Charterhouse Square School (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I tagged this article about an independent primary school with potential notability issues in February this year. I have carried out WP:BEFORE, and added coverage of the school's acquisition by Cognita and its 2004 inspection, which received some media attention; both these references are to the same newspaper, the Evening Standard. I cannot find significant independent coverage in reliable sources to demonstrate that the school satisfies WP:NSCHOOL, WP:NCORP or WP:GNG. The other references and links are to the school's website, its inspection reports, the Department for Education and the association of which it is a member. This is run of the mill coverage which does not demonstrate notability. I found a letter in The Spectator about its admission procedures, a brief mention in a memoir by Andrew Mitchell (his children went there), coverage by an architectural firm of the work it did for the school, a write-up by an advertising agency of the campaign it carried out for the school, details on the council's site about the School Street restrictions around the building. None of these are significant coverage in reliable sources. Tacyarg (talk) 22:37, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Martial Arts (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article fails the second WP:NOT test of WP:GNG by being an WP:NOESSAY that is full of WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. The section listing Christian martial arts programs violates WP:NOTDIR. Sources are primary; while there are several self-published sources available, there is no independent, reliable, secondary coverage of this topic on which to base an encyclopedic treatment. (A quick note on the provenance of this page: I draftified it in September during new page review and the creator later returned it to mainspace. Another editor inadvertently draftified it a second time and then reverted per WP:DRAFTOBJECT. Hence it is now at AfD.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Christianity and Martial arts. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as Wikipedia is not a WP:WEBHOST. This is not ready to be an encyclopedic entry as it is not objective and contains WP:PEACOCK. Ktkvtsh (talk) 22:43, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As I understand Wikipedia editing (I am new to it and learning), one of the first things I read is that editors are to try to improve articles and make them ready for Wikipedia. Why seek deletion when, based on your comment (not ready), improvement and inclusion appear to be viable? Bushido77 (talk) 15:45, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have removed all of the un-needed bold and left it as italics (Bushido77 has already been warned about). I have no rebuttal to this comment by Bushido77 as it appears they have not understood or refuse to listen to anything from the several discussions concerning their articles. Ktkvtsh (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I apologize if I missed something. What I read in the Wikipedia guidelines is that some bold type is allowable. Please advise as to which article says no bold type. Thank you. Bushido77 (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It is true that the article as it currently stands is more of a sermon than an encyclopedic entry and would need much revision, perhaps on an entry on religious views on martial arts or something of that sort could be created in the future. While I have found articles analyzing martial arts from a Christian perspective (and that is indeed the sourcing being provided), there is not enough quality sourcing and scholarly analysis regarding a martial arts specialty within Christianity to create an encyclopedic article. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 23:44, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    If the article "would need much revision", would it not be appropriate to allow for such revisions to be made, rather than simply delete the article? Bushido77 (talk) 15:47, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Rejected three times by three different editors as a draft (on top of at least one regular decline) and for good reason, since there's no sourcing to support the claim that this is a recognised type of martial art. It's all original research. --bonadea contributions talk 23:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To my knowledge, no one claimed it is a recognized type of martial art. Similar to taekwondo and karate, Christian martial arts are also a subset of the martial arts. Under taekwondo and karate there are thousands of different developed styles. It is similar with Christian martial arts, under this banner there are many different styles. Bushido77 (talk) 15:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep According to the Wikipedia page about editors I read, the first response of an editor is to seek to improve the page to make it acceptable for inclusion. Instead biased opinions have done nothing to encourage correcting the page... just deleting it and a months worth of work goes down the toilet.
It appears that Wikipedia editors pick and choose the parts of the Wikipedia guides that they want to adhere to.
NONE of the article is original research. Bushido77 (talk) 00:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We should assume good faith here on Wikipedia. Complaining like this will have no effect on whether the article gets deleted, and only serves to antagonize others. Stockhausenfan (talk) 12:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus = four of us are in a room and I have $100. The other three agree that I must give them the money and they take it. Consensus got them what they wanted... but the majority does not make it right. Bushido77 (talk) 00:47, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On Wikipedia, decisions are based on consensus, not voting. Consensus is reached through reasoned arguments that demonstrate both the article’s usefulness and its reliance on reliable, independent sources, neither of which this article has. Sorry. Nswix (talk) 02:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If consensus is not based on "voting", why have I been told to only highlight "keep" once because we are only allowed to vote once? It has also been referred to as voting by others as well. Bushido77 (talk) 15:53, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Biography of a mayor, not demonstrated as the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to pass WP:NPOL #2. As always, mayors are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just for existing as mayors, and the notability test hinges on the ability to write a substantive article, referenced to a significant volume of reliable source coverage, about her political career: specific things she did, specific projects she spearheaded, specific effects her leadership had on the development of the community, and on and so forth. But this barely goes any further than "there once was a mayor who lived and died, the end", and is referenced entirely to three short blurbs that aren't enough to pass WP:GNG all by themselves, with no evidence of genuinely substantive coverage shown at all.
The mere fact that she existed is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt the article from having to have a lot more substance, and a lot more sourcing to support it, than this. Bearcat (talk) 21:43, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which has nothing to do with our notability criteria for mayors. Those hinge on the quality and depth of what can be said about her mayoralty based on reliable sources, and confer absolutely no exemptions from that just because of the population of the municipality.

