Unable to find *any* sources about this firm. Failed CSD. Sole author appears to confuse this firm with another firm named Parnassus Investments. Toddst1 (talk) 22:47, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I also could not locate any reliable source showing that this company even exists. The best I found is a Crunchbase entry which suggests the company might actually be named "P-Parters", but I can't find any RS under that name either. Jfire (talk) 22:57, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I couldn't even confirm that the company exists. "Parnassus Investments" is a real, long-established San Fran investment firm, and quite a few of the searches that come up are referring to Parnassus Investments, not Parnassus Partners: e.g. "Parnassus partners with AMG" is referring to Parnassus Investments' acquisition by Affiliated Managers Group.

Does not meet WP:NASTRO. All coverage appears to be in comprehensive sources, databases, or passing mentions in the literature, with nothing dedicated specifically to this galaxy. Complex/Rational 17:09, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. I agree with some of the nominator's concerns, though as WP:NASTRO criteria 4 states that The object was discovered before 1850, prior to the use of astrophotography or automated technology I am at weak keep. There appears to be a few Google Scholar articles based on a preview version, 1, 2, 3, though I'm unsure whether these are trivial mentions or sources that could be useful towards expanding this stub.

  • Weak Keep per Praemonitus and VickKiang. Double sharp (talk) 10:07, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Per WP:NASTRO#4, articles who subjects are astronomical objects discovered before 1850 are presumed notable. Per WP:N, an article subject is presumed notable if it meets either the general notability guideline... or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (emphasis mine), provided that the subject is not excluded by WP:NOT. I see no WP:NOT-based reason to delete the article, and the article subject clearly passes WP:NASTRO, so it should be kept. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:57, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed draftification. Immediate move to mainspace after being draftified. Fails WP:BIO. References mainly fail WP:RS. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 21:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Neither actors nor film producers are automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist — the notability test for both occupations hinges less on verifying that he exists, and more on the amount of reliable source coverage about him, in sources independent of himself, that can or cannot be shown to demonstrate that his work has made him a subject of third-party coverage and analysis. But the referencing here is entirely to blogs and primary sources that are not support for notability at all, with absolutely no evidence shown of WP:GNG-building coverage about him in reliable sources.

This deletion discussion has been started on the request of an unregistered editor at Talk:Ben Manski#Subject lacks notability. I will place my own comments below. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:26, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • The subject does not pass either WP:PROF or WP:NPOL. As far as the general notability guideline goes I have found plenty of works written by him and interviews with him but have been unable to find enough about him. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Above comments are an accurate summary of that discussion. Reviewing the previous deletion discussion, it was observed that the subject was interviewed in 2004 by a local paper to represent the Green Party's take on presidential candidate John Kerry (Zaleski, Rob (2004). "Green Leader Has Doubts About Kerry".) That citation is insufficient for notability. There was also concern expressed in that prior debate about bad faith nominations against Green Party members. Reviewing the current discussion, the issues raised are unrelated to party affiliation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6230:1e30:8c2:e407:4908:9ffa (talk) 15:33, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for reasons stated above. Subject does not meet notability guidelines and the article is too heavily based on Manski's own work. It reads more like an annotated bibliography of Manski's published writings than an article about Manski himself. M4V3R1CK32 (talk) 18:03, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chloe Duckworth[edit]

Chloe Duckworth (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I've edited this deletion proposal as it originally included an unnecessary COI discussion with evidence. I regret this as it doesn't belong here and retrospectively I think this should be removed. Nonetheless for transparency the unedited original is here. I've only edited my own text.

There is a strong argument for WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY in this article. I don't believe that the subject passes WP:NPROF, WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG in notability. It's true that the subject is a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London (with societal fellowships usually being an indicator of notability on Wikipedia), but I have problems with this instance. This is discussed below with Russ Woodroofe, and for brevity I won't repeat those arguments about FSAs here. You could argue for a case of being WP:TOOSOON.

The Great British Dig is the only notable media in which the subject has been involved. none of the archaeologists involved have their own articles, except for Duckworth. John Henry Phillips does not. Richard Taylor does not. Natasha Billson does not. A submission was made for Billson which was declined. When you Google the name 'Chloe Duckworth', at least for me, the first result is this very article, the second result is the website of a completely different person, a "student-entrepreneur and sophomore at USC studying computational neuroscience".

I'd argue that in this instance Wikipedia is itself enhancing the subject's notability and esteem with an article. Rather than correct approach of using Wikipedia to reflect notability which already exists.

MemoryForgotten (talk) 17:57, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]


