I can't find much about this professor that would serve to satisfy WP:NPROF, except that he seems reasonably highly cited. What I can't determine is whether these cite numbers (a dozen in the space between 50 and 100) add up to "significant impact on discipline" in Political Science/Sociology. I know that in plenty of disciplines they wouldn't. So, input please; will be happy to withdraw if this is considered a Big Gun. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:59, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All right, consensus seems pretty clear that these cite numbers are sufficient. I'm going to withdraw. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:23, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Passes WP:Prof on basis of GS citations. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:45, 6 October 2019 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep: worldcat identities page [1] suggest that subject likely meets WP:AUTHOR. I'm willing to give this page the benefit of the doubt, as a later career academic and multiple books published by uni presses. --K.e.coffman (talk) 03:42, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Borderline. Citations for co-authored papers are in the range of 50-100, but there are quite a few. Several books. Leaning keep, through mostly because I think we need to be more inclusive for academics. If we were to look at our criteria strictly, pretty borderline. But if we were to compare academics to sportpeople, a senior academic like him is way up there in notability - since we are so inclusive in sports, if we were as inclusive in academia, we would probably have entries for grad students...--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:12, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to expand on this comment - I just spent a bit of time looking for sources. I found a lot of short articles about its stock market listing, but almost nothing about the company itself. From the very brief mentions in the articles I found, I learn that its a chain of home improvement stores, mostly in Manilla - and that's it. I didn't see anything that seemed to approach the criteria at WP:CORPDEPTH, so I'm convinced this is a delete. GirthSummit (blether) 14:04, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obscure Looney Tunes character; article was initially redirected due to notability & sourcing concerns, however the character was also removed from the target article (List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters) for the same reason, so a redirect is confusing and offers no benefit to the reader. If notability and unsourced original research are the issues, I'm inclined to think that we should just delete instead.

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:

I think the page should remain because the character was revived in both The Looney Tunes Show and New Looney Tunes, and thus has modern relevance. James Gordon (talk) 15:04, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all unless sources are found. I could maybe see Rocky and Mugsy having some kind of potential, but that's based on absolutely nothing but my initial thought seeing their names. TTN (talk) 16:32, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete all per TTN. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 17:36, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters per WP:HEY. I found two references which analyze the character in two different ways, one in terms of playing into the evil foreigner with facial hair trope, and another looking at morality tales as told to children (in this case the evils of being a thief). I also found that the character inspired a type of poker/blackjack hybrid game that has been published in a poker game book. This may not be enough for WP:SIGCOV on its own (others should comment), but it would fit nicely into the list article which needs referencing and expansion. If kept, unsourced material should be weeded out. I request that the nominator either close as merge, or re-list so others can have time to look at what I added to the article. @TTN: and @Erpert: please comment again, as the article has changed with added referencing and is no longer completely lacking sources.4meter4 (talk) 17:35, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Now, I would !vote merge Rocky and Mugsy to List of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies characters per 4meter4 but still delete the rest. The sources in Blacque Jacque Shellacque are either brief mentions about him or don't mention him at all; and as for Count Blood Count, well, aside from being a very, very minor character, the article has no sources and its tone is, frankly, laughable. Erpert blah, blah, blah... 18:00, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Um... all of the sources in the article do mention Blacque Jacque Shellacque. I just researched them and added them. I didn't think it was really enough to warrant it's own article either, but it's certainly enough to be included in a list.4meter4 (talk) 21:34, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
More than brief mentions? Erpert blah, blah, blah... 13:19, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would say they offer brief analysis, but are really not that substantial. Enough to warrant a merge to the list, but not necessarily an article. I'm still hoping to dig offline for references. Best.4meter4 (talk) 14:30, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A lot of articles like this exist Category:Gross state product, they are encyclopedic. The World Bank is a reliable source for information. Dream Focus 16:44, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and please close it immediately as this is an invalid application of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. We also have similar articles for many other countries such like the United States, China, Germany, Switzerland, etc. They synthesise information to produce something of encyclopedic interest in a similar way as the list of lakes by area does.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 21:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per above. No reason to delete, but can someone please explain why the GDP per capita is compared with other countries? Does this add anything? I believe it should be removed. Thanks, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:20, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Willbb234: The comparison seems to appear in the lists for European countries but not in those for non-European ones, which might be a result of the application of some manual of style to Europe-related articles. Anyway, the column is not misleading and illustratively explains where a region stands compared to other countries.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:39, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the comparisons are particularly helpful, especially for the smaller regions, whose numbers are inflated by fossil fuel and mining industries and very low population density. An export-heavy monopolised industry generating big profits for out-of-state investors in a region with low wages, low property prices and low costs of living is hardly comparable to an affluent sovereign country with a balanced economy and low relative poverty.

