Another grain elevator by the tracks, and there is also a very old school building, but no town. And according to Origins of North Dakota Place Names, that was always the case: the station was built and got a post office, and a town was platted, but nothing ever came of it.

- Comment. From that source referenced in nom, it sounds like a potential redirect/merge could happen, though I don't know what the right target is. There's value in covering the history of the railroads in the United States in a variety of different ways, and a list of verifiable defunct stops that had infrastructure is a nice idea, perhaps broken out by state or line. —siroχo 22:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:V / WP:GEOLAND given the lack of any reliable sources to verify the subject's existence. There isn't any point in a merge, the article just says that the subject is an unincorporated community which we don't think is true. Hut 8.5 07:47, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

Arbitrary and unsupported selection criteria. To quote Lone wolf attack: "The term lone actor or lone wolf is not a legal term or a social science concept. It is an ill-defined and academically contested construct, manufactured by the media and by radical political actors." Groupthink (talk) 20:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Terrorism and Lists. Groupthink (talk) 20:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Very tough call. A couple quick search demonstrate that this very clearly meets WP:NLIST as despite the lack of an academic consensus, various reliable media discusses the subject as a group extremely often, often giving multiple examples. But the inclusion criteria seems too subjective right now. We'll clearly need to remove all unreferenced entries. But, given the concerns the nomination brought up, I do not think a single reference for each would suffice -- we'd need to see a few reliable sources describing an attack as such before adding it. Given the complexity of the underlying issue and the risk of DUE weight issues in the list, I think it's in violation of NPOV to keep this list in it's current state, so I'll say weak delete. I'm not sure at this time what a sufficient cleanup would look like, but there's a hypothetical version of this list that could be kept. —siroχo 00:42, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- The only hypothetical version I can think of would be, like you pointed out, "List of terrorist attacks the media calls 'lone wolf'", which would be granular to a silly degree. Groupthink (talk) 02:00, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep While I have no disrespect to the Anti-Defamation League or any of it's contributors, the statement the nominator seems to be pulling from the lone wolf attack article seems to be from a weekly ADL opinion(?) piece from over 20 years ago, so I'm not sure that "Lone wolf" can be declared as this completely meaningless term simply from that (and in fact, it's use in the Lone Wolf Attack article seems to be conferring a bit more 'objectivity' to that quote that it should actually have). Other, somewhat more academic takes on the subject as found here seem to be well defined and certainly not "manufactured by the media or a radical political actor". Obviously there may be some discourse regarding what qualifies as "direct leadership" or "direct outside command", but I feel that that is rather weak grounds to delete an otherwise 'fine' list which serves a good and unique purpose. Essentially, I both do not find the concept to be "ill defined" enough to warrant deletion, and I also do not feel that deletion is warranted to an otherwise useful list simply because some users or editors may disagree with the placement / omission of a couple given cases. A MINOTAUR (talk) 03:40, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Meaningless term? No. But is it an "unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources" term? Also no. However it is a term used to excuse and whitewash certain types of terrorism, such as Christian terrorism, that the western world is uncomfortable with. Groupthink (talk) 03:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I... do not quite agree with you here. I appreciate what you are saying - and I agree that it is best to not excuse/"whitewash" any forms of terrorism, but I don't seem to understand how this list does either of those things. This list existing does not stop a list called "List of terrorist attacks motivated by Christian beliefs" from existing (something else might, I'm not sure, but this list won't, and in fact Category:Christian terrorism in the United States already seems to partially serve this function). So your reason for deletion seems to be one more of personal conviction and passion about the subject matter rather than the actual guidelines and merits of article preservation/deletion. A MINOTAUR (talk) 03:56, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I have no personal conviction or passion about the subject matter per se. My concerns are about POV pushing and loaded language. "Lone wolf terrorist attack" is a concept which is so flawed as to be untenable. Terrorist attacks cannot and do not happen in a vacuum. Terrorism is explicitly tied to politics and/or ideology by definition. Even setting that aside, what could an objective, non-arbitrary, verifiable gatekeeping principle be for deciding what is or is not a "lone wolf" attack? Groupthink (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- AfD is not really the place to engage in a philosophical debate, so I will only again point to the DOJ PDF which itself outlines (in my view) a perfectly fine, reasonable, and objective (enough) definition for the term "Lone wolf" in the context of "lone wolf terrorist attack". Is there some degree of subjectivity? Of course, the definition is in many way a guideline, just as we editors follow guidelines to determine what articles get kept. Simply because there is potential for disagreement in the term does not de-legitimize any use of it.
- At risk of crowding the discussion this will likely be my last reply, though again I feel that your personal opposition to the term (or even the idea of such a term) is perhaps biasing your position here. The Lone wolf attack article is itself rather flawed (and largely created by one user, apparently a criminology student), though as we are not here for that article discussion regarding it is somewhat lost here. I do appreciate the discussion. A MINOTAUR (talk) 04:36, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- I appreciate the discussion as well. We all have our biases: I hate big lists and I cannot lie. But I'll have to agree to disagree with you that my [[Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists#Selection criteria|selection criteria]] concerns constitute a bias, or at least an unfair bias as I feel you're implying.

- Addendum:Attached are several other references which include definitions of and 'credible discussion' of "lone wolf" attacks, from sources such as the Hauge, the European Comission, and various academic sources. I do not think it's our place as Wikipedians to try to "overrule" these organizations by making our own conclusions regarding the validity of the term, or simply out of Wikipedia:IDONTLIKEIT - adjacent perspectives. It is a clearly used term by a vast number of governments, academic institutions, and NGOs across the world. [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] A MINOTAUR (talk) 16:58, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - The article needs a lede that clearly defines lone wolf. Such a definition is not difficult to find in recent literature, and the emphasis on disagreements over the term appear to be WP:UNDUE. Otherwise, the list is relevant and encyclopedic (or as encylopaedic as a List can be, but I gave up on that battle years back). The nomination does feel very much within WP:IDONTLIKEIT, especially with a red-flag, patently untrue assertion that the term was
manufactured by the media and by radical political actors
. The use of the term to describe a person who commits a crime or nefarious act alone, not as part of a group, community or other affinity, dates to Tillotson in 1909. It saw significant use in the sixties (in US and AUS especially if I recall correctly) to describe those who abandoned non-violent groups to take direct action, usually in the form of a terrorist attack. Cheers Last1in (talk) 17:59, 23 August 2023 (UTC)- As stated above, "manufactured by the media and by radical political actors" is not my language, it's language from the Lone wolf attack article. Groupthink (talk) 18:35, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per others, but mostly on WP:N which I believe this list covers. I think the nom's rationale is on-point about media hyping a word that usually describes a "social outcast" rather academic sources that describe terrorists who act alone.

WP:BLP of a diplomat and civil servant, not properly referenced as passing notability criteria. As always, neither diplomats nor civil servants are "inherently" notable just because they exist -- for both roles, notability hinges on showing a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage about their work in media and/or books, to demonstrate that their work has made them the subject of significant third-party attention to establish its significance. But the referencing here is entirely to content self-published by his own employers and other directly affiliated organizations, with not a shred of GNG-worthy media coverage shown at all.