  • First of all apologies if this comment is in the wrong place, I haven't done an AFD discussion before. I can confirm that I (Drlmshillito) created this page, my identity on Wikipedia has always been open. I confirm also that I work at the same university as the subject (we are colleagues in the same department), however this is not the reason I created the page and there is no conflict of interest. A check of my history shows clearly that the main thing I do on Wikipedia is create pages for notable female archaeologists and academics. In this case, I created the page as a stub, and the majority of the page was filled out by others. I was suprised by this AFD suggestion as Duckworth is a well known UK TV presenter with a long list of media appearances (including prestigious BBC Expert Women, New Scientist etc), has written a best selling popular book, as well as being a world leading expert in archaeological glass with several authored academic books, is an elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, on the editorial board of the international journal World Archaeology etc. They clearly fit the Wikipedia notability criteria for academics. I note that the user who suggested this AFD is a new account that seems to be created solely for this purpose, and the motive is possibly questionable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drlmshillito (talkcontribs) 19:07, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The created page was not a stub, it contains much of the information that it does now. A significant amount of what has been added was added by ArchaeoAngelGabriel, and I cite WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY on that as above. (Edit: I'll also cite this, the authorship of you and ArchaeoAngelGabriel accounts for 80.2% of the article. Aside from Zakhx150 the others are so insignificant in their edits that the fourth most significant editor of the page is ... me, by flagging it for deletion).
    There is a clear conflict of interest and vested interest if you know the person you are writing about, and you state here that you do. That was not declared in the correct manner (eg on the article's talk page), and arguing as you do here that your identity is open does not pass the Wiki guidelines.
    It can be seen that the references for the article are largely profile pages. You can draw a comparison with Natasha Billson's more extensive references - nonetheless the submission was declined, because they were almost entirely personal profiles in the same way.
    I would argue that your statement that Duckworth is a "well known UK TV presenter with a long list of media appearances" is inaccurate. "Well known" is subjective, I'd argue that her name does not carry much recognisability with the general public, and that the Great British Dig is Duckworth's only media appearance which is actually notable. Again, I'd cite the example of Natasha Billson who has the exact same exposure and notability but had her article declined. The programme itself might be notable but Duckworth herself arguably is not. If you Google the name you might find significant original sources discussing the Great British Dig but not Duckworth individually. You won't find an interview with Duckworth in the Times or the Guardian for instance, even if you might find a review of the show itself. Like I said, potential argument for WP:TOOSOON but I don't think the justification is there yet with only one notable media appearance.
    I'd argue though that any biographical details justified by Duckworth's appearance on the Great British Dig could be put on that article itself. In any case I believe the guidelines are clear and I'll very happily leave that to the admins' discretion, whatever their view is. MemoryForgotten (talk) 19:57, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I know the nominator had good intent, but they should be aware of our WP:OUTING policy. Additionally, whether this is a COI or not has little merit at AfD, where we assess primarily article notability. Any concerns about COIs should thus be handled either at the article talk page or WP:COIN, Curbon7 (talk) 21:35, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Additionally, as a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London ([2]), she appears to pass WP:NPROF#C3. Curbon7 (talk) 21:39, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll keep that in mind, thank you. MemoryForgotten (talk) 21:55, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Curbon7, fellowship in the Society of Antiquaries of London appears to be somewhat conflated with membership. I am skeptical as to whether this is the kind of fellowship that meets WP:NPROF C3. It otherwise looks WP:TOOSOON for WP:NPROF notability for this 2011 PhD. WP:NCREATIVE is plausible, but I did not quickly find reviews of the subjects work for this criterion. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 10:04, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    In my view the Society of Antiquaries of London operates more like an academic private members club, even referring to its ostensible fellows as "members" and offering "affiliate membership" for those who want to pay. That is not exactly something the Royal Society would do. Being an FSA is usually more about who you know than about achievement per se; there are a significant number of FSAs who are early career researchers barely out of their PhDs. If they even have that, a cursory glance at the member's directory (which is public) shows that a significant number are Mr & Ms with just a BA to their name; we aren't talking esteemed professors and you'd be hard pressed to argue that each of them are "notable" by wikipedia's standards. As such you are right in your scepticism that being an FSA is a marker of notability. This is not the Humanities equivalent of the Royal Society as it portrays itself to be. MemoryForgotten (talk) 13:28, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Affiliate membership is not the same as being elected a fellow of the society. It is essentially paying for access to a library. The idea that it somehow undermines the society is peculiar. Richard Nevell (talk) 17:25, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I respectfully disagree. I'm aware of the difference between the forms of membership, nonetheless being an affiliate also includes "Invitations to Regional Fellows Group Meetings". Overall it's not something that would be offered by the Royal Society, where I doubt you could pay a fee of £5/month to sit alongside its membership at meetings. Whether or not that undermines the Society, without picking on individuals you can judge for yourself the standard of its fellows by scanning the list. There are many more of Mr Bob Smith BA FSA who digs trenches for Wessex Archaeology (not an actual person) and Dr Jane Jones PhD FSA who is an assist prof teaching Classics at a backwater university (again not a real person) than there are Barry Cunliffes and Mary Beards.
    It's not the Royal Society. Stepping away from whether or not the subject of this discussion counts as "notable" (I see the argument that she has TV appearances etc), I would question more generally whether being a fellow of this particular society meets the "highly selective" society criteria of WP:NPROF 3 as it was intended. You might end up with articles on some very obscure folk if that's all that's required to be noteworthy. MemoryForgotten (talk) 19:09, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Being an affiliate member is clearly not the same as being as fellow/member. But in any case, I don't feel that being a fellow is sufficient to meet WP:NPROF, but it's a contributing factor in making a case to show notability. -Kj cheetham (talk) 19:29, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This conjectural comparison to the Royal Society is completely spurious. The society makes a clear distinction between fellows and members. Richard Nevell (talk) 19:38, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree there is a distinction made, that was not my point. MemoryForgotten (talk) 19:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Richard Nevell, it looks to me like the most of the members of the society are fellows. It apparently has 3300 fellows in a smallish field in a smallish country; the subject here was nominated a few years after her PhD. I don't think that all of the fellows are necessarily notable. Now, the fellowship doesn't hurt notability, and may contribute slightly (as Kj cheetham says). I suspect that reviews of the books and/or of the program (since she began to contribute) may exist, but I haven't found seen them advanced so far. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:02, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there a problem with the number of 3300? Richard Nevell (talk) 23:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    3300 specifically isn't the problem. The lack of selectivity is. For comparison, the number of IEEE fellows selected in a year is at most 0.1% of the voting membership [3]. (I bring up the IEEE because they are specifically mentioned in WP:NPR C3.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 03:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As per WP:CREATIVE criteria #3, she has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work and that work been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews as she was a presented of The Great British Dig which I think clearly is a significant "collective body of work" CT55555(talk) 11:55, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Ignoring all talk on this page about COI, as we're here to discuss if the subject is notable rather than the state of the article, I'm inclined to agree with CT55555, though not sure how significant it is, hence my !vote is "weak". If consensus ends up being to delete, should consider if something can be merged to The Great British Dig as WP:ATD. -Kj cheetham (talk)

