Doesn't seem to be a notable artist, I can only find the one mention, in Newsarama. The characters he alleges to have worked on were created by someone else.

  • Delete: Non-notable author. It would also free up the namespace to be redirected to S-Town, which was created by another man named Brian Reed (or indeed his own article if he ever qualifies for notability for multiple pieces of media). Macktheknifeau (talk) 15:08, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: Those articles seem to be discussing things he's written, not the man himself. They would be useful sources on any notable specific comics or games he wrote for, but don't feel like significant, in depth coverage of himself as a person. Macktheknifeau (talk) 03:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I found some interviews with him from notable sources (Comic Book Resources, Newsarama), but they're about his comic work instead of him. Most of his work has been second tier at best in terms of prestige, reception, and sales. Argento Surfer (talk) 12:47, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reed was the lead writer for the Halo 5: Guardians video game, which sold approximately 4 million copies.[1]

Seems to fail WP:NALBUM; only reviews available are crowdsourced (Amazon). -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 10:44, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article counts as a album stub with "Start-class", as it was released quite recently and can be further edited and added on to. Websites commenting on its release can be written in the near future, which will provide a suitable benchmark for album reviews. aNode (discuss) 11:08, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's strange to know that this was the only article for deletion which was brought up. When I wrote this article, I formulated it to be exactly the same to previous album pages for the Anjunabeats Worldwide series, which are as seen here: Anjunabeats Worldwide 03 and Anjunabeats Worldwide 04. (The one I wrote might have even more information than these two pages, as I mentioned about the tour which came with the album's release!) Yet mine was the only one AFDed and these articles still stand. Thus if this article was to be deleted, the other ones mentioned too should be AFDed. I don't believe for album music stubs to be deleted, as its format was mentioned here on the Wikiproject Album page and there are methods stated to help expand the article in the table. (Editors should place a stub template at the bottom of the article, just above the categories. Focus should be on expanding the lead section, adding an infobox, and fleshing out the basic details of the album.) aNode (discuss) 11:15, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
a) WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS; following policy, I would suggest that the above articles should go to AfD as well, and based on the outcome of this discussion, I may nominate them.
b) None of the above absolves the article subject from the requirement of demonstrating notability in the form of charting or reviews; that holds for stubs as much as for more developed articles. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:54, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I guess your point makes sense for (a). But my main point still stands for (b), where notability may not be demonstrated right now, but in the future there may be significant coverage for the topic subject. aNode (discuss) 13:27, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But we don't really pitch on that count - for the reason that it would more or less obviate any notability criteria if you could say "but this might become notable in the future". We decide on current notability, and current notability only. There's nothing stopping you from keeping this article (or those articles) in draft space, pending future sufficient coverage, but until that is shown, it should not be in article space. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:51, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure there's much notability in this specific tournament (minuscule number of hits based on a cursory search, and very brief mentions at that) - the article as it stands now is largely rubbish anyway, with nary a citation save links to websites of schools that serve no real function.

  • Keep. The debate does have an extensive article on it in the Toronto Star (which is a major newspaper) as can be seen by this article Speaking Their Way To Victory. And it is reasonable to guess that it has coverage of non-english press newspapers is there too given that is bound to happen when a country wins the debate. In addition, the East is getting more Westernized given the internet and other global communication so the popularity of debates will probably increase (and the West is bound to get more Easternized due to globalization too).Knox490 (talk) 23:11, 4 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Busker, you mean the debate competition, not the debate. Also, the so-called 'extensive' news link you cited is firstly NOT from Toronto Star, but The Star (Malaysia). Anyway it's far from extensive, more of a 'by the way' thing while trumpeting the success of so-and-so MY team. Even if it were extensive, one source simply does not suffice. The rest of your argument can be discredited for being hinged on conjecture - pray dig up some of these "non-english" coverage? A poor defence of a poorly-written article.

Non-notable individual lacking in-depth, non-trivial support. References are quotes or examples of articles written by subject. reddogsix (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support came from citing Inc Magazine which called his company the 17th fastest growing company in United States. Seems notable to me, though the page needs more in depth coverage I think I did a decent start. Also left comments on talk page and the edit history - just trying to add relevant pages but feels like someone doesn't want this page added for some motive of their own perhaps.

  • Delete: Even if appearance on a fastest-growing-company list was evidence of a company's notability (which usually isn't so in AfDs on companies), it would be WP:NOTINHERITED for biographical notability of anyone associated with the company.

