Fails notability guidelines at WP:NBUILDING. Mere existence doesn't prove notability nor does the fact that notable subjects once performed there. A Google news search has zero hits and, since it no longer exist, future notability is unlikely. Ifnord (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable local politician. Google search shows no notability and basically unknown outside of his own county. Does not meet WP:NPOL. Article seems to have been created as the subject is running for office, which is not notable in itself. Also suspiciously WP:COI. Serhatserhatserhat (talk) 22:34, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Aside from the fact that the content is so obviously and overtly promotional, the subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. On the latter, the subject has never held national or similar office (only very recently being elected to a local council). On the former, the only coverage of the subject is the run-of-the-mill coverage about his candidacy in the pending general election. The only material coverage is the relatively limited coverage that is already linked in the article. (Much of which, frankly, appears to have been copy/pasted into Wikipedia without consideration to WP:COPYVIO or WP:CLOP guidelines. To the extent that, in honesty, this could likely have been speedy deleted under WP:G11 (as unambiguous promotion) or WP:G12 (as clear copyvio of the few local news pieces upon which it is based).) Guliolopez (talk) 23:42, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update - While I found it very odd that a new editor would give a barnstar/wikilove to an editor (with whom they had absolutely no overlap and who has been inactive on the project for a decade), I hadn't referred to the author's odd editing patterns or COI concerns (raised by the nominator) in my note above. That the author has since expressed a connection to the subject seems relevant to this thread. Certainly it has cemented my own concerns and recommendation. Which remains a firm "delete". Guliolopez (talk) 01:02, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Nothing against the subject, just to be clear, but serving on a county council is not in and of itself grounds for a Wikipedia article — in Ireland, unfortunately, the only politicians who get a guaranteed pass of WP:NPOL just for the fact of holding political office are actual Teachtaí Dála. For politicians at the local level of office, including county councillors, the notability test is not just the ability to verify that he exists, but the ability to write a really substantial article that reliably sources some genuine context for his political importance, e.g. by demonstrating that he has much more nationalized significance than the norm for county councillors. But the county council's own self-published website about itself, a piece of raw technical verification of election results and a tiny smattering of purely local campaign coverage in the local media is not enough sourcing to do that.

  • Delete - I would say clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN (and the WP position on county councillors in Ireland, who have very little real power, is well established) and also WP:GNG. I cannot comment without study on the inter-editor or CoI aspects, but I think we have a clear case of promo risk, especially in an election period. Basic searches do not suggest any easy improvement potential in the situation.SeoR (talk) 13:42, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wexford County Councillor. County councilmembers are not afforded the presumption of notability under WP:NPOL. Bearcat says it best about when a local elected official is able to demonstrate an article is appropriate. --Enos733 (talk) 18:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:POLOUTCOMES, and as follows. We almost always delete local officials as run of the mill and failing our particular standards. It's extremely unlikely that this hard-fought consensus will change before the upcoming 2020 election, for which he's a third party candidate. Sure, it's possible he could win, although my intuition doesn't carry me that far. Finally, he fails the prof test as a teacher at a vocational school.

Article about footballer who made a single 74th-minute substitute's appearance in a Belarusian Premier League match, and otherwise has only played in amateur or semi-pro football leagues. There is no significant coverage of this footballer (not if you filter out Yevgeni Nosov (writer)) in online English- or Russian-language sources (just database entries, match reports and transfer announcements, e.g., [1]). There is long-standing consensus that a nominal amount of play in a fully-pro league doesn't justify the presumption of notability in WP:NFOOTBALL when there is a comprehensive WP:GNG failure - as there is here.Jogurney (talk) 22:28, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of notability. Cited only to "Ordnance Survey get-a-map SW4073635469" but WP:NGEO says "This guideline specifically excludes maps and census tables from consideration when establishing topic notability, because these sources often establish little except the existence of the subject."

  • Keep A hamlet, a populated place that passes WP:GEOLAND as I stated here. The current state of sourcing in the article is irrelevant.----Pontificalibus 17:51, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • As Rusf10 notes, hamlet is a vague term that can just be a synonym for a homestead or farm, home to just a landowner and workers. "Legal recognition" is also vague but this isn't a town or village as geoland implies – I think a good WP:PRESERVE would be a merge to the civil parish of Morvah that it's in. Reywas92Talk 19:48, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteFarms certainly do not auto-pass WP:GEOLAND. Even if it was a hamlet as claimed, this does not change anything as it would fall under "Populated places without legal recognition" which do not get auto-notability either. Also according to Hamlet (place), a hamlet in the UK could be nothing more than a house.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:24, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It obviously consists of more than one house in the present day, if anyone would think of looking around, so it's no surprise that sources claim it is a hamlet and/or village.----Pontificalibus 07:56, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Morvah. It's mentioned as a hamlet back in 1745. As such, I wouldn't classify this as a populated place under GEOLAND#1, but an informal populated place under GEOLAND#2. As such, there is not enough known info to meet GNG or develop and article. It should be mentioned in the article on the recognized populated place in which it is located. MB 02:22, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Examples of "Populated places without legal recognition" are given as "subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods", which clearly is not intended to encompass discrete named settlements with hundreds of years of history of occupation.----Pontificalibus 07:56, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I equate "hamlet" with "informal region"; legally recognized means some formal legal standing, like having a local administration (government). A village usually has a governing body. But a hamlet is just a small grouping of houses. MB 20:05, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's an unusual interpretation of "legally recognized". Normally it means "recognized in law", the test being a notional court case where a judge is asked whether this is a populated place in its own right, or merely a part of some other place. If the GEOLAND guidelines intended that notability required a local administration then they would state that (I would note that with the advent of unitary authorities of England there are even large cities in England that lack their own administration). Hamlets have long been recognised in common law as populated places in their own right, for example here where unlike villages they are not required to repair highways.---Pontificalibus 07:35, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It was and is an actual and distinctive population population center and as such this falls under GEOLAND. That it's since been technically absorbed into the modern municipality of Movrah doesn't negate that. Oakshade (talk) 02:37, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Seems pretty clear from the sources and a quick search on Google Books that this is a place that is distinct from Morvah. Iffy on a merge, but absolutely not a delete. SportingFlyer T·C 13:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The OS classifies it as a settlement but the consensus appears that being an OS settlement isn't enough so if its not deemed notable then redirecting to Morvah seems reasonable as its CP. Crouch, Swale (talk) 11:00, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to Morvah. What I'm working with is in WP:GEOLAND: "Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low." Key word being legally recognized. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a case for legal recognition, which means it falls under WP:GNG - and I'm afraid I'm not seeing enough to allow the article to stand on its own, but the content seems to be mergable into the root article for Morvah. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: In my opinion, being the source of a name of something does not create notability for the original source itself.

It is hard to keep tax articles updated on WP (I have done several); in most cases, it is better to consolidate into the larger "head articles" rather than have individual sub-artices (and also avoids WP:FORKING).

Oppose: True the page needs references, dating from a period before this was the norm. However, whilst it is a specific form of Left-wing nationalism, it is completely distinct from the Marxist-leninist concept of Socialist patriotism, and thus is in no way accurately described by tither of these terms. It is notable as a specific term used in the debates which arose following the splits in the Socialist International during and following the First World war, and should not be reduced to more general terms such as social chauvinism.Leutha (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

List of REITs in Canada[edit]

List of REITs in Canada (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unmaintained list of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in Canada with little to no context as to how this list of REITs is significant, what they own, when they were established, or really anything. Most of the list is just a copy+paste dump from the Toronto Stock Exchange indices' lists, including even the section headers. As such, per WP:NOTDIR, this unmaintained list seems rather CRUFTy and, though Wikipedia notionally has "no deadlines," the lack of maintenance in keeping the article up-to-date (or even of an encyclopedic quality) is problematic in that (a) it is dispensing inaccurate information which, in turn, (b) reflects poorly on the encyclopedia. I see no benefit to keeping this unmaintained list and, since consensus can change at any time, any deletion should be without prejudice to re-creating it in the future if someone wants to re-create it, preferably in a wikitable format, with added context, actual and better sourcing, and regular maintenance (at least quarterly).

