  • Delete - looking into the history of the editor who wrote this article, it is beginning to look more and more like Pushing a certain POV and WP:OR. The references provided look a bit sketchy, and no real evidence is provided. Given the high tensions the Israli-Palestinian conflict has on Wikipedia, articles related to it should be held to a high standard of reliability and citations. The user who started the articles conduct here and here shows that they are very opinonated concerning this subject. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:14, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Poorly sourced, and it reads like a machine translation of the he.wiki article. (I think editors should be applauded for translating decent articles from one language to another, but a reasonable knowledge of English seems lacking here, as idioms are translated literally.) — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:29, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — The sourcing (or lack thereof) and motives of the article creator are too sketchy in my review of this article. An abundance of original research was compiled by an editor who it appears evident was pushing a POV and was incredibly disruptive in doing so. Wikipedia is not a soapbox for such editors, especially in a topic area that can get heated for some.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:55, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Poorly veiled WP:POV fork from a highly disruptive WP:POV warrior. Not to mention the quality of writing and sourcing easily fails the requirements for the highly contentious topic of WP:A/I/PIA Tsumikiria (T/C) 06:38, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I raised my concerns about the sources at the talk page some time ago, but they were not addressed. There are no WP:RS supporting the body of the article. Also the phrasing of the article title is POV as it suggests one-way migration – the sources I have read on this topic suggest two-way minor migration. Coincidentally(?!), this morning some of those sources were removed from another article here [1]. Onceinawhile (talk) 09:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While the topic is something that "could" be a page with the addition of scholarly sources on the matter.

There is simply not enough continuity in the Goosebumps franchise to have a list of characters without being too trivial, except for Slappy the Dummy, who has his own article. Thus, the list is grossly inomplete and the character details are very short and sketchy. In short, I am nominating this for the same reason it was deleted in 2010.

The casting information belongs in the relevant film and television articles (the former of which already includes this information). –LaundryPizza03 (d) 23:23, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Prodded twice. In August 2009, it was prodded on grounds that only one person had ever held this then-new office; it was subsequently deprodded because "there will be more" in the future and thus it is expandable – whuch violates WP:CRYSTAL! Now, over 9 years later, no new people have been added to the list, nor have any attempts been made to establish that the sole entry (Ramón Ventura Camejo), or even the Secretary of Public Administration itself, is notable. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 23:12, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. According to Cabinet of the Dominican Republic, the same person listed here still holds the position today — but we don't need a list of just one person, especially since he doesn't even have an article to link to yet (and he doesn't even have one in Spanish yet, either!) If we had an article about the government department itself, then it could certainly contain an embedded list — but a government office which doesn't have an article yet doesn't need a standalone "list" of a single holder, when that same information is already available in another article anyway.

  • Weak delete: An article on a technology firm featuring their appearance on an early-stage company list and receipt of a Queen's Awards for Enterprise. The 2016 WIRED article about their use of smartphone-based data gathering is probably more about product than company but could perhaps contribute towards supporting notability. (Similar text summarising the company's product proposition had been also placed at Usage-based_insurance#UK, which may be sufficient.) A case study of an earlier SMS-based product can also be found: [2]. Regarding the company itself, there is a relatively detailed interview-based item from 2014 here, but it is on the site of an entity which had given a Business Loan Fund grant so cannot be considered a fully independent source. I don't see the sum of the available sources as enough to establish WP:NCORP notability at this time. AllyD (talk) 09:58, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I got a few hits on Google Books, but they're a bit strange - see:
Each of these books mentions the Kent/Sussex Detoxification Center - but all using exactly the same text, word for word. I don't have access to the books, but they all appear to be edited collections (from reputable publishers) - perhaps the same article, written by someone related to the center, being submitted to multiple collections? It's talking about acupuncture in alleviating addiction - might be worth a medical editor with experience in this area taking a look, I'll drop a note at WikiProject Medicine.

5.9 kiloyear event[edit]

Unlike the related topics 8.2 kiloyear event and 4.2 kiloyear event both of which have substantial sources (8.2 kiloyear event, 4.2 kiloyear event), I am not finding enough documentation about a "5.9 kiloyear event" to establish that it meets WP:N or WP:EVENTCRITERIA:

  • Google Scholar for 5.9 ka and similar search terms mostly returns incidental findings for "5.9 ka" rather than any coherent subject.
  • Regular Google returns mainly incidental mentions, non-reliable sources or sources that appear to be based on Wikipedia.
  • Of the sources in the article, most do not discuss a climate event at this time or only mention it in passing. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1040618206000474 does discuss such an event, but in the context of a general 7,000-5,500 climate change.
  • Some sources discuss a Bond event at this time but typically without much context on any extended effects, and most Bond events don't have dedicated articles unless they have substantial independent coverage, e.g Little Ice Age
  • As I wrote (and sourced) in African humid period, while the formation of the Sahara began about 6,000 years ago, it does not seem like there was a significant event 5,900 years ago. There was one 5,500 years ago, but that appears to relate to the Piora Oscillation not to a "5.9 ka event".