Delete as prodder. Though I will admit, I can be convinced otherwise...if someone who speaks Spanish is able to find enough sources to establish notability I'm willing to change my vote. Having said that: a cursory search over on the Spanish Wikipedia finds evidence that this article was created eight times under various names, deleted each time, and salted twice. See here, here, and here for more details. Therefore I'd like to further suggest that if this is deleted, it be salted here as well, even though this is the first time it's been created here. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • That singer is the only young soprano from Ecuador, besides being a multiple artist (pianist, harpist, Ballet dancer and Salsa, composer of Pasillo ), the page was blocked in Spanish because the article was written by a novice who broke the Wikipedia rules
  • Comment: the three sources in the article are all reliable ones, from well-established Ecuadorean newspapers. The trouble is, the second one doesn't mention Ms Rosado at all in the text, it just shows a group photo which includes her. And I can't find anything more than the two other sources already mentioned in the article. So it really comes down to whether those two sources are enough to keep the article or not. Richard3120 (talk) 00:19, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Richard3120: Therein lies the rub. Running the articles through Google translate, it seems to me that they both tread over pretty much the same ground (please let me know if that's not the case). I'm a bit concerned about the fact that no other references turned up. Given how recent both sources are, I'm inclined to say that they aren't enough. They suggest that this might be a person who is notable in four or five years, but who hasn't hit the threshhold yet. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:47, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:JOURNALIST. Subject describes page as being created as a "birthday prank" by his friends. Madg2011 (talk) 20:57, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This was created as a genuine factual article, not a "prank," has been sourced, and does not slander or mischaracterize the subject. Sourcing confirms subject is notable. Tweet from subject is clearly a request for removal of spam, which has been cleaned up. Audiovideodiscoo (talk) 21:06, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sourcing/mischaracterization of subject aren't issues at hand - notability is. The article makes two claims to notability:
  • that McElroy has "received multiple national and provincial journalism awards"
  • that McElroy has received praise from columnists Heather Mallick and Colby Cosh.
Neither of these is significant enough to demonstrate the notability of the subject. If you feel the awards make him notable, said awards should be discussed in the article, not just glossed over. Madg2011 (talk) 21:21, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Notability is based on his work having been discussed at length in national media. Multiple independent, reliable sources supporting this case for notability, beyond the two columns you mentioned are cited on the page, including international media and book sources. National awards, which have been cited, strengthen the case for notability, but journalism awards (outside of Pulitzers) do not usually generate public discussion; the works which receive the awards should be disucssed in the page instead. I encourage you to review other well-accepted Wikipedia journalist biographies, none of them focus on discussing industry awards. WP:JOURNALIST is a redirect to the "Creative professionals" criteria, which are not exhaustive, but include "widely cited by peers," which is clearly demonstrated here. I believe you may be citing Wikipedia:Notability (journalists), which is a failed proposal not to be used. Wikipedia consensus has been to review journalist biographies based on the subject's overall public profile, not on the highly specific list of criteria you appear to be referencing.Audiovideodiscoo (talk) 22:13, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I cited WP:JOURNALIST intentionally. Madg2011 (talk) 01:58, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not fail WP:JOURNALIST. "Prank" can mean an obviously facetious article or one created to libel a subject, so I clarified that was not the case here.

