  • Strong Keep as there are enough sources to establish WP:GNG. I also want to point out that WP:INVALIDBIO is inherently sexist (which does not mean it is never applicable, but is going to be prone to systemic bias). See this literature [1][2][3] Same point re: Laurene Powell Jobs and Lisa Brennan-Jobs, which I'm surprised you haven't also nom'd under the same guideline. --Theredproject (talk) 06:58, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yes, she's related to Steve Jobs, but she has been continuously covered in media mentions and books for many years. She's also portrayed in a couple of movies. Strong sources like this fortune.com article leave no doubt as to her general notability. (As a painter however, she has no notablity.)ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:10, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep: Seems to be a common enough academic measure online, though I could be persuaded by people actually in the field of education.--Esprit15d • talkcontribs 23:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest merging this article with the article on Continuing education as the subject is important, but makes no real sense on its own, separate from its context. Merging would improve the Continuing education article and bring context to this article, rather than deleting it.Prolumbo (talk) 11:33, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's fine by me. Rathfelder (talk) 15:24, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak and selective merge with article Continuing Education - the article has had a tag saying it may include original research since April 2014, but there may be enough in the article for it be merged with the article on Continuing Education. Vorbee (talk) 17:56, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nothing was said of this in the nomination so this is moving the goalposts. Was step D of WP:BEFORE carried out? "D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability." Please don't introduce new issues if the groundwork has not been done. Andrew D. (talk) 12:31, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I added a couple of references to the article. A lot of search results show educational facilities defining what a continuing education unit is, giving out detailed information on it. So references were very easy to find. If it can't be expanded farther and the main article isn't too crowded, it can be merged over to Continuing education. Dream Focus 14:30, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or Keep I am engaged in major work to improve the article on 'Continuing education' and improve this article om 'Continuing education unit' as it is within my field. I tend to work locally and upload proofed substantial edits and there is still quite a bit of work to do. I personally think this article has merit as a section of the Continuing education article, less so as an article in its own right, because the former would need to include a substantial section on the latter to be complete. However, perhaps deletion could be postponed for a month or so until my proposed edits and rewrite can be reviewed.Prolumbo (talk) 14:57, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of the article has no valid claims to notability. He has not been elected to any local, state, or national post. Fails NPOL. The article is somewhat promotional. The person has some coverage for a few controversial comments and his relation to his father but not enough to meet notability guidelines. While his father is notable, he is not.

  • Delete Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. It should also be noted that the IP address that authored the article has focused almost exclusively on this page and pages related to the subject. best, GPL93 (talk) 2158, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article is about a sociologist, historian and a politician. His aristocratic lineage and genealogy are well documented and it is among the oldest, historic and finest of his nation. His major academic publications as a renowned academic historian and sociologist was cited. The proposed deletion is vindictive and reflects the attitude of supporters of the repressive regime in Dhaka who won an election by rigging. All sources were cited. The article should be kept and not deleted. Also, notability is subjective --there could be a wikipedia page on Al Capone on the notability of organized crime, as well as a page on Mother Teresa and everyone in between. Notability of the public figure being disputed stems from his academic work, aristocratic family background in Bangladesh and anti-dynastic politics. Most wikipedia editors from Bangladesh come from humble social background and could refer this page for deletion out of jealousy or on the basis of political alliance to the repressive political regime in Bangladesh. For that reason those editors have imposed their personal subjective value judgment on notability and should refrain from doing so for maintaining the objectivity of the Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.116.164.242 (talk)
  • Maybe this should be kept, but after seeing you argue on the basis of personal attacks rather than the availability of sources I'm very reluctant to do the work of looking for sources that might substantiate notability. It's a sure sign that someone is here to push a point of view rather than create a neutral encyclopedia article when that editor makes unfounded accusations that others are pushing a point of view.

