Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. Article about an individual that was not played in a WP:FPL and WP:GNG not demonstrated.

Redirect per WP:CHEAP to Airmail etiquette. Bearian (talk) 18:32, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That would point the redirect towards and entirely different subject matter; the target proposed target article is about the actual topic of stamps used in airmail, while the title of this article concerns a specific (but non-notable) organization which is organized for the appreciation of stamps used in airmail. Furthermore, the organization is not even mentioned in the proposed target article. This would not by any means be an appropriate circumstance for a redirect, WP:CHEAP or no. Perhaps you meant to suggest a merge? If there was a merge of content, then the redirect would have a basis, but as there are no RS here, you might hit resistance to even mentioning this group in the proposed target article.

2020 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey[edit]

Keep It's not "too soon" at all. This is the next regularly scheduled biannual election. Who is running is speculative, but the event will happen and is notable. Race ratings are already being released. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:04, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- "What's next for these midterm winners, losers and key players as the run up to 2020 starts", NorthJersey.com, Charles Stile, Trenton Bureau Published 4:50 a.m. ET Nov. 12, 2018. Literally as soon as one House of Representatives election cycle ends, the next one begins. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:10, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Rusf10, to point out what WP:CRYSTAL says, "Individual scheduled or expected future events should be included only if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." This is notable and almost certain to take place. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:13, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It helps if the article contained any actual facts. All it has is speculation about who is going to run, "race ratings" (more speculative editorial content) and a recap of the last election (already covered at 2018 United States House of Representatives elections in New Jersey). This article is completely different from an article such as 2020 United States presidential election where we have declared candidates. It's why we don't have 2024 United States presidential election either. Just because something will happen doesn't mean it gets an article, it needs factual contents, not just speculation about what could happen.--Rusf10 (talk) 01:45, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rusf10, it's a fact that those individuals are speculative candidates. We don't know who is going to play in Super Bowl LIV yet, but we have an article for it for the same reason we should keep this article. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:17, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:: If "notable" where is the significant attention or Wikipedia:neutral point of view? Seven references from the New Jersey Globe on a WP:BLP related article regarding recent news, that will likely change several times and includes multiple wording such as "would not rule out a challenge", "could challenge", "could run against", " is a possible Republican candidate", serves what purpose? I've got it! The event is likely notable but everything past the lead is certainly surmising, conjecture, speculation, or possibilities by one source which should be removed, but that is a content issue.

Delete This is much to question about this article, especially given its COI, SPA, and sockpuppet issues. First, I don't know what Asian Games he supposedly competed in, but they're not the ones generally recognized. The Asian Games are held every 4 years with the next one occurring in 2022, not in 2009 and 2011. They may have been junior martial arts tournaments, given he was about 15 for the first one, but they weren't the Asian Games (which do have wushu). His performance at the World Junior Wushu championships was also less than meets the eye. His two third place finishes were out of 4 competitors and he finished 8th of 10 in his other event at the 2008 tournament. At the 2010 junior championships he finished 5th of 8, 4th of 7, and 11th of 12 in his events. Coverage appears to be routine sports reporting of his results at these events. Doesn't meet WP:MANOTE or WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 23:55, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Papaursa, It may be best to put a COI tag on the page as well. RhinosF1^(chat)_{(status)(contribs)} 06:37, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As per Papaursa. There is just so much wrong with this article.PRehse (talk) 09:54, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The Asian Games which Asadian competed in was The 5th and 6th Asian Junior Wushu Championships which are held every two years and not the Asian games which are held every 4 years. the mistake was acknowledged and edited.

as Asadian's History of Wushu Career is fully displayed on the official website of Iranian Wushu federation, it is undeniable that every medal that he managed to get in the tournaments which are mentioned here are legitimate and are in fact reconginzable competitons. the external link to this page can confirm this.

