for as long as this group as been around, I'm not seeing any sort of coverage of it Prisencolin (talk) 23:07, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. To see "any sort" of coverage about this orchestra we simply need to click on the words "news", "books" and "scholar" above. One example among hundreds is this review of a book about the orchestra. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 08:40, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG. Only sources are a web page for the group and one for one of the condos. No coverage from independent reliable sources. The author could not find any independent references either but claims notability is established because of its size (4 condo developments with over 1000 residents).

Non-notable SS captain; significant RS coverage cannot be found in Google books; what comes up is by neo-Nazi author Patrick Agte; Waffen-SS apologist Kurt Meyer and other Waffen-SS admirers, such as Marc Rikmenspoel.

The topic of the notability of Knight's Cross winners has been extensively discussed here: Notability in Knight's Cross Holder Articles; the summary in this subsection (Part 3). There's currently no consensus whether a single award of the Knight's Cross meets WP:SOLDIER #1, given that many were not awarded for valour and that too many were awarded overall (over 7,000). This article is part of about 500 similar articles created by editor Jim Sweeney in late 2008. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:37, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep until consensus has been achieved one way or another about whether or not the KC meets the notability criteria. Deletion of valid KC winner articles for which other sourcing cannot be found is premature until that has happened.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:37, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I don't believe the above to be a valid argument in a deletion discussion as WP:SOLDIER (which is a project-specific essay) does not trump WP:GNG, which still needs to be demonstrated via significant RS coverage. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:46, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Thomas & Wegmann's multi-volume series on KC recipients will have a page or two on this chap. Add that to other sources and he will meet GNG. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:19, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Peterkingiron. Additionally, current sources appear to be listings of individuals who received the Knights Cross during the time period. They appear to be out of print and could not find a scan of them, but unless anyone has greater knowledge, I'm assuming they are obits/short bios of people awarded the Knights Cross. I don't think this meets the criteria of WP:GNG and unless someone can provide more context to the sources, I think deleting is the best option. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Authors such as Dörr, Thomas and Wegmann provide a detailed coverage of the military career based on the military records of the German National Archives. This information includes trainings, units assigned to and commands held and date of promotions and other awards presented. In many instances, if this information was not lost, they also state who, for what actions, and who approved the nomination of the KC.
This does not sound like "significant coverage" to me; this is still BLP1E situation and a brief bio, using which would result in a WP:PSEUDO biography.
Separately, I've seen Thomas and Wegmann used in dozens of articles to cite various awards, but I don't recall seeing them cited for biographical data. See, for example: Clemens-Heinrich Graf von Kageneck or Felix Adamowitsch. Collection of materials by Charles Hamilton's Leaders and Personalities of the Third Reich does include information on low-ranking soldiers; see for example this edit on the Heinrich Debus article.
So stating that Thomas & Wegmann will have this coverage is an insufficient argument in this discussion, as the source has not been produced and the extent of biographical data is unknown. Similar to TonyBallioni, I do not believe that, even if the Thomas & Wegmann entry was produced, it would be sufficient to meet GNG. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:12, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the context. This confirms my opinion above. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:13, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - from the discussion mentioned above - "it’s possible to meet WP:SOLDIER#1 ("Were awarded their nation’s highest award for valour") and yet not meet notability requirements." I agree wholeheartedly with that statement; this soldier does not meet notability requirements. CrispyGlover (talk) 17:39, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete clearly non-notable captain in the SS.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:08, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Having voted in analogous cases before, I feel the same way about this article here. Merely winning the aforementioned award doesn't inherently convey reasonable notability. It also pains me to see this page referring to the odious Kurt Meyer as some kind of reliable source. Deletion is the right move. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 08:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe the subject meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability. Certainly it does not cite any IRS's. It is a hard name to search for, however.

Declaration of potential COI: I am a former director, and very much an active member, of another company managing venues at the Fringe, Paradise Green. However this nomination is made with my Wikipedia hat on.
Wikipedia does not have an article on Paradise venues, and I believe that this is correct. Both C Venues and Paradise Green are mentioned in Edinburgh Festival Fringe, appropriately in my view. ColinFine (talk) 22:34, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This cheese is only made by one company (which is the only link on the article) and a quick check on google reveals it is not notable as it has coverage only from the businesses it supplies. ツStacey (talk) 21:19, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep As a single producer cheese which hasn't been made for a few years, this is not an important article. However some rudimentary web searching shows that the online cheese press (yes, it turns out that's a thing) discussed it and reviewed it substantially enough to meet our WP:N standards. We judge notability on the basis of attention paid, not the inherent significance of it. This is one of the somewhat surprising cases that result. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:03, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Andy Dingley can you please add that as a reference to the article. If this article is going to be kept I hope we can improve it to have more information and references.

