Zhengzhou No.47 Middle School

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

Cannot find anything notable online about the school (which has 7000 students and 500 staff). Most online articles repeat the existing Wikipedia wording which reads like an advertisement. The only exception I can find is Deloitte - who say the school offers classes to international students (https://www2.deloitte.com/content/dam/Deloitte/at/Documents/Tax/Chinese%20Services%20Group/kr_cbc_investment_henan-zhengzhou_en_201612.pdf) Newhaven lad (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools, which says:
All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)

Keep per the sources found by User:Cunard. I'm puzzled by User:Bearian's comment – we have articles about many other secondary schools, and the fact that this is a secondary school doesn't seem like a reason for deleting the article. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 07:30, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Probably delete - I accept that the notability of schools is still a contested area and we still need clarity on how we are making AfD decisions. However following this RfC the consensus is that secondary schools need to show they meet the same notability standards as other organisations. Simply WP:ROUTINE coverage and regurgitated press releases are not enough. Cunard has supplied a blizzard of such sources in their usual way (I'm not criticising, having sources to discuss at AfD is better than no sources) but in my opinion these are simply statements that all schools everywhere aim to get in local newspaper coverage. I appreciate it is an example of systematic bias, but unless we see significant and independent coverage in a reliable source (which as far as I'm concerned essentially means pages in a book or a long press article) I'm !voting delete. JMWt (talk) 09:33, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Looking at those sources, they are all primary, aren't they? Do we have any secondary sourcing? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:56, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources says that primary sources are "original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved". I do not consider these newspaper articles to be "close to an event" or "written by people who are directly involved". They are secondary sources that rely on primary sources in discussing the school's history and background. Cunard (talk) 01:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: JMWt's statement that "secondary schools need to show they meet the same notability standards as other organisations" is an inaccurate reading of the guideline. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Schools says:
All universities, colleges and schools, including high schools, middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must either satisfy the notability guidelines for organizations, the general notability guideline, or both. For-profit educational organizations and institutions are considered commercial organizations and must satisfy those criteria. (See also WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES)
The guideline says that for non-profit schools like Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School, passing Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline is sufficient. There is no need for the school to also pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria.
JMWt's statement that schools have to receive "pages in a book or a long press article" is a much higher bar than what the guideline requires and is contradicted by Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which defines significant coverage like this:
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
Bearian wrote, "One of thousands of similar schools. Fails GNG." This comment fails to explain why the school "fails GNG". That this school is like "one of thousands of similar schools" is not a policy-based reason for deletion. And calling this school run-of-the-mill is false because the school was designated an exemplar senior high school [zh] in July 2003. From this book published by Springer Nature (which is licensed under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/):
Thus, the Chinese government had to develop a project of Key High School that classified a part of schools as key schools while others as ordinary schools in order to concentrate limited resources on quality assurance in key schools. In 1953, 194 high schools of the country were named as Key High Schools. 194 schools were a very small portion (4.4%) of the large number of high schools in China (Li, 2003, p. 276). According to related policy, the Key High Schools were given priority in funding, human resource, school facilities, and selection of students. By extraordinary input, the Key High Schools had constantly improved the quality of their teaching and learning and prepared a number of excellent graduates for the country since then (Feng, 2007). Historically, the project of Key High School made a great contribution to prepare quality graduates of senior high schools for China's universities and colleges as well as for the country's industry and agriculture by concentrating limited resources during 1950s and 1960s. However, with the increasing demand for senior high school education in the early 1990s, the issue of expanding the scale of senior high school education was put on the agenda of Chinese government. The State Council called on building up 1000 high quality senior high schools throughout the country in its RHD in 1994, Opinions of State Council on carrying out "Compendium for China's educational reform and development (State Council, 1994). In this RHD, the old name Key High School was replaced by a new name Exemplar Senior High School (hereafter called "ESHS").
Cunard (talk) 01:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Out of the 9 sources put up by Cunard above, 5 are from Dahe Daily, which amounts to a single source i.e. same publisher. Of the others, source 1 is brief but OK. Source 3 is about a teacher; the school is only mentioned. Sources 4 & 5 look like reports on press releases put out by the school — doubtful independence and no editorial analysis or commentary. Basically, there's coverage of the school in Dahe Daily and source 1, but this doesn't satisfy the multiple, independent requirement of GNG; multiple meaning 3 or more independent reliable sources. Rupples (talk) 02:58, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline says, "There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected."
  "multiple meaning 3 or more independent reliable sources" is inaccurate. wikt:multiple says: "More than one". Merriam-Webster says, "consisting of, including, or involving more than one". Cambridge Dictionary says, "having more than one and usually several of something".
  I consider sources 4 and 5 to be sufficiently independent to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which says:
  "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.
  The sources are bylined and are not "works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it". Source 4 contains the reporter's observations of a school lecture, while source 5 contains the journalist's reporting on the new East Campus expansion. Editors could try to make the argument that sources 4 and 5 do not meet the "intellectual independence" requirement of Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Independent sources, but Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline has no such requirement. As a non-profit school, Zhengzhou No. 47 Middle School needs to meet only Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.
  Cunard (talk) 04:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  
  I acknowledge your explanation over how you see the guidelines, but it is but one interpretation, albeit a valid one. "Multiple" could mean just two sources and could amount to satisfying significant coverage. I might agree with this if source 1 offered more indepth coverage than half a dozen short sentences on the school. I assess the sources to decide what content can be employed in writing an encyclopedic article and evaluate whether there's enough such material. I'm not seeing sufficient depth in the sources, so to my thinking the GNG is not satisfied. The only reason I've held back from !voting delete is because of uncertainty over whether the designation "exemplar high school" makes the school notable, when compared with the 15,000 or so other senior high schools in China.

Comment on additional 3 sources provided by Cunard. The first is helpful as it shows international links which may raise the school above 'run of the mill' criticism. The tennis one doesn't help with notability — it's the sort of 'research' I've seen with Indonesian schools on Google Scholar — as the report itself concludes "the effect on health is obvious". The third is useful, but again brief, if that's all there is. GNG coverage borderline, but there's suggestions the school is notable. Good work by Cunard finding all these sources. Rupples (talk) 14:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for reviewing the sources. The third source is three pages long, and the quote is from the abstract. Cunard (talk) 06:19, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. It's unfortunate there's access restrictions on the architectural design of the school (source 3 Bai, Jiong ). It is 3 pages in length and appears to be focussed on the school.

Appears to be a non-notable individual due to the lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Current sources primarily comprise passing mentions or interviews, which is also consistent with WP:BEFORE. Despite occasional appearances as a guest on TV shows, this alone does not establish notability. Additionally, the author appears to have a COI/UPE, considering their edit history.

