Unsourced since creation in 2009, and doesn't really say anything - fails to describe this ritual, merely says it takes place. Not encyclopedia-worthy. Googling produces mutliple copies of this text, little else. PamD 21:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Hinduism and India. PamD 21:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unsourced trivia that is unlikely to merit an article of its own. If (and only if) a reliable secondary source is located before this discussion closes, the page can be redirected to Hindu wedding, where a one line mention can be made of the ritual. Looking at the article history, the creator Prksh1 uploaded a programme for a 1938 royal wedding that had been in his family's possession, and then created a series of articles based on that primary document, including, The Marriage of a Prince of the Mysore Royal Family, Pade Puje, Khasa Pada Puje, Kankana Dharane, Balle Mallarada Puje, Shakunamanojaya, and Yenne Saastra. A few of these have been deleted or redirected (see this discussion), while the remaining persist as permanent unsourced stubs. I propose that whatever the consensus of this discussion also be applied to the remaining stubs. Pinging @PamD and TenPoundHammer: to check if they agree. Abecedare (talk) 23:16, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Fwiw, I doubt this article is a hoax. Pade puje literally means "feet worship" and ritualized cleaning of feet of idols, the elders, the venerated, the poor, etc is part of several Hindu rituals (cf Maundy (foot washing) and Wudu). So I wouldn't be surprised if in some regions and families, this custom exists as part of the wedding ceremony. Its just that the article, extrapolating from a single primary document, both extrapolates the custom to supposedly all "Hindu marriages" and simultaneously narrows it to "Hindu marriages".

  • Weak Keep. It is hard to find coverage due to the large number of minor mentions such as "so and so joined Snell & Wilmer", or its listing in various directories and lists of law firms (which is how I would classify the three "sources" mentioned above). I did fine this, which is also a list of firms but the writeup is reasonably long. There is an article about their philanthropy, and this book which appears to be independent.

    • The "Vault" book is entirely based on information provided (mainly by way of survey) by the company and their execs. It has zero "Independent Content", its just regurgitated marketing and PR. Fails WP:ORGIND. The newspaper clipping talks about how/why the firm collects art and their art collection - no in-depth information about the actual *company*, fails CORPDEPTH.

I haven't been able to conduct full WP:BEFORE checks for this, however, given that there's been 2 similar AfDs (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cascades, Hong Kong, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Easeful Court), and its notability has been subject to dispute among new page reviewers and established editors, I'm bringing up this here for a more definitive outcome. MarioGom (talk) 13:30, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you clarify, are the excerpts you added above the entirety of coverage of Shun On Estate in each article, or just a sampling? As written, most of these excerpts seem WP:ROUTINE, rather than proper secondary analysis. signed, Rosguill talk 14:42, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for restoring the article, NemesisAT (talk · contribs). Thank you for bringing this article to AfD, MarioGom (talk · contribs), to prevent an edit war from happening. From Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Redirection:

    A page can be blanked and redirected if there is a suitable page to redirect to, and if the resulting redirect is not inappropriate. If the change is disputed via a reversion, an attempt should be made to reach a consensus before blank-and-redirecting again. Suitable venues for doing so include the article's talk page and Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion.

    A redirect had been reverted in the past, so per the policy, it should not have been redirected again without a prior consensus.

    Cunard (talk) 05:59, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment While I'm unable to read the papers shared by Cunard, the excerpts do suggest there is significant coverage here. WP:ROUTINE is just an essay, the important guideline is WP:GNG which I feel has been met. NemesisAT (talk) 14:48, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, I got WP:ROUTINE confused with WP:MILL. The WP:ROUTINE argument used above is invalid as that is a notability guideline for events. NemesisAT (talk) 14:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    You're right about the links being mixed up, but the concern about routine coverage is still relevant to this discussion, as routine coverage is trivial and fails the GNG criterion of significant coverage. signed, Rosguill talk 14:52, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't agree that the coverage is trivial. If an article has multiple paragraphs (for example) on the construction of the tower blocks, then that counts as significant coverage in my view. NemesisAT (talk) 11:06, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    These are not excerpts from the newspaper article. These are newspaper headlines. Each newspaper article spends at least several paragraphs discussing Shun On Estate. The sustained extensive coverage in reliable sources allow the public housing estate to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. WP:ROUTINE redirects to Wikipedia:Notability (events)#Routine coverage. A public housing estate is not an event. As a public housing estate, Shun On Estate is owned by the Hong Kong Housing Authority, a government agency. "Routine coverage" should not be applied to newspaper articles about public housing estates. Cunard (talk) 07:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep' The Chinese sources contain substantive coverage of the subject and easily satisfy the notability guidelines. This is a very unsatisfactory AfD: the nominator explicitly did not do WP:BEFORE and some editors seem to dismiss the Chinese sources very cursorily without being able to read them. Atchom (talk) 02:03, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are sufficient WP:RS providing the WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:GNG...Bringing an article to AfD causes lots of editors to spend a significant amount of time evaluating whether it should be kept or deleted. Rather than waste untold hours of people's time, a set of actions to be taken before nominating an article for deletion has been established. This is not optional! Bringing an article to AfD without performing adequate BEFORE is disrespectuful of the value of other editors time. If you can't or won't perform a thorough WP:BEFORE, please wait to until you can before nominating it. There is no deadline to delete an article that's been around for 13 years, why rush to nominate it and waste other people's time until you've taken the time to do the basic verification steps that have been established by consensus?

