Keep Aleksi was featured in an independent industry magazine several times (Wikidrummers) and the artists he's worked with have met national acclaim (Rolling Stone India, Independent Music Awards.)--Silex158 (talk) 16:15, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Notability is not inherited, so working with famous folk, doesn't necessarily make you famous. scope_creepTalk 17:39, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- I found one entry at [1] There is nothing else and profile is only two sentences. It needs more coverage than 1 article. scope_creepTalk 17:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- You don't have to be famous to have an entry in Wikipedia especially as a drummer or sound engineer. There are other 3rd party sources that have featured AG. There is another entry in Rolling Stone regarding his work as a mixing engineer for example. [2]. Additionally, he has been nominated for a major music award, another wikipedia guideline for notability in music.[3] --Silex158 (talk) 18:01, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- You have to be notable. The first ref in that list has:
- Essentially Entangled was recorded at The Edge Studios in Quincy, Massachusetts in the U.S. by Keith Assack and mixed by Aleksi Godard and Isaiah Weatherspoon
- Having a single mention as mixed by doesn't really satisfy WP:V. The second ref doesn't mention him at all. So that is not a valid reference. So far it has been mix of passing mentions, none of it satisfies WP:MUSICBIO. There is no coverage. scope_creepTalk 21:44, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

- I don't know, but I don't think so. He seemed to drum quite a few bands, so there is no real target as such. Certainly their site states he is their drummer. So I would say so. scope_creepTalk 14:38, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

The result was Withdrawn. Ignoring meatpuppetry with no rationale, I think sufficient rationale has been provided here so I am withdrawing my nomination. Initially, I had missed the significant coverage in CNN: this source is what pushes me over the edge from delete to keep, as it isn't specialist news and mentions her name repeatedly. I will now be going to the article to clean it up. I encourage those monitoring this discussion that are new to Wikipedia to read WP:TUTORIAL, if they wish to edit Wikipedia in the future.

Sorry, but I don't see notability under WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG here. Publishing papers and getting news coverage of those papers I don't think is enough to demonstrate notability. Sam-2727 (talk) 21:50, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - Notability criteria for academics state that the researcher has made a significant impact on their field. Dr. Quick's publication record and her service on several NASA missions, all of which have gained press coverage, point to the impact of her work. Publishing papers and eliciting independent news coverage is evidence of notability. WebMZ (talk) 22:18, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- WebMZ, the thing is though that most academics have this kind of press coverage. NASA is very good at getting press releases out. It's hard to gauge significant impact from just those. I think to rise to the level of "significant impact," there needs to be evidence (from reliable sources) that the work stands out amongst work of other academics in her field. Sam-2727 (talk) 22:23, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Sam-2727 that's actually not true. The vast majority of papers that are published are never covered by the press. And the reason NASA is good at attracting press coverage is because their work is high impact. By virtue of her being the lead author on several NASA publications, Dr. Quick has demonstrated her notability. Not everyone can be a NASA researcher after all! WebMZ (talk) Webmz (talk) 22:49, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- I think I'm doing ok for myself in academia; I get specialist press attention about once a decade, give or take. This is clearly high impact research which is getting picked up repeatedly by high-quality independent news sources. DWeir (talk) 23:26, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- DWeir and Webmz, I respctfully disagree. My colleagues and I get press attention for work connected to NASA, but I wouldn't consider myself notable. However, see my comment below which is why I'm withdrawing this nomination. Sam-2727 (talk) 01:19, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

- Yug, could you elaborate (I don't want this to seem like an attack or anything. I just want to understand which sources specifically indicate notability)? Sam-2727 (talk) 22:44, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep I would keep the article, there is notability. Laz~enwiki (talk) 22:47, 25 June 2020 (UTC) — Laz~enwiki (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep Well referenced for a starting page and easily meets notability requirements. Catwhoorg (talk) 23:03, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The work of Dr. Quick is notable by virtue not only of the significant number of research projects she either leads or is engaged in, but also I have read about her work on the popular astronomy/space website UniverseToday[1]. The work she is progressing is extremely interesting and topical given all the current and future planned missions. I'd like to see more of this kind of article as it promotes careers in science to our school students as well as of course being an important public record.

- Keep This is serious work, and exoplanet hunting is a worldwide endeavor, where actors and contributors need to be acknowledged. Press coverage is very local, but the mission of wikipedia is global, and allows the dissemination of that kind of research. The relative junior status of the researcher provides a way to see how participating organizations are currently inter-related. Awojdyla (talk) 23:17, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:GNG. The nominator's argument is that publishing papers and getting press coverage is routine, which is not the case. I think that the CNN and New York Post coverage demonstrate notability; it's just not true that any random academic paper gets headline coverage. — Toughpigs (talk) 23:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep on at least WP:NACADEMIC ground 7 (repeatedly quoted in conventional media, e.g. CNN, Scientific American, Space.com, New York Post), as an expert and first-author on multiple, separate, impactful academic outputs) and possibly 1, as well. DWeir (talk) 23:38, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep based on current mainstream coverage of results of the latest paper [5]. She certainly does not satifsy notability requirements based on her citation record (this is not a "significant impact on the field"), and the ASoP paper is too fresh to have garnered any citations yet - but uptake in mainstream media on this is probably already good enough for WP:NPROF #7.
- I'd also like to note that I'm quite disgusted with all the canvassed meatpuppetry on display above. If people are starting to get the impression that this type of uninformed clamouring has an impact on how decisions are made on WP, then we are in for some fun times at AfD. And some of the arguments from established editors who should know better are also quite baffling. We are not an academic incubator or career accelerator, people! --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 00:04, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- with all due respect, it would do all of us much good if we can just focus on the arguments and justifications provided here so far (and clearly articulate why they do or don't work). Meatpuppetry is a failed proposal and the canvassing Tweet has already been deleted. There are more substantial arguments here than "upvote" posts. Please keep the discussion civil and don't bite newcomers. FlybellFly (talk) 00:35, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- Well. As for "substantial arguments", I see five pointless pushbutton votes, five !votes that clearly have no clue what we are looking for re demonstrated notability in an academic, and three that seem to know what they are talking about. Bluntly, that is a crap demographic for decision-making. I'm quite happy to focus on the article-related arguments, but we are seeing a massive uptick of these crowd steamrolling attempts in the last few weeks, and unless they get called out and if necessary dealt with, we will be in trouble in the near future. So no, I'm not going to quietly ignore it. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 01:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- FlybellFly, I just found the twitter discussion. Just to clear up some potential misleading parts of it. Generally, when articles are nominated for deletion soon after being created, it is through the WP:NPP process. Specifically, I patrol all articles closely related to astronomy, which is how I came across this article. The arguments here (presented by Elmidae and others have convinced me that this is a weakly notable article. The passing coverage I saw when reviewing has been superseded in other sources (when I reviewed the article, most of the sources I looked at were primary sources i.e. her website). But Elmidae is right in that most of the votes here say, in essence, "the subject of this article is notable" without tying to specific guidelines. Most people believe that Wikipedia edits based off of "intuition" or "how much one likes the subject," but this is simply not the case. Wikipedia isn't the place for advocacy (well, for the most part): that should happen elsewhere and Wikipedia will respond to the coverage of that in reliable sources. Sam-2727 (talk) 01:17, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
- I know this discussion is "closed" but one more thing: the notion that most articles that are nominated for deletion are people deserving of Wikipedia articles isn't correct: most biography articles I nominate for deletion and others too are poorly disguised paid-for articles of white male businessmen, at least based on my experiences.

