Another promo feature by Ziggy 2milli constructed from search engine dribs and drabs. In a dazzling departure from convention, moved into mainspace not with the usual revealing "I want it it to show on Google", but with "This article has independent sources and also sources that clearly talks about it." Let's have a look:

In other words, the editor still has no idea what constitutes sufficient biographical coverage, and continues to throw out what appear to be commissioned advertorials, hoping that one sticks. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:55, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The way you are going - horking up one abysmally sourced promo feature after the other - I'd honestly settle for you to just stop. You do not seem to take anything on board from the numerous deletion discussions that your articles have engendered so far. - As for your role model articles, the sourcing of Christopher Shale is miles above anything you have ever provided (and if you can't see the difference that's an obvious problem), and some of the others (especially Victor AD) might well have to come in for some additional scrutiny. If you aim for the lowest acceptable standard, you are bound to run into issues. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 16:29, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Broad ranging sustained coverage in highly reliable sources. Aoziwe (talk) 10:04, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's impressive research, but please note we need in-depth coverage. What you have shown is that the subject is mentioned in passing in few literary pieces. Your first set of links seems to be about an "Essay by Larissa Hjorth." That essay is not even about the bar, it mentions it in passing (in a single sentence of the poem-essay, it mentions the bar: "Memory has left a Choo-choo bar flavour in her mouth." [15] mentions in the subject in passing, just listing it with some other products; it is not even clear if the subject is considered to be really important or if it is a joke. That the candy bar is displayed in a museum [16] to illustrate, among with a bunch of other products, sample "Plaistowe's confectionery, October 1972", is not that helpful - the company that makes it may be notable, but the bar is not. If the bar is notable than it itself would be the subject of the exhibition. Not everything in museums is uniquely notable. And all of your other mentions are similar mentions in passing. To quote from one: "The request evoked a lot of memories: of'old-fashioned fruit and nut chocolate", a penchant for "chewers rather than suck ers", "four-a-penny aniseed balls, Choo Choo Bars which made your tongue go dark blue, Fan tales which rip out a filling in one bite" and "Jaffas, especially at the pictures when the old Capitol at Manuka had wooden floors"." I am sorry, but Choo Choo bar seems no more notable than concepts of ear sucking, aniseed balls, and such, and likely less so as at least those are more generalized concepts, but it is just a single product. Bottom line, your list of refs is impressive, but they all fail as they are not in-depth. Sorry, but that's as good as a google-hit count confirming that the subject exists. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:48, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am not aware that any one reference or any reference has to be in-depth. Notability and verifiabilty just require that sufficient independent reliable material exists so that a sufficiently in-depth article can be written. The above demonstrates that a sufficiently in-depth article can be written. Aoziwe (talk) 11:55, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:GNG. In-depth means significant. None of the refs you provided is a significant treatment of the topic, in fact they all fall square under passing (trivial) mentions. How are we supposed to use the fiction-line that some character felt "a Choo-choo bar flavour in her mouth" as a source for this article? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:16, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is a perfect reference for use in a section such as "In literature'. It also indicates a cultural focal point used by an author. Aoziwe (talk) 10:46, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I also suggest that they are not passing mentions, brief certainly, but the authors have gone to specific effort to refer to the subject, and to actually make a point using the subject. Aoziwe (talk) 10:49, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's hardly perfect WP:OR (to say that the subject has cultural significance; no source says this) or at least the use of WP:PRIMARY (to say that the subject has been mentioned in a single literary work). It's one thing if the poem or essay would be about the subject. But it isn't, the subject is just mention in passing. How more in passing can you get? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on Aoziwe's research. SportingFlyer T·C 15:42, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

      • Not all of them, but keep in mind they did post a link showing a number of mentions in reliable Australian newspapers just in this decade alone, which I couldn't find in my before search. SportingFlyer T·C 08:30, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries by population (United Nations)[edit]

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

The United Nations website has a strict copyright which does not allow for redistribution, so this article as it stands is almost certainly a WP:G12 violation if reproduced from the website linked at the bottom of the article. However, I've gone to AfD instead of speedying it instead because I cannot figure out exactly where the data has been sourced from. The external links bring up spreadsheets rounded off to the nearest thousand, inconsistent with the article here, so I figured I'd AfD and get a few eyeballs on this in case nothing is actually amiss.

  • @Icewhiz: I completely agree. I sent this to AfD since the source presented in the article - listed here [17] - doesn't match the table. I can't G12 a file if I can't find the source, and if the source can't be found that's another problem that I see as potentially deletable. But since one of the notes says, The UN source document states: For statistical purposes, the data for China do not include Special Administrative Regions (SAR) of China (Hong Kong and Macao) and Taiwan Province of China., this probably runs afoul of the UN copyright regardless.

  • The projections use the "medium fertility" scenario here. SportingFlyer T·C 21:24, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The issue per the other AfD are complex long-term forecasts that require a high degree of "creativity" in making. These are current estimates of populations in which the level of "creativity" in forecasting is much reduced. For example, GDP requires assumptions to estimate (hence why it is re-calculated so many times in teh following years), but WP tables of GDP data does not violate COPYVIO. Britishfinance (talk) 22:17, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately, they use the same methodology for all data sets under a restrictive license. There's still "creativity" involved here. SportingFlyer T·C 20:47, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I'm not convinced that WP:G12 applies – I don't think this article meets the standard of blatant or unambiguous infringement. What's been copied here is not text in the usual sense, but a selection of data – essentially two columns from a spreadsheet that contains 800+ columns of data. That brings up two issues. First, WP:COPYVIO does not make it explicitly clear that data and factual information should be treated in exactly the same way as any other original written content. The omission is potentially significant, because data and compilations of data don't always receive the same standards of copyright protection as other creative works. Second, even if we assume that there's no difference between data and written material for the purposes of meeting Wikipedia's copyright policies, copying of properly cited "brief verbatim textual excerpts from copyrighted media" is allowed if the ten WP:NFCCP criteria are met. And I think those criteria are met here. I think the best way forward is to raise the issue at Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Cobblet (talk) 22:56, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While Thomas E. Caldecott was not a state politician, he was a Mayor of Berkeley who received statewide recognition for his leadership role in getting the major highway tunnel in the San Francisco Bay Area which was subsequently named for him constructed. The naming of the Caldecott Tunnel alone demonstrates the public recognition of notability. WP:POLOUTCOMES This is significant not just historically, but also contemporarily given the major status of this tunnel regionally and as a key link in the statewide highway system.

Comment - I’m sorry, am I misinterpreting WP:POLITICIAN where it states that; “…The following are presumed to be notable:•Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature.[12] This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them". Appreciate showing me where I am wrong. Every day is a learning experience. No snarky remarks meant here. ShoesssS Talk 17:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of political experience. His son, Thomas William Caldicott, meets the standards of WP:NPOL by virtue of serving in the California state assembly, but Thomas E. Caldicott did not hold a statewide office or serve in a state legislature. Best, GPL93 (talk) 17:40, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Caldecott never served in the state legislature. His son did. Bearcat (talk) 19:03, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The highest office this person held is mayor of a midsized city — which means that he could have an article if he could be referenced well enough to clear WP:NPOL #2 ("major local political figures who have received significant press coverage"), but it isn't a strong enough notability claim to guarantee him an article in the absence of solid sourcing. Mayors are no longer automatically presumed notable just because the city they were mayor of eventually surpassed an arbitrary population cutoff — the notability test for a mayor is the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political impact, not just the ability to verify the names of his wife and kids, so one obituary in the local newspaper upon his death is not enough sourcing to get a mayor over the bar all by itself. Bearcat (talk) 19:03, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just that he was Mayor of the City of Berkeley. Strictly speaking, it isn't even that he was a politican at all, but that he was a key person involved with the construction of a major highway tunnel who recieved recognition for that fact from the State of California. Sourcing that notability is not a problem that can't be addressed without resorting to the drastic step of article deletion. Tmangray (talk) 19:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Having a piece of transportation infrastructure named after him is not an automatic notability freebie for a mayor either — at least half, if not more, of everybody who was ever mayor of anywhere at all has had something (a building, a street, a bridge, etc.) named after them somewhere, so that being true here isn't a free exemption from having to have enough coverage to clear NPOL #2. If better sources exist to get him over NPOL #2, then by all means bring 'em on — but mayors aren't automatically exempted from having to show more sourcing than this just because they had stuff named after them, and they aren't kept just because somebody says better sources exist that haven't been shown. The inclusion test for a mayor has far less to do with the things the article says than it has to do with the quality and depth and volume of the referencing that's present to support the things the article says. Bearcat (talk) 20:35, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm not weighing in on whether to delete or keep this article, but Bearcat, it should be noted that Mayor of Berkeley is actually this person's second-highest office. This person's highest office was as a member of the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. That being said, it doesn't change the standards of notability that apply. Your arguments (and Tmangray's arguments) are unchanged substantively even when swapping the word "mayor" for "county supervisor" instead. OCNative (talk) 09:03, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article" WP:NEXIST Tmangray (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The key to making that a compelling argument in an AFD discussion is not just to say it. We don't keep badly sourced articles just because somebody idly speculates that the necessary depth of sourcing might exist to get him over the bar — NEXIST only comes into play if somebody shows hard evidence that the necessary depth of sourcing definitely does exist. If nobody shows the actual results of an actual search for sources, then we do not keep a poorly sourced article just because somebody tried to invoke NEXIST — turning the tide requires you to actually show evidence that enough better sources do exist to get him over the bar. And no, CDOT's own internal corporate newsletter about its own internal affairs is not the kind of sourcing we're looking for either. Bearcat (talk) 16:59, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in a matter of minutes I managed to drum up two interesting sources for this individual--not bad for someone born in 1878. There may be some editing issues that need to take place, but I see no reason not to assume good faith that the content of the article is accurate at this point. It appears to be an article worth some attention and the individual seems to have had an impact on politics and the roads in California. Notability speaks to WP:IMPACT and the breadth of independent sources have provided significant coverage of the individual, in my eyes enough to pass WP:GNG so there it is.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:52, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
People get notable by having media coverage in newspapers, not by getting covered in corporate or organizational newsletters or named in transcripts of legislative speeches. There's still not a single GNG-eligible source being cited here at all except the obituary. Bearcat (talk) 17:12, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Newspapers are not the only source: books, television, radio, legitimate online news services... just to name a few. WP:GNG states "Sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." And WP:PUBLISHED states that the source may only need be a "reputable party". The two sources I added are both reputable and objective. It would be nice if a local researcher would look into offline sources for additional impact, but at this point I don't see that as necessary because I believe WP:GNG has been achieved from the sources in the article and others found in basic searches.--Paul McDonald (talk) 18:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have added more sources (yes, newspapers, as well as a book). There are plenty of secondary sources, and it is clear from articles in 1937, 1951 and 1960 that he was acknowledged as "the man responsible for the success" of the Broadway Low Level Tunnel project. It was a major project, with a very large cost for the time, and the original contractors were unable to complete it so it had to be retendered - this is in the sources I have added, though I did not add that information to this article, assuming it would be in the tunnel article (though I see that it's not). That is why he is described as having fought for it, championed it, put untiring effort into it, etc. I don't have access to all newspapers, eg not the Berkeley Gazette, otherwise I would add inline citations to the obituary it published. I think there is enough for him to meet WP:BASIC, but if the article is not kept, I would recommend merging to Caldecott Tunnel, so that his role in its construction is recognised.

