Previously deleted 14 months ago (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Free Republic of Verdis), this micronation seems to have shrunk from 109 to 75 citizens in the meantime, while still not having accrued anything like sufficient coverage. (I don't know what the previous iteration looked like, so I'm not going to CSD G4) Sources consist of "governmental" material (4/10), press releases (3/10), a promo blurb, and the same RTL write-up twice. That's not getting anywhere near WP:GNG. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Speedy delete per G4 and salt due to the history at Free Republic of Verdis and Verdis. I was able to view the version deleted at AfD, and the recreated version offers no new sources that meaningfully contribute to notability. The Lika article is a duplicate of the RTL article which was in the article at the time of deletion and the remaining sources are the project's own website/social media and press releases.

- Redirect - I suggest just creating a redirect as approved a while ago by Spicy himself and Rosguill. I believe that although it may not be notable enough for an article now, it is at least notable enough for a redirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.150.36.255 (talk) 23:46, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete and no redirect. I don't see evidence this is more notable than an Illinois football player or an Idaho contractor. The "coverage" appears to just be press releases and their own website. power~enwiki (π, ν) 05:48, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

This is WP:RAWDATA; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia is not a directory of every album or song that has been recorded at any particular studio. There is no evidence that recording at this particular studio is a hugely notable distinction in the field of music that would warrant such an article. Many albums and songs have been recorded here. Some of them are notable. Some of them less so. It clearly isn't that much of an exclusive club. This list does not meet any purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP.

- Delete for the same reasons stated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of artists who have recorded at PatchWerk Recording Studios. This one is not even supported by references, meaning that someone felt the need to create a list for purposes of fan trivia. Okay, but such a thing does not belong on Wikipedia per the policies cited by the nominator. Put it on a fansite instead. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:35, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

- James L. Hall II (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Hello! On behalf of the company Salty and Mr. Hall, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I've nominated this pseudo-biography about a low-profile individual for deletion, per WP:BLP1E. I've completed a thorough review of available sourcing and determined that Mr. Hall is not eligible for a Wikipedia article at this time, per Wikipedia's guidelines on notability for people. Of the 12 citations in the current article, 9 point to Mr. Hall's official site, which fails reliable sourcing and cannot be used to establish notability under the basic criteria for people, and has been inactive since 2017. References #2 and #5 are primary sources as well, and #2 does not mention the subject. Reference #11 is the only citation that qualifies for inclusion. However, it does not qualify as significant coverage. None of the sources cited provide the type of in-depth coverage required for establishing notability, and the article's main focus is an allegation about something for which he was later cleared.
I performed searches for Mr. Hall on Google, Google News (and archive), and Google Books, using a variety of names he may be referenced with including "James L. Hall II", "James L. Hall", "James Hall", and "Jim Hall". All of these yielded very few or no results associated with James L. Hall II, so I continued to search by adding his various business associations. The only coverage I'm seeing specifically about the subject is this Deseret News article about the initial fraud accusation, which is already referenced above, and this follow-up piece from the same outlet after Mr. Hall was cleared of the charges. Neither source provides adequate biographical detail, whether considered on their own merits or in conjunction, to produce an article that would meet Wikipedia's standards. The fact that coverage of the case remained local further indicates that this subject should not have an article, per Wikipedia's policy on subjects notable only for one event. Other mentions of the subject found through searches are from primary sources that cannot be used to establish notability.
There's not enough coverage to flesh out a biography with details about his early life, education, career, personal life, etc. Coverage of Mr. Hall appears to be minimal, and entirely centered around a single event that was not widely covered. Per pseudo-biographies: "If the event itself is not notable enough for an article, and the person was noted only in connection with it, it's very likely that there is no reason to cover that person at all." I should also note, the article seems to have been created by a single purpose account back in 2011. I understand that my conflict-of-interest in bringing this article forward for deletion may cause skepticism, particularly because it involves a page with reference to a lawsuit. However, given the lack of reliable sources about the subject, Wikipedia's policy for people who are not public figures, and are accused of a crime, and previously cited policies, I cannot find any reason to keep this article.
I appreciate editors taking the time to review this deletion request. Inkian Jason (talk) 20:37, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment - Could be totally wrong, but if Mr. Hall has requested that this be deleted, doesn't the nominator link to that request? Also, Mr. Hall wasn't alleged to have committed fraud; he had a bench trial and was acquitted, according to this article (although several links are dead). I agree, though, that he seems to be a non-notable individual. Caro7200 (talk) 21:51, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Despite the coi and the subjects desire to remove the damaging information, I believe he is indeed not notable. The article can be deleted per WP:BIODEL, and as a WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Admins do need to take a closer look though. Less Unless (talk) 22:58, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete There are no claims of notability that would meet WP:GNG I also looked at a version of the article from a couple years ago, no claims of notability found. I did a google search and got lots of hits, but it is a common name. I did not find anything showing this person is notable. Jeepday (talk) 18:03, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:GNG, WP:SNOW, WP:OUTCOMES, and WP:BLP1E. I'm not sure why this page was created in the first place.

