for free and has been distributed first by tape, then by CD/DVD [10] and now online. See here: [11].
- It has also been distributed as class sources for teachers to teach the content See: [12],[13],[14].
- Regarding your point of COI, it is a fair point to bring up. I do not have a direct COI, however I am a avid listener of his online content and decided to undertake creating the WikiPage about him. I am unsure how to prove this, but I am open to suggestions. Having said that, in the current version of the page, I kept it very basic to ensure there are only facts that have sources. I invite others to edit the page with new sources they found (as allowed by the rules of Nominated for deletion pages), to remove any possible bias of this page having a single author. Starthought (talk) 3:52, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Der Rabbi und redaktor ist noutabal. For starters, one needs to recognize that our subject has a few different name forms, and that much of his coverage is in Yiddish whose online availability it spotty. BEFOREing for our subject, I found - this in Hebrew, and then figured out that in English he mostly goes by YY Jacobson - which led to [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. More Hebrew (across denominations I will note - this is not Chabad press) - [20], [21], [22][23] - breadth of geographical coverage that has convinced me he's probably notable as a speaker (including against sexual abuse) and publisher. Icewhiz (talk) 15:41, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The claim of notability is backed by reliable and verifiable sources already in the article and (as noted above) by additional references available to be added. Alansohn (talk) 15:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The English language coverage is spotty and does not demonstrate notability in itself (although the extreme praise with which the subject is regarded in local Jewish presses suggests that other coverage may exist). However, the Hebrew language coverage is more significant, plus Icewhiz's comments re the likelihood of Yiddish-language coverage. Although uh Icewhiz, was that supposed to be Yiddish in your keep statement there? You may need some practice. signed, Rosguill talk 17:54, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep WP:BASIC notability has been established. As noted above, there is an undercurrent of various Jewish media to draw upon, although mainstream coverage is noticeably lacking. Significantly, much of the Jewish coverage isn't Chabad, which indicates that the subject has crossed over into the mainstream through his inspirational speaking, which is mostly what he is known for. Agree with Debresser that possible COI editing should not prejudice the subject itself being notable. StonyBrook (talk) 20:33, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Note I added a mention regarding Jacobson's lectures about Haredi sexual abuse, with a Hebrew source provided by Icewhiz; a subject which most WP:MILL rabbis will never air in public. StonyBrook (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Just publishing stuff does not confer notability. It is having the stuff noted by independent others that does. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2019 (UTC).
- That source isn't primary, it's some kind of Haredi media outlet that both reported on the lecture and fully translated/transcribed it. StonyBrook (talk) 01:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- To respond to your concern about having stuff noted by independent others, I spent some time Googling and was able to find a lot of references to him, including many independent statements, I didn't include most, since I felt it would be counter productive, rather I included several types of links as samples to show that there is a broad set of independently sourced references. Examples include events where 200k people tuned in live [24], A site with notable thought leaders in New York, which includes him in a group of other Rabbi's that are on Wikipedia as Notable personages [25][26], Author with articles on IsraelNationalNews a major Israeli news outlet [27], There are lots of examples of events that are hosted all over the world that have him as the main speaker, some examples: [28],[29], [30][31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], He is also listed as an Author on the Algemeiner, which is a notable Yiddish news outlet [38], he has had articles posted on the OK website, which is a known kosher certification agency [39], His Articles have also been printed in multiple print magazines, I was able to find some that had an online version as well [40], Jewish Press Page 12 [41], Cleveland Jewish News [42], Baltimore Jewish Life [43], South African Jewish Report [44], 5Towns Publication [45]. He has been invited to speak on the Israeli TV Station Hidabruth [46]. He has been invited to speak at multiple radio shows including [47], Radio Public [48], Nachum Segal Network [49]. He is listen on the JewishPress as part of the Who's who in the Jewish world along Ariel Sharon, Rabbi Manis Friedman, Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski [50]. He is a featured speaker of JCW [51].

