The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. The headcount is exactly split between keep and not keep (merge, redirect, delete). The basic issue, in terms of policy, is whether the subject is notable independently of his organization. Contributors address the relevant sources in greatly varying level of detail, but all that becomes clear after reading (or, in some cases, admittedly glancing over) the walls of text below is that there is no agreement on how independent / in-depth / relevant the sources at issue are, and that such disagreement is not amenable to a resolution by fiat because it's a matter of editorial judgment. Both in terms of numbers and of strength of argument, therefore, we have no consensus about what to do here, and as a result the article is kept by default. A merger discussion can still be had on the talk page. Sandstein 21:19, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I rarely vote "keep" at BLP AfD's, but, while I agree that this is a shitty article in need of clean up, Neuer does seem to pass WP:GNG. He's been published in multiple notable media. Joefromrandb (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral (changed from "keep"). Upon a more-thorough examination of the sources, I'm no longer fully convinced of his notability. Joefromrandb (talk) 01:41, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meet WP:GNG For example [1] [2] also meets WP:AUTHOR as widely quoted in WP:RS--Shrike (talk) 09:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. He is covered as a subject here - [3] [4] [5] - as well as being very widely covered for his duties at UN Watch.Icewhiz (talk) 09:25, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the its original target article. Come on guys, be objective (like Joefromrandb) please. You cannot pass those interviews and the subject's own material off as passing GNG; we all know those are primary sources. And whoever wrote this article may have mislead you: hardly any of the sources in the article actually describe the subject! The UN Watch is notable but notability is not inherited hence a redirect is the only reasonable solution when we evaluate this puff piece objectively.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 10:19, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Seems a bit too obvious and clear to even explain the reasoning. Per users Shrike and Icewhiz, who provided useful addtional links that should be integrated into the article. Shalom11111 (talk) 10:51, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I encourage editors to read WP:NOPAGE and consider whether Neuer is ever in the news without being cited as the embodiment of UN Watch. Is it his opinion that is widely published, or are policy briefs from UN Watch being widely republished? — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 12:01, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: Before I begin I will state that this article should be scrutinized in depth. As it stands consensus is leaning towards keep. I might not have even looked at it but for the changed !vote expressing notability doubts, on an article with 38 references, and considering the nominators comments. Otr500 (talk) 14:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, this is a puff piece (note the paragraph I just removed...typical of such articles), and the cited sources all cite him as the boss of the organization he runs, which was the reason for the redirect in the first place. In that respect he is like the non-notable member of a notable band, where we also redirect to the band. Delete, or maybe merge some of the material if that isn't already in the (also puffy) UN Watch article. Drmies (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have already run into refbombing issues. Most of the time references concern content, but WP:OVERCITE can be an issue of masking. Otr500 (talk) 16:53, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The second reference establishes through reliable sourcing the subject is the Executive Director of UN Watch. Since that has not been contested there only needs to be one or two if relevant but references 3 through 6 (4 of them) appear agenda based and certainly appear as weasel references. Otr500 (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or at most Redirect to UN Watch. Notability isn't inherited, so being executive director of a notable organisation doesn't automatically make one notable enough for a stand-alone article, only notable enough for a redirect to the organisation. If even that... - Tom | Thomas.W talk 17:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I find it important to note that since the article has been updated with additional links and information and now meets all WP:BLP criteria, the argument that "he's only the executive director of this org" may be less relevant than before. Shalom11111 (talk) 07:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to UN Watch. The first 20 media sources I found mentioning Neuer do so in the context of UN Watch. Binksternet (talk) 18:17, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact he has a highly prominent role in UN Watch does not preclude notability as a person. The top-20 media hits of just about any long-time leader of an organization (or company, country, etc.) would typically be to the person in the context of the organization. The question should be whether he is also covered as a person (which he is), and whether there is additional coverage (not actually necessary, but in this case - there is).Icewhiz (talk) 19:41, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • But his notability as a person is wholly tied to his leadership of UN Watch. Per WP:NOPAGE, we should discuss Neuer's work at the UN Watch page, to make that article more complete. Binksternet (talk) 16:56, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here's a brief timeline of Neuer's career:
  • Grew up in Montreal
  • Bachelor of Arts degree from Concordia University in 1993[6]
  • Masters degree from Hebrew University of Jerusalem (no date)
  • Fellow at Shalem Center think tank (no dates)
  • Clerk at the Israel Supreme Court (no dates)
  • Passed the New York Bar as Hillel Calman Neuer in 2001[7]
  • Associate attorney at Paul, Weiss in New York, including team work on the 1997–2001 Raytheon/Hughes case, and team work on the PG&E bankruptcy case which ended in 2004[8]
  • Replaced Andrew Srulevitch as Executive Director of UN Watch ca. 2004
  • None of the career prior to 2004 gives Neuer any notability with relation to Wikipedia:Notability (people). The only career element that puts him in the media is being the executive director of UN Watch. It's not like UN Watch hired an already-famous lawyer to be their executive director. Binksternet (talk) 23:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Well sourced article on widely published and widely cited human rights advocate who champions controversial causes. Note that Users Shrike and Icewhiz link to a long interview with Neuer in the Canadian Jewish News, Hillel Neuer: Jewish eyes on the United Nations, and to a profile in the Jerusalem Post A Zionist at the United Nations.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There appears to be enough WP:RS sourced in the article as mentioned above to fulfill WP:GNG. - GalatzTalk 19:40, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep he is notable, is in the news, and passes muster. He speaks and gives testimony and this should have been a snow keep from the start. I echo Icewhiz as well. Sir Joseph (talk) 19:47, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to UN Watch. We dont need an article on each and every selfpromoter out there. Huldra (talk) 20:04, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I fail to see how "selfpromoter" applies to Neuer, a man whose work is widely discussed by others. For example, Chapter 3 of Land of Blue Helmets: The United Nations and the Arab World, By Karim Makdisi, Vijay Prashad (University of Califonria Press, 2016), is by Richard Falk. Starting on p. 79, Falk details what he describes as Neuer's ongoing efforts to discredit Falk by documenting Falk's activities, documentation that Falk disparages, but, nevertheless, Falk credits Neuer's documentation of Falk's writing by Neuer with resulting in condemnations of Falk by Ban Ki-Moon, Susan Rice, Samantha Power. This backhanded homage to Neuer as a notable player at the U.N. from Falk, a vocal opponent of the Jewish State, is just one example of the WP:INDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV of Neuer's work in scholarly books and articles.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:44, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect.Try rewriting that garbled piece (' Falk credits Neuer's documentation of Falk's writing by Neuer') piece of nonsensical misreportage. Illustrating 'widely discussed' by citing a passing comment by Richard Falk, (someone who, unlike Hillel, is profoundly committed to human rights, as opposed to 'Jewish' rights only) dismissing his absurd monomaniacal brashness can, only in the most peculiar type of reading, be construed as 'crediting' Neuer in a kind of 'backhand homage' and proving in-depth scholarly coverage of Neuer's work. If you think a universally known Ban Ki-Moon is a Dutchman (Van Ki-Moon) perhaps you are googling too quickly to understand these topics. Nearly everything I google on Neuer and Falk, to take one topic, turns out to be a meme cycle going back to UN Watch's self-promotional garbage.Nishidani (talk) 15:34, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for showing your bias Neuer does indeed give a lot of time to Israel, but that is because the UNHRC does. I did not know there is a large population of Jews in the Congo. Maybe you are just too focused on Israel to see where else the UN Watch, and Neuer, criticize the UNHRC. Regardless, it is quite clear that Neuer himself is notable. Sir Joseph (talk) 15:40, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your selective use of 'bias' reminds me of what David McLellan said of 'ideology'. Users of both words tend to think it refers to what people other than themselves display. As to Neuer's passionate concerns for human rights in the Congo, the details of that story were anticipated a century and a half ago by Charles Dickens in Bleak House. His marvelous caricature, Mrs Jellyby, is passionately devoted to human rights in the Congo, much to the negligence and detriment of her household and the children in its backyard. The whole logic of inanity in these things is summed up best by a simile.If a mafia thug goes public, joining a general chorus of outraged complaints that some chap in the city is given to punching up his neighbours, that fellow would be entitled to come back screaming 'hypocrisy'. A neutral observer would say that both are pseudo-moralists, since they decry behavior they themselves engage in, and do so only to take the heat out of criticism of their own continued and committed contempt for an ethical life.Nishidani (talk) 16:39, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OMG can you go anywhere, Sir Joseph, without throwing in "bias" as if it is magic pixie dust? At any rate that dust seems to have clouded your vision: you are actually supporting the argument that the subject's notability is intertwined with that of his organization, and thus I take your comment as support for a redirect. Drmies (talk) 16:59, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"someone who, unlike Hillel, is profoundly committed to human rights, as opposed to 'Jewish' rights only)" is a biased statement. That you can't see it as such is not surprising. It is disgusting on Nishidani's part to claim that the Neuer is only concerned with Jewish people. Just today UN Watch released a critique of Iran's representative. And no, just because Neuer is executive director of UN Watch, doesn't mean that is his only notability. And you speak of clouded vision, when it's clear that Nishidani's vision is so clouded that he will take any opportunity to put in an anti-Israel comment and pontificate given the opportunity to do so. Again, when someone defends Falk and says Neuer is not committed to human rights, that is bias, and that has no place here. Sir Joseph (talk) 17:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Give me one, just one, example of UN Watch and, specifically, Hillel Neuer speaking directly of their concerns for the systematic injustices meted out to Palestinians over 50 years of military occupation, and I might believe you. For it is commonplace for the very men who execute these policies, on retirement, like Ami Ayalon, Carmi Gillon and Yuval Diskin to come out publicly(also here) and state that the disastrous effect of this dehumanization is a threat to Israel's democracy. If the Shin Bet, Israel's intelligence service, admits Palestinian human rights are systematically abused, and praised soldiers who blow the whistle, Neuer, who kept nagging at Richard Falk for saying precisely this, which is obvious, if he is, as claimed, a 'human' rights activist, should have an equally strong record of speaking up along similar lines rather than branding decent men who happen to be Jewish 'anti-Semites'. I can find none. All I can find is that the external enemies of Israel are targeted for their human rights abuses. To note this is not 'bias'. My comments are not 'anti-Israel', any more than marching in anti-war protests during the Vietnam war, as millions of Americans did, is proof I was 'anti-American. Nishidani (talk) 18:27, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Indeed, and typical of Nishidani. Reading his comment one would assume that it's only Neuer calling out Falk. One just has to do a quick google search to see all the other government and UN officials calling out Falk and his antisemitism. Indeed, someone who posts antisemitic cartoons is not a "decent" person. The UN chief himself, rejected a Falk authored report. Let's not forget Falk is a "former" UN official specifically for his antisemitism and antitruth statements. That a person can say the US government and not Al-Qaida was behind 9/11, or that the Boston bombing was justified doesn't make a person "decent." I guess in your world, as long as you criticize Israel or the Jews, then you are decent, regardless of how evil you are with everything else.

