To Whom it May Concern

If the embarrassing, ridiculous deletion notice is not immediately removed permanently remove my Wikipedia page. Judd Hamilton 2601:601:D02:2120:F9AB:D435:CBF4:D7E1 (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

As I recently had cause to share my appreciated Wikipedia page I was a bit shocked to see said page is being considered for deletion? Having previously created a Wikipedia article in the early 2000's not knowing doing so may have violated Wikipedia practices said version was deleted. Subsequently I was made aware that a new Judd Hamilton Wikipedia page had been created by whom I'm not aware that to my surprise reasonably accurately chronicled my showbiz career. Having not created the existing page I did manage to edit some areas into a more accurate recollection, simply to keep the information 100% factual. Thus, I can confirm everything currently being stated is absolutely truthful and accurate to the multiple included references.

Accordingly, in respecting the great work Wikipedia contributes to providing uniquely useful information I'm wondering why the current Judd Hamilton page, created by a knowledgeable unknown author, is now being considered for deletion. In this regard, about 1-year ago I realized one of the volunteer Wikipedia editors had taken exception to a Current Activities section I had added to bring the article up to date and a rather contentious written debate ensued. After which said editor arbitrarily removed the Current Activities section as the only section that I personal contributed. I tried to report this contentious debate to the Wikipedia management people but received no reply.

So with this latest possible deletion notice being unexpectedly attached at the top of the page I'm hoping that you may be able to investigate the erroneous contentions once again being made by a volunteer editor. And in doing so help me resolve any misunderstandings relative the article portraying the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. As it currently does with extensive references already included. Simply because my reputation is once again at stake. Also, while at one time I was able to log in to make any needed factual adjustments, I have since lost the log in information.

Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide, Judd Hamilton 2601:601:D02:2120:F9AB:D435:CBF4:D7E1 (talk) 05:20, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As a follow up, the previous contentious volunteer Wikipedia editor was Mako001. Again seriously hoping you can resolve this latest worrying page deletion threat. Best Regards, Judd Hamilton 2601:601:D02:2120:F9AB:D435:CBF4:D7E1 (talk) 06:05, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, Notable subject. Hamilton played an important role in the surf music genre. He worked as an arranger on some surf records that were hits in California and became classics. With regard to the above, the assessment is incorrect. The sources for the discography are from 45cat and discogs. Yes, but that doesn't make the subject non-notable. Those sections just need to improve. The music-trade magazine sources are reliable. The article has also been changed an edited by some people over a period of time and these other edits weren't referenced properly. Karl Twist (talk) 05:08, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where are these sources? They don't come up in a casual news source. Even in the book search its incidental coverage (Judd's wife might be notable as she was a Bond Girl according to one, and the horror articles are the IMBD of the day saying "yes Judd was in this low budget movie" an effective stubb without context.

Note to closing admin - Hi, if by some small chance this item is leaning towards deletion, is it possible that we could have this re-directed to the The T-Bones or Dan Hamilton page please? There's a lot of work done between the two of them. Thanks. Karl Twist (talk) 09:15, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Karl, I appreciate your comments regarding the ridiculous, embarrassing, unwarranted deletion notice that has appeared on my Wikipedia page. As everything stated is factual and true, i.e. I have made sure the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth is stated I am stunned that a deletion notice would appear. Therefore, I have notified one of the volunteer editors if this reputation destroying notice is not immediately removed I want the Judd Hamilton page permanently removed. Having until recently seriously appreciated the I thought good work Wikipedia appears to do in providing useful information, having previously found a so-called editor was removing information I began to seriously question Wikipedias arbitrarily enacted editing process and accordingly my opinion of Wikipedia is fast dwindling into disrespect for the systems arbitrary, anyone can alter and/or have truthfully enacted articles removed. So again thanks for your opinion, hoping this embarrassing deletion notice can be immediately removed to protect my reputation and if not as stated and however it can be done I need the Judd Hamilton page removed. Thanks for any help in this regard, Judd Hamilton 2601:601:D02:2120:F9AB:D435:CBF4:D7E1 (talk) 17:21, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mr. Hamilton, I hope that the page will be saved. I don't think that it should have been nominated for deletion. I'll talk more later. Karl Twist (talk) 07:01, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Thank you Karl. I'm still trying to figure out what the person who installed this deletion notice based their complaint on? Inclusive of the factual information recorded by whomever initially created the page that has always been been appreciated solely relates to the 60's, 70's, into the 80's music, film work I did.

