Synchronized Football[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete. This article is a hoax. It is completely unsourced, and its title is not even in proper capitalization syntax (it should theoretically be titled "Synchronized football" rather than "Synchronized Football"), immediately raising red flags. Furthermore, searches for "synchronized football", "synchronised football", and "synchronized football" Norway all failed to yield any legitimate results/hits from a standard Google search, JSTOR database, Google Books, Google News, Google News Archives, etc. etc. that verified the existence of this supposed 'sport'. The creator of the article, "Nikkolamur", is basically a SPA; the user made only one contribution besides the creation and subsequent developing of this article-- and this one edit, made on the article Pindar, was also immediately flagged as vandalism. Additionally, the diagram that purportedly lays out how the playing field is set up, was created by Nikkolamur on the same day he created this farce. It's interesting how this went unnoticed for so long, and I have come to firmly believe that this game does not actually exist and is entirely fictional. CitizenKang414 (talk) 22:16, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Discussion page was created without the {{afd2}} template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now. @CitizenKang414: If you wish to nominate pages for deletion in the future, please follow the full instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. As for my own view, I also have found nothing on the subject online. Non-notable at best, hoax at worst. --Finngall ^talk 23:24, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I also just noticed something: On the aforementioned diagram, the SPA who created this article left the summary "I made this myself in paint" (i.e. Microsoft Paint, most likely). In other words, even the diagram demonstrating how the game allegedly works (which was, incidentally, probably added by the author just to make this bogus appear more 'legitimate' looking) would appear to be likely just the fabrication of Nikkolamur. This leads back to the inevitable conclusion that outside of the creator of this article, there is nobody who can attest to this "sport"'s existence. No further comment on that matter, but I just thought I'd throw that additional detail in. CitizenKang414 (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Obvious hoax and for the same reasons above. - Alumnum (talk) 15:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Yes, it would be one thing if "sychronized football" was just some game invented by the creator of the article & his/her friends. This would make it WP:MADEUP, and mean it should be deleted for lack of notability. However, the article actually goes one step further by explicitly stating that the sport is a very popular game among youth in Norway— as evidenced by the complete lack of any press coverage or mention whatsoever, this claim is obviously spurious, thus making it an actual hoax.

Delete - It is a thing, but a non notable thing. Used similar in training sessions myself. No coverage in RS to indicate notability. Also not sure that it is called synchronised anything. No need to have an article on every rondo or training variation type game for football. ClubOranje^T 12:33, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Yes, it may exist (or perhaps something very similar to it may exist), but it is most definitely not a popular game for youth in Norway as this article claims. Hoax. CitizenKang414 (talk) 15:50, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - popular, adjective, liked or admired by many people or by a particular person or group. Relax dude, the page will get deleted. Not because its title wasn't capitalised properly. Not because the article creator has only ever created this. Not because the article creator made the diagram. Not because it may or may not be a hoax, because containing an exaggeration or untruth doesn't make it a hoax. Not even because - somewhat unusually - the nominator's first ever registered edit (IP contrib not withstanding) and pretty much only contributions to date are this AfD. It will be deleted because the community deems it not notable. ClubOranje^T 12:22, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Patty Willis[edit]

Notability. Sources are broken or unretrievable, and even if WP:V is met for what they claim, her notability is still unclear. Many women were flying in the 1920s and 1930s - more than "couldn't get an aircraft to fly in the Derby" would be needed. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:31, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It is this Patty Willis, M. Dingley; the one who was at the 1929 Powder Puff Derby, who was in the Ninety-Nines, and is in quite a lot of history books, as well as elsewhere. In the photograph of the 1929 Derby entrants in chapter 3 of ISBN 9780875654805 (which is in the Louise McPhetridge Thaden Collection at the Smithsonian), she is the third one along, alongside Amelia Earhart and Pancho Barnes. She's in magazines as well as history books. She flew with Barnes and Bobbi Trout, as Mary Charles' co-pilot in the Women's Air Reserve tour of 1934, according to the July 1981 issue of Vintage Airplane. Yes, that Patty Willis. Uncle G (talk) 23:54, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks, that makes things a lot clearer. If only some of that had made it into the original article. I'd tried searching for her, but Willis is a common enough name and I couldn't see through the chaff. I'll withdraw this in a bit (busy right now).
  Can you possibly explain why there's no mention of her at Powder Puff Derby, when it lists all 20 competitors? Is her involvement sufficient to warrant mention? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:33, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - There were more than 20 entrants. Buffington 1964, p. 222 harvnb error: no target: CITEREFBuffington1964 (help) states that Marjorie Crawford, Patty Willis, and Mabel Waters were among those who dropped out before the race actually started. Uncle G (talk) 18:16, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sue Rubin[edit]

