  • Merge - this very barely meets notability as having two good sources, but merging this into the other article on bilateral relations might be a better outcome. Bearian (talk) 04:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep a fairly detailed chapter, and in passim, in:
    • Koskela, Mikko; Lahe, Jukka; Ridanpää, Janne (2016). Maailmanympärimatka Helsingissä: Suurlähetystöt ja niiden historia. Helsinki: Otava. ISBN 978-952-5805-86-4.
This book is specificially about embassies and not relations in general. Even from that single source the article could be expanded many-fold, so I oppose Bearian's idea of merging. Coverage is also more than likely in the many books that cover Helsinki block by block and building by building, which Maailmanympärimatka cites often. The 2008 incident also means that this embassy is covered whenever diplomatic immunity is discussed in the Finnish context. The ambassador's residence also houses some functions of the embassy and is located in a building built in 1930 that was formerly the residence of president Juho Kusti Paasikivi so there is likely coverage on that one as well. One cannot make a proper WP:BEFORE search for this without consulting Finnish-language books and newspapers. – Finnusertop (talkcontribs) 14:55, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given there are no delete votes, it should now qualify for speedy keep WP:SK upon the LibStar nominator's withdrawal.

    The article doesn't qualify using multiple reliable, secondary and independent sources. Most of the sentences of this article is directly plagiarized from this source. The tone of the article is promotional (peacock) and not written in a neutral point of view. It is clearly understood that this article was written from a fan point of view where sentences like "She has worked with a number of news channels....", "To her viewers surprise not even completing her innings....." exists.

Article about a direct-to-video film, not properly sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, films are not all automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show markers of significance such as notable film awards or the reception of significant coverage and analysis in media -- but this isn't showing anything of the sort, and its only references are a tangential quote about the difficulty of securing screenplay development deals in a magazine article that has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with this film, and a brief glancing namecheck of this film's existence in a short blurb about its producer later securing funding for an unrelated television film. And even on a search for other sources, I just can't find anything else WP:GNG-worthy -- all I'm getting is directories, VOD streamers and blogs, not real coverage about it in reliable or notability-building media outlets.
There's also a bit (okay, a lot) of an advertorialized lean here, and a probable conflict of interest as it was created by the same WP:SPA who created the BLP of its producer that's also been listed for AFD below.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this film from having to have more real coverage about it in real media than this. Bearcat (talk) 13:49, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Update: New sources have been added, but not good, reliable or notability-building ones. What's been added mainly comprises a glancing namecheck of the film's existence in an obituary of one of its cast members (thus not about the film) and reviews on unreliable and non-notable film blogs like "Mutant Reviewers" and "On Snow" — but the "has been reviewed" criterion in WP:NFILM requires still requires the reviews to come from reliable sources, meaning things like Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times or RogerEbert.com, and cannot be fulfilled by just any random film blog you can find. The only new citation that's been added that's starting to get anywhere at all is a review from TV Guide, which isn't enough all by itself if the other reviewers are all non-notable bloggers.

  • Delete A kind of snowboard cult-classic, but the only possibly reliable review I found (in a book called "Ski Films, a Comprehensive Guide) utterly pans it. One more in-depth review and it might be a keeper, but it was a straight-to-video so would not get noticed by most movie reviewers. (It gets 28% at Rotten Tomatoes, which is incredibly low for that site.) Again, snowboard folks might go for this, but in the annals of film it doesn't register. The section on Rudy Rupak here is totally unwarranted and un-referenced, so I'm removing that. Lamona (talk) 16:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I removed all of the un-referenced cruft, mostly about Rudy Rupak, and added that one possibly reliable but negative review. I think it's now easier to get an idea about notability. Lamona (talk) 16:56, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Edging towards Keep on this one, and good cleanup from Lamona. We have several criteria in WP:NFILM; while I concur this film does not have clear evidence that it strongly meets any one of them, there is evidence that several of the criteria are nearly or adequately fulfilled. Including:
  • The lead cast comprises several notable actors per WP:NFO. Corey Haim did claim it as one of his hardest parts.
  • At least 3 non-blog independent reviews exist with sigcov - one is mainstream reputable, the remaining 2 are specialist publications.
  • At least 4 non-blog independent reviews exist with sigcov - two are mainstream reputable, the remaining 2 are specialist publications.
  • Criteria WP:NFO: The film represents a unique accomplishment in cinema - this is one of the first movies to feature the, at the time, new craze of snowboarding.
Given this is film is over 25 years old and we may be unable to find print-only publications, together these should be sufficient to presume notability. Also note - the nom claims a WP:COI due to the article being created by an SPA, but this is very much not true, creator has over 14000 edits: [2] ResonantDistortion 20:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep: Added a second review by Scott Weinberg, though it is a capsule review he is an established film critic with professional bylines, not a "non-notable blogger." There is most likely print coverage -- while this is not sigcov and I am not claiming it is, Variety did call the film infamously bad which alludes to something, somewhere.

