Currently just a bunch of unfilled section headers, and fails WP:CRYSTALBALL. Previously nominated for PROD by Robert McClenon (rationale: "This does not have enough substantive content to be an article, and consists of placeholder headings. This is not a useful encyclopedia page.") and then declined by Rikster2 (rationale: "These articles collect information on the sport throughout the year. We just had our first item - a notable death. The page has to be present for items to be added"). Nathan2055talk - contribs 22:31, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Draftspace it Although it's 2019 now, which was the reason for it being accepted at AfC, it has no significant content. The only content is one person listed as dead. In a few months, there will likely be significant information for the article, but it's too soon for now. No point in deleting and recreating, draftspace is better in my opinion. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:34, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Don't Draft space it the new year has started you better keep it. 68.103.78.155 (talk) 22:57, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. These articles exist all over - 2019 in baseball, 2019 in paleontology, etc. we just had the first event of 2019 - a notable death, added to the article and sourced - and we are 3 days into the year. If the issue is you want tables that show dates for scheduled events, we can add them but that’s improving an article not deleting it. This is probably the 7th-8th year these articles have existed from January 1 (or therabout) and this is the first time I can remember one being nominated for deletion once the year starts. Look at 2018 in basketball and you can see how it gets filled out through the course of the year. Rikster2 (talk) 23:16, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's not WP:TOOSOON, it's already 2019 and information will continue to be added to it as time goes on. 2020 in basketball is probably WP:TOOSOON at this point, but this is a proper current "event". SportingFlyer talk 23:42, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Rikster2 and SportingFlyer's arguments. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:06, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Draftify - We should remember that Wikipedia is written for the reader, not read for the writer. An article that consists of nothing but placeholder headings is not useful for the reader. Just because Other Stuff Has Previously Existed doesn't mean that it should have existed. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:07, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Readers do use the page. I would point you to WP:ATD - “If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page.” Again, would information on dates and sites of upcoming tournaments, etc. make it more useful to the reader? If so, page improvement should be pursued vs. deleting, so what are the suggestions? There is a whole class of “year in” articles, so are you suggesting none should exist on January 3rd? That’s not “other stuff exists,” it’s a serious question about a class of articles we know are used through the year, including this series. Rikster2 (talk) 02:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. She only has the one book it seems, but it has a lot of published reviews (I just added 12 to the references of the article). I think it's enough for WP:AUTHOR. Her presidency of the Association for the Study of American Indian Literatures gives her a claim to WP:PROF#C6, and also saves her from being notable only for the book. And the nomination statement makes no attempt to address the criteria of WP:AUTHOR and WP:PROF, and provides no evidence of having done WP:BEFORE, instead giving a generic and superficial review of the references (before I augmented them) that is not appropriate for these kinds of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:31, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E violation. Sole claim-to-fame is winning a music-reality-show, the likes of which are spawning like anything, over the recent past. WBGconverse 12:29, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The previous AfD only ended 3 days ago, with 5 keep votes and no delete votes except the Nom's (which was withdrawn). What justification is there for another one, and especially so soon? Winning a notable music competition means that he meets WP:MUSICBIO, it is not a violation of WP:BLP1E. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Just like Rebecca has said, opening the nomination this fast while the former one just days ago had a VERY rare on AfD clear Keep consensus (I will say 2 Keep arguments were very weak, and even if we exclude the author argument which will obviously be biased as he created it he did use a rational argument, and there was still enough consensus to make). Ravi may not meet WP:GNG (and may meet that as well if I go now analyzing the references but there is no need for that), but WP:MUSICBIO criteria 9 is met Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition..

