Non-notable YouTuber with relatively low subscriber count. I found two articles on the channel (1, 2), but they are from somewhat less than reliable sources (one of them politically partisan) and they do not amount to notable coverage. Pokajanje (talk) 23:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Subscriber/view count has no bearing on notability except insofar as it enables people to see the videos, which leads to significant coverage in RS. New York Magazine is a reliable source. Regarding Current Affairs, partisan does not mean non-trustworthy ("reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective"), particularly for a topic like this. Reviewing/profiling a creator online is non-controversial and nothing like giving an interpretation of a politically-charged current event. Readers can disagree with their glowing review, but it doesn't make the channel any less notable. If perceived bias is the issue, we can even append "left-wing magazine Current Affairs ..." in the text of the article. Moreover, neither one of these sources are passing mentions; they are both in-depth profiles (enough detail that nothing in the article comes from the videos themselves, all from secondaries). There ARE plenty of passing mentions in other sources, but these are not what notability hangs on, anyway.--MattMauler (talk) 01:22, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for reasons stated above. --Pfhorrest (talk) 01:51, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as ContraPoints has become a point of reference for online discussions on politics across the political spectrum, especially among young people and internet aficionados, no matter one's personal opinion on the content. As a disclaimer I need to mention that I authored a similar article on Mike Stuchbery who performs a similar function in public discourse. It was immediately a target of "new accounts" which edited troll content in and upvoted a deletion request like this one. This article should stay, but as with my article on Stuchbery, any serious Wikipedian who sees neutrality issues should of course be able to edit it. VividImpression (talk) 11:51, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As Matt stated, being reliable doesn't mean being neutral. We seem to have enough reliable secondary sources to satisfy the general guidelines. Alexander Levian (talk) 22:28, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Further supporting my !vote above: I added one source to the article, since discussion began, from the LGBT magazine Out Front: [1] The article is not as long or in-depth as the others above, but the magazine has been around since the 1970s and releases both print and digital editions, so I thought it might have implications for notability as well. Secondly, I wanted to note that the New York Magazine article linked above is by Jesse Singal, who has written for The Atlantic and Newsweek. With his cred and the magazine's, it doesn't make sense to dismiss the ref as "less than reliable."--MattMauler (talk) 22:27, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Bit of a mess here, but it seems that the topic doesn't meet GNG anyways. I moved it to draft first before deleting because I wasn't thinking straight, just in case anyone's wondering what happened. ansh666 07:14, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Microstructurally Stable Copper and 10% Atomic Tantalum Nanocrystalline Alloy[edit]

Microstructurally Stable Copper and 10% Atomic Tantalum Nanocrystalline Alloy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't believe this article meets WP:GNG, as it is a highly-specific topic. This could be covered more broadly in an article on nanocrystalline copper alloys or nanocrystalline alloys. Additionally, this one particular alloy appears to have been developed by K. Darling, and many of the subsequent sources are also by him, and "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." Additionally, the Weertman source does not appear to refer to this specific alloy. Enwebb (talk) 21:57, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Move back to draft space. This is a bit mystifying; looking at the history, it looks like this was a declined draft, and I'm not following from the logs how it ended up in mainspace. All of the sources are first-party. The creator, User:Annafarrell 2, has created a few similar articles. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:09, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    There was a declined draft that was merged into this article. For some reason this only shows in the logs of the source article, not the target, and there is no indication what the source was. Here is the log entry. Bradv 22:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @TheSandDoctor: can you explain why you merged this into mainspace? -- RoySmith (talk) 23:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know why merging was required because the only contributor to the draft also created this article and therefore attribution was fine, but I assume it was merged into mainspace because that's where the article was created, and then the original draft was history merged. Natureium (talk) 01:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @RoySmith: Sorry for the delay (just got off work), that is why the history was merged (cc Natureium). I just forgot to move it back to the draft namespace after the merge. I am still open to doing that, only issue is that this is now nominated. --TheSandDoctor Talk 04:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone thank you for your input- I am the author of this piece and hopefully can clear up some of the concerns. Initially I tried to publish this post with the title of purely "Microstructurally Stable Nanocrystalline Alloys" with the hopes that as more research develops covering these impressive molecules it can add on. However, as I have only published a few pieces it underwent review and the criticism was that the title was too generic. So the draft was indeed deleted. It was recommended to me by my community of Wikipedia writers that the article be titled more specifically with the components and that it could perhaps be linked to later if desired. Source one was the initial publication as naturally that was what I was writing on. Sources 2 and 3 however are not written by those involved in the research. Source 2 is a piece written by Bob Yirka for Phys.org (a journal with an impact factor of over 8) who was not one of the scientists participating in the topic concerned. He has no affiliation with the U.S. Army so far as I can tell. Source 3 is written by Julie Weertman (also not involved in the research) from Northwestern. This source is more specifically about creep resistance and nanocrystals generally. Thank you very much for your comments! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annafarrell 2 (talk • contribs) 22:22, July 24, 2018 (UTC)

