Removed PROD tag with no explanation. My concern was: Wholly unsourced article that is also promotional and a violation of NOTTRAVELGUIDE ("come and gather to visit Ammavaru to get the blessings by doing Pujas and rituals"). I'm also not sure that this temple even exists.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  21:54, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment this AfD is based on the premise this city does not exist in Ajman, but Google Street Map has coverage of Ajman in that area and there's clearly a sign at 24.8182405,56.0958615 saying you're in/entering "Al Shiariyah." I asked to have this AfD opened back up in light of this finding, to see if any other information can be found or at least to help explain why this may have made it into a geodatabase.

  • Comment Funnily enough, I was there the other day. It's where the Masfout police station is located. Masfout is a large village/small town which has blocks or areas. One area (not, note, a 'city' as per the article) is Shariyah. Another, just up the road, is Mansoura. They're not settlements in their own right, they're part of Masfout. I'd question whether we really want to list every block or area of a town this size and whether these suburbs are themselves notable. Same problem with our old friend, Sufayri up the road in Hatta. It's a block or area within the settlement of Hatta. Once we go down this rabbit hole, we'll be listing tens of thousands of such places. Every block in Dubai, Ajman Sharjah and every other emirate, for instance has a name. Five blocks near my house in Sharjah are Ghafia, Hazzana, Riqqa, Fisht and Sharq. Do we name them all? And, by the way, many names are popular. So pretty much every town has an Al Mansoura or a Hamadia. One exception here is Al Heera, which has a rich and documented (sourced!!!) history and used to be an emirate in its own right. Same as Al Khan and Hamriyah. So they're notable. Here's not, IMHO. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:37, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • We're certainly getting closer to a positive result. I don't think we will actually list tens of thousands of such places, since most of the geodatabase dump has been tagged for cleanup. The question in this instance is whether this is a separate settlement, or a sub-jurisdiction of Masfout. If it's the former, we should keep the article, but based on my review of UAE governmental sources, that'll be difficult to verify. Probably best to "merge" the fact this is a district to the Masfout article? SportingFlyer talk 04:48, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Or just delete the article because it's not notable and the article is clearly unsourced, unverifiable and generally rubbish, as are the vast majority of the others? You wanna list one block of Masfout, you list 'em all! And without using OR I don't see how you'd even be able to do it. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 04:55, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • If this is a block of Masfout it must be documented somewhere, even if it's not in English. SportingFlyer talk 05:09, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It may be. But it's not notable. It fails WP:N as well as all the rest. And this is WAY too much time and discussion over a nine word stub of no value. Sorry... Alexandermcnabb (talk) 05:17, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I disagree, it's important to attempt to verify these things. Just because an article lacks sources or only has nine words doesn't mean it's not notable - it's the topic that's notable, not the article. SportingFlyer talk 06:46, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Right! It's the topic that's not notable! Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:30, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

