The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. It was borderline for me, but more familiar users have made good points. (non-admin closure) Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 15:41, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Close to, but does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN. Won only age division in minor contests, and unsourced claim of one CD on a label, which doesn't satisfy notability requirements.

In my eyes, according to the rules outlined in Wikipedia:Notability (music), Wildschut is notable in two ways:
  • She won the Louis Spohr competition. This is an international competition, which in itself makes it a pretty major event for violinists.
  • She appeared on national television several times. NTR Podium did a documentary called Noa11 about her in 2012. The entire thing is about 30 minutes and already linked as a source (13:13 to 43:20). 6 years later they did another 70 minute documentary called "A Family Quartet" featuring Wildschut. Because of this documentary she appeared in the popular talkshow De Wereld Draait Door (recording) for about 13 minutes. The "Avond van de filmmuziek" concert, where she was the solist for Shindlers List has been broadcasted in its entirety on Nederland 1.
Sumurai8 (talk) 06:59, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I'd argue she does meet WP:MUSICBIO criteria 9. Yes, her win was in an age category not outright, but the competition is only for young violinists, and has only three categories, so I'm not sure that reduces the significance of the achievement. Is the competition 'major'? Hard to say, but it has been around for over 20 years and awards fairly substantial prize money, so I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. On top of that, there is no shortage of mentions in news sources although a Dutch speaker could probably give more guidance on how reliable the sources are and how in-depth the coverage is. Overall it's a keep for me though. Hugsyrup (talk) 14:43, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. I find the arguments of the keepers more persuasive than those of the deleters. In any case, this is an instance where the broader interest of the encyclopaedia should have a bearing and deletion would lose important encyclopedic information. This close is without prejudice to a repurposing of the article as a future editorial action. Just Chilling (talk) 22:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This article should be kept as it meets the Wikipedia notability guidelines buoyed by detailed references from top news sites like the BBC,Independent, Quartz,CNN, Ghanaweb among others (credible references) . He wasn't just a subject of a viral video as claimed by the the speedy deletion 'norminator' Hé came into the limelight for his innovative approach in teaching ICT which went global courting the attention of not less than 15 media houses both locally and abroad and got technology giants like Microsoft and other individuals traveling to Ghana to improve ICT education in the while being touted as an epitome of a selfless teacher and inspiration for teachers worldwide. Pambelle12 (talk) 22:32, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment ​Literally every single reference cited here only mentions the video he made, and don't focus on him solely. While I don't doubt the subject is "selfless", or a "inspiration", Wikipedia doesn't care about that, we care if a subject is notable, which this one evidently isn't. TheAwesomeHwyh 00:14, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This article deserves to be on Wikipedia as it follows the notability guide considering the references supporting it which are from independent credible sources.Benebiankie (talk) 07:27, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. Viral video does not mean notability. I am also questioning the two users above.

  • Delete Per nom. TheAwesomeHwyh 00:07, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep for the media attention. BLP1E does apply, but is only actionable when there is a separate article about the one event to redirect to, and there isn't one in this case. More specifically, in WP:1E: "when an individual plays a major role in a minor event ... it is not generally appropriate to have an article on both the person and the event. Generally in this case, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident ... the article about the event may be most appropriately named for the person involved." No prejudice against refactoring the article to be about the event rather than the person, per BLP1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:36, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nomination. Viral video does not mean notability. also the article should be about the event rather than the person. --SalmanZ (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is the only article we have about what is a major event. It needs to be beefed up, possibly refocused, and might need retitling, but the key fact in this article is that the posted photos have highlighted the inherent bias in the Ghanaian education system that requires students to pass a national-level test that includes being able to identify and assemble computer components without ever seeing such equipment in order to progress to higher education, and the publicity related to the posting and reposting of the images has initiated a national discussion about education quality and funding. (All of this is taken from the sources for this article.) While people who are surrounded by computers every day may think "yeah, yeah, another viral video", this is in fact a big deal from the perspective of education in Africa.

  • Keep Per Riskier, the event and subject feature in WP:SIGCOV pieces from WP:RS/P around the world, including Daily Telegraph and CNN; clearly there is more to this event regarding education in Ghana that can be developed. Per David Eppstein, WP:ONEEVENT says If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate; but also goes on to say The general rule is to cover the event, not the person, and thus article could be re-named as the event; however, as Richard is featured in everything on the event, re-naming it is not an imperitive (e.g. he is now appearing at global conferences covered by WP:RS such as this Jarkata Post).

