  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG. I strongly disagree with the logic that the article should be kept because WP:BEFORE wasn't done as even if that were true, it is not a requirement for deletion. It's strongly encouraged, mostly to prevent wasting time at AfD with situations where sources are readily available if one would only look, but this is not that situation, and sources have not been provided that show that WP:BEFORE was not done. I have looked for sources, as I assume everyone here has. That none have been presented is only evidence of the lack of notability of the subject. Regardless of why the article arrived here, it's here at AfD now and we must examine the article on its own merits rather than on our perceptions of the nominator (two of the three keep arguments are based solely on the merits on the nominator, rather than any guideline or policy-based argument on the article itself). As for the third keep argument, that the article's subject has an ongoing career is not an argument for notability, if anything that just indicates a possible WP:TOOSOON issue. What happens at other WikiProjects has zero bearing on this article's lack of notability. Notability's just not there. - Aoidh (talk) 13:50, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Documentary film about the Bolivarian Revolution that presents no claim to notability. Sources in the article are a blog and a film database (cited twice in different guises) and that's all we have. Search shows no critical reception, impact, discussion or other evidence from RS this film passes WP:GNG let alone WP:NFILM, no awards, critical reviews etc Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:24, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article meets WP:GNG because its coverage is independent. I have fixed the PM Press link, which previously linked to the already cited Filmzie page. I'm not sure what's the blog that is being referred to, but Caracas Chronicles besides analysis and opinion pieces, the outlet also focuses on news articles and has editorial oversight that a blog doesn't; its entry can be seen at WP:VENRS. Given the distribution of the film and its release on Amazon Prime (In The Shadow Of The Revolution), the article should meet WP:NFILM too. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:09, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can see Caracas Chronicles' entry at WP:VENRS. The website counts with experienced journalists and has editorial oversight, meaning that it is not a self published source or match the definition one would expect in WP:BLOGS. A better comparison for their analyses could be the ones in The Economist, Foreign Policy or Americas Quarterly --NoonIcarus (talk) 19:57, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment regarding above - Yes NoonIcarus, that's what I am thinking too. There are a lot of hits of Caracas Chronicles in Google News. And there are many sites that are blogs but reliable news sources. So I would say that Caracas Chronicles is a reliable source. Karl Twist (talk) 08:14, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The first sites looks like a blog, states it a blog and states states "friend of.." so doesn't seem to be editorially independent in this instance. The other similar to IMDB, i.e. film/cast listing sitres are they are likely Non-RS. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Don't see any reviews on a before. It just to be there mates and some IMDB style listings. scope_creepTalk 09:35, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

Documentary film about a Ramen chef - first and foremost fails WP:GNG, sourcing is to festival website, blogs, licensing company etc. No independent, in-depth coverage. Search throws up very little else and nothing of weight/note. Festival screening alone does not confer notability (for historical notability, "The film was given a commercial re-release, or screened in a festival, at least five years after initial release.") but this 2013 film doesn't qualify for that clause. Fails WP:NFILM. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:43, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment from what I'm seeing on google it's surprising that neither Kazuo Yamagishi or the other documentary about them, Ramen Heads, seem to have pages. Creating a page Kazuo Yamagishi faeturing both documentaries seems like a possible option? Artw (talk) 16:07, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tsukemen does have a page but probably isn't very useful as a merge target. Artw (talk) 16:09, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah he does have a page, but it's pretty brief Kazuo_Yamagishi..and I don't think he would be researchable (unless you read Japanese) to find much more on him. If "the God of Ramen" doco info was added, it would be 95% of the content, so as mentioned, not a suitable merge target. Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:32, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I do think the additional sources listed above create enough notability for it to meet WP:GNG and WP:NFILM (and also more specifically WP:NFO in terms of the festival screenings). It's not the most solid case of notability if what's here is all there is, but it does have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject, which is specifically what WP:GNG asks for. - Aoidh (talk) 13:58, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. WP:ONEEVENT is not applicable here; this is an article on an event, not a person, so the appropriate guideline is WP:EVENT. Many "delete" !voters have cited that the event fails WP:LASTING, but that is only one of several criteria. Ultimately, the various criteria in WP:EVENT are relatively subjective, and with an evenly split !vote count and without one side's arguments being clearly stronger than the other's, this seems to be the appropriate result.

The tragic death of a little boy in Afghanistan briefly caught media attention because of the rescue attempt. PRODed, denied. WP:ONEEVENT and WP:NOTMEMORIAL apply here - Haider himself, other than for the manner of his passing, is not notable. "Subjects of encyclopedia articles must satisfy Wikipedia's notability requirements. Wikipedia is not the place to memorialize deceased friends, relatives, acquaintances, or others who do not meet such requirements." Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:57, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. No evidence of lasting coverage. BilletsMauves€500 08:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think the two guides/policies are cited in error. I'll explain: WP:ONEEVENT is satisfied. The nominator is correct that Haider is not notable outside the event, and that's fine, because this is an event article, not a biography. WP:ONEEVENT basically helps us chose between an article about a person or an event, and they creator of this article followed the correct path. The relevant part of WP:NOTMEMORIAL is correctly mentioned above, wikipedia isn't the place to memorialise friends etc, but in the context of this event making the front page of global news for days, it is unlikely that the editor created this because they are friends or family of the victim. What we should be considering is WP:EVENT. That gives us a few factors to consider, I'll paraphrase them here:
  1. WP:LASTING did the event lead to something else. Not yet. So on this sub-part of the guidance, we are guided to delete
  2. WP:GEOSCOPE did the event get wide geographic coverage. Absolutely yes. On this sub-part of the guidance, we are guided to keep
  3. WP:DEPTH the coverage needs to be deep, not passing mentions. Ideally feature length articles. I saw more than passing mentions, but not in depth coverage, this on this sub-point, it's 50/50 to me.
  4. WP:PERSISTENCE was there just a burst of coverage, or was it ongoing. It was a burst. News seems to have stopped covering this after a few days. But then events in Afghanistan were dramatic this year, and I'm judging this by English sources only. Guidance leans me towards delete, but I'm giving some leniency due to the location.
  5. WP:DIVERSE calls for different sources. There really was a wide variety of sources, this sub points guides us to keep
So the article meets two and fails two (one with caveats) and is 50/50 on one. That's just above 50% as per my perspective. I think we should give it some time to see if the coverage is persistent. From memory backed by searches, this was huge news for a few days. Let's keep it for now. CT55555 (talk) 02:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - If we just look at this through the lens of WP:GNG then notability is absolutely there. I fully agree with CT55555's analysis above concerning WP:ONEEVENT. As far as WP:NOTNEWS my knee-jerk reaction was to say that it applies, but if you click on WP:NOTNEWS and actually read the bullet points, which of those applies and makes this worth deletion? The closest I could find is "news reports" but this is not routine news and while yes it is a single event (WP:ONEEVENT) the notability does appear to be enduring given the global coverage of the event. - Aoidh (talk) 14:06, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Trying really hard to reach notability, but sadly falling short. Article created by a WP:SPA and moved directly to mainspace. I looked for sources on the quotes about the book that are currently cited to the book's back cover, but even if they checked out, that's still a failure of WP:INHERITED and WP:NAUTHOR.

  • Delete I went back to look at the sources for this article, besides the ones I commented on a few days ago.

  • Delete: Per Papaursa, as lacking notability. It is likely too soon. An indication of a pseudo biography or a resume can be found when there is only professional accomplishments, which are only parts of a BLP, and content such as "Starting his first fighting career...", "Starting out his MMA career...", and "King made his Bellator debut" are good indicators pointing to "just a resume". The elaborate "MMArecordbox" does not enhance an article as some seems to think and being a "fairly prominent competitor" is not a criteria to advance notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 12:44, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. From my PROD statement: I doubt the topic is notable and I was unable to find any sources that could contribute to it meeting the WP:GNG or WP:NCORP, including the sources on the German Wikipedia. The contesting editor (User:Baptx) added some better non-company-affiliated sources to the article, but I found that [6] is not significant coverage, only giving two sentences' mention. The other one, [7], is paywalled but even if its content is independent (see WP:ORGIND), I doubt it has significant coverage especially if it is like this non-paywalled article on the same event. Notability is not inherited, and an article that primarily discusses an executive staffing change likely does not give enough WP:CORPDEPTH to its coverage about the company itself.

