She could very well become a notable tennis player but for now, she's 646th in the world in doubles and has only won junior titles in ITF Women's World Tennis Tour tournaments which are nowhere near as important as WTA tournaments. In any case, the most important thing is that she simply does not pass the the notability threshold. Pichpich (talk) 23:37, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Also, primary article's author blanked and G7 has been performed. UtherSRG (talk) 11:42, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article doesn't meet WP:GNG. The article really only focuses on her marriage, and notability is assumed thereof (WP:BIOFAMILY), non-notable fashion company, with most references focusing on notable family members. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 23:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I notified the WP:WPWIR project here. CT55555(talk) 01:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Dear @CT55555, I thank you for you Wiki contributions and I believe that you created this article in a good faith. However, the person is not notable. The sole presence of coverage doesn't guarantee notability. This person didn't do anything notable except one event, which contradicts WP:SBST. I am sorry to admit that I suspect the listed coverage to be WP:SPIP. Delete without a doubt. // MitYehor (talk) 16:26, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Changing !vote to Redirect to Jagmeet Singh#Personal life since it seems this article is likely headed for deletion. Changing it to a redirect will 1) preserve the article content and sources in the redirect history, for future reference if needed; 2) allow people searching for Gurkiran Kaur Sidhu to quickly find relevant information about her (with 3k+ views in less than a month, there is clearly demand for more info); 3) discourage other editors from re-creating the article prematurely.

Video game that fails WP:GNG, relies to heavily on primary sources. TheManInTheBlackHat (Talk) 22:49, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, notability not asserted. Doing another web search, there seems to be a bit of coverage - however, the article still needs quite a bit of work. Weak keep. Silikonz💬 22:50, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep Got reviews or previews from Kotaku, Kotaku Australia, and Multiplayer.it. While there are many "press release" seeming sources, I think it squeaks by notability criteria. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 22:56, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Personally, I want this deleted, but I don't know much about video games so I won't cast a formal !vote. However, I would like to note that I strongly suspect the article creator is connected with 20th Century Fox or with Electric Square given their behaviour in the article, and if it is kept then it needs attention to ensure it is covered in an impartial manner. 5225C (talk • contributions) 11:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Was previously nominated by a sock, with incorrect reasoning, and therefore procedurally closed at once. Nevertheless, the article is neither adequately referenced, nor adequately referenceable, because it is based on a single idea of a recent PhD student in linguistics. It is Too Soon. Suggest merging? Elemimele (talk) 22:27, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Of the three references, one is a pdf of a conference proceeding, which means it wasn't peer reviewed; the second is a peer-reviewed piece of primary literature by the same authors as the first, and is referenced to the first, and the third is a preexisting encyclopaedia making a passing reference to a flapped allophone; I lack the expertise to know if this is adequate to support a complete article.