I think this article is about a concept that largely does not exist and isn't really separate enough from the regular Bond events to merit its own article. So I would recommend to redirect this article to Bond event, or delete it altogether. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:34, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Bond event#List point 4. From source searches on JSTOR and Wiley, it appears that the 5.9 kiloyear event isn't referred to that per se and is taken as part of a larger spectrum of Holocene events. SITH (talk) 20:00, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would definitely want to see the information in that article merged into some other article before replacing it with a redirect. --bender235 (talk) 21:33, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is valid content that could be included in Road church article, but apparently was split out due to length. It is a non-controversial editorial decision to split out sections from a list-article when it gets too long. The concept of road churches and their numerosity are both interesting to me, FWIW. --Doncram (talk) 07:42, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. The top-level list includes source https://www.tiekirkot.fi/ which covers "tiekirkot" in Finland (i guess "kirk" means church, "kirkot" I am guessing is its plural, and i suppose "tie" might mean road); the source was not copied to the split out article but that is just a matter for editing. --Doncram (talk) 07:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. Try (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL.
I google "tiekirkot" and happen to click on one of the results pages and choose to translate the page to English, and drill down and down and down (and at some point am at [3]), and come to page with translated content "Meløy church is located in Fore and Meløy sokn in Bodø Domprosti. It is built in wood and was built in 1867. The church has a long and 500 seat. The church has a listed status list (after 1850). Architect: H.Mosling / JWJordan." This one happens to be in Norway not Finland, but is about a historic church on its country's version of a national register of historic places. It is my impression from traveling, that throughout Scandinavia (which technically does not include Finland, but why would it be different there?) there are these historic churches of the state Protestant religion, often/usually on their own out in the countryside, which seem obviously historic and architecturally significant and worthy of national historic registry listing, which either are under-utilized nowadays or are perfectly well-kept and continuously utilized. Probably they were always intended to be "road churches" serving a large area, to which church members would travel by roadways where those exist. Some accessible by boating across a fjord or whatever. These are certainly worth listing. --Doncram (talk) 08:08, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This concept started in Germany in the 1950s and was copied in Finland in the 1990s. In the German Wikipedia de:Kategorie:Autobahnkirche some of the churches are even named "Autobahnkirche" because they have been built near autobahn highways, but in Finland the concept is a bit different, I think. These are all normal churches except that they have agreed to be open during summertime and they have information or a guide for visitors. I don't have an opinion on the notability issue. The singular is "kirkko". :) -kyykaarme (talk) 23:01, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep List needs to be cleaned up, not deleted. Road church are prevalent in Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Russia. Aurornisxui (talk) 15:04, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not one of these churches is notable. If we were to have an indiscriminate list of every church in the UK, it would be rightly condemned. I see no difference here. Spiderone 23:32, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not so: some or perhaps all of these are Wikipedia-notable for individual articles, as supported by User:Aurornisxui's info below. And probably all are perfectly fine as items on a list, i.e. list-item notability can be lower threshold than individual article notability. Perhaps you could change your !vote here, User:Spiderone?
Some editors might prefer for Wikipedia lists to be built from the bottom up, i.e. create individual articles on items and only list those, building up. It is perfectly fine (and better IMHO) to develop from the top down: create a list-article and allow for development including gradual splitting out of separate articles on items of the list.
No one wants it to be an "indiscriminate list", but if you think it is, then that is a matter for editing and discussion at its Talk page, to perhaps pare off some items eventually. Probably best to let this one be developed for a while, first.
About U.K. churches, fine, see new list-article List of churches in England, which somehow we did not have until I just created it now (converted from a redirect). --Doncram (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Road churches are a notable phenomenon and many of these churches are notable. It just requires translation and wikilinking. For instance, one of the churches is the Espoo Cathedral build in 1480 but it's just not translated and wikilinked. --Pudeo (talk) 22:38, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Road churches aren't notable because they are road churches, they are notable because each of them are coverage by independent secondary sources, as per WP:NCHURCH. Among this whole list, there isn't any evidence of this. Ajf773 (talk) 01:10, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. If all the individual churches had been notable and had articles, this list would have been unnecessary – we could have replaced it with a category instead. But since the phenomenon is notable but all the individual manifestations aren't, collecting all of the road churches in Finland in one article is a good way to give an overview of the subject. /Julle (talk) 17:53, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, in fact that is quite the opposite. If there was notable entries then a list and category would be sufficient.

