Weak keep. According to [1], she may be notable due to the following: "She is the first Polish woman who jumped over 14 meters in the triple jump. Polish record holder: triple jump - 14.22 (July 6, 2001 Biała Podlaska). 10-time Polish champion: long jump (2001-2004), triple jump (2000-2004, 2008) and 4-time national vice-champion: triple jump (1996-1998), long jump (2000). 9-time Polish indoor champion: triple jump (1998, 2001–2005), long jump (2001, 2003, 2004) and 5-time national indoor vice-champion: long jump (1998, 2002, 2005), triple jump (1999, 2000) . Personal bests: long jump – 6.63 (July 14, 2002 Szombathely), triple jump – 14.22 (July 6, 2001 Biała Podlaska)." I have no strong opinion as I believe Wikipedia has way too many catalogue-entries for sportspeople who didn't achieve anything, just participated here and there, but it does say she is a "record holder" and "champion", that sounds like something that makes one notable? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:14, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Piotrus, due to the changes in NSPORT, athletes are no longer presumed to meet GNG based on achievements and are required to have at least one GNG source cited in the article at all times (and to meet GNG overall). So none of those accomplishments can contribute to notability. JoelleJay (talk) 17:59, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. No GNG coverage has been identified, and NSPORT is very clear about its notability requirements. JoelleJay (talk) 02:32, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to "weak delete" based on the first source found by Pelmeen. GNG requires multiple SIRS, can more be found? JoelleJay (talk) 05:47, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on the active years, offline sources are likely. Google search gives sources like [2] [3] But it seems Google is unable to find all Polish language sources, see searches on these sites [4] [5]. -Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Tri-Man[edit]

Zero real world notability. Fails as per WP:NOTPLOT. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 22:29, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep featured in a national comic; has been significant enough to be revisited by Alan Moore, Grant Morrison and Mark Millar; and is referred to in publications by at least two comics historians that are cited below the article. IMHO this means at least some debate, discussion or attempt to improve the article is warranted rather than a redirect to a page which contains very little of the material, which does not seem to improve Wikipedia or follow the principles of good faith. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 22:31, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding WP:NOTPLOT the article is roughly 50/50 between plot summary and out-of-universe history. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BoomboxTestarossa What two historians? See below for my comment about Gifford's coverage, IMHO it's trivial / non-academic quality, unfortunately. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:26, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, "academic" seems like a needlessly high bar, and not one that seems to be needed for many other comic pages. It's been mentioned in dead tree sources by Gifford, Murray and possibly Holland, all restricted in terms of coverage by being niche paper books with a finite page count, possibly subject to editing for pressures of space. As you said itself the character has been mentioned in an encyclopaedia, and surely the point of Wikipedia is not being bound by the restrictions of an paper encyclopaedia in terms of space? I'm not sure what the point is in having the ability to cite books and other media (Lew Stringer, for example, probably would have had to have published a restricted paper version of Cor! but instead can run it as a blog because internet) if they can just be dismissed as non-academic. Outside of The Big 2 and some of the weightier indie comics, how many comics get academic coverage?

I also find it curious that you've chosen to respond to this rather than the longer reply below, which does little to make me think Wikipedia guidelines are being applied in anything other than an arbitrary and - dare I say - petty fashion.

Delete as non-notable. I disagree that it's 50/50 between plot summary and out-of-universe history, as the Publication History section is basically just a list of appearances and more plot summary. The only info that would show real-world notability is the first couple of sentences of that section, which are sourced to a blog that can't be used to establish notability. OliveYouBean (talk) 02:02, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the content, would this be something that could be solved by a re-write? I'm not saying the article is a finished work ready to be framed, I'm just desperately trying to understand the wildly different standards that seem to exist compared to, say Sweet Tooth (comics). There seems to be a different set of criteria between new additions to Wikipedia and pages that have sat around in a lousy state for years and it strikes me as very confusing and inconsistent. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:12, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Smash! (comics). Catalogue+plot summary, no analysis, nothing to show that character is significant - just that it existed. There is no indication that any source cited in the article is non-trivial, meets WP:SIGCOV and goe beyond plot summary. Btw, Encyclopedia of comic characters is in IA and Tri-Man's "entry" can be seen here. I wouldn't call it an academic work, most if not all entries there are just few sentences long and consist of catalogue and plot summary info. Denis Gifford is a reliable author, but many of his works were aimed at popular audience, not scholars. This work is not scholarly, it's at a level of a fanboy book of trivia (as evidenced by it having zero academic reviews). Academic work would contain analysis of the topic, not just description. However, there is no harm in redirecting this entry to Smash! (comics) in the spirit of PRESERVE. Anything that has entry in something called an encyclopedia, even if it's a non-academic, fanboy one like this, should have a redirect and be mentioned somewhere in Wikipedia. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:24, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But surely very few British comics have been the subject of academic analysis? Do we junk all of the pages? I mean I've been looking for a copy of Steve Holland's Fleetway Companion to try and flesh out some of the British comics entries with another dead tree source, but is there the chance that any additions would be dismissed as "non-academic" and "fanboy" (which seems like an unhelpfully pejorative term)? Significant is a relative term and one IMHO wide open to recency bias. Is Roocket Girl significant? Is it more significant than Tri-Man? The answer to both seems to be that it's come out in an era when comics attract a lot of 24-hour news cycle bumf, which by Wikipedia criteria seems to make it more notable than something which came out pre-internet. The IPC weeklies had six-figure circulations, before trying to untangle what exactly was exported to the "dominions". For significance I'd again point to being revisited three times by significant comic authors, note WP:NOTPAPER and apologise for forgetting to put a stub tag at the end of it, as it was never the intention to give the impression the page couldn't do with further work; my original plan was to expand sections further but I opted to try and find out more about the notability status before I invested more time and effort into it, and it was intended as a stub which would hopefully get expanded by myself and others in days, weeks, months and years to come.

And again I'd like to question what appears to be a haphazardly-implemented set of criteria regarding newer articles and letting others just sit there for years when not subjected to such stringent attention (leading to the possibility of circular reporting considering how much content is drawn from Wikipedia). Smash! (comics) itself is beautifully written but seems to fail many of the criteria applied here (e.g. I was unable to find any source to allow the comparisons with Spider-Man and the Green Lantern to be worked into the article, and it would seem likely that any that would be discovered would be dismissed as "non-academic, fanboy" ones.

I really, really am trying to add to Wikipedia while having fun and not treading on anyone's toes. I've done the reading (which seems rare, but hey) but the lack of consistency with which many of the principles are applied is making it quite frustrating. I do, however, appreciate everyone's effort to explain this openly in a discussion rather than just blanking the page. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:46, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(I've not gone back and added the stub template or anything while this discussion is going on as that would feel dishonest) BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 08:56, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep What is on the page seems already enough to make it appear notable. As for Gifford ...er.. I really cannot understand why he should have written work aiming at scholars to be considered worthy of trust by Wikipedia. Lacks a world-academic-review-that-is-not-mainly-written-as-a-description so far? Ooooookay but still, what is on the page shows a certain notabilty.MY OH MY 17:04, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - I'm struggling to see how the character is notable, the article says it only appeared in 20 issues then reappeared later but only as a background character. The sources seem good to me though, two proper books about comics. Eopsid (talk) 22:43, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think it serves the encyclopaedia to have an article about this character who appears in multiple notable comics, especially since (at least to me) the source material is the most obscure of them. From what I can see, the coverage is significant enough. HerrWaus (talk) 19:15, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Smash! (comics) - There are only two potential valid sources for establishing notability listed in the article, and neither coul be considered WP:SIGCOV at all. The Encyclopedia of comic characters, for example, is only three sentences long that pretty much does nothing but briefly describe the most basic premise of the character. Regardless of how "academic" the book or is how reliable an author Gifford is, that is simply not significant coverage. That is pretty much the same case with the The British Superhero book - a couple of sentences briefly describing the character's powers, and another stating the character was unpopular and soon canceled, which is not significant coverage. Being mentioned or appearing as a background character in later books does not confer notability (and the comics where those cameos happened are not valid reliable sources for the purposes of establishing notability), and if two very brief descriptions in books is the best that can be found at this time, the character does not pass the WP:GNG. Redirecting to the main Smash! (comics) article, where he is already described, would preserve the article history, and in the case of further reliable sources being found that contain more significant coverage of the character, it could potentially then be spun back out in to a separate article.

