This article appears to be about something either entirely fictional or of doubtful veracity. Its sources are either irrelevant or of doubtful reliability and context, and its author has been indefinitely blocked for tendentious editing in the topic, which puts his intentions in doubt.

  • Delete Uncomfortable about articles about incidents that purportedly happened. Unconvinced that this passes WP:CRIME. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 07:04, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I know about WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST, but must still make the point that it is pretty certain that far more Vietnamese women were raped by American and Vietnamese men during the Vietnam war than by South Korean men. This article picks out one nationality rather than address the general issue of rape in war, which happens in all wars and by all nationalities. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comment - Very good point. The subject, and the project, would be better served with an article that takes broader look at the story. Something titled: "Victimization of Vietnamese women during the war" (or something along those lines) and have the article cover attacks of all types, sexual or otherwise, carried out by assailants of all nationalities involved. - theWOLFchild 18:06, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is an apparent POV pushing agenda here concerning the ongoing push for compensation for Korean comfort women. So it is an example of the "what about" fallacy. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 22:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it does look like that. The "logic" used seems to be that the fact that some Korean men were rapists excuses the previous rape of Korean women. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 23:11, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the topic is described in much more depth at Lai Dai Han. Renata (talk) 20:09, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for finding that. That article provides a much better, and neutral, explanation of this issue. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:25, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Recommend that this article become a redirect to Lai Dai Han. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:41, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This discussion is nothing about censoring history. Renata has pointed out that we have an article about this topic that treats it properly, rather than in the biased way that this article does. We are (I hope) all agreed that rape, including in war, is a very bad thing. Let's not get away from that fact by presenting it as something that is dependent on the nationality of the perpetrators. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:11, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Lai Đại Hàn, per the suggestion of Hawkeye7 above. This is a potential search term to that much better article.--Mojo Hand (talk) 21:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, or make changes, as per my comment above. - theWOLFchild 18:06, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As written it does not provide any useful info. If there is anything here, that should be merged to other pages. My very best wishes (talk) 21:04, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looks poorly sourced as a stand alone article, but maybe a merging is suggested to another articles. It may be worth putting in as a section of the Vietnam war article. Huitzilopochtli1990 (talk) 01:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A mostly self-published poet. Published in some obscure magazines, but Google turns up nothing like a substantive source on which an actual article can be based. Previously kept in a thinly-attended AfD in which the article creator opined that the quality of the subject's writing should be sufficient to offset the absence of reliable independent sources. Er, no, that's not how it works. Guy (Help!) 22:06, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep [1] appears to be a reliable independent source as does [2]. [3] is a reliable source that provides a bit of coverage and there are links to sources that sound reasonable but aren't available on-line. Looks to meet WP:N, though also seems far too promotional. Also finding _lots_ of passing mentions in books. Hobit (talk) 20:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
She works in the poker industry , not very surprising from someone in Las Vegas, so her PR agent placed an article in Poker News. Similarly the others read as obvious advertorials. Furthermore, being highly promotion, to the point that rewriting beyond routine editing is necessary, is by itself a sufficient reason for deletion--even speedy deletion by G11. DGG ( talk ) 02:23, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete paid PROMO. Agricola44 (talk) 13:26, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- a BLP that lacks independent sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. Promotionalism only for an nn individual. The Review Journal article ([4]) does not appear to be a reliable independent source as it's advertorially-toned and is based on the interview with the subject. The other sources are WP:SPIP as well. Should have been deleted at the first AfD. K.e.coffman (talk) 15:51, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm discounting it because it's based on the interview with the subject. It's not a source that's intellectually independent of the subject, hence it's not suitable for establishing notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:04, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. While Harris M. Lentz III has produced an impressive number of reference books, some of which have been given routine reviews in library science journals (e.g. [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]), I don't think this satisfies WP:AUTHOR or WP:SCHOLAR and very little can be written other than a list of books. The Encyclopedia.com entry appears adapted from a Gale Writers Directory, which may simply give an entry to anyone who applies (see footnote 6 at WP:BASIC). --Animalparty!

Non-notable voice actress.

    • Delete - More power to him in his racing career, but this is simply WP:TOOSOON. Even at the national level, a Legends or Bando championship isn't high enough on the ladder to confer notability, and while he did win a touring series championship (SRL S2 in 2014) that's so far down the ladder you need a telescope to see it - if we were comparing it to baseball, it'd be rookie league, not even single-A.

    An Infowars "journalist". The first eight pages of Google showed nothing that could be used as a WP:RS to establish notability. The sources currently cited are either dubious or trivial, wit the exception of "Radio host protests 'police state' in Ferguson". This is WP:BLP1E territory, if that.

    There's little doubt he's a rising star of the alt right.
    We may not agree with him, but I'd say he's definitely notable, and someone people will be looking up... Wiki page stats show this isn't a dead page. I can't stand him but still contributed to the page (from the UK) because of the buzz around him here.

    • Keep I'm finding lots of coverage of this fringe media personality. In Vox, Slate, and elsewhere. For example, here's an article largely about his work (even if the headline features Alex Jones) see here.

    string of 6 delete votes in under 6 hours? How is the ani discussion not seen as blatant canvassing? nobody likes sockpuppets but what's worse is the shady tactics by people who game the system. good riddance, LaceyUF (talk) 09:34, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Posting a report of evident (and now proven) sockpuppetry on a public noticeboard is not canvassing. When an attempt at stuffing the ballot box via sockpuppetry is detected by the Wikipedia community, a frequent autoimmune response is for editors in good standing, who have now had their attention drawn to the issue, to examine the dispute and, usually, simply vote the other way that the sockpuppets voted. (In general, if you need sockpuppetry to survive, you probably don't have policy behind you anyway.) In this way, organized sockpuppetry campaigns are disincentivized because when and if they are discovered, they will not only fail but fail deadly in that they will likely result in exactly the opposite of the sockmaster's desired outcome. There is nothing "shady" about denying a victory to people who intentionally abuse our systems. The lesson that should be learned here is evident - don't abuse sockpuppets and don't intentionally disrupt the encyclopedia for personal self-aggrandizement.