  • Delete. Nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable under WP:NPOL for his political activities or WP:AUTHOR for his writing, but the article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu — for either of those things, the notability test is not just that the subject exists, but requires that he has enough reliable source coverage about him and his work to clear GNG. But that's not what the sources here are showing: this is referenced almost entirely to sources that aren't support for notability, such as Blogspot blogs and other user-generated wikis and primary sources and very short news blurbs that aren't substantive enough to constitute a GNG pass all by themselves. This is not enough sourcing to get a person over the bar. And when a brand new user with no prior edit history jumps straight to "the nominator has a political agenda" as their rationale for opposing a deletion discussion, without presenting any credible evidence of the nominator's agenda at all, it's very nearly always a sign that the accuser has a political agenda to misuse Wikipedia as a promotional venue for the article subject (and thus probably has a direct conflict of interest.) Bearcat (talk) 16:42, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a Major local political figure in anti-dynastic politics in Bangladesh who have received significant press coverage as per WP:NPOL The proponents of deletion are pushing an agenda and this is clear from another deletion request to delete the pictures associated with this page. Having received few support for deletion of the page, they have moved on to request deletion of the photos associated with the page. The book titled The Compromised Republic: An Inquiry Into the Development Of Underdevelopment. Oriental Publishers, India. 2003. (subscription required). written by this person is on display at the Library of Congress as evident from google search, satisfying WP:AUTHOR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.116.164.242 (talk) 17:18, 27 January 2019 (UTC) voted twice. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 14:05, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No it is not, but Wikipedia:DISCUSSAFD says "do not repeat a bolded recommendation". Phil Bridger (talk) 17:54, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Firstly, Vinegarymass911 and Phil Bridger are correct that while you're allowed to comment as many times as you like in a deletion discussion, you're not allowed to "vote" more than once: you may not preface any of your followup comments with a bolded restatement of the "keep" you've already given, but must format them strictly as comments rather than new "votes".
    Secondly, AUTHOR is not passed just by showing a card catalogue that technically verifies the holding of his book in an archive or library — it is passed by showing reliable source coverage about his book, such as critical reviews or analysis in newspapers or magazines or academic literary or political science journals.
    Thirdly, if he's received significant press coverage, the article isn't showing that — the only press coverage it's showing at all is a couple of short blurbs, neither substantive enough in content nor voluminous enough in number to get him over GNG at all.
    Fourthly, nominating the article's photos for deletion is not proof that anybody has a political agenda — photos on Wikipedia still have to comply with all of our rules, including WP:COPYRIGHT, and you have no inalienable right to upload any photo here that is not correctly compliant with our rules for photos. And at any rate, two of the three photos are of buildings, while the third is just people eating at a banquet — there is literally nothing about any of the photos which suggests any reason why deletion discussions would be politically motivated at all.
    Speaking as a site administrator, let me be very clear: if I see you make one more accusation that anybody in this discussion is acting in bad faith, you're going to find yourself on the business end of a temporary edit block for being uncivil and disruptive — and this is your only warning, you're not getting a second one. Bearcat (talk) 19:01, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We are asked to believe that this person is notable because his "aristocratic lineage and genealogy are well documented and it is among the oldest, historic and finest of his nation" and simultaneously that he is a figure in "anti-dynastic politics". The contradiction there is blatantly obvious. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:48, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Aristocratic lineage and genealogy are inherited while anti-dynastic political activism is ideological. Inheritance of aristocratic notability is received and not earned while notability for anti-dynastic political activism is earned through hard, painful and often difficult political work. In case of this individual that also included long jail sentences and lawsuits for standing up against dynastic politics in Bangladesh. Coming back to inherited aristocratic notability, in the world of the "Self-made-man" who has shed his past to forge a future with his own merit and hard work, inherited notability of aristocracy is not only unacceptable but also illegitimate. Therefore giving credit in Wikipedia for inherited aristocratic notability in Bangladesh is contestable and debatable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.116.167.226 (talk) 14:57, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In terms of aristocratic notability, one should read WP:NOTINHERITED. Coming from an aristocratic background or a prestigious family does not guarantee notability. Secondly, the coverage regarding the subject is not sustained or particularly significant. In regards to the subject being notable as an academic and author, he clearly doesn't pass the standards of WP:SCHOLAR or WP:AUTHOR. I'd also encourage 103.116.167.226 to disclose any possible WP:COI as this point, it would appear highly likely that the article fits the profile of an WP:AUTOBIO and his defense of the article appears to be highly personal. Best, GPL93 (talk) 15:21, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • You seem to try to twist anything anyone says. আফতাবুজ্জামান has simply mentioned searching in Bengali as well as English in order to help you keep this article by finding sources, but found nothing. Bengali is the most likely language in which sources might exist, followed by English, so it's a good idea for those who are capable of doing so (as I am not) to search in both languages.