Although his results in other competetion didn't "meet the eye" he still managed to achieve medals in World Wushu Junior championships and Asian Junior Wushu Championships which can't be simply ignored and overlooked because of his results in other competetions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vira.gh (talk • contribs) 17:28, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Thank you for clarifying that. No one is saying that he didn't win those medals, but that those medals don't confer notability. Junior competitions in martial arts have never been considered sufficient to show notability. Even Youth Olympic gold medalists have had their articles deleted. WP:NSPORT specifically talks about competing "at the highest level", which clearly is not any junior competition (especially when so few competitors are involved). In addition, WP:MANOTE specifically talks about success "as an adult black belt" in competitions with a large number of competitors. I don't see any notability criteria that he meets. Papaursa (talk) 14:35, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Concur with reasonings given above; the junior championships are not sufficient to generate notability. I also would like to note that the main contributor to the article has been creating a series of accounts evading a block. This isn't a reason to delete of course. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:50, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wei Shi[edit]

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

The article is about a computer science academic at Carleton University. I am unable to find any significant coverage in independent sources, although this is somewhat expected for academics. I read the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (academics), but I cannot find any that would apply in this case. The person is an associate professor. The h-index according to Google Scholar is 9 which is somewhat on the low side in computer science. Looking though the publications, I am not able to find any in tier 1 conferences/journals (please correct me if I am wrong here) or any one with a significant impact. It seems like the person is an early career academic and perhaps it is too soon to have an article.

The result was delete. Numerically, this is pretty close, but I find the arguments for delete stronger and far more convincing. Many of the proponents for keeping this point to other stuff, which is not a strong position, especially when I'm not confident some of that other stuff would survive a rigorous AfD themselves. I'm somewhat amenable to the OSE argument when used as an argument that this page could be improved or revamped in the style of another, but it's a weak argument without evidence it can be done. In contrast, the chief arguments for deletion point to the guideline for stand-alone lists, in particular the appropriate topics and inclusion criteria sections; that's a stronger stance and appears applicable to the page in question.

Editor's note: As I was considering closing this and drafting the above statement, three more !votes came in. It doesn't change my opinion of the consensus, but I did consider note closing and relisting it as an active discussion. However, this has been open for three weeks now, and I suspect the main reason more participants are coming is because this is the last AfD from the day (which is how I found it); that's supported by the fact that it has been relisted twice, once with no additional input, so I feel I am not shutting off an ongoing, productive conversation by closing this. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 11:26, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of Greek versions of names[edit]

Keep (Article author) I can't see why an article: "List of names of European cities in different languages" can exist and not this one. Plus, most of them are old disused terns and have encylopedic value. This article tries to help users reading old Greek encyclopedias to understand about who are talking about.

Delete Duplicated by Google Translate and for the most part, every side link to el.wiki. Nate • (chatter) 16:45, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, probably. I note that there is a List of Latinised names, and on its Talk page is the comment "some of the names included in this article are actually hellenised rather than latinised". One of the names identified as hellenised was coined in the Early Middle Ages (Maimonides), some are described as "Coined by Anglo-Norman scribes", some in the Renaissance (eg Gersonides). So there is room for expansion of the current list to include last names; female names (all the names in the current list are male); names which were hellenized at different periods (including possibly names like Xerxes which were hellenized (or written in Greek form) by Herodotus), etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RebeccaGreen (talk • contribs) 17:09 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Comment. The Latinised list is a red herring. That list contains mostly names of famous individuals that are commonly used in the English language (other than the Coined by Anglo-Norman scribes#Surnames subsection, which needs to be cut down drastically). The Greek list just gives translations of generic common names, and is haphazard, to say the least. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:46, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Δελετε per ~~NOTDICT~~ WP:LISTGLOSSARY: "Glossaries – alphabetical, topical lists of terms, rather than of notable entities – are encyclopedic when the entries they provide are primarily informative explorations of the listed terminology, pertaining to a notable topic that already has its own main article on Wikipedia." Also, even a partially complete list of common given names (or uncommon - Ormond?) would be very long. (And the list is 100% male names.) Clarityfiend (talk) 10:54, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:SALAT: "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value". Even a partially complete list of common given names (or uncommon - Ormond?) would be very long. (And the list is 100% male names.) Clarityfiend (talk) 19:17, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ish. I agree with what RebeccaGreen has said. As for the widely cited WP:NOTDICT, the only aspect of it that I see relevant here is WP:WORDISSUBJECT. And no, this list isn't duplicated by what you can expect google translate or the interwiki links to do; but maybe the article needs a clarification of its scope, to avoid similar misunderstandings? – Uanfala (talk) 15:07, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per User:Clarityfiend, Wikipedia:SALAT, as well as an apparent bias. Why do we keep arguing keep because other stuff exists when this is continually argued as not being a good argument at AFD? I see three references for four names out of 117. It really doesn't matter how much we like it right? WOW! More than a list because it has a third column? The lead in the article states "In order for a Greek name to appear in this list it must be used by at least 3 printed books." so if this is not just original research or synthesis where are the sources?. If the "Hellenisation of names" was important should they not be listed in the appropriate articles (ex. Edward under Variant forms, etymology, or something?

