I propose this article be deleted. It does not fit many of Wikipedia's guidelines for a biography. The creator of the page did NOT address issues and continues to include biographical and achievement statements that are NOT found in the low-quality sources being cited and removed warnings about orphan pages and missing information.

Sources are not high-quality secondary sources or are self-published sources. Creator of the page also did not contest the deletion, but rather chose to remove the tag completely without discussion. Once again, I propose a Delete. Lesslikely (talk) 23:09, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the citations to articles that seemed unrelated and will strive to add citations that are more appropriate. Would appreciate any advice to improve the biography Budfawcett (talk) 00:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett The use of references from PubMed and Medline is not a problem when they contain relevant things to be referenced in the article. However, there are several statements on the page that are not referenced by high-quality secondary sources like a high-quality newspaper website or journalistic website. For example, where did the statement about his birthplace come from? Or the statement about him teaching thousands of clinicians with his teaching model? Or the statement about him receiving a reward? There are no high-quality sources for this person. Several of them are faculty pages. It's irrelevant if it's a Harvard faculty page. Until there are high-quality secondary and tertiary sources in the future, this person should not have a Wikipedia page. Every clinician or researcher is not meant to have a Wikipedia page, even if they are from Harvard. Wikipedia pages host biographies if they meet the guidelines for a biography. This page does not. Please see Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources Lesslikely (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Budfawcett Here are several other problematic statements.

"His first book, Why Do I have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal? was published in 2010 and promoted a paradigm shift on how hypothyroidism is managed with diet, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine.[5][6] " Promotion of Amazon book, and using low-quality sources to promote the idea of a "paradigm shift".

"He was the first author to show the clinical management of hypothyroidism needs to involve an autoimmune approach.[7] "

This is not true. Systematic searches of Medline and several other scientific databases will show research papers discussing the connection between autoimmune disorders and hypothyroidism for several decades.

"Patients suffering from hypothyroid disease who were helped by his book went on to develop two thyroid patient-advocacy organizations, Hey Hashi’s[8] and Hashimoto’s 411.[9]"

"His second book, Why Isn’t My Brain Working?, was published in 2013 and serves as a functional neurochemistry reference for both lay readers and practitioners.[10]" Again, where is the high-quality secondary evidence for this?

"Kharrazian has developed a clinical model of functional medicine that has been taught to thousands of health care providers throughout the United States and Europe".

This doesn't sound like a neutral objective statement. Where is the evidence for this statement?

"Kharrazian was born in Tehran, Iran in 1974. His family migrated to Del Mar, California in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution. "

No reference from a high-quality secondary, tertiary source.

"He is a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, a Diplomate of the Board of Nutrition Specialists, a member of the American Society for Nutrition, and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition."

