Fails WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:BIO1E (the article is written about the individual, not the event as the title might suggest). Any wide coverage in independent sources is unlikely to be SUSTAINED. Kb.au (talk) 23:59, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete. This one is difficult but I believe that WP:ONEEVENT applies. Lankiveil (speak to me) 00:24, 4 February 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep for now: The aftermath is broad enough that NOTNEWS doesn't apply and EVENTCRIT#2 applies (national and limited international coverage, independent memorial activities, speech by the PM, subsequent analysis, etc), and appears to be ongoing. There's the likelihood that the issue of cyberbullying will be raised at COAG next week (in which case expect further related stories on Feb 10-11), and probably subsequent legislative changes referencing Everett's death. We're in the middle of things, but I think SUSTAINED will be more likely than not. BIO1E is not an argument for zero articles, but for fewer and more general articles, and at the moment there's no better place for this article (though perhaps long term the Dolly's Dream Foundation may reach a level of notability sufficient to be able to fairly retarget the article and/or this may be best redirected to a Background section of a related article). ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 06:57, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a newspaper.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:23, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a newspaper nor a memorial nor a repository of every local suicide due to unfortunate external factors. This is not sufficiently encyclopedic or notable. SunChaser (talk) 12:09, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a tragic topic, and I really feel for her family. However, it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for a stand-alone article. Given that the incident attracted considerable coverage, I'd suggest adding this to the List of suicides that have been attributed to bullying article.

  • Delete fails GNG, as it fails to claim any notability. It's an open and shut fail of WP:NOTDIC as it fails to go beyond a simple definition of the term and its usage. Fails WP:WORDISSUBJECT because it fails to include any encyclopedic content.GliderMaven (talk) 03:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete agree that it's just a dictionary entry with some references added to make it seem like a topic worthy of an article. Nufy7 (talk) 11:54, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong soft redirect to Wiktionary. WP:SOFTSISP. Only four articles link here, but this article has been repeatedly recreated. umbolo 21:43, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or soft redirect per Nufy7. There are many other words suffixed with -tard (see Wiktionary:Category:English words suffixed with -tard), and this one is not particularly notable. 93 20:15, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The term has seen enough of a popular usage today to deem it notable enough for Wikipedia's standards in my honest opinion. It is on Wiktionary, on the Oxford Dictionaries website, is used frequently on social media and now on actual media, such as various news outlets, both TV, internet, actual printed papers etc. I vote keep. --Luka1184 (talk) 16:05, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
All good arguments for including it in a dictionary. --Michig (talk) 16:13, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The word is more suited for a dictionary database than the encyclopedic equivalent. Good coverage and (at least) semi-widespread usage, but having it's own Wikipedia article? Nah, not yet. Especially not one as stubby as the current article. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 05:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a degree-awarding tertiary institution per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per the RfC that Necrothesp so delightful chooses to ignore. And so clearly states that SCHOOLOUTCOMES is not a relevant argument. The Banner talk 14:35, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm sorry? Did the RfC suddenly mutate from a discussion about secondary schools to one about tertiary institutions? I hadn't realised that it was in fact secretly about all educational institutions! Maybe you'd care to explain to all of us where it says this? Because my reading is that it refers to secondary schools only. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:36, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Colleges and universities are generally notable. The RfC cited only applies to secondary institutions, not tertiary ones. Smartyllama (talk) 17:49, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Cites no third-party sources = fails WP:V and WP:N. Colleges are no exception to verifiability. Sandstein 07:35, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Clearly doesn't fail WP:V: it's listed on a government website and I can see it right there on Google streetview, so I disagree that its existence can not verified.--Pontificalibus 09:19, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the RfC was only about secondary schools. Degree granting institutions, even more so than secondary schools, are all but guaranteed to meet the GNG, which means per WP:NPOSSIBLE, we keep them. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep government sources and past consensus to keep tertiary institutions Atlantic306 (talk) 18:03, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no sources indicate that this is in any way notable. The info that is in the article isn't even on the school's web site. I'm also not sure that this is just a college. The students in these photos look awfully young. [[1]] Also, the body of the article seems to be a cut and paste from somewhere - so maybe COPYVIO.TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Killiondude (talk) 23:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. We essentially always do keep colleges, as a plain statement of fact. We treat them as if they were all notable. The RfC on schooloutcomes did not even discus colleges or other tertiary institutions, so I do not know why people are citing it. Using it here is misrepresenting it--the words tertiary does not appear, and the word college, only in the context that information about schools can be found in college libraries. (That said, the article needs proper expansion, now that the promotionalism has been removed). DGG ( talk ) 11:33, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. DGG explains it best, where The Banner continues to falsely represent the 'non'-consensus of the RfC he frequently cites. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Brilliant, due to lack of content-related arguments, you just attack the messenger. Very, very old trick. The Banner talk 00:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By now I hope it is clear that Kudpung and I and others are rejecting not you, but your arguments. Your arguments limit the question of notability to the GNG, but at WP we make our own rules, and can make whatever exceptions to the notability guideline will benefit the encyclopedia , not just for individual articles, but for subjects. WP is better off if we make an exception to the GNG in this topic area--in order to avoid endless disagreements with each other, and the consequent tendency to get over-personal. DGG ( talk ) 06:02, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As I said here, some people who are eager to delete all school articles are now so blind that any school AfD they will summarily !vote delete without even reading the article to know what kind of school they are actually dealing with whether it is the secondary school or not. It is general consensus (whether written sonewhere or not) that all higher institutions that awards degrees are generally notable. Dvelopment of particular varsity/college article is proportional to number of editors interested and able to find sources for it.–Ammarpad (talk) 11:10, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG. There are very little references for the claims made in the article including Knights Hospitaller and being a scientist. A google search on the person turns up nothing expect a few LinkedIn style profiles. Similar for any mention in any news. A google scholar search turns up a single book published called "Interactive TV Technology and Markets". The article seems to be written in as a promotional one in my opinion.

  • Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. I can't find any significant coverage about Whiteside himself, in Highbeam, GeneralOneFile, Google.

