Non-notable location; appears to just be an intersection with a store. No other information found. PROD was declined, but without other information that the two cited sources (which are insufficient for notability), this is a failure of WP:GEOLAND. The user who contested my PROD suggested a redirect to Freshwater, California, which I guess I could live with as an alternate, but this is such an obscure and non-notable spot I don't really see the point.

The last of the mass-created Franklin County post offices (you can certainly tell here because they forgot to change the name of the place in the body of the article: it still says "Dennison"). No there there, deleted GNIS entry, you know the drill. Mangoe (talk) 23:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mullingar Park Hotel (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)

With regret, as this is a fairly nicely-made article, I just do not see any evidence of notability, i.e. fails WP:GNG. It's just another hotel, in a country with hundreds. And there was a tragic event but with respect, that's not a reason for inclusion (nor the welder case). The lede and body need to show why this hotel is special enough to appear (in all of Ireland, I'd say that's true of maybe 10-12 hotels). Normally, I'd say this would at most be an item in a list in the Mullingar article. SeoR (talk) 23:06, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To avoid any confusion or unnecessary debate, I also see no evidence of meeting WP:NORG, WP:BUILDING, or any other article threshold. In general, individual small to medium businesses at most rate a mention in a local article, or in a list not subject to article-required rules. SeoR (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have stayed in Irish hotels. I am not expert on hotel notability. But "10-12 hotels" in all of Ireland! This is very tiny. There is Dublin (Gresham, Shelbourne, Clarence, Burlington, Merrion, Royal Hibernian, Berkeley Court, Wynn's Hotel, Dublin). I learn here James Joyce knew about Greville Arms Hotel in Mullingar. There is Kerry. There is other cities not in Dublin. I think 10-12 hotels a mistake? Hagesen 22:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a little off-topic but relevant to the principle in nominating this - to my mind, it takes a lot to make a hotel notable. I'm not even convinced about at least 2 of the current Dublin ones, and I'd say they're are a few in Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Galway, etc. - but this includes ones where the building is notable, and the hotel aspect incidental. Maybe the casual 10-12 is too low, but I seriously doubt the number reaches even middle double digits, however broad the criteria, and there are over 1,500 hotels licenced in Ireland, and almost 150 in Northern Ireland, so it's a low percentage, and that's fine. Others, if large, active or slightly notable, can be mentioned in their locality's article. And I do believe that this particular hotel simply does not make the cut. SeoR (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh. I thought they all had notability. But at least 2 of the Dublin ones are not! Is it Shelbourne? Or Clarence? --Hagesen 03:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Better yet if you could create an article List of hotels in Ireland. Cheers! Chanaka L (talk) 07:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
I am not trying to blow my own trumpet here. But kindly have a look at List of hotels in Sri Lanka, to get an idea. Chanaka L (talk) 12:15, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
"Why do we need this article at all?" Answer is someone on User talk:Stardomax - from WikiProject Sri Lanka? --Hagesen 21:59, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nominator SeoR writes "this is a fairly nicely-made article" and "an item in a list" is possible. Two days pass. It is written "I do not think that a redirect would be appropriate" - but that is all? Appropriate? What? I cannot find the Wikipedia:Appropriate guideline.
I hope the person who made the page can make List of hotels in Ireland better – later (yesterday I did some work to make a better target for now).
But he/she/they stopped work - because of all this? I do not know for sure. They have no edits after 2 January. When this page opened. Do they know what is happening?
They say they "have a great passion for helping others, and creating articles for others to learn" (user page) – so they make a page. A different page. Someone questions on their talk page. Then another page (this one) is nominated instead. One hour later.
It must be like they are under attack from everywhere - here, talk pages, edit summarys. Awful. I think this is lots for one person. Too much. It is their fault too they make a list that a person from Sri Lanka WikiProject asked to make? See above.
Maybe it is an accident. Maybe mistakes made by everyone. But if they feel miserable and cannot work right now? I think they can have 1 chance to work and make Wikipedia better - they cannot fix 1-2-3 problems at once?
Assume good faith is gone? Sad...
Redirect is fair result for everyone I think? Hagesen 22:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable athlete. Unable to find SIGCOV in reliable sources. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 20:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Olympics, and Oceania. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 20:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Ran as fast as a reasonably fast 14 year-old boy, had a quota entry to the World Championships, but a lack of athletic achievements means a lack of significant in-depth coverage. Should ideally be redirected to Nauru at the World Championships in Athletics, whence the useless Nauru at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics should ideally be merged. Geschichte (talk) 22:14, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I am unable to find much coverage at all, which is understandable considering his athletic achievements (or lack thereof). JTtheOG (talk) 05:55, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, thank you for nominating this article because it allows us to improve it together. This article was mistakenly AfD'ed based on a misunderstanding of the sources used. In Special:Diff/1192007359, User:InvadingInvader tagged and later removed the Fiji Sun reference in the article referring to WP:RSP. However, WP:RSP does not mention The Fiji Sun at all -- the only similar entry is for WP:THESUN, which specifically notes it only applies to the UK Sun and not to the separate newspaper The Fiji Sun. Unless a decision specifically about The Fiji Sun is made at WP:RSP, I don't think it was appropriate to remove that source while an AfD is being made specifically about lack of sources. Thank you, --Habst (talk) 14:20, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The Sun is still a tabloid. Because they have very similar logos and editorial styles, the UK Sun, US Sun, and Fiji Sun should be treated as one and the same. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 14:22, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @InvadingInvader, thank you for your response. That may be your opinion, but it is not the opinion of the Wikipedia community at WP:RSP. If that was applicable, the entry at WP:THESUN would say "The Sun (all editions)" or just "The Sun" instead of specifically "The Sun (UK)" as it does. Looking at the discussion, it seems like The Fiji Sun was never mentioned at all as it is a separate newspaper, so claims about that paper need to be made on their own merits instead of by association with the UK Sun. --Habst (talk) 14:27, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If The Sun has been marked as unreliable, let alone deprecated, it is reasonable to assume that all editions of The Sun are not to be trusted. In this case, we don't AGF on sources. If a source is contested, as I am now, especially on a BLP article, don't include it. Per BLP, be very firm on the usage of high quality sources. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 14:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @InvadingInvader, it is one thing to assume that all newspapers named The Sun are not to be trusted if WP:THESUN just said "The Sun", but it doesn't say that -- it says "The Sun (UK)" specifically, and it excludes fijisun.com.fj from its list of affected domains to search for in the rightmost column. What is your rationale for contesting The Fiji Sun? Looking at the home page, it appears to be mainly local news and not sensationalist or inaccurate coverage. Compare with the UK Sun's home page. --Habst (talk) 14:39, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you verify the stories' accuracy? Perhaps cross-referencing in other Fijian papers? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 14:46, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @InvadingInvader, thank you for scrutinizing our sources because it's important to use reliable citations. I couldn't find any contradictory or false information in any of the stories from my overview. I honestly do not think that The Fiji Sun is comparable to the UK Sun in terms of sensationalist coverage. --Habst (talk) 14:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    And furthermore why does he deserve to have his article not deleted? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 14:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @InvadingInvader, this article would deserve to be kept if there are reliable sources discussing the subject. I don't think it was the correct decision to remove a source discussing the subject from the article, while a deletion discussion is ongoing about sources. --Habst (talk) 14:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you find any other SIGCOV that doesn't come from a tabloid? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 14:31, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @InvadingInvader, thank you for responding. The goal of a deletion discussion should be to find coverage. Often times mentions in other articles can be a jumping off point to find that coverage, which is why I don't think it was appropriate to remove the Fiji Sun article, which I would not classify as tabloid journalism. --Habst (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there any other SIGCOV you can find? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 15:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting but this discussion may be ended before the coming week is over. Additional sources could change the balance of this discussion but given the hundreds of other AFDs I've seen on athletes and sportspeople over the past three years, this is not looking promising.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Zero coverage that I can see here. The Fiji Sun article has a trivial namedrop in a list, it contributes nothing.
JoelleJay (talk) 22:58, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thank you for responding. I found another non-database source which I added to the page, which covers Dagiero and confirms at least one fact in the article.