Onel5969, The community could have decided to restore the redirect without going to AfD. I'm assuming good faith, but at the same time, there's no need to waste editor time discussing deletion and reviewing existing coverage when the redirect serves a purpose and can simply be restored. I'd prefer to see this nomination withdrawn, but that's your choice. If the page is deleted altogether, we'll still need to recreate Plastique Tiara to redirect readers to the season 11 article. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:03, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Another Believer - My AGF comment was in respect to your assumption that I ignored your beginning a discussion on the talk page, and simply went straight to AfD. That wasn't the case. In regards to the talk page discussion, it's been my experience that regarding notability, those types of discussions are a waste of time, since you get a very limited number of editors who participate in them, and many of them have "skin in the game" regarding notability. Especially on an article which has had to be protected due to recreation in the past. This way, uninvolved editors will get a chance to take a look, and participate in the discussion if they choose to do so. Regardless, as I said on the talk page, thanks for all your tremendous efforts for the project.Onel5969 TT me 14:16, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Onel5969, Thanks for clarifying and for your kind words. Are you against restoring the redirect? If not, are you willing to withdraw the nom and we can simply enforce the redirect?

Onel5969, Ok, I did not know that was a rule. If an admin is reading this and is willing to speedy close this discussion and simply restore the redirect, I think that's best.

Keep This person is 100% notable. period. First of all she has almost 3/4 of a million followers, which should automatically count as being a notable person. second she has connections with other more famous people outside of Drag Race (Tyra, James, Patrick) and third, she's going to get the page anyway when the season gets deeper and deeper, so its a waste of time to do all of this and just leave the page alone.

  • Cascadia2000, I appreciate your interest and passion when it comes to adding content to WP. Unfortunately, the reasons you've listed for keeping the article do not satisfy GNG. Follower counts and being connected to famous people (see WP:INHERITED) do not establish notability. I do agree she'll eventually become notable, which is why I support a redirect over deletion. --Kbabej (talk) 14:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The inherited argument is invalid because that means she's only notable from being associated with A famous person, when she's actually associated with Multiple famous people.

  • Delete/redirect Every contestant on a major reality show will receive coverage related to that, but that alone does not establish notability and I do not see substantive sources outside of routine coverage of the latest season. Reywas92Talk 23:57, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to the season article. Every contestant on a reality show always receives some coverage in that context, but the winner of the reality show is the only one who gets to be considered notable because of the reality show per se — a non-winning contestant can still go on to clear the notability bar for other reasons after the show is over (e.g. Jennifer Hudson is not getting deleted just because she didn't win American Idol when she was on it, because she's done other notable stuff since being on American Idol), but the reality-show coverage is not notability-making coverage in and of itself. And the number of followers a person has on social media is not relevant to our notability criteria either: a person with ten million social media followers is still non-notable if their social media following hasn't translated into receiving reliable source coverage in real media in a noteworthy context, and a person with zero social media followers (e.g. a politician who died before social media was even a thing) is still notable if they do get the correct kind of coverage in real media. Redirect for now; she can be recreated if Ru crowns her the winner in the end and/or she accomplishes something new after the show ends that changes the notability equation, but simply being able to show some RPDR-specific coverage is not enough in and of itself. As it stands, even the RPDR-specific sourcing shown here largely isn't actually reliable or notability-supporting anyway: We the Unicorns, YouTube, Saigoneer, Dragstardiva, Distractify and Gold Derby, for example, are total non-starters in terms of ever establishing the notability of anything or anyone on here, and even the ones that are reliable sources (e.g. Billboard) are mostly just covering all of the Season 11 girls as a group, rather than speaking to Plastique's standalone notability as an individual.

  • To comment, she has won the two major pink film fan awards, the Pink Grand Prix for Best Actress, for her work in two separate and arguably notable films, since the films have alright coverage. This makes it is easy to argue she fits the bill for both #1 and #2 of WP:ENT. They are "has had significant roles in multiple notable films," and "has a large fan base or a significant 'cult' following." That said, to meet WP:GNG, the English coverage on her is absolutely awful. I could find essentially nothing, searching for both her common names. I can't help but think she must have some fantastic Japanese coverage somewhere, and I feel uneasy recommending delete unless that avenue of research has been somewhat explored by an editor with such a knack.

Her major awards (i.e. Best Actress), for Japan's biggest porn awards, seems like the proverbial "elephant in the room", that is being dismissed at this AfD, because it gets in the way of "can't find any en-RS". My understanding of AfD, is that we are "obliged" to look for foreign language RS for foreign language cases? I am not sure that anybody above has done this for Japanese script. A Best Actress for a major western porn award (e.g. AVN Award), would have RS for a GNG (winners of lesser AVN Awards may not). She could have lots of Japanese-RS? I am not convinced that we are trying to get the right outcome here and give this BLP a proper hearing?

I have not felt comfortable about this article for a long time, and have described it as "like a Daily Mail gossip piece that has no place on an encyclopedia". I'm a longtime Beatles fan but I find the whole article creepy and intrusive, with excessive personal detail. Although it is assessed as a GA, and it (at least superficially) seems to be covered by reliable sources, it deals with two people who are not notable in their own right, and never particularly wanted to be, and the entire prose talks about two people without mentioning anything important or significant about them specifically, which every other notable biography does. The problem is, that Beatles biographies cover just about everything remotely connected to the group, so it's possible to build up a reliably sourced document of these people, without considering the due weight in the sources; which only cover them in the context of their children. Of the main sources used, I am not a fan of Barry Miles' book, which seems to be far too pro-Paul McCartney to be considered reliable and authoritative. I don't know much about Bob Spitz, but reviews suggest he brings a fresh view to the proceedings, which in turns suggests he probably shouldn't be cited excessively without another source to hand.

The article was recently reassessed for GA, with several editors complaining that the article wasn't a suitable topic for Wikipedia, full stop.

  • Strong Delete I just want to point out to other people—for some reason this was lost in translation—that I wasn’t trying to delete via GA reassessment (I don’t even know why that has to be explained), I was simply trying to get this piece of trash delisted from GA status and pointed out that none of these sources, if you could even call them that, in the article contribute to independent notability. I would have settled for merging then, but these people just aren’t relevant enough to have that much space to begin with. They aren’t royalty. Their family history and backgrounds are simply not important by association. They never contributed anything themselves to popular culture worth having every sneeze, cough, and meal documented in this unprofessional manner. Trillfendi (talk) 19:21, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I agree with the nominator here – these people are not notable; their son is. It's nearly entirely sourced to two biographies of Paul McCartney. It's typical for book-length biographies to also cover the subject's close relatives but that doesn't mean they're notable too unless people decide to do scholarship on them specifically. Anything important about the two is with respect to Paul, and this becomes undue weight to have so much detail about his childhood and relationship – That's what the long booksare for, and Wikipedia's purpose is not to copy everything the books' authors want to mention. (To comment on Trillfendi's phrasing: Royalty aren't automatically notable either, they still require substantive dedicated sources to have their own articles too!)Reywas92Talk 19:24, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I closed the Good Article reassessment. It wasn't so much a procedural closing as one that ignored the notability objections (I still took into account the sourcing and copyvio concerns). It just happened that most of the discussion focused on the notability.

Arguably the only other person in that family who has developed their own independent notability without question is Stella. As far as I’m concerned the rest can go too, especially James McCartney who literally relies on Daily Mail (last I checked that website was banned on here) “articles” and Beatles fan blogs. The more things change the more they stay the same, I guess. Trillfendi (talk) 06:00, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
James should redirect to his dad's article.