The result was merge to St. Louis Cardinals minor league players. Clearly deletion is off the agenda and opinion is split between 'keep' and 'merge'. I am unconvinced that a further relist would clarify matters sufficiently to justify the relist. Looking at the 'keeps' I am not finding them convincing and though the keeps are saying WP:GNG is met there is no explanation as to how WP:GNG is met. On balance, my view is that 'merge' best meets consensus. Just Chilling (talk) 21:26, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, although it's a very weak one, I think. You could make the argument that the 50 game suspension for a second violation of MLB's drug policy satisfies some sense of notability, as the drug issue has become more prevalent in baseball since the Mitchell Report and such lengthy suspensions aren't that common. His status as a 2nd Round draft pick might also push him up there a little, in terms of notability. StrikerforceTalk 17:05, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Jugend Rettet. There were two "keep" !votes (not counting a repeated !vote by Matthiaspaul), one "delete" (the nom), and two "merge" !votes. One of the "keep" !votes (AmericanAir88) was not really based in policy (size and cost are immaterial to determine notability). Some of the arguments of Matthiaspaul were convincingly rebutted by Widefox. Taken together, I see a majority arguing that a stand-alone article is at this point not warranted, but there obviously is consensus that at least some information needs to be preserved. A merge to the article of the parent organization therefore seems to be the best solution. Randykitty (talk) 17:48, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What size and cost, that is such a notable feature we do not even mention it, so cannot compare it to similar vessels.Slatersteven (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Jugend Rettet. There's just no notability independent of the topic, this is about the usage of the ship / events around it so a merge to suitable article is prudent. Sources are WP:PRIMARYNEWS, and we're WP:NOTNEWS . Widefox; talk 19:05, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The ship has gone under recent investigation and is notable for its rescue/controversy. Also, per Cheerio, the ship's size and cost is notable. AmericanAir88(talk) 19:18, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is not WP:NOTINHERITED from Jugend Rettet, the captain or event (which we don't have an article on), and per (the blocked sock Cheerio) the notability based on cost is curious as both this and the German article don't have a cost, the notability based on size (only 32m) is an argument to avoid per WP:BIG . Widefox; talk 16:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ignoring the fact that Cheerio has been banned as sockpuppet account, why in the world would even in theory the cost of the ship be notable? EllsworthSK (talk) 22:04, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak merge to Jugend Rettet(changed to Keep - see below). There's a lot of in-depth international coverage of the vessel [1][2][3][4][5]. I was going for Keep, but find that almost all of the coverage is connected to the seizure event, which being already covered, suggests WP:SINGLEEVENT. (This ignores any existing ship-specific notability guidelines or usages which I'm probably not aware of.) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 19:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SINGLEEVENT applies to people, not to things (like ships), however I do see your point. However, the coverage I could find is connected to sea rescue in the Mediterranean Sea, but not specifically to the seizing event on the 2 August 2017 (or consequences of it). In fact, at least three independent documentaries have been produced by reporters during guest stays on the ship at various times in 2016 and 2017. So, we have independent coverage (as far as this is possible with footage filmed live on site) and coverage of multiple events. And we have plenty of sources discussing the topic. In my opinion, this establishes independent notability of the ship as well.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The documentaries are indeed a good argument - at least two of them are largely or entirely pre-seizure. Good find. Changing to keep. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:55, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe, maybe not per WP:OTHERLANGS. Widefox; talk 16:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is helpful in that it provides a number of pre-summarized sources - but it's clear that there are plenty of these, anyway. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:32, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
After seeing the sources there, although I see a parallel with Rainbow Warrior (1955) but just a lot, lot less notable, currently, and less iconic with the movement, easily handled in the (small) orgs topic just like Sea-Watch (ship) #1 #2 (Sea-Watch 2 actually has an article, but redirect needed fixing to target it) #3. Only time will tell if the ship will be as notable as the three Rainbow Warriors, rather than the Sea-Watches which are directly related to this. Widefox; talk 17:14, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I am aware of (and have added to the article) at least three independently filmed documentaries (one filmed between 2016 and 2017 by Michele Cinque and others for the Iuventa cinema film, one filmed in 2017 by Tanja Karrasch for RP Online, and one filmed in 2017 by Carsten Behrendt for ZDF (there might be more). Depending on discipline, they would be regarded as either primary or secondary sources, in either case, they are independent of the Iuventa crew and Jugend Rettet. The two TV productions definitely do not cover the 2 August 2017 event at all, and most probably this also holds true for Cinque's film as he left the ship before (but I haven't seen that film myself yet, so I don't know if the event is covered or not). However, we have independent coverage of multiple events over a span of more than a year, that is, basically over the whole period of time the Iuventa was actually operated by Jugend Rettet.
We also have the 2018 forensic analysis by the Goldsmiths, London-based team of researchers around Charles Heller and Lorenzo Pezzani, which definitely covers the event.
This, combined with the many other sources available discussing topics around the ship (the ship itself, the various missions, the organization, some of the crew members, and various other topics related to this) I see WP:GNG fulfilled.
Additonally, while we don't have a ship-specific notability guideline, the Wikiproject typically attempts to cover ships longer than 30 m.
Per WP:PAGEDECIDE we are therefore free to decide if we want to discuss the ship in a separate article, or combine this into the Jugend Rettet article. Since the ship has a history before it became the property of Jugend Rettet (and which would not belong into the Jugend Rettet article) and probably it will have one afterwards, I find it more suitable to keep the ship-related info in a separate article.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All of which is about the actual topic Jugend Rettet with the ship a central part of it, better handled with it per PAGEDECIDE. This ship was not notable before, just a fishing vessel and even where it was built doesn't have an article (I created a redirect for it). We have two sentences about previous use, easily handled in the article. Future use is WP:CRYSTAL. There's no article size reason to split a stub and a start with this much overlap per WP:SPINOUT, readers are better served without the central part of the org's topic removed, and the org/event info duplicated, just to include two sentences of previous use.

Please read wp:n.Slatersteven (talk) 08:49, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Jugend Rettet per WP:NOTNEWS. There is not sufficient notability to the ship itself, but only to organization. Ship hasnt charted in years and just as we dont have article each of three Sea Watch ships, but only for Sea Watch organization there is simply no long-term notability that can be subscribed to this. The documentaries are not a good argument as their center-piece is organization activity, with ship being rather irrelevant. Given that Rainbow Warrior has been bombed by French special forces specifically, it doesnt hold a candle, especially in terms of notability.
Lastly, the sources of this article are atrocious. Blogspot? The crew members are not under trial and if Source 5 would be WP:RS, which it is not, it wouldnt claim it. Even if the article would be notable, which it isnt, I would be for either complete deletion or some serious re-work. Eg thereby invalidating the Italian public prosecutor's allegations. Person who added that part should go back and re-read WP:NPOV. EllsworthSK (talk) 21:59, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just another porn-related BLP without any independent reliable sourcing or any legitimate assertion of notability. Survived deletion in 2008 based on very low, now deprecated PORNBIO standards, and even though shw racked up more porn awards and nominations, she wouldn't have met the criteria in last year's version of that now-defunct guideline.

