I have serious doubts this biography meets WP:PROF. I've looked at [1] and the numbers seem on the low side. I'll ping User:Randykitty for a second opinions. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 23:42, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Citations, as Piotrus surmised, way too low to indicate notability. Horrible resume-like article does little to indicate any notability and, in fact, associate/assistant profs rarely are notable. Fails WP:PROF, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 08:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not delete: "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Academics Additionally, full CV is quoted, with significant amount of academic functions especially regarding the age (dismissing the argument on ranking and notability - assuming that Piotrus and Randykitty have little knowledge of (especially Slovenian) education system), According to publication activity in the national context the person in question is ranked (on this day) on 7th (out of first 100) position among Slovenian political scientists (International relations, Defence studies, Communication studies and narrow political science) (leaving behind many full professors) based on publication outcome, shares 11th position on number of articles in web of Science, and is on 33th position (competing with the people who are in academia much longer time than him) based on number of quotations without auto quotations (info can daily change based on new publications entered to the system - source: SICRIS/WOS). If the data is retrieved for narrow field of political science (politology) his ranking is higher. 4th by publication scoring, 2nd by number of WOS publications, 10th by number of quotations without auto quotations, and 7th based on h-index. He was present in national media - despite these mentions are under actual relevance, since commenting the daily events is far from the actual work.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Colcody2000 (talk • contribs) 06:32, January 16, 2017 (UTC)

Not delete: based on the logic (not the rules) presented by the request - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Matth%C3%A4us (article exists, despite: google scholar does not return even the first searches on him or his topic (however, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics) - there is a warning of citation metrics as reliable), the Matthaus article is under-referenced, etc etc. - Argument: I believe that notability issue should be taken in the perspective of the local context (I was proving this part before), with certain level of reservation due to the different standards. However, things shall be documented (I was trying to support the article in question with reliable sources). I was somehow, trying to make some additional argument on the issue raised - it is easy to write delete - no quotations but takes bit more time on reading the things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Colcody2000 (talk • contribs) 13:23, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability, no significant coverage in reliable sources beyond the college newspaper. Largely unreferenced; removing all unreferenced content in this BLP would amount to turning it into a one-line stub. Huon (talk) 21:41, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. This was small boat that was never commissioned into the USN: the title of the article seems misleading. As such, there's no reason to think that it's notable. Nick-D (talk) 07:10, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- It never actually sailed under that name. Even if it did, it would be a NN vessel. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:37, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- A few years ago, to improve Wikipedia′s rather sparse coverage of the U.S. Navy in World War I, I embarked on a solo effort to develop an entire series of articles on the vast section patrol program of incorporating civilian ships and craft into the Navy. (Wikipedia's coverage of the U.S. Navy is very biased toward the American Civil War, World War II, and very recent naval operations.) I wrote hundreds of articles covering the various boats and ships, and Wikipedia's coverage now is more or less complete, subject to new sources of information arising. A few of the ships and craft appear in Navy and other records under the name and SP numbers they would have had if they had been commissioned, but they never were. For the sake of completeness and to eliminate all confusion, I included these in my project when I could find out enough about them to do so. Their notability derives from the association with the section patrol program, not from their individual histories. It always disappoints me to see the nomination of real history articles for deletion when Wikipedia retains so many trivial articles on science fiction characters and video games and whatnot, but if this really is taking up too much room on a server and needs to be deleted, then please ensure you retain the knowledge imparted in the deleted article by including all relevant information on a shipindex or other page elsewhere in Wikipedia so that knowledge of the vessel is not lost. If you are not going to do that, then please leave the article alone. Mdnavman (talk) 13:41, 9 January 2017 (UTC)mdnavman[reply]
Keep It's obvious the article isn't very notable but deletion is unwarranted. The article is very neatly put together and presentable with all appropriate sourcing and article layout. The above comments by mdnavman are further applicable reasons for keep. Brad (talk) 15:48, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Entry in the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships seems to establish a fair claim to notability. Also, I agree with Brad101, the article seems useful to the encyclopedia, as what would be the point of removing or redlinking the ship at List of United States Navy ships: W–Z and elsewhere. Smmurphy^(Talk) 18:32, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Smmurphy: But that is a dictionary, and Wikipedia is definitely not a dictionary. Thus a few sentences describing it does not establish notability. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 00:23, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Iazyges: It is called dictionary, but it goes quite in depth on many of its entries. For instance, the next boat is the witek and has a much longer entry. Also, for biographies, an individual with an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography is generally considered suitable for inclusion in wikipedia. I'm not sure if the same sort of thing should be true for ships, but I don't immediately see why not. Smmurphy^(Talk) 15:45, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. The ship, quite simply, does not have the sources necessary to establish notability. The only reliable source that seems to exist is the Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships entry, and that merely is a couple sentence description that does nothing but proves existence. The above arguments for Keep seem to largely be based around WP:NOHARM and WP:OTHERSTUFF, and don't really address the central problem with the article, in that it simply does not meet the GNG. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 21:32, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are in fact, more sources than DANFS, and the article cites them; the Naval History and Heritage Command includes photographic coverage of the vessel on a separate page devited to it (the link to it was broken along with the links to all the DANFS articles when the NHHC changed its Web page structure a number of years ago, but the page is still out there), and navsource.org also has a page as part of its coverage of the section patrol program. Again, the significance arises out of the vessel′s association with a major United States Navy program of 1917-1918, not out of its particular history. If there is some storage problem on Wikipedia servers that precludes individual articles for all the vessels in the program, then I could understand deletion, but I doubt that there is a storage problem. Complete deletion is in any event inappropriate, because deletion actually removes supporting information for the broader coverage of the section patrol program. If having a separate article offends, then instead of deletion, moving of all the information contained in the article to a shipindex artcle or perhaps a list article of some type ("List of Section patrol craft," or something like that), would be more appropriate, with links to extant lists of U.S. Navy patrol craft and so on. Given the amount of work involved in all that, it's easier – and probably better serves Wikipedia users – to just leave it alone. Besides, it's doubtful that the tiny sample size of this discussion can give us a useful gauge of worldwide Wikipedia editors and users and, given that, I think the opinion of those more interested in the details of U.S. Navy history ought to prevail over bureaucratic interpretations of blanket Wikipedia guidelines that are open to - and intended to be open to - interpretation. Absent overwhelming evidence to the contrary - and this small a discussion size does not give us the sample size with which to generate such evidence - it would seem that WP:NOHARM should apply.