Keep. Reviews of this author's work have appeared in Publishers Weekly (link), Foreword (link), The New Zealand Herald (link), Booklist (link), and other places (link 1, 2, and 3). There has also been significant coverage of the author as an expert on street food in places like the New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Bangkok Post, and a large number of other media outlets and TV shows (many of these are already linked in the article's citations). All of this shows the author meets the notability guidelines for creatives listed at WP:Author. --SouthernNights (talk) 19:47, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, such reviews don't give a free pass to notability no matter where they were published. Additionally, the other sources you mentioned are merely passing mentions and do not constitute the significant coverage required by WP:GNG. GSS ^💬 20:02, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SouthernNights was making an argument under WP:AUTHOR #3, not the GNG. It says, ... Such a person is notable if: ... 3. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) --Paul_012 (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To satisfy WP:AUTHOR#3, the book must pass WP:NBOOK, which is not the case here. Furthermore, looking at the disclaimer in the Foreword, it indicates that her book was not selected by them for review, but rather she sent her book and requested a review. The disclaimer reads: "Disclosure: This article is not an endorsement, but a review. The publisher of this book provided free copies of the book to have their book reviewed by a professional reviewer..." GSS ^💬 04:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For authors and other creative professionals, reviews are used along with overall media coverage to establish notability. And the language on the Foreword review doesn't change the fact that it is a review. Numerous publishers provide copies of books for review consideration. That is very different from a paid review or paying the reviewer. Foreword still selected the book for review. And you are absolutely wrong that to meet WP:AUTHOR#3 their books must pass WP:NBOOK. That has never been a notability guideline or requirement for any author or creative professional. SouthernNights (talk) 13:36, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, with regards to your claim that the media coverage isn't "significant coverage," the basic criteria under notability states "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability." I believe that is what we have here with all the media coverage of this person as a street food expert. This author has been featured as a street food expert in a large number of media outlets and on some well-known TV shows. When that is combined with the reviews of her books, then notability is established. SouthernNights (talk) 13:45, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Also, I'm not sure what you meant by "Current sources primarily comprise passing mentions or interviews, which is also consistent with WP:BEFORE." Did you perhaps mean to point to some other page? --Paul_012 (talk) 23:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With the term 'current sources,' I am referring to the sources already present in the article. GSS ^💬 04:15, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But what does WP:BEFORE say about them? That's the art I don't understand. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I can't decide what my vote is, but GSS, what's your problem? Don't make this discussion problematic. Someone presented reliable independent sources, but you always say, in many Thai-related AfD discussions, in some way, that these are not reliable, passing them off as mentioned, not independent, and dismissing interview pieces, blah blah... etc, even these coverages are pretty fine. In my view, these sources are okay. Please stay cool and don't resort to WP:IDONTLIKE. Thanks 180.183.224.201 (talk) 18:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The man has a job--but that job does not guarantee notability, and there is no secondary sourcing to provide notability via the GNG. He had an award, but that award does not confer notability. There was a spammy list of books (look in the history) but without secondary sources (reviews etc.), and Technics Publication seems like a fishy publishing outfit.

Delete. Lecturers, at US universities, are unlikely to be notable through WP:PROF, because it is a title used for people hired to teach classes but not expected to have signicant scholarly achievements. (In UK-based systems, the meaning of the title is totally different, more like assistant professor in US terms.) Anyway, I didn't find evidence for academic notability or WP:AUTHOR based notability for the subject. I don't think the DAMA award is enough for WP:PROF#C2 and its award citation page doesn't provide enough depth to count as one of the multiple sources needed for WP:NBIO.

Battle of Bahraich (1034)

The article depicts a legendary tale involving two figures, devoid of any historical basis. It fails WP:GNG, and there are no reliable sources referring to it as the "Battle of Bahraich." The title is a fabricated name, and reputable sources do not classify it as a battle. Instead, numerous sources, including the parent article, refer to both figures as part of a legend. Failure to meet GNG criteria and its lack of connection to actual historical events, it is worth noting that no historian identifies it as the "Battle of Bahraich."

Keep

I appreciate the concerns raised regarding the historical authenticity of the "Battle of Bahraich (1034)" article. However, I would like to provide some additional context before a decision is made.

While I understand that some sources may classify the events described in the article as a legend or myth, it's essential to recognize the cultural significance of such tales. The story of the Battle of Bahraich holds deep cultural and historical value for many communities, even if it may not align with traditional academic standards of historical evidence.

Rather than outright deletion, I suggest considering alternative approaches to the article. Perhaps it could be revised to include a section discussing the legendary aspects of the story, while also acknowledging its cultural importance. Additionally, efforts could be made to find scholarly perspectives that analyze the narrative from a cultural or folklore studies lens.

In conclusion, I believe that outright deletion may overlook the broader cultural and historical context surrounding the "Battle of Bahraich (1034)". I encourage us to explore alternative solutions that respect the cultural significance of the story while also upholding Wikipedia's standards of verifiability and neutrality.

Thank you for considering my perspective.

I don't understand how this argument makes a point to oppose the deletion. Myths cannot be mixed with history.

I apologize if I'm mistaken, but your comment appears to resemble an AI-generated essay rather than a genuine argument.Imperial ^[AFCND] 14:01, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding myths and history, Wikipedia's policy on verifiability WP:V states that all information must be based on reliable, published sources. However, the policy also acknowledges that myths and legends can be significant aspects of cultural narratives surrounding historical events. Therefore, if there are reliable sources discussing the mythological aspects of the Battle of Bahraich and their cultural significance, they can be included in the article with appropriate context and attribution, as outlined in the reliable sources guideline WP:RS.Wikipedia's naming conventions for events WP:EVENTN recommend using the most common name for the event as determined by reliable sources. If there is a commonly accepted name for the Battle of Bahraich in reliable sources, it should be used in the article. However, if no such name exists, a descriptive title that accurately reflects the nature of the conflict can be used, in accordance with the policy on article titles WP:AT. I want to clarify that the sources I have added to the article support and verify the title "Battle of Bahraich." Each citation I have included discusses this specific event, providing historical context and supporting the use of this title. Therefore, it is not an invented name but rather one supported by reliable sources. Sudsahab (talk) 14:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot find anything notable about the individual. His racing stats are certainly not notable.

Comment - Certainly not notable as a racing driver. There appear to be some Indian sources regarding his career in technology which I'm not going to bother to assess right now, but as a racing driver it's fairly obvious via the lack of dedicated racing industry press or even database sources (racing-reference, driverdb, etc.) that he's a track day hobbyist at best and if this is kept, a different disambiguator would need to be discussed via a requested move. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 03:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as likely hoax. Basically can't corroborate any of the claims in the article or sources; vastly overrepresented at best, just made up at worst. Claimed racing achievements aren't reflected in any racing press, as suggested by GhostOfDanGurney. The cryptography algorithm claims aren't reflected in any academic sources.

