This film does not satisfy film notability guidelines. In particular, see the future film guidelines. These guidelines state that films that have not yet entered principal photography are not considered notable, even if the film is likely to be a high-profile release, such as a film by Martin Scorsese. This film appears to be a planned film that is not yet in principal photography, and so could be delayed further or could go into development limbo. In this case, production was already delayed once before the coronavirus pandemic.

There is a myth in Wikipedia that multiple reliable sources will result in notability. That is a myth because reliable sources are a necessary but not sufficient condition for notability. No number of reliable sources change the fact that the film is not yet in production, and that the reliable sources say that the film is not yet in production.

Articles on this film have been deleted via PROD once and draftified once. Because the draft exists, this copy cannot be draftified and should be deleted. The draft can be accepted when the film is released. Robert McClenon (talk) 21:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NFF. If everything goes well, this film will start shooting in February 2021, which is more than five months from now.

  • Delete - No indication of notability. --John B123 (talk) 20:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Actually, the second source used in the article, translated from French, says she is the first woman in her ethnic group to break into a singing tradition that has always been reserved for men. Overall the two sources currently in the article introduce her as an example of her music community, but they are written like tourist promotions on behalf of Mayotte (an island off the coast of Africa) rather than focusing on her career. Otherwise she is only present in the usual streaming and promotional services. For music lovers, this article may introduce us to a little-known genre worth exploring, but this singer has not gained reliable media notice. ––DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:40, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Castor Station, Missouri[edit]

Castor Station, Missouri (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I am completely bewildered as to what exactly is going on here. One of the references is a site claiming to be a directory of places in Madison County, but Castor Station isn't mentioned there. That page appears to be a small section of a longer listing by the Missouri State Historical Society, but even that larger directory doesn't mention a Castor Station. The 1959 Hidgon topo is also cited, but it's not on there. It apparently should be at the junction of the Castor River and Cape Creek, near Spring Valley Church, but it's not there. In fact, the 1910, 1959, 200, 2015, and 2017 topos do not include any marking of "Castor Station": Only two buildings and a survey boundary monument. It is on the 2011 topo, with nothing marked there, but disappears again by 2015. Google maps takes me to a house in the middle of the woods. Appears on the [https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ht-bin/tv_browse.pl?id=8b9980b1f629b679480c50ec9b9f65d9 1959 large-scale topo], but with no indication of anything there. I can find nothing meaningful on Google search or Google books. I don't know what it is, but the fact that this doesn't show up on pre-GNIS small-scale topos (just one that covers 2/3's of the Ozarks) and the fact that whatever this is, it isn't mentioned in most of the normal/claimed sources, indicates that "Castor Station" probably isn't notable. Surprisingly, this isn't on a railroad, or the name might make more sense. Hog Farm Bacon 19:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A Castor station near Fredericktown had its liquor license suspended in 1964, but that's all I found on newspapers.com. Reywas92Talk 20:21, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Reywas: - Do you think it could be a gas station, then? The claimed location of Castor Station is only about eight miles from, which makes sense, and would be how "station" shows up in the name and why it had a liquor license. Would also explain why there's apparently never been anything more than two buildings there, and why I can find basically nothing at all about this "place".

