Abigail Hopkins[edit]

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

I'm nominating this article for AfD because the subject appears to fail our musician guidelines and entertainer guidelines. I have struggled to find articles that cover the subject in great detail outside the fact that she is Anthony Hopkins estranged daughter (and it's mainly gossip related sources). Perhaps you'll prove me wrong - and I welcome that - but, being the child of a notable figure does not make one inherently notable, and her career appears also non-notable. I suggest redirecting this article to Anthony Hopkins. Thank you everyone for your review and time! Missvain (talk) 22:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep or Draftify: I'm obviously outvoted here—but I don't think this article is a lost cause. There are a lot of hits for the subject on newspapers.com, and I have found sources which give him some praise for his role in Amongst Friends:

→https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-reviews/amongst-friends-103078/

→https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/amongstfriendsrhinson_a0a841.htm

→https://www.newspapers.com/clip/48116327/joseph-lindsey-philadelphia-inquirer/

I'm sure there are more; it's just going to require quite a bit of digging to find them. There are many more hits at the Internet Archive, too: https://archive.org/search.php?query=%22Joseph%20Lindsey%22&sin=TXT&and%5B%5D=subject%3A%22Motion+pictures%22. His role in Caught Up (film) could also go towards WP:NACTOR. In the event of a "delete" (which seems likely), I would suggest "draftifying" as a possible solution, because, as I say, I think there is more to be found on the subject.

Comment: Even though the article doesn't say so, the subject's more recent credits are for writing rather than acting. There are a number of Deadline Hollywood articles that mention her in that capacity (e.g., https://deadline.com/2016/10/jj-totah-star-nbc-comedy-adam-naomi-scott-1201844962/), so I would encourage voters take this into consideration when evaluating her notability. Dflaw4 (talk) 11:28, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Per Nom. A search produced nothing substantial and added Deadline source has some specific to subject but not significant coverage. Could not find anything substantial providing nothing more than a couple of sentences of a pseudo biography.

Encyclopedia of Unaired Television Pilots, 1945-2018: Movie concept Otr500 (talk) 05:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Otr500, there is another review for Alien Arsenal, which provides slightly more than a mere mention, at a site called Efilmcritic.com: https://www.efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=5056. I don't know if there is a consensus regarding this site's reliability, though—do you? Thanks, Dflaw4 (talk) 07:06, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: The review seems legit but you can check this page out, concerning eligibility to be a critic for that company, and it might give some insight as to why I would not rate the reliability very high. It may not be required but I would hold more regard to a critic that was associated with the National Society of Film Critics, New York Film Critics Circle, (See Category:American film critics associations) or other more "official" membership. In Australia there is the Film Critics Circle of Australia (FCCA), ABC Radio National, Australian Film Critics Association (AFCA), also International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI), and many others that would be more "prestigious". This is just my opinion but has logic if notability is questioned. Otr500 (talk) 18:44, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: I haven't found any reliable sources that would go towards WP:GNG. The subject has only had one significant role, in American Heiress, so he falls a little shy of WP:NACTOR.

Keep due to coverage in the last decade by NPR[1], the New Yorker,[2], and Discover magazine.[3]. Question for Adamant1, and anyone in cooperation with Adamant1: Have you heard of people talking or writing about this recording due to it relating to the pandemic? I've noticed other 1918 flu related historical topics resurfacing, and am wondering if you have come across people talking about it for this reason.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One, I don't think it's fair to say people who vote similar to each other are in cooperation with each other. Second, my only judgement (and I believe the judgement of others also) is purely based on notability through reliable in-depth sourcing. That's it. The existence of peripherally related current events or similar things like that don't factor into it. We don't keep every article about planes when a major airliner goes down etc etc. Nor should we. Outside of that, personally I haven't noticed any topics about the flu epidemic resurfacing on here, but then I wasn't really paying attention to that when I was looking at the article and deciding to do the AfD. I'm sure more people are looking it up though since it and Covid-19 are semi-related. That's not how I came across the article though. --Adamant1 (talk) 09:31, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Blind Willie Johnson. The NPR source does not actually talk about the song, it just puts in it a references section. The other two do mention the song, but the Discover magazine source does not provide significant coverage, being just one actual sentence of coverage and the rest being copy-pasted song lyrics. This leaves The New Yorker, which does provide significant coverage, but it is only one source, not enough to establish notability. Also per NSONG: "A standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:47, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

14th GMA Dove Awards[edit]

Non-notable awards ceremony. It's had a sourcing banner on it since 2010 that never got dealt with and a WP:BEFORE search fails to come up with anything.

