As we all know, being a writer and appearing on various TV programs doesn't constitute WP:SIGCOV. A person needs to actually be written about in order to be notable. The sources here are all either pieces that he has written, trivial mentions, or simply links to websites about TV shows (websites that don't mention him). I can find no indication that Grasso has been written about in sufficient independent sources to support a claim of notability. ♠PMC(talk) 23:40, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Although a sad incident, WP:NOTNEWS applies as this is unfortunately not an unusual occurrence these days. No indication this event will be particularly more notable than the many before or will happen after. At the *very best*, it's WP:TOOSOON to know if it will have any lasting impact. Bungle (talkcontribs) 19:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

1. While there were thankfully no fatalities, fifteen injured is a significant number for any event, especially since several of those injured were police officers and children. Even if vehicle rammings are thought of as a "common occurrence", this one has impacted a particularly large number of people.
2. A prominent native American politician, Jonathan Nez, was also in attendance to this tragedy and narrowly avoided being hit. He has since made a few statements about said event, and will likely go on to make more statements on it when addressing crime in his 2022 reelection bid.
3. Several national news outlets have reported on this event - including The Guardian, USA Today, The New York Post, and CNN - adding weight and impact to its happening.
4. This event took place during a native American celebration, and has affected dozens of native American individuals. While it appears to have been in no way a hate crime, the vast majority of those affected are native American. Native American issues and events seem (to me) to fall victim to underrepresentation on Wikipedia DMartin24 (talk) 20:31, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On your fourth point, I would note that while they are certainly underrepresented, the remedy to this is not to over-represent a different, otherwise non-notable topic. Not that that disproves the other three points of course... exoplanetaryscience (talk) 07:04, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Were this fifteen African-Americans, or - heaven forbid - fifteen white people who were injured, this would have had a wiki page the same day it occurred and more than one editor on it. DMartin24 (talk) 22:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You may want to exercise caution when casting aspersions without any evidence-based grounding, especially if it involves race. Expressing an opinion without any policy-based defense is not likely to strengthen your claims for the article's retention. Bungle (talkcontribs) 18:13, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Has significant coverage from both local and national sources. Just because Wikipedia is not meant to emulate a newspaper does not mean we can't cover notable recent events. Partofthemachine (talk) 00:17, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This precisely why we have WP:NOTNEWS, as these kind of events are, unfortunately, all too common these days and significant media coverage at the time of the incident is also common, but that doesn't mean it's a significantly notable event to warrant an article. Bungle (talkcontribs) 16:58, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok then. Please provide other such events which: received coverage from 3+ national news outlets, involved more than a dozen persons (preferably including a politician or other notable individual who already has a Wiki page of their own), happened during a public event, and received a response from a US state governor. And preferably provide multiple such examples from the last five years to prove that "these kind of events" are "all too common". DMartin24 (talk) 22:38, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Yes it was widely reported for one day. No, that's not notability. It's really too soon to establish notability for a DWI, but for instance searching for the perp in the last week brings up routine police/legal system reporting. There's no evidence that this is going to be the subject of lasting interest. Mangoe (talk) 04:47, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Extra! Extra! Delete per NOTNEWS. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:37, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per not news. From what I can tell, this isn't even a 'ramming', it's an incident of drunk driving. The characterization of this as an 'attack' seems inaccurate. In any case, no evidence of lasting impact, no evidence that there was any sustained coverage aside from the initial onslaught. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 19:37, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of the cited sources is about the organization. There does not seem to be significative coverage about the subject in reliable sources, so it does not pass WP:NCORP or WP:GNG at all. Since this is an affiliate of the National Council of Resistance of Iran [1], that could be a good redirect target. MarioGom (talk) 22:40, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not convinced that the article as written avoids WP:BLPCRIME. WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS may also be applicable. I am unable to see a long-lasting societal impact from this unwanted pregnancy. News stopped at where this story broke. A merge to Abortion in Ohio, at least to indicate that the abortion laws in the state may have resulted in such situation, may preferrable to an outright deletion. – robertsky (talk) 10:17, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and Delete into Abortion in Ohio as per the nom statement. Although awful, I don't see this having a notably lasting impact and as things stand I don't think it needs a dedicated article. Obviously things can change if news coverage suddenly becomes more widespread or events occur on the back of this incident, but right now I don't think we need to be reporting news. I am unconvinced by a redirect as I am not sold on the article title as a common or useful search term. Bungle (talkcontribs) 10:45, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep via WP:SKCRIT #3, erroneous nomination (no accurate rationale provided). This event already has enough citations to confer notability, it's not a crime to be pregnant, the identity of the girl is not relevant to the article so BLP1E is not relevant, and none of the 4 categories of WP:NOTNEWS apply. Therefore it is a erroneous nomination. The quality and length of the article, or a poor title, is irrelevant to a deletion debate and should be discussed in the talk page. Any additional article existing does not also delete this articles notability, and there's nothing preventing that other article from referencing this while also linking to it.

      • WP:SKCRIT #3 reads No accurate deletion rationale has been provided. That is exactly the case here. So why should it not be applied? I'm not convinced... is not a rationale for deletion.