Keep (Article author) I have written the article, because DeMuro is a well-known for reviewing cars. Numerous independent sources have written about him including CNBC, Business Insider, and Forbes (which I have all used as sources). Besides, dozens of smaller papers have written articles about him, including a detailed profile in Philadelphia Weekly. DeMuro has three published books, has written for The Truth About Cars and Jalopnik and, besides, has a large following on YouTube. His columns have been published by the Philadelphia Media Network and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The reach of his writings and reviews is reflected by the fact that he is mentioned as a source and in the text of a sizable number of articles on Wikipedia. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of the things you've mentioned confer notability. Please name 3 or more reliable sources that discuss him in detail as required by GNG, or an achievement that rises to the level required by an SNG. John from Idegon (talk) 20:52, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For example, this detailed Philadelphia Weekly profile (1), this Business Insider article (2), and this BI article (3). All have significant coverage (he is the main subject of all three articles), they are reliable (newspaper and BI is a major reliable news website), and all are secondary and independent from the subject. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 07:07, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the PW article is a fine source, but not enough on its own to show notability. As for the other two: First, that's only one source, not two. Second, both are about a single incident (each), not detailed discussion of his life. They are far more about cars than him. Further, any use of BI as a source must be closely scrutinized. See the editorial disclaimer covering the website. Having written books in and of itself is not enough to meet AUTHOR. Again, I would be happy to agree to draftify this to allow you to find better sources. John from Idegon (talk) 08:36, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That first Business Insider article has been written by senior correspondent and author Matthew DeBord. The article indeed discusses cars, because that is what DeMuro is known for. It is about his experience owning, reviewing and writing about the Ferrari 360 Modena, and I would say Doug DeMuro is more than a detail in that article. Another article is from CNBC. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 09:15, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm usually sceptical of the notability of YouTube celebrities, but Dough DeMuro seems to have enough significant coverage in reliable sources. In addition to the ones listed above, there are profiles of him at [3] and [4], and he's widely quoted as a car expert in stories about specific vehicles. --Ahecht (TALK

Keep Despite the fact that Philadelphia Weekly profile is local, it is an INDEPTH profile of him. Business Insider: A guy who endured a nightmare of Ferrari ownership is now suffering with a used Aston Martin is a solid source.

Comment The nomination rationale is misleading. The cited book (preview available at Google Books) contains biographies of 21 people. The subject's biography is 13 pages long. That constitutes WP:SIGCOV, which does not need to be book-length, and need not be the main topic of the source material. It is not sufficient - multiple sources need to be found (I will comment again when I have searched), but the nominator is wrong in implying that it is not WP:SIGCOV. RebeccaGreen (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: WP:SIGCOV does not automatically transfer to notability, but an assumption or presumption, and not a guarantee that an article should exist. Significant coverage in one source may not satisfy a basic criterion of being in multiple published sources or WP:ANYBIO. I will look back to see what User:RebeccaGreen has found. Otr500 (talk) 16:52, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Appears to be COI. THE NEW ImmortalWizard(chat) 21:46, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Neither city nor county councillors get automatic inclusion freebies just for existing — to actually be eligible for a Wikipedia article, the notability tests she would have to pass are that either (a) she had preexisting notability for other reasons besides being a city or county councillor, such as having also served in the state legislature or Congress, or (b) she could be unusually well-referenced as a special case who was significantly more notable than most other city councillors, such as by receiving nationalized coverage far beyond just the expected volume of local media attention that every city councillor everywhere always gets. But neither of those things are in evidence here at all, as so often happens this is written much more like a résumé than a proper encyclopedia article, and there's almost certainly a direct conflict of interest here as the creator's username was "Kferlita".

