Carmen Toaquiza[edit]

All sources consist of statistic results along with IAAF profile pages. Zero in-depth or partial coverage of individual exists. WP:BEFORE search reveals nothing. Does not satisfy WP:GNG. Delete per changes in WP:NSPORTS2022. Skipple ☎ 23:56, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Marduk[edit]

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

He has received no commentary, no WP:sigcov, but full of listicles for ex. "At 8 feet tall, with a chest like a beer keg, Marduk is a man's man – a hairy, barroom brawler." Failing WP:GNG. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 23:50, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to List of Tekken characters - every single source concerns the characters as a group, with small amounts of coverage individually, so there is no indication he passes WP:GNG. Sources elsewhere are only trivial mentions in announcements. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:17, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: Well, here's one I can get behind. In sources I've searched for per WP:BEFORE, I'm not seeing much, beyond what's already cited in the article. That being said, I think it's time to give these AFDs a rest for a while, GlatorNator. I know I'm not alone with this mindset. MoonJet (talk) 03:38, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
umm, maybe no. An admin like Sergecross73 made a comment like this [1]. Stating that nominations are acceptable "especially if many have been closed as merge/redirect". So far with dozens of character articles were nom'ed only Reptile did survived. Again, that's your opinion. GlatorNator (ᴛ) 04:26, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Like, optimally, it would have been great to bundle them as a group nomination, but then it risks something like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Warcraft character articles where it ends in an utter disaster and trainwreck. So I think nominating individually is fine even if some people are interpreting it as spamming the process. So far there has been little in the way of sources presented that might suggest the AfDs are off the mark somehow. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, while I have some concerns about the declining quality of some of these nominations (not this one) you're unlikely to be declared disruptive or anything of the sort of they keep largely closing as merge/delete, which most still are. Sergecross73 msg me 13:18, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as there is plenty of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources identified in the last discussion by @Michig: such as [2], [3], [4], [5], so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 20:42, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sources 3 and 4 mention Club X more in passing. The Guardian doesn't focus solely on Club X but just mentions it as another cancelled show along with others, it's a maybe when it comes to notability. Only Source 1 could maybe establish notability, but that website is a dedicated dictionary of every British TV show that ever existed and doesn't establish Club X. Are there other sources which can establish the notability of the TV show? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 19:42, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Passes GNG based on sources found. It's from 1989 so not as much will be available online, but I'm sure there was more back then. The Daily Telegraph, Apr 22, 1989., The Guardian, Apr 27, 1989., The Observer, Apr 23, 1989. 3 other sources listed in previous discussion if anyone has access to British newspaper archive, not sure if any are the same as these but those 3 should of been enough for GNG, they just need to make their way into article.

Hotel Rose[edit]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG. Coverage is mainly travel listings or very local as per WP:AUD. Also searched by previous name. LibStar (talk) 23:26, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per GNG (disclaimer: creator). I'm not convinced nominator has completed a thorough search for sources. I was able to find coverage of the property as Riverside West Motor Hotel, a Four Points by Sheraton, Hotel Fifty, and Hotel Rose quite quickly. I've expanded the entry to include book, newspaper, journal, and magazine coverage spanning at least a decade, and I've not even checked the Oregonian archives yet.

Keep per GNG (disclaimer: creator). I'm not convinced nominator has done a thorough reviewing of sourcing. I quickly identified in-depth coverage in sources which are not specific to a local audience. I've expanded the entry with more than a dozen sources and I've not even attempted to access the Oregonian archives yet. This is the third time in 48 hours I've disagreed with nominator about hotel entries. I believe this article should be expanded, not deleted. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:16, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Lucy (comedian)[edit]

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

This is a semi-procedural nomination. I declined an WP:A7 on this article back in 2016 and improved it a bit, then forgot about it. It was then edited extensively by a relative of the subject, who I assume didn't have the experience of writing neutral biographies on Wikipedia, despite me warning them not to where it was deleted per WP:G11. I don't think that applies as CSDs are only applicable if all revisions meet the criteria. However, I'm not sure what to do with the article, and erring on the side of caution for BLPs, I think an AfD is best to see whether we should have this article or not.

Tap (gaming)[edit]

Comment - I'm not overly familiar with the topic, but is the term "tap" only officially used with Magic, with other card games that use the same style of gameplay using their own terms for it? That is the impression I am getting from the current article, at least. If that is the case, then a redirect to Magic: The Gathering rules#Tapping and untapping might be the best bet. The suggested Glossary of video game terms would not really be appropriate in this case, as this is a Collectible card game term, not a video game term. Rorshacma (talk) 16:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to collectible card game. Wikipedia is WP:NOTDICTIONARY and the best way to cover this is in the context of the style of game where it comes up. Shooterwalker (talk) 01:17, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
redirect Actually, with the related patent and coverage of it maybe there is enough to get an article? Or maybe we could get a "standard mechanics of CCGs" article?

Jesse Johnson (West Virginia politician)[edit]

Non-notable perennial third party candidate. SecretName101 (talk) 07:24, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Politicians, United States of America, and West Virginia. SecretName101 (talk) 07:24, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep there is no deletion rationale presented. Being a multi-time candidate is not a reason to delete an article. Moreover, the nominator hasn't done the necessary work WP:BEFORE nominating this article, as there are multiple published independent sources on Johnson such as [9], and [10].--User:Namiba 17:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Namiba Lack of notability is the reason for deletion. Wikipedia:POLITICIAN does not assign him notability. Perennial candidate for significant offices will have plentiful published independent sources that cover them. But being mentioned in such sources does not itself does not itself assign notability. You have to assess what those articles say about it and if the facts they assert about the individual assign them note.

"candidate is running" "candidate exists" articles are not sufficient to establish notability. Elections they run in might even be of note, but that does not mean the candidates themselves are, or that it is justified to provide them anything more than a description/mention within the articles for the elections themselves.

A great many non-notable subjects get covered every day by independent sources. The existence of independent sources does not establish notability. What is covered within those sources must be assessed.

