Fails WP:NPOL John from Idegon (talk) 23:51, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as one would expect from a nine-term mayor of a city in a major urban area, there have been numerous independent sources which have covered the subject in detail. As such, it easily passes WP:GNG. For example, Curatone is the subject of an entire book published in 2019. Major news outlets, both in the Boston region and nationwide have covered Curtatone in detail as well. These include ABC News and the Washington Post, and Bloomberg. I hope the nominator will follow WP:BEFORE nominating next time.--TM 23:59, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now, unless better sources can be found. The existing sourcing is completely inadequate for an encyclopedia article. But what we're trying to find out here is if the subject is notable, not if the article is any good. Of all the people connected to Entro, the best known is probably Stuart Ash. That article has many problems, but he is notable. We also have an article on St. Joseph Communications, the parent company of DW+Partners, who first took over Gottschalk+Ash. We don't have an article on DW+Partners, but we do have an article on Don Watt, its founder. I don't think that Kuzyk and McCutcheon are similarly notable, so creating an article about the principals doesn't look like an option. Entro has (acquired) a significant piece of graphic design history in Canada, but unless we can find independent sources about the company itself, the subject is not "notable" per Wikipedia's policy and idiosyncratic use of the term. Try to write an article that is strictly based only on what independent, reliable sources have to say about Entro; with what we have now, that is not feasible.

Mark Hanis

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an entrepreneur, not properly referenced to any evidence whatsoever of any reliable source coverage about him. As written, in fact, this is almost entirely a gigantic linkfarm of WP:ELNO-violating offsite links to pieces of his own bylined writing — but you don't make a person notable as a journalist or writer by citing sources where he's the bylined author of content about other things, you make a person notable as a writer by citing sources where he's the subject of coverage written by other people. And then there's another directory listing of "books that profile Mark, his colleagues and their work", linking almost entirely to the books' Amazon.com profiles — but even if he is "profiled" in the books, the key to making him notable is to use the books as references for article content, not just to contextlessly rattle through a list of them in directory format. Thing is, books which profile him may help to establish his notability, but books which profile his colleagues do not help to establish his notability, so you have to use the books to support body content so that we can determine which book falls in which camp. The only reason I'm not immediately speedying this as "unambiguous advertising or promotion", in fact, is that it's somehow survived in this form for over a decade -- but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to be referenced much better, and written much more neutrally and objectively, than this.

Delete promotional bio. To clarify , books that mainly cover his colelaguesbut alsocover him in a substantial way can be enough for the purpsoes of notability (in the first few years of Wikipedia there was an attempt to limit notability to works that had to be primarily about the subject; this was eventually and fortunately rejected in favor of the current gudieline that they need to be substantially about the subject. But there's no evidence that the references here are substantial with respect to him. DGG ( talk ) 11:08, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are several other articles written about individuals of the same notability that were apart of the same movement with this article. It is important to have a complete history. There are entire articles and pages about organizations that she created - but not a page about her specifically? That seems unreasonable. There is an article on the performance troup Slam Nuba that she was a co-founder of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slam_Nuba. There are articles on the other co- founders but not her - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_LeFebre, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzi_Q._Smith, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bianca_Mikahn There is an entire page on the March for Women's Lives, which she helped to cordinate, but not about the person that helped create it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_for_Women%27s_Lives_(2004) She is clearly notable.

@SarekOfVulcan: original woman was a founding member - there was actually a major event that clarified this in Colorado recently; however, sources like this have not updated their records. But that is not the main issue here. The main issue is notability

@Xxanthippe:, @AaqibAnjum:, @SarekOfVulcan:, @Serial Number 54129:@I dream of horses: @CAPTAIN RAJU: Thank you all for your feedback. There have been a plethora of of sources added including a movie that was written about her, Several books that were written about her, CSPAN news clips on her, and a lot more. Is there anything else that is needed to close this conversation. I am new to this contributor process so any advise is appreciated.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreaPerry22 (talk • contribs), 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Comment - @AndreaPerry22: you need to find verifiable reliable sources that are not primary sources that speak to the notability of the article subject. In other words, if there are newspaper or magazine articles that are ABOUT her (not by her); reviews of her books or creative works that are written by someone else that is published in a notable academic journal, newspaper or magazine; awards that she has received that are not from her faculty page or cv, but from an external source, etc. Do read up on WP:RS, WP:VERIFY and other Wikipedia policies and guidelines. You should not include primary sources (written by the subject themselves), or any social media or blog sources. Netherzone (talk) 00:24, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Netherzone: Thank you for this assistance. There are several articles that are about her and not by her that are cited, including CSPAN, principia news, now.org, world slam, slam nuba, arkansas gazette, john hopskins news and more, and some books as well that were written by independent sources. This should be considered verifiable sources. Is there anything else that needs to be fixed?— AndreaPerry22 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment - @AndreaPerry22: Please read WP:GNG. This guideline explains the requirements for establishing notability. The subject will need several sources that meet all of the requirements mentioned: Significant coverage, Independent of the subject and from Reliable(WP:RS) secondary sources. Unfortunately, at the moment I don’t see any of the references that meet all of these requirements. CBS527^Talk 05:20, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbs527: there were several indpendent sources mentioned. including CSPAN as well as several books, and academic university news papers. Is there something wrong with these sources?— Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreaPerry22 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Comment and questions: The article tells us that "She is known primarily for her international TEDx talk where she discussed leadership and diversity", a talk that "picked up attention quickly". I can imagine that this or that particular TEDx talk can pick up attention, or even that it can retain attention; but the article provides no evidence for this. Evidence is needed, because TEDx talks are very numerous, and your average TEDx talk is unremarkable. (Is there informed discussion of her talk?) Or is there a misstatement in the article? If she's known primarily for something else, what is this? -- Hoary (talk) 07:13, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- This is, ""Lessons of Leadership & Diversity from the Bar""., the only TED talk I could find. IMO it seems rather routine and unremarkable. I can't find any independent sources discussing this CBS527^Talk 10:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As others have said the sources in the article are inadequate to establish notability, thus failing WP:GNG. In fact quite a few of the references don’t mention the subject at all. Google searches turn up nothing helpful, mostly PR announcements, Youtube and social media. Further, there is no mention of Nselaa Ward anywhere on "NOW". site where the article states she was a “National Field Director” and, nobody with the name of “Nselaa Ward“ has ever been licensed to practice law in the United States. What I did find was an attorney named “ Nitche Selaa Ward” in Colorado, whose profile (and certain photos online) are identical to the subject.("Linkin"., "AVVO"., "Search".)There was also an article on the NOW website that mentions a Nitche Ward. Neither Nselaa Ward nor Nitche Ward have adequate sources to establish notability. Based on some Google searches, there is the possibility this article could be part of a “rebranding” campaign for the subject, IMO. CBS527^Talk 22:23, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Cbs527: There are several things that make her notable and they are all independent of each other. 1. She organized the 2004 March for Women's Lives - which was the largest women's march. This was cited in CSPAN. 2. She was on the Poetry Slam team that was the #1 Slam Team in the world (Slam Nuba). This was cited in the slamnuba website. 3. She was the first woman to win the State Arkansas Grand Slam (cited in an Arkansas newspaper) 4. She was ranked in the top 5 Women of world poetry slam champions. (cited by the women of the world poetry website) Any of these independently is enough for her to be considered notable. This is one top of all of the other items that she did. Whether she is notable is a separate discussion from what should be included in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreaPerry22 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Could the article be a hoax? Xxanthippe (talk) 23:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