So what are your thoughts to making the list less useless? My thoughts personally would be remove all the non notable entries, although that would be pretty much the whole list. Ajf773 (talk) 23:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What would you consider to be notable? Maybe the list needs to be changed from Road churches (noting the delete comment below) and changed to historic Finnish churches, i.e. churches that are on the Finnish National Board of Antiquities. I checked and there is no such list on Wikipedia.Aurornisxui (talk) 02:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While the concept of "road church" might be a notable subject, this is just a list that shows which Finnish churches were open for visitors in the summer of 2012. I checked the list briefly and found two churches that were not on the list for summer of 2018 on the official website https://www.tiekirkot.fi/tiekirkot/ (there might be more, I didn't keep checking when I found the two). The list for summer of 2019 is not published yet, and I don't think old lists from previous years are accessible anymore. For the list to be useful for readers, it would have to be updated every year which doesn't seem sensible (would churches be removed from the list or marked as "former" road churches?). Readers and tourists can see the list on the website. -kyykaarme (talk) 22:54, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your objection seems to me to be only that the set of road churches changes over time. That poses no problem for a list-article. Yes, list-articles do need to be maintained and updated. For all or almost all articles about historic churches or other historic sites, policy/practice is that we include currently listed and formerly listed places on the same list, although maybe indicating former status somehow differently. With the current title of article, it would be appropriate to include all current and former churches which are notable road churches (where notability might be defined at a lower level than their having a separate article about them). It is also possible that this list could/should be converted to being a list of historic Finnish churches, whether road churches or not, as has been suggested above. However outright deletion of the article would not advance Wikipedia and is not needed. I think that there is consensus of fact that many/most of these are individually notable churches, and removing the one existing list of them would not be helpful. --Doncram (talk) 09:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete It could not be more clear. This is not even an article. This is a directory. Not even sourced! Trillfendi (talk) 22:55, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Trillfendi: It references Suomen tiekirkot 2012 ("Finnish Road Churches 2012") by fi:Kirkkopalvelut? /Julle (talk) 00:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Julle: You’ve gotta be kidding me. All they did was type that in the reference tag. They didn’t even try to source it correctly. Or any source for that matter. This page is a mess and not suitable for Wikipedia in this format. If anything it should’ve been a speedy deletion. Trillfendi (talk) 00:28, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The source itself is a directory. A primary source. Not sufficient for notability. Ajf773 (talk) 03:55, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Per definition, we know that this was not suitable for speedy deletion, as that is not the way to go for anything that would end up as an so far inconclusive AfD discussion. Also, given that writing encyclopedic articles is something that has something of a learning curve, I see no reason to not assume they did indeed do their best with the sourcing, given that the creation of it was the fourth edit from the user in question and how to indicate the source for an entire list in a footnote is far beyond what most newcomers figure out how to do. /Julle (talk) 01:47, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have yet to see anyone successfully explain how WP:NOTDIR can just be ignored for this particular list. Also, I have yet to see any evidence that even one of these churches would pass GNG. If that is the case, then we just have a directory of non-notable churches. Spiderone 19:50, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see another editor, in an attempt to assist the article, added links to two Finnish cathedrals. However I don't particularly believe that cathedrals fit into the category of road churches. Not even the articles themselves admit this distinction. Ajf773 (talk) 20:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That editor was actually me! I'm trying my best to find some notability in these churches. I'm also not convinced that cathedrals belong here and therefore I am still keeping my delete vote. Spiderone 21:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
NOTDIR does not apply because it simply does not apply. These are notable churches, and they also happen to be "road churches". The list does not include phone numbers and church service hours, i.e. the kind of temporary ephemera that the NOTDIR guideline or essay or whatever it is was written to address. What specific quote from NOTDIR do you think applies? I will probably disagree. Also, see ongoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of San Francisco Municipal Railway lines (2nd nomination) for other current AFD discussion where some editors assert NOTDIR applies, and IMHO that view is properly and completely refuted by knowledgeable other editors.
I think that some editors are simply not agreeing that many of the individual churches are probably individually wikipedia-notable (while IMO the discussion has established that several/most/perhaps all are). And some editors are not agreeing that any list of churches in Finland is acceptable (I and others have offered this could be moved to simply "List of churches in Finland" and that there the "road church" designation could be noted as an attribute for some), but of course Wikipedia should allow a list of churches. Also if the list is kept restricted to "road churches" then it remains valid as a split out of the Road church article. Sorry, I see no way at all that this should be deleted. Maybe really what is going on is that some want the list-article to be improved right away, while wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. The topic has been established to be valid, IMO, so those who don't like the list should perhaps give it a negative tag or two, or post about its defects at its Talk page, but I don't see merit in continuing this AFD. It is ready to be closed (Keep), imho, based on facts, policies, etc. discussed so far. --Doncram (talk) 23:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Michig, has there been an RfC on that? I was under the impression, from browsing the website, that AllMusic is to the music world what IMDb is to the film world. Best, SITH (talk) 17:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Biographies and Allmusic reviews are by Allmusic staff, some of whom are well known and long-established music writers. It's a myth that 'anyone can contribute' to Allmusic - it has user reviews, but these are clearly distinct from their staff reviews. --Michig (talk) 18:03, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I guess it's just a page-by-page basis then. If an article cites user reviews we'll just have to analyse the source itself. Thanks for clearing that up! SITH (talk) 18:30, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