Not seeing significant coverage from reliable sources which are independent of the subject. The sources in the article Some trivial mentions (e.g. [1][2]), and he certainly is covered in non-independent sources (e.g. [3][4][5]). There is one source from NatGeo (which is explained in Justin Dunnavant § National Geographic) which appears to check all the boxes, but we need multiple sources for notability.

  • Keep. Satisfies GNG easily and by an exceptionally wide margin. There is an exceptionally large number of books and periodical articles on Indian criminal law, and they treat it as a single unified topic, and many are entirely and specifically about Indian criminal law as a whole. The summary style is not a content fork. We need to have an article that is an overview of Indian criminal law generally. The six statutes linked to do not contain the whole of Indian criminal law. There was criminal law in India before any of the statutes listed were enacted. For example, the Criminal Law (India) Act 1828 (9 Geo 4 c 74) was a (very lengthy) compilation of criminal law provisions from earlier statutes. There are many other Indian statutes that contain provisions that form part of the criminal law. India is a common law country, which means that roughly on the order of half the criminal law consists of judicial precedents (see eg [6][7] amongst other works, and the books of reports of cases might run to a much larger number of pages than the books of statutes). That case law is not part of any statute. There are principles of criminal law that go beyond the wording of a single specific statute, and it is entirely possible to analyse and classify criminal laws in a way that does not consist of discussing the whole of one statute at a time. Indeed, it is necessary to adopt this approach for a country that still has many uncodified offences. If there is no overview article, it will be impossible for readers to find most of the criminal law of India. We need this article for navigation. A redirect to the penal code is especially inappropriate, because the criminal procedure code, and all the other statutes creating criminal offences, are as much a part of the criminal law as the penal code is. James500 (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the avoidance of doubt, I am not aware of any actual original research in this article in its present revision (which I last edited several minutes ago). The article contains verifiable content not included in the other articles, and a great deal more can and should be added. James500 (talk) 13:43, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the avoidance of doubt only: The following books about Indian criminal law were published before 1860, and their content has nothing to do with the Penal Code of 1860, or any of the criminal procedure codes: John D Mayne, A Treatise on the Principles and Practice of Criminal Law, 1st Ed, 1859 Catalogue, Preface to 1st Ed of 1859 reprinted in 2nd Ed of 1865; Baynes, The Criminal Law of the Madras Presidency, 1848: [8]. 1858 [9]; Beaufort, A Digest of the Criminal Law of the Presidency of Fort William, 1850, [10]. 2nd Ed, Pt 1, 1857 [11], Pt 2, 1859 [12]. There are also chapters on criminal law in Morley's Analytical Digest, 1850 [13]; and on criminal judicature in his Administration of Justice in British India, 1858 [14]. A history book covering the pre-1860 period is Banerjee, Background to Indian Criminal Law [15]. There are chapters on criminal law in general works on Indian legal history covering the pre-1860 period, such as Banerjee's English Law in India [16]; chapter 16 of Sinha's Legal History of India is "History of Criminal Law . . . in India before . . . the Indian Penal Code" [17]; chapter 26 of Mittal's An Introduction to Indian Legal History is "Criminal Law before . . . Penal Code" [18]; and so on. WP:DETCON says "Consensus is ascertained by the quality of the arguments given on the various sides of an issue, as viewed through the lens of Wikipedia policy". James500 (talk) 10:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you, James500; those are excellent citations to add to and expand the History section of Indian Penal Code, which covers the legislative status prior to 1860. Owen× 13:00, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the avoidance of doubt only: The "History" section of the IPC article is presently entirely concerned with the drafting of that Code. It says nothing about the pre-1860 laws. James500 (talk) 13:17, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's right, hence my use of the word "expand". A brief historical review of the status of criminal law in India prior to 1860 is relevant to the IPC article, but does not, I believe, justify a standalone article. the fact that both Sinha and Mittal bundle their coverage of the 1828 Act and other pre-1860 laws under the single heading, "before the Indian Penal Code" suggests to me that the material can justifiably be included in the History section of the IPC article. Owen× 14:19, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    In all fairness, what the chapters in Mittal and Sinha actually establish is that the topic of "History of Indian criminal law before 1860" satisfies GNG in its own right. The logical inference is that the "before the Penal Code" language indicates that Mittal and Sinha are treating that period of history as distinct from, and irrelevant to, the history of the IPC (which does not begin before the First Law Commission started drafting the IPC). Mittal treats the penal code as part of his chapter 27 on "Law Commissions and Codification" (notice the IPC does not even get its own chapter in either book). Similarly Sinha has chapter 12 on "Codification in British India" and chapter 13 on "The Indian Law Commissions . . .". I think, however, that retaining this article would be more practical than creating "History of Indian criminal law before 1860" from scratch. James500 (talk) 15:20, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect makes the most sense in this case. Dr vulpes (Talk) 01:00, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A redirect would make the least sense, because the penal code is not the same thing as the criminal law. In fact, the penal code is not even close to being the same thing as the criminal law. Redirecting this page to the penal code of 1860 would be worse than redirecting United Kingdom to England, because this article has much less overlap with the articles on its subtopics, and the articles on its subtopics don't cover anything close to the whole of the parent topic. James500 (talk) 12:13, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirects aren't to a page that is the same thing. The target is an existing page that we believe will best serve a reader searching for that term. Of course the criminal system in India is more than just the 1860 Act. However, the article about the Act contains not only relevant information, but also links to the criminal procedure and evidentary laws.
