  • Keep – Meets NCORP. The quality of the article has declined since I created it but this company is notable. This company is now even WP:LISTED and "sufficient independent sources almost always exist for such companies". This is certainly the case here because this company was notable even before it had its current name.[1][2][3] --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:04, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no independent coverage of this rather short-lived (2003-2006) technical conference, other than this short article from the now-defunct DesktopLinux.com, which seems to have been run by eWeek.

Small party relevant exclusively in the history of the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party, from which it split and which it subsequently re-joined. The page probably also contains incorrect information: I have not found in any source that Integral Autonomy has merged into the party. Furthermore, this party has never autonomously participated in any election, and the sources on it are almost totally non-existent. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 20:33, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The subject was a party in its own right. In the 2003 joint list between the Trentino Autonomists and the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party, the former played a big role. It is not fair to consider this party just as a faction. At some point, the South Tyrolean People's Party chose the Trentino Autonomists as their main ally in Trentino. Also there is no doubt that Casagranda's Integral Autonomy and Muraro's regional section of Italian Renewal were merged into the party (see [10]). It may be difficult to find sources on the web, but the party clearly existed and deserves an article of its own. We should avoid recentism and have historical perspective. This said, if regrettably there is no consensus on keeping the article, I hope we can at least merge it into Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party or, more correctly, into Integral Autonomy (1996). --Checco (talk) 16:14, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Checco: the source you linked (the party's website) doesn't even mention Integral Autonomy (a party that wasn't founded in 1996 and that had a different path, but this is another matter). This party has little more than existed, the only acceptable solution would be a merger with Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 17:16, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge with Popular Autonomy Braganza (talk) 05:35, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @Checco and Braganza: I have to partially correct some of my statements above: it seems that the party has participated in some minor municipal elections. It is not clear how the Regional Autonomist Federation (previously: Integral Autonomy) collaborated with Trentino Autonomists: it seems that Trentino Autonomists was represented in two joint groups: one with Italian Renewal (which later became "Trentino Autonomists - Genziane"), the other with the Regional Autonomist Federation (which later became Popular Autonomy) ([11]). However, I confirm that the most suitable merger would be with the Trentino Tyrolean Autonomist Party: its split and subsequent rapprochement with the PATT (described in the PATT website itself [12]) make in my view the two topics joinable.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 06:37, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Given that he was Indian the chances are that we're not going to find written sources on the internet. No doubt they exist, but we're just not going to be able to find them and with only four appearances it's not as if there's a strong case for a keep based on IAR here. So, this is a really, really obvious redirect with a partial merge per WP:ATD-M (note to close: policy, not a guideline). The target would be List of Kerala cricketers - he played 3 of his 4 first-class matches for Kerala and Travancore-Cochin only played a total of 7 f-c matches in total, so on balance this makes most sense. The merge will be a short note added to the list article to summarise his life with references from Wisden and CricketArchive I imagine. Redirection is a long established consensus decision in cases such as these going back years.
I've added him to the list. I note that his brother's article was boldly redirected to the list some time ago. This is a good thing in the circumstances - by redirecting we retain the attribution, sources and history should those elusive sources emerge.

The result was no consensus. I am sure that this closure will not be satisfying to the participants but, reading through this discussion, there seems to be more words of accusations about editors and the author of one source used than an evaluation of the state of the articles. There is not even a consensus about whether or not the subjects of these articles are hoaxes or not.

But this is definitely not using "No consensus" in lieu of a "Keep" decision. I think you'd have a more productive and focused discussion if there was a return to AFD with these articles unbundled so participants could spend time assessing the notability of each individual event instead of discussing contributors or speculating on their motivations and points-of-view. I think it would also be helpful if you posted announcements of future AFD discussions on related WikiProjects, like Military History, on the next go-round. We need more subject matter experts here.

Battle of Ash-Shihr[edit]

Battle of Ash-Shihr (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)

I hereby request the deletion of Battle of Ash-Shihr, and I have decided to bundle in the same request the pages

because they were all created by the same user and pertain to the same topic.

The articles proposed to be deleted, are either completely bogus in the case of the first three or fail the notability test in the case of the latter two to warrant pages of their own.

The first three never actually happened despite citing sources which are mostly in Turkish anyway. In the case of the first, the Portuguese never attacked Shihr in 1520, but the Portuguese commander Manuel de Vasconcelos did attack the city in 1532, defeating the Ottoman forces on the occasion. In the case of the second, the Portuguese governor of India never attacked Jeddah in 1520, nor did any Portuguese ever attack it after 1517. In the case of the third, the Portuguese never occupied Kamaran in order to be "completely destroyed and expelt" as implied by the article. The last two articles consist of minor naval actions, that would be more appropriately contained entirely within the page Sefer Reis. Wareno (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Keep per WP:VERIFIABILITY. Hello, firstly I would like to note that the user who nominated these pages for deletion has been disruptively editing and pov pushing on one of the articles he nominated for deletion. He removed sourced content (violation of WP:CRV) and replaced it with sources that have nothing to do with the battle. He removed the sources that support the Ottoman victory and disregarded the fact that the date of the battle in 1531 is supported by three in page references and replaced it with sources that refer to a different event in 1532. This edit is what I am referring to.

The first battle Battle of Ash-Shihr occurred in 1531 this battle is described by historian Yilmaz Oztuna and an attack on Ash-Shihr in 1531 is mentioned by this source. You can find the accessible version here.

As for the second page Siege of Jeddah an attack on Jeddah in the year 1520 is mentioned by the same source as above and as for the other in page reference historian Ekrem Şama states that the Portuguese attack was repelled.

For the third page the Expedition to Kamaran the event is clearly supported by the accessible in page reference by historian Yilmaz Oztuna. Yilmaz Oztuna is a historian and Turkish sources are allowed to be used (see WP:NOENG).

For the fourth page Battle of Kamaran the battle is literally described in detail by historian Giancarlo Casale and is also supported by a source by historian Daniel R. Headrick. Please see pp 67-68 of this source. Historian Giancarlo Casale mentions this as another victory of Sefer Reis against the Portuguese under the command of Christovao Pereira Homem.

As for the last page, again, this event is described in detail by historian Giancarlo Casale. See page 62 here where Giancarlo Casale states that the Portuguese were defeated under their commander Luiz Figueira.

These pages all satisfy WP:VERIFIABILITY, they are clearly not a hoax and are all supported by their in page references which are all WP:RS, this is clearly just an example of WP:JDLI. I’d also like to add that Turkish historians are allowed to be cited on Wikipedia per WP:NOENG, I find it strange that the user questions Turkish historians but not Portuguese historians (see here), especially coming from a user whose edits are mostly related to Portuguese history. Again clearly a case of POV pushing and WP:JDLI. Regards Kabz15 (talk)