No indication on the reference for this information. Furthermore, who else would know this? Lesslikely (talk) 01:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett Do you have any connection to Datis Kharrazian? If you do, the self-promoting in the article has violated the neutrality of the page. Lesslikely (talk) 01:30, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lesslikey, I will pass on your comments to Dr. Kharrazian to see what can be updated. Budfawcett (talk) 01:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I don't think this page can be improved because getting rid of the poor sources isn't enough, there simply aren't any high-quality sources in the first place. I believe a Delete may be the best option. Especially considering that the creator of the page has admitted above to being affiliated with the subject, which has led to favorable, promotional bias in the language of the page. I don't think this is at all appropriate. Wikipedia is not a place for self-promotion. Lesslikely (talk) 06:49, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your information. I'll see if I can improve the sources and the writing. There are many links on the internet. But I'm not sure what wikipedia moderators consider 'high quality' since so many websites are low quality in looks, but high quality in content. Budfawcett (talk) 16:59, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I joined Wikipedia about ten years ago. I object to the deletion of my first published article about Datis Kharrazian accepted by Wikipedia in September 2017. I removed its orphan status a week ago, as suggested by the orphan notice at the top of the page. That notice also included a note that the notice could be removed without explanation if I contested removal of the article. I'm not a professional writer or professional wiki editor, but the 15-sentence article now seems to be neutral and unbiased. If you have suggestions on where to improve this article I would appreciate any feedback. Additional citations will be added as available. Thanks for your continued feedback and improvements to my article. Budfawcett (talk) 18:24, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment striking addition to WikiProject schools. Subject isn't about a school or a founder of a school that would attract a school-related redirect. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 19:28, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment not that it's going to surprise anyone given all the above but this bozo's apparently advertising for help with stopping the article from being deleted. Nice of him to say he's willing to pay top dollar too, I must say. 185.220.70.168 (talk) 20:46, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I find this highly disturbing and disappointing. It is clear that the author and creator of the page tried to maintain his/her neutrality, but then somehow the subject was immediately informed of the possible impending deletion and is now looking for a way to prevent that by hiring someone to clean up the page. I seriously believe the neutrality of this page is compromised and the creator has a serious conflict of interest here that has biased the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesslikely (talkcontribs) 21:02, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for calling me a BOZO on wikipedia... Really? I'm not a professional writer or wiki editor, just looking to improve my content on Wikipedia. Budfawcett (talk) 21:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Budfawcett, you are the creator, you are also the subject of the page and have been found to request services to keep your own Wikipedia page. Not every person is meant to have a Wikipedia page. Please check the guidelines for biographies. You also advertise your books throughout and have written several statements with the intention of self-promotion, though they are now deleted because I brought the discussion up. However, there is still a serious lack of any reputable, third-party sources on the page, and it reads like a self-promotion rather than a biography. Several of the references are obscure websites that anyone can edit. Again, there is a conflict of interest here. Lesslikely (talk) 21:26, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Update: The subject of the article has now made the request page for help from a Freelancer on Upwork private. Lesslikely (talk) 21:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, checking on Upwork to see if anyone had any magic bullets, or suggestions. I appreciate everyone's feedback and some of the updates that happened yesterday from WIKI users. I have read both of Dr. Kharrazian's books and some of his research articles. So yes, I'm a fan. I think he is a notable doctor/writer when I compare him to some other doctor/author bios on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, some of the contributors to the talk page might think he is not notable enough for a page, and initially asked for a delete. So let the Wiki admins determine whether he is notable enough, and if any of the talk page followers want to improve the verbiage on the page, or update citations on the page, that would be great. Since I received an inflammatory comment on this public WIKI talk page (I think it's public) from an unidentified user with an iP address (well that's not my cup of tea), I'd rather spend my free time with my kids. I think the page is neutral enough, and more citations can be added as they become available. So my comments will end here. Thanks again. ### Budfawcett (talk) 00:54, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett I would advise that you halt editing this page. Please look at your talk page and notice the conflict of interest notice. You have previously stated that you are in touch with Datis Kharrazian. You are also the creator of the page. You also have information about his birth, and several other pieces of information not found in the references cited. Who else would know these things besides Datis himself or someone close to him? Furthermore, you attempted to advertise on UpWork to hire a freelancer to edit this page as to not have your Wikipedia page deleted. It seems abnormal for a "fan" to go out of his/her way, even financially, to keep a Wikipedia page about a person they've read a "few research articles about". Wikipedia editors are not that gullible. Lesslikely (talk) 23:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lesslikely Of course I asked Dr. Kharrazian his birthdate and requested a copyright free photo. If I look at other bios of living persons, how else is it done if the info and photo are not readily available online. There are so many examples of birthdate's that are not cited. I was fishing for free info from Upwork but came up empty. Like many people I googled Wikipedia editors, and Upwork came up. My only intent is to publish a neutral article, and it started with rewriting his online biography which was not neutral. Thanks for assisting in making it better. My intent was never to self-promote for Dr. Kharrazian, just to note his contributions to science, teaching, etc. Budfawcett (talk) 21:08, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lesslikely I have checked my talk page and I have added the connected contributor tag (hopefully) to the correct places. Thanks. Budfawcett (talk) 22:02, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete nothing even close to meeting the notability qualifications for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:11, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment John Pack Lambert This was my point. If every academic, who's published a few papers in relatively obscure journals and who's written their own books deserved to have a Wikipedia page, the site would be filled with far too many unnecessary biographies. Also, a page that is far from neutral, reads like an advertisement, and is created by someone with a very clear conflict of interest? I don't think it meets the criteria to stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesslikely (talkcontribs) 02:04, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Anthony Ewins[edit]

These same concerns also apply to Ewins' creative partner, article found at:

Timothy Glover (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Not notable under WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Two reliable sources cover solely in the context of being "ascended fanboys" who got noticed for their JW fansite and hired by Universal. No other significant coverage. Otherwise the page, before cleanup, was almost entirely a promotional summary of the sites they created.

On an additional note: the article was moved from draftspace by an account that had been dormant for 10 years, only to come back and begin writing about both Ewins and Glover on Jurassic World articles. RA0808 talkcontribs 21:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC); edited 21:40, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that if the subjects were just "marketers" there would be little reason for a Wikipedia page. However, Trevorrow has publicly stated in a previous tweet that they are "creative consultants". Given they've significantly shaped the Jurassic canon there are grounds to push them as creative writers/Jurassic consultants, given the uniqueness of their roles.

If you think about it, it's not really helpful to put musicians here, nor is overlisting them, as you have done above. If it's a musician, put them in music-related.

  • Merge per EDDY's arguments and the fact that, as indicated by this articles reference list, this subject has been covered in reliable sources and officially-published independent sources. The Delete arguments are invalid because they're saying the topic isn't notable simply because it's only "alleged" to happen and that "this kind of maybe it happened material can be covered by the Led Zep journalists." That doesn't prove anything about how much the topic is being covered in reliable sources. "Laughable that this would be an encyclopedic topic" (a vague WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC argument) also doesn't prove anything about the subject's notability either. Whether an article stays or is deleted depends on reliable coverage of the article, and this subject has that, so there. editorEهեইдအ😎 21:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hammer of the Gods and Stairway to Heaven are about as reliable as The Sun and the National Enquirer, and pitched at about the same level.