Biography which fails to meet WP:GNG, WP:ATHLETE or WP:NCRIC. None of the matches he played in were first-class, despite the claims of the article, so he fails the technical aspects of NCRIC and ATHLETE. The only information we appear to have on Bryant is taken from scorecards of matches he played in - CricketArchive has only a year and place of death beyond the two matches it places him in. The both year and place appear to be speculative at best and we simply lack any other biographical information from suitable sources, so there's no way we'll ever be able to create a biography which meets WP:GNG. Contested PROD with no reason given. Blue Square Thing (talk) 12:06, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related page because it has the same essential issue - nothing other than scorecard information is being used with no hope of being able to build a biography. Is the brother of John Bryant:

James Bryant (Kent cricketer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
  • Comment I note that, notwithstanding the nomination statement, WP:NCRIC does not mention "first class" at all, merely the highest international or domestic level. If Ashley-Cooper has described the level that the Bryants were playing at as "top-class matches", that aligns with our requirements. ——SerialNumber54129 12:26, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi SN 54129. If you follow the link from NCRIC to WP:CRIN, it explains in more details what "top-class matches" are, including info on first-class cricket. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:30, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, Lugnuts, it says almost precisely the same thing in almost precisely the same language:
WP:NCRIC: Have appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level
WP:CRIN: has appeared as a player or umpire in at least one cricket match that is judged by a substantial secondary source to have been played at the highest international or domestic level.
Thanks, ——SerialNumber54129 12:34, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there are issues with the technical way in which NCRIC is written - which I'm happy to elaborate on at any point. In almost every case it is interpreted at AfD to mean "first-class, list A or official T20". There are different opinions about what is regarded as top-class amongst people who have written about early cricket - and one author's opinion is not necessarily shared by others. Notwithstanding that, if there was sufficient biographical information to suggest that the article met the GNG I wouldn't have nominated it - for example, William Bedle or Thomas Waymark I would suggest are about at GNG standards. I don't believe that we will ever have enough to get either Bryant to that sort of level - we are almost totally reliant on information synthesised from scorecards for the content of the articles.

The topic fails WP:GNG. The few references used are mere press releases. Moreover, there are regular WP:COI cases recorded. Mendypendy (talk) 15:20, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A look at first and 2nd previous deletions reveals that the page already qualifies for Speedy delete WP:G4 (Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion).

  • Delete Still remains a COI mess, and the paid editing has made it worse. It continues to read as an ADVERT, and I felt the 2015 keep decision was ill-made based on a short period of trying to keep the COI under control that seemed to evaporate the moment the keep was sealed on nom #3.

    Cheshire Parish Register Database is of course a primary source. Prathergenealogy.com is a private website with no editiorial overview. Findagrave I believe to be a no-no. There's nothing wrong with the Victorian antiquariana, but, frankly, you could mine it a lot further. And the same, writ large, goes for Thornton, the best source you've got, and yet hardly touched. At the moment, you've got the passing mentions (inherited this, was appointed that, etc.—everything exected of the 16th-century gentry), but not the in-depth coverage required by WP:GNG.

Light-speed silicon chip[edit]

The article appears to consist largely of original research and improper synthesis, if it isn't a hoax. The description of the IBM IC superficially follows that of the cited Popular Science article. However, the claim that the IBM IC is called the "light-speed silicon chip", and the claim that it will result in an EFLOPS-scale supercomputer by 2018, are invented. The following "How it works" section implies that it's elaborating on the IBM IC, but it's actually about something else. The cited Phys.org article doesn't support any of the claims made in that section, and is unrelated to that section's content.

Light-speed silicon chip had been merged into Optical interconnect. As a result of a recent discussion at Talk:Optical interconnect#This article's topic and mergers, the consensus was to restore Optical interconnect to a revision dated before light-speed silicon chip was merged into it. There isn't any content from Light-speed silicon chip to merge anywhere, and its technobabble title makes it an inappropriate redirect. 99Electrons (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A WP:SPA article on a company/product. Previously rejected twice at AfC but then recreated in mainspace without addressing the issues identified by The Drover's Wife and K.e.coffman in their AfC reviews. Inclusion in a Gartner field review does not carry inherent notability and nor do fundraising announcements. Since the upload to mainspace, Instana has been mentioned briefly in a "Top Nine Vendor Highlights From KubeCon" item but neither that nor anything else found in searches indicates that notability has been achieved, whether under WP:NCORP if considered as a company or under WP:GNG for its product.

