Written in best MySpace autobiography style - okay, that might be remedied (by complete rewriting); but it also manages to provide not a single bit of independent, in-depth sourcing, as far as I can see, while re-using the same, obviously self-authored promo blurb no less than seven times. Demonstrated notability highly doubtful. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete page is a minefield of unreliable sources that do nothing to establish notability. As nom said, even if this person was somehow able to meet a notability guideline, the entire article would have to be ripped from the studs. Sulfurboy (talk) 03:18, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It is articles like this that lead to the largest birth year category being 1989, and lead to us having 950,000 articles on living people. The later might actually be justified, but many of the people we currently have articles on are not notable. This article has existed for 8 years, which is not even close to a record for a sub-standard sourced article. Earlier this year I nominated an article, on Barahir, which had existed I believe it was 16 years, unless it was 17 years. That article never had any sourced at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:02, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As with Jason Hazeley, I'm not finding sufficient independent notability to have a separate article on the subject; and his works (books and programmes) do not appear to have brought demonstrable attention to him. Should be redirected to Ben & Jason, where both members receive appropriate short coverage. See also Bollocks to Alton Towers, a book co-authored by Morris and Hazeley, also up for AfD. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:37, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

this appears to be a run of the mill dental manufacturing company with no coverage in newspapers (even in archives), books or the like.

  • Keep - Other equally prominent dental maufacturers such as KaVo Kerr, Dentsply Sirona, and Ivoclar Vivadent have Wikipedia articles that I find informative. Wikipedia doesn't seem to be a universally sought-out dental products marketing platform, inasmuch as other big dental companies like Hu-Friedy, Belmont, and GC-America don't even have articles here; it's not like this is obviously an attempt to sell dental products on Wikipedia. I also notice that this article has recently been edited, cutting out information that I know from personal experience was true and not utterly useless. Personally, I like the fact that I can find info on companies here on Wikipedia. If I need to learn a bit about FRAM, or OtterBox, or Fujitsu, I don't mind that they have ad-free articles here that anyone can edit. Nothing personal, but I would prefer it if the editor who cut this article down and nominated it for deletion had found better references and improved the article instead. Cellodont (talk) 16:28, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please provide sources to substantiate your keep vote? The fact that other stuff exists is irrelevant. I did a thorough WP:BEFORE including searching books and newspaper archives and there were 0 in depth sources about this company. Also, wikipedia is not a directory. Praxidicae (talk) 16:35, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the good point. My inclination is for the article to stay, but your point is correct. Please, for the sake of consistency, look at the other articles I mentioned. Their references are chiefly internal company documents. Cellodont (talk) 17:52, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather not. If you think they are not sufficient, you should nominate them for deletion. Other articles existing have no impact on a deletion discussion, please revise your vote as per consensus and policy and find sources to support the inclusion of this article. Praxidicae (talk) 18:02, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I nominated them for you. The what about-ism to justify a keep vote was extremely weak. While I doubt it will change now that those articles also have AfD's, at least it will hopefully lead to getting rid of a few more articles about none notable companies. As there are way to many of them and way to many excuses are made to justify their existence. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:29, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Vexations for the sake of transparency and fairness, I did remove a lot of sources and content prior to nominating it (see here.) However, those sources are insufficient, they're the companies website, a bloomberg business listing and another press release. Praxidicae (talk) 19:22, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Clearly intended as a promotional article; original author was blocked; multiple updates by IP addresses associated with the company. Seems to be a real conflict of interest going on. Aside from that, notability has never been established and should have been deleted a long time ago. I find nothing except a few press releases and passing mentions in trade publications. Doesn't meet basic standard requiring in-depth coverage from reliable, independent sources. Glendoremus (talk) 01:22, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I am unable to locate any significant coverage with in-depth information on the company and containing independent content, topic therefore fails GNG/WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 12:09, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @KingSkyLord: The WLAF is the former name for NFL Europe, which was a minor league. WP:NGRIDIRON specifically states that minor league players are not presumed notable unless they meet another criterion. Being an NFL draft pick is not a criteria for notability inclusion anywhere.

  • Keep I don't understand and probably somebody can explain it to me, in Wikipedia there are HUNDREDS of articles that have less merit than this one to exist and are never nominated for deletion. This player, actually was part of 2 NFL practice squads and played professional football (even if you mention that it is in a minor league). So please explain why keep instead articles in Wikipedia like these ones: Jake Dombrowski, Justin Roland, Ryan Anderson (punter), Brian Stahovich, Kip Smith, etc. The Kip Smith article has even been nominated for deletion twice and it hasn't gone through, even though his record is in high school which is a playing level inferior to a "minor professional league" ?

  • @Makers267: We have a policy called WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which means each article must be assessed on its own merits for deletion. It may be those other players are also not notable but have not been assessed yet. I also find the inclusion of the Kip Smith article particularly egregious, as he only received coverage from papers from the two colleges where he punted, but the fact we've kept that article has absolutely no bearing on whether or not McDaniel is notable. Hope that helps. SportingFlyer T·C 08:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've nominated the others, besides Kip Smith (who seems to be considered notable), for deletion. However, as SportingFlyer notes, other articles' worthiness for Wikipedia do not have any effect on whether the Kenneth McDaniel article should be kept or not. Natg 19 (talk) 18:37, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Natg 19: Can you clarify if you engaged in WP:BEFORE before nominating these other articles? Cbl62 (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did try to do some research on them. I was unsure about Ryan Anderson, but nominated him for deletion for a more thorough discussion. Natg 19 (talk) 19:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I looked at the Anderson article first and thought this might be "Pick on Punters Day". Cbl62 (talk) 19:34, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    I think this article has gone through a few different companies (originally the Seattle/NY one, last seen here, then looks like it was hijacked into a Dubai company by Blessin93, then Naveennath6966 tried to change it to one based in India, I nominated for deletion after reverting their edits and seeing that there was nothing here to start with). There also might be some name changes in there, since it's gone between "The Film Company" and "The Company Films" at least once. I did a second BEFORE check, and neither name turned up anything noteworthy, though I'll concede that "The Film Company" is a very hard name to do a BEFORE search on. creffett (talk) 20:27, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a doubtfully-notable poet has been attracting BLP violations and vandalism since at least 2018. There are only two possible RS in the article. The first, the Daily Beast article, simply aggregates and repeats a bunch of online accusations of illegal behavior that have never been tested in any legal forum and also is very dubious in its identification of the article subject. Its use without qualification certainly violates WP:BLPCRIME and even with attribution shouldn't be used to support the assertions being made. The second, the Brooklyn Rail article, is an interview about his poetry. The book of poetry he authored was printed by a very small publisher and even granting the Brooklyn Rail interview and the non-RS reviews, attracted almost no attention. According to WorldCat, it is available in all of 10 libraries and from its Amazon listing appears to be out of print already so its impact on the reading public is also doubtful. TL;DR: This is a vandal-bait article about a subject that does not pass WP:GNG and whose notability under any applicable SNG is slim to none.

Comment there are two separate issues in this nomination. The matter of the page's repeated vandalism, and the identification of the individual who's been accused of criminal behaviour, is not something that can be dealt with by an AfD discussion. I share the nominator's alarm, and if the outcome of this debate is to !keep, then the page needs to be protected from ongoing vandalism - and several edits in its history need to be redacted. As to the separate issue of whether the subject meets GNG, I agree that the page should be deleted as it clearly falls short of WP:NCREATIVE. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 17:58, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTNEWS standard doesn't apply here for a myriad of reasons including: 1) Crashes with 10+ fatalities are exceedingly rare in the US (accidents happening that cause damage to an airport, even more so) meaning this isn't just a non-notable or WP:ROUTINE news story. 2) Coverage on the subject has been going on for nearly a year now, showing enduring notability and interest beyond the short term news cycle.

  • Delete: as per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Every year there are thousands of light aircraft accidents like this one. Nothing distinguishes this from the myriad of other ones that we have no articles about: no wiki-notable people involved, no lasting effects, no airworthiness directives, no changes to regulations, no changes to ATC procedures, just sweep up the wreckage and move on. This accident is not any more notable than any boat, bus or car crash with deaths. Please do not mistake the news media's breathless coverage of every last aircraft crash, while ignoring all other transportation accidents, as making this notable. That is why we specify Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. - Ahunt (talk) 16:00, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I agree that there are thousands of light aircraft accidents each year, but disagree with the "like this one" notion. Crashes with this many deaths are exceedingly rare since most accidents happen with single or duel occupant planes. There can't be more than maybe a dozen accidents with this many fatalities in the US in the past few years. Agree also to no changes in regulations or procedures, but this may be due to the investigation being ongoing. Cheers. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:23, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. This incident does not comply with WP:AIRCRASH. -- Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 16:39, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Dodger67, Per that essay you linked: "Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting." This is both AfD and a stand-alone accident article. Sulfurboy (talk) 16:43, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, can you clarify what it doesn't comply with in that policy? From what I see all that essay is about is when to include an accident on an airline/airport/aircraft page and this actually passes two of the three prongs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sulfurboy (talk) 16:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Regarding the previous comments: if some aspect of the crash spawns an AD or a regulatory or policy change, then the article can be recreated at that time. Concerning WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, the only news story from the past 6 months about the accident concerns a lawsuit filed by the survivor's families, which falls under WP:NOTNEWS; wrongful-death lawsuits are (sadly) routine after multiple-fatality GA air crashes where a (presumably insured) third-party operator is involved. Nothing indicates that the lawsuit is any different than myriad others. Carguychris (talk) 17:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment From comments at the Wikiproject for Aviation discussion about this, it's even admitted to that in the past articles such as this are typically kept in AfD. Yet, here comes a flood of delete votes all from users associated with this specific project all chirping the same thing. Just because it was a newsworthy event does not mean it falls under WP:NOTNEWS, that's not what that policy is for. And all these delete votes seem a bit gatekeepy and in the face of known previous precedent and consensus. Seems like you all need to work together to try to get consensus on a notability policy surrounding accidents instead of incorrectly using your own essays like above (and as seen in other AfDs). Might save some time in the future so you all don't have to keep ballot stuffing individual AfDs? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯Sulfurboy (talk) 17:53, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: We have a longstanding consensus on accidents like this, which is what you are seeing expressed here and which is in line with Wikipedia policies, such as WP:NOTNEWS. My comment here was an expression of frustration that whenever non-notable aircraft crashes are brought to AfD they are inevitably opposed by editors unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies and also unfamiliar with aircraft accidents and the lack of enduring changes as a result of most light aircraft and military aircraft accidents. Instead what we see is that consensus and policy gets drowned out by "gosh an airplane crashed, we must have an article in that!" I never hear that about car accidents, truck or bus accidents, motorcycle accidents or even bicycle or boating accidents. This is solely because editors rely on coverage in the general, non-aviation media, which, as I noted, breathlessly reports on aircraft accidents in a way that they do not report on other transportation accidents. This is just due to media sensationalism and nothing else. We are an encyclopedia, we don't need to let non-specialized media reports decide our notably for us and in fact we have a policy on that: WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, which explains: "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion". - Ahunt (talk) 20:51, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I'm quite certain if a motorcycle or bicycle accident had 10 fatalities it would receive significant press coverage if for no other reason than the crazy circumstances in which that could happen. Further, bus or boat accidents with that many fatalities would almost certainly be reported on, not sure what notion or evidence you have to back your suggestion. These are all complete non-sequiturs anyways. All the declines rely on this idea that this is just routine or happens all of the time (including one crazy suggestion that thousands of accidents like this happen each year) when you all, considering your involvment with the project, should know that accidents with this many deaths is exceedingly rare on US soil.
      Also, quite bold to suggest most people coming into these AfDs are "editors unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies". Sulfurboy (talk) 21:11, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There have been numerous King Air crashes over the years; we only covered a handful of them: the unusual ones and the ones with notable victims (and a couple of other King Air articles should probably be AfD-ed too). --Deeday-UK (talk) 09:44, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Draftify: I would suggest "Keeping" the article until the report is released; that will give us a better indication of the noteworthiness of the accident. In lieu of that, I would suggesting "Draftifying" it. I also echo Sulfurboy's thoughts. Dflaw4 (talk) 08:40, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but trim. (Here from a request on WT:WIR) My analysis of whether book reviews in this version pass RS (based on whether they appear to have editorial control over reviews by separate reviewers and editors rather than being a one-person blog):
    • References 3, 6, 13 (Slug Mag): reliable
    • Reference 21, 24 (This is Horror): reliable
    • References 33, 35 (The Big Smoke): reliable
    • Reference 34 (Cultured Vultures): reliable
    • References 1-2, 9, 11-12, 14, 17, 20, 23, 25-32, 36: not reviews
    • References 4-5, 7-8, 10, 15, 19, 22: self-published reviews, not reliable
    • Reference 18 (Horror Palace): not reliable (pay-for-play)
Overall I count eight small-press reviews that I think are reliable, of multiple books, enough for WP:AUTHOR for me. But they were difficult to find among all the junk references, which should be trimmed back to only reliable sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:51, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per David Eppstein. Thank you for the analysis, and I agree the stragglers should be trimmed.