  • Galatz is Neuer a terrorist? I don't think you should be commenting on my editing habits if you have no idea what I voluntarily prohibited myself from. "Voluntarily" being a key word.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 20:06, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You, SJ, realize of course that in writing here:

Let's not forget Falk is a "former" UN official specifically for his antisemitism and antitruth statements. . . .I guess in your world, as long as you criticize Israel or the Jews, then you are decent, regardless of how evil you are with everything else.

That you have violated WP:BLP by asserting that he is (a) anti-Semitic (b) a deliberate liar and that (c) you have made a surmise about my personal beliefs ( WP:NPA) in adding that (a) I criticize Jews (b) think anyone critical of either Israel or Jews is ipso facto decent and (c) such people are 'evil'. That's not a bad effort for an editor frequently complaining about me for some putative 'incivility' that is deleterious to wikipedia. I note that your list of smears against Falk is copied straight from Un Watch's smear-sheet, with nary an effort to check the truth of that crap. Editors are supposed to ensure that, whatever their personal beliefs, articles are to be composed 'neutrally' and not serve as excuses for lobbying for more exposure to the meme cycle of self-referential clichés which, as in this article, are out there as part of the campaign for a politics of national self-justification. It looks like the boots are on the ground in lockstep to have this trivia accepted, whatever the quality of the arguments, so further comments would be foruming pointlessly.Nishidani (talk) 20:14, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'll take the Secretary General of the United Nations at his word over CounterPunch. It is quite clear that certain subjects should not be discussed with you as you apparently are unable to dialogue with people without resorting to your usual. I also have no BLP violation, I said he was fired due to his antisemitism and antitruth statements and that is 100% correct and RS. The UN and HRW fired Falk for antisemtic and antitruth statements, about Jews, the US, 9/11 and the Boston Bombing. Don't feel that you have to get the last word in, I have no interest in debating with you. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:19, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I said he was fired due to his antisemitism and antitruth statements and that is 100% correct and RS. The UN and HRW fired Falk for antisemtic and antitruth statements, about Jews, the US, 9/11 and the Boston Bombing.

If you cannot be patient enough to reach beyond youtube and examine each of those furphies, you shouldn't be editing here. None of that is true, and you cannot document that Falk was fired for anti-Semitism and antitruth statements by both the UN and Human Rights Watch. The story of his exiting Human Right Watch is elaborately explained by Phyllis Bennis in her essay. 'Human Rights Watch: Time to stand with human rights defenders,' Al Jazeera 9 January 2013, which notes that HRW, when asked by 40 Human Rights groups throughout the world to apologize for insulting Falk, admitted that Neuer's UN Watch statement, which caused Ban Ki-Moon and Rice's furore was full of 'inaccuracies and falsehoods'. The UN never fired Falk. He left when his 6 year term expired. It coincided with the appointment of his wife Hilal Elver's UN appointment as special rapporteur on the right to food, which meant Neuer went for the jugular and tried to get at the retired (and unpaid) Falk by attacking his wife's job at the UN as 'nepotism'. Not a word of the history of UN Watch's smear campaigns or its reputation for gross distortions and inaccuracies in 'reporting' on critics of Israeli policies regarding Palestinians is registered on Neuer or Un Watch's page. It's all boosterism, and I suspect, has an odour of self-promotion. So, you are wrong, you smeared a living person by gullibly repeating demonstrable falsehoods, of which the most egregious is that UN Watch distortion of his remarks re blowback concerning the Boston Marathon attack.Nishidani (talk) 21:07, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, you haven't done the minimal amount of work to read all relevant sources on this smear campaign, but cite paywall protected sources that just state the smear, and not, as several articles do (2 cited above) check the details in contrary sources that argue Neuer and his group fabricated the smears. Neuer did not cite 'racist, hate-filled, antisemitis statement Falk actually made'. A strong case can be made from sources that his UN Watch doctored the evidence, (according to Human Rights Watch's own statements and according to a serious scholar, Phyllis Bennis, partisan yes, but held to higher standards of accuracy that any of the rubbish cited here), in order to make it look as though Falk was engaged in making a 'racist, hate-filled, antisemitis statement.' Both you and SJ have, by taking Neuer and UN Watch's trash at face value, arguably discredited your reliability as editors obliged to write to WP:NPOV standards, and you both are repeating WP:BLP remarks about Falk, which should, at this point, be reported. Even a beginner here is supposed to grasp the elementary rule that what a source reports about a person is not 'the truth' but a POV regarding that person, nothing more. To take a partisan smear as the truth is to attack, on these talk pages, a living person. Nishidani (talk) 21:35, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Neuer v. Falk stuff doesn't make Neuer any more notable apart from his role as leader of UN Watch. Neuer and UN Watch are parallel stories and should be merged. Binksternet (talk) 21:42, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
summary of wall of text: It would seem Neuer also has grounds to notabiliy via Falk and alleged antisemitism. Conversely we should redirect Falk to United Nations special rapporteur and likewise redirect all bios whose primary notability arises from an organization or position.Icewhiz (talk) 21:43, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to UN Watch, for lack of independent, reliable sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. A plausible search term, but not independently notable of the org. I’m only seeing mentions Neuer in the context of his activities for the group, as in “Hillel Neuer of UN Watch said…” “…commented…” “…wrote…” etc. The fact that he criticises a notable person does not help his own notability; not every critic of a notable figure is notable himself/herself, since notability is not inherited. In any case, the criticism from Neuer in his capacity as UNW executive. The scope and influence of the NGO in question is not such that we would presume notability for its director. Everything worth saying about Neuer can be said in the target article. Sources presented above, such as interviews – even if extensive, – are WP:SPIP and do not count towards notability.
Re: Users Shrike and Icewhiz link to a long interview with Neuer in the Canadian Jewish News, Hillel Neuer: Jewish eyes on the United Nations, and to a profile in the Jerusalem Post A Zionist at the United Nations – I reviewed these, and they are both interviews and not suitable for establishing notability. The other links offered by Icewhiz are passing mentions. “Being in the news” is not the same as “encyclopedically notable”; Neuer is not a celebrity. Even if he were, we’d need something else besides being a director at an NGO. On the balance of things, “Redirect” seems to be the best option here. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to UN Watch: Not independently notable outside of his capacity as the UN Watch leader. There are primary, mainly UN Watch related sources, that gives the appearance of being "well sourced" or "enough WP:RS sourced in the article". That may be true ---BUT--- when the great majority are related to a single event, other than the subject but attributed to him or her, we end up masking that there is no independent notability which is not inherited. Otr500 (talk) 02:24, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Another source that asserts notability [13] --Shrike (talk) 06:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great, another interview (primary source) that doesn't assert notability despite multiple attempts to change policy for this particular subject to say it does.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 06:40, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In all those interviews background is given.Such background is more then enough to satisfy WP:GNG.Also cite policy according to which interview is a primary source.The interview is leaded by the questions its not autobiography.--Shrike (talk) 07:20, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly, though I doubt directly citing the policies will change your POV. WP:PRIMARY states: "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them"; WP:Interviews also writes: "There we have a specific definition requiring that others not connected with the subject take note and that they do so by offering their own secondary thoughts in reliable sources. Under this definition, anything the interviewee says about himself or herself or their own work is primary. If it's primary, our guidelines make clear that it does not contribute to notability". A few introductory sentences prior to the interview doesn't magically overrule our policies. And you do realize most, if not all, interviews are leaded by questions, correct?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 08:21, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:INTERVIEW is an essay and not policy.Again on what policy you base that interviews are primary source?Moreover in my opinion the introduction in long enough and give WP:DEPTH hence satisfy WP:GNG.Also please stop commenting about my POV as everyone have its own you including--Shrike (talk) 09:13, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lead sentence of WP:Interview:"This is an explanatory supplement to the Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research policies". According to WP:SUPPLEMENTAL, "Where essay pages offer advice or opinions through viewpoints, information pages should supplement or clarify technical or factual information about Wikipedia in an impartial way". Seriously, Shrike either you didn't read the opening statement of the page or you are falsely calling it an essay to gain leverage for your losing argument. I'm not going to continue this discussion with you if honesty continues to be an issue.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 09:31, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fine, then from your link "An independent interviewer represents the "world at large" giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability. The material provided to the interview by the interviewer and the publication is secondary" I consider number of interviews and background given in each one sufficient to establish notability per our policy.--Shrike (talk) 10:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
TheGracefulSlick, I provided below more than an interview or primary sources. Please take a look and judge for youself. Shalom11111 (talk) 09:41, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Google can be helpful sometimes. Hereby, provided are even more secondary, notable and reliable sources, in addition to dozens mentioned before here and in the article. They cover Mr. Neuer, not just mention him, and refute the above arguments of 'K.e.coffman, TheGracefulSlick and others regarding lack of independent, secondary sources that don't just mention his as the head of the UN Watch. These include law university publications, news organizations and magazines, some are interviews and in others he is main subject.

We happen to have a source which explicitly affirms that UN Watch itself, and implicitly Neuer as its vociferous director, is not notable.