Non-notable apartment complex. Notability is not inherited from the notable people who were tragically buried under the rubble. Sources mostly cover it in the context of the earthquake, the arrest of its contractor, or the notable people who are missing or who were found dead in the rubble (such as Christian Atsu). There is very little coverage of the complex before the earthquake. The fact that there is no article on the Turkish Wikipedia is telling. Mooonswimmer 19:29, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No independent notability Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 09:52, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. The building itself is not notable, and known only for being part of a notable earthquake that affected notable people. Most of this article and its sources aren't really about the building itself, but the people in there or general information about the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake and its aftermath. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Delete per the points made above. Nothing notable about the building. The fraudulent circumstances the building pertains to or its collapse aren't unique, too. I believe if we crop the details about the building and rewrite some parts to be more concise, we can easily end up with a sentence or two about its collapse and what it means, to be included in the article of the earthquake. Ayıntaplı (talk) 01:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What fraudulent circumstances? Gazozlu (talk) 16:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • While I do agree that the building itself isn't notable, it has been covered exceptionally well in Turkish media and academics following its collapse. Most of this can't be added to the main article. Is a revamp and move to something like Collapse of Rönesans Rezidans or Collapse of Rönesans Rezidans during the 2023 Turkey–Syria earthquake possible? ~StyyxTalk? 10:44, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NBUILDING, "Buildings (...) may be notable as a result of their historic, social, economic, or architectural importance, but they require significant in-depth coverage by reliable, third-party sources to establish notability."
The building has been touted, also by international media, [7] [8] as having greater significance by being a symbol for the failure of developers to follow earthquake protection building standards, and has been covered as the primary topic of several articles as such. Also, the article concerns not just a building but also a disaster by itself with hundreds of death, such events are generally considered notable. Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 11:39, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: It was already somewhat notable before the earthquake as the first building of its kind in Hatay, and is very notable now after the earthquake during which it affected the lives of almost 1000 people of which many have unfortunately become casualties. Meets significant coverage.--Gazozlu (talk) 16:51, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:24, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and possibly rename. The collapse of the building clearly exceeds the bar of the general notability guideline. It has been the subject of sustained in-depth coverage across reliable sources, which is now available in the article. Indeed it is the focus of ongoing coverage in international media, see this recent piece by Financial Times. Yes it happened within the context of the catastrophic earthquake, but that does not change how we are to apply the notability guidelines, nor does it diminish the fact that the collapse of this specific building has become something of a cause celebre, receiving coverage that sets it apart from the thousands of other collapsed buildings in the region (bar a select few). Clearly due to the high-profile nature of this, this coverage will continue with the ongoing judicial process. Yes, the article needs some cleanup and possibly a rename to reflect that it is the collapse of the building rather than the building in and of itself that is notable, but that is not the focus of discussion during the AfD. Please note that I am not arguing that the notability of the collapse is inherited from its residents, it's just that the means through which this particular building has received more coverage is irrelevant to the fact that it passes the GNG. --GGT (talk) 14:50, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (and possibly rename to Collapse of ...) There has been lots of ongoing coverage beyond a 24-hour news cycle, and it has been deep and multiple kinds of coverage. I started the copy-editing, but it needs quite a bit more. Bearian (talk) 15:12, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because there is no substantial coverage of Li Wenxian. The only known mentions of him are brief descriptions in crime encyclopedias. The most detailed mention of him is a one & a half page description in the book "Still at large : a casebook of 20th century serial killers who eluded justice" by Michael Newton. That's another weird thing. That book, an encyclopedia about unidentified serial killers came out in 1999, three years after Li was supposedly caught. Half of the time, the case is treated like it's unsolved. The other half, the case is treated like it is solved. The conflicting reports are a BLP concern, so I believe it should be deleted for that reason as well. Silent-Rains (talk) 20:44, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless better sources can be found. In addition to the strange inconsistency between sources that User:Silent-Rains has pointed out, it's weird that no one has been able to find any Chinese-language sources about the subject. I've looked but haven't found any. The sole source currently cited in the article gives a different name (Lu Wenxian instead of Li Wenxian) and seems questionable, as it claims that "it's unlikely that the world will ever hear" about any other Chinese serial killers, but we have articles about many others from before the source was published (look in Category:Chinese serial killers and subcats for more).
The lack of decent sources makes me wonder if this supposed "Guangzhou Ripper" is some kind of hoax perpetrated on or by Michael Newton. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 21:25, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Sources published after the Guangzhou Ripper's 1996 death sentence:
      1. Schechter, Harold (2003). The Serial Killer Files: The Who, What, Where, How, and Why of the World's Most Terrifying Murderers. New York: Ballantine Books. pp. 119–120. ISBN 0-345-46566-0. Retrieved 2023-02-26.

        The book has a section about Li Wenxian. The book notes: "Information about serial murder in hard-line Communist societies is difficult to come by, since—according to official party propaganda—such heinous crimes is strictly a product of decadent Western capitalism and could not possibly exist in a people's republic. And indeed, the world might never have heard about the monster known as the "Guangzhou Ripper" if the hideously violated corpse of a young woman had not floated ashore in the then-British colony of Hong Kong in March 1992. The victim's body had been slit from throat to groin and her fingers sliced off. When authorities determined that the body had drifted in from the mainland, the outside world learned the truth ..."

        The book later notes, "The break finally came in November 1996, when a woman survived the Ripper's savage assault and identified her attacker as a construction worker named Li Wenxian, a onetime farmer who had migrated to Guangzhou in 1991, just prior to the start of the Ripper slayings. In custody, Wenxian confessed to all thirteen murders, exposing another discomfiting fact that clashed with the utopian mythology of the Communist state—that prostitution, as well as serial homicide, existed in China. A classic "harlot slayer," Wenxian had vowed revenge against all prostitutes after one of them—so he claimed—had cheated him of money shortly after his arrival in Guangzhou. Convicted of murder and rape, he was sentenced to death in December 1996."

      2. Michael Newton books:
        1. Newton, Michael (1999). Still at Large: A Casebook of 20th Century Serial Killers Who Eluded Justice. Port Townsend, Washington: Loompanics. pp. 104105. ISBN 1-55950-184-7. Retrieved 2023-02-26 – via Internet Archive.

          The Still at Large book was published in 1999, but the killer was caught several years earlier. The author wrote on the "Acknowledgments" page, "Others who provided valuable input during 20 years of sporadic research, include ..." and the author wrote on page 5, "Every effort has been made to keep the text of Still at Large as accurate and up-to-date as possible. That said, I would appreciate notification of any errors or omissions." It is likely that the author had done research for this book over numerous years and did not learn that there was an update in the case in which the Guangzhou Ripper was caught. The book has outdated information but I would still consider it a reliable source for background about the case. In fact, Michael Newton corrected this in a book he published the following year (Newton 2000).