  • Comment Additionally, it should be noted that the creator has a paid COI, as acknowledged on their user page, regarding this topic. Enwebb (talk) 22:28, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • When I came across this earlier today I wasn't sure what to do with it. It didn't qualify for moving to draftspace, clearly needs a new title ("Microstructurally stable copper-tantalum nanocrystalline alloy" was suggested by Bradv), wasn't quite notable based on the sources, but wasn't terrible. I think the best thing for this is for the creator to develop it into a broader article that includes other similar materials that can be a topic that satisfies notability criteria. Natureium (talk) 01:11, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify back to the broader topic. I agree with the nominator that this alloy on its own probably doesn't pass WP:GNG, but the broader topic Draft:Microstructurally stable nanocrystalline alloy has a decent shot at becoming an article. Either way, this probably should not be deleted at this juncture. Bradv 03:01, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Based on the update below, a new article Microstructurally stable nanocrystalline alloys has been created, so this should now be deleted. Bradv 20:31, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again: I have noted your comments and made a new page that is hopefully broader and more accommodating for other users' contributions. I am happy to discuss further the quality and variety of my sources- if you notice all cited sources, except the primary publication, in this piece have no affiliation with the army, are not by the primary researchers, and are reporting from institutions with high standards and publications with credible impact factors. I was able to find other nanocrystalline alloys and wrote down a line or two of the results claimed by the researchers as a starting point for the rest of the community. I suppose I will leave this here to see which page people prefer to preserve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstructurally_stable_nanocrystalline_alloys — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annafarrell 2 (talk • contribs) 13:50, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh. I realize you're just trying to be helpful, and probably aren't familiar with all of our policies, but this was not a good idea. What you've got there is a WP:FORK. The best thing would be to delete Microstructurally stable nanocrystalline alloys, and continue the conversation here about what should be done with Microstructurally Stable Copper and 10% Atomic Tantalum Nanocrystalline Alloy. You can propose that you'll re-write the text to cover a broader topic, and/or move it to a different title. And then people can discuss that and decide if that's the right thing. But, creating a fork in the middle of a discussion, just leads to confusion. -- RoySmith (talk) 20:38, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@RoySmith: There's no reason to stop editing just because of an AfD. To be completely fair, Annafarrell 2 has received a lot of conflicting advice, and this particular AfD is a comedy of errors. This edit actually clears things up — the article that this AfD is about can be closed as delete or redirect, and the new article can be reviewed separately. Bradv 20:56, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course there's no reason to stop editing. My apologies if I gave that impression. What I was objecting to was the forking of the article. People edit articles that are the subject of AfDs all the time. But, yeah, I agree this AfD is silly. Based on what User:TheSandDoctor said above, it's only by accident that this is even in mainspace at all. We should just move it back to draft space, then it can be worked on, edited, renamed, etc, etc, for however long it takes. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:14, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article was PRODed by me a couple days ago on concerns the subjecct fails WP:GNG and WP:CRIME. The tag was removed by an editor claiming that the subject's usage of the Homosexual panic defense and appeal makes van Hook notable. While the article has been improved and references added since the time of the PROD, the issue of the article failing WP:GNG and WP:CRIME (and perhaps WP:BIO1E) remain Inter&anthro (talk) 21:46, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment WP:CRIME I can see going either way, but don't the current sources cover WP:GNG as significant coverage in national media? Also, per our article, he's the only person executed in Ohio this year, one of four in the last five years, which might suggest that his was a more notable crime than most. On WP:BIO1E, the idea is that if someone is known for one event, they should probably be merged into that event's article. Since there isn't an article for the murder separate from this biography, I don't think it applies. Mortee (talk) 23:26, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The murder attracted little attention in 1985. The subject's notoriety is therefore derived from his recent execution. WP:ONEEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. The execution is reported appropriately at List of offenders executed in the United States in 2018. WWGB (talk) 23:33, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, he was executed in 2018. here is coverage from 2017, here he's "getting engaged" in 2016, here is the Supreme Court ruling on the case in 2009... the coverage in 1985 is harder to assess, being pre-internet and now drowned out. List of offenders executed in the United States in 2018 has no information about the crime or the victim, only the criminal's name and stats. Still no vote for now, but I'd like more clarity on the nominator's position. Mortee (talk) 00:33, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Mortee: The subject of this article does not pass WP:CRIME as neither the murder he partook in, the victim, or his death have been covered in anything that passes WP:ROUTINE. The fact that the Homosexual panic defense was used in his trial is not notable in itself as there are plenty of people who have used it as an excuse. Neither is the fact that he is the first individual to be executed in Ohio this year, in fact taking a look ahead there are quite a few people from Ohio who are scheduled to be executed. Of the sources you provided in the above comment the first is routine news which surrounds the appeal process of every convict who is scheduled to be executed, the second source comes from a tabloid and is also not notable as it is not unheard of for inmates to get engaged, and the third source falls under WP:PRIMARY. All three sources can certainly be added to the article, but the underlining issue is this is a criminal whose crime and life have not revived any indebted coverage. If said coverage of his crime or execution can be provided than I will gladly withdraw my nomination. Inter&anthro (talk) 01:16, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of offenders executed in the United States in 2018. He's notable only for one event, doesn't pass WP:GNG. But plausible search term for redirect. Joseph2302 (talk) 12:57, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This list article is mostly WP:OR and fancruft, and has become bloated with massive amounts of non-notable trivia. It should be deleted, as it lacks sufficient references. I have created a basic article for the topic of fictional swords called Swords in fiction, which should function as a replacement that can be more properly soured.

