No evidence of notability, does not meet WP:GNG. Previously deleted by PROD by GB fan with the concern I think this is an example of a small non-notable television station. google news comes up with absolutely zero results, and I cant find anything else in a normal google search except the standard directory listings which do not contribute to notability.. I believe that this concern stands for the recreated article as well. signed, Rosguill talk 23:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That guideline says that notability is assumed for television stations that create their own original content. However, I see no evidence that this station creates original content. I think that we can consider redirecting to the station's owner (and the presumed producer of its content), Daystar (TV network). signed, Rosguill talk 23:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No coverage in independent reliable sources. Even if we were to ignore concerns of reliability and independence, I don't think that the sources cited by this article come anywhere close to having enough coverage to justify an article. Mortal Engines may be notable, but notability is not inherited. Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NBOOK.

  • Merge to The Unknown Child, along with Sidney Leslie Goodwin (the other candidate for this body, covering the same issue). Multiple books. Multiple NEWSORG covering this. The identity of the youngest of the bodies recovered from the Titanic has been a long-running mystery - being covered in-depth over the period of over a century. This then led to a DNA based search which led to the identification of the corpse to this individual. Now - the individual himself (a 13-month old baby) is not notable. The process of identification and the mystery - was. In a sense - this similar to Mummy Juanita or Ötzi (in a more modern incarnation) - just that we have identifications.Icewhiz (talk) 09:58, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to The Unknown Child, per Icewhiz suggestion. While he has not received much coverage himself (outside the sinking of Titanic), the debate on The Unknown Child seem clearly notable. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 16:41, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – Students need better wiki training; the exact same thing that will get you Honors props in college or a fellowship afterward (e.g., completely original work that breaks new ground) is completely off-limits here, and some of the students, perhaps understandably, have difficulty understanding the difference. For those interested in previous history of the article, it can be viewed here. Mathglot (talk) 04:03, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as unambiguous WP:PROMO. Additionally, it's difficult to take the argument about "information that's not coming from Talend website" at face value, given that an admitted company employee has been reverting efforts to remove content like "In today’s increasingly data-driven world, most companies use data integration and management software like Talend to enable their digital transformation and manage their entire data ecosystem."

  • Delete For most publicly traded companies, it is easy to find evidence of notability. For Talend, this is not the case. — BillHPike (talk, contribs) 17:30, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I agree with BillHPike. There are lots of Google News hits and even some Google Books hits for Talend, but I couldn't find a single reliable third-party source that discusses the company in some detail. The best are some reports that discuss specific acquisitions, but that's just routine coverage that WP:CORPDEPTH explicitly does not consider helpful. Huon (talk) 21:27, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepA Wikipedia page about Talend is useful since it's an open source software. Over the past 4 days, I've removed non-verifiable information and added references to the existing page. The version available in talk should now meet Wikipedia standards. Regarding comments on notability from Huon and BillHPike, Talend is a public company, trading on Nasdaq with $150 Million revenue in 2017. The company gets regular coverage on the Wall Street Journal Forbes and international press like Le Monde.what would constitute evidence of notability? This page should not be deleted - especially when compared to pages from similar companies like SAP or IBM.

Whimsicaluser (talk) 18:18, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin: The above user, a disclosed Talend employee, has altered the substantive content of their previous comments and moved them to the bottom of the discussion. Bakazaka (talk) 18:58, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep To add further to notability Talend is regularly covered by independent third-party media like CNBC, Barrons, and software industry trade publications like Computerworld. A quick search of Google books also covers Talend Next-Generation Big Data: A Practical Guide to Apache Kudu, Impala and Spark, Big Data Governance: An Emerging Imperative and Data Governance Tools: Evaluation Criteria, Big Data Governance, and Alignment with Enterprise Data Management. Most of the edits suggested on the Talk page on November 30th help make the page a more useful entry on a notable public company that is a player in a market that is projected to grow to $9.8 billion in current U.S. currency from 2017 through 2022 IDC. Jake.spencer041 (talk) 19:19, 7 December 2018 (UTC) Jake.Spencer041 (talk)[reply]
  • Comment - regarding the presented sources, the WSJ is semi-helpful, Le Monde more so, but the others are interviews with the CEO (not independent coverage of the company), a kind of "case study" that doesn't discuss Talend the company in any detail, and books about their software that mention the company in passing at best. The Forbes piece is not by staff but by a "contributor", effectively a blogger hosted by Forbes but not under Forbes' editorial control; that's not a reliable source. Huon (talk) 22:40, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Looking for sources for this company was fascinating, there are so many PR-articles and stock reporting that it is difficult to find something useful. I initially thought this would be an easy Keep, but looking closer they all seem to be rehashed PR-statements or rehashed economic reports from the company. Even the WSJ article is mostly just restating information clearly coming directly from the company. The only article I can find that looks like independent journalism is the article in Le Monde[1]. Promotional tone is not a valid reason for deletion, but since the coverage in independent reliable sources seems to be so minimal (despite massive coverage in other types of sources) I think the article does not currently meet WP:GNG.