  • CommentI passed several of these at NPP. I don’t have time to write at length now but in my view the articles are not hoaxes. There is some doubt as to their notability as individual battles in my mind, but not strong enough to AfD or draftify them. My hope was that the Ottoman and Portugal WikiProjects would develop them. They are supported by sources but looking more closely now I am less sure about how reliable those sources are. Mccapra (talk) 21:20, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically it is odd that the sourcing is so predominantly Turkish, which makes me wonder whether errors by one historian have perhaps been erroneously replicated in later works. I think tagging for factual accuracy is fine but I’m not persuaded that the best thing to do here is delete. Mccapra (talk) 21:23, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mccapra: I similarly saw some of these at NPP, and reviewed them. I am also somewhat concerned about the reliability, especially given how some of the sources (See below) are obviously biased. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 10:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Mccapra: have you by chance looked, and I do mean actually looked, into the links I provided, since you say you are "unsure"? I'm confident it will help your case. You hoped the Portugal WikiProject would help develop them, but see how the creator responded when I tried to. Make no mistake however, because as far as the first three pages are concerned, there's no room for "in my view" here, the events they describe are entirely ficticious, no more, no less. The latter two are clearly a case of one user trying to pass very small things as very big things, that would be more conveniently contained into one single page elsewhere as recommended, however the creator insists on their verifyability and dumping random sources onto them when its their notability that's in dispute.Wareno (talk) 00:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm only surprised to see that Turkish historians are this inclined to make up battles. Let's see what other authors say:
For Battle of Ash-Shihr no such thing happened. As told to the user, it is not in accordance to any evidence, the Portuguese never attacked the city in 1531, the Portuguese commander Manuel de Vasconcelos only attacked it once in 1532 and the Ottomans were defeated, as can be read here for example, but the user has aggressively rejected any input.
For Siege of Jeddah (1520), the Portuguese commander Diogo Lopes de Sequeira sailed a fleet into the Red Sea in 1520 but never even reached Jeddah as can be fully read here. The British scholar R. B. Serjeant wrote in page 171 of his The Portuguese Off the South Arabian Coast: Hadrami Chronicles: "This is the expedition of Diogo Lopes de Sequeira. Gois, gives the composition of the Portuguese fleet as 26 sail, comprising 11 large ships (naos), 2 galleons, 5 galleys, 4 square-rigged ships, 2 brigantines, and 2 caravels. (Some of the aforegoing are only dictionary translations.) The ‘very large galliot’ seems to be what Barros, ill. iii. 10, calls um bargantim per a recados (a brigantine for provisions and equipment). They did not land at al-'Ârah, but the San Antonio struck a reef there (Castanheda, v. 23, and F. Alvarez, Verdadeira Informaçâo . . . (Lisboa, 1889), p. 5). Presents intended for the Emperor of Abyssinia were lost with this vessel, which caused the envoys trouble and embarrassment when they reached the Abyssinian court. De Sequeira had been ordered to sail to Jeddah, but abandoned the attempt on account of contrary winds, and the Portuguese then stood across to Massawa. After leaving Massawa they burnt what there was to be found on Dahlak".
For Expedition to Kamaran, it's a myth that the Portuguese ever occupied Kamaran Island. Turkish sources fail to mention the names of any Portuguese commanders, casualties, or their strenght which obviously isn't possible. All this user does is push sources in Turkish which fall very short of WP:RELIABILITY and WP:NPOV.
As for the last two pages, I'll leave the contributors to decide if they are noteworthy enough to keep. The user seems to think I challenge their veracity, which I don't, I only challenge the veracity of the first three.
I also wonder if this user isn't a sockpuppet of this user due to their very similar editing patterns. Wareno (talk) 21:55, 30 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I’ve already mentioned that for the siege of Jeddah in 1520 other than the source from a Turkish historian which is admissible per WP:NOENG this source which is entirely focused on the failed Portuguese dominions in the Red Sea states that the Portuguese made an attempt to attack Jeddah that year in 1520 “attempt to attack Jeddah”. This same source states that an attack was made on Ash-Shihr in 1531 which is also supported by a source by a Turkish historian which again is admissible. I’ve already posted the link in my previous comment where you can access the pdf. Claiming that the Kamaran expedition is a myth is a WP:FRINGETHEORY, the page is supported by a source from Turkish historian Yilmaz Oztuna. As for claiming Turkish historians are making up battles that just sounds absurd, you are obviously not even checking the sources I’m providing you that support the dates of the events since you keep on repeating the same thing over and over again about these battles not happening despite already being given valid evidence to support the attack in 1531 and the attack in 1520. Also the source that I’ve provided that support these dates is very relevant and entirely focused on the failed Portuguese dominions in the Red Sea. As for accusing me of being a sockpuppet of another user your personal attack had been noted. Regards Kabz15 (talk)
  • Comment Taken a look at the totality of the page creations from them (can be seen here), of the 96 articles they have made ~90 of them are related to battles, of which about half or two-thirds of these are between Muslim and Christian nations/peoples; notably, not a single time in his written articles do I see the Christians win one of these battles. Cannot speak to if this is a failing of the English Wikipedia that we ignored these battles before, or a sign of something else, necessarily. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 09:55, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Source Comment: Yilmaz Oztuna, cited extensively by the user's articles and defended above, appears to have helped write a book (or at least a chapter thereof, here) in which the Armenian genocide is denied. Going to go out on a limb and assume they are probably biased on other matters involving Turkey and its Ottoman forefathers... -- Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 10:08, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment: To answer your question I am a user who is interested in Islamic military history and I enjoy contributing to Wikipedia by expanding this topic. I have created battles against Christian and Muslim nations, what I contribute to is what I am interested in and if I don’t create battles in which Christian nations have won then that means that it is not what I am interested in researching which is completely fine. I’d appreciate it if we stay on topic and address the verifiability of these articles. I’d like to say that I’ve already made a very reasonable explanation. The pages that cite Turkish historians are all supported by at least one English source that support the fact that these events took place. The Armenian genocide is a completely different topic to a battle that is supported by sources other than Yilmaz Oztuna, besides that he is a historian and as already mentioned Turkish historians are allowed to be cited on Wikipedia per WP:NOENG. I find it strange to question the usage of Turkish historians when the user who requested the deletion seems to think that Turkish historians should not be used while himself using Portuguese historians who lived in the 16th century, this seems to be very biased on his part. The user also created a similar page, the verifiability of which is highly questionable. Again I’d appreciate if we could stay on topic here and focus on the verifiability of these articles which is undisputedly supported by in page references, these articles are clearly not hoaxes as the user claims. I think we should also address the baseless arguments of the user who claims that these events are hoaxes despite the fact that every page is supported by at least more than one source. I have addressed his claims that no attack happened at Ash Shihr in 1531 or Jeddah at 1520 by providing an extremely relevant source which is solely focused on the failed Portuguese dominions in the Red Sea. Despite providing this proof the user just seems to ignore it and repeat the same argument that I’ve already addressed. Thanks Kabz15 (talk)
  • If theese are indeed based on a source that denies the Armenian genocide, then obviously Delete. Maybe get some admins to look at the involved users? Handmeanotherbagofthemchips (talk) 15:17, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello thanks for participating in this discussion. These pages are not based on a source that denies the Armenian genocide, the sources in question by Yilmaz Oztuna do not deny the Armenian genocide and there are other sources cited on these pages that are not published by him. Moreover a deletion discussion is about the article itself, we should address the articles and users’ arguments not the users themselves per WP:ATTP. Thanks Kabz15 (talk)
  • Delete per nominator and after a deep research on the author that Iazyges was suspected of being an Armenian genocide denier, I found out that Yılmaz Öztuna is definitly not reliable (I will open a request in WP:RSN to see if other editors are agreeing with me). The Turkish historian Dogan Gurpinar (an actual historian) said about Yılmaz in his paper Double Discourses and Romantic Nationalismp:59 that "..Yilmaz Öztuna, an amateur historian with nationalist and right/center-right dispositions." and in the notes he wrote that Öztuna was debunked by the historian Ali Birinci in his work Müverrih-i Mader-zadın Fülannamesi -Suratrat (talk) 18:53, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello Suratrat, Yılmaz Öztuna’s work is not the only cited reference on these pages, if you’d like to discuss removing this historians work from these pages, well then that sounds reasonable, however deleting an entire page based on a single historian who is only one out of other cited sources on these pages does not sound like a good idea. There are still other reliable sources that support these events taking place even if Yılmaz Öztuna’s work is removed. Regards Kabz15 (talk)
  • Comment: Just to update, I’ve added fresh references to most pages in order to avoid the possible problem with Yılmaz Öztuna, there isn’t a single page out of these that rely solely on his work. Regards Kabz15 (talk)

