Article fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Simione001 (talk) 23:57, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spinifex&Sand, are you aware that the football SNG has been removed per community consensus and WP:NFOOTBALL now points to the general sports guideline which requires significant coverage? There is no presumed notability for football players who compete at a certain level. –dlthewave 03:10, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Estonia is listed at WP:NOTFPL so this would have failed the old WP:NFOOTBALL anyway... Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 17:25, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Was tagged as G11 and indicated to be cross wiki spam (cc @Kagansky:), and while I don't think it's promotional enough to be deleted via that route there's no claim to creative notability. His work does not seem significant enough roles wise to be notable. While I do not read Russian or Uzbek, the sources have RS challenges and do not appear to be in depth enough to meet GNG. Star Mississippi 22:57, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All information in the article is backed up by reliable sources like news sites, film databases, blogs etc. Morover, recent work of the persona in the article has been discussed widely on the web. The article keeps its notability. I request to double check before deletion. Please address the references section of the article to check the sources. More references have been inserted and the overall quality of the article has been updated. Thank you for your time and effort. This helped the article to be better than before. Film contributor (talk) 18:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please pay your attention: The author created an article about himself. The article contains practically no independent authoritative sources. One authoritative source is indicated, which provides a discussion about the series, and not about the subject. Article does not correspond to WP:NACTOR. The topic and subject of the article is not encyclopedically significant. None of these sources has detailed coverage of the subject. — Kagansky (talk) 21:22, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Two figures incidentally mentioned in the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible - the father of Jair and the son of Hiel of Bethel. Neither is really discussed in any commentary I'm familiar with. While concordances/Bible dictionaries/etc will include entries here, there's really nothing they can say except repeat the passing mentions and the name meanings. There's probably a list somewhere this can go to, but I don't see any support for a stand-alone article. Hog Farm Talk 21:03, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot see significant coverage of this writer and radio producer. Current sources are:

  • Internet Magazine for Voice-overs & Radio Commercial Producers - passing mention, "Mark Magrs has been appointed as new Head of Production at Century Radio".
  • Article in local paper, The Shields Gazette, dead link.
  • Publisher's page for book, dead link.
  • Times Educational Supplement article to which the wiki article says Magrs contributed, dead link.
  • Profile on New Writing North - he won a Northern Promise Award, but I don't think this makes him notable.

I've carried out WP:BEFORE and not found anything to add, though I have updated the New Writing North link. Tacyarg (talk) 20:32, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for all the usual obvious reasons - we are a global encyclopaedia, not an Anglosphere one alone, &c. - but would accept a Redirect to a relevant list (if there is one) as an alternative. RobinCarmody (talk) 20:48, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is probably going to end in delete unless someone can find something out about his wider career. He played for Old Wykehamists against Old Etonians in one of the his three first-class matches, but the earliest proper register of Winchester that I can access starts in the 1830s, so that's no help. He appears to have played a match for Old Etonians as well, so I checked the Eton School List but he doesn't seem to appear in that, so he probably was a Winchester man. There are no notes on any of the scorecards about him, and his final first-class match was in a decidedly lower-quality side and only scrapped into fc status because of Ward's double century - it really has no business as a fc match at all.
All of which is not particularly helpful. I can't find anything obviously notable about him elsewhere straight off the bat, so it may well be that he's not awfully notable - but then chaps who were with MCC and who went to Winchester or similar schools do have a habit of turning up somewhere or other. I just can't find him just now - the chap who was a fellow at Magdalan, Oxford is a century too early.
I'll keep looking, and other might also, so I wouldn't suggest an overly hasty close here.
The nomination itself here worries me slightly however - when he played doesn't matter really. The fact that the matches he played in were a little iffy might matter a little more. The fact that he didn't play for the sorts of teams that generally we'd be looking for to suggest notability matters a little more again. The fact that we don't appear to have much in the way of sourcing and little right not to meet GNG matters much more. It's perhaps a shame that the nomination doesn't say *that*.

  • Having said all that ^, there's an obvious redirect target, so Redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825) (see below) under the usual WP:PRESERVE etc... This will allow anyone to get back the minimal details on the page if required and is a cheap alternative to deletion. @RobinCarmody: in case you want to consider that. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of English cricketers (1787–1825) Finding sourcing on this subject may be difficult due to the era the subject played in, however BST tends to be quite good at finding sources on players from this era, and if he is struggling it is likely there's probably not a lot on him. There's a couple of other cricket editors who may well be able to help and do a bit of digging, but if nothing can be found redirect is a suitable alternative to deletion. Keep StickyWicket has found suitable sourcing which I now believe shows enough for a GNG pass. If we can find out which is the correct spelling it may also help find further sourcing. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:48, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per Alumni Oxoniensis, he appears to have had a long and quite notable association in a religious and teaching capacity with the University of Oxford. Should be plenty of room to expand this guy, I will put him on my to-do list (once I've finished some essay writing). Because a player played some games years ago also isn't a valid reason to delete. I've struck the nominators 'delete' vote as the nomination counts as one vote, no need to add another. StickyWicket (talk) 14:51, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, good job - his name being spelled without the e in AO foxed me for a bit and I wonder how much else there is without it. I'm happy to keep on this basis - the source is here if anyone wants a look - look for the name without the e. Given that there's a memorial in the church at Hornchurch also without the e I'd think that a page move is probably appropriate as well. Blue Square Thing (talk) 18:00, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per recent findings and move to Daniel Stacy if that is the majority spelling. With the large number of bad nominations we have had lately, especially of footballers, I must also take issue with this one because he played 3 games some time ago, no sources say he's notable because of something else is, apart from anything else, incomprehensible.

