This list is an outlier. There is no other article titled "List of investments by..." Most companies make a fantastical number of investments, since that it is the very nature of business.

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. Almost every source cited is either a primary source or an obituary, neither of which can be used to establish notability. The only secondary source cited contains only two sentences about the subject of this article; this is not significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV). I can't find any examples of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. This article was nominated for deletion before but was kept because one of her stories was included in an anthology that featured a number of notable writers; however, since Wikipedia does not recognize 'notability by association', this is not a reason to keep the article. It should also be noted that not every author featured in this anthology has a Wikipedia page. JMB1980 (talk) 22:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. A search found no reliable sources that show notability. The only obits that turned up were on blogs or in unknown pubs.

    An encyclopedia is a tertiary source. Secondary sources are needed to prove notability. JMB1980 (talk) 20:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Encyclopedia articles are based on primary or secondary sources. If based on primary sources, then the entry is a secondary source. If based on secondary sources, then it's proof of the existence of secondary sources. pburka (talk) 20:47, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, then the Wikipedia page should cite some of these secondary sources.JMB1980 (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Please review WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:BLUDGEON. pburka (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JMB1980, before you bring up any more AfDs you need to study Wikipedia policies and guidelines. In particular, the no original research policy states point blank that "Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and avoid novel interpretations of primary sources." So yes, Wikipedia policy states that both secondary and tertiary sources can be used to establish notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:USETERTIARY. It is, in fact, you who lacks knowledge of Wikipedia guidelines and policies. JMB1980 (talk) 15:45, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:USETERTIARY isn't a Wikipedia policy or guidelines. It's an essay. At the top of the essay it even says "This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines." And then in the essay's first paragraph there's a link to the Wikipedia:No original research § Primary, secondary and tertiary sources policy I referenced above. I don't know what else to say if you can't tell the difference between an essay and actual Wikipedia policies and guidelines.--SouthernNights (talk) 16:01, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PSTS: 'Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources'. WP:GNG: '"Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability'. Wikipedia clearly gives more weight to secondary sources. JMB1980 (talk) 17:55, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No one if arguing against secondary sources being preferred. However, tertiary sources can be used in articles and to prove notability. Also worth noting that almost all the sources shared below proving the subject's notability are secondary sources, including the entry about the subject in the St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers.--SouthernNights (talk) 19:40, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers looks to be a tertiary source None of them appear to be secondary sources except for the ones that mention her in one or two sentences. JMB1980 (talk) 01:00, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no such policy and they absolutely do count towards notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 14:14, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I didn't realize until now that JMB1980 created the original AfD on A. R. Morlan in March 2022 and, after that discussion achieved a nearly unanimous consensus to keep, created this AfD just over a year later. Yes, there is no clear Wikipedia policy against doing this (while speedy keep states an AfD can be closed if an editor makes "nominations of the same page with the same arguments immediately after they were strongly rejected in a recently closed deletion discussion," a year doesn't count as immediately). However, the same editor bringing an article up for AfD after it was overwhelming kept a year before strikes me as going against the spirit of AfD discussions.--SouthernNights (talk) 16:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Considering the article was kept based almost entirely on a 'notability by association' argument, and more than a year later still didn't cite a single quality secondary source, a second nomination was warranted. JMB1980 (talk) 20:39, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong. The previous discussion was very clear with editors agreeing with the multiple reliable sources shared by Beccaynr that proved the subject's notability. That's why so many of the editors referenced the info shared by Beccaynr. Instead of listening to that clear consensus you brought this article up for a new AfD. Almost as if you were shopping around for a different outcome. That's not how the AfD process works.--SouthernNights (talk) 21:12, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Then changes should have been made to the article to bring it into compliance with WP:GNG guidelines. JMB1980 (talk) 15:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As it states in Wikipedia guidelines, "notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." Notability of an article's subject exists separate from the state of the article.--SouthernNights (talk) 16:18, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
True, but I haven't seen any examples of significant coverage in quality secondary sources, inside or outside of this article's citations. I've only seen primary sources, tertiary sources and reviews of an anthology that only include one or two sentences about her. JMB1980 (talk) 18:04, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I said above, almost all the sources I shared proving notability are secondary sources, including the reviews in Publishers Weekly, Cemetery Dance, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Locus Magazine and the entry about her in St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers. The Gale Literature: Contemporary Authors entry for the subject is a tertiary source but that can still be used in the article and to prove notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 19:44, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The only Cemetery Dance page about her that I could find was a blog, Publisher's Weekly only had one sentence about her, I couldn't find anything for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and she was published in Locus Magazne, meaning it isn't independent of the subject of the article. JMB1980 (talk) 01:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Locus Magazine is the leading criticism magazine of the SF/F genre and absolutely independent of the subject. She wasn't published in the magazine -- they published her obituary. With regards to your comment above about St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers, that entry contains "analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources," as described under secondary sources at Wikipedia:No original research. That means it's a secondary source. Same with regards to Cemetery Dance, F&SF, and all the other citations people have shared. I am done discussing this with you b/c your level of misunderstanding everything everyone says is astounding.--SouthernNights (talk) 11:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia defines tertiary sources as 'publications such as encyclopedias or other compendia that sum up secondary and primary sources'; that seems to fit St. James Guide to Horror, Ghost & Gothic Writers. The Cemetery Dance was a blog post, and blogs aren't reliable sources. I still don't know what the F&SF source is. JMB1980 (talk) 17:02, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contested redirect. Zero in-depth coverage from independent, reliable, secondary sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NTOURS. Onel5969 TT me 12:05, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Faith in the Future World Tour is a notable concert tour. It has received significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources of note, including: NME, Billboard, Rolling Stone, Music Week, and more. Twitter-only citations have been updated and replaced with better, more reliable sources.
Additionally, this tour is also noteworthy and unique for its size (number of shows) and reach (number of countries visited). For example, this tour will have shows in Bulgaria, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, and other countries which have historically not been included in international tours by pop artists. Lastly, this tour is also in support of the associated album, Faith in the Future, which reached #1 in the United Kingdom (out-selling Bruce Springsteen's new album). Nina369 (talk) 07:47, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore redirect to Faith in the Future and add Tour section. Probably WP:NOTADVERT and WP:MILL, which sources are derived from announcements, unless theres reviews anywhere from secondary sources. So restore the redirect (for now), unless sources have been found.

I am unable to find evidence that this organization meets WP:NORG. There are approximately 100 news results that turn up in a search: every one that I have checked is a passing mention. This is the best source I've found so far, but it's far from enough. If a reasonable merge target can be found, I do not oppose a merger. Vanamonde (Talk) 22:44, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • There are several other references in the article that User:Vanamonde93 overlooked; specifically [1], [2] and [3] a comparison of responses from five states facing the problem of sudden institution closure. Many states do little or nothing to help their residents with this problem; Georgia has a comprehensive plan that seems to be working. Mgrē@sŏn (Talk) 23:31, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I didn't overlook them; I skimmed the first two (all I can do before the paywall locks me out) but that's quite enough to see they're not substantive with respect to this topic. Similarly, the 47-page report that is the third link essentially states one fact about the GNPEC. There is no evidence of WP:SIGCOV here. Vanamonde (Talk) 02:13, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree that this article needs work to assert notability. I suggest the primary author point out exactly which articles are significant coverage to pass WP:GNG. Unfortunately, I do not see them at this time. Flibirigit (talk) 01:53, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge‎ to WWE as well as Endeavor (company). The OTHERSTUFF arguments were given very little weight as was any snark about people not being "real fans". I considered the draftify arguments, but found that much of their worries would be satisfied by this being a section of the parent articles that is worked on and gets spun off in the future when there is more coverage.