  • KEEP The SD Times and Techcrunch articles appear to just get it over the line for WP:GNG. There's also an article in Handelsblatt, which is most definitely an RS, albeit German-language. I've got to be honest and say that this kind of AFD raises doubts about the draft process in my mind, since I often see articles nominated for AFD where AFC was skipped where the nomination amounts to "The article creator didn't do what I told them to do, now please delete this for me". It makes me think the process is not being treated as a collaborative one, but instead as a teacher/student one. However, I've never put an article through the draft process so maybe I'm just seeing one side of it. FOARP (talk) 19:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The Handelsblatt source is solid, although the TechCrunch and SD Times coverage are a bit more borderline for WP:ORGCRITE. Still, the laudatory tone of the SD Times piece, plus the other borderline coverage, leads me to think that more coverage exists such that this meets WP:GNG (i.e. WP:NPOSSIBLE). signed, Rosguill talk 22:38, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I appreciate that, despite attempts to codify WP:NCORP standards, judgment still needs to be made of identified sources. I have looked further at those proposed, to evaluate whether I stand by my original nomination. The SD Times text is copied from company PR. The Techcrunch item is a light paraphrase of this PR with the same funding partner quotation. The Wirtschafts Woche item is the same PR funding announcement. The Solinger Tageblatt item appears to be similar, although it is paywalled local coverage. For me, these have to be set aside as falling under the "routine coverage … of a capital transaction" part of our criteria. However, there are the more substantial Gründerszene/Welt and Handelsblatt items. Gründerszene followed their coverage of the same funding announcement with their more detailed article/interview shortly afterwards. Both this and the earlier Handelsblatt article provide more detail but, for me, they remain propositional descriptions about where a start-up company sees its potential market position rather than critical evaluation, and insufficient to demonstrate that the firm has yet achieved lasting encyclopaedic notability.

  • Redirect to Viasat Film, along with Viasat Film Comedy, Viasat Film Family, Viasat Film Hits and Viasat Film Premiere This is per past consensus of multiplex premium film channels like HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, Starz and Sky Cinema, where usually the additional channels those services have can't stand out on their own (and going by cable's future, will likely make way for just a couple channels thanks to VOD); these channels all have genres they usually doesn't drift from, and we can't really expand it beyond what we have now, along with the latter two, which describe 'proven film hits' and 'air only newer films'. No merge because there's just too little there, but all four should definitely be retained as plausible redirects. Nate (chatter) 23:18, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
When you say "no merge because there's just too little there", have you taken the infobox into account? I'd argue it contains useful information. /Julle (talk) 00:00, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I did; it contains cable positions easily merged into Viasat Film, but outside of that, the information is mainly duplicative since it's a suite of channels which all share the same history, outside of individual names. Nate (chatter) 06:26, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think there is some misunderstanding here. Article notability or use are not based on size. Every single of these articles should and can be expanded with individual information. All are clearly notable.BabbaQ (talk) 08:33, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Alex Salmond. There is a general consensus against keeping this page with the view being that it is TOOSOON. However, it does seem at least possible that at some point this content fork may merit a stand alone article. Additionally the title is a plausible search term.

  • Delete No good reason to have standalone article duplicating two sentences of content already merged to Alex Salmond, exactly where readers of the encyclopedia will actually look for it.

So in the mean time it's just going to be a magnet for trolls and suck up editor energy, not to mention its potential as a platform for illegal activity. Can't see how it's worth all that.

John Fulbrook[edit]

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

Declined PROD. Original PROD reason was: I'm not finding much indication of notability. There's this brief piece in an industry magazine about him being headhunted to a new firm. This near-identical piece leads me to think it was based on a press release. Other than that, there's some name-drops and book credits, but nothing substantively about him as a person.

Decline reason from DGG's edit summary was: prob. notable. First check for sources; then, only if not found, nominate for deletion at AfD--or draftify.

The decline completely ignores the fact that my PROD nomination made clear that I did check for sources - and failed to find any substantial and independent ones. There's no reason to draftify this decade-old article; if there's been no evidence of notability within the last ten years, another six months isn't likely to help.

