  • Delete: BLP, fails GNG, BIO. This might be TOOSOON, but BLPs should have solid references. BEFORE showed promo and primary, nothing that meets IS RS SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  06:35, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet notability, all I find are PR and the like. Oaktree b (talk) 14:59, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - He is notable for four reasons:

[1] - For being the founder and chairman of a notable company

[2] - For being a Fugitive Economic Offender and a fugitive from the Indian justice system

[3] - His case has been covered by major Indian newspapers such as The Indian Express and The Telegraph (India)[1][2]

[4] - A lot of new information and more incriminating statements and reports have come to light since the previous deletion discussion held in 2020.

Elkovint (talk) 15:47, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We need sources that discuss these points, simply saying so isn't enough. Oaktree b (talk) 17:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response:
  1. There is no indication their company is notable, even if it was notability is NOTINHERITED.
  2. Being a fugitive does not make you notable.
  3. BLP1E.
  4. No sources provided, all that I see is routine news related to the 1E.
This is clearly a BLP1E.  // Timothy :: talk  08:07, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and salt: WP:BLP1E, WP:CRIME. All sources stem from this 1E, nothing that meets IS RS SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth outside of the 1E. WP:CRIME states, "Editors must give serious consideration to not creating an article on an alleged perpetrator when no conviction is yet secured." Since this is a BLP, I think salt is appropriate to prevent recreation again.  // Timothy :: talk  06:59, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm all for naming, shaming, and blaming White-collar criminals, and have been on the record for that opinion since 2007. However, in all that time, that is against the overwhelming and ongoing consensus. WE have instituted strong rules protecting living persons. This badly fails WP:GNG as I think most Wikipedians would think. Bearian (talk) 01:41, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When viewing the comments through the lens of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines there is consensus to delete the article; WP:GNG and the like do not say that a person's accomplishments give them notability so that argument does not carry much weight.

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

Was deleted last year through AfD, but is not eligible for G4 (see ONUnicorn's comments on article's history page). Same issues still apply, not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG. Onel5969 TT me 13:02, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Possibly, though that would concern the company rather than the individual. Aside from that, regarding the individual, there is the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award claim, though the provided reference doesn't work. AllyD (talk) 14:24, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:38, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Ricardo Santos Silva's diverse accomplishments, influence across various sectors, and recognition through awards demonstrate his notability. As a Portuguese businessman and technology entrepreneur, he co-founded multiple successful companies, all of which have made significant contributions to their respective industries. This showcases his impact on the business world and further supports his notability.

I have added a new source (including his picture) for the "Entrepreneur of the Year" award, which highlights his innovation, leadership, and contributions to society. His achievements extend beyond founding companies. For instance, before establishing his own ventures, Ricardo Santos Silva served as the deputy president of Lyxor Asset Management, a role that highlights his professional expertise and industry experience. Additionally, his co-founding of Dorae, a technology firm specializing in supply chain transparency and sustainability, led to the company being recognized as a World Economic Forum 2020 Technology Pioneer, which further underscores his notability.

Moreover, Ricardo Santos Silva has received prestigious awards, such as the Entrepreneur of the Year by the Presidency of the Portuguese Republic in 2019, acknowledging his innovation, leadership, and contributions to society. His career as an entrepreneur, marked by both successes and controversies, has had a significant impact on the Portuguese economy.

He clearly meets WP:GNG, as there is substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The Entrepreneur of the Year award, his involvement in the founding and management of multiple successful businesses, and his impact on various industries all contribute to his notability and warrant the preservation of this article.ScottWillis45 (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: fails GNG and BIO. BIO1E.

  • Delete - comprehensively fails WP:GNG and WP:BASIC per my below source analysis. If anything is incorrect in my analysis, please ping me. I'm also deeply concerned about the extremely promotional language used by Scott Willis above. I would also ask Das and Scott to provide significant coverage addressing Santos Silva in depth because not one example has been put forward yet and, in my view, this article does not address the reasons for deletion at all.

The subject of this article -- which has clearly been written primarily by the subject and his libertarian colleagues, under a number of different accounts -- is non-notable under Wikipedia standards. The references are generally passing mentions, and not always directly to the subject, and are with frequency neither independent of him nor reliable.

  • Keep per Cielquiparle - sufficient coverage. Walt Yoder (talk) 15:36, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified. If it isn't *clearly* showing independent content then it fails ORGIND. Here, the references (including those in The Telegraph) are simply regurgitating the company and have no "Independent Content" in the form of independent analysis/fact checking/opinion/etc. Commenting on the sources mentioned above by Cielquiparle above:
None of the references meets GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 16:09, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I could rewrite this page as an article about Pitchero the website and not the company, in which case (even by your own admission), there are two valid sources (Telegraph.co.uk product review and The Gloucestershire Echo customer use case and feedback). For this reason, I actually think this still passes! (Our perennial disagreement seems to be about whether the products and services and activities undertaken by an organization count as coverage about the organization itself; in my book it is, but in your book it is not. In this case, Pitchero is both a company and a website.) Cielquiparle (talk) 16:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, not quite. NCORP is a guideline for either a company *or* a product, that is true. But in my opinion, none of the sources mentioned meet the guidelines if the topic was the website (or its product) either, see WP:PRODUCTREV. Perhaps other product reviews exist but I haven't checked for that since the topic is the company. HighKing++ 19:27, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with the complete dismissal of Richard Tyler's three articles focusing on the company in The Sunday Telegraph (which to be fair should only count as "one" article since they are by the same person in the same publication). While it's true he does rely a lot on quotes from the founders, in each article the journalist has made some effort to try to verify their claims through third parties – e.g. verifying their claims about traffic from rugby clubs (and others) through Hitwise, naming clubs that are actually using Pitchero. In addition, Tyler himself does provide a bit his own analysis and opinion on Pitchero's prospects. While the first article in particular is light on substance (because it's still early days for the company), and it's clear that Tyler *hopes* that the company will succeed, in the second article in particular, he explains the reasons why he thinks the company is positioned to weather the economic downturn. I think that's quite different from simply regurgitating press releases, or simply taking everything a founder/entrepreneur tells you at face value. And if the company had performed badly or was poised to fail, he was ready to report that as well; that's sort of the point of the column. Cielquiparle (talk) 20:04, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, you're trying to shoehorn those articles (in bulk) into our guidelines. We don't take articles in aggregate - see WP:SIRS which says that *each* source must meet *all* the requirements. None of those articles individually meet GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 10:17, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a series of articles by the same journalist in the same publication covering the same company. I think that is a fair exception, in this case. Just like we would only count it as "one" source for notability purposes. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your opinion on making an exception is not supported by any of our guidelines and goes against WP:SIRS. For good reason I believe - for example since the articles are written at different points in time and so the data points change - what might be relevant on one date may not be on the next. HighKing++ 14:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to add, MULTSOURCES refers to the definition of "multiple sources" for the purposes of ascertaining whether multiple sources exist that discuss the topic and assist in establishing notability - it means that individual articles from the same author or publisher could as one source. But - this doesn't mean that we can aggregate the sources' content. That (incorrect) interpretation would result in a hypothetical situation where we would need to aggregate hundreds of articles over many decades from a single author for the purposes of evaluating it as a single source - that is not correct. Whereas SIRS distinctly says *individual* sources must be evaluated. HighKing++ 21:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is another point in our perennial disagreement: From the standpoint of organizational history, I am very interested in how an entity evolves over time. Therefore, the point-in-time snapshots are extremely important, and help us to tell a more complete story about the entity, as long as we take care to put each claim or fact in context (e.g., citing which year, etc.); and if they are also in-depth enough and written by secondary sources, they should count toward notability. Yes, it would be "better" if the author had combined the three articles into a full-page retrospective on the company, but in traditional print newspaper reporting this is increasingly unlikely; and if you read the three articles, they do refer to the previous and the second one does ask the question of whether the initial assessment was warranted.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Among the sources provided by Cielquiparle (talk · contribs), whose arguments I agree with, here are two (among many) that establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria:
    1. Eccleshare, Charlie (2016-12-08). "How video-sharing technology is bringing much-needed modernisation to grassroots sport". The Daily Telegraph. Archived from the original on 2023-03-28. Retrieved 2023-04-10.

      The article notes: "I expect it is a situation most amateur players have dreamed about at some point, so I am excited to be trialling the Pitchero Play app, which allows teams at semi-professional and grassroots level to record their matches and broadcast clips on their club's website and social media channels. ... It is partly down to this curiosity of grassroots players to see themselves in action that Pitchero, which is a long-running club website service across various sports, has this year launched Pitchero Play where clubs can record and host videos in real time - both to supporters and the other 70,000 teams that are part of the Pitchero network. The Pitchero club websites allow teams to manage payments and memberships, and share information such as details on fixtures, player statistics and league tables."

