Liverpool Tart (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No evidence of any notability. No sources provided and searches find no support from any RS.

The original creator notes on their Userpage that "promoting the "Liverpool Tart" confection which he discovered in a village web-site" which clearly suggests a non-notable recipe.

A mention on a National Trust site and an inclusion in a recipe blog site both appear to be almost direct copies of this article. Without evidence of dates for the external sites, it is possible that the copying may be from those sites to Wikipedia in which case it would also be a copy-vio.

Even if this is an accepted recipe in some other sources, there is nothing here to indicate notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   15:45, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In Japan, "international" film festivals organized by western ex-pats seem to be mostly vanity projects showcasing films made by "international" people who all happen to live in Japan and who aren't exactly big names in the international film community.

  • Delete I agree with Libstar that inclusion in a film festival run by the same person who created this film does not indicate notability. The other cited source is apparently dead and has been for a while; not sure it was a reliable source to begin with. 2 reviews at two fansites are not indicators of notability.

      The article notes: "1) Little Cleo. She was a hootchie-kootchie girl who for 43 years had her dancer’s image stamped on the back of a fishing lure. A New York City songwriter named Charlie Clark saw Little Cleo perform during the 1930s; when he developed this popular spoon with its wiggling, dancing action in 1953, she became its namesake. In 1996 a female employee of a major retailer took offense at the dancer’s image on the lure, and for the sake of newfound political correctness, the image was removed by Acme Tackle of Rhode Island, the current manufacturer. Little Cleo spoons are thick in proportion to their surface area, so they fish relatively deep. This makes them a favorite trout spoon, but in sizes ranging from 1/16 to 11/4 ounce, they’re suitable for everything from panfish to steelhead and stripers."

    2. Godfrey, Ed (2018-05-19). "My Little Cleos: How a wiggling spoon became my favorite lure". The Oklahoman. Archived from the original on 2021-12-19. Retrieved 2021-12-18.

      The article notes: "For 43 years, Little Cleo spoons had the image of an exotic dancer stamped on the back. The spoons were first introduced in 1953 by the Seneca Tackle Co. in New York, which was started two years earlier by a songwriter and music publisher named C.V. “Charlie” Clark. He named the spoons the “Little Cleo” after a woman he watched perform in the 1930s. Clark believed the wiggling and dancing of the lure would bewitch the fish much like Little Cleo’s dance had mesmerized him."

      The article notes: "18 Little Cleo. This is a great all-around spoon that I find myself using most often forcasting in a trout pond or lake. The comparatively thick body means it fisheswell at medium depths. Most important, though, my favorite ¼-ounce, hammered brass-and-red version sinks quickly as I wait and then wait some more before retrieving.

      The article notes: "• Little Cleo: When Charlie Clark, a songwriter and producer, introduced this lure in 1953, he named it after an exotic dancer he had watched perform. He thought the spoon had the same mesmerizing moves as the dancer. A likeness of a scantily clad dancer was even printed on the back of the original spoons. It was removed years later after Clark’s company was sold to Acme and the latter business received complaints from a female employee of a major retailer."

      The article notes: "The Little Cleo is considered a classic and still being sold, but no longer with the dancing girl's image stamped on the back, except in a collector's edition kit."

    6. "Top 10 Classic Lures". The Oklahoman. 2005-02-27. Archived from the original on 2021-12-19. Retrieved 2021-12-18.

      The article notes: "1. LITTLE CLEO: A spoon first made in 1953. A favorite trout spoon, but suitable for everything from panfish to striped bass. For 43 years, the spoon had an image of a dancing girl stamped on the back before it was removed in 1996 when a retailer complained." The article says Field & Stream is the source.

      The book notes: "Acme's Little Cleo quickly became a favorite when salmon fishing ignited in the Great Lakes almost 30 years ago, and it remains a favorite of many trout and salmon fans there. Its hump-back shape makes it wiggle through the water like a fat bait fish—a meal big fish just can't resist."

