Minor politician never elected to office (see politician notability guideline), not the subject of significant coverage, potentially undeclared conflict of interest (User:Scottandrewhutchins has 30k edits, so I'd assume somewhat familiar with the guidelines...), no suitable redirect targets. czar 23:23, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Being a non-winning candidate for political office does not get a person an article per WP:NPOL — and his notability claim as a writer is not referenced to media coverage about his writing, but to content where he was the bylined author of coverage about something else, which is not how you demonstrate a writer's notability either.

No evidence of any notability for this company/product. Refs show that it exists and that the product has been included in two scientific trials (but not discussed in the two papers).

This article appears to fail WP:NFILM. Though it does have a listing in IMDB it is relatively thin in terms of information and, as noted in the notability guidelines, this does not confer notability in itself. A further Google search also provides very little information. Finally this article is an orphan with neither any individuals or the production company have an article further enhancing the fact it isn't notable.

  • Delete, does not function as a dab page. It looks like an attempt at a broad-concept article, but the article at Trackway essentially already is one. —Xezbeth (talk) 07:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it functions neither as DAB page nor as an article and, having checked, there's nothing significant in it that isn't in Trackway. On the latter page I've then added a See Also hatnote to the DAB page, Track. Nick Moyes (talk) 16:13, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:2DABS, a hatnote is preferable when there are only two topics and one is at the primary page. Whether a move is requested at some point is a separate issue, as it stands there is a primary page, from which a reader needs to click on a hatnote to a dab, then click on another link to get to the politician's article. Instead the reader could see instantly what other articles there are of this name (that there is just the one) and click on the hatnote to a direct link. No benefit to this circular route. Boleyn (talk) 19:54, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed PROD. No real claim to notability, even a badly sourced one. No sources out there that I found worth anything, and the ones present aren't anything to write home about. Appears to be a fairly mid to low level political participant, activist, or volunteer, and does not seem to have actually been elected to, or for that matter run for any public office.

While international matches in other sports also get lots of coverage (announcement,n broadcast; match reports, mentioned in next matches), they usually aren't considered notable for Wikipedia (a World Cup final is notable, but e.g. qualification matches for the world cup are not notable even if they are decisive or mark the first appearance of a country or something similar: only exceptional cases are considered notable matches, and even the game that started the Football War doesn't have an article (yet: it probably could get one).

So, why would this single test match be notable contrary to what we generally accept for other sports? See WP:SPORTSEVENT Fram (talk) 14:38, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It will be Afghanistan's first ever Test match. If you have a working knowledge of cricket you will understand that this is a big event due to the ICC being so miserly in handing out Test status. Since say post WW2 only four countries have made their Test debut and two of them (Pakistan and Bangladesh) were already part of country that had Test status before they became independent. That's just the background though, from a Wikipedia perspective it's a notable match because it has significant coverage in independent reliable sources (a handful of these are already demonstrated in the article that was only created a couple of hours ago). Jenks24 (talk) 14:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Any reason why any of this applies to cricket and not to other sports? Significant coverage in independent sources is available for every single official international soccer match, but we have a rule (which is fairly strictly applied) not to create articles on these. In fact, this seems to apply to every team sport but cricket. We e.g. don't have an article on the first match of Italy as part of the Six Nations, or any other "first" of the kind. Why the exception for cricket? Fram (talk) 15:07, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I would assume because of the way that cricket is structured, generally as tours between two nations. Italy's first match as part of the Six Nations would no doubt be covered at the 2000 Six Nations Championship article (I would argue that their first match, a win against Scotland, is probably notable but that is really neither here nor there for the purposes of this discussion). But for cricket there isn't really a greater tournament this is part of, this is it and it's notable in its own right. Most tours like this involve more than one match, that this one only has one is mainly due to the unique nature of the occasion. And following on from the rugby example, you'll see that like in cricket most tours seem to have their own articles, eg 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand or 2013 Australia national rugby union team tour of Great Britain, Ireland and Italy. More than likely an example could be found of a one-match tour but rugby union is not really my forte. Jenks24 (talk) 15:20, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Seems rather overkill to have these "tour" articles as well. Dutch cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2017–18 are basically three friendly international matches in a row (against same team, in same location). At least the one under discussion here has the distinction of being Afghanistan first Test (which might put it across the "something really special" threshold), but all these others? Yes, rugby (which I brought up first, stupidly ;-) ) has these tour articles as well. I guess some closer look at many of them may be needed. Looking at International cricket in 2016–17, these tours are very common (some 50 between September and March). Fram (talk) 16:20, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • They're not really friendlies in the sense that soccer (football) have them. There is nowhere else for this clearly well-covered (in reliable sources) topic to go, unless you want to condense those 50 articles you've mentioned into one gigantic page. Probably the most notable cricket matches outside of a world cup (considering Pakistan and India don't tour each other anymore) are happening this summer and they'll be written up at English cricket team in Australia in 2017–18. This is largely what international cricket is, apart from a world cup every four years that the majority of teams involved don't even need to qualify for. Jenks24 (talk) 17:30, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep pretty much per Jenks24. Ignoring the fact that this will be a full international tour by two teams with Test match status (not "test"), this will be the first Test match played by Afghanistan. That alone will meet WP:GNG. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:34, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as having already passed GNG and clearly being the kind of thing which will continue to exceed that standard.

If all the unsourced content currently in this article is removed (in addition to the content that would basically be a product listing or technical manual even if was well sourced), there's really not enough here for even a stand alone section, much less a stand alone article. There's some mentions in books, but a lot of it seems to be about literally any other topic, including recycling, fertilizer, and apparently metallurgy. There's passing mention here, but it just passing mention and nothing more.
Even then, a redirect may not survive indefinitely if someone decides to write an article on single stream recycling, which seems to overall have a good deal more coverage than this topic (e.g., [11], [12]). Although I'm still not totally sure if there's enough to write a stand alone article on that either. GMGtalk 13:15, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This appears to be one company's terminology for something many companies offer (my best man works for one). The description here is a lightly rewritten version of the article on the company's page, which is where anyone searching this term would want to end up anyway.

I do not think that this article merits deletion (or even nomination for deletion) under Wikipedia's Articles for deletion policy. Though one may criticize the quality or relevance of specific sources used in the article, in general the sources are relevant to the ideas they are being cited to support, and to the article generally.

A user advocating for deletion, Marvellous Spider-Man, has repeatedly complained that the sources cited are not solely about The Wire, but include other information. This, Marvellous Spider-Man contends, merits the article's deletion. The logic behind this contention is flawed. A source need not be solely about the article in question; it just has to have some information that is relevant to what it is being cited for. This is the standard for citations across Wikipedia, including for the encyclopedia's most established and high-quality articles. For example, in the Wikipedia page on the element "Boron" - which is well cited and complies with wikipedia's policies - the second citation is "Atomic weights of the elements 2013 (IUPAC Technical Report)". The majority of this source does not concern the Wikipedia article's topic, Boron, nevertheless, the information it does contain about boron is relevant to the article. Thus the reference is a useful and appropriate one. This is just one example of the phenomenon of legitimate Wikipedia sources that contain information beyond what they are cited for.

The Wire is a prominent and popular publication and website: the Wikipedia page on the website is well sited and impartial. As a result, it meets the essential criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia, and it's deletion is unnecessary and inappropriate. Any specific problems in the article can be fixed by edits, and other users have not demonstrated why deletion is merited.

Finally, I would like to add some context to the nomination for deletion of this article. The article's namesake publication - The Wire - has published a variety of controversial articles about Indian politics. In response, The Wire has been threatened with lawsuits and possible coercion by the Indian government and others. Such persecution has been especially acute since the site published an article called "The Golden Touch of Jay Amit Shah" on October 8th, 2017. Only a few days after the backlash to this article's publication in India, The Wire's Wikipedia page was nominated for deletion under flimsy pretexts. One cannot help but wonder whether the article's nomination for deletion is part of a broader attempt to censor, delegitimize and obscure The Wire. A Wikipedia page cannot advertise or advocate for any side in a conflict or controversy, but should stick to the facts as supported by robust references: the article on The Wire does this. As such, to delete the article would reflect a bias - with Wikipedia seeming to take the side of the current Indian administration in its conflict with The Wire. To uphold Wikipedia's ideals of impartiality and objectivity, this article should not be deleted. Screensofthought (talk) 18:00, 22 October 2017 (UTC)Screensofthought (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

No coherent justification for this article's deletion is put forth by users, therefore its deletion is unjustified. Marvellous Spider-Man seems to imply that information contained in the Wikipedia page on The Wire is already contained in the Wikipedia page of one of its editors, Siddharth Varadarajan, and that this renders the page redundant. In actuality, The Wire involves many individual editors and journalists, of which Varadarajan is just one player: the publication is not at all synonymous with him. Varadarajan's page contains only a small amount of information about The Wire, which barely overlaps with the information contained in this article, thus concerns about redundancy are not legitimate. Siddharth Varadarajan and The Wire are seperate entities that are prominent in their own rights and each merits a separate page. Marvellous Spider-Man also seems to object to the fact that some of this article's sources mention Siddharth Varadarajan in addition to The Wire. As Screensofthought has said above, inclusion of information about other topics does not invalidate the relevant information contained within this article's references. 96.246.32.210 (talk) 18:24, 22 October 2017 (UTC) 96.246.32.210 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep Appears to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (web). The CJS article quoted by the nominator [13] discusses the business model of the wire extensively. Numerous articles appear to have been written about the two court cases against it, focusing the discussion on the mission of the wire (not just reporting the outcomes of the cases) (cf. [14], [15], [16], [17] - I just pulled these off the first couple of pages of a google search, there are many more). --regentspark (comment) 17:34, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Nominator fails to advance a valid reason for deletion, per WP:TOOLITTLE. We do not delete stub articles based on length or word count but rather notability, and the first three refs are reliable sources. Enough to meet WP:GNG, imo. Now maybe there's a commonsense merge target....? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 05:21, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Merge I disagree with the nominators reasoning for deletion but in my opinion the Neural Engine itself isn't notable, the A11 chip is and therefore these two sentences should just be merged into the A11 article... EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 06:32, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep At the time of the nomination this article does indeed appear to have been a stub... but that isn't a reason for deletion. It looks like some content has been added to the article after its listing here, maybe as a good faith effort to to stave off deletion, but the latest additions may need some editing as it reads a little like fluff. While the content could be merged into Apple A11, I'm in favor of the article remaining a stand-alone article as I anticipate it will evolve along the lines of Apple motion coprocessors. —RP88 (talk) 09:26, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Apple A11. Unless we're making a special case because we all love every bit of every Apple product, WP:NOTINHERITED seems to apply here, as may WP:TOOSOON. References are all to tech-related sources, whilst this one makes it clear the Neural Engine is a trademark-type name for an element of the Apple A11. One source I found just dismisses the name as a "buzz-word". I must declare my lack of technical expertise here, but merging seems to make sense at this point in time.

