Failing WP:GNG, WP:NARTIST. Possible WP:PROMO. None of the sources are truly reliable or independent. They appear to be blogs or - given how they are written - may be advertorial pieces closely linked to the subject. They are not suitable as independent verification of claims or alleged facts in this article. One would have thought there'd be an obituary at least in mainstream media in either Spanish, Russian or Hebrew. Other points have been made by other editors on the talk page of this article. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 23:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note I should have checked the logs before: the article has been A7'd twice and G12'd three times over the last 7 years. The G12's were for copyvios from the subject's web shop. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 00:09, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete there are a bunch of trivial mentions, some of which are self-published. He (weirdly) appears multiple times in fiction with phrases like "on the walls were paintings in the unmistabable style of Leonid Afremov." Let's face it, this guy is basically unheard of and has none of the typical markers of artistic success. Given the multiple A7 and G12 violations, my guess is that many mentions (like this self-published book mention) were paid or arranged placements. (I actually tried to insert another example from amarketnews.com but it triggered the spam blacklist!)ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hello, I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I created the article last year. As for me, you can do whatever you think is correct with the page. I will just give my opinion in my best possible English. I’m an Afremov collector and I know very well his work. For every original artwork you probably have 600 reproductions or more. Afremov is a very well known palette knife artist. Just google “palette knife paintings” or “palette knife artists” and you’ll see many of his artworks on first pages. If he wasn't known enough, he wouldn't have wikipedia articles in 7 different languages. The artist was an extremely shy person, business was and is handled by his two sons (a very ‘particular’ business, I prefer not to give opinion on how sales are handled). Afremov never gave interviews, he was like an ogre, bad temper, but was extremely passionate with his work. You can see lot’s of videos of him working on his Facebook page. He has 312K followers. Lot’s of Hotels have his prints in rooms including Hilton. Lot’s of people have screensaver with his peaceful and colorful paintings. Once again, do whatever you think is correct with the article but I think he is enough known in the art market to keep him. Carsamar (talk) 05:07, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carsamar: it's enlightening what you said about his work being in hotels. HIs website (I guess is is the studio that sells copies of hiss work) has an FAQ on what can be done with his paintings, for example: The bright and yet modest colors are perfect to set an atmosphere of contemplation in your study; It will serve as a good complement to the strict office style by contrasting the usual serious atmosphere. If you’re a hotel manager or a restaurant owner, you can decorate one of your halls with this painting. There is lots of text out there similar to this, but there is very little critical coverage of his work by reviewers or writers of books, magazines and newspapers. If no one has written at length about his art, he fails our notability tests, even if copies of his paintings might be in thousands of hotels and offices. Lastly, Facebook followers are of no value in determining notability, and the art market is extremely rarely used here in determining notability. When it is, it usually is because publications have written about the art market value. We don't care about the value, but we do care that people are writing about the artist in reliable sources. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:17, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone: Don't be unfair. You're stigmatizing the artist. What would be the problem if he has a commercial business? There are plenty of artists that make business with their artworks, indeed almost all artists. On the other hand, where do you you see a promotional article? And... Do you think an unknown artist would have Wikipedia articles in 7 different languages?
@Carsamar: Having Wikipedia articles in other languages is not a threshold criteria for English Wikipedia. Each language project has their own rules and guidelines for establishing notability. They are not necessarily compatible. Wikipedia itself is not sufficient to establish notability. The essence remains: there is nothing (that I have seen yet) that is independent, significant coverage in a reliable source - the base criteria for an article on English Wikipedia. I totally understand that you feel passionate about the artist since you are a collector as you say. I can see your dedication about the article given this is the very first articles you drafted in your sandbox shortly after you joined and waited patiently for over half a year until you made over 500 other edits on your other topic, Motorbikes, before publishing this protected article. Wikipedia has many people who are passionate about their work here - that's why rules are in place about thresholds for notability, conflicts of interest, etc. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 23:52, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Jake Brockman: @Netherzone mentioned "Promotional article", now you say "conflicts of interest". I'm just a collector from Buenos Aires and yes you're right, I signed up more than a year ago, I wanted to create the article. I realized it was semi-protected so I started cooperating with Motorbike articles to reach 500 edits. Please tell me which part of the article has an advertisement or promotional message. I have nothing to do with Afremov business, indeed I disagree the way they do business (I personally had too many problems with the family while gathering my collection). I just admire the artist, that's all. Once again sorry for my English, article was written with the help of a native english friend. Please try to be constructive, not destructive. I invite you all to research more about Leonid Afremov and improve the article. Carsamar (talk) 02:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carsamar: We've all researched him before !voting. And we have also seen hundreds of other artist articles. The fact is that he is a type of artist (largely commercial) who does not get much in-depth coverage. We don't count the things you have mentioned (Facebook, articles on other wikis, market success). We just count significant coverage in good publications. Conflict of interest was mentioned because if you have bought Leonid paintings and are collecting them, as you say, you are less neutral than those who have no relation to his work. All of these things are just facts and are not meant to be personal.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:37, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Carsamar: If you are as you say, "I’m an Afremov collector" then you have a conflict of interest WP:COI. If his work is in your collection, then you have a financial stake in it. Additionally, none of the article sourcing can be considered significant coverage in reliable sources WP:RS, they are blog portfolio sites, not serious critical/analytical art historical articles or reviews in major newspapers, books or art magazines. He does not pass criteria WP:NARTIST. Netherzone (talk) 16:38, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Netherzone: I'm a private collector, not an art gallery. Why do you assume the purpose of a collector is to make money? That is quite offensive. If I had a collection of Honda motorbikes and I created an article of a new model it would be conflict of interest too? That's the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard. Do whatever you wish to do with the article. I've given my point of view. I don't agree with many things I've read but I understand you're following rules here.

  • Note Can someone please explain me what is going on? I didn't vote a second time. How can that happen? Someone should check that. I'm just a collector, gave my point of view and that's all. My life won't change if the article exists or not. Please someone explain me how someone can write something signing with my username. Thank you Carsamar (talk) 18:09, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- I was the first to tag the article and it bugs me how I'm now followed on Facebook and Amazon by what appears to be an advertising campaign that looks to use wikipedia to bolster it. InvictaHOG (talk) 18:19, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think Salt may be appropriate here, given a) the comments about about marketing campaigns, b) the recent additions of promotional material (now reverted) and c) the general contentious nature of this artist's business, fans and detractors, as can be found by searching "Leonid Alfremov scam" (his work was banned from Reddit, which is quite a feat... they are pretty open minded), and d) the two A7 and three G12 deletions in the past seven years of the article. It is not going to hurt to force someone to go through AFC or draft if this article is indeed ever recreated with valid sources.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can't find anything that suggests that this particular tradename is notable enough for inclusion. --Sable232 (talk) 23:47, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to ZF_Sachs#Today's_product_range: The system is described in "Hydropneumatic Suspension Systems" which could provide a reference, but a merge into the company article may the best consolidation option. AllyD (talk) 07:14, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article is accurately using a term that many in the public domain will likely equate with a class of products, typified by this particular product. For example, a facial tissue, whether made by Kleenex or not, is referred to by the public as 'kleenex'. The use of 'nivomat' in a similar context for the type of product which merges the several components of the automobile suspension into one component is indicated. This does not mean that the Nivomat is the exclusive product under this general heading, but it does appear to be warranted - I offer as exhibit A the fact that I only became aware of the product when they were mentioned generically in a discussion of load-leveling on a mini van web site. This particular product appears to be a good candidate for identification as the representative of the general class of load-leveling struts/shocks. To merge this as is suggested, would dismiss that categorization and probably hide it from the users. Jaydubyah43 (talk) 10:28, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Jaydubyah43, I believe that may be the case, but if so, it should be attributed in reliable secondary sources. I didn't see any when I searched, but perhaps I wasn't looking in the right places as I'm not very familiar with automotive issues. If you can find some, do go ahead and add them to the article.

  • Delete per nom. I also doubt the notability of the band too. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 18:27, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: the band itself may well have some coverage in print media of the time like NME, given that the core of the group was essentially the same as Hope of the States, who received a lot of "next big thing" UK media coverage in the early 2000s that sadly never translated into sales, but it's likely there would have been interest in the new incarnation of the band. I'm inclined to redirect this EP as an easy solution (it's certainly not notable by itself for an individual article), but I wouldn't object to a "delete", seeing as it was only ever available from the band's concerts and website, and never available in record stores.