Non-notable political party - can't find any refs under the English translation or the Nepali transliteration of the name. Nepali-script name not present, so can't search by that. ♠PMC(talk) 07:31, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • This one is was tricky so I'll leave my logic here to see if it makes sense to anyone else: So first I noticed that there is a corresponding version in Bangla Wikipedia; a search in that language revealed literally nothing. After translating the party naming into Nepali using Google Translate, I searched with that and found this Wikidata item ([1]) that links to Nepali and two other languages; I think that is the same party as this. Then after looking some more, I discovered that an article here that has the same name, Samajbadi Janata Party (look at the alternative name). Both articles were created by the same user, 3 years apart. This is a long-winded way of saying I think these are the same article, and so one should be redirected into the other (I would recommend this one into that one, as the other one is more complete). If it is determined that my logic is not sound and these are different parties, then the leader of this party, Dhundi Raj Shastri, is notable per WP:NPOL ([2]), so that could be an alternative redirect target if the article gets made. Curbon7 (talk) 09:58, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Lots of political parties in Nepal have very similar names (look at Category:Political parties in Nepal for more examples), so the fact that Prajatantrik Samajwadi Manch Nepal and Samajbadi Janata Party have faintly similar names is hardly evidence that they are the same party. Soman, the article creator, specializes in creating articles for obscure political parties and he knows enough about what he's doing that I don't believe he would have thoughtlessly created a duplicate article.
    As to your second point, the Dhundi Raj Shastri in your source is from the Nepali Congress, the largest political party in Nepal. I can't find any indication that he split from NC to form an obscure splinter party. Without positive evidence, we can't assume it's the same person - plenty of people worldwide have the same name, after all. (The Dhundi Raj Shastri from the NC is an NPOL pass on the merits of being elected though). ♠PMC(talk) 09:13, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks to be promotional, poorly sourced - publications named but not linked, which makes one wonder if sources exist or actually source content - and problems not addressed since creation. When it was put up for deletion before, it was kept largely due to promises it would be cleaned up. That has not happened.

Created and edited by one or two SPAs, and recent one is adding promotional content only sourced to a YouTube video. I'd speedy it if not for the multiple editors. - CorbieVreccan 20:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - None of the reasons given by the nominator is based on deletion policy. Previous promises to clean up the not being kept is not a reason to delete, nor is poor sourcing, editing by SPAs etc. The article needs a lot of work to make it an acceptable encyclopaedic article, but articles that are in bad shape is specifically not a reason to delete per policy.
I'd speedy it if not for the multiple editors I don't see any of the criteria of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Pages that have survived deletion discussions that would be applicable here. --John B123 (talk) 21:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is no justification for deleting this article. Many of the previous issues with the article have been fixed with the recent updates. If there are flaws still, they can be fixed. Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater now--Ajax151 (talk), 25 April 2022.
Ajax151, your recent edits led me to do this. You haven't fixed it, you've just added "sourcing" cites that are predominantly bare url links to her own website. Other citations mention publications, but when one clicks on the "link", there is no linked source. At first glance, they appear to be proper citations, linked to the media they cite, but they are only wikilinked to the WP articles about the publications; there is no link to go check to see if the source cites the content.
If you want this article to stay, read WP:CITE or WP:REFB and WP:RS, put the content you've added into the format Wikipedia uses, use sources that aren't the BLP subject's personal site, and actually clean this up. - CorbieVreccan 18:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on talk: @Ajax151: you are continuing to mark your edits things like "adding inline citations" when all you are doing is wikifying a word or name of a publication. Similarly, bare urls are not the format for inline citations, either. Above, I gave you the link for how to WP:CITE sources. You need to use Wikipedia formatting and actually add inline cites or these are not really improvements. And nothing has been done about the tone and primary sources problem. - CorbieVreccan 18:50, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    @GiantSnowman According to the sources listed in User:Bring back Daz Sampson/Professionalism in Swedish football, the Swedish league was not professional during that period. Professionalism in football was only allowed in 1967 but even in 1998 less than half of the players where fully professional. Alvaldi (talk) 09:34, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Fails WP:GNG due to lack of significant coverage. No significant coverage in the article and none has been presented here. I was also unable to find anything on the subject during an online search, including in Swedish sources. According to the article, he played 5 seasons for Malmö, appearing in 23 matches. During the same five seasons, Malmö played 130 league matches so there is no evidence that he was a significant player of that team. Alvaldi (talk) 16:35, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Alvaldi: The player is from the 1930s to 1940s, before the internet, not all players will be recorded to the internet since then. Your argument for deletion appears to based on what the internet has, it's more highly likely that one would need to search archived newspapers, what can be a problem due to the time period, hence WW2. I strongly suggest you consider the possibility of off-line sources otherwise your argument for deletion is only one sided. Govvy (talk) 11:00, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Govvy I did consider offline sources, due to the concerns that you mention, but unfortunately came to the conclusion that there no evidence that this was a notable player. Notable players in my experience usually have some traces of coverage in modern times, even if it is just "player x starred at team y", but in Nilsson's case I couldn't find any traces of coverage. The only thing I know is that he played in roughly 17% of his teams game during a 5 year period which does not indicate a notable player. If someone finds any kind of evidence of his notabily, I am more than happy to reconsider my !vote.
    On a sidenote, I did theorise that this Nilsson is the same person as Karl-Erik Nilsson (wrestler) who are both from Malmö and possibly in a similar age range (Nilson the Wrestler would have been aged 15-20 during the years in question) but couldn't find any sources that linked them together.

