Film production company that has mentions of films it has produced or distributed, but nothing in-depth that satisfied WP:CORPDEPTH. Would recommend a merge as an WP:ATD but know it would likely be contested based on recent editing I have seen in Indian film-related pages so taking to AfD for editors to decide.

Not a notable athlete; never won a medal. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 18:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Thank you for bringing this up because it gives us an important opportunity to improve the article. I added a few cites to the article. Athlete was a two-time Olympian who set school records for the Malone Pioneers in the 1970s before becoming a United Nations official. Both of those are leads for someone looking for more cites. --Habst (talk) 11:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Nothing beyond passing mentions in Newspapers.com (searching for just "Rosario" as well as "doRosario" and "do Rosario"). Being in the Olympics does not provide a presumption of coverage anymore.
JoelleJay (talk) 00:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay, thank you for voting. From my experience, Newspapers.com generally focuses on American coverage and I don't think it would list any Senegalese coverage of Dorosario. I just updated the article to use clippings instead of WMF Library links for some existing sources. I think we ought to at least attempt to find coverage in his native country before deciding to delete, do you know of any ways we could do that? --Habst (talk) 00:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no obligation to do extensive searches for offline sources when we don't have a presumption that they exist. If we had other articles on Senegalese Olympians of similar achievement and from the same time period for whom someone had found SIGCOV in specific offline sources, we might be able to presume finding the same coverage for this subject if we had access to those sources. But per two global consensuses, we explicitly cannot just assume that any region or time period had a sufficient degree of Olympics coverage in RS without evidence. NSPORT also requires a SIGCOV IRS source be cited in the article for it to remain in mainspace. JoelleJay (talk) 20:08, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't been able to find any coverage on this album minus the Amplifier article in the references (which are broken) and said website seemed to be a now-defunct music shop/distributor, so I'm not particularly sure how much I'd consider that a reliable source; the only other mention of this album I've been able to find right now was in a list of their discography. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 22:59, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Supergroove: The Amplifier article (archived here) has a good bit to say on this album. I don't know enough about the site to judge whether it's reliable or not, but without any bylines and the likelihood that those articles are just unedited press releases, it doesn't look great. Regardless, it's not enough on its own, and I couldn't find anything else supporting notability. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 12:20, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't know to what extent the following support keeping the article, but they are probably worth consideration for people making votes:
  • Keep, after thinking some more about the info in my comment above. I say that an album with independent sources (a) that review it, (b) that verify that it is award-winning, and (c) that verify that it is gold-certified is a notable album, and notable enough to merit an article. I have also found three additional reviews that are not on the publicly searchable web, but that anyone with a relevant database subscription can confirm:
  • The Waikato Times, 30 October 2003. Within a music review column titled "The Wrap". Reviewer: Tracey Chapman. Verdict: 2/5.
  • The Southland Times, 25 October 2003. "Supergroove show huge talent". Reviewer: Phil McCarthy. No numerical verdict afaict; positive in tone.
  • New Zealand Truth, 31 October 2003. "Still just can't get enough of band called Supergroove". Reviewer: South Kristian. No numerical verdict afaict; positive in tone.

Fails WP:SPORTSBASIC. Only source in the article is an Olympedia source which is not in-depth coverage, and does not satisfy notability guidelines. A BEFORE search doesn't show anything promising either. Tails Wx 03:24, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTGENEALOGY. Sourced entirely to one online genealogical self-published website. DrKay (talk) 19:22, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some pages have no sources See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Having other problematic pages is not a valid reason to keep another one that has issues of its own. Each article is evaluated based on its own merit. Also, lack of sources in an article is not necessarily equal to lack of notability, if one can demonstrate that significant coverage of the subject in secondary reliable sources does exist.

Mazi Melesa Pilip[edit]

The result was WP:SNOW keep. No support for deletion or redirection, except one !vote citing no evidence other than "per nomination." I had not seen Tbrechner's message, and had not noticed that WP:SNOW requires unanimity. I will be more careful in the future.

