The Take (Sydney band)[edit]

Delete per nom. None of the references are IRS. I couldn't find any suitable articles or mentions via a ProQuest database search of Australian and New Zealand newspapers. One article returned in a Google search from The Daily Telegraph looks promising, but it's behind a firewall and I couldn't get to it to investigate further. In any event, one article doesn't satisfy GNG. Cabrils (talk) 03:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep See no reason to delete. Subject has interesting background particularly considering his role in founding and leading multi-religion multi-ethnic center in Lis Angeles. See no reason to delete. Widely considered leading contemporary Jewish artists. Music on Amazon, iTunes , YouTube and website Craignco.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EK118 (talk • contribs) 07:32, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete So... The subject has all of their music on sites that have absolutely no barrier for entry and on his personal website? Being "interesting" does not equal notability and the sourcing does not establish notability. This was likely an autobio as the creator was User:Craignco, who was later blocked for promotional edits. Quite frankly, this vanity page should have been speedy deleted years ago. Best, GPL93 (talk) 14:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO as there are currently no reliable sources. I found two articles, one from the LA Times about his work at the Pico Union Project and one from the St Louis Dispatch about his music career, but I do not think this establishes notability.

Stéphane Masala[edit]

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

Starting a discussion at request of User:Paul Vaurie on WT:FOOTY. The concern is that the subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFOOTBALL. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:52, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral: if there is no exception for cup finals for WP:NFOOTY, then this fails WP:NFOOTY. The second question is if this article meets GNG or not. Personally, I'm not sure.
Change to keep. Passes GNG. Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. I am surprised there isn't any in-depth coverage given their achievements, but the Cup final aspect does not confer automatic notability. Giant Snowman 11:29, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'd say there's enough subject-specific coverage to meet GNG. There's obviously a lot of stuff around the cup run, particularly ahead of the final, but a fair bit does focus on Masala himself, e.g.: [1] in Le Figaro hung on the fact that the club had to pay a fine of €1170 each match because he didn't have the qualifications required to manage in the Championnat, [2] a lengthy interview in Le Parisien, [3] in Goal.com with input from different figures in his past, [4] piece hung on his history as former captain of US Orléans in the regional daily La République du Centre. There's also stuff from his playing days, e.g [5] interview-based piece in the same newspaper from 2013 ahead of his first return to Orléans as a player after 8 years away.

As an aside, Google is truly awful these days. It appears to only supply the first result it comes across for any given domain, and you have to guess whether it'd be worthwhile to do a site-specific search on each individual site. In the relatively recent past, I've done decent-ish research on French players using Google, e.g Franck Julienne, Pierre Lemonnier, but I don't think I'd have the stamina now. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:38, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I agree with Struway2 that there is enough coverage out there, even when limited to online sources. Excellent finds. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 14:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The sources found by Struway2 demonstrate that there is sufficient coverage of Masala to pass GNG. Microwave Anarchist (talk) 15:42, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the sources above, appears to pass WP:GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:58, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails GNG and NFOOTBALL. Giant Snowman 11:28, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify - given that he doesn't yet meet GNG or NFOOTBALL, the article shouldn't be kept but there is a fair chance that he may debut for DC United or Trinidad soon so, for that reason, I'd support draftifying Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify - though I believe Michael DeShields is notable in some aspects I do concede that while looking up information on him I have not found him to have played in a professional-level competition or international match yet, which I believe is Wikipedia's threshold for "notability" for a soccer/football player. So I can get behind holding off for now but bring it back if he does play a pro-level match. Pushpaizol (talk) 05:07, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, meets both NCOLLEGE and WP:NFOOTBALL through non-routine coverage and sources. Quidster4040 (talk) 07:11, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- He meets neither. And I assume you meant WP:NCOLLATH which he also fails if you actually read the criteria. --BlameRuiner (talk) 07:16, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Does not yet meet any WP notability criteria. He may well meet at least WP:NFOOTY soon, but he may not. I would lean towards temporarily leaving a draft copy somewhere instead of complete removal of the article. Papaursa (talk) 23:45, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond Valkyrie: Dawn of the 4th Reich[edit]

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

This article about a film is built on IMDb references. While searching for sources, I have found this piece by IndieWire and a review by a blog called "The War Movie Buff". These are not enough to meet the two professional reviews asked for by WP:NFO. So, I'd say the article should be deleted for failing WP:GNG and WP:NFILM.

Also here [[8]], [[9]]. Kolma8 (talk) 08:22, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding these sources. There seem to have been more reviews than I had originally thought. I believe it still doesn't meet the "reviews by two or more nationally known critics". I'd need something that clearly exceeds the level of a blog to say otherwise. Modussiccandi (talk) 09:46, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning to delete -- Such works are a variety of non-history, because they tend to be a fictional account of what the writer wished should happen. Counter-factual studies are a legitimate technique for elucidating why what happened did happen, but plain fiction such as this is not. The simple answer to this is that we cannot have an article on every book or film. This (at present) is merely a synopsis, not even a review or something summarising reviews. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Livonia High School (New York)[edit]

Non-notable school; fails the GNG. De-prodded on the questionable basis that the deletion of American secondary schools "will never be uncontroversial". The only sources provided are the school's website, which isn't independent, and an entry in a government database, which isn't secondary.

Support No indication of notability. Just existing is not enough. Fails WP:GNG. The Banner talk 22:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral or Merge From the original author. Back in 2013 when I created this article, I was trying to flesh out articles about Secondary Schools in New York State. Back then, articles about Secondary Schools had an automatic right to exist. This was before the 2017 decision that went the other way. See bullet point 3 under WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. So anyhow, I got an Excel Spreadsheet of all the Secondary Schools in New York State and went through the list, county by county, and started improving or creating them as stubs. Now, eight years later, no one has found anything notable about this school and the standards have changed. So if it no longer belongs as a stand-alone article, maybe it should go away. On the other hand, rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater, perhaps this article can become a section within the article about the Town where it is located, Livonia, New York. Arg342 (talk) 13:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we have come to realize that secondary schools are not default notable when we consider this on a global scale. The sourcing here is not enough to actually pass GNG.

The result was no consensus. We've been through three relists and there isn't consensus about how to apply SNGs to this article, let alone the broader contention of SNGs vs GNG (especially in the case of NCORP). At this point people are a little ornery and talking past each other and there are a lot of options on the table (keep, merge, redirect, delete) and I just don't see a consensus to be had.

  According to this article, the InterContinental Miami was opened in 1982 as the Pavilion Hotel.
  The Miami Herald article includes analysis from an "uninvolved hotel expert", Chase Burritt of Laventhol & Horwath, Coral Gables certified public accountants. The article notes:
  Burritt pointed out that despite its top-of-the-line luxury, Pavilion must compete for such travelers with downtown's new Hyatt, as well as hotels on Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove. "We project demand to grow strongly in 1983," he said, "but not at such a pace that will allow all the hotels to get the kinds of occupancies they'd like." In partial concession to that reality, the Pavilion will open with just 200 of its 636 hotel rooms and two of its seven restaurants, phasing in the rest during the next few months.

Delete I'll keep this short due to the already massive wall of text above that took forever to get through. The hotel receives promotional advertising in some reliable sources. It also receives some local and regional coverage. That does not equate to enough to deem the hotel as notable as per WP:N. --ARoseWolf (Talk) 18:51, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: InterContinental Miami is located in Miami, Florida. The hotel received international coverage in a detailed review in The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. It received multiple articles in the national source USA Today. It received coverage in the regional newspapers the Miami Herald and the Sun-Sentinel and the local newspaper The Miami News. InterContinental Miami was covered over a period of decades in 1982, 1985, 1986, 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016. There are numerous other articles about the hotel in Newspapers.com (search with current name and search with former name) that I have not listed here.
From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Audience:
The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
The hotel has received sustained substantial coverage in international, national, and regional sources. This strongly establishes notability according to the guideline.
I disagree that the sources are advertising. Many of the sources covered the hotel's financial difficulties which led to its getting sold.
Venus Williams and her design firm worked on the hotel's remodel. President Ronald Reagan, President Barack Obama, Sharon Stone, Bernadette Peters, and Natalie Cole have visited the hotel. The Miami Herald called it "once the biggest and best upscale hotel in downtown Miami". A Miami Herald articles included analysis about the hotel from an "uninvolved hotel expert". InterContinental Miami has been the host for over a quarter-century of the Orange Drop on New Year's Eve which is Miami's version of the Times Square Ball Drop and receives substantial media coverage.

Reply: The above provides no sources to backup their claims. Just a mini wall of text with wikilinks and two search lists. The first wall of text shows mentions in announcements, famous guests, routine events, promos, etc are not SIGCOV, this can be seen from the sources you link to. The wikilinks you place above are not SIGCOV. The search result pages do not show SIGCOV. They do not address the subject directly and indepth. No sources showing the subject meets NBUILD, no sources showing the subject meets ORGCRIT. // Timothy :: t | c | a 10:45, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per User:Cunard. For example, this one of the sources provided by Cunard is substantial coverage. Deletionist objections seem obstinate, inappropriate, like their minds were made up before any research done or arguments made. --Doncram (talk) 06:24, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- From my reading, that article relies entirely on quotations from company execs and an anonymous source and information provided by the company. The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations as per WP:NCORP is for multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Can you point to any original/independent opinion/analysis/investigation attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject? Perhaps you'd review both our guidelines and the references again and see if you can understand why some !voted for Deletion. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be saying that source is a press release, or equivalent. No it is an article with a reporter's byline, with reporter's and the The Miami News' reputation behind it. It presents mostly clearly factual stuff, of regular newsworthy variety, and refers to an unnamed source providing context. Does not appear to be written by the company, at all, as comment implies. --Doncram (talk) 23:24, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also I see below, User:HighKing, that you question assertion of notability, related to meeting wp:NBUILD. The facts of greater than 100 m height, 35 stories, 641 hotel rooms, and maybe also it having been designed by "noted architect Pietro Belluschi" are all assertions of importance. I happen to have worked on many articles about far smaller, less economically important hotels.

Also, hotels are more public than other buildings of their size, have more importance in a way, and have more coverage including ratings and tourist guidebooks and so on, see wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION (essay to which i contributed) for more general view about that.--Doncram (talk) 23:31, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Doncram, I've very little experience with NBUILD. If you're satisfied it passes NBUILD, fine by me. I'm only looking at it through NCORP guidelines and it doesn't meet those notability guidelines. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:05, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to InterContinental Hotels Group as an alternativve to deletion or Delete as not a single reference meets the criteria for establishing notability as per WP:NCORP. Of the four references listed above: this from Miami News relies entirely on quotations from company executives, an "anonymous source" and information available on the company website. It does not contain and independent opinion/analysis/etc and therefore fails WP:ORGIND. This 2nd clipping also from Miami News is entirely based on an interview with the property developer and fails WP:ORGIND for the same reasons as above. This next also from Miami News is an article on Gould's business troubles and this hotel gets nothing more than a mention-in-passing, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Finally the last is also from Miami News and is a short article on construction progress, also fails WP:CORPDEPTH. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:42, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am judging this by WP:NBUILD not WP:NCORP. It's a notable landmark building and the depth of coverage doesn't need to meet the rigors of WP:CORPDETH, simply that required by WP:SIGCOV i.e. more than a trivial mention but need not be the main topic of the source material. ----Pontificalibus 13:33, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how it passes NBUILD either. It doesn't have the status of cultural or national heritage so that only leaves a commercial building which has some significance. What's its significance exactly? There's no mention of "significance" of any sort in the article so its a little weird that you say that you're evaluating this topic on NBUILD.