  • The article stated that she is bisexual, but there is no mention of that in the source given, which only says she is a committee member of an Equality and Diversity Group; I have removed the unsupported statement
  • There seems to be no current staff profile for her at Newcastle, although as recently as Sept 2022 she was mentioned in a news item there as Reader
  • The organisation dig4archaeology which she founded has a website (https://www.dig4arch.co.uk/) which my browser says is a security risk

  • Comment. I'd like to see if we can establish a solid NCREATIVE case here via reviews. There are a couple of reviews/similar of the Great British Dig that mention Duckworth [4][5], but I'm a little uncertain of the reliability of those sources. I can't read [6], but it looks like it might be relevant. I found also some reviews of one of her edited volumes [7][8][9], also [10] of another edited volume -- we don't usually take these as seriously as reviews of authored works, but they contribute something.

If, pre-Dig, she wasn't notable for anything except archaeology, then it seems that we've got a WP:NACADEMIC pass there; if she was, then we've got one under WP:GNG.

CT55555(talk) 17:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Glad to confirm that I have no connection to LvivForev. If you're also directing that question to me I have a fairly long but inconsistent history on Wikipedia dating back 17ish years. Initially under a couple of different accounts and also IP editing. I created this account because of needing to be logged in to nominate for deletion. Nonetheless while there's a lot of attention on the page given to my lack of other edits (in this account), I think that it's an unrelated side issue and either the nomination is justified or it isn't. I can see that the consensus is leaning towards keeping and if that's the consensus then I have no argument with that. There's no intent of being underhand, hence following the correct procedure.