Most of the attacks are the result of pressure campaigns launched by a small Geneva-based right-wing organisation called UN Watch. While hardly known outside of UN headquarters in Geneva, UN Watch has tried to make a name for itself among those bigger players also committed to undermining the United Nations and to uncritically defending every Israeli violation of human rights and international law. Undermining and delegitimising Richard Falk has been an obsession of UN Watch since he became Special RapporteurPhyllis Bennis, 'Human Rights Watch: Time to stand with human rights defenders,' Al Jazeera 9 January 2013,

Nishidani's POV-citation is irrelevant; that article is from over 5 years ago and so much has happened since, and his argument itself is simply invalid in its nature: It is clear it ignores Neuer's article and the additional information/links I provided above (which neither he nor TheGracefulSlick responded to) showing Neuer's notability goes way beyond being the executive director of said organization.

The article today and the enormous amount of BLP material that has been brought up here on Hillel Neuer is different than what we had in the past (a year ago, the article was in a bad shape, I agree). It's okay to change one's mind, like Joefromrandb chose to do in the very beginning, and consider the all the new evidence and look at the article again. His writings, publications and coverage in the field of law and human rights would themselves justify his article as a notable author. Shalom11111 (talk) 12:46, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I mean Shalom11111 I could respond to those links but it is just more of the same; heck you are even trying to pass off one of Neuer's own articles as a secondary source. At this point, I have to assume all the ignorance displayed toward our guidelines for notability and sourcing is intentional -- a bi-product of the subject and the POV that unfortunately cannot be shaken by the same usual editors.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
One of the article was written by Neuer, indeed, not intentional, but why not talk about the other five? I totally agree with your second sentence though. Maybe, for some users, Wikipedia guidelines simply don't matter nor does it matter how many media sources, from the left and right, from local to international, cite Hillel Neuer, interview him, write about him as the main subject; nor do dozens of books that quote him and talk about his activity, or the hundreds or publications he has written - as long as he hold a position in an organization that (among other things) fights bias at the UN for singling out and passing resolutions against Israel more than any other and in some cases all other countries of the world combined. It matters not that there are lists ranking him among the most influential individuals in law and or Jews globally, or that he is praised and even gets "Hillel Neuer Day" in his honor in a major American city - it will not change some minds. Sad but not surprising. Shalom11111 (talk) 13:59, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We might put more effort into reading articles broadly around the issue. this is the second time you cite a source without a link, so we are supposed to take your word for it when there is no evidence you have read the source itself (The first case was 'Starting on p. 79, Falk details what he describes as Neuer's ongoing efforts'. I provided the link and 'starting' is wrong. Falk just mentions Neuer en passant). Editing like this replicates what UN WATCH does: creating a self-referential universe on its site, occasionally managing to blitz someone with lies or hyperbolic if not indeed paranoid inflation that lead the unwary to take them at their word and capture a blip in the 24/7 newscycle, which is then cited on their blog to underline how important they are. The more one looks into this, the sleazier the image of UN Watch: it witchhunts in McCarthyist fashion, as one can see, after the bizarre disinformation spread re Falk, it published all of Human Rights Watch's Kenneth Roth's twitter comments on the Gaza War, with Neuer stating things like: 'If anyone can identify any meaningful difference now between Hamas' social media feed and that of HRW director @kenroth, please let me know.' Hillel Neuer on Twitter July 20, 2014. This going-ballistic-discursive-overkill is perhaps why he is generally ignored in serious articles about the I/P conflict. By the way, you were wrong to take the article by Phyllis Bennis (9 books - innumerable articles, hence we have an article on her. How many books and articles has Neuer written?) as criticism by Al Jazeera. Her remarks there were a smaller version of what she wrote elsewhere:

Many of those attacks resulted from smear campaigns launched by UN Watch, a right-wing outfit in Geneva known for its anti-UN, anti-Palestinian, pro-Israel and anti-human rights agenda. It has attacked Richard many times before, but this time, sadly, it managed to influence none other than Ken Roth and the leadership of Human Rights Watch, despite a history of even attacking HRW itself. In response, a broad coalition of Palestinian, Israeli, U.S., and international human rights organizations mobilized in Richard’s defense; so far Human Rights Watch has yet to adequately respond. My al-Jazeera article, “Human Rights Watch: Time to Stand With Human Rights Defenders,” appeared a few days ago, noting how sad it is that HRW collapsed under the pressure even while its Middle East staff is doing such good work.' Phyllis Bennis It’s a New Year, But Old Wars and Occupations Continue Institute for Policy Studies 11 January 2013

I was originally wary of denying Neuer a page, - the sourcing at a lazy glance seemed ample. But the more I look into it, the stronger the impression that this is just another example of a raucously polemical POV-pushing lobby trying to get wiki space for its director as a noted critic of human rights abuse when he is just one of numerous people who go berserk at the least hint that Israel is not quite immaculate 'light unto the nations.' but rather more or less behaves historically as other colonial powers tend to do, if their bona fides is questioned.Both articles are essentially booster pieces with editors simply showcasing what the organization anjd its director are proud of, and how they see themselvesNishidani (talk) 18:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, are you reading this stuff or just googling and plastering anything you come up with on this page, with dysfunctional links? The first link is against the UN Watch, not an independent source. The second link doesn't work, at least for me. I get a blank request for an article in Pro Quest.

Nonsense on wheels, please WP:AGF. Of course I read articles that I reference, or cite. I used the link to UNWatch to reference that article, because it is an open source. The link to Proquest copy of the Edmonton Journal article works when I try it . and WP:HEY I added a handful of additional sources, facts to the page. A great deal more WP:RS information on Neuer exists, going back about two decades. Article on Neuer can ahd shoudl be expanded, it needs, for example an article on his work with Durban II, a subject (Neuer's involvement) on which plentiful sourcing exists. This, however, is a classic example of WPBLUDGEONING an Afd on an individual whose political commitments are uncongenial to Nishidani.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As to WP:BLUDGEON, read the page and count our respective comments. At AfDs we have both commented on, you will recall, it is a policy associated with you, not myself, by third parties. To repeat, asserrtions that 'a great deal more WP:RS information on Neuer exists, going back about two decades,' are just that, and pointless if we are just sent to some UN Watch page. WP:AGF again, is, wrongly cited. I didn't mention editors here, I referred to my feeling that nothing UN Watch writes on human rights is credible because, though its comments on many tinpot dictatorships represented in the UN state the obvious, amply documented by serious Human Rights NGOs, they are unreadable because Neuer and UN Watch refuse to apply the same criteria to Israel's behavior as a belligerent occupant of another country, and therefore the moral outrage is hollow, and 'instrumental' (it means, in laymen's language: 'those bastards get away with it, so they have no right to criticize us for doing the same.'

Comments on "the subject" and notability: Neuer is a contributor/writer and not an author. Why is there confusion on this? Where are the peer reviewed publications and ISSN/ISBN numbers with him as the author and the Published works section in the article? Where are publications not associated with Neuer as "Director of UN Watch" or variations to show independence? Refbombing links that continually show the subject, through interviews, blogs, and press releases (etc...), always associated with UN WATCH, just muddy the waters and still points to person A (Neuer) has a relationship with well-known organization B (UN Watch). This BLP has become a battleground of the subject championing a cause when that is not relevant. He is NOT a renowned international lawyer but an individual that practiced international law. This is particularly important (concerning notability) if sourcing shows Lawyer A has a relationship with law firm B. This is acceptable content and sourcing in a BLP but there is nothing to show individual notability. Neuer is in a field with many thousands like the 16,000 member International Bar Association. His notability began and is solely associated with UN Watch. 1000 more interviews or press releases (etc...) that include "Director of UN Watch Hillel Neuer" (or variations) still point to UN Watch. There is too much politicizing his cause that is not the issue. Even the blog by Neuer The 10 most insane UN anti-Israel actions of 2017 states, "In response, UN Watch executive director Hillel Neuer took the floor...".

Comment
If the shameful decision to delete or redirect this page takes place, it is important to provide the following information for the record.
Nishidani is distracting the discussion from the issue, and violates the WP:IDONTKNOWIT rule, proved by completely off topics comments (and I quote him) ..."what UN WATCH does: creating a self-referential universe on its site, occasionally managing to blitz someone with lies or hyperbolic if not indeed paranoid inflation that lead the unwary"... And "concerns for the systematic injustices meted out to Palestinians over 50 years of military occupation", and ..."UN Watch refuse to apply the same criteria to Israel'"
How are these related to the discussion about Hillel Neuer's notability? They undoubtedly aren't.
Otr500's claims that all secondary sources cite Hillel Neuer as the UN Watch and nothing more have been debunked over and over (see below the collapsed info) but the user keeps repeating them. You can call him a writer if you prefer, not an author, and say there are thousands of other lawyers, it doesn't change a thing, his writings and coverage are way more than enough to justify his damn article.
The basis of the argument of those in favor of deleting or redirecting the page is the false notion that the man "is only referred to as the director of UN Watch" and that there are no secondary sources, so since all of you refused to look inside the sources provided, I will quote them and provide the text that refutes these claims.

