Lizzy Clark[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. The article only cites two secondary sources and only one is actually about Lizzy Clark (the BBC article). The rest of the cited sources are mostly about Clark's mother and are all primary sources except one (The Observer). Consequently, this article relies too heavily on primary sources; more than half of the eight sources cited are primary (mostly things written by Clark's mother), with only two secondary sources and one dead link. Also, the majority of the Career section is about their mother's activism (and it should be noted that the website for the mother's campaign is no longer active), and the Personal Life section says more about Clark's mother and sister than it does about Lizzy Clark.

  • Weak keep. I'm not against an article having primarily primary sources. The newspaper articles are not all interviews by the subject. There are at least three good sources with material about the person. I add in "weak" due to the lack of secondary sources. Bearian (talk) 17:20, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia notability guidelines require that articles rely primarily on independent sources (WP:INDEPENDENT), so an article that relies primarily on primary sources fails that requirement. The biggest problem in the case of this article is that most of the sources cited were written by and/or about the subject's mother (who actually seems more notable than the subject) and contains little or no substantive information about the subject. Also, what are the "three good sources" you mentioned? I'm only aware of one short BBC article. Baronet13 (talk) 08:24, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • Your comments isn't clear. Are you saying that sources from a "paper of record" are presumed to be notable? meet the criteria for establishing notability? That isn't the case but again, not sure if I'm understanding you correctly. HighKing++ 16:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP guidelines apply which require references that discuss the topic (ie the *company*) in detail. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* reference must meet all the criteria for establishing notability - at least two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. References cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when reworded or modified. If it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND. Also, quantity of "coverage" isn't relevant nor the "quality" of the publication - a million "mentions" or single-sentence descriptions in the highest quality reliable source does not meet the criteria, nor can multiple sources be combined.
In this case, the references are either basic information or regurgitated announcements as follows:
None of the sources meet GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 16:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NSCHOOL, no significant coverage in either Swedish or French name. LibStar (talk) 22:12, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I've expanded the artice; most of the content is new since it was taken to AfD. This is a fairly important school in the history of Swedish education: the first of the so called "utlandsskolorna", Swedish schools in other countries. While a general search didn't find much of importance (the only openly accessible reference I've used, from Norrtelje Tidningar, has as much focus on one of the students as one the school itself; this is not true for the other references), better coverage can be found e.g. through sv:Mediearkivet, which collects Swedish newspaper articles, sometimes going back to the 1990s. /Julle (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, I don't think "Svenska skolan Paris" is helpful when looking for sources; the name typically used in Swedish is "Svenska skolan i Paris". /Julle (talk) 00:09, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of destroyed heritage of the United States[edit]

1. How do we define "destroyed"? Partially destroyed? Completely destroyed? To paraphrase a discussion from the talk page of the main list of destroyed heritage, are we to differentiate between deliberate destruction caused by humans (e.g. the September 11 attacks), vs. natural disaster (e.g. the Hurricane Katrina examples)? What's very confusing is that this article only seems to cover the former whereas the main article seems to cover both.

2. And how do we define "heritage"? Do the contents of List of monuments and memorials removed during the George Floyd protests count as heritage? The answer would depend on the political inclinations of whoever you ask. We could use criteria like National Register of Historic Places, but there would likely be too many, and that list only covers locations.

3. And why does this deserve a completely separate article (and in a separate format) from the general list of destroyed heritage?

Overall, for these reasons, I feel like this list is unhelpful, and serves little purpose which cannot be found in the main article. In its current state it can hardly stand, and I can hardly see any way to improve it that cannot be better off done in editing the main artice.

Not a single non primary source, and the 'book' is just a collection of AI generated text. Every part of this reads like an ad. Great how they even included the Amazon link.