  • Keep - This award winning cheese,[[3]] one of the most expensive in America[[4]] and favourite of Mark Hix[[5]], probably deserves an article.--Ykraps (talk) 16:53, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I added two of Ykraps' cites to the article and changed it to read in the past tense, since the cheese is no longer made by it principal producer, Denhay, which continues to make other cheeses and bacon. Interesting note in one reference (The Cheeseboard, which I suppose is part of Andy Dingley's "cheese press"), that there is an export cheese being sold under the Dorset Drum name, but it is reportedly not the same cheese. That might explain why a cheese of that name seems to be available through igourmet.com, Ykrap's 3rd citation. I didn't add that reference as it seems to be an online retailer and not a reliable source. Since notability is not temporary, the fact that the producer ceased making the cheese and that the stocks of maturing cheese were nearing exhaustion in 2013 is not determinate for purposes of this debate. There is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. Geoff | Who, me? 17:44, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion was contested by its subject, previous rationale was "WP:TNT. Yes, this article contains indications of notability. However, the article is so unencyclopedically written that it just reads like a list of appointments, most of which are trivial (owing, admittedly, to it being legally copied from a public domain source). I say we blow this up and start again." Launchballer 19:37, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep since the article mentions he was part of the 1948 Olympic team. Now, the only thing is that we need a source, but I have asked the author about this as we speak. SwisterTwister talk 20:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per SwisterTwister (I never thought I'd get to say those words). The source in the article confirms the Olympic participation, and plenty more evidence of notability is found by the Google Books search linked in the nomination statement. If the nominator wants to blow this up and start again then he can do so without us having to delete the article first. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:34, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow. I agree that the current wall of text is nearly unreadable and resume-like. On the other hand, Dr. del Junco has been a well-known figure in Republican politics for decades, among other things the 2 time chair of the California GOP, in which role he was in the news often, as one may see by searching his name at, for example, latimes.com or sfgate.com. He was controversial enough at one point that, in an unprecedented action, the majority-Democratic state senate voted him out of his spot as chair of the state Board of Regents. [6][7] (And his Olympics appearance is notability gravy.) I suggest creating a lead that clearly states his notability as a political figure, and then the rest can be winnowed down in a more readable text (including a more concise summary of his extensive and admirable but perhaps not Wiki-notable medical credentials). --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:37, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is 100% clear that Junco is a significant historic figure. One of the books on google books seems to suggest he may have had important imput on Reagan's Cuban policy. His two terms as chair of the California Republic Party, his being a key voice for Prop 209, his 12 years on the University of California board of Regents, including 14 months as board chair, there make him notable. If you look through google books you will see mentions of his time with the US postal office. He is clearly notable for his roles in California. I have tried to improve the readability of the article, but admit that it has a long way to go.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:53, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - If analysis is needed, tI will then mention that the sources themselves are all essentially PR (being a notable news source alone is not a claim of notability) and then also consist of interviews, which essentially in turn become PR.

  • Keep a wrestler or a team does not actually have to win a championship to be considered notable. That's only one possible way to achieve notability. The team has received a consistent amount of ongoing coverage for most of the year, definitely a notable team. Ranze (talk) 01:10, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. While the article might leave great room for improvement, this team was the subject of a WWE storyline (the formation) that lasted for months and appeared on various shows, including pay-per-views. That many were bothered by the storyline and the resulting team basically amounts to a comedy act and hasn't and probably will not win any championships is beside the point. Str1977 (talk) 14:45, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Str1977: Kingston and Truth were a more notable tag team the Golden Truth, holding the tag team titles about 140 days. Kingston and Truth were involved in various feuds, defending their titles, recovering ongoing coverage. But, Kingston and Truth don't have an article. Golden Truth on the other hand are simply not notable. Never won a title and rarely finds success. The team is very much comparable to The Social Outcasts. Sekyaw (talk) 06:20, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That such an article doesn't exist doesn't mean it shouldn't exist nor that this article shouldn't exisr. The existence of a team name, while not deciding in of itself, also gives the duo a more team-like feeling. Social Otcasts were not a team but a stable and again: the pros and cons of that case dp not determine this case. See WP:OTHER. Str1977 (talk) 19:14, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I found this through the academics deletion sorting page but he's primarily an industry consultant, not an academic, and I don't think he passes WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. The more appropriate notability standard is WP:GNG, but that requires multiple in-depth independent sources about the subject rather than publications by the subject or stories that briefly quote him as an expert. The only one we have about that is the reputation-communications interview from the external links, but that looks highly promotional, unsuitable as a reference, and in any case it's only one. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:30, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hui martial arts[edit]

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

The article is misleading. The name suggests that there'd be a thing called "Hui martial arts" - just like there are Chinese martial arts - but in reality, there isn't. Instead, the article is a largely unreferenced mishmash of various Chinese martial arts with a few famous Hui practitioners. For example, the following sentence (with probably the only references in the article) goes: "Famous Hui practitioners of Piguaquan today include Ma Xianda", then followed by 16 references. We sure could try renaming the article "Chinese martial arts with some famous Hui practitioners", but I don't think that would be wise.