- Just publishing stuff does not confer notability. It is having the stuff noted by independent others that does. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:36, 7 August 2019 (UTC).
- Delete. No improvement since last AfD. Inadequate sources, not in-depth. Of only local cultural interest. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:39, 6 August 2019 (UTC).
- Delete. Refs are inconclusive (many blogs, YouTubes, etc.), there is no conclusive claim of notibility, nor is this person notable per se. I understand that the SPA that resurrected this article after its deletion/merge about a year ago says that there are lots more sources, but a quick perusal of some (though not all) listed above again shows lots of web pages, newsletters, "stump the Rabbi" on blogtalkradio.com, etc. These go much more to existence than notability. Parenthetically, I will say that this case seems to be following a standard tactic characteristic of rabbinical BLPs (e.g. Tzvi Berkowitz, Avraham Friedman) that have insufficient referential support for notability: their AfDs are flooded with "keeps" that patronizingly explain why conventional rules don't apply to rabbinical bios, resulting in an overwhelming consensus to keep the article. That will likely be the result here. Agricola44 (talk) 15:37, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- If you ever nominate Avraham Friedman fro deletion, let me know, and I will lend you my delete vote. But surely you can't compare these two rabbis, both in the reach of their notability as well as in the number of sources in the article (and even more available as mentioned above by several editors).
- I recommend you strike you parenthetical comment, which looks a bit like well poisoning to me. Debresser (talk) 21:06, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Do you really not see the pattern? A good example is StonyBrook's comment above, which says: "mainstream coverage is noticeably lacking", but then claims in the very next sentence that the "the subject has crossed over into the mainstream". How are we to interpret such a contradiction, which essentially boils-down to he's a mainstream figure, there just isn't any mainstream coverage? StonyBrook, who has edited many rabbinical bios, explains to us that it is because "much of the Jewish coverage isn't Chabad"...of course! This is part of a familiar pattern of special pleading on this class of articles. Any denomination could invoke this same type of pleading for their clergy because all denominations have their own literature, Catholics, 7th Day Adventists, LDS, and on down the line. But, we would not usually accept a notability argument for bios having most of their coverage concentrated in these outside-of-mainstream sources. Regarding your "surely you can't compare these two rabbis" comment, I would maintain that Jacobson is not notable per se. The closest claim to notability in the lede is that he is "the dean and Rosh Yeshiva of TheYeshiva.net". But this seems to be a website!! As far as Avraham Friedman, please don't wait for me. Go ahead and take it to AfD. That one is a closed chapter for me. In my estimate, you probably have enough consensus for "keep" anyway, so most of what I've said is likely irrelevant.
Signing off, Agricola44 (talk) 15:29, 8 August 2019 (UTC)- My fault for not making myself clear. I meant to say no significant mainstream news coverage exists, although there is much mainstream (meaning non-Chabad) Jewish coverage, and that to me it is telling; he is a Chabad rabbi and speaker who appeals to general Orthodox audiences, which is unusual. I am for any denomination pleading for their clergy, because only they would know the relative weight their clergy carry within their own communities. They should be allowed to police themselves in this regard. I think it is interesting for an outsider to learn who are the main players in X faith system, such as towering rabbinical figure Joseph B. Soloveitchik in Judaism, who definitely belongs in an encyclopedia even though he doesn't seem to have been discussed much in The New York Times. StonyBrook (talk) 16:31, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment. Pardon, but this response very much illustrates what I'm talking about: an "insider" explaining esoteric reasons why WP conventions (like requiring mainstream sources) do not apply, essentially claiming special expertise to vouch for a notability status that "outsiders" are incapable of understanding. Ironically, this kind of provincialism is not seen in far more complex cases where generalist editors judge notability simply by the available claims and sources.

- You mention newsletters and blogs, but there are a significant amount of news outlets listen and other bodies that cannot be classified as blogs and news papers in the previous example. Including Israel National News, which is a major Israeli news agency [[54]], Jewish News of northern California [[55]], The Algemeiner which is a known Yiddish newspaper [[56]], The OK, which is a major kosher certification agency [[57]], The Jerusalem Post, which is another major Israeli News Agency [[58]]. These are many more sources that could be referenced, some already included earlier.
- Based on WP:SIGCOV, there seems to be "Significant coverage", in that there are many sources that have significantly more than a trivial mention.
- For the listed news agencies, I included some wikipedia links as references, there are many reliable sources, as per WP:SIGCOV Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
- There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English.
- Besides the Algemeiner, where the subject was the editor-in-chief, the subject does not have an affiliation with those news agencies or most other sources quoted, thus qualifying under the "Independent of the subject" rule.
- Reference is made to rabbinical BLPs and a flood of "keeps" that patronizingly explain why conventional rules don't apply to rabbinical bios".
- I do not see that to be the case here. The subject is assumed to be notable based on WP:SIGCOV and WP:BASIC.
- It can also be argued that the subject qualifies under the academics classification, which states that "Notability depends on the impact the work has had on the field of study". Many of the included references show that the subjects content is frequently used by others in the smae field as reference and source material. It also states that Starthought (talk) 12:35, 8 August 2019 (UTC).

