2019–20 Lleida Esportiu season[edit]

Looking at this article, the references here are a lot of WP:PRIMARY resources which isn't really what you want in an article. The other references are in that same primary section which isn't good. So I think by that case, I reckon this article might fail WP:GNG.

I would also like to nominate these articles as well due to the possible failure of WP:GNG.

That can be found at WP:GNG. Failure to update an article that has passed our notability guidelines is not grounds for deletion. I am sorry that your pages are being deleted.

No claim of WP:GNG. No references, no references found online except IMDB, which exists for every film. Not even the actors, directors, producers or distributors seem to have any notability. The only notable matter is the franchise it parodies, which is one of the most famous in popular culture and of which there are many more notable parodies than this one.

Article about soccer player who appears to have played at least one match in the USL Division 1 (according to this, he was a 90th minute substitute against Montreal). I can't find anything to verify that he played league matches for Club Bolívar or anything else that could make him notable. Simply being under contract at a club like Miami FC or Club Bolívar isn't enough to satisfy WP:NFOOTBALL. Moreover, the utter lack of significant coverage in reliable sources indicates any presumption of notability under NFOOTBALL shouldn't hold. I did find an interview with him where he briefly mentions his soccer career (and his sports agent career), but the coverage isn't independent of the subject.

  • Comment I doubt this would have been here if the article had been properly sourced when created in 2006. I followed the US second division fairly closely around this time and he would likely have been written about locally if he did appear in 10 games, but attempting to source this from search engines now with "tech creep" will be difficult ("tech creep" being my made-up term regarding my theory it's often harder to find information on articles from 10-15 years ago than 30 years ago, since digital-only articles may not have been maintained or removed properly, and not stored offline/in the wayback machine.)

  • Delete. No evidence of passing WP:PROF. The only third-party source in the article (mysteriously not linked but online here) is a letter to the editor, by a notable researcher, that is quite critical of one of Adlaj's papers. That paper, Adlaj's most cited, appears in the Notices of the AMS (more a newsletter than a serious research journal) and only has 23 citations in Google scholar. That is not worth much as a basis for notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:22, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the following reasons:
    1. His article which appeared at the cover page of the Notices is not expositional but devoted to a new concept, so it was chosen for translation by the Chinese Science Academy. The fact that the Modified Arithmetic-Geometric Mean can be calculated in two equivalent ways, one of which is mediated via the AGM obviates the need for its future research.
    2. The Galois elliptic function (see slide 7) enables new efficient calculations such as the calculation of integrals of elliptic functions (see slide 16). The same idea was apparently used for obtaining record calculations of special values of the j-invariant.
    3. The Galois axis alone is sufficient to keep. Its introduction to rigid body dynamics is historical and irreversible. Quite intriguing to know that it originated in a formula for the speed of precession, which is symmetric in the moments of inertia. Once again, there are some nontrivial improper integrals involved here. This is quite deep with lots of applications. 46.242.8.153 (talk) 09:19, 8 October 2019 (UTC) — 46.242.8.153 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Delete No evidence of passing WP:PROF. If his work is as grand as the above single-purpose account says, then other mathematicians will eventually recognize it, and we can write about him then. (I rather doubt it is, though.) XOR'easter (talk) 13:22, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for too soon: The warning sign is "In 2018, ". That's simply too soon. The new idea might turn out to be significant and has lasting impact (which would make the subject notable). Or not. Wikipedia should not be in business of determining whether a new idea/concept is significant or not. -- Taku (talk) 00:51, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:SINGER. In terms of the latter, there is no evidence of chart success, gold/platinum album, major awards, etc. In terms of the former, the only news or other coverage that I can find is the same/singular "Gulf Times" piece that's in the article itself. A Google news/web search returns no other coverage. A search on the Irish newspapers of record (like the Irish Times) returns no coverage of the subject. The IMDB entry may support the "appeared on two reality TV shows" claim, but it doesn't support notability. (In honesty, if anything, it kinda works against it....)

The only one that can be found is the Rock, Paper, Shotgun one but the article is actually more about Speedball 2 and not WP:SIGCOV (also can be found in the article), the article cited unreliable Jay Is Games ref per WP:VG/RS (not written by Jay Bibby) and E4 Games listing overview.

Semi-advertorialized and poorly sourced article about an actor not properly demonstrated as passing WP:NACTOR. He's known primarily for supporting and guest roles, and is sourced entirely to credit lists on IMDb and TV Guide rather than any evidence of reliable source coverage about him. As always, actors are not automatically deemed to pass NACTOR #1 just because the article lists roles -- every actor can always list roles, so there'd never be any such thing as a non-notable actor anymore if simply listing roles exempted him from actually having to clear WP:GNG on the sourcing -- but even on a Google search, I can only find glancing namechecks of his existence, with no evidence of notability-building coverage about him. In addition, the article was categorizing him as LGBT, which I've had to remove as I've been entirely unable to verify that in any reliable sources either. And even the Young Artist Award, which he's templated for without it actually being mentioned in the article body at all, is still not an instant notability freebie -- it would be a credible notability claim if the article were properly sourced, obviously, but is not an instant notability clincher that would exempt him from having to have any reliable sources.