Keep The notability of the ceremony here is not related to the use references. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment What's it related to then? There's no guideline about the notability of awards or ceremonies except for the GNG. Which requires the use of references. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The GNG does not require the use of references (it's a guideline, it can't require anything), it suggests that an article is likely to be notable if sufficient reliable source coverage exists, which is highly likely in the case of these awards. --Michig (talk) 09:51, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG "Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable." verifiability does require sources. Anyway, I meant "require" in the sense of it being a generally accepted rule, that most people follow and applies in most cases. Not in a fundamentalist sense, that doesn't account for common sense. This isn't the place to debate what's an edge case, where "common sense" would over ride WP:GNG, WP:SBST, or whatever guideline though. Let alone is it the place to re-relitigate the philosophical underpinnings of notability, what an "article" is, or the purposes of Wikipedia more generally. If Walter Görlitz want's to wax poetic about any of those things more power to him, he's free to do so in the appropriate mediums. There's nothing inherently special about awards though. The vast majority of them aren't worth mentioning anywhere, let alone in Wikipedia. Even the awards main article has questionable notability and most of the sub articles about it either don't have sources or there's just a few un-reliable ones. Even for more recent award ceremonies. Like last years 50th GMA Dove Awards. Which only has one none primary source. As an "awards topic" it's not even comparable in notability to a smaller regional award like the Juno Awards. Which has great sourcing for both it's main article and the "Juno Awards of" sub articles. --Adamant1 (talk) 15:35, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiability means that sources exist to allow facts to be checked, not that they are cited in the article. --Michig (talk) 18:51, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here's one source found after just a few seconds Googling: [4]. I don't have access to a US newspaper archive, but I suspect that more coverage wouldn't be hard to find for anyone that did. --Michig (talk) 18:54, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but notability requires in-depth none trivial coverage. Which isn't ascertained through articles just being "out there" or "likely" existing. So, your really splitting hairs. On your source, it's trivial, non in-depth coverage. The article isn't even about the awards. While I'd have zero problem with certain superficial facts from it being inserted into the article since that's all there is, it does nothing to establish notability. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not splitting hairs. You said you found nothing, I found an article about this awards ceremony in a matter of seconds, and you didn't appear to understand the distinction between sources existing and sources being cited in an article. Further coverage of this awards event found fairly easily from a Google search: [5], [6], [7], [8]. --Michig (talk) 10:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per multiple newspaper articles about this awards ceremony identified above. --Michig (talk) 10:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I get it. You just dont get the purpose of AfD or what a keep vote should be based on. That's fine though. Ultimately I could give a crap less. If the only thing that comes out of this is a bunch of sources being added to the article, even none notable trivial ones that where ref bombed by people who dont understand the process and dont listen when told how it works, that's a still a win in my book. Its not like there can't or won't be a AfD 2.0 at some point either. Which can happen when you ref bomb bad sources to fake notability just to get your way. Altough, two keep votes at this point by people who either clearly have an agenda or are intentionally ignorant of the process really means nothing.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamant1 (talk • contribs)

Btw, even if it does slightly pass notability, what issue would you have with merging it to the main article as an alternative to keeping it? If it is notable it still doesnt warrant an individual article IMO because it will just be stub/list like the other articles in the same vain. So what would be the problem with merging? The question goes for Walter also. Personally, I'm not a fan of having a bunch of questionably sourced perma stubs if it can be avoided and I'm pretty sure Wikipedia more widely isnt either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamant1 (talk • contribs)

Please have a read of WP:NPA and WP:AGF. Maybe also have a read of Wikipedia:Notability. Thanks. And don't forget to sign your posts. --Michig (talk) 10:59, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In a very similar AfD Walter said me doing it was disingenuous and claimed I only edit Christian articles because I disdain Christians. He has a history of treating me in similar ways. My commented was pointed at him and in reference to those things. While I generally respect users and abide by the no attacking rule, I'm not going to in this particular case with him. As he has repeatedly disregarded both to me and I strongly believe in the golden rule. Plus, he does have agenda. The truth is not harrasement. Calling someones action disingenuous and motivated by disdain is. I'll refrain from speaking the truth about Walter though because you requested. Adamant1 (talk) 11:27, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Btw Michig I know Wikipedia:Notability quit well, thanks. It seems like you don't though. Since none of your sources seem to talk about the ceremony in the in-depth manor required by it. An article about Amy Grant wining it is about Amy Grant, not the ceremony itself, and notability isn't inherited as I'm sure you know. So where is an in-depth article about the actual subject? If your going to tell other people read something, you should really follow it. I still so no in-depth coverage of the topic even with your sources and it doesn't take reading the notability guidelines to come that conclusion. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:32, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the multiple reliable sources identified by Michig above which show a pass of WP:GNG. Also if all the award pages were merged into the main article it would be too large for loading quicly over slow internet connections as per WP:Notpaper, imv Atlantic306 (talk)

I think your reason for not wanting to do a merge is more about editing issues then the actual benefits of doing so. Unfortunately a good portion of the GMA Dove Award article is longer then it needs to be due to being in list form and includes things that don't really need to be listed. It wouldn't really be an issue if the lists where rewritten as prose and the un-notable parts where taken out of it, but that doesn't have anything to do with if the subject here is notable enough to warrant it's own article. Which is the point in AfDs. I appreciate you at least addressing the option though. --Adamant1 (talk) 22:36, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I didn't ignore the dead links, but them being dead does factor into if there is currently existing reliable in-depth coverage of the company or not. Which is what AfDs are about. On the hundreds of entries you found, great for you. See WP:GOOGLEHITS. I said sources came up when I looked, just that they where trivial coverage or weren't otherwise reliable. Notability goes beyond just the existence of sources. If you have sources that meet WP:NCORP's notability standards, 100% contribute them. Without them though, this company isn't notable.

This is a WP:FRINGEBLP of a climate change denier who is so obscure as to really not be identified by the appropriate number of third-party sources. The primary author of this article claims that WP:PROF is satisfied because some of his papers have lots of citations, but there are citogenesis issues for some of these papers within the closed-shop climate change denial community, and, frankly, hundreds of citations over the course of decades is not a particularly high. I just do not see enough evidence that this person is notable and the other WP:BIO indicators seem to be lacking as well. jps (talk) 10:49, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not enough reliable secondary sources mention him. I have dug around on JSTOR and Google Books. The only sources that mention him are his own works. Most of the sources on the article are his own publications. WP:RS are seriously lacking. Psychologist Guy (talk) 12:35, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment So far, the only standard of notability this page might reach is WP:NACADEMIC criteria number one, based on two papers that may demonstrate a "significant impact" of this academic's research. Based on Google Scholar hits (which is not the preferred method, but is what I have available), this academic has one solo-authored paper with ~250 citations and first authorship on a paper with ~150 citations. As a non-expert in his field, I do not know whether this is sufficient for significance. All his other papers are fairly poorly cited. Jlevi (talk) 13:26, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Based on some discussion and by looking at comparable individuals, I now do not think this passes this criteria. Unless some reliable Japanese-language sources wind up rising (as noted in the comments below) to allow satisfaction of WP:GNG, I would say Delete. Jlevi (talk) 23:45, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One last thought. It seems like Asahi article and the Science article might be just barely enough for WP:GNG. Do these two articles fail on some of the criteria? Is there a reason why these articles would be insufficient if they were to pass?