AllMusic has artists submit their products to get added to the database. "TiVo tries to add albums and artist bios -- as well as review and synopsize as many CDs, films, and DVDs -- as possible". Reviews and the existence of content on their website isn't as "hand-picked" by the editors as it may seem. Jon Kolbert (talk) 18:51, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Allmusic contains a database of releases, personnel, etc., sidebars with genres etc. - none of these are considered reliable. Biographies and reviews written by Allmusic staff writers, however, are. Artists don't submit their own reviews and get them published as Allmusic reviews. --Michig (talk) 19:21, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Justifying that, the sources in the article are:
  • Their own website
  • Medium (unreliable due to being a blog)
  • GadgetHacks Assuming the site is reliable, not indepth, a short how to that fails Reviews that narrowly focus on a particular product or function without broader context per WP:PRODUCTREV
  • Droid Panic Looks to be a blog, and similarily fails being in-depth.
  • Hack Read again, similarily fails being indepth. A one paragraph how to.
  • Malavida no indication from the site that it has an editorial staff or is reliable in any way.
There's a shedload of similar blogy "how-to" coverage and PR coverage, but no independant in-depth (and reliable) coverage that allows us to write a reasonable neutral article. Galobtter (pingó mió) 17:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as noted in the last AfD, the sources exist at the bare minimum.
  • The standard for notability is not whether the sources used are in-depth coverage, but whether the sources exist to show notability and future use bringing the article up to standards. As it sits on :en the article is poor - but the sources exist to make it better. Search Google's news, books, scholar, etc and there are many good cites, many which aren't in English. Several book sources on Google show significant coverage but don't have a live preview. Particularly would be Android developer books that have sections on using Lucky Patcher as a test against your own code. WP:DEADLINE, eventually, blah blah blah.

  • The software isn't illegal itself, but it does allow things that would be considered illegal.
  • The article has at least two dozen editors, unless GSS wants to identify one as being a paid contributor and the other two dozen as flunkeys, stop making this claim because it is insulting to the good faith contributions of everyone involved.
SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 04:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Out of all two dozen editors, 12 are single purpose registered accounts +23 IPs who made no or a couple of edits outside this topic and rest of the users made some maintenance edits excluding you.

According To Google, the definition of notability is “the fact or quality of being notable.”, and the definition of notable is “worthy of attention or notice; remarkable.” As stated before the program Lucky Patcher is very popular and worthy of attention as one can see if one takes a few seconds to check, so either you or Google have something wrong. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.213.186.249 (talk) 11:40, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Capital Sound. Musicians notable primarily as members of bands are not automatically entitled to have standalone BLPs as individuals, unless they can make strong claims to independently passing WP:NMUSIC — but he doesn't have that, and the article is relying entirely on primary sources (his own website, Facebook, the buy-it pages of his own works on online stores, etc.) rather than notability-supporting reliable source media coverage. Thanks to Ifnord for getting Capital Sound's article started — it does still need some additional referencing and expansion, but it's got their base notability covered off and the improvement for a band whose notability claim is 20 years old will have to come from archival digging rather than Google. But now that it's in place, this can indeed be redirected there. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Biography which fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:ATHLETE or WP:NCRIC.

  • You were expecting a delete vote but actually it was me, Dio! Comment. I previously nominated this for PROD on the premise that it does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. It was dePRODed by an editor who claimed to have found many more sources by searching for "Jo-Jo Penn"–following this advice, I found these two articles [15] [16] in The Australian, one of which tantalizingly described an epic showdown between Penn and May in the Google preview. Unfortunately I don't have a subscription to The Australian and can't access the articles to confirm that there is significant coverage there between the two of them. All in all, I have yet to actually see the kind of coverage necessary to meet GNG (and even if the Australian pieces are relevant, that means we have a running total of one RS giving significant coverage, which is technically not enough on its own), but there's a chance that there's some better coverage behind paywalls. signed, Rosguill talk 18:41, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do we need this?

From the article's lede:

«The United Nations (UN) war crimes prosecutors investigated the case in 2002 and 2003, and again in 2004, but concluded there was insufficient evidence to prove that the organ harvesting ring existed.[6]» and «Since the issuance of the report, however, senior sources in the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) and many members of the European Parliament have expressed serious doubts regarding the report and its foundations, believing Marty failed to provide "any evidence" concerning the allegations.[8]»

So it seems like this is a largerly unfounded conspiarcy theory, largerly disseminated by russian and serbian media, yet the article (outside of the lede) presents it in a completely uncritical way. The article should be either completely rewritten or removed alltogether (possibly merging the neutral bits that critically access the conspiracy theory with the War crimes in the Kosovo War article) Openlydialectic (talk) 13:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • The question isn't whether the allegations are true, but rather is the subject notable, which it doesn't seem that you are disputing if I'm reading your comment correctly. If there is a POV issue with the current content, that is to be addressed through editing and discussion, not deletion, and merger with War crimes in the Kosovo War is also a topic for ordinary processes. See WP:ATD. postdlf (talk) 16:04, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with War crimes in the Kosovo War. The focus of the article is strongly on instances perpetrated by Kosovo Liberation Army during the aforementioned conflict. Adding up the readable prose in both articles, a merge wouldn't put the resulting article over the recommended maximum article size, and there is some well-referenced stuff in this article, so a simple redirect would result in the loss of some valuable content.