Delete. Serving as director of a county emergency management department is not an office that gets a person over WP:NPOL, but this is not referenced anywhere near well enough to get him over WP:GNG. Even the inappropriate offsite links that are threaded into the body text, in defiance of WP:ELNO rules, are not reliable source coverage about him in media, but the primary source web pages of the things being named — so they're not sources that help to establish his notability at all. Nothing here, either in the substance or the sourcing, is a reason why a person at this level of prominence would have earned a place in an international encyclopedia — and the article was created by "MinisterGregMertz" with some followup edits by "Rolmertz", but our conflict of interest rules do militate against starting articles about yourself or your own family members.

The current references used in the article are as follows: 1) a memorial on FindaGrave.com (Primary); 2) a link to a now-defunct website but the url appears to focus on the names of parks and highways; 3) memorial on FindaGrave.com, this time for his father (Primary); 4) a link to Ancestry.com with general information about his grandfather; 5) his grandfather's memorial on FindaGrave.com (Primary); 6) non-linked election results; 7) his wife's memorial on FindaGrave.com, masked as a newspaper article in the sourcing; 8) Stewart's basic info on Ancestry.com; 9) what appears to be an unlinked reference to a centennial brochure about Webster Parrish, LA; 10) another dead link for the now-defunct website, this time about a historic house that was owned by one of his ancestors; 11) A PDF that establishes that his half-brother (not Stewart himself) was a member of the LA House of Representatives; 12) Stewart's basic info on Ancestry.com again; and 13) and another memorial on FindaGrave.com. All of the findagraves are technically linked to newspaper articles, but they are local funeral announcements and obits and don't constitute significant enough coverage.

Delete. Being president of a smalltown local school board is not a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL, but there's no credible evidence here that the subject passes WP:GNG. GNG is not simply a matter of counting the number of footnotes present in the article and keeping anything that has more than two of them — GNG tests for depth, geographic range and context, not just number, but (as is almost always the case with Billy Hathorn specials) the sourcing here isn't cutting it at all. The majority of the sources here are genealogy, not journalism, and even the ones that are actual journalism are obituaries of his relatives, not journalism about him. This is not how you reference a smalltown school board trustee as notable enough for Wikipedia. If this were Louisianapedia I probably wouldn't care, but then again I wouldn't be participating in a Louisianapedia in the first place as I know far too little about Louisiana to have anything to contribute to that — but nothing here is evidence that he's earned a place in an international encyclopedia at all.

Unreleased Stephen Stills Album (Southern Cross)[edit]

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

It's unclear if this album ever existed to any degree. The sources provided are 1) a photo caption of Stills at a recording session, 2) a biography that doesn't mention anything about an unrecorded Stephen Stills album, and 3) a music forum (not reliable). I wasn't able to find anything by searching for "unreleased Stephen Stills album" or Southern Cross (which is the name of a CSN song, but doesn't appear to have ever been an album name). Normally WP:NALBUM would dictate that the article should redirect to the artist in case of no notability, but given that this is an unlikely search term and that it's unclear if this album existed in any capacity, I am nominating for deletion instead. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 16:59, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Richard3120 (talk) 23:45, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - We have seen this kind of thing before (e.g. this). Minor recording sessions that were never released get glamorized by fans into a legendary lost album. The nominator is correct that there are no sources indicating that these sessions developed far enough to actually be considered an album. The sessions themselves can be mentioned as a historical tidbit in the career of Stephen Stills. Fantasies of lost albums can be left at fan sites. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Diabetes UK[edit]

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

Appears to fail the requisite depth of coverage for corporations and organisations. Being a national charity founded by somebody who was notable does not make an entity inherently notable, it must still have significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The only two sources which weren't either affiliated or local in terms of media or news that I could find are this and this, both of which are recent articles about the impact of Brexit on diabetics. A spokesperson from the charity is quoted, but the charity itself is not the primary topic of coverage. SITH (talk) 16:27, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sciences Po Law School[edit]

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

Notability, Decided so in French WP: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussion:%C3%89cole_de_droit_de_Sciences_Po/Suppression LLMSorbonne (talk) 15:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Deletion is not justified, especially not on notability grounds. The Wikipedia:Notability Guidelines state that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." A simple Google search of the terms "Ecole de droit de Sciences Po" reveals a host of articles concerning SPLS in many independent publications (higher education guides, well-regarded newspapers, YouTube videos created by people independent of SPLS and aimed at prospective students, professional websites used by lawyers...). The creation of SPLS has even given rise to scholarly articles/debates.