Due to the page name that the article is at, I think that the page should become a redirect to Durability (adjective-to-noun redirect) again. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 17:19, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I thought it would be best to respond to the concerns that article creator User:Baptx had about the deletion here. Sources must be independent, reliable, give significant coverage of the subject, and should be secondary sources to contribute to the topic meeting the WP:GNG (or WP:NCORP, which offers more guidance). Though the sources added are secondary, in my judgment both are trivial coverage. Though it does have a page on the German Wikipedia, that doesn't necessarily make it worthy of an article on the English Wikipedia, especially as how I think that the sources there are deficient. I did try to find sources myself before PRODing the article, but I didn't find any good sources (it also doesn't help that I can't read German and must rely on translation). (The article has also been problematic for years; it hasn't had a single independent source since it was created until today) —Danre98(talk^contribs) 17:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Instead of the paywalled article, we can use another one like https://www.highlight-web.de/6059/durable-rolf-schifferens/ which shows that the company is notable enough in Germany to have an article on its own, in addition to being visited by a prime minister in the article https://www.welt.de/regionales/mecklenburg-vorpommern/article239508845/Schwesig-besucht-Polen-Stettin-als-Entwicklungsmotor.html. I don't see a problem with the article page name because there is a link to Durability article. But if necessary, it is still possible to change the name to "Durable (company)" and create a disambiguation page "Durable". For other advantages of keeping the article, I wrote about it in the talk page of the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Durable#Secondary_sources. Baptx (talk) 16:18, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • The highlight-web article does not give any notability because it (1) is a routine coverage of the arrival/departure of personnel (listed as an example of trivial coverage at Wikipedia:CORPDEPTH) and does not give significant coverage of the company itself. (2) It is also not independent of the company with the content coming directly from a press release. A visit by a prime minister also doesn't contribute to notability because of how little coverage that visit generated (not significant coverage). It's not so much a question of "does this deserve an article" as it is "does adequate sourcing exist that could be used to make an article? If not, then the topic should not have an article".
    • I mentioned the page name because I wanted to indicate that I think the article should be pseudodeleted; I'd rather not talk about disambiguation or moving the page unless there is a consensus to keep the article. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 20:39, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I should probably address how much having an article benefits the reader. I don't think it benefits the reader as currently written because it only gives a short description about what the company makes, which anyone that wants to look up the company probably already knows. In addition, sourcing doesn't exist that lets the article be larger than a few probably-meaningless sentences (i.e. Durable was visited by a politician on [date]) while also not being promotional and not relying on what the company says about itself for sources. There simply isn't good information to use to write a useful article on the company. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 21:10, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • The English article can be improved by translating contributions from the German article. For information, a request to delete the German article was already made and rejected: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:L%C3%B6schkandidaten/31._Januar_2008#Durable_(erl.,_bleibt). --Baptx (talk) 21:15, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • The dewiki request to delete the article should have no bearing on this discussion because (1) the discussion occured in 2008, and community opinions on what should and shouldn't be in Wikipedia, among other things, have probably shifted since then and (2) the deletion discussion occured on another wiki; the German Wikipedia has different policies than this wiki. Dewiki (link to policy: de:WP:RKU), considers any buisness with over 1000 employees or a profit(?) of 100k euros to be notable. That is not true on the English Wikipedia. That (along with business tradition) is why it was kept; that policy doesn't apply here. As to information from there improving the current english wikipedia article, I find that unlikely given that most of the material seems to be sourced from the company itself.
        • I did find a book source that was added around the time of the AfD [8] that seems to have been removed in a 2010 edit war. That book, unfortunately, is not independent of the company because it is authored/published/whatever by the German Marketing Organization and, in my mind, is closely affiliated with the company. It otherwise seems to be good quality. —Danre98(talk^contribs) 03:32, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to Draft:Durable (company) and redirect title to Durability. This company is not the primary topic, even if it is notable, which I doubt. BD2412 T 22:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Moving to Durable (company) without draft should be fine also, so the interlanguage links will still work and people from the German Wikipedia will find the English article more easily if they want to contribute. Also drafts are automatically deleted after some time so the article could lose all contributions history. Baptx (talk) 18:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Moving it to Durable (company) would mean keeping the article, which I am opposed to given my concerns above (primarily poor available sourcing and a lack of information to provide to readers, resulting in deficient notability). —Danre98(talk^contribs) 02:01, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support move, rename, and redirect per BD2412. As per Nom there is no indication of notability (also noting ambiguity) for a stand alone page. A stub-class article needs to have at least some "rudimentary information about a subject", certainly more than a "dictionary entry". "Durable" is ambiguous and has competition with the accepted dictionary meaning: "able to withstand wear, pressure, or damage; hard-wearing." While entries from other editions of Wikipedia is certainly sought it does not mean coverage in another language gives an automatic pass (WP:NOTINHERITED) for inclusion in this encyclopedia. -- Otr500 (talk) 15:32, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm okay with draftification, partly because Baptx might want plenty of time to incubate the article. However, if Baptx doesn't have interest in improving the article in draftspace, then I don't think draftification is much different than outright redirection (which is fine). —Danre98(talk^contribs) 17:39, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Baptx: (sorry but I don't Twitter) The article is listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany#Article alerts and I am sure there is a place on the German Wikipedia to advertise a need for help. A problem on this encyclopedia is that primary and press release sources do not contribute to notability. If being moved to draft, as an ATD, is seen as a possible temporary reprieve, that is better than the obvious policy given direction that it can be deleted as not notable. If nobody decides to contribute then it is possible there simply is a lack of notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 23:45, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a short film, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NFILM. As always, we don't automatically want to maintain an article about every single film that exists, and are looking for markers of significance such as notable film awards and/or the reception of significant critical attention from professional film critics -- but the only notability claim on offer here is that the film exists, and the only sourcing is a small cluster of "film shot locally" coverage in the community hyperlocals serving the small town where it was shot, which isn't enough coverage to hand it a WP:GNG-based exemption from having to have a stronger notability claim than just existing.

  • Delete This is an organization and therefore the appropriate guideline is WP:NORG which required in-depth sources which speak directly about the topic organization and also contains "Independent Content" from sources unaffiliated with the topic org. Not a single source meets the criteria. First, all of the sources which are affiliated with the Evangelical church - they fail ORGIND as they are not considered "Independent Content". Even leaving that aside and looking at the content of the best of the non-PRIMARY articles: we have an article from "Evangelical Times" reporting on earthquake-damaged churches - no in-depth information on the topic organization fails ORGDEPTH; we have a PDF with an article primarily about Ram Nepal and almost nothing about the topic org, fails ORGDEPTH also; we have an Earthquake appeal, fails ORGDEPTH and ORGIND; we have an article discussing the involvement of MINTS in Nepal, fails ORGIND and ORDDEPTH; finally we have a mention-in-passing in a list. None of the Keep !voters have provided any guideline-based reasoning nor pointed to specific sources and explained why they meet our criteria for establishing notability. Topic fails NORG.

Check out the definition of "Independent Content" in WP:ORGIND which is the appropriate guideline for this organization. HighKing++ 10:15, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. HighKing++ 11:08, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per Nom, HighKing, and nirmal. One of our fundamental principles is Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view" that includes All articles must strive for verifiable accuracy, citing reliable, authoritative sources... The policy on verifiability includes Wikipedia:No original research. Primary sources, or those closely affiliated, do not advance notability. While there is continued minority religious persecution the federal, democratic republican state (a multi-party parliamentary republic?) claims to provide a clear provision (Article 23) for religious freedom and tolerance. A church with a supposed 800 member organizations (56,956 sq mi) is not small so "someone" would surely write about it. This article and ones like Continental Reformed Protestantism (tagged since 2008 with no sources) should have secondary sources not as a result of earthquake damage. The WP:BURDEN does not rest on those that have done a WP:BEFORE (d #3). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otr500 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC) == Otr500 (talk) 08:59, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Redirect to Netsuke#Artists where it is already briefly described. The book appears to be famous for its descriptions of individual artists, see e.g. (Brinkley 1902) Japan Its History Art and Literature, multiple pages (searching "Soken Kisho" without diacritics shows other such references), Worldcat, but I am having difficulty finding sources describing the full work in a fashion that would support a standalone article. 68.189.242.116 (talk) 17:15, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect but "already briefly described" is also not the full story, since the description at netsuke is too long too and it was added by the same user at the same time.