In that time, they have operated a tumblr site, https://the-coven.tumblr.com/ and an instagram account, https://www.instagram.com/thecovenartcollective/. They created a risographed tarot deck, launched at a one-day event, at the (now defunct) Dye House gallery in London, for which we have two sources. They produced a book, PINKD for which we also have a source (dazed). I've found an article on a show they had at Glass Door in Montreal, [9] I have not found sources that covert The Coven's first show in London 2014 at Gal Gallery, nor have I found anything for their "We, others" exhibition at POPOP gallery in Montreal. I also could not find anything that discusses their zines. I don't think there is sufficient coverage in independent, reliable sources to sustain an article about them.

For the records I created this article back in 2010. I had just read McPheters memoir of his time with the FBI then, and had a much looser definition of notability. Since then I have come to realize a few things. The coverage of the case that McPheters was involved in is mainly from primary sources, and even if it was a notable case, it would not prove that McPheters was notable. Nothing about his FBI career rises to a level that would make him notable. His memoir has not had the level of reviews or notice to make him notable, and his novels are even less impactful. So he is not notable as a writer, and is not notable as an FBI agent. John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:19, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

This is a neighborhood/subdivision of Chico: the NRHP nomination for the A. H. Chapman House says so. The only way it can be told from the rest of Chico is that the road grid is oriented differently.

- Merge to Chico, California#Neighborhoods. I did find some worthwhile sources about its relationship to Chico: [10], [11] However, there's nothing to indicate it was a community per se, and I don't see a need for anything longer than the paragraph already at Chico, California#Neighborhoods. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Looking at the target, there really is nothing to merge, especially considering that neither the material already in the section nor the material in the article has any meaningful sourcing (and isn't particularly encyclopedic. I could however go with a redirect to the section and paring down to what can be sourced encyclopedically (basically the material about Chapman and the house). Mangoe (talk) 22:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Subject clearly passes notability. The article can easily be reformed with a bit of rewriting and additional research. At present, it is not so flawed as to warrant deletion rather than keeping with existing tags. This seems like a rather clear-cut case of "keep". Ergo Sum 04:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

- Response: Thanks for your reply @Ergo Sum:. Many of those sources don't seem to offer the in-depth coverage required by WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:ORGCRITE and WP:MULTSOURCES. Furthermore, I think many of those sources are not reliable sources. For example: regarding your newsweek source: "post-2013 Newsweek articles are not generally reliable" per WP:RSP. Perhaps, for the purpose of better defining this discussion. Could you tell me the two or three sources you think are the best in terms of notability? This way we don't need to debate 9 sources at once, because after all, 2-3 high quality sources are sufficient. Quality matters, not quantity per the ORGDEPTH policy. (But a high quantity of sources can never compensate for the lack high quality sources, when determining notability). Apples&Manzanas (talk) 08:10, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- I never got a response, so for the benefit of the closing admin, I think I will definitively declare that it should be deleted on the grounds that I haven't found evidence that it has received (A) significant direct and in-depth coverage from (B) multiple (C) reliable sources. As required by WP:SIRS. Apples&Manzanas (talk) 23:16, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Apologies, I have been rather preoccupied. Excepting the Newsweek article, I think the remaining 8 are rather self-explanatory, and indicate sufficient coverage; articles are routinely kept with less coverage than this. I leave them there for any others, such as a closing admin, to examine. Ergo Sum 15:16, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- It would be really better if you pointed to what you think are the 3 best sources for the purposes of notability. The relative policies make it very clear that a collection of trivial mentions do count towards notability. A source needs to provide significant coverage in its own right to count towards notability. Each individual source needs to make "it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization" per WP:ORGDEPTH otherwise it does not count towards notability. There also needs to be multiple sources which each in their own right offer this in-depth coverage (WP:MULTSOURCES,WP:SIRS). In other words, the sources do not 'add up' together, this is made very clear in WP:ORGDEPTH,WP:SIRS,WP:MULTSOURCES...Each source must must offer significant and in-depth coverage in its own right. Look at the examples of what constitutes significant coverage in ORGDEPTH, your sources plainly fail all of those examples. Also note that there is a higher bar applied to proving notability for organizations than the GNG, a higher quality of sources is required to prove notability for organizations per WP:ORGCRITE.

- And for whatever it's worth, in addition to newsweek, i also question whether sources 1,3,8 are reliable sources. (And I dont think they offer significant coverage in my opinion either). Apples&Manzanas (talk) 07:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- To clarify what I meant about the Newsweek article: Newsweek is now evaluated on a case by case basis. For this article, I find no indicia of unreliability, and without any such evidence, I see nothing wrong with the article. Ergo Sum 16:44, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- The relevant RFC (Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_280#Newsweek_RfC) does say: "Note: This is not a "no consensus" close, because there is clear consensus that Newsweek is not generally reliable post–2013." Regardless, this is irrelevant, because the Newsweek source clearly does not offer anything close to the "significant" and "in-depth" coverage required by reliable sources. And moreover, the relevant policies also make it clear that multiple significant sources are required to prove notability. You didn't respond to what I had said at all. Apples&Manzanas (talk) 22:24, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if my comment did not seem responsive. I don't have a whole lot to add beyond what I said above. I believe the 8 articles sufficiently establish notability, when considering the threshold for notability that other articles up for deletion pass. You are welcome to disagree. It appears this will come down to the decision of a closing admin. Ergo Sum 23:04, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

- Reply: Just so you know, the quantity of sources is irrelevant here see WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:SIRS, the quality of the source is what matters. For a SINGLE source to be considered relevant for the purpose of notability it needs to make "it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization" per ORGDEPTH. There also needs to be multiple sources which do this and each source must provide this level of significant coverage in its own right, the sources do not 'add up' together and become significant. How can sources which provide one or two sentences worth of coverage make it possible to "to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization." Remember once again, that for the purposes of establishing notability EACH INDIVIDUAL source needs to make it possible to write more than a stub article. As for you saying that the other 8 sources seem sufficient, I assume you also didn't read me questioning whether 3 of those are actually reliable sources as well...As for you saying, "It appears this will come down to the decision of a closing admin", well...you could make the closing admin's job a lot more easy by simply agreeing that the article fails ORGDEPTH.

- Weak delete. I agree that she does not pass WP:PROF#C1. She also does not pass #C3, as her doctoral fellowship, teaching-development fellowship, and leadership-institute fellowship are not the kinds of fellows described in that criterion (major scholarly societies for which fellowship is a highly selective honor). They look more like financial support for students and certificate of attendance in teaching and leadership programs than like honors for high scholarly achievement. So the only remaining question is whether she passes #C2 for the John Jungck Prize for Excellence in Education [21]. It appears to be an award at the national or international level; the question is whether it's a "highly prestigious" award as required by #C2. It does appear to be the top educational award of the SMB (their other awards are for service or research). Since it's an educational award, we can look at whether it's given for the kind of high achievement in education that would also pass #C4, or for lower-level work. The citation says that it's for her creation of an open-access web hub for educational materials (QUBES), for local mentorship, and for being the co-editor of an edited volume, among which only QUBES looks potentially significant to me. There's also some nontrivial (but non-independent) coverage of QUBES at [22]. It doesn't look like enough to me, but with better sourcing of QUBES I could be convinced to change my mind. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Member of two under-represented groups in STEM: women and Latinx, notable w/o academic criteria. Nationally recognized, featured communicator at Mathematics Association of America [24]. FWIW: Google Scholar is a black box and as a librarian I don't find it reliable by itself. Impact factor measurements are also notoriously unreliable, especially for women and minorities. -Skome (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC) — Skome (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- None of those things are notability criteria. And it is irrelevant whether the impact factor is too low to pass notability or too unreliable to be used; either way we have no evidence of notability from it. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:43, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Project director of Math Mamas, a unique community for women in mathematics with children sponsored by the American Mathematical Society. Notable due to underrepresentation of women in math and relevant to criteria 1 and 4. Has been interviewed for notable media outlets including Washington Post [25] and Science Magazine [26] which also satisfies criteria 7. Agree with Skome regarding impact factor measurements. -Dany_waller (talk) 14:59, 27 June 2020 (UTC) — Dany_waller (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Keep. Math Mamas project has national prominence. PRIMUS is the highest profile journal for teaching of mathematics by mathematicians (as opposed to education journals focused on K-12 teaching). A position on the PRIMUS editorial board combined with a national teaching award is a clear profile of a notable collegiate mathematics teacher. As Dany_waller notes, Diaz Eaton's teaching expertise has also been recognized by general media outlets.-UrsulaGeorges (talk) 15:33, 27 Jun 2020 (UTC)
- A position on an editorial board is something true of most academics and useless for distinguishing the notable ones. A position as editor-in-chief would indicate notability through WP:PROF#C8 but she does not have that position. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:45, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Ursulageorges: Do you have some independent sources for what the Math Mamas project is/does and that confirm the national prominence of the project? I tried to find background and sources using google search/google news and wasn't successful, but would be happy to take a look if you could point them out.

