This article fails notability for decade. WP:BEFORE shows nothing and what the currently has is the pdf source at reception. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 22:59, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- As much as I like Nights, I have to agree to the fact that he is not passing Notability right now. I can't find any sources and the current sourcing state is bare. Thus, I have to go with Delete on this. There's just not much worth keeping in this article, there's not even any plot summary or anything. Unless some sources suddenly spring up, it's best to just get rid of this article. Pokelego999 (talk) 01:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- Merge the tiny amount of information here to Nights into Dreams. This is a simple case of “doesn’t need a separate article”. Dronebogus (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Merge into Nights into Dreams as the subject doesn't have independent notability apart from it. Knox490 (talk) 13:08, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to Nights into Dreams - The reception section being based entirely on the fact that the character was a runner up in gaming magazine's "Best of" list is bit of a red flag. Searching for sources only really turn up significant coverage on the games themselves, with no real coverage specifically on the main character that would warrant a separate article. (Also, the main character is named NiGHTS, who is a "Nightmaren" from "Nightopia"? Weren't really trying too hard with the names there, were they...). Rorshacma (talk) 22:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge as WP:ATD, per Rorshacma. The reception is mostly WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs, but there is some verifiable content that might be worth preserving. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:29, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment It's probably hard to document Second Life stuff from over a decade ago, but if we have an article somewhere that talks about digital adaptations of Shakespeare, a redirect could be justified per [1]. XOR'easter (talk) 17:24, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Strong keep. A WP:BEFORE turns up a decent amount of coverage. Subject is frequently referenced as an example of digital Shakespeare productions, there's coverage of their theater in SL, as well as some of their tasks and processes, history and impact. Meets the guidelines of WP:NORG. Google scholar shows several hits of coverage with citations, and this is not sciences so other indexes might show more. [2][3]. Google books also show some distinct hits [4]. Also some coverage in tech news [5]. —siroχo 20:39, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
- Could you be more specific about which of those sources meet WP:SIRS? Thanks. JaggedHamster (talk) 17:55, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sure.
- Scholarly sources
- Learning and Teaching in the Virtual World of Second Life, Pages 151- 152 (scroll up in link, too)] has in-depth coverage discussing their theater, multiple productions, including audience participation etc, and their virtual academy and curriculum. The source is independent, it has 157 citations in google scholar (likely higher in other indexes according to WP:SCHOLAR#Citation metrics suggesting reliability, and is secondary.
- Edinburgh Companion to Shakespeare and the Arts - Page 573 has more than a passing reference, but less in-depth, mentioning their theater and a bit about production process. It's Published by Edinburg University Press so it should be reliable/independent, and is a secondary source.
- Shakespeare and the Digital World: Redefining Scholarship and Practice Page 221 also has more than passing reference, using them as an example of a virtual space where audiences could gather to watch a performances in a virtual theater.
- Education-based scholar-adjacent resources
- "The impact of the characteristics of a virtual environment on performance: concepts, constraints and complications." from Learning in Virtual Environments International Conference. [6] goes extremely in-depth on the effectiveness of the methods used in a performance produced by the company, including images of the company's theater from Second Life. This is a conference journal with several citations so should be reliable. The paper is half-credited to a participant, so it's not fully secondary, but see the sub-bullet below:
- This above paper is also referenced by A Practical Guide to Using Second Life in Higher Education [7]. This book would fully qualify as a secondary and independent source.
- Drama Education with Digital Technology [8] has more then a passing reference, is secondary/independent, and should be reliable based on the publisher Bloomsbury Publishing
- "The impact of the characteristics of a virtual environment on performance: concepts, constraints and complications." from Learning in Virtual Environments International Conference. [6] goes extremely in-depth on the effectiveness of the methods used in a performance produced by the company, including images of the company's theater from Second Life. This is a conference journal with several citations so should be reliable. The paper is half-credited to a participant, so it's not fully secondary, but see the sub-bullet below:
- Non-scholarly sources
- The Unofficial Guide to Building Your Business in the Second Life Virtual World Page 186 describes them in-depth including the quality and care of their theater, troupe and production, and a bit about their sponsorship model/incentives. It's published by the American Management Association, suggesting it's reliable. It appears entirely independent/secondary but it's a bit harder to be 100% sure.
- Scholarly sources
- There are quite a few more, but I think this should be sufficient to demonstrate notability. People take their Shakespeare seriously. It's a bit hard to filter, because it seems a prominent scholar of Shakespeare had initials S.L., but if you perform a search like [9] you should be able to find more. —siroχo 23:48, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

- Comment WP:BIO says
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
, may help in this case? —siroχo 09:56, 9 July 2023 (UTC) - Keep, substantially per siroxo and IdiotSavant. Policy-based rationale follows.First, the applicable rules: WP:NBIO provides that
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject
, and thatIf the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
In turn, WP:SIGCOV states thatsignificant coverage
addresses the topic sufficiently directly and in sufficient detail thatno original research is needed to extract the content.
It also clarifies that the article subjectdoes not need to be the main topic of the source material.
Second, the relevant sources: Among sources cited here and in the article, we have some articles for which Ati Kepo makes up 1/4 to 1/2 of the article topic, and which contain substantial biographical information about him in particular: [13], [14], [15]. As the biographical content can be extracted without any hint of original research, these are squarely within both the letter and the spirit of SIGCOV. We also have some articles in which Kepo makes up 1/4-1/2 of the article topic but which do not contain much biographical information: e.g. [16], [17]. We also have at least two RS articles in which Ati Kepo is the main topic, but with little biographical information: [18], [19]. These latter sources also appear to be plainly within the letter of WP:SIGCOV, although perhaps not within its spirit (since they furnish little in the way of article material). (These latter articles also go to show that Kepo is "notable" in the colloquial sense of "important", which is not relevant under policy but for some reason has often proven relevant to AFD outcomes.)Conclusion: Even applying the rules with the greatest rigidity (which is rarely required), this article still qualifies under NBIO because the article subject hasreceived significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject

Article is about an obscure group, which appears to fail WP:GNG. Cited sources include: [1] An article that briefly mentions it in a long list of Spanish neo-fascist groups. [2] An article about a town that its founder is from. No information is given other than the founder's name and the group's name. [3] A blog post from the group itself. [4] An article that only briefly mentions its existence and describes it as "only active on the internet". [5] A book that I can't find anywhere. Nothing in Worldcat, nothing by Googling, nothing in my local library. I'm unclear as to if it even exists. [6] An article that mentions it had vandalised some articles on Spanish Wikipedia.
I checked the Spanish Wikipedia to see if I was missing anything, and found the article on this group had been rapidly deleted in 2008.[20] So all we can really glean about this group from reliable and verifiable sources is that it was an online group that called itself a "party" and vandalised Wikipedia. As it has not received significant coverage in reliable sources, I think this clearly fails general notability guidelines and am proposing it for deletion. Grnrchst (talk) 21:17, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

This article is about what appears to be a rather obscure group. The only cited reliable sources is a Publico article, which briefly mentions that it registered itself from a basement and that its website didn't work. (In a broader article about small newly-registered parties) Its other sources are to an anarchist aggregation website, which is in both cases scraping from self-published posts on a Basque anti-fascist blog. These posts only document a couple cases of stickering and graffiti by this group.
As it appears to fail general notability guidelines, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources, I am proposing this article for deletion. Grnrchst (talk) 21:27, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Fails WP:NBASIC - no significant, in-depth coverage. This person is no more notable than a CEO of some random company, who might also have similar minor mentions in several publications. ---Avatar317(talk) 22:39, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - leaders of major labor unions are generally notable, certainly far more so than a CEO of a random company. There are many more sources than those already in the article; for example, this entry in the West Virginia Encyclopedia. Having died in 1999, not all relevant sources will be online, but see for example an obituary here. Warofdreams talk 23:30, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- He should be mentioned in the ATU and AFL-CIO articles, but I would say he is WP:1E being his one job, with no special stated accomplishments. Since he is dead, I don't see how this tiny article will ever be any more than the smaller-than-a-stub article that it is now, which to me means it shouldn't be an article, but a sentence or two within two larger articles. ---Avatar317(talk) 23:57, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Leading a labor union is not one event, it is a prominent role held over a longer duration. While it's a more prominent role than leading a similarly sized company, using your argument, being a CEO of a major corporation is not one event in the meaning of that section. Maroney is mentioned in the ATU article, but that in no way prevents us having an article on him. As the provided sources show, there is more which can be said about him, but like many articles, I've started one off as a stub, to which other people can add.

- Keep. Being leader of a large labor union, and vice president of one of the largest unions, would seem to establish notability. I don't think this is what 1E is talking about—leading a labor union is not an "event" that might be better chronicled in another article. This article is hardly "smaller than a stub"—many stub articles are shorter, and this article has more details than many stubs. Being a stub is not itself an argument for deletion, so there is no argument for deletion based on the size of the article. And the fact that the subject is dead is certainly not evidence that there is no potential for expansion—if it were, all articles on historical figures ought to have been deleted as stubs as soon as they were started! But even if it's never expanded significantly, it would still be substantial enough to keep. P Aculeius (talk) 10:20, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The combination of all of the following I believe is grounds for deletion. The information on the article seems to be, while probably true, unverifiable and likely original research. There would be notability if the topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. As it stands, the article about the A236 highway does not showcase such significant coverage. A geographical feature would be considered notable if it's covered extensively in reliable sources beyond just maps. The A236 does not fulfill this criterion as it only provides the basic route information (and there is no other available info to add from other websites); perhaps a numbered roadway would be acceptable if it could be described beyond the route itself. (E.g., historical, social, or cultural significance.) However, the article on the A236 highway does not offer any information beyond the basic route. This road has not been the subject of multiple published secondary sources that provide significant coverage. Chamaemelum (talk) 22:08, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Also, is there a way to mass-nominate similar articles? There are other (not all, but some) highway articles created by the same user that merely connect two other (also usually un-notable) highways and are not notable or discussed anywhere outside of maps or Wikipedia mirror sites.

- The categorization of a highway as a 'national' one should not solely be based on the fact that it is located within a nation's borders. A 'national highway' typically refers to a road network maintained by the national government (indeed, A236 is a federally built-road within Kaduna State) and that has strategic importance to the country's economy/defense/mobility. The A236 highway only connects two other roads and does not have any national significance. The road is not mentioned in works discussing Nigeria's national highways, such as here or here. It is only mentioned in lists which also contain F-class roads. F-class roads, such as F127 or F252, are also federal roads, but they are not notable like A236 and thus do not have articles. Indeed, neither F-class roads nor A236 exist on Yoruba Wikipedia, in contrast to, say, A1. In the best case, auto-generated content, blogs, maps, or Wikipedia mirrors do not establish notability. For example, Trongsa - Gelephu (PNH4), a primary national highway of Bhutan, does not have an article (along with many others) despite being a national highway. Do you have a reliable source that establishes A236 as a notable national highway? Chamaemelum (talk) 23:01, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

In unitary states, most highways would be national highways, but that doesn't mean they must have standalone articles with disregard to WP:V and WP:GNG.

I found sources more relevant to A236 than the three above. If you believe these merit the road's inclusion, then let us reroute the A-series roads to the common name most closely resembling the road (this would cut off chunks and may add segments of various parts of almost all the legally-defined roads), and also we should add all the F-series roads.