Article about a poetry book, not properly sourced as passing our notability criteria for books. As always, books get their own Wikipedia articles only if they have some claim to significance, such as noteworthy literary awards and/or the reception of coverage about the book (e.g. several reviews by professional literary critics in real media). But the only notability claim being made here is that the book exists, and the referencing isn't cutting it at all: three of the four footnotes are mere directory entries on online bookstores, and the other one didn't actually lead to a piece of media coverage about the book, but instead redirected me to an online roulette site. And even if that last one was actually a real WP:GNG-worthy reliable source that's just been temporarily hijacked by an advertiser, it still takes more than just one acceptable source to establish a book's notability anyway.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt this book from having to pass GNG on its sourceability. Bearcat (talk) 16:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment, this is a random selection of the thousands upon thousands of short live-action films which already have an article (e.g. Category:American silent short films has more than 2,800 entries, most of them live-action). But even with this endless supply of entries, this list still contains many redlinks anyway. Seems like an overly broad topic for a list, either needs splitting in many sublists or deletion as unworkable. Fram (talk) 08:39, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Lists. Fram (talk) 08:39, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Category:Short films shows short films are divided by year, nation, and other categories. You can't delete an article because you think it might be too long. Category:Lists of short films shows some valid list articles for short films. If any red links, that is non-notable entries, are on a list article, then you simply remove them, you don't delete the entire list. If a list is incomplete, that is also not a valid reason to delete it. If this list gets too long, it can be split by year like its done in Category:Short films by decade already. Dream Focus 09:11, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • This list was created in 2005. 17 years later, it still is a useless, random selection. If an article isn't helpful, objective, useful, ... for 17 years, and making it compliant would mean splitting it in other articles and renaming it to "lists of ..." anyway, then what purpose does it serve to keep it around anyway. Having this article doesn't make enwiki any better. Fram (talk) 09:28, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Does deleting it somehow make enwiki any better? It has 43,107 page views [3] over its life, so some have found it useful, even if its not complete. Dream Focus 09:41, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, not having this page would make enwiki better. Readers of an encyclopedia shouldn't be confronted with an utterly, completely random selection of some examples of a topic when they search for a list like this. If I go to a library and ask for a book on a topic, I'ld rather have them tell me "we don't have any" than knowingly being presented with a very bad one. Note that List of short films redirects here, so many of the people who end up here may be even less satisfied that they don't get e.g. any animated movies.

What a crock, Dronebogus, and how uncivil. Your participation here is rude and irrational too. Dronebogus votes almost entirely against Keeping, Dream Focus has voted mostly for Keeping but not as overwhelmingly as Dronebogus has voted against. So does that mean Dronebogus shoudl be ignored completely? I don't want to be unduly incivil myself, but with their incivility, their calling for complete cancellation of another editor, perhaps that would be best?
When I participate at AFD, I choose to enter in on situations where sensible-seeming topics are up, and where some effort towards saving the articles seems productive. Dream Focus has their reasons to choose where they enter in or do not, likely choosing to be selective as a matter of sensible time management. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 17:36, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I do not think the distinction by genre really adds anything in this case, plus this list contains some feature length films, some films that really are more "ads" or "PSAs" then actual films, and a bunch of redirects to pages that share the same name as the film (see "Silver Surfer (1994)"). Maybe if the list was "notable live-action" short films it would be more manageable. --LegalSmeagolian (talk) 12:45, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks LegalSmeagolian for your comment. Indeed it is or should be about "notable" ones. There is a common misunderstanding, i would call it, that the term "notable" needs to be stated explicitly in titles of list-articles and/or that the introductions to list-articles must go on about "only notable examples wanted". Being heavy-handed in titling and in introduction is one way to go, and in some cases seems helpful for dealing with too many incoming new edits. But it is more ideal to just convey by quality of writing that this is indeed a list of notable ones only. For example in a section on short live-action American films of the 1970s, it would be more ideal to start with citing some reliable high-quality sources on the most important short live-action American films of the 1970s. And to have every entry's importance supported by text (perhaps in a column in a table of the items) and inline citations. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 18:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Category:American comedy short films alone has over 1,400 pages. Even if many of those are animated, there are far too many items in this topic for there to be a page that is not indiscriminate or wildly incomplete. Perhaps this should just replaced with a Lists of short films or otherwise redirected to Lists_of_films#Short (I've repointed List of short films there), but a list being too long is in fact a reason to delete because a huge swath of links becomes diffult to maintain and navigate. WP:SALAT says "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value", and one that would have several thousand items and cannot be maintained does not have value, even if divided by decade. Merely duplicating Category:Short films by decade is a pointless exercise - are you going to do that? Reywas92Talk 15:10, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merely duplicating categories would not be helpful, I agree. Providing intelligent introduction to the topics of American short comedy films, in each decade, would be great. There must be sources towards doing this, wouldn't you think? --Doncram (talk,contribs) 17:52, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, and I want to say, obviously. Short film is a valid article and it is okay for it to have an included list OR to split that out separately. About "live action" or not, I am fine with editors merging or splitting by types of these films, based on discussion at Talk pages; this is not something for AFD, and past versions of lists changed for editorial reasons should be kept rather than deleted in part so that editors can change their minds and rework material. Wikipedia obviously handles very large lists. This is not an "utterly, complete random selection", it is divided by decades for example. I personally like seeing the historic sweep, from a film of carriages etc going by Hyde Park Corner in 1889 to the proliferation of films nowadays. With the proliferation of short films, of course, it has certainly become unreasonable to plan to list ALL such films. And nobody wants that. There are reasonable rules to keep it manageable that can be discussed, or are being discussed, among editors at the Talk pages. Also wp:CLNT, which some !voters seem unaware of perhaps, explains how categories, lists, navigation templates are COMPLEMENTARY. A list allows for introduction, explanation, use of inline citations and other sourcing, redlinks identifying where articles are needed, and more. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 17:19, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    So Draftify the page if there can be further discussion of short films by decade or whatever. A list can be appropriate to complement a category when entries actually are annotated with discussion of each one, but with such an enormous hierarchy of categories there's no inherent reason that any arbitrary topic that is categorized ought to have a corresponding list. When a list has several thousand items, it becomes unwieldy and of little use. Reywas92Talk 21:55, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This AFD is another where I think a speedy keep as an administrative matter would have made sense. The deletion nomination does not provide any reason for deletion. It comments about the "at the moment" state of the list-article, notes that categories exist, notes that there are redlinks. It boils down to "seems like an overly broad topic" to them and they note that splitting to make it more workable is an option. That should have been stated at the Talk page and not brought to AFD. wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. --Doncram (talk,contribs) 17:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

jog is not village this article is duplicate of Kargal , and i want to give some info regarding this why i nominated for deletion:

jog is not village and there is no such place located in karnataka state of india.

jog falls got its name from "jog kargal town" and this town have it's own wiki article with detailed info kargal you can check that. this town govenment website is www.jogkargaltown.mrc.gov.in/en/about-tp , this Official govenment Website have all detailed info you can verify it yourself.

census mentioned in jog, karnataka article also wrong and there reference doesn't have any word jog,

There is no good reason for merging of Jog, Karnataka with Kargal beacuse Kargal article is actually correct and Jog, Karnataka is vandalised over a time .