- Comment Just to note that looks like this was mentioned on the subject's Twitter feed, but I don't think it's a case of WP:MEATPUPPET. Ignoring that, I'm uncertain as to notability, leaning slightly towards weak keep for QUBES work under WP:GNG. Borderline for the award. Simply being on a board isn't really a sufficient reason, and academic track record is a bit WP:TOOSOON for WP:NPROF. Kj cheetham (talk) 09:33, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete For the subject, I don't see the independent media coverage to meet the GNG standard, and looking at academic notability criteria, 3-6 and 8 clearly don't apply. Others have pointed out the lack of evidence for criterion 1. Mathematics is a low(er) citation field, but being an associate professor with an h-index of 3 still don't qualify. For criterion 2, her most significant award appears to be the John Jungck Prize for Excellence in Education, which appears to be a rather newly created prize where the suject is only the 3rd recipient. That leaves criterion 6: "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity." I'm guessing this is where the users discussing Math Mamas are making their case? However I haven't been able to find independent coverage/sources indicating the impact of this organization or what the organization actually is. There was a special issue of a journal where the subject was one of several co-editors, and a recently launched blog with the same title but where the subject is not listed on the editors or about page.

- Comment. Since this AfD has been subject to canvassing on Twitter it should be closed by an experienced administrator. The BLP seems to have been an outcome of an inadequately supervised editathon. The advice given should be always go first for the low hanging fruit i.e. those candidates whose notability is so well established that blowback will not occur, as it has in this case. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:28, 28 June 2020 (UTC).
- Keep. Mathematics is a field with notoriously low h-indexes. #C2: The Society for Mathematical Biology is arguably the most important professional society in her field and she won the third ever John Jungck Prize for Excellence in Education award, which is the only award for outstanding teaching they have. The inaugural winner was James Keener, one of the most prominent living mathematical biologists. #C4 Diaz Eaton's work towards redesigning undergraduate quantitative mathematical biology education (through QUBES and other initiatives) has affected higher education at large, several institutions, and the field of mathematical biology and has been strongly supported by the National Science Foundation and others. #C7 Her work, teaching, and advocacy have taken center stage in prominent issues in mathematics education and the mathematics community, such as diversity initiatives, quantitative literacy, and misinformation. - AlwaysInRed (talk) 17:25, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep & improve: Although issues of WP:TOOSOON are valid, I agree with Jessamyn & Skome. Its better to take a step back and improve the article IMHO, than summarily delete it. Donna Spencertalk-to-me⛅ 17:31, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Weak keep - The content is interesting, substantial and verifiable, but fails a narrow pass/fail reading of WP:PROF. Since the article is close to the line and the subject seems well-placed professionally, I'm inclined to be generous and hope that the article improves as her career advances to reach notability.

- Delete Pruitt is not notable, too many of these sources are things by Pruitt, not about him. On the other hand, Bo Snerdley whose real name is James Golden (I have no clue why he does not go by that name, it just plain sounds better) is clearly notable. We do have an article on Golden/Snerdley, who if you look at the sources on Pruitt seems to be as much if not more of the mover behind the Make Black Americans Republican Again PAC, the think is we have no discussion of this PAC on the article on Golden/Snerdley, and we lack do not even have a listed birth year on Golden/Snderley and lack other information we would want to flesh the article out, such as an family information etc. I have not listened to Limbaugh's radio program much since the late 1990s, but the name Bo Snerdley does ring a bell, so I suspect some of the information of the article may not adequately cover how long Snerdley has been a key player in Limbaugh's media actions, although it does mention he was connected with Limbaugh's TV show, which I never saw, I only listened to him on air during the 1990s, actually most heavily in the summers of 1992, 1993 and 1994. I was in school other times, and by the time I entered high school had moved on to other things like reading the works of Hugh Nibley, so I do not think I listened to Limbaugh much after the summer of 1994, yet I remember occasional references to Mr. Snerdley on the program.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

The article fails the Notability guidelines for songs in wikipedia as not only none of the three bullet points in the guidelines are met, but also there is not a single "subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." Furthermore, in the links there is one interview with the artist "This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work", and the only source that could be considered here "One to watch" is under a discussion for being unreliable, See here. There is only one source that is reliable "Billboard", however, it should be multiple according to the guidelines above, which it is not the case. MarioSoulTruthFan (talk) 18:32, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - This one is a close call because the song's video got noticed by a few magazines for its production values, including Billboard (already cited) and a few others like this: [27]. But those are still relatively brief mentions, and the song is discussed occasionally in media reports on the singer overall. Those do not add up to sufficient notability for this song. I would not be opposed to a basic redirect to the singer's article if anyone thinks it's a good idea; note that this is a standalone single and there is no parent album. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:31, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- The song is currently listed at Bonnie Tyler discography as one of her own singles, where it is described as having a guest appearance by Arvaniti; but then the song ended up on Arvaniti's album Parafora where it is described as having a guest appearance by Tyler. This may be the result of an old cross-promotion scheme, or the creators of these articles confused the matter. My vote is still to delete as said above, but if admins think that redirecting is the way to go, I recommend sending it to Sofia Arvaniti and then fixing the Bonnie Tyler discography so it describes what is really going on with this song. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

- Delete Cant see how it can survive when it is a neologism and not a particularly well known one. It is promotional by its very defintion, by using business speak which is anathema to Wikipedia, people who are not notable, and dodgy references, which alone would get it deleted. scope_creepTalk 15:39, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep In my opinion, it is not "just a phrase used in some book", it is the title of a book that has analyzed the confluence of to currents that braid together, the web 2.0, and the awakening to sustainability. It deepens into the development of the concept, triggering discussions and awareness in this respect, as confirmed by the links already mentioned.

- Weak delete. The term does appear to be used, but whether it was really coined by this book, I am unsure. That claim is unreferenced. Then we have a definition sourced to a press release. Then another definition sourced to a minor trade magazine ([28]). And a CITEBOMB of 'works that use this term'. I think this merits a WP:TNT.

