Yonetarō Murata[edit]

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

Boilerplate rationale adapted from my previous AfDs of similar photographer articles (such as Keizaburō Saeki), which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. I have nominated several others for deletion, but have improved and de-orphaned quite a few more when sources have been available.

To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE."

In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name. None of the English transliterations turned up anything of use. He does not appear in the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography.

I have also checked his Japanese name, but I didn't find anything of substance. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it. I searched his Japanese name there and found nothing.

In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted.

Courtesy ping to Hoary, who is knowledgeable on the topic of Japanese photographers, and whose commentary on these AfDs is invaluable to me, especially when it causes me to alter my opinion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 23:29, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The "328" book says almost nothing about him. (The page devoted to him is mostly blank.) It's unlikely that much will have been discovered about him in the two decades since the book was compiled. -- Hoary (talk) 02:40, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I trust Hoary's assessment. If he died during the war, his oeuvre would presumably be in the public domain and we could fill an article up with sourced commentary on the photos (similarly to what I've been doing with, say, Omina no Chichihaha), but if we haven't been able to do that until now then we probably will never do it.

Aldo Ghiozzi[edit]

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

Article on a former, unsuccessful write-in candidate for mayor of Brentwood, California [1] is currently referenced by a single source. An extensive BEFORE (newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books, JSTOR) finds no other RS other than the East Bay Times mention of his mayoral candidacy and a self-authored mention on the local PBS affiliate website (plus the in-article source which contains purely trivial information). Per WP:NPOL and longstanding consensus, failed candidates for political office are not inherently notable and sources must establish notability independent of coverage of their candidacy which we generally consider WP:ROUTINE. There is insufficient WP:SIGCOV to otherwise demonstrate this passes the GNG. Indeed, we have so little biographical information it's not even clear if this individual is currently alive as there's also an obituary here [2] but, since the article can't even source his DOB, it's unclear if this is the same person.

In principle I have no issue with Draftiying articles, but oppose draftiying BLPs except in rare circumstances. Our obligations to the privacy of non-notable individuals preclude maintaining pages on them on Wikipedia, even if they are in non-searchable namespaces.

Delete I have failed to find any other sources except for East Bay Times one that is WP:SIGCOV (2 sources in Italian but both are passing mentions [3] and [4], but not enough for the subject to be a WP:BASIC pass). This shouldn't go to draft, as it should be a place for something to be worked on if there are enough sources (and even then WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP) or for an upcoming subject that has yet to achieve notability but possibly could.

Keep - This article describes a number of sources being available in Danish about the flag and its creator, including two pieces in the Bornholms Tidende news paper and coverage in a history book. Passes WP:GNG, please note WP:NEXIST FOARP (talk) 07:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in some way. Sources that FOARP has found make this not be viable for deletion here. Passes WP:GNG as there are multiple significant coverage in reliable secondary sources (domestic newspapers should absolutely count as such). At worst, this should be merged into Bornholm as an alternative to deletion (not a recognized flag and a stub like this could be better covered there).

Article is blatantly promotional/"about me"-like (and judging from the talk page, has been so for a very long time), it's a list of the things he's done but does nothing to establish notability.

There's no SNG for volleyball, so we have to rely on WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Lack of in-depth sources means the subject fails GNG, and I can't find a record of any achievement lofty enough that he would hit WP:ANYBIO. At the last AfD, someone linked a Google News search with some sources they believed applied, but failed to link the sources, and now the link doesn't work, so it's not much use to us.

However, the OP of that post does mention some newspaper names, which I checked: Østlandets Blad basically had local fluff pieces, nothing in-depth and nothing that indicates he had a professional career - it's all junior-level stuff. Nothing found at Stavanger Aftenblad. Akershus Amtstidende is another junior-league article. Bien Public didn't have anything.

Article was kept by no consensus last time due to weak keeps; clearly the subject has not increased his extremely minimal notability in the last decade, so this article should be deleted. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per BOZ. Holian is an established author, with more credits to his name than several other writers.--Robbstrd (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, verbosity is not one of the criteria of WP:NAUTHOR under which authors achieve inherent notability. Chetsford (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

However, authoring multiple Notable books is a criterion for NAUTHOR, and the subject of this article has done so. Newimpartial (talk) 01:40, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not. Chetsford (talk) 01:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

NAUTHOR 4(c) "The person's work has...received significant critical attention". NBOOK 1. "The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include ... reviews." So an author of at least two notable books meets NAUTHOR by definition. I mean, I suppose there may he notable books that haven't received two or more reviews, based on some of the other criteria, but I doubt that many exist and any way, the subject of this article wrote books that satisfy the review criterion and therefore meets AUTHOR 4(c).Newimpartial (talk) 01:47, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, WP:NAUTHOR 4(c) says "The person's work (or works) has ... won significant critical attention". "Significant critical attention" must be demonstrated, not simply declared. If several reviews of Holian's books in the New York Review of Books or Le Nouveau Magazine Littéraire or similar publications can be demonstrated, I'll be more than happy to withdraw the nomination. Chetsford (talk) 02:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And WP:NAUTHOR isn't even that strict - it just needs to be non-self-published/peer-edited reviews. It's multiple reviews which pass WP:NAUTHOR, not books written. SportingFlyer T·C 02:06, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And we have Notable/multiply reviewed books here, a.k.a. "significant critical attention". As usual, Chetsford is trying to conjure up a deletionist bar contra policy, but I have trouble understsnding your !vote, SportingFlyer, given what you say here about AUTHOR. Newimpartial (talk) 11:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Again, if one believes there are significant reviews in RS, one needs to provide evidence of those reviews. Per WP:NEXIST, "merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive". Chetsford (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a fairly extensive BEFORE search and didn't find anything that would get him over the WP:AUTHOR line. All the coverage I found was from blogs or non-reliable sources, so even though I don't expect the New Yorker to have reviewed him, there's also not enough reliable secondary sources that would get him over the notability line, especially given he's a possible BLP.

Neutral per WP:RAPID. We have articles on each of the deputy leadership elections in the lib dems (at least all of the recent ones in the last two decade). One is expected to take place - in 2019 (the timetable for these is rather swift - and many of the previous ones occurred when the deputy was appointed to something else and didn't want to hold on to the party post). I can't quite find a source discussing this (in the sea of sources on the leadership election results - in which the deputy leader Jo Swinson became leader) - however I'm fairly sure that even at this early stage there are sources, and that the election itself will take place in the near future. If we delete this - we'll only end up re-creating it in less than a week.

Delete per nom. while there is an article, it could be added to an aftermath section of 2019 Liberal Democrats leadership election --SalmanZ (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now - As far as I can see at the moment there is no guarantee it will take place - the position went unfilled from 2015-2017 and the Lib Dem parliamentary party is only slightly larger now than it was then. Equally, given the current parliamentary arithmetic, there is a chance that when parliament meets after the recess a general election could be called. In this case it is more likely that any ballot would happen after that date, possibly as late as early 2020, so I think this an event not certain to occur. If and when a ballot is announced then the issue can be looked at again. Dunarc (talk) 20:43, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Chaotix[edit]

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

As a subject, the topic of this article fails WP:GNG. Most references and information in the article seem to be in regards to the game Knuckles' Chaotix and not the subject of this article, the group with the namesake. The subject of this article seems to have not gained any notability outside of Sonic the Hedgehog "in-universe" references, meaning the subject itself is not notable enough to be an encyclopedic topic. Anyone who is looking for this title would be better served by being redirected to read Knuckles' Chaotix, and any information in this article pertaining to the characters can be merged into List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters (though I don't think there is anything to merge.)