  • Keep The page in question has existed for about 14 years. It is high traffic and so has had hundreds of thousands of readers. The nominator clearly admits that the topic is valid as he has just written a content fork. The new page is inferior to the long-standing page and so, per WP:REDUNDANTFORK, "the more recent article should be merged back into the main article". Andrew D. (talk) 23:01, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:ARTICLEAGE refutes your point about the article being 14 years old. To cite the section, "The article may have achieved its age either because its lack of notability was not discovered until recently, or because the collective interpretation of our inclusion criteria has evolved." It's clearly the latter rather than the former. Large amounts of fancruft was thought to be fine a decade ago but now the criteria have become more strict and the article should have some actual substance. There is very little in the list article that describes swords' usage in fiction, and it is merely a laundry list of various names and trivia.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 01:25, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Swords in fiction. Agree with OP. Any information in the list that might not be OR or fancruft can be preserved in the page history and merged to the new article. The more valid title for this article is the newer one, and Andrew's argument that it is a redundant content fork actually applies more to the older page, not the newer one. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 23:15, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note In its original form the list served as a navigational tool linking articles on fictional swords that existed back in the days when Wikipedia welcomed such articles, but at present almost none of those articles remain. Furthermore, ever since that date fourteen years ago the page has incorrectly characterized legendary/mythical swords as "fictional". WP:TNT would seem to apply here, but very selective merging into Swords in fiction would work. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 04:27, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And FTR: the large number of previous nominations is a bit misleading: the first one, in 2008, should not count, as it ended in procedural keep and immediate renomination; the "second" was no consensus; the "third" in 2011 ended in "keep", but the majority of arguments were clearly flawed, based on the supposed possibility of cutting the cruft and properly maintaining the article, but this has clearly not been done in the seven years since, and a number of them were actually more equivalent to my !vote here. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 23:22, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't be averse to a histmerge or a merge of the new article onto the old one, speedy deletion of the new one, and a move of the old one to the new title, just to preserve the page history. Either way the majority of the content of the old article has to go, and the list should not be more than, say, half the length of the "final" article. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 11:22, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clarify inclusion criteria. This gathers together a lot of useful and interesting information, including multiple blue-linked swords. A deletion or a redirect without merge would remove a lot of valuable content, especially given the current state of Swords in fiction, which was started yesterday, by the nominator, and covers very little of this so far. In any case, Swords in fiction, which is a valuable page to write, is better reserved for broad tropes and symbolism with illustrative examples. List of fictional swords should be kept more expansive. The "fancruft" can be dealt with by restricting to swords explicitly mentioned in secondary sources or some similar tightening of the inclusion criteria. Mortee (talk) 23:49, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Said argument has been made before, specifically in the last AfD nomination back in 2011 and the page hasn't been improved since then despite plenty of people jumping on the bandwagon of "this can be maintained" and "this has potential". I don't think it holds much water after 7 years of people ignoring it. The page would also have to be completely rewritten regardless, as the sourcing is next to nil. Most of the so-called blue linked articles are just links to subsections, not actual independently notable pages.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 00:27, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mortee: I'm curious what you mean by "blue-linked swords"; almost all of them are redirects, either to articles on the fictional works in which they appear or to other lists (in which the same names as in this list, and little else, appear) or to completely unrelated articles (the entries under Malazan Book of the Fallen are the worst offenders). Several of them link to articles on books that are named for the swords in question, which is not the same as having blue links to articles on the swords themselves. The vorpal sword article begins "Vorpal sword" and "vorpal blade" are phrases used by Lewis Carroll in his nonsense poem "Jabberwocky", which is telling. All of the Tolkien ones are linked, but of them all but one (Sting (Middle-earth)) redirect to another list, and two of them (Barrow-blade and Lhang) don't even link to entries in said list. "Shikomizue" is not the name of a fictional sword but rather a simple Japanese word that describes walking stick with a blade hidden inside.[2] Excalibur, which is linked either directly or through its several redirects (Caliburn, Caledfwlch, etc.) probably close to a dozen times throughout the list (making it alone account apparently for around 90% of the entries in the list that link to whole articles about swords), is not actually a "fictional" sword by conventional logic; it's a "legendary" or "mythical" sword, and its inclusion is apparently based on the idea that it "probably doesn't exist", which is not a useful definition and not one used by reliable sources; lots of Japanese fiction mentions the Kusanagi, which is just as "legendary" as Excalibur, with the one difference being that there is a sword (or, rather, have historically been several swords) "officially" considered to be the "real" Kusanagi, and so it doesn't fall into that murky category of "probably doesn't exist". Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 01:03, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my view, the right eventual structure is 1) an article about discussing history, tropes, symbolism etc, i.e. Swords in fiction (I'd be delighted to help write that) plus 2) a more thorough overview of noteworthy cases than would likely fit there, i.e. List of fictional swords. Not every item in a list has to have a standalone article (e.g. WP:LISTCOMPANY); merging into a list is a recognised alternative to deletion. Enough of these are discussed in other articles, some with dedicated subsections, that gathering them together is useful, leaving aside the question of which others deserve mention, and would only serve to overbalance the new article, which at present is not a suitable target for redirection either way. I don't believe the current page is worse than no list at all and, per Andrew D., it's popular with readers. There's work to do and the inclusion criteria could be tightened to reduce bloat, but deleting would be detrimental. Re: "fictional" vs "mythical", see List of mythological objects § Swords, again rightly a mix of bluelinks and not, in an article tagged as needing to be split for length. Mortee (talk) 01:59, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep But clarify, per Mortee's well-presented arguments above. Deletion is not cleanup, and there is lots of good information in the article. It does need some cleanup and tighter sourcing, but it's not beyond fixing. PohranicniStraze (talk) 03:13, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. As with Flack-Council-Coleman Reunion, I can't find anything to suggest this belongs in Wikipedia, since we require anything included here to be covered elsewhere first. One of the articles is a family-provided notice in a local paper. The other discusses some members of the Baird family, but not the reunion. The talk page response is mostly about the issue of systemic bias very broadly, and doesn't help to address the issue of verifiability for the article, or lack of coverage of the specific topic in hand. Perhaps an article about black family reunions more broadly would be more sustainable. Mortee (talk) 00:57, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article PRODed with reason "Drummed-up biography, with some name-dropping, but no indication that this meets WP:ACADEMIC." Article dePRODed without reason given by editor since blocked as a troll. Claims in article not substantiated. I don't have access to every reference given, but those that I could check don't even mention Ditsworth (ref. 1, 7, 9, 11, 13. 14-16 are by Ditsworth himself). Google and GScholar searches did not render anything else. Ref 2 seems to be the only substantial source, but reads like an advertorial to me. PROD reason therefore still stands, hence: delete.

  • Comment: Can you tell us which part of the sourcing is substantial?

And that is the problem for me, there are a lot of sources I cannot access. So I am seeing some vert limited coverage from the sources I can access and (what about half) I cannot. Thus there maybe some notability here. I can neither confirm it or conform a lack of it.Slatersteven (talk) 13:04, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is indeed unfortunate that there are sources that we cannot access. However, the fact that among the sources that we can acess only one actually mentions Ditsworth (apart, of course, from those that he published himself) does not make me very confident that the inaccessible sources are any different. Pinging Doc James, who perhaps has access to the other sources. As an aside, much is made in the article of the fact that Ditsworth is cited by Gun Choi (whose biography was created by the same person who created this one), "president "in fact, secretary general) of the grandiose sounding "World Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery and Techniques", which, in fact, gas just 51 members... --Randykitty (talk) 13:45, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Now, before you complain that some of the sources are partisan, you should read WP:BIASED which explicitly permits partisan sources. Editors !voting here must follow WP:BIASED and not disqualify sources because of a preconceived notion that they are biased. – Lionel(talk) 21:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - So firstly, WP:BIASED requires several things, which need to be demonstrated for them to remain acceptable sources, such as confirming that suitable editorial control/fact-checking is in place, and a demonstration that the source is reliable in this specific context. To give a run through the sources,
  • 1) Fails intellectually independent as once Lankford's content (both direct and indirect) is withdrawn there is almost nothing left, let alone Sig Cov.
  • 2) Fails "reliable in this particular case" - not only is there a general bias but he has a direct interest in encouraging a particular view, and control is limited as it's an op ed piece, he isn't a staff writer.
  • 4) Specifically renounces control of the content at the bottom
  • 5) While obviously normally an acceptable news source, it again is an opinion piece, the article was not provided by a journalist and thus there was not editorial control & fact checking.
  • Source 3 (Deseret) I've left till last, since it's not clear what the situation is. BIASED imposes an obligation to be able to justify the sources, it also is a distinctly tenuous fragment of a guideline that needs to be on extremely firm grounds to override the standard policy covering RS.