As we have found over 15 or so years, such designations are going to be notable. Arguments about different classifications (F-series roads) are inapplicable to this discussion and off-topic. The nominator seems to be in a rush to judgement and discounting various sources found under alternative names, indicating that a proper WP:BEFORE inquiry was not conducted. Sources have been found, thus this article should be kept. Imzadi 1979 → 17:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- While legally designated, it is not notable and no one in Nigeria refers to highways with the legal name. We should instead delete this article and make articles on the relevant stretches of the highways, which often combine multiple segments of different legal highways, with common names. In fact, in the above text, no source has been given about the article. The note about the F-series roads is to say "I'd imagine it's obvious that all the F-series should not be included, and there is no meaningful difference between the F-series articles and the A-series, therefore it would also be logical to conclude that being an A-series road should not automatically warrant inclusion."

This is one of three professional organizations for librarians in Bangladesh. In 2008, it was PRODed by Ragib, then de-PRODed by DGG on the grounds that "National societies for major occupations are encyclopedic." Fifteen years later, the article still cites no sources. And WP:NORG has evolved considerably. Now, in addition to being national in scope, non-commercial organizations need to have received significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources.
Primary source news mentions it occasionally, usually as an organizer of a specific event (lecture, seminar, workshop, training, etc.). Otherwise, extensive searches, including of WP:TWL, and in Bengali as well as English, found only a single paragraph about them in Libraries in the Early 21st Century.

This artist does not seem to meet WP criteria for inclusion per WP:GNG nor WP:NARTIST.

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
SourcesA book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
- The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

The review provides 310 words of coverage about the subject.
The review notes: "Harmony uses Queenie’s charms to cajole clues out of the cat-loving local librarian and an elderly nursing home resident. Arthur has his own role to play, which includes a stint in the local pound and some heroic tracking. The narration by scheming cat and clueless hound is hilariously spot on. ... Appealing characters, a vivid setting and a well-crafted plot inspired by booze-smuggling of the Prohibition years make this series launch a winner."

The review provides 270 words of coverage about the subject. The review notes: "However, it makes for a slow unfolding of the mystery and much obvious authorial manipulation to get the animals where they need to be to overhear vital facts; compounding this problem, although they both speak perfect English to readers, they can’t even communicate with each other. The cast is default white. Fans of Quinn’s previous work may enjoy the new character set, but there are too many fine furry detectives out there to spend time with these two."

- Keep It's in its early works, so it is a bit messy and needs some sprucing up. It does pass WP:GNG with the LA Times article, Rolling Stone article, and even the POPSUGAR article. It's also notable. Conyo14 (talk) 22:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep Agreeing with Conyo14. This being said, the draft is already quite advanced and pages should be merged as soon as possible to avoid the same work being repeated in different places.-MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 22:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- I also agree with that. Conyo14 (talk) 23:02, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- For both of you, according to the guidelines here, there shouldn't be an article on a future film as long as its shooting hasn't yet begun. There is nothing about this film that makes it different from other future films that are still "brewing" in the drafts space and not in the main space. Bamba9898 (talk) 23:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you for this reminder, but at reading Conyo 14's comment, I am quite certain they had kept this guideline in mind. There are however exceptions to the NFF, which I am sure you know:
"RARE exceptions to guideline WP:NFF are allowed to be considered IF the coverage of the topic of a planned film is itself enduring and persistent in multiple reliable sources and over an extended period (thus dealing with violations of WP:NOTNEWS), and either there is too much verifiable information in an article (whose topic is "discussion about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur"), to be reasonably placed anywhere else, or a suitable target for a shorter article does not yet exist."
- (Wikipedia:Planned films (essay)) I think this film project is one (based on the coverage it has received, is receiving, and, most likely will continue to receive). In short: "General notability>>Film notability". -MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 23:21, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- The first sentence of WP:NFF says: "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date." There are reliable sources to the existence, the plot, and actors, hence the article passing WP:GNG. Conyo14 (talk) 23:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- The point here is, I think, that even if the "film" remains a project, there's already enough to make it notable.-MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 23:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Half of the DC and Marvel projects and many other big projects that are producing by important studios (such as Warner Bros. and Disney) are also stand in the conditions you mentioned, so why aren't they in the main space? As there is no source confirming that their principal photography has started yet.
- From the short time I have been here, I have come to see that there is a general agreement that as long as filming has not started, there is no place for an article in the main space, and hence, this film, with all due respect to the reliable sources it has (like the other articles that are in drafts at the moment), is not an exception and should not be so.
- Even at the draft itself mention:
- "Please note: This draft should not be submitted for review or moved to the mainspace until filming has begun, per WP:NFF. The filming start date is currently scheduled for January 2024. Please see the draft for more information." Bamba9898 (talk) 23:42, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you but I had already mentioned NFF above and I have read the draft and its note. Also I never thought filming had started. It did not and that was perfectly clear from the start. As to why there are no other exceptions to NFF in the Main, I don't know, create them if you are sure they are notable enough, but we are here discussing this film project notability in particular not a general state of Wikipedia.
- The essay I quoted mentions (allow me to repeat again the original bold capitals) RARE exceptions to NFF, under certain conditions. Again, I think this is one and will leave it at that, thank you. -MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 00:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Even if there was consensus that this film was one of the rare exceptions that did not need to wait until filming has begun, this version of the article should still be deleted so the earlier (and much better) draft article could be moved to the mainspace. - adamstom97 (talk) 22:56, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- The point here is, I think, that even if the "film" remains a project, there's already enough to make it notable.-MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 23:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete or Redirect Per WP:NFILM, this film does not meet the general notability guidelines for a mainspace article at this time, and will do so once filming begins. At which point, the draft would be moved, this article will be forgotten about. There is no point in redirecting it as we already have the Superman: Legacy redirect to DC Universe (franchise)#Superman: Legacy (2025), where most coverage of this should remain until the draft is ready for a move. This should not be made an exception to the policy, especially since the draft is more developed and extensively worked on. To add onto that, this version of the article does not satisfy the reputable coverage over an
extended period of time
as the Planned films essay (which from my understanding should not override or overrule Wikipedia policy, only to help inform) states would be required for a rare exception. As the policy states in the section on future films:Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date. The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production. Until the start of principal photography, information on the film might be included in articles about its subject material, if available. Sources must be used to confirm the start of principal photography after shooting has begun.
Allowing this article, which is undoubtedly a stub, to remain as a rare exception would set a precedent for similar future film articles to be made prematurely. We already have the draft that has existed far longer than this with adequate coverage, although any move attempt for that is likely to be rejected to uphold NFF. This could easily be redirected to the DC Universe entry for it if others want to preserve what little edit history exists, though this title will not be used as the inevitable page title in the long term. Trailblazer101 (talk) 00:29, 4 July 2023 (UTC) - Delete or redirect per WP:NFILM, which says that films must have started principal photography in order to be in mainspace. There's already a well developed draft at Draft:Superman: Legacy. Plus, this is the incorrect title, because it should be at simply Superman: Legacy, since there's no disambiguation needed —which would also be incorrect here, as the proper disambiguation would be either
(film)
or(2025 film)