Nothing you just said is true or backed up with any evidence. Well, apart from this being the second AfD, which is irrelevant. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:47, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I don't understand the hostility towards this article. It doesn't read at all like a "Daily Mail gossip piece" to me and even if it did, that's not a valid basis for deletion. As for "creepy and instrusive"... intrusive to whom? The subjects have been dead for decades. As I said at the GA reassessment, it is not true, as Trillendi keeps saying, that the sourcing is poor - it is primarily based on two Beatles biographies by respected authors (Spitz and Miles) and established mainstream publishers (I disagree with Ritchie's doubting of their reliability). In any case, there are other quality sources available, such as Mark Lewisohn's Tune in, which could be used instead. WP:INHERITED says, "Individuals in close, personal relationships with famous people can have an independent article even if they are known solely for such a relationship, but only if they pass WP:GNG", and GNG is clearly met here due to the level of attention from reliable sources that the Beatles naturally attract.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:33, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Joe never drank alcohol, went to bed at 10 o'clock every night, and the only swear word he used was "Jaysus". Florrie was known as "Granny Mac" in the neighbourhood and was often consulted when families had problems" What on earth is encyclopedic about that? I've read Barry Miles' book all the way through and the pro-McCartney anti-Lennon / Harrison rewriting of history is staggering, particularly where he nitpicks exactly who wrote what Lennon / McCartney credited song. This is why it's barely used on Abbey Road, which I had a large hand in improving to GA. And it's a general notability guideline, not absolute rule - in relative terms, the coverage in sources is "trivial, passing mentions". Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:44, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Poor writing or unencyclopedic language should just be removed or re-written - it is not a reason to delete the entire article. And there are many sources that cover Jim and Mary McCartney in depth - not "trivial or passing" mentions.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 16:09, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I totally agree with the nominator's reasoning – the whole article just reads like an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?... interesting titbits for anyone interested in the subject matter, but fundamentally, the only interest comes from them being related to a celebrity. The subjects are not individually notable at all, their notability is entirely WP:INHERITED from being the parents of their famous sons. Or, to put it another way... would they qualify for a Wikipedia article if their sons hadn't obtained a measure of notability? I can't see how this passes WP:GNG, as the subject for the sources used in the article is Paul McCartney, not his parents. Of course there are reliable sources in existence, being as one of their sons became internationally famous, and any decent biography needs to talk about its subject's background and childhood, but it doesn't make the parents famous if they are mentioned in biographies about their children – the only thing I can see that could possibly count towards their own individual notability is Jim writing a couple of songs that Paul later recorded... and even then, he only recorded them because it was his own father (would they have made it onto record any other way?), and they only made it onto a deluxe CD package of outtakes released more than twenty years later. The argument that "unencyclopedic language should just be removed" – well, almost everything I can see in the article is unencyclopedic, and therefore the arguments for WP:SPINOUT don't apply either, because what would be left are just a few lines which are already included in Paul McCartney#Early life anyway. I don't see a redirect as a solution because Paul McCartney's children James and Mary are probably better known now to the public than his parents, and therefore the more likely search targets – I cannot see a situation where someone would be looking for either Jim or Mary McCartney that wasn't in connection with their son's childhood, instead of for them personally. Richard3120 (talk) 18:32, 14 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per above discussion. Mary alone, being the inspiration of the words and the song "Let It Be", has sufficient notability. The page is well sourced (note that the nomination itself calls for more sources when, in actuality in this case, sources are abundant, establishing notability). Randy Kryn (talk) 10:10, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A person isn't notable simply for being "an inspiration" for a song, surely... there are many, many examples throughout musical history of songs written about family members or friends, and it doesn't make all those people notable. Richard3120 (talk) 12:56, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete since notability isn't inherited and neither are noted for anything of their own merit (meaning something that doesn't have to do with family affiliations). They fail WP:BIO miserably, and most if not all of the quality sources that do mention them are more about their Beatle son Paul. There's also WP:NOTGENEALOGY to take into account, which says "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic". That most certainly isn't the case here, especially with superfluous things like "Joe never drank alcohol, went to bed at 10 o'clock every night, and the only swear word he used was 'Jaysus'. Florrie was known as 'Granny Mac' in the neighbourhood and was often consulted when families had problems" and excessive detail moving from house to house. Pretty much everything of encyclopedic value is already included in son Paul McCartney's article. We're not supposed to be a Beatles/McCartney fan site. Editors are often overly lenient with keeping articles on family members of famous people. Let's help reduce that by getting rid of unwarranted pages like this one. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 05:22, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per WP:SPINOFF, as well as being well sourced, and having already survived one AfD nomination with good arguments that should be taken into consideration for this nomination. I agree there is an abundance of trivial/fan cruft, but feel the solution is paring down content (indeed, there is lots of junk here) rather than outright deletion. Yeah, I get the WP:INHERIT arguments, but consider the intrinsic value of wikipedia by providing articles that assuage a wider public curiosity that comes with one of the most famous persons in the world. Including deep detail on family lineage and parents in the McCartney article would make it unwieldily, so this spin off is appropriate. It’s kind of the same reason we have a separate article on Abraham Lincoln’s mother, who was equally unremarkable on her own. ShelbyMarion (talk) 17:20, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Why does everyone assert that Barry Miles' totally biased book is "well sourced" without any evidence? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:32, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was published by Henry Holt Co., a reputable publisher. That's all one can really go on in distinguishing it as a reliable source as opposed to, say, information taken from a fan blog. But even if that single source is problematic, certainly the Lewisohn book can be referenced in an effort to improve the article. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:21, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know anything about Miles's book's POV, but this idea the article is "well-sourced" (here and above) and that that means it should be kept is nonsense. Basically everything relating to Jim and Mary is based only on the Miles and Spitz biographies of Paul; every one of the website sources is a citation to an unrelated fact. [19] cites what Jim's company did. [20] cites what happened in the air raids during WWII. [21] mentions that Paul once used his father's guitar (without even mentioning Jim by name). Six are merely links to Google Maps of mentioned addresses. This article is a prime example of a WP:REFBOMB. Cut your laughable OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Nancy Lincoln is discussed in a much wider range of sources and even has some commemorations and places named for her. Reywas92Talk 20:37, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How is a book written WITH the subject of it (Paul) an independent source? This is the bs I was talking about. The fact is, there are no reliable sources on these people. Trillfendi (talk) 21:19, 18 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"They were the band the Beatles could have been!"
I haven't read Miles' book, but if that features Paul's comments on his own parents, then it most definitely is too closely affiliated with Jim and Mary to be considered an independent source. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:17, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In a nutshell, it's Paul discussing his years in the Beatles and devoting a surprising amount of time to what proportion of what song he thought he wrote, including trying to take most of the credit for "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the grounds that he was socialising in the West End, checking out avant garde experimental groups, while John was married with a child in the commuter belt. Wings is reduced to about two pages in the entire book (which probably upsets Alan Partridge). His parents don't get much of a mention, relatively speaking. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:33, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've not read the Miles biography, but my issue here is that if we are going to allow Wikipedia articles for people who clearly aren't notable in their own right, but simply based on the fact they have been mentioned in two or more reliable sources, it's going to open up Wikipedia to biographies of a lot of non-notable people. Presumably we could now create stub articles on the parents of David Bowie or Elton John, based on the multiple biographies that have been written about them? Or perhaps Bowie's half-brother, given that there are at least two Wikipedia articles about songs that refer to him? It wouldn't even have to be a person related to anyone famous – I'm a keen genealogist, and I can think of at least two people on my family tree that would pass the criteria of having been mentioned in multiple reliable, independent sources (newspapers, books), without actually having done anything at all of note to the general public. Saying that there is a public curiosity with family members connected to famous artists is not provable, and sounds like a WP:INTERESTING argument to me. Richard3120 (talk) 14:07, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:INTERESTING is quite a poor argument for keeping, and even if the book by Miles can be seemed trustworthy, it doesn't count towards notability as their son and his comments are too closely affiliated with them to be an independent source. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 12:07, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Fascinating AfD and very good nom. This article (and other Beatles-linked fan articles) have no long-term future on WP. The !votes of this AfD versus the last is in keeping with the Beatles' slowly fading mega-notability. However, unlike lesser cases on WP (whose linked articles get deleted faster as WP:FANCRUFT), the still mega-notability of the Beatles gives a halo of protection. This couple is chronicled (and not just a passing mention) in many Beatles/Paul McCartney books and "technical" WP:GNG arguments can be made (I have seen worse on AfD). Given the Beatles still mega-notability, it is fair to give readers access to such an article. "No consensus" will be a fair outcome here, but their inevitable "delete-day" will ultimately approach.

