WP:CFORK of Erivan Province (Safavid Empire)#List of governors. In fact, its literally the same content. - LouisAragon (talk) 22:44, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes that would be feasible in regular situations. However, the creator of said page has a history of creating such forks to the point that its becoming WP:TENDENTIOUS. The AfD process "records" such editorial patterns more appropriately. - LouisAragon (talk) 14:05, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as meets GNG and creative person guidelines for work in animation now. The article was not "recreated" but expanded and rewritten after neither participant in the original AfD checked vintage newspapers for coverage, no one added coverage from Google Books, uncited info was removed, and one participant bemoaned not finding anything because they would have liked to have seen the article kept. It's a different article now than it was before. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 06:38, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am pinging Mccapra and Johnpacklambert, as they were the only two participants in the other AfD, but I'm going to ask that they consider holding off voting for a day or two because I want to go to a university library to search for an obit in Variety and other entertainment publications that I don't currently have access to at home; such things could help the notability case. As the article stands now, it is much different than it was when I asked it to be draftified to me for further research. Mccapra, I found a couple of articles from the late 1970s (which picked up by other newspapers around the country and not just local to California). John, I know this is better sourced than when you nominated it. I doubt you would have nominated it if it had been in this shape when you came across it, but that is neither here nor there and you may vote as you like or not vote at all. I hope to get to the university tomorrow and I'll let you all know either way whether I find anything and I'll add it to the article. I'll do a bit more digging in newspaper databases as well. Another note: Disney fan sites talk about Paliwoda's work on 101 Dalmatians specifically, but I can't source that from any books or other reliable sources yet, so I have removed it from the article. OK. Peace. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 17:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't find an obituary, unfortunately. There was a little bit of coverage of him in an entertainment database, but most were brief mentions in articles about the work of Duck Soup Producktions. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 22:41, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a government poly in nearly every district of Bangladesh. Most are unremarkable, run-of-the-mill organizations. Searches in English and Bengali found only listings on government pages, indiscriminate websites that scrape government databases, and wiki mirrors. There is no significant coverage in independent sources, so it does not meet WP:NSCHOOL. If it is felt that there is encyclopedic content here (2005 start date, perhaps) I could support a merge to Bangladesh Technical Education Board, where the institution is listed.

  • Delete or Redirect to List of state parties of the Libertarian Party (United States) or somewhere else per Reywas92. I don't really care, but there needs to be multiple in-depth sources that are independent of the subject to justify an article and I'm not seeing them here. Especially with the sources provided by Goldsztajn, which are extremely trivial at best and have nothing to do with the party at worst. In the meantime there's zero reason to have an article for every minor state affiliate of a political party. More so if the party affiliate has not been written about in any kind of detail or for that matter has any notable candidates who have won major elections. --Adamant1 (talk) 13:13, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This comment, copy pasted across three different AfDs, does not reflect the sources above. A five second glance at every single source above shows they discuss the Party *in* South Dakota, stating that they have "nothing to do with the party" is factually incorrect. Asserting there's zero reason for a state-based article would be correct in the absence of sources. Others may, but I wouldn't assume that there should be an article about every US state-level Libertarian Party branch, but it's clear in this case there is sufficient reliable sourcing. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 23:56, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the comments are different. Although they are similar because there's only so much to say about references and nominations that are almost exactly the same. As far as the other part of your comment goes, from what I remember the sources are extremely brief stories about "Libertarians" in South Dakota trying to get the party back on the ballot, but then that's not really directly about the Libertarian Party of South Dakota. At least not in any significant, notable, direct way that matters. You could spin the wheel and choose any random party in any random state and there would be local news stories about them trying to get on the ballot. What party doesn't to get on the ballot? That's literally what they do. Obviously there should be more then that for a party to be notable. Or at least coverage of it should be more then a paragraph byline from a local news source about some lady filing papers at her state election office or whatever. --Adamant1 (talk) 01:31, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Note: "Keep because it's an official party" or similar is not a valid argument because it does not address the reason for deletion (WP:GNG). The article needs examination on these terms.

  • Keep, plenty of WP:SIGCOV in the refs provided by Goldsztajn.Jacona (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete In no conceivable way can the sources provided above be considered significant coverage. They are trivial mentions such as gaining ballot access or opening a local branch in a small city of less than 15,000 people. They do not discuss the party in any depth. Notability is not inherited from the notable national party or automatic because they appeared on a ballot. AusLondonder (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The first sourced article is from Associated Press, it's four columns in a newspaper, around 400-500 words. The entire piece is about the Party in South Dakota. The second is two columns, about 300-400 about the party's state (ie South Dakota) convention. The third is six columns, 300-400 words about a court ruling on ballot status in South Dakota. The fourth is one column, around 300 words, dealing with creating a local branch, reporting in a statewide newspaper. The fifth, four columns, 400-500 words, discussing that the Libertarian Party will be the only opposition in a number of state wide races. The sixth is a front page article, below the fold, probably 500 words, which deals with South Dakota electoral politics in general, but foregrounds the Libertarians. The topic (South Dakota Libertarian Party) is addressed in detail, no original research is required to extract information relevant to the article; ipso facto, SIGCOV.