    2. Murphy, Lizzy (2008-06-19). "Graduates on the ball with sport website". The Yorkshire Post. ProQuest 335463526.

      The article notes: "Pitchero, a cross between Facebook and YouTube, was created by Yorkshire entrepreneurs Mark Fletcher, 23, and Jon Milsom, 22, during their final year at university. Since the launch of the site, eight weeks ago, hundreds of football and rugby clubs across the country have signed up to use the free website and posted their pages with match reports, videos and photographs. ... The company was started last July with funding from angel investors and runs from a corner of an office used by Fantastic Media, a marketing agency in Birstall, run by Pitchero's two investors, Andrew Hobson and Andrew McCarthy. ... Pitchero's members can create their own pages to post blogs, pictures and videos about their favourite goals, tackles and penalties. They can also track their own sporting progress. The site has grown to include sports clubs from around the country. ... Sports bodies can also use Pitchero to communicate directly with amateur coaches about new game rules and training techniques to engage the younger generation, information which they wouldn't necessarily get anywhere else."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Pitchero to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 08:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The sources provide independent analysis and reporting about Pitchero (its app and its website). Coverage about a company's app and its website is coverage about the company itself (about what services the company is offering to consumers). It would not make sense to have separate articles about "Pitchero's app" and "Pitchero's website" instead of an article just about "Pitchero".

    From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Products and services: "A product or service is appropriate for its own Wikipedia article when it has received sustained coverage in reliable secondary sources. In cases where a company is mainly known for a single series of products or services, it is usually better to cover the company and its products/services in the same article. This article can be the name of the company or the name of its product, depending on which is the primary topic. Avoid splitting the company and its products into separate articles, unless both have so much coverage in reliable secondary sources as to make a single article article unwieldy."

    Cunard (talk) 08:35, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Response I've already commented above on the Telegraph article which was mentioned by Cielquiparle above. It has no in-depth "Independent Content" - the information about the company is generalised and not in-depth (as is required) and it also relies almost entirely on an interview with people connected with the company (including the founder). You have also misinterpreted NCORP. It covers topics about *either* companies *or* products and says that you can include info about one in the article on the other. So, in an article about a company, it is OK to have a section dealing with the product and vice versa. It doesn't mean that you can use articles about a product to establish the notability of a company - which is what you appear to be saying. Here, we're trying to establish the notability of the company. None of the (very selective) extracts you've included provide anything close to meeting WP:CORPDEPTH. HighKing++ 21:10, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't see how you can reach that conclusion - the website and app are products and even a brief perusal of NCORP guidelines say the exact opposite. For example, WP:INHERITORG explains that the company cannot inherit notability and says The organization or corporation itself must have been discussed in reliable independent sources for it to be considered notable. WP:ORGCRIT says that the company is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. WP:SIRS says that individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other and each source must Contain significant coverage addressing the subject of the article directly and in depth. if another aspect of a company is covered. WP:CORPDEPTH specifically states that Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. Can you point to anywhere in our guidelines that suggests that coverage of how to explore the options on a company's website or how to use their app is meaningful in the context of establishing the notability of the company? HighKing++ 12:39, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't consider coverage about a company's website to be different from coverage about the company itself. The website is the company. The company is the website. Cunard (talk) 22:22, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, so it's just your opinion and there's nothing in the guidelines? Fine. It would be a lot easier if you put this up-front on your !votes so we know they're not based on policy/guidelines. HighKing++ 17:05, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • From Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Examples of substantial coverage: "Examples of substantial coverage that would generally be sufficient to meet the requirement" include "A documentary film exploring environmental impact of the corporation's facilities or products".

    Significant coverage of a "corporation's facilities" is considered significant coverage of the corporation. Likewise, significant coverage of a "corporation's website" is considered significant coverage of the corporation. Cunard (talk) 08:23, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah cmon, that's a stretch even for you. The documentary film provided as an example is very definitely *not* described as simply coverage of the corporations facilities, rather it is looking at the environmental impact of the corporation. At best, coverage of the website is more akin to a product review. Which as you know doesn't contribute to the criteria for establishing the notability of the company. HighKing++ 11:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your interpretation of the guideline is that a source looking at the "environmental impact of the corporation's facilities" is looking at the "environment impact of the corporation" so it establishes notability for the corporation. Likewise, a source looking at the "the corporation's website or app" is looking at "the corporation" (about the work a company has done to draw in customers to earn revenue) so establishes notability for the corporation.

Appears to be a vanity bio created and maintained either by the subject himself, or by people close to him (or both). A new editor stepped in last month who said they would fix shortcomings addressed in a PROD, but their added sources are mostly WP:RSSELF. One citation is from the subject's own magazine. I can find no material from reliable sources attesting to the subject's notability, aside from a review of one of their novels that was published in Boston.com. Subject does not appear to meet the threshold of either WP:NACADEMIC or WP:AUTHOR. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 20:04, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hey y'all, as the aforementioned "new editor," I'm going to reserve my vote. However, I do want to address the issues of sourcing and notability. I've included citations to several reviews of his books including the Virginian Pilot, Denver Post, Boston Globe, The Morning Star, Kirkus Reviews, Foreward Reviews, and the Washington City Paper. Thank you @Pburka for the lead on Publishers Weekly, as I hadn't seen that one. As far as the sources by the subject, perhaps this is a misunderstanding on my part. I was taught that citations were meant to show evidence of the claim being stated. Therefore, if someone was recorded to be an editor of a publication, it would make sense to show a connection to the actual publication where the subject was listed as editor. Maybe it makes more sense to have them as external links. Ravenandlotus (talk) 13:39, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: BLP, Fails GNG and BIO, WP:NACADEMIC, WP:NAUTHOR. There are not sources to support GNG. Sources in the article are primary and promo, nothing that meets IS, RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject (the author) directly and indepth. None of their works appears to have multiple reviews from IS, RS, and they look like a normal academic, nothing that would bypass GNG. BEFORE nothing that meets IS RS SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability to avoid abuse per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).

    4. has pretty much zero content
    5. "Rear Adm. Frank Trojahn, an attaché from Denmark, examines the cockpit of a UH-60" is pretty far from SIGCOV

    7. Just an image caption, so-and-so visited so-and-so
    8. 64 words, including the heading. It's all good info, but incredibly far from SIGCOV

    To expand on my logic a bit since this seems to keep going: The subject is not covered by any of the WP:NBIO's "Additional Criteria", meaning the article is governed solely by WP:NBASIC, which is equivalent to WP:GNG. There is no inherent notability for military positions (see e.g. the explicit deprecation of WP:NSOLDIER). The sources identified so-far (as analyzed above) are all minimal, and I don't see them contributing at all towards the GNG. The only potential exception is the HOD (Officers' Union of Denmark) biography, but I would not consider that independent (given that the subject is most likely a member, contrast to e.g. citing a police union biography of a chief-of-police). And even if it was independent, more than one good source is needed. Ljleppan (talk) 09:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don’t see any indication of WP:NOTABILITY per WP:GNG and WP:RS WP:SIGCOV that would establish notability as specified in WP:GNG as the relevant policy. A notable subject would be expected to have demonstrable significant coverage by reliable independent secondary sources, which I did not find when I did my own search. The coverage that does exist doesn’t satisfy WP:SIGCOV sufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG guidelines. If criteria in the relevant policies were met, there would be a strong case to be made for keeping. However, I don’t see that here and therefore I conclude that the article should be deleted as the subject lacks demonstrable notability. Additionally, WP:GNG is also failed here due to a lack of significant (in depth, non trivial and non routine) coverage by qualifying sources. Deletion is the appropriate outcome, since the article subject fails WP:GNG notability criteria. One could entertain inclusion if there was any existing claim to WP:NOTABILITY under the appropriate guidelines, which just isn’t met here. Finally, I note that WP:GNG is not satisfied as a matter of course, which follows from a lack of reliable source SIGCOV that isn’t either WP:ROUTINE or WP:TRIVIAL. Any claim to subject notability should be backed by a strong basis in policy, which simply isn’t the case here since the subject doesn’t meet WP:GNG criteria under WP:NOTABILITY and GNG guidelines pertaining to subjects such as these. It would be a different matter entirely if the subject met any of these conditions, however, they do not and so deletion is the appropriate policy based conclusion. The case for keeping would be stronger and more compelling if the subject has demonstrable notability via WP:RS WP:SIGCOV. Overall, since none of the sources establish evidence of notability sufficient for inclusion, the article should be deleted. I would be more inclined to support keeping if any of the sources met the required criteria. Since they don’t, however, the strongest case to made here is the one for deletion. Finally, my own research into the subject doesn’t find any indication of WP:NOTABILITY per WP:GNG and WP:RS WP:SIGCOV that would establish notability as specified in WP:GNG as the relevant policy. A notable subject would be expected to have demonstrable significant coverage by reliable independent secondary sources, which I did not find when I did my own search. The coverage that does exist doesn’t satisfy WP:SIGCOV sufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG guidelines. If criteria in the relevant policies were met, there would be a strong case to be made for keeping. However, I don’t see that here and therefore I conclude that the article should be deleted as the subject lacks demonstrable notability. Additionally, WP:GNG is also failed here due to a lack of significant (in depth, non trivial and non routine) coverage by qualifying sources.