- Delete - As stated in my vote over at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of artists who have recorded at Abbey Road Studios, there seems to be a misperception about how recording at Abbey Road Studios is some sort of exclusive honor. But this list proves that the studio is a business and if someone pays then they're in. Walking in the door is not notable. This list may serve as interesting trivia for historians, but it belongs at a fansite and is too raw to function as a useful Wikipedia article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:20, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as article index complementary to Category:Albums recorded at Abbey Road Studios per NOTDUP and LISTPURP. We comprehensively categorize Category:Albums by recording location, and as we can see in Category:Albums recorded in the United States and Category:Albums recorded in the United States, we have plenty of subcategories for specific recording studios. No argument has been given to treat for treating this one differently. If it's WP:DEFINING enough to categorize, it's certainly important enough to list. The precedent the nom cites presented a very different relationship (musician to any studio they had used) than album to studio where it was recorded. postdlf (talk) 16:26, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- I have encountered this argument before. WP:NOTDUP says that a list should not be nominated for deletion simply because the topic is also represented by a category. That argument was not made in this nomination, which contends that the list article is deficient due to the cited rules for list articles. The above vote is almost entirely about the existence of the category, which is not being disputed. The argument that an unsatisfactory list article should be kept, because there is a also a category about the same thing, is unconvincing and also veers into bureaucratic thinking. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:53, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- To the contrary, I view it as holistic thinking. It doesn't make sense that we'd delete a list as "unsatisfactory" when it's organized around the same concept that we categorize the same listed albums by, particularly when it's part of a larger system of categorizing them. That also implies a broader consensus for this way of classifying albums, at least until a broader CFD establishes otherwise. An AFD that targets one list without regard to how this type of content as a whole is organized strikes me as bureaucratic instead; this forum is simply not a good one for making such decisions that affect lots of articles, because AFDs are binary in outcome and tend to be myopic in what is considered. postdlf (talk) 23:30, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- I appreciate your level-headed response and will simply agree to disagree. But I am also compelled to point out that there is a pretty large body of guidelines for list articles, many of which were cited by the nominator here with good reason. It appears that all those guidelines for the quality of list articles become pointless under this "holistic" approach toward listing and categorizing things. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- I also think this list is defensible without recourse to the category system, as per Technopat below. I may not have gone out of my way to contribute to it, but I certainly see no compelling reason to delete indexes of articles on notable albums by their shared recording locations, especially when that studio is itself notable. There is no requirement that lists be limited to "hugely notable distinctions", "exclusive clubs" or "exclusive honors". postdlf (talk) 20:43, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete, I agree with nom. that this is WP:RAWDATA. Alex-h (talk) 10:27, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. As creator of the list back in 2007, I specifically stated then that it was aimed at relieving "the main article page [...] of what is, in some cases, just PR hype for various artists who happen to have recorded there." This was the version of "Abbey Road" at that time. The fact that the current version, many years later, is very similar to that same PR-use of Wikipedia that I tried to pre-empt is but a sad reflection and suggests that more effort needs to be put into ensuring Wp articles are encyclopaedic rather than simply eliminating these here pesky lists (which, in themselves, are pretty harmless and certainly more “objective” and, therefore, less subject to PR-related creativity than many "encyclopaedic" articles).
As for this specific AfD, I’m afraid I have to disagree with the nominator’s final statement that the list does not meet any of the three purposes listed at WP:LISTPURP:
My understanding, as per my comments above, is that this list fully complies with each of the purposes. If I’m mistaken, please explain why this “list does not meet any purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP”.“Information: The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists.” Comment: The list is structured chronologically.
“Navigation: Lists which contain internally linked terms (i.e., wikilinks) serve, in aggregate, as natural tables of contents and indexes of Wikipedia… If users have some general idea of what they are looking for but do not know the specific terminology, they could browse the lists of basic topics and more comprehensive lists of topics, which in turn lead to most if not all of Wikipedia's lists, which in turn lead to related articles…”. Comment: “... which in turn lead to… which in turn lead to related articles...”
“Development: Some lists are useful for Wikipedia development purposes. The lists of related topics give an indication of the state of Wikipedia, the articles that have been written, and the articles that have yet to be written. However, as Wikipedia is optimized for readers over editors,…”. Comment: This list is “optimized for readers…”
Likewise, the nominator’s statement that “Wikipedia is not a directory of every album or song that has been recorded at any particular studio”; that’s evident. But the idea is that the list is made up of those recordings considered sufficiently notable to have a dedicated article at Wikipedia, which I consider a rule of thumb observed for many, if not most lists.
Regarding the statement that it is an “indiscriminate collection of info”, as the title very clearly states: this list is very specific (which means “not indiscriminate”). Any possible “indiscriminate” use that may stem from the fact that it is obviously open to future incorporations and/or items lacking. A “criticism” or, rather, fact easily applicable to just about any article at Wp, not to mention many of the lists here. The phrase “nothing is written in stone”, one of the great advantages to the whole Wikipedia “experience”, springs so easily to mind here.
As for the statement “there seems to be a misperception about how recording at Abbey Road Studios is some sort of exclusive honor”, where is any “exclusive honor” implied or stated in this list? If a recording is considered notable enough to be included here at Wikipedia, why should it not be included in a list? I really find it hard to be more factual/objective than providing a simple list, in this case, chronological, for simplicity.
I could continue answering more of the objections to keeping this list, but I fear I’ve used up more than my fair share of the space here, so will sign off here. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 20:30, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