The article was created at 26 October, 2006. Ever since February 2007 the article has been tagged with a {{Refimprove}} template, and since June 2011 with a {{Synthesis}} template. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Wow. Looking at Template:Superhero toy lines just makes one wonder how much fan-cruft like this we need to prune. This kind of stuff belongs on a toy wikia or such, but WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. I can totally see how such a list would be useful to somebody, but WP:ITSUSEFUL is not what Wikipedia is about. Again, I hope we can find a wikia somewhere where such articles could be moved. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:32, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's quite a tidy, informative article, certainly not subject to the excesses of some. Hiding T 15:01, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional article. Created as part of an apparent promotional cluster.

I concur, this is actually entirely PR with not only the information focusing with what only clients and investors would want to know, but the sources are symmetrical with PR also; none of it is amounting to both substance and non-PR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwisterTwister (talkcontribs) 19:52, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If Leica's being Miss Michigan USA was even marginally notable we would have an article from the Detroit News or Detroit Free Press on her, not that such an article would neccesarily demonstrate notability. However the total lack of such articles shows that she is totally and completely unnotable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 08:20, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Brown is not notable. She is Miss Georgia USA, but this is not enough to pass notability. In the previous discussion it was claimed 5 of the articles were not related to her beauty pageant crown.

  • Comment The reason we should not follow the December 2015 precedent was actually explained in the nomination. I have no idea why I put Georgia when I knew this was Alabama. I knew one of the papers was from Huntsville, which I know is in Alabama. However the fact is that they were articles related to the pageant. For state pageant winners we should require sources that cover the person without any regard to their winning a state pageant.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:11, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Donaldson is a former Miss Florida USA, but this on its own is not enough to make her notable. Donaldson's career in journalism is just not at a level to make her notable. The article is a horrible example of coatracking, which is one reason to avoid articles on unnotable people. Half the article goes into allegations against her non-notable then boyfriend. It is possibly a violation of biography of living people guidelines, since such guidelines apply to defamatory material against non-subjects as well as subjects. Wikipedia's purpose is not to right great wrongs, which means that Wikipedia articles are not the place to carry out diatribes against those accused of domestic abuse.

  • Neutral (see below) I definitely agree with SwisterTwister's comments, as March 2015 was quite awhile back. Also, @Shawn in Montreal:, please keep in mind that MANY restaurant chains are not really notable. Please see WP:NOTABILITY for these guidelines. The article seems to have way too many primary sources such as this for there to be any sort of notability for the inclusion of the encyclopedia, at least from what I'm seeing... Regards— MeowMoon (talk) 22:17, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • I daresay know our notability guidelines a darn sight better than you. this and this, to name but two, are from Canada's two largest circulation newspapers, the national Globe and Mail and Toronto's broadsheet Toronto Star. You understand? And secondly, you've just added this Afd a second time to the Food and drink and companies delsort. I don't give a WP:FUCK what happens, but this ridiculous. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:48, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Shawn in Montreal: Sorry. I didn't mean to use delsort a second time (another user had apparently already done it). I just added the script and am very new with it, my bad. But being uncivil is not needed here. Going back to what I said earlier, I was mainly concerned with the sources that the article provided, not with the ones that were or were not notable. After some research though, I did come up with a number of different sources that I did not see in the article when I initially posted my first comment above, so there is probably a good amount of merit to the notability of the article... On a different note though, I would like to get DGG's opinion on the matter since they initially nominated the article for deletion. I'm not sure what they saw (or didn't see, rather...) in the article that would classify as having "unreliable sources for notability" (or which sources were unreliable for notability). I have changed my vote to neutral for now, in pending DGG's response. MeowMoon (talk) 01:07, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop pinging me. If I want to respond I will. As for "DGG's response," he's a regular fixture at Afd and I don't think I've ever seen modify his position, no matter how untenable or removed from policy. So I wouldn't hold my breath for that. You are going to have to make your own mind up and again -- I don't really care. Please stop pinging me. Thanks very much. Shawn in Montreal (talk)
advertorials at best, even if published in major newspapers, DGG ( talk ) 05:22, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See? Utter and complete nonsense. They are major bylined stories on a Canadian corporation in the business section, which is exactly where one would expect to find it. Also, words like "advertorial" have a meaning beyond what you concoct for them. In the case of the G&M, they have controversially proposed to start doing bona fide "advertorial" articles, as described in this 2014 Marketing piece. But as you would expect, for a national paper of record such as the G&M, such items are clearly branded "sponsored content," which is not the case of course for Maryam Siddiqi's 2014 G&M piece. As for the Star, they offer a list of sponsored advertorial content, which does not seem to include their coverage of corporate Canada in their business section, unsurprisingly. I offer this detailed rebuttal to your weak "advertorial" hand wave not so much in the hopes that you will retract it or change your mind, but that apparently at least one other editor seems to be deferring to you for some reason. thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:48, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (weak) [Strike delete, please see below] Original comment: TOOSOON. The coverage I'm seeing is mostly local about restaurants openings and the like.