The result was delete‎ . The argument that WP:NPROF Criteria 1 is met is not without merit but undermined by the points made further into the discussion that highlight that there are several virologists with the same name, so not all of those results are for this individual. These concerns were not addressed or rebutted by those arguing to keep the article, and consensus otherwise appears to be that none of the notability guidelines are (yet) met for this article's subject.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Academics and educators. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:36, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep looking at his GS profile it seems like he is highly active with 10k citations overall and 18 publications with 100+ citations. This is more than enough to pass WP:NPROF based on previous outcomes of deletion discussions. Also clearly his publications are in some of the highest profile journals, well cited by other academics and he has had an impact on the field. If we are following consistent criteria then this should be a keep. --hroest 15:41, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Hannes Röst I am not doubting you, but as a non subject expert here how do I parse his influence/contribution from other authors? In natural sciences, a larger list of co-authors is common practice. Is your argument that he satisfies point #1 of WP:NPROF? I explicitly came to oppose, because I didn't see these criteria being met, but the Google Scholar should help with finding sources that indicate his influence. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 18:15, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Shushugah: this is mainly in line with previous discussions on WP:NPROF and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Academics_and_educators. But yes, determining "influence" is hard and it is hard even for academics themselves. Overall the consensus is that NPROF#1 can be measured by citations in the field as a measure of how much influence a person had on the field. Co-authorship can be tricky and there are cases of people who are on tons of papers as a middle author which would probably make them ineligible for NPROF#1 but this is not the case here. See also the explanation of NPROF#1: "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates." which is what I have argued here. --hroest 17:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as being cofounder of business praised on Forbes, and being on an MIT list. BhamBoi (talk) 21:05, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The citation record in the Google scholar profile is persuasive in convincing PROF-C1 is met, and this is further strengthened by the MIT Review listing of him as an innovator. --Mvqr (talk) 09:37, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a tricky one because he probably will become notable by N:PROF fairly soon, but my opinion is he isn't there yet. He works in a highly cited field, so his publication list, while excellent, doesn't leap out as so outrageously good as to instantly assure notability, and a lot of his publications predate his professorship, meaning that it's unclear whether they add to his notability or that of his supervisor at the time. He is currently only an assistant professor, which doesn't meet NPROF, and has no other feature that meets it. Forbes lists are pretty unhelpful for this as everyone and his dog is on a Forbes under-something up-and-coming someoneorother list. I suspect it's WP:TOOSOON but almost certain he'll arrive. It seems a bit counter-productive to delete, but by current rules he really is a delete and it's not really fair on everyone else to allow one up-and-coming academic the advertisement of a Wikipedia article just because he's at Harvard and in the in-crowd with MIT, while denying it to someone at a lesser institution with lesser academic-social contacts. If we do keep this, we set a precedent of keeping academics who seem to be on the way up, before they've actually got there. Elemimele (talk) 09:44, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no rule to have assistant profs being always non-notable, there is just a consensus that they often are not because of their citation record. however, this is not the case here, he likely compares favorably to other tenured profs in his field. Also @Elemimele: can you point to a bias of someone being deemed non-notable because they are at a (as you called it) "lesser" institution? I could point you to various counter-examples where the institution did not factor in at all (it mostly doesnt here in these discussions). --hroest 17:13, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    (1) I don't think being an assistant prof makes him non-notable; it's just that it doesn't make him notable. (2) The nub of the matter is that his only real claim to notability is highly-cited literature. My statement is that much of his highly-cited literature predates his professorship (by age, some of it stems from his undergraduate years). It is possible that a lot of this was greatly influenced by his supervisors during the time he worked under them, and reflects their influence and notability, not his. In general, C1 claims for notability should be literature that is undoubtedly the brain-child of the article's subject. (3) I believe that he is quite likely a rising star. I shouldn't have mentioned institutions; that clouded the issue. But my point was that we should be cautious of allowing a premature article about someone who in my opinion is likely to go places, my opinion being based on the fact he's landed a position at Harvard and attracted attention from MIT. In effect, I was commenting on my own systematic bias towards respectable Western academia. But ultimately, this is an encyclopaedia, not LinkedIn. It does no harm if we wait a year or two. I think currently he's strictly speaking a delete by the rules, but I won't lose any sleep over the article being kept, because in a year of two, he'll probably pass. Elemimele (talk) 20:36, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for your thoughtful points, I mostly agree with you on the subject matter and all your points but I come to a slightly different (subjective) conclusion as I tend to generally lean against deletion. --hroest 01:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dubious notability of awards ceremony. All I found were PR articles, and some other sources very closely related to the actual event. In my opinion does not pass GNG. Bedivere (talk) 01:23, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Latin Awards of Canada, or Latin Awards Canada, is an event organized by the Fondation Cruz-A, which is an entity that works non-profit and made up of an administrative body and a large group of collaborators who are experts in the different environments analyzed. It was founded in 2015, and has been held uninterruptedly since its founding (8 years of continuous events).
The purpose of the ceremony is to reward, highlight, and recognize the values and effort of local artists, youth, and talents residing in Canada, as well as businessmen, athletes, journalists, broadcasters, promoters, Latino media, and Canadian personalities, with the intention of encouraging them to be better every day and recognize the good work of experts in different areas (diversity of recognitions).
The choice of the nominees will be through surveys of the most outstanding in different areas and the winners will be chosen during the qualifications determined by the general public through a website and social networks (voting open to the public and through experts ).
Personalities such as Miguel Barnet, Eliades Ochoa, Andy Baquero, Ken-Y, Héctor Acosta, among others, have been recognized for their professional development within Canada. (https://azizeinforma.com/ganadores-del-latin-awards-canada-2023/)

Simply not enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Interesting footnote in Alamo history, perhaps. Onel5969 TT me 10:10, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The Handbook of Texas, which according to its Wikipedia article is a comprehensive biographical dictionary of Texas, has a 594-word biography of the subject, here. If we're not basing our standards of notability on one of the best biographical dictionaries in the area, what are we doing?. Also, Alamo Defenders has a 2-page biography of the subject, here (the source is in the bibliography of the Handbook of Texas article). There is a biographical sketch in this history (also cited in the Handbook of Texas, although I can't read all of it on Google Books). The website of the San Jacinto Museum of History has a 1,719-word biography by Louise W. Kemp, here, which is the first hit on Google. And there's this piece from a mid-20th-century Texas newspaper.

While there is little disagreement about which sources are available, there is wide disagreement about the quality and depth of the available sources, and whether we should be more concerned about the availability of multiple, less-than-in-depth sources vs. that a BLP requires strong sources.

    • Delete. Source #1 is a first-person account by Zebelyan and Kakosyan Red XN. #2 is an interview that contains some introductory sentences on him, but there's a lot of speculative rather than biographical material there Red XN. #3 literally says Filling in the information gap related to the matches of the national team, we bring to your attention a series of archival interviews prepared by the club's press service for official programs Red XN. #4 is pure Q&A interview Red XN. #5 is pure Q&A interview Red XN. If your first five sources are that poor I don't expect the other 14 to be any better. JoelleJay (talk) 19:58, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Zebelyan appears to have had two meaningful seasons of football; 2006 - when he was joint-second leading scorer (23 goals) in the Russian second tier with Kuban, and 2010 - when he was joint-top scorer (6 goals) for his club Zhemchuzhina Sochi in the Russian second tier. Aside from those seasons, he made 12 Russian top tier appearances in 2007 (leaving Kuban mid-season for Khimki because he wasn't playing regularly), and notched a lot of goals in the semi-pro Russian third tier (as well as in Belarus and Kazakhstan). I checked gazeta.ru, and their coverage is all routine (list); transfer announcements, national team call up announcements, match reports, injury reports. Sport-express.ru has some of the same articles (probably club press releases) and further routine coverage. I haven't had the time to check Armenian-language coverage, but I'm not seeing anything in-depth yet; which seems reasonable given that he hardly ever played at a level that would garner Russian-language media attention. Jogurney (talk) 20:44, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Armenian-language coverage is no better. The tert.am Q&A interview posted above is potentially useful, but contains so little independent reporting, it cannot count towards WP:SIGCOV. This blogpost actually sums up Zebelyan's career (he is one of 20 Armenian footballers who "didn't live up to expectations") in a way that helps me understand why I can't find any SIGCOV. Jogurney (talk) 21:55, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG, per my WP:BEFORE above. Unfortunately, any of Das osmnezz's sources that I didn't discuss are also not independent or routine/trivial as well. Jogurney (talk)
  • Comment - I have just spent an hour and a half doing a WP:HEY and vastly expanded the article with the sources. WP:HEY states that it can be "invoked during deletion discussions to point out that an article has been significantly improved since it was nominated for deletion". On top of that, one of the sources (sports.kz) states, "the forward Robert Zebelyan, quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" (he has a wikipedia page in 9 languages). Defiently has offline sources as well, having been clearly significant figure in football in former Soviet states with over 200+ appearances isn fully top flights and second tiers of Soviet states and 7+ appearances for Armenia in extensive career spanning 10+ years. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 10:36, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • What new sources have you introduced beyond those listed above? I went back through the ones posted above (now added to the article), and the sportfiction.ru hosting of a Nezavisimaya Gazeta Q&A interview is the only one with independent reportage (2 paragraphs) of any significance. That said, I would need to see something else to believe the GNG could be met. Care to share what you think gets us there? Jogurney (talk) 13:34, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wanted to clarify that Zebelyan has not made 200+ appearances isn fully top flights and second tiers of Soviet states; he played 12 matches in the Russian top division, 101 matches in the Russian second division, 9 matches in the Belarussian top division, and 11 matches in the Kazakh top division (really only 12 of these at an elite level).