@ItsKesha Stop trying to influence the opinion of others please, you act like a new fan and have zero respect for historic events like these. Dilbaggg (talk) 03:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ItsKesha I took a second look, you are not disputing the notability I see, then ok I am sorry, your main concern is that its too soon but the process has been initiated and the deal finalized per corporate laws, and thus this historic article must stay. Best wishes. Dilbaggg (talk) 04:57, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep WWE founded as WWWF in 1963 by Vince J, later bought by Vince K in 1982 had been run for 40 years under him 1982-2022. He made the company public in 1999 the same year I started watching. It is the largest professional wrestling organization in the world and UFC is the largest Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) organization in the world and a merger between these two Kingpins of combat sports is one of the most WP:Notable and is supported by numerous WP:RS and historic event ever in the history of wrestling, MMA and sports in general. This should definitely stay and be seen as a landmark in both Wrestling and MMA projects as well as corporate merger and acquisition, with Endeavor owning 51% shares, first time the McMahons have minority shares and now the means of operations are going to be different. This is highly significant to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling. Best wishes all. Dilbaggg (talk) 03:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    that's all great, but this is still just a proposed merger. It hasn't been approved by anyone yet. Nswix (talk) 04:38, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The deal has been done and is set to be effective soon, there is no backing out of the commitment with Endeavor will pay $ 9.1 billion and becoming 51% of the shareholder. This is corporate law and there is no backing out, just because some people perceive it not being complete doesn't change anything, it is an unfolding event, and there is no backing out of the deal as per corporate law ans the process has been initiated and updates will continue to be added to the article. Dilbaggg (talk) 04:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What 'corporate law' are you talking about that supercedes the need for both shareholders of Endeavor and WWE need to vote to approve the deal and for regulators to sign-off on the merger? Nswix (talk) 05:06, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The process has already been initiated and will be finalized on the 2nd half this year, and there is no backing out and this is all supported by WP:RS and meets WP:Notable guidlines so it should be left alone, anyway i already gave my vote, best wishes. Dilbaggg (talk) 05:18, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - If the editor proposing this deletion put more effort into reading my words than planning a snarky comeback, they would see that I specified that there are sufficient sources (and, thus, sufficient content) for this specific event to have an article. As such, I'm saying that the proposal to keep the information in other articles is not the best path forward. This editor is pushing for deletion based on an essay. I'm pushing for inclusion based on GNG. If the editor prefer essays (although closing administrators won't find them as compelling), they could check out WP:POTENTIAL. Certainly, regardless of how the even turns out, the acquisition has already got significant mainstream coverage, with a reasonably certain guarantee of a significant amount of mainstream coverage to come. However, even in its current state, it more that meets the threshold for a stand-alone article. Further, I would suggest that a closing administrator might be wise to look at the conduct of the proposing editor and consider whether they are not here to build an encyclopedia, comparing their hostile editing style (both in their responses here and in their long-term conduct on Wikipedia) against WP:NOTHERE and paying particular attention to such items as "Treating editing as a battleground", "Little or no interest in working collaboratively", and "Major or irreconcilable conflict of attitude or intention". Perhaps this will reveal that an indefinite block is long overdue. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm pushing for deletion on the basis that there is simply not enough information to necessitate a content fork. If the editor questioning this had put more effort into reading 30 words he would understand this. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 21:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    In saying that, I also find proposals for a merge highly acceptable. How's that for working in collaboration. All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 21:33, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There's enough here to satisfy notability requirements. Although the merger isn't yet finalized, this is already an independently notable story regardless of what comes next.LM2000 (talk) 06:33, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    There's currently six paragraphs of information, three of which are two sentences or fewer in length. I'm not arguing whether it's notable enough for inclusion, so do you think this is enough information at present to warrant a content fork? All my warmest wishes, ItsKesha (talk) 21:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather have a short one paragraph summary on the parent articles with a main article link to this one, as opposed to including this level of detail on the parent articles. A merge would not be the end of the world at this point but I think it would be pointless as eventually another article will created to detail further developments. I'm in the weak keep camp, my secondary choice would be to draftify.LM2000 (talk) 09:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Endeavor_(company)#UFC–WWE_merger. Sure, this news event has enough coverage to pass GNG, but this coverage is also notability for Endeavor (company) and WWE. As most of this page is redundant background and redundant to Endeavor_(company)#UFC–WWE_merger, I see no reason for a duplicative page that per WP:NOPAGE does not need a standalone article. Reywas92Talk 17:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment @ItsKesha's main objection is that he finds this Wp:Too Soon, but thats his views, there are plenty of information and this meets WP:Notable,, WP:V, Wp:RS and all major encyclopedic guidelines. This is a historic event in not just WWE but pro wrestling in general, a merger with UFC might even bring irl shoot fight style wrestling in WWE similar to Brawl For All. The largest wrestling promotion being sold is historically significant and that is acknowledged throughout the pro wrestling world and deserves its own article. This article is as significant as Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney and has changed the wrestling event forfever. The corporate sale has been reached Endavour would hold 51% shares and higher voting power, it is a significant and historic change, please ItsKesha learn to respect history and also you did agree on the WP:Notability of this but just feel its too soon, but the deal is confirmed and the more things go the more they will be added in compliance with WP:RS and this is indeed a great encyclopedic material.

    I've read the GNG several times. At no point does GNG say that the coverage needs to be outside of a single news cycle. The only time coverage is mentioned in GNG is the following sentence: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." At no point does it say anything like what you claim it does. --Jayron32 17:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In reality, this article's creation probably should have waited a week or so in terms of WP:NOTNEWS, but that does not mean it should be deleted now. Looking at sources just from today since some time has passed, the largest cattle death toll in Texas history for an accident[4] and the country's largest such accident[5] is kind of a big deal in terms of NEVENT The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". The sources are already making that case. In terms of sustained coverage, agriculture sources are still covering this, so that alleviates initial SUSTAINED concerns I had when I first saw this AfD that had me on the fence.

