Although some reliable sources are provided, I believe this subject is only famous for WP:ONEEVENT. The sources all focus on his death and it is doubtful whether he would have been notable before. In fact, a recent AfD resolved to delete the article of the somewhat prominent Brian Hull who has more than 2 Million subscribers. This subject had 300,000. Since Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS, this article should be deleted. Modussiccandi (talk) 23:02, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Corey La barrie was an amazing human being and his collab channel with his best friend Crawford Collins [1]had 178000 subscribers as well as his own [2]392000 and is currently growing. His mother Lissa and his friends have worked hard, spending months making this Wikipedia page for him[3] and taking it down is wrong and cruel. The comparison mentioned, Brian Hull, isn't verified either on any platform, whereas La Barrie is on youtube, Instagram, and tiktok. Corey was friends with many famous people publicly, and any KianandJc, Alex Wassabi, Tana Mongeau or Why Don't We fan would tell you they knew who Corey was. Brian Hull, however, is a voice impressionist and most of his fanbase are people who just enjoy his talent.
    • While I appreciate your effort to add an article to Wikipedia, we do have guidelines which determine whether a subject should be included. I believe Corey James La Barrie may not meet these guidelines. The fact that he had fans doesn't really matter as much here. Neither does the fact that he collaborated with well-known people since notability is generally WP:NOTINHERITED. My issue with the article is that all of the better sources you provided are motivated by his death. As I said in my above comment, Wikipedia is not a newspaper and people whose notability is confined to one single event aren't always suitable for inclusion. About the Brian Hull comparison: I brought it up not to say that Hull is subject to the same guideline. The reason I mentioned him is to show that Corey James La Barrie would not have been notable by our standards without the coverage of his death. This, I think, is a good sign of someone notable for just one event. Note that, when I say notable, I mean it in a sense restricted to Wikipedia and not to slight Corey's memory.

  • Keep Hull losses are notable, this was a particularly bad one, fortunately everyone survived, but it definitely got lasting coverage. [1] SportingFlyer T·C 22:24, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Lasting coverage on a large airliner hull loss of a Boeing 727. Easily meets WP:GNG. - Ahunt (talk) 22:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: Notification of the existence of this AfD has been made at WikiProject Aviation and WikiProject Aircraft, within whose scope this article falls. - Ahunt (talk) 22:31, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except it doesn't fail persistence. The incident was covered by Florida papers for over a year after it happened, including on the front page of the Tampa newspaper [2] over a year after it occurred and in Tallahassee [3] almost two years after the crash. This was a significant crash. SportingFlyer T·C 00:19, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The second time was when the NTSB released their report. I'm not really convinced of persistence after reading the article as the content came from the report. – The Grid (talk) 00:49, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds like expected news cycle - the accident, beginning of inquiry, publication of inquiry findings. I would expect the same for any aircraft crash. GraemeLeggett (talk) 08:32, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The fact the AfD is breaking this way is exceptionally surprising to me. We have a hull loss of a major jetliner which was covered by the local paper for two years and was covered on the front pages of other newspapers for over a year and has been the subject of at least one additional non-newspaper article per this (if that isn't scholarly itself), The Puzzle of the Crash of Fedex Flight 1478: Implications for Colour Vision Standards in Aviation. This is far from a routine accident, which is "aircraft slides off runway" and then you never hear about it again. Unlike the various "airplane slides off runway" articles we frequently discuss, WP:NOT crystal clearly doesn't apply here, to me at least. SportingFlyer T·C 10:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The issue: does the article stand on its own? It's mandatory that the NTSB reviews and reports incidents like this. Did anything change within standard flight procedures as a result from this accident? You link a study which also uses the NTSB report as its citation on page 36 as footnote 106. The Puzzle of the Crash of Fedex Flight 1478: Implications for Colour Vision Standards in Aviation is footnote 107 in this report. Can that be verified? How is that referenced report used in relation here? Educate us on what makes this unique. This would be similar to a BRD discussion on its talk page. – The Grid (talk) 22:06, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
When did "uniqueness" become a requirement for keeping an article on an airplane crash? This passes WP:PERSISTENCE (which is for small events which only get one cycle of news coverage) and WP:GNG with flying colours. The article on colourblindness is here, by the way. SportingFlyer T·C 23:41, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm asking because I see WP:PERSISTENCE as a poor argument. The accident happened. The NTSB report was done. The newspapers reported about the crash and the release of its report. I find it interesting that a proposal for guidelines at WP:AIRCRASH came to the same questions about aircraft articles. It's obviously just an essay but you can't tell me previous AfD for similar accidents didn't discuss similar questions that I'm asking. – The Grid (talk) 23:52, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I assume you're talking about the 2014 discussion on the WP:AIRCRASH talk page. In that conversation, Ahunt (who has !voted keep and was a WP:NOTNEWSPAPER advocate) noted a sliding scale between article notability between a newspaper writing about a Cessna sliding off a runway (which would be clearly deleted) and TWA Flight 800 (which would be clearly kept.) The key concept of notability actually goes a step above WP:GNG (which is just the test) - it's "worthy of notice." I don't think an aviation accident has to kill someone or change the way we fly in order to be notable as you seem to be proposing - ignoring the NTSB report, major newspapers wrote feature stories on the crash months/years after the crash happened, not to mention the hull loss. In my book, that's "worthy of note." The fact those articles may have been based on the NTSB report is irrelevant, as the release of the NTSB report itself was something worth reporting on. This may not be TWA 800 notable, but it's clearly over the bar. SportingFlyer T·C 00:09, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, sorry for being a pain. You can collapse this discussion if it warrants going off the scope of AfD. – The Grid (talk) 13:59, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - We have a hull loss of a large airliner. One of the contributing causes was highly unusual. GNG easily met here. Notability is not temporary. Mjroots (talk) 18:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Hull losses of airliners on scheduled services have an established consensus as being notable. And as mentioned, WP:NOTTEMPORARY. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:23, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, hull loss of large airliner. Vici Vidi (talk) 10:06, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, or question, really. Could someone please point out where consensus was established that aircraft accidents are notable enough for a standalone article? My understanding of WP:AIRCRASH is that that criteria warrants inclusion on a "List of" article. I've participated in several AfD discussions about air crashes, and this is the first I'm hearing of it. Granted, I don't know if any of those accidents included the loss of a hull, but none of those discussions brought up this consensus. If someone could please point it out, I'll gladly withdraw the nom.Onel5969 TT me 14:50, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:AIRCRASH is a guide as to when an accident should be included in a list, and there are plenty of places for accidents to be included in lists: by airport, by aircraft type, et cetera. We have heaps of standalone articles on aircraft accidents which pass WP:GNG and event/news notability guidelines. Using the "sliding scale" criteria I've outlined above, I'd say WP:AIRCRASH is more for when an accident may be notable enough for a list even if it's not notable enough for its own article, though many accidents which pass WP:AIRCRASH will be anyways. SportingFlyer T·C 15:08, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    SportingFlyer, that doesn't really answer my question as to where the consensus criteria exists. Onel5969 TT me 16:34, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Onel5969: I'm really not sure what you're asking about then, sorry. Aviation crash articles could be deleted for failing WP:GNG or either the event or newsworthiness criteria of WP:NOT and would be determined on a case-by-case basis, though accidents with deaths or with a hull loss generally get past wherever the line is. Most crashes which make it to AfD are routine and recent. I'm not sure there's specific consensus for or against that written anywhere, and there's no SNG I know of. Part of the reason I'm confused is that the way in which you've asked the question implies that aviation crashes should only be included in lists, but we've had articles on notable crashes for almost 20 years here. SportingFlyer T·C 17:07, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments: I see the above line of questioning (both) to be totally relevant and important. I am very appreciative to see questioning that is more productive that just a !vote because there was a "hull loss". It seems to me the "sliding scale" is more of a natural phenomenon from a routine "occurrence", to one with loss of lives, and including a hull loss or the added third criteria. The coverage will certainly increase with the severity of an occurrence. "Just" a hull loss might not garner a stand alone article. For an example: A hurricane hits an airport and destroys 5 planes. This would not be note-worthy for standalone status of the aircraft. Annex 13 gives the definition of "...from the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until all such persons have disembarked", or as mentioned above "on scheduled services", and this is echoed at WP:AIRCRASH. It might be interesting to note that the above mentioned 2015 "non-newspaper article" was preceded by a 2005 article concerning CVD and neither resulted in any aviation rule changes that I am aware of. Onel5969 the reason you don't hear of WP:AIRCRASH at AFD is because: #1, it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles and #2, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting.

