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 snow close. Kashima himself wants the article gone and at present I can find nothing to show that he would pass notability guidelines as a whole. I have no problems re-opening this if anyone wants it to run for a few days more, but the consensus seems to be solidly for deletion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:49, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yamato Kashima[edit]

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

This is a procedural nomination per WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE. The subject of the article blanked the article with the edit summary I am Yamato Kashima and I want this information off of wikipedia. In addition to nomination by procedure, I would also like to nominate this because I do not believe the subject satisfies WP:NSPORTS. Mz7 (talk) 23:56, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As of now, I have not restored the blanked content to the article, because none of the content is sourced with an inline citation, which is especially important since this article falls under WP:BLP. The original text can still be read by accessing the history. I will leave the restoring to the next editor. Mz7 (talk) 00:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't know if the request is as credible as I'd like, but the person is of doubtful notability. I don't see anything worthwhile on Google News, and a standard Google search results in mostly social networking sites. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:38, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm the original author. He (Yamato) was originally excited to have the article, but if he wants it removed we should honor his request. Mikepellerin^talk 01:54, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Passing mention [1]. Maybe he would be mentioned in a Personal Life section in the article of his more notable brother Sho Kashima (who has [2]), but I don't see separate notability for a separate article for Yamato as of now. That was not yet considering the removal request. 野狼院ひさし u/t/c 02:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC) Examiner.com sources blocked.[reply]
Delete - Google search reveals no significant coverage to meet WP:GNG. I suspect the topic of the article is of questionable notability. If Kashima himself requests the article be deleted, I see no problem in respecting his wishes. Thank you, --ceradon (talk • contribs) 06:14, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The article is an effort to improve the coverage of Egypt on Wikipedia. The subject is a well known diplomat in Cairo, like many other distinguished Egyptian diplomats.

It does not make any sense to accept articles on Wikipedia about some names of Miss Egypt pageant, who did not win any prizes for the country; and on the other hand delete articles of people who have –and still continue- to contribute with their work for the benefit of their country and community. If Miss Egypt is on Wikipedia because she has represented Egypt in a beauty contest, the diplomats have represented the country for many years. Politicians are known by their contributions in the political arena, locally, regionally and internationally. Like other articles, this one allows unregistered users to contribute by improving the work itself and tracking the progress as it is developed. The criteria must be applied for all. I would like to invite you (only 5 minutes of your time) to have a look on articles done under Category:Egyptian diplomats on Wikipedia. The only articles to pass with clear evidence are those belonging to the Ministers, UN members and holders of international or regional offices; many articles do not fall under the notability criterias (as ambassadorships are not considered international offices according to WP) WP:NPOLITICIAN. La petite chouchou (talk) 17:10, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete The article has no sources so it doesn't meet WP:GNG. It also has no indication of notability and nothing to show it is a notable martial art.

Japanese historical people in popular culture[edit]

