Delete — regarding WP:NGEO, although WP:NPLACE does say that populated areas are presumed to be notable, I can find essentially nothing in reliable sources covering, or even really trivially mentioning, Triáns. One solitary mention in a document from 1916. Clearly does not meet WP:GNG. GhostOfNoMeme 22:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I've changed my mind regarding WP:GEOLAND. I believe it is satisfied. I think Triáns is notable enough and its existence as a legally recognised populated place suffices. GhostOfNoMeme 23:07, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Clearly a recognised settlement, as any look at a map will determine, so satisfies WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:17, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain how it satisfies WP:GEOLAND?

Note under sources it states: "A feature cannot be notable, under either WP:GNG or any SNG, if the only significant coverage of the feature is in maps." GhostOfNoMeme 00:23, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable... Nothing ambiguous there. It is a longstanding consensus on Wikipedia that recognised settlements are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:42, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is presumed to be notable — but as I quoted above, significant coverage cannot solely be maps. Right? For Triáns, there is no WP:SIGCOV outside of maps. Am I misunderstanding the policy? The essay WP:NOTGAZETTEER seems relevant. GhostOfNoMeme 08:43, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is an essay. And that's all it is. It is a fact that we have generally given verified settlements the benefit of the doubt at AfD. Have you actually read what I wrote below? -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
After some consideration I accept your point of view and I agree. I have changed my vote accordingly. GhostOfNoMeme 23:08, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
delete without prejudice to recreation with enough information and sourcing to allow verification. There's no way to tell that it exists and is a settlement with what we have, and it's not AfD's job to write the article. Mangoe (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Proof it exists and is a recognised settlement. Plus the former parish school is listed as being on its territory. Plus an Iron Age fort. Here is its status as a settlement confirmed on the municipality website. Clear verification of its meeting WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:05, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it does meet WP:NGEO - it's a very, very small place, but we can confirm it not just with Necrothesp's sources but using Google Street View of all things, there are signs to it and a sign when you enter the village. SportingFlyer T·C 00:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep meets WP:NPLACE as a recognized, populated place. Wikipedia has tens of thousands of stubs on low-populated settlements. Nothing special here. Longstanding consensus is that these are presumed notable. C F A 💬 03:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep and improve. I agree that being elected in the Federal National Council makes him notable as a politician; though that section of the article seems in need of expansion. There seems to be some issue with censorship and government control of media in UAE; there are no consensus yet on some of the sources for the article. Much of the coverage is also due to a single philanthropic act (though of course, pledging half of his wealth is a big deal.) Prof.PMarini (talk) 19:03, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prayz Network

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

Subject does not have the WP:CORPDEPTH needed for a standalone article. The only sources currently in the article are primary and a search elsewhere didn't come up with anything better. Let'srun (talk) 21:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Radio, Companies, Christianity, and Wisconsin. Let'srun (talk) 21:49, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak redirect to List of radio stations in Wisconsin: All of the network's stations are in Wisconsin, and all but one of them (that lone exception being the acquisition of a former non-religious station) were built in the early 2010s — radio stations that new almost never get the significant coverage they would have gotten decades ago. A clear remnant of the "if there's FCC licenses involved, there's some level of notability" stance that was finally shut down by this 2021 RfC (a situation made worse if the network technically falls under the stricter NCORP than GNG). The redirect is only really to preserve this article's own redirects at WTPN, WWJC, and WEQS as {{R to list entry}}s; as "Prayz Network" itself (as opposed to the stations themselves) is not mentioned there, it may be more appropriate to only retarget those particular redirects and delete the article altogether (and to be clear: if it were not for those redirects, this would unambiguously be a delete). WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:32, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, do not redirect. The consensus threshold for inclusion for radio station articles is much higher today than it was when I created the article in 2015, and I fully agree with Wcquidditch's assessment of the level of notability of the individual stations. Yet, as Wcquidditch also stated, the article's own redirects could be retargeted separate from "Prayz Network", which itself is not mentioned in "List of radio stations in Wisconsin". Moreover, the network holds a permit for a station in Minnesota, making the list article even less appropriate as a target.--Tdl1060 (talk) 19:30, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a judge, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for judges.

Delete. In some other languages, "osirica" can simply mean "things related to Osiris" (as it did in Latin), but in English it seems to only have this specialized meaning, the purported Egyptian proto-Masonic order found in some Afrocentrist fringe beliefs. There don't seem to be any reliable sources about it online. Most of the online uses of the term in that sense appear to be regurgitations of this Wikipedia article (which has languished in this direly underdeveloped state for nearly twenty years!). The article attributes the term to George G. M. James's book Stolen Legacy, but it doesn't seem to actually appear there. The only English-language results I can find in Google Books are in the works of Yosef Ben-Jochannan, who used it to refer to the Egyptian mystery schools that were originally posited by James, and in books that are later than and presumably downstream from Ben-Jochannan's. One could argue that this page should redirect to the article on Ben-Jochannan, but I'd prefer that it didn't. The word does have a meaning in other languages, and Ben-Jochannan's fringe theory shouldn't hold the patent on it. A. Parrot (talk) 22:30, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Literally no sources listed in the article... This [5] which doesn't seem a RS and some footnotes here [6]. I don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 03:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As others have mentioned, a quick search for academic sources offers little in the way of credible sources.

The verifiability of the sources that mention this subject have been widely called into question, so if the article remains, the content should change to highlight that this is a fringe theory (and reflected in a name change > Osirica (fringe theory))
Regardless of the verifiability of the subject, the lack of sources (and the lack of detail: off-cuff mentions are not significant enough) infer that this article does not meet standards on notability
What can be found on the wider internet mentioning the subject seems to be citogenesis/backwards copy, where instead of basing content on the existing published sources, Wikipedia has become somewhat the "authoritative voice" on this subject: [7] [8] [9], etc. Obviously, it's antithetical to what Wikipedia aims to achieve.

Merge into Midland Main Line upgrade seems appropriate as suggested by Mackensen. If there's a prior history of a rail yard here, there could be a notable topic here (and that would be something like "Wellingborough railway yard"), but I'm not familiar with British railway history. To give a comparable example in my area, this transloading terminal in North Haven, Connecticut, United States isn't notable itself, but the larger facility it's part of (Cedar Hill Yard) is. In any case, I don't see any evidence right now that this facility is itself notable. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Those dog breed websites cited in the article aren't reliable sources.

They also write the same low quality generic articles on every possible hybrid combination there is. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They're websites about dog breeds, writing lots of articles about hybrid breeds is kinda the point, no? I'm not sure how they're unreliable or how the articles are generic/low-quality. They clearly aren't made using generic information, they contain specific facts such as litter size, height, weight, health risks, and other information that requires actual research or knowledge about the breed. For example, the wagwalking source contains information about possible eye colors, possible nose colors, coat variations, coat thickness, hair texture, major and minor health risks, brushes used for grooming, and way more information that can't be considered generic. Di (they-them) (talk) 21:34, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How are they reliable to begin with? They assert the same generic information for every dog breed that cannot be sourced anywhere actually reliable, or if it is it is just copied from Wikipedia. These websites plagiarise and bullshit so they appear in search results and advertise dog food or pet insurance.

>they contain specific facts such as ...

And how on earth do they have this information? These are novel crossbreeds so where is the reliable source for this information? How can something with absolutely 0 mentions in veterinary literature have accurate health information about it?

