Georgii Speakman[edit]

Poorly sourced article that has been the subject of WP:COI and WP:SPA editing since its creation. She does not seem to meet WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG - a WP:BEFORE search shows plenty of PR stuff but nothing much more substantial. Melcous (talk) 23:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It's interesting that the article only defines her as an actress, despite the fact that she doesn't seem to have done any acting for almost a decade. She currently seems to be a businessperson living in LA (maybe an earlier version of the article mentioned that), but the only sources for that are PR or interviews as mentioned above.

Comment. I'm not seeing how it can be a promotional article, given he died 18 years ago! What's it promoting exactly? -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:12, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The tone, style and lack of sources suggest that it is promotional. Promotional content is much more of an issue for BLPs, but people do sometimes start articles on their ancestors and other dead relatives. It was started in 2007, so subject was only dead for 6 years at that point. The article creator has edited Owen Spencer-Thomas, also up for deletion, who I presume is Ivor's son. Edwardx (talk) 10:44, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not really promotional then. Just personal interest. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:56, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The two concepts are not mutually exclusive. Edwardx (talk) 17:06, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2015–16 Sloboda Užice season[edit]

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

This fails WP:NSEASONS as the Serbian First League wasn't a professional league until the following season. I was also going to nominate the 2016-17 article but that would fail as the league was professional by then.

I would also like to nominate for the reason that I mentioned above plus the fact there is also going under WP:PRIMARY.

Keep professionalism isn't a requirement for season articles, just WP:GNG (see university seasons in the USA) - they were in the top flight, and while there's too much referenced to the team's website, there's other references as well so WP:PRIMARY isn't an issue either. SportingFlyer T·C 02:18, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Technically no they wern't as they were in the second division of Serbian football with the Serbian SuperLiga being the top division of the country. HawkAussie (talk) 02:28, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(edited out an expletive but wanted to note an expletive was uttered) you're right - forgot the Super League was above the Prva Liga. Makes it more marginal. SportingFlyer T·C 06:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was move to Draft:Ashley Maynard-Brewer. Some people directly suggested this, others went for keeping, others thought the NFOOTY requirements cause more harm than good and need re-evaluating. In all cases, a move to draft preserves the content while also satisfying concerns about minimal quality / notability requirements for biographies.

Keep - Fair nomination given the failure of NFOOTY, but enough out there for GNG in my opinion: [1], [2], [3] - WP:THREE. Decent amount of sustained coverage regarding usually routine news, given they are just 20, e.g. [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. R96Skinner (talk) 00:12, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify just a bit too soon and much of the coverage presented is routine - applying the ten-year test WP:10YT, if his football career ended today, we wouldn't have an article on him in ten years. SportingFlyer T·C 02:20, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
SKennedy157 He has played a professional game for Charlton Athletic See match report here.Report He therefore qualifies for a page as he is likely to go out on loan to other professional and semi-professional clubs in the future gaining further football experience. Seems pointless to remove a page that is likely to be remade in the future.

He played against a U21 team, which consensus says does not count toward WP:NFOOTY. SportingFlyer T·C 10:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

SKennedy157 While it was an U21 team it has counted in all players official first team stats for those who have played in the EFL Trophy and has been included as a first team start in official records. See Soccerbase link here [10] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.108.140.14 (talk) 11:28, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
SKennedy157 Also the EFL Trophy - despite allowing U21 teams to play in it - is a fully professional competition in the English Football League system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.108.140.14 (talk • contribs)

That's fine and true, but we require as part of WP:NFOOTBALL a showing that a player played in a game between two fully professional teams. Swansea U21 are not fully professional, sorry. Also, it's helpful if you sign your posts instead of bolding your user name - you can do this by typing the ~ character four times after your post. SportingFlyer T·C 12:05, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify - doesn't meet NFOOTBALL and not quite convinced by GNG (yet). Draftifying allows article improvement/expansion for it to be notable and moved back in due course. Giant Snowman 09:29, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Open a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports), then. An individual AfD isn't the place to vent your dislike for current consensus/guidelines et al, as you know. If you feel this article should be deleted per GNG, then cool~~, but NFOOTY itself cannot be questioned as this article does pass it.~~ R96Skinner (talk) 13:00, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - No it doesn't, that's the very reason why the article was brought to AfD in the first place. The player has not played in a fully pro game therefore he doesn't meet NFOOTY and that's why the article was nominated for deletion! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:02, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Apologies! I was looking at a few AfDs, got my wires crossed... not sure why John is mentioning the one game then. Quick spot that, ChrisTheDude! Thanks. :) R96Skinner (talk) 13:06, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@R96Skinner, ChrisTheDude, and Johnpacklambert: - pursuant to the above, I have initiated discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Proposal: Scrap the "one appearance" rule in favor of two mundane appearances or one unusual/remarkable appearance.

Mark Lindquist[edit]

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

My name is Mark and I am the subject of this article. I’m requesting it be deleted. I am not notable according to Wikipedia guidelines as I was only a locally elected official and also no longer serve in that capacity. The page has been used over the last few years as a political platform by someone prosecuted by my former office. While I appreciate someone apparently finds me worthy to put on Wikipedia, the article doesn’t appear to follow Wikipedia guidelines. As such, I request as a courtesy that the article about me be deleted. MarkLindq (talk) 20:43, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as a note, the platform has been used by both those heavily against and in favour of Mark Lindquist. This has nothing to do with his notability, but it's a relevant point as to the BLP aspects of the article. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment 2 - @MarkLindq: last time the discussion decided you were notable by cutting a Gordian knot and sidestepping your position and related controversy - you are notable (by Wikipedia's use of the word) for being an author. The other content is included, but is secondary. I suspect this discussion will come down to whether it's felt that your desire, as the article's subject, is enough to warrant article deletion despite at least some level of WP:NAUTHOR/author notability. Nosebagbear (talk) 21:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'd argue that this is a subject on the cusp of notability but not quite there. I agree with the above comment that the coverage is (1) not sufficient for notability and (2) unnecessary in its scope. Gargleafg (talk) 01:31, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Felipe Nogueira[edit]

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

In 2010 and 2010, the player had 9 appearances in the Brazilian regional league Campeonato Mineiro, which is listed at WP:FPL, and one appearance in the Copa do Brasil. Aside from that, the rest of the player's career appears to have been spent in 4th-tier, non-FPL-listed US and Brazilian leagues. Despite technically meeting NFOOTY, I can find no WP:GNG-satisfying sources.