- Keep just barely. I've added a link to a lengthy Spin review, a shorter one in The Independent (really a review of the album but a specific paragraph about "Jaded") and a short Rolling Stone article about the remix. The song did well on the charts, especially in Sweden for some reason, that's also a plus. As far as the Jorja Smith stuff, I don't think it's appropriate to speculate but I think it's ok to cite the Capital XTRA article which reports on the speculation within the Drake fandom.

- This seems to be an inside-out article, a different topic being hammered unnecessarily into the shape of a biography. Not everything in Wikipedia should be presented in the form of biographical articles. Almost all of the article seems to actually be about gas-piston operation of firearms (see for example ISBN 9781466588813 pages 21–23), which would be a sub-article of Gas-operated reloading#Gas systems much like direct impingement is, including a simple namedrop of an inventor of one mechanism.

It has appeared in a few TV programs and is known around the world. Just check out the Long Johnson tee shirts here. Its status is also recognized on the Know Your Meme site. It's even found additional fame in the Mediterranean with Spanish band Miss Caffeina and their Oh Long Johnson album hitting the charts. It charted on March 7, 2019. And guess where they got the name for the album from?? I wonder if that's why a month later MSN have put the "Oh Long Johnson" Talking Cat video up the following month.

It had made its way info the Faith Hilling episode of the animated television show South Park. In that episode, people are putting themselves in precarious situations and saying "Oh long Johnson".*->, *-> Just recently, this year in fact: A band from Spain, Miss Caffeina have taken the words "Oh Long Johnson" as the title for their new album.

- NOTE TO THE CLOSING ADMIN:, I can't see this article being deleted as there is a lot of spread by this meme. And recent news about a band having A #1 hit with their Oh Long Johnson album But if by some strange chance the wind decides to blow in one direction, I ask that the history of this article please be preserved and it directed to another page. Hopefully that won't happen though. Thanks. Regards Karl Twist (talk) 11:54, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete Having a page on "know your meme" doesn't automatically confer notability, nor does a passing reference in South Park. No depth-of-coverage in reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:05, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. YouTube is not a Wikipedia source that by itself establishes notability. And, per WP:NWEB, web popularity is not to be assessed on its own, i.e.
When evaluating the notability of web content, [we should] consider whether it has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education
. None of that around, I'm afraid. Just lots of "I like it." As to the "popularity" arguments, if we do not accept Google hits for humans as proof of notability, I'm afraid we cannot accept them for other animals, either. -The Gnome (talk) 07:22, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- Comment: Being listed by Google News doesn't make a subject notable for being entered in an encyclopedia. The page does not meet any of the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music). -- BhagyaMani (talk) 11:11, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- Reply to the above comment by BhagyaMani. Ah excuse me! Nowhere did I try to say that the article was notable for being listed in Google News. I only included that to show that Týden.cz appears in Google News a lot as well as being references here by Wikipedians a lot. Some people sometimes turn their noses up at sources from countries that are not considered Western. True! And this article here has nothing to do with music. Not sure why you brought music up. Karl Twist (talk) 11:18, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- Reply to the above comment by BhagyaMani, Oh that. That's just a quick grab of a few clips on YouTube, just to give breadth to what I was talking about. Juist showing how it's flowed on to other people who have used it. It doesn't show or suggest in any way that this article is about Music. Anyway, talking about Music. Check out Sound Cloud. There's quite a few people that have taken on a bit of "Oh Long Johnson mania". The only musical connection with this article (if you like) is the Oh Long Johnson album by Miss Caffeina. It was in the charts in Spain for 10 weeks and went to the no 1 position. The album title was inspired by "Oh Long Johnson" cat. It's up for deletion as well but like this, it's notable as it charted and went to no 1. Perhaps sometimes, in the eyes of some folks, what's not Western doesn't really count. Who knows what people think. Karl Twist (talk) 11:49, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- A further note to the closing admin:. Please if it looks like it's going to be leaning away from Keep. Could I please ask that the article not be deleted but be simply redirected to Cats and the Internet and we thus preserve the history. Perhaps in 12 months we could re-visit this by discussion and look at it being on its own again. But by preserving the edit history, leaving it intact would be the way to go. I'm sure there'll be more news articles in due course. Many thanks Karl Twist (talk) 11:56, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

- Reply to The Gnome. Yes I already said that but I forgot to mention a re-direct to "Cats and the Internet". I don't like to go back and re-edit something (even if nobody's replied to it) if there's been a fair bit of activity following it. And as for Quote:"avalanche of postings to overwhelm the process, possibly inadvertedly". I totally reject that. I will admit though, that when I'm passionate about something or enter into a debate, I do tend to get stuck in there. Anyway, I won't get into what I think is right or what is wrong. I'm happy to just step back anyway. Que Sera Sera. Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 08:04, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Inquiry on this case was happening at least from 4 years. Subramanian Swamy went to Supreme court and Delhi high court, to various investigative agencies. Karti Chidambaram-Son of P. Chidambaram was arrested in 2018 by ED for inquiry regarding this case. The case is long pending and it is alleged that Chidambaram took bribe when he was finance minister means in 2007. It is obvious that it provides negative image for Chidambaram but that doesn't mean page can't be created.