Autobiographical article about a person who fails WP:GNG. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, WP:AB doesn't completely prohibit creation of autobiographical articles, and all the information provided is properly cited, even links to the books that have been published are given, you can read the books yourself, my poetry has been published on many websites, like urdupoint.com which is independent and I have no control over. I recommend the article should be kept, and if there are any neutrality or POV problems, they should be resolved, deleting the article, after all, is something not proper, I think. Sinner (speak) 21:45, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Many of my poems, single or in groups, have also been published on these independent websites none of which have still been cited and used in the article.

Article also present at Urdu Wikipedia.Sinner (speak) 19:19, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article exists on the Urdu Wikipedia because you just created it! Did you think no-one would notice? How does you writing a Wikipedia article (which is a direct translation of this one, with all the same sourcing problems) about yourself on another project demonstrate that you are notable? How does it demonstrate that you pass WP:GNG or any of the criteria of WP:NPOET? How does this represent significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject - It is neither reliable or independent. Quite frankly your attempts at promoting yourself here are becoming disruptive. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. No evidence of significant coverage of the article subject in secondary reliable sources. AndyTheGrump (talk) 04:10, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Little more than spam. None of the references here demonstrate that this person is notable. Going through each site in turn:
    1. urdupoint poetry - A site that allows users to submit their own poetry for posting.
    2. poemhunter - A site that allows anyone with an account to upload their own poetry
    3. poetrysoup - Another site that allows users to upload and submit their own poetry
    4. allpoetry - Describes itself as an "online poetry writing group". Again a site that allows users to upload their own poetry.
    5. The three books are compilations of poems written by the article subject.
None of the references here demonstrate any kind of coverage of this person at all, let alone significant, independent coverage in reliable sources. Everything here has been written by the article subject and are little more than compilation of his work. I didn't go through all the sources above. but they seem to be more of the same thing. The first site appears to be a content aggregator that scrapes content from all over the web (including, it seems reddit), hamariweb is another site that lets users email their poetry in for posting and a download link for an eBook obviously does not show notability. 192.76.8.70 (talk) 10:52, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not meet WP:GNG guidelines.

The sources listed here are almost all trivial pulications. Half of them in the article are primary (YouTube, Kickstarter, etc.), while the rest of them are unreliable or unkown. I initally thought that the Huffington Post UK source listed there had decent covarage, but it was just trivial coverage again. The only Forbes source in the article is by a contributor, and notability can't be established there as per WP:FORBESCON. The only citation there that seemed to be reliable and have signifcant covarge is the Wall Street Journal source from 2007, which unfortunately requires a subscription.

There just seems to be no source in the article that is a verified, established publication with significant coverage. I tired looking for some media works and notability about this person, but yet again, all of it was trivial mentions from non-notable websites. Even though the subject is extremely popular on YouTube, this doesn't guarantee an article creation when the media doesn't make it notable elsewhere.