Article fails WP:CRYSTAL (in that it discusses something that was planned a decade ago, and has not happened - and may never happen). By extension, and perhaps unsurprisingly given that the article covers a topic that *does not exist*, article also fails WP:GNG/WP:SIGCOV (in that the only coverage of this proposed station was about a decade ago, and then only one or two mentions in the press). These mentions do not establish notability to the extent that would justify a standalone article (they barely justify a passing mention in the article on Croke Park itself. We do not need a standalone article to state "a station was proposed in 2007 - but was never built"). The only value this article has to the project is as a perfect example of why we have WP:FUTURE guidelines. Guliolopez (talk) 19:08, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Completing contested PROD nomination on behalf of 80.215.156.205, who seems unsure about our deletion processes. The original PROD rationale was: "Wikipedia is not the daily mirror or a fan site. Khan is notable, his dog or the colour of his sock is of zero interest in an encyclopedia. The "Imran Khan sidebar" should be deleted as well, no need for a template about everything. ([3])" As nominator I am neutral unless I comment otherwise. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:13, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm a little concerned that this is a case of WP:CITOGENESIS - the article uses at least a few sources which document Wikipedia's coverage of Khan's dogs. I haven't reviewed in great detail but we'll need sources that can establish that Khan's pets were notable before Wikipedia wrote about them. To Saqib's point: it's entirely possible that they are, and we do have several articles on notable pets of notable world leaders. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While this page itself received enormous press coverage in several Pakistani, Indian and even British newspapers, but the article currently cite less than 5 news stories. Rest of the citations are published before this page creation. I will provide here some coverage to establish GNG. --Saqib (talk) 19:12, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep easy keep vote for me. The subject has accrued WP:SIGCOV, both direct and tangential, in reliable sources (including two works of print media [4], [5]), has a claim to significance, and has a precedent on Wikipedia by way of Winston Churchill's pets, Pets of Vladimir Putin, etc. To begin, Imran Khan's pets have garnered coverage directly concerning them in regional/national publications, namely ones such as these [6][7] [8] that either report on or refute the possibility that Khan's animals played a part in his divorce. Either way, the coverage is directly concerned with the animals. I find the ARY News source (this one also makes mention [9] of the incident) to be pertinent to this AfD, as it states that Khan has been criticized for the going against Pakistani social norms by allowing his dogs in his house; this seems to be a credible claim to significance, and a case for why Khan's animals have a measure of encyclopedic significance. Moving on, Khan's late dog Sheru (per [10], a gift from a former president of Pakistan) also received several direct mentions in the Pakistani press (and one in the Daily Mail [11], which I am listing here as a testament to the dog's international exposure, not as a WP:RS), including one [12] that characterized a report of the dog being kicked out of Khan's house as "viral". Two other dogs of Khan's have accrued more coverage, for example this source [13] from The Print that covers the multiple events Khan's dogs have been involved in. Other animals owned by Khan likewise are covered, mostly as a result of him having to disclose [14] his personal wealth. And then of course there are the few articles that reference this page's existence, which is a WP:CITOGENESIS issue. That being said, the weight of quality coverage amassed by Khan's animals prior to August 2018 (when this article was created) should be more than enough to meet WP:GNG and WP:OTHERSTUFF.--SamHolt6 (talk) 19:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the detailed coverage identified by SamHolt6, who's done a pretty good job putting this all together. I'm not really convinced that the details about the dogs' involvement in the divorce really count as more than trivial mentions, but they are mentioned trivially by many independent sources. Some of the others are quite in-depth reports about the dogs, though, and that tips it for me. As for the article having "no overall coherence", WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. And, of course, if there's an argument to delete the sidebar then it should be a separate discussion, but I strongly disagree. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 13:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Because no clear reason was actually provided by the contesting IP, and because the subject meets WP:GNG by a significant margin as explained above or evidenced in the large number of reliable, multiple sources quoted in the article. Many of them much before Khan's election or for that matter his entry into mainstream politics. Very few other politicians, and certainly in the case of Pakistan, have had as much coverage on their pets, so this is not even mere trivial coverage. Also, this coverage is based on multiple, reliably-sourced, different stories and anecdotes as opposed to one or two events, so that itself negates that lone point. I will go the extent of saying that no other public figure has been discussed as much in the Pakistani public or media for their lifestyle and keeping of pets as much as Khan, after perhaps Jinnah. Musharraf might come a close second, and even his gifting of a dog is mentioned. Mar4d (talk) 09:44, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    1. "Expanding in the Face of a Trend". BusinessWeek. No. 1442. 1957-04-20. pp. 61–68.

      This is an extensive article about Crescent Electric Supply published in BusinessWeek in 1957.

      The article notes:

      By blanketing a seven-state, predominately rural area with 18 warehouses Crescent has made itself the midwest's largest electrical distributor.

      The article lists the seven states as Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois.

      The article notes:

      Service to the sprawling seven-state area shown in the map above has fattened the Crescent Electric Supply Co. of Dubuque, Iowa, into one of the biggest independent U.S. distributors of electrical apparatus and equipment. Already it has more warehouse space concentrated in one region than any other electrical distributor. And, this month, Crescent is opening its 18th branch warehouse—in Des Moines.

      This expansion has a twofold significance:

      For one thing, it's a logical next step along the path that has led Crescent to success in a region with fewer big cities and industries than many other parts of the country. Through a solid lineup of warehouse branches, Crescent gives small-town and farm customers every distribution service—complete inventories, quick deliveries, credit, and special assistance of all kinds. This way, Crescent comes out ahead of its big-city rivals and local competition that draws on city stocks.

      The article further notes that "The company puts a jealous guard around sales figures—but reliable industry sources place last year's at around $10-million".

      The article discusses the company's history: how it was founded by Titus B. Schmid in Dubuque "38 years ago this month", how a new branch was opened in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1923, and a new branch was opened in Davenport, Iowa, in 1924.

      The article notes that the company has 327 employees, 25,000 accounts on its customers list, and stocks 30,000 different items from 5,000 suppliers.