(*Edit: Just for clarity, I am the same individual as the IP above. I just remembered that I'm posting on a different computer, and I want to make clear that I'm not attempted to vote twice or anything)

Again, the sources you are bringing up do nothing but prove that the ship existed, not that it was notable or significant in any way. Your argument that it should be kept because it was part of the section patrol is also invalid, as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. The program may have been notable, but that does not automatically confer notability to every element, and every minor ship, that was ever associated with it. If you want to argue that the information should be merged or that a separate list should be created to index them all, that is certainly a possibility, but so far, there has been no valid arguments that this particular ship comes even remotely close to meeting the WP:GNG needed to be kept as its own article. Saying that it is of interest to those with interest in U.S. Naval history is a WP:ILIKEIT argument, which, like the rest of the argument here are not addressing why this article was brought before AFD, which is because it simply is not notable and does not have any sources that come even remotely close to showing anything other than the fact that it existed. 75.82.28.71 (talk) 19:39, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Brad101 and Mdnavman. DarjeelingTea (talk) 22:34, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If the article is kept, can we all agree to move the article so that USS is no longer in the title? As it was never commissioned it doesn't get the title, which is only given to commissioned ships. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 16:36, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete because I do not consider the entry in the Dictionary constitues significant coverage ("directly and in detail"). Further, that is also only one source, and the WP:GNG requires coverage in sources, plural, even going on to clarify: Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability. The 'keep' arguments all seem to be along the lines of WP:INTERESTING, WP:LOOKSGOOD etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amisom (talk • contribs) 13:58, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for questionable notability since 2011. I was unable to find significant coverage of this publisher in reliable third-party sources so I think it fails WP:GNG. I may be wrong though: since the publisher is in Belarus, one might expect coverage in Belarusian and Russian using the Cyrillic alphabet but that's hard for me to search.

Singapore National Day Parade, 2016[edit]

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

I do not see the notability of each individual parade. IMHO this appears to be a WP:NOTAWEBHOST violation as the individual parade pages seem to just be listing the lineups and in some cases the hour by hour timeline. I don't question that the parade itself is notable but I think all these individual pages should be deleted ~~merged to Singapore National Day Parade~~.