This is a run-of-the-mill non-notable perennial candidate who does not justify and independent article. SecretName101 (talk) 19:14, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Namiba also please read. Your assertion that there is no deletion rationale completely ignores that the first two words of the nomination cite lack of notability, which is indeed a very clear deletion rationale. SecretName101 (talk) 22:28, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I would suggest that any verifiable information about his candidacies mentioned here be transplanted to the articles about the elections themselves if they are worth adding there and not already present. SecretName101 (talk) 19:16, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Claiming someone is "non-notable" is not citing Wikipedia policy on notability. Being a perennial candidate is also not a valid reason to delete an article, if they have receive noteworthy coverage. If you looked for said coverage before nominating, you would have found it: HuffPost, Living On Earth, Herald-Dispatch.--User:Namiba 11:12, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Namiba "Candidate exists" is not notable coverage. WP:Politician "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability". SecretName101 (talk) 00:56, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Huffington Post and Living on Earth are both national publications which certainly do not cover every candidate in-depth, much less every Green Party candidate. The Herald Dispatch article is in-depth, independent sourcing as well. You should probably read the sources before continuing to minimize the positions of anyone who disagrees with you. More words doesn't make you right.--User:Namiba 01:17, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. My first thought was, "who?", and I certainly understand why many West Virginians—including myself—have never heard of him, or at best heard him mentioned briefly as an also-ran who was quickly forgotten. Being endorsed by a minor political figure from somewhere else in the country isn't that helpful, although Ken Hechler's endorsement is a bit more so in West Virginia. Clearly Johnson doesn't appear to be a major political force in the state. But all that said, he was the nominee of West Virginia's only significant third party on multiple occasions. And I don't think the bar for demonstrating notability is particularly high. I think this person meets our minimum criteria for notability. P Aculeius (talk) 13:50, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@P Aculeius you outlined really good points for failure to meet notability, actually. WP:Politician notability is not met. "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability". Being a Green Party nominee for those offices is not inherently notable. SecretName101 (talk) 19:23, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's your opinion; it's not mine. And arguing with everyone whose opinion differs from yours doesn't invalidate their opinions. P Aculeius (talk) 03:50, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I think if the article can be framed in terms of any sort of ballot access cases or firsts, a case could be made. I made this point at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Redpath, but to no avail.Mpen320 (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Routine campaign coverage typically does not establish notability to pass WP:NPOL. Losing multiple elections does not warrant an article, even if there were typical mentions of their presence in the race, and I don't see this ordinary coverage reaching significance needed for an article for a minor perennial candidate. The first link by Namiba above does not have any biographical coverage but simply mentions the possibility of being a spoiler in 2010 United States Senate special election in West Virginia (that's a good redirect option, but getting less than 2% of the vote doesn't earn you an article) and the second is an routine interview they did of everyone on the ballot, which is not independent coverage.Reywas92^Talk 14:34, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to ~~2010 United States Senate special election in West Virginia#General election~~ Mountain Party#State elections as a viable ATD. Per nom, Mpen320, and Reywas92, the coverage (including the citations presented in this discussion) fall short of the RS-based significant coverage (aside from run-of-the-mill campaign coverage) needed to meet the criteria of either WP:NPOL or WP:GNG. Sal2100 (talk) 15:58, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge selectively as suggested. Perennial candidates can be notable if, and even because, they run many times. Bearian (talk) 13:55, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearian yes, I definitely agree that perennial candidates can garner notability through their runs. I have even created new articles on perennial candidates, and actually have the start of a draft for another such article saved on my Google Docs account for later work.

Keep - We should have a very low bar for public figures. As a statewide candidate for governor of WV in 2004 who garnered a not-insignificant 2.5% of the vote, this is one.

Redirect and merge as appropriate to Mountain Party#State elections. In general, Wikipedia is not a repository of campaign brochures and the community makes no effort to provide equal coverage to candidates running for public office (my thoughts about the notability of candidates). The standard for a candidate who does not already hold a position that passes WP:NPOL is GNG - with a strong emphasis on coverage that rises above routine coverage about the election (and usually involves national or international coverage). I do not see this level of coverage here. --Enos733 (talk) 17:00, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While there are book sources listed in the article, it looks like they have very little with regard to WP:SIGCOV about this person's life story and rule. AFAICT, pretty much all we know about them is their name and that they existed, which may be enough for a line in another article or an entry in a list of rulers of the state they ruled or whatever, but there's not enough available to hang a whole article on. --Jayron 32 12:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Alan Singh Chanda is a figure in the folkloric tradition of the Meena community, whose historicity is essentially indeterminable. As Hooja says While the historicity of Tod's tale has been looked askance by scholars, similar popular versions continue to be told and re-told in Dhoondhar even today.. And as Jadunath Sarkar notes (p. 22), all the variant versions were at best written down in the 18th c from oral tradition. The dates that the events central to the legends of Alan (the betrayal and killing of Alan by a Rajput usurper whom he had given refuge to as a child) are dated to ca 1007... or maybe 1128. There is little detail of the person in the any of these legends that would justify a stand-alone biographical article. And since several versions of these legends exist, trying to write a wiki-bio risks synthesizing a chimeric biography with bits and pieces aggregated from these variants (for example, the versions I read don't contain claims that Alan "established the city of Amber and got the Amber Fort constructed" but I wouldn't be surprised if such embellishments exist in some other tellings).

(TL;DR) there may be a place on wikipedia to write about the legends that mention Alan Singh Chanda, but a biographical article is not the way to go. Abecedare (talk) 16:49, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are better editors on Wikipedia than me who can explain it properly. Anyway I am unable to see these sources. -- Karsan Chanda (talk) 12:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have read Hooja and all the relevant material is in snippets on pp. 391-95, wherein Hooja quotes Tod to talk about "Ralunsi, the Meena Raja" who was betrayed by the Rajput Dulha Rai (pp. 391-92); quotes Sarkar to talk about a "Ralhan-si, the Chauhan rajah of Lalsot district" who married his daughter to Dulha Rai and instigated him to attack his rivals (p. 393); and a "Meena chief called Chanda" who ruled the Meenas of Khoh, who Dulha Rai successfully attacked supposedly after already establishing a base kingdom and entering the marriage-alliances (p.394). No idea if these incompatible tales are about the same person. And no mention of "Alan Singh Chanda" per se. Further illustrates the risk of on-wiki synthesis.

Keep – per WP:GEOLAND, populated places are "typically presumed to be notable", and looking at the sources, there doesn't seem to be any doubt that this is a populated, legally recognised place. It's hard to find sources (not least because "Zaporizke" is not a unique name – there are several villages by that name in Ukraine) and some of the existing sources are pretty weak, so some cleanup is needed but I do think it is a notable topic. As an aside, I can't see that this has been declined (much less rejected) in AfC, unless there are older, deleted drafts; it was created in mainspace, draftified by an NPP patroller, and then moved back to mainspace by the draft creator. --bonadea contributions talk 09:47, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contested redirect. Zero real-world notability. Delete as per WP:NOTPLOT. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:09, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Television. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, onel5969, that's just a sub-par nom. First "real world notability" is a non-sequitur: notability is based on coverage of a topic, so a fictional element that is covered as a fictional element via non-trivial mentions in independent reliable sources is notable. Second, the issue is a problem with notability for standalone coverage, as anyone with a search engine can see that this character existed, so there's no reason for deletion--rather than enforcing a redirect to a more carefully curated List of Heroes characters. Let's not start advocating things that aren't even policy-based just as a more extreme position from which one can fall back, shall we? Jclemens (talk) 23:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As far as sources go, in Simmons' Investigating Heroes: Essays on Truth, Justice and Quality TV ISBN 978-0786459360, his name is mentioned on 23 separate pages. While I can only see the index and 2 trivial mentions in Google Books preview, I suspect that the whole enchilada would amount to non-trivial IRS coverage. But really, I'm getting a lot of trivial mentions, to include in JSTOR and NYT (each of which yield one), so I'm actually inclined to enforce the redirect unless someone else comes up with better focus on this character rather than as Hiro's friend/sidekick. Jclemens (talk) 23:48, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am the person who un-did the redirect. I don't have a strong opinion on whether the page itself is kept, but when the redirect was made, no section for Ando was added to List of Heroes characters, which meant that there was essentially no information (not even a paragraph on a much larger list page) on this borderline-notable character. The act of "redirecting a previously-existing article to some other article that doesn't really contain useful information about that subject" is one of the more insidious ways to hard-core delete content from Wikipedia, and whether or not it was intentional, it left a noticeable gap in coverage. It's unimportant to me whether the page is kept or a few-paragraph section is made on the relevant list page, but I hope most reasonable people would agree that redirecting it to a page lacking a section on Ando is the worst of the three outcomes. onel5969 - I would also add that my interaction with you was largely negative, as you ignored the reason for undoing the redirect, cited a nonexistent AfD, and (mostly incorrectly) claimed that the character was already on the list page. These types of interactions with new people matter, and bad ones feed into the narrative that Wikipedia is unwelcoming to new people. 24.143.106.101 (talk) 07:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested seems fine. This isn't Superman, but one of many characters in the series. Oaktree b (talk) 20:14, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect unless someone adds a reception section showing, well, notability. PS. I do fully support summarizing some stuff on the relevant list of characters, so I guess merge is likewise a valid outcome, maybe even better than redirect (but there's nothing stopping folks from getting content from a redirect, as long as there is no hard deletion of content, which I would not endorse). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the extremely short length of this article, and the fact that it had only three edits between 2012 and my addition of the AfD notice, it's entirely possible this might not be notable.

