Comment - it appears that for some reason, this page was never listed in the appropriate deletion categories. Paul Vaurie (talk) 23:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Vaurie, the nominator is responsible for identifying potential sorting categories. That's why the form asks you to identify topical areas involving the subject of the article. It's important not to skip filling out this section of the nomination. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 06:35, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Liz: Thanks Liz, but I'm not that clueless - I clearly included the categories "Music" and "United Kingdom" above when I nominated the article. However, I think that a technical issue occurred - I don't understand why the AfD didn't go into the categories. Perhaps I reloaded too quickly when I submitted the query with the XFD Twinkle thing.

Keep: This article passes WP:GNG as I can see the coverage on reliable and independent sources like this from The Fader, this from Clash (magazine), this one from Hypebeast (company), this from Culture Custodian, which is also a reliable website used in more than 500 wiki citations.

~~Reads like an advertisement, notability and verifiability thresholds not met. Pecopteris (talk) 07:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Delete per nom, It is clearly not notable, a WP:BEFORE search delivered no usable sources. The article content is, at best, merely an WP:EXIST description sourced entirely from closely related web pages. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 10:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I second it, as the guy who brought the article in question on Treehouse. I think that the article was hopeless to make it adhere to Wikipedia standards in the beginning. My alternate opinion was to make the article a redirect instead but I don't know if it's necessary. Signed, Lucss21a | Talk | Contribs 16:11, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Those all look pretty decent. However, "Armbian Ubuntu 23.04 can now run on Lenovo X13S Arm laptop" looks kinda like a primary source because of its wording but I wouldn't toss it yet. (Who knew there were so many Linux websites) ✶Mitch 199811 ✶ 11:47, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but only if somebody knowledgeable does something useful with the article. Otherwise, it should be reduced to an external link in the article on the ARM processor family... (The link mentioned would be to the project's main page.) Autokefal Dialytiker (talk) 12:26, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I see that the article has been significantly altered. In my opinion, the current article, while in need of expansion, no longer reads like an advertisement, and meets both notability and verifiability thresholds by linking to multiple secondary sources. Perhaps this AFD should be closed?

I don't want to do that unilaterally at this time, since I'm the one who opened the AFD, but if nobody closes this or objects in the next few days, I'll probably go ahead and do so. Pecopteris (talk) 23:09, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @Pecopteris, the procedure you want is nominator withdrawal, but note that this requires persuading all delete supporters to change or rescind. 2406:3003:2077:1E60:2CDD:52B2:24E4:FE55 (talk) 15:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pecopteris, since you are the nominator, and your nomination counts as a Delete vote, it would be best if you crossed out your nomination statement (or part of it) and place this vote underneath your nomination statement. Right now, it looks like you voted twice so one of them has to be crossed out. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:47, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strike vote, I assume this is going to get deleted. The organization is over 100 years old though, in-depth coverage from back then would be difficult to find.

List of large aircraft

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list has no encyclopedic value. "Large aircraft" are defined by aviation authorities such as the FAA and ICAO, and basically include all the airliners, transports, flying boats, bombers and oddballs of any significant size. The class of large aircraft is huge and this list will grow endlessly over time. But it has no cohesion other than a bureaucratic designation. These types are better listed (if at all) within the various more familiar classes I just mentioned, such as the List of airliners by maximum takeoff weight.

There is already an article on large aircraft, covering their characteristics, history and so forth. It includes a historical list of the largest built, so there is no mileage in repurposing this list article along such lines.

The previous AfD in 2014 got tangled up while these and other issues were being figured out, and failed to reach a consensus. Now that things have settled down for a few years, it is time we revisited the matter. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 16:48, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - potentially far too large and WP:INDISCRIMINATE a list to have any encyclopedic value. - Ahunt (talk) 17:16, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Size of a list is not a valid reason to delete it. List of aircraft list dozens of lists of aircraft divided in alphabetical order. And it is not indiscriminate since it only list aircraft that US Federal Aviation Administration classifies as large, and which are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles.

Keep. Meets WP:NLIST per "Further reading" section in the article. Has very clear inclusion criteria (FAA and EASA definitions) of three types. In the current list, every item is bluelinked to an article about the entry, so even within the relatively clear and strict inclusion criteria, this list is far from indiscriminate. This informational list allows readers to compare length, span, maximum takeoff weight, and other characteristics, so meets WP:LISTPURP. I'd be willing to help split out the "Lighter than air" section as it sort of confounds this list, but it may be able to be included with some work. I think an editorial decision to merge the Large aircraft § Largest built section and this list would be reasonable, but it is not necessary as an AfD outcome, at the moment they are built differently and such a merge will require a deeper familiarity with the pages in question. —siro χ o 17:45, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I participated in the last AFD back in 2014‎. This article has far more things listed than the other article does, and more columns showing additional facts as well. There are hundreds of lists of aircrafts in Category:Lists of aircraft and its subcategories. This list has useful information, not just a list of names, so is more useful than most of those, and only list aircraft of a certain type. Dream Focus 18:02, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clearly meets NLIST per above, a valid topic for a list. I don't have any problem with a merge request, but this shouldn't be deleted. SportingFlyer T·C 18:14, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with large aircraft, there is already a fair amount of overlapping. Jan olieslagers (talk) 18:20, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to large aircraft per above. Neither article is particularly large. Referencing is needed (and bolding explained - most probably record holders) for the fixed-wing table, however. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:16, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: OP here. I'd be happy to see a merge back in to the main article. The current "list of large aircraft" still only includes types which were largest in some way; neither its title nor its inclusion criteria reflect that, and those two things are what really need to be abandoned. But for the merge to happen, it needs to be recognised that the list of Largest built is going to dominate the criteria of what gets included and what gets dropped, and that will mean dropping role-specific stuff such as the heaviest military hang-glider, or whatever. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:28, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - but change title to List of largest aircraft, (just like List of longest ships). - wolf 09:32, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Definitely Encyclopedic value and whilst the list contents (correctly) overlap other existing lists, this article/list provides unique value for those searching for this information. I don't see the value in a merging with other (admittedly very related) articles, but perhaps a discussion on a examining if there is a better name for the list. (For my opinion, I agree with @Thewolfchild above, and then it would benefit from intro paragraph describing many different ways to quantify "largest" (the longest ships list is only about 1 aspect of ships: length), not sure what the most ideal word is here though (Record-breaking? Of exceptional size? Notable? (<- last one is not very encyclopedic) ) DigitalExpat (talk) 06:18, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As I said at the deletion discussion for the similar and related MTV Satellite Radio, this interview with XM's circa-2005 executive VP of programming that includes a question about why XM decided to drop these two channels (which is irrelevant for determining notability, of course) might be enough to warrant a brief mention at VH1 (and source the listing[s] at XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels), but the miscapitalization of "Vh1" [sic] leads me to conclude that retaining this title in any form isn't ideal. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 21:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Miscapitalization"? I'm old enough to remember the era (early to mid-2000s) when this was the parent network's on-screen spelling. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 06:56, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The search function is treating VH1 Satellite Radio (and also Vh1 satellite radio) exactly the same as our title, so it has good functionality. StonyBrook _babble 04:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to XM Satellite Radio channel history#Defunct channels. As Wcquidditch said, this is similar to the MTV radio discussion (now closed as Redirect) since VH1 was a sister channel to MTV with similar programming. All I could find are passing mentions that mention it as part of the XM lineup without going into any significant detail about them. And since the target article now includes links to both MTV and VH1, the reader will understand exactly what kind of content the satellite channels rebroadcast, without any need for this article. But it is a redirect with history and therefore should not be deleted. StonyBrook _babble 03:58, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cast members were arrested, got into brawls, and, as explained on “Reunion Road Trip,” relieved themselves all around town."