Speedy keep under WP:SK, first limb:- The nominator doesn't want to delete the content, they want to redirect it. WP:MERGEPROP is the way to go about this.—S Marshall T/C 00:57, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For a large scale redirect proposal such as this, I think AFD is the correct venue. This definitely needs more discussion and merge proposals on the article pages often don't get any input. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:24, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, the policy is at WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT. Read the policy, and you will know that one choice is an RfC. Unscintillating (talk) 05:44, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep WP:SK#1 or wrong venue No argument for deletion. Also see WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT. Unscintillating (talk) 04:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTAWEBHOST is an argument for deletion here. If I am not wrong, the merge proposed by Zackmann08 seems to be more like a compromise solution. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:39, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Do you agree that the nomination statement, "I think all these individual pages should be merged", proposes a merge? Unscintillating (talk) 15:04, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see the notability of each individual parade. IMHO this appears to be a WP:NOTAWEBHOST violation as the individual parade pages seem to just be listing the lineups and in some cases the hour by hour timeline. is a pretty valid deletion rationale. Whether a merge is proposed after this doesn't change the fact that the original (and preferred intention) seems to be that the pages should not be retained. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 18:51, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@S Marshall, Unscintillating, and Lemongirl942: Valid points made all around. Let me clarify. I am proposing that the individual pages be deleted. The point I was trying to make was that I do think the parade itself is notable and there is probably a few sentences from each page that can be used in the main article. But since these are BIG pages with lots of content I am suggesting deleting I felt that WP:AFD was a more appropriate venue. If these were just 2 similar pages to be merged to one, I would agree that it would be more of a merge discussion. That isn't the case here. I am saying that 11 pages should be deleted as not individually notable. Does that make sense? Please ping me if further clarification is needed. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not an argument for deletion. For WP:DEL8, you also have to explain why the article can be neither merged nor redirected; which it appears that you think that it can be merged, and you aren't that familiar with notability deletion. By your new statement, you would be proposing a license violation by merging content and then deleting the attribution (see WP:MAD). Unscintillating (talk) 20:21, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's a way around that. If we merge the content to one page then normally we keep the previous page as a redirect in order to give the original contributors credit and thereby comply with our Terms of Use. If we turn those titles into a redlink instead, then an administrator could perform a history merge into the new title before deleting the old one -- quite a complicated merge, in fact, because there are so many pages going into one. However, it's a laborious and fiddly task, and the sysop who we ask to do it will no doubt ask why we can't just use redirects.—S Marshall T/C 20:24, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Unscintillating: what do you mean notability is not an argument for deletion?? It is usually the principal argument... I would like to point out I am TRYING to do this the right way. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 20:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is a test to determine if a topic should be standalone; where alternates for non-notable topics include redirection, and deletion is at WP:DEL8.

Delete. It starts with some unsourced (but reasonable) statements about the history of different musical scales being used, then suddenly veers into bizarre health claims, which form the bulk of the article. Most of the "Today" section talks about a single person who is described as a biological researcher, but who was in the Philosophy department (if the dead link is accurate), and who has no published biology papers that I can find. The only references are to her own works. The claims of health effects are not supported, and I cannot find reliable sources that report such research. --Gronk Oz (talk) 02:34, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The concept of certain frequencies affecting the body exists, and whether it is true or baseless, it warrants an article. See here and here. However, much of the article should be removed as rubbish/promotional. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Stubbify - As Cwmhiraeth notes, the concept may warrant an article; but not his one. The "Background" section merely recapitulates material presented in scientific pitch, and the "Today" section is poorly sourced and promotional.

Wikipedia does not have and never has had an article on the topic. I am going to guess that you mean something like a "distance education".

Biography of non-notable author. The article was created in AfC and the submission was denied, after which it was moved to mainspace without any modifications. The creator of the draft and the editor who moved the article into mainspace seem to have tag-teamed in a similar way on a few different articles, another one of which is also in AfD at the moment.

Be that as it may, the question is notability, and I can't find any. There is a lot of praise for the author in the article, but none of it is sourced and when I look for sources I only find things like Goodreads and Linkedin and Amazon.com - nothing secondary at all, and nothing that remotely satisfies WP:NAUTHOR or WP:GNG. bonadea contributions talk 13:29, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Despite the overwhelming majority of "keep" votes, their arguments are generally extremely weak, focusing on such things as political views, personal interest in the topic, humor value, and mighty exaggerations ("worldwide recognition", "will live eternally", "impact on the world"). Many (most?) participants are users with very few local edits who appear to have wandered over from the Polish Wikipedia.