Wall Street Journal: [https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-to-fix-the-johnson-amendment-1486686394 "How to Fix the Johnson Amendment; The IRS has created a chilling effect on some religious speech. Time for a thaw." text excerpt: "President Trump promised last week that he would “totally destroy” the Johnson Amendment, a 1954 provision of the tax code that allows the Internal Revenue Service to police the speech of churches and other nonprofits. But Congress doesn’t have to repeal the amendment to make good on Mr. Trump’s pledge. The Free Speech Fairness Act, introduced in the House and Senate the day before the president made his remarks, fixes the law’s constitutional problems." And do note that Philip Hamburger has a new book out on the Johnson Amendment: Liberal Suppression: Section 501(c)(3) and the Taxation of Speech, University of Chicago Press (2018). The Johnson Amendment is a hot issue at the moment, and this Bill is about the leading proposal to reverse it.

Again, as WP:NEWSORG says, "Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (op-eds) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact".

Non-notable recently established NGO that is using Wikipedia as a means of publicity. Attracted my attention due to recent addition as a "see also" link to irrelevant articles. The organisation itself has no proper coverage in independent, reliable sources - the five sources in the article are either non-independent (the organisation itself, records of its registration in the UK and Cyprus), briefly mention it in the passing or entirely irrelevant. The content itself has a heavy POV and reads very much like an advertorial ("It took the world’s attention..."). Seems like an attempt to establish self-importance by a fringe movement.

I do not think there is a rule about "recently established organisations" in Wikipedia policies. And please clarify what do you mean about "non-independent" since there is a coverage from international magazine in the article. There are a lot of article about the organisation in Europe and Cypriot press. For example, here is a article[1] from a Cypriot news agency about organisation when its invited to general assembly of European Free Alliance, one of the major political party in European Parliament. And it indicates that they are the only organisation from Cyprus invited to the assembly to talk about political situation of Cyprus as well as the attacks happened against Afrika (newspaper). That is normal that Turkish nationalist Wikipedia users or editors will not be happy see this organisation exist and they will try to vandalise the article. But it does not change the fact that this is a known organisation and there will be more article about it since it has a representation in institutions like European Parliament. So that can be better to improve the article instead of deleting because second option looks more like vandalism. best Pasedembo (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be clear, this article was not nominated for deletion because it's a recently established organisation (that bit only strengthens my point that this is self-promotion), it was nominated because it does not meet WP:ORGCRIT, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The magazine in the article does not have significant coverage of the subject, it only mentions it in the passing. I had not seen the source that you have provided now, it seems to be based on a statement made by a WUTC representative ("WUTC temsilcisi konuyla ilgili yapıtığı açıklamada" = "the WUTC representative, in his/her statement on the subject..."), which means it is not independent. In any case, this is only a single source, multiple sources are needed, which I have been unable to find. Your aggressive labelling of me only serves to strengthen the idea that the article was written with ideological, not encyclopaedic, concerns in mind. And your claim that this organisation has "representation in the European Parliament" is outright misleading. --GGT (talk) 22:55, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Now it is really not clear why this article was nominated for deletion. Because your arguments were based on few things which is not part of WP:ORGCRIT. Lets have a look at them again here. You words "Non-notable" and "fringe movement" is clearly POV. Wikipedia policies do not allow its editors to delete articles because they think that something is "fringe". And an organisation who has recognition from European Parliament probably makes them notable enough. Also you clearly wrote that "recently established" word which now you are saying that you didn't nominated article because of this reason. Fair enough. But all arguments that you made for the nomination is based on these two POV. There are significant coverage in multiple reliable sources about the organisation and I shared examples. There is only one sentence about "the statement of WUTC representative" and rest of the article is a news report from very respected Cypriot news agency. Many people who will read these entry do not know Turkish, so lets do not manipulate the sources when we share them. I am not gonna get involved in your accusation about "me labelling you". There is not a single letter I wrote is about personally you. So please shows the part that I am labelling you personally about something because now you are accusing me and attacking personally to me. In the end I am repeating that deleting this article will be vandalism and politically oriented because this well-known organisation has coverage enough to suit with the Wikipedia policies. The correct thing will be to improve it. best Pasedembo (talk) 06:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The point is, as that article explained reasonably well, if floridly, is that the 200 and 400 are pretty much the same car. The article might be clearer if trimmed and renamed to something like the Rover R8 platform. This was a highly significant design in Rover's history. It was sometimes seen as "the first non-crap Rover in decades".
Should the Mark I and 416 sections be in here? Probably not. They have no relevance to the R8, and it's the R8 which is the notable part of this, and why the article title conflates the two model numbers.
"Platforms" in the US sense, weren't common in the UK at this time. We either developed unique cars, duplicating the same market sector betwen different factories and marques (BL, I mean you), or else did feeble badge engineering by thinking that swapping the radiator badge and the type of wood in the dashboard veneer fooled anyone. The R8 though was a brave (and successful) attempt to make a reliable Rover by developing a single platform, then using it across the range, even when there were differing numbers of doors and windows on top of it.
WP, in its usual ignorance, has instead split this article into two as Rover 200 / 25 and Rover 400 / 45. Which is easier to write if you're not even in the UK and just watching Top Gear, but it makes no sense for the engineering development of the R8, or the commercial history of Rover's recovery in the '90s.

