Content now mostly merged into Earth shelter, at least those parts of the article which were suitable for the encyclopedia. Other alternative would be to merge more content to the Peter Vetsch article, or reduce this to an article which entirely focusses on his take on earth sheltering, and have it as a sub article of earth sheltering, in which case I will leave that for a future editor.

  • Redirect for now. Not opposed to merging but the main article should include information on other songs too if they are found to be worth mentioning. Џ 00:30, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the song may have only charted on the US Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, but it has enough significant information about the song, not the album in the 'Background and composition' and 'Legacy' sections to pass WP:NSONG with this being the only chart position. --Kyle Peake (talk) 21:14, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only significant role was in one music video, all other roles are very minor. The notability seems to be inherited from Michael Jackson. Also, the article is suspected to be the subject of undeclared paid editing. Atlantic306 (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect (to The Way You Make Me Feel) - wildly off satisfying any of WP:NACTOR criteria. That said, clearly her most significant piece of acting is in this video, and it is also the only thing she is likely to be searched for in relation to on wikipedia.

  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a personal homepage.CoronaryKea (talk) 09:53, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Notability is not inherited. Rzvas (talk) 02:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for moment. An unusual case this. No real RS on newspaper sources (surprising for a media-related BLP). Loads of images but that is not acceptable on WP for notability. However, she does have a book where even though she is listed as a co-author, it was really written by Tonia Ryan. She also gets a whole chapter in this book Michael Jackson and Women: Chapter V Tatiana Thumbtzen. I can also see material magazines in which she appears (Ebony), as well as a lot of Michael Jackson books (I won't list them all here). I would like another re-list to check these and see if I can update her article. No point in having a "contrived" notability from odd sources, however, I'm not convinced this is a solid delete either. Britishfinance (talk) 19:05, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't understand why the Undisclosed Paid tag was added. There is nothing on the Talk Page and the article was created over a decade ago? Any "blocked editors" that I can see on the history were removing material. I can't see where the reason for applying the tag came from? Britishfinance (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • A ghostwritten autobiography is not an independent reliable source and the Michael Jackson book sources are inherited notability from Michael Jackson and support her inclusion in the Michael Jackson article but not in a standalone article in my view, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 21:25, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. She is given a long interview in Spike Lee's Bad 25 (film) 2012 film,[ she also gets a half-chapter in Joe Jackson's book about Michael which has material about her that does not appear in this article. Being the subject of a biography is also part of being notable, particularly when the main author also has their own WP article. I am not saying the case is a slam-dunk either way, but there are editors who have saved WP articles on AfD with far less material. Britishfinance (talk) 21:36, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to The Way You Make Me Feel#Music video. I do not see significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources, or really much coverage at all, apart from her connection with Michael Jackson. The chapter in the book Michael Jackson and Women might be SIGCOV (I don't know as there's no preview online), but even if it is, it would not be sufficient by itself. She does not meet WP:ENT, as she has had only one significant performing role, and I can't find any evidence of her modelling work. RebeccaGreen (talk) 00:31, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Although the incident itself generated a certain amount of press solely due to being an incident involving a member of the royal family, there is a solid consensus that the event itself is too trivial to merit a separate article on this incident. I will move the content to a subpage of Talk:Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, so that information is available to be merged into Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh as needed to present the historically significant information. bd2412 T 01:07, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