  • Comment (with a likely Delete !vote): Having also done a WP:BEFORE as the tagger in August 2017, I had a hard time finding anything more than routine mentions (primarily from coverage of the Vermont Bucks-based coverage in the Burlington Free Press). Per NORG, I find it concerning that even their local newspaper did not cover this team, even with hosting the championship game in their so-called professional league. I use so-called because many players from this league claim to have never gotten their paychecks last season, and as of now only two teams from the previous season might still exist for the 2018 season (this and the Glens Falls Gladiators). There has been virtually no coverage for the two existing teams, from themselves or in the media, putting their status further in doubt. I know there tends to be a "presumed notability" for professional sports teams that actually played, but this one certainly reeks of non-notability right now.

  • Redirect to Can-Am Indoor Football League as a plausible search term. Not enough coverage of the team itself, but send the reader someplace they can find the info they're looking for. Smartyllama (talk) 17:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and just because a reader is looking for a particular subject doesn't mean that there has to be a redirect. That's what search engines like Google are there for. When I look for a subject the first thing I do is a Google search and if I see a WP I check that out first but if I get redirected too often to a page that is not specifically about my subject then the whole point of an encyclopedia is lost. (I am presuming that redirects are indexed) Dom from Paris (talk) 18:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are two problems with this page. First, it does not satisfy corporate notability, because neither this page nor a Google search turns up significant third-party coverage of the company.

A blog post and an article by the subject do not suffice to establish notability for this (retired, BTW) professor of journalism. Mduvekot (talk) 14:56, 3 February 2018 (UTC) Withdrawn by nominator. Article has been substantially improved. Mduvekot (talk) 21:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I respectfully ask that the AfD be withdrawn. Hester meets criteria 5 and 6 of the academic guideline. "5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
6. The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society." FloridaArmy (talk) 16:32, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to withdraw a nomination when I'm wrong, but does "head of the University of Georgia's Grady College's newspaper and magazine department" meet those two citeria? WP:NACADEMICS specifically mentions that "Lesser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone." Perhaps he meets criterion #5, since all the current departments heads at Grady College appear to hold a named chair appointment. Can we find out which one Helder held? Mduvekot (talk) 18:55, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He was "Journalism Department chair and director of the Cox International Center for Mass Communication Training and Research", which he also founded. The article is a work in progress and some of the details and organization need improvement. But I believe his meeting notability guidelines is pretty well clear cut and established at this point although it may not have been at the time of the nom, based on the state of the article at that time.

  • Keep I'm not buying the UPE argument. Who would have commissioned this article? I think it's pretty obvious that there has been an attempt on behalf of Carpenters Workshop Gallery by sockpuppets of Sollewitt, in this case Virgisophi85, to insert links to Carpenters Workshop Gallery wherever possible in order to promote that gallery. That is not a reason to delete this article as promotional. It's a third party that is promoting itself. The subject himself has no motive. Baas has received sufficient coverage in the press, including the New York Times. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/05/style/05iht-design6.3395890.html?mtrref=undefined&gwh=A697A66B7D307144C7B8F5977305A5B4&gwt=pay Slow down, please.

  • Delete - doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. The article is rife with the kind of puffery that usually means that there is no notability there. According to the Swedish WP article her claim to notability is a 16th position in a major music competition, and that doesn't make her notable at English WP. (That article is in pretty poor shape as well, with lots of unsourced fluff and no good sources, so no help there.)

Hi Bbarmadillo. I wanted to take some more time to look into BiteSquad and potentially also nominate for deletion. I did not find sufficient editorial coverage. Most of what I did find looks like PR/reproduction from press kits. I do miss proper, independent editorial. If you could share your findings that would be much appreciated. The refs I added the article establish existence, but not notability as they are definitely not independent and fall into the category of "routine company reporting". pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jake Brockman I didn't look deep into it. From what I remember, there was a Miami Herald article comparing various food-delivery services (editorial, not PR) and Las Vegas Sun coverage.

Thanks. I saw the Miami Herald article earlier on, but I'm not convinced it supports notability. This is just a service review of 7 different food delivery apps without an in-depth write up about the company. I'd see this falling into the "routine coverage" bucket. The Las Vegas Sun piece is a typical "tell us about your company"-thing where PR companies usually hold the pen.pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 07:54, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

One-term mayor of Chattanooga, Tenn. No inherent notability for mayors under NPOL and this one does not seem to meet the GNG either.

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this. I would caution that Kinsey's mayoral term took place from 1997 to 2001, which means a Google search would not be expected to turn up much (or any) coverage — to properly establish whether he passes WP:GNG or not, we would need to dig into archived sources, such as news retrieval databases or microfilms, and/or books. While it's true that there is no automatic notability for all mayors, Chattanooga most certainly is large enough that a properly sourced article about a mayor would be kept — and those sources don't have to extend outside his term, either, but merely have to address his mayoralty more substantively than just "he existed". But "he existed" is admittedly all that's actually present here, and improved sourcing needs to be shown to exist, not just presumed to probably exist, before "notability is determined by the existence of appropriate sources, not necessarily their presence in the existing article" (some editors' favourite choice of tactics to derail an AFD discussion) becomes a valid argument. So if somebody can find the sources to do better than this, then by all means go right ahead — but this isn't cutting it for making a mayor notable enough as things stand right now. Bearcat (talk) 17:53, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A valid point Bearcat. My BEFORE search included Google News, newspapers.com, Google Books, JSTOR, the website of the Chattanooga Times Free Press, and the special collections database of the University of Tennessee at Chatanooga. However, you are correct that there may be non-digitized paper archives somewhere that establish his notability and I agree that there should be no prejudice for recreation in the future.