  • Delete - I am a hopeless Led Zep geek so of course I am familiar with this story. It will always be a part of the band's folklore but it is an alleged incident that has become legendary after 40 years of people talking about it like it really happened. It does have a seemingly solid source in the book by Stephen Davis, but the only known originator of the legend is Richard Cole whose memory and reliability have been placed in doubt, to put it politely. See the Contributions to published accounts section of Cole's WP article for some sourced interviews on that matter. Back to the shark thing, WP:NOT has multiple guidelines that could be used to strike down this article, including original thought and rumors. Anyone in favor of keeping the article or merging to the band need to show a policy concerning an old rumor becoming legendary enough to keep as a LEGEND rather than as true history. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:30, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually nominating this for a redirect as the subject is not independently notable aside from his work in Editors (band) and most, if not all of the content is covered in the band article and his own article is incredibly poorly sourced, serves as little more than a promotional outlet, trivial nonsense (the entire personal section) and all coverage is almost exclusively about his work in the band. Also per WP:MUSICBIO specifically "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases [...] CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:02, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree the article could be sourced better, but re: the notable artist thing, aside from his work as Druids, he has also produced an album of the band The Spectors, and he has collaborated with Andy Burrows. It does seem like user Chrissymad got a bit triggered by attempts to change the photo on the page, which is in essence just a bit of banter by the way. Also I've never used this part of Wikipedia before so apologies if I'm doing this wrong. User:Hvn42 —Preceding undated comment added 19:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hvn42 I could care less about the photo, thanks. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:19, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose deletion or redirect. Of course I assume good faith on the part of all editors. However, I am uneasy about the nominator's motives timing in this instance. The nomination for deletion or redirect comes almost instantly in the wake of edit warring today in which the nominator was involved, creating the appearance of personal pique. The BLP at issue has been on Wikipedia since August 2006‎. It did not just suddenly become "incredibly poorly sourced … little more than a promotional outlet, trivial nonsense," and there has been no discussion whatever at Talk:Chris Urbanowicz for the past 11 years—which would have afforded interested parties a chance to remedy deficiencies. I urge editors to look objectively at this and not jump to conclusions. KalHolmann (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This would be better served at a user page. I'd also caution editors on casting aspersions - TNT 💖 20:07, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • KalHolmann Can you please stop questioning my motives? I nominated it because it did not appear to be notable and was in fact doing so before anyone started edit warring but decided at the time a redirect was plausible given what I cited. I have no ill will toward anyone but my attention was not brought to this until an edit filter was triggered and I reversed the very first edit. Please stop casting aspersions. As far as the talk page- why not discuss it here? I see no evidence that he meets inclusion criteria, as per what I've said. How else do you come across an article you're not looking for other than through the course of doing other work on Wikipedia? I'm not an endless fountain of knowledge that knows everything that has ever existed here, give me a break.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:25, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Chrissymad, I apologize for offending you. But I believe you are not the right person to be nominating this BLP for deletion or redirect at this time, based on today's s contentious edit history of that article. KalHolmann (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @KalHolmann: Excuse me? What history? I removed a copyrighted photo, that is literally it. I've not engaged in any other manner with any user other than explaining copyright issues in my edit summary. How does that exclude me from nominating an article for deletion? Can you please tell me how I am involved aside from removing a photo? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Chrissymad, since you mention edit summaries, your first today was straightforward: "Copyvio."
Your next summaries were increasingly testy, culminating in what struck me as an exasperated redirect followed 13 minutes later by nomination for deletion.
"It doesn't matter what the subject wants - we do not allow copyrighted content and it's plainly obvious he did not take the photograph."
"No, it is the photographer who holds the copyright. not the subject. and again, subjects do not dictate what an article contains."
"boldly redirect per WP:MUSICBIO, "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." - the band is notable, he is not, redirect"
"Nominated for deletion; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Urbanowicz."
This may be your idea of an objectively detached Wikipedian going about one's work. My impression differs. KalHolmann (talk) 19:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@KalHolmann: I'll also ask publicly what ulterior motive you are accusing me of having, thanks. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:39, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KalHolmann And you've failed to explain how on earth that makes me involved. Being straightforward is not testy. I could care less about the subject matter. You've also failed to back up your claim that I am somehow involved and have an ulterior motive. If you can't provide it, I'd ask that you kindly redact your false statement as it's irrelevant to this discussion. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:05, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @KalHolmann: For what it's worth, I see no issue with this article being AfD'd by Chrissymad at this time, involved or not. The intention of AfD is to come to a consensus about the fate of this article going forward - whether it be kept, deleted, or another result as appropriate. Consensus about the article is now the important thing, not a discussion about whether it was nominated by the 'right' person. I'm also aware that I was removing the photo in question from the article, as a purely policy-based point of there being no indicated permission from the photographer - noting that the image has now been deleted from Commons for that reasoning too. Let's try and now focus on the article itself, photograph aside. stwalkerster (talk) 19:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing any WP:AUTHOR criterion. As always, every writer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because she and her work exist -- she needs to attain a distinction that passes AUTHOR, and she needs to have the reliable source coverage in media to carry an article. But this is referenced exclusively to her staff profile on the self-published website of her own employer, a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself rather than being analyzed in the third person by other people, and two blog entries -- which means that exactly zero of these are sources that assist in building notability at all.

