  • Delete the obvious caveat here is there may be coverage in Iraqi RS that aren't available or searchable for me, but nothing in English sources suggests they are a notable organization, and Iraqi militant groups are somewhat of a focus on English sources so it's not like they would totally escape western radar.

Delete No significant secondary independent coverage. All I found were based on press releases. Company website is dead https://chakshu.com/ . — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This possibly could redirect to Acetylcarnosine, as that appears to be the mysterious active ingredient, but I doubt anyone will be searching for C-KAD, and that redirect would be based upon some speculation as to what C-KAD really was. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One sentence in DANFS, one sentence here, and two words in Silverstone's Warships of the Civil War Navies. There is nothing that can be said about this vessel, as so little is known about it.

No indication of wp:notability under either GNG or SNG. Has been tagged for that for about a month with no further development regarding that . North8000 (talk) 21:08, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I'm finding a ton in Korean. None of them are particularly in depth, but he seems to be mentioned frequently in Korean sports pages. There articles talking about him being removed from the first team[1], an article about him "doing a good job" according to his manager[2], an article talking about his 12.0 ERA[3], and another one mentioning his struggles at a 6.15 ERA[4]. None of these are super convincing, but there's so many hits for him related to baseball in Korean I feel there should be enough to pass WP:GNG. TartarTorte 23:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable college bowl. "Sources" were added with deprod, but they consisted of a couple local college newspapers and a fan wiki. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The United Negro College Fund website is not a college newspaper. Neither are the American Honda website references. I am confused as to how a 33-year old HBCU quiz competition that has awarded millions in grants to students like me has become the target of a deletion request. Are we asserting that only a certain set of quiz competitions merits inclusion on wikipedia? The program has been on television. It has been referenced by other television programs. And it has been an important part of the academic development of thousands of students who have enjoyed playing. What is the real issue here? Your misrepresentation of the added references is concerning. I hope that there is no underlying intent in this targeted deletion of an HBCU program. 1911nupe (talk) 19:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Honda source is considered primary since it's from the creator of the show itself. Not every TV show is notable. Please read WP:GNG. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:32, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@1911nupe: Also, another wiki is not a reliable source. Anyone can edit a Fandom wiki and use it to spread misinformation. Finally, we don't do "trivia" sections in articles. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:43, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A Different World was a top-rated television series on NBC that aired for six seasons... according to its own, well-documented wiki. If the issue is with nomenclature of the section head, then say that. But deleting the reference appears to be a targeted response to diminish HCASC. For what's it's worth, I and ever other HCASC player at the time loved this episode precisely because it celebrated the program on network tv. I'll add the reference to a different section. I really don't understand your issue here. 1911nupe (talk) 19:48, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is that you can't use a Fandom wiki as a source, because those are edited by fans and are not the kind of well-vetted reliable sources to verify info. It'd be like citing a YouTube comment, a Facebook post, or the comments I left on your talk page. I really don't appreciate the way you're condescending to me either, mansplaining A Different World (when I didn't act as if I didn't know what it was) and assuming that my nomination was racially motivated. Please don't attack other editors. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:53, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You said that not every show is notable. That seems like a pretty subjective measure, no? Only a handful of shows make it to syndication numbers of episodes. So programs that do are notable by that measure alone. Would imdb references to the episode meet wiki standards? I didn't make any assumptions about your deletion intent. I asked a question and asserted my hope that there was NO underlying intent in the deletion request of a page that has existed for several years with no drama. 1911nupe (talk) 20:03, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
IMDb is also user submitted, and therefore not reliable. Please read the general notability guideline and the reliable source guideline. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiVirusC: All four of those are paywalled and I can't see what they say. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 19:45, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, only News and Record is paywalled. USA Today is Free... as are Forbes, and Black Enterprise. 1911nupe (talk) 19:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They exist, and only one of them was paywalled for me, alternate link for that one, this is one I used instead for citation. I don't know why they were for you, sure its paywall and not just adblock warning. Either way sources exist. WikiVirusC(talk) 19:52, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly notable based on initial scan of sources that are cited now. In addition, preliminary Newspapers.com search yields 454 articles on "Honda All-Star Challenge", while "Honda Campus All-Star Challenge" yields a further 300 matches. (Other search term variations may yield even more.) Even if some of these are just passing mentions, it suggests there are far more sources out there that could be mined as references. Highly recommend that WikiVirusC applies for access through Wikimedia Library, also given your other interests. It will give you the ability to "clip" and share the most relevant article links, so that we don't keep running into this paywall problem, although to be fair not every newspaper is covered, and you still need to do it the hard way for certain articles as well. Cielquiparle (talk) 12:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for suggestion, I actually got my access renewed few days ago, but was after this vote. Either way I don't tend to clip unless needed, such as when sources aren't available online. Those ones above were available and weren't even paywalled, except for the 1 which I just found posted on another paper's site. WikiVirusC(talk) 14:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Sources used (or added) does advance notability. -- Otr500 (talk) 14:03, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comments: Concerning sourcing; "They exist" (as in "out there somewhere in the universe") becomes moot whenever verifiability is challenged and goes farther with "or likely to be challenged". -- Otr500 (talk) 14:03, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if that was directed at me or not, but I literally linked 4 different sources and a mirror. I proved sources existed by linking 4 different ones here on this page. His argument was they are paywalled(which they aren't at least not for US viewers), so he dismissed them cause he couldn't see what they said. They aren't somewhere out in the universe they are right there where I linked them. WikiVirusC(talk) 14:15, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Think it was directed at me, and I get it – the mere existence of sources "out there" isn't a sufficient reason, but neither is "I can't access your sources". Appreciate the selective clipping approach as well (I do wonder what happens to clippings at some point down the line), other ways at least allow for Internet archiving, etc. (Anyway still voting "keep" based on sources cited to date, the rest of the comment was just an observation.)

  • Redirect to United States sanctions against Iran#Effects and criticism: While the topic if you were to put it in a more WP:NPOV light is potentially notable, the article is a bit of a mess right now; furthermore, if this article were to be developed as a full article it should be at Effects of United States sanctions against Iran. There likely is enough to write that article, but for now a redirect seems like the best way of going about this. TartarTorte 18:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • only fleeting mentions in articles about the network The third source I linked on the talk page (the LA Times article) has about 7 paragraphs dedicated specifically to "Shopping Spree", which I would say is more than a fleeting mention. (The other two linked sources are just brief mentions.) Colin M (talk) 21:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to draft unless substantially improved by the close of this discussion. I would also doubt that this show is the primary topic of the phrase "Shopping Spree", given the common meaning and the existence of redirects to other things called that name at the same capitalization. BD2412 T 05:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it's more that no other work has the exact name "shopping spree" (the other two entries on the dab page are redirects), and the concept of a "shopping spree" itself would just be a WP:DICDEF. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:21, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That the other entries on the dab page are redirects is permissible. I think this could also end up as a redirect, since this content could be merged or (as you suggested in the nom) redirected to a redirect to History of Freeform (TV channel). The concept of a "shopping spree" could be covered as a subtopic in Shopping, as it is a behavior distinct from normal shopping. BD2412 T 18:05, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      The book provides 190 words of coverage about the subject. The book notes: "Shopping Spree. (Series; Game; Family Channel; 1996). Two teams, each composed of a male and a female, compete. Prior to the game each team member secretly chooses items they believe their mates will like. On stage six “stores” for each team are revealed that contain a number of prizes (including the items each has selected). In round one, the male must pick the prizes he believes his mate selected for him. If he is correct on the first try, the prize is won and they move onto the next store (the object being to guess all six in as little time as possible); an incorrect guess allows the player to take a second guess, but it also adds time to their total. Once the team has “shopped” all six stores, the opposing team plays in the same manner. Round two reverses round one (females having to determine what the males selected). The team with the lowest overall time is the winner and play the bonus round where, within 75 seconds, they have to identify which celebrities are associated with the items that are seen. Host: Ron Pearson. Announcer: Burton Richardson."

      The article provides 316 words of coverage about the subject. The article notes: "So what is the “positive value” in shopping? (The family that shops together . . . declares bankruptcy together?)  At least there’s an altruistic bent here: contestants shop for each other instead of themselves. ... The funniest part of the show never appears on television. One gimmick of the show is that each will feature a different “product model,” chosen from the studio audience, who on the show will always be referred to as Denise (or Dennis) DuJour. Between lame warmup jokes and half-hearted Macarenas, executive producer Jay Wolpert runs the audition."

        The article notes: "The two that the Family Channel has found success with involve shopping, the idea being to appeal to homemakers who shop and, evidently, enjoy watching others do the same. In "Shopping Spree," a shopper picks out an item from each of six stores. A teammate must then divine from clues, body language, interests and shopping tendencies what his or her shopping partner has just purchased."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Shopping Spree to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Keep. The article should be cut down to what's verifiable in RS, and after that we might be left with a rather short permastub, but I contend that it would still be a useful permastub. The fact that this page is linked to from a dozen mainspace articles (not counting links from transcluded navboxes), suggests that it occupies a useful place in Wikipedia's web of knowledge. What if a reader of our article Service Merchandise reads the mention of "Shopping Spree" in that article and wishes to know more about the show? When did it air? On what channel? Who was the host? How did the show work? This can all be verifiably answered, but not if this article is deleted. And it's certainly not reasonable to copy all the verifiable information about the show into each of the dozen articles that mention it.

I initially PRODed this with the following rationale: "Non-notable individual who does not pass the WP:GNG. The only claim to notability in the article is his relation to his more notable father and brother, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Searching for sources turns up nothing but minor mentions, and no significant coverage."

As the template message specified, many of the sources do not "appear to be independent of the singer", as they include interview clips. The usage of the blog and Facebook page as primary sources, in addition to the fact that the page was created by the singer herself, makes me question reliability. My final argument is that she only has 780 monthly listeners on Spotify, and her top song has only 17,000 listens.