Stofferahn has multiple points, but none of them pass notability guidelines, and none of the coverage of her does either. She was Miss Dakota USA, but as is becoming clear from the discussion at the RFC on creation of consensus standard that alone is not enough to be notable, and may lead to a proactive assumption of non-notable unless another point is brought up. That is to say, we may not be willing to keep any article on a state beauty pageant winner unless we have coverage in reliable secondary third party sources that cover them without regard to being a beauty pageant winner. Beyond this, Stofferahn is the child of a former member of the North Dakota State legislature. I created an article on her clearly passing inclusion guidelines father, but that has no bearing on her notability. She worked as an intern for a US senator. That is not enough to make one notable. She was a candidate for the state legislature. It is not clear from the article if she even won the primary, but it is clear she was not elected. Unelected candidates at this level are not notable. So in total, Stofferahn is not notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:45, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Her one claim to notability is being Miss Wyoming USA, but that is not enough on its own to make someone notable.

Porterfield was for a short time Miss Wisconsin USA, this alone is not enough to make someone notable. Her resignation after being charged with identity theft is not really enough to justify a stand alone article, the mention in the Miss Wisconsin USA page is sufficient. The fact that we do not even know if she plead guilt, was convicted or was aquitted of charges that are about 5 years old shows that this was not a significant event and not worth having a Wikipedia article that gives in depth details on.