  • comment no opinion on the articles themselves, but a couple of delete arguments are invalid. If one source is wrong and biased in some subject it does not follow that citing them is a reason to delete an article on another subject. That most sources are Turkish and in Turkish language should not be detrimental, the subject is related to Turkish history, it is normal to have mostly Turkish sources. We're not deleting e.g. 2022 Los Angeles Chargers season just because all sources are from the USA, are we? - Nabla (talk) 01:09, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
to be clear my concern about all the sources I could find being Turkish is that these battles took place between the Ottomans and Portugal, so you would expect, at least, some Portuguese sources. However, as far as I can see, there aren’t any. Also the wars between the Ottomans and the Portuguese are very well documented indeed, and covered in many general histories of the period. That being the case, the battles ought to be mentioned in English, French and other sources, e.g the Cambridge History of Islam or any of these books, but they’re not. So my conclusion is either a. they happened but were so minor no serious History of the period mentions them, hence not notable, or b. They were invented or misdescribed by one Turkish author (Öztuna?) and then subsequent Turkish authors, relying on his account, reproduced his mistake in their own books. If literally no historians at all writing about this topic have covered these alleged events, except Öztuna and a couple of other Turkish writers, then I don’t think we have a solid enough basis for including them (i.e. a couple of weeks in from my earlier comments above I’m leaning more strongly towards deletion). Mccapra (talk) 04:43, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Hello Mccapra, just noting that Öztuna did not comment on the event and his work is not relied on by the cited historian on the Siege of Jeddah (1520) page. Moreover, regarding your comment on Portuguese historians, Casale who is cited on Battle of Kamaran and Battle of Bab al-Mandab relies on Portuguese works. Also I’ve checked the dates of the Turkish sources that support an Ottoman victory on the Battle of Ash-Shihr page and two of them predate Öztuna’s work. Regards Kabz15 (talk) 08:23, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Their reason for deletion seems to be a discrimination because they say that "sources which are mostly in Turkish anyway".

This seems to just be a needless retelling of Kansas history with a focus on schoolhouses. There is no reason given why Kansas is more notable than any other location to justify an article, as the listed schoolhouses are largely non-notable by Wikipedia standards. The title of the article also implies that "Kansas one room school" is a specific type of school that Kansas pioneered, which it is not. InvisibleUp (talk) 17:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Military patrol at the 1948 Winter Olympics as an alternative to deletion. A billion small hits in various newspaper sports sections around late 1940s and early 1950s (Unable to link; too recent to be publicly accessible), but these are largely passing mentions and run-of-the-mill sports event coverage. Think "Meriläinen came third" and maybe a short quote. The fi.wp article fi:Mikko Meriläinen has two book sources, of which I suspect Urheilumme Kasvot osa 1 (transl.Faces of our sport, part 1), where Meriläinen is supposedly discussed on page 827, to be a rather indiscriminate list of every Finnish sports person ever. I suspect the other (Urheilukunniamme puolustajat – Suomen olympiaedustajat 1906–2000) is the same but for Olympians. I have access to neither, so I'd be happy to change my !vote if someone has access to those sources and can vouch for their depth of coverage.

I am afraid most of Category:Lucky Luke albums don't meet WP:NBOOK/WP:GNG and should be redirected to a list or such. I am listing this one here, as a test case, and also, b/c I think this one SHOULD be notable (it's, errr, politically incorrect, just read the plot...). Unfortunately, my BEFORE for English and French names does not suggest anyone has discussed this album in reliable sources. There's a chance I missed something from French-language websites, my French is poor. Fr wiki article is of little help. In either case, let's discuss. Please note that if this ends up with 'redirect' or such I intend to be bold and redirect many of Lucky Luke albums to the same location (probably Lucky_Luke#Collected_editions, which I suggest as a redirect target, in spirit of WP:PRESERVE).

  • Weak keep or some merge (not just a redirect), and please don't use the result of this one as a blanket precedent as they have varying degrees of notability. this one, together with anumber of others, gets a short paragraph here, and a mention here (in an article which establishes notability for another Lucky Luke album, Chasseur de primes). This is behind a paywall, so I can't see what is said in it (passing mention or more?). This book references the comic album, and here it's used for the motto of another book. This 2020 book references an anti-tabac dialogue in the comic. And then there are the cases where I can't access the source to judge ho long or short the mention is, like here or here (In English, by a Dutch-language author).

    PS. I can't say I am impressed by the sources found. The first one, the only one you say has a confirmed paragraph-lenght content, is a plot summary of various albums, and the paragraph in question is 2-3 sentences per book. Oh, and per GNG, we need multiple examples of SIGCOV-meeting coverage, so no, Le Figaro's article does not estabilish a notability for the other album (although it's halfway here - one more source like that and that album will be borderline notable, as two sources would meet the GNG requirement for "multiple" sources). Anyway, the other sources cited seem to fail WP:SIGCOV (or are paywalled and we haven't confirmed whehter they do or don't). Unless we can find lenghtier coverage, a redirect (preserving history so that this can be easily restored if one day someone does find 2+ sources meeting SIGCOV) is the best solution here. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:13, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As for the "political correctness" of the comic, it is not only rather irrelevant for this discussion, but the comic is a parody of a John Ford western and is a lot more PC and open-minded (and anti-militaristic) than most US western movies.
  • Redirect per nom, as the article makes no claim to notability. Nothing to merge, as the content is barely more than plot summary.

so this article is suffering from a lot of things, the obvious extreme promotion, "fan cruft" (if you can call paid editors fans) and more importantly a lack of reliable sourcing.


I did some digging yesterday and found that a lot of the content is greatly exaggerated - particularly his involvement, or the significance of his involvement with other notable acts and the fact that the majority of the sources are either unreliable, PR or just simply not coverage. (As an example of the exaggerations, the "praise by vice" is greatly misrepresented - Noisey by Vice, in this case is a column written by a contributor. And I can provide several more examples like this.

If we remove the poorly/unsourced claims, we're not left with much - he's made a lot of music, but very little of it has received any significant in depth coverage to merit a standalone article.