Delete There are two sources: . The Forbes column does use the term in the headline, and uses it twice more. (I uses just "hustle" 5 times more.). This would seem to be the actual source for the phrase, because it does explicitly propose it as a neologism: "It seems that everywhere I go, people are suffering from the “hustle culture” pandemic. By hustle culture, I mean the collective urge we currently seem to feel as a society to work harder, stronger, faster." That a Forbes writer proposed the phrase, does not mean it is widely used. The earlier NYT column uses the phrase in a very general sense , twice only in a article that uses the general term hustle by itself 8 times. It doesn't say or indicate or imply that the phrase is a standard descriptor. Looking elsewhere on google, it seems to be used in a general way, as people might say "workout culture", "office culture" , "New York culture" (we have an article Culture of New York City, which is an example the general use of the word "culture" in non-specific unfixed combinations. We have, for example , a redirect from Food culture to the actual article title Sociology of food . Possibly it might become a standard phrase, but most similar terminology has not. DGG ( talk ) 18:12, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the article is currently very short, and scholarly sources are in short supply, but there are better ones than those given, and far more of a similar quality. It's not a neologism, though many of the older sources discuss the concept not in the context of Silicon Valley tech companies as the newer ones do, but in the context of Surinamese immigrants to the Netherlands; see for example this 2012 book (p. 182) referring to an earlier work on the topic from 2001. Here is an in-depth profile on "hustle culture" in advertising predating the Forbes piece, and the term is very widely written about in news media, e.g. Wall Street Journal. There has been a significant rise in use of the term since the essay in the New York Times (which also predates Forbes, by the way), but older uses exist, and "it has become more popular recently" is no reason to not have an article. Rather, that was probably the reason behind writing the article now, instead of last year. Huon (talk) 21:10, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Workaholic, as the two terms appear to be largely synonymous. A brief mention of the term, as well as the sources being used here that mention it, can be added to that article if needed. Rorshacma (talk) 15:44, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Workaholic" is a quasi-medical and derogatory framing in which the work is seen as dysfunctional – addictive or compulsive busywork. Even when they have "made it", the workaholic will keep working. Andrew D. (talk) 16:07, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that is what the article, and most of the sources, seem to be describing. Pretty much all of the sources, both in the article and found in this AFD, are describing "hustle culture" as dysfunctional, with one of the sources being used in the article (the Times article) even using the term "workaholism" to describe hustle culture. Hence why I suggested that as the redirect/merge target. To be fair, I can see how work ethic could also be a valid target, and would not have any objection if that is what is decided, but based on the sources, I still think Workaholic to be more appropriate.Rorshacma (talk) 16:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. Overall, the rationales for article retention are outweighing the rationales presented here for deletion, particularly notions that the event has had WP:LASTING significance, along with sources presented in the discussion that suggests this notion. I feel that the overall arguments for retention, which roughly assert enduring notability, have sufficiently countered WP:NOTNEWS concerns about the topic. Furthermore, one user that !voted for deletion later stated that the article should not be "entirely deleted", which counters their own initial !vote and suggests that a merge of some sort may be functional. The overall consensus, relative to the arguments presented herein, is for the article to be retained. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:59, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's just a single event, not massacre or genocide that it require any wikipedia page. It doesn't meet any WP:Notability criteria and doesn't increase the encyclopedic knowledge of the readers. --Harshil169 (talk) 07:16, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nom's reliance on WP:NOTNEWS in support of deletion is puzzling, because the subject matter meets WP:GNG at a fundamental level so there doesn't appear to be a reason to hunt for reasons to delete it. The topic has received significant coverage (here,here,here,here, etc.) in reliable sources (Economic Times, India Today, NDTV Outlook, The Tribune, etc.) that are independent of the subject. Harshil169's characterization of the event as a "single event" is equally puzzling. The event is related to a separatist movement in India and was allegedly perpetuated by ULFA, a primary proponent of one such movement. Therefore, the event is very much a part of the encyclopedic body of knowledge. The event deserves an article because of its relationship to the greater separatist movement at least as much as the 1993 Aurora shooting (which killed 4 persons) deserves a place in the encyclopedic body of knowledge because of its relationship to the greater issue of mass shootings in the US.Deccantrap (talk) 19:47, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's not how single events are decided and Harshil's characterization is damn accurate; otherwise we can link nearly every event to some broader subject and then, have an article. In these days of media-coverage, every trivial crime is amplified all across multiple media and what we essentially look for is lasting coverage, after some time has already passed. ~ Winged Blades^Godric 05:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This event deserves the section in the ULFA or some other separatism related articles. The article shouldn't entirely deleted but it should be used when it's appropriate and increase the encyclopedic value of reader while reading article. --Harshil169 (talk) 04:26, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion aside, the article is unreliably sourced (Blogspot? Really?) and the model isn’t notable. Participation in the “prestigious” Elite Model Look contest is not an indicator of notability or success. Many completely unknown and unnotable models do the same thing every year. (Also, the Ford Supermodel of the World competition makes no mention of her. It’s odd that a model would participate in the competitions of two rival agencies if she “won” one of them already.

It is not a real area, it is created by a sock, where the goal is only promotion using the Wikipedia. Meeanaya (talk) 08:10, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment although it isn’t an actual administrative unit, the refs provided in the article show that it is a term in current use and widely understood. We have an article for Khalistan movement but not one for Khalistan so perhaps this article should be renamed Jatland movement? Mccapra (talk) 08:25, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mccapra, Although it is popular term used by the politicians to draw attention and there is nothing significant. Another example can be Hinduland or Muslimland. The page was created by a Sock with a very clear purpose to seek advantages for term Jatland. Meeanaya (talk) 09:08, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meeanaya I think Hinduland and Muslimland are differ from Jatland. --Ashok Talk 17:19, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Meeanaya I understand the point you're making but I believe that our policies on Wikipedia mean that even if this 'isn't really a thing' and is just an idea some people are talking up for partisan purposes, if it has been covered extensively in the press it is likely to be notable, regardless of who originally created the article and whatever their purpose was. The refs provided in the article look sound to me. If there are literally no other references to Jatland then this may be a borderline case, but if there are other pieces in the mainstream press also discussing the idea, it probably is notable enough to have its own article. Thanks. Mccapra (talk) 20:18, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  - OK I understand the point that the article defines an area as being known casually as 'Jatland' while none of the sources for the article offer any such definition, just referring to it as if its meaning is already understood. In terms of sourcing for a geographical definition, I've so far found:

  - It's an informal name for a region (similar to e.g., Tri-state area), WP:Geoland allows that these be kept on a case-by-case basis if supported and notable under WP:GNG. This is supported by reliable sources (e.g., 1 2 3 ). FOARP (talk) 07:13, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - None of the three sources that you point to state that. One is all about stereotypes of Haryana, one is about a politician visiting Bagpat district, and one is about BJP politicians in the Jind district. None of the three actually contain a single fact about a Jatland. You aren't actually putting the Primary Notability Criterion into practice at all. You are phrase-matching headlines and sub-heads, some of which are even signalling that this is a nonce term by putting it in quotation marks. Putting the PNC into practice involves evaluating the depths of sources, which involves finding out what they actually tell one about a subject. So I challenge you again: What do sources actually tell one about this subject? Uncle G (talk) 08:14, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