Delete. Fails WP:N. The subject does not seem to have done anything significant and worthy of notice enough to deserve wide attention as technology profession or as race car driver.

Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on much better sourcing than has been shown.

Technically, I propose not to completely delete this article but to redirect it to Transnistria conflict#International recognition of the sovereignty of Transnistria. My rationale is as follows: the useful content of this article can be summarized with, "Only three polities recognize Transnistria's sovereignty, which are themselves largely unrecognized states: Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Artsakh." All other content is already covered by the broader article Transnistria conflict. Initially, I considered merging this article with the broader 'Transnistria conflict' article.

Keep - @Mdggdj: This is the fourth such nomination in about as many hours with the same rationale verbatim, and as with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Linux for PlayStation 2 not only are independent sources easy to find, such as GBooks having several reviews in InfoWorld and an entire book about the subject called Superbase Revealed, there are newspaper reviews and more books on archive.org such as Using Superbase and Superbase the Book. The nomination is also inaccurate as there is an independent source already present in the article, and that with what can be found in a couple of minutes online is more than enough to show notability. - Aoidh (talk) 04:54, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep‎. The few Delete views cited NPOV concerns, which the Keep consensus views handily countered as an editorial issue, rather than a reason to delete. Similarly, BLP1E/UNDUE issues can be fixed editorially, as long as the subject is otherwise notable, and unsourced claims or labels can be removed without the need to delete or "TNT" the page, as most pointed out.

This is the 3rd deletion nomination for this subject. (Previous discussions: [5], [6]) As observed in WP:BEFORE, the subject status has not changed since the previous 2 deletions - that of a controversial social media artist. As before, the article struggles with WP:RS and WP:NPOV. Article is also WP:BLP and does not appear to contain any listed item to satisfy WP:ARTIST. All sourced material to the subject involve activity that occur exclusively on social media.

The article first sentence, short description, and page category refers to the subject as a "neo-nazi" cartoonist. This is despite the claim being disputed by the subject within the sourced materials itself. [7][8] WP:NPOV

Other material for the article include; sources from political outlets [9] [10] including those calling for the subject's deplatforming[11] per WP:RS, sources that include only short or single-sentence blurbs on the subject[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] WP:SIGCOV, and sources listed as dubious by wikipedia [18] [19] WP:RS. One notable source [20] claims that the subject is a neo-nazi, but itself references a single quote by a user banned on the X platform in relation to the subject. In every single case, the referenced material exclusively concerns interactions on social media. As one source [21] states, "this case is remarkable because no-one outside of extremely online spaces cares." Fails WP:ARTIST criterion. GoggleGoose (talk) 16:13, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm divided, because, on one hand, I'd like to see Wikipedia have far fewer articles about random internet personalities. Unfortunately the extent of this specific personality's involvement in far-right radicalization within the United States likely makes him somewhat notable. Ultimately I would say that the references at the SPLC and the ADL indicate more notability than simply showing up on Wired and, on that basis, I'd argue for Weak Keep Simonm223 (talk) 16:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning Delete – While StoneToss has become somewhat more notable recently, it is going to be near impossible to keep within the guidelines of WP:NPOV for WP:BLP for this article given the number of detractors he has. GranCavallo (talk) 17:09, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Concerns about adhering to WP:NPOV are not by themselves sufficient to justify deleting an article, since editors have navigated this on similar WP:BLP topics like the articles for Ben Shapiro and Thomas Robb. Stonetoss having many detractors is not a major issue since most of his detractors are not Wikipedia editors and some of his most vocal supporters are likely to be editors as well (generalizing based on the wider population). I would be willing to take on the task of rewriting this article in a neutral POV.

The claim that this article's existence hinges on social media interactions is inaccurate, since Stonetoss has a long history of publishing comics that espouse the author's views such as [this anti-Semitic one (Archive link [url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240117231253/https://stonetoss.com/comic/as-above-so-below/]). Publishing content on the internet that is subsequently reblogged on social media sites does not seem sufficient to describe someone as a "social media artist".

As far as notability is concerned, I might have been favour of moving the content to a "far right pipeline" or similar article, even after the doxxing incident, but X/Twitter removing mentions of Stonetoss' identity and suppressing journalist accounts elevates the notability of the original account and will result in increased searches for the author's online name. The figure is notable in far right circles, even though far right views are niche among the general population. TROPtastic (talk) 19:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Publishing content on the internet that is subsequently reblogged on social media sites does not seem sufficient to describe someone as a "social media artist".

When those reblogs are from the creator themself, it most certainly does. Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:37, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In support of @Brusquedandelion's point, the majority of the article cites a Twitter/X controversy and a single one at that. GoggleGoose (talk) 05:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The first four references (Wired, Boing Boing, Daily Dot, and Mashable) all seem to show significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:RSPS lists Wired as "generally reliable," Boing Boing as "no consensus on the reliability ... some of its articles are written by subject-matter experts ," Daily Dot as "no consensus regarding the general reliability," and Mashable as "non-sponsored content from Mashable is generally fine." Elspea756 (talk) 20:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to 2024 StoneToss controversy or something like that. I don't know whether he can be argued to be notable as a cartoonist, but X's response of aggressively clamping down on efforts to spread the article or even post the subject's name despite it not being per se a TOS violation after StoneToss personally appealed to Musk to do so is definitely getting the kind of coverage to make notability beyond question, especially in light of the apparent double standard regarding deadnaming of trans figures on the platform and Musk's relative inaction in that area. (And if we do do this, we should not publish the subject's name and at least RevDel any previous appearances. I don't care what an execrable human being he probably is, his identity was disclosed without his consent despite his efforts (documented by ACC, no less) to keep it a secret. ACC and all the others spreading it around may have their reasons, and I may agree with them, but Wikipedia does not have to, and should not be, part of this). We can only if he decides to confirm all this and discuss it. Daniel Case (talk) 20:40, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. None of these sources show any more notability than the past discussion. They’re all in the context of one event (WP:BLP1E), him getting doxed, and none of the reliable sources analyze his works. The new sources in existence do not actually discuss what would, hypothetically, be notable about him - the content of his comics. He got doxed, and then people got banned for reporting on it. Add that to the article about controversies relating to Twitter that I’m sure we have. Why would we have an article on an artist, especially a political one, when their works are barely discussed in the sources we have on them? PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:20, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If their works are barely discussed in the sources we have on them, how are we able to have the content found in Special:Permalink/1214892159#Content and reception? —Alalch E. 22:38, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the sources in this section,

ADL - passing mention

GNET report - passing mention

GNET - mentions him exclusively in the context of a Reddit conflict with little analysis of what he actually says besides racist

the daily dot - listed as no consensus on reliability; IMO they are not good for notability when it comes to the internet because they have a penchant for covering random internet drama that no other outlet cares about

ECPS - this one is good

CEP - this is an opinion blog PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:33, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's a fair analysis, but but this is also SIGCOV: Marlin-Bennett, Renée; Jackson, Susan T (February 9, 2022). "DIY Cruelty: The Global Political Micro-Practices of Hateful Memes".