  • Why am I being pinged to this? It doesn't relate to my editing habits/interests or topical expertise. As for the AfD, I would think we'd keep a list of this sort, but police it for WP:NOT#DIRECTORY entries and inaccurate ones, which might pare this down to a fraction of its size. One of the common (but not required) purposes of stand-alone list articles is providing a place to briefly cover things that are at least marginally encyclopedic (do not fail WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE) but which do not rise to the level of WP:Notabilty (worthy of a separate article). That said, commerce-oriented lists of this sort sometimes do not do well, and either need to be removed, or need to have inclusion criteria that raise the bar, e.g. only notable entries which aren't redlinks (that is, the list would not be serving a place-for-barely-encyclopedic-entries function). I would think we would try the clean-it-up approach first, then the only-notable-entries approach, then deletion as a last resort.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  18:24, 16 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Uhooep: Can you please clarify the meaning of your !vote, above? Its first sentence has a grammar error (at least one missing word), and it's uncertain how the second relates to the first. It's not even clear how either relates to "delete", since as Dream Focus points out, the list already has a dozen blue-linked (notable) entries, and everyone but the nominator appears to agree with reducing the list (if kept) to only notable entries.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  21:51, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Nguni people per WP:PAGEDECIDE. First, let's remember that "the absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable." Second, here are some academic sources: [7] [8] [9] [10]. It's a notable subject. That said, even though the specific practice is notable on its own, WP:PAGEDECIDE suggests that if our readers will benefit from seeing the information in the broader context of a larger article, then we should put the information in the larger article rather than having a separate standalone article. In this case, readers would benefit from seeing why this particular practice is significant within the broader context of Nguni people. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 08:48, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Nguni people; the text is fine, but there's not enough here for a stand-alone article. Preserve the text, but there doesn't need to be a stand-alone article with only this much detail. --Jayron32 16:42, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Indignant Flamingo except for merging. The article passes our notability test and has multiple independent reliable sources substantiating that notability. That is the test, and as such, the article deserves a stand alone just like any other article. Can it be improved? Absolutely! Can more RS be added? Absolutely!

  • @Senegambianamestudy: A merge vote is a keep, not a delete, as the content is kept and the title is redirected to the new article. Nothing prevents improvement and expansion of the "First Fruits" section within the Nguni people article after merging, and if the material grew to require its own article based on size or disproportionate treatment, it could be spun back out. There's no good reason to force our readers to go between multiple articles to figure out context and significance, when one well-crafted article would do. As WP:PAGEDECIDE makes clear, having or not having a standalone article is a matter of serving the readers, not of the importance or notability of the subject. Most of us agree that the content is important. A standalone article is not a trophy that a subject "deserves", but one possible way to present information to readers, and in this case, not the best way.

Ahnenblatt is a commercial software. The page has zero independent sources that cover the topic. It is written as a blatant product description.

  • This AfD is being WP:Reference bomb-ed. Some are not worthless (eg http://www.geneapress.com/search?q=Ahnenblatt showing that it is one of multiple similar programs being regularly reviewed, but it is arguable whether review data constitutes secondary source coverage), and others are very likely disallowed "Native advertising", the main sign being download links in the middle of the coverage. I also choke on sources that include hatnotes such as "Ahnenblatt is a free program for genealogy research, with which you can create your personal family tree." This is skirting around the fact that it is for-profit software using the freemium model.
Please, if you think it is notable, meeting WP:GNG, give the WP:THREE best notability-attesting sources, or point to specifics in WP:NSOFTWARE. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:07, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry for reference-bombing. This was not my intention. But I am unsure what you would see as notable or as a reliable source. So far I gave references to awards, blogs, reviews with/without download button, research and education publications. Nothing made you happy so far ...
    • Sorry? You are certainly reference bombing. It takes more effort to explain why each weak source doesn’t demonstrate than it takes for you to list it.
For notability, the source needs to be:
* Reliable, like any source. Not a blog.
* Independent. Independent of the software, it’s authors, distributors, associated company.
* Comment directly on the topic, say something qualitative about the topic.
A reliably published independent review of the software that compares it with similar software would be great.
Please list three (3), not more, that you think seriously meet the above.
Please sign your posts with four tildes (~), which auto converts into a linked dated signature.

  • Page creator added two sources. The first source has only two sentences about the subject:

    Yn 1992 is it Frysk Puzelwurdboek fan Douwe vander Meulen ferskynd. Dat wurdboek is út soarte ornearre foar puzelders, martrochdat it in soad synonimen jout en ek wurden oarderet neffens rubriken lyk-as fartugen, klean en lichemsdielen is it Puzelwurdboek in tige wolkommeoanfolling op ’e hânwurdboeken fan ’e FA

The other source also only has two sentences:

In 1992 is het Frysk Puzelwurdboek van Douwe van der Meulen versche-nen. Dat woordenboek is uiteraard bedoeld voor puzzelaars, maar door-dat het veel synoniemen geeft en ook woorden ordent volgens rubrie-ken als vaartuigen, kleding en lichaamsdelen, is het Puzelwurdboek een wel-kome aanvulling op de handwoordenboeken van de FA.

    • Peter, from what I see here you've added 2 refs: [14]. And the only time it mentions the company is in the section "NEW DECUS MEMBERS". This is not even a mention in passing, but the worst possible google hit (that one or two employees of that company joined that mailing list or whatever that DECUS was). This is not helpful. Second is a bit better ([15]), as in, it's a full sentence... but it is still a far cry from requirement of in-depth coverage.