delete: first of all, WP:GEOLAND is not applicable here as the name is not given/created/labelled by census authority or any other government body. secondly: Elected or other politicians use it for politicial/divisive reasons, in that case it doesnt pass it WP:GNG; as most of the times the term is used in either steriotypical manner (talking about Jat community), or in some sort derogatory and/or crude manner (or humour). These sources do not meet criteria for reliable sources. The only two reliable sources that "mentioned" the term, was because they quoted the same peron who had used the term. It is as trivial as it can get.Thirdly: Other such terms which are used, like Tristate area, or some "golden triangle" for industries, or toursim; are used by government officially. eg: "the crime rate in tristate area has increased, so we are increasing our efforts to stop it". That was a statement from few years back from the government. Other statements by government can be found like "offering schemes in x-y-z golden triangle to boost industries" or "tourism". There are also numerous articles about those areas. These articles discuss the subject in depth. Like "what constitutes as tristate, the brief history of tristate, how was the crime in past, the current crime situation, possible reasons/speculations of the increase, government's response to the increase" and so on. The point is, all of these areas receive significant coverage that too persistently. Whereas Jatland hasnt been covered by any WP:RS in depth. Government doesnt use it officially. It fails WP:GNG, and as explained in first point, it fails WP:GEOLAND. Its a nickname. It exists. But its not notable. —usernamekiran(talk) 09:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:NOTDIC. A simple and self-explanatory portmanteau of Jat and -land that headline-writers sometimes find catchy, the subject itself fails WP:GEOLAND (as it represents no legally recognized or even disputed geographic entity) and WP:GNG (no significant coverage by reliable sources of either the term or what it represents). And unlike, say, Khalistan, proposals for forming an actual Jatland are essentially throwaway calls and are best covered as a single sentence at Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) if found to be due even there. At close of AFD, the page can be redirected to Jat people. Abecedare (talk) 16:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I agree with the concise and precise explanation of Abecedare. I guess keep !voters are confusing popularity with notability. The term is regularly & casually used by Indian media. And its meaning can only be understood in the context of the article. It may mean an area dominated by Jats numerically, politically, or culturally. And as such there is no definition of Jatland. I must also mention here that, leaving behind the relevant government notifications, we require academic sources for South Asian religion/caste/ethnicity-related claims on this project, as media standards are extremely poor here. As far as academic sources are concerned, they hardly ever use this term. I could find only a single quality source which comes anywhere close to defining Jatland. Here is the relevant quote:^[1]

As the table below shows, while the country’s foodgrain production has nearly doubled since 1970–1, it has trebled in the case of Punjab and Haryana. If we were to also include the Hindu Jats of western Uttar Pradesh (UP) and their Sikh counterparts who have ‘colonized’ the irrigated tracts of northern Rajasthan (mainly Ganganagar and Hanumangarh) and the Tarai area of Uttarakhand, the result is a geographically contiguous, extended ‘Jatland’ territory. It is this belt that has been the cradle of India’s Green Revolution.

In short, the term is neither well-defined in any quality source nor it meets the WP:GNG (as it is always mentioned in passing).So, we are left with WP:ATD. If someone can provide reliable sources which define the term properly, then we can merge/redirect it somewhere, let's say, Jat people. Otherwise we should delete it. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:32, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GEOLAND This sbbject meet our GNG with WP:RS. I am not an expert on India however I relied on the descriptions put forth - the subject appears to be sometimes described as a village, and or a region. India Times, Open The Magazine, Travel Triangle, and DNA India. Lightburst (talk) 16:59, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightburst: Since you point to WP:GNG, can you spell out how how this blog qualifies as a reliable source and how that or the other sources you list list contain "significant coverage" on the subject? To avoid confusion, I'll note that significant coverage means that the source "addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content". If after reading those sources, you are not even sure if the term refers to "a village, and or a region", wouldn't that indicate that those sources are not fit to write an encyclopedic entry on the subject? Abecedare (talk) 17:14, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Abecedare I determine from the sources that it exists. I think you can ignore the blog that you have dismissed and consider the rest, including the non-english press. Using various criteria I see that it is a place. India is a complicated geographical location with a mix of regions, villages, and areas often described by locals and others in contradictory descriptives. I will continue to search as I always do. Lightburst (talk) 17:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightburst: Mere existence is not what is required by GNG, which you cited. And GEOLAND, which you also cited, simply does not apply. 'Jat land' exists as a concept, not a specific geographical region. Please read the posts above by Usernamekiran and NitinMlk, who are very much familiar with the geography and complications of India, to understand what the subject and discussion are about. I'll particularly point you to the latter's accurate (albeit WP:OR) definition, And its meaning can only be understood in the context of the article. It may mean an area dominated by Jats numerically, politically, or culturally. That will help explain how the articles you cited don't even use the term to refer to the same concept.Times of India uses Jatland as a synonym for Haryana; Open magazine uses it to talk about Jat migrant community in Chhattisgarh; while DNA India uses it to highlight Jat electoral prowess in Delhi. Abecedare (talk) 17:37, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

India Census 2011 describes an area as simply Jat, and the specific term Jatland is not used in the 2011 census. From one source provided it looked as if there were protests regarding the creation of Jatland. Not sure we dismiss ignore the one about creation of Jatland. Lightburst (talk) 17:46, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Jat, Sangli in Maharashtra is not remotely related, in any sense, to Jat people or Jatland; the names do not even derive from the ~~same family of~~ same languages. And this article is not talking about "creation of Jatland." Interpreting its mention of "convert it into 'Jat land' on March 20" as such, is akin to interpreting "Democrats plan to turn Texas blue in 2024" to a desire to spray-paint the state. :)

May I suggest that you withdraw your !vote at this afd and we hat the following discussion since its going increasing off-topic and bordering on WP:CIR/WP:IDHT? Abecedare (talk) 18:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Lightburst: Like Abecedare said: Jat, Sangli is a completely different town. It has nothing to do with the Jat community. The town belongs in state of Maharashtra, and such is a marathi language name. No relation to Jat community, or Jatland at all. The "creation of Jatland" article you provided uses the term metaphorically. Like some clowns saying, "we will host a show in delhi on March 20, and convert it into merryland". Kindly read my vote above. —usernamekiran(talk) 19:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: From further research and examination of the references, this subject does not pass GNG. Jatland is not an actual region or village and the 2011 census has confined this. WP:GEOLAND is not met. I am unsure what Jatland refers to at this point but it seems plausible to assume that Abecedare may be correct in stating it is like saying, "Democrats plan to turn Texas blue in 2024". I cannot even find that Jatland fits a descriptive area like the Southern United States. Lightburst (talk) 01:41, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GEOLAND. Although this is not a legal entity, there is non-trivial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources (Business Standard, News18, Hindustan Times etc.) which makes it notable. While it does appear to be just an idea, it is one that has received significant coverage and so passes notability guidelines. It's essentially an unofficial region with citations to support its existence. Highway 89 (talk) 01:43, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Highway 89: Hi. Could you provide links to the reliable sources that covers the subject significantly, rather than just naming them? —usernamekiran(talk) 03:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- None so far, do. There's actually no coverage at all in any of the sources cited, because they do not contain a single fact about this purported concept, not even support for the first sentence of the article at hand. I have been pointing out what they actually document. Have you read them? Uncle G (talk) 05:13, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Revising to delete. Upon further reading of the sources, the coverage appears to be purely speculative with no real facts of note. Highway 89 (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Abecedare's cogent portmanteau explanation and usernamekiran's GEOLAND explanation. I also note that the the sources, such as they are, variously use "Jat land" or "Jat-land", strengthening the portmanteau argument and signifying that this is not a standard term. --regentspark (comment) 22:03, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, exactly as RegentsPark explains, including their own referencing of Abecedare and usernamekiran. It is a nebulous concept deployed by lazy journalists. At best, this would be a WP:DICDEF thing. - Sitush (talk) 06:20, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Just like theatrical films, a television film is not handed an automatic notability freebie just because an IMDb entry offers technical verification that it exists: the notability test is the reception of reliable source coverage about the film, such as actual reviews by newspaper or magazine TV critics. But besides the IMDb profile, the only other source here is a special-interest magazine reporting a blog-sourced rumor that this film's lead actor had signed to be in it, which is not enough to get this over the "media coverage" test all by itself.

I wasn't speaking about the existence or non-existence of sources provided after I made my comment — I was addressing the inappropriately condescending tone needed to imply that sources not provided until after I said what I said somehow turn me into a bad Wikipedian for ever having said what I said in the first place. If enough other users vote keep to establish a consensus that the new sources are good enough, then I don't have to reverse my original comment before it can be kept — but my original comment doesn't make me a bad person just because new sources were shown after I made it either. In a nutshell, there was no need for NorthAmerica1000 to actually respond to my comment at all, especially not in a tone that implied that my original comment was negligent or incompetent.

Paschimbanga Dibas[edit]

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

Fails WP:NEVENT. The entire event was coined a couple of years back as a part and parcel of Hindutvavadi politics and is far from being mainstreamed.