  • Happymaza, Not sure what this source is and cannot locate anything on the Waybackmachine.
  • The International News, references says nothing about the series.
  • News18, typical churnalism as we see often. Falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA and cannot be used to establish notability.
  • Dawn, as with The International News source, says nothing about the series. In fact, the reference is used to support an award nomination and the reference doesn't even support that.
  • GQ India, probably the only source that comes close to significant coverage. It is one of of seven series listed in a listicle and has one paragraph (five sentences) with a brief overview.
  • The Tribune, also falls under NEWSORGINDIA. But, even if it was bylined, the source only contains one mention of the series where the writer was nominated for an award.
  • Keep - The serial aired back in 2017 and have still information available on websites as per above sources analysis (i.e, GQ India, Tribune and The News), I can't recall what exactly the policy said but there was something regarding serials that aired before 5 recent years should be considered notable on the basis of their available reference cites. Therefore, I feel rather than going for the quantity considering the coverage, it should be kept plus I found some sources on search as well like this.Reshmaaaa (talk) 20:17, 24 October 2024 (UTC) Reshmaaaa (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
You can't recall what the policy yet only have 10 edits prior to this AfD discussion so you must have just saw it unless you have prior editing experience. By the way, the source you provided above falls under WP:NEWSORGINDIA so cannot be used for notability. Nothing else you provided in your keep vote is policy-based. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:56, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I do have minimal contribution cause I prefer going by the rules and policies and I'm taking my time to read policies and guidelines. Anyways, in Wikipedia:Notability (television) under WP:NTVNATL, it's clearly mentioned why this should be kept as it aired not only on National television plus it has garnered broader regional coverage. Neither it was instantly cancelled or aired on a minor secondary channel to be not notable. Since that's what policy said, so in line with it I have voted "Keep".Reshmaaaa (talk) 09:31, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
First, you're referencing an essay and second, this essay states that television program is more likely to be notable if it airs on a network of television stations. However, I don't see it as notable because if it were, it would have easily met the GNG. PS. Declare your other sock accounts!Saqib (talk I contribs) 19:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
YES, It has been aired on Hum TV as well as Hum Sitaray so it is more likely to be notable as it has aired on a network of television stations plus it has been available for streaming in India as well, making it notable as per the said essay. As far as your claim of sock account is concerned, see User talk:Reshmaaaa. Reshmaaaa (talk) 18:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reshmaaaa, Just because it aired on some TV channels doesn't make it WP:N; it has to meet GNG, which nobody has been able to demonstrate yet.Saqib (talk I contribs) 17:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The essay I mentioned itself establishes WP:N regarding WP: Notability (TV) and the article falls under this category I guess. I'll leave it to closing admin now to decide. I'll stick to my vote cause I see it as a notable show as per WP:Notability (TV) as I mentioned earlier. Reshmaaaa (talk) 18:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Admin Liz already notified here not to use WP:NEWSORGINDIA in Pakistan related AFD's and do not use it as a justification for deletion therefore it is not a valid point to mention here. Libraa2019 (talk) 05:07, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not how that works. There has been disagreement about the application of NEWSORGINDIA but no consunsus if it applies to ONLY India or the subcontinent. You could always bring it up on the RSN but Wikipedia relies on consensus, not dictatorship. Those sources are being challenged as unreliable. It would be up to you to show how they are reliable. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:09, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But the case is similar here, your vote is based on WP:NEWSORGINDIA sites and Liz has clearly quoted here not to use it as a justification in future Afds. Reshmaaaa (talk) 18:50, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Reshmaaaa, No offense to Liz, but I also believe WP:NEWSORGINDIA is relevant here and should apply to every Pakistan-related AFD.Saqib (talk I contribs) 18:56, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am aware of the comment left by Liz. I am also aware that some others have expressed their concern that it doesn't apply to media outlets outside of India. I am also aware that others have expressed that it DOES in fact apply to media outlets in the region. What you are inferring is that we should honor an admin's statement because they are an admin. I respect their opinion, but again, consensus is what governs. Also, you keep going back to this statement instead of showing how the disputed sources are in fact reliable which would be more helpful to the discussion. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:39, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41 I'm not keep going back to that statement, I'm just linking your vote with a closing admin's decision. Based on it your vote becomes null and void since you've yourself said it in your source analysis that One of the sources covers WP:SIGCOV and others are WP: NEWSORGINDIA, which is not supposed to be a decisive factor in deleting this article. And are you sure this reference says nothing about article cause apparently it does mention the show in it's title and based solely on the show, Isn't it? Reshmaaaa (talk) 20:54, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You do keep going back to the statement by saying my !vote is null and void. I have stated (twice now) why the statement by an admin is not consensus. As far as the reference you provided above, it is NOT significant coverage. It is about one of the actors and mentions the show. --CNMall41 (talk) 02:58, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But in your source analysis you said the reference said nothing about the show now you're saying it isn't WP:SIGCOV. No offense but your analysis doesn't seems to be reliable to me. And reference just doesn't mention the show, it gives out detail as to main character along side other cast and characters. Reshmaaaa (talk) 05:53, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actualy, I said "series," not "show." And yes, I stand by that statement - "Nothing "about" the show" (quotation added to the "about) - It is about Feroze Khan and his role, not about the serial itself. This is becoming ad nauseam so I will ask one final time - are you able to demonstrate why the sources are reliable? --CNMall41 (talk) 06:05, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CNMall41, 1, 2, 3 are covering WP:SIGCOV, you've agreed with one of them being WP:SIGCOV as well. Secondly, it does meet WP: Notability (TV). You still think it is not notable as it meets WP:Independent, WP:Secondary, WP:Notability (TV) and WP:SIGCOV. Keeping in mind show aired sometime back, if it still meets these guidelines than it should stay. Leaving it to closing admin now, don't want to further stretch it anymore, Thanks.Reshmaaaa (talk) 14:30, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I endorse the source assessment done by CNMall41.Saqib (talk I contribs) 13:13, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Reshmaaa:, do not put words in my mouth. I said it was the closest to significant coverage. Significant coverage says "directly and in detail." In addition to the first source not being in detail, it is also not reliable under NEWSORGINDIA, at least for the purpose of establishing notability. The second we have already addressed as being the "closest to significant coverage" than anything else avaiable. The third is no where close to addressing it in detail. It is mentioned with the actor in a series they are in. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:19, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article reads more as a press release and resume to PROMOTE the subject and covers the works he has appeared in only briefly with WP:UNDUEWEIGHT, using loaded language such as "celebrated" in reference to some of those works. A general overreliance on unreliable sources such as IMDb and some profiles of British-specific sites, this subject does not appear to have had any significant coverage or major roles in multiple significant media he has partaken in, failing WP:JOURNALIST and WP:NACTOR. The four sources citing how he is "widely known" all relate to the same Tesla report, and brief stints such as a Minecraft collab and refs simply noting what he has reported on do not prove the notability of the subject himself.

The Pacific War and Contingent Victory (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Irresponsible, misleading and of the nature of personal attack.

This is a very poorly written book review and shows every sign that the author of the Wikipedia article consulted other book reviews and relied on them, rather than reading The Pacific War and Contingent Victory itself.

The section “Premise” is misnamed. In this section, the author attempts to present the thesis of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory through a brief summary of the argument. By calling the section “Premise” the author implies that the book does not contain an argument but is rather a mere assertion or proposition, which is incorrect. The book contains a fully formed argument, complete with premises and conclusion.

In the first sentence, the author writes, “In The Pacific War and Contingent Victory, Myers argues against the dominant belief that the economic and industrial superiority of the United States made Japan's defeat in World War II an inevitability.” This statement is basically correct, but the author fails to mention that the view that Japan’s defeat was inevitable is contested. Jeremy Yellen, for example, in his review of a book chapter by Myers, argues that contemporary Japanese scholars do not hold the inevitability view. See Jeremy A. Yellen, Social Science Japan Journal, Volume 25, Issue 1, Winter 2022, Pages 157–160. The author should unpack what “dominant belief” means in this context. It could mean that immediate postwar historiography and recent writing alike hold inevitable defeat as the predominant view.

