Subject does not appear to meet the WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. A case of WP:BIO1E. Let'srun (talk) 22:28, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. First off, per the nomination, this person hasn't had the acting credits to rate notability under NACTOR. Secondly, I agree that there is a general lack of notability. I think the consensus is that only the win, place, and show of major contests/reality shows are notable. This person was 10th. Bearian (talk) 16:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a case of WP:BIO1E as mentioned, and I can't find much justification for a redirect either, as the subject doesn't seem to have done anything notable within Miss America 2007 other than take part. pinktoebeans (talk) 21:51, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to prod this article 2 and half years ago but it didn't work, I thought the article was about a title and not a person which was why I removed the categories, but I now realise that I was wrong and the article is about a person. Today, I redirected the article to Traditional chiefs of Palau, but it wasn't mentioned there and so I googled the person and couldn't find anything. I then attempted to speedily delete the article as vandalism/hoax which was probably a bad idea. (thanks @Bbb23: for reverting). Anyway the point is this person fails the notability guidelines.

  • Comment: Some coverage ([1][2][3]) but nothing particularly signfiicant online. Died in September 2011. The most I could find online was from the Marsh article, which states: Beouch Sakaziro Demk, 91, the first ranking chief of Ngardmau, passed away in September. He was of such distinguished merit that the National Congress honored him with a joint resolution attesting to his great community service, oratorical skills, and deep knowledge of traditions and culture. Seems to have been important, so this may be a case of Palauan sources not being available. Curbon7 (talk) 20:41, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Another detail: per this article, the chiefs of Ngardmau form a House of Lords in the state legislature with the power to suspend any law, but I was not able to find a source which states whether or not Demk was a member of this body. Curbon7 (talk) 20:51, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Role as Big Jule in Guys and Dolls was widely reviewed, including 1, 2, 3, biography in dictionary 4, profiled 5, and interviewed 6. Arguably meets WP:GNG if not WP:NACTOR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaireeodell (talk • contribs) 01:11, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete. These reviews do not say much about Sparber's acting, except that he was threatening. The refs say things like "Adding to the comic relief are minor characters such as Big Jule (Herschel Sparber), who lives up to his name as a no-nonsense gambler who towers over the small-time New York “Guys.”"2 Jule is a supporting character that is generally cast as a big, threatening guy. I didn't see any refs that give "substantial coverage" to Sparber's acting, and I am not convinced that any of his performances, or his roles in the aggregate, were encyclopedically significant. He certainly did not win a Tony or an Emmy and was not ever nominated for one, none of his TV roles were long-running, and none of his film roles seem significant. The appearance in a specialty voice actor encyclopedia is not persuasive, nor is an alumnus feature in his school paper. It would be more persuasive if his article were to explain the significance of any roles that are thought to be significant and if one could quote critics as saying that he was particularly effective in any of these smaller roles. The closest one, I'd say, is this. If we do keep this article, I would suggest adding in a lot of the information about him from this. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:49, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The reviews linked above do not have significant coverage. The inclusion of his bio in a biographical dictionary of Disney voice actors because of his Disney role as "Security Guard" does not show notability. The alumnus profile is too self-interested in lauding school alumni. The five-question interview with the Maryland Theatre Guide proves too much in that their websites contains plenty of these interviews with plainly non-notable people involved with Maryland theatre.

Tagged for notability issues since 2017. I agree with the comment User:HeliosBirdBrain made on the talk page. Should this be here? it doesn't seem like it has any notable features or history beyond being a hotel. It previously had ads, so it looks like it was just added for the take of the hotel more than documenting something of note?