Nouns DAO

The subject of this article is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAO, a kind of business venture on a blockchain. The purpose of the venture is to sell non-fungible tokens or NFTS representing nouns (that is, words identifying things) as digital art. The business concept is described on this web site: https://www.noundation.wtf/intro/nouns-cc0#nouns-flywheel which can be seen to be a self-inflating financial bubble. Since this is a business venture, the applicable notability guideline is corporate notability, and this article does not satisfy it, because none of the coverage is independent and significant.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACADEMIC. Much of the article is cited to a Burlington County Medical Society publication of which the subject was a member. The source lacks independence from the subject. The other sources are two publications on the History of Butte County in which his son was a prominent judge. The coverage in both is really more related to giving a biographical background of his son and he is not the main subject. In my opinion, none of these sources indicate that subject was independently notable from his son, and none rise to the level of in-depth independent significant coverage that we require to pass WP:SIGCOV. Further, his career as a physician doesn't appear to have been remarkable in any way. 4meter4 (talk) 18:38, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Two of the three sources are principally about his son, Charles Fayette Lott. I was commenting on the sources BD2412 not on the prose in the article. I meant to write son not father earlier, and have corrected the text accordingly. 4meter4 (talk) 18:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well I have now added an easily found additional source that is principally about the subject and independent of them, and contains all of the information documented in the source you assert lacks independence, so you can withdraw this WP:BEFORE-lacking nomination. Cheers! BD2412 T 19:00, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I would consider this one source with independent significant coverage. We need multiple sources with independent significant coverage to pass GNG. I am not persuaded.4meter4 (talk) 19:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The 1918 source, while primarily on the son, has objectively extensive enough coverage of the father. BD2412 T 19:12, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There certainly is content in the sources on his son, but I wouldn't consider it significant coverage. By all accounts so far he seems to have been a rather ordinary physician with a rather ordinary life. There are many medical professionals, and many who have served in the military. What makes this particular person encyclopedic? What is his claim to notability? At this point the only thing I am seeing is the family connection with his son and the other Lott family members. Perhaps a larger article on the family, which seems to have been the topic of more sources, would be more appropriate rather than an individual article on this particular member of the Lott family?4meter4 (talk)
I would consider raising a cavalry company and directing a military medical facility during a fairly major early American war to suffice on its own. BD2412 T 21:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Before I nominated the article, I did searches in google books, JSTOR, EBSCOE, and my university library search engine.

Procedural relist as an article that was PRODded twice, first in 2008 and then in 2023. The two rationales were:

Armoured fist is a symbol used by some armoured formations, but its notability is already reflected in those articles. It does not constitute a cavalry or an armoured doctrine or tactic despite the suggestion in the article

Article has had no references since its creation 19 years ago. It is little more than a stub and not WP:NPOV

Stats stub with no evidence of WP:SPORTBASIC. Please note that Szabolcs Foci Info is about a different footballer to the one subject to this article as the article mentions him being 34 years old. Best I can find are Vasas FC, match report coverage, Eger SE, a Q&A with no independent analysis, and Jászberény, a transfer announcement written by his former employer. None of these meet the requirements of SPORTBASIC in terms of depth and none of these are reliable sites, in fact all our team sites and SPORTBASIC says team sites are generally not regarded as independent of the subject so such coverage cannot be used to claim notability.

  • leaning delete From a US perspective this looks like a neighborhood, not a village unto itself. As a rule standards for neighborhoods are high and they need to be notable in their own right. At this point this place doesn't meet that. Mangoe (talk) 00:16, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I initially thought Mangoe may have been right, but actually this appears not to be the case. It has a council-erected nameboard, which simple neighbourhoods of other towns or villages do not have in the UK. This indicates recognition as a separate settlement and it is therefore notable per WP:GEOLAND. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:07, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*Delete The source mentioned above It has a council-erected nameboard, is the strongest source for this subject and I trust Necrothesp did a complete BEFORE. Fails GNG and GEOLAND.  // Timothy :: talk  03:38, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • My point is that this means it passes WP:GEOLAND! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:21, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      I know and I agree its the strongest source for the subject which is why I !v Delete.  // Timothy :: talk  10:27, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      But if it passes WP:GEOLAND it is notable! It doesn't need any further coverage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      according to WP:GEOLAND! "Populated places without legal recognition are considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG. Examples may include subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, etc. – any of which could be considered notable on a case-by-case basis, given non-trivial coverage by their name in multiple, independent reliable sources. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it." - so in this case, Ansley Common is far from notable and would as said be best covered in Nuneaton as a suburb. DragonofBatley (talk) 20:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Ansley, Warwickshire. I don't see the council sign as being sufficient to pass WP:GEOLAND. Ansley Common appears on Ordnance Survey mapping in the early 20th century as mining cottages associated with the nearby Ansley Hall Colliery. Current mapping shows it to be conjoined to Nuneaton in a ribbon development. However, it's officially in North Warwickshire Borough and part of Ansley civil parish as can be seen on the map download here.[11] Rupples (talk) 22:11, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Apologies. The map shows it's in the North Warwickshire ward of Arley and Whitacre, which covers Ansley. Rupples (talk) 22:22, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page is heavily unsourced, from reading a lot of WP:original research, doesn't have any historical significance and also fails WP:Notability. I propose either a deletion of the article, it merged into Nuneaton or Attleborough or it deleted altogether. It doesn't seem to be like Hawkesbury Village proposal one as this place has no manor or early history. DragonofBatley (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm really sorry, I don't think this can be deleted, despite there not being much to write about it. Per WP:GEOLAND, populated, legally-recognised places are presumed to be notable. The briefest of Google searches reveals that Whitestone has a surgery with that name, a post-office with that name, is regarded as a safe place by the Coventry Telegraph referring to it by that name[13] and is the name of a ward within Nuneaton with a very worthy and respectable-looking councillor. I would advocate removing all the OR content and reducing it to a stub including the geographical information, pending anyone finding anything useful that can be said about it based on sources, but since our North American colleagues would find it to be more than an uninhabited railway siding in Ohio, the article itself is a keep.

Hi, my name is Victor Nirennold, and I am reaching out to request your assistance in deleting a Wikipedia page about myself that I did not create. While I appreciate the recognition, I believe that my notability does not warrant a Wikipedia page, and I kindly propose that the page be removed on those grounds.

As a retired professional football player who has transitioned to a completely different field, this page has been causing me more harm than good. Recruiters continue to bring up my past profession during job interviews, and unfortunately, they often hold onto various stereotypes. Despite trying to eliminate any trace of my prior career online, this page has been a persistent source of frustration.

Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 19:02, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - player played professionally for a long time in seven different countries and its not like deleting this page will cause no one to know hes a former pro footballer by googling his name. googling his name gives pages upon pages of results saying hes a pro footballer. in fact, his career seems to be on-going as of the fact he signed for Gloucester City two months ago and has since played 8 times during the last 2 months. its not like the page has a personal life section saying he did a bunch of crime or anything. theres no reason any employer would hate him for it and if he were to be applying for coaching roles playing in seven different countries would surely be quite the benefit. similar for other roles outside football really, working in so many countries seems like a benefit. also no proof hes the player in question...with a username named after robinhoMuur (talk) 20:06, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks I understand you are right it will not fully disappear from the internet that I used to play pro football but it will already help me a lot as wikipedia is a main website and that is the first website that anybody would check for references.
    My professional career is now already over I retired a year ago and Gloucester City is an amateur part-time football team where I play for leisure it should not even be mentioned on the page.
    I'm now a software developer, I work in the IT field, and I'm sorry to disagree with you but this page has been nothing but deserving me, there is no benefit at all on me having my name mentioned on it, as it has been brought up to me several times by recruiters that I should delete this page if possible.
    And to finish I am the player in question I can send you my ID's in private or whatever else you want to prove that it is me and makes the process easier. Robinho35 (talk) 22:03, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
even if it is you as the actual player... i dont think wikipedia works that way? like, if donald trump came and was like delete my page cuz of all the controversies listed on his page hed get laughed at. he/you are a celeb that has played nearly 200 games professionally in 7 different countries. you/he was playing in the spl only a year ago. deleting this wont do anything, there are still the thousands of pages about you/him. also, playing for a semi pro team is still relevant. lots of players from the lower leagues go on loan there for example. some teams in that division are even pro. if you admit youre still playing for them, your playing career isnt actually even over. what are you even saying in these interviews, that you just magically spawned age the age of 32 you kinda have to bring up you played/play football for 20+ years? even if you dont bring it up, which you really should, a 5 second google will find you whether youre on wikipedia or not. wouldn't you have to disclose that youre still being paid to play football? if if this was deleted, google images will show your face playing football to anyone who puts your name in.Muur (talk) 22:23, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article was AfD'd by MaxnaCarta back in November, resulting in a soft delete due to only participation by two editors. However, the same issues still apply, so I am simply going to copypaste their nominating rationale, "Non-notable WWE wrestler. Article contains only two primary references, one is from the WWE, and the other is just a database profile. Per WP:NSPORT, wrestlers are classified as entertainers and not sportspeople. This WWE wrestler has not had significant roles in multiple notable films, TV shows, performances, or productions. Nor has she made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. There is also no significant coverage in any reliable, secondary sources. All sourcing I can find is linked directly to the sport of wrestling and routine in nature. There is no mention of this subject in any media not linked to her time at the WWE, and as wrestling is not a recognised sport for notability purposes, she fails both the applicable WP:ENTERTAINER criteria, and the general notability guideline which requires significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject."

Why would something have to be mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia or already have an article here in order to qualify for notability?

  • Keep: When I first looked at this, I thought this was a good faith but poorly timed AfD; it was undersourced, but new and since then sources have been added. I still think it was a good faith AfD, but based on the author's sources above and in the article, their editing experience,[35] and their obvious language skill, I think this is a keep. Based on their clear and concise response, I trust that this author did the needed BEFORE and found the subject notable. If they had written a wall of text as often happens, I'd have passed on reading it, but they presented a (much appreciated) concise and direct response. If someone with the needed language skills can dispute the sources above, you’re are welcome to ping me; my first question will be if you have the language skills and access to evaluate the author’s response.  // Timothy :: talk  08:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article created due to playing less than one minute in the professional second tier of Portugal before dropping down into the semi-pro and, later, amateur tiers. According to Correio dos Açores, which is a trivial mention only, he was playing in the amateur fifth tier Liga Meo Azores in 2019 and I can't find any more recent mention of Besugo. In my searches, including those in conjunction with clubs he played for as well as searching for "Hugo Sá Tavares", I could only find Sapo, another trivial mention.

There's no evidence of notability in the sources on the internet, which mention Pais only in passing without any particular focus on him, or name him along with others in cast lists etc. He doesnt satisfy WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNGACTOR criteria. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 01:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BoyTheKingCanDance. I am grateful for your help with the page. Its improvements are all thanks to your attention. As I hope you can see, Pais does satisfy all three criteria. He's been lauded in the New York Times ("at once irrepressible and oddly vulnerable"), interviewed by Playbill, podcast-profiled at BroadwayWorld. He's a leading actor in a forthcoming series based upon a best-selling and much-lauded work (Three Women), and made his debut as one of four leads in a movie (Margot at the Wedding) by one of the US's leading filmmakers, Noah Baumbach. In just the five days the page has been available—and so far as I can tell it does not yet feature in Google results—page views have averaged around 75 per day, with yesterday coming in at 87: that is, Pais is an actor about whom Wiki users are curious. I myself made the page after seeing his work in Margot: I was curious to follow the progress of such a talented young performer. With Three Women set to premiere this year, interest in Pais will only increase. I think the current incarnation of the page demonstrates his notability—and once again I appreciate your help with the entry. Zoidbergmd (talk) 04:12, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person notable only for winning a student educational competition. This is not "inherently" notable enough to clinch inclusion in Wikipedia if it's all that can actually be said about him, and just makes him a WP:BLP1E rather than a person who has earned a permanent place in an international encyclopedia -- and furthermore, Wikipedia has a rule that due to the potential of a Wikipedia article to cause harm (e.g. becoming a magnet for vandalism or attack editing), we have to be especially vigilant and strict about the notability of minors.

  • Comment: no objection to a Redirect to Assassination of Ziaur Rahman.  // Timothy :: talk  12:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Matiur Rahman is notable only for assassinating President Ziaur Rahman, but WP:ONEEVENT doesn't say we shouldn't have a stand alone article about someone notable for only one event, it says we should consider how significant the event was, and how substantial their role in it was. The assassination was a highly significant event within the history of Bangladesh. The evidence that Matiur Rahman's role in it was substantial is shown by reliable sources, which say things like: "Lt.Col. Matiur Rahman and Lt.Col. Mahboob - the two officers who played a vital role in the operation at the Circuit House where Zia was killed", "Lt Col Motiur Rahman ... one of the main actors on the anti-Zia team", "Col. Matiur Rahman and Lt. Col. Mahbub, who were allegedly among the coup leaders".
Not only is he one of only 2-3 of the dozen or more conspirators that historical scholarship bothers to highlight by name, those sources go into a bit of detail about his background, motivation, and actions in planning the event. His biography is understandably truncated, since he was in turn killed three days after the assassination, but it is not a permastub, pseudo-biography, or a mere rehash of Assassination of Ziaur Rahman. Indeed, it is much better sourced and written than that article, and should not simply be redirected away. I've added to his biography's talk page several reliable sources (particularly the book by Moudud Ahmed) that could be used to improve the article. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It is interesting that WP:BLP1E gives three criteria, all must be met, and the third one is about someone's role in an event, and the specific example given is an assassination! John Hinckley Jr., for example, has a separate article because the single event he was associated with, the Reagan assassination attempt, was significant, and his role was both substantial and well documented.. So if one of the three criteria are not met, then BLP1E guides us to keep. CT55555(talk) 01:20, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or (as AtD and per nom) redirect to Conaire Mór. Of the sources in the stub, only one even mentions the subject by name. The other describes the subject as an 'indistinct figure in Celtic myth'. Hardly a ringing endorsement. As per the nom, my own WP:BEFORE throws up a few sources where the mythical (fictional) character is mentioned - but only in passing and always in association with Conaire Mór or Mess Búachalla. And often, at that, not even by name. A redirect to a related character or topic would be in keeping with related convention for fictional characters (as discussed in the WP:NFICT essay). Guliolopez (talk) 02:12, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Actually, a WP:BEFORE search shows a lot of hits. Many of them only give a short description. But e.g. The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore, p. 354, and Encyclopedia of Fairies in World Folklore and Mythology, p. 246, each have a paragraph directly on the deity. So by no means a mention in passing. As Wikipedia aims to be a general and specialized encyclopedia, if these specialized encyclopedias have an entry on Nemglan, so should we. Granted, neither of those is very long, and the second is partially based on the first, but they still already allow is to write a short, reliably sourced article. But we can actually write more: Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies, p. 75, has some commentary how Nemglan relates to kingship. "Shades of Arthur: The Irish Legend of Conaire" comments on the name Nemglan and the relationship of the figure to older Greek deities, as does Heroic Saga and Classical Epic in Medieval Ireland. "Shades of Arthur" also tells us "For a further discussion on the figure of Nemglan, see Tom Sjöblom, “Advice from a Birdman: Ritual Injunctions and Royal Instructions in TBDD” (1996)." So while I could not access that myself, an academic paper tells us that there is more in-depth discussion still. And these were just a small selection which I have actually looked at. Daranios (talk) 16:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Update: @TimothyBlue: I have now supported things with what I assume are reliable secondary sources, which I think solves your first objection. I hope listing all those sources above solves the second. What do you think? Daranios (talk) 10:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Conaire Mór. Firstly, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that this figure was a god of the ancient Irish. Secondly, he only appears briefly in the tale of Conaire Mór's birth in Togail Bruidne Dá Derga. That article could and should be expanded a great deal, with sections about its themes and characters. Mess Búachalla could also be merged into Conaire Mór. – Asarlaí (talk) 13:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Asarlaí: At least some secondary sources like this paper or The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore call Nemglan a god (perhaps in a wide interpretation of "otherwordly figure"?), so I think the article should contain that. I don't think this needs to be in the title, though. I think we should move this to Nemglan to reflect that the figure is not always recognized as a god, and because it's simpler, and because there is no more prominent topic of the same name.