Goodwater, Arizona[edit]

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

A gas station/cafe in the middle of the Goodwater Ranch, the scene (more or less) of a 1953 rape/murder which got the perpetrator the chair. It's clear from topos and aerials that this is all that was ever there; there was never a town here and everything is long gone. The notoriety of the crime appears to have been short-lived, as this was pretty much all I could find out about it beyond an AZ Supreme Court appeal ruling which "omit[s] many atrocious circumstances".

Comment: Meh. There's buildings there, and quite a few ranch roads. Could be a settlement. It has its own zip code after all. Otoh, not seeing anything that would be notable right there, on the map or anywhere else. It's only about 10 minutes from the Hopi Travel Plaza (not in Goodwater) and less than that from Painted Forest (not in Goodwater), but neither seems like anything more than completely arbitrary as a redirect. If I don't come back to this, this comment can be considered a very weak delete. Elinruby (talk) 22:36, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

off-topic for AfD but somewhat interesting: I did not find the murder you referenced. I did find something in Newspapers about a much earlier murder (1920s) committed by someone who lived there. Neither factoid strikes me as notable however. Elinruby (talk) 22:41, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:V and WP:GEOLAND, if we're going to have an article on a settlement then we need a reliable source which says it's a settlement. The sources cited in the article are not reliable and I can't find anything better. The news article on the murder says "In the early 1950’s, Goodwater, Arizona was the proverbial wide spot in the road... there was little more in Goodwater than a service station and small cafe", which suggests there wasn't actually a settlement there at all. Relying on the judgement of editors about whether there's a settlement there is WP:OR. Hut 8.5 18:27, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article about former soccer player which fails WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG. Article was previously deleted in 2008, but re-created in 2012 after he made a handful of second division appearances. However, there is no significant coverage available, just transfer announcements (like the OC Register blurb I added to the article) and statistics database entries.

Sorry, but ↑ that's ↑ some weak sauce.

You say that obituaries are not the only available sources; there are ample contemporary sources for Stone's career but this simply isn't true.
The first two sources you provided are obituaries, and the second one mentions multiple people, so it hardly counts as "in depth coverage".
Source #3 is an obituary for the wrong Lauson Stone. Did you even read the title? 🙄
The only source that is entirely devoted to him is #4, which is a fluff piece.

I'd consider a redirect to Harlan F. Stone#Personal life or Operation Pastorius#Trial and execution as a potential compromise. Novemberjazz 03:45, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought your original edit referred to the WaPo obit. You're right about source #3 being the wrong Lauson -- appears to be an uncle. My mistake. Nevertheless, I think there are still sufficient sources to meet GNG. I've expanded the article and added those sources.

It's not your fault, the original reply did refer to the wrong source (#4 instead of #3) before it was edited.

Keep. His role in the saboteur trial has received modern coverage ([8][9][10]). His role in Bertrand Russell hiring controversy is also covered by modern sources [11]. This is above trivial mentions and is in independent, reliable sources, so WP:BASIC is met, and WP:BIO1E doesn't apply, even if the article is destined to not to ever be super long.

Alan Barnes Travelling Scholarship[edit]

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

Non-notable award. Of 500 GBP (about 600 USD). Fails WP:GNG. A Google search returns just 125 results - which is impressively low in itself. A news search returns nothing at all. Not even trivial passing mentions. (As a Northern Ireland-based topic, I searched in the Belfast Telegraph, the Newsletter, the BBC and others, and couldn't find even a single passing mention). While, in a 2016 de-prod note it was suggested that the article could be merged, there is nothing cited to merge. Nor can I find any refs to support even a minimal amount of merged text. The organisation that issues these scholarships/awards doesn't seem to maintain a list of recipients, so how would we support any of the merged content?).

Delete nothing in Gscholar, GBooks, Jstor or anywhere else I can find. There was one person with his name in Gbooks in the Encyclopedia of Afghanistan, but it appears to be a different person. Oaktree b (talk) 21:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote this already on your user-talk page. But you insist in deleting this page. Sorry for repeating myself.

I fully understand your concerns. However, this is not about nostalgia (you had previously said "Wikipedia is not a memorial"). This is about an important poet whose works can be found in many libraries abroad. According to my information, his works can be found eg in the USA, Germany (more than two dozen libraries), Austria, Switzerland, the UK and even New Zealand. On request, I can name more than 30 libraries specifically. More than 20 university libraries. Many references are in Persian. Some are from political groups. I deliberately focused on his literary work, which can also be read in English language. I hope you take into account whether or not a poet has lived in exile too. I hope you don't feel offended but the Iranian government is trying to annihilate everything democratic and all who are fighting for it. Atelier-KaRo (talk) 21:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete no third party sources cited in the article. I looked for some, and couldn't find any. There is an Afghan politician named 'Rahman Karimi', everything I can find under the name is about him and not the subject of this Wikipedia article. The article creator points out some library holdings, but these do not build the case for notability. We need sources about the subject, not by the subject or his family. - MrOllie (talk) 21:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, Google's algorithm takes into account News in English much more than in Persian. Rahman is a common first name and Karimi is a common surname. I think I'll send you some of those library entries. A book in Farsi is not obtained abroad simply because his family wants it. Few examples:

University of Oxford.

University of Berlin

Public Library Dresden

Public Library of Wellington (New Zealand)

University of Vienna

Public Library Zürich (Swiss)

etc Atelier-KaRo (talk) 21:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As I just mentioned, library holdings are irrelevant to this discussion. MrOllie (talk) 22:14, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  To be able to judge the references I added you'll need to read in Farsi. Whereby Google translator meanwhile does not translate so badly.
  
  I think the first reference might be the best from your point of view. Nevertheless, you have to know the other writer to understand the significance. Atelier-KaRo (talk) 22:40, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Please read WP:SIGCOV and WP:RS. Pasting a list of every website you can find that mentions Karimi is not helpful. Ideally, any reference meeting WP:RS would be incorporated into the article, not enumerated here. Skimming those quickly, most of those sources appear to be blogs or other self-published sites. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 22:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The first reference is a published book about "notable" poets of south of Iran. Some others are from Radio and TV stations. Others are Iranian News sites. None of them is "self-published" by Karimi or his relatives!
    
    Is it possible that there is a specific reason for insisting in deleting the article? As I asked before, it'll be helpful to clear some points. Should others try to help? If you don't like anything I'm forwarding you. It could be helpful to have others. I'm not sure if others would be provide more. All in all, in exile living authors and artists can not provide the same form of proof in English as somebody from Europe or US.
    
    I really hope this isn't a kind of personal or political issue. I feel like Asterix in Egypt. Atelier-KaRo (talk) 22:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've already told you that this is a notability matter, not a political one. We routinely nominate a wide variety of articles for deletion if an editor feels that they don't meet our notability criteria. You've also yet to address the COI issue. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:01, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      Regarding to COI issue: There are three ways to solve the problem (in my opinion). 1. Somebody else would publish the article. 2. You tell me, which information are suspicious and need proof. 3. I publish our discussions and hope other would help. Of course, I'm aware not everybody is familiar with the structures of Wikipedia and is able to make changes.
      