  • Comment There are several people with this name, there is certainly a lot lacking with the article. Only one source provided, however that does raise more questions than answers about the player. However what annoys me about the delete arguments, is the simple fact of unawareness of football article structure. This is forgetting the fact this can be a redirect to List of Malmö FF players (1–24 appearances), until a more comprehensive article is built. I really don't also get what people have against sports stub articles. The point of a stub here is pretty clear, tells us a few things. This is a valid article in many respects and I certainly have nothing against it. Govvy (talk) 11:15, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Redirect to List of Malmö FF players (1–24 appearances) is in my opinion also perfectly acceptable. Alvaldi (talk) 13:10, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Govvy Several other Malmö FF players from the same era that where created by the same editor with the same single offline source, where redirected to List of Malmö FF players (1–24 appearances) for failing WP:GNG/WP:BASIC and WP:NFOOTY as they "did not play in a competitive game between two teams from fully-professional leagues."

  • Keep - the nomination completely ignores the long standing consensus about footballers from this era. I can't even find any 1930s Swedish newspaper or magazine archives. Nfitz (talk) 23:24, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The community consensus is clear on all athletes must pass GNG. Per WP:LOCALCONSENSUS, consensus among a limited group of editors, at one place and time, cannot override community consensus on a wider scale. Alvaldi (talk) 23:57, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If you are referring to the recent RFC, it didn't address examples like this. The focus was very much on modern athletes, with some talk of early English players. I tried to raise the question of how we deal with bias against players where we don't have good online resources in the appropriate language - but there discussion became so convoluted, that there wasn't addressed. That leaves us to look to past AFD discussions for consensus. Nfitz (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
!Votes need to be based on what current guidelines actually say, not what you wish they said or your interpretation of past AfDs. NSPORTS is the relevant guideline and covers athletes from all eras, not just modern ones. –dlthewave 05:13, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ridiculous that people are being harassed for not being able to find online sources for a pre-Internet player from a non-English speaking country. The fact that a book exists offline and is being used indicates it's likely that other such books exist. Deleting simply because none of us have access to offline Swedish language book sources is ridiculous and a clear WP:BIAS, based on the player's nationality and era. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:49, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Joseph2302 Asking people politely to show evidence of their claims is not something that could be considered as harassment. Regarding the book in question, there is no evidence that it covered the subject in detail. As I listed in an answer to Goovy above, there where several other similar articles created of Malmö players by the same editor with the same set of information (name, position, total games, total goals) using the same book as source which indicates that the information in it about these players where just database listings. Furthermore, almost all those articles where later redirected to List of Malmö FF players (1–24 appearances) for failing GNG and for not having played in games involving two professional teams. So I kindly ask, what evidence do we have that the subject, who during his career didn't appear in 83% of his teams games in a seemingly non-professional league, is notable? Alvaldi (talk) 09:13, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Joseph2302, Stifle cited a guideline that no longer exists so of course they were asked to clarify. –dlthewave 12:12, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Insufficient participation on the delete side to claim a genuine consensus, but the keep votes seem very misguided, ignoring recent developments, and claiming local consensus rather than GNG is most important.

  • Delete. NFOOTY was deprecated specifically because recent consensus determined mere participation was not a reliable predictor of GNG. Arguments appealing to a non-existent guideline must be ignored, including claims that "offline sources must exist" (since such claims are themselves based entirely on unsubstantiated predictions from NFOOTY). And WP:BEFORE does NOT require nominators to VPN into restricted news archives, that is a completely unreasonable expectation. JoelleJay (talk) 21:36, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Johnpacklambert made this comment at 18:35 UTC. At 18:34 UTC he editing Stan Wood and at 18:33 UTC he was editing Robert J. Wood, and then two other pages at 18:32. It's implausible that he read the previous comments, and examined the sources himself - let alone did any searching for sources. I'd suggest that whoever close this AFD, disregard JPL's drive-by deleting. Nfitz (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sources? There is one source, and it doesn't take long to determine that an article cannot meet WP:GNG with one source. Further, if you have issues with his contributions to AFD, the correct place to discuss this is his talk page or ANI rather than casting aspersions of drive-by deleting. BilledMammal (talk) 22:37, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • One source? I linked a potential 11 sources in my comment above. Also, this is hardly an isolated action - his actions at AFD have been discussed in both of his current topic bans. Nfitz (talk) 22:51, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • You linked a search with eleven results. Given that you haven't examined those results, it's unreasonable to expect that other editors will examine them for you.