The first source is an op-ed by a Hindu bigot over a Bengali daily. N

The second and third sources fails WP:RS by a few miles or so, per WP:NEWSORG. N

The fourth source (a Bengali daily) dated 20 May, 2018 mentions that a group of intellectuals wish to celebrate 20 June as Paschimbanga Divas. Nothing else. ?

The fifth source (over a reputed media) covers the event as part of BJP's communal politics in Bengal. Y

The sixth source is a BA dissertation. N

Keep The article meets the WP:Notability criteria and it is gaining attention in the Politics right now. Wikipedia pages should be neutral and any people/events from any political spectrum should be included if it has encyclopedic value. First source is reliable but credits of the statement should be given to the person who have wrote the OP-Ed in the newspaper. WP:Bias policy states that Wikipedia page should be neutral but sources can be biased and they are best to know different viewpoints. It is not required that person who did original research outside Wikipedia should be neutral, if it is requirement then all of the authors will become bigot due to people from other spectrum. Hence, the only recommendation will be to include the various view points of TMC, CPI (M) in the article and the statements of their leaders. Also, according to Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy, non-Ennglish sources can be used as reference. This article shouldn't be deleted. --Harshil169 (talk) 07:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Harshil169, op-eds can be used but they don't contribute to notability.

In Wikipedia, Teesta Setalwad's articles and Rana Ayyub's book are also cited as source which is obviously not reliable if we can check by WP:RS; even court had told to Prashant Bhushan that this is not reliable. My point is anyone's article can be used. Can you go in the more details that how 2nd and 3rd reference exactly violate the WP:NEWSORG criteria? --Harshil169 (talk) 12:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He is a bigot^{[citation needed]} and I stand by it.

I don't think Rana Ayuub is a RS for the Gujarat-affairs and don't spot her book as a source over Naroda_Patiya_massacre (which's a GA) or the main article about the riots, either. Obviously, there are scholarly sources who've used her as a source and that's fine enough. (FWIW, the Court's verdict is not a reliable indicator of scholarly reliability ... )

One of the sources is Samakal Darpan. Seems to be founded by a person of zero credibility and I can't spot anything else. Cached version of a FB page shows 48 likes but the page is currently unavailable. Have not ever heard of the paper. Don't confuse with Samakal, from Bangladesh.

Swastika is a (self-proclaimed) nationalist Bengali weekly. Have never heard of it, either. No mention or cross-referencing by any other reliable sources (frankly, there's no site, irrespective of reliability, that even talks about them). ∯WBG^converse 12:43, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything on a WP:BEFORE check (unless someone has resources they can see that I can't) to indicate its significance, let alone notability.

Hello Railfan23, Looks like you are busy targeting the films of one filmmaker. Of the films you have targeted it looks like this movie possesses the most notability as it was shown on USA Up All Night. As I have done with the other articles you have nominated for deletion I went to the official website and found a lot of information. Rhonda Shear confirms this film as being shown on her show in her book Up All Night: From Hollywood Bombshell to Lingerie Mogul, Life Lessons from an Accidental Feminist. It is also mentioned in the book Encyclopedia of Film Themes, Settings and Series [23], The Art of Movies [24], Horror and Science Fiction Films IV, [25] and Guide to American Cinema, 1965-1995. With a google search it is also widely discusses. I believe this provides notability and reliable sources. Chinanski (talk) 15:35, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chianski:. Could I urge you to read Wikipedia:Notability (films) which says what notability means on Wikipedia, specifically for films. Being shown on USA Up All Night does not meet any of the criteria listed. Similarly, being mentioned in the books you list does not meet the criteria. Thanks, Railfan23 (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Kumbalangi Nights I reviewed the sources in the article as well as what I could find online (which wasn't much more). Most of the references are interviews, which do not contribute to notability. The two non-interviews are reviews of the film itself, with Anna receiving only the most passing of mentions. I found a few more interviews online but that was it. I am not sure how notable her performance in this film even is: in her own words, I never expected people to notice me or my character. That doesn't sound like a major role to me. I would have to agree that this is at best a WP:BLP1E and a WP:TOOSOON. However, there is a valid ATD here, so we should take advantage of that.

I believe that she meets WP:ANYBIO, having received two significant awards, the National Order of the Lion of Senegal (I have fixed the link in the article so it's no longer a redlink), and also the Jonathan Mann Award for Health and Human Rights. We could argue about whether these awards are "well-known" - I'd be pretty sure that the Senegalese one is well-known in Senegal, and it seems to be a high-level award. Admittedly, I have not yet found an independent source for it, even googling it in French - 1990s media from Senegal may not be online. (I have just been through the edit history to check when and by whom the dates of the awards were added, and I see the resumé-like content and what looks like COI editing by one or more people close to the subject. The article itself is not looking too bad now, but the external links still need pruning!) RebeccaGreen (talk) 20:28, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@S. M. Nazmus Shakib:The last two months ago, the page given speedy deletion tag use @Worldbruce:. on the main point, an admin declined for that take to AfD for a full discussion this page 1. First of all, there is no trusted/reliable source in this article.
- The first link used in this article is Dead Link.
- No involvement of this article was found with the second source of this article which would be eligible for general notable.
- According to this source 1, this newspaper does not exist in the list of notable English newspapers of Bangladesh.
- Since the creation of this article the general notable guideline tags have been given and no coverage was found on Google.
- In Bangladesh there are lot of online newspapers available but that’s means all of newspapers aren’t notable.
- The keep rationale seems to be "we have many that are as bad, or even worse".--Nahal^(T) 07:35, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Demographics of Shanghai - This article essentially duplicates what's there. FOARP (talk) 10:27, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These people have a distinct language. The other suggested pages don't cover all these aspects, such as the diaspora. In any case, merger into other pages would not be a matter of deletion -- see WP:MAD -- and so the policy WP:PRESERVE applies. Andrew D. (talk) 12:50, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - firstly, I disagree that Shanghainese people (which refers to the native people of Shanghai, who may or may not live there), and Demographics of Shanghai (which is about the people who currently live in Shanghai, who may or may not be natives) are, or should be, about the same thing so I strongly oppose the above redirect suggestion. So the next question is whether the current article meets WP:GNGs. It's not well-sourced at the moment but from a quick search of Google books and news, there seems to be no shortage of sources that could be added to pad this out into a very comprehensive and well-sourced article. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:55, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Added a few sources onto the article. Subject does have its languages and culture and it is not intelligently understand for who speak Mandarin, Cantonese or other languages and it does not applies to all resident to who live in Shanghai. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 14:11, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant AfD: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Blue_Zone

Extremely promotional and mostly unsourced BLP in longevity, a field under arbcom sanctions. Only purpose seems to be promoting the questionable theory "Blue Zone". Other than primary and associated sources produced by subject himself, the very few third party sources does not illustrate this individual's notability, with many of them either inaccessible or are of questionable reliability, failing verification. Created and significantly written by an SPA User:Cogentimperator 12 years ago along with the Blue Zone article (XTools: [31][32]), whose versions reads like advertisements pre-prepared or copied from elsewhere. Seems to be a case concerning WP:Lunatic charlatans that escaped scrutiny. Tsu *miki*⧸ 🌉 08:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. I share some of the nominator's concerns on the state of the article. However, that can be rectified by stubbing the article down. As for the subject of the article - even a cursory BEFORE shows that this Ted speaker (not TedX), author of multiple notable books (passing NBOOK), clearly passes GNG (and most certainly NAUTHOR as well).