Update: One new source has been added since I initiated this discussion — but it's just a piece of "local kid does stuff" human interest coverage in his own hometown media market, so it is not enough coverage to get him over the sourcing requirement all by itself if it's the only reliable source in the mix.

Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Sources do not have significant independent coverage. I was unable to find anything better online––it seems that one of the subject's songs may charted in a local (Lagos) chart, but this does not meet the requirement of WP:MUSICBIO for the artist's work to be on a national music chart.

Please i need more time to improve the article, would be glad if the article is sent to draft rather than deleted to afford me more time to work on the article. Thank you.Preciousobichi (talk) 18:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems odd to me that there are no Nigerian charts that are listed as acceptable sources on WP:MUSICBIO. For me, if an artist is charting in a country of ~200 million people, it is notable. Looking at the guidelines, there is a lot of western bias in them when it comes to charts and awards that can be used to establish notability. There are other criteria that can be used to establish notability as well, not just whether the artist is charting well. Perhaps Preciousobichi can provide sources to establish that Fii3rd meets one or more of the other criterea? I don't think citing lack of charting in this case makes a good argument against notability due to the subject being outside the bias of that criteria. Hobbes345 (talk) 19:50, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of charting is not the basis of not meeting notability here: that comes down to the lack of coverage in reliable sources. The reason that I have specifically mentioned the lack of national charting is because the article does mention the local Lagos chart; I made this argument to head off editors taking a cursory glance at the article, seeing that it "has charted", and coming here to argue that of course it's notable because it has charted without realizing that the chart in question is a local chart.
As for which charts would be valid for meeting MUSICBIO, I'm not familiar with any offhand, but they would at a minimum need to be a chart for the entire country, such as this one which I found in a quick internet search. signed, Rosguill talk 19:55, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a city clerk, "notable" only for having been charged with (but not verifiably convicted of) a crime of no nationalized importance. Per WP:PERP, however, this is not appropriate: if a person did not already have a claim of notability that would already have gotten them an article anyway (which "city clerk of Southfield MI" is not), then she has to be convicted of a crime, not merely charged with one, before she can be considered notable as a criminal. Further, the amount of reliable source coverage shown here is not sufficient, either: apart from two pieces of purely local media coverage within the Detroit media market, the referencing here is otherwise entirely to blogs and/or primary sources like a city press release and the actual charge document itself -- none of which are notability-supporting sources. And even if she were to be convicted, it would still take nationalizing media coverage, not just a few pieces of local coverage in the Detroit area itself, to demonstrate that her crime was significant enough to warrant being permanently enshrined in an international encyclopedia.

  • Keep The nom states "" only for having been charged with (but not verifiably convicted of) a crime of no nationalized importance. " However, election fraud has been a topic major coverage from the President of the United States claiming election fraud and having numerous misinformation public. This event was covered by a joint press conference of both the Michigan State Attorney General and Secretary of State.

Per WP:Crime " Note: A living person accused of a crime is presumed not guilty unless and until the contrary is decided by a court of law. Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." As this is an issue that is getting national press coverage claiming that one party is working to steal election, this is of national concern. Major news network have been reporting on this matter.

Also Per WP:N/CA"As with other events, media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets the above guidelines and those regarding reliable sources." CBS, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NBC also have done reporting on this event.

Per WP:GNG""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material" There has been significant coverage of this person and event.

The notable of this will not be temporary, she will be used to show election fraud by both political parties, Foxnews already ran a story pointing out the Democrats gave this person an award, even though the office is non-partisan.

Per WP:POLITICIANS she also meets "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage." " A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists"

Even prior to be charged with a crime, this person was written about because she was the first African American elected to the City Clerk in a city with African American population of 70%. Southfield, Michigan