please see my comment below, which was responding to abuse elsewhere. I didn't realize Fram was insulting me, making accusations here too. After I encountered a number of bad AFD nominations by Fram (i think all ended "keep"), i did browse their contribiutions and see other bad edits, and questionable prods and i did remove at least 2 prods. Their abusive-type commenting here is obnoxious IMHO. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 03:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per above.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 11:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I am the editor who chose to remove a "PROD" on this article (and apparently make some other edit in the article), with edit summary "rm PROD, edit some. I'm not sure this is not significant." I recall that I was thinking the article was promotional-like, and I think I considered it possible/likely that it was started by someone close to the author or publisher. But I considered it possible that the claim made was true, that the book was the first published poetry book largely generated by ChatGPT, or at least that it was one of the first such. And I believe that having some list of first or early ChatGPT products is likely worthwhile. If I could have found such a list-article easily I might have merged/redirected it myself, or noted on the list-article talk page that this poetry book should be considered as a possible list-item. And, given no list-article is apparent, I do think it would be reasonable for this AFD discussion to consider the merit of creating one. And then the decision here could be "Redirect" or "Merge" perhaps.
I make this comment in partial response to critical comments about me made elsewhere citing my removal of the PROD. For the record, I did remove the PROD. I would welcome comments here whether that was totally unreasonable or abusive or otherwise bad on my part, or not. Is my argument that a list-article should be considered, so far-fetched? This comment by me and any further discussion on these lines is off track from the purpose of the AFD, but it seems relevant for me to try to reach those considering the validity of the article here, about the accusation of abuse made against me elsewhere. So comment further or not. Thanks for considering this, anyhow. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 01:10, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Many, many matches on Google Scholar, Newspapers.com, and Google Books. While a lot of those results are trivial mentions, there's some significant coverage in there, with sources like Dine Bikeyah Navajo Places, The Navajo Country, and Geology of Navajo Country provide some significant coverage and establish that this has historically been a populated place. Hubbell Trading Post and A Great Aridness provide significant coverage of trading posts established at Cedar Springs and their history, as well as descriptions of the site more generally. A lot of the mere mentions (not linked) also use Cedar Springs to give geographic directions to other places, suggesting a level of recognition that implies further significant coverage's existence (although at this point I think even just the assembled sources above substantiate at least a weak case for GNG outright). FWIW, while the search term "Cedar Springs" "Arizona" turns up the largest pile of (mostly trivial) results, "Cedar Springs" "Navajo" returned most of the more substantial sources I've linked above. signed, Rosguill talk 19:31, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, every musician is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists, and has to be shown to pass certain specific markers of noteworthy achievement supported by a certain specific class of reliable source coverage about him in media -- but this isn't claiming anything that would pass the criteria in NMUSIC, and is referenced entirely to his music's presence on online streaming platforms, and a simple list of the results of a Google search, rather than any evidence of media coverage about him. And even if I switch the Google search to the "news" tab, I only get news articles about monthly COVID-19 statistics in Rhode Island and an article about a Ukrainian child who went missing in Poland, not any coverage of an Indian musician.
As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations site on which emerging musicians are entitled to have articles for the publicity -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be a subject of WP:GNG-worthy coverage in real media.

It's mildly confusing that User:Peter James refers to islands in the Ottawa River, which is not relevant here but would be relevant in ongoing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pig Island (Ottawa) instead. List of islands of Ontario#Lake Nipigon lists five islands, each vastly larger than this one, out of thousands of islands visible in Lake Nipigon. I'll take Peter James at their word that 120-130 of those are named in geonames.org. List of islands of Ontario has unclear inclusion criteria but appears to try to list relatively significant islands. IMHO there is no way this island should ever be listed in any section of List of islands of Ontario, though, so the topic should not be merged or redirected to there. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 09:26, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There should not be arbitrarily different criteria for inclusion in different sections of the same list (and geonames.org has the Geographical Names Board of Canada as its main source in that area, the same as currently used in the Ottawa River section). Peter James (talk) 13:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies, meaning this argument doesn't hold much weight, because those other places should probably be deleted as well.
and more importantly, the only reason for a REDIRECT should be if we think there are sufficient incoming links to this name that it would be helpful for anyone to go to this link and see the list. As far as I can tell, there are exactly zero such incoming links here, in mainspace anyway. — Shibbolethink ( ) 15:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are many similar redirects, often as the result of AFD, and there would be no reason to delete in WP:RFD#DELETE if added to the list. Peter James (talk) 18:09, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Hi, thanks for pinging me. For some context, my motivation for making the split in November 2019 was due to the extensive, maundering season reports in the original article. Initially, I did what I could to reduce these reports down, but it soon became clear that entirely new, summary-style reports were required. I wrote these new, shorter reports which are, I'm pleased to say, extant, broadly speaking, on the subject's main page today. This, of course, necessitated deleting the previous text elsewhere, or (as I thought was a better and less-controversial alternative at the time) simply moving them to a new article. Unfortunately, this article has not been well maintained and has become hugely bloated with poorly-written rambling season reports by no doubt well-meaning editors apparently unfamiliar with the adage "less is more". I'm not too fussed either way about whether it stays or goes, so long as the relevant section of the main article doesn't end up hideously bloated again or be updated following each Grand Prix weekend with another rambling paragraph. —Ave (talk) 20:00, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the main article should be trimmed and indeed be more written with season reports and not race-by-race summaries. Many of his 2014-2020 wins were pretty uncontested with superdominant machinery and don't need a separate paragraph. Tvx1 21:12, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Main claim to fame appears to be "first Pakistani food connoisseur to be featured in Forbes", but that article is a "contributor" piece, a self-published source as noted in WP:FORBESCON. The other articles appear to be similar PR efforts. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. I would consider anything written by Sonya Rehman (a past Fullbright Scholar in Journalism and a former Pulitzer-Moore Fellow at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism) as reliable given her pedigree as a journalist and subject matter expert in arts and culture journalism. She's written for the The Wall Street Journal, Al Jazeera. Time, etc. I don't think there is a strong argument to be made here against the Forbes article in terms of reliability. I would consider this as one high quality source towards passing WP:SIGCOV based on who the author is per WP:FORBESCON and the content. However, none of the other sources contain significant coverage and are fluffy self-promotional pieces. As such we lack multiple sources with independent significant coverage and the topic fails WP:SIGCOV. 4meter4 (talk) 17:50, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I agree with @4meter4, if the discussion is about Forbes article as a "Contributor piece". Seeing the previous publications of Sonya Rehman, It is hard to tell if the contribution was made under with personal interests. I would also say that Gulf Today reference is also considered as reliable. I would accept the final decision of the administrator but these references along with Advisor to Government's reference should be considered.