  • Delete Fails WP:GNG after going through the sources. Dougal18 (talk) 13:37, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Responding to Jogurney, other editors and I disagree with your opinion that the 19+ sources do not provide IRS SIGCOV, as shown in the keep votes above. It's fine, we can agree to disagree. Also, based on my experience, former Soviet states tend to have interviews as one of the highest forms of sports coverage compared to other countries. As stated above, one of the sources (sports.kz) states, "the forward Robert Zebelyan, quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" (this is coming from a Kazakhstani website, which shows how notable he is in post Soviet football. He also has a wikipedia page in 9 languages). This is shown by the fact that there are many many sources about him from a large variety of websites/newspapers from many different countries over the years. On top of that, there are definitely also offline sources about him in Armenian and Russian. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 01:53, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry, but the number of sources is irrelevant. If you read the sports.kz source, it is simply a press release from FC Tobol (Zebelyan's employer). Per discussions at WT:NSPORTS, a press release from a sportsperson's club (or the league that organizes the competitions their club participates in) is NOT independent and cannot contribute towards notability. We need to see in-depth coverage in independent, reliable sources; and you've not provided that. Jogurney (talk) 02:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of the sources are not club press releases and are by the news portals themselves. On top of the many many sources about him during his playing career, the fact that there are sources about him years after his retirement ([37], [38], [39] among others) show how notable he is in post Soviet football. The information on all the sources is enough for a relatively comprehensive footballer Wikipedia page, especially an Armenian player. On top of that, there are definitely also offline sources about him in Armenian and Russian. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:07, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We've already been over the first two, which are primary and non-independent interviews (the second better than the first). The third source is a wordpress blog, why would you link that? JoelleJay (talk) 06:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Responding to JoelleJay, the fact that there are sources about him years after his retirement show how notable he is in post Soviet football. The information on all the sources is enough for a relatively comprehensive footballer Wikipedia page, especially an Armenian player. The focus is always on deletion rather than improvement, but I spent hours doing a WP:HEY and vastly expanded the article with the sources. WP:HEY states that it can be "invoked during deletion discussions to point out that an article has been significantly improved since it was nominated for deletion". As one user stated in another deletion discussion, "expansion... renders the above WP:WIKILAWYERING a moot point". On top of that, there are definitely also offline sources about him in Armenian and Russian. Responding to Jogurney, the majority of the sources are not club press releases and are by the news portals themselves. Finally, Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of knowledge, and this article is a "yes" to Wikipedia:The one question. Zebelyan is clearly a topic of interest, especially with Wikipedia pages in around 9 languages, and no, I'm not saying everybody should have a Wikipedia page, but Zebelyan is "quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" (which means he has been a significant figure in the football of at least a few nations), as the many sources, primary or not (and some aren't), from many countries and years show, as well as his extensive professional career, which included playing in the "elite level" Russian Premier League. On a side note, I find the double standard of the most consistent pro-deletion users very frustrating since most of them either support Wikipedia:SNG for another topic where the article doesn't need to meet WP:GNG or have sometimes created articles with less coverage than this one... (I support article creation, but their double standard is very frustrating). Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:32, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Prosifying his infobox and supplementing it with trivia from routine transactional reports is not "improvement". JoelleJay (talk) 02:47, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If writing a comprehensive summary of pretty much his entire career (early life, youth club career, senior club career, youth international career, senior international career, post-playing career, style of play, and personal life) is "trivia", I don't know what isn't "trivia" in a Wikipedia biography. Also, most of the sources are clearly not routine - WP:ROUTINE states that routine coverage is things like "wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs" etc. My other points in the previous statement above still stand, but at this point, let's agree to disagree. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 04:42, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
NOTNEWS states routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. This is also reflected in PRIMARYNEWS and in the sources used at PRIMARY. JoelleJay (talk) 04:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly, its not like the sources don't have any secondary coverage (e.g. "the 22-year-old boy was noticed in Kuban, where he became the team's top scorer in the 2006 season and from where he was regularly called up to the Armenian national team. Moving next season to Khimki... seemed like a step forward, but at the peak of his abilities, Zebelyan decided on a desperate step, once again plunging into the abyss of the PFL in the hope of reviving the Sochi Zhemchuzhina. Alas, the new project, despite a promising start, soon sank into oblivion", "the forward Robert Zebelyan, quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" etc). Secondly, every deletion editor's entire arguments is basically repeating "everything is routine" (clearly not true) or "deletion because the "law" said so" (Wikipedia:Wikilawyering) without thinking about why the "law" exists in the first place... the reason the secondary source "law" exists is objectivity, which this article does anyways... if a fair amount of independent, reliable sources, primary or secondary, can produce an objective factual decent sized article about a clear topic of interest, there's no logical reason it should be deleted at all (Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of knowledge, and this article is a "yes" to Wikipedia:The one question). Lastly, For some backwards reason the focus is always on deletion rather than improvement, (but, I hear you say, isn't the whole point of editing Wikipedia to delete others articles?) but I spent hours doing a WP:HEY and vastly expanded the article with the sources. WP:HEY states that it can be "invoked during deletion discussions to point out that an article has been significantly improved since it was nominated for deletion". As one user stated in another deletion discussion, "expansion... renders the above WP:WIKILAWYERING a moot point". Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 08:08, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having some secondary coverage is not sufficient for a source to count towards GNG. And, as explained to you several times, "the forward Robert Zebelyan, quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" comes from a press release, not that a single sentence is worth anything to GNG.
Part of objectivity is maintaining appropriate weight and proportion in an article. Each item derived from routine media is (basically by definition) a WP:MINORASPECT and thus is not encyclopedic to include in the body of an article, which is part of why it doesn't contribute to notability. An article that merely states which teams a subject played for and when, and their basic stats, is just prosifying details from the infobox without adding context from secondary independent RS about why those things are important. Your "expansion" is almost entirely "Zebelyan signed for [team] in [year]" supplemented with non-independently-sourced content: a spot check reveals almost every single fact in the "club career" section is sourced directly to quotes from the subject or affiliates or to press releases. That is not acceptable for any biography, let alone a BLP. JoelleJay (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are you talking about? NPROF? If you follow that guideline at all you would see that I am not a "staunch supporter" whatsoever, however unlike some sports project members I do follow the community consensus on the status and spirit of the guideline and its criteria at AfDs rather than constantly attempting to disrupt its implementation just because I disagree with it. JoelleJay (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Firstly, Responding to JoelleJay's first statement, there are more examples of secondary coverage of this clearly significant topic of interest (at least in Russia and Armenia) (e.g. "In the mid-2000s, Zebelian was considered the terror of all teams of the 1st league of Russia. Having been recognized as the best scorer, Zebelyan also received an invitation from the Armenian national team. Unfortunately, Zebelyan could not stand out at least once during the 7 games he played in the team. And the peak of failures was in 2007. in autumn, it was the match against the Serbian national team, where Zebelyan became one of the anti-heroes of the game together with Ara Hakobyan. Having lost his place in the national team, he could not strengthen himself in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan and is now in search of a new team", "Two Sochi footballers - Manuk Kakosyan and Robert Zebelyan - are talking... the Sochi Zhemchuzhina was twice at the peak of Russian fame: in 1998, it briefly climbed to second place in the major leagues, and ten years later it hit Moscow with a huge banner “We abandoned Beckham” and an invitation from coach Cherchesov... Robert Zebelyan, the forward of the team that disdained Beckham, sells real estate.", "Recently, the striker, who previously played for Sochi Zhemchuzhina and Krasnodar Kuban, signed a two-year contract with Minsk Dynamo... the forward has already been involved in the Armenian national team, playing a total of 7 matches for it in 2006-2008" etc etc), Secondly, The lack of WP:COMMONSENSE is staggering... there is nothing logically wrong with using a primary source is as a reference for a clearly factual and objective statement in the article (e.g. "Born in Sochi, Soviet Union, Zebelyan played different sports as a child, including tennis, before focusing more on football")... for instance, if there was, then e.g. autobiographies would not be allowed to be cited as references for these kinds of statements. Also, using JoelleJay's logic the entire body of e.g. Martin Harnik would be "not encyclopedic to include in the body of an article"... the Wikipedia:WIKILAWYERING must stop. I am not , I just think we should draw the line between this clear topic of interest who was most likely created by someone who believed Zebelyan was notable enough and an e.g. American coach with no sources starting his hike right nw. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 08:39, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The sources identified so far are generally not independent of the subject (lots of quote from Zebelyan himself, plenty of club press releases), and those that are independent do not contain in-depth coverage of the subject. Read the coverage you cite above - he didn't achieve success with the Armenia national football team, and he didn't achieve success in the Russian Premier League (either with Kuban or Khimki). He did well in two of his seasons in the Russian second division, but little else. If we follow the spirit but not the letter of the notability guidelines, I don't think most editors would agree that Zebelyan did enough in his career to be notable without the SIRS coverage we normally require. Jogurney (talk) 16:47, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I never said primary and non-independent sources couldn't be used, but as our policies say an article cannot be based on them. Sportsperson articles are generally very poor in this regard, and Harnik is no exception (although he at least has relatively substantive SIRS articles like this from which to draw independent material). That many sports editors completely ignore content P&Gs is not surprising, but if an article can be written based on SIGCOV and sub-SIGCOV non-routine SIRS then the current status of the page is just a step in the "eventualism" process and can be fixed through editing. JoelleJay (talk) 17:38, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Again, the lack of WP:COMMONSENSE is alarming... deletion editors are so stuck in their own WP:WIKILAWYERING (they are just repeating "our policies say" again and again, like the statement above) that they completely forget the point of the "laws" and Wikipedia itself. The main reason the "laws" were even made to begin with was to combat vandalism, spam, unambiguous self-promotion/advertising, none of which this comprehensive article about a clear topic of interest has, and the main reason Wikipedia was even made to begin with was to be a permanent place of knowledge for topics of interest to people. On top of that, there is a clear difference between a player like e.g. Tiago Quintal or Slaheddine Sebti (both of whom I didn't vote to keep) and a seasoned Armenian international with elite level experience... Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and Wikipedia:The rules are principles state "Use common sense in interpreting and applying policies and guidelines; rules have... exceptions" and "They [the "laws"] must be understood in context, using... common sense and discretion". Again, this article is not completely based on primary coverage (see my statements providing a decent amount of examples above), and there is "context from secondary independent RS" supported by secondary coverage in the article. As for the parts that cite primary coverage, they are clearly factual (.g. "Born in Sochi, Soviet Union, Zebelyan played different sports as a child, including tennis, before focusing more on football"), and former Soviet states tend to have interviews as one of the highest forms of sports coverage compared to other countries (again, context), as shown by significant Soviet league players like Almaz Chokmorov, Valery Reinhold, Leanid Harai, Vladimir Bychek, Viktor Razumovskiy, and Yuri Gladkikh not to mention others. Regarding Zebelyan's achievements (even then, my point is not even about his achievements, he is clearly a topic of interest that warrants a Wikipedia page - for instance, he has Wikipedia pages in 9 languages), he played at at an "elite level" (Jogurney's words, also Russia Premier League is considered a top 10 league in Europe), he was clearly considered an Armenian prospect and an important player in the Russian pro leagues. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:37, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Are you essentially asking us to consider WP:IAR? It's a fair argument. I haven't contributed to this discussion but I'm interested to see how it develops. The article's depth is impressive considering the lack of depth in the coverage. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't call a prose list of the teams he played for "deep"... One could achieve the same article length for a player who bounced around multiple semi-pro teams and gave a couple interviews. JoelleJay (talk) 22:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Once again, the pro-deletion editors are just giving false statements (The article is clearly not "just a prose list of the teams he played for" and he clearly didn't just give a "couple" interviews, and those interviews combined with secondary coverage result in a decent sized comprehensive article about a player clearly considered an Armenian prospect and an important player in the Russian pro leagues) and/or being pedantic without seeing the bigger picture... the main reason the "laws" were even made to begin with was to combat vandalism, spam, unambiguous self-promotion/advertising, clearly none of which this comprehensive, factual, objective article about a clear topic of interest has, and the main reason Wikipedia was even made to begin with was to be a permanent place of knowledge for topics of interest to people.