  • Keep Mayor of a major metropolitan city with a population of greater than 100,000. Found one story in the Washington Post in 1999 and one in Bizjournal (showing nationalized attention to his role in his attempt to acquire the water utility), there are several mentions of his work as mayor in several books and chapters on public policy development in Chattanooga (found through Google Books) and multiple local articles mentioning his role as an influential developer since his term in office. The only thing I cannot find online appears to be contemporary campaign coverage in the local newspapers that provides more information about the subject's career. That said, what I was able to find was much more that "he existed" and every indication from the coverage I did find is indicative of broad, complete, contemporary coverage as one would to expect of a mayor of a large city. --Enos733 (talk) 05:50, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The mayor of Chattanooga is inherently notable, and Kinsey seems to still be active in high-level policymaking in Tennessee.Kiernanmc (talk) 06:23, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, WP:POLOUTCOMES says "municipal politicians are not inherently notable" and then says "each case is evaluated on its own individual merits" which usually means making an evidenced case for notability rather than just "because he is." Chattanooga is a small city and isn't even among the 100 largest in the U.S.. Chetsford (talk) 16:57, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No mayor of anywhere is ever "inherently" notable. Mayors, regardless of a city's size, are granted notability only if they're properly sourceable as the subject of significant press coverage that goes beyond just raw tables of election results. Certainly Chattanooga is large enough that this would be kept if it were properly sourced — but the size of the city never, ever exempts a mayor in and of itself from having to be sourced better than this is. And further, an AFD discussion does not represent a permanent ban on his ever being considered notable enough for an article — if this gets deleted, people can still try again in the future if they can find the necessary depth and quality of sources to substance and source him significantly better than this, but we can't keep an article that's this poorly sourced and this substanceless just because you think maybe it might be possible to improve it even though you can't be arsed to actually locate any better sources. Anybody could simply say that about anything, which would mean no article about anything was ever deletable for any reason — the key to making this article keepable is to put in the work needed to show that the required depth and quality of sourcing does exist, not just to speculate that maybe it just possibly might exist somewhere you're not willing to find.

  • Keep per coverage and consider possible merge to an article on the mayors of this city. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:53, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What evidence of enough coverage to make this keepable "per coverage" has been shown? The only sources present in the article that count as reliable source coverage are a 50-word blurb about him and a longer but still short blurb about something else which merely happens to namecheck Kinsey's existence. Every mayor of anywhere could always show that — to deem a mayor notable, we require much more substantive coverage about him, and much more of it, than that — we do not automatically keep every mayor of anywhere just because we can find one or two pieces of cursory verification that he existed. Bearcat (talk) 17:44, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I continue to think the coverage is much more substantial, as there is contemporary coverage in the Washington Post about a controversial issues the subject pushed as well as depth of coverage about his endeavors since his mayoral term (some of which I added into the article). Online sources do not appear to exist for the entirety of the subject's term, however, Chattanooga is a large city of regional prominence, where WP:POLOUTCOMES states the mayor "usually survives AFD." I continue to believe that there is broad contemporary coverage in the Chattanooga Times Free Press and the Chattanoogan. --Enos733 (talk) 04:59, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK, so you say it is notable, great, but you haven't proved it. You've only expressed an opinon. There are guidelines contained in WP:NCORP that tell you the criteria for establishing notability and you haven't once referenced this guideline (or any other) as a reason to keep. A closing admin will not pay any attention to "opinions" - there must be reasoning based on policy/guidelines. If you can produce two references that are intellectually independent, not based on press releases or other company announcements or interviews, that either discuss the company in depth (and not its "products" or "employees") or contains independent analysis or opinion on the company, then you will have made a strong case for inclusion. Without references of these sort, according to our policies the article must be deleted. HighKing++ 15:53, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - I'm a bit torn on this one, as Mr. Nowicki has more than 140 acting credits according to IMDB, but most are small parts or "guest appearances".

CommentI have issues with the idea that the number of roles should be important. I suggest it is the type or roles played and not the number. Jimmy Dean was a very small number of movies before died but he has had a tremendous impact to this day. And while I haven’t done my homework on this actor, my point is a universal one: if it turns out that, say, 100 of his roles are listed in the credits as Man in the green coat or Irritable dad at the Little League game, then sure he’s making a living but it doesn’t make him wiki worthy.MensanDeltiologist (talk) 03:28, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep has enough prominent roles amongst his 140 screen credits to pass criteria 1 of WP:NACTOR and also passes criteria 3 having made prolific contributions to his field of entertainment. There is some rs such as Orlando Sentinel and above but more would help. Atlantic306 (talk) 17:30, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation if somebody can do better than this. The mere having of roles is not an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts an actor from having to be properly referenced as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to support an article — the notability claim is not "has had roles", but "has received enough RS coverage to clear GNG for the having of roles". But if all we can actually find for reliable source coverage is one article in his local newspaper and one article in a local interest magazine in the same area, then that's simply not enough RS yet. GNG is not just "can show two local sources" — the list of people we would have to keep articles about if two local sources were all it took to clear GNG includes everybody who was ever fire or police chief or chair of the library board of anywhere, everybody who was ever mayor of anywhere, every non-winning candidate for any political office, every local radio DJ, unsigned bands who don't clear NMUSIC and haven't even recorded an album yet, high school athletes, aspiring local actors who haven't cleared NACTOR yet, aspiring local writers who haven't cleared AUTHOR yet, and my mother's neighbour who found a pig in her yard a few years ago. So even a simple GNG pass requires more than "two pieces of local coverage in the topic's own hometown local media exist", because lots of people of no wider encyclopedic interest could show enough local coverage to "clear" GNG if two pieces of hometown coverage were all it took.

We may want to look into sending them a certificate or something then. Wikipedia isn't really an outlet for giving deserving people/groups recognition. Chetsford (talk) 20:41, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia's inclusion criteria are not based on whether anybody thinks the topic "deserves recognition" or not (a thing which somebody could claim about absolutely anything or anyone that exists at all), but on whether the topic is the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear a notability standard. Specifically, a company has to clear WP:CORPDEPTH as the subject of substantial coverage in media that extends beyond the purely local — but the sources here are (1) its own website about itself, (2) a mere blurb about it in a radio industry trade magazine, and (3) the local newspaper's obituary of a former employee, which is about him rather than about the company. Which means the only source here that isn't a complete non-starter in terms of establishing this company's notability is #2 — but while it's a start, it's not substantive enough to be a finish all by itself.