The books are about Paul McCartney and the Beatles for crying out loud—NOT Jim and Mary McCartney! Who are simply biographical details. Supporting characters in Paul McCartney’s life story. Use common sense. Trillfendi (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While I do agree that books focusing on Paul don't really count towards notability on his parents, Trillfendi, I should point out that the so-called "common sense" isn't very common given the wide diversity of people's individual perceptions and senses. That term is therefore a meaningless argument and it's better to instead just focus more on your rationale for why the article is unwarranted or how its referencing is insufficient. See WP:Common sense is not common for more. Telling someone "use common sense" or that something should be done "per common sense" also isn't saying much when those phrases incorrectly presume that the general public shares your senses and thought processes, even if they agree with your stances on certain matters. Something to keep in mind. Anyway, I personally doubt anyone could find a solid independent source (not based on comments from relatives or close friends) that specifically focuses on Jim or Mary as their own people. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 02:58, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Common sense in the obvious context tells you that books about Paul McCartney and / or the Beatles are not books about his parents and notability is not derived from there—because they are not independently notable. If this were the case then why don't Jimi Hendrix's parents have an article? Quincy Jones? Madonna? Outside of said books the only thing people could manage to "find" were from websites called goddammit "magicbeatlestours", "classicbands", "beatlesireland", etc. Google Maps images of their house? Who does that??? There are no actual profiles on these people from independent, reliable music sources because no one would even know they existed had Paul McCartney not become a star. This is absolutely ridiculous. Trillfendi (talk) 00:10, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with this article is to understand the reasons why it should be deleted takes time, effort and an understanding of the subject matter. This is why the opening nomination had to be as good as I would get it, otherwise I'd just get a bunch of drive by nominators saying "keep - lots of sources" without really assessing the situation. I guess that we haven't had so many of those is a step in the right direction. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:38, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The Mile's book and blogs seems to be a major sticking point because of this article's reliance on them as a sources for more about 80% percent of it's content. Since Wikipedia's mantra is to try to improve an article prior to deletion, if an editor wants to do the work (not me!) then perhaps references can be taken from the following reliable publisher sources which contain deep research on the McCartney Family that are independent of the son's involvement:
Lewisohn, Mark, Tune In: The Beatles: All These Years, Vol. 1 Little, Brown and Company
Norman, Philip, Shout!: The Beatles in their Generation Simon and Shuster
plus the aforementioned Spitz book:
Spitz, Bob, The Beatles: The Biography Little, Brown and Company ShelbyMarion (talk) 00:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe Spitz's book really has anything to add. The McCartney family is documented on pages 60 - 63 but the prose that could be used to cite facts is basically restricted to Jim's amateur music career, which could be reasonably condensed into a few sentences in Paul's article. I haven't read Philip Norman's book for a while, but it's very old (the group were still musically active when it was written) which is both good for contemporary reporting and bad for not knowing about stuff that didn't fall out of the woodwork until a lot later. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:49, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I believe you are confusing Philip Norman with Hunter Davies, who published the Beatles "authorized" bio in 1968; Philip Norman's book was after Lennon's death. (He also published a full length Paul bio. It could probably be used as a potential source, but I don't think it shed any new light above the deeper, superior research published by Lewisohn, especially regarding the McCartney family genealogy. FWIW, Neither the Hunter Davis book or the Beatles own Anthology project should be used as references; they suffer the same "too close to the source" flaw as the Miles book.)

  • Comment Since y’all wanna get mad at me for pointing out that this "article" relies on egregious, dreadful secondary "sources" such as Beatles fan blogs, Google Maps, or just plain dead links. Out of the 82 citations of this article, over 50 came from a book about Paul McCartney so that leaves examples including:
  1. 62-year-old Jim was earning £10 a week in 1964 (equivalent to £200 in 2018), but Paul suggested that his father should retire, and bought "Rembrandt"; a detached mock-Tudor house in Baskervyle Road, Heswall, Cheshire, for £8,750 (equivalent to £174,200 in 2018). the "source" for a smattering of photos is "magicbeatlestours.com"
  2. Ruth remembered that Jim was funny and musical with her, but also strict when she was young, and was insistent that she learned good table manners and etiquette when speaking to people. the "source" for this irrelevant trivia is "classicbands.com"
  3. His two sons were the first in the McCartney family line to buy cars. the "source" of this irrelevant trivia from an archived link of liverpoolmuseums.org.uk and the article isn’t even about that, for crying out loud, it’s about Mike’s photography hobby.
  4. Jim advised Paul to take some music lessons, which he did, but soon realised that he preferred to learn 'by ear' (as his father had done) and because he never paid attention in music classes. the "source" of this is a "femalefirst.co.uk" blurb that makes no mention of Jim nor Mary.
The entire marriage section is a directory of addresses with no respect to privacy. So indeed, take the "reputably published" books about Paul McCartney away from this and you are left with nothing. Trillfendi (talk) 01:18, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • Like the incredibly WP:USEFUL "Jim avidly read the Liverpool Echo or Express, liked solving crosswords and instigated discussions about varied subjects." and "As Jim was a heavy smoker, Jim would first dry and then crush sprigs of Lavender and then burn them (like incense) in the ashtrays to kill the smell of his cigarette smoke."? The only thing useful about this would be "Paul McCartney's parents were Jim and Mary", or whatever would fit into Paul_McCartney#Early_life, Mr. McCartney.

You Beatles fans need to take the strawberry colored glasses off. Be realistic! What "better sources" even exist about these people? Literally unknown except the fact that "they were Paul McCartney's parents". What do you legitimately think you're going to find? Everything about them comes from biographical books written about their son for God's sake. There are no Rolling Stone articles on these people. There are no 60 Minutes interviews with them.

  • Merge good bits to Paul McCartney#Early life then delete: Agree with nom. Article goes into many odd and peculiar details about the lives of this couple, a couple that was never notable in their own right. These details are great in a niche book dedicated to the topic, but not for Wikipedia's general audience. Having not read McCartney's article, I do think there is some interesting background here to Paul's life that deserves mention in his article if not already there, and should be merged.

For WP:BLP1E. Not that it matters but the article’s neutrality issues also neglect to mention the documentary she participated in such as VH1’s Rock Docs Let’s Spend the Night Together a decade ago where she boasted to Pamela Des Barres about “so many great memories” regarding her groupie days with Page et al. She’s never even called the men rapists as she says she consented during the alleged encounters. Gotta give both sides. The fact remains that this rumor/allegation has never been verified independently or the alleged artists never confirmed their side of the story. Her only “notability” is being a groupie 40 years ago (not notable unless you do actually do something with it) and being tracked down by #MeToo to relitigate. Outside of this allegation, absolutely nothing can be found about her life, so this article isn’t even her biography. What it comes down to is notability is not inherited.

  • Strong keep, I think there are a few problems with deletion request. First, the "gotta give both sides" issue mentioned above can be fixed by including the above-mentioned source; deletion is not required to solve this problem.
    Second, the issue of "she didn't refer to it as rape" isn't really a side left out of the discussion because the article only discusses the legal analysis of the rape. Statutory rape, in the United States, does not factor in the victim's perception of the events or whether nominal consent was given. Therefore, Ms. Mattix's perception of the events, and her claims that she consented have no bearing on whether statutory rape occurred. This would obviously be very different if forcible rape were being alleged, but it is not.
    Third, the WP:BLP1E page allows articles for people who are famous for one reason IF the reason for which they are famous is independently notable. I think the Me Too movement is big enough to be considered notable on its own. The page says that an individual's article may be protected from deletion "because the single event [s]he was associated with...was significant."
    Fourth, there are twenty-nine other articles in the Category:Groupies category that have not been deleted so I think it would be inconsistent to delete one when so many others remain. Et0048 (talk) 18:35, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Et0048: I know that "gotta give both sides" aspect isn't relevant to deletion itself. I just think the article has a biased agenda.
A lot of the "groupies" in that category already had their own notability for an article (Luciana Gimenez is tv host and model in Brazil and had a career long before she got pregnant by Mick Jagger. Bebe Buell was already a model and a singer before getting pregnant by Steven Tyler. Pamela Des Barres became an author and media personality, so she isn't just famous for being a groupie anymore. Cynthia Plaster Caster is the subject of a song by Kiss and the subject of a doctumentary and made an art career out of her collections. Margaret Moser became a journalist for crying out loud.) No need to group anyone together because this AfD is for this person. This is a case by case basis.
Having a sexual misconduct allegation is not automatic notability even if the movement has grown. MeToo doesn't grant notability, unless actions happen from it. And certainly this event doesn't grand that because it's not like she came out and said "MeToo", if anything this it was whataboutism from social media users as the article says. Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, nor the late David Bowie never were arrested or investigated for these allegations. It's nothing more than gossip with no evidence.

  • Strong keep, it needs more elaboration and to be expanded, the subjects on the article have deep cultural relevance; I assume we all know that -leaving aside details- all this was real; The fact that the people involved never were arrested and that society at the time seemed not to care for the things mentioned on it are a key point to note; this is not just about Mattix but something way bigger--Agustin6 (talk) 01:03, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Listen to what you just said. Trillfendi (talk) 02:28, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Trillfendi There is an Iggy Pop lyric where he literally says he had a relation with one of the baby groupies when she was 13 years old, and there is a lot of pictures of these groupies with musicians -including Jimmy Page-, it is not a gossip; it can be checked easily if those women lied about their actual age, the year the pictures/songs about them fit the dates. (I was a fan of Led Zep, nothing of this is new, I'd just never knew how old they were; their characters on Cameron Crowe's movie were 16 perhaps to avoid the controversy). --Agustin6 (talk) 21:25, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Notability could be established as long as multiple independent, reliable sources talk about subject and especially this article has a huge relevant on notable "Me Too" culture. This article seems to have all the checks to stay in Wikipedia. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 02:20, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Basing an article on an unconfirmed rumor. Groundbreaking. Trillfendi (talk) 02:28, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I hate to split hairs too much, but the Bill Clinton sexual misconduct allegations and Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations pages, among many others, are "based on unconfirmed rumors." So long as the article points out that the allegations are, in fact, allegations, this doesn't seem to be a disqualifier. Et0048 (talk) 18:55, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Those had actual research go into it though, by reputable publications such as the Wall Street Journal and the White House has commented on those.... This rumor is ubstantiated gossip, if anything, the article should be renamed accordingly, such as Jimmy Page sexual misconduct allegations but even then, that’s unethical in my opinion because we still haven’t heard his side.