      The article then provides some negative coverage of the subject, noting that "Even as Crescent is expanding, it's grappling with urgent problems that have been common to the industry in the last several years" with gross and net margins "dropping steadily since 1952—despite a doubling in gross volume since the end of World War II".

      It also notes that "in 1925, General Electric named Crescent a distributor—and now, handling all GE products that pass through normal distribution channels, it's GE's largest independent full-line distributor".

    2. Taplin, Nathaniel (2018-01-03). "Bitcoin Isn't a Currency, It's a Commodity—Price It That Way". The Wall Street Journal. Archived from the original on 2018-01-09. Retrieved 2018-09-06.

      The article notes:

      Applying the same analysis to bitcoin suggests its price could face a steep fall if demand dries up. The cost of minting a bitcoin is as low as $3,224 in Louisiana, according to an analysis by the Crescent Electric Supply Co., one of the largest electrical suppliers in the U.S.

      This article does not provide significant coverage of the subject, but I am including here because it notes Crescent Electric Supply in 2018 is "one of the largest electrical suppliers in the U.S."
    3. Lucy, Jim (2013-07-17). "Crescent Electric Supply Profile: Orchestrating Change". Electrical Wholesaling. Penton.

      The article's length is 2,584 words.

      The article notes:

      Crescent Electric was founded in Dubuque by Titus B. Schmid in 1919. An electrical contractor by trade, he was frustrated by how long it took for electrical manufacturers to ship products to Dubuque along the river from St. Louis or Minneapolis, so he started his own electrical distributorship to service the supply needs of other electrical contractors. Before too long, he opened branches down the river in Burlington and Davenport, Iowa, and about 90 miles away in Madison, Wis. Today, Crescent’s branch network stretches far beyond the Mississippi River. The company now has 1,700 employees and more than 130 branches in 27 states, and is steadily expanding into new markets with a mix of acquisitions and branch startups.

      ...

      As the company incorporates these initiatives into its operations, it’s also assessing new acquisitions or branch start-ups. Over the past two years Crescent has made three major acquisitions (McCullough Electric Co., Pittsburgh; Stoneway Electric Supply, Spokane, Wash.; and Lake Electric Supply, Storm Lake, Iowa.) It also purchased three branches of Broken Arrow Electric Supply in Lee’s Summit, Warrensburg and Warsaw, Mo., and opened new branches in Pinetop-Lakeside, Ariz., and Sidney, Mont.

    4. Kickham, Victoria Fraza (2007-11-01). "Delivering solutions; Crescent Electric Supply uses service and knowledge to sell automation and control systems to industrial customers". Industrial Distribution. Reed Business Information. p. 36.

      The article is listed as a feature and the article's length is 1,273 words.

      The article notes:

      Crescent Electric's business is split 60-40 between traditional electrical accounts-contractors, utilities and government-and industrial OEM/MRO business. The latter portion has seen strong growth lately, helped by Crescent's 2003 purchase of Northwest Controls, an Ohio distributor of automation and control products. Crescent Electric has been growing by acquisition since its inception 90 years ago and was especially active on the M&A front in the 1970s. The company has grown from one location in 1919 to 126 locations in 26 states today, with roughly 1,700 employees.

      ...

      Like most companies serving the manufacturing industry, Crescent Electric is concerned about the stability of the U.S. economy. Slow growth in manufacturing coupled with continued high energy and raw materials costs could put capital expenditures on hold indefinitely, and that would hurt, says vice president of sales Dick Cody. At the same time, he says Crescent is diversified enough to sustain some blows over the long haul.

      The article notes:

      The article notes that they are publishing "capsule summaries of what's happening with some of the largest Top 200 distributors". The article notes:

      Crescent Electric Supply Co. Headquarters: East Dubuque, Ill. Senior executive: Marty Burbridge 2014 sales: $1.07 billion, an increase of about 4% over $1.03 billion in 2013 Employees: 1,800 Branches: 140 Buying/marketing group: IMARK ERP system: Eclipse After installing a new Eclipse ERP system and launching a new online storefront and in 2013, things were a little quieter for Crescent Electric Supply in 2014. The company did announce a number of mid-level personnel changes and said it plans to expand operations in the Minneapolis metropolitan area with the opening of a new facility in Minneapolis and the relocation of its St. Paul facility. In related news, the company's DataComm business currently located in Golden Valley, Minn., will be integrated into the Minneapolis facility. It also finalized the acquisition of Lake Electric Supply, Storm Lake, Iowa. Crescent has moved to a new updated ecommerce site that provides access to more than 200,000 products and allows customers to draw from the company's system-wide inventory of more than $120 million. In other company news, Crescent Electric Supply celebrated its 95th year in the electrical market on April 15. The company was founded in Dubuque, Iowa in 1919 by Titus B. Schmid.