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

This looks like someone's collection of "movie references to historical figures". I am placing this under WP:FANCRUFT, WP:NOTDIR, and WP:OR. If the culture is notable enough, then it should be included in the articles. Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:48, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletion discussions. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think the nom hits it on the head. Many of the people listed are notable in their own right, but this list consists of unsourced trivia consisting of appearances and not encyclopaedic information. Any information that can be sourced would be better served on the existing articles to place it in the proper context. SephyTheThird (talk) 23:19, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – I agree that the content is unsourced trivia. But the fact is that this stuff is often added to the "In popular culture" sections of main articles. This article was created by the late Dg2, as a destination for trivia in articles like Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen. That material has since been moved to People of the Sengoku period in popular culture, although editors keep adding more to the main articles. They are also adding trivia to articles like Himiko. I think this article should be kept as a move destination for trivia (mainly games) in main articles about figures from Japanese history. I am definitely opposed to moving it back into the main articles. As to how much of it can be sourced, none of it. But that's not going to stop editors from adding it again. If we have this article, at least it can be kept out of the main articles. – Margin1522 (talk) 01:52, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The obvious counter is that if it's not wanted in the main articles, why should it be wanted in an article with obvious issues that you agree exist. Keeping it simply to keep the information out of other articles doesn't sounds like a good reason to keep it and actually says to me that we should delete the article because it's a dumping ground of unwanted information. Some of the information is relevant to those articles, the issue is largely about presentation and sourcing. I would argue that historical figures being the subject of contemporary media to be of encyclopaedic interest on those articles, If anything it serves to illustrate why those figures are still of note in a modern context. Perhaps the issue is having people familiar with both the actual person as well as the fictional versions of them, but that's an issue for those pages and not the existence of this page. I would also strongly disagree that "none of it" can be sourced, much of it can't but certainly there is information that can. SephyTheThird (talk) 03:50, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like you are saying that this article is a triva dumping ground for all of the stuff that editors don't want to appear in articles. The notable information that appears in popular can be sourced and including it in the articles can help give them GA status as outside third party information. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Sorry, I don't want to be dismissive of manga or gaming culture, but for example this, from the Himiko article: "A clone of Himiko is a character in the manga series Afterschool Charisma, where she follows in her progenitor's footsteps as a shaman by leading a cult that worships the spirit of Dolly the clone sheep." That's actually typical. Himiko is popular as an empress about whom so little is known that popular authors can give free rein to their imagination. I suppose this could be sourced, but only if we were willing to settle for manga itself. Per WP:"In popular culture" content, I think this entire list of manga and game stuff should be spun off into a separate article, like this one. I'm not saying that it's not encyclopedic, only that it doesn't improve the main article, which should be about the historical person. – Margin1522 (talk) 06:47, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree when you say articles should be just about the historical person, it is always good to include a legacy like section with in popular culture if it be by notable books or whatnot. Notability is the key word here, if editors want to build a trivial list of who's who that appears where then there is wikia for that. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 22:10, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (OK, I am an inclusionist, but not a keepist) Perhaps the title should be changed to "List of...", and the entries should be trimmed. I see the "trivia" problem with the content, but sometimes lists are really useful sources of overview information, which cannot easily be obtained by searching individual articles. So deleting it does not seem constructive to me. Imaginatorium (talk) 04:45, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. From the nomination: This looks like someone's collection of "movie references to historical figures". It doesn't look to me like that. Where are the (non-animation) movie portrayals (let alone "references")? Are movies no longer regarded as popular culture? As a ferinstance, Utamaro and His Five Women purports to be about (and doesn't just refer to) Utamaro. No mention of it, or anything like it. What do I misunderstand? -- Hoary (talk) 06:22, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Surely, this ("serious"!) film is not in the list, because of the "fancruft" tendency. But I think the answer to this problem is not to (try to) remove anything with a whiff of fancruft, but rather to fill out the list with good stuff like Mizoguchi's film. Imaginatorium (talk) 07:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In principle, yes. But then this would be enormous. Still, I suppose that it could thereupon spin off sub-articles. -- Hoary (talk) 09:55, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable indiscriminate info (the only inclusion criteria is a self-evident primary source), whether as a list or article (as a list it would likely fail WP:LISTN). There are also subjectivity issues involved in what equals historic. Every culture has historical figures, real or fictional, that re-occur in various media (think Abraham Lincoln, Blackbeard, Johnny Appleseed, Moses...). There is no indication that historical Japanese figures being referenced in modern culture is by itself a notable entity per WP:GNG, it just happens. If there are no significant reliable sources that discuss what it means to have Minamoto no Yoshitsune in a video game, then this is fancruft and/or WP:OR. --Animalparty-- (talk) 02:00, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But... jeez some editors put an awful lot of work into this. In fact that guy who started it is dead. You hate to toss all that away. Especially if, per Margin1522, it's just gonna get created again... I don't know if there's any force on earth that can stop people from writing about Japanese cartoons, so maybe per Margin1522 we should channel it into this article... Herostratus (talk) 14:30, 25 February 2015 (UTC) And the person who made the article, Fg2, was a Ph.D. and was fluent in Japanese and English and looks to have been a pretty smart cookie and well-regarded generally. I'm not really inclined to second-guess him that much. Keep. Herostratus (talk) 14:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My condolences to the author but as it stands you have not provided reasoning that trumps the policy concerns raised. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 19:19, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I agree with Knowledgekid that this article is essentially a dumping ground for unwanted pop culture trivia. This is sadly not a coherent article about Japanese historical people in pop culture, and there is no way to write a generalized article about all the different Japanese people spanning the length of Japanese history (unlike Joan of Arc in popular culture). As such, it cannot be more than a list, and most of it is unsourced anyways so why not just nuke it. About the "people will just add it back" point, we have a similar problem for articles about the Three Kingdoms period of China; how we deal with it is to try and keep the sourced and significant pop culture information in the main article and present it in prose form while removing the rest. The solution is maintenance, not trying to sweep it under the carpet creating a giant unwanted mothball. _dk (talk) 23:52, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is clearly an indiscriminate list, as the definition of "historical" is entirely subjective. Popular culture references or appearances can easily be added to the relevant biography articles, but there is no need to make an infinitely long list here. --DAJF (talk) 06:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Initially I was going to suggest merging this into the main article for the Reds, but a search did bring up evidence of notability. It looks like they were recently given an exhibit at the CR Hall of Fame, which is a pretty big sign of notability, and I've found where they're mentioned in a few books as well and they've had a ton of local coverage. I know that local sources are depreciated by most editors, but they've gotten heavy and consistent coverage each year by Cincinnati Magazine, beyond the level that just anyone would get for a normal business or event. (In other words, it's not just routine coverage of local stuff.) I'm still digging for sources, but so far they do appear to pass notability guidelines.