Long-standing high-impact WP:BLP issues for c150 people with no WP:RS. I have temporarily canned all unsourced individuals to mitigate. Unlikely to be able to obtain sources, and high-traffic article given current global dialogue around racism. Further if such a list is needed, it feels like we would be better citing on individual articles and using a category. Darren-M talk 20:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yeah, we certainly don't want Fatty Arbuckle suing us for libel. Your blanking was indiscriminate and not targeted to BLP issues as you removed numerous long dead entries. Many of the entries you removed also cited the work in which they performed in blackface, so I'd recommend just undoing that edit completely for more careful pruning. On the merits of the nomination, I see no basis for the claim that sources will be unlikely, given that only notable entertainers would be included. And (as noted in what you blanked) many of the performances are themselves in notable works. So keep. postdlf (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Postdlf: Thanks for your thoughts. Everything that was stripped was unsourced, of which many are likely to have had BLP issues - there were several high-profile living individuals in the list. Other entries even if not BLP are still clearly long-standing RS issues - many of the entries on that page have sat there without a source for years (and indeed, an article-level CN tag had been on the page since November 2008). I don't agree the blanking was indiscriminate on that basis, as I don't think it helps us to have unverified content sat there - especially when long-dead figures (e.g. Robert Paden-Powell) are currently receiving significant public and media attention for their historic views towards race. Best, Darren-M talk 21:55, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds like a post hoc rationale to me. You invoked BLP, which only justifies urgent removal of unsourced, contentious material about the living and recently dead. Otherwise, if it is fixable, we fix it; if we believe it is not, then we remove it. You made no such determination for the dozens of entries you removed within the 14 minutes between this edit and your previous one. postdlf (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Mccapra: The BLP issue is that the overwhelming majority of names on the list (prior to my pruning) are unsourced, as illustrated in [this diff]. I sought revdel to remove the BLP issues and was instead directed to AfD. Best, Darren-M talk 21:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I’m fine with removal of entries lacking RIS but that’s not an argument for deletion of the whole article. Mccapra (talk) 22:01, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think the parallel argument is whether there's a reason for this to be a list at all. A category seems to be a cleaner way of maintaining it going forward. I don't disagree with your logic though - it's at AfD because I was suggested to do so. Darren-M talk 22:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We don't categorize performers by performance. And it's moot given that, but categories would be harder to maintain because there's no way to directly source the assertion a category tag makes, either with a ref tag or an annotation explaining or describing the performance (see WP:DOAC). postdlf (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep, cleanup for verifiable. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:57, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's a sourcing nightmare, and in the case of living/recently deceased, it's a BLP nightmare too. There's unlikely to be any independent, third party, reliable sources to confirm a number of performers actually performed in blackface. The list (prior to being pruned substantially) relied mainly on original research undertaken on a primary source, that is to say, an editor saw someone in a television program or film and then decided to add them to the list. That's in breach of several of our core policies, such as original research and verifiability, and invites significant risk of the incorrect actors being identified. The next issue is related to BLP but also of relevance to a number of the deceased performers, and would probably be best considered as undue weight and neutrality. It's highly likely that we will be able to source allegations of blackface use for a number of entertainers, but the majority of the recent coverage will be criticism for blackface performance, which risks turning the list into a list of people who have been criticised for blackface usage, rather than a neutral article on entertainers who have performed in blackface. I'd also question the utility (and in many ways, the fairness) of only listing entertainers who we can reliably confirm have performed in blackface, it's an incomplete list we may never be able to complete in the absence of reliable third party source material. Nick (talk) 22:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • There's no need for lists to be complete, that's the whole reason we have Template:Dynamic list. It also isn't OR to give a straightforward description of a primary source, such as "Al Jolson performs in blackface in The Jazz Singer". That it is something that is now criticized is also not a reason for removing that information; that it was so common among mainstream performers at one time is also justification for documenting its breadth. postdlf (talk) 23:53, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would say that {[tl|Dynamic list}} was introduced in early days when there was no clear understanding what wikipedia is. Today it is pretty much clear that the overwhelming majority of lists will never be complete. Staszek Lem (talk) 05:20, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because deletion discussions usually turn on the question of notability, and this subject is clearly notable. The arguments for deletion are pretty easily satisfied by careful editing.
    • #1: There are unsourced entries on the list. Answer: Remove the unsourced entries, as the nominator has already done.
    • #2: Unlikely to be able to obtain sources. Answer: There are definitely sources about people who have performed in blackface. We will include the entries that we have reliable sources for.
    • #3: There are high-profile living entertainers on the list. Answer: If there are reliable sources that say that those high-profile living entertainers have performed in blackface, then they should be on the list. It's not our fault they performed in blackface.
It seems to me like the people urging deletion are overly concerned with protecting entertainers who have performed in blackface and would prefer it if people forgot about it now. If an entertainer performed in blackface and there are reliable secondary sources to confirm that, then they're added to the list. If they haven't, or if they have and there aren't any reliable secondary sources, then they're not added to the list. I agree that there is a potential for malicious vandalism on this page, but vandalism can be reverted quickly, as on any other page. — Toughpigs (talk) 02:31, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree exactly with Toughpigs. Mccapra (talk) 04:55, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Absolutely this page must be kept. If we try to pretend that blackface did not exist, then we have followed Orwell down the memory hole. Do we really want to risk sliding down the slippery slope that leads to Holocaust deniers and people who claim the Civil War was started by the North and was NOT about slavery?

  • Delete This is a violation of the general performance by performer criteria and ideas. The reason for performing in black face are very divergent. They very a huge amount and end up being very culturally specific. This comes off as an attempt to attack people without considering a lot of very specific cultural issues, and even the nuances of a list will not work when the mere accusaiton is wrongly taken as default proof of evil intent.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:48, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think that the page makes that claim at all. In fact, the text at the top acknowledges that there are several reasons that someone might be on the page, including "satire or historical depiction of such roles". Right now, the text with each list item only describes where and when the performance took place. I think it could also be expanded with further context on each item. — Toughpigs (talk) 14:52, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • We don't categorize performers by performance. There's no such restriction or guideline for lists. postdlf (talk) 14:57, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as Wikipedia:College and university article guideline#Notability makes clear, an institution of higher learning must still pass the general notability guideline. It is also appropriate to consider the guidelines at WP:ORG. "Academy of Learning College" has since been renamed "Academy of Learning Career College" and known as AOLCC. The first source is a press release from AOLCC, and thus is neither independent nor reliable. The second is a reworking of a press release from Launchlife, the parent company for AOLCC, and thus is neither independent nor reliable. The second source also only mentions AOLCC in passing as an asset of Launchlife. LaunchLife International Inc. is the franchisor for Academy of Learning Career College, Pitman Training, and School Is Easy Tutoring. So AOLCC is not so much a set of campuses, as a set of franchisee locations. For what it is worth AOLCC is not Better Business Bureau accredited. As ZoomInfo (a blacklisted site) indicates at "LaunchLife International Inc. - Overview, News & Competitors" there is nothing there. An extensive Google search found nothing but related websites, directory information, and blog and facebook entries. The one exception was the mention in South Africa Law Reports where a franchisee was estimating how much it would cost to set up an Academy of Learning college. There is no basis for notability. --Bejnar (talk) 20:46, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This article is not an orphan, it has links from at least three film articles, but there does not immediately appear to be much coverage of the DNA group. For example it is not mentioned at all in the seminal work Paradosiaká: Music, Meaning and Identity in Modern Greece by Eleni Kallimopoulou, although many groups of this period are, but that may not be DNA's style of music. They have not won any major awards, and in fact their nominations have only been in quasi-notable at best competitions. I find passing listing of them in film descriptions, like here. I find mention of them in related websites, blogs, imdb, youtube, music vendors and other such non-RS sites. For those searching in Greek, the two gentlemen are Μιχάλης Νιβολιανίτης and Αλέξανδρος Χρηστάρας. There is no article on this group in the Greek Wikipedia. So in conclusion they lack coverage and hence fail WP:GNG. --Bejnar (talk) 23:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article, created by a blocked user on pt.wiki due to obvious use of Wikipedia for political purpose, is a hoax. There is no such "scandal of the Brazilian judiciary", but decisions that displeased the Brazilian government and its supporters. All sources included in the article are statements by lawyers or supporters of President Bolsonaro and his family. For example: the phrase Due to these attitudes and other scandals, such as releasing criminals unjustly, most of Brazil currently consider the judiciary to be an enemy of democracy and a threat to the freedom of speech is totally false, since 84% of the population supports the passing of a law against fake news and the popular approval of the Supreme Court reached a historic high. Furthermore, the "activist" Sara Winter was not arrested as a way of "limiting her freedom of expression", but because she and her group tried to set fire on the Supreme Court's building. I strongly suggest deleting this article. Érico (talk) 19:03, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the "...but because she and her group tried to set fire..." the source of this is "Dário do Vale", a very tendencious and partial website, in "...but decisions that displeased the Brazilian government and its supporters..." displeased is the large part of the population for obvious reasons that involves the past previously the current government and not exclusively supporters of the current government. In the "...since 84% of the population..." is a possibly biased research by the opposition there are more important things in Brazil than worrying about satirical fake news, a clear political persecution..

A non-notable video game company from the olden days. There are some sources on the studio, such as:

  • Some news bits, partially rumours, about Saffire or what it develops: [7][8][9][10][11][12]. All of these are from Nintendo World Report but none of them goes into detail for the topic.
  • There is this interview from IGN, but it, too, only discusses a game, rather than the company.
  • Lastly, there are also two sources with passing mentions: [13][14]

Overall, these sources do not satisfy "significant coverage" as required by WP:GNG, and since the company is defunct, it is unlikely that there are more sources to come. IceWelder [✉] 18:05, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes:

      When Saffire Corp. was in its infancy in 1993, the office in Pleasant Grove got flooded every time it rained. Today the only flooding at the company is the rush of telephone calls requesting the production of more home video games.

      Leslie W. Pardew incorporated his company five years ago and started doing artwork for video games produced by other companies. When the flood-prone office in Pleasant Grove became too small, he moved the operation to 776 E. 930 South in the Utah Valley Business Park in 1995.Now with a complete studio for the production of video games, chief executive officer Pardew's goal is to increase the size of the company so it can own the videos it produces and also distribute them.