  • Strong delete some county sherrifs are notable, such as Joe Arpio, and David Clarke (sheriff). They however do not show that even all holders of the office in their county are notable. Another example is Warren Evans, although he is probably more notable as Wayne County Executive. Fields however was sherrif of a county that at the time had under 100,000 people (it reached 82,000 in 1900, just after he apparently left office), and the one source is not enough to show that Fields is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:11, 4 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete.

The result was delete. Lots of evidence was supplied of the notability of teams playing in this league, along with a few pieces of evidence of notability of the United Premier Soccer League. But none of those pages was being discussed here. This discussion is about the 2018 UPSL season, and there was no sign of significant coverage in reliable sources of the 2018 UPSL season.
The "keep" !votes outnumbered the "delete" !votes by 7:2, but WP:NOTVOTE ... and in this case, the "delete" !voters offered a reason much better-founded in policy and evidence, viz. that WP:GNG is not satisfied wrt the 2018 UPSL season. Assertions by advocates of keep about the notability of teams are not relevant, per WP:NOTINHERITED. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:00, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

      • Obviously the coverage for the 2018 season is going to be a bit sparse at this point, given that the season hasn't started or even announced its schedule yet.

Bashum104 (talk) 23:04, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm able to find pages of sources for the teams in the league: [9], [10], [11] to just pile on. A league with local teams is going to have local coverage by local papers. WP:RS There is a lot of it. Trackinfo (talk) 01:43, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment that latter source from the Vox site is more what I'm talking about since it discusses the league (although not the entire league season). I really don't see how any of the other sources listed aren't violations of WP:ROUTINE, though. Jay eyem (talk) 04:04, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
violations of WP:ROUTINE? First of all, there is no such thing as a "violation," it is YOUR interpretation and categorization of the content in order to achieve the goal of eliminating this league. Local newspapers do what they do, cover the local sports teams. They talk about the upcoming season and what happened previously. If you want to say that is routine, then wipe out all the articles for the NFL and ever other sports league because all coverage is routine by that standard. Obviously a ridiculous overreaction. Trackinfo (talk) 17:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment you seriously think comparing a league like NFL to this is a fair comparison? NFL gets way beyond routine coverage, as do other leagues like the Premier League, the Bundesliga, Serie A, etc. So far it remains to be seen whether or not this league can do the same, because it hasn't been demonstrated so far. From WP:ROUTINE: Per Wikipedia policy, routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article. Can you explain to me which part of that I am reading wrong? Jay eyem (talk) 17:36, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you are reading wrong is the genericized "sports" within that sentence. You are taking too broad an interpretation. If you demote all sports coverage to routine, then you negate the sourcing to ALL of our sports articles. Routine would be a player's total accomplishments being limited to a single mention buried in the agate. That is a huge difference to a full news report that talks about the local team's entire (upcoming) season in a league, repeated in multiple newspapers for each team in that league. An accumulation of multiple sources that shows each team is notable, the league is notable and the season is notable. And that is what multiple editors are demonstrating with naming all these sources.Trackinfo (talk) 17:58, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No, I am not negating the sourcing on all other sports articles. Having JUST routine coverage is not sufficient and there needs to be more than an accumulation of sources demonstrating routine coverage for individual teams. There needs to be a more in-depth article from a reliable source about the season itself that goes beyond routine coverage. This has not yet been provided. And just because each team might be notable in its own right does NOT imply that their seasons are notable under WP:INHERIT. Jay eyem (talk) 20:26, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I asked about this upthread and now I'll ask again. Can you give an example from ANY sports league of a source you would feel would demonstrate the notability of a sports season? I really just do not understand what it is you are asking us to produce. Bashum104 (talk) 20:55, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete Too many references are self interested parties and do not meet the requirements of editorial oversite and control as discussed in WP:RS. Information can be summarized on main UPSL page until (and if) the league gets enough traction to justify separate articles for each season - the US soccer pages are littered with partially complete seasons for leagues that had big dreams but lived a short life and now need to be deleted summarized and cleaned up. Let's do this one right. Keep relevant info on main page and break that info out into a separate pages once the league demonstrates staying power and there will be more Wikipedia s to help do the work and keep the information up to date. Additionally, it appears to me that Too many of the edits on UPSL are by Wikipedians that seem to have either a financial or ownership interest in the league or one of its teams - creating additional neutrality problems that will be difficult for disinterested Wikipedians to monitor Trödel 15:23, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Spelling it out: The sources mentioned here as self-interested and unreliable include: Lincoln Journal Star, Burleson Star (a local newspaper in Burleson, Texas), WCAV, The Dallas Morning News, KVIA-TV, WDBJ and Nevada Appeal. Please explain the self interest and unreliable nature of local newspapers and TV stations. Trackinfo (talk) 18:29, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • I can’t speak for anyone else, but as the person who created the page and made the majority of the edits, I can assure you that I have no financial interest in the league or any of its teams whatsoever. Bashum104 (talk) 19:31, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And for clarity, I have no dog in this fight either. I only write about soccer when it associates to my main subject of track and field.