  • Delete total reference bomb, but none of the references deal with him or convey notability: the articles with his name are simply feeds of articles he's written. Not notable. SportingFlyer talk 22:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per SportingFlyer. 24.80.119.18 (talk) 23:12, 18 March 2018
  • Keep -- Re: SportingFlyer: the following references are significant discussion of the subject and his work in independent, reliable media or coverage of significant awards, none are "feeds of the articles he's written," all are independently written by different people who are not the subject. Your comment is factually incorrect, please review the following and revise: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24. This more than meets WP:GNG. Yes, there are links within the article to the subject's own work, but these make up the minority of references and per WP:NNC references to a subject's own work in their biography are encouraged. Per WP:NRVE, a Wikipedia article's main purpose is not to bureaucratically argue for a subject's notability; notability is a characteristic of a subject, not an article. The majority of the deletion argument seems to be WP:JNN without actually reading any of the reasoning to the contrary.— Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Audiovideodiscoo (talkcontribs)
Would argue that the anon supporting SportingFlyer should not be counted as they can't be pinged to review documentation and they based their opinion entirely on SportingFlyer's incorrect summary. WP:PERX Audiovideodiscoo (talk) 00:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you just referenced bombed the AfD, so I had to go through all of the references again. He created a twitter contest, which doesn't actually make him notable per Wikipedia. 5-17 are all about those, with the exception of 9, which is a podcast he wrote. 1 appears to be a large book about student life at UBC which I doubt gets him to WP:GNG. 2-4 are about a minor award he won - other people on the staff also won the award. The remainder are a mishmash of rankings he's done, podcasts, and talks he's given. There's nothing here that's actually about him other than a twitter contest he ran once, which on its own would fail WP:BLP1E. There's really nothing of substance here at all. Non-notable journalist per WP:JOURNALIST. SportingFlyertalk 05:32, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment you've also now voted twice, it appears from the history. SportingFlyer talk 05:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your first comment appears to have been written without even a cursory check of the references in the article, so I copied a list of references not written by the article subject (your original contention) for convenience. I'm not sure why you keep using the word "bomb." Per WP:NOPE, notability is not a judgement of the merit of someone's work, it's determined by level of coverage by reliable independent sources. You may think someone's work is silly or dislike that it was also discussed on Twitter, but the level of in-depth coverage from a wide cross-section of Canadian media this subject has received, which is clearly demonstrated in the above sources, meets WP:GNG and WP:JOURNALIST. (I would also like to argue that creating a Canada-specific project which received engagement from 400,000 people, more than 1% of Canada's entire population, speaks to notability, though this does not directly address a journalist-specific criterion.) There are also citations for four different significant awards, two of which were awarded solely to the article subject. The remainder of the references I posted were additional independent articles from reliable, independent Canadian media about the article subject and other works he authored. (To point out another inaccuracy in your summary, 9 was not a podcast written by the article subject, but a prominent Canadian radio program produced by other, independent sources). (It's really disingenuous to first dismiss some of the media coverage of the subject surrounding one particularly prominent project as WP:BLP1E, and then go on to dismiss other media coverage about the subject's other actions as "a mishmash." By your logic, every article on Wikipedia is either WP:BLP1E or "a mishmash" and therefore not notable.) I would also urge you to remember WP:POLL, AfD is not a vote and "tallying" is not constructive. Finally, please remember that nearly all precedent for deletion under WP:JOURNALIST is for journalist puff pages where there is no sourcing available outside the article subject's own work, which is obviously not the case here.Audiovideodiscoo (talk) 07:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to familiarise yourself with WP:BOMBARD. If I've miscategorized any, I apologize, but I really do not see anything which makes him independently notable. I'll also need to see evidence of your precedent regarding journalist notability as I've seen a few journalist AfDs with delete outcomes recently. SportingFlyer talk 02:15, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can do much better than this. There are potentially valid notability claims here, but they're not being reliably sourced: the reference pool here depends far too strongly on pieces of his own writing (a person gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of sources written by other people, not the bylined author of reliable source coverage of other things), primary sources that cannot assist notability at all, and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things. And Audiovideodiscoo's pile of additional sources above are not an improvement: most of them represent the exact same kinds of bad sources, and the ones that don't are still press releases from organizations he's directly affiliated with, WorldCat directory entries which do not count as evidence of notability, and blogs or podcasts. None of them represent "substantive coverage about him in reliable sources that are independent of him", which is what WP:GNG requires — referencing an article to Wikipedia's satisfaction is not just a matter of finding any web page that happens to support the content you want to find a reference for. Only certain specific types of sources (namely media coverage about him) count as support for notability, and there's a specific minimum number of such sources that have to be shown before he's got enough, and there's a specific minimum depth of about-him-ness that a source has to surpass before it's about him enough to count toward that number. And none of the sources, either in the article or in the pile of additional sources shown above, are meeting all of the required standards. Bearcat (talk) 19:59, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Being the youngest person (or the youngest African American person) to hold an otherwise non-notable office is not in and of itself an inclusion freebie that exempts a person from having to clear our regular notability standards. But being deputy chair of a political party is not an automatic WP:NPOL pass, and the sourcing here isn't strong enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu: it's heavily dependent on primary sources rather than reliable ones, all but one of the reliable ones represent local coverage that would merely be expected to exist, and the only one that's more than local isn't covering him in a noteworthy context. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do much better than this, but if I were to actually strip all the ineligible sources that can't actually be used as support for notability, there wouldn't be enough left to make the article keepable.

WP:BLP of a person whose main claim of encyclopedic notability is being an as yet unelected candidate in a forthcoming election. As always, this is not a notability claim that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself -- if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that she was already notable enough for a Wikipedia article before standing as an election candidate, then she has to win the seat, not just run for it, to become notable as a politician. But this does not properly demonstrate that she has preexisting notability for other reasons: apart from the campaign-related coverage itself, this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary sources (e.g. the self-published websites and press releases of organizations she's been directly involved with, pieces of her own writing, etc.) and glancing namechecks of her existence as a provider of soundbite in articles about other things, not to coverage about her. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day if she wins, but nothing here entitles her to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime. Update: I'm also comfortable with the userfy alternative proposed below, if consensus leans that way. Bearcat (talk) 18:12, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for the above reasons. I have checked the impressive array of references and agree with Bearcat's assessment: There's some coverage of her candidacy, usually in local news, several sources that don't meet our standards of reliability and independence, and a few name-drops. Unelected candidates are generally not notable, and there's no indication that Cruz is. If we had an article on the New York State Assembly election we could redirect thereto, but we don't. Huon (talk) 19:23, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for the above reasons. At first glance this article looks like it might meet GNG because there are so many sources. However, upon closer examination, these sources do not establish notability because none of them are independent reliable sources that give her significant coverage (and I couldn't find any). The majority of the sources contain the same trivial, passing information regarding her candidacy. The article has been recently tweaked to focus on activism but there's nothing out there aside from local articles mentioning her in passing. Ca2james (talk) 20:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Userfy per nom as well as: "Candidates who ran but never were elected for a national legislature or other national office are not viewed as having inherent notability and are often deleted or merged into lists of campaign hopefuls." (from WP:POLOUTCOMES). There are notable reliable sources on this topic, so I'd support condensing it into the article about the election she is running in. Support userfying until election results.