  • Weak delete or redirect to Great British Dig, per WP:TOOSOON. For WP:NCREATIVE cases, I'm looking for approximately 2 reviews each of two authored works, or a larger number of reviews of edited volumes. The reliable source reviews I could find of the Great British Dig focus much more on the (probably notable) main host. We have a handful reviews of (co)edited volumes, but overall I'm seeing a reasonably sucessful, but still WP:MILL associate professor in a "book" field. As far as WP:NPROF goes: The citations do not support WP:NPROF C1, and you can see my comments on the society above. The best case for WP:NPROF is via C7 per UndercoverClassicist. I do take the start towards this seriously, but again, although I expect the subject to eventually be notable, it looks WP:TOOSOON to me here. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 17:20, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The reliable source reviews I could find of the Great British Dig focus much more on the (probably notable) main host
    I'm not sure I see what you mean by this. Are you suggesting that reviews of the Great British Dig need to focus primarily on Duckworth to count towards a WP:NCREATIVE case? The criteria for c3 per WP:NCREATIVE is:
    The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)
    As I read that, what matters is:
    a) that the person created or played a major role in co-creating the work; and
    b) that [the] work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
    I don't see any suggestion that those reviews need to have mentioned or focused on the person directly. After all, there are plenty of people who are unquestionably notable for having worked on high-profile projects who would rarely be the focus of a review, or indeed even named in one - screenwriters, producers, composers and so on spring to mind. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 17:33, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    UndercoverClassicist, I'm not looking for WP:SIGCOV of Duckworth in reviews. But I'm seeing reviews that typically focus on Hugh Dennis a great deal; meanwhile, the number of reviews in reliable sources is not so large. I don't think there's enough notability from the show (at least at this time) to justify an article on Duckworth just for being one of a team of archaeologists. I'll make combined notability cases at times, but I'm not seeing one that I like here so far. Are there reviews of the GBD book, beyond the one in the Telegraph? These would make the case clearer. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    For the show, you've got reviews in the Telegraph, the I, the Herald (big north of the border - I think the third most-read paper in Scotland?). Those are three big, respectable national newspapers, so would seem to meet multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, even if we discount the Herald (edited: I originally, incorrectly, wrote I: that review focuses entirely on the show) review for bundling GBD with a few other programmes.
    For the book, you've got the review cited in the article from The Past, which is the website that bundles together a few big print publications - Current Archaeology and Military History Matters being the biggest that I know of. There's another in My Weekly, which again isn't small fry: they've got a circulation of about 62,000. So, again, we've got multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
    So two mass-market works, one co-created, one solo-created, both with multiple independent reviews at a national level. Add to that the academic work: we've got two reviews in big Classical journals for one of her edited volumes already in the article.
    As before, my reading of WP:CREATIVE is that it's the coverage of the work that matters: if the work meets the part of the criteria I labelled as b) above, and the person meets the part I labelled as a) above, the wording the policy says that they are notable. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 18:47, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Another article on the show's activities from the Express: again, national-level coverage of a creative product she's co-created. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    UndercoverClassicist, you've brought me over to a Weak keep. The review in the Telegraph is substantial, once I managed to read it (I had access problems). I'd seen the review/interview in My Weekly, and discounted it as a possibly-unreliable source, but it seems to be ok. This is enough to establish WP:NBOOK for her book, and combined with the coverage of the show (which does tend to mention her only as one of a team of archaeologists) and reviews of her co-edited volumes, I think there's a reasonable WP:NCREATIVE case; possibly with some support from WP:NPROF C7. Note in passing that the Daily Express is generally unreliable, per WP:RSP. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    UndercoverClassicist The application of this criteria seems questionable to me. Can the subject of this article rightfully be credited as a creator of the Great British Dig? I note that all of the examples that wiki cites as creative professionals (authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other) are all people with actual artistic control behind the works they're involved in. They actually created them, and that is to say they are responsible for actually conceptually conceiving the works and then bringing them into life. For instance this category would include a director or a producer (i.e those with creative control) but it would not include an actor. And indeed this is confirmed by actors being categorised as part of Entertainers within WP:NCREATIVE. If a film is not created by an actor, how a 'resident expert' a creator of a tv show they're in? Not only did Duckworth not have a "major role" in creating the show, she did not create it in any sense whatsoever, although she is in it. Its executive producer is Steve Wynne of Strawberry Blond TV and it was commissioned by Tim Hancock; it was they who created the show. (Neither have a wiki page, and incidentally nor does the production company.) It seems that for the argument of Duckworth as a 'creative' to hold, she needs to fit into the category of Entertainer:
    Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, pornographic actors,[12] models, and celebrities:
    Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or
    Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. (Previously #3)
A category for which she would seemingly not qualify. MemoryForgotten (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Russ_Woodroofe I'm curious as to your thoughts on the above. MemoryForgotten (talk) 21:47, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you need to read beyond the shortcut name, they don't need to be the creator, they need to have "played a major role in co-creating". In my analysis, a co-presenter plays a major role in co-creating something. CT55555(talk) 21:57, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think this one's a little bit subjective, since neither WP:NCREATIVE nor WP:NACTOR explicitly use the word 'television presenter' in delineating the people covered by them. The eligibility for WP:NCREATIVE is defined as such:
    Authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers ... and other creative professionals.
    I'd certainly suggest that being a 'resident expert' on a show is far closer to being an author or journalist than to being an actor - you're not just brought on to read someone else's lines, but because you are the source of the expertise behind what those lines should be. Of course, no resident expert has 100% control over what they end up saying, but that's true of any author, director or other creative professional.
    It's probably never going to be verifiable to Wiki's standards how the division of labour for The Great British Dig actually played out, but if someone's role in the show is to provide (and share) expertise, and they are a major part of the show in that capacity, then they should be assumed to have (real, but not unlimited) creative control over their part of it. If there's a reliable source saying that their 'resident experts' are in fact not employed for their expertise, then that could be factored in against that proposition.
    Journalists certainly don't have total creative control over the newspaper, magazine, television show etc. that they are part of, so I'm not sure where the following is coming from:
    They actually created them, and that is to say they are responsible for actually conceptually conceiving the works and bringing them into life
    That definitely doesn't describe, for example, an editor, which is one of the specific named examples on WP:NCREATIVE. I think the standard you are applying here is higher than that written into the policy.
    Even leaving the TV show to one side, though, there are multiple independent reviews of her books, both solo-written and co-written, which opens a WP:NAUTHOR case on a very similar line to the television one. There's also the WP:NACADEMIC case that, by being on the television show, through her writing and through her various media, festival etc. appearances that have spun off from both, she has had a substantial impact outside academia.
    UndercoverClassicist (talk) 22:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    (In the time I spent typing that out, User:CT55555 has put the point far more succinctly.) UndercoverClassicist (talk) 22:01, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "I'd certainly suggest that being a 'resident expert' on a show is far closer to being an author or journalist than to being an actor - you're not just brought on to read someone else's lines, but because you are the source of the expertise behind what those lines should be."
    I'm not so sure, with the Entertainer category including "opinion makers" in particular (Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, pornographic actors, models, and celebrities), I'd argue that the Entertainer fits a resident expert closer than a journalist or an author. While I fully appreciate that you and CT55555 are in agreement here, I see nothing in the category of WP:NCREATIVE that suggests that it isn't as limited and tightly defined as it sounds. As I mentioned before the examples given (authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects) all produce the works they're known for, in a way that would not include actors, presenters, talking heads, panelists. The latter are "the talent" who appear in the work but did not actually produce or create it. You may by all means see me as wrong but there's nothing in the guidelines which counts a presenter as a creative. MemoryForgotten (talk) 22:18, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Furthermore the sub definition of 'creative', I believe matches this definition of strictly 'someone who produces' exactly.
    'The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors; or
    The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique; or
    The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series); or
    The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
    Whereas the sub definition of 'entertainer' I believe fits the role of a 'tv expert' or presenter more accurately:
    Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or
    Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. (Previously #3)''' MemoryForgotten (talk) 22:24, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you've got necessity and sufficiency mixed up here - you're certainly right that an auteur with total creative control over their product fits that description, but that definitely isn't the only way to meet it. It would also be highly unusual in English to categorise resident experts and presenters of non-fiction programmes along with actors. It might help if you could provide an example where the WP:NACTOR policy has been applied in a similar case before?
    ...I see nothing in the category of WP:NCREATIVE that suggests that it isn't... [emphasis mine]
    I'm not sure that line of reasoning is valid: if we're going to say that the policy has certain restrictions (such as that the person has to have led and/or conceptualised the project with which they are involved, which sounds like what you are suggesting), we need to find something in the policy that says as much. It isn't good enough to say that someone who met this additional restriction would also meet the policy as written, which is where I think your argument above has, perhaps inadvertently, ended up. UndercoverClassicist (talk) 22:49, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @MemoryForgotten: you asked for my take. The subject is listed as a single author on the book associated with the show, and there appear on a second look to be enough reviews to make it a notable book. Combined with lots of other work with some level of impact (being a member of the archaeological team on the show, the reviewed edited volumes), I think it's (weakly) enough. I believe that the application of WP:NAUTHOR and/or WP:NCREATIVE is generally consistent with practice at past deletion discussions on academics in book fields. The persistence of coverage over time and the edited volumes keep this from being a WP:BLP1E situation. Meanwhile, you've made 32 edits related to this AfD, and no other edits. Perhaps it is time to find another area to work on? Russ Woodroofe (talk) 22:56, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    In the context of everyone here other than you, the nominator, agreeing to keep, I'm going to duck out here, confident that who ever closes this can see the same consensus that I can see right now. CT55555(talk) 02:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commissioners of states in Nigeria are neither elected local officials nor unelected candidates. They are members of the executive council. In Nigeria, "elected local official" would mean local government chairmen. "Unelected candidate" would mean a candidate who runs for a political office but is not elected. States of Nigeria commissioners are members of the executive council. "Executive arm" is one of the three arms of government. The other two arms are legislative and judicial. The governor, its deputy, and commissioners form the "executive arms," legislators (or members of parliaments) form the legislative arms, and judges of high courts and other courts form the judicial arms.
Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability. doesn't apply to commissioners in countries where they have the level of power. Shoerack (talk) 19:54, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The term appears to be a wiki-invention, not used in any sources outside Wikipedia and its forks. It fails WP:OR and WP:GNG. If this was to be considered a list, it would fail WP:LISTN. Lastly, by linking to some companies providing some valuation servies, this is possibly promotional (and heavily relies on WP:PRIMARY sources). Because no source actually covers this concept, I am afraid merger doesn't make sense. Previous AfD noted that the topic is discussed in one source (although apparently under a different, unspecificed name). If such, we should identify such a name and add a section to Collecting. The mess here is unfortunately WP:TNTable. PS. In the context I am somewhat familiar with, i.e. CCGs, the term used is price guide, and that apparently redirects to a short section Collecting#Value_of_collected_items. So the concept won't be lost from Wikipedia - we just need to clean up this poorly written fork/OR. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:55, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This kind of index is common in financial circles and doing a search on only the HAGERTY collector car indices I found some references that could be have some use for the article, [11] [12] and [13]. The references do show that the indices are used outside wiki. Would a rewrite and a possible name change fix the page's issues?
KeepItGoingForward (talk) 23:12, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is possible some of these indices have stand-alone notability. I'd suggest considering splitting and stubbing any that are, if you find sufficient sources for that (and linking them from collecting#value section).

