I don't this article pass WP:GNG. Most of the links are to shops selling the product and a few recipes.

Unfortunately, there are no guidelines for food notability. Using the WP:GNG, I think this article fails to be notable due to the lack of discussion of the food item. Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 22:58, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. Based on the sources that I was able to find, I'd say this is hovering around the borderline of notability, and I'm going to lean towards keep because of systemic bias against topics pertaining to non-Anglophone areas. Recipes for tembleque are extremely common; I'm not going to try to link to all of them, but there are dozens out there. As well as the two linked in the article, there's one from NYT, for instance (that article/recipe also mentions a book "Coconuts and Collards" by Von Diaz, which seems like a likely candidate for further sourcing, but I don't have access to a copy, unfortunately). I also found an article about its health benefits, though I'm not sure I trust the source to be reliable. It's also mentioned on the official website of the Puerto Rico tourist board, where it's one of six foods mentioned in the first paragraph as being traditional favourites on the island, as well as in other travel guides. Overall, I'm finding a great breadth of coverage, but not a whole lot of depth, but am leaning keep because of potential systemic bias. In the event that this isn't kept, it should at the very least be a redirect to Puerto Rican cuisine. Lowercaserho (talk) 14:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been around the current state from around 2010.
Also, WP:ITEXISTS is a really crappy argument. And you can easily dratify it suitably establish notability. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 18:29, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I notice that this article says that the Brazilian name for the dish is manjar branco, and that article states that manjar branco is identical to the Puerto Rican dish tembleque. Can anyone confirm if that is, in fact, true? If so, would it be proper to merge the two articles, so that we don't have two different articles on identical topics, just in different languages? I am actually not sure what the official Wikipedia policy is in cases like this. Rorshacma (talk) 21:29, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They're different. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manjar_blanco#Puerto_Rico --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 16:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep - this dessert is a traditional holiday food, included in Juvenile books for use in American schools, when encouraging the children to learn about cultures from around the world. (See ref for "Salsa stories", which I added). Of course it appears in recipe books. Also, note all the desserts from around the world on Wikipedia, for example: Hakuto jelly--The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 15:46, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. In its current state the article is poor and inadequately referenced. However, the innumerable ghits for the Scottish butchers and shops (even posh ones like House of Bruar) who offer fruit pudding as one of their wares may not be ideal or impartial sources but amply indicate the widespread availability of the stuff. It's definitely a thing, it's a commonplace one and a distinctive inclusion in the Scottish version of the breakfast fry-up. It's not the kind of thing that would be made in the home, so unlikely to be in a recipe book (aside from ones that say "stick everything in a frying pan"). There is a tangential mention of it here in the amply reliable source, the Dictionary of the Scots Language (though bizarrely the word "slice" is misspelled in the header). The scores of butcher and shop sites may be numerous though primary but this (and other) reviews in the Scotsman is secondary coverage which notes the existence of the stuff without feeling the need to explain what it is. I've also found mention in The Herald (Haggis Brand to remain in Scotland) but via PressReader so am unsure how to copy the link. Improve the article but definitely keep it. Mutt Lunker (talk) 00:56, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Again, just mentions but from the Guardian, this and this. Mutt Lunker (talk) 01:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added several news and book references to the article now, most solidly reliable sources, one to a tabloid though. FWIW, the Herald article I referred to is here. @Uncle G:, what does your source say? @Tyw7:, are you satisfied that the GNG has been fulfilled now? Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:45, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Mutt Lunker, I think it's better. But the problem is there's no general guidelines for food. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 13:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • So you agree it now demonstrably fulfils the GNG criteria? In which case, the lack of specific guidelines for food may be an omission worth addressing but wouldn't have a bearing on this individual discussion. Ping: @Tyw7: Mutt Lunker (talk) 13:20, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Mutt Lunker, it's hard to gauge notability with such a broad topic but I had a look at a couple of sources and to me it seem they are passing mentions. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 13:54, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Question Mutt Lunker, I am trying to look through the sources, and having difficulty finding which article in The Herald refers to fruit pudding. Could you tell me the title of the article, please? I would also suggest referencing it by the article title, author, date and the name of the paper, rather than just "PressReader.com - Your favorite newspapers and magazines" (if it was you who added it - perhaps it wasn't), as PressReader is just a platform for digital copies of a variety of newspapers and magazines, some reliable, some not. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:32, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • Mentioned above, though I know that it's difficult to track, that the title is "Haggis Brand to Remain in Scotland" and that I wasn't sure how to deal with the link last night. Initially I couldn't extract a link to copy at all from PressReader; what I've added now at least links to the edition of the paper, though you need to scroll a fair bit to the right until you get to the article. The auto-generated title for the ref is not very helpful, I'll grant you. By all means improve the link and title if you can. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:05, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • Found a link to the paper itself so this is now addressed. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This dish clearly exists – see BBC, for example. The title is quite generic as there are other types of fruit pudding such as the summer fruit pudding. Perhaps this might be treated as a broad topic with this particular recipe linking to Full_breakfast#Scotland. Anyway, that's all a matter of ordinary editing and we should build on the current version rather than deleting it, per WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 13:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • These very well may not be but the references have since been augmented and consist of substantially more than places to buy it or recipes. That said, the addition of reliably sourced recipes would benefit the article; aside from lists of ingredients, I didn't come up with much in that regard. What did you find @Tyw7:? Mutt Lunker (talk) 14:12, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am looking through results for "fruit pudding" in digitised Scottish newspapers from about 1850-1960 (and a few later papers) on the British Newspaper Archive. While I have found some recipes for a fruit pudding that seems to be similar to the one described in this WP article, it is only one of many kinds of fruit pudding. Some were made with fresh fruit, some with tinned or soaked dry fruit; some had a suet crust holding the fruit (like a meat pie), some were flat with a layer of batter first, and a layer of fruit on top, which sank to the bottom during cooking; some were made of tapioca mixed with preserved fruit; some were cold with bread lining the mould, in other words, summer fruit pudding. For the fruit puddings that seem to be like this one, there are recipes with egg and without. They involved boiling the pudding in a cloth for 3 hours or steaming it in a basin for 4 hours (eggless), or steaming it in a basin for 2 hours (with egg). This may well be why this type of fruit pudding has become a commercially made product! (They don't seem to be like Christmas pudding, which of course is also boiled or steamed for a long time, and has lots of fruit in it .... will compare recipes.)