Article talks too much about facilitated communication. Sources claiming that facilitated communication is a valid technique are not reliable. Fails WP:RS. If reliable sources cannot be found, this page must be deleted. Ylevental (talk) 22:18, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The nom's statement is not a valid reason for deleting an article. The issue is whether the subject meets our notability guidelines. Additionally, there is an editor who is on a crusade to eradicate any "favorable" mention of facilitated communication. The issue of whether facilitated communication has any basis in science is a red herring when it comes to deleting biographies. That same editor is the one who put in the phrase "scientifically discredited" in the article. I find this user's behavior disruptive in the extreme. Unfortunately, there are some experienced editors, including at least one administrator, who seem to think all of this is acceptable. Otherwise, I would have challenged what is going on across multiple articles, but I am not quixotic.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus states that facilitated communication is psudoscience. Please do not push fringe positions. And I most certainly am on a campaign to eliminate this garbage from Wikipedia. —Wikiman2718 (talk) 23:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The sourcing is a satisfactory start, and Mr. Alexander is quite the notable subject.TH1980 (talk) 03:35, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:AVOIDVICTIM applies here. Also, all of the mainstream media sources push a fringe positions. Per WP:NFRINGE, "a fringe subject (a fringe theory, organization or aspect of a fringe theory) is considered notable enough for a dedicated article if it has been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers. References that debunk or disparage the fringe view can be adequate, as they establish the notability of the theory outside of its group of adherents." --Wikiman2718 (talk) 09:16, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Insufficient sourcing at this time to write a policy-compliant article. Deletion policy#Reasons for deletion lists #9 Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. I see no reasonable way to reasonably comply with Wikipedia's various policies until we have sourcing sufficiently addressing the communication being attributed to Benjamin Alexander. It looks like at least five policies, guidelines, and respected-essays have been cited above, and that's just the beginning of the mess. The article is intractable without more sourcing. Attempts to deal with the article have unavoidably been dragged into the territory of Original Research and Synthesis, and we can't even include ABOUTSELF in this biography. The nominally "self statements" are supplied by someone else, and there is sufficient question of their authorship that they clearly fail our reliable sourcing standards. In regards to the other available sources, note that the Reliability of any source is not absolute. Reliability is always evaluated in terms of a specific work from that publisher and in terms of the specific information being cited, in relation to the current article. 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.
If Benjamin is the author of the words attributed to him, I see no reasonable way to simultaneously comply with BLP and other policies until we have adequate sourcing about his communication. The attempts to indirectly attribute the words to him in a qualified manner are atrocious for a living biography.
If Benjamin is not the author of the words attributed to him, I see no reasonable way to simultaneously comply with BLP and other policies until we have adequate sourcing about the source of those words.

A member of the idol girl group NMB48, the subject does not meet WP:GNG and does not appear to be independently notable of the group, which means that the article should be redirected to NMB48 per WP:MUSICBIO.

Hi Lapablo. I understand your reason for nominating this article for deletion. I would like to address, however, that the company is likely not appearing from GNEWS or GBOOKS because it is mostly covered in Korean news outlets. If you see my references, they're mostly in Korean. They are also legitimate, which you can affirm yourself. To my knowledge, this is permitted as long as the articles can be translated via Google Translate. Could you also share in detail as to how this does not meet notability for companies and organizations? Thanks. User6045 (talk) 19:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)User6045[reply]

Delete It should be noted (see here) that User6045 (talk · contribs) works for the W Medical Strategy Group and was already kindly asked to refrain from creating the article himself. Add that to the notability concerns, and I believe deletion is the correct option. It is listed at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Business and economics/Companies/T-Z so if it's notable enough, it will be recreated by a neutral editor somewhere in the future. Pichpich (talk) 22:05, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Response. While it is recommended to not write an article regarding a topic an editor is affiliated with, there is no rule that states one is simply not allowed for that reason alone. I understand that my article will be under more scrutiny, but it is insufficient to make an argument that this alone is a reason for deletion. Touching upon an earlier comment regarding notability, the articles cited discuss W Medial Strategy and/or its business units as their main topics. They are not passing mentions of the company.

- That's disingenuous. First, let's be clear on that point Wikipedia:Conflict of interest states unequivocally that COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. It undermines public confidence and risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and companies being promoted.. Moreover, you were instructed not to start the article and did so nonetheless. Pichpich (talk) 22:06, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - The key word is discouraged. I want to ask: who or what instructed me to definitively NOT to start the article? Again, this reason alone is not enough for deletion. Please do not argue that my defense is disingenuous. The decision as to whether or not this article should be deleted should be based on the article itself - the text - NOT on the fact that I am affiliated with the company. I'm not saying this shouldn't be a consideration, but you are arguing this is sufficient enough to prompt deletion. User6045 (talk) 14:43, 20 June 2019 (UTC)User6045[reply]

List of LGBT rights activists in Sydney[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Overly narrowcasted list of mostly non-notable people. Each individual city on earth does not need a Wikipedia list of its own local LGBT rights activists as a separate topic from national or international lists, especially when nearly all of the names in the list are unlinked because they don't have Wikipedia articles to link to — and Sydney's activists are not some special notability case who would need special treatment that London's and New York's and San Francisco's and Toronto's activists aren't getting. And furthermore, most of the names listed here are not referenced at all, and even the ones that are referenced are mostly citing primary sources, such as photographs and local organizational newsletters and their own self-published websites about themselves, rather than reliable source coverage that would establish their notability. This is WP:LISTCRUFT, not a page that satisfies our WP:SALAT criteria for the creation of lists — Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhost for just any page you think the internet needs, and something like this would belong on a WordPress or Blogspot site rather than Wikipedia.Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A list at the country level makes more sense than for individual cities in Australia, given how manageable the volume at Category:LGBT rights activists from Australia would seem. Developing that national list first and then splitting off into subsections if necessary seems the way to go. I would also not be surprised if an article could be justified for LGBT activism in Sydney, and examples of activists noted in the prose where justified, but attempting a list of nonnotable activists in Sydney still wouldn't necessarily make sense. postdlf (talk) 14:09, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete While it could be argued that there is a degree of notability as historically Sydney was the lead city in LGBT rights in Australia, this list fails to address WP:BLP issues with solid references for every individual named and does nothing to contribute to the story.

It's clear that she meets WP:NACTOR #1, "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." She has starred or had major roles in The Second City, Termini Station, My Talk Show, Getting Along Famously, Seven Little Monsters, Little Mosque on the Prairie, Single White Spenny and Women Fully Clothed . She had a major role in a film which does not yet have a Wikipedia article, Expecting (made in Canada in 2002), for which she won Best Performance in a Feature (Female) at the 2004 Canadian Comedy Awards. She has been nominated for other awards, which I will try to find sources for. I have added many references and more information to the article - more can be done, but this is a definite Keep.

Keep. Article certainly needed improvement at the time of nomination — it was a poorly written "actor who has been in stuff, the end" stub with just one source, which was definitely failing to properly demonstrate that she passes WP:NACTOR. But in its current state, RebeccaGreen has beefed and sourced it up a lot, so it now very clearly gets over the bar...exactly as any Canadian could have told you she would, if we'd seen it before Rebecca did.