      Charles Moore helped Pardew start the company, but in 1994 Pardew bought him out and Hal Rushton, former vice president of product development for Sculptured Software (which has been acquired by Acclaim) in Salt Lake City, became Pardew's partner. Rushton is the company president.

      Over the years the two men have tried to form a group of talented musicians, artists, designers, writers, programmers and testers so they can produce the best home video games possible. The company now has 45 employees who produce videos for large distributors like Nintendo, Time Warner, Accolade, Activision and Midway.

      The article notes:

      From a field in west Pleasant Grove arise some of the world's scariest and best known monsters.

      They are the creations of Saffire Corp., one of the world's premier video game development firms. ...

      Growth is still quite evident as there are about 50 highly talented employees, from a beginning of six employees working out of the Orem basement of founder Lew Pardew.

      ...

      In 1998 alone, Saffire released "James Bond" and "Odd World Adventure" for Gameboy, "Animaniacs of Ten Pin Alley" for PlayStation, "Bio F.R.E.A.K.S." for PlayStation and Nintendo 64, "Rampage" for Nintendo 64, and "Starcraft: Brood Wars Expansion" for PC.

      ...

      They are seeing progress from their early days, when they had to bid on development of a particular game. As an unknown company, that was how they got their start. Since that time, they have evolved to the situation where companies such as Nintendo, Blizzard Entertainment, GT Interactive and Midway have sought their expertise in game development.

      If you are an avid video game player and find yourself constantly being asked by your children to let them take a turn, then you might know that Utah is home to some of the largest game creators in the United States. One in particular, Saffire residents in Pleasant Grove.

      At any given time Saffire may receive a call from Nintendo, Sony, or Hasbro to create a new video game. We're not just talking about Pac-Man or Frogger-type games, we are talking about depth, such as military groups, anti-terrorists, hostages, negotiations, and rescues.

      The article notes:

      A burgeoning video game graphics and design firm called Cygnus Multimedia Productions Inc. finds itself in the same place as the fictitious character for which it's named.

      Cygnus was a mythical king of the Ligurians who was changed into a swan and placed among the stars.The 2-year-old company just signed a deal to develop a game based on the motion picture "Casper" being produced by Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment. The game will be for the new high-end Sega 32X game system, said Les Pardew, Cygnus president.

      ...

      Pardew started the business in his Orem home recognizing the need for quality artwork in the computer graphics industry. Studios that specialized in graphics for video games didn't exist at the time. The demand for games was increasing, but the pool of qualified computer artists was shallow.

      Pardew and a partner assembled a group of talented artists and began to train them in video game art. Cygnus was incorporated November 1993 with 14 artists.

      It wasn't long before the makers of the new "Van Helsing" video game were turning into the very night creatures the vampire killer battles in the movie.

      For the past couple of months in the game's 15-month development cycle, there were more than a few programmers at American Fork video game company Saffire who were working into the night, glassy-eyed and in a dazed stupor, to get it done in time to coincide with the movie's release today.

      ...

      But they did it, and the result is a video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox that is remarkably similar to the look and feel of the summer action movie. They also created a version for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. All three land on store shelves today.

      ...

      To successfully capture the spirit and design of the movie, Saffire's developers early on spent weeks working with part of the film crew. They also hung around the Los Angeles set and even employed Jackman for a day to record voice work.

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

    Cunard (talk) 11:02, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cunard, thank you for your input. Interesting enough, most of these never showed up in my search (might be a geolocation thing). I took a look at all sources you listed and, indeed, at least #1 and #4 would seem to be significant coverage. Notably, all of these sources are local newspapers (which is often discounted when considering notability), and a large portion is again routine coverage, which applies to at least #3 and #5-8. Regardless, using what details there are on the company itself in the sources you provided (as well as two further I found underway), I rewrote the article. Granted, it is no longer a stub, but you find this to be a satisfactory article? IceWelder [✉] 14:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi IceWelder (talk · contribs). Thank you for your substantial improvements to the article. I think the "History" section does an excellent job explaining the company's history. The article can be further expanded by incorporating more information from the sources such as:
    1. "The company now has 45 employees who produce videos for large distributors like Nintendo, Time Warner, Accolade, Activision and Midway."
    2. "They are seeing progress from their early days, when they had to bid on development of a particular game. As an unknown company, that was how they got their start. Since that time, they have evolved to the situation where companies such as Nintendo, Blizzard Entertainment, GT Interactive and Midway have sought their expertise in game development."
    3. "In 1998 alone, Saffire released "James Bond" and "Odd World Adventure" for Gameboy, "Animaniacs of Ten Pin Alley" for PlayStation, "Bio F.R.E.A.K.S." for PlayStation and Nintendo 64, "Rampage" for Nintendo 64, and "Starcraft: Brood Wars Expansion" for PC."
    4. "The 2-year-old company just signed a deal to develop a game based on the motion picture "Casper" being produced by Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment."
    5. About the Van Helsing video game: "But they did it, and the result is a video game for the Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox that is remarkably similar to the look and feel of the summer action movie. They also created a version for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance. All three land on store shelves today. ... To successfully capture the spirit and design of the movie, Saffire's developers early on spent weeks working with part of the film crew. They also hung around the Los Angeles set and even employed Jackman for a day to record voice work."
    Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says:

    The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.

    Deseret News says, "It is Utah's oldest continuously published daily newspaper and has the largest Sunday circulation in the state and the second largest daily circulation behind The Salt Lake Tribune." I consider the Deseret News to be a regional or statewide newspaper. The Deseret News meets the requirement that "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary".

This appears to be another point on the railroad, but with a number of wrinkles. First, it appears that the line itself was built in the last 1950s to early 1960s, as no topo map before the late 1960s shows anything here; this is confirmed by an aerial photo from 1951 which also shows no rail line. There is, according to GMaps, a "James W P Road" which meanders about and eventually winds up at a trackside building with the foundations of several other structure around it; I thought it was some sort of manufacturing concern, but Whitepages.com thinks it's a residence. There is definitely a passing siding here, though. Anyway, searching is unsurprisingly hopeless for the most part. It's pretty clear, though, that this isn't a town.

The only office he has ever held is a Central Committeeman position with the Democratic Party of Illinois. This position is one of two people elected from each congressional district.

Fails WP:LISTN. No sources appear to specifically document objects in the New General Catalogue that were later shown to be ordinary stars. The specific grouping of NGC stars is not described anywhere; the only sources are all-inclusive lists of all NGC objects that label these misidentified objects. (I should also add that List of NGC galaxies does not exist, probably for the same reason, but that is not an argument in itself.) In that sense, this list's entries duplicate those in List of NGC objects with no indication of separate notability for this classification; sources would only support noting these errors in the already-existing lists.