    However, as far as an encyclopaedia entry goes, these sources don't really help support an article just about one type of fruit pudding in Scotland. And the picture has the caption "Traditional Scottish Fruit Pudding", but all the sources are from the 2000s ..... I will try to look for more sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:58, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Although now I think perhaps the boiled and steamed fruit pudding recipes I found were more like Clootie dumpling - which comes up on a Google Book Search for ' "fruit pudding" Scotland' in all the Rough Guides to Scotland .....
    • You beat me to it. Sounds like you are on the track of generic fruit puddings, largely dessert ones and largely the one referred to as clootie dumpling (broadly similar to Christmas pudding and commonly made in the home) but not the one referred to as "fruit pudding". Egg wouldn't feature in this one; there's a lot of overlap in ingredients but this one is more sausage-like, rather than dessert or cake-like. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • I am just searching for "fruit pudding", which is the title of this article. The recipe titles are just "Fruit pudding" (often), or "Cold fruit pudding", "fruit pudding without eggs", "delicious fruit pudding", etc. For many years in Scotland, it seems that the term could refer to any kind of fruit pudding, which leads me to wonder how long the term has referred mainly to the kind fried for breakfast. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:34, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • That's the difficulty with a search for a term which is used both generically and specifically. I'd imagine you'd get similar results for "pie" in Scottish cookbooks but the one understood to be the default is specifically one type (what's known elsewhere as a Scotch pie). I'd hazard that few of these fruit puddings are particularly well known and that none would be widely envisaged as default fruit pudding. I can remember it as a child in the 70s, though I couldn't swear for certain as to what it was called. The reference to Alex Harvey can be referring to a date no later than 1982, though the book was written later. Mutt Lunker (talk) 16:57, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • RebeccaGreen, is the article title too vague then? --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 16:46, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • It's the name by which the item is referred. We're not talking about one of many desserts with fruit in them that could be referred to as a fruit pudding, we're talking about the thing known as "fruit pudding". Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
            • Mutt Lunker, searching for "fruit pudding scottish" only brought up links to shops. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 17:05, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
              • I'm not sure what your point is and it is evident that others have been more successful in their searching for refs, making discussion of your original unfruitful searches seem rather redundant. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
              • What I have been trying to do is look for evidence that this is a default term for this particular kind of pudding, and what I have found that many things were called "fruit pudding" in Scottish newspapers. In the historic papers, there is no mention of "fruit pudding" as part of a breakfast dish. I don't know how long it has had this meaning (if indeed it is the main current meaning). To have an article, we need sources writing about the topic - and I agree, most of the sources currently in the article are passing mentions only. They verify that it exists, and some mention some of its ingredients, but they do not constitute significant coverage. I think a WP:BROAD article may be better, unless there is evidence of significant coverage of this type of "fruit pudding". RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to this AFD discussion though, are we in agreement that deletion is not an appropriate course and that we should move to speedy keep? The aspects that the discussion has turned to can be addressed on the article talk page. Mutt Lunker (talk) 17:33, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • No, I don't think so. The only Keep arguments so far are WP:ITEXISTS, and sources which have only passing mentions of this kind of fruit pudding. If the article is expanded during the AfD to cover a WP:BROAD range of fruit puddings, with this as one type, or if someone finds significant coverage, that might be a reason to keep it. RebeccaGreen (talk) 17:39, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If it helps: ISBN 9780313327988 p.136 is a list of the components of a "full" English/Scottish/Welsh/Irish breakfast, and it calls this "fruity pudding". Uncle G (talk) 23:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. One reference stood out for me - Maw Broon's Cookbook. Maw Broon is an extremely well-known fictional Scottish cook, and that recipe is very likely to be authentic. Narky Blert (talk) 11:15, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Narky Blert, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Maw-Broons-Cookbook-Every-Special/dp/1902407458
    the book's description says "Launched in 1936 in the "Sunday Post" in Scotland, The Broons are undoubtedly Scotland's first family - the Nation's favourites - with a readership covering all generations. The Broons 'annual' sells over 100,000 copies. This is a facsimile of Maw Broon's very own cookbook, which we borrowed from the sideboard at No. 10 Glebe Street - first made for her by her mother-in-law when 'Maw' married 'Paw', and added-to over the years with recipes for every day and special days, from friends and neighbours and others that simply caught Maw's eye in "The Sunday Post", or cut-out of the backof a flour bag. These are the very recipes that became the favourite dishes of the whole extended family - Maw and Paw, Granpaw, Daphne, Horace, Joe, Maggie, Hen, the Twins and 'the bairn'.The strip itself is still hugely popular, with the "Sunday Post" having a circulation of over 1,000,000 copies every week, and there are some examples of the strip from years gone by that Maw must have clipped into her Cookbook- perhaps as reminders of special days. We've just left the 'bits and pieces' that you find tucked into a cookbook, exactly as we found them - stains and all.
    "Maw Broon's Cookbook" is published at a time when nostalgia items are extremely popular, and although obviously firm favourites in Scotland, there will be interest nationwide, with support and endorsement from celebrity names - Gordon Ramsay, Lorraine Kelly, Ewan McGregor to name a few. The BBC's Robbie Shepherd and Tom Morton will lend a hand too! There will be promotion in DC Thomson's portfolio of newspapers and magazines - including "The Sunday Post", "The Courier", "The Scots Magazine", and "The People's Friend"."
    Also, the first review says "Imaginative, clever, mock-facsimile of a Scottish family cookbook. One for both keen back to basics cooks and Broons fans." --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 11:44, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm unclear as to the intent of the post immediately above but in case there is any confusion, it is only the stated author of the book who is fictional; the book is real and the contents are highly authentic. Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. To note, the ref is to fruit pudding's inclusion in a list of items for a Scottish breakfast, as opposed to a recipe for the making of fruit pudding. That this particular book includes it does lend authority to it being a notably typical inclusion in such a breakfast Mutt Lunker (talk) 11:43, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Mutt Lunker, well the book is fictional and, in my eyes, does not lend to much credibility. For all we know, it's a parody of what a stereotypical Scot has for breakfast. --Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 12:04, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The book is not fictional, only the byline. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:23, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like a product brochure. References aren't great - mostly press releases, how-to articles, and the manufacturer's website. There are indeed books and articles about it out there, but the former are mostly how-to and the latter are reviews or press releases.

  • Keep. The article might not be great, but this is clearly notable - and has tons, and I mean tons, of third party coverage. This is the most widely available software for Forex trading, and it has a programming language on top of which people code their own (or... offer to, dare I say, gullible 3rd parties) trading robots. Existence of numerous programming guides (e.g. [1]) rather clearly indicate this is notable (heck - I've never used MT4 myself, and I still know what it is). Icewhiz (talk) 06:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The subject's noteworthiness is supported by third-party publications. For example, this article laments the widespread use and near-monopoly status of MetaTrader among Forex brokers. One of the signs of this wiki article's importance is its monthly page views count. What should be done, probably, is article improvement with better sources. Enivid (talk) 13:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is no significant media coverage for Amitov Teja (look at his wiki page for the references: they all refer to his dad Teja and the one link that refers to him is a dead link). He also hasn't acted in a main role in any movie. Fails WP:NACTOR.

Non-notable film critic. None of these sources substantiate a WP:GNG pass. Sources 1 & 5 are the same article which simply lists him as a member of the Iranian film Selection Committee, as does source 6. 2&10 are also the same source, which are references in a book that he translated and did not write. 3&8 are again the same source, which is one passing reference in an academic paper. 4 is simply a link to his own book. 7 is a mention in the credits of a TV show. And 9 is again the subject simply being listed, along with others, as being the members of an award jury for books on cinema. These basic mentions, literally not going beyond mentioning his name as part of a group in most cases, do not establish any sort of notability.

Article created by Yahadzija sock in violation of global ban and thus unambiguously eligible for speedy deletion (CSD G5). An editor has contested speedy deletion because the article "seems to meet notability criteria (sic)". Even if true--and I would argue it does not--notability is not relevant to CSD G5; content created by banned users, notable and non-notable alike, is subject to deletion per Wikipedia:Banning policy and Wikipedia:Blocking policy. The underlying philosophical premise is WP:DENY, not notability, and more long-term damage is done allowing banned users (especially Yahadzija) to trickle in content (especially non-notable minor tributaries) in this manner. Note also that prevention of enforcement of a global ban is explicitly disallowed and sanctionable by the WMF. Эlcobbola talk 19:42, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Two months ago when I first nominated this article for deletion, it was in part because of the fact it was two months early in regards to its filming start. The decision was to keep based on GNG. As of today, the film had once again been delayed indefinitely. It will be suggested that it meets the GNG which I’ll disagree with because the details around its production history just don’t bolster it well. Projects like Blood Meridian have had long stretches of planned production with ultimately no result and they don’t have a standalone article for that. The editors on the Marvel Cinematic keep those articles out of a mainspace position until such a time it warrants being there. Akira’s production history isn’t in my opinion strong enough to remain in the mainspace. On the purposes of the film being delayed I propose it either be deleted, it’s content merged into the Akira (manga)/Akira (1988 film) article or it be merged into the Draft:Akira (2021 film) to be able to be fleshed out there until such a time it’s notable enough to exist in mainspace again. Rusted AutoParts 18:59, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The fact that the GNG is still met hasn't changed because of the delay. There is history of the attempts to bring a live action version of Akira to the screen, which is not going to change at this point. I would reasonably support a merge to a potential Akira (franchise) article given that at leas two new Akira projects have also been announced, but that needs to be created first. --Masem (t) 19:08, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • For sake of the fact the winds are blowing "merge", I have created Akira (franchise) which I would request that this article, give or take a few changes, can be history merged into. (I can do that after this has closed, but I cannot take premature action on until this is closed.) --Masem (t) 19:54, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per WP:NFF, because to keep is to intentionally mislead readers into thinking a film will happen when this is not the case. A history of planning does not equate a tangible product. This is exactly what WP:NFF was written to address. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 21:09, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • We have plenty of articles on projects that never came to pass, as long as there is sufficient notable content to explain the history and reasoning why it never happened. GNG overrides NFF in this case. If all we had for this film was its announcement earlier this year, the planned start of production, and this new delay, then I would fully agree but we have 6 years of documentable history (which this article doesn't fully spell out yet, but a good amount is in there) that is highly relevant. --Masem (t) 22:28, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • The problem is the deceptive framing of this topic. Right now, Wikipedia is telling readers, hey, this is an upcoming film! We know that unless filming starts, anything can happen, like this production delay just did. There is zero telling when this will ever be filmed. Fine if there is sufficient content for a standalone article, but it shouldn't pretend to be about a film. It's history of planning for a possible film. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 02:33, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, that is easily fixed to be clear that its unclear if this will be made - I just changed the lede for that. The fact that it was just about to be produced is still a significant milestone. --Masem (t) 02:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Akira (manga), the majority of the content is about the copyright, which can easily be merged to the work itself.