No, I don’t believe the article is a hoax. There is more to the story that isn’t necessary to bring up in the AFD. The “search” link in my delete post above will provide more information for you to form your own opinion. Regards, CBS527^Talk 01:35, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your point being, I suppose, that there is a source there that says "Nitche S. Ward" was disbarred from practising law in 2017. If that is her it should certainly be in the BLP. A smart find. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:44, 10 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@Cbs527: NO she is a real person. It is not a hoax. I did not include information about license suspension because from what discussed at the townhall meeting - it is something that is in litigation. I did include that she compromised /risked her licences. However, I did see where wiki indicated that did not approve of debatable derogatory information in BLP, So I was careful not to include partial facts considering it is something that is still controversial and in litigation. Also, her legal name is Nselaa Ward. The other AKAs are stage names. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndreaPerry22 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

Her strongest claim to notability is to have been disbarred from practising law in the State of Colorado in 2017. This is not enough for WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

@AndreaPerry22 . Do you have any connection with the subject of this BLP that you created? Is there any WP:COI that you should declare? Xxanthippe (talk) 05:59, 10 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Delete This is so fundamentally promotional that there is no way of cleaning it up--and there is no point in trying because there is no underlying notability .

Question. The links that I clicked on within the references mention Nitche (S.) Ward but not Nselaa Ward. (Most of them do. There was a playlist that didn't obviously mention either, and one or two other obscurities.) The article doesn't even mention the former name. If an article is warranted, why is it titled "Nselaa Ward"? -- Hoary (talk) 12:25, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, WP:NUKE. This article is so promotional that I can't see how it could be fixed (and there are few things I like better than taking a chainsaw to a gert chunk o'spam).

Keep No valid deletion rationale has been advanced. WP:CRYSTALBALL allows for exactly this kind of page: 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. [...] Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, etc. XOR'easter (talk) 23:46, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per XOReaster and ClarityFiend - articles of this type are permitted by CRYSTALBALL, there are plenty of things it could discuss that are more than just speculation. GirthSummit _(blether) 22:34, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:5P1, "Our encyclopedia combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers". Eclipses are often covered in almanacs, such as here, in The Old Farmer's Almanac. Granted, this example source provides 2020 eclipse dates, but in my view, it serves Wikipedia's readers to be able to learn about those that will occur in future years.

Appears to be a non-notable subject. None of the sources establish notability under WP:GNG. Not certain which SNG applies here, I'm guessing WP:NARTIST, and that one fails too - no evidence that any of the four points there are met. Source analysis:

The bizjournals source establishes that he is the host of "Made in America" but doesn't have significant coverage of him, it's about the series.
Variety is an interview, which isn't something that establishes notability
Grist is written by the subject
The Atlantic doesn't mention him in the accompanying text, so I'm guessing he isn't a significant subject in the video (and even if he were, the claim it's supporting suggests that it would only establish when and why he came out of the closet)

A BEFORE search did not turn up anything significant - plenty of things by him, but didn't see anything major about him. I'm also very suspicious of this being paid editing. creffett (talk) 18:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