Comment @ComplexRational: this was discussed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Astronomy#NGC_stars where the agreement was to create the list (although I really need to fill in the values. I've just been lazy lately). Sam-2727 (talk) 17:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
My personal reasoning goes: Many NGC objects aren't notable/have enough information to merit a stand alone articles, but given the extreme interest of the objects to the astronomy community, lists are notable. This article mainly exists as a compliment of the main list: i.e. a subset of it (since the main list is split over eight pages with over 7,000 entries so the "erratum" in it are hard to find). LISTN aside, it's merely a subset of a larger list for readability purposes. I would support a change to "erratum" since not all are stars though. Sam-2727 (talk) 17:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Sam-2727: Thank you for the link. The question here is then, does LISTN supersede that discussion, your line of reasoning, and/or readability? The details mentioned in this list would be equally useful in the main lists of NGC objects (in which case, I'd be fine with a merge if this information is not already there), and I still don't see a strong enough reason as backed by reliable sources for a separate classification. Let's get a few more opinions. ComplexRational (talk) 17:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Passing LISTN can be sufficient but is not necessary. Why do you think it's a helpful approach here? postdlf (talk) 19:56, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Postdlf, (if I'm understanding you correctly) I'm citing LISTN because "List of NGC stars" is one of many plausible subcategorizations of "List of NGC objects" (already covers much of the same content), and it states that the specific categorization should be unique or notable. If the reason were to describe multiple NGC objects that are not independently notable, we already have that done (even if split across eight pages, but that's out of real necessity rather than alternative categorization), so something should be notable or particular to this categorization, as demonstrated by reliable sources, to justify keeping a separate list like this with the same content. The entire NGC is notable as a set, but that doesn't appear to be the case for this particular subset. What would you propose instead?
Re one other point above, I should note that the existing lists are sortable, so one searching for NGC stars would not be hard-pressed to find them in there. ComplexRational (talk) 21:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
LISTN proves more useful if the list's classification is unusual or unexpected, such that we'd go out of our way to confirm that sources are using it. If it's an obvious or typical way of organizing information, then LISTN doesn't really contribute anything because we don't need a special argument to justify it (see instead WP:LISTPURP). Here the argument for it seems to be that it groups one of the major types of objects together (and not a novel or overly specific type) that would otherwise be spread across eight separate lists. Would readers interested in this topic find a benefit in that? "They can search through the eight separate lists" is not a very good counterargument. postdlf (talk) 21:19, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a fair point—this grouping is not unreasonable, though I still am not sure if having both parallel groupings is a good idea. We'd then have to decide where to redirect all the entries not notable for standalone articles, and draw a line somewhere so that we do not categorize NGC items under every conceivable scheme. And LISTN exists, in principle, to decide which standalone lists should exist. ComplexRational (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some sources to demonstrate general discussion of the list: [15] (not a reliable source, but goes in depth to talk about errors in the catalogue). [16] in the paragraph "The NGC is not perfect — far from it. It is awash with mistakes," and then mentions NGC classification errors. here is a specific list referring to errata (you have to download the file to view the errata, but it mentions them on the webpage). Sam-2727 (talk) 16:24, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the links, but these still are not sufficient to demonstrate notability of this collection. None of them focus specifically on stars; a one-sentence mention of errors or all-inclusive list identifying stars alongside galaxies, clusters, and nebulae are not significant coverage of this subset. And you mention that one of the sources is not reliable, so it should definitely not be used as the basis of an argument for discussion of this list and its notability (regardless of the fact that it is also all-inclusive). The fact that there are only passing mentions in exhaustive lists is part of what I am referring to in my original rationale. ComplexRational (talk) 18:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A creation by sockpuppet of User:Novonium, with no substantial edits by other editors. Proposed for CSD A7, but this was removed with edit summary "deprodding: his "Ruling Roman Britain" was widely reviewed, and he seems to be an acknowledged expert on both Roman imperialism and Greek colonisation". The subject may be notable but the article should not be allowed to stay as it was created by a block-evading sockpuppet. I seem to have missed this in checking the user's contributions and nominating for CSD G-5. It is also quite possible that the article is wildly inaccurate: see Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Awkward for another Oskosst contribution. PamD 14:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rathfelder "...though I cant read them."—I would bet that is by design. A decent chunk of the booming internet "news" business is in English, even in Nepal. This article has not one (;tldr read this which is in English, and is used in the article), even though among the Nepali sources it's got refspam fitting every description.
Looking at the current revision (permalink), [11] is the homepage of a local FM station, [8] and [24] are allevents.in, I don't know what that is, everyone can see for themselves. [4] and [19] are from Better Chitwan itself, even those don't have much in the way of content. [7] is routine coverage from a reliable source about the organisation's annual meeting. [6] is its clone in non-RS, [5] is its clone in a local paper's online portal (lists 3 editors and 4 reporters), [21], [22] and [23] are the same story about flower-farming done by Saagar Karki (RS, spam, local-RS). Only [20] a "news website" with one editor connects the flower-farming with the organisation. [18] is from the same source as [5] and all it says is "Better Chitwan organised a program on World Wetlands Day". It goes on about the value of wetlands, but that's all it has to say about the organisation. [9] is in English, [15] is the same kind of story in an worse source but with 91 students, [14] is the same in a worse source but with school bags instead of winter caps. [16] is again one of those internet "news website"s with a registration number and nothing else, the content is an ad about upcoming event (it's presented as news, but it's advert). [12] and [13] are literally the same kind of sources, same kind of coverage, also the same story. [17] goes nowhere for me (stops at the site's homepage; site is for a local FM station), [2] is a photo feature from what looks like a legit local paper; the content is "Better Chitwan [did the gardening stuff]" and nothing else. [10] looks like a legit local paper too, the content is "Better Chitwan organised a program called "Wow woman and her story"." The coverage about the organisation is literally just that. [3] is in English, and a highly recommended representative reading. It gives the exact taste of what I meant when I said the coverage of Better Chitwan stops at a sentence, while the story goes on about something else. It is also a representative of the mushrooming adsense and news business in Nepal. It also gives a taste of advert-like content in these "news" sites which one can tell just by reading them, that there is no way that literally anyone couldn't get published in them anything that they wanted. [1] is the only source that is anywhere near acceptable. It's from an RS and is about half a SIGCOV. Though it is from an email address with a name and picture, the fact that it's in a national paper and has content that could be added to Wikipedia does mean something. If there were one additional decent SIGCOV, an unambiguously independent one, that might even be enough for a stub, considering it is Nepal.
There are two issues here. One is the booming internet spam/news-site market in Nepal. There are literally dozens of so called "news portals" where one could get anything published. If we started allowing them for notability considerations, we'd really go to shit as a credible source of knowledge worth knowing, real soon (We already allow a lot of them for WP:V even in GAs). Second is the fact that, in Nepal, NGOs are more likely to be businesses than philanthropy. Being on Wikipedia still means something. We should not be legitimising NGOs that have not been legitimised by RSes in the country, or we'll only contribute to the corruption in the "philanthropy in the third world" business.
These are the facts on what the sources are and what the sources have. The rest is up to the community. It is taxing to fight this fight when there isn't even one other person to verify the claims I make to back me up on my analysis, and after all this work, the community still has only my word for it. So, this will probably be my last comment on this AFD. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 19:07, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Nomination shows no indication of WP:BEFORE, checks for WP:NEXIST sources. The nomination appears to be based only on the present status of the page - this is not sufficient for a decision to delete, the nomination must also show that they have looked but found no other potential sources to make a good argument for deletion. I see coverage in Business Standard and The Hindu of the establishment of a large factory, and coverage on Prime.RU of their operations in Russia. FOARP (talk) 08:07, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
User:FOARP. Nope, I have done a thorough BEFORE. The first two news articles are about Surya Roshni Limited a notable conglomerate that has absolutely nothing to do with Surya Group. I don't know how reliable that Russian source is. On a related note, the CEO of Surya Group, Ravi Navlani was arrested last year in Mumbai for fraudulently claiming to be the CEO of India's largest company Reliance Industries [17], so I hope you understand my skepticism about the existence of this conglomerate and the possibility that these Wikipedia articles are being used to con people.

Apologies, but since there was no statement about your WP:BEFORE in the nomination, nor about the other existing Surya company, this was an obvious point to raise.

"The Aerial Phenomena Enquiry Network (usually shortened to APEN) is an unknown group of investigators". Couldn't agree more, but the article does go on to reinforce this by having no inline sources and a couple of fringe books that no library I can find, has copies of.

  • Keep, yes, this is a fringe topic, and probably an invention of ufologists, but that doesn't mean it is not notable. I can't understand the noms claim that the sources are "fringe books that no library I can find, has copies of". According to Worldcat, Redfern's book is held in numerous libraries including,
    • Devon Library Services, UK
    • Jacobs University Bremen, Germany
    • Universitätsbibliothek Marburg, Germany
    • Friedensau Adventist University, Germany
    • Universität St. Gallen, Switzerland
    • American University of Malta
    • Portland Public Library, US
    • American University of Nigeria
    • Norwich University, Kreitzberg Library, US
    • Vanier College Library, Canada
There are many more, that is just a selection. Jenny Randles book does not seem to be so widely held, but nevertheless Worldcat is showing it held in many UK libraries including Plumstead, Wandsworth, Hillingdon, Aylesbury, University of Winchester, Birmingham, Worcester, Winchester, and the Channel Islands.
These are fringe authors and need to be used with caution, but the books come from reputable publishers. Redfern's book is published by Invisible Ink Press. Randles book is published under an imprint of Hachette. SpinningSpark 11:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've struck my keep. On reflection, I did not pay enough attention to the quality of the sources and got sidetracked into the irrelevant issue raised by the nom of whether or not they were held in libraries. SpinningSpark 14:29, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's just an ironic coincidence that Moseley used that title on the masthead of his newsletter Saucer Smear since the 1970s. There's nothing, even in fringe sources, that IDs suggests Moseley as the Supreme Commander of APEN. - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:19, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Replying to Spinningspark, there appear to be numerous experts on Moseley online that can be contacted, including jimmosely.com, to inquire if he ever admitted involvement in APEN or ever used the alias "J.T. Anderson" (Supreme Commander) in any of his writings or interviews. If that can be established, I agree that a merge to the Moseley article would be appropriate. So to anyone interested, I would save the article content and leave it an open investigation. 5Q5|✉ 12:40, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The only source cited makes it clear that this was only a planned project rather than an operating mine. I couldn't find much more information, but this is more recent and on p22 still makes it seem as if it is looking for investment, rather than in operation.

Aurat (word)

[edit]
Aurat (word) (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)

Self nomination for AFD since article copy pasted to Draft:Aurat for incubation because current article title Aurat (word) is misleading and confusing leading to western systemic bias and stifling the article growth. Detail reason follows in following section:

Detail Reason for self nomination of AFD

[edit]
What article originally intended it include
[edit]

The terms "Aurat", "Arvad", "Avret", and "Awrath" may refer to: Women of Asian religious or cultural descent Women of Asian religious or cultural descent and identity.

Though grammar and various facets of identity of Aurat are to be covered in this article, but purpose of article Aurat (English Wikipedia article) is just not limited to any single facet but whole gamut of association, experiences, perceptions, social and cultural construct of Asian women and people who identify and/or associate themselves with 'Aurat'. Including taking note of cultural, popular culture & literary references, contemporary and also accumulated over the centuries.

  • Literary reviews of those women autobiographies who are identified or identify themselves as Aurat example
  • Coverage of 'Aurat' through Essays, research, stories, novels, poetry other related literature.
  • Coverage of 'Aurat' through fine arts like paintings to performing arts like dramas and movies
  • Activism, Conservative and modernist feminist views.
  • When articles related to different facets are their then why do we have an article ? Only looking at separated body parts does not give idea of Human being, only presenting human being is not enough but total associated experience need to be presented. And that what we are supposed to do in encyclopedic writings.
Reason for self nomination for AFD
[edit]

As predicted @ Talk:Aurat#Requested move 11 May 2020 edits like this one are but natural. I can't blame user like Staszek Lem because we selected a title so. Question is not which content he deleted. First Non-word related content will go, then Wikipedia is not dictionary so rest of the content will go.