2019 Prince Philip Road Accident and Licence Surrender[edit]

2019 Prince Philip Road Accident and Licence Surrender (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)

This article has an additional section added entitled 'Surrender of driver licence' to the previous article 2019 Prince Philip road accident - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2019 Prince Philip road accident. This probably removes it from WP:G4 consideration so a fresh AFD is needed. This is a procedural nomination on which I am not expressing view at this stage. Just Chilling (talk) 22:16, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I am British, and here in Britain, this sort of event affecting royalty IS VERY notable. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:57, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Something is not notable simply because you say it is. All the coverage of this incident and it's aftermath is routine news reporting. Holotony (talk) 06:19, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Still clearly WP:NOTNEWS, all the arguments from the previous AFD still applyHolotony (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the previous AfD. And isn't this an obvious re-creation? Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:04, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per WP:NOTNEWS, and I don't see that the addition of one piece of very minor trivia (a 97-year-old has agreed to stop driving, probably on the orders of his wife - is that really so earth-shattering?) should be enough to stop this qualifying for WP:G4. And, in reply to Anthony, I too am British and I agree that this sort of royal event attracts lots of news coverage, but this is an encyclopedia, not a newspaper. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:49, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
it was not only in newspapers but on foreign TV in January AND February. The article is not there to make fun of the guy. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:14, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Being on TV news reports in many different countries, and even in two consecutive months, doesn't stop those being news reports, rather than the secondary sources on which we should base Wikipedia articles. And who said anything about making fun of the guy? Phil Bridger (talk) 19:56, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete per WP:G4 as above. We had the discussion, people gave their view, the outcome was clear. This is a blatent attempt to try and circumvent the process by making a minor addition which changes nothing at all. Bungle (talkcontribs) 08:58, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, there was a long lasting effect, surrendering his licence to avoid prosecution. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:14, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That effect is only long lasting for Philip himself (if he lives for a long time), rather than for anyone else. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The result was delete, rather than no consensus (if it were the latter, then the article would not have been deleted). Of the 3 keeps you mentioned, 1 of them was from the creator (a given), and another subsequently suggested a merge might be more appropriate. If following wikipedia policy, G4 covers this and it should be speedily deleted. Bungle (talkcontribs) 09:46, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait for the CPS decision on whether Philip will be prosecuted. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:34, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not sufficiently notable to warrant its own article. CPS have announced they will not prosecute. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:14, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • If we buy into the "it's in the news so we must have an article on it" idea then surely the fact that this is being reported today (I heard it on BBC Radio 4 news earlier) means that this event has become even more notable? Phil Bridger (talk) 17:29, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, if we do, that's fair comment. I don't buy into that. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:31, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I thought stories like these were for the tabloid papers?! Oleryhlolsson (talk) 13:41, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The incident is a minor road traffic accident and is of no long-term significance. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • That "no-one can predict its long-term significance" is precisely why we should not have an article yet. The way things are supposed to work is that first a topic should become notable, and only then should we have an article about it. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Long-term significance already happened, he surrendered his licence and not right away but 2 weeks later AFTER getting a replacement Land Rover. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Two weeks long-term? Don't be so silly. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:47, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete First off, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, so we avoid over coverage of recent events. Add to this the fact that in general events in a person's life are covered in the biography of that person. We need something truly, truly extraordinary to justify a separate article, and this is not something of that nature.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:37, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Like Health of Donald Trump, a notable joke article about everything but his health? Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:38, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
extraordinary? Not just a "fender bender" but the Land Rover was on its side, other car passenger had broken bones, and the Duke of Edinburgh surrendered his licence. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Many accidents that cause broken bones and the surrender or loss of a driving licence happen every day, so not extraordinary at all. This has only been in the news because Philip is a public figure, so a mention is warranted in his article. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:05, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article has long lasting effects. The Duke of Edinburgh broke someone's arm and permanently gave up driving. In 1964, he had a collision but there was no long lasting effect and no Wikipedia article. Princess Diana's road accident is also covered in Wikipedia. The accident also brought up into public discussion elderly driving. There are too many details to merge it with the Prince Philip article. If the Duke of Edinburgh, at age 96 in 2017 let his licence expire or returned it, it wouldn't be a Wikipedia article, I agree. However, he had a very serious accident and many other factors leading to a permanent, long lasting change, surrender of licence. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:12, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think Diana's collision may have had a slightly bigger impact on the world. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:14, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • True, because people died. However, death is not a requirement in Wikipedia.