The sites claim the pugese has a predisposition to granulomatous meningoencephalitis, but this is obviously information they've just copied from their article on the Pug into the pugese article without any basic fact checking. The mutation that causes encephalitis in the Pug is recessive and doesn't exist in the Chinese Crested, so a hybrid of those two would not be able to contract it.

Redirect to List of dog crossbreeds. There are a lot of crossbreeds covered by these breed sites, but none of the sources are particularly reliable or indicate this is a popular mix beyond that it exists. The wagwalking source is the only one with any substance, but reading closely it's entirely generic with copied phrases or generalities about the pug and the chinese crested that they presume apply to their cross rather than actual data. They have hundreds of such pages for mixes, including 33 for pug mixes, which does not establish notability whatsoever. Reywas92^Talk 02:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Fails GNG. No significant coverage in reliable sources. I checked Google Scholar and Google Books and couldn't find anything else. I'll also note that this crossbreed is not recognized by any of the kennel clubs listed on WP:DOGS/RS#Establishing notability which, along with GNG, is the standard for establishing notability for dog breeds and crossbreeds.

Cross-dressing in film and television

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

This is a list article about an incredibly common trope in film and TV, and, though enormous, is wildly incomplete and biased in its coverage. I've been watching it for a while and it's not getting any better (it has had a citations needed tag for 13 years), plus there is a frequent problem with editors accidentally adding trans characters. I believe the current version fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTTVTROPES, and MOS:TRIVIA, and if there were to be an article with this title connected to scholarly discussions of cross-dressing in media, it might be better to start over.

Keep - That's not a good policy-based reason for deletion. The essay WP:NOTTVTROPES is an essay and as such may form the opinion of some users, but also, it more precisely argues how a good article may look like and so the current article could be edited through improvements to the article, not deletion, which centers more on notability and arguably, there is plenty of reliable sources that have discussed the portrayal of cross dressing or drag in film and television that does warrant encyclopedic discussion (such as negative stereotypes of some portrayals and the cultural implication and many other noteworthy things such an article can discuss). As such while even many of the examples in the essay are linked with "bad" and "good" - you can see all of those were improved through article editing, not deletion.

If you have editorial concerns, then you can be WP:BOLD and improve the article to contain more encyclopedic information in addition to the current lists about appearances.

Also, it seems that there is currently a split proposal for the article and an existing draft for the split that had some discussions - Draft talk:Cross-dressing in television#Overlap, list and title issues that you may want to join and help if you are passionate about the area. Raladic (talk) 18:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect back to Cross-dressing#Across media - A quick search shows that the actual topic of depictions of cross-dressing in media is potentially, and very likely, notable. However the nominator is correct this this list is a completely WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of poorly sourced, largely non-notable trivia, rather than any kind of genuine discussion on the topic based on reliable sources. Further work developing a proper article on the topic should be done at the appropriate section of the main Cross-dressing page, and then potentially spun out to a separate article if needed. The same should be done at Drag (entertainment)#Film and television (which never should have been combined into a single list to begin with), however given the specific title of this article, the redirect only makes sense to point to the Cross-dressing article. Rorshacma (talk) 18:25, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very much support redirecting it, glad to see this topic is well covered in encyclopedic fashion in these two places, including an appropriate number of examples, making this article even more superfluous. BrightVamp (talk) 18:30, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. ”Wildly incomplete” is not correlated at all with the notability of the topic. It is entirely appropriate to have this topic split out and has more than enough content to justify its own article. GraziePrego (talk) 22:33, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Expanding in response to the point raised by Rorshacma- while there are content problems on this article that make it appear indiscriminate, the problem lies with the content that is there, not with the actual intent and topic of the article. It is entirely possible to rework this article into something that doesn't fail WP:INDISCRIMINATE, so it should be kept and worked on instead of deleted. GraziePrego (talk) 02:09, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, yes, exactly, that was entirely my argument for Redirecting to the main Cross-dressing#Across media section and reworking it there before splitting it back out. It preserves the history of this list in the (very unlikely IMO) chance that any content here would be useful for doing that, while simultaneously keeping a list that badly fails the WP:INDISCRIMINATE policy out of the main space of the encyclopedia. I am really not seeing a convincing argument as to why it would be preferable to leave this as-is while any kind of reworking is done. Rorshacma (talk) 02:16, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a notable topic which would overwhelm the Cross Dressing article if merged or expanded there, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:38, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - All of the "Keep" votes are only commenting on the notability of the topic, but that was never a concern brought up in the nomination. The list being completely WP:INDISCRIMINATE was the policy cited in the nomination as the rationale for deletion - it would be helpful if that concern was addressed by those arguing to keep during this discussion. Rorshacma (talk) 01:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While some of the information of the article is a list, we do allow list of things if they are notable as WP:NLIST, that being said, the article isn't currently titled as a specific list article, but as the main topic of the occurrence of "Cross-dressing in film and television". So again, removing some information if it isn't useful can be done through editing, not AfD.

The article and its title are clearly notable, so deletion isn't appropriate and WP:COPYEDITING can improve the article to add more information on the topic to it and potentially shorten some of the lists or move them to a separate standalone "List of cross-dressing in film and television" article, which as long as it satisfies the NLIST criteria can be fine and doesn't necessarily become indiscriminate. Raladic (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: a lot of reliable sources cover the topic and individual entries are verifiable. So either as a list or a prose article, this meets requirements for notability and can be retained. Whether it should be split or renamed is another story. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 10:18, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect‎ to Elon Musk#Relationships and children. Most participants favored deleting or redirecting the article (primarily the latter), on the basis that while there is news coverage about her, it is entirely driven by her relationship with her father. The redirect arguments of DanielRigal ("She was dragged into the limelight") and Speederzzz ("the only famous thing she has done is be trans ... and criticize her dad") were typical and cited by some others. Regardless of whether the exact criteria of WP:BLP1E are satisfied, there is no obligation to have an article about someone who is in news coverage for a narrow reason; if appropriate, the dispute can be covered in the article about her father.

Keep per talk page there is a wealth of SIGCOV that constitutes WP:GNG. She has become notable for criticising her father, not because she is mentioned as a passing reference. The criteria for not inherited: "Being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person" therefore doesn't apply. The closest argument here for delete it seems would be WP:BLP1E, but given her transition in 2022 gained significant coverage, this has since expired. CNC (talk) 11:57, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She has become notable for criticising him, not simply because they are related, and she clearly wasn't notable before simply by being related. BIOFAMILY is quite clear that it refers to being related is not an argument for notability: "Articles about notable people that mention their family members in passing do not, in themselves, show that a family member is notable."

I wouldn't worry about it, a decent closer should be able to interpret policy well enough to understand if it applies or not. As no one is yet arguing that Wilson is notable due to being Musk's child, per bad argument, but instead based on SIGCOV and GNG, editors are more than welcome to rebut an argument that doesn't exist.

Keep

She’s had significant coverage of her own, particularly for criticizing her father. We have articles for things far less notable than that. Snokalok (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I was initially concerned that she is only known for one event, but the available references cover a span of years. The WP:NOTINHERITED issue is spurious, since the notability claim is not based upon the mere fact of being related to a notable person. We don't delete biographies just because a person is less famous than the very famous person they're associated with. Keeping this article is fundamentally sensible for the same reason that we have articles on Sean Lennon, Moon Zappa, etc., etc. XOR'easter (talk) 19:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sean Lennon is a noted musician in his own right, and Moon Zappa was a TV actress and an MTV VJ, back when MTV actually had something to do with music.

Delete - WP:Notability (people)#Invalid criteria is very clear about this.