As a local level officeholder, Pilip does not meet, or not meet, GNG or NPOL. However, the kinds of ways that one can meet GNG or NPOL as a local politician are not present here (e.g. longevity). As a candidate, it is too early to see if her candidacy meets NPOL based on its historic importance. Her military career does not meet GNG for military officers (e.g. flag officer or an IDF Medal of Honor-equivalent) Mpen320 (talk) 21:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep With her background, Ms. Pilip is certainly a person of note in the political world, including that she has just been tapped to run for the Congressional seat vacated by former Congressman George Santos. This on the same day that Mpen320 has written this request for deletion. Cecropia (talk) 21:48, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Women, Ethiopia, Israel, and New York. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 23:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Some of the sources in the article, specifically the articles by Aish HaTorah ([1]) and The Forward ([2]), seems to indicate she meets WP:GNG. Additionally, I do not think WP:BLP1E applies here, as some of these sources which provide WP:SIGCOV are over two years old. Curbon7 (talk) 00:09, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    All that said, I strongly disagree with any WP:CRYSTALBALL keep rationales regarding what coverage she could get in the future. We're discussing the sources that exist here-and-now. Curbon7 (talk) 04:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The Aish article is written by a PR agency. Doesn't count towards notability from what I understand. The Forward is just routine coverage of a local election win. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 15:41, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    While the writer Kylie Ora Lobell does own a PR firm, the Aish article does not seem to be affiliated with that business; I note that writer is a contributor to a number of other Jewish publications ([3]) Curbon7 (talk) 04:12, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect: Pilip fails to meet WP:NPOL as a local non-major politician who has held office for not even two years. She has, however, received recent press coverage (Politico([4]), CNN([5]), Newsday([6]) as she has been nominated by the NY Republican Party to be their candidate in the NY-3 special election. The focus of these articles is not Melesa Pilip herself but is instead her relation to the NY-3 special election to replace former Congressman George Santos. Therefore, in this case, she does not have significant coverage; the election has significant coverage. The non-recent significant coverage cited by Curbon7 is valid, but I would argue that WP:BLP1E applies. As a result, she fails to meet WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV. Melesa Pilip should be redirected to the 2024 New York's 3rd congressional district special election page, which is now a heavily-related article to Melesa Pilip due to her recent nomination as the Republican candidate.Tbrechner (talk) 06:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She just received the party nomination for the open congressional seat in New York, which has received extensive national coverage. The race will be hotly contested and widely covered in the media as well. This should end this AfD discussion. It’s now obvious that this is a “Keep.” Go4thProsper (talk) 10:38, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply: So far, the race and Melesa Pilip's nomination for the Republican ballot line in such race have received national coverage, but Melesa Pilip herself has not received unrelated national coverage outside of the past coverage cited by Curbon7, which meets the criteria of BLP1E as coverage solely about Melesa Pilip is in the context of her local election position; Melesa Pilip is currently a low-profile individual and is likely to continue to be if she loses the special election; and her previous national coverage is not substantial. Therefore, she fails to meet both Wikipedia:SIGCOV and Wikipedia:GNG. If you think she meets the general notability guidelines, please specify how because, currently, she does not seem to meet them. Tbrechner (talk) 11:53, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply: I agree with Go4thProsper that this article should be kept. Mazi Melesa Pilip was elected to New York State's Nassau County Legislature representing Nassau County, Long Island's 10th district. This fact alone is notable and of interest to New Yorkers. Other county legislators for New York are in many articles on Wikipedia. If this article should be deleted then the other ones should too. I think that all articles identifying NYS County Legislators must be kept. You can't selectively keep some and not others. KhrisKerr (talk) 07:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Curbon7, I believe she meets WP:GNG. The Forward in 2021 and this, as well as more recent coverage: NYT here for example. --Deansfa (talk) 17:08, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    With due respect, if routine coverage from ethnic media of a local election (like The Forward's coverage) met the standard for notability, we'd have articles on many local politicians but we don't because that doesn't meet the standard of notability. What you refer to as "this" is a piece written by a public relations professional that refers to the Nassau County Legislature as the NY Legislature. The NYT coverage is coverage of the 2024 New York's 3rd congressional district special election which is where she should be covered until if and when she wins. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 15:36, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    it's always the same issue. we make some rules with very clear wording: "addresses the topic directly and in detail", "significant coverage in reliable sources", "sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability". All of those very clear expressions are met with The Forward, The New York Times and others (I could have provided 10 more "addresses the topic directly" articles in NYT-like sources). but there's always someone who wants to add a "yes but". I looked if "routine news" coverage and "ethnic media" (sic) was a disqualifier, "routine news" is mentionned in the case of events, not people. "ethnic media" seems to be totally fabricated. --Deansfa (talk) 22:24, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Dcpoliticaljunkie - your "coverage from ethnic media" disparagement of an RS is somewhat troubling. First, it is false to characterize her coverage as such - as you can see (if you do a wp:before type search), her coverage is broad nationally in the highest circulation publications in the US, and even extends to overseas. Second, you simply fabricate a rule of exclusion, that appears nowhere in WP rules. Third, while I am of course certain it is not what you meant, it does come across as statement that is perhaps just slightly repugnant. What's next? Delete all references from Black and Catholic and Armenian publications, or say that they do not count towards notability? Unsettling that your comment would be starting down this road.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:C4F:ED3C:CF8B:3CBB (talk) 06:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Conditional keep on election outcome. For now: I believe that Pilip is unusually well-covered for a minor politician, enough so to meet the WP:POLITICIAN guideline. Notability would be solidified by being elected, because a person elected to US Congress is inherently notable for that reason. In the other case, from a future observer’s POV, a local politician with very brief national coverage who once ran for federal office and lost doesn’t really warrant an article (assuming there was nothing further of note). I agree with the “rising star” postulation per Hila Livne and Drsruli. It seems best in line with WP:CRYSTALBALL that we presume Pilip meets the notability threshold. We can’t just predict that Pilip will have been a “flash in the pan”. 2600:1700:FD0:E200:18FD:AC48:5F48:27A8 (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Pilip has all the rights to remain on the Wikipedia page considering she's running for a congressional position which is New York's 3rd district for the United States House of Representatives. As an official Republican candidate for this position, people should know who she is, as such, the individual should remain on Wikipedia and this page should remain up. I have reason to believe there is no reason the page should be removed as she is a notable individual and should be treated as such considering her candidacy for a public office within the United States.