  • Redirect - not Notable as an article, suggest redirecting to the notable artist articles. Lubbad85 (talk) 20:17, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Now that seems like a more reasonable choice compared to keeping it. Trillfendi (talk) 22:00, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The general consensus on this page is that the article should be expanded if anything, not shrunk to a small mention on an artist's page following a redirect. Given that on both the Jimmy Page and David Bowie pages, there has been substantial resistance to so much as putting Ms. Mattix's name on either those pages, it's highly unlikely that any mention of her on those pages would contain enough information to cover the matter properly. It's best left to its own page. Et0048 (talk) 15:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The woman is not notable no matter which way people try to steer around it. There is resistance to it because people know this is not the Daily Mail. This is not place for rumors without any kind of verification. Hell, even a comment on it. I could say Idris Elba groped my left butt cheek—what would that mean if I didn’t have any evidence to back it up? Nothing. It would be a rumor. Even if I said I “enjoyed” it. So the fact that this allegation is only “worthy” of a blip on either musician’s page tells you everything you need to know about it. We know absolutely nothing about this woman’s life besides “she was a groupie at 13.” A whole article for someone just for claiming they had consensual sex with a celebrity? Ridiculous. Trillfendi (talk) 16:04, 26 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In trying to disentangle the various parts of the nomination, it seems like the nomination is basically confused about WP:NPOV (representing what is in reliable sources, good) and WP:NNC (applying notability standards to article contents, bad). Nonetheless, focusing on the policy-based rationale for deletion (WP:BLP1E), it's obvious from a simple Google search that the subject has been covered by multiple RS over multiple events (with multiple people), so it's a pass of WP:GNG that is not ruled out by WP:BLP1E. It's worth noting that the sole redirect !vote above does not suggest a specific target, and indeed can't, since multiple valid targets are supported by RS, precisely because it is not a WP:BLP1E situation. Bakazaka (talk) 00:09, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I’m not confused on NPOV vs BLP1E. I simply opined that what’s the point of this article based on an allegation if it’s not even giving the entire version of alleged events, serving to victimize Ms. Mattix for a sexual misconduct “reckoning” when by all accounts (those only coming from her of course, it was the opposite). The fact remains, she’s only seen as “notable” to people for a rumor, not her own merits. What career does she have to speak of? What biographical facts can even be confirmed besides “she was once a teenager in California?” All notability is on Jimmy Page for that matter; the 2 sentences in his personal life section sum it up for what it is. That’s that on that. Trillfendi (talk) 00:31, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
A person doesnt need to have a career to be considered notable nor what happened has a merit of true. Notability is measured by "worthy of notice" (as this article has a culture relevant) whereby the subject is mentioned by multiple independent, reliable source which the content of the article claimed . There are/were many groupies or teenagers had many group sex especially during the late 60's early 70's during the "free love" era, or many rape victims were killed, but no independent sources talk about them and that is considered not notable in Wikipedia. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:53, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I am not convinced by the WP:BLP1E argument; her interaction with these people went on for years, regardless of its reporting (and many of the refs used in the article span several years; E.g. it wasn't just one reporting "event"). My biggest issue is that there is no real WP:SIGCOV here. I could not find an article on her from a material Tier 1 RS (as opposed to her being mentioned in a David Bowie/Jimmy Page articles; many of which are not strong RS). Even her other WP:RS seem weak; evidenced by how little real BIO details we have on her (e.g. the classic sign for me of a lack of a SIGCOV article). She is interesting and I could see readers wanting to know about her, however I'm am not sure she clearly meets WP:GNG criteria? Britishfinance (talk) 15:42, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are many situations in which Wikipedia might have an article about a person, but not have certain biographical details, or even a birth name, available. The extreme example is the featured article on D. B. Cooper, but of course authors write under pseudonyms, victimized people seek to minimize the chances of revictimization, and professionals in certain fields might seek to obscure their personal details (e.g. modeling agencies lying about DOB and height to maximize the chance for models to get hired). So lacking biographical details does not necessarily indicate anything bad. It may, in fact, mean that Wikipedia is handling a sensitive matter correctly.

  • Comment. My point is that in the case of this BLP, the lack of any WP:SIGCOV means that we have no wider biographical details. It is of course not a universal one-to-one relationship, but BLPs with no SIGCOV usually lack core biographical details, as most of their GNG is from less substantive sources. Not having WP:SIGCOV doesn't automatically stop a BLP, but for a current living BLP candidate not to have SIGCOV, is a material issue imho. Britishfinance (talk) 21:02, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was deleted as a WP:COPYVIO. This is likely to be an unpopular result, but as RoySmith and Britishfinance point out in the discussion, copyright expertise is required to assess the copyright status of this article, and I am in the unfortunate position of being an admin with the requisite expertise. While it is true that copyright can not inhere to lists of facts, this article is not a list of facts. It is a list of speculations, based on factors chosen by its authors. While these factors may have been chosen with an intent to make the most accurate projections, there is still substantial personal creativity involved in deciding which factors to include and which of the immeasurable set of all possible factors to exclude. This deletion is without prejudice to the creation of an article about this list of projections, which could in context make a fair use discussion replicating a sampling of these factors, and broadly relaying their conclusions. However, replication of the numbers arrived at by the author here, no matter how formatted, lifts this information out of the body of work that Wikipedia is able to publish under its license. As a final thought, the use of this or any material in Wikipedia to further any third-party agenda is irrelevant, and properly rejected as a basis for deletion. bd2412 T 20:23, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why the page should be deleted Mystery42 (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page is just a copypaste of some UN report. There are no other references, the "references" are only footnotes from the report and other footnotes by some Wikipedia people. Everyone could just get this directly from the UN. If it is relevant to some other article, they need not reference this article, but they can simply refer to the UN report. In my eyes, the technical problem is that this article is irrelevant and this is a reason to delete this article.

The bigger problem is: Context is missing. There is no discussion of the methods, no criticism, not even the context of why this table was created and what purpose it is supposed to be used for. This data necessarily is highly speculative. Noone can estimate the world's population without dubious theoretical assumptions. This is obvious for any academic, but it might not be obvious to children or people with bad access to education. Of course, Wikipedia should educate these groups, but this context-free stub is not going to educate them. It is rather going to make them believe: "This is on Wikipedia, even UN, there is no criticism section, so this is probably objectively true."

This becomes clear when we see that the shooter of Christchurch refers to this article in his manifesto (which will lead many people to this page). Of course, the shooter's reference is not a reason to remove this article. But it is obvious that people like him just take this table to be objective truth, just like the actual population numbers from last year.

The worse problem is: It just appears as if this was a propaganda page by people with the same ideology as the shooter. Just look at the phrase in brackets: "(which is the *recommended* one)". This has not been written by someone who wanted to inform other people, but rather by someone who desperately wanted to persuade other people.

So – as there are clear technical reasons to delete this page –, I suggest doing so. (In that case, better put a note in there, linking to this discussion, so that people do not think Wikipedia is censoring facts because they support an unpopular opinion. This page URL will be called by many people and they would then wonder. It should be clear that this page simply does not make sense for technical reasons.)