(94 words, goes into intricate detail, discusses the webcomic's impact on certain online communities) —Alalch E. 01:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note to PARAKANYAA and others that it's not necessary that they be notable for "the content of his comics." They can be the author of the least notable comic book on the planet and still be notable for some other reason. Elspea756 (talk) 02:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing WP:SIGCOV in the article you linked. A mere three sentences are referring to webcomic out of the whole article, the opposite of "intricate detail". Indeed, the same source was referenced as an example of lack of WP:SIGCOV in prior deletion discussions. GoggleGoose (talk) 04:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I started out editing Wikipedia by successfully deleting dozens of vanity webcomics. This is more notable than all of those combined, backed up with many reliable sources, even before his recent outing. And it's fine to mention the author's name after it has been covered by reliable sources, it's those sources we base our judgement by.

Delete It's worth noting that the page [24] of the individual named in connection with the article has already been deleted per WP:G10, gross abuse of WP:BLP. As noted in the previous two successful deletion nominations, the subject and its controversy tends to suffer from WP:NPOV and might be the subject to WP:BATTLE. Some users claim no issue with WP:GNG, but as per Wikipedia:Notability (people), which covers biographies of living persons, the relevant criteria is WP:ARTIST and remains unsatisfied. (WP:GNG specifically links to Wikipedia:Notability (people) in that case). Most of the cited coverage is complaining about the content and not much else. A chartable interpretation might be that the subject is WP:BLP1E for being recently doxed, but the consensus of the prior two deletion discussions is that, on its own, the subject's status is just a controversial twitter user.

MiniMayor98 (talk) 15:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SNG do not override WP:GNG, and subject-specific notability guidelines are not requirements if the general one is satisfied. Very explictly, Wikipedia:Notability (people) links to GNG and restates it, saying People who meet the basic criteria may be considered notable without meeting the additional criteria below., and later A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability. (emphasis not mine) Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 16:19, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you name which Wikipedia policy says calling a spade a spade is somehow not neutral? If reliable sources are calling Stonetoss a Nazi, I fail to see how that is an NPOV violation. Brusquedandelion (talk) 03:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Almost all the article content is about the author's doxxing, and almost all the rest is about alt-right meme culture and Twitter drama generally, of which StoneToss is a small part. On its own, not sufficiently notable as either a cultural force or a webcomic. Candent shlimazel (talk) 21:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the subject is such a small part of it, why is there significant coverage of the webcomic? —Alalch E. 22:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At present the total article size is 17,220 bytes in size and the section regarding the alleged revelation of their identity is 7,019 bytes in size. Therefore your statement that "[a]lmost all the article content is about the author's doxxing" is plainly incorrect. TarnishedPath^talk 01:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If we want text size alone (no references, templates, etc., just the amount of text content that shows up), that's 4934 bytes and 1889 bytes respectively, so still very far from "almost all". Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 01:09, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In any case, not even a good argument for deletion regardless of whether it was even close. TarnishedPath^talk 02:00, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we're measuring the text in words and not bytes, like humans who read Wikipedia, doxxing content is 365/779 words, or 46.9%. Not half, but close. Getting doxxed and clowned on by reddit and being a small and relatively uninfluential part of a broad phenomenon – there: that's the whole article – does not make a subject notable. Candent shlimazel (talk) 11:39, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with @Candent shlimazel, as noted in the nom the previous 2 deletion requests could not find notability for an article, and the only update since was a twitter controversy. GoggleGoose (talk) 05:15, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't quite come to an opinion on deletion or not but Stonetoss is not just "a small part" of alt-right meme culture, he's almost certainly the best known alt-right comic creator nowadays. Alexschmidt711 (talk) 02:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just to add that I also oppose any split or rename. There is no distinct second topic here. The comic, its author and his controversies are all aspects of a single topic which is called "StoneToss" and which is the subject of this article.

Keep I am not seeing any particular evidence to challenge the notability of the subject. Dympies (talk) 03:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are enough independent, reliable sources. Their coverage of him as a topic is holistic (the comics, ideology, online influence, previous comics, identity), not in saccade or in relation only to one specific event (re: BLP1E or sporadic coverage concerns). The RS concerns are misstated ("political outlets" is not a reliability categorisation), and so are the BLP concerns (subject denials of labels like "neo-nazi" are not given consideration when deciding neutrality). More subjectively and less policy-based: his cultural "influence" is sustained (duration) and wide enough (leftist attempts to reclaim, and use by Stonetoss of numerous "gateway/radicalization pipeline" memes, like the Bitcoin one, that look innocuous and get widely shared by normies) that having an article seems appropriate. DFlhb (talk) 04:40, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Well said. In fact, with reference to the reliability of "political outlets" I would generally treat the SPLC, for example, as more reliable and a greater indicator of notability than general media when addressing notable far-right figures. Simonm223 (talk) 14:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Statements in your comment are simply incorrect. You state, "subject denials of labels like "neo-nazi" are not given consideration when deciding neutrality" is false. Such a denial, particularly when they appear in secondary sources as noted in the nom, are permissible per WP:BLPSELFPUB and WP:BLPSPS. This is in addition to the fact that "nazi" is considered a "word to watch" per MOS:LABEL (the WP:BLP concern you glossed over).