  • Snow Keep. Even the coverage from the past month alone would meet GNG. Really, a borderline absurd nomination. Which is why the above !votes reflect that this should be a snow keep. The nomination is a waste of the community's time, and the nominator should consider the cost to the community the next time they fail to do a wp:before search focused on gng. That's assuming good faith .. and that the nom didn't just happen upon the article in the first place after seeing the robust news coverage on the subject this week. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:C4F:ED3C:CF8B:3CBB (talk) 03:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as just passing WP:GNG, largely for the article in The Forward - as the current coverage of her previous campaigns and policies as an elected official show that WP:BLP1E does not apply. In general candidates for the US Congress should be redirected to the page about the election, but each subject should be evaluated to see if they would pass GNG prior to their candidacy (or the coverage is well beyond that of the average candidate, such as internationalized coverage). As it stands, the subject does not pass WP:NPOL as the only metric for a clear pass of the SNG is holding a national or statewide elected position. Receiving a party nomination is not in and of itself a reason to keep an article, nor is anyone entitled to a Wikipedia stand-alone page. (I have general thoughts here).--Enos733 (talk) 20:33, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate the essay-in-progress you linked. After quite the rabbit hole of reviewing candidate AfD outcomes, I'm withdrawing my redirect vote. I think filling out the essay a bit more and getting it included as a guideline in WP:AmPol would be quite useful. The Theresa Greenfield and Eliot Cutler examples are particularly insightful. Seems there's some precedent for keeping candidate articles if they've gotten enough coverage (a position that I actually prefer). Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:26, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a film, not properly sourced as passing WP:NFILM. This is of the "topic is a film that exists, the end" variety, and cites absolutely no reliable source coverage about the film to establish its notability, and it has existed in this state since 2011 without ever seeing a whit of improvement in over a decade -- and while there is an interlang to the Russian Wikipedia (though, strangely for a purportedly German film, none to the German Wikipedia), that article is longer but strictly single-sourced, so that source still wouldn't get this over WP:GNG all by itself.
As I can't read German or Czech, I'm more than willing to withdraw this if somebody with access to German or Czech language resources can actually find the sourcing needed to expand and salvage this, but just existing isn't "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to have any sourcing.

  • Merge to Greatest Hits Radio. There are timelines for many things but they have to meet GNG too for getting their own article. CharlesWain (talk) 18:27, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I don't see the need to delete this article, nor to merge. It feels like change/an action for the sake of it. It was this particular article that I first came across and learnt about the history of Greatest Hits Radio, not from the main Greatest Hits Radio article itself so from personal experience, I know it does have its place. It is one of the articles that encouraged me to become a more active editor on Wikipedia (not just on this particular article, but on those regarding other topics)
I don't see how it fails NLIST - "Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable" The group is question is the history/origins, dating back over 30 years, of one of the largest radio networks, in terms of number of stations, geographical spread and audience size, in the UK. If that's not notable, what is?!
Regarding WP:IS/WP:RS, multiple independent and reliable references show that Ofcom has had to make decisions about whether to grant permission to/approve requests from the network over the years. Those decisions will have involved discussion and consultation regarding this group of information both to assess the state of the market/radio industry at that time, and what effects, negative or positive, granting/approving such requests would have on the market and the relevant audiences.
At least 5 different BBC stations have similar "Timeline of..." articles, despite also having History sections in their main articles. I do not object to that, nor has anyone else judging by the complete absence of deletion or merge requests identical to this in the Revision history pages. Why single out this particular Timeline article for deletion or merging?
The only change I'd be willing to support is trimming the History section on the main Greatest Hits Radio article, and maintaining the existing redirection for "Further Information" to this article. People who are primarily visiting the main GHR article for current/up-to-date information about the channel (presenters, radio frequencies/availability on platforms, list of local variations etc) will be able to access that while not having to scroll past as much historical information, but will also be able to easily access the further detail this Timeline article provides.

The article literally had an AfD this year proving it wasn't notable, but I guess we have to do this a second time. The article's reception relies on particularly heavy WP:REFBOMBing, with one of the most content-full sources being a bachelor's thesis of dubious reliability. The majority of others are listicle type articles or trivial mentions in reviews of the game itself. There have not been any new sources made apparent since the previous AfD that prove Soma is a notable character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 11:06, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Upon review, Soma Cruz meets the criteria set forth by WP:GNG and WP:NFICTION with substantial coverage in reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. His character has been the focus of detailed discussions by game developers and in the gaming press, addressing his design, narrative role, and the broader impact on the Castlevania series. These discussions extend beyond routine game coverage, contributing to a broader understanding of his significance in video game history. The character's influence is recognized by industry professionals, who even further affirm his notability. The available sources provide a solid foundation for a standalone article, ala compliance with Wikipedia's verifiability and notability standards. Let games begin!
PD Slessor (talk) 11:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@PD Slessor: Given that the previous AfD months earlier found the precise opposite of this, that there were not in fact enough substantial secondary sources, what exactly are the WP:THREE best sources that prove this? Otherwise it amounts to a paragraph-long WP:SOURCESEXIST. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 12:29, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, red card. Let the games pause for a moment. This is all fine and dandy, but saying something is notable "because xyz" doesn't help. Please give extensive sources about this subject. Oaktree b (talk) 14:46, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I can't see that much has changed since last AfD in May; this is just name drops [13], this is a trivial paragraph [14] that mentions the character once. No coverage. Oaktree b (talk) 14:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore Redirect - Nothing has changed in regards to sourcing and notability for the character since the previous AFD from earlier this year that resulted in a unanimous consensus that a stand alone page for the character was not appropriate. Discounting the copious amounts of in-game quotes being used as references, pretty much all of the coverage in reliable sources are just ridiculously trivial mentions, or cherry picked quotes from general reviews of the game/franchise that mention him, being used as a WP:REFBOMB to give the illusion of significant coverage. Given that the previous AFD was so recent, had a clear consensus, and that the sourcing issues brought up in that AFD were not fixed or addressed, this really should not have been restored as an article without some kind of discussion. Rorshacma (talk) 19:23, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    It is unfortunate much work would be lost, but putting a lot of WP:HARDWORK into an article does not make it immune to deletion.