- Speedy/strong delete This shouldn't be a controversial request, this is textbook violation of WP:NFILM — not an essay nor local consensus, but an actual notability guideline that has been thoroughly vetted by the community for years. It is exceedingly rare for a film to be granted an exception, so rare that I cannot think of an example off the top of my head. It would be astonishing and against longstanding consensus if this AfD closes as keep or no consensus. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:50, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not to mention that (a) the article title is improperly formatted, it should be just Superman Legacy; (b) it duplicates Draft:Superman: Legacy, which has existed since 2018; and (c) it is so poorly formatted, WP:TNT would probably apply as well. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:52, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per Trail, Facu, and Infinite. Completely fails WP:NFF, which is a guideline. There's a reason the draft is being created, so that this "notable" info can be added and built upon as it is revealed so the article is ready to go come production starting in January 2024.
The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks—there is no "sure thing" production.
- Favre1fan93 (talk) 20:57, 4 July 2023 (UTC) - Delete or redirect per comments above. It has long been established that standalone film articles wait for production to begin (usually this means principal photography commencing). In the meantime, the limited information gleaned from sources can exist in articles covering broader topics, such as DC Universe (franchise) where coverage already exists. The "rare exceptions" called out above is for situations where there is "too much verifiable information" to reasonably fit as a subtopic in an existing article. That doesn't apply here, nor has a strong case been made to demonstrate that an exception exists. --GoneIn60 (talk) 02:18, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article. Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect... Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. (Emphasis in original)
Furthermore, the sources are mostly from Canada and UK. This does not appear to have global reach. Since its occurrence, it has fallen from the news cycle and has not made any notable or lasting impact (yet). If/when this goes to trial, or if there are parliamentary hearings about it, then it might meet NEVENTS.

- Support. While crashes involving 16 deaths aren't terribly common, we do, at least from my experience at ITN, see at least one roadway incident with more deaths come up once every month, namely bus plunges, which many I've encountered suggest are not even noteworthy enough and tend to run 30+ fatalities at a minimum. Really, this article doesn't substantiate the significance of this event. For example, the "Road incidents in 2023" template contains related events, all of which are either significant for speculation of intent or involved higher fatalities or a similar number of fatalities with numerous injuries. Also the article compares this event to the Humboldt Broncos bus crash, which is, I daresay, a poor comparison, as the Broncos crash was a heavily covered event by comparison due to the fact that it involved a [junior hockey] team.

- Weak keep - I think it's a good thing that people are finally nominating these crash articles for AfD, as ITN may finally be able to figure out how to approach NEVENTS/NOTNEWS. As the one that posted this article to ITN, I believe it was the right call at the time (I'm less convinced now...). This one appears slightly more notable than the others recently nominated. I note that this might simply be due to Western bias in the available sources, but with ongoing investigations, this may actually pass WP:LASTING. Anarchyte (talk) 08:26, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

To add to that, this was covered by the New York Times twice and by Reuters. There isn't just Canada and UK coverage here. Reuters and NYT don't write about random crashes in Canada -- nor does the BBC or The Guardian, for that matter; they generally don't care. --TheSandDoctor Talk 14:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - I'm clearly in the minority here to think these articles are absolutely unwarranted and prime examples of what NOTNEWS is meant to prevent. That the event is covered by a UK outlet means little; unlike with paper newspapers where the was limited space, most news now is just copy-paste from other outlets with minimal thought. All they want are clicks and tragedy generates clicks. The same issue is seen with various shootings. These areas tragic blips in the stream of history that almost never hold up to WP:10YEARS. Why my fellow editors view these as encyclopedia-worthy is beyond me. /rant

- Though you didn't cite WP:10YT as your reason for deletion, I feel compelled to go on a /rant of my own: WP:10YT should not be misused as though it is a notability guideline. It specifically states
Just wait and see. Remember there is no deadline, and consensus can change later on. Editors writing today do not have a historical perspective on today's events, and should not pretend to have a crystal ball. This is especially true during a news spike, when there is mass interest to create and update articles on a current event, regardless of whether it may be historically significant later on. Also, editors updating an article affected by a current event may not necessarily be the same ones participating months (or even years) later in the clean-up and maintenance of the page. Above all else, editors should avoid getting into edit wars or contentious deletion discussions when trying to deal with recentism
. The 10 year test should not be invoked in deletion discussions as it effectively says the same thing as WP:RAPID. What it really says is that, while everything that happens recently may feel inherently more important, the 2020 US election article for example does not need to be significantly longer than the 2000 US election article. It's a suggestion for avoiding recentist bias, nothing more. Much like with NOTNEWS, the way 10YT gets thrown around bears little resemblance to what it actually says, and this has increasingly started to bother me in AfD discussions.
Anyways, Keep per SIGCOV and GNG, and per the comments of TheSandDoctor. There's no shortage of secondary sources to indicate sufficient notability. Vanilla Wizard 💙 19:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per WP:RAPID. Coverage appears to be substantially ongoing even two weeks on, with discussion of possible policy changes as a result of the event. (One might argue that two weeks is already persistent, although I think the better practice is just to wait awhile longer and see how things look with benefit of hindsight.) On the broader issue of whether we should be welcoming articles like this, in the past I have been happy to sign up to the idea that we need to get these articles out of the project because they are fundamentally unencyclopedic and take resources and attention away from our core work. But I have found my convictions on that subject shaken by the quality of the collaborative work that is consistently done on these articles, and which has also been done here. If you want to see the wiki process at its best, it seems that current events articles like these are where you need to look. Driving contributors who know how to do this kind of work off the project is about the last thing we should be doing. -- Visviva (talk) 01:30, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

If an editor is citing news coverage as GNG, then their ability to evaluate sources should be called into question. If the only sources you can find about an event are news coverage of that event, that's a good indication that you should not create an article for it.