- I had classified the points and organised in a better way to make them readable. However, I am ready for contributing in this article. Extensive information is available on various source and this is not small and routine scandal. Former Home Minister and his son is directly involved in the case, court has denied them bail, investigation is happening atleast since 2016 and people like Subramanian Swamy took this court to the government,courts and various agencies. This deserves Wikipedia page; this is not possible to include in the existing page of Chidambaram. -- Harshil want to talk? 04:16, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Pharaoh of the Wizards, mostly we agree at AfDs but sad to see us strongly disagreeing here. Not everything that gets printed in newspapers get its own article. As the nom had elucidated above Wikipedia has strong bar for BLP and content that may have negative impact on a person in real life. Do we really want to create a page full of allegations, that is basically going to serve as an attack page on the subject ? Nothing is proven at this point of time and this in itself is strong reason to delete the page. --DBigXrayᗙ 06:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for your reply.Feel the case is notable and it is one of the big cases in India which will be getting substantial media both local and International coverage which is clearly WP:RS .Now the subject is a WP:PUBLICFIGURE
In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it.However we do need to include the the subject has denied such allegations
and accusations of political vendatta in the article . Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:15, 22 August 2019 (UTC)- Pharaoh of the Wizards if it is noteworthy, add it into the bio, dont create a seperate WP:ATTACKPAGE on it. --DBigXrayᗙ 09:51, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

There is no need to include "case" here any more than there was to include "scam" there. Those are headlinese and not in accordance with how Wikipedia articles are named. The actual names of the subjects are the companies.
Note also that I Monetary Advisory does not include arrests or politican-makes-pronouncement non-facts, and is not spread out in pieces across the biographies of the people involved.

- I was going post an explanation here after the page move, but got too tired at that point.
- I moved the page to a title that correctly describes its content. From the first sentence to the last, this page is only about the case against P. Chidambaram, not one on INX Media. I also retitled a section that called itself "Investigation" but only described the arrest of the subject. This page is likely to show up high on Google hits as the case hots up, and it is important to present a correct picture to the readers, much more so than our internal bureaucratic processes.
- I realize that the page move makes this AfD somewhat of a "mistrial". Perhaps it should be withdrawn so that a more appropriate AfD on the grounds of WP:POVFORK can be brought forward? Dlohcierekim, thoughts? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 09:29, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- I think moving it during the AfD unnecessarily complicated things. And no "mistrial". The AfD and/or the content must rise and fall on their merits regardless of what the name of the article has been changed to. Noting that this is mostly a page designed to attack a particular person does, in my mind, strengthen the argument for deletion.-- Dlohcierekim 09:37, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- The original intent of the page was to cover the complete INX Media case. You moved it to make it focus only about Chidambaram thus diluting the topic and making it look like a POVFORK. One can maliciously again move it to "Chidambaram's arrest in INX Media case" and thus make it more strong case for POVyness. Does the article not talk about Mukerjea and Chidambaram's son? The article was AFDed within a day not leaving time to add much info.

The result was keep. There's no doubt that this has reviews. The only question is whether the reviewers are "nationally known critics", and there's debate about that.

Article about a film, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it's technically verifiable as existing — the notability test for films requires evidence of importance, such as winning a notable film award and/or having published reviews in real media from professional film critics, but this has no such claims, and cites no notability-supporting references at all. Even the external link to Rotten Tomatoes (which is often one of the first lines of salvage for a poorly sourced film, since it lists published film reviews) lists zero reviews in this case, and the other two external links are just IMDb and an IMDb-clone directory, which are not evidence of notability — and I cannot find a single notability-boosting source on ProQuest or Google searches either. Even the purported sources that got this article kept the first time (but never actually got added to the article) failed to show up at all, and literally the only review I can actually find is from a non-notable blog which is so unreliable that it got National Film Board of Canada documentaries classified as B-movies the last time somebody tried to use it as a reference for Wikipedia content. As well, it bears note that earlier today, this got hit with a revert war over unverifiable claims that the director has recovered the copyright on the film and is retroactively renaming it back to his original working title, which escalated to that user getting editblocked within four hours for making legal threats — and while that's not a deletion rationale in and of itself, it does suggest conflict of interest intentions that are incompatible with the goals of Wikipedia.