A few examples include:

The existence of a SPLS page cannot be contested on notability grounds.

It is true that the French page was proposed for deletion a few years ago. However, this decision concerned a page written entirely in French, and was made before several reforms aiming at granting increased independence to Sciences Po's graduate schools were implemented (see http://www.mondedesgrandesecoles.fr/frederic-mion-projette-sciences-po-a-lhorizon-2022/). The rationale offered for the deletion of the French WP page does not apply to the English page and, in any event, is much weaker in 2019.

While the French speaking public is likely to know about SPLS and the French higher education system in general, or have access to the relevant information online, such is not the case for the English speaking readership. A SPLS Wikipedia page with objective, independent and up to date information on this topic is therefore valuable. This is all the more true considering that in recent years, SPLS has enjoyed a larger appeal outside of France, leading many non French speakers to seek information on this institution.

It should also be noted that Wikipedia pages concerning a particular university's college, medical school, business school or law school are uncontroversial and seen as valuable to the public. The question is therefore whether SPLS - and indeed other Sciences Po graduate schools - enjoys a sufficient degree of independence from Sciences Po to justify a stand alone page. While this might have justified denying a stand-alone SPLS page a few years ago, this rationale is no longer valid. Sciences Po is engaged in a process of granting more and more independence to, on the one hand, its college and on the other hand, each of its graduate schools. SPLS (just like the Paris School of International Affairs) has become an important and independent part of Sciences Po. It delivers in its own name Honoris Causa degrees and attracts a large number of international students. It has its own faculty, student body and administration/governance. SPLS can therefore be considered as a stand alone part of Sciences Po, which justifies the creation of a stand alone page.

Keep. Can't see any real rationale for deletion. We are not bound by decisions made in other Wikipedias that may have different standards of notability. Appears to be a very notable law school in France. It's true that we don't keep articles on schools, faculties and departments of larger institutions unless they're very notable in their own right, but it would appear that this one is. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:46, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I tried to read the French AFD page for this, and as best as I can tell using Google Translate as my guide, it seems like the final result was merger with another article. There was very little rationale given in the French AFD and it looks more like a straight vote than consensus building and discussion. It was also far from a landslide decision. So I don't think we should give a great deal of weight to that outcome. That being said, it does appear that this institution is notable, as far as I can determine.

The coverage of individual sources may not be super deep given what is known at this time, but it is sufficiently deep and very broad.