          The book has a case history titled ""Guangzhou Ripper" — China (1991–92)". The book notes: "Thus far, there has been press coverage of the crimes in China, marking the case as a "success" in terms of propaganda, even though the murderer remained at large. Chinese authorities ran out of luck in March of 1992, when a seventh victim washed ashore in the nearby British colony of Hong Kong. As described in the South China Morning Post, number seven had been slit from throat to stomach, then crudely stitched shut again, her fingers severed almost as an afterthought. Because no women were reported missing from Hong Kong, it was assumed the corpse had floated in from mainland China, and thus the "Guangzhou Ripper" was belatedly exposed."

          The book has a section titled "Li Wenxian". The book notes, "Still the murders continued for another four years, some victims bludgeoned with a hammer in addition to being choked and stabbed repeatedly. Thirteen women were dead by November 1996 when the Ripper made his first make, leaving his latest victim alive. The woman identified her attacker as Li Wenxian, a one-time farmer from southern Guangdong province who had migrated to Guangzhou in 1991 and found work with a construction team. In custody, Li confessed to the attacks, telling police that he was motivated by revenge against all prostitutes, since one of them had cheated him a short time after his arrival in Guangzhou. Convicted by the Intermediate People's Court on charges of murder, rape, and robbery, Li was sentenced to death on December 18, 1996."

        The article notes: "He may well be the first mass murderer of his kind in China - but hardly a soul in Guangzhou has heard about him.Fear of copycat crime is only one reason why local police authorities have hushed up the case. They have never encountered a psychotic sex killer, and seem afraid to admit one could exist in socialist China. ... The "Guangzhou Ripper" has struck six times, each time leaving his distinctive mark, and doing his work so thoroughly that not one of the bodies has been identified. ... Since there were no reports of a missing young woman in Hong Kong, police speculated the body had floated from China, and the story of the "Guangzhou Ripper" broke in the local press."

        The article notes: "Hongkong and Chinese police are liasing in a bid to discover whether the murder of a young woman, whose horribly mutilated body was found in Tuen Mun last week, is connected with seven recent rape murders of prostitutes in Guangzhou. Every finger has been cut from the corpse found on Tuesday on the shore at Lan Kok Tsui. ... She is believed to be the seventh victim of the "Guangzhou Ripper" who has been terrorising the city since December. All seven were raped then killed in a similar manner. As Lan Kok Tsui is near Shekou, in Shenzhen, police believe the dead woman found in Hongkong may have been murdered in China and thrown into the sea."

          The article notes: "There is a chilling ritual about the Canton Ripper as he goes about his grisly work. First he rapes his victims, then he strangles, suffocates or knifes them to death. In a final act of frenzy, the bodies are dismembered, stuffed into rice bags and dumped in rubbish bins in the sleazy suburbs of Canton. ... While the local press has not dared defy the news blackout, newspapers in nearby Hong Kong have not been so restrained and have reported any detail they can extract from the Cantonese police. The latest burst of publicity was in March, when the mutilated body of a young woman was discovered off the colony's shores."

        2. Kohut, John (1992-06-20). "China living in ignorance of the 'Guangzhou Ripper': A serial killer is stalking the streets of Guangzhou, yet the authorities are determined no one should know this. John Kohut reports". South China Morning Post. p. 22. ProQuest 1541290542.

          The article notes: "But the "Guangzhou Ripper" has one thing going for him which serial killers elsewhere do not. Thanks to a deeply ingrained Confucian-communist puritanism, sex crimes are not normally publicly reported in China, least of all while they are still under investigation. This means the killer's potential victims do not even know he exists. "If we reported the murders, it would cause terror among the masses," said Zeng Tiangui, a senior official in the Guangdong province police force. The Guangzhou Ripper is not China's first serial killer, but he is perhaps the only one to have made it into the newspapers – at least, foreign newspapers. While the state-run Chinese press has not dared to defy the official news blackout on the case, the media in Hongkong, fed by leaks from the Guangzhou police, have reported on the murders, most recently in March when the body of a young women was discovered off the shores of the territory, snagged on a rock."

Earlier last year, the Ripper quit his truck driver's job and started selling something in the village market. ... The Ripper's wife used to help out in the stall. Her whereabouts are not known.

They also found the body parts glued to mannequins inside his bedroom. ... The Ripper kept a meticulous record of his grisly deeds and his victims' particulars — name, age, dialect group, native village, vital statistics and date of murder — in a diary. He also videotaped himself having sex with the corpses. The diary and the videotapes were found in a secret compartment behind his bedroom wall."