Andrewa (talk) 17:00, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no active ongoing discussion to merge the content, only a recently closed page rename discussion which was apparently opposed. A "merge" outcome is valid for AfD and a valid !vote none the less, whether it's less formally discussed or not. I have been keeping my eye on this article since it was created (I suggested it be CSD as per the previous AfD, which itself ended delete, but that was rejected), however I do not agree with the speedy keep stance myself and still stand by the fact this is a news story. Happy for the existing content to be merged, but I don't think, as things stand, we need an article. It is often the case with news stories that get a lot of media attention initially that it feels "big" and AfD discussions are often flawed when discussing an active news incident. You can only really judge the longer-term notability after the dust has settled, so to speak. Bungle (talkcontribs) 17:05, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Of course there is no ongoing discussion at a closed RM. But the discussion there is relevant to the merge proposals being made here, don't you think? Perhaps I just do not see your point.
    WP:NOTNEWS has been cited above. It reads in part Editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and to develop stand-alone articles on significant current events. There are then listed some cases in which news content is not encyclopedic, but none of them seem applicable here.
    I respect your personal opinion that speedy close is not applicable, but you do not seem to have answered any of the arguments that suggest to me that it is. IMO we need to proceed to a focussed discussion of the merge options, with no merge being one possible outcome of course. But deletion will not improve Wikipedia, and I see no evidence at all that it will. That's why I still suggest speedy close and move on.
    I note that your !vote is still Merge and Delete. It is not clear to me what this even means. Deleting the article title and its history while retaining any content would seriously violate some important Wikipedia principles. Andrewa (talk) 18:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    (Before you revised your comment, when I wrote mine, you implied a merge discussion was ongoing). There is so little here that anyone could merge the fundamental nature of the prose from the source citations, even if not verbatim, so that prose attribution is not an issue if paraphrased differently. We can easily work around this and find a way that the history need not be retained (what there is of it, which is practically nothing). I wouldn't outright oppose a traditional merge (and redirect), but I don't see it being really necessary.
    Your opinion is that WP:NOTNEWS is irrelevant - that's your view, not a fact, in as much as it is my view that it is relevant. The nature of the article presently is too ambiguous and generic, without any real purpose in its existence, though not sure it violates WP:BLPCRIME. A "keep" or "speedy keep" also implies support of keeping the article standalone, which based on the nature of the event, the little passage of time and the lack of evident significant ongoing reporting, I can't support as things stand. Bungle (talkcontribs) 18:47, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If I violated WP:TALK#REVISE I apologise and would like to correct that. Can you be specific? I certainly did not intend to do so. Or is it just that you didn't read the current version before replying to it? That is your fault not mine if so. The edit conflict software handles this well, in my experience. But you need to check why the conflict occurred before proceeding.
    I have no objection to a proper merge discussion, in fact I have been suggesting one. That's part of the reason we should close this AfD asap. But see my comment below regarding your merge and delete !vote. Andrewa (talk) 22:20, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I use the GUI reply feature which does not necessarily stop a response being submitted if the article has changed in the meantime. I don't think "Or is it just that you didn't read the current version before replying to it? That is your fault not mine if so." is compatible with WP:AGF. It's also entirely irrelevant. We have alternate opinions on this matter, which is entirely acceptable in the scheme of reaching consensus (or not, if it concludes as NC), though a separate merge discussion would be a viable consideration in any case. Bungle (talkcontribs) 17:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Keep this important event which is likely a result of the SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade. I am not opposed to speedy keep per above. However, if this page cannot be kept, it should be merged with history into Abortion in Ohio or Abortion in Indiana. In any case, do not delete. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:21, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Merge- into Abortion in Ohio, Abortion in Indiana and the impact section at Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. All of these are more appropriate venues for this content. The content is pretty much entirely tied to the last of the three articles but is also obviously important for the first two, not notable enough as some standalone event (yet at least). This is reflected in the article name too, which is just an educated proposal until some writer comes up with a better name. --Killuminator (talk) 19:07, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Killuminator and Bungle, I suggest you explain what you mean by Delete and Merge and Merge and Delete respectively. If any text content is merged, then the article history must be somehow preserved in order to satisfy the attribution requirements of our copyleft licences. See Wikipedia:Merge and delete. Andrewa (talk) 22:08, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Delete the standalone article but reuse content for other articles. The logistics of it would be up to the person applying the consensus once it's reached. Also, I believe this story warrants inclusion in those three articles regardless of this article's ultimate outcome. --Killuminator (talk) 23:33, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thank you! Did you note that the explanatory essay to which I linked states a merge and delete is not usually done unless there is a specific and pressing problem with the redirect and later Unless there is a particular reason to delete a redirect, admins should feel free to interpret "Merge and delete" votes as "Merge." A new editor may make such a vote without understanding the licensing requirements; this can be safely read as a merge vote. An advanced editor who wishes to argue for a merge and delete should make clear why the redirect would be unacceptable.
        • Yes, there are other ways of satisfying the licensing requirements, but they are a lot more trouble. Is there any reason to delete the redirect? Andrewa (talk) 03:31, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          @Andrewa: I see Killuminator offered a rationale, as did I further up when you originally asked this. When !voting merge in an AfD, it does not necessarily have to exclusively mean "copy and paste the content, verbatim and then redirect, so that existing attribution must be preserved", although I accept that is usually what happens. My position is that the article does not need to exist and the merging in this instance can also mean reusing the source citations and the premise of what is written to include a similar mention on the target article(s), even if worded differently. Nearly half the prose here is verbal quotation anyway, so we don't attribute that to an editor. Otherwise, I am saying "delete" (but mention it on Example article), which is basically "merge and delete".
          I would not oppose a traditional merge if there is preferred consensus for that and do not object to the additional article mentions aforementioned, but either way, my position can be taken as "not keep". Bungle (talkcontribs) 06:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          Disagree. Neither of you have offered any reason at all as to why the redirect should be deleted. We know that you want to do it, but why you think that it would improve Wikipedia to do it remains a mystery. There is no basis for it in policy or guidelines.
          No, "delete" is not basically "merge and delete", and the difference is very important. But your thinking that it is basically the same thing might explain a lot. Andrewa (talk) 12:13, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          You are, I think, only reading what you want to read and are mis-interpreting statements, so I am unsure if this extended discussion will be fruitful. I have not implied "delete" == "merge and delete", but "delete with some content being useful in another article" could be delete/merge. In essence, I think we can mention this in passing in another article but I don't think we need a standalone article nor a redirect, but I wouldn't outright reject the existence of a redirect if consensus favours it. Bungle (talkcontribs) 16:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          Didn't you accuse me of violating wp:AGF above? You might like to read my (other-wiki) essay how to reveal yourself without really trying. Andrewa (talk) 20:33, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • I've said what I wanted to say. If the closing editor wants to interpret it as a merge vote, they're free to do so. I'll join Bungle in the redirect remarks and add that I feel we don't need a redirect any more than we need a standalone article on this story and that interested people could type in any combination of words to look for this story here (for example 2022 Ohio pregnant girl abortion cases or the same title without the year). There are at least 3 articles suitable to include mention of this event that are all intuitive and related to the story so a redirect is superfluous. --Killuminator (talk) 17:48, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Lots above. Just to summarize my position, there is no argument yet presented for deleting the redirect if this article were to be merged, and nor is this the best place to discuss a merge, hence I have created Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Merge proposals (but there is no discussion there as of yet). There is likewise no argument presented above that would justify deletion. There is however confusion as to what merge and delete means and when such an action would be justified. This is not to pre-empt the assessment of the closer, but I hope it will spare them needing to wade through my many replies above. Andrewa (talk) 20:27, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    In my original nom, I put forth in gist as "merge may be preferrable to deletion", that is if deletion is not desirable by the consensus, I rather it merged.