      The book notes on page 198: "Salmon not only strike bait, but also on occasion lures. Two of the most popular ones in this region are the Hotshot and Little Cleo. The book notes on page 200, "As for the Little Cleos, you will see them fished where anglers have a large concentration of salmon swimming around in a pocket of water in a non-snatching section (such as beneath the power plant in the Oswego River). Here, fishermen cast Cleos with rather low expectations of a salmon actually chasing and striking the lure. ..."

      The article notes: "These baits come in a crazy number of shapes, but we’ll narrow our selection to one of the most popular choices: the Acme Little Cleo. ♦ CONSTRUCTION: Although the paint will become chipped and the hook will need to be replaced from time to time, this bait is basically indestructible."

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

  • Keep - Per the evidence links above, and per DYK check says this article was 5X expanded on December 19, 2021.

Extremely WP:TOOSOON article of an emerging artist; the notability claim is that they "promoted vaccination through coloring books" (the website credits them by Instagram handle, not by name). Sources are local news and their high school website. They're probably going places! But they have't got there, yet.

Relevant article history, for full disclosure: I put a PROD on this, which was reverted by the original editor, who gave this as the reason: "Deletion is not accepted since the artist has credible sources to support her journey as an artist. The artist is seen in her local newspaper and performing arts center." Alas, I don't think either of those count significantly towards notability. asilvering (talk) 21:56, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (nom): article used incorrect pronouns, which I just noticed (pronouns given on artist's instagram); I've edited this AfD and I'll get to the article in a second.

Comment: Newspapers are credible and artists are difficult to be seen as notability without books but online resources are just as reliable. If the artist did not have newspapers about her it would not be credible but it does. This artist deserves to be recognized on Wikipedia for being involved not only in her community but school. CSUCI's reports on her are credible since it is a real school and the local newspaper is seen by over one million residents which is reliable. The local newspaper is credible to keep this artist on the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oxnardgirl (talkcontribs) 22:08, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Does not meet notability criteria for WP:GNG, WP:NARTIST, WP:BASIC nor WP:ANYBIO. The sourcing is very weak and none of the sources count towards establishing notability - 1st source: interview with no editorial content; 2nd: announcement of her candidacy for a student government position; 3rd: student award; 4: download site; 5: trivial - name check. It is way WP:TOOSOON for this person to be considered for a biographic encyclopedia article. (An aside: This is yet another WikiEdu article of a non-notable artist - I find it somewhat heartbreaking that the teachers are not assigning notable topics for their students to work on. This can result in their students' work being deleted which does not cultivate enthusiam and continued productivity on the part of student editors. It also wastes other editors time.) Netherzone (talk) 22:15, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Netherzone: I've seen an instructor for a WikiEdu course (not this one) tell a student that their article on a non-notable person had "enough secondary sources" to confer notability. I don't know why this communication breakdown is happening but it looks to me like the teachers themselves can't solve the problem and WikiEdu needs to be a lot more clear when they're working with an instructor who isn't already a Wikipedia editor themselves. Heartbreaking is right. -- asilvering (talk) 22:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Oxnardgirl: Thank you for providing an explanation of your perspective here! What we're looking for isn't whether the artist is "credible" - they certainly are an artist, who exists, and who has done the things that have been described in the article. The issue isn't that those sources aren't real or can't be believed. Instead, what we're trying to establish here is "notability". Specifically, you can see the relevant guideline for artists at WP:ARTIST. This is a guideline, not an outright rule, but you can understand from this the level of notability that Wikipedia is looking for: basically, that an artist is well-known for their art, and/or has attracted significant critical attention. The simplest way to demonstrate this is that an artist's art is in the permanent collections of several notable art galleries. As far as I can tell, this artist isn't at that stage of their career yet. What happens now is that other editors will chime in with additional supporting evidence, or they will argue, as I have, that this artist shouldn't have a sole-subject Wikipedia page (yet).
I was about to write something to your talk page when I noticed you'd replied here; I'll be by in a minute. To the regular AfD crowd: this is a WikiEdu student editor. Please take care to be as unbitey as possible if arguing for deletion. Thank you! -- asilvering (talk) 22:30, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What if they had an apocalypse and nobody came? That seems to be the issue here: I can't read the Boston Globe article, but it seems to be dismissive, judging from the headline. Everything else seems to be a mixture of references to buttress uncontroversial statements and in-world fringe publications. Unlike some of these end-of-the-world prophecies it looks as though this one never caught the attention of the outside world.

