Frederica von Stade – Mahler Songs[edit]

Delete. note that it also fails WP:NALBUM and WP:COPYVIO. The main bulk of the article consists of long paraphrases of critics reviews - there are certainly violations of copyright.Smerus (talk) 06:57, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I chose not to paraphrase but used direct quotations because paraphrasing critical comments often misrepresents or distorts the original. It is not clear to me that these quotations constitute WP:COPYVIO. I don't have access to the Gramophone review any longer, so I can't make a quantitative comparison, but the NY Times quote is only two sentences from two paragraphs (with six sentences) comparing Frederika von Stade's recording to one by Marilyn Horne from a very lengthy article that discusses many recordings. In other words, the quotation is highly selective and cannot be construed as a copyright violation of the source. --Robert.Allen (talk) 05:28, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quotations of two or more sentences are not uncommon on the Wikipedia. For example, see here. The bulk of the linked section consists of direct quotations. --Robert.Allen (talk) 05:55, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The criteria in WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#Notability of recordings is from an essay by a WikiProject and does not carry the broad support of wikipedia policy. Further, this guideline section is currently being considered for removal for WP:NPOV concerns, as well as its conflict with the policy at WP:NALBUM.4meter4 (talk) 19:06, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NALBUM. The article cites two critical reviews from two important publications: The New York Times and Gramophone. This satisfies criteria one which specifically states multiple critical reviews in publications, including newspapers, is enough to confer notability. As for too much quotations, the quotations can be removed or trimmed to avoid copyright concerns. Deletion is not the answer.4meter4 (talk) 19:16, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. The article's COPYVIO issue has now been addressed by abridging the quoted reviews to uncontroversial length - it will no doubt be possible to supply further brief quotes in due course. The album was nominated for a Grammy for the best classical vocal performance of its year. For further coverage of the album, see Opera, July 2011, p. 870; Fanfare, Vol. 7, Issue 4, 1984, p. 203; American Record Guide, Vol. 44, Issues 1-6, 1980, p. 34; The Penguin guide to compact discs yearbook, 1985, p. 216; The Penguin guide to the 1000 best classical recordings, 2011; and New York Magazine, 23 Nov 1981, p. 80.Niggle1892 (talk) 11:20, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per 4meter4. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:41, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I think the assertion that the originial direct quotes are WP:COPYVIO is simply incorrect. Here is an example of The Washington Post quoting three paragraphs from an article in The New York Times:[1] (scroll down to the middle of the page). --Robert.Allen (talk) 23:04, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Something strange is going on here. How could an album featuring a monumental team-up of two god-like superstars be so obscure? It received no professional reviews, it is not listed at either Bob's or Johnny's official sites, and the best I could find is an empty listing for the CD at Amazon ([2]) but with no copies available. This might be a legendary "lost" album that started as a gleam in a superfan's eye and got out of hand on the interwebs. Perhaps I'm wrong, but it appears to me that this item never existed. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:34, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's very possible that this material does exist, but was never officially released. There's a whole ton of material like this that's housed at the Bob Dylan Archive in Tulsa, OK at the Gilcrease Museum Helmerich Research Center. The Bob Dylan Center is opening up there in 2020. Regardless, I too could find nothing currently published in an extensive search. Everything mentioning it mirrors back to wikipedia.

Maren McGuire[edit]

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

The subject of this article does not meet notability guidelines per WP:NACTOR. McGuire has appeared in one episode of Community and low budget/b-movies such as "Stripperland" and I Am Virgin. Despite this, she has not earned any "cult following" or made "unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment."

Rorshacma (talk) 01:05, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Haven't been able to find any good sources so far, but it does look like this might not be the primary topic. Google is showing More hits for the Metallica song and a late 80's film than the comic character, so any redirect might be better targeted, and Invisible Kid (Lyle Norg) be the main page or redirect for the character--Killer Moff- ill advisedly sticking his nose in since 2011 (talk) 10:30, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a non-notable hockey player. Will we ever remove the glut of non-notable articles created by Dolovis?John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:46, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. He has not played at any level that guarantees him an automatic notability pass, he is not properly verified as clearing the notability standards he needs to pass for the levels he has played at, and this is referenced almost entirely to his roster entries and press releases on the self-published websites of his own teams and thus is not demonstrating that he even passes WP:GNG on the sources.