    Excellent! Perhaps I misunderstood. So it appears that the only contributors wanting to delete the redirect, or in any sense wanting the result of this AfD to be delete, are Bungle and Killuminator, is that correct? Andrewa (talk) 19:47, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Maybe I just do not think it's appropriate for us to have an article dedicated to the rape and subsequent pregnancy of a 10 year old child, where it doesn't seem to have had extensive long-term coverage, a conviction or long-lasting effects. I am puzzled why anyone would want to keep this, not least "speedily". I can understand some reasoning behind wanting to mention it somewhere though, so as to not pretend it hasn't happened. @Andrewa, I respect you as an editor (a veteran, no less) and I don't want to get into a personal discussion about various matters, not least things that are, frankly, irrelevant. It's positive we can all have different views about things, as long as each expressed view is respected, and expressed respectfully. If this outcome results in the status-quo, we can consider the merits of a merge, as you propose, but as the AfD has been initiated, lets at least see where we go with this first. Bungle (talkcontribs) 20:55, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Undoubtedly you do believe that. And I hope I have respected these beliefs. (I do not however have any respect at all for your unprovoked accusation of bad faith, and suggest you strike it out per WP:REDACT. But I am not going to raise it on your talk page as a behavioural matter. We all make mistakes.)
    Agree that we need to close this AfD as the next step, in fact I still think it could have been speedied. There is no case for deletion and never was, just a lack of understanding as to what this means and when it is appropriate, which is of course exactly what Wikipedia:Merge and delete discusses and why I linked to it before, in order to save saying it all here. But nobody affected seems to have read the page, so that was a waste of time.
    But I do not think there is any harm in discussing possible merges in the meantime, in a more appropriate place, and of course that's why I created Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Merge proposals, but there is as yet no proposal there, so maybe that was a waste of my time too. Andrewa (talk) 05:14, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:HEY (but rename; "unnamed" is superfluous in a title that clearly doesn't name a subject). I have added content on the Indiana Attorney General's comments and investigation. The investigation will necessarily culminate in further activity, whether that constitutes charges or exoneration, so we are past the point of this being a single news event. BD2412 T 17:55, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • All criminal investigations necessarily culminate in further activity, this doesn't make the case any more notable than it really is. --Killuminator (talk) 18:53, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • The notability of the case is derived from national and international news reporting on various aspects of it. The significance of the ongoing investigation is that it will lead to more coverage, although notability is already more than sufficiently supported by sources in the article. BD2412 T 20:37, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • There is of course a recently closed RM at Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Requested move 6 August 2022 which resulted in not moved, and note that nom Jax 0677 stated there I am open to suggestions on other shorter names. You seem to be opposing a merge, but there has been no comment at all at Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Merge proposals so I suspect that the proposed merges are all dead in the water anyway. Having failed to attract any interest there, I'm reluctant to open a new RM or even a new section for informal discussion focussed on possible new names. But I guess one or the other of those is the next step. Perhaps good to wait until this AfD is eventually closed and we can then move on. Any rename should definitely go to a formal RM eventually, unfortunately. Andrewa (talk) 20:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The article is currently flagged with a Notability Template. Per removing this tag, when this AfD closes that tag should IMO be removed, unless there is ongoing discussion of a merge. (Or if the article is deleted this is of course a moot point.) Andrewa (talk) 20:25, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    And so far the silence at Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Merge proposals is deafening. The only response has been negative. Andrewa (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I would note that the article has been substantially expanded since the start of this discussion, including expansion with new developments not reported in sources until after this discussion had begun. !Votes before those developments and the consequent expansion should be weighed lightly. BD2412 T 16:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I observe the extensions made to the article, and while not superfluous, generally are quotes or stances taken by various individuals. I am not sure this is necessarily what would be sufficient to reasonably consider this a noteworthy encyclopedic topic (at least, at this time). On the note of this as a topic, I remain uncomfortable at the fact we are feuding over whether we keep or not, a page dedicated to a very traumatic incident experienced by a young child, for which the best offered in the article is largely others' opinions. I cannot concur with the idea that we keep this (I guess this is perhaps also a heart over head matter) and would still rather we didn't, but I respect consensus and that I have conceded a merged redirect may be the lesser worse option.
      To Andrewa, i'd say that it's perhaps not appropriate to discuss a merge matter separately while there is an open AfD (which is not an RfD, and thank you for correcting that earlier). I would also appreciate to BD2412 that my (and others') opinions not be regarded as something to be "weighted lightly"; although I know generally what you meant by that, it's for the respective editors to decide if they wish to reconsider their !vote or not as to how much weight they carry.
      A rename is surely necessary and longer term, if it doesn't end the way I have !voted or similar, i'd suggest the focus could rather be on the impact of the legal judgement and incidents this then spawned or significantly affected, as opposed to the focus being on the incident(s) themselves. I don't think that's an unreasonable position to take. Bungle (talkcontribs) 17:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • The launch of a criminal investigation by the Attorney General of Indiana is more than a stance, as is, I think, the survey showing a sharp uptick of OB/GYN residents planning to leave the state in the wake of the controversy. Those are continuing impacts. BD2412 T 18:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and merge per Bungle. Most the article is made up of the reactions of people to this event. Half of the "Investigation" section, which is being used here as support for a keep, is not directly related to it and serves only as background. It's also mostly quotations. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 16:18, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - articles significant improvement and sourcing demonstrates it is appropriate for inclusion. Just not seeing the violation of WP:NOTNEWS here. I think the subject is significant enough to warrant a stand alone article. MaxnaCarta (talk) 03:11, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep this made national news for quite a while. Sources are more than enough. We do really really need to keep names out of it. Given some issues with that, an edit warning or something on the article might be wise. Hobit (talk) 14:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Seems like an easy keep. (a) there are tons of sources in a wide range of publications, (b) coverage has persisted from June through to the present, with multiple chapters in the story (the initial story, the right calling it a hoax, stories about proving it's not a hoax, the investigation, etc.), (c) there's every indication it will continue to be in the news as a major story about abortion at a time when abortion is a major news topic, (d) there's no obvious merge target, even if it weren't independently notable (which it seems to be). So pick one: GNG, EVENT, etc. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:41, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect and merge to Abortion in Ohio – There is plenty of verifiable information on reactions to the incident, but scant verifiable info on the incident itself. That smells of WP:NOTNEWS; what's really going on is that the incident is only a proxy for the larger US abortion debate. I'm also not seeing evidence of lasting coverage, despite Rhododendrites' assertion. There's this, which is a letter (and shouldn't be used in this article). Googling "Ohio ten year old abortion" only gives results more than a month ago. The suspect's name gives coverage three weeks ago, though. I suspect the suspect will be convicted, some reports on that, and then it goes dark. US media goes too fast, unfortunately.... Ovinus (talk) 07:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Ovinus: Why merge to Abortion in Ohio? The abortion was performed in Indiana by a doctor licensed in that state, and the investigation has been launched by the Indiana Attorney General. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:39, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yeah, unfortunately there's no obvious redirect target. That's a fair reason to keep rather than redirect. My rationale is that the notability derives from Ohio's new prohibition of abortion, rather than Indiana's continued permission. In any case, if the article ends up getting kept, it will need some cleanup. I'll remove the NEVENT tag for now, though, as consensus seems to be in favor of keeping. Ovinus (talk) 19:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • Assessment of consensus is of course the responsibility of the closer, but we can help them. One way of doing this would be to either reconsider your merge !vote, or to propose a specific merge at the informal discussion at Talk:Pregnancy of unnamed 10-year old Ohio girl in 2022#Merge proposals. Just a suggestion. You will note that so far, there is no specific merge proposal there, which the closer will probably also consider. So you are far from being the only one who wants a merge but can't say where to. Andrewa (talk) 16:06, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: clearly an event with long-lasting impact. WP:NOTNEWS is for articles where the subject received attention for a day, and then was forgotten. This is obviously not that. —VersaceSpace 🌃 18:17, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's article about the event, not the child, so BLP1E doesn't apply. I don't think NOTNEWS applies either, per above. Lasting coverage meeting GNG. No obvious redirect target either.-- Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:54, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with VersaceSpace Pawnkingthree the article qualify to be kept.Princek2019 (talk) 11:11, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep very widely reported, and sufficiently distinct from the candidates for merge, perhaps. Chumpih t 20:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Some of this seems selectively chosen; many of the sources that I can access do not use the term "abolitionism" to refer to this philosophy (or mention it at all). I think this would be best served as a redirect to the Animal rights movement article. QueenofBithynia (talk) 22:40, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Animal-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 22:48, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This is one of the fundamental topics of the animal rights theory and I envisage this article being one of the vital articles on the subject; the "selectively chosen" part could be moderated by adding more citations from the vast literature available on this topic (will try doing this in the coming days). This is but the animal rights counterpart of the concept of abolitionism in human slavery, which underlines its importance in the movement. While the term is widely used in the works of scholars like Gary Francione, others such as Tom Regan, David Nibert, Oscar Horta, Steven M. Wise, and Gary Yourofsky subscribe to the same principle by expanding the term as "ending animal slavery," "abolishing human use of animals," "putting an end to animal exploitation," etc. Rasnaboy (talk) 07:39, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There are hundreds of g-hits for the term "animal rights abolitionism", many of which are academic in nature. The article could benefit from improvement, but there's little indication it meets any deletion criteria. Risker (talk) 20:42, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: Abolitionism is a very important concept in animal rights movement, and is definitely notable. If there are problems with source text integrity in the article, fix it—but deletion is not an alternative to clean-up. TryKid[dubiousdiscuss] 13:18, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep; I'm seeing plenty of academic sourcing, here's just a few examples [7], [8], [9]. I'm not certain I see any argument for deletion; if there's some fuzziness in what the term refers to, that's something to include in the article. Vanamonde (Talk) 17:01, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article has numerous problems and has had them for years. Large tables are just copied from a government pdf. The article doesn't have a real introduction and it needs more sources to ensure WP:GNG.