As previously stated, when last year I tried to personally update to the current material science, radiation shielding invention work that occupies my full time efforts that I expressed in a couple of sentences, a volunteer editor Mako001 suddenly appeared forbidding said inclusion as nothing more than self-promotion, removed the Current Activities info, and somehow personally placed a 6-month prohibition for me being able to access Wikipedia should there have needed to be a factual correction or update. A basically anonymous person can make those decisions?

And now as I hit my 81st lap my inventions activities are speeding into increasing attention and as of the past few days whenever anyone places my name in a search engine the first or one of the first articles that appears is the Wikipedia page. With several people thinking, "Judd, is all of this Wikipedia information phony, a lie?" Thus, from a character demeaning point of view I'm still flabbergasted this type of embarrassing situation could even remotely happen when an article is provably and evidentially referenced?

Anyway, I won't go on, again thanks for your hopeful intercession and onward to see what happens or doesn't happen next. Especially as over the years Wikipedia has been one of my main, seriously appreciated raw material research references to which I will always be grateful as said science based info helped me achieve multiple world patents. Which of course according to Mako001's authority said current activity info is forbidden as self-serving, self-promotional nonsense. While most of the records and films I was long ago involved with are still being sold on the Internet? And even though I don't receive anything from whomever sells said material I'm pleasantly amazed projects and records I long ago forgot about have been preserved on the Internet? Hmmm, Judd 2601:601:D02:2120:2D85:C84E:EE00:4AF0 (talk) 09:13, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Follow up comment to my Note to closing admin post, 09:15, 3 January 2023. With a re-direct, the unique history is preserved. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 07:03, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Note to participants: whether or not we have a Wikipedia article is determined based on notability, usually demonstrated by substantive coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. It has nothing to do with the accuracy of what is currently on the page. As things stand very little of the commentary directly impinges on whether we should keep the page.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 18:10, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the Ventures, most stuff about him seems to associate him with the Ventures band [1]. Oaktree b (talk) 00:46, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to Mr. Hamilton. Hello again. I have recorded some of the Wikipedia page in its early stages here - Revision as of 10:48, 16 June 2018 before any other editors had contributed. I'll explain more later about that. Anyway, I stand by my assertion that you are a notable figure as I know a bit about Surf music as well as having an interest in it. In the process of research, I learnt about the contribution both you and your brother Dan had made to the genre. I do believe some editors are a bit heavy-handed and sometimes overlook some things that show an article to be notable in favor of a technicality. Sometimes they view it in a robotic way.
Now I know that just having been married to Caroline Munro, a Hammer girl, Bond girl in the past doesn't make you notable. We know that! But you have made a notable contribution to the music of California and your work in film adds to that!
What could help this along is if you have kept any newspaper or magazine articles that are not accessible via google. I can't recall what it was but some time back a film or actor was said by some Wikipedia editors to be non-notable. Well, digging up some film magazines proved it the case to be otherwise. Then article wasn't deleted.
The alternative to deletion is a redirect and in many cases articles should have been redirected rather than deleted. Sadly, with some the short term and easy solution is all they think of. And sometimes it can be understandable with some when they spend a lot of time editing and are fatigued. Again, I say that your page should be a KEEP but if not, then a redirect to the Dan Hamilton or the T-Bones page would be a solution for now as it would preserve the edit history and then at a later date a discussion can be started to re-open it up with additional info on you to support that. So, magazine clippings with dates and news articles with dates would help. I don't need any convincing that you are notable! Now someone said that " its like this man does not exist!" Well, I can see that you exist (Google), (Bing), and the article in its raw stage here, - Revision as of 10:48, 16 June 2018 shows that. Also this recent article below
* Superstar in a Masquerade, by William Sargent · 2021, ISBN:9781646288960, 1646288963 - Judd Hamilton ... shows that! It shows that you were / are a part of the Californian music history. Without your contribution, the classic "Wax 'em Down".*, * wouldn't have been what it was. Anyway, see what you can dig up. Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 06:20, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this book is published by a vanity press, Page Publishing, and therefore is unlikely to be considered a reliable source. However, I do see that it has been added to the collections of a few libraries, so that's a bit of a plus. Still, self-published materials do not go far in establishing notability. Lamona (talk) 17:05, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can't thank you enough Karl, as I remain flabbergasted in having to defend the factual truth about what I have and haven't done in my bygone 60's, 70's 80's music / film career. Including co-starring in (whatever that means?) and co-producing as couple of the films and the 1980 Sci-Fi Film Awards TV special. All to my continuing amazement appearing and reappearing on the Internet simply by placing Judd Hamilton in a Google search engine. To which one of the depletion commentators insists is not the case to the point he wonders if I actually exist? Hmmmm, okay 'nuff said on that level of negatively motivated critique.