    Well that was a refreshingly honest reply. So what then am I to do when I vote on an AFD (see here) and then out of nowhere all this chaos/drama ensues over the past 48 hours? You seem to be aboveboard; and we both know how this AFD will end. Assuming a case could be made in favor of Owen Shroyer's notability, am I correct in my assessment that now isn't the time? LaceyUF (talk) 23:51, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    "Then there is Owen Shroyer. He is a Texan native and an anchor at InfoWars, a swivel-eyed, conspiratorial news website that has been called “fake news”. He was recruited off the back of a YouTube series, where he would posit emphatic conservative observations about organisations such as the Clinton Foundation.".

    "Shroyer is a disciple. When Jones was impugned by “four different sources” including comedian Seth Meyers and US cable television network CSPAN, Shroyer uploaded a video to his YouTube account, where he has almost 19,000 subscribers, defending Jones."

    "Shroyer has 13,000 followers on Twitter and his pinned tweet is a quasi-poem which reads, “Go Trump go!/Go Trump go!/Hey America, what do you say? Trump is going to win today!”. It has been liked 1,200 times and retweeted 447 times."

    "The new lexicon": "The movement has its own language and rhetorical style. There are keywords like “cuck”, which — in Shroyer’s words — refers to “someone who is weak-minded or will kowtow to whatever authority says. They’re never gonna question anything and they’re never gonna look into anything for themselves.” Shroyer’s fans call him the “cuck destroyer”.

    "On Twitter, Shroyer attaches the hashtag #helltothenaw to liberal opinions with which he disagrees; spelling “no” as “naw” suggests a Rust Belt dialect — the white, working-class areas where Trump picked up much of his support."

    "He also uses words like “wussification” (“The wussification of America ends now,” he tweeted. “You want a safe space? Stay home. #americaisback”). It speaks to the masculinity of the Trump movement. "

    We can certainly delete the entry because we don't like the subject or because his supporters came out to vote for keeping the article, but it's false to say this provocateur and conspiracy monger hasn't been covered substantially in a wide variety of reliable independent sources. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:01, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    @FloriadaArmy: You've tried but that ingle news cannot establish notability. Basic notability guideline WP:GNG requires significant coverage from multiple independent sources. That's why I linked bare minimum above. If we decide notability by news like this, only few people will not have article on Wikipedia. Ammarpad (talk) 14:15, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    St.Louis Dispatch, Salon article, Daily Dot, AOL, The Tab, Slate, Bustle, VOX, CNN, Vice, Austin American Statesman, and extensive coverage in Evening Standard piece quoted above. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:35, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Suppose we accept that Evening Standard article as substantial coverage—which, I'm not sure I do, but we'll suppose so for now. What could his article contain? Basically all it does already, which is fleeting coverage of a couple of one-off events. Quasi-stub.

    These trivial, passing mentions establish that he wears racist t-shirts and that he got laughed at by a little girl. FloridaArmy, it seems you like to blow up everything, but "controversy" is an overused word, and the GNG requires "significant coverage"--not a bunch of "look at this fucking idiot" mentions on websites.

    • Keep. After a first quick scan, I thought I would be closing this AfD as "delete." When I went back to read the arguments more carefully, I was not convinced by any of the arguments for deletion. Nobody has convincingly addressed the significant, independent coverage that FloridaArmy has brought up in multiple sources. Most of the arguments for deletion simply say "not notable" without a discussion of existing coverage. A few individuals arguing for deletion reveal in their arguments that they simply don't like Shroyer's politics or they personally think Shroyer should not be notable. I don't like Shroyer either, but you cannot deny that he has become "worthy of notice" and has the required notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. Malinaccier (talk) 01:09, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete Like Malinaccier I was looking to close this. Having reviewed the articles provided I don't think the coverage quite reaches the point we are looking for to do a BLP. There is no doubt the subject has a talent for self-publicity but a stream a marginal events is still an article that says at the end of the day he has a podcast and a radio show and he says things that get reactions. That's not much to hang an article around and I'd like to see some in depth sources for a BLP that could easily become negative and unbalanced before we host this. Spartaz Humbug! 06:07, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete or merge in a to-be-created Infowars article (currently part of the Alex Jones article). The coverage is more about the website and its antics than about Shroyer as a person.

    • Delete I just read the sources provided by User:FloridaArmy. The St Louis Today piece was promising and I was leaning to keep but the rest were either about him being called an "(expletive deleted) idiot" or Jones or InfoWars.

Then [16] we have another article by Hunter Jones, where most of the articles published on the site come from an open submissions process.

    The next citation is from hunterjones.com website. Them [17] give me a File or directory notice error, again from a local newpaper. [18] The next source gives me a 404 Not Found Error. [19] Then there is another article written by Hunter.

    The next citation is probably the second best argument for notability and that is [20] Current Fellows and Members, as I do not know what it takes to be a Fellow or a member in the Royal Historical Society I will let others determine if that provides enough notability to be included. Next the Articel Cites [21] The Society of Authors and lists Hunter Jones as a member. This is a trade union that essentially anyone can join.

    Next we have a list of winners of a non-notable award [22]. Then we have an online book publishing company [23].

    We then come to our last citation that is worth any note and again it is from a Local news source [24] a short article on a book signing. The last two citations only direct you to places where you can buy her books. Based on my analysis I do not see how this individual meets the notability standards of Wikipedia.

    • Delete. I do not see how she meets GNG or WP:AUTHOR (which seems to be her main thing, she also has a imdb entry - imdb) - definitely not with the sources in the article, and not with what I see in a BEFORE. This might be a WP:TOOSOON - as it seems she is releasing/appearing at a fairly high pace.Icewhiz (talk) 15:51, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. The claim of being a "best-selling" author would seem to be questioned by the fact that her main work, September Ends, is not held by any libraries, according to WorldCat. Taken with the SPA history, this is almost certainly a vanity page. Please excuse some end-of-the-year venting of frustration, but WP's agenda of "inclusion", etc., is taking it toward being a worldwide directory of all of humanity. The slow and manual process of AfD & PROD will be losing ground faster and faster as time goes on. Agricola44 (talk) 16:14, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    <===The University of Edinburgh's article states that she is a Romance Writers of America (PAN member). To become a PAN member of that group, an author must submit via a publisher that they have sold over 5000 copies of a book within a small time span. With the article being published in 2016, that information would've been supplied by MadeGlobal Publishing due to sales of her Anne Boleyn story, Phoenix Rising. Definitive proof of the best seller claim.