  • Delete fails WP:NPOL, has not been elected to any office. All trivial mentions about him in the sources provided and there is no inherent notability in being a General Secretary of the Yuva Sena which is actually the youth wing of the Shiv Sena. In my opinion it is WP:TOSOON to warrant a standalone article on Wikipedia. FitIndia 14:34, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Nothing here passes WP:NPOL, and the sources represent glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things rather than coverage that is substantively about him for the purposes of getting over WP:GNG. People do not automatically qualify for Wikipedia articles the moment their name has appeared in newspaper articles — for a source to count as a data point toward getting a person over GNG, he needs to be its core subject and not just namechecked or soundbited in coverage whose core subject is something else.

The sole exception is this gossipy piece in the Mumbai Metro supplement of Asian Age, which would hardly suffice (also, as has been noted during previous discussions at WP:RSN, we should be very careful/averse to using the local supplements of even mainstream Indian newspapers as sources, since they are given to celebrity gossip, low/non-existent fact-checking, and lightly-editing reprinting of press releases).

Notability concerns. Currently an unsourced BLP, but some sources (such as [5]) do exist.

Promotional article of an apparently self-published author who may not meet wikipedia's standards of notability for authors. Many of details in the article are misleading/false (eg, claim that Penguin Publishers included subject's story in an anthology), non-noteworthy (eg, the listed awards), or unsupported by secondary sources (eg, most of the biographical details).

Article was created by an editor (and their sock accounts) with apparent conflict of interest, and after their submitted draft was reviewed and rejected by five independent reviewers, the draft's creator simply reviewed, accepted and moved their own submission to mainspace.

  • Delete primarily per nom. I'm inclined to argue that this individual, at this time, fails to pass WP:AUTHOR primarily due to their lack of reference and mention in WP:RS. From the page's 23 listed references, I was able to find only two thid-party mentions, one regarding weight loss and largely unrelated to the author career (here) and another discussing a brief 2013 interview by The Hindu, (here). Per the listings at WP:AUTHOR, this subject fails to meet the criterion, The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, as well as The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. --HunterM267 talk 17:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the article. Decision based on the fact that said author has noted as a public literary figure. He been a guest speaker at MICA Ahmedabad and IIT BHU, both institutions of national repute in India. He has also served as co-editor for the book 21 Things About Romance, in which he interviewed 100+ authors, selected 21 authors and recommended their work for inclusion in the anthological opinion book. He has been included to the Forbes Top 100 Celebrities long-list in 2014: http://www.forbesindia.com/printcontent/39097, and has written and directed a national TVC for Amagi Corporation - Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irebwxOtioY Making of video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSjetN8Ry20. The references included here should not be ignored. This is a notable person and author according to WP:AUTHOR criteria, has never added promotional material to the Wikipedia page, and frankly, the move to delete this page is being seen as deep rooted in racism. I urge you to reconsider and look up the author's accomplishments before making a decision. Requesting you to draw an example from Durjoy Datta's page, who has also been listed on Wikipedia for the same exact reasons. Shomprakash Sinha Roy has worked his way hard after dropping out of college, has never had any form of wealth to support his public relations, never worked with a PR agency, and has been a struggling author who received his due credits starting with the publication of his books.

South Sudanese singer who does not meet the notability requirements for musicians or the general notability criterion. The only claim of importance is that he won "Best music video in 2017". It's not clear what organisation awarded that prize but in any case, the claim seems dubious: the title of the song is not specified, the website of the Juba Monitor (which is the reference cited) does not have any available article using the word "Barbz" and I cannot find any trace on YouTube (or other online video services) of that song. Surely, someone with the means of shooting an award-winning video is capable of posting it online (and would probably do so immediately). Pichpich (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete (very weak!) on the basis that the information is a repeat of content already existing on the parent article, although this article is laid out well and makes finding the specific content easier. However, if an article were to exist for this award, you'd surely have to create an article for every other award in a similar manner, thus have everything replicated? It's fair to say the parent article is getting more and more bloated as the years progress, so it may be worth considering if the awards table should be split into separate articles to make it manageable. I could easily be swayed to keep if there is any compelling arguments given, but for now, purely on the basis of repetition, i'll remain in the delete camp.