- There's a complexity here because "foreign minister" is used differently across different countries. In parliamentary systems a "Minister" or "Deputy Minister" is a member of a national/state parliament (so automatically satisfying NPOL); in presidential systems the equivalent is an appointed position. In both cases, Ministers would normally be members of cabinet, membership of which would satisfy NPOL. However, there are some countries where not all ministries are cabinet level and certainly deputy ministers do not automatically hold cabinet-level positions. In the case of Turkey, the Foreign Minister is a Presidential appointment and there are at present four deputy foreign ministers. Three of the deputy foreign ministers are career foreign service professionals (ie civil servants) and one appears to be an AKP apparatchik. Given this, I would not consider a Turkish deputy foreign minister presumptively notable under NPOL. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 01:07, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to Big Bear Lake, California. This paper dates back to 1941, and is clearly the newspaper of record for the city. IAR, I do not like deleting such articles, since we are likely to cite them in coverage of topics relating to the city. That said, I really struggled to find sources. There is a paragraph on the newspaper's name and basic details in this book on newspaper names, but that's not quite WP:SIGCOV. There is coverage of ownership change here, but it only mentions the newspaper once as part of a group, so that doesn't count either. This 1978 article (continued here) talks about someone being allegedly fired because of the newspaper's reporting, but there's nothing we'd use it for in the article per WP:NOTNEWS, so it seems like it'd be cheating a bit to try to use it for notability. There is almost surely significant coverage in Big Bear: Bearly Remembered, a 319-page history of the city, but I haven't been able to access it (offline sources count, if they can be proved to exist). The best bet for saving this would be to get access to that book, and to hope it leads to a second source somewhere.Taking stock of all that, what we have is a topic that's notable in the generic, non-jargon sense, but where the sourcing doesn't quite add up to Wikipedia notability — yet, from what we can access online. The paper also clearly deserves coverage in the city's article (not mentioned there currently, but it's standard practice to cover news organizations in city articles; also keep in mind that, with a population of 5,000 people, the due bar is not high). These factors make it very ripe for merging as an ATD. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 18:28, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

I have removed the 13-year-old tags. Wikipedia in general is like a site-wide litter path of such tagged articles that were improved, but nobody removed the old out-of-date tags.

- Redirect to the St. Hugh College article. Not notable without the context of the school. Oaktree b (talk) 20:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- It is suggested that this article should not be deleted for the following reasons:
- 1. SHBC alumni include American Olympic rower Anders Weiss who has his own Wikipedia page.
- 2. It is extremely common for Oxford college boat clubs to have their own Wikipedia page at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Rowing_Clubs
- 3. It is suggested that all Oxford college boat clubs should be included to make Wikipedia more comprehensive.
- 4. Members of SHBC compete in the world-famous Oxford vs Cambridge boat race with a television audience of ~6 million. See for example the 1982 race at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boat_Race_1982 where Boris Rankov represented St Hugh's with a record-breaking fifth race, later recognised by Guinness World Records. Oxonwiki (talk) 11:35, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Point 1 doesn't mean we should have an article for the club, per WP:NOTINHERITED. Point 2 is just WP:OSE. Point 3 doesn't comply with the need for them to be notable, articles should only be created if notable. Point 4 is again WP:NOTINHERITED. Joseph2302 (talk) 11:44, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Please re-read the article on St Hugh's Boat Club. I have added more information regarding the Club's history and the awards it has won.
- Most notable change is the fact that St Hugh's Women First VIII were the first and only women's crew to successfully bump a men's crew (magdalen m4) during the 1975 Summer Eights. This event significantly contributed to the creation of Women divisions for all subsequent Summer Eights (1976 onwards) and Torpids (1978 onwards).
- Additionally, the St Hugh's Women's Eight also won the College Div B in the first ever Henley Women's Regatta in 1988, another notable achievement by the club. Whyartlife (talk) 17:47, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- I will note here that there is still no significant coverage of the club. The bulk of the references added are either for alumni (WP:NOTINHERITED) or published by St Hugh's. As there is no WP:SNG for rowing this article has to meet WP:GNG, which requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (my emphasis). I'm still not seeing that. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 17:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Before I address your points, may I disclose that I am not a paid editor and am not being paid to edit the St Hugh's article. I do however am connected to the Boat Club as I am a member of the club and have participated/represented the club in recent events. As a result, I am trying to show how our club has a rich and notable history, especially regarding women's rowing at Oxford.
- Regarding your point about significant coverage in reliable sources which are independent of the subject - The Times has mentioned St Hugh's Boat Club multiple times during their coverage of the Eights Week, most notably during the years 1975, 1982-84. You can find reference to this at this website: http://eodg.atm.ox.ac.uk/user/dudhia/rowing/bumps/e1982/ which is an archive of all Summer Eights and Torpids Bump charts reconstructed by Anu Dudhia, who has stated that majority of the information for the years 1900-1995 came from " the bumps charts printed in The Times newspapers". This is referenced on the Bump Index website here: http://eodg.atm.ox.ac.uk/user/dudhia/rowing/bumps/.
- Additionally, the St Hugh's Boat Club also produced the Women's crew which won at the first Henley Women's regatta in 1988 in the College Eights Division B. This can be proven by looking at the HWR results archive website: https://hwr.org.uk/results-archive/
- I hope this is sufficient information proving why the Boatclub has notable history, seeing as there is proof showing that St Hugh's Boat Club women have been rowing even before women's rowing was introduced to the Olympics in 1976. This can be seen here: http://eodg.atm.ox.ac.uk/user/dudhia/rowing/bumps/e1975/ Whyartlife (talk) 08:38, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Your first point is the The Times has mentioned the club. If you will read our guidelines on significant coverage, you'll find that a mere mention is not enough: we need coverage on the club, not mentions. As for your other points, unfortunately these mean nothing since Wikipedia does not have a special notability guideline for rowing so we must use the general guideline, and we are still lacking that crucial significant coverage that would pass that. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 10:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- The Times has covered the club throughout multiple days as the Eights Week as proceeded. You can go on the site I cited previously and see for yourself. As per the notability guidelines, significant coverage doesn’t need the source covering the topic to be the main topic. The Times doesn’t target the club for its main coverage, that is true. The main coverage target is Eights Week/Torpids, but in doing so it does cover the Club and its performance during the events and how the club won Headship. Winning the Eights Week is a significant and notable achievement as Eights Week itself is a notable competition seeing as it has its own article on wikipedia. There is also coverage by the Daily Telegraph alongside the Times. Additionally, there is no original research being conducted to verify this, only a few google searches. As far as I can see, this should be meeting Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines. Whyartlife (talk) 08:43, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

- Hi @FieldOfWheat, the existence of other articles is generally seen as a poor arguement for both deleting or keeping an article. If you have concerns about the notability of other articles, then that should be voiced in discussions concerning those articles. All the best, Schminnte (talk • contribs) 16:20, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Seems you have an agenda. Every time someone puts an argument for keeping this page, up you pop to try and void it. I have no concerns whatsoever about the notability of other articles - if every other Oxford boat club (indeed every other Oxbridge boat club) is notable enough to deserve a page (as they all are), so does St Hugh's.
- Leave it alone, and don't question me about keeping this page, or I might ask you why you're so keen to delete it.