This was the first revision of the article prior I removed all promotional material. The subject of the article is a Nigerian businessman / entrepreneur who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him. A before search shows me user generated sources, some sources in reputable media but the byline reads “editor” which is indicative of a sponsored post, a before also shows press releases and mere announcements. For example see this a sponsored post, see this note the byline says “editor” indicative of a guest editor which invariably means it is sponsored. An untrained new page reviewer might not catch this, but this article is a blatant ADMASQ on a non notable businessman who is trying to get a Wikipedia presence.

Fails WP:Author. Cookbook and advice column author with next to zero coverage. Per LOC, just one of many 'Prudence Penny' authors. Cause for no consensus in 2010 (nominated by page creator) was having ~50 copies of a cookbook being catalogued in WorldCat. Star Garnet (talk) 21:59, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The name disambiguation on this one is quite difficult. I located a profile of Malone published when How Mama Cooks was released. Some or all of her other works were released as "Prudence Penny" or "Elsie Barton". The LoC authority entry cites this article as a reason for associating the name "Dorothy Malone" with "Prudence Penny", and I don't see anything in VIAF that looks like Dorothy Malone, 1901–.

Soft delete, restored after request at WP:REFUND (courtesy @Muboshgu:, will manually notify IP). No issue with any of that. However, there is still no reliable source, independent coverage to establish notability. If it comes back in spring as per IP's note and if it garners coverage, it can be restored then.

Article was created in 2008 with a "this band exists" vibe and has been flagged for better sources since 2010. From then until about 2019, their works were only visible in the typical streaming and social media services. It turns out that since 2019, one member has become far more notable on her own: Yola (singer). Now the band is occasionally mentioned in reliable media sources, but only ever as an early stop for Yola, and their works are still not gaining any notice in their own right. Meanwhile I plan to add some info about this band to Yola's article, and I think that will be sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:55, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG and NMUSIC. The article has a single source which appears to not mention the subject at all. The only things I found on the internet, were a ticket sales site, several pages that trivially mention the subject, and a paywalled article that may provide significant coverage. But I'm afraid even if it does, that's just not enough; NMUSIC required "multiple, non-trivial, published works" and GNG "stipulates that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article".

According to the article's own lead, the band might satisfy a view NMUSIC criteria but I couldn't find any sources that back this up. Colonestarrice (talk) 12:32, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Nothing even close to notability, and the sources are not even remotely close to showing he is notable. I have my doubts the park is notable, but donating land to create a park does not make one notable. Yes, in my own city of Detroit we have Palmer Park (Detroit) which comes in at 296 acres, and Thomas W. Palmer who donated the first 140 acres for the park has an article. However Palmer has an article firstly because he was a US Senator.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:49, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Lizzie Pitts Merrill Palmer who co-donated the land for Palmer Park with her husband, is more the level of the type of person who does in large part become notable for philanthropic donations. However her park donation was far larger than Woodruff's, and she donated to multiple others causes, set up institutions, and is included in a 1970s multi-volume biographical dictionary of American women. Even at that she seems to have been involved with the movement to extend the vote to women, although the article does not give us any clear indication of what positions she may have held in that movement.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Kbabej. Looking at the articles the prince is the reason for the news coverage, if he wasn't notable the media wouldn't report on him. Had a quick look and also covered in Braunschweiger Zeitung [20], Die Welt [21]. Passes GNG but agree with other comments that the article needs improvement. - dwc lr (talk) 11:55, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    if he wasn't notable the media wouldn't report on him. Except the mere fact that someone "gets reported on" is not one of our notability criteria, and moreover, the media doesn't report on him with any degree of depth. Can you please explain how the LVZ(*) articles above, the un-bylined BZ blurb announcing Dr. Oskar Prince of Prussia spoke to readers about the Johanniter, the nobility in the 21st century and their great family role model and giving a bare-bones "bio", or the Die Welt announcement that has all of this to say about him: Oskar Prince of Prussia will succeed ex-Federal Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, who died in the spring of 2016. The 59-year-old is Lord Master of the Order of St. John, as the festival organizers announced on Wednesday in Gardelegen. contain significant coverage? A handful of news reports providing the same routine biographical details and nothing else is neither evidence of SIGCOV nor of BASIC.
    (*)I should note that my earlier description of the longer LVZ article is really generous in how much coverage he receives. The only sentences that even obliquely mention him are:

    His Royal Highness Oskar Prince of Prussia himself paid a visit to the establishment of his order on Tuesday afternoon as part of a tour through Central Germany.
    And the acoustic and visual image that presents itself to him on the very royal, slow approach through Liebermannstrasse is a very special one: the samba group “Como vento” (Portuguese for “like the wind”) stands up in a multi-row formation the meadow opposite the facility and welcomes the Hohenzollern Prince with rhythms that defied the unusual cool July.
    Under the direction of Janek Rochner-Günther, responsible for street work in Altenburg-Nord and facility manager, the percussion enthusiasts carry both the prince and his companion with them. His Royal Highness has to record a reminder video with his smartphone.

I guess it all depends how you define "significant coverage". There are the two articles mentioned above about the subject's connection with the Order of St John, the oldest chivalric order in Europe. There is also this article about his media career.[1]. The subject belongs to an ancient dynastic family and holds an historic office. I don't think these are "trivial details".

      The article notes from Google Translate: "As for products such as Huawei's VR Glass, more of them occupy the market of light VR users who mainly watch movies. However, considering that the price of Huawei’s first-generation VR glasses is as high as 2,999 yuan (Oculus quest 2 is priced at $299), the second-generation VR glasses are likely to be sold at a price higher than this price, which is 2,000 yuan at home and abroad. Among price-priced all-in-one headsets, Huawei VR Glass is not outstanding in terms of cost performance. That is to say, but from the product level, Huawei is now holding votes in the VR industry at best. Even compared with domestic hardware manufacturers such as PICO, its market share is still at a disadvantage."

      The review notes from Google Translate: "Thanks to the split design, HUAWEI VR Glass gets rid of the battery and processor, and bid farewell to the heavy and inconvenient impression of traditional VR headsets. The weight of 166g will not feel tired even if worn for a long time. The breakthrough innovation in the optical display has greatly reduced the volume of the fuselage, and combined with the folding storage, the VR glasses can also be carried with you."

      The article notes from Google Translate: "Compared with the previous generation of VR products, Huawei's VR Glass 6DoF game set adopts a new and upgraded 6DoF positioning interaction method. The resources cover a variety of boutique mobile VR games and thousands of PC VR games on the Steam platform, bringing an immersive gaming experience and realistic Visual screen. At the same time, the weight of only 188g is no burden to wear, and it also allows users to enjoy the fun of the virtual world in reality."

      The article notes: "The overall structure of HUAWEI VR Glass is very simple, with a VR glasses body, a handle, and a special connection for mobile phones. It can be perfectly integrated with popular models such as P40 series, P30 series, Mate 30 series, Mate 20 series, Mate XS, Mate X, etc. It only needs a simple connection to bring users into the world of VR. As mentioned earlier, because the entire field of view is covered by a huge screen, this experience can truly be called "immersion"."

      The article notes: "Huawei released a new virtual reality glasses called Huawei VR Glass on the 26th. This is also the company's third-generation VR glasses launched in 2016 and 2017. The appearance of the new generation of VR glasses is similar to sunglasses. Not only is the frame thinner, but the weight is also very light, only 166 grams. In addition, the lens on the glasses is equipped with two independent Fast LCD screens, which can provide up to 3K resolution images. And can support dynamic rendering technology to improve the screen image and reduce dizziness. Users can also adjust the wearing degree of AR glasses according to their own myopia degree."

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

This article concerns a tiny political party, for which the only sources given are outlets directly affiliated with the party and two personal blogs. Searching for additional information, I was only able to find the party's official website, a facebook page with around 4,200 followers, a twitter account with 1497 followers, a student newspaper article from 2016 and a few mentions of the wikipedia article itself. Other than that, nothing.