Raphael Falk (academic)[edit]

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

No indication of notability. Falk does not satisfy any of the eight notability criteria at WP:ACADEMIC, and a look at Google Scholar and JSTOR confirms this. Academically speaking, Falk appears to have been one of the tens of thousands of academics who are Professors and publish a bit, but without meeting any of the eight required criteria. No obvious notability outside Academia either; a few obituaries when he passed away, but that is also common. In one minor publication, Falk appears to have made a claim that many users in the WP:ARBPIA field wish to repeat. This AfD is not a comment on that claim; academic findings in good journals are WP:RS despite the author not having a WP article, and, vice versa, dubious claims are not WP:RS despite the author having a WP article. Knowing how fraught with tensions the ARBPIA field is, I hope this AfD can focus on whether Falk met any of the eight criteria at WP:ACADEMIC (or whether he otherwise was notable). Nothing in the article indicates that that is the case. Struck, see comment below. Jeppiz (talk) 14:24, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, obviously. Falk was a noted geneticist. Contrary to the claim, it is easy to find more than 2000 citations for him at Google Scholar. He also wrote at least two books which were repeatedly reviewed and often cited. This more than enough to satisfy "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." Furthermore, it is definitely NOT common for academics to receive obituaries in academic journals; in fact only a tiny fraction receive that honor. Zerotalk 15:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, that is factually incorrect. A bit over 2000 citations for a whole academic career is very modest. Few colleagues in my own department are below 6000 citations (and only one has a WP article, and he is above 80.000). Globally, most academics with 10.000 - 20.000 citations do not have articles on Wikipedia. It might be the overall criteria for academics are too strict (I am very open to that discussion) but that should be discussed under WP:ACADEMIC. As the criteria stand, Falk obviously does not meet them. Jeppiz (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • PS, I want to qualify my response to Zero above to state categorically that I wish we would apply the criteria Zero introduces. For many years, I've found it to be anti-academic bias that, for example, football players only need to play in a fourth division team that few would know and still qualify for notability, whereas not even being a Professor at a good university and have more than 1000 academic citations is enough for an academic. I have no argument in principle with what Zero writes. However, those are not the current guidelines. If anyone wants to start a discussion that academics such as Falk should be considered notable, I'll support it 100%. But in the meantime, we just cannot apply entirely different criteria to Falk than to other academics. Jeppiz (talk) 15:24, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So go and write articles on the fine academics who don't have them instead of trying to delete an article on someone who does deserve one. The problem with "significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed" is not present in its wording. You claim to dislike how high the barrier is in practice, but there is nothing at all forcing you to interpret this rule as a very high barrier. Instead, you are doing exactly what you complain about. Also I think your little warning in tiny type is rather outrageous given that you came here as a protagonist in the debate you mention. Zerotalk 16:06, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If I did "go and write articles" they would be swiftly deleted as per WP:ACADEMIC. Perhaps it would help discussion if you could indicate which of the eight criteria at WP:ACADEMIC you think Falk met. I do take your point about the obituary as being relevant, though I don't think it's enough in itself (obituaries are not for all academics but neither are they that rare). Still, it's a valid point. Beyond that point, what notability do you see and for which criteria? Jeppiz (talk) 16:19, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Daft nomination and frankly a bit tasteless and disrespectful to the recently deceased. Almost every paper by Falk on Google Scholar has dozens if not hundreds of cites, making the case for his impact self-evident. Also, see criterion 1.c. of WP:ACADEMIC, which notes that a memorial volume is qualification enough and low and behold (and the nom has already seen this): In Memoriam: Raphael Falk, 1929–2019. His works, such as The struggle of genetics for independence, are in 1,000+ academic libraries. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't a memorial volume but a 4 page obituary in the Springer journal Biological Theory. As I noted this is an honor that only a tiny fraction of scholars receive when they die. Zerotalk 16:06, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
1. No, Falk is not "recently deceased", it's been more than 'two years. Not that it matters one bit.
2. "Dozens of citations" is like saying it's an athletic achievement to do two push-ups. Are you familiar with the H-index? Even the most junior faculty quickly gets an H-index of 10-20. An academic article with "dozens" of cites is not even remotely notable. In previous discussions over academic notability, we have looked at whether the academic has any article with more than 1000 cites. Even that has not necessarily been enough. .
3. I assume good faith in thinking that your claim that there was a memorial volume to Falk is not a deliberate lie (false though it is) but just another indication of your lack of knowledge of a academia. A journal published an obituary for Falk. That is not the same as a memorial volume.