I the editor indeed deny being a paid in anyway because that is simply not true, not even a little bit. Of course, you are free to speculate, that is not my business. On the topic of this article, I stand by my earlier statement of Keep or Merge, while the notability of the company in its own right is up to question is less than their products, the product they have developed, TUSD, is notable as the 5th largest stablecoin with a billion dollar market capitalisation. So the two logical options are: 1. to either rename the page TrueUSD (TUSD), in line with USD Coin, Tether (cryptocurrency) and others where the coin is more notable than the company that made it, or 2. Keep the page if it is given that TrustToken meets WP:COMPANY.--Treehorn 1991 (talk) 17:14, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Mayors don't get automatic inclusion freebies just for existing as mayors — the notability test for a mayor is not established by writing a bit of unsourced biographical background, it's established by writing and sourcing a substantive article about the political significance of his mayoralty: specific things he did as mayor, specific accomplishments he achieved as mayor, specific effects he had on the development of the city, and on and so forth. But this is just basic biographical background with none of the type of content that's required, and the list of references comprises a genealogy (which is not a notability-assisting source) and a title that doesn't provide enough information to even establish whether it's a book, a newspaper or magazine article, another user-generated genealogy, or what — even a Google search for that title only brings up various language Wikipedias and wikimirrors, with no independent verification of what type of source the title actually represents. Which means it isn't enough to cover off notability all by itself if we can't even locate basic verification of what it actually is — the primary reason we cite sources at all is so that they can be located and consulted if somebody needs to verify what they said or just wants to learn more, so a source clearly can't support notability if it's not locatable.

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

Minimally referenced article about a film not shown to pass WP:NFO. The article is so poorly written that it's practically incoherent — my favourite thing being "Amirkulov enters the movie in a cinema context", as if existing in a "cinema context" wasn't an inherent characteristic of being a movie — and much of it, in fact, appears to be a straight copy-paste translation of the sole source cited here, in defiance of WP:COPYVIO, and an article needs a lot more than just one source to clear the notability bar anyway. There is, further, no discernible evidence that "Rustems records with drawing" is actually the film's established "English title"; it also appears to be a bad transliteration of the film's original-language title rather than a title that's ever actually been used in reference to this film in English-language sources.
As I can't read Kazakh or Russian, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can read those languages can find the sourcing necessary to fix this article -- but nothing stated here now is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have better sources, coherent writing or a title that's actually attested by sources.

  • I went through the 9 references currently in the article. Three are from the San Antonio Express-News, and two of those are long enough to provide WP:SIGCOV. One is from Texas A&M's student newspaper The Battalion, and although it also would fulfill the SIGCOV requirement, I'm unsure if it qualifies as an independent source. Also cited are one article each from the Detroit Free Press and the Houston Chronicle; while those are reliable, they aren't SIGCOV. The other three sources don't contribute to notability, but a Google search did turn up this article from the Norwich Bulletin, which is in-depth coverage of Ecker; given this, I believe he meets WP:NBASIC, so I vote keep.

  • Delete. While the first San Antonio Express-News source has substantial coverage, none of it merits inclusion in an encyclopedia as HS state (or even national)-level achievements are just not noteworthy enough to be DUE, especially when they only receive local attention. The Battalion source is definitely inadmissible as college newspapers are never independent of the student body they belong to. The second SAEN source also has decent college coverage that is slightly more encyclopedic than HS stuff, but it is not independent of the first article and therefore does not count as a second source toward GNG. The Norwich Bulletin does have a reasonable amount of independent commentary beyond all the unusable interview material, so could be a second source for GNG, however this is greatly tempered by it being hyperlocal media. The rest of the sources are routine and/or transactional, are from the SAEN newspaper (including the mysanantonio.com one on his signing), or are press releases (e.g. the KBTX one).
The article was only made due to his being a pro baseball player, and yet none of the references that give him substantive attention are actually covering more than a sliver of his professional career, and none of them extend beyond local interest news. Just because he played in the minor leagues doesn't mean he needs a standalone encyclopedia entry, especially if the vast majority of his page is just relaying unremarkable stats. There are tons of sports websites that have exactly the same info, just not proseified like it is here; why do we need a whole page to document material that no one outside the cities he's played in has ever discussed in depth? JoelleJay (talk) 03:57, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. We need two pieces of SIGCOV to meet GNG (A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). The first article, from the San Antonio Express-News, is definitely SIGCOV (500+ words on Ecker). So we're currently at 1/2 for GNG. Then there's another San Antonio Express-News article that is significant, but sources from the same paper count as one towards GNG, so we're still at 1/2. The Free Press and Houston Chronicle articles are too short (only one para). I believe the mysanantonio article is from the Express-News. Then there's the Norwich Bulletin article, which definitely counts towards GNG (nearly 700 words on Ecker) and so is our second sigcov source, thus meeting GNG with multiple pieces of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Also, I would like to note that coverage being local (which seems to be the reason JoelleJay wants this deleted) is completely irrelevant when trying to determine if someone meets GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 14:59, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • 2 cents. Based on the sourcing presented by BeanieFan this appears to be a GNG pass. That said, there has been a tendency to exercise editorial judgment not to maintain stand-alone articles on minor-league baseball players absent something extraordinary.