  • Comment Problem is that there is nothing to be merged here as it's a one sentenced unsourced article. At best this should be deleted and then redirected to it with just adding that it was formerly called as Crash Dummy vs The Evil D-Troit. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:10, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there's nothing to merge, then a merge result is effectively a redirect. This is why I ultimately chose merge over redirect, which was actually my first choice. I did end up copying some appropriate categories to the Cid article. The second sentence has no equivalent in the target article and could also potentially be merged. I'm not a fan of "delete and redirect" as an AFD result in general, and particularly here. That's for separate but related topics that are not themselves notable. This is the same topic.

Lacks the significant independent coverage to meet WP:GNG and also fails to meet any of the hockey notability criteria at WP:NHOCKEY. Being all-conference is not grounds for notability. He played only 104 games in the AHL, where he scored only 5 points, and then became an assistant or associate head coach at Army. None of these show notability.

  • Delete: An article on a local-market distributor needs to establish notability independently of the companies whose products it handles. The current article doesn't achieve that. Searches find an Africa Outlook profile piece built around quotes from the company's sales director. Although that might serve as a secondary supporting reference, I don't see it as sufficient for WP:CORPDEPTH. There is also a brief 2001 item about opposition to a development plan.

  • Delete I'm sure there's lots of other things she did in her life but it doesn't belong on Wikipedia if there are no good sources for it.

There is this after death bio from her workplace (page 8), but that doesn't establish notability. Doubtful that she was ever notable as a child actress. IMDB and wikipedia list the same two acting roles. Half of the actors on The New Adventures of Black Beauty don't have a wikipedia article and many of them probably had more roles than she did. It's safe to assume there's nothing to establish notability pre-internet just like there's nothing during the other half of her life and after death.

  • Keep and perhaps create a joint article with husband Arthur Larned Ryerson, the Ryerson (company), in their day known as Ryerson Steel. Article just need s sourcing. Our dysfunctional PRESENTISM leaves us with many articles like this one and Ryerson (company), we have a coverage deficit on historic manufacturing companies and on the families who owned America in the Gilded Age. It is highly improbable that any of the millionaires on the Titanic lack sufficient sources to support notability; what we lack are editors working on history articles. Moreover, having articles on Titanic survivors is user friendly. These articles get large numbered of page views, our readers want this sort of info to be here . they just do. They share this interest with the media, which runs stories on the Ryersons like this one Cooperstown has connection to the sinking of the Titanic .E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:29, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unsurprisingly, given the wealth, she continued to get press coverage for things like building a grand mansion, and having a dramatic wedding and second marriage. A very modest WP:HEY expanding article. Like many survivors, she got coverage for the rest of her life, much of it mentions that she was a a survivor. My argument is that when there is a lot of coverage it makes you notable, especially when some of it is related to an event with the kind of enduring public fascination that the Titanic still has.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:17, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer and political organizer, not properly sourced as notable. As always, writers and organizers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but the references here aren't cutting it in terms of getting him over WP:GNG: the media coverage here comprises glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things, not coverage about him, and the only references that are about him to any non-trivial degree are WP:PRIMARYSOURCES (e.g. an Instagram post).

I would not call some of the news coverage "glancing namechecks of his existence" - major news sources, including The Guardian, which is UK/Australia, devote several paragraphs to the activist group he co-founded, quote what Shahid has said, and comment on it.