In short, not one part of your comment is correct. Perhaps you refrain from calling others "daft"? Jeppiz (talk) 16:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, got confused over the in memorium piece, but no, it's still a daft nomination, and Zero is absolutely right that you are raising needless illusory barriers here, and you would be better off adding content instead. Iskandar323 (talk) 17:14, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Enough book reviews for WP:AUTHOR. Likely pass of WP:PROF#C1. And additional notability through a reliably published obituary and through Oren Harman's eulogy [3]. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:15, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • David Eppstein, would you mind expanding? WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF#C1 both refer to highly cited, which in turn links to Clarivate which has a very helpful database of what is defined as "highly cited researchers". Falk is not included, so he does not satisfy that part of WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF#C1. Quite the contrary, his absence settles the matter of citations, we now know that (in WP's eyes) Falk is not widely cited. You may of course have refered to a different part of those criteria, would you mind explaining what part of them you think Falk fulfills. Jeppiz (talk) 17:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:AUTHOR is about reviews, not citations. "The primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." The usual standard I use for this is at least four reviews and at least two reviewed works; we are above that. For WP:PROF#C1, the standard is citation counts, as seen e.g. by searching for the subject's name in Google Scholar. Three or more publications with triple-digit citation counts is often good enough, although it depends on field (history of science is not a particularly high-citation field, so that rule should work ok for Falk, but machine learning or high-energy physics would be different). The searches are complicated by results by a different Raphael Falk, a physician, but I see 302 citations for "The concept of the gene in development and evolution", 186 for "What is a gene?", 153 for "The gene–A concept in tension", 124 for "A potential for learning probability in young children", 140 for "Labellar taste organs of Drosophila melanogaster", etc., enough to be convincing to me. Other participants might have different standards for how much is enough. Being listed by some science publishing database with unclear inclusion standards and unclear indexing comprehensivity for this field like Clarivate is neither necessary nor sufficient. Also see WP:BLUDGEON. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:45, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, and I have no intent to WP:BLUDGEON, apologies if you felt that way. As I told Zero, I am genuinely interested in the criteria WP uses for academics; it interests me much more than if the article on Falk is kept or not. If, for example, the standard you propose of three articles with three-digit citations became a general standard, I'd be very much in favour of that. So again, my intent was to hear your argument (not to impose mine) and I appreciate the argument you made. Thank you. Jeppiz (talk) 17:52, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is only a rough guideline and not applicable to all fields. Some knowledge of the citation patterns in different fields is necessary. In this case, in a not-particularly-highly-cited field with single-author publications, it works ok. In other fields, other thresholds would be needed. It cannot be reduced to a simple formula. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:57, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I can see where you are coming from Jeepiz: abstract wiki criteria, almost observed only in the breach, and your own experience as an editor. If, rather than singling out Falk, who happens to have written the only technical book in English on the parlous misperceptions governing a subject careless scholars make productive careers out, a book without which a few wiki articles cannot be adequately rewritten according to scientific standards, you applied your technical objections, there would be a Bonfire of the Vanities all over the place, beginning with 80 out of the 85 wiki Israeli academic bios listed here. Of the 13 I checked 12 failed miserably your wiki criteria. I've never cared for wiki guideline arcana, since arrogantly I think my formative training covers how to write encyclopedic articles. But here I am reminded of what Umberto Eco said in conversation decades ago, along the lines of: most of his research lent itself to publication for a broader public, but there were key topics that, though vital, could muster at best a specialist audience of dozens to hundreds, and there publication was not the point. Take the bio we have of a friend, the late lamented Danny Kane. He'd fail your test, but he was the Western world's foremost expert on two rare and extinct languages, Khitan and Jurchen, and wrote two important monographs on them that only specialists can read. When one studies medieval Chinese history, all sorts of trails lead you to those peoples, and at the end, you'll find Kane's work alluded to. Wikipedia should be as comprehensive as the redoubtable Encyclopedia Judaica, and cover everyone of historic interest. The EJ runs to 20 vols. Were those criteria applied to it, we'd have 4 vols, and people like myself spotting some minor figure without adequate coverage, running to it for illumination, would be frustrated and remain ignorant.