  • I don't really understand the deletion policy, but the only thing I can say is that this is not a list book. This book is about sword fittings(this is what I found when I looked up the English translation of the Japanese word '刀装具'; it refers to the decoration of the sword) and the netsuke masters list is just an appendix. As far as I could find out, the book is not very well known and the people listed are not prominent enough to be written in Netsuke#Artists. --Tmv (talk) 08:40, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"By 1781, Inaba Tsuryu (Shineimon) of Osaka, a connoisseur of sword fittings, could devote almost one volume of his Sōken Kishō (which can be translated as "A Treasury of Sword Fittings and Rare Accessories") to fifty-five netsuke carvers of his day and their designs... By the nineteenth century, however, many of the carvers cited in the Sōken Kishō had come to be considered originators of schools in their own right."

  • Comment -- Even if this is an important book in Japanese, it does not mean that it is notable in English. The article consists of a list of practitioners described in the book, of whom I think none has an English WP article; at least I saw no link.

  • Delete/Redirect to List of Uttarakhand cricketers I'm not seeing enough for a GNG pass here, despite the confusion over the spelling of his name, with CA suggesting Ankit Manor and Cricinfo suggesting Ankit Manori, however with both and previous on Indian cricketers who've played a few games, not really seeing enough.

The list is quite short in this case (51 players per CA). Usually I'd do it, but I'll be away from the machine I can easily access CA on for a week, so it couldn't happen before 8 August at the earliest. This is, though, the best alternative in this case and the list could be created as an incomplete list - this has happened before and can work as a placeholder until someone with CA access can get to the list.

  • Comment even after the clean up, I'm trying to understand what she founded or why it's notable. Beyond simply stating facts, there is nothing to show that's she's much different than anyone else with a business career would be. Selling real estate is not notable and very routine, the Lifecard company thing doesn't tell me what it does or why it's notable. It could be a Fortune 500 company or it could be an e-commerce thing she's trying to launch. It appears she trains other real estate salespeople. That's usually a requirement to get a sales license for real estate, at least in my corner of the world. I'm not seeing notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:10, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Our personal opinions and likes/dislikes don't matter here. Wikipedia is all about significant media coverage and the reliability of cited sources and that is what she has, making her different from other businesspersons. The real questions to be discussed here are whether:
    1) the cited sources give significant coverage, i.e., talk mainly about her or just passing mentions?
    2) the cited sources when combined make a case for notability or not?
    3) the cited sources are independent of her? or they are press releases or sponsored content?
    It would be beneficial if you could analyze the sources in this way, otherwise you have already voted "delete" above. Insight 3 (talk) 03:45, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. 3 new references have been added to the article:
  1. Vanguard Nigeria
  2. The Sun [10]
  3. CED Magazine
  • Comment these three are more of the same churnalism. The first two are puff pieces about her book launch. They contain lengthy paragraphs of quotation from her, not in depth coverage of her. The third (CED magazine) isn’t a piece of original journalism at all and says “source: Business Day”. Mccapra (talk) 05:09, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I would ask again, "How do we prove that its churnalism? The cited articles are not press releases, neither they are bylined as "Featured post", "Editor" or "Agency report" to be suspected of being sponsored content (see WP:NGRS)"? And its not unusual for news features to quote subject's own words, this doesn't simply depreciate the source. We just don't take the info described inside the quotation marks.
    For the third reference, the source "Business Day" itself is reliable, but is not available online. Insight 3 (talk) 06:17, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    So we remove the quotes and we have three pieces confirming she wrote a book, with nothing of substance. Still nothing notable for our purposes. Of note, the Sun piece is tagged as "advertisement". The third source is written by Grace, the source of the article here. Have you even read what we require for sources? These are not acceptable. Oaktree b (talk) 17:09, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Advertisement tag in The Sun?? Not that I can see. The CED Mag's page has tagged "Grace Ofure Ibhakhomu", the article is not written by her. Otherwise, how could she write about herself in "third person"?
    Also in a BLP, not all cited sources are supposed to be covering subject's whole life and career from A to Z. A biography is based on the info taken from multiple sources. The first two sources are about her new books and they are cited in the "book section" of the article. They indicate the author is notable enough to be covered along with the news of her new books in national newspapers. Insight 3 (talk) 03:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mccapra... I'm waiting for your response. Insight 3 (talk) 03:20, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi I agree I don’t see where the piece in the Sun is tagged as an advertisement. Also the CED piece is tagged with GO’s name as you say, not attributed to her. So I agree that neither source has the shortcomings that Oaktree b suggests. Nevertheless these are classic pieces of churnalism. The ‘journalist’ basically gives the subject free rein to tell the world how marvellous they are, or takes a piece authored by the subject or their PR team and slightly reworks it to make it look like they interviewed them. These pieces are the opposite of in depth coverage and this kind of fawning profile is never accepted on Wikipedia as indicating notability. Mccapra (talk) 06:13, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It might have been an advertisement for the pop up box that wouldn't load to be fair. I'm still not sure the second source doesn't count as churnalism, but I digress. Oaktree b (talk) 10:39, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mccapra Thanks but I was looking for your response to my above reply to your comment, not to Oaktree b's assessment. Anyway, I want to conclude it now:
    1) Do you agree now that the cited sources are not "sponsored" or "paid" stuff as you suspected earlier? If yes, then it means you agree the sources are independent.
    2) I think you have no issue with the reliability of the cited sources per WP:NGRS, right?
    3) The sources mainly and directly talk about the subject and 14 sources together make a case for notability per WP:NBASIC (as it says:"If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability"), so the coverage is significant, isn't it?
    4) Regarding your charge of churnalism, I would say the WP:GNG doesn't say anything about the "quality of journalism" and rightly so, because differentiating between journalism and churnalism can often be very subjective thing. Though I disagree that all the cited references in the article are works of churnalism, but even if we assume you are right, then most of Nigerian sources are like this. For example, consider Folorunso Alakija, the richest Nigerian businesswoman. She is lucky that she also has media coverage in some Western sources (like Times, Forbes, etc), but when it comes to Nigerian sources, just see the "churnalism" in this reference: Vanguard
    And the "puff piece" here: The Nation
    Now take another top Nigerian businesswoman Stella Chinyelu Okoli. She relies mostly on Nigerian sources for her notability and by your standards the cited articles are no better than Grace Ofure. Just have a look at 2 of them:
    Vanguard, a classic puff piece (as you say)
    This Day
    I'm not suggesting at all that these bios should be removed from Wikipedia and I am quite aware of that two wrongs don't make a right. I am just making the point this is how journalism usually works in most parts of the globe (including Nigeria) and the notable subjects should not pay the price for poor journalism. Insight 3 (talk) 11:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the point to remember is that if these were published anywhere else, she would not at all be notable. I don't think we can give a pass for poor journalism. Founding a company isn't notable, teaching a class for real estate agents isn't notable. It's all rather routine stuff she's doing. Same as anyone else in her position would do. Oaktree b (talk) 14:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The CED piece lists her as "visionary business leader and iconic force in the global real estate market". Puffery, hence churnalism. Oaktree b (talk) 14:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the ping but I don’t think I have anything more to add and haven’t changed my view. Articles with this quality of referencing get deleted all the time and I’m just not seeing what would get this subject over the bar. Mccapra (talk) 20:03, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks. I guess we are done here then. Insight 3 (talk) 02:59, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. To sum up the discussion from my side:
  1. I asked it twice, "how can the sources be suspected as "sponsored" or "paid" content, when they are not press releases, neither they are bylined as "Featured post", "Editor" or "Agency report" to be suspected of being sponsored content (per WP:NGRS)?", the nominator and others never directly responded to it. This is a critical inquiry because if this is not the case, then clearly the sources are independent of the subject.
  2. Even when I broke everything into points for them, they repeated just 2 words "puff pieces" and "churnalism" again and again without mentioning any Wiki policy to back and clarifying that how the "assumed churnalism" is fault of the subject if the cited sources are independent.