      Which way is the best? Or is there another way? Atelier-KaRo (talk) 23:13, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  P.S.: I don't agree that finding books in libraries wouldn't address notability criteria. Of course, finding a book in few libraries might be kind of local thing. But finding a book in Farsi all over the world in public and university libraries show clearly that the criteria match. Atelier-KaRo (talk) 23:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Louise Riofrio[edit]

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NPROF or WP:NACTOR (only minor/uncredited roles). A little bit of independant coverage (e.g. the Express story) and some unreliable sources, but don't think it's enough for WP:GNG. Kj cheetham (talk) 19:33, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why the "Louise Riofrio" article belongs in Wikipedia[edit]

Arguably, Riofrio satisfies the criterion "Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment" — if by "field of entertainment" means a combination of minor acting roles combined with scientific activity — as if a singer had given conference talks on archaeology — or a nightclub comedian had given conference talks on chemistry. In this regard, Riofrio seems quite remarkable. Also, note that Wikipedia has the "Category:Pseudoscientific physicists". If Riofrio's cosmological model is empirically valid, she is an extraordinary genius — if her cosmological model is empirically invalid, she is an outstanding "pseudoscientific physicist". Suslindisambiguator (talk) Feb. 7. 2023

Delete. Comes nowhere near meeting WP:PROF with only a few citations to her work, and also nowhere near WP:NACTOR with only a few uncredited and minor roles. I also can't see any case for the general notability guideline. The subject appears to be subject to WP:FRINGE with her main claims to fame being her statements that the speed of light is changing and that there is a black hole in the centre of the Earth. Only very credulous sources report on such things. More reliable sources just ignore them. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. WP:AUTHOR would give he a pass if "The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique". Is her model significant? It seems that maybe.

Delete Riofrio isn't a first-author or even a co-author on a single peer-reviewed paper, save a fly-by-night journal (Planetary Science) that published four issues of a mere 9 papers and has no recorded list of editors or even of peer review. The "Selected publications" are otherwise submissions to conferences, which receive no or little vetting. Nor does she apparently have a Ph.D. Her "credentials" as a conservationist are a link to an apparently self-written profile on "The Cruise Ship Enrichment Network" that does not mention the word "conservationist," but in which she claims to be "invited to speak at scientific conferences worldwide."

The coverage is from databases, the discovery annoucement, along with few further observations and the orbit determination. The comet is also mentioned here, but it is mostly the discoverer's account about it. It is also mentioned trivially among the comets discovered by Terry Lovejoy[14].

Keep. Satisfies GNG. The precedent established by this judgment has received significant coverage in many books and periodical articles. It is impossible to understand the meaning of "court or tribunal" in Article 267 of the TFEU treaty, and the consequent effect of that article on which bodies can make preliminary references to the ECJ, without this judgment. Accordingly, it will be necessary for Wikipedia to explain what this judgment decided. The judgment is correctly cited as "C-196/09", but is also called "Miles", "Paul Miles", "Miles and Others", "Miles and ors", "Écoles européennes", "Europäische Schulen" and various similar names. For the avoidance of doubt, the judgment is a document. James500 (talk) 23:41, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't find any mention of this decision in Jstor or GScholar. A court decision alone isn't GNG, we need sources discussing it. I don't see any law journal articles about this subject. Delete Oaktree b (talk) 15:25, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can find mention of this case in GScholar (and a very significant amount of mention in a very significant number of sources). There are law journal articles entirely about this subject: [15] [16] [17]. They appear in literally the first page of results in GScholar and are very difficult not to notice because they stick out like a sore thumb. There are many other journal articles that include coverage of the case in GScholar and elsewhere. The actual number of sources with some mention in GScholar is roughly on the order of 170+ [18]. JSTOR contains very few law journals and is not an appropriate place to stop looking for coverage in them. There is also coverage in the journals and publications held on university and university press websites, and in the journals held on the sites that actually hold most of the law journals. You should have looked at Google Books which has plenty of coverage in more than fifty books and periodicals: [19] [20]. (I will add some if I have time, though I really think that three full periodical articles is more than enough). James500 (talk) 20:07, 31 January 2023 (UTC) I wrote the preceding comment before the !vote below was posted. James500 (talk) 20:11, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I note that the search done here is on the case number (C-196/09) and not the title of article. Since searching on the legal case number provides better sources than the article title should there be a redirect from the case number to the article? As others have noted, not much turns up in a search on "Miles v European Schools." Lamona (talk) 06:03, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think for me it is probably merge to a target to be discussed. My thoughts are (and I accept that I'm not at all knowledgeable in this area) that the case appears to have had a very marginal impact on the overall running of the ECJ. If it has had a more important role than it appears, presumably it should have a section on European Court of Justice. If it did and the section needed to be fleshed out then maybe it could be a stub later. There are very few references I can find when searching for the case number. JMWt (talk) 19:51, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate & Draftify There are numerous reliable secondary sources, including scholarly sources, discussing this decision, as can be seen from even a cursory use of Google Books and Google Scholar. So the case is clearly notable, and there are clearly sources, but there is virtually no content to the article. So, neither Keep nor Deletion seems to be in order here; rather this is a classic case for Incubation per WP:ATD-I Banks Irk (talk) 19:24, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per James500. Looking at Google Books, the case seems to be cited quite frequently in European Union law textbooks. Of the books with previews, this book from the Oxford University Press devotes the bulk of a page to the judgement here. I'm assuming good faith that James500's sources do cover the case. I also agree that JSTOR is not an appropriate search to judge the notability of legal topics, since that is largely outside its jurisdiction. By comparison, a HeinOnline search for "Miles" plus the ECJ citation number gives 61 results This is definitely on the drier and more technical end of the spectrum, but the topic meets WP:GNG and should be kept per WP:NEXIST despite the brevity of the article. If there is consensus to delete though, the best merge target as an alternative to deletion would be the subject matter of the case, Preliminary_ruling#Courts_that_may_ask_questions -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 23:10, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the listing is nowhere an "indiscriminate collection of information". Could only be relevant if WP decided that no list of recorded songs could have a place here. Similar articles do exist with even poorer sourcing. Otherwise it just needs expansion and proper sourcing, not deletion. Most of the films already have enough references and the songs may be traced upon searching on the web.

Keep - since this is an extension of List of songs recorded by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, they should have been grouped into one single AfD. The rationale for keeping them though remains the same. WP:NOTDATABASE does not apply here. It is not a database, it is a list, a legitimate one, which needs sourcing, just like every list of recorded songs by other singers. I suggest that we start a project of sourcing them all instead of deleting a page which so much time and effort have been put into. Other than that, the notability of the songs as suggested by the nominator isn't as important (in lists of works, no requirement exists for all the works to be notable - the subject is more notable, as per WP:NLIST: "the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable") - fact is, by the way the majority of films are notable, so actually NFILM might be more suitable than NMUSIC. If by then no sources are found then I believe the right course of action would be redirecting it to the main list. Shahid • ^Talk2me 11:18, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

NLIST: There are at least 2 very good reasons, #1)- Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables, #2)- a list topic is considered notable 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. A third reason is verifiability|. Not wanting to take anything away from anyone, great or not, all someone has to do is supply a source that fulfills the criteria. That way there is proof there is "the legend", and won't feel as though the great country artist Loretta Lynn sang Legend In My Mind. -- Otr500 (talk) 05:19, 5 February 2023 (UTC) _[reply]

Twisted Fortune[edit]

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

Article about a film, not properly sourced as passing WP:NFILM. The only notability claim immediately apparent here is that there were actors in the cast who went on to become more notable for later work than they were at the time, which isn't a notability criterion per se -- and the only "source" cited is a directory entry in an IMDb-like database that isn't an automatic notability clincher. But even on a Google search for older sourcing, all I found was more directories, with no discernible evidence of WP:GNG-building coverage about it turning up on regular, news or books searches.
As always, we do not want to just indiscriminately keep an article about every single film that's ever been made -- a film's notability has to be established by showing that it's been a subject of coverage and analysis by film journalists and reviewers, not just by using directory entries to verify that it exists.