Redirect to Elon_Musk#Relationships_and_children as long as the only famous thing she has done is be trans (not special) and criticize her dad. The only reasons sources even write about her every so often is if her dad repeats what he has said before. If someone keeps talking about one thing that happened in the past, does it invalidate WP:BLP1E? In the end her transition and the reaction to it can be classified as one event drawn out over 2 years.

I say this knowing people argue for WP:GNG, but I keep in mind:

"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article."

(Italics added for emphasis)

This article provides no information that would be valuable independent of the section on Elon's page, this is basically an expanded explanation of the second paragraph of Elon_Musk#Relationships_and_children. I think that if a page would not be worth reading without the context of another article, it should not be a standalone article and instead be part of the main article.

Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk me) 15:37, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is the best argument for merging/redirecting yet, however there is the issue of the Musk article being 10,500 words, and therefore content should realistically be further divided or trimmed, rather than more content included into it. I also don't believe the section content in question justifies the added length and instead should be better summarised with the expanded version in this article instead per summary style of a relevant child article (in this case Wilson). Therefore I believe there is more of an argument for trimming the referenced section, with this article being a link at the top of the section for further info, rather than merging into.

Agreed, that subsection on Elon Musk is getting ungainly. QRep2020 (talk) 17:51, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree that her article and what she and he have said in the larger "conversation" reduce to the subject of her transition. It's also about her childhood, his public recounts of events that she denies, her repudiations of his morbid characterization of the process of transitioning in general, etc. QRep2020 (talk) 17:59, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of the information about her youth (except for maybe the absent father part and her school) are about her gender and sexuality and her fathers reaction to it. Maybe it is because that is how I experience my transition, but I see those aspects as integral to transitioning. All of the other information are either random personal facts scraped from the internet (her study, how she was conceived) or her criticism of her dad. So while a bit brief, I don't feel like I unfairly characterized the article's content.

Keep as there is sufficient sourcing on her to pass GNG. Someone can be mainly notable due to their relationship with someone else.

Redirect/merge to Elon Musk, although perhaps Family of Elon Musk should be converted from a redirect-to-DAB to a prose-y list. Either way, as Speederzzz says, passing GNG is not a guarantee of an article, and this is particularly true for a living person whose notability arises from their association with another living person. Given the attention she's already received, Ms. ~~Musk~~ Wilson may well earn freestanding notability in the near future. But it is neither fair to her nor beneficial to our readers to have an article about a 20-year-old that is solely about her criticism of her father. The fact that multiple BLPvios persist in the article ({{not verified}}—a template that should never appear in a BLP—right in the lede; BLPNAME violations regarding her siblings; including dubious claims by Musk without immediate rebuttal) despite all of the attention coming from this AfD, should undercut any argument that maintaining this as a separate article does no harm. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe) 23:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She's still in his family biologically, even though she no longer goes by that last name.

A list article about Elon Musk's family, serving as a sub-article split off from Musk's article, would be distinct from an article that treats the Musk family as a notable entity.

Redirect. NOPAGE and BLP1E state even notable topics may be better covered in the context of a parent article rather than as a standalone. Everything in this bio is derived from her relationship with her father, not from any recognition she has gained in her own right. She is also not an "LGBT advocate" just by virtue of "being trans and talking about it"... JoelleJay (talk) 23:28, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or at minimum redirect: Per the arguments above which I found best summarized by DanielRegal, Speederzzz, Tamzin, and JoelleJay. Wilson's sole claim to notability is her relation to her dad. FFS the article is as comprehensive as it can be considering the sources and all we can muster is 1) an early life section that has trivia and a single vaguely notable fact: she changed her surname to avoid association with her dad and 2) a section devoted to the fact her dad lied about her on a podcast and she tweeted calling him on it and his other behavior. This entire article could be 2 sentences: Musk has an estranged transgender daughter who transitioned at 16 years old and changed her surname to avoid association with him. He has publicly criticized her transition and blamed it on "neo-marxism", he appeared on a podcast in July 2024 with Jordan Peterson and made many statements she publicly criticized as untrue.

Svampesky (talk) 21:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Although the subject satisfies WP:GNG and does not fall under WP:NOTINHERITED ("Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship"), this article should still not be made for reasons of WP:BLP policy. First, Wilson arguably falls under WP:BLP1E, the "one event" in this case being repeatedly and publicly maligned by Elon in various high-profile venues since 2022. The fact of it being "repeated" may seem to imply that Wilson was obviously not involved in just "one" event, but, as Speederzzz argues above, the underlying event which is the source of all the later reactions and coverage is the mere fact of Wilson being queer and trans, which is not in itself significant. Second, Wilson is not a public figure. As the NBC interview with Wilson mentions, "Wilson has never granted an interview before and has largely stayed out of public view," but "she could no longer remain silent after [Elon's] comments Monday." In other words, Wilson felt forced to speak to the media, and otherwise has tried to keep a low profile. For this reason, there should not be an independent article about Wilson, on the basis of the presumption of privacy. Most of the important information about Wilson is already included in Elon_Musk#Relationships_and_children, so simply redirecting there should be a decent solution. Angegane (talk) 00:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Elon Musk#Relationships and children. There have been several arguments to the effect that it "doesn't matter what her 'coverage' is about" as long as there's significant coverage. This is incorrect. The guideline is very clear that "This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page." The secondary sources all discuss Vivian Jenna Wilson in the context of her relationship with Elon Musk, so it's most reasonable to cover this in the relevant section of that article. hinnk (talk) 02:36, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. This person has given one press interview and made a series of social media posts that got a news spike, and only brief/passing mentions before that. Note that redirecting does not mean Wikipedia erases all traces of Wilson: her existence and views can be mentioned in other articles, as appropriate. There is no need to make a devoted stand-alone article to a person thus far known only for speaking out against her estranged father. --Animalparty! (talk) 03:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per the points made above. I don’t accept the idea that we’re forced to have a standalone article for everyone who Elon Musk insults simply because they respond to the insults and the news media covers it. WP:N makes it clear that we have the editorial discretion to instead address it in Musk’s article or elsewhere, which in the case of a young person being in the news for her father’s comments (and her response) seems far more appropriate. A standalone BLP would, by necessity given the available sources, essentially reduce her life to this back-and-forth with Musk, which would do a disservice to both our readers and the article subject. 28bytes (talk) 04:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the Elon Musk article. There's very little to write about her, frankly. She dislikes her father and criticizes him on social media.