As far as published articles I recently had reason to recheck a 2008 Pipeline magazine article (a London published mag) to which the cover can be viewed by Internet-ing the English Pipeline magazine and in the search section putting in Judd & Danny Hamilton. Quite an extensive interview was published confirming pretty much everything the Wikipedia page relays. An article I just learned I can't share as I'm not logged in and don't know and/or remember how to log in.

On that note, having in the early 2000's been encouraged to create a Wikipedia page and then learning if the principle is also the author that is seriously looked down upon and indeed my personally created page was deleted. And I left it at that until a few years ago I stumbled onto the present, appreciatively authored by whom (?) page. To this day I don't know who provided the present and rather in-depth Wikipedia info. And yes, as is also being critiqued, as the principle with my reputation at stake I have subsequently corrected a few things here and there within the present page simply to make sure everything was factual.

Including as the present page is 40-year old stuff, about a year ago wanting to update with my 21st Century invention based activities and bam once again what I expressed in a couple of sentences as Current Activities was perceived by one of the Wiki editors to be self-promoting BS and deleted. And...., once again I bluntly learned that personal albeit provably factual present day career insertions are seriously frowned on. Even though all the so-called critic had to do was google search Judd Hamilton Inventions to factually confirm what I tried to update. https://patents.justia.com/inventor/judd-hamilton

So again Karl, thank you for bringing a ray of light into this otherwise rather depressing and even more disappointing reputation polluting debate, predicated on 'this guy is so undocumented and unworthy he doesn't even exist'. Sure, maybe I haven't done anything that special while helping more than a few to do so including my beloved brother Dan. And yeah, one day I will no longer exist but as we move into 2023 and given all the stuff that comes up on a Judd Hamilton google search (again to my amazement) not a rational assumption, much less a fair and reasonable conclusion? Okay, Onward to what will be will be.... 2601:601:D02:2120:91FE:4C93:AE86:3738 (talk) 09:31, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who are you Cryogenic Air? Your seriously defaming comments have moved beyond insulting and in fact damaging enough to elicit a defamation action! All you have to do is Google Judd Hamilton to view multiple pages of info. All pretty much reporting the same truth about my 60's, 70's 80's music / film endeavors. With the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth BEING THE FACTUAL TRUTH! So what is your argument meant to accomplish other than insultingly distorting the truth? And within your anonymously disguised attacks why are you being so uninformative and negative?

Bottom-line: Wikipedia management officials please understand; when my name is searched for the most part the first reference that appears is the Wikipedia page. Accordingly, the only reason I'm entering into this insulting deletion debate is to protect my reputation from the embarrassing 'this page is being considered for deletion' notice instigated by anonymous naysayers. While I seriously appreciate the intercession of Karl Twist and those who have actually and factually bothered to investigate what this Cryogenic Air misfit and other anonymous complainers are blatantly and purposefully misrepresenting. Accordingly, please interceded and dismiss this cruel distortion of the easily accessed truth about my 60's, 70's, into the 80's music / film work. 2601:601:D02:2120:A586:BBFD:9F2B:439F (talk) 21:27, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@2601:601:D02:2120:A586:BBFD:9F2B:439F please understand that having a Wikipedia article nominated for deletion is in no way an insult towards your work or creations--it is simply a discussion as to whether a page is notable for Wikipedia.