Non-notable. Previously claimed (obviously untrue) to be the lead in Gerak Khas and I suspect that "supporting" is also very much overstating the case.

  • Keep per Arxiloxos (talk · contribs)'s comment at the November 2011 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis LLP:

    They are reasonably large and well-known, especially in Southern California, where the business pages regularly cover the comings and goings of their attorneys and, perhaps more significantly, report on them as one of the more significant firms. I agree that a lot of what comes up in searches is marketing material, but there's also significant independent coverage: for example, a 2009 report on their cuts in associate salaries as setting a trend for the profession[2]; a 2005 report that Anaheim would be hiring them as outside counsel to deal with the NFL[3]; a 1993 report including them as one of the significant SoCal law firms leading a then-popular trend of opening offices in Mexico[4]. There are certainly other law firms out there that have a higher public profile, but I think Allen Matkins gets enough.

    Here are more sources I found:
    1. Djordjevich, Vera (2006). Vault Guide to the Top Southern California Law Firms, 2007 Edition (2 ed.). New York: Vault.com. pp. 16–20. ISBN 978-1-58131-413-7. Retrieved 2019-10-12.

      According to The Wall Street Journal in this article, "Lawyers looking for the scoop on the nation's biggest law firms now have a place to go. The newest edition of Vault Inc.'s Guide to the Top 100 Law Firms, which hit bookshelves Monday, offers the ins and outs from the perspectives of more than 11,000 associates."

      The book notes:

      Twenty-five years ago, Allen Matkins Leck Gamble & Mallory operated out of one small office in Los Angeles and another in Orange County. Today, the firm has over 200 lawyers in six offices throughout California. The firm's specialties are real estate and litigation, but it's also well known for its corporate and hospitality work, while the securities, employment, bankruptcy and tax practices are also quite successful. So successful, in fact, that the firm appears on most of California's top lists, including that of the Los Angeles Business Journal (ranking No. 29 out of the top firms in L.A.), the San Diego Business Journal (ranking No. 18 in the San Diego area) and the Daily Journal (ranking No. 23 out of the top 50 firms in California). The firm has even made The National Law Journal's list of the nation's largest law firms, the NLJ 250, where it currently ranks at No. 192 (up from 197 in 2004). Chambers USA recently ranked Allen Matkins the No. 1 real estate law firm in California.

      Name partner Michael Matkins was recently listed among the Best in the West, due in no small part to the L.A. office's representation of a joint venture that acquired nearly 150 acres of land for a housing development in the former Ford Ord, near Monterey, Calif. More than 20 government meetings and an additional 60 community meetings occurred before the deal could be completed. Matkins also represented another joint venture in an unusual public-private partnership to modernize the Los Angeles Air Force Base which, according to news reports, was almost closed due to "significant seismic concerns." Other notable clients on the firm's roster include Catellus Development Corporation, Wells Fargo Bank, Sares-Regis Group, Marriott International, Fox Entertainment Group, JPMorgan Chase, Washington Mutual, The Home Depot, IKEA and Exxon-Mobil.