But some do. This certainly is one that should be mentioned in the list of political gaffes. Most items in that list link to a (sub)section within another article where the blunder is explained. The biography of Waszczykowski would be fitting for such a solution. However, some items in the list have their very own entries, such as fuddle duddle and We begin bombing in five minutes. I guess if there is significant coverage and controversy surrounding a gaffe, it merits its own article, otherwise there may be room for it inside another article. I would certainly call the coverage significant, with national media around the world including both the NYT and TWP covering it. For me the question is rather whether it's enough for an independent article or not, and if not, I suggest the entry Waszczykowski is the best place to put it. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 08:07, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Local curiosity. Temporary prank. Short-lived. Irrelevant. MOs810 (talk) 22:15, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep:
- The arguments "will be completely forgotten in a month." or "short-lived." are not acceptable by Wikipedia's guidelines as it forgets that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. As editors to Wikipedia, we may not make edits based solely on speculation or prediction. Although this most often means that we should not make speculative changes that add to the content of an article, this also applies to edits such as removal of content based solely off of speculation.
- Evaluating its "relevance" is also a rather poor argument against having the article; we've got an entire subcategory of articles on the topic of fictional countries dedicated solely to "middle earth realms" with fifty-one articles. (point being: as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia allows readers to find articles in a range of importance; that is including but not limited to low-importance ones.)
- In the event that this article's topic does become "completely forgotten" in a month, that does not warrant its deletion. We've got several articles dedicated to various individual memes that took place only during the United States 2016 Presidential Primaries, all of which were short lived. (For example, an article is dedicated solely to the "Bernie Sanders' Dank Meme Stash" FaceBook page)
- The article does utilize viable sources and cites them appropriately; if it is poorly written, that is subject to change without deletion.
- In the event that this becomes short-lived, the worst-case scenario is that this article lacks the attention that it during its status as "viral."

The gaffe has received widespread international coverage so we can't delete it.

- ~~Keep:~~ In response to the statement "Come back in fifty years when there are responsible books (secondary sources) written that examine this." That's not how Wikipedia works. If that were the case, we'd have to delete every article from Harambe to Bernie or Hillary?. I think you're misreading WP:NOTNEWS. "Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories." means that Wikipedia itself is not a first-hand source of news; that does not mean that Wikipedia may not cite outside reports of news, especially online ones. If it was necessary to cite physical books, an online encyclopedia like Wikipedia could not exist. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 03:02, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - @BrendonTheWizard: Yes, with less than six months editing I'm sure you know all about Wikipedia. Thing is, had you kept reading you'd see that "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion" (emphasis mine). You say "If that were the case, we'd have to delete every article from Harambe to Bernie or Hillary?" and that's where we ought to be headed. Dear internet, Wikipedia is not a fan site where you can write about the stuff you thought was funny. Chris Troutman (talk) 03:08, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Chris troutman: Attacking a user rather than their argument doesn't add to your argument. I wouldn't recommend using ableism to defend your point. As for WP:NOTFANSITE, it's worth noting that this rule means "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought" and relates to original research, personal inventions, personal essays, and discussions. I have doubts that we are to be headed towards a Wikpedia free of users "writing about stuff they thought was funny" when Wikipedia has categories and subcategories dedicated solely to memes, fictional countries, viral content from social media, etc. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 03:25, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep:~~ I've already casted a !vote but I'd also like to add that our San Serriffe article has existed since 2003. San Serriffe, like San Escobar, is a fictitious country that originated as a news story, but by Wikipedia's guidelines has survived thirteen years of peer review and editing without being challenged for deletion and to start now would be inconsistent. San Escobar is no different and to assert that this fictional country should be deleted could arguably be considered hypocrisy. To delete both San Escobar and San Serriffe would be to start a purge against the well-established category of fictional countries. San Escobar is simply an addition to the category that it belongs in. BrendonTheWizard (talk) 04:17, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I personally got countless invitations to join it's "official website" and needed to look it up (got to Wikipedia) to find out what it was all about.

~~Keep; do not merge to Witold Waszczykowski.~~ It is worth noting that this article contains more content than the Witold Waszczykowski article and all references on that article are about San Escobar. If we merge this article into his, then the Witold Waszczykowski article would essentially be a San Escobar article. His article as-is is a stub compared to this one.