Now I leave it up to the community and the admins. Thanks everyone. Insight 3 (talk) 03:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's more the fact that both use flowery language as I highlighted above. For an iconic force in the global real estate market, she's unknown outside of her home country, which tells me it's not notable and "puffing up" her stature. Oaktree b (talk) 15:26, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just an update. One more recent reference regarding her book launch has appeared:

Business Day ... Needless to say though, The Business Day (Nigeria) is a reliable source per WP:NGRS. Also to be noted, the 3 cited references for her books are mutually independent in their reporting of the same event. Insight 3 (talk) 08:12, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's a very brief mention of a book launch, reliable yes, trivial mention, yes. Not terribly useful. Oaktree b (talk) 18:53, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Kges1901:, You do realize that what you can see from that page is only a tiny preview of each much longer article?

Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:43, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When the article is under 500 words, I have found that the likelihood that there is enough coverage for an article is pretty low, and from what I can see of the articles they seem to fit the pattern of being relatively passing routine mentions. Because Jørgen Nielsen is a common name in Denmark, we can't be certain that newspaper articles are actually about him, and many of them are from outside of the time period that he was actively playing during. making it unlikely that they are actually about him. Using more restrictive searches in the newspaper database such as this significantly reduces the number of hits, which are mostly not from the right period. Even using booleans in newspaper database searches is not foolproof because they will still pick up on unconnected usages of words in unrelated articles.

Relisting comment: The existence of search results does not contribute toward notability, and at least a couple of the "keep" !votes are meaningless word salads; however, nobody seems to have analyzed the Danish sources in detail either.

  • Redirect as above, as while it isn't unreasonable to imagine offline sources do exist in Danish, we can't just assume they do and keep on that basis alone. The BNA search results don't assert notability, even from the little that can be retrieved from the free search preview and his time in the UK seemed very limited, so unlikely to much in British media. Redirecting seems the best compromise. Bungle (talk • contribs) 17:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or redirect, although the title is not a search term anyone would ever use... Anyway, there is NO presumption of notability or SIGCOV afforded to footballers. You cannot justify a presumption of SIGCOV based on someone having played football at a "high level" because that exact justification has been deprecated. Therefore, claims that sources exist in an inaccessible database where all we get is hits on a very common name must be rejected. Additionally, the lack of even a single cited SIGCOV source means this article fails the requirements for sportsperson articles and would need exceptionally compelling IAR arguments to be retained.

  • Given the sorts of coverage that Lugnuts has found above, as well as the mention at the article linked from his CricInfo profile and so on, I think keeping is probably justified in this case.

The result was redirect to List of United States ODI cricketers. I have to discount the "keep" opinions because they mostly do not address what community consensus has established every biography needs: substantial coverage in reliable sources. And those that do cite sources do not (or unconvincingly) address the concerns raised about these sources that they are not substantial coverage.

    WP:NCRIC (WP:CRIC is the wikiproject) states that significant coverage is likely to exist for international cricketers in Test playing nations.

There's evidence through those that he is also referred to Sai Mukkamalla, Sai Teja Mukkamalla and Sai Reddy Mukkamalla.