This article has already been tagged for numerous writing problems, and the person who created it took the time to find a lot of "sources". The problem is that most of them are faulty. Many are event announcements in which the DJ is listed briefly as being present, some are about his larger music scene in which he is again listed briefly (or not at all), some are about people he collaborated with, and several are typical self-created listings at directory sites and streaming services. He seems to be a pretty good self promoter but I can find no significant and reliable coverage that is specifically about him in order to qualify for musical notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:58, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Reply - Requirement #8 at WP:NMUSICIAN says that the person could be notable if they won a major award. Therefore we must determine if the Angola Music Awards are a major and notable ceremony. This awards ceremony has no significant media coverage of its own, not even in Angola's media, and is only visible in its own social media sites or other minor chatter. The sources listed above are more of the same, as are most of the sources used at the ceremony's WP article. When DJEFF won that award, there was no reliable media coverage of his victory, the award itself, or he himself. Therefore it's not a major award under the cited requirement. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:30, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

I know that most (all?) editors don't agree with me that having a post office constitutes legal recognition, so please don't let this weak keep prevent deletion or merging. However, Killiondude's newspapers.com references are trivial, so this locale is lacking non-trivial coverage. GBooks indicates that Guernesey did have a library and there was a rail station, Gudde states that it first appeared on a railway map in 1902. I agree that people lived there, I'm just not seeing any form of notability yet. I'd like to see an article about the place, not a bunch of passing, trival references.

- Delete per WP:V if we want to have an article on a current or former settlement then we need to have a reliable source which says it's a current or former settlement. The GNIS is cited for this but it's not reliable. We can't infer the existence of a settlement from the fact that it had a library, or a station, or that it's mentioned as a place in newspapers - that's original research. Even if it is or was a community where people lived WP:GEOLAND only grants near-automatic notability to legally recognised populated places, and I don't see any evidence this is or was legally recognised. If it has never been legally recognised then it has to pass the WP:GNG, and it clearly doesn't. Hut 8.5 19:51, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

For the exact same reasons as at List of artists who have recorded at PatchWerk Recording Studios and List of artists who have performed at the Colston Hall; this is WP:RAWDATA; Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Wikipedia is not a directory of every band or singer that has played at any particular festival. There is no evidence that playing at this festival is a hugely notable distinction in the field of music that would warrant such an article. Many artists have played here. Some of them are notable. Some of them less so. It clearly isn't that much of an exclusive club. This list does not meet any purpose listed at WP:LISTPURP and as User:Doomsdayer520 said on a previous AfD, this is grouping people together for a reason that is not notable.
In my opinion, for a list like this to be worthy of inclusion, it would need to be something truly notable and exclusive like winning a Nobel Prize or an Academy Award; something in that sort of tier. Otherwise, we just end up with a ludicrously broad list of musicians with only a trivial connection. Spiderone 15:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

No hits on Google except wiki-type sites that probably mirrored the info from WP. The name brings up a lot of false positives (I think it means something like, "prayer practice"). I browsed Guyanese/Caribbean Islamic org websites (like CIOG or GITGY) for school listings, and also nothing. It could be a non-notable program within a school/mosque, but I couldn't find any clues for possible redirects. The "peacock pose" deleted from an early version makes me think if it DID exist that it's done and gone before they could even make a proper social media account.
I don't have easy access to the academic pay-sites, nor Arabic skills to see if it's of specific interest to the Muslim world- I'm happy to fix it up if there's anything, but I think this 10 year old orphan article with zero refs doesn't have much going for it.

Henry Award, was an early member of the Colorado Authors' League, and established a scholarship foundation that continues to this day. I linked to the NYT once on John's article, but he's mentioned at least two other times. 1. 2. Likely, these should be included in the article as well, but I'm unsure of how to incorporate them given that their content is behind a paywall. Likewise, his novel Seven Women gets mentioned in multiple sources, such as this journal and
this newspaper.I'm not entirely certain of the best way to incorporate these things, but they undoubtably help establish notability.