I think the best choice would be to draftify this for now. It could be WP:TOOSOON, and be worked on outside the mainspace. There could be some potential, significant coverage soon, but at the moment I can't find any of the sort. Sparkltalk 23:58, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete for lack of notability. Mccapra (talk) 23:04, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:HEY. I have significantly edited the page, adding numerous RSs. Contributors please note that unsupported comments such as "lack of notability", without any supporting reasoning are not helpful to the decision making process here. Relevantly, SPORTCRIT is effectively WP:GNG; and WP:SPORTSPERSON states: A sportsperson is presumed to be notable if the person has won a significant honor and so is likely to have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject. Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to meet the GNG. A rudimentary Google search produced numerous RSs; and more were easily found using WikiLibrary. Absence of citations is not a reason to delete: it's a reason to improve the page. Please be mindful of WP:ATD. Cabrils (talk) 00:52, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Per a source review, the subject meets WP:BASIC. Also, per WP:NEXIST, notability is not based upon the state of sourcing in articles. North America1000 07:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Only one source is actually talking about the subject, and it's only for approximately a sentence-and-a-half. That could easily be merged into the album's article (although that doesn't look much better). Nothing else here proves notability. Made a PROD for this that was removed, similar PROD for Shame About That was also removed but that article was converted to a redirect to the album, I would support that move here as well. QuietHere (talk) 15:35, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, charted single on Billboard, received media attention both before and after the fact for being the debut of a notable performer. The sources in the article pass WP:SIGCOV. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 23:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, agree with @Donaldd23: It has charted on Billboard and you're are forgetting the critique from No Depression. That is a credible source from credible journalist. Like I said with Sara's other singles, this song exemplifies her early career persona as a traditionally-minded country vocalist. The reader needs examples of notable songs that further explain this to better understand her career. It also one of Evans's self-penned tracks. This is an important descriptor to her as an artist indicating that she has several skill sets adding to her credibility as an artist. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 00:21, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The No Depression review doesn't specifically mention this song by name though. The "(such as 'True Lies')" excerpt in the WP article is built on an assumption that that is one of the songs being referred to, and that's gotta be a solid example of WP:OR. If the source isn't literally talking about this song, you can't just apply what it's saying as you please. And again, it charted on one chart and didn't even peak in the top 50 there. That argument is flying in the face of WP policy. QuietHere (talk) 00:33, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • As of now the consensus appears to not be in your favor. Your opinion is not the only one being inputted here. I will keep looking for information in the mean time to further prove the point this article makes. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 00:37, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • This kind of back-and-forth discussion about sources is normal and is how information about the article is brought to light. AFD is not a contest where one "side" wins. Stick to the policies and the facts and the disposition of the article should become clear. Lamona (talk) 01:19, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • And I found another article explaining why Evans believed this song did not chart higher on the Billboard chart. This source is from Country Standard Time, a reputable country music site written by journalists and writers. I added this to article. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 00:50, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Footnote: I've posed a query about this song's chart run at WT:SONGS, hoping to clear up my own apparent confusion at some of the policy in question. I'd prefer to see a consensus established there before this closes, if that's allowed, as it may have a significant effect on this AFD's outcome. Thank you for your patience. QuietHere (talk) 05:56, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete WP:NSONGS is clear that charting alone is not enough to meet notability criteria. None of the sources discuss the song at length, and that is what is required for notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:12, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:NSONG per above arguments. SBKSPP (talk) 00:21, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Sara Evans - The highest chart position this song reached was 59. The #1 source here does not mention this particular song, and really should be removed. The article says that the song got positive reviews, but only one is cited, and the Country Standard Time article talks about how disappointing the sales were for the album, and states: "The first single, "True Lies," released in March 1997, only reached 59, while a third single, the more uptempo "Shame About That," did slightly worse." This does make it seem that the song was not successful. So far I haven't found in depth RS about this song. Lamona (talk) 01:39, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This association football player does not satisfy either general notability or the now-deleted association football notability guideline. There is only one reference, which does not provide independent significant coverage. He has not played in the first tier of the Brazilian football system, although that no longer matters.

Non-notable state branch of a notable federal party. The party achieved no electoral success, with its only notable performances being in races with no major-party opposition. Most other coverage revolves wholly around federal campaigns related to the federal party exclusively. Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV.