  • One of the books is a very brief mention in a children's book; the other - see my comment below - is not INDEPENDENT.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:28, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Devoting paragraphs to the group is not the same thing as devoting paragraphs to him as an individual, and quoting what he has said does not contribute to notability at all. He has to personally be the subject of a source before it helps GNG. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In one of the books mentioned by User:RebeccaGreen, Shahid is definitely personally the subject of the chapter. I also think the articles cited are not only reliable WP:GNG but single him out personally as a leader who is notable figure in the movement (whether it be the organization he co-founded, or the organizations he helped 'organize'). I realize the articles aren't only about Shahid but are also about his (and others') activities, but the frequencies of the reports indicate to me that he is a notable individual and recognized by the media as such Perplextase (talk) 01:10, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but please look at comment below. The chapter/book seem not to be not WP:INDEPENDENT.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep I've removed the Instagram reference because it wasn't serving any purpose. He is referenced and written about in many sources, but I see what you mean: he is often cited as a spokesperson for a given campaign or organization, and usually the article is about that movement. There are other references, however, including bios, an interview, a book chapter, and articles devoting some personal time on him. I think the many articles referencing Shahid do demonstrate his notoriety. Rather than "glancing namechecks", they show the media consistently singles him out as notable (by not only taking his statement, but by reporting on what he tweets) [1] Perplextase (talk) 01:38, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • Keep While I agree with the nom that most of the citations are of insufficient depth, and that mere-mentions or quotes from him as a spokesperson do not constitute significant coverage, the book The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority appears to devote significant coverage to the subject in particular, and provides enough coverage to justify notability alongside the large quantity of more trivial coverage.striking vote per E.M.

  • Leaning Delete. A lot of brief mentions of this political campaign staffer doing ordinary campaign stuff, like founding a short-lived PAC, AllOfUs a stub that should probably be merged into Justice Democrats, as the PAC was. At a glance, The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority, the only INDEPTH source, looks like a strong source. Problem is that it is a compilation of D. D. Guttenplan's coverage of the 2016 campaign for The Nation. Waleed Shahid was also writing about that campaign for The Nation. It would be useful to see some SIGCOV of Shahid in a publication that Shahid doesn't work for.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:52, 15 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, looking closer, as Perplextase points our above, many of the hits merely quote him for the campaign or organization that he is a paid, professional spokesman for. This sort of citation does not support notability. The Guttenplan book, the only SIGCOV I can find, is not WP:INDEPENDENT Fails WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:32, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Many of the sources merely quote him (sometimes in his capacity as an official) but not all. There is SIGCOV which is independent from articles in the Gaurdian and from ABC -- WP:N specifies that the main subject of the article doesn't need to be the person in question. Is there some reason the Guttenplan book isn't considered independent? Perplextase (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Further, on account of WP:BIO I've reevaluated how non-trivial these references are, as Shahid is not trivially mentioned in these articles but rather referenced as a principal mover of the organization or movement in question (which are themselves the subjects of these articles). WP:BIO goes on to say that if the coverage is not in depth, then "then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability"; and AFAIK Shahid isn't professionally linked to CNN/ABC/Gaurdian/Intercept/WP or any of the others (while he is certainly linked to other not listed publications such as the Nation). Perplextase (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Perplextase, I am always willing to change my opinion when presented with persuasive evidence. If you have time, it might be useful if you would bring and "quote" on this page 4 or 5 of the most persuasive passages that you see as SIGCOV, with links to the articles. Yow are under no obligaiton to do so, of course, but it is the sort of thing that persuades other editors.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:08, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! Yes, so the persuasiveness of this evidence I think depends on how trivial the many small references to Shahid are. I think they're not trivial insofar as these articles in question concern directly, if not Shahid himself, the organizations he lead. Further substantiating Shahid's presence as a figure head for a given movement(s) and notable as such are some articles covering him including ABC and the Guardian. (And again I'm not sure why the book The New Republic is not independent SIGCOV). I realize you've requested quotes, but I find the snippets out of context to obscure the issue, but here are links I think demonstrate what I mean: abc and the guardian. I think this definition of non-trivial from WP:BIO is helpful too: "Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work, and how far removed that content is from a simple directory entry or a mention in passing ("John Smith at Big Company said..." or "Mary Jones was hired by My University") that does not discuss the subject in detail. " -- I think Shahid is closely related to the content of the published works, even when it's not his name or agency explicitly, and from WP:N: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. ". Perplextase (talk) 22:30, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note that book in question is entitled The Next Republic: The Rise of a New Radical Majority and is unrelated to The New Republic magazine.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:49, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I looked at the coverage in the ABC and Guardian sources and I came away knowing nothing about the person apart from the fact he is a muslim and feels frightened. Neither article says anything about him with the exception of these quotes and the fact that he is the co-founder of All of us. Neither article deemed it necessary to give any biographical information, there is nothing in-depth about the coverage of him.