  The article notes: "This four-part limited series draws to a close with “Back in Scrubs,” an hour devoted to the cult medical sitcom that ran from 2001 to 2010, first on NBC, then on ABC. Leading players Zach Braff (J.D. Dorian), Sarah Chalke (Elliot Reid) and Donald Faison (Christopher Turk) embark on a quest to find Rowdy, the show’s beloved — if taxidermied — dog. As they look back on their “Scrubs” years, they run into other ex-colleagues, including Judy Reyes (head nurse Carla Espinosa) and Robert Maschio (Dr. Todd “The Todd” Quinlan)."

List of Irish-American communities

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list was a fork from Irish Americans in March, 2006, and as far as I can tell it's never passed WP:LISTN at any point since. The selection criteria are ambiguous, and only Boston is sourced. I don't think it can be sourced reliably without some kind of criteria, but editors have never reached consensus on that question. ~T P W 20:05, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Indiscriminate list without clear/consistent/verifiable criteria. No indication if or how WP:NLIST would apply. Certainly no indication that the list members have "been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". I mean, what do Fackler, Alabama and Burien, Washington have to do with each other?

Yoblyblob

Speedy Delete The creator of the article (Yoblyblob) is using Wikipedia as a way to showcase a random youth league; they are likely a parent or ref. Wikipedia is not a place to have your schedules and information shown. It is an encyclopedia that contains the research of reliable topics. There are no sources that provide WP:GNG to the article and I seriously doubt that there would be. There are plenty of free websites that one can use to show their rec league info.

List of NASCAR drivers

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list attempts to list NASCAR drivers for all series. It's become bogged down and is overly broad (WP:SALAT), with some sections not being updated for years. Additionally, it cites no sources (WP:LISTPEOPLE), which has been an issue for over a year per the warning template. Additionally, this info already exists and is generally kept updated on each NASCAR season's page. glman (talk) 15:44, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people, Motorsport, and United States of America. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Undecided. It's unencyclopedic to have a dynamic list only for the latest season. The list should then be split according to season so that the content would not be of a transient nature. However, we already have articles about seasons, which would make this restructuring pointless. Therefore, I lean delete.—Alalch E. 16:07, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is fair. If the list were a list of all NASCAR drivers, by series, by year, it would be theoretically better. That would basically be an entirely new page/pages though, and would likely also be massive, unless divided by season. glman (talk) 17:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Undecided. While a current list of NASCAR drivers is helpful as a research result, that information can be found in the current seasons Wikipedia page. I believe it would be more helpful to restructure the page into a list of all NASCAR drivers ever, as opposed to this current season only. The lack of sources and lack of updates in multiple sections is another issue with this article. Quantum7021 (talk) 03:26, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because it's likely useful for readers as a common research ask. Incompleteness is a legitimate issue, but organic development of the list is naturally likely to favor inclusion of noteworthy members while tending to neglect the less noteworthy. Sandizer (talk) 19:53, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the issue is that the list is of the current season, past drivers are removed (theoretically) once the season is over. If the list were of all drivers, I think your argument is valid. glman (talk) 20:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have no opinion on the deletion of this list but it was created in February 2001 in Wikipedia's very early days by Jimbo Wales and some might find the discussion about it on his talk page interesting. Graham87 04:46, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing. Deep history there. glman (talk) 13:28, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Disambig-ify I agree that the current state isn't worthy of keeping, so I propose making the page into a disambiguation page for lists of drivers by season/country/whatever consensus decides is most useful. Frzzl talk; contribs 10:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would support this change and be willing to help create new pages. EDIT: or would it fit better as a list of all notable NASCAR drivers of all time, as per User:Quantum7021's suggestion? The current listed then could be other lists. For example, "List of current NASCAR Cup Series drivers". glman (talk) 13:29, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I support this change as well, with the inclusion that the list is changed to be a full list of all drivers to have competed in the sport, up to and including the current season. All seasons, beginning in 1949, have a section with information relevant to that season, such as the number the driver was in at that time, number of wins, top 5s, tops 10s, etc. Quantum7021 (talk) 13:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I worry this would end up too long as well, as we already have a all-time wins list, and many drivers had multiple numbers. Having 75 sections seems far too long and broad for a list. glman (talk) 14:15, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I do not believe this should be deleted. An organizational scheme similar to the one present at Lists of National Basketball Association players would probably be better for aiding navigational purposes in this area (Note: List of NBA players redirects there and List of current NBA team rosters is a subtopic).
How we get there isn't particularly important, whether it's by moving this page and restructuring, or redirecting it once an appropriate target is in place, or through a more complex set of actions. Regardless, the title is not inherently unsuitable even as a redirect, so deletion isn't the right action here. I would hope that even if others feel otherwise, and do not believe the page title should exist in mainspace, they would at least consider userfying this or pushing it to some projectspace subpage given the history here. 74.73.224.126 (talk) 03:08, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and (potentially) Split: I don't believe it's overly broad, and the list, while perhaps a bit long, can be split for easier maintainability. Secondly, while each NASCAR series season's page has a list of drivers, the way they present the two are very different with this article focusing on the statistics of the driver over simply listing the actual teams. The fact that it's unsourced as of right now is also not a reason to delete as membership can easily be shown by anyone with a search engine. Articles are kept on the existence of sources, mind you. Similarly, the fact that some sections are rarely updated is likewise not a reason for deletion. All these problems are fully surmountable, leading me to vote to keep. Why?