  • Restore redirect. My thoughts generally align with Rorshacma's and Shooterwalker's above, and there is little for me to say that has already been said. I was quite surprised to see this character article recreated after a previous AfD when little new coverage seems to have appeared, and would agree that there is a lack of SIGCOV to support this character. The Night Watch (talk) 23:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commment I tried rearranging the reception to make it easier to understand again and I honestly don't notice the big problem. There are several articles dedicated to several parts of his character besides reviews such as his alternative portrayal as a villain, the potential media gives him if Netflix makes him a protagonist and comparisons between Soma and other video game characters that are main topic of the articles.Tintor2 (talk) 23:59, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - In short, because the sources are either not significant coverage, or does nothing beyond plot summary. Take the sources regarding the animated series - it literally just sprang from an interviewer asking the producer if the character would appear in the series, to which a vague "I can't say anything, but I like the character" response was given. And that is the only one that come close to being a reliable source on the topic. The other sources given are nothing but things like "Top 5" lists in which a couple of sentences are devoted to saying "We think Soma should appear in the series", or the ScreenRant article that does nothing but summarize the plot of Aria of Sorrow, and then say "maybe it will be adapted to the animated series some day". This is simply not significant coverage that provides any analysis of the character at all, and a dozen such sources of similar quality simply does not pass the WP:GNG. Rorshacma (talk) 02:47, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:SECONDARY, "Wikipedia articles usually rely on material from reliable secondary sources." If those secondary sources are not significant, and only primary sources are, then we get to this point. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 19:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep - my initial reaction was to argue for "keep" as the nomination is malformed. If four of the nine sources in the article aren't in-depth and independent, then that means 5 are. But looking at those remaining sources, 1 is not independent (company's former website), 2 looks in-depth and independent, 4 is not independent (paper produced by topic), 7 is a list, and 9 looks independent. So I think there's two good sources in the article. I don't think the sources brought up in the above discussion are all that great, a lot of quoting the company, but added together I think a somewhat-useful NPOV and V article can be created for our readers, per WP:WHYN. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 00:46, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete‎. I see unanimous agreement that the definition of "conservative left" is unclear and the article shouldn't stay in its current form.

OR/SYNTH/possible POV fork. Sources are cited to biased publications (including, in one case, a Japanese source which refers to the magazine of an extremely minor HK party claiming to be "conservative left"). No evidence of use of the term in mainstream media, and the article text characterisation of the concept is also, well, questionably put. Fermiboson (talk) 01:56, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: A search suggests that the term is used somewhat frequently, but there seems to be no consensus on what it means, and it's applied to all kinds of people and parties in various articles and op-eds. This needs some academic backing before it deserves an article. Cortador (talk) 07:00, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The idea of a ”conservative left” is impossible and receives no authoritative support from the scholarly literature on the topic. Trakking (talk) 15:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge selectively into Conservatism where some of the information already exists. I disagree that this is OR or SYNTH since at least one source (Kaufman, 2020) supports the basis of the article. However, there is not nearly enough scholarship on this phenomenon to support a stand-alone article, and Conservatism has better and better-sourced material.

  • Delete: this is a poor attempt at WP:SYNTH of a couple disparate ideas, none of which really hold water. I find it difficult to understand any of what the article is trying to say. I think a selective merge is unnecessary – the only interesting thing in this article is the citation to the Kaufman (2020) article. An author might consider throwing its thesis into the already-existing left-wing nationalism or liberal conservatism articles, but the text on this article is not worth salvaging.

Ineligible for PROD due to previous AfD. This location seems to be a subdivision; only passing mentions in ads and legal notices were found. No secondary coverage at all. Without legal recognition this site fails WP:GEOLAND and without secondary coverage it fails WP:GNG.

  • The GNIS record for this doesn't pass verification, and the only source for this is false. The record reads "Occidental College. Accessed from classic.oxy.edu on 15 December 2005". Noting that classic.oxy.edu just redirects to www.oxy.edu, if we go to http://classic.oxy.edu at the Wayback Machine (archived 2005-12-15) there is not a mention of "Indian Lakes Estates" there. I have brought this up at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#GNIS regurgitators. We seem to have a bunch of things that someone put into the GNIS saying them to be from Occidental College that fail verification against the WWW site that they are purported to come from.