It is amazing a BLP article can be created, most likely by copying a filmography section from an unreliable source evidenced by consensus at WP:USERG and Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb, and remain for years (created June 8, 2006) as unsourced. At a point, providing an "External link" as a source was somewhat allowed, but as the reputation of Wikipedia has strengthen this has become less an "allowable criteria", not to mention sometimes things just "fly under the radar" a long time.

  • Delete. Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC. I find no coverage that is reliable or isn't churnalism. --Kinu t/c 19:10, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I just noticed that the article admits the subject is "pursuing post-graduate doctoral study," hence the likelihood of meeting WP:NPROF is slim to none, and the vague claim of being "a department member" at LSE adds nothing to establish notability; to wit, I'm a doctoral student and I teach courses, therefore I am a department member at my institution also, but certainly that gives nothing toward passing WP:GNG.
    Also, I note that many of the IPs currently editing this article are from the same UK ISP and range (83.216.*.*). It could mean nothing, but it could suggest some autobiographical or other issues.
    Finally, looking at the contributions of the author User:Rubelantri, a lot of the articles they've created or edited have been worked on in alphabetical order. Maybe it's nothing, but it suggests that there might be some undisclosed paid editing, i.e., going down a client list alphabetically? I don't mean to cast aspersions, but that did jump out as slightly odd. --Kinu t/c 08:42, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I see no signs of WP:NPROF here. The best case for GNG is via two profiles: [20] in The Statesman (India) and [21] in Manchester Evening News. The first profile raises a number of red flags for me, and I doubt its independence. I'm not sure on the 2nd. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 04:50, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that these sources are questionable. The byline on the Statesman piece is the Statesman News Service (SNS) Web Desk, suggesting it may be aggregated, possibly from a press release, rather than written in house (to wit, it seems highly doubtful that an Indian newspaper interviewed her). As for the the Manchester Evening News piece, if one clicks the name of the author, it notes that it is an advertorial, suggesting it might be paid coverage. A search on that author's name also indicates that she is an "advertiser" and "creative copyrighter," indicating that it is likely not an actual news piece. Most of the given sources seem to fall into one or both of these categories. It's also quite telling that these two sources and several others were published either in January, right before this article was created, or on April 3, right before it ended up here. --Kinu t/c 08:42, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  1. First reference is from International Business Times

  3. Third reference is from The Statesman
  4. Fourth reference is from Deccan Chronicle
  5. Fifth reference is from Mid Day


As the user who has nominated the articles for deletion and said that the reference are press release is false, the company is featured in-depth by reliable publishers. Also the nominator's claim that "fake sources masquerading as legitimate news outlets" is not true. All source are genuine and reputed news outlet. As per Wikipedia criteria of notability for company, The company has Significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources. Meme Lord 519 - (talk) 18:56, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Statesmen is not a reliable source in the slightest, IBTimes publishes press releases and paid articles (as is the case for this source) without identifying it, yahoo is a press reelase, deccanchronicle is not reliable and also a paid for press release and same for Mid-day. This is the typical type of churnalism we see from many of these outlets, and it's fairly obvious these are paid for pieces. Perhaps you could also explain why a business that as far as I can tell only operates in the US is only being covered by Indian media outlets that are well known for their problem with pay-for-publication/churnalism? Praxidicae (talk) 19:04, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Statement is 145 year old news organization which is pretty reliable with a daily circulation of 180,000. Deccan chronicle too is well trusted with over 1.3 million circulation. Mid-day is reliable too. Technically speaking. Now coming to "paid article", theoretically speaking anyone can pay to journalist of NYtimes, BBC too, which are considered as a epitome of reliable source. The source are pretty reliable and not blacklisted on Wikipedia. There is no genuine proof or community census on Wikipedia that these websites are known for "pay-for-publication" or churnalishm. Also, there is no rule that the reliable source must be from the similar country of the topic.

As the Nomniator has said "it's fairly obvious these", I've just read Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, it's not obvious, as a nominator could you please elaborate? Also it's pretty racist to say that top Indian news website are not reliable and anyone could buy article in these site. Theoretically speaking anyone can pay to any publishers for coverage. Meme Lord 519 (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's clear you're also not new here but you should check out the difference between Statesmen's web edition and printed edition. One of these things is not like the other. But feel free to answer my other questions. The pieces you cited are all paid press releases. Praxidicae (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I concur with Praxidicae's assessment of the sources. Why would a company that has no presence in a country be featured in their media? It makes zero sense, unless you factor in paid "journalism".
My assessment of the sources, for posterity:
The link for the IB Times source isn't functional, but searching on their website reveals this "article" that is almost (if not entirely) identical to several other of the sources.
The Yahoo source is *clearly* a press release published by "Accesswire" - From Google search result listing: "Our newswire features a comprehensive, flat-fee Press Release service. Generate quality engagement with real-time analytics to improve visibility and expand..."
The Statesman source has no by-line, is highly promotional with lots of marketing buzzwords and namedrops, and doesn't have any apparent tie-ins to any other content on the site, and strangely considers the founders to be all male. "The men behind this multi-million-dollar company..." when at least two of the three are clearly not. As such, it's a piss-poor marketing attempt by an outside agency, it seems.
The Deccan Chronicle source does not identify an author in the byline, which is not a good sign. In fact, there is an explicit disclaimer at the bottom, which states: "Disclaimer: This is featured content. No Deccan Chronicle Group journalist is involved in creating this content. The Group also takes no responsibility for this content." I'll give them credit for at least having some sort of transparency, which is more than I can say for The Statesman source.
For the Mid-Day source: Firstly, any article title that uses "ummatched popularity" is immediately suspect to me. Then the byline has "Partnered Content" in it (which is a code word for press release).
As noted above, several of these sources are nearly or entirely identical in their contents, which is another clue that we're looking at press releases, instead of legitimate news articles. Also, like the Deccan Chronicle, Mid-Day adds a disclaimer: "The article has been sourced from third-party source and Mid-day accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability, trustworthiness, reliability and data of the text. All information provided on this article is for informational purposes only." Anyway, the article itself has already been deleted G5, so this should probably be closed as delete in any case.

The result was delete. ~65kb of text between two participants can obscure what is a fairly clear consensus that McHugh lacks notability. With-in that there is lots of discussion about whether NPOL is an alternative to or shortcut of GNG (my take is that NPOL pretty explicitly says it serves as a shortcut to GNG unlike some SNGs where are actually alternatives) and discussion about the Irish media landscape. Ultimately despite the detail of the case put forward to suggest notability there is not consensus among participating editors that the sources and interpretations offered to suggest notability do so - indeed multiple participants who suggest deletion explicitly reject both NPOL and GNG. While there were minimal !votes after the case for keep was presented there was ample discussion over a enough time (more than 3 days) and so there was a chance for previous !voters to switch their positions or for more new participants to validate it. And while sometimes a well-written keep after several deletes can be a reason for a relist, there was ample discussion by multiple editors of that case which would, on its, own lead to no consensus. However, those were not the only participants and the participation of the other 9 editors (including 1 editor favoring keep) from before that keep case was presented (plus the nominator) also deserves weight which is how I find that there is a clear delete consensus here.