Central Sierra League

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

None of these leagues meet the relevant notability thresholds. It's likely that WP:NCORP applies, but even the lower threshold (in terms of source independence) of WP:GNG is not met here. In fact, none of them have any independent sources that provide significant coverage of the individual leages. Articles included in this nomination per WP:BUNDLE are:

Central Sierra League
County Metro League
East Sequoia League
East Sierra League
East Yosemite League
~~Hi-Lo League~~ Some coverage seems to have been found for this, likely necessitating an individual nomination.
High Desert League (Central Section)
North Sequoia League
North Yosemite League
South Sequoia League
South Yosemite League
Southeast Yosemite League
Southwest Yosemite League
Tri-River League
West Sequoia League
West Sierra League
West Yosemite League

Redirect all except Hi-Lo League to CIF Central Section: Most of these leagues do not meet WP:GNG or any other notability criteria. However, there appears to be enough WP:SIGCOV about the Hi-Lo League due to the geography of the conference. [[9]][[10]]. Per the previous Afd, redirect all of the others to CIF Central Section. User:Let'srun 16:34, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

* Keep This is an obvious effort to wipe out this entire swath of content; to remove from Wikipedia the league structure of this geographic section of California. It then sets a precedent to wipe out this type of content across all the other regions across the country. Each of these leagues carries an equal status of the qualification path to section championships. In theory, over time, eventual champions will be fairly evenly distributed. Some teams and perhaps their leagues will excel under certain conditions for certain periods of time but this includes all sports over an extended period of time, at a minimum this leaguing structure will last a few years but most follow similar structure for decades. Some of these schools have existed and played sports for over a hundred years. All of these and all other similar leagues WILL qualify under WP:SIGCOV. How can I make such a statement? Because there are newspapers, broadcast media and sports specialty media everywhere in the USA. They want to sell their content. Sports is a staple of news content. Any media wishing to claim local significance has to cover the local high school sports teams, each of which will participate in these leagues across a variety of sports for championships year after year. The content has to exist. Under WP:N it would be called "presumed." Since I don't know this area well, I Googled a random league. I took Southeast Yosemite League. Here's [11] a Bakersfield Californian article about the relatively short history of this league and the long term build up to its formation. MaxPreps defines the league for football here [12]. Here's [13] baseball coverage, cross country and track coverage [14], basketball coverage [15]. And here is the wider metastasis. A kid from the league goes to college and plays in Missouri, so they mention the league in which he was a leader [16] and note this is from a previous incarnation of the league with different team structure. There are pages of results under the league name which can be found with very little effort. WP:BEFORE says before you delete, put in the effort to look. It's there. If you don't feel there are enough sources in each article, use your editing skills to put it in for your own satisfaction, rather than taking an uninformed effort to damage Wikipedia by deleting content you do not understand. I suggest this entire nomination be removed. Trackinfo (talk) 19:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Trackinfo That Bakersfield Californian article looks like WP:SIGCOV to me, but it's not enough to meet WP:GNG on its own. Your comment suggests to me that expanding the content at CIF Central Section with that source and splitting into a stand-alone article if additional coverage is identified in the future is a very reasonable path forward. Can you say more about why you oppose a redirect here? Suriname0 (talk) 20:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all except Hi-Lo League to CIF Central Section I agree with Let'srun that these don't meet WP:GNG, except possibly for Hi-Lo League which has significantly more coverage. As such, Hi-Lo League should be considered separately, but nothing is lost from redirecting all the others. If any of the others are found to meet WP:GNG in the future, they can always be recreated then and only then. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:38, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - although the redirect arguments are technically correct, I'm finding Trackinfo's IAR argument very compelling. I am not recalling the specifics, but we had a similar discussion about athletic conferences in a Great Lakes state several years ago that closed as a Keep. Google isn't the end of the available information as we all know. High school athletic programs in general are subject of great interest to the general public (at least in the US and Canada) and are generally covered very well in local media. Conferences are the framework of most of the competition. Things like foundation, termination, schools joining and leaving are going to be covered in some depth by the local paper and in most cases will get a mention in the state athletic authority's newsletter or blog and may even be the subject of a short blurb in USA Today or The Sporting News. In a practical sense, having articles on athletic conferences allows us to report athletic history in individual school articles more completely without cluttering them up with what are in the worldview minor information. We can just link to the conference article for that. In almost every case, it is possible to provide the readers with considerable verifiable information on, for example, yearly championships referenced back to the conference's website.

So, the TLDR version of the above is: there's a weak Keep argument based on presumption of local coverage and a compelling IAR argument based on utility. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 16:45, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I carried out searches for these nominations, but I also based this nomination on 1. the deletion of the referenced previous AfD and 2. my assumption that the situation would be substantially identical for all these cases. It's already been shown that at least one of the nominations shouldn't be considered with this nom, so I struck that out in the list above. I weighed the benefits of individual noms against the very high workload that those individual noms would have put on the limited resources of AfD. If it turns out that there is substantial difference between these leagues in terms of notability, individual nominations may be necessary, though.

I'd also like to address what Trackinfo said.

This is an obvious effort to wipe out this entire swath of content; to remove from Wikipedia the league structure of this geographic section of California.

I don't quite understand the accusatory tone of this. Large swaths of articles on inappropriate topics are frequently created (primarily by new editors) and often subsequently deleted if the community finds them to be inappropriate. Remember that Wikipedia is not a directory. The argument that All of these and all other similar leagues WILL qualify under WP:SIGCOV directly contradicts WP:CRYSTAL. Notability requires verifiable evidence, and editor analysis that a subject will certainly become notable in the future is unverifiable. Calling this nomination an uninformed effort to damage Wikipedia by deleting content you do not understand is unduly accusatory and hardly civil. I understand your argument, and the bundling of these nominations may not have been the best way to go. But it was well-intentioned, and I would appreciate some civility as we figure out how to proceed with this. Thanks for your work and your time.

I'm sorry this took me so long, I had other obligations rather than to spend hours on wikipedia. I shouldn't have had to do it for you. I believe I have added at least one source or more to each article listed above. As predicted there is local media coverage of each league. I tried to keep sources limited to discussing the league, specifically the All League players, which would be the kind of seasonal, routine league coverage I had predicted would be there in my earlier comments. That coverage goes back year after year if you want to follow it. This is the "presumed" coverage the notability standards refer to. Its there for every one, and for those pushing for a precedent to wipe out such leagues globally, its there for any scholastic league you look for. If any local media were to ignore the local sports, it would be a death sentence. If you don't find it for virtually anywhere in the USA, most likely it is your incompetence at google. Outside of USA, your media quality may vary. In addition to the wide view of the league, there is coverage of competition in the various sports administered by these leagues including national sport-specific media. Each school also self promotes the progress of their teams, measured by their place in league standings. If you press this, we can load these articles up with all of these other sources. That wouldn't be appropriate for an encyclopedia with a broader view. Pay attention. Sources exist and this quest for deletion should not. If you had looked, this "discussion" shouldn't have existed in the first place. That is what WP:BEFORE says. And the repeated failure of NOMs; to make nominations before looking for sources, is why I take such a condescending attitude. Trackinfo (talk) 21:56, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no independent significant coverage that meets the requirements set out at WP:GNG. All I can find is, he was twice caught in the news. First, for his involvement with some land deals that reached litigation that just happened to involve a football club, which is what the news was actually interested in. And second, when it was found that a block of flats that had gone viral for its "squalid" conditions was owned by him. I feel silly having to say this, but neither one, nor both together, should be enough to qualify a person for an encyclopedia entry, even one as inclusive as ours. Also, we should not be creating an article about otherwise non-notable people to list out bad things about them which were not severe enough to make them famous and result in massive court cases that find them guilty. And he is otherwise non-notable. Remove those two incidents, and we are left with zero secondary sources. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:16, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but that Echorouk Al Yawmi article is about a different Mohamed Amine Hamia ([17]), and I don't believe it would be in-depth coverage if it did actually cover this footballer as it just names the leading goal-scorers through 11 rounds of the 2016-17 season with very little background. I found an interesting article in Al-Ahram ([18]) that is essentially a match report/match preview, but it's not simply routine coverage as it shows an competing club paying attention to Hammia in the 2018-19 CAF Champions League group stage. I suspect there's more to find, but I'll have to dig a bit. Jogurney (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not really a distinct genre. During a short interval in the early 2000s it appears that this phrase circulated a little bit, but overall, nowadays, such games are categorized as action-adventure games. The notion of this hybrid genre named in this way this also conflicts with how a game like Myst is not a "first-person adventure" (a game of this hybrid genre, i.e. a first-person action adventure), but at the same time it is a first-person adventure (a first person adventure game, and it is often described using those words).