  • Weak delete. Although the article is in a different layout to that of The British Soap Awards, it still wouldn't be difficult to find all the best actor nominations if that's what you wanted. I don't feel that the individual award for best actor is notable in its own right as it is usually discussed as part of the ceremony. — ᴀnemoneᴘroᴊecтors 13:46, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not pass notability. Verifiable acting history is three non-starring roles, one of which is in Beyond (2017 TV series), but she is not mentioned in the article about it, and another was only an episode in a series. With such limited roles, there is limited citations in google and in the article. Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 17:13, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Her IMDB[1] says 19 roles. Not sure where "entire acting history is three non-starring roles" is coming from. Also not sure which "article about the film" you are referring to. Her new role is on NBC's new TV show called Manifest which is airing this fall[2]. Also she had a recurring role on CTV's Saving Hope[3]. Some more articles from Google:

Thanks Frayae. Still not quite sure what else is needed to "pass notability". Can you clarify further please? She's also mentioned in the Manifest (TV Series) Wikipedia page. It's just linking to the wrong Parveen Kaur (in the infobox). She's also on the poster for the show. https://411mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/NUP_182993_0007-645x370.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrixtonTown (talkcontribs) 1 July 2018 (UTC)

To pass notability requires some reliable sources that have a reasonably long piece of writing about Parveen Kaur herself. Sources that mention she had such and such role in such and such film are not substantial enough to be used to support the article. I also will point out that Imdb itself or materials published by the film companies or their promoters, should not be used as a reliable source because they are not independent. Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 13:21, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Frayae. Still sounds a bit vague to me but here are a few more found doing a quick Google search. Along with the references and links above I can't see how she doesn't pass notability requirements. As well she was a guest on CP24 Breakfast in Toronto: https://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=1178422. It's pretty obvious to me that she's a Canadian actor based in Toronto.

  • Delete. The notability test for an actor or actress is not the number of roles they've had — an actress can be notable for just one role if she got a Canadian Screen Award or Academy Award nomination for it, and an actor can be non-notable for 100 roles if they were all walk-on and bit parts. The notability test for an actress is the amount of reliable source coverage she's received for having acting roles — but BrixtonTown is not providing reliable sources that are substantively about her. Mere casting announcements don't cut it, because any actor who gets any role can always show those; video clips of her being interviewed on CP24 Breakfast don't cut it, because she's speaking about herself rather than being discussed in the third person by people other than her; profiles in directories like IMDb or Northern Stars don't cut it, because every actor who fits the directory's criteria indiscriminately gets a profile; mere mentions of her existence in coverage of the film or TV show she was in don't cut it, because that's not substantively about her; blogs like The Teal Mango don't cut it because they're blogs; marketing profiles on the websites of film festivals her films have appeared at don't cut it, because those are provided by the actress's own PR agent and not written independently. Reliable sourcing is not necessarily the same thing as just any source that verifies that she exists: all possible sources of information do not count equally as builders of notability. Only certain specific kinds of sources, namely media coverage about her, do that, but the ones being shown here aren't the correct kinds. Bearcat (talk) 20:33, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Andrew: By not commenting on the article's content, then: Are you implicitly agreeing on the initial content evaluation (i.e. "so crappy that it's beyond salvation"), hence suggesting to keep the list, but blank it, so to achieve immediate improvement? -- DexterPointy (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep an encyclopedic and policy compliant topic, as demonstratd by the Colonel. As a member of wiki project Breakfast, I couldn't agree less with the view that the article content is low quality. It's a very nice article, I see it's benefited from considerable editing from our founding member, NorthAmerica1000 themselves. I agree with DexterPointy that there is room for improvment, but sadly there are a great many other articles requiring attention. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments & Questions :
  • Does "the Colonel" happen to be the nickname of the goldfish hovering over Wikipedia? (I'm obviously referring to the omnipresent goldfish being responsible for demonstrating topics' compliance with Wikipedia policy.)
And then looking into content:
  • First sentence: "This is a list of notable breakfast drinks."
    Notability of list-items, is always determined on a per-list basis. This list makes no attempt on defining what any relevant criterion for notability of items might be.
    So it's not overly surprising to see Champagne being on the list (and Champagne is far from the weirdest item on the list), but it is rather amusing in that the item description include linkage to Champagne breakfast, wherein the lead says "It is a new concept in some countries and is not typical of the role of a breakfast.". - So, Champagne is notable thanks to being atypical.
  • Second sentence: "A drink is a type of liquid which is consumed."
    One glaring missed item on the list is olive oil. It's much less typical than champagne at breakfast, and, by logic extension, therefore much more notable. - If you really believe it to be a nice article of high quality, then it's kind of embarrassing that olive oil isn't there at all, when it clearly should be listed at, or near, the very top.

The Colonel is Andrew D, one of Wikipedia's most scholarly editors. As to your other points, while your various leaps of logic are enjoyable to read, and not without virtuoso qualities, I don't find them entirely convincing I'm afraid. I don't think it would be fair to the closing admin to get into an extended debate on these matters. If however the article survives AfD and you were to raise your concerns on the article's talk page, I'd say there's a reasonable chance myself or another WikiProject Breakfast member would be happy to discuss. FeydHuxtable (talk) 23:29, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FeydHuxtable: I don't see how a viable definition of "notable breakfast drink" can be created, and thus no realistic path to ever making this list into something which satisfy WP's quest for quality. I can think of no reasonable definition of "notable breakfast drink", except definitions requiring data, which either does not exist or involves a substantial element of processing (which unfortunately violates WP's prohibition against original research).
Somewhat unrelated, based on the attitude of your verbiage this far, I'd also like to draw your attention to WP:OWN, and in particular: "No one, no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page." -- DexterPointy (talk) 14:55, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedians generally consider something as 'noteable' if it receives coverage in reliable sources. (Often an even tighter definition is used as given in WP:GNG, though as per WP:LISTN, list items don't have to be individually noteable, so we don't have to apply the strict sense of the word.) Essentially, "notable breakfast drink" would seem to mean a drink that gets coverage in WP:RS as a beverage consumed at breakfast. I'd say this is already the working definition that's been used by the editors who built up the article. One could argue the definition is imperfect, and I'd agree, but I don't see it as a good use of time to refine it further right now. Maybe this would be something to re-visit if ever the list is expanded so much it becomes difficult to navigate. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – Passes WP:LISTN, and the content is sourced in the article, although more sources for verification are needed in the Description section of the table. I don't view the content as "crappy" at all, which is simply a weasel word. Some sources demonstrating WP:LISTN as being met include, but are not limited to: [8], [9], [10], [11], [12].