Quick update Karl, in looking at the early link - Revision as of 10:48, 16 June 2018 - there is a glaring mistake stating I attended Amherst University and became an engineer. Not even remotely true so not sure how that untrue assertion was included in 2018 page, while remaining info seems accurate to the times and present page.

With that update, thanks again for your objectively determined observations and Onward to what will hopefully re: the embarrassing deletion notice be determined honestly and factually. However long ago said factual information has been collaborated via amongst other sources the numerous references at the bottom of the page. With Del Halderman's "The Ventures, Walk Don't Run" book being one of the factually recorded references to The ventures and particularly Bob Bogle mentoring me as a recording artist, record producer.

Leading to bringing Dan down to LA in '63, introducing him to The Ventures and my younger brother composing an instrumental, "Diamond Head", that became Japan's first million-selling single. With The Ventures going on to become the biggest selling instrumental group in recorded history. Just for starters. With the book documenting, again to my amazement, a continuing Hamilton Brothers analog of those early 60's times. Producing The Avantis' "Wax 'Em Down" single and numerous other recording with friends such as Dave Gates, Leon Russell, Danny Whitten, Glen Campbell, and the Wrecking Crew influenced list goes on.

Inclusive, as the Halderman book unfolds, moving The Hamilton into the mid-late 60's The-Bones gig and on into the early 70's and reforming as Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds (later Dennison), leading to the multi-million selling singles "Don't Pull Your Love Out" & "Fallin' in Love". During those times having completed filming "A Talent For Loving" in Spain and road weary, I was living in London and helping Dan and the guys from behind the scenes. Thus, I would Venture to guess not exactly trivial stuff? But who knows as in this chaotic world what's trivial to one human being can also be interesting to another.

Ah, but according to the naysayers that suddenly appeared on New Year's Day out of nowhere, I'm not, nor is anyone featured on Wikipedia, allowed to autobiographically share what we have personally lived and witnessed 'for real'. Thus, the fact that anyone's honor can be anonymously subjected to provably unwarranted, demeaning, public witnessed accusations that seriously dishonor the witnessed truth continues to amaze actually stun me. So...., once again Onward to what will or will not be fairly decided in resolving this attempted reputation destroying matter! 2601:601:D02:2120:A586:BBFD:9F2B:439F (talk) 07:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, but according to the naysayers that suddenly appeared on New Year's Day out of nowhere, I'm not, nor is anyone featured on Wikipedia, allowed to autobiographically share what we have personally lived and witnessed 'for real'.

This is correct, and there's a very good reason: we cannot verify any of that independently. Further, we cannot even verify if you are who you claim to be. While that seems likely in this instance, we don't just add things because someone claims they are true: we rely on third-party, reliable sources, so that our readers can check for their accuracy on their own.

If we did not do that, anyone could use Wikipedia to declare anything, and the site would not be reputable at all. Or they could even pretend to be you, and insert actual defamatory material into the article! So we need to see this information in other sources with a reputation for fact-checking, in order to include that material here. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 16:04, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming the article is kept, if you are interested in providing a WP:LEADIMAGE for this article, tell me on my talk page and I'll try to guide you for the process. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak ~~delete~~Keep I can find only nominal sources. First, the Discogs, IMDB, and 45Cat are not wp:rs, but in any case those only list the records and films and do not provide any biographical information. The three books listed here are all self-published, so those do not support notability. Billboard is a reliable source but I can't tell if any of the recordings charted, which is what we would need. There are mentions, such as the Billboard mention "... has finished his first American International Picture..." but nothing more extensive. If we were to remove the unreliable sources we would be left with very little. I'll swing back by to see if anyone has had more success. Lamona (talk) 02:23, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed to weak keep because of the large number of sources that Karl Twist has found. I think that due to the age of these events/products and the time that has passed, the plethora of mentions could be considered sufficient for GNG. Lamona (talk) 18:46, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Lamona: - Reply to above, Hi I have gotten rid of most of the 45cat and Discogs references. Replaced them with more acceptable refs. In doing so I realized that Judd Hamilton had been a member of three notable surf bands, 2 of which were big. The T-Bones and The Marketts. I should have brought this up earlier, but it slipped my mind I'm ashamed to say. Anyway, I put in a good amount of work to clean up the refs. Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 07:51, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Like the other Delete voters, I'm only seeing casual mentions out of any reliable source, and the "substantial coverage" of the subject required by the GNG out of none. Nor do I support a redirect, per WP:XY -- there's no one target that makes any more sense than any other (his brother's? The T-Bones? Munro's?). Nor am I at all concerned with issues concerning the "honor" of the IP who claims to be the subject -- last I checked, dueling was still illegal in the United States, and "defending" or "protecting" someone's "honor" forms no part of any Wikipedia policy or notability guideline. Perhaps the IP could reflect upon the fact that one of the reasons he's found Wikipedia to be such a useful resource over the years is that we just don't accept hearsay in articles, but rely upon documented facts from reliable, independent, third-party sources.