** First-person adventure as an adventure game of the [[walking simulator]] subgenre of such games, played from a first-person perspective
* First-person adventure as an [[action-adventure game]] that combines first-person shooter elements with adventure game elements

@Alalch E.: Commenting to say that the verbiage used in the proposal does seem to be veering on the side of WP:OR. How did you assess the DAB list entries? Would those pages make mention of the genres being "first-person" adventure games? As it stands, none of those three articles really highlight the first-person aspect, although there is a "Category:First-person adventure games" which could possibly come in handy. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 07:48, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Utopes: Would those pages make mention of the genres being "first-person" adventure games? The DAB proposal doesn't call "First-person adventure" a genre, as it isn't a genre. Player perspective (first-person, third-person etc.) is not a defining characteristic of a genre when adventure games are concerned. Two of the three dabbed articles do say as much, mentioning the attribute "first-person" to say that there are such games in this player perspective, among others (emphasis mine in examples):

Graphic adventures are adventure games that use graphics to convey the environment to the player. Games under the graphic adventure banner may have a variety of input types, from text parsers to touch screen interfaces. Graphic adventure games will vary in how they present the avatar. Some games will utilize a first-person or third-person perspective where the camera follows the player's movements, whereas many adventure games use drawn or pre-rendered backgrounds, or a context-sensitive camera that is positioned to show off each location to the best effect.
— Adventure game#Graphic adventure
Comment: This was the target of the former redirect; the links to the redirect in articles directed players to the content that explains the classic adventure genre, as was intended, but this was broken with the restoration of the content usurping this relationship and causing nonsensical linking, see my comment further down

They are distinct from graphic adventures, which sometimes have free-moving central characters, but also a wider variety of commands and fewer or no action game elements and are distinct too from text adventures, characterized by many different commands introduced by the user via a complex text parser and no free-moving character. While they share general gameplay dynamics, action-adventures vary widely in the design of their viewpoints, including bird's eye, side-scrolling, first-person, third-person, over-the-shoulder, or even a 3/4 isometric view.
— Action-adventure

/no mention of "first-person", but it should be added/
— Walking simulator.
Comment: It is not original research to say that walking simulators may have a first-person perspective. The article fails to mention this, but it should really be mentioned, as it is more of a prominent characteristic of walking simulators then of adventure games in general and of action-adventures. The games the article takes as examples are adventure games with a first-person perspective: Dear Esther (that article: "Dear Esther is an adventure video game" /fails to mention the first-person perspective/), The Stanley Parable (that article: "The Stanley Parable is a story-based video game /vague about the genre/ ... The player has a first-person perspective, ...), Gone Home (that article: "Gone Home is a first-person adventure video game"), The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (that article: "... is a 2014 horror adventure" /fails to mention the first-person perspective/), Firewatch (that article: "Firewatch is an adventure game played from a first-person").

@Alalch E.: Hello! Firstly, I didn't intend that "first-person" was included in the genre. To my understanding, the genre is "adventure games", and "first-person" is the modifier.

When I bring up the current WP:OR, it says in the proposal that: First-person adventure refers to the following types of video games. I'm mainly just asking the question of: is there any evidence to suggest that "first-person adventure" is what ANY of these types of games are referred to as, and whether this referral has any basis beyond "it's an adventure game that is in first-person, therefore it's a first-person adventure [game]". None of the articles refer to any variations being described as a "first person adventure", nor is there any coverage about the significance of an adventure game BEING in first-person besides passing mentions that they can be [in first-person], which is akin to most other game genres.

In the first source you linked for the walking simulator portion, "first-person" was only brought up once as a passing mention. In the second source, it is talked about a lot more extensively, but it calls this topic a "first-person walker", which is at least specific for walking simulator games and could possibly exist as a redirect. Still though, my concern is that none of these adventure game articles really cover the "first-person" nature apart from passing mentions tucked among a collection of camera angles and perspectives. Would there be a difference between this and third-person adventure, or side-scrolling adventure, or 3D adventure? (3D adventure happens to already have a dedicated subsection at the adventure game page). In any event, my point is that I don't think a DAB page with this title is going to be very useful for finding relevant content, because it's not a topic that is really discussed in detail on any of these pages, nor is there much to suggest that "first-person adventure" is a significant description of anything beyond an adventure game with a first-person perspective.

@Jay, Steel1943, A7V2, 2NumForIce, J947, Pppery, Jc37, Freedom4U, Skarmory, CycloneYoris, and Edward-Woodrow: You have participated in the RfD which restored this article over the redirect, and the article is now nominated for deletion (which was also suggested in the RfD, but note that all participants have been pinged), so you may want to weigh in on deleting or keeping the article; other options include finding a better target in this AfD and converting the page into a DAB.—Alalch E. 15:05, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You should also be aware that restoration introduced multiple entirely inappropriate links to articles about adventure games played from the first-person perspective such that the reader is informed that, say a game like Amerzone is a first-person shooter–adventure hybrid when it has nothing whatsover to do with shooters (see also this diff; and another example; and another). So the RfD made a mess. —Alalch E. 15:44, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DAB sounds good to me. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 22:37, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have returned the article to its roots. After doing some research I was able to definitively conclude that this was originally a fan-POV article about one tiny aspect of Metroid Prime. See the original revision from 2004. It was due to sheer confusion and name ambiguity that editors began editing it as if it was about anything else, which is when it mutated to be about nothing really. Seeing that it was truly terrible, it was redirected and this redirect was semantically repurposed to target an entirely different topic (a mention of the first-person perspective in our coverage of classic adventure games), but the RfD nominator, participants, and closer, not understanding that the redirect was somewhat justifiably repurposed in this sense, seeing its more recent history whereby the blanked content was about a supposed genre, and seeing how this supposed topic did not match the topic at the target, restored this terrible content over the redirect, reinstating the article. Erroneously, as what resulted was a bunch of wrong links, which I cleaned up. Now that it's clear what this article's subject actually is, a non-notable phrase, I as nominator stick to my initial deletion nomination, but, a redirect to Metroid#2002–2009: Metroid Prime and Game Boy Advance games (contains the following mention: Nintendo stressed that it was not a first-person shooter but a "first-person adventure".) could be a valid ATD. I no longer intend to pursue proposed DABbing, but I am not against it either. —Alalch E. 14:40, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What it originally was has less than zero bearing on what should be done with it now. Many pages on Wikipedia were originally something else.