BilledMammal (talk) 22:57, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

          For the record, of those 11 sources, one seems to be about the wrestler of same name, the others seem to either list him in team lineups and/or are game recaps. Alvaldi (talk) 23:02, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          Ah - that one must be Karl-Erik Nilsson (wrestler), also from Malmo; I hadn't searched after 1943, 5-years before I thought he appeared. Between the wrestler and our subject's teammate Erik Nilsson, this is a challenging search. I couldn't tell from the OCR'ed snippets how extensive the non-boxscores were - did you get the full text or image? Nfitz (talk) 03:03, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It could be probable that the wrester and the footballer is the same person, but I haven't seen any evidence making it the same person. Govvy (talk) 09:00, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While there is a strong possiblity this is the same person as the Olympic wrestler, we have no sources that prove he is that person. If he is that person he would have been 15-20 when he was playing soccer. This again shows what other sources indicate, that playing soccer in the league in question was not notable at the time. The very fact we have not been able to find any sources that indicate this person is the same person as the wrestler, or on the other hand any sources that bother to say the wresler was not the same person of the same name who had played soccer in Sweden just before this, indicates that this soccer playing was not a notable action and so not enough to merit an article. If we do find sources at some point that indicate the wrestler had been a soccer player we can add them, otherwise this is a non-notable person. Olympic amateurism rules at the time may have made the soccer player actively conceal past even semi-pro wrestling, but Wikipedia needs verifiability not our own speculation, so we need reliable sources that prove this one way or to other to say anything on the matter. Without them we need to delete this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • This article never actually met any criteria for football inclusion, because the play was not done in a fully professional league. The fact that it has taken over 13 days to get this deleted is part of what really frustrates some editors about the special treatment we give to clearly not at all notable footballers who no one has ever bothered writting substantially about.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:26, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'd considered whether they were the same person or not, but I'd assumed not - but obviously difficult to be sure. I don't think 13 days is a huge issue for a 10-year old article. Nfitz (talk) 16:09, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to a list of players for Malmö per above. This is a deeply flawed AfD on a difficult subject, but as it's currently a super-stub that nobody can currently develop, a redirect is best as the history would be retained if someone wants to develop this.

  • Time and time again we have to tell you that playing for a national team is NOT a valid argument to keep an article. If a national team does not play at meaningful level, their players certainly aren't notable for playing for them. When will this finally get through to you?? And even if a national team does reach a significant level, that doesn't make every player that was ever called-up for them, even without actually playing, automatically notable.

Ficaia. Have you even looked at the article this morning? MonFrontieres expanded it yesterday evening with additional sources that you would have found yourself if, as GiantSnowman has emphasised, you had actually carried out WP:BEFORE ahead of coming here with your no evidence claim. Your nominations are a waste of everyone else's time and I'm now seriously considering ANI to propose that you are barred from AfD.

I meant that there is no SNG for football; NFOOTY points to NSPORTS which requires significant coverage.

