- Delete - no evidence of notability, fails GNG and seemingly the old NFOOTBALL as well. GiantSnowman 21:16, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - Fails SPORTBASIC due to lack of SIGCOV. –dlthewave ☎ 12:03, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - meets WP:NFOOTBALL policy which states that for notability, a player must "Have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure." Sources show Abdallah played for Levadia, which is professional and competes in the national level competition in Estonia. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 02:49, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- Delete as he played in what was not a fully professional organization. Whether even if he had played in a fully professional organization he would meet inclusion criteria is a seperate issue that we do not have to answer because he did not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:48, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Estonian top league, Meistriliiga actually is fully professional, from 2 years ago. [1] . Most of its payers would also meet GNG from the coverage. This player aswell, if you'd search for it. Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:23, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

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.

- 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)
- 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)
- Delete Does not meet WP:NACTOR or WP:NWRITER or WP:ANYBIO. I couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources. Of the sources cited in the article, most are not WP:RS and none of the few that might be reliable have significant coverage of Kakhorov. WP:TOOSOON. Schazjmd (talk) 14:51, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

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)

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.

Draftify, too soon for a franchise article as only one film released. See WP:FILMSERIES which recommends at least three films before a film series article created. Seems article will be good in few years but not now Indagate (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Entertainment-related deletion discussions. Indagate (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep I feel like this is a unique circumstance because three of the sequels have already begun filming (2, 3, and 4), two of the sequels have existing articles (2 and 3), and there is a large Other media section on the franchise page. Not to mention the significant notability and attention received by the first film, which has led to intense public interest in the franchise's development. InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:28, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: I agree with InfiniteNexus; these are special circumstances that would allow us to have this article even if the guidance says it’s too soon. Schwede66 18:03, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - While the nominations argument of WP:FILMSERIES is technically correct, I agree with InfinteNexus' argument in this case. The franchise already consists of multiple other non-film entries (the theatrical production, comics, theme parks, etc.) that are also covered here, so a franchise page would still be appropriate even before the release of the remaining sequel films. Rorshacma (talk) 18:14, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- Note: Talk:Avatar (2009 film) has been notified of this discussion. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:29, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep because we have multiple standalone articles of films that have been produced and are in post-production. I think it's better to read WP:FILMSERIES as "at least three films that have standalone articles" with the presence of articles meaning that the films are notable (having been released or at least having entered production with sufficient general coverage about that). A good example would be A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, where there is a sequel film and a spin-off film planned, but we don't actually know if these will happen (especially with the spin-off changing directors), so a film-series article would be premature with two confirmed films.

*Delete (as nominator) Artem.G (talk) 06:25, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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*. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:30, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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) 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)- 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)
- 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)
- 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. NGS Shakin' All Over 21:57, 15 April 2022 (UTC) - Keep per above discussion. JoyStick101 (talk) 05:36, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

- 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)
- 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.

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?

significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject

- urdupoint poetry - A site that allows users to submit their own poetry for posting.
- poemhunter - A site that allows anyone with an account to upload their own poetry
- poetrysoup - Another site that allows users to upload and submit their own poetry
- allpoetry - Describes itself as an "online poetry writing group". Again a site that allows users to upload their own poetry.
- 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)

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)

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

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.

- Keep Charted on one of Billboard's charts. DonaldD23 talk to me 16:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- From WP:NSONG: "Has been ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. (Note again that this indicates only that a song may be notable, not that it is notable.)" Aside from the obvious "may be notable" point, I'd also like to emphasise the use of plural "charts", implying a want for multiple. This song only appeared on one chart (Hot Country Songs) and (in my opinion) didn't even have a very impressive chart run, only lasting for six weeks and peaking at a position that no longer exists on the chart (Peaked at #59, chart only has 50 positions per WP). Unless there is missing chart data then that is definitely not enough for me, and even still more chart data wouldn't make up for the lack of coverage elsewhere.

- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Keep Meets WP:NSONG per above arguments. SBKSPP (talk) 00:21, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)

- 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)

- 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)

However a simple GBooks search shows that there are a significant number of other Boris Yakimovs that people may be searching for who are equally (non) notable.