- Since when are articles from news organizations considered not secondary sources? That's a heterodox interpretation of the notability guidelines I've never heard of.

Can you point to any language in the notability guidelines to support this perspective? Vanilla Wizard 💙 19:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Currently an unsourced BLP.

- Delete - Based on my searches, I do not think there is sufficient support for notability in independent, reliable, secondary sources according to WP:CREATIVE or other notability guideline. For the book, the Publishers Weekly review is through the BookLife program: "BookLife Reviews are a service provided for a $399 fee ($499 for books over 100,000 words). There is no fee to submit your book to PW for review consideration." The website for the book also links to a Readers' Favorite review - based on the website, this does not appear to be a reputable source, e.g. the description of reviewers and the pricing scheme. At the WP Library, there is also a mixed review from Library Journal (Vol. 121, Iss. 11, (Jun 15, 1996): 86.) ProQuest 196779981 with an editor's note "Kramer has been featured in Family Circle and on Oprah; librarians should expect publicity and commensurate demand." The questionable independence of the BookLife and Readers' Favorite reviews seem to undermine the notability of the book. For her work as a producer, at Playbill and Broadway World, Slab Boys is the only role listed; the 1983 review in the New York Times is mixed and mentions her in a list of credits after the review: "The Laura Shapiro Kramer and Roberta Weissman production presented by Paramount Theater Productions, in association with Jay D. Kramer." The 1982 NYT source in the article is about Robert Allan Ackerman and describes future plans for Slab Boys - Kramer is only mentioned: "The producers are Paramount Theater Productions, Laura Shapiro Kramer and Jay Kramer." Overall, it does not appear possible to create a balanced biography with the available sources. Beccaynr (talk) 04:27, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak delete The nominator makes a compelling case for deletion, although Kramer has received some coverage of her work and career over the years. Other editors should weigh in here about whether it is enough and substantial enough coverage to merit keeping the article. I lean on the side of delete, but am open to other points of view from additional editors (or additional reliable source citations). Go4thProsper (talk) 13:04, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Article about a non-notable author and lawyer. Sources are definitely not WP:RS. Being a lawyer at the supreme court does not confer notability except if such person were a judge.

The article has been reference bombed with a mix of unreliable sources such as IMDB, and Wikipedia itself, and reliable sources which only mention Vishnu Venu as producer. The closest thing to significant coverage is this Zeenews piece which is just a republication of a Venu social media post.

While this character seems to be generally notable in MacGyver, I can't find any secondary sources that aren't just recaps, listicles, or passing mentions. I don't believe the article passes SIGCOV as it stands, especially since as of right now, the article only cites a few primary sources as its entire source list, not to mention that all information regarding this character is already in the general character list for MacGyver.

Very odd and confusing WP:INDISCRIMINATE WP:COATRACK article; basically a severely bloated disambiguation for vehicles named bluebird that also attempts to discuss the Campbell family who drove them and ALSO attempts to discuss the record-breaking nature of the vehicles.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 14:41, 3 July 2023 (UTC)- Merge to the Malcolm Campbell article, there just doesn't seem to be much sourcing for each vehicle alone. What they accomplished is notable, but we don't have much discussion outside of the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 15:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep It seems entirely natural to me to have an article on the highly notable topic of a series of notable vehicles: boats and cars all called Bluebird and intended to break (and breaking) world speed records, operated by Malcolm Cambell and, later, his family. I'm personally perplexed why the article causes difficulty. If it was a navbox it would pass without notice but it is far better as an article. Thincat (talk) 15:32, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as per Thincat - although perhaps it should be renamed Bluebird record-breaking vehicles as per User:A7V2, which would allow for expansion of the useful content. Merging to Malcolm Campbell doesn't make much sense since Bluebirds were built by four different members of the Campbell family. Mr.choppers | ✎ 18:55, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep A (Personal attack removed) nomination by someone who's obviously read nothing of the content here. Do you really not see what the connection is through record breaking and the Campbell family? Andy Dingley (talk) 20:03, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - According to Salon (2010), "in 1995 [she] became the first woman hired to write for Conan O'Brien (and before that, the first woman to write for the original 1993 "Jon Stewart Show")," and I have added references and some detail to the article about her career, but have not found a lot to help develop this article. However, it looks like there is support for WP:CREATIVE based on her work as a writer, including due to the 6 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Writing (which also seem to support WP:ANYBIO notability) for her work on Late Night with Conan O'Brien; she was also a lead voice actor on Home Movies for several years.