- Oppose: I agree that secondary sources about the actual encyclopedia are not easily found (I have not encountered any). But secondary sources citing articles within the encyclopedia are easily found (any search on Google Books demonstrates this). Besides, the notability criteria for this should for WP:NB (which is "instructive by analogy"), and is therefore deemed a reliable source as a widely cited academic work. —Caorongjin 💬 18:33, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

It's that an article on this subject cannot be sustained, and I'm somewhat startled at hearing the article creator admit that there never were any valid secondary sources.

Appears to fail WP:PROF. The closest I can come is his being the "Henry Marsh Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Trinity College, Dublin" (1996-2010), except no one can find any reference to this "chair" being created, or to anyone who held it before Fitzgerald (which seems improbable anyway, since Henry Marsh (neurosurgeon) himself was only 46 in 1996), or since. See Talk:Michael_Fitzgerald_(psychiatrist)#Notable?. Pinging everyone who particiapted there: User:Tryptofish, User:ElKevbo, User:Tacyarg. EEng 21:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. EEng 21:07, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. The Marsh Professorship is at least verifiable through official TCD documents and not just Fitzgerald's own cv: the TCD Calendar 2007–2008 lists him as "Henry Marsh Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (1996)", where I think the year is the founding of the chair. Maybe it was named for Sir Henry Marsh, 1st Baronet? —David Eppstein (talk) 21:44, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry, I should have been clearer. I'm not questioning whether he held the position, but I am questioning whether the position truly qualifies as a "named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment". I mean, obviously it has a name, but the fact that it seems to have been a one-off (i.e. it seems to have been vacant since Fitzgerald gave it up) makes me wonder what's really going on. Interesting that you've found another candidate Henry Marsh (and this one Irish -- mine was English, and we're talking about Trinity Dublin) but the fact that neither you nor I nor anyone else seems to be able to figure out the origin of this "chair" is a further bad sign. EEng 23:15, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. It seems to me that a strict reading of WP:PROF kind of "forces" a keep on the basis of that named chair, but I'm not a big fan of technical reasons for notability when they seem at odds with common sense. (I don't think the history of the chair matters for our purposes, since being the inaugural Professor in that position is, arguably, a reason to find notability.) I'm having trouble seeing any other reasons to keep. I'm going to wait another day or so, before making up my mind about this AfD, but I feel it is useful for me to register these thoughts now. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:20, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Weak delete.I see this as a borderline case. On the plus side, we have clear sourcing that he has held a named chair professorship; it does not matter that there is little or no information on the creation of the chair, or that he was the first person to hold it, or that the chair has not been filled after he retired from it.But on the minus side, I looked at his publications at Google Scholar, and in particular I looked at the numbers of times his publications were cited by others. He has a couple of publications that got cited a few hundred times, but most of them have citations in the tens. Comparing that with other prominent academic psychiatrists, who have corresponding numbers in the hundreds to thousands, leads me to conclude that his work has had a modest impact in his field. That makes me come down, weakly, on the side of him not really passing WP:PROF.--Tryptofish (talk) 20:53, 30 August 2023 (UTC)- Well again, my point is that the lack of any trace of reference of any kind, anywhere, to this "chair", other than that Fitzgerald seems to have held the position for a period, makes me wonder whether it's indeed a distinguished professorship instead of a hopeful label that never got off the ground. Anyway, I do think "weak delete" is the right way of putting it. EEng 19:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC) P.S. Here [27] we learn that Fitzgerald was the first occupant, which to be honest makes it even weirder that there's no trace of any annoucement of where this chair comes from.
- Actually, the Trinity College calendars linked to by David also show the year the chair was established as being the same year that Fitzgerald was named to it. But your link in the PS part of your comment refers only to him claiming to be the first person in Ireland to be tenured as a Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, but that's not as the named chair. I think your insistence on it being a "hopeful label" is just a distraction from this AfD discussion, because there's nothing remarkable about a university position not being filled after someone steps down from it. That might just mean that the faculty search was unsuccessful, something that happens fairly often in academia. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Changed to keep. Other editors, below, have clearly demonstrated that I screwed up in my citation search. Woops. Therefore, his impact in his field is clearly demonstrated, and that makes for an unambiguous "keep". --Tryptofish (talk) 19:01, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- strong keep. I dont think the chair is reason enough to keep the article but a professor with 42 papers with 100+ citations and an h-index of 58 clearly passes the bar for WP:NPROF#1 - applying a much higher standard here than in other AfD discussions does not seem to make sense to me. --hroest 21:13, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm confused. I only saw a few papers with that many citations. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:39, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. Here are the Scopus metrics for 200+ of Fitzgerald's coauthors with 20+ papers (absent the ones from one consensus statement with a million authors):
Total citations: average: 17819, median: 8627, Fitzgerald: 6717.
Total papers: 242, 162, 198.
h-index: 57, 45, 40.

Should we have a list of games that were ported to every other modern port other than Nintendo Switch because of its limitations or other reasons?

Surely cancelled games can also be featured under the overall game list, but marked as cancelled rather than having a release date. Having a list solely for cancelled games feels like an airing of grievances from angered Switch owners. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- The list of Switch games has already been WP:SIZESPLIT five times over, and is already headed for more. I also wrote all the "notes", and it was not from a place of grievance, but from a place of fascination in the video game development process. There's no negatively there (if it comes off that way, please, anyone tweak it, that was not the intent.) Sergecross73 msg me 21:05, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well, there are lists on Wikipedia that are literally just single letters such as Index of Windows games so I still don't see the problem. If it merits it, the list of Switch games can be split along the same lines.
- I don't really see where the game development angle comes in though, because most of them have barely any insight into any special reason for cancellation besides "it was too hard" or "it wasn't profitable". 100% cancelled games often have interesting insight into "what could have been" but these are just ports of otherwise released games. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:01, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- You "don't see a problem" with SIZESPLITing 26 unsourced Windows games lists but do have a problem with splitting out one game list that entails sourced commentary for every entry? I'm struggling to follow your philosophy on lists here... Sergecross73 msg me 22:14, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm entirely befuddled by the notion that it's a problem that this list of cancelled games is limited to only games cancelled for budget issues and games cancelled for technical issues. Should there be games cancelled for political issues? Games cancelled for fun? The only third thing I could think of would be games moved from Switch to the next platform, but obviously, that's not something that could exist at the moment. Unless you're taking issue with the existence of all list of cancelled video games, I don't see what the issue is. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 22:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I was puzzled by that too. "Difficulties in programming" and "difficulties in budget" are some of the most relevant and important aspects in the gaming making industry. And it's a list, so it's not like it's the place to write up a full multi-paragraph detailed account of things. Sergecross73 msg me 22:30, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