This article is part of a very large WP:WALLEDGARDEN both with respect to the articles themselves and the circular sourcing. PICKLEDICAE🥒 12:25, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am requesting the user Praxidicae be blocked from any further action against the Jon Lindsay page. This person has vandalized the pages of Benji Hughes and American Aquarium, in addition to Jon Lindsay. Jon Lindsay was a member of Benji Hughes for years, and has significant collaborations with American Aquarium across both the Jon Lindsay and NC Music Love Army catalogs.
Look at the Benji Hughes page. After deleting sourced material on Jon Lindsay’s page demonstrating his documented involvement in Benji Hughes, Praxidicae says that Lindsay is not mentioned in the few sources on this page. However, none of the backing band members are, and only Lindsay was deleted, as this user Praxidicae is clearly intentionally seeking to erase all instances of Lindsay from the wiki platform as a personal attack. Lindsay’s involvement in Benji Hughes is notable and well documented.
Here are sources:
  • [20]
  • Lindsay clearly visible in performance (many videos), named as band member
  • [21]
  • It is clearly an attack to deny Lindsay’s valid coverage by significant publications There are many standalone 3rd party features on Lindsay such as this in Pop Matters: [22]
  • Jon Lindsay has been featured on the cover of magazines, and cover sections/sunday arts sections of daily papers like the Charlotte Observer [23]
  • [24]
He has music in film and television shows. This is preposterous.
Lindsay has made multiple recordings involving American Aquarium and appeared with them on stage and in the studio countless times. There were sources to support this on the AA page, that were called “nonsense” and an attempt at a walled garden. How is it “nonsense” to cite discography contributions that are significant, that followers of both pages would want to know about? “Dear Mr. McCrory” and the “Love Army” album were covered internationally and that is easily discoverable. Lindsay was the co-founder of the entire project, which had 14 releases that absolutely were covered a lot. Again, this is a personal attack and should be stopped immediately.
It is clear that this user is seeking to harm Lindsay’s public page for personal reasons that violate the wikipedia community guidelines and this should be reversed immediately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:194:827F:85F0:89AD:E42E:E6D9:927C (talk) 13:18, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • (copied from talk page per edit request) I am currently writing a book that involves both Jon Lindsay and Benji Hughes. Suggesting deletion of this article is really nuts, I use it as a resource. If you don't like the tone, ok fine I guess- but, while Lindsay is not Taylor Swift, he has a very well-covered career and an engaged audience in the music media as well as mainstream (for his political work that's not even being discussed by this person that started all of this deletion suggestion nonsense), and your current discussion is overlooking that there are more than 30 sourced feature articles (not just mentions) and reviews about his solo work that are anything but "PR" or whatever has been said.
    Click on the links, this is significant 3rd party objective coverage, period. Directly about what this artist has made. This is real coverage. Point blank, there are articles here from Vice, Consequence of Sound, Paste Magazine, Magnet Magazine, AOL Spinner, SXSW Official, Time Out NY, The Charlotte Observer, Raleigh News and Observer, Indy Weekly, Pop Matters; he's been on tv personally, his songs are IN tv and film; there are cover stories in magazines, exclusively about Lindsay, yet the person that started this says "can't find major coverage." If the articles already cited at the bottom of this page that directly review and speak to Lindsay's records and tours and projects and production work don't meet guidelines, then deleted 80% of this entire platform. Lindsay has far more legit press than most articles I see on here.
    I'd like to flag and re-share for open discussion review the top 10 feature articles, exclusively about Jon Lindsay and his work, and that already appear on the main Jon Lindsay article, but are just being completely overlooked in this really crazy discussion about deletion. You all are also not discussing any of his press from the NC Music Love Army, which has political and historical significance involving major figures like William Barber, and none of that is even surfacing here. I need to be included on this discussion and I can't believe that the facts are being skirted over so far. Please allow the voices in here of the experts on this subject.
    Also, there's something going on with the person that started all of this in terms of a weird direction to take. This article could easily be edited if needed. Scrapping a quality reference that I use (right now daily) would exactly the opposite of what this platform is supposed to be.
    Thanks,
    YF Terry Ukenation (talk) 23:52, 30 August 2022 (UTC) My request is simply: please include my vote for "keep" this reference article on the deletion discussion page. For the many reaseons I explained. But if nothing else, "Keep". Thank you. Ukenation (talk) 01:02, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article can be cleaned up. There is enough coverage of the artist and his work to satisfy WP:SINGER. While most is local, there is sufficient non-local coverage too. (e.g. Consequence, PopMatters, Vice) -- BriefEdits (talk) 19:49, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep: As somebody who's edited the article heavily these last few days, the quality of the sources is really not there. While the subject's debut album is well covered, none of his other works remotely come close to notability, which fails WP:SINGER. While there are a lot of sources for other aspects of his career, they are almost always passing mentions or underdeveloped sources. Seeing past breadth of sources with shallow coverage or good coverage but either restricted to the debut album or local profiles of the subject, I find it difficult to confidently endorse this article for keep. Changing to weak keep for now awaiting original nominator's source analysis. -- BriefEdits (talk) 00:52, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I concur. I will attempt to clean up the article in the meantime. -- BriefEdits (talk) 18:46, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I have contributed to the article substantially and added a strong amount of quality, standalone, dedicated Lindsay coverage. And I appreciate the other recent inclusions and edits that show the clear and obvious merit of this artist article, and that easily demonstrate that GNG are met. There was already a boatload of great references on here; but it is now 100% completely without question that there are over 50 pieces of direct Lindsay press here that are direct reviews or direct coverage of his records and tours from high quality sources. The fact that the wiki community is standing by letting a wild comment from one person such as "the sources ALL of which are dubious" go unchecked should bother every single person here that cares about the integrity of this platform, like myself, who uses this page as a reference to the very clearly documented coverage on this artist's career and work. Will somebody here that cares about the integrity of this site and not the obvious attack attempt by one person please directly comment on how these direct features and reviews are in any way "dubious, passing mentions, blackhat SEO and outright unreliable" when I sat here this morning and read every single link and can verify--as can anyone with eyes--that these are quality music reviews and news articles? Some real additional oversight is clearly needed in this discussion to curb this insanity. Lastly, let us not forget that this argument against the page was initially begun as "the page is too promotional" saying it shows so much favorable press for Lindsay put up by a "paid PR person." When that argument was not supported by the wiki community, the argument shifted to GNG. The point is, it is super clear to anyone paying attention to this at this point that there's something untoward afoot with the intentions of the original deletion discussion, as it has always been meritless, yet keeps being pushed by this one person- for any reason at this point. The point is to get the article down for Lindsay, guidelines to the wind, therefore I am in support of the comments that something is deeply unsettling and wrong here. Who will address all of this? KEEP THIS PAGE and address the attack. Ukenation (talk) 19:35, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, the sources given don't support keeping it. I'm of mixed opinion otherwise, but have voted !delete. Oaktree b (talk) 15:45, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    At this point it is now a re-written article. And a very good one. Regarding GNG, please refer to the below 18 feature articles about Lindsay that are sourced on the article page. Regardless of any supposed forthcoming source analysis from anyone else, GNG can be settled once and for all right now by reviewing what's already here:
    Consequence, Daytrotter, Paste Magazine, Vice/Noisey, Charlotte Observer, Performer Magazine, Pop Matters, Big Takeover, Indy Weekly, Encore (magazine cover and feature), Shuffle Magazine, Creative Loafing, Blurt, Charleston City Paper, WUNC (NPR), Star News, Charlotte Magazine, Spill Magazine. Since it has been falsely alleged that "all" the articles on the entire page are are "dubious" and "suspect", let's just keep it to this list for easy resolution. I find all of the sourced material (60 links) on the article helpful, but I'm asking others to quickly review JUST the above listed outlets and coverage, as the GNG argument is instantly put to bed once and for all here. Thank you. Ukenation (talk) 16:07, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Please go through the sources I just highlighted and explain how these don't meet GNG. That will be impossible for you to do. Deletion discussion guidelines specifically state that articles can and should be improved if there is a perceived issue. That has been done. This article has been greatly improved, and what's here now must be addressed. According to the guidelines, you *must* say how and why these top examples of specific coverage that I highlighted are somehow not satisfactory. Come on people, if you can't do that specifically, you aren't discussing the facts and you're just "voting" with another agenda. KEEP THIS ARTICLE and DISCUSS THE CONTENT SPECIFICALLY Ukenation (talk) 16:13, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Ukenation: Please have some sense of decorum and wait for the discussion to develop rather than screaming through the internet to get people to change their minds. Let your arguments stand for themselves. You don't need to rehash the same points ad nauseum and rush other editors. And baselessly accusing other editors of having some sort of nefarious agenda is both reductive and frankly immature. -- BriefEdits (talk) 19:19, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    noted. I'm not trying to yell. It's just been bothersome to me that this article was suggested for deletion without the easy edits that could have been made if needed. I will stand down and trust the process. Thank you. Ukenation (talk) 21:09, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I see reasonable articles in the Charlotte Observer and Herald Sun. Other sources appear to be either very local or specialized, but they do support the basic notability. It would be ideal to find a source that is 1) substantial and 2) biographical, but I think he squeaks by Notability. Is this guy Elvis? No. Few are. Lamona (talk) 03:54, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Lindsay easily meets GNG based on the articles highlighted by Ukenation. On top of his solo and production/collaborator coverage, the NC Love Army work is covered extensively in papers of record cited here. Every sentence in this article has a quality source to go with it. This one is clear cut. There are thousands of wiki article pages out here that actually need this discussion, and this is not one of them. -Haley Stimpson — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.107.112.180 (talk) 14:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am concerned that this discussion is being swamped by socks, but it nevertheless remains the case that, if an artist meets WP:MUSIC, the page should remain, even if that artist or the artist's fans or promotional team really, really want there to be an article, and even if the artist shamelessly promotes himself by courting the press.