The next sentence, “The book proposes an invasion of Australia and Hawaii, or the United States negotiating a peace settlement due to war exhaustion as two scenarios that could have allowed Japan to avoid defeat in the war” is incorrect and reflects neither the book itself nor the review that the author uses as a source. The Pacific War and Contingent Victory never proposes an invasion of Australia. It does not propose “scenarios” at all but rather gives evidence from Japanese sources of Japan’s plan to isolate Australia by invading Fiji, Samoa and New Caledonia, the so-called FS Operation. Japan did made plans to invade the Hawaiian Islands. The Pacific War and Contingent Victory concludes that these plans were rational plans in the context of 1942 Japanese strategic decision-making. It never argues that Japan ought to have adopted one or both plans in order to avoid defeat.

The thesis of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory is thus misstated; the argument of the book is completely neglected.

The Section “Reception” does not address positive and negative criticism of the book in a way that the reader can use to form a judgment about the relative merits or shortcomings of the book. Rather, the author collects various generalized remarks in a haphazard and irresponsible way. In the positive comments, the author does not tell, for example, why the book is useful or worthy of study, or how it is well-researched. The negative comments reflect the worst subjective judgments but are adduced as if they are valid conclusions. Bernstein’s comments really amount to nothing more than personal attacks on the author of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory with such judgments as that the book is “greatly flawed” and the author engages in “wishful thinking” and is “ignorant.” It’s irresponsible to repeat these in a book review where the argument of the book itself is not discussed in detail.

The author writes of Bernstein, “He suggested that the opportunities given by Myers were not realistic, as Japan's failure to occupy either Port Moresby or the Battle of Coral forcibly put them on the defensive. Bernstein went on to suggest that ‘the author fundamentally misunderstands the nature of maritime warfare’, and that he ‘places too much emphasis on armies’, who Bernstein argued have no strategic use without proper aerial and naval support.” Both these criticisms are beside the point. The first one is not grammatical as one cannot occupy a battle. The Pacific War and Contingent Victory does discuss Japan’s failure to occupy Port Moresby and the outcome of the Battle of Coral Sea, but in the context of the FS operation and the end of Japanese expansion. The charge that the author of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory “fundamentally misunderstands the nature of maritime warfare” because he does not believe the inevitability thesis is a non sequitur. Nowhere does the author of The Contingent War and Pacific Victory argue that armies need not have aerial and naval support. The author of the Wikipedia review has chosen an irresponsible review and repeated it with glad abandon.

Finally, the summary of Bob Seal’s review is revealing of the lack of understanding of the thesis of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory by both Seals and the author who here quotes him. Of course, all warfare can be described as contingent. That is exactly the point. The problematic set out by The Pacific War and Contingent Victory is, Why is all warfare considered contingent yet the Pacific War is not?

The book review of The Pacific War and Contingent Victory is irresponsible and poorly written. It contains unwarranted personal attacks. The entire article should be deleted from Wikipedia. Nidrsta (talk) 19:29, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles should not be deleted just because they are poorly written, see Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. Any issues can be settled by editing the article itself. The main reason why an article should be deleted is that it is not notable as defined by Wikipedia. The Wikipedia article is not an original book review. Wikipedia articles should summarize other book reviews, instead of writing an original review, as this would violate Wikipedia:No original research. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:43, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:Notability (books). To Nidrsta, your claim that "the author of the Wikipedia article consulted other book reviews and relied on them" is especially relevant, because that is exactly the point of Wikipedia as a website. It's not our job to engage in WP:Original research and write our own reviews or argumentation of books we've read. Loafiewa (talk) 20:08, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for deletion is that the article is irresponsible, misleading and of the nature of personal attack. I do not request deletion "just because" it is poorly written. You may review the reasons and the citation of evidence in support of them. Wikipedia reviews should summarize other reviews, but having read the original book and being familiar with its contents does not constitute original research. It constitutes responsibility in speaking about one's topic. Cherry picking other people's reviews for their emotive power, giving falsehoods about the argument of the book, and passing along ad hominem arguments is grounds for deletion rather than editing, because the entire article is irredeemable as written. Nidrsta (talk) 20:14, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a connection to this book? If you do, you should disclose it per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 20:22, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you change the subject and refuse to address the topics raised? You're not supposed to ask that, and I take it as a form of harassment. "When investigating COI editing, do not reveal the identity of editors against their wishes. Wikipedia's policy against harassment, and in particular the prohibition against disclosing personal information, takes precedence over this guideline." Nidrsta (talk) 20:44, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please note: (a) users with a COI are required to disclose their COI, as per WP:COI, and (b) you haven't actually given a policy compliant reason for the article to be deleted. The entire basis of the nomination is because you WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. Axad12 (talk) 13:06, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. Nomination lacks any merit in terms of policy and OP surely either has an undeclared COI or is simply a WP:POV pusher. E.g. see above where the user incorrectly notes that users should not ask others to declare COI (in which case why is there a standard talk page template for requesting just that?) and further states incorrectly at COIN [12] that they have no need to declare a COI because any potential conflict of interest is between me and Wikipedia.

As a non U.S., non American football editor I’m perplexed by this article. I find it hard to imagine that someone who has spent most of their career as a school coach, with a brief stint as a university coach, could genuinely be notable. They clearly have coverage in local press but this article is essentially a stub with some team stats tacked on. There may be a case for redirecting but I’m not sure where, and overall, deletion seems the best course to me, but perhaps others will have a different view.