I can't see any evidence of WP:GNG, WP:NCORP or WP:NBUILD. This hotel does not seem to have any historical, cultural or architectural significance. Being the 3rd tallest building in Sunny Beach doesn't cut it for me. Searches in Bulgarian and English only yield the usual travel and tourism sites and UK tabloid mentions of there being good deals at the hotel. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 22:18, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This, Kuban Resort and Aquapark, and Hotel Burgas Beach were each created in short succession for no other apparent reason that they are the three tallest buildings in said resort town -- and each "four-star hotels" -- so I don't see any reason to expect this one (or the others) would be notable. SilverLocust 💬 00:22, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a notable building, no significant coverage. The only sources in the article are a google maps link and one to emporis.com, which is just a listing for the tallest buildings in Sunny Beach, which is not in-depth enough.—*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 00:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if theres any SIGCOV here also for Vette like Atton. Despite being well written and time searching for possible sources at google search that mainly talks about the character; turns out only about torture and slavery. Kotaku [4] seems to be the only good source while others were about thr croticism of Daily Mail not about the character mainly. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 11:10, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series. Uses some outright unreliable sources, while most of the others are talking about the story of the game at large. The controversy bits have the same issue as the now-changed Controversies surrounding Mass Effect 3 article where the actual controversy is greatly overexaggerated to actually fill an article. It's a nothing burger as one might say, given the player isn't forced to do anything bad to her, you literally have to be roleplaying as an evil character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:15, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Nominator's argument is unconvincing and seems to be about the exact title the article has. The referenced articles were clearly relevant and reliably sourced. I suppose this might be an argument to merge the article as a subsection of something like Depictions of slavery in Star Wars or "...in video gaming", but the fact that it could go to either place suggests that maybe it's fine on its own. (To be clear, I'd also be opposed to an awkward rename like "Vette controversy" (Edit: by which I mean "Criticism of Vette") or "Reception of Vette", but if it helps, think of the article as really on that topic with the character as background, and held together best by a title of simply the character.) SnowFire (talk) 18:36, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If the only thing that makes her notable is a controversy, that is a problem as it would then qualify as a POV fork from the character article. Characters need to have more to their influence than just inciting a controversy over one trait of theirs. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:02, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That isn't what CSECTION means at all, nor is that what I meant above. Wikipedia covers notable disputes and controversies all the time. CSECTION is about not stuffing all the negative information on a topic into one section, and ideally not a spinoff article (BUT that's where there's already a parent article, which isn't what is being suggested). But we're off topic - I probably shouldn't have even said "controversy" for my hypothetical article title, but rather "criticism" in the sense of reliable sources discussing her, which is the base Wikipedia notability is made of.
Think about it from the reverse perspective: suppose some good, reliably sourced content exists. (Nom even admits article is "well written.") We shouldn't delete this content just because people can't agree what to title the article that contains that content. I think this content is held together just fine by an article called "Vette", but the nominator was worried that the Daily Mail didn't discuss other character-y parts about Vette enough. Fine, pretend it has a different title then is all I was saying. This happens all the time - we have some articles with the titles of video games that really comply with GNG and the default manual of style rather than the VG manual of style, because they are only borderline notable as games, but are notable for something else. This is the same deal - borderline notable as a character, more notable for something else, GNG is cleanly met (even if the "video game character" guidelines are shaky). SnowFire (talk) 05:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge I'm not particularly sold on Snowfire's argument or the article. I don't think the controversy as presented is enough to carry this subject on its own either, and may be a bit WP:UNDUE with how it's presented here.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:19, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The nominator created the AfD on the notion of a vaguewave, did no source analysis, and therefore has not established any actual rationale that the topic does not meet the standards of significant coverage. The potential for the shock collar to be used is an aspect of the character because she is portrayed as an actual slave, not unlike how some non player characters are accessible as a romantic option depending on how you choose to interact, which that could be a notable feature depending on how much third party coverage that aspect of the character attracts.
If the controversy, and by extension the character as explained by SnowFire, does not have any lasting significance, Religion Dispatches would not have done an entire case study after the shock value from the controversy died down, just to examine the likelihood of players to explore the potential of having a unsavoury or morally questionable interaction with this specific character. The study goes into great detail examining player agency. And not every source cited on the page is specifically about the controversy, or even specifically about The Daily Mail sensational piece (note that the Daily Mail is not even cited on the page). Some of these sources exist in direct response to the Daily Mail's piece, but plenty of their contents also specifically addressed the character directly and in detail. Again, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The article MassivelyOP, a reliable source which directly addresses the subject and in detail, does not even mention the slavery bit.
Lastly, the appropriate and relevant guidelines for consideration here are WP:SPINOFF and WP:NOTMERGE. The application of WP:UNDUE is not supposed to be about whether something should be spun out of a bigger topic as a standalone article, if that is what was implied. "Neutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources" No significant viewpoints published by any reliable sources support The Daily Mail's allegations. What would be undue is if reception about the character goes beyond more then one paragraph on the main Star Wars: The Old Republic page. Haleth (talk) 21:24, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The character seems to be discussed over several pages in this scholarly paper, in addition to the sources that already appear in the article. (I suspect there are other decent sources to be found on Google Scholar.) Josh Milburn (talk) 23:08, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    All of those are Q&A interviews with little secondary independent commentary. The first two even start with the same introduction!

    Now it is hard to imagine a player staying in the same club throughout his career, both in the top world leagues and in the amateur ones. However, there are incredible examples, and one of them comes from Dobanovci. Slobodan Lučić continues to perform for Budućnost, the club he joined when he was in kindergarten. Even according to the website Transfermarkt, he is officially the most loyal Serbian footballer , and he is in 13th place when all the players on the planet are taken into account!