    • Comment. You appear to have little appreciation for the notability requirements. What you say may be true, but it doesn't have demonstrated reliability. So, for example, the WorldCat entry for Phoenix Rising shows that it is held by precisely 2 institutions. The context in which you throw around the label "best selling author" is not what that term is understood to mean here at WP. This person is not even close to being notable by standard criteria. Sorry. Agricola44 (talk) 01:08, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete: There have been irregular actions including at least one instance of socking on the page. And despite that activity and repeated requests/advice, direct evidence has yet to be identified that one or more of her works actually meet WP:NBOOK. The less direct proofs and sources against WP:NAUTHOR haven't stood up to scrutiny. Neither Society of Authors nor RHS memberships provide any evidence of notability. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 00:19, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Weak Delete: Notability is borderline at best, and with all the other issues of promotional stuff, socking, etc., I don't see a good justification to keep. — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 03:25, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. It's notability is the multiple billion-dollar brands that it creates toys for, like Pokemon, Doctor Who, and Scooby Doo. It also has several different sources that certainly meets the requirement of "multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability" and "Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject."

    • Delete No indications of notability - entirely promotional article. Fails WP:SPIP, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP, references fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. Notability is not inherited - that is, just because some of the products this company manufactured may be for notably characters from movies, etc, this does not mean that the notability of those characters bestows notability on the manufacturer. Also, there appears to be some misinterpretation of "independent of the subject" - this does not mean that the publisher of a reference must be an independent corporate entity from the company. Routine listings in Bloomberg and the Companies Office fail WP:CORPDEPTH, references such as this one from kidscreen.com provide no information on the company and are mere mentions-in-passing, thereby also fails CORPDEPTH, references such as this one are based on company announcements with no independent analysis or opinion and fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH.

Of the other sources listed in the article, my top three picks would be [26][27][28] The remainder do not go into as much depth, but are useful for specific points, and per WP:CORPDEPTH may be combined to help establish notability.

    • Comment - Is there a reason why the 2010 article is being singled out in particular? Because there are thirty other articles just like this one, for the last 30 years of music. This discussion of one year doesn't really make sense. A new one discussing them collectively is probably a better choice. Sergecross73 msg me 16:07, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I had attempted to redirect them all the individual year lists working backwards (2017 back to 1990). All they were "this is a list of number ones on this chart for this year" while the newer decade lists were well-organized and comprehensive without becoming a sprawling, cluttered mess. During that process, an editor reverted back to the original lists for 2010 on. A redirect to List of Billboard number-one alternative singles of the 2010s should be sufficient as clearly a WP:CFORK. This one has not been singled out but nominated separately from the others; I'm not sure why they weren't bundled together, however. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 16:41, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • This sort of rationale would have us deleting all the Billboard and similar music chart articles. We have hundreds of them, some existing for over a decade.

    Several issues: a) contents already well covered in Food security and associated articles; b) essay-style under unsuitable title and with too-broad focus; c) reads as personal synthesis, although it actually may consist completely of material paraphrased from a single source that pops up a dozen times in the references - without making this POV clear; c) would in any case have to be rewritten completely to achieve an encyclopedic and NPOV tone (and intelligible grammar), although that's the least problem. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:08, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    The "how are we going to feed so many people" content is all covered there. The part on "what new foods may be invented in the future" isn't covered anywhere. Insects as food (as Entomophagy) is a separate stand-alone article, and I'm not sure why it's relevant. I'd be interested in more Cultured meat-type content in an article on the "future of food". As a practical matter, my vote is Redirect to Food security, which is a fairly high-level/overview article and a plausible redirect target; expanding the "Use of genetically modified (GM) crops" section to be more widely about "research" would allow everything to be covered there. I see no reason to merge any content as part of the AfD process; any requests can be discussed on the talk page. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:25, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep the topic is worthwhile having. Some of the content is also discussed in English language shources, for example eating insects. Probably nearly everything needs rewriting though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:25, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep per Bartlett; this is fundamentally a question of whether the sourcing verifies its claim to notability, and, whilst it leans perhaps rather too heavily towards one particular source, per WP:NOENG, the fact that they are Korean (and German?) does not stand against them. The arguments favouring deletion rather tend themselves towards WP:AADD: reading as an essay, being poorly written, and that it should be TNT'd, and much of the nomination itself could fall under WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP. >SerialNumber54129...speculates 15:35, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete Other articles explain the problems mentioned much better at the moment. Also IMO I feel calling it Future of Food will leave it open to partisan editing in the future, particularly if left in this half empty book state. The future of food is maybe a topic we are missing, we have a Future of Earth for instance but there is nothing here salvageable or coherent enough to keep. Delete and start again. Mattg82 (talk) 01:58, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete per Elmidae's repeated and unanswered question above.
    • Keep it's amazing that we feed over 6 billion people on a regular basis, and the prospect of feeding 9-10 billion is daunting and one of the world's most pressing issues besides war and climate and technology. Speaking of technology it is playing an increasing role in innovating how food is produced, and a true revolution is underway on how we produce and transport food and what we eat. This isn't a "Food Security" topic -this is far beyond it. While we can all quibble about the near singularity of country of origin of sources, we should applaud the creation of this page with the full understanding that it will evolve to include rich and constantly evolving content. And I look forward to working on this page to improve it. Rsarlls (talk) 16:44, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • To answer "Elmidae the word "technology" is used 16 times in the Food Security article, almost all relating to GMOs. The global consumer shifts away from animal protein (esp. in developed world - Millennials and Gen Z are increasingly vegans), the use of robotics and technology in growing and harvest crops, Impossible meat, driverless trucks, fully automated restaurants, urban and vertical farming, the role of app driven delivery services, etc. are NOT covered in the Food Security article. They SHOULD be covered in this article and I will work to include going forward.