Mostly unsourced or sourced to the author himself. This appears to be a split of the Foundation universe and describes similar subject matter with less references. It could be a useful redirect but there is otherwise very little sourced material to WP:PRESERVE. Jontesta (talk) 16:38, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment; I've now created a "Psychohistory" sub-section within the Foundation universe article, as the concept is so central to the plot of the series. But it needs nowhere near the level of detail in this article, which is quite excessive. — The Anome (talk) 09:02, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Nice! I would recommend Foundation universe#Psychohistory as my updated recommendation for a Redirect target, then. Rorshacma (talk) 15:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep No before articulated, a brief search shows Journal of Psychohistory exists, so we need to have a clear delineation of why this isn't that--that is, I understand the differences, but those arguing for deletion own the burden to demonstrate why <2 of all RS citing psychohistory might apply to this topic. Much per Daranios, but this needs to be a bit more forceful. "This article sucks" is a great argument for cleanup, to which I have no objection, but not a valid argument for deletion. I am glad that Rorshacma and others understand that this must at least remain a redirect, but it is not clear to me why BLAR was not tried first. Jclemens (talk) 22:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you see the delineation between Psychohistory the real science discussed by the Journal of Psychohistory and Psychohistory (fictional science)? WP:AGF, I am trying to understand why you are bringing up a journal about a different topic, covered by a different article, which is not up for deletion. Jontesta (talk) 03:32, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Allow me to rephrase: Since there is both a real science and a fictional science, there's a lot of BEFORE to go through, none of which has been demonstrated, to assess that there's nothing with which to improve the article. Jclemens (talk) 05:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean, improvement need not necessarily happen at this title. If the current contents would be better covered at a different article (or several) per WP:PAGEDECIDE, there's nothing stopping us from doing that and splitting those contents into a stand-alone article if and when improvement/expansion has happened to a sufficient extent that doing so would be motivated. TompaDompa (talk) 06:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I also think it's rather peculiar to simultaneously argue that the article should be kept and that it would have been better to WP:Blank and redirect the article than to bring it to WP:AfD. Those seem like contradictory positions to me, but maybe there's something I'm missing. TompaDompa (talk) 21:51, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not at all; both are process-based critiques: 1) BEFORE wasn't attempted based on the confounding similarly named real science, and 2) if all that was desired was BLAR, why was BLAR not done editorially before bringing this needlessly to AfD? Jclemens (talk) 01:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I know you are aware that WP:BLARs are frequently contested and editors told to take it to WP:AfD. Some editors even consider WP:BLAR without preceding AfD to be an inappropriate form of "stealth deletion". AfD is one way to build consensus and get a mandate for redirects and merges expected to be potentially controversial. WP:BLAR says An RfC closed in 2021 found Most users believe that AfD should be used to settle controversial or contested cases of blanking and redirecting. and WP:CONRED, which is part of WP:BEFORE, says that If a redirection is controversial, however, AfD may be an appropriate venue for discussing the change in addition to the article's talk page.. For that matter, WP:BEFORE says to Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability—but the stated reason in the nomination is not a lack of notability but being a needless split. You seem to me to be overly focused on process to the detriment of actually determining what the best course of action for dealing with the article and its contents might be. Remember that WP:Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. TompaDompa (talk) 04:12, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Was there any indication that this was controversial? I didn't see one, but I clearly could have missed it. I'm not a huge fan of unannounced BLARs either, but I've learned a while ago that we've developed a process that's a cohesive whole, even the parts I don't prefer, and that running the process in good faith is the best way to achieve encyclopedic results. That's not bureaucratic so much as it is a series of checks and balances. Jclemens (talk) 21:54, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know if there was any such indication here specifically, but I also don't think it really matters—it's not unreasonable to expect something like this to be potentially controversial. Saying that this is not bureaucratic so much as it is a series of checks and balances sounds like a distinction without a difference when your argument for keeping this article is entirely on procedural grounds rather than the merits of the article, its contents, and its topic. TompaDompa (talk) 22:29, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Has someone done a BEFORE yet and I missed it? Jclemens (talk) 09:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Per this: yes. More importantly however, it is not required: if the rationale in the nomination is not a lack of notability, a search for sources to ascertain notability is not required per WP:BEFORE (the specific instructions are If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. and Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability). Likewise, using WP:AfD to discuss potential redirects is encouraged in some cases per WP:CONRED: If a redirection is controversial, however, AfD may be an appropriate venue for discussing the change in addition to the article's talk page. TompaDompa (talk) 19:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Right. So no BEFORE has been done that even acknowledges my concerns. Not sure why you felt necessary to point out that it is expected but then say that it isn't, but the fact remains that no one seems to have addressed the overlap in RS coverage between the fictional and real disciplines besides me. Jclemens (talk) 23:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I can explain to you again that searching for additional sources is only required if a nomination is based on a lack of notability and that this isn't the case here, but it's probably easier if you just read what I wrote previously. I reckon the reason nobody other than you has brought up the real-world discipline psychohistory is that it is a red herring. Your concern is about matters external to Wikipedia, namely the coverage in the sources, whereas the larger discussion is about matters internal to Wikipedia, namely the best way to cover the topic (specifically, WP:PAGEDECIDE). These questions are orthogonal to each other, which I'm sure you understand if you think about it for a moment. TompaDompa (talk) 07:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But their editing suggests it may be UPE, as they’re trying to create a BLP for a ROTM actress who clearly fails GNG and has only had minor roles in a few TV dramas, which means she doesn’t meet NACTOR either.

Inviting the closing/relisting administrator/user to advise nom to avoid general ad hominem remarks that could be ill-perceived; any good faith contributor can generally check the roles through the articles about the productions any given actor plays in, and verify it is a lead/recurring/main cast role or not, and I !vote accordingly when such verifications are easily feasible with a little good will; in the present case, I indicate this clearly in my !vote. For example, at random, in Kaisi Teri Khudgarzi; https://www.thecelebrays.com/kaisi-teri-khudgarzi-drama-review/: notable production+significant role; Do Bol, https://thefridaytimes.com/19-Feb-2023/rapid-fire-with-laiba-khan; notable production+significant role; Tarap https://www.hipinpakistan.com/news/1158812; notable productions+significant role.

I still disagree with their reasoning, @Libraa2019, wrote passes WP:NACTOR through major roles in Kaffara and Baylagam but neither of these TV series has its own WP article, which indicates they are non-notable, but I don’t want to argue further, as that could be seen as WP:BLUDGEONING.Saqib (talk I contribs) 17:10, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I looked through the sources provided above and nothing can be used to establish notability. Interviews, mentions, WP:NEWSORGINDIA, and articles which are reporting what she said on social media do NOT count towards notability. Also, having a major role (I don't care if it was the leading role) does not guarantee notability. The guideline says "may" be notable, not "is" notable. Some of the sources in the list above are obvious as being non-reliable, but there are some that appear to be on their surface but are not. An example is this from the MinuteMirror. Bylined but the publication accepts mass contributor submissions which this appears to be by the byline of the submitter. No editorial oversight involved. The closest to establishing notability would be this, but she is listed in an article with others as someone on a list. If the person was notable, she would be worthy of notice and shown by significant coverage outside of paid media, churnalism, press releases, mentions, etc. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:08, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No refs on the page for many years. There appears to be another archaeological site in Corsica called Vasculacciu which could be an alternative spelling, but I'm unable to confirm it is the same place, and therefore cannot add any of the sources which refer to it. JMWt (talk) 16:12, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Google Maps can't find it under either name. DuckDuckGo fnds nothing for Vasculaghju other than a link to this Wikipedia article, but several entries for Vasculacciu. Apart from the u at the end Vasculacciu looks Italian, but Vasculaghju looks Corsican (and the final u looks Corsican in both). I suspect that both refer to the same place.

Comment. The map on p261 of this academic journal article New data and provenance of obsidian blocks from Middle Neolithic contexts on Corsica (western Mediterranean) puts Vasculacciu in south Corsica. The current coordinates in the article put Vasculaghju in north Corsica (of course that is not to say that those coordinates are correct!), but is interesting that both words occur in the source. This web page France - Coffres de Vasculacciu - maybe questionable reliability - has Vasculaghju as an alternative name for Vasculacciu, and the coordinates match that on the map in the first source.

Biography of a Christian pastor and martial arts practitioner. While he was without any doubt an very worthy person who did good things for his community, I do not think he meets any notability criteria, neither WP:GNG/WP:BASIC nor WP:NATHLETE. The many sources are either primary and non-independent, non-reliable per WP:RS, or brief mentions in local newspapers. Taken together, these do not constitute significant coverage. bonadea contributions talk 15:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You said "The many sources are either primary and non-independent, non-reliable"
My response: How are ~60 newspaper articles not reliable? How are newspaper articles not secondary sources. Heisner did not own any of the newspapers. How is Robert Heisner's involvement in giving the key to the city of Niagara Falls, NY to Shihan Hironori Otsuka (founder of Wado Kai) not notable?