  • delete I get hits for "Castor" not nothing in books for Castor Station. I did pull up the historical society place name page for the county, and it mentions a "Castor Church" but nothing that could be identified with this supposed place. Mangoe (talk) 21:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm surprised this has flown under the radar as long as it has — but indeed, if we already have a list of people from a specific city, then we don't need separate sublists of people in a particular occupation from that same city standing alone as independent articles. Including the artists in the general list is fine, and has been done — but they don't need their own separate list. Bearcat (talk) 23:44, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article topic does not WP:NPOL. Apparently, articles about unelected politicians like Naveed Anwar, Darrin Lamoureux and Naomi Hunter should be deleted regardless of the status of the party of which they are leaders.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 18:52, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This fellow is currently the unelected leader of the Saskatchewan Liberal Party. He does not appear to meet WP:NPOL or WP:GNG based on the sources available. As you will see, the deletion was recommended by another editor at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Naomi Hunter.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 19:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete, I was able to find a bit of coverage that goes beyond the usual ROUTINE election and party news [1], as well as some local coverage of the business he runs with his family [2]. If there's likely to be offline coverage then we may be in NPOSSIBLE territory, but based solely on internet sources I think we fall short of GNG. signed, Rosguill talk 19:25, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. I searched Google, JSTOR and various newspaper databases for sources but only found WP:ROUTINE. Notability is not inherited and he hasn't received enough coverage to be notable. The Star Phoenix article mentioned above is speculation about Anwar affecting a riding's election result but I think that shows notability for the riding result, not Anwar. Also, the PAHerald article sourced above might give notability to the company Anwar founded, but not necessarily to him. I would change my !vote if I found a profile about him or if he was elected to public office. Z1720 (talk) 01:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Z1720, I do not agree with you on this. kindly check google news once again. - Hatchens (talk) 03:53, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    In responding to the above request, I did a second look on Google News. One source I found [3] has a short bio on Anwar but the rest of the article discusses Sask. Liberal Party strategies and policies for the upcoming election. Some articles discuss his acclamation to the leadership: [4] [5] while others describe his candidacy for MLA in the 2016 election [6] [7]. Recently, there have been news articles about him stepping down as leader of the Sask. Liberal Party: [8] [9]. The problem I have with these sources is I don't think they show why a leader of a minor party in Saskatchewan (with no seats in their legislature for 15+ years) should have their own article, per WP:NPOL. He wasn't elected, his party has no representation, and he is not being profiled by media or academic sources. I am actually thinking of proposing a redirect to the Saskatchewan Liberal Party#Dissent and decline section to give information about his time as leader. If there's a source that would help show WP:N, please post it and I'll evaluate it. Z1720 (talk) 21:08, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep and expand. As an incumbent leader of Saskatchewan Liberal Party, he passes WP:NPOL. Enough credible media citations are available in the Google News. -Hatchens (talk) 03:55, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    NPOL doesn't establish the notability of state-level party leaders (or for that matter, any level). Per WP:POLOUTCOMES, Leaders of major sub-national (state, province, prefecture, etc.) level are usually deleted unless notability can be demonstrated for other reasons. signed, Rosguill talk 04:16, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. We long ago deprecated the idea that every leader of a political party was automatically handed an "inherent" notability freebie just for existing, without regard to his sourceability or lack thereof. The standard is now that leaders of political parties who are not also actual MLAs need to clear WP:GNG on their sourcing, which is a significantly higher bar than just being able to verify that they exist — rather, the requirement is to demonstrate the significance of his leadership, not just the fact of it, and this article isn't doing what's needed. Bearcat (talk) 23:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - leader of a significant political party in Saskatchewan. Sowny (talk) 00:08, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That "significant" political party has not had a seat in the Saskatchewan legislature since 2003. It received 3.59% of the vote in the last election and received no seats. Also Anwar has resigned so he is no longer the leader (holding the office for only two years). If the current leader of the Green Party of Saskatchewan is not notable, why would Anwar be? Anwar does not meet WP:NPOL. Do you have any evidence to support a claim he has met WP:GNG?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 01:21, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Unlike the Greens, the Liberals were once the ruling party of Saskatchewan and were more recently part of a governing coalition. That makes them a legacy party, IMHO, unlike the Greens who have never won a seat, and therefore Liberal Party leaders are notable, while SK Green leaders are not. Sowny (talk) 03:01, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
One party has been in decline since the 1990s and the other is in an uptick across the country. The Sask Liberals have received a smaller and smaller share of the vote in every election since the 90s. They were wiped out in 2003 and have not held a seat since (17 years). Anwar was the leader for two years (none of them during an election, and none of them where he held any elected office, nor when his party had any representation in the legislature). Naomi Hunter is the current leader who will be taking the party into an election in the coming months. If she is not notable, I don't see how Anwar is. What about those WP:RS showing Anwar has received significant coverage to warrant general notability?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 03:35, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, the difference is he is or was the leader of a legacy party and she is not. A better comparison would be with former BC Conservative leader Dan Brooks who has an article. If he merits an article so do Lamoureux and Anwar. Sowny (talk) 05:29, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure Brooks does warrant an article. He also seems to fail NPOL and GNG. It is notable that neither of the last two Conservative leaders (including the current one) have articles. Also the BC Conservatives aren't really a legacy party. They are no relation to the historic Conservatives in BC who actually governed the province, having merged a long time ago into what is not the BC Liberal Party. Regardless, as I have been told, there is no assumed notability for unelected provincial positions per WP:NPOL. Those arguing WP:GNG have to establish significant coverage in WP:RS. Anwar doesn't have such coverage.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk)
Per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the fact that Dan Brooks has an article (which you may notice has also been flagged for notability questions since 2014) does not mean every leader of every political party gets to have one too — it means Dan Brooks' article should also be put up for deletion (and just guess what's now happened). Leading a "legacy" party is not a notability freebie that works differently than leading an "emerging" party does — either way, the person still has to clear WP:GNG on the back of enough reliable sourcing to write a substantive article about the significance of their leadership, and does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because it's possible to nominally verify that they exist(ed) as a leader of a political party with no representation in the legislature during their leadership. Bearcat (talk) 15:56, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Conversely, as to Darryl's point, otherstuffdoesntexist - the fact that Hunter's bio was deleted doesn't in and of itself justify deleting another article. The point remains that the Liberal Party of Saskatchewan, unlike the Greens, is s legacy party that was in government relatively recently (as a minority coalition partner) and had previously been in government as a majority. As for GNG - they pass it because they are the leader of a legacy party, therefore they are notable. Sowny (talk) 17:30, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
What are you talking about? How were they RECENTLY part of a coalition government when they haven't had a seat in the legislature for 17 years? Your idea of what constitutes "recently" seems to be quite different from mine.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 17:38, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This tangent is moot, GNG doesn't include any provisions for the automatic notability of party leaders, regardless of size or "legacy" status, nor does any other notability guideline. signed, Rosguill talk 17:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GNG is a measure of an article's sourcing, not of how important the topic's notability claim does or doesn't sound to you. There is nothing in GNG that states that leaders of "legacy" political parties are treated differently than leaders of "emerging" political parties when it comes to notability — either way, the question of whether they qualify to have a standalone biographical article, separately from having their name mentioned in the party's article, lives or dies on the quality and depth of their sourcing, not on the question of whether the party is a "legacy" one or an "emerging" one. Bearcat (talk) 16:55, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Notability states "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." and that: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.". The article meets that standard of notability and in addition, the sources cites are both reliable and independent so as far as I can see, all three elements of the test have been passed. Sowny (talk) 21:01, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GNG is not just automatically met by every article that happens to have sources in it — it is not simply a matter of counting the footnotes and keeping anything that happens to surpass two, but also tests sources for their depth, their geographic range and the context of what they're covering the person for. That is, a political party leader does not instantly pass GNG just because you can show a blip of "person wins leadership" on the day of the convention and another blip of "leader resigns" on the day of his resignation — to get a political party leader over GNG, you have to show ongoing coverage of his work in the leadership, substantively establishing the significance of his leadership (which is not the same thing as the mere fact of it per se) and spanning the years in between the leadership conventions. Bearcat (talk) 23:26, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, but the sources in the article establish notability beyond the threshold established by the policy, as written, and that is what is required. I cannot see evidence of the added strictures you are imposing in the actual policy, as it is written. Sowny (talk) 00:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I've often pointed out in AFD discussions, if the existence of two sources were enough all by itself to hand people a GNG-based exemption from having to be notable for any specific reason that would pass any of Wikipedia's subject-specific inclusion criteria, then we would have to keep an article about my mother's neighbour who once got into the papers for finding a pig in her front yard — which is exactly why notability doesn't work that way, and does work exactly the way I said it does: it tests the footnotes for factors like their depth, their geographic range and the context in which they're covering the person, not just for whether n>2 or not, and not all possible sources are equal contributors toward the actual notability test. We require coverage which establishes the significance of his leadership, not just the technical fact of it per se. Bearcat (talk) 00:24, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Does your mother have an article on CBC News profiling her? This article goes beyond establishing the "technical fact" of his political candidacy and explicitly discusses the significance of his candidacy, as per the standard you've laid out, as does the Leader-Post article. [10] Sowny (talk) 06:42, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, "may have contributed to the defeat of another party's candidate because he got almost exactly the same number of votes that the other guy lost by" is not an article-clinching claim of significance in and of itself — it is not a reason why his role was "important" enough that he would pass the ten year test on that basis alone. And secondly, people are not handed an automatic notability pass just because the letters "cbc" happen to be present in the web URL of some of their news coverage — there's still a big difference between coverage from the national news division of the CBC, which counts for a lot more, and coverage from the CBC's local news bureaux in the individual cities, which count for a lot less. (Coverage on The National counts for a hell of a lot more than coverage on Saskatoon Morning does, frex — so one footnote having the letters "cbc" in it doesn't instantly clinch a magic notability pass all by itself if the same footnote also has the letters "saskatoon" in it.)
The article claims absolutely nothing that counts as notability-clinching evidence that his leadership was more significant than his lack of a seat in the legislature would suggest, and to pass GNG in lieu of having to pass NPOL he still needs a lot more than just a small handful of press hits in Saskatchewan's local media. Bearcat (talk) 13:48, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep: Anwar received coverage in the aftermath of the 2016 election, including speculation that his candidacy was a deliberate (and successful) spoiler to bring down then-NDP leader Cam Broten. When he assumed the leadership of the Sask. Liberals, the Herald published an op-ed about it and the party's fortunes. It's not much, but the former is a relatively big deal, and the latter suggests he was still well-known enough to merit reaction a couple years later (AFAICT, previous leaders didn't get that sort of attention). So I lean towards keep, though the article could stand to be improved by focusing more on his 2016 candidacy (which is actually his biggest impact) instead of his leadership (which is not really significant). — Kawnhr (talk) 18:46, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:EVENTCRITERIA. No enduring historical significance. Largely obscure, except for WP:FRINGE sources like Roger Leir, Kevin Randle, ufo magazines, Brazilian tabloids, etc. A single WP:SENSATIONAL story published in the Wall Street Journal 25 years ago is not sufficient criteria for a stand alone article. I would say it might deserve mention at List of reported UFO sightings however the event isn't a sighting of a UFO, it's a confusing mishmash of secondhand claims of people saying they saw aliens, and a supposed conspiracy/coverup.