- I’m really not sure that we can claim that WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES for an article that has been poorly sourced for 10+ years. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 23:32, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's a terrible argument - Wikipedia has tens if not hundreds of thousands of long-poorly-sourced articles on topics on which plenty of spurces exist (I've been making it a project to fix up hundreds of them in my areas of my interest in the last couple of years with great success.) It's not there "must be sources", it's that there "are" sources: you can't tell the history of the AIDS epidemic in Canada, or of LGBT history in Canada that covers the AIDS epidemic, without talking about AIDS Vancouver, and that story has been written. It even pops up peripherally in the mass-market American histories due to them being established so early as a community response to AIDS that it tied into the Gaëtan Dugas story, even though those books had no interest in Canada besides the Dugas connection. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:50, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - The Drover's Wife Any suggestions of sources I could try? I cannot find anything that would indicate notability - and ‘’WP:SOURCESEXIST is not a valid argument for AfD. I’m genuinely trying to rescue this article, if it’s possible. I’m not convinced right now. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 15:50, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - If you're "genuinely trying to rescue the article", perhaps the twelve thousand, five hundred and nineteen hits in newspapers.com , tons of which have detailed and substantive coverage of the organisation, might be useful, just for a start. And that's not even the place that I'd start because you're likely to get even better coverage than that in the history books (given my experience of researching LGBT and specifically AIDS history). To be blunt, your insistence that you "cannot find anything that would indicate notability" is starting to look like you're taking the piss. The Drover's Wife (talk) 18:29, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        The Drover's Wife firstly, don’t swear at me. I won’t tolerate that abuse. If you think this article is worth saving, I think it’s best if you demonstrate notability by showing your best three sources as per WP:THREE. Just saying that I should “check the history books” or counting hits is not acceptable. There are plenty of organisations in the UK that have done similar good work that are not notable enough for their own article. This isn’t personal, I’m following WPs policies. Cardiffbear88 (talk) 18:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        I didn't just give you three, I gave you literal thousands of substantive hits. The newspapers.com link above demonstrates the most extraordinarily clear pass of WP:GNG of any AfD I've seen in quite some time. I suggest you read it before you dismiss it as "counting hits". It's interesting that your insistence that you were "genuinely trying to rescue the article" was dropped the second I provided you enough detailed and quality coverage in reliable sources to bash out a WP:GA on the subject. The Drover's Wife (talk) 18:53, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        The Drover's Wife come on, you’ve been here long enough to know that just saying “there are thousands of hits, it must be notable!” is not acceptable. Give me your best three and you might convince me. Google links only please I don’t have a Newspapers.com account Cardiffbear88 (talk) 19:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm not just saying that they're thousands, that link helpfully provides excerpts of the sorts of content it is, which is why if you'd read it you know there's enough material for a WP:GA there, which would be enough for a reasonable person to be "convinced". I'm just going to keep linking these thousands of articles providing good detailed coverage for the benefit of anyone who's not bent on intentionally ignoring them. The Drover's Wife (talk) 19:06, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        I’m not ignoring them, but I don’t have a Newspapers.com account and I’m not prepared to put my card details in to set one up. I’ve always found that WP:RS tend to be found on Google News or JSTOR. Not on this occasion. I am fully prepared to spend some time rescuing this article if you could just provide any independent sources.Cardiffbear88 (talk) 19:11, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        Newspapers.com is part of Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, and you don't even need that access to see the excerpts on the page I linked (again, if needed). Google News has never been good for historical coverage on any topic and JSTOR, while a reliable source, is not in anyone's definition a comprehensive one for coverage of more than very broad subject-matter. Deciding you specifically won't use the right databases for reliable coverage of a given subject is not actually a reflection on the subject. The Drover's Wife (talk) 19:16, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        See, I didn’t even know that Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library existed. Why didn’t a friendly editor help a relative newbie out, rather than being rude and obnoxious? This is a wonderful treasure trove that you could have politely pointed me towards rather than what you’ve just done. Never mind, eh? Assume good faith in future, I’m only here to try and improve things. WP:AGF Cardiffbear88 (talk) 19:21, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        So, I take it you'll be withdrawing your nomination now that we're acknowledging that huge amount of detailed coverage exists? The Drover's Wife (talk) 19:25, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as The Drover's Wife has made clear that there are extensive sources. @Cardiffbear88: If you are a n00b, I would suggest you lurk in these AFD discussions for a bit, and then join them, before starting to nominate articles. Keep a list, and then after watching for a bit, you will have a better sense of what should/not be deleted. And you will learn the ropes... for example you should have done a more complete search WP:BEFORE your good faith nomination. --Theredproject (talk) 16:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question Nehme1499, GiantSnowman Can I ask if you checked the other wiki's because according to the Russian one he has played 12 games for Estonia at national level. However I am not sure if that was under-21, U23 Olympics, I don't think it was for UEFA Euro 1996 qualifications period as I don't see games for that when I had a look. I do feel these delete votes are currently are saying one thing without analysing the players credentials, which kinda bugs me. Govvy (talk) 18:55, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Govvy: I had already checked him out at national-football-teams.com: he isn't there. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 19:01, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nehme1499: It would of helped if you explained this AfD a little more, I mean, one when something looks like it's pointing to national team games, it really does help that you explain your findings as well. Govvy (talk) 20:23, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Govvy: WP:NFOOTY includes both clubs and NTs and, as I explicitly stated that he doesn't pass the guideline, it's implied that I believe that he hasn't played for a senior NT. Also, where in the article does it "look like it's pointing to national team games"? It just says that he was the Estonian league's top scorer once, followed by a bullet point of Estonian (non professional) clubs he has played in. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly said in the info box on the Russian wiki that he played for the Estonian national team for 12 games from 1994 to 95! I pointed to that earlier. Govvy (talk) 20:34, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English wiki, not the Russian one. I'm not going to investigate every single wiki the guy has. Especially since I'm not fluent in German, Russian, Estonian or Hungarian. Also, the Russian one points to him having played at YOUTH level, not senior. My statement was very clear: he doesn't pass GNG, nor NFOOTY (ergo: he hasn't played in a professional league, nor for a SENIOR national team). I don't see why you would like me to explain in detail the reasoning behind why I believe he hasn't played for a national team. If the author of the page didn't write it, then why should I write a paragraph stating: I searched on NFT.com, he isn't there. So rest assured, he HASN'T played for a senior national team. THEREFORE he doesn't pass NFOOTY. Seems a bit pedantic. Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 20:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why pedantic? I wasted 30 minutes looking into that simply because you failed to write that down as part of the reason to your nomination, it's a clear oversight and unprofessional of you. Govvy (talk) 20:44, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If even after 30 minutes you didn't figure out that the Russian wiki listed him as a youth international, and not a senior... Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per List of The Outer Limits (1963 TV series) episodes. This iconic TV series broadcast 49 episodes and each episode has its own Wikipedia article. Deletion of the series' sole two-part episode would leave a void in the complete record. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 14:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NEXIST. Looking at other Outer Limits episode pages, I see references to a few non-fiction analyses of the program.
- The Outer Limits: The Official Companion by David J. Schow and Jeffrey Frentzen, Ace Books (1986) — republished as The Outer Limits Companion by GNP/Crescendo (1998)
- The Outer Limits at 50 by David J. Schow, Creature Features (2014)

These are out-of-print and I can't immediately access them online, but I see on other Outer Limits articles that they have non-fiction information on each episode. I'm also seeing some coverage here:

Gender in Science Fiction Films, 1964-1979: A Critical Study by Bonnie Noonan, MacFarland & Co (2015)
The Life and Death of Rising Star Steve Inhat — Gone Too Soon by Linda Alexander, Bear Manor Media (2018)
"The Outer Limits" by David J. Schow, Twilight Zone magazine vol 4 no 6 (1985)
Cinefantastique vol 30, pg 93

As Roman Spinner said, every Outer Limits episode has its own page, and most of them are in the same state; I'm not sure why this article was nominated in particular. Is there a consensus about which television shows get episode pages for every episode and which don't? -- Toughpigs (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now, with reservations. I think there is a larger issue with TV series in general, where some episodes are notable, others are not, and currently we have pages for them all. I'm the original creator of this page, and many other Outer Limits episode pages, along with another user (Motor). In over a decade, we haven't really done any work to improve the content. There appears to be only one important published source for this TV series, which has appeared in (I believe) three editions beginning in the 1980s (Schow, noted above). Right now all the episodes are in a linked series of pages and it might be a lot of work to reorganize. Certainly the series is an important one historically and artistically, and some episodes have been written about extensively (those authored by Harlan Ellison, of course, but some others too). A Blu-ray edition was released in 2019 containing new commentaries full of historical information, but these are audio, not written. It's hard to quote from those in verifiable way. The Inheritors is considered to be a "good" episode from the series, but nothing strikes as particularly notable apart from its belonging to the show. In the long run, I would prefer not to lose the data content of the pages, even for less notable episodes, because this is an anthology series; thus the information is hard to summarize concisely in a standard episode list. I think artistically significant episodes should have their own page and lesser episodes don't really need a page, but if we delete them we will lose all the back links for important actors of the day, etc. So, I'm undecided and would err on the side of keeping rather than deleting. After all, WP has lots of room. Slowmover (talk) 20:03, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is proof just "having plenty of sources" does not advance notability and that an article can be sourced, implying notability, while landing in the middle of What Wikipedia is not. If a subject is not notable then no amount of "stacked on sourcing will make it more notable". This is certainly true when source titles like "New Jersey brothers rent billboard to prank dad on birthday" are evident and certainly if many sources are promotional, giving the article a clear advertising tone. Many people world-wide would be considered "Addiction Recovery Advocate's", there are too many "Entrepreneur's" in the world, and a surplus of internet personality's (content creator) to try to make inclusion to include "the whole world". A source indicates the subject was an "insurance agent" that kicked the habit, with an in between co-founding of an insurance company and starting a rehab business, but there are many thousands of such inspiring stories which do not rise to deserving an encyclopedia article. The billboard stunt dominates sources that is a "birthday stunt", posted on facebook. The temporary "fame" of the billboard stunt coupled with employment of prdistribution.com. to facilitate a "marketing" strategy, along with clear general news reporting is good promotion but also does not translate to encyclopedia notability.