Fake nobility titles for sale or given away as jokes / promotion for this unrecognised micronation. Even the "princess of Sealand" is a redlink who has received nothing but a few passing mentions in reliable sources, and other "nobles" have been in the news as typical joke / novelty news items, and don't even have these "titles" discussed in their own articles.
Entries in the article are unverifiable and thus BLP violations, e.g. there is not a single source about a "Thomas Chidley IV" or any source relating a "Tracey Kemble" to Sealand. Fram (talk) 14:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Tgec17 Response to Fram
In what sense do you mean fake? In Sealand the titles are legally recognized so they are not fake, similar to how some titles are only recognized in certain countries. Making a claim that Sealand is not a real sovereign country because it does not have international recognition is an opinion, not a fact. This is because:
1. According to a simple google search (the information panel which pops up when you type in "What is the definition of a country") the definition of a country is "a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory."
2. According to Merriam-Webster it is "a political state or nation or its territory"
3. According to Cambridge "an area of land that has its own government, army, etc.:"
4. According to Collins Dictionary "A country is one of the political units which the world is divided into, covering a particular area of land."
You will notice that Sealand fits all these definitions: It occupies territory independent of any other country, it has its own form of government, it has an army (Military Order of the Knights of Sealand). To go further it mints coins, issues passports, etc. You will also notice that nowhere does it say that an entity must have international recognition to be considered a country. So calling the titles fake is actually false because it is under the assumption that Sealand is not a country, but by definition it is a country.
There are three reasons why some members of the Sealand nobility might not have the title in their article. they are usually celebrities or famous and there articles are not centered around their titles and honors, the article did include this information but an editor such as yourself decided to delete this information, or three, this information is missing simply because the editors of the articles were not aware of this persons title. But since you raised this, It really should be added to their articles and I will do it, thanks for bringing it up.
Finally regardless of what you believe about Sealand, personal opinion should not play a role in what is deemed important information (I hope we can both agree). Although some people might not think it worthy of its own articles, many others probably do think its worthy of its article and since it is providing potentially useful and interesting information about the nobility of a country in an encyclopedic manner it should not be deleted. The only possible argument which you could make is the one you originally made that the article lacked sufficient sources, but this has changed since you made this allegation and the article is backed up by sources which sufficiently prove its claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgec17 (talk • contribs)

- Nobility where you don't need to be a citizen of the country, nor do you need to have done anything for the country, nor do you even need to have done anything worthwhile in general (you or an ancestor), is fake nobility. Any "award" that can be openly bought is not an award or recognition. Furthermore, this "country" has no land, no recognition, no actual citizens, no army... no nothing. The sources you provide are indicative of the joke nature of these "titles", which is strengthened by the fact that the only times a reliable source gives attention to these is because they need some "human interest" about someone who already was notable. No one has become notable because they "recieved" a title from Sealand, they are either independently notable and their "noble title" is totally irrelevant to their biography, or they simply aren't notable (like Chidley, Crouch, Kemble or Mei Shi). Fram (talk) 16:09, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
In response to this I (the author) have several points to make:
1.first and foremost regardless of whether you personally consider Sealand a country is irrelevant to the article itself which provides basic encyclopedic information on the nobility of an independent state. To say that this is not worthy of an article is to discriminate against a state based on its size, furthermore it provides information which can be, and is useful and interesting to people. I think it is against the basic principles of Wikipedia to try and delete this article, a factual list which allows for the sharing of knowledge.
2. As mentioned earlier Sealand does have land: the land which supports the base and the base itself constitute land a property. Additionally Sealand has citizens, mints money, and has received recogniztion from a judge in Britain as being outside the uks legal jurisdiction. Additionally a German diplomat is known to have visited Sealand. Finally as I mentioned earlier Sealand does have an army: the military order of the knights of Sealand.
3. Your definition of nobility is not on par with the general consensus which is that nobility is “the group of people belonging to the noble class in a country, especially those with a hereditary or honorary title.”
I fail to see even a single valid point you’ve made regarding Sealands status and based on your remarks I doubt you have done any research into Sealand. Your point about notability being solely reliant on a reliable source is not actually a relevant or meaningful point because many references of people on lists do not cite reliable sources. With all of this in mind I would be surprised if you continued to push this, which is something of a waste of time for both of us and is petty and inconsequential. Having a list of nobles of a micro nation does nothing to weaken Wikipedia or Wikipedia’s prestige and is of significant interest to many readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgec17 (talk • contribs)

(Author) In Response to David: I don't know why you have written delete twice before your statements but I suppose you are in favor of deleting the article. I do not understand your first statement, it seems you tried to write it in shorthand. I would appreciate it if you explained exactly what you mean in a clearer way. As for the second statement, why would I delete background knowledge from the article? This makes no sense. You make a point about Instagram and YouTube, however you should not fall into the trap of only ever trusting and using reliable sources; such sources will be added as the article develops but if you actually look at the sources its pretty clear that they are reliable (guys holding up their sealand nobility documents). If you really want to get technical and say the article cannot exist without a reliable source (which will be added soon), then I can just add some now and end this nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgec17 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

None of the other sources in this article are from reliable sources, and there's no support for notability for the fact that Sealand has sold some titles. Schazjmd (talk) 20:56, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
User talk:Tgec17 response -
So far as I am aware, and I have read the page on notability, a wikipedia article does not require a reliable source; take stubs for example. As I said earlier, even if a reliable source is required I would happily supply one. From what I understand a source is only required if a user challenges a statement... so are you challenging the statement that Sealand sells noble titles? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgec17 (talk • contribs) 21:05, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Tgec17, I'm not challenging the statement that Sealand sells noble titles. I'm saying the fact that they sell titles is not notable, and that a list of people who bought them is not notable. (Also, please read and follow WP:INDENT in discussions, it helps.) Schazjmd (talk) 16:06, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- delete and a barrage of WP:TROUT to those who have spent so many words on what is so patently not notable. Mangoe (talk) 21:00, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, and it's really not close. Sealand is a 'country' within the UK. Actually, it's within UK waters, and it's a UK built structure. You cannot just declare ownership of some unused man-made structure, and then start handing out nobility titles. Policy-wise, the fact of the matter here is that this article has 5 sources, 4 of them are Instagram. The fifth might as well be humour. This has no encyclopaedic value. Despite the passionate argument made, it doesn't change the fact that
WP:GNGWP:LISTN isn't even close to being met here. Sidenote: this AfD is an absolute pain to read due to the formatting. Also, kindly stop bludgeoning the process. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:02, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
The guidelines you mentioned are not applicable to lists "The criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it. The notability guidelines do not apply to contents of articles or lists". The article which I am attempting to make is essentially a list so it is not bound by the same rules.--Tgec17 (talk) 21:11, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Notability guidelines still apply, and here specifically, WP:LISTN is applicable, and evaluated under similar criteria for the topic as a whole. I don't see that being met. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:19, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
I'll type it again for you "'The criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it. The notability guidelines do not apply to contents of articles or lists'"
Also this: "The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been."
And this "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. "
So yeah basically not ever name on the list needs to be cited, and the list fufills the recognized informational purpose of providing information about the current nobility of a country (It doesnt actually matter what your personal opinion of Sealand is in this case because many people see it as a country and are interested in the information this list provides).--Tgec17 (talk) 21:49, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Firstly the country is not recognised internationally. The Principality of Sealand is allowed on Wikipedia because it has achieved the notability rules. Secondly, lists have to prove that the subject of the list is notable - there is not enough evidence of this as per wikipedia rules as stated by all editors here. Thirdly, because someone has a title it does not make them notable as per Wikipedia rules (wp:bio). Fourthly, trying to bludgeon editors will get you to WP:ANI. Fifthly - This is not a vote all process. At the end of this an admin will look at the arguement, look to see who has put the arguement against all wikipedia policies and then make a decision - Bludgeoning, altering the format, and statements like "As I said earlier, even if a reliable source is required I would happily supply one" will be ignored. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 05:42, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
When I altered the format I wasn't aware there was a specific format and for talk pages and I was just trying to make it more clear. As far as bludgeoning, Im not trying to Bludgeon anyone, I'm simply trying to reason with some of the comments that I've seen. As I do not want to spam I'll just point again to the quotations I've taken from the notability essay right before you made this comment David. I will say I have added sources to the article which are generally considered reliable (from BBC and ITV). I put the quotations in bold so its easier for people to read as it seems to be an issue. --Tgec17 (talk) 17:36, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

There are now several "noteworthy" people on the list, some of whom were awarded noble titles rather than purchasing them. For example, members of the Sealand "Royal family", or Richard Royal (who was the first person to swim from Sealand to England[1])
In fact, this specific person is a strong argument against this claim made above: "No one has become notable because they 'received' a title from Sealand, they are either independently notable and their 'noble title' is totally irrelevant to their biography, or they simply aren't notable". For this individual, the awarding of their title played a significant role in their biography. --Tomthecool (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete WP:BLUDGEON by the article creator set aside, I fail to see any significant coverage about these joke titles or why we should have a list about these; besides the BBC article the only other thing I can find from a quick google search is an interview on CBC with it's current "ruler" who is named there as "King of Sealand"; but there's no coverage whatsoever about the titles besides this mention (and an interview is not an OK source for notability anyway). Oh, and article creator should not that this AfD is not about Sealand but List of Sealand nobles, so arguments about Sealand being an independent state or not or whatever have absolutely no bearing on this.