That what I did not intend when I started article and made content support requests on so many Asian language Wikipedias too. When article for Woman exists simultaneously article for Lady too exists but some how western systemic bias of English Wikipedia community wants to stifle existence of "Aurat" on English Wikipedia. I find myself helpless so as now decided to incubate article at Draft:Aurat and put for AFD here.

Questions answered

[edit]
  • On one of talk pages question was asked "...could you explain what part of it is misleading and causing systemic bias?.."
As explained above article was never intended for limited dictionary purpose but entire gamut of human experience. So word in bracket "(word)" is specially misleading. The article deserves original title Aurat or may be some thing like Aurat (Women of Asian descent) something like so editors don't end up removing non grammatical content from article. Why I used word western systemic bias of Wikipedians because title Aurat got denied at Talk:Aurat through a process where people of Asian descent didn't represent proportionately enough.
I have updated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aurat (word) for your question. Article can't be reorganized (attempts to reorganizing unlikely to succeed) because other editors will keep deleting any non grammar content and that is already happening at the article.
Rather than after putting all effort some one comes and deletes content saying it's beyond a scope of word is an harassment of those people who take all the effort to make article for group of women 'Aurat' and content keep getting deleted.
Rather let me put it my self for deletion so my own efforts and of other editors won't go wasted.
Posting this reply on deletion request page too. Thanks for your concerns

  • Keep, but purge the South Asian systemic bias. For hundreds of millions of Southeast Asians, the word "Aurat" simply means Awrah. That's a topic that strongly and often negatively affects women's lives, but does not mean "woman" (of whatever descent); and to a lesser segree, it also affects men in those cultures. This is neither reflected in the dab Aurat nor in Aurat (word). The same South Asian systemic bias is visible in the proposed title Aurat (Women of Asian descent). –Austronesier (talk) 07:23, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify, find a notable coherent and non-WP:COATRACK topic ("encyclopedic notability of any of the aspect" (per comment below) is not enough: WP:NOTESSAY), and remove the South Asian systemic bias. –Austronesier (talk) 08:21, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I answered both on Talk:Aurat (word) as bellow.
@Austronesier: Thanks for your frank expression. And you seem to know linguistics better.
1) Asians including South Asians did not turn up -even to make objections- in previous discussion @ Talk:Aurat#Requested move 11 May 2020 despite similar requests across pages. Due to AFD at least few seem to take notice. Asian's own disinterest too contributes in systemic bias.
2)Some one else's stifling edit removed disambiguating hatnote template making mention about 'Intimate parts in Islam' This is how systemic bias enters unknowingly.
3) When 'Intimate parts in Islam' article already exists for 'awrah does same meaning of 'Aurat' used in south east asia would need another article? Is it not wise to allocate title for rest of Asia associating with Aurat as cultural women.
4) And what happens in south east Asia when woman's entire whole body is considered 'Aurat' (Then in that case is not whole body of south east Asian woman means whole women?) Do you need refs for some conservatives consider whole body as Aurat in south east Asia too?
5) If we reserve article for south Asians only where we will fit in Azerbaijani using word arvad etymologically from same family. And then what to do with historic usage as woman by Persians and ottoman Turkish? And what do we do with, "As per Moshe Piamenta in his book "Islam in Everyday Arabic Speech", notes that in bedouin language, synecdochic usage of word 'awrat' denotes 'woman'.[1]
6) @Staszek Lem: here it self another user asking to go some where else with gamut. He only relates with word and not the gamut. What do we do ? You also initially commented "...The article is about the word, not about (rest of XYZ).." The word "Word" in the title, automatically informs limited scope to the article every editor would not visit article talk page before deleting rest of gamut, isn't it? ( I don't know if at all you visited talk page before edits usually very few study talk page before any edit isn't it?)
Don't we need to find proper solution to article title that would allow the gamut part without putting editors in trouble.
What do you think, your inputs are welcome. Thanks
Bookku (talk) 08:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will only answer point 1) and 4) now. Ad 1: I have been aware of the RM-discussion, but didn't care about it, because I am more interested in discussions about the creation of content than about the creation of a mess. Ad 4: Despite the fact there are conservative Islamic schools of thought in SE Asia which consider the entire female body as awrah, the word aurat does not mean "woman" in SE Asian languages. –Austronesier (talk) 08:42, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have reason for very strong argument here because there no real intention existed to appropriate south east Asian Women's perspective, Whatever way article improves directly or indirectly south east Asian women too would be in benefit. Unfortunately not many women or Muslim women in discussions across Wikipedias to concur either way.
On side note in south east Asia, aurat does not mean "woman" but entire awrah of female too means "Aurat" (to draw a parallel, It's like saying, 'we don't eat but have food'). :) Okay but not insisting on the point :)
Any encyclopedic articles are mess at beginning level, instead of longer duration in draft I brought article to main name space with a hope that better attention from Asian wikipedians will help improve article faster, but that any way not happening then why insist on retaining a messy article in main namespace why not let it get draft and breathe easier until wikipedian community takes call for better title.

  • On the contrary: Delete the draft and move the article to draft space. The copy-paste of the article's content into a new draft page was a mistake. As for the article itself—if it is to be about the word—what makes the word suitable for a Wikipedia article doesn't begin until the Objections section. Everything up until that point is (a) dictionary-style coverage of the word, its various meanings and connotations, and its etymology (see WP:NOTDICTIONARY) and (b) material that, in English, could just as well have been composed without any use of the word "aurat" at all; its topic is really "social views of women in certain societies".
Certainly, some context needs to be given for the content in the Objections section to make sense, but the existing content goes into way more detail than necessary for that. Its bulk obscures that the Objections material is the core of what justifies having an article about the word 'aurat' at all.
The "in popular culture" section is a digression, free-associating trivia, shedding no light on the word, and doesn't belong here.
If the nominator's point is that the article should be about the concept rather than the word, that gets me back to the existing content being about social views on women in certain societies. That, in the language of those societies, the word aurat is used isn't really any more relevant than is the fact that in France the word used to refer to automobiles is voitures is relevant to Automotive industry in France. The controversy over aurat could appear as an example of reaction to those social views. But a note on that would be subordinate to the article's primary topic.

  • Keep but possibly then move to "Aurat (concept)" or some similar title which clarifies the topic of the article.
  • Draftify
Some background: I am not an expert in this subject area, but I do a lot of work with disambiguation pages etc.
  • I was alerted to this topic when a long-standing disambiguation page Aurat was moved to Aurat (disambiguation) by User:Bookku on 11 May with no discussion, to make way for their new article: this move would only have been correct if "Aurat", as described in that new article, was the "Primary Topic", more often sought in the encyclopedia than all the other uses put together. This seemed unlikely as the subject had not had a Wikipedia article at all until that point, but I could not simply revert the move so made a formal Move Request to revert the disambiguation page to the base name and move the new article to Aurat (word) (which seemed an appropriate title as the article began "Aurat is word for women (also wife) specially in south Asia..."). After discussion at Talk:Aurat, the dab page was moved back to the basic title (ie consensus that there is currently no Primary Topic), and the new article was moved to Aurat (word). Mid-discussion the idea of moving to a different title was raised, but that would have confused the discussion.
  • I removed two inappropriate hatnotes: that's presumably what is listed above as "Some one else's stifling edit removed disambiguating hatnote template making mention about 'Intimate parts in Islam' This is how systemic bias enters unknowingly."
  • As "Awrah" does not redirect to this article, the hatnote "For other uses of "Awrah", see Intimate parts in Islam." is not apppropriate. As Awrah redirects to Intimate parts in Islam, it might, or might not, be appropriate to add a {{redirect}} hatnote to that article: "Awrah redirects here. For the related term see Aurat (word)", or some such wording.
  • The {{Disamb-terms}} hatnote ("The terms "Aurat", "Arvad", "Avrat", and "Awrath" may refer to: Women of Asian religious or cultural descent.") is for use at the head of a disambiguation page. It was not appropriate here.
Bookku does not appear to recognise, or be willing to go along with, Wikipedia's Manual of Style.
  • Only one editor seems to have made any substantial edits to this article. I notice that Bookku has now tried to alert many editors to this discussion, by posting on the talk pages of over 30 Wikiprojects and related articles. Moving the article to draft at this stage does not seem helpful: if there is a topic here to be written about then it should be being written about here in mainspace with contributions from other interested editors.
PamD 11:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK, changed my !vote to "Draftify". There seems to be a probably notable word or concept - the fact that English language sources talk about "Aurat March", not just "Women's March" suggests this - but the current article rambles around and needs a lot more work and focus. Then it can be proposed at AfC when it is fit for mainspace. After/if it is in mainspace there could be a properly discussed Request to Move if anyone proposed it as the Primary Topic of the term "Aurat", rather than the previous unilateral decision to demote a long-standing disambiguation page. PamD 15:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "... if there is a topic here to be written about ...": well, precisely. This article doesn't know yet what its topic is. The content is about at least two topics. So how are we going to choose an appropriate title for it? I think your remark is a reason why it should be moved to draft space, so that interested editors can figure out what this article will be about, or split it into multiple articles about different topics, before putting into article space appropriately titled content. Largoplazo (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The page is a horrible mish-mash of dicdef, customs women are expected to follow in South Asia, and attitudes to female sexual body parts. There is no clear topic to this page, so there is no clear place it can be moved to that would make sense. SpinningSpark 00:44, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment for Record: As one user said above, in spite of appeal on several talk pages to join discussion whether this time or previous time @ Talk:Aurat neither Asians in General or South Asians in particular did not turn up in these discussions. And absolutely not surprise, I have been scouting and looking for women Wikipedian IDs for translating Women rights article except south of South Asia in rest of Asian language Wikipedias women seem to be largely absent. Much of feminist narratives are not even updated on English Wikipedia -What do article USA France speak of women rights issues in their own countries ? situation for the rest is not good enough isn't a surprise.
It's not every thing is bad, rather most of my other articles got very good curation support, without over riding encyclopedic priorities. Unfortunately Aurat did not turn out to be lucky.
Various objections to the article are sign of unawareness ignorance and unwillingness to know more about a distinct women's culture which likely to loose it's own identity in times of Globalisation. Much sources are available in respective local vernacular languages (but if those are not participating then it's obvious they will lose some where by own disinterest or absence)
These objections are having one more characteristic of being logically fallacious. Various other multiple women related articles are existing on English Wikipedia they will be having etymologies discussed, culture and social evils discussed. Even articles on non English words do exist, and why those should not be there in encyclopedia?
Here we refuse disambiguation support in hat note on one hand overlooking need of reader support; same time hand over core article title space to disambiguation overlooking protest and artificially help generate issue how to name the article!
They claim main article title Aurat needs to be used as disambiguation page for benefit of people searching movie titles and those readers will have great inconvenience, instead of an encyclopedic article! What a great reason, why not apply same logic to articles Girl,Woman, Female, Lady and many many other articles too because they too would have many movies and other popular culture titles and hand over all those article titles for disambiguation.
And some one objected me proposing to include encyclopedic section on popular culture. List of popular culture links will do, but a section of encyclopedic writing about popular culture will not do and we will term it as mixing up many subjects! I feel concept of encyclopedia being turned upside down, but when rest of Wikipedian democracy would not feel so my minority opinion would not have much scope. Then is it not really better let the article get deleted.
I know, many times rants have no value (for various reasons), so this is just for record with least hope.