    How much material can be written on him purely from secondary, independent, non-routine RS that wouldn't just fit in a stats table or infobox? From the body of the article: (Early life) sentence 1 is sourced to source #1, an interview published by his club Dinamo Minsk Red XN. (Club career) sentences 2 & 3: an interview published by source #2, his club Zhemchuzhina-Sochi Red XN; 4: synthesis from a quote by Kakosyan and later statements in interview source #3 Red XN; 5: a quote from #3 Red XN; 6: a quote from the transcript of interview source #4 Red XN; 7: an interview prompt from source #5 Red XN and a quote from source #6, an interview released by his club Red XN (but could be partially sourced to the one secondary sentence in source #9 maybe Green tickY; 8: #7, a routine press release report Red XN; 9: #8, a blog, which should be removed from the article Red XN; 10: [failed verification] #9, a routine post-match interview that does not contain any of the info it's supposed to support Red XN; 11: #9, quotes and interview prompt Red XN; 12: #10, quotes from a routine injury report + interview Red XN; 13: #11 SYNTH/OR from a passing mention in a routine match recap Red XN; 14: from the intro to #5 Green tickY; 15 & 16: quotes from interviews #12 Red XN and #13 Red XN; 17: interview prompt from #5 Red XN; 18: quote from #5 Red XN and intro from #10 maybe Green tickY.

The final 5 sentences are sourced to quotes from interviews #1, 3, and 6 Red XN. The article utterly fails the policy requirement that it be based on secondary sources.

  • Comment-

Even without the primary sources, here is purely secondary coverage, many of which has information not in an infobox ... keep in mind this is not including the primary sources which also provide objective, factual information:

"the 22-year-old boy was noticed in Kuban, where he became the team's top scorer in the 2006 season and from where he was regularly called up to the Armenian national team. Moving next season to Khimki... seemed like a step forward, but at the peak of his abilities, Zebelyan decided on a desperate step, once again plunging into the abyss of the PFL in the hope of reviving the Sochi Zhemchuzhina. Alas, the new project, despite a promising start, soon sank into oblivion", "In the mid-2000s, Zebelian was considered the terror of all teams of the 1st league of Russia. Having been recognized as the best scorer, Zebelyan also received an invitation from the Armenian national team. Unfortunately, Zebelyan could not stand out at least once during the 7 games he played in the team. And the peak of failures was in 2007. in autumn, it was the match against the Serbian national team, where Zebelyan became one of the anti-heroes of the game together with Ara Hakobyan. Having lost his place in the national team, he could not strengthen himself in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan and is now in search of a new team", "Two Sochi footballers - Manuk Kakosyan and Robert Zebelyan - are talking... the Sochi Zhemchuzhina was twice at the peak of Russian fame: in 1998, it briefly climbed to second place in the major leagues, and ten years later it hit Moscow with a huge banner “We abandoned Beckham” and an invitation from coach Cherchesov... Robert Zebelyan, the forward of the team that disdained Beckham, sells real estate", "On January 21, Robert Zebelyan, a former player of the Armenian national football team, underwent an operation in Yerevan. The intervertebral hernia operation was successful, and the football player went to his native Sochi for rehabilitation. Zebelyan played for the last time as part of the Armenian national team in the match against Russia in Yerevan. 2011 since July, he has been playing in "Tobol" of Kazakhstan", "the forward Robert Zebelyan, quite well-known in the post-Soviet space" (I know its from the club, but they ' clearly wouldn't be saying this about any player...), "Robert Zebelyan, the striker of the Armenian national team and "Dynamo" of Minsk, has recently participated very little in his team's matches, but during the preparatory phase and in the first matches of the Belarusian championship, he played an effective game" , "On Saturday, the fans of Minsk "Dynamo" finally felt relieved. First, the team scored after a goalless streak of 403 minutes. Secondly, she won after four rounds since the last victory. Thirdly, it dispelled (so far) the clouds that had already gathered over Oleg Vasilenko. Although minimal, but such a pleasant victory became possible thanks to the goal of the Armenian striker Robert ZEBELYAN... who is still settling in the capital of Belarus", "In 2006, Robert Zebelyan became the most productive player in the first division, scoring 23 goals for Kuban. Now Robert mainly comes on as a substitute in Baltika"...

As for the primary sources, unless you think he is somehow lying or has an "agenda" (both of which clearly aren't true) when he says, among other examples, that he "played different sports as a child, including tennis, before focusing more on football" or that he "initially operated as a defender [as a youth player] before starting to operate as a striker", or "Kuban Krasnodar were initially reluctant to let him play for the Armenia national football team due to the congestion of fixtures in the Russian second tier but they eventually let represent Armenia internationally" (he said this in interviews, and a Kuban Krasnodar official verified it in a separate interview by a separate source), or "However, during the 2007 season, he made significantly less appearances for Kuban Krasnodar due to the manager (Pavlo Yakovenko) trusting him less as the 2007 season began, even after he scored during preseason friendlies" (the journalist interviewing Zebelyan for eurofootball essentially said this) or "Zebelyan's father had to buy his transfer rights so he could play for Zhemchuzhina Sochi" (the journalist asking Zebelyan about this knew about this and was aware of this already, and Zebelyan merely confirmed it) or "Zebelyan has a wife and son", there is no logical reason why these primary sources can't be used for these objective, factual statements that provide background information and can't be found in an infobox (again, context and common sense, its not as if I wrote in the article something based on a quote from him like "Upon arrival to Kuban Krasnodar, the manager told him "you're not part of my plans" ). Another aspect is that former Soviet states tend to have interviews as one of the highest forms of sports coverage compared to other countries like e.g. Indonesia and Vietnam, which tend to have much less straight-up interviews in sports coverage (again, context), as shown by significant Soviet league players like Almaz Chokmorov, Valery Reinhold, Leanid Harai, Vladimir Bychek, Viktor Razumovskiy, and Yuri Gladkikh not to mention others.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... there is not much WP:COMMONSENSE from the deletion side who are missing the point/bigger picture... the main reason the "policy "requirements" were even made to begin with was to combat vandalism, spam, unambiguous self-promotion/advertising, and false information, clearly none of which this comprehensive, factual, objective article about a clear topic of interest has, even with these primary sources, and the main reason Wikipedia was even made to begin with was to be a permanent place of knowledge for topics of interest to people.

On top of that, the fact that, years after his retirement, third party news portals are conducting in-depth interviews of him that go through his entire career, early life, post-playing career etc, show that he is clearly a topic of interest to people and that he was a significant figure in Russian pro league football (not to mention an Armenian prospect).