Keep - Due to Shakur being a notable artist, I would say that the article meets the standards of notability, however it definitely should be updated with proper sources. ULPS (talk) 16:06, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Many "List of songs recorded by X artist" are or have been Featured Lists (List of songs recorded by Ariana Grande, List of songs recorded by Rihanna, List of songs recorded by Coldplay, List of songs recorded by Adele, List of songs recorded by Madonna, List of songs recorded by Paul McCartney, plenty of others...). Tupac is one of the best-selling hip-hop artists in history.

Per WP:NLIST: "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."

There's no question it needs sourcing work though, it is unacceptable that a list of the size has remained unreferenced for so long. Mooonswimmer 16:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If someone were to locate and add said sources then I'd be willing to withdraw this but so long as the page remains unsourced my argument still stands. QuietHere (talk) 01:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a source, that's just a list of songs without any context. We have WP:NOTDIRECTORY for a reason. QuietHere (talk) 15:30, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a reliable source. NOTDIRECTORY addresses Wikipedia articles, not sources. Rlendog (talk) 18:23, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But the only thing that source would be good for is confirming the list of songs we already have here, which would still leave us with a list of songs recreated from there.

Islamic bicycle[edit]

Does not exist.

Last year I proposed deletion but was told that the sources show that the subject of the article exists - as I cannot read Farsi I asked for a quote from one of the sources to show that the subject of the article exists but no quote has been provided. Earlier I had suggested merging to Bicycling and feminism but that was rejected. I do not propose to rename the article. Since 2018 several people have discussed renaming but have not actually done so. Chidgk1 (talk) 11:33, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Yes, it is not something that exists. It is an article that attempts to draw together, in a WP:SYNTH-like manner, anecdotal news and opinion pieces about issues about women cycling from around the world. IF there is anything useful to be said on this subjects, Women in Islam would be the place. Inventing names for things that do no exist, such as "Islamic bicycle", is WP:OR. Iskandar323 (talk) 11:40, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep and let rename discussion @ t/p proceed at its own pace:

Though nom uses word 'Last year' previous AFD discussion is closed as Keep and continue rename discussion just on 2 January 2023. I.e. This AFD is repeating back with just few weeks gap is strange.
Talk:Islamic bicycle#Rename discussion 2 started by me on 12 Jan 23 clearly states ".. This is just tentative discussion, as part of WP:RFCBEFORE and not an RfC in itself. Before going for RfC I will prefer to expand the article so users will have better idea to take call. So pl don't be in hurry to start RfC but welcome to express primary opinions 'on suitable names' if you have not expressed in earlier discussion. .."
- Today I added short description to the article "Women biking or bicycling in Muslim world" and added a section to expand the article." Within few hours repeat AFD nomination is being raised. See article history Is this really not bordering 2nd point in WP:Speedy keep → WP:CSK 2. The nomination .. made for .. disruption ?
- Nom raising 'content dispute' question pertains to minority view as of now the rest of users in previous AFD suggested change of track for the article with rename. In any case usually a content dispute is supposed to go through WP:DR processes. WP:AFD is last stage and in previous AFD I pointed out nom that they had not completed WP:BEFORE.

Nom themselves seem well aware 'Significant coverage' for the topic "Women biking or bicycling in Muslim world" is available. Rather I am using a citation they used in another article themselves (But they did not use women cycling related content in detail enough). This raises a question whether they are trying to avoid reflection of criticism in the citation – (the citation used previously by themselves)– under some other pretext. I wish they assure us, that is not the case. If that is the case then they are expected to contest content with WP:DR and not by repeating WP:AFD.

I can develop article in draft namespace too but that is not fair chance to the article which has been just recently discussed through AFD process. Hence I encourage nom to withdraw repetitive AFD nomination and give a fair chance to the process of article repurposing and rename at the talk page.

"Bicycling in Islam" is OK name. --Petar Milošević (talk) 09:22, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chidgk1, AFD is not a forum to discuss article renames. It's a waste of editors' time to consider deletion and other alternatives and bring together sources if you are just seeking to rename an article. And while it is technically not against the rules, it is disruptive to rename an article that is in the middle of an AFD discussion because it messes up a discussion closure or relisting with XFDcloser which is the tool we use to handle these processes. I typically move an article back to its original name to close a discussion and then, if necessary (because an article is being Kept), move it again to the desired page title. So, your "be bold and do it" attitude causes problems for those of us who close discussions and saying that you withdraw a misguided nomination on the condition that an article rename is out-of-place. As the nominator, you can recommend an action you prefer but you can't keep a discussion hostage until you get the result you want. Since I have expressed some strong opinions here, I will not be closing this discussion but I assume the admin who does won't be happy with how this one was evolved. Liz ^{Read!

Comment @4lepheus B4ron: It had been deleted after you had tagged it for speedy deletion per WP:G7, but then undeleted when it was called to the deleting admin's attention that G7 did not apply in this case, as has already been explained on your user talk page. As for the article itself, I'm having trouble finding references outside of IMDb and the usual array of other performer databases, so the subject may not meet WP:GNG (haven't gone deeply enough to formally !vote either way), but "It's been a stub for years" is not in itself a sufficient reason to delete an article by whatever method. --Finngall ^talk 19:56, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Will Stutely[edit]

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

This unreferenced short article doesn't indicate the subject's notability (minor character related to Robin Hood's folklore). The article, in its current form, violates WP:OR/WP:V and in form, WP:IPC, since it's pretty much just a list of a few works he appears in (there is even no plot summary to speak off...). My WP:BEFORE is not finding anything that meets WP:SIGCOV (and what I see is a plot summary with no analysis of the character's literary significance); I suggest redirecting this to Merry_Men#Known_members. PS. To add insult to the proverbial injury, there is a comment on the talk page, from 2006, signed by one " Allen W. Wright", of this that suggests the content here is both wrong and a copyvio (" Whoever originally wrote this article got some facts seriously wrong. Unless Stutely is considered a permutation of Will Scarlet, then he does not appear in any of the early ballads as originally stated. Also, the one pre-existing accurate bit was copied directly from my website. I've now changed the text a bit and corrected the mistakes.") - no website has been linked, unfortunately. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge to Will Scarlet. Characters in such well-known folk tales as these are certainly notable, but as he is usually conflated with Will Scarlet then it would probably be reasonable to merge with that article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:09, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No referenced content to merge, but if we can find RS for the claim present in both articles that he is a mispelled version of the other name, it would be good to add it there after a redirect. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:22, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, appearances in literary works don't actually need referencing, since the works are references in their own right. You don't need one work to tell you that a character appeared in another. That would be senseless. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing the point - such information is WP:INDISCRIMINATE trivia. See also: MOS:POPCULTURE, WP:IPC and WP:NOTTVTROPES. So not only is this content unreferenced, it is also unencyclopedic. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I really don't think you can apply this to appearances in medieval ballads! It's not really some trivial pop culture mention. The fact a character appears who is often conflated with another much better known one is clearly significant and not in any way unencyclopaedic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was primarily referring to the latter half of the article ("Later adaptions"). Anyway, if we can find a RS for the fact that he appaered in some older ballads and/or was conflated with another character, I'd certainly support mentioning this in the better known character article (where, as I noted, this is, I think, already mentioned, but without a reference). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:00, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Merry Men#Known members, where he is already listed and described with pretty much all of the information regarding his role in the couple of ballads he appeared in. Even if the article had reliable secondary sources (which it currently does not), I would still argue that per WP:NOPAGE, it would be far better to have the information contained on the main Merry Men article, than also have a rather pointless spinout article that just reiterates the exact same information. If any reliable sources are found that actually discuss the possible conflation with Will Scarlet, it could perhaps be merged there instead, but this should not be done without some sources discussing it.

It looks like this animated film's release may be in limbo. There are barely any sources about the production of the film (production was done between 2020-2021 according to Twitter) to begin with. A release of July 2022 was to happen, but did not. There's not even a cast list officially announced, much less a a new release date. The best outcome would be to draftify this for now.