    Everything in this page is already covered in other articles here, better written articles with better sourcing. I'm not convinced we need a top-level page about criminal law in India, especially if it's a content fork, but if you want to turn it into a DAB page rather than a redir, I'll support. Owen× 17:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The penal code and criminal procedure code articles do not include everything in this article. They do not, for example, mention the offences under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, the Food Adulteration Act, the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 or the Defence of India Act.
    More importantly, the penal code and criminal procedure code articles do not include, and probably could not include, a large number of criminal laws that are not part of those codes (and are not amendments to those codes). Where, for example, are we supposed to put the Admiralty Offences (Colonial) Act, 1849 and the Admiralty Jurisdiction (India) Act, 1860 (which are apparently still used in cases of piracy)? Where are we supposed to put the Act of 1828 [19], let alone the earlier Acts that were repealed by it [20]? Where are we supposed to put the pre-1860 criminal statutes and pre-1882/1973 criminal procedure statutes (some of which were repealed long before 1860 or 1882/1973)? Where, for example, shall we put these Acts (which applied to India in addition to the code)? Where are we supposed to put rules of common law? And all the other criminal laws.
    The penal code and criminal procedure code articles are not particularly well written either. All of these articles need to be greatly expanded and to some extent rewritten. James500 (talk) 16:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    True, the proposed target Criminal Law in India doesn't mention the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, the Dowry Prohibition Act 1961 or the Defence of India Act. Each of those have their own page. We can certainly add these specific acts to the "See also" section in the target. The Criminal Law in India article doesn't tell us anything about these laws other than that they exist. This could be handled just as well in a DAB. Or better yet, a category such as Category:Criminal Law in India - we have enough separate articles to make such a category useful.
    The "History" section of our page is currently talking only about the IPC. If there's anything in it that isn't covered by the History section at the target, let's merge it into the target. The "Issues with IPC" section, in its current form, isn't encyclopedic. Perhaps a rewritten "Criticisms" section, with more than just one TV show as source, would do a better job, but those should go into the individual articles about the respective act they address. Criticism not aimed at a specific Act should go into Law of India.
    You asked, Where are we supposed to put the pre-1860 criminal statutes. I think the natural place for that is in the History section of the IPC article.
    If the Admiralty Offences (Colonial) Act, 1849 and the Admiralty Jurisdiction (India) Act, 1860 are notable, they deserve their own article. If they aren't notable, perhaps a mention in Piracy#South_Asia would suffice.
    As to rewriting the IPC and the criminal procedure code articles, I agree, and I'm happy to leave that rewriting in your capable hands, James500. Owen× 20:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Putting Acts in a "see also" section fails to explain what their relevance is. The present article at least tells us they create offences. A law book would normally try to group related offences together. For example, the Defence of India Act, 1915 was held to be in pari materia with "An Act for the prevention, trial and punishment of offences against the State" (Act 11 of 1857). Presumably both could be put under the heading of "offences against the State", on that basis, if they remain in this article. That would more informative than putting them in a list of miscellaneous statutes in random order.
    I support the creation of a category, but I must point out that it is WP:NOTDUP.
    I have removed the "Issues with IPC" section for the time being.
    I do not think that criminal statutes repealed in 1828 should be included in the IPC article, since the code was passed more than thirty years after they disappeared. I think their inclusion would be an anachronism and irrelevant to a code passed in 1860. I do not think the history of the IPC includes the whole history of the criminal law.
    I could put the Admiralty Acts in Piracy, but how would readers be able to reach that page from the IPC article (which gives no indication that piracy is an offence in India)?
    Even if we resolve all of these particular problems, how are we going to fit a large number of statutes into the IPC article without swamping it? James500 (talk) 22:22, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I got my law education from textbooks arranged by course topic: Common Law, Criminal Law, etc.; I'm assuming you did as well. The arrangement you describe follows that pattern. However, Wikipedia is not a textbook. There is no editorial onus on us to make sure the reader finds out about the Admiralty Acts unless they specifically search for it.
    That said, I think a navigation template accompanying Category:Law of India, similar in style to Template:Taxation_in_India or Template:Law enforcement in India, subdivided into Constitutional, Criminal, Civil, Administrative, etc. would provide the reader with an easy way to navigate through all the relevant topics under the broad umbrella of the legal system in India, and would be far more useful than the current attempt to aggregate all criminal-law-related articles in one introductory page. Would you be interested in building such a template? Let me know if you need my help. Owen× 22:57, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Encyclopedias like "Halsbury" also follow the pattern I described. I do not think they are intended to teach or instruct. What WP:NOT actually says is that WP articles should not contain "leading questions and systematic problem solutions as examples". I do not think that navigation links, or a logical arrangement, or an arrangement that happens to facilitate navigation, constitute teaching or instruction.