When has any Invest articles been discussed as being allowed to made? This is just a pointless page and also that invests are just disturbances with no significant media coverage, except by NHC and weather sites MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 01:59, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whereas this is very true, Invest 99L is different. It brought about much controversy among the weather community, and a huge difference between the GFS and ECMWF models. This is a disturbance with very significant media coverage, especially on The Weather Channel because of the nature of the storm and the way the two main models are so different. Back to media coverage, right now if you type Invest 99L into google; The Weather Channel (and Weather Underground), KATC, WKRG, WFLA, Brevard Times, WBRZ, WTSB, Fox 4, and NBC 2 all show up on the first page. This is more coverage than most storms get alone. INFOWeather1 (talk/contribs) 02:13, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The models are all over the place because it doesn't have a closed center to which the models can latch onto, that's why it's getting this coverage. Plus, there are many tropical storms/hurricanes that didn't get an article yet were covered largely by the media. I don't see why Invest 99L should be exempt from this statement. Therefore, the article is redundant. --MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 02:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By our long-standing rule for political spouses, will not be notable unless her husband wins the election for President-- or unless she does something notable in her own right. DGG ( talk ) 00:27, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • A perfectly reasonable assumption, however WP:INHERIT makes it clear that an article can exist "even if they are known solely for such a relationship". This covers individuals like Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio - she has no career except being a politician's wife, and Michael Haley (South Carolina), who has a job about which there would be no coverage if his wife wasn't Governor. The standard for keeping is GNG. The point is having a guideline is that when a spouse accumulates enough profiles, interviews, coverage to pass GNG, s/he passes, even though they have no notability aside from the relationship to a notable politician (this also applies to other close personal relationships - Tiffany Trump, perhaps even a valet or a nanny, provided multiple reliable publications write him/her up.
  • In this case, I decided to keep the article extremely brief for now. I could add banal material from many publications over the several years that they have been a couple - the coverage is both geographically extensive, and has been going on for a number of years. Frankly, I would prefer to leave this brief for now, but available to expansion if stuff happens (like coverage of something in her past; significant participation in the campaign, or, you know, they move into the White House.
  • As I explained on this article's talk page when I created the article this morning, during a campaign users expect articles on candidate spouses, and, therefore, they existed this year for spouses of all of the serious candidates in the Democratic and Republican Presidential primaries.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:58, 26 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per WP:INHERIT: "notability is usually neither inherited nor inherent". She was not the first lady of New Mexico (if somebody wants to create an article about Dee Simms, I would think that article would survive). She's just dating somebody who is currently polling at around 10% in the United States presidential elections, 2016. Although that's an impressive feat for a 3rd party candidate, their dates are not notable. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 13:30, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Notability is not inherited, so a person does not get a Wikipedia article just for garnering some media coverage in the context of happening to be in a relationship with someone who, by virtue of his notability claim, is going to have his personal life invaded by the media almost by definition. WP:GNG is not passed just because sources exist; if that were true we'd have to keep articles about presidents of local PTAs and owners of hot dog stands, because coverage of people at that level of significance does exist too. Rather, the sources do have to be covering her in a context that constitutes a reason why she might belong in an encyclopedia. In the (unlikely, but never say never) event that Johnson wins the election, she'll qualify for an article as the incoming First Lady of the United States — but "is dating a candidate for president" is not, in and of itself, a reason why we would need to maintain an article about her if we can't really say much more about her than that. Bearcat (talk) 18:11, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
??? Your statement WP:GNG is not passed just because sources exist -- what kind of argument is that? Here's the GNG guideline: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list -- and this subject does receive significant coverage in reliable independent sources. I don't see any guideline that requires sources to be covering a person in a specific context.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 18:48, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, if all media coverage that exists at all were able to fulfill GNG just by existing, then we would have to keep articles about presidents of local PTAs, and owners of hot dog stands, and smalltown city councillors, and winners of local poetry contests, and fire chiefs, and people who got profiled in a newspaper's real estate section for buying a condo, and teenagers who got human interest pieces written about them because they tried out for their high school football team despite having a non-standard number of toes on their feet, and many other classes of people who do have media coverage but are still not of substantively encyclopedic interest. But we don't keep those types of articles, even though they can be sourced to media coverage, because the context in which the coverage is being given does enter into whether that coverage counts as notability-conferring coverage or not. Bearcat (talk) 20:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia policy generally assumes that write-ups in local news sources (which might talk about a hot dog stand owner or PTA president) don't really count. But that is not a factor here. Prusack is the significant other of a presidential candidate -- which is why she's getting national attention in respectable national and international media sources.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 21:57, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And when did "significant other of a presidential candidate, about whom nothing substantive can be written besides the fact that she's married to a presidential candidate" become a class of topic encyclopedias were expected to have articles about? Bearcat (talk) 22:19, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
When the International Business Times wrote this and Daily Caller wrote this. They think Prusack is important; QED meets the WP:GNG--Tomwsulcer (talk) 01:45, 26 Augus this].--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:24, 27 August 2016 (UTC) And the Colorado Statesman thinks she's cute.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:27, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
International Business Times also recently published an article about a man with an abnormally large penis applying for disability benefits — and an attempted Wikipedia article about said man did not survive AFD just because the story had made the International Business Times, because the substance of what he was getting covered for was not something that would be expected to get someone into an encyclopedia. And Daily Caller is an ideologically-slanted clickbait site, not a real or reliable media outlet. So my point still stands: even if the coverage is going international, the substance of what the coverage is for still has to be encyclopedic in nature. And we don't care what the Colorado Statesman thinks of her looks either, because (a) people don't get Wikipedia articles just for being good-looking, and (b) the article is not about Kate Prusack, but merely namechecks her existence in the process of having Gary Johnson, not Kate Prusack, as its primary subject — a source which namechecks a person's existence, but is not about her, does not contribute GNG points. Bearcat (talk) 22:50, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Guess what, the New York Times has published articles about people with large penises, so does that disqualify the NYTimes as a news source? Of course not. The International Business Times founded in 2005 has seven national editions and four languages; do you really think anything they wrote about Kate Prusack -- including seven facts -- (contradicting your idea that it was 'substanceless' without context) -- anything in that article isn't true?--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:11, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kindly stop misinterpreting me. The "guy with big penis" article doesn't permanently invalidate IBT or the NYT from ever being a reliable source for anything at all, and I never said that it did — what I said is that it demonstrates that the context in which the coverage is being given has to be taken into account in determining whether the coverage aids passage of GNG or not.
Having a big penis isn't an encyclopedic claim of notability, so the fact that the story got into IBT or the NYT doesn't help get that guy over GNG; being the spouse or common-law partner of an as yet unelected candidate for president isn't an encyclopedic claim of notability in and of itself, so the fact that IBT or the NYT happened to publish a story about her in that context doesn't aid passage of GNG. For some other examples: a person who has no substantive claim of notability does not get a Wikipedia article on GNG grounds just because the real estate section of the New York Times ran an article about the interior design of their condo. A person who has no substantive claim of notability does not get a Wikipedia article on GNG grounds just because he gave soundbite to the IBT about attending a parade. A person who has no substantive claim of notability does not get a Wikipedia article on GNG grounds just because her name appears in a newspaper's food column as the writer of a letter asking for a kale recipe (and I'll note, for the record, that you're the one who once tried to stake somebody's GNG claim on a kale letter.)
Coverage has to do more than just verify that a person exists to count toward GNG: that coverage has to be about the person doing something that would constitute a reason why they'd belong in an encyclopedia. Newspapers routinely cover lots of things that still don't belong in encyclopedias, so the mere fact that newspaper coverage exists does not satisfy GNG if the coverage isn't about anything significantly encyclopedic in nature. And sure, the IBT article "verifies" seven "facts" about her: but out of those seven facts, the number that are noteworthy facts that a person would get into an encyclopedia for is zero. That's what I'm talking about when I say the content is substanceless: it's not that the coverage contains no facts at all; it's that the coverage contains no noteworthy facts at all. Bearcat (talk) 16:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:INHERIT and WP:TOOSOON. The woman isn't even married to Johnson, she was never first lady of New Mexico while he was governor. Fails WP:GNG in a big way. Unless being a real-estate agent is now notable for encyclopedic inclusion. -- WV 14:41, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Keep explained below. Previously advised: ...and redirect to Johnson's entry, for almost entirely practical reasons. I agree with just about everything E.M. Gregory is saying here, to the extent I can easily imagine myself make the same decision about starting the entry, had it occurred to me. The tone of this AfD, though, has made me concerned with neutrality issues a standalone entry is likely to attract (e.g. some, let's call it, wide variation in perspectives on how their partnership should be characterized); I think E.M. Gregory has done a really good job selecting limited facts that can be verifiably and neutrally represented, and I think the best way to encourage WP coverage of Prusack to stay so judicious is to keep her as a section on Johnson's page (perhaps a subsection under Personal life?), until any more expansive coverage can be sourced equally robustly.