Fails WP:LISTN, no evidence that this is a notable subject as a group.

  • Delete the article has no sources. Wikipedia really needs to cut back of philatelycruft.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:57, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Fixable problems are never a good reason for deletion. If lists of people on stamps are intrinsically non-notable, editors should try making that case for the entire category, not pick one off here and there. In practice, questions about people on stamps are probably the most-asked that any philatelist gets from the general public, so we always thought it was an obvious list to include; but I'm game to review it against the current notability criteria and kill the whole category if it doesn't measure up. (I note that a term like "philatelycruft" is pushing the civility boundaries, let's not go that way.) Stan (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why do you keep making the same incorrect arguments on all of these AfDs? You haven't shown that the main issue ((fails WP:LISTN etcetera) is fixable, soyour "keep" for this specific list doesn't address the deletion reason. And no one has claimed that "lists of people on stamps are intrinsically non-notable", so that strawman argument is getting old very quickly. This list is not notable, for other countries the situation may be completely different, so grouping them together is a bad idea. Please, in future such AfDs, refrain from making this same argument, it doesn't help at all. Fram (talk) 07:11, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      I'm sorry that you find my arguments "incorrect", but I did phrase them carefully, after re-reviewing the deletion guidelines. For the specific problems with the article as it stands, I can fix everything in about an hour; however as the notability guidelines state, a subject that is intrinsically non-notable can never be fixed by writing more. So before diving into editing, I want to get a sense of whether I'd be wasting my time, simple as that. Stan (talk) 13:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      The "specific" problem with this article is that the subject, "people on postage stamps of Haiti", is not a notable group subject. It is verifiable (e.g. from stalmp catalogues, or from announcements of individual stamps), but it isn't notable. All the other problems, seen on too many of these articles, show the total lack of care that went into creating them, and the total lack of care people had in the many intervening years to do soemthing about them. But those other problems are not important if you can't show that "this" specific article is about a notable subject. So I don't understand why you voted "keep" when you don't even address the main issue with the article, the issue which I started this AfD nomination with. Fram (talk) 13:39, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      So if I understand you right, you are saying this list is intrinsically not notable, but that people-on-stamps lists for other countries might be notable. I don't see how that is NPOV - all governments around the world put approximately the same amount of effort into deciding stamp subjects, and the honoring of individuals is an especially fraught business - Jack Childs' Miniature Messages goes into some depth on the politics involved in various Latin American countries, for instance. So how does one decide which countries are listworthy? Are you going to document the criteria in a notice at the top of Lists of people on postage stamps? Stan (talk) 17:38, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      No. It is of no relevance if countries take serious care about who to put on their stamps, or simply choose whichever will sell the best all over the world. The only thing that matters is the attention that has been given to the topic "people on stamps of country X" by independent, reliable sources. It may well be worthwhile to improve the articles on the postage stamps of country X by describing how subjects in general are chosen (e.g. in Belgium, there were rules about the equilibrium between the language groups), but for these lists, as for nearly all articles, it simply is WP:GNG that counts.

  • Comment This is an extreme example of philatelycruft that Wikipedia needs to be rid of. The Postage stamps and postal history of Haiti article is very, very poorly written. I think it is also an example of philatelyobession and not understanding the main point. It really should be titled Postal history of Haiti or at worst Postal history and postage stamps of Haiti, and should focus more on what really matters, the way Haiti has operated its postal service to help people communicate, and not so much on what does not matter nearly as much, which is the desing of postage stamps and even less so what pictures or representations have been chosen for postage stamps. The topic here is clearly not notable. I have notice that about half these debates are under media and music and the other half are under society topics. I am going to move them all to society topics, since coverage of the postal operations should be focused on their societal impact.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article was created on 7 May 2004. It has thus existed for over 18 years. It still has no sources. There is no indication that this subject has ever received coverage in any reliable secondary source. That is the absolute minimum we need to create an article. List articles require coverage of the subject of the list as a subject. This article should never have been created, even more so it should not have been allowed to linger for 18 years.

  • Delete. The "current sourcing on the page" amounts to a stats-type site with a news link pointing to a single article mentioning him ("Al-Taawon player, Abdul Malik Al-Ayiri, suffered a knee injury while participating with the Saudi youth team. Al-Ayyari will undergo medical examinations to diagnose the infection and determine the duration of treatment."); his (inaccessible) profile on Saudileague.com; a soccerway stats page; and a trivial mention in another article ("...but Al-Taawoun returned to progress and settled the result in the second half, despite the shortage, by scoring two goals through Abdul-Malik Al-Ayiri in the 66th minute and Towamba in the 93rd minute.").

Battle of Tamworth[edit]

The article is about a supposed Battle of Tamworth in 873-74. The only source cited in the article at [6] does not mention Tamworth in this period. PROD was reverted on the ground that the battle is mentioned in Tamworth and Burgred of Mercia. Wikipedia articles are not reliable sources and neither articles cites a source supporting the claim. The Burgred article cites [7], which does not mention Tamworth. I work extensively on the history of this period and I believe that the article is about an imaginary event, but I will of course be happy to change my mind if there is evidence from a reliable source otherwise.