    • @Piotrus: I found this article requested to be moved from draft. I got a warning that the procedure to check drafts was backlogged "for two months", and the user requesting the move wrote that he could not wait that long, so I moved it and AfD'ed it, as the usual "queried move request" refuses if the requested move is from Draft:X to X.

Could you point me to the relevant policy/guideline? Btw, as I noted, this was a Sandbox article that was supposed to have been moved to mainspace, it was instead moved without asking the author or instructor (it is an educational assignment project, btw) to the Draft space.

      • @Sro23: Interesting point. Is Gabjil and power harassment identical? The interwiki linking power harassment to ko:갑질 was made just today by User:Tiens (ping). The concepts are certainly closely related, but the article as written focuses on Korea only, so it is at the very least about power harassment in South Korea. Korean press (see links above in my reply to Anthony) commonly uses this term in English without translating it as power harassment. The term is also used in English-language academic works, through mostly by Korean scholars writing in English (which doesn't invalidate it, but still worth pointing out): [35], closed access, sorry, [36], [37], Chris Rowley; Marie dela Rama (3 May 2017). The Changing Face of Corruption in the Asia Pacific: Current Perspectives and Future Challenges. Elsevier Science. pp. 243–. ISBN 978-0-08-101230-7.. I did find at least one Korean scholarly paper which equates gabjil with power harassment in its short English abstract: [38] and another one [39] which defines it as "making use of one’s prominent position and power" so in the end I think you are right, gabjil is power harassment, however I think this article is too large for the merge and ph in SK is a notable topic in itself. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:00, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I must say that I didn't notice that the new article 'Gabjil' exists as I've made the interwiki link of ko:갑질 to power harassment. These 2 terms are high related in terms of power harassment meanly, however the word 'Gabjil' is used under the circumstance where there is some business or other contract between 2 parties or persons and one who have high power or position shows any power harassment to the other side. this is somewhat different usage with ja:パワハラ which is focused on the circumstance of power harrasement between employer and employee or senior boss and mere member/clerk. In my opinion Gabjil is a specific result of whole power harassment concept, and in addition this term is a kind of new term in Korean society. It'd good if Gabjil could be explained in the korean specific section of power harassment, or splitted to separated article, in bother case 2 term should be linked. thanks. -- Tiens (talk) 08:28, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep but consider renaming. Per my extensive replies with sources above I think this article is clearly notable, and too large to merge to power harassment, but it may be worthwile to consider renaming it to power harassment in South Korea. While the Korean term is used in English literature, we should consider WP:COMMONNAME. I am not however leaning towards said rename, as my searchers for phrases "power harassment in Korea" and "power harassment in South Korea" turned out exactly zero hits. When this topic is discussed, it seems that scholars (and press) use the Korean term (also note it is transliterated with p as 'gapjil', and sometimes with a hyphen - as well). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:00, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • No precedent exists at all for list of bus route articles. Ajf773 (talk) 17:50, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure the article needs improving, but that is not grounds for deletion. Do all of these 300+ need deleting? Aoziwe (talk) 14:15, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Most of them are candidates for deletion as well. Category:Lists of bus routes only shows less than 50. I have started flagging some too. Ajf773 (talk) 19:36, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Either the 300+ established a precedent or it does not. Either they (probably) all go, or they all stay including this one. Yes they are bus cruft with no intrinsic notability, but there are also literally hundreds of thousands of other articles with no intrinsic notability which are agreed to be notable (currently at least). Aoziwe (talk) 03:19, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    A good indicator of notability is whether any of the individual bus routes are notable in their own right. The only British based list article to survive AfD is List of bus routes in London, mainly because roughly 10-15% of bus routes have articles and/or are notable enough to have one. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS applies. Ajf773 (talk) 07:56, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Neutral, I am kind of on the fence, yes it could kind of fall under the NOTTRAVEL but does not really necessarily fall under NOTDIRECTORY. The only reason I am saying that is because unlike some I have seen on here, it provides a bit more than just a list of bus routes in Newcastle, New South Wales it actually talks about them, and such, now I could see if the wording and article was a bit more improved and polished and have a bit more content it really saying keep, but I could also see a merge into the main article about Newcastle, as a section. With reducing the amount of bus lines mentioned and keeping to the more notable ones. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 17:59, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't see much about detail about any of the routes in this list article apart from basic info such as termini, main stops and content about days of operation - nothing of importance at all. There is also a whole section relating to bus lanes (despite being unsourced) and a nice table of fares (this bit definitely fails WP:NOTTRAVEL). All in all, individually are almost always not notable and it's unlikely any routes in a city of around 300,000 will ever have one. Ajf773 (talk) 18:59, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete as fancruft lacking significant secondary sources discussing this set of routes to establish notability. It fails WP:NOTTRAVEL, WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOR at the least.Charles (talk) 22:24, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is better than a lot of the other "Bus routes in ..." articles, given that the article talks in more general terms about services in the area. You can make an argument that some parts of the article could be removed or rewritten, but the article doesn't warrant deletion. -- Whats new?(talk) 22:41, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Per the majority of AfD's outcomes, WP:NOTDIR has been mentioned multiple times. This is a simple list of non notable bus routes ... as Charlesdrakew puts it: WP:FANCRUFT. There is no in-depth mention of terms and services in the article nor any need for one without potentially violating WP:NOTTRAVEL Ajf773 (talk) 23:32, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Again, the topic is notable. AfD is not a substitute for changes in the article -- Whats new?(talk) 00:15, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    What's notable exactly? Bus transport in Newcastle? or the bus routes? Be specific. Ajf773 (talk) 01:19, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Train routes are notable, airline destinations are notable, tram lines are notable. I don't see much difference -- Whats new?(talk) 01:27, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Rapid service routes are often notable, that includes heavy rail, light rail and tram routes. It may also include routes as part of rapid transit networks (with limited stops) but not local routes (unless there is sufficient secondary sources to satisfy WP:N. The same goes for stops, RTN stops (such as stations) are notable, bus stop are not. Ajf773 (talk) 01:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    And this article isn't about an individual route, its about all of them. -- Whats new?(talk) 01:39, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    And from previous examples [40] they don't often pass AfD's. I can't compare this article to the other, but I can't see anything above and beyond other than just a list of barely sourced routes. Ajf773 (talk) 01:45, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep  Nothing to consider here, as the nomination is a WP:VAGUEWAVE unsupported by preparation on the talk page to show that this was a problem that needed community-wide attention.  Suggest more attention to WP:BEFORE going forward.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:41, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The two policies presented in the AfD seems very obvious to me. Ajf773 (talk) 02:46, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree with Unscintillating. Pointing at policies without explaining how it fails them is not helpful. WP:NOTTRAVEL talks about restaurant reviews, pricing and contact information, and indiscriminate tourist location listings. WP:NOTDIR is more relevant, but the examples it provides are mostly instances of ephemeral information (upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules) or unimportant information (a list of a company's patent filings). A list of bus routes is neither of these things, being both permanent and the primary component of a bus network. The article is more than just a list anyway, with the lead detailing the different bus companies operating the network. Kb.au (talk) 10:30, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:NOTTRAVEL points to WP:NOTGUIDE. A travel guide is a guide. Its scope is not limited to restaurants, pricing, contacts... it may also include public transport. Ajf773 (talk) 19:36, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree with Kb.au. This is a categorisation of Newcastle commuter bus routes by region, not something assocaited with recreational travel planning or guides. Given that some amount of effort has gone into preparing this, and that the contributers of this info don't seem to be aware of the AfD nomination, it seems wrong to just remove all this work. I have improved the article slightly and added a back link from the Newcastle Transport page. To remove duplication, the fares section could be remioed and instead point to Opal_card#Fares Teraplane (talk) 10:51, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete as per Charles and nom - Fails WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTTRAVEL, WP:BUSCRUFT and WP:GNG - Back in 2014 the UK bus routes were all deleted due to a lack of notability and there's nothing different with these, Also if a passenger wants to know where a bus goes to and from then they should check the bus operators website - not an encyclopedia!, and last but not least a lot of these all become outdated anyway (One article a few years back was 5 years out of date!), In short this whole article fails GNG as well as the bus-related guidelines. –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 13:44, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are four bus operators across Newcastle, a passenger may not know which ones applies to their area of travel. This article defines that regional grouping. It also includes links to the operating companies timetables and fare guides in 'External Links', which of course is maintained and kept up to date.