@Goldsztajn: Can I ask how you can believe that a trivial local newspaper mention about a political party gaining access to a ballot amounts to significant coverage? AusLondonder (talk) 15:41, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AusLondonder I assume you are talking about the first article. It's an illustrated piece of about 300 words from an almost 150 year old daily newspaper that covers half the state. The entire piece covers the party and does not require original research to extract information. What's trivial? The newspaper? The issue? SIGCOV is a qualitative assessment, not quantitative, it relates to the source itself; note the words "more than a trivial mention" in SIGCOV. The article is clearly more than a trivial mention of the Party in North Dakota. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:55, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is woeful is joining a AfD discussion by saying "keep all Libertarian state parties" with no rationale or "Keep, it's the official state affiliate of the Libertarian Party" AusLondonder (talk) 00:29, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Given the blocking of one of the contributors to this discussion for battleground behaviour, I certainly endorse approaches which do not characterise the quality of contributions, but rather convey in civil language policy-based discussion/refutation and the consideration of process.

@AusLondonder: Well, I didn't say to keep per them, I said to keep per Goldsztajn, who provided a bunch of sources that seem to constitute significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. I mean, maybe they don't -- I would be receptive to someone providing evidence to say they don't -- but to me this seems like the only relevant issue. jp×g 19:46, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NORG. We now have more than 150 articles on Portland restaurants and bars, but not all of them seem to be really notable. This one fails the WP:AUD (audience) test, as the sources are all local, and most of them not very indepth either (the 15 March 2022 "closing" article is the exception, it is local but is an actual article instead of a short, gushing promo mention like this).