Various IPs have repeatedly overwritten the redirect to TV Red Puerto Rico with an article (that company used to own this station, but sold it), but the sourcing is very limited (only a RabbitEars entry that does not list any programming and says the station is off the air) — I suspect this does not meet the GNG. Since TV Red Puerto Rico no longer owns this station, a redirect there no longer seems valid — and barring some form of protection having anything at this title will only continue to lead to more unsourced/poorly-sourced IP edits.

I like this idea. But can you clarify why not a merge?

With respect to the WP:N issue, some of the references at Freeway lid look like they are addressing more than one example--they are talking about it more generally.

I also note that "coverage as a group" is described on Wikipedia:LISTN as an example of a justification, not as a necessary condition. Ccrrccrr (talk) 20:43, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a whole, Wikipedians are very good at listing every example to any given topic but very bad at making good lists.

I think I understand and agree ... just to check my understanding, you want the number of examples to stay similar to the number at the Lid article, rather than growing to be more like the List of structures. Right? If so, I agree.

I also note that the list has the problem that the criteria are unclear. Would every building above a tunnel, or for that matter every lamp post above a tunnel, qualify? Ccrrccrr (talk) 00:41, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The largest shooting in List of mass shootings in the United States in 2023. Coverage is significant and on-going since the shooting on the night of the 15th. It is not only front page news in the US, but also in the UK. For example BBC and Telegraph are on their main pages on the 17th as I'm writing this. With such in-depth international coverage, it meets Wikipedia:Notability (events) easily. --Mvqr (talk) 14:47, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On that discussion it was deemed the article was not notable and not well written enough for WP's "front page". That is not to say it is not notable enough to have an article. WP has bazillions of articles that will never make it to the "front page", yet we don't delete those. I might agree that WP's bar for notability is sometimes too low, and that there are plenty of shootings, but this one gets wide coverage, including international coverage. It had a few articles on the newspaper I subscribe in Portugal. - Nabla (talk) 12:02, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge - As most users said above, there is a large number of casualties for both deceased and injured, and it also has had significant coverage from various agencies including ones outside the United States (i.e. BBC). I don't think a shooting of this scale should be wiped off the face of Wikipedia, however if for some reason it's deemed not "significant" Then might I suggest it being merged into the history section of the town itself. It's a relatively small place that isn't particularly well known for much else, so this event is undoubtedly important for this community and will likely be remembered by them more than the average american.

Hispanos[edit]

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

The term "Hispanos" seems to be rarely used in scholarship dealing with the population this article is about - and from what I can tell none of the sources this article cites establish notability. The Census citation's link no longer works, but from what I can tell the US Census Bureau does not recognize "Hispano" or anything similar as a cohesive ancestry or ethnic group (a code list from 2010, pages 295-296, I've found doesn't use the term at all). "The Spanish Surname Criterion" defines "Hispano" as equivalent to the modern category "Hispanic and Latino Americans" - although the "native Spanish Americans" it mentions seem to be the descendants of Spanish-speaking settlers in the Southwest this article claims to describe. The two sources with archived links are both about Hispanos of New Mexico specifically, and the Alexander B. King source is just about historical Californios. So, none of this article's sources actually establish that the term "Hispanos" is widely used to refer to the descendants of early Spanish and Mexican settlers in the American Southwest as a whole.

Additionally, this article's exact scope is unclear. The lead sentence mentions "independent Mexico" but the article also mentions Louisiana Isleños.

Speaking of scope, I'm not sure the article's subject, descendants of Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the territories Mexico ceded to the US in 1848, actually do constitute a meaningful ethnic or cultural group - the sources cited don't establish this.

It's also noteworthy that several people in this article's talk page have previously objected to its existence and that most of the article's content is unsourced. Erinius (talk) 08:55, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Highway Blossoms[edit]

Seems to fail WP:GNG - a WP:BEFORE search only found a single review from Hardcore Gamer and a paragraph from PCGamesN. Everything else is rather trivial, or from somewhere that isn't vetted as reliable. The reception is definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel to make it SEEM notable, but the sources don't support that. (See WP:SIGCOV) ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:09, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Video games-related deletion discussions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:09, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The two Hardcore Gamer, first TheGamer, and PCGamesN sources establish GNG. You may want to call most of the other sources "trivial", but I would say they are simply supplemental sources that help cite sentences in the article that if left unsourced would be silly and unhelpful.

The only source that isn't currently vetted as reliable as per WP:VG/RS is the Inverse one but that source is listed as having inconclusive discussions on that issue. The two discussions lead me to believe that it should be treated as at least situationally reliable. I would lean to voting reliable if a new discussion on it was added to WP:VG/RS.

This article existed for about 15 hours before being tagged with an AFD and I'm not necessarily anti-deletion but I don't see how these taggings help. The subject is not egregiously or blatantly unsuitable for Wikipedia, and it's honestly akin to a stub article right now. Not letting it have a moment to breathe, as I planned to look for some more sources in addition to the ones I already found, is not entirely constructive in my opinion. Soulbust (talk) 04:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TheGamer is a situational source in WP:VG/S - it's not applicable to establish notability due to its notoriety as a content mill.

I should also point you directly to WP:GNG, where it says, "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability." You can't use two Hardcore Gamer sources to count towards the requirement of multiple sources.

Regardless of whether the article is under construction, you made it in main space rather than as a draft, which seems to indicate that you believe it can stand on its own in its current state. Still, my own search didn't find anything so I find it fairly unlikely they exist at all. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:05, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I should also add that Highway Blossoms gets a very brief shout-out in the Inverse article; which gives slightly more opinions about the studio's later games though I'm not sure I'd call any one game in the article significant coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:31, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TheGamer is situationally reliable yes. But its usage in this article is still suitable as both references sourced by TheGamer are after August 2020 - as per WP:VG/RS, "News posts and original content after August 2020 are considered generally reliable."

If you want to count the Hardcore Gamer as one source, that's fine fine. It still establishes GNG, along with the PCGamesN source.

Probably all articles can be called "under construction", so that's not really my main point. But this article was just made, and especially in that case, I would ask does deletion of this article help, at least this soon? Soulbust (talk) 05:45, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:GNG: for significant coverage, the topic "does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Highway Blossoms has about the same amount of coverage in Inverse that it does in PCGamesN. Its coverage in the former is direct and in detail, satisfying GNG, and furthermore offers sourcing on a pretty noteworthy pieces of information, namely why the writer sought to work on the game, and that the game's reception inspired him to found the studio. I would say this constitutes as helping establish notability. Soulbust (talk) 05:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am normally pretty lenient on games that will probably be notable at some point. This is not such a case, as Highway Blossoms is a 2016 game - it's unlikely to garner any further RS mentions, especially with the studio moving on to later and greater things. So, WP:ITSHARMLESS is not really an argument here.