WP:NOTNEWS is cited but this article passes the NOTNEWS criteria:
WP:NOTNEWS means (and I quote below)

For example, routine news reporting of announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia.

THIS IS NOT ROUTINE

Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic.

THIS IS MORE THAN A SINGLE EVENT. IT WAS ABOUT THE LACK OF APOLOGY, CONTINUED UNSAFE DRIVING, WORLDWIDE DEBATE ABOUT THE ELDERLY, BELATED APOLOGY, SURRENDER OF LICENSE

A diary.

THIS IS NOT A DIARY.

So while citing "WP:NOTNEWS" sounds like a nice reason, this article complies with not being news just the same as Asiana Airlines Flight 214 is a news article. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Well, you know that accident actually involved 307 people, three of whom died. (One of those was run over by a rescue vehicle after she had died, although it wasn't a Land Rover Freelander or a Kia Carens). Martinevans123 (talk) 19:51, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. CLOSE THIS AFD AS A KEEP - WHEN A NOMINATOR DOESN'T BELIEVE IN DELETE OR CHANGES THEIR MIND FROM DELETE TO KEEP, THE AFD CLOSES. THE NOMINATOR DOES NOT ADVOCATE KEEP. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 19:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment @Squeaky Rubber Duck: Your intentions towards wanting to retain the article appear in good faith, however I am concerned that you have been blind-sided by your own belief for what is noteworthy inclusion as a long-lasting wikipedia article. I would even go as far as to say (although I can't validate this view), that you seem more keen to have an article you can put your name to and claim credit for than to consider the reality of its noteworthiness. Yes, it made news; yes, people talked about it and yes, it was not Philip's finest hour.. yes, it is news. However, it's not the event in particular that made the news, but the individual whom was the primary subject matter. I have previously said that if we had law changes in this country that could be directly attributed to this event and a discussion in parliament surrounding specifically this event, with proven long-lasting effects with sustained news coverage, then it would have to be considered differently. This AfD is only 2 days in and yet there is already an overwhelming majority who have the foresight to judge this with clear understanding on wikipedia's policy surrounding news vs not-news. I perceive your recent contributions towards this AfD as a forlorn attempt to make something greater than what it is to support your own position. I'd encourage you to invest your time and efforts into an article that will not be in vein. Bungle (talkcontribs) 20:59, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete. It's clearly a recreation of an article previously deleted per a deletion discussion, as is obvious by comparing the last deleted version with the first recreated version: [8]. SPA who created it both times should be blocked if the article is recreated again. DrKay (talk) 21:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The incident is already covered in sufficient detail in Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh#Retirement. No redirect is needed. —teb728 t c 08:09, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Redirect with regret. I feel sorry for this article as it is well written and referenced. The "event" is drowning in strong independent RS from UK and even International outlets (given Philip's own mega-notability). However, the essence of the event is trivial, and WP is not The DailyMail. WP:NEVENT is unlikely to be met here, HOWEVER, I could also live with a Redirect to Phillip's BLP to preserve the content just in case something happens down the line (e.g. UK driving laws amended on the back of this). It would also be fun to preserve the content of the above entertaining discussion on the Talk Page. Britishfinance (talk) 13:32, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The probability of the Queen abdicating before she dies is definitely not zero, so you are arguing against yourself. When an current active WP editor has written a well referenced WP article that does not involve clear WP:PROMO or WP:COI (or other offensive aspect), I like to pay them some respect for their efforts, and where I can offer them even a small bone, I do. Britishfinance (talk) 14:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • On second thoughts, you are right. The probability of a change to the law, because of this, is almost certainly zero. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:07, 16 February 2019 (UTC) yes, I looked for a small bone on eBay too, but found only bits of plastic.[reply]
  • Comment - additional comment WP:NOTAVOTE Wikipedia is not a vote. The argument of "not news" is not a Wikipedia policy. However, there is WP:NOTNEWS which is not "not news". Rather, WP:NOTNEWS is about original reporting, one event, and routine news (see the NOTNEWS guidelines page). This article is not about one trivial event but a series of internationally well covered events such as the accident, apology controversy, debate about elderly drivers, controversy over Prince Philip continuing to drive and in a dangerous manner (including no seat belt), surrender of license, and (not yet in article) the decision not to prosecute in part due to surrender of license. Not one trivial event. Many oppose users are deletionists but this Wikipedia article shouldn't be the sacrificial lamb. One viewer did say this article is well written and reference and nobody said the article was junk. Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 18:59, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - SPECIAL NOTICE TO ADMINISTRATION This AFD was decided as no consensus, default to keep on 16 February 2019 but someone who did not like the result, reverted it back to an open AFD. I believe this is improper. If allowed to occur then anyone could change an AFD result that they didn't like. See