  • Comment: Variety reports, "Warner Bros. has put its long-in-development 'Akira' adaptation on hold indefinitely, sources tell Variety." More reason not to pretend that a film is upcoming with a deceptive infobox and deceptive cast and crew credits as if a tangible product was going to happen with their involvement. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 04:35, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hypothetical - what if a week of filming happened and then this happened? (keeping all factors of all the past events in development in place)? Do you merge back, going against NFF? This is why GNG is the guiding factor here, not a project-speicfic guideline. --Masem (t) 04:41, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, you merge back. I’ll use the example of Gore (film), the Gore Vidal movie that was all filmed and in post starring Kevin Spacey. Once the news about Spacey’a misconduct was revealed, it was cancelled, with post-production midway done. A deletion discussion resulted in the film being redirected, as it was no longer planned on being released. NFF is utilized for the very specific film side of things because they can get cancelled all the time. Mouse Guard is another example. All cast and everything and in the month before filming was supposed to start, cancelled. What is necessary about maintaining an entire article about a film that hasn’t happened/will never happen (depending the situation) when all that info could still be accessed at a subsection in a designated redirect location? There are specific situations where a production history is so detailed it’s fine or necessary to have it be it’s own separate article, see Production of Watchmen or Production of Ben-Hur (1959 film). But this Akira film has nowhere near the same indepth production history. Rusted AutoParts 04:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        • I can see merging short coverage - as both Gore and Mouse Guard had - into relevant articles (and to that, I think it was a mistake to draft Mouse Guard, since the book series article has plenty of room for all the details for the stalled production). Films that have been given sufficient news coverage are going to be valid search terms, so removing them out of mainspace is not appropriate. Now, yes, merging may be an option, but not given the size of either the manga or anime articles. Let's imaging this was merged to Akira (franchise). The only major change in that move would be stripping out the lede, infobox, and bottom matters - the rest of the text is 100% reuseable. Which begs the question, why can't it be an article if the bulk of the text is the same? If the complaint is that the lede implies the film is still happening, that's nowhere close to a valid reason to delete because that's fixable. This is the problem, you're holding NFF as if it were a hard-edge policy, which it is not - it is subservient to the GNG which is also only a guideline with grey areas. Again, I get the point of NFF to prevent films with practically no information from having its standalone article before production starts, but that's ignoring the importance of the GNG. As to whether we will need a "Production of Akira..." article at some point, I doubt it, but that has little to do with the GNG and more with SIZE concerns.
        • (Also, as I write this, I recognize and point out that AFD should not at all be used when content is expected to be merged. Even if this were merged, we'd still keep this article as a redirect as it is a valid search term, and there's nothing that needs to be deleted in terms of contributions). --Masem (t) 05:17, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
          • The Mouse Guard draft was always where the film article was located. I created it there to flesh the article out prior to filming, however since it was cancelled it wasn’t in a place where it was in violation of a guideline because it was generated first in a draftspace. “Films that have been given sufficient news coverage are going to be valid search terms, so removing them out of mainspace is not appropriate”, I feel you’re missing the point of NFF. It applies strongly here because it’s thw film wing of GNG bad what constitutes a notable film. And the core philosophy of NFF is that a film should have begun filming to satisfy the guideline. The current article as is is just info that can be gathered at any location. It’s not like a reader looking up the project can’t be redirected to a subsection of Akira (manga) or Akira (1988 film) when they type in Akira (2021 film) or (upcoming film) or (film project). The article’s production section starts with baseline information about the franchise, and the rest is stretched out information that would fit the production section of a film that did happen or did begin filming. There’s information in it about the creator mulling a television series not relevant to the film itself, No one is being done a disservice if the article is merged elsewhere. Rusted AutoParts 06:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Just because it's identity delayed doesn't prove that it's not notable. We do have notability criteria for films but that doesn't override GNG. Masum Reza📞 08:15, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge too soon to have a stand-alone article on this film which now seems likely to not be released in 2021. As noted above, the film-rights section would be better served in an article on the franchise. power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:59, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge The rules are clear - unless principal photography has begun, the film article should not exist. - Richiekim (talk) 19:03, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • NFF is not a rule and it is subservent to GNG in any case (As the last AFD suggested). A well documented effort to make a film that has yet to reach production, and even ultimately cancelled, is still something that can stand on its own in terms of a Wikipedia article. --Masem (t) 19:54, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What? It is absolutely a rule. WP:Notability (films) is listed as a guideline. Rusted AutoParts 16:45, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Guidelines nor policy are rules (outside of things like BLP, COPYVIO, and NFC). They're meant to describe practice, not prescribe practice. --Masem (t) 16:52, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By that metric, GNG shouldn't be followed then, as that's a policy. You say describe practice as if that's a negative thing. It is not. NFF and Notability (films) as a whole is the film specific sector for GNG when it comes to that topic. NFF is the metric used when determining hen a film is on the horizon qualifies for article status, and an important facet of that is if the project is filming. NFF should not be tossed out here just because you don't see it as important. Rusted AutoParts 16:57, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
GNG is not policy either, its a guideline. That's why we use AFD to discuss within the framework of what notability is if an article should be deleted. In that framework, meeting the GNG is one way to show notability for any topic, whereas NFF is an alternate approach for films if the GNG is not met. I still totally agree with the idea that if all you can say about a film is that it has been greenlit, but no production has started, then yes, NFF is wholly applicable here (as well as the GNG) since there's not much to cover yet. But this case of a film in development hell may fail the NFF but meets the GNG, and as noted in the previous close, the GNG takes precedence here.

I know I tend to be biased on this topic but hear me out. To begin with, the four references in the article don't even mention The Mind Tree at all. It should be known that the book was allegedly written by Tito Mukhopadhyay, a low-functioning autistic individual who supposedly uses Rapid prompting method, a scientifically unproven communication technique.

In a recent deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Amy_Sequenzia_(2nd_nomination), a user made the following point:

Even a top-line source such as New York Times would be severely called into question at Reliable Source Noticeboard if the NYT published an interview or other information obtained via telepathy or channeling of dead spirits, without even commenting that the communication might be questioned, without giving any indication they even considered the issue and that they actively consider this case reliable.

Yet all the possible sources for this book that I have found do not question that method at all. For instance, the Simon and Schuster page says "Although he is severely autistic and nearly nonverbal, Tito’s ability to communicate through his extraordinary writing is astonishing." Publisher's Weekly says "the experience of reading the book together with testimony from psychiatrist Lorna Wing convinces that Tito wrote it himself." Even a journal article claims "He is the author of three books: The Mind Tree, The Gold of the Sunbeams, and How Can I Talk If My Lips Don't Move?"

If the article should stay, editors will have to find sources for this book that also question RPM, otherwise, they cannot be reliable. Ylevental (talk) 12:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I hear what you're saying about sources being reliable on matters of science. However, I think this is kind of similar to having, say, an NYT interview with an author who writes books on telepathy, where the interview doesn't mention that telepathy is clearly bunk. Sure, ideally the source /should/ question pseudoscience, but (particularly for book reviews), I don't know that it automatically makes the source unreliable for establishing notability that they go along with the premise of the book. Considering the notability of other books full of pseudoscience such as The Secret, I'm pretty sure that notability-establishing sources are not required to reject the content of the book. Gilded Snail (talk) 16:32, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article has no references. The three that were recently removed don't even mention the book, and were therefore not real references. Besides that, the article makes no assertion of notability at all. It asserts only that the book exists, which is clearly not enough. After a few minutes of Googling, I couldn't find any notable mention of the book, besides booksellers. If this article has supporters, they need to explain why it's notable.