The technical reason is: This page is unnecessary and it makes figures look uncontroversial which are not uncontroversial. An alternative would be to extend this page, but I do not see a reason for that at the moment. Mystery42 (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - being mentioned in the Christchurch manifesto is not a reason to delete something. The article has existed since 2011, and you have to do something better than this nomination. When stating objective data projected by a neutral source becomes 'propaganda', I fear for the fate of the modern man. Or whatever. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 17:05, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Delete I agree this is a copyvio. It appears clear from the U.N. website the United Nations does not allow this data to be redistributed (which we are clearly doing) without permission. SportingFlyer T·C 04:14, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, it's clear this is still a copyvio. The Excel spreadsheet this article is completely based on has a copyright with an "all rights reserved" on it, which includes redistribution or creating derivative works. The database rights isn't on point, because you imply databases that aren't covered by that law do not fall under copyright, which is incorrect (if I have this right that actually creates a separate right if you have a database of facts you have worked to compile, and facts cannot be copyrighted.) Further, the data are estimates and not facts so can be copyrighted as they are the work of the U.N. SportingFlyer T·C 16:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Your argument about estimates almost makes sense, but not when there is no originality involved. A set of predictions made by a scientific procedure are meant to be reproducible by anyone who does the same thing. We have many such tables - electronegativity, Mohs hardness scale, oxidation state etc. The number does not have to be a direct observation - a 'fact' you might say -- it can be highly processed by algorithms or clever chemists into some index; nonetheless, if the author didn't have the option to just go into the table and change some numbers for the heck of it, it cannot be a creative work. Wnt (talk) 19:08, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, databases are copyrightable in the U.S. - see "compilation" here [22]. Even if the facts in the databases aren't copyrightable (assuming the data are "facts" the database itself can be. And in any case, "unoriginal" databases have been held in the past as breach of contracts where distribution occurs through a license even though the work itself isn't available for copyright. In this case, it's crystal clear the UN license is incompatible with the Wikipedia license. See Wikipedia:Non-free_content. SportingFlyer T·C 21:31, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia certainly cannot breach a contract it didn't make. Your argument about "compilation" relies on some indication that the authors compiled and selected their original population data from many different sources in a unique and idiosyncratic way rather than using a few public data sets to base their projections; admittedly I haven't found out enough about the set to disprove that, but I'm not convinced it's true either. Wnt (talk) 23:25, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • But it can breach a license, which is, in essence if not in fact, a contract to use the data. An argument saying the UN copyright/license is invalid because of a legal theory which may or may not be correct isn't an argument to keep per our non-free content terms. SportingFlyer T·C 23:29, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Claiming copyrights on uncopyrightable material based on "a legal theory which may or may not be correct" is called copyfraud. Every day people are duped into paying royalties on public domain content, and there's no law against it. Even so, I don't see the UN here complaining - I see you propounding what sounds like an overwrought extension of copyrights even beyond their usual miserable nature. Wnt (talk) 0f7:15, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
  • Yes, but again, you're assuming a court would assume the information provided in the table is not creative. Per Wikipedia:Copyright in lists, this is an instance where the UN is not reporting facts, but rather collecting data from a number of different sources and providing their own estimate. It could be considered roughly equivalent to the CCC Information Services case mentioned in that link. It really boils down to whether these have been created by "repeatable calculation" or by "value judgments," and a reading of the methodology here, especially page 5 [23], means that we're much closer to "value judgments" than "repeatable calculations." SportingFlyer T·C 21:00, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Downloading the UN data and uploading here is against their terms of use but my thoughts are that it is not a breach of copyright because the information has been sufficiently transformed. I think WP policy is to respect copyright but not terms of use. I'm not sure because I personally try to respect both. Database rights? No idea. I'm not at all sure how useful this table is (would it not be better to discuss the area of interest in an article and link to the UN?) but I don't think that is an sufficient reason for deletion. Thincat (talk) 12:36, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • We haven't "transformed" the work at all, simply reformatted it. SportingFlyer T·C 16:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, maybe you are right. The spreadsheet I looked at (with the same figures) was in quite a different format but perhaps I looked at the wrong one. Another consideration: these figures are not merely counted numbers, i.e. not "facts". Rather, they have been produced using a (mathematical) process that is arguably "creative" to a lawyer. And perhaps a valid copyright claim can be made on that basis. I don't know. Thincat (talk) 16:37, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    A number can be a valid scientific observation or estimate, or it can be a creative work of the human imagination, but it can't be both. Creativity implied someone had an option to change those numbers to tell some other story. Wnt (talk) 19:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:RAWDATA. I'm also unable to figure out exactly what source was used. There's an external link that gets you to https://population.un.org/wpp/Download/Standard/Population/, where you can find a large number of spreadsheets. I can't tell which of those was used to generate this table, so fails WP:V in its current state. I don't honestly know if this is a WP:CV, but it certainly violates the UN's Terms Of Use, which says, The United Nations grants permission to Users to visit the Site and to download and copy the information, documents and materials (collectively, “Materials”) from the Site for the User’s personal, non-commercial use, without any right to resell or redistribute them or to compile or create derivative works. This clearly violates that. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Found the source spreadsheet, which the first one on the "Probabilistic Projections" tab ([24]). I think if the article survives AfD, then the sourcing and additional methodoligy criteria of how this data was constructed should be added to the WP article so that a reader can see exactly where it came from, and what it represents (e.g. assumptions etc.). Otherwise it is useless to a reader, and just junk. Britishfinance (talk) 16:22, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I understand the COPYVIO concerns, however, I feel that we need some specialist input here; particularly given that there are many WP articles that are effectively "data tables" of other global NGO-type organistations (e.g. our GDP-GNI data tables, and many many more). Should we ping a WP copyvio specialist to this AfD (e.g Dianna)? If we can sort the copyvio one way or another (e.g. is it a WP:G12 or not), then now that I have found the source, we could repair this article. It is very intersting and informative imho.

Yes, as the question here really isn't whether it's notable but whether the methodology used by the U.N. is "creative" or whether these are being presented as facts.

  • Delete: At first it appeared to me that it was a simple list of raw data, which would not contain any creative content, and thus not be copyrightable. However (after being pinged to offer an opinion and thinking about it for a few hours) I don't think that's actually the case. Countries are grouped as "medium-fertility" if their children per woman is declining but is still somewhere above 2.1 per woman. That seems straightforward enough, but this page, which describes the process of obtaining the final data, says that a number of different variables unique to each country such as mortality, AIDS status, and migration are taken into account to obtain the final result. Therefore my opinion is that the data in this series of UN tables contain enough creative expression to qualify for copyright protection and should not be republished here in their entirety. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:45, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, looks like a hoax to me. Some of the text is copied from this book, but slightly modified to support the hoax. Pretty sure other bits have been similarly treated but can't identify the source. On the other hand, "sudden pain in the left arm pit during this movement" is likely out and out bullshit.

Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, but right now simply doesn't meet WP:NACTOR, only a single significant role. Most of the coverage is about the one film, All Square, and the two significant pieces are interviews, again, having to deal with All Square, plus interviews don't go towards notability.

WP:BLP of a person whose claims of notability are not properly referenced to reliable or notability-supporting sources. Five of the eight footnotes here are to blogs, making them total non-starters in terms of establishing notability at all -- and while there are three sources that are more reliable titles in theory, two of the them (Huffington Post and Instinct) are Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person, while the third (Attitude) just glancingly mentions his name in the context of being the cover model rather than actually saying anything substantive about him. As always, appearing on the cover of a magazine is not in and of itself an automatic inclusion freebie that exempts a person from actually having to get over WP:GNG on the sourcing -- but a person doesn't get over GNG if you have to rely entirely on blogs and Q&A interviews and can't show any third-party third-person journalism.

  • Keep. Doubt it. The three stations seem to have been in completely different places. And note that Brownhills West still exists (albeit in a slightly different place) and is the terminus of the heritage Chasewater Railway. That article explains that it was rebuilt after the previous station had to be demolished due to the construction of the M6 Toll motorway. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:17, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • No problem with the current Brownhills West or even the Chasewater railway building a Brownhills West and then having to move it but I'm having problems finding reliable sources to support the existence of a Brownhills West on the Midland Railway branch just Brownhills later renamed Brownhills Watling Street by the LMS to distinguish it from the ex-LNWR station of the same name. Brownhills (Watling Street) was a terminus for passenger services according to contemporary timetables and contemporary maps don't show any passenger stations north of Brownhills Watling Street (see also [26]). Neither do modern reference books like Quick or Clinker nor atlases mention a Brownhills West opened by the Midland Railway. Note the only source in the article is [27] which says Brownhills West on the Chasewater Railway is a newcomer to the region's railway scene and a newcomer to the Chasewater Railway as the M6 Toll Road, to add to the general catalogue of bad luck faced by the Chasewater Railway during its history, drove through the original Brownhills West station - the site of which today is directly under the motorway! With the compensation for the loss of their facility, the Chasewater Railway built its present Brownhills West station and heritage centre. So I think this article is based on a misinterpretation of this source in that the original Brownhills West mentioned is not a Midland Railway station but the first Brownhills West built by the Chasewater Railway and demolished when the M6 Toll Motorway was built and the original editor of this page has conflated the Chasewater Brownhills West with the original Brownhills (Watling Street). Other than the Chasewater Railway one of the few mentions I can find of Brownhills West is this blog which mentions two stations on the branch line from Aldridge, namely Walsall Wood and a single station in Brownhills which the author calls Brownhills West but is IMO Brownhills later Brownhills (Watling Street) on which we already have an article.

  • Delete The station does not appear on six-inch OS maps from the period it was supposed to have existed (e.g. 1900, 1915). This is conclusive because these maps are sufficiently detailed to show signal boxes and even signal posts.----Pontificalibus 06:59, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agreed, no station marked on historical OS maps at the place indicated by the map pin (or anywhere on the Walsall Wood extension). Merge the relevant material (ie, from 1985) to Brownhills West railway station. I don't think there is a need to keep the page for attribution reasons, it can be deleted after merging. Just a credit to the original editor in the edit summary will do; no one else has made a substantive edit. SpinningSpark 18:57, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There's only one reference and it just mentions the Chasewater Railway station; that source also says the new station opened in 2004 when it was 2002 according to the article and 2001 according to better sources (Railway Magazine and Chasewater Railway). The old station probably closed in 2000 (according to Chasewater Railway Museum blog), and there seems to have been no station there before the Chasewater Railway. I would oppose merging from an article that is not supported by sources and is likely to be inaccurate. Peter James (talk) 19:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Former railway stations are seen as notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia, and as separate articles. The article does need additional references but a lack of references is not a valid reason to delete the article. Rillington (talk) 14:25, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Rillington: As demonstrated above, this is not a former railway station: it never existed. Brownhills West railway station is a station on a hertiage railway, this article was created on the assumption that the station was in existence on the orginal Midland Railway, but it wasn't. The station was newly created by the heritage railway. ----Pontificalibus 14:36, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge @Pontificalibus: After reading your comments I checked the disused-stations website and the site covers the line but there is no mention of this station. Therefore, I have changed my view and am now in favour of merging the information in the article we are discussing into the Brownhill West article if the information can be verified from an independent source.

  • Delete. Being organizational chair of a political party is not an automatic inclusion freebie — it can get a person into Wikipedia if they can be reliably sourced as the subject of enough coverage to clear WP:GNG, but it doesn't guarantee them an article just for existing. But two of the three references here are glancing namechecks of his existence as a giver of soundbite in articles about other things or people, and the one that's actually about him is a straight-up press release from the Republican National Committee itself. Which means none of these are notability-supporting sources at all: the two that are reliable aren't about him, and the one that is about him isn't independent.

It is generally not in good form to be uncivil and then follow it in the same edit with "sorry I couldn't help myself" but that aside, university paper, social media and personal knowledge are in no way able to establish notability for a subject.

I draw special attention to WP:NCORP sections WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND and also draw special attention to the following: Independence of the content (or intellectual independence): the content must not be produced by interested parties. Too often a related party produces a narrative that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties (as exemplified by churnalism). Independent content, in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.

