Unnecessary orphan dab page: hatnote on primary topic article does all that is needed. PamD 23:24, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I am inclined to keep this disambiguation page so as to help clarify the difference between two different organisations of the same name but I can see that a hatnote on the two primary topic articles (already added) might be enough. As the author of the disambiguation page in question I am a bit biased though.--Discott (talk) 23:46, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Quick side question - if the article is deleted then where should the term (Institute of Race Relations) be pointed to? The South African Institution is older and better known in South Africa. I dont know the status of the other institute of the same name in the UK.--Discott (talk) 23:49, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:PRECISION. There is only one organisation called the Institute of Race Relations, and that is the one in the UK. According to it's own website, the South African organisation is called the "South African Institute of Race Relations". According to WP:ATDAB we should be using such natural disambiguation to differentiate. See also WP:SMALLDETAILS, which bids us use the correct name as the primary title, and the small detail the country name in the proper title as a the reason to keep the correct name as title, not Dab. A hatnote rather than a dab is sufficient - SchroCat (talk) 06:07, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We are not here to discuss the article titles, we are discussing if the Dab page which links 2 orgs with similar name can be kept or not. --DBigXray 09:28, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With both articles at their correct titles, as they are now, there is no need for this disambiguation page (and nothing will link to it), because there is a hatnote on Institute of Race Relations pointing to the South African IRR. Naming of articles affects dab pages. PamD 11:34, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
+1. This is a pointless DAB that should never have been created. Two articles have very separate names, it is pointless to have a DAB when a hatnote is more helpful. (And when I made my comment, the UK organisation's page had been moved to something unnecessary: it is now back to where it should be, making this DAB even more redundant than it was before.) - SchroCat (talk) 13:33, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I was the user who moved it back to where it should be. I agree with folks above that the hatnote is helpful here, but there is no requirement to make only 1 choice between the dab and the hatnote. The dab page can still exist. --DBigXray 13:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just because it can doesn’t mean it should. It’s a pointless addition that aids no-one. - SchroCat (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This dab page won't help anyone: no-one will reach it, as the hatnote at Institute of Race Relations does not point to it. An orphan dab page like this does no good and is potentially problematic if there is a new article with the title Institute of Race Relations (foo) whose editor sensibly adds it to the existing hatnote but does not know about this dab page, does not edit it, and it then becomes incomplete. Just delete this unnecessary dab page. If anyone wants to argue that Institute of Race Relations should not be the article title for the UK body, ie that the UK body is not the Primary Topic of the term, then a Requested Move discussion would be the way to go. But at present people using that term to find the UK body get there directly; people wanting the SA body get there in one further click. The existence of an unnecessary disambiguation page helps no-one. PamD 16:56, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLP and unsuccessful political candidate, current two links were severely lacking and are now dead. Current article is an overt political candidate PROMO statement by a WP:SPA. While subject is an AM, the current article at least needs a complete rewrite and hence WP:TNT. WP:BEFORE shows the vast majority of coverage is routine political candidate election coverage and GNG is doubtful. Note a previous PROD declined without obvious reason.

  • Keep She meets WP:ANYBIO #1 "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor." She is a Member of the Order of Australia. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:02, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You have certainly effectively TNTed the article, thanks. Re ANYBIO, okay after the TNTing but given that there has been at least one other !vote of delete the AfD cannot be withdrawn. Please note that some of your new references, at least most of what I can get access to, seem to be minor mentions and are perhaps leaning towards WP:REFBOMBING. Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 12:40, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Yes, I was aware the references were piling up, and I may do some more work on it, either to add more info from the sources, or to prune them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:35, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Being inducted into the Order of Australia is a valid notability claim, and RebeccaGreen has done a very creditable job of Heymanning the writing tone and referencing up to a much more keepable standard than they displayed at the time of nomination. Bravo. Bearcat (talk) 00:30, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm not sure if Member of the Order of Australia by itself alone is significant enough as an honour, but that honour together with sources having been improved on, and she may pass WP:GNG. Hzh (talk) 10:23, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • i think with OBEs a CBE is deemed to be the significant level so with OAs its probably Officer? Coolabahapple (talk) 14:27, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • With the Canadian equivalent, the Order of Canada, there's no rank-based cutoff as to when it counts as a notability claim and when it doesn't — the OC itself is considered a valid notability claim regardless of rank, and the only inclusion test beyond that is the ability to cite the article to some actual evidence of reliable source coverage. That is, we'll still delete an article about an OC member in the (unlikely but not impossible) event that the Order of Canada citation is the only source we can find for them, but if we can find reasonable evidence of them having received reliable source coverage in media for the work they did to get the honour, then we accept it as a notability claim even at the "member" level. National honour programs don't all work in the exact same way, and don't have exactly the same levels or the same qualifications to get named to them, so there's no one-size-fits-all notability approach that applies the same way to all of them — each country's wikicontingent needs to establish its own consensus about how notability works in relation to their own national honour system. Bearcat (talk) 16:19, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • As far as the UK is concerned, I don't think an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) is enough, for example, many in this list of people such as career diplomats don't really look notable to me - [1]. Same for those in the military (I'm not even sure of those in the military receiving a CBE). I can't state with great confidence whether this is the same with Australia, personally I would consider a superior honour to be notable. Hzh (talk) 18:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I do not see sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources here. The AM does not qualify for WP:ANYBIO #1, as has been established many, many times. (AO at least, but really AC.) Frickeg (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sam Sailor 12:33, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the coverage of her doesn't really pass WP:GNG, there's a lot of synth and non-significant coverage in the article as it stands, with the only articles on her being the award and her candidacy. The candidacy articles don't really count, either. If the AM doesn't qualify for WP:ANYBIO, then she fails both the only possible SNG along with GNG. SportingFlyer talk 00:15, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question Where are the guidelines on which level of national awards constitutes "a well-known and significant award or honor"? Frickeg says that it "has been established many, many times" that AM does not qualify; Bearcat says that "there's no rank-based cutoff" with the Order of Canada. If there are guidelines beyond WP:ANYBIO, I would very much appreciate knowing where they are. RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:37, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Every single time someone at AfD tries to say "the AM/OAM passes WP:ANYBIO!", it is established that no, actually, it really doesn't, since these awards are given to many many people, many of them worthy but not all of them notable. (In some cases, of course, the article is kept as it passes WP:GNG anyway.) There have been a few attempts at codifying this that have tended to founder, most recently here. Frickeg (talk) 12:12, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think there's any formal policy document that spells it out, because it's dependent on context. I can confirm that for the Order of Canada, we definitely don't have any comprehensive attempts happening to rush-job every new OC member into Wikipedia the moment the new induction announcements come out — but when an article about an OC member does happen, we check for whether they can be shown to pass WP:GNG or not rather than just automatically accepting the OC announcement itself as the magic notability maker for a person who doesn't have any other sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 19:22, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you both for your replies. What I see at the Talk page you linked to, Frickeg, is that there is no agreed policy, and you said "This whole idea could use formalising because I for one am tired of having to argue that ANYBIO doesn't cover, say, the Medal of the Order of Australia or the Centenary Medal" - which suggests to me that other editors think that it does. And although my Keep vote was based on WP:ANYBIO, I have also provided other references, so it's up to others to decide if they are sufficient for WP:GNG. (I don't know why the candidacy article wouldn't count - News Corp, News.com.au's owner, is owned by Rupert Murdoch, and is most definitely independent of the Greens.) RebeccaGreen (talk) 20:22, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I consider candidacy announcements routine reporting when evaluating GNG, especially so in Australia, where the candidates are rarely independent of the parties they are running for (IE, you tend to vote for the party more than the individual candidate because the candidates tend not to have leeway on making policy as individuals, conscience votes and all that - obviously there are exceptions.) Identifying these sources as routine ties in with our unelected candidates not being presumptively notable guideline. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if there were other sources out there which haven't been considered yet. SportingFlyer talk 21:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - AM is not an automatic marker of notability (at a quota of 340 awards per year it can hardly be considerd a "significant" award). Other coverage is routine or unreliable. Yeti Hunter (talk) 23:17, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The article is sourced only to its own official site. Based on the talk page, the article was written by the movie's creator. A search for coverage in reliable sources literally turns up nothing. Fails notability in spades. -- Whpq (talk) 16:56, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Subject is mentioned frequently in newspapers and magazines of the period, such as The New York Times and New York (magazine), which is not surprising given his role as the $1 a year Commissioner for Public Events, his involvement in the (American football) Giants leaving Yankee Stadium, the Democratic National Convention, etc, etc. Whether or not he's notable in Wikipedia terms is certainly worthy of discussion, but there are lots of sources out there. Bakazaka (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can actually write and source something much more substantive than this. I can largely only deep-scan for Canadian media coverage in his period of activity, so I can't actually evaluate whether or not he has a stronger notability claim than what little is actually stated about him here — but as written, this doesn't clinch anything by itself, and it takes more than just an obituary in the local newspaper to get a person over WP:GNG on "notable just because media coverage exists" grounds, and even the fact that the newspaper in question happens to be The New York Times still isn't a notability freebie that exempts him from actually having to have a stronger notability claim than just the existence of an obituary.

  • Keep per WP:LISTPURP, WP:CLN, and WP:ATD. Contra the nominator's claim, we have at least 19 notable entries for this list just judging from the corresponding category alone, Category:Christmas and holiday season parades. So there is obviously enough to support it as an index of articles, and whether the list should also contain nonnotable entries is a question for normal editing and discussion to address, and there has been no attempt to even discuss this on the list's talk page. In any event, we have no substantive complaint raised here that would call for deletion. postdlf (talk) 01:53, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • No opinion on notability, but if the article is to be removed, the title should probably be redirected to 3B Junior. Dekimasuよ! 03:06, 11 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • 3B Junior has been dissolved, so that won't be correct. And I personally think that a red link would be more useful, cause it would encourage someone to create the article in the future.