    6. Hogstrom, Erik (2006-09-24). "Crescent founded in Dubuque". Telegraph Herald.

      The articles does not have any quotations or interviews with the company's representatives.

      The article notes:

      By 1925, Crescent had been appointed a General Electric Lamp agent.

      The company experienced steady growth, expanding to five locations in 1930, eight by 1940, 25 by 1970.

      Crescent supplies a range of electrical contractors, from one-man shops to those capable of designing and installing multimillion-dollar systems.

      Other customers include investor-owned utilities, rural electric cooperatives, municipal utilities, industrial firms, schools, hospitals, colleges, hardware and appliance stores as well as discount stores and supermarkets.

      The article also notes that the company was founded by Titus B. Schmid in 1919 in Dubuque, Illinois. The article further notes that the company's corporate office is in East Dubuque and that it has more than 120 distribution locations in 25 states including New York and Alaska.

      The article notes:

      SOMETHING is going on, in the 16 branches of Crescent Electric Supply Company which cover all of Iowa and large portions of Illinois, Wisconsin and South Dakota. It's a big increase in lighting volume, largely on the commercial side: 90% over 1951 for the first quarter of this year — the latest figures available now. This substantial increase has been a continuing trend since a separate lighting department was established in the firm in 1945, under the supervision of Lighting Engineer Carl O. Christensen. Figures reveal that in 1941, lighting was only 5.8% of Crescent's full-time volume; in 1951, despite zooming figures in other departments, lighting fixtures accounted for 7.5% of all Crescent's business, including major appliances.

      The article further notes:

      Crescent was founded by Titus B. Schmid, its present president, in 1919. The original house at Dubuque has grown to include a manufacturing plant and 16 branches in four states, including among other employees 76 outside salesmen and 19 city counter-salesman.

      Lighting fixtures were always considred an important phase of the business by Mr. Schmid, but it was not until the establishment of a separate department that considerable advances were made. As in other full-line houses, all the salesmen sell some lighting at one time or another; but until Christensen 's advent such sales were often the result of demand or accident.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Crescent Electric Supply to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Martinp (talk · contribs), the "Encyclopedia Dubuque" article is a very good find because it is based on an entry about Crescent Electric Supply in a hardcover encyclopedia. Thank you.

    http://www.encyclopediadubuque.org/index.php?title=ABOUT_ENCYCLOPEDIA_DUBUQUE says:

    The basis of Encyclopedia Dubuque is the hardcover book, Dubuque: The Encyclopedia. Written in 1991 by Randolph W. LYON and published by First National Bank of Dubuque (now U.S. Bank), Dubuque: The Encyclopedia was designed as a table-top reference to Dubuque's history. Organized in alphabetical order, the entries were quick to locate and easy to read. ...

    ...

    As Dubuque reached its sesquicentennial, the Dubuque City Council announced that it would fund ten applications from local historical societies or groups with projects involving Dubuque history. The Carnegie-Stout Library Foundation chose to apply for a grant to convert the aging printed edition of Dubuque: The Encyclopedia to an expandable digital format. This grant application was approved in 2008, establishing the threshold for a new and exciting approach to local history.

    The encyclopedia Dubuque: The Encyclopedia has an entry on Crescent Electric Supply company preserved in its earliest revision at http://www.encyclopediadubuque.org/index.php?title=CRESCENT_ELECTRIC_SUPPLY_COMPANY&oldid=570. The encyclopedia provides four paragraphs of coverage about the company's history.

  • Delete per my comments at the DRV. All or or almost all of Cunard's sources except for the BusinessWeek article either fail to meet the depth requirements at WP:CORPDEPTH for only containing directory-like, routine information about the company or the independence requirements at WP:COPRIND, which specifically warns against using trade magazines. What is left is insufficient to meet to meet WP:NCORP. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:36, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: the sources presented above fail WP:CORPDEPTH; they are passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP.