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2F2019_Prince_Philip_Road_Accident_and_Licence_Surrender&type=revision&diff=883577654&oldid=883570615 Squeaky Rubber Duck (talk) 18:52, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, this really was "one trivial event." The only reason it received so much media coverage was because of the identity of one of the drivers. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:08, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If we're going to get into special notices to administration (with or without capital letters) I would point out that the editor who tried to close this before seven days were up was canvassed by the article creator, made the closure as that editor's sixteenth edit and was involved. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh dear. Alarm bells start to ring, I fear. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:45, 16 February 2019 (UTC) ....and I don't mean on the 1950s Black Mariah c/o the Old Bill, either ....[reply]
I think it's clear where this is headed; it has 1 less keep vote than the last one (courtesy of Martinevans123), of which 1 (or half) is still also the article creator and there was no dispute on the previous AfD outcome. Despite my suggestion some days prior, Squeaky Rubber Duck continues to push this "dead duck" of an AfD. I suggest maybe salting both articles and requesting any future attempt should be approved, perhaps via WP:AfC (although yet another title could well be used to circumvent that). Bungle (talkcontribs) 20:55, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not a notable event. In 2015 nearly 30 000 licences were surrended in the previous 12 months.[1] Only notability is the subject of the RTC. If it had been a member of the public, it might have reached the local newspaper. The article's whole tone sounds as if it has been copied from various tabloids. Equine-man (talk) 23:22, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, in cases like this, with an older driver, it is not official CPS policy to not pursue a conviction when a license is surrendered, but it is just more convenient, as it achieves much the same end result and costs the tax-payer nothing. Emma Fairweather may have been covered for injury under the Kia driver's insurance, even in a "no fault found" situation. But I suspect we will never know. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:44, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I already closed this AFD as no consensus, default to keep but some, at least twice, did not like it so they removed my closure. This is inappropriate. At the time of closure, I weighed many opinions including the not news argument. This AFD should be closed with the same result as I made because otherwise it would be a bad precedent that if you disagree with an AFD, you can just remove the closure.

  • Delete It's not often a database search for a name comes up with zero hits, but that's what's happened here. The name is a pseudonym, apparently. More importantly, there seems to be little to no coverage of what appear to be self-published (iUniverse, etc) books, so there's no clear path to notability under WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG.

Per WP:BEFORE source searches, this subject fails WP:BASIC notability standards to qualify for an article. Said searches are providing no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, and very little coverage in said sources at all. Those found consists of fleeting passing mentions, name checks and quotations, the latter of which are primary in nature.

  • Delete Community consensus is that LDS leaders have to pass WP:GNG (see discussions in 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2018). This one does not. Cited sources are either not independent (Mormon Times, Liahona, Ensign) or not reliable (self-published "Grampa Bill"). Even more remarkable is that the included sources, while not independent, are mostly just passing mentions in job change announcements, one of which was cited to support a claim it did not even discuss. The article is basically just the corporate bio from LDS public relations. Independent reliable sources don't offer much either, as the subject is mentioned in passing (spoke at an event, changed jobs) or quoted without critical analysis. None of it is significant coverage of this subject. Some LDS leaders pass WP:GNG. This one does not seem to pass. Open to reconsidering if significant coverage of this subject emerges in multiple, reliable, independent sources. Bakazaka (talk) 20:43, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable software that simply fails WP:GNG for lack of significant coverage from secondary reliable sources. WP:BEFORE does not bring me much except download links and blogs or forums, with books being about Mediaman Infotech. The references included in the article are the one in the AfD which are:

  • 1. Official website (WP:PRIMARY source)
  • 2. A review written by a person named Howard and has a link posted at the end of it as a promotional part. Enough said about the site's reliability.
  • 3. This one is a good reference, covers the subject in detail, is reliable. But not enough on it's own.
  • 4. Is a blog as said on the https://www.musicbymailcanada.com/index.html which makes it not a reliable source, nor it has any author attached to it (not a surprise). Jovanmilic97 (talk) 11:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MarkZusab (talk) 17:54, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
MarkZusab WP:GNG requires significant coverage. For the Neowin one, I said it in my nom above, the review itself is PR per the link placement and the end and (at that time) did not have an editorial control at least (because of the author's name in the article, making it blog like). CNET one, eh. Is it really a WP:SIGCOV? I dont see much about the software itself here and is written by Download.com staff. Techadvisor and Techworld are the same one, but it is a solid one to use, thanks for finding it. Lifehacker reference is not a WP:SIGCOV, only the first two sentences are about the software itself, also a blog making it unreliable. And the second Softpedia reference is the download page from which content already exists in the first one anyways. Even with Softpedia and Techraptor reference, I feel it is too borderline for me to consider withdrawing the nom. If someone finds something else, I will immediately do that.

Fails WP:GNG, I can't find any reliable sources quoting her as a notable person, and based on the article,it might not be right to classify her as a "social reformer". Those who think this article shouldn't exist should also have a look at the articles edited by User:Anusut, seems to be a case of COI Daiyusha (talk) 13:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Shantikunj. There may be more sources for her specifically, but what I have found (not much in English; there may well be more in Hindi) is about her in relation to the spiritual organisation and her husband (eg Divine Enterprise: Gurus and the Hindu Nationalist Movement by Lise McKean (University of Chicago Press, 1996) [16]; an article in United News of India about the BJP national president, which includes that he paid tribute at the shrine to both husband and wife [17]). RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:49, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@RebeccaGreen I am from India, and based on my experience here, i can say most if not all "reliable" "Indian" sources will always be in English, such is the importance English is given here, Only "local" news agencies will be in Hindi because Hindi is not the native language of about 50% of Indians. There are national-level hindi news agencies as well, but they(on their own) certainly don't qualify as "Reliable". And based on that opinion, I ignored any Hindi sites that come up as a search result. Either way, I know Hindi and if anyone who doesn't know it want help regarding translation of a hindi source, i'm happy to help. Daiyusha (talk) 16:05, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I do rather wish that there was a 'WP:Behind every great man stands a great woman'. That is, a lot of women in history may have done noteworthy work but only their husband gets mentioned in written sources. Anyway, I have found an academic source for this person running the All World Gayatri Pariwar after her husband's death (and a quick scholar.google.com search indicates that this is a notable organisation). And there's decent evidence for her editing the journal Akhand Jyoti. (I've added these points to the article lead.) These might be considered substantial enough achievements to meet GNG? It would be helpful to find proper references for her Veda commentaries as well. Alarichall (talk) 18:51, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I have seen a quite a few LDS-Church BLPs deleted this week on the basis that any of their references were specific only to sources from their own organisation (which was the right decision per WP policy). This case would almost exactly meet that test; outside of her own followers, she is not notable. There seems to be a few eastern "gurus" in the AfD queue that keep trying to get their articles on en-WP for some reason. But outside very narrow sources (few of whom are RS), there is no material WP:GNG. Britishfinance (talk) 01:21, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. We have to be careful about using Merge or Redirect with these "gurus" as there is often a strong WP:COI aspect to their article creation (per this BLP Gaur Gopal Das), and I fear they will keep coming back. I notice that nomination of this AfD also concerns WP:COI. Britishfinance (talk) 01:24, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - there is not GNG here. None of the articles discuss him in detail. None. And the SNG is clear, it does not kick in until he plays in the bigs. John from Idegon (talk) 21:13, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to Detroit Tigers minor league players I explain this in far more reasoning here, including why the sourcing doesn't really help him clear GNG as is being argued, but the community has decided that being a baseball prospect (even a really good one) isn't worthy of inclusion. This makes sense when 1/3 of 1st round picks like Manning never make the majors. We have no deadline, let's make sure that we reach a point where manning will be worthy of being thought of in 10 years, by letting him clear the SNG bar. Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:13, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Barkeep49, you're speaking in generalities about prospects, but this is a discussion about one specific prospect. Have you read these sources? Because they don't present run of the mill coverage. Your essay doesn't apply to a case where the subject has sourcing like this, covering his life in detail. One third of first round picks don't make the majors, but that's a misleading stat. Most of those two thirds who don't make the majors have flamed out or are still struggling in the low minors at this point in their careers. Manning just had his best season. Barring a major injury or an unforseen collapse, Manning will be a major leaguer, as early as 2019. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:40, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu I have read that some of that coverage, and skimmed the rest. I have also read similar coverage about literally dozens of other prospects. I enjoy reading it. I'm a baseball fan. That doesn't make Manning notable in a Wikipedia sense and in fact the prevalence of such coverage is at the core of why I argue we should give greater deference to the criteria of SNG. Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:49, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Barkeep49, GNG supersedes SNGs in all cases. You don't think that 18 sources cited inline, most of them having significant depth, plus one further reading source, plus all of the other ones I didn't add to the article, meets GNG? Fine, that's your opinion. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:50, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu I don't dispute that GNG supersedes the SNG which is why I wrote an entire essay about how GNG looks so great in these situations at first blush but really isn't - too long to repeat at AfD. The 17 sources linked are exactly the kind that highly touted draft picks receive, they are simply not special. If Manning fails to reach the major league we will likely not care about him in 10 years. Notability is not temporary and the kind of sustained coverage necessary to qualify for notability is not met by an otherwise unexceptional first round draft pick like Manning. Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 04:18, 11 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Barkeep49, how much do we care about someone who played briefly in the major leagues over ten years ago? Yet, they meet notability. How much we are likely to "care" about Manning whether or not he makes the majors in the future seems like an odd rationale to support deletion. It's the quality of the sourcing that matters, and his has been sustained since his high school days. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:05, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu Well we seem to care a fair amount about Aaron Bates who played in 5 games 1 season 10 years ago. Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:16, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    And I'll add I can find a bunch other one season wonders from that season covered on Wikipedia in some level of depth: [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] and those were just the first six Baseball Reference told me who only played that season. Some of those players had clear and decisive outcomes on major league games. Others not as much. Are you aware of any players who played in the minors in 2009, never reached the majors, and who still have Wikipedia articles? Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 22:39, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Barkeep49, Matt Manning's article currently has better sourcing than Aaron Bates', and Bates is a MLB coach at present. There are plenty of MiLB-only players with Wiki bios, including some that I've written. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:53, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree there are some MiLB only players. My question is can you show any MiLB only players from 10 years ago that survive today. I see such players get PRODed successfully regularly and it is my contention that routine coverage of 1st round draft picks simply doesn't provide longterm permanent notability. Best wishes, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:00, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I hesitate to do this because this WP:OTHERSTUFF issue has nothing to do with Manning, but Brien Taylor, Matt Harrington, Ty Hensley, Ntema Ndungidi, Ryan Westmoreland, and Jackson Melián come to mind. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:14, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