  • Keep With this many awards would assume notability within her science. Would strip the website reference secondary to WP:Promo and the weird wording of her native language. Cheerio042 (talk) 19:17, 4 July 2019 (UTC) Blocked sock. Britishfinance (talk) 09:49, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pornography is a genre of entertainment, not a science. With up to 15 nominees per category, the porn award ceremonies nominate almost everybody for something. That's why they were stripped from WP:PORNBIO years ago. As the nominator states, the awards won would not have satisfied the now-deprecated PORNBIO guideline, failing the "well-known and significant industry award" test. Putting aside the less than significant award coverage, the remaining sources are the subject's website, a promotional listing and a press release. • Gene93k (talk) 19:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The subject fails WP:ENT and WP:BASIC without the support of non-trivial coverage by independent reliable sources. The article is a won-an-award-but-the-sources-are-junk porn bio loaded up with trivia.

  • Delete Pornography creates awards as a method of PR driving, not to note actual accomplishment. As Gene93k points out our sources are a press release, a promotional listing and the subject's website. That in no way adds up to the level of reliable 3rd party secondary sources we expect for articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:46, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Appears to be known within the porn world, but even within that world it looks like there are no independent non-promotional sources writing about her - just the award notices. So, she seems to be known but not necessarily notable within the porn world. And it looks like she is largely unknown outside the walled garden of pornography. So, she might qualify for a porn wiki or encyclopedia (and I have no doubt these exist), but not for a general encyclopedia such as Wikipedia. SilkTork (talk) 09:52, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet notability guidelines for multiple reasons. The article contains three claims. One is about relation to better-known people, and we know that notability is not inherited (WP:NOTINHERITED). One is a simple biographical fact that is not notable on its own (the subject founded a company) and appears to be self promotion (WP:PROMO). And one is the fact that he was the first intern hired by Facebook, which seems to be of dubious importance. These facts are all backed up by multiple sources but the information conveyed is trivial coverage (WP:TRIVIAL) because it is coverage of the company he founded rather than biographical coverage (and the company has its own page already, Radius_(software_company)).

There is no such separate ethnic group known as “St. Thomas Anglicans”. The article begins by expressing these are St. Thomas Christians who are members of the Anglican Churches (specifically the church of South India). Members of an ethnic group that are members of other churches are not a separate ethnic group but the same people that have different church affiliations. I would recommend adding aspects of this article to the Saint Thomas Christians Wikipedia page and adding Church of South India to the list of churches St. Thomas Christians are apart of with citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thomast48 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Wgolf: Hello Wgolf, I see that you a senior editor with over 100,000 edits to your credit and I solicit your guidance and advice. You had reviewed article 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' a month ago and I believe you approved it, as I see a blue tick mark in the notification that I received for the same. I created the 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' page and took a great care to ensure that is well sourced and modeled it after the existing pages for several other Indian (ethno)religious groups.

  • Keep: There are numerous religious, ethnic and ethno-religious groups in India (too difficult to count); a distinctive feature enriching Indian demographics. Lots of them profess the same religion and belong to the same subsect and have a shared history, yet maintain separate temples, mosques and churches, while visiting others' too. Historians would testify that this phenomenon is the result of a gradual evolution, progression and synthesis in Indian society, since ancient times. From the moment a parent group split, the child groups have had a separate and independent existence and history. So is St. Thomas Christians, who belong to several ecclesiastical traditions. The history of their divisions is detailed in the 'St. Thomas Christian' page.

    As with St. Thomas Anglicans, their separate existence within the Anglican fold starts in 1836, after the synod of Mavelikara. Chronologically, this was the second split in the St. Thomas Christian community after the first major split into Catholic and Syriac Orthodox traditions. The later history of Saint Thomas Anglicans, is detailed in the Wikipedia page having the same title with ample supporting references.

    There are numerous related religious, ethnic, ethno-religious, caste and sub-caste Indian groups for which dedicated Wikipedia pages already exists.

    Mangalorean Catholics, Karwari Catholics and Goan Catholics descend from the same Konkani people, speak the same Konkani language, belong to the same Latin rite Catholic Church and yet each of them have dedicated, separate Wikipedia pages, each using the infobox ethnic group. We also have Mangalorean Protestants who are related to the above groups and members of the Church of South India, having a separate wiki page using the Infobox ethnic group. Strictly speaking none of these are separate ethnic/caste groups that existed for millennia together; each group evolved in the last few centuries from the same Konkani stock in south western India, due to Portuguese and British influence. Similarly there are several other related Indian Christian and other groups of the same descend, for whom there are dedicated Wiki pages, each using the infobox ethnic group. Coming back St. Thomas Christians, I would like to point out there are separate dedicated pages for Syro-Malabar Catholic Church and Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, whose members by and large descent from the same original stock and follow closely related Eastern Catholic rites. However it is acknowledged that the infobox is 'Christian denomination', in this case.

    Another example I wish to point out is that of Pancha-Gauda Brahmins. Each of these related Brahmin groups (Saraswat Brahmin, Gauda Brahmins, Goud Saraswat Brahmin, Kanyakubja Brahmin, Maithil Brahmin, Utkala Brahmin) have dedicated Wiki pages. Some use the infobox for Ethnic Group, some for Caste and some others does not use any.