There's been nothing in the trades for two years. IMDb Pro and Variety Insights don't list any updates since July 2022 (and that was to update to say it had been take off of the release schedule).

Arab Sheikh child marriage racket of Hyderabad[edit]

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

Whatever I have written was sourced. Maybe the article is not written properly, I am not editing for long time, and using proper headings, sub headings, infobox, categories, sections, I don't have experience in that.

All lines are sourced and proper coverage is given for years. Please check the sources and decide. More user's views are required. Rambo XTerminator (talk) 07:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As there were many sources, I managed to give the source of most lines just after that line, but in one sentence, I did not give the source just after that. That source is in the article, but I don't remember which source. The title could be changed. I believe in Wikipedia, other editors should work together to develop an article, not just harass other editors by drafting well-sourced articles. I cannot develop the article more, as I don't have time and lack of experience. Rambo XTerminator (talk) 07:21, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify per TrangaBellam. And I'd advise the article creator (who seems to have nominated their own article for deletion, possibly in error) to either spend more time finding out how the English-language Wikipedia works, how it differs from sub-tabloid media, and why it doesn't cite such sources, or to find a Wikipedia version in a language they are more competent in.

Ivan Maleshoff[edit]

Bringing to AfD to get the wider community to look at this page. My concern is that the story may be false.

I absolutely urge people to look at the discussion on the talkpage about the sourcing for this page. Basically the only sourcing for what is an astonishingly prolific serial killer in the Soviet Union are a couple of wire-based foreign news reports over a week or so in June 1935. The spelling of the name varies more than transliteration differences would allow, and despite appearances doesn't quite look like a typical Russian or Ukrainian name. Nothing appears in Soviet Ukrainian court documents. Nothing appears in any Russian or Ukrainian sourcing post USSR. Russian language Wikipedians who looked into this dismissed it as false (discussion linked to on talkpage)

So, there is some RS sourcing for this article, but it's internally inconsistent, and other sourcing hasn't been found where it really should exist. OsFish (talk) 05:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Russia, and Ukraine. OsFish (talk) 05:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : The discussion, both on the talk page and the Russian language discussion (ala google translate) seems pretty convincing that this is a hoax. The potential sources listed with null-results seem to cover the situation pretty well; if it were a true story, then it seems to me that it would most likely appear in several of them. Overall, I think it would be better to delete it than to have it present without marking it as a hoax. In addition, even if it weren't a hoax, it seems to fail WP:NBIO. (It would be nice to list it as a hoax explicitly, but the discussions seem to indicate that it would be difficult to demonstrate that from reliable sources, since absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.) Radzy0 (talk) 18:48, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I tried that, and I think the ru wikipedians tried as well. Малышев/Malyshev is the closest common surname, but I also tried Малешев/Maleshev, Малишев/Malishev, Машелов/Mashelov etc. but got nothing. The name and patronymic (which aren't ambiguous in spelling at all) and various forms of murder/mass murder and Kyiv.

Comment Lets examine the references:

Ref 1 [26] Meet these folk. This a paid for PR it looks like with a profile attached to each.

Ref 2 [27] This is an interview. It does states he has won several awards but they are mostly growth awards for business, essentially industry awards.

Ref 3 [28] Another interview.

Ref 4 [29] This is a passing mention.

Ref 5 [30] This is straight up PR.

Ref 6 [31] PR again.

Ref 7 [32] Interview style PR.

Ref 8 [33] Same content as ref 1. Paid PR.

Ref 9 [34] 404

Ref 10 [35] Profile. Growth platform for companies. You can signup if you meet the requirements.

Ref 11 [36] Invited panelist.

These references are typical of entrepreneur coverage for a UPE article. There is a several interviews which are WP:PRIMARY, the PR coverage is non-rs as its not reliable and the profiles are non-rs as well as they not significant. It fails WP:SIGCOV. There is not a single WP:SECONDARY source amongst this first block, where is should be. scope_creep^Talk 09:29, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While the articles you list as "PR" are laudatory, there is no evidence that they are paid promotion. We should be careful and distinguish between those sources where we have proof that are actual press releases and those that use promotional language.

Keep - To first reply on the comment above, yes "being executed for drug offences does not make someone notable" but in this case the execution drew sustained international media attention from 1993-1995 and has received coverage in secondary sources such as this law paper from 2004 and Amnesty International, also 2004. AP News commented that "Along with the flogging of American teen-ager Michael Fay for vandalism, the drug case has put international attention on Singapore’s tough approach to crime." WP:PERP and also WP:ONEVENT are both decent rationales for deletion but I think the former does not apply because we have (at least weak) "sustained coverage of the event in reliable secondary sources" and the latter doesn't apply because it's better to have an article about the person than the arrest in this case.

Comment THe main question should be whether WP:LISTN can be met. WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP.—Bagumba (talk) 18:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The rankings for best win/loss record are certainly significant. The Warriors got attention for their 73 win season in 2016, as did the Bulls for winning 72 games in 1996. (Those links are only the tip of the iceberg.) It does make sense for this article to focus on winning percentages, because not all NBA seasons have had the same number of games. Yes, the cut off point is rather arbitrary, but that's an editorial decision. We have to draw the line somewhere. Zagalejo (talk) 01:25, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, similar lists are fairly common in books: [37], [38], [39], etc. Some of those are kids' books, but those still help show that this is a subject of broad interest. Zagalejo (talk) 01:57, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In terms of source issues, the whole article can actually be sourced to a single BBRef page, see [40]. As for the cutoff, I believe it is actually .750, it's just that nobody can finish exactly there because of the current amount of games in a season. I think a significant amount of LISTN problems can be overcome by renaming the article to something like List of best NBA season win–loss records, as there's a ton of notability for the concept of "who has had the best season". Pinguinn 🐧 12:11, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per the sources and rationales provided by Pinguinn and Zagalejo. I agree that .756 is an odd cutoff and it should be .750, but there may not be any teams between .750 and .755. Rlendog (talk) 18:18, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Outnumbered Sikh battles[edit]

Obvious POV issues aside, this is not a notable topic; "battles in which Sikhs were outnumbered" is not a topic that is discussed by independent, reliable sources. We already have List of battles involving the Sikh Empire and List of battles between Mughals and Sikhs, in addition to articles about the individual battles.

The result was delete. Like Valereee, I really hate this. I love coffeehouses, especially good ones. But those editors advocating Deleted have gone through dozens and dozens of references and found that they don't provide SIGCOV to meet NCORP. They have really gone beyond a simple review of this article to go deeply into every citation presented in the article or in the discussion and found most of them to be trivial. Their effort is not a reason to close this discussion as Delete but they have presented a case that isn't refuted by those wanting to Keep this article. Just as advice to content creators, it doesn't help save an article to include every mention of the article subject. Quality, not quantity helps both those wanting to preserve an article and those who are advocating Delete.

Seattle Coffee Works[edit]

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

I really hate this. I don't want to AfD. But there is literally no evidence from the sources that this is a notable subject, and the article creator is literally forcing me here. There are 20 sources. I looked at the single one that is used more than once, thinking that must of course be something that would show notability. It does not. I started through the next. Nope. AB, why are you doing this? Why are you forcing other editors to do a source assessment for 20 sources in order to show that you didn't do what you were supposed to do, which is to find the THREE sources which support notability? Please, please just show me the three. Not twenty. THREE. Why won't you just do that? Why?