Keep I have improved this article and added more content and sources. There are more sources out there not added as user:Cunrad has stated. IMO, this is a popular location that deserves a stand alone page and it meets WP:GNG. (Side note: I actually tried to close this one, but made a mistake to close it as KEEP rather than NO CONSENSUS and it was reverted. It was my first time doing a few of these and I didn't realize my mistakes.

Comment The reasoning that you're provided is this is a popular location that deserves a stand alone page and it meets WP:GNG. First off, being a "popular location" is not a reason. Second, "deserves a stand along page" is not a reason. Finally, you say it "meets WP:GNG" whereas relevant SNGs exist such as NCORP and NBUILD so passing GNG is insufficient when an SNG exists. HighKing⁺⁺ 11:25, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

User:HighKing is dead wrong in saying that wp:GNG does not govern. If a topic meets wp:GNG it can have an article, period. Other notability guidelines are meant to be helpful in reasoning about likelihood of sources existing, etc. --Doncram (talk) 23:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Doncram, a recent RFC (about to be closed but not closed yet) to decide wording to describe *current* practice says very clearly that the requirements in NCORP are the ones applicable for determining which sources may be used to establish notability when the topic falls under the NCORP SNG criteria. Perhaps you'll now review your !vote seeing as how it is based on an inaccurate understanding of our guidelines? HighKing⁺⁺ 14:23, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You conveniently ignored my policy based arguments and pointed out the extra comments I posted. So ignore my extra comments and go with my policy comments. I am also not the only one voting KEEP on this. As I stated there are good arguments made by Cunard, so that is why I voted keep. IMO, it meets WP:GNG Expertwikiguy (talk) 08:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Really? You made "policy based" arguments? Can you point them out? HighKing⁺⁺ 12:24, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they pointed out it meets wp:GNG, which is policy. HighKing is wrong that wp:GNG is not the most important thing. --Doncram (talk) 23:59, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You seem very sure I'm wrong ... and yet ... it seems I'm not. Also, just FYI, GNG is not "policy" - the hint is in the letters in GNG represent. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:23, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am sure you're wrong. I am not going to be distracted by some current RFC proposing some change (while quick review doesn't suggest it is anything radical, to me). Fundamentally, wp:GNG governs. From the wp:Notability guideline, subject-specific notability guides "are considered shortcuts to meeting the general notability guideline':

These subject-specific notability guidelines are generally derived based on verifiable criteria due to accomplishment or recognition in that field that either in-depth, independent sourcing likely exists for that topic but may take time and effort to locate (such as print works in libraries local to the topic), or that sourcing will likely be written for the topic in the future due to the strength of accomplishment (such as winning a Nobel prize). Thus, we allow for the standalone article on the presumption that meeting the SNG criteria will guarantee the existence or creation of enough coverage to meet GNG.

Fine, both GNG and subject-specific notability guidelines are "just" guidelines. I guess there is no "policy" anywhere; "guidelines" (with clear hierarchy that GNG > subject-specific stuff) are the highest level stuff available, and I am glad Expertwikiguy is paying attention there. --Doncram (talk) 16:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, you're still wrong. But hey, I love the way you're not going to be distracted by a lil ol' RfC which is deciding on the wording to replace the words you're referring to because the words you're referring to were added by an admin without consensus. Your notion that all SNGs are "subservient" to the GNG is dead wrong (to use your own words) - I mean, there were SNGs around well before the GNG was even a thought in people's heads. At least we've received clarity that you're not really applying guidelines, just your own (ill-informed) opinion on what you hope is in the guidelines.

NCORP doesn't matter. Meeting GNG suffices. HighKing disagrees, I disagree with them. Anyhow, this is a significant building / public attraction / hotel / geographical feature / feature of internet and offline tourist guides etc. As I said about some other building complex before, the movement of materials in construction of this was big enough to affect the rotation of the earth, and the building and people in it have measurable effect on the earth's gravitational field in that area. --Doncram (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NCORP is the applicable guideline for companies/organizations and (surprise!) it does matter. Maybe to you it doesn't, maybe because you don't understand how to apply the guidelines, maybe because it shows how the topic fails. Fine. You do you. Everyone else will follow the actual applicable guidelines. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:21, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NCORP is obviously not the right the guideline - the article does not say "InterContinental Miami is a hotel business operating out of the former Pavillon Hotel building on Miami waterforont" or "the business invest $30 million in upgrading the building". No, it says stuff like "Designed in 1982 by noted architect Pietro Belluschi" and "Height: 366ft" and "The InterContinental as seen from Bayfront Park"...all staetements than can only be applied to buildings and not hotel operating companies.----Pontificalibus 15:22, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure. And that's why has has the "IHG Hotels and Resorts" banner at the bottom listing all of IHG's purportedly "notable" hotels. Sure. And that's why the word "hotel" is interchangable with the word "building" and not at all associated with a commercial profit-making business. Sure....

I believe that the reasons I gave in the earlier AfD back in June. that was closed with no consensus, are still valid; "Does not meet WP:ORG. This just tells about the organization and what it does much like a brochure put out by the organization would. The sources given are not significant coverage in independent reliable sources; one is an interview with the leader of the organization, two others simply cite factual information, and the Library source is just a link to its website. This has gone back and forth between draft and main space with the creator moving it to mainspace twice. The creator(who validly changed their username) states that they are a supporter of the organization though not associated with it and wants to spread the word about what they do. Helping people vote is a worthy cause, but Wikipedia is not for telling the world about worthy causes."

Each recommendation received from wiki editors/moderators are understood and adjustments are continually made to meet guidelines. The Govotemiami page exceeds the expectations and requirements when compared to many other wiki pages previously mentioned which are not under attack like this govotemiami wiki page. Aggressively targeting govotemimai wiki page for deletion displays a bias as other wiki pages who are in clear violation of wiki terms/guidelines are allowed, approved, and receiving a pass on their self-promotion, providing false information, and no relevant cites. While researching wikipedia to better understand why this article is selected for deletion, I came across several articles on the internet about wikipedia being systemic bias along gender, racial, political and national related topics / articles and this seems to be the situation with this article as previously pointed out other political and causes wikipedia is selectively permitting to violate guidelines while targeting govotemiami.

The GoVoteMiami article presents a 1) neutrally written summary of existing mainstream knowledge 2) in a fair and accurate manner with a straightforward, "just-the-facts style". 3) is not argumentative, promotional or opinionated writing. Independent sources have been added and primary sources or suggested primary sources including items which may have appeared promotional have been removed. Current Sources and cites include 1) Independent of the subject 2) Reliable 3) Verifiable according to the Wikipedia, General notability guidelines. Cites and sources are Independent sources based on Wikipedia guidelines. An extreme effort has been made to follow the wikipedia guidelines for publishing the article. Any sources which wiki editors believed to be a primary source or promotional has been removed. This is not a paid or promotional article. It focus on facts and verifiable information. This article meets the same guidelines and standards as other non-profits which are and have been active articles on Wikipedia for years. This article should not be deleted because of a Wikipedia volunteers bias regarding non-profits, elections and opinion of voting in America or due to party affiliation in Florida. This article is a about a bipartisan, Non-Profit, written without author opinion solely based on facts. As author, I hope wikipedia volunteers are able to also have an unbiased approach.

Wikipedia has over 6 million articles and only several thousand regular contributors and in the whole mess of inappropriate and non-compliant wikipedia articles within the 6 million, this article is aggressively being targeted for deletion even though I am working hard to comply, follow guidelines, and make adjustments based on editor/mod feedback and comments.

Keep meets NPOL as a nationwide elected official. Cabinet members are inherently notable. Besides, there are many local sources available via a quick Google News source. This source describes him as a MP.--User:Namiba 20:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source you just provided above is unreliable as they lack editorial oversight. Could you be so kind as to provide to this AFD at least three reliable sources that proves he is notable? The source even used in the article boldly states that it is a press release so I’m not sure what you are talking about. The criterion(SNG) for politicians are well outlined in NPOL & he clearly doesn’t satisfy any of the two criteria & lastly he wasn’t voted in he was given a ministerial appointment. Celestina007 (talk) 20:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would disagree that the source of the article is unreliable. It is the official website of the government of Botswana, which determines the cabinet members. It surely is primary and secondary sources are preferable. However, a cabinet member of a national cabinet passes WP:NPOL ("The following are presumed to be notable: Politicians (...) who have held (...) national (...) office"), so Keep. - Tristan Surtel (talk) 21:07, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tristan Surtel, yes, you are correct my friend but bare in mind that NPOL states that they are “presumed” to be notable & not “guaranteed” to be notable. A google search of him shows they aren’t notable as they lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them. Celestina007 (talk) 21:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a misinterpretation of the use of "presumption" in NPOL ... it's as in the presumption of innocence, the burden is to prove otherwise. A simple check of the Botswana Parliament website shows he's an MP. --Goldsztajn (talk) 05:57, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ministers are also MP's excluding those specially elected by the president. See the document referenced on the article.DownTownRich (talk) 20:26, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This meets NPOL because this a a minister and a politician who will be serving for the next four year. This article is part of information about Botswana which is highly missing from Wikipedia because the media here publish mostly using print. See other articles similar to Tumiso Rakgare -> Mpho Balopi, Peggy Serame, Kenneth Matambo, Thapelo Matsheka. You find out most editors might have information to add but there are no references which is key to Wikipedia that is why you find these articles at a minimum.

Keep. Yes, the article needs improvement — but he clearly holds an WP:NPOL-passing role.

Redirect - article at hand fails WP:GNG, and the above mentioned project notability guideline for songs. BEFORE shows nothing better. Pro tip for the article creator: interviews with the artist do not show notability for either himself or his work. At best, WP:TOOSOON.