Strong keep per WP:TVSHOW. The subject is about a nationally broadcast concert on a major network, PBS's Great Performances. Five seconds of searching took me to this review in The New York Times. The nominator has not done any research, but has summarily nominated multiple articles out of a personal vendetta against the article's creator and is not acting in good faith in my opinion..4meter4 (talk) 21:23, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The album fails all of the criteria of WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#Notability of recordings; the existence of reviews does not change that. Please WP:AGF; I do not even know the article creator and have no opinion on them. Softlavender (talk) 23:31, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - My understanding of notability guidelines is along the lines of this comment from Dodger67 in a recent discussion: an SNG can never be used to exclude a subject that meets GNG. An SNG is by definition meant to (temporarily) lower the bar for subjects for which proving GNG compliance is difficult. A topic that fails a Wikiproject's subject-specific notability guidelines but passes WP:GNG should not be deleted. Colin M (talk) 00:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing here other than basically catalogue entries. No evidence this is a notable recording. Guy (help!) 23:52, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Whether or not it passes WikiProject Classical music's notability guidelines, it would appear to pass WP:GNG (per the non-trivial NYTimes coverage found by 4meter4 above, plus the Gramophone coverage cited in the article), and that's enough. Colin M (talk) 00:30, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, I didn't notice at first, but Wikipedia:WikiProject_Classical_music/Guidelines#Notability_of_recordings is actually a Wikiproject advice essay, not a policy or guideline, so that makes it an even weaker basis for deletion.
Delete subject specific guidelines often exist because coverage of some subjects is so exhaustive but in fleeting ways that we would create more articles than would ever be needed or sustainable just on GNG. This is clearly what we face with politician articles, where GNG would justify almost every unelected candidate getting an article, but we don't want that. Mainly because it would make Wikipedia more presentist and Amero-centric, two things it already is way too much.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. note that it also fails WP:NALBUM and WP:COPYVIO. Part of the article is a long paraphrase of a critic's review - - certainly violations of copyright.Smerus (talk) 06:57, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does the coverage mentioned above not satisfy WP:NALBUM#1? Unlike the WikiProject essay cited by nominator, WP:NALBUM does not exclude reviews as a form of RS coverage. As for the copyvio issue, WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. If the majority of the article was plagiarized, then yeah, maybe it would be better to blow it up. But that doesn't seem to be the case here - as far as I can tell, it's just a problem of injudiciously long quotations in the "Critical reception" section. No need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Colin M (talk) 14:50, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This isn't really only an album. It's a live PBS television broadcast that was recorded and then secondarily released on DVD and CD. The relevant policy is WP:TVSHOW which only requires that it aired on a major network. PBS is a major network.4meter4 (talk) 19:34, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources. Opera News included the work in it's 2016 review of the work's re-release as a part of a collection of Frederica von Stadt's material. This shows longevity which further lends to notability. See [3]. The work has also been broadcast on WQXR and it charted at number 10 on the top classical music sales (see here) in the December 1996 publication of Billboard.4meter4 (talk) 14:52, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep per reviews in Gramophone, NYT and Opera News. The article meets GNG. So the Classical Music page cited (not even an SNG, but an essay) is not compelling evidence. As for the "fails NALBUM" argument, saying that an article fails some SNGs tells us nothing—rather, it needs to fail all SNGs and GNG to be non-notable—and I hope I'm misunderstanding the nominator when they dismiss "the existence of reviews" as if secondary sources are irrelevant. (The !vote is "weak" as I can't actually view two of the sources, but I'm taking it on good faith that the reviews are substantial.

Keep per criteria 1 at WP:NALBUM. In searching I found published reviews in New York magazine, and discussion of this work as part of an important recording legacy of Haydn works in The New York Times. The work was also critically reviewed or used as a comparison against other recordings in other critical commentary in several other NYT articles over several years, including: [4], [5], [6], and [7]. Offline I located a review in Opera, volume 27, page 1029, 1976. The work also has an entry in the reference work The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs, Ivan March, Edward Greenfield, Robert Layton, Penguin, 2001, page 622.

Keep Meets the criteria of WP:NALBUM. It has multiple reviews. In addition to several in Gramophone over the years and Stereo Review (all already cited in the article), there's one in the New York Times [11] and a one paragraph entry in the The Penguin Guide to Recorded Classical Music (rated "Outstanding" and the only entry for that opera). It was broadcast in its entirety on WXQR [12], and excerpts on other NPR stations. e.g. [13] and on the BBC [14] and Radio France [15] to name a few. It is also the first full-length recording of an important work. The criteria from WikiProject Classical music cited in the nom is merely a WikiProject essay, unlike those at WP:NALBUM which is an official guideline.

Comment I agree with you that the value of a track listing in an article about a recording of an opera or a symphony is debatable, but I think that in the case of a disc like this one, a track listing is almost essential. Surely we can't have articles about recordings of music without telling readers what the music is?Niggle1892 (talk) 14:24, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The criteria in WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#Notability of recordings is from an essay by a WikiProject and does not carry the broad support of wikipedia policy.

The result was keep. The deletion rationale is that it fails a project criteria. The keep rationale is that it passes a SNG. While passing an SNG is not necessarily enough evidence of notability should it be challenge directly, given that there was no argument against notability on the basis of the SNG, the keep consensus holds.