Delete per nom. I have concerns about Brazilian regional leagues being considered fully-pro, and in the absence of any substantive sourcing he cannot be considered notable. Giant Snowman 09:25, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - We could have this conversation all day about notability, but the fact is, as it stands, some Brazilian state leagues are professional, and Felipe Nogueira has made 9 appearances in a professional league. If this page is deleted, there would be hundreds of pages for Brazilian players that would need to be deleted too, let alone all of the players who have made one or two appearances in pro leagues or for a lower-ranked FIFA nation. Davidlofgren1996 (talk) 12:04, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not 100% familiar with how Brazilian leagues are technically classified. I was able to find a few sources that reference Nogueira directly (Announcing his retirement, going on loan to Guarani, and declining to take an assistant coaching position with Uberaba). It's not a lot but it's something. There are also other sources if you search his name along with the other teams he's played for. My lack of familiarity with Brazilian leagues keeps from voting definitively on this one, however. But maybe those sources will inform others who know more than me? Gargleafg (talk) 01:08, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - Article about footballer who spent much of his career with semi-professional clubs, but appears to have played a significant amount of games in the Campeonato Mineiro (top-tier league for Minas Gerais state). The league includes a few very popular clubs from Belo Horizonte, and the league is covered well in the Brazilian media, particularly within the state (although less so than the Carioca or Paulista championships). I'm not certain it's at the same status because there are several teams outside of Belo Horizonte that appear to have a much smaller following. That said, I found plenty of routine coverage, mostly in media based in Minas Gerais state, and some more in-depth coverage at the Jornal da Manhã newspaper (locally based in Uberaba). I've updated the article, but given the local nature of the coverage, and his rather unimpressive stint in US soccer, I'm thinking this is a borderline notable article. Jogurney (talk) 01:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. This is a misguided nomination. Footballer clearly meets the professional standard. gidonb (talk) 02:02, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep passes WP:NFOOTY .SNGs including WP:FOOTY exist to provide for the inclusion of certain defined subjects that cannot immediately be shown to pass GNG. An SNG provides for a presumption of notability, not a presumption of non-notability An SNG cannot be used to exclude/delete an article when the subject passes GNG, but the reverse is patently absurd because that would negate the entire reason for the existence of SNGs.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Gigolo Aunts. I can find some coverage through Newspapers.com, but I am uncertain if it is enough to establish enough notability for a separate article. However, since at least a limited amount of coverage does exist and this could be a viable search term, then a redirect would seem like a better course of action rather than outright deletion.

Delete. County board of supervisors is not an "inherently" notable role for the purposes of WP:NPOL — the lowest level of office that automatically guarantees an article to every officeholder just for the fact of having held a political office is the state legislature. To be notable enough for Wikipedia articles, politicians at the county level have to be referenced to a depth and volume and range of reliable source coverage that marks them out as much more special than most other county councillors, but that's not what the sources here are showing — there's just a smattering of the purely routine local coverage that every county councillor can always expect to receive in their local media, which is not enough to make him more notable than most of the tens of thousands of other county councillors in North America who don't have Wikipedia articles. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete. Take for example the fact that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is notable enough to have a wikipedia page. Supervisor Haggerty is currently the Chair of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission^[1], leading all other elected officials on the Commission. Supervisor Haggerty's wikipedia page should be justified as notable on these grounds alone. Additionally, Wilma Chan is also on the Alameda County Board of Supervisors. Given she is no longer a state senator, does her page still qualify as notable?--Dst20191 (talk) 22:57, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not temporary, so the fact that Wilma Chan isn't still in the state legislature now doesn't matter: if she's ever served in the state legislature at all, then she stays notable on those grounds forever. Once a person has held a notable political office, they don't suddenly become non-notable when they leave that role and go on to do something else — our job is to be a comprehensive reference for everybody who's ever served in the state legislature, not just a directory of the current legislators. But notability is also not inherited, so the fact that Chan has an article does not mean that her colleagues on the county board get to have articles, even if they haven't also served in the state legislature, just because she has one: each person is judged according to their own most notable office attained, and not anybody else's. And the fact that the transit board has an article about it as a company does not mean its chair automatically gets to have a biographical article about him as a person either: chair of a local infrastructure board or not, he still has to pass the same notability test as any other local politician: namely, enough reliable source coverage to make him much more nationally significant than most other people at this level of office. Bearcat (talk) 00:23, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to being notable at the national level, Supervisor Haggerty currently represents Alameda County on the National Association of Counties, serving as Vice Chair of the Transportation Steering Committee and formerly as Chair for a number of years.^[2] Additionally, Scott serves on the Board of Directors of the California Association of Councils of Government.^[3] In regards to Supervisor Haggerty's participation in these organizations, the Supervisor has been exceptionally active/engaged at the national and state-wide level when compared with the vast majority of county supervisors in the nation. Based on these grounds alone, Supervisor Haggerty far surpasses the requirements for categorization as "notable" within the Wikipedia guidelines.--Dst20191 (talk) 20:02, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of those are NPOL-passing roles. Nobody below the state legislature gets an automatic notability freebie just because he exists — what has to nationalize to make a person at the county level of office notable enough for an encyclopedia is his range of reliable source media coverage, not just the list of organizations he happens to be on the boards of. And incidentally, happening to have staff profiles on the self-published websites of his own employers ain't evidence of notability either. There's no such thing as notability without media coverage.