Delete as per current sources available. I kind of agree with analysis by Praxidicae. The quality of references are not great, and the ones in reliable sources do not offer much. Some lot of the references contain a quote or two from her. Many of the references are actually referring somewhat to the company, instead of the founder. Being the founder of a notable company could be reasonable claim to notability of course, but there has to be significant coverage, such as about the person's role in founding it, contributions, impact. In this case, there is a dearth of independent third party coverage.--DreamLinker (talk) 19:45, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is sufficient independent, reliable, significant coverage - in Aiomag.de, Gründerszene (which I have found and added), the Kitty Knowles article in Forbes - these are about her role in starting the company. Plus there is some less significant or less independent coverage as well (SBS, and the interviews have a para or two about her before the interview questions, plus are serious questions about her work). It's also sustained over several years. AfD is not about the quality of the article, so any "bio spam" that the article is supposedly "rife" with could be removed by any editor who cared to do so. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:16, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination. The keep suggestions are variations of WP:ILIKEIT and fail to convince. Advertorials, interviews, and the like do not an article make; rather, a brochure. This text appears to be yet another vanity side-project of an entrepreneur. We are being deluged by them of late. -The Gnome (talk) 11:26, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. A lot of her notability seems to hang on Forbes. I was wondering why someone whose notability is about fashion has no articles from the main fashion magazines (e.g. Vogue, Elle, etc.). My impression of fashion is that if something is notable, it gets noted, and fast. On that basis I was leaning to Delete, but then I saw references to Women's Wear Daily (WWD), whose WP article describes it as "the bible of fashion" (I had never head of it). My question is whether her WWD mentions are material? Britishfinance (talk) 13:31, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Her projects are arguably as much tech as they are fashion because of the integration of the technology. There are a number of references from tech news sources. Wired, Motherboard, SXSW. She also displayed items for Lakme Fashion Week and Berlin Fashion Week, which are well-known. I've actually held back from adding much more material that comes from fashion blogs or sounded promotional. LovelyLillith (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. @LovelyLillith: I think you made the right call sticking to the best possible fashion references and avoiding blogs etc. She lives in a world between tech and fashion. Her tech is not notable enough to make her a "real" tech entrepreneur (her LED is not a notable techology), and Forbes articles are a red-herring in this regard. I think she is really LED-tech in fashion (e.g. applied tech), but we get back to the same issue of her strongest fashion reference being WWD? This is very borderline. She is not as un-notable as many other BLPs at AfD, where there is not a single solid RS, but in terms of "several significant independent RS" I feel we are "reaching" for it, which I don't think we should be doing in a BLP? Britishfinance (talk) 22:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If Lang herself is not considered notable, then ElektroCouture probably is. In addition to what's already in the article, there are other sources about the label and clothing - Der Tagesspiegel [8] and [9], Spiegel Online [10], Berliner Zeitung [11], a few paras in a Women's Wear Daily article about Lakme Fashion Week [12]. If this article about Lisa Lang is not kept, please draftify rather than deleting, so it can be revised into one about ElektroCouture. RebeccaGreen (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added some more sources, and several of them discuss and expand upon the concept of the imperial phase. They seem to constitute significant coverage. Gilded Snail (talk) 19:18, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Numerous examples of its usage as described in the article e.g. Billboard on Taylor Swift, TMRW magazine on Katy Perry, NME on Muse, Bob Stanley on Fleetwood Mac, Guardian on Lady Gaga,Financial Times on Ariana Grande, Entertainment Weekly on Madonna etc.

I created the article as I believe the range and frequency of its usage justifies its encyclopedic interest. I also believe the article provides sufficient context to demonstrate the relevance and context of the term.

The Simon Reynolds reference as published in his book Shock and Awe discusses the concept, but it keeps being removed by the nominator even though it is referenced and can be found on Google Books. There's no requirement for an online reference to be given, and the published book is more than sufficient.yorkshiresky (talk) 19:34, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As per Yorkshiresky (talk · contribs)'s argument. Also I think it needs to be understood the user who wants this page to be deleted continues to remove a whole lot of information from the page. (2001:8003:4F0B:4500:DDBA:DF6E:BF0F:B510 (talk) 07:22, 16 February 2019 (UTC))[reply]