Keep I am the original PROD nominator. I actually never wanted this to go to AFD. In it's original state, the article did not show only notability. However, I couldn't be sure because if she was actually notable she's done most of her work in Canada and I'm in America.I figured that if she was actually notable, someone would either remove my PROD before it got deleted or gotten it undeleted, and then hopefully improved the quality of the article to show notability.

Is the single review all that there is? Did you did anything to find out? If so, what? An AFD nomination request is not a question requesting other people to do the work to see whether something is notable. It's an explanation of what you did to determine how deletion policy applies, and justification for an administrator pressing the delete button.
Personally, I think that Pavol Štekauer spends more time talking about Bauer's theses than the actual book (which I would use for discussion of Bauer's work in Laurie Bauer and of course in various linguistics articles where appropriate), and J.R.Hartford might be a little too shallow given that it is contemporary with the book's publication. But do you even know why I am mentioning these names? Where did you look for sources? What did you find? Answering those is how to do this properly.

Keep per WP:BEFORE and WP:NBOOK. The book was subject to multiple reviews and critiques in its time, and it made a significant contribution to scholarship. I listed a few additional sources on the article's talk page. (The book has probably also been taught in university and post-graduate programs, but I don't have syllabuses to support that assumption.) Cnilep (talk) 01:10, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep We have a notable professor writing a book published by a university press in 1983. I was confident it was notable before I even started looking and sure enough I fairly easily found a source like this and this which calls it a classic in the first sentence. This isn't even close to borderline for me. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:18, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It is a classic linguistics book and it will be expanded in the future.Ali Pirhayati (talk) 08:33, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm finding quite a bit out there about this book, but a lot of it is hidden behind paywalls that I can't access. While Google Scholar has its obvious shortcomings, I want to note that the book is shown to be cited over 3,000 times - something that gives off the impression that there's enough out there to justify its own article. Since the book was released in the 80s it's a little tough finding sourcing, but it's definitely mentioned in books like this and this. What this needs is someone who has access to these materials and is familiar with the book to come and flesh it out. I'll try to do what I can, but my ability will be fairly limited.

I've asked for help from the linguistics WP to see if someone there is familiar with the book and can build upon what I've added to the article. (Not to vote in the AfD, just to expand the article since I think that notability has pretty much been established.) I've done about what I can with what I can find in paywall previews and the like.

Comment The article claims the subject was a former national football player. There is a Goalkeeper called Salman Ahmed Al-Ansari who played for Qatar but his Date of Birth is 13 June 1983 and not 1 January 1981 as mentioned in the article .As per this and This he passes WP:NFOOTY if it refers to the Goalkeeper.I went through his profile on his company website but it does not mention he played for Qatar as per this.Hence not sure if it refers to the Goalkeeper or is erroneously mentioned.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 09:05, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have raised the question about this person on WT:FOOTY a few months ago (here) but sadly didn't have time to follow up. Basically, it looks like it was an article about a football player who passes on WP:NFOOTY grounds that was baldly rewritten about a lawyer person with the same name. This needs to be undone. --BlameRuiner (talk) 09:46, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes subject specific guidelines WP:FOOTBALL. Source added. Clearly about the Qatari international footballer but re-written by a close source to make it more about the lawyering. Added ref to show 2002/2003 international appearances. Needs a good copy edit, which I started but don't have time to complete. Not sure how much of his lawyering is notable but cursory search did show he is -or was- president of the Qatar Professional Players Association and is on some committee or other to do with the World Cup bid. ClubOranje^T 12:03, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
From reading the diff and the name of the account that added this, and applying some simple arithmetic, it seems that the more likely explanation is that this is the same person, who came to Wikipedia to update an article about xyrself to explain that xe is a lawyer now and correct xyr own date of birth, and here is a load of autobiography from the site of xyr law firm to prove it. It has, after all, been some 13 years since the football career.
According to the potted blurb in the byline for سلمان أحمد الأنصاري in Al-Jazeera, this person is President of the Qatari Players' Association, Vice President of the Qatar Foundation for Sports Arbitration and member of the FIFA Appeal Committee. The QFSA post may well be the case. It's worth checking out that maybe this person does have the career claimed after playing football in xyr early 20s.

Keep Although I've never used it personally, as a developer who sometimes writes Python code professionally, I've heard of this, and I think most Python developers have heard of it too. And, entire books have been written about it, see:

Mark Williams; Cory Benfield; Brian Warner; Moshe Zadka; Dustin Mitchell; Kevin Samuel; Pierre Tardy (7 December 2018). Expert Twisted: Event-Driven and Asynchronous Programming with Python. Apress. ISBN 978-1-4842-3742-7.
Abe Fettig; Glyph Lefkowitz (20 October 2005). Twisted Network Programming Essentials. "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". ISBN 978-0-596-10032-2.

The second book is not entirely independent, since the original developer of Twisted is one of its coauthors. Still, O'Reilly is a respected publisher in the field, and even if not entirely independent, having a book on the topic published by O'Reilly is a definite sign of notability. Also, see these books which discuss it extensively:

@Clnreee: I know you say you did WP:BEFORE, but did you not find any of the above in Google Books? I found these just by searching for "twisted" and "python" as search terms. (And, a Google Scholar search for the same search terms finds several papers mentioning Twisted, although I haven't looked in detail to see if those are extensive coverage or passing mentions, but at least a few of the hits appear to be the former rather than the later.) I can also point to extensive coverage by LWN.net:

SJK (talk) 13:40, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per SJK. I agree with SJK that the O'Reilly book contributes toward notability; they are a high quality, selective publisher with independent technical reviewers, leading to a substantial reliable source that provides evidence of the impact the software has made on the field that few third-party libraries attain. In addition to the LWN coverage, there have been articles in reliable sources, such as the Linux Journal:
- Kinder, Ken. "Event-Driven Programming with Twisted and Python | Linux Journal". www.linuxjournal.com. Linux Journal.