- I think there is a problem with the notability requirements for schools. I've seen notability tags removed purely on the basis of the subject being a secondary school; I've seen the opposite argument, that schools aren't inherently notable and need to satisfy WP:GNG and/or WP:ORG. My reading of WP:NSCHOOL is that the latter is true, but the situation is far from clear, and the guidelines aren't being applied or enforced consistently. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:15, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

KeepSpeedy keep. It's customary practice in Wikipedia to create articles for next elections whenever there is information available for them, and in this case there is (i.e. opinion polling). The article passes WP:CRYSTAL, because of it being a notable event that is almost certain to take place (unless you crystal-ball yourself another unlikely, cataclismic event that prevents the election from being held at all); because all of the information sourced within the article being verifiable; and because no attempt is being made at predicting or presuming the future. It would be like arguing that 2024 United States presidential election goes against CRYSTAL because of it being four years away in time, despite it being explicitly shown as one example of what WP:CRYSTAL is not. There is even a specific naming convention explicitly regulating such articles:For future elections of uncertain date, use a form similar to Next Irish general election.
- Also note that this is not the first case of a "next" election article being proposed for AfD: past precedent shows that these are typically kept because of the aforementioned reasons: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. It should (and likely will) end up the same way here. Impru20talk 09:58, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete or rather wait until the election is being discussed and create a spcific dated page at that point namedl 2023 New Zealand general election. If this was notible now there would be reliable sources discussing it there isn't at least not within the current article. The article currently lists parties and individuals and it is purely crystal ball gazing to assume this detail has anything to do with the next election. The event is currenly unplanned with no date so does not pass WP:CRYSTAL. Andrewgprout (talk) 12:49, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- You are the nominator. You can't post a separate delete !vote, since it's assumed your nomination counts as such. Plus, you have not even cared to refute any of the evidence that I (or Number 57 for that matter) presented against your case, nor seem to provide a clear reasoning as to why this article constitutes CRYSTAL other than "the event is currently unplanned" or that it is "not dated", which shows a misconception on how CRYSTAL actually works (the policy explicitly states that
Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place. Dates are not definite until the event actually takes place.
It means that you can create articles on foreseeable future events that are notable and almost certain to take place. It's not an entitlement to delete an article on a future event just because the exact date is not yet determined. Please care to read the policy before building an argument out of that).

- Alternatively, you hint at us somehow needing to wait until 2023 for this article to be created, entirely ruling out the perfectly legal possibility of a snap election taking place at some point earlier on.

See Next United Kingdom general election, Next Spanish general election, Next Italian general election, Next Japanese general election, Next Australian federal election. Opinion polling is already available for the election, so there is information specific to it available.

- Speedy keep Obviously. This is standard practice for elections. Googling "2023 New Zealand election" brings up quite a few articles of post-election analysis by media and what the stakes might be in 3 years time. Everything is sourced and the only CRYSTAL is the nominator thinking somehow there won't be a "next" election. Nixinova T C 19:35, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep as is standard practice for future elections (e.g. the American 2024 elections which are even further into the future). As an upcoming election it is already being polled. The procedure for settling the date and conduct of the election is established relevant information. Sjakkalle (Check!) 20:22, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - I do not think his political career meets notability requirements.

- Delete. People don't get articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding office, not just running for it — but this neither demonstrates nor sources any strong evidence that he has preexisting notability for other reasons independent of the candidacy, and also fails to demonstrate a credible reason why his candidacy might have been more notable than the norm.

- Delete. I could find no "significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability." so it does not meet WP:NBUILDING criteria for buildings. Searching Newspapers.com for 1150 K Street found nothing. GBooks returns a couple of trivial hits, one for a work of fiction, the other for a lobbying organization. My guess is that this article was added because the building was listed in the List of tallest buildings in Washington, D.C.. However, the citation supporting the height of this building is not a WP:RS source. Just because there is a website that states that the building is of a certain height that make it one of two buildings that are the 17th tallest in the city does not confer notability. Other buildings listed in List of tallest buildings in Washington, D.C. should probably be reviewed for notability. The Watergate Hotel, this ain't. Cxbrx (talk) 16:30, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

This one was brought up back in the 2009 discussion that originally questioned the mass-production of CA places. Although the original version of "unincorporated community" was soon changed to "locality" per Durham, GMaps doesn't show much of interest, and the topo suggests the Dinsmore family lived there (top left), labeled in the same font as "Ridge Cabin" to the east and "Deer Creek Ranch" to the south.

- Delete - I think at this point we can simply call WP:TNT on all of Carlossuarez46's 2009 California articles which are referenced only to GNIS/Durham. The essence of a TNT situation is:
"if the article's content is useless (including all the versions in history) but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article. If you keep the article, then you're keeping something of no value until someone replaces it with something of value, when people tend to be more inclined to fill red links"
. This is clearly that kind of situation - these articles exist, which dissuades anyone from creating them in better form, but they are also garbage, with probably at most 1-in-20 being a WP:GEOLAND pass and then only with detailed research for each one of those 20. GNIS is a bad source, and Durham may be a good source but it has not been cited correctly whenever it has been checked (i.e., the locales it is being referenced for aren't communities that were ever inhabited). Much better for the project to delete all and then recreate the ones that can be recreated. Reywas92, Cxbrx,Hog Farm, Mangoe (users pinged as they have all recently contributed in AFDs involving California locales only sourced to GNIS/Durham) - I would support simply adding all of these California location articles that are cited only to GNIS/Durham and TNTing them in one go rather than separately PROD/AFD for each one.