Delete or Redirect - the topic looks to be a WP:NCORP (which applies to products and services as well as companies), as the topic has not accrued a sufficient level of coverage in reliable sources. The sources cited by the article are either WP:PRIMARY (i.e the Hilton Press Center), or lack the depth needed to establish the topic as meeting NCORP.

Keep - I will try to find sources today and/or tomorrow as I find the time. For the character's first six seasons she was just a baby/toddler, and while she was occasionally a plot device, she was most often just there. I do not think it is helpful to mention every time someone carries her around, for example? Those seasons can be summed up in two to three small paragraphs at most. That said, her appearances in the ninth season as an older child gained a lot of attention and I will go through them to try to find what I can to build a decent development/reception section.

Comment: according to WP:GEOLAND, populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable. But: it also says populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighbourhoods etc Indian government or census doesnt have the concept of "neighbourhoods". However, government/census recognises "nagar", "colony", "mohalla" (they are mostly used as synonyms for each-other though).
So, if the subject is part of city or village, or the so called "neighbourhood", then WP:GNG should be applied, otherwise everything deserves an article per WP:GEOLAND. —usernamekiran(talk) 16:44, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@DBigXray: lol. That's true. I would have done that, but then there are few articles like Anand Nagar (Ahmedabad). —usernamekiran(talk) 17:16, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all and nominate one by one if required. @Nizil Shah:, it would be really hard to discuss more than one article at one go. May I suggest that you withdraw the bulk nomination and then gradually nominate them individually if you feel they are not notable?. In some cases, if a standalone article is not feasible (particularly for small neighbourhoods), it could be merged into the article of a larger entity. If possible please nominate them slowly (like 2 or 3 a week), since it takes time to search for sources as well. I am willing to help out with finding references, but it will be difficult to find all in one go.--DreamLinker (talk) 17:00, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep as the articles nominated in bulk do not fall under same category to have a common AFD. Some are census towns and some are neighbourhoods within census towns. Both of these have different notability standards and we shouldn't waste editors' time in discussing all together. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:22, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A few capsule reviews do not constitute "significant coverage" as required by WP:GNG. Wikipedia policy on notability for films has clear and specific criteria, as for example (from Wikipedia:NFO) "full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics" or "at least two non-trivial articles, at least five years after the film's initial release." Wikipedia notability is a high bar, this film doesn't reach it. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:47, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Notable with enough coverage. WP:NFO is being misused because it doesn't state that is what a film article must have. That section of the film notability guideline is titled "Other evidence of notability", meaning that the section is only for if a film article doesn't meet the general notability guideline. SL93 (talk) 02:41, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Member of the Wellington City Council. --Enos733 (talk) 14:49, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused by your comment, Enos733. I'm sure anybody commenting here would read the article first and yes, that is what they would find out about the subject. What is your rationale for making that comment? What does it mean? What does it add to this AfD? Schwede 66 17:46, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My comment is two fold. First, it provides a placeholder comment about the best possible claim of meeting and the standard upon which to judge WP:NPOL. For local officials, we regularly do consider city size, not as the criteria, but as a criteria (especially for mayors and councilmebers from global cities). When the nom states "local politician" without context, it takes community members an additional click to understand the context of the discussion. --Enos733 (talk) 04:44, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Wellington NZ is not a large or internationally prominent enough city to hand its city councillors an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL. At this level, getting a city councillor into Wikipedia requires the ability to demonstrate that she is substantively a special case of significantly greater nationalized or internationalized notability than the norm for city councillors — but this article is neither stating nor sourcing anything that would demonstrate that. Note that only one other current member of Wellington City Council has an article at all (who?), and it's also up for deletion for the same reason. Bearcat (talk) 20:49, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. OUTCOMES is neither a policy nor a guideline, it's simply a documentation of what usually takes place and is furthermore confirmed by tacit consensus through 1,000s of school AfD closures. The cited RfC actually had no clear consensus - it's mainly interpreted by peope who want to read out of it what they 'like' - mainbly deletionists. The RfC aolso inferred that whatever its outcome, it should not be used as an excuse to start tagging existing school articles for deletion.

Delete - The WSJ "blogs" are not necessarily how we would think of blogs. Despite it having the name "blog", it is not the same as a contributor platform such as Forbes Sites or unpaid contributors for Entrepreneur. People can't simply sign up and post anything they want so there is editorial oversight with who they let submit content. With that in mind, that is the best piece available I could find. Now, all of its coverage seems to be surrounded by a general announcement of the company entering the market. This WOULD fall under WP:ONENEWS so there isn't anything else that meets WP:ORGCRIT. Until the company can generate press other than their general announcements, this falls under WP:TOOSOON. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:22, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There is a lot of name-dropping in this article, but I can't find notability here. The sources given are either directly tied to the company, or are based on PR releases. My attempts to find independent, reliable sources did not turn up anything, but I'll admit my efforts were hindered by numerous results related to Big Machine Records, of which this label has no relation. I don't see that the label has signed any notable artists, nor does it seem to have had any impact on any regional musical culture, or played a significant part in the exposure or development of any genre. Therefore I currently judge this to fail both WP:GNG and any criteria by which notability may be assigned to a record label. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 02:32, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Developmental dysfluency[edit]

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

Reasons[edit]

(1) The terms "developmental dysfluency" or "developmental disfluency" are rarely used in the scholarly literature. For example:

Google Scholar search for "developmental dysfluency" (exact phrase, any time, no patents, no citations) returned only 72 results.
Google Scholar search for "developmental disfluency" (exact phrase, any time, no patents, no citations) returned only 137 results.
Google nGram search for "developmental dysfluency" (exact phrase, 1800–2008) found zero results.
Google nGram search for "developmental disfluency" (exact phrase, 1800–2008) found zero results.