    • Keep - For the solid reasons given by other editors above. I agree that the article's fare tables can go, but AfD is a wholly inappropriate place to discuss problems within an article. That's what the Talk page is for, or being WP:BOLD. Shelbystripes (talk) 05:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The problems are the article itself. AfD is the right venue for this. Ajf773 (talk) 09:13, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Agree that any issues should be confined to Talk. This page has been there since 2006 with no problems arising and gets 700+ view per month. It's had 105 edits, what sort of message do we send to those editors if we simply throw away their work with no warning, unless you are watching the page? The linked wiki pages for each bus operator concentrates on their own services. This page gives a useful grouping of services by region and not company. I have replaced the table of fares with a link to the appropriate wiki page to address some of the concerns above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Teraplane (talkcontribs) 23:53, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's not everyone's problem if editor's put in a lot of work and content doesn't meet any of the policies of Wikipedia. There is plenty of warning as this AfD discussion has been present for over two weeks and relisted several times. Ajf773 (talk) 03:31, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • My point is the article is widely read and updated, therefore useful to many. Highly unusual to class this as AfD, which is better suited to very new articles on trivial or self serving content. It may not meet your interpretation of Wikipedia polices, which often are in the minority. I've traveled often to Newcastle and used some of these bus services. So can vouch for the articles usefulness. You don't seem to have any particular knowledge of or interest in Newcastle bus transport. Many editors are not aware of the AfD process and would not monitor their contributions unitl it's too late in the case of a successful AfD. So again the Talk page is the correct place to highlight areas for improvement, along with enhancing the page itself. Teraplane (talk) 10:53, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. Just travel guide / directory-type information, which we do not carry per WP:IINFO. The "keep" opinions are weakly argued, as they do not rebut this argument, and such statements as "well-established precedent" are also weak as well as dubious, given the several previous deletions of similar articles. Sandstein 15:31, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete as per WP:NOTDIR, if people want to know this they'll go to the bus company's website (which would be more up to date anyway), not wikipedia.--Rusf10 (talk) 21:45, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Selective merge and redirect to Newcastle Transport, the new route operator. Specifically don't include the four sections with bus numbers; instead point readers to the timetables in the external links section. Why duplicate effort? This is excessive info for an encyclopedia, especially since there's no sourcing to indicate that these are anything more than run of the mill bus routes. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTDIR.

Most of the "Earth as presented in various works" section could be eliminated or merged up to the previous section. I believe higher-level sources can be found regarding such depiction of Earth. The article probably needs to be retitled to make it clear that it only refers to depictions of Earth in science fiction franchises where there are other planets to which Earth can relate. There are science fiction works like Minority Report or even The Martian where there is no change to the status of the Earth itself. bd2412 T 14:49, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are similar pages for the other planets (see navbox) so deletion will likely quickly result in the page's recreation, and the page is notable enough to allow the page to exist.

    • Putting on editor hat in a hope to help establish consensus: Delete per the policy WP:NOTPLOT. "Wikipedia articles should not be summary-only descriptions of works". That's what this is, just an aggregation of plot summaries. That also applies to the completely OR "common themes" section. Besides, the list's inclusion criteria is overbroad.