My suggestion is to rename the page to, "Collectors market indices" and have a list of the notable indices with their description. KeepItGoingForward (talk) 09:52, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The term might be used in The Handbook of Alternative Assets, but it's the only work that pops up in my BEFORE. So we have so far found one source where the concept might be discussed. This is still not at the level of meeting GNG, I am afraid. So far I stand by my view that the best WP:ATD is a redirect to the Collecting article, as I mentioned in my OP.

  • Comment. Given lack of participation, I'll ping editors who participated in the first AfD: User:GermanJoe, User:Spinningspark. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:14, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Thanks for the ping. I haven't changed my position since the last AFD. First of all, the nom is mistaken on one point. A market index is not the same as a price guide. It is an economic indicator analogous to a stock market index but for a particular asset, in our case, a particular collectible. I don't think we should get hung up on the lack of a collective name for these indices in sources. I would view the title as descriptive rather than a term of art. The fact that The Handbook of Alternative Assets has gathered together many of these indices in one book (including most that are in our article) is enough to justify a list article on Wikipedia in my opinion. And that's how we should be treating this page – as a list-plus page rather than a full article.
I don't think that the suggestion of breaking out the notable indices into separate articles has anything going for it. I doubt that any of them are notable enough for a stand-alone page. For instance, The Compleat Collector has non-trivial coverage of "Market Bradex" (a market index for collectible plates), but it's not enough to build an article. However, there is more than enough information out there to collectively build a page on these indices. And by the way, the Bradex is currently missing from the page. SpinningSpark 11:06, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm getting better results using "collectible market index" as a search term (which would also make a better title). It turned up this magazine article which definitely discusses these market indices as a group. It also found "The mathematics of building a stamp imdex", a substantial piece on creating a market index from the book Collectible Investments for the High Net Worth Investor. While that may sound overly specific, the treatment is quite general and is based on techniques used in earlier work by other researchers on house price indices. Adding some of that to the article would definitely make it article-like rather than list-like. SpinningSpark 11:36, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    It is on page 9 of the PDF. The number is under the second column, not the first.