Neuer, an international lawyer, diplomat, writer and activist, runs UN Watch, an organization based in Geneva, Switzerland that monitors and reports on the actions of the United Nations. He was one of the "Top 100 Most Influential Jewish People in the World" listed by Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper. In his remarks, Neuer discussed the various ways in which the U.N., and especially its Human Rights Commission, singles out Israel for negative resolutions. The Commission, whose first chairperson was Eleanor Roosevelt, had been "hijacked by dictators," he said, to the degree that in 2005, it was disbanded and reformed

[full coverage about him as the topic of the article]

...Neuer said in the talk on Oct. 1, presented by Jewish Law Students Association. “Countries do not want to be shamed on the international stage—even powerful countries like China. … It harms their international prestige, it erodes their international standing, it can have economic and political consequences.” Neuer is an outspoken critic of the UN in his position with UN Watch, a Geneva-based human rights NGO. He appears regularly before the 47-nation Council and has intervened on behalf of the victims of Darfur, the rights of women, political prisoners in China, Russia, and Zimbabwe, and the cause of Middle East peace. In his talk, Neuer discussed the history of the UN Human Rights Commission, which began in 1946 with Eleanor Roosevelt as its first chairperson. The organization drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights​—which, Neuer said, continues to be a “beacon of hope.” But the legacy of the Commission (which later evolved into the Council) has been tarnished in recent decades, Neuer said. A particular low point: Jean Ziegler, who previously helped create a human rights prize in the name of Libyan dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi, was named to a UN Human Rights Council Advisory Committee in 2008 and reelected last year, Neuer said. (Ziegler also has been named a winner of the prize, along with Hugo Chávez, Fidel Castro, and others). On a larger scale, countries Neuer referred to as “tyrannies”—specifically China, Cuba, Russia, and Saudi Arabia—have sought and won membership on the Council. Still, he is optimistic that some improvements can occur. “We need our countries to step up to the plate. … I couldn’t get any democracies to join me when we did a campaign to fight against China’s selection” to join the Council, Neuer said. “We need democracies to find their backbone, to risk at time trade ties with China because it’s the right thing to do.”

Here, he is cited by the respectable Cambridge Core - not as the head of the UN Watch which is not mentioned at all

...In March 2015, the United Nations (U.N.) Independent Commission of Inquiry on the 2014 Gaza conflict will release its report to the U.N. Human Rights Council. Read below for an in-depth analysis from leading expert, Hillel Neuer"...

The article then goes on to provide Neuer's analysis, it is not a Op-ed written by Neuer, so it is not primary source and not just a "single mention"
"Hillel Neuer of the Shalem Center (which is partially funded by Sheldon Adelson) looks at the role of the court described by Justice Barak and he sees dangerous activism limiting the rights of the majority to pass laws as it sees fit, even if such laws may be profoundly undemocratic and discriminatory."
Look, again, no mention UN Watch at all.
"[Hillel Neuer] faces some of the world’s worst perpetrators of human rights abuses as they deny their crimes and scapegoat Israel at the same time. Talking with Neuer, two things become clear. The first is that he cares deeply and passionately for human rights. The second is that he is Canadian and that he credits his nationality with helping him in fighting for No. 1. It is a strange mix of poised seriousness and a good sense of humor – another thing he says helps him do his job. Anyone who follows the UN to even a minimal degree knows that Israel is singled out disproportionately for resolutions and condemnations. I asked Neuer: What is behind this seeming bias? How entrenched is it? What can be done about it? A few of his answers surprised me"...
No good either?

And then there is this interview. The original link is dead so it is accessed from the UN watch but the point as the user E.M.Gregory said still stands of course.

" THE TALENT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

“Editor’s Voice,” by Howard Bosker

When I met Hillel Neuer, BA 93, at a Montreal café in early spring, he apologized for being a few minutes late. Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, which is based in Geneva, Switzerland, explained that he had been on the phone with a writer from the Wall Street Journal. I was truly humbled. After all, as Neuer soon related, he and UN Watch are quoted about 250 times per year by international news agencies and publications and major TV networks, making him one of the Concordia graduates who is most frequently cited by the media. I wondered how enthusiastic he’d be to meet with someone from a publication with a circulation in the tens of thousands rather than hundreds of thousands — or more. It turns out my worries were unfounded. Hillel admitted that he was only too happy to be interviewed because our university is in his blood: both his parents and three of his six siblings are Concordia alumni! Over the next hour, he described his work at UN Watch (see “Watching the watchers” on page 16). He was so eloquent and forthcoming that only a question-and-answer piece could do his story justice. The non-governmental organization for which he works advocates for human rights, fights anti-Semitism and keeps an eye on the UN and the UN Human Rights Council — a tall order to be sure. The inappropriately named council typically ignores or apologizes for the world’s worst human rights offenders — some of which are ironically among its 47 members. Still, Hillel contends that the council wields international influence and must be held accountable for sticking to its own mandate, which includes upholding the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Hillel said that politics captivated him at age 10, when he and a neighbour recreated historical political scenes, such as the John F. Kennedy assassination,”which we then forced our parents to watch!” he recalled. Hillel added that his time at Concordia’s Liberal Arts Collegeand Department of Political Science set him on a path toward human-rights advocacy.Today, he’s not recreating but actually helping to shape history. […]

Hillel Neuer, BA 93 (west. soc. cult. & poli. sci.), is a busy man. Neuer is executive director of UN Watch, a non-governmental organization (NGO) that keeps a close eye on the controversial United Nation Human Rights Council based in Geneva, Switzerland, the UN in New York City and human rights abuses around the world. “And human rights issues arise 24 hours a day,” Neuer says.

UN Watch (unwatch.org) was founded in 1993 by Morris Abram, an American lawyer who worked at the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal after the Second World War, was a leading advocate in the civil rights movement, served under five American presidents and was the United States’ ambassador to the UN in Geneva. UN Watch’s stated mission is to monitor the performance of the United Nations by the yardstick of its own charter. It also is often called upon by international media organizations to provide analyses and commentaries on UN and human rights issues. “In a given year, we may be quoted in 250 separate articles, in Reuters, The Economist, The International Herald Tribune, The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal. And I’ve debated on CNN, Fox News, BBC, Al Jazeera and other TV networks,” Neuer points out.

Neuer graduated from the Liberal Arts College and also majored in Political Science at Concordia. He then earned civil and common-law degrees from McGill University, completing his final year at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He remained in Israel to clerk for an Israeli Supreme Court justice and completed a master’s of law degree at Hebrew University. Neuer then took a position at a New York City law firm, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, and in 2004, became executive director of UN Watch.

"Hillel Neuer Executive Director, UN Watch". University of Winnipeg. 2007. Retrieved 27 January 2010.

"Neuer has written widely on law, politics and international affairs for publications such as the International Herald Tribune, Juriste International, Commentary, The New Republic Online and the Christian Science Monitor. He appears regularly before the UN Human Rights Council—intervening for causes ranging from the rape victims of Darfur to the pursuit of Middle East peace—and recently testified as an expert witness before a hearing of the U.S. Congress. Neuer is frequently quoted for his analysis of UN affairs by major media organizations around the world, including the New York Times, Die Welt, Le Figaro and Reuters. In the past year he has debated UN human rights issues on CNN, Fox News, and the BBC. Prior to joining UN Watch, Neuer practiced commercial and civil rights litigation at the international law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Active as a human rights defender, Neuer was cited by the federal court of the Southern District of New York for the high quality of his pro bono advocacy on a precedent-setting case for prisoners’ rights and freedom of religion. He holds a BA in intellectual history and political science from Concordia University, a BCL and LLB from the McGill University Faculty of Law, as well as an LLM in comparative constitutional law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Neuer is a member of the New York bar."

And this is a partial list, it excludes tens of other sources that cover the man to lesser extent (NY Times and other media outlets, news appearances, books, articles in other languages which are an issue to cite here).

  • Keep passes threshold at WP:GNG. There are plenty of reliable sources independent of the subject that cover his life and work in sufficient detail. --Jayron32 15:52, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All I can see is a hastily run-up complete editing mess from self-referential sources, provincial newspapers, or some mainstream news outlets whose content just repeats the UN critic meme. WP:GNG reads: (A)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

Well, let's go through it systematically and see how it is sourced.

  • This is not quite Winnepeg University, a conference which has left no mark on the Winnepeg U pages, apparently. It is a brief note introducing Neuer, who was to speak at a conference there in February 2007, and is just a reprint of his curriculum vita This bare CV source is used 5 times.
  • [16] This is a primary source registration at the Chicago City Clerk’s office. If this gesture was noteworthy, rather than the mayor’s doing him a personal favour, where is the secondary source?
  • Paul Lungen Hillel Neuer: Jewish eyes on the United Nations 10 January 2016 Canadian Jewish News An inrteerview which recaps everything that is repeated elsewehere. It has one notable quote we don't use.

I try to recall the tradition of Abraham, who was one of the world’s first non-conformists and at a time of idolatry, he spoke for the one God. That’s what I try to do here.

I don't know why the editor or Neuer didn't realize he was going public identifying Israel with God, and himself in the UN as an Abrahamic figure contesting idolatry of the Palestinians. Go figure.

This appears to be wrong attribution. The screed is an essay by Hillel Neuer, which begins with the usual hyperbole:

If an alien from another planet visited the United Nations and listened to its debates, read its resolutions, and walked its halls, the extraterritorial observer would logically conclude that a principal purpose of the world body is to censure a tiny country called Israel.

The type of hyperbole analysed by one of his sharpest critics, Scott Long

In the other corner: the appalling Neuer and his organization. “UN Watch” can be said to watch the UN (which certainly bears watching) only if I could be said to read the New York Times by doing the crossword puzzles obsessively and throwing the other 100+ pages away. Scott Long, Hillel Neuer: Liar. Mona Seif: Hero. a paper bird 3 May 2013

Neuer's UN Watch team screened 93,000 tweets by Mona Seif, an extraordinary human rights critic of Egypt's regimes, Israel's ally, and found just three they thought could be twisted to show she was a blood curdling anisemite, an imputation Long tears apart in great contextual detail. Please note that, this Neuer page has zero mentions of the many criticisms made of him, UN Watch and their smear tactics. Sheer boosterism. Nishidani (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The keynote speaker at the June 18 gala will be Hillel Neuer, the Montreal-born executive director of UN Watch in Geneva, Switzerland, which combats anti-Israel expressions made by the United Nations Human Rights Council.A former student of Krantz’s at Concordia’s Liberal Arts College, Neuer is one of a cadre of students trained at CIJR who have gone on to be effective advocates for Israel.Neuer, a McGill University law graduate, was editor of the CIJR student publication Dateline: Middle East. His writings today are published widely and he is a frequent commentator on major TV networks. On June 19, Neuer will speak at a CIJR cocktail reception in Toronto.