  • delete It is indeed a siding with a turning wye, presumably at one end or the other of a helper district. Just no notability here. Mangoe (talk) 23:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. According to Nevada Post Offices (Gamett & Paher), Spruce had a post office. However, I believe that the Spruce post office was originally named Sprucemont, which is located elsewhere, near Mizpah (see below). Not mentioned in Nevada Origin of Names. Not to be confused with Spruce Mountain Mining District, which is found on p. 222 of "Nevada Place Names," Carson, 1974, but not available in the GBooks version. Newspapers.com has 4 trivial mentions of "Spruce siding", here's one. This newspaper article states that Spruce siding was six miles from Mizpah. However Google Maps shows the distance as being at least 34.8 miles between Spruce and Mizpah. Spruce does appear on a railroad map, but that does not mean it is notable. So, it seems that Spruce was a station, so WP:STATION applies. I'm fairly certain that there was no post office at this location and have found no other legal recognition, so Spruce does not meet #2 of WP:GEOLAND. This station has only trivial coverage, so it does not meet #2 of WP:GEOLAND. Cxbrx (talk) 01:54, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @User:Less Unless Comment, Did you actually do your research? I found a reliable source from the New york times in less than a minute and I added to the page. This actor also does't fail guideline one of WP:NACTOR, "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Bolden has have roles in over 20 movies and Televison shows combined and is still active, He without a doubt passes GNG. This article does need more citations though. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 18:34, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:SomeBodyAnyBody05 Of course I did. I have looked through 7 Google pages and all I see is user generated sources with no actual coverage - just mentions of him playing several roles or wiki mirrors. Can you please provide the NYT link you found? As for the WP:NACTOR] - "multiple notable films" - again - multiple and notable. To me personally his filmography is far from that. If you happen to find significant coverage on him, please do add it to the article. Best,Less Unless (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Less Unless, Here's the source fro the new york times talking about his role in the 2008 film Fly me to the Moon where the 3d genre was being reviltalized in the early to late 2000's source. I'm sure I can find more as User:Dflaw4 found an reliable source as well on a upcoming role. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 13:56, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it doesn't discuss any of that. It's a puff piece that makes exactly two mentions of the artist as a cast member. There isn't anything in that source that comes close to meeting WP:NACTOR. Thera re no sources for the fimlography or awards section, IMBd is not considered a reliable source so it's use as an external link is inconsequential here, and literally everything save but for the mention of fly me to the moon has no source. Literally every linked media project in his filmography section also fails to list the actor as a main character in the template save but for Are We Done Yet, and that's not cited in this article as it were so the potentially strongest claim for keep is noticeably absent. To me, the essay Wikipedia:Who is a low-profile individual comes into play here, as the subject has been covered but frankly not that well - at least not if our existing article is to be believed. TomStar81 (Talk) 20:20, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@User:TomStar81, So you still think that's a excuse for your harsh and narrow take of failing WP:NACTOR? This actor has over 20 credits in the field of Film and television being one of the main characters in Are We There Yet and he is still active to date. Debunking one source is not enough to delete an entire well enough notable actor's page. And the article still mention the subject enough to pass under WP:GNG.This actor has a way more debatable argument than Aleisha Allen. And even if this source doesn't cut it I featured a magazine source that centers around Bolden, Allen and other cast memebers' roles in Are We There Yet from Jet magazine, check the subject's article if you're intrested. ₛₒₘₑBₒdyₐₙyBₒdy₀₅ (talk) 22:55, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Two drive by mentions - one in a photo caption - do not a demonstrate notability to me. While its true they are mentioned, the question I have that you still haven't answered is "why should we care?" Quite frankly, from where I sit, according to the article and the sources present at this time, we shouldn't care. Ultimately then, guess we'll have to agree to disagree. TomStar81 (Talk) 06:21, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Why should we care?" Are you serious? We're in a deletion discussion that you created where your rationale is the CSD A7 claim about no credible claim of significance when I provided you not one but two reliable sources confirming the roles themselves that fall under WP:HASREFS, and I can give you more. What do you think you're going to find,A in-depth interview with the actor that went on Hiatus for a entire decade? And the fact you're still trying to defend your already debunked point is wild. That's already a good start to get two reliable sources for a stub page thatonly recieve 9 edits in the 6 months before to you nominated the page for deletion albeit 5 of those edits being from myself.

One sentence substub about a non-notable concept. BEFORE failed to find anything substantial. Not eligible for a PROD, due to the prod (from 10 years ago) being about lack of sources, and it being declined due to the existence of not inline source. That source - the best source - is a one-sentence from an old encyclopedia. I usually think that as a rule of thumb, something discussed in an encyclopedia is good for Wikipedia, but not when the entire discussion is a single sentence. At best, I think this could be redirected to whatever work of Thomas Carlyle's this concept originated, if this can be sourced there (I don't think any article links here outside the transclusions from {{Thomas Carlyle}}). Right now his biography doesn't even mention this, and as I noted above, it does not appear this term has caught on in academic or literary discourse.

Does not appear to pass WP:GNG or WP:BIO; not enough coverage found for 'Lisa Hartley' or 'Lisa Farrington'. She was playing as recently as 2016 but with no recorded appearances, see here.

Non-notable poet and songwriter. Appears to be either an autobiography or conflict of interest.