Jog Falls water falls also have it's own article. Gerusoppa village is also have its own article. Kargal Jog Kargal Town also have it's own article.

Than what is the need of this duplicate, vandalised, fake referenced article Jog, Karnataka ???? Nimmoun (talk) 05:42, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Nominator's rationale does not make sense. The existence of Jog as a village in Karnataka is verified by the two sources already given on the page. Jog Falls is a waterfall that is in or near the village; the village and its associated waterfalls are not the same entity. The source given regarding "Jog Kargal town" cannot be reached (at least not by me) so I cannot verify the nominator's claim of any information contained there. The claim that the article has been vandalized over time is not a reason to delete the article. Nominator will have to provide better sourcing to show that Jog and Kargal are, in fact, the same town.

In the former case, a merge of the two pages would be appropriate. In the latter case, both articles should be retained. In neither case should the Jog article be simply deleted.

  • Comment

Clarification for the Recent addition of Names Section in Jog, Karnataka article.
Jog, Karnataka#Names

Gerusoppa and Jog Kargal was not same both are different places. Gerusoppa is in Uttara Kannada district and Jog Kargal is in Shivamogga District.

  • Jog Falls was got two name from two different Villages.

Before Indipendence of India , Jog Falls was Part Of British Government Bombay Presidencys, Uttara Kannada district, So Britishers Named this place as Gerusoppa Falls beacuse Gerusoppa was Nearest village to this water falls which is under their government.
And at the same time Water falls Front View Point is part of Mysore Kingdoms Shivamogga District, So Mysore Govenment Named this view point/falls as "Jog Falls" beacuse Jog Kargal is nearest village to this Water falls which is Administrated by their govenment.
The Jog Falls was a Natural Border between the Bombay Presidency and Kingdom of Mysore,
This is how Jog Falls got two name .such as Jog Falls, Gerusoppa Falls.

Even After Indipendence, Still now : View Point and Water Falls is in two different district Uttara Kannada and Shivamogga District, the offical District adminstration Website also mentioned the same. Visit shimoga.nic.in/en/tourist-place/jogfalls/,


So summery is Gerusoppa and Jog Kargal was two different Villages nearest to Jog Falls and Jog, Karnataka#Names was mistakenly added by other editor After proposed to deletion.



I support for both deletion or Merge. But if the choice of the administrator is Merging than i request to Just blank the Jog, Karnataka and give the redirect to Kargal, please don't copy anything from Jog, Karnataka and paste it in Kargal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nimmoun (talkcontribs) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jog Kargal is official name ; environmentclearance.nic.in/auth/FORM_A_PDF.aspx?cat_id=IA%2FKA%2FRIV%2F62455%2F2017&pid=New

This is a official website of govenment of India just check the domain it is ended with .nic.in so it is reliable source. Now Visit it and see point 9 , they mentioned Jog- Kargal village, Sagar taluk, Shivamogga District
so now it is clear Jog, Karnataka and Kargal is not different but the same and it is Officially called Jog Kargal, located in Shivamogga district.

  • Merge: The article was originally about Jog Falls, which the 2001 census says is a Notified Area Council. Its was changed to Jog and was said to be about a village, but no sources were cited. Jog Falls isn't in the 2011 census; it was replaced by Jog Kargal, a town panchayat - I don't know if the boundaries changed or just the name. https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/how-jog-falls-got-to-the-bottom-of-the-atlantic-ocean/articleshow/21506931.cms mentions a village called Jog. From Google Books, there is the Karnataka State Gazetteer (1975) which mentions that "Jog is a hamlet of Kargal", and it looks like the 1991 census has Jog and Kargal as places in the town of Jog Falls. It's unclear whether it was ever officially a village; if it was confirmed then it could stay as a separate article, but most of the content there now is about Jog Falls which should be combined with Kargal (where the only source calls uses the name Jog Kargal) for a Jog Kargal article.

WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, NACTOR is not automatically passed by every actor whose article merely lists roles that they played -- having acting roles is literally the job description, so every actor who exists at all would get an article if merely listing roles was all that was required. Rather, notability has to be demonstrated by reliable source coverage about him and his roles in media, as evidence that his performances have garnered third-party attention and analysis.
But the roles listed here are supporting and bit parts, not major starring roles, and the sourcing consists of a pair of TikTok videos, which is not support for notability at all, and a single piece of "local kid gets role" in the local media of his own hometown, which is acceptable as a start but not in and of itself enough.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have a lot more than just one hit of human interest coverage in his own hometown local media for sourcing. Bearcat (talk) 15:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blue Square Thing: I have not searched Trove, nor do I know what that is. If you can point me to it, I would be happy to search (assuming this is something I have access to). Compassionate727 (T·C) 23:05, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Trove is an Australian newspaper archive which is often really helpful in turning up articles about people like this. So here's a search for Lehmann cricket which throws up a lot of recent hits of course. It'll need filtering. In general using a forename is less helpful on these sorts of things - he would have been likely called by his surname or CA Lehmann in articles. There look to be some hits from the appropriate sort of time showing that he played for West Perth I think. Whether there's enough for a biography to be written I'm not sure. The New Zealand equivalent is Papers Past by the way. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:44, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. "CA Lehmann" and "C. A. Lehmann" turn up nothing valuable, just a couple of team rosters he's listed in. A lot more hits for "C. Lehmann," but it's more of the same. Just the surname turns up countless results, but the few pages I screened were either about other people or the same trivial mentions. Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This was not a settlement but rather a vacation resort on Mormon Lake. Could not find any coverage beyond routine legal notices and advertisements. –dlthewave 13:36, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and redirect to Mormon Lake, adding any relevant sourced content from here to that article. I am generally very wary of deleting geography-related articles due to the strength of the WP:GEOLAND policy and my belief in WP:GAZ, but this has no official recognition and per GEOLAND should pass WP:GNG, which it doesn't. It is telling that essentially all of the non-Wikipedia results of a Google search for Rockledge, AZ refer to a street and subdivision in Phoenix. Furthermore, there is no signage of any kind for this place from Mormon Lake Road other than the street sign for Rockledge Road, which appears to be closed in winter. Per GEOLAND, If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the informal place should be included in the more general article on the legally recognized populated place or administrative subdivision that contains it. Rockledge isn't near or within the bounds of any census-designated places, nor is it really significant enough to include in the Coconino County article, so given its history as a vacation resort on the lake, redirecting to the page on the lake itself seems fair. Highway 89 (talk) 14:52, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I see the road closed sign on the gate. I also see regular vehicle traffic in the snow. IMO, we should not speculate that the road is closed to the residents, nor necessarily assume that the public closure is not year-round. It could plausibly be a gate set by a homeowner association to keep strangers out of the area. Again, a phone call Monday could answer that question.
Observe also the active real estate sign (with a number to call).
IveGoneAway (talk) 04:36, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well. We're both deep in OR territory here, but that's the kind of gate that's used when a road is closed as unsafe due to snow. A homeowner's association would use something else, and what is this traffic they would want to keep out? It's a dead end track off a very long mountain road. I want to say of course that road closes in the winter, it's at 7200 ft, and look at it. But ok. Where are you seeing regular traffic? Elinruby (talk) 12:10, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, "regular" was clearly the wrong adjective; I probably meant "repeated", since more than one driver has entered since the last snow and more than one driver exited, probably one trip each way per driver. Best guess, in that week of December 2016, either at least one resident made daily trips to work in town (south end of the lake) or security is checking in once a day. Who knows? Somebody somewhere around there who is RS, that's who, probably.
"... what is this traffic they would want to keep out?" I am familiar with the habit of people trying to find water access around a recreational body of water. It is a road off of the main loop around a very popular lake populated by drivers looking for north-end lake access. Its name is Mormon Lake Road, after all. If you lived on that road, you would want to keep that traffic out. I have seen several rural homes around here with that sort of gate, but rural houses here have all sorts of other kinds of gates, too.
"unsafe due to snow" more like closed because the intermittent snows they normally have won't be bladed. That driveway would not be a problem for the residents with even 6". Am I wrong that most of the winter, the AZ high desert is snow free most of the time save for a few inches that don't last long, with 2ft snows every few years?
In this case, Zoning and realtors would clearly know if there is any there there. Besides, I am legitimately in the market for lakeside retirement living in AZ ...
IveGoneAway (talk) 22:42, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on what you mean by "high desert". Arizona does have a handful of state routes that close from Nov-Dec through April for snow ([4]). Mormon Lake is maybe slightly lower than those but it certainly wouldn't seem far fetched to have a seasonal road around there. Even Flagstaff gets 90 inches of snow a year, which is almost twice what the big "snow-prone" western cities like Denver or Salt Lake City get. Those cities are also warmer, so snow in the uplands of Arizona will probably be there a good chunk of the winter. Of course, go a little further east and it's both lower elevation and drier... Highway 89 (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just realized that Rockledge is the only road with a gate on that side of the lake. The realtor was not aware of the paved road closing in winter. That paved road has signs stating the rules for snow clearing conditions.
My call, that gate is "closed" all year round.
High Desert == Colorado Plateau. In 1959-60, there was only one heavy snow at west Kaibab.
IveGoneAway (talk) 05:00, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect per Highway 89. I agree, that road is closed in winter - this is also very plausible given the location - and if it's inaccessible in winter, it's not a settlement. Elinruby (talk) 21:56, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Mormon Lake with redirect.
"not a settlement but rather a vacation resort" IDK if being a mere vacation resort is any particular disqualification for coverage. One could strain to say that vacation resorts are never settlements (populated places) of any form.
Looking at the site today, it doesn't look very resorty to me, I really must ask for a citation for how it is presently a vacation resort. It could be second homes, or first homes for ranking lake staff. Aerial examination shows a typical, well kept-up development of rural-zoned homes; I live in a development of rural-zoned homes. Certainly, Rockledge looks much less seedy than Ash Fork, Arizona.
Yes, there was a "resort" builder there in the 1920s, but that facility does not seem to be reflected in the homes there today. In 1927 the focus at the location seemed to be on building private summer homes, as was common elsewhere in the National Forests.[5]
By the 1950, the homes at Rockledge are private improvements on "forest leases".[6]
To emphasize this, there is no longer a Rockledge Resort, but a Rockledge Summer Homeowners Association.[7] There are about 12 homes with utilities, not cabins.
On the face of it, this seems to be another USFS-sponsored "recreational residences" community, but one that did not get evicted and bulldozed like many of these communities, an example being Madera Canyon (Arizona)#History (4th paragraph). (Also Madera Canyon, Arizona). Over time, more of these "vacation resort" summer homes became year-round residences. It would be necessary to confirm this at some point; it might have a bit different history, but still subject to Forest Service permitting.
Really, a phone call Monday to Planning and Zoning can clear a lot of this up.
At least the Coconino County Planning and Zoning Commission is conversant with the name; discussing providing secure trash dumpsters, the commission asked last year, "What about the outlying homes, Rock Ledge area and such.. If locked how do all residents get keys." (February 23, 2022)
Over the miles to the southwest were larger settlements named Pilgrim Playground (church camp cabins),[8] Dairy Springs (campground and residences), and Double Springs (campground and residences). These settlements were evicted and demolished, well over 50 residences removed (1990s?). A historic building and the USFS re-wildernessed campgrounds named "Camp Mardear", "Dairy Springs", and "Double Springs" remain as examples of the fate the Rockledge homes somehow escaped (Location: Rockledge, AZ, 1965 Mormon Lake Quadrangle Topo).
There should be some USNF/Mormon Lake history here, perhaps more history in the demolished communities down the road than in the more affluent Rockledge homes that avoided the dozer blade.
IveGoneAway (talk) 04:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not seeing much to merge, but if you want to expand it and merge rather than delete, then more power to you if you can do that. I kinda think you're extrapolating a lot from dumpsters and tire tracks, but I'm not against it, yea I applaud it, if you can build some content here. Elinruby (talk) 12:32, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sincerely, thank you for that encouragement. I am at the moment too deep into a couple of other wiki projects on Federal land. I have been wanting to contact Planning and Zoning about one of them, anyway. I have other sources; I just put down a couple for the sake of time. The Rockledge homes presently seem to be called a "subdivision", but I don't know of Coconino County or of Mormon Lake, Arizona.
All I think I would want to add after close would be to add a brief list of the four residential areas and the three church camps. Later, I could hope to list what I think might be an interesting combined history of the real estate under USFS jurisdiction. IveGoneAway (talk) 22:59, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IveGoneAway (talk) 03:01, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK
  • I did get to speak with a realtor who has had listings around the lake, and has a friend living there. He could not speak to the histories of the housing. He says the area does get heavy snows and that the homes outside the town do not have do not have winterized water service and winter occupation requires hauling in water. The campgrounds have experienced closures due to fires.
  • Just as I got out of the car at home and Coconino Co. Planning and Zoning called back; very helpful and willing to talk. However, they can only talk about present zoning and plans, not the past, but directed me to university archives ... and their GIS.
Also, they can only talk about the 15% of the county that is not National Forest, National Park, Navajo Reservation, Military Base, and state parks; but the county can develop within the Federal land where there is compelling county interest. And they note that there are some private parcels enclaved within the National Forest, and those are subject to Coconino Co. zoning.
From the GIS,
  • There are about 80 private residential parcels on National Forest land on the west shore of the lake, some have no homes, some have 2 homes.
  • While there is no campground at the Rockledge private homes, there are Federal campgrounds next to private homes at Double Springs and Dairy Springs.
So, for the "merge", I am just thinking of a single sentence in Mormon Lake (second paragraph, after second sentence) now just to state the present situation:
On the north and west bluffs overlooking the lake are over 80 private USFS recreation residences in four tracts named, north to south, Rockledge, Dairy Springs, Montezuma Lodge, and Double Springs. They are built on National Forest parcels. While these are generally occupied in the summer; some may be occupied through the heavy winter snows, but water must "hauled-in" as their water supply is not winterized. The Forest Service operates older standard public campgrounds at Double Springs and Dairy Springs.