The result was no consensus to delete. After much-extended time for discussion, there is a clear absence of consensus to delete. The trend in the discussion has been towards keeping, in line with improvements to the sourcing of the article (it now has fewer sources than at the time of the nomination for deletion, but that is mostly from a sweeping out of cruft). Note, however, that there is also not a consensus to keep; if the article is not further improved, it may be subject to another deletion effort in the future. One keep !voter has suggested that sources are to be found behind paywalls, but find the ones that are not. I also not that Andrea1861 has been particularly argumentative in pressing policy-invalid contentions, such as the inclusion of the subject in other Wikipedia articles. I would strongly suggest that they become more familiar with the actual operative policies of the project before arguing such points in the future. BD2412 T 05:54, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With respect:
  1. Being mentioned in other Wikipedia articles confers no notability; that would be an entirely circular logic.
  2. Notability, which is what an AfD essentially tests, is established purely by the sources, and in light of those this articles fails by some margin.
  3. There may well be other articles out there that should also be deleted, but this AfD is here to discuss this particular article only. Also, please see OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.
Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1. So what is written on Wikipedia is not relevant, has no value in terms of notability?
2. I think that you can find notability if you review: books · news · scholar...
3. Wikipedia should be democratic and equal for all otherwise is a just an aimed aggression based on subjectivity.

I haven't yet looked at the book links, but just to say that up to the Google Scholar link, there isn't a single source listed here that meets the GNG standard.
This is the second time you have accused me of aggression. Please leave it at that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:50, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I did not want to accuse you lightly but I felt badly treated by your comment; Additionally I just want to let you know that I have always tried to analyze and respect the guidelines other mentors have provided me with in regards to the several feedbacks I received for Robilant+Voena.
The rejections I received were always related to the low notability of Robilant+Voena; and the reason of this judgement was concerning the sources I have adopted to draft the page.
What I have tried to explain to the mentors who rejected the page - which has no background or experience of the global art market - is that commercial galleries are judged by the artworks they deal with and the exhibitions they organize. There are no galleries that have a full page article about the business itself: every mention is always related to a specific deal, discovery or exhibition. Considering that, Robilant+Voena has been mentioned in some of the most relevant magazines all over the globe (not only art/cultural magazines). Another topic that needs to be considered is the cultural and artistic contribution Robilant+Voena (or any other gallery) provides the society with: Robilant+Voena has madr, over the years, outstanding sales to some of the most important museums in the world (I suggest to you to look at their website). Don’t you think that this is important enough to be included in Wikipedia? I am sure that users who are interested in art would love to know more about this specific topic: how the National Gallery of London was able to purchase an Artemisia Gentileschi? Who sold the Principe Camillo Borghese by Gerome to the Frick Collection? This is pure knowledge, something that witness the cultural heritage of the Western world (at least). Finally: have you ever asked yourself why Colnaghi is the only commercial art gallery dealing in ancient art included in Wikipedia? There are a number of art dealers that have contributed to increase museums and private collections that are not even mentioned, people who have given to our society way more than public figures included in the Wikipedia database. I am sure that you will be able to appreciate the wonderful careers - and the works dealt by - of Carlo Orai, Samuel Dickinson, Maurizio Nobile, Coll & Cortes, etc.
I kindly ask you to try to understand that the criteria of judging the notability of a commercial art gallery is different than many business of public figures; have a look at the most significant media channel of the global art market, and look at tue top players that dominate it (where and how are they mentioned?).
I have been working on this page for almost one year, providing it with a number of significant references. It is quite frustrating that you keep saying these are not relevant just because it is something out of your area of expertise. Andrea1861 (talk) 17:44, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment deletion discussions about commercial galleries can be contentious. A commercial gallery is a business and most of the press surrounding a gallery is more about WHAT and WHO they are selling, rather than the history of the gallery. I don't see any references to Robilant+Voena's place in history, just references to what and where they have sold art. They aren't doing any ground-breaking work in discovering new art and they have only been around for 20 years. I think the article may be WP:TOOSOON. - WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 21:07, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    What do you think is needed for a commercial gallery that deals in the old masters sector to have its place in history? Discovering works of art as in 2018 by one of the few famous old master female painters as Artemisia Gentilsechi is not ground-breaking? Doing the first solo exhibition of Lucio Fontana in South Korea is not relevant? Producing English-language publications on 20th-century Italian artists, including Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013), Paolo Scheggi (1940-71), Marino Marini (1901- 80), and Lucio Fontana (1899-1968). Publishing a series of monographs in Italian of little-known artists, including Carlo Dolci (1616-89), Cesare Dandini (1596-1657), Gregorio de Ferrari (c. 1647–1726), Marcantonio Franceschini (1649-1729) and the brothers Domenico (1668-1746) and Bartolomeo Guidobono edited by art historians such as Mina Gregori, Francesco Frangi, and Alessandro Morandotti.

  • Delete: I went through all the references except for the New York Times reference behind a paywall. All the sources are passing mentions, basically saying certain painting/artwork is exhibited at gallery/sold through gallery/etc and proceeded to talk about said artwork. There is no WP:SIGCOV about the gallery. A few references have some writeups about the gallery but they are basically catalog of art galleries and does not pass SIGCOV. Even if the NYT article proved to have SIGCOV, the article would not have enough sources to pass WP:GNG.
For the new sources given, I went through the first 5 sources and they are all passing mentions, similar to original references. There are no direct links on the google scholar and books to mention the gallery, which make them not easy to assess. Notability is conferred by WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, mentions by other wikipedia articles does not confer notability. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 03:08, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Significant enough. These days galleries don't go on for generations (and most never did), & "they have only been around for 20 years" is no argument for deletion.

As stated already, the way coverage of these things works, the selling gallery rarely gets more than passing mention, regardless of the volume of press coverage. As Johnbod alluded above, dealing in Old Masters is an unglamorous business (up and coming spaces dealing in contemporary art get pages and pages of breathless coverage), but in this case I think the company's achievements are significant.

