- Comment — While it's clear that reader interest exists for this topic, I'm not at all impressed by the sources which discuss it as a topic. Slam Wrestling is highly regarded as a source by WP:PW, but it appears to source the height of a particular entry, not the occurrence of the topic as a notable phenomenon.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
There is a solid case to be made for notability given the sources, but basically every line of the article is wholly promotional in tone. Seems like a case of WP:DYNAMITE to me.
I'd also note that the creator has written a very promotional draft about the company founded by the subject of this article (EDIT: actually two such drafts), and at time of writing has ignored queries about COI posted to their talk page. AntiDionysius (talk) 23:24, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your thorough review of the article, and I appreciate the constructive feedback provided. I would like to address your concerns regarding the promotional tone and the potential conflict of interest (COI) related to the drafts I submitted about the company founded by the subject.- Regarding the promotional tone, I acknowledge your observation. I want to emphasize that my intent in writing about Jiani Zeng is rooted in genuine admiration for her contributions as a student of AIoT and robotics. I aimed to present an unbiased perspective, drawing attention to her noteworthy achievements. However, I acknowledge the challenge of balancing admiration with the need for a neutral tone, and I am committed to making the necessary adjustments to address this concern.
- In response to your mention of the drafts related to the company founded by Jiani Zeng, I want to clarify that my involvement in writing about her is driven by a sincere interest in highlighting her accomplishments. However, I do not have any direct association with Jiani Zeng or the company, and I understand the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest on Wikipedia.
- I appreciate your patience and guidance in this matter. I am open to collaboration and welcome contributions from the Wikipedia community to enhance the articles in question. Wikipedia's open-source nature allows for collective improvement, and I am committed to ensuring the articles meet the standards of neutrality and notability.
- If you have specific suggestions or areas of improvement that you believe would address the promotional tone, please feel free to share them. I am eager to collaborate and contribute to creating a fair and unbiased representation of Jiani Zeng's achievements.
- Thank you for your time and consideration.

- Keep Even the nominator admits that "There is a solid case to be made for notability given the sources" and they are correct about this. Her invention made Time Magazine's list of the 100 best inventions of 2021. This alone would be enough to satisfy the GNG. Everyone's concern about the promotional tone is absolutely misplaced in a deletion discussion, where the *only* thing at issue is notability of the subject. Zeng clearly meets this standard, as even nom agrees. If the tone offends you edit the article. That's what we do.Central and Adams (talk) 16:46, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Courcelles (talk) 16:14, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - As best I can tell, the 3 relevant policies at play here are the WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:NACADEMIC. Based on what's in the article and doing a WP:BEFORE I believe GNG is failed. GNG requires significant coverage, and being mentioned by Time as a top inventor in 2021 does not satisfy that. It may hint at other sourcing being available (which I have not found), but it within of itself is insufficient. Looking at [5], [6], and [7], in my view, they are focusing on the subject's inventions but not the subject, which does not meet the standards of significant coverage of Jiani. [8] is an interview and so is primary. The WP:TECHCRUNCH sources are not SIGCOV. Reviewing NACADEMIC, one could attempt to argue a pass of criterion 1. I would say it doesn't. The "Specific criteria notes" for academics lean very heavily on academic institutions providing awards or coverage (for this same reason I don't believe criteria 2-8 apply either). Fast Company nor Time qualify as such. NACADEMIC 1b seems the most appropriate, but I do not believe there is "
a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers
" (emphasis mine). Looking at WP:ANYBIO, criterion 1 seems most appropriate, but I do not find the Time or Fast Company awards to meet "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times
". I would expect an award of such a level to be sufficiently notable where it's own article exists or could be created. Thus, I am leaning delete. I am happy to re-evaluate if someone provides sourcing I have missed. —Sirdog (talk) 06:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)- I still disagree with your conclusion but this is an excellent analysis.Central and Adams (talk) 14:40, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
Keep I find her product, the Heatic sensor, impressive. She has been recognized by many reputable media outlets such as the World Economic Forum, FRAME, Red Dot, and Times. Additionally, she was mentioned in Forbes 30 under 30 list in 2022. Therefore, I am inclined towards keeping.

- Until I found that, I wondered if this were a hoax. It is entirely possible that the above source misreports the name. The village name looks like a person's name. Everything else looks like citogenesis. I'll give it a bit longer to see if I or anyone can find a genuine source showing that such a village exists and is recognised.

I am proposing the following diffs be deleted per RD5:
Background: I requested REVDEL by emailing Nthep, who declined and said that a consensus for deletion would be needed. An RfD discussion for these redirects was recently closed, in part on the basis of incorrect forum; per BLAR, AfD is actually the appropriate forum.
Rationale: Per RD5, revisions may be deleted for any valid reason under the deletion policy, including lack of notability. Both of these subjects are minor children who lack notability. They are not royals, they are far down in line to the throne, and they have done nothing notable in their lives other than being born. Additionally, per NPF we should remove content about non-public figures. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:08, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

being the eldest great-grandchild of the Queen
does not establish notability; it's also not clear to me how you can possibly asses that a 13 year old child isa fore-runner of [her] generation
. voorts (talk/contributions) 14:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- On her 11th birthday Gloucestershire Live described her as "the leader of the 12-strong pack of royal cousins", for example. She was the subject of media coverage on her 12th birthday in 2022 and when she became a teenager in 2023. Beyond the extensive coverage of her christening and, later, being the 'rebellious' youngster on the royal balcony, she seems to get ongoing coverage. It would be POINTy and excessive to erase the article history at the moment. Sionk (talk) 23:55, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- None of those sources provide significant coverage; they are all trivial reporting about a child going to events or existing. The Gloucestershire Live article is mostly about how royals send their kids to fancy boarding schools, and in that context it discusses whether Savannah's parents will send her to one. A child going to school is trivial, not significant, and that fact does not make that child notable. The Town & Country article states a bunch of random facts about Savannah, none of which amount to her doing anything notable other than being born and going to family/royal events. The Hello! article is basically a paparazzi photograph along with a couple of paragraphs about how she went to a church service with her family. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:43, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- It's interesting that children of royalty have a higher bar to reach than any other young person. But I appreciate that Wikipedia has republican leanings and also that WP:NPF suggests she should be allowed to decide her own publicity once she's older. Sionk (talk) 13:50, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

- It's not that children of royalty have a higher bar to reach than any other young person in terms of notability. 99.999% of young people aren't even considered for Wikipedia articles; the difference for royal children is that they sometimes receive limited coverage in the media thus making it a possibility that they might have Wikipedia articles. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:18, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support and I agree with voorts. Coverage concerning either sister is trivial at best. The level of coverage they get is pretty much similar to that of any other celebrity child. Once they are old enough, maybe they will take up a career or lifestyle that will merit an article for each of them. At this point, they are just minors that go to school and have fun with their cousins; and they are not required to make public appearances or accompany their parents on international tours unlike their cousins that hold princely ranks. They are in the same boat as Mia Tindall (there are some diffs that have to be deleted for this one), Lena Tindall, Lucas Tindall, Sienna Mapelli Mozzi (also has problematic diffs), August Brooksbank (also has problematic diffs), and Ernest Brooksbank.

- I disagree that the diffs here are not bad. They're articles about non-public figures and they keep getting restored by people asserting that anyone in line to the British throne has inherited notability.