This article was deleted twice already for lack of notability. It has now been recreated by a WP:SPA. The last deletion discussion was marred by sock puppets, and I have some concerns about the appearance of a pattern of possible WP:UPE. The citation record looks a little better than last time, but in a high citation field still may fall short. Under the circumstances I would like to bring this to the attention of the community. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: the article lists several things he "co-developed," "co-authored" or otherwise participated in, but nothing to establish independent notability except his PhD. The above keep !vote is from the SPA mentioned in the nomination. small jars tc 13:37, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Agree with SmallJars above, not really seeing much for strong independent notability for the BLP themselves compared to the team research they've been involved in. This doesn't seem to satisfy WP:PROF either. Looking at citation metrics Tech maniac mentions, the h-index is around 17, which is pretty typical for a regular professor that we wouldn't be writing an article for even in less cited fields. I usually don't buy a "highly cited" argument for notability on its own when a researcher is really only name-dropped in sources related to their research unless there's something extraordinary in the citations. Even what I thought would be the "best" source to maybe help with notability on the Forbes 30 under 30 article becomes really meh since they only dedicate a single sentence to Assael. Sources really don't seem to have much if at all to say about this person. KoA (talk) 15:01, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not enough has improved since the last go-around. A single achievement isn't enough to warrant a biography; the academic notability guideline is about evaluating success over a career. Here, there just isn't evidence of that kind of career. XOR'easter (talk) 15:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The spa-nature of the creation would push me to say delete, and an H-index of 17 is not extraordinary. Then again, several publications cited more 100 times, one more than 1600 times and another more than 500 times. Article should be watched to make sure it's not used promotionally, but does seem to be an academic of some notability. Jeppiz (talk) 18:08, 17 February 2023 (UTC) I've struck me vote to keep, following convincing argumentation by JoelleJay below. Still think it's about borderline case, but sitting it out without saying neither keep nor delete. Jeppiz (talk) 20:42, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If he weren't just one author among many on each of those publications, I'd find the citation profile more impressive. As it is, I don't think those figures can stand out in a highly-cited field. XOR'easter (talk) 18:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Single-authored articles are very rare in most academic fields. Being 3-5 authors on an academic article is very much the norm. Jeppiz (talk) 18:43, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Which just makes it harder to tell who contributed to what. XOR'easter (talk) 18:50, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, and it is not for us to speculate on. Academics with several highly cited publications meet WP:NACADEMIC for notability. Jeppiz (talk) 19:54, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In my very honest opinion the article does pass WP:PROF. More specifically: the person has made a significant impact in the scholarly literature with several highly-cited articles and a solid number of citations, whilst the impact outside the academia appears to be notable too. Besides I don't see the same criteria apply to so many other AI researchers or computer scientists with much less notability or citations - have a look at Julie Carpenter, Tabitha Goldstaub, Rediet Abebe, Adji Bousso Dieng, Fatmah Baothman, Siddharth Batra, Pino Caballero Gil or Cansu Canca. It appears that some of the above-mentioned examples should be taken into account, but if we start examining other articles more closely, it becomes evident that the citation argument does not apply to all cases. With that said, I do believe that by closely monitoring the article it can be further-improved. You are right about the disputable notability in 2021, but in 2023 I think that the article can indeed stand in WP with no issues. Apologies for appearing as SPA, but I simply created the article as I noticed that it was previously deleted. That is all - I would really appreciate if we could focus on the subject and not the author. Thanks! Tech maniac92 (talk) 18:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The list goes on and on: Angelo Dalli, Alison Darcy, Kate Devlin, Gary Drescher and many others. I think that this dubious notability you are highlighting is indeed a big problem, but it does not apply to Yannis Assael at all.