@Pavlor: We have to prove those offline sources exist. So, I look at it, how substantive is this article? Per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James H. Stuart, a result of "delete" should be without prejudice to someone, presumably in California or wherever this company was based, going to their local library and looking up on microfilm/microfiche for sources and trying again. Failing that, a draftification or userification potentially could be a reasonable result; however, again, there's nothing in this article intellectually creative that's worthy of preserving attribution history here. Doug Mehus T·C 20:50, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Until someone goes to that library (I can´t as I´m on the other side of the Ocean), I assume there are sources (the few I saw indicate this is really plausible). As there is no harm in keeping this article, keep is my default stance. Pavlor (talk) 08:35, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES is not a good argument. The responsibility to go the library lies no the article's creator or those wanting to keep it, per WP:V. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:44, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Thoe company is known for its timesharing systems and its automated theorem provers. In the timesharing domain, Auerbach's guide to timesharing, p. 68-69 has about a page on the company and its timesharing services as well as mentions throught the book. Physics Today, SHOPPING FOR A TIME-SHARING SERVICE, p.42-43 also displays them as one of the major timesharing services. In the theorem proving field, [17] by Mackenzie has a few paragraphs about the SAM series of provers and notes the "SAM's lemma" was "was widely hailed as the first contribution of automated reasoning systems to mathematics." A Short Survey of Automated Reasoning (a few paragraphs) noted that the SAM series was one of the first interactive theorem provers and and had influence on subseequent theorem provers. An SEC newsletter p.2 from the time has some basics on the company financials and services. There was one other source, the book "Mathematical Software" by John R Rice, 1971, that looks like it may have some more coverage, but I don't have access. All the sources I had access to demonstrate notability and impact of the company, and I think add up to modest but sufficient notability to have an article per WP:GNG. Research was a part of this company's impact and independent sources noting that are excellent and on target for notability; in this I disagree with some of the above editors dismissive attitudes towards scholarly publications. The article itself is a well-referenced stub and has no problems. A notable topic and an article with no major problems suggests keeping the article. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 14:06, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. There is a fair consensus for keeping the article, after extended time for discussion. Advocates of deletion note that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, but the extent to which this applies to the notability of a company that manufactures notable products is unclear. Examples suggest that the notability of the manufacturer does not render its product notable, but it does not appear to be as well-established that notability of the product is equally ineffective with regard to notability of its manufacturer. A rename has been proposed after other editors presented their opinions, and should be re-filed as a WP:RM. BD2412 T 03:52, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and rename to Hypex UcD. The article is currently mostly about the company's UcD products and the reliable sources noted above by other editors are also mostly about the company's products, so morphing this article via a rename to focus on the notable content and available sourcing seems a reasonable way to preserve, rather than delete, verifiable information per our policy WP:ATD. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 01:49, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are no references that provide significant coverage with in-depth information on the *company* and containing independent content on the *company* and while a lot has been written about the products (as noted by the Keep !voters above), this does not translate as notability for the company. Topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 19:05, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"There are no references that provide significant coverage" .... "while a lot has been written about the products" - surely without the former, the latter would be impossible. The review of the Hypex NCore 400 kit (that I just added to the article) would certainly seem to be "significant coverage", and neutral, giving it criticised the lack of inputs other than XLR on the module. The assertion that writing about the products cannot be done in an article about the parent company seems incorrect based on other articles I have improved to rescue from AfD, including Kelly's of Cornwall and Lees of Scotland. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 12:06, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the guidelines, there's nothing specific that says a review of a product/service/etc cannot be used to establish notability of the company but in my opinion, for that to occur, the review must provide information on the company itself that meets the criteria (significant, in-depth, independent content). WP:PRODUCT makes it clear that information on a product may be included in the article about the company but that if the product is notable in its own right it may also have its own separate article. In summary, while we have references that discuss the products of this company, we have still not found any references *about the company* that meet the criteria for establishing notability.

I saw a lot of articles about video games (or board games) that are notable but their publishers are not. Of course, sometimes it may mean the article needs to be created, but for most small companies, it's rather hard. For example, Scythe (board game) is a major board game title, but I doubt its publisher is notable, ditto for the designer. Or consider GMT Games. A bunch of titles it publishes are notable, but frankly, that article does not suggest the company is (but I haven't researched it yet). Or Polanie (video game), a cult Polish video game, whose publisher is certainly no notable... Or the publisher of Bleach: Brave Souls that I recently stubbed, through again, I haven't researched the company yet. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 20:23, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She obviously fails all of the WP:SINGER criteria except for the 10: Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. But as it's the only claim, it leads us to WP:1E. Now - are the movies and TV-shows she wrote songs for notable enough to secure her an article? Less Unless (talk) 20:32, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
She didn't write the theme for any of them, she just had a song appear (supposedly) in an episode of each. So I'm not sure it even makes the mark of 10. Praxidicae (talk) 20:38, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:SBST Routine reporting, such as these covering her death, do not constitute substantial coverage. If that were true then anyone who died would have an article.

  • The nomination statement misrepresents my reasons for contesting the WP:PROD template, and I don't know where the nominator gets the ideas that an obituary is the same as a news report of a death, and that "anyone who died" gets an obituary in a major national newspaper. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:22, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed that it isn't a typical obituary... I can't even read French and I can see it's not some list of survivors, charity, fate of the remains. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 17:27, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The examples that you give are what you see in a typical death notice, not what you see in a typical obituary. They are very different things, and I don't understand why so many Wikipedia editors don't understand the difference. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:31, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's not quite it. Death notices are typically names, ages; times and locations of interment; they are unpaid and are therefore basic as can be to communicate the death to the public. Obituaries have more information {as I listed above}, possibly with more of a write-up on the person's life and accomplishments, often but not always because someone paid. Full, feature obituaries on prominent persons are less likely to be generated from content given by the family. The write up on Filippi appears to be a feature obituary or news item, which is a stronger case for notability than a sponsored obituary or a death notice. Most editors on here don't use either frequently enough to notice a difference. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 17:43, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but you have obituaries and death notices the wrong way round. Obituaries (at least in serious major national newspapers like Le Figaro) are descriptions of the life of someone who has died written by a journalist or someone independently commissioned by a newspaper's editorial staff. Death notices are what are written and paid for by families, and are clearly marked as classified ads. One of the things that has amazed me since I started editing Wikipedia is that there are people who don't understand this simple difference. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:57, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Now how can I have it the wrong way around when I say there are 3 different types and I've agreed with you so much? ;) Perhaps things are different in France, but in the US, we have death notices, lengthier paid pieces called obituaries written about ordinary people, and then longer obituaries about well-known people that focus on their accomplishments. Wikipedia's article on obituaries may shed some light. I've paid for (the writing of and access to) enough to know a death notice is good for little but that obituaries have broken down many a research brick wall. And that full or feature obituaries in major publications indicate notability... Good luck with the AfD and conveying notability. I'm out.DiamondRemley39 (talk) 19:04, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Getting back on topic, she was very well known to the general public in France, and her obituary was widely published. She wrote a significant number of hit songs for artists who are themselves notable, such as Jenifer, Calogero, Grégory Lemarchal and Jean-Jacques Daran (who was apparently her husband/companion at some point; no article in English, but a long a detailed one in French). She also seems to have won a number of awards for her songwriting. See for example: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22] etc. Obviously all the sources are in French, but that doesn't impinge on her notability. --Xuxl (talk) 21:13, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure that Billboard just copied down the lyrics and credits from a lyrics site (possibly the aforementioned one) due them having gotten credits wrong in the past and due to literally no other reliable secondary sources mentioning Noah as a writer in any of the songs that he has been claimed to write on. They have also contradicted themselves multiple times in the past in articles, so they're reliability is questionable on occasion.--DovahDuck (talk) 18:49, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he has gotten some real co-writing credits for songs by Bieber and a few others, and that is accurately reflected in the media, but nobody has done any "who is this guy?" investigation on him specifically, in order to provide reliable and significant media coverage to confer notability. I also concur with the previous voters on the status of his book, which is probably a self-promoted vanity publication and it if it wasn't, it still has not received any reliable media coverage either. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 22:37, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Manual of Style discourages us from using these types of time specifications at all, and we're not really in the business of providing "real time" lists that need to be updated by the minute.

The scope of the article is entirely confined to the report of Forbes, and from what I can tell, this content is already better covered in The World's Billionaires about the Forbes source itself. That article does a much better job of structuring pretty much the same information in a stable encyclopedic format, reporting each year rather than trying to have a "real time" ticker maintained of who is what at this very second.