Blue Zone[edit]

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

Bullshit article. Promotional trainwreck. Article makes no third party substantiations on the genuity and notability of Dan Buettner's claim, while featuring great chunks of text from primary and associated sources produced by Buettner himself, with other sources used as a textbook violation of WP:SYNTH in support of this claim. Article otherwise failed WP:GNG and especially WP:NRV. Considering longevity is a topic under WP:ARBCOM discretionary sanctions and that numerous editors have filed neutrality complaints on talk page in the last 12 years, the fact that this trash survived this long is beyond me. The Dan Buettner article reads extremely promotional as well, with the SPA User:Cogentimperator being the creator and significant contributor to both articles (XTools: [43][44]), whose versions reads like advertisements pre-prepared or copied from elsewhere. WP:COPYVIO concerns seems to be pertinent as well. Tsu *miki*⧸ 🌉 08:13, 22 July 2019lo (UTC)

Keep - Referred to as such by others (not Buettner - I'm not sure he even coined the term) - e.g. this book, or these journal articles: [45][46][47][48][49] - quite a few hits on "Blue Zone"+longevity in google-scholar (and not passing ones - articles referring to this as a topic or attempting to identify an additional "blue zone"). If the article is promotional - it can be stubbed down to the bare minimum - however the topic itself is clearly notable.Icewhiz (talk) 08:42, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mentions like "The so called ..." in only a few academic sources alone may belong to Longevity or respective regional articles, but does not justify a full article here. And the one source you cited even disproved Buettner's one regional claim. With few reliable news media sources, and all promotional Buetner bit removed, I'm not even sure if the things you cited may be written as a coherent paragraph of prose here. Tsu *miki*⧸ 🌉 09:01, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Five journal articles that treat "Blue zone(s)" as a topic = meets GNG. And it's not just five - a simple scholar search for "Blue Zone" longevity shows multiple others (I just picked the first five hits - all of whom have "blue zone" in the title or in the abstract) - e.g. [50], [51]. As for Buettner - his book 2012 book - The blue zones: 9 lessons for living longer from the people who've lived the longest - has 381 citations - which is a rather strong indication of impact (and clearly passes WP:NBOOK).

CRON-diet[edit]

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

Insufficiently notable - in particular lack of coverage in reliable-for-health (WP:MEDRS) sources, without which a decent neutral article cannot be written Alexbrn (talk) 18:48, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, notability and usefulness-for-health proven by MEDRS are two totally different things. A diet might clearly be notable if it is widely discussed in national newspapers, or if it has been the subject of a cult following with all kinds of mischief (documented in reliable sources over the years), or if a mass of gullible celebrities had followed it (and been properly written about), even if the evidence for it were missing entirely, or indeed fabricated. A diet that met WP:MEDRS would be a useful diet, but a diet that didn't could still be notable. So much for the theory.

The CRON-diet seems to be based on a proper PNAS paper by Walford; and then followed up by The Anti-Aging Plan, with Walford as a co-author making up 5 of the remaining citations (not so good). But notability depends not on the current state of the article but on what's out there in the world. I see an article in The Telegraph, which would count towards notability. There's one in Slate, too, again, a decent ordinary (non-medical) source, and it mentions that the New York Times also had an article on it.

The CRON diet is discussed in a section "Long-term CR interventions in humans" in a 2017 paper by Anna Picca and colleagues in Clin. Interv. Aging; it regrets that "At present, only the collection of data recorded from the members of the Calorie Restriction Society, who have imposed on themselves a regimen of severe CR with optimal nutrition (CRON), believing to extend in this way their healthy lifespan, provides direct evidence that CR may affect the aging process in humans." but after a detailed discussion of the physiological effects concludes that "Effectively, also quality of life improved according to scores from survey on physical component, depression, and physical functioning." A search on NIH found also a paper on CRON and AMER diets and gut microbiota by Griffin et al 2018; it mentions dietary-practice-associated gut bacterial taxa.

There is (thus) genuine science behind Calorie restriction, but we already have an article on that; we also have one on the CR Society International which Walford helped to found. So it may be that a merge would be the right answer; or we may feel (given the evidence above) that the diet itself has attracted enough notability in its own right to be worth keeping. I'd incline to that latter view but am happy to discuss the evidence with other editors. Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:01, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources: [52], [53], [54], [55]. Coverage in medical journals is not required to establish notability. ~Kvng (talk) 23:20, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: There are no sources on the article that provide evidence of notability and 4 were provided here. As written the article is advertising and has severe WP:NPOV and original research issues. It is a caloric restriction diet.

1. WP:RS. This source discusses "25 percent less than the recommended daily allowance" and makes reference to “starvation diet.” This is nowhere in the article.
2. WP:RS. This reference is passing mention "For the majority of humans, the only way that would happen is if they found themselves locked in Biosphere 2 with CRON diet (calorie restriction with optimal nutrition) pioneer Dr. Roy Walford." but could be used for the negative aspects and CR content
3. This sources plasters a cookies "Express" notice on the page that has to be accepted and shared with partners Google, Amazon Europe Core SARL, IO Technologies, Moat, and Twitter so is forced advertising and I didn't accept.
4. Passing mention and titled The Biosphere 2 "starvation diet", references "team medic Dr. Roy Walford" and states "While his subjects pleaded with mission control for more supplies, Walford — who had been on the CRON-diet for years — maintained that their daily calorie intake was sufficient.". The article states "The CRON-diet was developed from data Walford compiled during his participation in Biosphere 2". This conflicts with the source.

The article claims without sources: "The CRON-diet involves calorie restriction in the "hope" that the practice will "improve health and retard aging", while still attempting to provide the recommended daily amounts of various nutrients.". Also without sourcing "Other names include CR-diet, Longevity diet, and Anti-Aging Plan". This is more advertising when only backed by primary sources. Anti-Aging is refuted in at least one supplied extra source and I believe so is Longevity. A main issue is that when all the WP:OR is removed there is nothing so would require the article to be blown up and started again. Otr500 (talk) 12:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article was it was PRODDED by Alexbrn who appeared to have done an incomplete WP:BEFORE search (looking only in PUBMED-indexed sources). I did my own quick search and included these as evidence in my DEPROD. I did not improve the article but I gave other editors a head start by posting the sources I found on the article's talk page. This article still needs work but we're not here to delete articles that need work (see WP:IMPERFECT). ~Kvng (talk) 14:15, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad you contested the "PROD". I don't know about an incomplete BEFORE but the article had already been subjected to a PROD in 2008. I have no problem with an imperfect article. I see two sources out of 7 that advances notability. This is not in my area of interest, and maybe not yours, but "IF" I created the article it would have to be from scratch. It would be from a neutral point of view written to include the concerns of pseudo-science, claims of "starvation diet", and other controversies over claims of health benefits including anti-aging, and longevity of life like the 120-Year Diet. It would include government and private studies, as well as clinical trials concerning a nutrient-rich diet that includes extreme caloric reduction (calorie restriction), providing needed balance.

What Wikipedia doesn't need is a one-sided view of a diet that should have any possible risks associated with it to be included so it doesn't appear to be painted too positive. Are there risks? Sure there are. If this can't included then the contents, or mention should be at a location that will, like Calorie restriction. Otr500 (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Are you making a WP:TNT argument here (I don't think there's a strong case for that) or just venting about the quality of the article? ~Kvng (talk) 01:29, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A failure of WP:GNG and WP:NFILM because there is no significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources. The article already has every source I could find on the film in my searches. My analysis of the sources...

1) IMDB is an unreliable source

2) A pure listing of the movie

3) More about the actress than the movie (also containing a lot of WP:PRIMARY quotes). ""Mohabbatein" fame actress Preeti Jhangiani returns to the big screen in "Kaash Tum Hote" after two years, but doesn't consider it her comeback movie. In "Kaash Tum Hote", Preeti plays a fashion photographer." is not WP:SIGCOV.

4) A decent source from Dainik Jagran but not enough on it's own.

5) The film is mentioned in passing: "She not only choreographed the song for Kaash Tum Hote, featuring Priya Kapoor and Mukesh Bharti". Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:17, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Insyde[edit]

Being streamed however many times does not qualify for the charting, certification, and airplay requirements at WP:NSINGER #2, 3, 11, 12. A WP:BEFORE search reveals no significant coverage in reliable sources to confirm any of the other criteria at WP:NSINGER. All that can be found are routine retail and streaming directories, plus an empty placeholder at AllMusic.