      The book contains perspectives of the firm's associates.

      The article notes:

      Let's get back to the positive, and that would be the innovative use of video deployed by Allen Matkins Leck Gamble Mallory & Natsis, a 240-attorney Los Angeles firm that focuses primarily (although not exclusively) on real estate law and business litigation. The partnership has produced several news- broadcast-style short videos that grab the attention of even the most cynical legal- marketing critic. The professionally crafted video news releases offer practical legal tips, interviews with experts, both legal and academic, lively caption and graphics, and are narrated by a former TV news reporter.

      While they promote the firm, they're not about the firm. The VNRs cover topics such as the future of the California commercial real estate market, the nuances of the Dodd-Frank legislation, new regulations that affect business owners, and other such matters.

      ...

      One of the most compelling videos shows Dr. Eileen Nottoli, an Allen Matkins envi-ronmental lawyer, serving a several-week stint as a foster parent for a guide dog for the blind while the Labrador's visually impaired human partner recuperates after surgery. Now, viewers learn primarily about the Lab and the idea of foster-parenting, but they also get more than a glimpse into Allen Matkins's community outreach efforts and well, frankly, its compassionate culture. After all, the dog spends his days with the very likeable Nottoli in the Allen Matkins offices in San Francisco.

      The article contains quotes from Adam Stock, Allen Matkins's chief marketing officer.

  • Delete for now. I thank Cunard for digging up those sources, but I'd point out to qualify as significant coverage, there has to be at least several independent, reliable, and comprehensive, if not exhaustive, works to establish notability under WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. I may change my vote, but for now, it's a delete, possibly a soft-ish delete, due its state as WP:CORPSPAM.

Blue–green alliance[edit]

This listicle is completely unsourced and fails WP:LISTN, as it consists of a bunch of unconnected examples of alliances between political parties of varying ideologies or single parties with a certain ideology. Blue-green as an overarching descriptor for a list is useless, since colors aren't consistently applied based on ideology. The lead itself mentions this, stating that blue could be either conservative or liberal or even a non-political organization (i.e. labor unions), or that blue-green could even be a description of a single party's ideology. Most of the entries in the list aren't actually described as "blue-green" in the media, some are described using other colors, and several entries are "blue-green" but have nothing to do with Green politics per se. I suppose an article could be constructed about conservative-green alliances or coalitions, or about conservative-Green parties, but I don't think that "blue-green" is where either of those should stand in an international context, and I don't believe that the current content - or lack of content - of this listicle is where either should start. ansh.666 18:33, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No, a coalition of a green party and a conservative party is not green conservatism. These examples tend to be more for convenience of forming a majority coalition rather than an ideological relationship. This is largely OR to lump these diverse international variations together in a single list without any sources presented discussing the topic of "blue-green" as a set. Reywas92Talk 00:06, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's poorly written and lacking sourcing, but the topic itself is notable and easily sourced. My university library contains 452 published sources that discuss the topic, including 60 peer reviewed journal articles. Ask me if you need examples, but there are so many it's unlikely WP:BEFORE was followed by the nominator.4meter4 (talk) 19:09, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This list indicates that the term is used, but to describe different coalitions. A green-labor coalition and green capitalism are not the same thing, and any article that tries to unite them is misplaced. There might be a place for an article on green-labor, and we already have an article on green conservatism, but combining them leaves nothing coherent, other than that green form coalitions, for which using the 'blue' color designator just confuses things due to the inconsistent color usage internationally (in other words, you could just as well describe the two as red-green alliances, depending on what country you were talking about). Agricolae (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @4meter4: The vast majority of the results in your sandbox (as well as my searches before nominating this article) refer to the BlueGreen Alliance, a U.S. organization which, in their own words, "unites America’s largest labor unions and its most influential environmental organizations". It has nothing to do with green conservatism or political coalitions. Please read the results you find next time. ansh.666 18:30, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - WP:OR. I don't see anything here that suggests this is a unified phenomenon, rather than just an obvious consequence of color-labeling of political parties. If you assign colors to parties, at some point, particularly in multi-party political environments where coalitions are common, the 'blue' party and the 'green' party are bound to end up together at some point, but the individual instances do not represent some broader pattern as appears to be portrayed here. This is highlighted by the fact that what political ideology is represented by 'blue' is polar opposite in different political traditions, so it doesn't even reflect the same kind of union. I don't doubt that one can document 'green' parties forming coalitions with 'blue' parties, but using the superficiality of color-labeling traditions to portray US labor-environmental coalitions as a flavour of the same phenomenon as 'green conservatism' obscures rather than illuminates, and I doubt there are any references that do this. Maybe a disambiguation page with links to the different coalitions that have been referred to as a 'blue-green alliance', but not an article that tries to unify them all.