  • Comment - WP:LISTN actually says:

Furthermore, from WP:NOTDIR, there's

The communications firm he founded is not notable, and appears to have shut down over ten years ago. Nothing else he has done makes him notable in any way.

  • Redirect. As I've had to point out far more often than usual this year given how unusually passionate people are for a midterm year, the fact that some coverage of the candidate exists in a campaign-specific context is not in and of itself a WP:GNG pass for a person notable only as an election candidate — every candidate in every election always gets some campaign-specific coverage, so if "some campaign coverage exists" were all it took to get a candidate over GNG then every candidate would always get over GNG, and our established consensus that candidates are not automatically notable just for being candidates would be inherently unenforceable because every candidate could always claim that same exemption from having to pass NPOL. So making a candidate notable enough for an article on the grounds of the candidacy itself does not just require "show that campaign coverage exists" — it requires "show that so much campaign coverage exists that he's got a credible claim to being a special case over and above most other candidates." But that's not what's being shown here, and neither does the article make any credible case that he would already have been deemed notable for other reasons prior to the candidacy. So it can be recreated if he wins the seat in November, but nothing here is enough to make him already eligible for inclusion today. I will grant that this isn't immediately redirectable on the grounds of the first discussion alone, as the notability claim has changed from "candidate in the primary" to "candidate who won the primary and is going into the general election accordingly" — but the inclusion test for politicians is winning the general election, not just the primary, so that change still isn't enough.