Also is mentioned in the independent music tracking website MusicBrainz (Often used by Wikipedia to gather data for songs and artists) [61].

Comment/Vote Change - I changed my stance to Keep from Weak Keep because the artist does pass notability standard for musicians as per WP:NSINGER. (Irrelevant bit of information: Also about a month ago I heard his song on a major Spotify editorial playlist. Another irrelevant note, the lyrics have been viewed a lot on Genius, which says something to me at least. He seems to have an engaged follower base, unlike the typical garage band wikipedia pages.

Delete. The first keep !vote basically sums up this articles problems. The WP:GHITS claim is not true. IP found blogs, wikis. Not reliable sources. The site mentioning him is a PR listing. Claim about verified is not true, youtube did not evaluate "coverage". Musicbrainz is just a listing. Mentions are not indepth coverage. On the later claim of AWAL, they are distributors, not the releasing record co. Nothing good for GNG or MUSIC. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Duffbeerforme: I agree there is no notable coverage about this artist. However, AWAL is not just a distributor, they are considered a full fledged label. They have a marketing department, sync department, and they bought a prominent radio station music pitching company. Distribution companies do not have all those things. So as I see it, the artist does fall under WP:NSINGER. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 15:37, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's pretend for a moment that Insyde lied when he said he'd signed a distribution deal. What two albums are you talking about? Reading the article I see a total of zero. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:30, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Duffbeerforme: - That is a possiblity. We would have to find a way to verify if he is actually signed to AWAL as he claims. (Are we allowed to try to contact AWAL and/or the artist for verification?) Currently on Spotify I only see one item listed as an album.[65] Depending on how we interpret #5 WP:MUSICBIO, this artist may not pass. If we are interpreting it on a basis of "has released" or a basis of "has (possibly) released, but taken down". I don't really know what the policy is in this case, if you can point me to any answers similar to this and the outcome, I may have to amend my vote as needed. Also another thing to point out, in researching the artist, I found out that he is about to release more music on August 2, which is coming up fast, which would add the second 'album' entry on Spotify. I am not sure how strict we have been on that in the past as well. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 20:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Based on dearth of RS coverages/recognition and the fallacy of the rationales provided by editors voting keep. For a subject to pop up in a google search means little towards notability if all they are are for wiki mirrors, retail and download sites, which is the case here. A verified YouTube channel is not (according to one editor) ”only given to artists on large labels with contacts at YouTube, and it means that YouTube deemed there enough coverage and the chance of impersonation of this artist to give it the verified Artist mark proof”. It is, in fact available to anyone who simply applies. See [66].

As for AWAL, a simple investigation of their site reveals It is not a “label” at all, but rather a multi-tiered service for do-it-yourself artists and independent labels to build success. In structure it is not unlike those quasi-vanity publishing houses offered to authors to get published, providing distribution and marketing services, etc. on multi-tier levels where the creator retains the rights/liabilities, and the service gets a piece of the action (i.e. their “fee”) based proportional on the level of service. See: [67]. As you can see from that link, to be with AWAL simply means all an artist needs to do is pass their submission criteria (in other words, be weeded out from the amateurs by having merit that could lead to genuine success.) To be clear, an Artist or label that has a deal with AWAL can be notable for other reasons, but in and by itself, being with AWAL doesn’t meet WP:MUSICIAN criteria for a being signed to a notable label. The wording “signed a deal with AWAL” is nothing more than WP:PUFFERY.

Bottom line: all that’s left is the argument being made for keep is based on WP:EXISTS, with no evidence of significant, independent recognition. At best, WP:TOOSOON ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I have to point out is that the YouTube answers link you put up there is for "Verification" which is only available to channels with over 100,000 subscribers. The link is NOT for "Official Artist Channel" applications see [68]. Those are two VERY different things.

AWAL would fit under this definition of a Record Label . Having experience in the music industry, what you described is literally how record labels work. Record labels place their artists on tiers based on projected success. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 19:04, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sources don't appear to justify notability, and the article itself is so promotional that it could be nuke-worthy anyway.

The result was keep. The article at the time of the nomination was not supported by sufficient sources to establish notability. However, whether to keep an article or not relies on what sources exist, not solely on what is present in the article. The early part of the discussion leans toward deletion and the later part of the discussion is in favor of keeping. In the middle of the discussion Haukurth introduced additional sources and an evaluation of their quality arguing compellingly that they are sufficient to establish the subject as notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Comments following Haukurth’s information are nearly all in favor of keeping. It’s appropriate and important in this situation to give greater weight to the portion of the discussion that was based on more complete information, which in this case comprises the later support for keeping the article.

Haukurth should be commended for the doing the heavy lifting of finding the sources, essentially performing the WP:BEFORE that should have been done by the nominator. -- Ed (Edgar181) 00:56, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~*Speedy Keep:~~ Right off the get-go, this is a tainted AfD. I'm opposed in principle to any AfD started by a SPA, given the high likelihood of sock/meatpuppery inherent. When the next two participants are an editor who really does devote much of his user page in a screed against Mr. Kratman (however much he has the most edits to the article over the last four years) and seemingly Kratman himself, this is a trainwreck in progress. I make no judgment of the subject's notability -- however much I agree that there's a lot of primary sourcing that should be stricken from the article -- which can come in a subsequent neutral AfD. Ravenswing 10:46, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So let me get this straight: your "speedy keep" argument comes down to the fact that though a neutral person started the AfD, the very person who seemingly has waited patiently for two and a half years for someone to post sources actually responded to the AfD, and a troll alleging that the person who asked for sources somehow has a personal vendetta even though they didn't start the AfD? That sounds less like an argument because no matter who starts this, all the troll has to do is run in screaming and you're going to give them a Heckler's veto. Imadethisstupidaccount (talk) 11:32, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have no knowledge or notion that you're a "neutral" person. In nearly fifteen years at AfD, my overwhelming experience is that someone who creates an account for the sole purpose of filing an AfD is very, very seldom "neutral." Genuine first-timers to Wikipedia don't have the institutional knowledge. Ravenswing 13:33, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And most of those were tagging all the problems with the article, 2 years ago. Arguments at AFD should be based on the subjects notability, not how many times an editor had edited a page.Slatersteven (talk) 18:05, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Whatever it is, this isn't a speedy keep, regardless of who started the AfD. The article is indeed poorly sourced, and it's not immediately clear that the author meets WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR.

Delete and salt This is a WP:BLP1E issue if I've ever seen one. A non-notable author managed to get their name on a slate produced by notable racist Vox Day for the Hugo Awards and that slate, including Kratman, led to a broad kerfuffle as described at Sad Puppies. However aside from involvement in a notable attempt to game a fan award, Kratman is a nobody of no significance within Science Fiction. Simonm223 (talk) 13:45, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment I agree that the Sad Puppies debacle is covered by WP:BLP1E, and does not establish notability. I've been trying to see whether it's possible to get him over the WP:NAUTHOR bar on the strength of criterion 3 - a well known body of work that has been subject of multiple independent reviews. I'm struggling - the best I've found is this (plus a few other reviews of his books linked to from there) in Publishers Weekly, and this in San Francisco Book Review. I'm not sure either of these work though. The Publishers Weekly reviews are very short, more of a synopsis than a review, and they don't have a reviewers name attached to them - I think they churn out one of these for basically every book that gets published - I don't see how that establishes notability. The SFBR review is slightly more substantial, and has a name - but I don't think it's a staff reviewer, as far as I can work out this is a volunteer contributor (they have a link saying 'Become a reviewer'), so this is essentially WP:UGC. Would like to know what others think before !voting though. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 15:03, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You are spot-on about PW. Those synopses are WP:ROUTINE coverage. San Francisco Book Review solicits "sponsored reviews" from authors and offers SEO services to authors - and it's mission is specifically to provide a high volume of reviews, so I would not consider them a reliable source for ensuring WP:NAUTHOR notability.