That's not part of the guideline and it will in any case require another RfC to implement. Even if it does pass, articles will still require that GNG be met, which doesn't seem to be the case here. Nobody is forcing you to spend your time on this if you think it's a waste. Avilich (talk) 15:24, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Guidelines are only guidelines, and are written to implement long-standing consensus. And while removing NFOOTBALL might be justification to delete some marginal players, to start nominating international players on top teams, with media coverage is not appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nfitz (talkcontribs) 23:54, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Really? You're basing your keep rationale on a nonexistant guideline??Tvx1 15:03, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - international player, lots of coverage. Another poor nomination. Given how poorly female African players are covered in Wikipedia, and that this player easily meets long-standing consensus, we should avoid WP:BIAS. Nfitz (talk) 23:54, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. "International player" is not a notability criterion (and never was!), and with the deprecation of NFOOTY it's now not even a predictor of SIGCOV. The only notability metric applicable to this player is GNG, which she does not meet. Arguments based on a deprecated subguideline should be summarily ignored -- which means the closer should disregard literally all of the keep !votes. JoelleJay (talk) 21:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I added a couple of references - this one in particular meets GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC has been met. Nfitz (talk) 22:30, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If that's the best of the references I don't think it makes it. GNG requires multiple sources and the coverage has to be significant. I've read the article and it doesn't seem to address the subject directly and in detail, there is very little biographical information which can be extracted. Given the nature of the source I am not sure it would have any particular reputation for fact checking and therefore overall reliability. i.e. it might be useful as one of a number of sources to meet GNG (though I think that could be challenged), but certainly I don't think it cuts it on it's own. (I'd also note unless I'm reading this wrong it suggests the article has been viewed about 1500 times, which hardly seems to speak of significant interest). The other reference seems to only note her as a goal scorer, so doesn't seem to help the GNG case--81.100.164.154 (talk) 19:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That looks like a good RS, but it is an article on the team in general with only a few quotes and basic biographical info on Mervat herself -- not SIGCOV. Again, SPORTBASIC requires multiple SIGCOV sources for presumption of GNG notability. JoelleJay (talk) 20:00, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not about the whole team, discussing a handful of players. There's 3 paragraphs mostly about her and her teammate, including their side-hustle. It's certainly the best reference I've found in English. Also NSPORTS and WP:SPORTBASIC were recently revised per the RFC so that Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources was added. There's no firm rule that there has to be more than one GNG source. And the last place we should ignoring this new guideline is in an article about a non-white, non-English-speaking, non-male international player! If we don't consider this new guideline when we have a triple WP:BIAS situation - when do we consider it? Nfitz (talk) 22:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      You keep quoting that sentence, but you keep forgetting the second sentence: Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article. That guideline does not make one source sufficient to keep the article. If we can find one it means that it is worth looking further and a WP:PROD is not justified, but if we can't find more the article still needs to be deleted at AFD.
      As for the source, I agree with JoelleJay that it is not SIGCOV of Rashwan. BilledMammal (talk) 22:19, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then why is it even there? It's there because there are going to be situations where there are likely sufficient sources - this isn't a Canadian international player where we can easily search everything published. Obviously you are about to disagree with me - but you tell me why you think that sentence is there? Besides - the criteria failure to have multiple (or even one) GNG source isn't a firm rule. We are all aware that the failure to meet these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted! Nfitz (talk) 04:10, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's there to stop articles being created without any significant coverage (per the original proposal), and it is there to make it easier to delete articles without any significant coverage (per the closer and the responses to the proposal). BilledMammal (talk) 04:17, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Coverage is just around the GNG line, and her sporting achievement is the type that would normally be found in an encyclopaedia. If not kept, a viable redirect target should be found (or created.) SportingFlyer T·C 13:28, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Per the source table above, the coverage is not significant enough to confer notability. International players are not automatically notable by community consensus, and !votes relying on that should be disregarded. And while I am all about avoiding WP:BIAS, lots of stubs about non-notable football players isn't the way to fix that. agtx 17:24, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as above, no significant coverage the source added isn't that persuasive for me as to if it contributes to WP:GNG at all, let alone be enough on it's own to not warrant additional good quality sources. --81.100.164.154 (talk) 18:23, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No significant coverage of the subject exists. Being an international player does not yield notability by itself. Why the same people keep using that similar fallacious argument in every similar AFD despite being refuted EVERY time is beyond me.Tvx1 15:03, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This isn't a biography, it's a description of an unfortunate but not notable event. Just having reliable sources isn't sufficient for an encyclopedia article. WP:GNG says significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject merits its own article. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

  • Delete - sad story, but there's a difference between local coverage of something like this and reliable sources that confer notability on a broader scale. Plus, the portion regarding the treatment reads like an advertisement, which strikes me as problematic in a big way. I mean, one of them's even got the registered trademark symbol. I reviewed some of the references, and don't see any mention of the specific treatment in the news sources, unless I missed something someplace.

Sorry Fram but I'm stealing your reasoning. Recently, a number of similar articles have been created, and I'm unclear whether they are a good idea. We already have categories for these, they are not a notable topic as a group, they are not a set index (as described at Wikipedia:Set index articles), and we could have a nearly endless supply of such lists. Not to mention these are all already linked on their main articles.

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of articles about Cameron Diaz PRAXIDICAE💕 15:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. While these are slightly better than the Cameron Diaz one, it makes little sense to e.g. create such a list for Kylie Minogue, and then add it as "related articles" to an already existing, better template with all these articles[13]. The same has been done for e.g. Pretty Little Liars[14]. In general, if there aren't too many articles, the main artcle + category + search bar are sufficient: if there are more articles, usually a navigational template already exists. Fram (talk) 15:55, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete. There are a number of other List of articles about pages that have been created prior to these ones, for example List of articles about Australia and New Zealand jointly. So, I don't understand why these are not worthy of creation, as in Michael Jackson, Madonna and Kylie Minogue's example, as these people have several articles related to them, and in my experience category pages (like Category:Michael Jackson, Category:Madonna and Category:Kylie Minogue) have often been messy and filled with other articles that don't directly link to the person themselves. Basically, I think of these ones I've created for Michael Jackson, Madonna and Kylie Minogue as neat versions of their respective Category articles. Samuelloveslennonstella (talk) 22:39, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's a much broader subject matter and highly relevant. Every individual, particularly in entertainment does not need a list like this as it's all linked in the template already. This is nothing short of disruption. PRAXIDICAE💕 22:41, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all - The articles were all created recently by Samuelloveslennonstella, who perhaps saw a gap in Wikipedia's organization of articles. Kudos for your interest in helping out, but all of these new list articles are a solution to a problem that does not exist, and they just add clutter. As noted by everyone above, Wikipedia is already equipped with various types of categories, templates, and navigation boxes that serve this purpose. If you think those are deficient in some fashion, start discussions in the proper places to suggest improvements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:45, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reason we have a rash of index type articles in the past few years.....is that 60+% (mobile users) don't see nav templates or categories..... thus most don't see any navigational aid.