  • Would like to see an ATD of Merge per Nom. If that does not find consensus then I will side with Delete. One only has to look at the 11 year membership, a peak of 4,616, to be skeptical. A somewhat novel idea might be to merge to the National affiliate, the Alliance Party (United States). The Start-class article mentions this affiliate, American Party of South Carolina, Independence Party of Minnesota, and Independent Party of Connecticut. It would be considered the parent article ( yet some want Wikipedia to grow beyond all wildest dreams, --or-- some just love creating new articles or turning red links blue, but it sometimes seems preferential to create an unassessed, stub, or start-class article instead of building a single far improved article. It might be of interest to find that the Modern Whig Party merged with the American Moderates Party and the American Party of South Carolina forming the Alliance Party. This is not mentioned in the Modern Whig Party article just that it ceased activities and became a think tank. My point is that sometimes fragmented articles would be better merged that would be a net positive for Wikipedia and certainly for readers' navigation. -- Otr500 (talk) 03:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep My online searched found a few things, and notably, the article has her first and surname reversed! I added them in, and while I'm not good at ascertaining what is a reliable source in Ugandan and chess press, it seems like the following articles indicate notability.
  1. https://kawowo.com/2017/01/09/i-was-the-best-in-2016-says-christine-namaganda/
  2. https://www.ntv.co.ug/ug/news/sports/women-s-day-chess-christine-namaganda-wins-inaugural-tournament-3741656
If there is something about these sources that I don't know that indicates they are not reliable, please tell me and I'll be open minded to adjust my opinion, but based on what I see, she is notable. I would urge anyone trying to assess this themselves to also search for her with her correct name Christine Namaganda not Namaganda Christine. CT55555 (talk) 17:24, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The Kawowo Sports source above is WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS. It does contain a brief interview, however, there is more than sufficient WP:INDEPTH material outside the interview. The NTV article is insignificant coverage. A book by Tim Crothers (translated at least into German and Italian) contains more SIGCOV: The Queen of Katwe: One Girl's Triumphant Path to Becoming a Chess Champion (2012). Together sufficient for the WP:GNG. It's very well possible that there are more great sources. I went for the low hanging fruit. gidonb (talk) 12:19, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing for this article is mostly blogs and promotional pieces. I found many of the claims were not fully supported (for example, the list of brands she had modelled for, and her birth date, which did not appear in the archived version of the cited source, which was dated later than that cited). The article turned out to be heavily reliant on Thrive Global, which is blacklisted, apparently for being a churnalism vehicle with no editorial oversight. That source may be found archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20201203112748/https:// /stories/inside-influence-one-on-one-with-louisa-warwick/ (insert t_____g_____.com in the space between slashes). Performing a search for additional references today, I was able to add an approximate birth year from a fluff article in UK Metro—like the New York Post, which the article previously cited for her filing a lawsuit, this is a low-quality tabloid—and I found an aggregate "Who is ...?" article that I used to reference some more details and reduce the reliance on Thrive Global ... but that's Time Bulletin, which is also blacklisted. That reference is https:// /who-is-louisa-warwick/ (insert t___b_______.com in the space between slashes). These are not quality sources, I cannot even discuss them on Wikipedia without limbo dancing under a blacklist barrier as if they are going to infect everyone's comp with malware, and they are the only extended informational articles about Louisa Warwick that appear to exist. The lack of reliable coverage indicates to me that she has not achieved notability since the previous article, Louisa Warwick (model), was deleted in October 2015.

  • Mild Keep She's got an article she wrote in Forbes [2] and a mention in the New York Times [3], I think she just makes it for notability. She's featured in Maxim and mentioned by TMZ, which are reliable sources; I can't open Maxim at work, for obvious reasons, will review later for notability. Also find an interview from a local paper in 2009, can help build notability, about her going into modelling. [4]. A reliable mention in Digital Spy about her leaving the Top Model show [5].

  • I've done some cleanup and left notes on the article talk page about the sourcing and reasons for removal of some of the sourcing and content. Offhand there are only two usable sources, one is a local article about the film's premiere and the other is a review. It's not really enough to justify a keep on my end, but I'm hoping to find more coverage when I search. There's mention of awards, but most film awards aren't considered to be major enough to give notability on Wikipedia, so I'll consider those not major unless I see coverage for them while I search.

  • Weak delete. This only has three usable sources to establish notability. Two of these fall within the bounds of local coverage, one is a review. It would be a keep if I had one more good source, preferably a review, but there's just not anything out there beyond what I found. If someone can find another good source I'm open to changing my mind. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:49, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An essentially unsourced article about an ordinary person who apparently has an article because he holds a long-extinct (indeed, by now fictitious) title of nobility. Such titles do not confer notability, see WP:MONARCH. The contents of the article are almost entirely genealogical, see WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Nothing in the article suggests notability per WP:BIO, and a Google News search for his German name reveals nothing. It's also worth noting that he has no article in the German-language Wikipedia.

He also authored Human Factors: Evaluation of Headlight Switching Systems (1974). He also has several technical papers on automobile safety and comfort published on SAE Technical Papers series.