  • I don't think Google Maps is a reliable source (required by WP:NPLACE), since it uses user-generated content. Anyone can add a missing place right now, and Google Map Maker opened up even more editing capabilities to the public prior to March 2017. — Newslinger talk 11:47, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think so either, but Google Street View could be, and there's a photo of the name of the village. A little bit WP:OR, but since Wikipedia's also a gazzeteer, I don't think it's a problem in this instance, especially where local sources may be difficult to find. SportingFlyer talk 16:00, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm willing to vote keep if there's a Street View (or equivalent) picture with the name of the village at that location. But, it looks like Street View isn't available there. Google only shows me a single photo uploaded by a user in August 2016. (The photo appears to be watermarked with the user's name in the lower right.) — Newslinger talk 22:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    You're right - on closer look it's not even clear that photo isn't photoshopped. SportingFlyer talk 04:18, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I took another look at the photo, and the watermarked name is the same as the username of the article creator (Faisal mushtaq (talk · contribs)). The only piece of supporting evidence for this village's existence is a photo uploaded to Google Maps by the article creator himself. — Newslinger talk 08:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete a possibly prolific but non-notable actress; minor roles do not encyclopedic notability make. For this reason I feel the subject does not meet WP:NACTOR, as reliable sources have not been cited that deem her contributions to acting innovative or significant, and while coverage does exist it is mostly concerned with films the subject had a role in and not about Leucas herself, so even GNG could be failed if one wished to push the issue. It should also be noted that (per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sathish1127) the article was created by a now-blocked editor as part of a paid editing sockfarm, which while not explicitly a reason for deletion should be noted.--SamHolt6 (talk) 23:49, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sister of a famous blogger and married to an ex soccer player, per WP:NOTINHERITED that does not make her notable. I have known Laura for close to a decade and one thing is that she always pushes herself to be in the news, however, I can't seem to place my hand on what makes her notable for Wikipedia. As an actress, she fails WP:NACTOR, as an entreprenuer, she fails WP:NOTABILITY (people). The abysmal net worth in the infobox is not only laughable but very incorrect. Her sister's wealth is not her wealth. This well-written article was created by a "new editor", but the state of an article is not a reason to keep an article, what matters is passing the notability guidelines.

  • Keep The article meet WP:GNG as we all know, she also meet WP:CELEBRITY criteria 2 which stated having a large fanbase following. She's verified on Instagram with over 968k followers, almost a million following. She meet WP:ANYBIO being honored by ECOWAS and also for her to be listed on YNaija magazine on a list to celebrate African women means she has contributed to her field. Also note if she hasn't contributed to her field she wouldn't be a brand ambassador of any of the brand most importantly "PayPorte".. Just like it is stated by Wikipedia, a person only establish notability by meeting at least one of it guideline but here I don't see her meeting one or two but three. Also sorry to say you keep saying this "New Editor" like it not possible for someone to make research before doing something, I have watched YouTube videos, read articles online and I understand how Wikipedia work's so please stop using the word "New Editor" as a means of kicking my article's into nomination like you did before HandsomeBoy.. Thank you. --Timi422 (talk) 05:57, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  1. If you get a reliable source that speaks about her having a cult following, that will give better credence to your argument. Social media following has never been a valuable argument for assessing notability. There are numerous individuals and organizations with one million followers on IG that are not notable, besides people buy likes and followers on IG.
  2. ECOWAS, AU, UN honour people regularly, that is not a big deal. Most actressess, singers, humanitarian, etc are UN Youth ambassadors.
  3. Please be careful not to mislead readers of Wikipedia by using sources that does not substantiate a statement. Wikipedia is serious business. I went through this source and didn't see anything that said she was one of 50 incredible women women in Africa by Ynaija as stated in the article. And even if she was listed in their countdown - I go through YNaija countdown list regularly, and less than 50% are usually notable for Wikipedia. The online blog can only solidify notability, not confer it. In terms of media houses in Nigeria, they are not even a top media site so their ranking can't be held in high standards.
  4. Being a brand ambasandor means nothing, my friend was a Google ambassador at my university, and Google is even bigger than Payporte yet he is not notable.
  5. Your articles were nominated because I didn't think they met the notability guidelines. Period.

Most actressess, singers, humanitarian, etc are UN Youth ambassadors" are you also trying to say also meeting WP:ANYBIO doesn't count. This wasn't my write up but it is stated in the guideline whereby an article meet at least 1 of it criteria but here am seeing two. Let me give chance to other editor to contribute then I see thing's from their point of view. --Timi422 (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
She likes to be in the news for trivial info such as "Laura Ikeji flaunts a new Gucci bag", "Laura Ikeji thinks all Nigerian men are after sex", etc. GNG is interested non-trivial significant in-depth independent coverage, such as an essay on the Punch titled "The entrepreneurial drive of Laura Ikeji" or "How Laura Ikeji is redefining fashion through blogging" on Guardian. What I mean is the process to becoming an ECOWAS youth ambassador is not one that is very thorough by WP standards. Besides, I just went through the source and she was not chosen as an ambassador neither was she honored directly by ECOWAS, rather it was just a female association attached to ECOWAS ie ECOFEPA that honoured her and some other persons. HandsomeBoy (talk) 12:43, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note I made a clear statement "The ECOWAS Female Parliamentarians Association (ECOFEPA) on Monday, May 21, 2018 in Abuja, honour" it even written on her article Laura Ikeji. I never said ECOWAS honor her rather I said a body attached to ECOWAS which is a subsidairy of ECOWAS. Also this are example of WP:GNG Vanguard.--Timi422 (talk) 13:42, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree with power that the term seems ill-defined, although this blog post cleared it up a bit for me. I did some searching and was unable to find that many people (i.e. SIGCOV) talking about this term itself (as opposed to just using it), which by NEO means we shouldn't have an article on this term yet. Enterprisey (talk!) 03:08, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:NEO due to low usage per Google Trends. The article describes OpenID and CardSpace as two technologies in the "Identity 2.0" category that are "on the rise" and expected to hit mainstream adoption between 2009-2012 (2007 plus 2-5 years). This Google Trends comparison, which has a time range from when this article was created to today, shows that the term "Identity 2.0" was never significantly used even when OpenID and CardSpace were at their peaks. — Newslinger talk 13:40, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I tried in earnest to improve the article, but the coverage is very shallow and mostly occurred during promotion of the film at Cannes.

the nom appears to misunderstand WP:PROMOTION Since I made no reference whatsoever to WP:PROMOTION, it's kind of hard to see how I "misunderstand it". But looking at it now, I see applies completely, gaslighting by you and Lionelt notwithstanding: Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion: Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. Lionelt's talk of the article getting 17 million eyeballs obviously has nothing to do with promoting Wikipedia in general -- not unless he's claiming that the existence of this article will cause a spike of 17 million readers rushing to read it. --Calton | Talk 14:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Hzh: Could you point out some examples of significant coverage? I couldn't find much of anything.- MrX 🖋 16:26, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There are already some given in the article e.g. [8], there are sources that talk about the film, most often discussed in relation to Steve Bannon - [9][10][11][12], not to mention those from Christian sites [13][14][15].