The portion of The Inverse article that is about the game is as follows: Josh Kaplan’s first game, Highway Blossoms, sees a young girl named Amber gradually fall in love with her friend Marina in the American Southwest. Only a few years out of high school himself at the time, Kaplan wanted to see more yuri visual novels (a subgenre that focuses on female romantic relationships) in the space. So he co-wrote his own. This is not significant. This is hardly even trivial. And it offers no opinion from the article's writer. There is no way this counts towards notability. Even if we did consider TheGamer article reliable, it's also a trivial mention. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:03, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Inverse source also includes "In 2016, there weren't a whole lot of yuri visual novels available in English, especially on Steam, and the game ended up being unexpectedly successful,” Kaplan tells Inverse. “It found an audience of primarily LGBT readers who appreciated what they felt was a more realistic approach to same-sex relationships." Inspired by the response to Highway Blossoms, Kaplan founded Studio Élan.

This and the portion you quoted in your reply is short coverage sure, but not trivial. WP:TRIVIAL also states "On the other hand, the notability guideline doesn't require that the subject is the main topic of the source material, only that it's more than a trivial mention. The spirit and the letter of the guideline are concerned with having enough content to write articles from a neutral point of view." That last sentence is important, because the sources provided are valid. The PCGamesN and Hardcore Gamer sourcing establishes GNG. For TheGamer, WP:VG/RS is pretty clear that the source is considered reliable post-August 2020, so there is no "even if we did consider TheGamer article reliable" that applies here, as you stated. The only thing WP:VG/RS advises against is using it to demonstrate notability. But since, the source is not a trivial mention, it adds as suitable reliable sourcing that helps this article follow the spirit and the letter of the guideline, which is simply to make sure there is enough content to write about from a neutral POV.

Strong Delete per nom. Starship 24 (talk) 16:19, 10 April 2023 (UTC) — Starship 24 (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Starship SN20 (talk · contribs). [reply]

Keep: Draftify/Userfy: Per the discussion below, I concede that the sources necessary to prove notability for an article on the game simply aren't there yet. However, I still feel that the article should be kept in draftspace or userspace, if for no other reason than I'd like to try to improve it myself.
In addition to the Hardcore Gamer and PCGamesN posts, which seem to have consensus as counting towards GNG, I've also found sources from Noisy Pixel ([18]), Gayming Magazine ([[19]), Anime News Network ([20]), and Erica Friedman/Yuricon ([21], [22]), the latter two of which are described in WP:A&M/RS as situationally reliable for contexts such as these.
If this article is still deleted anyway, I'd like to suggest that it be retained as a draft, either in draftspace or in userspace. Even if this topic never becomes independently notable, I believe there's a pretty good chance that Studio Elan as a whole may be at some point worthy of a standalone article (if they aren't already), in which case the contents and sources of this article would likely be worth keeping around to merge into that article. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 15:23, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's pretty clear the Anime News Network post is not WP:SIGCOV. The Yuricon review is unreliable per WP:BLOG, which is a Wikipedia policy that can't be overridden by someone's opinion from 2009. I don't believe Erica Friedman's considered a subject matter expert whose work has appeared in WP:RS - the only evidence shown is that she made a listicle once for About.com, which is a ridiculously low bar. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:26, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Studio Elan is also not even close to being independently notable yet. In Google results they're neck and neck with a random beauty studio somewhere. Heart of the Woods is the only encyclopedic output thus far, since it got reviews from Siliconera, Digitally Downloaded and Rock Paper Shotgun, all reliable sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:32, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's interesting. I took a look at the RS/N discussion, and concede that the grounds upon which Erica Friedman was deemed a reliable individual for the subject are pretty flimsy, apart from being that she's in charge of a publishing house, which I guess doesn't mean anything- but she has apparently written a book (published by a different publishing house) and been described by an expert in this press release than ANN reposted here. She did also write an article for WP:ANIFEM in 2019, and is cited in this one as a "Yuri scholar," so, all that considered, that might make her a reliable individual. This is a discussion out of scope of this AfD, so I'll probably be taking it to a different talk page.
I do concede, however, that even if she would be good enough to cite as an opinion on the game if it were proved notable, it's not good enough by itself- so, as such, I think I'm going to change my vote to drafity. (I still think the article should be draftified, if for no other reason than I'd like to at least have the opportunity to workshop it myself.) silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 18:17, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Yuri scholar" is obviously tongue-in-cheek, I don't see evidence of her being a literal scholar. She seems like your standard blogger to me, rather than an academic source, nor is the analysis the slightest bit academic. Feel free to attempt to find more sources, but you can't make them pop out of thin air where there are none. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:10, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, if we don't find any sources, or no other editors agree with me (like I said, I'm looking into it and intend to open a discussion about it elsewhere), then I'll happily admit that I was wrong and she's not reliable. I'm not trying to start a fight about it or fabricate anything. But like I said, I'm pretty sure this is out of scope for this AfD. I'll likely be opening a talk about this here and/or at RS/N, and if/when I do, I'm sure your comments will be welcomed. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 19:25, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4: Thank you for contributions and help with this article. I had noticed the Gayming, Noisy Pixel, and Anime News Network sources before but refrained from including/using them because the former two aren't listed at VG:RS at all, though we should probably fix that and start a discussion on whether they should be listed as reliable or not. The latter as well as Okazu didn't really process for me when making the article either but if they are deemed suitable for this article then that's great.

I've started a very rough draft for Studio Élan, which I think can stand on its own and the merging of this into that (or perhaps vice versa akin to how Team Cherry is currently a redirect into Hollow Knight) would be preferable than the straight up deletion of this article, though I still maintain Keeping this would be the most preferable option. Soulbust (talk) 23:04, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please be cognizant of the difference between WP:PRIMARY and WP:SECONDARY sources because you seem to be assuming interviews count towards notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:55, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not assuming that. Again the draft page for the studio is currently very rough. Soulbust (talk) 16:31, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One discussion we probably could be having is if the sources that WP:ANIME considers reliable and the sources that WP:VG considers reliable should be coordinated in some fashion. While there is a clear distinction between more anime focused sources and more video game focused sources, there is some natural overlap between them as anime and video games are interests with many of the same demographics (you'll find anime reviews on IGN just as soon as you'll find game reviews on ANN). There is also overlap in subject matter as well, as there are anime-based/inspired video games, video game inspired anime, and visual novels, which is something that apparently was considered with the visual novels taskforce jointly formed between the two at one point- although that appears to be inactive.
I would say, in general, that the two different lists of sources for both are pretty comparable, although obviously the selection of video game-focused sources is much larger. I don't know. Again, out of scope of this AfD, but likely still worth thinking about later. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 01:30, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I have learned that yuri scholar is actually a real thing. Touche.

Still, I have had sources written by Derek Yu, arguably a massively more prominent figure in the gaming scene, shot down simply because they were in an unreliable source, so I am dubious that simply because she had written a scholarly work in the past, anything self-published by her is reliable. If so that would be a big deviation from how I assumed reliable sources work. If that is the case, I'd err on the side of the game being notable, but I am not sure others would agree. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm no scholar of this particular "thing", but the mentions seem trivial. We'd need more native-language sourcing to see how it's talked about there. I have no desire to fall down this rabbit hole myself. Oaktree b (talk) 15:30, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The sourcing is native language; this visual novel was produced in English (and to my knowledge has no Japanese translation, though there might be sources in the two other languages it does have translations in). It seems unlikely that there are more sources than this, so I think I still support a draftify or maybe a redirect to Heart of the Woods. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 16:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't want to google it, especially at work. Still leaning !delete. Oaktree b (talk) 18:10, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know why you say the mentions seem trivial, to maybe help out with that in future editing of this article.