As it stands, this article just straddles the line between excessive listings of unexplained statistics with little to no encyclopedic context, and timely news on who's who. GMGtalk 16:14, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge The The World's Billionaires starts with "List of richest people" redirects here. For a real-time list, see List of richest people in the world. Maybe we could integrate the content of real time rankings in one section of 'The World's Billionaires' knowing that for example the richest man in the world is now Bernard Arnault but this information is not anywhere else than in the current article. Thus this information is of value when looking information of 'richest people in the world'. Wykx (talk)

  • The problem is that there are multiple overlapping problems in scope all at the same time.
  • WP:NOTNEWS - This is essentially a running news ticker, that is fundamentally transient has no enduring value to any revision of the page.
  • WP:REALTIME - The list is both ambiguous to readers, at least to any reader who doesn't know how to check the article history, because it's not really real time, nothing on Wikipedia truly is, and is only current as of the last good revision. As is inherently the problem with real time content, it simply cannot ever reach any version that is both stable and educationally useful.
  • WP:INDISCRIMINATE - There is almost no encyclopedic prose that can ever be useful here, and what is here is fairly arbitrary. We highlight richest woman, while Forbes themselves highlight people by gender, by country, by newcomers, by age, and by sector. We've chosen to limit the article to 20 for no apparent objective reason. Forbes has only 20 on the first page, but they don't limit it to only 20. It's not clear why we choose to highlight a few companies in particular, when Forbes doesn't seem to do this at all.
  • WP:ARTICLESABOUTONESOURCE - This is such a rare problem that we don't even have any guidance for it at all, though it probably also falls under INDISCRIMINATE in principle. We simply don't have articles where the scope is limited to a single source unless the article is about that source. We already have an article about the source at The World's Billionaires, and this isn't actually a list of the richest people, it's a list of the richest people according to Forbes, for no apparent objective reason preferring Forbes to any other source where they may disagree. We have similar articles, like 100 Women (BBC), but that is again about the source itself. The analogous article there would be something like List of most important women, where when you get into the fine print, it's actually List of important women according to the BBC.

Keep. The article already included quite some references and external links showing the notability of the topic (the internationally renowned arts centre deSingel, magazines like The New Yorker,...). Also internal Wikipedia links show the importance of this person. This person is for example quite central for the mentioned Tehran Contemporary Music Festival. I have the impression that the WP:BEFORE was not carried out sufficiently before nominating the article for deletion, especially with regard to "C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted" and "D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability". To state the notability more clearly, I added some extra references and external links, such as the Discogs profile, an academic article and the press article in the international newspaper Tehran Times.

  • Keep, as creator. AfDed 4 minutes after creation, what an admirable dispatch. I admit that this is probably a bit of a borderline case as regards notability, given that we have two third-party sources, Rocket Stack Rank and File 770, who are probably to some degree WP:SPS. But they are both publications that have received significant awards or award nominations in their field, which I believe allows us to qualify them as reliable sources under the "established expert on the subject matter" exemption. And, if I may invoke WP:IAR for perhaps the first time ever, I believe that it is in the interest of Wikipedia and perhaps the public at large for readers to find a serious article about a piece of literature when they search for this particular phrase, not a disparaging meme. (Also, given how the Internet works, it's likely that more media will pick up this topic in the coming days, but that's of course just crystalballing on my part). Sandstein 14:46, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We are not a news service, there has to be evidence of long term notability, not temporary notoriety. This is only notable becaue of the controversy (and its links to a meme) so at best this should be a merge with the Meme.Slatersteven (talk) 12:15, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Slatersteven, there is no article about the meme to which this could be merged, and nor should there be one in my view. The puerile meme is better covered in the context of this article. This is a work of literature, and most notable works of literature are covered by publications when they are published; this one is no exception. Long-term importance is something we talk about when we discuss events (crimes, disasters, etc.), not literature. That there is controversy about this story makes it more notable, not less. Sandstein 17:27, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep , in the sense of "do not delete", while not necessarily endorsing the current state of the article. The subject clearly was primarily notable for one event, but there is significant arguments made that the level of reliable-source coverage over the following years suggest sufficient enduring notability for a standalone article, potentially satisfying several of the exceptions to WP:BLP1E. However, there are also very valid concerns that the way the second half of the article primarily covers "related attacks" is rather inappropriate, covering too much information not directly related to Ahmed Rajib Haider. These two opinions are potentially compatible - the subject can be sufficiently notable, but significant parts of it perhaps should be merged to Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh. Ultimately, though, there is a distinct consensus to keep this content in some form, though a full merge and redirect is not necessarily excluded if a trimmed article is trivially short. A merge discussion on the talk page about what content shouldn't really be here is the way forward, from the point of view of AfD this article is clearly not being deleted. ~ mazca talk 16:43, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This person is notable but is not that kind of notable that a separate article should be created for him, the article should be merged with Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh. There was a similar person like this person and he was named Washiqur Rahman Babu, his article was created first but later that was merged with Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh which was done after a deletion discussion; Faisal Abedin Deepan is another person whose article has been merged with Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh (after a deletion discussion).

Seems like a WP:1E. If he had not been killed there would be next to nothing written about him. He was a controversial blogger (which many bloggers try to be - for attention). We really stretch to call him a journalist when he is more of an editorialist. Some references are not even about him, they are about other bloggers. Nearly every article about him is about his death. You can argue his death: getting hacked to death is notable. But I see no reason not to merge or redirect to my target above. Lightburst (talk) 21:51, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As the person is not someone notable rather than a victim of a terrorist attack, this should not be as a separate article, rather should be here under a list of Terrorist Attack Victims in Bangladesh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeotheoneReal (talkcontribs) 09:33, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The implications of his death, per the considerable RS on the individual even the years after this death, means that it does not meet #3 of WP:BLP1E for failing the requirement of having an article. In addition, WP:BIO1E states that The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified – the global media coverage of the individual has been extensive, and was for some period after his death. Britishfinance (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Wikipedia can't have articles for all non-established bloggers who tried to earn recognition by blog writings; This blogger was attacked and killed and after that Wikipedia article was created in his name; The whole world has so many bloggers, and if anyone becomes a crime victim Wikipedia can't have articles just for being attacked; In future if some other non-noted bloggers get attacked and die and for that if they get attention by newspapers and/or TV channels for a few days Wikipedia can't have articles for them; Time makes the bloggers forgotten if their articles are present in Wikipedia or not, The world notices so many crime victims like the number 'rape victim women' are increasing in India and Bangladesh; Does Wikipedia should have all of the rape victim women's article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.30.38.90 (talk) 15:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • When someone gets covered by The New York Times, CNN, and most of the world's major press, and they keep coming back to the story for years afterward, that becomes notable (per WP:GNG). I understand that as an atheist-blogger, he was particularly controversial (and simply hated) to large sections of his country (hence his death), however, Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED – as long as the highest quality independent reliable sources cover him, then so does Wikipedia. Hope that helps. Britishfinance (talk) 16:32, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Whether this article will be kept or not will be decided tomorrow by an administrator as seven days since the article's deletion nomination are going to be completed tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.111.198.109 (talk) 03:40, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The article should be kept but it should be merged with Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh with an edited version; an administrator will consider this and I am hoping that some wise Wikipedians will also vote on behalf/against this article or comment. Everyone should also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washiqur Rahman (2nd nomination), the deletion discussion of another Bangladeshi blogger whose article was merged with Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh. 119.30.39.232 (talk) 04:38, 13 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: This looks a lot like a WP:BIO1E, with about half the article being about his death and the rest being about "related attacks". That would typically lead to deletion or redirection to an article about the event. Since most comments favor keeping, I'm relisting to provide an opportunity for any additional arguments addressing this concern.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, RL0919 (talk) 12:02, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. WP:BIO1E says that The general rule is to cover the event, not the person. However, if media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified. We already have a general article on Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh, however, the high-quality RS is significant on this individual (and keeps getting referenced post his 2013 death here and here and here), and therefore a BLP is acceptable. There are many minor Attacks by Islamic extremists in Bangladesh that get minor RS coverage, are forgotten, but get listed in WP, however, this individual received considerably more RS coverage. Britishfinance (talk) 12:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The news of blogger's death spread world-wide as Islamic terrorists attacked some bloggers between 2013 to 2016; after 2016 the Bangladesh Police either arrested or killed so many terrorist, Bangladesh Police also foiled so many terrorist-attacks, so since 2016 no blogger or other secularist has been killed. New York Times or CNN or BBC can't a make a blogger or secularist famous, this person had no ability to get worldwide recognition, just for an attack he can't be 'a strong renowned person', NYT and other newspaper also publishes so many rape victim's news, so other crime victim person's news are being published in international famous newspapers; as this blogger is only known mainly for his attack and not for his writing his article should be considered for redirecting or the article should be renamed as 'Murder of Ahmed Rajib Haider' like Murder of Nusrat Jahan Rafi - this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.58.202.41 (talk) 15:21, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The person's blog writings should have been archived/should be available if he is really notable; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washiqur Rahman (2nd nomination) must be seen by an administrator as Washiqur Rahman had similarity with this person (Ahmed); Bangladesh noticed several blogger-killings by Islamist Terrorists from 2013 to 2016 - this is true; newspapers like NYT didn't give any kind of popular recognition to any murdered bloggers, newspapers had just published news. Bangladesh government punished the terrorists but no dead blogger had got official recognition/notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.30.39.28 (talk) 07:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page between four entries, three of which appear to be relatively minor fictional characters without articles of their own.