Declined twice in draft space, then created again in article space.

Tagged as possible copyvio. This may be a case of the author tying himself in a knot by first putting the content on a copyrighted site and then in Wikipedia. Submitting this AFD nomination anyway in case at least a stub remains after any copyvio is removed.

None of the references are independent reliable sources. One is YouTube; three are SoundCloud; one is subject's own.

A pretty random professor, overall. As implied by this AfD, membership in the so-called Technical Sciences Academy of Romania does not confer notability. His employer, Valahia University of Târgoviște, is third-rate, which hardly inspires confidence he might pass any WP:PROF criteria.

The motivation for the deletion is absurd. It is not to a petty wikipedian who has no qualification in the field to assess the competence of an organization, mentioning it as "so called". It is an officially recognized as such by the Romanian government. Why would it be so called, just because Biruitorul does not like it. Why would we state that the University where he is teaching is third rate or first rate. Nicolae Vasile has published several technical books. There is no reason to simply state that they worthless. The entire argument suggesting the deletion is simply a non-substantiated personal opinion. Those are not the criteria of Wikipedia. There could be hundreds of articles of Wikipedia which would be delete if we applied the citeria Biruitorul tries to apply to this article. afil

  • Delete. Google Scholar citation counts are well below both what I would expect for a notable academic engineer per WP:PROF#C1, but also below what I would expect for the selection criteria of a properly selective national academy, casting doubt on any case for #C3. Publication of books or papers alone is not enough for notability; those publications must be noted, and in this case we have no evidence that they have been. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:46, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the article when I tried to find information about Nicolae Vasile and found out that, according to Wikipedia he was a Romanian soccer player active in the Spain's third league. It is obviously another person. What I don't understand is why an obscure soccer player of Spain's third league is worth an article and a university professor and author of several books is not. I could easily find other examples to quote this. Maybe athletes are more publicized than scientists in mass media. That does not make them more notable. What makes you doubt about the selectivity of the national academy. It is an organization founded by several members of the Romanian Academy and its scope has been defined by a law voted in the Romanian Parliament and promulgated by the President of Romania. afil

  • Delete As David Eppstein pointed out, the citation profile is not nearly impressive enough to pass WP:PROF#C1, which in turn makes dubious the idea that the Technical Sciences Academy of Romania is selective enough when handing out memberships that those memberships qualify for WP:PROF#C3. In the absence of solid, affirmative evidence that the TSAoR is a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society, the safer course is to assume that it isn't. I make no judgment about whether or not his employer is "third-rate", as that seems beside the point either way. Wiki-notable people can wash up in all sorts of places, and the only case where that would matter for WP:PROF is if we were trying to decide whether a "Distinguished Professor" title or a top-level administrative position were meaningful.

Article about footballer who has only played semi-professionally except for two 2013 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B matches following an injury to the starting goalkeeper. There is plenty of routine Portuguese-language coverage consisting of transfer announcements and match reports, but no in-depth coverage (the article has a good sampling of the routine coverage available). Although the two Série B matches create a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, there is a long-standing consensus that when an article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this does, the presumption isn't valid.

As usual for bad articles about television personalities, this is written like somebody just tried to rewrite his staff profile on the self-published website of one of his own employers -- but as usual for television personalities, the notability test is not the ability to primary source the fact that he exists via content self-created by his own employer, but the ability to verify that he has received third party journalistic attention from media other than his own employers.

It is perhaps too soon for this group. The article's only claim of notability is that one of the group's songs was linked by an athlete on Instagram. Note that most of the items in their discography list, despite being in italics, are just songs and not albums.

WP:BLP of a political figure notable only as a member of a school board. As always, this is not an "inherently" notable level of office that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia in and of itself, and the existence of a small smattering of local coverage, which is simply expected to always exist for all school board members everywhere, does not get him over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL. To qualify for an article on these grounds, he would need to show nationalized coverage demonstrating that he was much more notable than most other school board members -- and while there is one hit of coverage that expands beyond the local here, that still isn't enough. There's also a clear conflict of interest here, as the article has been extensively edited by a user named "TayAndersonCO". Bearcat (talk) 14:58, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A person does not get over the notability bar on sources in which he's doing the speaking about other things — for a source to support his notability, he has to be the subject being spoken about by other people. So he doesn't get over the bar on sources where he's an interview guest, or sources in which he gives a soundbite about Amy Coney Barrett: he gets over the notability bar by being the thing that other people are talking about, not sources in which he's doing the talking. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Every school board member on the planet can always cite local coverage without exception, so local coverage is not enough to get a school board member over the bar all by itself. It requires nationalized coverage to make a school board member notable enough, and it requires a lot more than just one piece of that. Bearcat (talk) 16:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'll have to disagree with you on this. Getting a full profile in WaPo, written about in the NYT as an important member in a movement, and being interviewed alongside Roxane Gay and Anna Deavere Smith pushes someone over the threshold for me. At the risk of invoking WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I think this subject can be written about as extensively as, say, a major league athlete who plays one game.Citing (talk) 16:56, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter whether you disagree with me or not, because Wikipedia consensus is on my side: a person has to be the subject that other people are speaking about in the third person, not the person doing the speaking about subjects, for a source to count as support for his or her notability, and it does take a lot more than just one such source to get a person over the bar.

  • Keep Tay is obviously notable and it's dumb that we are even having this discussion. If every soccer player that's ever lived can get a Wikipedia page, then school board members can too. Calling the coverage he has gotten a "small smattering" is dishonest at best. He certainly has gotten more coverage than your average school board member. And since when does someone need national coverage to be notable? The Denver metro area is larger than entire countries. And if you feel like there has conflict of interest edits, then remove them. I'll never understand why so many Wikipedians are trigger happy with deleting articles. Bluedude588 (talk) 06:43, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Politicians at the local level of office are not "inherently" notable — which means they're not automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist. Mayors, city councillors, county-level officials, school board members, and on and so forth, do have to show that they're considerably more notable than the norm for those levels of office, by virtue of being more than just locally notable within one city. It is true that we don't have a hard ban on "local" topics getting into Wikipedia — but local topics do have to clear a significantly higher burden of "why is this of interest to us?" than topics of much more obviously national significance do. Bearcat (talk) 13:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete hyper-local politician, simply being an elected member of a school board(?!?) doesn't qualify someone for an article.