There are many reasons to keep this article, and to delete is only taking away the content of Wiki, plus I stopped editing many years ago because of these hill battles. That Roads are more notable than cemeteries, because more people write about roads then cemeteries. As a cybersecurity professor and lawyer, I took time to write this article and donated my hourly time to this project. So again, these meets so many guidelines its not funny. I can find so many stub articles that should be gone. Yet a article about election fraud during the midterm election of true fraud covered by every major news network. Jsgoodrich (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The event itself may or may not be notable, if it is, then the event may warrant an article, but not the subject of the BLP whose name can't be used unless a conviction is secured.
Can you provide the significan coverage by multiple independent sources to show that the subject is covered by WP:WELLKNOWN?
If not, WP:BLPCRIME applies. Our policy clearly states:
editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured
The information would have to be removed per WP:BLPCRIME. WP:PERP would also apply. and WP:BLP1E probably as well. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 18:17, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You need to read what you quoted again. You stated "BLP whose name can't be used unless a conviction is secured." That is not the policy at all. The policy states "Caution should be applied when identifying individuals who are discussed primarily in terms of a single event. When the name of a private individual has not been widely disseminated" Here her names was given out by the Michigan Attorney General and Michigan Secretary of State in a joint press confrance. No where does it say you can't name a person unless convicted.

"For relatively unknown people, editors must seriously consider not including material—in any article—that suggests the person has committed, or is accused of having committed, a crime, unless a conviction has been secured" This is not a relatively unknown person, she is a public official covered in many sources prior to the event. The policy says editors "must consider not including" the level of coverage and the fact that every major news reporting source covered the press conference and gave her name plus her office makes her a public figure. This is not some person who was a one-time unelected poll worker that did something wrong this is a career politician that is alleged to abuse the public trust. You are misreading the False light section of the policy which states "Caution should be used with content categories that suggest a person has a poor reputation (see false light)."


And if you look at WP:WELLKNOWN Under Public figures, which is "A public figure is a person, such as a politician, celebrity, social media personality, or business leader, who has a certain social position within a certain scope and a significant influence and so is often widely concerned by the public, can benefit enormously from society, and is closely related to public interests in society"
"In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." Jsgoodrich (talk) 12:13, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Jsgoodrich: You seem to be mixing policies here. I quoted WP:BLPCRIME and you are quoting WP:BLPNAME. Both are part of WP:BLP but are independent. One does not invalidate the other.
What WP:BLPCRIME clearly states is that if the subject is not WP:WELLKNOWN information should not be included unless a conviction is secured. I asked if you could provide the multiple reliable sources with in depth coverage prior to the event. I understood that you claimed that being the first African American city clerk she had "been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists". If that is the case please provide the link to those reliable sources. If not the current RS do not count per WP:BLPCRIME. Please keep in mind that we are building an encyclopedia and not a newspaper and in the case of biographies of living people we must take extra care to ensure policies are followed.
But again, if you do have the required sources with in-depth coverage prior to the event please provide them. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:34, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that election fraud is notable as a concept does not automatically mean that every individual allegation of election fraud is necessarily an independently notable event. Notability is not inherited, and that includes individual incidents "inheriting" notability from the overarching notability of a concept they technically fit into — you would still have to show a lot more reliable source coverage than this to make Sherika Hawkins permanently notable to the world or override our WP:BLPCRIME rules.

  • Delete the references used in the article are mostly non WP:RS. WP:MUSICBIO is not met and a search in news or books reveals nothing useful. There is no in-depth coverage by multiple independent reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 16:30, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Crystallizedcarbon Hello. I am Kylejinx (the author), just trying to figure out how this may be resolved. Which sites do you deem not notable enough? At least half of the sites that I have provided are in no way affiliated with the entity known as XCORPIIIO (Pandora, Spinnup, IMDb). Spinnup tracked the number of streams; no way could that be tampered with or done in his favor. Pandora recognized him as a promising artist according to their system's algorithm; there is no way that could've been done other than by them. Finally, IMDb is another site that merely lists the achievements of an entity. That page is not an IMDb Pro page, which insists that he was not included in the process of making it. Additionally, his music has been played on major radio stations via Pandora (Beyonce Radio, Lady Gaga Radio, Ariana Grande Radio, Rihanna Radio, Bruno Mars Radio, Top 40 Radio, etc), which is a merit of notability by Wikipedia's standards. I can provide proof of this as well, should that be needed. Thank you for your contribution to this discussion; I am hoping we will be able to figure a way for the article to remain on the site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylejinx (talk • contribs) 20:22, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Kylejinx: Please check WP:RS. IMDb is not valid, see WP:USERG neither is Facebook or Spotify or Instagram. If you can find independent reliable sources with in depth coverage, please present them here. If there is enough coverage it can be kept. If not it may be a case of WP:TOOSOON. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 20:43, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    @Crystallizedcarbon “If you can find independent reliable sources with in depth coverage, please present them here. If there is enough coverage it can be kept.” Firstly, I will be taking down the said forms of proof that do not qualify by the end of the night. Thank you very much for letting me know. Secondly: Just to clarify, the Spinnup stream count and Pandora recognition qualify as recognizable proofs of notability? Finally: There is an article currently being written about the entity by the company, “Indie Rock Cafe”. Upon release of this article, will the subject entity [XCORPIIIO] officially have enough recognition to be qualified as “notable enough”? I appreciate your working with me on this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylejinx (talk • contribs) 23:06, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kylejinx: Unfortunately, neither one of those two count towards meeting the requirements for inclusion. What's needed is in-depth coverage by multiple secondary sources. They must meet WP:RS and have to be clearly independent of the subject. Mentions alone are not enough either. One article even if it meets all the previous criteria would not be enough, but it's an indication that in the future if the group does receive the needed coverage it could be recreated. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 06:37, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Crystallizedcarbon Ok. Then, instead of deletion (because it did take an entire night to create), can the article just be moved to draft space? That way, once enough coverage has been had, it can be moved back to main space, instead of having to spend another entire night on it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylejinx (talk • contribs) 12:28, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Kylejinx: Personally I don't see a problem with that. The closing admin will probably take care of the move. Remember that you can also make a copy of the code on your local computer as a text file using notepad for example. Once enough coverage is added and when you think the article is ready you will be able to submit your draft for review. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:54, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Crystallizedcarbon Alright. I will do just that! Thank you for your knowledge and assistance in this matter; I really appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylejinx (talk • contribs) 21:05, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@JGHowes: I have been in touch with Wikipedia itself, concerning this matter already, and we have cleared/resolved it. Therefore, I do not find it necessary to dig any deeper into that specific topic. I also do not find this matter to even be necessary in this specific conversation, as a copyright dispute over a couple of photos is not why the article is where it stands, as far as being considered for deletion. Additionally, nothing that I wrote in the article was anywhere beyond the realm of neutral. There was nothing bias said at all. I made sure that I followed the rules and regulations concerning that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylejinx (talk • contribs) 02:00, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Kylejinx: It is done.