Delete There is not enough 3rd party coverage of him. The award coverage is based from the award's own press release. THe one indepdent source is about a production and does not really indicate notability of him as an individual.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:03, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (per Nom) and optional ATD "Merge" to (and expand) Great Lakes Theater#Artistic directors. A merge rationale is also supported by WP:BEFORE; "C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted" (#4): If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term. A general listing of Google search hits has been shown to not advance notability and "significant hits" directly supports merging. I am a fan of classical theater arts but when a search does not produce anything to allow for more than a two sentence pseudo biography, the questioning of notability is warranted concerning having a stand alone article. 12 years is long enough for something of substance to have emerged. The second paragraph is just a repeat of the first, to include duplicate links, but with the added years. This could be added to the first (and only) paragraph resulting in little more than a dictionary entry. Otr500 (talk) 07:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect To episode list on Randall and Hopkirk article. Well it's a notable ITC series, in my opinion it's one of the finest TV series of all time. But the individual episodes admittedly lack significant coverage in reliable sources. You'd have to nominate all 26 articles for deletion. The Avengers episodes have just about enough coverage for individual articles I think but the Randall and Hopkirk episodes are more suited to a fan wiki site.

Redirect per above. I don't think a Merge is needed, as the only useful information here (the director, air date, etc) is already included in the target article. Additionally, as none of the information here is sourced, it would be inappropriate to add unsourced information to the main article. If the consensus here results in Redirecting, then the same can probably be WP:BOLDly done for the articles on the other 25 episodes, as a quick look at some of them show largely the same issues as this article.

Very long and extensive piece of WP:FANCRUFT that fails WP:NFICTION/GNG. All references are PRIMARY PLOT summaries, plus a spattering of the usual "appeared in the following media".

Looking at Demon (Dungeons & Dragons) I think all of his fellow demon lords have been redirected there, so we can consider SOFTDELETE and redirect there.

Delete - The only non-primary source being used in the article is the "For Dummies" book, which, as a game-guide written by Wizards of the Coast employees, does not help establish notability. Searching for additional sources brings up a few scattered mentions (a handful of brief "Top Ten" style entries, announcements that he will appear in an upcoming D&D product, etc), but nothing in-depth. Adamant1 mentioned above that he could possibly be mentioned in the Orcus article, and looking there shows that this is already the case, so perhaps at most a Redirect to there can be created afterwards.

Potions in Harry Potter

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There are many notable elements of the Harry Potter verse. But I have doubts that the list of fictional potions used in it is one of them. I don't see any evidence this topics passes NFICTION/GNG. Pure WP:PLOT with elemen ts of OR. There were in the past arguments that it may past LISTN but as recent deletions of many similar lists have demonstrated, we need a discussion that goes beyond plot summaries, and so far nobody has shown anything on this topic that is not 100% a plot summary. Thoughts? A SOFTDELETE through REDIRECT to Magic_in_Harry_Potter#Potions might be a good compromise. PPS. Also, please consider this article has no reception, development, significance, and the sources used or cited in the past don't contain any suggestion such a section is possible. This is the very definition of non-encyclopedic WP:FANCRUFT, I am afraid. PS. Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_spells_in_Harry_Potter is already gone, it's surprising the potions are holding on better than the spells... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:58, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Use the disappearing potion per nom. The Tolkiencruft hunt appears to have abated. Now on to break the Pottery. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:17, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~ Merge with Magic in Harry Potter My initial thought was delete per a deletion years ago of the list of spells in Harry Potter.[[9]] I did not disagree with that deletion, so I went there to check the deletion reasons and found mention of Magic in Harry Potter as the justification for deletion (the list being a non notable plot summary fork). The magic page has a heading and paragraph on potions with a link to this page, making this a sub page of that one. So this page could be merged back into there, but the page is already large. Merge would be fine but could be done through merge process to allow editors there a chance to consider article size. So then the question is whether either of these should exist, and I notice there are sources in both articles that suggest notability, and potentially many more that can go in available with a google. Scholar and books also show up sources, and these were established in the AfD second nomination[10] which lists plenty of sources. The nom. does not attempt to discuss or refute these sources. The argument about adjusting policy on lists does not alter the fact that there are sources establishing notability. The subject is generally notable, although most sources do tend to use the cultural relevance of Harry Potter to make other wider points. Yet they do mention the potions and the magic. The subject is notable outside of the books. -- Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- "The nom. does not attempt to discuss or refute these sources." But I did. They are all WP:PLOT summaries. No analysis of literary significance, development, reception. The subject is very much not notable outside the books. There is next to no referenced content to merge back up anyway. It's overspilled fancruft all the way. PS. The spells would appear, logically, more 'in-universe' notable anyway, and they are already gone, thanks to User:El cid, el campeador, tnx for pointing to the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_spells_in_Harry_Potter. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I spoke imprecisely. I did not think what you said about plot summaries applied to these refs:

Harry Potter and the Classical World
The Ultimate Harry Potter and Philosophy
Harry Potter and the Bible

My comments (with associated caveats) also applied to sources such as Dumbledore's advice to Law Deans and multiple other such articles where the cultural relevance of the Potterverse is used to make some other point. But then, what these do not do is that they do not treat the potions as a subject for a treatment on its own, although it turns out that food in HP does get such treatment![11]. I can believe there is or could be a similar treatment of potions and still think this would thus be notable based on the existing sources and the distinct possibility there are such treatments. Yet I think you have a point. This page is not that treatment. Instead what we have here is largely - no entirely - plot summary. The notable aspects of the subject are not being treated here and this page is more akin to the list of spells (deleted) than the Magic in Harry Potter (retained). As such I think a merge would be highly desirable. There is probably a notable subject here, but this page is not it. Thus I am updating my recommendation to merge. -- Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:22, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge per my !vote last time, along with PWilkinson's comments in that nom.

Delete or redirect to Magic in Harry Potter. It seems to be in poor shape, but I'd imagine that topic can establish itself. This list is a bunch of trivial plot information.

Keep: There are six non-fiction works of literary criticism currently cited on the page.

No, it isn't. It's clear he refers to deleting non-notable Harry Potter articles, in the context of an AfD, not deleting any articles related to Harry Potter.

Redirect to Magic in Harry Potter for being a mere plot summary. Having secondary sources that repeat facts that can be found in the plot, doesn't establish notability.

Keep sigh -- per Andy Dingley, this is part of the indiscriminate nomination of fiction by Piotrus. This is a fundamental core part of the scholarship of Harry Potter -- the Poly-juice potion is a very particular part of how the characters develop, and as ToughPigs points out you already have a significant coverage in several major sources in the article already.

Merge to Magic in Harry Potter, which itself needs to be cleaned up to remove egregious fancruft. The article fails WP:PLOT and WP:LISTN, as the sources here are not used to support anything besides in-universe information, and what little information they can provide would be much better suited over on the Magic page than on this collection of in-universe fancruft. Devonian Wombat (talk) 02:44, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
The subject passes the guideline Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction#Notability, which notes:
All fictional topics must meet the notability guidelines to warrant articles specifically about them. As mentioned earlier, the rule of thumb is that if the topic is sufficiently notable, secondary sources will be available and will ideally be included on article creation.
The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." I will show below that "potions in Harry Potter" has been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources".