          The article notes: "A truck driver, dubbed the Guangzhou Ripper, killed 14 women and cut out their private parts and preserved them. ... The ripper, 39, known only as Ah Piew to fellow villagers in Whangpo in China, was arrested by police last September after a four-year reign of terror. His victims were all prostitutes he lured home and then strangled, like the 19th-Century British killer, Jack the Ripper. ... He is married with two children — a girl, 12 and a boy, five. ... The breakthrough came when one of his victims escaped and led the police to his house." The article says its sources are Sing Tao Evening Post, Ming Pao, Ta Kung Pao, and Eastern Herald.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow the Guangzhou Ripper (also known as the Canton Ripper and Li Wenxian) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Thanks, User:Cunard. As always, I'm impressed with your ability to find sources on obscure topics like these. Using some of the information that you quoted, I've managed to find sources in Chinese like this one. It seems that the subject's name is actually Li Wenxiang (李文香), not Li Wenxian — that's part of why I was having trouble. Mistransliterations like this are fairly common in southern China. I think we should keep and move to Li Wenxiang. 02:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
This is a really good find. I was unable to find the subject's Chinese name during my search for sources, but through your excellent research skills you were able to find it. I agree that the article should not be at Li Wenxian as Li Wenxiang is the proper transliteration. An alternative is to move the article to Guangzhou Ripper as that might be the WP:COMMONNAME for the subject. But I looked at list of nicknames of serial killers, and it seems that most articles of the identified serial killers are titled by their actual names rather than nicknames.

Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Routine coverage here fails WP:GNG. Uhooep (talk) 19:23, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The coverage here so far is a little thin, but there are also hits at Google Books and Jstor, as we would expect with a British ambassador. The GNG is not of course anything to do with importance, so in theory I agree that an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role from journalists and academics in practice it would be pretty hard for one to achieve such obscurity. On the question of what is "routine coverage" for an ambassador, that is always going to be at a higher level than for less notable roles in life. The GNG gives this helpful definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Moonraker (talk) 13:17, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The references on this page are all of one source which does not confirm the gender of the drivers listed. With a quick search I cannot find a suitable source that can be used as a basis for this list. Whilst it appears as a nice to have list for some contributors, I don't think it meets the needs of verifiability or necessity and exists out of assumptions, which would constitute original research. Additionally, it has not been updated since Croatia 2022 - but I wouldn't know if it is needing it because there is no source. Maybe an article "Women in motorsport" or "Females in motorsport" would be better, given the sources that do exist - including the existence of a "women in motorsport" commission at the FIA. Discussion would be appreciated.

Keep The topic seems to satisfy the ...a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources WP:NLIST. Unlike comparison mentioned above "list of left-handed drivers" which does not. Examples I found include:

To the question of how we verify the gender of drivers, we would use what is said in reliable sources, I therefore think the concern about original research is not warranted. An articles about "women in motorsport" would be a nice addition to the encyclopaedia. "Females in motorsport" would be a bad title, as it is only humans who do motorsport and human females are best described as "women" CT55555(talk) 18:07, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
1, 2 and 4 appear to address the topic of women in motorsport. #3 might have WRC in the title at least, but in it he discusses gender within marketing, spectator culture and general perceptions of WIM. He only mentions a couple of women drivers, Mouton, Taylor, who are his sources for a wider topic chat of WIM. None of this is at all topical to WRC!
IMO these belong to an 'equality for women' topic or a WIM topic that doesn't exist. If the article World Rally Championship doesn't have anything on the topic of women/females in WRC because there's nothing to put*, this list isn't needed. If the list is notable, shouldn't there be something in the article, and what would that be?

  • Merge into List of World Rally Championship drivers. The contributor above me proves that this can be kept by WP:NLIST. CAN be kept, however, does not equal SHOULD be kept. The list is redundant but for a person's sex (as a general retrieval criterium rather than variable) and great work on the references (missing for everyone in the main). The difference between the lists is insufficient for a WP:SPINOFF. So please redirect and add a new m/f variable to the main list and the references from the female drivers list by way of merge. gidonb (talk) 02:36, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Notability guidelines exist to help us determine if subject merits an article. The question they answer is not can we create one, it is indeed should we create one (from WP:V). WP:NLIST is clear that notability is about the topic and the issue to consider is if the topic has been "discussed as a group or set": The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. To establish notability, I do not need to show a list the particular women currently in the article, I need to show you that in general female Rally drivers is a notable topic.
    It is common to categorize sportspeople by gender (as opposed to left or right handed) and I assume we all know this, so any suggestion that this is an odd way to categorise drivers seems fragile. CT55555(talk) 05:14, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Point was that there are more considerations than just notability, on which we two do agree. If other considerations still make the option undesirable we should not choose it, even if we can by NLIST. The can was in my opinion document-specific, and the should integrative. Also, obviously, nothing is inherently wrong with lists of sportswomen. Au contraire. We agree on many points, just not on the conclusion. I do not see it as a problem. gidonb (talk)