  • Redirect for now per above, but I think an overview article can be written that summarizes each of the laws and links to the appropriate pages using {{main}} hats. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirecting the page would make it harder to create such an overview article. The reason I have not attempted to expand the article with the many missing laws etc is because people keep !voting for redirection; and especially because they keep !voting for redirection without, as far as I can see, citing any applicable policy or guideline. Editors will be reluctant to expand a (redirect or article) page on a notable topic if they think the community might respond with a WP:BLAR; and they will be especially reluctant to expand such a page if they think the community might respond with a WP:BLAR for content reasons that do not seem to be based on any particular policy or guideline (which makes it unclear what the community wants), and which seem to impose a deadline on expansion and improvement. Further, redirection will also impair the development of the missing articles and article content in this area of the project, since it will eliminate the list of criminal laws. James500 (talk) 10:54, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    James500, how about the following compromise: we Merge the article into the Law of India#Criminal law section, with the same depth we did with the Tax law section there, leaving the current page as a redirect to that section. If the section grows too large for embedding in Law of India, it will be spun off back into this page, with the original page history intact. This way, you can keep improving the Criminal law section under the parent page at your leisure, without having the sword of AfD hanging over you. The question of standalone notability can be readdressed once content and sourcing are at a more mature state. Sounds workable? Owen× 13:12, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no question about the standalone notability of this topic. Do you want me to go through the books and periodical articles on Indian criminal law, one at a time, and explain the extent to which they are not about the Penal Code of 1860 (or the criminal procedure codes, for that matter)? The topic is not a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of the Penal Code, because that guideline applies to "2 articles about the exact same thing", and the Penal Code is significantly less than half the criminal law. Conversely, criteria 2 and 3 of the information page WP:NOTMERGE do apply. I do not wish to risk becoming involved in a cycle of merging, splitting, re-merging, re-splitting, and arguing about whether there is "enough" wikipedia content to split. The purpose of GNG is to prevent the merger of stubs on notable topics. James500 (talk) 16:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I am no longer talking about the Penal Code of 1860. My latest proposal to you is to merge the contents as a section in Law of India, seeing as consensus here is tending towards not keeping the article as a standalone page. I thought you would find my compromise appealing, seeing as it offers us the opportunity to continue improving the contents, albeit as a section in a bigger article. Regardless of what is the correct outcome, inflexibility and resistance to compromise makes it difficult to work on crowdsourced, consensus-driven projects like Wikipedia. Please reconsider. Owen× 16:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You have not offered a compromise, and it is WP:NOTCOMPULSORY for me to edit the article Law of India. I intend to withdraw from this discussion now. James500 (talk) 18:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Galobtter, the subject of this article is supposed to be the idea (NB: not the term) of a woman trapped in a man's body, which is the opposite of Blanchard's transsexualism typology. It is the story that trans women had to tell their psychologists (plural, because they had to convince two of them that they believed this) in the 1980s and 1990s, or they'd be denied access to gender-affirming medical treatment. Do you think that's the same as just Gender identity in general? Or maybe Gender essentialism? WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well the article as it exists, both before the recent removals and now, is not really about the story - there was only a small section on it before the removals. It is mostly about Blanchard and his supporters arguing against the concept in general. And I think gender identity/gender essentialism is the right article to talk about someone feeling they are different gender than their body (i.e. a woman trapped in a man's body) and how they might describe it.
    But yeah I guess a redirect might not be right, even if the article as it stands right now is about Blanchard arguing against this, and the specific term of "feminine essence" seems a Blanchardism. Galobtter (talk) 03:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, there's an NPOV tag at the top of the article, and I suspect it, or other tags like it, is deserved. Ever since Blanchard published something that re-cast the familiar old narrative in theoretical terms (which is what you'd need to do if someone wanted to do serious research on the subject), we've had problems with POV pushing about it. It's taken significant work by several editors just to keep the article from being any worse than it is.
    @Aquillion, I see you saying something similar. What exactly about Blanchard's typology makes you think that woman trapped in a man's body has anything to do with it? The subject itself goes back at least to Ulrich's anima muliebris virili corpore inclusa, and the fact that Blanchard happened to write something about it does not mean that it's his idea. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:36, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As you say, the term and its use significantly predate Blanchard's work. That to me suggests that the redirect for woman trapped in a man's body is targeted at the wrong article. What the correct target for that redirect should be I don't know right now. I'd need to have a look at sources, and ultimately that may be something better discussed at RfD.