The article has no independent sources at all, nor is there any evidence anywhere that this brand is notable independently of its parent company. There is no point in merging, as the bare facts of the brand's existence, its launch date, etc are already in the article about the parent company, and other than that the Shopwise article consists almost entirely of a table listing all it branches, which is excessive listing and not needed.

Delete Neither he nor his business is really notable, at least based on the current sources, and the article was and is still quite promotional. ("multiple companies in different industries") with some rather absurd name dropping, such a meeting a distinguished person after a conference., The interviews are totally unusable for notability as they are the sort that allow the interviewee to say whatever they please--you do not need to read Russian to tell that's the case with https://natali.ua/life-style/67757/ and http://dengi.ua/business/307134-Luchshe-ne-budet-nigde--chem-v-rodnoj-strane---no-snachala-LUChShE-nado-sdelat--absoljutno-vse (deliberately not linked) . The identical titles of some of the other references show their origins as press releases.

As for the added sources, the Arabic publication mentioned above says on its face,in English, that it's a press release. The second source, mentioned above [4], may be from a reputable publication, but the article itself is a press release; "" [4] "The NY Koen Group holding, under the leadership of the founder and the world-famous Ukrainian businessman NY Koen Group, ... seeks to introduce all the latest and most progressive management methods, combining them with the classical management fundamentals that ensure stability and reliable investment. ...

Thanks to the success of its subsidiaries, NY Koen Group has a well-deserved recognition and trust of customers and partners...One of the partners of the NY Group -... - is the Indian holding company Sobha Group, ... and is known for its grandiose projects and impeccable quality of work. the whole world. Sobha Group offers consumers excellent results on time, which exceeds all expectations. The best specialists are involved in the implementation of projects, in the process of construction strict engineering control is carried out, great attention is paid to environmental protection, water resources and the highest safety." I apologize for the length of the quote. We shouldn't need to take the content of non-English references on faith. DGG ( talk ) 21:59, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

response to points raised by User:DGG:

I totally agree that the page is promotional in tone, and some parts require rewriting. However the tone of the article is not the reason for the AFD, WP:GNG is, and the WP:GNG is clearly met, the WP:GNG states that: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. - multiple sources meet this criteria.
According to Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability - "An independent interviewer represents the "world at large" giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability." - so unless you are questioning the integrity and independence of all these reporters. Having all these interviews does add to notability.
totally Agree regarding Kutchma, and have deleted it.
I am not sure what you mean by (deliberately not linked). Some citations were added by the original contributor, others were added by me after this AFD was opened as mentioned above, but i just double checked, and this interview is cited! So i have no idea what is your issue here.
You are claiming that the: The second source, mentioned above [4], may be from a reputable publication, but the article itself is a press release - you decided that it's a press release how? if it's a reputable publication wouldn't they disclose that this is a press release? Is the reason because this article can be found also on other websites? Most of their articles are cross-syndicated to other sites.

- Shemtovca (talk) 00:33, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Most generally, the combination of borderline or even weak notability with clear promotionalism , is an excellent reason for deletion at AfD, and each year, thousands of articles are so deleted. If there's something clearly notable, and not too outrageously promotional, it's worth rewriting or draftifying; if it's hopelessly non-notable, or really outrageously promotional, it's appropriate for speedy. If there's something borderline on both, it's not worth the work it would take tomake it acceptable. AfD, which can delete on any good reason that has consensus, is the place to make those judgments.

Having all those interviews, means he has an effective press agent. Having real interviews with reporters who don't simply reprint what he says, that is what leads to notability. An interview clearly arranged by the pressagent and used by the subject for publicity, is not an independent interview, no matter what news source is misguided enough to publish it. The way to tell if is a PR-pseudo-interview, is to look at the contents, and we are qualified to judge that. The way I tell is to look at the very short questions, which are lead-ins, followed by the the very extensive answers--and then if it is a language I can read or get a decent translation for, I look at what is said in the answers. And yes, I do indeed question the judgement of any reporter would would lend his name to such stuff. The amount of pseudo-journalism in the world is enormous, and some subject areas are especially notorious for it. We can't raise their standards, at least not directly, but we can keep it off WP. It is not possible to write decent articles, when all the sources are unreliable.

by "deliberately not linked", I mean I consider those sources of so abysmally low quality that I do not want to put the links into WP. I just put them in in plaintext so people would know what I am referring to. I see they got linked anyway. Next time, I'll know to use an unlinkable format.

DELETE - WP:BASIC The coverage of the subject is all trivial. The majority of the references are really brief PR interviews or press releases for a business project. Where is the 10000 word article on him? Notability requires in-depth coverage. In many, his name is mentioned in passing. Not a single referenced article possesses depth. Many trivial mentions do not constitute notability. They are all basically… 'This is what the project is.' WP:WHYN This is reflected by the lack of depth in this article, which is essentially, 'He runs the company that has these lines of business and is working on this project.'

Delete as not notable and promotional. One of the first things I look at with a supposed biography, particularly a WP:BLP, is if the article is about the person. In many cases the article is presented as a pseudo biography with more on the company. If the company is notable that should be the article. Sometimes it seems it is all about money. When money is involved we naturally get PR reps and PR companies that get paid to do their job. If a person is a billionaire there will be a list (a lot of the times by Forbes) and that seems to be an indication some think we "must" have an article. We have categories for the lists of billionaires in various countries. Lists that don't have blue links will be red linked for a future article. See: List of Southeast Asian people by net worth, List of Germans by net worth, and others. Many times the lists themselves are not notable being sourced by just Forbes like List of Indonesians by net worth. Some are worse (Theo Müller) than others but when the sources are promotional that is what we end up with. A problem with Interviews is that they are RARELY actually neutral and are most of the times biased and leans towards promotion. This leads to less consideration of reliability in general and almost always in particular is proven as fact that they are less reliable. There seems to be a continued misunderstanding about sources. A source can be excellent for article content but not advance notability. Our guidelines separate the two but many times we seem to fail to grasp this. A company source with just the name of an individual, owner, or CEO, is not about that person and may have just passing mention on the individual. Being ultra rich is not a good single criterion for having an article from an encyclopedic point of view but from a monetary, self-worth, or pinnacle of stature point of view, it makes sense. If I had 3 BILLION dollars (estimated 2,153 billionaires in the world) I would probably want a Wikipedia article also. I would likely have a PR team that would work to make this happen even if I didn't toss 50 grand or more at one in attempts to make sure it happens. The point is that the person may not actually be as notable as the multi-billion dollar companies they run so why not start with the company? In this case look at what sources are available. Without considering the reliability or specific criteria on advancing notability, the sources are mainly about the company or companies over the individual.