  • Disambiguate into Green conservatism, Green capitalism, and other such movements; delete entries for individual groups except those that actually have this as the title (such as the BlueGreen Alliance, should it pass WP:N). This is obviously a viable search term and shouldn't be left red-linked, but having a full blown article here is content forking of not particularly connected topics (seeing as "blue" has no established worldwide political meaning).

No music releases as a group aside from being featured artists in one collaboration single and eventually debuted in Berryz Kobo and Cute (Japanese idol group).

  • Comment. @Lullabying: what policy based rationale are you using to justify deletion? I can't read Japanese, but if they pass WP:SIGCOV, it's likely they pass WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. In your other nomination at another article you admitted that there were enough articles in Japanese to pass WP:SIGCOV. If that is the case here as well, I suggest you withdraw your nomination. If a group has a charting single, chances are they are going to have enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. However, if they were not the main subject of the cited sources you can argue that they don't meet WP:SIGCOV and that would justify deletion. You really needed to give policy reasoning, especially since most commenters can read Japanese and we are relying on your evaluation of the sources in good faith. 4meter4 (talk) 18:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @4meter4: No charting singles were released under their name, hence failing WP:NMUSIC. This was a project group, but any charting singles/significant works were released under individual names or as other groups. lullabying (talk) 18:53, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Lullabying: That's a good rationale for an argument against meeting WP:NMUSIC, but it doesn't necessarily mean they fail WP:GNG if they meet WP:SIGCOV.

A fictional character should be judged by WP:GNG with sources that discuss the author's use of the character objectively.

  • Americana has published a good journal article that can be attributed to the It characters: [5]. It's Plot in Part I/Part II, but the intro/conclusion are analysis.
    Stronger subjects of analysis and what they represent are Eddie, Bill, Mike (no wiki article, though), and Audra (no wiki article again); while discussion is weaker for Richie, Ben, and Beverly, but all do come together as representations of Baby Boomers.