  • Keep: the article clearly demonstrates significant coverage in reliable sources. Passes WP:GNG. This article is a stub meaning it is a prime candidate for expansion. Agree with other editors, nominator appears to have a misunderstanding of WP:PROMOTION. Wikipedia has a critical new editor retention problem. Encouraging new editors to participate in DYK is a strategy of engagement--not promotion. I'm trying to assume good faith, but the ad hominem comments by nominator display a certain personal animus. – Lionel(talk) 19:24, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well you wording seem to imply that "he best part is if you get an article to 1500 chars you can get the article advertised on the Main page and in front of 17 million eyeballs" [bold added for emphasis]--Tyw7  (🗣️ Talk • ✍️ Contributions) Please ping me if you had replied 19:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The raison d'être for DYK is promotion. Whether you call it showcasing, highlighting or even advertising, it's just semanics. From WP:DYKAIM: DYK aims to achieve the following five goals:
1. To showcase new and improved content...
2. To highlight the variety of information...
4. ... contributing to editor retention
Bolding from original except #4. I repeat: there is a basic misunderstanding or WP:PROMOTION. – Lionel(talk) 23:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, I understand it quite well, thank you. Your talk of this article getting 17 million eyeballs obviously has nothing to do with promoting Wikipedia as a whole -- not unless you're claiming that the existence of this article will cause a spike of 17 million readers rushing to read it.

  • Merge to Steve Bannon. The sources are reporting Steve Bannon and Phil Robertson rather than talking at any length about the film.

  • Redirect to Steven Bannon. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NF. The Hollywood Reporter is the best source cited by the article, but its coverage isn't significant. The other sources just offer passing mentions. Here's my analysis of Hzh's sources:
    1. The Hollywood Reporter (different source than cited in article): Insignificant coverage of film itself
    2. Sight & Sound: OK. Author is "Celluloid Liberation Front," which is a bit questionable
    3. NewsOK (Associated Press): Passing mentions
    4. NPR: Insignificant coverage of the film itself
    5. Keith Koffler: Passing mention. OK. Not a reliable source. The author Keith Koffler operates a site called "White House Dossier," which Koffler describes as an attempt to "try to do some of the traditional accountability that journalism stands for." His authored articles on Google News are primarily opinion pieces. There are 2 books on Amazon with his name on it: the first one is The Obama Scandals: The 22 Worst Outrages of the Obama Administration, and the second one is Bannon: Always the Rebel (this book). It doesn't look like this book would be any more reliable than Breitbart News.
    6. Christian Today: Insignificant coverage. Not a reliable source. Footer copyright is 2017.
    7. The Christian Times: Not a reliable source. Footer copyright is 2016.
    8. CNSNews.com: Not a reliable source. The parent organization, Media Research Center, states that their mission is to "expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left."
    9. The Independent: Passing mention
    10. The Washington Post: Passing mentions
— Newslinger talk 20:37, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Heavens! The book actually gives quite a lengthy passage of many paragraphs on the film. I wonder what you consider to be not passing mention. Significant coverage does not require the subject to be the main topic of any source. Hzh (talk) 22:01, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Article is well-sourced and meets WP:NFILM. There's nothing wrong with encouraging others to improve an article so it can be posted on the main page -- not only do several uninvolved editors look over those nominations before they're approved, but getting an article on the main page is sort of the point of improving articles, as it is the community recognizing the work put into improving it. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:27, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep enough independent coverage to establish WP:GNG. Redirect is not going to be helpful. Orientls (talk) 13:16, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, the coverage in Politico Magazine and Sight & Sound is enough to satisfy WP:GNG. These 2 articles each cover multiple films by Bannon, but they offer enough detail on this particular release to meet WP:NFSOURCES even though a substantial portion of the analysis is directed toward all of the films as a set. WP:SIGCOV states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." — Newslinger talk 15:11, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Bannon's article. I see a lot of coverage of Bannon's movies, typically covered together, and coverage of Bannon and Robertson themselves, but I don't see a lot of in-depth coverage specifically about this film apart from the general subject of Bannon's movies. I don't think it needs to be deleted, as the sources about Bannon's movies are sufficient to include in his article. Happy to reconsider pending sources specifically about this film rather than about Bannon's films collectively (and aside from passing mentions). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:43, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • The article has SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE in MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT, RELIABLE, and SECONDARY Sources.
    • The publishers had obituaries in the Guardian.

  • Keep Azme Alishan Campaign (2010 - 2013) was a nationwide social awareness campaign in Pakistan. I was able to find news coverage on this campaign by 3 major newspapers -- Dawn, The Express Tribune and The Nation (Pakistan). So I have added 8 new references to the article from them. True, the article was left unsourced to begin with. Looked to me that article title (Azme Alishan) was also incomplete. It was a 3 year campaign according to the newspapers, so I Moved page to add the word Campaign to the article title. Redid the article as best as I could. It reminds me of "Just Say No" drug awareness campaign launched by former first lady Nancy Reagan in the 1980s in the US. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete-Fails to NEVENT. Otherwise there's an automatic bias in favor of one-time events, which manages to gain a few articles during that span against events that happen consecutively every year (for a few years) and hence manages to get the same number of articles, every year at the time of happening. Thus, as I look at whether the event has been any mentioned in a significant manner post-completion of it's course or mentioned in any scholarly source/book(s), I spot nothing which emphasizes the failure of NEVENT.∯WBGconverse 11:53, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The second season is merely two months away, not 2019. We usually allow splits of season articles out one a second season is confirmed (and episodes have begun to be scheduled); by the time the seven days end, 80/20 that ABC announces the premiere date for S2, thus it would be pointless to delete this at this point.