You misread the nomination rationale. The sources are a) primary and non-independent or b) non-reliable or c) brief mentions in local newspapers. Taken together, these do not constitute significant coverage. You may also have missed the part where I referred to the specific notability criteria that must be met. Being involved in giving the key to a city to a notable individual is not grounds for notability.

Heisner was not just a martial arts practitioner. He developed a new style combining seven different martial arts in which he was black belt ranked and instructor certified. He also launched a Christian martial arts ministry. Bushido77 (talk) 15:53, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While he may have had a positive local impact, the article does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines WP:GNG. Most of the sources are either brief mentions or affiliated with Heisner, failing to provide the significant, independent coverage required. Most of them are mentions of him doing a performance in a local area. One sentence per article is not what we are looking for. Additionally, the tone of the article is not neutral WP:NPOV and reads more like a tribute than an encyclopedia entry. User:Bushido77, who has openly stated they were a student of Heisner for over 40 years, has a conflict of interest WP:COI, further compromising the article’s neutrality and reliability. This article contains unencyclopedic content with excessive detail, violating WP:UNDUE, and relies on primary sources, which do not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliability WP:RS. For these reasons, I believe this article should be deleted. Ktkvtsh (talk) 16:23, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    KEEP - the majority is NOT always right.
    Absolutely! I admitted right from the beginning (as a Christian I am an honest person.) Even though I admitted it, I worked hard to make it neutral and the article was approved.
    So, the majority will remove a valuable article from Wikipedia. The Heisner page has had more than 800 visitors in the last 30 days, which is more than many other martial artists pages on this platform. Bushido77 (talk) 16:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said "Most of the sources are either brief mentions or affiliated with Heisner..."
    My response: none of the newspapers are "affiliated with Heisner". He did not own or work for any of the newspapers.
    You said "Additionally, the tone of the article is not neutral..."
    My response: I worked on that to the point that the article was approved. Wouldn't the proper thing to do be to continue working on the tone, rather than deleting the article?
    You said "who has openly stated they were a student of Heisner for over 40 years, has a conflict of interest "
    My response: I honestly admitted that from the very onset of the article. I read the documents you cited and none of them forbade creating the article. It was encouraged against, but not forbidden. I am one of very few who knows the details of the founding of the karate system better than nearly all others. Someone should have told me I could not write the article, rather than let me waste 4 or 5 months working on it and getting past 5 or 6 rejections before it was finally accepted.
    You said "This article contains unencyclopedic content with excessive detail..."
    My response: in this case, would the proper response be to rewrite the article rather than delete it?
    You said "and relies on primary sources, which do not meet Wikipedia’s standards for reliability"
    My response there are very few primary sources in the article, and there are many secondary sources that validate the few primary sources.
    All in all, deleting the article is the wrong course of action. Improving the article is the appropriate steps to take. Bushido77 (talk) 17:24, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bushido77, We all appreciate the effort you’ve put into the article. Wikipedia’s standards focus on notability and reliable sourcing, not personal impact or page views. Yes, you disclosed your connection to Heisner. Even with good intentions, that connection can affect the article’s neutrality WP:NPOV. We recommend that editors with close ties to a subject let others take the lead to maintain impartiality WP:COI. I believe the best course is to let this article go. Ktkvtsh (talk) 19:04, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said - " Even with good intentions, that connection can affect the article’s neutrality..."
    My response - I am not even suggesting that the article is completely neutral. I said I worked hard to make it neutral and the article was accepted.
    You said - "I believe the best course is to let this article go"
    My response - I completely disagree and your approach seems contradictory to Wikipedia editor guidelines. Somewhere I read (I have to find it) that the first response from editors should be to improve the article. But in this case the first response is to try to delete the article. Bushido77 (talk) 19:38, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bushido77, honestly, this whole discussion feels like it’s veered off track. It seems like you’re more interested in debating every point than actually finding a productive path forward. At the end of the day, the purpose here isn’t to win an argument—it’s to determine if the article belongs on Wikipedia based on clear policies, not personal feelings or effort spent.
    We get it—you’ve worked hard on this, and that’s commendable. But dragging out this discussion with repetitive justifications isn’t going to change the reality that articles need to meet notability and sourcing standards, and this one just doesn’t. No one is out to get you, and this isn’t personal. It's about maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia, and every editor here is trying to do that in good faith.
    If you’re serious about contributing to Wikipedia in a meaningful way, maybe it’s time to step back, look at the broader picture, and accept that not every subject fits. There’s no shame in that—what matters is learning from this process and applying it to future contributions. But we’re not going to make progress if this stays stuck in a loop of defensiveness. Let’s keep it civil and focused on the task at hand, or we’ll just waste more time going in circles. Ktkvtsh (talk) 20:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said - "It seems like you’re more interested in debating every point than actually finding a productive path forward"
    My response - a productive path forward does not include deleting a good article, about a notable individual, about a notable individual who contributed heavily to the martial arts, his community, Christianity, and via himself and others he impacted, the world.
    If you have a productive path forward I will listen. So far all I have heard are self-justifications to delete (not go forward with) the article.
    ____________
    You said - "Let’s keep it civil and focused on the task at hand, or we’ll just waste more time going in circles"
    My response - I am all for it. But civil is not deleting an article based on what I believe are biased conclusions. Give me a constructive path forward... not a path to the trash heap.