"It is common to categorize sportspeople by gender"
This would make more sense in sports that are gender segregated, which is most sports! Rallying and WRC (this topic) are not. There are no men's cups and wherever there are ladies/womens' cups in other championships, they are not denied entry into the main 'mixed' competitions. It says here:
"As most notable organized sporting activities are segregated by gender, sportsperson categories constitute a case where "gender has a specific relation to the topic". As such, sportsperson categories should be split by gender, except in such cases where men and women participate primarily in mixed-gender competition. Example: Category:Male golfers and Category:Female golfers should both be subcategories of Category:Golfers, but Category:Ice dancers should not have gendered subcategories."
Except for a Ladies' Cup that ran in the early 90s - which is not primarily - WRC is not segregated thus gender has no specific relation to the topic, same as Ice Dancers.
Same source: "Inclusion of people in a category related to GREDS must be based on reliable sources." I'm not sure we have that. We don't even have a List of women in motorsport or List of female rally drivers where eWRC could be useful as a source. But I wouldn't even say rallying or motorsport is primarily segregated to warrant these lists.
Also, unlike List of sportswomen where every subject is a blue link containing biographies, few of the subjects here have their own articles which raises the question of whether it's useful at all. Rally Wonk (talk) 15:20, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The editing guideline you link to WP:CATGRS is for creating categories. This is a different topic, there is a guideline for creating lists, which I've referenced.
You make a good point about inclusion criteria. I would support a change that included only notable women drivers. I think that would be a good thing and consistent with most list articles that I've seen. But that is an editing decision, not an AFD issue. I am informed by WP:ATD when I say that we should not delete something when improving it is a possible alternative outcome. CT55555(talk) 15:30, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per available sources and comments above. Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:09, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify, expand to prose and rename to Women in motorsports Women in rallying - Sources 1, 2 & 4 provided by CT55555 do not satisfy LISTN for a topic specifically of female World Rally Championship drivers, but provide enough context for a general topic on women in motorsports. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 05:38, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Pelmeen10 If you can explain how the sources provided here meet LISTN specifically for WRC drivers as opposed to generally about women in motorsports, I'm all ears. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 14:20, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    LISTN: One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles. - has women in World Rally Championship been discussed? Obviously. Dozens here about WRC; [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] Or do a Google search with "Michele Mouton" (2 million hits) - they never forget to mention female in WRC. Take any of her interviews. Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:39, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I was asking about the sources already provided by you and CT55555, not for new ones. My questioning of those ones is still valid, and with the introduction of these new ones, I now have to ask: why is this even a list and not a full article? My first answer I can think of here is "not all of these are for the World Rally Championship proper, but for support categories." In which case we can rename to "Women in rallying". These new sources don't change my opinion that this article should not be a list, however I now accept that keeping the topic scope on Rallying (the discipline, not the World Rally Chmpionship league) is perfectly fine. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 19:12, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    An entry in the support championships cannot happen without an entry in the overall World Rally Championship. Rally Wonk (talk) 20:40, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that given the sources, a potential "Women in rallying" article might well end up merged into Women in motorsport as a section anyway. But with that I yield the floor to the Rally experts and will go back to IndyCar :] - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 20:58, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    So far we only have championship-based lists. Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:23, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    To me these sources sound like justification through keywords but not meaning. For example, the sponsored Karlsson presser is just matter-of-factism that the crew are female, the text makes no relevant point. It's a good source for her specific inclusion but doesn't make the list topic notable. For it and the other sources, the topic inferred is always and every time, WIM - the phenomenon of gender in society, where motorsport is the arena in society. Even the Ladies of Monte piece is an excerpt from a motorsport book galled Girl Racers. WIM, IMO, is what the authors of the articles are eluding to when they decide to type something. "she became to be one of Britain's top female rally drivers being able to compete with the men on equal terms" - mentions the discipline of rally but is still WIM. Even "Wahome makes history as first female WRC3 winner at Safari Rally" is WIM, because Wahome cannot be a winner of afemale WRC3.
    WRC is just a competition with specific rules which enables that level of motorsport. Like I said further up, one can't give any text for what's notable about any gender division in specifically the WRC championship, never is it that women do different stages or have to drive slower cars etc, or women's cups and classes now.
    I'm not telling you your view is wrong, I just don't follow that because we can prove entries can be in a cross-category list we need to have the list, especially when it could be a sub-category of another list that doesn't exist!