- Strong delete per nom. Coverage listed in the article is WP:ROUTINE game summaries or pregame reports, or simple commentary on how the two schools have similar names. This fails GNG in terms of establishing a rivalry or notable series between the two schools who will have played each other four times after this week. Two football teams with zero sourced animosity toward each other who have similar names does not mean their series of meetings is notable. Carson Wentz (talk) 00:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep The "Confusion Bowl" name for this series was coined in 1945 and has been used for each and every meeting between the teams. The Miami-Miami game generates multiple dedicated articles from reliable sources every time it is played. This is not WP:ROUTINE coverage of football games; the articles are written specifically with regards to how abnormal the same-name matchup is. A named "bowl game" with dozens of reliable source articles written about it over 78 years is notable and passes WP:GNG regardless of the scant few times they have played or lack of "true rivalry". PK-WIKI (talk) 04:09, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per arguments above SUBWAYguy 13:22, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:GNG and comments above by User:Alvaldi and User:PK-WIKI. The article does not assert that the series is a "rivalry", and arguments against such a rivalry existing are thus a red herring. The bad feelings between the two Miami universities dates back to the founding of the Florida school in the 1920s (a century after the Ohio school), and I've added a bit of context on that. Cbl62 (talk) 13:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per arguments above, there is enough documented history surrounding the series for it to be notable. I also do not understand the arguments that a page about a series between two teams has to be some kind of nasty rivalry in order for it to merit an article. Jlm87 (talk) 16:15, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per arguments above and per WP:GNG. The Confusion Bowl has been documented in previous verifiable citations, it has been discussed as such in each meaning. I am also confused about the need for it to be a rivalry to count - this is not a requirement per WP:GNG. If this standard is applied to this article it will result in several other sports-related articles and meetings between groups to be reviewed and proposed for deletion. DesertVulture (talk) 05:44, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep notable series with with many reliable source articles that go beyond routine summaries. They explain the history between the two schools (concerning football and other topics) as well as the origins of the "Confusion Bowl" moniker. Frank Anchor 18:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep As the Confusion Bowl has been known in media since 1945, I feel that should be enough to keep the page up. OrlandoApollosFan69 (talk) 00:03, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep consistent news coverage of the name across several decades meets GNG. Furthermore, arguments on the extent of the rivalry and/or how much animosity/number of games played against each other are both subjective and irrelevant (no WP guideline specifies a minimum number of games). Even if its sole notability comes from being a mildly humorous coincidence in name, there is sufficient sourcing—including from outside the home markets of the two communities in question, which disqualifies the use of WP:ROUTINE to pooh-pooh them—to justify its inclusion here. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 21:17, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Keep All that matters is whether it passes GNG. Whether it can truly be called a "rivalry" is irrelevant. It has received significant coverage in numerous sources for a sustained period of time, and as such passes GNG. Smartyllama (talk) 11:57, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps others see it differently, but I get the impression that the sources about this actor/businessperson aren't actually independent reliable sources, but press releases / self-penned hagiographies pretending to be real articles. Take e.g. the first source[30], from the Times of India (or something similar), used to source his awards and nominations. All very high praise, but it seems to be impossible to find out for which series or films he actually did receive these awards for? His IMDb entry (given as an external link) is empty...

Redirect to Transformers: The Movie, which is what he is most known for. While I found these sources, they are fairly basic at best, and far below the standard of other more notable characters who were nevertheless merged. That said, I do think that the nominator needs to slow down on the AfDs, as editors should be here not just to tear articles down but to also build them up.

At the very least, I wanted to say that I oppose deletion because this can very well fit as a redirect to Unicorn (to which Unicron exists as a hatnote on that page).

- Comment for the record I personally don't think two months is a particularly long time for something to have notability tags for, considering Wikipedia is a part-time hobby for editors (unless you guys are getting paid, in which case tell me how!). At the risk of invoking Other Stuff Exists, just the comics section alone has multiple articles that have been tagged for a decade-plus (many potentially violating BLP) which need more urgent attention, which once again suggests the nominator is following some sort of personal agenda rather than a genuine desire to improve the wider project.

Although there is a Reception section, I don't think it warrants the character's notability. Parts of the Reception section are listicles, which does not prove notability. The reviews may prove some kind of notability, but they seem to only mention him in passing. A quick Google search does not give much to prove the character's notability.
I am sending this to AfD because I may be wrong and there are independent, reliable sources that don't just talk about him in passing (see Ziva David as an example). If there is not, I would recommend a merge and/or redirect to List of NCIS characters#Leroy Jethro Gibbs. Spinixster (chat!) 14:59, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Upon a quick read-through, this article absolutely has problems. It feels bloated, and it seems to teeter over the line into in-universe perspective. However, if the issue is whether the character is notable on its own for its cultural impact, I feel satisfied that it is. I typed "cultural impact of Jethro Gibbs" into Google--not even Google Scholar--and got a page full of strong-looking sources right away (two of which are probably usable): Reuters Newsweek 2022 People didn't just write about this character when the show was in its heyday. There's recent stuff too. That's in addition to blogs and YouTube videos analyzing the character. We wouldn't use most of them for sources, but they're there. Darkfrog24 (talk) 20:38, 30 August 2023 (UTC) EDIT: And some of this stuff on Google Scholar might be good [31]... And I'm seeing more than one editorial comparing Gibbs to real-life political figures...[32] Darkfrog24 (talk) 20:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC) Addendum: This article has been nominated for deletion a lot, but the last time was over thirteen years ago. A request for revaluation was not inappropriate. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:16, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'll be evaluating the sources:
- The first source is an opinion piece, which isn't bad, but it doesn't necessarily prove notability.
- The second is a WP:TRIVIA / WP:NOTTVTROPES of sorts, which also doesn't necessarily prove notability but can be used in the storylines section.
- Fourth source compares him to real-life political figures, which also doesn't necessarily prove his notability but can still be used.
- The Google Scholar sources can still probably be used, though depending on what they cover, they may or may not prove notability. Spinixster (chat!) 03:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent, you should evaluate the sources. However, I think the fact that journalists writing editorials (I mean the Reuters and Citizen-Times sources) use this fictional character as a touchstone when evaluating real-life society and politicians is very much indicative of that character's notability. It shows that he's leaked out of his own sphere and into the general cultural consciousness. The second author mentions Jethro Gibbs in the same breath as John Wayne and expects the reader to know who he is without explanation. Darkfrog24 (talk) 03:27, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I interpreted it as meaning that the character is popular enough for people to know who he is. Popularity doesn't equal notability (WP:N:

- Keep - There are some sources in the article already, but additionally: A good amount of character discussion occurs in this comic review. I know it's CBR, but this is an actual review as opposed to a listicle (where he definitely shows up in a few as well). Dinobot comes up in several of CBR's pieces on this run, but most recap the story (another shortcoming at times). This one spends more time on Dinobot himself. He seems to be one of the more notable aspects of Beast Wars highlighted by Collider in this piece, and while Flickering Myth covered an entire three-season run, discussion dedicated to Dinobot exceeded WP:100WORDS here. Polygon also dedicates quite a bit of discussion of him in a couple different pieces: One where Dinobot comes up in discussion of the recent film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts where he doesn't appear to even be a character, and another in coverage of Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy. Plenty of sources WP:NEXIST. This one doesn't need as much trimming as some of the others, but a little could stand to be removed. -2pou (talk) 23:44, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm certainly aware of Vish Khanna, because as a Canadian editor who works on musical topics I often cite stuff he wrote for Exclaim! — in fact, I distinctly remember adding a citation to a piece of his writing within the past two days, though damned if I can remember off the top of my head what article I added it to. But the notability test for media personalities isn't the extent to which they've been the creator of coverage about other things, it's the extent to which they've been the subject of coverage created by other people. However, the only references here are to Blogspot blogs, one of which is an interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person and the other is a glancing namecheck of his existence in an interview with somebody else — but that's not the kind of sourcing it takes, and I can't find anything else that would count as GNG-building coverage. Reliable sourcing means real media outlets and books covering his work as news, not Blogspot blogs or staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own current or former employers.