The result was no consensus. Arguments are all over the map, with substantial sentiment behind any of keep, redirect, merge, or delete. The main item of disagreement here is whether being a "recognized" breed is a requirement for having an article. I don't see any killer arguments either way, nor am I aware of any WP:NDOGBREEDS that might give me guidance on that.
The article as it currently stands is woefully lacking in WP:RS, and has been tagged as such for three years. Normally, a lack of sources would mean an automatic deletion for failing WP:V, but there are enough sources presented here in the AfD text, that WP:V is clearly satisfied. So, we're back to there being no consensus about meeting WP:N.
Given the volume of discussion here, and the amount of time this has been going on (I came here from WP:AN/RFC), I don't see how further discussion is going to lead to a consensus. Apologies to Randykitty for stepping on their recent relist. Likewise, I'd encourage people thinking of re-nominating this per WP:RENOM, to instead work with your fellow editors on the talk pages to either find better sourcing or work towards a consensus for one of the possible merges mentioned in the discussion. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- NOTE TO CLOSER - the opening few sentences in the lead state:
:::The Catahoula bulldog is a crossbreed dog created by crossing the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog and the American Bulldog. Currently, they are not considered a breed by any major fancier and breeder organization. WP:NOT applies here - there are millions of Heinz 57 bred dogs, crossbreeds and individual crosses assumed to be a breed when they are not even a consistent type of dog because the information is anecdotally based and is unverifiable. If anything REDIRECT or MERGE to Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog. Atsme Talk 📧 03:55, 12 August 2019 (UTC) - Keep: Common enough crossbreed dog over a very long time. Not owned by people interested in 'show dogs'.
- A google search for "Catahoula Bulldog" brings up 1.3 million hits, and over 200,000 if you include the quotation marks for the search.
- This source [63] (as do many others) says the breed has been around for over 100 years, are well known among hunters and farmers, and though they're not recognized by the AKC there's enough specimens and demand for the breed that they are usually bred to each other (not first generation crossbreeds). Also this website [64]. Here is a new article about the breed [65] two months ago.
- The Wayback Machine archived a webpage [66] mentioning the first certified breeder of Catahoula Bulldogs in 1968. This webpage was by Animal Research Foundation, a registry of dogs dedicated to recording pedigrees prior to a breed's acceptance into official kennel clubs such as the AKC. A similar rendition of that webpage was archived from 2001-2010.
- The American Canine Assoc (Vet health tracking canine registry) has a page for the breed [67].
- The National Kennel Club has a breed standard for a Catahoula Cur, [68] reputed to be the same breed of "pig catch dog".
- The C.B. is mentioned in these Wikipedia articles: Dog crossbreed, List of dog breeds, Catch dog, Natural bobtail, Dogs in the United States, and List of fatal dog attacks in the United States (2000s) (a 2007 death involving a Catahoula Bulldog).
- This 2002-archived webpage states the breed origin was "late 1800's". [69]
- This page [70] mentions more of who and when the dog breed was developed further in the 1950's & 1960's.
- Here is a 2010 message board thread [71] discussing Catahoula Bulldogs, including several people who mention having them or knowing someone who has one, and pretty much describing them as working dogs for hog catching.
- Craigslist has several mentioned for sale or rehoming.
- C.B. is noted as one of the top 25 "Most popular mixed-breed dogs" (2016) [72]
- This article shows that C.B. is one of the top googled dog breeds in Louisiana, USA. [73]
- This article mentions a family that lost their C.B. in a kennel incident in Canada [74], and this German-language article [75] translated to English [76] states "In the USA, the country of origin, the Catahoula Bulldog is quite common; in Europe he is almost unknown."
- Over all, this breed seems notable enough for a standalone article in Wikipedia. Recognition by a kennel club or having no show dog status and no breed 'standard' (which is a feature of show dogs), does not disqualify this breed from having its own article in Wikipedia.