  • Delete we do not need such a page for 3 fictional characters and 1 real person, with only the last actually having an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:12, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep we have a need and room for such a disambiguation page to aid the readers. WP:D " It is necessary to provide links and disambiguation pages so that readers typing in a reasonably likely topic name for more than one Wikipedia topic can quickly navigate to the article they seek." Wm335td (talk) 19:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, then redirect to List of Northern Exposure characters#Recurring characters. The EastEnders character isn't even on the linked list, we don't usually include characters from obscure, one-shot movies, and Michael Monroe is a non-Mike stage name. That leaves the Northern Exposure character, who has a story arc in the TV show, so a redirect seems acceptable, possibly with a redirect hatnote to Michael Monroe. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:01, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Disambiguation pages are essentially indexes that show readers where on Wikipedia that can get information on 'Mike Monroe'. That could be a brief mention or a lengthy article, but either way, we show the reader how to navigate there. If a link meets MOS:DABMENTION (i.e. a Mike Monroe is mentioned in an article), then that link should be there. The first entry was no longer valid as the EastEnders character was deleted from the list. The rest all meet the criteria laid out at MOS:D. Whether there's a primary topic is another question, although the musician would be the most notable, he's also rarely known as 'Mike'. I also added another entry. Boleyn (talk) 16:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The "minor" status of entries which have a mention in an article is not a policy reason to delete. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Wm335td, Boleyn and Shhhnotsoloud. Anyone typing the name Mike Monroe or even mistyping the name of the Australian TV presenter Mike Munro should be immediately able to see the current dab page layout of names and not be faced with a redlink or even with a redirect to List of Northern Exposure characters. Such a setup would only hinder Wikipedia's accessibility and help no one. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 04:17, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment removed prod because I doubt it's OR but it needed a more comprehensive check for references in the field than I could do. DGG ( talk ) 19:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I originally created this article but I'm not going to advocate strongly now for its being kept. This is an old article about an even older product. It seemed somewhat notable when I originally created this article, but as the product has receded further into the past, it seems less so now. I haven't edited this article in 13 years; if others who have edited it more recently wish to add to the discussion I may participate in this discussion. But I'm not going to be the primary advocate for keeping it. Dash77 (talk) 02:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Based on DGG's expertise as a researcher, I'm willing to hear what was said about it. Once notable, a thing is always notable. Bearian (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree and this is exactly why I'm not going to be a strong advocate to keep the article. Once something is notable I agree that it is always notable. However I created this article early in my 'career' as a Wikipedian, when I wasn't as familiar with Wikipedia's notability guidelines as I am now, so my having created the article is not strong evidence for it ever having been notable. I haven't touched the article since. I understand that multiple references from multiple sources are needed to establish notability. I was aware of the one reference that DGG provided but am not aware of any others as yet, so I'm not sure on whether this product is now or was ever notable. I'll also be interested in any further thoughts that DGG has. Dash77 (talk) 19:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would also add that I recall that Ralphe Wiggins, the creator of this product, had an article in the May 1992 issue of AI Expert entitled 'Docking a truck: A genetic fuzzy approach'. That was how I originally learned of Wiggins' work. However I don't recall whether the AI Expert article mentioned Information Harvesting or not, and I can't find a PDF of the article online. Even AI Expert itself, which was an important AI publication in its era, doesn't seem to have a Wikipedia article. Dash77 (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I added the old AI Expert reference to the article but I'm not sure if that is enough to establish notability. I would hope for a bit more in terms of references but can't find much out there. Dash77 (talk) 18:08, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Make it a draft, I think what's on there (the sources I found) can be kept, but I agree that there really isn't enough info about him on the page. Nothing else could be found because there's nothing else out there online about him when Googling. Mitchell has only ever attempted one race which was a DNQ. The racing series he competes in is so small that there's no news about him. If Mitchell attempts a Nascar race again (like Eldora in 2020) or whenever we find out more info about him, then I'd say add the page back. Moving it as a draft would be a good compromise here. We don't lose any of the existing info, which is still something but not enough for an article. Cavanaughs (talk) 04:58, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Cavanaughs[reply]

Hello, not sure why you relisted after a consensus to keep was decided.

The relisting is very questionnable actually. There was an exactly similar AfD with the same number of votes but wasn't relisted. Is it that she's black unlike Hannah Godwin? What's your problem?

Not sure if that is the criterion. Scholar indicates that 6 of his works have each been cited over 100 times, perhaps someone can find an h-index for him. His work on Activity theory certainly looks significant. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

According to google scholar Gregory Bedny's work has been cited > 1600 times. Some other relevant information suggesting that this page should not be deleted: Gregory Bedny is a member/Academician of the Russian Academy of Aerospace and Engineering. He holds an honorary Doctor of the University of South Ukraine, he was an editor of the Human Activity series of CRC Press, Member of the Board of the Applied Human Factors Ergonomics conference, Member of the Board of the Theoretical Issues of Ergonomics Journal and in addition to articles, author of 18 scholarly books. It is also worth noting that because G. Bedny is a Soviet scholar and immigrant this needs to be taken into account when interpreting scholarly impact. Gregory Bedny's impact extends not only in US and Wester Europe but also in Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries. It is important that Wikipedia remain as inclusive of international diversity as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbedny (talkcontribs) 00:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftify Potentially notable but single reference is insufficient for establishing notability. Three papers with more than 100 cites are pretty decent. scope_creepTalk 11:36, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Do we have any RS telling anything about this person (when and where he was born, what he did, etc.)? So far, there is one review about his book. If not, I am afraid this is going to be deleted. We must source content to something. My very best wishes (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment On sources, the foreword to this book that he coedited is some kind of eulogy; there's also a short biography there. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I see a plenty of sourced info about him in preface to the book. That resolves my concern. However, it does not say that he was the founder of Activity theory. What was his the most significant achievement, exactly, beyond publishing several books? I have no strong opinion to keep or delete. My very best wishes (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think his citation record is probably sufficient that he meets WP:NPROF C1, although I'm concerned about the largely-without-references article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Crosswind_kite_power#Timeline_of_uses_and_progress_of_crosswind_kite_power, where it is mentioned in context. I was unable to find sufficient in-depth independent sources for this project sufficent for WP:GNG notability threshold. The parent company, NTS GmbH, also does not look notable. But the three sentences in the crosswind kite power article about this project seem due weight and the basic facts mentioned seem verifiable. For verifiable material, a redirect like this is prefereable to deletion, per our policy WP:ATD. Hence, redirect. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 21:12, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is an article for a record label with no notable artists. The lack of noteworthy artists suggests the label is not "one of the more important indie labels" of the sort suggested by WP:MUSIC, and the footnotes don't substantiate the label's importance in a meaningful way, as far as I can tell, which seems to indicate it would not hurdle WP:GNG either. The label has no article in French, nor does the founding musician (Hibou (band) is a different ensemble entirely). Chubbles (talk) 05:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While this page is attributed to an anonymous editor on ruwiki, I believe that it is the same person who made this page on enwiki. An editor with the same name as the one who made this page in enwiki made another page regarding this organization here, using an edited picture from Republican Xinjiang. While Bekteev was met by Sven Hedin under the service of Ma Zhongying, this was after the decline of much of the ROVS, and Xinjiang is very close to Mongolia. Furthermore, citation 7 seems to be a permanently dead link, and a search for it yields no relevant results. Citation 8 is behind a paywall, but it cuts off right after explaining the Kumul Rebellion. From a quick re-read of a section of Source 9, it seems that it does not mention the OVS at all.