The WP:RS issue also goes beyond simply "misstated" political outlets (neither source was rated by WP:RSP, by the way) . While biased sources are permitted with caution per WP:PARTISAN, they are just one of the issues listed by the nom. It also includes sources that were deemed insufficiently WP:RS in the prior 2 deletion discussions. Again, as now and in the prior deletions, coverage of the subject focuses on drama occurring on social media. GoggleGoose (talk) 08:17, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@GoggleGoose, not being rated on WP:RSP is not a statement against a source. To imply that it is displays a fundamental lack of understanding with how WP:RSP and WP:RS/N operate. TarnishedPath^talk 08:38, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't mention it as a statement against a source. I mentioned it to clarify I wasn't doubting a source that might already exist on WP:RSP. GoggleGoose (talk) 09:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's it? At WP:ANI you had written (diff): Update: I edited the draft, moved it to mainspace based on my editorial judgement, as I found various existing sources, and new significant coverage did materialize in the last few days, then another camel-case-username account appeared from a user who had emailed WMF claiming libel and tagged for G10, Keegan took the tag down, then that user tried to enforce removal leading to 3RRN, leading to a 24h block, but this was then also followed by a CU block. In the meantime, various editors in good standing have seen the article and apparently found no fault with it, and several have edited it. —Alalch E. 11:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC) You don't find that pertinent? What happened with the WP:AFC? I read your spartan keep support here, and regardless of the way notability is trending here, I find it lacking. Yes, you have the WP:NPR user right, but from my deletion to your next-day recreation, the timeline seems a bit murky. It'd likely gone unnoticed by me had this not been brought to my attention by another admin, Liz (diff). So you need to be more upfront with how you operate when it comes to un/deletion of pages involving living persons, Alalch E. El_C 16:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At some point after making the ANI report I became interested in this topic. When I made the ANI report, I wanted to put a stop to a misuse of Wikipedia. The topic did not seem notable, I found out that there had been AfDs, and thought that we are probably not going to have this article in the foreseeable future. Then, I became interested in the topic simply from being introduced to it. My work on this preexisting draft and the decision to explore developing it into an article is essentially detached from what I saw when I encountered the made-to-troll version of this page which you deleted. And as I was working on the draft, new sources were emerging. Which is completely incidental. I did not predict this medium-size public controversy happening, especially since I am allergic to Twitter and do not follow what is going on there. I started out by adding references to preexisting sources, that already existed at the time of the last AfD, but were either not found or were not assessed properly then. I actually think that the notability of this topic rests on those sources primarily. Ultimately, the content of the page when it was moved to mainspace was completely different from any previous content that was deleted, which I determined by viewing an archived version of a deleted page under this name. Therefore, completely irrespectively of my being a new page patroller, I moved the article as an editorial decision, to enrich the encyclopedia with a new article. I could have marked the article as reviewed as a patroller because I had not created it, but consciously I did not. I anticipated an AfD and AfDs are fine. An AfD is nothing to shy from. My contributions to this article have been very stable and no serious content disputes have emerged since. My approach to this topic has been studious and responsible. And I have a certain view about AfC which I believe to be the only correct view: AfC is optional (the entire draft apparatus is optional—WP:DRAFT: ... creating a Draft version first is optional) and isn't designed to be something else + editors don't need permission to create content, and the only exception to that is when they are technically prevented from doing so through salting and title blacklisting. —Alalch E. 17:13, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upon deletion, I pointed to WP:AFC approval, specifically so that there is a record of such a review—a summary—on a page involving a living person that was twice deleted in procedures such as this (diff). But you have ignored and circumvented that, making that timeline challenging to parse. Do I need to log this caution at WP:AEL to get that point across? I didn't think I needed to, but your response above gives me pause. El_C 17:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have replied on my talk page. —Alalch E. 18:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The nom has set out in detail the problems with the sources and just been completely ignored. Where is the significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources?

The complaints of the nom have been responded to in this discussion, and they are mostly frivolous and obviously stand in contrast to the state that the article is in.

Firstly the nom overstates any issues by trying to muddy the waters on sources for which there is no consensus by claiming that they are "listed as dubious" This is simply incorrect and a misrepresentation of how WP:RSP and WP:RS/N works. A classification of "dubious" is not something that happens at WP:RSP. When RfCs are being run at WP:RS/N on the reliability of sources, "dubious" is not one of the options that is voted for or can be arrived at when a closer determines consensus.

Secondly even if we only want to rely on sources for which there is no questions about them being WP:GREL, a reference from NBC has been added since the start of this AfD. Therefore there are two in-depth, reliable sources (NBC and Wired). Thus we have "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources".

Thirdly the references used in the article don't just cover the social media spat, the fact that notability has become more apparent as a result of what occurred is not an argument for deletion. TarnishedPath^talk 11:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support perspective of @AusLondonder. This article, and the sources that are cited for it have sprung up in connection to a very recent doxing of the subject on twitter. As per WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: "Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article". This is on top of the fact that the article subject was already deleted after 2 previous deletion discussions for notability issues.

One user claims the nom is "overstated" for using the phrasing "dubious" when describing some of the citations, however it is perfectly appropriate. While WP:RSP uses the phrase "no consensus on the reliability" for the sources, describing it as "dubious" does not mean "false" or "incorrect". Again, the reliability of some of those same sources were cited as reasoning for the success of previous 2 page deletions. GoggleGoose (talk) 06:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per DFlhb rationale. Issues with RS and POV should be dealt with on talk page, not as part of a deletion process. GNG per SIGCOV from Wired and NBC. Mashable should also be acknowledged as SIGCOV, as there is consensus that the latter's non-sponsored content is "generally fine" within their remit of tech news, which this is. Given previous coverage, can't be considered for BLP1E anymore.

Keep. The subject of the article meets WP:GNG. The fact that there may be bias in the article doesn't mean that the article should be deleted - the bias or any wrong facts on the article have to be fixed. Coverage from the Evening Standard, Wired, and MSN is more than enough to establish his notability. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 00:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Neutrality is not relevant here, and there's plenty of good citations for much of the information in the article Freee Contributor (talk) 11:21, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but possibly Draftify. I think the other keep !voters have already given good rationales and I mostly agree with them, so there's not much need to add my voice to that. Frankly, I was kind of surprised to see this article nominated for deletion in the first place. That said, I agree that the article is a mess, particularly given the potential BLP concerns, so if it's going to be kept, it definitely needs a lot of cleanup (up to and including the WP:TNT approach). I'm opposed to outright deletion, but I'd be on board with draftifying it. Sleddog116 (talk) 18:07, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Something not yet observed in this deletion discussion is an admin admonishing an editor for a deceptive edit that circumvented WP:AFC for this page, which had multiple successful deletion discussions - (diff) and again (diff). I have enumerated this and other problems in the Talk Page (also diff for reference).

To reiterate the other issues briefly, they are: reverting good faith edits attempting to prevent MOS:LABEL abuse of WP:BLP; eliminating the subject's url for WP:IDONTLIKEIT reasons; and recent news attention drawing users in for a WP:BATTLE that resulted in a WP:G10 deletion of another page and attempts to hide the deletion discussion template on the mainspace, among others.

Minus the edit that was caught by an admin, all of the other issues occurred after the page was already WP:XC protected. This is a WP:NPOV mess. MiniMayor98 (talk) 21:52, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have not presented any arguments for deletion. TarnishedPath^talk 23:22, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have and I previously voted for Delete in the discussion above. To clarify, the page suffers from poor WP:NPOV and interference from WP:BATTLE. As another editor suggested, it might be worthy of WP:TNT. This was also the process by which the 1st deletion discussion ended. MiniMayor98 (talk) 07:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:LASTTIME.