Previously deleted by AFD in 2010. Contested PROD with no reason given. Page was created by a user with the same name as the singer of this band. This page has no referencing apart from two Facebook links to a recording studio and a member's subsequent band. A Google search for "Wired band Telford" does not yield any results about this band at all, apart from Wikipedia mirrors. Fails WP:V for these reasons. Even without references, this page makes no claim of notability about Wired that passes WP:BAND: it is light on detail about what this band actually achieved, if anything.

  • Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. Wallachia Wallonia, your PROD was declined because this has already been at AfD, as you note, and you can't use a PROD on a previous AfD nomination. Nevertheless, there is absolutely nothing to suggest this band is notable: they weren't notable in the 1990s when they existed (no radio play, no charting material, etc.), and they aren't notable now. Presumably the page was recreated by the band member as promotion for the 2015 EP reissue of the band's old material, but that EP passed by completely unnoticed as well. It speaks volumes that even using Facebook as sources, the creator can only find sources relating to two different bands, not to the subject of the article.

This article is not ready for mainspace. Ultimately I think this should move to draft space, but my attempt to DRAFTIFY was politely and firmly contested so I have self-reverted and am nominating it here. It is of questionable notability - there are no equivalent elementary school lists for other major cities that I could find. We also don't normally have articles about elementary schools as they lack notability. In fairness we do list elementary schools for smaller districts and such a list would overwhelm any separate article making it appropriate for a split as LISTN does have some leeway for lists of non-notable entries. However, that notability would assume anything close to a complete list. There are 451 primary schools in Toronto. While this list does not need to be complete with the information to be displayed in the table, to be ready for mainspace it needs more than the 13 schools (3% of total schools) present. Sending to draft (or userspace) for further development and/or restoring the redirect seems like the correct outcome at this time. Barkeep49 (talk) 03:07, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Striking my nomination in light of the table that Bradv was able to generate. It is now not an indiscriminate list and is in a shape where interested editors who add other information overtime has a strong base to build from. Thanks Bradv. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I've worked on the sister page List of secondary schools in the Toronto District School Board and thought it could use a partner. There are several pages on elementary schools in this district that may be orphans without this list. I do not agree with the argument that notability rests on how complete the list is, since wikiepdia is always evolving. I do agree that notability rests upon the content of the list which is up for debate. Ultimately, wikipedia is a collaborative process and pages cannot (and should not) be constructed by one user only in a draftspace and the mainspace is the only place for other editors to see and to edit and improve. I've started many lists like these that have went on to featured list status with collaboration that would be impossible if they were deleted like this page has. I'm glad this is up for discussion, I was frustrated that hours of work were deleted without any discussion nearly causing me to quit wikipedia altogether. Also to consider, Wikipedia is not paper WP:Paper so there is absolutely no harm in having this list, even incomplete, on wikipedia for others to improve.

Please take a look again, there now several independent and reliable sources added to the article. More will be added later. Please let me know if the CBC, or the EQAO websites are not independent or reliable, in addition to the TDSB official website.

This is clearly not "an indiscriminate collection of information" since it is limited to a distinct number of a specific class of elementary schools. I have sourced the inclusion criteria for avoidance of doubt. It is established practice in educational articles to group elementary schools, that are mostly nn, together either in a list or in the Board article to record key information about them. If this list were deleted they would have to be added to the Board page and that would make the page look unbalanced. Just Chilling (talk) 13:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Draft space I agree this page is not ready for main space. It is, frankly, crap. If editors are willing to work on and provide ALL of the information that is required to fill the columns, it could be a useful list, I suppose. However, I am dubious. Myself, I am not sure of the value of listing the testing scores. They seem to be numbers without questionable validity to represent the quality of a school. I am not sure of the purpose of a list of schools here when the school board does so itself, with maps showing their catchment areas. Alaney2k (talk) 14:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The nomination's opinion that "this article is not ready for mainspace" is fundamentally contrary to our editing policy which states that

    Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles. Even poor articles, if they can be improved, are welcome. For instance, one person may start an article with an overview of a subject or a few random facts. Another may help standardize the article's formatting, or have additional facts and figures or a graphic to add. Yet another may bring better balance to the views represented in the article, and perform fact-checking and sourcing to existing content. At any point during this process, the article may become disorganized or contain substandard writing.

This method of making a quick start on a topic is the reason that Wikipedia has its name – wiki means quick. This quick and dirty method replaced the perfectionist approach of Nupedia which was an utter failure. Our successful approach is explicitly incomplete and imperfect – that's why every page has a disclaimer; why we have concepts like stubs; and why we have templates like {{dynamic list}}. If you want to make it even clearer to readers that a page is under construction then you just put a template like {{under construction}} on it. What you don't do is delete it as that would be disruptive and bitey.
Note also that the topic certainly passes WP:LISTN because there are substantial sources which list and analyse these schools such as the Report Card on Ontario's Elementary Schools.
Andrew D. (talk) 22:41, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: There was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of educational institutions in Scarborough, Ontario about a list of schools within one big section of Toronto. There was considerable sentiment that organizing by area was not best, though the list-article was kept for the time being (I think it should be broken up now). Discussion led to thinking that there should be lists of schools grouped by school district within the city, instead (though there turns out to be complication where districts don't align with city borders). I think that listing schools by school district is what works well elsewhere in Wikipedia, and can cover the schools in Toronto, too. (Pinging Nfitz, Bearcat, and PKT who participated there.)
I presume school district lists could be organized by (or be sortable by) primary vs. secondary vs. post-secondary, and by location/area within the city. And articles about any small area within the city can mention any elementary school, say, but wikilink to its coverage within the relevant school district list. Having mention somewhere for all elementary schools, is, in practice, essential to our avoiding cycles of new article creation and deletion for scattered separate elementary schools (usually the school name should be a redirect to an {{anchor}} for its coverage within a big list). In the list-article, most elementary school mentions should be "black-links", i.e. avoid redlinks to avoid suggesting that separate articles should be created.
In that AFD it was noted there that there exists:
Here, this AFD is about a list-article for one type of school in one of the districts. It seems like a useful chunk of the total, and can be referenced from Education in Toronto article, which lists the school districts and also independent schools. It is fine in general for sublists to be split out from list-articles that are otherwise too long, and it is just an editorial decision when to split, or how. Splitting out elementary schools seems okay. It could be argued that splitting within school district by geographical area, instead, could be better, but I leave that to others. I hope that there are editors who will properly organize this stuff, including merging away the Scarborough list (which combined schools from 3 or 4 districts). --Doncram (talk) 20:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If there is to be a list of public schools, then doing it by school board is the most pragmatic way of doing it, I'd think. It's how people around here (in Ontario) would probably expect to find the information. Nfitz (talk) 03:53, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, although the list oughta be quickly developed so that it is comprehensive. A sublist of one type of school can be split out of a list-article about schools in a big district. That is just an editing decision. Merger vs. different split can be discussed at Talk page, with notice given to Talk:Toronto District School Board. It is okay that this is an incomplete list for the moment, and I like the table, but most entries should be "black-links" i.e. no link, rather than redlinks. The name of a school like Adam Beck Junior Public School (which showed as a redlink) should be redirected to its row in the table, and the mention in the table should be delinked. As I just did for that one. It required using "id=" to set an anchor in its table row. --Doncram (talk) 20:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I just merged into the table all the elementary schools of this district from the Scarborough list-article (which should be dropped soon, IMO). I think the ESL percentage and Reading, Writing, Mathematics scores columns ought to be dropped; parents considering where to buy a house they should look this stuff up somewhere reliable and regularly updated, which must be available. Add columns for relatively unchanging info such as date of establishment of school, and add a description or notes column, instead (adding to current location, size, grades covered). --Doncram (talk) 20:39, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with a priority on having a simple complete list rather than an incomplete list with incomplete ancillary data (we really don't need test scores here). I've proposed such a version on the talk page. – bradv🍁 21:02, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment / Note on process. The article has been developed quite a bit and discussed on its Talk page, and the nominator has applied strikethrough to their nomination statement. I am not sure if striking that way is most proper, because it makes the AFD hard to read, although of course the nominator is allowed to indicate they have changed their mind. But this AFD must continue, anyhow, and the nominator cannot (and did not attempt to) close the AFD, because there are outstanding !votes for "Delete" and "Draftify" from two editors. User:Ritchie333 and User:Alaney2k, do you care to change/update your !votes given developments? It is okay if they do not choose to make any update or even to reply. Unless they both change to "Keep" then this AFD should run its course and be closed regularly by an uninvolved party. Actually a week has gone by since the AFD nomination though, but there have been substantial comments up to today the 17th, so I don't know when a regular close is allowed. I !voted "Keep" above. --Doncram (talk) 03:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So in this edit I reduced the stricken out range to just the nominator's words, so no longer striking out the AFD's basic info. As the AFD is going on. And that was a day or two ago and seems to have been accepted. I guess it is okay for the nominator to strike out all their words, as it now displays; it just appears wrong to strike out the title of AFD, the links to searches, etc., at the top. --Doncram (talk) 21:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep we generally don't consider most individual elementary schools notable. Redirecting to a board, or in the case of a board with hundreds of elementary (451 apparently), list of schools, seems reasonable.