I once had occasion to work for two months on Nicolai A. Vasiliev, a seminal figure for some varieties of modern logic. For decades, he was neglected, and wikipedia would not have covered him, despite several very important notices in obscure journals. We must cater to very wide appetities and curiosities. All sorts of transient figures in the infotainment business get massive coverage, because they can rally any number of journalistic sources, and will be forgotten in a decade or two. Scholars who work at the forefront of their disciplines and write germinal works, should be covered. That excludes vanity bios of academics. They aren't written as often as not because no one has the time or passion to improve stubs or even note them. It's not sexy. I now recall citing David Dean Shulman on the herders of the Hebron hills. An admin challenged the detail and reverted my edit and simply redlinked the name with an edit summary, 'Shulman who?!'. No one had noticed him, despite him being one of the world's foremost Indologists. So I had to write his bio to justify restoring my edit. Nishidani (talk) 20:11, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn Zero, David Eppstein, and Nishidani have all presented reasoned and relevant arguments. I'm receptive of their arguments, but more convinced than ever that WP:ACADEMIC needs to be improved. In previous AfD discussions I've been involved with, users leaned towards "Delete" when established academics had "only" some 10.000 cites, or when they only had one article above 1000 cites (and some 20 articles with 300-500 cites). I also saw a proposal to delete an academic with far above 100.000 cites (although it was kept). I agree with David Eppstein that a simple catch-all formula would not work, as different fields have different practices. However, some guidelines are needed. It is clear that the criteria about impact on WP:ACADEMIC means absolutely nothing. If 'we' can argue that a couple of articles above 100 is enough in one academic AfD, and in another 'we' (not the same persons) argue that 20-30 articles above 500 is not enough, then clearly we don't have guidelines at all. It's just pure random chance who happens to take part in an AfD. In the absence of any applicable guidelines for academics, I thus withdraw the nomination (and wait for it to be closed) but I hope WP:ACADEMIC will be improved. This complete randomness is farcical.

Keep. The article needs major work, so much is not cited, but in the context of this still being discussed as recently as Jan 2023, it seems to satisfy the criteria to be kept "In 2020, there was similar outrage after 14-year-old Romina...." with reference to WP:SUSTAINED CT55555(talk) 15:24, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (replying to the comment below that people aren't making policy based decisions, for the record, I think it's OK to not make policy based decisions) Anyway, for the avoidance of doubt, I think she meets WP:GNG due to the multiple reliable sources with significant coverage, examples include:
  1. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-64319487 (mentions the event, not so much significant coverage, but WP:SUSTAINED)