You've written a lot (TLDR) but that gets me no closer to understanding what the topic of the article is actually supposed to be. What would you write in the short description field?

Geographical disams are not restricted to articles on places. Johnbod (talk) 19:34, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All right, but that gets us no closer to knowing what the topic of the article is. Is there an encyclopaedic topic that called Aurat that is common to all of South Asia? If so, what is it? We can't even begin to address what the article should be called, let alone whether it is notable, until that is answered. Then there is the question of whether this effort is actually helpful in constructing that article or whether it is just easier to start again. If a page can't clearly get across what the subject is, it is a pretty hopeless case. SpinningSpark 19:46, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spinningspark: I think the topic of this article is a commonly used word and it's meaning, origin and the social agendas associated with it. Many people speak it as a reference to women in parts of Asia (including India), without knowing much about it. On a personal basis, I used to think it was Hindi for "woman", and now I have found out it's origin and other meanings so for me it is a word that must have become popular in India during the Mughal overtaking. I think this article is encyclopedic, as many think it is just a word for any woman, but it has a history of its own. I think we should do some expansion and cleanup.--Navinsingh133 (talk) 22:39, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • DeleteDraftify: this needs to be WP:TNTed; incomprehensible article, start over. To me "Aurat" is just the Hindi translation of "women" without any special meaning. But this article seems to be about some made up neo-feminist SJW concept. The article's author seems to be arguing about some "distinct women's culture" in South Asia that needs to be documented in "Aurat" article. But there's a distinct women's culture in every single culture? It can simply be documented articles titled "Women in [some culture]". From my understanding, some content can go to Women in Islam, Women in Hinduism, Women in South Asia or Women in India. after reading the author's "for the record" statement, I agree that perhaps the article just needs some more work. I'll recommend draftification and have this go through AfC. Regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 07:58, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on the lines of what Johnbod said above. --Hindustanilanguage (talk) 17:20, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, Aurat is a common word for women in parts of Asia, used by billions of people. I believe that the subject alone is encyclopedic enough. I am a little confused by all the discussions here and there so I'll just review the article on my own. It does need some rework but it should be kept. We can keep articles of less importance but delete this? It's my opinion that the article is kept and further improvements be made as needed. Any non-encyclopedic content should be removed. Thanks.--Navinsingh133 (talk) 22:22, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I believe it is a different topic, both on a personal basis and encyclopedic point of view. This word seems to have different meanings in different parts of Asia, In some places like India it is used for a normal respected women and in some places it is a word depicting women as objects. Its origin, its impact, its recognition etc. can't be under "Women in Asia". That is too broad for this subject. I just found an entire side of it while reviewing the article. Personally for me, how it became a Hindi word should also be explained in the article. I agree with Spinningspark that its misuse should be stopped and personal views removed immediately. We need to perform some cleanups. Admins better get their mop. Also, I think we should add a new section otherwise I will get lost in all these codes.--Navinsingh133 (talk) 22:57, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Navinsingh133: Article content cleanup is most definitely not the job of administrators. It's the job of ordinary editors, i.e. you. I asked above for the creator to say what they would write in the short description field, but they haven't answered yet. I'll ask you the same question. If the answer is "Aurat is a word meaning <foo>" (like the article currently opens with) then this is not a viable Wikipedia article. Meanings of words belong in Wiktionary:, not here. You say in your post that the word has a different meaning in India to what it has in, say, Malaysia. That shows that the word does not represent a single concept. Wikipedia articles should be about things (including people and concepts), not about words. An article on the denigration or subservience of women in Asia might be viable, an article on a word that is sometimes used in that sense, probably not. SpinningSpark 11:57, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, used by "billions of people" is not a good reason for creating an article on a word. Many English words are used by billions (frankly, heighten, spotted, striped, layabout) but don't have articles. And they don't have them for a good reason. SpinningSpark 13:35, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spinningspark: Just for sake of it, I have already written, but to be honest I can't be comfortable with any restrictive definitions or short description cause those are our conveniences for improving our understanding-My/our understanding definitions and short descriptions don't stop how the earth moves. Suppose I am Alien-pedian of an distant alien planet starting article on 'Earth', I will define or short describe it but not use it for restrictive purposes what to include in article because it will create unnecessary hindrance in potential growth of the article. As some thing is discovered I will go on adding earth related encyclopedic notes and as any section increases more I will fork them out in different article.
Coming back to Wikipedia on earth, let me give you example, there is article Islamic feminism, information which was not relevant after a talk page notice I deleted, but there is one more section on dress codes where editors seems went on adding lot of content, length of section has gone out of proportion. Now I am thinking on forking it out for "Islamic feminist views on Dress code". Wikipedia is continuously developing encyclopedia why curation make encyclopedic writers spend disproportionate energy to convince first, otherwise you don't work, is the sky falling down? is this not irrational level of fear creating impediments in encyclopedic spirit? Proper encyclopedic writers are less in numbers than curators. But curator's phobias are over riding encyclopedic spirit in the whole process. What happens if the encyclopedic spirit goes ahead with proper referenced content? at the most after few weeks / months / years you will split or move the article but whatever you will be having is more not less.
Aurat is human socio-cultural entity has evolved and existed since around a thousand year by now. Here itself with an extra effort at least one Azerbaijani user came in support of the article, had I agreed to constraining definition and short description an opportunity of information would if not lost is certainly postponed. Why do I assume every information exists in English world. I have not contacted any central Asian using russian or an African using french and may be more languages using Aurat word tomorrow an editor comes searching and would add some info Who knows ? How do I know 'Women of Asian' is not a restrictive short description-I don't like presuming things world is too big for me and I like to keep opportunities open as long as possible un til I am fully sure no opportunities are lost. That is my way of thinking and working which others may not.
In the same amount of rant I wrote on this talk page I could have developed some different article by now. Any ways thanks and warm regardsBookku (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Millions of Wikipedia articles are cohesive treatments of one topic. You appear to be arguing that that's too severe a constraint, despite the ease with which so many editors have conformed to it. It's as though you were arguing that the article about the planet Earth should be named Earth (word), that it should include material about soil (for which "earth" is a synonym), earthquakes, fracking, and pollution—while saying no more about either the word "Earth" or the planet Earth itself than defining "Earth is the third planet from the sun", giving the etymology, and mentioning that the Latin equivalent is "terra".

The originator may have been trying to create an article along the lines of Nigger, but the WP:NOTDICTIONARY opening paragraphs of the page have managed to completely obscure that. SpinningSpark 12:30, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Expanding on your remark, the "N-word" itself, of course, is the subject of sociological focus: the taboos and controversies that have arisen surrounding its use. There's a great deal more to be said about the word than would be covered by a dictionary. The aurat article doesn't make it clear that this is true about "aurat". It's more dictionary coverage of the word followed by encyclopedic coverage of what it refers to rather than itself. Largoplazo (talk) 12:54, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It was some of the sources in the article that led me to that comment rather than the article itself. Particularly Mona Hassan's piece and the Geografia article about 1930s Malaysia. SpinningSpark 13:24, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
May be some of the discussions missing the some nuances but same may inspire some one to do more encyclopedic writing on the topic.
Any word special human physical attributes are and can be used in insulting manner, but some may be associating some of positive attributes in positive manner. If I start writing an article on word Paki from it's etymology side readers will start speculating if it is limited to dictionary purpose, when I cover usage of word as insult in some part of the world people will speculate to that limit, many Pakistanis suffering will put up those attributes, but some will be there who associate whole socio-cultural experience on more positive side. Any Indians can come and object on creation of cultural articles in the name of Pakistan claiming it to be just temporary political identity on unending time scale and geographically and culturally Pakistanis are Indians and they do not deserve separate article on culture. May be or may not temporary identity but it is there and separate articles on Pakistani culture do exist. Same way 'Aurat' is an identity used to be there in Turkey and Persia. Today may not be there but for encyclopedic purposes historical identity in Persia and Turkey remains notable.