This is a character list with a fan site level of trivia, but with no reliable secondary sources. The only sources given are the show itself and an actual fan site. The show ended 16 years ago, so I don't think any new sources will surface. -- Fyrael (talk) 13:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – While there's no question that all of The Tribe articles are a mess right now (they all date to early in Wikiepedia's history, before many of our MOS had evolved to the current forms) – e.g. all of these articles are "over-written" and WP:OR-y – I'm not sure WP:NUKEANDPAVE is the right way forward here... It's also unclear to me what sourcing might be available for this show – for example, I've never really looked to see if any books about the series have been published, so this situation may not be as bad as it appears... If this does end up being deleted, I'll probably request that it be WP:REFUNDed to my userspace, as the this page contains useful info, even if it's too much in its current form. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd fully support finding an appropriate way for whatever information can be reliably sourced to be included somewhere on the wiki. As I put on the article talk page, I do hate seeing honest work disappear. I'm not sure I'm understanding what you said about sources possibly not being available though. It sort of sounds like you're suggesting that it's ok for information to have been included without good sourcing because there's no sources that cover it, but I'm guessing I misunderstood. Could you clarify? -- Fyrael (talk) 14:31, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing that when the show was airing, books were published on the subject. They probably would qualify as "fandom books". But I suspect they exist, and they could possibly be used to source character info. That's what I was getting at. (It's basically a WP:NEXIST argument.) But I've never really looked into it... I've only gotten to The Tribe articles recently, as I'm currently watching through the first three seasons, so I'm hoping to improve all of the articles as I go. (List of The Tribe seasons is another problematic article that either needs to be heavily rewritten, or deleted as per WP:NUKEANDPAVE...) But List of The Tribe characters is definitely problematic in its current form, variously violating WP:TVCAST (e.g. by listing cast alphabetically, rather than in order of crediting/appearance; including "episode counts", etc.). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • FTR, the more I think about this, the more I'm leaning "keep". While the article is problematic, and needs substantial trimming and rewriting/reformatting – and it's unlikely to ever get where List of Smallville characters is – it's also not that far away from getting to something approximating acceptable (at least in MOS:TV terms). (The biggest issue will be finding non-Primary source sourcing for it...) But I don't think deletion is the best course of action here... Still, I'll refrain from voting for the time being. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Formally going keep on this one – I don't think WP:NUKEANDPAVE is the answer here. Instead, what is needed is some liberal (copy-)editing, especially with an eye towards following the current WP:TVCAST – e.g. proper list ordering, removing episode counts and most plot-specific details, etc. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Character lists are not inherently necessary article splits. This one currently serves no purpose other than a collection of unnecessary PLOT details. There is no reason the main article cannot summarize the most important characters in brief detail, especially where a very large chunk of the characters seem inconsequential going by the lack of detail in their summaries. TTN (talk) 11:02, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That frankly displays an ignorance about the kind of show this is. As essentially a "soap opera", with dozens of "main" characters over five seasons, this is exactly the kind of series where a separate list of characters article makes sense. It would in fact be difficult to summarize character details at the main TV series article in this case, and it's probably better to leave a simple 'Cast' list there, while reserving more detailed character summaries for a separate list of characters article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 12:26, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Complexity of in-universe fiction does not necessitate the coverage of all of it. This is a general encyclopedia. TTN (talk) 12:39, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that trying to cover character summaries at the main TV series will unbalance it. Again, this is exactly the kind of series where a separate list of characters article actually makes sense. The fact that the current version is overly-detailed and over-written doesn't negate the idea that the character info should be covered in a standalone article. That's why my point is that WP:NUKEANDPAVE likely doesn't apply here – I think this article can be saved with simply editing it. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Then we simply need to adjust the coverage relative to the weight the section needs in the article. People put too much weight on characters, so there is this culture of thinking character articles are absolutely necessary. Episode lists or season summaries should cover the bulk of the context necessary, while character summaries exist to contextualize them. TTN (talk) 13:43, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is actually the bigger issue with The Tribe suite of articles – List of tribes from The Tribe needs to be deleted, and possibly so does List of The Tribe seasons (I'm not sure that a List of episodes article would be fruitful in this case of this series either). In fact, of the three subsidiary articles, the best case can be made to keep this List of characters article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:33, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- this is badly sourced fancruft, written mostly in an in-universe plot summary style. Just because a TV show has lots of minor characters that come and go doesn't mean we need to abandon common sense editing to accommodate them. This would be more suitable for a Wikia.