  • Weak Keep - He'd won the show on 21 Dec however sources are slowly coming out: BBC, NewsofNepal and baahrakhari - I only found these by searching "रवि ओडलाई" however not being Nepalese I don't actually know if that's his name or not, It's worth noting not all newspapers etc are quick to get things out it all varies by country. –Davey2010 Merry Christmas / Happy New Year 15:33, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Davey2010, that's not the point. I fail to see why NMUSIC shall carve an exception for BLP1E esp. when the former is the least followed (and probably, the most inclusive) of all SNGs. WBGconverse 16:17, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I never said he does meet NMUSIC - IMHO the closest he comes to NUMSIC is #9 (Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition.) but for me that's not enough for keeping, I personally would say he meets BASIC by a very bare minimum, It's tough as you're indeed correct he's at present only known for one thing but on the other as I said IMHO he looks to meet BASIC,
I wouldn't lose any sleep if this was deleted put it that way, Cheers, –Davey2010 Merry Christmas / Happy New Year 16:30, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Redirect to Nepal Idol - It's extremely hard to evaluate this person's notability, given that none of the references are in English, but assuming that the article text accurately represents the maximum information in the sources, this does indeed boil down to WP:BLP1E, even if one accepts that the competition involved is "major", which I have doubts about. If and when the subject does have a true, actual international tour (not just a one-off gig), the article can be easily recreated. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:02, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am close to change my opinion on this analyzing things around the subject and in article. But what...what is the point of WP:NMUSIC Criteria 9 then? Should the guideline itself change if it gets clashed with WP:BLP1E like here? Jovanmilic97 (talk) 18:41, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I have consistently said that NMUSIC is one of our poorest guidelines and has hardly any relevance with the current community interpretation of policies.
    Written in the early-2000s, it was essentially an individual endeavor for a wiki-project consisting of pet-likings and this reinforces that. About 4 months after that, somebody tried to mention at the top that it was not any policy. He was reverted for technical-reasons and somebody then branded it as a guideline; without any rigorous community-discussion.
    Silence is often equated to consensus and it has stayed at the top, ever since.....
    Over the archives, the author of this guideline made an interesting comment during those spans:--.....these are all only guidelines and will not preclude any article being nominated for deletion, nor, once nominated, deleted. Meaning all these guidelines should evolve over time -- rather than argue over specifics, maybe we should argue over actual articles.
    As @TonyBallioni: may allude to, changing criterion of notability guidelines is one of the most difficult stuffs to do, over here; unless and until you can cite multiple AfDs/discussions which proves beyond doubt that the community has already firmly rejected that particular criterion of the guideline.
    Taking cue from both the above points, I will say that the first step to alter/remove such erroneous criterion is to !vote in contrary and set a precedent, over multiple AfDs. Over this sphere, policies reflect practice, largely. WBGconverse 19:45, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment If "Over this sphere, policies reflect practice", as WBG says, and, if, as they also say, since the early-2000s, editors have been following the WP:NMUSIC guidelines over multiple AfDs, then the established practice is what is stated in WP:NMUSIC. As for "pet-likings", there has been a succession of pet-dislikings with the earthquake and supercentenarian AfD campaigns - I do not look forward to a similar one about music-related articles.

  • Notability rule comment - Then there's this attempt to start amending notability rules on the grounds that it notability changes require a de facto prior shift in AfDs. This, unfortunately, has some validity to it - the school notability argument keeps getting re-litigated because the AfD consensus clashes with the general editor population. However an out and out argument that this is the way to do it sounds a concerning drop. At a minimum it would be worth raising it at least at WP:VPI first.

  • Comment the editor keeping updated articles on teams in The Basketball League has gone inactive, and this team appears to be defunct. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Power~enwiki: Baseballfan1948 may be the same editor based on contribution history, and if not, has similar interests and has made the newer team articles in the league. However, I am not sure what that has to do with WP:GNG as I would have nominated even if the creator was still active. I typically give claimed professional teams the benefit of the doubt and presume they will eventually receive coverage, and then nominate when it seems that they will not, whether that is because it folded or simply never received coverage in any extended period of time. I am also not sure if the team itself is defunct, but it is no longer a member of TBL. From what I could find (mostly via social media), the Bootleggers existed in the Premier Basketball League and then the North American Basketball League. Halfway through the first North American Premier Basketball season, they joined the NAPB to replace the folded Ohio Cardinals. The odd part is, at that time, all Vancouver Knights social media pages changed names and became the Bootleggers and solely covered the Bootleggers. The old Bootleggers' website though was also updated to state they were now in NAPB. The Knights' website also was taken down, even though the league continued to report that they were playing games under new ownership (but were never named, although there was briefly a new instagram account for the Knights). After the season, Bootleggers seem to still exist in one of the lower level leagues, I believe the NABL, but since all of this was WP:OR it lacks WP:V which is what led me to nominate it.