And none of those address the NOTNEWS or BIO1E issue. Onel5969 TT me 03:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've adequately explained my keep vote, and while you are entitled to refute it, when the nomination to delete is 9 words long, you might want to consider where the onus lies. Nonetheless:
On WP:NOTNEWS
C1 - no original reporting. I asses this criteria as met
C2 - no "routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities". A father chopping his own daughter's head off is absolutely not routine. This criteria is met.
C3 - don't make it about the person. This criterion is probably not met. Which is why I suggested the page move.
C4 - Don't include "gossip" celebrity lifestyle stuff. This criteria is not relevant.
On WP:BIO1E
The guideline helps us decided between an event article or a biographical article. I think the current framing is incorrect. It should be an event article.
In conclusion
In summary, I consider that WP:GNG is met, and that WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BIO1E guide us towards changing this to an event article, but provide no basis to delete it. CT55555(talk) 03:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And you might want to consider the totality of the issues re: NOTNEWS and BIO1E:
Re NOTNEWS:
  • "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events."
  • "Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be."
Re BIO1E
  • glad to see you understand the BIO1E is not met. That means that NOTNEWS predominates, and as for that, see above.
Onel5969 TT me 03:21, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Both your WP:NOTNEWS quotes are relevant. The first one I answer by showing you how the topic is getting coverage a month ago, that's why I quoted WP:SUSTAINED. And I said many times now that this should be an event article, which means we should keep and rename. Likewise BIO1E does the same. I consider these guidelines support my position. Let's avoid getting into WP:BLUDGEON territory by repeating the same points further. CT55555(talk) 03:25, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music, India, and Kerala. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 12:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The creator, additionally, tried to strip the deletion template from the article, with the result that I independently came across it and initiated a redundant second AFD discussion on it for the exact same reasons. So I've already closed that, and am copy-pasting my own deletion rationale here: semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, every musician is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists, and has to be shown to pass certain specific markers of noteworthy achievement supported by a certain specific class of reliable source coverage about him in media -- but this isn't claiming anything that would pass the criteria in NMUSIC, and is referenced entirely to his music's presence on online streaming platforms, and a simple list of the results of a Google search, rather than any evidence of media coverage about him. And even if I switch the Google search to the "news" tab, I only get news articles about monthly COVID-19 statistics in Rhode Island and an article about a Ukrainian child who went missing in Poland, not any coverage of an Indian musician.
    Additionally, this is almost certainly an WP:AUTOBIO, as the subject's real name matches closely to the creator's username.
    As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations site on which emerging musicians are entitled to have articles for the publicity -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be a subject of WP:GNG-worthy coverage in real media. And, of course, the page will have to be monitored for any future attempts to remove the deletion template prematurely. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable footballer created by a block-evading sock.

Nothing is coming up for this defender, which is hardly surprising given that the article claims that he is plying his trade in the Saudi Second Division, the third tier.

Moved back into mainspace with the reason has played for the first team at Huddersfield, and might be about to at Dundee United but does not appear to meet any football guidelines or be otherwise notable yet. Has caromed back and forth between draft and main so bringing it here for discussion. Star Mississippi 01:58, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - probably just enough coverage as shown below, but the Huddersfield Town sources do not count towards GNG. GiantSnowman 19:01, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep In my view there is just enough notability for a weak keep, cite 3 and 4 are not bad. There is some other sources online, but those are more tabloid, nevertheless the amount there gives me credence to want to keep the article. Playing in the FA Cup does give another point towards notability, to say it's irrelevant is just wrong. Notability is not just about the sources, it's also how the sources contribute to each other to build the picture. So many editors seem to forget to overall and focus on the bullet points. Govvy (talk) 13:28, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Per Govvy. @GaintSnowman: There are sources like [7], [8], [9], [10] and [11] among other sources. Young player with ongoing career in fully pro Scottish top flight on loan from English second tier team who he has already played in the FA Cup for, both leagues that receive lots of media coverage. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 19:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment At the moment I would say this is borderline in terms of notability as he has only played on game at a fully professional level. Also his coverage in the media so far is relatively limited. This could change quickly if he starts to regularly appear in the Scottish top flight for Dundee United, although so far he has been an unused substitute.

This page looks alright, in fairness: I've seen a lot of articles involving young players (especially in the English leagues) get created as soon as they make their professional debuts, and then get left in the dust once those footballers fall off the radar back again... At least, this page looks decently sourced and organized, and the fact Ayina is currently playing at a good level (Scottish Premiership) should prove to be even more beneficial.

Previous AfD ended in no consensus and the notability tag from April 2022 remains. Let's decide once and for all if this film is notable or not and either delete the article or remove the tag.