The entire time I'm using effort to try to improve the article while deletionists are using all their effort to delete this comprehensive article about a clear topic of interest through being pedantic and WP:WIKILAWYERING. (Maybe I'm wrong though... maybe the entire point of editing Wikipedia is deleting others hard work through being pedantic and WP:WIKILAWYERING...).

Using common sense, there is a clear difference between a player like e.g. Tiago Quintal or Slaheddine Sebti (both of whom I didn't vote to keep) and Zebelyan, a seasoned Armenian international with "elite level" (Jogurney's words) experience (Zebelyan plauyed in Russian Premier League, which is regarded as top 10 league in Europe).

Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines and Wikipedia:The rules are principles clearly state "Use common sense in interpreting and applying policies and guidelines; rules have... exceptions" and "They [the "laws"] must be understood in context, using... common sense and discretion".

Furthermore, many times the pro deletion editors like JoelleJay have gave false statements about the article, here are two examples among others by them (others examples explained in my other statements above) -

First example:

Their "Source analysis" of 9: "a routine post-match interview that does not contain any of the info [in the Wikipedia page] it's supposed to support" (the Wikipedia page says "In 2007, he signed for Khimki, where he mainly appeared as a substitute"). However, the journalist author of the source, (also the source is not merely routine), writes in the source, "In 2006, Robert Zebelyan became the most productive player in the first division, scoring 23 goals for Kuban. Now Robert mainly comes on as a substitute in Baltika"

Second example:

Their claim that the article is just "details from the infobox without adding context": Just looking at the first paragraph alone, it states that "Zebelyan scored 23 goals for Kuban Krasnodar, becoming the club's top scorer that season and one of the top scorers of the league that season. However, during the 2007 season, he made significantly less appearances for Kuban Krasnodar due to the manager (Pavlo Yakovenko) trusting him less as the 2007 season began, even after he scored during preseason friendlies. Kuban Krasnodar were initially reluctant to let him play for the Armenia national football team due to the congestion of fixtures in the Russian second tier but they eventually let represent Armenia internationally. During the middle of the 2000s, Zebelyan was considered a consistent goalscoring threat in the Russian second tier.", etc etc among other examples, most of which aren't found in an infobox... I also added context with references (besides above and other examples) like "His first stint for Zhemchuzhina Sochi was only a few years after the club's only spell in the Russian Premier League", "Zebelyan dropped a division to return to Zhemchuzhina Sochi with the aim of resurrecting the club's fortunes, but the club dissolved a few seasons later", "He scored his first goal for Dinamo Minsk during a 1–0 win over Dnepr, the club's first win in four matches and the first goal his team scored after a goalless streak of 403 minutes, and temporarily eased the pressure on then Dinamo Minsk manager Oleg Vasilenko", "In 2008, Zebelyan signed for Baltika Kaliningrad, where he wore the unusual number ninety-nine on his jersey, (the journalist for championat.com wrote that the number was unusual) etc etc among other examples.

Since I doubt you (JoelleJay) will ever change your mind... lets just agree to disagree and leave it to the rest of the community to come to consensus... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 07:30, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

POLICY: Exercise extreme caution in using primary sources. [material from the subject] may be used as a source only if: it is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and the article is not based primarily on such sources.
POLICY: Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability. Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.
POLICY: To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. As explained in § Encyclopedic content above, merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia
POLICY: the great majority of any article must be drawn from independent sources.
NBIO: Primary sources may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward proving the notability of a subject.
N: Independent sources are also needed to guarantee a neutral article can be written
It does not matter that primary/non-independent sources are factual and verifiable or that they provide helpful context. Articles cannot be based on them; they have to be a minority of the content.
1.

Their "Source analysis" of 9: "a routine post-match interview that does not contain any of the info [in the Wikipedia page] it's supposed to support" (the Wikipedia page says "In 2007, he signed for Khimki, where he mainly appeared as a substitute"). However, the journalist author of the source, (also the source is not merely routine), writes in the source, "In 2006, Robert Zebelyan became the most productive player in the first division, scoring 23 goals for Kuban. Now Robert mainly comes on as a substitute in Baltika"

That source does not say anything about him playing for Khimki.
2.

Their claim that the article is just "details from the infobox without adding context"

I specifically said Your "expansion" is almost entirely "Zebelyan signed for [team] in [year]" supplemented with non-independently-sourced content. That is an objective fact: the vast majority of the article comes directly from quotes from the subject.

Even without the primary sources, here is purely secondary coverage,

The plurality of the content you quote comes from the source that Jogurney and I have both pointed out to you is a blog. Claiming it as an example of secondary coverage is deliberately misleading since it is not RS! Another couple large chunks of the quoted "coverage" only contain a combined total of <35 words that are actually directly on Zebelyan. You also still included the quote from the club about him that obviously doesn't count toward SIGCOV. The remaining 4 sources amount to the sole non-trivial piece of coverage, which nevertheless is only 3 sentences; another 3 sentences distributed across 2 sources; and a routine injury announcement almost certainly derived from a press release.

    Frank (and @Oaktree b), the "secondary coverage" quoted by Das Osmnezz above is highly misleading. 6 of the sentences come from a blog; out of the ~70 words in one example, only 13 are actually on Zebelyan; out of the ~75 words in another example, only ~25 are about Zebelyan (in the context of a routine match recap); one example is straight from his club; another two examples contain a combined 3 sentences appearing in the preface to interviews; and 4 sentences are from a routine injury announcement.

I'm not reading your walls of text, keep it short or please stop badgering people here. Oaktree b (talk) 11:59, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
? My comment is just 4 lines on my screen. The even shorter version is: out of the 500 words claimed to be "secondary coverage" above, about half are from a blog or a club press release or don't contain any coverage of Zebelyan. The remainder are distributed across six mostly primary and/or routine sources: 40 words on average. JoelleJay (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So throughout all of the sources, there are several sentences of significant, independent coverage. Per WP:NBIO, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. As you allude to in your response to me, several sources have small amounts of significant, independent coverage. These can be cobbled together to allow Mr. Zebelyan' to be considered notable. Frank Anchor 14:00, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not agree that any of the coverage is significant or even substantial, and anyway most of the sources are primary and/or routine match recaps, injury announcements, or transfer/signing coverage containing the typical 2–5 sentences of career background that accompany such articles, which the community (including some keep !voters here, pre NSPORTS2022) has long dismissed as insufficient to count towards notability. JoelleJay (talk) 16:40, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I don't think it's a violation of BLUDGEONING to ask editors to discuss the sources. There are a number of editors !voting keep in this discussion who simply say the sources look good or meet GNG with no explanation of how that's possible. I, and other editors, have discussed the sources in detail, and they come up woefully short of the GNG. Hopefully, the closer will heavily discount the !votes that claim the available sources are sufficient without any actual discussion of them. (BTW, it's quite obvious which editor has been posting walls of text here repeatedly - they were already admonished by the relisting admin so hopefully they stop.) Jogurney (talk) 12:26, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think its BLUDGEONING to ask about the big picture. Although others (who have discussed the sources), and I think it meets GNG, using WP:COMMONSENSE: even if article "based on" primary, the secondary source "law" exists merely to ensure what article is already: comprehensive, objective, factual and clear topic of interest, no deletion reason. Das osmnezz (talk) 16:37, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
even if article "based on" primary, the secondary source "law" exists merely to ensure what this article already is: comprehensive, objective, factual and a clear topic of interest, no deletion reason The subject is not an objective source on themselves, and primary sources cannot be evaluated for proportionality, so you have no basis for the claim that the article is any of those things. And anyway the secondary coverage requirement does not exist "merely to ensure" an article has those properties: I quoted three separate P&Gs that say primary sources do not establish a topic's notability. You are also completely ignoring the policy that the great majority of any article must be drawn from independent sources and that a description of isolated events, quotes, criticisms, or news reports related to one subject may be verifiable and impartial, but still disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic. This is a concern especially for recent events that may be in the news (a policy that is non-negotiable, and the principles upon which it is based cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus, not to mention NOTNEWS and INDISCRIMINATE. JoelleJay (talk) 17:33, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:RAP, WP:5p, WP:POL, no guideline is "non-negotiable" and "cannot be superseded by other policies or guidelines, nor by editor consensus". Whatever your legalese/pedantic objectivity stance, using WP:COMMONSENSE, unless you think they are lying/have agenda, statements from the subject like "I played different sports as a child, including tennis, before focusing more on football" or "I initially operated as a defender [as a youth player] before starting to operate as a striker" etc are all clearly objective and factual, so even if this article was completely based on primary (which many editors and I refute), there's no reason why in these situations an article can't be based on primary sources.Wikipedia is not a bureacruacy. Whatever your legalese/pedantic notability stance, using WP:COMMONSENSE, the fact that, years after his retirement, third-party portals are giving in-depth interviews of him combined with lots of coverage during his career, secondary or primary, many of which went into his early life, entire career etc, clearly show notability. As one user said, deletionists "have their noses so far into the policies that they can only see them in black and white... there is color, nuance, and even gray areas... Our policies... are not supposed to be rigid". For the last time, lets agree to disagree and leave it to others. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 08:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Participants at AfD that habitually ignore core policy such as WP:V and WP:BLP to bludgeon discussions are causing a lot of disruption, contributing to a (continuing) toxic environment at AfD. Das osmnezz's walls of text here are a perfect example of toxic bludgeoning and ignoring policy. Regardless of the outcome of this particular discussion, there is no way this type of participation should be allowed to continue.
In this case the disruptive editor has already been warned to stop in the relisting comment by an admin, but they have continued (see page history). These bludgeoning walls of text are making any close determination difficult to impossible and is disruptive. Admins need to address this.