  • Merge: This is a AI accelerator, a topic which does not appear to have spawned any articles for the similar functionality found in, say, AMD. I suspect this will change in the future, especially as it will likely be incorporated into the A12 and so forth, but for now this is a feature of one architecture and should be covered there. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that you are peeved after the Demitz debacle but if you are going to !vote keep on all the associated articles that I nominate for deletion you really need to give valid arguments. Simple mentions are not sufficient to meet GNG. GNG states "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." I looked at the sources and I could not find the coverage necessary but I may have missed something so please don't hesitate to cite the sources you feel are enough that will help the others who !vote and I will happily withdraw the nomination if I feel it is enough.

WP:RUNOFTHEMILL would seem to apply here - a model will of course have his face displayed, it's part and parcel of the job, and the so-called "famous" adverts don't seem to have been notable per WP's definition. Or if the ads were written about, which I don't know, Kersmo's name was not mentioned in any case.

  • Keep Kersmo was one of the most high profile people ever seen on all the major commercial channels of Swedish television, featured for several years centrally or solo, both dressed and undressed, in very frequent ads by a major Nordic clothier. Anyone who watched television in Sweden in those years would immediately know his face. If that had not been the case, this article would probably have never been created.
If this were really the case where are the sources? Domdeparis (talk) 16:37, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is not an article about the ads but the person. Notability is not inherited. Add sources that mention him and this will help prove his notability. Domdeparis (talk) 16:39, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Appearing in ads or photo shoots if you're a model adds absolutely nothing to notability per the notability guideline. They are at best primary sources that are not independent of the subject, and as such don't cut it. The only thing the ads show is that Kersmo showed up for work and did what models do at work.

There are just too few WP:RS to establish notability, but the article is padded with non-RS to make it look supported. Model Mayhem and Promod appear to be model agencies, which means they aren't independent and questionable as RS. I don't really know what the Fashonisto is, but it doesn't look major. He's mentioned among others as one of the Harem participants. The Cosmopolitan article is the best argument for notability, but the scarcity of other significant mentions in WP:RS means that I must not-vote for delete.

  • ... the fact that the nom (who has seen far far too many airy assertions about the validity of sources at AfD) would like very much to see these sources for himself, and find out whether they do, indeed, provide the "significant coverage" to the subject that the GNG requires, as well as ascertain whether they're actually reliable sources. Happily, my local library network's got one of the books, so we'll see. (Just out of curiosity, have you seen the sources yourself?) Ravenswing 14:19, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • You do know that the fact you can't see these yourself isn't a criterion for deletion, right? WP:SOURCEACCESS applies, as does WP:AGF unless there's some clear reason to disbelieve the sources being added are legitimate and properly characterized, which in that case would be a bigger editor conduct issue than anything else... Jclemens (talk) 16:02, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'll reiterate: I've seen far too claims that sources meet the requirements of the GNG when they did nothing of the sort to just say "Oooh, sources!" and walk on. Did you yourself review those sources before voting Keep? Of course you must have, and I welcome you bringing me up to speed on in what detail they cover the subject. Ravenswing 17:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ravenswing I don't have a 1980 run of Space Gamer but I know what it's likely to say; I've read Schick before and own Appelcline. Anyway, you are illicitly reversing the onus about sources, presumably out of some kind of WP:IDONTLIKEIT mentality. Please don't bring that to AfD. Newimpartial (talk) 17:34, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@ You would, then, have no problem with restating exactly what Appelcline says about the subject, then, would you? Ravenswing 17:42, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Appelcline notes the publication of Grail Quest as part of Metagaming's initial push to support The Fantasy Trip under the leadership of Guy McLimore, who became line editor.
I will admit that Grail Quest receives less ink than Treasure of the Silver Dragon, but that is because of its real-world treasure hunt tie-in, not their relative importance to RPG publishing. Newimpartial (talk) 18:24, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Their "relative importance" isn't something the GNG takes into consideration, as I'm sure you know. It's coverage. Are we talking several paragraphs about Grail Quest here, or are we talking something like "Among McLimore's credits are X, Y, Grail Quest and Z" ... ? The Space Gamer review doesn't satisfy the GNG; we're talking a magazine published just a few months before by the company that produced it, and one owned by the company which at the time was seeking to buy the game system. Right now, these assumptions that the subject meets the GNG rise and fall on just these two cites. Ravenswing 18:41, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • So ... my local library just put a copy of Schick into my hands, and it's a capsule encyclopedia of RPG products; there are thousands listed. Here's the sum total of the Grail Quest reference: "Solo scenario usable with TFT, Melee, or Wizard. The PCs are Knights of the Round Table, searching the countryside for the Holy Grail. Digest-sized box, 32-pg book, counters, die, Metagaming, 1980."

    This is as painfully inadequate a reference to meet the GNG as it would be to use the reference to support my notability (as it happens, I'm the listed author or co-author of several gamebooks and scenarios mentioned in the book). Would anyone care to proffer a reference for this product that actually meets the GNG? Ravenswing 23:09, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, Ravenswing, that is a GNG-compliant reference. It is an independent source, and a long discussion is not required. Also, please note that the sourcing requirements for BLP articles (as your WP article would be, unless you are posting as a revenant) are considerably more strict than those for published works, especially for forms such as 1970s RPG products where the print references exist but can be difficult to acquire and/or verify. You seem to be applying unnecessarily strict, non-GNG compliant standards on an IDONTLIKEIT basis. Newimpartial (talk) 01:51, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail," "* We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. If only a few sentences could be written and supported by sources about the subject, that subject does not qualify for a separate page, but should instead be merged into an article about a larger topic or relevant list."

There is no way in creation (and certainly not as it is uniformly applied on Wikipedia)) that this represents "significant coverage," and there is nothing about 1980s RPG products that immunize them from the GNG's requirements. You'd be better off finding legitimate GNG-compliant sources than in incivilly throwing slurs to cover the lack. Are you then declining to present Appelcline's cite in full, while I'm thinking about it? Ravenswing 05:41, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You appear to misunderstand the requirements of the GNG, which is intended to ensure that an adequate article can be written from reliable sources, including secondary sources, which is clearly the case here. The topic is directly and non-trivially engaged in multiple independent sources, which is the requirement.
I have summarized Appelcline's discussion of the topic and assessed its significance above, which is more than I am required to do. I am certainly not going to type it in as well, though others are free to do so. Per policy, though, GNG is certainly met. Newimpartial (talk) 07:12, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Animated web series not covered by independent reliable sources. Fails GNG, and NFILM. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion, not a directory, and not a website for indiscriminate coverage. I tried to re-establish a redirect [[23] but it was reverted and no reliable sources were added after a number of edits by the reverting editor ([24], [25], [26]). The series has not received full-length reviews by nationally known critics, is not historically notable, has not recieved any major awards, and has not been taught at colleges or universities, and so on.

  • Delete for failing the basic notability guideline WP:GNG, no WP:SIGCOV and the invalid reason for creating it. Per author own admission (above) it was created not because it is notable per se, but because the author thinks since "its made by Rooster Teeth [it must have] its own page".

  • Delete. No significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 21:31, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as I believe one of the bases to delete this page to be slightly misguided. I do not believe WP:NFILM policies to be relevant to this web series media– "significant coverage" is not needed for web content, unlike it is for films. Granted, WP:INHERITWEB also concurs that although it is created by a notable company, it is not inherently notable because of it. However, IagoQnsi has compiled a list of other sources that although has been dismissed as trivial, I would argue is notable (enough to satisfy this requirement, at least) as the contents are of sizable length, solely discusses the material in question, and offers information that cannot be gathered through the accompanying trailer (I must amend this. The detail offered may come from a press release.)– it is not just a passing mention and does not need continuing coverage.
    Concerning WP:WEB (as opposed to NFILM), it is stated that "when evaluating the notability of web content, please consider whether it has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture." I am unsure to what extent this means, but at the very least– this web content has often been topic of discussion on the Tumblr platform. I don't know if that is of any relevance to this debate, or to WP:WEB, but I figured I'd offer up that information. — SystematicAnarchy ( t • c ) 23:23, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unless Defence Journal isn't reliable, it seems that this individual passes WP:NOR, WP:V, etc. One issue is that the two references are not independent of each other, and thus the article doesn't clearly overcome WP:NPOV.