A total of 209 results for the phrase (both spelling variations) might sound like a lot to some, but contrast those numbers with Google Scholar searches (any time; no patents; no citations) for stuttering (97700 results), or dyslexia (203000 results).

(2) When the term is used, it lacks a consistent definition. One sees three different definitions for the phrase:

(a) Normal development stage - Some websites and occasional articles define "developmental dysfluency" as the normal initial struggles young children(~ages 2–5) exhibit when learning how to speak, e.g., speech hesitancy, mispronunciation, or stuttering.^[1]

(b) Classification - Other publications use the phrase as an umbrella term for speech disorders such as stuttering or cluttering.

(c) Speech disorder symptoms - Developmental dysfluency is defined as abnormal speech.^[2]^[3]

(3) The article's statistics, including the fact that no other articles link to the page, provide additional evidence for the term's relative obscurity. Basic stats for the article: 30 revisions since 2007-12-03 (+56 minutes), 15 editors, 86 pageviews (30 days). ~~(Note: Later today, I will add a couple of references to support my point #2.)~~ - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

Comment I think the nom has made a good case for this condition, or at least the terms for it, not being mainstream. Still, a search showed the term is used in some reliable sources, so it might merit a mention on Wikipedia. Note that we also have speech disfluency, which overlaps this article. Perhaps a redirect or a sentence mentioning the term in speech disfluency would be a way forward? --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 21:58, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the term is used in a smattering of reliable sources. Unfortunately, those sources assign different meanings to the phrase. If this article described those various definitions and noted that the term is used in only a small number of peer-reviewed scholarly articles and textbooks, the article would at least present accurate information, although I would still question the notability of the term. ¶ The speech disfluency article is only marginally better than this one. Adding a discussion about a confusing, obscure phrase to that article would need to occur along with an overhaul of the article as a whole. ¶ Most importantly, I appreciate you taking the time to comment! :0) - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

Keep This is an important topic in the field of stuttering (and nonfluencies in general). It is a much studied field as children often go through a phase of nonfluency and it is important to distinguish this from stuttering symptoms. The most common name used in the literature is probably “normal nonfluency” [17] so maybe a move to that is justified, but delete certainly is not. Slp1 (talk) 01:07, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response from OP: I wholeheartedly agree with your first two sentences. In your last sentence you wrote, "so maybe a move to that is justified". I initially thought you were referring to a Wikipedia article titled "Normal nonfluency", but there is not such an article on the English Wikipedia. I am therefore not sure what you mean by "moving" the article. Thanks! - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man. The traditional male pronouns are fine.) 20:46, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep OP's reasoning is flawed. There appear to be citations. Since this is about a term (de dicto), not what it signifies (de re), point 2 is fallacious. Orphan does not mean unnotable. From AnUnnamedUser ^{(open talk page)} 02:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as there is no rationale for deletion that proves that the article is unfit for Wikipedia. Orphaned articles are not necessarily bad because they are orphaned, as this can be fixed. A lack of recent changes means nothing about the quality of the article. Rare usage in scholarly literature does not inherently make a phrase non-notable. A lack of a consistent definition does not prevent multiple definitions from being present. If it were widely debated, then a disambiguation page could be made at this article title, and this content could be moved or merged elsewhere. However, I don't believe this is the correct route, as most definitions are similar. Utopes (talk) 23:32, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Psyop easily could be dubbed the Pixar of the spots world, given its reputation as the go-to shop for top notch animation and design. Known for now classic Coke ads such as "Happiness Factory," the company turned out more stellar work with the charming "Man and Dog" short film for the beverage giant out of Wieden & Kennedy.
With Director Fletcher Moules, the company also helped to develop the colorful backstory to the characters of Super Cell's popular "Clash of Clans" game in spots via Barton F. Graf 9000. Those included an unexpected Super Bowl favorite, starring Liam Neeson in "Taken" character as a vengeful game player, AngryNeeson52 (the live action portion of which was directed by MJZ's Tom Kuntz).
...
The company also brought unparalleled sophistication to paint advertising in an entrancing spot for Sherwin-Williams from McKinney. On a more massive scale, Psyop brought the game of soccer to epic, out of this world proportions in the over-the-top athletes meets aliens campaign for the Samsung Galaxy, via Cheil Worldwide.

You're going to get brainwashed. You're going to be sitting on your couch, watching your favorite show when it breaks for a commercial. You'll see a man napping in the grass next to a bottle of Coke and you'll be somewhat annoyed. But then zooooommmmmm, you'll be flying through a cloud of dandelion dander with a lazy formation of bumblebees. Then back down in the grass. You will see the expression on a grasshopper's face. The whole insect world will conspire around you, working together with orchestral precision to steal that guy's Coke. Pretty soon you'll stop wondering how long this is going to take and you start wondering how they're going to get the top off that bottle. And that is how Psyop gets you — with commercials that don't feel like advertisements at all, but rather minimovies. Commercials that, per the company's name, trick you into thinking they're something else — entertainment and fun. The aforementioned one for Coke, "Heist," has been viewed more than six hundred thousand times on YouTube. Another Coke ad, "Happiness Factory," hit two million views this summer, all powered by word of mouth and e-mail links sent friend to friend:
...
It's the same formula New York-based Psyop has perfected on dozens of other campaigns that have generated millions of views around the world: Come up with a crazy concept first, then worry about inventing the technology to make it happen. Check out its work for UPS: an entire world you could walk into that looks as if it were fashioned from corrugated cardboard. Or the vodka bottle that explodes through your monitor for Absolut. Or the animals of the forest dancing for Orangina. Every Psyop commercial is a digital universe to get lost in and amazed by and pass on to your friends.