- I think reasonable criteria for WP:TNT would be articles articles with the following characteristics:
- Have only a Durham citation and do not appear in GNIS and do not appear in ghosttowns.com. These are almost certainly not notable.
- Have only Durham and GNIS citations and do not appear in ghosttowns.com. These are probably not notable.
- In the above list, I'd like to keep Coso (former settlement), California because I found a reference (which I just added) that includes a bit of text and some photos.

Cordua Bar, California's source under the Timbuctoo entry on page 568 says "Cordua Bar, named in 1848 for Theodore Cordua, who kept a trading post there, was on the north bank of of Yuba River."

Blinzing, California is actually "Blinzig" in Durham, which calls it a "locality", and says "From 1909 until 1912 this place was a railroad siding that served Camp Enjoyment..." This was misrepresented as "its railroad station served..." It did not have a station, it was the station, as the topo (using "Blinzig") makes clear!

- Delete all Durham-only entries excluding the ghosttown.com cases. I haven't worked much with the former populated places, but when I have, the ones I have done sourced only to Durham have universally turned out to be a frustrating waste of time to attempt to verify. And even for real settlements, listing in a single omnium gatherum work just does not satisfy WP:GNG, and that's before the recent revelation that Durham's classification has been consistently misrepresented and that most of these are just place names that aren't even on a map.

This article fails WP:INHERENTWEB. Gachangi (talk) 03:34, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Gachangi has been involved in significant edits and promotion of the page James Mwangi which has some recent edits (from Business Today (Kenya)) that have been used to cite sexual assault allegations against James mwangi. Sources such as this describe notability of the editor luke. Gachangi is attempting to use this afd to fight sexual assault allegations against james mwangi. As per the specific edits on James mwangi: sources are clearly reliable and in a neutral point of view. Case in point, Esther passaris who claims she was assaulted by James Mwangi gave an interview to news sites directly e.g. Tuko news and Nairobi news of nation.africa. Then there are also allegations of land grabbing which are part of the edits on James Mwangi. Business today reported a story based on actual court records. This nomination to delete business today page is not in good faith as there are clearly other sources that make this news site valid. A news website cannot honestly be making news elsewhere except the editor whose notability can clearly be established.Gachangi is using this afd to fight off sexual assault and land grabbing claims against James Mwangi that are clearly well sourced and cited by business today. Business today wrote the story based on actual court records which are valid sources on wikipedia.

- keep but update: blog constitutes opinion work by professional writer who is an editor with a reputation for opinion work.see 1, 2, 3 and 4 5,6. Sources 5 and 6 mention editor plus business today. As per WP:NEWSBLOG this cannot be subjected to larger news organization review process. Operation is smaller and notable to pass WP:GNG lamely specifically in cases where editor has been mentioned and business today mentioned too(although minute). Business today plus the minor mentions, the awards and the editor qualify to keep article for a blog type of operation. This is mainly because this editorial work plus minor mentions can pass for oversight and fact checking for a smaller blog operation as per WP:SOURCE. The blog is regularly updated with relevant news and has been referenced by a number of notable corporates in kenya. It wouldn't be practical for the site to be making the news in other competing news sites with larger operations.-2C0F:FE38:2324:76E:1:0:A969:264B (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