    Looking around, I find a commercial map from 1966 showing that this is the name of a small housing development which the map says is in Coarsegold, California, and that latter is the actual name of the place. Which agrees with where the Chukchansi Gold Resort & Casino seems to think that it itself is, despite what was argued in the prior AFD discussion.

    Sadly, the prior AFD discussion also argued that this must be a distinct place because From Indian Lakes is named after it. But the source in that article itself says "in a small mountain community just outside Yosemite National Park", and doesn't actually support what our article says. Coarsegold, California is "a small mountain community just outside Yosemite National Park".

    The penultimate nail in the coffin is that a Fresno State College document from 1972 by R. R. Mead turns up in a search, listing this as a subdivision of "Coarsegold South". This is exactly the "just suburban neighborhood" mentioned in the prior AFD discussion.

    The final nail in the coffin is that the external hyperlink to Google in the prior AFD discussion turns up only a horse ranch in Nevada, an apartment block, and Pangong Tso (a lake in India!). Vague handwaves in the direction of Google are not citing sources.

    It's incredibly tedious cleaning up GNIS mess at this level, especially in the wake of vague handwave zero research AFD discussion.

  • Keep as additional sources verify this is a "real" unincorporated community near Coarsegold of 485 homes (2000 Fresno Bee article says 485; 2016 article says "about 500"). Newspapers.com finds coverage over the years about the Indian Lakes Estates water distribution system and concerns about sharing water and Road 417 with the Chukchansi casino.

    I appreciate the work you put into finding those news articles. At least now the article says something. Still, those references are just trivial news reports on mundane community matters that happen in every settlement of any size: Someone is worried about traffic. Not everyone wants the new business in town. None of it really describes the community in any meaningful sense. Perhaps I'm splitting hairs but I think WP:NOTNEWS applies here.WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 15:17, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Trivial to you, perhaps, but significant enough to merit dedicated coverage over a WP:SUSTAINED period of time, and I would hardly call development of a casino next door as WP:ROUTINE. Also WP:NOTNEWS applies to current events and does not apply here. Maybe you've been staring at these @Carlossuarez46 stubs too much – happens to the best of us. I suggest slowing down and/or getting more cross-training in other parts of Wikipedia. Cielquiparle (talk) 15:36, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge to Coarsegold, California. I'm going to approach this from a ruthlessly logical perspective. Either this is what we colloquially know as a "subdivision" and it's part of another legally recognized sub-county-level place, such as Coarsegold and can be merged in part; or the term "subdivision" is being used by sources in a different way (perhaps as a stand-in for "administrative subdivision" or "political subdivision"?), and this is a legally recognized unincorporated community and should be kept by WP:POPULATED. —siroχo 18:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. I'm inclined to agree with Jarvishunt to the extent that multiple almost-but-not-quite inherently notable features can come together to lead to someone being notable themselves. Sebelius was the First Gentleman of a U.S. state (which comes with some notoriety/notability within that state), is the husband of a former U.S. cabinet official, is a magistrate judge, and was involved as a lawyer in the later stages of the famous Brown v. Board of Education case. I don't think any of those features standing alone would confer notability, but put together, he seems to have a close relationship to many clearly notable individuals and events, which I think pushes him just over the line to notability.

  • Delete- Despite the various roles and associations mentioned, K. Gary Sebelius does not meet the general notability guidelines (WP:GNG) as the coverage does not appear to be significant or in-depth. The positions held, such as magistrate judge and First Gentleman of Kansas, do not inherently confer notability (WP:INHERITORG), and the failed federal district judge nomination, while notable, does not by itself satisfy the criteria for a standalone biographical article. The subject's involvement in the Brown v. Board of Education litigation, although notable, is also not sufficient to establish notability without significant independent coverage (WP:SIGCOV). A redirect to a related topic where he is already mentioned may be appropriate.

I don't think this passes WP:GNG / WP:NCORP. Source analysis: 1) no sigcov, 2) at 7 sentences, is arguably not sigcov. "a spokesperson told SpaceNews" suggests not independent, 3) lots of quotes, press release tone, site is called "disrupt africa" which is a press release buzzword, so likely not independent, 4) 2 big quotes, plus "Kallot emphasized" x2, suggesting that at least 4 paragraphs are not independent, which is a big part of the article, 5) press release tone and lots of quotes, not independent, 6) only 1 paragraph of coverage of Amini so not sigcov. –Novem Linguae (talk) 09:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PD Slessor (talk) 10:24, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If I voted, I would propose that Amini , appears to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for organizations and companies WP:ORG. The company has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject, such as TechCrunch, Business Insider Africa, Time magazine, SpaceNews, Forbes Africa, and Space in Africa.
    The references provided indicate that Amini has made notable contributions to addressing environmental data scarcity in Africa through innovative uses of AI and satellite technology.
    The company's substantial investment rounds and the recognition of its founder, Kate Kallot, by Time magazine as one of the top 100 most influential people further establish its notability.