Comment, this article has listed reviews from 2 different magazines (so technically meets no. 1 of WP:NALBUM) - Gramophone and Sound & Vision, and although, as i've stated in other similar afds that past consensus amongst classical album wikieditors appears to require more, i'm leaning towards retention of this article as the multiple Gramophone reviews listed by different reviewers over decades points towards the album's significance.

Comment - It looks like a number of these recent nominations have print media reviews. Why do you feel they don’t meet point number 1 of what you cite in your nomination? The reception sections could use some trimming/clean up, but they seem to feature multiple third party reviews. Honest question, as this music is al well outside of my areas of knowledge. Sergecross73 msg me 11:42, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Sergecross73, the nominator was influenced by the essay by WP:WikiProject Classical Music cited in the AFD rationale above. However, the very stringent notability criteria in WP:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#Notability of recordings does not carry the broad support of wikipedia policy. Further, this guideline section is currently being considered for removal for WP:NPOV concerns, as well as its conflict with the policy at WP:NALBUM. That discussion can be found at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines#NPOV Problems with recording guideline. Also relevant is this proposal at Wikipedia talk:Notability (music)#Proposal to permanently remove hatnote to Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Guidelines.4meter4 (talk) 02:05, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, yeah, “reviews are not enough” is not a mantra I’ve commonly seen around the project. I think that essay needs to be re-evaluated. It doesn’t gel with the WP:GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 02:31, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Move to list of gig economy companies. While the number of !votes is close, the voting pattern - some delete votes, then a substantial improvement to the article, then exclusively keep votes, including a withdrawal from the original nominator - is a clear sign to keep. Based on the suggestions from Cunard and 4meter4, and the current content of this article, I will go ahead and move to list of gig economy companies. I believe that these updates to this article also address the comments from each of the delete voters, who all found the previous definition of "on-demand companies" vague and inconsistent, one even citing Gig economy as a more clear term.

Keep and rename to list of gig economy companies per the significant coverage in reliable sources.
The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists, which says, "One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list." I will show below that "gig economy companies" has been treated as a "a group or set by independent reliable sources".

  The article uses the Congressional Research Service's definition of the gig economy as:
  the collection of markets that match providers to consumers on a gig (or job) basis in support of on-demand commerce. In the basic model, gig workers enter into formal agreements with on-demand companies to provide services to company’s clients. Prospective clients request services through an Internet-based technological platform or smartphone application that allows them to search for providers or to specify jobs. Providers (gig workers) engaged by the on-demand company provide the requested service and are compensated for the jobs.
  The article further notes:
  The gig economy is generally charac terized by short-term engagements among employers, workers, and customers. In this sense, the gig economy is not new. Instead, it represents a digital version of the offline atypical, casual, freelance, or contingent work arrangements characteristic of much of the economy prior to the middle of the twentieth century and that have reappeared in the past thirty years.
  What differentiates work in the gig economy is that it operates in a new work ecosystem that is managed by online platforms, which broker work between employers and workers. Hence, digitization is fueling a new peer-to-peer schema that has important implications for the nature of work and the quality of jobs.
  The majority of gig companies can be located in one of four categories of work platforms: crowdwork platforms, transportation platforms, delivery/home task platforms, and online freelance platforms. The form and function of companies within each platform are relatively homogeneous, suggesting an organization field that is becoming more established (Aldrich and Ruef 2006).
  The article provides a list of gig economy companies in each of four categories.
  It lists gig economy companies that are "crowdwork platforms" as:

Comment: I rewrote the article.
The article previously had 0 sources. It now has 33 sources.
The article previously did not have a clear definition of "on-demand companies". I have reframed it to discuss "gig economy companies" and provided a clear definition of what the "gig economy" is from the public domain source the Congressional Research Service.
The list previously almost only had American companies. I have added companies based in Australia, China and the United Kingdom.
The article no longer violates Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists. It instead now clearly passes Wikipedia:Notability#Stand-alone lists.

John O'Shea (politician)[edit]

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

WP:BLP of a politician, notable only as a local authority councillor. As always, this is not a level of political office that confers an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL -- politicians at the local level get articles only if either (a) they serve in a major metropolitan global city on the order of London, or (b) they can be referenced to a depth and range of media coverage that makes them much more special than most other local councillors. But that's not what this is doing; about half of its footnotes are primary sources which are not support for notability at all, and the other half are simply glancing namechecks of his existence in purely routine local coverage of local politics -- exactly zero of them are actually notability-supporting reliable source coverage about John O'Shea for the purposes of establishing that he would be more notable than the other 59 councillors in North Tyneside who don't have articles at all.