      By the way, right now the group is only one month old and hasn't released anything, so it was clearly too soon to create an article about it. I, personally, can't save this article now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:56, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dekimasu: I've just noticed that Bakazaka already said the group was a month old.
      But no, I don't think redirecting is a good idea in this case. I remember there were some prominent AKB48 members (for example, Mayu Watanabe) that were redirected and no one would recreate their articles for months or even years. Probably because the links were already blue. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:09, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to 3B Junior. Hard to find a clearer case of WP:TOOSOON than this group, which just came into existence last month. Maybe they'll be notable in the future, in which case the edit history will be there, but until that happens the group does not merit its own article.

  • Userfy if the article creator agrees to that. This article was only created today and lacks some significant information that one would expect to find in an article about a TV series. If someone actually plans to improve it, it might be worth keeping after it is significantly improved. But if nobody plans to improve it, it should be deleted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:31, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the history of the article, I see the creator of the article has a name in red letters, meaning that the author of the article does not have a user page as yet.Vorbee (talk) 09:11, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That shouldn't affect the decision here. Neither User:Seoryoung nor any other editor is required to have a user page if they don't want one. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:46, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate that, but I want to know what the above Wikipedian means by "Userfy". Did this mean putting the article on the editor's user page? This would be difficult, in fact, not possible, if the editor does not have a user-page. Also, it would be difficult to leave messages on the talk page of the editor's user-page, meaning it would be difficult to see whether the article's creator agrees to any proposals discussed here. Vorbee (talk) 17:36, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Userfication. By "Userfy", I mean that the article could be moved to a subpage of the editor's userpage, that is, User:Seoryoung/Let's read a book book. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:21, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't lend much notability to this event. If this were the only tornado on record to have moved westward it might be worthy of an article, but this is not unprecedented behavior; it's a minor idiosyncrasy. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:29, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not meeting WP:GNG. No in-depth coverage in reliable and independent sources can be found. No indication of independent global notability. I tried multiple search terms to retrieve some kind of coverage, but failed to do so. Hitro talk 10:34, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]


The reason I created this article is that CMU's alma mater does not have any page on it previously despite several of its peer institutions having them (i.e University of Pittsburgh, Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, [[Bright College Years |Yale University]], University of California system, University of Florida, etc.). Some of these pages have fewer references than the CMU one. I oppose this article's deletion. Avatarfanx2 (talk) 22:37, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to Carnegie Mellon University traditions. "not enough information to justify a stand alone article" does not justify deletion - see WP:BEFORE. On the other hand, the proposed target in itself is far from certain to survive. The main issue is that the topic of the article is wholly unsourced (the primary source given is only relevant to the extraneous background included in the article). I suggest that the author provides some reliable secondary sourcing as matter of some urgency. Just Chilling (talk) 22:11, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A worthy part-time preacher, obviously a decent guy, but with no evidence, or claim, of notability. The sources I've checked have been focussed on his son Roland Mars, in which Harold gets a passing mention. Cabayi (talk) 14:01, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cabayi, when you first nominated this article for deletion on December 9th, you gave as a reason: "Sourced by a newspaper article which can't be verified ("harold+mars"+site%3Aprovidencejournal.com) and by his son's obituary." In response to this comment I added eight new references, all of which are focused entirely on Harold Mars, not his son. I also pointed out on the talk page of the article that a simple Google search for "Harold Mars" and "Providence Journal" can't give any results, because the Providence Journal's archives are not available for free, and are thus not indexed by Google. In order to access the archives you would have to go to a library and access them through a database, or else go to the Journal's archive service and pay a fee. The bottom line is that there are nine references given in the article which prove his notability within the context of the state of Rhode Island, and of the Narragansett Indian Nation. Among other things for instance, he was a major source for a Berkeley anthropologist's book on New England native folklore; he is profiled extensively in the same anthropologist's book on the Narragansett people; there was a cover story on him in the Providence Journal's Sunday Magazine in 1986; and there is an exhibit about him in the Tomaquaq museum (the museum of the Narragansett Indian nation) currently on display. All of these references are given in the article as of December 9th. -Wwallacee (talk) 16:06, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Too soon for a separate article from 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries - the article is mainly speculation based on a single recent press release. Arglebargle79 spun off this (as well as the candidates page) from that page and appears extremely upset by that last decision; there is no way a merge/redirect back would be noncontroversial. power~enwiki (π, ν) 02:15, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEP. There is enough to justify an article, and it is NOT based on a "single press release." It in fact was a press conference by the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As the DNC is the authorizing entity, it is entirely reliable. The organization process has officially started and the approximate schedule has been announced. No things are going to change, of course, and there's going to be lots of complaints and the like as there were the last few times, Gary Johnson, for example. I know, a call for deletion of EVERY article for events that have been scheduled in advance is par for the course, but for the love of Mike, leave the article here so we don't have to start over in three weeks....Arglebargle79 (talk) 12:30, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect still WP:TOOSOON for this one. A redirect will leave the history intact so you don't have to "start over" when the time comes, but I would strongly suggest asking on the talk page before arbitrarily reinstating it, if this were to pass as a redirect.