“Sadly,” says Hillel Neuer, the director of UN Watch, “with members like China, Russia, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Venezuela and Qatar, the UNHRC today may possibly rank as a more corrupt international organization than FIFA.”

How does our editor spin that thin quote out. He writes:

Neuer has represented human rights victims in testimony before the UN Human Rights Council, a body which he highly criticized

which is classic WP:OR, totally unrelated to what Neuer states. (I must dine, will continue later) Nishidani (talk) 18:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what just happened, for those who would understandably have a difficult time following the entire thread. I re-listed independent secondary sources that cover the man in question extensively in various ways, and the comment above dismissed them all by labeling them as "self-referential sources, provincial newspapers, or some mainstream news outlets whose content just repeats the UN critic meme" - and I ask, does anyone agree with this assertion, considering they're coming from a variety of places: From hard left magazine Mondoweiss, to academic Concordia University (and we've seen here that there are additional academics books talking about Hillel), to Zionist AIPAC and as well as the National Jpost. Instead, the comment then reviews trivial and insignificant sources from the article that were not in question right now (with some rather inaccurate information, such as that the JUF News site mentions the subject of discussion just once.

A world class figure who's so notable that the main editor can document two events in 2007, and then a scatter of reports 2012, 2016 where or his UN Watch are repeating the same basic story. The UN Human Right Council is corrupt, hypccritical. We know that, but you don't become a distinguished figure by recycling the same story for what is it, 2 decades? The lead had the extraordinarty statement that

In 2016, the City of Chicago and Mayor Rahm Emanuel adopted a resolution declaring “Hillel Neuer Day”[10] recognizing "one of the world’s foremost human rights advocates,” and for his contributions to “promote peace, justice and human rights around the world.”

WP:Undue. A one-offer. Rahm Emanuel doing Hillel a favour declared one day in one year 2016 as ‘Hillel Neuer Day’ and it is spun out as if from that day, 15 September 2016, onwards Chicago will celebrate every 15 September as his day, which is not in the sources. Secondly, the two sources do not mention that Neuer was recognized as ‘one of the world’s foremost human rights advocates’, as implied. That phrase comes from Neuer’s own UN Watch site, quoting, apparently Rahm Emanuel's resolution. Claims like that need peer-proof, not matey puff at a minor provincial event.
Well. I see few if any are actually scrutinizing the quality of the sources, and are making judgements on numbers. So I'll continue trawling through them. This is a recap of 1-20 or so, which looks substantially like a Potemkin Village fudge. Briefly, this is the sort of coverage our article says this ‘world class figure’ is getting (1- :

Today's members — including Cuba, Venezuela, Russia and China — don't exactly rise to that challenge. But they'll aggressively defend their own abysmal records while focusing inordinate attention on the primary target of their disdain: Israel.

°(22) Frida Ghitis (5 July 2010). [ "The Human Rights Council is a tragic joke".] Cleveland Plain Dealer. Again, it appears that any time the UN Human Rights Council is mentioned, Hillel Neuer is cited by a provincial news outlet. Worse still, it was originally written for the Miami Herald, and is best known because it is, like everything else here, conserved on the UN Watch website. Nishidani (talk) 13:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finally the New York Times ! Which tells us Neuer on Twitter and at the UNWatch site did what several other NGOs did, condemn Mugabe’s appointment (like tens of thousands of astonished people).Nishidani (talk) 13:51, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • (24) Tom Wright (June 19, 2006). "Homepage - International Herald Tribune". The New York Times.

Again the title is not that. All we get is, in a report of Kofi Aannan’s remarks on the new Council, Neuer chipping in saying he hoped it would improve, but wasn’t optimistic (2006)Nishidani (talk) 14:01, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Back to his annus mirabilis 2007, when he is on a list of sceptics re the UN HR COUNCIL, starting with Kenneth Roth, Nicholas Burns of state for political affairs), Ban Ki-moon, Amnesty's Peter Splinter and Mark Lagon, again quoted for one of the two memes he is famous for.Nishidani (talk) 14:20, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • (26) dealt with above. Yale UP annoucement. Page not found. Dead link
  • (27-31) 5 articles from the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Needham Times relate just 1 trivial incident of Neuer being briefly mistaken in a pizza hut for a suspect in a local murder on 2 November 2007, again in the annus mirabilis 2007.Nishidani (talk) 14:22, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While I disagree with his disparaging comments about some of the news sources, the core of what Nishidani wrote is correct. The puffery about Neuer is unsourced. The section about his "human rights advocacy" and legal career fails verification. What else in this article will fail to hold up to scrutiny? — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 15:43, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not quite convinced he doesn't deserve a wiki page. But I think automatic pro and con, without carefully looking at how a page like this is constructed, is useless. Regularly quoted by Le Figuro turns out to be proven by two links, one which suggests in the distant past he was briefly cited in three articles, and one with the comment:'Pour le directeur de UN Watch, Hillel Neuer, les élections automatiques, faute de concurrence, «prêtent une crédibilité internationale à des gouvernements répressifs qui violent systématiquement les droits de leurs propres citoyens».' That is exactly what Neuer says a thousand times, trawling through the record, the language is always the same, the theme identical. The sourcing is pathetic. If on the other hand, a capable editor wrote it using RS that cover his life, then you might get an acceptable 2 section short wiki bio that would be neutral and pass muster. All we have is a puff page that is identical in content to UN Watch.Nishidani (talk) 16:28, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's a keep then. Couldn't you say that in one short paragraph rather than BLUDGEON all over this page? (btw re this, that would be 20 comments by you vs 10 by E.M.Gregory. 2:1 in your favor and you apparently are not done yet. Amusing). No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 17:54, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. The article as it stands is trash, which doesn't exclude that an article on Neuer might find a place here, if it attracted competent editors. As Shabazz says, retain this crap and we are just turd-polishing. More evidence of incompetence:

He is regularly quoted by major media outlets including the Jerusalem Post,[38][39] New York Times,[24] Al Jazeera,[40] Die Welt,[41] Le Figaro,[42][43] Reuters,[44] Al Ahram,[45] and CNN (notes 38-46 -8 sources for more than a decade of intense media work)

(a)The word regularly is WP:OR. One cite from the Jerusalem Post is reduplicated by quoting as an example the same ref (38-39) (b) the New Times is cited once, (c) Al Jazeera yields one quote (d) die Welt one quote, the editor makes a mistake dating this posthumously to 2015 when the date was May 13, 2010. The comment is tediously the endless meme ('Eine Gruppe von 37 Menschenrechtsgruppen hatte Libyen und Gaddafi schwere Vergehen vorgeworfen und schwere Schäden für das UN-Gremium gesehen. „Bei der Wahl eines Landes, das ständig die Menschenrechte verletzt, verletzen die Vereinten Nationen ihre eigenen Werte, ihre eigene Logik und ihre eigene Moral“, sagte UN-Watch-Chef Hillel Neuer.) (e) no 42 sends us to LeFigaro archives where one assumes he may have been cited 3 times,

  • Actually the first quotes Un Watch, and just cites a Twitter quip by Neuer mocking Iran (2017).
  • The second quotes UN Watch, and its director’s quip re North Korea.(2011);
  • The third turns out to be exactly the same article cited in the following note 43, again shuffling reduplication to create the instantaneous impression of multiple citations. (cf.38-39 are the same article from Jerusalem Post)
  • 43 gives us one example from the same.
  • Reuters quotes him once.
  • 44 Al Ahram has a dead link, and is indeterminate, like several other sources. *45 CNN one cite.

So again, fudging the evidence.Nishidani (talk) 18:29, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I.e. the language suggests each of those venues cite Neuer regularly, whereas each named has one example, save for Le Figaro which cites him 3 times over a decade, with the editor reduplicating one of those cites to give the impression he is regularly cited 4 times.Nishidani (talk) 18:29, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If this is what passes for verification in your world, you really shouldn't be participating in these discussions per CIR. For example Reuters regularly quotes him - [17], as does CNN - [18] on various issues relating the the UN and not necessarily Israel, or is over a dozen quotes not regular enough for you? The fact there's only one example in the article is not "fudging the evidence" (that's a personal attack as you know). Quit the BLUDGEONing and let people less emotionally invested in removing this article judge the evidence for themselves. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 19:10, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed you were being misleading in another respect. The article says that he is "regularly quoted" by "media outlets", not that each one of them quotes him regularly (although they do). Also, contrary to your claim, Al Figaro quoted him more than 3 times - [19]. Here's another couple dozen from Haaretz [20] and the Jerusalem Post [21] just for good measure. We are now at what, 50+ quotes in 5 major media outlets? I think that in itself is enough for GNG? It's a shame your BLUDGEONing will probably prevent most neutral editors from reading this far into the discussion. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 19:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nope.'He is regularly quoted by major media outlets.' In English and its logic, if you make a generalization of this kind, 'regularly quoted' applies to all of the named media outlets that follow. Perhaps those who write are unaware of the implications of their prose, but that is what is implied. It's careless.Nishidani (talk) 20:09, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I verified the text, no one else voting here did, and the editors made a total mess of it. Now you come round and say I failed to independently research the subject. I.e. rather than go to the root cause of this fuckup, and note that the editors of the page failed to do their homework, you attack the person who redpenciled their hackwork. It's not my remit to get interested in this kind of stuff, other than, having written some 700 articles, to indicate from experience what's wrong with stuff like this. When you reduplicate sources, you are fudging the evidence in normal English. If you want to redeem the article, do some work for once. As it stands it is not up to stub standards. And drop the 'emotionally invested'. If you want to understand what that means read Hillel Neuer's several hyperbolically intemperate character assassination pieces on decent people, which the article ignores. No trace of rational evaluation of evidence. Naomi Klein is Joseph Goebbels, Richard Falk is an anti-Semite, etc.etc.etc.Nishidani (talk) 19:42, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What you're doing above is a BLP violation. Not the first on this page I may add, although you regularly chide other editors for less egregious stuff.
You didn't "verify the text", you searched for superficial flaws and didn't even do a modicum of verification. If you had tried to verify, you wouldn't have said La Figaro only quoted him 3 times, because that's easily verified to be false. You said Reuters quoted him once. That's false. etc.etc.etc. You are not just "indicate[ing] from experience what's wrong with stuff like this". You have made over 20 comments in this discussion. You have posted by far the most amount of verbiage. You obviously don't like the subject of this article. Stop BLUDGEONING.
Now that we have actually verified the text, we know he is indeed regularly (as in dozens of times across a wide spectrum of publications) quoted in various media outlets, which in itself would put him past the GNG threshold. Put your POV aside and admit that, and move on. No More Mr Nice Guy (talk) 20:10, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • GeoffreyT2000, Hello mate! Aren't the 'sources' you are referring to are the only ones that exists online? There are plenty of places which are highly notable and they are used as landmarks and public attractions but are not there on wikipedia cause not everything is found online and only 47% of world is using internet. [22] As this is a company, a different approach should be taken to judge the notability. This article however needs editing as upon some google(ing), I found a report that claims that all the major firms like City Councils, NHS, Costa Coffee and a further big list uses this company which according to me would be a major cite.