- Comment - After checking the sourcing on this article, almost all of the sources point to 404 pages or to 404 forbidden sites. The others are basically listings that they had shows (which does not contribute to notability), or point to the fact that they have received a grant, or are listed in Guidestar as a non-profit (also do not contribute to notability). I'm not sure that it is the purpose of the wikipedia project to list every nonprofit art space in the world, isn't that what the yellow pages are for?

Currently, basically the whole article consists of copyright-violating material (translation of the subject's website) that was added in 2012 and is tricky to revert; before that, all there was was a sourceless promotional mess written by the subject himself.

Good day, sorry for the delay in replying. I am just seeing all of this today. First of all, I would like Mr. Lambert to explain what a "single purpose account" is. I thought that each article was created by a user on Wikipedia with the "single purpose" of providing information on a specific topic. So in that regard, I'm lost.
Also, I thought that autobiography articles were accepted on here. Maybe I was mistaken. If not, then would someone else sending you the same factual information I sent on myself suffice? I sent links that confirm that the information I sent is true.
The comments by Doomsdayer520: Firstly, thanks for the good luck. However, I don't understand what you meant by saying my article is "self-promotional". I provided information on where I was born, where I started singing, where I performed like any other artiste on here has done in theirs. For example, take one of my biggest inspirations, Kirk Franklin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk_Franklin . I am not as popular as Kirk Franklin, don't have as much information as he does, but I have 1 album and just like him, I have a website. He has the same information I have, and more. So does that make Mr. Franklin's article simply "promotional" as well? Also, you said my "autobiography can be reprinted elsewhere". I came to Wikipedia because of it's stellar reputation in providing information and I also thought that autobiographies were accepted on here. Where are you suggesting I reprint my autobiography then? Please expound these points because I am not understanding them.
In conclusion, I must say I am very disappointed. I followed the instructions given on how to create the wikipedia article to the T only to find out my article was deleted. Is the real issue that I wrote the article myself? Is that why it is being considered "self-promotional" and "single purpose"? If so, I do not recall reading that the article is required to be written by someone else. So instead of just deleting my article, the alternative would be to advise me where I went wrong and how to make it better because it took time to prepare. Reading your comments have not indicated where I went wrong or anything. I am just as lost now after reading your comments as I was when I found out my article was deleted. So please do a better job at explaining. I am not as big an artiste as Kirk Franklin and others, but I am a real person and I just wanted to share information on myself, my history, my accomplishments just like any other artiste on here. Awaiting your responses and explanations.

There was a no-consensus AfD on this 3 years ago here. Not much has improved since. There's a lot of fitness YouTubers out there, we don't give articles to each one. The sources here are pretty weak, some are simply gossip sources, others are his own YouTube channel / LinkedIn, and some are company publicity press releases. The rest seem to be gossip.

While AfD is WP:NOT cleanup, this article is so singularly terrible, without proper citations, or any indication of standalone notability, I think we are in WP:TNT territory here. A vanishingly small amount of content may be worth including at Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar, but most of what is here is not noticed by independent sources and has not hope of being written as WP:NPOV. It's just gotta go and the content doesn't even deserve saving. jps (talk) 11:43, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

The article fails the Notability guidelines for songs in wikipedia as not only none of the three bullet points in the guidelines are met, but also there is not a single "subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." Furthermore, the links are ot interviews with the artist "This excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work", and the only source that could be consider here "One to watch" is under a discussion for being unreliable.

- Delete (my preference) or Redirect to Finneas O'Connell - The song comes up in several softball promotional interviews with the singer, but those are more useful for his article rather than a separate article for this song, which has not achieved sufficient notability in its own right. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete does not meet the notability criteria for soccer players. Contrary to the claims above, football notability is not biased towards men, it is based on real levels of coverage since we follow actual coverage, we do not create articles on people who have never been covered in secondary sources. It also has a ludicously low level of notability, and should be scapped for something that is a little more discerning.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:47, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

FYI both reviews were very easy to find using LibGen search, I used the phrase '"One Child" hayden'. I suggest using this search engine in addition to Google ones, it is pretty solid for finding academic reviews. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:NBOOK: Perfectly acceptable sources. Saying that a children's book is only notable if it's at the level of Harry Potter would basically leave us with 1 article about a children's book. Whatever your personal opinion of the book or what you think the standards should be, the actual standards written in NBOOK are easily met. — Toughpigs (talk) 22:02, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Just to clarify the intent of my !vote, I did mean that we should delete every children's book that isn't as popular as Harry Potter. I was just giving an example of a notable book. My point is that there is nothing particularly notable about this book. There are hundreds of books like these, and we should not in fact have an article for each one. This article's only inline citations are links to the book's entry on the publisher's website, and a self published website. This book unambiguously does not conform to WP:NBOOK. --PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 01:25, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There seems to be no disagreement that the two clubs have merged, but there is a lack of clarity on what the new name of the club will be. Since there is not a strong consensus within this discussion, I think it's best to wait for more clarity (i.e. if the club itself makes an official announcement about its new name) and then do any moves/merges/redirects that are required. This problem will be far easier to solve when there is clear evidence of the club's name. ‑Scottywong| [confabulate] || 07:23, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Procedural nomination. The subject seems to exist and has many Google News hits, but there have been claims that this is nevertheless a hoax. Adam9007 (talk) 16:03, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete: per WP:HOAX, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RUMOUR. No such club exists. The existing Mohun Bagan A.C. article will be updated when something is annoucned from the club. A rumour based article, total hoax. Status of the clubs will be revealed after a board meeting of both the clubs, nothing is official yet and meeting is yet to take place. reference for clarification. Drat8sub (talk) 16:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Adam9007, I don't understand why XFD is done here instead of the speedy deletion. When no such club exist and when those article on google are just speculation and rumours why there is a need of discussion. I would also like to invite most experienced editors from WP:IFTF, ArsenalFan700, Coderzombie and MBlaze Lightning to put their thoughts. Drat8sub (talk) 16:56, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

- Yes, I've enough reason for that, you will simply understand the POV pushing happening at both club articles and can go through the talk pages of the articles. This was not a misunderstanding but a deliberate attempt that we have seen in the respective articles and social media. Because in clear words everything is mentioned in the Mohun Bagan and ATK articles' talk pages. Drat8sub (talk) 17:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe there are inaccuracies in the article, but it is nothing like a hoax, and the fact that an editor chose to edit-war over the speedy deletion tag casts doubt on the good faith being shown here.