  • Keep. By coincidence over the past week I've been watching video reports, clips from media reports on this case and it is treated as a very famous case in the Spanish-speaking world. The Portuguese article is long and has a lot of references. I only speak English, however, so I can't vet the content. In my view at this time it would be better to just add an Expert needed template message {{expert needed}} at the top of the article and a corresponding section on the talk page describing what the deficiency is that needs improving before taking the drastic step of deletion. 5Q5| 12:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In Brazil, the case is known as the "ET de Varginha", the case is a constant subject of stories on TV and on channels about ufulogy. The case is one of the most recognized in the world. So, I vote to keep this page on wikipedia. Raonyphillips (talk) 17:08, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. I was astonished to find out this article had been AfD'ed. This incident could probably be the most notorious UFO/alien-related event outside of the U.S and by far the most relevant in Brazil. Easy for me to say it as a Brazilian, of course, but the article kinda demonstrates that. It does have problems, of course, but that's what tags are for. Also, half the sources come from some of Brazil's largest news organizations (Globo, ISTOÉ), they're not just some "tabloids". The PT version has additional good sources, and a Google search would return even more of them, but I honestly won't even bother adding them unless more people start supporting the deletion, which seems unlikely.

  • Keep This is a well-reported event in new age magazines as it is an encounter outside the scope of Area 51 and the US military. Hence, it has strong notability for this reason alone. -- Whiteguru (talk) 12:58, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I was impressed by the comments above that the page is "well-reported" and "[t]he coverage in reliable sources is overwhelming." I am going to assume good faith here, and further assume that those comments might actually be true. Those comments do not, however, apply to this article in its current state. Of the 15 in-line citations, I found: two are likely reliable sources (citations 2 and 3); seven either can not be evaluated by me, have no content, or link to pages having nothing to do with the topic (citations 1, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15); six, or 40% of the total, are unquestionably unreliable, being written and sometimes published by established pro-fringe, pseudoscience pushers (citations 4, 7, 9. 11, 13, 14). I do not understand Portuguese, and am thus unable to attempt rectification, but as it currently stands the elements of WP:FRINGE and WP:FRIND, to name only two, are what I consider to be overwhelming. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:56, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This is complete bollocks, but it is notable bollocks, precisely the sort of bollocks that should be covered by Wikipedia. References 1,5,6, and 8 are from large Brazilian media companies, they are reliable sources (they do have a problem with rightwing bias, but that's not at stake here). Reference 11 is just an article from an established newspaper saying that a statue of the ET has been adorned with a mask to campaign against corona, I don't see what could be possibly wrong with that. References 13 and 14 are from an UFO maganize, but they are merely noting that a documentary has been produced about the affair, I think that's fair game. Reference 12 is about this same documentary, and 15 about some Syfy tv show. This leaves us with references 4,7,9 as fringe sources, and 10 as inaccessible. All in all, it's a clear Keep. Tercer (talk) 16:34, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will take your word for it that citations 1, 5, 6 and 8 are reliable. That makes a total of six reliable sources out of fifteen. As for citations 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, per WP:FRIND (and actually the entire WP:FRINGE guideline) they are inappropriate and unreliable because they are written by confirmed, no-doubt-about-it, pro-fringe POV-pushers (i.e., Kevin Randle, Roger Leir, Bret Lueder, "Redação Vigília", Mel Polidori), and citation 14 is an out-and-out UFO woo website. When the dead/content-free links are included (citations 12 and 15)...well, all in all, it's a clear Delete. I get it that some bollocks are notable - for example the Paul is dead insanity - and I am certainly willing to believe that this "event" should/could/might be worthy of inclusion on en-Wiki, but until this article is populated by more independent, reliable sources, it simply does not rise to encyclopedic status. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 17:02, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm coming around to see that apparently this is a big deal in Brazil. The Brazilian coverage is mostly of the tongue-in-cheek variety. That's too bad, because we can't build a neutral article on sources that don't bother with serious analysis or critique and just repeat claims taken at face value. Google Translate may be useful to weed out such sensational credulous sources from the article. Also the direct citations to fringe ufology books must go. One example of the moderately less sensational Brazilian coverage is [11]. Note that it explicitly concludes that the claims are debunked and this is all a myth. Not sure why our article lead doesn't reflect this. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:27, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep per Victor Lopes and Tercer. Notable myths are still notable, Wikipedia has a role here that will not be well-served by deletion. Feoffer (talk) 17:49, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. I'm from Brazil and can vouch for everything Victor Lopes has said. The "incident" is still culturally and historically significant within Brazil and Brazilian culture, and the historical coverage has always been at the level of mainstream media, not just "tabloids". The article would exist to report the repercussions of the event, whatever it was, and is as notable to Brazilian culture just as something like Roswell UFO incident or Rendlesham Forest incident, and arguably among the most famous such "incidents" in Brazil (together with Operação Prato, which also rightfully gets its own article). However, it is true that the current article has issues with citations, but this does not warrant its deletion. — LucasVB | Talk 21:22, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning delete Article doesn't demonstrate significant independent coverage of the subject. I tried to see it possibly meeting the criteria for media "significant publications in ethnic and other non-trivial niche markets", but a children's magazine specific to one church is more obscure than niche, IMO. Happy to change vote if someone can show non-Utah/LDS-based coverage or significant indepdent coverage in LDS world. I could see merging it with its similarly named predecessor, The Children's Friend, as an alternative to deletion. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 20:11, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @DiamondRemley39: In the state it is in, I would be fine with merging the two. Obscurity is NOT a valid reason for deletion (See WP:OBTOP). This is a magazine that has a circulation of probably around 1 million every single month. Just because a source is Utah or LDS-based, does not mean it is not a valid source. The Salt Lake Tribune is definitely a totally valid source and is independent of the LDS Church. Others sources independent from the LDS Church could also be found. Rather than overzealous deletion (WP:OZD), this article could easily be improved. Give me a couple days, and I can find a couple and add to it. Epachamo (talk) 02:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You misread and misconstrue. Please reread and reread again. I said I would change my vote if significant independent LDS coverage was found. It's being a magazine for children of one religious denomination is simply how it isn't meeting the criteria I provided; I never said the article should be deleted for that reason. The article as it is today should be deleted for its lack of notability, including its sig coverage. You quote the policy on obscure topics, so remember: "The key thing to look for is high-quality reliable sources." So far, I haven't been able to add anything