Unsourced with no context and no indication of notability. Just a list of names. No reason to have a list of draft picks for every year, particularly in this format. Fails WP:GNG. Also see WP:SPORTCRIT. Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 01:42, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Pro lacrosse may not be most editors' interest but it's a notable professional sport followed closely by interested media, and its drafts are well covered. <"national lacrosse league" draft> yields almost 2000 hits in GNews and 750 hits in HighBeam. There is no good reason to wipe out this sourceable content, which is similar to the draft content we have for other sports leagues. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:15, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Arxiloxos: this is nothing against Lacrosse but the entire page is just a list of names... Compare it to 2014 NBA draft which not only has over 100 sources, but has actual content. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 05:34, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree these are not well done, and I also have to apologize for a lapse of attention in my prior post about which lacrosse league we're discussing here; I've corrected the findsources link above. I do think these pages are sourceable and improvable, given the hundreds of news hits that can be seen at GNews and HighBeam and full coverage in sources like uslaxmagazine.com. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:11, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lack notability. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 21:29, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Google search turns up a number of sources reporting on the drafts. A number of colleges seem to think it's important enough to report in their university news (LeMoyne, Marquette, UPENN), draft picks have been reported on by local news (Syracuse), and you could even watch the 2015 draft live on ESPN. And that's just the first page of google results. I think, as a group, they are suitable for inclusion. Wugapodes [t^hɔk] [ˈkan.ˌʧɻɪbz] 09:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hui-Hai Liu[edit]

In February of 2016, I added comments about Notability and COI to Talk:Hui-Hai_Liu:

There are no secondary sources that indicate that the person is notable. The article fulfills none of the requirements of WP:NACADEMICS.

The article was created from a editor who was not logged in. Most of the edits are from editors who were not logged in. The ones I checked seem to be from the San Francisco area. To improve this article, it would be helpful if there were more edits from editors who used named accounts.

Thus, I propose that this article be deleted.

Keep She won the Miss Minnesota Pageant in 1992. She's also a broadcaster as well as worked as a television reporter and meteorologist on four different stations, KSTP-TV, KARE-11 TV, WCCO-TV and KMSP TV. [this is a 3rd party source] 208.79.11.74 (talk) 05:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How is that actually satisfying our own policies? Especially when the only listed source above is a clear PR? SwisterTwister talk 05:58, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Just from reading the nomination, the topic is known publicly for roles in broadcasting, and we can assume based on newer related internet results that the topic received international attention for competing in the Miss America contest. Anyone appearing on public broadcast television on a major television station such as ABC KSTP, NBC KARE-11, CBS WCCO-TV, and Fox KMST has attracted the attention of the world at large over a period of time and is prima facie notable. Further, these two factors combine in determining notability.
WP:BEFORE D1 shows that the topic is found in two Google books, 2014 and 2015. [22] is a five-paragraph follow-up in 2014 that I found by searching for "Jo Rathmanner". That source states, "After winning the 1992 Miss Minnesota pageant, she competed at the 1993 Miss America Pageant and was selected as a talent winner for her performance on the fiddle. Rathmanner worked for news stations, including KTTC-TV in Rochester, in the the 1990s and 2000s before moving into teaching...'The [Miss America] program allowed me...the opportunity to play my fiddle in hundreds of different venues.'

Comment -- these 35 citations do not amount to notability; this is still an article on an unremarkable subject. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:44, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Right, citations don't necessarily determine GNG notability, as they can include primary sources. But that is not what I said. 35 citations indicates quality of workmanship and attention to WP:V.
As for your words, "unremarkable subject", WP:N states, "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity". Whether or not the sources should have remarked on the topic, they have done so. Unscintillating (talk) 03:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with WP:NOT as we're not a model listing and the article is based only from her mere participation in these events, not that there was otherwise significance in or apart from them, hence not substantial, and the information shows the career is still only based in this, thus too soon. As always, there's been consensus this would be best suited as part of a list, instead of separately. SwisterTwister talk 05:52, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rachel Latuff[edit]