  • Delete, allegations or investigations on various colors of criminality, in this case organ trafficing, exist in every country. Let's start with US or other western countries where the demand is higher. I don't see any articles for other countries. The article is mainly based on B92 Serbian sources, trying to connect the KLA with organ trafficing, still 20 years after the war without proving anything. The rest are stating allegations, and no substance is being ellaborated. A good part of the references are regarding the MEDICUS case, which has nothing to do with the Kosovo War and is unrelated to the "organ trafficing" allegations.--Mondiad (talk) 00:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. The 2008 Xbox 360 game mentioned above is Battle for Atlantis, and is evidently unrelated to the 1981 arcade Battle of Atlantis that is this article's subject. As to the topic itself, I don't currently have access to Bill Kurtz's The Encyclopedia of Arcade Video Games, which is probably the definitive reference work on the topic; it would be helpful to see how much coverage this game received there. Otherwise, it receives brief mention for its early influence in this article, although I'm uncertain whether there is sufficient coverage there to be considered "significant" (a separate discussion can be had about whether that's a RS; Gamasutra staff works are generally considered reliable, but I'm not aware of any binding determination on content provided by their "expert bloggers" – people who are explicitly not Gamasutra staff but who the staff have quasi-endorsed as they are typically "professional developers who post regularly, write informatively, and can draw on a wealth of real-world development experience"). In any case, I don't think that's enough to meet the inclusion bar unless Kurtz provided it with more coverage than I would expect.

  • Note Someone placed a speedy tag on the article while the AFD was ongoing. I've removed it as I feel AFD is a better venue for this. Point 2 on the page defnining a credible claim of significance contains this language, "If the references within the article discuss the subject . . . then too the A7, A9 and A11 tags should not be applied." The article lists two references, which do discuss him in substantive ways. I do not think they meet the threshold for GNG or Musicbio, but they do discuss the subject and thus are enough to make AFD a more appropriate venue than A7. Also, just on general principle, once an AFD has been started imo it's generally better to let it run rather than tag for speedy (with exceptions for truly egregious hoaxes and BLP violations). ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 17:34, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep/Comment - I fully understand why this article was nominated as it certainly fails the notability criteria for musicians at the moment. However Tom MacDonald has been making waves and causing a fair bit of coverage as he is one of the few rappers to openly express a conservative/right-wing position through his music. There are a fair bit of sources regarding this (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). These citations could certainly be better, and by and large I feel the slightest inclination that the subject might just pass WP:GNG, although the delete !votes certainly have their logic.

I don’t think those qualify of reliable sources per se; babe.net is really no more than a blog. If we grasp for straws his only “notability” is being chosen as Anthony Fantano’s Worst song of the Year but that’s only a matter of opinion (as he says in the video’s caption).

  • Comment As the creator of this article, I think I might as well weigh in. I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should be kept or deleted. My rationale for creating the article was that he was making waves and that people would naturally want to find information about him from Wikipedia, as evidenced by many people searching Google for his Wikipedia article. True, it is very much a stub article, but I figured in time, it would be filled in by people who work on music-related articles (of which I am not one) as his career (presumably) develops.

  • Delete. Nothing here passes WP:NMUSIC, and nothing even tries — an IP separately added an unverified claim about his popularity on social media, but it got reverted within a few hours because in addition to being unsourced, "got X number of views on a piece of social media content" is not a notability claim in the first place. And the two references present here are WordPress blogs, not reliable or notability-supporting real media. Yes, this is possibly just WP:TOOSOON, so no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he actually has a credible notability claim and the correct kind of reliable source coverage to support it — but Wikipedia is not a public relations venue on which aspiring musicians are entitled to have articles for the publicity, so just because somebody is purportedly "making waves" in the blogosphere is not enough.

This article is blatant WP:SYN, virtually the entire thing is primary sourced to Bible passages and the few sources that are not the Bible are generally unreliable. Even if the topic is notable (not every evangelical trope is), this is a clear case for WP:TNT because this article violates WP:NOR and every version I have checked has the same problem. The best may be [17] but even this brave effort by JamesBWatson still leaves great swathes that are syntheses from the sources (not his fault, that is why he made the previous AfD nomination I guess). I went to stub it down to reliable stuff but the search results did not contain anything I would consider usable: lots of self-published evangelical proselytising and no actual substantive reliable sources, and the sources I do consider reliable, do not cover the topic beyond passing mentions that kind of assume you know what it is. "Fivefold ministry" quoted gets a couple of pages of Google hits, mainly sermons and mission pages. There are some mission training books and the like but none by notable authors and most seem to be published by niche charismatic presses often directly linked to the author's ministry.

  • Delete. The article is about a doctrine of a particular group of christians. Sources are from those people, and thus not independent, and are mostly not reliable sources, and there is very little coverage of it in independent sources. Some of the cited sources and external links actually don't even mention the "fivefold ministry" at all. Also, most of the content of the article is not even supported by the cited sources, and that has been true for all or virtually all of the article's history. The original version of the article consisted purely of a statement of one person's opinion on the matter, and although over the course of time the content has shifted and changed, it has continued in almost all its versions to be essentially attempting to present the personal views of a succession of editors, many of them single-purpose editors. From time to time editors have expressed concern about these problems, and various editors have attempted to clean the article up, but it has never fully cured the problems, and each time it has fairly soon returned to being no better than before.