Gilas Pilipinas program just covers the management the national teams of the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP, he national basketball federation of the Philippines). Also contrary to WP:NOTSTATS as its stands and just lists the competition finishes of the Philippine national teams.

    Lack of WP:SIGCOV over R. Guha's acclaimed work.
    Mention of one of the subject's volumes over an extended bibliography is again textbook-trivial.
    Same for mention over back-cover, over a book, whose reliability, I can't ascertain at any case.
    Please provide multiple instances of significant coverage of Dharampal or his works, as necessitated by GNG.
    P.S:- To be fair, I thought that retrieving coverage about this subject will be fairly easy (per my knowledge of him and his works) but that does not seem to be the case. ∯WBGconverse 07:52, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't see Notability as an issue here. Three reference articles already listed (Vanity Fair, The Hollywood Reporter, Men's Health) are all specifically about the character himself more than about the show. He's also discussed in an essay in the book Uncovering Stranger Things: Essays on Eighties Nostalgia, Cynicism and Innocence in the Series, and he also has a whole page of discussion in Netflix Nostalgia: Streaming the Past on Demand which also references Vulture and Buzzfeed articles about him (Buzzfeed is a little weak). Trying to find those, Vulture also has a number of other articles on him: [4], [5], even about his hair. Talking about a fictional character's hair is something I haven't seen since "The Rachel", and it's not just Vulture, People The Wrap and potentially more. Do I think an article is necessary? I'm not sure, but the argument for deletion was notability, and that does not hold up. -2pou (talk) 17:46, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While his role in Carnivale could be considered significant, it's the only role I can see that would be. Apart from Carnivale, obituaries mention long-running series like Beverly Hills 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, ER, Two and a half Men, etc, in which he appeared in one or two episodes.