Psyop started as a team of rendegade MTV design obsessives but has become another top player in prime position to address advertising's increasing demand for breakout ideas and imaginative storytelling. Known for its elegant and well-thought out visuals, the company demonstrated Pixar-competitive chops on the magnificent, character-filled world it created for Coke's feel good "Happiness Factory," out of WK/London. Meanwhile, it has added breadth and depth to its offerings with the addition of MassMarket, a design-oriented effects shop fronted by former Method man Chris Staves, and Blacklist, home to a fresh new class of international, media-agnostic talents.

Intruders? Yes, maybe five, ten years ago, when the industry might have considered a group of animator/designers inappropriate for a directors report. But now, no one's questioning if Psyop belongs. The collective was conceived in an experimental graphics lab at MTV?even there they were outsiders?but since breaking off to form a new company in 2000, Psyop has helped to reshape what we've come to know as commercials storytelling. Over the years, team members Marie Hyon, Kylie Matulick, Eben Mears, Marco Spier and Todd Mueller (seen below, from left) have injected their distinctive visual imprint onto the spots world, evident in notable work for Lugz, Starbucks, Nike, Honda and MTV. Meanwhile, they've evolved into something more warm, fuzzy and character-driven. Look no further than recent spots for Fanta, the beloved Coca-Cola "Happiness Factory" (and its upcoming sequel) for proof that Psyop has truly arrived. (AD)

Then there is the black-and-white imagery of the music cable channel VH1’s Music Awards campaigns. Images composed entirely of simplified, line-drawn people that look, move and act like real people in real time. The sense of reality jars with the minimal stylisation, increasing as each sting becomes evermore surreal. Both are the work of Psyop, the New York-based studio that is making TV animation as fresh as the best work coming out of London.
‘Psyop’ is a compound of Psychological Operations, borrowed from a dark governmental practice in mind and behaviour control.
It’s in the design arena that you find Psyop’s true mindset. It sees itself as a design studio rather than an animation production house, so it’s no surprise to discover that a large percentage of its creatives come from graphic design backgrounds.
Between them, founding partners Marie Hyon, Kylie Matulick, Eben Mears, Todd Mueller and Marco Spier previously worked at the design production studios of cable channels Nickelodeon, SCIFI Channel and the MTV Digital Design Lab. Almost as a cable channel design collective, the group came together to form a fully independent design and production team.
...
Psyop’s style has transformed other campaigns including a set of simple linework animated TV ads for Volkswagen and a music video for US hip hop group Coflow, in which live video footage follows a crazed black line of 3D graffiti that continually re-draws itself over any New York subway wall or train it comes across. In each case the work refuses to compromise on creativity.

Newly formed animation/design firm Psyop has entered into a deal with production house MTV Commercials for exclusive domestic spot representation. Both companies are based in New York.
Prior to formally opening, Psyop had already collaborated with MTV Commercials on projects such as Starburst's "Revelations" via Grey Advertising, New York, and a client-direct Pepsi Fruitworks spot, "Professional Fan League.
Currently, Psyop is pitching for a second Starbursts assignment, and is working on both a VH1 campaign and a TV Land ad. (VH1 and TV Land are sister cable networks to MTV.)
Psyop's roots are firmly entrenched in MTV soil. The animation/design firm was founded by three former MTV networks' colleagues: designers/directors Made Hyon and Todd Mueller; and technical director Eben Mears. Hyon was an art director at TV Land; she previously held the same job at sister networks Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite. Earlier in their careers, Mears was Nick Digital's chief animator, and Mueller was senior producer of on-air promos. Mueller had also created and produced the '96-'99 show amp, MTV's weekly mix of electronic music and experimental animation. Most recently, Mears and Mueller were at the Sci-Fi Channel (USA Networks), where they served, respectively, as visual effects supervisor/Inferno artist and art director.

The article notes:
A new spot and mobile game for the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) aims to change that. “Nightmare: Malaria” is a 90-second animated film created by animation studio Psyop that begins as a sweet bedtime story before quickly devolving into a hallucinatory trip that paints a picture of how the disease affects a body. Symptoms such as high fever, violent convulsions, vicious sickness, and attacks on the liver and brain are rendered with psychotic energy befitting a Hunter S. Thompson tale. Narrated with equal parts delicacy and force by Susan Sarandon (who agreed to participate after Psyop’s repeated pleas finally coincided with an opening in her schedule), the moral of the fable is that such suffering and fear can be avoided with a simple bed net. An 18-level mobile game, in which players avoid killer mosquitoes and collect teddy bear tokens amid fever-dream visuals, further impresses how diabolical malaria can be.

While the project was created by Psyop, a top animation studio, “Nightmare: Malaria” is actually the first client project from the company’s training program, The Establishment for the Greater Good (EGG), and was created by eight students over one summer internship.