Doesn't meet WP:GNG. There is no academic or contemporary evidence that this "empire" ever existed. Ajuran is nothing more then a nomadic clan that was at the head of a tribal confederation which controlled much of the Shebelle region in southern Somalia.[38][39][40][41] Mogadishu was never ruled by this "Ajuran Empire" it was ruled by a dynasty of local Somalis who were also related to the Ajuran clan called the Muzaffarids. Sometime around the 16th century the city would fall under Ottoman suzerainty and later under Portuguese and then Omani control.[42]. The Somali cities of Merca, Mogadishu, Barawa were apart of the Swahili city states that were independent and distinct from one other similar to Pate, Mombasa and others.[43], [44], [45]. The Portuguese who sacked the cities of Mogadishu and Barawa never wrote about the existence of a Ajuran state and describe them as being separate entities محرر البوق (talk) 04:09, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This AfD nomination rather seems like a gush of POV. A search of Ajuran Sultanate gives us many books from well-known publishers. We need quite a bit of authoritative sources that present this as fake news to delete this article. Since there is a clan called Ajuran according to what you put here, a page move would be more appropriate; lack of WP:N is out of question. Aintabli (talk) 05:33, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aintabli you stated that there needed to be more authoritative sources so i will give you sources from academics proving that this "empire" never existed.
    well lets start with J. Spencer Trimingham. you can see that Trimmingham describes ajuran as a clan that migrated to the shebelle region, he describes them as being a tribal clan and points that they did not inhabit the bendair costal regions p. 113/148 [46]
    according to Ioan Lewis the ajuran were a sub clan of the hawiye that occupied the land west to mogadishu and ruled the fertile lands of the shebelle region. [47]
    Enrico Cerulli talks about them as well, stating that the Ajuran ruled a tiny state in the webi shabelle area that was allied to the muslim city states along the coast. [[48]]
    I can provide even more sources [49][50][51] but the point is that there was never an entity called "the Ajuran Sultanate" from an academic pov. From the sources, it seems like Ajuran was a small tribal confederation of pastoralist nomads that was ruled by the Garen dynasty in the Shebelle area. I still stand by my statement that there is no academic or contemporary evidence that this polity ever existed. If you look at the article it states some wild exaggeration with very limited sources. (eg; Ajuran colonized Mozambique) محرر البوق (talk) 06:49, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I suggest you check whether the current sources in this article are RS and verify the content. Then, you may edit accordingly. For example, if a source talks about a clan instead of a sultanate, you may change it to clan in that specific sentence. You can also crop clear non-RS or put some up for discussion. When you're done, look back and if it seems that the article actually discusses a clan instead of a sultanate then, you can request a merge with Ajuran (clan) (which I didn't notice it exists in my first comment). By "authoritative sources", I meant a great amount of sources that can disqualify all the content in this article and justify a deletion, which is difficult. Aintabli (talk) 14:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @محرر البوق, I didn't recommend you to remove 35 thousand bytes in one edit. What I meant was to scrutinize the article, check each source, and remove them, if they are non-RS, in separate edits, explaining why it should be removed, preferably in detail. Such huge edits without much explanation will easily become controversial no matter what and may be considered disruptive. Aintabli (talk) 21:26, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aintabli@Curbon7 I did check the sources for [52] and here is what I found.
    the sources [53][54][55][56] and many more do not mention the Ajuran Sultanate. The rest are not full citations and have no links or pages example[1][2][3][4] (on the Ajuran-Portuguese battles).
    Infact out of all citations, only [57] [58] [59] mention the Ajuran sultanate will full citations. Then there's other sources that mention the trading city states of the coast which Ajuran did not control. If you thoroughly look through the citations in the reflist. You will quickly come to the realization that the vast majority of this article is unsourced. محرر البوق (talk) 21:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC) محرر البوق (talk) 21:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: With no comment on the veracity of the article itself, as Horn of Africa articles can tend to be ripe with misinformation, this polity did certainly exist and has received significant coverage. Here are three literary sources I was able to locate with a quick perfunctory search.[60][61][62]. The citations of the latter source also list several additional works about this polity. Curbon7 (talk) 17:32, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. This is clearly a botched attempt at drive-by vandalism through ‘official’ means, the mass deletion of content compiled by various editors over the years is a good example of bad-faith editing by the nominator of this AfD[63], because none of those editors would have been given the chance to defend that content if it wasn’t reversed. A simple google search returns multiple reliable sources about this polity from various respected scholars and institutions, some of which Curbon7 already highlighted above.
  • None of User:محرر البوق sources actually claim that the Ajuran Empire never existed, this is you superimposing your Original Research and POV on the works of scholars and academics that make no such claims, please refrain from doing that, it is frowned upon and goes against Wikipedia policies on Neutral POV. The Portuguese never controlled the Somali coast, so their lack of knowledge on the politics of the region is not a surprise, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and as it stands, there are multiple scholars who do assert that the coast was under Ajuran suzerainty, so the exploits and fortunes of those coastal Somali cities in the period of Ajuran dominance will most definitely be discussed and highlighted in the article.
  • There are also enough scholars who refer to the state as an empire or a sultanate, so merging it with the article on the clan is out of the question, just as the Roman Empire and the city of Rome aren’t merged into one. I advise you to discuss each change on the talk page of the article and add the designated Wikipedia tags for citations and additional sources if you feel a claim should be elaborated. Vast undiscussed changes with vague summaries that hide multiple smaller edits will be scrutinised and overturned. I also see no justification for the AfD to continue based on the comments already made by myself, Aintabli and Curbon7. — GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @GoldenDragonHorn Even if this polity existed, large segments of the article remain unsourced and without full citations. The claim that the Ajuuran founded colonies in the Maldives and Mozambique is completely false, and there isn't even one reference cited that mentions Ajuran. Ajuran also wasn't involved in the Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts, there is no evidence of this and again there is also no evidence of a Muslim migration from Arabia, Persia, India and Spain into Ajuran territories as well, the source cited doesn't mention Ajuran.
    You make some big claims such as the claim that there's respected scholars who refer to it as an "empire". Can you provide the names of these scholars? One shouldn't just look up content via google books and assume everything that comes up is reliable. I've already posted links and the names of academic scholars talking about this so called "empire". while I concede that cerulli does give it the name of a sultanate, NONE of the sources give it the name of an empire. You also claim that the Portuguese never controlled the Somali coast which is false[64][65]
    The Somali coast might of been under Ajuran suzerainty but they never formed a single entity. The Somali city states and the Ajuran were always distinct and independent from one another despite being closely interlinked.[66] For example, the Ifat Sultanate for a large portion of it's history was under Ethiopian suzerainty, does it mean that the exploits and fortunes of ifat should be highlighted in the Ethiopian Empire article? There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that the Somali coastal cities were independent and not under Ajuran rule, so there shouldn't be any reason why one should all this info into that article, this information should most likely be put under the Mogadishu or the Muzaffarids (Somalia) or even any other article dedicated to those city states. Remember that this article should be exclusively about the Ajuran state, not about whatever polities it interacted with. The only information about these cities that should be included is it's relationship with the Ajuran and what effect it had on the Ajuran.