Delete. What is so special about the centre of Canada compared with anywhere else? (Clue: nothing whatsoever) If this article is justified then there needs to be 194 companion articles (as of January 2021^[update]) for the centre of every other country on the planet (for consistency, of course). 109.155.148.247 (talk) 14:27, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there aren't exactly 194 yet — but per Category:Geographical centres, there aren't "none", either. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. I'm definitely not convinced that this is really necessary as a standalone article, and agree that it would be much better handled as a few lines in a more general Canadian geography article, but there are numerous comparable examples for other countries in Category:Geographical centres — and after having perused them, I can state categorically that very, very few of those articles are in any better shape, or show much stronger evidence of "significance", or have much better referencing to support them, than this. So while I'd support a consensus that they're almost all unnecessary and poorly referenced, and could almost all do with being merged into broader geography articles rather than continuing to stand alone anymore, I can't support singling the Canadian version out as somehow uniquely less notable than the others. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of extreme points of Canada. Looking at the other articles in the category, most have a monument of some sort at the location, so it could be considered an article about that rather than just the geographic point. This does have a sign board, but a merge is still quite reasonable. Reywas92^Talk 20:22, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The nomination doesn't seem to understand the concept as "Everything has a centre" misrepresents the issue. There are a variety of ways of determining the centre and the page in question lists a selection of these for Canada, which appear to be based on expert work done by others. The rest seems to be WP:UNENCYC which is a personal opinion and argument to avoid. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment by nominator This encyclopedia is supposed to be about notable items. Having been to the sign currently depicted in the article, I am confident that the article has not overstated the notability of the latitudinal centre of Canada, at any rate; there is nothing observable about this area that makes it more notable than any other wheat field between Thunder Bay and Calgary. An arbitrary mathematical operation carried on on arbitrarily chosen points does not make for notability. I doubt the other "centres" of Canada re any more notable. This sign isn't even in the right spot, according to some. --Wtshymanski (talk) 01:09, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but I would favour a subsequent merge to List of extreme points of Canada, subject to editorial consensus. AFD is a very poor forum for constructive editing so I do not think AFD should mandate any particular merge. In my view there is no need to alter the title of the target. Keep the redirect so it can remain in Category:Geographical centres. Every country has a capital but that does not mean we should reduce information about capitals to a single line. The solution to the problem of some countries not yet having centroid information is to add the information, not to delete what we already have. It is not true that "this encyclopedia is supposed to be about notable items". Each article should be about a notable topic and other other information may be included in articles on broader topics. Thincat (talk) 12:16, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Although certain keep (or keep-equivalent) participation does not seem clearly policy based, the current 3-way split makes closing currently not warranted.

Tentative Keep as the book (or the chain of events itself) looks to be notable. There may not be ready references available online as it happened in 1980s India. However, the article contains important information and I cannot think of a reason to delete it. The book seems to be there in quite a few libraries. Although religious conflicts are common in India, it is relatively uncommon in West Bengal compared to other states. This book/event seems to be a contrary example. At the moment, I would prefer to keep the article. Edit: I found a reference. There is also a mention here, but I cannot download the pdf.--DreamLinker (talk) 00:19, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Honeysuckle, Kentucky[edit]

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

I have absolutely no idea how we handle this sort of situation against WP:GEOLAND, so this is really a test nomination more than anything. I can see a case for this both to be kept and deleted, and this nomination is just out here to test to see what consensus for this sort of place is.

In this case, both the GNIS entry for the community and for the post office are sourced to Rennick's Kentucky place names field work. However, Rennick describes Honeysuckle as a post office in Charlie Marshall's store and states that it was only a post office, no accompanying community. Rennick does say that the Honeysuckle post office served a pretty broad area. I ran a further WP:BEFORE, and found a number of passing mentions of Honeysuckle, a few references to the C. G. Marshall store at Honeysuckle, and a number of references to people being "of" Honeysuckle. I also found official post office publications that say that postmaster Marshall was paid about $17 in 1894 but over $31 in 1897. However, all of these references are only passing mentions, and don't describe anything besides the store actually being at Honeysuckle. Topos go back to the 1920s and show a loose scatter of buildings throughout a wide area, but no cluster indicative of a community and the name Honeysuckle never appears on the maps. So the only source actually describing Honeysuckle I've been able to find describes it as a loosely-defined area around a post office in somebody's store. But the number of passing mentions indicates that there was evidently a Honeysuckle area. From all indications, this was not a community proper, but a loosely defined neighborhood served by a post office in somebody's store.

WP:GEOLAND is one of the vaguer SNGs. I can see a case for this to be kept, and I can see a case where this is ruled to fail WP:GEOLAND as well. My indication is to think that this doesn't qualify as a legally recognized populated place per GEOLAND #1, but rather more as a loosely defined neighborhood. GEOLAND does not give clear guidance on edge cases like this, so I think it's good to establish some sort of precedent on how we handle these. I don't think WP:GNG is met, as Rennick's single paragraph is the only thing that probably falls under significant coverage, as the other mentions are really passing.

Fort John, California[edit]

Fails WP:GEOLAND as it is not a legally-recognised settlement, or a WP:GNG-passing non-legally recognised settlement.

Comment - Described here as an "early and populous town" although it was evidently unlocatable and barely known by 1947. This calls it a combined church and schoolhouse. Hog Farm _Talk 19:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's notable that that article is entirely concerned with failing to find it, and that some of the people consulted haven't even heard of it. The second article doesn't rise to the level of WP:SIGCOV as it's a bare mention. Still a WP:GEOLAND fail. FOARP (talk) 20:01, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm inclined to view this as probably non-notable. I'll finish up my sourcing search later, but it's not looking promising. Hog Farm _Talk 20:33, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even when in searching a 19th-century Amador County history I found online, there was no significant coverage of this place. Most of the coverage I could find was related to a structure near Fort Laramie in Wyoming. There just doesn't seem to be enough significant coverage of this place to support an article. As discussed above, one of the two sources linked above is not significant coverage, and the other is simply about the location of Fort John being unfindable. Hog Farm _Talk 22:23, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I added some sources. It is referenced in works on Amador County history. It was briefly populated around 1850-51, with some mining occurring later in the decade. Also found references in 1850s Amador County newspapers. Note: Amador wasn't created until 1854, so there may be more sources referencing it in Calaveras County. Definitely was a recognized populated community, albeit briefly.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So I guess flip me to Not sure, leaning keep given Milowent's new references? There's no evidence here that it was legally recognised (that would require incorporation) and the fact that it is described as only having been inhabited a year really makes me think it was just a camp. But the number of references and the length of some of them makes me think it might be a WP:GNG pass all the same, and hence a WP:GEOLAND pass. The creator described lots of places as being settlements which weren't, but this doesn't mean that all of them weren't settlements and I congratulate Milowent on their excellent research. FOARP (talk) 11:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reconsidering, FOARP. I enjoy some of these geography AFDs as a challenge, and I can appreciate why it was nominated in the form it was in before.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:22, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Satisfies WP:GEOLAND as a legally recognized populated place. Note that there is no consensus whatsoever as to the meaning of "legally recognized" in that guideline - it could range from "not an illegal encampment" to "a fully chartered town". However it's clear form the articles we keep on unincorporated communities that having recognition in official sources such as maps that the places is an established settlement is sufficient for us to have an article on it. Anyway, regardless of this argument the current sourcing in the article satisfies WP:GNG.----Pontificalibus 09:01, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"legal recognition" clearly means "recognised by law". There are only a few ways in which a community can actually be recognised by law (i.e., have a law passed recognising them) and incorporation/chartering is the obvious one. Saying "legal recognition" means "not illegal" is clearly a stretch. All the same I don't disagree about WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 18:50, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The non-notable places we have been rightly deleting that might seem similar to this are places which never were inhabited by a community: isolated ranches, railroad sidings, undefinable names on a map, temporary post offices, and the like. This was an actual village. If it was inhabitedt oday, there would be no question but thatwe would keep it. Once notable, always notable , because WP is a permanent encyclopedia .
Keep. Sources now present in the article (which, admittedly, may have been added after this AFD opened) demonstrate significant coverage of the location.

Comment The New York Times obituary appears to be a listing paid for by the family, but the Dallas Morning News one seems not [26]. And wiki-notability would not be based on his death, but on his career, per WP:PROF. A Google Scholar search finds at least six publications by him with triple-digit citation counts, so a WP:PROF#C1 pass looks possible. XOR'easter (talk) 19:02, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, while the article creator was blocked for UPE, I'm not sure whether the UPE extended to this article (the discussions leading up to the block seem to be about other things). Perhaps the blocking admin Bilby can weigh in. XOR'easter (talk) 19:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hi. Sorry, but yes - this article was also UPE. The job ad was posted on 19 January. I didn;t focus on this one, though, as my focus was on the medical material that the editor was being paid to post. - Bilby (talk) 23:52, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks for clarifying! From the User Talk page, I couldn't tell one way or the other. XOR'easter (talk) 00:26, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This is absolutely WP:NOTBLP1E and probably one of the stranger 1E claims I've seen; "obituary as source" does not mean "notable only for death" (obituaries serve as quite a convenient summary of professional and biographical information). Clear NPROF pass. The origin of the article being unfortunate doesn't spell its end. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cupper52. Steam5 (talk) 05:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I would say he does not pass PROF C1 due to his below-average credentials in the context of a very high-citation, high-publication field. Among the 60+ coauthors (with 10 or more publications) of his three highest-cited and three most recent papers according to Scopus, I've calculated the median, average, and Altshuler's values for a few parameters: Total citations: med: 6390, avg: 13849, A: 5035; Total publications: med: 117, avg: 191, A: 64; h-index: med: 35, avg: 45, A: 25. However, his faculty positions and professional appointments as head of various national organizations likely push him into weak notability through other PROF criteria. JoelleJay (talk) 21:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  - Assistant coaches are a newer thing in MLB, but they are still coaches on the team's coaching staff. They count. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:15, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Muboshgu, they've been around for at least 5 years, so yes, comparatively speaking, they are new, and newer than when the SN was written. Assistant coaches are usually not included (e.g. WP:NGRIDIRON, WP:NBASKETBALL). Onel5969 ^{TT me} 21:59, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - Onel5969, the only difference between baseball and those sports you included in your argument is that in baseball the position is far more higher-ranking. If let's say a pitching coach was fired from a team, then it's quite possible the assistant would be hired as the replacement. Therefore a team could hire a new coach on the spot without having to go directly to the minor league system. This is also true for the assistant hitting coaches. It helps teams save time by not making dozens of replacements within the farm system for the same pitching coach job. And since they are now considered coaches on the big league staff, even as assistant coaches, the notability is sound. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:48, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the claims (e.g. "this is more notable than a weak NFOOTBALL pass") are cases of things changing since last round (weak NFOOTBALL passes are de facto no longer considered notable); the most serious keep argument actively admitted it was borderline and mostly showed trivial or promotional coverage. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 19:01, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: In addition to the multiple reliable sources already cited in the article, I found the following additional sources with a quick Google News search:

This article was up for AFD 3 years ago and passed relatively easily at the time. Since then more sources (like the ones identified above) have come out. I have no interest in WP naval gazing but there's no policy against Wikipedia related articles and the sources here seem like "significant coverage" to me. DocFreeman24 (talk) 01:14, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment as one of the principle organizers over the years, I have quite a conflict of interest on this so won't weigh in on the actual decision. However, also -- there is an increasing body of library-practice scholarship about the role #1lib1ref has played for the library and Wikipedia space (i.e. [29] or [30] -- see Google scholar search this search) and for derivative initiatives (i.e. CITENLM) . I would hope any move to delete would minimally up-merge the content into a larger "Wikipedia and Libraries" article (which doesn't yet exist) -- which I am kindof surprised hasn't been written yet considering the amount of professional documentation we have. And speaking as an admin that occasionally closes other discussions -- any time you open a deletion discussion opened with an insult like "masturbatory number of promotional primary sources" your whole argument 10x weaker because its designed to provoke emotional response from other participants, Sadads (talk) 13:12, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My language came from frustration, yes; I apologise for any offense taken. I'm not here to demean your work on the project, just as people AfDing any article on any other topic aren't out to harm its subjects. There is no difference between this matter and the organizer of any other event turning up to an AfD on that event's article. Vaticidalprophet (talk) 17:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It was agreed to be kept during the previouos AfD. Per reliable sources in the previouos AfD and above, the article is still good enough to pass WP:GNG. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 16:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In order, the previous AfD was:

An undisclosed creator !vote that read, in full, "Clearly meets GNG; the nom needs to find a better search engine"
A statement that significant events related to Wikipedia are notable, with no assertation as to how or why this specific event would be significant
The "borderline keep" I previously mentioned -- a good and serious attempt to find actual sources -- that demonstrated a combination of local coverage of "county librarian serves community" and WMF-based sources
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS-violating non-sequitur about WP:NFOOTBALL
Comment-slash-redirect-!vote
Delete !vote
Speedy keep just-a-vote that invoked WP:SNOW for some reason
Keep !vote that added two sources -- a good move -- except the sources in the article, three years later, are terrible

This is not an enticing selection of "things to refer to in the previous AfD". I'm not exactly a deletionist, to say the least, and I looked at that and went "there is no other subject where the majority of these keeps would be considered viable arguments".

