Fish hook theory[edit]

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

Contested PROD. This seems to be insufficiently notable for an article. The sources are few and poor. Two of them are by the same author and one is primary. At least one is not RS. This is nowhere near meeting our requirement for significant coverage in reliable sources. Looking in Google Books, Newspapers and Scholar it seems that this political usage is not even the most widely used meaning the term has. (It mostly seems to refer to something religious, which I did not look at closely as it is very obviously nothing to do with the subject of this article. I have no idea whether that is notable but if it is then it would seem to have a better claim on this article title than this subject.) There is also something called the "Fish Hook Effect" which turns up in searches but that is something to do with meteorology and is no help here. This subject barely pokes its head out of the RS Google hits. There is just enough to provide verifiability that the theory does exist but it seems to be one academic's personal theory with just a few fans. There is nothing wrong with that (And who knows whether it will become more widely accepted in the future?) but it does not qualify for an article at this time. It already has quite sufficient (possibly rather more than sufficient) coverage in the Horseshoe theory article. DanielRigal (talk) 21:44, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per nominator, who I believe has harvested some of his reasons from comments I have made on the talkpage and on Horseshoe theory (Fish hook theory is explicitly a reaction to Horseshoe theory). I should note that the two sources by the same author are actually the same text published in two different (non-academic) venues, so there is even less sourcing than first appearances. Fish hook theory isn't a thing in political science circles at all. The twice-cited text even dismisses it as basically a meme. To clarify the principle I think should apply here: some people have supported deletion of Horseshoe Theory because it is generally not supported in current academic circles, but a key difference is that Horseshoe theory is recognised as an idea in political science enough that academics spend time discussing the evidence for it. Here, there does not appear to be any such notability derivable from academic sources. OsFish (talk) 05:26, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Singer has received little significant coverage in reliable sources in her own right, and her discography is not nearly as impressive as it appears in the article. Wading through several broken links and retail sites, you will find that she has performed as a "featured" singer in a few tracks by other people, and those few songs have been used in repetitive various-artist compilations and remix albums. I can find no music released under her own name, or media notice of her appearances with others, so her independent notability is suspect. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:30, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Earthquakes is not documenting insignificant events like this one, either as standalone articles or as list entries. Our efforts are instead being focused on creating complete, interesting, and encyclopedic articles that require significant coverage. This one fails multiple aspects of WP:EVENT and our own notability guidelines because of the following concerns:

  • This was not a destructive earthquake (no injuries or deaths and superficial damage)

This USGS entry tells part of the story (select the "Impact" section for a description of where this event was felt (felt events aren't notable))

  • Note that the "guideline" Dawnseeker refers to is in fact an WP:ESSAY, NOT a guideline. This is probably a good faith error on Dawnseeker's part, editors do sometimes confuse essays with guidelines.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:37, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Response@Icewhiz: What don't these sources talk about? Dawnseeker2000 21:54, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Icewhiz:, these papers don't discuss substantial effects. This was not a destructive earthquake, but the Canadian scientists leapt at the chance to take a close look at the event nevertheless. Do you want to look at each source individually to see how it could be applied to the article? Dawnseeker2000 00:03, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Icewhiz: Lots of earthquakes have been studied and have dedicated journal articles, but many of them don't qualify as encyclopedia articles, so what do these papers discuss that make this a notable earthquake? Dawnseeker2000 13:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of notable events don't have Wikipedia articles - yet - Wikipedia is a work in progress. I would posit that irrespective of criteria which creates a presumed notability (e.g. the WP:NEARTHQUAKE essay says a magnitude of 7.0 or clearly attributable deaths) - if an event meets WP:GNG due to coverage it is notable. I for instance consider Bottle flipping to be frivolous, yet it qualifies for an article as it is covered by sources. Icewhiz (talk) 13:17, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Icewhiz: What is the content of the sources that you listed? Said another way, what part of the content implies that this EQ is notable (what are they saying?). That the sources is exist doesn't necessarily mean that the event is encyclopedic. Dawnseeker2000 07:53, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my view, nearly any topic with sustained, in-depth coverage in RSes meets GNG - irrespective of non-coverage based assessments of significance. I will note that the NEARTHQUAKE essay suggest thay earthquakes in low sesmic zones may be notable also of they do not reach the specified threshold in the essay.Icewhiz (talk) 04:44, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@IE.M.Gregory: So another way of what you're saying is that for every earthquake that has journal articles we should have a corresponding WP article. Is that what you're saying? Dawnseeker2000 07:49, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The page references a notable event that occurred somewhere on Earth, and should be sufficient under NEVENT. I dont believe that a natural event requires casualties to gain notability. WillPeppers (talk) 13:19, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If editors in the geological field have developed a standard where people have to be killed/injured in a geological event, rather than just receive significant coverage in journals (which this obviously did have per the above editors), then that's a dumb standard - but I doubt they have. The standard is WP:GNG, we don't decide what's notable based on what we think is notable, we let reliable, independent sources determine that for us.