List of territorial entities where Afrikaans and Dutch are official languages[edit]

List of territorial entities where Afrikaans and Dutch are official languages (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

For one thing, this is a full article, not a list as the title would lead one to expect. Aside from that, I don't see the value of a single article combining information about the official status in various locations of an arbitrary pair of languages. This article spells out the fact that Dutch and Afrikaans are closely related, but that's tangential to the question of the countries in which a specific language has official status. It really isn't different from having an article on territorial entities where, say, Tamil and Swahili have official status. Each language might support its own article, but combining them into one isn't useful. Largoplazo (talk) 20:30, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

no Disagree This is odd, because the same articles already exist on the Dutch, Dutch and Afrikaans Wikipedia. They both included Afrikaans and Dutch in the same article, like it is common to address Dutch and Afrikaans in the same article (see here, here and here). The proposal for deletion is a proposal to fast. You should have considered another proposal (f.e. change the title) or just talk to the writer (= me) to address your concerns. Direct nomination without asking is just rude.I90Christian (talk) 10:08, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@I90Christian: please refrain from decorating your comments here with templates, per WP:AFDFORMAT. thank you, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:11, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing how those three articles, of which one is about the narrow topic of the recognition of Dutch in South Africa, and the others of which are each about recognition of one of the two languages, are pertinent to this article that merges the two topics together. Also, different language Wikipedias are distinct projects. The existence of an article on another Wikipedia doesn't even guarantee that it passes muster there (it may be that it qualifies for deletion but no one has addressed it), let alone does it have a role in determining the status of a corresponding article here. Deletion decisions here are based on English Wikipedia's guidelines.
So, for example, I do see that the Dutch article on the recognition of Dutch has an Afrikaans section. I don't know the practices on Dutch Wikipedia, so I don't know whether it's accepted there that Afrikaans stands even today as a subcategory of Dutch. As far as I know, someone will come along and remove that section on the same grounds I would, as a digression from the topic of the article. Meanwhile, here, even the fact that you mentioned Afrikaans explicitly in the title indicates an awareness that readers here will consider it a separate language from Dutch. Whatever sense, if there is one, that Afrikaans is Dutch may underlie practices on Dutch Wikipedia, I don't believe that that sense would be held by editors here. Largoplazo (talk) 12:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
About deletion nomination without asking being rude: I don't know what I would have asked you. I didn't have any doubts. It was clear that the combination made sense to you, but I disagreed and I wanted to put this in front of the community for consideration. Largoplazo (talk) 12:50, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep. From a very cursory Google search sources exist which discuss the history of Dutch and Afrikaans as an official language in South Africa. [28] [29] [30]. Presumably a deeper search would turn up sources for the other nations, if not academic sources, then at least official governmental sources. I'm not sure what is the point of the comparison to Tamil and Swahili. Afrikaans is a linguistic descendant of Dutch developed by Dutch settlers in South Africa, while Swahili and Tamil do not have such a history AFAIK. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:30, 11 October 2017 (UTC)(Temporarily striking 18:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC))[reply]

  • I addressed that Afrikaans is related to Dutch, and stated that I don't see what difference that makes. They are, today, two separate languages, each with its own set of places where it's official. Largoplazo (talk) 15:36, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • They're two language with a good degree of mutual intelligibility (see Afrikaans#cite_note-15). One developed as a daughter language of the other in the relatively recent past compared to other mother-daughter language pairs, and several countries have them as official languages. Off the top of my head, I can't think of another language pair that would be analogous. Saying that the Afrikaans-Dutch language pair is analogous to the Tamil-Swahili pair as you did in your nomination statement is incorrect and a misrepresentation of the former language pair's special relationship. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:05, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The analogy is perfectly good in the absence of an explanation as to why a degree of interrelatedness beyond a given threshold (and what threshold is that?) suddenly makes it a good idea to have an article on Wikipedia that's about two things that aren't the same thing, where the information the article gives about each is completely unrelated to the information given about the other (the areas where Dutch and Afrikaans are official are mutually exclusive), instead of having different articles about them. Exactly what advantage does having this article confer over having two separate articles? The presence of the additional note that the languages are related? For one thing, that's off-topic (the topic being "where are these languages official", not "what is the linguistic relationship between these languages"). For another, it's already covered in articles that do cover linguistic relationships. There's no reason for this hodgepodge. Largoplazo (talk) 17:30, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm going edit my !votes about above until I can get a better sense of the sources available. It may be better to merge some of the content in this article to the main Afrikaans article and/or Languages of South Africa and add some hatnotes to relevant articles. I would maintain that the Afrikaans-Dutch language would be the best one to have an article on, but I'll strike my !vote and comments above until I look at sources more in depth.. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 18:47, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No rationale for deletion is included in the nomination. What's said could be basis for suggesting a split perhaps, into one article on Afrikaans and one on Dutch. Note if the article was split, it would immediately become appropriate to merge them, because the languages are overlapping / closely related. I think/presume that the nominator is unfamiliar with the languages, and should not be involved in judging how articles like this should be organized. --doncram 18:55, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since I gave my rationale and I specifically and prominently covered my opinion about the relevance of the relationship between the two languages, given that the article purports to be not about the languages (related) but about where they're spoken (unrelated), one might reasonably ask that you replace your contribution with a response that's consistent with the facts. En, ja, ik weet heel goed de verhouding tussen de twee talen (ik heb drie jaat in België gewoont), ek kan ook 'n beetjie Afrikaans lees en verstaan, and I've even translated from both languages on Wikipedia. So, clearly, my nomination is not based on a lack of awareness of and appreciation for the relationship between the two languages, but on my opinion of its relevance in this context. Largoplazo (talk) 19:30, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, I was thinking/presuming incorrectly about the language skill of nominator (sorry, and perhaps i could buy you a kopje coffee someday to attone). But, the nomination does not provide argument for deletion. It provides complaint perhaps about the naming of the article (so discuss that at the Talk page and perhaps open a wp:RM request) and it complains about the scope of the article (so suggest a split of the article at its Talk page). There is no issue about General Notability Guidelines being met, and no valid deletion argument at all. In fact this should be Speedy Keep decided. --doncram 23:25, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename and rewrite OR delete The article could be tweaked into a valid entry but has been set up as misleading and WP:OR. I have linked it to the valid entries in Dutch and French.

Fails WP:NOR. WP:POVFORK of Catalan nationalism, serious WP:NPOV problems. The title of the article itself is hardly used - not WP:COMMONNAME (per a simple google test - 24 hits). Possible WP:COPYVIO issues - as first edit summary states [32] - "Creating article Catalan Supremacism - largely translated from ES Wiki articles" - without stating which articles - which we should note are probably not titled "Catalan supremacism" as there is no interwiki and the use of the plural articles (WP:SYN?). Article has also been tagged as WP:FRINGE by other editors. Icewhiz (talk) 10:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete new article, created because, well, folks in old Hispania are a tad agitated just now. So stuff happens to Wikipedia. Like the creation of this article. Note that instead of highlighting Catalan supremacism, article creator linked supremacism; edit note creating this page reads: "largely translated from ES Wiki articles." One reason not ot do this is that political terms do not translate smoothly. This is demonstarted by the assertion in the first sentence, "Catalan supremacism was an ideology shared by all of the main intellectual figures[which?] of the Catalan Renaissance". The Catalan Renaissance was a classic example of Romantic nationalism - not an example of supremacism.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. POV fork. Despite the proliferation of refs, I doubt that many of them are reliable sources, or that there is significant coverage of Catalan supremicism (or racism) in those sources that are reliable, ∴ fails WP:V and GNG. The fact that the content seems to be acceptable on es.wiki does not make it acceptable here. Scolaire (talk) 13:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    Also in this article - The Catalan supremacism#Influence on 21st century Catalan independence movement seems to be rather pure WP:OR / WP:COATRACK (tying various Catalan politicians to this supposed supremacist movement - possibly a WP:BLP issue) while the rest of the article is mainly translated from the "Catalan Race" (omitting Mexico, minor changes otherwise) es.wiki article.Icewhiz (talk) 13:58, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Outside political pamphlets, I didn't find any serious source using the concept. I tried also to neutralize a bit the intro (changing "all catalan intellectuals" by "some") and this was systematically undone by the first author of the article, this was also his first article. Another addition about the phenomenon in Castile, (with a serious source) he first deleted and than watered down as he couldn't deny what was printed black on white. Finally the author is confusing some racial theories that indeed existed at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, in many countries of Europe, and that aren't typical nor mainstream in Catalonia. He is presenting them as there is a continuity until today, without any evidence. The quotes are very selective, without counterbalancing them. With the context ignored and without any serious evidence, this article should be deleted.--Flamenc (talk) 14:27, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep but consider Rename: All of the sources are serious reputable academic sources and reputable media sources. The article seems to be attacked for political reasons related to Catalan nationalism but is not a fork from that article. It is about a very specific stand-alone topic, extensively sourced using academic material and secondary sources and has information which is not currently covered by English language Wikipedia: 19th and 20th century Catalan racial supremacist thought. As an equivalent to Racism in Spain or Falangism, it is not a fork from Catalan nationalism. That the subject matter is distasteful to nationalists of a specific region is not relevant since Wikipedia is not censored on grounds of denialism. This would be an unacceptable amount of information to delete. It would require placing the content elsewhere, and Catalan nationalism is not an appropriate place for it, since it would give undue weight to a very specific historical phenomenon which need not be conflated with a nationalist movement.Sonrisas1 (talk) 16:57, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment This is the only "keep" vote here and to me it seems to instead be making the case that, rather than a POVFORK of Catalan nationalism, it is a POVFORK of Racism in Spain... which makes it's case for legitimacy not a bit brighter.--Calthinus (talk) 02:32, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Calthinus, looking at the article Racism in Spain and its corresponding version in es:wikipedia, it looks to me like a missing section in Racism in Spain in the English version rather than a POV-fork.