- NOTE: Misidentified dogs are being euthanized. Winograd stated:
"Not only do shelters misidentify breeds as much as 75 percent of the time, but as used by shelters, law enforcement agencies and even courts, “Pit Bull” is not a breed of dog. It is, according to a leading advocacy organization, “a catch-all term used to describe a continually expanding incoherent group of dogs, including pure-bred dogs and mixed-breed dogs. A ‘Pit Bull’ is any dog an animal control officer, shelter worker, dog trainer, politician, dog owner, police officer, newspaper reporter or anyone else says is a ‘Pit Bull.’” When it comes to dogs we call “Pit Bulls,” PETA is not only killing them based on meaningless stereotypes, they are asking shelters to kill dogs they mistakenly think fit those stereotypes by the way they look."
- Other articles of note: USC.edu, Plos, Smithsonian, and on and on. It is of the utmost importance that we get these dog articles right, and that our core content policies are strictly followed with regards to dog breeds, breed types and types of dogs. Atsme Talk 📧 22:46, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Merge, probably into Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog, with sources. Relevant material may also work in the list of crossbreeds. An article with zero sources clearly fails notability and WP:ILIKEIT is not a rationale for keeping. Montanabw(talk) 23:01, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Merge into Mongrel. I can appreciate the work that's gone into this article, and I applaud collaborative work that's built the article to its current state. Still, I don't see where it has made any claim to have established notability, and as it is I feel it comes up short of our WP:GNG section of that policy. I suppose merging with the list of cross breed dogs or even with Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog is an option - but I think the most logical choice is to save what we can to the mongrel article. — Ched : ? — 23:37, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
- Obvious merge and redirect to what is presently Louisiana Catahoula Leopard dog; they're just multiple names for the same breed (or cross-breeds involving it). Move the merged result to Catahoula Cur, the name used by the registry (a reliable source), and also per WP:CONCISE. While there's lots of Internet chatter about "Catahoula bulldog", e-commentary in forums and blog posts by nobodies are not reliable sources; nor are websites of dog breeders and breed/cross-breed promotion groups (they have a monetary interest, ergo they fail WP:INDY.) There's nothing reliable here that establishes that a "Catahoula Bulldog" has somehow breed-forked from the rest of the Catahoula dogs and is accepted by the public as a breed in its own right; that's just WP:POV and WP:COI and WP:SOAPBOX. WikiProject Dogs, after its re-start a while back, has been successfully merging various WP:CONTENTFORK articles, and this should continue. If two organizations (kennel clubs, breeder groups, etc.) have two different names for essentially the same dogs, that's a single breed, covered by a single article, with its multiple names listed. Crosses get mentioned in summary form at the articles on the parent breeds. Sub-breeds are covered at the main breed article. Same goes for cat breeds, horse breeds, etc. 00:05, 15 August 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AReaderOutThataway (talk • contribs)

Most of the entries are because their surname suggests that they might be Shia. Then, there is a possibility that they might not be practicing. As religion is a sensitive issue, so such lists for navigation purpose are not useful. Categories are a better way to go. As such, the list doesn't provide sourcing that they are practicing.

- I think that this is not a hoax, too. However, there are two problems with the subject. First, as mentioned, the actual sources are not in depth at all. The 1957 studentship award is a directory listing of award recipients containing just a name and a year. The 1981 exhibitions are a 1 sentence footnote in a book and a 1 sentence example in New Scientist respectively. Second, nothing that I can find conclusively links the student in the 1950s and the crewmember on the television series in the 2010s named Roger Ulick Branch Westman with the Roger Westman of the 1980s, given 1-sentence mentions in the sources with no context as to who xe actually is. This is a biography constructed by stitching together factoids that are two to three decades apart from each other, with no published source showing that those factoids are actually connected via one person.
All that said, I recommend a visit to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ItchyJP via Draft:Roger Ulich Branch Westman and Special:Diff/899034327.
- Keep. Roger Westman (artist) and Roger Ulick Branch Westman on IMDb are one in the same. He does meet Wikipedias notability guideline as a noted architect-turned-artist and has made considerable contributions to architecture from his time leaving the AA until recently. This article should not be put up for deletion but should instead have a template suggesting links to sources that validate his notability. A quick glance on IMDb biography shows that they are indeed the same person - https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10312457/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm. It would be a mistake to speedily delete this page when there are sources online to validate notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bauhaus1919-33 (talk • contribs)
- IMDB makes no mention of the Roger Westman of the 1980s. These are disconnected factoids over several decades, as I said, and you offer nothing to substantiate anything else, or indeed to show that this person's life and works have been documented in depth anywhere.

- Keep I did a News search which shows that Drivewyze has received sustained coverage since 2013 in multiple reliable independent sources, namely trade press for the road haulage sector. Given the nature of the product I would not expect reporting in the mainstream media, but there’s certainly enough in the specialist press to support the notability of the topic. I agree with the nominator’s view that a rewrite is probably needed, as I don’t think all of the current content is well supported, and some possibly not at all, but that’s a case for editing rather than deleting.