BLP is sourced to a single, three-sentence mention in a book published by "Evil Hat Productions." A standard BEFORE (JSTOR, newspapers.com, Google Books, Google News) finds no WP:RS. There is a non-RS book review [14] but this seems to be on an entirely different Prosperi and is irrelevant to establish WP:N in any case. Our policy on BLPs states that "human dignity and personal privacy be taken into account, especially in articles of ephemeral or marginal interest." Currently 25% of this article talks about this unknown gentleman being laid-off from his job. To preserve the personal privacy of a non-notable individual who does not pass the GNG, this should be deleted. Chetsford (talk) 15:50, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you look at the ″About the author″ section at the back of the book, you will find that it is the same person. There's no clue to be had there where we could go to find this person's life and works independently and reliably documented in depth. There's a clue in the coyness of that section, moreover, that they will not be. And they are not, as far as I can determine. Original research that does not pass muster for Wikipedia (I looked xem up on LinkedIn.) leads me to understand that the first sentence of this article, written in the present tense, is utterly wrong. What we have is wrong, and a biography cannot be written in accordance with our content policies. Uncle G (talk) 16:39, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Good point, I found the same LinkedIn page. If correct, this article seems to be a "creative" perspective of his actual vocation. This is definitely the problem in sourcing an entire BLP to a single fandom source.

Previously deleted CSD A7 (and, before that, as a hoax although that seems very dubious). I'm tempted to tag it CSD A7 again, but the comment about being the 'pioneer station' could be seen as a claim to notability. However, does not meet WP:ORGCRITE or WP:GNG. Very little coverage, and the only real significance is the attack on the station, but that alone hardly seems enough to establish notability especially given the paucity of coverage.

  • Delete - if CSD:A7 applied to places, I'd recommend this for that because it doesn't assert why this football field is important. As it stands, this article has no credible claim of significance anyway, and its lack of sources in a WP:BEFORE search lead me to believe this does not meet WP:GNG.

  • Delete I proposed deletion but this was contested by the creator of the article. There are no reliable sources to show this location exists, let alone is notable. As I write this, all three supposed sources lead to user-generated content sites, with at least one sourcing its information from this Wikipedia article, and another which was authored by Timothy Glykis, the author of this article. A small football field is highly unlikely to be notable and it would definitely need published, independent sources to show that it is.

  • With a little research, I found the two books this individual authored / edited on Google Books (search "Collaborative Engineering and the Internet: Linking Product Development Partners via the Web" and "Applied Innovation Master Book" on https://books.google.com). It turns out the first book was pusblished by a well-known entity (SME International - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SME_(society)). Does that mean this individual meets the WP:GNG requirements for notability? Curious about that since WP:BEFORE Section D Point 1 states "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, etc.", and WP:BEFORE Section D Point 3 states "If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination." So I'm wondering if proper due diligence was done here prior to nominating. In particular, I am confused about the statement "I can't find a single decent secondary source from my WP:BEFORE" when this information was so easily available on Google Books. Yhannot (talk) 11:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to hear you are confused. To clarify, when I said "I can't find a single decent secondary source", I was referring to being unable to find decent secondary sources. The book existing on Google is not a secondary source. The publisher having a Wikipedia article is not a secondary source. So to put your mind at rest, yes proper due diligence was done and no, finding the book on google does not mean the individual meets the requirements for notability.

The singular BIO1E event would be the controversy about Mr. Coates' age. The relevant NOPAGE target would be Longevity claims. I'm not invoking SUSTAINED, although I'll note that absolutely all coverage of this person was in the context of the age controversy, and one of the reasons for my nomination is that there is no significantly-covered information about his life besides the dispute over his age. — JFG talk 21:11, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, WP:BIO1E is not a WP:DELREASON. It's a reason to redirect/rename/merge. It clearly states that that is what it is. It's entire purpose is to avoid WP:POVFORKs and duplication by ensuring that where someone is only notable for one event, we don't have both a biographical article on them and an article covering the event, with the default being coverage of the event.

      The book notes:

      William Coates was one such piece of living trivia: at 114 years of age, the Clinton, Maryland man was known around the country as being the oldest living man in the United States. It was an unofficial title he had held for the past several years, as was mentioned in the June 2, 1999 edition of the Washington Post

      [three-paragraph quote from the Washington Post]

      Sadly, Coates passed away in February 2004. A mention of his death was made in a February 25 Associated Press story disseminated by hundreds of media outlets:

      [five-paragraph quote from the Associated Press]

      The last sentence should have set off some sort of alarm bells for both reporters and news consumers. While it was not uncommon for those in the 1800s to not have a birth certificate, it certainly was a stretch to consider someone to be the country's eldest citizen in absence of one. By early March, it was revealed that a copy of a 1930 U.S. Census form showed that Coates was listed as being eighteen years old, making him 92, not 114, at the time of his death. Yet even then, some who knew Coates remained firm in their beliefs, as shown in the March 2, 2004 edition of the Maryland Gazette:

      [one-paragraph quote from the Gazette]

      It was noted in some articles that none of Coates' relatives maintained that he was 114 years old, either. [analysis about newspapers and newscasts running the story without independent verification]

    3. Getler, Michael (2004-03-07). "Good News and Sad News". The Washington Post. Archived from the original on 2018-12-25. Retrieved 2018-12-25.

      The article notes:

      When William Coates died on Feb. 24 at the Southern Maryland Hospital Center, the story made the front page of the Metro section the next day because, the story said, at age 114, he "was believed to be America's oldest man." The story, which was relatively brief, said Coates did not have a birth certificate, which would not have been uncommon for African Americans of his generation. But it quoted the director of a Maryland senior center who had done extensive research on county centenarians as saying Coates was born June 2, 1889. The Post had mentioned Coates before in the news section when he was honored at a 1999 event called the Celebration of Centenarians sponsored by Prince George's County and two other local agencies, and in three or four other stories over the past five years. He was also mentioned in 2002 by columnist Courtland Milloy, who added that other authorities were working to authenticate his age.

      After his death, The Post set out to write a fuller story. On March 2, a front-page Metro story reported that "in a final twist to a long life that is largely shrouded in questions, U.S. Census records indicate that Coates -- who has been celebrated for his supposed advanced age in news stories and public proclamations -- was no older than 92 when he died."

      This was a much longer and more thoroughly reported story than the first effort, including references to earlier Post stories giving his age as 110 at the time. It pointed out that none of Coates's relatives had claimed he was 114 but said, rather, that they knew few details of his life. That second story appeared on the day Coates's relatives were attending his funeral at a Northeast Washington church.

      This is per Michael Getler, the "much longer and more thoroughly reported story than the first effort".