SportingFlyer T·C 14:49, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • There's nothing against having "local" people on Wikipedia. He is an elected politician who has had a massive amount of coverage. Again, if Li Xiayan is notable, then Tay is too lol. Wikipedia does not require people to have a national presence. Tay has been reported on extensively, which fulfills any notability requirements. Bluedude588 (talk) 18:38, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well, watch out for WP:OSE: just because article A is notable doesn't mean article B is, because article A may not actually be notable in the first place. You are correct local notability is not necessarily a barrier, but being on a school board doesn't meet our notability guidelines at WP:NPOL, and I don't think he's at a point where he's otherwise past the notability threshold, though as I note he's closer than a lot of other local politicians. SportingFlyer T·C 18:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The sources found by Meanderingbartender show extensive national coverage, which likely passes WP:GNG by itself (recognizing the questions by Bearcat). Beyond that WP:POLOUTCOMES states that a local politician "may still clear the bar if they have received national or international press coverage, beyond the scope of what would ordinarily be expected for their role." To me, it is clear that the subject has received national coverage beyond what a normal school board member usually receives. --Enos733 (talk) 17:51, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm generally not in favor of school board directors getting articles, however, he oversees a major municipal school district and has received national coverage, so I think it's enough to pass the keep bar. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 18:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An instance of listcruft. The number of Presidents born in specific states is rather minor compared to how America is their birth country (or how their birthplaces eventually became part of it). I fail to see how such a compilation is worth maintaining. Wikipedia shouldn't become a site dedicated to Presidential statistics. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 14:25, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: I see your point about statistics related to presidential birth places. The problem I have is that a similar article already exists. I think it would be appropriate to somehow consolidate some of the information (i.e. states of primary affiliation, not necessarily their birth state) into that particular article.2601:5C4:4301:5420:5812:B0D2:6148:6BB1 (talk) 16:18, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I never knew of the page you linked, IP, and merging this page into the residences one would certainly help get rid of redundancies. All the more reason for this home state list to not exist. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 16:45, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • That sounds contradictory; trivia-based lists are the opposite of useful when they don't offer anything of encyclopedic value. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 01:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly, that sounds more like a Delete !vote. Foxnpichu (talk) 00:08, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: WP:LISTN says that a list is acceptable if it has been discussed as a group or set. The home states of presidents have been discussed often, especially during election years when discussing strategies for winning key states. As Andrew D says, Where the Presidents Were Born appears to be an especially strong source. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:39, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as previously stated. By the proposer's reasoning, an entire infobox of lists about the presidents and vice presidents of the United States would have to be deleted; that alone suggests that reasoning is WP:CRUFTCRUFT. The information in this list is encyclopedic and a clear topic of discussion; it enables a comparison of personal facts about presidents (age, date & place of birth, state of residence) that are routinely discussed in the broader context of the presidency (as opposed to individual presidents). Also, this list article is already cumbersome due to the multiple topics it covers; merging it into another presidential list would be extremely unwieldy and problematic. --RBBrittain (talk) 16:07, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • That bit on Vice Presidents is a stretch when my rationale actually has nothing to do with those people. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:12, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The United States has, as everybody knows, a Federal structure, and US states have very much of local patriotism and pride. It is very real possibility that an American citizen full of civic pride in his or her home state would like to know which Presidents were born there. Lacking this list, such a person would be reduced to the time-consuming method of looking up the individual page of each and every President and finding their place of birth. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and the function of an encyclopedia is to provide information which people might be interested in, so a page providing that should be preserved.Anne McDermott (talk) 16:16, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure how likely people are to seek out which presidents were born in the same state as them, but WP:ITSINTERESTING isn't a convincing argument either way. I personally feel details on which state each came from is better for their individual articles. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 17:12, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - the notion that having a president as a native son is significant is a long-held truth and point of pride for individual states. There are two states (Virginia and Ohio) that semi-officially refer to themselves as "The Mother of Presidents" (and one, Indiana, "The Mother of Vice Presidents"). Clearly this is an encyclopedic topic per LISTN. 174.254.192.175 (talk) 17:04, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: but rename to List of presidents of the United States by state of birth or something similar per WP:PRECISE criterion.   // Timothy :: talk  05:33, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ps. as for the nominators comment - "a seemingly insignificant random cliff.", need to remember that what can be seen of these formations is above the ice ie. "The summits of the Shackleton Range and Theron Mountains protrude above the EAIS as nunataks at up to 1.8 km above sea level, while the bed at the floor of the Recovery, Slessor, and Bailey troughs is as deep as 2.5 km below sea level; the ice thickness in these glaciers exceeds 3 km [Fretwell et al., 2013."].