Septemism[edit]

Article discusses the ideas exposed in a single book, Reclaim - The Septemist Manifesto, for which I haven't been able to find any sources that were not book sellers or self-published sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I listened to a seminar on this today at my university. It seems this article was written just after that. Of course that seminar is not online. However, I haven't heard of the subject before. I got home and googled it. Found this page. So, according to me the article shouldn't be deleted. It is probably a quite small subject, but it is still relevant. Me and some other students at least found the seminar quite interesting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sundance7 (talk • contribs)

Sundance7, I find this potentially interesting too, which is why I went looking for sources at all. But all articles on Wikipedia need reliable, third-party sources, and if those are not available, we can't have an article. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 20:42, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I checked out the sources of the book previously mentioned, and thus I could add a few sources apparently used in the book. However, I am new to Wikipedia. So I have to excuse myself id I edited the article in ways which are not standard. In any case, I tried my best. As I said, just found this interesting so wanted to contribute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sundance7 (talk • contribs) 14:08, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your edit, because it added an original synthesis to the article. The point is not that the book described in the article is not properly sourced or wrong or whatever — it's that no third-party sources critically can be found that assess "Septemism" so that we can write an encyclopedic overview that is not just a book summary. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 19:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think there is a notable movement or ideology here that can justify the article title. I am not seeing hits for it in Google News, Books or Scholar apart from a tiny bit of noise (including an Islamic astrological cult of the same name). The book would be a possible alternative subject but I don't see hits for that either. I'd expect to see reviews and the like from RS sources but I don't. Add to that the massive conflict of interests and I see no hope for the article although I do sympathise with Sundance7. You can't blame students for thinking that their University would give them seminars on notable topics. I wonder whether one of the profs has been a bit naughty and is promoting their own pet theory. OTOH, maybe this is a new and genuinely emerging subject that will become more notable later.

Delete as WP:TOOSOON. While universities can (and should) present all manner of new ideas, the lagging notability indicator of Wikipedia means we should not have an encyclopedia article on those ideas until they meet the WP:GNG, at the risk of unduly promoting or elevating a WP:FRINGE subject that is of interest to an extreme minority. Septemism might eventually become an established theory (I'm still not quite sure what it is), or be laughed out of existence, or forever be the pet theory of a Mr. Carl Grip. Since we can't cite lecture notes, delete for now, with no prejudice towards recreation should multiple secondary sources arise. --Animalparty-- (talk) 02:21, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is brand new, give it a chance to develop. It is tiring to see an article we know nothing about being nominated for deletion the same day it is created.

Unremarkable company. The year of founding is inconsistent: the infobox says it was founded in 1998, but the article claims it was founded in 2015. A search mainly results in false positives for a completely unrelated stroller called the MetroLite. Possible COI issues as well, as the article's creator appears to be the company's founder. Ineligible for G11 because it's not promotional, and ineligible for A7 since there are some references in the article; however, said references are all affiliated (press releases or otherwise non-third party).

Groove synthesis[edit]

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

Nominating these two articles, groove synthesis and groove halogenization, because I'm unable to substantiate the use of these names for the chemical reaction the articles describe. The reaction itself is real, but neither term has any relevant Google hits (nor does the more standard "halogenation"). I did find some hits for "Groove's process", but almost exclusively on Indian (mostly IIT-related) homework-help sites, with a couple of hits from Indian chemistry textbooks where the Google Books preview doesn't explicitly define the term (e.g. here). No similar term is mentioned in fairly comprehensive basic organic synthesis references like Carey and Sundberg.