And just because she got a brief blip of WP:BLP1E coverage for scoring a rhetorical punch in a debate, against another candidate who also lost, is not in and of itself evidence that her candidacy passes the ten year test as a reason why people would still be looking for information about her in 2030. Obviously, no prejudice against recreation in the future if she accomplishes something more notable, like actually winning a future election. Bearcat (talk) 16:19, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. Highly-notable politician, who is a household name in Ireland and easily meets WP:GNG.
The nomination is based on the nominator's misreading of WP:NPOL. All it does is to set a threshold by which politicians may be presumed notable without requiring specific evidence of that they meet GNG. It does NOT set a test which must be met to establish notability, which is how the nominator seems to be interpreting it ... and it is sad to see several editors !voting based on that false assumption.
@Bearcat goes even further, setting a test that she accomplishes something more notable, which is no part of policy: WP:Notabilty is not about accomplishment. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of policy, because plenty of people who accomplished highly significant things do not meet WP:N simply because they have not been written about in enough reliable secondary sources ... and plenty of people achieve notability without accomplishment. Policy is very clear about this: the lead of WP:N says:

Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity—although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below

Bearcat should apply policy, instead of imposing their own value judgement. But if you want to make value judgments on achievement, McHugh's success was to make the Green Party a significant contender outside the Dublin area. A lot of the West was deeply hostile to the Greens, but McHugh took her party from no-hoper to serious contender under Ireland's Single Transferable Vote system:
The comment by User:Jnestorius that routine coverage of election campaigns is not noteworthy is a misrepresentation of the facts. The coverage of McHugh is far from routine; overwhelming majority of unsuccessful Irish general election candidates get few or no mentions in the national media. McHugh was the Green candidate in the 2020 Irish general election in the Mayo constituency, so compare her with a) Tate Donnelly, the 2020 Green candidate in Cavan–Monaghan, b) T.P. O'Reilly, an unsuccessful Fine Gael candidate in Cavan–Monaghan who got roughly the same number of votes as McHugh:
That is a whole order of magnitude more coverage. McHugh is vastly more notable than many candidates who did win a seat in the 2020 election, e.g.:
Now look at some of the specific examples of coverage. Please note that this is an incomplete listing from only the first 5 pages (100 hits) of the 234 hits on Google News:
So I agree with User:AugusteBlanqui that the nominator did not do a thorough WP:BEFORE. I hope that User:Jnestorius will withdraw this nomination ... and if not, I hope that the closer will remember that WP:NOTVOTE. Facts and policy count for more than the pile-on of unevidenced and apparently un-researched assertions which is sadly evident above. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, I do not apply "value judgements", and this is not the first time you have accused me of acting in bad faith for simply disagreeing with me on a matter of policy — in fact, I have already had to warn you in the past that I was prepared to report you to WP:ANI if you did not stop attacking me.
Now, to be clear: a lot of Wikipedia policies can be interpreted in a lot of different ways, and can be easily twisted out of shape to support things they were not intended to support. So it's not enough to just say that since a person meets the technical letter of one policy, she's exempted from having to meet other policies and standards. Specifically, because every single candiate in every single election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, but we have an established consensus that every single candidate in every single election everywhere is not always notable enough for permanent coverage in Wikipedia, it is not enough to say "campaign coverage exists, ergo GNG met and she doesn't have to meet NPOL anymore" — if it were, then every candidate could always say that and NPOL would never actually apply to anybody anymore.
So the notability test for an unsuccessful candidate is not simply "some evidence of campaign coverage exists" — it is that the campaign coverage demonstrates a reason why even if she died tomorrow and never accomplished another thing as long as she lived, the candidacy itself was already so uniquely more special and more notable than everybody else's candidacies that she would already pass the ten year test for enduring significance. But that is not demonstrated by helping to increase her party's overall vote total from a losing percentage to a higher but still losing percentage; it is not demonstrated by being the bylined author of op-eds about other subjects; it is not demonstrated by giving Q&A interviews in the first person; and it is not demonstrated by giving soundbite to the media about her opinions on political issues within the context of the election campaign, just the same as every other candidate also did.
Even The New York Times, incidentally, is not an automatic notability-clincher for every single person who gets their name into that paper at all. It still covers purely local people of local interest who have achieved nothing encyclopedic; town councillors in Hempstead, for example, are not automatically more special than town councillors in Podunk, Arizona just because their routine local coverage happens to be in The New York Times instead of the Podunk Post; nor are unsuccessful candidates in New York City elections deemed more special than unsuccessful candidates elsewhere just because the routine local coverage of their losing campaign happens to appear in The New York Times instead of the Littleville Advertiser. Even New Yorkers still have to clear our notability standards exactly the same way as anybody else — namely, by accomplishing something that passes the subject-specific notability guideline for their occupation — and are not automatically more special than everybody else just because they live in or near New York City. So saying that an Irish paper is the Irish equivalent of The New York Times isn't a mic drop, because even The New York Times itself isn't always a mic drop.
But most importantly, the idea that the existence of campaign coverage is not automatically enough to hand an unelected candidate a GNG-based exemption from actually having to pass NPOL is not "my personal interpretation" of our inclusion rules for politicians: it's a long-established consensus that was established and upheld by a lot of Wikipedia discussions on a lot of unelected candidates. GNG is not, and never has been, just "count the footnotes and keep anything that passes an arbitrary number" — it also takes into account the context of what the coverage was given for, and deprecates some contexts as not notability-clinching coverage in and of itself. Bands and musicians, for instance, are not exempted from having to pass WP:NMUSIC just because they can show some local coverage in their local media. Writers are not exempted from having to pass WP:NAUTHOR just because they can show some coverage in their local media. School board trustees and municipal or county councillors are not exempted from having to pass NPOL just because they can show some coverage in their local media. High school athletes are not exempted from having to pass WP:ATHLETE just because they can show some human interest coverage in their local media about their efforts to get back onto the team after losing their big toe in a lawn mower accident. And unelected candidates for political office are not exempted from having to pass NPOL just because they can show the same campaign coverage that every unelected candidate can always show: either their campaign coverage demonstrates a reason why their candidacy would pass the ten-year test for enduring significance, or they're out. Not because I said that, but because established consensus says that.
And all of that is precisely why you are not entitled to accuse me of being a bad actor just because my understanding of policy is different from your understanding of policy. Wikipedia policies are never just about the letter of what the policy says: we also have a lot of established consensus around how the policies are interpreted in cases of differing opinion, and the established consensus around candidates is what I said it was: the existence of campaign coverage is not automatically enough to exempt a candidate from having to pass NPOL, because every candidate can always show the existence of campaign coverage. Bearcat (talk) 20:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. @Bearcat is reading way too much into this, finding stuff that isn't there and ignoring what is there.
I did not accuse [Bearcat] of being a bad actor or of acting in bad faith. I accused Bearcat of getting one part of policy wrong, and I did not question Bearcat good faith in that error. However, Bearcat's long ranting and rambling reply makes it very hard for me sustain that assumption of good faith.
Now to the substance. In the midst of that vast screed of unevidenced assertion of generalities, Bearcat has chosen to entirely ignore the actual evidence which I presented, and instead has chosen in repeatedly invent one straw man after another:
  1. Bearcat fundamentally misunderstands WP:NPOL. NPOL is not a requirement; it is an alternative path to notability for notability, and there is no policy basis for Bearcat's claim that unelected candidates for political office are not exempted from having to pass NPOL. I assert this without equivocation, because the notably guideline is absolutely explicit about this, at WP:N#Additional_criteria:

    A person who does not meet these additional criteria may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.

  2. Bearcat wrote: Even The New York Times, incidentally, is not an automatic notability-clincher for every single person who gets their name into that paper at all.
    Complete straw man, as is Bearcat's hyperbolic attempt to misrepresent me as having claimed that it was a mic drop. I never claimed that any one mention in any one paper was a clincher, nor did I claim anything remotely resembling that.
    The reality is that I posted a list of 16 articles in the mainstream national media, all of which primarily about McHugh, and noted the significance of each paper. Bearcat's comparison of that to every single person who gets their name into that paper at all is an extreme case of misrepresentation through hyperbole.
  3. Bearcat writes: Even The New York Times, incidentally, is not an automatic notability-clincher for every single person who gets their name into that paper at all.
    There is a second complete straw man in the same comment: I explicitly selected only those articles which were substantively about McHugh. I did not include anything which is a mere namecheck, or even in which she is secondary-but-still-significant topic. Bearcat's comment is again calculated to misrepresent the evidence posted.
  4. Bearcat asserts that is not demonstrated by helping to increase her party's overall vote total from a losing percentage to a higher but still losing percentage; it is not demonstrated by being the bylined author of op-eds about other subjects; it is not demonstrated by giving Q&A interviews in the first person; and it is not demonstrated by giving soundbite to the media about her opinions on political issues within the context of the election campaign, just the same as every other candidate also did.
    Again, those are more Beracat inventions of arbitrary tests for which Bearcat might make an interesting case ... but which are no part of the guideline. Bearcat should please learn to distinguish between actual policy/guideline, and their their own highly creative interpretations of policy/guideline.
  5. Bearcat makes repeated references to campaign coverage. But if Bearcat had actually bothered to read what I wrote and to check the links I posted, they would see a) some of articles are from outside of election campaign periods (e.g. [25], [26]), and b) I explicitly note that the set I posted was a subset of the 100 hits I scanned, out of a total of 234: I didn't even get to look at the headlines of the next 134; c) that there is clear not evidence that Bearcat's claim that this is just the same as every other candidate also did is simply false. Most worryingly, Bearcat would have known it to be false if they had studied the evidence before replying.
  6. Bearcat wrote: Bands and musicians, for instance, are not exempted from having to pass WP:NMUSIC just because they can show some local coverage in their local media. Writers are not exempted from having to pass WP:NAUTHOR just because they can show some coverage in their local media. School board trustees and municipal or county councillors are not exempted from having to pass NPOL just because they can show some coverage in their local media..
    This is yet more hyperbolic straw men. Again, I repeat that I posted evidence of 16 pieces of substantial coverage per WP:GNG in the mainstream national media. The effect of this ramble about musicians and writers is to convey the wholly false impression that the case for notability rests on local media.. All this verbiage about local media is a complete red herring, which has nothing to do with the actual evidence.
    I cannot know whether this verbose irrelevancy has been constricted by Bearcat as a deliberate obfuscation, or whether they are simply unable to comprehend that it is not relevant to a case case where there is clear evidence of huge slew of national media coverage. But either way, it is disruptive nonsense.
  7. Bearcat wrote: it is not enough to say 'campaign coverage exists, ergo GNG met and she doesn't have to meet NPOL anymore'. Again, I said no such thing: this is yet another straw man invented by Bearcat's fertile imagination, as Bearcat repeatedly misrepresents what I did actually post.
    I posted evidence that she has received massive coverage in national media. I posted links to sixteen piece of substantive coverage in the national media, and only 4 in local media. It's not just campaign coverage, and that which is campaign coverage is demonstrably exceptional. Bearcat's summary of the evidence as campaign coverage exists is yet another rhetorical flourish which uses massively deceptive misrepresentations to completely distort the nature of the evidence presented.
  8. Bearcat asserts: So the notability test for an unsuccessful candidate is not simply "some evidence of campaign coverage exists" — it is that the campaign coverage demonstrates a reason why even if she died tomorrow and never accomplished another thing as long as she lived, the candidacy itself was already so uniquely more special and more notable than everybody else's candidacies that she would already pass the ten year test for enduring significance.
    Again, lots of verbiage which ignores the quantitative and qualitative I posted evidence that McHugh's campaign is special because it received an order of magnitude more coverage than other unsuccessful candidates, and vastly more than some successful candidates.
Per WP:Consensus#Through_discussion Wikipedia:Consensus#Through_discussion. Sadly, Bearcat has chosen here to create multiple straw men, to wholly ignore the actual evidence, and serially misrepresent both policy and what I wrote.
If Bearcat wants to go to WP:ANI, then go ahead ... but beware the WP:BOOMERANG when more eyes are brought to bear on the pile of hyperbole, straw men, red herrings, denials of evidence, and fabrications of policy with which Bearcat is trying to sway this discussion.