I could go on, but I have to get back to work. I can only assume, accusations of "fringe theories" or false/absence/non-credible sourcing are made in bad faith in this request for deletion... Media sources include La Vanguardia, El Periódico de Catalunya, Avui, El Mundo etc.Sonrisas1 (talk) 06:56, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please WP:AGF and WP:NPA. Sourcing in the article is generally poor, and the article text doesn't match the sourcing. The sourcing in particular for the WP:OR section of "Influence on 21st century Catalan independence movement" - does not appear solid - for instance you connect Artur Mas and Oriol Junqueras to supremacism (quite a WP:BLP issue!) - however while the quote itself is reliable, it does not back up this connection.Icewhiz (talk) 07:02, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Icewhiz I'm not denying the article has issues. I has LOTS OF THEM. I need help. But the solution is not deleting it. Its helping me fix it. Regarding Junqueras and Mas. I don't connect them to supremacism. The article doesn't claim those statements are supremacist. It says that, according to sources that that their statements are accused of being supremacist by x,y,z. That should be fine, no? But that is a discussion for the article not a request for deletion. Aborting its existence one week into creation after such a massive translation effort is unfair on a good faith new wikipedian, who had big plans for translating a bunch of articles.Sonrisas1 (talk) 07:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article wouldn't have passed Wikipedia:Articles for creation - which you might want to look into if you intend to create similar articles. I nominated this for deletion because I believe the topic (which doesn't seem to exist for any other national group on Wikipedia in this form - at least per my check) is not salvageable - both on my own impression, and based on the impression of multiple other editors on the article talk page (and article tags). While some topics are quite translatable between different language wikis, if you are translating a highly-political article with POV aligned to the language you are translating from - you will often run into NPOV problems. The Spanish (or French, Arab, Hebrew, or just about any other language wiki) NPOV is different from the English NPOV (which leads to the philosophical question of what neutrality is, but...).Icewhiz (talk) 07:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Icewhiz Understood, that is a valid point. Then the solution I would really beg all of you is to rename the article, totally change the lead and edit some of the body. We could rename it to Catalan Romantic Racism or something of the thought, since an article on Catalan racial nationalism, or ideally Catalan chauvinism, akin to Han chauvinism. I think, given the huge amount of sources (potentially there is much much, more) it should be modified not deleted. I am not a political edit warrior, I would contribute to a section which provides counter-arguments and criticisms of the concept, and there are many credible ones in the Spanish language which could be included. Improving, modifying the article is a better course of action than deleting its entire content. I really believe this. This article can be neutral - I agree it is not neutral enough yet now, but I thought it would become better with progressive editing and expansion by editors with a range of views. I think I just chose the wrong time to create the article since national sentiment is high on both sides. I am even willing to agree to the most aggressive of editors here (Panotxa) of this article to re-formulate the lead in a way that Catalan chauvinism is expressed as a belief or an argumentation rather than an undisputed reality. I hate the idea of so much work going to waste. Sonrisas1 (talk) 07:37, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to mention, in Spanish wikipedia this article is called "Catalan race" which I thought was an odd name for wikipedia article (hence I changed it), but it is a long standing stable article and the subject matter is largely the same: (ethnic supremacism in Catalan nationalist discourse).Sonrisas1 (talk) 07:41, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You said above that The Origins of Catalan Nationalism, 1770-1898, pp.200-203 was the "main source on bulk of article". Pages 200-203 are not visible on Google Books, but what is available talks knowledgeably and at length about Catalan identity without so much as hinting at racism, supremacism or anything else-ism. I can't believe that the author would suddenly change his tone for four pages late in the book. If this is your "main source", then I would conclude that all your other sourcing, or at least your interpretation of it, is equally dubious. Is there a single source that connects the writings of Almirall, the writings of Pompeyo Gener, the Civil War, early 20th century immigration, 1960s immigration and the 21st century independence movement? No, of course not. It's simply original research. As I said above, the fact that this is acceptable on Spanish Wikipedia does not make it acceptable on English Wikipedia. Scolaire (talk) 09:19, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is a lot of confusion in this article as between Catalan identity (you could fill a library about this theme) and the conclusion of supposed superiority, for which there are no real modern sources other than pamphlets. --Flamenc (talk) 11:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Icewhiz, Flamenc: I am asked to "Assume Good Faith" from all editors, but it is very hurtful when Scolaire, who I see edit wars often on issues related to Catalan independence, suggests I am fabricating or making up the contents of Mr Smith's book in the article's references. But Mr. Scolaire, no, I did not lie when translating this article and checking its sources and no I don't fabricate citations. The book is one of the article's main sources not "my main source", (even though I do happen to own it). It says what is written in the body of the article and early Catalan-nationalist racial supremacist discourse is discussed not just in p199-203 (p.202 IS visible and you can see what he is talking about in p 201) but in a number of other pages, throughout the book (p,149-156) for example or p251-252. If you search for key words in the book on its page in google books: like "berber", "semitic", "race", "african" etc. you will have an idea in which pages it is discussed . I don't know how else to convince you. Is this required or normal? Should I write down the entire text of each page here, in this RfD? Or scan it?
Scolaire I don't know where you are getting at with your second question. Your question is "is there one source which connects the racist writings of (for example) Jordi Pujol and other modern nationalist politicians to the racist thought of the founders of Catalan nationalism? YES. EVIDENTLY. All of the sources referenced in the article do. Even those NOT referenced in the article do! That's why no one deletes them. Here is an example after a 5 second google search that does so.http://intereconomia.com/nacional/racismo-los-teoricos-nacionalismo-catalan-20120330-20120401-0000/feed/ Please use google translate more thoroughly and notice the body is referenced to such detail that no one focuses their attacks on the body of the article, only on the lead or on trying to get it deleted. You personally are either assuming bad faith or trying to get other wikipedians to assume bad faith with such statements. I'm sorry but I find this very insulting. It is wrong behavior even if you do not speak Spanish or Catalan there is no excuse... Sonrisas1 (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh yes, by all means let's bring that to the reliable sources noticeboard and see how reliable they think it is. Scolaire (talk) 15:52, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then Scolaire read this an entire study in the review of social anthropology of the University of Barcelona: Catalan, immigrants and charnegos: “race”, “cultura” and “mixture” in Catalan Nationalist Rhetoric. It is an important source in the article, it is the answer to your question. It discusses Racism towards immigrant Spaniards in Nationalist discourse from beginning of 20th century to the 21st century. But the question is, have you bothered to read it before trying to get this article deleted? Please use Google translate when required. https://revistas.ucm.es/index.php/RASO/article/viewFile/36262/35111

  • Abstract:

This paper focuses on the manner in which ‘race’ and ‘culture’ are used in nationalist rhetorics, paying special attention to the presence or absence of ideas of biological or cultural ‘mixture’ employed in order to define socio-political identity of offspring of parents who possess different national identities. I will analyze this phenomenon in the ethnographic instance of Catalan nationalism, a kind of ‘civic’ nationalism that defines Catalan identity basically in cultural terms. The paper proposes to contrast this type of nationalist rhetoric with a form of xenophobic attitude that developed in Catalonia in the past century —1960s-1970s— and which served to stigmatize the offspring of ‘mixed’ marriages between Catalans and Spanish immigrants. This instance serves to show that nationalist ideologies tend to adapt their argumentative structure to the prevailing socio-political and conceptual context, shifting from and/or combining culturalist and biologist/essentialist principles of classification. Finally, I want to point out the importance of paying special attention to the contemporary economic crisis in particular, with regard to attitudes and disqualifications of non-European immigrants in Catalonia and their descendants.Sonrisas1 (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC) Sonrisas1 (talk) 16:11, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contrasting modern "cultural" nationalism with 60s xenophobia! And where does it discuss Almirall, Gener or Junqueras? This is what I mean about the way you use sources. But this is not the place for this discussion. It should be on the article talk page. We have each argued our side. Let the closer draw his or her own conclusions. Scolaire (talk) 16:26, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not great with Spanish, but I believe the word "brevemente" means "briefly" - the author is discussing a xenophobia that formed briefly in the 1960s and 70s. That word was in the original, but you left it out of your translation, for some reason. This doesn't support the thrust of the article, it seems to refute it by noting that contemporary Catalan nationalism is a form of civic Nationalism that doesn't really rely on an ethnic identity at all. Nblund talk 16:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have now read the article in Google translate and it categorically does not say what you pretend it says. Scolaire (talk) 16:34, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, User:Nblund. Look at page 64 of the Barcelona University study, for example. It says: aunque es cierto que en términos generales el discurso nacionalista en Cataluña se ha construido a partir de criterios culturales, no hay que olvidar que hubo un importante debate sobre el “problema de la inmigración” en Cataluña entre 1919 y 1930, que se expresó a través de la pureza racial y los “problemas de la mezcla racial” (Simón Tarrés, 1995)
Translation: "Although it is true that, in general terms, Catalan nationalist discourse has been built on cultural criteria, we must not forget that there was an important debate about the "problem of immigration: in Catalonia between 1919 and 1930, which was expressed by means of racial purity and the problems of "racial admixture"."
She is citing: Josep Vandellós, Catalunya, poble decadent(1935) y La immigració a Cataluña(1935), also mentioned in the article. In any case the argument used by Scolaire is weak. It is like asking for the article White supremacism be deleted lest it shows an individual source which connects all L. Frank Baum with Alfred Rosenberg, Ian Smith, the White Patriot Party, Odinism, Charlottesville, Matthew F. Hale and Donald Trump. On the other hand, on this topic we do have a number of sources/articles which identify a general theme of ethnic supremacism from current politicians harking back to the 19th century: such as this one http://www.libertaddigital.com/espana/politica/2015-07-26/oriol-junqueras-los-catalanes-tienen-mas-proximidad-genetica-con-los-franceses-que-con-los-espanoles-1276553647/ I concede this particular one is an article from a conservative TV channel and can be perfectly and legitimately contested with counter-arguments (in fact, it should - including explaining how Catalonia has become an inclusive society in the 1990s and the "us vs. them" in nationalism now based more on language/culture/politics than race). However sources arguing for a continuity do exist (the one above provided for example between the current Catalan vice-president Oriol Junqueras feeling the need to publicly discuss how "Catalans are genetically closer to the French and the Swiss whereas the Spanish are closer to the Portuguese" and that fact that the history of the Catalan nationalist renaissance is rife with racialist thought based on Catalans being more European and thus superior other Spaniards + xenophobic attitudes to immigrants from southern and central Spain and writings in the 30s on the need to maintain catalan ethnic purity. It is not Original Research. Sonrisas1 (talk) 17:06, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Nblund This article, which is a review of Francisco Caja's book also explains how this academic studies in his work the continuity between Almirall, Gener et al. and Jordi Pujol's ideology (hard to argue against that one considering his book about inferior Andalusians who will destroy Catalonia) and the development of modern independence movement through a chauvinistic/supremacist ideology. Please do google translate. Note Jordi Pujol is the father of Catalan nationalism in the democratic era and was President of Catalonia between the early 1980s and 2011. https://gaceta.es/noticias/francisco-caja-convivencia-civica-catalana-congreso-catalanidad-hispanica-raza-catalana-11072016-2022/Sonrisas1 (talk) 17:21, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Would you not consider just writing a biography of Francisco Caja, describing his violent vitriolic anti-Catalan diatribes? You could copy it from this article. --Scolaire (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's the best you can do when you run out of arguments, Scolaire? Make stuff up about a professor of philosophy at the University of Barcelona you hadn't even heard of until this dispute? Unlike you, I do speak Catalan, so lying about a Catalan-university professor to weaken the validity of a source is pretty pointless and makes you look bad. His article in Catalan wikipedia (which is overall pretty biased due to language barriers reducing diversity of views - less than 40% of Catalans can write it properly) doesn't say anything at all about "violent diatribes against Catalonia". I think I have made my point here and you have shown what you are up to on wikipedia. I hope sanity prevails.Sonrisas1 (talk) 19:04, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sonrisas@, Unlike you, I understand and speak Catalan and don't use bad arguments to denigrate somebody who doesn't share my opinion. Never seen any of this language barriers. You still didn't bring any evidence of you supremacy theory (copypasted from a SCC video & propaganda). Arguments and facts allways are welcome.--Flamenc (talk) 07:56, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This article suffers a lot from not grasping the point Bernard Lewis made on his book on racism and slavery in the Middle-east. Race as a concept close to nationality existed in the 19th-century. It was rethought on slightly larger terms in the 20th-century. By the 21st-century most people who study the concept from a biological stand point have rejected the very notion of race, and some of the top physical anthropologist worry about the obsession with asking race on the part of medical institutions. I have in the last month filled out forms that listed possible races as Middle Eastern and Chaldean in one case. Those are two seperate races. In another case they just had Middle Eastern but also had Greek. We need a nuanced discussion of this idea, which can easily be provided in the article on Catalan Nationalism. n present discourse people regularly use ethnicity and race interchangeably. Despite US census statement "Hispanics can be of any race", many Americans will say being Hispanic is a race. Some even say ethnicity is a more specific measure than race. Then in my history of China class our professor told us the 50+ ethnicities of China are best thought of as similar to the various races of the US.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete/Merge It seems that this article lacks a major organizing field or principle - the connection of all these various different components of "Catalan Supremacism" is either based on very few sources, or pure original research. That being the case, rather than having an article dedicated to a concept with no real validity, it'd be better to take anything of value and put it in Catalan Nationalism, as the vast majority of the material in this article describes aspects of the Catalan Nationalist movement.

TFD (talk) 11:04, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • The article is not about Catalan nationalism. It is about the history of racism in a particular geographic region, TFD. What makes British, Leeds University Professor Angel Smith's book or Alvarez Chillida's study on anti-semitism in Spain (to take two of many examples) unreliable? The unreliability/lack of sources argument is extremely strange. Maybe if it is repeated over and over again, editors will become convinced it is true and become blind to the body of reliable literature which is on the article itself... Is there a body of literature on Anti-Catalanism? The article is literally unsourced except for newspaper articles. Would you delete that too? Or is that fine? We cannot say that an academic is not reliable because POV-editors dislike a paragraph, page or chapter of one of his books. When we have an entire body of literature on the topic, we can't smear every one of its authors because we dislike a wikipedia article and want it deleted.

  • Delete. As it is right now, I think it belongs into WP:POVFORK territory with plenty of undue extrapolation. The title "Catalan Supremacism" is not valid either, for what is meant to be (as you read the entry) something like "Racial discourse in Catalan nationalism". But there are plenty of sources in the entry to use elsewhere, though. Racism in Spain could be a place to start (although, in order to keep balance that entry should be expanded bigly with more content not related to Catalonia). Using Caja (a perfectly valid source to punctually source factual information and to make inline attributions despite what many Catalan nationalists may tell you) as common thread (which is close to be in a section) screams "problems" because he has fringe views about what Catalan nationalism is as a whole. PS: @Sonrisas1: I cannot do anything but recommend El antisemitismo en España: la imagen del judío, 1812-2002 by Álvarez Chillida in order to source about "racist and antisemitic views" in Spain. IIRC he talks about the racial views in fin de siècle Catalan nationalism, but he cannot be used as it is used right now at the beginning of the last section to make black & white statements (it screams of junk WP:SYNTH).--Asqueladd (talk) 14:41, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Agree:Asqueladd Moving the bulk of the content (or a condensed version of it) to Racism in Spain is a fair option. Note that was my next project anyways: rewriting that article on basis of Spanish version - which includes many other types of internal racism not just Catalan. I also think that article should be renamed History of racism in Spain. I do understand the POV-fork argument, but the fact is that this information has to be somewhere on Wikipedia. In the event that Catalonia became independent, we would need this as a separate article. I'm taking for granted this article will be deleted but I will get in touch with you at some point, since I don't know how to make attributions in sources (i.e. write the actual citations in Spanish within the reference) and focus on Racism in Spain.

I had to read this article three times to decide if this is "encyclopaedic" or more of an essay with political undertone. I think it's the latter.
In a nutshell, the article repeats most of that is already covered in History of England but introduces a WP:POVFORK by referring to William the Conquerer as "bastard son with spurious claim..." and goes on how French language, culture and names entered England. What follows is a badly sourced mini-history of England with some examples of French names written essay style.
The article ends with a call-to-action to other Wikipedians to compile a list of Norman names with explanations and a political statement about how the Norman invasion was the first and EU membership was the second time England was taken over. I can't help but feel that this is some kind of "witch hunt" on people with Norman (i.e. "invader") names.
Overall, I think the article is beyond salvageable as it would need a fundamental rewrite to discuss naming history from a neutral point of view. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:55, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand if you do not like the style. I have always treated Wikipedia as being able to include the important aspects without stogy mechanisms. In the whole article on the Magna Carta for instance it never says that the absolute most important thing about it is that it made the sovereign subject to the laws. It said what laws he was subject to but never discussed the underlying concept that was foreign to the whole world at that time. So change the style. And yes I think the whole of Wikipedia is getting stodgy and mechanical. For that I go to Britannica. But to say it is not important or a concept in itself that people should be able to look up, that is incorrect. If you look at my discussion page I tried to find a page that discussed this before I started the page. And it is interesting, not droll. If you wanted to know why Bucket is pronounced bouquet, where do you want to send them? It is not political The invasion was almost a thousand years ago.

  • Keep The current article may lapse from WP:NOR. But what matters is not the current state of the article, but whether the underlying topic is itself notable. I don't think there is any question as to whether it is, because this is the kind of thing Linguists write their Masters and PhD theses about.

    Nominator wrote: "I had to read this article three times..."

    Warning! This is not how you should decide whether an article merits deletion. Rather you should comply with WP:BEFORE, and make a couple of web searches, so you can independently arrive at an informed conclusion as to whether the article's underlying topic measures up to our inclusion criteria. Please don't ever call for the deletion of an article merely because it is weak, when the underlying topic is notable. Geo Swan (talk) 12:07, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not sure I like being "warned" with some accusation about not doing WP:BEFORE. I did clearly state in my closing comment that I agree that such topic may warrant being highlighted - just not as essay, with OR and all sort of colour political reflection. Hence WP:TNT. I am baffled by the statement that editors should effectively ignore a full understanding of an article which is being assessed (which sometime requires further reading) and instead come to a view based purely on external factors. I would argue that it is exactly a lack of proper time to review that allowed this colourful, tendentious article to be uncurated and unchanged for half a year. Geo has essentially nuked the article so that only debris is left (thank you for that), the question remains if the stubby remainder still warrants to be here or possibly may be redirected/merged. The article Anglo-Norman language reflects on many elements that may also find their way into an article about names. Additionally, Anglo-Normans contains a rather long list of Norman families, in many cases with their own articles and etymology for the names. This may be a very personal view, but I'm not a big fan of forks until such a point where sufficient material has been collected to aid readability and comprehension of a wider complex of topics.pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:42, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Jake Brockman, our policies, sadly, are in a constant state of flux. They used to be very clear on this point. Articles on notable topics that had problems that were fixable were to be fixed. We tag them for improvement. We stubbify them, to the point where paragraphs that lapsed from NPOV, NOR, or copyvio, were trimmed. You refer to WP:TNT, one of our many wikidocuments that is an essay, one I had not read, until today. In general policies trump guidelines, and guidelines trump essays. In practice there are a few essays that enjoy such widespread acceptance -- like WP:ATA -- that they might as well be official wikidocuments. But I don't accept that TNT is one of them. I see it as its preamble warns -- an essay with no guarantee it is broadly accepted. Since it contradicts the last version of WP:DEL I studied closely, I put very little stock in its advice.
    • You wrote: "I'm not a big fan of forks until such a point where sufficient material has been collected to aid readability and comprehension of a wider complex of topics".