Apologies. As the person who created the page I thought the person in question had an usual political career at the Local Authority level. It is very usual for any Councillor to serve on three different authorities. I also considered that since the person in question was the Deputy Leader and the Leader of the Opposition on a major metropolitan local authority that passed the notable test and why he is more notable than any of the other 59 councillors. I would like the page to remain. However this may just be because I am sentimental given it's the first page I have created. I will happily listen to people with more experience.TeaAndCake1819 (talk) 09:50, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does not seem notable enough for an article on its own, but merge seems like a possible way to go. However I would note that further to the point Peterkingiron raises, both this and the article on Causey Mounth seem to be a little contradictory as to the road's status with the Causey Mounth article describing it as a drovers' road, but also suggesting it was the "main highway between Stonehaven and Aberdeen" and if this was a coaching in that would suggest that it was more than just a drovers' road.

Keep. The New York Times obit it a very significant indicator of notability. In addition, I found additional coverage in Google Books which either discusses him or shows his relevance as an academic through citations of his work: here, here, here, here, and here.

The 5 citations above are all trivial mentions of this rabbi, virtually all of which are in dealing with his more famous brother. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with that sentiment. The NYT has a paid obituary section which is not notable, and also an un-paid obituary section which only covers notable people of significance and is highly selective. This obituary falls in the latter section, being an unpaid for obituary.4meter4 (talk) 20:15, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I couldn't find a single source that convinced me "jumpgates" should have a page of their own. I don't understand why this page exists when it serves the exact same function as Wormholes in fiction. Any content of high enough quality (i.e. not original research) could be salvaged and added to that other page and have "Jumpgate" redirect there. Although, as ZXCVBNM mentioned, redirecting it the MMORPG of the same name could also be an option. As a a third option, it could be turned into a disambiguation page that defined the term and links to both Wormholes in fiction and Jumpgate: The Reconstruction Initiative. PraiseVivec (talk) 17:14, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to New Gods.

Redirect to USB flash drive with a redirect from there to Hyperdrive. The hardware meaning is much more common than the science fiction one.

Delete and Redirect to USB flash drive, per nomination. As mentioned, the term being used in regards to the real-world product is much more common than the seldom used synonym for hyperspace, and would be more useful as a redirect to that.

At this point it's more of a technicality - character =/= comic book series.

Delete - The lack of availability of English language sources doesn't inherently signify that there will be Indian sources. I'm sure the ratio of notable to not-notable characters are similar. The source in the article seems to mention the topic in the capacity of a passing mention. I'm sure the author is notable, but that doesn't trickle down to the characters. TTN (talk) 11:05, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

TTN The opinion of local contributors who are familiar with the culture should be given weight in such cases that involves a vernacular language topic. The existing sources can help to make a calculated assumption on the presence/absence of vernacular language source. It is not that the English language sources dont exist, it is just that the number of them are not as much as the sources for English language comic books. So one can easily make mistakes in trying to judge the notability on the number of available sources. The book "Adventure Comics and Youth Cultures in India"^[1] has a section titled "Glossary of key Indian adventure comic book characters" where Fighter Toads is described in a para. When a book on youth culture covers the subject in a list of "key" characters it must mean something. If I get more time and dig more I am sure I will be able to find more but my point is, we can judge based on what we have at hand. I hope you will agree and reconsider your !vote to support. --DBig Xrayᗙ 11:38, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Two sentences in a book is not significant. I'm not saying sources don't exist, as I lack the lingual abilities to confirm that, but I won't simply believe they exist on good faith either. What people don't seem to understand is that even if this is deleted, it can be brought back if notability is proven. This article has existed for 13 years. It has been given the benefit of the doubt. There's the idea that there is no need to rush things, but that is abused to keep stagnant pages around. TTN (talk) 11:51, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, the healthiest thing to do would be to mass redirect most of these articles to either the publisher page or author pages, and then work to split them out from there. I'm sure without a doubt India has plenty of characters that are notable, but it seems to have the Marvel/DC issue where people got out of hand with making pages. TTN (talk) 11:57, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest you to read WP:BIAS (if you havent yet) since you are claiming the exact opposite. We don't go on drives, deleting stubs claiming that "it was stagnant for x years". A Stub may remain stagnant due to lack of a volunteer editor interested to contribute there. It doesn't necessarily mean the stub was non notable. --DBig Xrayᗙ 12:02, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that that can be used as an argument for inaction. It's not that different than people arguing the same about other characters, but now there is a language barrier. It's up to editors creating pages to prove notability. I get that sources could potentially be abundant for a topic, but it could also be there is nothing. This isn't an assumption of bad faith on your part at all. I just don't have any faith in the waiting game after so many people have promised results for nothing to happen. So many projects concerned for a minute, who then just go on to not even deal with the articles until I once again bring them to AfD. TTN (talk) 12:20, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inspite of WP:BIAS, I have already presented a reliable source, a book from a reputed publisher Taylor & Francis, on youth culture, that covers the subject, in a list of "key" comic characters, I am not sure why you are choosing to ignore this. This IMHO is enough to argue that the article should stay. If you don't feel the same, then there is a difference of opinion and we can agree to disagree and let AfD run its course. Thank you for responding and engaging in the discussion. cheers. --DBig Xrayᗙ 13:40, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source itself is reliable, but it provides nothing in particular about the characters. Being present in a reliable source is not the criteria, but rather being present in enough of a capacity to add substance to the article. One single substandard reference is not enough to latch onto the possibility of future improvement. TTN (talk) 15:16, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you agree that the source is reliable. Now, Do you agree with the source, when it says that Fighter Toads is a "key comic character in India" ? --DBig Xrayᗙ 18:28, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yet it's not mentioned in any meaningful capacity. One person's opinions on what constitutes key characters isn't particularly helpful in determining potential notability. The glossary gives a cursory glance of some 50-ish characters. The likelihood of every one being notable is pretty low. It's not enough to give consideration that there may be more sources. TTN (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The book (that you agree is a reliable source) calls Fighter Toads a "key comic character in India" , and yet you refuse to agree with the book, and call it non notable.