Disambiguate: I'm actually surprised that walking simulator discusses this category of games, and the content doesn't appear here. It strikes me as an error as this is the name for the genre that doesn't carry negative connotations, as per WP:NPOV and WP:ARTICLETITLES. But instead of fighting for several moves/renames, disambiguation is a good first step. I'd expect this to give me the information seen at walking simulator, and there may be some people who expect it to refer to more action-adventure games that are played from first person. Shooterwalker (talk) 21:20, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguate or redirect in the alternative. There is at least one secondary source, but it's not significant coverage. There is potential for ongoing use, so I would not delete outright. Bearian (talk) 15:20, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikigrannies

Nominated here because PROD was contested.

Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion apply to articles about Wikipedia and Wikipedians as much as any other. As this is an article about Wikipedia editors written by Wikipedia editors, there is clearly a conflict of interest to be aware of. The PROD was removed entirely legitimately but only (I assert) because a PROD can be removed for any reason – the explanation given included It's a very notable group that plays great role in promoting Wikimedia Movement and Wikimedia Values wolrdwide. More over, this effort counters the m:Gender Gap which is one of the biggest tasks for the movement, which clearly points to a COI and a non-neutral point of view – those are not of themselves valid reasons for retaining the article.

Notability is neither inherent or inherited. For the group to be notable, significant, independent and reliable coverage of the group itself is required. What I see is riding on the coattails of Wikipedia’s notability. The article should therefore be deleted. Dorsetonian (talk) 06:09, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I see references from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Komsomolskaya Pravda, among others. I think the references already present in the article are enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:58, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Radio Free Europe article appears to be about someone who has created an automated Bashkir language poetry generator and which briefly says this group was asked to help. The Pravda article appears to be describing an initiative by the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs (Russia) to preserve Russian languages and I think it is recognising the Bashkir Wikipedia and this group as part of that. I agree these are both reliable sources independent of the subject, which is part of the WP:GNG requirement. Neither of these articles is about this group and I certainly do not see evidence that the first is anything like the also-required significant coverage. I had also discounted the second but maybe a Russian expert could help assess it better. Even so, WP:GNG says that multiple sources are generally expected and I am not yet persuaded that the group itself is notable. And given the inherent WP:COI, notability has to be beyond doubt, IMO. Dorsetonian (talk) 17:23, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What is an urge to attack grannies? Wikimedia Movement values urges us to be generous and to develop Wikimedia Movement. Wikipedia has no firm rules and Wikipedia is not in favour of gaming the system. You are trying to delete grannies no matter what (despite ~20 sources present in the innocent article). You are trying to fetch all possible rules just to delete, delete, delete -- this totally contradicts with WP:SPIRIT of Wikipedia.

But there IS coverage, and more than once and more than twice. This is fairly enough for creation work and there is no need to fight that. There are legitimate articles with only 1 source, and here we have ~20 sources. As a Wikipedian, you should support and praise that. This is for the goals of Wikimedia Movement. By putting efforts into deletion of it you and others go against global Wikimedia Movement. Why do so? Why go against global Wikimedia Movement and struggle to remove? To save server space? To punish me? To punish grannies? -- ssr (talk) 08:48, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I recommend you remain civil. An article existing because "it's a part of a global movement" isn't a reason itself to keep the article, nor is the 20 sources (WP:NOTEBOMB, WP:MASK, quality over quantity).

I'm remaining neutral, but As this is an article about Wikipedia editors written by Wikipedia editors, there is clearly a conflict of interest to be aware of... seems 'silly', almost like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Human. Nobody is being "punished" here, we're attempting to achieve consensus. NotAGenious (talk) 11:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As user Liz said above — "this seems like a silly subject to bring to AFD". Bringing this to AfD was really silly, so we have to talk silly talks here. I would recommend cacelling the nomination so we are not forced to silly talks. 20 sources is a very sure reason to keep the article. "Quality over quantity", you say? That's excellent, let's work on quality! But we have to keep the article before that. -- ssr (talk) 15:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"A conflict of interest to be aware of"—no doubt. Well, we are aware. But this is not a reason for deletion! Some fixes? More text? Point me out all the issues with the text so we can work on it. But the article should be kept in any way. Promoting Wikimedia Movement is a goal for ALL OF US. This kind of activity is (and should be) encouraged by the commnuity. Conflicts should be fixed, but movement should be promoted in any possible ways: so that keeping the article is a way to promote movement (article is notable and sourced enough), and deleting the article is a way to harm the movement. Why should we harm the movement? I won't do that. -- ssr (talk) 15:40, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. User:Liz evaluated the case absolutely correctly: this was really "a silly subject to bring to AFD". User:Dorsetonian did really a silly thing. Please keep the article and ask him to do no more things like this. All this is counter-Wikipedian activity. This should be stopped immediately. Please do it. --ssr (talk) 09:22, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While I might support having articles like this on the project, that highlight the work of groups of editors, I think think this was a good faith AFD nomination and Dorsetonian did nothing wrong. I can oppose the deletion of an article while still acknowledging that AFD is an important part of reviewing articles to determine what we think should be main space material.

Keep. Notability is not fame or noteworthiness. Notability is a construct. This group gained media attention because of their association with Wikipedia. They inherited noteworthiness from Wikipedia. This led to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This coverage means that the subject is notable. It doesn't matter why it's notable, once it's notable it's notable.

Thanks for the analysis. ZDF video appears to be broken, but it existed. Maybe there is a way to get that video. There are probably also Russian and Bashkir videos from VGTRK, but I so far failed to search them (they are from on-air TV). As for "8. ru.wikinews.org: not independent" — yes, not independent, but reliable and original. It was written directly in English (and Tatar/Baskkir) by Farhad Fatkullin, who is not independent, but is very familiar with the subject and is realiable as a source because he can be trusted in terms of factual accuracy and other types of relevance. -- ssr (talk) 09:54, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only sources I could find were his own website and a British Music Collection biography of him, the rest are mirrors. There were also 2? reviews from The Guardian, but at least the other one looked like a passing mention only.

Thanks for the link. It looks like the only thing accomplished in this discussion was a determination that if a list of episodes fits in the article, that's where it should go. In this case, the list is clearly too large so we have to rely on WP:LISTN which, by my reading, would indicate a list of episodes for any podcast that is distributed on the standard platforms is notable. You find these lists on Spotify Apple, Google, etc. which I would consider reliable sources for this purpose (not necessarily for the information in the lists but for the fact that a list of episodes is something important to report for these podcasts). One could make a WP:NOTDIRECTORY argument but I don't have a clear understanding of how WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:LISTN interact. I'm still undecided but that's enough Wikilawyering for me today. ~Kvng (talk) 14:43, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I lean toward delete for most podcast episode lists, especially if the podcast doesn't have an overarching storyline. Personally, I've interpreted WP:NLIST to mean that reliable secondary sources have to actually discuss the episodes as a group rather than simply listing them like Apple Podcasts or other syndicating platforms. There are some sources that do this for 99% Invisible such as Podcast Review and Timeout and there are others that comment on the number of episodes such as this piece in The Guardian. There are also individual episodes that appear to be independently notable. For instance, the episode about missing-children milk cartons called "Milk Carton Kids" has coverage in The A.V. Club, The Atlantic, and PodCastle.There are various other episodes that have also received coverage such as "The Sound of the Artificial World" in Slate, "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" in The A.V. Club, and "The Known Unknown" in IndieWire. However, I'm not sure if two sources discussing the episodes as a group, one episode that is arguably notable, and a few other sources about individual episodes is really enough to warrant a list for over 500 episodes.