  • Delete - the purported "source" given in the article (The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle) does not mention Tamworth at all. And it's not mentioned in Stenton's Anglo-Saxon England at all as a site of a battle. In fact, Stenton states "From Torksey, late in 873, the army [Ealdgyth note - The Great Heathen Army] moved to Repton in the centre of Mercia. After a war of which no details are known Burgred, king of the Mercians, left England to spend the rest of his life at Rome." (pp. 250-251 3rd edition). So... Stenton knew no details but this article purports to give a lot ... it's feeling like a hoax to me. Ealdgyth (talk) 14:52, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Further - Richard Abels' biography of Alfred the Great, when discussing the events leading up to Burgred's abdication ... mentions no such battle/siege at Tamworth - in fact doesn't mention Tamworth at all. I think that Stenton and Abels, two modern historians well versed in the sources and period covered, should be considered much more authoritative than a 1913 article in an illustrated general-readership magazine. Nothing else I have on my (extensive) shelves mentions any such siege or battle at Tamworth. Ealdgyth (talk) 15:00, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I gotta ask - did no one at Articles for Creation who checked off on this article here it is as it looked when it got sent to mainspace even LOOK at that source link? First - the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle so it's ability to show notability is a bit suspect, but that aside - on the given source here, there are TWO mentions of Tamworth (it was easy - I did a "find" on the page!) .. and one relates to events in 913 and the other to events in 918. Okay, so let's check the 873 ad 874 entries - well, nothing in 873 has anything about sacking ANY town. 874's entry is "This year went the army from Lindsey to Repton, and there took up their winter-quarters, drove the king, Burhred, over sea, when he had reigned about two and twenty winters, and subdued all that land. He then went to Rome, and there remained to the end of his life. And his body lies in the church of Sancta Maria, in the school of the English nation. And the same year they gave Ceolwulf, an unwise king's thane, the Mercian kingdom to hold; and he swore oaths to them, and gave hostages, that it should be ready for them on whatever day they would have it; and he would be ready with himself, and with all those that would remain with him, at the service of the army." Again - no seige, no sack. Nothing about Burgred going into hiding, nothing about Ivar or Ubbe, nothing about Leofrith... did no one READ the source? It's blatantly not supporting the information it's purporting to support! Nowhere on that source page is Ivar or Ubbe or Leofrith mentioned at all!!!! How did this pass AfC?? Ealdgyth (talk) 19:12, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
        • So ... we're to take the word of a local government over the word of Frank Stenton or Richard Abels - two historians who extensively studied the period and know the sources and stuff? GAH! Ealdgyth (talk) 19:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
          • As I seem to be the only one who has mentioned local government on this page, I am assuming that this last comment is probably directed at me. If that is so, you appear to have missed my point. If we have a government entity reporting something as fact then we probably need to make a note of it, even if we say; "Tamworth Castle and related tourism information refers to a battle in Tamworth in 874. However, this is not supported by academic sources." From Hill To Shore (talk) 19:31, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is an argument for a note on the Tamworth page, not for keeping this article. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:58, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not an expert and haven't even been to AfD before. That said, Cox, Thomas (July 1913). "Ethelfleda's Fortress: Tamworth's Bye-Gone Glories". The English Illustrated Magazine. p. 378., says that "To Tamworth, between his warlike excursions, Offa, the greatest of the Mercian Kings, retired, and kept royal state in a palace whose proportions and magnificence are described as 'the wonder of the age'. The town was destroyed by the Danes in 874, and Mercia, as a kingdom, fell." Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(This is not a vote to keep the article, or of any kind, I just wanted to note that something did happen..!) Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 15:06, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • A 1913 article in a popular magazine is not evidence that anything happened. Dudley Miles (talk) 16:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It wasn't my intention to prove that any siege or battle happened, but I'll leave you to it. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:48, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further enquiries needed Given the prevalence of the idea that Tamworth was burned by the Danes in 874 in numerous online local history articles, it may be that further investigations of reliable local history sources might reveal an origin for the story. However, the article title "Battle" of Tamworth seems purely a Wikipedia coinage, repeated only on mirror sites. Even if a source relating to the burning of the town did surface, whether the burning is in any way notable must still be demonstrated Monstrelet (talk) 18:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep This page from the local government site for Tamworth says they created a re-enactment of the 874-75 siege. That isn't an authoritative source to say a siege happened but it is a clear indication that there is significant belief that it happened. If there isn't reliable source material to report the event as fact, we probably still need an article to report it as an unproven myth or hoax. However, this same function of noting the myth/hoax may be filled by a brief note on another article. From Hill To Shore (talk) 19:08, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Popular histories aren't reliable sources for Anglo-Saxon history; I haven't seen anything cited that I think qualifies as a reliable source for this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete apparently my error. DGG ( talk ) 06:34, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- The only source (or main source) on this period is Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which merely tells how the Danes conquered Mercia. Anything beyond that is Original Research (in the sense used by WP), properly described as historical fantasy. We do not know what happened to Tamworth on c.874. Anything found in local histories is without any reliable source. The article quotes ASC for 913 and 918: ASC text C s.a. 913 says that Aethelflaed built a burh at Tamworth. ASC C s.a. 918 records her death there. If there was a battle of Tamworth, it was in 943 (ASC D text) says that Olaf "broke down Tamworth and great slaughter fell on either side". That is a more likely occasion for any destruction recorded by archaeology, but we should NOT have an article on this, because we know no more detail than the quotation I have just given. There is far too little known to warrant an article. If not deleted, it should be redirected to Tamworth#history, where the Anglo-Saxon section covers the subject, thiough naming a different Danish commander. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment It's more than that, this claim has been made in numerous published sources. There is a related discussion goin on at Talk:Tamworth,_Staffordshire#Vikings_sacked_Tamworth. G-13114 (talk) 21:09, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    If you can provide an example of a source that makes this claim that would be considered reliable by Wikipedia's standards, I would change my !vote to "keep", but as far as I can tell it's only popular histories which say this. I know I've seen examples of Victorian antiquaries adding made-up details to their accounts of Anglo-Saxon history, and those old books, which are accessible on Google Books to anyone interested, get used as sources in their turn. Hence this is a topic area where academic sources are really necessary. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:25, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SINGLEEVENT. – Ploni (talk) 13:47, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Everything I found on Google covered the same basic information about her (her ability to collect static electricity on her body), plus some sites I believe are irrelevant to her. As this article is about a person with a major role in a minor event, the name of the person should redirect to the article on the incident, because the individual is only notable for that incident and it is all that the person is associated with in the source coverage. But, the event does not have enduring historical significance and will not likely impact the future. --LPS and MLP Fan (Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony Fan) 20:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Street light interference phenomenon - there is a 2004 Guardian source in the article, as well as a 2000 The Sunday Telegraph source in the WP Library, via ProQuest, "When people and machines don't get on ELECTRICITY" that mentions "Michael Shallis, a science tutor in Oxford, made a four-year study of 600 people exhibiting extremes of bioelectricity, and published the results in The Electric Shock Book in 1988. One woman studied by Shallis was Jacqueline Priestman of Sale, near Manchester, who had ruined 30 vacuum cleaners, five irons and two washing machines in 10 years." The 1985 New Straits Times source in the article focuses on her, but seems questionable as a source. The sources seem to clearly indicate this is not a single event, but also do not appear sufficient to support a standalone article. Beccaynr (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Completely agree about no enduring historical significance and will not likely impact the future. Also not enough to make her notable. I think content about her could be added to the Street light interference phenomenon article, does that count as a merge? Chronotime (talk) 15:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted a long time ago at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Blakey (music producer), it is now recreated with new sources, but upon closer inspection it seems to be mostly nonsense, puffery, and other unverifiable stuff. He "has sold over 140 million albums" but is linked from not a single one on Wikipedia, and his Discogs page [22] doesn't give the impression that this is true. He was a "Melody Maker Producer of the Year"? Repeated in vanity sources, but not in a single reliable source it seems, and unlikely considering his career as a producer. Should be deleted as a hoax, but isn't obvious enough to get a speedy without explanation I think. Fram (talk) 11:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    • The two sources you kept are equally unreliable as the ones you removed though. "He provided the music for several television shows and films. Among them were the film “Shaft,” and “Jackass: The Movie.” " Too bad that his work on e.g. Jackass was "uncredited". "he was [sic!] produced tracks for some of the greatest artists in the world" including "No Doubt, Eminem, Willie Nelson, Engelbert Humperdinck, and many others.", but no one can tell which track he produced for e.g. Eminem or No Doubt, all sources just repeat the claim that he did. Fram (talk) 07:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • I completely understand where you are coming from, however, it's my opinion that we should still give this stub a chance since Michael Blakey does have a long career. Having a stub will not eliminate the probabibility of other wiki contributors finding reliable resources and adding on to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.203.241.169 (talk) 16:26, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete After a bit of investigation, the man indeed has a long career with some sort of tangental connection to numerous notable artists/projects. But his exact role in each of these is unclear and--considering lack of independent RS--points towards functionary services rather than significant contributions. I'll add that he has an aggressive personal social media presence built around braggado and puffery. The original, deleted wiki page seemed to be an extension of this. I'm not sure what to make of this possibly good faith effort to recreate the deleted page by a third party, but--bottom line--there is still not enough genuine non-self promotional RS coverage to back up claims of notability.

As a board game hobbyist, somewhat familiar with the (rather sparse) academic studies on this (such as Wood's Eurogames) which I even reviewed, I don't think this term is notable - it's pretty much a synonym for tabletop game. Which is a poor article that needs rescue, but is notable. Trying to argue that table games is a topic that exists in board game hobby aside from the concept of tabletop is IMHO incorrect and not backed up by sources, and as for the casino games, I think we should wait for the Casino game#Table games section to grow before splitting it prematurely. For now I suggest to convert this either to a redirect to casino game (I did so and was reverted), or maybe into a disambig between casino game and tabletop game concepts.

  • Keep and improve. Piotrus is right that the article is a mess, but redirecting it to casino game reflects a regional, legal usage. Outside of the US "table game" is a common term referring to games played on a table or using a table. So there are two distinct meanings: a narrower US legal term for a type of casino game, and a wider more universal one overlapping with "tabletop game" but not synonymous with it. There are numerous book sources out that there that use the term in this broader sense, e.g. the Encyclopedia of World Sport (1999) "the earliest mention of pool as an indoor table game"; The Activity Year Book (2009) "Billiards: a table game for two or more players..."; Word Problems: Grade 5 (2003) "... the responses of fifth graders when asked to name their favorite table game"; The Rotarian (1992) "In its early years as a table game, Billiards..."; Indianapolis Monthly (2006) "today's shuffleboard is a table game"; Table Tennis (1942) "I've met some of the finest people in the sport world through the table game..."; Board and Table Game Antiques (2008); Chambers Dictionary (2002): "table game: a board game"; Leadership for Recreation and Leisure Programs and Settings (1999): "a low, organized table game is slapjack or go fish, whereas the game farmer and pig table game is played...". These are just examples indicating the spectrum of usage across a wide range of different sources, there are many more. Even from those few sources we can give cited examples of this wider use as including e.g. pool, table tennis, billiards, card games and board games. Essentially any game on or using a table. Bermicourt (talk) 17:55, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Per comments above, unless we can get proper definition and SIGCOV discussion of this, I think a dab, perhaps larger than the one I initially suggested, is fine. I do wonder if this might be better handled through creating a Category:Table games, which can be backed up by the dictionary definition we found by User:Hobit, rather then try to list all games that may be 'table games' in a disambig, however. Btw, from the definition perspective, things get messy anyway - consider. Board games can be played on the floor too. Pool or ping pong cannot... in fact, I think there should be a term for games that need a table, separate from games that just often are played on a table but don't have to be. But does it even exist? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree it is messy. But I do think we should have a dab page here one way or the other. I'm less sure about a category--I'd have a hard time sourcing the use of this term. But what I did is look at the first 30 results returned by Google and Bing and concluded that there isn't a single thing that this term is commonly used to describe. There are, however, lots of things that it is used to describe. To me, that feels like a dab page is what we should have. Hobit (talk) 12:29, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Doing a Google search turns up a bunch of different things--generally a hint that this should be a dab page. I'd propose we dab to at least: tabletop game and Casino game#Table games. Maybe also Ping pong, Pool (cue sports), Table football and a few others (is there a name or article for the general notion of those types of sports/games?). But I don't think the topic we have there now is the primary one. Hobit (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree that we need something reasonable at this target; I like Hobit's DAB idea. Jclemens (talk) 21:45, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to disambiguation page. As it stands, this is a dicdef, but the term "table game" is just ambiguous enough that it might refer to either tabletop game or casino game, the latter of which describes the term "table game" in that context. In that regard, I feel switching it to a dab between the two terms is justified. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@SailingInABathTub I don't deny that casino table games likely warrant a stand alone article, but given that we have very little content about this actually written, and next to nothing in the main article, why not merge it there? In fact, I have done so (merge), so now the referenced content in this article is available at [[Casino game#Table games]]. If it grows, it can be split into a subarticle, but right now I don't see the need for that. Better to TNT the current half-disambi mess, make it into a disambig, and let someone start a proper article about table game (casino) one day. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per Bermicourt (talk · contribs), outside of the US the definition includes some reliable descriptions include more than just casino games.[1][2] I don't have a particular objection to turning it into a WP:DAB.