- Weak keep - I found a review here and a writeup here - it seems like a legit company serving a niche market (trucking), which is now international (having recently expanded from the USA into Canada) - this may be enough to satisfy WP:ORGCRIT which requires "significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable secondary sources" - Epinoia (talk) 00:54, 28 August 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - I think Epinoia is correct. It's marginal, really marginal, but notability might just be satisfied.

The result was redirect. The current article consists mainly of a bulleted list of features and advantages, and is hardly an article. Some participants have advocated outright deletion, but the option to redirect to a related article also appears acceptable. Two articles have been proposed as the redirect target. At my editorial discretion, I am redirecting to AngularJS#Angular_Material since there already is a "Angular Material" heading there, although redirecting to Angular (web framework) is also arguable. (The choice of redirect target does not require admin attention.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 11:45, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Redirect to AngularJS per WP:OVERLAP.Angular Material is a library exclusively for AngularJS that is maintained by the same developers as AngularJS. There is no need to have a separate article for this library. — Newslinger talk 09:56, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

Delete.There's some ambiguity between AngularJS and Angular (web framework), and it's unclear which one this article should redirect to. The subject of this article is only associated with the former, but there is another library named Angular Material that only works with the latter. If there were a clear redirect target, I would insist on a redirect because this library does meet WP:GNG with the article's cited sources, and there is no other topic on Wikipedia with the name angular material. — Newslinger talk 10:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)Merge into AngularJS.Angular Material is a library that implements Material Design for AngularJS. All 3 of the subjects (Angular Material, Material Design, and AngularJS) are developed by Google, and there is considerable overlap between Angular Material and AngularJS. The Angular Material article in its current state is highly promotional and its content relies almost entirely on primary sources, even though there are secondary sources cited. A merge of the citations and the lead sentence should be sufficient. Since there are two different Angular Material libraries, one targeting AngularJS and one targeting Angular (web framework), and it is unclear which article Angular Material should redirect to, the Angular Material page should either be deleted or converted into a disambiguation page after the merge. — Newslinger talk 22:49, 21 August 2019 (UTC)- OMG. lack of understanding.:) refer github to understand which library is it. that is a separate library. AngularJS is a JavaScript library, we can merge AngularJS to Javascript too: it does not work like that. Angular Material is a Meterial design library. Seperate article is needed. You can find many books about Angular Material. There is no overlap: only lack of understanding of the subject. Thanks.
- I am fully aware that AngularJS and Angular Material are in two separate Git repositories, and I still don't think Angular Material deserves a separate article. Angular Material is only used within AngularJS projects, and both Angular Material and AngularJS are developed by Google. This shows significant overlap and warrants a merge. There is nothing wrong with writing about Angular Material on Wikipedia, but it should be done in the AngularJS article because Angular Material is essentially a subtopic of AngularJS, despite being in a separate repository. All of the books you listed only refer to using Angular Material within AngularJS (or Angular (web framework), but that's a different Angular Material repository than the one described in the article). We don't have separate articles for Vue Router (repository) or Ember Data (repository) for the same reasons: they are closely associated with and are not used outside of their parent frameworks (Vue.js and Ember.js). Wikipedia is not a directory or a package registry, and articles don't need to have a one-to-one correspondence with Git repositories. In general, we would prefer to have one very comprehensive article on AngularJS and its associated libraries than to have separate articles that are less comprehensive. — Newslinger talk 02:18, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- I understand your logic. The issue here is people might query angular material as a phrase. There are books about it separately. Material design is a different topic which is different from general web design. With regarding future expansion, it will be important to have a seperate article for angular material which is effectively a sub-set of material design than AngularJS. (e.g. we are not going to include all the JavaScript frameworks under the article JavaScript, for, the same reason). In design viewpoint, it should be under material design not AngularJS as the usage is different. Thanks.Shevonsilva (talk) 15:56, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

- Strongly Keep: I got really a problem here. Angular Material is used in many places in software development as a dependency and it is really a popular library. There is no issue in notability (refer references). This is really disturbing my contribution. These articles should be reviewed through experienced and IT expertise people. I find it really disturbing placing deletion tags' without even understating the content. Do not redirect as usage of AngularJS and Angular Material is different as Angular material is a part of material design. Angular Material is probably one of top 10 material design framework.[82][83] There are books mainly targeting Angular material (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=3gvpDAAAQBAJ). There are many tutorials about Angular Materials[84] (Note: Articles should be reviewed by experienced people.