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow William Coates to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1. The fact of whether or not Coates was actually a centenarian is irrelevant to notability. There is no notability guideline either way about that attribute: the relevant test here is WP:GNG.
  2. Even minimal WP:BEFORE should have shown JFG, the previous nomination. It's only the seventh item in the page history, so there's no need to even scroll to find it. The failure to notice the previous AFD looks like strong evidence of minimal scrutiny.
  3. In the previous discussion, I rapidly found multiple examples of significant coverage. The failure of JFG to conduct similar searches is further evidence of inadequate preparation for this AFD.
  4. Much more seriously, when JFG finally spotted the previous AFD, he posted I still see no significant coverage. That was only 5 minutes after the original nomination, which is completely insufficient time to fully read the the previous discussion, let alone evaluate the evidence. It's very clear that JFG simply dismissed the previous AFD without proper consideration, and that the comment I still see no significant coverage was a deceitful misrepresentation of JFG's failure to actually look for the evidence even when it involved no greater effort than reading the page in front of him. (I say "deceitful", because the only alternative explanation is that JFG is so spectacularly stupid that they didn't spot that a lengthy discussion of a long list of reliable sources is highly relevant. And I do not for moment believe that JFG is that stupid.)
  5. Even though the previous AFD closed only 6 months ago, JFG made no effort to notify the participants in the previous AFD. That was done the following day by Cunard. The lack of notifications is a form of WP:forum-shopping.
  6. This nomination arises out of campaign by WP:LONGEVITY to remove as much as possible of Wikipedia's coverage of longevity issues. This has involved a small clique of editors steamrollering their way through the topic as a sort of counterforce to the WP:WOP's spamming of Wikipedia. The problem is that neither of these sets of POV warriors have shown any respect for en.wp's core policies. Apart from a long series of AFDs which have been so very badly-prepared that they amount to systematic deception, the WP:LONGEVITY crew have also been trying to systematically abuse WP:BIO1E by redefining the fact of longevity as a single event. See WT:WikiProject_Longevity/Archive 2#BIO1E for their outraged reaction when I challenged it.
  7. It's unsurprising that the WP:LONGEVITY tag team was quick to respond to JFG's nomination. User:Newshunter12 was also the first to reply to the previous nomination, and has a solid track record of participation in the WP:LONGEVITY tag team of editors who co-ordinate their AFD nominations and vote as bloc.
I have a rarely seen such a sustained exercise in gaming the system. How long will it be before the WP:LONGEVITY crew of POV-warriors follow the WOP/GRG crew of POV-warriors down the path to Arbcom?
In the meantime, I hope that the closer of this discussion will cling fast to WP:NOTAVOTE, and not facilitate this tag-team's efforts at forum-shopping through shoddy notifications. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 17:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not voting, and never intended to. That said, this is hardly a vast right wing conspiracy; sending articles to AfD is not at all "gaming the system", and every commenter has entirely independent agency. Unlike the GRG lackeys, all the work at the new WikiProject is done on-wiki and not pulling random people from the 110 Club and Yahoo groups. And if the article subject is so notable, why did no one bother to add in all the amazing sources above? The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 20:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A sadly predictable pile of pile of straw men from @The Blade of the Northern Lights. Here's a few of the straws:
  1. sending articles to AfD is not at all "gaming the system"
    When those AFDs are planned, co-ordinated, and tag-teamed on the basis of misrepresentations of policy,the system is very clearly being gamed
  2. Unlike the GRG lackeys
    Different tactics in your POV-pushing doesn't alter the fact the WP:LONGEVITY tag team is POV-pushing. When you eventually all end up at arbcom, good luck with he Unlike the GRG lackeys defence. You will need the luck.
  3. this is hardly a vast right wing conspiracy.
    Classic straw man. I never suggested it was right-wing or vast or a conspiracy. Just a tag team of partisan POV-pushers.
  4. And if the article subject is so notable, why did no one bother to add in all the amazing sources above?
    • Because the ratio of editors to articles is low and falling
    • Notable is a property of the topic, not of the state of the article
TBOTNL has created some handy evidence there for Arbcom, but it doesn't add anything to this discussion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:24, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Talk about chilling a discussion. Most of this doesn't belong here, so I won't clutter this AfD, but I'll say this; I highly doubt ArbCom will want any involvement at this point, what with the lack of prior DR. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 21:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also realize that, being from opposite sides of the pond, "vast right wing conspiracy" is a bit of a hyperbolic joke in American English. It was an effort at levity, not accusation. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Sigh, same arguments I made before. Notable hoaxes are notable subjects for an article. This guy's longevity claim being false is not a good reason for deletion. Can we just stop with this campaign on longevity articles? A notable subject is a notable subject, regardless of whether their claim is true or not. FOARP (talk) 19:25, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The previous nomination was posted seven months and one week ago and, in closing it as "no consensus", Michig noted that "another relist doesn't seem likely to change that". As before, the strong and convincing arguments by BrownHairedGirl and Cunard, in particular, confirm that subject's media coverage, such as it was, was nevertheless sufficient to firmly mark his entry as "keep". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 21:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep regardless of whether or not his claim was true. The sourcing on the article isn't great but a quick Google search seems to indicate he received coverage from several independent sources. Highway 89 (talk) 21:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the nom was fair game as the old AfD was closed as no consensus, but Cunard's and BHG's points in defense of retention are well made, and I tend to concur with the remarks on the state of WP:LONGEVITY, of which I am a dissenting semi-participant. At any rate, SIGCOV is present and the article should be kept. schetm (talk) 02:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Neither here nor there, but I've certainly appreciated your input there. Even when we disagree you do argue your points well, and based on your work I've definitely come around to a different view on a few articles (e.g. Swami Kalyandev, with a bit of distance from that discussion, was a misfire from me).

  • Keep Per BrownHairedGirl. 45.228.209.44 (talk) 08:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He has enough quality references to meet at least a technical pass of WP:GNG (I added two more from the Washington Post, and a lesser mention from the Wall Street Journal). There are also several books that mention the hoax (which I think it was). A hoax that lasted many years (the Washington Post first did an article in 1999 with follow-ups in 2002, and 2004), cannot really be an "event". I think the case would be interesting to a reader wanting to know the facts of what actually happened here. Britishfinance (talk) 19:08, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to highlight this: even if this hoax were thought to be a single event, the solution per WP:BIO1E would be to rename/redirect/merge to the article covering the event (so it would become William Coates longevity hoax or whatever). WP:BIO1E is not, and was never intended to be, a stand-alone WP:DELREASON. FOARP (talk) 09:15, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very good point FOARP, and even though the WP:BIO1E does say The general rule is to cover the event, not the person, given that the "person" is such a central part of the focus (i.e. mentioned in almost every ref and line), I don't see an imperative to need to rename the article to the "event".