    These have potential, but I don't have access [6] [7]. -2pou (talk) 23:28, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Although 2pou has found one good independent source, the other articles are not able to be used toward verifiability because they are behind a paywall and even 2pou can not vouch that they are substantial. Therefore, still fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG. If an editor with access is able to confirm they are substantial refs about the character Eddie Kaspbrak (i.e. an original analysis and not a plot summary), I will gladly change my vote.4meter4 (talk) 01:39, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiability is not in question here - we are examining notability. Per WP:NEXIST it doesn't matter that the sources are not freely available online, we just have to demonstrate the existence of such sources. I have already given three sources above, but here is another one which you should be able to access sufficiently to see that the coverage is significant.----Pontificalibus 06:22, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I'm seeing very little but plot regurgitation in the article you just gave as supposed "significant coverage". I don't think it is. This is exactly why saying sources exist is not enough. At least one person (not all editors, since it is behind a pay wall) needs to actually look at it to determmine that it has some real analysis beyond plot regurgitation. That can be assumed in good faith. But if an offline source is not actually being seen by anyone, than it really can't be counted in good faith. "Imagining the Worst: Stephen King and the Representation of Women" for example doesn't even cover the work from which this character is from. Deletion is still the best option, as this collective group has only actually been able to read one good source.4meter4 (talk) 18:06, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to disregard that one source, fine, but as I said above, "Imagining the Worst: Stephen King and the Representation of Women" does cover the subject in detail, for example pages 131-132 go into detail about Eddie's relationship with his mother, and how the It monster symbolizes to Eddie his mother's relationship with him. This is clearly detailed analysis sufficient to pass WP:GNG. Likewise "The Dark Descent: Essays Defining Stephen King's Horrorscape" contains two pages of analysis, 150-151, which discuss how the author uses the character of Eddie to associate some of the major themes of the novel; sexuality and the link between obesity & death. It seems that the sources given by 2pou above contain similar if not more extensive coverage of the subject. There are really no grounds to delete this on the basis of notability or lack of sources. ----Pontificalibus 06:21, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think you missed something when looking at that particular source, 4meter4. It is listed in the works covered (third from last) in the summary. I'm guessing an easy miss since it's only 2 characters, but a search will show a few instances of "Eddie" or "Eddie Kaspbrak" clearly attributed to the It character. (Can't get a ton of context, but the 3 viewable page snippets appear to be somewhat significant.) -2pou (talk) 16:41, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Looks like they competed in the Maltese top division, at least once, way back in 1912–13, per EU-Football, but under the name "Vittoriosa Melita". I believe it's consensus to keep clubs that have played in the top level and/or national cup competition, per WP:FOOTYN#Club notability. Vittoriosa have also appeared in the FA Trophy, Malta's main cup, regularly; e.g. in 2018 here and here, with a future tie coming on 27 October here. They've been around since 1906 ([9], [10]), so certainly a case for there being pre-internet/offline sources out there. R96Skinner (talk) 14:20, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, let's test this one out. I don't believe this guy meets WP:POLITICIAN, on the basis of resigning from UKIP prior to the 2015 UK General Election. Apart from the fact he fell-out with UKIP there's very little of substance available about him in non-blog journalistic sources. He's now taking part in a new UK reality TV series, but generally known there as "Tim" whoused to be a monk and likes cats. The recent news about him largely repeats the fact he fell out with UKIP. He's not a notable academic and the animation award he received was minor. Sure, if he wins The Circle, maybe this will change things. He's otherwise likely to fall back into complete obscurity. I can't find anything in-depth to prove he meets WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 13:16, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Is he VERY notable? No. But somehow he's managed to stay in the news for years: 1 2 3 4. Easy pass for WP:BASIC. FOARP (talk) 18:18, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Brief mentions, all of them, apart from his profile for the reality TV show, which re-hashes the brief mentions. And we don't habitually write articles on everyone who takes part in reality TV. Sionk (talk) 19:28, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Brief mentions", Uh-huh. Every one of those articles was multiple paragraphs long and primarily about him, and was published in a WP:RS. No. 1 is a BBC article entitled "UKIP candidate quits party over Scottish MEP's 'Abu Hamza' remark" and is 3,193 characters long, all about Tim Wilson. No. 2 is a Lancashire Telegraph/AP story that is 2,866 characters long and again, almost entirely about Tim Wilson. No. 3 is a piece by Euromaidan Press, which qualifies as a WP:NEWSORG, 3,730 characters long and primarily about him. Finally no. 4 is a piece in the Independent 3,051 characters long and is again, entirely about him. That's four instances of significant coverage in four different reliable sources relating to three incidents over the course of four years. Very easy pass for WP:BASIC here. FOARP (talk) 16:49, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We clearly have widely different definitions. I'd disagree that the UKIP articles are primarily about Wilson, or even say that much about him. They're as much about UKIP, the Scottish MEP and Farage. We learn very little about Wilson. For any other person this would be a ONEEVENT scenario. The Euromaident article has aicture of him, but very little (a paragraph) is about him. I'm surprised the article has survived so long. But I can see the winds of change are against me here. Sionk (talk) 20:59, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This clearly isn't a WP:1E situation because there are multiple notable instances reported (quitting UKIP, the report on the RT interview incident, appearing on reality TV). Even if it was, WP:1E IS NOT a stand-alone WP:DELREASON, since the standard solution for WP:BLP1E is to merge/redirect to the appropriate article discussing the event, not delete. All four of the above reports are instances of WP:SIGCOV as they "address the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content" and are not trivial mentions. If I were you, with this AFD already deep in WP:SNOW territory, I would withdraw the nom, but that's up to you. FOARP (talk) 07:27, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This page will be needed as Tim is a major figure in The Circle (British series 2), he has received a lot of attention on social media and users will probably want to know about him.