  • Comment Let me clarify here: you're saying this isn't notable because the sources are poor (i.e. it fails WP:GNG)? That it didn't actually exist? What does its creation by the same user as on RuWiki have to do with it? CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 06:13, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment per CaptainEek, I am confused as to what the argument for deletion is here. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @CaptainEek: @Sirfurboy: I have reason to believe that this organization did not exist. The sources do not mention this organization at all, and the creation by the same user on ruwiki may have a connection to the user being the one who made this up - As this user may be the only person to create articles on different language Wikipedias (and a Wikia article with an edited image that I could not find elsewhere, thus making it suspicious that it may be made up by the user), it makes it more likely to have been the fabrication of one person (I find it unlikely for different users on different language Wikipedias to work together to create articles about an obscure fake organization). Roniius (talk) 11:08, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the clarification. So yes, on the face of it, it looks like it could well be a WP:HOAX. I will do some more digging and come back with my thoughts soon. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 11:33, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This does indeed look like a WP:HOAX. I don't speak Russian which makes things harder, but it is suspicious in itself that most of the refs are Russian only, with no translation of key material, and that they are of poor quality. Searching for the name of the society in the better quality Russian pages finds no hits, and Google translate of these seems to confirm no mention. One ref is to a file hosting site. The user generated sites are already described by the nominator. The English refs do not check out. Searching vol 32 of Foreign Affairs here:[29] I get no hits for Soyombo, OVS, OBS or anything similar. Hits for "revival" do not check out. The ref is used in a related context on another wikipedia page, but this version strips it of page numbers, which is the kind of thing a hoaxer would do to make it harder to verify the ref. Basically is seems to say this imaginary society was part of that real rebellion, but does not provide enough information to disporve the claim. Nevertheless as it is not even mentioned in the only two English refs given on the page, it fails GNG and is very likely a hoax. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 11:58, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Well at any rate it fails WP:GNG. An explicit google search shows just 14 results, none more than just including the phrase of the society. A wide variety of different search terms and looking around showed me...surprisingly nothing. Of the existing sources, the Ruspole one is blog content hosting a primary source that doesn't even mention the SRS. The third ref just took me to a phishing website and my anti-virus had a cow, sooo don't think thats legit. The rest are books in Russian, which I don't have access to. But I'm surprised that not a single google books result came up. I even tried in Russian, using the Russian transliteration of "Общество возрождения Соембо". While it brought up the Wikipedia pages in both English and Russian, it brought up basically nothing else, and no results in Google books. While I won't go so far as to say its a hoax (although it sure could be), it certainly fails the GNG anyway. Someone who speaks Russian might be useful here to determine if this is a hoax or not.

  • I agree they're a start in the right direction, but they're far from SIGCOV. Firstly they're about his school, not himself. Secondly, they're very local outlets, and I'm unsure if they would be considered reliable, or at least I would question their reliability unless someone experienced in the matter can attest to their weight and validity. Thirdly, one of the sources you elicited is a Denver Catholic publication, which obviously raises independence issues as well, given his initiative is at least in part a Catholic one (financially speaking, for one). Best, PK650 (talk) 04:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources in the article already seem sufficient in that they deal with him directly.

  • Re the "sufficient" sources listed in the article, and excluding citations to Facebook, Youtube, Catholic and University non-independent press (he works with Catholic organizations and got press from the University he attended, for example), as well as what appear to be blog posts, we are left with the following:
  • [30] A local community radio article that briefly discusses "Young Women Survivors of War in Liberia", and mentions Norman twice.
  • [31] A press release titled "Nobel Peace Prize Winner Receives Award In Arvada", mentioning him being at the event.
  • 3 local Colorado KUSA articles I could access (another returned a 404): [32], [33] & [34] - these are the most solid, albeit local sources yet.
  • [35] An interview on the same local radio.
  • [36], [37] & [38] Lastly these 3 that again are about speeches by other people.
  • Now, if you think this satisfies SIGCOV, then I think we have very different ideas of what satisfies the GNG. Best, PK650 (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of professorships at the University of Cambridge. There are thousands of colleges, many with hundreds of named professorships. Virtually none have coverage outside internal university fundraising documents and lists of faculty and this does not appear to be an exception. The source here isn't even about the professorship, it's a biography of the first holder, wtf...
Here's the quote from the bio: "Fox's great opportunity came in 1945 when Cambridge University accepted the offer from Shell of about £450,000 for a chemical engineering department. His appointment in 1946 as Shell professor caused a stir in the small world of chemical engineers, as it was then. The appointment was in many ways remarkable: Fox had published no research papers, nor did he ever; he was not at that time an established member of the chemical engineering profession."

  • Keep. This seems to be somewhat famous as a standard example of cozy ties between academe and industry. See, e.g. [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48]. Those are all passing mentions rather than non-trivial coverage, but from many times and places. There is more in-depth coverage in [49] and [50]. I think that's enough to hint that this particular chair stands out from the thousands of others enough for an article. (Incidentally, "Shell Chair" seems to work significantly better as a search term than "Shell Professor" or "Shell Professorship".) —David Eppstein (talk) 06:20, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    David Eppstein, seems like a better place for this is Department_of_Chemical_Engineering_and_Biotechnology,_University_of_Cambridge#History then, which already lists the chairs anyway. These are more about the department or the concept of corporate sponsorship than the position itself, and I don't think a lecture presented by a Shell professor himself counts as independent coverage. Reywas92Talk 20:58, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    When considering whether a source is independent, you have to consider what it is being used to source. I think a lecture presented by someone who held the title some forty years later, when used as a source for the initial founding of the title, is sufficiently independent of those founding events. Also, it is false that the department web page lists the holders of this chair. It lists the department chairs, which haven't been the same thing as the Shell chairs for over 20 years. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:01, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Incidentally, I significantly expanded the article based on these sources. The version as nominated and as viewed by the previous commenters was significantly sparser and only had an in-passing source, now removed. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:23, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Adds no value not already available in each airport main article. It might have some value if it did not split by each airport. Also it seems that it is not being kept up to date, whereas the individual airport articles do appear to be being kept up todate. Aoziwe (talk) 03:14, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge to Aviation in Australia as an alternative to deletion. The list is encyclopedic (WP:NOTPAPER) and should be kept somewhere, but the standalone list article is a mess given it's reliant on single sources. The main article on aviation in Australia only contains a history section and nothing else, and would be ideal to have some lists on domestic and international civil air routes currently. The list article can be pruned there to something manageable so I'm not suggesting all of it be recreated in the Aviation in Australia article. Bookscale (talk) 08:35, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two books, the first Magic: The Gathering Totally Unauthorized is not notable but clearly exists, the second Advanced Magic: The Gathering Totally Unauthorized is utterly non notable or even really verifiable.

Even dividing the search term in two parts only gives 93 results (for the two books combined)[51], and only one author, Titus Chalk, mentions these books in any later books. One review at the time of publishing, and a near total lack of lasting impact. It looks as if the titles of the books are in reality both "Totally Unauthorized Magic: The Gathering" and they have the subtitles "Player's Guide" and "Advanced Player's Guide".