Appears to lack notability outside of their collaborative album Henki. Redirect there. The stuff sourced to The Quietus, and possibly the AllMusic Blog, might be worth merging. Unsure of the reliability of the rest. Redirect or delete all their albums as well, most of which source either no sources or only primary/unreliable ones.

  • Keep all: Not so fast. It is never enough just to look at sources already in the article. The Circle article on Finnish Wikipedia has two more sources not in the English WP article, namely a piece by YLE.fi ("The best rock band in the world? A guide to the world of cult band Circle") and a piece by Rumba.fi (""When I was a child, I had a book that showed massive earthmoving cranes. This album would be suitable as its soundtrack" - in the assessment of Circle's Terminal"). YLE is a major national broadcaster. Rumba is a major Finnish rock music magazine and website. Together with the sources in Circle (Finnish band), these are sufficient to establish notability through coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources.
On the individual album articles, we have the choice of merging them here or keeping them. We should I think look at each of them individually, and not just at whether their English WP pages are cited, as the Finnish WP pages certainly have some sources. For example, Infektio (EN) is uncited, but Infektio (albumi) (FI) is cited to reviews at Desibeli.net and at Nuorgam. As another example, Earthworm (album) is reviewed (in English) by Pitchfork. The page also has links to Pitchfork's reviews for Circle's albums Henki, Tower, Forest, and Raunio. There must be many more album reviews out there, in both English and Finnish as I've only had a brief look (if longer than nom, it seems, however). So, at the least, a mass unconsidered deletion-and-redirection looks inappropriate. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:02, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict)Keep. Apart from the Quietus feature already cited in the article, there's a decent enough biography at Allmusic. Plenty of coverage of the Dawson collab exists, so I think there's enough to pass the bar at WP:BAND. (Side note: Allmusic has quiet a few album reviews too [9], so it might pay to take care with those as well). Thanks :) — sparklism hey! 12:07, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all (as the nomination stands now). This one is just too much per Wikipedia:TRAINWRECK, and per WP:NEXIST every single one of the articles nominated could possibly be improved instead of being condemned uniformly due to the weaknesses of one. The band has a bland pre-Internet name that is tough to search for, but targeted searches like <"Jussi Lehtisalo" + "The Circle"> lead to some useful results, including the additional sources suggested by the voters above. Some of the albums could be redirected to the band's page, and that can be done as a standard editing process one-by-one, though some of the albums have pro reviews too. Step back and edit multiple articles with finesse instead of smashing the whole pile with a sledgehammer. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:29, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Definitely a notable band with enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. A couple of articles in Helsingin Sanomat, for example; someone who has better access to both the newspaper and the language should be able to add them. They are regularely reviewed in Swedish media as well, not just in their home country, like a few examples from Dagens Nyheter or sv:Fria Tidningen: Dagens Nyheter 2011-11-29, Fria Tidningen 2010-09-25, Dagens Nyheter 2016-04-16, Fria Tidningen 2011-11-26 (seems to be unavailable on the website, but the entire review can be found through sv:Mediearkivet) and so on. /Julle (talk) 15:33, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the band per the sources identified above; procedural keep the albums as too large a group to evaluate in one AfD. Nominating all of the albums because you have concerns about most is not the way to go. -Ljleppan (talk) 10:06, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This taxon has a baffling lack of presence on the web. I'm getting a grand total of two hits [10][11], both books from the 60s. I suspect that this may have been a classification that did not gain traction and quietly disappeared from the records, without even being synonymized. Further excavations welcome. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:47, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've found one additional mention in an extremely roundabout way. UC Berkeley in an ancient web directory hosts the files from a 1993 University of Texas CD called "THRINAXODON: DIGITAL ATLAS OF THE SKULL", included in which is a reprint from a 1961 paper in the Bulletin of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard. This paper in turn cites a 1956 paper for the statement suggested that in Ericiolacerta these foramina indicated either a mobile prolongation of the snout or highly developed sense organs such as a rhinarium or vibrissae. Brink (1957a, p. 86) extends this interpretation to Diademodon, as does Attridge (1956, p. 67) for the therocephalian Microtenthes. The hosted document is at https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/synapsids/rowe/estes.html --(loopback) ping/whereis 09:07, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Following that lead gets pretty hard though. That was not the only Attridge who did something of note in 1956 and nearly all hits for Attridge 1956 refer to the test pilot who managed to shoot down his own jet that year. --(loopback) ping/whereis 09:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've shot off an email to the UC Museum of Paleontology who hosts that archive to see if they may be some help in tracking down the Attridge paper. Will pass along anything if they get back to me. --(loopback) ping/whereis 09:39, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Update: the UC professor got back to me. It's a misspelling that worked it's way into a few things back in the day. Full email reply included here:

Tracking down data quality issues is never silly and pointless. Unfruitful and vexing, yes, but not silly and pointless. However, in this case, I can solve your mystery.
Microtenthes SHOULD be deleted, because it is a misspelling of Mirotenthes. Here's the Attridge paper where he first describes Mirotenthes. You can also see it featured here <https://evolution-outreach.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1007/s12052-009-0117-4#Fig10> as part of an open access article on "transitional fossils".