  The book notes on page 150:
  Common Draughts, Potions, and Antidotes
  The final section of this chapter lists the common potions you'll find in the wizarding world, most of which clean something, cure some ailment, or cause wizards to behave in ways they otherwise wouldn't. Each of the following sections describes the purpose of the potion, lists its ingredients (if known), and discusses any additional mythological, Biblical, or literary background.
  Here is a sample entry on page 152:
  Dr. Ubbly's Oblivious Unction
  To be "oblivious" is to be unaware, and "unction" refers to an oil or salve, usually a soothing or comforting one, used for religious or medicinal purposes. ("Unction" also refers to rubbing into or sprinkling oil onto the body; thus, Extreme Unction is the term used by the Catholic Church for the Anointing of the Sick, also called Last Rites.) Because we don't know the ingredients for this potion, nor do we know anything about Dr. Ubbly, we can only assume that it is a salve of some sort that's intended to make people oblivious to the world around them (and could, therefore, have a strong connection to—or even be the same potion as—a Confusing Concotion) or forget something uncomfortable or terrifying they've seen.
  One note, however: doctors don't exist in the wizarding world, so this potion may have originated in the Muggle world. "Healer Ubbly" would be more likely, if this were, indeed, a uniquely wizard potion. Ubbly, on the other hand, evokes a strong sense of a bubbly cauldron (ubbly-bubbly).
  Here is a second sample entry on page 152 and page 153:
  Confusing and Befuddlement Draught (also Confusing Concoction)
  A Confusing and Befuddlement Draught is meant to befuddle and, therefore, distract the user. This potion is likely used on Muggles who have seen possible wizard activities, but think of how a rather evil wizard could find it useful in other situations: pouring a smidgeon into his dad's nightcap just before he checks the clock to see how late he got home; sharing a little with a police officer as he or she is writing him a ticket or to a bank teller or store clerk who is counting out his change; slipping a little to a witness in a court case. A good wizard could easily go bad with powers such as these.
  Confusing potions aren't unique to the wizarding world. George Eliot wrote about a "confusing potion" in her 1876 novel, Daniel Deronda (her last). Long before that, Sophocles wrote that Athena tricked Ajax into confusing sheep with men—which is highly inconvenient during war-time! Key ingredients include lovage (historically used as a medicinal tea), scurvy-grass (once a treatment for scurvy or vitamin C deficiency), and sneezewort (a form of yarrow to which many people are allergic). See Chapter 10 for more on these ingredients, all of which you can grow in your backyard.

This "information external to the work" requirement is clearly met by the first source, which says, "Each of the following sections describes the purpose of the potion, lists its ingredients (if known), and discusses any additional mythological, Biblical, or literary background."

  - In the 2007 book The Complete Idiot's Guide to the World of Harry Potter published by Penguin Group, potions are discussed on pages 150–161. The book notes (my bolding), "The final section of this chapter lists the common potions you'll find in the wizarding world, most of which clean something, cure some ailment, or cause wizards to behave in ways they otherwise wouldn't. Each of the following sections describes the purpose of the potion, lists its ingredients (if known), and discusses any additional mythological, Biblical, or literary background."
    The "additional mythological, Biblical, or literary background" for each potion means this is not primarily "plot-related".

    - I do appreciate your good faithed contributions, Cunard, but if this is the best source, err. I mean, look at the examples posted. I can only assume you chose the best. "Dr. Ubbly's Oblivious Unction" has no " mythological, Biblical, or literary backgroung", it's pure plot, unless you think that the remark about the word "ubbly" being a pun on bubbly is, errr, serious analysis? For "Confusing and Befuddlement Draught (also Confusing Concoction)", the analysis is saying that JKR did not invent the concept of the "potion of confusion" and the idea is not novel. Errr. Ok. But again, this is a hard cry from any analysis. We might as well say that the ideas of magical potions is not new, JKR was obviously inspired by previous works and such, so it is notable because... what exactly? The point is, nowehere in this book do I see any non-passing analysis of the concept of potions in Potterverse. It's all plot, plus a few passing remarks that in no way, shape or form meet what I consider to be signifnicant, in-depth analysis of the topic. Nobody is saying that potions in Potterverse, or even Potion XYZ from it, is blah blah literary theory blah blah for any consequential length. Those all, from top to bottom, appear to be mentions in passing, 99% plot-based. And consider that we don't even have an article on magical potion, as far as I can tell, this literary device has not been analyzed much, through maybe as a general trope it is notable. But so far article on Potion doesn't even have an in fiction section, and all we have is this big pile of fancrut that still does not show any connection to non-plot element, and I am sorry, your sources so far do not seem to suggest such connections exist. Please, prove me wrong and cite a paragraph from any of those works that engages not primarily with plot but with some real world elements, literary theory or such. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Here is sample analysis where the author makes a connection between Wolfsbane Potion's inventor Damocles Belby and the Damocles who was a Greek royal attendant (my bolding of the key piece of analysis):
        Wolfsbane Potion
        
        Wolfsbane Potion may be the most valuable potion available to wizards: it allows a werewolf to lead a normal life by keeping him or her from transfiguring fully into a werewolf at each full moon—the body still transforms, but the mind doesn’t. The potion’s main ingredient is aconite (also called monkshood and wolfsbane), a member of the buttercup family that has long been used in small quantities for medicinal purposes—see Chapter 10.
        Rowling reveals that this potion was invented by "Damocles Belby." (Belby is a town in East Yorkshire, England.) An earlier Damocles was a Greek royal attendant who upset the ruler at that time, Dionysius, and was repaid by having a sword suspended over his head, held there by a single hair. Thus the term "the sword of Damocles" refers to an impending tragedy, which is exactly how wizards must feel about werewolves. With just one nip, a wizard's entire life is changed: there is no cure, and even though the illness can be kept under control, wizards are so afraid of werewolves that they do everything in their power to push them out of polite society.
        Here is more analysis connecting a Harry Potter potion to a real-world product:
        Skele-Gro
        
        Skele-Gro, a potion of unknown ingredients given to wizards who need to regrow one or more bones, is an apt wordplay on a Muggle product called HairGro, which, like its wizarding counterpart, encourages a part of the human body to grow at unusual rates. HairGro has the advantage of being a topical product that is applied to the scalp; Skele-Gro is a horrible steaming potion that burns as it goes down and causes the painful regrowing of bones to commence. It is used not to make wizards taller but to regrow limbs that have been severed or otherwise cursed to no longer have working bones in them.
        Cunard (talk) 09:53, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        I fail to see anything resembling an in-depth analysis that's not plot related. Saying that JKR used the word Damocles and then retelling the story of real world related legend is not analysis. Neither is a speculation about connection to HairGro. It's like trying to argue that Star Wars is notable solely because it names implies connection to real world notable concept of stars and wars. C'mon. It's clear there are just no good sources here. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:19, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cunard has , as is frequently the case, has shown that this meets the technical requirements. Major plot elements in major fiction should have articles, especially when they are complex as this. The depth of the coverage of fictional elements depends upon the cultural importance of the fiction. It's true we deleted List of spells.., which is even more important, and that needs to be reconsidered . Considering the amount of effort we devote --and should devote, as one of the key functions of an encyclopedia-- to covering minor works for which relatively few people have heard but are nonetheless notable, it's peculiar that we don't give adequate coverage to the ones that actually are important. . The way it sometimes looks, we say that if something is notable by common sense, that's a reason to delete, even if it meets the WP:N. It's as if we made a agreement to have rules in order to interpret them in the stupidest way possible, just to show how clever we are at being paradoxical.