  • Convert to disambiguation page as per TenPoundHammer. There are three possible interpretations for table-game: casino games, billiard-like games, and monopoly-like board games. We have articles on all of these, so unless someone can find some overarching link between them that absolutely must be discussed in an overarching article, we don't need this article. We're not here to be a dictionary; the best thing is to use this page simply to point our readers at the place where they will find the information they're seeking, whatever their personal understanding of the term. Elemimele (talk) 12:12, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to disambiguation page per above - As discussed, as the term "table game" can be used to describe a couple different things, a disambiguation makes sense to assist in searches. But as mentioned by Elemimele, it does not make sense to try to cover them all together in one article when they already each have their own articles/sections discussing them individually. Rorshacma (talk) 15:30, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Heresy in Christianity in the modern era[edit]

Heresy in Christianity in the modern era (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 article is mostly unsourced and I do not see it as having an encyclopedical value.
I do not see how it is something else than an arbitrarily chosen (WP:OR) compilation or list of recent cases concerning Heresy in Christianity. Why are those people notable? The criterion are obscure and arbitrary. Is any person considered a heretic by their congregation (however small it may be) worthy of being mentioned? Is every trial for heresy, even those which ended up with the innocent verdict (Tony Campolo has his own section here), notable? Wikipedia would soon run out of server space if all those cases were added. "Walter Kenyon (Presbyterian, United States, 1974)" was allegedly (no source are given) refused ordination in a Presbyterian assembly after his refusal to ordain women. Is this latter case notable and why?
The earliest case here is in 1893. There is no indication in the article of what modern era is supposed to mean when it comes to date, and the Wikipedia redirect defines it as what comes after 1500. Why is the date of 1893 used, can we go before?
Most of the cases are unsourced, and some concern allegedly WP:BLP.
I fail to see how the the classification and difference of "modern" and "non-modern" treatment of heretics among the whole Christendom is taken into account, because it is unclear if there is even a difference.
In conclusion, this article is WP:OR and does not meet WP:GNG, therefore it should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 00:21, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but prune -- This is essentially a list article, which has a validity of a kind, but there is a real BLP issue. There should in every case be a link to an article on the subject, which needs to comply with the BLP guidelines. Those found innocent after an enquiry should not be listed; equally if the subject's explanation is that he has been misunderstood. Being refused ordination shpould not be sufficient to merit inclusion. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:59, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Heresy in Christianity and prune. As User:Peterkingiron said, there's some validity to the list itself, but I disagree with that "keep" because I think after it is pruned and cited appropriately, it will fit perfectly well within Heresy_in_Christianity#Reformation_and_Modern_Era_(1520–present); there's really no need for it to have its own page.

    Certainly no objections from me. If we can prune this list and start paring things down to where they should be, it could be that we'll find there's not much reason to keep/merge. Go for it. Sleddog116 (talk) 17:32, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Alright, I've made no content decisions whatsoever (ie, I have not looked at the strength of any individual sources or the neutrality or notability of any of the content) and simply removed every person on the list for which there were zero inline citations. That leaves us with this diff: [23]. We've lost all the Anglicans, Reformed, and Lutheran examples, and most of the others too - a total of six examples remain. I propose:
    • merge the bit on George Burman Foster to his article, which is pretty stubby
    • the bit on Tony Campolo is already in his article; no further action needed
    • Jon Sobrino's article deals with this already, in fuller detail; no further action needed
    • the Methodists: the only useful thing left, I think? Unfortunately we don't have a "heresy in Methodism" article to merge them to, and they don't appear to have articles of their own. I don't really think they belong in the Heresy in Christianity article (the 1520-present section is pretty brief and I don't think it would be significantly improved by the two additions, but someone might disagree here). I'm not terribly concerned about losing these two examples.
    • Don Stroud: a BLP violation in hiding, I'd say - I think this should be removed entirely.
    So, still a delete vote from me overall, aside from the selective merge of George Burman Foster. I don't think we should keep the essay that is currently residing in the lead. -- asilvering (talk) 04:35, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He has written a number of what I refer to unreverently as "business porn" books - basically business books that are to business what self-help books are to the self. I find no evidence that he ever had a best seller (a NYT search on his name turns up zero), but I did find one of his books reviewed in Publisher's Weekly and there might be more reviews to be found. The PW reviews really only prove that the item was published via a respectable publisher. I did find some books listed in WorldCat, one with over 400 libraries, others in the 2-digit numbers.

In this latest take on the tried and true crime genre, the producers dig up (not literally) the real people who were involved in crimes that shocked the suburban communities in which they took place. So far, so good. But then "Suburban Secrets" drifts off into a format so dumb it's criminal. The real people, for reasons I hope never to understand, reenact the parts they played in solving the real crime, or worse, are made to have these bogus conversations with one another that ring as phony as the media whores who are increasingly allowed to waste our time on "American Idol.""

  • Not sure, but not excited about a keep.Delete, explained below. My first thought when I looked at the article was WP:TNT since these long lists of examples are often pretty uninformative. I tried searching for some actual coverage of the concept of a hooker with a heart of gold, but didn't find a lot. I've added some info from this sociology article, which specifically says the archetype belongs to 1980s American films, distinguishing it from other narrative tropes about prostitution from other periods. This chapter says it evaluates the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold trope but actually mostly critiques a few versions of Moulin Rouge with very few statements about the trope at large. So I'm not sure how feasible it is to write something that's not just a glorified TVTropes article. I'm also not sure that it's justified to combine "hooker with a heart of gold" and "tart with a heart" in one article. Both seem more like marketing phrases than analytic terms. Of the sources in the article, almost none seem to contribute notability for the overarching concepy. This article on prostitutes in Hindi films, and the article " "Of Names of Women in Hindi Cinema: An Exploration in Semantics", are the only ones which don't seem to just be reviews of individual films. They use the phrase "heart of gold" but not the word "hooker." I wonder if the actual topic about which substantial sourcing exists is the broader one of "prostitution in cinema." Or should it become a list? "List of fictional prostitutes with hearts of gold" sounds a bit silly. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Week keep for the article but considering deletion for the list of examples (but for now, abstain on that, see my following thoughts). The sources LEvalyn found and added suggest this topic (stock character/trope) is notable, but the article suffers from the common problem of wP:NOTTVTROPES. List of fictional prostitutes with hearts of gold is not just "silly", it fails WP:NLIST/WP:SALAT too - while the section possibly fails WP:IPC, WP:GNG, WP:OR, etc. (Example of OR: The list opens with "The story of Rahab in the Bible's Book of Joshua is considered by some the earliest example of this character type", but the quote used in reference does not confirm this is "som eof the earliest" - it's just the earlist entry in the list). That said, I'll note that NLIST applies to stand-alone list, so perhaps this section can be retained as a section, with a note that at present, due to lack of any reliable outside lists of this trope, it should not be split? I'll admit that due to use of quotations (good practice), it does represent above-average level of referencing. Given that most of the entries are referneced with secondary sources, which do describe relevant characters as hookers/whores with hears of gold, it is much better than what we usually discuss here.

  • Keep This seems to be a genuine stock character, as attested by secondary sources, and therefore should be treated somewhere on Wikipedia. Per WP:AtD, if an article can be improved that's preferable to deletion. First steps for improvement have already been taken by LEvalyn (thanks!). If this should in the end be not enough, an alternative to deletion would be a merge of the core content to List of stock characters, and of the sourced examples in the list to List of prostitutes and courtesans#Fictional.

  • Comment: I'm finding quite a bit of mention so far, a lot of the coverage describes this as more of a western character trope - or at least that it pretty much originated in the west, particularly the United States. As to when it exactly started, that's less clear. It does seem to have become far more popular in the last 100 or so years, but that there were examples of this earlier on than that - they just didn't use this specific term. One PhD dissertation describes this as a more modern day spinoff of the idea of the sinner/saint trope. In any case my thought is to keep but improve so far.

  • Explanation for my Delete. Putting my second comment here to preserve the flow of discussion. I do want to state more explicitly that we have exactly one source which is actually about the topic "hooker with a heart of gold." That's the sociological paper by Griffiths, which says it is exclusively present in 1980s American cinema. From what I see right now, everything else is either a discussion of a specific movie, which uses the phrase "hooker with a heart of gold" in passing, or it is about a much broader trope, something like "a prostitute, but what if you liked her because she was a good person" -- which is typically not discussed with the phrase "hooker with a heart of gold." (The analysis of courtesans in Hindi cinema fall into the latter category.) Just because the phrase is used a lot doesn't mean the trope has gotten actual coverage and analysis. Based on the sources, I think a "hooker with a heart of gold" article has to be about 1980s American cinema. I also think the trope in 1980s American cinema is not notable because it only has one source. Therefore, I think the question at hand is whether the 1980s "hooker with a heart of gold" trope can be meaningfully combined with some larger, actually notable topic. The lack of a name for this broader trope does not inspire confidence on that front. I increasingly think that following the sources means merging this article to a new "prostitution in cinema" article. That is the topic about which books and articles have actually been written; indeed, that is the main topic of Griffiths' sociological article. People who simply say there are "a lot of sources" need to address whether those sources are about "hooker with a heart of gold" or merely use the phrase. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:43, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    In American literature, the trope (not the term) is attributed to Bret Harte, a contemporary of Mark Twain. I found a couple of sources, but I'm not sure how valid they are. I've listed them on the talk page and would welcome your input. I like the idea of an article on the depiction of sex workers in film (or literature). Seems a lot more encyclopedic and less "TV Tropes." Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 03:52, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Here is another secondary source which discusses the trope('s origins) within Western literature to some degree, mostly on p. 168. It also supports the other two sources' link to Bret Harte, p. 165. Also this article, while only having one longish sentence, tells us about the ubiquitousness of the trope. Daranios (talk) 10:59, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for doing this digging. On reading them, they seem to be about the other major trope for representing prostitutes, the "fallen woman." The examples discussed at length are not women who are considered morally upstanding members of their society who are beloved by the characters and the narrative (ie the hooker with the heart of gold), but rather, women who have been irretrievably ruined by prostitution, get narrative sympathy only as a tragic figure, and even then can only be considered sympathetically because the West itself is already outside of "society". One of the main examples is actually dead for most of the story. I tried pretty hard to find quotes/details to expand this article from those two sources but without luck. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:01, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@LEvalyn: Those sources use the exact phrase "hooker with a heart of gold". I guess it's just short enough that I'm allowed to quote: New Wests and Post-Wests says on p. 165 "Modern literary critics attribute the origins of the Western and the stereotype of the frontier hooker with a heart of gold to Harte." P. 168 first talks about a specific example and then "...the role of the hooker with a heart of gold - the prostitute whose kind deeds compensate for her lack of virtue. That this type of prostitute was commonly depicted in works of Harte and Miller suggest that gender on the frontier was flexible. As White points out, the mythic West was a space where women existed as either virgins or whores, but the hooker with a heart of gold stereotype suggested that a woman could be both." Sounds like a summary discussion of the type (also pointing out the pervasiveness) to me. Daranios (talk) 19:10, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Seems to be a recognised stock character, widely used in critical discussion not relating to film. eg from Project Muse (specific subscription only): Kristen D. Amiro (2018). Suzy's Gold Star: A Holistic Education in Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday.