- Leaning Keep. This is a tough one... It appears that several notable works somewhat rely on this website for their distribution. There are mentions of the site all over the internet regarding where to find certain published pieces, but there isn't much (readily available, at least) describing the history of the site and its establishment, etc. Since WP:NOTINHERITED is not a policy I'm going to lean keep. Although it did not win, the Hugo nomination is significant. Locus reported that they won a FAAn award for best website in 2018 and 2017. Hard to say how significant that is, but looking into the history of it here, it looks like this site has won that award so frequently, they withdrew from the category after receiving a special recognition. It's clearly niche, but it seems pretty notable within that niche—enough so for my !vote, at least. -2pou (talk) 00:23, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - not a valid reason for AfD. Histmerge should be done between this article and the draft. Onel5969 TT me 15:44, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, possibly speedily. Topic is notable and nominator does not provide a valid rationale for deletion. The draftspace version was indeed created first, but that doesn't mean that its author has "first dibs" on having their preferred version of the mainspace article in place, whatever form that may take. Note that the draft author Unknownnreasonn had previously tagged the mainspace article more than once for both speedy deletion (for reasons similar to the above, reverted because this is emphatically not a valid CSD rationale either) and for AfD (reverted because necessary followup steps were not done). All parties are reminded that Wikipedia is a collaborative project, not a battleground, and that the proper course of action is to discuss possible changes or compromises on the article's talk page rather than trying to get the "other guy's" version of the article rejected outright. --Finngall talk 18:12, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Weak Delete as Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and failure to satisfy television notability.
- There are conduct issues and content issues here, but AFD is a content forum.
- This is a future television series. It does not satisfy general notability, and does not satisfy television notability because it does not have reception information (and won't for a week).
- The best action would be to Draftify, but there is already a draft.
- It appears, as noted by User:Finngall, that there is a race between two editors to get credit for the article, and both editors have made a false start in the race.
- Both editors should be warned, but this is a content forum.
- User:Onel5969 says that a history merge is in order. That is probably true, but the history-merged page should then be in draft space until the show airs.
- The nominator has not made a case for deletion, but there is a policy-based case why this should not be in article space until the show airs. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:50, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Robert McClenon, Don't disagree with your rationale, however, with an air date less than 4 days away, just felt that the 7 days of the AfD would not expire before the reason to draft was no longer valid. Onel5969 TT me 17:55, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I hope I will get justice!! With regards Unknownnreasonn (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Unknownnreasonn: What we want is for the article to be of the highest quality possible, regardless of who is editing it. Dramadevil may have jumped the queue in this case, but in the end what matters here is encyclopedic content, not "justice". Neither you nor they "own" the article, and from what I see there are elements of your draft which can be incorporated into the mainspace version to improve it without throwing it out completely. Other editors may do this, and/or they may make their own improvements or additions. That's how Wikipedia works. Please understand and accept the advice from the more experienced editors who have taken the time to comment here, and do not hesitate to ask further questions. Thank you. --Finngall talk 19:51, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

- @Unknownnreasonn: There's not a lot inherently wrong with having two versions, but it's preferable to have just one. Admins can merge the histories of the two versions so that all edits to both appear on a single version of the article, so that the full history is available. --Finngall talk 17:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. It took me some time to make that decision, because their early embrace of the internet and the now faintly comic attempt to "game" the streaming charts before streaming really took off (heavens - now, it would be attempting to game the much-diminished download market), do at least give a hint of notability. But on balance I don't think these are quite enough. RobinCarmody (talk) 00:10, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

We were featured twice in X Magazine, and did a couple of Breakout Act interviews for Melody Maker. It was never more than a page but it was constant. Did a student radio tour so should be in quite a few student mags from the time. I will look and see if I can add references over the weekend if you can give me some grace time.

- Delete. I'm simply not seeing enough coverage to show that this band meets WP:GNG. The current sourcing in the article is mostly unusable, and I've been unable to find anything better. The current article has 13 sources in it, which consist of:
- A dead link to an MTV artist profile
- A dead link to a BBC music profile
- A Brunel university student newspaper, reporting on a Brunel university student band. This source is not independent of the subject and is probably not the most reliable reporting
- A short interview about a project Sarah was doing in Chile. Since this was published by an official Chilean website it is likely not independent, as the project was funded by the Chilean government
- A link to buy their EP on amazon
- A dead link to a BBC video on the launch of the UK streaming chart, which seems to have no relation to Flightside
- A random link to Deezer, no idea what it's doing there
- A Facebook post that is unrelated to Flightside
- A dead link to the bands own website
- A dead yahoo news link, which I thought would be a useable source but appears to actually be a reprint of this paid press release from prweb.com
- Musicbrainz, unreliable user generated content
- Musicbrainz again
- Another amazon link to buy their EP
- Nothing here appears to be substantial, reliable, independent coverage. I've searched but been unable to find anything better. Since the Newspaper sources mentioned by the IP above haven't been added to the article it would appear that coverage of this band simply does not exist. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 18:41, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

This spot doesn't appear on topos until fairly late, I'm guessing mostly because they hadn't been updated. At any rate, it's exactly as the first GBooks hit on the name describes it: "a point on the Sacramento Northern Railway less than a mile east of Colusa". And that's what the topos show: a spur into some manufacturing concern, by that point sitting on the eastern edge of town. It's obvious this was never a settlement.

- Delete - Note to closer, this article is part of a campaign of making many, many junk articles that the author carried out in 2009. They are all cited to GNIS (a bad source) and Durham (a potentially good source, but they've ignored how Durham actually describes these locations). We're ~300 AFDs in with thousands left to go. There is no need to relist these AFDs if they've received a delete !vote and doing so is just going to clog up AFD with relistings. FOARP (talk) 12:51, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- In all fairness, back a decade ago it probably seemed like a good idea to make a lot of articles from what seemed at the time to be reliable sources. The problem is with the follow-through: in the end, someone has to go through and take all these stubs and try to turn them into something substantial—or try to get rid of them. Either way, a lot of work is involved, which was sloughed onto someone else. Mangoe (talk) 15:32, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- I don't know about that Mangoe, the author in question had already been an admin for two years at the time they made this article (their RFA was in 2007) and carried on making articles like them until ~last year. It was pointed out at the time to them that GNIS was not a great source. I assume making thousands of articles like this was good faith at the start but we've ended up with counties in California with 3 times more "ghost towns" (in reality, "never-were towns") than inhabited locations - surely they should have realised at some point that this wasn't a good idea? I guess that's all water under the bridge at this point though, and you're right that they've basically sloughed all this work off onto other people and now we have to deal with it. My proposal is to apply WP:TNT to the worst of these articles (i.e., the ones that are GNIS/Durham only) since this is basically the epitome of a TNT situation - rescuing anything from these articles is way more work than just deleting the lot and recreating the few that might be worth recreating (assuming there are any).