  • Dawnseeker, While it is true that this earthquake does not meet project-specific guidelines, it is also true that we keep articles that fail project-specific guidelines all the time, mostly because discussion of some topics in media, books, film does occur for reasons outside the project-specific guidelines. In this case, what editors above are arguing is that because this earthquake is discussed in the sources mentioned above, and in others such as Small quake hits Kipawa area: Few feel rumbles that register 3.3: (Cramer, Brandi. North Bay Nugget; North Bay, Ont. [North Bay, Ont26 Oct 2005: A2.) "In January 2000, the same region was hit by an earthquake registering 5.2."], that seem to crop up every time an earthquake, however minor, hits this region, the cumulative coverage and user-friendliness of this article makes it a keep. Despite the fact that as earthquakes go, this one was no great shakes.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:38, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Still formulating the response. Thanks, Dawnseeker2000 19:49, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Issues[edit]

What I'm seeing with this AfD are that inexperienced editors are making statements about this situation. I can say that with confidence because the responses to their statements have included questions that have gone unanswered. The opposition to the deletion have not yet made arguments for keeping the article. None of them has experience in the earthquake article space (if I've overlooked or missed your significant contributions for some reason please post links to earthquake articles). My thinking is this: How is one supposed to decide whether an earthquake is notable or not if they've never worked on an earthquake article? This AfD is about the maintenance of a WikiProject's articles.

  • An argument against deletion is an argument for keeping and many arguments against deletion, based on policy, have been made. Specifically that this article meets WP:SIGCOV based on the coverage in journals and elsewhere and is not WP:MILL due to unusual timing/location of the quake. FOARP (talk) 12:57, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The sources[edit]

That scientists have an interest in a particular event and our decision to create an encyclopedia article on it do not always coincide. In other words, scientific interest and encyclopedic notability on WP aren't always the same thing. Or this question could be posed: that there are scientific papers show that the event was worthy of study in their eyes, but how and why does that also mean that it is (by default) notable in ours? This is the question that needs to be answered.

There's way more nuance about writing earthquake articles than most editors realize. That scientists are writing about earthquakes can sometimes bolster an article's potential here on WP, but the event needs to have notable aspect. Damage and/or deaths is one of the simplest ways that editors can determine notability (does the event have lasting impact?). But there are other aspects that can also be looked at in situations (like this one) that lack those obvious factors. So, what are they? That the EQ happened is not enough for an encyclopedia article. We are not an earthquake catalog that lists miscellaneous events. That would violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE.

The question[edit]

So that is the question. What are the sources (that Icewhiz posted) saying that makes this a notable event? That this question has not been answered yet is because the involved editors are out of their comfort zone. E.M.Gregory was short with me for this very reason.