East Central Minnesota[edit]

This region, as defined in the article, seems to be an invention by prominently mentioned "development consortium" GPS:45:93. Other than their brochure, only one of the cited sources even mentions "East Central Minnesota", and it's unclear whether they mean the same region. I couldn't find significant references to those five counties as "East Central Minnesota" outside Wikipedia and its mirrors. The local library organization and labour council use the term "East Central Minnesota", but they don't mean these five counties (and they don't agree with each other, either), so there's no indication that this is a well-defined region. The content of the article is mostly a bunch of lists and statistics that may be correct, but grouping them in this way is original research. Huon (talk) 21:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This region is specifically defined in many places, most notably by the State of Minnesota here. Places in proximity to the region or adjacent to the region are at times loosely and incorrectly referred to as in East Central Minnesota, but locals know which five counties are in actuality in the region.--John2690-john2690 (talk) 03:42, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@John2690-john2690: So the East-Central Regional Library, East Central Minnesota Area Labor Council, East Central Energy, and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources are all non-locals who don't know what they're talking about? Sure about that? Huon (talk) 19:50, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Delete to Minnesota. Fails WP:GNG and consequently fails WP:GEOLAND.--Pontificalibus 11:02, 26 January 2019 (UTC) ...Changed to delete on reflection because there is nothing here worth mentioning not already mentioned in Geography of Minnesota.--Pontificalibus 16:34, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - as it meets WP:GEOLAND as a legally recognized place by the State of Minnesota here. The other aforementioned organizations (i.e. labor council, electric co-op, etc.) loosely base themselves on this region. Are you able to clarify your reference about the Minnesota DNR? Thanks. --John2690-john2690 (talk) 02:10, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
East Central Minnesota Economic Development Region is not a "populated place" which is what WP:GEOLAND refers to, it is an area - are you suggesting that all the other areas on that page are automatically notable, e.g. Workforce Service Area 03, Mankato-North Mankato Micro-Statistical Area? --Pontificalibus 09:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Workforce service area 3 is not an apples-to-apples comparison. Mankato-North Mankato Micro-Statistical Area already has a page Mankato – North Mankato metropolitan area although entitled incorrectly. All of Minnesota's micropolitan statistical areas have their own Wiki pages. East Central Minnesota is more than an economic development region; it is a notable place name, important to Minnesotans and non-Minnesotans alike.--John2690-john2690 (talk) 15:58, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, the Mankato-North Mankato Metropolitan Area (not micropolitan, no, they are a federally designated MPO now see https://mnmapo.org/) is different then a multi-county region of a state. We aren't talking about Southern Minnesota or South-Central Minnesota. Neither of those have pages and are far more culturally defined. By comparison Region Nine Development Commission does not have a separate page. That is an apples to oranges comparison and your point is factually inaccurate. Outside of maybe the economic development staff and some regional planners the term does not have relevance in a common, verifiable way that is appropriate for a seperate Wikipedia page. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 20:48, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Please see Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, East Central Energy Coop, East Central Economic Development, Habitat.org. It goes on forever, but East Central Minnesota is not an "invention". Also see Texas Hill Country, Southern California, Mississippi Delta, and on and on. Do not merge. — Maile (talk) 15:14, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those three regions all have multiple sources dicussing the characterstics of the relevent region in detail. However, the sources you've provided don't represent signficant coverage in reliable sources. The first also assigns 13 counties to the region, only two of which are present in the list of 5 counties in our article. WP:GEOLAND states "subdivisions...informal regions of a state..should be included in the more general article" if they fail WP:GNG.--Pontificalibus 15:36, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Maile66: - do any two of those organizations use the same definition of "East Central Minnesota"? I don't think so. Are there reliable sources that consistently define what "East Central Minnesota" is and that discuss it? I haven't seen any. Just becase the combinations of words "East Central Minnesota" (or "east central Minnesota") sees use, it's not necessarily a valid topic for an encyclopedia article. Removing all WP:SYN content would amount to blanking the page. Huon (talk) 19:50, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge with Geography of Minnesota. I haven't run into anything significant describing this region that wasn't related to a watershed or flooding. Consider also merging Central Minnesota, which also suffers from a lack of content.--Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 16:37, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All trivial passing mentions, like "central southern England" which is used by e.g. weather forecasters but doesn't warrant an article because there is no in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources.--Pontificalibus 07:40, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@John2690-john2690: Standard protocol on Wikipedia is that you should only give one bold "keep" vote. It's improper to reply to another user in a deletion discussion with a bold "keep" if you have already stated your opinion, because it is otherwise difficult to distinguish and may appear as additional support.--Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 16:56, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy. Do not keep this in the Main article space. It currently fails WP:GNG. WP:USERFYIT until significant coverage occurs. Pontificalibus finds that sources ... don't represent significant coverage in reliable sources. Unable to locate better sources, I agree with Pontificalibus. I encountered the same as Molandfreak, finding (nothing) significant describing this region and I support Huon's finding that removing all WP:SYN content would amount to blanking the page. -- Paleorthid (talk) 21:25, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is a WP:SYNTH article and should be deleted. Of the sources provided above, none of them clearly define "East Central" as a source. This is functionally a WP:NORG article for the GPS thing masquerading as a geography article, though there are a couple of other organisations which do appear to serve the five county region, though there are many other articles which define the area more broadly. SportingFlyer T·C 23:04, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a WP:SYNTH article and should be deleted. Being that I am member of Minnesota wikiproject and from Minnesota I have yet to hear of a commonly accepted definition of what "East Central Minnesota" is. I think that this is original research that was used to create a new term that is not narrowly defined, verifiable way. Yes, there is a regional development commission that covers this area but there is not enough verifiable information nor is there a true body of culture that exists to differentiate what is and is not 'east-central' vs 'central' vs 'west-central'. This concept stands apart from commonly use references to regions such as Northern Minnesota, the Iron Range, the Twin Cities, Southern Minnesota, the Arrowhead etc. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 20:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I am not too concerned by inconsistent definitions, but the article as it stands amounts to promotion for GPS:45:93 and the definition is based on their interests. Having said that, there is a possible article to write at this title. I am seeing a lot of sources on the geology of the region which seems to be distinctive, and possibly the same for ecology. SpinningSpark 19:47, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Just because a region may exist (with or without defined boundaries) there no need to duplicate such basic mundane information like the county seats just because it's there. Even if it has distinctive geology there's Geology of Minnesota and this article is pointless synthesis. Reywas92Talk 23:48, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • It may make some sense to take off county seats, but this region has defined boundaries by the State of Minnesota (region 7e, East Central Minnesota) and numerous other regional organizations. Enough so to deem it notable.

  • Delete. Untenable synthesis almost completely devoid of worthwhile information that doesn't appear in a more suitable place. There is nothing in this article that would provide any real value or understanding to a reader. "East Central Minnesota" is a vague title and could mean a number of things - what's here now does not warrant an article. (Anecdotally, I have never heard of the phrase "PICKM Counties" - it sounds like a neologism developed as a marketing attempt, and the references seem to bear that out.) --Sable232 (talk) 16:23, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While noting opinion in that AfD such as "Highly notable and innovative media company", searches on various terms are not finding verifying references.

This article is about an individual who does not meet notability. The article has no sources whatsoever. There is no clear claim of notability. The lead states he was a freedom fighter but with no explanation. Based on Sailo Jharapada, it appears to be for India's independence. However, there is no detail as to what he did nor could I find any sources that covered this individual's participation. There is also a statement that he individual participated in stage drama and became a director. Again, there are no details, nor could I find any sources.

Six years is not really a long time in wiki terms, unless somebody brought it to the attention of the project it is unlikely to be noticed. They are 1978 articles in Category:Articles needing additional references from April 2013 among the 360,000 articles tagged. Hardly a go to place. Tagged articles go back to 2006 so the six years is not really significant or relevant. If you find such articles it would be better to go to the relevant project and ask "hey this article needs some refs, anybody help" and give them a chance to improve it rather than AfD straight away.

  • Delete On the topic of GNG: One reference looks to be independent - astrazeneca, but all the other material looks to be written by our subject or released from the organisation founded by the subject. Accademic notability is absent, and even appearance in a top 100 of a small group is not a great claim of importance. Doing a Google search reveals the same references we already have, and a big bunch of solcial media, a significant sign of not being notable. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:34, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Graeme Bartlett: - Astrazeneca is not independent- it's her employer. MedImmune is a wholly owned subsidiary of Astrazeneca, the release by Astrazeneca is a rather standard PR piece prompted by an employee being mentioned positively in the media (in this case in the BAME list).