Keep as a GNG pass, per the excellent case laid out by Cunard. It's a pretty simple call based on that, really. Carrite (talk) 09:36, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - as unneeded wikia-type fan content which looks at every detail of a fictional world without analysis of its actual importance in the literature or without it. Passing GNG has never been [and will never be] the sole threshold to having a standalone article. I understand that a lot of people are passionate about Harry Potter and there is nothing wrong with that, but there are much better places to get Harry Potter information than WP. I fail to see how a list of potions is central to the literary importance of Harry Potter. There are plenty of HP pages which go into considerable depth and if a potion is important it can and probably should be noted elsewhere, but having a list which literally... lists.. every spell which is mentioned regardless of importance is just a fan activity. WP does not go into depth with tabloid-type content - even though there are always sufficient and in-depth sources. The same can be true here - coverage of something does not mean that we need an article which looks at every detail of the topic. Stats are another example - we avoid having articles which are just stats, even though there are considerable sources which discuss just stats. Instead, we discuss stats on the individual, team, or event pages. Same should be here - the spells can be mentioned but we do not need a list that is just spells. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia ^talk 12:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as GNG is met, and anything else involving focusing on the real-world commentary is just cleanup. As far as some of the NOTHERE arguments above, I have found that multiple fiction AfD participants (that is, those inclined to not keep such elements) are entirely unconvinced by the presence of dead-tree, written, independently published secondary sources which cover fictional elements. I logged in today to review Confessions and Lamentations in light of the current Covid-19 pandemic, and of course it's been redirected without merge. I have no less than three dead-tree books which cover that episode, but not the time to put out fires started by those with plenty of time to redirect, but never a finger lifted to improve.

Delete a non-notable entertainer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:33, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. People do not get an automatic free pass over WP:GNG, as a bypass of actually having to pass the defined notability standards for their field of endeavour, just because they can show two pieces of human interest coverage in their local hometown media. GNG is not just "count the media hits and keep anything that meets or exceeds two", but also takes into account factors like the geographic range of where the coverage is coming from and the context of what the person is getting covered for. To get into Wikipedia on just two pieces of purely local coverage, one or both of those sources would have to be verifying that he had accomplished something "inherently" notable, like winning a Juno Award or getting himself elected to the provincial legislature — if you're aiming for "notable just because media coverage exists", instead of "notable because he's accomplished something that passes Wikipedia's inclusion standards", then he has to show a lot more and/or wider coverage than this.

List of Latin names of rivers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not encyclopedic content, this is mostly just a translation listing. While some of the included rivers were known in Latin times, some of them were not, and others would probably have been known by Greek names. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Latin names of lakes and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Latin names of islands for similar discussions.

Comment It appears that Category:Copy to Wiktionary is neglected and articles are not actually transwikied anymore since the bot that did it automatically retired. It has eight exonym articles that MiraclePine tagged then. I'm not at wiktionary enough to say if these should really be transwikied there, but agree with deletion and the prior discussions.

Delete per nom. If someone wants to know the Latin name for a river, we have interlanguage links and the Latin Wikipedia for that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:45, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If finding one river name is the problem, then, assuming there is an article about the river on Vicipaedia, this indeed would be the best way, much better than a list here or a list on Vicipaedia -- because these lists are largely unsourced, whereas a river article on Vicipaedia will normally have been checked against sources and will have sources cited. Andrew Dalby 16:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is the kind of list that's particularly useful when studying Greek and Roman topics, because it gathers all of the related names in one place. In fact, I'm quite certain that I've looked for lists like this in the past, although I don't recall ever running across this page—presumably I was looking in the wrong place, or before this article was created. Searching for individual names in another language's Wiki—or hoping that an article exists for each modern name in another language—is about the most cumbersome way I can imagine to do this, and is almost certain to prevent users from finding the information they're looking for. As an aside, skimming the list I don't see anything that wouldn't have been known in Greek or Roman times, as the nominator suggests; pretty much all the rivers of western Europe barring those in Scandinavia and Ireland would have been known, as well as all rivers flowing into the Mediterranean or Black Seas, and most of those flowing into the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. But my main point is, it would be an extreme disservice to users to make it harder to find this information. P Aculeius (talk) 14:27, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:NOT and LISTN. Consider copying to Wiktionary. Anyone who wants to see this content can find it at la:Index fluminum. b uidhe 18:39, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LISTN has no applicability here; geographical features such as rivers are notable by definition. The existence of an equivalent article at Latin Wikipedia is also irrelevant, since 1) if it shouldn't exist on English Wikipedia, it shouldn't exist on Latin Wikipedia either; 2) English-speaking users aren't going to find an article on Latin Wikipedia if we don't have one; 3) to the extent that the article has text in English other than the list itself—such as notes explaining which rivers are included and which aren't, or which are Latinized versions of Greek names, etc., sending readers to read the article in Latin is the opposite of helpful—they need to know what it means in English. This isn't just a list of translations, because all of these names appear in English-language sources about Greek and Roman history and geography—and articles about individual rivers aren't always going to give the Greek or Roman name. This list has value because it gathers together all of these different rivers in one place—and the purpose of Wikipedia is to make useful and reliable information available and easy to find. Deleting it, or relying on it being available in another language—although the same arguments for deletion could be made there—makes useful information potentially much harder to find, and perhaps not findable at all to English speakers. Why would we do that? P Aculeius (talk) 02:40, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Argument (1) isn't exactly true: the cases are different. A list of rivers may be encyclopedic content on Vicipaedia, and, if so, naturally it will be in Latin. A list of river names in some specified non-English language may not be encyclopaedic content in en:wiki. Still, there's a lot in what you say: the existence of the list on Vicipaedia doesn't help readers unfamiliar with Latin, who will not easily be able to find it or relate it to their own languages. Andrew Dalby 16:08, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One thing that people need to remember is that much writing, particularly academic writing, in Europe was in Latin for many centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire, so whether a river was known by the Romans in ancient times is irrelevant to the issue of whether it has a Latin name. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:53, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of European rivers with alternative names. Rename to Rivers of Classical Antiquity. The list gathers a lot of useful information, but there is already a list with Latin names of rivers: List of European rivers with alternative names. I support moving the names that are not already in this second list and then making a redirect to it. Following P_Aculeius suggestion, I think renaming the article to Rivers of Classical Antiquity is the best solution. T8612 (talk) 11:39, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, but what about the non-European rivers in this list, such as Nahr Ibrahim / Abraham in Lebanon (Adonis in Latin)? This list doesn't but should include coordinates for each river, so one could figure out its scope and look up any river whose location one knows. --Doncram (talk) 23:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, tentatively. Note "Merge" is the more accurate term for a decision to "moving the names" to the List of European rivers with alternative names. I would consider supporting a "Merge" decision, but the Latin-named rivers are not just in Europe. Also the supposed reader who wants to know just the English and Latin names of rivers in any area of Europe would then have more work to look up just what they want. At that list-article's Talk page, I suggest renaming it to "European rivers' alternative names", which I think is better, but perhaps editors here might have an even better alternative name. Also I suggest adding coordinates of rivers (usually taking the location of the mouth of the river) to the list-article. That way a reader interested in compiling Latin names of rivers in a given country, say, can look up, with some effort, the English names by consulting the linked OpenSourceMap. --Doncram (talk) 23:05, 10 March 2020 (UTC) 23:47, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I may have stated my opinion too fast. If the title is the real problem, we could just rename it to List of rivers of the Roman Empire, in which case the Barrington Atlas would be the reliable source of the article. There are still a few rivers listed here that would be taken out (such as Vistula and Volga), but the scope is larger than "List of European rivers with alternative names". "List of rivers of the Roman Empire" would also be more encyclopedic, since it was the nominator's principal concern. T8612 (talk) 00:13, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Rivers of Classical Antiquity or something along those lines would be better, since it would include all of the names found in Greek and Latin sources—often the same name appears in both, or with only minor variations. The Roman Empire never included some of these rivers, but they were known to the Romans through travel and Greek sources—and there's no reason to delete them as long as it's possible to verify the names. P Aculeius (talk) 00:24, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