I agree that maintaining Wikipedia's standards is paramount, and I am committed to addressing the issues raised. While some sources may have a press release tone, there are others like TechCrunch and Business Insider Africa, and Time magazine that provide significant, independent coverage of Amini's innovative work in environmental data and AI technology in Africa. I suggest that we consider the potential value of this article in representing diverse topics on Wikipedia, especially from regions and sectors that may not receive as much attention. The merge or redirect with Kate Kallot's page could be a constructive way to preserve the noteworthy aspects of Amini's story while maintaining Wikipedia's quality standards.

Also, to raise one point on that point @PD Slessor has only been a member since July, and while this article was most definitely a misnomer for multiple reasons, as stated by another Wikipedian on creators talk page, notable Kenyan people are in fact under-represented groups on Wikipedia.

  • Delete as an unmaintainable ephemeral attempt to grasp at a changing concept. Companies aren't remote or not. They exist on a continuum between 100% in an offices and buildings and 0% in an office (with no office). If we keep this list, we'll have to decide what to do about a company that has one boss and one admin who work together in one head-office house, but employ 100,000 people world-wide working from their homes. Is it truly remote? It does have an office and an office-worker! What actual ratio of home-workers to office-workers do you need to pass the threshold? In future, most companies are going to live somewhere along that continuum, and merely classifying one group based on their being at an extreme end is unhelpful to our readers, hard to do, likely to be wrong a lot of the time, or very subjective (because every source-writer will have a different threshold). And what are we going to do about all notable companies where no reliable source has actually assessed whether they're remote or not? All the sources that I checked treat remoteness as a novelty. It won't be a novelty for much longer, so the sourcing is going to dry up. Elemimele (talk) 07:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment. You are saying 'Journalist Dying' is a major role in the event 'Death of Journalist', which is obvious an can be said about pretty much any WP:NOTNEWS topic. Also, from WP:EVENTCRIT:
    Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
    All the sources in the article are from exactly June 30, 2014, so it has no lasting coverage. And like written above, deaths/crimes/political news are not notable "unless something further gives them additional enduring significance". बिनोद थारू (talk) 06:18, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:BIO1E is already refuted above. And this article clearly passes WP:GNG. And his death isn't just one of those "most deaths" mentioned; it provoked a global response - from the Russian government and UNESCO. That, plus the scope of reporting was global, which WP:EVENTCRIT says helps the case for an article. PhotogenicScientist (talk) 14:44, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[...] the scope of reporting was global, which WP:EVENTCRIT says helps the case for an article

The reporting was exactly during one day, June 30, 2014. No more articles after that. Saying "it helps the case" words things in a way as to not consider the other majority of WP:EVENTCRIT which it clearly fails. Namely:
  • 1. Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect.
  • 2. Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards (as described below).
  • 3. Events having lesser coverage or more limited scope may or may not be notable; the descriptions below provide guidance to assess the event.
  • 4. Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.

Merge (very selectively) into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, where this journalist belongs yet isn't mentioned. All this as BIO1E. This destination is preferred over the List of journalists killed in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war that comes with the article, because the list should be merged into Killing of journalists in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war as well. Yet the list is also a valid destination, as right now it exists alongside. Maybe by current setup the article is too refined. It's possible. Both would be legitimate destinations.

I apply exactly the same standards for all sides and sorts (i.e. including for Hamas "militants", which this journalist is not). gidonb (talk) 03:36, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge‎ to Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023#Clarksville, Tennessee / Allensville–Russellville, Kentucky. Clear consensus not to retain below (delete + merge), and probably a consensus to merge independent of delete !votes regardless of its preference as an ATD.