Firstly, you most certainly did accuse me of misrepresenting policy, unless you somehow consider the words "setting a test which is no part of policy" and "fundamental misunderstanding of policy" and "should apply policy instead of their own value judgement" to be substantively different from "misrepresenting policy". Just because I summarized your words instead of quoting them literally verbatim doesn't mean I was wrong about what you said.
You did very explicitly call attention to one paper's status as Ireland's equivalent to The New York Times, for example — so if you weren't intending to imply that "New York Times = automatic booyah because it's the New York Times", then what else was even the point of the comparison at all, given that without that implication the metaphor literally serves no discernible purpose at all? As well, you claim that she has coverage outside of election-related contexts — but I'd kindly invite you to review which sources actually exist outside of election campaigns, because the only one you've explicitly identified as such is still covering her in the context of expressing a personal opinion about the upcoming election campaign, and thus is still campaign-related. It doesn't automatically count as "coverage independent of election" just because it's dated outside of an active election campaign period, if the substance of what the article is about is still election-related. And even in terms of the volume of media hits, a person who runs as a candidate in two elections would be merely expected to be able to show about twice as much campaign coverage as somebody who only ran once, so she isn't automatically more special than other candidates on that basis either.
Ireland is also a country which does not even have the kind of meaningful distinction between "local" and "national" media that exists in, say, North America. According to our article about Media in the Republic of Ireland, there's no such thing as a non-national daily in Ireland at all — all the daily papers are automatically national, and the regional or local papers are exclusively weekly. And similarly, virtually all television service in Ireland is national, with no evidence of regional or local stations independently producing separate regional or local newscasts — even the "regional" news show on RTÉ One, according to its article, is still a single nationally broadcast show which covers human interest and cultural stories — so all election coverage on all Irish television networks is also inherently national, simply because there are no non-national television news operations to produce any. So election candidates, especially in European Parliament elections where there are only three nationwide seats, would still simply be expected to automatically have "national" coverage, simply because that's where the political coverage of national elections happens in the first place.
So the national coverage fails to distinguish her as more special than other candidates, because every candidate in a national election in Ireland always has "national" coverage by virtue of the way Irish media works on an almost entirely national scale — and the volume of coverage fails to single her out as markedly more special than other candidates, simply because she ran and lost in two national elections rather than just one, and thus would simply be expected to have roughly double the volume of campaign coverage compared to somebody who only ran once. And you still have yet to demonstrate your assertion that she has additional coverage outside of the context of election campaigns, because the only hit you've specifically labelled as such is still campaign-related.
And as for how hyperbolic and strawmanny and redherringy and distracty and denialy I am, I can assure you that I've got a well-established and well-earned and well-deserved and quite accurate reputation around here for being exactly none of those things whatsoever. Again, just because I summarized your words instead of repeating your exact words verbatim doesn't make me wrong about what you said. Bearcat (talk) 00:07, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearcat: please stop playing these games. This FUD is timewasting and disruptive.
  1. You write: just because I summarized your words instead of repeating your exact words verbatim doesn't make me wrong about what you said.
    The problem is not one of summary. The problem is that you repeatedly chose to either grossly misrepresent what I had clearly written, lading it with your own false assumptions; and that you systematically ignore whole bundles of evidence which don't suit your pre-deterined, policy-denying outcome.
  2. Stop moving the goalposts.
    In your post 12.41, you claimed that I accused [you] of acting in bad faith and that accuse me of being a bad actor. The reality is that in my post of 19:50, I accused you of setting a test that she accomplishes something more notable, which is no part of policy and imposing their own value judgement. I did not suggest bad faith; you chose to read that into my words, just as you also choose to read into my words many other things which are not there. As I explicitly stated in my second reply, it was only after your reply to my first post that I began to abandon the AGF, because the evidence of bad faith was getting too strong to ignore. And you continue to offer yet more evidence of your bad faith.
  3. You write You did very explicitly call attention to one paper's status as Ireland's equivalent to The New York Times, for example — so if you weren't intending to imply that "New York Times = automatic booyah because it's the New York Times", then what else was even the point of the comparison at all, given that without that implication the metaphor literally serves no discernible purpose at all?.
    Sigh. Please do at least try to read before replying. I noted that to assert the the Irish Times is a significant reliable source, as required by WP:GNG. I also made similar comments on the first mention of the other national media sources which I cited.
    It appears that you are unable or unwilling to distinguish between:
    a) multiple observation of the significance per policy of the source of each publisher of a piece of substantive coverage;
    b) some childish booyah comment about a lone link of your own imagination.
    This goes to the core of GNG, and if after all your time on WP you cannot or will not make that distinction, then please desist from participating in such discussions. Or are you simply trying by sheer volume of posting to erect a smokescreen around the fact that there are at least 16 items of intellectually-independent substantial coverage in reliable sources?
  4. You wrote Ireland is also a country which does not even have the kind of meaningful distinction between "local" and "national" media that exists in, say, North America.
    This is utter fantasy. The Mayo Advertiser and The Connaught Telegraph are local; they do not have national reach. The fact that they they publish weekly rather than daily does not alter the fact that they are local. (Frequency ≠ Geography. They are separate concepts).
  5. You wrote: all election coverage on all Irish television networks is also inherently national, simply because there are no non-national television news operations.
    Surprisingly for Bearcat's comments at this XFD, that is entirely true. Ireland has only national TV stations.
    Unsurprisingly, it is yet another addition to Bearcat's large pile of red herrings, because:
    a) even if there is no local TV, national TV is still national TV;
    b) No TV coverage has been cited by me or anyone else as evidence of McHugh's notability, so it is all utterly irrelevant. Yet more pointless verbiage and FUD.
  6. You wrote: especially in European Parliament elections where there are only three nationwide seats.
    Yet more fanatasy. The reality that is that there are actually 13 seats, none of them nationwide. There are currently three constituencies, each of which has multiple seats: Midlands–North-West (4 seats), South (5 seats), and Dublin (4 seats).
    You would have known that if you had followed the link I posted before to Midlands–North-West, but again you choose to ignore evidence and assert a falsehood. Your repeated assertions as fact of these blatant falsehoods about Ireland are disruptive. Please stop, and stick to some topic which you either know something about already, or are willing to actually learn about rather than asserting demonstrable falsehoods.
  7. the national coverage fails to distinguish her as more special than other candidates, because every candidate in a national election in Ireland always has "national" coverage by virtue of the way Irish media works on an almost entirely national scale.
    Absolutely not true:
    a) Local newspapers and local radio are significant players, and local radio produces its own content;
    Most candidates get little or no national coverage in the course of a campaign, as demonstrated by the links above.
  8. You write: the volume of coverage fails to single her out as markedly more special than other candidates, simply because she ran and lost in two national elections rather than just one, and thus would simply be expected to have roughly double the volume of campaign coverage compared to somebody who only ran once.
    Again, demonstrably false:
    a) McHugh ran in 3 elections, not two. (That tally of 3 is mentioned even in the brief nomination statement. Looks like Bearcat didn't read that either.)
    McHugh's coverage is not proportional to the number of elections. She got more than 8 times as much coverage as her party colleague Tate Donnelly. When compared with successful party colleague Marc Ó Cathasaigh, she has got 4.9 times as much coverage; when compared with ualine Tully (from another party), she got 2.7 times as much coverage.
    All that evidence is already on this page, set out clearly in bullet points, yet you persist in posting as if that evidence did not exist. Why? What's going on here? Are you unable to read it? Unwilling to read it? Unable to comprehend it? Or just ignoring it for some reason? Whatever the cause, your repeated denial of the evidence is highly disruptive — and if you believe your claim to have a good reputation, it should be highly embarrassing to you.
    There is no basis in policy for your claim that being highly prominent in multiple elections doesn't help establish notability; it's just another principle you made up to suit your purpose, and which you assert as if it was policy rather than your own personal notion. It's self-evidently nonsense, because if we applied that principle to a hypothetical person who stood as a candidate if every Dáil and European election throughout her life (say about 30 elections) your logic would still claim that she was non-notable even though she had orders of magnitude more coverage than most people who had won a seat.
  9. You write: And you still have yet to demonstrate your assertion that she has additional coverage outside of the context of election campaigns, because the only hit you've specifically labelled as such is still campaign-related.
    Again, Bearcat makes an assertion which is simply false as a a point of fact: see [27], which was 6 months before the general election date was announced. See also [28], post-election.
    It is possible that you assumed out of unfamiliarity with the topic that Ireland is like the USA, where an election campaign lasts for a whole year; but that is not the case in Ireland, where elections are conducted over a period of weeks. And if that was not your assumption, then your rejection of those links is just yet more counter-factual nonsense.
The fact remains that the evidence shows that McHugh was one of the most prominent candidates in both the 2019 Euro election and the 2020 Mayo Dáil election ... yet here we have an editor with very little knowledge of Ireland who is engaging in a sustained campaign of fabricating policy tests, spouting hyperbole, repeatedly misrepresenting another editor, denying evidence and spouting streams of very basic falsehoods about Irish politics and media, all with the aim of ensuring that Wikipedia deletes its already poor coverage of someone who is already way more notable than many serving legislators in Ireland. What on earth is going on here?
Your claim about your reputation is interesting, but does not reflect what I have see from your history, and from your bizarrely fact-averse and policy-inventing conduct on this page. You are welcome to put it to the test at ANI, but please stop disrupting this XFD with this nonsnese. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:12, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  1. The problem is not one of summary. The problem is that you repeatedly chose to either grossly misrepresent what I had clearly written, lading it with your own false assumptions; and that you systematically ignore whole bundles of evidence which don't suit your pre-deterined, policy-denying outcome. Er, yeah, no. I didn't misrepresent anything, or lay in any false assumptions, and I don't systematically ignore whole bundles of anything.
  2. Bearcat fundamentally misunderstands WP:NPOL. NPOL is not a requirement; it is an alternative path to notability for notability, and there is no policy basis for Bearcat's claim that unelected candidates for political office are not exempted from having to pass NPOL. I do not fundamentally misunderstand NPOL at all. As I already said above: every candidate in every election everywhere can always show enough campaign-based coverage to at least attempt a claim that they pass WP:GNG. So if that were how political notability worked, then every candidate would always be exempted from having to pass NPOL at all, and NPOL itself would never actually apply to anybody at all anymore. However, we have an established consensus that every candidate everywhere is not automatically notable enough for an article, but rather the key to making a candidate notable enough for an article is to establish that their candidacy somehow passes the ten-year test for enduring significance — and we have an established consensus that GNG is not just a question of counting a person's sources for their number, but also of testing for the context of what they're covering the person for, and deprecating some sources as not GNG-supporting if they exist in non-notable contexts.
    Which is why the examples of musicians and writers and high school athletes that I raised above were not a "distraction" — they are pertinent examples of the kind of people who can, and routinely do, try to claim that the existence of some coverage in non-notable contexts, like playing their first-ever show at their hometown pub or winning a local poetry contest or getting human interest coverage about their recovery from having a toe amputated, is enough to exempt them from actually having to pass the defined notability standards for their occupation just because "media coverage exists and therefore they pass GNG". We see that kind of thing all the time at AFD, but we have an established consensus that GNG is not just "count the footnotes and keep anybody who surpasses an arbitrary number", but still requires the context of what the person is getting covered for to at least have some relationship to our subject-specific inclusion criteria for their occupation. This is not some personal standard I'm making up outside of policy, either: it is an established consensus for how notability actually works when it's questioned at AFD.
    And incidentally, even officeholders who do pass NPOL are not actually exempted from having to pass GNG either: they do pass GNG, and we're just not always on the ball about writing and sourcing good articles that accurately reflect their passage of GNG. There is not a single NPOL-holding officeholder on earth who actually can't show GNG-passing sources: the fact that they can show GNG-passing sources, in fact, is precisely the reason why we deem them "inherently" notable at all. NPOL isn't a question of exempting politicians from passing GNG: it exists to try to stop editors from wasting AFD's time on articles that may look bad in their current state, but are repairable because better sources are already known to exist.
  3. I did not suggest bad faith; you chose to read that into my words, just as you also choose to read into my words many other things which are not there. This is another example of what I'm talking about when I say I'm not misrepresenting your words: just because you didn't use the words "bad faith" does not mean you did not accuse me of bad faith — because the substance of what you accused me of doing is bad faith actions. An accusation of misrepresenting policy is, by definition, an accusation of bad faith. An accusation of making up my own alternative inclusion standards outside of policy is, by definition, an accusation of bad faith. An accusation of imposing my own value judgements in defiance of policy is, by definition, an accusation of bad faith. Whether you used the words "bad faith" or not, you are inherently accusing me of doing things that are, by definition, bad faith things to do, and just because you didn't use those exact words doesn't mean you didn't do the thing those words mean.
  4. Again, Bearcat makes an assertion which is simply false as a a point of fact: see [29], which was 6 months before the general election date was announced. See also [30], post-election. I already addressed the first of those two hits; the fact that it is dated outside of an election campaign does not make it not campaign-related coverage, because the substance of what it is about is her personal opinions on the outcome of the upcoming election. Again, it comes down to the context of what she's getting covered for — and if it's still an election-related context, then it doesn't escape being campaign-related coverage just because the date on it happens to fall outside of the official election period. And as for that second source, it isn't about her at all — she is not its subject, but merely a provider of a 45-word soundbite within an article about the pandemic. A person's notability is not supported by sources in which they merely provide a short quote, but are not in any non-trivial way a central subject of the source. Again, that's not a personal standard that I made up myself — it's part of AFD's established consensus that sources in which the person is merely a giver of soundbite in an article about something other than themselves, but not substantively a subject of the source, do not help to get the person over GNG.
  5. This is utter fantasy. The Mayo Advertiser and The Connaught Telegraph are local; they do not have national reach. The fact that they they publish weekly rather than daily does not alter the fact that they are local. (Frequency ≠ Geography. They are separate concepts). You are neither telling me anything I didn't already know, nor contradicting anything I actually said — you are, in fact, doing exactly what you're accusing me of doing: arguing with a strawman in your head instead of with what I actually said. I didn't say Ireland doesn't have local newspapers: I said that the distinction between what gets covered at the local level and what gets covered at the national level doesn't cut in the same place as it does in North America or even the UK — in Ireland, the national elections get covered much more extensively in the national media, so that every candidate in the entire country can virtually always show more evidence of "nationalized" coverage than a similar candidate in Canada or the United States or England might have, simply because the national media is where a much bigger chunk of the election coverage is. That is not the same thing as failing to understand that local and national don't mean the same thing, or that geography and frequency mean different things either.
  6. Yet more fanatasy. The reality that is that there are actually 13 seats, none of them nationwide. There are currently three constituencies, each of which has multiple seats: Midlands–North-West (4 seats), South (5 seats), and Dublin (4 seats). You would have known that if you had followed the link I posted before to Midlands–North-West, but again you choose to ignore evidence and assert a falsehood. No, you are going to chalk this up to a dialect difference rather than an error on my part. In my dialect of English, the constituencies are the seats — in my dialect of English, three constituencies electing 13 representatives in a multi-member proportional system is three seats, not thirteen seats, because "seats" is the constituencies rather than the people per se. But regardless of whether we call them "seats" or "constituencies", the substance of my point doesn't actually change: with just three electoral divisions encompassing the entire country, the coverage of a European Parliament election is going to be even more highly nationalized than the coverage of a Dáil Éireann election. I wasn't wrong, we merely speak two slightly different dialects of English that use words in slightly different ways sometimes — and I'd recommend you keep that in mind in the future, because this is not actually the first time you've tried to hang me on an "error" that was entirely explainable as a mere difference of dialect.
  7. I'm not going to keep engaging you on the matter of my reputation, except to say that I know perfectly well that I'm not deluded about it. I am not known around here for having a problematic edit history, or for being "bizarrely fact-averse" or "policy-inventing", and the idea that I am is funny at best and teetering on the edge of an outright WP:NPA violation. But that's the last I'm going to say about that, and I'm not engaging on that any further. Bearcat (talk) 03:58, 12 April 2020 (UTC) ::::::So the FUD barage continues [reply]
  1. I didn't misrepresent anything, or lay in any false assumptions, and I don't systematically ignore whole bundles of anything.
    Yes, you did, and you still do.
    a) you misrepresented one item from a list of 16 as an attempt to claim that I was making a claim of notability on the basis of one article. A Bearcat fabrication.
    b) You ignored the evidence that she has vastly more coverage that an other candidates, successful or not.
    It's all there above, and if you want to go to ANI, your systematic misrepresentations will be clearly evident.
  2. I do not fundamentally misunderstand NPOL at all.
    This would be hilarious if the denialism wasn't so verbosely disruptive. WP:NPOL says explicitly:

    Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

    .
    So your repeated references to NPOL are a red herring, and all your verbiage about it is simply your own impressively-creative imaginings.
    the examples of musicians and writers and high school athletes that I raised above were not a "distraction".
    Yes they were, because they were all explicitly bout local coverage, whereas I had presented evidence of McHugh getting exceptional national coverage. Try reading what you actually wrote.
  3. An accusation of misrepresenting policy is, by definition, an accusation of bad faith.
    Don't be silly. Misinterpretation can be done in error or bad faith.
  4. I already addressed the first of those two hits; the fact that it is dated outside of an election campaign does not make it not campaign-related coverage, because the substance of what it is about is her personal opinions on the outcome of the upcoming election.

    Another a Bearcat reading comprehension failure. Looks at the two links I posted: [31] and [32]. They are both about formation of a coalition government, rather than about an election campaign. Since Bearcat doesn't seem to understand the difference, let me spell it out: government formation is a process which can happen only after election results are known. It therefore cannot be part of an election campaign.
  5. I didn't say Ireland doesn't have local newspapers: I said that the distinction between what gets covered at the local level and what gets covered at the national level doesn't cut in the same place as it does in North America or even the UK — in Ireland, the national elections get covered much more extensively in the national media, so that every candidate in the entire country can virtually always show more evidence of "nationalized" coverage than a similar candidate in Canada or the United States or England might have, simply because the national media is where a much bigger chunk of the election coverage is. That is not the same thing as failing to understand that local and national don't mean the same thing, or that geography and frequency mean different things either..
    The fact that Ireland is not North America is irrelevant, because the guideline makes no reference to North America. Bearcat appears to be assuming that North America sets some sort of baseline against which everything else must be measured, which is a thoroughly POV stance with no foundation in policy or guideline.
    The rest of this is just more of Bearcat's FUD smokescreen to distract from the evidence I posted that McHugh got massively more coverage than candidates who were actually elected.
    This diversion would serve a purpose if it was some sort of game to fill the page with verbose irrelevancies, and hope that the closer gives up in despair. If not, it's a sad illustration of a thoroughly POV attempt to filter the rest of the world through a North American lens.
  6. In my dialect of English, the constituencies are the seats.
    Not true. This is not a mater of dialect; it is a matter of different electoral systems. In your county, each constituency has one seat ... whereas in Ireland, each constituency has multiple seats.
    And you failed to distinguish between the electoral system of your own country and that of the country which you have chosen to discuss, thereby stating something which was untrue.
    Note that yet again, you express no regret at all about about your decision to make a false statement ... and instead try to blame me for the fact you wrote something false. Not good conduct.
    the substance of my point doesn't actually change: with just three electoral divisions encompassing the entire country, the coverage of a European Parliament election is going to be even more highly nationalized than the coverage of a Dáil Éireann election.
    This "substance" is another red herring based on a false assumption. The false assumption is your wholly unevidenced trans-Atlantic assertion that there is a difference in the balance of coverage; the reality is that there is is huge local coverage of the Euro elections, and i see no evidence of a centralisation effect. The red herring is that centralisation of coverage is irrelevant, because McHugh got an exceptional amount of coverage.
I'm not going to keep engaging you on the matter of my reputation.
Your conduct here speaks for itself.
I hope that will be an end to this nonsense. -BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
I agree with User:AugusteBlanqui that the nominator did not do a thorough WP:BEFORE. I hope that User:Jnestorius will withdraw this nomination — I had in fact scanned through articles like those BrownHairedGirl has listed; I was unimpressed and won't withdraw the nomination. McHugh is very far from being a household name in Ireland. I agree that she got a notch more election coverage than other candidates with a similar level of votes; she is media-savvy and has a column in thejournal.ie. Per WP:SYN, one article titled "Why is everyone talking about Saoirse McHugh" would be more convincing than 20 talking about Saoirse McHugh. Or maybe doi:10.1080/07907184.2019.1652165 has something substantial. jnestorius(talk) 01:00, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@jnestorius I have found precisely nothing in policy which either:
  1. allows this dismissal of evidence of sustained significant coverage to be discounted because of a Wikipedia editor's personal observation that a person is media-savvy
  2. Requires the existence of article asking Why is everyone talking about her.
Please can you quote the relevant full paragraphs of the policy or guideline which require or suggest this. And no, nme-checking WP:SYN is not valid; SYN is about a wholly different issue, and the relevant policy here is WP:GNG which explicitly requires weighing multiple sources.
And no, she did not a notch more election coverage than other candidates with a similar level of votes; that's a cleverly jesuitical use of words to misrepresent the facts. The evidence which I posted above shows very clearly that shew got many whole-digit multiples more coverage than candidates who got more votes and won a seat. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 02:26, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure we all agree that WP:GNG is the starting point. WP:GNG says "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail. That is vague, and the two extreme examples given at WP:GNG don't help much. I When the general guideline is vague, it is legitimate to have recourse to more specific guidelines, like WP:NPOL, that interpret the vague terms for a given context. Sticking to GNG, it seems to refer to quality rather than number. Of all the articles you have listed, there are only two I can see that "address the topic directly" ("Saoirse McHugh selling her Green vision to rural Ireland" and "Rider on the Storm"). Are they "in detail"? I would have though they were both too short for that, but maybe there is precedent you can point to. GNG also says "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. The point about being media-savvy is to explain why she got more of the routine election coverage. If one candidate gets 5 articles and another gets 50 articles that doesn't mean 5 are routine and the other 45 are not. They may all be routine. jnestorius(talk) 03:28, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@jnestorius: WP:NPOL does not interpret the vague terms for a given context. It provides an alternative path to notability, but offers no interpretive guidance on GNG. And WP:NPOL explicitly says:

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

So just leave NPOL out of it. It does not apply, and refers us back to GNG.
As to the notion of all that substantial coverage about her in serious national newspapers not being "in detail", what do you want? Multi-volume biographies? If GNG required some such of high threshold, it would say so.
And as to this whole "media-savvy" thing, it's a pure invention of yours for which you cite no sources. You are attempting to impose your own hostile value judgement on her media coverage without any evidence. Describing her as "media-savvy" is a polite way of saying "successful attention-seeker", which gives zero credit to the editorial processes of broadsheet journalists and editors whose justification is presumably not just clickbait, but that she has something significant to say. This isn't even WP:OR by you: it is simply prejudicial speculation.
If, as you claim one candidate gets 5 articles and another gets 50 articles that doesn't mean that 5 are routine and the other 45 are not. They may all be routine, esp when most candidates get 5 articles ... then the word "routine" loses all meaning.
Sorry, Jnestorius, but this is sophistry. And its all being done to ensure that an exceptionally high-profile political newcomer is denied an article, by using the most extreme application I have seen of GNG ... while tens of thousands of permastub articles are created on people who entirely bypass any scrutiny because they once played for a few minutes in a single professional ballgame. The evidence is unambiguous that McHugh gets far more coverage in reliable sources (and vastly more "significant coverage") than many of the people for whom NPOL is a bypass to GNG scrutiny.

  • comment Saoirse McHugh is discussed in a recent academic analysis, both in the context of the RTE debate and the inadequacies of public opinion polling:[1] "In contrast, the big winners were the Green Party, which topped the poll in Dublin, and seemed likely to get all three candidates elected, with McHugh getting 12% of first preferences in MNW and Grace O'Sullivan getting the same in Ireland South. Sinn Féin seemed likely to keep two of its seats, but Lynn Boylan seemed to be in a precarious position in Dublin. This poll, however, did prove to be controversial, especially once results came out, as it underestimated Fianna Fáil and overestimated Green (especially Saoirse McHugh) support." And: "These debates failed to have much of an impact on public engagement with the elections, aside from the performance of the Green Party's Saoirse McHugh in RTÉ's MNW debate on 21 May, in which she challenged Peter Casey's views on immigration. This exchange led to McHugh trending on Twitter and being labelled the ‘unexpected star’ of the debates, with the odds of her winning a seat falling as a result" The lead of the article was written during the European election, after the RTE debate.

    @Spleodrach, yes she fails NPOL. But WP:NPOL explicitly says:

    Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

    And per my evidence above, McHugh does meet the GNG, in spades. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:59, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
She fails GNG as well, she's a serial election loser, that's all. No need to reply further, as I won't read it, like I did not read the huge swathes of text above, because life's too short! Spleodrach (talk) 14:22, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Spleodrach, per NPOL, being a a serial election loser is no bar to passing GNG.
And "fails GNG 'cos I couldn't be bothered to even look at the mountain of evidence" (I paraphrase) is a v poor argument. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:59, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I read the excellent arguments put forward by Bearcat, and find myself in total agreement with them. Still a delete !vote from me. Spleodrach (talk) 20:54, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In between Bearcat's forest of hyperbole and tangents and misrepresentations, their main arguments are:
a) that WP:NPOL applies. That is absurd: it is explicitly refuted in NPOL:

Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the general notability guideline.

b) if she accomplishes something more notable ... which is a clear rejection of the WP:GNG, which says

Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity

Yes, the guideline continues:

although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained below

Not that wording "may enhance". It does not make such factors a barrier to a topic which has received huge amounts of substantial coverage.
b) that posting 16 instances of articles in reliable sources substantively about McHugh should be dismissed and derided as an attempt to claim that one lone mention in one of those sources is enough. Absurd: no such claim was made or implied.
c) that sustained coverage over the course of three elections and the periods inbetween and after them is WP:BLP1E coverage.
d) coverage outside of an election campaign period is "campaign coverage" even though it is explicitly not about the campaign or the election. Bizarre.
e) that Ireland has no local television., Which is true, but utterly irrelevant.
f) that in European Parliament elections where there are only three nationwide seats. Utter nonsense: there are 13 seats, and none is nationwide.
g) that all candidates get coverage during elections, so it should be discounted. This ignores the evidence that she got way more overage than other candidates, including some who were successful.
Strange that anyone would endorse all that. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:08, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to WP:BEBOLD and redirect it to Herkenrode Abbey which seems to be associated with this product (brews it?) but then I noticed this had a 'no consensus' AFD a while back, which did not end in redirect, so, pro forma, let's check if we can get consensus now to either redirect it or delete it (merge is not valid as there is no referenced content to merge). For the record, my BEFORE failed to find anything that's in-depth, but maybe there are some better sources in Dutch. (There is no interwikid Dutch article, sadly). As it is, this likely fails WP:GNG (tagged as GNG problem since 2009...). So, redirect, delete, keep? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:29, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism portmanteau: putting two items on a plate and combining their names does not make a notable dish. Also WP:SYNTH combining three entirely different food concepts that happen to include some of the same ingredients and independently applying the same portmanteau. Sources are blogs, a menu, and online recipes for the disparate dishes, none of which provide notability or establish that we need an article for the banal topic that people can eat pizza and spaghetti at the same meal, or get creative in the kitchen.

  • The Vice article indicates that the elements are sometimes served "side by side". Other sources make it clear that the recipe varies from place to place. For example

    Like many highly regionalized specialties, pizzaghetti can vary from one location to another. Found most commonly at diners, the dish is sometimes simply a small pizza and spaghetti on the same plate. At other eateries, the meat-sauce-added 'ghetti is baked under the pizza's layer of mozzarella.

    The essential point is that they all call it pizzaghetti and so that is the appropriate name for the broad concept. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:45, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge - the sources are really quite poor. Not seeing sufficient coverage to justify a stand-alone article at all. A fun portmanteau, but coverage seems to conflate simply serving pizza with spaghetti with various foods that combine the two. We have an awful lot of stand-alone food articles with terrible sourcing and very little that can be said about them that should really just be merged into a list. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 21:04, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Rhododendronites; no indication of independent notability. ——SN54129 04:51, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with List of pizza varieties by country#Canada. Pizza-ghetti, or pizzaghetti, fails WP:GNG as a standalone concept because the sourcing is simply not there. Changing vote to keep on the strength of the HuffPost[34] and Vice[35] articles. Agree with Andrew Davidson that this term, though slightly ambiguous, is a broad concept that is summarized rather well in the article.

It's no more notable than "Pancakes with sausage", or any other of the hundreds or perhaps thousands world-wide of commonly paired foodstuffs. I'm dubious that it's even eligible for either of the proposed merges, as it's neither a "pasta dish" nor a "pizza variety".

Fails WP:NASTRO: not naked-eye; not discovered before 1850; not in general-interest catalogues; doesn't have multiple published journal papers (as a planet, see later). The catalogues given here as references appear to include this object on the basis of its borderline gas-giant mass, although I can't find peer-reviewed papers describing it as such. The discovery paper referenced here describes FU Tauri (article just created) as a binary brown dwarf, and it may be notable on that basis. Lithopsian (talk) 20:01, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, obviously, as I am the page author, I might have a certain level of bias, however I believe that FU Tauri b is indeed notable on the basis you described and is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Golem08 (talk) 14:34, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd favor deleting this article and merging the information about FU Tau b into a section of the article on Fu Tau. In cases where there's very low or questionable notability about a planet, rather than giving each exoplanet its own article, it would make more sense to include the information on planets as part of the article about the star.

Keep/Merge If the article is to be deleted, it would make sense to merge the information into the star and leave a redirect. (Would still prefer to keep.) Golem08 (talk) 10:09, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge Although I do think that the exoplanet (or brown dwarf) does meet GNG, for instance see [36] and [37], it should still be merged to the main article because all references are with respect to the binary system. Note that previous source searches might have had a hard time because the star/planet is typically referred to as "FU Tau b" not "FU Tauri b." Sam-2727 (talk) 14:19, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO and WP:CREATIVE. Teenage YouTuber, sourced almost entirely to his own social media and to ASCAP, which only proves that the songs he sings were written by someone else. The two The Tour albums are recreations by Rios and his friends of the songs from an eight-year-old Spanish TV series, and released on Rios's own label, and not officially connected to the original Disney series at all. He isn't mentioned by name on the compilation album that he appeared on. The web series that he created are follow-up stories that he has written to Code Lyoko: Evolution and consist of footage from the original French web series, presumably used illegally, with Rios and his friends dubbing their voices over the top.