Correction These are two separate and distinct books.

  1. Magic: The Gathering Totally Unauthorized is a basic guide for new players on how to play the game.
  2. Advanced Magic: The Gathering Totally Unauthorized interviews a number of professional players about building a killer tournament deck, card by card. Very different books.Guinness323 (talk) 06:33, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not really that distinct, they are clearly marketed as being two parts of the same series, with the exact same layout and lettering of the cover. And they share the same problems, which is what matters most here. If it would turn out that one is notable and the other isn't, then one gets deleted and the other not. So far, neither is shown to be notable though. Fram (talk) 07:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Some people say SOLDIER is not a special purpose notability guideline. Nevertheless, for the last fifteen years, or more, it has been treated as a de facto special purpose notability guideline.

Arguments for keeping the page revolve around the uniqueness of its existence in Tehran, but this is a) not a factor in determining notability on en-wiki and b) thrown into doubt by Pontificalibus source and the fact that we have a list of synagogues in Tehran.

Keep The fact that there is only one source in the article is a sign that more sources should be sought, but does not mean by itself that there are no more sources, which would cast doubt on notability.

  • Keep--More than enough third-party sources to prove notability on the Persian language wikipedia article about the same synagogue: [52].

For English Wikipedia notability is based on the content is supported by significant coverage by independent, reliable sources where by the sources talk about the subject in length and in depth and not passing mentioned.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. This was a fairly complicated discussion, including various guidelines, some reasoned IAR, and a number of changing !votes, as well as the subject's request for deletion and their involvement in editing.

There is now a clear consensus that notability is established and an IAR argument that the COI(s) were so significant as to necessitate deletion were disagreed with. The discussion about the subject wanting the article deleted, along with the discussion that the author was disrupting the editing of the article/wishing its deletion for an alternate article, are less applicable unless a No consensus decision was being considered or there was firmly clear consensus for an IAR on it.

There is the possibility that the additional sources may allow some additional editing. Several alluded to (but not digitally available) sources may be accessible by use of any and all of Refdesk, Wikipedia Library and Resource request. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:27, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment: I've contributed some minor details to this article, mostly because the main contributor limited by COI rules can't directly improve the page. Various awards and other sources establish notability. IMHO the filmmaker is wrong about the purpose of this article, it is not supposed to mirror everything in his self-published bio. Of course this bio (=personal website) is linked in the infobox. Even a stub would be better than nothing and help users (including Googlebot) to figure out basic facts (Canada, awards, vimeo account, etc.) The article is already far better than a stub and further improvements incl. a filmography are planned or discussed on the talk page. This all or nothing AFD makes no sense for me. –84.46.52.190 (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • I note the following facts. An earlier article on the same subject was deleted as promotional. Two single-purpose COI accounts have now created two identical drafts for an article on the same subject, much more complimentary about him than the existing article.

The other account, however, Cheri Brown, is a genuine single-purpose account. Among a total of 726 edits (most of them now deleted) I have not found a single one unrelated to Kent Tate.

    Having looked to find the pages in order to answer Usedtobecool's request, I have found that there have actually been more of them than I realised. There have been at least two articles Kent Tate that have been deleted, both created by Cheri Brown, though one had been moved to Draft:Kent Tate before deletion, which is why I didn't see it at first. Then there is, of course, the current version of the article, created by LorriBrown. Then there are at least four user space drafts for the article which have not been deleted, though two of them have been blanked: User:Cheri Brown/Draft of Kent Tate, User:Cheri Brown/sandbox, User:LorriBrown/Draft page, and User:LorriBrown/sandbox/Kent Tate.

It was not my intent to alienate them, and I apologize if I have — but the requests have been light on providing what I saw as reliable, independent, secondary sources for some of the claims they've wanted to include, which seem primarily to have been the listing of their artistic output referenced by museum catalog-type publications.

  • Thanks to a very helpful link posted at User talk:LorriBrown by Theroadislong, I have now seen two discussions where the reasosn for wanting deletion are given by Kent tate (who claims to really be Kent Tate, and I see no reason to doubt that) and LorriBrown (who has declared a conflict of interest as a relative of Kent Tate). The discussions are Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1039#How to request for an COI article to be deleted and Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1040#how do I request a deletion of a wikipedia page about me?. Obviously anyone is free to read those discussions for themselves, but it is clear that essentially the reason for requesting deletion is that the editors in question were not able to get the article they wanted. LorriBrown is perfectly clear about that: she is quite explicit about her frustration at not getting the edits she wants because of "resistance" (as she calls it) form other editors. Kent tate is bit more equivocal. He claims not to be notable, but he also says "its clear that that author is unable to do anything with the article which keeps getting re-edited (reduced) by third parties" and "Every edit or addition she has tried to make only results in the article being reduced to the point where it doesn't really say anything", making it clear that the same frustration at not getting the kind of article about himself he wants is a substantial reason for wanting deletion, perhaps in fact the reason. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 17:04, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. On the basis of what I have said in my message immediately above this one, I think we can reasonably take the deletion request as being for the two reasons mentioned there.
  1. Notability. While there are many better-sourced articles, the citations in the article do include some which give sufficient coverage to satisfy the general notability guideline.
  2. The subject of the articles and an associated COI editor don't like not being able to get the kind of article they think he deserves. We have probably thousands of articles about people which don't present those people in the way they would like. That is fundamental to the nature of Wikipedia as presenting an independent, third party, view. We don't delete for that reason, nor should we. JBW (talk) Formerly JamesBWatson 17:15, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It is not a matter of liking or “not” liking the article its the matter of the COI and the lack of notability for a third party to add (or even allow) any additional information about the subject whether properly sourced or not. The “strict standards” applied to this article because of the COI are grounds for deletion and the subject should not have a wikipedia article until a third party without a COI creates an article on this subject. Kent tate (talk) 18:19, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually "The “strict standards” applied to this article because of the COI are grounds for deletion " is not a valid reason for deletion. Theroadislong (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kent tate, That doesn't make much sense at all. You say there shouldn't be an article "until a third party without a COI creates an article on this subject". However, you have elsewhere objected precisely to the fact that the current version of the article is the creation of editors without a COI, and expressed annoyance that the article "keeps getting re-edited (reduced) by third parties". You can't have it both ways. And what would you say if we delete the article because of the conflict of interest, and then a third party without a conflict of interest creates a new article which is substantially the same as the deleted one? If you are sincere in wanting the article deleted "until a third party without a COI creates an article on this subject" you should be perfectly happy with that, but in that case what on earth is your objection to keeping the current article? I could say more about the position you express on this matter, but really it is largely irrelevant, because, as "Theroadislong" has said above, conflict of interest is not a reason for deletion (though it is often a reason for third party editors to clean up an article).