List of books on Amazon:
This is Wikipedia. We require reliable independent secondary sources that are actually about the subject. A list of books indicates that such sources might exist, but does not actually provide notability, especially for a spam article like this. Guy (Help!) 23:49, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, agreed. Did you see the links above the list of books?
As a side note, the assertion that the article is 'spam' is subjective and, given others' responses on this page, seems premature. peterl (talk) 04:34, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. While the article was created by a likely SPA/COI editor in 2007, it has been edited by numerous others since. Notability needs to be more firmly established with more independent sources (work which E.M.Gregory has started) but multiple books cited in multiple other books would appear to meet WP:NAUTHOR. I've only done a very quick search, but his work is cited in an article in The Washington Post as an expert opinion here and by the Christian Post here. There is also some news coverage of his participation in a protest e.g. here. Melcous (talk) 21:31, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Among those "numerous others" are several SPAs and IPs with no other contributions, plus one account that claims to be the subject himself, and a lot of trivial wikignoming. Which non-conflicted editors have made substantive contributions? Guy (Help!) 23:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know; I have no way of knowing which editors are non-conflicted. Do you think the wording is biased or promotional due to COI editing? If so, lets work on changing it, but that doesn't seem to be a good reason for deletion if notability can be established. Melcous (talk) 00:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd ping Guy, but he's obviously got this on his watchlist. Stop with trying to negate every comment and admit you didn't do WP:BEFORE correctly and move on. Whether the author himself, someone associated with the subject or paid by the subject or someone associated with him edited the article or not is not a reason to delete an article. The only reason to delete an article is if the subject is not notable, and this subject is clearly notable. CoI editing can easily be reverted, but Wikipedia should have articles about all notable subjects. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:16, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did do BEFORE. Other people have dramatically lower standards for sourcing, clearly (e.g. Eternity News, which gets and official "nope" from me), or a higher tolerance for spam. Guy (Help!) 16:36, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep article was admittedly poorly sourced when nominated. Moreover "Michael Frost" is a lamentably common name, some keywords (Christian; Sydney) help - a little. I and others have now found and added what I see as sufficient sources to firmly establish notability.

Since there is nothing to merge here as it is all unsourced, and it fails WP:GNG...

    FYI - AFD was a very different place back in 2006, and the 2000s in general. The standards were far lower back then, and you were far more likely to come across terrible discussions like that, where there’s very few allusions to policies and guidelines.

Additionally, nominator's most recent comment above calls for a merge, which doesn't need to handled at AfD anyway, and redirecting/merging to Shiodome is not obvious, given the history of the river (could also legitimately point to Ginza, Shinbashi, Tokyo Expressway, Hamarikyu Gardens, etc etc).

  • Keep Keep the full article. Among the article's References, the St. Petersburg Times and Wrestling Observer were regular sources of significant coverage. These are 2 reliable and significant coverage sources that have survived--there used to be more coverage available through searches that are no longer online, including TV listings articles. It's better to preserve remaining coverage that still exists, instead of deleting all history of a TV wrestling show altogether. People from different cities on YouTube have shared memories of the UWA, including the UWA airing on KTXH in Houston. Wikipedia has helped to preserve memory and history, and hopefully, more people will add sources to this article, so keep what memories still exist and build from there (not completely delete it from history and memory). For topics similar to this, slowly but surely, people have come up with archives of various sources from reliable collections. Matching facts in the article--Urban Wrestling Alliance TV episodes on YouTube show the UPN logo at the bottom right side of the screen, and some show the UPN TV Channel in different cities right next to the UPN logo, like UPN TV 20 Houston and UPN TV 69 Atlanta Shoehat3

With the dying away of print media sources especially, and with the possibility of some people thinking a subject's not notable just because they're not familiar with it, this is where some history dies away, and I'm just pointing out another "reliable source", that the UWA has been a main topic in itself, as a weekly TV organization (especially since there is visual evidence of UWA TV shows on UPN on YouTube, I can't believe that I'm the only one who remembers it).

It does not look like the artist's own page will survive AfD, but even so the album is already discussed on the artist's page, and what's left to merge would be a track list that would be inappropriate on an artist page, so merge is not a good approach here anyway.

promotional article for a corporate executive. Written in the usual PR model, with a little personal material added at the end. There is no indication that her company is notable, and therefore her activities, which seem mainly devoted to their internal R&D, are not likely to be notable either. Writing columns for a magazine, and a blog , which she does as well, are purely routine activities.

The refs are mainly to her own publications, and to promotional articles in various media. DGG ( talk ) 06:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah. I was right. The Hex Girls was previously deleted at AfD in 2011 (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Hex Girls). It was then userfied and eventually came back as a redirect to List of Scooby-Doo characters#The Hex Girls where, guess what, we find pretty much exactly the same content as in this article, presumably pasted from the same source. I have cut that down quite a bit now but it is still more coverage than the subject merits. This also counts as a strong additional argument for deletion here, namely that we already have way more than sufficient coverage of this subject in another article and do not need to duplicate it here. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:26, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

tabloid content. It's time we realized that primary claims of this sort "digital influencer" when in the lede mixed with trivia like "being a student of psychology " (she's a undergraduate) and "human rights activist" (she campaigned for a political party) amounts to tabloid coverage of someone only a tabloid would cover. To the extent that we're an encyclopedia , we should remove this. To the extent we include, we're an adjunct to a tabloid that pretends to be called an encyclopedia. Until we develop rules that someone has to have actually done something, we can accommodate this to the GNG by declaring that any source covering this nonsense is to that extent unreliable. .