Also have removed a large amount of puffery. Ceoil (talk) 22:15, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Other things
  • their sale of Self-Portrait as Saint Catherine of Alexandria was covered by a number of UK daily newspapers, was described by Artnet, who would know, as "one of the most talked-about museum acquisitions of 2018" (note the emphasis on the acquisition rather than sale), and the wiki article was published a few weeks later.
  • Of the the Caravaggisti exhibition, the Telegraphs headline was "Beyond Caravaggio: Robilant + Voena's exhibition celebrates those inspired by the Italian master".
  • Both Robilant and Voena were well established in the market before their partnership.
Am a heartless delitionist, but don't think our generalist policy on companies quite works with old master galleries. Pinging WomenArtistUpdates to revisit, as they are informed and I normally respect their opinion, but voted delete above.

Thanks for the ping Ceoil. You certainly got rid of the extraneous stuff and it reads really well, and by well I mean neutral. I thought I had just commented and not !voted. An editor was just not getting why the page wound up here (and has indeed moved into bludgeoning). Galleries are a target for scrutiny. The article repeatedly failed AfC with no real changes made to the article except to keep piling on press releases. Getting the sale of the Artemisia Gentileschi into the lede and other clean-up does move me into keep territory. So now I want to sleep on it to figure out if I am prejudiced because of the elevation of Gentileschi into the lede :) Thanks again for the ping. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:18, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good to talk again WomenArtistUpdates. Re bludgeoning have attempted here to prevent that happening again, as if the article is deleted, no doubt that wont be the last of it. As a side note, I'm finding the sources are mentioning the gallery in more detail when covering the exhibitions than the sales, linked to reasons given above. Thanks for replying so soon.

List of the busiest airports in the European Union[edit]

List of the busiest airports in the European Union (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

As I mentioned in the previously contested proposed deletion, this list mostly duplicates List of the busiest airports in Europe, and it does not present sources covering this topic area as a whole, which means it's in violation of WP:SYNTH. Melmann said 'the article is useful because EU is one regulatory area and a single market when it comes to air traffic, therefore, while there is significant overlap with Euriope, EU is not synonmous with Europe as a whole'. I think this is a reasonable argument to make, but it needs to be followed up with edits to actually prove it, and in the last few months nobody's even tried to do that. The article was only created in March 2021‎, while the EU and its airports have existed for many decades before, which sounds to me like this is just a novel WP:NOTSTATS violation. If this is a legit topic, we need to start with e.g. Air transport in the European Union first. Right now we have a handful of unsourced sentences in Transport in the European Union#Air transport.

  • Redirect to List of the busiest airports in Europe, mostly per nom. Deletion is okay as well. The overlap is substantial, and an interested reader can simply ignore the entries in the Europe article which aren't in the EU. Ovinus (talk) 20:06, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I continue to believe that 'Air traffic within EU' is a worthy topic area for Wikipedia to cover. While I do not contest the fact that the article is poor, and essentially excision of content from List of the busiest airports in Europe, in my experience simply being of poor quality is generally not a valid argument for deletion of an article on a notable topic (unless it's potentially a WP:BLP issue or pure spam, which is not the case here). Such arguments are against WP:DEL-CONTENT, WP:NOTPAPER and are essentially WP:RUSHDELETE. I do not think it is useful to enact policy on the fly by saying:"Right, improve within certain timeframe, or we're deleting the page." which has, in my experience, never been the case on Wikipedia.
    • Further to above, I also oppose redirecting to List of the busiest airports in Europe should this article end up being deleted. Doing so is simply conflating Europe and EU, which are most definitely not the same and not interchangeable, especially when it comes to air traffic, regulation of which is a core competence of EU, and where there are material differences between air traffic in EU countries vs non-EU/EEA European countries. Melmann 21:28, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's a worthy topic area to cover, sure. But why don't we actually do that then? Instead of this list here, and it is just not the same as coverage of this topic area. This is apparently a copy&waste magnet for anonymous spamming of largely meaningless statistics on a public website. You're basically just arguing about WP:POTENTIAL, which is fine, but when practically none has been demonstrated, it's just not a great argument. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:40, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as a volunteer-only project, we cannot compel anyone to write on any particular topic. That's why we have better articles on individual Pokémon than some very notable women. If the topic of the air travel within EU is notable (which I'm taking as granted, given that nobody so far has contested it) then I do not see how it makes sense to delete the article merely because it is not yet as good as it should be. Being of poor quality has never been grounds for deletion except in very egregious situations mentioned above, which is not the case here.
Further to that, should we then go ahead and delete the List of the busiest airports in the United States because it is substantially overlapping with List of busiest airports in North America? If your argument is that such statistics lists don't belong on Wikipedia, why not make a broader argument to delete them all rather than singling out this particular instance? Melmann 22:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean poor quality has never been grounds for deletion? I've seen WP:TNT referenced in deletion discussions for decades now. And, the reason for singling out this particular instance is already explained in the nomination - it's an egregious violation of the improper synthesis policy as it stands. Is it technically possible to rescue it? Sure. But with nobody even trying to do so, we're left with 70 kilobytes of essentially claptrap masquerading as encyclopedic coverage of a topic, and no help in sight. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 23:32, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have already offered you a sound argument on why this is not improper synthesis; EU is not the same as Europe, and EU is one regulatory area when it comes to regulating air traffic. An example of this is that the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen shut down EU airspace to Russian planes unilaterally. She did not need to rely on the authority of EU member countries' regulatory authorities, but used her own authority to do so.[1] This, in my opinion, means that talking about EU air traffic is a worthy topic for an encyclopedia, and is not an improper synthesis. If this article was about a random assortment of unrelated countries, picked for no underlying reason, I'd agree with your synthesis argument, but that is not the case here.
In my experience, WP:TNT arguments are invoked and accepted for severe violations. Copyvios, BLP violations, vandalism, spam, hoaxes, attack pages, severe cases of sock puppetry or paid editing. I have not seen any evidence to indicate that this article is a severe violation warranting WP:TNT treatment; thus I oppose it. Melmann 15:02, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but your interpretation of the improper synthesis policy is incorrect. Just because there may exist an EU-related discussion of busiest airports somewhere out there, that doesn't invalidate the simple fact that this list is not actually based on such sources. Rather, it is anonymous editors using original research to compose a list that isn't actually sourced to anywhere else. The underlying concept of EU air transport certainly exists in the real world, but that does not imply that this is not synthesized. You could fix this problem if you cited a reference that lists the actual busiest airports in the EU in the article, but somehow we've exchanged a lot of words here over many months, and that still hasn't happened, so how can we expect that it will? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 15:55, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't have a problem with redirection—a discussion like this can become pedantic. But because members in the EU are in... Europe, there feels no need for a separate list. If people are looking for this subset of European countries, they can construct one themselves by eliminating non-EU members from the list. SWinxy (talk) 19:47, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think this is pedantry when it has material impacts. EU is not just a free trade area or some words on the paper, it is a supranational level of government that exercises its powers independently of the member states. When you travel by air with the EU, you're protected by a specific set of consumer rights. Should any carrier attempt to abridge your consumer rights, you can directly seek redress from EU's institutions. This is far more than merely international travel as defined by ICAO, and you can have a European flight which is not covered by EU's regulatory rules, such as Serbia to Macedonia. Thus, it is a mistake to conflate Europe and EU. Melmann 16:26, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Whether it has material impacts in that context seems irrelevant. Does it have material impacts for how we (should) cover it in the articles List of the busiest airports in the European Union and List of the busiest airports in Europe? It is not necessarily the case that it is a good idea to have separate articles (especially list articles) covering proper subsets of something we already have an overarching article about. We could conceivably also create e.g. List of the busiest airports in the Schengen Area and List of the busiest airports in the Eurozone, but should we? TompaDompa (talk) 18:02, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No, because Schengen and Eurozone are not relevant to air traffic. Do you imagine that EU and Europe is just an arbitrary distinction without meaning?
    In the monetary policy/economy area you mention, we have Economy of the European Union and Economy of Europe which overlap to a large extent, but talk about two different things.
    Regarding border control, we have Schengen Area, Common Travel Area, Nordic Passport Union, Freedom of movement for workers in the European Union, and Citizens' Rights Directive all of which talk about some type of movement of people in Europe. Should we delete them all because they overlap? Melmann 19:22, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Relevance to air traffic does not necessarily translate to it being a good idea to have separate but largely duplicative list articles which pretty much exclusively consist of statistics. What benefit does it confer to have an article about statistics for individual airports in the European Union when that same information is contained in an article with the slightly broader scope of airports in (geographical) Europe?