Thanks to Girth Summit for winkling out some more material; but by quality and authorship, I don't believe it is enough to satisfy our WP:NAUTHOR criteria. - I don't see any cause for a merge/mention at Sad Puppies either.

Comment If you need sources for this article, or any sci-fi/fantasy related Wikipedia article, I would recommend Mike Glyer's website "File770".

Why do you think that? It won several awards for the best fanzine and Mike Glyer is a known author. Also, it has a Wikipedia page (albeit one that also needs better sourcing). I admit I'm not a seasoned Wikipedia editor, but I can't find a problem with it as a source.

I'm sorry but it appears you don't understand WP:RS very well. Glyer's work is a blog - and blogs are not considered reliable sources as they lack editorial oversight and any method of organized fact checking and formal retraction. In addition blogs fall under WP:UGC which says that Wikipedia should not use any source that allows user-generated content as a source. So although Glyer's blog is a well-respected and well-known blog, it's still not considered a reliable source. Simonm223 (talk) 19:20, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay, that makes sense. But wouldn't that make io9 the only notable sci-fi/fantasy news site, except maybe Locus Online and Publishers Weekly? Speaking of Publishers Weekly, they also have a few reviews of Kratman's books: https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/authorpage/tom-kratman.html Would these be acceptable as sources? Hopladamus (talk) 20:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same Mike Glyer who publishes rumors of authors being pedos, then when proof is provided that the alleged events never took place and the convention in question denounces the allegation, refuses to pull the rumors, which came from some rando passerby.

You people are crazy and should be ashamed of yourselves Above, the deletionists are literally saying they want to kill this page because they don't like the subject's politics. They aren't even trying to hide it. I implore the rest of you, come to your senses and close this discussion.

Comment: Nice try, but they're saying nothing of the sort: the delete voters are pretty four-square in finding that the subject lacks notability.

That explains why all of a sudden, within 48 hours, at least three authors who've passed notability challenges before are suddenly randomly discovered by three different meatpuppets, and the pages of two others are vandalized.

Indeed - I for one don't know what the subject's politics are - I'd never heard of him before reviewing this article, and it doesn't mention his politics. Everything I know about him is what's in the article, and in the reviews I read - none of which mentions his politics.

I am vaugley aware of his politics (well his stated views on some subjects, whether these are politics or a Heinlein like millitraianaism I have no idea). And there is the key, his "politics" are not not new if SF, and in fact hark back to E E Doc Smith and Mack Reynolds (assuming this was not satire). Dodgy power is right right wing politics was a staple of 50's and 60's SF.

Delete Does not meet any wiki-notability standard, plain and simple.

Oh and the 9 PM panel on "History in SF&F". And two readings. And the Monday at 1 PM panel with David Sherman titled "Cui Bono in Bellum?")Oh wait, He's done that.

(edit conflict)Comment Again, I should mention for fans of this and other authors who may have come to Wikipedia that a convention schedule is categorically not a reliable source for determining notability for a whole host of reasons including WP:GNG (which does not include convention schedules as a sign of notability), WP:UGC (which would likely apply to a fan run convention), and WP:NAUTHOR which would require that Kratman be widely cited by his peers in reliable sources - which means even if a fan convention schedule was a reliable source it wouldn't be usable to confer notability as it does not include citations.

Mr Kratman is a legitimate author with at least ten professionally published books. Deleting his page would be in direct contravention to the core goals of Wikipedia. UndeadDan (talk) 16:23, 22 July 2019 (UTC) — UndeadDan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

The bar to cross for authors is significantly higher than "ten professionally published books," especially in these days of vanity presses and print-on-demand houses. See WP:AUTHOR for the guidelines in force. Ravenswing 21:45, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hence the term "professionally published," meaning he was paid an advance, by a major house, and collects royalties. If you are unfamiliar with this very basic industry term, you lack any credentials to comment on members of said community. WP:IDONTKNOWIT remains invalid.

I have made no such claims.Slatersteven (talk) 16:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject meets WP:GNG. There is an entry for him written by John Clute in the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction which is a standard reference work in the field.[75] The encyclopedia is now online but earlier editions appeared in print. There is also significant analytical coverage of his work in a completed, publicly available PhD thesis (the name 'Kratman' appears 40 times in the document) which is a usable source according to WP:SCHOLARSHIP.[76]

There is also enough "sustained critical attention" to make a good case for a keep based on WP:AUTHOR. His books with John Ringo (Watch on the Rhine, Yellow Eyes, and The Tuloriad) likely all meet WP:BOOK and have received reviews including a scathing one by Dietmar Dath in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.[77] Kratman's solo novels have also received a number of reviews, including a detailed critical one by perennial Hugo nominee Joseph T. Major: [78] (Alexiad, February 2009, pp. 3-4). There is also a printed article in the Big Issue in 2015 which discusses his work in context with other military science fiction authors. (Buchanan, Craig. "Sci-Fi Battlefields". The Big Issue, 16 April 2015. p. 30.) This is just for starters but it is enough to convince me of notability and that a decent policy-compliant article can be written. I don't, however, have the energy for yet another rescue project right now so I may not get around to this within the timeline of this AfD. Hopefully someone else does. But if this discussion is closed as delete then please do so without prejudice to a new properly sourced article being written. Haukur (talk) 13:33, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment One review of a book he co-authored with John Ringo in which he's mentioned exactly once, is hardly compelling. Fanzines aren't WP:RS per WP:UGC. Simonm223 (talk) 13:42, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The fanzine in question does not at all fall under WP:UGC which is about user-generated content like wikis or forums. Alexiad is basically a traditional publication with particular editors and bylines for its reviews. Haukur (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, in another AfD someone made a good point that arguments that a book satisfies [[WP:BOOK] make for WP:AUTHOR compliance is contrary to WP:INHERIT. Imadethisstupidaccount (talk) 13:45, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INHERIT specifically has an exemption for WP:AUTHOR where notability is indeed inherited in the sense the critical coverage of the works translates into notability for the author. Haukur (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I don't think that's the case. What is stated at WP:AUTHOR (and somewhat vaguely referenced at WP:INHERIT) is that great notability of the author may render their work notable (point 5 at WP:BKCRIT). I don't see the inverse case (notable book reflecting on notability of the author). Can you point that out? (NB, even if that was the case, we are nowhere near such a threshold through the coverage of Kratman's books.) --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd be happy to clarify. WP:INHERIT says that "four of the notability guidelines, for creative professions, books, films and music, do allow for inherited notability in certain circumstances". Note that WP:AUTHOR and WP:CREATIVE direct to the same thing and WP:INHERIT has a comment in the source text that says "See #3&#4". Part of #4 says "The person's work (or works) has: ... (c) won significant critical attention" and that is what I am referring to here. So, once we sort through the whole alphabet soup, the point is that authors inherit notability from "significant critical attention" to their works, e.g. book reviews and academic analysis. How much is 'significant' is left for us to decide but it should be decided in accordance with the present norms at AfD and we shouldn't apply a higher (or lower) bar here than we normally do. Haukur (talk) 14:39, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't disagree with your interpretation of policy. But I don't think Kratman has had anything close to significant critical attention. He has had some critical attention, but the biggest positive there seems to be reflected glory from John Ringo (who is certainly notable). And as such, I just don't think he meets the bar. Simonm223 (talk) 17:50, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After doing some research I think Simonm223's point here about reflected glory is very strong. Baen seems to have a pattern with those dual titles and specifically, tying them to John Ringo seems to be a tactic for both pumping up Ringo's yearly output by shifting the workload (5 with one undercard, 6 with that, 5 with another, 4 with that one, 3 with yet another, and so on) and letting the newcomer tag along on the coattails. In fact, of 78 books listed for Ringo at GoodReads, only 10 are credited to Ringo as sole author. I'm probably dating myself making this comparison but it's like a promoter giving a new wrestler a short tag team run with Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair when they can't generate notability or a fanbase on their own. 6YearsTillRetirement (talk) 22:04, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A question, if he is so notable and we have all these great sources, why does the article still reply on the self promotional ones? Why has no one tried to improve the sourceing?Slatersteven (talk) 13:19, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Because it's only been two days and there are many things to do. I agree the article needs work. I've been gathering sources and looking at how to summarize them but it takes time to get the ducks in a row. Haukur (talk) 13:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)A better question might be “If he is so non-notable, why has he been a focus of your user page for three years?”