Even though WP:NOT, and other policies allow lists, this list is not necessary as we already have Nine Inch Nails, and Nine Inch Nails discography. Basically, this is a fork of discography article. Everything from this article can be explained in the discography article. —usernamekiran(talk) 21:25, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with article on Nine Inch Nails.Vorbee (talk) 09:36, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Since spotting this AfD I have joined all the tables into one sortable table, and dab'd the song articles. This is the only place on WP you'll find this information supplied together in one place. Now for the other stuff exists argument, there are nearly 500 Lists of songs recorded by ... and Nine Inch Nails have had 8 albums, 4 EPs and countless other releases (one track on a soundtrack album etc.). - (if they had been a one-hit wonder I'd would have been with the merge/delete opinions) Finally, because of size, the merge suggestion doesn't work. NB Not saying more work couldn't be done on this and other lists (songwriters, producers, musicians, recording studio etc), but WP is a work In progress. --Richhoncho (talk) 11:25, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I don't see a problem with the list as it has been updated by Richhoncho, and it is too long to merge with the main Nine Inch Nails article or the discography article. Rlendog (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Request withdrawn Honestly speaking, I wasn't aware about Category:Lists of songs by American recording artists. Users @Ajf773, Richhoncho, and Rlendog: make a good point. I apologise for the mess. —usernamekiran(talk) 17:58, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think that not even a redirect should be preserved? Raymond3023 (talk) 14:10, 25 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not unless it has material worth preserving. Otherwise you are simply inviting it to be recreated by aspiring fancruft writers. Besides, usually that info is in the relevant Wikia if it's even a somewhat major piece of media.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:37, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - They are notable as a group, and the list provides a convenient place to include information on spacecraft that are not independently notable. Better to have this as a quick reference than to repeat all the relevant information on every article that mentions a ship. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:40, 26 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of fictional spacecraft. Concerns about cruft-attracting are more likely to be validated with a redlink than a redirect. Wikipedia is not paper; that doesn't mean we need a 5000-character article on every fictional thing but it doesn't mean "it's on Wikia" is a good reason not to at least mention it in the encyclopedia that is supposed to be the sum total of human knowledge. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:57, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • With a redlink, an article can be speedy deleted if the content isn't substantially different/improved, and salted if the article is deleted once again. With a redirect there is nothing to do but bring it to AfD... again... if the article is still cruft. A redlink is preferable for that reason. Redirects should be used if there is valuable info worth preserving (read: not cruft).ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:59, 29 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • No idea where you get "GNG is met" from this. The sources are primary, not secondary.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:31, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Wired is a primary source for Transformers? Remember, the presence of primary sources doesn't invalidate the RS'es that are present in an article. As long as there are 2-3 independent RS'es that cover the subject, GNG is met. Jclemens (talk) 06:42, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I voted delete because an article exists which covers this subject. Raymond3023 (talk) 09:16, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
JClemens has misinterpreted the GNG. It's not enough that secondary sources talk about it, but it has to get significant mentions in secondary sources. The Wired article merely has a few sentences about each Transformer. Still fails GNG.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 04:50, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep there are almost enough links for this to be a WP:SAL, and there's some sourcing (beyond the implicit sourcing to the named works) for entries that aren't notable enough for stand-alone pages. The page also doesn't seem to have WP:UNDUE detail. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But how the article is worth preserving? You should acknowledge that this is a fancruft and not really going to become any better. Raymond3023 (talk) 04:48, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:NOTPLOT, content is only in-universe plot summaries, nothing about the impact of these fictional elements on the real world. Sandstein 09:16, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Sandstein. Years ago we would've transwiki'd this to Wikia, but I would be surprised if this weren't already there in far greater detail. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 16:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't checked but you made a good point there. Raymond3023 (talk) 16:59, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  From reading the first AfD, this list was in part a decision reached to handle articles on individual transformers deemed non-notable, and WP:PRESERVE is an important policy, else we would be treating our content contributers with disrespect.  The NOTPLOT issue was raised at the previous AfD.  It isn't on its face an issue since a plot, as per Google's definition 2 is, "the main events of a play, novel, movie, or similar work, devised and presented by the writer as an interrelated sequence," so at one level this is not an article about an interrelated sequence of events, so there is no plot whatsoever.  And it is not the case that the list entries dwell on fictional aspects or violates MOS:INUNIVERSE, and completely removing the fictional relevance would be counter-productive.  As mentioned at the previous AfD there is real-world crossover here looking at toys, comics, and animated series.  I don't have an opinion about merging, as this is a decision for the content contributors, but if the article is merged, there should be no prejudice to continued improvements to the encyclopedia, which includes an unmerge.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect without merging to List of fictional spacecraft. The main question here IMO is whether LISTN is met, and it is not. The cites that meet RS do not discuss the topic of spacecraft in the franchise, specifically. The article's content is unneeded cruft that is not worth merging. James (talk/contribs) 20:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per James above, WP:LISTN is not met. The sources in the article discuss various individual craft/robots from the article in detail, but not as a group. I couldn't find any LISTN-satisfying references by Googling. Daß Wölf 01:50, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above comments and apparent lack of consensus. The page is informative for readers researching the subject. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:24, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:LISTN is not met here. List of fictional spacecraft exists, which is why the article becomes more redundant. Raymond3023 (talk) 12:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Per WP:NOTPLOT, as indicated by Sandstein. On a more detailed analysis, some of the information cited in the article could possibly be added to other articles pertaining to the subject (Transformers), but the vast majority of the article is un-sourced and unnecessary. Fans of Transformers interested in this peculiar topic should either look at a specific Transformers-Wiki page or, better yet, support their franchise by purchasing specialized books on the subject. Additionally, it's important to point out that just listing books in the bibliography is not enough proof of notability; specific citations from the books should also be present in the article.--MarshalN20 ✉🕊 02:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I don't think there are any Wikipedia articles about NAIA football rivalries, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't. I'm inclined to give this one a chance due to the history. Not ready to take a position just yet, want to see some more research. As it stands now, it doesn't look like the article itself supports WP:GNG but there likely is a good amount of offline historical sources that could be drummed up.--Paul McDonald (talk) 22:28, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- does not meet notability guidelines and significant RS coverage not found. Basically, fancruft and trivia. No value to the project. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - My searches (limited to on-line sources) did not turn up any significant coverage, let alone in multiple, reliable, and independent sources. The coverage is the key, but I find it telling as an aside that nobody has even bothered to create an article on the Western Oregon football program, and the overall article on the Western Oregon Wolves doesn't even discuss the football program. If the Western Oregon football program isn't important enough to motivate anyone to create a stand-alone article (or even a sentence discussion in the overall program article), then it's very doubtful that its "rivalry" with Southern Oregon warrants a stand-alone article. If examples of significant coverage were to be provided, I would consider changing my vote. Cbl62 (talk) 17:24, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. As the subject of Kayla Moore’s remarks, he is tangentially related to Moore’s loss in the recent election.

Delete as per nominated, I was able to find a few news sources from such as CNN, New York News Daily, The Washington Post, all except the last, mention him breifly. Only the Washington Post has anything in-depth about him. I would prefer to see more in-depth news sources about him. I would also it would fail WP:BIO due to the fact none of them really cover him in depth besides Washington Post. Even though he has been mentioned in multiple news sources does not make him notable, seeing as how any information from the news articles are pretty much interviews on his beliefs, and a little about him. I also was looking at the Washington Post article, here, certain parts of the Biography section look like they came from the Washington Post article pretty much, but not a direct copvio. Since he was involved in abortion protests that might fail WP:BIO1E since one events are generally not notable within themselves. As to per the loss of the election I wasn't really able to find anything about that. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 17:07, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. When I first came across this article I too did some research in an attempt to verify some of the claims made. According to the sources I found she's one of the most prolific songwriters in Hollywood, but I could not find a single RS that verified any specifics (other than writing a song for Veeram, though the only links I can find are for the trailer itself and not the film). Everything else is a Wikipedia mirror or just a vague "she's written songs for X, Y, and Z shows". Willing to be convinced otherwise, but I just don't see it right now.