high-quality, though. Maybe you will find something in a few days, but for now, with two deletes and one keep (which you might want to edit to align to policy), its notability is obscured at best. What we're seeing for a relatively modern publication is little sig coverage in reliable independent secondary sources. Not one of the articles cited focuses entirely on The Friend. The feminism article gives it several sentences. The interactive games article has a few paragraphs about it but also gives significant weight to other players; while that could still count towards notability, it is weak and it is only one. Where are you getting your figure of perhaps one million readers per month? Even if that signified, and I don't know that circ does, I only saw here: [1] that the combined circ of several titles for children and adults was 1.3 million per month 9 years back. The best coverage I've found is tertiary: an entry in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism. It's mentioned in directories like Writer's Market or some such, and while those can verify info so we can remove pesky CN tags, that's all. I mentioned coverage outside of Utah to show coverage beyond the geographic area of publication that already isn't cutting the mustard, but maybe there are more newspapers there that have covered it, and then by all means, add away. I mentioned non-LDS publications being beneficial because the sources have to be independent--perhaps the LDS church is like the Catholic church in that it has many nearly completely independently functioning organizations that write about similar topics, but as the magazine's homepage is at churchofjesuschrist.org/friend, coverage from the parent organization, sister publications, or other LDS bodies would lack an amount of independence. Look for significant coverage in academic journals that cover religion or children's publications, etc. Good luck! I'm an inclusionist and always like to see weak cases improved so that nomination concerns are addressed and so Wikipedia isn't a directory of everything being published. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 03:17, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the two articles for these magazines were so weak regarding notability and there was no reason to have two articles, so I went ahead and copied the content from the older title's article into the new and redirected in hopes that that would make the case for demonstrating notability easier. Maybe it will. It looks better and is more complete. Not changing my vote at present because I still don't see it passing notability. There is currently nothing about The Children's Friend from its founding through its renaming nearly 70 years later, and what there is in the past 48 years for The Friend shows that it existed and little else. More independent sources needed if it is indeed notable. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 12:03, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I appreciate the help adding to and editing the article. This deletion nomination reminds me of the WP:CFBWEST conversation. Look at that article and the sources used to justify its existence. I would argue that the growing list of sources in the Friend article are more independent and stronger than anything in that article, and the same reasoning for keeping that article would apply here. At this point sources come from The Salt Lake Tribune, Utah Historic Quarterly, Dialogue, Daily Herald, KSL, and KUTV. Also, the policy WP:NOTTEMPORARY, which establishes that notability is not temporary. If an article would have been notable in 1902, the fact that there wasn't much to say for 48 years does not change the fact that it was notable at one time. Epachamo (talk) 02:51, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Epachamo, I looked at the Walter J. West sources. Between that and your earlier comment about The Friend being just as notable as other LDS publications, it would behoove you to read WP:WAX. If you're going to compare it with other publications, and you shouldn't, consider Highlights or... what do kids read these days? No one said notability was temporary. What makes you think it was notable in 1902? The article's text doesn't back that up. I am usually a champion of old-time subjects, but this "growing list of sources" includes:
  • Stories about various LDS magazines, of which The Friend is but one, consolidating and publishing in more languages in the near future, is not significant coverage of this one magazine. Furthermore, it's coverage that spawned from a news release vs. coverage of something that has happened, though it is still secondary coverage.
  • Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought verifies the year the magazine changed names and that's it. We can find that elsewhere. That's not significant coverage, but more of a namecheck.
  • Omann's article in Utah Historical Quarterly is reliable, secondary, and independent, but it's about Louie B. Felt and May Anderson; they are already subjects of articles. The paragraph that most covers The Children's Friend says "The magazine was successful, financially and otherwise, and continues today as the Friend with nearly 200,000 subscribers in many different countries far from its Utah birthplace."
  • The Benson article is by and far the best source, as it mentions The Children's Friend more than just in passing, but it is just one piece of independent, reliable, significant secondary coverage. Benson's sources may have more; I can't comment on that because I haven't studied the scope of her article and how independent her sources are.
Also consider that much of the Origin section is already covered in the article on Primary and the founders of The Children's Friend; it has borderline WP:UNDUE weight on other parties. So focus on The Children's Friend rather than its founders or origins. Good luck! --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 16:06, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @DiamondRemley39:. My point with the WP:CFBWEST is that the reasoning for determining notability with that particular article are similar to this one. It was not a "..because we have Pokemon articles we can have anything" type argument. I disagree with the analysis of your sources. Particularly the Utah Historical Quarterly, which has much more than trivial, giving background information over several paragraphs for the need for a magazine. Benson's article is good, and cites a couple other books, that I am waiting for from Amazon. The best approach to this article is to improve vice delete. At the very least, it should be merged, but still, not deleted. Epachamo (talk) 20:25, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Look at that article and the sources used to justify its existence" is what I did. Referencing the West precedence here is a leap, so if you want to continue to discuss that, you may comment on my talk page or ping me on yours; there is no reason to clutter up this AfD with such a digression. I never said the Utah Historical Quarterly article was trivial. I will point out where my words are mischaracterized. Again, focus on this article, not all the other LDS magazine articles or other AfDs. I see someone else has added relevant information to the article. It is improving. That's good. It sounds like you need more time to develop an article that will pass AfD, which is fine of course. But what do you mean "improve vice delete"-- improve versus delete"? and what do you mean by "should be merged"? Merge suggestions need targets. What could it be merged to? Primary? --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 22:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I just added some sources on this publication being about to shift to an international, 48 language at least bi-monthly, publication. I believe there is also a substantial article in The Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History which could be used to add some substantial sourcing and information to this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:10, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The encyclopedia would have information (and there is another encyclopedia linked in the article in the external links), but encyclopedias are tertiary, not secondary, coverage. The three articles you provided about new languages are about the consolidation/new international focus of various LDS magazines; The Friend is mentioned as one of these but is not written about in particular except for a quote from a press release.