Mm, I disagree, after reading them: they are exactly casual mentions, or consist of quotes from Hamilton, rather than indepth coverage of him.

We disagree on that, IMO these clearly counts towards WP:N. They may not be enough, but they add to the case for inclusion. "Casual" is not a word I would use.

Yeah, I think with the latest screed -- at the bottom of the page -- a rangeblock on the IP for persistent legal threats is appropriate. Ravenswing 02:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The coverage I am finding is mostly passing mentions or comes from sources that are not considered reliable. I don't see them as being notable enough to have their own standalone article at this point in time.

Comment,. further info to prove notability. Hamilton was a member of two notable groups which prove notability, The Marketts and The T-Bones. (a thank you to User:Gråbergs Gråa Sång for posting the link (at 17:09, 11 January 2023) and taking the time to do research) Also by technicality, Hamilton was an ad-hoch member of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. He was certainly responsible for the early founding of the group. The roots if you like! Also thanks to his post here, I looked at the magazine, Pipeline #77, The Avantis – The T-Bones – The Ventures – all part of the Judd & Danny Hamilton Story. That further proves his contribution to the Surf Music Genre. Karl Twist (talk) 11:07, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

Keep. Meets WP:MUSICBIO as "a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles" (T-Bones, Avantis). There's also his time as a record company A&R man, screenwriting credit and a couple of acting stints documented in WP:RS to establish independent notability beyond the groups he has been associated with. Also agree with Gråbergs Gråa Sång above – you can't expect sources about someone who started his career more than fifty years ago, thirty years before the invention of the WWW, to fall into your lap with a quick Google News search. --Andreas JN 466 11:24, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure more could be found. For example, checking the Newspaper Archive, the Cedar Rapids Gazette, October 25, 1968, has a little article in its Hollywood column on "Pop Singer Judd Hamilton, making his movie debut in Walter Shenson's 'A Talent for Loving', adding that people would hear him "warble three tunes in the sex comedy". This is an RS for a passage currently just sourced to FilmAffinity. Finding those old sources takes time, but I reckon they exist and notability doesn't mind if a source is sixty years old. Andreas JN 466 14:29, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note to Mr. Hamilton. I have posted a message on your User talk:2601:601:D02:2120:A586:BBFD:9F2B:439F page. Best to post any future remarks there or on my talk (User talk:Karl Twist) page. Karl Twist (talk) 13:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