It appears that the overwhelming majority of attention to this party comes from the wikipedia article itself rather than any actions taken by the party, with the page receiving an average of 2330 monthly pageviews in the past year

In light of all of this, I do not believe this meets notability guidelines.

  • Weak Keep For a small Communist/Hoxhaist party, its article is better sourced than those of similar organizations. I count five not affiliated with the party itself: [22][23][24][25][26]. EDIT: revising vote based on Unrequestedsillything's observations below. I failed to consider the APL's membership with the ICMLPO, which further establishes notability.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 01:12, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Of the five pieces you linked, a potential case for notability can made with the first article, which is a full length interview conducted by Evrensel Daily. This coverage is undoubtedly independent and significant, but reliability is harder to assess. The English language site does not give information on editorial standards (or even give the name of the interviewer(s)!), and as I can not read Turkish, I can't determine if this information is available on its parent site either. That said, if this wiki article is to be believed (I can't assess the reliability of the Turkish language source this table is based on), Evrensel's circulation within Turkey is substantial: Over 2% that of Turkey's largest daily newspaper, which is very impressive for a Marxist-Leninist newspaper in a country with negligible Marxist-Leninist political popularity or influence. If reliability can be established, it makes a solid case against deletion. However, the other four pieces linked definitely cannot be used to describe the American Party of Labor as notable. The Worker's World article (2nd link) does not offer significant coverage, listing it in a single sentence alongside several other groups as being involved in a small street protest (for which I could find no other news coverage). 'Fight Back! News' (3rd link) is an online newspaper, but I can find no mention of any editorial policies on the site, nor anything else to assess the reliability of its coverage. Either way, its coverage of the American Party of Labor is not significant, consisting of a one-sentence mention of the group as one of three groups that organized a counter-protest which, like the protest described in the Worker's World article, is apparently not reported on by any other sources. The Spanish-language source (4th link) is a translation of [this article] published by the American Party of Labor itself while the 'New Jersey Anti-War Agenda' (5th link) is a personal blog. Thereppy (talk) 22:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I was incorrect about the fourth source, but it appears even though it was originally published by the APL, it was subsequently translated and republished by a third party. So I believe my original point still stands: it is better sourced than other Wikipedia pages for smaller communist parties. At least one strong source with some weaker sources, along with their membership with the ICMLPO that Unrequestedsillything mentioned below, establishes notability IMO.--C.J.

  • Delete. The keep !voters are making questionable non-policy based arguments. You can't just say "For a small Communist/Hoxhaist party, its article is better sourced than those of similar organizations."; that's blatantly WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. None of the sources CJ Griffin mentioned satisfy WP:SIRS. The first is an interview with one of the members by a fellow traveller; comprised mostly of the interview itself. This doesn't qualify as "completely independent" nor is it a secondary source. The second and third sources are single-sentence mentions. The fourth and fifth sources are fucking blogspot pages. It's shocking Visigoth500 accuses the nom of "frivolous" behaviour when the !voters here are ignoring policy to push what is essentially socialist fancruft/spam onto this encyclopedia.
Unrequestedsillything's argument is laughable. It's just a rehashing of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, that this article has "more sources" and should be kept. They ignore the garbage quality of said sources and then goes onto say that this organization inherits notability because it's a part of the larger organization. WP:NORG very explicitly says in WP:INHERITORG that organizations do not inherit notability from being part of or affiliated with a larger organization. Then the other two !votes are just "per nom" trash. I can see why this was relisted twice; the "keep" arguments are meme-tier and Thereppy is right. This party is non-notable.
I would ask the closing admin here to do what we always do for non-notable organizations whose fans show up to !vote keep while disregarding our notability policies. Close as "delete", because AfD is WP:NOTAVOTE. This tankie stalinist fanclub of an Albanian dictator is non-notable and should be treated as such, regardless of the stature of the people !voting keep.

    A random Blogger/blogspot blog is not a reliable source. It's ludicrous that people are saying that it is. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources lists 21 different discussions in which editors have said that blogspot is generally unreliable as a WP:Self published source. Deeming it reliable here would be equivalent to just ignoring pretty much the endless discussions among editors for years that no, blogspot sources are not reliable and cannot be used to establish notability. It's illogical and flies in the face of WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.
    And yes, I'm calling this political party a fanclub. On a fundamental level, political parties are fan clubs of ideologies and ideologues. If we treat this entity like any other fan club (which we judge by quality sourcing regardless of how much turnout their fans provide) rather than discussing its political importance in the realm of communist parties, it becomes clear what needs to be done with this page.