- Redirect to Storm Constantine. This may be notable, but this needs to be demonstrated. Kirkus Reviews is a capsule review, and what I see at ISFDb is a likel decent source (Locus Magazine) and then three minor magazine and one fanzine reviews. So while this might pass NBOOK, someone needs to improve this article - and if this doesn't happen, a soft delete by redirecting until this is done will help. As things stand, this article lowers Wikipedia's quality by being a pure plot summary. This is not how encyclopedic articles should look like. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:47, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Because Sea Dragon Heir is part of a series, I wonder if it would be beneficial to create a wikipage for the series, which would include the information currently on the SDH page. In addition to the reviews listed above, the final book in the series, The Way of Light, also has a review from Publishers Weekly. Looking at ISFDB, it looks like other books in the series also have reviews from Locus, too. Significa liberdade (talk) 17:24, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Edit I've looked over the Storm Constantine page, and a lot of her work is focused on the Wraeththu stories, which includes novels and short stories. According to her page, the stories have a cult following (though there isn't a link). I wonder if it would be worthwhile to have a page for the Wraeththu stories, which includes the Sea Dragon Heir trilogy. Significa liberdade (talk) 17:49, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
SourcesA book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
- The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.
- Murphy, Brian (April 2000). "Sea Dragon Heir". Realms of Fantasy. p. 73. Retrieved 2023-07-05 – via Internet Archive.
The review notes: "For the Fantasy reader who wants everything fantastic, Sea Dragon Heir has it all. Courtly politics, plots within plots, mystery, romance, sex, magic, monsters, and gods. But Constantine overlaps bits and pieces of this tale, turns things upside down, oftentimes confusing the reader in the best of all possible ways. Sea Dragon Heir is the first of three novels concerning the Lords of the Fire Drakes and the Lords of the Sea Dragons. This book is highly recommended to those of you who love a bit of meat on the Fantasy bone and are willing to approach, and sometimes cross, any and all existing borders, boundaries, and even taboos. Enjoy."

The review notes: "Constantine's new fantasy setting is finely textured, full of fierce and powerful magic, compelling characters and tangled intrigues. It should draw many new readers to the already crowded ranks of her fans."

The review notes: "Constantine's latest novel, the first in a projected trilogy, evokes an atmosphere of tragedy and dark sensuality. The author of Wraeththu extends her gothic appeal to classic adult fantasy in a tale suffused with magic and madness."

The review notes: "She gives birth to twins, Valraven and Ellory, and in an out-of-body experience learns that Foy is weary and only wants to die. Caradore must achieve freedom by another means. A carefully plotted, beautifully detailed fantasy family-saga spoiled by a thin, trite storyline; the midstream point-of-view switch doesn't help."

The review notes: "For a start, Constantine really can write. To create a prose which is both lush and sensual on the one hand, and taut and economical on the other — the story moves much faster than is common in this genre is no easy task, but Constantine manages it with ease. The characters — Pharinet in particular — are not flat hero-and-villain figures but complex individuals, while the plot is no hackneyed Tolkien rip-off but genuinely intriguing. Incest figures prominently, and there is real darkness. It's all a long way from David Eddings. It's perhaps even hip — in the best sense, of course."

- A lot of, shall we put it politely, mendacious media is reporting that the library was burnt down, when in reality all that happened was some external fire damage to the building and windows being smashed: not a single document was destroyed or damaged because the protesters failed to enter the building. Look no further than the third source (https://interviewtimes.net/riots-in-france-continue-for-the-third-day-as-rioters-burn-down-the-largest-library-in-marseilles/) claiming it has "burnt down" when that never even happened. In light of this, I fail to see why this article is necessary considering it was such a minor event, to me all it does is help promote a conspiracy theory. I think this article should be removed, and possibly replaced with an article on the library itself.
- The library is set to re-open next week, there was some damage to the exterior of the building and some glasses got smashed, but considering we are dealing with riots, I fail to see how such an event of minuscule magnitude has any relevance for Wikipedia? The very first line said that "the building was heavily damaged by a large fire", which did not happen, this wasn't the Notre Dame fire. --Dynamo128 (talk) 11:48, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Oh and, well, I forgot to vote. Delete, of course. --Dynamo128 (talk) 15:01, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Strong Delete. The framing of this article is textbook blatant WP:POV bordering on deliberate hoaxing. Examples:
At the time of its arson, the library was one of the biggest in France, containing nearly a million documents.
This is clearly meant to imply to the casual reader that a million documents were burned.The window of the library was smashed. But, the protesters failed to completely destroy the library.
Not only is this crucial info buried near the end, the wording infailed to completely destroy
is self-evidently unacceptable for an encyclopedia.- As pointed out above, the sources are all unreliable and even misleading. The only reliable source, the BBC, doesn't mention the library at all.
- In short, damage to some windows and exteriors of a building is not even remotely notable, and can be covered in a sentence in the main Nahel Merzouk protests article. 〜 Festucalex • talk 13:00, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I completely agree with you. Yes, the Alcazar was attacked, but the damage was minor and external. It's very worrying that it happened at all, but far worse things have happened in the past few days (like the attack on the house of the Mayor of L'Haÿ-les-Roses).

- What in the world are you talking about? Breitbart is considered an unreliable source and its usage is not permitted on Wikipedia. If you think we are all "blinded by leftist bias" (whatever that even means) then I don't think you'll have a very good time with this site's policy on sources. --Dynamo128 (talk) 20:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- I cited the Breitbart style with this article in mind: "Revealed: 1,000-Man Mob Attack Police, Set Germany’s Oldest Church Alight on New Year’s Eve." (Can't link directly as the link as the site is blacklisted, but here's some context: [44]). A sensational and inflammatory lede is followed by content saying that's not what really happened. A stray firework from New Year's Eve celebrations set a small fire that was extinguished in 10 minutes. In the case of Alcazar, "badly damaged by a large fire" is both sensational and grossly hyperbolic. The following statement, "protesters failed to completely destroy the library," is more factual only because the rioters only vandalized the exterior. A citation in the article says they expect to reopen in a few days. Barely rates a one-sentence mention in an article about the protests. Again, Wikipedia is not a soapbox. • Gene93k (talk) 02:01, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Per nom. and pretty much everyone above, the page as it is is clearly not fit for purppse. The keep !vote and another suggest a move and repurpose, but this is back door deletion, in any case. If we change the article and pretty much all the content, it is a delete by another name. There is a definite case for an article, based on the French article, per Necrothesp, but reading that article shows the little history that has been written here is wrong and needs a healthy dose of TNT. The building was a theatre until 1966. It was not repurposed as a library until 2004. So creating an article is fine, but this article needs deletion. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:36, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment I have created a page, Alcazar (Marseille), translated and sourced entirely from the French article, save one reference to the recent fire which I found myself in Le Monde. The French article tone is a bit off in my view, but for the initial translation I tried to stick to it faithfully to preserve attribution. Copy edits from this point on to make it more encyclopaedic are welcome. Creation of that article does not change my view that this one should be deleted. Nothing in this article can be merged into that one, as anything beyond the one line of text from the French article on the fire is undue, and the history on this page is wrong. Editors might wish to consider redirect as an alternative to deletion, but I oppose that because I don't actually think the subject of "Alcazar Library arson attack" has anything but ephemeral significance. People are not going to be searching for this in the future. Yes, redirects are cheap, but this one is really not necessary. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- Very good, I was going to attempt a translation myself once I returned home only to see it has just been taken care of. Thank you kindly. I completely agree with you that, even though redirects are cheap, this is a case where an outright delete is the better option.

Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:
SourcesA book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:
- The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

The article notes: "Shelterbelts tells the story of a Mennonite community breaking open, as traditional beliefs and modern values collide. The schisms in the community reach a turning point when a non-denominational mega-church opens on the edge of the rural village. Shelterbelts weaves together scenes from the community — a pastor and his queer daughter contend with lost parish members, a librarian writes prescriptive notes in books for her patrons and young activists fight with a farmer over pipeline construction on his land."

The review notes: "Shelterbelts is a quiet ode to rural Mennonite life that feels right—not because it is praise, but because it is honest. Dyck’s novel is a mirror and a prism, a provocation and a balm. It honors what is good, and it confronts what is not. This book bears witness to a profound yet ordinary hospitality toward the neighbor, to the kind of social fabric and relational economy found in less populated places. "

The review notes: "Dyck wows with his ability to convey unmistakable emotions and personalities in lightly detailed character drawings. Flashbacks nestled inside outer panels create an unusual, but rewarding, swerve within rigid panel layouts. Fans of Craig Thompson’s Blankets will welcome this nuanced portrait of faith and community."

The review notes: "While faith is front and center, Dyck also forces readers to confront the history of setder colonialism, with one Metis character challenging claims of land ownership while protesting ou pipelines. The combination of wide-view landscapes and careful attention to each character's facial and bodily expressions make it easy for the reader to imagine themselves inside the world of the story. A poignant, expressive comic that will appeal to fans of Blankets (2003), by Craig Thompson."

The review notes: "The Mennonite influence in Manitoba runs deep, and that’s reflected in Shelterbelts by illustrator and cartoonist Jonathan Dyck. This collection of graphic short stories, which were originally published as individual comics, weaves together a narrative set in a fictional town that feels quite familiar."

It was an event in the history of republicanism in Scotland that was attended by notable people and was notable for being in opposition to the monarch's involvement in politics. It was also something I wrote many years ago as my first article I started on wikipedia so it would be personally disheartening to see it go, but the reason I wrote it yet remains : it was a notable event that had, before I wrote it, no previous mention on wikipedia, so I created the article. This notability of the event remains and as such the page should be kept. Boleslaw (talk) 09:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

The review notes: "No Dessert Dad adheres strictly to the point of view built into the title that of kids goofing on short-sighted oblivious parents but the meandering narrative creates the feeling of something made up as it goes along, much as a four-year-old might tell a story. This, coupled with largely infantile humor, leaves the queasy but vivid impression that this is a film written not only for kids, but quite possibly by kids. None of this will is likely dissuade the post-linear, computer-driven, cybergarten audience, but it promises to be slow going for anyone over the age of 10."

The magazine notes: "Howard McCain filmjében, melynek eredeti címét - No Dessert Dad Ti You Mow the Lawn-fordíthatjuk így is: Papa, nuku süti, amíg le nem nyírtad a füvet, minden együtt van, ami egy kellemes videós estéhez kell egy famíliának: átlagos amerikai család három rossz gyerkőc- cel, szeretetre méltó apával- anyával, akik normálisnak is jók, de azért a gyerekek kihasználják a kínálkozó alkalmat, hogy egy kicsit átformálják őket, lesz, ami lesz. Már az alapkonfliktus is igazi amerikai találmány: apu-anyu le akar szokni a cigizésről, és ez, ugye, egy komikus filmben a szereplőknek egyedül nem megy. Igy hát Carol és Ken (Joanna Kerns és Robert Hayes) önszuggesztióra épülő magnó- szalagokat vásárol, hátha az majd segít. És a történetnek ezen a pontján alkalmazható az ősi fogás: ahelyett, hogy a szülők leszoknának a dohány- zásról, a gyerekek kaparintják kezükbe a hatalmat, és a hipnó- zis erejével kezdenek el uralkod- ni szüleiken, sőt, egy idő után egymásra is kiterjesztik a kazet- ták áldásos(?) hatását. Tökéle- tes képlet egy vígjátékhoz."
From Google Translate: "In Howard McCain's film, whose original title is No Dessert Dad Ti You Mow the Lawn, we can also translate it as follows: Papa, nuku cookies, until you mow the lawn, everything a family needs for a pleasant video night is together: an average American family of three with bad children, with lovable fathers and mothers, who are also good for normal, but the children take advantage of the opportunity to reshape them a little, what will happen will happen. Even the basic conflict is a true American invention: mom and dad want to quit smoking, and that, right, is not the case for the actors alone in a comedy film. So Carol and Ken (Joanna Kerns and Robert Hayes) buy autosuggestion tapes to see if that helps. And at this point in the story, the ancient technique can be applied: instead of the parents giving up smoking, the children grab the power and start ruling over their parents with the power of hypnosis, and after a while, they even extend it to each other. the beneficial(?) effect of cassettes. A perfect formula for a comedy."