    Post script: all of the co-drivers and pre-73 Ladies of Monte wouldn't even make this list, and the Munnings article came out before she started her one rally WRC career. Rally Wonk (talk) 20:30, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Don't confuse GNG for articles and LISTN. All the coverage including "she achieved this" or "was first to achieve that", "is exceptional because she is a woman" is way pass LISTN. But as most of the participants here rather want to see an actual article, I remind that a good list is supported by prose, not just bunch of names - take a look at other female racing drivers lists: 24hLeMans, F1, Indy500, NASCAR. In recent years there have been lots of female WRC co-drivers, with good coverage about it in media. Thats where I'd draw the line, "female drivers and co-drivers in WRC". Women in motorsport is clearly too broad in our discussion context, just as well would you vote "delete and create a new article" (who though?). Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:17, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for those lists, didn't know they existed - had no reason to. Only Nascar made sense to me because of Drive for Diversity but hey. Ultimately, if other people want to see this and these lists then fair enough, it goes. That I don't understand the appeal is why I'm here. I wish I could ask all for personal opinions away from all the WP content policies, why does it matter? But I won't.
    Individual's careers, results and achievements belong in biographies and season reports to me. I wasn't proposing a Women in Motorsport be about that unless it was relevant to all the organisations, initiatives and programs, the FIA commission etc etc, and any scientific papers on gender studies/sociology/sexism etc etc on the subject that apply, to jobs in the industry, grid girls, promotion and marketing... a conversation for elsewhere. Rally Wonk (talk) 00:32, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I was similarly unaware of these very well done articles. That should be the standard to which this article strives to be. Mostly prose, with organized lists if needed at the end. I will strike and adjust my !vote in light of this. - "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (work / talk) 01:48, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ambassadors are not inherently notable. Routine coverage here fails WP:GNG. Uhooep (talk) 16:38, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This seems to be one of a number of drive-by nominations of British ambassadors. For me, the article in Times of Israel alone is enough to comply with the WP:GNG. The GNG is nothing to do with importance, so in theory an ambassador could prove to be non-notable, but thanks to the coverage they get in their international role from journalists and academics it would be hard for one to achieve such obscurity. And what may be "routine coverage" for an ambassador is at a higher level than for less notable roles. The GNG gives this helpful definition: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Moonraker (talk) 13:37, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodgers V: which "Swiss national big news outlets" do you see providing coverage here? I only see regional newspapers covering this like Zürichsee-Zeitung and one in Limmattaler Zeitung / St. Galler Tagblatt. --hroest 19:02, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is no major coverage in national news outlets like Tagesanzeiger or NZZ, the main coverage is in regional outlets like Limmattaler Zeitung and St. Galler Tagblatt (they both re-print the exact same article which is common since they are owned by NZZ) - so overall I only see two newspaper articles one in Zürichsee-Zeitung and one in Limmattaler Zeitung / St. Galler Tagblatt and both are quite regional coverage; basically they cover the same event (winning the TV show). Also note that the article is in the Aargau regional section of the Tagblatt so likely not even distributed to all 100k readers but rather a subset of them. So I dont see any significant coverage over a longer period of time. Maybe this is WP:TOOSOON and if further coverage emerges beyond the one time event I think an article would be appropriate. --hroest 19:02, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article contains error and invention from start to finish and all the citable material is already at Monaco succession crisis of 1918 and Succession to the Monegasque throne. DrKay (talk) 11:36, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I never seen the use for such lists, let alone the fact that "heir" is the wrong terminology in those page titles. The correct terminology is "heir-apparent" or "heir-presumptive". Anyways, best we limit royal lists to monarchs & consorts. GoodDay (talk) 21:53, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (possibly renamed) The article is in fact a list of heirs apparent or presumptive to the throne. It is as legitimate as a List of Princes of Wales for the English/British throne or List of Dauphins for the kings of France. On the whole I would keep the name, leaving the issue that they are apparent or presumptive to be dealt with in the lede. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:21, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep I agree with this statement. The article needs some work and cleaing up, especially visually, but it is useful. EmilySarah99 (talk) 01:53, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as superfluous. We already have Succession to the Monegasque throne for the heirs, List of rulers of Monaco for the heirs who ascended to the throne, and those who didn't make the cut don't merit notice. Monaco is not a big/important enough state as to draw comparisons to the Prince of Wales or Dauphin. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:22, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Poorly sourced (unsourced in fact). We usually have lists on rulers and monarchs, the majority of whom were heirs before ascending to the throne, so there is a lot of overlap right there with List of rulers of Monaco. And this cannot be compared to Prince of Wales, Prince of Asturias, Dauphin of France, or Duke of Brabant. Those are 'specific titles' bestowed upon heirs to the throne. As far as I know, no such titles exit for the Monegasque heirs. And, in the absence of any sources it is hard to determine whether the people listed were actually named heirs or is it just the author's assumption that they held the position. Not to mention the other WP:OR issues raised by the nominator. Keivan.fTalk 22:04, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - It appears that Hagemann only made a few Bundesliga appearances with Turbine Potsdam before moving to a really poor promoted side (Tebe) where she featured regularly until the club was relegated. The remainder of her career was in the 2.Bundesliga or regional leagues. I found a brief blurb/interview about her career in Morgenpost but it's not enough by itself. There is trivial coverage like a match report where she scored a goal for Tebe, and single name drop in an article about players joining Turbine Potsdam II.