  • Most of the sources are promotional interviews, mainly question and answer style interviews. These all fail WP:IS, WP:COISOURCE. Guideline states, "Non-independent sources may not be used to establish notability." None of these can be considered when evaluating a subjects notability.
  • There are two blog style posts that fail WP:RS
  • The remaining are brief mentions failing WP:SIGCOV.
  • The spam keep refs simply serve to show that the subject is not notable.
  • The Keep arguments above are either "Me too" votes or points that fall outside of policy and guidelines, ignore the requirements of BLP which states, "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"', and openly reject the recent consensus regarding the change to NSPORTS.

I see brief mentions of coverage in 3, 14, 16, and 17. Probably more if I have a more thorough look through. Per WP:NBIO, If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. This source analysis therefore solidifies my “keep” vote. Frank Anchor 23:36, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
3 has almost zero secondary commentary. 14 has less than one full independent sentence on him. 16 is one sentence in a report directly from the FC Kuban website (the non-quote material is churnalized too), so fails independence. 17 is less than a sentence ("Forward of the Armenian national football team Robert Zebelyan, who recently replaced Krasnodar Kuban with Khimki near Moscow") prefacing a routine interview.

Seemingly non-notable company in the United Kingdom. Only reference is a link to the company's website; the article has been tagged as needing inline citations (and more references, really) since April 2015. A WP:BEFORE search turned up mostly Wiki mirrors, social media pages, and casual mentions that the group existed - nothing that really fit for WP:GNG. There was a larger addition added, but I had to revert it for WP:COPYVIO, along with an edit from a user that seems to be the group itself. fuzzy510 (talk) 09:02, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear fuzzy510, I am unclear why you have nominated the Artists' Collecting Society page for deletion. As you will be able to see from a google search, the Artists' Collecting Society is one of two collecting societies responsible for administering the Artist's Resale Right (ARR), representing some of the leading artists of the 20th and 21st century. Furthermore, there is a plethora of references to the Artists' Collecting Society in external websites, including but not limited to; UK Government Intellectual Property, British Copyright Council and CISAC. I noticed the page had artists that were out of date and needed to be updated. All of the changes I have made and was in the process of making have been deleted. Please can I ask you to refrain from deleting anything further from the entry, so I can ensure it is fully up-to-date and fully cited. Acsartists (talk) 09:18, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This page clearly needed references, so I looked up two trusted sources: the UK government site Gov.UK and ArtQuest, which is a public programme of University of the Arts London supported by Arts Council England. Now that these references have been added, I do not see any reason why this page should be deleted. The purpose of this article seems to be to explain what ACS does, which is of public interest.

  • Comment A ProQuest Art, Design & Architecture search does turn up a few specialist references: Ben Wright, Art Market: Law and Art in Apollo 166 (2007) "details the Artists' Collecting Society's first year of collecting and paying out the proceeds of artist's resale rights"; Henry Lydiate, Fourth Year Report in Art Monthly 333 (2010) and Artist's Resale Right in Art Monthly 395 (2016) describe ARR and both collecting societies in a fair amount of detail. However, the other collecting society Design and Artists Copyright Society is also a fairly short article whose notability has been queried in the past; given that coverage tends to talk about both together, maybe merging them into an "Artist's Resale Right in the UK" article would work better? Adam Sampson (talk) 15:46, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd have no objection to a merge, but the information ought to be retained somewhere.

  • Delete - I think it is highly questionable whether a newspaper with a small readership is notable.

  • This publication has started a few debates on The Gospel Coalition's website, but I accept that it does not achieve sufficient notability for an article here. Nevertheless, it would be useful for this information to be preserved somewhere, e.g. as I have suggested at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Evangelical Times by transwiki to WikiChristian or Theopedia. – Fayenatic London 15:32, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's possible that I'm misunderstanding something but it appears that the transwiki policy you link to here is about moving pages to other language wikipedias. And the wikis you suggest surely have nothing to do with this project nor need assistance from us. If they haven't already used the relevant pages from en.wiki, I think it is absolutely fine to expect someone there to do their own work without assisting them to do it on non-notable en.wiki subjects. JMWt (talk) 11:44, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Those wikis you mention are completely unrelated to Wikipedia and, to be honest, it is not our job to provide content for them. If they want to write article on these publications, they are free to do so but that shouldn't interrupt our processes. Further, I think there would be issues with them directly importing material from Wikipedia since to do so would require attribution, which in turn would require keeping the history of the article (if I have interpreted that correctly).

The Act is also part of the Hospital Facilities Seismic Safety Act, also called the Alquist Act, and by various other names and citations. The Alquist Act in turn is part of the California Health and Safety Code.

The former short title was the "Hospital Seismic Safety Act", and it actually dates to 1973. The new date of 1983 refers to an amendment that was made in that year: [45].

@Royal88888: there is absolutely not enough coverage. You just posted a bunch of junk links. One of them is about a bicycle - did you even read them? Snowgoons seem notable, Sicknature is not notable outside of the group.

    • Delete - in reply to the above !vote, WP:OSE is seldom a viable argument at AFD. I think you are confused about what constitutes a secondary source. At this early date, journalistic sources are all going to be primary sources as they will only be eyewitness accounts with little in depth analysis (and how valid is any analysis of an ongoing event?) By definition, any accounts made now will lack the in depth analysis required to be secondary due to lack of perspective only time can provide. At best, this is way TOOSOON, rendering this an unnecessary WP:FORK. I was going to !vote merge, but upon closer inspection of the suite of articles on Rutgers, the entire suite needs a ton of work. The mother article is in desperate need of forking (it's longer than articles on major countries for Pete's sake) and it appears someone started doing that at some point. At best, for now this is a couple sentences in either a recent history section or the history article. As where to put it can't even be clearly defined the only viable option is to delete with an option to recreate once time has given perspective on the event. 69.92.163.38 (talk) 22:36, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Was going to abstain from the deletion discussion but I have to dispute some of your points. Secondary sources already exist for the strike action- the Reactions section contains several articles which contextualize the strike and analyze it in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, a left-wards shift in the Democratic Party, and a demonstration of the shifting dynamics of Gen Z. The great majority of strike articles for the past 10 years are nearly-entirely sourced by contemporary articles, and that doesn't discount the depth of their analysis. The 2020 Michigan graduate students' strike, for example, is entirely sourced by "primary sources" written near the dates of their events, and yet it still provides an in-depth and contextualized overview of the subject. I understand being concerned about the shallowness of sources given how recent this event is, but that doesn't automatically discount the existence of well-researched sources just because they aren't written years in retrospect.
      Assuming you meant to write Wikipedia:CFORK, I don't see how any of this article is covered elsewhere on Wikipedia. The Rutgers article is indeed very large, but not atypical when it comes to university articles- the mother article for Rutgers is shorter than that for the University of Florida and Arizona State University, both of which are smaller in terms of enrollment. Even if you look at GA or FA only, Columbia University and Pomona College are less than half the population of Rutgers and have much larger articles. This isn't to imply that they should be cut down either- they are fantastic articles as is and I only bring them up to demonstrate that universities can and benefit from having large articles.

  • Keep for now. WP:NEVENT does not state that events must act as a precedent or catalyst for something else, it just says that events are commonly considered notable if they do. The fact that this is the first strike in the school's history is covered by quite a few sources including CNN, the NY Times (which admittedly is a bit more local), USA Today, etc. This happened after a year of bargaining failed to reach a conclusion, so I do not think WP:NOTNEWS applies here either - the lead-up to the strike is quite significant. WP:SUSTAINED says that Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability, but since the strike has started just recently and has attracted a large amount of comprehensive news coverage, it does meet the WP:GNG. I don't think we are in a position to assess whether the coverage is sustained just yet, however. – Epicgenius (talk) 22:01, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep no valid rationale for deletion provided. In particular, demanding it must demonstrate lasting significance beyond the time and place that it occurred is generally impossible for contemporaneous events, many of which have coverage. Walt Yoder (talk) 18:26, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, even though I understand this is a historic strike to the university (and the first in its history), it is without any doubt that while I absolutely agree on the fact that while we can improve the article, I feel the rationale given to delete this wiki is not justifiable. I also have to agree with many of the points that were given, especially with the extensive news coverage which has made it notable. I do think we can look into deeper analyses on what we can improve, especially to how the unions ended up to striking and the lead up. Remember, there were under negotiations for a long time. However, I feel it is possible we should keep on helping out making it more better down the road. 20chances (talk) 03:56, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Considering it has been widely reported on across the United States (WP:DEPTH and WP:GEOSCOPE) and involves such a large number of people, this strike definitely has great significance. As another has already mentioned, WP:NEVENT merely says Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else and, in fact, specifically says This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable. It is also far too soon to say that the article is not high quality enough to keep. There has been little time for it to be edited yet. Bryce Springfield (talk) 06:31, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    This is national news and you can find numerous instances of this being reported or categorized as such. In addition, many of these articles describe the strike as "historic" or "unprecedented" for US higher education.