  • Keep. I reviewed the sources in the article, and I just do not agree that all of these sources are just WP:ROUTINE garbage. I'm not going to do a complete source analysis, but if anyone looks at these, I think they'll come to the same conclusion. We have a heroes list of sources including NPR, WSJ, NYT, Business Insider and Boston Globe. We have a bunch of other sources that sometimes have press release type coverage, such as Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, BizJournals, TechCrunch. Most of this I could unfortunately see only bits and pieces because of paywalls, but of those I could get into, I saw significant coverage, not routine press releases.

  • Comment - Per WP:ORGCRIT, the WP:NCORP guideline is meant to address some of the common issues with abusing Wikipedia for advertising and promotion, and WP:SIRS says Individual sources must be evaluated separately and independently of each other, so this is a review of sources:
  • Notaries Are Starting To Put Down The Stamp And Pick Up A Webcam (NPR, 2017) - includes a quote from "Adam Pase, co-founder of Notarize, one of the companies that remotely connects signers and notaries", "Pase, with the company Notarize, says...", and "Pase estimates that Notarize has...". This is not WP:CORPDEPTH because the source is about a general topic where the company is an example of a type of company or product being discussed with quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources.
  • Mortgage Closings Just Took a Big Step Into the Digital Age (WSJ, 2017) - I can access this article via ProQuest 1927183189 and this also appears to fail WP:CORPDEPTH because it is an announcement of a a product line launch, with quotes from related parties at Freddie Mac and Notarize and this description of the company: The transaction was made possible by digital technology created by Arlington, Va.-based Notarize, an online notary service, that bridges all necessary parties to the transaction. Other companies have developed similar technology as well as a brief description of the online closing process.
  • A Will Without Ink and Paper (NYT, 2019) - is about online wills generally, and mentions Trust & Will, an online start-up, helps people create fully digital wills and trust documents in Nevada and Indiana and is ready to roll out its service as other states pass legislation. It has teamed up with Notarize.com, a platform that provides legal virtual notarization for real estate and legal documents and The Notarize platform requires a valid federal ID, which Ms. DiChello said was not enough in addition to quotes from "Patrick Kinsel, chief executive of Notarize", so this also appears to lack WP:CORPDEPTH, and revision appears to be needed to help the article conform to information in the source.
  • Covid-19 Pandemic Boosts Startups Behind Virtual Showings (WSJ, 2020) is also available via ProQuest 2454373741, and it is not about Notarize, although it mentions: Camber Creek has invested in more than two dozen startups. They include Notarize Inc., a firm that enables home buyers and sellers to use the internet to remotely notarize documents involved in sales, refinancings and other legal matters. In July, when Notarize announced a new $35 million funding round, it said its business had increased 400% since March, when the pandemic was declared which is not WP:CORPDEPTH because this is trivial coverage of an acquisition, capital transaction, and financial results.
  • For some employees, it’s now ‘Work From Anywhere’ (Boston Globe, 2020) - this is not WP:CORPDEPTH because the brief mentions of the company are Pat Kinsel, CEO of online notary service Notarize, said..., (Notarize saw a 600 percent increase in business as the pandemic caused many people to look for alternatives to in-person services), Some Notarize workers who previously commuted to the Boston have since moved out of Massachusetts ― some only temporarily ― to states such as Indiana, Florida, and New Hampshire and Kinsel said - it is another source presenting the company as an example of a type of company or product being discussed with quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources.
  • Video shows 'USPS whistleblower' was not alone when swearing to affidavit alleging mail-in ballot fraud (Business Insider, 2020) - this source only mentions the company obliquely, by including a link to the company website in the phrase "online notary service" in That claim was seemingly legitimized by an affidavit that Hopkins signed, obtained through an online notary service, and later cited in litigation by the Trump campaign, so appears to clearly fail WP:CORPDEPTH.
  • 5 software acquisitions Salesforce’s Slack deal could spur (Fortune, 2020) - this is a list of five cloud business toolmakers that may be ripe for the taking with a one-graf description of the company, and revision appears to be needed to help the article conform to this source. Beyond the minimal depth, this also appears to be trivial coverage because it is inclusion in lists of similar organizations.
  • Next Billion-Dollar Startups: How Notarize Built A $760 Million Business In Online Notaries (Forbes, 2021) - "Nelligan did not respond to requests for comment" and "Kinsel declines to name" in the midst of a source based on Kinsel's quotes detract from the appearance of WP:ORGIND. This source is used in the article to document a non-notable [award] received by the organization.
  • Notarize raises $130M, tripling valuation on the back of 600% YoY revenue growth (TechCrunch, Mar. 25 2021) - See also Notarize Announces $130M in Funding to Fuel Growth and Fully Digitize Life’s Most Important Transactions (BusinessWire, Mar. 25, 2021) for the same and similar dependent content regurgitated by TechCrunch. This is also trivial coverage because it is an announcement of a capital transaction and annual financial results.
  • Notarize's Startup Story: A Botched Twitter Stock Transaction and a Broken Leg (BostInno, The Business Journals, 2016) is a product of American City Business Journals which describes itself as ACBJ offers business leaders many avenues for making connections and gives them a competitive edge locally, regionally and nationally. ACBJ is the premier media solutions platform for companies that target business decision-makers, and the source is based on quotes from Kinsel and "a news release" so it further appears to lack WP:ORGIND, beyond the questionable independence of the publication generally.
  • Need a Document Notarized? There's an App for That. (Entrepreneur, 2016) - this brief source links to a press release, and is trivial coverage of an announcement of a product line launch.
The remaining sources in the article appear to be of low quality and similarly lack WP:CORPDEPTH to support notability. Some search results are complicated by hits to sources using the word "notarize" but with regard to the company, there appear to be further press releases, announcements, trivial coverage, and low-quality sources. Based on the sources I have reviewed and WP:PROMO, delete seems appropriate for this article. Beccaynr (talk) 22:55, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The extensive source analysis above has been done with several misunderstandings about notability policy. WP:NCORP requires significant coverage in reliable sources, which is shown here. Good sources don't get rejected just because someone tries to dissect them by making assumptions about the source of the coverage. If you dislike the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Business Insider, Boston GLobe and other perennial reliable business sources, you can always bring it up at the reliable sources noticeboard. This was previously a no consensus and there has only been more coverage of the company since then, including in TechCrunch and Boston Business Journal. Aptshackhouse (talk) 03:37, 4 January 2023 (UTC) Aptshackhouse (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • No. That is absolutely incorrect and shows a complete lack of understanding of consensus and policy particularly WP:NCORP. You've completely decided to subvert NCORP for you own needs which breaks the Terms of Use. User is a WP:SPA and a likely COI. Those two references fails WP:CORPDEPTH as routine employment news. scope_creepTalk 09:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll add some. First, there's a difference between sources used to support facts/information within an article and those used to establish notability. We use NCORP for the latter and it requires a lot more than "significant coverage in reliable sources". Its a strawman argument to say that sources such as WSJ, Forbes, etc are being rejected because they are not reliable sources. Nobody has done that. NCORP also requires "Independent Content" which includes original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. So, for example, when I look at the BizJournals link (which is accepted as RS), the second sentence starts by saying "A spokesperson for the online document notarization startup said Monday that the company laid off 60 workers last week". It continues to quote the spokesperson and the CEO as well as quoting from previous company announcements. It has absolutely zero content that meets the "Independent Content" requirement as per WP:ORGIND. That is why this source has been rejected for the purposes of establishing notability and perhaps now you can understand why the others have also failed NCORP criteria as per the analysis above.