  • Keep There's no perfect way to handle a book article where the book comes from a clearly notable source (article, dissertation, etc) but has not itself received many reviews yet. The specific topic/argument from these authors clearly passes WP:GNG. The question of whether it should be an article about the article with a section on the book or an article about the book with a section on the article is something for the talk page, not AfD. Either way, if there's just one article to consider, deletion is not the appropriate response. So, even if the book does not technically meet WP:NBOOK right now, a little WP:IAR serves the readers of the encyclopedia we're here to build. Bakazaka (talk) 20:39, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is not what it purports to be. It is not a list of minor characters; It is a fork of the existing character list article including all the main characters. Essentially, this is the article that its authors would like the existing character list article to be if it weren't for those meddling kids editors insisting on following the rules properly. Insofar as this is a duplicate it is unnecessary. Insofar as it is not a duplicate, it is full of admittedly minor characters and it is non-notable. In fact, were it to be kept I'd suggest a rename to List of non-notable Scooby-Doo characters that they wouldn't let us put in the other article, the spoilsports!. The "referencing" is just awful, both in its failure to link many of the "references" to the material they purport to reference and in the references themselves. Some are primary (i.e. the episodes themselves). Many are non-RS. Some are Wikipedia itself! There is very deep ineptitude here and, if what I read on ANI is true, worse. So this needs to be deleted. Also the authors need to be investigated for sockpuppetry/meatpuppetry/tag-team editing and, if the situation is as bad as reported (which I have not checked for myself), they need to have their rubber masks pulled off and be carted off at the end of the show. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:10, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NFILM and the last paragraph of W:NFF. And, also fails GNG (significant coverage) by a mile or so, with typical spam-coverage.

An example is this source which mentions a single line about the release of trailer; regurgitates the details (cast, release date et al) of the film and the amount of pictures far exceeds the volume of written stuff.

The rest of references amount to trivial routine PR-coverage in entertainment-sections of sources and gossip-sites. The generalized stuff (the above ref or this) is like ....the first look/ the trailer/the first song of the film is out.....This film features XYZ and directed by ABC....Story is written by JKL and choreographed by MNO....

KathmanduPost has devoted a single paragraph about the first looks of the film on 20th November. It's quite early to be on Wikipedia.......

  • Delete: this is the Kathmandu Times, the only reliable and independent source the article references. It's a "first look" article. One source isn't enough to establish significant coverage. No prejudice against recreation after the film has been released but at this point the article's only purpose is to note that a film that may or may not be noteworthy will be released in 2019.

Azkord, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I must admit, I've only been to Nepal once and the Kathmandu Times was the only publication cited here that I encountered, but obviously I realise that reliable sources which I don't know about exist. However, the URLs of the other ones you mention seem to bear the hallmarks of redtop / tabloid publications in their use of language (I'm using Google Translate, so it might not be 100% accurate but there are definitely tonal differences between KT and NN, for example). My !vote is a weak delete, so if you could convince me that one of the other cited sources is considered reliable, I'd be willing to change my mind.

Otherwise, there really doesn't seem to be a WP:SIGCOV of her to meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Redirecting to the Runaway (U & I) article might be an alternative if the consensus is to delete.

  • Comment I'm trying hard to find some of these references, having trouble. The Moonbeam awards might be a big enough deal, since she won the first ever 'best illustrator'? The Dragon Pencil awards don't seem to be a thing any more, the domain is dead. It does appear from the subject's website that there's been repeated and some extensive coverage in Mary Engelbreit Magazine, but I can't seem to figure out which issues, etc. valereee (talk) 13:46, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Moonbeam awards page says they gave out 81 gold, silver or bronze awards in 2007, in 27 categories. She won the first prize (gold) in the "Best Illustrator" category. It's something, but I don't think it's enough. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There's also a Russian-language article that looks like it was a feature on her at her website. Again, can't get to it and because it's a pdf of the article, can't translate it or google it.valereee (talk) 20:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did find this source of information about children's literature and book awards, updated 2007 [16], which says " The DragonPencil Awards honor the very best in independently published children's books. The sponsors describe it as "the most prestigious award for self-published children's publishers in the industry." Winners receive a plaque and 2000 embossed, foil-printed seals to apply to their books. Categories include: Book of the Year, Illustration (gold, silver medals), Literature (gold, silver medals)." I also found a couple of short reviews of her books: My Mother Gave Me the Moon - "heartfelt ... full of tender words ... simple text and vivid colors" [17]; And Then In A Twinkling "charming little book of watercolor artwork and inspirational sayings. It promises to bring out the holiday cheer in anyone." [18] I don't think it matters not knowing a DOB, but we do need independent sources for the information that is included in the article.