2014 Chicago Maroons football team[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSEASONS. The University of Chicago fielded a major football program from the 1890s until the 1930s. The school then disbanded its football program for 23 years. While football did return in the 1960s, it has not in the past 60 years been played at a major college level. (The Maroons play in Division III -- the lowest level recognized by the NCAA.) This article is an outlier -- the only stand-alone article for a UC football team covering the post-major era. The article lacks independent sourcing, and my WP:BEFORE searches found no significant coverage for the 2014 team in any independent sources (not even local Chicago papers). Finally, even at the Division III level, the 2014 Chicago team was not ranked and was not among the 32 teams participating in the Division III playoffs.

Merge and Redirect a useful term for searching. Once upon a time, this storied football program was the best in the land. Today it is still a good program in its own right, but not on the level that we typically hold out as a "season-to-season" article collection. Typically "season" articles for this level of play are not included (although there are exceptions). It does look like a nice season result-wise, maybe if we find additional sources.--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:00, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to List of Jesuit educational institutions. I was just in the middle of writing an AfD proposal myself when I noticed that someone else had beat me to it. So, for the sake of efficiency, here is the nom that I had drafted, which reflects my views: "This article was deprodded with the edit summary "deprod, secondary school". But of course current consensus holds that there is no inherent notability for secondary schools; they must instead pass the GNG. This school does not. The article provides no sources outside its own website, and despite a thorough BEFORE search of local Malawian press, in English and Chichewa, I have been unable to locate anything outside of routine coverage. The subject is thus non-notable, and so the article should be either deleted or redirected to List of Jesuit educational institutions." Here's a courtesy ping for the deprodder, Necrothesp.

The article, by Vasudevart, read, in full: "Thrinay is a word from sanskrit language. It has multiple meanings. Trina means throne in Sanskrit. The word Thrinay means one who is seated on throne. It is mainly used to describe Gods and Goddesses in Hindu religion. It is used more in Devi Mahatmya to address Saraswati, one of the three supreme goddesses of Hindu religion. In some Puranas (like Skanda Purana) Saraswati is considered the daughter of Shiva (Shivaanujaa) and in some Tantras she is associated with Ganesha as his sister. Some also consider Thrinay as one of the names of Lord Shiva." Sandstein 18:02, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Zygomycophyta is not the name of a fungal group in Index Fungorum or MycoBank. The term produces no hits in JSTOR, Google Scholar, nor Pubmed.

The article relies primarily on non-independent, self-published and questionable sources as sources on themselves in the form of tweets and YouTube videos by one of the founders.

Remaining sources, with the exception of a couple Tubefilter articles, do not extend beyond trivial mentions of the topic. A notability tag has been in place for several months, and notability has not been established. Besides, the platform features at best three notable creators, one of which does not even have their own Wikipedia article. The shutdown announcement currently makes up about half of the article, yet it has not been covered by any independent source, as it does not extend beyond mere YouTube and social-media "drama". throast (talk) 14:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Under NFOOTBALL, no - that requirement is that you have to play in a competitive match between two teams from fully professional leagues. In theory, playing at that high level, even if for a semi-pro team, would surely generate enough coverage to meet GNG - the issue is that no such sources have been presented.

This is the first post that I posted, from all the nominations you sent to AfD, I looked at all of them that you nominated and there are a number of AfD's that you nominated that probably deserve to be deleted. However I feel that a fair number need to be kept. It feels like you have rushed through a number of articles into AfD. I can't read all the citations, but there are a number of newspaper articles on the players, which I don't understand, can't read and there is sources out there.

Keep per Govvy - evidently a hugely prominent player in Norwegian football Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 13:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Yes, I made the article, and could probably have done a better job doing so, but as I mentioned above, that the article is poorly written and lack sources is not a valid argument for deletion. This guy played in several seasons during the amateur era of a now fully-professional league, and thus meet WP:NFOOTBALL, atleast this was the consensus when I was editing actively a few years ago. Norwegian sources are generally hard to find for that time-period, because they are mostly offline as Govvy stated above, and I would suggest Aftenposten's archive would be the best place to find sources for this particular player. Mentoz (talk) 02:32, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Looking at the nominators edits from 7th and 8th of February, they made a whole bunch of nomination for deleting under the misconception that the Norwegian top tier is not a fully-professional league. Some of these Norwegian footballers are even well-known that "everyone" that follows Norwegian football know who are, like Arild Berg. I'm not actively editing Wikipedia anymore, but deleting these articles will be a loss for Wikipedia. It's easy to slap on a banner with the text "does not meet WP:NFOOTBALL or WP:GNG", it's much harder to find and add sources to convince other editors that several douzens of articles meet GNG within a week. If the Norwegian top league isn't considered a fully-professional league anymore, these articles should be gathered in one AfD as it'll be the same discussion in most of them. Mentoz (talk) 02:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't do that because they are not covered by WP:NFOOTBALL and individually need to stand or fall by WP:GNG. Some will pass (like Arild Berg). Others won't. Incidentally, since you present yourself as an expert on the subject here, do you know if/when the league did turn 'fully professional'? My feeling is that the current provisional 2001 cut-off date needs to be nudged forward somewhat. Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 18:09, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus.

Critical social justice[edit]

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

Neologism apparently invented by opponents of the social justice movement - sources are polemic opinion pieces or books, literally all of which are written by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. It does not appear to be self-applied by anyone. Previous version included deceptive use of sources which did not contain the phrase "critical social justice." The one remaining source not written by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose... is a review of the book by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 18:02, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(For transparency, this is the version before I attempted to gut and rewrite it before realizing it wasn't salvageable because literally all the sources came back to Lindsay and Pluckrose. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:42, 30 January 2021 (UTC))[reply]

*delete per WP:TNT GScholar lights up like a Christmas tree for this term, so I'm not convinced anything the current article says is true. I'm not sure that the numerous references to it in scholarly literature are intended to mean a specific and distinct topic, but either way, this is either NN, or it's a real subject and not a right-wing neologism. Mangoe (talk) 18:48, 30 January 2021 (UTC) see below Mangoe (talk) 15:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- The article discussed it as a real subject, not a neologism, but only cited very low-grade sources for that. Nom was the one who rewrote it to refer to critical social justice as a neologism. —Kilopylae (talk) 19:00, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename. This should be a move request — not a gutted page and an AfD. The broad social and intellectual movement (call it critical social justice, woke ideology or whatever else) is clearly deserving of an overview article that does not currently exist. This AfD is predicated on the idea that CSJ as a neologism for that topic is not notable, which is true. However, the topic for which CSJ is a neologism is notable. Hence the article should be renamed to a more appropriate term and should be returned to its original framing as an article about the intellectual and social movement rather than the terminology. —Kilopylae (talk) 19:00, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
One cannot write a page about a purported "intellectual and social movement" when literally all the sources are from two people who have established themselves in opposition to this claimed "intellectual and social movement." The page wouldn't have been "gutted" if it included sources other than blogposts by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, a book by James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose, a book review of said book, an opinion column by Helen Pluckrose, and a YouTube video by... Helen Pluckrose. (Nice try with the Britannica source which nowhere actually contained the phrase "critical social justice," but that doesn't count.) You may wish to review WP:V and WP:RS - basically you're demanding that we take these two people's polemic opposition to what they claim to be "critical social justice" as fact, and that we clearly cannot do. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Scholarly and borderline-scholarly papers coin neologisms all the time. This one hasn't reached the point of being sufficiently widespread and established to qualify as noteworthy. Sources not by Lindsay and Pluckrose are false positives. Some use "critical" as a synonym for "vital"; e.g., Some counselor and counseling psychology training programs also might consider including educational, legal, and public policy institutions as experiential or applied learning sites for the development of critical social justice competencies among their students (Constantine et al. (2007), emphasis added). Others use the phrase to describe their own work, but overall there isn't an established meaning consistent across authors. It's not our job to bring unity where the actual literature has none. (Compare the recent deletion of Indigenous Ways of Knowing on WP:SYNTH grounds.) WP:TNT applies. XOR'easter (talk) 19:30, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at the added references. Many were, in my view, unsuitable per WP:RS; at least one was Russian state propaganda. I'm still going with "delete" on this one. XOR'easter (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That does not automatically render it unsuitable for all contexts — Russian state propaganda is a reliable source for "what the Russian state is putting out as propaganda", for instance. A major news publication using a phrase does help to establish that that phrase is used in a range of publications and the author of an RT piece using a phrase does help to establish that a range of authors have used the phrase; the reliability of statements of fact in that source has no bearing on its use as a source for the style of language it is using. WP:RSCONTEXT and WP:RSOPINION are both worth considering here, particularly the principles that information provided "by an otherwise reliable source that is not related to the principal topics of the publication may not be reliable" (from WP:RSCONTEXT), which indicates that the reliability of a source varies in relation to different kinds of information that the source may be cited to support, and "Some sources may be considered reliable for statements as to their author's opinion, but not for statements asserted as fact" (from WP:RSOPINION), which establishes the general principle that a source that is unreliable for matters of fact — such as Russian state propaganda — might be reliable for other material, such as the author's opinion and presumably also such as whether the source used a particular phrase or not. —Kilopylae (talk) 10:21, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Russia Today has been formally deprecated. Consequently, it can only be used in extraordinarily rare circumstances (WP:ABOUTSELF), none of which would apply here. XOR'easter (talk) 13:53, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: My search is turning up the same thing as XOR'easter's: this neologism is not used in this way in any in-depth independent discussions of the idea that I can find. We do not have the coverage needed for a standalone page about a recent academic neologism. And TNT has basically already been applied to this page, I think correctly, leaving nothing worth merging anywhere and no sources that I can find worth adding back in. - Astrophobe (talk) 20:24, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Agreed that previous version of article was far too reliant on Lindsay and Pluckrose as primary sources. I've added a considerable amount of detail and secondary sourcing to this article today, enough I think to make a strong case for keeping the article. NorthBySouthBaranof made the AfD under the premise that CSJ is a "Neologism apparently invented by opponents of the social justice movement...It does not appear to be self-applied by anyone." This is incorrect - in fact, the term was both coined and self-applied by a major figure in the social justice movement (DiAngelo) who traces its history and stresses the centrality of the concept to her project. The term's recent appropriation by opponents of the field I believe makes it particularly noteworthy. Furthermore - the term is being used with some frequency in publications big and small. Don't blame above contributors for not spotting the links as some are buried in search results, but they are there, and I've added the references.