Patar knight (talk · contribs) and K.e.coffman (talk · contribs), what's your opinion of the Encyclopedia Dubuque article? It is local, but it seems to be another in-depth, reliable, independent source. Martinp (talk) 09:26, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's a tertiary source, which should always be used with more care than secondary sources. It's author, no matter how admirable his dedication to local history may be, seems to be a high school teacher with little to no formal teaching in history. [17] The sources in the article are either all short, routine stories that woudl fail WP:CORPDEPTH or non-independent (the company website). It may be a good external link, but I would not use it to evaluate notability or as a source. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 13:02, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. Indeed, WP:TERTIARY provides (reasonable) guidance on source preference when writing an article. However, WP:NCORP explicitly mentions encyclopedia articles as examples of substantial coverage. And that one good source should be nonlocal, which in this case the BW article satisfies and so OK that this one is local. And if we require authors of potential sources to have "formal training in history", then I think a lot of our sources in other articles will be in trouble. By my read, WP:CORP (including CORPDEPTH and other elements of the alphabet soup) is satisfied quite well overall for this company. It's an interesting edge case, since it does seem to be a 2nd tier company of fairly local interest, but I don't think we should be more demanding that what settled policy is. Having said all that, am now signing off for a few days, and have no horses in this race (beyond continuing bemusement that 10 years after I helped rescue Arch Coal in a rather nonstandard DRV, we still seem to have allergic reactions to company articles while embracing pop culture articles and geographic stubs with much less depth of sourcing...but I digress.) Martinp (talk) 14:56, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The requirement for one non-local source is a necessary requirement, but not a sufficient requirement. There are obviously many cases where formal training in the subject discipline is not required, most notably newspaper articles, but in those cases those sources are reliable because they're published by an organization with a reputation for fact checking that would be a hedge against mistakes. An encyclopedia focused on one small city, filled with non-notable entries, authored by someone with no formal training, and originally published by a bank does not encourage confidence.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 14:18, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    1. 20 April 1957 profile in BusinessWeek
    2. April 1969 cover story in Iowa Business & Industry magazine (link to coverInternet Archive). The cover notes:

      Crescent Electric Supply Company has fanned out over the midwest with a "localized" service concept that has boosted it to the largest distributor in this area. It took Crescent 50 years to establish 29 branch outlets and — one by one — put its inventory, services and helping-hand concept. This April the company celebrates its golden anniversary. The four sons of the founder Titus B. Schmid are shown on the cover. They are, left to right, Thomas B. Schmid, president; William T. Schmid, James A. Schmid and John Schmid. The Crescent territory now serves electrical utilities, contractors and dealers in parts of nine states. Electric supplies are its largest volume division. Major appliances are another. Household appliances are another and a growing segment is its lighting division.

    The articles were published in 1957, 1969, 1972, 1991, 2006, and 2013. Crescent Electric Supply has received significant coverage in reliable sources over many decades.

  • The three sources that are not trade magazines are:
    1. 20 April 1957 profile in BusinessWeek
    2. 1991 encyclopedia entry in the hardcover book Dubuque: The Encyclopedia
    3. 24 July 2006 profile in Telegraph Herald
    Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience says "at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary". This requirement is fulfilled by the national publication BusinessWeek. It is fine for the other sources to be local sources.

  • Weak keep. The article contains several claims that would pass WP:PROF, and although not directly referenced, I have no particular reason to doubt them either. Searching for sources on Google etc. is not a good strategy for a Soviet academician; any sources that are out there are unlikely to be English, well-indexed, or even online at all. – Joe (talk) 11:22, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There aren't any refs in the article that verify notability, they are 404, trivial or similar. I did a copyvio check because it looks like a copy and paste, returned nothing.

  • Do Not Delete. Please understand that "Territorial Army" is not "Regular Army". These are citizens who contribute to the Army (much difference from the conscription model of many countries). The reason why I had put this persons biography is due to the following reasons:-

1. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to be seconded to the Regular Army - to enable him to serve a tenure in the Siachen Glacier.
2. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to serve in the Siachen Glacier.
3. This officer was the first ever officer of Territorial Army to command the troops of Regular Army
I understand that this article might have been deleted several times before - probably because there was no WP:RS.