Thanks for the kind reply User:Killer Moff. It is understandable that you have not heard about this considering that it is an Indian comics published in Hindi language.

They are all Reliable Independent sources with decades of reporting independent work.

Keep - The article defintiely has promo issues but these can be addressed through editing for quality. In terms of notability it meets the standards required by WP:ORG based on the following references: 1 2 3. The West Australian, Evening Standard, and Financial Review are all WP:NEWSORGs, the coverage extends over years, WP:AUD is met since these are national/regional sources. FOARP (talk) 08:10, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ if those really are the three best sources. The West Australian article is very obviously a re-hashed press release - not independent, does not contribute towards notability. The Evening Standard one is also dubious - a bit of background, followed by some puffy quotes from their managing director, including some of their handy hints on choosing the right product, and information about pricing and where to buy - this looks to me like an paid article of some sort, rather than a genuinely independent piece of journalism; also worth noting that the Evening Standard is a free sheet, with no consensus as to reliability per WP:Perennial sources. I can't access the Financial Review article, but I note that it's written by a 'contributor' - this suggests a form of WP:UGC, as described at Perennial sources under 'Forbes.com contributors', which would not be useful in establishing notability. I'd be looking for better sources than this to be satisfied that NCORP is met; happy to reconsider my vote if better sources are identified. GirthSummit _(blether) 06:52, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1) "Obviously a re-hashed press release" - OK, where's the press release? 2) So Evening Standard is reliable then, being a WP:NEWSORG, 3) "Contributor", otherwise known as a free-lancer, but is still a pass for WP:NEWSORG. Forbes is unreliable because of its lack of a proper editorial policy and essentially being a self-publishing platform - obviously not true of Financial Review.

PS - "if those really are the three best sources...". Honestly, you're supposed to confirm that for yourself, that's the whole point of WP:BEFORE. If you weren't satisfied with those three sources then you should have dug further and looked to see whether there were more there: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Notably this includes negative coverage which cannot simply be fobbed off as PR hype - really, I sometimes think that negative coverage of Corps is the only kind of coverage that won't simply get dismissed as PR at AFD. FOARP (talk) 07:01, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

1) Look at the wording of the article - two sentences of background, followed by a bunch of statement from the company. They haven't got an opinion from an independent expert, there's no information you wouldn't expect to see in a press release, it's all 'Management said...', 'MSG said...', 'Managing Director Roby Zomer said...'. It's all exactly what you would expect to find in a press release, and nothing else. 2) There are different standards of NEWSORG - some of them are explicitly depracated. This one has no consensus on reliability, which is different from saying that it is reliable, so I would use it with caution, remembering that it's a free sheet that relies entirely on advertising revenue and advertorials for its income. In this particular article, they're literally telling you where you can buy the stuff, how much it costs, and allowing the MD to tell you all about the product and even give tips about choosing the right one for you. Again - no commentary or analysis from independent experts. It looks like a paid piece to me, or the sort of article they'd agree to run if you simultaneously bought a chunk of advertising. 3) I am not familiar enough with the Financial Review to know whether their editorial policy with regards to contributors is any better or worse than Forbes's - I can't see anything on RSN about it. I also can't access the source, so I offer no opinion on that source and would appreciate others' views on it.