    Saint Thomas Anglicans are Saint Thomas Christians in Anglican tradition. The page Saint Thomas Anglicans is properly referenced and contains information about the relations of British Anglicans with the Malankara Church (Oriental Orthodox) and the later history of Saint Thomas Anglicans, which is mentioned no where else. The page has also been reviewed by a senior editor Wgolf. Moreover, using the wrong infobox, is no reason to delete a page; it can be replaced with the correct one and may be removed too, as there are several Wiki pages that do not have an infobox. --Tharian7 (talk) 10:09, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Tharian7:

      Hello, I actually think this is a great article with fantastic content but I do not think “St. Thomas Anglicans” constitute as a separate ethnic group. Within the St. Thomas Christians you have Syrian Catholics and Syrian Orthodox but they still constitute as St. Thomas Christians, not two separate ethnic groups (it should be noted that these two groups after separating in the 17th century, created distinct cultures amongst themselves but they are still considered apart of the larger St. Thomas Christian tradition). In this same way, I feel that Syrian Anglicans, like Syrian Catholics and Syrian Orthodox, are not a separate ethnic group but instead apart of the St. Thomas Christian/Syrian Christians of Kerala ethnic group. By creating a separate wiki page I feel that they are being separated from the actual culture that they are apart of it. Instead of doing so, perhaps content from this page should be added to the main St. Thomas Christians wiki page. The issue is that pages such as Syro Malabar Catholic, Syro Malankara Catholic, etc are actually Churches, St. Thomas Anglicans are not a separate church nor ethnic group but instead St. Thomas Christians who have membership in Anglican Churches, again why I feel this page should be deleted and added to the main St. Thomas Christians wiki page. Using this same argument pages could be created for “St. Thomas Catholics” and “St. Thomas Orthodox” but they don’t exist for the reason that they are not separate groups but instead one ethnic group apart of the same tradition that simply have memebership in different churches. Thomast48 (talk)

      • I really do not understand how the contents of 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' page projects them as a separate ethnic group, distinct from the larger St. Thomas Christian community. There isn't even one sentence or word in the article that would explicitly or implicitly, lead any reader to that conclusion. Perhaps, someone who just glances at the infobox, without reading content would. With respect to that, I have already given several examples, where the Infobox for ethnic group was used in Wikipedia, while the content wasn't just about ethnicity but also religion, sub-sect, denomination, vernacular etc. If more examples are needed, those could be easily cited for many religious, ethnic and language groups.

        In my previous post, it was acknowledged that the pages for the closely related Syro-Malabar and Syro-Malankara Catholic denominations use the infobox for Christian denomination. Those pages are dedicated to explain the separate histories, evolution and existence of those groups of Saint Thomas Christians, who split from their parent group and joined each of those denominations. Along with that the ecclesiology of those denominations are also added, just as in the 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' page. The same is true about the Malankara Orthodox group and it is true that a 'Saint Thomas Catholic' page or a 'Saint Thomas Orthodox' page would be redundant and uncalled for, as their respective individual denominational pages would serve the same purpose.

        It is not right and proper to merge the contents of 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' with that of the 'Saint Thomas Christian' page. The Saint Thomas Christian page is about the Saint Thomas Christian community as a whole and is not dedicated to a single subgroup or denomination. Each subgroup including Saint Thomas Anglicans are briefly mentioned in it. It has been like that for years together, with links to the respective individual pages for each subgroup or their Churches, for anyone who wants to know their detailed separate history, existence, ecclesiology, denominational family etc. The detailed history of Saint Thomas Anglicans or Syrian Anglicans isn't mentioned any where else; hence a separate dedicated page is necessary and warranted.

        Perhaps one valid scenario where-in ethnic distinctives could be attributed to Saint Thomas Anglicans, would be in the context of the global Anglican Communion which has peoples of several ethnicities and languages, in its many provinces. For example Church of South India, has in it, people from various ethnic and linguistic backgrounds like Mangalorean Protestants, Telugu Christians etc. just like Marathi Anglicans and Anglican Bengali Christians of the Church of North India. All individual Wiki pages dedicated to these groups use the infobox ethnic group, as with Mangalorean Catholics, Karwari Catholics and Goan Catholics who are all Latin rite Catholics of Konkani descent. Likewise, Saint Thomas Anglicans are Anglicans of Saint Thomas Christian descent. However the purpose of using the infobox ethnic group was not to hightlight this or to project Saint Thomas Anglicans as an ethnic group distinct from Saint Thomas Christians; that should be immediately apparent to any one who reads the content. The article merely details the origin and history of Anglican Syrian Christians, as one of the many groups that splintered out of the original Saint Thomas Christian community. The infobox ethnic group was used, only because it is used widely in Wikipedia in similar articles. --Tharian7 (talk) 10:13, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Reasons for the recommendation to keep
    • Very well sourced article with ample 3rd party references.
    • Contains detailed history of the association of the Malankara Church in India with British Anglicans, mentioned no where else.
    • Contains details abut the origin, evolution and existence of Anglican Syrian Christians, mentioned no where else.
    • Anglicanism is distinct from other denominations of St. Thomas Christians. Individual Wiki pages exists for each of those denominations, detailing the separate and distinct later histories of St.Thomas Christians who joined them.
    • St Thomas Anglicans distinct from other Anglicans in India like Mangalorean Protestants and Marathi Anglicans, discussed in detail in my above posts.
    • The contents of 'Saint Thomas Anglicans' should not be merged that of the 'Saint Thomas Christian' page. The Saint Thomas Christian page is about the Saint Thomas Christian community as a whole and is not dedicated to a single subgroup or denomination.
    • If the infobox ethnic group is unsuitable for this page, it could be changed. I have cited many examples in my previous detailed posts where the same infobox was used in similar articles like Irish Catholics. Using the wrong infobox is no reason to delete an article.