This is another article that is little more than a collection of mostly uncited trivia. If you want this type of content, go to TV Tropes. Their purpose is to list every single time that random things have appeared in various fictional works. This is not Wikipedia's job, however. There is also a clear issue with the scope of the article. No attempt was made to create reasonable criteria for inclusion here. This list is an indiscriminate collection of tangentially related things. Many of the examples given are not even usages of the classical elements. Instead, several other elements are discussed here. Honestly, this article is probably too broad to exist. At best, this might be a candidate for destruction and recreation. However, the sheer number of times that creators have used the classical elements in their works likely precludes the recreation of this article. ―Susmuffin Talk 13:17, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As the one who restored the article in the first place, I did so because I knew Zack had plenty of sources discussing him, and I found some. Screen Rant and CBR, while not as strong of a source as A.V. Club, are still reliable, unless they are being cited for exceptional claims or for BLPs (Zack Morris is a character), per WP:RSPSOURCES (which lists Screen Rant as such, and CBR is owned by the same company), especially for opinions pieces (WP:RSOPINION). Plus, here's an article by LA Times and another by Rolling Stone, as well as NPR and Thought Catalog. And this book, while I don't have access to it beyond the Google preview, seems to do a lot of discussion on Zack. Here's another book that discusses him. Zack Morris is a pretty iconic character, so I'm sure there's even more out there. Notability is clearly met here. MoonJet (talk) 04:04, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can see that Moonjet has cited additional sources not mentioned by me or covered in the article's prose at the time of writing. I haven't analyzed the sources in depth and I don't follow the TV franchise at all, but I get the impression that the character has left some sort of cultural impact and so deletion should not be an option to contemplate..

    Per MOS:POPCULT: "Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. Rather, all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article. This source should cover the subject of the article in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item." See also WP:NOTPLOT, WP:IPCV and this 2015 RFC on the topic. I find it very unlikely that most of the article's content is discussed in secondary sources.

  • Delete per WP:IINFO.

Not-so notable event that got cancelled due to the pandemic. If this information is really important, it could be summarised in 1-2 lines at 2022 Commonwealth Games article. Also note that most of the events in Category:Sports events cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic are redirects. Peter Ormond 💬 10:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tentative agree - I would quibble on the 'not-so-notable', that's a pure opinion - I would argue given the quite well publicised politics behind the original creation of a new championship event, and the tensions it revealed, and the unique status that was going to be given to medals (included in second table linked to main 2022 Commonwealth Games), it certainly did reach notability - and would have kept it IF the event had actually taken place.
But its cancellation - without word of any successor event - probably justifies reducing it to a paragraph ( a bit more than two lines, though) in a 'controversies' part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games front page. On that basis, I would agree with the deletion. Mpjmcevoybeta (talk) 13:42, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, a number of similar articles have been created, and I'm unclear whether they are a good idea. We already have categories for these, they are not a notable topic as a group, they are not a set index (as described at Wikipedia:Set index articles), and we could have a nearly endless supply of such lists.

For this specific example, the articles about Cameron Diaz are already easily found by:

  • The search bar
  • The Cameron Diaz article
  • The Cameron Diaz category

it with the English word 'Wine'? But, in fact, there is no relation between the two words. Wyne has historically been used as a tribal family name in Punjab. I remember working on his still existing Wikipedia article Ghulam Haider Wyne on 3 September 2021. Added 2 more references to that article today (the article already had many newspaper references). This above article Wyne (tribe) was created in 2013 by someone and has been neglected and unsourced since then like many others we run into. Anyone of us may try to find references on Google Books for it where I usually have luck for tribal names. I'll also try to look for them soon. Ngrewal1 (talk) 19:33, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment the sources added to the article are of no use in establishing that “Wyne” is the name of a “tribe”. They merely establish that it is a surname. The fact that a few people share a surname does not establish the existence of a “tribe” - apparently there are no sources at all that do that. Mccapra (talk) 07:39, 17 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion First since Wyne sounded too close to the English word 'Wine', it might have been a hoax – which was understandable to me. Now that 4 newspaper references were located and provided to establish that notable people in Pakistan have been using it as their family or surname, the word 'tribe' can be changed in the article title. I suggest that we 'Move page' to make the article title Wyne (name) or Wyne (surname). Many already existing Wikipedia articles have titles like that.

Parallels among the three leagues are not explored in any significant way, the list of entries indicates that there aren't that many parallels which could sustain an article, and the rest of ANZ's professional sports are ignored completely. Overall I don't believe a valid article under this title can be written - in that I don't see a reason for different sports to be combined by country like this. One alternative to outright deletion would be splitting into articles named Relocation of teams in the Australian Football League, Relocation of teams in the National Rugby League and Relocation of teams in the A-League – but I'd also oppose this on the grounds that those leagues' and clubs' history pages should and already do cover the subject adequately.