    • Gee, I never thought of that, Google searching? Then I would have found your additions: more articles from the local Willamette Weekly, from the local Eater Portland, and ... that's it, right? Instead of attacking the nominator on such spurious grounds, you can perhaps explain how this meets NORG? Fram (talk) 14:04, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      While you are of course not obliged to put up anything resembling a decent defense of your article, just making empty statements is really not helpful. The addition of soures like this one from the Willamette Week are more padding than anything else, for an article that already reads way too much like an advert instead of an encyclopedic article ("The Fruitcake Delight had barleywine mulled with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and turbinado sugar, and was garnished with rum-soaked raisins and currants. The glühwein had pinot noir from Coopers Hall mulled with cinnamon, anise, and turbinado sugar, and was garnished with clove." and so on). Having the Oregonian as a source could be an improvement, until one actually looks at the article[1]. Basically, you've added many references, but haven't done anything to actually address the reason for this deletion nomination either in the article or here. Fram (talk) 14:50, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      The language you've deemed promotional is similar to the text I've drafted for approximately 40 articles about Portland restaurants I've promoted to GA status. Restaurant articles should have descriptions of the menu and specific items, when coverage allows. You may not think Eater Portland and Willamette Week (a Pulitzer-winning publication, by the way) are sufficient, but these are appropriate for Wikipedia, as are the Portland Mercury, Thrillist, and The Oregonian. There are plenty of other sources to fold into this entry, and I'm not even counting the beer-related sources. I'm less familiar with which beer publications are preferred on Wikipedia, but I've found lots of mentions at various beer sites and the business has won many awards at beer competitions. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:02, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Somehow, I don't think they won their Pulitzer for their restaurant reviews. Anyway, none of this addresses the failure to meet NORG (and no, a very passing mention in the Oregonian doesn't help). I never said that these sources are not appropriate for Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean that they are sufficient to establish notability for this bar / shop. That borderline copyvio "recipes" have been accepted in GAs is perhaps more telling about the GA process than anything else, but changing "Momokawa Sake gets mulled with clove, orange, and honey and is served hot with a jasmine tea bag infusion." to "Momokawa Sake mulled with clove, honey, and orange, served hot with a jasmine tea bag infusion" is not something we should encourage in any way, nor is changing "mulled with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and turbinado sugar, and garnished with rum-soaked raisins and currants." to "mulled with ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and turbinado sugar, and was garnished with rum-soaked raisins and currants" acceptable[2]. Fram (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Quibbles with specific text can be addressed on the article's talk page. This is a notability discussion. I'm still working to expand the article, using various sources. Further improvements are welcome, of course. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:14, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I don't feel a need to comment further here. In my opinion, you did not perform a thorough search before nominating the article for deletion. Per WP:BEFORE, you might consider adding a tag or starting a talk page discussion before jumping straight to AfD. Thanks, ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Your opinion would be worth more if you had anything to support this. You didn't provide a single source to this AfD, and the sources you added to the article are either more of the same, or passing mentions. If you want to accuse me of not doing a "before" search, show us what I missed that such a search would have returned. It is any of the 68 Google hits[3], or is it the articles from Willamette Weekly which you already added to the article[4]? The article as it stands now is still just as much an AfD candidate as the article at the time I nominated it. Fram (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Eater Portland, Willamette Week, Portland Mercury, Thrillist, and The Oregonian are all acceptable sources and have been used dozens of times by the article creator to create GA articles on Portland-area restaurants and bars. If the AfD nominator has a problem with articles using those sources, an AfD is not the venue to raise it. Also, like Another Believer, I am not familiar with beer-related sources, but there are articles from The New School with bylines that seem to be in depth here and here that could be incorporated if the sourcing is deemed appropriate. --Kbabej (talk) 15:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which article from the Oregonian has more than a passing mention? Being a GA is not a badge of immunity, we have even had FAs which have been deleted at AfD, as these look at completely different things. You don't explain how these local sources are acceptable (as the only sources) per WP:NORG. Thank you for providing these NewBeer sources, but a Portland-based webmagazine, with articles from authors living in Portland, may not be the best source either, as it has the same issues but from lesser-known sources. Fram (talk) 15:50, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      The New School sources I listed cover Oregon and Washington, which is easily found on their about page. I haven't done a thorough assessment of the source, but even if the source is Portland-based with authors from Portland, that wouldn't really matter. You realize the Portland Metro area has 2.5 million people, right? Being "Portland-based" is very different than being a local paper like the The Yachats Gazette from Yachats (population ~690). Kbabej (talk) 15:58, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      Yes, it is unlikely that we would have articles on 150 restaurants from Yachats... City papers / blogs / ... writing about city restaurants (pubs, shops, ...) is a natural thing, but it has been agreed by consensus that unless other (non-local) sources have given significant attention to those companies, we shouldn't have articles on them. That Portland has both a thriving culinary and a thriving journalistic culture is hardly a reason to make an exception to this. Fram (talk) 16:03, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I think you might be confusing what "local" means. Portland is a metropolitan area and the state's largest population and urban center; it's not some village or an sleepy town on the coast. As for your "agreed by consensus" point, I have yet to see a policy/guideline that states sources must be outside the area they are covering. Are you referencing WP:LOCALINT? If so, that is a failed proposal, and WP:LOCAL is only an essay.
      As a friendly reminder, it is also not required (or even expected) that you reply to every point made on this AfD (see WP:BLUDGEON - again, just an essay). --Kbabej (talk) 16:13, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      On the other hand, an AfD is meant to be a discussion, and no one is forced to reply to me either (although of course you are welcome to). And no, I understand perfectly well what "local" means, and there is no cutoff point which means that a restaurant written about in the newspaper of a 50,000-pop city is not notable, but a restaurant in a larger city is notable if written about by the city newspaper(s).