As such, these should be completely discounted. Does that mean that the article should be kept? Not necessarily. The article is so short that all its contents can be merged into Duo Datz without creating any concern of WP:UNDUE.

Keep, AfD is not clean-up. The subject is the author of multiple textbooks in his subject, textbooks that have been independently reviewed.[38] Some of his texts have run to multiple editions over considerable periods.[39] By all means delete anything that's promotional and reformat to make the text more appropriate, but deletion is inappropriate. Elemimele (talk) 12:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Being a co-author of a textbook that has received a single review is very thin gruel. Now being the sole author of a textbook that has received many reviews and editions is much better, but still not enough if that's everything he's done.
- I did check the 3 papers that are mentioned as his "selected publications", and they are not at all well-cited. this has 115 citations, which is rather little for medicine, and he is anyway only one coauthor of a long list of authors. this has 6 citations, which is almost nothing even for statistics, and this has 7 citations.

Nothing mentioned in this discussion so far amounts to a pass of any applicable criterion, in my opinion.

- Strong Keep. The guideline says: "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". Here I don't think that it is reasonable to say it hasn't. (But to be on the safe side, see this or this, for example) On top of that, a list can help organizing the films, for example chronologically, which a category can't. Note that there is also List of vampire television series. As for sourcing, required clean up and prose, it is another issue, as StarTrekker explained. And I too do not think it is "impossibly" broad. And if this is a real concern, let's split it in 1895-1950; 1951-2024, or by regions. But again, this is not the issue here.-My, oh my!

This list is horribly maintained, implying there is some Nosferatu series, it includes material such as production countries, year of release that are not backed up by their sources, has poor quality sources. Now the topic is also far too broad. If anything like this could be maintained, i'd cut it down by decades or even a century. What is the limit on this? Is a vampire film any film that has a vampire in once? the article "Vampire film" itself states it is a genre, but then just lists random vampire films with no context to its history or if anyone considers it a genre.

I originally redirected this article to Say You Will (album), because this doesn't appear to be a particularly notable song. Across the seven sources, one of them is a YouTube link to a live performance, which certainly does not demonstrate notability, and another is a link to a fan site that has posted the lyrics of the song. Among the other sources (all of which qualify as reliable, as far as I know), none of them independently discuss this song, they all either fall under the category of album reviews that name-check the song (Slant), magazine profiles (Guitar Player), editorials about the subject of the song (Washington Post), or dead links that have no archives provided (Entertainment Weekly, FASPE Journalism). This doesn't look to have much worth keeping, and I do see this as a case where it should just be redirected to the main album article, but I will open this up for discussion, so that consensus can be established. JeffSpaceman (talk) 03:57, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Say You Will (album). As per the nomination, this song doesn't appear to be notable. Normally, I would skim the references myself but the nomination already did that. By the way, thanks for the due diligence. In a world of unhelpful cruft, you stand taller. IncompA 04:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Keep for this Fleetwood Mac song, per the Washington Post article which specifically builds the title and article around the topic of the song and thus meets WP:SIGCOV, the Guitar Player article which mentions its arrangement, etc. Easily meeting WP:GNG notability the song focuses on Edward R. Murrow, a hero of American journalism (full disclosure, I'm a journalism graduate and have worked in the field and related fields), and uses the fact that Murrow was and is known as an honest journalist to call into question the change in the way journalism diverted away from Murrow's type of integrity - making his integrity a touchstone of American values. That this song honors Murrow, that it is well covered in the media mentioned above, and that it meets GNG, passes the bar as a notable Wikipedia topic. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
I don't want to cast aspersions here, but it feels like you have a strong conflict of interest with the subject of the song. I am not trying to devalue your input, but saying things along the lines of, "The song focuses on [Murrow], a hero of American journalism... and uses the fact that Murrow was... known as an honest journalist to call into question the change in the way journalism diverted away from Murrow's type of integrity" unfortunately does not prove anything to me other than your passion for Murrow. Ultimately, your personal opinion on a subject involved in article, positive or negative, should not play a role in discussions like these.Struck per Liz's comment below. JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:09, 29 August 2023 (UTC)- As for the rest of your argument, you state that the Washington Post named their article after the song. Please take a moment to read WP:Notability is not inherited, which explains why this type of reasoning should be avoided. Similarly, just because the Guitar Player article noted characteristics of the song does not mean that the song has significant, independent coverage in this magazine, something that is required of multiple reliable sources to establish notability of any subject, and something that unfortunately just is not present on this article at the moment. As for your closing statement, the fact that the song honors Murrow does not automatically render it notable. Once again, please read the subsection I linked at the beginning of this paragraph.
- I stand by all that I have argued. There is nothing here that I see being worth keeping. JeffSpaceman (talk) 04:28, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
What a backhanded accusation ("No, really, believe me, I don't mean to cast aspersions here") that I have a conflict of interest because of my background. Excuse me? Do you mean that Wikipedia editors who have been educated or worked in a professional field that relates to a topic all have conflicts of interest and should be dismissed? There are many medical professionals, scientists, researchers, college professors, and on and on, who are valued Wikipedians. This is absurd, and striking out your entire first paragraph above would be a good start. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:32, 15 August 2023 (UTC)I'm not trying to say that you have a conflict of interest merely because of your background -- in fact, I never said that because of your background in journalism, your opinion here is invalid. I simply stated that it seems like you have a conflict of interest related to Murrow specifically: your descriptions of him being a "hero of American journalism" and talking about his "integrity" have little (if any) neutrality present in them and simply do not belong in this discussion. Please don't bring your personal opinion about Murrow into this, talk about why removing the contents of this page isn't a good idea. I'm really not trying to come down on you, but your personal opinion on the subject of the song is irrelevant in this discussion.See above JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:09, 29 August 2023 (UTC) JeffSpaceman (talk) 04:41, 15 August 2023 (UTC)In essence saying "Hand to God, believe me, I didn't mean what I said" doesn't cut it. You have cast aspersion and I request you strike a lot of wording from both your comments. Not only for me but for all Wikipedians who have worked in a topic-field related to AfD's such as this (and please read WP:Casting aspersions to understand why I'm being adamant about this for, again, not just myself but for other Wikipedians who you would cast into the same light).As for Murrow, hopefully you know who he was and what he accomplished. Since the article meets WP:GNG it's perfectly fine to talk about the topic of the song. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:45, 15 August 2023 (UTC)- My knowledge of Murrow is irrelevant here. You still have not proven that the article meets WP:GNG. I assessed all of the sources in my original paragraph, and I came away from it with two reliable sources that name-checked the song (Slant, Guitar Player), with neither source providing special emphasis on it, an editorial about Murrow that, despite taking its name from it, only talks about the song across two meager paragraphs (Washington Post), and dead links without archives (Entertainment Weekly, FASPE Journalism). The only other sources were a YouTube link to a live performance and some fan site that posted the lyrics, neither of which is a reliable source of information by any stretch.
Once again, please comment on the content of the article specifically, not a subject of it. That's not what this discussion is meant for.See above JeffSpaceman (talk) 22:09, 29 August 2023 (UTC) JeffSpaceman (talk) 04:55, 15 August 2023 (UTC)- The linked Washington Post article covers the song with enough focus to meet both WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.
I already said that above. Now how about my point about striking your aspersion language.Randy Kryn (talk) 05:00, 15 August 2023 (UTC)I don't see where I casted aspersions, exactly. Regarding my first paragraph of my initial response to your vote, I maintain that your personal opinion about the subject of an article does not belong in a deletion discussion. Calling him a "hero of American journalism" and "an honest journalist" with "integrity" feels like unnecessary puffery, if you ask me. I don't see where I've made any personal attacks towards you or anyone else, I'm merely pointing out what I see as biased, peacocking language.