Keep . She had even been receiving significant coverage even before this, but she was choosing to be non-public person and thus it would have been inappropriate to have an article on her. Now that she is being quite public, it is time that there is an article, so long as it does not get too long and violate WP:DUE.
It is perfectly normal for family members of famous people, whose fame comes from their relation to or conflicts with a more famous relative, to have articles. What matters is their level of fame, not how they got it. Vivian has "a several paragraph article"'s worth of fame at present, and there's certainly more than enough content of interest to fill that. It's also worth noting that having this article allows for keeping the (already incredibly long) Elon Musk article shorter. So my vote is a strong support for keeping this article. -- Rei (talk) 12:47, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not automatically inherited (e.g. if they don't meet GNG and their only claim is being related to someone), but anyone who meets the applicable notability guidelines is notable. End of story. It doesn't matter what the coverage is about or if it only exists because she is related to Musk. Is the first lady not notable because she has only received coverage for being the president's wife? In this case, Wilson obviously meets GNG and thus is notable (full story in the NYT, CNN, People, BBC, AP, etc.). C F A 💬 14:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Meeting the baseline criteria of WP:GNG is not a guarantee of a stand alone article: Per WP:GNG (a guideline, not a policy): "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article. We are now having that in-depth discussion. Actual policy considerations include WP:BLP1E, WP:NOTEVERYTHING and WP:NOTWHOSWHO. Should Baron Trump have his own article? All of Musk's other kids? Should the children of every celebrity whose names, birthdates, and interests been mentioned in reliable sources be automatically granted their own article? "X is the baby daughter of Y. She likes the color blue and singing songs." Wow, what a fascinating encyclopedia article! Before her public spat with daddy, Vivian Wilson was just one of several children of Musk. A pseudobiography attesting to her existence and repeating her spat can be best summarized in existing articles. --Animalparty! (talk) 02:48, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have the other kids been the subject of a scheduled interview by a major publication? Has Baron? She is a High-Profile person, albeit it happened quicker than usual because Musk set the ground work by speaking ill of her. QRep2020 (talk) 13:24, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, and I'd maybe support a merge to Family of Elon Musk, but that was deleted last month. BLP1E does not apply here because in-depth coverage about her has been happening for more than two years. Here's a profile from the SCMP published in September 2022, here's one from June 2022, here's another one from June 2022, then she had the major interview last month. There is nothing wrong with an independent article in cases like this because it's what the reader wants. Readers don't know about all our strange wikilawyer arguments that happen in the background. They're just looking for a standard Wikipedia biography on the subject, and a separate page gives them that. C F A 💬 14:36, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You say it is not BLP1E, and to prove this you show us different coverage of the same event some time ago. I do not consider 2 different instances of criticizing Elon Musk as two different events. That is the only notable thing about her (and her criticism is only notable because she is the child of Elon Musk).

If a reader is really that interested in the unimportant parts of her life they can read one of those articles you link. If readers are looking for a standard Wikipedia biography, they won't find it here. This page is simply some trivial information on her birth followed by a long list of her criticisms towards her dad.

Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk me) 16:52, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, BLP1E certainly does not apply here. In order for BLP1E to apply, all three conditions listed have to be met. Regardless if you consider it one event or not, criteria #2 (The person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual does not apply here. Please see WP:LOWPROFILE for an explanation: A low-profile individual is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event. Persons who actively seek out media attention are not low-profile, regardless of whether or not they are notable. She has chosen to do a high-profile interview because she wanted to share her story/spread awareness/etc. She chose to seek the attention in the news over the past few weeks; the news didn't decide to cover it without her intervention. In fact, one of the listed criteria for being a "high-profile" individual and not meeting BLP1E is specifically this situation: High-profile: Has given one or more scheduled interviews to a notable publication, website, podcast, or television or radio program, as a "media personality" (a.k.a. "public face" or "big name"), a self-described "expert", or some other ostensibly (or would-be) notable commentator. Need not be a "household name", simply self-promotional.

Delete. As others have said, this is a classic case of WP:BLP1E, where the "event" is a protracted public dispute with her estranged father. The only significant coverage about her relates to that one event. She is not notable in her own right, any more than a hypothetical first spouse who was not notable before their spouse's election and kept a low public profile afterwards would be notable in their own right.

Keep. STP Kabaty is a crucial element of Warsaw’s metro system, servicing both M1 and M2 lines. It is the only technical support center for the metro in Warsaw and Poland, underlining its unique and essential function. The lack of current sources is a valid concern, but it can be rectified. The article can be improved with proper sourcing and should not be disqualified solely based on this temporary deficiency. Thousands of articles on smaller and less significant railway infrastructure exist on Wikipedia. Deleting one of the larger and more critical stations would be inconsistent and unjustified. The article has been part of Wikipedia for a significant period, and there is generally no consensus for deleting such longstanding entries due to sourcing issues. Instead, there are templates and processes for indicating the need for additional citations and improvements. Paradygmaty (talk) 11:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The issue isn't "sourcing issues" per se. The issue is that in order to establish wp:notability, a requirement to have a separate article, it needs GNG sources......a GNG source is an independent published source which covers the topic of the article in depth.

All significant coverage is heavily promotional and seems to come from unreliable and tabloid-like sources. I can't tell for sure that the sources are non-independent, but it is weird, for example, that five of the sources in the article mention the subject's forex trading and radio station. The draft was declined because the sources appeared to be marketing/PR, but it was moved into articlespace without addressing this concern. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The brothers have been cross-added to each other's pages by User:LuboneEditors, the creator of Arnold Namisi and indefinitely blocked (by myself) for persistent disruptive and promotional editing. For example, LuboneEditors blanked the AfD for Arnold Namisi. I think I'll just speedy both articles, rather than waste the community's time further.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and England. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:46, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Cowlibob: I suppose that WP:NACTOR is more likely to apply. Regarding its criteria: 'Such a person may be considered notable if:

1) The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or

2) The person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment.'

I think 1) is more likely to apply. I can see from his page that he has appeared in almost two dozen films and television shows which are sufficiently notable to have their own article. Do you accept that they are notable? If so, is your case simply that his roles are not significant? How do you believe that a significant role is defined for the purposes of notability in WP:NACTOR? Is there a guideline or 'case law' supporting this? Thanks.

Jontel (talk) 01:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak KEEP Gazi's article seemingly meets the criteria of WP:NACTOR i.e. 'Such a person may be considered notable if the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows...' in that he has appeared in multiple (around two dozen) productions which have their own articles (and so are presumably notable) and his generally mid ranking in credited roles are presumably sufficiently significant. The case for keeping the article is strengthened by a career duration at this level of almost two decades WP:SUSTAINED. However, without searching through the reviews of his productions, there appears to be little independent reliable secondary coverage of him, which would be required to pass WP:BASIC. The key guiding text appears to be: 'People are likely to be notable if they meet (WP:NACTOR)...(However)...meeting (WP:NACTOR) does not guarantee that a subject should be included.' i.e. WP:NACTOR alone is not sufficient for notability. Given his roles in so many notable productions, is there a case for giving editors time to find the coverage necessary to meet WP:BASIC, as suggested in WP:ATD, by leaving it for a period?

Delete with regret after wading through a bunch of machine-translated sites. I couldn't find any RS in English so I tried searching "Bătălia de la Popricani" for Romanian results as well. The ones that looked best were: [35] (not exactly SIGCOV though); [36] (Vice has no consensus in terms of reliability, and I'm not seeing any sources in the article that we could follow for more info). There might be something in [37] but I think someone fluent in Romanian would be needed to translate. And even assuming it's reliable and there's at least a few pages on the battle, that's two sources at best if we also accept the Vice article. There simply doesn't seem to be enough.

Edgardo Defortuna

Edgardo Defortuna

There are two problems with this biographical article about a Florida businessman. The first is that violates neutral point of view. The second is that it does not satisfy general notability.

The article reads as if it was written by the subject's real estate company, because it may have been written by the subject's company. The last two paragraphs, Philanthropy and Civic Involvement, and Honors and Awards, have no references. They were written to describe the subject as favorably as possible. The section on Family Matters and the Next Generation is also a puff piece, and is mostly about his wife rather than about him.

The references are not independent coverage, and mostly read like press releases. References 3 and 4 appear to be variations of the same press release.