The artist has worked with Disney for two albums where he released unreleased songs from the company, if the artist had not worked with the company he would not have the original English lyrics of the songs. In addition, it can be seen from the song records at ASCAP and BMI that he is one of the official performers of the songs in the series since he was added by Disney to the record. As it says in Wikipedia one of the requirements to be part of Wikipedia is to have worked with a big record company like Walt Disney Records and Disney would not have sent the lyrics to anyone and would not have added him as an artist in the record of the songs. After showing this (which are verifiable data) I think I have demonstrated that the information that appears in Wikipedia is true, so I added the artist, because I based on information that comes from official websites about the songs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SoyOdd (talk • contribs) 19:48, 30 March 2020 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: SoyOdd (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]

Even if the albums are officially licensed by Disney, there are still no sources at all discussing them, so they fail WP:NALBUM. Being released through a major label does not automatically make the albums notable if nobody is talking about them. And they don't need a separate article for each language version – The Tour (soundtrack) would be sufficient. But as there is no reliable content apart from the track listing, which is already in the La Gira article, a redirect is the best option for that article.

Fails WP:NALBUM. Superficially, this article appears to be related to La Gira (TV series), but in reality it isn't. This is a recreation of the songs from the soundtrack of that series by three YouTubers, and is not officially linked to Walt Disney or the TV series at all – the genuine soundtrack for the series came out eight years ago [38]. There are no reliable sources at all for this album, just links to streaming sites and the social media of Juanma Rios, who created this project. The album will apparently be released on Cle Records – the Twitter account for Cle Records links back to Rios' YouTube video channel, which appears to confirm that this is a self-released project that has gained no recognition outside of his YouTubers social circle. I wouldn't recommend a redirect to the La Gira article for this reason – there is no official connection with the series, there is no other official soundtrack apart from the Spanish version anyway, and I've already redirected The Tour (soundtrack) by the same editor (very likely Rios himself, judging by the editor's name) to there, which is a more likely search term.

Comment But even after 2017, this presumption has been repeatedly used at AfD. I don't see anyone treating other Pakistani secondary schools like this, stating from the beginning that the school is a "non-notable organization" and not providing evidence that it is less notable than other Pakistani schools. It seems less run-of-the-mill than most simply because it is a special-education school. Also, to do the question of whether it meets GNG justice you really need someone who is competent in the native language to evaluate sources.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 22:20, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at the refs in the article and searching online I conclude that this actor/entertainment industry personnel does not meet the criteria Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Entertainers as she had a lead role in only 1 movie that did not do well. Nothing exceptional so far and the coverage so far is on expected lines for a budding actor. Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline is also not met as the coverage is either for her Dance club or for upcoming moves. The 2 best ones that I could find are [39] and [40].

Article has no indication of notability other than being a 'soldier in the Revolutionary War', and fails WP:SOLDIER and WP:GNG. Only one inline citation from time of creation 12 years ago. Reference list includes only passing references, non-reliable or primary sources (such as muster roll). A GB search returns several books that only say of him "Colonel Alexander Oliver, wife, and eleven children, from the west part of Massachusetts," or something similar. The largest account found simply says, "Colonel Alexander Oliver, of Massachusetts, and a valiant soldier during the Revolutionary war came to Belpre in 1789 and settled on lot No. 19, just below what is now known as Cedarville. There were eleven children, all of whom settled in Ohio." This is far short of the substantial coverage required for notability. The only thing that goes beyond this is a Marietta College source quoting a resolution rebuking him for not paying the money to then he had committed to, which again does little for notability. The majority of the content is not found in any of the cited sources, nor any others readily available, and appears to be drawn from someone's personal genealogy notes. Recently an IP questioned whether some details haven't been attributed to the wrong Alexander Oliver, but so little has been published on him that it would require WP:OR to assess this.

  • Comment -- I see little in this article to qualify him as notable. My recollection was that colonels are not notable per se. Participation in the Ohio river expedition might be if he had a leadership role, but what we have here on that is a mere stub. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:04, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SOLDIER says generals and equivalent. I didn't find a single secondary source that even named him in connection with the expedition (and I am not even sure the 'expedition' itself is notable, as opposed to just a few guys out canoeing that got mentioned in one of their personal journals that was later published, and is being dressed up as an important exploration - I just don't know). The only WP:RS secondary sources I found either 1) made some bland statement that he and his wife came to Ohio from Western Mass and had children, or else 2) stated that the subject of the sentence married one of his Oliver's daughters without saying anything more about the father-in-law.

  • Delete: per Nom and User:Peterkingiron that subject lacks notability (evidenced by reliable sources) for a stand alone article. The article has unsourced content of the subject possibly being a "Founding Father" of Belpre, Ohio but I couldn't corroborate this. I am all for historic articles as long as they have sourcing. A journal and muster role does not reach that criteria. There is a list of sources in the "Citations" section and if someone can access any of these to give verifiable evidence of notability I would appreciate it.

1) Lineage Book - not seen. Volume and year don't match (vol 41 was in 1915 and does not have claimed info; 1928 was vols 98-104 and not finding these online due to copyright), but this is not WP:RS - simply reprinted member-submitted lineage and brief ancestor biography, at the time usually based on nothing more than personal assertion. DAR database summarizes the information contained as "Alexander Oliver born on 30 - Nov - 1744 at Worcester Co MA died at OH on 2 - Sep - 1828 and his ( 1st ) wife Mary Warner born on - ____ - 1750 at _____ died at _______________ on - ____ - 1808 married on 2 - May - 1769" 2) Sherman - (flawed ref, missing vol [#3]) a statement that Calvin Shepard married Mahala Oliver, "daughter of (Col.) Alexander and Mary (Warner) Oliver." 3) Cleave's Biographical Cyclopaedia - "his grandfather Col. Alexander Oliver served in that war [Am. Revol.] at the head of a volunteer regiment." that's it. 4) Records of the Revolutionary War - list of "officers entitled to half-pay", includes "Oliver, Alexander, Lieut. [Mass.]". 5) An Historical Address - list of Original Members of the Society of Cincinnatus, includes name "Oliver, Alexander, Ensign". 6) History of Belpre - list of Revolutionary War soldiers in the county, includes, "Col. Alexander Oliver of Mass." Elsewhere in the book it names "Col. Alexander Oliver, wife, and eleven children" (then names the children). That is the whole list and note that these may not even refer to the same man - there were three Rev War Alexander Olivers. Agricolae (talk) 19:59, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously all the social media references in the article need to go, but the subject himself passes the notability standards, in my opinion. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:18, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:ACTOR, Actors has had significant roles in multiple notable films is the criterion to have a standalone article. Even though the subject, Rahul Kohli, was part of a 71 episodes series, he had no further significant roles in other series or films; he, therefore, fails WP:ACTOR. And I reviewed all the sources that you provided above; none of them give significant coverage to Rahul Kohli directly and in detail; so he fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. thus delete.- Akhiljaxxn (talk) 14:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Akhiljaxxn, as for WP:NACTOR, this is going to depend on your definition of "significant roles". I believe his roles in the productions I listed above are significant. As for WP:GNG, this will depend on your definition of "significant coverage" which is "directly and in detail" about the subject. The Rolling Stones article is solely about the subject, so I would say that, at the very least, it is "directly" about him. The two Deadline articles discuss a couple of different actors, but there is no requirement that a source be solely about the subject. There are, however, more articles that I can cite if the cumulative effect of those above is not sufficient to meet sourcing requirements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dflaw4 (talk • contribs) 00:28, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete When I saw the subject in question, I was surprised to see the lack of any in-depth coverage of him, knowing his role in iZombie. Seeing the sources Dflaw4 posted, 1st one is a WP:ROUTINE cast reporting, 2nd source is mediocre at best leaning to poor, mostly relying on what the subject said and WP:TRIVIA, 3rd one also a WP:ROUTINE cast report. My searches lead only to other cast announcements or websites citing what he said about being sexually abused like [41]. WP:NACTOR wise, he has a main role in iZombie, supporting role in Happy Anniversary (2018 film) and bunch of small roles in web series, non-notable movies, Harley Quinn (TV series) and video games. Unltimately, it's a WP:GNG failure with a very weak WP:NACTOR case, hence delete for me. AaqibAnjum's suggestion of draftifying is a nice idea, since he has two Netflix roles to come in Midnight Mass and The Haunting of the Bly Manor, which may push some coverage out or help out the NACTOR.

Unfortunately, WP:BEFORE searches with both her current and previous names do not turn up independent RS with SIGCOV. Current sourcing does not statisfy GNG.

  • Weak Keep: I have found another Boston Globe article: https://www.newspapers.com/image/444119274/?terms=lisa%2Bvan%2Boosterum. The issue is more with WP:NACTOR, in my opinion, and it is going to turn on the subject's theatre work, since her film and television credits are not enough to meet the notability standards.

  • Delete: per Nom, that didn't change after viewing the extra source. Dflaw4, please note (as far as I understand it) that when adding a source that is "accessed" it needs to actually be accessible to that editor for verifiability. Otr500 (talk) 01:08, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

    • Dflaw4, While I would like all sources to be "accessible to all", that is not always practical and not required. In this case, "you", must be able to access the source. when presenting it. Otherwise, it could be considered refbombing (that does happen) but assuming good faith is more than a token statement. A source does not have to be only found online. Mistakes that are made in good faith are just that, mistakes. Sometimes a source may be contested and sometimes not, until showing up at AFD. If an editor finds a reliable source that provides significant coverage of the subject (of the article or content) it is acceptable online, in books, newspapers, or other acceptable media even if behind a WP:PAYWALL and cost to access. Do not reject reliable sources just because they are difficult or costly to access. I would like to point out that a source can be acceptable for content, without advancing notability, and does not have to be solely about the subject as long as coverage is significant. The article presents (just giving an example) a [clipping] from newspaper.com as a source. A full page view is also acceptable via Newspapers.com. A problem to me is that the source is more about Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Gene Dante than the subject of this article. Boucher is listed as "co-star" and the source actually states, "Lisa Boucher has little to do most of the time except stand stage left and scowl". There is not a lot of significant coverage here for the subject as far as advancing notability. Anyway, keep up the good work and don't be discouraged. We need all the editors we can get to keep Wikipedia going strong. Otr500 (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am certainly not as familiar with the Wikipedia procedures as some, as I have only been participating since late last year, Otr500. In this case, my "Weak Keep" voted relies heavily on the notability of the stage productions the subject has been in. I'm really not sure how notable they are, so I'm erring on the side of caution.