  • Keep - Just the first page of a Google Books search shows multiple books which devote more than a paragraph to this song: The Routledge History of Social Protest in Popular Music, Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture, Mountains Come Out of the Sky: The Illustrated History of Prog Rock, Listening to the Future: The Time of Progressive Rock, 1968-1978. Plus it has significant coverage from websites like allmusic (which has a separate article for each part, e.g., [11], [12], [13], [14]), a few other online sources include this and this. Which is not surprising for a touchstone of prog rock. The current article may need better sourcing, but that sourcing exists. Rlendog (talk) 13:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

not not of the normal tests but the official tests of the championship plus they made them with the team press one of the most important teams in the field of the single-seaters where they raced drivers for example Charles Leclerc, in addition to this with the karts in course the world championship in the maximum KZ1 category, winning a race and competing both with the CRG official team and with the official Tony Kart team, who are the reference teams for world karting, so I think we can recognize that the driver in question is a professonist to all effects.Racingdark (Talk) 19:33 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Livia1256 (talk) 15:16, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's because Wikipedia articles are foremost based on WP:GNG -- multiple, reliable, independent, in-depth sources. What we need are sources that talk about the subject in-depth. All these articles fail this -- they talk about an event, a race, or only briefly mention the person and give no details. NMOTORSPORT is not the primary criteria. It explains this: "meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". It's very much possible for a person to win some major race, but have no significant source coverage. —  HELLKNOWZ   ▎TALK 16:32, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - this subject is a media outlet with national and international notability. Articles about it appear in national and international media.[1] [2] It published articles, which triggered resignations of four government ministers. If a media publishes an article, which triggers a resignation a few days later, it is notable. If it does in four times, it is more than notable. Moreover, based on the article in this media, the editor is being sued in court by the father of First Lady of the United States Melania Trump and the court process is ongoing. This media is very critical of the government and persons politically leaning towards government attempt to kill this Wikipedia page. User:Snowflake91 seems to be one of them. Snowflake91 claims that the editor is an "amateur journalist". The main editor was an editor-in-chief of daily Direkt,[3] owned by daily Dnevnik,[4] and before that a chief editor of Bulvar section in Slovenske novice,[5] at that time the newspaper with the largest circulation in the country.[6]He published a book Melania Trump: The Inside Story, depicting life of the First Lady of the United States when she still lived in Slovenia.[7] Over the past 48 hours, User:Snowflake91 attempted to delete more than half of the page several times, calling it crap, stupid, useless, unneeded, promotion, nonsense, yellow journalism, "no value of any kind", etc. I asked User:Snowflake91 to take his frustrations to the talk page and he keeps deleting sections of the page. Please someone warn him. nomos2019 (talk) 14:17, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That all makes Bojan Požar a notable person, but not his blog, which is a well-known in Slovenia for writting sensationalistic dubious news for clicks. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:52, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Two users have been in a continuous dispute over the past few days. It seems that Snowflake91 made intense editing today. Thank you for this edit. The page looks good now. It also shows notability. I googled the subject and both the subject (the website) and the editor are notable enough. Snowflake91, you are correct, the editor is notable enough to have own site on Wikipedia. Until there is no site about him, a paragraph about him can be merged into the Pozareport.si site.