  • Comment: There is slightly more here than when it was last deleted, but not much. As far as I can tell, it was undeleted to become a redirect to Index of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters (which has since been deleted). That said, the most recent source is significant and independent (though I am unsure how reliable Elite Daily is). I see a couple more articles of similar depth hidden amongst the D&D fan sites and pinterest links produced by the google button above. Of all the D&D articles I have seen of late, this is the first that I am not inclined to simply kill with fire. Though I do wonder about an item whose only non-primary source is in the "In Popular Culture" section. The elite daily source does give some of the history of this monster, but they might have been pulling from this article (and creating a circular reference, yay!) Rockphed (talk) 12:01, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I removed it because, while I am not sure that it is notable enough for an article, when I actually looked at the source it was both significant and independent. Yes, it talks about the Thessalmonsters (and specifically the Thessalhydra) in light of their use in Stranger Things, but it then goes on to explain their chronological position (in a book that was released in 1983, the year that Stranger Things is set in), and gives a little exposition on things like "unlike the demogorgon which was invented in 350 AD and was a staple of medieval bestiaries, the Thessalhydra was a pure D&D invention". I'll see what I can find and try to put together a WP:THREE. Rockphed (talk) 19:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The creature itself is non-notable outside of being mentioned in "Strangers Things", which I agree is not enough to establish notability. As pointed out by Rockphed, the fact that the only non-primary source being used is for the "In Popular Culture" section is not a good sign. I also noted that source, and others talking about it in relation to Stranger Things, were entirely based on the false speculation that the creature (or at least something named after it) would be a major part of Season 2, which, as it turned out, was not the case. If Rockphed does come up with some decent sourcing, I will reconsider, but my own searches did not bring up anything that I would consider to be enough to pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 00:55, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I tried to get three and only found two, and, though they are both significant, neither is technically about "thessalmonster", but about "thessalhydra".
  1. Bettridge, Daniel (2017). The Unofficial Stranger Things A-Z. Kings Road Publishing. ISBN 9781786068507.
  2. "This Character From Dungeons & Dragons May Be A Big Part Of 'Stranger Things' Season 2". Elite Daily.
Which, oddly, say the same thing. Pretty much all they do is describe the monster, note that it came out in the early 80s, and describe the speculation that it was going to be the big bad of the 2nd season of Stranger Things (which speculation turned out to be false, but eh, whatever). If the two were not both so closely tied to Stranger Things I might have a different opinion. Or if I had found more than 2 sources that were significant and independent and even reliable adjacent (which is about where I think the two sources I listed are). All the other sources I could find were either rampant speculation opinion columns or only name dropped the beast (or both). I don't know if this is a target for merging into Monsters in Dungeons and Dragons. Rockphed (talk) 12:20, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - because passes WP:NACTOR. KartikeyaS343 (talk) 16:49, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Passing NACTOR is not a matter of just having had roles — every actor has always had roles, because having roles is the job description, so if simply listing roles was all you had to do to get an actor over NACTOR then there would never be any such thing as a non-notable actor anymore. Rather, getting an actor over the notability bar is a matter of reliably sourcing that he has been the subject of media coverage about his having had roles. And while the Variety obit is a start, it's a short blurb so it doesn't get him all the way to the finish line all by itself -- and legacy.com just aggregates the paid inclusion classified obits that every dead person who exists gets the moment their family places one, so that one is not a notability-building source at all. Moran requires more sources than this before he's notable enough, and nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have more than just an obituary. Bearcat (talk) 21:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the sourcing is not enough to pass the general notability guidelines. I am not convinced either source is reliable, one is absolutely not (IMDb) and the other one does not look to be. Even if it was, GNG requires multiple, reliable secondary sources, which we clearly do not have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:36, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have found and added some more sources, including some reviews of off-Broadway stage performances where he is described as "The galvanizing force"; "comes close to stealing the show"; "the cast is strong, particularly Michael P. Moran". As for film and TV - although he never had starring roles on screen, he is listed in IMDB's "first billed" cast for 8 titles: 6th in The Big Heist and A Perfect Murder, 8th in Harvest, 9th in Squeeze Play, 10th in Physical Evidence, 12th in The Turning, 13th in Scarface, and one of 12 in The Eden Myth. So I would say that he does meet WP:NACTOR#1 "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." NACTOR does not require starring roles, but significant roles, in multiple notable productions - and he had that. (NACTOR does not actually require "that he has been the subject of media coverage about his having had roles" - WP:AUTHOR specifically states "In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work ... or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews", but NACTOR does not.) I will add more sources as I find them. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:38, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
NACTOR most certainly does require sources — if simply listing roles was all it took to exempt an actor from having to have any sources, then no actor would ever actually have to show any sources at all. Every actor has always had roles, so our notability standard for actors would automatically have no meaning at all if simply listing roles gave them an automatic free pass over NACTOR #1. Rather, outside sources have to tell us that any given role was "major" enough to count toward getting the actor over #1 — and they have to do that by writing and publishing content that is specifically about the actor, and not just by verifying his existence in a cast list. So yes, adding new sources helps, but it's not true that actors don't require sources to pass NACTOR. Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is your interpretation - it's not what NACTOR actually says. And it doesn't use the word "major", it says "significant". RebeccaGreen (talk) 15:35, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's not just my interpretation. It's a simple, incontrovertible fact that every actor who exists at all can always list roles — having roles is the job description — so if all an actor had to do to pass NACTOR #1 was list their roles, and there were no requirement to actually show any sources to support the significance of the roles, then every actor who exists would be guaranteed a Wikipedia article and no actor could ever be deleted as non-notable anymore. Which is precisely why AFD very routinely deletes articles about actors who can't show actual sources to support their passage of NACTOR. And "major" vs. "significant" is what's called a distinction without a difference — the words are virtually synonymous, and don't mean different enough things to turn "but you said 'major' while NACTOR says 'significant'" into a mic drop. Bearcat (talk) 18:07, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment To answer the questions of those who say he has had no significant roles: 1. He has had significant roles on stage, as I noted above. 2. The productions that I named above were: The Big Heist, in which he played Louis the Whale; A Perfect Murder, in which he played Bobby Fain; Harvest, in which he played Henry Upton; Squeeze Play!, in which he played Bozo; Physical Evidence in which he played Tony Reugger; The Turning, in which he played Jim McCutcheon; and Scarface, in which he played Nick The Pig. The fact that he has also played "Flea Market Chicken Seller", "Party Guest", "Cop #9", etc, does not mean that he has never played significant roles. And I do not agree either that there is no difference in meaning between 'major' and 'significant'. RebeccaGreen (talk) 05:39, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a suburban arterial road, not reliably sourced as having any notability claim that would clear WP:ROADOUTCOMES. As always, every road in every city is not automatically notable enough for an article in an international encyclopedia -- the key to making a road notable is to provide context for what might make it important, not just to describe its physical characteristics. But this just does the latter, not the former, and for sourcing it cites one local news brief about the opening of a roundabout and a public transit map -- which means the second is not a notability-supporting source at all, and the first is not enough all by itself.