WP:BLP of an entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for businesspeople. As always, being CEO of a company is not an automatic notability freebie that guarantees inclusion in Wikipedia -- the notability test is the reception of enough third-party coverage and analysis in real media to pass WP:GNG. But this is referenced overwhelmingly to sources that are not valid support for notability -- WordPress blogs, his own company's self-published press releases about itself, cryptocurrency news forums, etc. -- and the very few sources that do appear to be legitimate media outlets aren't covering him as a subject, but all just glancingly namecheck his existence as a provider of soundbite in articles about something else, and that's not the kind of "coverage" we're looking for.

Article about a song by a band who don't have a Wikipedia article, not making any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The article is long and detailed enough that I don't feel comfortable speedying it A9, but the problem is that the detail in it isn't reliably sourced to real media coverage about the song: it's referenced 50 per cent to WordPress blogs and podcasts, and 50 per cent to a five-stacked reference bomb offering purely tangential verification of the existence of a different band whose video for a different song was supposedly a "sequel" to the video for this one, except absolutely none of the sources actually support that claim at all — they just verify that the other band exists, while completely failing to mention any connection whatsoever to this song or the band that recorded this song. Which means that the article is referenced exactly zero per cent to reliable sourcing that establishes the notability of this song. Bearcat (talk) 03:06, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Not my area but I'm unsure that the other two scales are unnotable; there's a lot of publications on different ways of measuring hardness; the first one I clicked on was a 1974 Scientific American review[16] that discusses the Wooddell scale, which it calls the Moh–Wooddell scale, for several meaty paragraphs with a table. I don't see why this falls under WP:Synth. At very least, as I suggested when I removed the prod, it should be merged into the relevant section in the article on hardness. Espresso Addict (talk) 09:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It's suggesting a connection between the Mohs scale and two other scales that aren't notable on their own, using only publications by the creators of those two scales. Why those two scales and not some other ones? What part of this even suggests there's a link? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 14:20, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Purely off the top of my head: the Mohs scale is a method of determining hardness by scratching one material with another, invented c.1820. A child can use it but it has numerous problems for scientific use, in particular it is skewed so that nearly every material of interest is right at the top end. According to the Sci Am review I linked, which you can read as well as I can, the Wooddell scale is a 1935 attempt to fix this problem, by scaling the Mohs values. I assume the other scale mentioned is another such attempt. Other methods of measuring hardness don't use scratching but rather pressing or something else. This is also explained in the review.
It seems a coherent and important encyclopedic topic, which is readily sourced. Keep. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:44, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it being compared to two random, arbitrary scales that don't seem notable on their own, though? Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 01:34, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Er, what part of what I wrote is unclear? Espresso Addict (talk) 02:38, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Are the other two scales notable? Probably not. To make an article comparing three things, when two of those three don't have articles, is putting the cart before the horse at best. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 02:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I also get zero hits for "Ridgway's Scale" and "Woodall's Scale" other than the Wikipedia article. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 02:41, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Try correcting the spelling? Or searching in more specialised places? Something published in 1935 might not be all that well reviewed on the internet.
As to the more general point, the article is correctly discussing three similar entities, two of which might not need their own articles. I'm genuinely baffled as to the problem here. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:56, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That it's being compared to two entities that don't have their own article is the problem. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 03:04, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"compared to two random, arbitrary scales"
Historically, at worst, Ridgway and Wooddell extended Mohs to specific synthetic materials industries, while Mohs was a field mineralogist.
"Scratch hardness" is certainly a notable thing, having encountered it many times in multiple youth education systems.
I get it that Ridgway's and Wooddell's papers are primary, but they clearly exist as practical improvements to Mohs to make the material hardness measurement method more functional for industry. A relatively likely situation here is that the OP is familiar with hardness scales in some fields where either Ridgway or Woodall scales are known, so, I hackle at the "random" appellation that strikes me personally as presumptively NPOV. "Random" is speculative. Mohs is "arbitrary" by definition.
I suggest searching on the titles "Hardness Values for Electrochemical Products" and "Method of Comparing the Hardness of Electric Furnace Products and Natural Abrasives", which turns up more books and papers citing Ridgway, et al, 1933, or Wooddell 1935 than I have time to assess.

    Mineralogical hardness or "scratch" hardness is as expressed in Mohs scales is an important property in evaluating abrasive materials, but it is only one of several essential properties ...
    both "scratch" hardness and toughness must be considered. ...
    The Mohs scale is inadequate both because the methods of testing are very crude and because the intervals between steps in the scale are not uniform. ...