Comment. Dear @Cunard: First, you found eleven sources. In the collapsed "Sources with quotes" box, you provided long quotes from these sources. Below the box, you provided more-concise summaries of some of these long quotes. Okay. Unfortunately:

Guideline section WP:ORGIND warns: "Trade publications must be used with great care. While feature stories^[1] from leading trade magazines may be used where independence is clear, there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability. This is because businesses often use these publications to increase their visibility.^[2]"
Ad Age, Design Week, Digital Arts, Shoot, and The Hollywood Reporter: these are all trade publications. This source states that Fast Company is also a trade publication. So, it looks like the only non-trade source you've found is the Esquire source. Unfortunately, Esquire also used Psyop to help create its augmented-reality magazine issue,[18] so I'm not sure that we can consider Esquire to be an independent source.
In general: You've made numerous useful contributions to Wikipedia. However, the sources you've brought to AfD have sometimes been shot down before. (One example: During a Data Design Interactive AfD, you found six sources; but Lordtobi shot them down, and the article got deleted. Another example: During the Olde Boston Bulldogge AfD, you found multiple sources which Atsme shot down; that article, too, got deleted.) Here, too, I may have successfully shot down all of your sources. Our Psyop article was created by User:Justincone's single-purpose account, back when he worked for Psyop. It's pure promotion. Why do you want the article kept? Do you believe that a puff piece written by a Psyop employee really makes Wikipedia a better encyclopedia?

^ A feature story is usually a longer article where the writer has researched and interviewed to tell a factual story about a person, place, event, idea, or issue. Features are not opinion-driven are more in-depth than traditional news stories.
^ "Trade magazines: Still a marketer's best friend?". Inprela Communications. 30 May 2017.

Keep on the basis of the Annie Awards. I am not convinced that we can use the nominations for these awards as proof of notability , but these were actual awards. I'm not sure a company producing one award winning production is proof of the company's notability , but having two distinct ones is certainly sufficient proof. There is no need to look for comments in other sources when we have such evidence.

As for sources, the Hollywood Reporter , LA Times, and Variety are the best sources for the industry. I'd certainly trust the HR over Esquire. Businesses frequently use all types of publications to increase their reliability. I know of no publication that is altogether free from it, especially for features. Fast Company is I think sometimes but not always reliable for notability. As for news asdistinct from features, that the HR reported the prizes is fully reliable evidence. There are undoubtedly other sources for this, including the official list, but HR is sufficient. There's no need for a quote farm to deonstrate a plain fact.

The other material in Ad Age is substantial, and I think goes somewhat beyond puffery, and supports notability But quotes calling something a "top company" is not evidence of its notability, no matter where published--it shouldn't be taken as a formal judgment.

As a more general comment: Even when I disagree with his conclusions, I find Cunard's style of arguments in general to be very helpful, and the need to deal with the sources in detail a reasonable challenge. A detailed analysis of sources is usually the best approach in discussions where determining independent and substantial is critical to the result. Using the information is a matter of judgment. In any honestly disputed case, I could generally find a plausible arguement for interpreting a source to be reliable or not reliable, or evaluating a subject as notable or not notable--the key word in this sentence is plausible. For exactly the same sources, reasonable people can come to different conclusions. The only way of making the actual judgement is consensus on the interpretation. Just like me, Cunard is sometimes, but not always correct. To find AfDs where he was not supported by the consensus is just as easy as to do the same with me, or with anyone who frequently comments here on non-obvious instances. The only way to be always right at AfD is to only comment at the trivial. DGG ( talk ) 19:35, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Dear @DGG:

You make lots of good points, including about Cunard's source-finding often being helpful.

In general, in cases like Psyop's, where a paid editor has created the Wikipedia puff piece, I start by assuming that it's best not to have Wikipedia cover the company at all. This is because the article may keep attracting more spam edits for decades, and it's very possible that there will never be enough watchers to catch and revise all of these spam edits. So, I start out with the presumption that the company is non-notable, and then I seek proof of non-notability.

I do accept it as true that Psyop has won two Annie Awards in the Best Animated Commercial category.

Perhaps it's true that Annie Awards for Best Animated Feature can be used to help prove notability. But perhaps Annie Awards for Best Animated Commercial, which are more-minor Annies, do _not_ help prove notability.

A) There isn't much well-sourced content in the actual Psyop article. The "Awards" table is completely unsourced, the "Original Productions" section is poorly-sourced, and the rest of the article is a mere stub. Perhaps we should temporarily delete or draftify the article until someone bothers writing some better-sourced content?

B) WP:GNG suggests that significant coverage in independent reliable sources is proof of notability, but does not suggest that awards can be proof of notability. Do you believe that, if you ignore the Annie Awards, and if you look only at the Ad Age and Cunard's other sources, Psyop is still notable?

Kind regards, —Unforgettableid (talk) 05:51, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the subject fails WP:NCORP. The studio's works having received awards or nominations thereof might make the individual works (potentially!) notable, but the studio does not inherit this notability. Most of the sources found by Cunard above include just trivial mentions of the company (sometimes just one per source) in connection to a film or commercial the studio produced, while failing to actually detail the company or its operations. Sources that do focus primarily on the company are #1, #2, #4, #5, and #8, of which #8 is a news blip, and #1 and #2 only name-drop some of the company's works and then move on. The remaining two do something similar, although each has a bit of extra info (such as both mentioning the founders and #5 going over its design philosophy). This, plus WP:ORGIND, as mentioned above by Unforgettableid. All in all, this is not significant coverage and would rather result in a stub acting as a WP:DIRECTORY. Note that potential (or evident) COI interference is an argument that an article requires more maintenance, but not strictly an argument for deletion.

Comment: Thank you, DGG (talk · contribs), for your kind words. I strongly agree with your comment in full.