- And just I was looking for further sources the first I saw was "ATK Mohun Bagan Private Limited incorporated with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs", published today by Goal.com. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Phil Bridger, this is not my opinion, the club has said after a board meeting they will reveal name, then those article does not count. More than that the article is not saying it is the official name, they just said the clubs are merged, well written in the Mhun Bagan and ATK articles. These are all speculation. I have added a ciation for clarification also. Secondly, the articles that you have mentioned says ATK-Mohun Bagan will play in the continental, no doubt they will but not as new entity, because a new entity cannot play in the continental level, this is a fact, rules of AFC. That's why said, you should have consulted with the editors who are working on Indian football articles. No official meeting yet, no official name annoucnement, no official owners revealed and even when new name will be there, there is no need for new articles, the existing Mohun Bagan article will be updated with the new names. Drat8sub (talk) 17:51, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- That Goal areticle is total crap. Reason I've mentioned much before at the article talk page. Nothing is official, the club will reveal everything. Since when wikipedia is creating articles on speculation. Above that it violated WP:NOTNEWS, WP:RUMOUR. Drat8sub (talk) 17:55, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment At best, this is the case of WP:TOOSOON, at worst this should be deleted. Though the club may have been created as new entity, it's just ATK investor taking controlling share in Mohun Bagan club. In my opinion, when more details emerge, Mohun Bagan A.C. should be moved to new page, with whatever the new name is. Coderzombie (talk) 04:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep - on the basis that a new club called 'ATK-Mohun Bagan' exists per this and other sources. It is standard when two existing clubs merge to create a new article, see eg Dagenham F.C. + Redbridge Forest F.C. = Dagenham & Redbridge F.C.... GiantSnowman 11:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- GiantSnowman, Did you read all the comments above? First, since when articles are created on specualtion? Show me one article where the clubs say that the name is ATK-Mohun Bagan. Show me one citation where the clubs say this will be a new club. Citations can say anything, untill and unless there is any offical annoucement from club, that the new name will be this or there will be a new club, we even cannot write anything, creating new article far from this. The merger thing is well written in the clubs article? Giant you are one from whom I used to learn, but this is gross violation of WP:NPOV to show an example of another club to justify another situation where the borad meeting are yet to take place and official announcemnet are yet to be there. Is wikipedia now creating on WP:CRYSTALBALL/WP:NOTRUMOR/WP:NOTNEWS ? This one is a classic case of cystalball for sure. Drat8sub (talk) 13:41, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- And more then that Coderzombie and me re-iterated the same thing, we know Indian football much better than anyone else, because we are well aware of facts and rules. Mohun Bagan got the continental slot, so they will play in the AFC Cup, but to play in the continental level a new club cannot play there, for a new club it has to play from lower division to higher division. So there will be new name, but new club, they will go with the history of either ATK or Mohub Bagan, to justify that they are not new club. And thats why once the borad meeting will be there an dthere is an official announcemnt from the meeting, we can create write and do anything else, not before that. This is not official !!! Period. If anybody counter, show me one proof that the clubs officially named it as ATK-Mohun Bagan and they annoucned it will be a new entity. Drat8sub (talk) 13:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- OK literally in the strapline of the article I shared - "The new entity will be called ATK-Mohun Bagan and will come into existence from June 1". GiantSnowman 14:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- GiantSnowman, the new entity "will be", who told them that it will be called this, the clubs are yet to tell the official name, they are yet to take decision, no matter if this will be the same name they keep. Let's accept its a crystball. Drat8sub (talk) 15:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Drat8sub, you seem not to accept anything written by an independent secondary source in the absense of an announcement on one of these clubs' web site. That is not how Wikipedia works. We prefer such independent secondary sources to primary sources such as club web sites. And your statement about the AFC Cup is pure original research. We don't go by your interpretation of the rules, but by what is written in reliable sources such as I linked above. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Phil Bridger, such an absurdity. Written in the article "ISL winners ATK Mohun Bagan", ISL winner is ATK not ATK-MohunBagan 1, this is fact manupulation to justify the later satement, in the same article where they've written "since Mohun Bagan and ATK to merge". So, still you want to go with such a crap citation where they are delivering a false information, a winner's name and manipulating to justify their opinion to look like a fact. I am disgusted. And FYI anyone can write on goal.com, many football enthusiat write on goal.com. Drat8sub (talk) 15:18, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- And no one questioning merge, that why the merging things are well written in the clubs' article. The question here is the name, which is not an official and these citation failed to justify why they ahve written it. Its just for publication purpose to bring more readers to read. Drat8sub (talk) 15:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Phil Bridger and GiantSnowman, here for you, hope will convince finally, most credible news atleast not like a crap source like Goal.com(it has several times spread rumours regarding players and club), this one from yesterday, TOI through PTI says clearly, an official announcement of the name and logo of the club, which was earlier slated for a June 1 launch, is expected to to be unveiled soon. So, this article is simple out of crystalball and rumours, nothing fact based. Drat8sub (talk) 15:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- You haven't actually read/understood CRYSTALBALL have you? It clearly says "it is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced [...] Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place". Will this topic be notable? Yes. It is likely to happen? Yes. Therefore the article remains. In short, topics which might or are going to happen can be notable, and that extends to events or entities which might never materialise, see e.g. List of future stadiums. I have made my point, you have made your point, you cannot persuade me otherwise, please stop pinging me. GiantSnowman 16:09, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- No one questioning the merging, no one questioning the notability, but it is notable and likely to happen, that a new name will be revealed but the subject of the article is not merging event, but a new club, if the title of the article is kept as "Merging of ATK and Mohun Bagan" then your argument justifies. We are talking about the name of club, which is not justified by Cball where it says almost certain to take place. No one is certain that the club name will be ATK-Mohunbangan. And list of future stadium is there because names are proposed for every construction project. Drat8sub (talk) 16:39, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

- OK literally in the strapline of the article I shared - "The new entity will be called ATK-Mohun Bagan and will come into existence from June 1". GiantSnowman 14:46, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- GiantSnowman (talk · contribs) Phil Bridger (talk · contribs) I wouldn't rely on that article. Indian journalism is... well, not always perfect. First, from all official sources and other independent sources, this isn't a "merger", this is more RPSG Group buying an 80% stake in Mohun Bagan and will merge the ATK brand with the Mohun Bagan one and also form a new corporation for Mohun Bagan. This is from sources such as from The Hindu where they say "The new football club will have brand names of ATK and Mohun Bagan." meaning that the club hasn't even come up with a name yet. Outlook India states the same. This article from Scroll has the press release which literally says "The new football club will have brand names of ATK and Mohun Bagan". On June 1, we were supposed to get the new name, the new brand, the new logo... everything. But of course, that was postponed. It could be ATK Mohun Bagan (which would be the same as the usual when Mohun Bagan has a sponsor in their name) or ATK-Mohun Bagan or something else. I think we should wait until then and for now Delete this article and re-direct this to Mohun Bagan. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:27, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I'm not understanding this nomination. Consensus is that the club exists, but the name isn't final? There's been many a team article for a new team in a top league created after the team is announced, but before it is named. As such, shouldn't this be an article name discussion, not a delete discussion? Is there something about the notability that I'm missing? Nfitz (talk) 22:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Nfitz To provide some clarity... we don't know what is going on. Coming into 2020 we had two clubs, ATK and Mohun Bagan. In January 2020, ATK's owners RPSG Group bought an 80% ownership stake into Mohun Bagan with Mohun Bagan owning the other 20%. It was said officially that the "new club" would involve a "merger" of the two brands ATK and Mohun Bagan. Nothing more has been said other than that on June 1, 2020 the official name, brand, and everything else would be announced. Due to Covid, that didn't happen and we don't know when it will. As of this moment, we don't know if this is a new club or not. It could be a brand new club but it could also just be ATK folding and Mohun Bagan continuing but with a different name. This is not like Major League Soccer where they announce a new expansion club and all of a sudden we get an article for Charlotte MLS team or something. We don't know what this is yet officially.
- In the end, what should happen is we delete this page and redirect to Mohun Bagan for now. We update the Mohun Bagan history section to include recent events plus maybe stating that an announcement did not occur due to Covid-19. Because that is literally what is happening. There is no new club yet. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 03:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- Nfitz, yes club exists and the article for that club already exists, its the Mohun Bagan A.C.. The owner of the ATK (football club), RPSG Group bought share of Mohun Bagan and decided that their newly formed club ATK will be merged to Mohun Bagan and a new name, new brand name, new board will be there as happen in all club for example when some comapny buys shares. For e.g when Quess Group bought share of East Bengal team they named the East Bangal team as Quess East Bengal for sponsorship. Similarly, here also the Mohun Bagan team will be named with a prefix or suffix of the company/their club (which no one knows) who bought share. Now, so called football websites/Indian media get this whole thing wrong or deliberately done to get views or to create rumours, that it will be totaly a new club which is not the case, as if you go through The Hindu or TOI, you will find exact description not these Goal.com or KhelNow as described above by other editors too. This is not a new club, this is renaming of existing club with a prefix or suffix as a company bought a share who have a club and merged their club to the existing club. Not a new club popping out.