(My view's informed by my sense we may never get more major-outlet-level sources--since Johnson is being covered for the way he affects the campaign rather than any anticipation--barring some huge development--he and Prusack might become POTUS and FLOTUS, it's entirely possible to me that the press won't vet her the way they do for major-party Presidential and even Vice-Presidential spouses. If I felt more sure the sources were forthcoming, I wouldn't trouble us with the hassle of saying let's merge for now and re-expand later.) Innisfree987 (talk) 19:04, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a rational and pretty persuasive argument (not very different than what I said on talk when I started this page,) but I think we should keep it for now on a sort of level playing field argument. We had articles on all of the 2016 spouses, even those with no career outside marriage at all (Columba Bush, Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio) and on spouses of long shot candidates (Jane O'Meara Sanders,Candy Carson. We have articles on (Karen Pence and Anne Holton, although I see nothing to indicate that either of them would have an article if she was not married to a notable politician. We may indeed have to protect the page (this was recently necessary with Karen Pence). But WP:INHERIT is written to enable pages on spouses of well known politicians, and our users seem to expect there to be such a page, at least Ann Holton and Kate Prusack each got ~1000 page views yesterday [18], [19]. My fear is that it would appear partial to have a page on spouses of some candidates but not others. We do not want to appear to favor some candidates over others. My suggestion is that we leave this up until it is clear whether or not Johnson will appear in the national broadcast debates. If he doesn't, I will strongly support rolling this into Johnson's page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:00, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a good point too. I'm torn but at minimum I assume no one is suggesting we close this AfD early so I'll switch my ivote to neutral while I'm still thinking about it--I mean, if the Boston Globe runs a big reported piece on her in the next four days, that'd resolve this for me. Innisfree987 (talk) 21:46, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ok, I'm persuaded. My big concern was that if I felt (as I think I still do) the best encyclopedic treatment we could give her (in light of present sourcing) would be through a merge, but I ivoted in some other way for fear of political blowback--that actually would be partial treatment! But the fact is there's enormous variation in what extent of coverage we require of a subject (I am currently also participating in one AfD where a subject has even less coverage than Prusack but may yet pass; and another with easily ten times as many sources that seems like to get merged anyway), so including a subject on the basis of the sources like what we have here isn't at all outside the bounds of the standard AfD treatment we give all subjects. And within those bounds, I do think it's good encyclopedic practice not to err in the direction of eliminating or reducing down the entry for a potentially significant figure. So, keep for now, we can revisit in a couple months. (And frankly should per guidelines about low-profile individuals.) If this comes back up and I overlook it, feel free to ping me--happy to contribute now that I've memorized the sources! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:16, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Passes GNG. We aren't looking at INHERIT since there is a GNG claim. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:30, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:BIO1E and WP:TOOSOON. The subject is not individually notable yet per available sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:42, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is absolutely no claim of notability here and I second the arguments by Bearcat. This is essentially a WP:BIO1E. Editors need to realise that a subject needs to be independently notable. Otherwise, every single employee of a company who is quoted in the article would be notable. GNG is a guideline which is supposed to be used in context of our WP:NOT policies. Wikipedia is not a newspaper and we are not supposed to create articles simply because the subject is somehow associated with a political candidate. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:06, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also GNG is not a free pass to an article. A certain "Casey Shomaker" would probably pass GNG by these [20], [21], [22], [23]. That's doesn't mean we create an article on the person. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 04:08, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Lemongirl942, thank you so much for weighing in on this. I was thinking yesterday that this entry + AfD really illustrated how much better geodiversity can make Wikipedia/how impoverished WP is by the deficit. If you or others know more WP editors who work on politics (or biographies or gender or whatever) in countries other than the U.S. and might be willing to look at this, it seems to me it'd be quite useful and not canvassing to ping some of them? Unless I'm wrong on whether that's valid thing to do in which case ignore me on that, and just, thanks. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:24, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (change iVote to keep and perhaps post-election) merge into a brief section in Gary Johnson, expanding the material presently on that page with sources and material on this page. Reason is, that when I started this page Johnson had a tiny but mathematically possible shot of getting into the fall debates and becoming a major candidate. This morning, Reason [24] makes that look like a statistical near-impossibility. So, I move to redirect, merge. If - and Lord knows stranger things have happened this election cycle - Johnson steps onto the stage as a 3rd debater alongside Trump and Clinton, I will suggest that we move this back to mainspace at that point.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:17, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    data wonks may be amused by the extent to which the pageview stats on this page track the Johnson fade picked up in yesterday's poll numberss [25].E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:17, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ha, we might be chasing our tails a bit here--it's been up a week and basically those of us in this discussion are the only ones editing it! Which I think obviates my concern about neutrality within the entry--either she won't be in the press more and the entry will be ignored, or new press on her/Johnson will attract attention to the entry, and then we'll likely have more sources to base more content on. In the meantime, I think there's basically no harm in having an entry on her; you persuaded me of the potential harm in taking it down; and while I previously worried a little about false balance, on examination I think six sentences on her compared with, say, the Bill Clinton entry and the 18 standalone pages forked out from it are actually a reasonably good portrayal of the relative significance! (I also think the average WP reader--in contrast to the much small grouper of editors--has no idea we'd even consider NOT including her, so there's a risk of something like false imbalance, if I may.) I think benign neglect until this thing is over for sure is the best route. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:06, 1 September 2016 (UTC) (And by "neglect" I mean I added it to my watchlist and will both keep a close eye on it and also commit to soliciting uninvolved opinion if issues arise. Innisfree987 (talk) 19:10, 1 September 2016 (UTC))[reply]
rethinking -again Chuckle. OK, you persuaded me. I changed my iVote above. I strive to be user-friendly, and the reality is that voters want a reliable, easy way to find the basic biographical info on candidates. They just do. I see it as a basic part of what we do here. We should keep this plain-vanilla article on this candidate'f partner because our readers find this sort of article useful, and because is reliably sourced to stodgy, mainstream media. Period.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:54, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
comment - couldn't you just use a redirect to Johnson article area describing their relationship to aid our readers? --Malerooster (talk) 14:45, 4 September 2016 (UTC) ps, sorry, I see you already suggested that. --Malerooster (talk) 14:47, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It would mean adding more info there than is found on spouses in other candidate pages. Plus, while I've been out getting a sunburn in honor of Labor Day, Johnson has been making headlines.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:39, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Page gets 800 - 1100 page views every day, which persuades me that our users want this.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:12, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even if we assume the notability is not very temporary, and that is what you seem to be saying in small type a little above, for all the information the page provides, a redirect would eerve the purpose equally well. Going by pgaeviews for the period a person is in the news is not a grounds for notability, but rather the reason we have BLP 1E and NOTNEWS. DGG ( talk ) 04:37, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am saying 1.) spouses of all candidates with a shot at occupying the White House have articles. 2.) Our readers expect to find such pages and our readers do use this page. 3.) If/when Johnson loses the potential (granted, it is small) to become President, I will merge this page into Johnson's bio page (presumably on Nov. 8, perhaps earlier, or later if the Electoral College redirects this question to Congress). Until then, I continue to think that it is best to have this page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:08, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Violent comment. I have no particular opinion along the keep-delete axis, but want to respond to the idea that the number of pageviews matters when establishing notability. To most other websites, CTR, DAU, and similar TLAs are what drives all product decisions. I should know, I work for one of those places. But, we're not most other websites. Our goal is to build an encyclopedia, and we have standards for what should and shouldn't be included. Just like WP:ILIKEIT isn't a good argument, neither should WP:THEYLIKEIT be. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:50, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree with above comments that there is no claim of notability asserted. No notability independent of her partner. MB 22:49, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • At the risk of repeating myself, as stipulated in WP:INHERIT, "No notability independent of her partner," and "no claim of notability" aside from the relationship is required for the partner of a prominent politician to be notable, as long as coverage exists to pass GNG. Scroll to top of page for full explanation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:21, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note WP:INHERIT reads: "Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people (including politicians) can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG."E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:16, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete She is not notable in and of herself. She would become notable if and when Gary Johnson becomes president, which is not currently the case, and unlikely to be the case in the future. In my opinion, she does not pass the WP:GNG as coverage of her is not "significant". And we should not include too much information about his partner in the Gary Johnson article, as Wikipedia is not a bin for all information, but only information that is relevant and is of some importance.