Was 'no consensus' last time largely because it was bundled with a lot of other rivalry articles, some of which were clearly notable. I still have serious doubts about the notability of this rivalry and whether it actually warrants a stand-alone article. I appreciate that it gets a mention in a Sky Sports quiz. I see it mentioned in IDN Times too but that could well be derived from the Wikipedia article. Searching the alternative name "Roses derby" only comes up with coverage relating to Leeds United F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry. Searches in Google Books and the BNA yielded nothing useful.

Footballer who had brief glimpses of a professional career but has spent the majority of his career to date in the lower tiers of Cypriot football. I was surprised to find some coverage of him but, upon further analysis, none of it seems to actually meet requirements. See WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.

Google News has zero hits, which is a bad sign. I found a passing mention in Kerkida (translated) and also some coverage in 24sports and Sport FM. Both of these articles are copied and pasted from a press release from the club that Koumasis has signed for, so cannot possibly count towards notability. SPORTBASIC says [sources] that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. Famagusta News talks about a Motocross president of the same name but there is no evidence to suggest that these two people are the same. The footballing Koumasis would have been 25 when this article was written and was still playing in the lower tiers of the Cyprus football league system. This 'Zannetos Koumasi' is clearly a different person altogether. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:06, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of notability. Google News in English yields only trivial mentions in youth squad lists. Nothing found when searching through Burmese. Through other Burmese searches, I was able to find The MNL, which is not independent of the subject and only a passing mention. The only other source that I can find is News Eleven, which says that he has a knee injury and will be out for 8 months. I'm not seeing the level of depth for WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG.

Battle of Suakin (1541)[edit]

Battle of Suakin (1541) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The reason I have initiated a deletion discussion for this specific page is WP:OR.

Firstly the name of the page is misleading, this event is described in all in page references as a sacking and not an actual battle, therefore it is original research to refer to this event as a battle since no source refers to it as such.

Moreover, the statement of Portuguese victory in the infobox is unsourced, not only that but there was not any conflict or battle between the Portuguese and the Ottomans whatsoever during this event, in fact sources state that the city was deserted during the sacking so describing this as a “battle” which was a “Portuguese victory” between the Ottomans (who were not present) is most certainly WP:OR.