  • Delete. Despite the claims in the article, I really can't find evidence that this really passes NFILM. Many of the sources listed are in passing and some aren't in places that would be considered reliable. The article also has a definite promotional tone to it, so I'm curious to know whether there was some undisclosed paid editing going on here since many of the articles created by the same editor have the same issue, some of which are more promotional sounding. ReaderofthePack (。◕‿◕。) 14:46, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @ReaderofthePack: my suspicion (after reviewing non-deleted articles in the creator's creation list up to #200) is that they were creating articles on British-Bengali people of some minor community note (both in the London area, and in the north, e.g. Birmingham) - using various British-Bengali lists. I'm not sure of a COI here (unless promoting British-Bengali people is COI) - but there are copyvio concerns (which got the creator indef blocked). On film makers, singers, dangers, etc. they also created an article for several of the works (e.g. - in this case - look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Elephant in the Room (film) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tariq Chow. For Hannan Majid - they created the small production company they own - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rainbow Collective - and every documentary they produced. I suspect there is more nomination to do (I'm still going to review the ones under 200) - in some cases I didn't nominate what I though was borderline, and I avoided singers/songwriters all together (in some cases - with multiple articles for singles) - since I'm less versed in song notability.Icewhiz (talk) 15:10, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete One would think with the Billboard announcement that this is notable, but I can't find anywhere that this "joint venture" with major labels did anything. There are two press releases already included in the article, and every other piece of writ I can find (other than the briefest of casual mentions) is based on these two press releases. Therefore the only independent, reliable source with in-depth coverage is Billboard, so GNG is not met. GNG aside, it does not appear this company has done anything, anything at all. Therefore I don't see how notability of any sort is achieved, even by the most lenient interpretation. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The video attracted few interest, and there are millions of videos around that attracted more interest. I doubt if it is even worth merging to anything, given that news sources like the BBC did not even mention the video by name in its coverage - [20], suggesting that it's the campaign that the media was interested in, not the video, therefore the campaign (rather than the video) may merit at best a single line mention in War on Want or Adidas.

This article appears to be an WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. That in itself is not a reason for speedy deletion. There is a claim of significance here, that he is the first - credible? probably not - that he is the first Saudi person to ride a car around a Wall of death. What would seem to me the appropriate reason for via WP:AFD process deletion is WP:BLP1E. All the other assertions:

not assist an assertion of WP:ANYBIO notability. In my opinion, this WP:BLP is a {{Db-person}} WP:A7 candidate.

The result was merge to Legitimacy of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. Clear consensus to not keep. Less clear if it should be deleted outright or merged, but several of the people arguing to delete also indicate a selective merge would be acceptable, so going with that. This should be a selective merge, only moving the most significant and well-sourced material, with regard to WP:UNDUE. I encourage whoever does the merge to read the full discussion here and use that for guidance. Leave a redirect.

A minor complication is that this term has also been used with respect to Libya. If we've got an existing article that discusses the term in that context (or one is written in the future), feel free to turn the redirect into a WP:DAB page. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Humanitarian bombing[edit]

  • TRUTH = PROPAGANDA? CENSORSHIP = TRUTH? Wikipedia = BATTLEFIELD?!

Not only did Václav Havel assign "humanism" to the ILLEGAL bombing of Yugoslavia, targeted predominantly against civilian targets (hospitals, bridges, admninistrative buildings etc.) - which legally is defined as TERRORISM (see TERRORISM DEFINITION) -, but his father Václav Maria and gay uncle Miloš also made propaganda films for Adolf Hitler, NSDAP and the Third Reich during the WW2 in their Barrandov Film Studios. During the so called "communist dictatorship" the "dissident" Václav Havel owned and drove multiple western - imported luxury cars, including Mercedes-Benz (see Václav Havel's private automobiles), which none of the millions of the Communist Party members, the highest ranked not excluding, could ever afford and would ever dare. It is obvious that not the authors of this article, but the promoters of its deletion are PROPAGANDA AGENTS. Václav Havel was a FREEMASON (see VACLAV HAVEL FREEMASON) - so who are the deletion promoters?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.87.32.16 (talk) 16:39, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Phrase is of Urdu language and there would be related coverage in the Urdu-language newspapers. Some refs are already there for WP:V purpose. Störm (talk) 17:23, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Simply stating that there "would be" other sources is not going to suffice. Urdu sources can also be added to the article if at all they exist and are found. Two of the sources currently in the article - Pakistan Today and Daily Pakistan - are verbatim copies of each other. The NDTV source has a mere passing mention of the advert. The only other source is india.com which some editors do not consider to be WP:RS. The topic fails WP:SIGCOV to warrant a standalone article and is already covered in a single line in Mauka Mauka. Dee03 18:10, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Simply going through Category:Television commercials by country will tell that there are dozens of article related to the TV ads and it depends on country to country. In Pakistani case, this is the most notable TV ad. Störm (talk) 18:40, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I will vote later if you tell me that if there can be an article about Indian advertisement Mauka Mauka , then why not about a Pakistani ad that was actually a reply to that? It would be better if an encyclopedia contains articles related to both ads that were made as a result of cricket rivalry. Knightrises10 (talk) 17:31, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    There is an article on Mauka Mauka simply because of the sheer amount of coverage that the advertisement campaign has received. Your argument on why this article should be kept seems to revolve around WP:OTHERSTUFF which should be avoided in a deletion discussion. Dee03 18:10, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Did I say it should be kept? I asked a question and you answered. Knightrises10 (talk) 10:18, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You may not have actually voted but, from what I can comprehend, your comment does read like you are making an argument for keep. Dee03 14:20, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep According to this source, the commercial vent viral and was repeatedly "aired on every channel in Pakistan". Apparently, it is not an ordinary commercial judging by the response received. This article says it is one of the most-viewed Pakistani commercials, receiving 4.3 million hits under 19 hours. Mar4d (talk) 10:25, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Aired on every channel in Pakistan" sounds like the source is WP:SENSATIONALizing the response for the advert. Also fame/popularity does not equal to notability, so the response or the number of views for the advert does not automatically make the topic notable - see WP:BIGNUMBER and WP:FACTORS.