Here is my analysis on the Science article. This clearly passes reliability and independence. However, it may be too specifically in reference to the article subject's research to be considered an article about the subject himself. So, though it is a long article, the subject perhaps does not receive the necessary coverage. I'm not sure how the research/researcher disentanglement is usually done for this sort of article.

Here is my analysis on the Asahi article. The coverage appears significant, crossing the WP:One hundred words threshold. The source is reliable. The author is not included, and it's unclear what particular section of the newspaper the article was in, so there may be some influence on our understanding of reliability that isn't captured here. The publisher certainly appears independent. However, the content is certainly not, with almost everything coming directly from Nakamura (I'm not sure independence of content is required for BLPs, however, as it is with organizations).

Thoughts? There are certainly significant NPOV and weight problems here, but those shouldn't necessarily impact notability, and I'd like to give this article the strongest possible counter-argument to deletion. I think what I've presented here is that strongest counterargument. Jlevi (talk) 16:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that the Science article is merely a glancing mention of the subject. The Asahi article makes a better case, though it is pretty marginal. I do note that WP:One hundred words is an essay, not a guideline, and the coverage there is brief (and tends towards "man bites dog"). WP:FRINGE holds the article to a high standard of notability, and I don't think the Asahi article meets that. I've !voted keep on climate-change deniers before, and if the WP:NPROF case was anywhere close, the Asahi article might change my mind. But it's not, and it doesn't. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 07:40, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Russ_Woodroofe, Thanks for the WP:FRINGE reminder. I disagree with characterizing this (or any) reputable scientist, in the area they are expert, as "fringe" to dismiss them. That said, WP:FRINGEBLP says,

There are people who are notable enough to have articles included in Wikipedia solely on the basis of their advocacy of fringe beliefs. Notability can be determined by considering whether there are enough reliable and independent sources that discuss the person in a serious and extensive manner, taking care also to avoid the pitfalls that can appear when determining the notability of fringe theories themselves. Caution should be exercised when evaluating whether there are enough sources available to write a neutral biography that neither unduly promotes nor denigrates the subject.

This does not increase the standard. If anything it lowers the standard and adds support to KEEP (article creator). -- Yae4 (talk) 09:45, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Russ_Woodroofe Sounds fair. Jlevi (talk) 21:01, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A few days ago I tried looking for more sources indicating notability and to find better independent coverage (including expert criticism and mentions in wide mainstream papers). I mostly fell on advocacy org sites and blogs, including Friends of Science's (that has a misleading name BTW) and self-published pamphlets like the one I removed here (despite it being a Google books link, it's not a book). I'm also not convinced that WP:NACADEMIC is met. When good expert sources evaluating fringe claims are rare (and we need them to cover the topic) it's usually a sign of WP:TOOSOON and Wikipedia is not the place to popularize things. —Paleo Neonate – 01:22, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (article creator). Too bad this isn't an April Fools prank...or is it? First, a comment and question on editor behavior: Is this - which appears to be organizing and recruiting a suppression effort - considered appropriate?[9] Note the creator of the article was not notified.

In addition to having significant impact in his esoteric technical field, his "confessions" book brought a lot of general public attention. This person has been covered in Science[10], and Asahi Shimbun[11], plus some other publications. Japanese language searches may find more coverage.

There is no specific numerical criterion available to apply, but I feel having dozens of citations for some works, totalling hundreds over the years, should be sufficient when considering the very specialized nature of the works.

General Comments: A technocracy source[12] was deleted, rather than talk about it more, but it added a few comments to the quadrant source, so it also demonstrates additional coverage of this person and his work, from an arguably reliable source. This article was written without using any source I thought was of questionable quality/reliability; however, there is a lot of additional coverage of the person, his work, his "breaking ranks" and becoming notorious in the blogosphere, and in articles that will take more time to go through and form opinions on reliability and weight.

Detailed Comments: He has 14 technical publications listed at American Meteorological Society, which no one should claim is "fringe." [13]

I'm concerned at how the article uses his past affiliations to give him a veneer of respectability (if he has a current academic post, I can't find it).

Comment (by article creator). For what it's worth, comparison with other Meteorologist articles... In terms of sourcing and accomplishments, Mototaka Nakamura seems at least as notable and well-sourced as some other meteorologist BLP articles such as Nana Klutse, Reto Knutti, Peter_Cox_(climatologist), Robert H. Johns, Rely Zlatarovic.

Most of the more "highly cited" articles are the "study of studies" type Wikipedia relies on so heavily, or less specialized/focused or more policy type works. As for employment, "coming out" as a non-alarmist or honestly publicizing the high uncertainties of climate model predictions are usually career ending moves. A few other examples have even made it into Wikipedia... Nakamura wrote what sounds like a goodbye to the field, "I have more-or-less lost interest in the climate science and am not thrilled to spend so much of my time and energy in this kind of writing beyond the point that satisfies my own sense of obligation to the US and Japanese tax payers who financially supported my higher education and spontaneous and free research activity." -- Yae4 (talk) 13:37, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the meteorologists brought up for comparison support this argument. Just looking at Reto Knutti's publications, this individual has five publications with 1000+ citations, and >20 with 200+. If these people are used for the purpose of comparison, it seems the argument would be for delete based on the comparison. Jlevi (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure either, but my point was Nakamura Wikipedia article is better, and better sourced. It looks to me like Knutti is 2nd or 3rd author on most of the highly cited publications. Maybe Klutse[16] is a closer comparison (by primary author counts). Zlatarovic is too old to use Google scholar. I don't claim Nakamura is the most prolific or most cited, but he is in the ballpark of some others in Wikipedia, at least. Plus his work got arguably more notoriety (or infamy) for the general public. -- Yae4 (talk) 17:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "lie" in the climate change "scare", and any publication declaring that someone has "exposed" one is ipso facto unreliable. The item from The Telegram is a reader letter in a local newspaper, carrying zero reliability or noteworthiness, and it has only a passing mention of the article subject at that. The IPRC newsletter is published by Nakamura's employer and is therefore not independent; it would only be suitable for uncontroversial claims like the date at which he joined the organization and, for these purposes, contributes nothing to notability.