  • Keep Per WP:NOTCLEANUP. Clearly notable topic that has become a major trope in pop culture. It gets a pages-long summary in 100 Things X-Men Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die (#44 - Danger Room), as well as numerous pages in the DK X-Men encyclopedia. I am sure there are numerous other significant mentions out there given the Danger Room's long history and usage in X-Men comics and films.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:19, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's all plot summary, and the DC X-Men encyclopedia is a PRIMARY source to boot, so totally irrelevant (it's jut a comic book-style encyclopedia, very in-universe). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:27, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • The encyclopedia isn't a primary source. It was Marvel licensed but published by DK, who collated the information. The other book isn't a primary source either. Primary means it has to come directly from Marvel, which it doesn't.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 08:42, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • Just look at the page visible in the IA. It's a comic book, not a serious publication. Primary sources about Marvel don't have to be published directly by Marvel. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:00, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • It's a cross-section diagram of a building, which plenty of "serious publications" contain. It doesn't look like any sort of comic book I've ever heard of. It's clearly an encyclopedia. Unless you plan to disqualify any encyclopedia entries from reputable publications because they contain pictures.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:34, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
            • To illustrate ZXCVBNM's point further, just compare the DK Guide: London, page 7 or 152/153. I don't see any reason why this should not be used on Wikipedia as a reliable source. It surely isn't the primary source for Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's Cathedral; rather perhaps a tertiary one. So I don't see why the DK X-Men Encyclopedia suddenly should be primary. Daranios (talk) 12:13, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
            • Professional building diagrams don't usually include details like a Wolverine jumping around. And you fail to address the fact that the entry is purely descriptive and contains no shred of analysis or significance. No source has been presented that even calls this location important or significant outside in-universe sources. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
              • Saying that "a Wolverine jumping around" immediately disqualifies a published book from being reliable smacks of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It's very clearly an independent reference work so I'm not really sure how to further prove my point past what I already said.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 10:00, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
                • Please avoid straw man arguments. I didn't stay that ""a Wolverine jumping around" immediately disqualifies a published book from being reliable". I said that "Professional building diagrams don't usually include details like a Wolverine jumping around". What disqualifies this source is that it contains only a description, and has no analysis of the significance and that it is effectively an in-universe compendium - it assumes things are important because they are important in-universe, not in the real world. We should not repeat that pattern. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The nomination starts by telling us about a WP:PROD. This demonstrates blatant disruption because that process is only for "uncontroversial deletion" and "must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected." As these nominations are being routinely opposed, such opposition ought to be expected now. And now this further nomination violates WP:ATD; WP:BEFORE and WP:CIVIL. See also WP:IGNORINGATD; WP:NOTCLEANUP; WP:IDHT; &c. Andrew🐉(talk) 08:50, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - A room can be notable. Even a fictional place - if there are sources. Which so far, I do not see, except a picture book linked above. That is cute but about as helpful for establishing notability as for my cat. Which, arguably, is even cuter...sorry. - GizzyCatBella🍁 09:18, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The cookie-cutter nomination asserts that there are no sources but provides no credible evidence. Per WP:NEXIST, "Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." It seems apparent that this hasn't been done because satisfactory sources can easily be found. For example, the book The Science of the X-Men which details "...the amazing robotics and holograms that make up the X-Men's amazing adaptive obstacle course known as the Danger Room." Andrew🐉(talk) 10:31, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless, the best you seem to find is a one-sentence mention in passing that is effectively a plot summary anyway. Still not a step up from a picture book discussed above. I am still not impressed, sorry - GizzyCatBella🍁 01:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The link I provided is to the description of a book of 274 pages. As that book's focus is explaining the science associated with the topic, that's more than just plot. Per WP:NEXIST and WP:OFFLINE, "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article." Andrew🐉(talk) 11:30, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because there actually are secondary sources. In addition to the ones already mentioned, there are:
Gender, Feminism, and Heroism in Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men Comics gives, besides plot summary, quite a bit of analysis. Also is extensive!; The Ages of the X-Men: Essays on the Children of the Atom in Changing Times has a tiny bit of analysis; MTV calls it "mythic"; does anyone have access to HOLY CRIMINOLOGY, BATMAN! COMICS AND CONSTRUCTIONS OF CRIME AND JUSTICE or Animal Bodies and Artificial Bodies where it is also featured?; Also very interesting, but I don't know if this has been reviewed in any way: Cognitive Rehabilitation Specialization Portfolio.
There's also a number of secondary sources just giving a description or definition of the danger room, like The Marvel Comics Guide to New York City.
Do we need more? These were not difficult to find using Gscholar. So can only join Andrew in asking to really do a proper WP:BEFORE search before nominating for AfD and especially PROD! (Thanks to Toughpigs for detecting this.) Daranios (talk) 11:30, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am afraid you don't understand the difference between analysis and plot summary. Please quote as much as a single sentence form your first source that discusses the Danger Room outside of a plot summary. Where is that "quite a bit of analysis"? Every single sentence that mentions DR is pure plot summary and nothing but. Ditto for your second source, please quote that "tiny bit of analysis" - I don't see it, tiny or otherwise, it's all pure plit summary. Regarding a second source, so what? If an article called something "mythic" in passing, how does it relate to notability? Also, per WP:GOOGLEHITS, please don't throw out sources if you don't even have access to them - how do you know they even discuss this topic? So far zero sources that go beyond plot summary have been presented, and per NFICTION (and GNG), that's just not enough. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:57, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"Every single sentence that mentions DR is pure plot summary"? What about:
Gender, Feminism, and…: "Finally, as opposed to Kitty’s and Emma’s constructions from a third wave feminist perspective, Danger seems to be constructed as a radical feminist character as viewed through a third wave feminist lens." "Danger is born from a literal revolution of consciousness; she becomes newly sentient and realizes that she is forced into a role that is not fulfilling and in which she cannot reach her potential." "Danger herself and her conflict with the X-Men are also similar to radical feminism through patriarchy, essentialism, and separatism. That Danger is a female character is crucial because there is no narrative reason that Danger needs to be female other than to align her with the feminism present in the rest of the text. Not only is Danger an original character, …"
The Ages of the X-Men: "While the X-Men have been trained in hand-to-hand combat, they are much less experienced in arenas of public relations, philosophy, and theology (the X-Men's technologically advanced combat training "Danger Room" appears not to have a "debate" setting)." - Granted, that one takes rephrasing to make it obvious how the presentation of the Danger Room tells us something about the X-Men (franchise).
100 Things X-Men Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die: "There really was not anything like it in comics when it [the Danger Room] was introduced. ... The Danger Room would continue to be a mainstay of X-Men comics over the years, although as time went on, a little bit of the novelty wore off as the concept of a high-tech training cneter was now omnipresent in superheor comic books. ... However, it was not too late for the Danger Room to still surprise fans!..."
And real world effect rather than "analysis" per se: Cognitive Rehabilitation Specialization Portfolio: "The Danger Room in X-Men comics--much like Star Trek's concept of the Holodeck, a hologram grid room deck of their aircraft--is a simulation space engineered to imitate multiple scenarios. With modern technology, ... many of the simulations that we practice as counselors as role-plays, group therapies, one on one counseling, etc, can easily be transferred into computer programs. ... There are rudimentary frameworks that can develop into ideas like Cerebro and the Danger Room such as a new device being implemented in New Jersey knows as TACT." Ethics, Security, and the War Machine: The True Cost of the Military: "Hazma Shaban, technology writer for The Atlantic, describes one such war theatre simulator as “a primitive version of Star Trek’s Holodeck or the X-Men’s Danger Room”"
MTV: "The long familiar scenes of ... the X-Men training in the mythic Danger Room" (just like the quote from 100 Things X-Men Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die) is a secondary source that says exactly what User:Toughpigs used as one part of the deprodding rationale: that "the Danger Room is well known and viewed as an iconic part of the X-Men mythos".
We also do know that the two other sources I asked about actually dicuss the topic - if Google is to be trusted at all - because Google gives us preview sections here and here. These don't tell us the extent, or if they have analysis or not; but why shouldn't it be legitimate to ask if anyone had access here? I did not base my argumentation on those. WP:GOOGLEHITS also does not fit here. Daranios (talk) 15:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep based on the sources provided above, which are enough to pass GNG. I also agree that the encyclopedias are secondary sources as they are published by third parties. They are also clearly not comic books. I view the encyclopedias as a good baseline for articles; if a character is not even worthy of an entry in an encyclopedia, they are likely not worthy of articles. Rhino131 (talk) 12:58, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'm confused as to what anyone is seeing in the above sources that can constitute analysis. If your baseline for "significant coverage" is a single adjective, then all I can say is your standards are absolutely atrocious. On the topic of secondary encyclopedias, if they cannot be used to cite anything but the plot, then they are useless for the purpose of the encyclopedia and do not provide significant coverage. If it's interchangeable for a primary source, then there is no need for its inclusion in the article aside from linkdumping to make the topic appear more important. TTN (talk) 14:12, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, did you actually have a look at Gender, Feminism, and Heroism in Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s Astonishing X-Men Comics (and take into account that this article is both about "Danger Room" the room and "Danger" the sentient entity)? Otherwise, can you point us to where the guidelines say that secondary/tertiary sources providing plot-summary are "useless for the purpose of the encyclopedia". I totally agree that a proper encyclopedic article should have more than plot summary. But I think that an article about a fictional entity without plot summary would be incomplete and a disservice to the reader. And I think the guidelines see it the same way. Daranios (talk) 16:24, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see, you're including the personification. It's a character that exists independently of the concept of the room after its initial storyline, and it only exists in a singular comic line. That'd be line combining JARVIS and Vision together just because of what happens in the MCU. I wouldn't be against an attempt at making an article out of "Danger," but I don't think anything to do directly with the character has any relevance to the room other than poor article management.
If a source can be replaced by primary source with no information or context lost to it, that means the source does not provide any context of its own to add to the article. That means if cannot be said to provide significant coverage, which means it's useless in terms of meeting GNG. That is the case of the majority of these comics encyclopedias. If there is something that dubs itself an encyclopedia that actually provides its own unique commentary, I wouldn't dismiss it just because of the name, but someone would need to actually show it's something worthwhile. TTN (talk) 18:21, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'd definitely include the personification of the Danger Room (that apparently exists) as part of the overall article. They are meant to be the same entity. Notability of the humanoid version is still notability of the Danger Room as a whole.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 23:47, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Even if such a merger made sense, we still haven't proven the notability of the humanoid version. Despite all the comic cruft, until now, nobody has even tried to make an article about it... was an important/notable character like this really skipped? This is simply a red flag suggesting that the humanoid version of the room is even less notable than the room itself. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:59, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Um, Piotrus, have you looked through the article as it is now? It says that it is also about "Danger" the character in the last sentence of the introductory part, and then about half the article (the sections Sentience and Powers and abilities) are about that character. We don't need to merge, the article already is about both. Which makes sense, if e.g. the sentence "the Danger Room developed self-awareness as "Danger"" is correct (which is supported by the secondary sources). If those two sides were not in the same article already, we should have discussed a merger here if we have potentially insufficient secondary sources for either one to combine to a worthwhile article, as preserving content by merging is preferred to deletion by Wikipedia's standards! For the importance of the character, the fact that it has a 17 page chapter called "Danger’s Radical Feminist Villainy" in Gender, Feminism, and... should go a long way to prove it. As it is, I think the secondary sources found so far together already allow for creation of a non-stubby article that does not violate WP:ALLPLOT by someone who is actually willing to improve the article as it is. I also think there are even more out there. If you don't believe that, just continue the searches suggested right there in the AfD notice (maybe adding "X-Men" to the search parameters for ease of use). Daranios (talk) 11:16, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@TTN: I don't see why a one-page-entry in a secondary source which is summarizing plot about a fictional element with numerous different appearances should not be "significant". I don't think that is in WP:GNG, we are now interpreting it. Of course there is another guideline which requires us to provide information beyond plot summary. So if we had only secondary source providing only plot summary, we should not have a standalone article. But if there are enough secondary sources, big or small, to allow us to fullfill WP:NOTPLOT and write more than "only a few sentences" or "half a paragraph or a definition of that topic", to quote WP:N, why should we not have an article? Daranios (talk) 15:37, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the information extracted from the source is no different than what can be found in a primary source, what is that source offering? What is significant about that source? Each source needs to be judged both on its own inherent reliability and what is actually brings to the article. That something is reliable does not mean it is necessary if the context it provides is trivial or non-existent. If I can go through and replace it with primary sources, then there is literally no reason for it to have been there in the first place. The only benefit would be if the user does not know the origin of a particular in-universe fact but wants to otherwise use one of those encyclopedias as a temporary stop-gap until that is found. The only things that have any impact for fictional topics are sources providing real world information. I don't think that has been fulfilled for the primary topic, and I don't think a related, but otherwise separate topic should be even discussed in this context. TTN (talk) 18:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikpedia seems to prefer secondary sources over primary ones. Of course they are not needed in every case. But the nominator wants to have them, because the article is accused of being partially original research, and the topic of not meeting WP:GNG. So even if secondary sources only provides the same information than primary sources, they make sure that content is not OR (even if the same could often be assumed in good faith). And the notability guideline uses the existence of secondary sources as its main criterion (or in other words, if someone thought they could make money or gain a reputation by writing about the topic). Here specifically, however, plot summarys about the Danger Room/Danger as a whole seem to be important to me, because the topic has appeared in so many instances over a wide range of years and individual media. So to achieve the same quality of plot summary a secondary source can provide using primary sources only, many citations would be needed. And then we would probably be back at the accusation of OR.