    Apparently you did not understand the question, so let me ask it again. You asserted that, as a published author, he is notable. There are tens of thousands of published authors who are not notable, and about whom articles do not and never will exist. The guideline WP:NAUTHOR to which I linked gives four criteria that someone could pass to achieve notability as an author. I asked you to identify which of those criteria he meets. Observe that answering this question requires evidence, not repetition of your feelings about members of the House of Hapsburg. (For example: if two of the books he wrote were each the subject of multiple book reviews in the automotive press, that would be evidence that he might pass point 3. And if you were to produce evidence that such reviews existed, I would seriously consider changing my !vote.) JBL (talk) 20:58, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Stefan Habsburg is mentioned in the book "Of Firebirds and Moonmen" by Norman James, 2007. The book is for sale on Amazon and can be accessed on Amazon by googling 'Of Firebirds and Moonmen'. The book apparently deals with the design and development of the Firebird automobile. There are several reviews of the book on Amazon.
    The book is also reviewed on the automotive design website 'Dean's Garage'. That review can be accessed by googling 'Stefan Habsburg Dean's Garage' or 'Of Firebirds and Moonmen Part One'. Here's an excerpt from the book that is reprinted in that review: "... the studio was set up with two designers, Stefan Habsburg, a graduate of MIT who's specialty was mechanical and system design..." Windemere2 (talk) 11:27, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    When you continue reading down through that lengthy excerpt, he's mentioned multiple more times. Windemere2 (talk) 11:52, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    But that book is not a reliable source, because it is self-published via Xlibris.[9] Phil Bridger (talk) 15:36, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Xlibris has an article on Wikipedia, that doesn't mention anything about it being considered an unreliable source for published information. If it's an unreliable source for published information, why isn't that stated on its Wikipedia article ? It would seem to be relevant and important information. Windemere2 (talk) 11:32, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Are book-reviews that appear on the Amazon site considered reliable sources ? Is Dean's Garage, a well-respected automotive website, a reliable source ? Are all books published by Xlibris automatically considered unreliable sources of information ? Windemere2 (talk) 11:38, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The first four words of the Wikipedia article about Xlibris show that it is unreliable, in that it performs no fact-checking. And, in answer to your other questions, Amazon reviews are also user-generated, so unreliable, and are you really saying that Dean's Garage is a reliable source? It is nothing more than one person's web site.[10] Phil Bridger (talk) 13:28, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The book is also reviewed on the Barnes and Noble site. In the Overview, it states "The design of the Firebird III is the heart of the book and is its reason for existing. AS the last surviving member of the four principals in its design (Harley Earl, Bob McClean, and Stefan Habsburg being the others), the author feels obligated to assure that the story behind those closed studio doors is told....Of Firebirds and Moonmen is heavily documented with photographs, illustrations and graphics, which were prepared at General Motors as proposal and contract deliverables..." This Overview can be accessed by googling ' Barnes and Noble Overview Of Firebirds and Moonmen'
    Are all user-generated sites considered unreliable sources ? The book also has a review on Goodreads, and a multitude of other user-generated book-review sites. Windemere2 (talk) 15:21, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    It doesn't really matter whether the Barnes and Noble overview is reliable or not, because it only gives the subject the barest of bare mentions in a list in parentheses without saying anything about him other than that he was one of this team.

  • Keep per Lithopsian bascially. The first reference doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2010.06.012 uses GIMP and is not by Kleinert. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 14:58, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I thought I'd agree with Lithopsian and Headbomb, but the more I dig into this, the less sure I am. The paper that Headbomb mentions has only been cited 15 times in twelve years, mostly as a passing mention, and I'm not finding any secondary coverage at all. For example: "Many other theories have been proposed to account for the Universe’s dark matter, most of which are not as promising as those already discussed. These include Q-balls, WIMPzillas, branons, and GIMPs [55–57]."[1] None of the recent surveys of dark matter candidates I looked at mention them. I don't think the case for this article is open-and-shut. PianoDan (talk) 16:18, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That's the situation I'm finding myself in; there's not nearly as much out there as I had first guessed there would be. Moreover, at least a few of the instances of the term "gravitationally interacting massive particle" appear to be about distinct concepts, i.e., not Kleinert's singularities. I don't think the Kaluza–Klein particles of the source Headbomb provided or those in the proposal of Cho and Kim are what Kleinert hypothesized. So far, the instances of the term "gravitationally interacting massive particle" not by Kleinert have just meant "a massive particle that interacts only by gravity", as opposed to weakly interacting massive particles, which interact via gravity and some other force. So, at the moment, I'm not seeing a good "keep" case here. XOR'easter (talk) 17:09, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The first GS hit [11] also uses the term in a generic sense, rather than being an independent source taking notice of Kleinert's specific idea. "Purely gravitational dark matter" [12] is a synonym for the more general meaning that may be somewhat more common. XOR'easter (talk) 18:28, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I included "GIMP" in my searches because just using the words "gravitationally interacting massive particles" produced too many unrelated terms, but the results I got appeared to be widespread and significant. I've just been scanning abstracts, maybe I need to read deeper. Is the article too narrowly focused on a type of GIMP favoured by Keinert that is different from other definitions of GIMPs? Lithopsian (talk) 14:00, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The article text is narrowly focused on Kleinert's proposal, which is different from others and which seems to have had not much influence at all. XOR'easter (talk) 18:10, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete OK, this is where I've ended up. Excluding all the false positives — the appearances in papers that use the same phrase to mean something else — there just isn't enough to merit an article about Kleinert's proposal specifically. Revising the page to reflect the actual ways the term has been used would amount to blowing it up and starting over again, and it's not clear that the topic of "hypothetical dark-matter particles that only interact gravitationally" needs to be under this title, or even have a whole page unto itself.