- Keep. Article does need referencing improvement, but (a) the Canadian Football League is a top-level professional league which does constitute a valid notability claim, and (b) he was on the Grey Cup winning roster in 1983, which is an even more important reason why we should be keeping something. Note as well that a guy who was playing 40 years ago is not going to be readily sourceable to Google hits, and will have to have his referencing retrieved from archives like ProQuest or Newspapers.com — and indeed, I get 94 hits in ProQuest's Canadian Newsstream collection (which is even more impressive considering that in the early 1980s it basically only archives The Globe and Mail alone, with other newspapers starting to show up only later in the decade) and over 700 hits in Newspapers.com (which is where you have to go to find early 1980s coverage from most of the newspapers that start showing up in ProQuest five or ten years later), which means the coverage most certainly is there to improve it with.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
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. Yngvadottir (talk) 08:35, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- 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 video interview with OK magazine of her via youtube (should be ok as it's from a notable source, posted from their account) [6]. She ran track in high school, competed in an event in Ireland, [7]. She also gave an interveiw in Medium, which isn't as reliable a source, but can at least be used to confirm the athletics claim [8]. Oaktree b (talk) 13:49, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Per AndyTheGrump. Also given that Maxim does pay-for-coverage I wouldn't consider it an RS, and the Forbes article appears to have been through the Forbes Council program, which also involves publishing for a fee. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:14, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment The Forbes source is useless for notability. Firstly, it's not actually about her, just written by her. Secondly, it was published under the "Forbes Business Council" fee-for-publication scheme. Per WP:FORBESCON we consider them self-published works. AusLondonder (talk) 18:11, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

- 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. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:05, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- OK, the magazine was more of an article than a review, but I did find a review from the Dove Foundation and added that. So two articles and one review. Both of the articles are local-ish coverage. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 17:46, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)

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.

- What this needs are independent sources that write about him, not sources that he wrote himself. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:15, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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..."

- The first four words of the Wikipedia article about Xlibris show that it is unreliable, in that it performs no fact-checking.

It is nothing more than one person's web site.[10] Phil Bridger (talk) 13:28, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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..."

- If the subject was really a representative of the House of Hapsburg, rather than a normal US citizen just getting on with his life, and was a link to the past, then surely there would be some reliable sources, such as books, that have coverage of him? Please tell us about such sources, without which there is no way this article can be kept. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:08, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

Same issue as in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Archduke Sigismund of Austria (born 1966) (the son of this article's subject): 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 entirely genealogical, see WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Nothing in the article suggests notability per WP:BIO, and a Google News search for his German title and name (Erzherzog Leopold Franz) reveals nothing. It's also worth noting that he has no article in the German-language Wikipedia. Sandstein 08:38, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- Retain this article needs to be improved, not deleted. Archduke Leopold Franz was head of his house, and was referred to as such in reference books on the topic.

- Delete consists purely of genealogical/family information sourced to a directory of European royal families (WP:NOT#DIR) and a website which doesn't look like a reliable source. It's also at least a little dubious for the article to refer to him as "Archduke Leopold Franz of Austria" since it admits that Austria hasn't recognised any such thing for over a hundred years. Hut 8.5 16:44, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

- Being deceased doesn't mean he no longer represents the House of Hapsburg. Look at all the deceased individuals who have biographies on Wikipedia, and represent the institutions that they were once part of. This is reminiscent of the difference between nationality and ethnicity. Nationality represents the current citizenship of an individual. Ethnicity represents their biological and historical descent for as far back as it's traceable, and down to the present. Both are of interest and relevant to their contemporary descendants. Look at all the google references from the public asking "Are there any current descendants of the Hapsburgs ?" or " Is the House of Hapsbburg extinct ?" There is quite a bit of public interest in the current state of the House. Windemere2 (talk) 21:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not a genealogical database, not even for descendants of defunct royal families. If it is not possible to write an encyclopedic biography of someone, then there shouldn't be a Wikipedia article about them, regardless of who googles what. -- JBL (talk) 22:42, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Unless perhaps it was so bad that it needed to be blown up, and I don't see that. It is a somewhat niche theoretical possibility related to an extremely important topic (dark matter); does that make it independently notable? Probably. Lithopsian (talk) 14:53, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

- 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.

- Delete Yeah, I think I'm there too. PianoDan (talk) 20:36, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment I really should have further explained myself, so thank you to PianoDan and XOReaster for their discussion. 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. LewriBaedi (talk) 02:23, 7 April 2022 (UTC)

- Comment Not directly about the point of keep or delete but one thing that maybe could help decide what to do would be to consider the possibility of creating an article like "List of dark matter candidates", there is a nice section on Dark matter#Composition and a nice template too Template:Dark matter but there are some missing candidates like some of those on List of particles#Dark matter candidates so there is still work to do which maybe would be easier to keep in a dedicated article. Since not all candidates are equally relevant those less prominent instead of having their on page could just be mentioned in the centralized article (or not at all if totally irrelevant which may be or not the case of GIMPs). There are some concept that have more or less this kind of pattern (Dark matter/Template:Dark matter/List of dark matter candidates) like State of matter/Template:States of matter/List of states of matter, Particle physics/Template:Particles/List of particles, neutrino/Template:Neutrino detectors/List of neutrino experiments, etc. Organized/tabulated jointly with some info on particles detectors (types, range, constraints on candidates, etc) it could offer a clearer view on the topic, keep tidy those articles that are really just stubs and help track advances, hopefully.