      Ah. You've touched on a sore point for me. A lot of wikipedia contributors think it makes sense to take articles on perfectly adedquate topics, and shoehorn one, into another, simply because they are related.

      No offense, but this is almost always short-sighted and a grave disservice to our readers. Our readers intelligence deserves respect. Our readers freedom to jump from topic to topic, in the way that serves them best, deserves respect.

      You ask whether this topic is a mere subset of Anglo-Norman language. Again, no offense, but let me suggest you are overlooking that these two topics, anglo-norman language and english surnames of Norman origin have DIFFERENT sets of topics they are linked to. In the ideal wikipedia, every notable topic that this article was related to would exist, and there would be a pair of bidirectional links between each related article.

      If I am not mistaken the Normans also conquered and ruled Sicily, for a time. (If I am not mistaken the original root of the Mafia was that it was an underground Sicilian resistance movement opposed to the Norman occupiers.) So this article should contain a link to Sicilian surnames of Norman origin. After England the Normans went on and occupied some or all of Ireland. So this article should link to Irish surnames of Norman origin. The Normans were not the first Viking style people to occupy England. At the time of Alfred the Great Danes occupied half of England, the Danelaw. So English surnames of Danish origin should link to this article, and vice versa. This is the English language wikipedia. There may be few scholars who have written, in English, about Hungarian surnames of Austrian origin, or Dutch names of Spanish origin. My point is that the unexamined assumption in your suggestion is that anyone interested in English surnames of Norman origin has to be just as interested in the Anglo-Norman language, and you seem to be overlooking the possibility that a reader could want to read about these surnames who has zero interest in Anglo-Norman language. If I am interested in surnames whose source was foreign occupiers I sure wouldn't want to plough through an article on each foreign invader's language, in hopes it contained the information I really wanted. Should the article on Anglo-Norman language link to English surnames of Danish origin, or Irish surnames of Norman origin? No, of course it shouldn't.

      In addition, if we took your merge suggestion, we would have less useful watchlists, the "what links here" button would be less useful. When two articles that can stand on their own are merged, this robs people of the option of only putting the topic they are interested on their watchlist. If the article they are really interested in is shoe-horned into another article, merely because they are related, and they remember to add the merge target to their watchlist, their watchlist will give them a lot of time-wasting false-positives, when someone edits the merged article, but adds material about the other topic. Geo Swan (talk) 23:47, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hold the presses -- I replaced the questionable version with a stub, but a properly referenced one. I think everyone agrees that the underlying topic is notable. Those calling for deletion objected to the previous version lapsing from WP:NOR. I think their concerns are now moot.

    I recommend keeping the article, and I would encourage the author of the version that lapsed from OR to discuss what kind of references, and changes in style, others think would be necessary if he or she were to re-incorporate some of their original contribution back into the article, before actually re-incorporating anything.

    • Peterkingiron Is there any chance you could return her, and explain yourself in more detail?
    • In particular, you write the aricle has "no useful content".. Well that is not a criteria for deletion. It is not up to you and I, to us wikipedia contributors, to use our personal judgement, as to whether topics are notable. Rather we are supposed to rely on whether the authors of reliable sources wrote about the topic.

      If RS write about a topic you or I think is pointless, our choices are: (1) grit our teeth, and work on the article, neutrally using the references we personally disagree with; or (2) ignore that topic, and reserve our personal efforts for other articles.

    • You write: "If it was a list of surnames, which implies that the ancestor came over with William I, it might have been worth having..." Excuse me, but this sounds like a tacit acknowledgement that you agree that the topic of English surnames with Norman origin is, in fact, a notable topic. Our deletion policies seem pretty clear on this. When a contributor thinks a topic is notable, but they think the current state of the article is weak, they are not supposed to argue for its deletion, they are supposed to either improve it themselves, or call for its improvement on the talk page, or through tags.
    • With regard to your assertion the article should list the surnames of those Norman invaders who came with William the Conqueror... No offense, but you did read the article, before you called for its deletion, didn't you? In 1066 no one used surnames!

      The first documented use of a surname was recorded almost 80 years later. That is right in the article.

      This means no occupier who accompanied "William the Conqueror" brought a surname with him in 1066, because none of them had a surname. Norman French was the language used in the English court for over one hundred years, and presumably used by Norman occupiers. Prior to the adoption of surnames, in the twelfth century, no one in England, not even Kings and nobles, used surnames.

      Check House of Normandy -- the dynasty "William the Conqueror" came from. Known of the individuals in his family had a surname.

      The general adoption of surnames, in England and France, occurred in the twelfth century. That is why later French refugees from Normandy brought previously unknown Norman surnames to England, when they arrived in the fifteenth century. Norman people in England adopted one set of Norman-origin surnames, and Norman people in France adopted a different set of Norman-origin surnames.

    • If you still think the article should be deleted... if you think you have a policy compliant justification, then please return here and try to explain that justification more fully.

  • Redirect to MapleCore. Full disclosure, I'm the original creator here, but I did so at a very different time in the history of Wikipedia's notability and sourcing standards. At the time, all a record label had to do to be considered notable per WP:NMUSIC was to have notable artists on it — and WP:CORPDEPTH wasn't a thing yet either, but rather it was enough to be able to reference it to RS coverage of the artists which verified that those artists were on it. But we're stricter now about the distinction between coverage which mentions the topic and coverage which is actually about the topic, and this isn't salvageable to the latter sort of coverage. But even without the depth of coverage needed to qualify for a standalone article, it is verifiable enough to merit mention in Wikipedia somewhere — and its parent corporation's article is better-sourced as the subject of more coverage about it than this division is.

  • Delete. Fails WP:V. Name is also highly unlikely for a 16th century Englishmen, and is actually quite unpopular - less than 30 google hits - and you'd expect quite a bit more if this name were carved on the crow's nest of several of his/her majesty's ships......Fails WP:SOLDIER of course. A mast height of just 33ft sounds a bit small for the top of the mast for the ship he fell from. Becoming "lead ship builder" at the age of 29 after recovering from his injury and serving a-ship seems not too plausible.Icewhiz (talk) 13:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    Another inconsistency The HMS Vanguard was rebuilt in the Woolrich Dockyard still exists today and has the engraving on its crows nest. However, the ship is privately owned as an antique. - HMS Vanguard (S28) is a submarine and doesn't have a crow's nest. All previous Vanguards seem to have been broken up or sunk. So this potentially verifiable piece of information (go see the engraving/graffiti) fails due to the ship not existing.Icewhiz (talk) 13:38, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Soft redirect to Wiktionary for the time being—without prejudice to revival of the page as a separate encyclopedic article later, if suitable secondary sources can be found. I've created the Wiktionary page the good doctor that would be the target of the soft redirect. I believe the honorific expression the good doctor meets Wiktionary's idiomaticity criterion for inclusion.
The real obstacle to immediate expansion of the Wikipedia page into something encyclopedic is not WP:DICDEF, or WP:NOT, or even an absolute lack of sources—it's WP:NOR, and more specifically, the section WP:SYNTH. There are numerous primary sources out there with implications for this honorific's cultural significance, but it would take a lot of synthetic original research to put them together in a way that would meet the standards of WP:WORDISSUBJECT within WP:DICDEF. I haven't seen any secondary sources yet that do this, although some might have been lurking unnoticed in the sheer volume of the Google search results.
Should suitable sources be found later, soft redirection using the template {{Wiktionary redirect}} will place fewer obstacles in the way of revival of the page than would straightforward deletion, or even merging. The section WP:POINTWIKT within the policy WP:DICDEF recommends this procedure for Wikipedia articles "which could potentially be proper articles but are dictionary-like stubs at the moment"—a precise description of what we face here.
Syrenka V (talk) 10:32, 23 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update on Wiktionary: since the Macbeth quotation only includes the form of address "good doctor", which by Wiktionary's standards is distinct from "the good doctor", it is ineligible for citation in the Wiktionary article the good doctor. So I've created a separate Wiktionary article specifically for the form of address good doctor, and cited the Macbeth quotation there; at this point, no information will be lost by a soft redirect. Another good thing about a soft redirect, as opposed to a merge or a hard redirect, is that it can be given more than one target; the template {{double soft redirect}} makes that easy. So the soft redirect can lead to both Wiktionary pages. (There is of course only one encyclopedic concept here, so if secondary sources can be found later, the soft redirect can still be replaced by a single Wikipedia article.)

    • Not even a soft redirect to Wiktionary? Just delete? Really? Even the dictionary entries I've written for Wiktionary say more, and need to say more, than the above one-sentence summary—which isn't even correct, although it is taken from the current dab and main articles here on Wikipedia.