Delete per Otr500 and others. While the sourcing has improved since the original nomination, the fact remains that most of the coverage doesn't meet RS. (In that it is mainly reprints of interviews/press-releases/etc, and hence represent questionable/promotional sources. And also seems to be about the subject's company, rather than about the subject directly.) While an argument could be made that contributors to this EN project might be better swayed by RS coverage in English, it would seem reasonable that, if the subject is well-known to UK and RU speakers, then perhaps we'd (organically) have expected to see an article about the subject on the UK and RU WP projects first. Which brings me to my final point. Namely that the PAID/PROMO overtones here are concerning. And while the more glaring promo issues are largely addressed, the promotional undertones remain. (And, frankly, if they are removed, I'm not sure what is left.) In short, delete as NN (with a side order or NOTPROMO). Guliolopez (talk) 15:22, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

response to points raised by Otr500 & Guliolopez

Regarding the interviews: the point has been addressed above. Plus multiple reliable, independent non-interview sources have been added. So at this point i believe there is enough non questionable/promotional sources thats would pass WP:RS
Regarding starting with a company page first: i wasn't the one who started this page so i can't answer for someone else's intent and priorities. But IMHO when a company is a private corporation, that belongs to a single individual and almost every article about the company mentioned the owner and in many instances talks as much about him as about the company, in such a case i believe the corporation is just a trade-name under which the individual does his business activities, and the individual is more notable than the company.
Regarding why there is no article in Russian / Ukrainian Wikipedia: While i speak fluently in Russian, i never did any major work in the Russian Wikipedia project space so i can't answer why it doesn't exist there but one thing to note is that English WP has close to 6 million articles, Russian WP has 1.5 million and Ukrainian has less than 1 million articles. So i am not surprised it doesn't exist there, since over the years i have found many articles regarding Russia / Ukraine will either not a have a Russian equivalent or it's going to be of much lower quality.
As you and others have acknowledged majority of the promotional content has been removed, and the article sourcing has improved. In which case i am not sure what you are suggesting with your last comment that "the promotional undertones remain. (And, frankly, if they are removed, I'm not sure what is left.)". If this type of logic would be applied we basically be saying that unless a successful individual has done something bad like committing some sort of major crime we shouldn't create a WP page for them since even though their success and philanthropy is covered the article looks too positive and has "promotional undertones".

Reply: The first reference is an interview and the title translates to Naum Cohen. I dreamed of becoming a big man. When I read about the "NY Group Trade Center Kyiv" I would prefer it be from an independent source where it might be expected to see a pro and con aspect. There WILL BE NOTHING from the subject giving any negative sides. The second references titled "Dubai opens its heart to you" (translated) starts out "NY Group, under the leadership of the founder and world-famous Ukrainian businessman Koen Naum Yakubovich..." and the title and wording doesn't appear to me to have any chance at being neutral. The third reference also translated is titled "We want everything that we do to go beyond the ordinary and never cease to amaze" and is also an interview and is obviously not neutral. The fourth reference is also an interview titled "It will not be better anywhere else than in your own country, but first you have to do absolutely everything BETTER" (also translated), and again one need only read the interview to see an obvious lack of neutrality. The fifth reference title translates as "Jewelry House Jeni Coin makes your dreams come true". This reference is advertising and can be reflected by the end of the article, "And the most important thing is that for her every client is already a star, which with Jeni Coin can shine brighter!". Several references are press releases and those are not reliable as they are almost always initiated by the company or a PR team. I didn't comment of the amber mosque reference because references can be acceptable for content but not advance notability. What I see is still a lack of notability as provided by sources.

Also reply.

The suggestion that I am arguing that "successful philanthropists are only notable if they are also criminals" is one of the most glorious strawman that I have ever seen :) Normally I just quietly salute strawmen from the roadside. And move along. Without engaging them. But this example is so glorious that I have to acknowledge it :) Hurrah and three cheers to the most fantastic strawman I have seen in many a winter - Hurrah!

Massive dose of sarcasm aside, I am (OBVIOUSLY) not arguing that "unless a successful individual has committed a major crime we shouldn't create a WP page for them". No reasonable person would. Despite how my contributions seem to have been characterised. That being said, if I take this strawman down from his pole, and knock him about a bit, he also seems to suggest something about notability also potentially deriving from "success and philanthropy". Which, of course, it can. But, in the case of philanthropy for example, we might expect to see some sort of recognition or significant coverage of that philanthropy. Like an award maybe. Internationally the Balzan and Nobel prizes spring to mind. Even nationally, Ukraine has at least three orders of merit that recognise citizens for humanitarian and charity work. Has our subject received any of those? Not that I can see. Has our subject's philanthropy received a lot of coverage? Not that I can see. (A handful of quasi-promotional articles all covering the same recent charitable act would seem to confirm the subject's philanthropy, but do not confirm the subject's notability.)

Anyway, I'm sticking this glorious strawman back on his pole. He's too fantastic not to let others enjoy him too. ("You are basically saying that a successful individual must have done something bad in order to warrant a WP page". That's just brilliant. Best ever!)

Reply to Guliolopez: I am happy you find it funny and amusing, but some time the best way to prove a point is to take it to extreme AKA Reductio ad absurdum.