    That's barely three sentences on him, nowhere close to SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 06:16, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Any news article that uses Transfermarkt as a reference is a red flag per WP:TRANSFERMARKT Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 09:57, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is also ""Boy from the neighborhood" is the best pseudonym for the portrait of the experienced defender from Dobanov off the field. He jealously guards the sports record, which is seventh in the world, because he is loyal to his home club. That's why for some it's Totti, for others it's Maldinini, for others it's because his physical appearance irresistibly resembles Ibrahimovic, Zlatan's doppelgänger... captain of Budućnost" and "The guy born on February 23, 1988 passed all the younger categories of Buducnosti, and made his debut for the first team - with a goal... during Lučke's career, he played mostly along the right sideline, sometimes forward, sometimes back". Again, clearly significant figure in Serbian football with ongoing career and 100+ appearances in fully pro Serbian First League not to mention onme of most long serving players in the world.

@Das osmnezz: As JoelleJay has said, all of the linked sources are interviews and so don't qualify under WP:SIGCOV. You did mention "many more Serbian sources", however.

@Das osmnezz: A paragraph or two at most, that are likely based upon the interview itself.

    Bobinho88 and Svartner, none of those sources qualify for notability. The first source is somewhat marginal, being three paragraphs, however it borders on WP:ROUTINE. Generally, biographies of living people need higher quality sources, so I would discount it. The second source is definitely WP:ROUTINE. The link for the third source doesn't work for me, and the fourth source is a promotional article about an interview. JML1148 (talk | contribs) 01:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: BLP, fails GNG and NBIO. Sources in the article and found in BEFORE are database listings/name mentions, nothing that meet WP:IS WP:RS with WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. BLPs require strong sourcing.  // Timothy :: talk  22:32, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in addition to the references provided above, there's also [13]. Yes, it's an interview. Which is fine as an indication of notability; what it's poor for, is sourcing - but that's not what AFD is about. Nfitz (talk) 00:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That's the exact same Q&A interview discussed above, just reposted on the FK Buducnost website.

Similar case to Hotel Annabella (AfD). I can't see any evidence of meeting WP:NCORP or WP:NBUILD. All I can find are just the usual travel and tourism websites, which don't confer notability.

Delete I can't find anything besides that Google maps area- which is likely what this refers to anyways. But in the source cited "معلم" is not mentioned at all. Google Maps and other maps are unfortunately not enough to demonstrate notability under WP:NGEO. We shouldn't assume notability, and so I'd delete unless we can find a government source referring to Moalem as a legal entity (rather than say, a neighborhood of Kermanshah) EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 20:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Searched really hard for articles discussing the character for SIGCOV (even in a "death by 1000 cuts" sort of way across multiple sources), and at most found this on Killscreen, which is more about his group than him. And after clearing out the pure listicles on here (and a few of the ones left admittedly still feel as such), there's no actual discussion: they're repeating the same few points over and over.