To summarize the question once more: It is the content of the sources that we're needing to look at. Said another way: there are many instances of journal articles about earthquakes for which we would not create an encyclopedia article. Dawnseeker2000 03:34, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@E.M.Gregory: can you please supply the content of the sources so the community and closing admin can see what aspect of this event is notable? Or better yet, I guess Icewhiz should do us the favor, since he supplied the references. Thank you! Dawnseeker2000 08:53, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Calling us "inexperienced" (I've been on here 10+ years) is not a replacement for having an argument. Scientific journals on the topic of geology are RS for this subject matter. This earthquake received significant and sustained coverage in them. WP:SIGCOV is clearly met. The notability of this earthquake has already been discussed (timing of the quake, unusual location) so it is not WP:MILL. FOARP (talk) 12:57, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FOARP: Let me state that comment again, as I see it was misinterpreted. I see some inexperienced editors in the earthquake article space. There, a few words makes all the difference in the world, doesn't it? Tell me precisely FOARP, what is it exactly about the timing? I'm not sure what that entails and haven't yet written an EQ article about an earthquake with notable timing. Also, the location? What is it about the location that makes this one notable. Alison Bent and colleagues state that the shock "lies in a cluster of 76 earthquakes located since 1935". Please expand on your statement. Dawnseeker2000 13:22, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Timing: it was at the turn of the Millenium (hence it being called the "millenium earthquake" in the literature). Location: Earthquakes in this location are infrequent enough that one coinciding with the millenium is remarkable.
BTW - you do understand that this is an AfD discussion, right? Posting an AfD explicitly invites comments from other editors, editors who need not be (and ideally aren't) related to the subject matter. FOARP (talk) 13:34, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Advertorially-tinged WP:BLP of a writer, whose claims of notability are not properly sourced. Out of 28 references here, not a single one represents reliable source coverage about him -- every single footnote is a Q&A interview in which he's speaking about himself, a piece of his own bylined writing about other things, a glancing namecheck of his existence as a giver of soundbite in an article about something other than him, a WordPress, Blogspot or LiveJournal blog, or a primary source. And even the literary awards he's won are not major ones that constitute a WP:AUTHOR pass -- they're minor ones that can be sourced only to their own self-published websites. But the question of whether an award is notable enough to make its winners notable for winning it hinges not on verification that the award exists, but on media caring enough about it to report its winners as news. Writers, as always, are not automatically notable just because their own writings and other primary sources provide technical verification that they exist -- the notability test for a writer is not the degree to which he has been the creator of content about other things, but the degree to which he has been the subject of journalism about him created by other people, and not a single source here offers any such thing. There's also a possible conflict of interest here, as the creator's username was "Contributingauthor" and the overwhelming majority of their entire Wikipedia edit history has been to this article itself.

Biography of a person whose claim of notability as a moderator and creator of early computer bulletin board forums is not reliably sourced. Two of the four footnotes here definitively fail to mention his name at all, serving only to tangentially verify stray facts about the forums, while a third wants me to pay $51 for the privilege of reading it to verify whether it actually addresses him as a person or not. And the only other source here is a short biographical blurb in the finding aid to an archival collection of printouts of posts to the forum he organized, which means even that collection isn't really about him to any non-trivial degree either. These sources would quite honestly be stronger support for WP:CORP articles about the bulletin boards than they are for a biographical article about him as a person.

  • Delete per nom and lack of sources or links which establish notability. JC7V (talk) 18:01, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi -- I'm not 100% sure on the fomratting of how to post this comment/vote & so I appreciate your patience. I've been doing work in the ONE archives, which holds the finding aid you reference. The collections there are are about him -- to a substantial degree. In additional to biographical information about Charnow, there are printouts from the BBS which include: stories about his diagnosis, the people he helped as an AIDS activist, and interviews he conducted with doctors and physicians which he made available on the BBS. The BBS was one of the first of its kind to spread awareness about AIDS and seems to be the only one archived with primary source material. If you request the information from the archives, it's readily available. What would be the best protocol here? Surely his work is notable, if sticky to acquire. This seems to be the case with underground early internet movements, and is compounded by the urgency of the AIDS crisis. I have photographs and scans from his work in the archives which I can make available here. The protocol for original research made this murky. Kbbrewster (talk) 18:24, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