Delete (Probably) - As an independent app I agree that it has essentially no real "coverage" (many apps don't, and many apps also don't get wikipedia pages). I'm unclear on if the "ReVanced" app is developed by any of the same members, as if it was it might actually make more sense for the "YouTube Vanced" article to be renamed ReVanced as it would essentially be a name and logistical change of a continuous project. However if none of the developers or team have any stake in this new app, then I would consider it a functionally separate entity in terms of dictating article notability and thus agree to delete this page.A MINOTAUR (talk) 04:25, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 11:10, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As Mino already said, for programs in general there are few "news" articles, unless there is some controversy surrounding that topic. For that reason I believe that the standard of what counts as a source for significant coverage should not be as high set for software as it might be for more traditional entities. After all, Wikipedia isn't meant to just be a mirror or collection of "news" articles.

I think notability is proven by the roughly 3 million users this project currently has and by the astonishing amount of copy-cat sites that attempt to impersonate ReVanced for monetary gain or malicious interest. I see value in having Wikipedia as a trusted source to affirm what the actual website is, as it is more accessible and readable than GitHub.

As for the heavy reliance on primary sources: This is essentially unavoidable as any publication could also only ever rely on ReVanced as the primary source for information like the size of the userbase for example. Taku1101 (talk) 02:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taku1101: There is an essay detailing how the notability guideline can be applied to software at Wikipedia:Notability (software); the criteria it uses still depend on the existence of reliable third-party sources, because WP:Notability applies to all articles, and it says: Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable, independent sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article. Unfortunately, there really isn't a way around this, regardless of how you think things should be. Notability also isn't determined by a WP:BIGNUMBER, nor is it WP:INHERITED from Vanced, so we need reliable third-party sources to determine notability. While I understand the concern about fakes, Wikipedia isn't the place to solve that issue, as, again, we are dependent on what reliable independent sources say; per WP:SELFSOURCE, primary sources are only used for self-descriptive information such as an app's website or version number, and cannot be used to support notability. Yeeno (talk) 06:20, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I fully understand and accept the arguments that you have presented above but further reading on WP:RS and specifically WP:QUESTIONABLE leaves me confused on the matter of what is actually to be considered a reliable source. More specifically, you mentioned the article by TF to be the only reliable coverage you could find. But what makes that coverage by TF a reliable source compared to the coverage by gizchina or tarnkappe.info? Taku1101 (talk) 13:07, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taku1101: What makes a source reliable is mostly detailed on WP:SOURCE, and editors regularly discuss the reliability of sources based on these criteria; the results of such discussions can be seen at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. In this case, TorrentFreak was noted for it often being cited in mainstream media, i.e., other reliable sources. On the other hand, most blogs are not cited in other reliable sources for various reasons, so it would be harder to treat them as reliable sources of information. Yeeno (talk) 17:23, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well on that matter, I'd probably start a discussion on a site like tarnkappe.info as it seems to me on first and second glance to fall into the reliable category. I'm somewhat less sure about gizchina. I don't know as to how this would be handled then, considering that WP:RSPMISSING denotes that the absence of the source in question on the list does not make implications in regards to it's reliability. I cannot find further guidance on how this would be treated in a discussion about AfD on the basis of a lack of WP:RS, given that it is the central point in favor of deletion.

Weak delete I see a single RS with coverage of this subject, TorrentFreak, [24][25], and even those two articles together don't offer much SIGCOV. I slightly disagree with the nom's proposed redirect, as it's a separate piece of software, and separate project, but I cannot think of a better WP:ATD and there's brief coverage in the target article. —siro χ o 05:08, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Behind Closed Doors (book)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Behind Closed Doors is not something that is needs an article. Every animated production has drawings like the ones seen in this book. Anything between Popeye to Rugrats has had vile pictures drawn by staff, this is just another to add to the pile. Not only is it unncessary, but it also lacks sufficient documentation. Only one reference to this book (might I add without any details) has been discovered that predates the book's leak by YouTuber LSuperSonicQ. Every other reference is written about that video, and no new information comes from them because of it. We don't know enough about this book to be given proper coverage, and again, even if it did, it does not stand out from any of the other books and artwork of its nature. With this logic, the Rugrats storyboard jam "Incredible" (which is of a very similar nature and includes vile drawings of children's characters) should also have an article. This is only been given social significance due to its falsified popularity online, and in reality has no actual historical significance outside of any other animated production.

Keep Seconding StarTrekker's comment, several reliable sources have covered Behind Closed Doors. CJ-Moki (talk) 07:27, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with questions how does the recency of coverage and/or the source of the release affect something if it is covered in reliable sources? In terms of the former surely it isn't our job to decide what is a flash in the pan that will be forgotten about in 3 months time and what might become - for want of a better term for a book of dirty cartoons - a lasting point of interest? I do agree with StarTrekker that the likelihood that most other shows also have such books made by the staff somehow makes this one non-notable; follow that line to its' logical end and it's "why bother having an article on Pelé when there are loads of footballers?". If Behind Closed Doors sparks off some weird slew of animator-made porn books getting notable coverage, well I guess Wikipedia would cover them too. But that's a theoretical situation, and as it stands this one seems to have for whatever reason attracted reliable reportage. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 11:11, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't think the deletion rationale is sufficiently focussed on policy. The broad question of whether this needs an article is an interesting one. I'd be inclined to agree that this kind of information could be placed in the Spongebob article itself, except in this case that might be to the detriment of that article. Should the information be covered at all? That is a matter of coverage in secondary sources, and while the secondary coverage here is not extensive, I think it crosses the line for independence, reliability and in multiple sources. I also cannot see an argument that it does not meet the significance threshold. The article itself is not great, and a rewrite, perhaps a move would all be possible, but those are not really AfD matters. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:01, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWS. We usually require sustained coverage by reliable sources under our notability policy; a short burst of news coverage is generally not enough to meet this requirement. With one exception, all of the sources I've found covering this article are pop-culture grade sources published in the four days following LSuperSonicQ's video. While there is a 2012 Hogan's Alley interview in which Osborne discussed Behind Closed Doors in some detail, Hogan's Alley did not provide any information on the book or even directly ask about it. This interview is a purely primary source from someone involved in the creation of SpongeBob/this book. As such, it does not contribute to notability. Given the lack of sustained coverage, I believe that this article should be deleted (I'm also fine with merging or perhaps transwiki-ing to a more SpongeBob/lost media centric wiki). Note that I did not take the existence/non-existence of similar articles or the perceived need for this article to exist into account as neither of these are relevant to notability.