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:NORG. Almost all of the coverage provided is either press releases, business award announcements. Business awards are often non-notable, and having won awards is not a criterion included in WP:NORG–it is however, included as an example of trivial coverage. I wasn't able to find anything better online. I do want to note that there is one source included that contains non-trivial coverage whose reliability I am uncertain of [22]. However, even if we do take it as an example of reliable, independent, significant coverage, it is the only such source that I have seen and thus still falls short of notability guidelines. signed, Rosguill talk 02:04, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unsure about this. I wonder if it just needs a couple of extra sources. So far I've been able to find this one, which is a press release but on the Maltese government website and seemingly independent of the country itself, as well as this one and this one and this one which are from national papers, although again I'm unsure of the reliability. They have articles across Google News in English, Dutch and German at least, from what I've been able to see. I think this is just a case of needing a re-write with better citations, which I'm willing to take on. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 12:51, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first article provides the barest of information about Altaro's operations, the second one just says is that the subject won award, and includes quotes from the CEO for the rest of its content. 3 is a collection of paraphrasals and quotes from the CEO that doesn't contain independent analysis, and 4 is an interview with the cofounders that again contains no independent analysis. This doesn't seem to meet WP:ORGCRITE any more than what's attached to the article. signed, Rosguill talk 19:47, 20 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can see what you mean. However, two is not really enough for a consensus on this. In the meantime, I'm going to try and improve the article and find some better resources, to see if it can meet WP:ORGCRITE standards. Hope that's okay. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • After deliberation, keep. Company has been featured in all three of the most prominent Maltese English-language newspapers: The Malta Independent, Malta Today and Times of Malta (see this list for the rest). Even though it may not be an internationally renowned company, I'd say coverage in the three national papers (and not insignificant coverage at that) is enough to warrant its importance to Malta. Its success outside of Malta is a bonus, IMO. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 21:48, 22 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, there's nothing undisclosed about this. Yes, I have started taking on some paid edits because I'm trying to make it a little easier for my family and I to get by, but this is not one of them. As I've said before, and as you've already seen, I disclose my paid edits, even before I actually get paid. I'm also trying to become more involved in Wikipedia as a whole, when I get the chance. That includes trying to be an active and productive member of the Wikipedia community. I don't think my points were unreasonable, I try to make neutral and constructive edits wherever possible. and furthermore, this is a discussion; I can't save the page by myself, even if they were paying me.

  • Keep as the creating editor, I wanted to leave my comments. After covering them while studying, I was amazed Altaro didn't have a Wikipedia article. So started the Wikipedia article as they are Malta's fastest growing software company. There are various publications that give them this title and anyone who researches the subject properly will find this. Significant coverage - The article currently references with sustained significant coverage in multiple very reliable sources including The Malta Independent, Malta Today and Times of Malta as mentioned by @MrMarkBGregory. I see no reason why this article should be deleted. On the other hand, I found someone has added the promotional stuff in the article that i will remove to improve the article.

  • Comment As it stands, since the article is about the Company, the references fail the criteria for establishing notability and therefore a !vote should be to Delete. The references referred to above (the Malta references) fail WP:ORGIND as they are "Dependent coverage" based on company announcements or industry-award announcements with no indications of intellectual independence. But ... from a perusal of sources, I am of the opinion that there are sufficient references to support an article on the software (not the company) and should an article be written focussing on the software, then information on the company (currently contained in the current article) could be summarized as a section in the new article.

  • Weak keep The Independent source is strong, with significant coverage, and reporting on the work of two historians, and it states his claim to notability, "Of all the Somme stories that resonant in this county, his is perhaps the most extraordinary - for the bravery of his sacrifice and for what would come later. "We could tell 100 stories about what happened in the war, but when we focus on one story it really brings all the pain, suffering and grim consequences to light and there's no story better than Fr O'Sullivan's," historian Maurice O'Keeffe said." It would be good to have more than one significant source - as the book that E.M.Gregory found is not online, it would be good if someone could check what it says about him.

Post West Dugout[edit]

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

This is an article about a place on the National Register of Historic Places that contains only two sentences. The first sentence has a citation to the National Register Information System. The second sentence claims that the historic place is a "dugout", but is unsourced nor does the NRIS verify this. It is also a perfectly reasonable assumption that the place once belonged to a Mr. Dugout who may or may not have been an acquaintance of Mr. Dubois, Mr. Dupont, or Mr. Dupree. The NRIS states that this place has an address restriction meaning its nomination form is not available for download from the National Park Service, the National Archive, nor the Texas Historical Commission. A Google search yields no results with meaningful information not requiring subscription. As such, this article provides no information not already available in National Register of Historic Places listings in Garza County, Texas nor is it likely that any new source of information will be available online any time soon. This article should therefore be deleted until such time as someone is able to obtain a reliable source to create an article more substantial than what is already published on the county list summary.

  • Delete. There's a consensus at WP:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places not to create stubs solely from NRIS data. This is worse still when NRIS data is redacted. The subject is probably notable, but what we have right now is a non-article; nothing of value is lost by deleting it. A red link is preferable because it signals that the article is still needed—and any champions of the West Post Dugout can recreate it when they actually have reliable sources in hand.