  • @Tharian7: Hi friend, I do stand by my opinion that this is a great article but as I have stated I believe that the content belongs in the main St. Thomas Christians article. My reason again is simply because separate pages do not exist such as “St. Thomas Orthodox” and “St.Thoams Catholics” but instead content relating to St. Thomas Christians who became Catholics and or Orthodox simply remains on the main article because they are not separate groups/communities/identities/etc even tho they have some distinct features, I feel that this is the same for St. Thomas Christians who became Anglican. I have not responded because I have already established my position on this and I understand yours, it is simply a difference of opinion on the basis for the article itself. I’ve simply been waiting for an admin to respond.

  • Keep. The nomination makes no sense to me. The article makes no claim that STAs are an ethnic group though this seems to be what bothers the nominator. It describes, thoroughly, their evolution as a religious community. This is one of the best-written articles I’ve seen come to AfD. It’s well-researched and well-sourced. The fact that one editor thinks it ought to be merged does not seem to be good grounds for bringing it here. This should be discussed on the talk page.

Re: notability, the subject was featured in A&E's documentary series Scientology and the Aftermath, he wrote the book Scythe Tleppo: My Survival of a Cult, Abandonment, Addiction and Homelessness, and the subject attended a controversial school of which The Hollywood Reporter featured the subject. Subject meets WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. If the article could be improved upon and editors were not locked out, the article could be improved and reliable sources added. While the article may be full of POV, it can be fixed and it does not necessarily mean the subject is not notable. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 00:01, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I've seen the Rolling Stone source and it is purely a description of the show and not really of the person. I cannot find a single published review on his book. Notability does not transfer from the school to the pupil. At best, I think what you have laid out is perhaps a case to leaving it as a redirect to Leah Remini's docuseries. Sasquatch t|c 15:16, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The Rolling Stone article is a review of the film and is clearly not "purely a description of the show," as you put it. The title of the article, "Children of Scientology: Life After Growing Up in an Alleged Cult," indicates that. The article goes into great detail about children of Scientologists, including interviews and statements from the subject. Also, the subject attending the school is not the only thing covered in Rolling Stone about the subject nor are other reliable sources featuring the subject. Saying it does not make it so. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 23:00, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - My name is Aaron Smith-Levin. I was on the same Scientology & the Aftermath show that Nathan was on. After the show aired he started a YouTube channel which now has about 220,000 subscribers. After starting the YouTube channel he published a book about his time in Scientology. Because I got to know Nathan through the show, and because I have published about 15 hours of interview with him for my own YouTube channel (Growing Up In Scientology) we have stayed in touch, and I am aware that he has been mentioned many times in pieces by various notable US media outlets in relation to the scientology stuff. Examples are: Hollywood Reporter ([8]) & Rolling Stone ([9]). After the Scientology stuff, Nathan published a Dolce & Gabbana parody video of a Chinese D&G ad, and this blew up, went viral and so then Nathan got mentioned in a bunch of other press for stuff having nothing to do with Scientology. Examples are: CNN ([10]) Associated Press ([11]) HuffPo ([12]) Then, as Nathan's YouTube channel started to focus more on Chinese issues, he really started to blow up over there and has over 1 million subs on Bilibili and Weibo and I know he has been interviewed by several of the major Chinese sites, like TenCent and Weibo.

    The pieces I've seen related to scientology solely mention the fact that he was on this series. I'm not sure that's enough to pass WP:GNG as notability is not inherited between the show and subject in all cases. The parody video, while I'm sure it went viral and got some coverage, is also not enough in my eyes to make the subject notable. I don't see having a single viral video in 2019 being enough to pass WP:GNG. Sasquatch t|c 20:52, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • The point of the dialogue on this page is to determine whether Nathan is a notable person. My input provided links to articles from mainstream media to support the argument that he is. Instead of acknowledging the links as being valid evidence, you raise yet another objection not to the information itself, but to who is providing it. It would be easy to just do a Google Search for NATHAN RICH and see how much content there is of people writing about him and talking about him.