I want there to be something, some deeper analysis, but it just doesn't seem to be there for the character. There's no SIGCOV. He's known, but not notable. Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, thank you for nominating the article because it prompts us to improve it. I added three new references to the article. The references demonstrate news coverage outside of Irish markets, plus book coverage in "Epic Runs of the World". There is enough WP:GNG coverage for this event. --Habst (talk) 13:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw nomination Habst succeeded where I failed, and has shown it is notable. Thanks for your hard work, Boleyn (talk) 20:01, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Or, perhaps, redirect to Dingle#Sport. I note that, of the three references recently added, one was already in place (in the weekly local The Kerryman newspaper). Of the other two, the entry in Epic Runs of the World is perhaps 100 words long and is not what one would call in-depth coverage. I don't know anything about the The Garden Island source (a local Hawaiian paper?), but the piece itself seems like a relatively ROTM travelogue submission. Personally, after removing the uncited (and frankly promotional) editorial some years ago, and seeking to address the total lack of refs, I had noted that I could not find any substantive coverage. Hence, while I was able to remove the "no refs" tag, I could not justify removing the "notability not established" tag. And, frankly, am still not convinced that notability is definitively established. Hence cannot support a "keep". And would recommend a delete or (as an AtD) redirect. Guliolopez (talk) 20:06, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Guliolopez, thank you for responding and for verifying the sources. I added two more book citations to the article, including one indicating a notable winner of the 2009 edition. I think it would help if we had a German-speaking Wikipedian to translate one of the sources, as it seems I can't do machine translation on it. What do you think of the new information? --Habst (talk) 10:32, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Habst, with thanks for the follow-up and additional info (and in short), I think the new sources are trivial passing mentions. The first source, a biography of Gaelic footballer Weeshie Fogarty, mentions the subject just once. In a trivial passing mention about race-runner John Griffin. ("In 2009 at the age of fifty John [Griffin] won the Dingle Marathon"; Nothing more. Nothing about the marathon itself. This is the very definition of a trivial passing mention.) The German work appears to be a reprint/republishing of this running/travelogue blog. Again, not something that I could describe as in-depth coverage. It is also published by Books on Demand - a self-publishing company. And, even if it did cover the subject in depth (and I don't see that it does), would fall within the scope of WP:SELFPUB guidelines. Guliolopez (talk) 10:51, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Guliolopez, thank you for looking into these sources and thank you for correcting my misread of the My Beautiful Obsession book. I added some more sources into the article, including an archived page about what Runner's World had to say about the race, and some details about the ultra marathon course. What do you think about the new sources? --Habst (talk) 16:17, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi. I don't really rank the harrietscottage.com source very highly at all. It appears to be a small Airbnb style property in Dingle that has simply (partially?) republished this 2016 article from The Kerryman newspaper. Which, again, is local coverage. And, in this case, coverage by the event's titular sponsor. "The Kerryman" writing about "The Kerryman Dingle Marathon". Which is hardly independent coverage. Obviously so when you read the flowery tone of the article. In terms of what the original source states (that Runner's World "recently named" the event in a list of the "the 52 best races on earth") that would perhaps contribute to notability. However, I haven't been able to verify it myself. And, if it was the case in 2016, I note that the event does not appear (no longer appears?) on the 2018 edition of the "The 50 best running races in the World"... Guliolopez (talk) 16:35, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Guliolopez, thank you again for the source check. I have edited the article again, and provided another source, this time from Runner's World directly. I think that this coverage, if combined with the Epic Runs of the World book content, demonstrates notability. What do you think? --Habst (talk) 17:04, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect to Dingle#Sport. The sources are marginal at best, and Guliolopez has made a convincing case that this event does not quite meet WP:GNG. Jfire (talk) 16:37, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jfire, thank you for responding. What do you think about the new Runner's World source I added since your comment? Another angle to approach this article would be to write about notable winners, as I can find some sources reporting to that effect as well. --Habst (talk) 17:48, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. The Runners World piece is 3 sentences in a listicle for upcoming (in 2017) marathons in the British Isles, by what seems to be a contributor rather than a staff member (no other publications). The Lonely Planet blurb is similarly brief and travel guide-esque (puffy unencyclopedic descriptions). No reason to have this as a separate article.

  • Keep - First of all, for a band that is clearly notable, the usual procedure for an iffy album is to simply redirect it to the band's article. Even so, this nomination didn't bother to explain why the album is non-notable and shows no indication of any sort of WP:BEFORE search. It would take less time and effort to simply improve the article rather than going through this process, per WP:NOTCLEANUP.

Fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:NSPORT, or WP:WPMA/N. The article is currently just WP:PROMOTION and likely WP:COI. Since reliable independent secondary sources are so scant, that's likely all it will ever be.