  • Keep. It's not a religious organisation, but a building, so WP:NRELORG and WP:ORG do not apply. A poor article, as are many articles relating to India, but a surviving 16th century temple would be considered notable anywhere. It would undoubtedly be heritage-listed if India had a decent heritage-listing system, which sadly it does not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:22, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article title it self mentioned "temple" and as per Wikipedia's WP:NRELORG : "Individual religious organizations (whether called congregations, synods, synagogues, temples, churches, etc.) must meet the notability guideline for organizations" .so this Temple doesn't meet Wikipedia's Notability criteria ( WP:N , WP:ORG , WP:NRELORG )Nimmoun (talk) 12:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ah, I see. You've misread the guideline. No, that isn't what it says (although I agree that it isn't very well phrased). Please reread it. It means when "temple" refers to the organisation itself, not when it refers to an individual building. The correct guideline for these is WP:GEOFEAT.

  • Speedy keep: I added two references and removed the notability tag. I spent about half an hour on this as an editor well outside my area of expertise who does not speak Kannada. I grant that the references aren't academic, but given:
  1. the notable festival
  2. the association of a Hindu saint with the temple's founding,
  3. the adoption of Marikamba by a ruler described as the "ablest" of his dynasty
  4. the folklore regarding the plague breaking out when temple was messed with (source verified with Google Translate)
...and come on, they had me at "16-foot chariot". How could this not be notable??? I am quite certain that more sources for all of this can be found. Those that are there are weak-ish, although better than in many India articles, but they do support much of the text.
Also, based on the image, the temple appears to be in very good condition, which is itself notable for a building of this age. It definitely belongs in a register of monuments. (Side note, the image also appears on the municipality website, so someone should look into its copyright status.) Elinruby (talk) 02:43, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - whilst there are obviously a lot of religious buildings in India, I think it would be weird if a 400 year old building somehow wasn't notable. There are a few refs on the page, I think it is highly likely there are many more in Kannada (and/or other local languages). JMWt (talk) 10:13, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I have no idea whether the municipality changed to a different website, but it would not affect reliability, which would be weak anyway. The issue is whether the article *can* be sourced. I don't know why you're getting a 404 on the timesofindia link, but it works for me and I am not in India. Maybe try rebooting? I concede that the second one is a different temple to the same goddess in another city; my mistake. I saw several other mentions of other temples, but that one got me, you're right. However, I am with JMWt. It's hard to agree that a temple that is still in use after 400 years is not notable. @Kautilya3: is in touch with Wikiproject India and perhaps can put us in touch with somebody with Kannada or other language skills who can confirm or deny that the lack of sourcing is/is not a language issue.

    Yes, we get it, you're salty your other bus article got deleted. This fails GNG by a mile and you seem to agree since you've yet to make any argument otherwise. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 17:34, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, it's that if anyone else but you wrote that comment you'd be down on them like a ton of bricks. Garuda3 (talk) 18:00, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I've actually been trying to respond to others' comments less, even when they're clearly wrong. You, on the other hand, have been bludgeoning more lately. And such a comment would not provoke such a reply from me, actually. Regardless, you don't seem to disagree with the substance of what I said, so this appears to simply be you airing your own grievances. It's really not that hard to avoid having your articles AfD'd, by the way. Just ask me - none of mine have ever been, because I check for notability before creating articles, not the other way around. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:05, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    check for notability would imply that there is actually a specific "notability" bar to meet when we both know such a thing doesn't exist. GNG asks for significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject which my bus route articles have. It does not exclude local coverage. Everything else, including essays, is entirely subjective. Evidently various editors do not like bus content on Wikipedia despite the articles meeting WP:GNG. Garuda3 (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I actually don't care whether it's buses, train stations, beauty pageants, CEOs, or yachts. I care that articles meet GNG, which the vast majority of editors do not interpret the way you do. However, I mostly watch the transportation deletion sorting page. Your accusation of bias is ludicrous - you really think someone who spends most of his time on Wikipedia writing about trains hates mass transit? "Everything I don't like is subjective, and therefore my interpretation wins" isn't a compelling argument. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:16, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Nobody has actually quoted the relevant part of GNG that prohibits local coverage, From my time here I've learnt editors will "interpret" guidelines however they like. You keep suggesting the articles don't meet GNG, but haven't said which part of the guideline actually excludes them. Whereas on the previous AfD I completed a source assessment table that demonstrated they do meet GNG. Point me to where I said you hate mass transit? Garuda3 (talk) 18:32, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. "No coverage" is a lie, obviously because there are two sources here that count towards GNG. An WP:ATD would be to merge the article to Cirencester or to a new article on Cotswold Green. I once again repeat that GNG does not exclude local coverage. Garuda3 (talk) 18:03, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not going to argue further. It fails GNG and you don't have to accept it but it's what it is. You can't expect 2 sources in local newspapers to be "significant coverage". It sounds like what you're trying to do is create an article on every single random bus route in the country and you think you're improving the encyclopedia by doing that but you're really not and in fact, you're doing the opposite. Pkbwcgs (talk) 18:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The section on significant coverage ("Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content.

    So, your only sources are ones to do with funding in the local area and nothing else.

  • Delete. The info. here is already in the Cirencester page. It could be repeated in the Stratton page if desired. However, this article should not be kept as a standalone page as it fails WP:GNG. Wikipedia is not a local newspaper. WP:NOTNP and Wikipedia:News articles though essays make a valid point — the news should not be transitory but of likely historical significance. This article is an example of bus route funding issues; yes, of importance to the places affected and could possibly be mentioned in the Wikipedia pages for those places. It could also be used as an example in an article on UK bus route funding problems, which is the bigger issue here. But common sense dictates that service withdrawals/additions, timetable changes, route variations, fare increases (which could all be reported in the local press) are not reasons to give every local bus route its own page. Rupples (talk) 01:50, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The info is in the Cirencester page because I added it in. I've already had to fight (via the talk page) to keep it there with someone reverting my edits claiming it to be "excessive detail" (despite the section being shorter than the already existing road and rail sections). Garuda3 (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The three sources in the article all discuss the bus route. The third source, "Joy after vital Cirencester bus route saved", devotes 584 words exclusively to the bus route.