  • Keep per comments above or merge to X-Men per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD. BOZ (talk) 16:20, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per argument made by ZXCVBNM and Andrew. Also, I should point out that Wikipedia:Notability (fiction) is not a requirement or a guideline. It is an essay on notability, which I quote "contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints." This refutes part of the nominator's argument that it doesn't pass a "specific requirement" as there is currently no clear consensus as to how notability affects fictional topics in a specific and distinct way, and only the guidelines under Wikipedia:Notability applies, which means the same as everything else. Haleth (talk) 23:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - in addition to the sources previously listed, there are several that go much further into detail about its creation by Lee & Kirby than the article currently does.

  • Keep based on Piotrus' discounting a source because it shows "Wolverine jumping around." A clear case of IDONTLIKEIT. — Toughpigs (talk) 16:44, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The first thing I would like to point out is that Toughpigs isn't wrong about the Danger Room being a substantial part of the X-Men mythos (on a sidenote, WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES may not be a substantive argument for an AfD vote, but deprodders only have to consider whether the nomination is likely to be controversial). But more importantly is the coverage and quotations provided by Daranios above, which cover the topic from a real world perspective and even provide critical analysis. I have read through the counterarguments, but I just don't find any of them convincing. The sources were immediately accused of being all plot summary, which honestly happens every time someone provides coverage for a fictional element (because apparently WP:ALLPLOT = Any plot, even when there's an overwhelming consensus from everyone else that the sources are sufficient).

First deletion discussion in 2010 closed as no consensus. Although there are no hits on Google Newspapers, ~8 items come up across a couple versions of Google News, including: a MintPress News article primarily covering a somewhat-viral activist speech she made on facebook, another MNP article that briefly cites her, a post on HackRead about a hacker who left one of her youtube videos on a Uganda government site, a Middle East Eye article written by her, an MEE article briefly quoting her, and an Institute for Public Accuracy piece that quotes her. She is also occasionally cited as an expert in other news reports that weren't curated by Google News for whatever reason, and seems to speak at some conferences. The first MPN article provides the most coverage of her by far, however it is a deprecated source. Do these establish general notability? JoelleJay (talk) 02:46, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I have added some more references including two books that refer to her, as well as two of her own publications, which I think enable her to meet WP:GNG. Melcous (talk) 08:05, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for adding more refs. I do want to ask if a single paragraph in a book is sufficient coverage for notability? My interpretation of GNG is that the citations to her Congressional testimony, LiberateThis site, personal publications, and conference speech announcement shouldn't be used to assess notability (details sourced solely to those refs are also probably UNDUE in the article itself). It's also hard to say whether news articles and books citing her opinion on a topic–and inserting the requisite brief blurb of her background for context–actually satisfies the requirements, as these pieces of information are not generally about her any more than an article on a disease that quotes a research professor is about the professor. JoelleJay (talk) 19:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Here is a run-down of the refs so far (minus the understandingdeeppolitics.org one that I just removed since it's a conspiracy site):
  1. A speech by Wasfi on YouTube.
  2. An interview of her in a news aggregator site conducted by an anonymous "Newsmaster". This site doesn't seem to have a distinct editorial team, although it says the articles it aggregates are hand-picked. It doesn't say anything about editorial oversight for its original contributions.
  3. Bio of Wasfi from her website (LiberateThis.com).
  4. YouTube video of her Congressional testimony.
  5. A single quote from one of her speeches in a Christian book.
  6. A short guest opinion piece on EngagingPeace.com by a teenager who was inspired by a series of articles by Wasfi published on the same site.
  7. A Siasat article rehosting her YouTube video and its transcription, along with an almost word-for-word copy of an old version of her wiki page.
  8. Six sentences in a book of "censored news stories" from 2009, the first three basically a summary of her bio on wiki.
  9. An article by Wasfi on informationliberation.com.
  10. A history memoir that mentions Wasfi's conference speech running overtime, causing the author's panel to start late.
  11. NYU's announcement of the conference she spoke at.
  12. A journal article containing selected quotes from interviews of 14 North American activists who had lived in Iraq. Of the 14, only Wasfi and Kathy Kelly have wiki articles or are even mentioned anywhere on wikipedia. I know this isn't a good barometer of reliability, but it does demonstrate the criteria used for choosing interviewees was unrelated to being high-profile.