  • Comment While I would like to avoid bludgeoning the process, I feel like the recent arguments being made in favor of keep are not addressing the issue at hand. There needs to be significant, detailed, and beyond-routine coverage of this specific UPSL season that is in question from a reliable source. This has not yet been provided. Similar issues were raised during a recent AfD about a college soccer tournament, and although the analogy is not perfect, some of the arguments still apply. The result of that discussion was to redirect to a different page, in this case it could be to the United Premier Soccer League page itself. There is already a table for the champions of the league by season and the information for this season could easily be included there at the end of the season. Jay eyem (talk) 23:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • You keep requesting coverage that is "detailed and beyond routine." Much coverage has been provided that I feel meets that bar. However, you continually deny that this coverage meets your standards. Twice already in this thread I have asked you to provide example(s) of articles that would be beyond routine coverage for seasons of other notable sports league. You have ignored me both times. This example would be helpful because it would allow us to compare this coverage to the coverage the 2018 UPSL season is receiving. If you provided these examples, we would either 1) be able to find coverage of the UPSL season that meets your standards or 2) be able to determine that no such equivalent coverage of this season exists. Bashum104 (talk) 00:04, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment and I already directed you to WP:BURDEN. It's your responsibility to find these sources, not mine. Jay eyem (talk) 00:13, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry I think I misread your comment. The main issue with most of the sources is that they are just routine coverage announcing that a team will be participating in the following UPSL season. It doesn't indicate that the season itself may be notable. The team may be notable (most appear not to be), and the league may be notable, but that does not mean that the season is notable. You need an article that provides in-depth coverage of the season itself. I encourage you to read some of the comments on the AfD I referred to. I also encourage you to userfy the article should it become notable at some point in the future. Jay eyem (talk) 00:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are no examples in that debate of "non-routine" coverage for seasons of other leagues, which is what I've repeatedly asked you to provide. There is certainly more and better coverage of the 2018 UPSL season than there is of the 2017 America East Men's Soccer Tournament. Bashum104 (talk) 00:30, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ok well then I will re-redirect you to WP:BURDEN and remind you that it is your responsibility to provide these sources, not me. And note, the result in that AfD was a redirect i.e. the article was not kept. I also encourage you to read WP:BADGER. Jay eyem (talk) 00:52, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are the one claiming that every source produced here is inadequate. Yet you refuse to produce even a single example of a source that would be adequate? You've set a standard so high that it would be impossible to meet it. I'm not asking you to provide a source for THIS article. I'm asking you to provide a source for ANY article. Is the 2018 USL season notable? How about the 2018 NPSL season? Heck, is even the 2017-18 Premier League notable? Show me an article about one of these leagues that you feel demonstrates notability - that isn't, as you call it, "routine coverage." Show me an article that covers one of those leagues that goes above and beyond the sources we've given in covering this league. Bashum104 (talk) 01:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User:Muboshgu has proposed that this article subject may not meet the notability standard for biographies because virtually every reference to the subject mentions that he is the eldest son of Fidel Castro. I bring this here to test that proposition. If this article is kept, it will be because the subject has been determined to be notable, and the notability issue will be resolved in favor of removal of the tag. If, on the other hand, the article subject is not notable, then it will be deleted, and the tag will be moot. bd2412 T 03:03, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It is reliably reported that the article subject was the head of Cuba's doomed nuclear program for twelve years, and that he was later the government official designated to announce that the Cuban government supported the Russian annexation of Crimea. The subject's hobnobbing with Paris Hilton and Naomi Campbell at the outset of the reopening of relations between the Unites States and Cuba was also widely reported.

  • Keep His obituary has him as a state senator and we award "inherent notability" to state senators. Most votes talk of a copyright violation (smells like a copyvio) but have not shown what source material was copied. Both of his obituaries are in the public domain, he died in 1899. --RAN (talk) 02:38, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Given that the creator has been blocked from editing Wikipedia for being an incorrigibly persistent serial copyright violator (his list of copyright violations is sitting at over 700 and counting), the burden of evidence now falls the other way on his content. Yes, George clears WP:NPOL as a state senator, but that just means somebody will be allowed to recreate it from scratch — but given the creator's history, it's no longer "keep unless somebody can prove that this is a copyright violation" (which a Google check doesn't disprove, as it could also be copyvioed from a print-only source such as a book or a newspaper article). Rather, we now have to delete if somebody can't prove that this isn't another copyright violation, and then permit recreation if somebody else is willing to take it on.

Relisting comment: Some of the earlier pro- "Delete" comments seem to not have considered that the subject likely passes NPOL on the basis of being a state senator. This leaves open the question of whether or not to treat this as a presumptive copyright violation. I think further discussion is called for.

  • Comment- I not changing my vote, but do believe that he passes NPOL because of his position as state senator. Therefore, I still believe the article should be deleted as a likely copyvio as per Bearcat. However, if the article was recreated properly, I would endorse its existence.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:53, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment According to epistemology it is impossible to prove a negative, that it was copied from somewhere under copyright. The article closely copies his obituary, but that was published in 1899 and is in the public domain. --RAN (talk) 04:28, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, I have a feeling that the film itself doesn't exist, as IMDb seems to be the only place where the film is mentioned.

Advisorymandi is a one of a kind company in India. I think when Wikipedia alleges that some entity is not famous, they probably mean "not globally famous". But I hope they realize, that India is a highly populous country and one of the fasting growing economies in the world. It is entirely possible for an Indian company to have more users (all within India) than some "international" app or website. It s entirely possible for some Indian book or film to sell more copies/views than some book/film from France or Italy. Please note that all the references for this article are from very reputable sources - again sources that may not be well known in the outside world but which most likely have more viewership in India than The Guardian of the UK or La Figaro of France. Also being that India is one of the fastest growing economies, often "unknown" companies of India are actually poised to become some of the biggest in the world - for eg - each of the "low cost airlines" of India, though not well known to the outside world, are actually on their way to becoming among the biggest in the world, bigger than RyanAir even. Same with Advisoryandi - it does not have to be popular outside India. At the current rates of growth, being that it is the market leader in India, it is bound to become bigger than EToro soon.

Wikipedia has to realize that the bulk of their viewership now comes from emerging economies like India, rather than a UK or Australia - and the trend will keep growing for decades to come. You asked about my background - I am not affiliated with any of these entities. I have earned an MBA and am trying to get my own dot com startup going - and so I know a good and promising company when I see one. SO I post Wikipedia articles about them. User:Subho2017


omg - it was almost identical because the reasons hold just as well there as here - Mirraw IS one of the best eCommerce companies of India. It was not my intention to copy-paste anything!! AS for Advisorymandi - as you can see some of the biggest stock market analysis companies of India (eg - Motilal Oswal Group, SMC Global Securities, Religare and Angel Broking) have all participated in their championship and some of the biggest Finance/Business newspapers of India (eg - Economic Times, belongs to Times of India group, Business Standard belongs to Ananda Bazaar Patrika group) have featured stories about Advisorymandi and/or their competition. IF Advisorymandi was such an obscure, run of the mill company, do you think that would happen?User:Subho2017