  • Comment. I reviewed each of the very many sources, and the vast majority of these are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES and WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS in WP:RSSM and other outlets. There is very little evidence that Heisner was discussed with WP:SIGCOV in secondary, independent, reliable sources. However, three sources do appear to get close to WP:SIGCOV, although one is short and it and another seem to be based solely on an interview with Heisner. They are two articles in the Buffalo News (here, here) and one article in the Niagara Falls Gazette. I am truly on the fence so I'd submit these for Bonadea, Ktkvtsh, Nswix and other editors' consideration as to whether they qualify toward WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Even if the outcome is ultimately "keep" or "no consensus," this article will still need to be WP:TNT'd because the vast majority of it is WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said "and the vast majority of these are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES "
    My response: not possible. Heisner did not write those newspaper articles. He did not work for any of those papers.
    You said "and one article in the Niagara Falls Gazette"
    My response: there are several (I count 18 links) articles in the Niagara Falls Gazette.
    As for blowing it up and starting again, that is unlikely. I spent 4 or 5 months writing, correcting, making it more neutral, etc. It was rejected 5 or 6 times before it was finally accepted. It is unlikely that I will be spending more time in what seems to me to be a biased atmosphere.
    Why did the other editors accept the article?
    I am all for improving the article, but deleting it after it has been published and after over 1,000 page views in such a short time, seems to me to be short-sighted and a biased (non-neutral) decision. Bushido77 (talk) 18:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    First of all, please stop once and for all using bold text in the visual editor. It is disruptive formatting in a deletion discussion. The vast majority of the news stories you added are trivial mentions--a single quote from Heisner or a mention in a community section that he was going to teach a class at the YMCA. Often the mentions were his own ads, which yes, are primary sources, as are all the links to websites associated with him. There was only one Gazette article that got close to "significant coverage," which is what is required for a source to count toward a notability guideline. Finally, this is a rather counterproductive response to the only editor in this discussion thus far who has identified any sources that might support a "keep" decision. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:57, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said - " Often the mentions were his own ads"
    My response - Not true! His ads comprise three or four of the 60 newspapers and that was only to establish his schools under Park Jong-soo. One of those articles was put in the Toronto Yellow Pages by Master Park Jong-soo, not by Robert Heisner. Thus a secondary source, and one of the 12 original tae kwon do leaders.
    I am not desiring to be counter-productive, but one of your comments was blow it up and start again. That is not the right approach. Bushido77 (talk) 19:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Your view of what constitutes a primary source is significantly out of alignment with Wikipedia's. I don't have any more to say on this. Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:59, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You said - "Your view of what constitutes a primary source is significantly out of alignment with Wikipedia's"
    Copied from Wikipedia about primary sources:
    "In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called an original source) is an artifact, document, diary, manuscript, autobiography, recording, or any other source of information that was created at the time under study."
    My response - almost nothing in the Robert Heisner article is a primary source (the only exception that comes to mind is the book we wrote and a couple of advertisements he placed in local newspapers.)
    Artifacts - possibly Master Park Jong Soo's 1970's Toronto Yellow Pages article
    Nothing else appears to fall into the primary source category (that I can think of.) Bushido77 (talk) 20:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I see where your confusion comes from! It looks like you have been basing your understanding on the first couple of sentences in the Wikipedia article Primary source. Instead, you need to read and understand the Wikipedia policy page WP:PRIMARY. (It is also linked from the very top of the article you quoted from.) Wikipedia's definition isn't much different from the one used by historians, but the WP article doesn't mention all different kinds of primary sources in the introduction, so that's another reason to go straight to the policy page which is written with a different purpose in mind. --bonadea contributions talk 16:48, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, Dclemens1971! I truly appreciate the work you did – I still don't think the sourcing is at all sufficient, though. As you say, one of the Buffalo News pieces is primary, so that's no good; the other one and the Niagara Falls Gazette are only slightly more substantial than all the trivial mentions in other papers. Added to the fact that both papers are hyper-local, I just can't see it. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and remove all the stuff that would have to be removed if the article were to be kept, just so we can get a better idea – as Ktkvtsh also pointed out above, there's tons of unencyclopedic detail in there. Am a little hesitant to put more time into an article I don't believe meets any notability criteria, though.
Bushido77, you say above that you are not sure how to remove the bold formatting from your comments. Would it be OK if I or some other participant went ahead and did that for you (except for one "keep")? --bonadea contributions talk 19:55, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You said - "This whole discussion is the dispute resolution."
My response - It does not seem like a dispute resolution. It seems like a democratic vote to keep or destroy the article. Resolution implies resolving the problem, this appears to seek to destroy content (rather than fix it.)
That seems very unfair. A bunch of people band together against an article with:
  • four or five months of work
  • tons of research
  • 60 + links to newspapers
  • ~1,350+ page views in less than two months
  • Better and more complete content than many similar pages I have looked at (including one of Heisner's instructors)
  • a person who developed a new martial art style
But, if there is no other dispute resolution options, I guess that is that. Bushido77 (talk) 18:49, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I thought Wikipedia had a policy to assume good faith? Your comment does not appear to assume good faith. You said "Promotional puff piece which over exaggerates the trivial, fakes verification and even provides a commercial link to try sell this pages authors book."
    As previously discussed with regards to the book, all of the photos on this page are in that book which Heisner and myself hold the copyrights to. So the book was added for two reasons. 1) It is part of Robert Heisner's legacy (which I have seen on other pages. 2) It validates the copyright owner ship of the photos. I added both the book itself and a link to the copyright office to the article in good faith.
    Thanks for admitting that there may be notability in this article. In light of the possibility of being notable, I think deleting the article is the wrong decision. Fixing the article would be the correct approach. Bushido77 (talk) 13:38, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Deletion and keeping it as a draft are two different things.

It is unlikely the article will ever be published because there are very few high-quality sources about Heisner but I think that in the far future, with the help of many editors, it could be published. I cannot promise that this article will not be deleted, but this could be a reasonable compromise if you stop moving this page back into the mainspace. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 00:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • after an editor moved it to mainspace, another eidtor tagged to be deleted
  • what would prevent that from happening again and again?
  • would it be again possible that I and others continue to work on it for many more months.
  • One or more editors approve to move it to the mainspace.
  • And then one editor tags it again for deletion?
Would your recommendation possibly be repeating that cycle? Bushido77 (talk) 01:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Leaning towards Draftify. There are several stories (primary sources) about the subject over many years in the local Western New York media. So he approaches notability, but isn’t obviously there. The problems are (1) there are zero secondary sources - as any librarian or legal scholar would define the term - and (2) it’s written very poorly, violating several major rules of The Elements of Style, almost to the point of deleting and starting over. If one of my students in my legal research and writing class at Bryant & Stratton College had written this, it would be covered in Red ink. I have reached out to an expert on this area, and need some time to research it. From a procedural standpoint, there are tendentious arguments to keep that, from my perspective, are weakening their position. If you don’t know the difference between primary and secondary sources, or how to write well, or how to argue in good faith, then perhaps you should not be editing an encyclopedia. Bearian (talk) 01:38, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your feedback. I have read the primary and secondary source article two times fully and partially a third time, and honestly I don't see how most of the links would qualify as primary. (There are some primary references added for specific reasons, such as demonstrating copyright ownership.) I will read the primary/secondary sources again.
    I will also review the elements of style page. Bushido77 (talk) 01:54, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I’ve tried to come up with an alternative to deletion, but the arguments to keep, keep getting worse. I reached out to former colleagues who are from the Niagara Falls area, and they have never heard of him. I tried to drop hints, but they were ignored. If you don’t understand what we are not, and you refuse to learn about basic research that a two-year college graduate would know, then I can’t fix it. I’ve saved over 120 articles over the years, and based on my experience and research, this is unsalvageable. Bearian (talk) 23:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He awarded the key to the city to Hironori Otsuka via Mayor E Dent Lackey. I have no idea who you know in Niagara Falls, NY but many people knew him.

It's perhaps because I am not an American, but what is the point of an endless list of Republican politicians who support the candidacy of the sole remaining Republican candidate for president? Isn't it completely trivial that the "Prosecutor of Macomb County", a Republican, supports Trump? Seems like excessive detail about an election which is very important and gets lots of attention (and articles), but where not every bit of completely predictable minutiae needs to be recorded for posterity on Wikipedia.