This article is hard to understand. What it looks like, though, is a puff piece. WP:PEACOCK concerns are always fixable, but the real concern here is WP:RS. Can RS be located with community input? What I can state for certain, is that no person named Mustafe Ismail or Mustafe Haji is known in Norway in the slightest, yielding 0 hits in the nation's comprehensive media archive. On the other hands, there are considerable problems of how his name should be translated, and the article has already been through a disputed move.

- Delete - This article, and the editor above, confuses the accomplishments of the band with those of one member, Chris Angel Walker. The lengthy list of awards at the bottom of the article are all for films and were received by Walker in his other career as a video director. Most of those awards are themselves non-notable and do not qualify as "significant" awards per WP:ANYBIO, even if they were relevant for the band which they're not. As for the band, I can find nothing reliable and significant about them, and the article is dependent on press releases listing their presence at various events or their own promotional statements. Finally, per WP:CHART their placement in a regional iTunes chart does not count for notability. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:21, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- The festivals mentioned are directed by Chris Angel Walker but the works are listed as Substereo.
- The article, as mentioned above is not reliant on press releases, but rather news articles, interviews and blogs. The fact that these are is not grounds for exclusion. Tarajameson79 (talk) 14:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Simply by looking at the names of the sources at the bottom of the article, only one (#17 from France) comes anywhere close to "news" and even that's a bit of a stretch. Also, per WP:UGC blogs are not reliable sources, and per WP:INTERVIEWS an interview should be independent and investigative. You also have a serious issue with dead links as sources, which accomplish nothing for the article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:49, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- This is inaccurate. Ugeavisen, Midsjællands avis, TV2 are examples of independent and legitimate news sources.
- Articles from 2013 cannot be expected to be maintained as these are archived after a certain number of years. Tarajameson79 (talk) 14:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I couldn't verify a single one of these reference against WP:MUSICRS. Obviously many are social media, blog links stuff like that, which are not reliable sources. But, I couldn't find anything on social media to support the band. Usually if they are popular its imediately visible. This ref url for example, [34] has 70-odd views. Its not a valid source. These is nothing on the streaming sites. Sometimes you can look and you can guage how popular the band is and that give you approval to find more valid sources with the assumption there should be something there. But there is nothing there. It is non-notable. scope_creepTalk 19:21, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- None of the listings on WP:MUSICRS are from Denmark. TV2 is one of the main national broadcasting stations. Verifying references against a list that only features a handful of countries is not comprehensive and extremely exclusive. Even excluding Denmark from that list is questionable. As mentioned on WP:MUSICRS itself: "This list is merely a collection of suggestions".
- The references are valid, they are from actual newspapers that were published in physical form as well as in digital format. To claim that anything that is old should be deleted from wikipedia simply because those sources aren't available anymore would only allow currently popular projects to be featured as valid information.
- Amount of views are also not a requirement, and that being said, the channel you mention has 143,382 views.
- The claim that there is nothing on streaming sites is also inaccurate, as the references clearly show, the band has has a streaming platform presence since 2013. Not all ref sources are necessary, but all the necessary sources from newspapers and independent media are listed as required.
- You cannot simply delete a project because it is not 'currently' popular. Tarajameson79 (talk) 22:07, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Correction, the Substereo channel has 143,382 views, not the subtalks channel. Although views are still irrelevant to the topic matter.

- @Tarajameson79: The normal practice on WP:AFD is to post up WP:THREE references that prove the article is notable. Three references is the standard. If you have three good secondary references, please post them up.

This film fails WP:NFF. The only sources are press-release announcements of the release date. There is no production information that has been reported in order to satisfy the guideline that the production itself is notable
. Only knowing the release date only tells us that it was filmed, not that it was notable. This should be sent back to draft until someone uncovers some information on the filming, or until the film is released and receives at least a couple reviews to meet WP:NFO #1. Until that happens, this is a WP:CRYSTALBALL.

Notability of a film is WP:NOTINHERITED from the cast that makes it up; it needs its own coverage.

Does not meet WP:NOTE, promotional in nature, and contains multiple dubious claims not supported by any reliable independent sources. No evidence that this drink has a 100 year history.

- To be clear, this is a category of drink, not a product; the Japanese title simply translates to something like "fermented beverage" (i.e. made from yeast, bacteria, or mold) and the relatively promotional source found in the references was added later to a preexisting article. It's true that this is basically one of those categories containing products that often make dubious claims about health benefits, but it's not clear to me that this means it's a promotional article. It's two words, one meaning "fermented" and the other meaning "drink", and it's unclear why there would be anything particularly Japanese about it. I suggest that we redirect this to List of fermented foods#Fermented drinks and beverages. Dekimasuよ! 00:38, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- It's not clear that this name truly applies to a category of Japanese drink. A web search primarily points back to a single brand, R's Koso, which is the source of most of the claims in this article. The Japanese language article is much broader, but I cannot locate a reliable source that describes koso as a category of beverage. Climpaloon (talk) 01:04, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- To reiterate, I am not saying this is a category of Japanese drink. Rather, it is a Japanese-language phrase that can be translated into English as "fermented drink", which is why I suggested redirecting to our article on fermented drinks as a whole. As I said above, any references to the particular brand you mentioned were added to the article later on. The current article is similar to creating a separate article for cheese under the title "fromage" under the assumption that "fromage" and "cheese" are fundamentally different.

Withdrawn per WP:HEY and the sources brought by Cunard. -I'm unable to find reliable sourcing in an online BEFORE search on this artist. There is another artist with the same name but born long before this one, their work is very different. All I am seeing is social media or user-submitted content, or work by the other Li Yan. The article as it stands is sourced solely to the "Saatchi Gallery" website; this is user submitted content as any artist anywhere can submit their work to this commercial website; it is not the same as Charles Saatchi's collection. Therefore it does not contribute to notability. The External link is his own website. Does not pass WP:GNG, nor WP:NARTIST. Bringing it here for the community to decide.

- While there's no one whose judgement I trust more on ARTicles (pun absolutely intended ;-)) than Netherzone, I'm pinging Cunard in the event they can help with Chinese sourcing as both editors' specialties overlap here.

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
SourcesPeople 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.
- If 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.

The article notes: "For 31-year-old Beijing painter Li Yan, news is a muse, and in "Quotidian Truths," his first solo U.S. show, Li explores the various intersections between Chinese sports and politics. In seven painting clusters, called "Snippets," Li relies on splintered details to get at larger truths. ... The artist culls images from television and newspapers, then disembodies them, stripping photos of captions and other contextualizing information and reinterpreting them in acrylics, which he clusters according to a new, internally devised logic. Juxtapositions spark new connections and meanings. ... For Li's most recent Beijing show, "Accident," he set his sights on examining the war in Iraq and the wider issue of terrorism. For the new series, which will be presented in three installments, sports was a natural choice."