As mentioned above, I don't think the TheGamer, Hardcore Gamer, PCGamesN, or Inverse sources are trivial mentions. The Okazu and Gayming Magazine sources also fall under non-trivial coverage. Sure, there are some sources that are just a sentence or two, but those are okay for inclusion since they are supplemental sources that are useful for verification. But at any rate, some clarification on why you say the mentions seem trivial would perhaps help me edit this. Thanks, Soulbust (talk) 01:01, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Soulbust: There's only a single instance of WP:SIGCOV and that is Hardcore Gamer's review. PCGamesN has a grand total of 4 sentences, 2 of which are opinion. Inverse has, like, a single sentence mention, and TheGamer is situational and can't be used for notability. As for Okazu and Gayming Magazine, there's no evidence they're WP:RS. WP:GNG requires multiple significant sources.

@Oaktree b: The game has slight optional adult content, but it's more romance fiction than an erotic game, so I don't think you have to be concerned about going down a "rabbit hole". ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've already said my piece about Okazu and there has since been a more recent discussion about that, so I won't repeat myself on that front. However, Gayming Magazine does appear to have some kind of editorial control, given that they list an Editor-in-Chief for the publication on their parent company's "About" page, and apparently the company's publications have been covered or referenced by several known RSes. Certainly not conclusive evidence of anything, but not nothing either. silvia (BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 06:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Even assuming Gayming is definitively notable without a shadow of a doubt, it's not SIGCOV either, just an announcement posting. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:26, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already commented on the Inverse and TheGamer sourcing above. As for PCGamesN, in your nomination of this article for deletion, you excluded the source from the "Everything else" that is "rather trivial". However, if you changed your mind on that source, the WP:SIGCOV guideline states: ""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."

So, I don't know why there is a need to zero in on "a grand total of 4 sentences, 2 of which are opinion". Those 4 sentences address the topic directly. I would argue in detail (i.e. mentioning game aspects like its soundtrack and visuals, is detail to me). I will say that's perhaps subjective, and maybe you think that isn't enough detail. But I would say that because the guideline doesn't mention any explicit length requirement (and only that we wouldn't have to use a source in a way where original research is need to extract content), that this is valid as detail. And it simply isn't trivial, in my opinion, since it discusses concrete things about aspects of the game.

More importantly: In the article, the PCGamesN source is not used in an original research manner; it is used for citing an opinion from an outlet listed as reliable, and it's used aptly in the reception section.

Regardless of all that, this article still has the Hardcore Gamer sourcing, as well as the Okazu and Gayming source that look reliable to me. Like mentioned elsewhere in this AfD, discussion on Okazu has been linked. And we would just need some further formal discussion for the latter at VG:RS perhaps, but yeah I'd agree with silvia's points on Gayming. And we also have a lot of supplemental sourcing present here to help flesh the article out. TheGamer source in particular being a non-trivial RS coverage is really helpful in regards to this. There is plainly enough here to write about in a way that presents the information in a neutral, reliably sourced manner and doesn't go off on original research tangents. Soulbust (talk) 07:42, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The Hardcore Gamer and Rock Paper Shotgun sources seem to be enough, and there are more, less helpful sources. Seems very notable to me. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:53, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@QuicoleJR: I am not sure which source you mean - if you are referring to "The 10 Best Visual Novels on PC", Highway Blossoms is not actually listed as one of those 10 VNs. It is only mentioned in the "What else should I be playing if I like this?" section in a single sentence, "If you want to stick with acclaimed romantic dramas, you'll find the right mix of sweetness and sentiment in If My Heart Had Wings or Highway Blossoms." This is trivial coverage. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:39, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leonard Arthur Bethell[edit]

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

This article has been twice rejected at AFC - rightly in my view - but moved by its creator into mainspace. I think it needs to go back to draft for further work. Too much reliance on primary sources, long sections of unsourced material, and speculation. What is lacking is depth coverage in reliable independent sources.

Delete Doesn't seem to pass AUTHOR. I did a newspaper search at the LOC from 1870 to 1915. His name never turns up. I'd expect some kind of mention of his books. Oaktree b (talk) 20:43, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I expected this to be a delete, but it's probably not, I think he's a keep. That Oaktree b didn't find his books on searching for his real name might be because he published under the pseudonym "Pousse Cailloux", as the article says, and also using merely his initials with no name. He and his books do get mentions by others, e.g. an article in the Journal of Asian Studies by Carrington[23], and he's quoted here[24]. I find his books still widely on sale in the second hand market, which implies that they sold well in his day; I found multiple copies of Jungle Tales and Garden of the Hesperides available for sale everywhere from the UK to New Zealand. I suspect he was a sufficient author in his day to pass. The article could do with some work; some parts of it are rather interesting original research and include speculation that isn't appropriate in WP; for example, we should not make the connection between the date of his house being bombed and the death of his wife, that should be done elsewhere and then reported here. Elemimele (talk) 21:53, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Pousse Cailloux" brings up an article about the French 75 pounder gun in newspapers from 1916. Mentions him briefly [25] still not enough for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 01:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I found two of his books in LOC - 'His Majesty's Shirt-sleeves' 1930, and 'Tales from the Outposts' 1932. Maybe the search window (from 1870 to 1915) was too narrow ? Charles.bowyer (talk) 18:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify per nom. The article in its current state doesn't provide evidence of notability, and I was unable to find any significant coverage online. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 08:46, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that LOC (Library of Congress - I assume) is the best place to look for him. British Library (Asian section) is better - there you will find his letters, in the manuscript section (restricted section in fact), his books, and other references. Some parts of my article can be easily changed, but the problem area is 'notability'. I believe him to be notable - from the books he published - but trying to match Wikipedia's standard measures has been a struggle. Apart from the British Library entries, I can say that the authors he worked with on 'Tales from the Outposts' include significant national and literary figures - I count 19 Wikipedia entries among them. (See article). Charles.bowyer (talk) 19:47, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

::Algeria is hard to source and almost impossible in English. The French article is longer, but not all that much help. It does say that the Algerian were there with armored vehicles. I could, actually, conceive of such a battle being ignored since Algeria would have been newly independent and probably wasn't expected to stand chance against Israel. That doesn't mean that that's what happened though. As far as the author goes, he was a wartime general who saw action in this war. How is that not notable. I think you must be getting that assessment by looking for book reviews or something. I also strongly suggest checking in Arabic.

I thought it might be useful to add some background – because a number of people have asked me the question, why am I interested in Bethell.? Over the years, I have read widely – some books stay with you, some don’t. Bethell has stayed. Not my top author, but at number 15 in my top 30. Virtually all the others in the top 30 are well-known and respected authors and all except 2 have articles on Wikipedia. Bethell is one of the two, of course. His books are known but there is nothing about the person. It was suggested it was time something was put up about him. It was further suggested that I should be the person to do this! So here I am.

PS can someone tell me the correct way of putting a comment on this stream? at the moment I’m using text edit and it doesn’t produce all the features. Charles.bowyer (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

He had been with the Assam Military Police for a number of years. Bethell was a strange and in some ways eccentric character, and many stories were told about him and his unorthodox disciplinary methods, but there was never any criticism of his work as the Depot Commander throughout the war, and the 1st Battalion owed him a deep debt of gratitude for the fine drafts he sent it. He never lost sight of the one essential—that the depot existed for the sole purpose of maintaining the Battalion in the field by sending it the best trained material possible in the time available—and he also showed unusual breadth of vision in the great care he took to safe-guard the health and happiness of the families of the men on service. The Indian Army system proved to be antiquated and unsuited to the demands of modern war, and Bethell summed the situation up well when he wrote: ..."