Aside from that, of course, the rules on deletion are pretty clear: the state of the article is only relevant when it is so spectacularly bad that it creates an impediment to fixing it, and this piece is nowhere near the WP:TNT level. Qwirkle (talk) 13:41, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is clear that others disagree this is not beyond fixing. As to the rest, it was not me who deemed him notable, it was me finding the fact he found me notable risible.Slatersteven (talk) 13:48, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly for the same bad reason as yourself, by the look of it. If you can wander into a mainstream mass-market bookstore and see an author advertised by a lifesize cardboard cutout, odds are they are notable in some context. Qwirkle (talk) 17:23, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Haukur, needs the primary sources removed. Doug Weller talk 14:14, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- And for those watching on Facebook as we show them that once it can be shown that someone is notable by our criteria we won't delete their article, no, primary sources are not the gold standard.

Keep per sources found by Haukur. Also, I found and added his listing on the bestseller list of the Wall Street Journal.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:55, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Bestseller lists don't establish notability. And this is where there's a contrast to the MZW article (which I do think is notable). Kratman's reviews are just lacking. As in we have basically one that is unambiguously non-promotional and it's a review of a book which he co-authored with John Ringo. When dealing with works of art it's critical and artistic impact that matter, not number of copies sold. Now these two factors often come together. But in the case of Kratman who, as I've mentioned elsewhere, has spent much of his career as a blog troll, there's been no significant critical or artistic impact outside of the walled garden of Baen and the even more walled garden of Castalia House. Simonm223 (talk) 13:29, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, WP:BOOKCRIT: "The book has been the subject[1] of two or more non-trivial[2] published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself.[3] This can include published works in all forms, such as... bestseller lists [4](see footnote at BOOKCRIT - not all bestseller lists quality)". AUTHORS, of course, derive notability from creating notable books. In other words, bestseller listings sdo contribute to E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:21, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's leaning really hard on WP:INHERIT. Moreso than I'm comfortable with in the case of such an unaccomplished author. Simonm223 (talk) 14:23, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, let's be clear. It was one book, 8th most popular SF hardcover for one week on the WSJ sub-list a decade ago. This wasn't like it was NYT bestselling fiction all genres. Simonm223 (talk) 14:26, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is cumulative and this adds a smidgen of notability. That said, I took the trouble of contesting your sweeping assertion that "Bestseller lists don't establish notability." because editors, especially new editors, learn the ropes by hearing such rules in AfD discussions. It is necessary to be specific about which bestseller lists confer notability so as not to mislead fellow editors who may take a firm but inaccurate statement from an experienced editor as gospel.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:10, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a sneaking suspicion at the back of my mind that it was just this issue that brought me to Mr Kratmans page two years ago, the issue of whether or not an appearance in a niche and short duration best seller list is enough to confer notability (or something like that).Slatersteven (talk) 15:14, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

bestseller lists are "short duration" by definition. As a said, it confers a mere smidgen of notability. Notability here is relatively weak, supported by the sources cumulatively. Magic bullets are nice, but far more rare in real life than in genre novels.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:16, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Under the standards of notability used with respect of living writers then he's not notable. I think there is a discussion to be had about those standards - I don't think he's any less deserving of documentation than the myriad one term state senators from Arkansas ion the 1870s or episodes of 1990s TV shows, but this isn't the place to have that debate.Nickpheas (talk) 10:41, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update on book reviews. Here are the reviews of Kratman's books I know of so far: User:Haukurth/sandbox5. That's ten in all for his solo novels. Some of the sources are marginal but none is just a random guy with a random blog. Then there are 8 reviews for his work with Ringo. I feel it would be weird not to give Kratman some 'notability points' for those too. He's not a hidden ghostwriter but a fully credited co-author. Thomas Wagner notes in his review: "Tom Kratman (remember, in these kinds of "collaborations," the less famous guy does about 85% of the work) can string a sentence together and assemble a narrative thread that flows adequately". He then mentions Kratman 8 times in his review and Ringo only 2 times.[81] Haukur (talk) 16:40, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The article I created for this academic and author has been slated for discussion regarding possible deletion, due to an issue with notability guidelines. I have added his academic title, to address the second criterion noted, but do not know what is needed to address the first. He is the second half of a team that wrote the true crime book THE NEW EVIL, is responsible for co-developing a system for criminal classification which has wide implications for both academic and research fields, and has been covered in quite a number of places in the media outside of academia. This does not appear to be a situation in which an academic's work is only of relevance within his or her circles. Please let me know what is needed, as I may be able to provide the relevant information or citations.

Delete. Brucato's citation record on Google Scholar (highest citation count 36, h-index 6) is too slim to support a pass of WP:PROF#C1. And I could only support a pass of WP:AUTHOR if he had multiple books with multiple published reviews each. Here there only appears to be one newly published book, with a more-notable co-author (although the article tries to make it appear like there is more than one by going into some detail about a book that Brucato did not write). I did find a couple of acceptably-reliable reviews [82] [83] but I don't think it's enough. And the way this article is puffed up with minor details and even-more-minor sources makes me suspect promotion. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:33, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Brucato's h index, shown here, is higher than the minimum of 6: https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=56276336500

The widely-used gradations system created by Stone for The Anatomy of Evil was revamped with Brucato for The New Evil, and the two have made numerous media appearances together, as a team. Familiarity with the book would make this quite clear. SH8901 (talk) 06:52, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Other "acceptably reliable reviews" can be found at the bottom of the book's entry on the publisher's web site, given by eight prominent scientists and authors, and Publisher's Weekly: ^[1] SH8901 (talk) 07:01, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, regarding the statement about "making it appear there is more than one book," it should be noted that The New Evil is the SECOND VOLUME of the first book referenced. The contributions of the second book make little sense without explaining how it builds upon the first.

It appears that, if an entry for Brucato is not accepted, an entry about the book might be a simple solution, as that would not require the same rigor, unless I am mistaken. However, it may be the opinion here that no page at all is worthwhile. Perhaps the group can let me know.SH8901 (talk) 07:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As a final point, Criterion One states, "Criterion 1 can also be satisfied if the person has pioneered or developed a significant new concept, technique or idea, made a significant discovery or solved a major problem in their academic discipline." In the two Psychopharmacology articles given in the article, Brucato was the lead author, describing an entirely new model for psychosis and violence which is now the basis of a National Institute of Mental Health grant, which is described here: ^[2]

Perhaps you have misunderstood this process. There is a box that should appear in the upper right of this discussion page with pointers for newcomers. But: it is not a process where participants act as advocates or antagonists, putting forward the best face they can make in front of some impartial judge. We, the participants, are ourselves the judges, and are asked both to be impartial and to neutrally evaluate how well the subject fits our notability processes. If you cannot be impartial, your participation is more likely to be detrimental than positive for the case (see my earlier remark about promotionalism). It is even less a process where we come in already having decided that the subject should have an article and try to twist our notability guidelines to fit. If the subject is not notable, he is not notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:14, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My question for the group is whether the scale included in the book should simply have its own entry. Are there notability requirements for pages about systems of psychological or criminal categorization? This is what made putting the article together interesting.

This article has been through PROD, but never AFD. There is very limited evidence of notability here, and the article has been tagged with notability concerns for 5 years. According to Scopus, his h-index is 26, which is decent for a youngish professor at a major research university, but definitely does not establish notability by WP:PROF. According to this Wiki article, one of the claims that supposedly establishes his notability is that he was on a Science paper (but he was in fact only third author of four), and that he has won a handful of minor, non-notable awards.