      @Fram Thoughts on American Craft Beer? ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:54, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I strongly agree much of what Kbabej has said. I believe that WP:LOCAL does not apply here; the article easily meets all three criteria listed at the bottom (sufficiently long, contain appropriate information, and reasonably well-referenced). Further, many of the sources listed are regional, making WP:AUD inapplicable. Fram, if you can provide a link to the consensus you mentioned above that even more sources are needed, that might make me reconsider, but currently I do not think the policies mentioned are being applied correctly. Finally, just because some of the sources are technically lists doesn't make them any less significant, because they generally are accompanied with a solid chunk of text about the subject (e.g. [5]). Toadspike (talk) 16:24, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:LOCAL is an essay, I gave links to actual guidelines (which is the consensus). I'm not clear which of the sources you consider "regional": in any cases, I don't claim that more sources are needed per se, but "better" ones (for the sake of notability), sources showing that this shop/pub has received attention beyond the Portland incrowd. Your final point doesn't seem to address anything I said, some of the sources have more text (although this kind of gushy prose is hardly a source we should use in any case, not very journalistic). Fram (talk) 16:36, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      At risk of sounding immature, I know LOCAL is an essay, but the preceding discussion mentioned the word, so I thought I should touch on it. My final point does indeed not address anything you said, that was more a note for myself and in case anyone raised those concerns in future, and I understand your argument that it’s not the best source material regardless.
      Other than that, I will repeat my response to Reywas92 here as well: We have a different understanding of what’s “local” and what’s “regional”. In your opinion, the “Portland in-crowd” is local; in my opinion it’s regional. The consensus you are directing me to (AUD) only has a wikilink to an unsourced and sparse section of Newspaper to define “regional”, which leaves this all very ambiguous. I think we need a way to find broader community consensus for this definition, rather than having the five of us continue bashing it out when we clearly disagree on what the policy says. Toadspike (talk) 02:29, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    A Portland-based news source covering a Portland restaurant is in fact local and these do not go beyond WP:AUD. Although the Portland metro could be considered a "region", that does not excuse that these reviews and routine bits on local businesses are written for people who live in the vicinity. The New York Times' reviews of New York City restaurants would likewise be considered local even though it's a national news source. Reywas92Talk 18:24, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, they may be written for people who live in the vicinity, but there are a lot of people who live in the vicinity, hence my opinion (reflected by Kbabej above) that the newspapers used are regional sources. I think we have a different understanding of the distinction between “local” and “regional”. This might require raising to RfC or some other avenue for generating consensus, because as it stands WP:AUD is not clear at all. Toadspike (talk) 02:21, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • (disclosure : I came here because I have watchlisted Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Beer) Merge with Portland, Oregon#Cuisine and breweries. While I can find a number of news sources, they all seem to be local news sources, and I'd really want to see significant coverage in at least national sources before thinking it would be appropriate to write a spin-off article, as opposed to a short paragraph in the main one. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:44, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Strong oppose to merge as proposed. Doing so would give way too much weight to one business over the many, many similar businesses in the city. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:48, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It depends how much information is contained in non-local sources. If there is none, then maybe a name-check is all that could be merged. As a counter-example, consider Bluewater (shopping centre), which states "The centre employs 7,000 people and serves over 27 million visitors a year" (in context, 27 million is about 40% of the entire UK population) which is a clear and verifiable claim of regional, if not national importance. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:57, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also oppose this merge; if deleted, this article should be redirected or deleted, not merged, per Another Believer. Even a passing mention at Portland, Oregon#Cuisine and breweries would be out of place, looking at the amount of restaurants in Portland: {{Restaurants in Portland, Oregon}} — Mcguy15 (talk, contribs) 02:07, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delle, Utah[edit]

Delle, Utah (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)

This one may end up being a substantial discussion, as there are a lot of source problems here. To begin with, the only substantial source for the history section (ignoring the long irrelevant section on the roads) is Van Cott's Utah Place Names. The 12-mile-away water source can actually be cited, but is not. The other cited fact isn't true, and it may actually prove a problem for a large number of Utah articles, and possibly those in other areas as well. The population figure is cited to the 1950 census, but no page number is given, and when I looked at the actual entry, the number 174 does indeed appear, but a map shows that "Delle" actually represents a huge area, not a small town. That appears to be the case for many if not most entries that aren't for incorporated places, and since the Utah articles frequently have population figures, I have to wonder how many of these are representative of the town they write about. I also must note that Van Cott's etymology appears to be nonsense, as "dalle" actually means something like "stepping stone".

All the business in the middle is uncited and questionable. The motel and gas stations are undeniable and well-documented; the railway camp less so. The topos don't go back very far, but the 1977 map I found has an interesting detail: there is a second spot labelled "Delle", right on the rails about a mile NW of the motel ruins. The topo also shows a siding there. After that things get iffy. Far and away the most references are for precipitation (mainly remarking on the months or years since any was recorded), as a locating point for things "near Delle", and a bunch of rail-related hits. There are some book and web references that large echo the article, but they are all relatively recent, and it's not clear that any of them are independent of either our article or of Van Cott. I can't find any old sources other than a Blue Book in which it is just a name. So I'm quite dubious that this was ever a town. Mangoe (talk) 03:42, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I sense a challenge. ☺

    It's a right old mess because it's the product of 5 editors. Editor 1 is Moabdave who knew only that it was a service station. Editor 2 is 63.226.66.4 who knew that it was a railroad stop but just blammed in more content beside the original instead of fixing the original. In between them is Ntsimp who added Van Cott and the other bits with actual sources connected to them, and is also responsible for the "unincorporated community" cop-out even though the previous two editors at least were specific about what the thing is/was. The 4th editor, who again didn't consolidate the existing contradictory narratives but wanted to write about a spite road (the same one as at Utah State Route 196#History) was An Errant Knight.

    Van Cott is explicit that this was a "maintenance camp" for the Western Pacific and is now "a gas station, cafe, and siding only". There's no support for "enclave", "village", "town", or "unincorporated community" coming from the source actually used. Van Cott is quite clear on what this was and is.

    There's not much in Van Cott, so I'd like to see two sources. Following the usual methodology doesn't get much, however. There's no Arcadia book covering this. It's the wrong side of the mountains to be part of the West Desert Hazardous Industries Area and the Hazardous Waste Corridor for which there is some documentation. And it's just ignored by the Tooele County General Plan. The only other even partway reasonable source just confirms Van Cott that Delle "consisted solely of an old, small cafe, motel and service station" and "There is no permanent housing located at Delle", and doesn't provide anything else. By adding in the spite road that's really in Skull Valley and the unverifiable businessman tale (from editor #5), the article is actually larger than what I can find to verifiably say about the place.