  • The latter has only had <3,400 views all time since 2018, the former <7,200, and none have ever topped over 100 views for a day. The only thing these articles prove is that a small group of political editors get all wound up about how important these pages are somehow, when they can't even get anywhere near the almost 150,000 views that America's lowest-rated cable news channel has received. This page is currently at 204 views all time; nothing would be lost if we just focused on endorsements the vast majority of the public actually listen to, from elected officials with interests in the results. A lot of light, but very little heat. Nate (chatter) 00:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Its a completly different discussion, you claimed that we "never included state assemblypersons ect." which is wrong. A discussion about the general inclusion of sub-national politicians should be hold as a RfC like @QuicoleJR said and not the random deletion of an article by people who didn't even participate in the discussion about how to handle these very long articles, where a consensus was reached Braganza (talk) 10:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • We already have so many of these articles, and a tradition of keeping them, that getting rid of these kinds of lists entirely would IMO require an RFC, since a mass AFD for every single list like this that we have would be way too large. Also, I agree that the list could probably be trimmed and merged, but I can't think of any way to do that other than going by the endorsements that reliable sources care about, since anything else would arguably be OR. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:31, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • We have a tradition of keeping them, but going by the numbers above who is actually reading them? We're at WP:ITSUSEFUL, but to whom exactly outside of terminally online Twitter users who think the mayor of Clearwater is the one who tips the race either way? Going by the above it really feels like the efforts made by the editors on these articles should be going elsewhere by a mile. Nate (chatter) 00:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I think it would be better to either have an RfC regarding endorsement lists or nominate every article like this at AfD instead of just one or two. Otherwise, there may arise a scenario where multiple consensuses form due to too many separate discussions.
Additionally, to address some comments, this list includes endorsements from Democrats along with Republicans. Yes, there are only a handful of Democrats that endorse Trump, but they exist. There are no Ward Captains listed or, more to the point, nothing with a similar theme so far as I see. Mayors are all notable as noted above and a quick check I did seem to have them be mayors of areas with a population of over 100,000 or more in the surrounding area, which does not seem to be a 'Run of the Mill' mayor. If this does get merged, I would suggest considering that it should go to the support section of the Trump 2024 campaign as that looks to be the main article for the lists. Finally, I do endorse removing the images from the article. --Super Goku V (talk) 19:10, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: While the people on this list may be notable in their own right (there are some red links), I don't see how most of their endorsements are notable. I don't think a Republican in a strongly Republican state endorsing the Republican presidential candidate is important or going to sway anything. Many of the sources used on here are local news or, worse, Twitter, which is used for 19 people. Though, I agree that there should probably be an RfC on these things and what should and should not be included in them. Wowzers122 (talk) 16:09, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Also as a reminder the article was created by splitting, so the article "has [not] gone this long" but was roughly of the size when i created it. I really don't understand your points here

Fails WP:NMUSICBIO, nearly all of the coverage that can be found in a WP:BEFORE search and on the article itself is articles about Dave Matthews Band, passing mentions, and primary interviews. Only standalone coverage is about a house fire, and that is insufficient as far as establishing independent notability.

List of stars and planets in fiction (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

We actually already had this discussion once before, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stars and planetary systems in fiction. This is a recreation of the list version of the article that was rejected at AfD in favour of covering the topic(s) in prose form. As such, it meets the spirit of WP:G4 even if not the letter (as the article itself technically wasn't deleted, just the entirety of the contents). The issues that led to the decision to scrap this version still apply, of course.

Keeping the article in its current state is a complete non-starter. It contains blatant WP:OR, improper use of primary sources, misrepresentations of sources, and outright WP:PLAGIARISM. As I said last time: It's not like we cannot have high-quality articles on topics like this—Mars in fiction, Venus in fiction, and Sun in fiction are all WP:Featured articles—but the bulk of the nearly 400 kB here consists of a TV Tropes-style list with absolutely atrocious sourcing. The article has become a dumping ground for garbage "In popular culture" content to keep it out of the articles on the stars themselves. Another way of putting it is that the article consists of an indiscriminate collection of WP:RAWDATA (the 2008 essay WP:CARGO explains rather well how and why this is a problem for articles like this), and doesn't even source it properly. Something needs to be done, because the current state of affairs is not acceptable (the article has already correctly been tagged with several maintenance tags, and there are many more that could be added—{{In popular culture}}, {{Primary sources}}, and {{More citations needed}} come to mind).

So what are our options here? Well, ordinarily I would suggest fixing the article, but of course we already did that once and don't need to do it all over again. What's more, when we look at the relevant sources—as I did six months ago—we find that this isn't even a topic, but rather several distinct but related ones. Hence, the former stars and planetary systems in fiction article was split extrasolar planets in fiction and stars in fiction. This is to say that we cannot fix this article without fundamentally turning it into something different.

Someone might propose WP:DRAFTIFYing this to bring it up to acceptable standards outside of mainspace; I would note that such an attempt was made a few years ago before being abandoned (see https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Draft:List_of_planetary_systems_in_fiction). In other words, it has been tried before and didn't work. Moreover, moving this to draftspace would do nothing to resolve the fundamental flaws with the article that are inherent in its design, such as combining what is per the sources different topics. An entirely different approach would be needed to turn this into any kind of proper article, and it would in the end not be a different version of this one but an entirely different article altogether.

We could perhaps redirect this somewhere, but it does not really seem like a plausible search term, and there is no reason to do so in order to WP:PRESERVE any content—even if there were anything worth preserving, it can already be found in the edit history for extrasolar planets in fiction.

In summary, keeping this in its current state is not a viable option (as it wasn't six months ago), it could not be improved to an acceptable state without fundamentally turning it into something entirely different, the process of improving it by turning it into something entirely different has already been undertaken and does not need to be repeated, and we would not even lose anything by deleting the article as its contents remain in the article history from which it was copied.

Pinging the participants of the previous AfD: @Piotrus, Randy Kryn, QuicoleJR, Rorshacma, Clarityfiend, Shooterwalker, Zxcvbnm, Cakelot1, and Herostratus:. TompaDompa (talk) 06:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was right to slice this material out of Extrasolar planets in fiction, so that could be an article on the subject. It should have been done by splitting the article, as the list has value on its own.
We can be pious about Wikipedia being for serious topics like this one, but this is a list of interest. We have, for good reason, articles on Mars in fiction, Venus in fiction etc: this is the same theme. It avoids endless articles like 'Alpha Centauri in fiction'.
There is relevance in noting that some star systems appear more often than others in science fiction: Alpha Ceti is famously used in Star Trek and may have inspired other writers to use it. Others flagged up by astronomers have as a result started appearing in fiction. If certain star systems pop up more frequently, that is of interest.
Trimming: when I recovered the list I consciously cut out the redlinks and the long footnotes with plot points and 'OR' observations. More of that can come out. References in fan fiction and online games are of little value in my opinion (but I may be a snob). Best guesses about where entirely fictional planets may be are best kept in an article on fictional planets. Where science fiction literature though chooses to use genuine stars as locations, it is worthy of note.