Even Wikipedia doesn't yet say we need to be scared to go along with "the consensus." Newspaper editors give submitted letters editorial oversight; they don't just publish them willy nilly.

First, we're not "scared" into agreeing with the scientific consensus. As an encyclopedia, we're part of the reality-based community. Second, local newspapers are not scientific journals, and their editors are not qualified to make scientific judgments.

Delete (not speedy, which clearly does not apply); although there's no reason bus routes must be deleted, those that survive usually do so on account of a ~century of history being accumulated in reliable sources.

That is the opposite of an independent source, because (it was claimed here) Koehn is on the board of directors of the publisher. And we are discussing this particular article here.

Keep - Transall was also a 'one product entity', not a valid rationale for article deletion. I would be very disappointed to be redirected to the Jaguar article if I was interested in SEPECAT. Manufacturing companies/organisations of aircraft are almost always notable and have their own article, even individual people have articles, eg Jim Bede. Splitting an article like this is recommended per Wikipedia:Summary style...A fuller treatment of any major subtopic should go in a separate article of its own.

If an editor discovered a fantastic reference source on SEPECAT how would they advance the subject to Featured article status if it is not covered by its own article? Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 09:44, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note that the courtesy of notifying the article creator and associated wiki project has not happened (per WP:AFD). Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 10:03, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Transall should be deleted on the same basis as that page is all about its sole product, the Transall C-160 and on a quick review it seems most of Transall is copied from that page. As detailed above, if you remove all the duplicated information from SEPECAT Jaguar page you're left with two sentences. I think at this stage the possibility of "an editor discover(ing) a fantastic reference source on SEPECAT" and "advanc(ing) the subject to Featured article status" is highly unlikely, but if it were the case they could just create a new page. I am not obliged to notify the article creator and my comments: Talk:SEPECAT#Is this a necessary fork? have been on the Talk Page since 14 February (when the page was only 2 sentences), giving all interested parties plenty of time to respond. SEPECAT and Transall each contain minimal information about the companies, but they have been plumped up with information about their sole product to justify the existence of separate pages.Mztourist (talk) 10:19, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Joshua Ip[edit]

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

Subject does not appear to meet the notability guidelines in WP:POET. He has not written any works that are transformational, original or a significant public monument. In the news, coverage of him is only in passing, and most of the other sources are blogs. He does not appear to be widely cited by peers, or as having influenced any notable poets. I cannot see any justification for retaining this as an encyclopedia entry. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 03:48, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Based on WP:ANYBIO, the subject has won multiple national-level awards in his field, including the Young Artist Award and Singapore Literature Prize, which are the highest national-level awards for a young artist and a published manuscript respectively. Also, a check of Google Scholar reveals multiple citations from notable sources such as peer-reviewed academic journals – regular inclusions in the annual “Malaysia and Singapore” digest of the Journal of Commonwealth Literature, the “Contemporary Literature from Singapore” article in the Oxford Research Encylopedia of Literature 2017, introductions of Singapore Literature in English and other books. Google News includes significant coverage in multiple national newspapers, inclusive of reviews, interviews and articles.

Lightsup112 can you attach these sources you mention? Google News coverage that I found was not significant, covering the subject in passing only. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just to weigh in on the rest. Even assuming that you are correct (still waiting for the links) about citation in peer-reviewed academic journals; this is not enough to establish notability. The subject must be widely cited, which indicates their authority in their field. The only news coverage I could find includes blogs (not a reliable source, WP:RSOPINION). There is some coverage in The Straits Times, but these are (1) some pieces written by the subject, and not about the subject, and (2) reviews of his books, but not coverage of him. There is not a single source of significant coverage in a reliable third party source that I can find to establish the subject's notability, not even following his winning the Singapore Literature Prize. The Singapore Literature Prize is a significant achievement, but whether this is enough to establish the winner's notability is dubious. The subject has himself said it has weak recognition even in Singapore: [26] that "while the prize has some cachet within the community ... it has some way to go in terms of recognition by a wider Singaporean audience." All this adds up to: why should the subject warrant an entry in an encyclopedia? Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 16:09, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

reviews of a person's works ie. "Poems that work as puzzles to be decoded" - a review of Footnotes on Falling do indicate notability, see no. 3 of WP:AUTHOR, and a recipient's attitude to an honor like the SLP - one of, if not the, top literature prize of Singapore, does not lessen its wikinotableness (think high British orders that have been refused). Coolabahapple (talk) 02:35, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coolabahapple,