We already have the reaction documented at Haloalkane#From_alcohols. I would support a redirect to that target with some evidence that these are common names, but what I can find in English is so sparse that making the connection would essentially be original research.

Delete both. While the chemical reaction described is certainly known (and already appropriately mentioned at Haloalkane#From_alcohols, as mentioned above) I am also unable to verify in any reliable source these names for the reactions.

Keep - In 2013, a lot of the work of the former E F Schumacher Society was spun off to a new entity. It has done much work since 1981. The new New Economic Coalition does indeed host conferences among other things. An organization may become notable for its publications, but lack of publications does not mean it is not notable. Also note that there are publications of members listed on the website. Additionally, the conferences have been attended by notable organizations.Jonpatterns (talk) 12:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - there are a lot of self-published sources and articles that don't mention the group by name in the article. I having trouble seeing the RS coverage that confers notability, although it may exist (a preliminary search turned up some possibilities, but nothing slam-dunk). Where are the reliable sources that are independent of the subject and cover it in depth? Undecided on notability at this time.

Wikipedia's notability rules for media do not confer an automatic presumption of notability on unlicensed community television stations. Neither CRTC licensing records nor the Canadian Communications Foundation contain any documented evidence of this station's existence, thus raising the distinct possibility that this might be an outright hoax, and there's not a shred of reliable source coverage locatable to disprove that. Further, the article was created by User:CHTYTV, making this a conflict of interest even if it was a real television station. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 00:58, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Despite its size, Hoboken punches far above its weight, drawing a disproportionate level of coverage from New York City and New Jersey newspapers, as evidenced here and in the article for the present mayor, Dawn Zimmer. The nominator appears to have prejudged this AfD based on the city's size and has made no mention or taken any consideration of the availability of reliable and verifiable sources or of alternative solutions as explicitly required by WP:BEFORE.

Delete and redirect to Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey. He does not meet notability as a physician by extension from wp:prof. As a politician, he seems to be lacking independent coverage of his political importance (as required by wp:NPOL #3 for local politicians) as shown by the fact that the only verifiable references to him are from journals for physicians, which tend to inflate the importance of physicians. As @user:alansohn argues, hoboken punches above its weight in importance to NYC and new jersey press, so if the subject were important as a politician there should be more mention of him in that roll. BakerStMD T|C 17:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies GNG. I think that being a mayor and brigade surgeon, and being responsible for the establishment of a county health board, and so forth, is sufficient for a person who died in 1892. I suspect that BIO was written with BLPs in mind, so I doubt its relevance. Physicians are not academics, so I don't see PROF as relevant. I think that a journal for physicians is a perfectly satisfactory source, and in any event, not all of the sources are such journals, as, for example, one seems to be a biographical dictionary, and another a history book. (Both available to read in Archive.org, so they are verifiable). James500 (talk) 01:37, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment While user:James500 is right that physicians are not always academics, we don't have a policy on the notability of physicians because physicians are generally not notable unless they are academics or hold some other notable roll. In the case of the subject of this AFD, he might be notable for his military roll (as a brigade surgeon) rather than as an academic, but wp:SOLDIER makes it clear that he does not rise to that standard either. BakerStMD T|C 15:36, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the principle thrust of my argument (apart from GNG) is that these SNG are obviously innappropriate for historical figures. If we were to go back to the time of the Roman Empire, for example, even a slave would likely be notable if we had substantial information about him, due to the relative paucity of information from that period. Historical importance increases with time. It is not just a question of setting a single bar for politicians etc of all periods. They can't be judged by the same standards. James500 (talk) 18:24, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@user:James500, thats a fair point. Is there a set of guidelines for addressing this issue? I'm sure some wise users have explored this before us. I would agree that a physician in the Roman Empire would be notable if we had enough information about him or her, but the same probably is not true for a physician practicing during the Bush administration.

Strong keep -- I took a lot of time and effort doing research to cover what I feel is my area of responsibility (i.e. the history of Norwalk, Connecticut). The city of Norwalk is of a sufficient size that its mayors would qualify as notable.