There are still plenty of issues, but notability doesn't seem to be one of them. A quick comment on "local," though: when the New York Times covers a symphony playing at Carnegie Hall, that's not the kind of source that can be dismissed with "just local coverage." That's a paper that serves a region with more people than most countries, reporting on a venue people travel internationally to play at and attend. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 06:02, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Of course it's different. Not only is it a national paper, but even the metro section covers an area with 35 million people, an above-average-sized country. A small town paper can cover routine goings-on in those areas (proportionate to its size), but there are 2,500 schools in New York City alone and who knows how many thousands elsewhere in the metro area. All of that (combined with all the various politics, weather, transit issues, events, etc.) has to fit in a few pages of that metro section (or otherwise be included in the national version, too). So yes, NYT has a "local" section, but it's absurd to say it's anything like a paper covering Ames, Iowa. So there's no room for smalltown-like coverage. As for grammar school 94 ... to make this point you had to reach back to an 1896 issue... when circulation was a few thousand. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:43, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't have to reach back to 1896. I merely grabbed the first entry I found that met my search conditions, which happened to be from 1896. And every mention of this group (except 1), is in the local section of the NYT as far as I can tell. That one is a review of the aforementioned performance at Carnegie Hall, which is probably in the local events reviews section. Rockphed (talk) 19:10, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Minimally sourced biography of a person notable only as a local district councillor. As always, this is not a level of office that automatically entitles a person to have a Wikipedia article -- the lowest level of office in Northern Ireland that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article to every holder of it is Stormont, while local councillors qualify for articles only if they can be referenced to a depth and range and volume of coverage that marks them out as much more special than most other local councillors. But the volume and depth and range of sourcing here is not demonstrating that: it's referenced to a smattering of the purely routine and expected local coverage of her death in the local media, with no evidence whatsoever of the UK-wide career coverage it would take to make a local councillor more notable than the norm.

Numerous sources discuss NewtonX (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11), and combined together, they show that it is notable enough to keep.

Ref 5. An article from paid news branding agency
Ref 6 Ref 6 is invalid as it it is an example of dependent coverage under WP:ORGIND.

In total there is 7 references mentioned $12million being raised from the press release. There is 2 which mention $3 millions.

  • Keep. The citations used in the article are reliable and with Scope creep calling some of the references press releases (when there is no indication that they are press releases), he is setting up a straw man. In addition to the Tech Crunch [9], VentureBeat [10], Forbes [11], and Inc. [12] publications--all of which are authoritative with respect to the field of business--NewtonX Inc. is quoted in other reliable citations, such as Forbes [13]. This clearly establishes its notability (making it pass WP:CORP and WP:GNG). desmay (talk) 03:38, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I agree with the point that the first AfD for this article was closed merely a month ago. And it is customary that there should be a reasonable amount of before a subsequent AfD is filed about the very same thing. Why? Because if things are rehashed endlessly after a decision has been reached, this is unfair to the new AfDs that need adequate attention to them. If we go round and round in a loop covering the same exact matter, it is not an efficient way of doing things. It is merely WP:Gaming the system. Wikipedia needs volunteer editors and we should make the doing the work as pleasant as possible and not make the work repetitive and therefore tedious. As far as the main issue of of whether the article is notable, I agree that the article meets WP:GNG and it also meets WP:CORP. Furthermore, I checked all these sources (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11), and only one could be argued to be a press release - namely Business Wire. Frankly, I don't understand why they have been called "press releases" by another editor when they are clearly not. The Associated Press, Wired, Kiplinger, etc. are highly respected news sources.