Article fails WP:NSINGER so moved to draftspace as per WP:DRAFTIFY as an alternative to deletion after unreviewing as there seemed to have been an error and it should not have been reviewed as is. Article moved back without improvement or tagged as such by the original reviewer saying "take it to afd". they claim there are other sources out there but I could find nothing much to back up notabilty. The sources in the article are "Times of India" a passing mention, "First post" a passing mention, "Business standard" a very short WP:INTERVIEW picked up from a newsfeed with no analysis or thoughts from the unnamed interviwer (if there actually was one and not just rehashing what the subject sent in).

  • Comment- I don't understand from where the nominator is getting the idea that draftifying a non-notable singer is a good practice. If somebody is failing on WP:Notability (music) then they are a non-notable musician which is technically a junk per WP:DRAFTIFY. See criteria 1a. It should be AfDed or Speedied. We don't have to wait for them to get notable. If we do then we will have more drafts than articles because every hour there are at least two articles created about bands or other musicians. Reason for draftifying by the nominator was "The sources are way too weak to show she meets WP:NSINGER". That looked like backdoor mechanism to delete an article, avoiding contest or discussion because the nominator thinks that the topic is not at all plausibly notable. So I moved the article back and requested AfD with edit summary "Take it to AfD. Draftification is not a backdoor route to deletion. See WP:DRAFTIFY.". It was not just "take it to afd" as mentioned above by the nominator. More of the related discussion took place on my talkpage. I don't think it is relevant now as this is a deletion discussion. However, I am able to find significant coverage in multiple reliable sources in English as well as in Indian languages, such as this from Zee News and this from Dainik Bhaskar (non-english). I will present other sources later today as they need translation and I am in hurry now. Hitro talk 16:46, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify clearly states one of the reasons for moving it is "2a. The page is obviously unready for mainspace. It does not meet WP:STUB; or it would have very little chance of survival at AfD; or it meets any speedy deletion criterion." I have bolded it to make it clearer why I moved it to draft. Hope this helps explain why I think it would have been better to have it incubated. This was not a back door to deletion but an alternative to deletion. Dom from Paris (talk) 20:23, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is the winner of Mirchi Music Awards and her song from Bajirao Mastani (soundtrack) has been placed in rotation on a major radio station of India, Radio Mirchi and others. Ultimately, winning Mirchi Music Award for Upcoming Female Vocalist of The Year and the album went on to win Mirchi Music Award for Album of The Year. That is something for WP:NSINGER. It is not clear and obvious that this can be taken as little chance of survival at AfD Hitro talk 10:03, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This looks like meeting WP:GNG and WP:NSINGER. At least it's not among those with little chance of survival at AfD;, it does merit a discussion. Hitro talk 10:03, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As it was (and still is) the article would have stood little chance of surviving AFD hence the move to draftspace to allow time to improve it. Such a shame that rather than adding these sources or tagging for improvement you moved it back to mainspace with the comment Take it to AfD.

WP:POV. Things which "deserve to be remembered"? I don't think this is the right way to add thousands of potential new articles to enwiki, with all things which relate to a subject and which happened 25, 50, 100, 250, ... years ago. We have timelines of women's rights, and if 1919 is an especially noteworthy year for women's rights then a separate article for women's rights in 1919 might at a stretch be a good subject, but this? Please no.