- Redirect to Angular (web framework) where it is mentioned as a component of that framework 5 times - the five books referenced in the Angular Material article are all about using Angular (web framework) and using Angular Material as part of Angular projects, so it is not notable outside of that context - If the article can only be understood by experienced writers and IT experts, then it falls under "Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal" WP:NOTMANUAL. Writing better articles says that articles should be "accessible and understandable for as many readers as possible" and "Aim for a balance between comprehensibility and detail so that readers can gain information from the article" and should "make sense if the reader gets to it as a random page" and "if we cannot explain to readers why something is important, then it is not important" - I can't see any way that this is important as a stand-alone article, therefore, redirect to main article - Epinoia (talk) 00:18, 28 August 2019 (UTC)

- Delete I note that there have been multiple previous deletions of Suwarndeep Sinha, the person's real name, and that the article title has now been salted. The article fails to establish notability per WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO, and looking for sources I couldn't find anything better (although searching for a composer just called Sonu was made more complicated by the existence of a composer called Sonu Nigam, so it's always possible that I might have missed something, especially in non-English sources).

- Question@Johnpacklambert:, @Harshil169: - Please could you expand on your comments? The article has no in-line references, only an external link to a promotional press-release. Is it possible that you have confused the subject with Sonu Nigam, who is an eminently notable composer and singer? If there are any sources about this person, I'd be grateful if you could point them out, so I can consider changing my vote. Thanks GirthSummit (blether) 16:25, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
- Or indeed Sonu - Songs from the Homeland, a folk music project, or Sonu, a track by Shankar Tucker?

The result was merge to List of townlands of County Donegal. I am treating the addendum to Epinoia's stance as an effective "merge" argument; with respect to the delete argument only one of them is against a merge and "there are no other examples of this solution" is not a compelling counterargument.

- Delete - His story is indeed tragic, but Wikipedia cannot and should not become a shrine or a repository of grief. This case is not notable per WP:1E and any reliable sourcing on his demise can be discreetly tucked away into the article on the movie rather than by creating an overt content fork!

- Keep - won an Emmy Award, meets WP:ANYBIO #1 ("The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor"). Needs improving, not deleting. GiantSnowman 07:48, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep/merge I agree that detailed info about this person seems quite scarce but here's another source. The worst case is a merger into A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood – the movie in question per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 09:25, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep - He's won an Emmy, which means he passes WP:ANYBIO. To be fair, that guideline states that meeting a criteria doesn't guarantee inclusion, but 99% of the time we treat a major award like an Emmy as sufficient in and of itself. And in this case, we also have the substantial news coverage surrounding his death, which means there are a tonne of RSs giving information about his life sufficient to flesh out an article. On it's own that might be a WP:BLP1E case, but take it with the Emmy, and notability is clearly established. Hugsyrup 14:44, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete There are very many recipients of technical Emmy awards who are not notable and do not need Wikipedia pages. I believe that Emswiller is one of these individuals, as the only sources that reference him are in relation to his work on an anticipated film and his tragic death tangentially related to the production. KidAd (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete The headlines of the obits are playing up the Emmy, but I have to agree with the above comment. The Television academy gives out thousands of awards every year in multiple divisions. His was for a marquee show (on HBO) but was not among the marquee awards we normally confer for Wiki notability (unless one is a significant multiple winner across many years). His Emmy was of the technical variety, awarded at a separate “Creative Art’s” ceremony. He was one of 25 people to be awarded Sound Mixing Emmys at that year’s dinner, one of five on the team that won for HBO’s “Bessie” in the category of “Outstanding Sound Mixing in a Limited Series or Movie.” See: [89] It’s a great professional accomplishment that I’m sure led to better assignments among Sound Mixing projects, but I don’t believe it’s the type that meets WP:ANYBIO. Otherwise, all that’s left--as noted--is wide coverage of his on-set death, but WP:NOTNEWS. Seems like he was an accomplish professional with many credits, but without SIGCOV during his lifetime, it's as ordinary as any successful person, but not encyclopedic worthy. ShelbyMarion (talk) 21:42, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - an Emmy has not quite the prestige of an Oscar. I stand by my belief that winning an Academy Award, even for the most technical, creates automatic notability. Bearian (talk) 15:20, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
- To be fair, however WP:ANYBIO doesn't say 'has won an award with the prestige of an Oscar'. It says 'has won a well known and significant award'. Are Emmys not well-known and significant?

The subject of the article has not received significant coverage for his artistic output. A Google search will yield only his Wiki page, personal website, his generic profile on "artnet" (?) and the LinkedIn profiles of individuals with the same name. KidAd (talk) 03:27, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