2. Forbes. Apart from being a new drop, a small paragraph the words Identifying the voice of the customer and garnering market feedback is paramount to success, particularly in B2B turns up in four sites, indicating it is from a press release. This fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
3. Focus on the previous company. Essentially a name drop and has no content.
4. This is growth of the company. Another tiny paragraph. According to WP:CORPDEPTH standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage, such as capital transaction, such as raised capital are considered trivial coverage and can't be used to prove notability.
5. Techtarget. It states You can move between plans, something you can't do if you're tethered to in-house hardware in quotes meaning its being quoted. Single sentence. It is primary. Not independent, nor indepth. That is so generic.
6. Not specific to the company. Merely another name drop. It fails WP:ORGIND as it is another quote. Not independent of the company.
7. Exact same words as Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator Announces $1 Million in Award found on seven other sites indicating it is a press release. Here they are saying the press release: [15] Fails WP:ORGIND
8. Another name drop, with no content.
9. Another $3 million in seed funding. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH standard notices, brief announcements, and routine coverage such a capital transaction, such as raised capital
10. This one came up before. An interview with the founder and only a small part talks about the company. Not independent.

I've heard the same argument in the previous Afd about excellent companies who provided business news and should trusted e.g. VentureBeat. Here is NewtonX press page, with VentureBeat on it [16], clearly indicating they are being used for advertising. No one is saying that these companies are not excellent bearers of business news, but like most US businesses subscribe to the advertising dollar. scope_creepTalk 09:40, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: "Apnews Its states: Germain Chastel, CEO of technology consultant NewtonX, says Twitter helps the company be more visible A google of these words turns up 4 sites with exact same wording, indicating it comes off a press release."
This is simply not true and attempts to engage in mind reading. Journalists and other web content creators often have deadlines or see no compelling reason to create original content for small snippets of words or are simply lazy. As a result, it is common to see small snippets of material copied on other websites. It is not like web content is some doctoral dissertation and the penalty of plagiarism will apply for copying small snippets. I often see Wikipedia articles with snippets copied for germane topics such as say clocks, oranges, giraffes, Civil War, etc. I personally find it very easy to put something in my own words so I don't copy web content word for word, but we should recognize that people have differing talents and attitudes about original content being on the web. For example, people in Asian or other more communal cultures place a lower estimation on the value of originality than someone in the highly individually focused West.

  • Comment: I found these additional articles at notable websites that are interviews/etc. as far as the executives at NewtonX that mention NewtonX (Forbes, Entrepeneur, IntelligentCIO, etc). [19][20][21][22] If the company was not notable their executives would not be getting interviews/etc. As far as WP: Coredepth, these newly cited articles I am mentioning that are at Forbes and IntelligentCIO do talk about the company substantially in the articles.[23][24] Press/interviews in these publications is hard to get - especially articles which substantially talk about the company. And the two new 2 additional articles which substantially mention the company aren't the only citations which do this (if you look at some of the articles cited by others above, you can clearly see this). If you ran a small business like a florist shop, realty franchise, corner store, it would be super difficult to get this type of press unless you were notable and a game changer in the industry. My family ran a small business when my parents were still working and the business certainly wasn't mentioned in Forbes, IntelligentCIO, etc.Knox490 (talk) 23:40, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
it would be super difficult to get this type of press au contraire. Ideamensch (link 15 above) actually says "We don’t turn down any entrepreneur who wants to do an interview". Applicants simply send in answers to a standard set of interview questions. Similarly, the Forbes New York Business Council articles are both written by the company's CEO as part of a paid program through Forbes itself. IntelligentCIO appears to be a product of Lynchpinmedia, which provides "Content Syndication" to the tech industry. In other words: you pay them and they put up ads disguised as articles on third party websites pause for suggestive eyebrow raise
Its actually not very difficult to get a company to publish your articles if you pay them for the privilege. I think WP:THREE would be worth following here: just pick a couple of good articles and stop flooding the discussion with this stuff. It's not persuasive.

Purpose for this article seems a bit too late. Not sure if deletion is needed or should it stay but, if it were a necessary article, it could have surfaced itself as an article way before Tom Cook collapsed. EROS message 14:30, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: On the one hand, notability is not inherited. The hotel and resort group owned by the now defunct Thomas Cook group is not notable just because Thomas Cook group is in the news. On the other hand, I haven't looked for sources on this. On the gripping hand, if we only made articles on organizations that exist contemporaneously with wikipedia, we would not have articles on Roman senate, Confederate States of America, or The Third Reich.

  • Merge/redirect: After a WP:BEFORE, it seems that the notability of the hotel chain is entirely solely related to the collapse of Thomas Cook as a whole. Much as how we don't have articles on people only known for one incident if they don't have independent notability outside of that event, this should probably just redirect to Thomas Cook Group.

  • Merge/redirect: This article is almost completely referenced to internal sources. Once you remove these, in accordance with WP:RS, there is nothing left. Dormskirk (talk) 18:10, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