    Depending on the sources, there may be sufficient coverage to write a broader historical article about how trans women had to use that concept to get healthcare in the 70s-90s, divorced from the strict confines of Blanchard, if such a thing is not already covered in another preexisting article. But I don't think the existence of the redirect should preclude the deletion of this article, if that is where the consensus of this discussion eventually lies. s Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:30, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    This conversation is where the idea for the article started. There were two competing stories at that time. The first was that trans women had some essential quality that made them be true women. Depending on the times/culture, the named quality might be ineffable (e.g., "a woman's soul" during the Victorian era) or physical (e.g., "brain sex"/gender identity is neurologically determined) or something else, but whatever it was, it wasn't genital anatomy and it wasn't necessarily the cause/etiology (in the sense that we'd use that term in a medical article), but it was the thing that makes all women (cis and trans) actually be women. The second story was Blanchard's taxonomy. This article is supposed to be about the first story. A merge/redirect to the story it competes with would be a way of erasing its existence. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:46, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    But this is exactly what I'm talking about below. This is a classic example of a false dichotomy. Having "a woman's soul", having a "female brain", neurologically determined gender identity, and the idiom of being "a woman trapped in a man's body" are four different things, no matter whether Blanchard thinks they all sound similar to him. Loki (talk) 02:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They're all basically gender essentialism, no? "All real women have women's souls/women's brains/women's ____, and I have one of those, so that makes me a real woman", right?
    I agree that the words "woman trapped in a man's body" is not the same as the idea communicated with those words. Articles, including this one, are generally supposed to be about the ideas, not about the words. The article at Cancer is about a fact of reality, not about the words we use to describe that reality; Woman trapped in a man's body should also be about a fact of reality, not about the words we use to describe that reality. WhatamIdoing (talk) 03:10, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Err, no? For one, "woman trapped in a man's body" really is just a phrase. It's an idiom that conveys, basically, just the concept of being trans itself.
    "Women's soul" is certainly gender essentialist, and having a "female brain" is arguably essentialist, but having a neurologically determined gender identity isn't essentialist either. This is why I feel it's so important to distinguish these concepts from each other and why this article ought to be deleted as, again, a strawman Blanchard made up by mashing a bunch of concepts together. Loki (talk) 08:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that these are meaningfully different, and I think that "woman trapped in a man's body" is better described as an explanatory narrative than as "just a phrase". This book calls it the wrong body discourse. This one calls it "the wrong body trans* narrative", and condemns it for being "safe and understandable from a cisgender perspective". This one calls it "a transgressive narrative" that "became the definition of trans femininity during the modernist period despite" being wrong. This one calls it "the 'wrong body' narrative" and says that it was medically constructed and imposed on trans folk by medical gatekeepers. This one also calls it "the wrong body narrative" and says that trans folk differ on whether it is imposed involuntarily on them. This one calls it "a popular experential discourse". This one calls it a "discourse" and says it wasn't a common discourse in Fiji (where one can be "a woman inside" without feeling "trapped in a man's body"). I didn't see any that said it's "just an idiom". Do you have sources saying that it's just words and not a narrative? WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:25, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only significant sources for the article seem to be from advocates of the Blanchard typology who use the idea as a straw man. The original author of the article is also part of the small group that advocates for the Blanchard typology. The sources even after cleanup are from these few advocates (Bailey, Blanchard), not mainstream independent reliable sources. The article subject does not meet criteria for general notability as defined in WP:GNG. Hist9600 (talk) 04:30, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Hist9600, if what the article currently describes is a strawman, what do you think the non-strawman description would say differently? WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure why that is relevant to this discussion. There is a lack of objective evidence that the subject of this article is generally notable. Just because a metaphor or analogy may have been occasionally used, does not mean that Wikipedia needs an encyclopedia article about it (WP:GNG). Hist9600 (talk) 01:00, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Have you looked at the prior Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Feminine essence theory of transsexuality? We decided back then that there was objective evidence that the subject of this article was generally notable, and there won't be fewer sources available now than there were back then. Even the editor nominating the article agreed that the subject pre-dated Blanchard's comments on it and that his concern was with who wrote it (it's tricky to balance Wikipedia:Comment on content, not on the contributor with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest) and the generally terrible state of the article (WP:TNT). WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I've read that discussion, and my main takeaway is that some sources were used improperly and should not have been part of the article. The other takeaway was that User:James_Cantor was the main proponent of keeping the article, and that you appear to have been in very close agreement with him on a number of issues. Hist9600 (talk) 14:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ten editors !voted to keep the article, and you've singled out its initial author as "the main proponent of keeping the article", even though he made only one (1) edit to the AFD page, and three others posted more words on the subject than him? Your conclusion doesn't seem logical to me. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not impressed by a few votes when I see the actual discussion, and the poor rationale. It doesn't even begin to hold up today, nor should it have then. We can see that sources were added inappropriately through a process of original research and synthesis. The sources that actually mention this concept specifically are so limited that they basically boil down to two promoters of the Blanchard typology (Blanchard and Bailey). And as we all know, the Blanchard typology is not mainstream. Hist9600 (talk) 05:35, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I feel the need to point out that the vast majority of the removal was in this series of recent edits by @Aquillion, and is as mentioned above per consensus on the talk page. The majority of the edit summaries are about removing sources that don't actually relate to the topic, and from what I've seen these descriptions are accurate.