According to The New York Times here, the Annie Award is "the animation industry's most prestigious prize". According to The Japan Times here, "the Annie Awards are considered one of the highest accolades in the animation production industry and often dubbed the Academy Awards for animation".

An animation company like Psyop that wins the Annie Award twice in one of the 11 production categories is notable.

Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) notes, "When evaluating the notability of organizations or products, please consider whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education." The Annie Awards committee believes Psyop has had a significant effect in the animation industry, having given Psyop two Annie Awards.

According to this book published by Cengage, Advertising Age (now called Ad Age) is "the most widely read and authoritative trade journal in the field". I consider the significant coverage about Psyop in the journal such as this article titled "Production Company A-List 2015: Psyop" to be independent of the subject and to be sufficient to establish notability.

Regarding Esquire, magazines and newspapers frequently enlist the services of companies so that they can do research and evaluation of those companies in their articles. This journalistic research does not make Esquire a non-independent source.

Here are three more sources about the company:

The book notes:
PSYOP'

PSYOP disseminates imagery, ideas and advertising from its headquarters in New York. Founded in 2000 by Marie Hyon, Kylie Matulick, Eben Mears, Todd Mueller and Marco Spier, the organization focuses on collaborative design with a distinct conceptual edge.
PSYOP is a term for government or military operations designed to modify the opinions, emotions, attitudes or behaviour of a target audience, thereby convincing them to cease resistance or alter their behaviour in a manner favourable to friendly forces. The company chose the name to express its belief that the media is as powerful in modern society as the military.
PSYOP is a fully independent creative design/production squad dedicated to the cultivation of mind over pixel who blend the disciplines of design, animation and live-action directing.

The book notes:
Comprising five creative partners, PSYOP is an award-winning design team whose conceptual approach to project work unites the disciplines of design, animation and live-action. Founded in 2000, PSYOP have since gone on to create visual motion graphics for the advertising marketing, video-gaming, broadcast and music video industries. Their distinct conceptual approach has culminated in projects for clients as diverse as Ford, Nike, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Volkswagen. Frozen Honey is the only wallpaper design by the New York based company. Created especially for the Maxalot Gallery, an exhibition space based in Barcelona that aims to showcase graphic design as art, and to provide a space where artist-designers can create works without the restriction of the boundaries that client prospects necessarily entail, PSYOP have produced a wallpaper that evades categorisation.
Frozen Honey's muted pastel colours, soft lines and painterly aesthetic imbue it with an ethereal, soothing quality. A kaleidoscope of pattern and indefinable shapes initially locate it in an abstract and ambiguous realm, neither painting nor digital art, which eludes easy identification. Simultaneously, however, the hyper-detailed finish pulls the eye into the artwork, where seductive pattern and sexual innuendo begin to emerge. This tension between transparency and high-finish, a painterly and digital aesthetic is what gives this work by PSYOP its distinct multi-disciplinary character.

The article notes:
In addition to animation shorts, some TV commercials, music videos and game trailers experimented with graphical styles by creatively using 3D computer techniques. For example, PSYOP, a New York base studio, has produced TV spots and music videos that are acclaimed for their concepts and aesthetics. In some of their works, 3D computer technology is applied in combination with graphical design to create unique visual styles. Todd Muller, one director in PSYOP, described the concept in the production of a music video: “we wanted to give it a two-dimensional quality, but still have a lot of three-dimensional dynamics. There was a lot of interplay between 2D and 3D” (Romanello 2005). This ‘interplay’ between 2D and 3D really facilitates the possibilities of artistic performance as displayed in their works. As for game trailer, Monster Farm 5 Circus Caravan (Fujita 2006) is one video produced by Digital Media Lab Inc. In this video, 3D computer techniques were applied to render out 2D graphical images as the approaches used in PSYOP’s TV spots. Both PSYOP and Digital Media Lab took advantage of the 2D graphical styles to play visual tricks. For example, the object in the foreground blocks a character while the camera is moving and the character appears from a different angle or poses in a different location after the blocking object moves away.

I am quoting these sources in addition to the earlier sources to further demonstrate that PSYOP is widely respected in the industry and has received significant critical analysis. The authors of a Black Dog Publishing book note, "PSYOP is an award-winning design team whose conceptual approach to project work unites the disciplines of design, animation and live-action".

The result was delete. The arguments for deletion have sufficiently more strength in their rationale than the arguments for keeping the article. A major topic of discussion was over whether or not the article subject has significant coverage to where GNG is met, or enough reliable sources that are independent of the subject that address the subject directly and in detail enough to where content can be written without the use of original research. Of those who argued that the article subject meets this criterion, one user listed a number of sources that they found, which was met by rebuttal showing that these sources don't provide significant or primary coverage of the article subject, but only trivial mentions that last only a few lines, or trivial mentions within page footnotes. Other users appear to agree with the notion that significant coverage isn't met, as well as the response in rebuttal. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:24, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG necessitates significant coverage and it's pretty clear that you have not bothered to read a single of the afore-dumped sources. None apart from Nussbaum devotes more than a couple of lines towards him. Trivial name-drops in footnotes (first and last-but-one cites) and back-cover profiles (sixth, seventh and eighth cites) does not count towards a passage of WP:GNG.