Keep. 2000+ hits on GScholar. The concept is notable, and I don't see what in the current article merts WP:TNTing. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Counting the raw hits on Google Scholar is wildly misleading for this topic. If you search "critical social justice" you see a colossal number of hits for people who are not talking about this article subject at all, but are rather saying things like "we have a need for critical social justice reforms". Why do you believe you found thousands of hits for the topic of the article and not just the same string being used in an unrelated way? This is like arguing to keep an article on an obscure person named "Bob Smith" because "Bob Smith" has a lot of google hits. - Astrophobe (talk) 23:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, WP:GOOGLEHITS applies to Scholar as well, particularly for phrases with alternate meanings. XOR'easter (talk) 15:56, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

comment I'm almost to the point of withdrawing my previous opinion, but I'm still seeing an article which doesn't actually describe the subject adequately to take it beyond a social science buzzphrase. Mangoe (talk) 16:04, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The lack of clarity about the social-science-buzzphrase meaning of the phrase also makes it hard to tell whether it's actually the same thing as what Lindsay, Pluckrose, etc. are complaining about, or whether they lifted the term and are applying it more broadly. XOR'easter (talk) 17:02, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- DiAngelo and her critics agree on a precise definition of Critical social justice, i.e. critical theory applied to social justice. Lindsay et al explain that they use her term because she defines it and they agree with that definition. What sits under that umbrella is broad, but the term itself is specific, and I don't believe there's another term for what it describes. Regarding Mangoe's point that the article "doesn't describe the subject adequately" - additional referenced details have been cut - some quite rightly by XOR'easter, but some I'm still confused about. e.g. I'm still unsure sure why the Federalist ref was cut - as an opinion column by the political editor of a prominent conservative news website, I thought it significant? (I'm a new contributor so apologise if if this is not the right forum for the question) Vastsmack (talk) 00:32, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - You can't use an opinion column as a reference for factual details about anything. At best, it's usable for the cited opinion of the author, and that only if deemed due weight. It's unclear whether The Federalist (a clearly-partisan source of unknown provenance and funding which published knowing falsehoods and conspiracy theories about the 2020 United States presidential election) is due weight on this subject. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 00:41, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - John Daniel Davidson, that same "political editor of a prominent conservative news website" you wish to cite, wrote an article promoting the clearly-false and seditious conspiracy theory that Democratic Party machines in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are trying to steal the election. If that's the quality of the sourcing you're standing on, I rest my case. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:57, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - I cited an opinion column as a source for an opinion - it was marked as a such as per WP:RSOPINION. XOR'easter cited WP:DUE but given that the term has gained more currency among critics it's reasonable to expect the weighting of the literature reflected in the article. Regarding The Federalist - yes, it's clearly partisan - but that alone doesn't distinguish it from any major news network in America. I'm not aware of The Federalist being a deprecated source, despite its coverage of the 2020 Election conspiracy theories (I don't read it but I'll take your word for it - they are Trump sycophants) Your dislike of their politics or their misleading coverage of a certain issue does not mean their political editor's opinions need additional corroboration to establish their significance.
      - Even if the subject is notable, random opinions about it aren't necessarily worth talking about. In fact, the more noteworthy a subject, the more people pay attention to it, and the more nonsense is said about it — 90% of everything is crud, and for a more popular topic you're just taking 90% of a larger commentary pie. XOR'easter (talk) 14:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- The issue is that there aren't any reliable sources (or even unreliable ones?) defining what is, and what isn't, "critical theory applied to social justice."
  - In what way are DiAngelo and Lindsay, two best-selling authors, not reliable sources? Vastsmack (talk) 04:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sales don't indicate reliability. Goop is a successful brand, but that doesn't make its products actual medicine. XOR'easter (talk) 14:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Lindsay's entire essay about this subject last year is basically describing his invention/repurposing of the term "critical social justice" as a naked attempt to rebrand his opposition to "the social justice movement" because using that phrase feeds into exactly the nearly perfect branding that the movement wants. He wrote Still, it’s nearly always best to name your enemy something that they would or do call themselves. So basically he's trying to invent "critical social justice" as a neologistic phrase to brand his clearly-identified ideological enemy, which is the existing social justice movement. We're not obligated to help him. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 01:34, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - "Naked attempt"? Well, at least you're being honest that your WP:TNT is based on your ideological opposition to Lindsay. I've given an example on the talk page that you're clearly not holding your own editing to the standards that you've held mine. Your bar for including random quotes critical of Lindsay is lower than your bar for including Lindsay's own words. Guidelines make clear that a self-published source is sometimes the best possible source when it concerns the views of an expert in the relevant field. Lindsay and Pluckrose literally wrote a best-selling book in this field. Their views on Critical social justice are cited in the media. And I don't think your characterisation of Lindsay's views is accurate - in his telling, he is not rebranding "the social justice movement", but trying to differentiate between social justice, and what he and others have previously called the 'Social Justice Movement', that is, the specific tendency to use ideas derived from Critical Theory as a lens through which to view problems of social justice. If Critical Theory was an insoluble part of "the social justice movement" I would expect it to be cited at least once in the article. Vastsmack (talk) 04:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - You keep declaring James Lindsay as an "expert" on social justice as if that's some known and acknowledged fact. It's not. He's clearly a critic who views social justice as his ideological enemy (his words) - that doesn't make him an "expert" on social justice any more than Mike Lindell is an "expert" on elections. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, it really looks like "critical social justice" as used by DiAngelo means a somewhat specific (but still buzzwordy) thing, while "critical social justice" for Lindsay is the new "grievance studies" or "wokeism", i.e., anything in a great big blob of ideas that Lindsay doesn't like.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vaticidalprophet (talk) 11:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

keep I'm going to give the article another day or so before I look at it again, but it seems to me baldly obvious that however much Lindsay may have a right to criticize CSJ in practice, he has no standing to define it in theory. That said, and leaving aside my personal skepticism about critical theory in general, it seems clear that we're at the point of trying to hammer out a decent article on a notable subject at this point, rather than being stuck with starting from scratch. Mangoe (talk) 15:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As the one who originally titled the page critical social justice, I want to emphasise that Mangoe is completely correct that what we need is a decent article on a notable subject. I'm really not wedded to the term CSJ — I just used it because it was what I'd heard. We need an article about the topic and discussion about what that article should be titled (including NorthbySouth's concern that CSJ is a non-notable neologism) is not a matter for this AfD. —Kilopylae (talk) 20:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is there actually enough to support a stand-alone article, though, or would the topic be better off treated as an offshoot of something else within another article? XOR'easter (talk) 22:20, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge It doesn't look like this is really a good standalone article - critical social justice gives 470 million hits whereas critical social justice lindsay gives 5 million. It is probably better off being a part of Lindsay's article given that this term is only a small fraction of what critical social justice is on the internet. See also critical social justice pedealogy which has 15 million hits and critical social justice feminism which has 36 million hits. Swordman97 ^{talk to me} 00:31, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per and Kilopylae and Vastsmack. I agree with the users arguing that this is a notable topic, although it's known by many different names. Other names for this set of beliefs are "Wokeism" and "Successor ideology". While the articles Wokeism and Successor ideology also exist, those are articles about the terms "Woke" and "Successor ideology", while Wikipedia does not have an article (aside from this one) about the actual belief system that these terms are describing. So the article should be kept, but I wouldn't be opposed to moving it to a different name. 2600:1004:B119:831C:A0BF:D564:1BD6:5387 (talk) 00:26, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- It is at the very least debatable whether "Wokeism" and "Successor ideology" are actual belief systems or merely labels applied to disparage ideas the labeler doesn't like. Consequently, they are best discussed as terms, since the terms themselves exist. XOR'easter (talk) 20:44, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This belief system recently was denounced by the president of France: [31] Instead of "Wokeism" or "Successor ideology", his education minister referred to it as "an intellectual matrix from American universities". These are a lot of different terms for the same set of beliefs. If a belief system is notable enough for the president of a country to denounce it, it should be notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. 2600:1004:B11E:1D33:4DF0:ACE1:82B2:9BF4 (talk) 01:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Except that you have the problem of WP:SYNTH. That NYT article nowhere uses the phrase "critical social justice." It might be your personal opinion that it's talking about "the same set of beliefs," but absent a reliable source making the connection, Wikipedia cannot do so. There are many topics which Wikipedia may or may not be able to, in some minds, adequately cover because reliable sources have not yet covered them adequately. That James Lindsay wants to popularize the term "critical social justice" for this purported set of viewpoints is clear. That the term is in anything resembling widespread use is not debatable - it is not. If it was, we'd have far more and better sources than a batch of op-ed columns written exclusively by people who share his opinions. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 01:43, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's be clear: are you agreeing that there exists a coherent set of beliefs, with its own epistemology and set of policy prescriptions, that these various terms are referring to? And the question is whether Wikipedia can apply the term "critical social justice" (or any other term) to this set of beliefs, in cases where sources aren't using that specific term? 2600:1004:B11E:1D33:4DF0:ACE1:82B2:9BF4 (talk) 02:18, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

James Lindsay has laid out a rather broad, vague set of things he views as his "ideological enemy" which he thinks should be collectively called "critical social justice." That there is any sort of coherency to that set of things is, at this point, a matter of opinion, and based on the sources that anyone has been able to find, his opinion doesn't appear to be very widely shared. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:00, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly; whether there is a coherent set of beliefs, with its own epistemology and set of policy prescriptions is not at all clear from the sources available, which tend to the polemic rather than the soberly analytical. XOR'easter (talk) 14:22, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is why I linked to the article quoting the president of France. This is a situation where there are a few Wikipedia editors saying there isn't necessarily any coherent underlying ideology that these terms are describing, while the president of a country and several members of his cabinet are saying that there is. How many national leaders have to say this a real ideology before it becomes verifiable? Is it necessary for the presidents of multiple countries to say it, rather than just one? 2600:1004:B163:4C2D:D0FC:62DF:786A:E4CC (talk) 14:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, what reliable source says that what the French president was talking about is "critical social justice"? If you can't find one, it's prohibited original synthesis to make such a connection. We already have articles on "Woke" and social justice which discuss criticisms by people who perceive problems with those perceived philosophies (that there is a coherent and identifiable "woke" is debatable). Just because James Lindsay wants to rebrand them "critical social justice" doesn't mean Wikipedia is going to automatically follow his every whim. We follow the sources, and the sources aren't taking up his phrasing.