It was recently "deproded" because it had already been put up for PROD in 2012. I went back and looked at the state of the article at that time and it claimed he was a 7 time world champion. I suspect that claim made it hard to delete without an AfD discussion. The claim was not reliably sourced and no longer appears in the article. Papaursa (talk) 02:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article created after Somerton was accused by a YouTuber of plagiarism as a redirect to said YouTuber. After that, the full article has turned into a non neutral description of an irrelevant controversy. WikiDasher (talk) 12:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. If this can pass BLP1E then obviously we keep the article, maybe reducing the secondary controversy about the "apology" video to a couple of sentences. (I didn't think it was too overblown until I went looking at how we cover Colleen Ballinger's far more infamous apology video and was surprised to see that we barely mention it.)
  2. If Somerton fails personal notability but the controversy does not then we should recast this as an article about the controversy. That would mean renaming and expanding the article to include the other YouTubers involved and to focus more on the general issues of lazy content mills and pseudo-academic YouTubers not doing their citations properly (or at all). (It would be ironic if we ended up renaming this article "Plagiarism and YouTube" ;-) )
  3. Merge this back to Hbomberguy in a reduced form.
I have yet to decide which I support, except that outright deletion is definitely not an option here. There is too much RS coverage for this to go away completely.
Maybe the next step is to try to determine exactly how notable Somerton is outside of this controversy with a view to answering the BLP1E question. My impression was that he was a fairly big fish in the Canadian and LGBT YouTube scenes and that his film production company, Telos Pictures, had attracted some attention before it folded. In retrospect, I realise that this may not actually be the case. Maybe he was just really good at bigging himself up and I fell for it? I think this could go either way.--DanielRigal (talk) 14:58, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think the plagiarism controversy is only relevant if the content he created were relevant. After googling his name, I don't feel he was very important in the LGBT community. WikiDasher (talk) 15:13, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I, however, agree with you in that the content itself should not be deleted. I would think moving it to Hbomberguy would be the ideal solution. WikiDasher (talk) 15:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or refactor. The article is 100 percent about a plagiarism controversy that sank an online influencer's career, with zero biographical depth even as an essayist. Selective merge back to Hbomberguy. However, I am not against refactoring it into a more general article about plagiarism on YouTube as suggested above. • Gene93k (talk) 19:37, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Refactor. In terms of Somerton's notability, its mostly his self-destruction. However, reliable sources also comment on his spreading of misinfo and the Telos film company scandal.
There are other queer YouTubers who are claiming other harassment from him; the ace couple on YouTube have suggested his coverage of the asexual community was horrific, and Jessie Gender has apparently been targeted by him during some scandal involving him targeting the Nebula streaming service. these are all youtube videos, which cannot be cited on wikipedia? homo momo (talk) 22:46, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
as the person who originally made this article, im a bit biased. I've been hoping these other scandals get more coverage, but as it seems to have died down a bit in the weeks since, i assume the plagiarism scandal will be the main thing that is notable about this guy. homo momo (talk) 22:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
one possible source that discusses james somerton outside of just plagiarism is this student journalism website that interviewed him a year ago. https://tigermedianet.com/?p=63554

  • Comment it seems that the notable thing here is the hbomber video and not somerton, we could move and expand this to cover that whole vid—blindlynx 02:18, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Hbomberguy. Feel like it could be better talked about there. WanderingMorpheme 23:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Hbomberguy, but I'd be open to a split article about the plagiarism video/controversy per DanielRigal's suggestion. Seems like that topic could pass GNG, and info about Somerton would be added there as appropriate. Regardless, the only other RS I could find from before the video was a Mary Sue article from 2022 which was updated in the wake of this controversy (but you can see the original in an archive).

  • Merge with Hbomberguy, we could probably just create a designated section of his page dedicated to the plagarism drama Cereally8 (talk) 04:13, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or refactor. After a bit more searching I'm in agreement with everybody else that there isn't enough here for a BLP. Maybe this could be an article about the video but, as it fails to mention any of the other channels called out for plagiarism, it would take some work to make rebalance it. Merging it to Hbomberguy might be the easier option. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:49, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge (selectively!) to Hbomberguy. Reliable sources are all about the plagiarism scandal, and most of them seem to be discussing Brewis' investigation and video more than they are discussing Somerton. Maybe there's an article on James Somerton plagiarism scandal or Plagiarism on Youtube to be written, but given how recent it all it it remains to be seen if there's any WP:SUSTAINED coverage, and given that everyone involved is a living person I would err on the side of not having an article which is going to be a perennial BLP/NPOV nightmare unless we are really sure it's important to have an article on.

Poorly sourced since it was created in 2009 by a user that ended up being blocked for such behaviour. I can't find any significant coverage that would satisfy WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC.

Kept previously because database sources showed that he had 2 caps. Being an international footballer is no longer a valid reason to have an article and WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC are, instead, the relevant criteria. I can't find any non-database coverage on him so I don't think that he even passes WP:SPORTBASIC #5.

  • Delete. There is very little to indicate notability. Most of the coverage is in non-RS (Newsmax, Fox Business TV segment). Source 8 (NY Times) does not mention Phelps. The subject released a book in 2023, but it doesn't appear to have been reviewed in any significant outlets, which means the subject doesn't meet author notability reqs.

Fails GNG. This article states that Jeremy Knauff is the founder of Spartan Media.

You should restore the article for the duration of the AFD and add the AFD tag to it.

  • Delete - Does not have significant coverage and I am unable to find any reliable secondary sources. Appears to be promotional. The only reference is from a somewhat-obscure awards show that doesn't have its own Wikipedia page. The article is full of chunks of edits from IP editors (62% of edits) whose only contributions are to this article which makes me think there is something suspicious going on with it. --StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 01:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment. There are 30,000 journals in Scopus. Why should there be an article for any of them, rather not just lists? (even then we would recreate the work of indexers).