Copying PROD concern about the article:

An—albiet [sic] very popular—internet meme. The article has just two references, and that too to unreliable sources.

Although this meme is extremely popular, there's no significant, in-depth coverage of it in reliable sources for it to satisfy Wikipedia's general notability guidelines.

Band whose claims to passing WP:NMUSIC are not reliably sourced. As always, it's not the claim to passing NMUSIC that gets a band in the door, but the depth of reliable source coverage in media that can be shown to properly verify that the claim to passing NMUSIC is actually true -- but there's not a single reference being cited here at all except their discogs.com entry (which is not a notability-supporting source), and I can't find anything better. Bearcat (talk) 23:23, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: An anonymous IP attempted to salvage this by adding new references, though they failed at adding useful ones that demonstrated the notability of this band: most of the new references are blogs, not reliable sources, and the only two that do count as reliable sources at all are both verifying stray facts about a different band this band once performed with, while completely failing to even namecheck this band's existence at all in the process. That's not how sourcing a band as notable works. Bearcat (talk) 18:59, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any indication that this group meets WP:NMUSIC, under either of its names, "Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra" (MMO) and "Bonne Amie Musical Circle" (BAMC). I know they're quite an old group (going back to 1900), but I did a very thorough check for sources in the historical databases that are available to me, and couldn't find anything substantial.

There were no in-depth sources on Google News or Google Books. I checked all 92 hits for MMO on Newspapers.com and they were all trivial mentions such as "so-and-so, who played with MMO for years" or "the MMO will appear at such-and-such an event" - even going back to their inception in the 1900s. The two Newspapers.com hits for BAMC were trivial also. There were seven hits on Highbeam for MMO and all were trivial. There were no Highbeam hits for BAMC. ♠PMC(talk) 15:49, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I appreciate the deletion nominator's reporting on their efforts to find substantial sources, but still, surely the group, formed in 1900, has significant coverage offline or not easily accessible. Notability is not temporary; offline sources are fine; it is highly reasonable to expect sourcing exists. It could be tagged for more sourcing, but wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. The article includes strong claim of significance: "They are the oldest ensemble of their kind in the United States." There is nothing promotional or commercial or directory-like or otherwise bad about the article. --Doncram (talk) 01:20, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Respectfully, per WP:NEXIST: "once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, especially if time passes and actual proof does not surface." We cannot simply assume that there must be sources, just because it is old. We don't have to be able to access them fully, or hold them in our hands, but we have to have reasonable indication that they actually exist, which at this stage, we don't.
Just to show I really have exhausted all possible avenues: in response to your comment, I went out and checked the Google.newspapers archive of the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel, both of which had nothing. I also checked Newspaperarchive.com (link goes to my search setup), and every single one of the 70 hits generated there was an advertisement for a performance, rather than any kind of substantial discussion or profile about the band.
The article may not be bad or promotional, but we are built to summarize and reflect reliable sources, and if we have nothing to summarize, we can hardly maintain an article per WP:V. ♠PMC(talk) 01:45, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bakazaka, thank you for sharing those results. I haven't seen them myself, but I assume that either of the two Chicago Tribune constitutes significant coverage that should meet the standard. This is specific credible evidence that sourcing exists, even if it has not actually been incorporated into the article, which should suffice per AFD guidelines. --Doncram (talk) 18:42, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Doncram, the article has now been updated with the sourcing I could find. It's still quite stubby, but at least it's sourced. The mentions of the group in the second Tribune article in the list above were not, in my opinion, enough to count. The first Milwaukee Sentinel article I listed above is mostly about the broader history of mandolin groups, with little content specific to this group, and it's by someone affiliated with the group (Ruppa, who did his M.Mus. thesis on local music groups, then apparently became the MMO's director) so I left it out. The other two seem fine. I also added some academic references, one of which is by the same Ruppa person, and the other of which only mentions MMO briefly but confirms some basic facts.