Side note: I see the industry awards, but unless they are themselves "well-known and significant" (per WP:ANYBIO), or someone wrote substantially about the subject receiving one, they aren't indicators of notability. ♠PMC(talk) 03:42, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete You are correct, there is not much out there beyond book credits ("Designed by John Fulbrook III") and industry biographies. I did not even see an interview. The awards might give some notability, but I doubt it given the way the design industry awards are so integrated with business interests.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:20, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I decline any prod where I think a community discussion is reasonably likely to find sources--that's about 1 a day, on the average, in additionto those I decline for other reasons. About half get deleted, half kept. Probably=probably, not that I necessarily support keeping.— Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talkcontribs)

This article, from its first incarnation through the three edits made in the last hour by Georgefowlerbrady, has been engineered to be an advertisement for a model by a marketing agency, MBLM (which uses the tagline "The Brand Intimacy Agency"), and its representative, Mario Natarelli. Nearly all the sources and external links lead to them: the whole article is WP:LINKSPAM and WP:REFSPAM. To the extent there is an objective concept one might call "brand intimacy" underneath all of this, I don't see a good way to weed it out from all the WP:UNDUE weight on this one company's pitch, and I tried to neutralize it at least a bit but to no avail as other editors, seemingly intent on making the article serve as a come-on for that company, keep building the article into a white paper for the company, so I'm suggesting WP:TNT. The only reason I'm not just throwing G11 speedy deletion at it is that it's been through several rounds of edits and it manages to avoid advertising MBLM and Natarelli directly, even though that's the clear effect.

  • Keep - He narrowly misses NHOCKEY, but he seems to have gotten some coverage. Although his career ended more than 40 years ago, I was able to quickly find a couple of substantial articles about him: here and here. Given the length of time since he last played and the fact that these were easy to find, I have to believe there is more coverage that is less easy to find, but even this marginally meets GNG. Rlendog (talk) 19:39, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Rlendog: That's really stretching it. "Marginally"? Why do we have to clutter up Wikipedia with non-notables, encouraging further such article creations? Quis separabit? 21:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Typically, even curent minor leaguers who fail NHOCKEY also don't have multiple articles substantially about them. In this case we have a subject whose career ended 40 years ago, so most of his potential coverage won't be readily accessible. But in this case there are 2 articles that I was able to find - which is significant coverage in multiple (at the lowest level of "multiple") reliable sources. Normally, for a current minor leaguer I would want something more than this, but I'll settle for marginally meeting GNG for someone before the internet age. I am not sure how this article is "cluttering up" Wikipedia. Anyone who is not interested in him can easily avoid the article. Rlendog (talk) 01:15, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lying dormant since 2007, this term - while ostensibly portraying a real phenomenon used in politics which I won't deny - only has one source and is worded like a sturdy coined phrase instead of a spurious neologism. If this "fallacy" has a name, it woukd have many and "Plain folks" isn't it. Anyway, it has one source and seems to fail WP:GNG right now. ~Sıgehelmus♗(Tøk) 05:17, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of notability. There are three possibly-useful references beyond a bunch of interviews, other non-independent sources and passing mentions, HLN, Deadline and Hollywood Reporter. Deadline doesn't say much and not what it's cited for, and Hollywood Reporter uses a single sentence to pan Powell's performance in what appears to have been her most notable role. HLN is "local woman has big success"-style human-interest reporting. That's not enough. I started removing unreliably-sourced content and found that I could just go on removing. Having had roles is not enough; reliable third-party sources must actually discuss the actor for us to be able to write a meaningful article. Huon (talk) 00:37, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Articles"? I don't see those; there's one French piece which lists the famous actors she played next to, but other than that? Notability is not inherited. Huon (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's wrong. From the guideline you link to: "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included." (Emphasis mine.) Huon (talk) 13:34, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:N: "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: 1. It meets either the general notability guideline below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific guideline listed in the box on the right; and 2.

@User:Huon da du ja deutsch al Muttersprache angibst, sag ich es dir mal auf deutsch: es macht den Anschein, dass du unbedingt willst, dass dieser Artikel gelöscht wird (und er stand schon mal zur Diskussion und wurde da auch nicht gelöscht wird). Das lässt sich schon deiner fadenscheinigen Argumentation entnehmen. Wie willst du einer schauspielerin, die in mehreren Werken die Hauptrolle spielte und in mehreren Sprachen Wiki-Artikel hat, die Relevanz absprechen? Keep the article.--Robberey1705 (talk) 13:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Robberey1705: WP:AGF. Although I disagree with Huon on this nomination, there are many understandable reasons for him to have his own opinion on this article. The main problem is that most of the recent press interest in EP has been people who want to talk about her role as a mermaid, not about her life and background. If all the people to whom she has explained her prosthetic tail, her study classical sources and watching video of ocean predators, etc. had instead asked about her childhood, travels, etc. then we would have lots of the source material that would make her bio better. Second, the article had much poor sourcing in it but is missing much useful stuff. With the second season about to begin, my Google news search turns up multiple articles (including the Boston Herald article now in there) that were published only within the past week. I am hoping that by WP:HEY, improving the article's sources and information will convince Huon that it belongs here now, even though he was reasonable to think it was very substandard as of a week ago.