Keep - Clearly there's countless examples of the term being used, as other users have noticed. This is a term I've seen a heck of a lot, and Ewing has used it frequently elsewhere such as on Freaky Trigger. A site specific Google search through the Guardian alone for the term reveals pages full of "imperial phase" being used, with a Take the Crown review also outlying how Tennant says an imperial phase ends. Doing the same site specific Google search with other websites like Pitchfork reveals lots of other uses, while this has a bit more detail on the phase of he who coined the term, for instance. Certainly a widely-used shorthand.--TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 02:43, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
IF kept, article should be moved to Imperial phase (arts) to distinguish this from use of this phrase in sentences like: " the aggressive Imperial phase of Athenian foreign policy," " the aggressive Imperial phase of Athenian foreign policy," "1532, the imperial phase of the Ibero-African frontier began," "neither Britain nor France is completely out of its post-imperial phase," and so forth.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:52, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with fire. Let's see here: made her screen debut in a show that didn't even exist for another five years, then had a one-off guest role, then played the lead in the Swedish version of a TV series that's not actually sourceable as ever having had a Swedish version in the first place — and never got an IMDb profile at all, let alone any reliable source verification of any of this. I was sorely tempted to just close this discussion and pull the speedy trigger on it under a combination of G3+A7, but I stopped myself short. Bearcat (talk) 23:22, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The best I can find is this promo for the show on Disney Channel Sweden, which appears to have the original Australian actresses, not her. I thought perhaps she might've dubbed a voice in the Swedish version as a stretch, but I can't find any evidence of even that. LovelyLillith (talk) 18:30, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm going to close this since this looks to be a fairly clear hoax. Here's the evidence: there's just no coverage out there for this person and the person who created the page was also making hoax edits like this, to try to add mention of another actress that looks to be a fairly clear hoax. There's also the claim of her playing a lead in a Swedish version of H2O: Just Add Water, which is suspicious given that there's no media or forum coverage of such an adaptation ever existing. It looks like there was a dub made per this forum post but there's no evidence of there ever being an actress by this name who performed the dub. Swedish can be searched via Google and a look for any sourcing that mentions Meyers with the show title and svenska bring up nothing except Wikipedia mirrors, which would make no sense unless the article was a hoax. There would be some sort of coverage for an adaptation and at the very least, there would likely be some mention of her somewhere on a forum. Then there's the most damning evidence of all, that she was on a show years before it even aired. The article says that the guy who came up with the show did so after working on the first season of Hannah Montana, which didn't premiere until 2006. If we wanted to get even more pedantic in pointing things out, HM got its start from an episode of That's So Raven that aired in 2005, a full year after this person would have supposedly performed as an extra in WoWP. Unless she and the entire production has real magic (in which case, please share) there's no way that any of this is real.

A mnemonic for the parts of speech in English. Pretty much the only source is the brief description in this book (and in two other books by the same author). You can tell how obscure this is by the fact that the results in a web search (not numerous at all) are dominated by forums and wikipedia mirrors. – Uanfala (talk) 02:40, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Incredibly sad but seems to be WP:NOTNEWS. Meatsgains^(talk) 02:24, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or rename. His death was covered extensively by multiple WP:INDEPENDENT WP:RS, and so the event meets WP:GNG. If necessary, the article could be renamed "Death of Willie McCoy". Zazpot (talk) 02:33, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

His death appears to be more notable than him personally so it might be worth renaming to "Death of Willie McCoy". Meatsgains^(talk) 02:46, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Above, I suggested renaming the article to "Death of ...", but others have noted below that "Shooting of ..." would be more suitable in this instance, and I agree. Zazpot (talk) 12:58, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This person is only known for the controversial circumstances of his death. Available sources provide only the most rudimentary background information about the person. It may be early to judge persistent notability, but refactoring to ~~Death of Willie McCoy~~ makes sense at this point. • Gene93k (talk) 08:01, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

With the discussion below, I'll amend my comment to support a move to "Shooting of Willie McCoy". • Gene93k (talk) 16:21, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rename Meets WP:GNG per the links on the page. This is clearly a WP:BIO1E situation. Contrary to some editors view, WP:BIO1E is not a good rationale for deletion - it is simply a reason for changing the name of the article to be about the event rather than the person. Based simply on existing articles (Shooting of Jemel Roberson, Shooting of Antwon Rose Jr., Shooting of Stephon Clark, Shooting of Anthony Weber, etc.) the title should be Shooting of Willie McCoy for consistency. FOARP (talk) 08:43, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to something like "Death of Willie McCoy" or "Shooting of Willie McCoy". As previously mentioned the shooting has been covered by independent, reliable sources but the late rapper himself wasn't really notable. GN-z11 ^☎ ^★ 09:04, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to Shooting of Willie McCoy Today's BBC: Six California officers shot man as he woke in his car. Unusual police shooting getting international coverage.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:05, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Shooting of Willie McCoy or something similar. The fact that he was a rapper has merely been mentioned as supporting info in news reports on his death, but of course the shooting incident has become much more notable. The article then needs to be expanded with coverage of the shooting. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:51, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to above suggested new page. Also per WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 16:04, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
comment this indeed is a tragic event and I am not trying to minimize that. Instead of redirecting it to an article with a title like Murder of Willie McCoy, why not just merge it with an article like List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, 2019 or something similar?

Keep, rename to Shooting of Willie McCoy. Police shooting with international coverage, persisting though the date of this !vote - hence - should be kept per WP:RAPID. Icewhiz (talk) 10:22, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