Azalea: Journal of Korean Literature & Culture Volume 13: 11-22 ("As a translator, one of the instances that I found uncomfortable is the chapter in Song of the Sword ... involving the courtesan Yŏ-jin ... Kim's account is a fictional one, which, to the contemporary reader, does far less to achieve verisimilitude about medieval life than clumsily resort to the cliché of the "hooker with a heart of gold.""); Robert Haas (2011). Homer on the Range. Classical World Volume 104, Number 2, 245-251 ("One character, incidentally, has no Homeric precedent: Maudie, the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold, who fills the stock Western role of a romantic love interest for Arch."); Katie N. Johnson (2009). Before Katrina: Archiving Performative Downpours and Fallen Women Named Sadie in Rain and The Deluge (1922).

"Feminist Ambiguity in the Film Adaptations of Lynne Stopkewich" in The Gendered Screen [25] ("Stopkewich’s adaptation clearly announces itself as a rejection of the “hooker with a heart of gold” template that has so often been recycled in Hollywood products as diverse as Pretty Woman, Trading Places, and Leaving Las Vegas, and in non-film narratives from Nancy in Oliver Twist to the Hebrew Bible’s Rahab.") and many more (31 hits in total for the quoted phrase). ETA: They also include several discussing the use in American film well pre-1980s. ETA2: Also several discussing the trope in Roman/Greek drama, including an interesting note "The notion that possessing a "golden nature" ... makes her a "true hetaira" recalls Theognis's obsessive wish to find a pistos hetairos just like himself, "refined gold when rubbed on a touchstone" (Thgn. 415-18, 449-52). The similarity of language and theme suggests that the "hooker with a heart of gold," who becomes a staple of New Comedy, is an adaptation of an older aristocratic ideal." p185-86 in Coins, Bodies, Games, and Gold: The Politics of Meaning in Archaic Greece [26]. ETA3 Open-access article that cites two 1970s books on portrayal women in film that discuss the archetype.[27]. While I'm aware that most of these aren't discussing the trope itself, surely we can source a list of characters that reliable sources discuss using this terminology? I'm not seeing any reason to delete this content, even if a broader article on portrayals of prostitution would be interesting. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:59, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for doing this digging. Of these sources, most seem to be exactly what I mean about a sourcing using a phrase rather than being about the trope. Only Coins, Bodies, Games, and Gold seems to be doing more than identifying a certain text as an example or counterexample of the phenomenon (that one speculates about the origins of the trope). If all we're doing is sourcing examples, then we're talking about a list, which should pass WP:NLIST. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 01:01, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I was initially trying to find examples to show it wasn't just applied to 1980s American film, and was a much broader and older trope. I think the Stopkewich one is also useful. Espresso Addict (talk) 19:59, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'd just like to highlight LEvalyn's point. It doesn't matter how many examples we can collate; it matters how much the topic has been discussed in secondary sources. Remember WP:NOTTVTROPES, WP:NLIST, and WP:STAND. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 02:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm baffled by the repeated assertion that this passes WP:GNG based on the sources we have found so far. Yes, the topic exists - no one disagrees. Yes, this is a recognized stock character. But we need secondary sources that discuss the trope, not merely speak its name. What we have is a massive list of passing mentions ("charactername is a hooker with a heart of gold"), not in-depth coverage of the trope itself. The article that results from these sources will be entirely made of WP:OR, or it will be more properly named "list of hookers with a heart of gold". That already exists, here: [28]. I'm not !voting delete because I still haven't had a chance to do a proper look for better sources, but there isn't sourcing here or in the article for a Keep right now, despite the proliferation of footnotes. -- asilvering (talk) 04:07, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Asilvering: After recent improvements there is currently no content without references (aside from the introductory line, which customarily doesn't need one), so there is no WP:OR going on. And yet we do have a non-stubby article, if a short one, which is the goal of the notability requirement in the first place. And that's when not all found secondary sources have been worked into the article yet. Daranios (talk) 10:30, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. there's emough, especially is one does not get pedatic in expecting the exact phrase, but acepts synonyms. For example, the trophe is discussed in every book about early 20the century film smd popular novels of the period. . I cannot immediately think of a better title--there are many synonyms, of vaious degrees of euphemism. The assumption that he sources merely list the characters ifs falso--they are usually discussed.

    @ Just Another Cringy Username In my view the article already contained sufficient analyses to be exempt from WP:NOTTVTROPES, even more so when taking into account the sources detailed by editor Espresso Addict. As you still had concerns I've further expanded the article. To pick out just one of the top tier sources I used, the Cambridge University Press book Prostitutes and Matrons in the Roman World has an entire chapter analysing hookers with a heart of gold, talking about the historical development of the trope, mentioning a few real world examples, and discussing the social purpose of the trope. Theres such an abundance of good sources analysing the stereotype that it would be trivial to expand the article to good article status if one had a few days to spare.

  • Comment I was pinged for my opinion by Piotrus.
    Looking at the cited sources, I must say that this isn't by any stretch of the imagination a well-sourced article. The number of sources is really not that important (we're not going for a much-sourced article, but a well-sourced one), the quality is what matters. That's quality as it relates to the topic of the article, specifically.
    What the topic of the article actually is/should be could go two ways: either the character archetype or the phrase (i.e. WP:WORDISSUBJECT). I'm assuming we're going for the former here (the latter would necessitate starting the entire article over from scratch), but it's worth keeping in mind that the character archetype and the phrase used to refer to it are two distinct topics.
    Having said that, this is in a pretty poor state. As pointed out by LEvalyn and Asilvering, what we want is proper secondary (or tertiary, I suppose) sources discussing and analysing the general concept. This should be obvious: an article on X should be based on sources on X. Basing an article on sources about something else makes for an article of poor quality. The reason for this in the specific context of fiction/popular culture is outlined in the essay WP:CARGO: Simply amassing raw data, and hoping that an encyclopaedia article will magically arise from it, doesn't work. [...] Collecting raw data does not produce an analysis. The raw data can be examples, that demonstrate the analysis. (There are some elephant jokes in elephant joke, for example.) But simply amassing huge piles of them doesn't make an analysis. What makes an analysis is finding the works of experts in the field who have done analyses of the raw data, and then condensing and summarizing their published analyses into the article. (Collecting raw data and then producing our own novel analyses of those data is, of course, original research that is forbidden here.) This is also in line with WP:WHYN—we need quality sources to make a quality article. The sources do not need to be exclusively on the topic at hand, but they do need to be significantly on the topic at hand and in-depth in their coverage (WP:Significant coverage). Likewise, the article need not exclusively cite these kinds of top-quality sources—sources on adjacent topics can be useful for fleshing out the details—but they do need to provide the foundation and backbone of the article.
    With all this in mind, we can't really keep the article in its current state, because it is—to be blunt—bad. We have a few different options available to us.
    At minimum, this should be redirected to List of stock characters (and an WP:ANCHOR for direct linking to the relevant entry should be added) if we don't keep it as a stand-alone article. I don't think it's in dispute that this is a widely-recognized character archetype, and we do have sufficient sourcing for a single-sentence definition.
    Another possible solution would be to convert this to an article on the broader topic of Prostitution in fiction or similar, as LEvalyn suggested. I would suggest moving the article to draftspace until the conversion is complete in such a case, since this would entail a complete rewrite.
    The ideal solution would of course be to locate additional sources focused on and analysing the concept in general and rewrite the article based on those, but then we have to actually follow through on that. If we are to keep this as a stand-alone article, the list of examples needs to go. Merely enumerating examples of X in fiction is what TV Tropes does, but Wikipedia is of course WP:NOTTVTROPES. Examples should be integrated in prose alongside relevant analysis (again, WP:CARGO), and their sourcing should meet the requirements set out by MOS:POPCULT: Cultural references about a subject should not be included simply because they exist. Rather, all such references should be discussed in at least one reliable secondary or tertiary source which specifically links the cultural item to the subject of the article. This source should cover the subject of the article in some depth; it should not be a source that merely mentions the subject's appearance in a movie, song, television show, or other cultural item.

Deprodded with addition of sources, but they are both fluff pieces. One is a Huffington Post listicle about shows that Drake enjoyed watching, and the other is a "where are they now?" that mostly focuses on Ryan Gosling. Newspapers.com and ProQuest gave only TV Guide directory listings and press releases. Everything else was just a superficial mention in an article on Ryan Gosling.

      The book notes: "Breaker High Breaker Productions, Inc./Saban Entertainment/Shavick Entertainment. UPN. (September 15, 1997–March 30, 1998). Fourty-four episodes were filmed without a laugh track in Canada, where the show aired on YTV. Breaker High is High School on the High Seas. On a cruise ship that travels the globe, the students learn history and geography up close and personal. Of course, many of the students also get up close and personal, thus producing romantic (think Love Boat), comedic and dramatic moments. ... There were numerous exotic settings on this dramedy that aired each weekday for nine weeks, but all of the 44 episodes were filmed in Burnaby, British Colombia, Canada. After one season, UPN docked the cruise ship for good. The executive producers were Haim Saban, Shuki Levy, Russa Manche and Ian Christian Nickus."