The article notes: "Die Augen müssen sich erst eingewöhnen. Die Szenen des chinesischen Malers Li Yan, 1977 in der Provinz Jilin geboren, spielen auf kleinem Format. Schmal rechteckige Blicke in das Innere des zentral gesteuerten Riesenreiches. Was wir sehen, ist wenig verheißungsvoll. Auch erst im Bau befindliche Gebäude zeigen sich in ihrem Inneren bereits dem Verfall nahe. ... Mehr noch, da der in Peking lebende Li Yan schon rein technisch mit Inhalten spielt, den Farbauftrag eigentümlich roh hält – gerade so, als sei dieser schon wieder abgekratzt worden. ... So gewinnen die Bilder von Li Yan, auf den ersten Blick in Gefahr, zu einfach lesbar zu sein, zunehmend an Kraft. Sie überraschen, gerade auch dadurch, weil sie nicht überwältigen."
From Google Translate: "The eyes have to get used to it. The scenes by the Chinese painter Li Yan, born in Jilin Province in 1977, are set in a small format. Narrow rectangular views into the interior of the centrally controlled vast empire. What we see is not very promising. Even buildings that are just under construction are already close to decay on the inside. ... Li Yan's images, which at first glance appear to be in danger of being too easy to read, become increasingly powerful. They surprise, especially because they don't overwhelm."

The article discusses his solo exhibition Accident at the Platform China art gallery in Beijing. The article notes: "表現戰爭的影像,文字,並不等於戰爭本身。殘酷的影像,畫面也不等於殘酷。索性把看得見,摸不到的影像畫面拆解開,打碎,重新組織在一起,呈現出一個關於事件的圖畫,關於事件的色彩,關於事件的形式。"

Libor Sečka , the article's author, was the ambassador of the Czech Republic to China from 2009 to 2015. In the article, he calls Li Yan a "friend" so the author may not be independent. The article notes: "Li Yan is a reporter, chronicler, catcher, who mercilessly inscribes into his paintings all that is unusual, unexpected, destructive and cruel. All that got out of the traditional order and control. All that in one second changed the lives not only of individuals, but of hundreds and thousands in misfortune and disaster. He is not only interested in the dynamics and internal tension of a moment, but also in the silence that follows. He gives testimony about the human suffering of today, as well as about places where events took place and about their atmosphere, one would even want to say mood."

- Delete. I couldn't find evidence that it meets WP:N -- not even close. It's mentioned on various websites that offer downloads of the software, but nothing close to in-depth coverage by a WP:RS.

- Comment: I don't think this is a C1 pass. Here's the text of the society's constitution, for those wondering about C3:
Fellows, whose number shall not exceed 3000, will be elected on the basis of distinguished contributions to new knowledge and for promotion and application of Science & Technology for social welfare. They shall be elected on the basis of their scientific contributions in terms of documentation, publications, patents etc. However, everything being equal, special attention may be given to the women scientists. In case of scientists working in National Security Areas, e.g. DRDO/DOS/DOAE etc. their overall contribution to the progress of that field may be given special consideration.
I think "whose number should not exceed 3000" is pretty strong evidence of notability in a country of nearly 1.5 billion people. But I'd like someone else to double-check since I don't have any prior knowledge of this society. -- asilvering (talk) 03:59, 8 February 2024 (UTC) - Keep (weak): I think David E and Asilvering make a point, there are probably sources we are missing.

Lacking significant coverage to base an article on. It certainly exists, there is some coverage (eg this), but what I've found is run of the mill, no deep coverage.
The content is poor enough that it's been turned into a redirect to Jackson County, Oregon in the past, where it's mentioned much less than the Bigfoot trap.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 13:31, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Closer comment relisted per TP request from Jay. I closed as redirect which I still believe is correct because that's almost universally how these end up since they (schools also, frequently) are considered part of broader infrastructure of the town/county/etc in which they operate. That said, we don't need bureaucracy and I'd rather relist than have this land at DRV or elsewhere for more discussion and then another relist since it was also at RfD. Star Mississippi 13:35, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the relist. Delete if one of the outcomes is not improvement, merge or redirect to a different target. The RfD mentioned in the nomination did not see support for this title to be a redirect to Jackson County, Oregon, so redirecting it back as is would be against the RfD outcome. Jay 💬 15:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge to Jackson County, Oregon per - Sumanuil. There was very limited participation in the RfD and it shouldn't take precedence over a consensus formed here. The info in the article looks to be sourced to the website which is reliable for it's own operations. It can be reasonably added (or perhaps summarized) to the county article. It's better to _add_ a mention to the target article rather than create a red link in the hope that someone will create a better article as a general matter, and certainly in cases like this where notability is limited at best.

Fails WP:NORG.

- Comment - it certainly seems to be an academic-led charity which has been inactive for a long time. However, there was a bit of buzz about it for a while see this (pdf) and this and this. The trouble is that there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of information about what was actually achieved (most of these seem to discuss the idea of the alliance being good/bad) so it is going to be hard to write a page here. I'm not sure how to resolve this. JMWt (talk) 10:34, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I couldn't find any significant coverage of this bobsleigh athlete, even in Polish. The best I could find is biography, but I don't think the source is reliable. He also never had medal record.
It's also strange that the Polish Wikipedia is actually linked to basketball player of the same name and birth year, instead of the correct one. Corresponding article of bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is likewise a stub without major changes since its last editing in 2022: Neither of the two sources cover Pawel Mroz himself... only brief mentions. Otherwise, it would copy over English Wikipedia.
Given that bobsleigh athlete Paweł Mróz is almost 40 years old, his career is probably over and he might never make anymore comeback in bobsleigh tournament.

Not seeing anything except passing mentions, but I am also not listing Polish article at Polish Wikipedia's AfD's equivalent as they are more inclusionist (we have decided a while ago participation in the olympics does not give automatic notability, but Polish Wikipedia disagrees). So I guess he can survive there, and of course at Wikidata.

BLP of a retired racing driver. The two sources provided are just passing mentions. The ja.wiki article has no better sourcing. A search in English and Japanese turns up other passing mentions and database/table entries with no in depth coverage at all.