Also, remember to read my comment below (23:43, 26 March 2024) and apologize to me when you can (for saying "deceptive edit"; note that that's your interpretation and the administrator did not say "deceptive"). —Alalch E. 08:10, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was observed, I saw it and responded to it. If you mean "not yet observed" as in editors not yet !voting "delete" based on what is written in that thread, that is something that did not happen because it is not a reason to delete an article, and editors know it. It could happen, as all kinds of comments are possible, and there could indeed be recommendations that the article be deleted because an editor (me) moved this page while it was a draft to article space without submitting through AfC when an administrator pointed to WP:AFC approval. However, these !votes would be discountable as failing to point to a reason to delete a page under Wikipedia's deletion policy, and the consensus to delete could not form around such comments.

You see, when closing deletion discussions, the community's consensus is judged after discarding irrelevant arguments: those that flatly contradict established policy, those that show no understanding of the matter of issue, etc. Were a closing administrator to make such a mistake to delete this page as a page not created through AfC when AfC was indicated because they thought that that was the consensus, that administrator's judgement would be very seriously questioned, and the deletion would be undone via Deletion review. This is not to say that I acted correctly not to use AfC. But the remedy is not deleting the article. It's not about the article as an article, it's about creating an easily attestable proof of good, ordinary, Wikipedia volunteer work. My work was and is good and ordinary, but when I was asked to provide assistance in creating this record, this easily attestable proof (in the form of an AfC pass, and I assure you of this: as I am a reviewer of AfC submissions and am familiar with the process and the requirements, I could hardly face any difficulties in having something I wrote accepted; so it's a formality)—to avoid possible confusion, such as the confusion that can be seen in your comment—I failed to deliver assistance. Not because I did not want to help (I very much want to help and am highly sympathetic to administrators' efforts), but I did not understand what was needed at the moment. The remedy was to warn me, see if I understand the warning and if I am willing to make the needed commitment, which I responded to by making the commitment to follow the guidance given.

Irrespective of this, as none of the above has any bearing on there being or not content issues: There are no content issues. This is a wonderful article, a wonderful educational material that will serve humanity, and a splendid source of free knowledge for generations to come. —Alalch E. 23:43, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ivanvector, noted and apologies. TarnishedPath^talk 13:59, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. To me, the subject is notable. A source stating that "no-one outside of extremely online spaces cares" has no bearing on Wikipedia policy. We're not here as activists or to virtue signal, we have to take a level-headed look at the issue of notability.

There is now more significant coverage than when the previous AfDs were opened. This Daily Dot article [[25]] covers the subject as a person, for example. But many sources refer to him only in the context of the doxing incident, so we have to be wary of WP:BLP1E. I would not oppose renaming the article to focus on this incident.

That said, I believe there is often a shortfall in Wikipedia when primarily internet-famous figures are concerned: our reliance on more "traditional" forms of media here makes very influential people under-represented in sources, despite the internet being very relevant in contemporary discourse. StoneToss has been relevant even outside the far-right bubble for a while now, he just has little coverage in the traditional media we require to have covered him. So, in principle, I am in favor of keeping the article name as it is.

I suggest using the KnowYourMeme entry ([[26]]) as a source if it can be considered an appropriate one. It lays out facts about the subject in a concise way according to data found through research. As per WP: BOLD I have added it to the page and made other changes defended here, but feel free to revert if needed.

As per WP:BLP policy, I strongly agree that this article should be overhauled to meet WP:NPOV although balanced with the info our WP:RS attest, including referring to him using various derogatory labels. Although I believe including "neo-Nazi" in the lead of the article citing a news article from Wired is a bit much. CVDX (talk) 16:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's also WP:WAPO describing him as such, but I do see your point none the less. For such a contentious MOS:LABEL I'm not convinced two reliable sources are enough as per best avoided unless widely used by reliable sources. This also comes under MOS:OPENPARABIO and doesn't necessarily reflect the balance of reliable sources, even if helps to establish notability. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 17:10, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, for the time being I have removed the "neo-Nazi" label. Later we can look more closely at the sources, when the WP:BATTLE ends. CVDX (talk) 19:32, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Call me up when it ends so I can join you. Having me on the team is an absolute asset when it comes to checking sources. First dibs on calling what we will look at first: The first source that we will look more closely at will be the reference to WP:KNOWYOURMEME, a WP:UGC website which you added in Special:Diff/1215875130, by consensus listed as a generally unreliable source, meaning: questionable in most cases. ... should never be used for information about a living person. —Alalch E. 23:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The KnowYourMeme source should definitely be discussed, but I genuinely don't think the AfD is the best place to talk about this. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 00:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, the imaginary and imputed battle is certainly expected to continue for some time after the AfD has been closed. —Alalch E. 00:13, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that's the good moment for a reminder to WP:AGF. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 00:20, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I would definitely support that we should all assume good faith I also think the claims that the page is a battleground seem over-salted somewhat. It's a fraught and contentious issue, yes, but I do think the recent multiple RFCs on the page have demonstrated that everybody there, aside from a few WP:NOTHERE trolls who have effectively been removed, is perfectly willing to collaborate. Simonm223 (talk) 12:52, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaotic Enby, I'm not sure what there is to discuss? WP:KNOWYOURMEME is WP:GUNREL per consensus at WP:RS/N and therefor it doesn't belong in a BLP under any circumstances and that's the end of the analysis. Is there something I'm missing? TarnishedPath^talk 05:31, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I agree with you, I was just thinking that it could be discussed in case some people would disagree with the removal. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 13:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lack of substantial coverage in reliable third-party sources that discuss the subject in depth. The current cited sources include passing mentions, a contributor piece, and an announcement of her inclusion in the 100 Women of Influence 2016 list, which does not automatically confer notability.

The Sydney Morning Herald piece is an interview, hence it should not be considered an independent source ~~article appears to be an interview-style piece with a "he said, she said" format~~, and it requires a subscription to access the entire content.

These are the sources I have found (not already in the article) that count towards WP:GNG: [29] [30] + the AFR and SMH ones already mentioned. I understand that this is a borderline article but I think there is enough to meet GNG with at least two sources that qualify. GMH Melbourne (talk) 01:14, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for providing the sources. To pass GNG, the subject needs coverage in independent, reliable sources. While the sources you mentioned are undoubtedly reliable, but they lack independence, so let's examine them closely. As I mentioned earlier, the article by ARF was authored by a contributor, not staff. According to WP:RSP, there's a consensus that such sources lack independence and should be treated as self-published. The SMH piece you mentioned is an interview, which is also not independent.

Now, let's discuss the two links you provided. The first one by ARF isn't about the subject of this AfD. The article includes comments from multiple people and heavily relies on their words. Similarly, the one from the Daily Telegraph heavily depends on phrases like "he said" and "she said". Since they aren't independent, they are insufficient to establish notability.

Just stating "there are sources" doesn't actually establish anything. You need to specify which sources, because as I mentioned above and in my deletion rationale, there is no significant coverage in reliable sources. While there are some sources, they aren't about this person, but about a different person under the same name. Additionally, it is suspicious that you were registered today and your first edit was to !vote here, so I highly suspect there is a case of WP:PAID and/or socking.