When synthetic abrasive materials become widely available at the beginning of this century, R.R. Ridgway and his co- workers, finding they needed more numbers at the high end of the scale, modified Mohs' scheme. C.E. Wooddell measured how much various minerals resisted wearing down with diamond abrasives, which allowed a finer categorization between the Mohs numbers of 9 and 10. Ridgway arbitrarily shifted the value of diamond to 15 on the scale instead of 10, which allowed them to assign hardness numbers of 12 to fused alumina, 13 to silicon carbide, and 14 to boron carbide.
  • Francis P. Bundy (1974). "Superhard Materials". Scientific American. 231 (2): 62–71. Retrieved 2022-04-21. Wooddell indexed his scale by assigning quartz and corundum their Mohs values of 7 and 9, and the scale is therefore called the Mohs-Wooddell scale.
Don't Delete (not the same as "Keep") based on the notability of Ridgway and Wooddell relative to Mohs, they are the extension of Mohs into 20th Century science.

First, this is a delete discussion, but it has ranged into development of the topic.
But, the page presently is missing clear definitions of scratch hardness (especially as compared to the other types of hardness) and scratch test (broad and narrow definitions).
I have just skimmed Ridgway 1933, and it has an interesting ​history of the topic. (link when I get out of bed tomorrow)
2.) If it's not about alternate scales, why does that take up more of the article ...
A) It is a stub. B) From Ridgway 1933, we see there are multiple scratch test methods.

  • A clear keep since the subject is beyond any doubt notable, widely written-about, widely used. Further, there is nothing SYNTH about tabulating the hardness of a set of materials by three different measures. That is merely collating verifiable information to give a reader an overview of what the scales do. Elemimele (talk) 06:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • We don't have good coverage of all topics, not just engineering. People recognize poor coverage in their own fields, but it's actually poor coverage in all fields.

    This wasn't the easiest to search for sources for, since sometimes I actually have the books on my bookshelf, but the very first Google Books result for me was ISBN 9780080942452 where a professor of mechanical engineering devotes the whole of §6.6 to scratch hardness. Two sources, you say? Easy as pie! The third result of the same search was David Tabor's 1951 book The Hardness of Metals, which has good introductory level material on scratch hardness in, unsurprisingly, its introduction on pages 1 to 3.

    Atkins tells us that there's a whole distinct second measurement of scratch hardness that isn't Mohs's. It's Thomas Turner's sclerometer. Add in that name and '"Hardness of Metals", Trans. Birm. Phil. Soc. 1886' and entire bibliographies on scratch hardness start turning up, and then a 1934 book by Hugh O'Neill on The Hardness of Metals and its Measurement that brings in Adolf Martens's quantification of Turner, as mentioned, and indeed as cited by, Atkins. None of those are in the article at hand. So yes, this is clearly a poor stub with plenty of scope for expansion.

  • Delete. Having a cast list and soundtrack section is never a standard of notability. This film has no meaningful coverage. 114.125.125.172 (talk) 01:13, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - This is the entirety of what I was able to find. [17], [18], [19]. To 114.125, I'd suggest that having a highly notable cast and a soundtrack album by a very significant indie label is a pretty decent indication of notability, but certainly not proof. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 02:05, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tony Vitale[edit]

Unfortunately, this article does not seem to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. That is to say nothing of Mr. Vitale personally, but I can't find anything that makes this seem a notable topic for the encyclopedia, unfortunately.

While not necessarily a rationale for deletion, this article has been heavily edited by someone who seems to be the subject, User:Tvdowntown.

    • Comment I also just want to mention to Tony that I have nothing against him personally- I'm a huge fan of Tastytrade and I wish I could've found a way where I didn't have to nominate this article for deletion. TraderCharlotte (talk) 22:36, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Hello TraderCharlotte. I have now been asked to add my commentary here regarding your nomination for the article, Tony Vitale, to be deleted. It seems like Sdrqaz mentioned that I should add the conversation here as opposed to, or in addition to, where we have been shading the discussion about my article. I feel I have supplied ample information and resources for my work. I have also agreed that Jade Lizard should be removed. Since you did not respond to my defense, I followed the instructions and removed the template, however once again, I may have done something wrong as I am not as savvy as you, nor Sdrqaz with the intracies of commununication on Wiki. I am, however, proud of my accomplishments as they are in line with other filmmakers who have made feature films. I have also included my New York Times interview where my film was on the cover of the Sunday Arts and Leisure section in 1997. I referenced articles like that as well as many others, yet for some reason, you are still choosing to mention that they are not acceptable. Please let me know when this discussion is complete so that I can remove the template, as per my understand as to how Wikipedia works:
      Hello TraderCharlotte, it appears you have requested that my Wiki page be deleted, though I am not sure why you feel this way. The original article was published by a journalist, and a fan of my first film, KISS ME, GUIDO. Since that time, I have made edits to the article and believed that I was doing it correctly with the proper references. There are many filmmakers who have had their films, and their body of work (some with much less credibility than I), added to Wikipedia, so I am not sure why you have chosen mine for deletion. I see that you are, or have an affiliation with tastytrade. If I mentioned anything that was written about tastytrade that you do not think it is worthy, then please make the necessary edit. However, please let m know why you think my entire page shod be deleted so I can address your concern. Thank you.

To be clear to anyone reading this- I'm not affiliated with Tastytrade besides sometimes emailing people on the network. This misunderstanding has already been cleared up on Tvdowntown's talk page. TraderCharlotte (talk) 02:23, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