- The linked Washington Post article covers the song with enough focus to meet both WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.
- My knowledge of Murrow is irrelevant here. You still have not proven that the article meets WP:GNG. I assessed all of the sources in my original paragraph, and I came away from it with two reliable sources that name-checked the song (Slant, Guitar Player), with neither source providing special emphasis on it, an editorial about Murrow that, despite taking its name from it, only talks about the song across two meager paragraphs (Washington Post), and dead links without archives (Entertainment Weekly, FASPE Journalism). The only other sources were a YouTube link to a live performance and some fan site that posted the lyrics, neither of which is a reliable source of information by any stretch.
Keep - the song is notable for its production techniques and has been widely singled out for discussion by critics among a lengthy 18-track album. I've improved and diversified the referencing but is a work in progress. There are quite a few book/print references as well but I ma not experienced at citing these properly if anyone else wanted to take a look, if not I will attempt to educate myself in the correct formatting.

- Delete I don't see any WP:SIGCOV of the song in the sources in the article. The Washington Post article just quotes the song's lyrics in a single sentence, and then is briefly referenced in a quote in the next sentence. A redirect is probably fine. SportingFlyer T·C 19:51, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- The song is from 2003, the Washington Post article from 2005. To think that the term just popped into everyone's head by accident after the song was released is stretching it. When multiple relistings after a good number of Keeps show up on an AfD, I hope closers take the full discussion into account and not just what happens after a relisting. Famous song topic, famous singing group, and the hope that journalists can someday again be as honest as Murrow was in his prime, this article seems a WP:COMMONSENSE keep and yes, it does meet GNG with the Washington Post coverage using the term that came out of nowhere and was then "on everybody's lips" and the Chicago Tribune's wonderful wording in its review praising Buckingham's guitar work on the song: "...from the psychedelic sun shower he conjures on "Murrow...". Please also realize that this song is not only a notable "song" but is a notable piece of journalistic history in popular culture - not every day that songs about journalists hit the airwaves. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- With all due respect, neither the Washington Post and Chicago Tribune are significant coverage. The Chicago Tribune coverage of the song is literally just
(from the psychedelic sun shower he conjures on "Murrow" to the banjolike picking he brings to "Thrown Down")
, and the Washington Post is a single sentence of coverage which mostly just restates the lyric. All of the other sources are just about the album the song is on with the exception of the Quietus, so there's clearly no WP:GNG pass here and I don't know why you're claiming it's satisfied.

Randy Kryn (talk) 23:08, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- No, Buckingham's Guitar Player quote focuses on the song, the others mention it well, there is at least one book source and, as you point out, The Quietus section and, as I said, the 2005 Washington Post article which purposely focuses on the phenomena of many sources suddenly talking about Murrow rolling over in his grave - two years after this song was released. All of this is nit-picking the notability of an already well-written article with a dozen good sources. Significant coverage doesn't have to be a cover story in Time, it is a focus on a particular song in many different publications. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:30, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Comment I already voted to keep this article earlier, so I'll provide some additional comments here. First off, it's important to mention that the article has transformed considerably since it was first nominated for deletion back on August 15th. In their reasoning, JeffSpaceman conducted a thorough review where they cited various issues with the page. One of the sources was simply a link to a live performance, another reference simply contained the lyrics to the song, and another had a dead url. Myself and other editors took note of these concerns and have resolved them.
Another issue brought up was the perceived lack of substantial coverage. A handful of sources simply reference the song in passing, and while this alone does not amount to sufficient coverage, it should be noted that several other references go into greater detail about the song, including the lyrical inspiration, background on when the song was written (with mention of the Gift of Screws recording sessions), and some of the production techniques utilized. Some of these references were added after the article was nominated, which warrants a reevaluation of the article's current merits. Dobbyelf62 (talk) 20:04, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with virtually everything you have written above. When I nominated this for deletion a few weeks ago, what I saw was an article with either unreliable sources or ones that did not establish independent notability of the song itself. Looking at it now, it's clear that those issues have been mostly resolved, and I would be willing to withdraw my nomination. Addressing the disagreements by User:SportingFlyer above, User:Randy Kryn is quite right when he points out that significant coverage does not have to be a cover story, just focus on a particular subject across multiple different, independent publications. That is exactly what this article has improved in since I nominated it, and it's why I can't stand by my initial nomination anymore. JeffSpaceman (talk) 11:34, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- I still disagree, sorry. I understand that significant coverage isn't a Time cover story, but this article has been cobbled together off of single sentences in articles that just name-check it, since the articles are either about the album or about the subject of the song as a whole. Guitar Player, for instance, is simply a two-sentence quote from the singer in a list of quotes about the different songs on the album. Almost all of the references are like the Stereogum article:
BUCKINGHAM: Yes. “Bleed To Love Her” ended up on Say You Will, “Murrow Turning Over In His Grave,” “Come” … but there were still all these other ones.
Those x10 isn't significant coverage per the GNG, sorry. A redirect to the album's page makes sense. SportingFlyer T·C 11:54, 2 September 2023 (UTC) - Thank you JeffSpaceman, it's all too rare that a nominator reverses their stand (a study in the strength of cognitive dissonance, which is usually found in politics and sports). Maybe you can toss a 'Keep' onto your comment to offset the above response. This AfD did, as all good AfD's do, garner more attention and added sources to the article, which is, as you point out, well improved since your nomination. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:05, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- User:Randy Kryn: Am I allowed to place a "keep" vote in an AfD I started? I just ask, because I don't know if I can do that. JeffSpaceman (talk) 14:33, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Of course you can. SportingFlyer T·C 15:56, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- I did not think that this was possible. I thought that, as the editor who started this AfD, I could only start discussion, I couldn't vote either way. Is there a policy page I can look at for further information? I'm just wondering, so that I can be assured based on policy. JeffSpaceman (talk) 16:44, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Liz: Is this possible?
- DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 16:51, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- JeffSpaceman, if the nominator changes their mind, and there are no votes for Deletion, then the nominator can withdraw the nomination and it can be closed as Keep. If there are Delete opinions, I think the proper thing to do is to strike the portion of your deletion nomination that is no longer valid (using <s>Nomination</s>) and putting a Keep opinion below your nomination statement. It doesn't happen a lot but it does happen that a nominator changes their opinion when sources are brought to light. Liz Read! Talk! 03:11, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Administrators, I am preferring this appeal to enable me to keep the Wikipedia page for Mahesh Kumar Garg who is an accomplished poet and writer. I am aware that there is a policy against creating autobiographies on Wikipedia. The page for Mahesh Kumar Garg has been created after extensive research on poet's life, and I have included citations to the sources which are all authentic and comply with Wikipedia's standards and policy. I have also been respectful of other editors and have not engaged in any disruptive behavior. It is requested to revoke the block so that I can continue working on the Wikipedia page, which will be of help to the community and millions of readers and scholars of Hindi Literature.