His ability to qualify for a Wikipedia article will depend on the extent to which you can show that he (not just the BBS, but him as a person) has been the subject of coverage in media. It can't be supported by his own personal papers, or by the ability to verify stray facts about the BBS — people have to have done journalism about him before he's notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. These aren't all completely worthless sources, but like I said they make a more compelling case for an article about the BBS itself, in which he could certainly have his name mentioned, than they do for a biography of him as an individual.

  • Keep Quoting BLPIE, "John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant and his role was both substantial and well documented." Saving the lives of 100 people in a tsunami is significant in itself. Furthermore Tilly Smith continues to be presented as a role model by, for example the United Nations (2011) and a book published by OUP (2009). Her role was significant not only for the event itself but by the inspiration it later gave others.[9][10][11] Notable both for news coverage of her role at the time and for much later use of her story to inspire others. HouseOfChange (talk) 14:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I have added more sources to the article, as well as moving 'Sources' to inline citations. Smith's story has been told in books and articles published in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2016, and 2018 - at least. It is used to teach about types of natural disasters, disaster preparedness, and to advocate for the importance of teaching geography. She shows no signs of being forgotten 14 years after the disaster - her role at the time was significant for the 100 or so people saved, and she has since become a role model for education about disasters. RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:57, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete There isn't any doubt that the account is well sourced, but nevertheless this doesn't seem to be particularly notable, more than a decade after the event. Those sources don't add anything new to the account - they just retell the same event again and again. Even at the time, I recall that it was debated whether she actually saved 100 people, as opposed to giving the warning to a few, resulting in the evacuation. Firefox's claim that she isn't notable at all seems a little outlandish, but equally her notability was very much something of the time. Since then she has fallen into obscurity, and the newer news articles don't add anything. In two of the three sources Houseofchange lists, she is given a cursory mention: not enough to warrant notability.TeddyBiffles (talk) 17:06, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @TeddyBiffles:: Per WP:NOTTEMPORARY: "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage." Per WP:GNG "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." The United Nations and Oxford University Press are independent and reliable sources. HouseOfChange (talk) 23:21, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, although I might be persuaded to redirect or merge to 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, neither of which involves AFD. I'm very unpersuaded by the thought that "the event itself isn't that significant" whether the event was the tsunami itself or Smith's taking action that may have saved a hundred lives.

  • Comment And if you check out 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, check out the link to our article on John Chroston, whose article has never been AfDed because why would you AfD an article about a hero who has a lot of news stories about him? Yes, OTHERSTUFF exists, but ask yourself if it has been worth Wikipedia's time and effort to mount three separate debates about Tilly Smith?

Per previous speedy deletion and PROD requests: "Slavic migrations" as a distinct historical period is WP:OR; most of the dates mentioned have nothing to do with any Slavic migrations; the topic is already dealt with far better at Early Slavs and related articles; and the page was created by veteran sockmaster with a rather long history of pushing fringe POVs on early Slavic history and the very dubious-quality History and Archaeology Through Laboratory Examinations as a source, so WP:DENY applies.

Insufficient coverage of the subject in reliable sources, does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. Several articles mere-mention the subject, and a few quote him, but there doesn't appear to be enough information about Ignasi Puig Claret himself to justify an article–the article as written currently reflects this, as essentially all of the content is about the company the subject founded, SCPF. The only source that appears to provide in-depth coverage of the subject ([12]) does not appear to be a reliable source.

I was out and did not know that the article had been approved and postulated for deletion on the same day.