Also, the nominator did specifically say that the "the OR making up the majority of the article was recently removed per a talk page discussion." Of course if someone wants to contest those removals they can, but I'm confident that overall they were proper - most of the sources simply didn't discuss the idea of "feminine essence" at all. --Aquillion (talk) 09:08, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments as nominator:
    • Addressing merging: The article consists almost entirely of primary sources from Bailey/Blanchard (and in once case, Dreger). Their views are considered WP:FRINGE to the extreme, and there is no Wikipedia article that would be improved by shoehorning in their primary opinions.
    • Addressing keeping: As other's and myself have noted, the concept is itself a non-notable strawman that conflates 1) a narrative and 2) all scientific arguments that there is a biological basis for gender identity (though I'm more partial to the earlier term "psychological sex").
      • All arguments towards keeping have relied on claims of notability but 1) the original AFD was including the OR in the citation count, 2) WAID's research is showing the notability of a different topic with a different name, not Blanchard's strawman (though I appreciate it and would be happy to work with them to include the "Wrong Body discourse" in a standalone article or broader one), and 3) google searching "feminine essence" and "trans" returns a lot of sources completely unrelated to the topic and is most likely how the article got filled with OR in the first place.
      • The etiology of transsexuality requires top-tier MEDRS sourcing. Blanchard says[21] Contemporary proponents of this view also generally hold that the female-typical structure of the gender identity center(s) is congenital and Dreger says Thus the trans person has a sort of neurological intersex condition, typically understood to be inborn. The Endocrine society's position[22]: Considerable scientific evidence has emerged demonstrating a durable biological element underlying gender identity.
      • Bailey and Blancard are explicit[23] it's a narrative in their eyes because According to the feminine essence theory, the differences between homosexual and heterosexual transsexuals have no bearing on the origins of transsexualism per se. Here's the CDC's statement[24]: Gender identity and sexual orientation are different facets of identity. Everyone has a gender identity and a sexual orientation, but a person’s gender does not determine a person’s sexual orientation.
    • We have articles already on gender identity, gender essentialism, the Causes of gender incongruence, Sex-gender distinction, and Classification of transsexual and transgender people that cover from a NPOV the various topics Bailey and Blanchard conflated to rail against. This article has never existed as anything other than a poorly-sourced and OR-filled POV rant about how all scientific arguments for a biological basis for transsexuality must be a "narrative" because "according to us [Blanchard and Bailey], any trans woman who's not straight must in fact be transitioning for a different reason than the straight ones". TLDR: there is no way to salvage such an egregious POV-fork of multiple topics written by a FRINGE activist to prop up his FRINGE activist friends. In case my position wasn't clear: delete. Your Friendly Neighborhood Sociologist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 21:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that it's "a different topic with a different name". I think it's the same topic, which has had multiple names. The choice of names can be very political, even within medical/scientific subjects. If a pariah calls it "feminine essence theory", then all the people who need to talk about that subject but want to show their virtue by shunning him are going to come up with a different name. It's still the same story: trans women are trans women because they are in the wrong body, not because they're whatever names Blanchard et al. called them. When the real world uses multiple names for something, we're supposed to have a single article about them – not one for Chronic fatigue syndrome, a separate one for Myalgic encephalomyelitis, a third one for post-viral fatigue syndrome, a fourth one for ME/CFS, and so forth.
    I'd love to see a source that explains how the common and popular (among lay people) wrong body discourse/narrative is significantly different from what Dreger and Blanchard described. Have you found such a source yet? I haven't. I'd rather have the article at a title like Wrong body narrative than under its current title. I think that a good article (which we don't have), outlining the variations, popularity among the Western public, and criticism of it (e.g., that it's fundamentally cissexist and Western), would IMO be valuable.