      The article notes: "Gosling had little choice at the time, since Breaker High existed for a solitary season back in 1997. Created for broadcast on the struggling UPN network, Breaker High focused on a group of precocious teens attending high school on a luxury cruise ship. (Think The Love Boat meets Saved by the Bell.) Filmed in Burnaby, B.C., the show produced 44 half-hour episodes, which YTV aired incessantly in the years to follow. As one of Breaker High's principal characters, Gosling played the slicked-back character Sean -- a supposed ladies' man whose constant efforts to appear smooth usually made him look foolish. ... As the rebellious and slightly dense Max, Vickaryous was presumably the character who brought in the young female viewers. Born in Port Alberni, B.C., he was a standout high-school athlete (football and wrestling) whose first TV gig came on Breaker High."

      The article notes: "For anyone unfortunate enough to not be familiar with the best boat-centred show ever to be filmed in Burnaby, B.C., "Breaker High" only ran from 1997 to 1998, but its impact was long-lasting. It's about a group of teenagers attending high school on a boat, and it features a teenage Ryan Gosling as a dorky type who tries hard to be cool. What more do you need from TV, really? It could occasionally focus on topics like like drinking and teen pregnancy, but unlike Degrassi, it hinged more on a sitcom feel than on Issues Facing Teens. It also included lots of bucket hats, chokers, and the iconic "C8" rating when it aired on YTV, indicating that it's appropriate for kids aged eight and up. Sample episode description: "Jimmy becomes the third wheel with newly dating couple Sean and Tamira and can't seem to leave them alone. He then accidentally broadcasts their makeout session on Shipwreck Radio." Don't you hate it when that happens?"

The one-time Alberta football and wrestling star had left home in 1996 for acting lessons in Vancouver, and soon afterwards, a heartthrob role on Breaker High. Filmed in Vancouver, the teen show quickly developed a devoted core following, partially for its melding of Beverly Hills 90210 and the Love Boat, and partially for its casting of Vickaryous as the hunky captain's son."

Vickaryous's dark good looks landed him the role of Max Ballard, the rebellious son of the ship's captain. The series stopped filming more than a year ago, but it keeps popping up on reruns, especially in Canada, where it continues to enjoy a huge following both on individual local stations and also on the YTV cable network."

Breaker High handed Gosling, then 16, his break in TV -- pllaying a teenage nerd trying to get the girl. Cori Shepherd Stern created the show. A junior production company worker when her bosses asked for a companion to Sweet Valley High, Stern pitched the idea and suddenly had an order for 65 episodes, though in the end 44 were made."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Breaker High to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    The Globe and Mail and Huffington Post pieces, which I mentioned in the nom, are just random listicles with no journalistic merit. I don't think Huffington Post is even an acceptable source for Wikipedia, but either way, it's just a clickbait piece about Drake and other randomly selected shows the editors wrote about to make a listicle. Everything else is just a one-sentence blurb. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:44, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- You in both your nomination and your reply have ignored the book source, but I also think that the Globe and Mail piece, even if a "where are they now" piece, clearly shows a sustained focus on the show, given that it was twenty years after it aired, and was associated with one of the biggest newspapers in Canada. matt91486 (talk) 06:31, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The "Where are they now" piece is still just a randomly selected listicle. It has all the journalistic cred of Buzzfeed. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:36, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This certainly does need improvement, but notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on whether they're all already in the article or not. For a show that aired 25 years ago, the best sourcing won't google, and instead will have to be recovered from archives — and indeed, on a ProQuest search I found that substantial WP:GNG-worthy coverage most certainly does exist. Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    So you want me to just ASSUME that there might possibly maybe be sources we don't know about yet, when Cunard has already proven that nobody in the show's entire existence dedicated more than half a sentence to it, and the only thing of note afterward is a "where are they now?" fluff piece that is about the actors and not the show at all?

I think limited-conservation areas (or special conservation areas) (Estonian: hoiualad) shouldn't be presented as a standalone articles in enwiki. At best, we need List of limited-conservation areas in Estonia. In total there are over 319 limited-conservation areas in Estonia. And it seems to be obvious clutter in enwiki, if we do 319 inferior articles about them.

  • Keep, probably. Well, I'd hesitate to argue with Estonians about Estonian special conservation areas, but something seems wrong here. For one thing, talk of "limited-conservation areas" I find unhelpful as seeming to play down their importance with an incomprehensible phrase. For another, the article, though a stub, is already useful in a) indicating that the area exists b) showing where it is with a helpful map, and c) naming some of the key species that it helps to protect. It would seem a shame to delete all of this only for someone else to start from scratch. Further, I'd have thought the notability of a place like a special conservation area was more or less established, though of course more sourcing would be helpful. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The nomination fails to provide a policy- or guideline-based rationale for deletion, and it's not "obvious clutter".

Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Unsourced. –Ploni (talk) 03:08, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question to the nominator. Your justification is quite brief... In the context of the volume of hits in Google News, Google books etc, and the large number of books she's clearly written, don't you think she's got a good shot at WP:CREATIVE? CT55555 (talk) 03:24, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the comment. For me Google News yields no hits, and the Google Books results are almost exclusively her own works. She's published a fair number of books, but I haven't been able to find significant coverage elsewhere. I stand to be corrected, though! –Ploni (talk) 11:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CT55555 By "books", do you mean her compositions? Those wouldn't fall under WP:NBOOK. The rule of thumb would be WP:COMPOSER instead. -- asilvering (talk) 12:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I'm not certain, there was so many, they looked like musical textbooks, they could have been compositions, but I didn't translate, and assumed the nom had looked into this, hence my question. My first impressions (not verified) were that she created a significant body of work. CT55555 (talk) 12:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CT55555 I don't think they're textbooks exactly, so much as collections of songs to learn piano from. I know that sounds like a textbook when I write it out in a sentence, but I think anyone who's ever taken lessons for a popular instrument like piano or violin is familiar with the kind of book I mean. "Christmas Songs for Piano Beginners" kind of thing. -- asilvering (talk) 13:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I don't disagree. My question was a genuine open question, I wasn't implying any answer. I think WP:COMPOSER seems better than my suggestion and if I find the time, I'll try to assess against that. CT55555 (talk) 13:25, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CT55555 Don't worry, I understood it as a genuine open question. Sorry if I implied otherwise. -- asilvering (talk) 13:47, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fair point. She does not appear to pass WP:COMPOSER in any case. It seems she's published almost only music textbooks or exam pieces, and I can't find evidence of her textbooks being particularly influential, or of any notable compositions. –Ploni (talk) 13:27, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Ok, I'm not seeing a reasonable pass of WP:GNG or anything else here, but I wouldn't rule it out, so if someone finds something substantial, please ping me. This is a useful page to get a sense of her work: [32]. Basically, she is a piano teacher who publishes volumes of her compositions for the sake of students who are learning to play piano. I think she has a "significant body of work" in the sense that it is large, but it's not the kind of work that gets reviewed or discussed in ways that lend themselves to writing an encyclopedia article, and I don't believe that it is of historical significance either. It's not WP:COMPOSER-meeting stuff. As for google and news hits, I'm finding quite a few hits about her work being performed by school bands and the like, but nothing that's in-depth discussion of her or her work (those articles are about the school's music programs). We can add some sources to this unsourced article, but there is very little we can say with WP:RS other than a sentence or two about how she is a piano teacher whose compositions are used in schools - that is, we can't really say anything about her or her work. So no grounds for an article. -- asilvering (talk) 13:46, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • A comment on the de-wiki context: her article there went to deletion discussion in 2008, was deleted, then overturned. There's also quite a bit of drama on the talk page about claims that were in the article that Terzibaschitsch apparently was unhappy with and whether they came from adequate sourcing (those claims are not in the current en-wiki article). German wikipedia has very different inclusion guidelines than en-wiki's (to simplify: en-wiki's are based on whether sources exist, where de-wiki's are often based on factual criteria like "companies with n employees are notable" and "authors with more than x published non-fiction books are notable"), and in general I wouldn't look to a deletion discussion from 14 years ago for precedent. The main argument in favour of keeping the article on de-wiki was "has lots of non-fiction books"; also mention of how her work is used in many (elementary) schools. I don't think any of this is helpful for our discussion here; I simply bring it up to pre-empt the inevitable "but did you look at the de-wiki article" question. -- asilvering (talk) 14:06, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Sorority Life, as the least bad solution. The disambiguation page can not exist with only one link to a topic that qualifies to be on a disambiguation page. The sole "keep" vote in the discussion is premised on the sole legitimate use, and would suffice if this were an RfD, but has no basis in policy for keeping as a disambiguation page. No prejudice against recreation if multiple articles on entities by this name, or describing entities by this name, are created in the future. BD2412 T 06:12, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It does seem to exist, hits for a fraternity in some places and a sorority in others. It is a redlink in Sorority Life which probably accounts for the UB link in the dab. Not really covered anywhere in WP, so delete is probably better than a redirect. MB 14:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It existed; it was a local sorority founded at UB in 1988; it was featured on MTV's Sorority Life season 2 in 2002; it was disbanded by the school in approximately 2008. I contributed to the original post because I find value, but otherwise I don't have much to justify Keep. As far as I know, there is no article to accurately redirect to which provides information about the sorority. "Delta Xi Omega". whiterox 1:46, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Comment whiterox not doubting that it existed. I've created and improved pages on national fraternities and sororities that no longer exist.
    • Delta Xi Omega at UB is no longer recognized and according to https://www.buffalo.edu/studentlife/life-on-campus/clubs-and-activities/search/fraternity-and-sorority-life.html it appears that it merged(?) with Alpha Sigma Alpha's UB chapter and is a non-recognized group called Zeta Phi.
    • Delta Xi Omega at Faulkner , I'm still trying to figure out why it was mentioned at Wikipedia at *all* even as a redirect other than possibly a list of Faulkner's local clubs (The school has no national GLOs)
    • As for the deltaxiomega.org website, I can't even tell what group it is for. The website has an image for a coat of arms(?) and *nothing* else.Naraht (talk) 13:04, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • A strange case. There is a Delta Xi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha in Salisbury, North Carolina, that doesn't seem like it is a college organization but more a women's fraternal org. The website with just a crest, per Internet Archive, used to be the domain for the sorority at UB, and an archived History page has that same crest ([33]). The site came down about the middle of the decade. News results dry up both in the UB Spectrum and the Buffalo News after MTV left town despite continuing on to at least 2010. A redirect to Sorority Life may be the best course of action. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:22, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I see no basis for deletion. This article doesn't attempt to list 2-wheelers anyway, and the article could be renamed to limit scope to automobiles.