How can it be correct that a person is deserving of an encyclopedia entry because one of their books has been reviewed by one newspaper? This is setting the bar very, very low indeed, and would flood Wikipedia with entries. This doesn't even fulfil the notability criteria for the book, which requires coverage in (per WP:BK) two or more non-trivial sources.
The comparison with high British orders cannot be correct; no one who has refused a high British order has done so because it is not notable. In fact, they would have done so precisely because of how well-known it is, so that refusing to accept the honour makes a statement of principle. The point I am making is that (1) the Singapore Literature Prize is poorly recognised in Singapore, and (2) the subject has himself said this in a well known publication (and as a recipient, he is something of an authority on the subject). If a Singaporean literature prize is not even well recognised by a Singaporean audience, what claim can it have to generating notability?
I would also point out this, very importantly: the person needs to be notable enough to warrant their own biographical entry. If the person is defined solely in terms of a single event, then perhaps it would make sense for an entry for the book, but not for the author. I cannot find any sources covering the subject in detail. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 03:46, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1) i did not say that one review means that someone meets wp:author, only that reviews (note the plural) indicate that, i then gave one example;
2) please provide sources that back up your statement that the SLP is "is poorly recognised in Singapore" and not just from an apparently (from your pov anyway:)) non-notable person (i note that the wikarticle on the SLP has nothing about this), ditto (sources please) with your statement "no one who has refused a high British order has done so because it is not notable. In fact, they would have done so precisely because of how well-known it is", i don't see that reason at List of people who have declined a British honour, unfortunately The Guardian doesn't say much here on why (the number one reason for refusal of australian honors (that are based on the british system) according to the Herald Sun btw is not because they're notable but due to "modesty" - "Leading Australians snub Order of Australia honours");
3) agree that, in the majority of cases, if someone is known for one event/book, then that event/book might warrent an article, not the person. Coolabahapple (talk) 05:18, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1. Fine. As you say, no. 3 of WP:AUTHOR says that multiple independent reviews make an author likely to be notable. If you are able to attach any other reviews of the same book, this would go some way to justifying your point. I, for one, could not find any. I saw one here: [27], ~~but the subject is himself an editor of that journal, so I don't think the source qualifies as independent coverage.~~ (I stand corrected) (Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 16:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC))[reply]

2. My point is that the subject is not notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia entry. This does not mean that nothing he says deserves notice. As a recipient of the award, he is perfectly placed to opine that it is not well recognised, and he did so in a well known publication. The same 2018 article quotes "writers and publishers" as saying that the prize's impact on sales is "negligible". They say that "the prize struggles to move beyond preaching to the converted". The article also says that the prize has not propelled its winners onto the Straits Times bestseller list, with a "rare" exception of The Art of Charlie Chan Hock Chye, which won three Eisner Awards (clearly notable, the equivalent of winning an Oscar, and far more likely to be the cause of its popularity). I accept what you say about British honours, though there are plenty of examples on the list you have attached of people declining honours for principled reasons - see Peter Benenson as a protest against British human rights abuses, Patrick Heron as a protest against British education policy, HLA Hart who believed that state honours should only be given for public service, or Stephen Hawking, who did not like titles. No one on that list would seriously suggest that British honours are not notable, the way Joshua Ip suggests that the Singapore Literature Prize is not notable.

3. There might be a case for that here - one of Joshua Ip's books receiving an article, but not him. There are simply too few sources from which to construct a reliable picture of him, and this might simply be because he is not notable enough for one. Though I would point out that even his Singapore Literature Prize winning anthology sonnets from the singlish has hardly any coverage beyond bookshops and Cha Literary Journal, ~~which as I said above, Joshua Ip is an editor of.~~ Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 06:40, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. Subject has been conferred several national awards, including the Singapore Literature Prize in 2014 and Young Artist of the Year in 2017. This qualifies the subject as notable, under notability guidelines WP:ANYBIO ("The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times.").

There are only two good sources in this list: [3] and [16]. Everything else is sparse, especially the newspaper coverage. The journal entries are useful, but the engagement does not suggest anything seminal about his work. As such, it generates about the same kind of notability value as a junior academic, and junior academics do not warrant Wikipedia biographies.
Here's an example of good newspaper coverage. It is of the "peer" you cited - Koh Jee Leong, [44], and is of a full profile of the subject. His work has also been recommended as a top book by the Financial Times. Even he doesn't yet have a Wikipedia page. Wherever Joshua Ip is quoted in newspapers, it is just in passing or a routine review of a book.
The Golden Point Award recognises promise of artistic excellence. But an encyclopedia chronicles notable achievements, not the potential for them. A Rhodes scholar, for example, does not get a Wikipedia article simply for being a Rhodes scholar.
As far as I can see, Joshua Ip's strongest claim to fame is the Singapore Literature Prize. This would ordinarily be enough for me, but I am conflicted for the following reasons:

This isn't the Booker Prize or the Nobel Prize for Literature. It's a national award. For this reason, the bar is higher to show that it is a well-known and significant award or honour. (per WP:ANYBIO)
Its notability is dubious even for its target audience. Singapore's largest daily newspaper has quoted writers (including Joshua Ip!) and publishers saying that it is not widely recognised by Singaporeans.

For these reasons, I find it hard to accept that he warrants an encyclopedia biography for having won the SLP. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP. The subject may not have received very much international coverage, but he is much-discussed in the Singaporean press. A cursory search on https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/ reveals that his name has appeared 74 times since 2012. (The articles are sadly paywalled.)
Furthermore, if one demands that all subjects on Wikipedia must receive international coverage in order be deemed encyclopedia-worthy, that excludes most writers from small nations, especially those who do not write in English. A cursory look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Singaporean_poets reveals entries by Singaporean writers who have accomplished less, such as Rebecca Chua, Sng Boh Kim, Muhammad Jailani Abu Talib and Teo Poh Leng.
Kohlrabi Pickle also erroneously states that the subject is an editor of Cha journal. The journal itself does not list him as such. https://www.asiancha.com/content/view/3022/640/ Ng.yisheng 15:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, there is no expectation of international coverage by Wikipedia policies. My issue is that his press coverage is cursory. If this is because I brought up the Financial Times, I would be satisfied with Ip's books appearing on the Straits Times bestseller list or being recommended as a top book by the Straits Times, which would at least indicate notability in Singapore. It seems from online sources that the books are neither bestsellers, nor has anyone suggested that they are transformative or a significant literary contribution. I would be very happy to be proven wrong. I stand corrected about Cha Literary Journal - I had opened a past issue where he was a guest editor. I have stricken out the erroneous statements in my text above. Kohlrabi Pickle (talk) 16:25, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep having read through the provided sources, as well as additional sources linked here, I think that the subject falls short of cleanly meeting GNG. However, it's clear that he receives critical attention for his work, and national literature prizes go a fair way toward meeting ANYBIO. Additionally, because the subject writes in Chinese in addition to English, there's a solid chance that there's additional coverage of his work in other languages. I would feel more strongly about this vote if either we already had articles for the awards that Ip has won (establishing their notability), or if it was clear that a large portion of Ip's work was non-English, but I think that there's reason to believe that WP:NPOSSIBLE has been met. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:44, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The arguments are basically, "There's enough good sources to meet WP:GNG" vs "Yeah, but every industry is impacted, what's so special about this one?". There's roughly equal numbers on the two sides. There's already been enough discussion that a relist seems unlikely to be useful.

Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on the cannabis industry[edit]

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

Hyperspecific topic of relatively insignificant encyclopedic value. Coverage cannot be sustained as its only a few months old and unlike the virus itself, we have no clue if the pot industry will be impacted. In other words, if fails WP:NOTNEWS and we cannot assess the question of WP:N as its too new to see if this has a lasting impact. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:21, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Crystal balling while stoned is still crystal balling. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I hope you're not implying I'm stoned. Regardless, the article currently has 8 citations specific to the topic, and there are a dozen or so more posted on the talk page. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:36, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn’t show it meets the WP:SUSTAINED requirement. That shows you have a verifiable fact that you may be able to include in an article. WP:NOPAGE is also part of WP:N and considering the impacts of a pandemic on one industry that in all honesty no one is thinking about right now probably doesn’t need its own article even if it is notable. TonyBallioni (talk) 03:41, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tony I'm shocked to see you saying "one industry that in all honesty no one is thinking about" when there is literally a New York Times article on the topic cited in the article. Disparaging remarks like this don't get us any closer to an honest, reasoned consensus. ☆ Bri (talk) 04:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it’s a fair assessment: most people are worried about their lives and livelihoods, not their marijuana. I could produce articles on the impact on liquor stores as well: most of them have been classified as essential services, but we wouldn’t dream of having an article on the impact on liquor stores or the alcohol industry. It’s a novelty topic that gets attention now because Wikipedia tends to be sympathetic to many of the ideals of those who politically support liberalization of cannabis use, but no one has demonstrated that it is likely to be discussed a year from now. We would not have an article on alcohol, toilet paper, or many other products which have received media attention because of this. WP:NOPAGE tells us to consider not having a standalone page when a mention elsewhere will do. This can easily be one line in an article about economic impacts. It’s a minor thing that’s part of a greater response. It doesn’t get a page under policy until we can tell if the discussion is going to be sustained and that a page will be sustainable long term.

Keep per GNG (disclaimer: article creator). There's plenty to add to the article based on the sources I've posted at Talk:Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on the cannabis industry alone. There are many others I'm seeing at Google and Google News as well. Local and state authorities and elected officials are commenting and implementing policies specific to the cannabis industry, and there's coverage in local markets across the U.S. as well as sufficient coverage in nationally recognized publications. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:56, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, well sourced especially on the talk page source-collection. The difference between this topic and, say, mulch, is that state and city governments seem to be listing medicinal cannabis outlets as essential businesses and not ordering them closed in the imposed lockdowns. So the topic ranks with the impact of this event on food production, the retail pharmacy industry, and other defined essential businesses. Randy Kryn (talk) 04:30, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- None of which should have their own article. Have one article on it all rather than one on everything (WP:NOPAGE). This is the same argument I’d make for any “industry” COVID page. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:11, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a reasonable requirement to lump together everything "industry" related under Category:Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic. The food industry article alone is over 10k of readable prose now. I’m sure that together they exceed the 50k WP:SIZERULE, and are obviously growing. ☆ Bri (talk) 05:16, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Most of those articles are probably not writing in summary style and are conveying more information than we want in a Wikipedia article. Trimming and combining into something more comprehensive is much more useful to the reader. I’d also argue most of those don’t pass WP:N as they fail WP:SUSTAINED and WP:NOTNEWS. So, yes, we should delete or merge most of them. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:23, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:NOTTEMPORARY, which shows that notability has already been achieved. The page, and topic, are notable. And as I say below, the topic of cannabis prohibition is directly involved in this, as the "essential status" given to industry outlets in an historical shutdown puts emphasis on the ongoing end of prohibition. I'd also point out that many more sources have been added since the start of this discussion. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:43, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for one reason only. We follow significant coverage in reliable sources when determining what to write about. This is abundantly evident, as opposed to, say the "mulch industry". ☆ Bri (talk) 04:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Bri and Randy Kryn: I’d actually suggest merging to Socio-economic_impact_of_the_2019–20_coronavirus_pandemic, which I didn’t see when we made this AfD. I think it’d fit rather nicely there, along with discussion of alcohol and other “essential@ services that people have questioned or discussed in the media. I think it’d be better to delete than have as a stand-alone, so don’t want to close the AfD if there’s no consensus to merge, but I think we could have it as a nice section of a bigger article on the impacts of the virus. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:20, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - The page seems to fit fine among the topics in the 'Impact' section of template {{2019–20 coronavirus pandemic}} and, as editors are pointing out, the article is extremely well-sourced. Eventually a few more essential service articles will emerge and become well-edited, and these will probably pass the well-sourced barrier as well. All the well-sourced pages will likely become much further clarified and edited as the months and years go by, doesn't seem a reason to begin limiting them at this point. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:54, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Socio-economic impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic per Tony above. Of course news reports can focus on hyper-specific examples, I am not convinced that makes them independantly notable or worth mentioning in an encyclopedia. News are memes, Toilet paper panic bying in the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic passes WP:GNG but is WP:NOTNEWS. All the items in 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic related shortages could be split into their own article per WP:GNG. The effects on the cannabis industry are not independantly notable, like with so many other industries some companies laid people off and sales were up. This material does not need more than two sentences in a related page. Also, all of the related articles are also just collections of hyperspecific news reports and will require some extreme trimming. In Impact of the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic on the food industry, we learn that New Zealand closed butcher shops on March 25, 2020 and that Swedish restaurateurs have a feeling of utter despair but also high levels of camaraderie. All of this passes WP:GNG, none of this is worth mentioning in an encyclopedia. – Thjarkur (talk) 09:53, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  - The fact that medical and retail cannabis stores are being deemed "essential" by numerous states is notable as an affirmation of governmental acceptance of the product. So this is not just recent news, but an important and page-worthy topic in the overall history of America's cannabis prohibition. That, combined with adequate sourcing and the fact that many other products and industries have their own pages within Wikipedia's corona-19 collection, seems to pass the Keep-delete-merge bar.