    If you don't know why encyclopedias should have articles about things, see WP:PURPOSE. 30,000 is a fraction of all the journals ever published. By comparison, there are about 30,000 medical journals currently published. Add non-medical journals (physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, botany, engineering, ...), humanities journals (philosophy, arts, political science), law journals, mathematics journals... and I'd be surprised if that was even one tenth of all journals ever published.

    Comment. There's 7 million articles on Wikipedia. I don't believe anyone would want 500,000 of them be stub pages about some academic journal. Question. I was more interested in getting a reply to the second part of my comment. WP:JOURNALCRIT says
    It is possible for a journal to qualify for a stand-alone article according to this standard and yet not actually be an appropriate topic for coverage in Wikipedia because of a lack of reliable, independent sources on the subject. Independent, third-party sources must exist for every topic that receives its own article on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Verifiability: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.").
    With that in mind, can you offer some significant coverage about the journal, unassociated with thinkBiotech or Yali Friedman? बिनोद थारू (talk) 16:52, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Global Volcanism Program does no longer have an entry for this volcano and the only other source (doi:10.1016/S1367-9120(02)00081-0) is extremely undetailed.

  • Keep There are historical reports of a volcano, and this area has a history of volcanic activity[20]. Even if modern geologists might disagree (a big if?) it's not like this is a hoax. I've added a cite to an 8th century poem by frontier poet Cen Shen. Oblivy (talk) 03:18, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • That source talks about volcanic activity in the Permian more than 200 million years ago, a completely different topic than historical volcanic activity. We can't interpret that poem or undetailed historical sources as referring to volcanic activity; the Turpan-Hami basin knows coal seam fires (e.g this source) so unless a source distinguishes between the two scenarios, we can't know that the poem refers to volcanic eruptions. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • I understand the source is not one showing active volcanic activity, although I am led to believe[21] that there is an active fault line in that area. But the fact that you may doubt whether the historic record is accurate doesn't negate that there are historic sources which refer to volcanoes (the poem refers to a volcano near Jiaohe, not necessarily an eruption). You aren't going to be able to go back and interrogate historical sources from 1000 years ago - we have what we have.

        The article on Dauvergne, cited in the nomination, is a commentary on another traveler's report which notes reports of volcanoes in the area, although it focuses on European claims rather than Chinese ones.

        May I suggest that the way to resolve this is not to delete the article, but to contextualize the claim that there was once an active volcano in the area? Oblivy (talk) 09:31, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

        • I figure that there is active faulting there, but a fault is still a completely different thing than a volcano. The problem with contextualizing is that that poem is quite undetailed and a primary source, anyway. Kind of hard to call that WP:SIGCOV. I also wonder if the translation of the poem, Chinese word to the English word "volcano", is accurate. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:00, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
          • Dauvergne article is relatively significant coverage since it identifies the reports of volcanoes and then attempts to debunk. There's also evidence of an earlier claim (unfortunately can't access the article now, but it's what's being debunked).

            火山 is volcano. The poem title includes 郡在火山脚, "county at the foot of the volcano", and it includes the verse 火山赤崔巍 which is something like "red, towering volcano". Oblivy (talk) 11:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

            • Sure? Because to me and also to Dr. Regel that looks like a reference to Flaming Mountains, which aren't volcanic. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 11:15, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
              • Yes? 火山 means volcano (see [22] "Volcanoes are geological structures with special shapes formed when high-temperature magma and related gases and debris erupt from the planet's crust in the magma chamber under the earth's surface.")

                I suppose it's possible that there was some lexical drift from Tang Dynasty Chinese, but more likely the Regel interpretation is an orientalist gloss (split the characters, 海豚 becomes "sea pig" instead of "dolphin"). Somewhere I have a 19th century Chinese-English dictionary, but I'd have to search for it. Oblivy (talk) 11:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