I think currently the refs are fairly extensive, but I'm not really convinced the coverage is truly non-trivial or significant. JoelleJay (talk) 19:12, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Just because there are a few references doesn't mean someone is necessarily notable - as I've previously noted, there's some coverage, but it doesn't seem to rise to the level of notability. SportingFlyer T·C 19:29, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP:GNG, WP:NBAND independently of their X-Factor appearance. Most of the coverage is in the context of X-Factor, so let's focus on reviewing the coverage that isn't:

  1. [34] Interview in a publication that doesn't list any editorial information, likely unreliable and mostly non-independent.
  2. [35] WP:ROUTINE coverage of a release, not significant
  3. [36] routine coverage announcing an upcoming concert, not significant
  4. [37] I can't find any editorial information, likely unreliable, mostly an interview and thus largely non-independent anyway
  5. [38] No editorial information, likelly unreliable
  6. [39] press release, not independent
  7. [40] routine coverage of label signing
  8. [41] routine coverage of label signing
  9. [42] appears to be a web blog, doesn't appear to be reliable
  10. [43] Interview with no significant independent coverage of anything post X-factor
  11. [44] press release with a phony byline, not reliable

This was previously a redirect to The X Factor (American season 3), so redirect would be an appropriate outcome here. Bringing it to XfD as opposed to edit warring over it as Onel5969 has already attempted to convert it to a redirect only to be reverted by the initial editor. signed, Rosguill talk 22:46, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Problematic Citations Removed[edit]

Excellent notes above. All problematic citations mentioned have been removed -- re: WP:GNG, there are no non-independent or advertorial sources, and there is significant coverage from reliable sources (Billboard, CMT, Sounds Like Nashville (editorial information here)) directly addressing the band and its accomplishments independent of X factor. The band has recently signed to Sony/ATV publishing, writing songs for Rascal Flatts, etc. as a songwriting trio. (Cited: [45]) --Lukelevenson (talk) 15:25, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Significant non-X Factor coverage[edit]

Have inserted additional information on the band's Billboard chart history, songwriting work for Rascal Flatts, Granger Smith, and David James, signing to Sony Music Nashville, and more history that has received significant non-X Factor coverage from WP:GNG independent, significant and reliable outlets including CMT, Billboard, and the 40-year-old trade publication Music Row Magazine.

When the band played the Today show, their debut single was peaking at No. 7 on Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart, as cited here:

  1. [46]and two other Billboard charts.

Additionally, for example:

  1. [47] posted on CMT's channel, revealing the band's ongoing work with producer Dann Huff and studio work with Kane Brown.
  2. [48] announcing the band's signing to Sony/ATV music publishing.
  3. [49] the band has written songs for Rascal Flatts, Granger Smith, and David James.

  • Regarding the additional sources provided by Lukelevenson, the charting singles are for songs that are co-authored with other artists, which falls in a gray area as far as establishing notability.

This is apparently a political party whose role is limited to two local government areas. Theonly way an article could be produced on such a localized topic is by including excessive detail, which is what has been done here. This is not of nationwide or more general significance.

The references are almost entirely from the group itself or from local newspapers. The one that say BBC are worded in a way which makes the look national, but they are not. They're from BBC Dorset, the local edition or distribution. DGG ( talk ) 01:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, below the threshold. Local news interest only. Geschichte (talk) 05:38, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - One of the few times I would disagree here. I would argue that municipal representation is enough to pass notability. Coverage is naturally going to be localized given that it is a local political party. Despite being a WP:OSE copout, there are several examples of municipal political parties passing muster (Projet Montreal, Surrey First, Burnaby Green Party) and several others that exist, but are woefully undersourced (which truthfully undercuts my argument, lol). In the end, I don't care either way, but I still think this passes notability due to representation. Bkissin (talk) 20:20, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The party doesn't meet the threshold of notability due to it being local. Plus, it only seems to have gotten local coverage. Although I don't feel like doing it, one could argue that the other local political party articles could probably be deleted for the same reason.