- Hello, MaheshGargBedhadak,
- AFD discussions are determined by consensus of editors so your plea to keep this article is one opinion. The other editors have based their opinions on Wikipedia policies which carries more weight for the admin who will evaluate and close this discussion at the end of a week. But if you want to continue to work on this article, you should request that it be "Draftified", either to Draft or User space. As of the discussion right now, this is a more plausible outcome than a "Keep". Liz Read! Talk! 03:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete a WP:PROMOtional article in support of his political campaign. Should probably have already been deleted by now. The first version of this - before he announced a candidacy - fails WP:GNG. If he wins the campaign we can restore the article, but since we consistently delete people who are only notable for being candidates, we shouldn't keep this around as he's only notable because he's running for office.

It's the last of four LPTVs that formed the Dunes Television Network, a regional LPTV network in Northwest Indiana that mostly relayed All News Channel with the odd Indiana collegiate event broadcast and local news inserts from WSBT-TV. LeSEA Broadcasting acquired the others in the 1990s and 2000s but not this one; those are all now dead, having not been converted to digital service. There is not a lot of coverage to go on.

Though there is a clear Reception section, I don't know if it warrants the character's notability. Just because an actor won an award for the portrayal of the character doesn't mean the character themselves are notable. A quick Google search doesn't give many sources to prove the character's notability. I may be wrong, thus this AfD nomination. Spinixster (chat!) 14:41, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Beyond those listed in the article, I found sources on this character in USA Today, Deadline, CBS, ET, CBR (also here), Screenrant, The Wrap, Collider, and Slate. And that is a preliminary search. I'd imagine there are even more sources out there on her, and think this search only scratches the surface. Historyday01 (talk) 16:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep I knew we'd eventually get to this considering the trim of CSI characters. However, Catherine actually has a lot of WP:SIGCOV per Historyday01's sources. Ideally, the article can be fixed a bit, but AfD requires a WP:BEFORE search. On whether the article reaches WP:GNG, well the plot summary can be trimmed to include character growth and any reliable recaps. Conyo14 (talk) 04:47, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect. The reception section in the article is bad. Awards are for the actor, not character, then we have listicles / trivial recognition like "number 82 on Bravo's 100 Greatest TV Characters" and some pasing comments about her from some episode reviews. This takes me to the soruces found above (from Historyday01), who did not however provide any analysis nor suggest they did anything but WP:GOOGLEHITS report. USAToday is a WP:INTERVIEW with the actor about the character, which means issues with independence. deadline is a short piece about her coming back to the show. So-so. CBS reads like a press release. Sorry, I don't have time to review more sources, but they are not impressive, and I distincly note they are not scholarly but rather at celebrity media level or worse. It is onus on those voting keep to argue there is reliable SIGCOV, not throw a list of links and imply they may or may not be helpful here. This is bad AFD practice. The character may be notable, but nobody has estabilished this, the article does not do it, sources presented here that I reviewed are bad. For now, my vote is to redirect this to the list of characters. Ping me if someone wants to argue there are good sources here to improve this with and I'll reconsider my vote. But right now the sources found seem weak. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. The resources linked by Historyday generally point towards constituting significant coverage. Admittedly, to go through the rest of the sources, the amount of independence does go back and forth throughout the list. The source of "The Wrap" is mainly an interview with the actor, and the "ET" source also includes an interview segment with the character's actress as well, meaning those portions are not completely independent. But even then, the rest of the sources do seem to talk about the character individually, and also create notability for Catherine on her own. The article also supplements this with the actress's thoughts during interviews, which can't be really used as "independent sources", but there's enough there in regards to independence throughout the segments focused solely on the character. As for the reception, it does seem appropriate to include accolades the actress won because the actress and character are effectively linked, so I would maintain it. Utopes (talk / cont) 03:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep The sources provided by Historyday01 above pass SIGCOV and she is notable enough to have her own article. The article just needs some fixing. FlutterDash344 (talk) 03:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment As the nominator, I'd like to do an evaluation on the sources that Historyday provided myself.
- USA Today, ET and TheWrap are interviews, and thus do not prove notability.
- CBS is the actor's biography: notice how the url says "csi-vegas/cast/216685/" and CSI is a CBS show.
- First ScreenRant article talks about the show, CSI: Vegas, rather than the character. Obviously, for a major character, she will be mentioned a lot in articles relating to the show, but that does not prove notability of the individual character (MOS:TRIVIA, WP:NOTTVTROPES)
- Second ScreenRant article talks about how the aforementioned spinoff of CSI has "wasted" the character. While it does focus on the character's storylines, I don't see how this proves that the character is notable. (also MOS:TRIVIA, WP:NOTTVTROPES)
- CBR is similar to the second ScreenRant article.
- Deadline and Collider are similar to the second ScreenRant article, but about the character's return to the new series.
- Slate is an opinion piece about the character, which can be used for the Reception section, but other than that is not enough to prove the character's individual notability.
- I would like to remind you that just because the show is notable doesn't mean that the major characters are. Just because there are multiple sources about the character's appearances on the show does not mean that the character is inherently notable; this is something I've learned myself. I want future voters to keep this in mind before making a decision. Spinixster (chat!) 10:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Excellent summary. I found a few hits on Google Scholar. I added one to the article and listed the others on the talk page. Darkfrog24 (talk) 22:54, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the first article I cannot access without paying :(, the third article is a just a mention, the fourth one is also not significant coverage. However, the second article is quite interesting and at least passes a partial if not all the way. It comes from the Texas State Library as a peer-reviewed journal: Journal of Research on Women and Gender. Granted the entire article discusses crimes against women as portrayed by the show vs the crimes against men and then analyzes the issues, but it does use Catherine Willows attack against her as a prime example. Conyo14 (talk) 23:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for using what access you have to evaluate the sources that I couldn't reach. I was expecting that they wouldn't all be hits. Darkfrog24 (talk) 23:57, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Darkfrog24 Since it seems like you would be interested in improving the article, I would recommend checking out MOS:FICTION. In short, it should have more information about the real-life aspects of the character and less WP:CRUFT. The article also lacks references. If you need more examples, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional characters/Quality content. Spinixster (chat!) 08:54, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's not clear how you find this article to deviate from MOS:FICTION. Which issue causes you to believe that the article should be deleted? Right now, improvements should focus on keeping its head above water rather than perfecting the swim stroke. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:43, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Darkfrog24 Perhaps you should re-read what I said. I was just saying that because you were interested in improving the article, I did not say it was needed, but it would be preferred.
- I did a WP:BEFORE search and many of the results were much like the sources Historyday has given, so I started an AfD debate to debate on whether or not the article is notable. I have said in the nomination that I may be wrong, I never said I was correct. Spinixster (chat!) 15:50, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- The sources you've found are good, but sourcing is really only a small part of the problem. AS3959 is an individual standard that, as important as it may be in specific circumstances, is simply not that notable. For comparison, consider the Florida Building Code article which includes the HVHZ standard for cyclone protection. That standard is often mentioned in industry and news recaps whenever major tropical storms strike worldwide (either as, 'Why don't we have...' or 'Why our standard is better than...'). That piece of the code, though, is simply referenced in the overall article because having a separate article is WP:UNDUE. The same is true of AS3959. As an AtD, I could get behind a Merge into Standards Australia. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 12:46, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Same thing for source two but with 2 appearances of the organisations name one of which is reference, however the source is used for the criticism and other coverage in the article so may be more in depth then I can tell from what little is viewable by me. Source 3 is the only source I can fully review as it is a journal paper that is free to download. The coverage in source 3 about the foundation is focused on the WISCOMP so would meet SIGCOV.