- The last two are primary sources and do not go towards WP:GNG, which the subject has to pass. The first one is significant coverage but not enough on its own. Alvaldi (talk) 15:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. WP:NSPORTS is clear on that all athletes must pass GNG. No significant coverage is found in the article itself and of the three sources provided by Lugnuts, two are primary sources that do not go towards GNG which requires multiple sources. Alvaldi (talk) 15:28, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep no WP:BEFORE has been done, on a two minute search, I've already found two decent sources and added them. Sure more exist, if people bothered to look- something I will continue to do when I have time, but which neither Ficaia or Alvaldi have given evidence of doing themselves.

- 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)
- @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. If you have better luck in finding significant sources then I am more than happy to change my !vote to keep. Alvaldi (talk) 15:59, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. There is enough RS to justify the page (passes WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC). However, to be fair, there isn't a lot: I searched via news databases Newsbank, ProQuest and the WikiLibrary (all wider and deeper than Google) as well as Google, and didn't find any new RSs.

People who cannot read articles properly and cannot perform BEFORE should not be raising cases at AfD. Btw, Joseph is absolutely right about non-English sources. NGS Shakin' All Over 13:12, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

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)- The question is: do those sources demonstrate notability.

- 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)

- 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. People have been sanctioned in the past for abusing AfD and you will end up at ANI yourself if you continue in this way. NGS Shakin' All Over 14:33, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Delete Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage.I was unable to find any and none is present in the article or has been presented here.

- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

- 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)

- Weak delete - An argument can be made that this subject passes GNG; in addition to coverage in multiple Autoweek articles, we also have a local Spectrum News outlet [24] and 33 Dreams of Indy [25] However both of these are to at least some extent interviews, so their independence is questionable; additionally, 33 Dreams of Indy appears to be a blog with no news structure published on the website, so really, only 2 sources, 1 of which is questionable. Contrary to the way the article is written, this subject's biggest accomplishment is making 2 starts in the 24 Hours of Daytona in the Pro-Am LMP3 class which in and of itself is not enough to pass WP:NMOTORSPORT, nor does this subject pass when also taking into account his part-time appearances in junior open-wheel formulae and lone ARCA Series start. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 21:53, 15 April 2022 (UTC)

She was considered to be big news during the time as a mega reality TV star, being featured in magazines, news articles, talk shows and most notably the reality shows she was known for. Her widespread attention is undeniable, and despite her move to other projects from the 2010s onwards, there still is a plethora of proof to illustrate her dominance in the TV scene during her time period.

- Comment Edwardx, given that this article has scarcely changed from the day it was reopened over a year ago, I do question as to why (if it needs a cleanup) it was allowed to be opened in the first place.

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").

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. Every single source is a trivial mention in an article about the founders; that means it fails WP:GNG as well. Keeping it around additionally risks WP:BLPVIO, as this is a magnet for conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden. AlexEng(TALK) 02:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

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)

- 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.

- Merge. To be fair, we do have a standalone article about the 2020 Cannes Film Festival, even though it never officially happened either — but Cannes is a long-established film festival which did release a slate of films that were allowed to brand themselves as official selections of Cannes, and it did stage an outdoor screening series of some of the program on the Croisette later in the year, so there's some real context for how that cancelled event could keep notability anyway. And also to be fair, this article was first created before the event was cancelled. But I'm not seeing a compelling reason why this one should be seen as independently notable enough to keep its own separate article permanently, especially since the overview article about the festival as a whole is a short and minimally sourced stub that could use some expansion anyway.

- (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:
- This is an article from Billboard about the show's second season, and is the only good quality third-party coverage I could find.
- 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".
- This is a press release announcing the show's host.
- 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.
- This is a press release that's more about Naomi Judd than about the show.
- Reality TV World does not appear to be an RS, as I see no credits for editors.
- Futon Critic is just reprinting a CMT press release.
- This is a listicle from The Boot that mostly quote-mines articles about some of the finalists.
- 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. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 02:23, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

- Keep Some of the coverage already dismissed is actually reasonable (e.g., the Billboard piece); Billboard covered it more than once ([29]) and there are other sources in addition ([30], [31], [32]). Chubbles (talk) 03:10, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
- @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)
- 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)
- @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.

- 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)

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 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
- 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).