  • Keep This AfD is a retaliatory action made by Huon. He has been clear about that but it doesn't make it any less of a retaliatory action. This is not acceptable behavior no matter how much he tries to justify it on the Talk page.
I went to the #Wikipedia-en-help IRC channel for assistance on some disambiguation questions. Beyond the fact that only half of my questions were answered, with me repeating the questions more than once, Huon did not focus on the question. Instead he took it upon himself to over-step and fixate on notability. This precedence of "dinging" editors (newbie or experienced editors like myself) by not answering their questions but instead attacking the article is unacceptable. It inhibits people from asking questions. I know I will NEVER use the IRC channel. Huon by his actions has proven it is a place of retaliation. It is not a safe space to learn and ask questions. I used to always recommend the IRC channel to new editors. I think it's clear that it is absolutely the WORST place for both new editors and experienced editors alike. So that is the background of this action here. And it is pretty clear that most of the commenters here are friends with Huon. So that is another issue that is also not okay. Beyond the fact that when I did not agree with Huon's edits on the entry's Talk page, Huon threatened to AfD the article. Which he did. MORE retaliatory behavior. All of these unethical decisions, it is why contributing editors such as myself who actually add content versus deleting and admin-ing have such a hard time. And editor retention is low. So great job of fulfilling that remit. You have succeeded.
As far as this article, specifically, it seems that no one has evaluated the article accurately. I reworked the article significantly this afternoon, which I think made it even better at establishing notability. Cruz has established a very long-term focus on immigration rights at a very visible high level. She has worked with Cuomo and has developed an expertise in immigration reform that comes from her also notable experience as a DREAMer who is unique because she has had this successful career (and is only 35) but also because she is a DREAMer running for public office this fall.
As far as the citations go, 20 citations have survived Ca2james typical nitpicking and unconstructive uncollaborative approach to editing. All he does is delete versus adding and improving content. In the process he deleted 10 citations. 10! 10 carefully curated citations that supported notability of the subject. I build this page carefully and there were 30 citations, now only 20. He took one third of the citations off the page. How on earth is that improving Wikipedia?!? He is a menace. So thanks for that.
But really the assessment that the citations are not about Cruz are the problem. The assessment reflects a bias against Spanish-language sources. El Diario is not notable? El Espectador, the largest newspaper in Colombia, is not notable? NY1 is not notable, when it is at the forefront of state and local politics. For that matter, the local Queens newspaper sources are all notable, but then again if you don't take the time to do due diligence on this you wouldn't know that. You are all wrong here, and haven't watched the video interviews and read the cover story because they are in Spanish. This is a multi-lingual area of Queens, one of the most diverse boroughs, especially in the region where Cruz lives. It would be incorrect to not include both English and Spanish sources. This is clear. The statements above reflect clear bias against a multi-lingual set of citations. I live in NYC. I know these sources are the local news sources that cover both state and local politics. So it's clear that editors here lack that ability to see this.
I have no expectation this article will survive AfD but the subject is notable and I have done my job. She will win the election -- an 'actual election not the jive district no election current situation -- and in the fall I will be restoring this entry.
Also, Ca2james needs to stop stalking my edits and harassing me. It is unacceptable behavior and he refuses to stop. It is personal and the free digital labor I am contributing at great time and effort is being attacked out of bounds to acceptable behavior. It causes me great stress and the end result is he weakens articles and doesn't make any attempt to collaborate or work with anyone except himself. I have asked him to stop and he won't. It needs to stop. He needs to work on other pages and stop fixating on the work I am doing. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It appears the nominator of the AfD is someone I am confident had nothing to do with the editing dispute you had with the page, as they frequently AfD articles about politicians who do not pass WP:NPOL, or who do not appear to pass WP:NPOL. No one is arguing for not including Spanish-language sources: simply, Wikipedia only includes politicians who have won an election or politicians who otherwise pass WP:GNG. Cruz does not pass WP:GNG yet by my estimation, and she has not won her seat yet; therefore, this article is WP:TOOSOON. SportingFlyer talk 05:43, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Huon was not the nominator here; I was. And yes, of course the article can be recreated if and when she wins — if that happens, then her notability claim will obviously have changed. Wikipedia deletion discussions are not so much a matter of never, as of not yet: a person whose article was previously deleted can absolutely be recreated in the future if and when they have a stronger notability claim than they did the first time, such as a candidate who goes on to actually win the election in the end. But we don't keep an article about a not yet elected candidate just because somebody predicts that she'll win — per WP:CRYSTAL, we keep or delete articles on the basis of what's already true today, not on the basis of predictions about what might become true in the future. If she doesn't already satisfy a notability standard today, then we delete the article today and then permit recreation if and when things change. Bearcat (talk) 17:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - As there is a good chance of this subject winning election in the fall, if this closes a Delete I would favor the content being userfied to the creator so that they may continue to work on the piece. Carrite (talk) 06:15, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did an advanced search for this article name on all namespaces (excluding File and File Talk) and there are two other versions of this article: one in Draft space that was twice