  • Keep. Regarding WP:SYNTH concerns, Eurostat has comprehensive statistics related to the busiest airports within the EU (table 3). There is value in separating EU airports from European airports, since as the nominator reminds us, the European Union acts as a single market and EU institutions impact the EU air transport (ex: 1, 2), and there is a net gain in having the reader be able to have a proper list without Russian, Turkish, and other non-EU airports (about half of the top 10, scores in the top 100). Beyond the inclusion of Eurostat statistics, the other concerns of the nominator, which are valid and deserve discussion, are in my view best addressed on the respective article talk pages and in WikiProjects. Pilaz (talk) 02:02, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The fact we managed to find a page on the Eurostat website that replicates the topic after a month of searching does not instill a lot of confidence that WP:NOT#STATS is observed. At the same time the same site explicitly discusses air traffic with a lot of the rest of Europe, including Turkey, so the argument about excluding the rest because that's somehow proper - seems moot. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 03:50, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I infer from your response that your original WP:SYNTH concern is resolved. And you're incorrect regarding Eurostat, the database in question does not include Turkey (speaking of which, I'm baffled that a BEFORE and half a dozen of editors did not manage to find it). The counterargument to WP:NOTSTATS, which is not a rejection of statistics but a rejection of unexplained statistics with little to no encyclopedic utility, is countered by the informational utility that this list can provide over the Europe one - there are useful statistics for each airport such as the proportion of domestic, intra-EU, and extra-EU flights which cannot be achieved at List of the busiest airports in Europe. As WP:LISTN makes it clear, there is no current consensus on cross-categorization lists such as this one, and we've had enough precedent at AfD that if it meets recognized informational, navigational, or developmental purposes to justify keeping this article too. You think it's indiscriminate, I think it's useful. I mean, do you really think List of the busiest airports in the United States should be let go or merged with List of the busiest airports in North America? Pilaz (talk) 05:11, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No, actually, it's not resolved by the existence of one sole source on the planet that discusses the same topic. Each and every piece of documentation about sourcing in this project talks about sources in the plural, and that is not an accident. If we find nobody else in the world who's doing a comparison of EU airports other than the one official body which is probably formally tasked with doing that anyway (making it suspiciously close to a primary source, too...), and Wikipedia is basically copying and pasting one of their lists (while sprinkling in arbitrary anonymous edits, as usual) without actually putting it in some sort of a context (for which there are various references), that's hardly the definition of a useful part of an encyclopedia. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:24, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Your original WP:SYNTH concern (which, in my view, was not SYNTH) was that "it does not present sources covering this topic area as a whole". List of the busiest airports in the United States relies on one source, the FAA. Why can't this article rely on a single reliable source too, Eurostat, like most list articles? Pilaz (talk) 23:44, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That is a fair question! --Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:12, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I have taken a few hours out of my Saturday to expand the article and harmonize it with List of the busiest airports in the United States. More specifically, I have found an overarching source, Eurostat, (factsheet, databases) that covers the list as a whole, which was a key concern of the nomination since previous yearly tables used individual data from each airport (sidenote: a quick survey of "List of the busiest airports in X" shows most articles having that flaw, including List of the busiest airports in Europe, but whatever). Additionally, I have brought the list up to date to 2021, and I have added tables for airport traffic based on domestic flights, intra-EU flights, and extra-EU flights, making this article fundamentally different from List of the busiest airports in Europe. Finally, I have addressed the nomination's concerns regarding Transport in the European Union#Air transport by expanding the section somewhat and sourcing it to EU and academic sources. During my search, several sources turned up with charts dedicated to the busiest airports in the EU (excluding therefore Russia, Turkey and other non-EU associated countries): the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (p.54), The Guardian, etc. although it is worth noting that when specialized publications mention airport business in Europe, they tend to more often do it in EU+ format (EU + Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, and UK), EU+ plus Turkey, or Europe as a whole, which raises questions as to where to cut off a page about EU airports traffic: do we want EU-only airports? (we can). do we want EU+ airports? (we can too, without tarnishing the EU-ness of the list). To me, the question of whether we can separate Europe and EU is yes, regardless. With that being said, over 1 billion passengers transited through EU airports in 2017 alone (European Commission). That's nothing to scoff at. Given that we have similar nested articles on the other side of the world, with List of the busiest airports in California, List of the busiest airports in the United States, and List of the busiest airports in North America, I see no harm done to the encyclopedia in having the same three layers with List of the busiest airports in France, List of the busiest airports in the European Union, and List of the busiest airports in Europe. Pilaz (talk) 04:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The EUASA source seems the best so far to actually reinforce the concept, it shows an addition on top of this data source concept, although it's still an agency directly connected to the EU. The Guardian's illustration is directly sourced to Eurostat, but let's say it contributes to a general impression of notability for the concept. A lot of this is sort of "in-universe"... and I'm not sure if the precedent of other copy&paste lists justifies having more and more. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 09:52, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This list is entirely original research. It appears to have been computed from coordinate data (as far as I can tell -- the map doesn't seem to offer the area itself) entered in an openly-editable database. Many of the entries that I checked were edited by a username similar to that of the main contributor to this article as well. Moreover, that these are in fact "the largest" is also unverifiable -- there's no way to tell if entries are missing. AndyTheGrump (talk) 22:42, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note I think I am the lone author of the article. It goes against WP:OR and probably a whole slew of other policies. You might be able to find some sources to support the existence of the article, but I am not sure whether they would support the contents. I don't really care if it is deleted as I copied the data to my computer.
    I would say WP:CALC applies to the surface area calculations, as the area of a 2d shape is something learned in primary school. I will claim the list is accurate/comprehensive as of ~2017/2018, but that is obviously not WP:VER to anyone else.
    I know WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. List of largest buildings is in terrible shape as it is nowhere near comprehensive and many of the sources are published/paid for by the architect/owner of the buildings.