WP:BEFORE gives instructions for things you should do before nominating an article for deletion - I am certain that DGG did a BEFORE prior to doing that. When I said 'the best three sources', I meant in a WP:THREE sort of way - when paid editors pack out articles about their clients with numerous junk sources, it's sometimes more efficient to identify and discuss the best ones rather than forcing everyone to wade through all of them individually before expressing an opinion. If there are better sources in there, which you think establish notability, I will take a look, and will happily change my vote if I'm convinced. GirthSummit _(blether) 10:19, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think all 12 (the three original ones plus the eight additional ones) are relevant, being instances of significant coverage in reliable sources indicating notability of the subject as required by WP:ORG, WP:AUD etc. WP:BEFORE is the process the nominator has to go through, but is also up to !voters to satisfy themselves that it was done. We should not simply !vote "delete" because something was nominated for deletion saying "It's up to them to do the WP:BEFORE, not me". FOARP (talk) 11:11, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FOARP, That's not what I did. I reviewed the three that you highlighted, assuming them to be the best ones, and found that two of them were not independent, and one I couldn't access but I wasn't sure of the reliability. I also had a look to see if anything better jumped out at me, but I'm not going to trawl through every single trash source a paid editor adds to an article when an administrator has already done the BEFORE. I am however prepared to review any sources that an editor in good standing and without a COI, such as yourself, believes contribute towards notability, so I'll look at the other ones you've put forward later today and see if they sway my opinion. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 12:16, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Girth Summit - I agree that it is simply not worth looking at sources that are clearly PR of one kind or another. I skipped over every GNews hit that I didn't recognise as an RS. This is clearly a company which has engaged in aggressive PR and SEO (hence the negative stories are all after the tenth page of GNews results) so there's a lot of rubbish online about them. All the same there are also instances of what appears to be Sigcov in RS sufficient, in my view, to sustain notability, though of course intelligent people can differ on this. FOARP (talk) 12:32, 11 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FOARP I've reviewed the sources that you linked. I can't access a couple of them (the Financial Times and the Australian), and a couple of them are still a bit 'press releasey' (e.g. ITNews), but I'm coming round to the view that there is enough coverage there. Can you confirm that the FT and Australian are giving the company significant coverage in their articles? Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 06:53, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I now can't access that FT article either, but from memory the part covering MGC was two paras and included a precis of the company. The Australian article is no longer accessible for me either, but was a multi-para story entirely about the conflict between Ross Smith and the board of MGC. FOARP (talk) 07:04, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FOARP, thanks. In light of the fact that there are apparently sources out there, which I can't access, and which may demonstrate notability.

Delete - Very minor D&D creature, with virtually no reliable, secondary sources demonstrating any sort of notability to the topic. That said, there are a number of sources available for a potentially more notable programming language called "Formian", so a redirect to the D&D monster index might not be a great idea due to that.

Delete - The fictional region completely fails the WP:GNG and has absolutely no real-world notability, as demonstrated by the complete absence of any reliable, secondary sources.

Withdraw Per above, I request the nomination be withdrawn. I honestly did not take roller hockey into account and I apologise for my ignorance towards it. Tay87 (talk) 15:39, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment You might want to reconsider your withdraw vote. For one thing you can't withdraw once another editor has also voted to delete the article. More importantly, there's no evidence he competed at the highest level as WP:NSPORT requires. The Roller Hockey World Cup, which started in 1936, is the internationally recognized world championship for roller hockey and there's no evidence that he ever played in it. Playing in the only pro league in North America does not mean he played at the highest level--especially when the average pay was $314 a week [26] for around 10 weeks and the players were predominantly minor league ice hockey players trying to stay in shape. Papaursa (talk) 03:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Papaursa: Oh. Well, that's a interesting one to say the least. DJSasso messaged me about Pro Roller Hockey and how players can be notable for more than one reason, or in this case other sports. And it's true, I never once put Roller Hockey into account when doing the nomination, so I certainly appreciated the heads-up he gave me regarding this. But now I just feel confused. Tay87 (talk) 07:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would point out the Roller Hockey World Cup is actually for a different sport. That is for Roller hockey (quad) and not Roller in-line hockey which he played. -DJSasso (talk) 10:38, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Did he ever compete at the IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship? I believe that is the same sport and if he competed there I would agree he meets WP:NSPORT and will readily change my vote. Papaursa (talk) 22:37, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Based on my comment above, there's no evidence he ever played at the roller hockey world championships so WP:NSPORT is not met. In addition, he fails to meet WP:NHOCKEY and there's no significant independent coverage to support a claim that WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 03:33, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SPORTBASIC defines the highest level of the sport also as the highest professional league. Which Roller Hockey International was and which he played in, and which received a lot of press as well as primetime sports coverage while it existed. -DJSasso (talk) 10:34, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So you're claiming that everyone who played in a short-lived, now defunct, roller hockey league is automatically notable? Do you have any evidence this was the highest level of pro roller hockey in the world? I can see high school football players on primetime TV but that doesn't make them all notable. And they're pro in the sense of making money, not in earning a living. Some organizations/sports differentiate. Papaursa (talk) 22:37, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- English language sources [27], suggest that viewership for some episodes is above 25 million, again strong indication of notability. Either way it readily passes NTVSERIES having been on FujiTV for decades. matt91486 (talk) 11:01, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  Matt91486, do you plan to expand it at all? Or do you want it kept for the sake of it? -- /Alex/₂₁ 11:31, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Whether or not I plan to expand it is entirely irrelevant for its notability. I do not have Japanese language skills, so I would not be particularly well suited for expanding it. But a stub is not a valid reason for deletion. matt91486 (talk) 21:23, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Matt91486: FWIW, Nakayama says 25 million people watched that episode, and millions more watched online. "People in China and Korea are very interested in what people in Japan are interested in," he says. is a primary source that would be unacceptable for that claim, and given the implication that the online millions were overseas viewers who couldn't watch on their TVs and that 25 million people in Japan (1/5 of the population of the whole country) tuned in is a bit ... unbelievable. There are lots of different ways to write "25 million" that are acceptable in formal written Japanese so I'm not going to bother to check, but a quick Googling for the most intuitive one for me brought up only a blog about the number of Twitter followers Conan O'Brien has. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 23:46, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An entirely fair point -- and I certainly wouldn't add that into the article or anything. But, frankly, even if the number were five times less than that, it would easily pass NTVSERIES as a nationally broadcast program. matt91486 (talk) 02:24, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This has been a hard one for me to make a decision on, while this may be a notable Japanese show (based on the fact that it has been running from 1997 to now as I could not find viewership numbers) the English article is likely so short due to the fact that it is not very popular (if at all) with international audiences. As far as I can tell it was never released with subtitles in anything other than Japanese making it inaccessible to people that do not speak Japanese. I see little point in keeping an article that gives almost no information about something inaccessible and of little interest to someone that does not know Japanese. While an article being short may not be a valid reason for deletion I do believe this fails WP:NOTE in regards to the English Wikipedia.