As far as I can tell, we have no other articles in this format (not in itself a reason for inclusion or deletion, just information). Fram (talk) 14:06, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Fram. Good to see you are still interested in articles about women. I may well have moved this article into mainspace a little too soon. I am in the process of expanding it and would have liked to continue my work. It is a result of discussions on the main talk pages of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red and Wikipedia:WikiProject Women/Women in Green. There are, btw, similar pages, including 2019, November 30, etc. The year page was intended to be a basis for more detailed pages on the 12 months. We have many timelines of women but until now there have been no articles on the anniversaries to be commemorated. It seemed to me it was useful to bring them together and try to expand on events of 50, 100, 200 years ago, as well as on the dates of birth and death of famous women.--Ipigott (talk) 15:17, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An article like 2019 has information on events in 2019, not events from 1919, 1819, ... I don't think we need yet another way to group events together, based on the rather trivial commonality that they happened X years ago. There is only a trivial reason to link together events which happend 50, 100 and 200 years ago, they don't have more in common than events that happened 51, 103 and 207 years ago,so being an anniversary is a rather trivial intersection. The events in 1919 are in many cases related to each other (or have similar causes), but that should be treated in an article about 1919 (or about women's rights after WWI), not in an article about 2019. And we should never editorialize on what should be remembered, celebrated, ... Fram (talk) 15:30, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

From what you say, Fram, it seems to be the title that is bothering you most. Maybe it would go down better for a start as Women's events and developments in 1919. I must say, I am simply amazed at the lack of coverage of women in other sources relating to the year 1919. So we obviously need something along these lines, and not just as a tool to help with creating or expanding articles about women.--Ipigott (talk) 16:50, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It's a little bit almanacky, but encyclopedic and educational. I have attempted to address the POV and structural issues with a couple edits. Carrite (talk) 18:24, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's educational to have timelines, but what's educational about knowing what happened 150, 100 and 50 years ago in one list, which you can repeat every 25 or 50 years anyway? I can create Women's anniversaries in 1969, and include everything that belongs on this page but happened before 1969. And another one for 1994, and another one for 2069, and so on and so on. The possibilities are endless! We don't create articles for this year only, we create timeless articles. An article on what happened in 1919 (if 1919 has special meaning) is fine, an article for what happened 25, 50, 100, 200 years ago in 2019 is not. Fram (talk) 09:27, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think we are on the same page, Fram, and as things are developing, I think the article would be better as "Women's events and developments in 1919". For the time being, at least, I don't see any reason to write articles on the other years you mention. I'll go ahead and move it now which would be far more in line with Wikipedia practice. I really appreciate your advice.--Ipigott (talk) 16:10, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural close - the page has been moved to Women's events and developments in 1919 and the rationales for deletion present no longer make sense. I suggest this be procedurally closed. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:07, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • No problem with such a close, we have articles on "year X in sport" and so on as well, so this is a valid (and valuable) topic now. Fram (talk) 20:57, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest we move it to 1919 in women's history, which is the standard shape of title. PamD 10:36, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This interpretation is not notable, since it was invented long after entanglement had been discovered and proven possible, has at no time in history seemed consistent with the possiblity of entanglement. — SvartMan (talk) (talk) 13:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The deletion rational is arguing that Hidden-measurement interpretation is wrong and foolish. This is not a valid reason to delete an article; as long as the topic receives significant coverage from reliable independent sources then it is a notable encyclopedic topic. From a cursory glance at this article's citations, this criteria appears to be met. That said, citations are used very inappropriately in this article, for example, the 35 inline citations in a row in the #History section are clearly excessive. Further, most of the sources are papers by the same authors; some of the sources even look like different versions of the same paper. These citations fail to provide a neutral point of view on the topic, instead promoting the work of this small group of researchers to excess. An expert needs to read the papers that are cited and see which ones actually support content in the article, removing the others.