    • This editor seems fairly confused by the nomination for deletion. It seems that the nomination is primarily due to less than ideal supporting citations regarding certain aspects of the former community and its history. However, the underlying dispute appears to be centered around whether Delle was an unincorporated community (a place where humans lived) or just a locale (a place with somewhat significant human activity, but without anyone residing there). The later issue should not be a debate as the United State Geological Survey (USGS) determined long ago that Delle was a populated place (not just a locale). The USGS apparently based its determination on the place's classification by the United States Census Bureau (which at some point classified it as a place where people lived). Referring back to the original debate, an unincorporated community is a populated place that is not currently a village, town, city, etc. It does not look like there is any evidence that Delle ever achieved incorporation as a town or city, so it would clearly have been Ann unincorporated community. Therefore it remains, as previously stated, that the dispute (if there really is one) is not based upon the past or present significance of Delle (even though it may be somewhat minor), but the lack of clearly supporting references. With that in mind, there are many, many articles regarding former and current communities that have less significance and much less in the way of supporting documentation. Accordingly, deletion would not be appropriate. An Errant Knight (talk) 15:15, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, that's not how GNIS phase 1 worked. Everything was "populated place" because there was no other designation, and "unincorporated community" is just the Wikipedia information-free cop-out conversion of that. No-one has actually made a determination. The person doing the phase 1 gazetteer saw a minimum of 1 building, and "populated place" it was.

        The GNIS Names files do not differentiate between various types of populated places. A subdivision having one inhabitant is as significant as a major metropolitan centre such as New York City.

        — Heard, Andrew M. (August 1986). Automatic correlation of USGS digital line graph geographic features to GNIS names data. United States Army Corps of Engineers. AD-A192-787.
        And rather than lack of clearly supporting references, the one source that explicitly says what the subject is was ignored by the editor who added it in favour of the information-free cop-out. Editors 1 and 2 at least agreed with Van Cott. Editor 3 used but ignored Van Cott. Editor 4 just ignored Van Cott and wrote about something that's in Skull Valley, not at or in the "maintenance camp" or the "gas station, cafe, and siding".

  • Weak keep I'm not having much luck with Italian sources, but I do believe she meets WP:NAUTHOR based on having published a number of books with reliable publishing houses. I see few published articles, however, and I'm not being successful at finding an independent biography. Probably because her writing is post-modern she doesn't turn up in general sources like popular newspapers. I did look at the links in the Italian article that aren't in the English one and didn't find anything helpful. I note, also, that most Italian newspapers are strictly behind paywalls - I had a hint of some articles about exhibits in Il Manifesto but couldn't access them.

Fails WP:GNG. He had 1 carry in the NFL for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1995, in which he rushed for a single yard. His college career does not appear to be notable either, having finished with a total of 987 scrimmage yards after 4 years. He does appear to own a gym now, but that's all I'm finding in terms of notability for him, and even that's a stretch. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:17, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, American football, and Illinois. Shellwood (talk) 17:22, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, (1), this person played in the National Football League (recently, too! this isn't some one-gamer from 1920), the highest level of the sport there ever was, and meets NGRIDIRON. And (2) Burns easily meets GNG, for just a very brief search on Newspapers.com brings up SIGCOV such as [10] [11] [12] [13]. And if that's not enough, then consider me voting on IAR grounds, as I think deleting NFL player articles do not at all improve the encyclopedia. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess I'm just of the opinion that 1 carry in the NFL shouldn't be enough to be considered notable. Perfectly fine if others don't agree with me but I appreciate your responses to my two nominations. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:42, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think it's foolproof for "meaningful" notability, even in the present day. Though that's a subjective notion in itself. But it's pretty much a given for recent decades that if someone plays any detectable role in an NFL game, they'll get newspaper coverage, and even moreso more recently, web coverage in the "back pages" segments of reliable-source outlets. Will future generations thank us for collating this information as encyclopedic? I'm doubtful of that, but those are the standards we've set, so we should at least try to apply them consistently. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:18, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep appears to pass muster. It's not just "one play" because he also played in college to get that one play in the NFL. Sure, it's a stub, but we should be careful--see Wikipedia:Do not confuse stub status with non-notability--Paul McDonald (talk) 20:03, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article lacks independent reliable sources as all of the citations are research publications where van Akkooi is a co-author and a listing of a medical conference speaker bio. The article appears to fail all 8 criteria at WP:NACADEMIC although his being head of surgery at the Melanoma Institute might marginally meet item #5, the equivalent of having a named adademic department chair. I ran a search "Alexander van Akkooi" +melanoma and +sarcoma but there was no return with any independent sources covering him. In summary, this is a respected physician/researcher but I'm not seeing where he meets WP:ANYBIO with independent reliable sources. Blue Riband► 15:03, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's pretty much my own understanding of requirement #5 for NACADEMIC. From what I've read thus far van Akkooi appears to be respected among his colleagues but he lacks independent coverage. (I've authored and co-authored peer-reviewed scientific publications in enough quantity to write an autobiography.;-) But there's no independent coverage about me either!)Blue Riband► 00:13, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. First-author citations on Google Scholar appear to be 306 ("Clinical relevance of melanoma micrometastases"), 283 ("Sentinel node tumor burden"), 126 ("Morbidity and prognosis after therapeutic lymph node dissections"), 113 ("High positive sentinel node identification rate"), 67 ("Expert opinion in melanoma: the sentinel node"). This is a high-citation-count topic, but I think there's enough to make at least a borderline case for WP:PROF#C1. On the other hand, I think the G5 case is clear enough that unless someone else wants to adopt the article and continue to guard it against promotional editing (I don't) we're better off without this one. As for the speculation re endowed chairs: WP:PROF#C5 is clear that if he had one he would be notable, but he doesn't. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep I searched google news and google books. I found one article about his radio work and a book that has more than a passing mention. I added them. I also discovered that he co-wrote a book and added that in. All that said, none of those edits get him to WP:GNG, however I think he does meet WP:ANYBIO on the basis of criteria 1 that he won a significant award or honor. Now that hinges on others agreement that the Scottish Sports Writer of the year award 1999 is a "significant award". I consider that up for debate, but I lean towards it being enough, especially in combination with a couple of newspapers articles about his radio work and the book that has more than a passing mention.