      Comment: There is no reason to be rude. Nate: discussions does not "expire". Instead the assumption is that if nobody objects (anymore) and a discussion goes "silent", that is taken to mean "consensus by silence". In other words, if you don't agree you need to speak up - letting a matter lie is taken to mean you do not disapprove!

      • Comment Wow, I didn't expect it to read that way at all; from my experience, many editors like me don't usually deal with the talk pages because most editing items are dealt with in the article and editing history itself outside of move discussions, and we don't usually check talk because all that's there is (80% of the time rejected/blank) IP edit requests and bot notices. Apologies if this came off as brusque, but just relating my experiences that 'list of' talk pages usually don't have much activity. Nate • (chatter) 05:44, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge back to main article and delete. We do not need split articles until WP:Article length criteria are met. The fact that people from WP:WikiProject Television (in which I am a participant) keep splitting articles without due cause doesn't make it right, just a WP:CONLEVEL problem.

Just a comment, but the active WP:TV members and participants are actually pretty stern on not splitting too early. The issue of splitting early is normally due to random editors that aren't aware of Wikipedia's and WP:TV's guidelines. -- AlexTW

The WP:SPLIT table concerns "readable prose", and not the entire size of the article. I think there's a script for determining how much readable prose there is... -- AlexTW 08:38, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you find such a tool, please add it to WP:SPLIT. I think that table though should go by source size, since that is the size most important to editors and to the database storage techs. The principle and my vote stands. -- Netoholic @ 08:53, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:RPS lists two methods, one of which is XTools, which gives 9,245 bytes/characters of prose. Well under the correct interpretation of the SPLIT table; more "Length alone does not justify division". -- AlexTW 08:55, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:CHOKING gets to the heart of the matter - the size of the article for both mobile viewing and editing need to be taken into consideration. The principle stands - int two months, information about the 2nd season will start being incoroporated into this article. It is inevitable, barring some out-of-left-field cancellation, that the 2nd season will proceed. I don't understand the fighting over this. My vote stands. -- Netoholic @ 09:16, 8 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep on a combination of WP:PROFESSOR, (which she does not quite meet, but comes close,) and WP:NCRIME - which I think this article does pass. The professor who was killed, although young, had a attained degree of impact in her field that has caused her work to continue to be cited and to be revisited, most recently in a 2017 book, Educational Leadership and Music: Lessons for Tomorrow’s School Leaders,. More to the point, the crime itself was not treated as "routine," it got SUSTAINED coverage that had GEOSCOPE, in part because one of the defendants fled, but mostly just due to public outrage at the senseless behavior of stone throwing from highway overpasses that kills people.

  • Delete I proposed this for deletion when the sole reference was a self-published Geocities site. Since then several references have been added.
This sources his date of death and names of family members, so doesn't establish notability.
This references the names of several members of his family, describing him as a "renowned wrestler". This source isn't really permissible per WP:DAILYMAIL, at best it's an indication that reliable sources might exist due to how it describes him.
This doesn't even mention him.
This simply says "The family were wrestlers since 1850. The golden generation – brothers Bholu, Azam, Aslam, Akram and Goga – practiced opposite the independence monument in Lahore and behind the shrine of a famous sufi saint", so doesn't really establish notability.
This says "Umpires were Goga Pahalwan, Anwer Pahalwan and Hajinder Singh, coach of the Indian team". This is trivial coverage, and since it's a 2010 article it doesn't appear to be referring to this person who apparently died in 1981.
It's quite possible the person is notable and that reliable sources exist, particularly non-English ones, but it would have to be demonstrated that a reliably sourced article can be written. I can't really support a merge to Bholu Brothers, as at present all that can be reliably sourced is something along the lines of "Another brother, Goga, was also a professional wrestler". The Bholu Brothers article has enough problems of its own regarding sourcing without transferring the problems from this article to it. 2A02:C7D:3CAF:D900:8DA0:EBD4:4257:5B93 (talk) 10:36, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I feel that this article can be improved on, especially as the artist continues his career. However, at Wikipedia, I feel that it’s important to provide information to others that’s reliable, and, when there may not be enough elsewhere, there are appropriate circumstances to step in and be the first. To remove this article may remove an important figure from Wikipedia. I understand the concern, and reasoning for the request for deletion, however, as time goes on, and more users contribute to the article, I feel that it will resemble something that would never be considered to be deleted. Additionally, the artist has recently released his new album with 10,000 plays in the first week, which I feel should make him more notible, and eligible for a Wiki Page. Thank you for your time, and effort with the page. Mbhbchange (talk) 19:28, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not every TV program that airs on every cable TV network is notable: this one is not – no mentions at all in Variety (and I looked), which generally means program is not notable.