  • Very weak keep I agree that there's some rather weak and coatrack-y claims to notability here - for one, attempted inherited notability from the founder (it don't work that way); for another, for most of the claimed whistleblower/investigative pieces, there's no actual proof that the reporting influenced the eventual outcome, and just reporting on something that's a big deal does not make the reporter notable (otherwise every sensationalist blog would pass muster). However, the court cases got some indisputable press. If it could be shown that the site's reporting has actually been independently acknowledged as driving the public/political outcome, then this would do - otherwise it seems very borderline. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:24, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's Filipino, so there might be non-English sources, but I've got nothing. The article is essientially unsourced, with only a press release, and even then the press release doesn't really support any of the content in the body. Only thing I can find as far as sources goes is two cringy advertorial pieces in the Philippine Star. Could possibly redirect to Viva Entertainment, but that's a big lump if sourceless cruft itself, and it doesn't appear that we currently have a reliable source connecting the two.

  • Keep - As noted above: International footballer for Bangladesh, so NFOOTY is passed. Young (16) and ongoing career, which has been enough for a keep (e.g. AfD/Tong Le - more out there) even if GNG isn't satisfied - which it arguably is: [32], [33], [34], [35].

  • Merge with OpenDocument as this defunct organization seems to have generated little press for standalone notability and is a WP:Permastub. I would agree with User:flowing dreams that a simple copy & paste merger would not work. I think some of the prose can just be cut out. I'm not sure the best way to handle the merger, but it could be done via seamlessly integrating one or more references to the organization into the OpenDocument prose or by cutting and rewriting the OpenDocument Foundation prose into a separate section called Defunct foundation (year-->year) or OpenDocument Foundation (year-->year), perhaps?

  • Why Voiculescu and Chelu are fighting over Lacta Giurgiu - "Businessmen Dan Voiculescu and Catalin Chelu have begun powerful buying sprees on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) for the shares of Lacta Giurgiu (INEM), one of the few independent dairy producers on a market expected to exceed €2 billion in the coming three years.";
  • This site states that the company's revenue was 7.5 million dollars, not 5 million;

The first comment above shows only that it is one of the 10 leading ones; were it the leading one in market share, it would in my opinion show notability , tho that is not a formal guideline.
The second implies it's minor--that the overall market is €2 billion, and there are only a few independents left, does not indicate that it or any of the independents ae of major significance
Whether the updated figure is $5 million or $ 7.5 million, it's trivial--especially as the preceding comment showed the overall market is on the order of a billion. That's less than 1% market share. DGG ( talk ) 01:22, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete None of the references (including the ones posted above) meet the criteria for establishing notability. Unless there are some analyst reports that covered this listed company behind paywalls, from what I can find there are no references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP.

  • Merge with List of ships attacked by Somali pirates in 2010. There is a small area under the listing of the ship in the January section where the information can go. This isn't notable to have its own stand alone article and would fit in well with the other article. Thanks, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 21:37, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Pearson plc. Note that once content is merged, the page history must be kept in some form to preserve attribution rights. czar 02:29, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree this is promotional and a large chunk of it is aWP:TNT case. Pearson plc is a notable company, but I don't think this grouping of companies once owned (apparently fairly briefly) by Pearson passes the bar of WP:NORG. SpinningSpark 23:02, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Pearson plc, though may not be a simple copy and paste merge. Some prose likely will need to be cut out and this should be added as a former business(es) section/sub-section. We should also indicate it was a division, not a subsidiary. Doug Mehus (talk) 14:49, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as above and then Delete this link. This topic was never notable and fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 11:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
HighKing, Agree with that. Consider that essentially my vote above. The ensuing redirect would not be particularly helpful. Doug Mehus (talk) 15:42, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