It is worthy of note IFF it is mentioned in independent sources. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. Having written the entirety of the roughly 8,000-word-long Mars in fiction WP:Featured article, I agree that we have such an article for good reason, and I believe I am in a unique position to comment upon it: the good reason that we do have such an article, which you'll note is a prose article and not an indiscriminate list of WP:RAWDATA examples absent meaningful context, is that there are high-quality sources on that topic, such as Robert Crossley [Wikidata]'s book Imagining Mars: A Literary History (2011). I have done the legwork of looking for sources on the topic of extrasolar planets in fiction as well as stars in fiction, and it turns out that sources (at least the ones I've discovered—feel free to point out any important ones I may have missed) don't really cover the topic of real stars appearing as locations in fiction in the way that would be required for an article like this one to be valid.
It's interesting that Alpha Centauri in fiction was chosen as an example, because that's one of only two stars for which I've been able to find sources discussing its specific depiction in fiction. The other one is Tau Ceti in fiction, and both of those are covered (briefly) at Stars in fiction#Real stars. Other than that, sources don't appear to be that interested in whether authors name a real star or not (and if they do, which one) in their stories—indeed, a 2024 article in the Journal of Science Communication about planets in science fiction found an absence of influence of whether or not the planet setting is in a real star system on other worldbuilding characteristics. Based on that, I would have to say that (barring the previously-mentioned exceptions) the assertion that Where science fiction literature though chooses to use genuine stars as locations, it is worthy of note. is, well, wrong.
I agree that the list needs trimming. Of course, trimming needs to be done based on the sources, not our own opinions on what is important and not (in other words it doesn't really matter whether References in fan fiction and online games are of little value in my opinion, what matter is whether the relevant sources find them to be of value or not). I did actually do that back in late 2021 (it's a long story), and the result was that almost every single entry ended up being removed. When we follow the sources, as we always must, what we end up with bears little to no resemlance to the present mess—it turns into Stars in fiction and Extrasolar planets in fiction. There is no benefit to keeping this article around with the intention of improving (or perhaps more accurately, fixing) it when we already have the post-improvement version at a different title.

  • Comment. Userfy in the space of editor who wants it to be kept and/or consider transwiki to WP:TVTROPES. This is fun and useful - but sadly, not very encyclopedic. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, just a list that was previously "deleted" (actually redirected) by a lot of reasons. 21 Andromedae (talk) 15:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think. Altho I'm a little confused... if it's just a content issue, can you not just roll it back to its stable version (which was written during/after the last AfD)? If the person edit wars, report him to the admin corps. The last AfD ended in "Keep, its OK now after WP:HEY", but the article was then deleted at some point? Cos this article was created just a few days ago. Then I am seeing an article Extrasolar planets in fiction. I'm not sure if these articles are overlapping some? It looks to me like they might be complementary? We're not running out of paper, why not have both, each fulfilling a different function?
Could somebody fill me in, otherwise its hard for me to decide well.
On the merits, well, there are all kinds of articles here. Most of them are merely descriptive (biographies, filmographies, etc) without any analysis, and will never be Good Articles, but that is fine, they are still worthwhile. And we have tons of list articles. I've written some, and of course the list is OR as I compiled it myself (if I hadn't, that would be plagiarism and copyvio). I'm just not seeing the claimed plagiarism, OR, improper use of primary sources (yes it is based on the primary source, but so are most of our "Plot" sections etc). Or any other claimed violations. Yeah it is very long. That just kind of proves that the subject is notable. If it was only three entries that would be cause to delete it maybe. I didn't find it all that hard to navigate, the menu is alphabetic... Somebody put a lot of work into it. I don't see the advantage of throwing it away.
Also, WP:ENCYCLOPEDIA says we include the functions special-interest encyclopedias. I can certainly see this is a section in Encyclopedia of Science Fiction or whatever. So it is perfectly encyclopedic in my view. Herostratus (talk) 06:08, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To fill you in: The last AfD resulted in a consensus that Stars and planetary systems in fiction should be kept because it was rewritten. That rewrite involved scrapping the entirety of the list contents (i.e. the contents of the article under discussion here) and replacing them with properly-sourced prose. Follow-up discussion on the talk page resulted in the article being split in two: Extrasolar planets in fiction and Stars in fiction. So roll[ing] it back to its stable version (which was written during/after the last AfD) would mean duplicating those articles.
On the merits: For WP:PLAGIARISM, you can compare entries cited to The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction to the cited entries there; there are several instances of blatant plagiarism. For WP:OR, we have among other things WP:ANALYSIS of the WP:PRIMARY sources, i.e. the works themselves, and analysis of trends in e.g. the "Proxima Centauri (Alpha Centauri C)" and "Ross catalog of stars" sections. For misuses of primary sources, see the previous comment about improperly analysing them, and additionally recall that we are supposed to not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.
As for special-interest encyclopedias: The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction specifically does not have anything resembling this (there is not even an entry about planets outside of the Solar System; different aspects thereof are covered separately in various entries instead). Nor do any other science-fiction encyclopedias to my knowledge—The Visual Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1977) does not, The Mammoth Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (2001) does not, The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy (2005) does not, Don D'Ammassa's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (2005) does not, Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia (2006) does not, Science Fiction Literature through History: An Encyclopedia (2021) does not, and so on. I am certainly in favour of covering science-fiction topics as science-fiction encyclopedias do (and I think my track record amply demonstrates this point), but what we have here just isn't that. As I said in the last AfD: compiling raw data about works of fiction is not Wikipedia's purpose, nor is analysing the same (it is, however, TV Tropes' and Wikia/Fandom's purpose). Compiling analysis about works of fiction made by others is, however. The latter approach has resulted in several WP:Featured articles: Mars in fiction, Venus in fiction, and Sun in fiction.

As much as I think Harrison's writing about Wikipedia is insightful, I simply don't think he passes WP:NJOURNALIST. He's not really been the subject of significant coverage. I don't think interviews or reviews of his books in student newspapers (Student Life) are sigcov. The Fix interview might be significant coverage, but I am unfamiliar with the publication. 1A is a podcast interview, which I don't think counts for notability. The Salon, Slate and HuffPost links are just to his journalism and obviously don't count. The New America link is the description of an event that Harrison was participating in, and I don't think its sigcov either. The WashU entry is a "look what one of our alumni is up to" post and therefore it's not independent or sigcov. The Yahoo interview is part of the Yahoo for Creators program, which has an unclear level of editorial control from Yahoo itself, and may be published with little editorial oversight like WP:FORBESCON, but I'm not sure, and I think its status as significant coverage is questionable.