The daily Targum article clearly fits the criteria of " significant coverage in a reliable secondary source that is independent of the subject. "

In regard specifically to the daily Targum article; Significant: The entire article is about an event organized and operated by the American Party of Labor and its student wing. It is clearly significant coverage.

Reliable: The daily Targum has won the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's Gold Crown Award multiple times, it established a separate publishing company to ensure independent coverage from Rutgers. It also has its own wikipedia page. If ever a student newspaper is reliable it is now.

Secondary: While there are brief snippets and direct quotes from members, the author reports on the protest as well as giving additional context with regards to the Dakota Access pipeline in general as well as other protests regarding the pipeline. This is a secondary source with regards to the Party

Independent: The daily Targum has no association with the American party of labor nor does the author as far as I can tell. There is no reason to believe this journalism isn't independent of the American Party of Labor.AxderWraith Crimson (talk) 03:02, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You and Visigoth500 keep saying that the "All Marxist-Leninist Union" is the APL's "student wing", yet I'm not really seeing a source on that. It's not mentioned in any of the links you've posted and Binging for "All Marxist-Leninist Union rutgers" provides nothing. Even if it is true, it's not relevant since WP:INHERITORG says that entities do not "inherit" notability if a sub-entity or parent entity is notable. Even if the AMLU is notable due to coverage in that article (which I doubt it is), that does not mean that the APL is notable.

  • Comment Spf121188, Not asking for any favors. I thought that articles stand or fall on their own merit, not on what comments are made here. Interesting that Chess' "fucking blogspots," "Tankie fanclub," saving "our encyclopedia" from "socialist fancruft/spam," and "If it makes you feel better I'm going to go around and nominate other non notable communist parties for deletion" gets a pass; but calling them out for vulgarity, snark, and unprofessionalism elicits your disapproval. Visigoth500 (talk) 16:58, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply Visigoth500, My disapproval carries zero weight. Chess took the time to analyze every source provided, and gave a very well worded argument in regards to the articles merits, and created a table for everyone to easily understand. I understand that this is a passion-filled topic, but Chess' comments notwithstanding, they at least took the time and effort to make an argument based on merit. Spf121188 (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Visigoth500: I spend much time PRODing and AfDing or rejecting at AfC other kinds of fancruft, like miscellaneous student clubs, dream SMP micronations, or most recently non notable subparts of universities. Generally within a certain topic there's often quite a lot of accumulation of articles of questionable notability as time goes on and nobody notices. This seems to be what is happening here. Fans of a topic come on and create articles that don't have good sourcing on non notable topics. When something is fancruft, it's fancruft. That seems to be what's happened with communist parties. What's shocking to me is that I didn't see how it's possible to honestly see blogspot blogs as reliable sources. It's the prototypical example of a self published source.
Since you were raised the question about "selective enforcement" given that there are other communist parties in existence that are less notable and still have articles, I've gone ahead and answered by nominating others for deletion.

Thanks Spf121188. Wasn't aware of that policy. I guess what I mean is that having a page on this topic, even if only a stub, means that people looking for information on left parties will find something of use, and future editors can build on it if it becomes more notable, and the sources, while not particularly strong, are mostly reliable for reporting on niche left topics, so I am not convinced of a need to purge the article. BobFromBrockley (talk) 16:57, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Bobfrombrockley, I can understand that viewpoint, and that's a well-reasoned argument. IMO, a re-direct like you mentioned above may actually make it easier for people looking for information, especially being all in one place. An admin or closer will determine if the article stands, whether or not the nomination was made in good faith. Spf121188 (talk) 17:10, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Bobfrombrockley said: "...and the sources, while not particularly strong, are mostly reliable for reporting on niche left topics..." A google books search found some sources that mention the party and its newspaper/blog: [28] [29] [30]. These seem reliable enough. I'll leave it to other editors as to whether or not these should be incorporated into the article.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 17:33, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
None of those sources satisfy WP:ORGDEPTH. In fact, ORGDEPTH explicitly says that "quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources" aren't WP:SIGCOV. The first two hyperlinked sources are just quotes from the Red Phoenix. The third source is a list of communist parties in America. ORGDEPTH explicitly says that "inclusion in lists of similar organizations" does not satisfy the significant coverage requirements.