Hello, this page is unnecessary, and should just be moved to the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise history. Several reasons for this include how this team was only around for three years, Kevin loves struggled in his role, the team was never recognized as a big three, the team was only able to secure one championship, Team achieve no great success, the team only primarily considered Irving and James as the superstars. Love, lost his superstar reputation in Cleveland. There’s no reason why this page should exist, can someone present arguments to keep it? Jamesjunky (talk) 21:49, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I don't know about this one; merging probably makes the most sense but I would like to see other opinions. Sure, there are sources calling them a "Big 3" [12][13][14] but "Big 3" seems to be thrown out for any three good players on a team. Look here, they even consider the team with Dwayne Wade as the "New Big 3" [15] so is it really a notable standalone subject or an overused title? Individual success, championships, and "star" status are irrelevant, but the nom isn't wrong for starting this discussion.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:12, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It gets tossed out a few times, but it hasn't gotten much traction because, as the nominator points out, there really aren't three. Also delete Big Three (Oklahoma City Thunder). Clarityfiend (talk) 22:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete (See below). This is a very well-sourced, informed article, and is tricky to opine on due to its overall fine quality. However, I elect to vote for delete for several reasons:
  1. As mentioned before, phrases such as "Big 3" or "Big Three" are significantly overused, and can apply to any three better-than-average players on a sports team.
  2. The article is meant to interpret recent Cavaliers franchise history in a way that unfairly bolsters these three men above the contributions of other team members, but fails to do so, because...
  3. the article's text, instead of detailing the three individually, or what the trio did together, proceeds to detail what the whole Cavaliers team did each season, especially when against the Warriors.
  4. If this article were to be kept, that could set a precedent for other pages to be created with the purpose of emblazoning three above-average players on the same "successful enough" team.
The Cavaliers team featuring these three men went to the NBA finals all three times, winning once. However, the three were only briefly together and were probably only referred to as the "Big Three" in passing. Therefore, I do not believe the issue is with notability, but with interpretation. The information in this article can be allocated to pre-existing pages. The bar, I believe, should be higher for NBA trios to have their own page (good example: Big Three (San Antonio Spurs), featuring Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker). While this Cavaliers trio had accomplishments, this page would be more relevant if the three stayed together for much longer and/or made possibly unparalleled NBA history with each other.
I also agree with Clarityfiend that the page for the Oklahoma City Thunder Big 3 should be tossed. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 00:37, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Question @Mungo Kitsch: What are you thoughts on what a good minimum bar would be? For example, would Big Three (Miami Heat) be OK becuase they won one extra championship (2) and played one more season together (4)? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 06:27, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's a very good question. In my opinion, the Miami Heat Big 3 page can be kept, because of their 4-of-4 finals appearances, and also because of the media attention surrounding them when LeBron joined the Heat. When LeBron re-joined the Cavaliers, that event had no equivalent to The Decision.
As for some minimum qualifications, I would propose that whatever trio in question be together over a long-term period, such as at least five or six years (with Heat exception, due to media attention and 100% Finals appearances; also, four seasons is a better sample size than three and has more long-term qualities). The trios should have >/=90% winning/playoff seasons, and frequent appearances in NBA finals or conference finals (let's say >/=66.7%).
While these minimum qualifications are by no means final, and can be brought to consensus if necessary, I think it's a start. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. Most relevant in rebuttal to the nomination, WP:N states that "notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity." This Cleveland grouping was covered extensively over a sustained period, even if Big Three is a cliché for star NBA trios or if there are better threesomes in league history. I'm not keen on the current format and content of the article, but that is WP:SURMOUNTABLE and independent of its notability.—Bagumba (talk) 15:49, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
By this trash logic we can apply that to OKC’s current team, the current Timberwolves team, and current the Celtics team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.2.178.120 (talk) 19:33, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but... I stand by my expressed concerns when I initially voted delete. However, after giving the article and the situation considerable thought, as well as factoring Bagumba's collection of sources affirming that Love, LeBron, and Irving are a "Big 3", I have changed my opinion on whether or not to keep the article. After all, the trio's 3-of-3 finals appearances are significant.
With that established, I propose, in order to further justify the existence of this article, that all three members of the trio have their own brief entries on the page, detailing info such as their stats and how they arrived onto the Cavaliers roster. This would be in a style similar to the equivalent San Antonio Spurs page (the page has three content concern tags at its head, dated from August 2016, but that's another ball of wax).
In conclusion, if and when future "Big 3" pages are made, they should be made with discretion and respect. I would suggest that such pages be made in retrospect once the trio(s) are disestablished, or when the trios are already well-accomplished after, say, 5+ seasons. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 03:36, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete* This page makes no sense. LeBron James carried the team to a finals with Kyrie Irvin in 2015, in 2016 Love was benched because of how badly he played, and in 2017 Love played well. This is a terrible overexaggeration. The 2013 Lakers were a Big Three as well who got massive media coverage. This is a dangerous precedent to set because the term Big 3 will lose it's value. The Spurs trio had over a decade of coverage and legacy while the 2012 Heat were marketed as a Big 3 to start with. What we have here is Irving, James, and a solid role player in Kevin Love. This does not deserve a Wikipedia page, it deserves to be in the Cav's franchise history. 35.1.103.105 (talk) 04:38, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST regarding the Lakers is not a reason to delete this. If a better name than "Big Three" materializes in the future, an WP:RM can be initiated. While you personally might not think much of Kevin Love, the fact is that he is a 5-time NBA All-Star, hardly the "role player" that you suggest.—Bagumba (talk) 13:42, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Note to closer While the previous IPs have been from the University of Michigan, this IP is from Ann Arbor, Michigan, when the school is based.

Curiously, another University of Michigan IP had tagged the article for AfD too). Finally, the AfD nominator is a new account whose first edit was to nominate this AfD.