rejected and one in User space. It's unclear whether the mainspace article was based on the Draft article, but it appears that the user space version was copied and pasted from a version of the mainspace article (which will create an attribution/history/copyright problem if that article is later moved to mainspace). I'm not sure what should happen with the other versions of the mainspace article but thought I should bring it up for the closer to deal with. I do support userification if the outcome here is Delete. Ca2james (talk) 17:02, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep On behalf User Group Wikimedians of Colombia, and the Chapter-to-be Wikimedia Colombia, we support keeping the article. We are very worry about the deletion of this well documented article of a relevant woman. Measuring relevance of underrepresented people, as woman, DREAMers or Latinos is not easy, because their voices has being invisibilized; What Catalina Cruz represent is very important, and that's why she notably appeared in some of the most widespread newspapers in Colombia, so reliable sources. As an example of what a DREAMer, a woman and a latina can do in politics, this article should be keeped. Do not invisiblize Catalina. --Sahaquiel9102 (talk) 15:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia does not keep inadequately sourced articles about people who haven't passed a notability standard just because they happen to be members of underrepresented groups — whether people deserve more coverage than they're getting or not, it is not our role to help them rectify that by creating special carve-outs from our inclusion standards just because of a person's gender or sexuality or ethnic background. Our notability standards for politicians require the holding of office, not mere candidacy for it, and nothing else here would have gotten her a Wikipedia article before becoming a candidate — and the Colombian media coverage still has to clear the same standards as the New Yorkian media coverage: one of them is just candidacy-related coverage that doesn't help get a candidate over GNG in and of itself, and in the other one she's merely quoted as a giver of soundbite in an article about something other than her, so those aren't notability-boosting sources. Bearcat (talk) 17:36, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It would be great if you stopped displaying your cultural bias here, Bearcat. The article is very adequately sourced. She meets notability. The Colombian newspaper is the largest paper in Colombia, and was a cover story. The other Spanish-only language articles support notability, as does the extensive and long NY1 Spanish language TV interview. Cruz has an established history as an immigration activist, which is supported by citations. She worked for Cuomo multiple times, was the person who implemented the identification card system in New York City. If anything the article is over-sourced. This is an obvious vendetta against articles about people who are seeking election. It is fine if that is what this is, but the cultural bias represented here -- with possible shades of being against the article because she is a woman too -- is wrong. And the false accusation this article is not properly sourced is patently inaccurate. It is obvious that this collective in concert effort will delete the page but let's not be inaccurate or disingenuous about what is happening here. This article meets notability. It has 30 good citations. More than most starting articles. I won't sit here and let this mischaracterization of the creation of this article stand. And yes, this is a hostile approach to editing. If I was a new editor I wouldn't continue editing. Hide behind your WIKI:Rulez all you want but this so-called work all of you are doing is not helping the editing community and it is definitely not helping to improve diversity on Wikipedia. Don't hide behind that here. It's inaccurate. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 20:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am displaying no cultural bias whatsoever, and neither do I hold women to a different notability standard than I hold men. Nowhere did I say that the language of a source is relevant to whether it supports notability or not. For one thing, I use other-language sources all the damn time myself when I can find appropriate ones that properly support notability — I've used Spanish and French and German language sources myself on numerous occasions, in fact. What makes the Colombian sources a problem is not that they're in Spanish, it's that one of them is directly candidacy-related while the other one just namechecks her existence in an article that isn't about her. And no, a man wouldn't get an article just for being a candidate in an election either. There is no bias here on my part — I performed a good faith evaluation of the sources, and found them lacking. They are not demonstrating her preexisting notability as an immigration activist, because all of the sources for that content are either primary sources or glancing namechecks of her existence in coverage of other things — the sources here that are both reliable and substantively about her exist exclusively in the context of an election campaign she hasn't won yet, which is a context where the routine coverage that is merely expected to exist for all candidates does not aid passage of GNG. That is not how you demonstrate a candidate as notable enough, regardless of the candidate's gender or ethnic background. There is no bias involved, because a white man who was sourced the same way wouldn't get a keep vote from me either. Bearcat (talk) 21:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Cruz is far below the threshold for notability. I would also point out that the article can be highly questioned on use of language that is hardly NPOV. Lastly, the role of Wikipedia is not to right great wrongs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:20, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as is consistent with other candidates for office who did not previously have a claim to notability. It is disturbing that claims of notability are being made based on gender, race, ethnicity, and country of origin. None of these are things that should be even considered when assessing notability. It also does not matter that she worked with Governor Cuomo, since notability is WP:NOTINHERETED--Rusf10 (talk) 21:35, 24 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see how this comes anywhere near passing WP:CORP. It deals in art and limited-edition design, and takes its wares to various art fairs; it's had some coverage for that.