  • “The Portuguese also later attacked Suakin , in 1541 , when , as Jayne notes , they “ found the city deserted , and burnt it with all the ships in the roadstead ; there was little else for them to do , except to come to blows over the vast quantities of loot they acquired”[1]
  • “On February 20th Estavâo da Gama, leaving the large vessels under Manuel da Gama to await his return, started for Suakin. When D. Christovão da Gama with the advanced guard reached there on Feb. 22nd, he surrounded the island, but found the town already deserted. Suakin struck the Portuguese by its size and apparent prosperity.“[2]

  • Keep. Clearly inappropriate nomination.
A) It's not original research because all the sources the article is based on are exclusively secondary or tertiary, such as the Portuguese navy specialist Saturnino Monteiro, Denvers, Bloss, and Couto.
B) A battle is clearly described in the article and sourced (Relevant paragraph: desembarcou na terra firme hum dia de madrugada, com mil homens repartidos em duas batalhas, huma deo a D. Christóvão, que havia de levar a vanguarda, e o Governador ficou com a outra em guarda da bandeira de Christo. E marchando apressados pera chegarem ao arraial antes de amanhecer, como fizeram, D. Christovão o commetteo com grande determinação, e o entrou com morte e damno de muitos Mouros = "he landed on the mainland one day by dawn, with a thousand men divided in two squadrons, one he gave to D. Cristóvão, who would take the lead, and the Governor led the other guarding the flag of Christ. And marching hurriedly to reach the camp before dawn, as they did, D. Cristóvão committed with great determination, and breached in with the death and damage of many moslems")
C) The user seems to have a problem with the infobox saying "Portuguese victory" but doesn't elaborate on what the alternative should be and why, and has already previously engaged in disruptive editing by simply removing the "result" section from similar articles as this one [23].

I appreciate that this footballer is still quite young, but he doesn't seem to be notable just yet. I have done an extensive WP:BEFORE, which includes an Indonesian source search. Almost all of these hits were mere mentions in a squad list or database profile pages. Likewise, the Google News results only bring up trivial mentions of Aji. The best source was Indosport, which confirms that he is a centre back and has signed a one-year contract but contains nothing else really. I could not find any indication of WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC being met. The latter guideline asks for at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources but I cannot see any way in which this person could have such an article at this time.

This was no-consensus in 2009, and then kept in 2012, but the lead article in the bundled 2012 AfD was deleted at a quieter 2nd AfD 5 years later. The real question here is simple: Is this something people talk about as a set? Not just the concept of live-action media based on video games but, specifically, actors in such media. I see articles about specific subsets of this cohort—Game Informer ("respected" actors), Business Insider ("terrible" movies)—but there does not seem to be any RS interest in the general concept of actors who've played characters who happen to originate from video games. And, importantly, such a list does not appear useful to anyone. This gets 120 views per month. It is not linked from any other articles. Its only recent "improvements" have been a slate of IMDb refs (the only references in the list). As cross-categorization goes, this is both arbitrary and unimportant. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she|they|xe) 10:53, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Musician who meets neither WP:NMUSIC nor WP:GNG. The article has been looking like this for a few years; I cut away a bunch of citation needed tags and unsourced content and looked at the article history to see if it had ever been reliably sourced and/or had any claims to notability. It hasn't. I searched for sources without finding anything in independent and secondary sources other than trivial mentions. Source 1 is about his father, and source 2 is about Stacks dating Brooke Hogan. Source 5 reads "Phyllisia Ross, an up and coming RnB singer from Miami". His music genres in the infobox read "Hip hopR&B", and occupations read "Rapper, singer"? The source did NOT talk about Stacks being a R&B singer at all.

  • This is certainly a nomination that requires an in-depth assessment. Firat News Agency, cited twice in the article, is essentially linked with the PKK and cannot be considered independent coverage. There are multiple academic sources that mention her (28 hits on Google Scholar) but these generally seem to be fleeting mentions that very briefly recap on the manner of her death but don't really discuss her life/legacy in a manner that would be in keeping with WP:SIGCOV. I'm hoping to follow with a more detailed assessment, am leaning delete currently, but am open to evaluating sources if they are presented here. --GGT (talk) 23:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Weak Delete. I would say the citation record actually shows that they aren't highly cited. A h-index of 26 is rather low. There are post-doctorates with similar numbers or higher. Notable professors are often in the 80+ range, though h-index is not always the best measure it is still often used. As a small counter to my point there are several papers that Loran Nordgren is the first author and highly cited on. KeepItGoingForward (talk) 09:28, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    To add on to your first point, his top three most-cited papers were published in 2006, which was when he was a PhD student according to his website. A lot of his highly-cited work was done pre-2007 (when he got his PhD) and in collaboration with other researchers as second or third author.

  • Keep but with some serious cleanup. There needs to be some clear inclusion criteria, like bluelinks only, or must have an actual credit in the movie. For instance, was Spunk the mouse really credited in The Green Mile. Apparently it was only one of 15 mice playing the role of Mr. Jingles, I seriously doubt they were all listed. SpinningSpark 00:43, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename as suggested by Clarityfiend. The real issue is that the name of the current list just sounds overly broad and indiscriminate, when looking at the actual list itself shows that it is really a list of notable animal actors, a topic that has sources demonstrating notability. Agreed that cleanup is needed, though, as it should be limited only to entries that either have their own article or reliable sources to demonstrate that they are a notable example.