First off its an orphan article, so its already a bad sign. Secondly, apart from hanging a banner saying "RESIST" near the White House along with other 6 activists, Nancy doesn't have any other notable event, as evidence of that, all of the references (except the ones regarding the banner) are either from her Linkedln profile, local newspapers and organizations and a episode from a small podcast.

About the banner, there's 6 references from 5 different newspapers, the only significant being the Los Angeles Times, and all the 6 news reports just briefly mention her name. Additionally the occurrence that brought her some media attention doesn't even have its own article. SadAttorney613 (talk) 01:02, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw / Keep per sources found to support notability. COI issue has been resolved. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:53, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alexbrn, that is an incorrect assertion. The guidelines state: "so long as no one has yet responded to your comment, it's accepted and common practice that you may continue to edit your remarks for a short while to correct mistakes." There was an edit made to increase clarification and prevent misinterpretation of the comment, as no one had commented on it yet. With regards to the sources, it has been marked for deletion by another user for a reason; I could not confirm whether the sources were both independent and reliable to the subject and contained SIGCOV. In some cases, low-level organizations with no media presence tend to have press releases published in academic journals and subscription databases as articles. I am skeptical that just these three academic articles are the subject's only indication of notability, as notable organizations that meet WP:GNG and WP:NORG tend to have multiple articles in mass media outlets, of which there is no presence in the media, from what I saw - in addition to mentions on academic journals. That is just my opinion, as all users are subject to their own opinion, respectfully. Multi7001 (talk) 20:25, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Whatever problems the current article has, this looks like a viable topic with decent (if difficult-to-find/get) secondary sources available, e.g.
  • A Dictionary of Sociology (OUP)[32]
  • RS published accounts from the (ex-) president.[33]
  • Historial overview from 1976.[34]
Alexbrn (talk) 10:38, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Alexbrn, here is an example of what I was referring to: [35]. Sometimes, academic publications tend to mask subtle mentions or entire articles in their print/online publications as genuine coverage, but it is actually PR paid for by the subject. Sometimes disclosed, and other times not; similar to editorial newsrooms and companies wanting intricate PR. As you can see, the publisher is the University of California Press, and this one, compared to others that don't follow this process, discloses the following: "University of California Press on behalf of the Society for the Study of Social Problems." Organizations that do this are usually the ones with no media presence and a lack of notability, but with direct access to editorial tools within the academic publications. Multi7001 (talk) 20:38, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
What has that source got to do with this article? You said there were "no reliable sources"[36] But now they've emerged, such as this, then that statement is incorrect. Will you respond to new evidence or double down? There are more sources of course (did you look?) Alexbrn (talk) 20:50, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Sourcing such articles is always difficult, as anyone who tried knows: even the Modern Language Association suffers from a dearth of secondary sourcing, but there is no denying that within its area it's the most important organization there is. Anyway, it seems to me that Alexbrn has done enough to prove this outfit deserves an article, though the article has a clear COI origin (and I'm going to block Tomhoodster, who did not participate in the COIN discussion and hasn't responded to messages, from editing the article) and needs some hard work.

      • @Drmies: thanks for the suggestion, but I've barely even had time to look at my watchlist recently. The existence of sources is the criterion by which articles are judged at AfD per WP:NEXIST, and actually fixing an article is much harder than just assessing whether or not an article subject meets notability criteria. There's a place for SODOIT but it's not relevant to my !vote. But if the issue is actually that you doubt that I saw sources then please do say so and I'll be happy to go back and find them, I just thought plastering this AfD with more sources wasn't really relevant after several have been supplied above. But I'll add this article to my mental list of pages to come back to, and please feel free to follow up any time at my talk page. - Astrophobe (talk) 01:05, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