Keep because it passes GNG. Why the cannabis industry and not the mulch industry or something else? Because it passes GNG. SUSTAINED can't be proven or disproven because it's too soon, and as SUSTAINED itself says, for a current event, lack of SUSTAINED is no reason to delete.

To add: I disagree with "merge", because the notion that we can cover all of the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in one article is patently insane. One thing I am 100% sure of: the socio-economic impact of this pandemic will be written about in multiple full-length books, and become a standard part of sociology and economics curricula at universities around the world. This is as big of a topic as "the socio-economic impact of World War II". It's already a topic that RSes around the world are writing about every single day. I wouldn't be surprised if we had an article about COVID-19 socio-economic impact for every single major industry (and, of course, cannabis is a major, hundred-billion-dollar-per-year industry).

SNOW KEEP Serious coverage in multiple WP:RS. Adding them to article. WP:HEY Q.E.D., No compliance with WP:Before. Article is NOT what it was when the deletion was proposed.

The Benno Bike newspaper clip board settles this. You folks didn't bother to look very hard (or at least not thoroughly) for the sources that establish notability.

The WP:SPA account (allegedly) has little, if anything, to do with the article as it presently appears. Argumentum ad hominem. No Guilt by Association. The moveant makes illogical arguments that are of no worth at all. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -WP:ORGCRIT , which applies in thhis case, states at the very beginning "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. ". What we have is many fleeting mentions , press releases etc and one single source that deals with one model produced by the company and not the company itself, for which we have no RSs. This does not provide grounds for a Keep vote!. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 03:06, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". Also, "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. There are a number of references added to the article. An analysis of those reference mentioned above in this AfD show the following:
- This from Cycling Industry News is trivial run-of-the-mill coverage entirely based on the company's press release about their intention to attend a trade show. It contains no in-depth information on the company and fails to include any Independent Content, fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:SIGCOV and WP:ORGIND.
- This from bikebiz lists some companies that will attend a trade show and includes a section for Ison Distribution at the end. It contains no in-depth information on the company and relies entirely on quotations provided by the distributor (everything is in quotes), fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND.
- This from BusinessDen is an article on a new bike shop about to open. The owner says that they will keep about 20 bikes on the sales floow from brands such as Opus Bikes, Benno Bikes and WorkCycles and that its full-service shop will offer services such as tuning and safety inspections. A mere mention-in-passing, fails CORPDEPTH and SIGCOV
- This from Bicycle Retailer is an announcement that the company (Benno Bikes) has a new exclusive distributor (Serfas) in the US and relies entirely on information and quotation provided by the respective companies. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND.
- This from Forbes is from the "sites" section and is therefore regarded as failing WP:RS. Even if we ignore that, this article also fails WP:ORGIND as it relies entirely on information provided by the founder (including quotations and opinions) and contains no in-depth information on the company. Fails WP:RS primarily but the content also fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND
- This from Tagblatt is a nice long detailed article, mostly focussed on Benno Bike Switzerland, that traces the history of the company. But it relies on information provided by the founder of Benno Bikes Swiss who is a connected source and the only source for the content related to Benno Bikes in the article. There is no indication that any information is clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject and therefore fails WP:ORGIND.
- This from Pedelecs & E-Bikes is essentially an Ad dressed up as an article. All of the information describing the founder and the company is standard stuff seen in most of these churnalistic articles and is straight off the main website for the company. The second half of the article pushes specific Benno Bike models. It is neither significant coverage nor Independent Content, topic fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:CORPDEPTH
- This from Ride announces that Benno Bikes got an award from Eurobikes. Again, the company description is the same one we've seen in 100s of these churnalistic press release articles, nor is it a significant award nor significant article. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:ORDIND

I am unable to locate a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. The topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 16:40, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coolabahapple (talk) 02:10, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. It's not a well-known and significant award e.g. not like Ekushey Padak. Number decrease does not mean its became significant. I'm sure not just in Bangladesh, every country's police has this type of award, it's given by government doesn't mean everyone who received are automatically notable. otherwise we can start creating thousand of thousand article like this. The person shouldn't get an automatic article just because person received Bangladesh Police Medal (Service).

Move to draft space. On 17:28, 29 March 2020, Pharos added to Zoom Video Communications#Use during the COVID-19 pandemic the helpful (?) link "{{main|Coronavirus impact on teleconferencing}}". At that time, this article we're discussing here consisted of one, unsourced sentence. I find that edit by Pharos to Zoom Video Communications incomprehensible. Even now, this article is feeble. But it might go somewhere. When its authors believe that the draft is better (for its subject area) than are articles that already exist, they can ask for a move to article space. -- Hoary (talk) 06:34, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: The reason I did this is precisely because much of the content in that section of Zoom Video Communications is not actually specific to Zoom, but applies to the whole teleconferencing industry during this time. That page should only have Zoom-specific info, and currently it has generic content on the whole industry simply because it is the most commonly-known brand name.--Pharos (talk) 18:35, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect. If the merged material grows to be appropriate for a full article, it can be split back out. Not sure where to merge it to though. If I think of a good target I will come back.