    What is notability inside a city?  You've got WP:CORP's WP:AUD confused with GNG.  Those newspaper articles appear to be the work of professional journalists.  I didn't research the names of the authors, but they appear at the bottom.  There are some unusually detailed articles here, including phone numbers you could call.  There is another WP:RS listed in the article.  As for what you are calling a blog, blogs written by notable authors carry the reliability of the author, and the author here is the City of Johannesburg.  There is also the 1997 "Human Rights Report" on Google books, but I haven't been able to identify the author as anything other than "The Committee".  Unscintillating (talk) 03:43, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    * Allatsea.com - blog - author hidden behind a relatively anonymous email [47]
    * Soweto Urban - local newspaper
    * Roodepoort Record - local newspaper
    * joburg.org.za - city website - primary -
    * The Heritage Portal - blog [48] - primary - authored by City of Johannesburg

    • But you agree that he has "voluminous" coverage that satisfies WP:GNG?  Unscintillating (talk) 20:44, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Where does the word "voluminous" appear in GNG?--Rusf10 (talk) 21:16, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    The words in GNG are "significant coverage".  The nutshell states the need for "sufficiently significant attention".  Unscintillating (talk) 22:17, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete - We know local politicians need something exceptional to be considered notable; nearby news reporting is typical of any person of Tkazyik'a status. "Voluminous" seems to be a popular word here so I apologize for not fitting it into my rationale.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 05:28, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Unscintillating unfortunately you are basing much of your rebuttals to an eight year old AFD and the word "voluminous". Interpretations of policy can/have grown after eight years and the use of the word "voluminous" doesn't override every vote you disagree with. Also remember: don't comment in excess, it is bad for your health!TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:38, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete -- does not meet WP:NPOL and lacks significant RS coverage that discusses the subject directly and in detail.

    WP:TOOSOON - concept is only used in publications of the two authors cited in the article (plus a third, Tim Moses, who overwhelmingly appears to co-author with them). No widespread use outside these publications can be found. Indeed, there's a good amount of overlap with use of the term in linguistics, so the name isn't up for grabs.

    Non-notable dog hybrid. Source 1 is a kennel website which is entirely unacceptable, 2 is a scrape website, 3 and 5 and 6 aren't about the breed, 4 and 9 are the same kennel websites, 7 is a self-published book and 8 doesn't mention the breed at all.

    • Redirect to the band's article. The album is not independently notable and the article contains no encyclopedically relevant prose to consider it worth merging. The article is largely this:
    • Only 500 copies were made, and copies have been reported as being sold for as high as $250 on eBay

    Keep: I assume you are suggesting it should redirect into a new section in the Altana article? I see many news articles specifically referencing BYK Additives & Instruments. I don't see why it shouldn't be a separate article, since it features in the news as BYK - I think there are sufficient reliable sources (that should be referenced) to demonstrate that it is not inherited notability. = paul2520 (talk) 19:55, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, to Altana. It was already redirected once (by someone else: "Not notable, without significant coverage") but quickly reverted by the article creator, an apparently-connected editor. Lithopsian (talk) 21:21, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Jack Schlossberg[edit]

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

    Scholossberg is a 1st year law student, who wrote for his college paper as an undergrad, helped some of his high school friends organize volunteer efforts, got photographed a few times because his mom was an ambassador, and got a bunch of human interest and tabloid coverage as afterglow from very famous relatives. He has done absolutely nothing that even comes close to making him notable, and the coverage is not at all of a level to establish notability. I know this has gone through discussions before, but they have all ignored the rule that we write articles based on the preesent not on possible future situations, and at present Schlossberg is a non-notable law student. This may change in the future, but he is non-notable at present. They were also under the old name of this article, which makes it a bit confusing. I accidentally at first created this as number 4. I also do not know how to link the previous 3 or so nominations to this one. John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:37, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep Nothing has changed from the previous AfDs except new additional sources have been added. This is a notable individual for all the reasons laid out over the course of many years by dozens of editors in multiple AfDs and DRVs. The nom believes "He has done absolutely nothing that makes him notable" .. he has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Notability is not an award for achievement, anyone can be notable for any reason, including public and press interest. -- GreenC 14:50, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep This guy gets even more coverage now than he did in previous years when I participated in some of the past deletion discussions for him. I just clicked the NEWS link at the top of this AFD and see results from as recent as Nov 17, 2017 from People magazine where he talks about climate change. Please stop wasting time trying to delete this. It meets the requirements for a Wikipedia article. Dream Focus 15:42, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete -- an unremarkable socialite; does not appear to have achieved anything significant. The article is full of trivia, such as:
    • "On April 10, 2016, he and Caroline greeted the then U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry who arrived at the Iwakuni Marine Corps Air Station..." Etc.
    Being on a best-dressed list is not a claim of significance. Wikipedia is not a tabloid or a society page in a newspaper. K.e.coffman (talk) 16:59, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Though I am a bit swayed by K.e.coffman's comments, as I agree just being a socialite isn't enough, there's considerable mention in press of this individual. Notability isn't inherited, to be sure. While he hasn't done anything notable yet, he does attract considerable attention in the press [51]. This is a sufficient pass per WP:GNG. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:54, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep  I think five AfDs and 2 DRVs says the community has well-considered this topic.  I looked no further than one DRV, where I found this comment, "The delete voters did not address the sources presented and only argued against the non-existent opinion of "he's notable because he's a Kennedy."  [52]  Unscintillating (talk) 04:02, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note  There are two concurrent nominations here.  I have requested an administrator at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Schlossberg (4th nomination)Unscintillating (talk) 04:28, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Note: The following two keep/delete recommendations were moved from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Schlossberg (4th nomination). The other AfD is a duplicate and concurrent AfD nomination, and these recommendations were moved to merge the two AfDs.

    Keep - People may only notice him because of his relations and physical appearance and he may have done nothing particularly remarkable, but he has enough coverage in independent reliable sources ([53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61]) to pass WP:GNG. -Indy beetle (talk) 07:38, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Does the subject qualify as a model? No. As an academic? No. As a social entrepreneur? No. The argument is that he earned notability by the quantity of press he gets -- press he wouldn't get but for the other seven people mentioned in the piece. Rhadow (talk) 22:07, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. Kennedy family is America's "royalty". He is active in noble things (philanthropy, etc.) which seals the deal as far as his "nobility".desmay (talk) 00:01, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Royalty? "No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States". Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution
    • [62] Jack Schlossberg · 7/1/2016 - 11/30/2017 · 659,116 pageviews. In the years before then the page had a different name, so more views then as well. He gets coverage for quite a large variety of things, not just passing mention because of who his famous relative was. Dream Focus 02:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, so now the argument is this: he has a Wikipedia article, therefore he is notable. That is circular logic of the first order. Rhadow (talk) 12:22, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    He is notable because he clearly passes WP:GNG. I just thought that an interesting fact, how many people come here to read about him. Dream Focus 12:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    It gets 1000 to 4000 views a day or 100s of thousands a year, plus it would create a couple hundred red backlinks which would be disruptive. The last AfD was closed by User:Sandstein with this prophetic message: the chance to obtain a "delete" consensus in any future nomination appears remote in the extreme. This remains true and John Pack Lambert was a participant in that AfD and should take heed. It's wasting everyone's time and becoming disruptive. -- GreenC 16:03, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    "it would create a couple hundred red backlinks" -- Now the argument is that incumbency trumps the innate notability of the subject. I'll remember that. Rhadow (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The notability "argument" for keep is WP:GNG as noted in the Keep votes. -- GreenC 16:40, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Not independently notable. Coverage consists of very local coverage, nothing rising to the level of general notability. Mostly already covered at Theatre Royal, Newcastle; any additional information can be added to that if properly sourced. But no need for a separate article. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 13:26, 21 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Appeal