Ugh, templates. There's a source assessment at Talk:Seattle Coffee Works#Source assessment. As far as I can tell nothing supports notability. If someone else knows how to transfer that here for easy nav, please do. Valereee (talk) 00:12, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are mentions of them [41] but I don't see any substantial coverage about them. One location was sold, so there's some coverage about that. The source assessment table mentioned has only about three entries then error messages. Based on that as well, it's a Delete. I feel your pain about deletions as well. Congrats on sticking around wiki for 16 years though Valereee ! Oaktree b (talk) 00:59, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The error messages are because I created a 20-row table then didn't fill in the bottom 17 rows after the first three showed no notability. Anyone else who wants to go spend hours checking these sources to see if there's some off chance one of them would support notability -- even though AB is not willing to tell us which ones to look at -- feel free to fill it in, go for it. Valereee (talk) 01:05, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and now we've got ~~THIRTY~~ FORTY-FOUR sources. @Another Believer, more is not better. Which three, AB? Instead of adding 10 more sources, just tell us: which three sources support notability? Why are you adding sources when what is needed is for you to tell us which sources support notability? Why not just tell us which sources instead of spending your time adding more sources that will muddy the waters even further and make it even more difficult for other editors to assess? Valereee (talk) 01:11, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, we've asked for the three best sources, we'll debate what we have here. If it gets harder to pick which ones are good, well, that's their issue. We'll do our assessment with what we see and what's presented to us. I'm not rewriting the article for them either. Oaktree b (talk) 04:31, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Oaktree b, the problem is that many people will drive by, see 44 sources, see that 25 of them have been added recently, not bother to check any of the sources, and assume there's been improvements made. It's all refbombing, but as you can see from @Drmies' !vote below, it confuses people as to what they're actually looking at. No one wants to look at thirty sources, and the people who think AB is being persecuted simply will not agree to discuss which sources are the ones that support notability. AB is experienced and well-liked enough that people assume he's also well-intentioned, so the refbombing strategy often works for him. AB thinks of himself as well-intentioned, too, so cognitive dissonance prevents him from being able to accept that what he's doing isn't actually of benefit to the project, even when other well-intentioned people object. It's all very circular. Valereee (talk) 11:33, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ɱ

(talk) 01:55, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MJ, it's not that Eater can't be used. It's that Eater Seattle is still local and can't be used to support a claim of notability if all the other sources are also local. And of course a volunteer who works in foodservice can edit restaurant articles. They just need to keep in mind that what may look very important from inside the industry to someone in a certain area may not look notable from outside that industry and area. As someone inside the industry, you must know how much local coverage is given to basically every new opening in an area. Not all of them become notable. Valereee (talk) 11:24, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yet you just said industry/niche sources aren't applicable in proving notability? You can't move your goalposts back and forth on a whim. And like I said, this idea of all local sources being tossed out in deletion discussions is appalling and completely contrary to our policies and guidelines. There's a reason nobody here has linked to any in their rationales. It passes them.

ɱ

(talk) 13:44, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for not being clear.

They can be used to fill in the article. But if there are no sigcov sources outside the local area/outside industry niche publications, we haven't proved notability. We shouldn't have an article in the first place. I could literally create 150 articles for Cincinnati restaurants tomorrow if I could use nothing more than the Cincinnati Enquirer, City Beat, Cincinnati Magazine, the Cincinnati Business Courier, plus their own little industry niche publications like Pizza Today or whatever. That coverage does not support a claim of notability. If a restaurant in Cincinnati is notable, media from outside the local area and/or outside the industry will cover it.

Hard to see the forest for the trees here, as is typical with these articles. There is so much fluff, so much material from local newspapers and sources (and that kind of coverage is always positive--so calling it promotional is valid) that it's hard to see which sources aren't just local things and actually discuss the subject in some depth and with some objectivity.

Strong keep per GNG. There's plenty of coverage in reputable publications documenting the company's operational history, retail locations, reception, etc. The entry should be expanded, not deleted. This is yet another restaurant article I've started (I think we're up to 25 or so?) flagged for deletion recently. Ever since the Daily Dozen fiasco, a handful of editors have been hounding me. All of the articles have been kept; none have been deleted. I've "literally forced" Valereee to jump to AfD mere minutes after not answering their questions across multiple article talk pages? Give me a freakin' break. I'm tired of certain editors not assuming good faith and treating me like I have no clue what I'm doing. Also, I don't understand why certain editors feel a need to follow me around and flag things I've worked on, like some crusade to rescue Wikipedia from the evil restaurant entries.

Notable? LegalSmeagolian (talk) 19:28, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Bri, I'm inclined for restaurants to at least consider such coverage, especially if it's significant (although in this case it's a bit synthy unless the sources themselves are pointing out that this is in a city known for its coffee). Being on multiple best-of lists usually makes me start a userspace draft, which I add to as I wait for three instances of significant coverage. I personally wouldn't move to article space on the strength of those two sources, but I guess I'd accept the Thrillist 8 best, as it does seem to have been written by someone who actually visited the shops in question and it represents coverage that isn't simply local. I wish it were several paragraphs instead of one, but if there were really good sigcov elsewhere, that might get it over the hump for me.

But are these mentions an indicator the restaurant is or is likely to soon become notable? Yes, I think so. Is it enough right now? I'd like to see actual significant coverage, not just a short paragraph or an appearance on a list of 50. What I'd really like to see is someone writing about their tour of Seattle coffee shops calling out Seattle Coffee Works with a several-para mention in the Chicago Tribune. Valereee (talk) 20:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with Mj that these requirements are bullshit or made up; they're the applicable notability guideline.

Yup, I'm prepared. Unfortunately, I'm used to the hounding and deletion nominations at this point, even though I've been working to promote previously (AfD)-nominated entries to GA status (Bailey's Taproom, Bluehour, Bit House Saloon, etc). Some editors just keep targeting me and my work even though the articles are almost always being kept. Sure would be refreshing if editors offered to collaborate and improve content, instead of trying to tear down entries which have a place at Wikipedia. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:43, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't looked to see how many were nom'd and how many of those were kept, but of the three you linked, two ended in no consensus, and none were by the same nom as this one. You don't have to prove it to me, but I foresee eventually there will be either a string of keeps by a single nominator (who will be tbanned) or a string of deletes, in which case you'll be tbanned. Either outcome would suck. I'll say this: in those three you linked, I can glance at the ref list and see AUD without even checking for depth. I don't see AUD in anything in the ref list of this article though. Levivich (talk) 20:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I don't know why I'd be topic-banned when I'm promoting entries to Good article status, but ok! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:21, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's the same thing this guy said. Levivich (talk) 20:27, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what else to say. A handful of editors keep nominating articles for deletion, even sometimes in retaliatory ways (I make progress in one place, so my 'reward' is immediate tagging elsewhere). The articles are generally being kept. Since then, I've worked to promote several of them to Good status even when editors were actively trying to interfere with the nomination. I don't understand why I would be topic-banned for improving/promoting content which editors have elected to keep via consensus. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:52, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be opposed to merging to Coffee in Seattle; while I still don't see any NCORP sources that would justify a stand-alone article, some of the national and international brief mentions suggest that it might be WP:DUE for inclusion in an article about coffee shops in Seattle. Levivich (talk) 18:38, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This article is now bombarded with 82 references, and the deluge of trivial coverage as well as the inability of this discussion to identify significant coverage of the company itself seems to weigh against a merge. Also, the Coffee in Seattle article mostly focuses on blue-linked companies, and only namechecks companies without articles, so there does not appear to be much to merge within the current structure of that article. Beccaynr (talk) 19:29, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Finally, I found the thing I asked for fifteen billion times, and no one seemed to want to provide; the actual regional-source-for-notability guideline, from WP:AUD:
The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary.
That's a pretty clear indication that solely local coverage is not enough, and it's pretty clear to me that the coverage from the Seattle Times is the publication acting in its role as a local paper of record. Furthermore, this is what NCORP has to say about trade publications:
Trade publications must be used with great care. While feature stories from leading trade magazines may be used where independence is clear, there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability. This is because businesses often use these publications to increase their visibility.
And "best-of" lists are mentioned in NCORP as "Examples of trivial coverage that do not count toward meeting the significant coverage requirement". I don't know why it was so difficult to get that from all the !delete voters on this page who swore up and down that they're a part of the notability guidelines. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, The Oregonian is generally treated as regional. That doesn't actually mean coverage only in TO is sufficient. For me, if I see one sigcov of a Seattle restaurant in the LA Times, one in the Seattle Times, and one in the Oregonian, I'd probably lean toward accepting at AfC. If it's only The Oregonian and local Seattle media, I wouldn't. Valereee (talk) 20:53, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand – if it's a regional source, and the guideline says that sigcov in regional sources is sufficient, why isn't the regional source sufficient? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 20:56, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me this editor is changing their standards as more sources are revealed - Seattle Times is a relatively major paper - from Wikipedia: "The Seattle Times is a daily newspaper serving Seattle, Washington, United States. It was founded in 1891 and has been owned by the Blethen family since 1896. The Seattle Times has the largest circulation of any newspaper in Washington state and the Pacific Northwest region." - I believe there are multiple cites from this regional source. How is an oregonian paper going to comment on a Seattle coffee shop?! LegalSmeagolian (talk) 21:02, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's pretty reasonable to say that, in this case, The Seattle Times is acting in its capacity as a local source, not a regional one. But right now, I'm asking Valereee about how she sees regional sourcing in terms of notability. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:07, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
tlc, ugh, Portland. Typing faster than my brain works.