As a matter of fact, the NYT article specifically uses the phrase "woke leftism." So if you wanted to include that article there, it shouldn't be a problem. That the NYT has not taken up Lindsay's rebranding project is not a problem Wikipedia can fix for you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 15:35, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop changing the subject. There are two separate questions here, but when I try to address one, you switch to the other. These are the two questions:

1: Is "Critical social justice" a widely used term, and are there enough sources available that describe what it means?

2: Is there a real underlying ideology to which this term, "Woke leftism", and "Successor ideology" refer?

My last comment was addressing (2), not (1), but your response here was to bring up point (1) again.

I'm fine with the article being named something other than "critical social justice", if we can come up with another term that's more widely used. I'm making a point about the concept, not the name. The relevance of the comments from the French president is that they show it's verifiable there is a real ideology that these terms are referring to. And there is no other Wikipedia article about this particular ideology, rather than about various individual names for it. 2600:1004:B14D:A7C2:6CFB:635E:492D:B534 (talk) 16:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What makes a politician reliable about, well, anything? Also, it seems to me that NorthBySouthBaranof's comment was about your point (2): it's not our job to declare that what one person calls "woke leftism" is the same as what somebody else calls "critical social justice". XOR'easter (talk) 16:40, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What's wrong with the article at "woke"? That seems to be the term used by, well, the source you yourself cited. And it contains extensive discussion and criticism of perceived issues with the perception of "woke." Whether or not it is a "real ideology" is certainly a question of debate, but some people certainly argue that it is, and there are sufficient reliable sources on the issue for Wikipedia to present that debate.

Glamoč Airport[edit]

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

The article has been recently nominated for deletion on Polish Wikipedia as a possible hoax. Sources present here and on other interwikis are very poor and seem to be to some websites of dubious reliability which might have copied information from Wikipedia. Linked Google Map coordinates show what looks like normal farmland. Code LQGL does not seem to exist in this ICAO database (it's the one linked from ICAO airport code, if there is a more reliable one I couldn't find it - please add it to said page). The consulted database lists six others airports in Bosnia Hercegovina but nothing in Glamoc. Then there is an issue whether this entity would pass WP:GNG if it was real - but first, we have to seriously consider that this is a hoax (unintentional perhaps, a repetition of some error due to the creator's assumption that this website - the only cited source - is reliable - but it is just someone's personal homepage...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:33, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't know that this was an intentional hoax on Wikipedia but I don't think it's a real airport, from the evidence presented. - tucoxn\^talk 17:44, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A quick google for the ICAO code gave me https://www.icao.int/wacaf/documents/apirg/sg/2012/afi_opmet_mtf4/docs/wp10_atta.pdf which seems to include only 4 airports in .ba total, which seems a bit suspect, though. I looked up e.g. Lučko Airport there and couldn't find it, either, yet that's definitely a real place. This Glamoč location could be an airfield that isn't an actual airport with proper facilities, but has historically been used for plane transport. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=Glamo%C4%8D+airfield indicates that this should indeed be the case. Maybe simply rename it to Glamoč airfield? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:01, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This Google Earth time lapse doesn't show (or have enough detail to show) the discolored area that could be an old airstrip. It's hard to be convinced if this is a real airstrip or not. - tucoxn\^talk 12:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The book sources I linked typically talk of military usage, and/or during wartime, and one snippet there explicitly mentions an 'improvised' airfield, so we're unlikely to see a clear pattern of e.g. paved runways on the sattelite images (even if there was a war there since 1984). It's probably just the flattest part of the polje of Glamoč that is empty enough for planes to land. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 16:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep According to The Civil War in Popular Culture: Memory and Meaning Battle Cry "was almost certainly the best-selling game on the Civil War" Geo Swan (talk) 05:20, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Geo Swan, Good find. It's a nice start, but one sentence like this is not sufficient to establish notability which requires more than trivial / passing mentions. If nothing else can be established from RS, we could add this factoid to the article about the publisher (Milton Bradley Company). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:59, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Piotrus, thanks for your reply. Can I draw your attention to my email to Scott Mingus, this article's original author? Contributor Scott Mingus, who started this article in 2006, is no longer active on the wikipedia. My email notes that his 2006 version would have been considered a fine addition to the wikipedia, in 2006. I told him I was concerned its nomination "might be a good example of a bad phenomenon".
  - Strong compliance with the obligations of WP:BEFORE can be tricky. I didn't rely solely on the google searches generated by the AFD template. This game was a collaboration between Milton Bradley and the American Heritage magazine, so I added "American Heritage" to my search terms.
  - I am working on an essay, User:Geo Swan/opinions/When complying with BEFORE is not straighforward. That essay isn't near being ready to promotion to the wikipedia namespace, because there are so many wrinkles to performing the really effective BEFORE searches older articles like this one really deserve.
  - Could you see your way clear to being more specific as to what you think the topic requires to merit a standalone article? Geo Swan (talk) 18:07, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Geo Swan, With the caveat that it is impossible to provide 'perfect measures', I interpret WP:GNG in general as requiring 2+ sources and WP:SIGCOV as clarifying that a single sentence is not sufficient to make the source non-trivial. SIGCOV gives the example of a dedicated book as a non-trivial coverage, but of course, a dedicated article or chapter will do as well. In practice, we often accept several paragraphs or even a single one as possibly being in-depth, but that can vary, and the content of those paragraphs is relevant too (for example if we discuss a piece of fiction, we tend to ask for a non-plot summary type of coverage). Anyway, for a board game, I'd like to see 2+ reliable sources that discuss its significance/impact / etc. in few paragraphs each. Usually, reviews in gaming magazines or portals are helpful here, but for older games we do run into the problem of such reviews not being digitized. Unfortunately, WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES notes we can't just assume they exist. Hence, the best solution could be to WP:SOFTDELETE this article by redirecting it to the publisher, making it easy for someone to restore it if the found better sources in the future. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:09, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - Okay, thanks for another thoughtful reply. My reading of the references I found is that Milton Bradley collaborated with American Heritage magazine on four games: Dogfight (World War 1 aerial warfare), On the Beach (WW2 Pacific Island landings), and the fourth was naval warfare from the War of 1812. That is 1961. A fifth game was added some time later.

If there are some references for the other games I suggest this be moved to a new article on the collaboration, with American Heritage magazine and Milton Bradley Corporation both linking to that new article. Geo Swan (talk) 02:49, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Geo Swan, Right, but as we don't have said sources, I'd suggest discussing that collaboration at Milton Bradley Company in a dedicated section. Assuming we can find sources at all, the last time I checked said collaboration was mentioned in our articles without as much as a single source, sigh... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ironclads series[edit]

WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). PS. As far as I can tell, the term 'Ironclad series' is unofficial. The article contains an unsourced entry for one game in this 'series' ([36]). A check at BGG reveals there is one more game published by the company with the title 'Ironclads' [37] but again, any grouping of such titles into a series seems WP:OR (even the publisher owns description doesn't mention such a series (see HoI page; I couldn't even find the official page for the DW game), plus the topic fails WP:GNG as I couldn't find any reliable reviews for this 'series' as a whole. If individual games from the series are notable (dubious; those are very niche titles with no reviews listed on the linked BGG pages) then they can have their own separate pages created. PPS. We could consider redirecting this to the more notable and related Great War at Sea series, except I still can't find any RS that describes those two new games as a 'series'. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:10, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete people defeated in primary elections at the county level are never notable for that, and there is no other even remote claim of notability. In fact people who loose general elections at the country level are virtually never notable for that, and I am not convinced Cook County Sherrif's are default notable, but we may be able to find substantive coverage on most recent ones.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:53, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they did not win, county sheriff is a level of office at which he still wouldn't be automatically guaranteed inclusion in Wikipedia even if he had won, and the article doesn't suggest any credible evidence that he had preexisting notability for other reasons that would have gotten him into Wikipedia independently of the candidacy.

List of mayors of Kavajë[edit]

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

I am also nominating the following related pages:

Also delete Refik Rrugëja, Elvis Rroshi, Isa Sakja, Redjan Krali, List of members of parliament from Kavajë and Kavajë Municipal Council. Kavaje is a rather small city of just 20,000 residents. It is unknown outside Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Montenegro, predominantly Albanian areas in southern Serbia, and the Albanian diaspora, and even more so unknown is it's municipal government. If articles existed about the municipal government in Albanian I would not nominate them for deletion. However none of the articles about the mayors and list of mayors even have their own article in Albanian. So why would they exist on English Wikipedia. Even in Albania, the politics of the town would not be particularly notable as Kavaje is much smaller than major Albanian cities like Tirana or Durres, and is not among the top largest cities. While sometimes there are notable mayors of small cities in foreign countries such as Andal Ampatuan Jr. or Azra Jafari, who were involved in notable political events, none of the mayors of Kavaje were involved in anything notable. --Otis the Texan (talk) 02:30, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all There is no sign that any of the subjects here are notable. While members of parliament are notable, I do not see a good reason to have the list. City/municipality/county (municipality has so many different meanings, it is often hard to decide what else it is like) leaders are not default notable.

Delete. Wikipedia does not deem every mayor of every town or city that exists as "automatically" notable enough for inclusion here — the notability test for mayors is not passed by writing the bare minimum necessary to demonstrate that the person existed as a mayor, but by documenting and sourcing substantive content about their political significance: specific things they did, specific effects they had on the development of the city, specific notable events they were directly involved in, and on and so forth. None of these articles is showing what's required. Bearcat (talk) 04:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Games Research Inc[edit]

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

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline nor the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. WP:BEFORE did not reveal any significant coverage on Gnews, Gbooks or Gscholar." It was deprodded by User:Andrew Davidson with no meaningful rationale (despite the fact that I explicitly asked for one in the PROD). To expand, BEFORE shows a bunch of mentions in passing, usually in the context of one of the games it published (not designed), which generally merits an attribution ("blah blah blah game x published by this company"). Those are trivial/in passing mentions, and I saw nothing to suggest the company was significant. It existed for ~2 decades, did what companies do, then went out of business. The best source I've found is "Diplomacy is published by Games Research Inc. , a Boston outfit that turns out challenging diversions". Nothing encyclopedic here. WP:NOTYELLOWPAGES etc. PS. I will note that they were the second publisher of Diplomacy (game) (first edition was self-published), but that trivia in itself cannot make the company notable per WP:NOTINHERITED, unless we can find some in-depth coverage that would discuss the importance of the company in the context of the development of this game (which I looked for and failed to find). A mention of the company in the page for the Diplomacy game is sufficient (and it is already there, I've added a reference). I am not sure if a redirect is warranted, since the company published more than a single game, however. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:34, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  The article profiles Games Research. It notes that the company's president is John Moot and that the company "markets and sells games of a somewhat intellectual cast". The article notes that the company's inaugural game was "Convention", which Homer D. Babbidge Jr., President Eisenhower's Undersecretary of Health, Education and Welfare, had created. The game was published in 1960 and its aim was to have the players secure over 50% of the fictional political convention's delegates. The next game the company released was "Diplomacy", which was created by Allan Calhamer. The most recent game that would be published soon was "What's That on My Head?" The company's players and members were: John T. Noonan Jr., who edited the National Law Forum and was an instructor at Notre Dame University; John Mansfield, a Harvard Law School professor; Hartley Rogers Jr., an MIT math professor; and Nathaniel Young Jr., a Boston lawyer.
2. "Brain-Busting". Time. Vol. 82, no. 24. 1963-12-13.