  • Weak Keep. This article seemed to have been vandalized since I last edited on it (e.g. mention of his book deleted etc.). Clearly not a strong case/definite borderline. The Rolling Stone interview is very recent (June 2019), and even though he is not the sole subject (which would have made it a stronger case), it is a large article and he features in a major section of it. He also appears as more than just a passing mention in other pieces from the Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath series (e.g. Inquisitr [13] Hollywood Reporter [14]). Even from these sources, a larger BLP article could be written about Rich's experiences in Scientology. I would think that a casual reader interested in Scientology would expect to find something about this character and his bio details. I see that he also appears in various Chinese news sites, like this: [15]. Britishfinance (talk) 11:29, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the area of Scientology watching, Nathan's work has contributed to the body of knowledge about the treatment of children in the church, a topic of increasing coverage. As Britishfinance has noted, Tony Ortega is a professional journalist (not a former church member with an ax to grind) who's been writing about Scientology for more than two decades; all Scn watchers would consider his coverage "mainstream" in this sense. I do concur with AuthorAuthor that the page does need fixing (I consider it weakly written), but that doesn't make Nathan not-notable. SJFriedl (talk) 18:04, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I took another look at this with an eye to how an outsider to the subject of Scientology-watching would look at it, mainly at how the references contribute to notability. I've been following Scientology for a long time (but was never in), so this is a space I'm familiar with. I hope formatting like this is OK:
    • Refs 1, 8 and 11 are coverage from Tony Ortega, the most-respected journalist covering Scientology; I deem them high value.
    • Ref #2 (Rolling Stone article) is likewise high value: it's not just rehashing the show, but provides original coverage of a retreat of former Scientologists and their experiences, especially about the treatment of children in the church.
    • Ref #9 is high value also because Scientology itself decided that Nathan was notable enough to create an attack site that is far more than a casual dismissal of claims.
    • Refs 3 and 4 (Inquisitr and Hollywood Reporter) articles get low weight because they seem to be rehashes of the show and don't really provide new coverage (though THR would have more weight due to its wider readership)
    • Ref #12 (Mace Kingsley) gets no weight at all because there's an actual Wikipedia page for it; this reference seems gratuitous and should be removed.
    • Ref #5 ("Aunt Julie") has no weight at all; linking to a non-famous family member provides no notability.
    • Ref #7 (Adam Carolla podcast) gets at best medium weight because it's mainstream popular media, though being a book tour interview reduces that weight some. Maybe this is low.
    • Ref #6 (Surviving Scn Radio) gets low notability weight because all those folks know each other and are not really independent sources
    • Ref #10 (link to the book) - I don't know how much a book contributes to notability. Surely some?
    • Ref #13 (Presence in China) - I don't know anything about this, but it appears to be something. SJFriedl (talk) 15:51, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete: At a glance, I'm seeing three articles from PC World (all by the same author), an article from Tom's Guide, and an article from TechRadar that are independent of Mullvad, which puts me on the fence about WP:GNG. I'm aware Tom's Guide and TechRadar are both owned by Future plc, but they seem to be editorially independent of each other. The biggest question I'm confronted with, however, is: "What does this article do that Comparison of virtual private network services doesn't or can't?"

  • "From the discussion at Retention of VPN Products this is above the keep threshold." Except 1) That was a discussion between four random people on WikiProject Computing, 2) one of those people – the person who started it and proposed the criteria – is you, and 3) the other three editors disagreed with your point, for example saying your criteria are "a somewhat bad idea" and "not going to mesh with existing notability criteria". I would hardly call TheBestVPN a reliable source, as while they're not currently partnered with Mullvad specifically, they make their money by partnering with a number of VPN providers using affiliate links, and That One Privacy Site (the source I added), while I would call it "reliable" for personal use, is questionably reliable for Wikipedia, insofar as it's a personal site. Mullvad, Azire, and Air still belong on the comparison, as they're still large VPN providers, but that doesn't necessarily mean they warrant their own separate articles. That the tables on the comparison article don't work well on mobile for you specifically (they work just fine for me) likewise doesn't mean a VPN provider warrants its own article.

The best I can tell, this is a made-up designation. I have never heard of anyone referring to these towns collectively as "North Hudson" and I cannot find any reliable source that does so either.