I am sending an email requesting additional oversight on this discussion at this time. The relisting of the article for deletion here is not only highly unusual, it's also 100% against WP:GD.
This discussion has gone through 2 full rounds/weeks and has reached, at minimum, a "rough consensus" for "keep". Either we have a clear case of a rough consensus for "keep" or you could incorrectly say the debate is still an uncertain tie- but according to WP:GD, even IF it were an uncertain tie at this point after 2 rounds, the article is to be taken out of debate. These are the guidelines. Again, a rough consensus is the desired outcome, and that's exactly what we have here for keep. Ukenation (talk) 16:43, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
From WP:GD "Relisting debates repeatedly in the hope of getting sufficient participation is not recommended, and while having a deletion notice on a page is not harmful, its presence over several weeks can become disheartening for its editors. Therefore, in general, debates should not be relisted more than twice."
But there HAS been plenty of participation AND rough consensus for "Keep" during two debates. Enough of this. Ukenation (talk) 17:14, 12 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. Praxidicae, you mentioned a source analysis, which would be useful to have; I encourage you to ping current non-SPA participants after having done so.

  • Keep -- The article needs extensive surgery to remove the deluge of cruft and reference spam, and the novella's worth of text and claims above is dubious, but Lindsay does pass, fairly clearly, WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC. The Charlotte Observer and Indy Week features are significant coverage in major North Carolina publications, the Popmatters and Consequence of Sound reviews probably count as well since both are fairly major music publications. There is probably more in the gargantuan wall of refs that counts toward WP:SIGCOV but I think these are significant on their own. Gnomingstuff (talk) 21:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This was initially a tough one because the name Will Cook is so common that searches bring up a ton of extraneous information. Another difficulty is that he died in 1964, which means media coverage and reviews of his works mostly pre-date the internet era. However, after doing a good bit of research I discovered this author was actually a big deal in the Western fiction genre during his lifetime and for decades after. There are detailed entries about him in the Encyclopedia of Frontier and Western Fiction and Twentieth-Century Western Writers, encyclopedias released in 1983 and 1992 that cover the Western genre. In addition, his books and stories were turned into a major John Ford film, a couple of other films, and episodes of TV westerns such as Cheyenne, Bronco, and Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre (his IMDb entry is here). And while most media coverage pre-dates the internet, Cook does have reviews in Publisher's Weekly and Booklist. I have added all of these and additional citations to the article, along with adding info from these citations. In light of all this, I believe this subject meets Wikipedia's notability standards.--SouthernNights (talk) 17:35, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of this article? It's unreferenced and has an unclear scope. It's too broad to ever become an article (like Venus in fiction and like). It doesn't list works (like most 'in fiction' articles, like Venus), just other Wikipedia articles. On talk, it was suggested it's a list of lists, but most of the entries on it are NOT lists. There are zillion of astronomical locations mentioned in fiction. This is just as pointless as an attempt to create locations in fiction would be. Template:Astronomical locations in fiction and Category:Fiction about astronomical locations are sufficient for navigational purposes.

  • Delete: Reviewed the discussion on the talk page and agree with the editors. Does not meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of sources, and that includes even some of the articles it's linking to. This is simply too broad to be an article, and even most of the linked articles on this page are in questionable shape for inclusion on Wikipedia. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:21, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think such a page might be useful as a list of lists... but it seems we've been progressively getting rid of the lists it would reference. Jclemens (talk) 17:16, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. I'd completely forgotten that this exists so I was a little confused when I got pinged about it. The current state of the article is not as sprawling as when I questioned it in 2016 but I'm still not sure that it is very useful. I don't think it adds much over Template:Astronomical locations in fiction, which renders it fairly redundant. What would save it would be to make into more of an actual article. Are there any sources discussing why certain locations are favoured in sci-fi which might make that possible? --DanielRigal (talk) 17:39, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
DanielRigal, templates are not seen on 50% or more of Wikipedia searches (mobile does not show templates) so this is never a reason for deleting information. Please look at it without that reasoning, thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, it's still a fine list and navigates readers well, even though it used to be much longer before its entries being chopped down during the last couple of years. The nominator seems unaware that existing templates can not be used as a reason to delete anything (they are not seen on mobile). Remove that and there is actually little reason to delete, the page does no harm to the project and is overall beneficial. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:14, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- Even assuming this is a navigational list of lists and not a standalone topic, there are two options for it, neither great. Either this encompasses every astronomical location in fiction, which is obviously absurd, or its scope is massively curtailed, at which point it is misnamed and not useful for navigation. Gnomingstuff (talk) 21:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The articles in this index have been deleted or are no longer lists, making this redundant to Category:Fiction about astronomical locations and Template:Astronomical locations in fiction. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 21:58, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Again, a 'delete' citing an existing template as a reason. I guess this can't be emphasized enough here in AfDland - templates are not seen on mobile. Thus over 50% of Wikipedia's readers are offered no "redundant" template to look at (are categories still not on mobile? I'm not sure). Since the existence of the template is still present in the nomination, and people are using it as a reason to delete, this AfD request is malformed and should be withdrawn. At the very least, if the language and votes still exist when the closer comes calling, the article should be kept on procedural reasons alone. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:30, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Nobody is saying this should be deleted b/c the template exists, it's existence is just a side note to this failing WP:GNG/WP:NLIST. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:35, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Gnomingstuff. This is not separately notable without WP:SIGCOV. Someone could try to change the scope, but it seems equally impossible to write an overall "space in fiction" article. I might suggest a redirect to stars and planetary systems in fiction, but that article is in terrible shape. Jontesta (talk) 13:48, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't see if it is possible to turn this into an article. Mukt (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CLT, and probably rename to reflect that this isn't an article, it's a list (a list of lists, to be exact). ansh.666 23:42, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ansh.666 Can you point out which lists are actually listed from that article? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:03, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    All of these pages used to be lists of works of fiction which contained the titular astronomical body, though it seems like they've been gutted and converted to prose by User:TompaDompa in the past year. This page still has the "list of lists" template at the bottom though. ansh.666 03:30, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Gutted is a rather unfair way to describe rewriting unencyclopedic trivia into encyclopedic prose content. And since no lists are linked, we cannot call it a list of lists, methinks. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:55, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, don't get me wrong, I think it was the right thing to do, but there was a lot of information removed. Either way, the list of lists thing doesn't matter as far as CLT goes, it's still a valid duplicate of the template. ansh.666 07:52, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Which policy allows for a duplication of templates in the form of articles, presumably for navigationa purposes? I don't think it's a valid WP:DISAMBIG. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:46, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I already cited it in my original comment, it's the guideline WP:CLT. ansh.666 19:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Right, but such lists still need to meet GNG policy per WP:LISTN, don't they? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:42, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Not really, per WP:LISTN: Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. ansh.666 19:41, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    In all honesty, I don't see how this list fullfils such purposes, at it doesn't seem like a searchable term. Astronomical location or Astronomical locations are not even redirects to anywhere, this is a technical list that's has zero visiblity outside Wikipedia and the few editors writing such topics. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:40, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Lists of astronomical locations in fiction; this AfD seems to have been prompted by an ill advised move that should have been subject to discussion. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 16:06, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I was not aware this was moved (was it?), but rename won't change the fact that it fails our criteria. If it is a list, how does it meet WP:NLIST? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 07:41, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, but move to Burnside Shops. I am not sure where the "old" came from, but Burnside was the location of both a yard and significant shops for the Illinois Central Railroad. Easy GNG pass, as seen with [26] [27] [28] [29]. The last source states that the Burnside Shops were the most important shop facilities on the Illinois Central.