Minimally sourced article about a band whose only claim of notability is that they released their debut EP a few months ago. As always, every band is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article the moment they've put out an EP -- WP:NMUSIC requires two full-length albums, not just one EP, before the existence of their music becomes a notability claim in and of itself. The article doesn't state or source anything that would pass any of NMUSIC points #2-12, so the only one in play here is #1 -- but with just two short blurbs, one of which is on a user-generated "anybody can submit anything about anyone" blog platform, there aren't enough quality sources being shown to pass NMUSIC #1.

No indication that this term is in common use - ghits tend to be accidentally adjacent words, not this term. No sources provided. Was PRODded as "No sources, no context. This just lists information that would fall under the umbrella of wealth geography, but does nothing to explain the field." dePRODded on the basis that " All issues raised can be addressed by expert editors." Until such an "expert editor" comes along to create this article with sources and useful content, this article is not an asset to the encyclopedia. PamD 15:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments from nominator
  1. It might be that this topic is part of some existing "xxx geography" discipline, and needs to be redirected there with mention of this new term. With luck someone from the Geography Wikiproject will be able to sort this out, if appropriate.
  2. If this article is not deleted, it should be moved to "Wealth geography", small "g".

  • Keep I have just encounted this on today's AfD so did a quick check on the copyvio claim. The article dates back to 2006 and much of the core prose is largely unchanged in that time. Looking on waybackmachine for the supposed copied site here, it only has records from 2014 onwards, with the first versions of the page being nothing like the article. Only in latter versions from 2016 onwards does the correlation between the two become apparent, and thus it's reasonable to assume based on this that it may be been copied from wikipedia, as opposed to wikipedia. A site that matches a suspected copyvio can't and should not always been assumed to be one way. If the AfD is weighted in this argument alone, it may be void unless further evidence to the contrary can be found. It can't be ruled out that it may have been copied from elsewhere at some point in time, but there is nothing to suggest that has been the case either. Bungle (talkcontribs) 15:32, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This starts by telling us that "Joshua Lee Axe (born August 18 1981) is an American physician." His own website makes no such claim. He "also founded one of the most visited natural health website in the world at dr.axe.com [sic], which has over 15 million monthly visitors" -- a claim that's sourced to [can you guess?] draxe.com. This website isn't so notable that Wikipedia has any article about it.

Axe is a businessman in the "detoxing" and related industries. Dribs and drabs about him suggest that he's making a good living at this. But the sources don't seem to add up to notability. -- Hoary (talk) 13:41, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article was moved to Josh Axe (doctor), which is not only an unnecessary redirect -- since there is no other article "Josh Axe ()" to be disambiguated from -- but is also an attempt to create greater notability for the individual.

Minor is notable as a scientist and as part of the "Hidden Figures" phenomenon that was widespread in the US in the 60s and 70s.

This was proposed for speedy deletion as purely promotional (G11). This was the nominator's (Jytdog) note:

"yet more promotion by the Cornell Food and Brand Lab; see also Smarter Lunchroom Movement and Consumer Education Foundation. See also what happened in 2017 with six retracted papers and 14 corrections issued after lab was found to be rampantly p-hacking and then hyping their papers, with stuff exactly like this page, in retraction watch here and this buzzfeed story. Wikipedia has been thoroughly abused."

I don't disagree that the article merits scrutiny, but I suspect it would be better to get a little more input than (in effect) the opinion of the speedy nominator and the deciding admin, so I'm putting it up for discussion.

It's true that Wansink and his lab are very much up for playing the promo game, apparently even including compromising the results (appropriately they've been having a hot 18 months of it; see the above links). But it should be noted that this study in particular has, to my knowledge, not been called into question yet. Hence I don't think one could go after the article from a bad/fraudulent science angle. Is the study notable? For what it's worth, I believe it has received enough demonstrable secondary coverage to qualify for an article. Is the article too promotional? Hard to say; I would lean No, seeing as various comments and criticisms are dealt with in the "Effectiveness" section. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:18, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I went in planning on cleaning up the puffery, resume, and promo cruft from this autobiography, but in my effort to verify claims, I realized there wasn't much of anything here. I can't find any evidence of the Hilton Edwards Award (either his award, or the award itself).

The Hilton Edwards Award is given out at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. The online archives of the festival are indeed patchy, and skip several years of the awards (http://www.gaytheatre.ie/?s=hilton+edwards). The opera in fact won when it was performed at the James Joyce Centre in 2013.
The article in The Independent is more than a passing mention, as it reviews The Francis Bacon Opera positively alongside Ravel's established masterpiece 'L'enfant et les sortilèges', and is included in the headline of that article. The wiki entry does not claim that Crowe is, himself, the "Future of new opera", but mentions that his work has been referred to as part of that.
'OPERA' magazine was described by the Daily Telegraph as ‘the bible of the industry', so a positive review there is notable- particularly among living composers. The other Art (This is Tomorrow) and Theatre (Exeunt) publications, while perhaps not of the same standing as OPERA, do reflect a broader recognition of Crowe's work.Stiggler (talk) 19:56, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Szzuk On that basis the Wiki article on Anders Behring Breivik would have been deleted -but that article in fact has evolved over time and is still being edited in the last month: and spun off other pages like Trial_of_Anders_Behring_Breivik.