You nominated the article for deletion, that was an extremely negative and disruptive move and does not show good will on your part nor does it show that you were originally interested in improving the article or the encyclopaedia as a whole, your intent was to get rid of it as quickly as possible with original POV research while weaponising a powerful tool like the AfD, without actually doing the necessary due diligence.

When that didn’t fly, you attempted to mass delete the article by disingenuously misrepresenting a comment made by Aintabli, which again was thwarted by another member. This is a clear pattern of bad-faith behaviour on your part.

No bueno.

You’re currently moving the goal posts and have switched from boldly claiming that it ‘didn’t exist’ and therefore not satisfying the benchmarks of WP:GNG (yet with no sources to back that up) to ‘maybe it existed’, but with the added red herring opinion that its not justified to discuss the economic arteries of an historic state like the Ajuran in the form of its port cities or their exploits in that specific time period.

In any case this AfD nomination is not the place to defend every single claim made in the article (which was not even my original intention). The purpose of an AfD is to determine whether an article is academically and historically notable through verifiable sources to justify its existence and inclusion on this encyclopaedia, and the Ajuran Sultanate qualifies in both cases.

You can start multiple individual sections in the article’s talk page about your issues with some of the claims highlighted above and you will have a better chance at a constructive consensus. I will certainly participate there considering the ethnocentric context of your POV, which is quite obvious from your recorded history of systematically cleansing any sourced content containing the word ‘Somali’ from multiple articles: [67], [68], [69].

All this combined with your bad faith AfD nomination, and unilateral attempts at mass deletion of the article’s content, and I am now tempted to escalate this to the arbitration enforcement committee, since the Horn of Africa still falls under their contentious topics umbrella. GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 01:59, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GoldenDragonHorn First of all WP:AAGF, you’re making all of these wild accusation and assumptions about my intentions. I nominated the article for deletion because I believed that there wasn’t any adequate sources supporting its existence as I explained above, this is not disruptive editing. The article presents Ajuran as a naval empire while in reality that is certainty not the case, as my sources show it was an inland confederation that existed along the shores of the Shabelle and Jubba rivers. Also stop saying that the Ajuran had “coastal cities” I already argued that it did not (at least the major ones that were mentioned in the article) and you did not refute that.
I’m apparently moving the goalposts? Have you ever heard of a concession? Something that is wildly encouraged on Wikipedia? That’s how you find consensus. I’m getting signals that you don’t really know what you’re talking about.
WP:AFD The AfD nomination is absolutely a place to discuss about the content of an article. If there is a consensus to keep the article then Wikipedians should discuss about other ways one can improve the article, as other editors here have agreed this article is full of unverifiable information and unsourced content. That “mass deletion” was nothing more then an attempt at being WP:BOLD when it was reverted I did not revert it back and discussed with the user who reverted it on my talk page.
What is wrong with those edits? Do you have a problem with them? The Walashma were from Ifat which is west of Harar so they were most likely not of Somali origin, the Al Kawnyen theory is only stated by one academic which I included. Futuh Al Habesh first mentions Ahmad Gragn as being a young knight fighting for Hubat, there is absolutely no evidence that he was from Zayla, the ethnicity tab was a violation of WP:YESPOV as “most historians” do not state that he was an ethnic Somali. It has been proposed alongside other ethnicities and I’ve added sources and the opinions of various scholars, I did not remove the ones claiming that he was a Somali. And the claim that his army was “overwhelmingly Somali” is false as the ethnic composition of his army is described in Futuh Al Habesh as being 1/3 Somali 1/3 Harla and 1/3 Malassay. As far as I’m concerned, those edits were 100% justified and I wouldn’t have added them if I didn’t think so.
If you truly believe that I am a problematic editor go ahead and let the administrators know WP:AN. But you’ll probably have a hard time convincing them about the nonsense you’re spewing. You’re just ranting trying to change the topic, you’re not addressing ANY of the issues addressed in the article. You can continue to believe that the Ajuran was some great naval superpower with dominion over the Maldives and Mozambique, but including that in the article without any sources and reverting my edits accusing it as “mass deletion” is, in my opinion, a complete joke. محرر البوق (talk) 17:23, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When there is a clear pattern of bad faith and ethnocentric POV pushing, an editor is not obligated to abide by WP:AAGF, much the same way an editor doesn’t have to assume good faith when dealing with an obvious sock puppeteer or a repeat 3RR offender. Its a privilege not a right. More importantly, two different unrelated users already pointed out to you that your unilateral actions could be perceived by other editors as disruptive and gaming the system. Well, I perceive them exactly as such. You’re also contradicting yourself by stating that the original cause for this nomination was because you confidently believed that the state didn’t exist, nor that there were any academic sources to prove its notability but at the same time push the narrative that it was an inland federation, so I guess it was an inland federation that didn’t exist?

What is clear is that you have made a lot of personal opinions and unsupported assertions in this AfD nomination about the Ajuran Sultanate, but provided no scholarly sources or references to back them word for word. Its irrelevant whether you personally don’t consider the Ajuran polity; a sultanate, a kingdom or an empire. What matters is that there are plenty of reliable sources that do:

The Ajuuraan sultanate, a Muslim empire, is established in Somalia and soon controls large portions of East Africa.” - Cultural Sociology of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa: An Encyclopedia Page 34

And another:

There have been empires throughout recorded human history, such as the Roman, Mongol, and Ottoman Empires in Eurasia, the Ajuran Sultanate in Africa, and the Inca Empire in South America. They are often formed through military conquest or economic coercion.” - Law and Justice around the World: A Comparative Approach page 40 by Mikaila Mariel, Lemonik Arthur

And another:

”The Ajuran Empire, in the Horn of Africa, began to decline in the 17th century, succeeded by the Geledi Sultanate.” - History of Civilizations by Mason Kirby page 25.