Invalid and unnecessary disambiguation page containing the primary topic and only one other topic. AfD is issued after PROD got declined. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 06:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. 1st, the page has additional relevant dabs. They're simply being deleted by the nominator. 2nd, who ignores the reverts and refuses to take the discussion to the talk page. 3rd, yes, which they should knock off. Wiki's terrible WP:BIAS against non-European topics doesn't mean they're non-notable, as already (repeatedly) pointed out. I could end this waste of time by going through and creating stubs for all the topics but that isn't terribly helpful. The better outcome would just be for the nominator to recognize they're notable topics (try cursory googling for the name) and leave the necessary dab alone until full articles are created. — LlywelynII 06:29, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
For the curious who might come in the middle of this, here's the notice on NmW's talk page to stop the disruptive editing and come to the talk page for a discussion, which they subsequently blanked and then copied with their own "warning" to my talk page... telling me to join the discussion that I initiated or else. At the end of this, editors might prefer I go through and create all the stubs instead of having only the dab page (fair enough, although I think it's unnecessary)... but obviously this editor shouldn't be acting like this. — LlywelynII 06:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Delete, disambiguation pages disambiguate between topics on which we have articles. They come after the articles, not before. So yes, at least a stub must exist. This is nothing to do with laziness or bias, it's just a practical matter, similar to writing the book before attempting to write its index. Elemimele (talk) 06:49, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Striking my original !vote: There are now multiple topics and likely to be more Elemimele (talk) 09:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- [in response to the original post:] @Elemimele: but it's more helpful to have something than nothing. The policy against only red links is to discourage nonnotable cruft. Cursory googling shows the drones are more relevant now than the god, all the moreso in the event of a conflict in the East or South China Seas.
There's a reason that MOS:DAB has an entire section recapping WP:IAR... and combatting Wiki's lack of information about East Asia (WP:BIAS) is a primary reason for invoking it. WP:DABRED only applies to "articles that are unlikely ever to be written... or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics", neither of which is the case here for Qingdao's island or the drones. The only issue is a lack of English language sources and the PRC's blocking of Chinese editors from reaching Wikipedia at all. — LlywelynII 06:59, 1 February 2024 (UTC)- As soon as the articles are out there - even if they're short/stubs - the DAB's fine, but we do need the articles. Without a place to grow the information about the drone or island, the DAB doesn't help the reader. They'll only come across this page if they already know the name, so they're probably already aware that the topic exists. I honestly think you'd do better to write something about the drones and the island rather than pursue this DAB at this stage. Elemimele (talk) 07:04, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Delete. As Elemimele noted, disambiguation pages are for articles that actually exist, and "But they should exist" isn't a valid reason to keep the page. Cortador (talk) 07:52, 1 February 2024 (UTC)- @Cortador: Actually, reread WP:DABRED. "They should exist" is a valid reason because the only rationale for the no-red-links-policy is concern over future notability. That said, the pages have been created now. It's better to change your vote since it's likely the valid dab page will now be deleted for similar procedural reasons to what got us here in the first place. — LlywelynII 03:52, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- The disambiguation page now has two articles - Qianliyan and Qianliyan Island - with the latter having only two sources, one of them a news sources that barely escaped deprecation last time it was discussed, and one being a report that is not about the island and only mentioned it in passing a few times. You have not demonstrated notability. Cortador (talk) 08:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- @Cortador: The page is locked. When it's open again, the drones'll be shunted to the talk page pending article creation (everyone's very clear they prefer that vs. leaving them) and Mount Qianliyan (which is minor but notable regardless of the lack of English sourcing) will be added. If NmW... keeps up the silly opposition on the basis of article count, I'll just have to find sourcing to spin off the Qianliyan Conservation Area and Qianliyan Lighthouse. Those are currently (and appropriately for now) handled on the island talk page, but they also are notable and separate topics from the island itself. It's just better to handle them with the island at the moment because this shouldn't need to be such a needlessly WP:POINTY waste of everyone's time.
There are other notable Qianliyans; the dab page should exist to direct to them; and we should be able to move on with our lives. — LlywelynII 16:50, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Delete. "Qianliyan" is simply not ambiguous with any other subject with content on English Wikipedia, except perhaps the list entry at List of protected areas of China, which is why I inserted this hatnote [52], now deleted by LlywelynII. Delete the void disambiguation page and restore that hatnote. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 19:50, 1 February 2024 (UTC)- Keep but @LlywelynII: needs to understand that this is not a satisfactory way to conduct business: it wastes editor's time. First write the articles, then write the disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Shhhnotsoloud: All due respect but, seriously, take it up with the talk page on WP:DABRED. If there's a new consensus that all red links are always verboten, fine, the policy should actually say that instead of what it currently does: that red links should not be posted where the article is unlikely to be created or unlikely to survive a notability challenge. These were patently notable and it was a waste of everyone's time... to try to delete the dab page just to make people recreate it later for procedural reasons. This is why WP:IAR and WP:POINTY exist. (Again... fine if you think my understanding is wrong, but get your new consensus enshrined in the actual policy or other people—not me of course—will keep doing this.) — LlywelynII 16:42, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Delete. I'd have to vote to delete. Even aside from the question of the notability of the listed entries, concerns about bias, and the chaos that ensued after the PROD was removed, this disambiguation page should be deleted on the basis that DABs are created for one sole reason, and that is to disambiguate extant articles. This page is not helpful to the reader and is arguably costly, as DABs are not made to bring attention to red links. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 23:26, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- I change my vote to keep per the creation of Mount Qianliyan and Qianliyan Island and points made by Sirdog. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 23:15, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough to the points above but @Elemimele:, @Cortador:, @Shhhnotsoloud:, @AllTheUsernamesAreInUse: kindly change your votes now that the pages are up (Qianliyan, Qianliyan Waters National Aquatic Germplasm Resources Conservation Area, Qianliyan Island, Mount Qianliyan) since, the way this is going, it seems likely your votes will be used to delete the page even now that articles have been created. The drone bits can be removed once the page is unlocked pending someone interested enough to write about them. — LlywelynII 03:26, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Note: Mount Qianliyan is clearly a WP:PTM with no sources directly refer it as Qianliyan and should not included in the dab. By far, Qianliyan Waters National Aquatic Germplasm Resources Conservation Area has not been a different topic from Qianliyan Island as a redirect. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 03:51, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Take it up with Rushmore, Everest, &c. It's perfectly standard to refer to moutains without "mount", "mountain", or "shan". Of course it belongs on the dab list. There are clearly other topics that need to be dabbed from the Chinese god. I've already jumped through the hoops of creating articles to keep you lot happy despite WP:DABRED being clear that notable topics should be fine as redlinks. What is the point of being so needlessly difficult about acknowledging the dab should exist? — LlywelynII 03:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Gonna have to agree with Llywelyn on the part about mountains, though a DAB shouldn't exist if it solely consists of redlinks outside of the primary topic and one additional link, even if they are potentially notable, and I don't quite see how the drones are notable. We do have at least two valid links now besides the primary topic, though I would still prefer deleting the DAB and creating a hatnote for those two entries in its current state. I'll let other editors weigh in before forming a solid opinion. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:25, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- I said it somewhere above, but—once the page is accessible again—I'll go ahead and add the mountain and remove the drones to the dab's talk page until articles are created. I may personally disagree but y'all were pretty clear about your consensus on that point. — LlywelynII 16:32, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- I think that the mountain should be at the disambiguation, and I believe that Qianliyan Waters National blah blah blah is not a different topic from the island as it stands. I don’t know why my original comment was so widely misinterpreted. I may change my vote to keep if it is shown that the drones and other things relating to the island have WP:POTENTIAL, but like I said I would prefer a hatnote if it is just the mountain and island.