If we look at the sources: source 1 introduces a hypothetical particle which it calls Gravitationally-interacting massive particles, however it does not match the rest of the discussion of this article in terms of properties/composition or "implications"; source 2 is a conflict of interest, as well as unreliable - being "published" in a journal that does not disclose its supposed peer-review system and is clearly not a well regarded given its citescore and SJR values - and is not well regarded given it has only been cited 3 times in "published" works (again, none of which are reliable sources) according to InspireHEP; Sources 3-6 are fluff for the background section, irrelevant to the article, except reference 5 which is cited again in a completely nonsensical claim that constitutes original research; reference 7 then falls again under conflict of interest/original research as another Kleinert work, and I personally can't even verify its claims as it is not accessible; finally reference 8 is irrelevant fluff and serves no purpose except masking the inadequacies of this article (WP:MASK). So in summary, if this article is kept as is, then it is unreliable as only one or two sources are relevant to the main points of the article, and they are unreliable sources suffering a conflict of interest. If the article was to instead be blown up, then it would become a general article about any hypothetical particle that interacts only gravitationally, however that would likely still fall under notability issues due to there being very little literature on this topic, and certainly none that are well cited. I see no reason to allow this article to stay in its current condition, and I see little reason to blow it up for a rewrite about something so unnotable.

  • Question Does anyone know if one or more Australian newspapers have a freely accessible newspaper archive? Most newspaper articles from around 2009 don't show up on Google searches. I imagine that there would be some content about her in archived newspapers from the time. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Joseph2302 To clarify, I did do a search and came up with the same three sources as Lugnuts. The Daily Telepraph article that is a significant source, the Waverley Hockey Club article that is a primary source and the Victorian Institute of Sport article that is also a primary source. I also found a bunch of brief mentions such as [13][14][15] that are not significant coverage.

I'd say yes, as there's enough coverage of this chap to easily pass WP:GNG. A few more sources [20], [21], [22], and that's just from a basic Google search. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@No Great Shaker: Well, feel free to improve the article if you can. It seems the only way to get these endless sports stubs improved is to AfD them. But I don't see anything in those news articles worth incorporating. Ficaia (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well firstly the purpose of AFD is not cleanup, contrary to what you're saying. But I don't see anything in those news articles worth incorporating if you think there's literally nothing to add to a two line stub from 8 sources about him, you're wrong, there's lots of content about him. You're openly using AFD for an incorrect purpose/to prove a point, stop this. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:31, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The question is: do those sources demonstrate notability. And I don't think they do, as the coverage in them is trivial. Ficaia (talk) 13:41, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As an example, [23] is an article of about 7,000 characters dedicated solely to him. How is that not significant coverage? Joseph2302 (talk) 14:05, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
But what is the substance of those 7,000 characters. Do they indicate he is a notable archer? To me, the articles read like nationalistic hype bloated with a bunch of trivia. However, if someone else comes along who disagrees with me, I'll close as keep. Ficaia (talk) 14:09, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ficaia. There are three people here who disagree with you so, as with Bradman Ediriweera yesterday, perhaps you had better close as keep. Notability is signified by multiple independent sources and here we have eight. I suggest you stay away from AfD as you demonstrably do not understand how it works and, by insisting that AfD is a means of getting articles cleaned up or expanded, you are breaching the spirit of the facility, especially as you are apparently incapable of doing BEFORE properly.

  • Keep Many appearances over 15 years in one of the top leagues in the world. Gosh, I've even watched him play for Atlante F.C. in a Champions League match against the Montreal Impact. Completely ignores consensus - and big BEFORE failure, with (as noted above) significant coverage (these are first two I found in seconds in google), such as this and this. Nfitz (talk) 23:36, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Although I !voted to keep (see below), let's not exaggerate his career. Most of it was spent in the second level of Mexican football. He played in the Primera with Altante, but was not a first team regular at the club. He did appear in the 2008–09 CONCACAF Champions League for Atlante, but I don't think it's fair to say many Mexican clubs took the competition seriously (at least until after the group stage) as they typically fielded fringe or youth players in the earlier stages. Jogurney (talk) 16:23, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah - I'd incorrectly assumed Leon was in the top division - still 10 appearances for Atlante in Liga MX, plus the 4 Champions League group-stage appearances. Yeah, they often didn't field the entire A-team for those old group-stage matches. Nfitz (talk) 00:59, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Article about former professional footballer who played in Mexico's top division, and appears to be the subject of SIGCOV. I've added a few references to the article (primarily from El Sol de León and El Imparcial de Oaxaca) which I think get the article past WP:GNG. There are several more online non-trivial sources as well, which can be added when someone has time. Jogurney (talk) 16:16, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Getty has also found her worthy of notice, e.g. 1, 2, 3, due to her TFI Friday role and Penthouse modeling. She was the cover model when Penthouse made an editorial shift, per Getty and the Independent (1997, also noting she "stars in TFI Friday"). The Telegraph (2003) also discusses her role on TFI Friday. Beccaynr (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. This organization is only mentioned in connection with its famous founders, Hunter Biden and Christopher Heinz, from whom it cannot inherit notability per WP:NORG.