  The journal notes on 80: "Some months ago, I think it was in the July, 1931, number of "Blackwood's Magazine," an article entitled "Experiments in the Primitive," appeared written under the nom-de-plume of Forepoint Severn. This was an excellent article, covering entirely new ground, in which the author showed, for the first time, probably, in the history of shikar, that there is a definite peculiar influence which man exerts over animals. There is some peculiar form of mental "telepathy" which, if a man sits waiting patiently, murder in his heart, to shoot an animal, seems to warn that animal, who probably never appears. How far that influence can act, and to what range, has not yet been discovered; but that such an influence is present is coming to be more and more universally recognized."
  The book notes on page 81: "Anyhow, whatever theories people may have about this, we do all of us owe a debt of gratitude to "Forepoint Severn" for his courage in being the first to bring to light what must, after all, have seemed at first sight to be a crazy theory."

Duplication of History of Israel. Recently, the page creator already tried to split the main article, but there was no consensus to do that, because there are already more than enough of WP:CFORK on this topic (History of Israel, History of Palestine, History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel).

Speedy keep: A bizarre request to delete an article that quite clearly deserves to exist. Most countries have an article for their history since their independence/contemporary-ear founding through to present, or some sort of other article focused specifically on their contemporary history, not least History of India (1947–present), History of Pakistan (1947–present), History of France (1900–present), History of modern Greece, History of modern Egypt, History of modern Tunisia, History of modern Mongolia, History of modern Serbia, etc. This is due to the obvious interest to readers in specifically reading about a country's formation and/or contemporary history in its own right, as well as it being an obvious wiki platform-friendly point for the division of content. The content here is already at 70kB, which rather proves the point that it is a substantial body of content in its own right, and there is plenty more than can be expanded upon; it is possible that further child articles created from this content may also need to be created. The page has already drawn in additional material from other relevant child pages that the body of content would not have been able to absorb in its existing format as a sub-section of an already grossly overlength parent article. In the absence of a consensus in the aforementioned split discussion, the WP:SPLIT guideline notes: "Failure to reach a consensus, whether the result of a split discussion or a bold split that was contested, usually results in the article remaining whole. A contested bold split may be reverted; however it is not always appropriate to redirect the new article to the old as the new article may stand on its own, even if the main article that it came from is not split." (my emphasis) - i.e.: exactly the situation we have here. This article has every right to exist, regardless of the material not yet being removed from parent article due to lack of agreement over how to deal with it. The page has already been edited by 6 other editors, none of whom have raised even a murmur of objection to its validity - a situation already constituting a significant WP:SILENTCONSENSUS on this. I, obviously, also do not agree with you.

Nothing was agreed. A discussion reached a no consensus, inconclusive outcome, and the means by which to best go about rationalizing History of Israel remains unresolved. It remains an issue.

Keep: As someone who voted against the split proposal in the past, now I see it's much better to have a more specialized article for post-1948 history, provided the original article on History of Israel also has some summarized content on this period, albeit in a reduced form. Plus this would solve the extra size issue in the larger article. For the record, History of Germany has far more than 140kb, but even in that case they made separate articles to deal with different periods specifically.

Keep I wanted to wait a bit to see the opinions of some of those who had participated in the previous split discussion. My initial reaction was that the article focusing on modern history of Israel post-Israeli Declaration of Independence should exist on its own, so I am glad to see a lot of other editors express the same sentiment. I think this is a good example of a logical split and it is clear the previous "no consensus" discussion was leaning toward some kind of solution, so to accuse the author (who has clearly put a lot of work into this page) of going against consensus does not seem very constructive. As for the nominator, I can't help but wonder why you are so determined to eliminate this article? You have not refined your argument since CSD request, which multiple editors having already objected to your line of reasoning on the talk page.

Company commander[edit]

Article unsourced since 2007. WP:BEFORE search very problematic given the number of war memoirs with this title that are not particularly about this topic.

This is basically a collection of unsourced WP:DICDEFs. The relevant content can all better be covered at Company (military unit) so I propose redirecting to that page - ultimately all they are doing is repeatedly re-stating that a company commander is typically a captain or major and there are training courses for command (content already included in that article).

Kurds of European ancestry[edit]

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

Initially, this page included a handful of references, but when I started checking each to verify the information they were placed after, I was confused to find that all I viewed until now failed verification, most of which discussed nothing relevant to the article’s topic. Earlier signs of this problem are also evident in one of the edits of the creator, where they altered sourced information (the table below), while adding another reference (that also failed verification). Another example is Headbomb’s check, where they couldn’t find any such source listed in the article. This is a very clear instance of WP:CUCKOO. Seemingly random page numbers and sometimes random titles, random sources.

Now, with the cuckoo content removed, the article is not coherent anymore and much of the remaining unchecked content will also probably fail verification. I thought of how the article could be improved. The only relevant information regarding who "Kurds of European ancestry" might be is the table, but we already have the page Chechen Kurds, which refers to Kurdified Caucasian immigrants. The original version of the article discussed Balkan immigrants to Kurdistan, but I was unable to find any sources on that. Even if there were such sources, this article wouldn’t be appropriate, since it had to be renamed as something like "Balkan immigrants in Kurdistan" or with any term popular among the sources. "Kurds of European ancestry" in itself is not appropriate since none of the sources include this term and is thus a WP:OR/WP:SYNTH grouping. The research papers on genetics are placed after very general statements and are more appropriate in a page or section about the genetics of Kurds. Overall, I can’t think of how this article can be improved. Aintabli (talk) 05:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Kc, hm... About You Magazine lists their six account executives above their four editors...I'm a little leery this is paid content. A lot of these 'lifestyle' mags are. Tulsa World is unfortunately behind a paywall for me...it could be sigcov, but it's a little iffy if this coverage was basically a "what's just opened here" announcement. My feeling is that we need more than that, as that'll be true of any chain that opens in a new city and has a PR firm. If it is really a full, in-person review, I'd at least consider it a maybe, I guess? What I'd really like to see is something in a town two hours away that doesn't have one of these that is saying, "Hey, Waldo's...worth the trip to Tulsa, or at least worth a stop when you're dropping the filial unit at UT" or whatever.

You can email it to me, email's enabled on my user. FWIW, I just noticed this chain opened in 2019. That's worth considering because very few restaurant chains become notable that quickly, and the ones that do tend to get national coverage. Valereee (talk) 18:51, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI, see WP:RESTAURANTREVIEWS. The About You review by Jenny Boulden contains nothing about the company and reviews a single meal. The publication (About You magazine) does not appear to be particularly notable (neither it nor the parent "company" have a wikipedia article). Looking at RESTAURANTREVIEWS, it fails as it isn't a significant review as it does not provide "broader context". It also appears to have been published in the "blog" section of the website which would raise a question mark over whether it met editorial guidelines - for example, compare the same writer's article on Murray's Restaurant where the byline identifies the publication as "Magazine" and not "Blog". HighKing⁺⁺ 17:23, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AYM lists editors, but I do not see editorial standards listed. TW is still more local. Of course this chain will get local press in places it opens a new location. That is part of your every day run of the mill press. The media on a larger scale has not taken notice of the chain. Maybe when they get to a level of having hundreds of locations there will be significant coverage, but everything listed and what I can find fails WP:ORGCRIT (especially since most are routine announcements).