  • Comment I have commented elsewhere on the number of articles being moved into mainspace and nominated for AfD on the same day - it seems unfortunate, and going against WP:BITE. Here, as 9 of the 15 references have the company name, SCPF, in the headline, it seems possible, as the nominator suggests, that it is the company which is notable (although I think there are different criteria for companies ....), and it might be better to frame the article around the company, with a mini bio of this person (and the others, S, C and F, or whatever). Would it be possible to create that article and redirect this person to that article? or merge? RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:21, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    WP:CRYSTAL. Sources have to actually exist. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:54, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The Blade of the Northern Lights, My vote is only partly based on WP:NEXIST in that there may be significant coverage of Elias Wen in reliable sources from the early to mid 20th century and from Chinese media. Someone who did what he did would surely be covered more decades ago than in the last decade (save for obituary articles). My vote, however is mostly based on the fact that he was one of the highest ranking Chinese people in the Orthodox Church and the oldest orthodox priest in history which is a pretty big claim of significance and the sources provided in the article seem fine enough. I am willing to change my vote if my searches don't turn up any trace of WP:NEXIST. JC7V (talk) 01:32, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This poor fellow got the Scarlet Letter of a Wikipedia BLP for being the illegitimate child of the wife of Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandson.

There are WP:RS, however, with two exceptions they simply mention this guy's existence in relation to the paternity lawsuit his mother launched when he was an infant. The two exceptions are articles which basically report on the subject politely saying "no comment" when being hounded by reporters for quotes followed by, what appears to be, simply a regurgitation of this very WP entry.

On the basis of both WP:BLP1E and WP:INHERITED I think we should dispense with this article. Chetsford (talk) 10:50, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – Beckwith does not appear to be poor, either financially (with a large settlement gained near adulthood) or because he has a WP article. There's no sourced mention of 'hounding', just that he doesn't grant interviews and said "let's let the past be the past." History is what happened; we may not like what happened, but that's not a justification for covering it up. Let it be. For the subject's supposed insignificance, the article has been receiving on average over 200 views per day. If deletion is decided, I suggest that content be merged with his mother's former husband's article. —ADavidB 14:34, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"If deletion is decided, I suggest that content be merged" In principal I have no issue with this, however, all that content is currently in his mother's article. In fact, with the exception of the last two sentences - establishing that he's a lawyer and doesn't give interviews - this is basically a duplication of his mother's article.

The article about his birth certificate father, Robert, also does not include: his birthplace, which court ordered the blood test, educa to tion information, how his mother came to meet Robert, any info about the financial settlement given, or any info on where he or his mother went. The sources for much of this include the Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and USA Today. —ADavidB 01:54, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Satisfies WP:GNG. The New Yorker article and the Palm Beach Post article represent signficant coverage about the subject in reliable sources. WP:BLP1E refers to events and is not relevant here, the subject is notable for one reason, not for one event. WP:INHERITED is also not releveant as it is about notability being inherited when the subject does not otherwise satisfy notability guidelines.--Pontificalibus 10:02, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I can't see any real notability here. It's all about Abe.

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. The only stated notability claim here is that he and his work exist, and the sources are an online bookstore, his author profile on the self-published website of his own publishing company, and a single news article in which he isn't the subject, but merely gets glancingly namechecked as a giver of soundbite in an article about somebody else -- none of which are notability-supporting sources.

Even if it were printed on fig leaves it would be notable and important. But it is not an academic journal and does not claim to be one. -The Gnome (talk) 06:20, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After reading this comment, I took a closer look and removed a section about the who-downed-the-Red-Baron debate with soruces tah didn't mentioned Bashow or his book, just the debate, covered at Manfred von Richthofen. The page may indeed have begun as PROMO. It is entirely possible that most of our bio pages do. but we keep the notable ones. Note that this man has had muliiple books reviewed in scholarly journals and general circulation newspapers, that his books are cited (not high numbers of citations, but cited) by scholars; that his books are discussed and debated in general circulation newspapers, and that there had been at least one newspaper profile of him - when a rewrite/update of a 20 year old book was published. this is the sort of coverage that passes WP:AUTHOR.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:51, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Résumé-esque and completely unsourced article about a television producer. As always, this role does not confer an automatic inclusion freebie on every television producer who exists -- she needs to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage about her to get over WP:GNG, but apart from the external link to the self-published website of a show she's directly affiliated with this article has been completely unreferenced since the day it was created in 2007.