In general regional coverage of a restaurant that is outside that regional media's primary audience is fairly convincing to me. So for the NYT, while Buffalo is in its region, actual significant coverage of a Buffalo restaurant is something I'd find reasonably supporting notability, more so than say the Buffalo News. Of a restaurant in Cleveland, though, not even a question. Sigcov supports notability. Valereee (talk) 21:30, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so we're saying basically the same thing – The Seattle Times is a publication with regional reach, but these sources are best treated as local due to the scope and focus. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 21:34, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Would coverage of the restaurant by Bizarre Foods America count as national coverage? I guess that gets into reliability issues. LegalSmeagolian (talk) 21:36, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted a few more sources on the talk page re: Zimmern. User:Oaktree b might be interested in TV coverage, based on some previous AfD discussions lately. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:41, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@LegalSmeagolian: Yes, but it would be disqualified as a niche, non-leading trade publication. I think what NCORP is trying to get across is that someone has to care who wouldn't normally have a reason to. Yeah, an existing coffee shop is gonna get coverage being a coffee shop in Seattle (from people who relentlessly cover coffee shops or Seattle), so NCORP sets the bar a bit higher than that. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think someone has to care who wouldn't normally is exactly right: in this case, we need at least two independent RSes who don't routinely cover Seattle coffee shops. Levivich (talk) 22:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Does not meet CORP; most mentions are trivial. Does not appear to have won any Michelin stars or Zagat reviews, is simply a business going about their daily routine, not unlike any other coffee chain. Oaktree b (talk) 21:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:NCORP - there are now 65 references in the article, but notability does not appear supported by the WP:REFCLUTTER. Sources in the article include examples of trivial coverage that lack sufficient depth to support notability per WP:CORPDEPTH, such as inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists, e.g. [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57], [58], [59]; another example is the expansions, acquisitions, mergers, sale, or closure of the business, e.g. [60], [61], [62], [63], [64], [65], [66] [67]; another example is brief mentions with quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, e.g. [68], [69], [70], [71], [72], [73], [74]. These sources do not provide significant coverage of the company itself and per WP:SIRS, Individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other. Other sources do not appear to have WP:ORGIND, e.g. New South Lake Union Coffee Shop Wants to Connect Tech Workers, Homeless and Everyone in Between (Seattle Magazine, 2017) is a brief article based on what owner Sebastian Simsch says about opening a new location, and Local roasters brew for you at Seattle Coffee Works (Seattle P-I, 2011) is brief article based on what Simsch says about opening the business. If there are sources to support notability per WP:NCORP, these would be helpful to add to this discussion, because I have not been able to find them. Beccaynr (talk) 04:25, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is the source analysis from my comment that was moved to the Talk page of this discussion: The 2012 episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern does not seem to be referred to as significant coverage of the company itself, per WP:CORPDEPTH, by sources in the article e.g. SeattleMet "His other Seattle stops included Seattle Coffee Works, Vashon Island’s Sea Breeze Farm, FareStart, and Maneki. It will be interesting to see which local favorites get screen time, and in what proportions."; Seattle Eater "Here is a video of Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern recapping his top five experiences in Seattle. In short order, the list: 5) Coffee(Seattle Coffee Works); 4) Taylor Shellfish Company in Shelton, WA(pulling geoducks out of the sand); 3) Modernist Cuisine Labs("I'm a convert"); 2) Sea Breeze Farm/La Boucherie; and 1) Farestart("what a brilliant full circle system")."; Seattle Eater "The Bizarre Foods host's jam-packed schedule included a shoot at Seattle Coffee Works (where a tipster snapped this photo)".

Keep: AFD shouldn't be the place to build a new article, but based on my hunch that anyplace listed as X in a city known globally for its connoisseurship of X is probably notable, I did a ProQuest search from scratch on this company's name. There were 29 hits ranging from local media, regional newspapers like The Oregonian, to Canadian newspapers, El Norte in Monterrey, Mexico, and Vogue. Here are a representative three sources I found outside of the Pacific Northwest.

"Coffee Culture" Wickens, Stephen. Toronto Star; Toronto, Ont. [Toronto, Ont]. 04 Feb 2010: T.1. – a coffee tourism specialist (yes, that's a thing) points out this entity specifically to represent Seattle's coffee culture
"A tempest in a coffee pot; Starbucks now 'inspired by' playbook of independents" Braganza, Chantal. Toronto Star; Toronto, Ont. [Toronto, Ont]. 29 Dec 2009: B.3. – describes the company as the target of business intel gathering from Starbucks, due to its excellence
"Seattle is the spot for connoisseurs of experience. The contrast of the lush parks, sparkling water and gleaming skyscrapers offers even the most seasoned traveler the chance to enjoy big-city living with an outdoorsy edge." Sarah Dettmer Great Falls Tribune via Arizona Republic; Phoenix, Ariz. [Phoenix, Ariz]. 12 Mar 2017: P.2. – listed as a destination coffee shops for tourists

And just to go above and beyond, CNN actually described this as one of the "best coffee in the world" places; one of just three listed for Seattle (they didn't bother with any other US cities):

"It's International Coffee Day: Here's where to find the best coffee in the world" Wallace, Elizabeth; Reid, Sarah. CNN Wire Service; Atlanta [Atlanta]. 01 Oct 2019.

For me this is sufficient for a "keep" especially when the additional weight of all the other sources already in the article is considered, on top of other local sources not listed here. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:47, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But WP:NCORP#Examples of trivial coverage lists as examples brief or passing mentions, such as: ... in quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, as an example of a type of company or product being discussed and inclusion in lists of similar organizations, particularly in "best of", "top 100", "fastest growing" or similar lists. These four examples you give are literally brief mentions, as an example of a type of company being discussed, as a story source, and in a "best of" list:

Toronto Star 2009: A week before the opening of 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea, the Seattle Times reported that owners of at least two independent shops, Seattle Coffee Works and Victrola Coffee Roasters, spotted Starbucks' employees on research trips lingering in their stores.
Toronto Star 2010: One morning at Seattle Coffee Works, near the market, upon learning that a Canadian was present, a group of sports fans wanted to know about the chances NHL hockey might replace the departed NBA team.
AZ Republic 2017: Best coffee: Resist the urge to walk into a Starbucks. Seattle has several other incredible coffee shops including Seattle Coffee Works, Craftworks Coffee and Seattle Meowtropolitan — the city’s only cat café.
CNN 2019: Top shops: Victrola Coffee Roasters in Capitol Hill, Empire Espresso in Columbia City and Seattle Coffee Works downtown are all solid picks.
Also CNN 2017: Top shops: Victrola Coffee Roasters in Capitol Hill, Empire Espresso in Columbia City and Seattle Coffee Works downtown are all solid picks. (yes, CNN recycles its own copy)
There's also a CNN 2010, but it's just a quote: But small coffee shop owner Sebastian Simsch says it's getting the small details right that's tricky, especially for a company like Starbucks that thinks on a global scale. At the one location of his store Seattle Coffee Works, Simsch roasts his own coffee, chats with customers and picks out furniture that he admits resembles a mismatched living room set.