              • Comment I have expanded the article based on the above discussion, to include Humboldt's work and the controversies over the existence of the volcano. Oblivy (talk) 02:32, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
                • Not very strong ones, though - Earth's landscape : an encyclopedia of the world's geographic features has no page number given and gbtimes article that gives no indication of its own source and is from a non-specialist. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
                  • Fair enough, I just wanted to show the article could be made into something that discusses the discussion of its existence, rather than the more controversial question of whether historical accounts were correct. The GB times one isn't mine. Oblivy (talk) 13:08, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I have edited the article to describe the controversy over the existence of the volcano. As it stands now, it no longer a claim that a volcano actually exists, but a documentation of earlier claims and later rebuttals to those claims. The original rationale no longer applies, and the prior votes are based on a version of the article that no longer exists. Thanks to @Jo-Jo Eumerus for their valuable input.
  • Either this article should survive deletion on grounds of WP:HEY or it should be relisted to generate further discussion. Oblivy (talk) 02:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hrm. Here I worry about the fact that we are talking about a volcano close to Jiaohe ruins (SW from Turfan) and also about the Flaming Mountains (NE of Turfan). Are we sure the sources are talking about the same area? It's these kinds of little incongruencies that are a problem in articles with only-barely WP:SIGCOV sourcing. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • If you look at a map, Jiaohe is about 10km down the road from modern-day Turpan. Both sit along the base of the Tian Shan. The "Flaming Mountain" moniker is applied to a long strip of the Tianshan, probably more than 100km wide (and the person who suggested the conflation of the two was writing about 10,000km away in London). Oblivy (talk) 23:38, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        • Actually, the person writing about the red rocks in Turfan was Johann Albert von Regel who lived in China and travelled the place and didn't even write in English let alone live in London. Uncle G (talk) 15:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of any place where the Permian is considered "prehistoric"; usually in both science and colloquial "prehistoric" means when humans were around but didn't write down anything yet.

  • So we have some old pems; Alexander von Humboldt saying there was a volcano in 1849; an 1881 source saying that Humboldt was wrong, and misled by the old poems, based upon the reports of Johann Albert von Regel who lived in China; and 21st century geologists also deciding that this is an error. And on that we are basing an article about a Turfan volcano. Why are we propagating this error 170 years later, and going back to the poems that have been contradicted for 140 years? Uncle G (talk) 15:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm afraid that delete remains clearly the right outcome here. Trojan efforts have been made to save it, but they are misguided, and we don't want a geography article about a non-existent structure.

      I don’t see the point in deleting articles just for the heck of it.

I can't find any results about the details of this monastery or its location in search results or on Google Maps but I did find a few tour operators that mention Serdzong Monastery as a tour destination. Might be a misspelling but the lack of results seem to indicate that, even if it does exist, it's not sufficiently notable for a standalone article. Kazamzam (talk) 02:15, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I think this may be Saizong Monastery (赛宗寺) in Xinghai County, though I'm struggling to find sources that use the spelling "Serdzong". There are lots of Chinese-language sources online about Saizong Monastery (here are a few: [40][41][42][43][44]), so if that's the correct topic I think it meets GNG. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:43, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mx. Granger - I agree that this may be the Saizong Monastery (phonetically in Tibetan that would be Saetsong, which isn't that far off), but given that there is so little information about the Serdzong monastery on this article it's difficult to confirm if they're the same topic or just two monasteries with similar names in Qinghai. If we can determine that this is the Saizong Monastery, we can add a redirect and a note for the Chinese name. What do you think? Thanks for finding all these. Kazamzam (talk) 03:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure. If the article is kept, it should of course use whatever name is most common in English-language sources, with redirects for alternative names. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 01:27, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If someone finds useful sources and wants to write about 赛宗寺, they don't need the page history here (there is effectively none) and won't benefit from this redirect (who would use it?). -- asilvering (talk) 01:52, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. The sources found by Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) about Saizong Monastery (Chinese: 赛宗寺) contribute to notability. Saizong monastery is the same monastery as Serdzong monastery, which is the same monastery as the Drakar Treldzong Thösamling monastery.

      Kanamaru 2000, p. 204 verifies that the Serdzong monastery is called the "Treldzong Gompa" and is in Drakar Treldzong. The source notes that "The monastery itself belongs to the Gelukpa order".

      Gruschke 2001, pp. 91, 274 notes that "Saizong Si" is the Chinese name of the Drakar Treldzong Thösamling monastery. The source notes that the Thösamling Monastery of Drakar Treldzong belongs to the Gelugpa order.

    2. Kanamaru, Atsushi (2000). Mapping the Tibetan World. Reno, Nevada: Kotan Publishing. pp. 203–204. ISBN 0-9701716-09. Retrieved 2024-01-11 – via Internet Archive.

      The book notes: "Places to See: Treldzong Gompa (Serdzong). The monastery is about 30km to the west, north-west of Xinghai, and at 3,600m it is far from other human habitation. Behind the site there are rocky peaks, and the surrounding area is called Drakar Treldzong, or 'Monkey Fort made of White Rocks.' This is one of the most sacred places in the Amdo region, and there are many other famous sites connected with Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) and Tsongkhapa in the area. The monastery itself belongs to the Gelukpa order, but the area is well-known as a place for trainee monks from the Nyingmapa order to practice asceticism. At Xinghai there are some 4-wheel-drive cars available, and to charter one costs about Y200 for a round trip to the monastery. Sharing the cost of the car is advisable; otherwise, the cost is rather prohibitive, as it is only 2 hours to the gompa. The landscape on the way is somewhat reminiscent of the Grand Canyon.