  2. "West Caldwell man wins journalism award" (9 July 2010) – a two-sentence article in a local newspaper about him winning "the award for CampusProgress.org Breakthrough Story or Series".
  3. "Did Rep. Maxine Waters 'shove' a reporter? You decide" (4 June 2017) and "'Young Turks' Correspondent Says Rep. Maxine Waters 'Shoved' Him" (5 June 2017) – two articles about a politician "walk[ing] away from an interview with Tracey and push[ing] aside his hand and microphone" (quoting the Wikipedia article).
  4. "The Paranoid Center" (26 March 2019) – only a trivial mention: "... the strongest skeptics of the Russiagate narrative have been left-wing journalists – Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, Michael Tracey and others."
  5. "Should The Daily Beast have exposed the man behind 'drunk Pelosi' video?" (3 June 2019) – only a trivial mention: "Others who jumped on board to criticize The Daily Beast included ... freelance journalist Michael Tracey, formerly of The Young Turks."
  6. "Leftists Shouldn't Go on Tucker Carlson" (12 July 2019) – only mentions Michael Tracey in context of his appearances on Tucker Carlson Tonight and the two times he criticized the show and Carlson.
  7. "The Trailer: What we've learned from the great mask war" (28 May 2020) – only trivial mentions.
  8. "Left Heretics and the New Media Collective" (15 September 2020) – one paragraph about some Twitter slapfight in which he participated, one sentence about his coverage of the "looting and riots", and several trivial mentions.

All in all, the coverage is rather sparse and trivial, and Michael Tracey does not seem to be sufficiently notable to warrant a Wikipedia article. Kleinpecan (talk) 10:16, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The moderate faction of the Liberal Party is a term that is used by the media. Whether a person is a member of a faction is speculation and this speculation can lead to misinformation appearing in this Wikipedia Article. It is for the reasons mentioned thereof that I believe that this article can be categorised as "Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes" and "any other content not suitable for an encyclopaedia" GA Melbourne (talk) 07:19, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

    While these sources are reliable, such articles all seem to be gossip columns and aren't reporting fact.

  • Keep The sources, including RS Australian Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, The Conversation, ABC News, and SBS News frequently cover these factions, contrary to the nom, these are not gossipy columns but cover them directly and in detail, especially 1, 2, 3. The terminology is also covered in The Economist, with one paragraph discussing The Liberals’ future is especially uncertain. The party lost some of its safest seats, and its moderate politicians. Some warn that a populist turn is now likely, see here, though it might not be SIGCOV, and the moderate terminology per the article is also used by a former Prime Minister. This IMO does not violate WP:NOTNEWS and passes WP:GNG. VickKiang 22:41, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I've got an element of sympathy with the nomination here because officially there are no factions in the Liberal Party of Australia. "Because the Liberal party lacks formal factions, scholars have disagreed about the particular tendencies that can be found within its ranks."[1] Of course this doesn't mean there are not factions and in practice there are clear ideological divisions within the party and MPs do group together on issues (and around leadership change). But this is in stark contrast to the Australian Labor Party which institutionalises factional politics. Unlike the Labor Party, where there are clear, named factions (Unity, Socialist Left etc), there are no named factions in the Liberal Party - so this article, as it currently stands, is misleading to that extent. That said, there are clearly sources going back decades which discuss factions in the Party.[2][3][4][5] The difficulty is that the terms vary. Does this article need improvement? Yes. Does it need renaming? Possibly. Does it need better sourcing? Yes. But none of those answers indicate a need for deletion.

This is a non-notable film that resulted in a non-notable spinoff TV series. My WP:BEFORE search reveals obviously non-RS, 1, or non-SIGCOV, 2, 3, 4 refs, with the second ref being a vanity press (tried to add it, but I had rv my edit due to it being unreliable). The 4th ref is also trivial, revealing just two hits. Otherwise, the current refs are trivial databases except for a one paragraph, non-SIGCOV review here from Radio Times. Therefore, this clearly fails WP:NFILM and WP:GNG, and IMHO should be deleted. VickKiang 07:10, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I am seeing several Google Books results about the film, either with a solid paragraph or as a brief listing. Since this film came out in 1961, and it is not a very famous film, I think it could be likely that information about the film could be buried in print sources from around that time that would not be directly available online. I'm not sure which way to lean in this case and hope that someone can do a deep dive in databases of UK print sources to see if they can find anything.

  • Keep, As the creator of the article, I believe that although minor, the film has enough significant references, not just trivial mentions, including the BFI,[34] Allmovie,[35] TV Guide,[36] and the Radio Times here (which is a published as well as an online source). The film is a pulp b-movie  dramatisation of a significant event, the 1960 capture of nazi Adolph Eichman and is one of the movies in the Category:Films about Nazi fugitives and Category:Films about Nazi hunters; and therefore arguably itself a historic artefact. It is also listed in the filmographies of notable actors, writers, producers.  If it is removed, there will be no link to click on in these to discover what this film is about. Deleting it is a negative act. It will not benefit Wikipedia and its readers, but only make it the poorer as regards helpful information. Beryl reid fan (talk) 10:56, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Are we really saying database entries are significant, and ignoring WP:NFILM and WP:GNG at all? Therefore arguably itself a historic artefact-false, films don't inherit notability because of an event, nor does actors. On the cast, I don't think this satisfies this: The film features significant involvement (i.e., one of the most important roles in the making of the film) by a notable person and is a major part of their career. The Leonard Martin Film Guide does not count towards notability because it's a capsule review. A collection of trivial refs is WP:LOTSOFSOURCES, and elevating databases to non-trivial coverage violates presume notability, reliable sources should have significant coverage. Examples of coverage insufficient to fully establish notability include newspaper listings of screening times and venues, "capsule reviews", plot summaries without critical commentary, or listings in comprehensive film guides such as Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide, Time Out Film Guide, or the Internet Movie Database. By this logic, if we delete any film is a negative act, why don't we give an article to every film listed on IMDb with one notable actor somehow working on it? Many thanks! VickKiang 11:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    For what it's worth, the deletion of this article would not mean that The Pursuers would not be mentioned at all anywhere on Wikipedia. It is and will continue to be mentioned at the relevant cast and crew members' articles. The goal here is to have an encyclopedic article, not just a database entry. Anyone can make the case of any old film that it is relevant for having an article, but that's why we have notability standards, to prove that case through how independent sources have significant coverage about the film. BFI, AllMovie, and TV Guide will all have database-style pages for films that will not be considered notable on Wikipedia. At the end of the day, Wikipedia is WP:NOTDATABASE. We need encyclopedic content where this "historical artefact" is concerned. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:45, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete I went through newspapers.com for "The Pursuers" in England, 1962. There are passing mentions like [37] and https://www.newspapers.com/image/799376030/?terms=%22The%20Pursuers%22&match=1 but I'm just not seeing notability. It'd be weird for a film to have significant coverage in 1960s print but be barely recognized contemporaneously in newspapers. Most sources, then, will probably be reviews made much later.