- Comment: I just want to point out here that both the ATK social media channels and the Mohun Bagan social media channels are still posting as if they are separate clubs. Nothing has been rebranded yet or merged. Meanwhile, on the official Indian Super League channels, it is still mentioned as ATK and using the ATK logo. The league website itself still has them listed as just "ATK". This is why I think this article is very premature. The Covid-19 situation has made the situation complicated but what is known right now is that for now, both ATK and Mohun Bagan are separate. In regards to the future, no one knows for sure what is going on. We don't know if this will be a brand new club (like how Seattle Sounders (1994–2008) became Seattle Sounders FC) or a merger/keeping the history of one of the club's.

- Initially Drat8sub annoyed me by firstly claiming that this was a hoax, which it certainly wasn't, and then by edit-warring the speedy deletion template back into the article after I had removed it, so my opinion might be prejudiced by this. There has certainly been plenty of discussion of this which I still think probably amounts to notability even if this doesn't go through in the end. The title can be changed if needed, but the important issue is that we should have coverage of this proposed merger. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:58, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

- Look, I am not trying to badger you guys. Drat's comments are his own and he shouldn't have gone off the handle the way he did. The reason I tagged you guys again is because it was almost a week since the last comment and there were points not commented on. I agree, there should be a section covering this "merger" but the thing is... there is no proof that this is an actual merger yet. All we know officially is that ATK's owner, RSPG Group, bought an 80% stake in Mohun Bagan. That is all. We don't have any further official details other than that. I think we need a section in the ATK (football club) article describing what is happening from an ATK perspective and a section in the Mohun Bagan page from that perspective and then leave it at that. Thoughts? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 00:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

Giant, I always look up to you here. If you says its not hoax, fine. But let me know one thing, when the concerned club article is already exist along with the new name is yet to be decided and annoucned, does this article belong here? Atleast isn't it belong to TOOSOON, isn't it NOTNEWS? See, fake news/rumour are very big issue in India, a simple google search will tell you how its affecting every thing, check what IFCN tells about Indian media. And in football, rumours is common and very big deal that we often see about signing of players and often have to deal in wikipedia articles. For example, do we annouce any Presidential/PM canditate as elected based on opinions polls or post election polls, no, the similar case happening here, its a general opinion of all website that the following the merger the name, logo staus etc will be this and that and an wikipedia article is creating on this kind of opinion. We simply not badging. I've said anyone can write in such website, no accountability. My suggestion was we could have wait for it, due to Covid situation the meeting could not have happened on the scheduled time which further ignite these rumours, and as the TOI article says everything will soon be annouced, if such article needed to be created we can create, the article itself helping those rumours now. Even if you think I did any mistake I'm simply sorry for that. Drat8sub (talk) 01:49, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Redirect to ATK Mohun Bagan F.C. - Koridas 📣 22:33, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Oh jesus christ, there is another page!? Can someone explain to me why this one should be the redirected to page? There is no source that says that the team name will be "ATK Mohun Bagan F.C.". This is starting to become ridiculous. You have editors on here who are not responding and editors from Kolkata who quite frankly are fanatics in the worst way who just want to create a page so they can say they have. Can someone just tell us, once and for all, where is the proof that there is an actual merger and that the name will be ATK Mohun Bagan. That is all I want. Right now, officially, from what I know, something was supposed to happen on June 1... but nothing did. The Indian Super League is still referring to ATK as ATK and other media is referring to Mohun Bagan as Mohun Bagan. We have goal.com mentioning a registry name but nothing official about the club name, for the club playing in the 2020–21 Indian Super League season, being ATK-Mohun Bagan or ATK Mohun Bagan F.C. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 22:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Is this even a separate club or a continuation of Mohun Bagan or ATK? None of this has been answered yet.

- Keep and, if necessary, Move should a different name be announced at a later date. Spike 'em (talk) 18:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. The existence of the football club, to the best of my knowledge, is hardly in doubt; rather it is the name. The name of the club should not be a reason to delete, and it is no difficult task to move it to the right name if the final name is different. This isn't a hoax at any rate. JavaHurricane 02:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think it is just the name that is in doubt but the status of a new club. Will this "new team" be Mohun Bagan but rebranded with ATK in the name or will this be a brand new club. That is my argument. At the end of the day, we might not need a new page, just a rename of the Mohun Bagan page. The reason I think that is because the ATK owners, RPSG Group bought a stake in Mohun Bagan. Not the club, but the club's owners bought a stake in Bagan. We hear the word merger but is it a merger of the two clubs or is it just a "faux merger" in that the only merging done is ATK's name being added to Mohun Bagan's name? We have precedence for this before, with Mohun Bagan being known as McDowell's Mohun Bagan at one point due to them being partly owned by Vijay Mallya and his United Breweries Group. That is why I think this article is a bit premature right now. It was created after 1 June when the "merger" was supposed to take place but didn't due to Covid-19. Nothing was announced or finalized. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 14:03, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- ArsenalFan700, mcdowell mb is not the same as atk MB. city group bought shares in Mumbai city, but the clubs didn't merge. they are operating multiple clubs simultaneously. now, if goenka have operated 2 clubs, then the situation would have been different. but, this is a case of club merger like psg. ❯❯❯ S A H A 11:36, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- I'll say this one more time and then I'm leaving this discussion to a closing admin... this is like McDowell and Mohun Bagan. ATK isn't buying into Mohun Bagan and this is not a classic "merger". In this situation, the owners of ATK separately have bought an 80% stake in Mohun Bagan. ATK is going to disband but the branding will be worked into Mohun Bagan, to what extent, we will see. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 16:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

- Please note that is not my intention at all to sway. Almost a week went with no response, even after the AfD was relisted. I wanted to provide some context and I provided sources to do so. If people read it and decide keep, that is fine and I am more than happy to go with consensus in the end. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 13:50, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - Per all the discussion here, it seems clear to me that the merger in question has not taken place. Articles and previous announcements may say this was going to happen on June 1st but due to ongoing circumstances that came into doubt and nothing further was mentioned. This club, effectively, does not exist yet. Until an announcement or official release is put out, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON.
- Redirect to ATK Mohun Bagan F.C.. There's no doubt that there's notability here, and there's no doubt that ATK Mohun Bagan F.C. is a better location for an article. What the final name of the article should be is unknown ... but this shouldn't be a deletion debate. But no prejudice against future redirect, renaming, or merging discussions when more is known. But perhaps hold off until there's some news? Nfitz (talk) 21:12, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- Comment: Reading over these comments, and looking at this article, I guess the question I now have is, whatever the page is between this one and ATK Mohun Bagan F.C., should we rename one of them to New Kolkata ISL club. This would basically be the same as in Major League Soccer, when they announce new expansion clubs but there is no name yet... so like Charlotte MLS team and St. Louis MLS team. The article above pretty much mentions that there probably will be a new team but with nothing confirmed, I think the best course of action, from an encyclopedia perspective, is to say New Kolkata ISL team. Thoughts? --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:21, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- So basically have an opener along the lines of this with more relevant information. If it does turn out to be just Mohun Bagan continuing as one entity then we can merge, if not, we can push on with the new article. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 21:32, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
- ArsenalFan700, it was clearly mentioned in the press release of mohunbagan, that it will be both clubs and not one. so, there's no question whether mohunbagan will be continuing as one entity. ❯❯❯ S A H A 06:45, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