  • Delete After some research, the term "North Hudson" appears to be a term for the general region, possibly a colloquialism, such as the sewerage authority and the fire authority. I don't see significant coverage of the definition of the region in any of the sources, and many of the sources in the article don't even use the term, making much of the article possibly WP:OR. Happy to review any sources I may have missed. SportingFlyer T·C 03:07, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (Poor nomination ...the best I can tell,I have never heard not important). As correctly stated above, it's a common historical and contemporary term used for northern part of Hudson County, New Jersey, both officially and colloquially, (similar to Central Jersey) for example:
North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue
North Hudson County Railway
North Hudson Community Action Corporation
North Hudson Sewerage Authority
North Hudson Park
North Hudson Hospital
North Hudson Campus] of Hudson County Community College
Hudson County Schools of Technology North Hudson Center
NoHU
North Hudson Islamic Center
North Hudson Academy
etc, etc, etc Djflem (talk)
  • It's actually not a poor nomination at all - this isn't a legally defined place, and the fact that it gets used to identify businesses and a regional fire and rescue service doesn't mean that we should have an article on WP:SYNTH grounds. Many of the sources in the article are WP:SYNTH. One source used to show the population density of North Hudson, [21], supports calling the region the "Gold Coast" and doesn't use the phrase "North Hudson" at all. Another source, [22], calls it "West New York." [23] discusses North Hudson Park, but not North Hudson. There's no source I've seen yet which actually defines this place. A similar geography AfD which comes to mind is the "East Minnesota" one. SportingFlyer T·C 06:17, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
the best I can tell,I have never heard as a basis for nom make it a poor one. Please provide a definition of a legally defined place.what is a legally defined place? Please explain North Jersey, Central Jersey and South Jersey, and New York Harbor providing their proof of their "legal definitions" to back up your argument about "legal definitions". Please provide any Wikipedia policy that you can demonstrate that "legal definitions" is in anyway a criterium.Djflem (talk) 19:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously a legally defined place is its official name or at least one that the government recognizes. I don't know how else to explain it to you. That certainly is not the case here. While the examples you give are not legal names, they are in common usage and there is plenty of "non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources" to support that. I've never heard anyone use the term "North Hudson" before and you can only give one example of where a reliable source has actually used the term to describe the same thing as this article (as opposed to a fire department or hospital).--Rusf10 (talk) 22:30, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No need to explain. "Legally defined' is non-criteria, hence irrelevant, as pointed out. Government (legally) named/affiliated organization are: Hudson County Community College North Hudson Campus, Hudson County Braddcok-North Hudson Park, North Hudson Regional Council of Mayors, North Hudson Sewerage Authority, North Hudson Regional Fire and Rescue, Hudson County Schools of Technology North Hudson Center, North Hudson Community Action Corporation Djflem (talk) 23:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Legally defined" is neither non-criteria nor irrelevant at all, WP:GEOLAND holds here and this is an "informal place" and therefore must substantively pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 02:40, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete None of the uses above appears to actually define a real specific place of "North Hudson". These are all simple routine geographic indicators that they're located within the northern part of the county but do not establish that it exactly encompasses the five cities mentioned in the first sentence as an actual "collective name", other than their sharing a fire department. The Sewerage Authority does not cover the same set of cities and the CAC is all over the area, suggesting this is largely synthesis. What doesn't already duplicate Hudson County, New Jersey could be merged there. Reywas92Talk 08:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Such geographical designations are quite common – West London; Upper East Side; South Jersey, and many more. As this region has a railway and a fire service, it is obviously not "made-up" but is, in fact, reasonably official. Andrew D. (talk) 10:31, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is really just WP:SYNTH. You cannot make the argument that just because an organization (such as a fire department or hospital) is named North Hudson that means its an actual designation. Of all of your sources, only one newspaper article actually seems to refer to the towns collectively as "North Hudson" [24] which means at best this is a neologism, which is also not allowed as per WP:NOTNEO--Rusf10 (talk) 22:19, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Try this: A neologism is a relatively recent or isolated term, word, or phrase that may be in the process of entering common use, but that has not yet been fully accepted into mainstream language. But thanks for pointing out that your nominamation rationale The best I can tell, this is a made-up designation. I have never heard of anyone referring to these towns collectively as "North Hudson" and I cannot find any reliable source that does so either. is invalid. Djflem (talk) 23:04, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You obviously did not read what I wrote, I said "at best this is a neologism". So yes, it basically is made-up (see WP:SYNTH). You're going to need much more than one or two newspaper articles to prove otherwise.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:55, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I read your attempt to try to cite a non-applicable policy.Djflem (talk) 00:07, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in Wikipedia policies WP:ATD, WP:NOTPAPER, WP:PRESERVE it and further explained Wikipedia:Broad-concept article, specifically WP:DABCONGEO there is no reason for deletion of a place name of a defined region that is historical, contemporary, and defines numerous names based on geography of the place where they are located.Djflem (talk) 10:06, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't parrot the same stupid links Andrew D. always does - just because weren't not paper doesn't mean whatever the hell you want to write is immune from deletion or change – an alternative to deletion is to preserve content in a merge, and Hudson County, New Jersey already has or can contain all of this information. The key point is that sure, people call the northern part of Hudson County North Hudson, but that doesn't mean it is its own entity that needs its own geographic and historic description. Most of the sources in these sections refer to either specific towns in the area (and not necessarily the same set you've defined it as) or to Hudson County as a whole, and to combine them in this way is WP:SYNTHESIS.
For example, you have the line "and North Hudson became the 'embroidery capitol of the United States'": besides the misspelling, the Times citation refers specifically to West New York, not North Hudson. Another line says "Simultaneously middle-class and professional Cubans...re-located to the area[19]...leading to the nickname "Havana on the Hudson"." Why did you deliberately obscure the fact that your citation says "Union City is more than its old nickname, "Havana on the Hudson," suggests"? So much of this article synthesizes content that is already at the county or city articles, and while this region may be called North Hudson for the convenience of collecting several smaller cities across the Lincoln Tunnel, just as they efficiently consolidated a fire department, it's excessive to artificially integrate their "Character" and geography separately from the rest of the county when independent sources do not discuss these sections together under this name. Reywas92Talk 19:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As stated...the key point is that sure, people call the northern part of Hudson County North Hudson. Thus the name for the northern part of Hudson County is North Hudson. Agreed?Djflem (talk) 15:54, 25 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"West Hudson: A Cradle of American Soccer". homepages.sover.net. The name West Hudson refers to the western part of Hudson County, lying between the Hackensack and Passaic rivers as they flow southward toward Newark Bay. A century-and-a-half ago, the West Hudson area was all a single municipality, Harrison Township, named in 1841 for recently deceased President William Henry Harrison. In 1867, all but the built-up southwestern tip of the township seceded from Harrison and took the name of Kearny, named after local Civil War hero Gen. Phillip Kearny. In 1895, a tiny area along the Passaic River (but a crucial area to soccer history) seceded from Kearny and became the borough of East Newark, which sometimes has been mistakenly referred to as being a part of the city of Newark.
Shkolnikova, Svetlana (27 June 2018). "World Cup an obsession in soccer-loving New Jersey towns". AP NEWS. Retrieved 20 June 2019. Other towns don't have the history of Kearny, Harrison or their fellow West Hudson community of East Newark
Daniel Kleinwith guidance from Cynthia Harris and John Beekman (December 10, 2013). "The Paul F. Franco Collection(1724-1975)" (PDF). Jersey City Public Library. p. 2. Retrieved June 25, 2019. Newspaper clippings from the Hudson Dispatch's "From By-Gone Days of Old Hudson County" feature...illustrate some of the history of Jersey City, Hoboken and the North Hudson towns...Not or hardly represented in the collection are the West Hudson municipalities of East Newark, Harrison and Kearny.
Quinnoct, Bill (October 7, 1973). "East Newark Finds Its Name Confusing". East Newark, which celebrated its 75th anniversary three years ago, was established as a municipality in 1895. From Colonial days until 1710, all of West Hudson came under the jurisdiction of Newark. West Hudson, which also includes the Towns of Harrison and Kearny, then were made part of Bergen County until 1840, when Hudson County was created...All of West Hudson took the name of Harrison after President William Henry Harrison and retained that label until 1867 when the northern section of Harrison became Kearny. East Newark was part of Kearny until it moved for a separation in 1895.
  • Comment As with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Essex, (a distinct part of Essex County, New Jersey) which the Wikipedia community has overwhelmingly decided is a place, both West Hudson and North Hudson are recognizable distinct regions. To keep one and not others is inconsistent and diminishes Wikipedia's validity as a encyclopedia.