  • Comment: Is it reasonable to expect that a b-film like this from 1961 should have 'significant coverage' available online? Because it is minor does not mean it is not notable. I have tried to show a wider historic significance. The danger with the notability rule, IMHO, is that it limits the films Wikipedia can have articles on to the usual roster of classic or well known films (those most likely to have 'significant coverage'), just like every other encyclopaedia. Isn't Wikipedia potentially more interesting than that? I believe these rules should be questioned rather than used to intimidate editors (please see the comments on Necrothesp's user page, re. this, which I agree with). E.g. I don't find that in this process editors have necessarily gone out of their way to 'avoid the use of sarcastic language' as per the guidelines. I've seen other editors articles taken apart in this way. Decent articles destroyed, because the Wiki police (or Nazis!) decide to move in. There are many more articles deserving of deletion than this one.

  • Delete, current sources do not satisfy WP:GNG by any stretch of the imagination. They are either cast listings or extremely short synopses. It might have some notable actors but notability is not inherited. It's not notable because it's a B movie and no one found it interesting enough to discuss it in depth and detail. You can scrape the Internet barrel and find dozens of such sources. And while I'm here, IMO anyone who attacks hard working volunteer Wikipedia editors as Nazis should probably be banned from ever writing an article again - just sayin' .

  • Keep per Jumpytoo, but rather than a batch AfD all the stations should be proposed for merging into some suitable article (most likely Red Line (Dubai Metro). Additionally, I strongly suspect most sources about this station will be in Arabic. I don't speak or read that language, but putting the title of the Arabic article (ar:جي جي كو (مترو دبي))) into Google brings up results that are more in-depth (about something) than the first couple of pages of English results.

  • Keep Metro stations are actually generally considered notable (yes, yes, WP:NEXIST and all - train stations indeed have no inherent notability per WP:NTRAINSTATION), for instance the UK metro system's stations or Hong Kong's MTR. Additionally, I note this article is sourced and we have in any case a pass of WP:GNG, which therefore satisfies WP:STATION. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see a GNG pass here. Ref 1 is a map, Ref 2 is of questionable reliability, and regardless GNG needs more than 1 source, Ref 3 briefly mentions the station in 1 sentence, and Ref 4 only mentions the station's name. If you think this meets GNG, you and I are reading a different guideline. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Satifies WP:NACTOR easily. His two series credits were co-starring roles, one nominated for a SAG award as part of an ensemble cast, for which bit players and extras aren't eligible. Some of the refs below confirm starring or co-starring status in both network series. A supporting leading role is the equivalent of a co-starring role. NACTOR only requires "significant roles" in multiple projects.
The article requires flagging with a citations needed banner, not deletion. IMDb says he has two upcoming projects, so he hasn't left the business. 5Q5| 12:22, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could not locate any reliable sources; sources currently referenced are either non-independent or self-published blogs, and a WP:BEFORE only turns up with similarly self-published sites (no indication of fact-checking etc).

    There is no need to be a legislator to pass WP:NPOL. It includes "politicians and judges who have held ... (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office". Phil Bridger (talk) 09:09, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Phil Bridger: oops, yes, I meant to say it is not clear if they are elected. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:23, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    It is also not necessary to be elected to pass WP:NPOL. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    NPOL makes numerous references to legislating and elections: "members of legislative bodies", "just being an elected local official", "applies to people who have been elected to such offices". I believe knowing how Usman came to office and whether her role is legislative is pertinent to this deletion discussion. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 12:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    But they all come after the word "or", so are irrelevant to people who qualify under the wording that I quoted above. For example all except two of the executive branch of the American federal government are non-elected and all of them are non-legislators, but they still qualify under NPOL.

The result was redirect to Elizabeth Jenkins (writer)#Biographer. This is a messy discussion. There is reasonably clear consensus that "Elizabeth the Great" as a descriptor for Elizabeth II doesn't quite hold water at this time. There's less clear consensus as to what to do with the title; there's many "delete" opinions, but without an articulated rationale for obliterating the page history, I'm interpreting those as "this DAB page should not exist as it does". The argument for redirecting to the biographer has decent support, and has a basis in DABMENTION. Some !votes suggest deleting before redirecting, but I see no basis in policy to remove the history; this discussion prevents unilateral restoration of the DAB page anyhow.

Not a plausible search term, bad disambigs— one is a book title, not a common nickname, and the other is extremely WP:recentist Dronebogus (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment as creator: This has 219 pageviews since the 8th, so I'm not sure how it can be an implausible search term. Both linked articles pass MOS:DABMENTION, and I was careful to avoid the pitfall of linking to Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II (which both currently fail DABMENTION). This is a term people are looking for, and the DAB takes people to either of two pages that explain the two contexts in which it's been used. That is the exact purpose of a disambiguation page. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 01:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh also, Dronebogus, can you clarify: Do you want this deleted, or do you want to restore Tavix' redirect to Queen Elizabeth, or to restore Heroeswithmetaphors's redirect to Elizabeth I? Targeting Elizabeth Jenkins (writer) § Biographer—matching Elizabeth the Great (biography), currently the only other page with that title—would also be an option. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 01:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment as the person trawling around various talk pages to try to get input on this (btw, if someone might mention this discussion on the semi-protected talk page Talk:Elizabeth II, as clearly I personally can't): I agree there's a degree of recentism here, but given that it's a navigation aid rather purported substantive, I don't see that as a terrible vice. And indeed, both subjects (the actual people that is, rather than subsidiary articles) fail MOS:DABMENTION, as does a third candidate who is sometimes so-called -- just not in our article -- Elizabeth of Russia. In terms of long-term appropriateness I'd guess that QE1 > EoR > QE2, but the long-term can look after itself. At present I'm inclined to say weak keep as threeway DAB to all three of above primary subjects, notwithstanding the three-way failure to actually mention the phrase in those articles. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 01:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I have no objection to adding an entry relating to Elizabeth of Russia if there's somewhere to point to, but at the moment Special:Search/"Elizabeth of Russia" "Elizabeth the Great" has 0 results. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 12:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    As I say, DABMENTION-wise it's a three-way fail. But there are off-wiki references to the Tsarina as "the Great" -- the Russians are maybe rather Great-happy. As a navigational courtesy I think it makes sense; in terms of a strict reading of out style guidance, due weight, and having reliable sources possibly not: but that's true of all of them. And to be clear, I'm suggesting the targets should be Elizabeth I, Elizabeth of Russia and Elizabeth II. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 15:05, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I would oppose that. There are times that it makes sense to IAR around DABMENTION, but I don't see why this ought to be one of them. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 20:55, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not a huge fan of IAR, but I'd argue this is more in the realm of WP:COMMONSENSE (with the usual "no such thing, and neither of those" stipulations). Or more specifically, "don't apply one particular piece of style guidance beyond the point of utility". Ultimately, DABs are there to disambiguate descriptions of topics, not exact textual descriptions. The above are sometimes so-described -- otherwise we wouldn't bother having the page at all -- and we have articles on all three of the topics being specified, albeit editors have deemed mentioning it not to be due weight to mention the phrase. So arguably, we're outside of the scope of DABMENTION here: "If a topic does not have an article of its own [...]." We need enough context in the DAB page itself to avoid too much WP:ASTONISHment for people looking for discussion of the exact phrase -- which currently they won't even find in the 'reactions' article for Liz2, so an unduly roundabout wild goose chase there. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:13, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Elizabeth II– term is pretty much never used for the other individuals given that the article didn’t even exist until a few days ago. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 13:20, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Other way around. It's been a redirect to Elizabeth I for a decade, and there's book-length sources describing her as such. Descriptions of Liz2 as the Great are recentist boosterism, churned out as performant, hagiographic royalism and ostentatious rending of garments by a few notoriously bumptious and self-serving individuals. Unlikely to be of any long-term historical significance, but readers may come looking in the meantime. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 15:13, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, Reactions to the death of Elizabeth II does not mention this term, meaning it is not a useful disambiguation. Devonian Wombat (talk) 05:14, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Meaning that it's been given the wrong target. The topic in each case is the person so-described, not subsidiary articles (that the term keeps flipping in and out of). 109.255.211.6 (talk) 17:05, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To me, it means that "...as referred to in some reactions to her death" is a bit too much right now as it appears misleading if it doesn't appear in the body of the text. Not only that, but there are now people who are trying to have her be referred to as "Elizabeth the Faithful." I think that it is odd why this was a redirect to Elizabeth II since 2015 when the disambig references reactions to her passing in 2022 and doesn't even have the text used. --Super Goku V (talk) 23:06, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    That article quotes Boris Johnson using the term in footnote 16. (Contra 109, I think this links to the exact right pages, so long as neither queen's article uses the term.) -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 19:41, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    In a quote in a reference, rather than a footnote as such. I think that's an extremely slight 'mention' to hang targeting the link at on, given that we have an entire article on each of the substantive topics as a much more generally useful target. In the alternative, list the book and the 'reactions' as separate DAB entries. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 23:19, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete we're getting ahead of our selves. 'Elizabeth the Great' i've never seen used for Elizabeth II apart from people on Wikipedia insisting it is her title.