  • Keep/Redirect to List of United States ODI cricketers There's clearly coverage on this player, he gets absolute heaps of mentions in a simple google search, which would normally suggest that there is likely something out there that would pass him for GNG, however in this albeit simple search I've not really found anything other than these passing mentions (although absolutely loads of them). I'd like to think with these amounts of mentions there is enough for a GNG pass, hence me suggesting keep, although I wouldn't mind a redirect here per WP:ATD until a bit more turns up, which I believe it will. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 08:58, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think there's a little bit more than just passing mentions, but we'd need to build a more significant set of those to meet WP:BASIC. I doubt I'll be able to find time over the next week to do the sorts of work that would be necessary to do this, so there's nothing wrong with the non-destructive remedy of using a redirect for now. I suspect there's more to come on the chap, fwiw. Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:47, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing that has been presented meets the requirements of GNG/BASIC/SPORTCRIT; specifically, primary sources "do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject", and (other than the usual databases) routine passing mentions in primary sports reporting is pretty much all that has been shown to exist. In these cases, lists serve our readers better than producing unbalanced stub articles synthesised from such sources. wjematherplease leave a message... 11:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of United States ODI cricketers. The keep arguments allude to sources but other than one borderline source above, nothing has been found. "There should be sources" is not and has never been an argument for notability and WP:NCRIC only says "Significant coverage is likely to exist" it does not say that playing at a certain level creates notability. NCRIC only says there may be sources at a certain level; it is neither a guarantee that sources will exist, nor does playing at any given level create even an assumption of notability. Sources are still required and notability must be demonstrated; we can't allude to hypothetical sources as a reason to keep an article, and per WP:GOOGLEHITS having "absolute heaps of mentions" on Google doesn't mean anything as it's the quality and significance of coverage that matters. - Aoidh (talk) 16:35, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • When you say As I said before what are you referring to? Your first comment literally only said "Per BST, Lugnuts, and StickyWicket", none of whom make any argument for keeping the article in line with any Wikipedia policy or guideline. As for your sources, every single one of those is a trivial mention, and do not contribute to WP:BASIC in any way, and fall far short of WP:GNG. If those are the most "significant" sources that can be found, that's just evidence that there should not be an article of this subject on Wikipedia. - Aoidh (talk) 20:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I said “as said before”, in reference to BST and Rugby. And Lugnuts and StickyWicket were just adding on to what BST had said. Lugnuts gave a decent secondary source (an example of a “significant” passing mention, as part of WP:BASIC) and StickyWicket just agreed with both BST and Lugnuts. And, in remarks to my “trivial” mentions, there are far more mentions lurking on the Internet and these sources were just some among others which provides more than just a regard in his performance in matches. --WellThisIsTheReaper Grim 23:55, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • It doesn't matter how many trivial mentions there are out there, they don't contribute to notability and at that point you're just appealing to WP:GHITS. None of those sources describe the subject in any detail beyond passing mentions other than the one single one Lugnuts provided, and even that's not significant coverage. If you had a great number of those kinds of sources that would be an argument for WP:BASIC, but these trivial mentions don't cut it. I would say that this for example could not be more trivial, but this somehow manages. These are as trivial as it is possible to get while still somehow managing to have his name in the source. I think you would be hard pressed to find a source that says less about him while still including his name...and this is the best we can do for sources? This is what you linked as examples of why the article should be kept? All that does is highlight that even the people arguing to keep the article can't find coverage of the article's subject and can't justify it being on Wikipedia. - Aoidh (talk) 01:07, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per BST (...least two in-depth TV style interviews...). Also meets the updated WP:NSPORT notability guideline: "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below", so going down to the cricket notability states "Have played at the international level for a Test-playing nation" and she has, having played for Pakistan. She's also in the squad for the Commonwealth Games that is happening right now too, suggesting coverage for her exists, albeit not in English. At worst, redirect per RugbyFan Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:36, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of Pakistan women Twenty20 International cricketers - The sources just aren't there. Also to counterpoint what Lugnuts said above, he's leaving out a very important aspect of the cricket specific listing at WP:NSPORT. It does not say "cricket notability" or that notability is met if they play at an international level. What is says is: "Significant coverage is likely to exist for a cricket figure if they...Have played at the international level for a Test-playing nation." Additionally it says "cricketers who have played...in the lower levels of international cricket, may have sufficient coverage about them to justify an article, but it should not be assumed to exist without further proof." So with higher international players we can assume there's coverage, with lower international players we can't assume there's coverage. It says nothing about making one notable, it literally only is a guidance on the likelihood of coverage and is not a judgement on notability in any way. Whether this is a higher or lower level of international play I honestly do not know (I'm assuming it's higher) but the end result is the same, reliable sources still need to exist. Whether we should assume coverage or not, we still have to actually provide the coverage to meet WP:GNG, and this article's subject does not. - Aoidh (talk) 16:45, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a thing called "gravity chess", as explained in this article. However, the game described in this article (and in the images) is not that version, but some new version which doesn't have any reliable sources to support it. If an article for the "real" gravity chess should exist, then WP:TNT comes into play; better to start from scratch than to start from an article which from the very start was about the "wrong" version. Fram (talk) 15:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • As mentioned in my edit history, this article was modeled after other variant articles such as Balbo's game, Cross chess, Double chess, Masonic chess, Rhombic chess, Alice chess, Apocalypse (chess variant), Chad (chess variant), Congo (chess variant), Jeson Mor, Andernach chess, Beirut chess, Checkless chess, Cubic chess, Hostage chess, Losing chess, Legan chess... I could keep going. There seems to be nothing specifically or unusually bad about this article, except that it doesn't have a reference in Pritchard. Oeoi (talk) 15:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunately, Delete unless someone can find a genuine reliable source relating to this variant of chess. When the only reliable source in an article refers to something different that has the same name, there is a big problem. Google searches come up with a third thing, different again, also called Gravity chess, a sort of balancing plastic board that tips: [24]. We need several secondary sources unconnected with the originator, and reliable, before we can write anything. Elemimele (talk) 16:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete/Redirect per nom. I saw this article yesterday, and wanted to draftify or nominate it to AfD. There's no more refs that can be found on Google, News, Books, and so on. Firstly, it does seem that the article has WP:OR, I suppose its history section, The idea of "falling pieces" in chess variants is often traced back to the development of online chess, where boards on a screen are often displayed "vertically". Early variants of gravity chess, such as Pippin Barr's version, developed in 2019, had gravity act in the direction of increasing files, and pawns did not serve as anchors. This variant, however, led to draws most of the time, tries to explain the new version with rules change, but with a single ref that's probably the worst SPS I ever saw (can't believe a website made in 2022 would be so bad) with no about us or policies whatsoever that also fails to explain the new version. Then there's this source, I suppose it's so poor, we don't even need to debate if it's an RS or SIGCOV. Considering that the game's very similar to the entry of the article at List of chess variants (though that's an older version, this is a newer one with rules change), we could redirect this, but I prefer deletion slightly. Considering the OR and poorness of the article, there isn't much to merge, I've already added the single ref counting to GNG in the list article. Therefore, I don't support a merge, and would agree for deletion per nom or redirecting. VickKiang (talk) 04:49, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. If the PC Gamer article isn't about the described game there is not even the barest glimmer of notability here. Not even notable enough for listing at List of chess variants. Many of the variants listed by Oeoi could do with serious consideration of deletion as well, there are far too many of these articles. --LukeSurl t c 20:13, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm not going to lose any sleep if List of chess variants keeps the Gravity chess line that was added recently. But that list is a bit of a dumping ground for variants with little or no evidence of substantial play and could do with cleanup. LukeSurl t c 12:09, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and tag for additional refs and inline citations. The article on the Quintetto Chigiano was written as a "starter" stub several years ago, and needs more adequate verification sources listed inline: I agree. However it was certainly a notable classical ensemble, and if the page is removed it will in due course be necessary to replace it. As it stands, the reference listed under "Sources" as Sackville-West and Shawe-Taylor, together with the selection of Decca recordings listed with their reference data, ought to be sufficient to verify their notability for the purposes of a "stub", which this is. I suggest that, rather than deletion, it would be more useful and appropriate to tag the page with a request for (a) additional references and (b) more specific inline citation, and allow a further amount of additional time for these to be found and added.Eebahgum (talk) 14:32, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This page is not required. In Enwiki there is only one article titled, or might otherwise be titled, Mawsim, and that article has a hatnote to wikt. No other entry on the page is a valid entry per MOS:DAB. PROD removed by @Arminden:. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 12:35, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: it serves the user. That should be enough. One page covering the whole range of meanings and variants, which Mawsim does not. Moussem (Arabic) is a variant and has one more article. Similarly Mevsim (Turkish), which has several related articles. Neither Wiktionary (of which there are two linked pages, not just one!), nor Mawsim covers the range of topics bundled together here. Also, given the range and importance of the Arabic/Muslim term mawsim/moussem, there are certainly more articles to come: google for these terms and see for yourselves. Just one example: "Moussem Moulay Abdellah Amghar", the moussem from the commune of Moulay Abdellah, has been proposed for the UNESCO Cultural Heritage list etc. Arminden (talk) 14:07, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Policy and guidelines require disambiguation pages to adhere to standards—this does not—or articles about a topic, which this is perhaps attempting to be, to be properly-sourced to ensure WP:Verifiability—this is not. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:52, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: is there any reason why our readers would go searching for Mawsim when they are interested in Tan-Tan Moussem, or in Turkish films whose titles contain the Turkish word Mevsim? I know all three words are related and mean "Season", but to an English reader, they are spelled quite differently, and I doubt any English-speaking reader would type Mawsim when they're thinking Mevsim, or would have read a lot about Turkish films in Arabic-language sites. If no one is likely to go looking for these other pages using the word Mawsim, then the DAB isn't helping anyone. But I don't feel strongly about deleting DABs. Elemimele (talk) 16:38, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply: Wrong way round. I landed here looking for the meaning of mawsim, and by reading & editing it, I learned what it means etymologically, what it means culturally, especially in the French-influenced Maghreb, how it took a different shade when adopted by the Turks, and in the end understood a whole linguistic and cultural phenomenon. All I had known before was "fantasia", which sounded like a word made up by Europeans. That's why I used to love perusing through old encyclopaedias as a kid, and still do like getting as much of the picture as possible. One can indeed come searching for connections or know about N aspects and search for a specific additional one, but more often than not, any kind of well-written piece opens up a wider horizon than expected. The difference between an encyclopaedia and a technical tutorial. Arminden (talk) 21:26, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. All of the entries other than the primary topic are WP:partial title matches, hence there is nothing to disambiguate. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:46, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply: The conflict is between bureaucracy (rule ACX/97 §15b) vs the benefit of the user who gets the bigger picture - and there is no downside to it whatsoever. Now you tell me. Who knew before reaching this page about the connection between mawsim, moussem, mevsim, what they mean ("season" mutating to "jubilee"), and what connects them (Muslim, Arabic-based culture, which took different forms in different regions, under different influences - Bedouin/Berber, French, Turkish) before coming here? I didn't, until I did a research, which is now done and here to learn the results of. Bureaucracy is a disease that kills the spirit. Arminden (talk) 07:13, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Did someone not click the Wiktionary page from the hatnote? I agree that 'bureaucracy is a disease that kills the spirit," but I don't think that that is what is going on here. -Bejnar (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are THREE Wiktionary pages linked. I have put in 2 of the 3. The Arabic Wikt. entry is the key one and it wasn't mentioned. It's not about reading Arabic, the Wikt. entry is all in English. All information is for the English-speaking, curious user. It was also me who put in the variant "moussem" into the lead of which there was no mention, and the Turkish "mevsim". Only now one knows to connect the three, not before, and not by only looking up mawsim. That is part of the gain one has by using such a page after it evolved to the stage it's at now: one sees connections, context, lexical and semantic evolution. Not a technical spreadsheet or oversized one-way redirect, but a crossroads to related information. Arminden (talk) 16:42, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If one is looking for Turkish films, they probably should start with Lists of Turkish films and not at Mawsim. If they want to find all Wikipedia articles that mention 'mawsim' they should run that search. If there are films that primarily deal with mawsim, then an appropriate sub-section in that article could be written to cover them. Partial title matches are really only useful to the searcher where they are also known by the shorter nickname of the entry word. --Bejnar (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply: You obviously didn't read anything I wrote. Your arguments don't address even a single one of mine. This page informs about a wider context, isn't strictly about finding a link to what one already knows. Wasting my breath. Arminden (talk) 16:36, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Arminden: Wider context is usually provided in summary in the lead of an article, and in more detail in a section on etymology or history, or in a 'cultural aspects' section. That is not the function of a disambiguation page. --Bejnar (talk) 18:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bejnar, thank you for entering the argument. I've been here so many times. Theory vs reality. Do you see anywhere an enWiki article on the Arabic word for "season" and its wide & important ramifications in the Muslim world? Are you planning to write one? I guess not. Now it's here (in a minimal form), we have it, it doesn't cost anyone anything - why remove it? The only possible honest answer is: by principle, because the rules say so - which I read as: bureaucracy. Winning over intellectual benefit. See now what I mean? And because honest arguments do work like brainstorming: I'll look into the article on "season", maybe this material can be salvaged there. I'm not stubborn or irrational, I just want to combat enthropy the best I can.
I did check. It only has a natural science approach, it doesn't fit at all, unless one adds a whole new dimension to it (history, culture). A bit too ambitious for me now. This here we have already. Does anyone volunteer to start an aricle on "Mawsim (season)" ? Start with what's here, add a bit more, and we can have a useful new stub. A constructive solution. Arminden (talk) 21:11, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Arminden: You are correct, this is not the proper place for content. Articles are the proper place for content. Your research gave you context and allowed you to extract meaning from this page, others will not have that benefit when they arrive here, nor should they expect to find content here. It is not bureaucratic, it is a sensible way to organize information. In general, the map should not be confused with the territory, navigation aids should not be confused with the target. --Bejnar (talk) 14:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: Wait, not so fast! Whatever I found I put on the DAB page! The 2 very relevant additional Wikt entries, the original meaning of the word (season), the additional unchallenged example (Tan-Tan Moussem), I put some order into the lot (there was 1 Turkish movie dumped it), fixed smaller mistakes (mevsim, not mevsimi the basic form; lower-case as common nouns).
To remind you: this is how it looked like when I started editing it. Also, had I stayed away, nobody would have brought up the deletion of -- a much worse DAB. But those who want it deleted don't accept the facts, I keep on pointing them out, the same ones, and they keep on ignoring them in their counterfactual arguments. That's really not very productive. Compare the 3 January 2021 page with now: I AM SHARING my findings with the user! That's my/the whole point. Any user arriving here has it already available, and it's nowhere else -- put it in an article, and I'l transform the DAB into a redirect myself. Insisting to remove material which is useful, but not available anywhere else on enWiki for formal reasons: precisely that I call bureaucracy. And check DABs: lots of them offer the level of information found here. Again, reality vs abstract formal "rules". It goes against the spirit of Wiki, and by definition: the spirit has to have the upper hand. Even as per "the rules" :)
PS: The truth is in the pudding. I arrived on the page while editing Nebi Musa, looking for the wider meaning of mawsim: no answer back then, and very much so now. I would have been a very happy user to find what's on the page now. QED. And you want to take that away, for no gain whatsoever. Arminden (talk) 14:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the content belongs in Wikipedia, by no means certain (see WP:RS and WP:N), put it where it belongs, not hidden in a DAB page. --Bejnar (talk) 15:08, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: You can drive even a calmer person than me crazy, you know that? I'VE ANSWERED TO EVERY PART OF THAT ALREADY.
  • "If the content belongs in Wikipedia, by no means certain" - "seasons in Islamic world" not encyclopedic, in your opinion?
  • "see rule 1, rule 2" - AGAIN: not interested. This is so evidently useful encyclopedic material, we'd just end up interpreting bureaucratic rules AND contradicting the spirit of Wiki, its rule No. 1.
  • "Put it where it belongs" - it belongs nowhere else, READ ABOVE! There is no other article on "seasons in Islamic world", and Season has nothing other than natural science, zero on cultural perception. That's why I have invited you & anyone who wishes to write such articles, for which I lack the time.
  • "Not hidden in a DAB page" - not hidden at all, search for the term and it shows up. Reality check, as I said ALREADY.
I'll try to stay out of this now. I've copied the info on my hard drive, do as you like, let everyone else go buy a Britannica if they want to learn things. Arminden (talk) 16:00, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: when I created the article, I used the title Kate McCann (journalist), and had Kate McCann as a redirect to this page. The journalist page was then moved by MB to become the primary topic. I would disagree with this move - I think that the name Kate McCann, to most people in the UK, would be more familiar as the mother of Madeleine McCann than of this journalist.