Original AfD rationale: PROD removed with "Take it to AfD, Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema is no mean thing."

However, even if that is taken as a notable source (which it is), that leaves only 1 good source. The others are database sites, a newspaper ad, and a passing mention in another book.

Need more than just the Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema to be notable. DonaldD23 talk to me 03:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep exactly for the same reason it was kept in the first AfD. It's not only Encyclopedia of Indian Cinema, it's also The Indian Express, another book by Ashok Raj. ShahidTalk2me 10:08, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    FYI...the Indian Express link is just an ad for the film. The other book it just mentions it. Neither count towards notability. DonaldD23 talk to me 14:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Donaldd23: I should know that as I'm the one who's added it. I don't think the newspaper, back in 1944, would post ads for non-notable films. But anyway, it also posted a full review of the film. I've added it. ShahidTalk2me 15:57, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    It's closer to passing inclusion criteria, however it needs more input to close as a keep, otherwise it risks the same editor adding back the notability tag. DonaldD23 talk to me 15:41, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Not satisfying NPOL is not grounds for deletion, it only indicates presumed notability is not accorded. Menon is considered a founding member of the AAP,[1] multi-year, independent, SIGCOV, RS available.[2][3][4][5] While these pieces[6][7] are interviews, given the sources, they do confirm the subject has a national profile. I've not looked extensively, but a precusory search also shows material available in Marathi.

No indication of notability: one death and no other casualties, was only attended by two fire engines, article doesn’t mention any form of notability. greyzxq talk 11:53, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep second of a series of deadly hospital fires in Romania during the COVID-19 pandemic. In general there were over 10 hospital fires, though not all of them were deadly. All of this obviously provoked a scandal in Romania. There is a lot of sources talking about these fires [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]. The Socola fire was also reported by major Romanian and Moldovan media outlets [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] (this one is the Romanian national news agency). Note as well that there still were media reports following the fire, see this article from 4 January 2021 [25] (not cited here, that is, there is still more room for expansion). There is no reason why this information should be erased from Wikipedia. Also, number of deaths does not define notability. Super Ψ Dro 12:05, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If these fires happening during the COVID-19 pandemic is the only claim for notability, maybe create an article called Romanian COVID-19 hospital fires or something like that instead. Then you would be able to include all of the fires no matter their notability because the article clearly includes why it is notable. With this specific fire however, it is not notable enough for its own article, especially because there is only one casualty, and it didn’t cause much damage to the hospital because it only went on for an hour. Furthermore, all of the sources you have included are Romanian, meaning it didn’t get much - if any - international coverage. greyzxq talk 12:17, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That it was deadly also adds up to notability. Hospital fires that caused no deaths don't have articles. Super Ψ Dro 13:00, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A fire with just one death isn't notable though. greyzxq talk 13:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not interested in your opinion. Super Ψ Dro 14:05, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge, CT55555 has created a list page for the hospital fires. Apparently there was another deadly fire that I missed, which discourages me a bit on keeping this one as my aim was making pages for all the deadly fires. Also due to the clear support for merge. Super Ψ Dro 08:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:SUSTAINED, contrary to what is claimed above I can not find any evidence that coverage of this fire lasted more than one news cycle, the Stirile Pro TV article is literally just a news report of the event with no new information added, and is clearly part of the same news cycle. Concur that a more general article on COVID-related Romanian hospital fires sounds like a good idea. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:20, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently I got both the link and the newspaper wrong as that Știrile Pro TV is from 25 December 2020. This is what I meant [26]. There's more articles since the initial wave. Super Ψ Dro 14:25, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — nearly all direct coverage was in the first day, with a couple stories trickling in after a few days or weeks. And at just one death, it doesn’t appear notable. However, I agree we should explore an umbrella article about pandemic-era Romanian hospital fires.

  • Delete: This is an article about a very local event which passes neither GNG nor NEVENT. There's no diversity of sources, no lasting impact, and no assertion this tragedy is more important than any other such minor incident. It's fine with me if the phenomenon of Romanian fires due to Covid can muster enough sources as an article to pass GNG, but only if sources are presented the multiple fires have been treated together by RS as notable phenomenon, AND the phenomenon meets NEVENT. I'm not seeing that myself, but my inability to speak the language handicaps me doing a reasonable BEFORE. If this were a similar hospital fire the US, I think it unlikely to meet NEVENT regardless of available RS. BusterD (talk) 22:17, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