  • Keep I have noticed a tendency for new articles to be nominated for deletion (or even PRODded) very quickly. This article is one week old. The subject's inclusion in a Top 100 BAME leaders in technology dates from just over 2 months ago. The article includes sources like the Financial Times, the official blog of the Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the Inclusive Boards website profile of her, indications that she has gained notability, and is a likely subject for searches. I would prefer to tag the article for notability and more sources, as per WP:BEFORE C2 and C3. The two months that have passed since her inclusion in the Top100 list is not enough time for many scholarly journals to publish anything about it. Some may say it's too soon to include her, but an alternative viewpoint is that Wikipedia can be too quick to delete. Another alternative to deletion would be draftifying or userfying - that would enable the creator and/or other editors to add other sources as they are found.

  • Delete. Clearly not notable - is not close to passing any SNG or GNG. Being named in an ethnic-specific top-100 in a sector-specific list is not an indication of notability nor a significant award. The sole usable reference is the article (disregarding blogs and non-independent sources (e.g. her employer, and an organization she's involved with)) is the FT article (a list of "top 100 BAME in tech") which contains a single line about Payne in the middle of the list - "Kayisha Payne Founder, BBSTEM Associate Scientist II, MedImmune Female" - so clearly fails WP:INDEPTH. Given the clear lack of multiple reliable, independent, in-depth, secondary sources - an article on this subject can not be developed while adhering to WP:V, WP:NPOV, WP:BLP, and WP:NOTSOAP. Icewhiz (talk) 09:40, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not seeing indications of notability as a scientist or by meeting WP:GNG. As a scientist, her job title is a seemingly unimpressive "Associate Scientist" and, more importantly, I can't find a single reference of her in Google Scholar. In terms of meeting WP:GNG, my own search doesn't find any significant independent coverage. The references in the article consist of something from her company, a short resume from inclusiveboards.com (reliability?), a blog, something from the organization she started, and the listing of her in the FT's article about the list they created (and that's is not significant coverage). This article, at best, seems WP:TOOSOON and claiming notability for founding an new organization that launched last August is both too soon and WP:BLP1E.

  • Delete this page about a project manager in the research labs of drug company AstraZeneca. She is NOT a PhD scientist and there is no claim ot notability as a scientist. She is a sort of poster child for minority-women-in-STEM, but even here she has no serious or significant claim to notability. I strongly suspect ever editor at Wikipedia of having a strong bias in favor of minorities and women making STEM contributions and of having STEM careers open to everyone. That does not mean that being listed as one of the top 100 black and minority ethnic leaders in technology in the UK in 2018 + notability. It means that the UK has an embarrassingly low number of black and minority ethnic scientists.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete though I am not opposed to it being a draft. I tried searching for research papers/citations but I am unable to find (which could be plausible if the person is not an academic/educator). When I look for sources, there is a mention on a list in Financial Times, but it is among many other names and doesn't offer significant coverage. Lists such as "top x people of y ethnicity in z field" are often published by many media houses and it is unclear how selective they are. Other than this, I am drawing much of a blank for independent third party coverage. I think the person could become notable in the future, but at this time there are very few sources which provide significant coverage.--DreamLinker (talk) 20:17, 14 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I think this is hype over substance (and this is not a media-BLP, but a science/academic BLP). Her WP:GNG criteria and her WP:NPROF are effectively zero. I don't know if Astra Zeneca's HR marketing department is at work here but if she hadn't appeard on this top 100 list (however it was constructed), she would be a strong WP:A7 candidate. WP:TOOSOON implies that she is on an academic trajectory, but apart from being an "associate scientist" in AZ, there is no tangible evidence of even such a trajectory?

    OpenTimestamps does not make use of novel techniques to perform its tasks; the main idea behind it can be found in this paper Improving the Efficiency and Reliability of Digital Time-Stamping, D. Bayer, S. Haber, W.S. Stornetta, 1993 (which is itself cited in the Bitcoin whitepaper), with the main difference that instead of using newspaper advertisment it uses a Bitcoin transaction (or something else, as the project tries to be more abstract). In addition OTS aims to perform a single task, making it easy to embed it in other services (e.g. timestamp database logs, timestamp git commits), but also too simple to raise academic interest. Due to these reasons, it is not simple to submit an academic paper with OTS as a topic or to start a PhD with it as a subject.
    In my opinion, OTS is notable and this article is relevant as it provides a high-level description of an open-source software which brings users with a new possibilty: to easily create and independently verify timestamps of their data without the need to trust the timestamp server. In the use cases section there is a list of relevant use cases enabled by OTS.
    Would the lack of reliable academic papers citing OTS be enough to delete the page?
    In which ways should this article be improved to avoid deletion?
    Should it be more adherent to the style guidelines?
    Thank you in advance. --LeoComandini (talk) 10:21, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: OpenTimestamps is notable for a Wikipedia article. It provides a robust decentralized timestamping format, and it is already used by many notary services and companies.
    There is already an academic paper which has been reviewed by a Senior Research Fellow at University of Tallinn. Additionally, the article at NASDAQ provides a simple technical perspective of OpenTimestamps and may also be considered a reliable source. --FrankAndProust (talk) 10:24, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Literally a crypto blog reprint in their blog, so no it can't - David Gerard (talk) 12:42, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reproducing an article verbatim does not invalidate the fact that it has been published by NASDAQ. Many reliable news organizations also publish verbatim reports by agencies worldwide. Those reports are usually reviewed to a certain extent before being published by the new media brand.--FrankAndProust (talk) 14:12, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
NASDAQ is not a news source, let alone a WP:RS - it's the blog of an exchange. NASDAQ blog reposts of crypto blogs are generally treated as crypto blogs. This strongly suggests you don't in fact have good sources - David Gerard (talk) 16:20, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
NASDAQ is nothing less than the second largest stock exchange in the world, which is owned by Nasdaq Inc, a multinational financial services corporation. I wouldn't dismiss their publication as a common blog.
I post a new document published by Springer Science+Business Media. It is a poster paper written by Peter Todd, the original developer of OpenTimestamps, and by Harry Halpin, a Senior Research Scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology:
NASDAQ states on the bottom of the republished Bitcoin Magazine article: "The views and opinions expressed herein are the views and opinions of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Nasdaq, Inc." That paper with Peter Todd as a co-author doesn't add to notability either since it's not independent Џ 00:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It can be considered independent within reason. AFAIK, the publisher (Springer) is not closely affiliated with OpenTimestamps, which is anyway an open-source project to manage decentralized proofs of existence. The fact that Springer, a firm with reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, agrees to publish this study on a book of revised selected papers, assists on the notability to the subject.--FrankAndProust (talk) 13:03, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are we for real?