- Keep - I'm fairly certain that Qianliyan Island and Mount Qianliyan meet GEOLAND and so are valid items to list alongside the primary topic. I'd say they are valid targets when disambiguating "Qianliyan", and I do not agree that either item meet WP:PTM. I would prefer the disambiguation page versus strictly using hatnotes, so that additional topics may be added as time progresses. A consensus of Delete will add bureaucracy to the future and I'm inclined to believe articles using this may exist, given BIAS in this topic area. —Sirdog (talk) 05:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG .There is hardly any sources on who or what the "Ag'azi People" even were, there is not enough source material for a separate article. As a result, most of the article is original research or just completely fabricated, with most of the sections being entirely unsourced (there's a few places where the editor cites a source, but doesn't it corroborate with the text). There is already a separate article called Agʿazi, so this is also arguably a WP:BADFORK. Socialwave597 (talk) 05:33, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. I searched all the digital sources for the term "Agʿazi", and couldn't find it in any of them. Maybe some of the non-digital sources have more information, but the majority of sources on a topic not mentioning the topic doesn't give me confidence. Cortador (talk) 07:57, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Agʿazi as a content fork: It really seems to be the same topic, even if the current lede of the target article refers to geography. The content here is mostly WP:OR and should not be merged with the target article. I do find some results with "Agazian" from Google Books, but nothing really useful. The emergence of this article might be indirectly related to a recent Agazian movement, See discussion at https://www.iwgia.org/en/eritrea/4216-iw-2021-eritrea.html Jähmefyysikko (talk) 12:46, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or possibly Redirect to Agʿazi (I agree there's effectively nothing to merge, in any case). Presumably the inhabitants of Agʿazi were "Agʿazian people" but, as @Socialwave597 pointed out, this is a bad fork. Heretofore, Wikipedia described Agʿazi as an area of the Aksumite Empire, not an ethnicity therein nor as a predecessor to it. In addition to the sourcing problems that Socialwave597 specified, this also had an orphaned (& since fixed) {{sfn}} citation (leading me to think the article was cobbled together via unattributed WP:COPYPASTE), and another citation to a WP:SPS. Those concerns were met with no response when I brought them up; the other concerns were met with WP:IDHT. I might have thought this could be WP:DRAFTified, but there are other issues regarding the article's creator. Those are outside the scope of this AfD, of course, but it makes me skeptical that said draft would reach a suitable state. @Jähmefyysikko: I read about the Agazian movement at the link you provided. I am not at all sure whether that explains the creator's motivations (or whether the creator is even aware of it; I'll WP:AGF for now), but the subject matter suggests some perceived "ultra-Habesha" subset of Habesha peoples, which (FWIW) is another article (now indef. protected per WP:HORN) with a history of WP:NOR, but toward the opposite of that Agazian concept. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 15:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

The result was delete. The "delete" opinions are more persuasive, as they address the quality and depth of coverage of the available sources in detail. The "keep" opinions are mostly about how important the person or his company is, or they mention a variety of sources, without demonstrating that they satisfy WP:N's requirements of substantial coverage in reliable sources.

Greg Henderson (talk) 18:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment - @Theroadislong, it is a family history project; several editors are aware of the Henderson family walled garden (one of several walled gardens created by the editor above.) I'm not commenting on the AfD at this time, however it should be disclosed that the above editor, the article creator, has a strong COI.
@Greghenderson2006 isn't this your grandfather, or uncle or another one of your relatives? How many family-related articles on people, their businesses, associates, houses, etc. have you created thus far on your family and/or your wife's family?Netherzone (talk) 20:37, 24 January 2024 (UTC)- I'm uncomfortable with this continuous outting of Greg ("isn't this your <family member>") plus it has the appearance of punishment. See User:GreenC/The Instinct to Punish which explains this powerful instinct we have to punish people, and how it can become obsessive. Your better off sticking to the merits of the content and not who wrote it, back off from Greg. Finally, it's not clear this is a family WP:Walled garden as there are links to a notable reality outside the family, like an early partner in Avon. -- GreenC 06:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- @GreenC, with all due respect for your good work here, it is considered best practices for COI editors disclose their COI, per WP guidelines:
you should always let other editors know about it, whenever and wherever you discuss the topic.
. Re: “outing”, Greg chose to out himself years ago when he used his own family genealogy website extensively as a source on numerous articles, and also published his family tree on scores of categories on Commons. I’d also like to clarify that I am neither a punishment-oriented person nor do I have some sort of “obsessive” disorder, which, quite frankly, sounds like an attack on my character and/or mental health. Please don't do that again. Re: the walled garden, over the years numerous other editors have noticed this. I’ll strike my question as to the number of family articles, as that information can be found in contributions and talk pages. I would appreciate it if you strike your veiled PA. Netherzone (talk) 22:40, 25 January 2024 (UTC)- Well thank you for your appreciation of my work on Wikipedia, you do good work as well. I hope you understand the difficult spot it places Gregg to be interrogated during a consensus discussion over the specific details of his COI which could reveal his precise identity. Maybe he already did reveal his precise identity elsewhere, voluntarily, I don't know, but he is not required to do so here or anywhere, we should not put him in that position, and, it can be intimidating during a consensus discussion he may feel pressured. You are correct, he should have said he had a COI, but that's all that needed to be said by anyone.
- In terms of the essay User:GreenC/The Instinct to Punish this is not a personal attack like any other essay it is only something to consider. The essay doesn't concern "disorders", just the opposite, it's a normal trait in all humans. I can't really say your motivations are based in the desire for punishing the transgressions of a COI editor, I honestly don't know, and anyway, as the essay says, punishment is actually a requirement for group cooperation, it's a healthy normal thing in moderation. Another term for it might be group moderation, but then, we have also seen group moderation turn into hellish disruptions (see ANI at times) there are pitfalls we need to remain cognitive of. That is all.
- The WP:walled garden essay. You know that old saying, if everyone jumped off a bridge would you also? If multiple people are making that accusation that doesn't mean it's right. I'm challenging the walled garden assertion. I would encourage reading the essay if not already. The argument for a walled garden doesn't hold up not even close, by the definition of that essay. Possibly there are other definitions, including unstated ones. -- GreenC 02:32, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- User:GreenC - I like your essay on the urge to punish, and I think it is a real issue at WP as in every human community, and something to guard against, especially when dealing with someone who seems like they're serially violating WP policy.
- However, I don't think "outing" is the right frame for this situation, in a case where a user's handle and user page are clear about their identity, and most of their editing is on the pages of their ancestors, as documented in the Henderson family tree they themselves have linked to. This is self-acknowledged family history - it should not be taboo to point that out. Llajwa (talk) 23:56, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- The difference here is they are being pressured during a consensus discussion to reveal information that is not known and maybe Gregg doesn't want to reveal that information but if he doesn't answer he looks uncooperative. It's not appropriate to interrogate people or speculate about personal information, particularly during a consensus discussion. -- GreenC 14:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- A possible alternative to deletion is a redirect to Avon Products; a merge is not necessary as there is already info about him in that article.Netherzone (talk) 01:36, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per Netherzone's reference analysis. That an article has been around for a long time is not a valid rationale to keep. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:17, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- The fact that the article has a notable person in the founding of Avon and it has been created and reviewed since March 5, 2007, is a strong indicator that the article should (a) be kept as a historical reference to a founding member and to the history of Avon; (b) sources show his prominence in the business community and with the development of an international company, something akin to a startup today. (c) deleting this article just makes no sense. At the very least move it into draft space to allow time to enhance it. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:57, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think notability standards will be met, so I don't think that draftifying makes sense. Also how long an article has been around is a terrible indicator, particularly because of loose the notability standards used to be and because there also used to be far less oversight when it came to new articles. Having joined a company a couple of years after it was founded does not meet any notability criteria, most people who part of a notable corporation in its early stages are not notable and the lack of significant, reliable coverage for the subject reflects that. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:13, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per GNG. As background, Avon Products is one of the more important companies in American corporate history. It was one if not the first company to nationally sell cosmetics, at a time when cosmetics were considered somewhat scandalous to middle-class women. It pioneered direct sales markets ("Ding Dong! Avon Calling!" - this phrase might predate some readers, but would have been well know to everyone 50 years ago). Being such a notable company, it's early history is important. Multiple reliable sources confirm Henderson played a key role in its foundation. Those sources follow - not all currently in the article:
- Bender, Marylin (1975). At The Top. Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday. p. 34. ISBN 9780385010047.. This is an expanded version of an article journalist Marylin Bender originally published in the Times: Bender, Marylin (November 28, 1971). "Avon: Chiming True?". The New York Times.
- Manko, Katina (2021). Ding Dong! Avon Calling! The Women and Men of Avon Products. Oxford University Press. p. 258. ISBN 9780190499822.
- GNG's "significant coverage" does not require a volume of words. It can also mean the quality of the words ie. coverage which demonstrates notability. It can be a single sentence in length: "First man on the moon" is five words of significance towards notability. For the record, this issue has been debated forever at the notability guideline page. A number of the sources discounted by Netherzonev for length overlook what the words are saying. Sources are a combination of style (length) and substance (information) eg. it could be low information and long length, or short length and high information. Thus it's impossible to place length requirements on sources, which is why GNG has no length requirement such as 1 paragraph. -- GreenC 21:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- GreenC, respectfully, no one here is disputing that Avon Products is a notable company. (BTW, I too remember Ding Dong Avon Calling) Regarding the three sources you list, the Marylin Bender book has one sentence about him:
Alexander Henderson, the chemist who produced the perfume vials for David McConnell, invested a modest sum to get the venture going.
That sentence is later paraphrased/duplicated by the same author (in the NYT) statingExcept at the outset when Alexander Henderson invested a modest sum to get Founder McConnell started
. Are either the book or the NYT article about Henderson?....no they are not. Does this sentence compare to the sentence "First man on the moon"? No. And to propose they do is like comparing apples to the Apollo 11, or like comparing Alexander D. Henderson to Buzz Aldrin. I'm not seeing a link to the third source you brought, but would like to read what it says if you have a moment to post that here. Netherzone (talk) 22:05, 29 January 2024 (UTC)- The Apollo example is to make the point about "significant coverage" more clear, not to directly compare the notability of Henderson with that of Buzz Aldrin! (FWIW, Buzz was the second person on the Moon.) I did say the two Bender sources are similar, why they are under the same bullet point. The article first appeared in the NYT, and later in revised form in the book, with expanded information. There is no requirement that a source be "about" the topic, that is a common misnomer not supported by any policy or guideline. -- GreenC 01:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
(FWIW, Buzz was the second person on the Moon.)
Egzaktly! And Henderson was not the founder of Avon. He's been described as a chemist and a modest donor in these sources. Forgive my obtuse metaphor. Netherzone (talk) 02:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)- There is evidently more than 1 person notable in the early history of Avon, according to the sources. The modest sum is all it took. Many big companies start that way. It takes someone willing to take the risk when no one else will. -- GreenC 02:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Even if so (which I'd say would be debatable given he was not part of the company until 8 years after the founding date), being notable in a company's early years doesn't equate to being notable in terms of Wikipedia's notability standards. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- I just had a deeper look at the article talk page. Questions about his notability actually go back 12 years, to 2012. Netherzone (talk) 15:17, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