No evidence of notability. Links to two apparently non-notable films (redlinks). Only reference is to IMDb. The editor who deprodded said "starring roles in long-running TV series strongly suggests sufficient notability" but I can't see the evidence of "starring roles in long-running TV series" and nothing is obvious from a Google search. David Biddulph (talk) 14:20, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. While IMDB is not by our standards a 'reliable source', it shows Del Ray appearing in 77 episodes of La pecera de Eva, 6 episodes of Muñecas, and 263 episodes of Acacias 38, in which she is listed first in the cast. I believe that justifies more investigation. --Michig (talk) 14:41, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course I'll be happy with further investigation. At first glance none of the series which you mention have been considered notable, but if reliable sources can be found to demonstrate that the subject satifies WP:NACTOR or otherwise satisfies WP:GNG then of course there would be a case to retain the article. The original creator of the article didn't mention any of those series, but this may be another demonstration that the editor concerned has a lot to learn. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:56, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Most TV series with any sort of significant run are considered notable. The fact that we don't have articles on them, given that these are Spanish TV dramas, is not an indication that they are not notable. --Michig (talk) 16:32, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete Wikipedia guidelines are that all articles need to be verified. That means having reliable sources, which IMDb is not. Beyond that, we have especially strong guidelines for biographies of living people. This person is a living person. There are no sources at all. We should delete the article with speed. There is no evidence that the film and TV show are notable. There is no evidence on them at all. Beyond that, it is unclear that Del Rey had in any way significant roles in either performance, since we have no reliable sourcing at all. Unless we have reliable sourcing, we should not create such empty biographies of people, especially living people. Wikipedia has a horrible problem of biographies sourced only to IMDb, and little evidence that this situation is going to improve. We cannot keep such non-sourced biographies on living people. It is just not justifiable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- about 90% of the article is about various businessess as in:
  • "In March 2016, the Jean Boulle Luxury Group announced the launch of its patent-pending, proprietary Sun King diamond compound for luxury finishes, and confirmed the delivery of the first car with this finish.[36][37]"
The rest of the article is pretty much the same. This is not a bio page, but a business page, and notability is not inherited. So, delete, for lack of sources that discuss the subject directly and in detail. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:12, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The subject matter is clearly notable as already pointed out by various editors and as any objective reader will see when the citations are read and researched. To take two examples: The discovery of Voisey’s bay Mine as founding shareholder of Diamond Fields Resources has had an historical impact on mining in Canada. The discovery of a new heart valve as founding shareholder of Tendyne is a historical first in medical science.

The subject matter appears to have worked through many companies founded to become notable and, objectively, there is nothing unusual or ‘promotional’ about this and it should not be held against the article. Companies, as the building blocks of society, enable individuals to achieve notability and are therefore, to a certain extent, inseparable from their founder-owners.

Conversely, what could be construed as commercial and therefore possibly “promotional” are the specific lines below which despite being factual (after checking) have too many press release type references and these need to be rewritten and corrected: “In March 2016, the Jean Boulle Luxury Group announced the launch of its patent-pending, proprietary Sun King diamond compound for luxury finishes, and confirmed the delivery of the first car with this finish.[36][37] In March 2017, the Jean Boulle Luxury Group announced that its patent-pending Sun KingTluxury diamond finish technology had been used in a paint exhibited on a Rolls-Royce Ghost Elegance (EWB) at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.[38][39][40] In April 2017, the Luxury Group announced that the technology had been applied to a classic Pininfarina-styled Bentley, the Bentley Azure exhibited at the Top Marques Monaco Super Car show.[41][42][43] On 11 May 2017, the group signed an agreement with AkzoNobel for the production of its aviation grade Sun King Diamond Coating for the private and commercial jet markets.[44][45] On 22 May 2017, the group launched the world’s first aircraft finished with Sun King diamond coating (produced by AkzoNobel in Holland) at EBACE 2017 in Geneva, the first to be covered in natural gem diamonds onto an ultra long-range Bombardier Aerospace Global Express.[46][47][48] ”

If we assume ALL of these lines to be too commercial, or possibly to be “promotional” (which is not a given as some references are from such entities as Forbes) then they would represent 172 words out of 1074 words in the article (excluding references, which are not counted) or 16 Percent of the article. It is therefore inaccurate and clearly an exaggeration to classify 90% of the article as being “promotional”.

Please refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adastra_Minerals — 197.226.59.151 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 04:58, 31 December 2017 (UTC).[reply]

The context that gave rise to the deletion notice is that the BLP was characterised as:

(i) a run-of-the mill metals trader. (ii) a Plutocrat. (iii) having 'staggeringly vulgar products'.

But the BLP

(i) is not a 'run-of-the mill metals trader' and is notable, given the strong quality of the BLP related sources including those cited as I have argued and which has subsequently been confirmed.

(ii) A Plutocrat is not an objective word with hints of COI and is in and of itself a BLP violation (The Wikipedia Guidelines also apply to discussion pages). In addition, I think there's no source saying that he's one and that makes the ‘plutocrat’ argument doubly invalid.

(iii) "staggeringly vulgar products" cannot be used as a basis for a deletion notice. The editor concerned did not and has not provided a source nor details for what appears to be a subjective and personal pronouncement.

The basis on which the deletion notice was created therefore (with the leitmotif "'run of the mill'" or "'normal'") was anything but 'run of the mill' or 'normal' because there was no rational foundation for the deletion notice and they are not based on rational facts per (i) - (iii) above or are a clear BLP violation.

In addition, there were factually very strong indications of COI in the deletion process when concerted votes by fake accounts came to light and were blocked. 197.226.59.60 (talk) 05:11, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The current article is an excessively promotional hagiography. There are enough good sources out there to pass WP:GNG, such as this Forbes article, 1998. At present WP:TNT seems the best option. Edwardx (talk) 18:14, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please note that the basis and the reason we are voting here is that Wikipedia articles should be judged on their notability and not the condition as per WP:NOTCLEANUP, which is an equally valid argument. The fact that you support that it clearly passes WP:GNG is an even more solid argument as to why it should be kept, to be edited by you or any other editor who feels like something shouldnt be there as it is.

  • keep, but probably TNT the whole article other than the lede needs a huge rewrite. (following comments are from the DRV): [25] and [26] are both fine sources. There are many many books that discuss him (e.g. [27] where he is in the title of a chapter and [28] which is more typical of these books). Now given sources like these, this will end up being a fairly negative BLP and we tend to want darn strong sources for such a BLP. But I think we've got them.

    • I've added the Forbes article and a book (Mercenaries: An African Security Dilemma). I think the lede is now okay and fairly balanced. The article needs a rewrite however. The majority of sources out there have some fairly harsh things to say about this person. Our article doesn't reflect that. As noted, it might make sense to use WP:TNT to nuke all but the lede and then putting it under some form of protection to prevent the hagiography. Hobit (talk) 16:38, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only very few of the albums from List of best-selling albums are soundtrack. So, these two are related, but not the same. And, the article is provided with good references as well. মাখামাখি (talk) 09:44, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not the first article about a Parish; there are others about Anglican and Catholic Parishes. In fact, the reason I have written the title as the Salisbury Catholic Parish SA, it is because there is another article about a Salisbury Parish located in New Brunswick Canada, plus the necessity to distinguish the Salisbury Catholic Parish from the Salisbury Anglican Parish. Therefore, I think that Wikipedia needs to be consistent and we cannot write just about the Canadian Parishes and leave outside the Australian ones or about the Anglican Parishes and ignore the Catholic Parishes. I agree that the notability of this article is not because it is about a Catholic Parish, but because from a historic perspective for the City of Salisbury Council, the city of Adelaide and ultimately South Australia, the Salisbury Parish represents an important part of their heritage and history. The fact that the Parish is not five hundred years old as some Parishes in Europe or hundreds of years as the Parishes in the Americas does not mean that the article is irrelevant. Unfortunately, the history of Australia is very recent compared to other countries and hardly you will find something about before 1840s in Adelaide, except for Aboriginal art. Hence, using such a criteria, it would be very hard to write about South Australian History in Wikipedia. But if we consider that the old St Augustine Church and the presbytery are among the oldest buildings in the district and that they are considered heritage buildings by the authorities, then I do not think that it can be ignore their relevance. Actually, in Salisbury there were some other churches that were considered as heritage, but unfortunately we have lost them by reason of different circumstances. Also to be noted that the St Augustine Church was used by the Orthodox community until they were able to build their own church, so this temple is also part of the past of the Orthodox community. All this history perhaps is not important for somebody at the other side of the World or maybe living in Sydney or Melbourne, but from the South Australian viewpoint, it is part of the history that we would like to leave to our children and grandchildren. Otherwise, as it happened with the old Methodist Church in Salisbury, it will be knocked down or remodelled as it was the case of the Anglican old church. I spoke to my brother who is an architect and he assures me that from an architectural point of view definitely the old church has notability. The fact that you may not be interested in the history of Salisbury or that you do not share historic or architectural interests does not mean that an article is not notable, but I can tell you that for most locals is central to their identity. I have also added some references where those sources were provided by local authorities and from their perspective the Salisbury Parish is also part of our history. The same case is for the cemetery and the schools, if you consider how many pioneers are buried in such cemetery and how many children from these area have studied in those schools. Probably, the article needs improvement to transmit clearer these ideas. However, please consider that about 20% of the population in this area is Catholic and that we share this heritage, but even for people that are not Catholics such as the Orthodox community, the Catholic Parish and their churches and schools are valuable and of their interest. About including this information in the article of the Archdiocese of Adelaide, please keep in mind that there are about 69 Parishes in the Archdiocese and perhaps some are very small, but there are some others that have their own history and they are very active hence, the length of the article of the archdiocese could become very long.

  • Keep. I've changed my opinion based on the notability of the historic buildings per WP:GEOFEAT and the historic contribution of the parish to the Salisbury community per WP:GNG (particularly as the history of the parish is intrinsically tied to the history of the buildings). There could be a better title and a more appropriate focus for the article, but that is a separate discussion.

Contested prod on the basis that the Liga MX Feminil is a professional league and the player has played u20 international football. However the league is not confirmed as fully professional and players need to have played senior international football to be notable under NFOOTY. The original concern remains: Player fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Discussion here failed to achieve consensus that the league was fully professional. With only a small handful of games played and no indication of international appearances at any level, it is doubtful that the player could satisfy GNG.

  • Delete - the editor objecting to deletion, User:Patapsco913, created this article on 23 December, today added a huge number of Nate Bloom WP:LINKSPAM to Wikipedia articles, in most cases adding it as gratuitous WP:OVERCITING to articles that already had proper RS cites to support Jewish heritage. This strikes me as highly suspicious evidence that this is a WP:COI editor, and his comments should be taken in that perspective. And given the dozens of such cites today alone, I would also take his "300 wiki articles" statement in that perspective. --Tenebrae (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unless it becomes a gigantic phenomenon that develops it's own unique characteristics from Britpop, there is no need for a full article about it. Post-punk revival, for example, deserves its own article because it is a big phenomenon and is completely different from post-punk. This just seems the same.