Also meets WP:GNG which says that subjects that have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject are notable. The following sources demonstrate that Oberacker meets both of these standards.

I'd argue that list (and the edits to the article you made) very much show there isn't anything close to reaching "significant" work or coverage of the level of warranting a separate article at this point. The most heavily sourced are reviews for two musicals that already have their own articles (and frankly need more detailed review sections) so are most appropriately placed there, which leaves a BLP stub that consists of new material that amounts to a single award they won and a one word mention of another musical they did an adaption of.

Per WP:NLIST, One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. As the term is a WP:DICDEF, this is the criteria which seems to apply, however I cannot find a source grouping the term under multiple different conditions. Seeing a few of the listed entries, the list inclusion seems to me like original research and I find it concerningly similar to phrenology, although contacting the author they assure there is no connection to phrenology. I am not so inclined to draftify, because the grouping under the dictionary definition symptom does not seem salvageable to me.

Note that while the user who created the article is a sock, the SPI is resolved with the user now editing under only the account Runabout5921 (talk · contribs). I see similar issues with list of conditions with craniosynostosis but would rather see how this AfD goes first. Darcyisverycute (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Visible Noise is a reasonable WP:ATD. As it was recently created, draftifying the article to allow Thermicknight7 to find better sources would also work. SailingInABathTub ~~🛁~~ 20:32, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Thermicknight7: Sometimes, it's just not viable to have an article about a subject if they don't meet the necessary criteria for notability. It isn't a negative reflection on the author, if created in good faith. Draft is one option, but if they aren't notable, that is potentially a waste of people's time. Redirect is another option, but I noted the other band by the same name, so the consideration is why we would redirect to the label of one of them but not the other.

While only the topos at https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/#13/40.4168/-86.9292 from 2010 and 2013 have a label, that was copied in turn from GNIS (lots of circular junk in some recent ones) and the 2016 update removed it – which did you check that show a community??? Even if it were a neighborhood later incorporated into the city at some point, that doesn't mean it's notable or needs a standalone article. Reywas92Talk 16:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete I have no idea where the Indiana DoT got the name "Summit" from, but in any case its appearance on the topos is brief and appears to have been copied in from GNIS and then deleted again. The actual spot is one end of what used to be a small rail yard that seems to have supported the gravel pit or whatever it was to the southeast; otherwise what we have there is the airport and an area of the Purdue campus which seems to have been quite recently cleared of what appear to have been "temporary" residence halls or the like (the road names suggest they were thrown up right after WW II). There's absolutely no reason to think there was anything town-ish here without some supporting text reference. Mangoe (talk) 17:52, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looking at the map pin that is on a building of Purdue Airport and saying "valid village" is bonkers behaviour. The even madder thing is that the GNIS has claimed since the 1980s that there is a "ppl" here, somehow mysteriously in what was empty fields in 1930 and an airport from 1934 onwards, according to the several history books of the airport and the university.

    If there had been a village named "Summit" in the middle of the airport hangars, people, Amelia Earhart would have noticed it. Dave Ross bought empty fields, farmland. It's even in a couple of the airport histories that the landing field was accidentally planted with crops one summer. There was no village.

    This is the most utter prima facie falsehood nonsense from the GNIS mess that I have seen, I think.

But, looking at the history of the article, he reverted it for the sole purpose of updating the coords and the GNIS id.

  • Comment I was thinking about what I learned going through the 19th century papers. There were two general uses of Summit in common use to refer to a place. One was the The Summit of Indiana which is where the divide that causes water to flow either into the gulf of mexico or the great lakes lies. It is not near this summit. The other usage is to describe a place where flooding would not occur. Looking at the TOPO; I believe the location of this Summit is that. It's perched on a cliff over the river, so it's not a suitable place to settle because there is no water access for trade. That river I gather, flooded a lot before flood control was implemented. So I think, Summit is where everyone went with their things until the water went down. It's a large flat area above the city that is easily accessible.James.folsom (talk) 21:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:V in that there do not appear to be sufficient sources to show notability and the sources which do exist appear to suggest that he may not have existed. At best this appears to be a candidate for a complete rewrite making it clearer that it was likely a mythical person. But even if that was done, I'm not sure how it would be possible to verify the details. Maybe there are more details which could be found, but without a study published by a historian on the topic, I don't think this page does much more than to repeat an old rumour.

The same search in Google news brings up five stories in the UK press since 2010, demonstrating sustained coverage over more than a century. While his identity is uncertain I don’t think we can assume he was “mythical”, and the uncertainty about who exactly he was, though he was wanted for the murder of three policemen and Winston Churchill took personal charge of hunting him down, was one of the reasons why he has been so widely discussed.