Their first game was Convention!, which can be played by two to seven players, each of whom is trying to win the nomination for President of the U.S. Uncommitted delegates, ballots, caucuses, bandwagon sentiment and demonstrations all play a part, with the smoke-filled room a policy of utter desperation. ... Second -- and most sophisticated -- product of Games Research is Diplomacy. ... [discussion of Diplomacy] ...

Moot heads a four-year-old partnership of one Yale and four Harvard men who all have other fulltime jobs." The article lists the company's published games: Convention!, Insight, Diplomacy, and What's That on My Head? (a logic game). The article notes that the president and other employees of Game Research "are involved in test playing the games".

- Cunard, Can you double-check the link to your source 1? Instead of an article about GRI I get one about Avalon Hill titled "Games for Grownups...". I also don't think that the few sentences in sources 2 and 3 are 'in-depth coverage', but I appreciate you quoting all the relevant information. I think some of the resources you found may be useful to expand articles about the game Diplomacy and its designer. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:55, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Ok, I wrote a reply to Cunard, asking for more information and indicating I didn't see anything but passing references and asking what he liked.

Merge to Diplomacy- which seems to be its main contribution- and its notable only for its connection to that game. Nightenbelle (talk) 16:39, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Based on my review of the sources, I oppose a merge to Diplomacy (game). The company has been profiled in The New York Times and Time. The New York Times profile discusses the company's gamemakers and three of the company's games: "Convention", "Diplomacy", and "What's That on My Head?" It spends several paragraphs discussing how "What's That on My Head?" is played. The Time article profiles the company through discussing their gamemakers and the company's three games: "Convention", "Diplomacy", and "What's That on My Head?". It would be undue weight to cover information about the company's other two games ("Convention" and ""What's That on My Head?") and the company's gamemakers in Diplomacy (game).

Merge to Diplomacy (game) as ATD. According to the latest RfC, at WP:N, the applicable guideline is WP:NCORP for determining whether references meet the criteria for establishing notability. It is a stricter guideline that vanilla GNG. Cunard above links to reference and says they meet GNG. This isn't the appropriate guideline. Looking through the lens of NCORP, the references fail the criteria. There are three references marked as "Significant". The first from the New York Times is *entirely* based on an interview with the president of Games Research and information provided by the company. There is no "Independent Content" and fails WP:ORGIND. I believe this links to the second reference based on the extract shown by Cunard above. It contains no in-depth information on the company and also appears to be entirely based on information and quotations provided by the president of the company as part of a promotion of their "newest" game "What's That on My Head?". This fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. The third reference suffers from the same problems, it is entirely based on an interview with the president of the company and information provided by the company. Fails WP:ORGIND. I am unable to locate *any* references which meet the criteria, this topic fails NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 18:25, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- HighKing, Thank you for the detailed review. I'll also note that per WP:INTERVIEW, interviews in general are considered to be problematic as sources. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:06, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm having problems seeing how you can know the NYT article comes solely from the company. Could you explain? Hobit (talk) 02:42, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Hobit, I don't think User:HighKing wrote that. They said (in my understanding) the article is based primarily on an interview with the company's staff, which takes us to the problems discussed in the essay linked above. (Yes, it's an essay, but in my AfD experience interviews are seen as low-tier sources - and if this is the best we have, well...). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:16, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    - Hobit, I'm puzzled that someone would question that the NYT article is anything other than one *entirely* based on an interview with John Moot. Every fact-drop is either preceded or followed by a supporting comment or an anecdotal comment either from or about Moot. This is "echo chamber" reporting and there is nothing I can see to suggest the article contains any original/independent opinion/analysis/investigation or fact checking attributable to a source unaffiliated with the company. Even with a generous eye towards ORGIND, once you strip out any quotes or information attributable to Moot or the company, we're left with ... very little and certainly not enough to satisfy CORPDEPTH since the remaining information simply describes the "object" of various games and nothing about the company. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:54, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      - I got the strong sense the author was familiar with two of the games. And it does describe the workings of the company (though those parts were clearly taken from an interview). I have no problem at all with the article as counting toward WP:N, though I understand your objections. Hobit (talk) 14:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        I don't understand. You agree that the information which relates to the company clearly came from an interview. The topic of this article is the company, not the products. You say that you get a sense the interviewer was familiar with the games but that not relevant for determining notability of the company. You don't say whether, or on what basis, this article meets ORGIND and/or CORPDEPTH for the purposes of establishing notability though, which is the critical point to overcome. HighKing⁺⁺ 15:29, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        I admit I do a lot less with corporations than almost anything else here. But I think the WP:N bar is the right bar for a company that is this old and went out of business so long ago. Just like for biographies of folks from the 1930s we might have lower expectations than we do for a living person, I think WP:N, rather than corp/org is the right bar. We can argue SNGs vs GNG all day, but I'm generally happy with the GNG bar, especially for something like this. Hobit (talk) 00:26, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tradinista![edit]

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

The article is, by its own admission, about a private chat group that created a website in 2016, which was taken down after a few months. The claim to notability is that it was mentioned in a NYTimes OpEd and an editor at a different publication expressed support for the group in a blogpost. A short-lived internet group with a couple of mentions hardly passes muster under WP:ORGCRITE.

Furthermore, the article violates WP:GNG, in that it cites only (a) opinion pieces, (b) blogposts without editorial oversight (neither of which meet the verifiability guidelines under WP:SOURCES), and (c) articles authored by primary sources involved in the subject matter of the article. A single mention in a single NY Times OpEd plus a handful of blog posts hardly seems to constitute a reliable basis for notability. Additionally, from previous PROD dated 27 July 2018, by 53backes:

This page is for a movement that does not meet the notability requirements for an organization, as all discussions of the organization are confined to a one month window. Added to this is that only one person performed any substantial effort over the course of the past year in contributing to it.

The article has been tagged as "non-notable" without any new sources cited or substantial change in content for over two years. It appears to be the solo project of a single editor. Thorshammer595 (talk) 02:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

I do not see the notability of this family tree and there are no citations. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy. "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic." and "Do not contribute original research to Wikipedia. Sources to verify genealogical information in Wikipedia should follow Wikipedia's verifiability guidelines" (since there are no citations) Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 01:34, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: Hi! You can't put the page into deletion when it clearly says it is in construction! I'm adding sources in a draft page, where I will complete the article as soon as I can, and then hopefully transfer it to public view. But I need TIME! And the matter is important. The family is big and ruled in an important part of Northern Italy. Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 01:46, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mhmrodrigues: The article did not indicate that it was under construction when it was nominated and, upon checking just a second ago, it still does not. I was going to move it to the draftspace, but it appears there is already a draft there. I'm a little confused now. Are you working on two separate articles with the same name? Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 03:01, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: Hi! It wasn't me who made the move to the draft and I didn't notice that the "under construction" was erased by the user who made the move for me. I'll edit now in the draft space, with time, as this family tree is big. Sorry for the inconvenience... Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 04:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, I am still a little confused. If the article had simply been moved to the draftspace, their wouldn't still be one in the mainspace. You are more than welcome to continue working on the draft, but the copy that is in the mainspace is not ready to be there yet. If you are working on both of them, it could be moved to a subpage of your userpage. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 13:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: If the draft will be kept intact after deleting, and if I'm able to restore the page once the draft is complete, then I don't mind if you delete the page for now. Otherwise, then, I won't agree with its deletion. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 13:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, it could be moved to User:Mhmrodrigues/Family tree of the Malaspina family if you still wish to work on it outside of the mainspace. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 14:00, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: I would rather not move the text from place to place. I'll edit the page in the draft, as where it is now. There's no need to complicate things even more. You know now that the page is being developed, and, as you have seen, I've put again the sign of maintenance in the main page. I think that now it shouldn't bother the possible visitors of the page. I only ask to remove the delete warning, please. Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 14:58, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: By the way, if you want, when I finish the page, I'll notify you, in the case you have infomation about the family or specific members, so you can add. The same applies to the other people here. Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, the deletion notice can't be removed until the discussion has been completed. While the article is under-construction, the mainspace is not meant to house under-construction articles for long, that is why the draftspace exists. Even if you look past that, some users have brought up notability concerns as well as possible original research due to the lack of sources. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 17:21, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: But who guarantees that, if the page is deleted and I create the page again once I finish it, it won't be deleted once more? And I have sources. I put them in the Bibliography. Notability? For God's sake, it is the Malaspina family, an italian noble family! A family is important as a whole! Why cover the Massa-Carrara and Fosdinovo branches and forget the members of the other branches? Mhmrodrigues (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mhmrodrigues: If the page is deleted, it should not be recreated unless it is substantially different in topic and scope. —Kbabej (talk) 18:05, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, please click this link. This is the article in discussion, not the draft. There is no bibliography in the draft. There are also only two people included in the entire article that are linked to their own articles, which isn't really much considering how many people are listed. You also have to remember (quoting Wikipedia:WikiProject Genealogy) "Wikipedia is not a genealogy. Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic." How does this article do that? Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 18:14, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@EDG 543: These authors made complete family trees of the family, that's why there's so many people in the two names of the Bibliography. The genealogy will support the understanding of the Malaspinas by detailing how each branch was created. The Spino Secco branch is very poorly developed in the Malaspina page. I'm trying to establish a relation between the branches and the terriories they ruled, and I can only do that if a family tree is available, given the extension. It's similar to the many branches of the House of Wettin, whose table of rulers (which I intend to create also for the Malaspinas in the Malaspina family page) can be viewed in the page List of rulers of Saxony. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 18:38, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is already thoroughly covered at Malaspina family. —Kbabej (talk) 03:26, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kbabej: Hi! No, it's not. Can you make me a list of ALL rulers of the family based just on the information in the page (BTW some of the successions which are eventually presented are wrong). With a family tree, we will know better and thoroughly the members of the family (not just Fosdinovo, Massa-Carrara and some scratchy succession lists!!!) Mhmrodrigues (talk) 04:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it. Obviously. I'm editing the page in a draft, but it will be a page soon. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 04:18, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:GNG, fails WP:ANYBIO; so this isn't a notable subject. Further, fails pillar policy WP:NOT, as original research. Mhmrodrigues, an encyclopedia isn't the place to record history. Rather, it's a place to summarize and paraphrase what others have already written in reliable sources. Not one single thing can come from things you know, have been told, have seen or have induced or deduced. Nothing. At all. The entire content of what you are trying to contribute must be paraphrased from reliable published sources. The article was draftified once for you to work on outside the encyclopedia. You reversed that, so this is what happens. 174.254.192.213 (talk) 04:29, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@174.254.192.213: Hi! It's not from an encyclopedia! Litta and Branchi are independent authors. If I can't find other sources it's because I couldn't find them on Internet. Google only allows me to see volume II of Branchi's work, and Litta is available in the Gallica page. It's frustrating when you can't find what you want afte searching a lot, and above that, people who accuse you of not doing your work properly! Wikipedia should avoid original research, and this family tree is not original! Is based on Litta and Branchi's works, as shown in the Bibliography. The sketchy Pregola branch is based on a website that I'm to include in Bibkiography too! I just need TIME! Mhmrodrigues (talk) 12:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Spiderone: Hi! This artcile will obviously support the Malaspina family article, by offering a more complete family tree that was not shown in the page of the Malaspinas. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 12:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I have to justify myself everytime? Aren't my reasons enough? Can't you wait for me to finish the draft and then judge? Please, understand my point of view. It is an article IN CONSTRUCTION. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 12:09, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If the article isn't ready then why did you move it out of the draft space? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:13, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Praxidicae:, you moved my article to draft. Can you support me here, please? Mhmrodrigues (talk) 12:19, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@JJMC89: @EDG 543: @Praxidicae: @Spiderone: @Kbabej: Can someone explain me why was the draft deleted when it is the page that is in risk of deletion? I asked for time to submit my draft! Mhmrodrigues (talk) 14:40, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am guessing because it's wildly out of WP:SCOPE, as is this article. Please also don't mass ping users to AFD. CUPIDICAE💕 14:43, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, the user who performed the action merged the draft with this article, a questionable decision in my opinion. It does, however, clear up the space so that this article can be moved to the draftspace while it is under construction...If you would prefer that over potential deletion. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 14:44, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EDG 543 Now I'm confused. So, I didn't move the article to the draftspace in the first place...I'll have to create a new draft. Luckily I was afraid that this could happen and saved my editions elsewhere... Greetings, Mhmrodrigues (talk) 14:53, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This should not be moved to draft while the AFD is ongoing as it's still out of scope. CUPIDICAE💕 14:54, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Moved to a new draft! Praxidicae sorry, I've only seen your message now. I have to do something as no one is on my side... - Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:00, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae EDG 543 The alternative is to publish the family tree in the Malaspina family page... Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:02, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mhmrodrigues, friend, you should not have copy/pasted the article to the draft, it needed to be physically moved from here to there, which I or another editor could have done for you. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 15:05, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EDG 543 this is bad advice, as the AFD is already ongoing and has multiple comments from other people other than the nom and creator, it should not be moved to draftspace unless the AFD concludes it should be drafitified. Mhmrodrigues incorporating this into the main article is still inappropriate as Wikipedia is not a genealogy service and it requires original resesarch which is not allowed. CUPIDICAE💕 15:08, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae, I fully agree (I was the one who nominated it for deletion in the first place). However, the author insists that the article has much work to do, and I thought it at least deserved a chance as a draft while he completed it. Thanks, EDG 543 (message me) 15:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