    The institution has been written about numerous times in The Stage (see ref: https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2016/formerly-free-acting-course-at-newcastle-theatre-royal-to-cost-1500/, https://www.thestage.co.uk/news/2015/newcastle-theatre-royal-launches-free-one-year-drama-course/?login_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestage.co.uk%2Faccounts%2Fusers%2Fsign_up.popup

    It has had numerous national touring productions (13, Road) -- with it's first year garnering an audience of over 1000 people. Alumni have went on to perform with renowned theatre and film companies, and perhaps most notably Spotlight listed it alongside the likes of RADA and LAMDA in it's very esteemed and exclusive list of accredited drama schools that provide "Quality Actor Training" (ref: http://www.theatreroyalannualreport.co.uk/learning#projecta). This highlights the reality that Project A is one of, if not the only, Northern equivalent to drama school.

    It deserves a separate article as it is breaking from the Theatre Royal into its own Equity/Spotlight approved training institution -- as well as expanding its reach outside of the North East and into Scotland; collaborating with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and LIPA to provide a more national training ground. As one of the few accredited courses in the UK (around 20 exist), I believe that this course is notable in its own right and deserves a page of its own.

    Furthermore, like the RWCMD, many of the final productions are held under the "project a theatre company" banner rather than the Theatre Royal. A separate page will also prevent confusion for users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.0.93.231 (talk) 13:43, 21 December 2017 (UTC) 82.0.93.231 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Keep Though I haven't found any New York Times sources, as pointed out by the user above, many articles don't have that kind of credability. I think that The Stage and Spotlight are creditble enough sources to allow this artcile to exist.

    * Keep WP:1E cannot be fairly applied in certain notable cases. Take Tank Man for instance, was this a case of 1E? Yes, the significance is much bigger in my example, but just to claim that the above mentioned article is 1E but this isn't is not fair. Also, the child gained her notability years before the recent events in a well known video in 2013 or 2012.

      • @Cnzx: The subject of the article was awarded a Turkish award in 2012 as a response for a video that went viral of her standing against a soldier.

    • @Safe My Edit: I am very sceptical to starting any new BLP on en.wp of any person who is critical to Israel, unless such a person is clearly notable. This because I've seen again and again and again that "magically" there will appear editors who will push for including any, absolutely any critical stuff there is about a subject into the article. See Talk:Linda Sarsour to see what I mean. If she continues her activism, then sure, she will one day have her BLP. But now is just too early, IMO, Huldra (talk) 20:31, 23 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Huldra: I am not exactly sure whether you were talking about me in this case or not, but just to be clear I have been a user of Arabic Wikipedia since 2007 and I do have over 10k edits on there (so i am not "magically" here) and I am a very professional in what I do and do not let my personal views affect the quality or violate the rules of the wiki. I treat the subject of the article with complete neutrality. I would NOT have voted to keep the article if I did not see it was fit to be kept on Wikipedia. Please read my comment once more and let's discuss the technicality of it rather than just throwing favoritism and Non-neutrality accusations on each others and hopefully the community will reach a decision about this. Thank you. --Amr (talk) 22:26, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @عمرو:, No, I was definitely not talking about you, (you have never even edited the Linda Sarsour article, AFAIK), I was talking about the fact that some people will fight to have each and every thing which is perceived negative about her, plus a lot of fake news ..like from Michael Oren: [63] into her article. Huldra (talk) 22:07, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Huldra I can expand the article if it is not deleted. I saw some of the "magic" you were talking about: why she slapped the soldiers was conveniently overlooked in the article before I added a sentence.

    • Malia and Sasha Obama do not have their own BLPs because they have not done anything of significance during their lives that the other 31 living children of US presidents don't do. The subject of the article on the other hand, did. She was noticed first in 2013 and was repeatedly mentioned on different occasions since then so she is absolutely not WP:1E IMO. I would not have supported to keep an article about a 30 years old person who stood against a solider, however, when we are talking about a child who have done this multiple times and got noticed enough by the Israeli government to be arrested from her house (an arresting team was sent to her NOT detained during a protest), that becomes completely different story. Tank Man's action are important to be recorded because many people believe it is important although its clear 1E, however, The subject of this article is not. --Amr (talk) 22:39, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Amr, take a look at the other articles in the Wikipedia category "Palestinian activists" and you will be hard-pressed to find someone with coverage as scant as Tamimi. --Jprg1966 (talk) 22:13, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Jprg1966 That is a bad argument. Wikipedia does not count as a WP:RS! IOW, your argument says, like: "Wikipedia does not mention it, so we should not mention it". Also, I find the reasoning by عمرو (Amr) convincing, and pleasant reading. -DePiep (talk) 01:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • re Huldra: These are your responses in this AfD thread: 1 2 3 4 5. In these, apart from mentioning "1E" occasionally, you did not argue on the merits and faults of the article.

    *Redirect for now to List of violent incidents in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, July–December 2017. It is WP:TOOSOON to establish lasting significance warranting an article for her, with coverage too closely tied to one event and not centered in major media. However, the incident in which her cousin was shot and she slapped the soldier would be notable enough for the list I linked to. --Jprg1966 (talk) 21:29, 26 December 2017 (UTC) * Keep  : i think this article must be kept...