    Finally, if this interpretation of QM is clearly flawed, we need a criticisms section. Such a section, properly sources, will go a long way to combat the neutrality issues in the article. BenKuykendall (talk) 16:10, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • To be honest, that one author that almost single-handledy wrote the Wikipedia page might well be one of the authors of that YouTube video / paper published in a few places with variations. Are any of the referenced sources reliable secondary sources that meet Wikipedia standards? Publishing the content in all these places obviously took more effort than just posting some text on pastebin and citing that from Wikipedia, but does it meet our [notability:WP:N] and [anti-originality standard|WP:NOR]? Pretty much the independent source I found on Google is a [Physics forum thread https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/hidden-measurements-interpretation.872340/] stating "Reading the paper, this interpretation just sounds like a roundabout way of saying measurement results are probabilistic," and unanimous consent that the paper proves no claim whatsoever. Irrespective of the actual verity of the paper, there seems to have been no public discussion of the material except for that Physics forum thread, the Wikipedia page and this deletion request. It's less notable than, for example, a false news piece. — SvartMan (talk) (talk) 21:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The nomination does not advance a deletion rationale based on Wikipedia policy, but that said, the topic is not notable by our standards. All the sources in the article are primary (by Aerts or his co-authors). The same goes for the citations to the paper that supposedly introduced the idea: they are by Aerts, by people who repeatedly co-authored with him, or passing mentions. One of those co-authors actually called the idea "overlooked". This interpretation doesn't even make the list when physicists are surveyed about their favorites. When an interpretation of quantum mechanics is so obscure that nobody has argued why it must be wrong, then it's really obscure. XOR'easter (talk) 21:48, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable. Page was created on 12 October 2008‎ (five months after her death) by Olivestonem - this is clearly an obituary page created by a close relative who has no other edits on Wikipedia. It was tagged as an obituray for some time, but that tag was removed by an anonymous IP editor, who also removed an unreferenced tag despite the fact that the page has never had a single reference.

The article makes a number of claims to notability ("a noted entertainer", " Several newspaper accounts regarding her accomplishments have been published internationally", "Her ranking in Los Angeles fundraising community is well known") but my best endeavours searching have found nothing to back this up.

The article claims she was in the film version of My Fair Lady, but this doesn't pan out. According to IMDb, there was a Beatrice Grenough in My Fair Lady (see IMDb My Fair Lady (1964) Full Cast & Crew) but the part was uncredited. Grenough only has one other credit in IMDb, also uncredited (see Beatrice Grenough @ IMDB). If this is the same person (stage name, perhaps), it doesn't make for notability. At best, we have two bit parts played by uncredited actors and, in the stage version, also a bit part. An appearance on a TV talent show does not confer notability.

The Encyclopedia of Motion Picture Sound has no mention of Beatrice Olivier (though Beatrice Grenough is there). Emeraude (talk) 16:53, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I can find quite a few mentions of her in newspapers, but only local coverage of small-scale events: reports of her music school's concerts when she was 10, a report of a wedding where she sang songs, a meeting of a women's organisation where she provided the musical entertainment (and was claimed to be a "British television and radio performer"), and in a performance of My Fair Lady by the Westside Civic Light Opera at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium - and similar. There are ads for Mickey Katz's variety revues which she performed in, as the article states. Another notice of a forthcoming meeting says that she was a "movie and operatic star, known and acclaimed for her performances on European and American stages", but if the European stages were like the American ones, the only coverage is likely to be local there, too. There seems to be no evidence about whether she is the Beatrice who was in the film of My Fair Lady, but even if she was, as the Nom says, she doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO.

The Sicarii also threatened attacks on four Israeli members of Parliament because of their support for a Palestinian peace demonstration. Israeli authorities arrested a suspected leader of the group in June.
That was just in the few minutes I spent looking. There are others I dont have ready access to at 3 am, but, there are numerous contemporary newspaper reports about this as well. Revert back to the article that was about a group, and not the purposefully created deletion-bait that was brought here. nableezy - 09:15, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • One of the 3 is PRIMARY. The 2 others are a notes mention and a single paragraph - failing INDEPTH. Far from clear the 1990 group (if it was one - it seems this was a flyer/phone name used briefly by Kach), as opposed to the 70CE or the unrelated modern Haredi group passes GNG - secondary sources cover them very briefly, if at all, since there isn't much to wrtie.
    In any this is not as simple as move - the current content should be deleted or revdelled at the very least. The assertions made here towards an innocent BLP can not be left in the article history.Icewhiz (talk) 10:02, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Immediate procedural close as a flagrant abuse of process. The article should be moved back to the previous name, with the original content, and allowed to develop with the sources that are obviously available. If someone then wants to AfD it, they are free to do so in the normal way. Re-writing an article as a completely different topic, and then nominating that for deletion is unacceptable. In my view, this dishonest behaviour merits a block, but I am not sufficiently familiar with the necessary processes to take it any further. --NSH001 (talk) 12:10, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @NSH001: I strongly suggest you strike multiple claims above - my sole involvement with this article has been to nominate it to AfD.Icewhiz (talk) 12:52, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The old version of the article, when it was about the Sicarii group and not Yoel Adler himself, read In March 1989, the Jerusalem Post described the Sicarii as "the most sought-after under group in Israel today" Originally, the article didn't mention Yoel Adler at all [33]. I must say that I have a hard time understanding why the article was rewritten to be about Yoel Adler and then put up for deletion using WP:BLPCRIME.