  • Delete - I see a lot of references above to this article failing to reach "the threshhold" but no actual identification of what that threshold is supposed to be. Applying WP:ORG and WP:AUD we're left with BBC references to establish notability. I disagree with DGG as I think the BBC News references are clearly national news, albeit the local news section of it (the comparison is the the New York Times reporting on news in New York - the audience for that news extends far beyond New York). However the BBC mentions are not WP:SIGCOV since ALL is only briefly mentioned. As such WP:ORG is failed. I agree with Bkissin that local parties should generally be featured if possible, and I do not personally like WP:AUD as a rule (a Maltese newspaper is "national" but the London Evening Standard is "local"?), but it is not for us to simply disapply the rules. FOARP (talk) 10:57, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In addition to the NYT reporting in NYC in the main paper, they used to have separate supplementary sections, for Long Island, and for other suburbs. The material in those supplements was not up to the same standards, and I have never used it on WP. I consider that to be the analogy. DGG ( talk ) 19:55, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First, the easy parts: I would never include diverse organizations of the same type in a single AfD; in most such cases it turns out that some are more notable or at least better referenced than others.
Second, decisions at WP:AFD are erratic enough that it doesn't make sense to go by precedent, however desirable it might theoretically be. Forvery similararticles, there will typically be different results based on various extraneous factors, such as local knowledge, and the inclinations of those who appear. For successive AfDs of the same article, different results are both common and expected. When I came here. 14 years ago, it was obvious that almost anything could be deleted by renominating in sufficient times; although it is not the practice to renominate as rapidly as people did then, something similar can still happen, especially when there are a few people dedicated to removing an article, whether for good reasons or for prejudice, and the supporters are scattered.
And one very recent improvement is the recognition at Deletion Review that old AfDs of an article are not necessarily relevant to current standards. I don't think this has yet been formalized, but many admins will often not delete by G4 if the AfD is too far back.
But, re-reading the article and following the references and links, I've concluded that by my standards this party is notable, because it has actually succeeded in electing candidates in significant elections. Not being up-to-date with British local political organization, I tried in response to this afd to learn something about it, if only at the level of WP articles, and I see that I under-rated the current significance of the county and district councils.
I: cannot simply withdraw the AfD, because 2 other WPedians have !voted Delete. But I want to:
withdraw the delete recommendation implied by the nomination, and change my !vote to Keep. DGG ( talk ) 07:17, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DGG: I will say that your response surprised me a bit, but I can understand it. (I will say that this is an odd situation where a decently sourced article is up for AfD compared to others in the same category.) Given your comments, I am going to say that we should Keep the article as the only problem I really see is that there are sources that could be added to the article, but are not. Still, I was able to find five independent sources including the ones in the article that could be useable. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Hopefully these would be sufficient to satisfy the claims of no reliable sourcing. --Super Goku V (talk) 11:49, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Fails WP:GROUP. Just being a local political party or independent political movement is not inherently notable. Being a group, residents Group, area group (The Cynon Valley Party), political arm (Cross-Community Labour Alternative), political statement group or party (Official Monster Raving Loony Party), animal Politics, or any other special interest group that can be formed by registering before an election, still depends on the notability sourcing requirements. Notability: {{tq|the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources and WP:V#Reliable sources and notability, If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it. The two BBC sources are not even about the subject but the "Dorset's nine councils to merge into two unitary authorities." Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria should also be considered. Extra comments: Independent groups that form can join other parties or groups to form a coalition or coalition club. Currently there is one "party" member elected in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and four in the Dorset Council. Regardless, these are very local council seats from a local group. The can of worms would be that all forms of local entities, regional, county (parish), police jury, and other strictly encyclopedic non-notable, mainly primary sourced with possible a local reference or two, would be eligible for consideration under a relaxed criteria. It would not make sense to allow a local political faction an article without allowing the entity it represents to also have an article. Where is the encyclopedic value in either of those? Now multiply the number of countries (195 including two observer states) by the number of regional, sub-regional, state, and local areas and parties for a possible total of multiple thousands of poorly sourced articles. I realiaze other stuff is not supposed to be a good argument but it happens almost daily. It might look good for Wikipedia article number expansion but poorly sourced local parties and councils (juries) will be a degradation. It should not be forgotten that this usually includes the names of living people that is supposed to have a higher source requirement. Otr500 (talk) 14:45, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a Bollywood film, sourced only to a listings site and IMDb (neither of which is WP:RS) since creation in 2015. A WP:BEFORE search both for the English and the Hindi (सौ साल बाद) title turned up nothing better. (It is necessary to include the year, 1966, in any search, because another film with the same title was released in 1989.) The plot in IMDb and in this blog are word-for-word identical with the one in the article, which may or may not indicate a copyright problem.

        • Pigsonthewing - Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this, I didn't have this discussion watchlisted. The Ordnance Survey reference says Name: Gannow Green, Bromsgrove Place type: Woodland Or Forest. The other sources just use it as a landmark or call it "Gannow Green Farm". I'm not finding a whole lot that definitively says what it is, but I am in the US, and my search engine downweights non-US sites. This calls it an "agricultural feature", but it's nowhere near RS, so I don't really trust whatever it says. It's possible there's a town named after the green that I'm finding, but considering that the article itself calls Gannow Green an "area", it could well be a locally prominent woodland. I think this may be a small woodland of some sort, but I'm not 100% sure. Hog Farm Bacon 02:29, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment I have to agree with those who doubt that it is or was ever a town. None of the references supplied calls it a town, and the Ordinance Survey map doesn't show one, or for that matter, enough room for there to have been one. The OS "Get Outside" reference specifically calls it a "Woodland Or Forest"; the Historic England reference refers to "Gannow Green Farm"; and the BWAS reference on the moated site describes the latter as the site of "a substantial medieval house with the stone wall being a status symbol rather than being needed for defence."

I have a suspicion that this article may possibly be a hoax. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Winter, 2nd Baronet, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarah Winter, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/48 Belgrave Square, all for articles by the same author. Of the two references, I was able to track down the Burke Peerage, which mentions a Lt. Col Christopher Hamilton who was knighted, but with no further biographical details. I can find no evidence that the other book listed as a reference exists. I was able to find that there was a Lt. Col Christopher Hamilton stationed on Ceylon as part of the British Army, but given that that Christopher Hamilton was apparently in the British Army in 1812 and this fellow was supposedly born in 1810, it doesn't seem to be him. I cannot find verification that a Christopher Hamilton was a MP from Tipperary. See also [article on that Parliament consituency], which doesn't mention this fellow or leave room for him to be an MP for it. I can't find any mentions of "Jane FitzGerald-de Ros", his supposed wife, in RS. She was added to her father's WP article by an IP with no source, claiming to be married to the person who this article claims to be the subject's father.

He was commander of British troops in SW Ireland (headquartered in Limerick), but not County Dublin as the article claims.

Since this appears to be a hoax and has survived for 10 years, should it be added to the list of hoaxes after deletion? Hog Farm Bacon 03:23, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Obviously if the details were true he would pass WP:NPOL, but that's precisely why I always point out that the notability test is not passed by what the article says, but by how well the article is referenced to reliable sources which properly verify that the things it says are true. People can and do try to insert lies into Wikipedia all the time, so just claiming passage of a notability criterion still doesn't exempt a person from having to have real sources. Obviously, if better sources can be found in the future to prove that he really existed, then an article could be recreated at that time — but there's enough doubt about this that the burden of proof would fall on the (re)creators rather than the gainsayers, and I won't be holding my breath in the meantime.

Fails the notability guideline for companies. PRODed back in 2016, but removed by Ravinder3790 (talk · contribs), an editor heavily involved with the article who I suspect has a conflict of interest. – Teratix 02:26, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - COI aside, the topic itself doesn't meet notability guidelines by a long shot. There is no significant coverage and that coverage that does exist comes from blogs and non-reliable sources. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:22, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A non-notable character that appeared in a single issue of a comic book. There are no reliable sources currently in the article, and searching for additional sources turns up very little. The character is mentioned in a few books as something that was worked on by Dennis O'Neil, but the coverage is limited to just demonstrating that it existed, with no actual indication of notability.

Unsourced article apparently created by the editor in chief of the paper. The article has remained unsourced for 7 years and the newspaper apparently no longer exists and from what I can gather from the Albanian language article , which is just a gallery of its front pages, it only existed for a month or so. Nothing found in a before search and the subject's website is no longer actif. Dom from Paris (talk) 00:36, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