- Even if so (which I'd say would be debatable given he was not part of the company until 8 years after the founding date), being notable in a company's early years doesn't equate to being notable in terms of Wikipedia's notability standards. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- There is evidently more than 1 person notable in the early history of Avon, according to the sources. The modest sum is all it took. Many big companies start that way. It takes someone willing to take the risk when no one else will. -- GreenC 02:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- The Apollo example is to make the point about "significant coverage" more clear, not to directly compare the notability of Henderson with that of Buzz Aldrin! (FWIW, Buzz was the second person on the Moon.) I did say the two Bender sources are similar, why they are under the same bullet point. The article first appeared in the NYT, and later in revised form in the book, with expanded information. There is no requirement that a source be "about" the topic, that is a common misnomer not supported by any policy or guideline. -- GreenC 01:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- GreenC, respectfully, no one here is disputing that Avon Products is a notable company. (BTW, I too remember Ding Dong Avon Calling) Regarding the three sources you list, the Marylin Bender book has one sentence about him:

- Significant coverage does not require a volume of words. "In 1906, Henderson built a home in Suffern, New York, after having visited there as summer visitors several times. That house burnt down in 1941." It goes on to say "Henderson started as a bookeeper in New York City with the California Perfume Company (now Avon Products, Inc.), working his way up to vice president and treasurer." This is coming from a secondary source that is reliable and independent of the subject WP:BASIC. Certainly, this meets the basic coverage guideline. Greg Henderson (talk) 17:21, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- As previously discussed, the New York Times includes one-half a sentence about him,
Except at the outset when Alexander Henderson invested a modest sum to get Founder McConnell started...
. The "At the Top" source contains one sentence (by the same author) which statesAlexander Henderson, the chemist who produced the perfume vials for David McConnel, invested a modest sum to get the venture going.
It duplicates the same content, with slightly different wording. And "Ding! Dong!" page 258 mentions that his son took over from this Henderson (I'm seeing a snippet-view.) None of this is significant coverage; the latter two are books but each only seems to contain one sentence on Henderson. Netherzone (talk) 20:48, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Delete This article seems to be almost entirely WP:OR - I'm confused why there is controversy? The references are primarily to newspapers, periodicals and official documents contemporary to the subject's life. For a self-published family history, that is in fact best practice. But an encyclopedia is based on secondary sources which have summarized and digested such primary-source documents; it is attention from these secondary sources that establishes a historical subject's notability. Such secondary sources don't seem to exist for this person. Llajwa (talk) 22:53, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Lol. No. There is no rule policy or guideline that says that. Sources do not magically change from secondary to primary after 80 years, or whatever arbitrary line "historical" means. You should read WP:PRIMARY again. Look at the examples of primary documents: diaries etc... If you are still not sure, open a case at RSN, but believe me, historical newspaper articles are not primary sources.

- The article has secondary reliable sources specifically about the reason he is notable, helping in the creation of one of the most important cosmetic companies. Your arguments look like this:
- "He is only notable due to his association with Avon". Well, yeah. That's how notability works. He actually did something though, he helped create the company, that's why he is notable.
- "The sources are passing mentions" - not really, they speak directly to the reason he is notable: helping to create the company. Word count is not relevant. If he was on a list of international terrorists, name only, that too would be notable. It's the quality of the information, not the quantity.
- "It's all primary sources" - no, it's not. There are multiple books which are not primary, and are independent of the subject. Some primary is acceptable.
- "It's all trivia" - I can't reply to that because if you don't think he is notable, yeah it might look like trivia. But it's subjective.

- Alexander D. Henderson [Jr.,] Avon Products Director
- Alexander D. Henderson of Hillsboro Beach, Fla., a director and former vice president of Avon Products, Inc., cosmetics company, died Wednesday in New England Deaconess Hospital in Boston. He was 69 years old.
- Mr. Henderson, a native of Brooklyn, spent most of his early life in Suffern, N. Y. He had lived in Hillsboro Beach since 1951 and had been Mayor there for the last six years.
- The other NY Times article says:
- Avon's notably stable though aggressive manage ment style has been abetted by extraordinarily sound fi nances. Except at the outset when Alexander Henderson [Sr.] invested a modest sum to get Founder McConnell started (his son, Girard Henderson, an Avon multimillionaire, is still on the board) Avon ap pears never to have been starved for capital. Its last loan, $6‐million at 3⅜per cent interest was paid off in 1966. Next year's more than $30‐million in capital expend itures—some for moving headquarters to a new sky scraper on 57th Street—will be internally financed.