Keep - there is no time limit and User:Matt91486 credibly asserts notability and the potential for expansion. @User:Alex 21: Trying to blackmail the expansion of a stub by threatening to axe it is not an approved procedure; nor does sarcasm help. @User:Hintswen - WP:Directory is about indiscriminate lists: this article contains no lists. Your main point about foreign language topics is just wrong, alas. Ingratis (talk) 16:31, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Obviously notable per the Japanese article, and is correctly tagged for expansion from that. What I can't understand is why an editor who thinks the article is too short would want to shorten it even further to zero length. And why on Earth shouldn't people like me, who can't read Japanese, want to know something about Japanese topics? It is even more important to have an article in an English encyclopedia when a Google search in English finds little of relevance, but Japanese sources are available. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:33, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is clearly a case of 'better something than nothing at all', and we don't delete stubs because they exist as stubs, especially for series that have aired this long. Though because of the existence of the Netflix miniseries, a move of this page to Unbelievable (Japanese TV series) should be considered for the purposes of clarity, and this title converted to a DAB page for both series entitled Unbelievable (note: I will add a hatnote to this page as I assume this got on the nom's radar due to the Netflix miniseries). Nate • (chatter) 20:29, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the reason for this getting on the nom's radar then it's a totally inappropriate reaction. We don't delete articles just because something else turns up with the same name - we disambiguate. And the initial tagging of this for speedy deletion as having no context was so far wrong as to cast doubt on the good faith being shown here in this nomination.

Weak keep for now I'm having a hard time trying to convince myself that a variety show with 27 hits on the Mainichi website isn't notable.[28] Plus, the Nikkei defines it as one of the representative works of East Group,[29] and in an article about machine translation and AI supporting Japan's globalization <rolls eyes as professional translator who knows how not true that is> uses it in the opening sentence as though to say "Hey, you know that one show that you probably know?"[30] As an aside, while I don't watch as much variety TV as I probably should and so am not personally familiar with the show, I'm finding it hard to believe that a long-running TV show hosted by the great Beat Takeshi could be non-notable enough not to be able to sustain a substantial article in the future. I wouldn't mind a redirect to Takeshi's article in the meantime, given that the current article basically includes no useful information that isn't also in that article (unsourced and apparently contradictory as it is). AFD is not the place to discuss uncontroversial redirects, but is the place to come for consensus that a topic doesn't merit its own article, which will certainly not be found here.

Sidewalk cafe[edit]

Keep Well I probably agree that Pavement cafe is worthy of an article, even if it has been named Sidewalk cafe without marking the article's proper name ... seriously, this is an important type of cafe, and richly documented in reliable sources, which is what counts. I've added a mention of France and Italy, cited to The Guardian; the article is absurdly New York-topheavy, and needs internationalising, but it doesn't need deleting. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:13, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Neither the original reason for nomination claiming that it is a common vocabulary term or the unsubstantiated claim that it adds no value to Wikipedia etc. seem valid. The additional comment by the nominator claiming that "Sidewalk cafe" is a combination of two common vocabulary words to create an unambiguous, self-explanatory term also does not seem to be a valid reason for deletion. Sidewalk cafe is used as an independent subject in official documents like the New York City Charter and Administrative Code and other similar documents. I'm not sure that WP:BEFORE was properly done. A quick search reveals that it has also received in depth coverage by multiple reliable sources like for example this book or this article by the Chicago Suntimes, Seattle's government, or The city of Austin, etc... Since the article does not violate WP:ISNOT I see no reason to justify deletion. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:54, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The mere fact that people have written about sidewalk cafes and codified them in municipal ordinances does not mean that we need an article to explain what they are. A sidewalk cafe is a cafe that has seating on the sidewalk (or pavement). That's it. People go to Wikipedia to learn more about a topic. Unless they just landed on the planet, they aren't going to learn anything from this article. Well, ok, they might learn from reading this rich tapestry of information, "Popular sidewalk cafe activities", that people write things on the internet without supervision.