Regarding your point of where is his award?: Ukraine is now in a situation of Civil War and a war with one of the super powers (Russia). Ukraine has one of the most corrupt systems in the world built up and reinforced over the last 28 years. Under the previous president (the new one just got elected and is trying to win a parliamentary support now in upcoming parliamentary elections) only Anti-Russia pro war actions could have merited someone an award or recognition of some sort. Naum's donation embarrasses the political establishment incapable to deliver basic medical needs, hence awards are out of question. Shemtovca (talk) 01:20, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The point is that if there isn't 'significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject' then wikipedia doesn't treat a subject as notable (WP:GNG). WP isn't an advocacy site (WP:ADVOCACY) especially for the purpose of promoting a person and his business. WP should not engage in original research (WP:NOR). This page is a mess in that there is no independent coverage and there's confusion over the person versus the company (WP:ORGIND). This whole discussion of them being one and the same is just attempting to confuse the situation further. Some of the 'supporting' documents are essentially press releases for the company (WP:NOTADVERTISING). All of these interviews are primary sources which do not display subject notability (WP:BASIC). The complete absence of any neutral perspective means that all that remains is the fawning descriptions from these 'interviews' (WP:SPIP). It is just a soapbox for the subject (WP:SOAPBOX). WP:WPBIO requires that for a biography, the subject must have 'received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.' None of that exists today and no amount of tweaking will change that. Unfortunately, there are numerous reasons that the subject should not have a standalone page. ogenstein (talk) 08:02, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to WP:WHYN "We require the existence of at least one secondary source so that the article can comply with Wikipedia:No original research's requirement that all articles be based on secondary sources." While you might disagree regarding some of the older articles kp.ua article definitely WP:SECONDARY, not an interview or a press release so no WP:NOR is required.
WP:ADVOCACY is defined as "Advocacy is the use of Wikipedia to promote personal beliefs or agendas at the expense of Wikipedia's goals and core content policies, including verifiability and neutral point of view." Are you saying that the reason i support this article is because we are both from Ukraine? If not i fail to see how WP:ADVOCACY applies here.
Another WP:SECONDARY source that you have ignored is retailers.ua (it actually mentioned two negative things 1) the construction didn't start yet 2) The financing is not finalized yet.)
Including these above mentioned sources also negates WP:SPIP & WP:ORGIND
Also please note i have found older news coverage about him keeping a lion at his home near Kiev and added it under a new section.

Shemtovca (talk) 04:46, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If I misinterpreted your comments at 01:20, then my apologies.

I looked at the KP article and it has the same issues. While it is true that the paper did not interview him directly, it instead spoke with his partners who laud him for his qualities, and then what may as well be a press release follows. This is not significant coverage, it is not independent, it is not a secondary source; guidelines are clear on this. The Retailers piece looks independent but most of the article consists of material given to the press or primary reporting but regardless of that, the article is about the project, not the subject. It is also routine business news — essentially anything that is along the lines of, 'financing completed' or 'workers broke ground'. And if an article can be described as 'mentions' then it doesn't contribute to notability.

After reviewing the additional material that you have found, I still do not see that any of WHYN, SPIP, or ORGIND have been addressed.
I think this gets confused a lot but: "A WP:SECONDARY source provides an author's own thinking based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains an author's analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources." As long as the interviews with the subject follow the existing model, there is nothing for a secondary source to analyse or evaluate — hence there is an absence of significant secondary coverage. I should add that these sources have issues with WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER as well. ogenstein (talk) 09:15, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason i brought up the conflict in Ukraine was to paint the context of why expecting an award for offering measles vaccine to a country in Europe with highest measles incidents count is not a reasonable expectation in the current political climate.
Regarding judging if KP is a secondary / independent source you are saying that "guidelines are clear on this". WP:SECONDARY states "They rely on primary sources for their material". That is definition of secondary sources. Also the article clearly "contains an author's analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources."
Regarding the Retailers article: The primary sources are not trusted because they are not verified if a secondary source reprints them, without preface that this info wasn't verified we can trust them at this point. Furthermore the fact that they fact-checked the news as reported by other sources that the construction has begun, and reported otherwise, shows that they do the research required for reporting. And the story differently doesn't just "mention" the subject and his business. Shemtovca (talk) 22:32, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Then I misinterpreted your earlier comment and was mistaken in bringing up advocacy. Separately, I quoted 'mentions' because you described some of the sources this way and such a reference is by definition, trivial.

The KP article is simply printing the information provided by the partners of the subject and is promotional. It offers none of the requirements of SECONDARY and fails NOTNEWSPAPER. This applies to the majority of these sources but to clarify: Primary sources cannot demonstrate notability.
Whether construction has begun or not is routine business news and would not be indicative of a company's notability and is especially irrelevant when it comes to a BLP. It also fails NOTNEWSPAPER.
Despite considerable effort on your part to seek out a wide range of sources, the meaningful part of the biography could be written with a single sentence. There has not been 'analysis, evaluation, etc…' and this is clear from what can be written about the subject. Without good secondary sources it is not possible to write a full biography nor a balanced one, and that is really what the policies and guidelines try to provide for. ogenstein (talk) 00:07, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. What this article need is a notice for more reliable citations as the person is notable by the Wikipedia notability guidelines but in my opinion the selection of references is not good and the text of the article must be improved(instead of deletion).I propose to improve the article by leaving a few notices on top of it. I found more relevant information regarding the businessman on the Internet and his company as it is quite active in the post Soviet Union area. The mere fact that most of the links are in Russian don't make the person less notable.I'll be looking for more reliable sources to demonstrate it. RossK 19:17, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

The result was redirect to Nike (rocket stage). Consensus is to merge, however, there isn't sufficient content in this two sentence article about a specific rocket configuration to merge anywhere, so I'm going to save the extra step of speedying this later by simply deleting it now. @Tyw7:, I see that there were a number of other AfDs related to some of the articles that are presently listed on Template:Nike_rockets, which were closed as Merge but which haven't been merged yet. Once the merger is complete, please replace the old articles with redirects to Nike (rocket stage). Also, if there's anything else that you want to have merged there, but which hasn't been through AfD, I think you're safe to WP:BOLDly perform the merge yourself, if you don't anticipate anyone opposing the merge.