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

Latuff was Miss Minnesota, but this is not enough to establish notability. Pretty much everything here is either the fairly local coverage from the Hastings Paper of the Mesabi Region Paper, coverage from internal Miss America organization sites, or one source is to her employer a local school district in Minnesota. We would need something either showing widespread notice either beyond the time of this one event or outside of Minnesota, notice that is substantial coverage (I put that because in other discussions people think a one line mention in a tabloid article about Miss America contestant actions is enough, and it is not), and my search for more sources on google came up with neither of those. John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:21, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not Miss Minnesota by itself establishes notability, it is a title recognized in many places worldwide.
Dravecky wrote this to the existing GNG standard in which Minnesota sources are fine. They still are.
There is no "widespread notice" requirement.
Regarding the "one event" argument, the topic has been getting coverage since 2012 and a new article appeared in January 2017, and it has been explained more than once that Miss America contestants are always multiple events, including preliminary contests, the state pageant contest, multiple appearances during a one-year reign as titleholder, and an appearance at Miss America.
And if notability is your concern, you can reorganize the topics so that they aren't in standalone articles...see WP:IGNORINGATD. Unscintillating (talk) 02:32, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously notable. Won Miss Delaware and will compete in Miss America, clearly significant in her field. Over 20 sources in the article and a google news search returns 87, many of which are not trivial coverage and focus on more than just one event: take this story about her 3 months after she won Miss Delaware published in the state capitol's daily newspaper.

- Winning Miss Delaware and competing in Miss America are all one event. The state capitol of Delaware is a very small city, its daily newspaper not very significant. The clear turn of discussion on this issue as shown when it was discussed on the beauty pageants wikiproject page is that the coverage needs to be either non-local, or to go beyond coverage of beauty pageants, which the coverage here does not do.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:55, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- non notable state-level pageant career; per prior outcomes, such articles are routinely deleted. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:41, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE, which states, "Simply stating that the subject of an article is not notable does not provide reasoning as to why the subject may not be notable.
WP:IGNORINGATD further states, "The fact that a topic is not notable is not, in and of itself, valid grounds for deleting a page, its content, or its history. If merger and/or redirection is feasible in a given case, either is preferable to deletion. To validly argue for deletion, editors need to additionally advance separate arguments against both merger and redirection, on relevant grounds." Unscintillating (talk) 22:50, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as only claims of significance are for participation which itself means nothing since these events have such different levels, nearly anyone could have an article at their basis, even ones who never advanced to the next events, hence not significant.

Keep A review of Google News shows that the 2017 Miss America contestants, specifically including the topic here, got coverage in USA Today, Yahoo India News, Canada, Germany's Welt and more than one UK outlet. Note that it is not necessary to refute the assertion that coverage is local, because local coverage contributes to notability under WP:GNG. I did some minor cleanups on the article. Unscintillating (talk) 23:11, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Is this "being covered" in the UK press something like this [23] article from the daily mail, with a picture of Debus emphasizing her shoes? This is not the type of significant coverage notability is built on.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what your point is, so you need to explain the relevance. When I search Google News for "Amanda Debus" "Daily Mail" I get three articles: 10 July 2015, 8 September 2016, and 10 September 2016. Unscintillating (talk) 01:09, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My point is the standard is significant mention, not passing mention. These are all passing mentions, not significant coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:33, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG doesn't use the term "passing mention" or "significant mention". Nor does WP:GNG require prose. It says, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention..." While the coverage in any one picture with a caption in WP:GNG terms is minimal, it is not trivial...it is direct and detailed.
I looked at the 10 July 2015 article, and in there you can see facial blemishes in the "nomakeup" picture. The point for notability remains that there are two closeup pictures of the topic, with captions, in an overseas newspaper. Unscintillating (talk) 03:10, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures with captions are never enough to make someone notable. Being able to see "facial blemishes" is not at all a plus. If people actually paid attention to the value of arguments this article would have already been deleted.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:52, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This argument does not refute the point that this one British article is minimal WP:GNG significant coverage, and thus contributes to WP:GNG notability; WP:GNG states, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."
The argument seems to agree that while that is what the GNG guideline says, anyone reading this AfD should just know what the GNG should be saying. But if that is correct, why not state what the GNG should be saying? Unscintillating (talk) 02:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unremarkable actress. Google search finds mostly social media hits and this Wikipedia article. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:39, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - she seems as remarkable as any :) Deosthale has coverage in several major newspapers: [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], and some interviews that help less [30]. [31], [32]. Yvarta (talk) 18:53, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I note only one reasonable reference in the lot (4). See below analysis. Nothing suggests that WP:NACTOR criteria are met.--Rpclod (talk) 22:44, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

1. Discusses 5 things about the actress like ... she is close to her mother. Nothing indicates notability and this is basically a press release.