  • Keep - I have been monitoring the DICE as I am a researcher for security and privacy related issues since its first publication in German and Austrian media but also in political debates.
The product is prototyped and from my state of knowledge as of January 2018, the Republic of South Africa prepared a pilot project with the DICE.
I am sorry if the references are from a common point of view, but during my research, I followed the technical and reliable documentation that I found to be more relevant than others. Also, being featured in the Keesing Journal is :like a peerage in the industry (I know it because I wrote my essay on new security technologies that could be a risk to our privacy, like the DICE).
The featuring in the Keesing Journal can be confirmed in the issue 49 preview on their website here: https://www.keesingtechnologies.com/keesing-journal/single-issue/ but also from the content preview here: :https://www.keesingtechnologies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Content.pdf .
As for articles, there are plenty of them all across the German-speaking media landscape with different sentiments (just use google.de and search for EDAQS dice) and they include very big financial news portals (finanzen.net), :reputable news sources like (Trend.at, futurezone.at and orf.at) and even articles on websites from political parties (Pirates). I believe this topic should be covered as it is very up-to-date with a lot of new technologies and :blockchain solutions appearing here.
I am for keeping it on Wikipedia, not because I wrote the article (I also asked a moderator to review it at that time), but because it meets all requirements from your policies. In any case I am fine with any decision that is reasonable and considers the above facts. For the case this helps, we could also follow up and add more references and fundamentals that make it a more wiki-worthy article. Note: I've added new independent news articles and references as well as comments to the article.