I have added material gleaned from the Encyclopedia of Latter-day Saint History article on The Friend. One should not assume too much from a name.

  • Keep Meets WP:NMEDIA. KidAd talk 06:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep With the additions from recent editors, the page passes notability guidelines. Its cultural significance is large enough that Peggy Fletcher Stack criticized a specific article in The Salt Lake Tribune. Full-paragraph mentions in Dialogue, Utah Historical Quarterly, and local newspapers can fulfill notability guidelines if we accept that as "substantial". There already exists a dearth of critical material for popular children's media, so I think those paragraphs are sufficient. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:59, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Recent additions of sources show that WP:NEXIST (I refer here to some seemingly good sources are cited in the cited material but not directly in the article), so I have stricken my above vote and change to Keep. Good work, everyone. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 23:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, given the improvements that have been made in direct response to issues raised earlier on in this discussion. Also, given this announcement that indicates that, as of next year, the Friend will be one of three magazines, standardized to be specifically for children worldwide. Presently, the Friend contains content for children, but the Liahona contains language-specific children's content in many languages currently, which will no longer be the case in 2021. Therefore, the article is relevant now, but will be moreso as of January of next year when it replaces the children's content typically found in the current Liahona for most foreign languages. There are other arguments I might have been tempted to make on this proposal before now, but given what has already been discussed above, these are the more relevant points I feel to make in offering my vote to keep the article as it is.

State historic society mentions a short-lived post office, but doesn't call it a community, although this article does call it a community based on that source. Too late of a foundation for the 1886 topo, but it's not on the 1939 topo. 1991 topo is a no-go, too. It suddenly appears on the 2011 topo, which is once things get copied from GNIS. By the 2017 topo, it's gone again. Google Maps doesn't take me to an exact spot, but gives me a zoomed out view of several miles worth of farmland and woods. All of the Google books hits seem to be for the Missouri campuses of Graceland University or various unrelated cemeteries in other parts of the state. While the SHS source doesn't explicitly state this was only a fourth-class post office eliminated by rural free delivery, the combined evidence of other sources strongly suggests this was not a community in the sense that it would pass WP:GEOLAND.

This article is about a non-notable middle school in a suburb of Athens, similar to hundreds of others. The original version was pretty much a list of the names of the teachers, created by a SPA. It survived a AfD nomination because of an apparent confusion with gymnasium which is a name used for some professional higher education institutions providing in some countries.

@Deepfriedokra: The "old" Greek Γυμνάσιο (Gymnasio) had 6 grades, and is usually translated as "high school" or "secondary school"; "modern" Greek Γυμνάσιο has 3 grades, and is translated as "middle school" (while "high school" is called Λύκειο [Lyceio] in Greek). ǁǁǁ ǁ Chalk19 (talk) 18:43, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Likely GNIS error. State historical society calls it a "small trading point" (read small store). It was founded in 1905, so no need to check the 1886 topo. 1939 topo only shows three buildings. Essentially the same on the 1991 topo. Google maps shows a couple farms with some outbuildings. WP:GEOLAND requires it to be a Populated, legally recognized places to get automatic notability, but the GNIS census code of U6 is for places without legal recognition. This book looks WP:SPS by the author, so it's not likely WP:RS. Namedrop here, but it's another SPS family history. Just a database entry there. It's a little sad this has to go, since I'm from a rural area, and know plenty of small towns kinda like this one, but it fails GEOLAND by not being legally recognized as a community and failing WP:GNG.

No. If is not sourced properly, then it will get deleted. Its an established article since 2011, so no excuses for not having a perfect set of sources. scope_creepTalk 10:36, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Irrelevant and dodging a reference. I will refer you to WP:NEXIST: Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article. It's not a coincidence that 100% of the respondents so far reject the proposal to delete the article. gidonb (talk) 13:31, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps if it was 2010 folk could get away with it, but not now. It is entirely unacceptable to have an article that doesn't have references. It also against the Wikipedia Terms of Use. Rolling the old trope of WP:NEXIST, particularly for an article that been on the go for an almost a decade, is also unacceptable. We are not reviewing it. scope_creepTalk 17:12, 17 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry to hear that you disagree with our guidelines! You continue to dodge a proper reference. Is it possible that because of contempt for guidelines, you refused to do a proper WP:BEFORE and even failed to read the sources you referred to yourself? Per WP:Editing policy Perfection is not required: Wikipedia is a work in progress. No interest either? This approach to the conventions that regulate our collaborative efforts is "refreshing" in a negative sense. gidonb (talk) 03:06, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't cut it dude. You are the only editor I've know with such jaundiced view of how Wikimedia works. The article is almost 10 years old. If there was references they would be present. scope_creepTalk 06:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. Most editors at Wikipedia care about our guidelines and policies. Care that a proper WP:BEFORE is done before AfDs. Would be surprised if a nominator had not examined the references in the article close enough to pass judgement on these. Keeping our policies and guidelines builds and preserves amity, the opposite of jaundice and my goal for this community! gidonb (talk) 13:41, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Don't bring up the WP:BEFORE thing, particularly since I do 100's of these Afd's every year. If you have references, throw them up so they can be examined. Some that passes WP:SIRS and WP:NCORP and asserts WP:V on the article. scope_creepTalk 15:10, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Since 2010 B Communications has just been a holding company whose sole purpose is to own a 30% interest in Bezeq (Bezeq is an independent company, not a subsidiary). From its EDGAR filings, you can see it was spun off from Internet Gold in 2007 and had only 4 to 5 employees. If it has notability-related sources, they would be in Israel. From what I can see, its only notability would come from getting peripherally involved in Case 4000 as this Times of Israel article explains and the sale to a private equity firm as explained in this article maclean (talk) 03:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Merge with Bezeq as suggested above appears to make the most sense. I am unable to locate any references (in any language) theat meets the criteria for establishing notabilty. On its own, topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing++ 13:15, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest deleting per notability. This is textbook WP:CRUFT. Virtually every reference in this article is drawn from forum posts, which are hardly appropriate sources, and they simply discuss trivia. The other sources are not better. At least one source (Cham) does not reference Mordenkainen in a significant sense and only establishes common knowledge (that the character was an invention of Gygax's). I cannot find substantial references to Mordenkainen per se in Google Scholar. I am a D&D fan and am aware that Mordenkainen is a well-known name within the game, but absent better references, I propose deleting. Geethree (talk)

  • Keep It seems to me the nomination criticises both that there are too many details and that the article is too general ("common knowledge"), wouldn't that be a contradiction? The sources be ENWorld and Boing Boing are both interviews, so even if the former's presentation in a forum may limit it for establishing notability, it directly gives the opinion of the creator, so it should be appropriate in that regard. If the source by Mizer gives only common knowledge (I don't think it does), why is that in a scholarly secondary source? That source has a few sentences more, about Mordenkainen exploring El Raja Key, which I think might be to detailed - but it is treated in a secondary source. Mordenkainen appears at least in a footnote in this thesis. The character is treated in Designers & Dragons, and in the online magazine Game Rant, both now in the article. It appears extensively at internet publisher BOLS. And again in detail in the book Wizards: The Myths, Legends, and Lore. Spells named after him appear in many sources about games. That together should satisfy notability. If all of that should not be considered enough, the topic should at the very least be merged, not deleted.