  • It's not that I don't hear your argument, it's that more of our users come to this page ever day [26]; she has the media profiles that would get a page kept if she was a minor singer, politician, or beauty pageant winner; all facts in article are reliably sourced to reliable media (stuff like her college graduation year, her major, and what she does for a living); WP:INHERIT contradicts your first assertion (we DO KEEP articles on people closely connected to political figures who are not "notable in and of herself," and, well, WP:IAR.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:42, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
1000+ readers each day disagree with you.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:09, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think there are good arguments on both sides of this AfD; I do want to register, though, that I don't agree all political spouses are necessarily non-notable until their spouse is elected. At very high levels--certainly in the U.S., in other places as well--the press often treats political spouses as if they are essentially also running for a public office. We may wish spouses did not play such a significant role--we may consider it anti-democratic--we may find it sexist to premise a woman's notability on her role as wife or potential wife--conversely we may be inclined to presume wives don't play an important role in their husband's campaign--but if press attention to a political wife plays a role in the campaign (particularly one like this, which reliable sources are treating as an event of world-historical scale), I'm inclined to see WP:NPOV obliging us (mercifully permitting us??) to defer to editorial judgment of reliable secondary sources rather than deciding amongst ourselves how much spouses count for. So I'm much more sympathetic to arguments about adequacy of sourcing for notability, than to "she's not important" arguments. But thus far I continue to believe we've satisfied the spirit of WP:WHYN with the sources to develop a balanced, neutral and moreover stable entry, and I don't think she has less coverage than others who have sometimes passed GNG here. Combined with the significance of the event she's related to (I'm informed by the WP:BIO1E instruction that minor figures related to a single event may still merit a page when the event is as significant as, e.g., JFK's assassination), and the reader interest, I continue to think this standalone page does not hurt and rather helps the encyclopedia.