  • Keep The article in the Wall Street Journal is significant coverage. This article in Roll Call is significant. The article in the Register Guard likely is sufficient. A newer blurb, with information about the subject's business interests was published by the City of Portland. ---Enos733 (talk) 20:26, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Only one of article's cited sources is actually specifically about Chisholm, and that's the Wall Street Journal article detailing his Heisman forecasting. The Roll Call article (not currently cited) is another good one, but that makes two national pieces. The Register-Guard article is about bloggers across the state of Oregon and includes a few quotes from Chisholm. The other cited sources are mostly small, local outlets in which Chisholm is mentioned in passing (e.g. Lake Oswego Review, KPOJ), or websites that Chisholm operates (BlueOregon, StiffArm Trophy). There is no evidence that I'm seeing of sustained coverage in prominent publications. The City of Portland link you provide is clearly a bio submitted by Chisholm. NASAvegas (talk) 23:27, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I would assert that two good national sources + local coverage usually is enough for a GNG pass. - Enos733 (talk) 00:46, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The local coverage is just mentions in passing, though. There are no local articles (at least that I'm seeing) where Chrisholm is the primary subject of the reporting. In one of the cited Oregonian articles, his name isn't even mentioned once—there's just a brief reference to BlueOregon. The link to the other Oregonian article doesn't work. In fact, links to ~75% of the citations are broken. Let's be honest here: standards for notability were more lax a decade ago, which is why this article exists. As a new submission it would never get through AfC today. NASAvegas (talk) 02:30, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The generally accepted bar is significant coverage in three independent reliable sources. Im only seeing two here although it does seem odd that no in-depth local coverage has been found, I'd be surprised if it didn't exist... Therefore a borderline WP:NEXIST keep might be in order in that situation. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:41, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This Willamette Week article is strong local coverage that focuses on Chisholm's conflict of interest issues. Referenced on the BlueOregon article but not here. NASAvegas (talk) 18:50, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I see issues with two of these sources. I was under the impression that RollCall is a trade paper for politics and doesn't count towards GNG per WP:ORGIND. The Register Guard article includes quotes from Chisholm, but doesn't appear to actually contain WP:INDEPENDENT, in-depth coverage of him. Remember that he doesn't inherit notability from coverage of BlueOregon per WP:INHERITORG. QuintinK (talk) 15:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would BlueOregon likely meet WP:NCORP? I suspect probably not. - Enos733 (talk) 19:08, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think they probably would, the problem comes in separating coverage of BlueOregon and Chisholm because it seems to have been primarily their project. IMO we should treat it more like Chisholm's blog than Chisholm's employer. Also note that whether they own or are employed by the blog the notability standard for blogs is Wikipedia:Notability (web) not NCORP. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to improve this article by trimming down unnecessary content and adding citations to some of the additional sources discussed here (namely the Roll Call and Willamette Week pieces). But this is still a delete for me. The Roll Call piece isn't even 500 words. It's really a stretch to call that significant national coverage. (The WSJ article is only slightly longer at ~700).

  • Comment Based on what I'm seeing here, I'm leaning towards delete. It would be helpful for people arguing 'keep' to provide the WP:THREE best sources to establish notability here in the discussion. I agree that the Willamette Week article meets the full source criteria, but I don't see other sources. RollCall is arguably a trade magazine and can't be used towards notability per WP:ORGIND. I also agree that BlueOregon may need to be merged here, if we keep. The WW article suggests they're inextricably linked.
QuintinK (talk) 15:06, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For me its WW, WSJ, and Roll Call. I don't agree with the argument that Roll Call is a trade mag, I can't find any WP:RS calling it that either. What source are you relying on for the trade magazine designation? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:55, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Roll Call is a trade publication for DC political insiders, according to the Washingtonian. The NYT obituary of its founder quotes him as saying Roll Call is "part trade paper." I'm not questioning if it's a reliable source; I'm just saying it can't be used to establish notability per the norms for trade publications. At this point, I see the WW and WSG pieces as meeting the full requirements for sources. That's two good sources for notability, which is marginal. QuintinK (talk) 21:25, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Three thoughts on that... First is that Chisholm doesn't appear to be a DC insider, they're a provincial (no offense) figure. The second is that the Washingtonian's brush is both a bit broad and not specific, The Hill (newspaper) for example is routinely used for notability purposes and is not broadly accepted as a trade mag. Third "part trade paper" =/= "trade paper" anymore than wikipedia being part gazette makes us a gazette. Is there anyone who explicitly says that Roll Call is a trade mag? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:02, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The WW article ("Sins of Omission") is structured as a criticism of Chisholm's dual work as political consultant and political journalist / publisher. If we're saying that article (in a local alt-weekly) is one of the two or three sources that establishes notability, then you'd think more of his Wikipedia article (beyond the one sentence I recently added) would address this perceived controversy. But that would, of course, be excessive, and speaks to the problem of allowing articles like this to exist when sourcing is so thin. NASAvegas (talk) 23:05, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree the article should include more substantive discussion of that article and be less puffy in general. I also think it would be appropriate to merge BlueOregon into this article. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Willamette Week, but they have the most serious newsroom of any Portland paper. Their work is high-quality and widely read. I'm going to go with a weak keep for this article. It drags its belly over the WP:GNG bar, but it is over it. QuintinK (talk) 14:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm very familiar with the Willamette Week. And to be clear, I *don't* believe that the conflict of interest controversy needs much more discussion here. (Maybe one other sentence at most.) I'm just noting that when you point to a Willamette Week article as being one of the three most important sources for establishing Chrisholm's notability, it logically follows that the substance of that article should be well represented in Chrisholm's Wikipedia article. In practice, though, that feels like coatracking. NASAvegas (talk) 18:58, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It appears appropriate that BlueOregon be merged into Kari Chisholm.

I don't see evidence of long-standing notability for the "grand slam single" hit by Ventura in the 1999 National League Championship Series outside of the context of the 1999 NLCS.