I believe you are talking about the current status of the article, but sources not yet in the article count for notability. At the very least the BOLS article and Wizards: The Myths, Legends, and Lore are in-depth. Daranios (talk) 06:16, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
First, Bols is not a reliable source, they are a shill for the gaming industry. I can't judge the other book, as I only see a portion of what's there. Hopefully it's a portion, if not, then it's little more than an extended blurb. The rest are simply mentions. Onel5969 TT me 12:48, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - The character seems perfectly summarized by Greyhawk#Significant player characters of the home campaign (character list is fine too). The sourcing is too weak for a full article. GameRank is listicle garbage. No site that puts 20+ lists in a single 24 hour period belongs in an article on this site. "Wizards: The Myths, Legends, and Lore" says all of nothing on the character. Other sources seem similarly sparse on real commentary. The core takeaway is that "the character is important," but not much is actually going into discussing it. The character should definitely be discussed, but it should be discussed as part of the larger topic at this time. TTN (talk) 22:32, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. There is an obvious redirect to Novara Media as an ATD. I haven't had a chance to look through the sources yet, but for a page that gets 3,400+ views per month we should consider the redirect if only as a service to our readers. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 13:30, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    AleatoryPonderings, I'm OK with that, but experience indicates that a redirect is likely to be challenged in the absence of unambiguous consensus on independent notability (this is, after all, the third creation). Guy (help! - typo?) 14:25, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Makes sense. After a look at the sources, I think Bastani is notable; I would take a redirect as a next-best option. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NAUTHOR #3. The significant or well-known work or collective body of work here is Novara Media and Fully Automated Luxury Communism. Novara is notable: doi:10.1007/978-3-030-00822-2_8, [16], [17]. And FALC is notable: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24]. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:03, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    AleatoryPonderings, and we have an article on that, and all coverage is in the context of that, which is why we deleted this twice before. As far as I can tell, it remains the case. Guy (help! - typo?) 16:31, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @JzG: We don't have an article on Fully Automated Luxury Communism. We have a redirect to Post-scarcity economy: Fully automated luxury communism. And AFAIK there's nothing to preclude having articles both on books/journalistic works and the author thereof, if both are notable. As a side note I might write an article on FALC (the book, not the concept) if I have time, but it appears that Bastani is notable based on Novara and FALC, per my thoughts above.

Support for non-deletion[edit]

Notability: Ken Segall is well known in the advertising field, has served as worldwide creative director for iconic global companies (Apple, Dell, IBM, NeXT, IBM), is responsible for key moments in Apple marketing history ("Think different" and the "i" strategy behind Apple product naming, and is a New York Times bestselling author. Google Ken Segall and you will find hundreds of interviews (internet and TV) and his books are reviewed. His early mentor in advertising Steve Hayden has a Wikipedia page with fewer accomplishments.

Passing reference: I removed the single reference to a living person, Patty Pravo, as Segall's musical partnership with her is 40 years in the past and I can find no corroborating articles.

New citations: I have added multiple citations, including Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, which confirm Segall's important contributions to the rebirth of Apple.

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what was found to be lacking in the article, so I hope I have revised sufficiently. If not, I would greatly appreciate any and all opinions!Mrylander (talk) 17:31, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. Being dean could be notable, but not through WP:PROF#C6, only through in-depth independent coverage of her sufficient to pass WP:GNG. Being an expert in intersectional feminism and the law could be notable through WP:PROF#C1, but only if her scholarship has made an impact through high citations or multiple book reviews, and I don't see it in this case (citation counts not high enough and a co-edited anthology is not going to be enough for WP:AUTHOR). Being a pioneer for diversity in the Canadian court system could be notable, but again, only through sufficient independent coverage to pass WP:GNG. Searching for her name finds a lot of not-very-in-depth not-very-independent pages from places she has been affiliated with, congratulating her on her moves to new administrative positions or congratulating themselves on hiring her. I don't think that counts for much. But I did find two in-depth articles on her in Diverse Issues in Higher Education (clearly independent and reliable): [25] [26]. Two articles in the same source is not enough for WP:GNG, and other sources like this one at Afro.com that are mostly based on one of the Diverse stories don't add much more. But if another story of similar quality could be found, from another of her career steps rather than being just another copy of the same material, and also not just churnalism copying of university press releases, I'd likely change to a weak keep. (If this is kept, it would be good to add that the book she co-edited is with her sister Charmaine Nelson, who I believe is notable, but I can only find non-reliable sources for them being sisters.) —David Eppstein (talk) 05:37, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, though entirely based on David Eppstein's very careful and thoughtful analysis. Our notability criteria are guidelines, not hard rules, so if someone (or some topic) just falls below several criteria then this should give pause for thought. Perhaps taking a broad view the topic is notable overall. However, I would take a much stricter line on whether the information is verifiable. Is the encyclopedia improved by having this article? I think it is. Thincat (talk) 08:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I found these:

I don't know how to evaluate these. The last url above I think swings it for a keep for me. One of her paper is referenced dozens of times in this article [33] I think it is probably a Keep for me. scope_creepTalk 10:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The last link is a press release from Columbia University listing people associated with the school who were named to a top-100 list published by media company 'On Being A Black Lawyer'; landing on these types of lists and press releases is not indicative of notability. The second, third, fourth, and sixth in the list are academic works published by the subject. Academic works are indicative of notability if they demonstrate the subject has made a significant impact in their field but I don't see an indication that is the case for those works. The first and third are announcements with very little depth, what I would characterize as non-significant, routine coverage. The National Law Review article doesn't indicate notability -- dozens of references doesn't mean a lot when they are all in the same paper. Paisarepa (talk) 17:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I welcome your input but please make it constructive and useful. Paisarepa 00:57, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
[edit conflict] I'm not Paisarepa, but here's my analysis of the sources in the current version:
1. University of Hawaii announcement. Not independent.
2 and 3. Different versions of a single brief Boston Globe story announcing her hire. At five sentences long, the last two of which say nothing of interest about Nelson, I question whether this is sufficiently in-depth to count for anything.
4. Contributor biography for a piece she wrote. Not independent.
5 and 8. Business Journal press-release churnalism. Not reliable.
6. Deadlink announcement by former employer. Not independent.
7. News story about Hawaii announcement. Independent, and more in-depth than the Globe piece, but still local.
9. Local interest story about a student excursion, not primarily about Nelson.
10. Employer announcement. Not independent.
11. One of the two Diverse pieces. Independent, reliable, non-local, and in-depth.
David Eppstein (talk) 00:59, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated. I agree with respect to the Diverse piece. The Boston Globe is obviously, reliable and independent, so the question is significance. The "Historic firsts" article is succinct, but I would find it to be enough to contribute to notability (although not establishing it independently). Regarding the Business Journal piece (I have consolidated this into a single reference), I am not convinced that this is churnalism; there does seem to be some effort on the part of the author to do real journalism here, as they note that Nelson at one point and the university at another gave "no explanation" for some things, and that the closure of a center associated with the law school "came as a surprise" to the family that funded it. I doubt that these are things that the institution would put in a self-promotional document. The article on the Cuba trip, while not primarily about Nelson, provides two fairly notable facts (the novelty of a person in her position traveling to Cuba, and her facilitation of the student visit), which I would contend contributes to notability. I would hang my hat on the sum of the sources other than the employer announcements. BD2412 T 01:52, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. She is notable. Those are two significant firsts. Her media mentions may be lean, but they do exist.

Comment: University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa is the institution. The subject was the dean of the William S. Richardson School of Law, which is a school within the university. This is how nearly every major university in the USA is set up and the difference between president of the university and dean of a school within that university is precisely the distinction WP:PROF clarifies in criteria #6. Paisarepa (talk) 03:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Law schools are a separate category of institution, as ABA accreditation rules require them to have substantial administrative independence from the universities with which they are affiliated. However, even if this institution were bound by the referenced explanation, it also provides for notability where the deanship is of a high-ranking institution. You should rather easily be able to confirm that Boston College Law School routinely ranks in the top 15-20% of law schools in the country, and is one of the most historic. This would be a notable deanship, even without the subject's unusual breadth of publications (which you have not addressed). BD2412 T 03:56, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:PROF #6. A deanship does not somehow become notable based on the ranking of the school or how 'historic' it is. If you believe the subject meets criteria #1 based on their publishing and that this is "trivially easy to confirm" then I invite you to confirm it. Paisarepa (talk) 04:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The provision you reference states "exceptions are possible on a case-by-case basis (e.g., being a Provost of a major university may sometimes qualify)". It can not reasonably be doubted that the ranking and notability of a major law school is insubstantial to this exception. As for their publications, it sounds like you are suggesting WP:BEFORE should have been done here. BD2412 T 04:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BEFORE was done. There is no need to get pointy, my nominating for deletion an article that you created is not a personal attack. My research indicated that the subject is fairly well-published and cited, but not significantly more so than typical academic within the field. I am simply asking to see what you say is 'trivially easy to confirm'; that's the purpose of this forum. Paisarepa (talk) 04:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not this ... again. Deans of law are not automatically notable, any more than deans of other disciplines are. There is no special exception for law. There never has been a special exception for law. You will have to argue on other grounds. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:33, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
We aren't in the 1800s here. We are not talking about "Deans of law" but about Deans of law schools. Yes, there was a time historically when a law dean was just a department head, like any other academic unit might have, but those days are long gone. By dint of the power of the ABA to confer accreditation, law school deans are required to have substantially greater autonomy and authority than academic deans generally (the other exception would be for medical school deans); furthermore, law schools are required to have their own independent physical facilities, law libraries, and various other services maintained independently of the university, all of which must fall under the authority of the Dean. Deans of larger law schools occupy a position of importance and authority at least equal to the president of a smaller college. A standard that is ignorant of this reality is just silly. BD2412 T 04:50, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bluster and tacking the word "school" at the end of the name of your thing-within-a-university to make it look impressive still fails to address the underlying falsity of your arguments. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:52, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Having taught both undergraduate classes in a university department with a dean within the university's academic structure, and at a law school, I have experienced the difference personally. I'm not sure what you are considering "false" here. Is it your position that the ABA does not, in fact, require universities to vest law school deans with a level of autonomy beyond what is typically required of university departments with deans? Are you contending that law schools in the United States are not, in fact, required to have separate facilities and libraries under the authority of that Dean?