2. Just talks about the actress fainting and being told to get bed rest. Again, agent talking to bored reporter.

3. Mentions the subject once in passing and does not indicate any notability.

4. Good reference about a particular role for the subject in a TV show.

5. Maratha Warrior King, Paras Arora, denies dating subject. Even if he was, what actor is not dating a starlet?

6. Rehash of 2.

I would agree some of this content matter is rather "silly" or human interest-focused rather than full of gravitas. That said, the editorial staffs of major newspapers found her notable enough to assign paid reporters to rustle up articles on her, and the coverage in each case is more than passing. Excluding perhaps 3. Yvarta (talk) 23:03, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add that since she has worked in 4 popular shows, and played female leads in two. Thus, she should be given recognition for her work in Indian television. Could you please explain why you think she's an unremarkable actress? Robert McClenon (talk) Sikhwarriorspirit (talk) 22:12, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are asking the nominator to prove a negative? If you think she is notable, per the WP:NACTOR criteria, please add suitable authoritative references to the article. The question is not whether the actress is "unremarkable", but whether the subject is notable. No references indicate that.--Rpclod (talk) 01:08, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Rpclod, perhaps you could explain how the Times of India and India Today aren't authoritative? Yvarta (talk) 18:25, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:GNG, evidence of notability is provided by "significant coverage in reliable sources". I am not saying that those sources do not qualify as reliable sources in general. However, context and significance are also important. Entertainment tabloid style coverage in otherwise reliable sources is often not "significant" - especially where it appears to have been placed by a publicist. Much coverage listed is trivial and not substantive. Please note that I have not !voted because the subject could be notable, I have just not found significant coverage that proves notability. Frankly, I would love to see better references in the article that do show notability, especially regarding the issues that Gab4gab discusses below.--Rpclod (talk) 20:41, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I generally see your point. However, "appears to be written by a publicist" I think should not be relevant, because in these articles, the authors credited are not publicists, but paid reporters with traceable credentials. If a journalist writes an article in a reliable source that we subjectively feel seems akin to tabloid fodder, that is simply our subjective opinion as editors, not an actual judgement on the usability of the article. Otherwise, anyone could randomly argue that "any" article seems like it was written by a PR agent, and attempt to use that as a subjective rationale for removal of sourced information.

comment thanks for cutting down the list and not renominating the Namibia team. I will note that WP:SPORTCRIT does not apply to sports teams, so it is not relevant.

Which discussions were those? Because if world championship pages were deleted than that definitely needs to go for a new discussion.

Never mind the fact that the individual pages for the IIHF competitions themselves were deemed notable and have been kept as well as the template for these championships. Why lie here?

Keep meets WP:GNG and has significant coverage independent of the subject (in the local newspaper)

Shortcuts

WP:GNG
WP:SIGCOV

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.

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
- The book-length history of IBM by Robert Sobel is plainly non-trivial coverage of IBM.
- Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton,^[1] that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band.
"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
"Sources"^[2] should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.^[3] Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
"Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.^[4]
"Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.^[5]

If a topic does not meet these criteria but still has some verifiable facts, it might be useful to discuss it within another article. Getmefoodbb (talk) 12:00, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Might be best that the article is sandboxed until he plays, as the Wolfpack have a better squad than some SL squads and other comparable sports and their rationales.Fleets (talk) 13:38, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The sources present in the article, as written, are not enough to demonstrate that the topic has received the depth or breadth of coverage necessary to pass WP:GNG. #1 is a user-generated database that includes all players on any rugby league team that exists at all, and is thus not a source that can assist notability; #2 is a routine piece of human interest coverage in his local hometown newspaper, at a time when he was still only aspiring to play at any level higher than the local high school league; and #3 just namechecks his existence a single time in an article which is not about him. A person does not automatically pass GNG the moment one or two reliable sources make it possible to nominally verify that he exists — the context in which the coverage is being given still has to satisfy the subject-specific notability criterion for his field of endeavour. The sourcing shown here is simply not good enough to hand him a GNG pass, if the only source that's substantively about him is local coverage in a "local teen aspires to be famous someday" context.
User:Getmefoodbb is also advised that in future, it is not appropriate to cut and paste the entire text of a notability guideline statement into the AFD discussion verbatim — you merely link to that statement. Bearcat (talk) 19:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