Comments: There is a severe lack of notability here. Most of these "similar" articles use one source, the Encyclopedia Astronautica. Some confusion is that most of these "rockets" have been named but this one appears to be two individual rocket stages. We don't need individual dictionary entries on every type rocket that has been launched as that would seem to be a large number. There are around 4,987 satellites in orbit and there is a big listing but I don't think we need an article on each or on every rocket. Otr500 (talk) 17:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

dear girth,

i obliged, when writing the lemma... four of the five winners are to be found in the english wikipedia... in two of their entries the ranald macdonald award is mentioned... so i decided after three years to publish a lemma on the award...

as for the book cited in the entry, that is simply the source of the citation...

for the rest of the references, i aimed at informing the reader about works and names, not known in the english wikipedia... which, apparently, was a mistake...

as for my new references, i copied a reference from the page about zia haider rahman, to which i did not contribute, and formulated the new ones exactly as that old one...

well, that is what i can do...

if ever the entry on the ranald macdonald award is 'off side' and will be removed, i will be the last to oppose the decision... as i already said, i obliged...

sincerely,

fred dijs

ps... i do not do hiding... when you read fred dijs, it is fred dijs...

Hi Fred Dijs - in nominating this page for deletion, I did not mean to imply any bad faith on your part, I'm sure that you created this page with the best of intentions. When reviewing new pages, one of the things we consider is whether the subject has been written about in sufficient reliable sources to be considered notable enough to warrant a separate article. I have no problem with the award being mentioned on the pages of recipients who are themselves notable, but I'm just not confident that there are enough sources about the award itself for it to pass the general notability guideline. I hope that makes sense. GirthSummit _(blether) 08:14, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

dear girth,

once again, i only wrote this entry to enable users of the ENGLISH wikipedia to get an answer to the question 'ranald macdonald award?' or, in other words, to make the ENGLISH encyclopedia more coherent...

in other languages, including dutch, the question will not arise because the awarded works and/or makers do not figure in those encyclopedias...

as for the changes i made, you will notice that users are now able to verify the book citation at google books and do not have to look for mentions of the award...

i kept the references to PINC for frederik van oudenhoven and to Stockholm University for jamila haider for the user to have a 'one click' introduction to those two persons, not figuring in the english wikipedia...

i introduced the column 'Type' in the table...

this is the best i can do, so i will wait for the english wikipedia community, including you, to decide on the proposed deletion...

i appreciate, by the way, our discussion, because i am an avid user of the english wikipedia, which is in my eyes, by far, the best, and now i experience personally that its content is well protected...

sincerely,

fred dijs

Comment. Given the second relisting, I'd like to compile the current state of responses:
- Two users indefinitely blocked, both !votes should presumably disregarded for cause. One delete by nominator blocked as a sock, and one keep blocked as an advertising-only account. (Siddharth and Shringhringshring.)
- Two !votes with minimal rationale. One delete and one keep, each lacking any clear indication of how or why the article satisfies or fails to satisfy Notability guidelines. (Masum Reza and Usedtobecool.)
- Three !votes to delete, each clearly demonstrating a detailed examination of the sourcing and all reaching the same conclusion. (David notMD, WBG, and Alsee.) Alsee (talk) 05:30, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as WP:Run-of-the-mill and for failing WP:NBUILDING. The article does not cite any sources or references. While the article asserts that the subject is important, that assertion cannot be attributed to reliable sources. Coverage is routine in nature and lacking in depth, and almost all that coverage comes from the local newspaper. • Gene93k (talk) 01:59, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A mall of this size, with gross leasable area of 450,000 square feet (42,000 m²) has probably generated enough coverage by reliable sources over the years to demonstrate notability. ONce notable, always notable, even if the mall is dying. It doesn't help that the local daily newspaper has a paywall (the first three articles are free), but here's another reference: https://www.gazettextra.com/news/business/bon-ton-to-close-elder-beerman-store-in-beloit/article_e9e14d8b-0bb0-5d3f-82b0-d13d54e31df8.html Janesville, WI Eastmain (talk • contribs) 12:26, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

rebuttal @Eastmain: The assertion that there must be sources because the subject is big fails without significant coverage by multiple independent reliable sources. I looked for sources and you looked for sources. The references added are mostly routine in nature. The Wayback Machine archives most of the newly added references before the paywalls went up. Paywalls would not be an issue if there was a diversity of sources. The new references cover the routine presence or turnover of anchors and tenants. By the numbers: 1. Beloit Daily News, article only mentions the mall in a caption; 2. GazetteXtra, local impact as chain closes stores; 3. Beloit Daily News again, another chain closes store article. Content about the mall is comes from a manager for the mall's owner; 4. Eclipse Center, primary source; 5. Beloit Daily News again, routine grand opening covered by the local paper. Notability does not expire only if it was there to begin with. Notability claims as a building come up short. As a commercial enterprise, it's not even close to satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH. • Gene93k (talk) 06:46, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This has been tagged for refimprove for 10+ years, so a review is in order, following the even older AfD from 2005. As it is written now it fails WP:NORG and I am not seeing any better sources. I am hard pressed finding any in-depth coverage. There are a few mentions ([8], [9]) but I am not seeing any in-depth coverage, and a lot of it seems like a rewritten press release. Can anyone find something more substantial?