Not notable enough for standalone article, WP:NOTNEWS, WP:LASTING, WP:EVENT. Usually, standalone articles are for tornadoes that are particularly deadly and have a massive lasting effect on a decently-sized community. This tornado caused 3 deaths and was rated as an EF3. This may also apply to 2021 Tri-State tornado, which although an EF4, caused 8 deaths, compared to the effect of the Mayfield EF4 that casued 57 deaths and destroyed several towns. In my opinion, for a tornado to have a section on an article it should either cause 1 million USD or more in damage, be rated EF3 or more, or cause 20 or more injuries. To have its own article, I think a tornado should have to cause 10 or more injuries in three communities and 10 or more deaths in total. The Clarksville tornado caused damage, but it was an EF3. This is pointless as an article and should either go in its own outbreak or go onto the tornado list in December. CutlassCiera 14:18, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that even if you think it is a minor event, it had killed 6* people and counting. Even if it wasn’t an EF5 or even an EF4, it had done possibly permanent damage to the people of Clarksville, TN. Yes it wasn’t the 2013 el reno tornado but it doesn’t hurt anyone to have this article. It is better to inform people of events like such because events like the December 9th tornado will get covered by other big news like politics, then people forget. With an article about it that people can read, the reader can understand the devastation that the people that experienced the tornado had gone through. There is no harm by having its own article, it might help though. People reading the article could contribute to helping the communities hit by the tornado through donations and or by informing others. Once again, no harm is done by this article. It should not be deleted. EvanAndrews22 (talk) 15:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First off, it killed three people, not six. Two, even if it did permanent damage, it doesn't mean that it is notable. The rest of your statement reads off as WP:USEFUL and WP:HARMLESS. CutlassCiera 16:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I am just going to repeat what Reecey said and say that it was one of the strongest December tornadoes in recent years. While not THE strongest, it is still notable in its own right, being the strongest of one of the worst December outbreaks in recent years. You have provided no points except for the fact that El Reno is only notable for size, which it is not. You also fail to realize that the outbreak of which this occurred in was a one-in-a-million chance. I mean, some tornadoes took the same paths as the ones two years prior, which is remarkable, and can only really be compared to the Moore tornadoes and the Codell Tornadoes. I rest my case, this should not be deleted for the reasons stated above and the reasons stated by other people. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot to mention this, but this article is NOT a stub, and you can tell that there is enough info for an entire article. It also was very long-lasting, being an hour long. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, your argument of "Long lasting effect on a decent sized community" is easily disproven by the fact that the tornado destroyed 114 homes, heavily damaged 857 others, mostly in a town/city of over 160k people. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:47, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
100 out of 160000 is a very small percentage. Even if we assume 10 people per household, that's still trivial. Oaktree b (talk) 16:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Although I agree with that, it is a city of 160k, which is a more than decent sized community. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 16:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're tunnel-visioning on what you personally feel is notable. Tornadoes like this occur all the time. Check out Perryton, Matador, Amory, Sullivan, Winterset, Wynne, etc all from this year. None of these have articles for a reason. Wikiwillz (talk) 16:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, but we can't use Wikipedia:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an argument. ChessEric 16:37, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It was a major event, and even if you don't live around here, it killed half of the people that were in this outbreak, and it was possibly a multi-vortex. If you want to use the "It was an EF3" argument, then we should also delete the El Reno tornado article. You see how unfair that is? I stand my case. Clarksville (and Hendersonville) deserve their own articles, separate from the current, very tiny, outbreak article. This is IP address user, signing off. 108.67.192.250 (talk) 15:22, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The El Reno tornado was particularly notable due to its large size, which is unique. A run-of-the-mill EF3 with three fatalities is not really notable. It doesn't work that way. CutlassCiera 16:27, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The size of the storm doesn’t matter. The damage it caused does. By saying it doesn’t work that way is saying that those 6 people who died don’t matter as much as those who died in the el reno tornado EvanAndrews22 (talk) 16:29, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're missing the point here. The size of the storm does matter. The EF3 damage was three or four very poorly built houses flattened and a strip mall destroyed. That itself is not grounds for an article. The rest of the article is refuting an argument I never made. CutlassCiera 16:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is notable, It killed 3 people, and was an EF3. It was one of the steongest December tornadoes in recent years. The article shoudl be kept. Reeceycat123987 (talk) 16:28, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yet again, this isn't proving it to be notable. Being "one of the strongest December tornadoes" is not grounds for an article. Three people is not grounds either. CutlassCiera 16:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Trivial weather event. Under 10 people dying is rather routine for a weather event; to be blunt, we've had articles in AfD where more people were involved in a mass shooting in the USA and it's been deemed not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • * Delete: The event was a low-end EF3 and was fairly tame. Dozens of other tornadoes even in the last couple of years are much more worthy of an article over this.

-Oaktree b & Wikiwillz — Would you both support a merge into Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023? The AfD nominator also supports a merge into the article. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, given it is substantially thinned down to increase readability. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This argument has no ground to support it. The section can be trimmed to make it readable. CutlassCiera 18:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is readable as is. It passes WP:GNG and WP:LASTING. Your deletion reasonings was strictly based on casualties/impact, but that isn’t what makes an article notable. Sources do. That is why WP:NEXIST exists. The 1999 Aïn Témouchent earthquake survived AfD because it has multiple reliable sources. The state of the article (and overall impacts) weren’t that high…Yet it has the coverage, so it passes notability requirements. Like I said, I’m not opposed to the merge, which it seems you aren’t either. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:20, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A large amount of these sources lack WP:DEPTH. The NWS survey is a routine survey done of every tornado that is reported to cause damage in the US. Several of the other sources are news articles that only say one point (e.g. that the tornado was an EF3). CutlassCiera 18:25, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd lack to add Cutlass, that this is how a majority of tornado's are written. The NWS survey is the most official and comprehensive detail of damage and chronological impact. There's little need to scour for sources that would really have less detail or authority to the survey itself. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:56, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the article passes WP:GNG, but the thing about general notability guidelines is that they're.. well... general. There are nuances to consider. I support a merger, sounds like the smart thing to do. Wikiwillz (talk) 18:53, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep – Since a WP:SNOW, merge closure was overturned, I am going to double down on the keep. Passes WP:GNG, passes WP:NEVENT and while still a recent event a few days ago, the tornado still gets complete individual news articles about it ([28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]"Federal disaster declared after Clarksville tornado"), aka secondary RS coverage at least 5 days after the event, indicating WP:LASTING may be satisfied as it clearly isn't a true WP:NOTNEWS event. All original issues with the AfD all pass. In previous struck comment, I originally was ok with a merge, but given the merge overturning, I no longer support a merge. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 02:42, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It wasn't the merge that was overturned in DRV. It was your blatantly inappropriate WP:INVOLVED attempt to prematurely shut down discussion here. Your renewed "double down" campaign smells of WP:SPITE. Owen× 12:45, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No WP:SPITE at all. I honestly don’t think it needs merged anymore, given the clear RS consensus that it wasn’t just a passing news event, meaning it passes all the requirements to be an article. Also, several editors suggested the discussion be quickly-closed by a countersigning admin. That never occurred, so yes, the merge was overturned, because that was an option suggested by some editors during the DRV. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 18:20, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge — with Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023 — it is not surprising that there are numerous reliable sources covering the Clarksville tornado. However, I don't think that notability independent of the broader severe weather event has been established, namely in terms of diverse coverage (beyond human interest stories and what-was-hit overviews) and in-depth coverage (beyond just narrative from local news). —TheAustinMan(TalkEdits) 19:03, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge this topic can sufficiently be covered in Tornado outbreak of December 9–10, 2023. There is not enough WP:LASTING impact from this tornado to warrant a standalone page.