Huh?) along with others that only refer to the established towns in the region, not West Hudson, there is still just enough coverage of this name, especially in some of the technical sources, to prove that this is a place.

  • Comment The Google Scholar link in the article nicely provides a few alternative search queries, but adding up the results gives an h-index of only 13. Six papers are in the triple-digit range, but they're all collaborations, and in none is Kaelin the lead author. I'd have a hard time shaking a pass of WP:PROF#C1 out of this. Of the references currently presented, [25] and [26] are from Kaelin's employer, so they'd be fine for fleshing out content but they don't really indicate the world-at-large paying attention. The only independent source that goes into any detail about Kaelin's own role in the work is Ed Yong's piece [27]: Christopher Kaelin and Xing Xu focused on the region that Eizirik had identified ... Kaelin and Xu sequenced the gene in Kgosi, a captive king cheetah ... Kaelin got in touch with Ann van Dyk, the woman who first identified that king cheetahs were a mutant version of the regular ones. Having your work written up by Ed Yong is a nice feather in one's cap, but in this case, I'm not convinced that Kaelin himself stands out personally. Without something else, it's hard to make the case that we need an article about Kaelin himself, instead of writing about the research in the appropriate articles (on genetics, developmental biology, reaction-diffusion models, etc.). XOR'easter (talk) 14:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: XOR'easter, I started the article, and I also nominated it for deletion. I now believe that it may be WP:TOOSOON for a stand alone article on this subject. Your suggestion about inserting the research in the appropriate articles is intriguing. Lightburst (talk) 16:30, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:Too soon but time may change that. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:21, 9 July 2019 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. Kaelin's work certainly has potential and as he says himself (as quoted in the article) this could be basic research leading to cures for diseases in the future. But, unfortunately, I'm not seeing significant impact of his research in the genetics field or its potential in the medical field. He only has passing mentions in magazine articles that refer to him and his team's work. Being an expert is not sufficient to pass WP:PROF or WP:PROF#1. Also, I agree this is WP:TOOSOON for a this as a Wikipedia article. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 07:06, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per Wolfson for now. The sources found from Google all indicate that they are creating a device that is not even finished yet. Nigos (t@lk • Contribs) 11:34, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I think it meets GNG but there's a cubic ton of promotional BS hidden in that thing as well as a website they are itching to improve their SEO with on google.

  • Delete coach at a tiny school is not a notable position. Reywas92Talk 21:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep normally we keep head college football coaches, especially from that era. There was much less disparity in the levels of the programs in 1900s through 1920s. I'm not shocked that it is hard to find online sources, but there's certainly verification that the article is real.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:52, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Citation needed. Preposterous to assume automatic notability for anyone affiliated with very small programs, especially seeing we don't even have an article for either team's football programs in general. I doubt there is even much in terms of newspaper sources from that era unless you have evidence it's any more than the equivalent lack of coverage today. Reywas92Talk 19:23, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's a typical outcome. Research tends to require offline sources that lead to online archives and just takes some time, but AFD "greases the wheels" and researchers turn it up--and recent article improvements point to that. In 1900s and even 1920s, all of college football as at the "same level" (the NCAA didn't create divisions until 1956, and the NAIA wasn't formed until 1937 and only played Men's Basketball until 1952). As for the lack of team articles, hey Wikipedia is not being written in an orderly fashion. The essay WP:CFBCOACH covers a lot of the details.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:01, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I added several references regarding the subject and created sections for readability (still needs work). The subject receives more than trivial coverage or passing mention in several references. The coverage of a Coach in 1906 exists and that is quite surprising. It is however admittedly: thin. In any event the subject passes WP:GNG The subject went on to become a college instructor and administrator and then a short stint as the Head football coach of a college. The subject even has a building named after him at Shepherd College. Also went on to serve as a judge. WP:NOTTEMPORARY The subject was notable enough in his time, and once a subject is notable it is always notable. WP:NOTPAPER WP:ATD Lightburst (talk) 17:46, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, per the sourcing and improvements made to the article made since this AfD was opened. Ejgreen77 (talk) 21:09, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I am not yet convinced that every college football coach at every small college is sufficiently notable to warrant a stand-alone Wikipedia article, but I am persuaded here that Kenamond's various roles as a college dean for 24 years, state court judge for four years, and head football coach for a total of eight seasons at two colleges are enough. It is always hard to find coverage for persons whose era of significance pre-dates the Internet era (in this case by several decades), but there is some non-trivial coverage cited in the article, and I am persuaded that a search of hard copy newspaper archives for West Virginia would turn up a lot more.

Datong city re-education through labor[edit]

Datong city re-education through labor (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · city re-education through labor Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article may fail both WP:V and/or WP:NOTE. Article consists of only two sentences, of which most content was from an original edit in 2006. The re-education through labor program ended in 2013 yet is still presented here as if it is extant. There is little notability to this former prison aside from a 1980s New York Times article relating to what one can assume may be this prison, but may not be. The only source is a dead link to an Italian laogai-related website. For these reasons, I advocate for this article's deletion, since it has little to offer in terms of actual information at all, and has barely been changed, let alone updated since its creation in 2006 or the end of the re-education through labor program in 2013.

  • I've done some searching in Google News and Books for articles mentioning "劳改" and "大同市" but drawn a blank for any meaningful results. I'd normally lean keep on something like this but in the absence of any real sources (other than possibly the book "Laogai Handbook 2007-8", which does appear to exist but which I don't have access to) it seems likely this will end up with delete.