  • Weak delete I think we need to look beyond the GNG for articles like this. There are many groupings of athletes that can be shown to have received coverage in the media, but that doesn't mean that all of those groups need their own Wikipedia pages. There's nothing in the current article that makes me understand why this particular Big Three is interesting or unique. The bulk of the article is generic game recaps that can be presented elsewhere. I could support an article on Miami's Big 3, given the hype and controversy surrounding their founding. I could support on article on Detroit's "Bad Boys", given that they had a distinctive style of play. But the Cleveland Big 3? How much more can you really say that you can't say somewhere else? I realize that none of this is grounded in specific guidelines or policies, but I really don't think we should be encouraging articles like this. I'm not crazy about the Spurs article, either. That one is little more than game recaps and selective use of statistics. Zagalejo^^^ 02:06, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - It feels like we need to come up with a standard for what constitutes a notable "big three" in basketball - it is a very common sportswriter device. I kind of agree with Zagalejo that even if mentioned in the press I have a question if it is actually notable in this case or if it was just a hype mechanism. Rikster2 (talk) 15:43, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • At a minimum at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Big Three (Oklahoma City Thunder), it was unanimous that Big Threes that haven't been together even a season should not generally have their own article. Additionally, I think if sources talk a lot about the three players as a group, and not just use the hype of using the name in passing, there is merit to it being considered notable.—Bagumba (talk) 20:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A couple, or even a lot, of references in the sports media don't make for notability and an independent article. There's so many of those threes, and before you know we'll have all of them, with not just teams in parentheses but also years. I was thinking Twin Towers (San Antonio Spurs) might be a better case, but that one also is already bad enough--half the article is a summary of the biographies of Duncan and Robinson, and the rest is a recap of the Spurs during their careers, as if it only takes the two of them. I have no doubt that articles can be written on sets of players in a team because of their interactions, tensions, successes--one thinks of Kobe and Shaq, and I am somewhat surprised that Stockton to Malone is a red link: those sets are verifiably notable, more notable than this one, which was only together for a few years anyway. Drmies (talk) 01:20, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Drmies: Do you mean to argue here that WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST so this should be deleted too, or that it is WP:UGLY and should not be left to improve? Or that it meets GNG but WP:IAR because this isn't encyclopedic? Do you think groups of players can be Wikipedia-notable even if they are not all Hall of Famers like Stockton–Malone or Shaq–Kobe? Thanks.—Bagumba (talk) 03:12, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Bagumba, I am giving arguments for why I think this is not notable. You can throw a bunch of acronyms at the wall like spaghetti to see what sticks, but that does not matter much to me. I am saying "delete because these run of the mill mentions don't establish notability". Except that I am trying to do it in more words, as a service to the reader. I didn't use "Hall of Fame" as an argument, but thank you for putting words in my mouth. But OK, if you want to know why the Stockton-Malone connection is Wikipedia-worthy, in my opinion: [19], [20], [21], and this. You can't do that for this set of players.

  • Keep He meet's criteria 8 of WP:MUSICBIO which is being nominated for a major music award, being "major" is being credible and this award's are City People Entertainment Awards & Soundcity MVP Awards Festival. He meet's criteria 12 of WP:MUSICBIO which is being a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network, he was featured on Channels TV [22].. In addition to the word "major", it wasn't defined to be only awards such as the Grammy but awards that are notable enough to have a stand alone article and since City People Entertainment Awards & Soundcity MVP Awards Festival has one it's notable to criteria 8 of WP:MUSICBIO. He does not meet wiki guidelines as a singer but he passes as a producer, let take a movie for an instant. Being a director of a movie that had 2 major awards winning films, whether or not he passes WP:GNG, he is notable enough because he met WP:FILMS. Let now look at it in the same point of view as a music producer, he produced a song titled Rihanna (Orezi song) that had 2 major awards The Headies & Channel O Music Video Awards that show's his notable enough even if he fail's WP:GNG. Like it is stated on WP:MUSICBIO may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria and he met two, as side that he was part of a Sony release project in 2016 "Son of Mercy - EP" by Davido which got nominated for Nigeria Entertainment Awards 2017 for Best Album of the Year. Also he met WP:ANYBIO, with all this i don't see him as a case of WP:TOOSOON. It is also stated in WP:MUSICBIO that NOT all notable articles must meet WP:GNG and I agree that it does not meet WP:GNG but it meets WP:MUSICBIO, WP:MUSICBIO never stated criteria 1 which is WP:GNG as a most meet. City People Entertainment Awards and Soundcity MVP African Producer Of The Year nomination is NOT a small feat at all which ended up a controversy between Kiddominant & Soundcity MVP after he loss the award to Young John. Also note, "Like Dat" by Davido, "Fall" by Davido, "The Money" by Davido, "Mama" by Mayorkun, "Che Che" by Mayorkun, "Marry" by DJ Neptune, "Double Your Hustle" by Orezi & " Rihanna" by Orezi were major hits all over Nigeria in terms of airplay and awards won/nom. He also passes WP:ENTERTAINER he met all criteria, has had a significant roles in television shows, stage performances with "Mayorkun" at the "Mayor Of Lagos Concert" held in December, 2017 alogside Davido being the hyper man on stage [23], also has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following him on his verified page on Instagram with over 63 thousand followers and has also made unique contributions to the entertainment field with the sound he fuses together which was also discussed on The Hundreds magazine on an interview he had in 2016 [24].

  • Keep Even though this company is a publically quoted company and has been established for quite some time, none of the references above or within the article meets the criteria for establishing notabilty. Articles that are extensively based on quotations and interviews with company personnel or other "connected" people are considered PRIMARY sources and therefore fail to establish notability and may also fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. If the reference is based on quotations and interviews but *also* contains substantial intellectually independent opinion/analysis, then the reference probably meets the criteria for establishing notability. Unfortunately, I don't believe that any of the references provided manages to meet the criteria. But ... WP:LISTED specifically states Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. To that end, this reference lists a number of analyst firms and banks that cover this company and states that "Several other analysts have also recently issued report on NGVC". This reference also provides a list of analyst opinions. Since I am not a customer of any of the brokerage arms of these banks or a customer of any of the analyst firms, I cannot attest that the analyst reports actually exist ... but I think it is reasonable to assume that they do.

Procedural nomination on behalf of an IP editor. Their reasons are:

WP:V: No sources whatsoever, borders on OR and even if it isn't, the article's primary subject being Indian political parties would require it cites its sources since WP:NOTBLUE would apply, if such knowledge is obvious to readers in India (and then, WP:PARIS could also be valid). Also, I don't know if I'm abusing the criteria, but this falls remarkably short of WP:DIRECTORY. No context, no additional information about linked articles.