    I notice you didn't search on Google Scholar or in paywalled academic journals. There is a decent amount of coverage of the organization and its activities, i.e. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36], which added together would be enough for GNG but probably not NORG.
    I didn't thoroughly research the others, but I would say some sort of merge to an article about HIV/AIDS research would be superior to deletion, since there is encyclopedic content that can be written about them. (t · c) buidhe 06:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I searched on google scholar, DDG and DDG news. I did not do a paywalled journal search. My concern is NORG, as I understand it, these organisations publish plenty of research, and the sources you provide could be used for vaginal microbicide for example. As far as a parent article to merge content, two options are Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination and/or Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. As can be seen at this image, the web of organisations is big, and these articles I nominated were just the ones in the cluster I couldn't find sources reporting about the organisation itself. Darcyisverycute (talk) 07:36, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    NORG coverage includes coverage of an organization's activities, such as organizing trials of vaginal microbicide (see Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Examples_of_substantial_coverage). The reason it may not count isn't because the content is irrelevant but it may not be in depth enough for NORG. While it's not necessarily trivial to find a merge target, WP:Alternatives to deletion should be considered before an AfD if there is encyclopedic content worth preserving. I would support merging any of these to a parent/sponsoring organization or to HIV/AIDS research (t · c) buidhe 07:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that is what I meant, significant coverage for a topic unrelated to the org (the study objectives and the topic) and not enough coverage for the org and their specific research practices. On its own, I didn't think the three stubs have enough salvageable content to warrant a merge request since their sources are all either primary or not significant coverage, which is why I chose to nominate. But considering the sources you found, maybe the content is worth keeping through a merge when backed up by secondary sources, even if it's minor on its own. Darcyisverycute (talk) 11:27, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Studies run by the org are not "unrelated to the org" any more than reviews of a restaurant's food are unrelated to the notability of the restaurant. (t · c) buidhe 20:06, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To meet NORG (i.e. WP:ORGCRIT), we need at least two independent, reliable secondary sources with significant coverage. To my understanding, the only difference between NORG and GNG is the condition that the sources are also secondary sources. Studies run by the org are not independent or secondary sources, so they cannot meet ORGCRIT. In any case, NORG generally overrides GNG as NORG is a subject specific notability guideline, although in both cases these are just guidelines and not policies.
    Some restaurant reviews might meet NORG and GNG criteria based on their contents and sources; I am not sure how far to entertain the hypothetical other to say that "it depends". I had a brief glance at the sources you linked, as far as I could tell none of them were both independent and significant coverage. If you still believe the articles warrant keeping, I would kindly appreciate if you could list the top three (or perhaps just one) sources which meet this criteria.
    The source Bluerasberry found is good, although it may not be secondary I am inclined to ignore that if we can find another source of similar quality. I would much rather keep these articles and expand them, and I concur with Bluerasberry that it is unfortunate these kind of orgs avoid media coverage.

  • Unsure I started this article years ago. The organization closed in 2021 so there are unlikely to be new sources about the org. The org itself wrote a summary of its history; my guess is that it could have spent and consumed about US$100 million from its existence in 2005-2021, doing about 40 medical research trials in many countries, including 12,000 participants. The best reliable source I found about the org is from small town radio, which is nice and counts, but I always regret that these grand multinational, multigovernmental community research projects avoid all media attention. There are lots of sources about the organization's individual clinical trials and their outcomes. It is common practice on Wikipedia that when an individual artist gets attention for their art but not as a person that we keep the biography. When we have stubby articles like this about organizations which could only be built out by describing their programs but not the org itself, we typically delete. Medical papers do not make for good Wikipedia narratives. This org merged into the HIV Prevention Trials Network, which is much bigger. I could support a deletion or redirect/merge of the wiki content here. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. The only reference (besides being in a list on Libertarian Futurist Society website saying it was nominated for an award) is the subject book itself. I'd say merge into the author article, but there is really no material to merge. Just self-description sourced to the book itself and unsourced praise written by the wiki-editor.

Relisting comment: While technically eligible for soft-deletion, the fact this was created only a couple of weeks ago, plus the sockpuppetry here, means unlikely a soft-deletion would 'stick'. Relisting for further input.

Term does not appear to actually be used. Zero results in scholar. Zero results in books. There's a cite to a paper by Bhatia and Hazarika where I assume the name comes from, but "Bhatia-Hazarika Limit" doesn't seem to be a term. ~ A412 talk! 06:20, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nomination, not notable. Only one existing article reference mentions the limit and that is a ad-supported site, one paragraph with no references. Johnjbarton (talk) 16:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without redirecting anywhere. This is a neologism for a concept that wouldn't deserve its own article anyway (how including rotation changes the Tolman–Oppenheimer–Volkoff calculation). The cited paper by Bhatia and Hazarika is about something else and doesn't even include it. XOR'easter (talk) 17:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. Currently there are only primary sources referenced, and a before check only comes up with brief mentions such as [[47]] and [[48]], which aren't nearly enough. Let'srun (talk) 03:48, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect. I am still not seeing the SIGCOV required by SPORTSCRIT. A brief announcement in a Detroit newspaper about him being elected captain of the Michigan Aggies is routine news, and a local obituary submission is clearly not INDY or SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 20:55, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Free Press article, from the largest newspaper in one of the U.S.'s largest cities (Detroit), contains approximately 160 words and is directly about Hultman. A sometimes quoted standard, although not set in stone, is WP:100WORDS. It clearly is significant coverage, especially considering the subject here (captain at a major school, extensive top-level NFL career, 100 years old, pre-internet, not great access to sources). We need to use common sense here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:100WORDS is an essay, not a guideline. WP:SOURCESEXIST is also not a suitable keep argument. Let'srun (talk) 15:40, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is, but it explains a policy. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, so you are now saying that this article doesn't meet the GNG and BASIC and instead IAR is the reason this should be kept? Just trying to understand under what policy you think this should be kept. Let'srun (talk) 19:26, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It does meet GNG and BASIC. I am saying that we need to use common sense to come to that conclusion and that IAR would also be a valid reason to keep if it did not pass GNG/BASIC. Of course, it does, so... BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