  • Delete per WP:ONEOTHER. No need for a dab page with a PT and only one other ambiguous topic. Usually, if only one topic has an article, it is the primary topic. It that is not the case here, then the base name should be a redirect to the PT, and there should be a {{redirect}} hatnote there mentioning the other title.

    I would personally support this. Madeleine McCann's mother is definitely the primary topic for this name. QueenofBithynia (talk) 10:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also support this.

In fact, the NBER is the exclusive arbiter of recession dating. Moreover, there are no reliable sources saying we are now in recession after yesterday's report. soibangla (talk) 21:40, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Exclusive arbiter, yet there are recessions in countries other than the United States. Hmmm? -JoeBo82
This article specifically states "caused the beginning of a recession in the United States," not other countries. And it's false. soibangla (talk) 22:01, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
False. According to who? If you have a source proving that NBER has a monopoly what constitutes a recession, I’d love to read it. Til then, I’d say that Wikipedia should keep this stub up. -JoeBo82 — Preceding undated comment added 22:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Google "NBER official arbiter." soibangla (talk) 22:25, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JoeBo82, @Soibangla is correct. The Guardian source in the article clearly states the NBER is the official body to decide, stating, "...the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the official arbiter of when recessions begin and end." RS available here. --Kbabej (talk) 22:31, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Out of the four sources on the page, three do not mention a 2022 recession. The only reference to do so is the Guardian article which states an "unofficial start of recession"... clearly implying there is not an official recession. Otherwise this seems like OR/SYNTH. Heave ho, IMO. --Kbabej (talk) 22:29, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
By that logic there was no U.S. war in Vietnam, only an ‘intervention’. -JoeBo82 — Preceding undated comment added 22:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@JoeBo82 we go with what RS say. None of the sources in the article say there is an actual recession happening. Three don't even mention a 2022 recession, and the Guardian says it's unofficial. WP should not have an agenda in pushing an event that very clearly has not started - if it ever does. --Kbabej (talk) 22:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I knew we were in a recession early this year (I'm in a recession leading industry), but that doesn't matter since it hasn't been declared officially in the sources. This is jumping the gun, maybe to get that "article created" blip, I don't know. Regardless, it is too soon. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 00:12, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify: if you do a news search, it is obvious that the question of a recession in 2022 is a notable topic. Similarly, it is obvious that if it were determined that one were happening, this would be a notable topic as well. So one of two things will happen: it will, or it won't. Until we know what the hell is going on, it is kind of pointless to have an article navel-gazing about the possibility. Note that, for example, List of earthquakes in 2023 is a redlink, despite the blatant fact that there will be some earthquakes in 2023 -- there isn't much we can say about them because they aren't planned in advance. I move to draftify and not to delete because, if it is later determined that current economic conditions do indeed constitute a recession, writing an article about it is going to involve mentioning stuff that is currently going on; there is no need to erase the content. jp×g 03:07, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per above. Also…it seems like the topic may be notable from the lens of wider disagreement in media over whether the US is currently experiencing a recession. The current content of this article attempts to argue that there is a recession, which is OR and not an encyclopedic method of covering the discourse in reliable sources about this topic. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 04:28, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify. Very likely that 2022 will be a global recession if inflation is going to be controlled (otherwise, the next decade will be brutal). However, we are not there yet, and have no official confirmation in any major economy. So, per WP:NOTNEWS, Wikipedia should not be trying to lead/anticapte it. 78.19.229.252 (talk) 13:16, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify - although there doesn't seem to be much work that could not be recreated, there is some edit history and sources which have been in the article in the past which could be used to continue the article when an official recession is declared. Calwatch (talk) 06:30, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I propose the article be kept, but also renamed. The question of whether the US is currently in a recession is not 100% resolved, though the most popular indicator of GDP says it is. It could be renamed to 2022 Recession question or 2022 economic downturn. --Gilgul Kaful (talk) 16:04, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe that this article should remain. Most economists agree that the definition of a recession is when we have two negative quarters of growth in GDP. As this is the definition used in 2020, 2008, etc., this article should remain to not appear hypocritical. 207.255.130.213 (talk) 17:18, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Taichi Adachi won the all-around title at the 2020 Liukin Invitational Elite, which applies to WP:NGYMNAST criteria: Won a senior individual medal at an elite international competition. Also, JGA, Gymternet & FIG are all independent of Taichi Adachi himself, so sources there are independent sources. For secondary, take the example of the FIG link, as in a Secondary source, information is selected, modified and arranged in a suitable format, and the FIG must have collected information from his documents in Japanese, such as birth certificate, high school profile...NguyenDuyAnh1995 (talk) 13:15, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @NguyenDuyAnh1995 In the article, it states that Adachi is ‘currently considered one of the most promising competitors in Japan’, but the source that follows that goes to a Facebook page. Is there a more reliable source to support this claim? I haven’t been able to find any to back this claim myself, but do you have any (even if they are not in English) other sources that can back this claim as someone who is more familiar with Adachi.
    In regards to the WP:NGYMNAST, I’m not entirely swayed by the Liukin Invitational Elite as an ‘elite’ competition (I don’t necessarily agree with what defines ‘elite’, but it is what it is). Although this is a problem, I think there is also a problem with the sourcing. Personally, I don’t think he is notable for his own article. As a former gymnast myself in my youth, I would love as many gymnastic articles as possible. However, we can’t go creating articles for every gymnast who we cannot confirm are notable. Fats40boy11 (talk) 18:13, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Fats40boy11 Adachi ranked 7th at the All-Japan championships, which makes him one of the most promising. If you don’t think it should be in the article or need sources to back the claim, you are free to edit or add your opinion on the article’s talk page, not in deletion discussion. Also, Liukin Invitational Elite meets WP:NGYMNASTICS’s criteria to be an elite competition with at least 8 notable gymnasts: Junpei Oka, Kazuyuki Takeda, Seiya Taura, Asher Hong, William Emard, Javier Sandoval, Yevgen Yudenkov, Ryosuke Doi... NguyenDuyAnh1995 (talk) 18:08, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your response NguyenDuyAnh1995. However, I think it is reasonable to bring up issues with sourcing here as we may be able to improve the article rather than delete it, and this would be visible to other users who are at the AFD. It isn’t just the problem with the Facebook source, which was the one that I pointed out earlier, but the other sources as well. It feels a bit like some are mirrors of the source, which I’m sure you disagree with, but this is what I feel like when looking at it. Of course, the main issue of concern is whether Liukin Invitational Elite passes WP:NGYMNASTICS and this is what most people are more than likely going to look at in this AFD. Fats40boy11 (talk) 19:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NguyenDuyAnh1995, it is completely reasonable to mention existing sources in an AFD discussion. At some point, this discussion needs to be closed and countering opinions that there are no sources establishing notability by mentioning specific sources that do this can have an important impact on the closer's decision on whether or not an article has promise and should be kept or whether it should be deleted.

Luis Garza is a Catholic priest who served as a mid-ranking official in the Legion of Christ back in the early 2000s. He does not meet the WP:notability standards, the only non-primary source about him is an article detailing two former Legion of Christ priests’ opinions on him. All other articles sourced are either just giving him a brief name-drop or are from the Legion of Christ itself. A google search shows no secondary sources about Fr. Garza, and there is nothing inherently notable about him. He was accused of sexual assault, but later cleared of the accusations, and he served as an official in the Church. The articles about leak of offshore holdings only talk about his family’s business and the LC, with him again only being briefly mentioned.

  • Keep. Contrary to the nominator's assertion, Vargas was not a "mid-ranking official in the Legion of Christ," rather, he was the "second-in-command at the Legion"[26] as of 2006. This is, in fact, indicated by his title, since a "vicar general" is one who stands in place of another (vicar) with the power to act in most circumstances (general). The nominator states that "a google search shows no secondary sources about Fr. Garza", but even at the time of the previous AFD for this article, a commentator noted that a Google book search revealed secondary coverage mentions. That is still the case, with books by journalists Jason Berry[27], John Thavis[28], Gianluigi Nuzzi, and Frederic Martel[29] all mentioning Vargas and even directly noting his importance, Nuzzi calls him, "a figure of great importance in the life and history of the Legion"[30].

I can't access the single given source, and have the suspicion that this is a term coined by this author, rather than something in general use. But it's entirely possible that the problem is being masking by the overwhelming amount of uses of the term in geology.