Normally I'd support merging this material into a longer article, but I'm not sure we have a suitable article to merge it to. It's not really about science and technology, it's about the impact of the pandemic on people's lives and work.

Delete. Of the sources from the article:

[59] is an obituary that mentions Miss Haq Home once.
[60] appears to be an organization directly associated with Miss Haq Home
[61] (2011 archive) has no indication that it is a reliable source
[62] only mentions the Miss Haq Home once; may be associated with it

Of the sources I found:

[63] claims Miss Haq Home is a well-known institute and covers the subject, but it is a blog post.

I do not believe this is enough coverage to meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG. userdude 06:07, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The controlling guideline here is WP:NORG, and it is not satisfied. I found a handful of news hits, but all mentions were trivial, so it exists but that's all we can say about it from independent RS, no SIGCOV. I don't see an appropriate redirect target, so deletion it is. Machine translated searching is always tricky and it's possible I missed something, so if someone finds non-english SIGCOV that indicates NORG is met I'd be willing to strike and reconsider.

Dunkin' Donuts Israel[edit]

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

The company seems to be a none notable franchise of Dunkin' Donuts that was only around for a few years. Most of the sources come from a single website that appears to be a news blog. Them and the other sources are trivial coverage. All that said, I'd be fine with it being merged into the normal Dunkin' Donuts article as an alternative to deletion if it's notable enough to be merged.

Comment It seems you didn't even check the articles to see if they actually supported notability. Most of them are not about the company and just trivially mention it in passing, and one doesn't even have any mention of Donkin' Donuts at all. Notability requires in-depth coverage in reliably secondary sources. Which trivial mentions don't count as. More so though with articles that have zero to do with them and where they aren't even mentioned in. --Adamant1 (talk) 02:23, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content. I don't believe it merits a merge or redirect. Topic fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 13:05, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Certainly if there's no consensus to merge, a redirect to Dunkin' Donuts is in order. they are cheap after all. It strikes me as plausible search topic. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 21:53, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Response I disagree. I can't envisage any situation where people aren't just searching for the main topic (Dunkin' Donuts). A paragraph on country-specific information within a main article suffices if required. A redirect is overkill. Just my 2c - I wouldn't care if there was a redirect in any case but in that case you'll have over-zealous editors creating a redirect for each country which would turn into a ridiculous state of affairs.

Merge to Dunkin' Donuts § International as per WP:ATD-M.

Keep--this is better developed than I thought it would be. Everyone knows that Jewish pastries are tasty--and the question of whether a multinational corporation can compete in such a competitive environment is a worthy one. Economists have noticed the reverse phenomenon with respect to tech companies and Japan--a Japanese tech company competitive in Japan is likely to do well internationally due to the the extreme competitive nature of Japan's economic situation. Some countries are worthy of special attention due to being a testing lab so-to-speak. A mere redirect would not do this question justice. I suppose other challenging markets for Dunkin Donuts would be the Czech Republic and France. I checked and it seems this page was created well over a decade after the Israel branch folded. It was created by User:Galatz, who has a banner on his page about how he observes the Sabbath. Why would he be interested in Dunkin Donuts failing in Israel? Well, if I was Czech and Dunkin Donuts failed in the Czech Republic I'd say its proof that my mother's kolaches are superior.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 01:30, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the above, but all of it fits well in the parent article. It is short already and can be condensed further. There is no need for a stand-alone for this, certainly not for a defunct organisation. Havradim (talk) 22:11, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I encourage you to spend some time on the Hebrew Wikipedia. Even on Google translate, you may find some interesting jokes worked into the articles. For example, the article on "Lutheranism" has a picture of a Lutheran church in Australia boasting a prominent Star of David. Maybe it just caught someone's eye as a non-sequitur, but it also seems to be insinuating that Lutherans are crypto-Jews! (Those parts of the Reformation about relying on the scripture and not having a pope, and the doctrine of Justification as being the doctrine on which the church stands and falls, ("the true Kabbalah" as mentioned briefly in On the Freedom of a Christian)...just where did Luther get those ideas from? Who was right there in Germany? Touche!) The English Wikipedia could use some Jewish insight and humor. Better than making the reader do Google translate on the Hebrew one.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 02:58, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One day, two threes were fourcasting the possibility of cannibalism in the span of five days. Six was found calling the emergency number reporting canabalistic behavior. "Seven ate nine!" cried 6. That same day, 7 went to church to ask for forgiveness for his sines. "I ate nine," he said while crying a ray of sorrow. The priest looked at 7, and said that "Yes, you do need to forgive yourself. Return to 6. Together, you will become the product we were all looking for. You'll see y." 7 skipped 14 blocks back home, as the priest told himself, "you can't trust primal numbers." 7 returned to 6, and asked him for forgiveness. "Sure," said 6. "That bloke, he's so square, I don't know what to do with him. I intended to take him out myself." 6 wasn't a religious guy, but 7 was the right angle he needed.

Keep Lutetium does have multiple applications, it could be used in refineries and to create compounds such as Lutetium tantalate that are used with x-rays. Not to mention it is crucial for understanding molecular and quantum chemistry and materials science and for the completion of the periodic table. On the other hand, if you want to delete something that is way too similar to other things and has no practical applications, I would suggest string theory as the 10²⁷²⁰⁰⁰ string theories are too similar to each other and make no physical predictions whatsoever. 107.77.173.61 (talk) 11:40, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