@Spinningspark:, Thanks for enlightening me that cleanup is definitely not for the admins. I still firmly believe that the article should be kept. "Meanings of word belong in wikitionary"- that's true, but what about other information such as history, stigma and impacts? I see you have given some words as examples of words spoken by billions , to justify your opinion. I don't think adjectives and adverbs are good for examples in general cases, but I'm not that "good" in grammar so I'll just stay on what you have said here. Plain and short, I think this should be kept, because this article does what Wikipedia does, it is encyclopedic, and the subject is not a direct violation of WP guidelines. Deleting articles like Miss, Esquire, Aurat is not a viable thing. So I still believe it should be kept. Although some rewriting from independent perspective maybe needed. Thanks--Navinsingh133 (talk) 17:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment just for record: Since it is almost 6 days for second round of discussion. Want to cover some of the points just record sake. As such I would prefer more peaceful freer environment for encyclopedic writing which needs lot of it's own effort, that's why I self nominated the article and would prefer to go to Draft mode and rework peacefully. Working more on multiple aspect may be confusing some of the readers, but article is just start class needs to be understood. How so ever claimed to be messy or gobbledygook, does not reduce encyclopedic notability of any of the aspect. Which individual aspects should be there in single article and which to be forked out only arises when growth is not stifled.
One likes it or not Asians notably Persians and Ottomans of medieval times shared and influenced some cultural aspects right from Azerbaijan to South Asia
Since concept of 'Aurat' is distinct cultural milieu is distinct. South India that is south of South Asia women too do not share all aspects with north Indian 'Aurat'. When south Asian words like 'Daaman', 'aanchal' 'chunari', 'Purdah' come those are not just pieces of cloth but colloquial and literary metaphors do come in, explaining those in separate individual articles do not create a complete image of a human cultural entity. When one google 'Aurat' word for metaphors and tasawwoor (descriptions) lot many references will start becoming available in South Asian local languages.
Some one criticized at beginning of this weeks saying this is some neo feminist project (- a kind victim blaming). A culture which is multiple centuries old can not be neo feminist construct in itself. For neo feminist criticism there are dozens of other articles to work on, If some one had read previous discussion would have realized to the contrary. When I listed for Afd and working on the article one thing is very clear in my mind is of it's notability and several references waiting to get explored.
Thanks to every one for participating in discussion and bringing out various facets. Regards Bookku (talk) 07:20, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • DRAFTIFY to allow continued work, with the proviso that whatever comes out of it into article space later needs to be coverage of a cohesive topic (no WP:COATRACK), as I've discussed above, that conforms to requirements for main space articles (including no pure dictionary definitions) and with a title that matches the content. If the draft article is split into two or more articles while in Draft space or the content is, instead, merged appropriately into existing articles, so be it.

@Austronesier:
1) What it seems to me is your main concern is of disambiguation. If really disambiguation is your main concern, why don't you take a proactive initiative in putting in disambiguation templates.
It is not once but two times, Once I myself tried to put in disambig info on page Aurat second time I placed on Aurat (word) too both times some one deleted it. Probably because there is no mention of Indonesian /Malaysian sense of word Aurat in article awrah. You will be having better references to include Indonesian /Malaysian sense of word Aurat in article awrah so do request you to take initiative in this respect.
2) I have not understood your principle of purging properly enough. If there is proper disambiguation in respect to Malaysia and Indonesian concerns why South Asia or for that matter Azerbaijan and Kurdish for matter be purged. Do you want to punish Azerbaijan and Kurdish encyclopedic along with South Asia ? Why so ?
My point is if you purge South Asia plus Azerbaijan (probably and Kurdish) What remains is article of only 2 paragraphs about grammatical origin and that info can be included in article Awrah it self. Once South Asia plus Azerbaijan (probably and Kurdish) purged there is no case for the separate article. And I could foresee that will happen with word "word" in bracket hence I self initiated afd.
Article Aurat is primarily needed for taking socio-cultural distinct identity in South Asia in particular. If Azerbaijan (probably and Kurdish) would not have been there I would have happily agreed with title Aurat (South Asia) for my content. If don't Azerbaijan (probably and Kurdish) languages don't want to be on board with South Asians then article will remain for south Asians. I don't want to close opportunities of Azerbaijan (probably and Kurdish) languages. I hope you are getting my point. If you don't want to consider anything beyond your area then that is different issue.
So let me suggest you again probably your point is limited to disambiguation related to Malaysian and Indonesian language and you need to take proactive steps for disambiguation. Rest of the issues do not need to matter you much. IMHO.

  • Delete: First of all, what kind of mess is the nominator trying to create here on an AfD; going on a rant and arguing with every voter. This is not the place to discuss your thesis. Closing admin needs to userfy the content and ask him to contribute to articles like Women in India or other like articles. I agree completely with Spinningspark's rationale here. The page creator had a particular set of idea on how to approach the subject, hence he creates a page, substantially keeps editing it, dislikes what other editors are contributing and decides to nominate the article he created so he can have a second round of this cycle. The quality and quantity of references in the article don't matter in a potpourri of a social topic like this. My vote is userfy the content, delete from mainspace, and ask the editor to contribute to other like articles. - Harsh 18:28, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for supporting deletion of the article, Wikipedia is collaborative project and creation and retention of the same can not be a responsibility of any single shoulder. By mistake if some read this discussion some day, may be there would be an odd person who will appreciate fact that the article creator could foresee what is going to happen and self initiated article for deletion, and may be he is good in fore seeing and may be what did he fore see space for distinct article may not be entirely wrong.
I will thank the user for at least admitting that there is quantity and quality references do exist so one logical inference is work done on the topic is well researched.
What do I request my critics is just not to stop at mansplaining, wikisplaining (I have useryfied content well in advance, I can fore see things better :) ) but to take an initiative and use this content in other articles wherever they find it that it suits better- since it is well researched it may benefit articles about women in South Asia which otherwise are not at their best, if they work harder and put information in their respective mother tongue wikis will be far better because condition of women related articles on those wikis they themselves would be knowing better. And they would also be knowing what is level of participation of women editors in north Asian Wikis in general and Hindi and Urdu in particular.
After this deletion closes I am going to conduct research on participation of women editors in deletion discussions. May be some one want to join me in the research.
True part: The page creator had a particular set of idea on how to approach the subject, hence he creates a page, substantially keeps editing it
Pointing out with due respect 'Absolute false accusation: dislikes what other editors are contributing Nobody else contributed is the problem. There are no reverts from my side on this article and not many in any other article. Far from stopping any one I have sent too many invitations for editing the articles including this one And I express my regrets to those who come for reading and editing this article if they get shocked to read this deletion discussion, but I am simply helpless.
Last but not least, far from arguing with any one I welcomed all opinions even contrary to me. I have not even requested any one to change their opinions. I have specifically mentioned all my rant is just for record purpose. That too most of it I wrote either at beginning or end of 7 days.
And if any one expects not to answer even for record purpose, then I have no words no arguments.

Copy paste is not the same thing as userfication. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia explains why copy paste is a bad thing. It says If an article is being moved to userspace to avoid deletion (or to work on after deletion), the full history should be visible (restored if necessary) and then moved using the move button.

Thanks for response, Mostly my own contribution which I my self requested to be deleted I will save some where is but natural. Tell me what are technicalities I am not against fulfilling any technicality. Since you told I will do it again to complete technicality no issues. The thing is where I am single main contributor technicality should not be major issue.
When I brought in article I had some different expectations, that article will have easier search easier connect and more edits from different people who know the subject well and interested. I didn't expect enforcing unexpected article title who do not know the subject well enough. If wrong title changed perception, and article can't be added with other relevant info just because of title then one can not make article move request also and article becomes practically redundant then it is all proper to file afd. Some body likes it or not people file afd here because that gives main idea which way consensus is going. So one can decide well how much to spend further time on which aspects. That is everybody's prerogative to put article for afd and we are almost done through process. I thanked every one for participation and awaiting closure of discussion.