  • Delete- Falls under Wikipedia:INDISCRIMINATE. Its also worth noting that most (but not all) of the books are not notable enough themselves to have an article and neither are the authors of the books. And an even stronger argument to delete is this list fails WP:V. Without any sources, how do we know what these books are about? Looks like somebody did original research.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:36, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The deletion rationale seems to be an issue with the bibliography format of article, which is distinct type of list article. The same arguments could be applied to most of the pages in Category:Wikipedia bibliographies. It's standard for this sort of list to include more than just notable titles or works by notable authors. The inclusion criteria could be tightened, the list pruned, and secondary sources added, but these don't seem like reasons for deletion in such a case. It's unfortunate we don't have more guidelines set out for this sort of article, since they are indeed unusual animals. I wouldn't be opposed to moving them into projectspace, even, but that's a separate conversation. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:03, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. i was surprised, at first, at these bibliographical list articles. it seemed they were saying a whole bunch of nonnotable books deserved an article. that does seem odd. i just thought of another way to look at it. see it as a "further reading" section on the topic, just expanded and set into its own article, for topics that have a large number of scholarly and other works about them.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:01, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Where is the WP:PAG that supports indiscriminate lists of documents that are, in the main, never going to be usable as WP:RS? This might be a job for Wikibooks, but not Wikipedia. Guy (Help!) 01:10, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It isn't indiscriminate except insofar as most of our bibliography articles are indiscriminate (e.g. not limited to notable items). It's a list of works about Oakland, California. Are you saying that's not a notable topic? Or that it's too broad/narrow of a topic to be useful (such that the actual content of the list doesn't come into play)? Or is it that the list needs cleanup (i.e. that it needs to be pruned, sources added, a tighter inclusion criteria, etc.)? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:36, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Effectively a library catalog. Fails IINFO. James (talk/contribs) 20:16, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'd like to reiterate that, again, the reasons given for deletion seem to take issue with the legitimacy of the bibliography list format in general rather than this topic in particular. There's no question that there are many works about the history of Oakland, and there are many history books that themselves have bibliographies treating this topic as a group. If the issue is that it needs a more stringent inclusion criteria or more sources, that's cleanup. I don't see people doubting that this is notable. Rather, the issues seem to be about WP:NOT -- issues that would apply to most of the bibliography lists we have. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:32, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into some other bibliography with a broader scope. I get what you mean, Rhododendrites, but it this particular bib is still non-notable. It fails WP:BIB#Notability of bibliography articles, itself based on LISTN. Try to find a bibliography of Oakland outside of Wikipedia that isn't a WP:MIRROR or just the bibliography of a specific essay about Oakland. What we really need is a Bibliography of California which for some reason doesn't exist despite the fact that we have a Bibliography of Los Angeles and a Bibliography of the Sierra Nevada.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:54, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are you lumping books about Oakland in with just the bibliography of a specific essay about Oakland? One of the examples of WP:BIB points to a book about fly fishing because "Source contains a comprehensive bibliography of fly fishing related books." In a way, whether or not a bibliography has been treated as a group is a question of whether a subject has been the primary subject of substantial works, since a respectable nonfiction book about a subject is going to contain a bibliography about that subject. There are bibliographies in many of the very works listed in this bibliography, for example. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:41, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My concern is that the list is indiscriminate. I removed a number of self-published books, for example. Guy (Help!) 16:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've debated whether this article can be saved or not, but I think that most of the references are too much based on what Yoa claimed to a trusting journalist, rather than what a truly independent journalist finds, to be considered reliable sources. His sporting career is entirely non-notable. It's full of "almost signed", "poised to sign", "going to" or self-referenced interview information. There is no evidence anywhere from a primary or reputable database/sporting records website of him playing at a fully professional level, in association or Australian rules football. I'm not an expert on soccer, but his Aussie rules experience is being invited to train by an AFL club (probably more as a multicultural promotion as a real pathway to playing in the AFL), and then playing in a local amateur league (and AFL doesn't have any promotion/relegation to make lower league clubs notable). The social work, motivational speaking and becoming a "go-to" spokesman for the Sudanese community in Australia, is I think why this article exists. It is to provide backup and credibility to his positioning as a community leader - and that it back to front to how wikipedia should work. The-Pope (talk) 03:20, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG and doesn't meet anything else. Seems he is very good at marketing himself.

  • courtesy @Joe Decker: approved article. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:39, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I've been following. I think the case for notability (ignoring the promotional effects) largely succeeds or fails based on the attack and subsequent events that follow from it, rather than sports, and that that argument is marginal enough that I'm abstaining. (Consensus seems apparent here, in any case.) --joe deckertalk 01:25, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: He is 100% not notable for sports. Examples of these potentially incorrect claims he has made include playing "professionally" for two extremely large English Premier League teams (Queens Park Rangers & Chelsea). While this is "original research" of a kind I could find no evidence that this ever happened beyond maybe trial periods, nor is there evidence he played senior Victoria Premier League matches for either Oakleigh or Springvale. Nor the team from Malta. He doesn't show up in any major Football player database (eg, Transfermarkt). He also claimed to have played NCAA level Basketball for Cincinnati, again I found no evidence that he ever played for this nationally broadcasted high ranking college basketball team. The claims he's making in athletics (in particular his 100 meter & 200 meter "personal bests"), would put him at an Australian ranking near the 100, among full time professional and career amateurs (example, his 100 meter time is better than an Australian Olympic decathlon representative). Macktheknifeau (talk) 12:07, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • On general notability, I do not consider being used as a "source" or "expert" (ie, on so called "African Gangs") by a handful of news organisations makes himself inherently notable, and the machete attack from which his connection to the media comes from isn't either.

  • Delete per nom. Simione001 (talk) 09:34, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. The claims to notability are dubious at best, and cannot be verified. He is perhaps a top shelf self-promoter (a career in property development no doubt beckons), but not much else. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:49, 7 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 16:05, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There are now even doubts about his community work as per here. This is seeming more and more like he has done the self promotion and is only now getting caught out. NZFC(talk) 22:26, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: It appears that the Australian sporting (Football) media had sussed him out a long long time ago, but those who saw him as a source or expert for the Sudanese community did not do any basic fact checking regarding either his sporting or community work. Can anyone think of any specific pages where he might fit as a sub-section on hoaxes, fraudsters, or for journalists being duped by such? Would this exposure lead to him coming 360 degrees back around to notability stemming from that? (with suitably rewritten articles) Macktheknifeau (talk) 07:23, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I was actually wondering that too with now the amount he is getting written about are we back to meeting WP:GNG because of the machete attack (which does appear to be true) and the getting caught out lying in multiple places. NZFC(talk) 07:31, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment. We can have articles about hoaxes per WP:NHOAX, but is this really a notable hoax? Nelly Yoa is no Piltdown Man... Jack N. Stock (talk) 23:15, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • Comment, I was starting to wonder about whether the amount of coverage questioning Yoa's story might actually push him past the GNG. I think it's still a WP:BLP1E case though. It's strange though, he's hardly the first young man to embellish his exploits in life and get busted, but it seems if you're white you don't get the same attention in the papers as Yoa has. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:23, 8 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
            • Comment. Whatever the reason, I'm looking at the many reports from major news sources: Huffington Post, Herald Sun, SBS, News.com.au, front page on The Age... He passes WP:GNG, but this is already a dead issue, and you are correct that WP:BLP1E applies. I think someone should WP:SNOWCLOSE. Jack N. Stock (talk) 01:20, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Cavalryman V31 (talk) 01:01, 9 January 2018 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep. I'd suggest re-having this discussion after the coverage on the subject has died down per WP:RAPID. It's simply too early to be having the argument as to whether he has lasting notability in relation to this latest "web of lies" stuff or not, even when considering WP:NOTNEWS. The subject has received significant ongoing coverage even since the article was AfDed. Looking at coverage of him across the last two years, it's arguable that he now has had significant, independent coverage. WP:BLP1E certainly doesn't apply given he's been covered in the Mail Online and the Leader about machete attacks in August 2016, the Ballarat Courier about the birth of his child and friendship with Usain Bolt in November 2016, Media Watch about the Daily Mail connecting him with Apex in February 2017, and stories in various Leader papers in the February, March and April of 2017. 10+ straight days of major news coverage might support a view that the GNG has been met when looked at with hindsight, especially given how the current coverage relates to the public profile he's built for himself over past coverage. If article quality is the issue, maybe draftifying the article could be the way to go. Kb.au (talk) 14:30, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete News articles are now appearing to discredit him. Herald Sun Fox Sports SBS One includes admissions from him that there was some story fabrication, yet he also blames the press for some the lies. He appears to misinterpret interactions with famous people as being intimate and personal. veeblefetzer (talk) 11:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The additional sources provide an argument to keep per WP:GNG and by helping to resolve the WP:BLP issues. Jack N. Stock (talk) 12:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I agree with the position on WP:GNG. However, if you remove the falsehoods about this person from the view of him, his life becomes more like many others with the exception of being attacked with a machete. There are literally millions of humans contributing to community organizations and playing sport at a semi professional level. I supposed if the article was to details his fraudulent claims then I guess that would be worth reading. veeblefetzer (talk) 22:06, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The GNG is a test which relates to how significantly something is covered in reliable independent sources. It isn't a moral judgement on the importance of someone's career. Kb.au (talk) 22:12, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I said I agreed on the GNG. My point is that his life isn't much different than most others. Do we make a page for every human on the planet? veeblefetzer (talk) 22:54, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Nelly Yoa has stated his recent claims are false. Wikipedia must not keep a page based on lies and unverified information. (malusilvap) 10:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Well there ya have it. The creator of the page wants it terminated. That's got to say something. veeblefetzer (talk) 22:10, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Discussions on Wikipedia are determined by community consensus. The creator's viewpoint is no more important than anybody elses view. Kb.au (talk) 22:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