The topic of largest buildings by footprint itself seems to be pretty well covered around the WWW (some more detailed information is here as well). This is just a cursory look from a couple minutes of searching on Google; but even then, you can see there is a lot of information about the subject of big-ass buildings.

  • Follwup comment from nominator. The two keeps above make no sense. Even by the article creator's own admission, this list has been, from its very inception, entirely OR. It cannot be kept. "Keep but rewrite from the ground up" isn't a realistic !vote; you might as well just delete it at that point. There even isn't any point to redirecting, since every single bit of sourcing comes from UGC, none of it can ever be used, so the article history has no use itself. Nothing here has any salvage value. Morever, Jpxg's sources are no good. A few listicles doesn't really help much for determining notability for something like this, especially as a list of superlatives. The "more detailed" source is just a government report giving estimated totals for the whole country, not broken down by individual buildings. Even worse, those lists are conflating vastly different metrics of "large", be it by volume, footprint, floorspace, or what have you. Any list of "largest" is going to be difficult to justify between the various issues of metrics, sourcing, notability, completeness (how do we know that these are actually the largest?), and OR (exactly how do we decide if this is two separate buildings or one connected building? etc). 35.139.154.158 (talk) 22:52, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I don't think the https://eia.gov link is a "listicle", but even if it were, WP:RS does not distinguish between "articles devoted to a topic" and "articles devoted to a topic that contain lists". With respect to there being ambiguity between multiple criteria -- "it would be nice if the article had more sections" isn't a deletion rationale. The reason I am being such a hard-ass about this is because an AfD is the primary means by which the notability of a topic is determined. Your argument that it could simply be deleted here and recreated later does not hold up in practice -- what would happen is that it would be instantly nominated for deletion (possibly under WP:CSD) on the grounds that this AfD closed as delete. It is true that this article is not written very well, but what I'm saying is that the subject of "the largest buildings in the United States" -- whether by square footage, by building footprint, or by volume -- is a notable one, and it is worth having an article about. jp×g 08:42, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have linked eig.gov twice. And in neither case to anything that looks like a useable source for a 'list of largest buildings in the United states'. That would seem to require (a) data on specific buildings, and (b) clear and unequivocal statements that they were in fact the 'largest' (however defined), unless it could be shown that the source included sufficient data on all buildings which might plausibly be candidates.
To be perfectly clear about where we are as of now, the existing article is pure WP:OR. The creator of the article has acknowledged this. If the article is kept, we are required by policy to remove all the WP:OR. Which will leave a list of zero elements. Which amounts to de facto deletion, with nothing but a misleading title. Anyone could, per existing policy, have simply deleted the WP:OR at any stage. I actually contemplated doing this myself, as soon as the extent of the WP:OR became apparent. I shall do so, if the article is kept. Wikipedia is not a webhosting service for hobbyist research.
And no, deletion of an article does not in of itself prevent the creation of a new one, should proper sourcing later prove to be available. That has never been policy. The immediate solution though, for people claiming that such sourcing exists is to provide actual evidence that it does. Sourcing sufficient to create a list of largest buildings, and sufficient to show that the inclusion of such buildings in the list is merited. If the subject is 'notable' per Wikipedia standards, the necessary sourcing must be provided. AndyTheGrump (talk) 11:39, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - As established above, and confirmed by the page creator and more or less sole editor, the entirety of this article is comprised of WP:OR, and so should be deleted on those grounds alone. Whether or not a Redirect should then be created to List of largest buildings or a new sourced article on this topic be created is kind of besides the point, as in either case the WP:OR would need to be removed first, which in this case would mean deletion. Rorshacma (talk) 23:59, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Lands squarely within the original research policy as well as "Reasons for deletion" (#6, 7, and 8) that is also policy. Even "if" OpenStreetMap was a reliable source advancing notability, examples such as Academy Sports and Outdoors Distribution Center‬ (random pick) shows existence only. 227 instances of the same source count as one towards notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 01:15, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - At this time I am happy to support deletion. Some companies of the same name have significant coverage in books, this is an example. However as that company is described as Iranian rather than Brazil, they appear different companies and not seeing any good coverage of this particular enterprise. The article sniffs of a puff/vanity piece to me, and without sufficient sources to convert it into a quality article I support deletion.

Party is defunct. They pulled out of the 2022 Victorian state election today (via a press release) due to finance issues & failing to attract donors. It has been reported in media (herald sun, paywalled). Mayor Oscar Yildiz's only reference to being in the party is his twitter bio, while his website & communications don't use any party logos or even name it (he himself doesn't have a wikipedia article, making this a non-notable defunct party launched by a non-notable politician). The stated party website is now dead. With only one reference for their creation, one reference for their failure, with no actual representation in a political body, this is a non-notable article and should be deleted.

The one notable comment in the (unlisted) press release, "its architectural ensemble is made in the style of classical Western European architecture", wouldn't be sufficient to make the hotel notable.

  • Keep AFD is not cleanup. Many of our college articles are sourced to primary sources because they are readily available. But that doesn't mean they are not notable. Searching finds lots of mentions, but it is time consuming to go through them because a lot just says somebody graduated from or is teaching there.

Delete — Some low-quality sourcing going on here. Of the five in the article, I'd only consider refs 1 and 3 (Bianet and Vatan) to reliable. Both of these are interviews which heavily rely on quotes by the subject himself, so they aren't independent. Another interview from a reliable publisher can be found here, but again, this can't be used for notability. There is a 2 sentence long announcement of one of his concerts that isn't significant at all. Hürriyet has included 5 sentences about him in this source about 4 singers, which would be borderline enough for SIGCOV. Apart from that, as far as RS go, there are only a few mentions ([21], [22]). Doesn't appear to meet the GNG. ~StyyxTalk? 11:16, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