If sources can be found, I guess this would still be better off merged or redirected to plane (geometry) than as a standalone. In absence of sources, suggest deletion. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 07:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment "Slab geometry" is a widely used concept in physics and engineering. Adopting a slab geometry allows for turning turning a 3D problem into a 1D problem. Gscholar yields 25,000 results for '"slab geometry" simulation' and 23,000 results for '"slab geometry" transport'. The concept is used in mathematics, too, e.g., [32] and [33]. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 09:33, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with all these hits is that what I can sample refers to physical uses of the term (which obviously are common in physics, engineering, and most of all geology). For this specific definition we need the purely mathematical one. I think one of yours [34] might do that, if I am parsing that correctly (the other [35] appears to be particle physics). Something a little more straightforward and less knurled would be even better. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 11:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We have different points of view. I consider applied mathematics, such as applied geometry, to be mathematics, so that many of the top hits are relevant. I agree with XOR'easter that the isolated concept of a slab is simple. Like the topic of periodic boundary conditions, the richness comes not in the definition, but in its application. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:15, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The source does seem to use this phrase (with a formal definition) several times as a tool (the book is a book of convex analysis; an intersection of slabs is convex; in several cases the books uses this to study a particular convex set). However, there is no content in the source about slabs beyond a definition. I can find a small number of other compatible uses, e.g., [36] and [37] and [38], so this may be a standard if not extremely common definition. I'm rather skeptical that one can spin an encyclopedic article about slabs out of these kinds of references, in which everything encyclopedic belongs to some other article (e.g., my third link could be a reference in Tarski's plank problem ("plank" in place of "slab" here), and any encyclopedic content the reference currently in slab (geometry) would go in some article about convex analysis). --JBL (talk) 21:56, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It might be hard to write an encyclopedia article on this topic, rather than a dictionary definition. XOR'easter (talk) 00:40, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Essentially this definition (but not specific to three dimensions) is standard in computational geometry; see e.g. [39] [40] [41] all using it (and not necessarily explaining it because it is standard). There's not much to say about it but then that's not really different from other geometric concepts like points and lines. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:04, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure I agree with the analogy: there's lots to say about lines as elementary and axiomatic geometry (their different representations and equations, the notion of parallelism in different geometries, ...) and points (philosophical questions about what is a point) beyond the definition -- is there really anything analogous for slabs? --JBL (talk) 17:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It's probably more similar to the linked Half-plane and Spherical shell. Equations could certainly be listed as well. With Constructive solid geometry intersecting three slabs can construct a box. Bounding volume and Convex polytope also talk about slabs. Cgbuff (talk) 20:02, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    We could certainly talk about algorithmic problems as well. In particular the minimum-width slab enclosing a set of points is the width of the set, and the minimum vertical distance instead of minimum distance between the planes gives a standard example of a low-dimensional linear program. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The linked source is accessible online / for download from the linked reference. I doubt it's coined by this author, it was just the clearest pure mathematical source I managed to find so far. Cgbuff (talk) 19:46, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I can actually access the source from this location. Doesn't work as a definition though - he just goes ahead and uses the term. Shouldn't this kind of thing be available out in an undergrad primer or suchlike? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:39, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The glossary of [42] informally defines slab. The term is also used in the slab method for point location. Cgbuff (talk) 08:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable reality television contestant; competed on, but did not win, Survivor. Bgsu98 (talk) 00:42, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Survivor was not just a reality show. It was a seminal show watched by millions of Americans. Yes, I did not win. But winning a reality show is hardly "notable." I've done many more notable things with my life, including reporting for CBS news for 9 years (network and TV) and wrote a critically acclaimed book (and authored two others) which was praised by a Nobel Peace Prize winner and a UN Ambassador of Peace. So please delete your assertion for "non-notable" because Survivor was just one facet of an interesting and contributive life. It's insulting. Also invented The Jerk at Work. Many "notable" things. Please do not be biased for whatever reason. I promise to resist this clear unfounded bias in any legal way possible. Thank you. 104.186.77.128 (talk) 01:00, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Unfortunately on Wikipedia, there's a Wikipedia:BLP1E rule, so you're permanently defined by Survivor forever. (Say in the news, the way Paul Sorvino obits constantly reference Goodfellas; any article on you will refer to Survivor, as news media consistently refer to someones root notability, but as yours is a reality show, it'll mean on here you will either be deleted or have your article redirected to a "list of contestants" page.), so there's pretty much no way this article will not be deleted. (worth noting that in entertainment this rule only gets applied to fields that women like generally, like reality tv and beauty pageants etc, meanwhile for stuff men like - like sports, they have special guidelines that protect the athletes, where just one pro game is enough, despite every media reporting them in context to their team/league/sport too). So a reality star has special guidelines that specifically sink any of their chances of having a article here. Compare your article to one like Frank Opsal. There's hundreds of undeletable articles like Opsal's. Opsal passes on a special guideline, while a special guideline blocks yours. (in a way for you to understand wiki guidelines). As a reality star (even if you're apart of a genre pioneering cast) - you just got the short end of Wikipedia's stick. It's a big claim to say that Opsal and the hundreds of other minor one line olympics athletes like him are more fundamentally important than say, the cast of a show 50 million people watched or a show in which changed the landscape of tv forever (or other major reality show winners), but that's the result Wikis guidelines enforce and this is why you're article is being deleted - purely because you're a reality star, no special bias against you specifically. 124.150.83.81 (talk) 04:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    PS just hope this is atleast consistent and that than every single article in templates like Template:Survivor (American TV series) contestants, Template:Big Brother in the United States and Template:The Bachelor are deleted, as all of these contestants are notable just for one show (not deleting just major pioneering ones like Jun Song - a major figure in the context of Asian American representation on American TV, but also Dan Gheesling if this kind of purge happens). (but it'll also be deleting the hundreds of hours of editors work because of some rule not consistently applied in other fields like sports and we'll be losing the edit history of some of these articles going back to 2004/2005). 124.150.83.81 (talk) 04:53, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    We could possibly redirect him to Survivor Borneo. Seminal show or not, this doctor isn't. Oaktree b (talk) 13:49, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    All of these reality show contestants being targeted right now for deletion should have been redirected from the start (not a fan of losing decades long edit histories); but at the same time - let's be honest here; there's many articles of cast members from seminal narrative based shows like Hugh Reilly from Lassie (1954 TV series) who are only known for one role and will only be brought up in relation to that role. These articles are not generally targeted and will be kept often. Only reality tv and soap opera articles are held to this standard in TV. (which is laughable for soap operas because one long running notable role is the point of a soap opera actors notability). Survivors first and second season were extremely important to the history of American TV (moreso than old shows like Lassie); the only reason these cast members are treated any differently than any other old show is purely because reality television generally has a negative reputation. Obviously under the current wiki rules - this guy does not qualify; but i think it speaks volumes where a show that had a double digit millions average viewers can't have 16 cast members for a article (or winners of shows like Big Brother are now being deleted); but we can have 215 articles in the Category:Shooters at the 1908 Summer Olympics; almost all stubs and which will go unchecked (olympics are seminal, not all of it's athletes) or worse, articles where the persons name isn't even known like H. Duke. Obviously the guidelines are set in stone, but it's a worthwhile question to ask why is there a difference between the guidelines and why reality television is at a specific downside compared to other fields and if it's purely because it's got a negative reputation as a field it's worth examining. Even if these were 16 perma stubs, it's no different to the hundreds of perma stub athletes. Two examples to the reality show contestant fallacy is that Jim Verraros is notable because he passes a music guideline for charting (as a minor cast member of an extremely popular reality shows first season and would never get any coverage now for anything other than the show) or that Crystal Cox would be one of the only kept Survivor contestants for passing the athlete guideline, despite winning a team medal and being stripped of her medal and likely to get very minor coverage outside of the show. All of this amounts to nothing as clearly it's unlikely important guidelines will change, but the least we can do is ponder why it's happening and it is a shame people have clearly put many hours into these contestants articles and a shame it has to be deleted on a technicality when other technicality's give rise to many examples of thousands of perma stubs. If the history of entertainment is written in 50 years, im more confident of reality television being covered in-depth than 1920s olympic shooting or olympic tug of war athletes and i do think it's a shame that we don't really do it like that here. (and if we go by reader interest after 22 years this "minor" ranked cast member gets 115,121 pageviews still [47], meanwhile olympic gold medalist H. Duke gets 969 pageviews in 7 years [48]). It's unfortunate that 100k people have to be find that information on other websites (like fan wikis) all because of some kind of inane guideline that favours 969 viewers. 124.150.83.81 (talk) 14:57, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    Your opinion is noted, but respectfully, I reported for CBS News for 9 years, a major TV news organization. It was hardly "fluff". For one year, I reported for Extra, a nationally syndicated entertainment show. I wrote a column for the Miami Herald for a few years (they were partnered with CBS). At the time, the Miami Herald was a large circulation newspaper. I wrote two books, one of which got a lot of critical acclaim including praise from Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the late Desmond Tutu--who helped bring down the Apartheid system in South Africa. Super proud of that. This book was also published oddly in Korean. And I have many more cool things planned in the years ahead.
    Thank you all for the explanations and opinions. Special thanks for the lengthy explanation of the lopsided Wikipedia rules above.
    Truthfully, everything is a lot more clear to me during this deletion experience. I'm not even sure having a presence on Wikipedia is a desirable thing. That might sound like sour grapes, or just resignation--both are probably true to some extent. But I'm a man who believes that God knows what he does. My absence from Wikipedia will be a good thing for me in the end. I'm sure of that. This was never a vanity page, and wasn't even flattering to me. Now when people Google me, they'll get my more important work as a neurologist. Which includes the description a new neurological condition related to Covid-19, which we presented at the American Academy of Neurology in April,2021 (CADMAD syndrome). Describing a condition is a very difficult and rare thing. Most doctors never get the opportunity. And we were selected to present this research at the most prestigious annual gathering of neurologists in the world.
    I'm sorry Wikipedia tasks its editors with deleting personal pages (I'd call it "unpersoning", just because I know my Orwell). That's not to say my deletion is politically motivated, because I have no firm political opinions. But I couldn't do this deletion thing, and frankly, I wouldn't do it. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right.
    Thanks again

    We do this purely as a hobby, without volunteers this thing called wiki falls apart. Oaktree b (talk) 18:22, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Being a reporter for CBS news isn't in itself notable, many hundreds of others do the same. This is SNOW at this point. A rather long missive from an individual that might or might not be the subject of the article in question. Still very minimal sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 15:30, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Let it snow. Like I said, do whatever you want to do. Everything I've done, everywhere I have worked, is easily verifiable. And since I did not write a single word on my Wikipedia page, and do not edit or contribute to Wiki (or propose articles for deletion), I certainly should not be tasked with sourcing it. I lived it. I know what I've accomplished, and a lot of it is frankly notable. I'm content with that, whether the rules of Wikipedia find me "notable" or not. It really does not matter. I get it now. I'm not sure why the wiki team here has such animus. It's palpable. I hold no such disregard for any person, or their opinions. Appreciate your team's input. Thank you for reading mine. And I do like Wikipedia. With this NOTABLE exception, I find it very useful. Have a great life. Seankenniff (talk) 18:35, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