This musician worked with famous people, but all the coverage I can find on him is a short obituary in The Independent. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:45, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Apparently he was playing a keyboardist at Woodstock so a deeper search sources is needed. scope_creepTalk 10:21, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've had a pretty thorough search and, apart from the AFP obit which got republished in a few places, everything that turned up was the definition of "passing mention". This was the most in-depth thing I found and it's just a mention of an upcoming concert. I have a feeling he might have had more notability in France but the French article doesn't have much either. The obit is reasonably compelling but probably not enough on its own. Vladimir.copic (talk) 12:23, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article twice deleted and now salted under Amirul Syafik. There was clear consensus here and here. Having searched again, I still don't believe that Syafik/Shafik meets WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC. Of the 3 references used in this article, 2 don't even mention him and the other is a passing mention. The external link of Soccerway doesn't count towards SPORTBASIC, as it is a database source. Malaysian searches of "Amirul Shafik" and "Amirul Syafik" do not yield any decent coverage. Best sources are Malay Mail, Utusan and Kosmo, none of which address Amirul in any detail whatsoever so I am sending this to a third AfD.

I'm having hard time nominating this article for deletion. Article fails notability thou. GlatorNator (talk) 06:20, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep well cited, and the reception section features multiple reliable sources noting the sheer popularity of the deathclaw and the high profile antics players like to use it for. I don’t see how this fails notability guidelines. Dronebogus (talk) 10:27, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The rationale amounts to WP:ITSNOTNOTABLE. Perhaps ever so slightly more effort could be expended going through the existing sources and explaining why they are not proof of notability. While the sources are not exactly the greatest, mods that allow players to tame Deathclaws got much publicity from the gaming press, to the point Bethesda changed tack and made it possible officially ingame via DLC, showing their huge popularity. There's also this article, which, while from a content farm and not counting towards notability, can at least be used to provide lore information in the article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 15:55, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I also fleshed out the article just now with an additional, totally new book-based WP:RS that was not there before. If notability was unclear before, I don't think it is now. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 19:50, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or Redirect to whatever is appropriate. While there are a number of sources that have Deathclaw in the title, the actual aspects that define Deathclaw as a notable figure seems to be in passing. For instance, the maze sources are about the maze, not the Deathclaw, and nothing in the articles even really comments on the Deathclaw specifically. The adoption comments are pretty mild, with all of it easily summed up in a sentence about Deathclaw's popularity for players adopting creatures. The Xbox source calling them one of Fallout's deadliest enemies is pretty weak too. Overall, the reception section is rife with content that seems like it has been made to look more substantial than it actually is in order to justify the article. - Whadup, it's ya girl, Dusa (talk) 21:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jclemens (talk) 21:27, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jclemens Sadly, I don't. The journal looks very minor, not indexed in anything I checked. Their website is powered by Wordpress, they have no institutional affiliation (although their three editors seem to have). And they are not open access. Their impact is probably close to zero. I am not saying they are unreliable, but they are effectively one step above being a non-entity as far as both science and the rest of the world are concerned, IMHO. My point is, that an article published in such a journal is not going to be particularly good, to say the least. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:12, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    None of the people proposing merging or redirecting are doing so based on the nominator's rationale, instead arguing that it doesn't meet the basic notability baseline. If this was actually speedily kept, I'd just end up renominating it myself with a proper rationale, so doing so would just be a waste of time. - Whadup, it's ya girl, Dusa (talk) 16:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I was referring specifically to the OP's deletion rationale (or lack of one to be precise), which does not comply with Wikipedia's deletion policy and should've been speedily closed as keep by a passerby editor at the first instance. It's absolutely your prerogative as to whether concerns over the notability of the topic has any merit, or to pursue any course of action (AfD/merge) that leads to a standalone page for this article be taken off mainspace. Haleth (talk) 02:55, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The OP did give a rationale, specifically #8 in the deletion policy, "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline". While no guideline was specified one might assume they are talking about WP:GNG. So I'd actually argue why it should be kept source wise rather than trying to procedurally speedy keep, because it's not speedy keep material. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 08:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Fallout (series). No out-of-universe impact to justify a standalone article. The non-trivia can and should be sufficiently covered in context within the parent article. A series fictional element needs standalone coverage to justify standalone treatment independent of its series. A completed version of the parent article would have a complete overlap with the content to be covered in this child article. czar 04:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a bit ridiculous to say "no out-of-universe impact" when the character is mentioned in a real book and numerous articles about real fans modding Deathclaws into the game, but I digress. It feels like this statement was made without so much as a read over the article with how vague it is. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 05:39, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    But a number of the mentions of Deathclaw modding aren't even about the Deathclaw, they're about the maze that the Deathclaw is in. And being mentioned in a book is not itself a significant example of notability (or even necessarily an example). - Whadup, it's ya girl, Dusa (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:11, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Fan tributes within the series clearly fall within "in-universe" impact. If the point of this character article is its role within the series and its fandom, we already have a dedicated article on that topic that fits this content sufficiently. czar 07:40, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Fallout series, or another valid target. The critical reception is more of a passing description of the characters, and not really a significant reception. Even the fan reception seems to mention the Deathclaw only in passing. The Deathclaw probably deserves mention as part of a larger, higher quality article.