Discussion

[edit]
@BrownHairedGirl: I'm sad to see you amalgamate this nomination with several others, just because you have a perception that the WP:LONGEVITY project is some sort of WP:CABAL. In fact, there are significant differences of opinion among "regulars" at that project, and I for one look at each article and each AfD nomination independently. Obviously, the longevity area needed a lot of cleanup work to bring it in line with current Wikipedian standards of coverage. After about a year of diligent work and numerous discussions, where hundreds of editors made their voices heard, we are getting to a rather stable state of affairs, and most of the longstanding disputes in this topic area have been settled by RfC. There is still work to do, and your input is naturally welcome.
On this particular nomination:
  • I truly was not aware of the previous AfD, to which I had not participated; I noticed it after my new nomination was saved by Twinkle's XfD tool, and it turned out to be a re-nomination.
  • I looked at the arguments presented in the first AfD, and indeed 5 minutes were enough to ascertain that none of the sources presented six months ago in support of keeping the article had made their way into the text. I do consider AfDs as an important tool to raise awareness about bad articles, and a catalyst to improve them when possible; I rejoice when an article is saved by an AfD, even when I initially support deletion. I did not see any improvement on this article, and from the scant details available in RS, I do not see how it could be improved beyond rehashing the aforementioned age controversy.
  • While there was indeed enough RS coverage of this age dispute, the central subject matter (the dispute, not the person) would be better handled at Longevity claims, where it could be compared to similar historical cases of confusion, misunderstanding, lack of records, or deceitful claims.
  • Finally, our encyclopedia is NOT supposed to repeat everything that was ever printed in newspapers, especially not things that are unlikely to enhance the "sum of human knowledge" over time. As I wrote when opening this AfD, there is only one notable thing about Mr. Coates: This person was briefly believed to have been a supercentenarian, and that turned out to be wrong. That's the "one event" in the WP:BIO1E argument. We would not reprint a Coates story that happened in 1850, although I'm sure newspapers of the day did exhibit similar examples. This factoid was only introduced into Wikipedia because it was recently in the news.
In short, I stand firmly by this second nomination. — JFG talk 21:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JFG, when you're in a hole it's better to stop digging. But since you are digging, here goes:
  • The previous AFD was linked in the edit summary of the 6th item from the top of the history before you made this nomination. If you didn't spot it, that looks like pretty good evidence that you didn't open the page history before nomination. That's a basic WP:BEFORE failure.
  • your 5-min assessment of the first AFD was plain wrong:
    1. The question of whether the sources mentioned in the previous AFD had made their way into the article is irrelevant. Notability is a property of the topic, not of the article
    2. I do consider AfDs as an important tool to raise awareness about bad articles. Please read WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP.
  • You double down again on the fact that the claim appears to be wrong. But again, the veracity or otherwise of the claim forms no part of of the notability policy. If you disagree, please point me towards
  • I note the lack of any regret that when you became aware of the prev AFD, you made no effort to notify its participants. That makes it hard to give any credence to your claims that you weren't forum-shopping. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your assumption of bad faith is noted, and unfortunate. Regarding notability, all I'm saying is that only the age dispute was notable, however fleetingly. That's not an article about Mr. Coates, it's an article about an error in reporting who was the oldest U.S. man in 2004. Look at the state of the article when it was created at the time this story emerged.[16] I said and I repeat that this recentist anecdote is not encyclopedic. I understand that you may disagree. — JFG talk 00:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Tangential discussion about alleged hacking
The following discussion has been closed by JFG. Please do not modify it.
@JFG @The Blade of the Northern Lights I wouldn't waste your time trying to "discuss" with BHG. Do you remember last year when she came after me with the same complaints and accused me of being part of an anti-old people conspiracy and of trying to hack her account? Not a pleasant or productive use of time. She also hounded Legacypac until he exploded at her (I am sincerely sorry you got cursed at - I know how unpleasant that can be) and got indefed. It's best to just ignore trolls. And no BHG, before you complain this is further evidence of a conspiracy among editors, I'm just trying to help fellow editors use their time and patience wisely. The only conspiracy in the Longevity area is the wave of harassment and death threats editors in this topic area such as me, Blade, and more have gotten for many months. You also seem quick to criticize, BrownHairedGirl, but outside of AfD, what contributions to SC longevity articles have you been making in the past year? The above two editors and I have all made quite a few. Newshunter12 (talk) 02:23, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rubbish, @Newshunter12.
  1. I did not accuse you of trying to hack my account. That is a lie you have made before. Please stop telling lies.
  2. I did not "hound" Legacypac. That's a malicious allegation.
  3. Your contributions to AFDs and CFDs on Longevity topics were shockingly fact-averse, and esp a CFD you displayed overt hostility to retaining proper categorisation of the topics concerned.
--BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:49, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@BrownHairedGirl(talk) Already not following my own advice...
  1. While it's true you said it in such a way as to maintain plausible deniability, the implication was clear that you were saying you thought I tried to hack your account and another editor thereafter repeated on EENG's talk page that allegation against me.
  2. I did not say you did anything wrong in regards to Legacypac, but it's my understanding you both clashed repeatedly for months before he was indefed. Is that correct? It seems fair to call that hounding, whether it be righteous corrections on your part or not.
  3. At the CFDs in question, I was new to that, and after you explained why my votes were misguided and counter-productive to the encyclopedia, I apologized to you and changed them all, and made an effort to get on with you. Later, my good will withered when you repeatedly accused me and others of bad faith, conspiracies, hacking, and your excessive levels of pinging and threats that we will all get banned. Funny you always leave the positive part out of the CFD story and how it was I who introduced you to WP:LONGEVITY in that conversation!
  4. You conveniently don't want to talk about the fact that I and others do a lot for SC longevity pages outside of AfD, but you don't.
  5. You don't seem to want to edit constructively with me - I expressed sympathy with you over the verbal abuse you suffered, but not a peep from you over the verbal, sexual, and death threats directed at me by people who want me off Wikipedia and the topic of longevity. I wish we could get past these disagreements, but that doesn't appear to be what you want.
--Newshunter12 (talk) 03:25, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nice try, Newshunter.
At 02:23 you wrote She also hounded Legacypac. Then at 03:25 you wrote I did not say you did anything wrong in regards to Legacypac.
Make up your mind.
As to the hacking thing, I don't recall where the thread was now, but I recall very clearly what happened. Someone, possibly you, mentioned the possibility that my account had been hacked. I responded my noting truthfully that i had just received the first ever notice of an attempted hack of my account, and that the coincidence of the suggestion and the actual attempt was very odd.
You are now trying to cast this as if i had popped up out of nowhere and started pointing a finger at you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 03:53, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are taking the latter quote out of context but I agree, I wasn't trying to send friendly vibes. As far as the hacking stuff goes, that discussion was actually in the first AfD for this very article. You said: no my account was not hacked. But it's a curious coincidence that you have suggested the possibility only 24 hours after the first ever logged attempt to hack it. You wrote that after I made a sarcastic quip about your account being hacked as the source of some stuff you wrote. The same day another editor wrote here: Newshunter12 probably tried hack her account recently.
This renewed discussion on an AfD for the same article is another curious coincidence. It really serves to put what happened in perspective. You say you didn't mean to imply I was involved, so I accept you at your word. I am sorry BrownHairedGirl for believing and repeating now and last year that you made that allegation against me. But can you please see from my perspective how your statement could be interpreted and came out of nowhere to me after a little joke and then someone else started repeating what I felt to be this false claim against me? Newshunter12 (talk) 05:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Newshunter12, I am sorry, but your comments quote accurately, but then repeatedly attribute to me words and meanings which are crucially different to what I actually said.
I have not alleged that you are part of any conspiracy against me, and I am not "harassing you".

Hmm. A notification this morning: "There have been multiple failed attempts to log in to your account from a new device. Please make sure your account has a strong password."

@BrownHairedGirl I don't know anything about that. I thought you wanted this discussion to be over with?

This AFD probably isn't the right place to have this discussion. However, the WP:CABAL impression is pretty easy to understand given the present state of the WP:LONGEVITY talk page. It's overwhelmingly given over to article deletion, merging, and reduction in lists. Then there's the repetition of talking points already dismissed by consensus (e.g., WP:BIO1E can apply to someone's entire life and is a valid WP:DELREASON, suspicious longevity claims which are nevertheless supported by WP:SIGCOV in multiple WP:RS can be deleted) which smells of a local consensus being maintained even after exposure to the wider community has dismissed it.

Subject does not meet WP:NHOCKEY. Only played 1 game in the AHL and 95 games in the DEL, 104 games short of meeting #2. Playing in ECHL and the 2nd Bundesliga/DEL 2 only achieves notability for preeminent honours (#3) but the subject does not have any.

Does not attempt to establish why the subject is important. Does not satisfy WP:NSOFTWARE. Its 3 sources do not classify as reliable, as per WP:SCHOLARSHIP, "Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence."

  • Thanks Everyday I learn something new on Wikipedia, today I learned that "Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence.", I started writing this article while considering that it's subject is notable based on these master thesis, I'm sorry Charmk (talk) 08:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Close as a premature AfD, without prejudice to re-opening it in the future.
I'd be happy to see academic theses used as sources (after all, look at REST and CSS) provided that they are both credible as sources (i.e. competent work from a competent establishment, with appropriate levels of supervision and peer review) and also that they have something towards "significant scholarly influence". Now I don't require them to be Einstein's 1905 papers. I don't even need them to meet the influencing standards of REST or CSS. They should be adequate to source and WP:Verify what they're being used to cite, we don't need anything more than that.
They're also an irrelevance. The problems with this article are because it fails CSD §A7 – there is no article here. There is nothing in this article of any encyclopedic significance. There is no content, just a bullet-point list which is so trivial that it looks like marketing copy from a 1980s Byte article. We learn nothing about Envision, we learn nothing as to why yet another IDE is worth recording, why Envision was created, what it might do beyond that which every IDE does. We don't even have these five sources (which ought to add up to something!) used here, they're just listed without inline citations. The article is empty and worthless.
That said, AfDing an article that was created from scratch less than an hour ago is not good practice for AfDing. There is no need for that (we have to have some patience!) and if an article was so bad that it needed to be deleted for hygiene reasons, we have CSD for that. This could, and should, have been created differently. Create it as a draft (in draftspace, userspace, offline or whatever) and only move it to mainspace when it can at least pass CSD §A7. Or else don't AfD it after an hour, watch it and give it a few days to see if the draft at least gets finished, then judge. As such, this AfD should be closed.
Maybe drafting this would be best. Or at least finish it (AfD will do nothing for some days, so there's a chance). The article as is shouldn't be here in a week (I'll CSD it myself). It needs to be either better, or gone, or out of mainspace until it is. But AfDs after an hour are just wrong. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Andy Dingley: Thanks I will take on board what you're saying about haste. FYI, my guide to this process is the NPP flowchart, which does not mention waiting, and says to use A7 only in the case of "Is the article a person, individual animal, non-educational organisation, or organised event?", and which thus led me to AfD; though I did first try to give it a chance by draftifying. -Lopifalko (talk) 10:07, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment'. I do not think draftifying will help, as there does seem to be enough for an article. we need material from other than the author of the program. Master's theses, fwiw, are a very different thing from Ph.D theses--even from a school as important as ETH-. They usually amount to expanded class projects. But A7 would not apply, neither to the draft or the article. A7 includes organizations, but not products, or software. There have been various discussions of this over the years, and the reason remains: this is something that no single admin should attempt to judge.That's why we're here at afd DGG ( talk ) 21:10, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, no justification for TNT is provided. wp:TNT is an essay basically calling for violation of Wikipedia policy, in that Bearian is implicitly acknowledging validity of the topic, and yet calling for deletion of edit history for no reason presenting, causing grief unnecessarily and violating our contract about preserving recognition for contributors under our license.