Reference Number	Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	www.islandernews.com	An interview in a Key Biscayne newspaper	No	Yes	Yes	No
2	www.forbes.com	An article by a Forbes 'contributor'. These are considered unreliable.	Maybe	Yes	No	?
3	therealdeal.com	A profile that reads like a press release from the subject	No	Yes	Maybe	?
4	commercialobserver.com	Another profile that reads like a variation of the same press release	No	Yes	Maybe	?
5	www.bizjournals.com	An article for paid subscribers only.	Assumed to be No.	Yes	Probably not.	?
6	mlmiamimag.com	Another interview that appears to have been provided by the subject.	No	Yes	Probably	?
7	therealdeal.com	Another press release	No	Yes	Probably	?
8	sfbwmag.com	Another press release	No	Yes	Probably	?
9	www.bizjournals.com	A press release on acquisition by Christie's	No	Yes	Yes	?
10	therealdeal.com	Another press release	No	Yes	Probably	?
11	sfbwmag.com	An interview with the subject's wife	No	Not about the subject	Probably	?
12	hauteliving.com	Another interview with the subject's wife	No	Not about the subject	Probably	?
13	www.culturedmag.com	An interview by the subject's wife about a real estate project	No	Not about the subject	Yes	?

This is not the first article about this businessman. A prior article in 2017 was deleted as G5 and G11. An article on 6 June 2024 was deleted as G11. A draft was created on 19 June, and this article was created on 25 July, by the same editor, and they are similar. This article and the draft may be toned-down versions of the spam piece; I have not seen the spam piece and do not want to see it. The Heymann criterion is to find three independent reliable secondary sources within seven days. Otherwise, the originator will be able to find real sources for the draft and submit it for review.

Thank you, Robert. This was super helpful. The article was edited to improve the neutral point of view and include reliable sources. I'd like to clarify that The Real Deal South Florida article on Edgardo Defortuna was an editorial feature and not a press release, but open to your feedback on how to rework. I also included more references in the Philanthropy and Civic Involvement, and Honors and Awards. I also removed the lines about his wife that were not relevant to Edgardo's article as a whole.

Non-notable small restaurant chain, fails WP:SIGCOV and generally WP:NCORP.

Keep per GNG. Sorry, but this feels retaliatory to me, as I recently complained about a Good article review completed by the nominator. With sources like this, this, and this, I do not agree with the nominator's rationale, and if nominator "understand[s] more could be added" then I would ask for an expansion tag instead of jumping to AfD. I agree that the article could be expanded, but we don't just delete underdeveloped pages. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link 1: Author "covers the food scene in the neighborhoods around Seattle." Local coverage of Seattle restaurant for Seattle audience. Weak at establishing notability.
Link 2: Contibutor to very local magazine. Not WP:RS, fails WP:AUD. With lines like "Beck knows it takes the right people to create a warm atmosphere and a future for the business", I doubt it passes WP:INDEPENDENT.
Link 3: Author self-identifies as marketer, unclear whether this piece was paid for. Fails WP:INDEPENDENT.

I do feel a lot of the subjects of articles you are writing about are not notable, which multiple editors ([1], [2]) have raised independently. I also think you do great work on Wikipedia, in particular, I think your writing style is very lucid. I am a vindictive person, but this is not an example of that.

I was referring to integrating the other "reviews" that are already in the article into the reception part, not that other sources are out there. Rollinginhisgrave (talk) 15:17, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Grabup, Thank you for your comment.
Most politicians who contest elections or are at least active in politics meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines WP:GNG. Therefore, even if they fail to meet the specific criteria outlined in WP:NPOL they should still be considered for having Wikipedia articles.? What is your opinion on this? Youknow? (talk) 16:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Youknowwhoistheman: Yes, NPOL is an additional criteria, and the General Notability Guideline (GNG) is the main or core guideline to establish notability. If a person or a subject meets any of additional criteria or GNG, then they will be considered notable. For example, let’s assume this politician does not meet GNG or NPOL, but he wrote some books that received reviews from multiple independent reliable sources. Then he will meet WP:AUTHOR, so the person will be treated as notable even if he fails GNG or NPOL. Hope this clears things up. GrabUp - Talk 16:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Youknowwhoistheman: Hey do you agree that the person meets GNG? GrabUp - Talk 07:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say but your argument is not logical. According to this reasoning, Wikipedia should abolish its criteria for politicians (WP:NPOL). If everyone is to be judged by the same Wikipedia's general criteria (WP:GNG), then what is the need for having specific criteria? Because every local leader also passes the general criteria. Even a person who loses an election meets the general criteria in some way or another. So, should all of them also have a standalone Wikipedia article? Youknow? (talk) 11:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Youknowwhoistheman: No, your thinking is wrong. During the general election in India, I saw nearly 50 articles about politicians that were deleted via AfD. Not every politician meets GNG, and not every politician meets NPOL. These criteria are necessary. Here are some examples of past AfDs.

Delete there are many people who have numerous media sources writing about them but this doesn't makes them notable. The subject in this case seems to be affiliated to biggest political party of India and hence we can see good number of sources about them. However, most of them appears to be paid articles. I recall how one of my article Vikas Shakya was deleted despite having many sources. The reason sought was paid editorials being used as sources. Here, in this case, it is possible that we are witnessing same case. The person is clearly not fulfilling WP:NPOL as he has not been elected to even local level body and I doubt the sources used are free from bias.-Admantine123 (talk) 13:27, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Çomment WP:NPOL is *not* a guideline that can be failed, that is, if a subject does not satisfy the criteria it does not mean they are not notable for Wikipedia. NPOL is an inclusive measure, not exclusionary. NPOL sits separately from the GNG because it provides "presumed notability" - the idea being that a person elected to office is generally likely to have SIGCOV in reliable sources. FWIW, no comments to date have indicated why sourcing presently in the article does not satisfy the GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:27, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Meets WP:BASIC/GNG. Articles do not have to meet applicable subject-specific notability guidelines to be considered notable. GNG is the main guideline — generally, if any topic meets GNG, it is notable enough to have an article. SNGs were created to be able to bypass this requirement for some topics (e.g. academics and politicians) that editors have deemed should have encyclopedic articles regardless of coverage.

But if I might offer my own opinion, I don't recommend a Merge with Race and intelligence as that article includes no mention of Judaism and, as I stated below, one can not consider one branch of Judaism, "Ashkenazi Jewish", to be considered a "race".

~~I vote Merge into IQ and race~~

Also, this article reads like multiple POV-forks in each section. Portions of it seem racist to imply that Jewish people are significantly smarter than anybody else, while others talk about the backlash to a single study. The genetics portion implying intelligence is also racist.

I think I would change my vote if there was more information about this put in besides that one study. Some thoughts:

Various sociologists in the 80s/90s suggested that the unique background/talmudic studies of some Jewish peoples makes them effective scholars. There were some sociologists who suggested that, as well as Malcolm Gladwell. Not sure exactly if thats true, there is likely a fair bit of back and forth on that as well as a possibly controversial opinion too.
It could be possible to include information about Model Minority myth in this article.
Agree large portions of article are WP:SYNTH including the humblebrag about the representation of Jewish people in various roles.

Nishidani is right. We need to stop WP:TNT like the past few AfDs, and address the issue head on that we should still avoid WP:PROFRINGE while still recognizing this is clearly notable, even if the sourcing is biased.

IDK if i wanna vote delete or keep at this point. Maybe this article still deserves to be WP:TNT, but we should try to get to an actual consensus that leads to a real article.

Maybe this should just be called Jewish Intelligence Theory or Jewish Intelligence Stereotype. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 19:00, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Threw some more sourcing at it. Honestly, still think it should be merged into another appropriate article tho. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 01:06, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's better, but I don't think that's enough. Citing Lynn as though his garbage studies mean anything, even with qualifications, is still a WP:PROFRINGE issue. As I said back in 2020, if the article only exists to explain why a debunked study is not even wrong, then is should be rewritten to serve that goal. Grayfell (talk) 01:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, agreed.