  • Keep. Per Tito Pao, this person passes WP:ATHLETE. // MitYehor (talk) 16:57, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @MitYehor, for my information could you please point to the part of NATHLETE that backs this? Innisfree987 (talk) 17:38, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The current WP:ATHLETE guidelines, as the stand, are too American-centric (or American-influenced centric). Under those criteria and considering Philippine conditions, athletes who won at national school/collegiate competitions like the UAAP or NCAA or the Palarong Pambansa (because of WP:NSEASONS) would be worthy of articles , as well as the likes of Margielyn Didal and Onyok Velasco (because of WP:OLYMPICS), but not anyone who won the events from the Asian Games or South East Asian Games. (Neither would Commonwealth Games medalists.) It is not only the Americas or Western European leagues or Olympics that deserve to have articles of winning athletes. The current guidelines ignore/omitted the possibility that even continents or subcontinents can have Olympics-style events and some of these events' winners would eventually go move on to higher levels of competitions, even the Olympics perhaps. (See Hidilyn Diaz, whose article was already around since the time that she was just a mere participant at the 2008 Olympics and when her highest award was a bronze medal at the 2007 SEA Games...under your argument, her article should have been deleted even though it took her 13 years before winning a gold medal. --- Tito Pao (talk) 06:11, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    My argument is that absent a special notability guideline, current consensus requires demonstration of significant coverage: "The article should provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline." (From WP:ATHLETE, emphasis in the original.) So I do not see how this entry yet satisfies consensus: there are now three secondary sources in the entry, but one includes only a single sentence about the subject and another just three sentences. Innisfree987 (talk) 06:21, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Shouldn't the argument be for expand then instead of delete? --- Tito Pao (talk) 07:34, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It’s incumbent on people who think a subject should have a standalone article to show that sufficient sources exist, per WP:GNG and WP:NRV. What you propose would mean literally every topic just needs expanding, regardless of whether sufficient sources exist to meet our notability standard. Innisfree987 (talk) 11:44, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Explanation: WP:ATHLETE doesn't have a swimming-specific discipline guideline, BUT making an analogy from other disciplines like WP:SKATER or WP:NBAD, winning a gold medal at an international competition such as Southeast Asia Games would warrant article preservation. Is your main argument that this figure doesn't pass WP:GNG? MitYehor (talk) 20:48, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As I say, my argument is that absent a special notability guideline that offers the presumption of notability, then an entry needs to pass GNG. Lenticel has turned up sources I was unable to find; honestly I still find it somewhat borderline, for most BLPs this level of sourcing might not pass AfC for instance but it’s certainly a significant improvement.

  • Keep per Tito Pao's findings --Lenticel (talk) 00:46, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep passes GNG with Philippine Star and Manila Standard both WP:SIGCOV of the subject. Jevansen (talk) 03:12, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep = plenty of significant coverage in reliable sources including newspapers of record such as New Straits Times and multiple Philippines newspapers. Winner at SE Asian Games. I don't understand why a simple search was not done before nomination by an experienced editor, but we all make mistakes. Bearian (talk) 15:36, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Bearian: please do not presume; Miguel Mendoza is a common name and I went through four different iterations of searches turning up nothing about this subject. Innisfree987 (talk) 18:22, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously not notable. A Google search for the book turned up no sources, and if the book isn't notable, a list of stories in the book isn't notable either. Mucube (talkcontribs) 04:42, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