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
In short, I believe this article currently fails WP:NOTABILITY because it is WP:TOOSOON.
The article currently statisfies the following criteria:
- It is verifyable, as the sources that are referenced are considered reliable by WikiProject Eurovison.
- It is very likely to take place because it's a recurring event and two countries have already confirmed their participation, although of course that's not a guarantee (see the Eurovision Song Contest 2020).
- It does not contain original research or other content that would warrant deletion.
However, I believe that the 2021 edition of the contest has not received significant coverage from independent sources. Most coverage is currently about the 2020 edition which happened last Sunday, and only a few Eurovision-centric sources are reporting about the next contest (for example, take a look at the references section; it is almost entirely Eurovoix).
The lack of significant coverage is also evident from the fact that the article is very empty; it only contains a small bit about the host country, and a few countries that intend to participate. However, that's of course not a criterion for WP:TOOSOON.
I already had a discussion about this yesterday on the article's talk page, but it did not have a resolution. ―JochemvanHees (talk) 15:36, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Now that the host country has been announced, it should definitely be kept in the mainspace. The article is well-sourced and substantial enough to be kept.

- Draftify: Agree with Grk1011, moving into a draft space is probably the best solution and outright deletion will most likely result in subsequent creation and discussion. I am not disputing the reliability of sources or notability of the event, but there is very little information out there on this at the moment beyond the reveal of the host country (notably without city or venue details) and these details are also already covered on the main JESC article.

A bit unsure about this one. On one hand, the company's and/or the founder's main claim to fame is their Twitter hack, which was indeed well covered by UK media at the time. That seems like WP:ONEEVENT, though, and possibly WP:ILLCON. Other than that, I think this fails WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:GNG. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:15, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

- Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP.

The short, contrived name suggests a rail spot, and that's indeed what it is. Regulatory records mention a Graino Warehouse Co. (address in nearby Grimes) and discuss a loading facility at Graino, which his consistent with the topos. But there's no sign of a town, and there's not even a public road to the place, which lies between a orchard and farm fields. Mangoe (talk) 16:16, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
His two minutes of professional football in League Two for Kidderminster means that he technically passes WP:NFOOTBALL. I have struggled to find anything that amounts to WP:GNG coverage and have searched his name in connection with all of the clubs that he has played for in non-league. The coverage is all local and just routine mentions in match reports [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]. He appears to now be an U21 coach for Boldmere St. Michaels F.C. as per [17]. There is growing consensus that a borderline NFOOTBALL pass is insufficient when GNG is comprehensively failed.
In terms of WP:ATD, this could be redirected but I'm not sure where. Spiderone 17:39, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

There would usually need to be at least a suggestion that the footballer can meet GNG. Spiderone 12:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep It's better to have a complete set of articles here for WP:NFOOTBALL than maintain a complete set on another site and a separate incomplete set here.

- At the very top of WP:NFOOTBALL, it says This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sports person or sports league/organization (amateur or professional) is likely to meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia.

Another person who technically meets WP:NFOOTBALL because he made a one minute cameo in the old Third Division for Halifax and then faded into complete obscurity after. He does have some coverage post-retirement as he was recently appointed fitness coach at Ipswich. Being a fitness coach at a notable club doesn't make you notable, though, and I don't think the sourcing is enough for WP:GNG.

Back to this specific honorific titular award, a simple search WP:BEFORE would have surfaced an abundance of material. Furthermore, The Hindu calls this award Carnatic Music's Nobel Prize.[[21].

- Weak Keep - It is necessary to separate content issues from conduct issues. Deletion is a content issue, and turns on notability guidelines.
- It appears that the subject has made one appearance in a fully professional game, and that is sufficient.
- Articles have been deleted three times:
- A7
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ishan Pandita (2nd nomination).
- Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ishan Pandita (3rd nomination).
- It appears that he may not have played in a fully professional game at the time of the third deletion discussion, so that the close as Delete was correct, but is no longer governing.
- I do not like the subordination of special notability guidelines to the general notability guideline. I am aware that I have a minority view. It is my view that special notability guidelines, which are mostly objective, are to be preferred over general notability, which is vague and leads to contentious AFDs and contentious Deletion Reviews. However, I will address both special notability and general notability.
- This appears to be a case where ultras are carrying their fanatical support into Wikipedia. Ultras can be disruptive at football matches and can be disruptive in Wikipedia.
- The conduct of the fans should not affect the outcome of a content debate.
- There are occasionally cases where there has been so much support for someone outside of Wikipedia that it makes them famous for being famous, and that should satisfy general notability for those of us who do not like general notability.
- The subject marginally satisfies association football notability, and marginally satisfies general notability, in spite of the conduct of the ultras.