  • Delete Yup, you're right; we don't need to catalog every cable program ever. Yet another Biography clone for then-current NASCAR drivers that I don't doubt was produced by their media arm to fill time on Speed where an infomercial or race couldn't go, and nothing more. Nate • (chatter) 16:24, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Mrschimpf: It's like no one reads the notability guidelines before contributing to afd discussions, specifically WP:RPRGM which states "Generally, an individual radio or television program is likely to be notable if it airs on a network of radio or television stations (either national or regional in scope), or on a cable television channel with a broad regional or national audience." So yes, while they may not all be notable, nationally produced television series are probably more notable than you think, so next time it would behoove you to do the proper legwork before giving your two cents on an AFD discussion by tossing in a presumably lazy "yup".--Americanfreedom (talk) 21:03, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Um, no – Mrschimpf is correct here: WP:TVSHOW "supplements" WP:GNG, it doesn't "overwrite" it. (And, in fact, WP:TVSHOW needs a new polish from WP:TV on this point, but that's neither here nor there...) In any case, "airing nationally" does not free you from the requirements of WP:GNG, and in fact many shows that air on "national" cable networks are ultimately not notable as per GNG... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I know the policies left and right, and there is no compelling reason I see for this article to stay. It's a generic Biography show mixed with a generic NASCAR-produced show that I can easily predict never had any segment where drivers denigrated each other or their bosses regularly and was produced solely to fill time on a channel and promote the circuit's drivers. We have a lot of cable TV shows, but most of them, like this one, usually go on and off the air without much notice from the public. This is why only Speed's notable programming can earn articles here, and why programming seen by the public and channels as basic filler won't get an article here. It's also why we never usually create program articles for shows on QVC and HSN; they're self-admitted WP:ADVERTs. Although having every show ever on Wikipedia is a laudable goal, it is in the end, impossible because some shows may have had only small viewership not applicable to a broad audience. Nate • (chatter) 23:46, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - No luck finding sources. The only non-DAB incoming link is from List of programs broadcast by Speed, which would not be harmed by deleting this content. It's a bullet entry with no context there, so a redirect isn't worthwhile. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:03, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The allegations of entryism are interesting and perhaps significant, but I think as a subject of coverage Bastiaan had certainly had some, but again it's more about the political machinations rather than the individual. Shritwod (talk) 07:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. That is not a rationale for deletion. Passes WP:GNG with flying colours. Frickeg (talk) 10:12, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He fails any presumption with WP:NPOL as he's never held elective office, so we must go to WP:GNG and he clearly fails that too. A simple Google News search isn't enough to determine WP:GNG, as there's plenty of WP:MILL political reporting where he only gets name dropped, and it's borne out by the sources in the article: there is only one article about him at all and it's about how he's tipped to succeed someone as a leader of a state political party. No other sources are directly about him. May be notable enough in the future, but fails WP:GNG at the moment. SportingFlyer talk 16:05, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Only one article about him at all" is nonsense: even if you exclude all the substantive coverage of his political work and only accept profile pieces, there's still a good bit more than that. The Drover's Wife (talk) 21:29, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've just performed a Google News search of him and there's not even a single article where his name is in the headline. I see a Sydney Morning Herald video on him, but again he clearly fails WP:NPOL and even though he's received a lot of mentions in local newspapers, at the end of the day he's someone who has never been elected to office, has never held party leadership, and has a bunch of name-drops in local articles. SportingFlyer talk 04:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • "Local coverage" is massively misleading - these are some of the highest circulation newspapers in Australia, and the coverage in them is a hell of a lot more than passing references or name drops - it is detailed coverage (and a lot of it) of Bastiaan's various machinations, on top of multiple profiles of him personally. "Never been elected to office" and "has never held party leadership" are not, in fact, arguments for deletion. The Drover's Wife (talk) 05:03, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • No, but since he's a politician, he require "significant press coverage" per WP:NPOL. With only one article and one video directly on him that I can find, this is not even close to being met. At present, he's simply someone who isn't even in charge of his local state party (yet?). Not to make an otherstuffdoesntexist argument, but a quick search shows the party currently in charge of the state, the Labour Party, doesn't even have an article for their president, much less someone who doesn't apparently hold formal power? I would assume the level of local coverage would be similar in this instance. SportingFlyer talk 05:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
            • "One article" is absolute nonsense. He has multiple individual profile pieces and hundreds of articles about his political machinations. We determine notability on significant press coverage - "isn't even in charge of his local state party" is also not an argument for deletion. The president of the governing Labor Party, Hutch Hussein, has 35 Google news hits - several times less than Bastiaan, and considerably more trivial coverage than the substantive articles about Bastiaan, so your assumptions would be wrong in this instance. The Drover's Wife (talk) 06:08, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • Where are the multiple reliable individual profile pieces? I understand local politics gets a lot of coverage in Australia - but just being mentioned in local political articles does not on its own allow a politician who has never held office to pass WP:GNG. This feels similar to me to the recent Zara Kitson AfD - lots of little mentions across Scottish political articles, but not notable on her own. SportingFlyer talk 14:22, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                • There's a problem with the language you're using there SportingFlyer. This is not about "local politics". In Australia that term refers to municipal council elections and the politics surrounding them. Outside the really big cities, I'd agree with an absence of notability there. This is about state level politics in Australia's second most populous state, and about one of the two major parties nation wide. (In fact, the party that is in power nationally, and which only lost the most recent state election by a whisker.) Bastiaan's machinations will impact candidate pre-selections for next federal election. We're really talking national politics here. HiLo48 (talk) 00:00, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                  • I'm defining local politics as non-national politics. Being the vice-president of a state party requires significant coverage, and while I think he's close to significant coverage, there's only about two or three articles at most which talk about him significantly, and one of them is a blog/unreliable source. SportingFlyer talk 00:57, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
                    • Just like Humpty Dumpty, you can use whatever definition you like, but my comment was just a tip for you in an environment where you're talking to a lot of people who will automatically use a different definition, and potentially misunderstand you. HiLo48 (talk) 01:31, 28 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Passes WP:GNG per others, extensive coverage in mainstream media. Does need improvement though. Counterparts in other parties and states don't warrant their own pages because they aren't as notable. Onetwothreeip (talk) 11:06, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Michael Kroger has a page dedicated to him and he has not held public office. No one has nominated that page for deletion.
    • Comment president of a major party in a state and a director of ABC would seem to lend themselves more to notability, as a comparison. Shritwod (talk) 12:27, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTNEWS Minor incident, alot more people are killed every day in major cities across the West, including Toronto, than were killed yesterday. If we let this article stay, then it begs the question: why do random shootings in which a compatible number of people died and that happen every day in large cities do not deserve standalone articles? Openlydialectic (talk) 01:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep — nominator seems to be coming from a general perspective; in a Canadian context, this is exceptional and unusual, thus worthy of note and analysis. Radagast (talk) 01:54, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Ridiculous nom. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 02:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — I agree with previous commenters that this meets WP:GNG, the references cited shows significant coverage in reliable sources, not only locally but large domestic and international publications. It should be added that a mass shooting of this scale in Canada, or Toronto, are few and far between, as demonstrated by the media coverage, and therefore it is not WP:NOTNEWS. That in some other jurisdictions this may be considered normal or not noteworthy isn't particularly relevant to this shooting's notability. UmpireRay (talk) 02:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. — The editors above have listed good reasons. This wouldn't be as noteworthy if it were somewhere more prone to violence, but given the context and location, the article will remain significant. Tkbrett (✉) 03:14, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep: Agree with the above commenters. For Canada, a shooting of this scale is very unusual, this'll remain in the news for a couple weeks now. QueerFilmNerdtalk 03:33, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep: I strongly agree with the above commenters as well. This is extremely significant, given that it happened in Toronto, which is known for a low homicide rate.