To be honest, at this time her career has not reached the level of what we can make an article out of (from reliable sources).

  • Keep. It meets basic WP:GNG. I edited and added couple of more references such as Vogue. She actually seems like a very popular model.

An article about Amber Heard where she is mentioned does not count. A mention in a Vogue article about Bette's wedding does not count. Maybe the Vogue article about her eating habits is something.

  • Comment. Feel this is very borderline. Her March 2010 Vogue article about eating disorders was widely covered and there are other refs in Dutch sources from the weeks after that.

  • Keep (changed position based on massive improvements - great work, Alarichall!) Delete It's kind of amusing to look at its Talk page - editors have been saying for years that they didn't understand why it was an article. I came across a source that I thought would surely discuss it (The Dress of the Book: Children's Literature, Fashion, and Fancy Dress) but it only had a brief discussion of Alice's dress.

  • Keep or merge. This is not a very timely deletion request, as an academic monograph, much of which is on this very topic, has just come out: Kiera Vaclavik, Fashioning Alice: The Career of Lewis Carroll's Icon, 1860-1901 (London: Bloomsbury, 2019) ISBN 9781474290388. I've also done some editing of the entry to provide academic references for some of the poorly referenced material and to add some of the academic coverage of the subsequent influence of Alice's dress. I think the article now meets the notability criteria of WP:GNG. So I hope we might see a case here for WP:HEY. But if not, let's recognise that there's significant material here that deserves to be merged rather than deleted. Alarichall (talk) 00:29, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It meets WP:GNG, with sufficient independent, reliable sources with significant coverage already in the article. In addition, the book which Alarichall added has a survey on page 5 [35] of the scholarly attention given to Alice's dress, naming as sources works about Sir John Tenniel by Simpson (1994), Morris (2005), Engen (1991) and Hancher (1985); and works about the history of childhood and children's costume by Roe (1959), Ewing (1977), Stuart (1933), Nunn (1984), and Brooke (1930), which could be followed up and added to the article. They also show that there has been sustained coverage of Alice's dress. Schazjmd said above that "it's now become iconic, but it isn't notable", but the extent of coverage indicates that it is indeed notable, and has been considered worthy of writing about by many authors over a long period.

The article refers to an approach museums are using in response to Transhistoricity. A transhistorical approach in museums has works or artefacts spanning from different eras or movements kept separate, implying audiences draw ideas or conclusions retrospectively, and from individual time periods, outside of each other. The interhistorical approach, on the other hand, puts chronologies in conversation and/or confrontation, allowing conclusions to be drawn about the links in lineage that such time periods may have. The effect is a merging and meshing of time, where the beginning and end of an idea or perspective becomes more ambiguous (see the referenced article by Mieke Bal, under the section "in theory"). The Oude Kerk, Amsterdam section at the bottom of the article is given as an example for the way interhistoricity is used in museums. The invitation is open for other musea who use a similar method and approach to contribute to the article, since the section clearly states "in practice" JG@OudeKerkAMS (talk) 11:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps. But it needs independent, reliable sources to show that the term is actually notable. So far, only a few WP:PRIMARY sources (people coining the term) that are closely linked to the institution you seem to represent and which is mentioned prominently in the article have been cited. That is insufficient to meet the General Notability Guidelines and positively reeks of WP:PROMO. Kleuske (talk) 12:04, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It seems a bit odd to use an adverb (Interhistorical) as a Headword.

There's an expat Indian community of a few hundred people, and there's some sporadic coverage of the Hindu festivals that they celebrate, but I'm not seeing anything on the topic of Hinduism in the country per se, and it's difficult to imagine why there should be in-depth sources about the religion of such a recent, small and likely transient community. It's conceivable that some content on this topic could be added to either Religion in Egypt or to Indians in Egypt, but I'm really not seeing anything that can be merged at this stage. – Uanfala (talk) 02:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

    From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Publicly traded corporations (my bolding):

    There has been considerable discussion over time whether publicly traded corporations, or at least publicly traded corporations listed on major stock exchanges such as the NYSE and other comparable international stock exchanges, are inherently notable. Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in this (or any other) case. However, sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies, so that notability can be established using the primary criterion discussed above. Examples of such sources include independent press coverage and analyst reports. Accordingly, article authors should make sure to seek out such coverage and add references to such articles to properly establish notability.



    Analyst reports

    1. Credit Suisse published a 1 November 2016 analyst report on pages 66–81 of https://plus.credit-suisse.com/rpc4/ravDocView?docid=V6fZD92AF-WElY95 written by analysts Gary Zhou, Gloria Yan, Dave Dai, and Patrick Jobin that profiles Concord New Energy, which is the successor to China Windpower Group. The report summarizes what the company does:

      Concord New Energy (CNE) specialises in wind and solar power operation. The company is the only pure vertical integrated clean energy power company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. CNE's core businesses include wind and solar farm investment, operation and services (early stage development, design and consultancy, construction, operation and maintenance, and new energy equipment manufacturing). CNE has investment in more than 52 wind & solar farm, and also owns power design, construction and installation company, as well as power farm operation and maintenance company.

      The report further notes:

      We initiate coverage of Concord New Energy (CNE) with an OUTPERFORM rating and DCF-based target price of HK$0.56. We expect CNE to deliver 24% FY16-18E EPS CAGR driven by—(1) balanced expansion of solar and wind farms; (2) wind utilisation recovery on policy support; and (3) construction margin improvement with business shift from EPC to BT model. Its current low-gearing ratio supports such growth.

      ...

      Key downside risks are (1) larger-than-expected solar tariff cut, (2) higher wind curtailment, and (3) lower build-and transfer (BT) revenue.

      ...

      CNE mainly focuses on wind and solar farm investment, operation and services. In 2015, 62% of CNE's operating profit came from wind and solar farm operation and 35% came from EPC business. Looking forward, we expect power plant operation to become the company's major growth driver. ...

      Unlike other pure wind/solar operators, CNE has diversified into both wind and solar farm operations. ...

      CNE was among the earliest companies to step into wind power business in 2007 (named as China Wind Power), and has extensive experience in EPC and wind farm operation. By 1H16, CNE had a total wind capacity of 1,777 MW and attributable wind capacity of 824 MW. During the previous years, most of CNE's invested wind farms were joint ventures or associates. Since 2015, with the improvement of the company's financing ability, it is gradually increasing its stake in the projects, and most of the new projects are consolidated. We expect its wind power to maintain the strong-growth momentum with around 59-71% attributable power output generated by wind in FY16-18E.

      ...

      Currently, the investors' major concern over wind operator's near-term visibility is the curtailment issue. ...

    2. GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited (廣發控股(香港)有限公司) published a 12 December 2017 analyst report at https://www.gfgroup.com.hk/docs/gfgroup/securities/Report/CorporateReport/Concord%20New%20Energy%20(182%20HK)%20Dec%2012.pdfInternet Archive written by analyst Han Ling that profiles Concord New Energy, which is the successor to China Windpower Group. The report notes:

      Concord New Energy (182 HK)

      Company focusing more on wind power business for steadier growth

      Wind power: curtailment issues alleviated The company’s wind power curtailment rate came down significantly from 24% in 1H16 to 12% in 1H17, with 72% of its pro-rata installed capacity in operation located in areas not subject to curtailment....

      Key risks include an economic downturn; weaker-than-expected policy support for solar and wind power; improvements in curtailment issues not being sustainable; subsidy payment delays; disappointments form the investment, development and operation of power plants; and slower-than-expected progress in BT projects.

    3. Fitch Ratings published a 6 November 2017 analyst report at https://www.reuters.com/article/fitch-assigns-first-time-bb-rating-to-co-idAFFit90H4nPInternet Archive written by analysts Renee Lam and Penny Chen. The report assigned a 'BB-' Rating to Concord New Energy. The report notes:

      The rating also incorporates CNE's high financial leverage due to large debt-funded expansionary capex as it aggressively expands capacity over the next two to three years, higher structural subordination relative to renewable transactions by Fitch-rated peers and the typical time lag in receiving subsidy payments faced by wind and solar generators in China. However, as CNE is largely exposed to wind power generation, its subsidy exposure is lower than for operators more exposed to solar. CNE has a weak near-term financial profile for its 'BB-' rating, characterised by its high financial leverage.

      ...

      Evolving Business Profile: CNE has actively managed its business strategy in response to changing market conditions and shifted its focus from EPC services and equipment sales to solar and wind farm development and operation. We believe CNE's experience in the upstream EPC segment helps mitigate execution risk to some extent, despite a short record in wind-power operation and management.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow China Windpower Group to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

This article was recently accepted through AfC, but it lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. The 4 references in the article are only mentions in passing, and do not support any of the main claims of notability for the subject. A Google search turns up little except mentions of an organization by the same name in the U.S. I believe this fails WP:NORG. Bradv🍁 15:15, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bradv:, thank you for your input! Presently the article might be lacking significant coverage in regards to the sources. However, it is worth including for the following reasons. As it was mentioned, there is already a wikipedia article about another orchestra with nearly the same name - "Concord Chamber Orchestra" from Wisconsin. That article has only one source - their official website. Google search first shows the numerous videos and images from Concord Orchestra discussed here and afterwords the wikipedia article about Concord Chamber Orchestra. This might create a confusion. That is why I believe there should be a mention that they are two different orchestras. I have added this information into the article about Concord Orchestra - "not to be mistaken with Concord Chamber Orchestra". Moreover, Concord Orchestra has concerts in Europe (Germany) in 2019 as it says on their website and European audience might be looking for information about it.