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

The subject of this Wikipedia article appears not to meet the notability criteria outlined in WP:GNG. Coverage primarily revolves around the individual's sudden death from cardiac arrest and controversial remarks regarding Sikhism and Sikh gurus, which sparked violent clashes between his followers and certain Sikh groups resulting in fatalities. this incident garnered media attention, but it does not inherently confer notability. Media often sensationalize and report on contentious events. Nearly all the sources in this article zero in on this event, with no secondary, independent, reliable sources found that delve into the subject beyond this incident. The first reference, a YouTube video posted by Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, an organization founded by the subject, is a primary source and lacks independence from the subject. Furthermore, the article has been subject to persistent conflicts of interest, disruptive editing, and repeated attempts by parties with vested interests to shape its content to fit a particular agenda. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS or a platform for advancing personal agendas. and claims like "His followers believe him to be alive and in a state of samadhi or deep meditation. Since January 2014, his body has been kept in a freezer by the management of DJJS, with a firm belief that he will come out of meditation", referenced to their own official YouTube channel do not meet the GNG standards.

WP:BLP of a political organizer, not properly sourced as having a genuinely strong claim to passing WP:NPOL. As currently written, the main notability claim here is that he exists, which isn't automatically enough in the absence of strong evidence that he would pass WP:GNG -- and while this is a pared-back version of an article that's been moderately longer in the past, I can't revert to older versions as they contained criminal allegations that can't be in the article at all without airtight sourcing for them, and might still just make him a WP:BLP1E anyway.
So no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody wants to write a substantial article and source it properly, but the scandal can't be in the article at all without solid sourcing for it, and he just doesn't have any other meaningful notability claims if this is all that can be said about him outside of the scandal.

Keep. Passes WP:BASIC, if not the artist-specific criteria. Have added multiple sources to the article, including this review in a local Ontario newspaper. Her reputation really is as one of the top artists from Guelph, but at least her work is also acknowledged in publications in other parts of Ontario. If this article is not kept, I would suggest a merge and redirect with her husband Nicholas Ruddock's bio, even though their careers are in completely different spheres of work; they have been married for nearly 50 years and there is a lot of coverage about that as well since he likes to talk about it. (It would seem like a more natural fit to combine their bios, if they were both artists or both novelists. For this reason as well, I think it makes more sense to keep her article separate.) Regarding the collections holding her work, there is plenty of secondary coverage accessible via ProQuest that verifies this one by one; it would just take some time to add it back to the article. I came across many snippets of critics assessing/commenting on her work as well in newspapers from the mid-1980s through to her more recent exhibitions, which could be added to the section on "Reception".

Delete: Sources are too local, I don't think she's at notability for artists. She doesn't seem to have gathered much attention from the national press in Canada. Guelph is a lower mid sized city in Ontario, so she has some local notability, but it's not Ottawa or Toronto. I don't see her works having been displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, the McMaster in Hamilton or any of the national Galleries in Ottawa. I suspect she might not be notable (for our purposes) until after she passes away and the wider art community takes notice. Oaktree b (talk) 15:51, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: She's in the permanent collection of the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery [42], a regional museum. Does that add to notability? I'm somewhat out of my wheelhouse on this one. Oaktree b (talk) 16:00, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that meets presumed criteria under WP:NARTIST. Criterion 4d would suggest it is necessary to be part of the permanent collection of several notable galleries. Is Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery notable? It has no page and is regional, but even if we grant that it is, this is just one collection. We need several. I think we should be looking at BASIC and ANYBIO. Cielquiparle asserts they meet BASIC, citing one review. The review is occasioned by an exhibition at Glenhyrst Art Gallery. I do not see how that rises above a primary source, tbh. She is an artist, she has an exhibition, and someone writes about the exhibition - which is reporting. Any artist with an exhibition will get that much.

Put another way, if all we had was that article, what could we really say about the artist? What is an article built on?

I haven't entered a !vote here because I have not satisfied myself that no secondary sources can be found, but I don't see any that have been presented to date. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A review is not a primary source. A gallery announcing an exhibit is a primary source, but a review is secondary by definition, if it is in fact independent. Anyway there are more sources in the article. Cielquiparle (talk) 17:53, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The art is the primary source and the review of the art is indeed secondary by definition. But as with all sources, whether a source is primary or secondary often depends on the question being asked. It is secondary for the art, but reporting of an artist's exhibition is primary for the artist. If it goes beyond reporting then it may be secondary for the artist too. But as I said, Put another way, if all we had was that article, what could we really say about the artist? What is an article built on? That is the real question. I'll take a look at the other sources in the article. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I said I would look at the other references in the article. Quite a lot of them are dead. There are a few that contain information that could be used to write about her, such as [43], but these write ups used in exhibitions tend to be written by the artist themself. As such they are inot independent. I looked at her CV [44] and this largely confirms Oaktree b's comments. However, per Curiocurio, the public collections at the end does mention Canada Council Art Bank among others. I am leaning delete, but would sway to keep if I believed NARTIST criterion 4 was met:
The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
I think the Canada Council Art Bank is definitely one, but we need several. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

She is in several. I don't see what the problem is with the Art Gallery of Hamilton, as Hamilton is not a small city. I also confirmed the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery and Glenhyrst in Brant. The University of Guelph site is under construction so couldn't be confirmed. Curiocurio (talk) 13:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also she has her own entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Artists which could technically be interpreted as satisfying WP:ANYBIO #3 (broadly construed). Cielquiparle (talk) 06:54, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

From my reading of it, I believe the Canadian equivalent would be Dictionary of Canadian Biography. Nothing lesser if the source is to be used to establish presumptive notability. Graywalls (talk) 15:51, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - It is borderline, but I am out of my expertise here, and so I think I should give the benefit of the doubt to keeping the article. There does, on the face of it, appear to be reason to believe she is more than just regionally notable. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lean delete for this specific article, but skeptical of the other deletions. There's not much online that I can find about this branch; here's an article in a major South Korean Christian newspaper that I think is about it: [45]. However, I think it's likely this and other branches are covered in detail in Korean-language academic sources that are behind paywalls or are in print. The Presbyterian Church in South Korea is infamously fractured and is well studied.

The larger branches especially should not be deleted. Here's an article in The Chosun Ilbo about the Presbyterian Church in Korea (HapDong) and Presbyterian Church of Korea (TongHap): [46]. Another in Kukmin Ilbo about TongHap: [47].

"Events that have a noted and sourced permanent effect of historical significance are likely to be notable." LibStar (talk) 08:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I responded to your comment and went to sleep to find three more comments under my comment. So next there will be nine? And this happened not only under my opinion. You now argue with literally every person who does not agree with you, and that is everyone, in total defiance of WP:BLUDGEON and WP:REPEAT. What is going on LibStar?