The review notes: "This rare foray by producer Roger Corman into PG territory is a surprisingly reprehensible family film. When a brother/sister duo accidentally discover they can manipulate the self-hypnosis tapes of their parents (Robert Hays and Joanna Kerns), they use this knowledge to get everything they want. The movie is never able to justify this pseudo-rape of the mind, even when the siblings' tape manipulation becomes unselfish (at least as far as they're concerned). Though the premise may not bother children, they might share their parents' discomfort, not just at the film's cold tone, but also its attempts to find humour in cat faeces and cracks about incest."

The review notes: "Cute fantasy about a bunch of kids who find that they can hypnotise their parents. The conceit is obvious. The kids then can do unto their parents what all parents historically have done unto their kids, like refusing a treat before an onerous task is completed. Hence the title. Justin Cochran is sick of being ignored by his parents, who are just too busy to spend time with the kids. So he implants messages in their self-hypnosis "Stop Smoking" tapes and finds that he has true power. Of course, the parents will eventually wise up to the scam. Mildly amusing."

Egészen addig, amíg ki nem derül a csintalanság. De minden jóra fordul, sőt még jobbra."
From Google Translate: "Children persuade their parents to quit smoking. As a method, parents listen to a self-hypnosis tape. The children realize that they can use the suggestive power of the tape to make their desires come to the fore. Soon everything will turn upside down. Until the foul play is revealed. But everything is getting better, even better."

The review notes: "A certain winner in a strange title competition, this fantasy comedy has parents Joanna Kerns and Robert Hays trying to quit smoking using self-hypnosis tapes. Angered by their parent's lack of attention toward them, their kids switch the tapes and find they can manipulate the situation. This harmless fare has its moments, some of them funny."

Routine coverage. KT Network of Khaleej Times is a paid article, Gulf News article sounds like a press release with a proper byline (i.e. author). Fails WP:NCORP. US-Verified (talk) 02:22, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

- There doesn't seem to be a valid reason for the deletion of the article on Hanif Jewellers & Watches, as the content maintains a neutral tone and is supported by several reliable references. Upon conducting a search for their Dubai store, I discovered multiple articles, such as those from The News International and Retail Jeweller World, which further substantiate the existence and significance of the company's international expansion.
- The claim that the KT Network of Khaleej Times article is paid seems unfounded and lacks supporting evidence. The articles found in my search, including the one from The News International, do not appear to be paid promotions but rather independent reports. These references contribute to the credibility of the article and reinforce its relevance.
- Additionally, the assertion that the Gulf News article reads like a press release merely because it includes a proper byline is unsubstantiated. Bylines are commonly used in journalistic writing to indicate the author responsible for the article. The presence of a byline does not diminish the value or legitimacy of the content.
- Considering the aforementioned reputable references and the neutral tone of the article, it is evident that Hanif Jewellers & Watches meets the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Therefore, the claim that it fails WP:NCORP (notability guidelines for corporations) appears unfounded and lacks substantial support. In light of the available evidence, I kindly request a reconsideration of the decision to delete the article. The presence of multiple independent references, such as those mentioned above, should provide sufficient grounds for the article's retention. Thank you for your attention to this matter

Routine mentions, fails WP:GNG. US-Verified (talk) 01:43, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep — The subject is covered by multiple sources independent of him. We can argue that some of them do not cover him in-depth, but that doesn't make all his sources "Routine mentions". Even his primary sources are from CNN, Yahoo News, and Bloomberg. He is already mentioned within other existing Wikipedia articles. Two of the companies he co-founded already have articles: Archer Aviation and Vettery.71.187.190.229 (talk) 15:52, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Adcock has pioneered notable companies such as Archer Aviation (that have developed air taxis used by United Airlines) and Figure (which is developing an AI robot), as noted by reliable sources such as TechCrunch. [47] The article, which passes WP:GNG, could be expanded from its present form, rather than being deleted. desmay (talk) 20:32, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per above. Notable executive and founder of two highly notable companies, Vettery and Archer Aviation. Meets WP:SIGCOV since he has been cited in multiple top-tier newspapers and publications. Batmanthe8th (talk) 16:25, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep He is the inventor of an eVTOL aircraft that is being used en masse by major airlines, such as United Airlines, as seen here. The subject easily passes notability and WP:GNG. Hkkingg (talk) 21:32, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment The editor who nominated this article for deletion has a COI and is apparently biased towards the subject. How do I know?

- Delete - The subject of this draft does not satisfy any of the musical notability criteria, at least not as the article is written, and the article should speak for itself. It may be too soon in her career. There is also a draft, Draft:Teya Dora, which appears to be identical to this article. The draft should be left alone and can be improved, and can be submitted for AFC review when she satisfies one of the musical notability criteria. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:21, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- The artist has currently over 1,7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Definitely not "too soon" in her career. The artist does not fulfill all of the musical criteria, but saying she satisfy none is wrong.
- For example,
- All the sources listed has been published by independent Serbian or other Balkan media.
- The last source I listed showed this artist having her single at 6th place at the Billboard's Croatia Songs chart.
- As she is also a songwriter and spent much of her career being so, she has gotten credits for writing songs for other Balkan artists, and even songs for the Serbian national competition for Eurovison. Aleksandarstankov (talk) 18:06, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - The first version of this article was moved to the draft space by User:Onel5969, and was later rejected by another reviewer User:Robert McClenon with similar reasons. --Fumikas Sagisavas (talk) 15:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - I did not reject the draft. I declined it. There is a difference. It can be resubmitted when expanded. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - An article should speak for itself. If she meets any of the musical notability criteria, the article should say so, rather than just telling the editors in the AFD that one of the sources provides that information. The reader of an article should not be required to read the sources. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for tips on improvements. This is the first page I created, so I'm still learning. I have added more text and source on the artist's achievements on national chart. Aleksandarstankov (talk) 01:13, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting as all opinions offered occurred before additional sources were added to the article. There was a request for more evidence of notability and now that this has been provided, they should be evaluated to see whether or not they are sufficient for establish GNG.