This page has been proposed for deletion due to failing WP:N.

1.) A vast majority of the media articles are based two acts 1 - he joined the Ukrainian armed forces in their fight against Russia and 2 - debunking their supposed death. Thus, I believe this violates WP:NBASIC

2.) This person does not appear to be a part of the enduring historical record per Wikipedia requirements, nor are there any well-known or significant awards known which both violate WP:ANYBIO

  • Redirect to International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine#Canada, where the individual is sufficiently covered. All of his coverage is within the context of one event—his participation in the Russo-Ukrainian war. The viral fake news story itself would fail WP:NEVENT, since viral phenomena... are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance. It's not strictly a WP:BLP1E, but he's probably best covered in the context of the international legion a-la-WP:PAGEDECIDE. There is little known about the individual except that he's in the legion and didn't die, so he's best covered in the context on the page on the Legion. Since he's already sufficiently covered there, I see no need for an independent page. — Mhawk10 (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak redirect to International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine#Canada. While I agree with Mhawk10 in that there's a certain je ne sais quoi which leads me towards the same conclusion, calling the Russo-Ukranian War a "single event" seems to be stretching the definition and would lead to counter-intuitive (at least to me) results if applied to various other military figures in the extreme ("World War 2 is a single event" as a reductio ad absurdum). Similarly, while WP:NEVENT would be clearly relevant for an article entitled "Death of Wali" or something along those lines, I'm not aware of policy language stating that the events in the context of WP:BLP1E should be notable in isolation. All that said, I think this falls into the vaguely defined category of pages that fit WP:NOPAGE, and it's better to discuss the topic in the context of a larger page. Perhaps some day we'll have proper biographies etc. that would give material for a larger article, but I don't think that day is now. The !vote is weak because I'm not able to point out an applicable bright-line rule. -Ljleppan (talk) 07:33, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To clarify, my point in bringing up WP:NEVENT was to rule out an alternative in which we eventify the article. The guideline is not directly applicable to a BLP. — Mhawk10 (talk) 14:39, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine#Canada seems to be a reasonable action based on the above reasonings. The lack of information outside of this event, and honestly including this event, does not seem to meet the level of need to have an entire page devoted to the individual, when a redirect would suffice.