EDG 543 Thank you for your support, but I would only add more branches. I've already recognized that this was a bad idea. Praxidicae I'll do, however, the table of rulers, in the Malaspina family page. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:30, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

strong delete per my previous comments. This is not a candidate for draftification or merging as it is in violation of the purpose of Wikipedia. This is not an ancestry service, every member of any given family with notable people does not make every single one themselves notable. It also requires original research and the family tree itself is not subject to independent reliable sources. CUPIDICAE💕 15:10, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae Ok, I understand your point. Very well, I won't oppose. I'll delete my draft myself. Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:21, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae I've emptied the draft, but I can't find the deletion button. Can you do it for me, please? Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae EDG 543 I've taken for example the German genealogical lists (Stammlists), but it seems that's not possible in the English Wikipedia. Sorry, I thought otherwise... Mhmrodrigues (talk) 15:29, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete.

Redirect to List of House Building Finance Corporation cricketers. Trivial pass of NCRIC but fails to meet GNG levels of sourcing.

Keep: The page's subject has received significant coverage in cited articles published by Inverse and Rebellious Magazine. The sources that are not necessarily about the company itself nevertheless mention the company and address products specifically released by the company, and are independent of said company. Minutes ago, I attempted to reduce the perceived promotional tone of the article's prose, and would appreciate help with further adjustments. —Matthew - (talk) 07:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- You say he sources that are not necessarily about the company itself. Therefore the sources cannot be used to establish notability of the company according to WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:43, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~: The page's subject has not received significant coverage. I understand that you wrote the article and want to keep it, but the rules of WP:GNG are clear. 1 source is from the company About Us page, 2 of the sources are gift guides, a 4th source doesn't even discuss the subject at all. It is about a designer, independent of the subject. A 5th source briefly mentions the subject's product in a product description along with dozens of others. It's not an article either. The 2 sourced articles from Dread Central aren't articles either. They are product reviews. The article from Fangoria is a dead link, there is no article. The source from Bloody Disgusting is the same product review already cited. There's 2 articles here that could be counted towards the subject. However, of the 2, I would not consider Rebellious Magazine a notable publication. It is a local publication that only services the Chicagoland area and rules are clear about those types of local publications as well. I'd be happy to help you rewrite the article when there is enough news about the subject to rewrite. The subject is not notable and it does not pass WP:GNG. The page is promotional content only, and therefore should be deleted. Megtetg34 (talk) 07:33, 25 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The criteria for establishing notability for companies/organizations is WP:NCORP and applies a stricter interpretation of requirements than for other topics. In short, WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria and having searched I am unable to locate any references that meet the criteria.

Comment Walrus Ji, having notable actors means nothing when proving notability for a film, read WP:NOTINHERITED. As for the film being a "blockbuster", could you provide a source for that claim other than your word? Donaldd23 (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He was a super star. It is rare for their films to be non notable. Even the business done by the movie at the rates of 1980 shows that it was a block buster. In addition the dialogues of that movie are even being published in newspapers of today [38] [39]. Passes WP:NFILM. Walrus Ji (talk) 20:44, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good case for keeping an article about the actor...but neither one of those articles mentions the film Bulundi. By my count, it still fails WP:NFILM Donaldd23 (talk) 21:40, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not forget that this is a Hindi movie. The two links I posted "DOES" mention the film. Just because you might not be able to read something, does not mean it does not exist. Walrus Ji (talk) 21:54, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I ran them through Google Translate and the quotes in the first link are not attributed to any film, they are just quotes. The second one does attribute quotes to a particular film, but I do not see this one listed. Also, quotes do not, in itself, make a film notable. There needs to be reviews WP:NFILM. Can you find any? Donaldd23 (talk) 22:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. Point 6 in my link 1 has the popular dialogue from this film along with the name of this film in Devnagri script. Even after forty years of its release the movie dialogues are quoted in newspapers. A good sign for WP:GNG Walrus Ji (talk) 16:24, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for notability since it was created in 2014. And I couldn't find substantial coverage that passes WP:COMPANY - most coverage seems to be PR, passing mentions or routine coverage. The article itself seems to be padded with sources that are PR, unrelated, unsubstantial, or about the founder rather than the company. Whisperjanes (talk) 07:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Excessively promotional article. I agree that there is a paucity of reliable sources to be found as those that turn up in searches are press releases and promotional pieces. Geoff | ^{Who, me?} 18:53, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep based on significant editing of page since nomination. I have significantly edited the page to meet requirements, with appropriate sources, however given how sparse the page is now, it may still not be sufficient to meet GNG. I think it is fair to say that the subject just scrapes by, but I have conducted a thorough internet search as well as a database search of Australian and NZ newspapers (which includes more content that what is freely available via Google etc) and there isn't a lot, certainly no truly significant coverage in reliable major sources. I also note the article's creator is a SPA and the page certainly was promotional and at least failed NPOV. Cabrils (talk) 01:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- @Cabrils: Thanks for your work in cleaning up the article and for finding those sources :) I personally don't think two sources is enough to pass notability - Or, if it is, it seems very borderline and doesn't seem to meet the WP:SUSTAINED part of notability yet (both sources are from the same week in October 2011) or the WP:CORPDEPTH part of organization notability that allows for more than "a very brief, incomplete stub". But I also don't have access to those sources (so I can't see the depth of them). Could you give some insight into what the two sources are about or what they say about the company, and/or could you share the links? - Whisperjanes (talk) 16:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Whisperjanes: Apologies for the belated response. I've added links to the articles found via the ProQuest database, but you might not be easily about to access them. In case you didn't know, the Sydney Morning Herald is a major Australian newspaper: "Tours cover fertile ground as the Crave food festival continues, writes Sandra Siagian. South-west's best: Victor Pisapia's food philosophy is simple: cook with local produce whenever possible. The chef and founder of VictorsFood, a company in Waterloo that runs cooking classes, training and food tours, says it is the main message behind his business. On his Regional Flavours tour during the Crave festival, Pisapia looks at the best produce south-west Sydney has to offer. He shares his favourite market spots around Leppington and includes trips to Campisi Fine Food & Deli, Bringelly Pork and Bacon smokehouse, Australian Mushroom Company and Leppington fig farm. Along the way there are cooking demonstrations, taste tests and an opportunity to meet growers. Pisapia describes the tour as "farm to plate". At the lunch stop, he cooks fruit, vegetables and pork collected earlier in the day. It could be fig salad, mushroom risotto, blue corn crepes or steamed tamales. There's also wine tasting. The tour departs and returns to Danks Street, Waterloo. Saturday, $165, 1300 206 163." and the North Shore Times is a local/suburban paper, so not very reputable: " IF YOU want to add a touch of drama to your culinary performance, not to mention the subtle flavour of a liqueur without the actual alcohol, then firing up a flambe is for you. Flambe means flaming or igniting foods that have had liquor or liqueur added to the pan to give the finished dish a little extra flavour. As a rule of thumb, choose liqueurs that have at least 40 per cent alcohol. Too much more and they may be too flammable, too little and they may fail to ignite. You should also choose a variety of alcohol that complements the food you are cooking. For instance, a fruit-flavoured brandy will suit fruit-based desserts, while whisky or cognac enhance meat. Victor Pisapia, who owns and runs VictorsFood which organises culinary experiences, including cooking classes and corporate events said there were some key rules to follow. Prepare your ingredients and equipment before you start and keep a large lid on hand in case you need to extinguish the flames. Use a special flambe pan or a large fry-pan with a long handle and heat the food before you add the alcohol or it won't flame. Never pour liquor from the bottle straight into the pan and definitely no walking around with the flaming pan in your hands. Details: victorsfood.com. au." I generally agree with your summary BTW.

Delete None of the references contain links so difficult to check, but I found the first reference here at the journalist's website.