I would argue in favor of deletion purely on the basis that the page creator appears extremely emotionally invested in this page which to me indicates WP:COI.

This has devolved into accusations.
I noticed a pattern: removing sourced parts connected to Ukraine and parts that present journalist in question as objective. For example: removing parts about her being critical towards Putin etc, award from Belarus opposition for her article on belarus dictatorship...

I also sense WP:COI. Are you affiliated with Myrotvorets? Andrea Rocchelli, an Italian journalist murdered by the Ukrainian army in 2014 during the Donbas war, has been filed on the site. In Rocchelli's file, on whose photo the Myrotvorets Center has applied the red writing superimposed "Liquidated", there is a note stating that the photojournalist was "cooperating with pro-Russian terrorist organizations" and that he had violated the border of state of Ukraine to enter the territory occupied by "Russian terrorist gangs".
In 2018, Svetlana Alexievich, Nobel Prize in Literature, received threats from local nationalists and had to cancel a meeting with readers in the Green Theater of the Ukrainian city of Odessa when her name was added to a list of "enemies of Ukraine" by the Myrotvorets for "propagating interethnic discord and manipulating information important for society". Irrevocabile tempus (talk) 18:58, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In your zeal to show the subject of this article as pro-Kremlin you are using unsorced accusations and reinforcing factual errors, contrary to wikipedia own material:
Alexander Kofman was never self-proclaimed head of DPR, but the first foreign minister (EDIT FROM IP TO ADD: THAT YOU RECOGNISE HIM AS A MINISTER OF A UKRAINIAN REGION UNRECOGNISED BY THE REST OF THE WORLD IS PART OF THE PROBLEM): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alexander_Kofman.png

However, accusations are accusations, and they certainly aren't helping here. This should be dropped. Firestar464 (talk) 00:25, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure the IP is not coming directly from the Kremlin? I agree about dropping accusations and sincerely hope you will finally stop inserting pro-Kremlin wherever and whenever it suits you. I hope you'll also stop using poorly disguised threats.I don't mind being dropped from editing and I don't mind one of my wiki articles being deleted, but I sincerely hope you are not planning to publish my address on Myrotvorec site?

Seems to be an abstract branding that CNN has thrown around for various items, none of which are notable on their own. Sources already in the article barely mention it at all. Prod contested Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:10, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep so far; if not, Merge to History of CNN (1980–2003). To clarify some things: The subject isn't the NewsStand name itself — the recent reuse of the name for an airport shop, and the removal of the other names from the lede, makes it confusing. The actual subject of the article is single mandated project — a forced corporate synergy combination of Time Inc.'s various magazines and Warner's CNN — that was mostly rejected repeatedly by the audience, and finally killed off in 2001. There was a CNN & Time, a CNN & Fortune, and a CNN & Entertainment Weekly. (I should mention that I created the article in 2007 and I don't know why I only used one source, which only covers the "Valley of Death" debacle, not the overall project, which starts to look like I was engaging in WP:OR; I must not have been that experienced at that point.) This already seemed at the time (and still seems to me now) to be a major and expensive failure for CNN, like a years-long CNN+. I'm saying "weak keep" because I'm pretty sure sources on this, and the corporate insistence on rebranding it and pushing it after repeated failures, can be found with the right search terms. Maybe there would be coverage either by CNN's own media reporters (such as [35]) or Columbia Journalism Review? Some right off the bat that I found tonight that at least hint at the problems:

  • 1998 (turn JavaScript off to see the text): Cauley, Leslie; Reilly, Patrick M. "CNN and Time Magazine Are Facing An Extremely Bumpy Road to Synergy". The Wall Street Journal (English ed.). The magazines and CNN continue to work together, but recent projects and collaborations don't seem as ambitious.
  • 1998: American Journalism Review published 5 articles in its September 1998 issue, mostly about the "Valley of Death" debacle, but a couple of the articles touch on the "synergy" thing as a factor:
    • Callahan, Christopher (September 1998). "An Embarrassing Time". American Journalism Review. Archived from the original on 2015-02-17. Time and CNN had launched an earlier version of their ``journalistic experiment" in March 1997, called ``Impact: CNN and Time on Special Assignment." Time reporters and editors produced ``Impact" segments throughout the show's 15 months on air. But ``NewsStand" premiered in June with a new twist on Time Warner's foray into the media synergy game: lengthy CNN-reported stories published in Time.
    • Paterno, Susan (September 1998). "An Ill Tailwind". American Journalism Review. Archived from the original on 2017-02-27. As CNN's new president, Kaplan promoted synergy, the latest profit-enhancing trend in an increasingly competitive media market. Synergy meant Kaplan could cross-promote Time Warner's products by launching TV newsmagazines based on collaborative work between CNN and the company's print magazines. One newsmagazine would be ``NewsStand: CNN & Time," which would replace the existing newsmagazine, ``Impact," a show Kaplan thought ``uneven."
  • 1999, and maybe more towards TPB's disposition than mine: Pierce, Scott D. (1999-04-30). "Olsen twins' appeal wanes; ABC is nearly certain to give their sitcom the ax". Deseret News. Retrieved 2022-05-10. The "NewsStand" franchise -- which includes "CNN & Time" on Sundays and Mondays; "CNN & Fortune" on Wednesdays; and "CNN & Entertainment Weekly" on Thursdays ... has failed to attract many viewers ... . About the only time they've even entered the national consciousness was that infamous report -- later retracted -- about how Americans allegedly used nerve gas in Vietnam.
  • 2000, during a similar AOL Time Warner merger: Kuczynski, Alex (May 15, 2000). "'Super-Editor' Spot May Be Created At Post-Merger AOL-Time Warner". The New York Times. p. C-1. Time Warner has never been perceived as particularly well integrated by the business community. And Mr. Levin, the Time Inc. executives said, has not been excessively pleased with the level of synergy within his own company, particularly between Time Inc. and CNN.

Originally airing four nights a week, installments were introduced from trendy, high-tech newsstands in various cities. CNN Newsstand: Time focused on hard news stories similar to those featured in Time; CNN Newsstand: Entertainment Weekly covered the hype-filled world of entertainment; and CNN Newsstand: Fortune dealt with the world of business and finance. All of them adopted the tabloid tone so popular on TV newsmagazines in the '90s (Millionaire NBA Deadbeat DADS!" "Spin Doctors at Work!" "Luxury CEO Jets!"). The tendency toward sensationalism got the series into trouble during its first week, as CNN Newsstand: Time aired a story (also published in Time) alleging that the U.S. military had used nerve gas on its own troops behind enemy lines in Vietnam in "Operation Tailwind." When serious doubt was cast on the story, three producers resigned or were fired, correspondent Peter Arnett was suspended (and eventually left the network), and mighty Time-Warner apologized to all concerned. Interspersed with the regular Newsstand telecasts were People magazine celebrity biographies, called People Profiles and billed as "a special presentation of CNN Newsstand."

      The article is in a "Cable TV reviews" section of the magazine. The review notes, "The news standards for CNN's "NewsStands" seem to fluctuate, the Tailwind episode aside (or perhaps not aside, if you want to find about it). In the network's Thursday night compact with Time Warner corporate symbiont Entertainment Weekly, the fluctuations can be wild. One piece is a bright, one-over-easy look at Imagine, the greatly successful boutique production house run by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. But interviewer/co-anchor Willow Bay, while pleasant enough, asks little of substance outside of, gee, you really get along together. They agree that they do."

      The article is in a "Cable TV reviews" section of the magazine. The review notes, "As our print- and tele-magazines love to troll the same celebrity pool, "NewsStand" and its symbiotic sister print weekly People have come up with a 10-Tuesday series of "People Profiles." It begins with an "in-depth profile" of Harrison Ford. It's a comfy hour of his life and times (from exec producer Susan Lester, senior producer Kathy Sulkes and producer Vicki Sufian), even elevated from the usual People drool like its cover of Ford as "The Sexiest Man Alive." ... For these hours, "NewsStand" has picked 10 of its 25 personalities from its "Legends" spread in People's recent 25th anniversary issue. It doesn't say why the other 15 were determined as also-rans."

      The article notes: "CNN is expected to announce this weekend that it will drop its high-profile newsmagazine series based on Time Inc. titles and fold its stories into a new 10p.m. newscast that will carry the "CNN NewsStand" name. ... Although the original "CNN NewsStand" brought the production values of broadcast network news division programs to CNN, it never caught on with viewers, averaging 300,000-400,000 homes on weeknights at 8 p.m. Several veteran news producers said the primetime schedule was already saturated with newsmagazines and CNN was simply too late to the party."

      The article notes: "CNN Newsstand, the new prime-time cable series, opened on a controversial note last week with allegations that the United States used nerve gas against American defectors during the Vietnam War. The network's chief military analyst, Maj. Gen. Perry Smith, retired, resigned in protest (sleazy journalism he called it) but the report prompted Defense Secretary William S. Cohen to order a fresh inquiry. CNN Newsstand is the overall title for three hourlong weekly collaborations between the cable network and magazines in the Time-Warner empire. On Sundays, Time magazine, which carried the nerve-gas charges, is the partner from print; on Wednesdays, it's Fortune magazine and the beat is business; on Thursdays, it's Entertainment Weekly, and the beat is show business."