See the "Map all coordinates using Open Street Map" within the article now. The linked map now shows the Latin names for most of the biggest rivers in Europe and going across into Asia, where the Romans had names, within and without the Roman Empire at its peak. In process of adding coordinates for about 30 rivers so far, aiming for the bigger ones, I notice that the article omits Nile, Tigris, Euphrates, various other rivers definitely known to the Romans, but I am guessing these weren't given Latin names different than native names?

I am stronger now for "Keep", although amenable to a rename, because the needed, now partly developed, linked map makes the entire list-article much more useful, IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 01:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

These should probably be included, although the Tigris and Euphrates were presumably known by their present names in English, which are of Greek origin. Knowing that the names aren't different is still useful to readers, who might otherwise think they've been omitted by mistake. However, if memory serves, the Nile was the Nilus in Latin. The only parts of Europe where rivers are unlikely to have been known to or named by the Romans—and they may have known of some of them—are Ireland, the Scandinavian peninsula, and roughly the area of medieval Poland and beyond to the north and east. The Romans knew all the major German rivers, everything in the Balkans, and the major rivers emptying into the Black Sea. P Aculeius (talk) 14:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The deletion nomination asserted the article is "Not encyclopedic content, this is mostly just a translation listing," but in fact that statement is simplistic and non-encyclopedic itself. The set of rivers known and named by the Romans is more complicated, and it is not a matter of merely translating names. There is not a simple one-to-one correspondence to rivers known and named in Wikipedia's perspective about rivers of Europe. Consider:
- There are numerous cases where the Romans' perspective on which is a tributary vs. which is the main stem of a river differs, hence which should get a different name. Note the longest river in the U.S., the Mississippi-Missouri River combo, might better have been given one name, and what is now the Mississippi north of St. Louis maybe could, perhaps should, be considered a tributary to that.(Well, probably not; the naming was not just a historical accident from the fact that La Salle reached the Mississippi above St. Louis, first. I think the native americans considered the Missouri, smaller at its mouth than the Mississippi, to be the tributary. Anyhow, I did pass by some Roman/Latin differences in perspective this way.)
- Global/regional climate changes, and humankind's actions affect physical reality of what are rivers vs. streams vs. wadis/dry rivers vs. obliterated/no longer there places, and hence which get named and widely known as rivers. Note the former streams / rivers over Manhattan no longer exist. Maybe some now-dry wadis were flowing in Roman times. Even at a single moment in time, it is arbitrary to say which is which. For example, to the Romans, the Feritor was probably considered a river, while it is termed a stream (Bisagno (stream)) in Wikipedia now (though it is pretty big and river-like IMHO, based on photo in its article).
- Historical events and knowledge affect what streams/rivers are considered important. For example the Rubicon was a highly notable legal border in Roman times and crossing it in 49 B.C. was a very big deal. It is a major member of "rivers in the Roman perspective" and would be no matter how small and stream-like it might be.
- Region of rivers known and named by Romans is different than the extent of the Roman Empire (which itself varied in extent through time), and is different than "Europe" which itself is an arbitrary concept.
  - The Roman Empire included areas not showing in now-linked map, e.g. arid North Africa, where there were and/or are no rivers.
  - The Roman Empire did not include areas known to Romans, such as where Vistula and Volga run, as noted above
  - The Roman Empire included parts of Asia, wasn't there some Roman dude ruling over Palestine at some point? Oddly the list does not include the Jordan River, important in history.
  - The Roman Empire and roman knowledge didn't span Ireland, Scandinavia, as noted above.

The list-article could/should be developed to be more encyclopedic, including by directly incorporating map(s) from Roman perspective. It could/should appear a lot less like a mere one-to-one correspondence / set of words to be translated. I expect they could have better been renamed and developed, but probably the topics of List of Latin names of lakes and List of Latin names of islands should not have been deleted, either. --Doncram (talk) 15:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no evidence that this is a separate place from Wawasee Village, Indiana on Lake Wawasee.

Merge with Wawasee Village, since all indications point to these being the same place. Though we may want to merge Wawasee Village into this article based on the name of the closed post office.

There were, I was called a vandal twice for it. Actually BOTH should be merged to Syracuse, Indiana, the actual town and address of the area around the lake, with the Village being a neighborhood of the town [12] [13]. One would have to dive deeper into the history of perhaps an annexation or however the lake's community grew but places do not need their own articles unless substantive sources beyond the GNIS demonstrate they do! Reywas92^Talk 19:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The 1951 quad shows Wawasee as a cluster of buildings along the railroad tracks on the North shore (not the airport location shown on newer maps). It was definitely a a place, however it's unclear whether this was an established community or just a train station and post office serving vacation homes and resorts on the lake. I'm not going to vote "keep" based on the potential existence of sources but I bet someone could find something written about it if they had the time.