Press coverage in German appears significant. See in particular this article. 2.34.241.247 (talk) 20:22, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the Solothurner Zeitung article appears significant, as well as this piece in Grenchner Tagblatt. The only caveats are that both of these appear to be local papers owned by the same publishing company, and I'm thus unsure whether or not they qualify as sufficiently reliable, per ORGCRITE's audience criteria: The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.. A lot of the other hits on the google news search appear to have only matched "Uhr", as opposed to "Delma" and thus don't appear to actually be coverage of the subject. signed, Rosguill talk 20:41, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Rosguill Just be aware that while an article may appear to be "significant", it must also be "intellectually independent" - see WP:ORGIND and the section on "Dependent coverage". As such, the Solothurner Zeitung is classic churnalism, based on information provided by the company and supported by interview/quotations from owners. Now that (hopefully) you see the pattern, the Grenchner Tagblatt article fails for the same reasons. WP:NCORP was tightened up earlier this year to specifically exclude these types of pseudo-neutral churnalistic references. HighKing++ 12:33, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient coverage in reliable sources and academic literature in general, does not meet WP:GNG. The concept appears to have been pioneered in this paper, which according to Google Scholar has been cited 5 times. Based on the content of the article and the abstracts of the relevant papers, it is unclear whether the term "Fawzal number" has ever actually been used outside of wikipedia, even in the papers that developed the concept. It also appears very likely that the initial editor has a conflict of interest, seeing as their username is "Fawzala", and the author of the papers about this concept is A. Fawzal. Comments in edit summaries would appear to indicate that this concept is part of their graduate thesis, which hasn't even been defended yet. Maybe this will one day be the cornerstone of fan cooling theory, but for now it appears to be much WP:TOOSOON. signed, Rosguill talk 04:11, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet basic WP:PERSON notability guidelines as Lehrs never received any awards or recognition outside of Waldorf education which is itself an esoteric and fringe movement. Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC or WP:AUTHOR guidelines as multiple independent secondary or tertiary sources outside of the anthroposophical or waldorf education movement do not cite or note his work. Article has only 1or 2 legitimate sources discussing Lehrs, and they are fringe publications by anthroposophists. This gentleman would be notable on a Anthroposophy-specific wiki, but that is not what this is. This gentleman might be notable in a German-wiki, but that is not what this is. This is the english wikipedia and Ernst Lehrs did not live a notable enough life to have his own article on it. Shibbolethink ( ) 02:34, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep WP:ANYBIO #3 Agathoclea (talk) 10:05, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I think the nominator has misinterpreted WP:NACADEMIC, where #1 is "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." (my emphasis) - it does not say that the impact has to be outside the scholarly discipline, in this case "outside of the anthroposophical or Waldorf education movement". Also, the nominator refers to Waldorf education as "an esoteric and fringe movement", and yet the Wikipedia article says that "it has become the largest independent school movement in the world, with about 1,150 independent Waldorf schools, about 1,800 kindergartens and 646 centers for special education located in 75 countries" = hardly "fringe". The previous voter refers to WP:ANYBIO, where #3 states "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field." We also have WP:BASIC, "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".
So, what evidence is there of Lehrs' impact in the field of Steiner education and anthroposophy, and/or of significant coverage? On the website Kulturimpuls, which researches anthroposophy, there is a biography of Lehrs (the first reference in the article). As the text can't be copied to translate it through Google Translate, I'll have to take a bit longer to read and understand it. This webpage [37] on a wesbite about the cobblestone memorial plaques to victims of Nazism has information about Lehrs (including his birth name, Leopold Edgar - he took his father Ernst's name), about his mother, and about another Waldorf teacher. The book Between Occultism and Nazism: Anthroposophy and the Politics of Race in the Fascist Era [38] has a paragraph about Lehrs and his position in the school after Hitler became chancellor. Lehrs left Germany and ended up in Britain; there are articles in UK newspapers in 1940, 1941 and 1942 about talks he gave about Steiner philosophy, which mention his work in Germany and the work he was then doing at a school in Aberdeenshire. The Observer newspaper published a review of Lehrs' book Man or Matter in 1951; the journal Philosophy published a full two-page review in 1952; an article in The German Quarterly in 1969 on 'Goethe and Modern American Poets' mentions that T.S. Eliot was converted by Lehrs' Man or Matter (the source for this is Eliot's address 'Goethe as the Sage'). Even in sources in English, available online, there is enough coverage to say that he does meet WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. The article could be improved by adding these references and incorporating more of the information available in these sources. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:53, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The only other thing I wanted to say was regarding what you said about Waldorf schools being mainstream. You're certainly right that there are many of these schools around the world these days, but I think your estimation of them no longer being a fringe movement is misplaced. What makes something a fringe movement is not the quantity of its practitioners or wide spread nature of its outposts, but the perception and reality of its tenets as compared to mainstream ideas. Acupuncturists are everywhere these days, from the corner shop to the outlet mall just outside of town, probably numbering in the hundreds of thousands if not millions worldwide.
This quantity of practitioners doesn't make them any less of a fringe movement, because what Acupuncturists believe is still fringe science. The same is true of Waldorf schools. If the central tenets of Waldorf science education are still that animals evolved from human spiritual manifestations and that the four kingdoms of nature are "mineral, plant, animal, and man," then Waldorf education is still a fringe theory. But I think you're right that the subject of this proposal, Mr. Lehrs, is notable enough given his widespread coverage in non-Waldorf news sources and widely-read print media as you've outlined above. So I still withdraw my nomination. I just wanted to clarify that particular point! Cheers, and thank you for the good work finding sources.--Shibbolethink ( ) 18:03, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed - I would not call either the science or the education mainstream, but the history, numbers and spread of the schools mean they are a fairly well established alternative education. RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:29, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just a point of correction: #3 is "The person has an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography or similar publication." - saves a load of effort of analysing google book results. In this case I looked at the German DNB as he was German. Agathoclea (talk) 19:55, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Guenther Wachsmuth[edit]

Guenther Wachsmuth (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet basic WP:PERSON notability guidelines as Wachsmuth never received any awards or recognition outside of the Anthroposophical Society which is itself an esoteric and fringe group. Does not meet WP:ACADEMIC or WP:AUTHOR guidelines as multiple independent secondary or tertiary sources outside of the anthroposophical movement do not cite or note his work. Article has only 1 source, and it is a fringe publication by an anthroposophist admirer. This gentleman would be notable on a Anthroposophy-specific wiki, but that is not what this is. This is the english wikipedia and Guenther Wachsmuth did not live a notable enough life or die a notable enough death to have his own article. --Shibbolethink ( ) 06:37, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