    3. Gruschke, Andreas (2001). The Cultural Monuments of Tibet's Outer Provinces. Bangkok: White Lotus Press. pp. 91–92, 181, 258, 274. ISBN 9-789747-534597. Retrieved 2024-01-11 – via Internet Archive.

      The book notes on page 91: "Their most important monastic centre is located at Thösamling Monastery of Drakar Treldzong. Like most of the region's lamaseries it is a late foundation (18th to 20th century), grown in size due to its location within one of the most important sacred sites of Amdo: Drakar Treldzong, the White Crag Monkey Fort, which is one of Amdo's four main power-places. ... Drakar Treldzong Thösamling: After a dozen kilometres the track becomes difficult, as it descends into the Tohoba Canyon. Some 30 km on the Gelugpa monastery Thösam Yönten Dargyling of Drakar Treldzong (brag dkar sprel rdzong thos bsam yon tan dar rgyas gling) is reached (Chin. Saizong Si)."

      The book further notes: "This large monastery has a rather short history. It was founded in 1923 by Rongwo Gönchen's 3rd Arutsang Lama (1888-1959) to fulfil his predecessor's last wish. At the beginning there was just a lama residence and several monks' quarters, but in 1927 a large extension was possible as the lama gained the support of local chiefs and Ngolok tribes, as well as chiefs from Kokonor, Qilian Mountains and other areas; then an assembly hall and a Manjushri Temple were built. In the early 1950s a larger dukhang with 100 pillars was constructed, as well as a gönkhang and a Maitreya Temple. Thus, within a period of only several decades, Thösamling Monastery developed into the largest lamasery in south Kokonor district and a Buddhist cultural centre for the entire region. By 1958, 18 stupas and 15 residential buildings were added and 28 tulkus were among the 520 to 620 monks. Reconstruction works began in 1981 and brought the monastery back to its former extensive size, with the large assembly hall as the core of the complex."

      The book further notes: "Thösamling Monastery in Drakar Treldzong is a spiritual as well as a ritual centre. The exoteric college established in 1929 is well-known and often visited by learned lamas from Drepung, Labrang, Kumbum, Rongwo and other famous lamaseries. They add to the local students' progress, while Thösamling offers various ritual activities for pilgrims and Buddhist believers of nearly the entire Amdo area."

      The book has a "panoramic view of the monastery" Drakar Treldzong Thösamling on page 181.

      The book notes on page 258: "Drakar Treldzong Thösamling, or Thösam Yönten Dargyeling (brag dkar sprel rdzong thos bsam yon tan dar rgyas gling), monastery in central Amdo (Xinghai county of Qinghai) 91f, 102, 181f"

      The book notes on page 274: "Saizong Si, Chin. name of → Drakar Treldzong Thösamling".

      The book notes: "Further south, the road crosses a mountain range to enter the more Tibetan grasslands in the county of Shinghai. This small county town is 17km off the main road, and a road continues across the Yellow River to link up with Tongte. Some 15km south of town, over a small river, is the remarkably attractive monastery of Drakar Treldzong, or White Rock Monkey Fortress Temple. There is a half-day kora around its craggy peaks and several retreat caves in the interior, some of which are associated with Guru Rinpoche and the important Amdo scholar Shabkar. A few nuns and long-haired Nyingma lamas are usually in attendance at the caves; the monastery itself houses about 400 Geluk monks."

      The book notes: "Drakar Treldzong (Brag dkar sprel rdzong), in Tsigorthang county, directly to the north of Machen county, south of the county town Xinghai Xian. White Rock Monkey Citadel, a mountain power place, is a fabled power place of Guru Rimpoche and one of Amdo's best known pilgrimage destinations. The five-hour khorra circuit around the peak includes the Great Guru's meditation cave and his Dorje Phuklam cave that has a skylight formed by the passage of his dorje; his consort Yeshe Tsogyel's hermitage, called the Khandro Tsokhang, the Assembly Hall of the Sky Dancers; a renowned sky-burial site; a bardo thang passage to crawl through; several self-manifest images with magical properties; sites relating to Je Tsongkhapa's stay in the area; a vital Geluk gompa with 300 monks; and several inhabited hermitages."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Serdzong Monastery to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