- Keep Subject is 22 years old and has made his professsional debut in a fully professional league on 30th Nov 2020 that is 3 days ago and is currently playing and passes WP:NFOOTY.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 16:43, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep - he has only just qualified for NFOOTBALL so consensus has generally been that we keep such articles as there is a reasonable potential for them to make further appearances. If, however, we revisit this in, say, 5 years and they have not made any other appearances then there should be no prejudice in this going through AfD again Spiderone 17:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep - in fact the weakest of keeps. He marginally passes WP:NFOOTY since he has played two minutes in an FPL at this point but he is on the active squad list and may break through that ceiling at any time - if someone looks at this in a few years and he's out of football and hasn't played another game, this would be a strong delete, which I know isn't really how this works but seems to be the best way to approach this for now.

- Keep, generally speaking, the exception to NFOOTY in the case of footballers who played only part of one game ages ago is because they will clearly never play at a professional level again, this person is still close to the start of their career, and therefore keeping the article is preferable for now.

Only claim to notability is from technically passing WP:NFOOTBALL for playing 8 minutes of professional football for Mansfield - cut short due to getting two very quick yellow cards. As interesting as this is, I only found routine coverage of his debut and almost nothing on his subsequent non-league career. I could find no evidence of being able to pass WP:GNG. Almost a carbon copy of Wayne Stark who also made just one appearance for the same club. Spiderone 21:58, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Not notable in the large-scale encyclopaedic context: he would fit on a specialist Fandom site but not here. (Should note that I cannot find an "Andy Stuart Jones" - it has never been common as a given name in its own right - on Find My Past for 1986 but can find an "Andrew Stuart M Jones" born in Mansfield who I assume is him. Not that that matters because the lack of notability surely will be obvious.) RobinCarmody (talk) 23:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete As per nom. Priyanjali singh (talk) 13:35, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. There are more Mansfield player articles like Stark and this. I declined to nominate those who had at least featured for another club. But they don't really warrant an encyclopedia entry. Geschichte (talk) 07:33, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep It's better to have a complete set of articles here for WP:NFOOTBALL than maintain a complete set on another site and a separate incomplete set here. Subject-specific guidelines are more important than WP:GNG as a reason to delete an article, there's no reason to say they shouldn't be as a reason to keep an article.

A 1922 Ca.

(The larger is a thousand feet long.) What they don't show, nor any other image, is anything else there. It's just another in a long series of shipping points, not a town.

- Delete - Note to any closer tempted to relist: look at the many, many, many other AFDs that are related to the same author using the same sources (GNIS/Durham - GNIS is a bad source, Durham might be a good source but the person who created these articles is simply ignoring how Durham describes them, e.g., listing sidings and summits as settlements) to create WP:GEOLAND failing articles during the same period in 2009 and ask whether this really needs another week. These articles are clearly in WP:TNT territory. FOARP (talk) 12:42, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
- Speedy delete Mass-producer negligently misrepresented the source: Durham says "locality: 3.25 miles north-northwest of Dunnigan along Southern Pacific Railroad", not that it is a notable community or settlement, as is obvious on the maps. Reywas92Talk 00:14, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

- Comment Maybe passes WP:SOLDIER as the air mission commander on the operation that netted #2 and #3 in the famous Most-wanted Iraqi deck of cards? WP:AUTHOR: Cannot find reviews of his books that are not by the publisher, a bookseller or the author. WP:NSPORT: was a world champion archer. Also, while I accept the nom's comment about there being other Jimmy Blackmons, I am still inclined to believe that the JFBlackmon who wrote the article is the same one as the subject.

- Delete Vanity article with only primary sources and not enough of even them (the few secondary ones don't seem to support anything relevant). Besides, this has so many issues that I wouldn't know where to begin, other than by TNT'ing it and starting from scratch. And to pick up on an earlier point about this person's military record satisfying notability, that could be the case, but even then it would barely warrant a paragraph or two, not this epic. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:18, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I came across this via WP:THQ#Jimmy Blackmon Page Editing Feedback and did some rudimentary cleanup, but the entire article has the feel of a PR release and probably needs to be re-written from scratch with lots of trimming done and more reliable sources cited. It seems like this might be a case of WP:NEXIST since the subject appears (at first read) to meet WP:NSOLDIER for at least a stub, but again lots of PR speak would need to be removed. There are also WP:AUTO/WP:COI concerns, but those can be resolved separately if the consensus is that the subject is notable. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:35, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