Keep, on balance. I've added some content and references to the article, though too many of the sources look as if they are based on press releases or other primary sources. My main reason for !voting Keep is that I'm pretty sure there is offline coverage of this in reliable sources. Funding and responsibility for the canal network has been written about, and there is a story here about lack of investment and this organisation going under which I'm sure would have received coverage at the time - the Falkirk Herald article, for instance, suggests that there was earlier coverage of the organisation's financial problems. I did wonder about suggesting a merge to its successor organisation, Keep Scotland Beautiful, but the history of the various bodies responsible for the waterways is probably too complicated to make that sensible. Tacyarg (talk) 01:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep per Tacyarg's improvements to the text and references, also agreeing with that user's reservations about the possible merge target (The Waterways Trust could be another), etc. As others have said, there is available coverage of initiatives by the SWT (seeking to establish specialist college places [27]; outreach programme at Falkirk Wheel [28]) before it was overtaken by financial problems. Local coverage, but I think on balance there is enough overall to retain this part of the history of charitable provision. AllyD (talk) 06:11, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This organisation was only active for a brief period of several years, but there is coverage in a range of sources, in particular in relation to the canal college initiative that they developed.

Keep - @GiantSnowman:, I found [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], and [40], among many many more sources. Clearly significant figure in Tanzanian football. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 07:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
None of these are in English, so I can't comment of the substance of the articles, but if this is the calibre of article that counts for significant coverage, literally any player with a couple of mentions in local papers could be considered notable. Nswix (talk) 20:06, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO. Sources in article and BEFORE showed ROUTINE sports news, promo, stats, nothing from IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. The above source are all ROUTINE sports news, nothing that shows subject meets N; normal everyday sports news does not show notability. // Timothy :: talk 09:11, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Many of the sources are clearly not routine (for instance from three sources, titled "Who is Kibu Denis?", "The Kibu that carries the lion", and "Salute to Kibu Denis": "Kibu's journey started at Kumuyange FC, in Ngara, Kagere where he was playing in the Third Division League, he played and promoted to the Second Division League. Geita Gold FC in Geita liked him and needed his services so they signed him while they were playing in the First Division League. Mbeya City saw him in the Play Offs matches last season. Mbeya City at that time were fighting not to be relegated while Geita Gold FC themselves were fighting to go up to the Premier League. Mbeya City managed to stay in the Premier League after winning on aggregate. Kibu Denis' football journey continued after signing with Mbeya City. Kibu Denis participated for the first time by playing in the Tanzania Mainland Premier League. While he was in Mbeya City while playing for the first time in the Premier League, his team is not doing well in the league, it is currently fighting not to be relegated but Kibu Denis is lighting a fire", "KIBU Denis, since he joined Simba last season from Mbeya City, he has been among the players who get a chance to play in the first team under different coaches who have passed through Msimbazi and today he has revealed something that carries him. Kibu joined Simba, under French coach Didier Gomes who believed in him and gave him a chance and later Gomes left the team to be under Rwandan Thiery Hitimana who was also preparing Kibu's first team despite the coach staying in the team for a short time. Later came the Spaniard, Pablo Franco who used Kibu as a winger before he left and came Zoran Maki this season who despite staying for a short time was using him and now under Juma Mgunda the situation has continued like that", "As for Kibu, he ends the season as Simba's most important player. He is a player that some people do not accept. However, every day he continues to be an important player just because of his dedication. He is not a very talented player but he has compensated for his shortcomings because of his dedication. Simba is in a season that fans and leaders see as bad. The team bosses tried to bring back Clatous Chama in the squad but, Kibu has continued to be the most important player in the club despite his level dividing the fans and bosses of the team. For now you can also trust Kibu in front of Pape Sakho. You can trust Kibu in front of Chris Mugalu and others. It is possible that they have more knowledge than Kibu but Kibu is involved in more events because he is more dedicated. Something seems to be running behind him. Something that inspires him. He has lived in exile for a long time. I am told that he has lived a lot in refugee camps. Soccer is the game that has removed him from those camps and brought him to the nice hotels where he lives with his Simba team and the national team. Such a person cannot look back. He will do everything he can not to return to that life. We have players who are playing football because of their heritage houses. Others are playing because they are told they have great talent by fans. They see no reason to be active because they are told by the fans that football is like a bicycle. If you can drive you can't forget." etc etc)

Also, he is a young player with an ongoing career as a clearly significant figure in Tanzanian football and has an ongoing career in the Tanzanian national team and Tanzanian Premier League, both of which receive lots of media coverage.

On a side note, this pro deletion users comments make zero sense considering they voted keep for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Felipe Ortiz (footballer) , a footballer who has much less coverage of any kind, and that their most recent article (made in March 2023) is about a current Ukrainian photographer whose birth date is unknown and basically only has primary sources online... (which I am fine with, but trying to delete others articles with much more sources of any kind while creating those kinds of articles truly boggles the mind, the double standard makes no sense whatsoever). Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 20:18, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Does seem to be weakly notable, although the grammar and quality of the article is terrible. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:45, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - there's enough there in the sources provided by Das. For example, Binzubeiry, Meridian and Tanzania Web are all lengthy articles which discuss different aspects of Denis' career and certainly give him more than a trivial mention. I'm not familiar with the sources so perhaps someone will be able to prove that they are not WP:RS, in which case please let me know. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:57, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Bin Zubeiry Sports' website (binzubeiry.co.tz) indicates that it is a blog designed by DeveloperTz. There's no byline for the article linked above, so I suspect it's a WP:SPS we cannot use.

Meridianbet is a Belgrade-based online gaming company, which apparently has an affiliate in Tanzania, and both run internet portals that offer sports news (meridianbetsport.co.tz is the Tanzanian portal). There is a byline (we only get Dickson as the author's name though), and the portal doesn't appear to be self-published. I think we can use this one, and it's more in-depth than the others, so that's helpful.

Tanzania Web (tanzaniaweb.com) is hosting/re-posting an article originally from Mwanaspoti (mwanaspoti.co.tz), which identifies itself as a blog. There is no byline, and I think it's clear this is a SPS that we cannot use.

Overall, it doesn't look like there is SIGCOV for this footballer. Jogurney (talk) 02:09, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - appears to be adequate sourcing available. ROUTINE is not applicable to people as it comes under the events notability guideline. Garuda3 (talk) 23:25, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You know that's not true. NOTNEWS says: Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion and Wikipedia is not written in news style. For example, 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. And NSPORT itself invokes ROUTINE: Local sources must be independent of the subject, and must provide reports beyond routine game coverage. JoelleJay (talk) 02:59, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the three sources called out by Spiderone appear to provide enough WP:SIGCOV to allow for a pass of WP:GNG. Frank Anchor 17:39, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Weak keep - Article appears to ~~fail~~ be able to satisfy WP:GNG. The sources available are almost entirely from self-published sources, but The Guardian (Dar es Salaam) and Meridianbet Sport articles are not. The one that looks the most promising is the Meridianbet Sport June 2021 article titled Unamjua Kibu Denis? Tunakumegea Kidogo. ~~Unfortunately, I don't think this is enough by itself. Jogurney (talk) 02:13, 25 April 2023 (UTC)~~ Taken together with The Guardian's coverage, I think there is just enough to be SIGCOV. Jogurney (talk) 14:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jogurney:, I don't know how the many secondary sources above couldn't possibly be enough or what you mean by "self-published" (e.g. the second source is by Mwanachi, a Tanzanian newspaper), but even then, I have found [41], [42] ("the striker who featured for Tanzania against Malawi in a friendly... has been an outstanding player for Mbeya City in the season that is about to end and his performance has generated interest"), [43] ("The muscular attacker rose to prominence once the footballer featured for Geita Gold FC in the 2020/21 Mainland Tanzania Premier League promotion/relegation playoffs fixtures against Mbeya City FC. Geita Gold FC that was then a First Division League side lost to Premier League's Mbeya City FC in the clashes, Kibu nevertheless impressed the latter that ultimately signed him. The attacker then proved to be a key player in the Mbeya-based squad as he linked with the rest of the outfit's players to see to it the club gets hold of its position in Premier League in 2020/21 season.Kibu thereafter won a call-up to the senior national team and he was then roped in by Simba SC") and [44] ("Denis has become part of the players that have failed to win the hearts of a host of Simba SC members and fans this season as the latter feel that the attacker is hardly a threat to opposing outfits' defenses whenever he gets a chance to play") among many many more sources. Even if he didn't somehow meet GNG, which he clearly does, using common sense, he is a young player with an ongoing career in the Tanzanian national team and Tanzanian Premier League, both of which receive lots of media coverage.