- Delete. El Monte CA is nowhere close to large enough that its mayors would receive an automatic presumption of notability just for existing as mayors — the notability test at the local level of office hinges not on minimally verifying that the person exists, but on maximally sourcing substantial content about their political impact: specific things they did as mayor, specific projects they spearheaded as mayor, significant effects their mayoralty had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But there's nothing like that here, and the article is based entirely on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, with absolutely no evidence shown at all that he has enough media coverage to pass NPOL #2.

Notability not asserted; in source 1 he is only mentioned, source 3 is a standard government profile that means nothing in terms of notability, source 4 is a promotional essay written by Quintero himself, and source 2, the only one worth anything, still is not sufficient for notability and is just a report on average city going-ons.

The issue remains that this doesn't look like a community: it looks like an isolated store as far back as I can see, including when the map labelled it "Yale". GNIS fails to explain why the name changed on the map, but it's not implausible to suspect that the former Yale Store turned into the Raftriver Store (sic). Whether or not this is the place where the post office was is anyone's guess. The redirect created the last time was moved to Raft River (Idaho) per naming standards, taking the old article history with it. Anyway, we can back this up the the last version of the redirect, or we could just delete it outright. Mangoe (talk) 04:23, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Redirect to Raft River. There is verifiable history that can be covered there, including a connection to Edgar Rice Burroughs -- see [54], [55], [56], [57] -- but I don't think it's enough to justify a standalone article. Jfire (talk) 06:54, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, the name mashing makes it more likely that this was a post office. The USPS had a rule for a while that post office names could only be a single word, and "Raft River" being "Raftriver" is one of thousands of examples of this. For what it's worth, Spence 2016, p. 58 also tells us that Lewis Sweetser, George Burroughs, and Harry Burroughs all went to Yale University together, and back in Idaho they ran a "Bar Y" cattle ranch and the "Yale" post office, both named for it.
This is another fictional present tense "unincorporated community" invented by Wikipedia editors spinning out GNIS records, of course. The Bureau of Land Management's 1981 management plan for the then new Oregon National Historic Trail mentions that the Raft River crossing area where the California and Oregon Trails used to meet was private farmland.
- Delete per information provided by Uncle G; the new information is sourced to maps. This article is factually incorrect as there is no such community (see satellite view of coordinates), and if there once were, we need sources that specifically call it Raft River and a community (as opposed to a post office). Normally I think redirects are a confusing waste of time, but in this case, since there is actually a Raft River, I could live with a redirect to that article as a second option.

- Comment This appears to be another "post village" with a general store and a post office acting as a focal point for the surrounding countryside. You can find references to the "Raft River community," e.g. on page 103 here [58], but I think the community in question is the surrounding farming / ranching community in the Raft River Valley, not an urbanized community existing at the location of the post office. I'm inclined to give it a sentence or two in the history section in the Upper Raft River Valley or City of Rocks National Reserve articles and delete this article. Jbt89 (talk) 19:41, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
- I would avoid Upper Raft River Valley. The same editor who created the article at hand created that one as well, based upon the fact that the GNIS database has a "valley" database record for the valley that the Raft River is in. (The record has feature class "valley".) Basically, one editor has given us three separate articles on the Raft River confabulated from GNIS database records. Uncle G (talk) 08:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Keep If you search for Yale, Idaho, there's quite a bit, including a reference that someone lived there for eight years in the 1880s and that there was a school there (History of Idaho, A Narrative Account... by Hiram Taylor French, p. 976, 1914), and a source from Wyoming in 1992 which says "but today there is no Yale, Idaho" (cannot access any more) and another couple records of people being born there. So maybe move this to Yale, Idaho instead? SportingFlyer T·C 13:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
- Doing so would be putting the usual post office plus school equals town fallacy into action. That fallacy is simply untrue for the 19th century rural United States (and Territories). Lewis Sweetser and the Burroughs brothers named their ranch, post office, and second dredging boat after Yale University. Ironically, the notable thing in the history books, that Clark C. Spence devotes a lot of words to, is the Sweetser Burroughs Mining Company. Uncle G (talk) 08:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- But isn't the entire point of GEOLAND to provide information if someone finds that XYZ was born in Yale, Idaho and then decides to look up Yale, Idaho?

SportingFlyer T·C 10:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is where the every map dot is sacred dogma comes up against the hard reality that that's simply not true, either. This is two fallacies, now. It is simply untrue that a post office plus a school equates to a town in rural 19th century North America. And it's simply not true that every gazetteer entry is a meaningful subject.
Here, the subjects one can find are (a) the ranching and mining, and the rural post office, done by Edgar's brothers with Lewis Sweetser and found in umpteen biographies of Edgar Rice Burroughs as well as the book by history professor Clark C. Spence, mining historian; (b) the Oregon Trail's final junction for the California Trail as found in umpteen sources on those, and as noted in the 1970s as almost completely obliterated by farming when the U.S. Congress decided to make it historic and put the BLM in charge of it, and decades earlier than but in the same place as the ranching at the crossing up from the mouth of the Raft River; and (c) the places in Cassia County: Almo, Elba, and Malta.
We have Raft River, Oregon Trail, Route of the Oregon Trail, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Malta, Idaho, and Lewis H. Sweetser articles covering all this, although we might be able to wring the mining company out as an addition as there's actually a lot to say about it, and although Cassia County, Idaho#Communities has more unwarranted inflation of things into "communities".
But what we are dealing with instead is two articles by An Errant Knight (talk · contribs), both based upon nothing but GNIS database records, literal gazetteer entries: the Upper Raft River Valley (a valley that is fundamentally interconnected with the river) and a confabulation of a couple of post offices into an "unincorporated community" of Raft River, Idaho.
Uncle G (talk) 15:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, but we also have multiple sources describing people and events from Yale, Idaho, which is generally enough to keep an article. I don't doubt for a second there should not be an article at Raft River, Idaho. I agree with the GNIS issue. I don't even mind if there is a redirect from Yale, Idaho to Sweetser as there's the most discussion of Yale there - not at the other places you mentioned. I just think there's the possibility for a valid article topic there, if someone were to do the research. SportingFlyer T·C 16:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Uncle G, the creator's talk page and contributions suggest they take their hobby very seriously, but the collaborative nature of the project less so. Drmies (talk) 22:24, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, we do not. You have not cited a single one. And before you start citing the observation well and gauging station reports, note that they are about the Raft River. The power line that you might want to cite was for the Raft River Electric Coöperative, which is, as can be seen by the name, a utility company for the entire Raft River Valley based in Malta, Idaho and whose full official name is the Raft River Rural Electric Coöperative. There's that word rural again, telling us that this is a rural area without population centres, where Yale is no more than a post office that people might give as a mail route.
Confabulating yet another "unincorporated community" from a post office named Yale is just as egregious an error as confabulating this article from a post office named Yale. This is a rural area full of ranches, which everyone agrees on from the Rural Electric Coöperative which describes how it serves a rural area and was founded by famers, through the Burea of Land Management when it surveyed what remained of the Oregon Trail in the 1970s and found it obliterated by farming, through to the autobiography where the person talks about his future wife having lived on a ranch with "nothing there". The detailed South Idaho Press piece pointed to below has this place's history as the site of cattle ranching with "no other inhabitants".
All these are as well as the Burroughs biographies and the professor of mining history telling us that Yale was a post office, who ran it, who named it, and why. We really don't need further "unincorporated community" fakery in Wikipedia at this point.