- Postpone AFD The People's Action Party have just announced him as a candidate for the 2020 Singaporean general election on 10 July, which is just two weeks away. If he wins (which is likely), he will almost certainly be notable as a member of a national parliament, and if he loses, the election coverage will help us better evaluate his notability. That the primary contributor Thang324 appears to be Huang himself or closely connected to him does not automatically mean he is not notable, but does mean that the article will need to be rewritten if kept. --Hildanknight (talk) 13:37, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

- Reply: That's irrelevant. Wikipedia policies make it very clear that there's no such thing as inherent notability. J.J. McCullough is much much more notable than Colby Cosh in Canada and his article was deleted for the same reasons Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/J._J._McCullough_(2nd_nomination) -- because there's no such thing as inherent notability. If you want to vote to keep this article, you need to prove that multiple independent reliable sources have covered Colby Cosh, as individual, with in-depth coverage. Note: The sources need to have covered Colby Cosh himself, not just referred to whatever articles he has written about. Not that this is particularly relevant to the AFD anyway, but I'd also dispute your characterisation of Colby Cosh being a "well known columnist in Canada", he has 13.5k twitter followers, that's hardly notable...

Does not meet WP:GNG, insufficient coverage in independent sources. The only source provided that might include significant independent coverage is this WSJ article, which I am unable to access. Even if it does, however, we're still far short of meeting GNG. Searching online, the only coverage in non-affiliated sources that I was able to find was trivial coverage such as [54] where Gerami is quoted as a spokesperson on behalf of a company. signed, Rosguill talk 21:59, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

- KeepThank you for creating a Wikipedia page about me. I am grateful, humbled, and flattered, but I see that it has been nominated for deletion. I am not much of a Wikipedia editor, so I do not know the intricacies of this site. But with the risk of sounding pompous and pretentious, let me make a case to let my page stay.
- I believe that the original edit covers most of what I am known for. But just in case, I am a well-known journalist and a queer and human rights activist. Due to my activism and community organizing prior to Prop 8, I was interviewed by The Wall Street Journal and called a ‘leading gay activist.’
- Several years later, I was referenced in the landmark Supreme Court civil rights case, Obergefell v. Hodges, which made marriage-equality possible. The court held in a 5–4 decision that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process and the Equal Protection Clauses of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
- Every week, at least one, sometimes two members of Congress are guests on my show, THE BLUNT POST with VIC, on the nation’s longest-running public radio, KPFK 90.7 FM. In addition to being a founding board member of Equality Armenia, I am one of the best known gay Armenian-American activists who has written long-form investigative stories for The Advocate, country’s longest-running LGBTQIA+ publication, as well as the three largest Armenian-American publications, Asbarez, Armenian Weekly, and The California Courier. I dared to criticize the regime of the current Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan, and their failure to curtail homophobia. I have received numerous death threats against me via email, messenger and social media for being an out gay Armenian.

- Delete. Strictly speaking, the question of whether the party has ever held a seat in the legislature is not in and of itself controlling on whether the leader qualifies for an article or not — some minor or fringe parties have held one or two legislative seats in their day without making all of their leaders notable, and some minor party leaders get enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG regardless of whether they technically passed or failed WP:NPOL on the letter of the law. But this article literally depends 50 per cent on primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and even the half that is real media still isn't all about James Beddome, so the article is not well-sourced enough to make him one of the latter.

- Keep while it is clear that he does not meet the categories in WP:POLITICIAN that would presume/guarantee notability, I believe he nonetheless meets WP:GNG. He has been the leader of the Green Party of Manitoba off and on for more than a decade, and received a lot of coverage in WP:RS both included here and not (as noted by Nfitz). While some of this coverage is "courtesy" election coverage, there is a lot of it over a long period of time. As he now works as a defence attorney there seems to also be more and more peripheral coverage of him in that context. Also given the increasing fortunes of the Greens federally, in BC (where they are in a supply and confidence agreement with the governing NDP), PEI (where they are the official opposition), Ontario and New Brunswick (where they have elected MPPs/MLAs) and in Vancouver and Burnaby where they have elected City Councillors, I am not sure it is a great idea for us to go around deleting articles about their provincial leaders, where there is a reasonable case to be made that they have reached GNG status.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 21:03, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
- FWIIW, I have updated the article a bit, and added some citations over the last few days. It is also worth noting that Beddome is included in the infobox for the 2016 Manitoba general election because the Greens won 5.07% of the province-wide vote in that election. He is also included in the infobox for the next Manitoba election. For some reason, he was omitted from the infobox for the 2019 election, despite the fact that the party increased their support to 6.43% in the election last year. I have now added him to the infobox there, and started a discussion on the talk page there, since usually we include party leaders in those boxes if they receive >5%.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:53, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Non-notable fictional character. The GNG applies here, and we don't have anything that discusses this character's development or influence outside of the scope of the fiction. The references discuss a bit of inspiration to the author, but are superficial and don't demonstrate notability. The character isn't influential for other fiction writers, and isn't used as an allegorical sense, and so on. (Note that the actor being nominated for awards is about the actor, not the character.)

- Keep per common sense. This is the main character of a very popular, long-running book series and a very popular, long-running television show. As it says in the article, the actor has been nominated for two Saturn Awards, two People's Choice Awards, a BAFTA and a Critic's Choice Award for playing this character. Mikeblas says that that's "about the actor, not the character," and if I squint really hard I can almost understand where that's coming from, but nobody is nominated for six major awards in a world where nobody has ever written about the character. The presumption that no coverage exists is just not sensible. I'll go ahead and quote just two:
- "The stories the show told during the second half of the first season deepened [Claire and Jamie's] bond and their need for each other. Jamie in particular was made to confront his personal and cultural attitudes about gender roles, understand how they impact Claire, and recognize the value to him of having a wife that was his equal in every way." — "How the Outlander finale handled its disturbing rape scene", Entertainment Weekly (May 31, 2015)
- "According to author Gabaldon the character of Jamie Fraser was developed from an account in the book Prince in the Heather, which describes how 19 wounded Jacobites hid in a farmhouse after the battle. After two days they were executed under the Red Coat’s command for No Quarter, “except one man, a Fraser of the Master of Lovet's regiment, who survived the slaughter.”", "How historically accurate is Outlander?", The History Press
- This character is obviously notable. — Toughpigs (talk) 03:36, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Merge to Outlander (book series). I don't see how the subject passes WP:NFICTION; a sentence in passing here and there is not sufficient to establish notability. The above argument clearly ignores WP:NOTINHERITED.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:18, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Passes WP:GNG as the subject of substantial sources such as Gazing at Jamie Fraser. Andrew🐉(talk) 11:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

- Keep There are many books and articles written about the book and tv series, and within them I'm sure there is much discussion about this central character, in particular the fact that he was raped.

WP:HOAX This page is a WP:Hoax, the listed medical professional not only did not list his registration which is bizarre, but has placed a fake number of 23318 of the Dehli medical council, this completely failed verification, the second listed professional also failed verification. I found one registered clinician. They list a US site for training, but their corporation appears to be a house. I found no independent evidence that this was a legitimate hospital. They are selling fellowships, however, the cost and nature of these fellowships is patently absurd - this is just not how clinical or academic training works. That you could train in any medical specialty in one week is ludicrous, and the idea that you can use postnomials after a week is frankly obnoxious and silly.