The page was CSD'd unsuccessfully a while ago in 2009. Besides the fact the page would need a whole lot of cleaning, the problem is notability. I would assume the Vedanta Society of St. Louis, USA, is not such a large organization that WP:CLERGYOUTCOMES would apply. I found no independent sources for ""Swami Chetanananda" Ramakrishna, though (as hinted by the opening sentence in the current article) this other guy tends to clutter the search results.

  • vote deferred for now - This is a very important and profound AFD. There are many articles in the mold of "Country X Ambassador to Country Y". While people may write "other crap exists", we should try to be uniform, not arbitrary, and delete some but not others. Another issue is that there may be few or no reliable sources about the list of ambassadors to a certain country. If there are none, then we are almost doing original research by cherry picking information from various sources to make up an article. This is different from "List of US Presidents" where there are reliable sources with lists. There is probably no "List of US Presidents who hated spinach" even though you might be able to find an article that President X hated spinach and another article that mentions President Y doesn't like spinach. AGrandeFan (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Cherry picking information from various sources to make up an article" is called research and is how you are supposed to write an article. WP:Synthesis is about combining facts to come to a new conclusion not in the original source material. If you believed a person was born on Mars instead of Earth, you would pick various statements to support your new conclusion. --RAN (talk) 01:27, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • @Chris troutman: Sorry, I'm confused. If the optimal solution would be to keep the content at Foreign relations of Bangladesh (and I'm leaning more or less towards agreement with you on that), why is your recommendation delete rather than merge? --Worldbruce (talk) 01:17, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Worldbruce: I've been screwed in the past where I !voted merge, some !voted delete, but the largest single group !voted keep. The closer determined keep was consensus because they didn't see merge and delete as essentially the same conclusion (that a standalone article should not exist). There are already misguided keep !votes present here, so pushing for deletion is a clearer position than merge. Also, if the split was between keep and merge, the closer could determine keep and ask for a merge discussion, which also wastes time. Finally, you don't need permission to copy material from here and paste it somewhere else so long as you properly attribute. I only !vote merge if the consensus is clearly trending for merge because otherwise it's too risky as a matter of game theory. Chris Troutman (talk) 16:22, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Symbolic computation" is another name for "Computer algebra". As most (maybe all) computer algebra systems do not use the phrase "computational algebra", there is no reason to redirect to Computer algebra system. On the other hand, it may be readers who do not make a difference between "computational algebra" and "computer algebra". Thus redirecting there is natural.

Non-notable building. Likely created as paid editing to promote the architect: Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard/Archive_89#Aedas. Note this deletion rationle is a copy of what Smartse wrote in 2015 proposed deletion, and the article hasn't been improved since. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:52, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There are more sources available than in 2015: SCMP (the best), archdaily and more mentions in the SCMP: [38] [39]. I'm not convinced that those are enough to meet GNG though. I think it may be better to merge and redirect to the developer/owner company (Hang Lung Properties) which doesn't make any mention of the mall. I seem to remember us doing something similar with articles about American malls. SmartSE (talk) 22:36, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - We don't know the motivation for the article creation, but in its current form it's quite innocuous. It has received substantial coverage from reliable sources.[40][41] And it's the location of the world's largest Apple Store.[42] These are just English sources. It would be willful ignorance to believe there isn't much more coverage in Chinese. --Oakshade (talk) 00:35, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Subject of the article is a non-notable shopping centre. Even the references providing by Oakshade fail to establish notability.   «l|Promethean|l»  (talk) 22:14, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Correction - Removing a notability tag without discussion is not an improvement, it's vandalism and runs counter to the principles of consensus. The fact that you added a mediocre source whilst removing the tag is an unfortunate coincidence, but doesn't offset the undesirable behavior you exhibited.   «l|Promethean|l»  (talk) 04:02, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep Per WP:TVSERIES. Bitag apparently airs on People's Television Network, which is the official national network. The investigative series Bitag regularly gets covered in popular media,[47][48][49][50][51]... There was perhaps no need to prompt this into an Afd; the newbie editor could have been guided on WP:TVSERIES. Lourdes 03:00, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Though I was just brought into this AfD nomination by familiarity with the topic of the article, I agree with above. If you can add any usable RS or update the article, why don't you do it yourself. The TV show as a public service has played a role in resolving corrupt practices and crime as a media between the people and law enforcement and the courts, and regular media coverage is enough to keep this here. -TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 04:12, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Band fails WP:NBAND and WP:GNG. The majority of the sources are affiliated to the subject and those that aren't do not prove notability. The article reads like a fan site. Domdeparis (talk) 11:29, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article could probably be better sourced (and I can do some independent research on that when I get some time; I've had a recent death in the family) and rewritten, but they pass WP:NBAND, as they have definitely "become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style". They are currently one of the most well-known and popular bands in the Steampunk subculture. If memory serves, they have also won several regional music competitions; I'll do some research on that as well. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 17:12, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The sources need to be added to show this. As it is the article doesn't prove this. And sorry to hear about your loss. Domdeparis (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you will make the effort. I remember a few weeks ago there was an article deleted for a stand alone member of this band, and at the time I questioned the validity of this parent article, but acknowledged I know next to nothing about the steampunk subculture. Since then I've done a little bit of self-educating. This band indeed likely seems they are important enough to the genre to merit an article, but--as the nomination states--it is coming up short the way it is currently written and sourced. I agree time and effort need to be put in to bring it up to muster, so I'll refrain from i-voting until then. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I may be wrong but Allmusic biographies are mostly user generated content and not a biography or a review written by staff but from information submitted for inclusion. As it says on Allmusic it is a comprehensive database and from what I gather it has an inclusive policy and does not select biographies on notability criteria. I would be more interested to know which sources from the article you consider demonstrate notability. Domdeparis (talk) 08:28, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
AllMusic is a mixed bag and tough to gauge notability from a profile there alone. At one time it was, in fact, a source with proper editorial oversight and a profile there was a pretty good indicator of what could translate into wikipedia notability. The company was purchased 8 years ago by Rovi (now owned by TiVo) which made its goal to cross-pollinate All Music's content with their database. The point is to provide artist information on any artist that has a product for sale in their database. And, yes, their website contains instructions for artists and publicists to submit content to help create these profiles. Bottom line: the merits of AllMusic profiles need to be assessed on a case by case basis; it is possible for an artist to have an entry there while at the same time failing to meet any other kind of WP:MUSIC standard. I will add that the profile for this particular artist seems to reads like something written with considerable help from submitted, promotional materials rather than an independently researched entry. Take that for what it's worth. ShelbyMarion (talk) 12:49, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Unless I am very much mistaken the independent albums chart does not appear here Wikipedia:Record_charts and so is not applicable for WP:NBAND but I may have misread the criteria. Domdeparis (talk) 17:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject was in a notable band 25 years ago. But as an individual outside of that band, he fails WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO and WP:CREATIVE. The only vaguely reliable source I can find is the one in the UK tabloid newspaper The Sun which is already referenced in the article – even this only mentions his post-Kris Kross life in passing, and any reference to his One Life Entertainment and Urbane Muse companies could easily be included in a single line in the Kris Kross article. All other references found online are primary sources, including the two images used in the article, which are taken from the Urbane Muse website. Article creator is a WP:SPA who has only edited this article and the Kris Kross article, and has already had a previous version of this article, Chris smith of kris kross, deleted from Wikipedia.

  • Comment Despite there are few reference of other international organisations that refer the "Yogykarta Principles in Action", I believe that the multilingual translations of full text of the Yogyakarta Principles, which are not official language of United Nation, have notability. In addition to an examples of human rights defending. Therefore I believe that this topic is suitable for condition and standard of English Wikipedia. Also the name of this article may be changed into "Activist Guide to the Yogyakarta Principles" if more citations from relating human rights organisations could be find. I hope more kind, tolerant and productive help for me on the topics--LilyKitty (talk) 16:14, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

LilyKitty (talk · contribs) while writing by human rights organisations may be used as sources for content in the article, the notability of a subject can only be WP:V verified by WP:RS reliable sources. One requisite for a source to be RS is that it is secondary - an affiliated chartiy championing the same cause may not qualify as secondary if its part of the cause. If you have WP:RS to verify the notability, please add them to the article as you seem knowledgeable about this subject and is the best qualified to find the required sources. 22:11, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Searching gNews on each of the the titles, sometimes with keyword "Cobain," produced absolutely nothing. The books do appear on Amazon.com.

This press's website Create Amazing tales fo rth e Dragon; Become One of Our Dragons!, inviting would be authors to format and submit competed manuscripts, makes me suspicious that our page on this press is a little too credulous, it may be some sort of self-publish or pay-to-publish scam or scheme.