I am usually open to adding topics that were traditionally unencyclopedic to Wikipedia, but this? It's not Pepe the Frog or even Wojak, it's just your average fad that held for a few months and now is mostly gone...

Are we playing a substitute of KnowYourMeme now? And if this should pass the notability checklist then where are the limits? When does a meme become important enough to be featured as a standalone article on Wikipedia?

P.S. I am quite shocked noone has proposed deleting this page before, or even flaunted such action.. In fact, the talk page of the article is entirely blank... Openlydialectic (talk) 02:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Internet meme. What we have here is a valuable example that illustrates this type of meme. It has a well documented life cycle, spinoffs, backlash, all that. But currently Internet meme is vague and overly generalistic. It needs at least one section that covers an example in full detail. Over at Distracted boyfriend meme we have a kind of thinly-written article that struggles to stand on its own, and will probably always struggle to rise much further beyond a C-grade not-a-stub. Size after a merge is no issue: even if no overlap were eliminated in a merger, 2,000 words + 1,000 words is only 3,000 words, far below any rule of thumb maximum. Put the two together and you get one article with some meat to it, which can mention in passing specific memes like Pepe, surgery on a grape, etc, while going deep into one of them in order to produce an article of substance. No amount of copy editing is going to turn either of the two in to a GA, but merge the best of them, and with a little work we'd have something good. Just because a topic passes GNG doesn't mean we have to maintain a separate page. Often the encyclopedia is just better if we don't. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The quality of the Internet meme article isn't relevant here, see WP:RELART. wumbolo ^^^ 21:14, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, it is relevant. Merging is relevant to AfD, and the merits of a merge depend on the two articles in question, and the merits of the resulting third article. See WP:MERGEREASON. WP:RELAR is irrelevant. I never claimed there is a content fork, and so refuting that is a red herring. You're entirely free to disagree with my view that a merge is the best choice. If you have sound arguments against merging, please feel free to share them. But you have no basis to invalidate my opinions this way. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:48, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as has coverage in multiple christian music reliable sources as shown in the article, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 14:42, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - Considering the in-article sources: New Release is a weak-fail of Sig Cov; CCM is purely an interview so fails Sig Cov, PRWeb obviously isn't independent/reliable. The Christian Beat is a good pair of sources, but is from the same source. Given that, New Release, I think a WK is appropriate, but a neutral or WD might also suit as it currently is. Nosebagbear (talk) 22:05, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Based on poor coverage. Both keep votes above cite the quality of The Christian Beat as a reliable source, but the article from that source basically paraphrases content from the About section of the subject’s own website ( https://www.laurenbeamusic.com/about/) mixed in with standard new release information. I'm not saying it isn’t third party coverage, but it does appear to be lazy in establishing anything other than what this subject has to say about herself. Investigating the website further, it appears to be a self-described “up and coming” non-professional volunteer effort with the goal to become an important voice in covering the Christian music scene, but as of now it appears to be mostly a venue for passing off rephrased press releases as reporting and volunteer reviews. Has it been source reviewed yet? If I’m wrong, I’ll consider changing my i-vote. CCM magazine, on the other hand, is a good source, but this coverage—an interview—isn’t. Other sourcing problems are pointed out by Nosebagbear (talk) above. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:56, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the link. I see The Christian Beat was entered as a reliable source on 16 September 2015 without any evidence of having first—-or since—undergone a source review. (A word search in the reliable sources discussions confirm this.) I’m still sticking with my delete vote; while the site may contain reliable information, it also seems to be indiscriminate in what they publish, adhering to their mission (per their description: “… to point you to music…”) of promoting anything and everything Christian music related. Considering this particular reference essentially rephrases content from the subject's website, regardless of a third parties involvement to me it doesn’t come across as a significant example of notable coverage.

delete - I nominated this article for deletion.