Otherwise, the situation looks like a classic case of WP:BLP1E, with sources having no mention of the subject's life after graduation in 2008. The only thing that gives me pause is this 2016 CNN piece [46], which might tend to point to persistant coverage of the sort that overcomes WP:BLP1E. Since I didn't find much else past 2008, and since the CNN piece appears to retread the same ground as the 2008 coverage, I wind up at redirect.

Non-notable "archive" project. No sources in the article whatsoever, and I am unable to find any solid sources or coverage of this website.

  • Merge/redirect to Mystery Science Theater 3000#Fandom per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion as suggested by STEMinfo. Here is a source I found about the subject:
    1. Weiner, Robert G.; Barba, Shelley, eds. (2014). In the Peanut Gallery with Mystery Science Theater 3000: Essays on Film, Fandom, Technology and the Culture of Riffing. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company. pp. 11, 73, 81, 216. ISBN 978-0-7864-4532-5. Retrieved 2023-04-17 – via Google Books.

      The book notes on page 11: "Twenty years after the little puppet show aired and ten years after its cancellation, MST3K is more popular than ever. Riffing has become its own cultural phenomenon. One can find hundreds of websites related to the show, tape and DVD traders abound, and nearly all of the episodes (including some of the KTMA shows which hopefully will see official release someday) are preserved at the Digital Archive Project in varying degrees of quality."

      The book notes on page 73: "The third way of reference-explaining sites blends the collaboration of discussion forums with the ease of use of annotation pages. By allowing anyone to contribute to the site, they avoid the problem of burnout, and draw on the broad base of knowledge of their many contributors. The Distributed MST3K Annotation Project (n.d.) is an offshoot of one of the most popular sites for episode trading, The Digital Archive Project."

      The book notes on page 81: "Even so, several of those Rhino Home DVD releases gently mock the FBI warnings against privacy and unauthorized distribution by adorning them with an image of J. Edgar Hoover that has been festooned with graffiti, a choice which is yet another example of their tendency to "scribble in the margins" (see Figure 1). They have even turned a blind eye to the virtual tape traders using peer-to-peer sharing software at the Digital Archive Project, so long as episodes that are available for purchase on either DVD or VHS remain unavailable for download ("Digital Archive Project FAQ" 2002)."

      The book notes on page 216: "While I have said that the "circulation" of MST episodes is today dominated by the "second stage" web vendors, it might already be more accurate to say that most new fans actually obtain their episodes through the Digital Archive Project (DAP), a fan collective which aims to make all MST episodes available at all times through bitTorrent, a hugely popular program which allows users to share files with, essentially, anyone online."

Fails to meet WP:NLIST as WP:NOTDIRECTORY. The Anonymous Earthling (talk) 08:32, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge [was "Speedy Keep"]. There is no cause for having AFD discussion here. NLIST requirements are met by "railway stations" being a thing, and it being fine for Wikipedia to have a worldwide list of notable ones, and the world-wide list can be split. Merger to List of railway stations in Pakistan or maintaining split is merely an editing matter for discussion at, probably best, Talk:List of railway stations in Pakistan, with a regular wp:MERGE discussion. Also this is a list of existing Wikipedia articles, so it simply is fine for them to be listed. Maybe they should not be separate articles, and I think it would rather be better for this one to include a table with photos and some or all of the info in the currently separate articles. But merging all of these back to "List of railway stations in Muzaffargarh" is also merely a simple matter of editing / merger proposal. Stop this nonsense and end this AFD before others have to consider the preferred level of merges vs. splits of content. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 05:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I changed my !vote above, as Speedy Keep no longer timely. Why was this not closed, long ago? "Speedy Keep" with trout or other chastisement to the deletion nominator would have been best. Deletion nominations about sections of worldwide lists (accepted by NLIST or whatever criteria) should be immediately stopped, by admin intervention. Questions of merging or splitting lists are for editors to consider at Talk pages. There is no way in hell that it makes sense for AFD processes to decide to delete just one geographical area section out of a list-system. If you hate the list-system as a whole, you can take that on, but probably better as an RFC than a multiple page deletion nomination. However, per Clarityfiend's comment, I gather this list overlaps with List of railway stations in Pakistan#Punjab (i.e. there's partial duplication both ways, the two lists seem not to be informed about each other) so it does make sense to merge/recombine the lists. But it also is fine for any editor to split out that list into smaller geographic areas, especially if they will have developed the list to provide more information, photos, coordinates, etc. None of this is for AFD to be deciding. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 19:50, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No significant coverage to meet WP:ORG. LibStar (talk) 00:38, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I’ve added five refs. I don’t see a huge amount of in-depth coverage, but the museum has a scholarly catalogue and is referenced in many books. Mccapra (talk) 03:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Whilst new sources are welcome. I'm not sure some of them meet WP:SIGCOV:
    - This one [51] is about the Babungo Mask. The word museum (musee in French), appears only on 1 line.
It tells us that this museum contains 3,000 objects. Mccapra (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
still not WP:SIGCOV. LibStar (talk) 06:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • - This one [52] I'm not sure it's indepth coverage, just single mentions of "Babungo" in a book.
It demonstrates that there is a catalogue. Mccapra (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • - This one [53] again not indepth, merely refers to 2 pictures of the museum.
Well it’s all we can see because of google book restrictions, but plainly the work covers material about the design and building of this museum. Mccapra (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Is the description of the design and building of this museum, somewhere in text in this book? LibStar (talk) 06:36, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • - this one [54], a 1 word mention of Babungo in a 11 page document. LibStar (talk) 04:28, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it describes the background and context of the creation of museums in Cameroon, makes clear why this particular region was important, and describes how and why thus museum (and others) were established. Mccapra (talk) 06:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not WP:SIGCOV as it does not specifically refer to this museum except once. If there was a Museums in Cameroon article, then yes. LibStar (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I’ve added four refs. There’s more. Mccapra (talk) 03:59, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Whilst new sources are welcome, I'm not sure they meet WP:SIGCOV:
    - This one [55] has a single mention of Baham in 11 pages.
No, it describes the background and context of the creation of museums in Cameroon, makes clear why this particular region was important, and describes how and why this museum (and others) were established. Mccapra (talk) 06:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • - This one [56] is merely a book sale listing from the catalogue of the museum.
Yes it shows that the museum has a published scholarly catalogue Mccapra (talk) 06:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • - This one [57] appears to be small 1 line mentions 3 or 4 times of the museum.

The article is about four museums in Cameroon, one of which is this one. It is discussing what they have in common so literally the entire article is about it and its three sister museums. Mccapra (talk) 06:20, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as sources have been found by Mccapra. Yes, we can be all pernickity and complain that the sources don't discuss these museums in the depth we would expect of a Western developed source discussing a Western major regional museum, but we're doing a big disservice to museums and the spread of human knowledge if we delete without judging the institution in its regional context. There is no benefit to our reader or to Wikipedia in deleting this article, and there is hope that, in time, it will grow and contribute to an area that Wikipedia currently covers rather poorly.

Does not appear to satisfy WP:NFF, which says "films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 00:27, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and Film. &n--DisneyMetalhead (talk) 02:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)bsp;— Archer1234 (t·c) 00:27, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify: article does not meet WP:NFF. Incubate in draft space and use AfC to ensure an adequate review is conducted prior to moving to main space.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 00:33, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either keep or draftify. If the first two movies were notable enough for articles then it is almost certain that this one will be too. This already has some coverage so maybe it is already eligible for an article. If not, it can be moved to a draft. The one thing we don't want to do is delete it and waste the effort that has already gone into it. --DanielRigal (talk) 01:31, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft Should be draftified until we get better sourcing. Filming has barely started, that's about the extent of the coverage.
Oaktree b (talk) 01:34, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are now various notable sources stating that it has started filming. I have added some. Rather than deleting the article, let's add more sources. DisneyMetalhead (talk) 02:19, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per WP:ATD-I. I wish that option had been exercised before coming here since it hadn't yet. Now my talk page has been tainted thanks to the over-zealous move of another editor... Oh well. I concur with the nom. the production is not notable at this point. It has been filming for two days, and the source of the only coverage is not independent since it really comes from the studio, nor significant (can be summed in two words: "filming started"). It is good as a verifiable source of info, but not to confer a notable production. -2pou (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Struck my !vote above. Several sources have been added, but they're pretty much just the same thing from different outlets. The latest addition at least expands on the PR license plate pic ever so slightly, but I don't know if an update to a "weak keep" is worthwhile. Either way, though, I have a do not delete stance since it can be sent back to draft for now, should consensus lean against keeping. -2pou (talk) 20:27, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as there are now multiple reliable sources that have stated that principal photography has commenced. I have added a number of them to the article.

The criteria for unreleased films that have already started principal photography is stated at WP:NFF, which says:

films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines.

  • Draftify. May return to mainspace after it receives enough coverage and is released. Aintabli (talk) 06:30, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - well sourced, notable. TheMovieGuy
  • Keep Filming has started, no point in transfering it to draft now since the sources pass GNG.★Trekker (talk) 12:35, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. 24.52.114.138 (talk) 13:21, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How does it satisfy WP:NFF?  — Archer1234 (t·c) 13:36, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft per the rules stated above. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:43, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Filming has started and there are enough sources to pass WP:GNG. Little point in draftifying now. --woodensuperman 10:26, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with several new sources added, including sources on the production. -WikiPete18 (talk) 19:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