(See GeneologyBank, or the library of Juneau has microfilm archives.) I'm less optimistic about whether copies/records of the Juneau Journal from 1902 remain, but that's not impossible either. I beleive the presence of two newspapers based in Juneau at the time are indicative of a Juneau being a regional center whose in-town population size doesn't represent its importance (or available coverage) well--it became Alaska's capital only four years later. --j⚛e decker ^talk 14:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dianne M. Keller[edit]

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

Keller was interviewed in one or two national media outlets and on the Daily Show when Sarah Palin was a candidate for vice president. However, all the actual coverage of Keller's role comes from local newspapers. None of this seems to rise to the level of coverage suggested for local politicans in the notability guidelines for politicians. Past debates have had many people claiming Keller meets the notability requirements for such, but few explaining why. Being interviewed on the Daily Show does not make a person notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:44, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Redirect to Mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey. The arguments here (as opposed to simple votes) are for deletion (nom and Natg 19), redirect, and keep/merge. There is also one opinion in favour of keeping. None of the arguments for deletion deal with the possibility of redirecting to an article where the subject is already covered. Given that the majority of the content is already at the article on the mayor role, a redirect seems a reasonable outcome - should there be anything considered worth merging it's there in the article history.

Michela Balducci[edit]

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

The only reference is a bio link on what appears to be a user-entered page Walkabout14 (talk) 18:26, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She is a professional cyclist on the UCI team S.C. Michela Fanini Rox. The UCI Women's Teams are the top-level teams of female cycling. She rode in the 2014 Giro d'Italia Femminile ("the only remaining women's Grand Tour and the most prestigious stage race on the 2014 women's road cycling calendar)". Pro Cycling Stats shows several other races she's competed in and I suspect there's plenty of coverage here if that's not enough (IE WP:BEFORE). And to be pedantic, all sports result sites are "user-entered page(s)". Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 18:34, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't grasp why she is notable. I am new to Wiki but the news links seem to be in languages other than English and I thought that English sources were required for English Wikipedia. Finally, aren't all the user-entered sport sites equivalent to IMDB for movies? I understand that IMDB is not an acceptable reference either. Walkabout14 (talk) 19:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No, sources in any language are acceptable as soon as they are reliable. English sources are not required.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:19, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Having found WP:NCYCLING, I believe that the guidance there would indicate that this rider, along with many others on wikipedia, does not meet notability standards. Basically, cyclists should win or make the podium in an UCI event. Walkabout14 (talk) 23:17, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG beats WP:NCYC. She's taken part in several top-level UCI events. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 09:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I really do understand this nomination. This is a boarderline women cyclist case, and to dat if she is notable enough you need to know a bit more about Women's road Cycling, with the question arising is it about media coverage or about importantce within the sport. I'll explain this. For men cyclists it is notable enough to have an own article when a cyclist had competed in the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia or the Vuelta as being the most important stage races. The only equivalent for women is as mentioned by Lugnuts the Giro d'Italia Femminile, the Women's version of the Giro d'Italia. The main difference is that it receives much less media attention, as is the case with Women's Cycling in general, which in my opinion is not fair. But Women's Cycling is beloning much more an more popular every year. So my point is, for Women's Cycling she is important enough to have an own article altough she hasn't been me mentioned much in the media. There are more examples of cyclists who has its own article with even less media coverage but are notable because they competed at the UCI Road World Championships. Sander.v.Ginkel ^{(Je suis Charlie)} 11:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the points raised above by Sanderl, lower threshold of requirement for notability due to less coverage, fewer races etc. XyZAn (talk) 18:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't meet WP:NCYCLING nor WP:GNG. Sources above are only mentions. The sources cited above such as this list of links here -- none points to in-depth treatment of Michela Balducci (but rather to other Michelas). My sweeps of Italy-related news, sports-related news, international news, did not find in-depth independent reliable sources which talked about why this person is notable. Another search is using her name combined with this cycling news site and only turned up mentions, like she came in 36th in such and such a race. That there are other cyclists with less coverage who have articles in Wikipedia is not a reason to include this one.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC) Changing to Weak delete based on new reference added here by Ymblanter.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 19:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this should be agreed in the next week or so. Worst case is this is closed as delete, the guidance updated, and I recreate the article about 1 second after the guidance is updated. Walkabout14 - would you be happy to withdraw this on the as the guidance is being updated, with no issue of it being re-nominated if there is no consensus to publish it to WP:NCYC? Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 09:15, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree to withdraw @Lugnuts: If the cycling community is going to re-write the notability guidelines, then I'll wait for the outcome of the discussion. But if all you can write about an individual is their birthdate and the fact they are on a racing team, it sounds like a list item, not an encyclopedia entry. I understand Sander.v.Ginkel's points on the relative lack of coverage for female cyclists but that still doesn't mean that individuals that haven't had a podium finish are notable, whether they are male or female.