Sidenote, why specifically ashkenazi jewish intelligence, instead of broader jewish intelligence? This article's subject is so strange to me. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 02:16, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(a) Sephardim are not, apparently, reported to score as high; (b) seems sensible insofar as "Jewish intelligence" probably makes people think of the Mosad instead, IDK. Biohistorian15 (talk) 07:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ~~or merge~~. Adding enough context to satisfy the requirements of WP:FRINGE would make the article a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Race and intelligence, but with a shallower pool of sources. The few bits that are specific to Ashkenazi people or Jewish people – Cochran's ideas, Talmud study, the role perceptions of intelligence might play in overall views toward Jewish people – are too scattered to make "Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence" a coherent topic for an encyclopedia article. Jruderman (talk) 04:51, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Based on discussions below, I'm not seeing much content here worth summarizing into other articles, nor compelling reasons to include any mention of Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence in most of the related articles. Maybe it's worth a mention in History of the race and intelligence controversy, but even then it would be better to draw from Henry Harpending's section or Bret Stephens's section rather than from this article. As a result, I am shifting my stance to simply "delete". Jruderman (talk) 08:06, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is a vast body of literature that discusses the special role of jewry as a (proto-)object of racism; there also is a large body of research (Cochrane, Glad...) concerning purported (self-)selection trends in historical Jewish populations; there is also a vast body of literature concerning their psychometrics. Biohistorian15 (talk) 07:01, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, massive removals of text on the same day this AFD was opened[40] suggest either possible tag teaming or, at least, a problematic attitude on the part of Bluethricecreamman and Grayfell.

Similar content has been discussed numerous times on that article's talk page and I don't believe that there has ever been consensus for inclusion. Also note that the Race and intelligence article is under a special sourcing restriction imposed by ArbCom, so including non-academic sources, even in the interest of WP:FRIND, would be disallowed. If I'm not mistaken, all the fringe-independent sources in the article currently up for deletion here are non-academic.

Relisting comment: Relisting this discussion. If you look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence (2nd nomination), you'll see that this article has been nominated no less than 8 times under different page titles for deletion consideration and was always Kept until this last AFD. With such a track record of being Kept, I want there to be a very clear consensus on what should happen this time so that we are not back here for a 9th or 10th AFD discussion. It would help if participants reviewed past AFD discussions. I also question whether a Merge to Race and Intelligence is appropriate if this idea has been rejected on that article Talk page and, my own question, whether it is appropriate to consider one branch of Judaism to be a "race".

Comment its hard to tell what the merits of the previous arguments were, as the deleted page from the past few nominations is unseen. Is there anyway to show more page history or something?

It also seems much of the commentary as the years pass on has been on the debunking of many of these studies from pop-culture tidbits of "wow science can explain race difference in a post-racial society" to "wow, can't believe we tried to believe we were post racial when we were publishing WP:FRINGE articles about how genetics prove the stereotypes about different racial groups" Bluethricecreamman (talk) 21:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

tally results from previous AfDs.

1) [41] no consensus, basically equal deletes and keeps

2) [42] keep, the article is poorly written but has significant notability

3) [43] speedy close, the nominator gave no reason, so closer is probably right

4) [44] speedy close, nominator gave reason, closer just angry that nominator tries again?

5) Cannot find this? the numbering system gets weird, and an admin attempted to delete and salt this page to supposedly prevent further nominations? [[45]]

6) [46] Speedy keep, closed after 2 days? also weird, this is somehow both 6th nom of Ashkenazi intelligence and 1st nom of Ashkenazi Jewish Intelligence. notably, user who closed is blocked for 3 months from WP:ARBIPA topics due to editwarring, so I think the speedy keep might have been biased.

7) [[47]] Delete, tons of sock puppet activity to Keep.

all this means to say is this article obviously brings up significant tensions, and the AfDs for this page haven't always followed what seems like a clear protocol. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 22:11, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, perhaps it would've been more definitive to use a clean slate for this instead of what I did for this nomination, but our time on Earth is limited, and rehashing this discussion didn't seem worthwhile. If anyone is coming here who doesn't know the history of this general topic on Wikipedia, maybe start with Talk:Race and intelligence/FAQ. The gist is that Wikipedia holds these articles to a high standard for a variety of reasons, based many years of history and tedious discussion. Sources need to be high-quality, and context needs to be provided, and right now this article fails to do that. Grayfell (talk) 00:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for digging. Here's what I see in the six previous discussions:

Two discussions were from 2007. Many comments focused on notability. I don't know how strong Wikipedia's RS and NPOV rules were back then. Their combined interpretation at WP:FRINGE was just reaching guideline-level consensus at the time.
The next three don't really count: they were speedy'd because the nominators didn't do their job of connecting their rationales to Wikipedia policies.
The last, in 2020, was closed as TNT only. It did not come to a conclusion about whether another article at the title could be acceptable.

There are many good comments in the previous discussions, but their closing results have limited bearing on the delete reasons we are discussing today. Jruderman (talk) 01:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Q: Would it help to invite more editors to this discussion? I believe it would be considered nonpartisan to post at the Fringe Theories noticeboard, on Talk:Race and intelligence because we're continuing discussions from there, or on talk pages of not-yet-explicitly-ruled-out smerge targets: Gregory Cochran, Ashkenazi Jews, History of the race and intelligence controversy. Or on the talk pages of participants in the previous AfDs (perhaps just those who are extended-confirmed and still active). Jruderman (talk) 01:39, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can if you want.

I would strongly oppose merging to Cochran's article for multiple reasons, so if anyone wants to actually propose that we can discuss in more detail. Any other article would still have to summarize reliable, independent sources. Right now the article is mostly journalistic opinions, and some of these are fringe sources, as well. This seems undue for a topic as broad as Ashkenazi Jews. With better sources it would be easier to evaluate where to merge. With any merge, the goal isn't "how do we preserve this content" it's "how do we proportionately and neutrally summarize this topic?" Grayfell (talk) 02:42, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The existing section at Gregory Cochran could use some contextualization or rebuttal, but looking at Ashkenazi Jewish intelligence again, I don't see anything worth moving to the Cochran article. Jruderman (talk) 03:41, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I've sent info about the discussion to WP:FT/N

Of note, there has been no noticeable improvement to the article in the past two weeks, and much of it remains citations of fringe sources, and debunks/reactions of the fringe sourcing, which probably is still too much WP:PROFRINGE to be worth keeping. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 03:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fringe content cobbled together from inappropriate sources. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if only because the topic has an extensive literature, barely scratched by the article itself. I see a lot of nervousness in these repeated attempts to erase a stub because it touches on a topic that is variously perceived as racist, as a put-down of an outgroup and a proud vaunting of the compared ingroup (Gregory Cochran, Jason Hardy, and Henry Harpending's paper became, in Steven Pinker's words, 'a target of harsh denunciation and morbid fascination.'), as too politically incorrect even to mention. The fact remains that:

The discussion is out there, and it has been held in the press, in synagogues, and before a sold-out audience at the Center for Jewish History in New York City’(Pinker 2005) Nadia Abu El-Haj, The Genealogical Science:The Search for Jewish Origins and the Politics of Epistemology, University of Chicago Press 2012 ISBN 978-0-226-20140-5 p.178