      The article notes: "The decision to terminate Mr. Arnett's contract ends the career at CNN of one of the best-known of television correspondents. The move comes nine months after Mr. Arnett played a prominent role in what became an embarrassing debacle for the network, when a much-publicized investigative report for the inaugural edition of CNN's prime-time news magazine CNN Newsstand, blew up in the network's face. The report, entitled Tailwind, charged that a United States military operation in the Vietnam War included the use of the lethal nerve gas sarin. ... In the wake of the retraction, CNN dismissed both producers who put the report together, Jack Smith and April Oliver. Pam Hill, the senior executive producer in charge of Newsstand, resigned."

    You missed the second sentence of WP:SPORTCRIT: Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article. A single source is enough to prevent a PROD, but not enough to keep an article at WP:AFD if no additional sources can be found. I'm also not convinced the article you provided is WP:SIGCOV; it only has three paragraphs of independent coverage, and those paragraphs include very little information beyond basic statistics.

Non-notable video game, currently relying on a single reliable source. While somewhat in-depth, the MCV article reads like a press release / interview, and is bylined to simply "Staff" rather than an author. Searching for other sources mostly just finds name drops of the sort as "IO's new game uses it's Glacier engine", with no significant in-depth coverage of the engine on it's own.

    I put this page together for Martin Springett and would like to revise it so that it won’t be deleted. I can certainly write about him as an illustrator as suggested. In terms of his music, his recent work is being published by Music Revolution Records https://mrrmusic.com/project/the-gardening-club/.

Tfindlay44 There is a considerable amount of biographical information that is entirely unreferenced. I am guessing that you have personal knowledge of this info, rather than that you found this all out in reliable sources. That albums were released is really the least of the task ahead, especially if what you wish to cite is the music company itself. Every fact in the article must come from a reliable, third-party source. I would say that your first step is to identify such sources and add them to the article. That is more important than the wording, which can easily be fixed. Note that any un-referenced information can legitimately be deleted by other editors, so it isn't enough to reference a few bits - it has to be all referenced.

The therapy is in clinical trial and that means its an instance of WP:OR. This also gets confirmed as there are only primary sources and academic research papers that cites the therapy and absolutely no secondary references. Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOR. Cirton (talk) 20:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm the initial author of the original article. The assumption that a therapy is in clinical trial and that means its an instance of WP:OR is absolutely, manifestly false. Plenty of drugs that are in clinical trials are written about and discussed extensively. There's no WP:OR involved. It was covered in two of the most reputable journals in science, Blood and Nature. Everything in the wikipedia article derives from those secondary sources, which means it's not WP:OR. I would love to know what in the article is not present in a cited source. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 23:33, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Whenever a drug is in clinical trial, it only means that the drug is a product of a research which is not complete yet and its effectiveness is yet to be judged based on informed, calculated trials. This intrinsically means that any drug in clinical trial is a product of original research and such being the case, its pretty understandable that the drug will have almost no secondary sources. But the drug must pass the clinical trial in order to be perceived as notable. Trivial mentions of the drug in some science magazine article can only be cited to prove that the drug exists, not that the drug is notable. Also, reports of the clinical trial is primary source by definition, so your improvements in terms of adding these unfortunately didn't lead to any better as of now. Cirton (talk) 01:02, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On wiki, OR = a Wikipedia editor made up the contents all by himself. When a reliable source does the original research, then it is not a violation of the Wikipedia:No original research policy. See the definition at the start of the policy: "The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist." When the information comes from reliable sources, it is not a violation of OR. I realize that this is confusing; we should probably consider renaming the policy to something like WP:No original research by Wikipedia editors. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

      "Current state and next-generation CAR-T cells in multiple myeloma" is a review article, which is definitely a secondary source.

  • The rationale for nomination is completely flawed. Being in clinical trial is not Original Research. Academic research papers are not necessarily WP:PRIMARY. Nevertheless, let's evaluate the article the sources in it, and other sources that WP:NEXIST. The article in Nature ([38]) is certainly not WP:PRIMARY, nor WP:OR. It is WP:SIGCOV. This [39] in cancernetwork is certainly neither WP:PRIMARY, nor WP:OR. It is WP:SIGCOV. Here's an article in Fortune [40], that's more independent in-depth coverage from an independent source that takes a financial perspective rather than a medical/scientific point of view. These are enough to establish notability under the general notability guideline; there are more good sources in the article. So, Keep. Jacona (talk) 00:37, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Clinical trials are primary sources. See WP:IDPRIMARY. You need to identify reviews or other reports that are not primary to establish notability. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 03:40, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, clinical trials are primary sources, but no "being in clinical trials" does not make independent reports on those clinical trials primary. Jacona (talk) 13:07, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree. I was being pedantic because this nomination started with a confused back-and-forth discussion that messed up the distinction between primary sources, original research, and the need for secondary sources for notability. And strewn in was the incorrect idea that being in clinical trials guaranteed notability. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:52, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • climate interestingly makes no mention of climatic factors, and this is clearly an omission in Wikipedia. However most sources do not agree on this list, some sources do not even agree on the number or divisions amongst factors, and no sources that I found agreed to the extent of six factors with these particular spellings in this order yielding this initialism at hand. It's not a widespread or accepted terminology, and didn't turn up in any of the books on physical geography, from the 19th to the 21st century, that I just read to find out what they gave as climatic factors. Yes, this highlights a basic omission in our climate article. But it does not actually fix it, and it isn't something that is generally agreed-upon in its own right.

Résumé-like WP:BLP of a historian and writer, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR. The notability claim here is essentially that he exists as a person who has written stuff and been appointed to boards and committees, none of which is an automatic notability freebie in the absence of a WP:GNG-worthy volume of reliable source coverage in media about that work -- but literally across the board, every single footnote here is to content self-published by organizations he's been directly affiliated with, which are not notability-building sources.
And even on a ProQuest search for older sourcing that might not have googled, I found stuff written by him (which does not help to establish notability), and I found stuff which namechecked his existence as a provider of soundbite in articles about governors-general or Order of Canada recipients (which does not help to establish notability) -- but in terms of the type of coverage that does help to establish notability, namely coverage in which he is the subject that other people are writing or talking about, I found virtually nothing but a couple of stray hits in his own hometown media, which is not enough.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced considerably better than this. Bearcat (talk) 00:49, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep They don't give you that many fellowships without something going on with your life. He's mentioned here in a discussion about his books:[41] and [42], he's discussed in this journal article here [43] and about 3 or 4 other journal discussions of his "hisorical interpretation" of things, his biography here: [44] and he was awarded the Order of Nova Scotia here: [45]. Oaktree b (talk) 15:10, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You've misinterpreted most of those sources.
He's the author of both of the books you linked, not a subject of discussion in books by other people, so they aren't support for his notability — you don't make a writer notable by sourcing his books to themselves as proof that they exist, you make a writer notable by sourcing his books to third party critical analysis of the books by other people and/or independent verification that he won or was nominated for major literary awards for them.
The "biography" is a staff profile on the self-published website of an organization he's directly affiliated with, and thus isn't support for his notability as it isn't independent coverage.
And he wasn't awarded the Order of Nova Scotia, he was a staffer in the administrative office of the Order of Nova Scotia, so that's also a staff directory rather than a notability-assisting source.
The journal article is fine, but one of those isn't enough to pass WP:GNG all by itself if all of the other sourcing is still primary — a person needs a lot more than just one piece of media coverage to get over the bar. Bearcat (talk) 21:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
His work is also discussed here:https://muse.jhu.edu/article/806484/summary, here: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/539895, here in a medical journal: https://www.cmaj.ca/content/179/10/1041.short, here: https://www.jstor.org/stable/23594711, "expert advisor" to the government here: https://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?id=GALE%7CA351947375&sid=googleScholar&v=2.1&it=r&linkaccess=abs&issn=00249262&p=AONE&sw=w&userGroupName=anon%7Ebef22580. with many more. He's cited here in a French article: [46]. The medical journal in particular is a neutral review of one of his works on the St. John's Ambulance corps. He's more than notable. Oaktree b (talk) 23:23, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Being cited as a provider of soundbite in pieces where he is not himself the subject of the piece does not aid in establishing notability either, so most of those still don't cut it. Bearcat (talk) 01:42, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This https://www.proquest.com/openview/081998d92bb83ebacdcc1fb4c19a550c/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=48438 discusses his work for a good 2-3 paragraphs and the CMAJ is a review of his book, those and the other "soundbites" as you call them add up to notability, do they not? For sure he's passed WP:AUTHOR criteria 3b with at least 2 critical reviews (the CMAJ and the proquest one I just showed for at least 3 paragraphs, the free view won't let me see more), and criteria 4 with more than enough recognition based on his body of work, with the ample amount of honorifics after his name as proof. Oaktree b (talk) 03:13, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Notability can only be established by sources in which he's the subject being discussed by other people, and never by sources in which he's a speaker discussing other things. And even for the few sources you've profferred that do meet that standard, it takes more than just two of those to pass it. Bearcat (talk) 14:22, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This person has one book that is held in more than 700 Worldcat libraries. Others are in the 2-digits. Other than that, based on Google Scholar he falls short of NPROF even though at least one book comes out of a university press. I don't think he will meet NAUTH because he writes on very narrow academic topics. I find articles BY him in Ebscohost, and the occasional book review (e.g. Treble, P 2011, ‘Canadian Symbols of Authority: Maces, Chains and Rods of Office’, Maclean’s, vol. 124, no. 36, p. 74). I think the best way to honor this person would be to use his works as references in articles about his topics, generally the history of Canada and the whole royal history. Note, also, that although he received various "Jubilee" medals, the one I looked up was given to 46,000 people.