  • Keep (was "Keep", then "Comment", then back). It does seem misplaced, and it would better be moved to Michael Patnam or MichaelPatnam (both currently redlinks). The church can be covered in an article about the village, and villages are basically notable as populated places. While it doesn't seem right to present/cover the village in article titled to be about the church. We are obligated to look for alternatives to deletion, and Keeping this with suggestion/admonition to Move it complies with wp:ATD. --Doncram (talk) 00:12, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A "Move" vote should be interpreted as "Keep" but with recommendation the article should probably be moved to a specific target or a wp:RM should take place.

The current article states that the district level of Michael Patnam is a Panchayati raj. Vempathur (currently a redlink), might be the next higher level?

  • Keep as Nom states, page needs improvement. However, I ran a WP:BEFORE and in a proquest news archive search I can see book reviews and coverage going back to the publication of his first book in the 1990s. Added two book reviews and a NYTimes article stating that one of his books sold 300,000 copied.

  • Comment. Thanks but I still don’t think this passes WP:ANYBIO. The NYT source is a passing reference consisting of one sentence. The CNN source is likewise a passing ref consisting of a one-sentence quote. The last two refs you’ve added don’t have links so I can’t see them, but suspiciously they have identical titles. When I search for that title I turn up a third piece in the NY Daily News also headed “Want to be your own contractor? First read this“. From which I conclude this is most likely just a recycling of launch PR. My conclusion is still that while some of his books may be notable, he isn’t. Mccapra (talk) 06:50, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's not totally surprising that a company that seems to have stopped trading in 1981 wouldn't have much about them online, and it may be that there are better offline sources, but I agree with the nominator that I can't find anything to hang notability on. That said, I'd argue in this case for a redirect to Arduin as a good WP:ATD and a potentially useful redirect, without prejudice to recreating the independent article in future if any decent sources can be found. Hugsyrup (talk) 10:05, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not entirely sold on the argument that long-defunct companies don't have online sources as notable defunct companies tend to continue to generate contemporary coverage if they were notable during the era when they were in business (e.g. Aeroamerica, defunct in 1982; Dutch East India Company, defunct in 1799). Plus, newspapers.com indexes 12,100 newspapers from a pre-online era and the subject appeared nowhere in any of them. That said, while Arduin may itself be a reasonable target for deletion, I don't in principal have an issue with turning this into a redirect there instead of deleting totally.

@DGG: That's a rationale that doesn't seem to have any basis in policy. Either there are sources to justify notability or there aren't. Who the company's clients are has no bearing. SmartSE (talk) 09:58, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The most fundament of all policies is that we are an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia should contain material that people might reasonably look for in an encyclopedia. The relevant specific policy is NOT INDISCRIMINATE. The notability guideline is one way of showing that, and the usual way, but it's not the only way. Size or dominance, though not a written guideline, has been accepted for organizations in many but of course not all AfDs. WP:N is not policy, and many efforts to elevate it to that status have failed, because we need thef flexibility. DGG ( talk ) 17:44, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, and that's why we have *guidelines* to assist every editor in evaluating notability of various topics. Nowhere in WP:NCORP (the relevant guidelines for organizations/companies) does it even mention that "size or dominance" should even be considered as a criteria. The first line of WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE refers editors to the WP:N guideline so guidelines are important - just that they don't trump policy. I'm afraid I do not understand how you are applying policy to support your !vote in response to a question on sources. The policy states "To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia" which could be interpreted as a direct contradiction of your position. From the same policy, we also have WP:NOTYELLOW which points out that articles are not "simple listings". Anyway DGG, we have disagreed in the past but I can normally understand (and even eventually agree with) the (very good) points you make in relation to scarcity of sources due to the age of some companies, the difficulty of sourcing sources that may exist solely in print or in other languages/countries, etc. I'm just not convinced in the slightest by the argument you've made here. HighKing++ 17:18, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I assume I was mentioned by name because a further comment was wanted.
Looking around WP as new articles come in, I notice we have articles on all significant government departments and military units, even though 90% of the time we have only reliable, but not independent sources. This is because we need to give people the information to put world events in context, by providing plain description of the basic background. Companies such as this, doings what they ado,are essentially ousourced government departments. If you really don't understand their importance in the world, you need to do some reading elsewhere than on WP. Generally, we have trouble covering them, because of the lake of even basic reliable sourcing. When we can document them, even to the extent that this article does, we should.
Since we make the rules, we say how they are applied. I -- or anyone experienced here -- can take the detailed wording of policy & guidelines and and, for most articles, argue for keep or delete, interpreting the wording to get the conclusion I want. It's a game, rather like college debating. WP has enough divergent rules to make it a complex game, and there are many people here who see these afd discussions as a good place to play it. I spent two years learning how to do it, and after that, got bored with it. Since we can find rules to make a decision on the intuitive basis of what we think WP should be like, that's what I directly aruge for.
I started here as an inclusionist, and with the rise of promotionalism, switched to being deletionist in many fields, as the best way to keep out advertising because for promotionalism is more apt to be present for the less notable subjects. It's no longer necessary to do it this indirect way, because we have advanced to the stage of recognizing promotionalism for what it is, and directly removing it. I think the arguement for deleting an article has to show why it would actually harm WP to have it. Including advertising absolutely harms the encyclopedia , because if we not NPOV, we're not an encyclopedia in the first place. Including relatively minor material does not harm, because an encyclopedia can be of wider or narrower coverage and still be a good encyclopedia. Including completely trivial material however does, for it gives an impression that we're not serious. If you think this organization is trivial, deletion would be appropriate. DGG ( talk ) 00:30, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the explanation and I believe I understand your position. I would argue that if I (and other editors) were to adopt your position, we would end up arguing over which companies are "essentially outsourced government departments" and which ones are merely promoting themselves as such and (over time) probably end up with something very close to our current guidelines. Apologies - I should probably have asked at your Talk page rather than here but thank you again for responding in detail. HighKing++ 18:09, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Acting as a sub page of Navman for a series of navigators marketed in the early noughties. Not significantly notable in its own right, majority of usable info can be used on parent page. Page appears to be more of an advert on how to modify such a system. Nightfury 14:56, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of U.S. DoD aircraft designations

Difficult to read and unreferenced table of US aircraft with their designations. If anything, this could be redirected to another page discussing US aircraft designations, like United States Department of Defense aerospace vehicle designation, but I think a delete is the best option here. As it exists, this doesn't really qualify as a "list", but as an underexplained table. Natg 19 (talk) 01:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Mhveinvp Kautilya3 The issue is that in the provided sources, which are all routine coverage, the party is only subject to passing mentions in the articles listed, and not even mentioned directly in a few of the sources. If it's a recently started party, as you claim, then perhaps it is WP:TOOSOON for an article. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)
    • The two sources I have provided above do represent significant coverage as needed for WP:GNG. It is clear that this party represents a significant development in Jammu and Kashmir as practically every national newspaper has covered them. Some of the press has also carried out detailed analyses of their agenda.[1][2] The party is set to contest the next Assembly elections and frankly it is silly to quibble over whether its page should exist or not.