Under the Radar Volume 3

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This page was recreated multiple times from 2019 to 2021 with no notability demonstrated since then. It only has three sources, and two of those are to Williams's website, and the other is YouTube. I don't see any convincing coverage of this from a Google search, and while the first two volumes have a bit more out there on them that might make them notable, I don't think this third volume does. Williams having released notable recordings before and since doesn't mean this compilation is notable as notability is inherited, and so I'm requesting this be redirected so that there's consensus against another editor restoring it.

Robbie Williams is a highly popular and significant recording artist. Wikipedia has comprehensive coverage of his discography.

Notability is not inherited to each of an artist's recordings just because an artist themselves is notable (WP:NOTINHERITED). We do not have an article for every single thing Williams has released, and the album will still be listed on his discography—it just won't have an article because there's nothing that has been demonstrated to be important about this particular recording. It absolutely is "germane" whether or not this album is notable because this is WP:AFD where we decide if articles themselves (and thus, their topics) are notable enough to keep.

Definitely redirect. It is not essential for this article to exist as is simply because it's a Robbie Williams release. The only applicable sources provided here refer to his official website and YouTube channel. A quick Google search gave me virtually nothing of encyclopedic substance, merely the usual retailer and streaming offers. If anything, the bit of information on the album can be moved to his main article. Lk95 (talk) 15:12, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Robbie Williams: Found a few announcement pieces ([30][31][32]) but nothing of substance. As SS112 already explained, notability is not inherited, so just because this is a release by a very famous musician doesn't mean it is automatically cleared for a place here.

I don't think WP:NKICK is the correct criteria, more appropriate would be WP:MANOTE. Coverage in English of karate events from 50-60 years ago is going to be hard to find. However, a bronze medal at the world championships and 3 medals at the European championships means it's likely that coverage exists, if you have access to French newspapers and magazines from that long ago. There's coverage in English sources of the results and I think that level of accomplishment deserves the benefit of the doubt concerning notability. Papaursa (talk) 00:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MANOTE is an essay on notability, it does not supersede WP:NBLP. There are so many people who won "medals" in tournaments. There are countless tournament even to this day. Some even only have 3 people per division and they win "bronze" 3rd place our of 3 participant (example). Its especially common for Karate or Tae Kwon Do. The references on the French article also insufficient (archives):

forum Not reliable, forum, no mention of the subject N
akdtm.com non independant, blog N
World Championship 1972 Results Fight results, non significant N

I dont see anything that would satisfy notability even for WP:MANOTE. Bronze medal Lethweimaster (talk) 19:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No argument on the relative importance of the criteria. However, MANOTE can be considered and he clearly meets "repeated medalist ... in significant event". The WKF is the world's leading karate organization and is so recognized by the Olympics. He didn't finish 3rd among 3 entries in some minor event. There were only two events at the 1972 world championship (men's team and individual kumite) and 220 competitors[33]. He also won two gold and a silver medal in individual events at European championships. In addition, he was part of the French team that won gold medals at both the 1972 European and world championships. The current article links to the detailed coverage in Black Belt magazine of the European championships and has multiple pictures and prose of Sauvin. Papaursa (talk) 13:55, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep After further thought about his record, I believe his accomplishments merit inclusion in WP. Four medals at European championships (3 of them gold) and two medals (1 gold) at the world championships seems notable to me. Papaursa (talk) 03:22, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable band with no references online aside from pages the band itself would have made. View / Stream analytics on websites such as Spotify & Youtube do not suggest at any degree of "hidden notability". Article seems to have been written by a well-meaning novice editor A MINOTAUR (talk) 23:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The group's full-length release was widely reviewed in the Christian press and also in alternative rock press outlets. The band has an artist bio and review at Allmusic; IndieVisionMusic; Jesus Freak Hideout; Cross Rhythms; HM Magazine. My memory may be faulty, but I believe they also received a review in Alternative Press at the time of release (a magazine that does not have a good online archive). The article notes Billboard placement, which would nail it down decisively, but sadly Billboard's website has gotten a lot stingier meting out historical chart information, and I don't have all the published paper chart books, but maybe someone else seeing this discussion does. A note on that, though: about 14 years ago, I added a link sourcing that chart placement, and that link rotted and was not archived anywhere that I know of. However, it's a legitimate chart placement; I verified it myself, and I hope you all believe me when I tell you I did not make it up. Chubbles (talk) 04:56, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, one single chart placement does not necessarily make a recording pass WP:NALBUM. dannymusiceditor ^oops 13:35, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The band is up for deletion, rather than the album, and charting is a criterion at WP:MUSIC. Coverage in multiple sources is, too. Chubbles (talk) 14:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I linked the wrong page, MUSIC is the one I meant. My apologies. I am conditioned to working on albums. Even so, a few album reviews is not going to be enough to save it, in my opinion. You can't construct a proper article out of a few reviews if an album with no available historical or biographical details. dannymusiceditor ^oops 15:54, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But we have that; we have everything we need to create a reasonable summary. The AMG bio gives historical and biographical details, and Cross Rhythms's online version (it also is, or was, a print magazine) has several short news articles about them; the reviews give style comparisons that explain the band's sound; and a 2008 issue of Billboard will have the chart listings. Additionally, I've just discovered they were profiled in CCM, the magazine of record for Christian music, in 2008. When they meet WP:MUSIC with more than one criterion, I don't know why we'd get rid of the article despite that. Chubbles (talk) 21:33, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"A BAND from Detroit, Search The City, have recorded their first Tooth & Nail album. 'A Fire So Big The Heavens Can See It' is produced by James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Underoath). Said the band's frontman Josh Frost, "We're more influenced by hardcore music than anything else. It doesn't show so much because we're pretty poppy in parts. But collectively, we all love bands like Jimmy Eat World. We'd probably say we are progressive rock or something like that."