  • Keep. Passes WP:GNG. If the articles subject wants an article without a conflicted editor, then surely he can just tell her to stop editing and let all the neutral editors get on with improving it? We don't have to delete this one first. Theroadislong (talk) 22:21, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • (changed !vote, see below) Neutral, also known as "meh". For the Kent Tate article, he fails WP:ARTIST on all counts. Most coverage is of the calibre of this example coverage in Yorkton This Week. He's eligible for an article as there is a lot of this low-level coverage, and there are some articles in old Canadian art magazines like Parallelogramme and Vanguard. On the upside he was mentioned in Performance in Canada by Clive Robertson, although that is the only serious book mention I saw, and that book mentions practically every performance-type artist in Canada. However if this was to be deleted we would only be losing a very marginally notable artist. There are thousands of Canadian artists with similar profiles (showed at one or two decent galleries, had a half dozen published reviews) who do not have articles. The COI does not help either, in the sense that it shows a promotional intent for the article. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:20, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment: @ThatMontrealIP:. Yes, I agree with you about this "marginally notable" article. It should be deleted because the subject "fails WP:ARTIST on all counts" as you mentioned with a COI that "does not help either".Kent tate (talk) 04:46, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but we are talking about the GNG guideline now. Might still be notable enough for an article. Also, the article subject's thoughts on their own notability are irrelevant here. We figure that out by independent means, so no need to comment on your own notability. ThanksThatMontrealIP (talk) 05:12, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I tried to help with putting together the edit requests in question although it was mostly on the technical side. I don't remember expressing any strong opinions about anything.
    By my reading, what the COI editor wanted to include were a more complete timeline of the subject's career, some direct quotes from among the reviews and a table of filmography. Each of the requests was declined for supporting sources being not independent enough or not independent at all. The discussion about the suitability of non-independent sources is ongoing at the article's talk page. The second question would be, which of the sources in the article unequivocally qualify as independent sigcov to support keeping the article despite the subject's wishes, and which of them don't. The COI editor wants to expand the article. The declination of requests says that the supporting refs are not independent. If any of the refs are not good enough for expanding the article, it follows that these sources do not meet the requirements of GNG, as GNG is built on the assumption that a certain number of independent sigcov is usually required to build a decent article on the subject, irrespective of editor motivation. So, either we delete the article because the subject isn't clearly Wikipedia notable or we identify a few SIGCOVs that the COI editor can be told can be used for building a decent article on the subject. If we are evaulating the subject's notability on GNG basis only which it seems we are now, they should be sources that support expanding the article, at least to some extent, as currently the article is barely start class.

  • Delete. I am sorry but I really don’t see a lot of policy discussion here other that you can’t delete the article just because you don’t like it. Isn’t that a policy of Wikipedia that an article and the editors should be neutral? How is it possible for an article to be represented neutral when so many of you have arrived at the consensus that this artist is marginally notable and that I have a COI and therefore not capable of being neutral. One person that initially voted neutral was anything but neutral and I perceived the comment as being intentionally disruptive for reason that I really can’t understand. This has not been a policy discussion it has been a defamation of the subject and I believe an unfair assessment of the subject out of hand. The subject of this article has 30 films distributed in three non-profit internationally recognized artist film centres in Canada which have also archived these films into their permanent collections. This artist has six DVD’s that he authored and are in library collections across Canada from St. Johns Newfoundland to Victoria, British Columbia. Over the last three years, his films have been officially selected and screened in over 50 juried international experimental film festivals around the world. These are just the facts; however, it has repeatedly been stated in this discussion that the subject is marginally notable, if notable at all. Based on what I ask. Based on this article? Exactly the reason why this article should be deleted! Which after reading this discussion I feel even more strongly that this article needs to be deleted. The article does not represent this artist and I feel I have been treated with bias from the beginning as a COI editor. The latest comment on the KT article talk page was humiliating and quite shocking to see. This process has just ramped up my anxiety and the anxiety of the subject and I am convinced that I will never be allowed to improve or to edit this article. I was also shocked to see the conversation about suspicions of me potentially having SPI and SPA. It just never ends in this platform. I am likely to never edit another article on any subject since it only appears that all of my good faith efforts have only amounted to giving me a reputation of wasting people’s time and if that is all I’ve achieved then my efforts here have been a waste of my time.

collapse discussion with COI !voters
@LorriBrown: From your talk page: "I am disclosing that I have a COI with the subject of the article Kent Tate, the Canadian Visual Artist/Filmmaker, as a family member." You should know that the presence of a family member trying to push a POV or position is not really helpful here. We strive for neutrality, and being a member of the article subject's family is not helpful to editing the article, or to the notability debate, because family members of the article subject are not neutral for obvious reasons. You also seem to be presenting arguments for keep, while voting delete because you do not like the state of the article and cannot get it to a version you like via request edit. Meanwhile, Kent Tate above is advocating for delete. We do not need either opinion really, because they are non-neural. There must be five million other articles here that you are not related to; editing those would cause no problems I imagine. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:02, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Back in March 2019, as a non-COI, I reduced length by half, cutting what in my opinion was not relevant or inappropriate. At that time, no concerted effort to add back the content or have the article deleted. Recently, length reduced by a third by other non-COI editors. In my opinion, once through AfC, an article is an article. It can be improved by subtraction and addition. The article that exists today is concise and descriptive. It includes an External link to the subject's website and his Vimeo channel, where he is free to create any content he so wishes. Wikipedia is consistent in that subjects and article creators (COI or not) do not "own" articles. David notMD (talk) 09:13, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: external links to the subject’s “non-neutral ” personal websites is not an argument to keep this article.

The COI disclaimer and the huge numbers of deletions (with no additions) from the non-COI editors as well as the link to this AfD discussion will only serve to damage my reputation.

  • Keep - meets GNG. There are a number of offline-only sources, which perhaps is preventing others from fully evaluating the sourcing, however these two online sources clearly establish notability under GNG: we have Isolated Gestures Wins Award, while it is a short article, it does talk about the subject's life and work, it isn't just routine coverage. We also have Tate’s ‘Movies for a Puls­ing Earth’ of­fer com­pelling in­tro­spec­tion at Gallery, which is an in-depth article on the subject from a smaller community newspaper. That already passes GNG, and we still have another online article and several print-only newspaper references. ST47 (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Sorry, I meant to post this as a comment, my apologies: External links to the subject’s “non-neutral ” personal websites is not really an argument to keep this article. Any cursory Google search of the subject’s name will will easily find those pages. The COI disclaimer and the huge number of deletions with no additions from the non-COI editors as well as the link to this AfD discussion overshadows the article to the point where the reader will likely question the credibility of any content that has remained. I understand that this is not a policy argument but that is a serious concern of mine as the subject of this article. Kent tate (talk) 18:47, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've voted neutral, delete and now keep. I was initially on the fence as available sourcing is poor. Then delete as I was fed up with the constant intervention of the article subject and his family, which has had the effect of muddying the neutrality of discussion. However I can now see, after hearing good clear arguments and looking a little more at the article and at the promise of sources, that the sourcing, and hints of sources on paper, is more than likely just enough to cover GNG. There are no collections but there were a bunch of articles in the 80s that I am pretty sure are in old copies of Paralleogramme and the like in various libraries. I will try and find more sources. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 00:51, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have added eight sources, several of which are primary fact checks but a couple of which are actual SIGCOV. "Exhibition features filmmaker’s view of the prairie’s beauty and contrast" was found in something called the Prairie Post, and a 1980s review was found in a clipping (thanks, LorriBrown!) from the Vancouver Province. All told, I see two reviews in Vanguard circa 1980s, the item in the Province from the same era, something in Parallelogramme from the 80s, the more recent item mentioned above, as well as the existing sources. I had to scrape very deep into various online databases to find some of these, but it seems to meet GNG.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:50, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nothing stated here passes WP:NMUSIC, and the article is not referenced well enough to get them over WP:GNG in lieu — literally the only footnotes present here at all are two record charts, being cited to support that the album didn't chart on either of them. There are also two media hits being contextlessly listed as external links instead of being used as footnotes, but they both represent purely local coverage in purely local-interest contexts, and fail to say anything about the band that would strengthen their notability claim at all — and one of them is a dead link, to boot. As always, the existence of one or two pieces in a band's own hometown local media is not in and of itself a GNG-based exemption from having to pass any of NMUSIC's achievement-based criteria: GNG is not just "count the media hits and keep anything that gets to two", but also takes into account factors like the depth of the sources, the geographic range of the sources and the context of what they're getting coverage for.