This is a 19th century myth, recycled because developments in genetics, and a number of provisory results, led to attempts to repackage it on empirical grounds, transforming a negative stereotype into a positive typecasting. So in terms of intellectual history it merits coverage; it terms of widespread diffusion it deserves a comprehensive, astringently neutral analysis per sources like Sander Gilman, our preeminent expert in this kind of argument (Sander L. Gilman, Smart Jews: The Construction of the Image of Jewish Superior Intelligence, University of Nebraska Press 1997 ISBN 978-0-803-27069-5)

So symptomatic fits of nervous nellydom are quite out of place, certainly in a deletion argument. A topic that has a large range of secondary sources, that has stirred scientific and public controversy; that is widely misinterpreted; marked by conceptual clumsiness by its promotors and anxieties by its critics, obviously requires an encyclopedic entry. What we have is pathetic (too much edit-warring, not very informed or competent, but there is a real opportunity here to make a very good article based on high quality sources. In such cases, deletion is sheer laziness, an invitation to relax in shiftless torpor rather than creatively rise to a challenge when the alternative is simply hard, focused work reconstructing it in terms of contemporary scholarly commentary.Nishidani (talk) 05:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think a good article about this topic maybe could be written, but the problem is that the current version is so fundamentally bad that it would require essentially rewriting from scratch, and the article would be subject to endless POV pushing that would ultimately degrade it to an unacceptable quality. I am also not finding any good sources on this topic other than the Gilman book. I think a section should probably be added to Stereotypes of Jews, which if warranted could be expanded into a full article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 08:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the version that existed before it was hacked to pieces. What we are looking at is the article after it was bombed by excisions. Gilman's is not the only book. The whole 2005 controversy eventually generated a thesis about modernity in Norman Lebrecht, Genius & Anxiety: How Jews Changed the World, 1847-1947, Scribner 2019 ISBN 978-1-982-13422-8. The problem is that few wikipedians statistically appear to edit articles in extenso, but nearly every wikipedian is interested in talk page comments.Nishidani (talk) 09:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The real problem is that Wikipedia editors have decided many of the available sources about Ashkenazi intelligence fail the requirements of WP:RS policy. That's why they keep being removed. Some examples from the time of the previous AFD are the edit summaries here and here. This way of understanding RS policy is one of the aspects of the topic that's been receiving media attention, most recently on Richard Dawkins' Twitter. And it's what will have to be addressed before there can be a well-sourced article about this topic. 2A02:FE1:7191:F500:1D68:AEEA:EBA5:D751 (talk) 11:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

that second source is apparently neoconservative biased as per the wikipedia entry. richard dawkins twitter is also not relevant for establishing reliability Bluethricecreamman (talk) 16:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the article had previously been deleted before, and ive been curious about the sourcing of much of the previous version of the article Bluethricecreamman (talk) 16:11, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are two options. A stub or poorly worked article can be removed/erased/expunged. When you do that, the topic itself as an encyclopedic entry disappears. No passing eyes will be tyempted to improve what isn't there. Or, one can look at the RS, ascertain if the topic is noteworthy (it is) and improve it. I've done this several times at AfD, and, in several hours, once the article is placed on a strong footing, the AfD is dropped. So the real issue is, is the topic noteworthy? (See below. It is). If so, then why make the article disappear rather than roll up one's sleeves and imprtove it. Just consistently removing stuff, and not replacing it with better sourcing, is bad practice.Nishidani (talk) 16:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following don't fail RS and deal with the issue, and reminding editors that an abundant literature on the topic exists will not change this negative vote, and therefore I, for one, anm not going to waste time over several hours to show how the article can be rapidly rewritten into a near GA articled (because it will be erased). I don't know how many were used in the past and erased, but anyone, anyone can see at a glance that the topic is very well documented in RS.

Apparently in deletion discussions, evidence (that this quick summary of easily googled sources) doesn't matter.Nishidani (talk) 13:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah, going off what you suggested, the last AfD was advocating for WP:TNT. The deletionists did not advocate that the topic wasn’t notable.

I still have some questions about some of the sourcing or presenting this uncritically, but its def notable.

I will say, much of the secondary sourcing here is a part of that discredited 2005 study. I would much rather have an article discussing this topic as to a stereotype for a model minority than trying to do pseudoscience to promote racial science. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 18:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would like more sourcing about the ethics of this science, the stereotypes effects, etc.

As we have a week’s time, I might try my hand at adding more to this article again. ty nishidani! Bluethricecreamman (talk) 18:51, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated. It's true that google throws up a lot around the 2005 article, but, if the idea illustrated in one version by an article that fails to convince its peer community gets traction, we should cover it. If only in order to allow readers quick access to what the best scholarship says about it. I think on of wikipedia's function is to elbow out meme replication, i.e.,by eluciding per secondary sources what some controversial idea states, and its reception history. This, per several scholars, goes deeper than that 2005 study however, and Gilman is a superb source on its historical context - things like the envy, resentment and rancour felt by many at what was, in large effect, the implementation of a Protestant work ethic in a rising non-Christian minority of the population.Nishidani (talk) 19:57, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mind you, I remain completely open-minded about this issue. I wouldn't exclude a priori that there are populations which, statistically, appear to display a significant, on average, higher IQ (and that is a relative definition of intelligence: I recall reading in 1965 a study that suggested poets did poorly in them) than other contiguous groups. Some communities have a markedly higher longevity than their neighbours. In both cases, it does not mean that, Ashkenazi are all more intelligent by genetic endowment, or that Sardinians are all stocked with better longevity genes. In any such population dumb schmucks or those who die prematurely before the national average will abound. I don't believe one should feel intimidated or uneasy about any kind of high order research that appears to upset the applecart of our common democratic beliefs in equality, which is a legal ideal, not a biological reality.Nishidani (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nishindani, I'm just checking back in on this discussion, and I see that you've provided some excellent sources. I would object to calling e.g. Charles Murray or Nicholas Wade reliable secondary sources on this topic, and from a quick glance some of the sources you list don't appear to discuss the topic directly, e.g. Norman Lebrecht's Genius & Anxiety, despite what one might surmise from the title. But other sources like Nadia Abu El Haj and Sander Gilman look good. Whether this should redound to a "Keep" or a redirect to Stereotypes of Jews as Hemiauchenia suggests, I'm not yet sure. I'll look into the sources some more before deciding whether and how to revise my !vote, but in any case I thank you. Generalrelative (talk) 21:15, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I concur that that Charles Murray and Nicholas Wade are not RS on the topic of intelligence. I don't think the "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence" is particularly reliable either, given the controversial associations of its authors. For a contentious topic like this we would really want to look to academic sources rather than to newspapers which tend to be less reliable. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:19, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Not only is "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence" primary, it's unambiguously WP:FRINGE per the established consensus on race and intelligence. We can still mention it in article space of course, but only to the degree that it's discussed in reliable WP:FRIND / WP:SECONDARY sources. Generalrelative (talk) 01:08, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I edit a number of pages I think explain nutter hypotheses, e.g.Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship, a few of us reedited that after doing the FA Shakespeare Authorship Question which outlines the near total academic orthodoxy, which was less familiar to readers than the bizarre literature that pullulated concerning alternative candidates.