The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms. Any expressed views were accurate at the time of publishing but may or may not reflect the views of the individuals concerned at a later date." This isn't exactly a notability raising source. Graywalls (talk) 22:59, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cross Rhythms is a paper magazine that's been around for 30+ years; this is their online outlet. It's the biggest Christian music publication in the UK, which also makes it international coverage. 07:31, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Once again, you can't make a proper band article out of album reviews and an AllMusic biography. There are probably a hundred groups you could make that case for on Wikipedia that aren't notable, and even more that have pages here on that basis that shouldn't. The idea is to have enough detail and sourcing available to make a fully complete article of the band's history. I was shown WP:THREE as a rule of thumb, and I don't think we have that. Also keep in mind that just because it meets NMUSIC may not necessarily guarantee it passes the GNG. dannymusiceditor ^oops 01:26, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've made hundreds of proper band articles out of album reviews and an AllMusic biography. That's the bread and butter of music notability, in practice. The article does not need to meet GNG if it meets WP:MUSIC, and this article meets bullet 1 of NMUSIC anyway, which is just the GNG. This group definitely hurdles the standard level of independent journalistic attention that has cleared the threshold of notability I have worked on for many years, and the sources are now in the article itself. Chubbles (talk) 06:45, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There's a difference between when more content is available (such as interviews, tour coverage, etc.) and just hasn't been added to Wikipedia, and when one catch-all biography and less than a handful of album reviews is literally all there is. I see things like this are seemingly routine to you, however from looking at your userpage. (I even listen to some of the ones that were previously deleted regularly.) If I am overruled, it is what it is, but I think you have the bar set far too low. dannymusiceditor ^oops 15:30, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we've exhausted the independent attention the band got. For instance, I think it's virtually certain that they were reviewed by Absolute Punk; however, I've had trouble dredging up that site's archive, despite its substantial importance as a music review venue in the late 2000s. We've already noted that there are two substantial offline sources that could build the article, and I don't think there's any reason to think that ends the list of coverage (even though, I would argue, what we have in front of us is enough as it is.) They were covered by all of the most important Christian music sites at the time of their 2008 release, and since notability is not temporary, crossing the threshold at the time is enough, even if they are not getting much in the way of new media attention in this decade. Chubbles (talk) 07:06, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A BAND from Detroit, Search The City, have recorded their first Tooth & Nail album. 'A Fire So Big The Heavens Can See It' is produced by James Paul Wisner (Dashboard Confessional, Underoath). Said the band's frontman Josh Frost, "We're more influenced by hardcore music than anything else. It doesn't show so much because we're pretty poppy in parts. But collectively, we all love bands like Jimmy Eat World. We'd probably say we are progressive rock or something like that." from Cross Rhyms. That's a very trivial coverage. An announcement that they've recorded an album, then the other half is a quotation of the band member's commentary, so you couldn't call that independent. Hardly a sigcov. More like slightly above a mention. I agree that things do not need to have refresher coverages every xx years to be notable; however, WP:20YT and notice over a sufficient time period are something to consider. On the JesusFreakhideout, there's an Amazon link with AFFILIATE CODE in it to buy the CD page, so in a way, it's like a sponsored review. Graywalls (talk) 11:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Cross Rhythms covered the band (at least) three times, not once; that's much more in line with sigcov than the comment implies. The JFH review is a staff review and JFH is on the reliable sources list at WP:RSMUSIC. I'm surprised there is so much resistance in this discussion; I really don't know why. Chubbles (talk) 14:10, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We can't compare multiple mini coverages in place of a sigcov just as a luthier wouldn't consider a box full of sawdust the same as similar weight of nice solid wood of the same kind. Graywalls (talk) 07:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Four different reliable sources (AllMusic, JFH, IVM, Crossrhythms) with SIGCOV of the band, that's generally an uncontroversial keep for WP:BAND#C1/WP:GNG. —siro χ o 06:26, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - Pretty weak coverage of the band itself. I don't believe every genre-specific chart counts as "national music chart" for the purpose of WP:NMUSICIAN, and the coverage is in sources that I'm not persuaded are RS for music criticism. Why is Crossrhythms RS such that we can depend on it to separate the notable musicians from the non-notable? It doesn't even clear the extraordinarily low bar of being listed at WP:A/S. Several genres have this issue IMO: a massive horde of niche websites of no interest to anyone who isn't really into the genre, whose priority is to cover as much of the genre as possible. Seems analogous to a subject that only gets coverage in the local town papers. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 16:36, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Action Wellness

A local non-profit doing local thing. A quick WP:BEFORE suggests it does not meet WP:NCORP and I don't believe it's a suitable encyclopedia article.

Keep Clears the bar of WP:GNG. Here are some sources beyond the ones already cited in the article.[34][35][36][37][38][39] There are probably others behind the Philadelphia Inquirer paywall.Prezbo (talk) 22:13, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked at all the sources and I don't see them as satisfying WP:ORGCRIT.

Coverage that is primarily stuff like Burns continued, “Together, we created an organization that offers lifesaving and life-changing services to people wrestling with chronic illness, substance use disorder, housing insecurity and other challenges. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this important work.” is clearly not independent. I see a lot of local coverage. Local organizations get local coverage but local notability is not global notability, which is essentially the criteria for WP:NCORP Graywalls (talk) 22:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AUD seems like the most relevant part of that guideline. But Action Wellness has been covered repeatedly in the Philadelphia Inquirer, which is the largest newspaper in the state.[40]Prezbo (talk) 22:28, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the google scholar results for convenience.[41] I haven't sifted through them to determine which are nontrivial. Prezbo (talk) 22:31, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And again, that's a publication acting in its capacity as a local paper. You know, like things happening in NYC being covered in NY Times acting in its capacity as a local paper. A significant, in-depth, independent coverage about a company/organization in Los Angeles covered in NYT, or something in NYC covered in LA Times, then we've got something. WP:GOOGLEHITS is not a good indication of notability. A facility that has the demographic of people that's of interest for researchers nearby would be a convenient place for them to research. That doesn't make the place notable. Researchers might tap into a specific plasma donation center if they were researching something about plasma, because it's convenient, but appearing in blood related research simply because they were such a site is no indication of the notability of that particular center. Instead of a list of search result, please suggest three actual sources that actually satisfy notability requirements for evaluation. Graywalls (talk) 22:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As I read it, WP:AUD is saying that coverage in a large regional paper is evidence of notability. The requirement that it needs to be a paper from outside the region of the organization in question is just something you’re adding. I think a good article could probably be constructed from the Philadelphia Inquirer articles (if someone had a subscription) or from the other articles I linked to originally. Prezbo (talk) 23:01, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AMOUNT might be of interest even though it's not a policy. Newspapers regularly gossip local matters all the time. Truth be said, essentially every major city have advocacy group for specific causes. Philadelphia Inquirer might have a page article on a Philadelphia car dealership saying something about its history but I would say that's a local paper covering local affairs and I would be hesitant to suggest the dealership is notable enough to merit a page. All these pages about these local shops really shouldn't be on here. Graywalls (talk) 23:19, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like your basic argument here is that the existing third-party coverage “doesn’t count” for one reason or another. It’s too positive which makes it not independent, or the researchers probably just did research at this facility because it was close by so the article they published doesn’t matter, or it’s just local “gossip”, or…I think if the sources are out there, it’s fine, keep the article. But I’m probably repeating myself now. Prezbo (talk) 11:50, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: our guidelines and policies make no distinction between national coverage and local coverage or between big newspapers and little newspapers. The reason is because Wikipedia wants to include as much reliable information as possible (you know, the old "sum of all human knowledge"). We screen for notability not as some measure of earned merit ("they're big and famous") but rather as an indicator as to whether we have enough with which to build a reliable article. --A.

Otherwise, essentially every single trade association in the US would end up being eligible for an article, because they're generally a 501c6 and they're bound to be written about in a trade magazine somewhere. Graywalls (talk) 02:51, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Imagine this text on a trifold brochure printed on glossy paper -- this is a thinly veiled advertisement, WP:NOTADVERT. Note some of the subtle PEACOCKing, "long been the largest", "one of the oldest and largest", "volunteers came together to provide services", "Gathering in Center City Philadelphia, these volunteers acted", throwing around context-free numbers, etc. And a bullet point list of services. Additionally, immediate sourcing doesn't meet WP:SIRS. I do however want to note that The Philadelphia Inquirer explicitly meets the WP:AUD requirement as the biggest daily newspaper in any US state (Pennsylvania). No prejudice against a new article when SIRS sources are found and a proper article is written. —siro χ o 07:04, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