  • Keep. I fail to see how an editor looking at map can determine "it's clear that this was never a town" or community. How do you suppose the populated place name "Monument Park" was created, just someone's typo when they meant to record "Mountain Lake Resort"????? Given the beautiful park-like setting there, it seems far more plausible that the community there, on the side of "Monument Lake" was named "Monument Park".
And FWIW, from uncovercolorado.com page, "Monument Park is a little blink-and-you’ll-miss-it community located along the Highway of Legends in southern Colorado. It’s situated at the eastern base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, providing the region with endless outdoors. / The town is located in Las Animas County about 38 miles west of Trinidad on Highway 12. / Main Attractions: / Monument Lake – The gem of Monument Park is its namesake Monument Lake. The Monument Lake Resort manages the overnight accommodations and amenities at this lake. It’s open from mid May to mid September. There’s even dining on-site at the Lake View Restaurant, open daily during the season for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
I expect that here, as with other populated places in Colorado which were nominated to AFD in a big campaign, that off-line sources exist about the community back in mining/settlement era, etc. I trust the webpage creator about it being a community more than I trust the speculation in the AFD nomination.
See also similar Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Puritan, Colorado and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Auburn, Colorado.

  • Delete The current or former status as a "community" or "town" is debatable; it currently appears to be a campground/RV park with a restaurant, and I couldn't find coverage for anything more significant that may have existed there in the past.

@Atlantic306: The Guardian Nigeria and The Independent sources are not independent of the subject. Primary sources cannot be used to establish notability.

@Versace1608: I looked at the two sources, and I don't see evidence for this claim.

@Jlevi: Both sources are not independent of the subject; they cannot count towards establishing the subject's notability because they are not secondary sources. The entire The Guardian article quotes the subject substantially. How is this independent of him? The entire The Independent article centers around a Q and A session btw the newspaper staff and the subject.

@Amosflash: The two sources you provided are not in-depth. There are very similar. The text from both sources are posted below:

A Nigerian Gospel disk jockey and talent manager popularly known as Dj Ernesty has dropped a new gospel mixtape consisting of 20 powerful songs. DJ Ernesty who hails from Ekpoma, Edo state in Nigeria is an alumni of Federal University of Technology, Minna where he bagged a degree in estate management and valuation. He said the idea was borne out of love and passion for godliness, adding that with the mixtape, Christians can now dance to lyrically sanitized songs at party. DJ Ernesty whose birth name is Ernest Esekhile is an outstanding disk jockey at Ace Gospel Music. He is also a radio DJ who runs a show titled KEEPINITGOSPEL which has marked its presence across the nation. The sensational disk jockey artist who is also a music producer and promoter has produced several songs for different artists across different genres of music.

How exactly are these two text in-depth? From these two sources, all we learn is that the subject is a Gospel musician, record producer and promoter from Enugu State who runs a radio show. None of this is satisfies WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Which criterion of WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO does the subject meet?

@Versace1608: this three sources here, here and here are secondary sources and Wikipedia is based on secondary sources.Creativecreatr (talk) 17:48, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Versace1608: Firstly, you asked how are the two texts significant coverage? If you read this WP:CORPDEPTH carefully, you will find where it states that:

Quantity does not determine significance. It is the quality of the content that governs.

If you keep reading you will see where it says that:

Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company (unless the article or biography devotes significant attention to the company itself).

A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. If the biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article that means those two texts are significant coverage because they both contain a detailed description of Dj Ernesty's life such as his nationality, birthname, birthplace, occupation, and school. And since the two sources are reliable therefore it passes WP:GNG which is the answer to your second question. From the above explanation and other references in his Wikipedia page, I believe you can now see that he passes the number 1 criteria for WP:MUSICBIO. Therefore Keep.(Amosflash (talk) 17:51, 13 April 2020 (UTC))[reply]
@Amosflash: You already voted keep once and cannot do it again. You need to strike out one of your keep votes. Nice attempt at trying to use a logical argument to get your point across. However, it falls flat on its face because those two sources are not we considered in-depth significant coverage in the context of notability. DJ Ernesty fails all criterion of WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 18:01, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Versace1608: What is in-depth significant coverage and why are those two sources plus this one not in-depth significant coverage? You need to validate your statement.Creativecreatr (talk) 18:54, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Creativecreatr: None of the sources you cited in this AFD thread can be considered in-depth. This and this are nearly identical press releases about the subject's mixtape. None of DJ Ernesty's music has been discussed in reliable sources, including the mixtape. Q & A interviews published by Nigerian newspapers or press releases about his music do not count towards notability. The NotJustOk source you cited here is an announcement about the subject becoming an ambassador for The 700 Club. People are not notable simply because they are affiliated with a notable brand; FYI, notability cannot be inherited.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 20:59, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. The sources cited are poor. Interview, and few paragraphs in newspapers that are not known for international reliability, and that coverage reads like rewrites of press releases. On the other hand, there is WP:SYSTEMICBIAS. Should we accept low quality sources since for that part of the world they may actually be good quality? Overall, I think the answer is not, our criteria have to hold things to the same standard, whether it's UK or Nigheria. I don't see how the subject meets NMUSIC, and as for NBIO, I think the coverage is on the wrong end of borderline. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:00, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete - We have coverage by different news outlets, yes, but nothing appears to give the sort of in depth information that we need. As well, it seems as if none of them really are the kind of reliable sources that we need either. I'm not too sure. Yet I lean over to saying that deletion is the right call.

  • Delete a non-notable oncologist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:55, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Amendola might meet WP:ACADEMIC based on citations of her work. She's a coauthor on 3 papers with over 100 citations and 11 with over 50 according to Google Scholar. According to this primary source [42], she received a gold medal from the Circulo de Radioterapeutas Ibero Latino Americano (CRILA) and was made an honorary member of the Spanish Society of Radiation Oncology (SEOR) due to her contributions to the specialty of Radiation Oncology in Spain. Thank you for trimming out the WP:PROMO. If kept, the article should be focused on her research. TJMSmith (talk) 23:02, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is always the shakiest notability metric for profs/researchers. It's a mixed bag on those papers in terms of her being first author. Her h-index is 23 on Scopus., which is about normal for an established researcher. It's solid, but not really establishing notability to the point that they should be included in an encyclopedia.
If there are secondary sources that really outline the her notability specifically, that would do the trick, but I'm not seeing that in the article right now either. Kingofaces43 (talk) 03:23, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. unambiguously meets WP:PROF accoring to the impact of her work as judgedby citations-- 3 papers with over 100 citations each; the level expected for notability according to WP:PROF in biomedical scence is at least one and preferable 2 papers with >100 itations each; she has 3. So far from being the "shakiest notability metric for professors", the publication of influential work as judged bhy citations is the basic and most often used and most important measure; the other parts of WP:PROF are either just shortcuts for it (such as national level prizes, which inevitably are based on such papers) ), or special cases (such as influential textbooks). This was still being disputed when I came here 13 years ago, but it's been the universal a standard in the field at WP ever since then. There is no need whatever for secondary sources in the usual sense to meet WP:PROF--or, more exactly , the secondary sources are the journals that cite the published work. DGG ( talk ) 16:13, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
but I should add that what is unreliable is the h index, because that only discriminates poor work from mediocre work--it's the excellent work shown by papers that have high citations that gives influence and therefore meets notability. Nobody becomes influential in science by publishing 23 papers which are cited 23 times each. This is very different from publishing 3 with 100 citations and 20 papers with fewer, which also yields a h of 23, and therefore does show influential work. DGG ( talk ) 16:48, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per DGG. Let me just add that her field is not particularly popular, and having received as many citations as she has she clearly is influential. On top of that, there is coverage discussing this, particularly in Florida and also relating to her Institute. Also, she appears to have been at least Radiation Therapy Departmental Chair at the University of Michigan, so that's yet another notability claim. Yes, remove the spam, but arguing she doesn't satisfy WP:ACADEMIC is silly. One cannot judge physicians purely on the GNG. PK650 (talk) 23:03, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of passing of passing GNG/NBIO. Few passing mentions on the web as well in news or books, no substantial in-depth coverage (at best I see him discussed in a single sentence, never in a dedicated paragraph outside of a single source here [43] which nonetheless I don't think is sufficiently in-depth to warrant keeping this, nor does it appear very reliable - no author, mentions an article - Renee Domogauer's “Ethnic Community Radio; The Voice of Home in America.” - that doesn't seem to exist anywhere). His bio was just deleted from pl wiki as neither my BEFORE nor anyone else's where able to find sources (including in Polish) to suggest he passes NBIO or such (pl:Wikipedia:Poczekalnia/biografie/2020:03:12:Walter_Kotaba). Bottom line is that he seems like a reasonably successful Polish-American businessman, owner of few business stations and likely active in the Polish-American community, but no-one has dedicated any reliable, in-depth coverage to discussing his life or achievements sufficiently to make him encyclopedic in light of NBIO.

  • Keep The article already mentioned this site: Article on Walter Kotaba's radio business. The Banner talk 11:32, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • As explained, this coverage is low quality: hardly in-depth and of problematic reliability. It does not appear to be peer reviewed, it's more like a press release, likely a thank you for his donation. In fact a closer review raises more questions: what is the "National Museum of Language"? It seems like a small private museum (no evidence of state or any institutional support) run by "College Park, MD" ([44]), or rather, a wannabe museum, as "We do not have an exhibit hall open at this time. We are actively seeking an affordable location". Even if we were to accept it (and I think it's rather clear it does not meet WP:RS), GNG requires multiple in-depth, reliable sources. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:08, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • WP:GNG does not ask for multiple in-depth reliable sources. It doesn ask for: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. That is something different than what you claim that it asks. The Banner talk 10:02, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - I’m not sure about this one, he seems to have few hits such as these [45] - he is shown in details.

    • Right, but we need in-depth coverage, not just mentions in passing. Or stuff like awards and so on. He exists, is mentioned in a passing source or few, but as I said, I think he falls on the wrong side of notability due to the lack of any in-depth coverage outside of the few paragraphs on one page we have found so far.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per available sources and WP:GNG. Two other observations: [1] The article has been prodded. That's only for obvious delete cases. I see fine people on both sides of the issue here. [2] Everyone here who dares to disagree with the nominator (both keeps and merges) is being bludgeoned. That's a bad habit. Instead, try making a stronger case in the nomination or being more selective in AfDs (there are other ways to contribute to WP!) and give space to the Wikipedians who bother to look into an AfD. gidonb (talk) 23:35, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We need to scrutinise the sources presented to AfD rather than just dragging up anything that briefly mentions the subject in passing. The sources that have been presented are not significant, do not demonstrate notability to me, are not reliable, and therefore there is nothing to base an article on.