  • Keep She meets WP:NACTOR #1, and there are enough reliable sources confirming that (many unreliable sources which would be better removed, but the Dutch source, Variety and the Boston Herald are OK). — Preceding unsigned comment added by RebeccaGreen (talkcontribs)
Comment on interviews I did some research in GAs about actors, specifically Hank Azaria and Halle Berry. They use interviews and other reports of the subject's own words for many facts about the subject's personal life. This fits with our policy WP:ABOUTSELF, where many categories of people's statements about themselves are acceptable RS if "the article is not based primarily on such sources." I also looked at what WP:N for guidance about whether interviews (published by RS independent of the subject) can be considered "significant coverage" required for GNG. Our policy WP:N does not exclude them. Instead, WP:N makes it clear that the reason notability relies on secondary sources (in this case, the publisher of the interview is the secondary source) is to demonstrate "verifiable evaluation of notability" and "objective evidence of notability."

I can't find any coverage of this protest tactic in reliable sources.

  • Delete per rationale; I'm not finding coverage either. Even if notable, this is not the PRIMARYTOPIC, as you can tell by googling "Red bloc". The word often refers to ad hoc electoral coalitions, and would be difficult to disambiguate. buidhe 05:01, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I cannot find WP:SIGCOV for "red bloc," defined on page as "a distinct contingent at rallies or protests notable for carrying red flags, as well as dressing up in red,... as well as often accompanied with communist or socialist iconography," although I have no reason to doubt that it has happened. Page gives a single (unreliably sourced) instance, and an actual photo of a Trotskyite bloc marching in red (amusingly, they are marching through Melbourne, the most bourgeois city on the planet,) but NOT the sort of sources required by WP:NEOLOGISM. Page offers two more definitions: "The term has also been used as an alternate spelling of Red Block, referring to the Communist nations during the Cold War, and to a coalition of political parties established for the sake of forming a parliamentary majority." these are quite accurate but WP:NOTDICTIONARY.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:58, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The term has a specific use per the example cited in Denmark in one of the sources, but the article isn’t about that, it’s about ‘a bunch of people who show up at demos with red stuff’, a completely meaningless designation.Mccapra (talk) 06:17, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Falls under WP:NOTINHERITED. No one knew who he was until their relationship was made public. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 14:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. First, WP:NOTINHERITED is being misconstrued here. It is not a policy or guideline. It is not a rationale for deletion. It is a type of argument to avoid in arguing to keep an article, according to an essay. So we can set that aside right now. Second, and much more to the point, while Hamilton is frequently mentioned by sources in relation to Matt Dallas, he is also frequently mentioned in his own right, typically in regard to his music or “net worth.” He has an album available on iTunes and Amazon. People actually exist in the real world who like and follow his music, and write about it. Whether Hamilton’s fame took off due to his association with Dallas—in fact, howsoever he or anyone else became famous or known—is entirely beside the point. These other facts I’ve mentioned are the point. It’s a clear keep. Antinoos69 (talk) 15:54, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hardly. "People actually exist in the real world who follow his music" is not a rationale for establishing notability. There are scores of artists who have loyal followings but will otherwise remain in obscurity. As indicated by nominator, he has no charting records (all of one EP in six years, plus any schlep can put an album on Amazon nowadays), nor any work with a reputable label, and his only notability comes on the backs of others like Dallas or Fernando Garibay. If Hamilton is "frequently mentioned in his own right," prove it with links to said sources; this goes for anyone who insists on dangling the carrot of sources magically existing when a subject is listed for AfD. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 22:22, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I will assume you are capable of performing a general internet search for “Blue Hamilton.” The sources I spoke of were found thusly. And stop hinting at or assuming WP:NOTINHERITED; it is irrelevant here. Antinoos69 (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've done that before and come up with zilch, otherwise it'd have been added to the article long ago. I've discerned anyway why you're vehemently contesting the nomination despite the subject's clear lack of notability, and it's no better a reason for keeping the article. sixtynine • whaddya want? • 20:48, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  1.

Nothing about Blue Hamilton's life or music. No reliable sources.