It is my position that WP:PROF#C6 says "Lesser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient", that it makes no exception for law, and that your or my personal experiences or opinions as university instructors can have no effect on that plain and unambiguous wording. If someone is to be notable as a dean of law, it must be through some other notability criterion. It is also my position that you have previously and repeatedly tried to change the guideline to make law special, failed to achieve consensus to do so, and that there is some dishonesty involved in pretending that the change you wanted was made when in fact it was rejected [48] [49]. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:43, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I am surprised that you would bring up an eleven-year-old discussion for this point, though it is nice to see that you have remained consistent in declining to consider the evidence provided. You are, of course, always free to change your !vote below. BD2412 T 15:55, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your arguments throughout this discussion have been a series of straw men -- first, that law school deans are more autonomous than other deans when the real issue is if they are notable per Wikipedia guidelines, second, arguing that BEFORE wasn't done when the real issue is the existence of the information you claim is trivially easy to confirm (which is a straw man on top of a straw man, as 'well published' alone does not prove notability -- well-cited is what would need to be shown), and now the implication that an old discussion is useless when the real issue is that you are right now, in this discussion, pretending that the failed change was actually made. You're providing an awful lot of bluster but I would prefer you provide evidence of notability based on (actual) Wikipedia guidelines. Paisarepa 19:17, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would prefer that you comment on content, not on the contributor. That said, please re-review the article in light of the improvements that have been made since this nomination was initiated, per WP:HEY. In particular (but by no means exclusively), the following referenced articles contain substantial coverage of the subject:
  • Apgar, Sally (March 16, 2003). "Pay doubles for new UH dean: Aviam Soifer, chosen as head of the UH law school, will earn about $250,000"
  • Zachary R. Dowdy, "Professor named dean of BC law", The Boston Globe (May 2, 1993), p. 36.
  • Richard Chacón, "Law school dean at BC to resign; Departure of Soifer is unexpected", The Boston Globe (November 26, 1997), p. B7.
There are also numerous articles reporting, in some depth, specific aspects of his work on cases, causes, and theories. BD2412 T 21:55, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pointing out fallacy-based arguments in the present discussion is focusing on content. From the headlines it appears obvious those articles are routine coverage of the kind you see any time the dean of a notable school resigns or is appointed which does not improve the subject's notability. Regardless, I'll put some effort into digging up copies of them and will take a look at the rest of the changes to the article. Paisarepa 22:45, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:NOTROUTINE: "bear in mind that WP:ROUTINE is a subsection of the guideline Wikipedia:Notability (events) and therefore only applies to establishing notability about events. The primary guideline discussing notability of people is Wikipedia:Notability (people)". If this were an article on, e.g., Appointment of Aviam Soifer as dean of Boston College Law School, then WP:ROUTINE would apply. BD2412 T 22:57, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another straw man, once again to avoid acknowledging the fact that holding the position of dean is insufficient to fulfill the notability guidelines. The specific guideline WP:ROUTINE was never invoked or implied, nor would any reasonable, competent editor have assumed it was. Routine coverage is the opposite of significant coverage, and per WP:PROF, "Subjects of biographical articles on Wikipedia are required to be notable; that is significant, interesting, or unusual enough to be worthy of notice, as evidenced by being the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources." Being a dean does not fulfill the notability criteria, so routine coverage of the subject's gaining or leaving a deanship could not possibly be evidence of notability. We both know you are familiar with this criteria so please stop with the fallacies and off-topic diversions. Paisarepa 00:22, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I will explain this very carefully. The articles that discuss his selection to various deanships also discuss his scholarly and other activities, in sufficient depth to constitute significant coverage. I was under the impression that you were going to look at these sources. However, the Zachary R. Dowdy piece in particular describes the subject's origins, teaching history, and involvement in notable cases completely distinct from his deanships. Other sources cited in the article specifically discuss the subject's involvement in these matters unrelated to his deanship. BD2412 T 00:29, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Of course these announcements have additional information. You're in academia and I'm sure have read hundreds of these -- have you read a single one that didn't have additional information about the subject? I certainly never have. If the subject is notable for 'scholarly and other activities' then those other activities would have been the subject of significant coverage in independent, reliable, secondary sources. The fact that they are not, but rather are employed as filler material in routine announcements, does not help prove notability. Paisarepa 00:48, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I repeat: Other sources cited in the article specifically discuss the subject's involvement in these matters unrelated to his deanship. Other sources, meaning, not the sources that discuss their hiring for deanships and the like. For example, "Researcher finds articles on nuclear bomb secrets", Calgary Herald, (May 23, 1979), p. D-16; "Scientist discovers more H-bomb how-to manuals", The Miami News, (May 23, 1979), p. 2-A; both discussing Soifer's involvement in the Progressive case. Glenn Collins, "Understanding paternalism", Fort Worth Star-Telegram (October 22, 1981), p. 3C, via the New York Times News Service, discussing particular research project of Soifer's.

  • Keep per BD2412 and WP:NPROF. Dean of two law schools, author of notable book (I found three reviews), journal articles widely cited per Scholar [50]. (Note: not unusual that he published only one book—legal scholars often publish largely or exclusively in journals.) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. If the only case for notability were his dean position (clearly and obviously not enough for WP:PROF#C6 to anyone who actually pays attention to the wording of the guideline rather than trying to pretend that it says something different from what it actually says) or one book with three reviews, I would say delete. But I don't think law is typically a high-citation field, so six publications with over 100 citations in Google Scholar [52] looks like enough for WP:PROF#C1 to me, even though it doesn't even put him into the top 100 scholars of constitutional law listed by Google Scholar [53]. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Delete. Fails WP:NACADEMIC.--Esprit15d • talkcontribs 14:08, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Universities are organized into schools/colleges, and the dean of the law school doesn't meet WP:NPROF C6 any more than the dean of the school of literature science and arts does. However, the deanship certainly doesn't hurt notability; meanwhile the good number of papers with 100+ citations looks to me like C1, and I think that election to the American Law Institute might be C3. Combined with support from WP:NAUTHOR for a reviewed book, this looks like a solid keep case to me. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:32, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Election to the American Law Institute certainly helps, but a bunch of people are elected every month [54], so it is not highly selective. Number of citations is fine for WP:NPROF#C1. Deanship in a not particularly notable university makes the subject far from WP:NPROF#C6. Walwal20 talkcontribs 21:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Wikipedia's insistence on applying much more restrictive criteria to knowledge workers than to professional wrestlers is a prime example of institutional stupidity. Here, that stupidity is compounded by refusal to recognize that professional schools like Yale Drama, Harvard Divinity, Johns Hopkins Medicine, Stanford Law, etc, etc, etc should be regarded as "major academic institutions" on Wikipedia, just as they are regarded in the rational world.

Semi-advertorialized WP:AUTOBIO of a filmmaker, making even weaker notability claims and citing even weaker sourcing than his brother (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matt Campagna (2nd nomination)). This isn't even trying the "notability because of minor film festival awards" thing -- the strongest notability claim actually on offer here is that his work exists, which is not an automatic inclusion freebie in and of itself. And other than the same wire service article that's serving as his brother's only evidence of substantive media coverage (and one other dead link that was just a reprint of that same wire service article, and thus not a second data point), this is otherwise referenced entirely to his own self-published primary source content about himself rather than reliably sourced evidence that he would pass WP:GNG.

Matt Campagna[edit]

Semi-advertorialized WP:AUTOBIO of a filmmaker, not making any strong claim to passage of WP:CREATIVE or citing any particularly strong reliable sources to secure notability per WP:GNG. The most visible attempt at a notability claim here is that one of his films won a minor "Best Short Film" award at a science fiction convention -- but "notable because award" for a filmmaker requires important awards on the order of the Oscars or the BAFTAs or the Canadian Screen Awards that get media coverage, not just any small fry film award that can be "referenced" solely to its own self-published content about itself because real media journalism about the award ceremony is non-existent. And other than that, this is firmly in "notable because his work exists" territory, which still requires real sources. But the referencing here is almost entirely to directly affiliated primary sources -- the only real media references shown at all are a dead link that never actually provided the proper citation details in order for us to retrieve it and verify what it did or didn't say; one short blurb in a magazine which namechecks his existence without being about him to any non-trivial degree; and one wire service article which isn't enough all by itself if it's the only substantive source on offer. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this.
Note that Wikipedia's notability and sourcing standards have been tightened up considerably in the past decade, precisely because the standards of the early 2010s left us too vulnerable to spammy self-promotion — so the fact that the first discussion closed as a "keep" is not a permanent injunction against reconsidering it now. Consensus can change, after all. Bearcat (talk) 01:46, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