  • Delete The topic is an organization/company therefore WP:NCORP applies. The "notability" of this firm appears to stem from the link with Hunter Biden but there's nothing to show that this company is notable for any other reason. There are no in-depth references that discuss the company, only passing references with a mention here and there of a transaction. That fails our criteria for establishing notability.

Notability in question. Google search mostly turns out a libel case between an Iloilo mayor and the editor and a columnist from the newspaper like this one. Although the incident is probably notable in Iloilo, its notability isn't inheritable. Google news archive only shows snippets that mentions that someone was working in said newspaper. Google Books have scant mentions like this book mentioning it just once in a list.

  • Comment: inaccessible sources are not a problem in principle, but some independent sources are certainly required. The 1992 article by Fakuade is independent (and seems rather critical of Igbinéwéká, or at least of Guosa). The Nigerian "National Institute for Cultural Orientation" piece and the Daily Trust articles are no longer accessible, so I can't judge those. There do seem to be more independent sources out there, criticizing or otherwise discussing the language. EG:
    • Iteogu, Odizuru, 2019. "The Role of Nigerian Translators in Promoting Nationhood and National Consciousness." KIU Journal of Social Sciences, 5. PDF
I can't access these in my local library, but maybe you can:
  • Attah, Mark. 1987 March. "The National Language Problem in Nigeria." Canadian Journal of African Studies. doi:10.1080/00083968.1987.10803838
  • Elugbe, Ben Ohi. 2009. "National language and national development." In L. Moshi and A. Ojó, Language Pedagogy and Language Use in Africa. ISBN 9781906704612
There is also at least passing mention here:
  • Akinnaso, F. Niyi. 1991. "Toward the development of a multilingual language policy in Nigeria." Applied Linguistics, 12: 29-61. doi:10.1093/applin/12.1.29
(from Akinnaso, p. 47: "It should be noted, however, that there are exceptions in each case. For example, there are northerners who would support English just as there are southerners who would support Hausa (Awonusi 1985; Newswatch, March 20, 1989, p. 15). Furthermore, there are exponents of pidgin English (see Goke-Pariola 1987), while there are yet others who would support an artificial language, such as Guosa (Igbineweka 1987).")

  • Comment: I think we all agree that notability is not a temperorary thing. Therefore: if something was notable five or ten years ago, it still is. The same goes for newspaper articles as well: if an article is not accessible online anymore, that doesn't mean it has been unpublished. BTW, the article in the Daily Trust hasn't vanished at all, it's just that the link had to be fixed, see here. From what I can see (mind, I'm not an expert on Nigerian matters), the Daily Trust is a serious and reputable newspaper in Nigeria. Apart from the article mentioned in the references section, it published a few more articles and videos about Guosa, too: see this and this. I also found this article, in which a presidential candidate expresses his support for Guosa. With regard to Gbenga Fakuade's article: I don't have access to it either, but the journal Language Problems and Language Planning is a reputable source and I'm sure this particular issue or article can be purchased; at least we have proof that it exists and what it is about. Based on all this, I think we can conclude that in terms of notability, Guosa is in a position similar to (or even better than) languages like Afrihili, Toki Pona or Kotava. —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 20:44, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No independent notability; fails WP:GNG. Jalen Folf (talk) 03:27, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vettuva Gounders are a distinct community in India. Also, I see no copyright claims as the complaint says that the content has since been removed. Seems prejudice. 117.219.195.124 (talk) 08:04, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The copyright violations in question did not directly relate to the existing content on the page, rather they were mostly very old revisions of attempts in what I believe was Malayalam that were copied directly from various websites, mostly Blogspot, which has already been proven unreliable as per WP:BLOGS.

The result was merge to Metro Manila Summer Film Festival. (non-admin closure) ASTIG️🙃 (ICE-TICE CUBE) 03:30, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2020 Metro Manila Summer Film Festival (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

The planned annual film festival was supposed to be in early 2020 but COVID-19 pandemic cancelled that year's event that did not hold completely and suggesting to merge it to Metro Manila Summer Film Festival. ApprenticeWiki work 03:08, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, WP:NTEMP applies, cancellation does not mean that the supposed 2020 edition isn't notable, which reached a stage where the entry films were already made known to the public. However the film festival has yet to hold a successful inaugural edition. Merge without any prejudice of turning the cancelled 2020 edition back into a standalone article once an inaugural edition is successfully held.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 03:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I think it would be suffice to just say it in the article that it was cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic. Either way, it has sufficient references and sources of material such as list of films and other details which can provide useful knowledge and data to the reader. It does not violate any Wiki rules. At some time too, consistency of entries would be needed. It would just be a tad bit different than other MMFF editions with lesser categories and sections. --Likhasik (talk) 03:57, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can You Duet (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)

I'm self-deprodding for a broader look at the sourcing here. In the article's current state, all but one of the sources is from CMT, the network that aired the show. My attempts to dig deeper for sources were met with very little:

  1. This is an article from Billboard about the show's second season, and is the only good quality third-party coverage I could find.
  2. This Billboard article also mentions the show, but only dedicates about a paragraph or so about it in the greater context of "music based reality shows".
  3. This is a press release announcing the show's host.
  4. This is an article from Music Row which documents the Season 2 winner Steel Magnolia signing a record contract. However, it's more about the duo itself and only mentions the show in passing.
  5. This is a press release that's more about Naomi Judd than about the show.
  6. Reality TV World does not appear to be an RS, as I see no credits for editors.
  7. Futon Critic is just reprinting a CMT press release.
  8. This is a listicle from The Boot that mostly quote-mines articles about some of the finalists.
  9. This is a reprint of a People article stating that one of the hosts later married one of the contestants.

Everything else I found was just articles about people who were on the show, such as this article on Joey + Rory that mentions their placing third as just one of the many footnotes in their easily WP:NMUSIC-passing career.

Google News doesn't turn up any results whatsoever for "Can You Duet" + "Lance Smith". I even checked The Tennesseean on Newspapers.com and got nothing but TV listings and reprints of press releases. The fact that not even the Nashville newspaper gave a rat's ass about a country music TV show indicates that it just wasn't worth writing about.

In short, it seems that coverage of the show is nowhere to be seen; even if several of the acts it produced happened to be notable, WP:NOTINHERITED is in play. If anything, artists like Joey + Rory and Steel Magnolia seem to pass WP:NMUSIC in spite of their being finalists on the show.

  • Keep There were several fairly notable acts to come from the show and it ran for 2 seasons on the prominent TV station, so I don't see why it wouldn't be notable enough to keep. Maybe it needs a few more sources added, but deletion? Nah. CloversMallRat (talk) 14:11, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is Variety reporting on the show being renewed considered sufficient coverage? It seems pretty routine/press-release-y to me. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 17:42, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Marginal, but Variety probably pushes it over the edge – my general view is: if it makes it into Variety or THR (or even Deadline), then it is likely notable enough to cover in Wikipedia. I would certainly add Sammi Brie's references to the article. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:44, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll note here that TelevisionWeek was a publication of comparable notability in its time (I recently revived its Wikipedia article after PROD in 2015; the Internet Archive has almost every issue in its 27-year run). Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 18:08, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the current article relies way too much on Primary sources. But adding in Sammi Brie's sources, with maybe a few that TenPoundHammer lists above (esp. #2), and it probably just barely clears WP:GNG. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:51, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Chubbles: I think only the American Songwriter coverage is valid. Idolator doesn't seem to be a reliable source, and either way, it's just an arbitrary ranking on a listicle. The Hollywood Reporter source is just a reprint of a press release. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 03:12, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I guess our mileages vary as to the level of skepticism we need to have about the journalistic integrity of the trade papers here. Regardless, WP:CORP is not the standard of notability for this article, and the amount now uncovered collectively clears anything I'd expect from a GNG challenge. Chubbles (talk) 03:18, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Chubbles: Press releases are still primary sources and not a factor of notability. And I still see no reason to believe that "Idolator" is a reputable source, especially because they admit to a "partnership deal" which means that all of their content is promotional in nature and therefore also a primary source. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 05:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Idolator's contact page says that they advertise and actively court advertising partnerships, which most websites (and newspapers and magazines) do. That in itself doesn't indicate they are a promotion-only website. I do see that they don't have a description of an editorial team that states much in the way of journalistic independence, and a casual look through their album reviews does reveal to me that they are pretty relentlessly positive about everything they cover. I'm willing to grant it may not be a terribly valuable source; however, losing it doesn't make or break the GNG case here. Chubbles (talk) 11:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Further analysis needed on the sources provided by Chubbles and Sammi Brie

  • Comment: @TenPoundHammer: Just a courtesy notice, but it's generally not appropriate for someone involved to relist an afd as their decision could be biased by their participation. In this case you're the nominator, so you relisting is a little curious and could be seen as a way to avoid a "keep" outcome, but still it's typical to let another uninvolved editor make that decision. You also forgot to comment out the afd on the original dated discussion page, so I have done that. Bungle (talkcontribs) 20:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I relisted because I wanted to see further analysis of the sources brought up, and in ten days, no one has seen fit to say anything either way. If this closes as keep, then I don't mind. I just don't want it to close as "no consensus" because everyone just clammed up. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 05:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    My point is, as the nominator, that is not for you to decide whether it is relisted or closed. This is true for any editor who !votes or contributes to the discussion but more-so if the editor initiated it. I am not saying a relist is inappropriate (I would have relisted it) but it should be done by someone who isn't involved, because a relist could be seen as a way, in some scenarios, to avoid a particular outcome (especially as both !votes so far are contrary to your own position).