    • @Icewhiz: I'm not trying to be snarky, but what are these 6E? I'm having trouble finding anything other than the IDF incident. Frankly, she doesn't even seem to be the most famous person with this name. cnzx (talkcontribs) 05:07, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I will source this shortly (in the article) - but off the top of my head - the incident when she was ~13 and was filmed berating/threatening a group a solders. Her subsequent award from Erdogan (president of Turkey). The incident where she was filmed biting the hand of a soldier attempting to arrest a stronethrower. And the current event. All of these had SIGCOV - that's at least 4E.Icewhiz (talk) 06:08, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Cnzx: I improved the sourcing in the article + added incidents. Note her name in English (and to a lesser extent in Hebrew) has approx. 10 different spelling variations which complicates sourcing.Icewhiz (talk) 06:56, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. She assaulted a soldier. This is not a significant sign of notability. Tankman and the Tiananmen Square helped create a major shift in Chinese society. What she did is not doing the same. The Israel vs. Palestinian conflict did not shift in a perceptible way because of what she did.Knox490 (talk) 05:27, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep Notability to have a WP:STANDALONE article is not decided by what she has or has not done or any such merit. The bar that must be passed is the guideline on general notability: WP:GNG, which is determined by verifying WP:V significant coverage WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS sources. Sources must treat the main subject of the article in depth, beyond WP:TRIVIALMENTION. Imho there are many sources who discuss her and her actions so the subject lives up to GNG.

    • Keep - Tamimi has been covered various times since 2012 and has surpassed just being news or an one-event wonder.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:09, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: there is far more coverage of 'Ahed Tamimi' than 'Ahd Tamimi'. I have therefore moved the page to use this spelling. As Icewhiz notes, there are several spelling variations of her name, so redirects should be added from those variations if the page is kept.Dsp13 (talk) 10:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep per the general reasons given by AadaamS.Dsp13 (talk) 10:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. I am surprised that editors can reduce the week-long developing story to a "1EVENT" second. It was a string of events, with multiple parties involved, and violence (shooting). Then, there are these events in history too (December 2012, August 2015). At this moment the article has 30 RS's, from about 25 outlets. These are not repetitions of a "1E" incident, this is RS coverage of a multi-faceted development. Also, above, AadaamS describes it well. -DePiep (talk) 20:47, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    *Delete for now. She is only 16! ...ok, if she keeps up as she has started, she will sooner or later get a BLP. I would prefer that to be later, rather than sooner. (OK, so I'm extremely conservative when it comes to WP:BLPs, especially in the I/P area. For a reason: Most of the BLPs in the area are completely shitty...)

    I don't think your personal opinion, expressed in saying "completely shitty" and judging by here age only, is how we should judge articles. You expect me to discuss "shitty"-ness? Or your lack of even looking at our basic guidelines? -DePiep (talk) 21:30, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, User:DePiep, I thought this was a new vote, and that we needed to vote again. Basically it is by WP:1E. If you think being arrested in Nabi Salih is something exceptional, then you are mistaken. It is the rule, more than an exception. The same thing happens to hundreds of teenagers every year on the West Bank. Her cousin was also arrested, ...but no-one has asked for an article for her? Huldra (talk) 21:43, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, your "shitty" remark is stroken, but my reply to it still stands. I am still waiting for your first comment that addresses this AfD truly regarding content-versus-guidelines. -DePiep (talk) 23:51, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep per WP:RAPID. The article was only newly created and then nominated for deletion only one day after the arrest. It has now been 11 days since the arrest and there is still continuing coverage so the AfD seems somewhat premature. This person has had coverage in the news since 2012 (also showing WP:PERSISTENCE) so WP:1E doe not apply. -- Millionsandbillions (talk) 19:14, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep -- I see developing WP:PERSISTENCE. There are editorials such as Why is the West praising Malala, but ignoring Ahed? by Al Jazeera, etc. The legal case against Tamimi continues, so we are likely to see continued coveraged. Keep for now; reassess perhaps in 6 mo, if needed. K.e.coffman (talk) 22:59, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Speedy keep per AadaamS. On a side note, the discussion immediatly turned political and most people here don't really care about wikipedia rules, they only argue due to their personal opinion on the subject. Which is sad. Really sad. Keep the article, let people who want to read about her, read about her in peace. Karl.i.biased (talk) 02:53, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      If you look at the D !votes they are actually from both sides of the political divide, as are the Ks. I think there is more of a matter of her being a borderline minor as well as the initial article appearing to be 1Eish (since rectified).Icewhiz (talk) 05:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • WP:HEYMANN although I wasn't the only contributor, I have expanded this article to the point that anyone voting delete is ignoring five years of coverage and the lasting impact of this latest incident. I fear systematic bias may be a partial cause. مصعب I am at a loss; have you not seen the recent English-speaking sources (not that there is a requirement) written by the NYT, the Post, the Guardian, Time magazine, etc? Similar sources also exist for the 2015 incident and even 2012 when Ahed first gained attention.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 19:46, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the information that is included here is very notable and definitely needs to be kept because of it's extensive coverage in the news. I had tried editing the Bassem_al-Tamimi article to included information relevant to this article too, but was prevented from making changes. It might be best to have a single article on the whole al-Tamimi family, but that might not be a realistic option either. OtterAM (talk) 20:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. Whether or not you approve of her actions, she has repeatedly been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources since 2012. She is not known for one event, but for repeatedly confronting Israeli soldiers since the age of 11. Whether other young people have an article is irrelevant. She is not a private person, as her actions are deliberate public protests. Fences&Windows 20:48, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep – Exactly as Fences&Windows wrote. Ahed's actions make her a symbol for youth activism. Totorotroll (talk) 12:24, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep has gained significant notability internationally. Whether this is in the English-speaking community or not is irrelevant, this argument is an example of systemic bias, see WP:BIAS. PatGallacher (talk) 22:24, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep - She was awarded the "Hanzala Award for Courage" by Mahmoud Abbas in 2012, so how can she be notable just for the 2017 event? The article needs reorganization badly as well. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:26, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - I also see a strong case for WP:PERSISTENCE, however, at the moment I think it is too premature to be deleted, her court case will be fairly high profiled and she will remain in the news for a while. I also see merit in the argument for merging her article with articles on the other members of the Tamimi family. Jp16103 20:32, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