Its irrelevant that you personally feel that the fortunes and exploits of the coastal cities in the period of Ajuran suzerainty shouldn’t be mentioned in the article just because the Wikipedia articles of other historic polities aren’t set up that way. What matters is that these coastal cities are discussed by scholars for their trade, politics and regional dynamics in a Ajuran context:

”An Ajuran family, Mudaffar, established a dynasty in the city, thus linking the two entities together; for the next 350 years.” - Cities of the Middle East and North Africa: A Historical Encyclopedia Page 253 by Michael Dumper, Bruce E. Stanley

And another:

The Ajuran are said to have been allied with the Mudaffar dynasty which governed Mogadishu , thus creating a link between coastal and interior politics . The Ajuran leadership relied on this link to buttress its prestige and power.” - The Banaadir Past: Essays in Southern Somali History page 27.

Its also irrelevant that you personally don’t consider the Ajuran polity a naval power or even question its involvement in the wars against the Portuguese, because we have sources that do:

Ajuraan's era of greatness corresponds very well with the short but intense Portuguese activities in the Indian Ocean” - Islamic Art and Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa page 122 by Karin Ådahl, Berit Sahlström

And another:

The Portuguese empire expanded into the Persian Gulf, contesting control of the spice trade with the Ajuran Empire and the Ottoman Empire.”

Ibid:

The Portuguese were soundly defeated in their attempt to capture wealthy Somali harbor cities on the Somali coast such as Mogadishu, Merca, Barawa, Kismayo and Hobyo by the powerful Somalis of the Ajuran Empire during the Battle of Barawa and Battle of Benadir.” - Portuguese empire during the period 1415-1663 and its relations with China and Japan–a case of early globalization by Pavel Stoynov - Journal of International Economy and Business 6 (71), 60-66, 2018

Sources are also unequivocal about Ajuran’s political domination over the South and Central regions of medieval Somalia, including the Indian Ocean coast for a period of over 300 years:

”AJURAN. An imamate or dynasty that emerged in Somalia to control the Shabelle valley from Qallafo, on the upper Shabelle, to the shores of the Indian Ocean, and from Mareeg on the central Somali coast to the Kenyan frontiers in the southwest, thus controlling most of the south-central regions of contemporary Somalia, from the mid-13th to the late 17th centuries.” - Historical Dictionary of Somalia page 35.

However, be that as it may, your systematic removal of any reliable sources that mention the Somali people in various articles is definitely problematic and casts a shadow on your recent actions here, because in the other article you removed a sourced statement that categorically stated in relation to a historical figure that ‘most scholars consider him Somali’ and another sourced statement that directly stated that ‘the army was overwhelmingly Somali’ and replaced it with synth, because a medieval Adalite chronicle (a primary source), discussing the army of Adal, also mentioned other important groups related to the Somali people during that time-period and therefore in your opinion it has precedent over secondary sources (despite the latter being the bread and butter of Wikipedia).

What is even more disturbing is the fact that your mathematical calculation of the army being 1/3 Somali, 1/3 Harla and 1/3 Malassay is not even mentioned by the primary source in question nor do any of the secondary sources available make that specific calculation. So this is the very definition of Original Research, but that edit and other problematic ones like it will be rectified in due time. Now we are discussing the Ajuran Sultanate.

The place to look for consensus was the article’s talk page, you opted instead (without doing your due diligence pertaining to section C of the WP:AFD guidelines) to push for a deletion process that in most cases would mainly involve senior editors with a periphery knowledge of the region or the subject in question and who could only judge the case based on the merit of its notability, which they did.

The correct way to have gone about it was to 1) add citation tags where necessary, 2) create new sections on the talk page about the boldest claims, 3) trace back those specific edits in the history page and contact the editors that added them in the article with a friendly request if they could corroborate or clarify their statements. If you were to still be ignored then look for sources yourself, and if you failed to find any, then apply WP:BOLD.

This would have accorded you good faith in my eyes and those of others, but your entire modus operandi was the opposite of this. Nominating an article for deletion is not being bold or looking for consensus, its disruptive especially when there was clear easy access to a mountain of reliable sources proving its notability. I repeat again none of your sources in any shape or form claim that the Ajuran Sultanate never existed, which was the foundation of your case for deletion. I also reiterate once more that several dozen reliable sources have now been provided by me and by others that confidently determine that this article meets all the bench marks of notability, so I suggest you withdraw the nomination if improving the encyclopaedia and the article was your true intention. — GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 04:27, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GoldenDragonHorn "When there is a clear pattern of bad faith and ethnocentric POV pushing, an editor is not obligated to abide by WP:AAGF.... Its a privilege not a right." It's apart of Wikipedia's behavioral guidelines, please read WP:BF. I really don't care about how you interpret my edits, if you think that I'm being disruptive then that's your problem. Go ahead and report my problematic behavior to the the administrators because I'm not sure what your end goal is. Yes, I still believe that there is very little academic sources about the existence of this polity (actual reliable sources from respected scholars and publishers not whatever crap you just cited), but I was forced to make concessions because there seems to be a consensus that the article should be kept. You obviously have no idea how Wikipedia discussions work. I have provided multiple sources in this discussion you're just dismissing them. I don't need to provide a source word for word that is completely ridiculous, you're just finding every excuse just to dismiss and ignore them. I gave you the PDFs of works from highly respected academics like Enrico Cerulli and Ioan Lewis, feel free to take a look and enjoy.
Those are not "reliable sources", you're obviously going on google books and looking up "ajuran empire" and whatever comes up you're trying to pass them off as "scholarly sources". The first 4 and the last sources are tertiary sources. Its irrelevant that you personally feel that the fortunes and exploits of the coastal cities in the period of Ajuran suzerainty shouldn’t be mentioned in the article just because the Wikipedia articles of other historic polities aren’t set up that way. What matters is that these coastal cities are discussed by scholars for their trade, politics and regional dynamics in a Ajuran context: Scholars? Who the hell even are these people? They don't mention these cities in an "Ajuran context" that is straight up your own interpterion, it seems like they briefly mention Ajuran and mention the links these cities had to the interior polity, that's it. Anything else is your own interpterion. “The Portuguese were soundly defeated in their attempt to capture wealthy Somali harbor cities on the Somali coast such as Mogadishu, Merca, Barawa, Kismayo and Hobyo by the powerful Somalis of the Ajuran Empire during the Battle of Barawa and Battle of Benadir.” The Portuguese were not defeated in those battles, most notably in Barawa where contemporary sources describe them destroying the city which was followed by a terrible massacre. Here is one provided by Barnaby Rogerson[70] So the source you cited is obviously incorrect but you still parade it around as a "reliable source". No offense at all, but it seems like you are lacking competence as you do not have the ability to assess the reliability of the sources you are citing.
Most scholars do not consider Imam Ahmad to be a Somali, some do some don't. The Somali theory is out there but so is the Harla, Arab, Afar, etc. I merely removed that and stated the opinion of various academics, including those who consider him to be a Somali. Reminder, we have to be completely neutral and state everyone's opinion WP:YESPOV. As for the ethnic composition of his army, I replaced it with another secondary source from the University of Cambridge that includes Somalis. is not even mentioned by the primary source in question nor do any of the secondary sources available make that specific calculation. Please read page 53/284 on Futuh al Habesh.[71] The army of Imam Ahmad was spilt into 3 divisions, 1 was Somali, 1 was Harla and the other was Malassay. Not sure what you're whining about because I didn't add this information into any article. If you attempt to revert those edits believe me, I will be there to dispute it.
Like I said I believe that there wasn't any academic sources proving the existence of this article so I nominated it for deletion, other editors disagreed with me so I talked about other ways one can improve this article. That's it, don't feel like repeating myself. create new sections on the talk page about the boldest claims, 3) trace back those specific edits in the history page and contact the editors that added them in the article with a friendly request if they could corroborate or clarify their statements. You don't need to discuss or reach out to other users before making edits when being WP:BOLD... that's kind of the whole point of "being bold"....
Now please learn how to identify reliable sources and how to properly cite them instead of wasting my time. محرر البوق (talk) 08:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As expected, after multiple sources (proving clear due weight and notability) were provided by us you are now nitpicking and shifting to wikilawyering on whether you personally consider them ‘reliable’ or not. Despite four different unrelated editors pointing out to you that this polity does meet the benchmarks of notability you still refuse to acknowledge this reality, even terming some of the sources provided as ‘crap’ in your personal hierarchy. This is not helpful.