    Quite. Trouble is we're left with a choice between a middling-quality DAB, or a worse-quality redirect. But stonewalling visitors to it to let the perfect be the enemy of the... admittedly at best moderately good, is kinda spiting ourselves. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 18:19, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for all the reason given above by User:109.255.211.6 and EmilySarah99. --Bduke (talk) 02:09, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Elizabeth_Jenkins_(writer)#Biographer or delete. Per WP:DABRELATED, we are to [i]nclude articles only if the term being disambiguated is actually described in the target article. For the second article, Reactions to the death of Elizabeth II, the term is not mentioned in the article's text, much less described, so it should not be included in the dab page. The fact that an article has a footnoted citation to a news piece with a headline that contains the phrase does not render that article a valid dab target; contrary to the article creator's claim that the fact that the article quotes Boris Johnson using the term in footnote 16 is enough to warrant inclusion in a disambiguation page, it would be plainly absurd to claim that this qualifies as the term being described in the target article. Moreover, for this to be a valid disambiguation page, there would need to be more than one article that is a valid target; we cannot have a valid dab page for which only one article exists. given that we only have one valid target, this should be either retargeted to Elizabeth_Jenkins_(writer)#Biographer, a section of a biography that describes a 1958 book by the title "Elizabeth the Great" or it should be deleted altogether. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 00:16, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    With respect to Liz's question regarding whether or not there is a logical use for a page with this title whether or not it is the use it currently has, I think that the only possible sensible use is in a redirect given that it's mentioned in the text of a single article. A search indicates that there is use of the biography as a source, but there's only one article that actually mentions the term "Elizabeth the Great". — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:03, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that speaks to whether it has a use, but rather whether it's MOS-compliant as a DAB. Which latter I agree it's not. The use being to mitigate the amount of WP:ASTONISHment that readers looking for the Liz1-related content will experience getting sent there without much in the way of context, and the huge such that readers looking for either of the other two would get in such a case. So I think 'use' speaks to retaining it, flawed though it is. In the longer term redirecting to Liz1 (or that related article) might be a good solution, but in the short run I think we'd be misdirecting almost all our traffic to that target, out of misguided legalism. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 04:55, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are there numerous RS's that show that Elizabeth the Great is commonly used? InvadingInvader (talk) 00:20, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Numerous" and "commonly" would be marginal.  It's certainly adequately sourceable: we have the major reference of the Liz1 bio, and many WP:RECENT mentions of people floating the term for Liz2. But the articles don't deem them to be of sufficient weight to bother mentioning. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 00:12, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to the book The term is too recent to be linked to Liz II imo, and there is well established book with that title. Unless and until we have a book of the same title for Liz II, this DAB makes no sense to me. FrederalBacon (talk) 03:06, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. One book and some instances of current usage (no doubt influenced by her death) do not establish that she was/is generally known that way. Kablammo (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Two different 'she's, note. Hence the logic if it being a DAB, not a redirect. And 'generally known' isn't the applicable standard here. 109.255.211.6 (talk) 00:05, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting though I sense that individuals with differing opinions will think there is an obvious consensus but I don't see it and people are still commenting here today. There are several points of view here (Keep, Delete, several different Redirects) and I think editors participating here should look through the comments that have already have been made and the rationales those editors have given for their opinions.

WP:POVFORK with clear WP:RECENTISM bias. There is nothing here that can't be handled by the Hans Niemann and Magnus Carlsen articles. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 00:17, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as there is widespread media coverage also outside chess-focused news sources (as evident from the references list and just any basic web search). This is one of the largest controversies in chess history, I'm sure it will pass the test of time (and if it doesn't, just nominate it again). ―Jochem van Hees (talk) 00:28, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This has been a pretty widely covered event, even outside of regular chess publications. Since the continuation of the controversy to the Julian Baer Generations Cup, there does not seem to be an appropriate merge target in my mind. To cover in either Carlsen or Neimann's page specifically seems like it would result in an WP:XY redirect to me from this merge. With the amount of news coverage being significant and from WP:RS and also covering multiple chess tournaments, I can see nothing else to do, but to keep. TartarTorte 00:55, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Julian Baer cup is a minor on line event, not rated by FIDE (the game's international governing body). Carlsen's behaviour there is really just a postscript to the Sinquefield Cup incident. We don't have separate articles on the Kasparov-Polgar touch-move controversy or the Kramnik-Topalov Toiletgate controversy, so why this one? Because we have more internet now? How is this particular "scandal" more important than the others which nobody proposed separate articles for? In 50 years time, would you really expect to see a separate article on this in The Encyclopedia of Chess, rather than just covering it in the players' respective articles? We should add "internetism" to "recentism" as potential sources of bias IMO. MaxBrowne2 (talk) 01:04, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Without regard to FIDE's lack of governance over the Julian Baer Generations Cup, Carlsen's near immediate resignation got coverage far beyond chess publications. I think that So long as an article passes GNG, then it should be kept. While it's certainly related to the controversy coming out of the Sinquefield Cup, the significant coverage of it is partially due to there not being a whole lot left on the chess calendar this year in terms of notable events, especially that Carlsen and Niemann would end up facing off against each other in. There's another tournament in the Meltwater Champions Chess Tour where it's possible they'd play each other, but that is not FIDE sanctioned. The only FIDE sanctioned event in which I could see them facing off is possibly the World Team Championship, but to be honest, I don't know if (and to some extent doubt that) Niemann will be on the US team for the tournament. The time at which it happened in the chess calendar for 2022 is quite unfortunate when it comes to determining recentism. TartarTorte 01:23, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If the controversy peters out to nothing, as the Kramnik-Topalov controversy did, this article can be merged into the biographies of the players. But until then, there is all this coverage to deal with, especially in non-chess publications. So a separate article seems to be in order right now. Conversely, if the controversy mushrooms into something serious, depending on what that something is, some other merge target may present itself.