These are exactly what WP:NCORP#Examples of trivial coverage lists as not meeting NCORP. If these are representative three sources I found, then I don't think you've found any NCORP sources. Levivich (talk) 18:07, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Coffee Culture" ProQuest 439633759 is not significant coverage of the company itself - it begins with quotes from Jackie McCallum at Caffe L'Arte, then comments on Pike Public Market as a tourist attraction, the Sky City restaurant, Oliver's at the Mayflower Hotel, the Cheese Cellar, Beecher's, and The Chocolate Box, before "One morning at Seattle Coffee Works, near the market, upon learning that a Canadian was present, a group of sports fans wanted to know about the chances NHL hockey might replace the departed NBA team." Then it moves on to Tully's, "a tale about Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz", "Starbucks has since bought the fledgling Clover operation", quotes from a tour guide for Savor Seattle, including "she says she's certain there are lots of new ideas and ventures in the works, pointing to Seattle Coffee Works, a collaboration of local roasters, and to small independent shops, which are everywhere throughout Seattle's up-and-coming neighbourhoods." This is not WP:CORPDEPTH.
"A tempest in a coffee pot; Starbucks now 'inspired by' playbook of independents" ProQuest 439635708 is also not significant coverage of the company itself - this source is about Starbucks, and only briefly mentions the company: "A week before the opening of 15th Avenue Coffee and Tea, the Seattle Times reported that owners of at least two independent shops, Seattle Coffee Works and Victrola Coffee Roasters, spotted Starbucks' employees on research trips lingering in their stores." Also not WP:CORPDEPTH.
"Seattle is the spot for connoisseurs of experience." ProQuest 1992496047 - this is also not significant coverage of the company itself - it is a 'best of' list, and the company is only mentioned: "Best Coffee: Resist the urge to walk into a Starbucks. Seattle has many other incredible coffee shops, including Seattle Coffee Works, Craftworks Coffee and Seattle Meowtropolitan — the city's only cat café." This is not WP:CORPDEPTH.
"It's International Coffee Day: Here's where to find the best coffee in the world" ProQuest 2299410862 is similarly trivial coverage that does not support notability - this is a collection of brief 'best of' listings, i.e. "Top shops: Victrola Coffee Roasters in Capitol Hill, Empire Espresso in Columbia City and Seattle Coffee Works downtown are all solid picks." Also not WP:CORPDEPTH.

One of the issues with building an article with trivial mentions such as the examples above is that it then appears to be an advertisement and warrants exclusion per WP:N and WP:NOTADVERT. Beccaynr (talk) 18:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete under WP:NCORP for me too. 82 sources in this article now; the refbombing in this article makes it truly exhausting to review, but what the hell, let's do this. WP:ORGIND failures (refs 1–2, 5, 9, 12, 15–16, 24, 26–27, 30, 33–35, 36, 42, 45–46, 49, 51, 54, 56, 58, 60, 63, 78, 80–82) do not count. "Best of" lists and other listicles (refs 3, 12, 15–16, 46, 61, 67–82) do not count. Non-SIGCOV mentions (refs 4, 6–8, 10, 22, 25–26, 39, 43, 62, 64–66) do not count. Local publications (refs 9, 12–16, 19, 22–23, 26–27, 30–36, 41–42, 45–46, 48–53, 55–56, 58–59, 63) do not count. Being mentioned as a supplementary example in stories about other things (refs 13, 18, 21–23, 28–29, 37–38, 40) does not count. Sources not reliable for things other than their opinion (refs 17, 19, 31) do not count. Inaccessible references (refs 20, 44, 57) could not be evaluated. Unless someone shows SIGCOV in 'em, I say nay. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 23:26, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I see numerous book references for Seattle Coffee Works, and also news articles. The article is well written with images, and NTEMP applies to this now closed business. Our policy is to find ATD or a way to Preserve. Deletion of a well written article about a notable business does not serve the project's goals. Lightburst (talk) 01:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What am I missing? The article you've linked to is, for all intents and purposes, a mere mention-in-passing with absolutely zero information about the company, just a small quote from the owner of Seattle Coffee Works near Pike Place Market. It is neither significant nor in-depth. If you're putting forward sources like this in order to establish notability, you're hurting your case, not helping. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:11, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

you've linked to an article from The Seattle Times, acting as local paper, that doesn't provide any significant coverage of SCW under WP:NCORP. The business is not closed, the prose quality of the article doesn't mean much, and the book sources are all passing mentions. Could you please provide the three sources that don't fail WP:ORGIND, aren't strictly local, aren't listicles, aren't just using it as an example in a broader story, and are reliable source that give significant coverage? Just three. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:17, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't fall for that deletion booby trap: WP:THREE. That is the way folks get articles deleted - demanding three - and WP:THREE is just an essay. Three is not even a requirement for WP:N which is our actual guideline, There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage. theleekycauldron. We have a preponderance of evidence here in my opinion. Lightburst (talk) 01:24, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How about WP:ONE? Levivich (talk) 01:29, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The WP:NCORP guideline discusses WP:MULTSOURCES, e.g. "A single significant independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization. [...] for example, a Bangladeshi women's rights organization from the 1960s might establish notability with just one or two quality sources, while the same is not true for a tech start-up in a major U.S. metropolitan area." And so far, we do not appear to have even one source that can meet the WP:SIRS criteria, which does not permit a preponderance of evidence for supporting notability. This is a local company, and WP:NOTADVERT says these are typically not notable. WP:NCORP is a stricter standard by design, because the guideline, among other things, is meant to address some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion, so trivial coverage and company personnel talking about the company is not enough to support encyclopedic content. Beccaynr (talk) 01:43, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article is way overcited, yes. The company is however locally active, active online with both sales and education/entertainment content, and covered by reliable sources. The article can be improved and judgement cannot be limited to content within it. There are more online and print sources that can be used to improve this article. —¿philoserf? (talk) 13:26, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Philoserf: "Active" doesn't make a company notable. Neither is "covered in RS". Indeed, WP:NCORP is specifically written to impose additional requirements than "it exists" and "it's covered by RS". Can you point to two NCORP sources? Levivich (talk) 14:32, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a commerical enterprise therefore GNG/WP:NCORP guidelines apply which requires references that discuss the topic (ie the *commerical enterprise*) in detail. So things like reviews of the their coffee or articles that simply label the enterprise as "the best coffee shop in the world" don't go anywhere towards establishing notability. WP:SIRS tells us that *each* reference must meet *all* the criteria for establishing notability - we require at least two deep or significant sources containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. Also, in contradiction to some assertions above, the quantity of "coverage" isn't relevant - a million "mentions" or single-sentence descriptions does not meet the criteria. In a nutshell, if this commercial enterprise was truly notable, somebody out there would have written a decent article about it.

In this case, what is really notable is a lack of good faith engagement by the Keep !voters when asked to simply point to two or three sources that in their opinion meets GNG/NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Not many answered, instead calling it a "trap" which is nonsense. One Keep !voter, Bri, responded and provided what they believed were good sources. But Beccanyr correctly pointed out that none meets the criteria. Also, part of Bri's closing argument to justify their !vote Keep was when the additional weight of all the other sources already in the article is considered - but this fails WP:SIRS. For me, having looked at every single source mentioned, none of the sources meet the criteria, topic fails GNG/NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 14:11, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