There was a deletion discussion that resulted in "no consensus" more than five years ago. It's time revisit the status of this article and my view it's time to delete the article. The reason for the deletion is this: This is a flashy term coined by a company which has occasionally been regurgitated by low-quality sources. The article was literally created by a COI account working for the company. There is no sustained significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The purpose of the encyclopedia is not to advertise slogans and labels that companies bandy about to advertise their services. The term overlaps with terms such as Emerging market, Newly industrialized country, developing country, Less developed country and half a dozen similar concepts. The existence of countless non-notable versions of the same concept leads to articles of worse quality and wastes the time of editors. Since the 2018 AfD discussion, no changes have been made to this article to make the article of any interest to readers or in compliance with content policies (the article is solely sourced to the company's own documents). If there is anything worth keeping in this article (there isn't), then the content should be merged with any of the aforementioned articles. Thenightaway (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is little rationale for deletion beyond strict application of WP:GNG which would not make sense given the pervasiveness of NAM clauses and their real-world notability. This is the kind of situation IAR was designed for.
I could see a rationale for merging this article with other private arbitral institutions such as:

I'm unable to locate a single source that comes close to meeting GNG/NCORP criteria, I've looked for analyst reports or any kind of neutral third party articles and I'm unable to locate a single one. Invoking IAR is inappropriate at AfD in circumstances where no arguments have been put forward to justify ignoring the community's guidelines. I'm also not convinced a redirect is appropriate, none of the suggestions appear to be connected with the topic company. A better alternative might be Arbitration in the United States but I'm also unsure if this is connected to the topic company. HighKing++ 11:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Interesting point, allthough arbitrators (and the sanctioned companies providing them) are a major part of that process, and this company does seem have some notability. Cray04 (talk) 07:01, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG. Only non-primary hit is from a student newspaper; all other search results are apparently about an unrelated expansion of the national park in which the program takes place. Fermiboson (talk) 00:11, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Oregon Extension is a 48 year old university level education program. Not associated with any one university, it intentionally consists of a small select group of students and faculty. Failing to meet Fermiboson standard of GNG does not equate to unworthiness to be published on this site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeonDias19 (talkcontribs) 03:02, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I have added sources and content. Some sources are campus newspapers. However, there is an entire chapter in a book as well as signification coverage in an Oxford University Press book. Sources confirm notability. Rublamb (talk) 20:10, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in view of the book sources described above that have been added to the article for a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 21:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NORG fail. (Article is also promotional/POV, but not relevant here.) Source 1 is a primary source, 3, 6 and 7 are passing list mentions. 2 is behind a paywall, so I can't see it (doesn't make a difference if it satisfies GNG criteria). 4 is a copy-paste from the party press release, according to the line at the bottom of the article. 5 is also locked behind a paywall but from what I can see it appears to be an interview. 8 is an obviously non-independent source from the lobby behind the party. Unable to find any additional coverage. Fermiboson (talk) 00:00, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify. I did create the article, and I don't consider it promotional, or at least was never intended to be as such. Regardless, I am more than willing to alter the content to make something more substantial. (though I do also express some concerns that the draft I submitted to AfC was probably accepted pre emptively, but that's not a discussion for here). KangarooGymnast (talk) 04:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
While I accept your good faith, I'm not sure how linking "animal extremists" to another political party or "provide a more pragmatic alternative" could ever be perceived as NPOV. If you do have substantial sources feel free to add them to the article as is (or just provide them - sources which show notability don't need to be in the article to pass AfD). Fermiboson (talk) 09:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify There's an editor here who is willing to work on this article, improving its sourcing. I think it should be moved back to Draft space. Liz Read! Talk! 05:18, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify per KangarooGymnast and Liz. As KangarooGymnast has expressed a willingness to improve the article in order to satisfy the notability guidelines, I think they should be given the opportunity to do so in draft space. Sal2100 (talk) 17:48, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify, if there's someone willing to get it to a good standard, then it should have no problem leaving draftspace after some good work. GraziePrego (talk) 02:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify: Currently the sourcing doesn't meet the notability standards, but if users are committed to finding additional sources, no issues putting this one in draft space so they can find them. User:Let'srun 14:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