  • Keep The tour articles contain lists of dates and venues, so there's no reason why venue articles shouldn't contain lists of tours and dates. Whether such lists should be in the venue article or split out due to length is an editorial one. All the events contain notable performers and should be considered major events. WP:NOTDIRECTORY is primarily concerned with directory lists as resources for conducting business, for example listing upcoming events, so I don't see it as particularly relevant here.--Pontificalibus 13:46, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural keep, pending a wider discussion on whether such lists are useful or not. I agree with the nominator that it's largely a NOTDIRECTORY violation, but Category:Lists of events by venue has lists for many other venues besides Rogers Place, and there may still be others lurking somewhere that just haven't been added there yet — and there's no valid reason to single Rogers Place's list out as uniquely unencyclopedic.

  • Delete well we do not have an article on Jason Love (well, the one who is the husband of Mia Love) or many, many other spouses of members of congress. Even in the case of Sarah Palin's husband, he was not clearly notable even after she became a candidate for Vice President, clearly not just when she was governor of Alaska. I have even come to question weather Lenore Romney is notable. Her husband was governor, cabinet member and potential contender for the presidency, she was a candidate for Senate whose defeat was in some ways a proxy rejection of the policies of her husband as Secretary of HUD, she was for a time a bit part actress, and she is the mother of a current senator, former governor who also was a major party nominee for US president. Her and George Romney's relationship gets major play in 3 biographies written of him. That is the level of coverage that almost certainly shows notability. If Mrs. Noem gets whole biographies written on her that speak deeply on her relationship with her husband, or becomes a contentder for national office, or if Bryon Noem runs for senate on his own and has a decent chance of winning, I can see him becoming notable, but not yet with one article covering his wife's igaguration.

With due respect to the victims, this doesn't seem to be a notable event, at least not yet.

Keep - A fire, reported by the international mainstream media, which killed five teenagers who were taking part in a hobby which has become popular during the past few years, appears to be notable enough for an article. The likely reason for the lack of a section about incidents on escape room is due to no tragedies having happened at such places before. Jim Michael (talk) 04:05, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Polish language article has been nominated for deletion on plwiki. I would say merge adding a section to escape room. NOTNEWS applies here.

Keep Arguably notable for being the first reported deaths in an escape room, and early reports indicate that it will lead to some significant reforms/regulations in escape room safety at least in Poland: "...From tomorrow all escape rooms, game centers and clubs will undergo fire safety inspections with special attention paid to evacuation plans, escape routes in these type of locations."[1]; "Previously, there was no official requirement for fire safety certificates at such locations."[2] Safety concerns sparked by the incident have apparently led to the closure of a number of these rooms across Poland.[3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ereb0r (talkcontribs) 01:31, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This page is no different than thousands of other college football team pages, such as this one or the program's previous season, which are similar in their coverage and notability. The problem with the types of team pages that I create, is that they are retroactive to years in the past, making it hard to add in relevant storylines and coverage. That is why, as you will commonly see in most team pages a couple of years beyond 2019, most pages do not expand beyond a brief introduction, infobox, and their results. This page should be kept because it is just another entry in the program's history. Patriotsontop (talk) 03:01, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS: So, WP:CFBTEAMS states:

Single seasons (e.g. 2005 USC Trojans football team) can be considered notable. In this case the season must receive substantial non-routine/s coverage (see WP:ROUTINE). In general, seasons that culminate in a bowl game will likely be notable. However, not all seasons by teams that participate in college football are inherently notable.

As far as this team's notability for this season, it does not meet WP:CFBTEAMS because all of the coverage was WP:ROUTINE, including the article @Markvs88: added. I think WP:CFBTEAMS is being taken out of context to create multiple articles that aren't notable. Do we really need all these articles for these seasons? If a team has a notable season then, yes it may deserve an article but not for every season. ~ Philipnelson99 (talk) 23:28, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, first off we don't WP:NEED anything. We could shut down Wikipedia and leave blankness on cyberspace. We choose to create an encyclopedia with content. "Need" is too arbitrary of a term, as that means different things to different people. Second, it looks like there is a good amount of coverage that is far beyond the sports scores and statistics--feature articles are WP:NOTROUTINE by any stretch. This simple game recap blasts that out of the water, and that's just one of the many games that season. As I stated below, it needs to be edited and researched, but there is no deadline. The threshold of notability is surpassed.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:53, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - How hard did you search? I just added the ESPN reference for SHU vs Albany, and they have the same for every game. Markvs88 (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I think what we're looking at here is a need for more research and content--which is an editing issue and not a deletion issue.--Paul McDonald (talk) 23:16, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, and here is why The editor proposing the deletion stated "as I can find no reliable secondary sources that have coverage of this specific year's team.". I legitimately asked how hard they'd looked since I found the ESPN link in approximately 12 seconds. Look, I'm all for deleting long-standing uncited articles and/or points but in this case the article was LESS ONE DAY OLD. There was no attempt by the deletion proponent at CN tagging, no discussion, just an immediate delete tag with obviously no (or at best very lazy) searching. So from my perspective we are most certainly looking at a deletion issue. Markvs88 (talk) 01:22, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With due respect to the victims, this event doesn't seem to be notable. While it is a bit early to tell, it seems that there's only routine coverage, and not every mass shooting is automatically notable. ansh666 02:44, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Don't abandon this article just keep and perhaps the police will find the identity of the shooter and his motives sooner or later. (45.50.57.253) 05:30, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