The book notes:
Harajuku's evolution from fashionable village to fashion capital is epitomized by the arrival of Laforet. In 1978, a part of the Tokyo Center Church was razed and replaced with a shopping mall. One might almost hear the angels singing when walking through the doors, were it not for the din blasting from the competing sound systems pumping music from every shop. At the time, Laforet was one of the tallest buildings in the area, dominating the landscape. The exterior gives scant evidence of the experience lying in wait. The sales, storewide and seasonal, are extraordinary—but shoppers must brace themselves for one of life's most intense shopping experiences. Everything—the music, the clothes, the riot of storefronts packed into its six floors (split into twelve half-floors), the shop girls screaming inasshaimase ("welcome!")—competes for attention. It is still a very Japanese experience. Shoppers swarm, but not aggressively. ...
Laforet was built by real estate developer Mori Building, responsible for countless properties across Tokyo, including the Roppongi Hills shopping, residence, and museum complex. ... Laforet was the first that would become solely devoted to youth culture.
Brands like Hysteric Glamour and Ba-tsu opened their first shops in Laforet, and even now, after nearly thirty years, it remains the place for emerging fashion brands to break into the market, and the best reflection of what is happening on the streets.
Surprisingly, this wasn't always the case. Laforet was originally intended to cater more conventionally to shoppers drawn to established brands. But its first year in business was a flop. The original standard shop layout and staid design weren't drawing customers. Rethinking their approach, the management brought on Ryuki Matsumoto, the designer of the fashion brand Ba-tsu, to help attract customers and improve sales. His suggestions along with those of the participating shops culminated in a reworking of the interior. Long, deep stores were traded for a central stairwell and shallow shop space, giving shoppers a panoptical view. Young, emerging brands were encouraged to move in, reflecting Harajuku's new creative spirit. These changes became the foundation of Laforet of today.
Beyond the layout, there were also early stumbles with image and branding. Laforet's first advertising campaign, designed by U.S.-based fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez—whose work was typically chic with European flair—didn't seem to click. Laforet continued to struggle to find its public image until art director Takuya Onuki was hired to create a series of ad campaigns in the mid-1990s. He had a preference for the use of nonliteral, quirky imagery. Rather than casting pretty women to present a precious sensibility in his ads, Onuki's graphics were more frequently humorous and a little trashy, with toy dogs modeling designer denim, or scens of regular Americans going about daily life in their underwear. Along with Onuki's designs, another art director, Nagi Noda, helped give Laforet its playful and distinct image. The advertising campaigns she designed for Laforet blend a dreamlike fantasy with a playful stance.
The book contains at least two more paragraphs about Laforet.

Long venerated as a standard-bearer for Harajuku fashion, Laforet Harajuku is a dynamic department store with roughly 140 clothing and accessory boutiques across its six floors. Twice a year, the complex and its shops undergo a complete renewal, creating a sink or swim environment whereby old vendors must constantly reinvent themselves to keep up with the latest trends or risk being replaced by new blood.
...
Laforet Harajuku is most popular among the teenage set, and has a lot more to offer the girls than boys. With so many shops, however, there's something for everyone here. The fashion-conscious of every generation are known to stop by, if only to keep up with the latest trends.

Discover what Japan's trend-defining gyaru (girls) are buying at Laforet Harajuku

Tokyo has been overwhelmed by department stores trying to one up each other. And yet, for those in search of kawaii ('cute') culture and Japanese fashions you won't find anywhere else, Laforet remains the ultimate pilgrimage.
Opened in 1978, Laforet is a six-storey slab of geometric forms that looks increasingly distinctive amid Tokyo's multiplying ranks of steel-and-glass towers. If you don't wish to be overcome by waves of teenage girls, try visiting on a weekday.
The top three floors target young professionals, and as such tend to have more conventional brands like Olive des Olive, As Know As Pink and Pageboy. Further down is where the looks get really interesting. Laichi integrates Western designs into Japan-made clothing for one-of-a-kind pieces. You can also choose from wonderfully imaginative silk-screened stockings and patterned ties.
The Goth-Lolita look is integral to Harajuku style, and you'll find a number of shops devoted to it on the B1.5 to B1 floors. ...
Laforet Harajuku also contains two floors of Store by Nigo, with the iconic t-shirts and streetwear by the eponymous Japanese designer known for his collaborations with Kanye West, Pharrell Williams and other hip-hop luminaries.

Best Haraju-cutie Store

Laforet, Harajuku. A "Haraju-cutie" is one of those black-clad children (M or F) that make up a goodly percentage of Japan's fashion-buying public. The initiator of the trend toward boutique-filled buildings, LaForet could be considered the cultural center of Harajuku. That's a little scary. It houses 150 shops on six floor and two basements divided into half levels. Some Japanese designers are represented, but basically it's reasonably priced young fashion. The LaForet Museum on the 5th floor is host to numerous avant-garde events. LaForet Part II, with 50 more shops for the younger-yet generation, is a few blocks north on Meiji-Dori. Look for the lifelike pair of women's legs sticking out of the building.

An Aladdin’s Cave of small, distinctive retail spaces, the Laforet building at a main crossroads in trendy Harajuku has been a shopping magnet for young people since it opened in 1978. This year, for instance, more than 3,000 lined up outside awaiting the start of its New Year sale. And whereas its Shibuya retail rival Parco also boasts a theater and a cinema, Laforet Harajku has the acclaimed multipurpose art space called Laforet Museum on the sixth floor.

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

Pessimistic sigh* At this point these anachronistic, heinous-quality articles are like bed bugs. Inevitably people "on here" will contort themselves out of shape to try to say this model meets notability standards (because she exists, "but... Women Management!", there’s a few completely unsubstantiated buzz words and there’s a free image? Is that it? But hey, no one seriously wants to ameliorate "NMODEL"), so I have to ramble off everything don’t I. For 9 and a half years, there has been an unaddressed BLP template. When you actually try to find sources what do you get? "Model attends party in St. Tropez with other models hosted by a certain well-known modelizer", "model was airbrushed", that really pointless SI Swim Daily thing where all they do is post a bunch of Instagram photos of models who will never make it to the magazine. The Elle Russia link is a bunch of inane questions about her beauty routine with trivia at the bottom. They don’t even talk about what work she’s done at the very least. In the 3 sentences that pertain to jobs, the source, predictably and lazily, is Fashion Model Directory (not. a. reliable. source. A last resort at best.)