  • Redirect Changing my iVote. Oddly, 2 dramatic events happened. Balanced Rebellion, which almost put him into the debates, but, yesterday, the Aleppo gaffe, which appears to have ended any probability of his becoming a major candidate. I say we redirect this to a condensed section on Gary Johnson, keeping sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for pointing out Balanced Rebellion: it's awfully clever and the most interesting idea I've yet seen come out of this election cycle. Rebbing 12:44, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to record I nevertheless continue to think we should keep it--because of DGG's reminder of NOTNEWS! But whatever the conclusion of this AfD, most of all I'm glad the topic's been so thoroughly examined. Innisfree987 (talk) 16:20, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment from page creator I promise that if this page is left in place, I will revisit on Nov. 9 (or, if outcome is still in doubt on 9 Nov. - and this year, God only knows - as soon as possible before Jan. 20) and either source and improve the article beyond reproach, or bring it back to AFD. However, due to the undeniable fact that not only is my personal WP:CRYSTAL BALL shattered to useless shards of glass, fact is that NO ONE in this country has any more of a clue than I do who will come down with pneumonia next. I therefore urge the next experienced editor who swings by to close this as no consensus, in the expectation that on Nov.8, Prusack's notability will become markedly notably less moot than it is is today.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:57, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This sums up my NOTNEWS feeling. I reiterate my promise also to watch the watchman, and note that the entry has continued to remain completely stable. If it's not broke, etc. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:25, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