I beg to differ Eric, the fact that multiple reliable sources have non-trivial coverage about sidewalk cafes, means that the topic meets our general notability guidelines for inclusion, and since the article does not violate what Wikipedia is not I still see no valid reason for deletion. Do you have any policy based reason that would apply here? --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 15:18, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Crystallizedcarbon: Regrettably, I know of nothing in our policies that would call for deletion. I just think the article is fluff.

Keep. I disagree with the nomination's explanation. By this reasoning, we shouldn't have a firefighter article since 'person who fights fires' is self-explanatory; however, there's a complexity and history not covered by that definition.

Delete. The fact that someone works and is actually an artist does not mean that they are notable. Even assuming that all this self-written biographical stuff is true, she has never done anything of particular note. She received a design award from Seattle Times critics, but this is not like winning a Tony award or an Olivier award. And the fact that someone's art has been displayed in a museum does not make one notable, unless the work has received particular notice. I don't think she's even close to notable under any of our sets of criteria. Thank you, Rebecca, for taking a look, but in this case, your research leads to the conclusion that this person is not notable. -- Ssilvers (talk) 23:08, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- And the fact that someone's art has been displayed in a museum does not make one notable, unless the work has received particular notice I don't think that's quire right. Consider the effort and cost that goes into a museum exhibition and compare that to the requirements of the GNG (basically, two articles in a RS). A museum exhibition can take a professional curator months to prepare and involves a significant number of staff, and often the creation of a catalogue. That means that a professional with relevant domain expertise has come to the conclusion that a subject is somehow worthy of note. We don't make such decisions ourselves, but defer to precisely such experts, who are not all news journalists or art critics. So, I do think that sometimes "the fact that someone's art has been displayed in a museum" does make one notable. This should all be evaluated in context of course. A single work in a group show in a minor museum is not sufficient to establish notability. However, the categorical rejection of museum exhibits as indicators for notability goes to far and contradicts our guidelines at WP:ARTIST, specifically 4(b). In this particular case, I don't see that the work of the subject has been "a substantial part of a significant exhibition". Vexations (talk) 02:35, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. Having her work in a museum certainly is a point in her favor, but as Vexations points out it's a minor museum, so it doesn't really meet the criteria at WP:NARTIST.

Works by G. William Domhoff[edit]

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

WP is not for posting lists of publications except of the most notable people (like Einstein). A short bibliography (with, say, 5 entries) with the most important selected works (as substantiated by independent sources) can be included in the article on an academic. All academics publish, but we don't need a completely list of publications for every one of them. This list violates WP:ELLIST, WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and WP:NOTLINKFARM. There are many references, but they don't discuss Domhoff's work as a whole but only individual works. Therefore this fails WP:GNG and the notability guideline of the WikiProject Bibliographies. Similar bibliographies have been deleted/redirected in the past. I have tried to discuss this issue with the list creator on my talk page, but apparently did not succeed in convincing them. "Works by G. William Domhoff" would be an unlikely search term, so a redirect may not be very useful. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 08:20, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While I did find reviews for groups the artists has played with, and I did find his name mentioned tangentially in some reviews, the artist has yet to be the main focus of any independent source. He's basically a non-notable back up musician.4meter4 (talk) 20:42, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and stubify. It's the international arm of a notable university system, so passes WP:NSCHOOL easily with the Dutch language sources provided above. The article is too heavily promotional and should be weeded accordingly.4meter4 (talk) 12:56, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maxime Daigneault[edit]

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

After careful research I have determined the subject fails WP:NHOCKEY, based on the following points. He played 59 AHL games, 31 short of the 90 game mark needed for a goaltender to pass #2. He achieved no preeminent honours in the ECHL to pass #3. Crucially, based on careful research, his junior honours, CHL Memorial Cup All-Star team and Most Outstanding Goaltender, does not pass #4 based on past nominations and subsequent deletions of past entries and winners of these honours. He also played for Canada only in junior level which fails #6. Tay87 (talk) 01:26, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable youtuber, only claim of notability was making troll videos about famous youtubers. Only two of the sources were published before his death five years ago in April, 2014.

Merge per nomination, which will at the moment be a redirect as it's currently a referenced but empty list. If there are people notable enough for articles, then add a "notable people" list section to Iloilo City. If that section ever gets too large, then it can be split off something like List of people from Los Angeles. Tracy Von Doom (talk) 15:48, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