I nominate this find the GOAT-->https://www.newspapers.com/article/south-idaho-press-raft-river-valley-in-1/140175446/, Uncle G you can view that as well. It is cool. It describes the entire raft river valley in detail as it was in 1929. It says that Yale was a post office, and goes on to list the towns in the valley, neither Yale nor Raft river are listed. It confirms two things Raft river and Yale were just post offices, and that post office names had nothing to do with location. They are more often named by influential people, and not for the communities. We probably should delete Yale too since it's just a post office with a vanity name.James.folsom (talk) 19:21, 3 February 2024 (UTC) - This is the new GOAT This place actually appreciated it's history enough to write about it. If your still on the fence about deleting this, look here at this greater than 1 page article on the history of Raft river valley. https://www.newspapers.com/article/south-idaho-press-raft-river-page-1/140180273/ https://www.newspapers.com/article/south-idaho-press-raft-river-page-2/140179858/ These have additionally insight about how post offices related to the community.

- Or, indeed Raft River#History or the Oregon Trail further to what Jbt89 mentioned. These are good finds, but we still haven't made any more than what all of the Edgar Rice Burroughs biographies and Clark C. Spence the mining historian tell us, which is that Yale was a post office; and what the histories of the place in earlier times tell us, which is that two settler trails diverged just after the river crossing, which Raft River already mentions. it would be nice to see some of that history from those articles in Wikipedia. But we really do not need three separate "Raft River" articles, two of which are GNIS database records confabulations created by a single editor, to cover the Raft River, the Oregon Trail, and Sweetser Burroughs. Uncle G (talk) 08:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- The second is also really interesting because of what it says about post offices. James.folsom (talk) 22:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's certainly a real example of post offices just being people's houses; but I found it interesting because it described this very place as the Pierce Ranch with "no other inhabitants" in the area, with Jim Pierce selling to the Sweetsers, which connects the Pierce Ranch to Lewis H. Sweetser as Jim Pierce is mentioned in the Burroughs biographies, piling on yet more evidence from sources that this is ranchland/farmland. We're not short of stuff that Wikipedia doesn't have here, from far more detail on Sweetser through the Sweetser Burroughs Mining Company to a lot more detail of this junction on the Oregon Trail which our Route of the Oregon Trail article barely mentions; but the desire to write fake "communities" instead of the real history just because post offices get dots on maps, even to be seen in this very discussion, means that we get crap like this article at hand instead.

The show does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NPODCAST. While doing a BEFORE, I'm mostly seeing listicles with short descriptions of the show. I'm fine with using listicles for establishing notability if they actually contain significant coverage, whereas most of these don't even contain 100 words about the show and basically just copied from the show's description on a podcasting platform. The Discover Pods awards aren't bad, but it's not a notable award. Being in the top ten of a category on Apple podcast charts also isn't bad, but the show barely made the list.

- Theo Lengyel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Lengyel does not meet the specific criteria for notability of musicians: he was a member of Mr. Bungle, but criterion 6 requires having been a "reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles". I have been unable to find much coverage of his time with the band, and it's not fully independent (such as the semi-official history of the band); such sources as there are disagree on what year he left. The article was started in 2005, and in December 2023 I found it containing uncited specifics and the only reference on his career being a dead reference for a disparaging quote. I searched for sources and rewrote it like this. (Morbidthoughts has since removed the sources on his career as insufficiently reliable for a BLP, after I noted the article at the BLP noticeboard.) The impetus for my edit was that he was in the news as a suspect in the disappearance of his girlfriend. Since then her body has been found, and he has been arrested and is being held on murder charges. I had meanwhile redirected the article to Mr. Bungle, but the news coverage led .usarnamechoice to revert that redirection on January 4. There have been several news articles. In addition to the SFGate article we are currently citing for his being a person of interest, there are The Santa Cruz Sentinel and NBC News. In addition to SFGate and Pitchfork that we currently cite for his arrest and the murder charge, there are The San Francisco Chronicle, the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times. The latest news I can find is on a second deferment of his arraignment, Santa CruzSentinel, January 16. The vast majority of this coverage is based on police announcements; for example, the statement that he has also gone by Mylo Stone, which I have been unable to corroborate—there is a younger musician called Mylo Stone who is a UK rapper, so I have recently reverted addition of that reported alias to the article. The LA Times article describes Lengyel's vehicle and gives its license plate. But that and the Mr. Bungle sources are pretty much it for biographical details; we know more about his girlfriend, thanks to coverage like that Santa Cruz Sentinel article. So the article is in effect a WP:BLP1E and bad from a WP:BLPCRIME point of view. The two claims of notability are both inadequate and don't add up to enough for an article. It would be pure WP:CRYSTAL to hold that the legal case will eventually provide sufficient coverage to overcome the "one event" problem, or lead a music journalist to write about his music career. So although this discussion will take up the time of members of the community, I believe that this biography of a living person needs to be deleted. Yngvadottir (talk) 01:45, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

- Comment The TeX Gyre project has been covered in depth in the TeX User Group journal TUGboat a few times; e.g. A first look at the TeX Gyre fonts. But I think that'd at best support an article on the project as a whole rather than each individual font. Adam Sampson (talk) 13:24, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- Do you think a merge or redirect into TeX would make sense? Netherzone (talk) 15:05, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- If you were looking to merge into an existing article, I think a better target would be Nimbus Sans, since it's a version of that font. TeX wouldn't make sense as a target - the TeX Gyre project is not part of TeX itself, and the other fonts that are commonly used with TeX aren't covered in that article. Adam Sampson (talk) 01:08, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
- Neither TeX nor Nimbus Sans makes sense. TeX would be a bit like putting an article about the Linux Libertine fonts into an article about the Linux kernel. Yes, they share a part of their name and both are free (as in speech) software, but rather unrelated. In order to use the TeX Gyre fonts you don't need TeX because they are actually just regular OTF CFF fonts and are more related to PostScript and GhostScript, because they fill the gap of Adobe's 35 standard fonts in open source in general. To merge it with Nimbus Sans would be wrong too because the TeX Gyre project changed the outlines of the letters and added hundreds of glyphs. This is clearly not the same design anymore — and the project put also a ot of money into the Gyre fonts to pay font designer to achieve that. I would even say that TeX Gyre Heros is of way higher quality than Nimbus Sans. The reason why you don't find much about this font is that it lives in the open source realm and there is no marketing / thera are no advertisements, but it's available in many Linux distributions. One could say "we use it, but just don't talk much about it". Liebeskind (talk) 09:39, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - The assessment from the nominator accurately describes the current sourcing situation of the font. Reviewing the above discussion, it appears to have died without a consensus to merge to either TeX or Nimbus Sans, and I agree with the evaluation of Liebeskind in relation to that. Based on Liebeskind's evaluation, I don't think either of the previous articles are good redirect targets. Thus, I think deletion is appropriate. —Sirdog (talk) 04:26, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- If you don't want to keep it, I'd rather propose to merge it with Helvetica. TeX Gyre Heros is the closest[1] and truest free (as in free software) implementation of Helvetica. If merged with Helvetica, this quality should be emphasized. --Liebeskind (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