This one was unique and sensational in that it targeted young children in a very direct way but I do not see it, based on current reporting, as 'one for the textbooks'. If there is reporting beyond the initial sensationalism or if later investigation shows it to be a new ISIS strategy, then it would merit an article. As it stands it is a horrific story but not of encyclopedic notability.

Jbh 'Dime a dozen' you say? 'One unique thing' you say? Looking at List of people convicted under Terrorism Acts in the United Kingdom, suggests by it's shortness that dime a dozen is not accurate, wouldn't you say?CanterburyUK (talk) 21:42, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I am just jaded. I have, literally, two books filled with people convicted and suspected of terrorism - and that just goes up to 2008. The revised version is five volumes. (See: Edward F. Mickolus, Susan L. Simmons: The Terrorist List [5 volumes] (Praeger Security International) Abc-clio, 2011, ISBN ISBN 978-0313374715)
As to 'one-unique thing' most of these self-radicalized plots follow a similar trajectory and from my reading this one was no different until you get to the kids. There was a long term attempt to spread the radicalization (and possibly the conspiracy) to young children. That has not, to my knowledge, been seen in the West. If the case is going to be studied for anything it will be that but until more information comes out we will not know. Maybe they will find ISIS documents suggesting this - like the call to use cars. Then again it might simply be a case of child abuse ie he had access to the kids and roped them into his perversion because he had access ie it was opportunistic rather than strategic. If it was strategic then the case will be covered beyond the 'Oh my God! The children!' burst of press coverage.
I can see how this could come to justify an article, more on the plot than the person, but the coverage is just not there right now. Jbh Talk 22:15, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLPCRIME not an issue as PERP was convicted. The crimes themselves are clearly notable per WP:NCRIME given the level of coverage.

I've just looked at NCRIME and it says we need a 'historic' crime with enduring coverage (notnews), so he fails NCRIME in my opinion. He could still be included according to GNG but the whole article is about his crime from what I can tell so there are no sources to support GNG. You've linked to wp:diverse and wp:indepth which are in the 'Notability Events' guidelines so i'm not sure how they are connected? Szzuk (talk) 16:04, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTNEWS is for really routine stuff (sports announcement and the weather) - not attempting to raise an army of children in London.WP:NCRIME actually does not state "historic" crime with enduring coverage - however WP:EVENTCRIT (which NCRIME is part of) - does. Per WP:RAPID - we are unable at this time to assess future coverage to assess historicity. We do however have wide, international, multi-lingual coverage of this crime - and no reason to assume such coverage will cease, therefore we should err on the side of retaining the article (on the assumption coverage will continue).Icewhiz (talk) 16:13, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
NCRIME says and I quote The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual—or has otherwise been considered noteworthy—such that it is a well-documented historic event. Generally, historic significance is indicated by sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources which persists beyond contemporaneous news coverage and devotes significant attention to the individual's role. I think that is a definite fail there. I think you want to keep on the basis of WP:RAPID that more information may come to light. It isn't impossible there are more crimes from him to come that may tip this into 'Historic' event crime, but I'm doubtful. (I will update my usage of notnews). Szzuk (talk) 16:51, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Szzuk, with regard to Wikipedia:Notability (events), under which WP:NCRIME falls, it is routine to KEEP NOTABLE events quickly, sometimes even the day they occur. Editors routinely start articles on notable crimes soon after they happen, take a look at Category:2018 crimes by month. It is only necessary that the crime pass WP:GNG. Guidelines like WP:NCRIME are subsidiary to WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Of course the article covers WP:RAPID as well. Clearly should be kept.BabbaQ (talk) 17:52, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The coverage is following a typical 'flash' cycle - some initial coverage "Umar%20haque" around Jan 17 when the case was heard, followed by lots of coverage a huge burst of coverage right around March 3 when the verdict come out. That is pretty much the typical "relatively short news cycle" referred to by PERSISTENCE and unless we see some significant coverage outside those time frames it fails that criteria. RAPID anticipates that PERSISTENCE will be met but, even a mere couple of weeks on, it is apparent that it has not. Therefore keeping the article under RAPID is not appropriate although I have no objection to is being saved as a draft which is a recommended alternative to deletion.

  • Continuing to expand article, as coverage continues and impact emerges.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    When I first saw your changes this morning, particularly the Independent quote. I thought to myself 'OK, now I can change to Keep'. Then I read the articles and saw they were just one line mentions. What I, personally, would like to see to show this has 'continuing coverage' is at least one source from outside the 'flash converge' time that would be considered significant coverage per GNG ie several paragraphs addressing him and the plot and providing analysis and/or contextualization of the plot. That last part is, for me, very important. Above, I mentioned that the lasting impact of this plot will likely hinge on whether it was opportunistic or strategic. Expanding on that we might see lasting impact if it changes government policies towards Islamic schools beyond the immediate rhetorical cries for 'something to be done'. We could also see lasting impact if this is the genesis of similar attacks or for calls by AQ et.al. or ISIS et.al. to target children in a similar manner. Jbh Talk 14:29, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We are outside of the time frame where RAPID would apply. RAPID envisions "…a few days to avoid the deletion debate dealing with a moving target and to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge"(emp mine) not weeks. It also applied to hasty nominations and is not an argument for keeping an article in and of itself. Even with the dozens of articles published we have, really, only a few bare facts about him and the crime. Once the Charity Commission's report comes out there likely be more information.
In any case, I could support an article/stub on the plot/crime itself, under NCRIME, easier than I could support an article on the individual, under CRIME. (The requirement for sustained coverage in CRIME is baked in but NCRIME allows for 'media frenzy' to confer notability on the event. This would also be a textbook case of NEVENT#3.4.) In the case of focusing on the event rather than the person there is not really any meat to the coverage and, in my opinion, it would be most appropriate for it to be a simple stub.