Sources tend to focus on what Rao has said or written, but that is sufficient to establish notability. For example,

In "Princely States and the Hindu Imaginary: Exploring the Cartography of Hindu Nationalism in Colonial India", The Journal of Asian Studies, August 2008, Manu Bhagavan says "Clarifying the logic underlying such a view [protect Hindus from the "Muslim uprising" of the Khilafat movement], Ramesh Rao, one of Hindutva's most vocal and popular contemporary advocates, states, ..." and then gives a lengthy quote, followed by an analysis: "Finely carving out details with all the finesse of a hatchet job, Rao quickly conflates Moplahs with Khilafat and signals the danger of both by dropping the word jihad into the mix..."
In "Indian-American community exerts growing clout back home", The Christian Science Monitor, 21 March 2005 Ben Arnoldy gives a paragraph to Rao's views.
The Coalition Against Genocide in their report Affiliations of Faith: Joined at the hip (PDF) says "Among the members of the Executive Council of the HAF [Hindu American Foundation] is Ramesh Rao, a professor of Communications, with an established reputation as a vocal defender of the RSS." and then goes on to discuss his views at length.
Antara Das in "An Interview With Prof Ramesh Rao: "North Indian Children Should Be Taught One South Indian Language Of Their Choice", Swarajya, 23 January 2016 gives an extensive interview inviting Rao to present his views.

Again, the essentialized Muslim is assigned the role of bogeyman, as no effort is made to understand or to distinguish between the peasant Moplahs of the Malabar Coast rising up against local landlords or the anti-Western imperialism nature of Khilafat or, for that matter, the complexities of the word jihad. ∯WBG^converse 05:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I asked you to view the t/p of the essay; esp. the sections about clarifying the section on notability and why it was not promoted to a supplementary guideline. As TonyBallioni said:- The section on notability in particular is just plain wrong: interviews can under no circumstances count towards notability as they are inherently primary sources, and counting them as towards the GNG defeats the point of our being a tertiary source. As someone has noted on the t/p, the essay used to be much clearer on the aspect of notability from interviews, before two paid editors (who have since got banned) modified a lot much of the content. ∯WBG^converse 05:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing in any guideline that says interviews cannot contribute to notability. What the interviewee says is of course primary, although it may be quoted. The interview shows media interest in the subject. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Winged Blades of Godric: I am intrigued by your comment: "Even more vitally, negative coverage". How does this affect notability? Aymatth2 (talk) 19:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Rao is not a high-profile-figure even in the RW eco-system; if we choose to exploit the two RS which covers him (Nussbaum and Bhagavan), we need to write some sort of overtly critical hit-piece on him, which has a high potential to fell afoul of WP:BLP. In case of low-profile-figures, whose sole notability is borderline and comes from entirely negative coverage, we generally exercise our discretion to not have an article 'bout them. ∯WBG^converse 05:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Winged Blades of Godric: You may be confusing sources that provide verifiable information and sources that establish notability. When you gutted the earlier version of the article you threw out a lot of content from reliable sources. I propose to restore that information, and to add more from some of the sources that discuss the subject in depth. We cannot say that because much of the discussion of the subject is negative we are forced to write an over-critical and unfair article. We can let the facts speak for themselves. The interviews are useful in giving verifiable quotes by the subject himself. As "one of Hindutva's most vocal and popular contemporary advocates" he warrants an article.

Delete much of the current sourcing the article relies on is poor quality and unreliable (why is it still in there?). Very little—apart from passing mentions—reliable sourcing from independent, secondary sources remains, either in newsoutlets or—apart from his own works—the literature. ——SerialNumber54129 12:41, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per SerialNumber above. None of the current sources support notability. Fails WP:NACADEMIC. GSS ^💬 15:54, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

@Serial Number 54129 and GSS: He is not notable as an academic but as a pundit. Four sources are quoted in the "Reception" section: Krishnan Ramaswamy is very favorable to the subject, while Martha Nussbaum and Manu Bhagavan are less positive and the Coalition Against Genocide is downright hostile - but known for careful fact checking. Are there any inaccuracies? Which sources are not reliable or independent, other than the subject himself? Aymatth2 (talk) 16:43, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not either of them but (as I have iterated before):-

(1) Manu takes one of his quote, as one of the many examples, that he uses in his careful dissection of the broader Hindutva-oriented scholarship. Manu goes on to spend precisely a couple of lines in rebutting him. Non-significant coverage.

(2) Ramaswamy's passage in that much-talked-about book is not reliable (esp. for counting towards WP:N) except for attributing his own views in pursuit of WP:V; the work has garnered a plethora of scholarly criticism. It may be prudential to note the sage words of a Harvard indologist, who once commented^[1] about these academics working in the intellectual backwaters of Hindutva :- ... churn out long identical passages, in book after book, sometimes paragraph by paragraph, all copied in cottage industry fashion from earlier books and papers; the whole scene has become one virtually indistinguishable hotchpotch ..... Much of these fringe academicians cross-cite each other but that does not add to notability.

(3) Martha Nussbaum devotes sole significant coverage, which is grossly negative. We need multiple instances of significant coverage.

(4) I personally like CAG but are they reliable? Any reputable scholarly volume which holds them in high esteem and/or references from it, extensively? The sole mentions that I am seeing across RS are mentions of it having successfully lobbied, to have prevented Modi from entering USA. ∯WBG^converse 16:52, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It is possible that the book he edited with Elst is notable, but as an academic, he isn't at this time; I cannot find evidence of him meeting GNG or NPROF. Furthermore, previous AfDs are not evidence of notability in any sense, though the comments in them may provide such. Vanamonde (Talk) 19:42, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It does seem to have a lot of sources and coverage in reliably published sources (3rd party publishers). The article could do with expansion but the subject is fairly notable and covered extensively, so the fact that the article is no good doesn't mean that it should be deleted. 38.142.216.106 (talk) 20:46, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative Delete: Articles balanced on tbe razor edge of notability. i dont see enoguh significant coverage to flesh out an biography of a living person with the reliability and rigor that we would normally demand for a BLP. That being said i am not dogmatically against this article and will try once again. Michepman (talk) 01:39, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