I believe that the visual content online is just as important as the written one especially when it comes to the music and performing arts. The orchestra has been existed for a few years already. The article is not created to promote a fresh act but to make it clear for the foreign audience where this orchestra comes from.

Agreed with Lugnuts. It is not a full international team for Estonia. The match is not a T20I. And T20Is for associate ICC members need to be in a T20 World Cup, T20 World Cup qualifier, or regional qualifier final stages to count as 'highest level' anyway. I do feel that this needs to be made clearer though as it is not beyond reason to consider any T20I as 'highest level' in a sense. Regardless, this Estonian XI is not playing full T20Is anyway.Bs1jac (talk) 14:01, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The matches played by Estonia in the current tournament do not have an official status as Estonia could not send an eligible XI.

Is it because everything which has been stuck to for the last 15 years has been absolutely fine? Sure, we come across anomalies like the one we've seen recently, but that's nothing to do with our guidelines. If you can't suggest new, universally applicable guidelines, please don't tell us the ones we've been working to are wrong. In any case, if this cricketer does fail CRIN, that's a meaningless point.

How about at least one first class wicket or at least thirty first class runs or at least one first class catch or at least one first class run out? Aoziwe (talk) 12:11, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then again, perhaps the reason they only made a single first-class appearance was exactly that reason! Any extra "benchmark" anyone adds which contains a value judgment would be a breach of NPOV. Bobo. 00:42, 5 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On his own he is not notable. India is now a democracy with no more kingdoms and thus no more thrones to inherit. There is a claim of him being a titular ruler , but that means something like Queen of England and Emperor of japan, this person on the other hand has no such official title or power. Either way, In the case of J&K, the kingdom was handed over to India by the then king of kashmir in the 1950s, effectively stripping him and his descendants of royalty.

  • It is not correct that there is no disambiguation needed. We need to disambiguate Cyrus Baguio when a user has just typed Baguio. People are commonly referred to by their surnames, and I have lost count of the number of times dab pages have helped me provide a link in articles I write when I only know the surname or initials. The page is also useful for readers who have typed "baguio" in error for bagyo. Of course, both of those can be handled with hatnotes, and it is no great loss to dump all the partial matches. I have no overwhelming preference for which solution should be adopted, but I don't want us to delete the page without first attending to what is useful to the reader. So I am at don't delete unless and until suitable hatnotes are created. SpinningSpark 10:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: there are two people who would form a clumsy hatnote if there were no dab page, and many of the partial matches are entities which could plausibly be referred to as plain "Baguio".

  • Delete or redirect: I added a couple of references but they rely heavily on primary sources, concerning this small charity's operational merger. Aside from these and the routine listings which provide the other references, I can find passing mention confirming Jimmy Hill's involvement in its foundation but nothing sufficient for the current WP:ORGDEPTH requirements. A redirect/merge of a sentence into Great_Ormond_Street_Hospital#Great_Ormond_Street_Hospital_Children's_Charity could be an alternative to outright deletion, though that may still require better WP:RS coverage to avoid being undue coverage.

  • Delete. Startup which seems to be doing well, but nowhere is there the kind of coverage which Wikipedia notability requires. (This comes somewhere near to qualifying for speedy deletion under a couple of criteria, but perhaps not quite under either of them. It is very similar in charcter to the article deleted at the previous deletion discussion, though by no means identical, making G4 (recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion) dubious; it is unmistakably promotional, in my opinion borderline for G11, and I think many administrators, less cautious than DGG, might have gone for that.)

I'm not seeing any indication that this subject meets WP:GNG or WP:NBIO. Significant coverage of the subject and their work seems to be limited to sources of dubious reliability (plus trivial listings of performances in more reliable, albeit local, papers), and I was unable to find anything more reliable.

This woman did not exist. She is not in the Realencyclopedie, not in Broughton, nor in any reliable source on the period. She seems to come from Colleen McCullough's novel Fortune's Favourite. The sources in the article refer to the historical Caecilia Metella. It seems that the confusion came from an anecdote about the real Metella, who had a vision in a dream that compelled her to restore the temple of Juno Sospita; however the sources tell that she was pregnant during that event, so she could not have been a vestal virgin. T8612 (talk) 00:58, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added sources: T. P. Wiseman wrote two articles on the Caecilii Metelli in 1965 and 1971, but he does not mention a Metella as vestal. More recently, Kaj Sandberg & Christopher Smith drew a stemma of the Caecilii Metelli (p. 430) that doesn't have Metella the vestal.T8612 (talk) 12:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, I should have waited a bit to break the record.^^ Seriously, I don't think there was an intention to deceive. The article originally relied on a source, which was rightly deleted last year by @Llywrch:, but the article remained. T8612 (talk) 12:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I removed the reference because (1) it was added by an account that I suspect was a sockpuppet of a banned user (named below) who is known to have invented personages like this one, with the tell-tale practice of citing books without page numbers; & (2) according to to a Wikipedian in Brazil, the publisher of the cited work is better known as a vanity press, thus undercutting any possible credibility the work might have. Due to lack of time, I go further than that in determining if she actually existed. But I'm confident this is a hoax. -- llywrch (talk) 10:17, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I added the sources to this article, but I had not checked to see if there was another article about Caecilia Metella Balearica. If this one was invented by Colleen McCullough, then I would suggest merging this article into the other one (the info about Sextus Roscius is supported by scholarly sources, but is not yet in the other article), and adding a section on 'Caecilia Metella Balearica in popular culture' to the other. Readers of those books might well search for information about her, and if McCullough based her character on the historical one, it would be useful to say so. I will try to investigate further - for example, does McCullough give information in her books about which characters are historical and which she has fictionalised? RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:06, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge seems a good idea, then. From the other article at least one claim "Her oldest sister was a Vestal Virgin" needs to be deleted, assuming there's no proper evidence for it. And the sooner the better, because I can see at least three genealogy pages on the web that look like descendants of this page of ours.

NB1: I don't know of any connection beyond the fact that G.-M. Cupertino often cited this material. The G.-M. Cupertino account has been blocked for sockpuppetry. NB2: since the publications aren't, or weren't, available on line, I only know of them at second hand. Andrew Dalby 09:14, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This woman did exist. She did assist Roscius who was being defended by Cicero (see Syme, Approaching the Roman Revolution, 84-85). She was the daughter of Balearicus, consul 123 BC. I'm not familiar with Colleen McCulloch, so I'm not sure which parts come from her book. But at first glance it looks like the last paragraph is fictitious, and the reference to her being a Vestal and a priestess are also wrong.Urg writer (talk) 20:57, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are speaking of the other Caecilia Metella. There was no Metella vestal/priestess. I added the part about Sextus Roscius to the correct article. T8612 (talk) 21:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
They are the same person. Both articles are full of inaccuracies. I agree they should be merged, and the accurate bits kept in one historical article. Urg writer (talk) 20:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The initial version of this article stated that Werbel "is the founder and director of the Portland Museum of Modern Art (PMOMA)" without clarifying that PMOMA, to quote from one of the sources, is "a microscopic basement space in her friend’s music shop". The current version of this article still states in the lede that Werbel "is an artist" but I am not sure that is correct: she appears to have studied art, to be the founder/owner of an art gallery (ie PMOMA), and to have curated exhibitions at various museums. Content about Werbel and PMOMA is supported by very primary and/or very local and/or very niche sources. Content about exhibitions Werbel curated does not pertain to her own notability, but rather to the notability of the artists whose production was on display. To conclude, the subject does not pass GNG. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 01:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to draft space or user space. I'd like to give this editor more time to work on the article, which was created at a recent Art+Feminism event. I don't see any harm in preserving the page's history in the draft or user space. The page can be deleted at a later date if no further improvements are made. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:26, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Portland Museum of Modern Art.Delete PMOMA has some good coverage (example) but if we just go by that it seems like BLP1E. Someone would have to find in-depth coverage on her other accomplishments, which is possible but, judging from my search, seems unlikely. If we remove the items that talk about the development and programming of the PMOMA, there are three sentences left. eThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:12, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Changing my !vote to redirect, as Portland Museum of Modern Art actually seems to meet notability requirements.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Thsmi002:... I think you may have missed something here: PMOMA is not a museum, it is a basement art gallery that Werbel decided to call Portland Museum of Modern Art because "it would be funny and bold". So the article you have created, even assuming the topic is notable, is very very misleading and miscategorised. Actually, you have just amplified what I was trying to fend off. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 14:19, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Cheeky, yes, but Portland Museum of Modern Art seems to meet notability requirements: coverage over time in reliable sources. Changing my vote above to redirect to Portland Museum of Modern Art. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 16:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Werbel's work with PMOMA is notable for the artists whose work it has presented, internationally recognized artists and those who have been included in exhibitions such as the Whitney Biennial. It is common in the second decade of the 21st century for project spaces such as this to make significant contributions to culture. Lradon (talk) 22:42, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep & Improve (not sure if that means draftify or not) Werbel's curation, if it receives its own attention, IS notable and I think the citations support that. Culd also see putting this in a section under PMOMA except that article is currently so teeny. Jessamyn (talk) 01:20, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello. I created this article. Werbel's curatorial work might not be fully captured if it were to be folded into the PMOMA article. Regarding the assertion that her activities have not been widely covered in secondary sources, such is the state of arts criticism, but her work has been covered by every significant regional outlet from the statewide daily paper to public broadcasting. I will continue to add information to the article. Lradon (talk) 22:38, 1 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