remove - motives that are later to be found are, for now, failing (wp:notability) via (wp:crystal)--2600:8800:FF0E:1200:1962:B311:16B2:F79B (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
keep - the shooting has a lot of media coverage and it is possible that by tomorrow or the day after the identity of the shooter will be found (like every shooting) and his motives will be revealed. Keep in mind as one article from Britain's The Independent has revealed the police are currently in a manhunt. We'll just have to find out who the shooter is and what motivated him tomorrow or some other day as I said before. 4:00, 6 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.50.57.253 (talk)
Define "a lot" - how so? It made the news as it was an event that is normally covered, but already it has faded far into the background. This is just drug/gang violence of no import or significance and Wiki does not keep articles of routine news stories. Delete!50.111.13.35 (talk) 16:58, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - a mass shooting with an unknown motive, at a bowling alley, reported by the international mainstream media. Jim Michael (talk) 04:24, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. With no motive known, this doesn't rate an article; there are just too many mass shootings, unfortunately. Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:41, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except that news and police sources haven't yet identified suspects or cause. People, please bring sources, not unsupported opinions.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:05, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - This is tragic but it falls under WP:NOTNEWS and WP:DELAY. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:08, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a major mass shooting, if not an obvious terrorist attack. If there was a political motive, they are trying to hide it. One wonders why so many editors are quick to call for the deletion of such major crime which is the equal of a terrorist attack in violence Bachcell (talk) 23:10, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The terrorism mention is pure speculation. It's not unlike other mass shootings in the US in its violence (see List of mass shootings in the United States in 2018 and List of mass shootings in the United States in 2019). GorillaWarfare (talk) 23:12, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I want to make it clear that there is still an ongoing investigation and the police are going out of their way to find who did the shooting so like what one user said editors should hold off from deleting or editing the article. 24:15 6 January 2019 (UTC)
  • DeleteRAPID also works in that it urges editors to wait before creating such an article like this. NOTNEWS—a core policy—urges the same thing. Bachcell’s misguided, POV remark just exemplifies one part of why Wikipedia is not a mirror of the news and why these types of articles must be deleted.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:10, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What does this mass shooting lack to qualify it to be notable? Jim Michael (talk) 09:54, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What does this have that raises it above the other 2 that happened on the same day according to the List of mass shootings in the United States in 2019? Or earlier in 2019 or in the majority of entries in the 2018 equivalent?
Every mass shooting is notable enough to include in that list, and should not be deleted as "routine" or "not notable" or "not news". This terrorist style incident is also included on the current events page for this date. It is notable there are so many editors who believe "this type of article must be deleted" are found when other editors want to read about topics like crimes with no apparent political motive, deadly accidents with no apparent cause, and terrorist attacks Bachcell (talk) 13:25, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no dispute about listing it on that page - the dispute is whether it is sufficiently more notable to justify a standalone article about something that little is known about. Most of what has been written about it other than the basic facts is speculation. If you want to read about current criminal investigations the best place for that is a newspaper not an encyclopaedia noq (talk) 14:47, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in mind that the police are continuing their investigation of who started the shooting and the motive for the brawl. So sooner or later they're going to find out. 15:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:A44D:9200:1459:CF30:1EC7:39B7 (talk)
Just so. Which is why we should wait until this info comes out. When suspects, sequence of events, motives are described by official sources, the quesiton of notability will probably also be clear.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:09, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This would be a significant event in most countries' context. Not a gang/drug related shooting accordingly to what's been reported so far. "We've never had an incident like this in the city of Torrance" - Torrance Police Chief. If in 30 days the context indicates it should be deleted the question could be revisited.--Brian Dell (talk) 06:15, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is not in most countries context but that of the US. According to the List of mass shootings in the United States in 2018 article, there were 323 mass shooting incidents in the US last year, an average of nearly 30 a month. Rather than creating news articles in Wikipedia and then deciding at some future point in the future whether they are notable, why not create them in Wikinews instead. All the keep arguments I have seen so far seem to be related to news value and not encyclopaedic notability. noq (talk) 11:53, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly I have to agree with Noq, this falls under WP:ROUTINE coverage. You are going to have to show how this shooting stands out from the hundreds of others. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete incident began as a fight, ex-con on parole was arrested, it all looks tragically ROUTINE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:02, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have been helping to maintain the List of mass shootings in the United States and the 2018- and 2019-specific articles. I have to agree that this shooting does not really differentiate itself from the hundreds of mass shootings that occur yearly in the United States, and that although it's received some news coverage it is really not notable enough for Wikipedia. GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not a terrorism incident, seemingly neither random or premeditated. Just another day in US where guns settle arguments. WWGB (talk) 06:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