Doesn't meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Alerting creator of this version, WP:Spa Mike13589. Did redirect to the election, which was reverted. Boleyn (talk) 11:40, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Boelyn has made an subjective claim that suggests this notably historic figure does not meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG standards. Since these guidelines are arbitrary, I suggest performing a brief search through news articles to discover how prolific this person of note is. There are countless articles citing him and his work in reference to their impact on local elections in his state. In addition to his run for office, he has been a noteworthy activist in state politics, with publications going as far as describing him as "synonymous" with the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign - a non-profit that has informed and been cited by several national newspapers covering Wisconsin politics. In addition to this, in addition to his run for office and in addition to his newsworthy book, he has also founded another state political watchdog group called Blue Jean Nation, which has also been featured by prominent news organizations.[1]. I have been trying to learn more about this figure since he began running for office, but without a Wikipedia page, I've been forced to look through countless articles to learn more. I consider a Wikipedia page to be fully justified, if not overdue at this point, especially since omitting him may affect the state election. Thank you for your full consideration on this subject. Mike13589 20:42, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to the WP:NPOL guidelines, they cite reference 8, which states: "A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists," qualifies as a politician of note. I believe that the several news feature articles and political articles that have been cited may count toward this criterium. Please review. Mike13589 21:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the WP:GNG claim: "If a topic has received (a)significant coverage in (b)reliable sources that are (c)independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." (a) Significant coverage: This person of note has been featured in several interviews, has been cited as a source of information and is generally considered a large political actor in the state. (b) Reliable sources: all of the cited sources are taken from established news organizations, including the associated press, the NY Times and Politifact - with the exception of a quote taken from and attributed to the mission statement of the organization directed by this person of note. (c) Independent of the subject: As mentioned, all sources are taken from reliable and independent news organizations with the exception of said quote. I understand that there is a possibility that this topical person of note may not be published despite the presumed suitability demonstrated, but I do not understand how this article is in violation of WP:GNG. Please elaborate. Mike13589 21:13, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable, somewhat amateurishly-produced relatively new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.". Article dePRODded by article creator who on the talk page and in edit summaries claims that this meet NJournals#2 by adding a few citations to some articles published in this journal. However, articles from notable journals will be cited at a minimum hundreds of times, so the handful of citations shown by GScholar does not even come close to meeting NJournals#2. Clearly does not meet NJournals (let alone GNG), hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 22:42, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – here is a selection of citations demonstrating that it fulfills C2 of WP:NJournals. User:Randykitty's assertion that an item needs to be cited "at a minimum hundreds of times" in order to be notable appears to be a statement of opinion, as there is no such requirement expressed within WP:NJournals itself. Here is a selection of instances where J Energy Chall Mech has been cited in well-established sources (list is non-exhaustive):
I can't argue with the fact that this journal is relatively new, but I would argue that it is notable in part precisely because, despite having only published 13 issues in 4 volumes thus far, it has already been cited numerous times in such major publications.--Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 19:53, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this article about one year's ceremony, but without any prejudice at all against someone making a new article about the awards as a whole, per Colapeninsula. They're clearly well-attended and they've accrued attention over time. Billboard has called them "the industry bible for footwear" (as List of awards and nominations received by Rihanna § Footwear News Achievement Awards notes). (Surprising that "A BEFORE fails to find any other acknowledgment of the awards") But, there's little to say about any one year so the better structure is one article about the lot.

  • Userfy Let anyone interested fix the article in draftspace. It's not ready for article space although there is some coverage of the company and its products. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Userfy - At present, the article is a poorly written promotional brochure with no independent references to support notability. However, other comments above indicate sources are available.--Rpclod (talk) 15:05, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- I don't think that usefying a poorly written promotional brochure with no independent references is a good idea. If the company is notable (of which I'm not convinced) then a non-COI editor would eventually create it -- in a neutral fashion and with proper references. There's no hurry to get to such a state, however. Userfying spam is not what AfD is for. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:41, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why can't we decided whether it's notable in this discussion? Once that is determined, the article can either be improved or deleted. I see no purpose in either userfying it, or deleting and recreating it. If we don't determine notability now, then that's a big disincentive for a non-COI editor to recreate it, since it might subsequently be renominated and deleted. --Pontificalibus 12:44, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I consider this subject to be non-notable, hence my !vote above. I was making a point how little if makes sense to userfy the current content, i.e.: none at all. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:43, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of the references provide any in-depth information on the company itself. Notability is not inherited. If the company was notable, it should be possible to find references that meet the criteria for estalishing notabiltiy and none have been produced to date.

  • Actually it meets the requirements of both WP:V and WP:NGEO, it just takes some effort and knowledge to find the information. In the book "Genealogies, Tribes & Customs of Hy-Fiachrach: Commonly Called O'Dowda's Country, By John O'Donovan" on page 2, the place is mentioned. Also on page 4, there is about 4 paragraphs of information which says the name is "still well known", which seems to agree with whats stated in the article. link to book (link to book may not work, in which case try Google books). However, it also clearly says the name is anglicised as Killovyeragh, so the title here is incorrect. The policy simply says that all populated places and official designations are notable, even if they no longer exists, this seems quite clear to me, as this was an officially designated subdivision of Ireland, it is notable despite having been abolished since. Regards. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC)WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]
Here is another copy at archive.org referencing Killovyeragh that you might use for a citation and with no references or citations to support the article it is less likely to be kept. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 19:25, 19 January 2018 (UTC) [reply]
I added that as a citation, also I found the ordnance survey letters clearly used by the original author and added those those as a citation also. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 09:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]

  • Comment - subject is clearly notable in a BEFORE. The Persian article seems adequately sourced. And in English - the number and diversity of book hits in English seems to indicate importance.

  • Comment I'm inclined to agree that there is something here to work with: Iran Almanac and Book of Facts, Volume 8 (1969) ("Iran is surprisingly rich in the field of archaeology. A modest effort was made in the early years or the 19th Century to preserve some of them. The first on record is by Haj Mohammad Hossein Khan Sadre-Esfahani who undertook such repairs in Isfahan at his own expense during the reign of Fath Ali Shah.")