  • Delete/merge The sources used by the article indeed appear to be hobbyist WP:SPS. The Kleuser page even states "Information from Wikipedia is not always listed explicitly" in a footer, which is problematic in more than one way. My brief perusal of Google Books found only the following: 1) A mention in a 1947 USAF text entitled "Glossary of German aeronautical codes, models, project numbers, abbreviations, etc" with the totality of the entry reading "Aircraft type number for a bomber powered by four engines". 2) Hankey: Man of Secrets by Stephen Roskill appears to contain one instance of "Do 235" according to Google Books, but the preview only shows the bottom half of that line and I think this might be an OCR error actually reading "238". 3) British Intelligence in the Second World War by Francis Hinsley et al. has a brief mention of "The report described a new light bomber with a speed of 450-500 mph, a 1,800 lb bomb-load and high fuel consumption, calling it the Do 235. That this was a precursor of the new aircraft emerged when, on 22 February the Enigma decrypt..." with the preview cutting off soon thereafter. The index then contains the text "Do 235 see Do 335", but I'm not sure what a twin-engined (push-pull) heavy fighter has to do with a four-engine bomber. Based on the - admittedly limited - visibility I have to these sources, they appear to be rather far from the WP:SIGCOV needed. As an alternative to deletion, we could also merge to List of German aircraft projects, 1939–1945 (or some other suitable page), but this assumes that we can source the entry to WP:RS. The two sources currently in the article don't cut it, but the Hinsley book might be suitable, assuming the full text elucidates whether this aircraft was just a proposal/thought experiment, a bunch of plans on paper, or something more concrete. I seem to have access to Hinsley's book through work, but won't be able to check it out in the next few days. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:52, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that we should merge to List of German aircraft projects, 1939–1945 since it was never really used in Germany's military and as you mentioned had little reference in the books, but still was an aircraft that had some basic information on it in the sources you checked.

As an academic he was mentioned very briefly in an article about the history of his university (already cited in this WP article), and his influence on students was mentioned in an obituary, and even the obituary talks much more about the students:[15].

  • Delete No scholars have been allowed near it and the only source is the guy trying to get rich selling it. It doesn't meet notability guidelines just because of dramatic but self-interested claims which no objective source has been allowed to test. There are a lot of sensational archaeological claims that make it into normally reliable publications and in the vast majority of cases it later becomes clear they have no business on Wikipedia. GordonGlottal (talk) 17:15, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment There is at least evidence of sustained interest in this statue, e.g., a documentary that received some high-profile reviews [16][17] and fairly in-depth coverage in an academic journal article [18]. The tone of these writings is that the statue's origin remains unknown, and the hopes people have for it may tell us more about them than the statue (the academic paper compares the documentary to Citizen Kane and Rashomon in that respect). I hesitate to say what all this means for whether we should have an article and what we should say in it if we do, but I do think it indicates the situation is not quite analogous to that of the Mount Ebal curse tablet. XOR'easter (talk) 18:19, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A film does not confirm that the statue is not a hoax but an actual archeological piece; only an archeologist can confirms it is. The academic paper you are talking about, the title is 'Film and cinema study in review'; how is a film study pertinent to consider that the statue is actually an archeological piece; and the author is not archeologist but "an experimental documentary filmmaker and Assistant Professor of Film Theory at George Mason University". She has no qualification to confirm if the statue is of any value or a hoax. Patrick.N.L (talk) 04:49, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hoaxes can be notable too. The question is whether the statue is notable, not whether it's been proved authentic. Even if it's exposed as a hoax, it's had a lot of publicity in archaeological and general circles—and people might be expected to search for information about it. Readers who look on Wikipedia will find out whether it's confirmed as authentic, proven to be a fake, or if the jury's still out (which, apparently, it still is at this juncture). P Aculeius (talk) 11:48, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. See the list of hoaxes for examples. XOR'easter (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hoaxes certainly can be notable but this one isn't. For one thing, there's no scholarly import whatsoever. If it's real -- this guy gets rich. If it's fake -- he doesn't. That's all that rests on the issue, so far as we know, because we know nothing about it. He also didn't convince anybody. The claim that there's sustained interest is not true. It was a viral story (of, again, no academic interest) in 2014, then the subject of a Arabic-language 2018 documentary, which was itself mentioned in one journal article. Normal people who only see these occasionally don't understand this, but equivalent listings/claims/stories happen EVERY WEEK. An object doesn't deserve a page just because someone listed it on Ebay with a sensational description that no one ever in any way substantiated and no one except the lister ever claimed was accurate. Lots of genuinely famous hoaxes don't have pages (Moabitica for example) which is good. Few of them should and definitely no non-famous ones. GordonGlottal (talk) 04:03, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Matterhorn. Consensus is to do a "selective merge" of the most relevant, referenced content. RL0919 (talk) 18:53, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Located in the Category:Places in popular culture, this is really just a Matterhorn in popular culture article, although I'll admit - the name is more fitting (honest) than many others that we have recently been cleaning, as they are all just that, lists of mentions. Like others, however, it fails WP:LISTN, WP:GNG and Wikipedia:IPC, and sports a lot of unreferenced mentions. I doubt there is much we can salvage from this (the Matterhorn article doesn't even have a 'in popular culture' section', and this article is just an off hand see also). I am afraid it needs to go as a TV trope like indiscrimate list that's outside the scope of Wikipedia. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:04, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (as contributor). There is enough published material about this topic (cultural references to the Matterhorn, and not just the Matterhorn), including books (such as The Printed Matterhorn), so it complies with WP:LISTN and WP:GNG (not sure about Wikipedia:IPC but it is not a guideline so there is no point in discussing it here). Zach (Talk) 11:28, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The Printed Matterhorn is not even used as a reference. There is a slight chance this could be totally rewritten into a prose-based analysis using this work as a prose article Matterhorn in popular culture , IF this book is relevant, but in this case, WP:TNT treatment applies to the current list. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:07, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    No doubt that the current article/list is far from good. However, you cited WP:TNT (which is an essay, not a guideline), so may I cite another one: WP:Overzealous deletion? I think it would be a fair thing to do. Zach (Talk) 19:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge to Matterhorn. The article is in the usual listcruft trivia format and fails WP:GNG, but some of the content (not the logos, the "Matterhorn of X" stuff, etc.) would fit, converted into prose, into a section about cultural significance in the article about the mountain. Sandstein 10:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge to Matterhorn per Sandstein; some of the info seems salvageable, but this topic does not merit a separate article due to failing WP:INDISCRIMINATE. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:48, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge to Matterhorn - and by "selective" I mean the coins and paintings for an "In culture" section, and the list of mountains actually named after the Matterhorn (NOT the nicknames) as a separate section. The filmography is already there. The rest is rather crufty. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:27, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article was written several years ago and is on a questionable game that merely won a single obscure award (multiple other insignificant games, such as Otrio, won this award, so if this is included on WP so should those other games, also, while Alexa is unreliable, it lists the website's traffic count in around 10,000,000th, which is very low). It does not seem that it has multiple reliable, independent sources, with no reviews or magazine articles. The only other source I could find apart from this single ref is BGG (an unreliable user-generated blog) which had just 91 ratings for this game. From my perspective, this article might not satisfy notability. This is only my second AfD, so thanks for your time and help. Cheers. VickKiang (talk) 01:20, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your replies, the source is certainly helpful. I am tentative of its reliability, as, on its about page, it suggests it is based on a book (which I can not seem to find on Google) and another obscure website. It states that it has an editorial chief who seems credible, but also assistants that need to write Finnish well, have a responsible and prompt attitude, as well as include visuals, but have no noted expertise, and am unsure if the editor-in-chief has to review each publication. It also links to the unreliable BGG. So should additional consideration apply for the reliability of this? Furthermore, I am unsure if the previous award is an RS, it seems rarely mentioned.