  • Delete has a unique name, and a gNews search gets some hits: Virtual valets, or how to look good online, a BBC article that has this to say about him: "Dane Cobain is a social media specialist at marketing agency FST Group. He runs the social media activities of up to half a dozen clients at a time... 'Individuals are still brands,' he said.... Mr Cobain's agency offers a range of services, from initial strategic advice to taking over the entire feed. The cost depends on how much support is required, he explained, but the results are often tangible." Looking into my WP:CRYSTAL, I see that the "results" he produces for clients might include a Wikipedia page. Be that as it may, the page is persuasive looking, until you start to look at sources. I checked the first one, and removed it, it was an article by him, not an article about him, and the only bio info in it was his author byline. The mainstream media sources in the article that I checked are either written by him, or quote him briefly in his capacity as a social media professional, sometimes as an individual available and willing to talk about personal subjects like having depression or the difficulties of a small-town-kid moving to the big city. These are essentially man-in-the street interviews and do not support notability. I don't see any reviews of his books, anything to indicate that his writing is notable, any profiles of him, or anything to indicate that his career as a social media professional is a notable one. I admit that I gave up searching after a short time, because I was finding so little.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:32, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete He posts on a lot of social media, but my searches show WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS to be lacking. The claim of notability, "an American talk show host, YouTube personality, and political pundit, and serves as the main political fill-in host for online news show The Young Turks" is unsupported by sources. The Young Turks is a minor/niche youtube webcast, and he is not one of its leading personalities. The previous AfD attracted a single iVoter, who cited a lot of web sites like Burnt Orange Report, and Kickass News. I'm not even sure that this is a case of WP:TOOSOON because he's been self-promoting as a political pundit since 2012, according to the page; the last 5 years has been a Golden Age for the production of young political pundits, but this self-styled "pundit" appears not to have caught on.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:15, 22 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the fancy name, there appears to be no evidence this entity is notable, as defined by WP:BASIC. Right now, we have three sources: their own website, their bylaws (hosted on their website) and the decree that created them. Obviously, we're a long way off from "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". - Biruitorul Talk 13:25, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I note the article creator has added several more links, but none of these are especially convincing. We have passing mention (a cabinet minister gave a speech at a venue jointly hosted by the institute), a report on a study about the minimum wage (the study author happens to work at the institute), passing mention (some guy gave a speech at the institute), a link to a paper on their site and passing mention about another conference.
What is still glaringly lacking are sources about the institute, as opposed to routine, trivial mention of its activities. - Biruitorul Talk 15:06, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This public agency was created by Decree of the Government of Romania in 1998. Its budget is also approved by the the Parliament of Romania as part of the national budget. References to both the decree creating the institute and the law approving its budget have been added. Several references to its activities published by the Romanian National Press Agency (AGERPRES) have also been added. References from international sources in Poland and Moldova have also been added. The original criticism was that the references to its nature and mission were from its own website, but they were in fact legal texts approved either by the Romanian Government or the Romanian Parliament and published in the official journal. Now the reference to these legal texts is direct to the Legislative Portal sponsored by the European Union and the Romanian government. —  Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki15071 (talkcontribs) 10:12, 24 October 2017‎

    • I suggest you contemplate the implications of the general notability standard: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The fact that something is created by decree or funded from a public budget does nothing to advance a case of notability. Neither do the trivial mentions I've analyzed above rise to a level of "significant coverage". - Biruitorul Talk 13:21, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm afraid Wiki15071 has misunderstood the points about notability in several ways, including the following. (1) There may be a case for changing the notability guidelines so that factors such as an organisation's budget being approved by a parliament contribute to notability, but at present that is not so. (And in any case, such a blanket criterion, without restrictions, would make no sense, as presumably we could then have articles about the group of people employed to clean the floor in a parliament building.) (2) Texts published by a government about an organisation set up by that government are no more independent sources than is the web site of the organisation itself. (3) Wiki15071 refers to "references from international sources in Poland and Moldova", but the nature of those sources can be illustrated by the one at the web site "Polish Aid", which merely tells us The European Institute of Romania has published on its website an article on the Polish system of development cooperation. The text was drafted in reference to the Polish participation in the conference on the Romanian model of development cooperation in Sibiu in July 2013. It contains information about the policy areas, implementation and financing of the Polish development cooperation program "Polish aid." That is not substantial coverage of The European Institute of Romania. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. My checks and searches have confirmed what Biruitorul has said: this institute does not seem to have attracted any substantial coverage anywhere other than in sources connected to the institute. Brief mentions are not enough. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 11:02, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as article creator. Doesn't fit the description of WP:LISTCRUFT, and the fact that an article will grow over time is not a reason for deletion. This is encyclopedic information, as evidenced by the fact that 1) Fully 25% of the entries in the list are standalone notable (all the articles in Category:T-Mobile Arena) and 2) of the rest of the entries, almost all of them are already listed elsewhere in the encyclopedia (such as at the articles about the various concert tours). This list simply takes encyclopedic, reliably sourced information and groups it by an obvious attribute (location). Also, see this discussion, where there was no consensus for the notion that such lists are not encyclopedic. Toohool (talk) 16:48, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If an WP:List article should be deleted just because it goes on and on, should other articles such as List of earthquakes in New Zealand or List of earthquakes in Japan be deleted as well since not every earthquakes are notable or noteworthy? Stating the frequency of updating an event as a criteria for deletion is not a very good reason in my opinion because every WP:List articles will be getting tremendously long eventually, it is only a matter of time. I do believe that the article page should be keeped, but I don't think every single event should be listed. My advice is that only mention a list of concert events while brief description for all other non-concert events such as sports, rallies or beauty pageants would suffice. Great job to the creator of this page for a well sourced article! Xinyang Aliciabritney (talk) 14:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Unlike some, similar, articles this article is clearly laid out and extremely well referenced. I fail to understand why the nominator feels that such lists would be acceptable for single purpose venues such as Soldier Field and Wrigley Field, but not a multipurpose venue, such as this.
    The partial quotation from WP:NOTDIRECTORY cited above relates to broadcasters, not venues, and reads in full: "For example, an article on a broadcaster should not list upcoming events, current promotions, current schedules, format clocks, etc., although mention of major events, promotions or historically significant program lists and schedules may be acceptable."
    There is no specific advice under WP:NOTDIR for venues. If we try to consider a parallel interpretation, then the "upcoming events" should probably be removed, but the rest of the list is a clear parallel to "historically significant program lists" so should be retained. IMHO WP:NOTDIR would need major clarification/expansion before it could be used to support such a deletion and, any policy/guideline review should consider the entire group of articles, not pick off individual articles one at a time. - Arjayay (talk) 16:12, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As extremely well referenced as it is, it still falls under criteria 7 of WP:LISTCRUFT: The list has no content beyond links to other articles, so would be better implemented as a (self-maintaining) category. Soldier Field and Wrigley Field host 2-5 events a year, not 50. JTP (talkcontribs) 00:23, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LISTCRUFT is only an essay, not a policy or guideline, and it has not been vetted, or adopted, by the community. Your suggestion that lists for rarely used venues are acceptable, while lists for regularly used venues are unacceptable, seems remarkably counterintuitive. - Arjayay (talk) 10:12, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete, and either of the editors who suggested redirecting can do so if they wish to. "Redirect ... alternatively we could keep" can't really be regarded as an argument for keeping, especially when the only reason given is "per WP:GNG", with no explanation why the subject satisfies that guideline. The only other reason given for keeping is that "AfD is for article deletions only" rather than for moving or merging the content, but since nobody has suggested doing either of those, while three editors have suggested deletion, that is irrelevant. Other than those there is clear consensus for deletion. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:38, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was by the article's creator contested on the grounds that he plays for Naxxar Lions FC. However, since Maltese football is not fully pro, this does not confer notability.

  • Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 08:53, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY as Maltese league is not yet professional. The only source provided also might fail WP:PRIMARY. Article can always be recreated if and when subject meets said requirements. Inter&anthro (talk) 02:40, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete According to the editor that create this article he played for Botafogo in top flight Brazilian league, if that's right he would pass NFOOTY, but I had a good google search and can't see any evidence for this. So I am under the impression some of this information is false. So delete on WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTY. Govvy (talk) 11:33, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there is no indication that this article passes any of our notability guidelines, and I have been unable to locate any evidence that this footballer even appeared for Botafogo in either the state or Brazilian championships. Jogurney (talk) 14:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:FOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 07:21, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Yes, as of now, this game show has no secondary press/media coverage. But that is not unusual for a kid's show like this that hasn't even premiered yet (it premieres at 8pm tonight). As it is, I have found a primary source for this, as well as the official webpage for the show, and have improved the article. With a scheduled release date on a national cable network, this currently meets the requirements of WP:TVSHOW. We can revisit this later, after the show has aired for a while, to see what the secondary coverage looks like. --IJBall (contribstalk) 19:38, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've now added a secondary Canadian source (not quite sure of the quality of the source) from about a week ago. But secondary coverage still looks scant... Still sticking with my current !vote. --IJBall (contribstalk) 03:24, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep nationally broadcast and should receive some secondary coverage in the near future Atlantic306 (talk) 22:11, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Let this page stay. It is one of Nickelodon's latest game shows. Plus, the other users are right about their claims here. --Rtkat3 (talk) 14:54, 26 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious spam of a non-notable company/software that is excluded by both criteria of WP:N: it fails in receiving substantial coverage that is intellectually independent and it also fails WP:NOT as a promotional directory listing. All the sourcing that exists is your typical press release churn, top 10 lists, and trade press, and get no real coverage of the likes that we typically expect of companies.

    • If it were an article about the company and not the software, it would be A7 eligible, IMO. When it was created, the article was specifically about the software. I don't personally buy the startup/software distinctions (its like saying there is a difference between Uber the app and Uber the firm), but enough people on en.wiki do make a distinction that I thought it worth sending to AfD.

Non-notable spam article likely created in violation of the terms of use by a undeclared paid editor based on behavioral evidence. Its excluded by both points of WP:N: none of the existing sourcing that is available meets our requirements in WP:NCORP, and it is written solely to promote the entity itself, making it fail WP:NOTSPAM. In short: Wikipedia is not a venue for you to advertise a non-notable commercial sex forum. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:23, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. (I am a fluent Spanish speaker/reader.) I assessed the sources for this article and they are misleading as presented in the article. The only truly reliable source present is this article in El Mundo, but that source does not mention the article subject. I'm open to changing my position if someone arrives before the end of the week with good sources but as it stands, this article completely fails WP:N. A Traintalk 21:34, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