Hi, thank you for doing all that! From what you say I think that Ruppa's thesis and other writings would be very relevant to use in developing the article, too. Although notability sticklers might argue that Ruppa is not independent so those writings don't contribute much or at all towards estabilishing notability. IMO a non-independent source can contribute to notability somewhat. And, this person is apparently an expert on the narrow topic, an authority, and we can use experts. And non-independent stuff certainly can help develop out the article, which, indirectly supports the validity of having a Wikipedia article, i.e. does go to notability, IMHO. So perhaps you could add more, perhaps after this AFD is settled. Thanks so much for you additions! --Doncram (talk) 04:40, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes WP:BAND#1 as "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." Based on the source descriptions of pre-1990 activity for this group as being mostly small and private, there probably isn't much available press coverage from the first ninety years of their existence. But since 1990 or so they have been covered multiple times in multiple RS outlets by multiple writers over several years, which seems to meet the requirements of WP:BAND#1.

fails WP:COMPOSER look like this is a case of WP:TOOSOON the sources are too weak. A couple of interviews a coiple of shorlisting for prizes she didn't win. The prize she won as a young composer is not enough to pass nor her placing as a finalist in the Kandinsky prize "Young Artist. Project of the Year" these are excluded in #4 of the criteria Dom from Paris (talk) 23:30, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete fails WP:COMPOSER, possibly WP:TOOSOON, she's young and actively self-promotes on social media (something creative professionals pretty much have to do,) but searches turn up social media, not WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:34, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not seeing reliable independent WP:SECONDARY sources that talk about her. Most of the refs are just advertisements for performances and other stuff that is more WP:PROMO and WP:USERG. I welcome the creator to identify refs that are clearly independent and secondary that are not of this nature. --David Tornheim (talk) 20:50, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Substantive title[edit]

No reliable sources in the article, nor could I find any. Another editor reasonably knowledgeable about these sorts of things has no idea what this is. The definition of "substantive title" does not satisfy WP:V (and is counter-intuitive to me: why would a substantive title be ceremonial?). Srnec (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article as I found it. The present text is a result of a revert back to August 2017. Srnec (talk) 19:41, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The concerns cited here for deletion are better grounds for editing than elimination. For instance, a "substantive title" is described in the article as "ceremonial" (in contrast to a "ruling" title, e.g., emperor, king), but perhaps "non-reigning" would be a clearer adjective (Prince of Orange" and Duke of Brabant were once the official titles of Continental rulers, yet are now the legal but "ceremonial" titles of certain kings' heirs apparent). Still, "substantive title" belongs to the same category as courtesy title, hereditary title, victory title, etc, as subsets of Titles that distinguish one type of title from another, historically or currently, used by royalty and aristocracy. Last February I began a still needed editing process by restoring to the article English usage from the way an editor found the term used in Flemish for Belgian titleholders. Article serves the useful purpose of clarifying that substantive titles are borne by one person at a time (e.g. "Charles, Prince of Wales", "The Grand Duke of Finland", the Duke of Kent), and thus carry both different meaning and rules than non-substantive titles, which are also legal but borne by all members of a certain class ("Prince Harry of Wales", "Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia", Prince Michael of Kent). Also, article's footnoted. FactStraight (talk) 01:57, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those are not reliable sources. How do you know they didn't derive that meaning from Wikipedia? Srnec (talk) 23:34, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You asked for current usage. The topic is widely covered in British government sources published before Wikipedia was founded. For example [26] [27] in connection to the Earl of Durham. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 23:48, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Satisfies GNG. James500 (talk) 06:29, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- I think the nom has just not understood what the article is about. The British part of the article is accurate. I expect that sources can be found such as Burke's or Debret's peerages. The converse of substantive is courtesy, which never conferred any rights (save exceptionally). I am less familiar with German usage, but think that is also correct.