  • As the creator of the article I will admit I thought it was notable when I made it and notable now. I will concede it doesn't have the strongest case for notability but since notability is, for this purpose, binary I think it's enough to be kept. My thinking at the time reflected the kind of sources SportingFlyer found - that NBC Sports article led me back to the blog which is sourced as a reference. I will say that I looked into the MLB glossary prior to creation and as far as I can tell it is created by MLB writers and is not a wiki. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:31, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not satisfy WP:SOLDIER or WP:NBIO. Just being a brevet brigadier general does not make notability inherent. See our article Brevet (military) which clearly states Brevet rank in the Union Army, whether in the Regular Army or the United States Volunteers, during and at the conclusion of the American Civil War, may be regarded as an honorary title which conferred none of the authority, precedence, nor pay of real or full rank. There's no indication of other significant coverage outside of a brief entry in the 1917 Encyclopedia of Connecticut Biography which seems to be a genealogical publication that discusses him in the context of being the descendent of a 'Jacob Francis Tourtellotte'. Notability is not WP:INHERITED. (confer prior discussions about similar individuals 1 and 2) Eddie891 Talk Work 19:59, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • possible keep -- A brevet rank is given to a soldier who has distinguished himself, enabling to hold a command above the level of his substantive rank. My question is whether a Brigadier-General is a high enough rank to confer WP notability, a matter of which I am not sure. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    He was brevetted late, according to our list on March 13, 1865 and it was confirmed on March 12, 1866. This makes it highly unlikely that he ever commanded troops in the ACW. Given that this says he re-entered the army after the Civil War as a captain and rose to colonel, it's probable that he never held command as a brigadier general. Eddie891 Talk Work 11:45, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Tourtellotte commanded the 4th Minnesota Infantry from at least as far back as the Battle of Champion's Hill after its original colonel moved up to brigade command. As a result, he has some degree of coverage in several Civil War battle histories, such as Timothy B. Smith's The Union Assaults on Vicksburg. He was the commander of the Union garrison in the Battle of Allatoona and as such was the initial commander before Union reinforcements arrived, giving him substantial coverage in an article from the collection The Tennessee Campaign of 1864.[26] I would qualify that this would constitute having a substantial impact on a major action (WP:SOLDIER#4). Per the regimental history and the Official Records, Tourtellotte was elevated to brigade command in April 1865 but it appears that his unit was in reserve at Bentonville, so no combat there, but Allatoona provides the same notability IMO. In addition, while a major postwar he was superintendent of Indian affairs for Utah and so also receives coverage from that aspect of his career. [27], [28].

  • (changing !vote) Weak keep - Phil Gottschalk's In Deadly Earnest (I've got a print copy in front of me, please take this AGF) seems to indicate that Tourtellotte played a fairly big role at the Battle of Allatoona, which would maybe pass NSOLDIER #4.

There are a few sources talking about this topic, but the coaster doesn't yet have a name and the amount of information is minuscule. Other than a passing mention that's very brief, we don't yet have enough to create an article. The WikiProject over this subject area typically waits until the name is announced and major, reputable sources (such as LAT or NYT) have picked up on it. Right now, we're limited to a handful of fansite blogs, and none of which report the official name. The reliable information we have so far is already being covered at the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith article. GoneIn60 (talk) 04:13, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    Yanne, Andrew; Heller, Gillis (2009). Signs of a Colonial Era. Aberdeen, Hong Kong: Hong Kong University Press. p. 45. ISBN 978-962-209-944-9. Retrieved 2020-06-18.

    The book notes:

    William Staveley, administrator 1848

    Staveley Street 士他花利街 sih tā fā leih gāai

    Staveley Street in Central is named after William Stanley (士他花利 sih tā fā leih; 1784–1854), a Major General and Lieutenant Governor of Hong Kong between 1848 and 1851 and the administrator of Hong Kong in March 1848 before the arrival of the next Governor, Samuel Bonham. The street is a pedestrian-only path parallel to Peel Street. Starting from Queen's Road Central, the path rises past Wellington Street upwards to Gage Street. Notice that the Chinese characters on this sign are written right to left instead of the usual left to right. In writing Chinese, you move frorm right to left only when writing downwards. However, there are many instances in Hong Kong, for example on trucks, where the characters are written from right to left horizontally.

    This is not enough to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline but this is enough to verify the material for a merge. I completed a merge.

  • Keep. This filmmaker has been notable since 2017, as he has a track record with the festivals his films were accepted in and he is pushing the boundaries of the subject matter he is focused on his work, expressing his own voice through the art of film. He had a major distributor (Searchlight Pictures, now owned by Disney) acquire "Lavender" (2019) and he has received word-of-mouth recognition from those who have watched his work. So for all of those reasons, I say the article stays up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HM2021 (talk • contribs) 19:46, 13 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BASIC and WP:ENT. Of the references currently in the article:

  • 1 is from XXX Showcase, a pornography magazine. I don't have access but would guess that it's an interview.
  • 2 is a (somewhat fluffy) profile associated with Mr. Donovan's induction into the GayVN Hall of Fame. Please note that porn industry awards no longer count towards anything now that PORNBIO has been deprecated.
  • 3 and 4 (AVN) are very obvious press releases; the former mentions him only in passing.
  • The external links are a deadlinked pornography website, an award roster for another porn industry award, and some user-generated database listings.

I looked for additional sources and found only trivial or promotional coverage: this in a Jeffrey Escoffier book, this in the Sun-Sentinel, a small handful of mentions in back issues of the Bay Area Reporter, this in the Advocate, etc. Cheers, gnu57 05:00, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Not voting on this. The breed exists on the Internet and it has a breed website, however the website claims it has breed standard with Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiano, however the breed is not on their list. The Italian language version of Wikipedia page has no references at all!User:Davidstewartharvey
I agree, you can find mentions about these dogs on unreliable websites, but nothing attributable to establish notability, and yes the few pages that do exist on our sister projects are either attributed to the same website as this page or completely unsourced. Cavalryman (talk) 06:37, 18 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. The tale of yet another 20th century breeder who just happen to notice that there was a special dog that was unrecognised by everybody else. The one source is a website of dubious lineage and text without author nor references, therefore it fails WP:REPUTABLE as a source. Google Books and Google Scholar have nothing to say on this dog - it fails WP:NOTABILITY. William Harristalk 08:16, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The sixteen Italian breeds recognised by the ENCI are listed here, and this is not one of them (nor do I see any claim that it is – the agraria source is clear that it is not, the breeder's website is silent). I don't know what the Associazione Nazionale Cinofilia Italiana is, but it is not the national dog breed association recognised by the ministry of agriculture (that's the Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana, see this downloadable document, page 7). Agraria.org is a website of variable reliability – some of the content is written by livestock experts, and is I believe reliable; this entry is unsigned, and mostly copied from here. No other reliable sources found; the various mentions in books from a century or more ago date from before the establishment of the Pastore Maremmano and Pastore Abruzzese breed societies in the early 1950s, and do not relate to this dog.

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NALBUM or WP:GNG. The listed source is for scifi.com, I am unfamiliar with this source and its reliability. However, a WP:BEFORE search brings up very little that would pass WP:MUSICRS. Last.fm is deprecated, I believe, the AllMusic entry is a track listing with no reviews (not even user reviews), there are a host of blogs, and various sites that look rather unreliable such as "Musicbrainz".

You can also see other sources listed in the five other Wikipedia articles about the Tolkien Ensemble and their work: The Tolkien Ensemble, An Evening in Rivendell, A Night in Rivendell, At Dawn in Rivendell and Leaving Rivendell. I think a Merge proposal would be more appropriate than a nomination for deletion. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:26, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Toughpigs: - Yes, those sources support notability for the band. However, those sources have no mention of this particular album. The days of an album only needing to be by a notable band to be notable are gone. Albums actually have to be notable on their own to pass WP:NALBUM now. A merge would likely not be a great idea, since the only sourced content is the massive track listing, which would be WP:UNDUE at the band article. I'm even ambivalent on a redirect, as there seems to be other albums/books/children's works with similar titles to this. While the Tolkien Ensemble is notable, not all of their works are. Hog Farm (talk) 16:47, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Tolkien Ensemble. The group appears to be notable, however there is not a whole lot of coverage on this specific album itself. Largely, I'm guessing, because it was merely a compilation of their previously released albums rather than any new material. WP:NALBUM states that album articles that are "little more than a track listing" (which is certainly the case here) could be more appropriate merged into the group's main or discography article. However, as this album was just a compilation of their prior four albums, and each of those already has an independent article, I don't think that would be particularly useful in this case.

  • Redirect to The Tolkien Ensemble - I agree that the "keep" voter above found sources that are about the band but not about this particular album. Some of their other albums, also listed by the "keep" voter above, have achieved various amounts of notability, but again that does nothing for this album. It is simply a collection of previous releases, probably intended for hardcore fans but unnoticed by the public or the music media. It is already mentioned briefly at the group's article and that is sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 00:45, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Daughter company of Danfoss that has not received significant coverage in independent and reliable secondary sources. The current article cites just one source, which is a quarter review press release. A web search reveals only press releases, market reports, and other such sources that each fail at least one of those four criteria. The article has multiple issues, mostly because the article creator (who wrote the bulk of the prose in the current version of the article) seems to be an employee of this subsidiary. Earlier, I tried to copy-edit this mess of an article a little, but ultimately decided it was hopeless because I can't see how this company is notable in any way, shape or form.

  • Comment As much as I hate losing pages when the person actually exists and is well known, it seems strange that a major DJ who has worked on the two largest independent radio stations in the UK and is a regular on the DJ scene has nothing more than tiny mentions anywhere or primary sources. I did a Gsearch and found the name is very common.User:Davidstewartharvey
  • Delete: Barely found anything about him. Not to mention the name is very common, per Davidstewartharvey. ASTIG😎 (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 02:20, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG, the extensive amount of unsourced early life information is suggestive of a COI on the part of the initial editor. Searching online, I was able to find mere-mentions, but not much else. Someone searching in Hindi or Malayalam may have more luck. signed, Rosguill talk 01:40, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