  • Delete. As usual, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they haven't won yet: if you cannot demonstrate and properly source that they already cleared a notability standard for some other reason before they were candidates, then they have to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as politicians. Obviously the article can be recreated on or after election day if she wins, but nothing stated or sourced here entitles her to already have an article today.

  • Delete. Zero mentions at Google News. Must be an unpopular candidate. -- Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The election campaign hasn't started yet. Coverage of candidates will obviously start occurring once the writ gets dropped, and still won't constitute a WP:GNG pass in and of itself for a candidate who wasn't already notable for other reasons — but its lack of existence as of today isn't evidence of a candidate's popularity or lack thereof, because the campaign kickoff is still a couple of months away. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete being a candidate is not grounds for notability. If what Bearcat says is true "the election campaign hasn't started yet", it is not even clear she will actually be a candidate.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, the fact that the election writ hasn't been dropped yet doesn't mean the parties aren't already selecting their candidates, and one of the primary sources here plainly verifies that she's been selected as a candidate. I was merely responding to the notion that her "popularity" as a candidate was relevant to whether this should be kept or deleted — being a candidate is not in and of itself grounds for an article regardless of "popularity" or lack thereof, but it's not a question of her status as a candidate being an unverifiable assumption.

I thought about just merging and redirecting as I did a few of the related articles, but there is no point to a redirect. This foundation is utterly un-notable and I doubt there would even be an article if not for people apparently from the lab creating it. Jytdog (talk) 18:53, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. One of the two references is an interview with Brian Wansink in the San Diego Union Tribune. It's not a problem that it's via the WaybackMachine, but the interview mentions the article subject very much in passing; so much so that the interviewer states, "With characteristic modesty, he [Wansink] failed to mention that, in 1999, he founded the Wansink Consumer Education Foundation". That is the entire mention of the CE foundation: the interviewer making the point that the foundation was not mentioned during the interview. I don't have access to the other reference offered, an unlinked article from the Omaha World-Herald. If the paper's archives are not online (which seems likely from their website), perhaps the editor who added the reference could put a relevant quote in the footnote? But unless that's a lot better (source-wise) than the Tribune interview, I stand by my "Delete". No depth of coverage. Bishonen | talk 12:26, 23 March 2018 (UTC).[reply]

Blatant academic spam, mostly sourced to press releases and other SPS, created by aWP:SPA editor who has done nothing but dump garbage like this into our beautiful project. There could perhaps be an article on this, but this is industrial waste. Jytdog (talk) 02:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The last six references are from reliable sources. The topic seems notable. Eastmain (talkcontribs) 02:43, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It may be notable but it would have to be completely rewritten to not be an advertisement. Your removal of the speedy tag, cursory editing, and !vote here leave pollution in Wikipedia. Does "inclusionism" really mean including garbage? Does your vision of a national park include oozing barrels of industrial waste?
This is pure, disgusting hard selling by people promoting the "so-called "movement" -- "The movement has received coverage by major media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Huffington Post and NPR[8][9][10] and has inspired changes at local, corporate and legislative levels."
The civil rights movement was a movement. The title, that sentence, and most of the rest, is putrid marketing dumped into Wikipedia. Disgusting. Jytdog (talk) 05:27, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About the "see below" - the research hyped in the NPR and WSJ refs is from a lab that had six papers retracted and 13 or 14 corrections issued after the lab was found to be p hacking and otherwise skewing their data to generate papers, that they then excelled in hyping. See retraction watch here and this buzzfeed story.
So what are the putative great refs here to even try to build an article with, if somebody felt like carting out the industrial waste and trying to make an actual WP article here? Jytdog (talk) 05:54, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- "Local university thing" is a hitherto unheard-of criterion for deletion but, regardless, it must yield to the GNG. And this subject passes it easily. It's got sufficient national and regional coverage. Just see [8] and [9]. And maybe in the future nom will stick to already discovered criteria for deletion. 192.160.216.52 (talk) 13:37, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We have almost always deleted articles on events such as these, using a relatively strict interpretation of the necessary sourcing. the sourcinghere is jsut that: the Huff Post is unreliable for notability, not bering underconsistent editorial control. Local newspapers alwaysreport colelge events, and are therefore indisriminate. DGG ( talk ) 02:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to establish WP:Artist. The references all link to a personal website via archive.org.