My principle is, since these ideas, be they nutter, lunatic fringe, minor, or theories of some passing scientific curiosity since fallen into desuetude, for our readers it is important to provide comprehensive coverage, if only to ensure that global readers whgo google are not sucked into the crap universe. This is one of wiki's fundamental functions, and it should do it neutrally, without any intimidation, anxiety, reserve, or personal intrusions of one's private, or even well-founded (a disciplinary consensus) judgments on where the 'approximate truth' might lie. I don't think much of Nicholas Wade, for example, but his negative review of the Khazar hypothesis got major support from most editors, and I didn't object - he was part of the discourse at that time, even though his grasp of molecular biology, despite his degree, was mediocre. He, like Murray, has a wikibio, and has a certain prominence in public discussions of these matters, so applying highbar RS, something rarely done, that excludes anyone but the foremost experts in a particular subject, is dangerous, because we miss coverage that has influence on public perceptions. This is not a 'science' article where only cutting edge experts get a say. It is an article that covers the claims to the possible existence of ethnic differentials in intelligence made by people who have qualifications in the area, though their views are not mainstream, but also of the way this controversy was taken up by the broad mainstream outlets (ergo impacting public memory and opinions). That is why such figures are acceptable, just as in scholarly terms, incompetents like William Farina and Mark Anderson were used as sources on the Oxford Shakespeare page, also because they have or had a public profile. This is not just about what science says of the scientific status of a dubious theory, but about how it arose, who promote(s)d it, what its (a) scientific reception and (b) public impact was/has been. The truth/science plays very little part of public discourse which battens on memes and dumbdowned ideas. So it is of fundamental importance that we address not only the science of the world, but the vast extent of the confusions in the public sphere which occlude our clear perception of what the cusp of learning might say. Nishidani (talk) 13:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no objection to this at all, so long as we observe the WP:FRINGE guideline. In the case of Wade for instance, it will be important to remember that e.g.:

Points that are not discussed in independent sources should not be given any space in articles. Independent sources are also necessary to determine the relationship of a fringe theory to mainstream scholarly discourse. Fringe sources can be used to support text that describes fringe theories provided that such sources have been noticed and given proper context with third-party, independent sources.

Generalrelative (talk) 15:16, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let's clear up some confusion here.

(a) the article deals with some results, reliably published in the relevant scientific journals, that suggested on average Ashkenazi had a higher IQ than comparable groups in their societies.
(b) Some spun this as proof of a racial difference
(c) Some said the observed differences could be explained by specific cultural factors, etc.

Are editors here contending that the scientific data in (a) are incorrect, or the result of skewed methods or that the data constitute fringe facts, whatever they are, that (b) can be shown to exist ergo the topic (a,b,c) should be ignored as fringe or (c) we can ignore (b) because there is an alternative explanation, culture, that accounts for the apparently ascertained statistical results of a number of surveys in (a). My impression is that almost all comments here are focused on (b) and ignoring the status (in the academic literature) of (a) and (c). If so, the article will be deleted, and we shall never have a wiki article on (a) and (b) and (c), simply because of a failure to distinguish the elements in a complex narrative.Nishidani (talk) 15:33, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point. And honestly, thanks for your patience in laying it out. I have to get back to work but will strike my !vote for now. I need to look into the literature quite a bit more before I can fully engage with you on the substance of the matter. Generalrelative (talk) 15:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That it a very empirical approach to these problematical articles, and deeply appreciated (whatever your eventual vote may be). Nishidani (talk) 16:08, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, especially on something as politically charged and with such a historical pseudoscientific record as race and intelligence.

A fairly ridiculous amount of “scientific literature” from the 1800s and early 1900s has promoted eugenics, and equally presenting discredited theories and current scientific consensus goes against the principles of WP:DUE. If public discourse goes off a cliff, and sourcing starts to do Alternate facts, we should be able to debate and reason on here which sourcing is WP:rsp and which are based on bunk. We should not freely present bunk without appropriate criticism. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 15:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your concern is entirely reasonable, but this is precisely why we have the WP:FRINGE guideline. So long as we stick to it, we will avoid the pitfalls you describe. Generalrelative (talk) 15:46, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should remain skeptical of science being used to advocate for stereotypes, for good reason as well. like generalRelative states, there are charlatans in this field who have polluted a lot with poorly done science to advocate for stereotypes, and extraordinary claims should require extraordinary proof before we present too much of it without appropriate criticism. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 22:14, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bluethricecreamman, please absolutely stop these kinds of general appeals from now on; WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS is very clear about this.

Delete per WP:V and WP:PROFRINGE. The occurrence of several earlier deletion discussions should encourage advocates of "keep" to work hard to get the article in good shape -- unless the article is hopeless. The fact that this hasn't been done means that it's time to delete it. NightHeron (talk) 09:01, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Any experienced wikipedian can predict just from the title that the article is probably in a parlous state. But the topic is notable, so it deserves an article and we should persevere. Zero^talk 08:31, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but requires an outrageous amount of work. It’s a notable and rather interesting historical topic which should have it’s own article, but for that to be viable, someone would have to properly work through the academic sources. FortunateSons (talk) 08:49, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Race and intelligence. There's no need to keep it out unless / until that article gets too long, and if / when that happens, we can split it again.

There is probably an interesting article that could be written about the topic of "Jewish intelligence" as a stereotype and its history going back to the 19th century, based on the works of Sander Gilman, but the current article is so, so bad that I really can't be compelled to vote keep. I would be okay with Draftifying the article to completely rework it to be based on the work of Gilman. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:23, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete/Selectively merge with Stereotypes of Jews. My nomination and this !vote are not based on notability in broad terms, this involves specific issues with this topic and its current and potential sources. This nomination was based on WP:TNT and WP:FRINGE issues, and the above discussion has not resolved those issues in my opinion. Any merge with Race and intelligence should first have consensus at that article's talk page, and it's going to require a lot of work before that happens. We would have to figure out what, exactly, we're merging, in other words. A draft would potentially help with that.

There are many potential sources for this topic. I've looked at plenty of those sources, including some of the new ones proposed above. Some of them are reliable in some contexts, and some are not reliable at all. The Cochran etc. source is about race, genetics, and IQ. Cultural factors are discussed in simplistic terms as background for theories on Jewish genetic drift. Cochran etc. categorized this form of intelligence as a genetic trait specific to a subgroup of a Jews, who are treated by the authors as biologically separate from other populations -that's the point. There is a LOT to unpack here, but again, all of this has already been unpacked on Wikipedia talk pages more times than anyone can count. To quote Sander Gilman: "Take Home Message: Don't confuse racial categories with scientific ones. Don't assume that making 'positive' comments about a group is necessarily a good thing."(PMID 22013349) If the article is going to be about Cochran etc. than it should be rewritten from scratch to be about this paper, including context (such as Henry Harpending#Racial views). If this topic isn't just about Cochran etc., than it's about "Jewish smartness". That reduces this to either trivia or to a stereotype, and both of those are a better explained and contextualized elsewhere. Grayfell (talk) 03:09, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TNT again and or Merge with Stereotypes of Jews. Maybe draftify it and let a motivated editor take their best shot. Think it probably is WP:N, especially with the amount of pop science buzz race and intelligence gets, but Grayfell is also right that current version is from Cochran and other indelibly flawed sources. This is a hornets nest of a topic and I'm happy to editwar on other things in the meantime haha, but there is a significant amount of work to get this into shape Bluethricecreamman (talk) 04:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Gave it another shot, but this is not my expertise area. I'm gonna notify folks from Race and intelligence to take a look if they want too. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 05:18, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your effort! By now it seems clear that we should keep and continue to improve; TNT does not apply here. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 07:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article still needs a lot of work, but it's no longer the embarrassment to Wikipedia that it was when the AFD had recently been opened. I'm optimistic that Nishidani will eventually improve it further, and the topic is clearly notable, so there no longer is any reason to delete it.