Wawasee Village is on the East side of the lake and appears to be a non-notable subdivision within the town of Syracuse. This is a different place and not suitable for merging. –dlthewave ☎ 12:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should talk about current reality rather than assume from maps alone that those labels of neighborhoods around the lake were completely independent communities that inherently need separate articles rather than residences simply being distributed along the shore. It does the reader no good to have multiple worthless stubs masquerading with the present "is" when relevant content can be consolidated and presented in context, as in History or Geography sections. People will say we're a gazetteer, but no part of that mandates every name in a database or on a map needs separate entries on our end. If Wawasee Village should be merged into this one instead or Syracuse, that works. Reywas92^Talk 18:51, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect to Lake Wawasee. This article and History of Lake Wawasee cover the entire topic; there's no sign that "Wawasee" is a separate entity. Wawasee Village is not an appropriate redirect as it is an unrelated subdivision. –dlthewave ☎ 03:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Tough. There are next to no sources for its modern name, but "The Mission Society" has some. Still, it's not always the right hit, for example I think [18] is not the same; we need to search for "The Mission Society for United Methodists". There is an in-depth source here: [19] but it is self-published, but if the article is kept itis probably good (if somewhat primary). There are brief mentions in [20] or [21], through I can't find any in-depth coverage. It's really borderline. Given that protestant churches are somewhat for-profit organizations IMHO I'd have expected to find more promotional materials, but I guess it was founded only in 1984. I think I will do the rare thing and abstain. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:18, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that links to a store site selling interdenominational books, as well as a dissertation, are not WP:RS sources. That is the problem here. The lack of 3rd party, independent coverage that is significant in scope. The sources quoted in this AFD demonstrate the organization exists, but do not cross the line as far as WP:GNG is concerned. This is why we require at least a couple of sources that are truly independent of the subject matter. The last source may or may not cover it significantly, but it is a pay to see and I don't see any quotes or extracts from it that would demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The last source is not pay to see. I assume you mean the second to last. But being behind a paywall doesn't make it not a source.--Jahaza (talk) 01:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But if you aren't quoting content from it, there is nothing to judge it by. Being behind a paywall isn't a license to just assume without quotes. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 15:54, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A mention in the WSJ here [30], an article about one of their missionaries with coverage of the organization here[31]--Jahaza (talk) 01:32, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment -- The fact that sources are behind a paywall does not prevent their being RS. In my view the main reasons for deletion should not OR and notability. The test is whether an article is verifiable, not whether it is verified. Dennis Brown is trying to be too rigorous in his approach to the subject. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:13, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By wanting reliable sources and a demonstration a source behind a paywall actually covers the topic? That isn't being too rigorous, that is normal. If you have access to the article, then providing some kind of quote on content should be easy. If you don't, then you shouldn't be using it as a source. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 17:53, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Having reviewed the sources presented here (because the original article is essentially unsourced), I find the "Keep" arguments unavailing.

List of transmitters of CHAN-DT

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No other Wikipedia article on TV stations has this sort of transmitter site breakout; it appears most of the others were phased out when several large Canadian TV stations turned off many of these, which CHAN did not. The list is sorely out of date and contains many transmitters in rural areas whose status will be hard to verify. Searching all of the more than 80 records against REC's Canada database, 16 are no longer licensed. A better move would be to add any transmitters converted to digital to the CHAN-DT main article which already has a partial list of transmitters—some of which aren't even listed here.

Delete per nom. Indeed, a lot of these are out of service and/or simply unverifiable, and the idea of spinning out "list of [station] transmitters" as a separate article topic from "[station]" was deprecated a long, long time ago. And still to this day, the only "source" being explicitly cited here is "Nelson Media", a site that I certainly remember, but which went defunct more than a decade ago and has never been revived. There's no pressing need to keep this if so much of the content is this poorly verifiable, when we have the capacity to retain the verifiable information in the station's main article.

The result was keep. Consensus is clearly keep, but the best name for the article is in discussion. This should continue at the article talk page. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 21:22, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dura, Africa

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Cannot find any source online. The original and only source listed is an annual directory of Popes and Holy See officials. Not sure how much the original source can determine notability (but it doesn't seem like an independent source). Parts of the article also read as WP:NONSENSE that I'm not sure how to salvage.

~~Keep~~Rename. There's no reason that the sources need to be online, but this web site[33] is a reliable source about this kind of thing. Here's[34] a reference to the ancient see and other's should be available as well. Here's another article mentioning that a bishop has been appointed titular bishop of Dura.[35] Jahaza (talk) 01:56, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Jahaza: I didn't mean to make it sound like sources need to be online, per se. I just did the WP:BEFORE online and couldn't find any additional sources mentioning Dura, so I didn't see it passing WP:GNG and I didn't see enough verification for it to pass WP:GEOLAND notability either. Per geographic notability, I also am not sure if it's a verified micronation (which would need WP:GNG to pass) or a legally recognized place.

And I'm not super familiar with Christian subjects, but what makes the first source a reliable source? And do you know what the second source is mentioning? Thanks Whisperjanes (talk) 05:34, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Jahaza, though renaming the article may be a good idea (Dura (titular bishopric)? Mccapra (talk) 12:49, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I think we have discouraged articles on titular sees of the Catholic Church in partes infidelum. However this was apparently a real place. If kept it should be renamed to end either with Tunisia or the name of the Roman province. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:26, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The title already ends with the name of the Roman province. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:57, 9 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think the name of the province is actually Byzacena per [36]. So I think it should be renamed Dura, Byzacena (which I've just created as a redirect). I think since it was a real place and not just a titular see, we probably shouldn't rename it with titular see in the title. We do need to distinguish from a number of other Duras and we'll need a disambiguation page at some point.--Jahaza (talk) 18:41, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see we already have a disambiguation page at Dura--Jahaza (talk) 18:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The province of Africa was split in the late 3rd century CE/AD when this became part of Byzacena. For most of antiquity this was part of Africa. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It was a real city so should be retained. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:28, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Question & Comment Should this be kept as the name it is right now, then? I do think now, as a titular see, it seems more notable (but I'm still unsure if titular sees are considered micronations like the Vatican or not, which would affect it passing WP:GEOLAND).

But I do see some editors above mentioning it was a real city/place (I assume referring to the ancient city) as their reason for keeping, but I haven't seen a source yet that confirms that. (Unless someone can read the Latin source provided by Jahaza above and it's considered reliable). And I definitely haven't seen a source yet that shows it was/is in Africa.

The reason I'm concerned about the current and only source on the article (The Annuario Pontificio) that is supposed to verify this information is that I can only tell that it's a yearly directory. I'm not sure if it actually has any ancient history or history of geography included, and it only is cited as a source under the "Titular see" section, not the History section. I'm also concerned because the original creator of this article is blocked now because they were found to be a sockpuppet, and had a habit of not citing sources across Wikipedia (look up the word "citations" or "reference" on their talk page or see the block). So I'm not sure if there really was a "Dura, Africa." Whisperjanes (talk) 18:03, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've linked the page to the Italian[37] (& German) versions of Wikipedia. The Italian version of Wikipedia includes three good sources in Latin and French.