  • Delete since I didn't formally place that vote when nominating the sub-sub-stub. There is no basis to have this article at present when it contains less info than the county list article provides. The one vote so far to keep was made by the page creator claiming that there exists extensive documentation by experts about the importance of the place. If he has access to such documentation, then he should have included it on the page when he created it rendering this discussion moot. @Coolabahapple, I don't know whether this is a dugout house, barn, canoe, fire-pit, or any other reason for the name in NRIS. @TheCatalyst31 and @Gene93k, while the nomination form may be available upon request, I believe most editors would rather spend such time and effort on historic places they feel are much higher priorities. If someone wishes to go to that trouble, then, by all means, they can recreate the article when they have enough information to provide something meaningful. Within this county, I would think the county courthouse, the one non-restricted address site without an article, would be a much higher priority. Also, Gene93k, I'm guessing that this is not a separate town site as "Post" is the name of the town that is currently the county seat. I don't know for a fact that my guess is true, and the NRIS does not address that; so, it would be presumptuous of me to assume that the name was eponymous to the town instead of referring to a location by a post oak, something to do with the mail service, a fence post, or some other kind of post without citation.

Indiscriminate and unmaintainable list. "Live action television series" encompasses the vast majority of all scripted drama and comedy series that exist at all (i.e. every single one that isn't animated), so it's not a useful basis for a list. Further, the series chosen for listing here are a highly unrepresentative minority of all the series that could have been listed -- some other 2010 series premieres that haven't been added here include Hot in Cleveland, Detroit 1-8-7, Hiccups, Death Comes to Town, Dan for Mayor, Call Me Fitz, Shattered, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, Trauma, Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures, Lost Girl, Big Lake and Terriers, and that's still not even one per cent of a complete list.

  • Comment if the article at List of Attorneys General of Washington had more prose, it would be reasonable to discuss this there. Regardless, this needs (state) disambiguation for Washington, as this is not about DC. power~enwiki (π, ν) 04:37, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Redirect (to Noah Purcell -despite a traipse through a mix of BEFORE sweeps (anyone with access to legal journals could take a look there), there seems little coverage of the office itself. I currently think there are at least two reasonable redirect targets (the list and Noah) thus picking one would be inappropriate. However I'm particularly open to someone making a good case for one being a clear redirect target. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:16, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Nosebagbear: Why would this be redirected to a list of Attorneys General when that is totally a different office (I assume you're talking about the Attorneys General)? Besides, there really is only one notable Washington Solicitor General: Noah Purcell. That list has nothing to do with Purcell however he is the only notable Solicitor General officeholder. I'd like to see someone argue why it shouldn't be redirected to Purcell. Every obvious reason points to it being redirected to him. ––Redditaddict69 (talk) (contribs) 05:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Redditaddict69: Being an idiot I missed the different position! Chetsford's argument also isn't unreasonable, but it makes sense to go the thing most looked for. Obviously as soon as we get another well-covered person in the position we'd have an argument to de-redirect it (probably to create a disambig). Nosebagbear (talk) 11:05, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I've just spent the better part of a half-hour searching for sources and can find nothing. Indeed, if it weren't for the coverage about Purcell himself and the OSG's own website, there would be no evidence this position even existed. It doesn't even appear to be an office codified under the Revised Code of Washington, but rather is an administrative creation. It doesn't have inherent notability under WP:NPOL and certainly doesn't pass the GNG. (For the record, I oppose a redirect to Purcell since he is not Solicitor-General-for-Life.) Chetsford (talk) 10:09, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Even on a ProQuest search to locate 13-year-old media coverage that wouldn't be likely to Google, I still found literally nothing. As always, television specials are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they existed — they need media coverage to get them over WP:GNG, Emmy or Gemini or Canadian Screen Award nominations, or other evidence of notability beyond simply existing, but this had none of that.

  • Do Not Redirect I don't see this as being related to the Washington DC event any more than Walk for Life West Coast, and none of the references suggest it's related. If there's a general article on American annual pro-life rallies, a redirect there would be fine.

Promotionally toned WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable sourcing to carry it. Her only listed release is an EP, and there's no indication of touring or hit singles or anything else -- the closest thing to a notability claim here, in truth, is the number of views a video got on YouTube (and that's not referenced at all). And for sourcing, what we have here is her self-written profile on ReverbNation, her (deadlinked) self-written profiles on the parts of the MTV and CBC Music websites that used to allow artists to EPK themselves, and a single piece of user-generated content on Digital Journal that reads more like a press release than like real notability-supporting journalism. Exactly zero of these sources count toward getting a person over WP:GNG, and nothing claimed in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to get over GNG.