Anti-China terrorism in Pakistan[edit]

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

In this article, the facts are shown in a twisted way. Therefore, it is suggested to delete this article. Give your opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nooruddin2020 (talk • contribs)

Delete: I believe this article violates neutral point of view policy. Specifically, I have identified several examples of content on the page that present a biased or one-sided view of the topic without sufficient evidence to support such a view. For instance, the page appears to present a negative view of China and its relationship with Pakistan without taking into account important context or counterarguments. The information presented seems to rely heavily on anecdotal evidence or speculation rather than reliable sources, which undermines the credibility of the content. Terrorism is a broad topic and an issues in general in Pakistan, so making a point that only China is targeted in Pakistan is very biased rather both countries are cooperating to counter terrorism. Furthermore, I have found evidence from reputable sources that contradicts some of the claims made on the page. For example, 1, 2, 3 provides a more nuanced perspective on the issue that highlights the complexities and nuances of China's relationship with Pakistan. Umais Bin Sajjad (talk) 02:21, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve, obviously notable, as noted above. Please see Reasons for deletion and Alternatives to deletion.

Delete or merge into Terrorism in Pakistan. If the existence of this article is logical then there should be many articles like Anti-China terrorism in Pakistan, Anti-Afghan terrorism in Pakistan, Anti-Itran terrorism in Pakistan, Anti-India terrorism in Pakistan, etc. In this way, there should be articles about every country. Terrorism in Pakistan or Terrorism in ABCXYZ is enough to cover incidents --Ameen Akbar (talk) 18:32, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't follow. This article exists because there are multiple independent sources ([45], [46], [47], [48]) about this specific phenomenon that do not exist for other countries. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 19:56, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just visit US Travel Advisory Website and look at Afghanistan data from October 2002 to June 2022. There are 95 Terrorist Actions. There are sufficient WP:RS for every action. But, there is not any page titled Anti-America terrorism in Afghanistan. Same way for Israel, the West Bank, and Gaza, there are 27 Terrorist Actions. But there is no page like Anti-America terrorism in Israel. You can check data about all countries. You did not create any page about the US but created a page for Pakistan with only 6 incidents. Further, Chinese citizens are not attacked only in Pakistan. There are incidents of attacks on the Chinese in the Central African Republic and Congo. But, there is no page like Anti-China terrorism in Africa. You showed your LOVE only for Pakistan. You are opening the door for creating thousands of new page like this for every country, as I mentioned in my earlier comment. Ameen Akbar (talk) 16:03, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect I have read many articles like these which already cover the topic. After reading WP:FORK, this seems to be a clear example.--Cheel (talk) 19:21, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In this amount of detail, and all grouped together? Name the "many articles" please. Johnbod (talk) 23:05, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If we remove the Attacks section from the article which is obviously a result of WP:OR, the article is barely left with five references and even those do not support the title/topic of the article. Below is the list you asked for:

China Pakistan Economic Corridor#Security
Balochistan Liberation Army#Attacks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oriental Aristocrat (talk • contribs) 00:36, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Karachi Chinese consulate attack
Quetta Serena Hotel bombing
Dasu bus attack
Gwadar suicide attack
University of Karachi bombing Oriental Aristocrat (talk) 00:30, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! These areticles don't "cover the topic", they cover specific incidents. A basic function of an encyclopedia is to draw such incidents together and cover the actual topic. Johnbod (talk) 12:56, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge - The article seems to be a compilation of individual incidents rather than a coherent narrative or analysis of a specific topic and contain redundant or overlapping information. Thus a WP:CFORK. Ainty Painty (talk) 08:12, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again - the topic is notable. Saying the current version is not much good is not a reason for deletion. Johnbod (talk) 12:56, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think this article must be deleted due to its baseless subject.Engr.ismailbhutta (talk) 15:18, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Johnbod, Isolated incidents of terror attacks on individuals that happen to be Chinese does not constitute "anti-China terror attacks in Pakistan." There have been attacks on Pakistanis by Pakistanis or by Afghans or Arabs. We don't need an article for "Anti-Pakistan terror attacks in Pakistan." These are attacks on various individuals who just happen to be Pakistani.--Cheel (talk) 19:56, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly not always the case, especially for BLA attacks, where there is a coherent anti-Chinese policy. This is evidently a super-sensitive topic for many Pakistani editors, but Wikipedia does not accept censorship, which is what some opposes here amount to. Johnbod (talk) 21:50, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnbod: that is already covered at Insurgency in Balochistan, to which the relevant content should be merged.

I came to this page to improve it, but this game fails WP:SIGCOV, unfortunately. Instead of PRODing, I've brought to AfD as there are some sources that I found in my search, and I think it would benefit from a community discussion before deletion. The sources that I've found are noted below:

GameSpot (a reliable source per WP:VG/RS has an extensive preview of the game here ([51]).
The press release about the creation of the game is covered in a number of blog posts from reliable sources. ([52], [53], [54])

Delete: An article about a relatively briefly active production partnership company. While some references have become inaccessible online, they appear to have been announcement-based rather than in-depth coverage about this company itself. Searches find an at-launch piece describing the firm's backers and aspirations [58] but I don't see sufficient coverage to demonstrate that the company attained notability.

Keep - per COMMONSENSE and the fact that the nominator doesn't know what they are talking about (why mention WP:LEAD?! entirely irrelevant to notability) and they haven't done a BEFORE. A quick Google search brings up thousands of results, including this which confirms over 170 games in the Swiss top division, plus multiple cup and continental games. The topic is clearly notable; needs improving, not deleting. Giant Snowman 21:02, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per above. I found [59], [60], [61], [62], [63], and [64], among many many more sources. Defitneolty has offline sources also, having played over 170 games in the Swiss Super League in extensive pro career. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

Comment: @Brachy0008, you might find this guideline useful when nominating articles for deletion: WP:BEFORE. We judge whether to keep articles based on their WP:POTENTIAL to be improved, not their current state. Cheers! –Vipz (talk) 07:37, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary Consul of Germany in Puerto Rico is not a Wiki-notable achievement. (The wording is ambiguous: it is Klaus Ranner who became Consul General in Dubai.) Clarityfiend (talk) 01:14, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. No substantial coverage (the only Google Search results are accusations against a person of this name that I am unwilling to link here), and "honorary consul" is not a position that is inherently notable. Walt Yoder (talk) 17:36, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Union Chargeability Act 1865[edit]

Fails WP:GNG and no valid sources. There is an ununtilized section, so it appears under construction without its valid template. Brachy08 (Let’s Have A Kiki, I Wanna Have a Kiki) 00:28, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Satisfies GNG easily and by a very wide margin. There are entire books on this Act, and William Cunningham Glen's book is already cited in the article. There are clearly valid sources and there is no "ununtilized section". James500 (talk) 15:54, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per James500. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:11, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Agree there should not be an issue of notability, but that wasn't self-evident at the time the article was nominated. I have added several citations and have expanded the article somewhat to provide context. My text could use some attention from a person more familiar with this topic. The Caplan and Spectator articles are available online for free.