  • REDIRECT per Bearcat. Just being a candidate does not grant inherent notability and his only claim to notability is his candidacy. Tillerh11 (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect and possible speedy redirect - are we going to keep having this be an issue for the rest of the election? SportingFlyer talk 19:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have no objection to the redirect, just wanted a consensus behind it for the sake of posterity (and dealing with those that may revert it again). John from Idegon (talk) 21:33, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a page about a straightforwardly notable individual and US political figure. See the national and international media coverage cited on the page, as well as a host of additional material available online and elsewhere to anyone who bothers to look. There is ongoing coverage with growing relevance now that he is a general election candidate, e.g. a recent article discusses him directly alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who also has her own Wikipedia page as an unelected candidate [1]. Similarly, Campa-Najjar's opponent Duncan Hunter had a Wikipedia page even as an unelected candidate [2], even with a dearth of citations to support any notion of exceptional notability. It would be applying a ridiculous double standard to claim that coverage related primarily to a congressional candidacy is irrelevant for one person but sufficient for others. Furthermore, as mentioned in the previous redirecting session before the primary election, some of the media coverage is unrelated to the campaign. Bearcat can italicize every single word of the entire comment, if he likes, but the claims will still not hold any water. Sadly enough, the attempts by some users to rashly delete the page without discussion and then to ignore the evident notability of the subject appear obviously to be motivated by political biases. Wikipedia can and should aim for a higher degree of logic and impartiality. B P G PhD (talk) 03:42, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hunter has been a member of congress. THAT makes him notable. As the youngest person ever to run for congress, a notion of notability outside the particular campaign exists for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And of course, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is seldom considered a valid argument at AfD. B P G PhD, the time has come to ask, what is your connection to the subject of the article nominated for deletion here? Are you related to him, are you him or are you employed by him? Are you employed by or otherwise an active member of his campaign committee? Are you contracted to either him, his campaign committee or to his party? If these questions are offensive, I apologize in advance, but they are being asked because your position here seems to be more advocating for him, rather than for his article. Also, the majority of your edits have related in some way or another to this campaign. John from Idegon (talk) 04:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is not the "youngest person ever to run for congress", and even if she is elected she will not be nearly the youngest person ever to serve in congress [1]. B P G PhD (talk) 14:51, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, Duncan Hunter did not get to keep an article in advance of being elected to Congress. Somebody tried, as they always do for candidates, but it got deleted and was then restored after he won and his notability claim had thus changed. Bearcat (talk) 16:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Noting that Bearcat's claim regarding Duncan Hunter's Wikipedia entry, though rich in italicization, is contradicted by the historical record, which shows an entry for Hunter from 18:26, 12 June 2008‎ onward. B P G PhD (talk) 05:37, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Oh, ffs. B P G PhD, if you had followed the instructions before posting here, you'd know that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is virtually never a persuasive argument here. But even if it was, compare this, the notability guidelines for politicians in June 2008, to WP:NPOL, the guidelines in effect today for politicians. Under the guidelines in effect THEN, Hunter likely was notable in June 2008. If the events then unfolded now with the same history his article would likely be deleted. It was correctly kept in 2008, and none of that has any relevance to this discussion whatsoever. Because OTHERSTUFF. Care to actually speak to the article at hand? Care to rebutt the below? John from Idegon (talk) 07:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • The relevant sentence is completely identical in the two versions you cite: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." B P G PhD (talk) 14:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • If only that coverage existed....there are 0 sources beyond the campaign. Without sources that discuss his life prior to the election, the only thing that can be produced is a campaign ad. John from Idegon (talk) 15:15, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • It appears that there is some confusion regarding the notability policy and particularly the phrase "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." John from Idegon writes "there are 0 sources beyond the campaign", but has discussed (below) several of the reliable cited sources that are independent of the subject. "Independent" here clearly refers to sources of news and information that are not controlled or written by the subject. It does not refer to news articles that are not "about" the subject, which would obviously be impossible. B P G PhD (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This is based on this revision of the article, the revision immediately preceding B P G PhD's !vote.
    • ref 1 is his website, which could never support notability.
    • refs 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 are about his very first campaign for national or state office, an election that he has not won; hence failing WP:NPOL.
    • ref 4 is a tweet by the candidate, lacking both independence and reliability; hence do not support notability in any way.
    • ref 7 is his LinkedIn resume. cannot possibly speak to notability.
    • refs 5, 6, 14 are self written by the candidate - lacks independence and cannot possibly support notability.
    • ref 10 is a YouTube video of the candidate doing a talking head thing - lacks both independence and reliability. No help with notability.
    • ref 16 is clearly stated as an opinion piece, and is only reliable for the fact that it is their opinion and not for any factual content. Very weak support for notability (at best).
    • That leaves us with ref 15, an interview with The Atlantic. As an interview, there is obviously some independence problems. The only thing that can be used to vet notability in an interview is the analysis of the journalist conducting the interview. I am not seeing enough between the two marginally usable sources to support notability, and all the rest of the references say absolutely nothing whatsoever to notability. In short, my nomination stands. John from Idegon (talk) 04:56, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Ammar Campa-Najjar meets WP:GNG due to multiple sources of independent media coverage. This independent media coverage includes international coverage from the Independent, a British publication,[2] as well as several pieces of coverage from national publications that date two years before he announced his candidacy. [3][4][5][6]
  • Comment Getting articles published in The Hill, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Washington Post is something that most people cannot claim, and so it is wrong to say it is "no help with notability." Moreover, Campa has at least four pieces of independent media coverage dating two years before he announced his candidacy. See my recent additions and references below. All of this independent media coverage combined - both from before his campaign started and after it - mean that Campa meets WP:GNG. Narayansg (talk) 14:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe this subject is notable enough for Wikipedia at the moment. I see the sources in reliable publications, however:

- I am unsure how reliable the publication used for the first and third source is. - The second source is about the family vlog channel she is a part of (should there be an article on the whole family instead?) - The fourth source mentions the subject briefly in passing, but also mentions the family vlog channel. - Sources 6, 7, and 8 are more about the shows themselves, which could be used if the shows were notable, but I question whether they should be used here (since they are a legitimate source, but do not really cover the subject much) - Some of the other sources are either not really sources (Billboard,iTunes Chart) while others, such as the Shorty Award sources, are from questionable publications.

In the article, some sentences seem unnecessary, a fan's words, or promotional:

"After it was speculated that LeBlanc was dating fellow social media star Hayden Summerall in 2017, the alleged couple was dubbed "Hannie" by fans, who created elaborate fan-fiction with complex storylines about their high school relationship, and photoshopped thousands of pictures that appear to show the two together."

Also, the mentions of views on the web series and songs seem promotional to me.

I think there is a case for articles on the web series she is in, or the production company behind the web series, but I am not sure if the subject is entirely notable at the moment (although I may be wrong, we will see). Andise1 (talk) 02:56, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article could be improved by covering how it is part of split of conservatives, perhaps within split covered by this 2008 New York Times article (which does not mention Raleigh).