  • Note @Patrick lp, Indidea, Amitkma, Olivierd13, FranckLefevre, and Alexletroll: Notability is established by citing professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically about the subject but not dependent upon nor affiliated with it. Being mentioned as a derivative work of a notable subject does not qualify it for notability because they are not specifically about this subject. Press releases are useless because they're not independent. Forums and Youtube videos are useless because anyone can start those up. Saying that there are papers out there doesn't do any good if they're not cited. These reasons are why your keep !votes (this process is not actually about the number of votes) are going to be ignored when the consensus is determined. If you want to really establish a consensus of "keep," you will need to cite professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are specifically about /e/ but not dependent upon nor affiliated with it.

A random World Cup match like Peru vs. Iran from 1978 has received no such continuing coverage and is thus ineligible for a separate article barring some sudden and major development of interest.

      • @SounderBruce: I actually think that WP:SPORTSEVENT is poorly written, World Cup games are easy to source, the Sporting event is the World Cup, each match can easily pass GNG, there are multiple sources by all different media news outlets. However this is editorial, how do you display and write each article, what's the case for independent articles separated from the main article about the event. This is when information gets too much for an article and need to be forked. GNG applies to the first instance, it doesn't need to be applied to the second or third account.

        • The third point is key: A game that is widely considered by independent reliable sources to be notable, outside routine coverage of each game, especially if the game received front page coverage outside of the local areas involved (emphasis mine). World Cup matches are widely covered but this is very much in the definition of routine (for a World Cup match). A rule of thumb is whether the specific match permeates beyond normal media and has lasting effects. Almost all World Cup matches fail this criteria. SounderBruce 16:58, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply O well, often I feel it's like talking to a brick wall, interpret what you want. Govvy (talk) 18:09, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG, no coverage that isn't run of the mill. Nothing really to merge. The last 3 defending world champions have been eliminated in the world cup group stage so Germany's early exit in 2018 isn't really that noteworthy really.

While a presenter at BBC Radio may like his work, and while he may have had an interesting turn where he won a prize in a sidewalk art contest for kids (mentioned in a local newspaper), the article itself gives no indication that he's attained real attention in his career, and I find no evidence that he meets the notability criteria in outside sources. Just 94 Google hits for "dj matt black", none of them providing any coverage for WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Largoplazo (talk) 03:13, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rebut This is still a new resouce as it stands, this artcle fits the notability criteria within its respective community and more resources will be added such...

  • Delete Hardly any reliable sources to establish notability (lots of unreliable sources in article itself), maybe a case of WP:TOOSOON. Wouldn't be opposed to draftifying it. JC7V (talk) 04:52, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Noting that the article also exists in draft form, so I am 100 percent in the delete camp for this.JC7V (talk) 07:05, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually article is really poorly written. Per WP:BADCHARTS, I don't believe that charting on Highest Global Chart rank automatically allows him to pass criteria 2 for WP:NMUSICBIO since it's not as notable as chart such as Billboard.JC7V (talk) 05:00, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is an original research toward a subject that is on itself not notable. The sources are used as WP:COATRACK to accumulate sentences toward the title, but such endeavor did not have the desired outcome. Suggest deletion. 1l2l3k (talk) 02:29, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userfy. This article was written for a class assignment, and it appears to be more of an essay than an encyclopedia article. Maybe this article can be turned into a proper encyclopedia article (under a title such as Toys in the United States), but for now it should be sent to userspace because it is not ready for the mainspace yet. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:29, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