- Keep This may have been stated by the 14th Dalai Lama, but the work will continue after he's gone. The Carter Center is the closest American parallel that I can think of. It's specific purpose for existence is to advance human rights and alleviate human suffering. After both President Carter and Rosalynn Carter are dead, the Carter Center will carry on with the work they started. The center itself will not lose any notability, because the notability is in the work of the center. The 14th Dalai Lama is likely to be the last Dalai Lama, at least that's what he's said. The work of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility of His Holiness the Dalai Lama will continue with the same name. — Maile (talk) 20:34, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

- Weak delete or merge/redirect to Nobody's Boy: Remi. I did a BEFORE and I am not seeing anything outside confirmation that yes, such an anime existed. Japanese article is longer but it doesn't seem to have any information on reception, awards, etc. That said, sources may exist in Japanese - but that's not an argument for keeping, just a speculation. I'd like to see this saved - ping me if sources are found and I'll behappy to reconsider my vote. I'll note that the Boy original is pretty poor too (for determining notability), but the very fact it got several remakes including the one nominated here suggests there is a notable topic here. But it is possible, yes, that not every remake needs a stand-alone article (that said, the original anime is itself an adaptation of the French novel, see Sans_Famille#Film_and_television, so it is possible that what is notable is the original novel but not the animes...). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: It looks like this is also called Remi: A Child Without a Home in English. (At least, that's the title it's given in The Anime Encyclopedia, 3rd Revised Edition, according to Google Books. That's one decent source for a Japanese programme from the early days of the internet. There will surely be others in Japanese and/or offline, so I suspect this is notable.

- Keep 11 interwikis plus a sizeable Japanese article mentioning offshot media - looks sufficiently notable to me, considering this didn't originate in the English-speaking sphere. – sgeureka t•c 12:14, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Sgeureka I often agree with you but this is just a wish that WP:THEREMAYBESOURCES. I hope so, too, but we need to show those sources, and the Japanese articles is poorly referenced, I feel. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- I am not actually claiming/expecting there to be sources for development/reception like usual, but I regard the existance of several media (26 TV episodes plus 8 Japanese ISBN) noteworthy - which we can source.[71][72][73] etc. This is IMO not much different to the List of Lucky Luke albums situation - barely nor no individual notability, and obviously people look this up internationally (per the interwikis), so it's IMO keep- and mention-worthy as long as it's kept to one noncrufty page. – sgeureka t•c – sgeureka t•c 11:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Nobody's Boy: Remi: I disagree with the sentiment of the nomination (we shouldn't be deleting articles just b/c they're unreferenced) but searches in English and Japanese (via machine translation) doesn't uncover anything useful. Ping me if sources are found. CLYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 05:48, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect per Piotrus. There don't appear to be reliable sources. There is a good redirect target per WP:ATD. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:12, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I found a few sources:
- アニメで読む世界史 (in Japanese). 2011. ISBN 978-4-634-64054-2. - The third chapter is about this work
- "歴史とジェンダーをめぐって―バーネットの『小公子』、『小公女』、マロの『家なき子』、『家なき娘』の場合川端 有子". 国際子ども図書館児童文学連続講座講義録: 78. October 2014.
- In addition, there are some plausible sources from the NDL Digital Collections but there is only snippet view so I'm not sure. All that combined with the Anime Encyclopedia source it should be enough. Courtesy ping @Piotrus: and @ClydeFranklin: per their request. Jumpytoo Talk 18:09, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Jumpytoo This is very appreciated. Sadly, I am not able to access/translate those sources - can you elaborate on how they meet WP:SIGCOV and wP:RS? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:44, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- The first source has the third chapter be dedicated to this work and one other work (the link provides the table of contents, and there is also this book review which correlates), and the second source has around half a page describing the airing history behind it, on how it replaced an anime that got cancelled because it was garbage, and how this anime also got canned pretty quickly because it was also unpopular.
- The NDL Digital collections also show a few sources with potential but I can't read them, for example one of them has the following available as snippet (Google translated): "The main character of the last " Homeless Remi " is the same as the original...", and I presume it talks more about the series in the full text which is not visible.

- Keep, kudos to Jumpytoo per sources above. Both are significant coverage and definitely reliable. The book was published by Yamakawa Shuppansha ((ja), which is a well-established academic publisher, and Yūichi Morioka (ja) is an Osaka University professor emeritus. Ariko Kawabata (ja), the journal essay's author, is also a notable academic. Given the pre-Internet era subject and the usual difficulties in looking for Japanese sources, I am surprised that there is so much online. Furthermore, it is quite obvious there is more offline.

- Delete as non-notable. Fails WP:ENT and the one source only makes a passing mention as a picture-caption and doesn't demonstrate notability. Utopes (talk / cont) 04:23, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment found a couple of articles ([74], [75]) about some legal troubles he has been having; not sure if that is enough to establish notability. I also don't know anything about the reliability of that second publication (Univision I presume is reliable). WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 22:18, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I checked these sources, and while it talks about the problems he was facing, from my point of view this does not establish notability as an entertainer/TV personality. While Univision I'd agree seems to be a reliable source on its own right, it talks mainly about the scandal and not about Paco Lala's career. Neither of those two links back up Paco Lalas' notability, nor can I find reliable sources that do, so the background of "panelist on one show" does not seem to be enough.