  • Speedy keep Further proving that it's a waste of time to come here to build an encyclopedia when others are only interested in tearing it down. Per Piledhigheranddeeper, this is a perfectly legitimate example of content forking. There's quite a few contemporary sources present in the article, plus a decent number of respectable retrospective sources. As referred to in the talk page, Stan Patty's book Fearless Men and Fabulous Women, published in 2004, devotes a chapter to this episode in history. Patty spent 34 years at the Seattle Times as their resident Alaska expert. What little has been published about Tanner's life suggests that he was highly respected as a figure in law enforcement and as a community leader in Skagway, including serving as a United States Marshal, based largely on his reputation from this incident. The nominator does not elaborate on the COI they refer to, despite how obvious it is to me. Perhaps WP:COIN would be a better forum-shopping venue? Wikipedia has sadly become a dumping ground for whatever people find lying around the web today. A lack of interest in real research and real sources is the cause of the state of the references found in the article at present. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 01:05, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per RadioKAOS. This was a fairly significant gunfight, involving a fairly well-known scoundrel. Too much to merge back into Soapy's article. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:50, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep After reviewing the evidence, the shootout is clearly notable and it's too much to be merged back. I'm also not seeing a COI - the article creator seems to be pretty interested in Soapy Smith, but that alone does not constitute a COI seeing as we all edit articles about subjects we're interested in. That's not the sense of the word that "interest" is being used in the phrase "Conflict of Interest." And in any case, the article has plenty of other editors too. Smartyllama (talk) 13:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I had seen this as so obvious as not to need reiteration, but the articles creator, primary writer, and primary source is a blood relation who sells essentially self-published books on the subject, and has inserted his own judgement over that of disinterested authors. With that sort of thing removed, this might make an extra few sentences in “Soapy Smith” or ”Skagway”. This isn’t an encyclopedia article, it is advertisement for an author, not otherwise published, who has a book about his family...from a publisher with three, count ‘em, three books, two of which are out-of-copyright reprints. If you think this really worth a stand-alone article , then let’s blow up the existing mess that’s in its place. Qwirkle (talk) 14:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I count 17 sources in the article from people other than this so-called relative. And Jeff Smith is one of the most common names in America, so I'm not even seeing proof they're all related unless there's something they've explicitly said. Smartyllama (talk) 14:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, less than half the sources don’t lead back to COI spam, and you think that is a positive sign?
Given that you have not read the article creator’s talk page, I don’T see how you can have such a strong opinion here about whether there is a COI. Qwirkle (talk) 16:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
17 sources is more than enough to establish GNG. There are plenty of editors who edited the page besides this so-called relative. And most importantly, AFD is not cleanup. So whether someone's related to the subject somehow is really irrelevant to this discussion. Smartyllama (talk) 17:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
17 good sources central to the subject might establish notability , but we don’t have that here now. GNG does not, in itself, establish the need for a stand alone article. Finally, “AFD is not cleanup” explicitly notes tht a substantial portion or writers believe that a realllllly bad article, like this one, should simply be deleted. Qwirkle (talk) 18:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, it appears that you're attempting to play the same tired old bullshit game often played at AFD of judging the content and sources solely by what's present in the article at this moment and ignoring the advice given at WP:BEFORE. If Wikipedia truly was the collaborative environment it claimed to be, we could have avoided the COI and sourcing issues, not to mention this discussion, a long time ago. Stan Patty was a highly credentialed journalist, with a book published by a reputable publisher (Epicenter Press), which in part discussed this episode well over a century after it happened. The fact that he grew up in Alaska and went on to write extensively about Alaska for many decades may mean that he wasn't a "disinterested author" in the eyes of some, but that's quite a stretch when one considers his credentials. Many of the clearly reliable sources present in the article probably aren't geographically far enough removed for the crowd that are fond of making that argument. You know, the "It's not the New York Times" types. Well, a search of the NYT website shows a piece from 1928 which discusses this episode as part of the greater context of Smith's time in Skagway. Which brings me back to the first part of this particular argument: if reliable sources are still discussing this incident well over a century later, then just how many reliable sources have been published in between which are being ignored here? There are some people who don't wish to acknowledge those sort of sources because they wish to push Wikipedia in the direction of being a compendium of trending topics on the web from one particular day or another within the 21st century. So much for "the sum total of all human knowledge". RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 21:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Stardust the Super Wizard. This doesn't meet GNG on its own, but the content isn't currently summarized in the main article. Argento Surfer (talk) 16:51, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Stardust the Super Wizard per above comment. Aoba47 (talk) 02:08, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article was split from Stardust the Super Wizard because it made the original article too long. The stories are indivudual interpretations and explorations of the original character created in the 1930s. The stories fill in plot holes, propose backstory, and otherwise enhance a primitive, yet seminal character in comics history. They all strayed enough from the original stories and one another to deserve their own entry. Admittedly, the summary could use some polishing. Ubiquitouslarry (talk) 10:07, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The above user is the creator of both Stardust pages. Etzedek24 (I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record) 17:36, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Summarize then merge: Obviously time was put into this article, but it appears to be based on WP:SYN from primary sources. Unless it can be demonstrated from third-party sources that this topic has any notability, I'm skeptical that we should dedicating space to mention arbitrary projects, let alone their publication history. The crux of the notability argument is that this character is extensively used because it is in the public domain, but that claim is unsourced. Additionally, the title of the article makes it sound like it is the title of a series, but that does not appear to be the case; Unofficial Stardust the Super Wizard comics may be more appropriate, if the article is to remain. —Ost (talk) 18:40, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is fancruft, a "List of unofficial Stardust the Super Wizard stories" (many of which appear to be Blogger or Tumblr posts) is better suited to FanFiction.Net than Wikipedia. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:39, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per power~enwiki. This simply isn't encyclopedic content. ansh666 08:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