This is why the arguments are bad: [1.] Your AfD is focused on references (which you called sources). This is in defiance of WP:NEXIST. You say that there 10 references from the time of the event in the article and one that is from a later time and therefore the article should be deleted. Well, that doesn't matter yet following your logic I brought an extra source that is later than the event and that should have sufficed. By your logic. [2.] Next, your argument becomes a moving target. Suddenly later sources are no good anymore, you complained it was 10-1, and now it is 10-2, yet suddenly the sources need to be from even later. You ask where are these even later sources. Under everyone's opinion. I'll address that as well. News is quick. The source that I brought was a 2-months later history of the event, not just news. Other histories take time to be written. Let's consider a security event from way back so we will have enough historical perspective. I will pick the Ein Ofarim killings because I participated in the debate and remember the debate well. In Ein Ofarim, three Israeli security guards, securing a drilling site, were murdered. All of them happened to be Druze. The event occurred in September 1956. When the article was nominated for deletion in 2022, there was one reference from 2022 in the article. A history. The Israeli archives suck (well, still they're better than nothing), yet I was able to find more sources and after the fact stick these in the article as well. Now in the article, you will find news reports from September 1956 and histories from 1963, 1964, 1992, 1988, and 2002. This means that while on average, a relevant history is written every decade, there can be also gaps of nearly 30 years. The important part is the principle, which I already laid out: For good and bad, Israelis have a long memory and write about such events time and again in books and articles. It's still early for that. gidonb (talk) 23:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason for keeping. So we should wait for 30 years before considering this article for deletion? The fact there are 10 sources indicate this is perhaps WP:NOTNEWS. LibStar (talk) 23:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument at all. An OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument would be if I would assign importance to the fact that another article was kept. I DO NOT! I'm explaining to you with an example of an event that happened a long time ago that it takes time for history to be written. And even then, the source that I added is a HISTORICAL SOURCE that looks back at the event! gidonb (talk) 00:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so should we ban AfDs for 30 years on all Israeli event articles? LibStar (talk) 00:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. Some AfDs make sense. This nomination is not one of them. And here is a source that discusses the event in 2016. Almost 2 years after it happened. It totally debunks your argument once again! In other words, the subject of this AfD should be kept by WP:EVENTCRITERIA, WP:LASTING, WP:EFFECT, and WP:NOTNEWS! gidonb (talk) 00:43, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a number of sources at the Japanese and Chinese Wikipedias - have any of those been checked? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:40, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is frankly an odd nomination. It includes a search on Google Books on the string Zhuan Zhu "專諸" which normally excludes English-only and Chinese-only sources, but despite that the search still return results as stated on the nom. Those are entries on a compilation of characters in Beijing Opera, showing that the story of this assassination is still being performed after 2,500 years (thus BIO1E does not apply). Another thing is the arbitrary cut-off criteria for "pre-Wikipedia sources", as if books published after Wikipedia's establishment are not reliable. Even supposing that this page could not stand on its own, redirecting to Liao of Wu is a perfectly valid option and the "costly" argument is just nonsensical here. Searching on Google Books with the English (specifying "assassin" to filter out unrelated mentions) and Chinese separately gives pages upon pages of results, and for that I say keep. _dk (talk) 01:12, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The nominator is actually stating the opposite: They searched for "pre-Wikipedia" sources and found little of merit; they also searched for Wikipedia-era sources, the lack of both, per the nominator, leading to this AfD submission. Nowhere is it claimed or implied that "books published after Wikipedia's establishment are not reliable." -The Gnome (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge onto Liao of Wu since subject lacks distinct, independent notability. The opera is indeed well known. -The Gnome (talk) 11:29, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Sources have been added, and this seems to have a great deal of notability, considering there's book sources thousands of years after his life giving pages of coverage to him, in addition to a number of modern websites also having stories focused on him. "Merging" to Liao of Wu would likely equate to "redirecting", which would result in a loss of relevant and encyclopedic information on a notable and wanted topic (thousands of views in the past year; only a few people from 2.5 thousand years ago can claim that!). Meanwhile, if we actually did "merge" all this information to that article, the article would then be more focused on the assassin than the king its about! (Not to mention the Chinese Wikipedia has way more information as well.) Thus a standalone article is the best option. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What other-language Wikipedias are doing carries little to no weight as to how we proceed here. As to the predicted "imbalance" in the text in case this is merged to Liao of Wu, if this indeed proves to be an issue, it would be addressed in its own time per WP:WEIGHT, WP:SIZE, and WP:BALANCE. In the meantime, the search for significant, independent notability goes on. -The Gnome (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only way to correctly "balance" it out would be to have standalone pages (and as your main rebuttal, you misinterpret a minor point of my argument with an essay that doesn't really rebut it). As for whether he needs "significant, independent notability" of being an assassin, note that per WP:1E (the policy on that): If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role. Wikipedia's policy literally uses this type of example as what is an appropriate standalone in this sort of event. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per User:Underbar dk and User:BeanieFan11. The lesson here is that if you combine multiple scripts in the same search query, you may not find much, so that is not really an adequate WP:BEFORE search. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 11:45, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And how many as well as how strong notability-supporting sources do we obtain by the correct search? Not enough, really. -The Gnome (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty, actually. See below. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Once again, and without any more feeling than before, whatever notability can be scared up belongs to the assassination itself and the art works inspired by it; most notably the opera. Not the person per se. -The Gnome (talk) 15:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Yet there's pages and pages and pages of works talking about him (e.g. this book with several pages on him, one of the first results) and the article gets several times as many views as the king he assassinated – all indications are that this is worthy of a standalone page. We could of course move this to "Zhuan Zhu's assassination of Liao of Wu", but the content wouldn't change any and it wouldn't look right because its a biography on a page that is not titled as a biography is.

Strong Keep He is a highly notable historical figure from the Spring and Autumn period. The article has been expanded, and a strong source, "The Biographies of Assassins," has been added. He is an example of a king killer, and King Helu honored him by holding a state funeral. In the modern era, a street is named after him, establishing a pagoda in his honor. Being a stub article is not a problem, and we don't want to lose such a valuable biography of such a notable figure.

Delete. I previously argued for a !Move vote thinking the article could be salvaged if refocused to talk about the Department, but upon further examination, not one sentence in the article is actually about the Department right now, so better off nuking and rewriting. Move to Karnataka Forest Department. This appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME of the agency, and there is plenty of coverage of it in reliable sources (though the article needs to be revised to actually reference them), including books like Forestry in Karnataka – a Journey of 150 Years, Reorienting Forest Management in Karnataka, and various news articles: [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54]. The article is definitely in need of heavy revision, but famously, AfD is not cleanup.