  • Comment, I don't think I can vote given I created this and am thus conflicted so I will only comment. There is definitely merit in what Loew Galitz says and this debate has ongoing for a while. It's an interesting one. I saw the news of the billion dollar valuation and that prompted me to create it. This created a lot of coverage about the financing, not so much about the company itself. While articles such as

https://venturebeat.com/2022/03/17/cybersecurity-has-53-unicorns-here-are-10-to-watch/ may not give it notability there are already pieces about its impending IPO https://www.reuters.com/technology/cybersecurity-startup-snyk-taps-morgan-stanley-goldman-ipo-sources-2022-03-07/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-23/cybersecurity-startup-snyk-is-said-to-plan-2022-ipo

https://venturebeat.com/2022/02/17/snyk-cofounder-on-ipo-plans-well-pick-our-time-wisely/ Again, articles about the financing, not so much about the company itself.

  • Keep - beyond the additional links above I found: "Exclusive Events launches Miss Ghana 2022 pageant" [23]; "I've never made profit from Miss Ghana pageant - Inna Patty." Daily Mail GH, 13 Feb. 2020, [24]; 'Beauties Without Brains Consider Themselves As Sex Objects' -- Miss Ghana organiser Jabs." Herald [Accra, Ghana], 3 Aug. 2018. [25]; and "Miss Ghana 2019 finally lands in UK after ticket swerve." Ghanaian Chronicle [Accra, Ghana], 28 Nov. 2019, [26] as additional coverage. Beyond winning Miss Ghana, being CEO of the company that now operates Miss Ghana both seem to go far enough to meet NBASIC. Skynxnex (talk) 16:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The subject in question is notable and based on references provided above by Geezygee and Skynxnex it certainly satisfies WP:NBASIC. The articles needs to be looked at and improved to cover aspects not well captured in the article with good referencing in place. Ampimd (talk) 08:42, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - A simple google search shows she is a notable person.. She perfectly fits the notability/celebrity criterion. Applehead1000 (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A good charity, but no real indication of notability. QueenofBithynia (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - A Google News search indicates that it's been covered in the news, but all of those are passing mentions. The article fails WP:NOTPROMOTION in the sense of both how the article is written and lack of assertion for future improvement beyond just sounding like promotional material. There are no sources that actually go in depth about the charity itself, except for the official website, which is a primary source anyway and violates Wikipedia's standards of verifiability and inclusion.—Mythdon (talkcontribs) 12:34, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Coverage mainly limited to one line mentions. Fails WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 01:58, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