But let’s use a scholar that you yourself recommended above (I.M Lewis) and see what he has to say about the Ajuran polity and the most important coastal city:

Under a hereditary dynasty, the Ajuran consolidated their positions as masters of the fertile reaches of the lower Shabelle basin and established a commercial connection with the port of Mogadishu where some of their clansmen settled.


The fortunes of this Ajuran Sultanate thus appear to have been closely linked with those of Mogadishu, and the Ajuran reached the summit of their power in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century when Mogadishu was ruled by the Muzaffar Dynasty, an aristocracy related to if not actually of Ajuran stock.” - [72]

Its important to highlight that you have provided several sources but none of which that support any of the bold claims you made in your original nomination post outside of synth. None that question the existence of the Ajuran polity, or deny its notability, which was simply pointed out to you, and which made this AfD bankrupt at conception. That’s not me dismissing your sources, that’s you not substantiating your bold opinions and assertions, which is a big difference.

Whether one scholar considers the violent Portuguese sack of Barawa as a victory, and whether another scholar considers it a defeat is not the subject matter in this discussion (and is still protected by WP:THISORTHAT), what does matter is that I have demonstrated adequately that the Ajuran polity is most definitely discussed by academics in relation to the Portuguese and their medieval activities in the Indian Ocean, which is something you denied.

I will ignore the side discussion not related to the Ajuran Sultanate for now and your amusing comment on my cognitive skills aside, I do not think that your incompetent, which makes this nomination all the more sinister, because how could four different unrelated editors come to the same conclusion, but you didn’t?

I would never accuse another editor of pushing an nationalist POV unless there was a clear history in the form of diffs, see here another example. [73] There is no need to defend your rationale behind the edit in this AfD like you did with the previous diffs. I only use them to demonstrate that you do have an angle, much the same way a Russian nationalist editor mass deleting content or nominating articles for deletion about Ukrainian culture or Ukrainian history would have an angle and would be seen as problematic. Its not a personal attack to point this out with evidence, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated, so from henceforth I will refrain my pointing this out any further.

However, I will remind you of the fact that the Horn of Africa and all the articles about the region fall under the contentious topics umbrella overseen by the Arbitration Committee for a good reason. Unilateral actions such as mass deletions, sudden page moves that change the common name of an article or creating an AfD nomination without clear talk page consensus or discussion beforehand can be perceived as actively undermining the encyclopaedia, and are therefore potentially subject to sanctions, because editing a Horn of Africa related article is not the same as editing the Mickey Mouse or the Eiffel Tower articles.

I made my case for this article’s notability, and will defer judgement to the other editors. — GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 13:26, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GoldenDragonHorn That's not wikilayering, I'm verifying these sources to see if they're accurate or not. As for I.M Lewis statements, he imo is referring to Ajuran as a clan based petty kingdom. Enrico Cerulli also stated something similar. This in contrast to the article which describes Ajuran as being a trading naval empire. totally inaccurate.
But you misinterpreted my point about you not assessing the reliability of sources. I did not say anything about your cognitive ability, but that you didn't really know how to cite and verify sources. Which is an important competency to edit wikipedia. When citing references you have to analyze the author, publisher and content to see if they are considered accurate, use the proper template, list the title, page number, url, isbn, quote,etc. I used to lack skills in this too and it took me a while to learn this as well, but this is extremely important when editing wikipedia. Also there is no serious scholar that disputes the outcome of the battle of barawa. the source you cited was written by a bulgarian economics professor from the university of sofia. and he list wikipedia in his references[74], not an accurate source at all.
I did interpret your accusations as a personal attack. And likewise under a contentious topics accusing users of certain behavior (vandalism, disruptive editing, etc) can be considered a personal attack and get you blocked from editing. While I don't believe that you crossed a line or anything, your first reply was clearly written very combatively and was less about the content of the article and more of my motives and previous edits.
As for your opinion on the Ajuran Sultanate I respect it and don't wish to discuss further about this as this nomination should be closed soon. Only wished to clear some things up before it does. محرر البوق (talk) 21:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has policies for tertiary sources which allows for its inclusion into articles when necessary, dismissing them solely for their status as tertiary is not productive. There is also no need to patronise me, I have not added any of the secondary and tertiary sources listed above into the article, so your demand for ISBN numbers and other benchmarks as proof of competency, or a lack thereof, as a Wikipedia editor is kind of strange, since this is a talk page, where sources are regularly put forward, dismissed or accepted during a discussion. I.M Lewis also quite clearly refers to the polity as the ‘Ajuran Sultanate’ not the clan, or a tribe.

Though I understand you might feel that me pointing out that you have POV is a personal attack (we all have one), that was not the intention. More importantly, in doing so I have not broken any rules, either set by Wikipedia or the ArbCom, as I used clear diffs to demonstrate it. However, since I have no interest in making this platform a toxic place for another editor, I will retract my previous statements, and we can start from a clean slate. — GoldenDragonHorn (talk) 18:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think it's useful for software to have a collector page where information can be gathered later on. I don't receive any commission for supporting this. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.97.217.205 (talk) 12:42, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll note here that this IP's only contribution at all is to this AFD, and stating "I don't receive any commission for supporting this" makes this reply seem more like WP:CONFLICT.
    As for the argument made in the reply itself, this article has existed for nearly eight years with minor improvements and using just about the same references. I think it's safe on my part to say that information here cannot be gathered; there is no information to gather on this program that doesn't come from either its own creators or from very brief mentions on random tech news and tutorial websites that don't qualify for WP:GNG.

Fails GNG and NSONG. BEFORE showed nothing that meets IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject (the single) directly and indepth. No objection to a consensus redirect to the album Verkligen, similar redirects have been rv'd so establishing CONSENSUS needed.  // Timothy :: talk  00:59, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the parent album. The search is difficult given halka is a common Turkish word, but even digging past as much of that as I could, I didn't see anything. Charting is unimpressive and can be mentioned in the album article if it's really wanted there. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was soft delete‎ . Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. plicit 01:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