At AfD, there are often excuses for why proper sourcing cannot be found. It's an ongoing fallacy an unfortunate number of people have that such excuses mean that the provisions of WP:V and WP:N should be waived in the subjects' favor. The real answer is "Then an article on the subject cannot be sustained." Ravenswing 17:54, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep meets WP:GNG--not by much, but it's possible to write a policy-compliant biography of the subject based on these sources posted by GGS above: Twilight Zone 1982, Spokesman-Review 1995, Song Hits Magazine 1966, and the little bit from music historian Peter Blecha's 2005 essay. Aside from that, he's had multiple hits that charted (a No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4), and been a member of multiple notable groups, plus he's made notable films, so he's hitting multiple WP:NMUSIC and WP:NCREATIVE criteria--which, alone, wouldn't be enough for me to !vote 'keep', but here we have someone who has demonstrated, verifiable accomplishments in the relevant field that meet multiple WP:SNG criteria, plus enough WP:GNG coverage to be able to write at least a short biography article, plus there is no obvious redirect target because he's been part of multiple notable groups/works. So, per WP:PAGEDECIDE, the best place for the verifiable information about him is in a stand-alone article. A final 'plus': I am confident that a thorough search of historical newspaper archives would turn up more, based on what's already been digitized and posted on the internet. Also, everyone should ignore the now-blocked IP address that claims to be the subject, as we have no way to verify who that really is. Levivich (talk) 18:26, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there's also WP:BLPKINDNESS to consider (and I don't mean stop the afd on the IP:s say-so). Sure, we don't know, but it's not implausible, and the reaction, though not helpful, is understandable and not unique.[5]. But this is probably moot by now. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:41, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, this is me! I may not be as notable as some famous people, but I have had a notable life and have done many things. As a cancer survivor I plan to expand my own legacy and do good for the world. I am currently working on several new projects and I am and have contributed substantially to philanthropy. I am also working on a book called “Entrepreneur: The Incredible Adventure”. I expect my Wikipedia page to be expanded substantially over the next 10 years. I have largely been in semi-retirement, but that is changing and I am involved with several large, potentially world changing events.

I would greatly appreciate it if you would not delete my page. I can provide evidence for everything that is on the page, including original corporate documents, sales documents of various companies and more. Given a bit of time you will have a lot of more relevant current sources. Much of what I have achieved is older, like starting the first ISP in San Antonio Texas. There aren’t brand new articles about it. You CAN find old business journal articles about these things and things like that. But maybe those sources don’t meet your requirements. But they are factual none the less.

Let me know what I can do to help. I can provide a phone number and email address if required for direct communication if that helps.

comment darn nice looking list, and a good amount of work went in to compiling it. But I have to agree that I think this is too much stats-based and not enough article-content based (if that is such a thing). Is it a notable topic? Hmmm... I'm on the fence on that. It is well sourced and I'm confident the subject is discussed among reliable sources over time. But is it suitable for inclusion? The content might be more suitable for an online sports almanac and I suggest that enthusiastic editors try another wiki. Seems to violate WP:NOTSTATS. Is there content that can be created around thosee stats to turn it into an article?--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:24, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We usually keep list articles on leaders in major NFL statistics (and this seems like a major statistic).

Comment A relevant guideline is WP:LISTN:
One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been.

- Where are these sources that show these items are "discussed as a group"? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:38, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  So, I guess that depends on what type of sources we're looking for here. Are we looking for year-by-year discussions, or sources that help to establish completion percentage as a notable statistic? Hey man im josh (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - Neither. We are looking for sources that talk about completion percentage by player in such a league table. There's plenty of "important statistics" out there, but they only really denote meaning as an article if sources talk about the people as a group. We don't require the group listings to be up to date, you can use other sourcing for that, but just having Citations to specific people's percentages isn't good enough. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:47, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Completion percentage records are falling around the NFL
    
    Aljancic: Many reasons why NFL completion percentages have dramatically improved
    
    NFL pass completion percentages soar to historic levels
    
    We need to re-think what a ‘good’ completion percentage is, and other stats

This artist is not unknown. But the subject lacks notability, due to lack of sources. My WP:BEFORE does not reveal that the subject meets WP:GNG (no in-depth coverage), WP:MUSICBIO, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:BASIC (most sources don't contribute to notability). The used sources are really bad, such as the booking agency website and edm.com, which publishes sponsored content (on their website: "In the interest of journalistic integrity we here at EDM.com are committed to the transparency of our business model.

- Thanks. I was aware of those sources when I nominated the article for deletion. They are not useful for establishing notability. First of all, two of those three are not reliable: onthecomeuptv.com is WP:SPS (lacks editorial oversight, anonymous posts, all bylines are "ByOTCUPTV") and possibly sponsored content; consciouselectronic.com's posts are not anonymous but it also lacks editorial oversight and resembles a blog. www.youredm.com while not looking substantially different in terms of editorial oversight is better known and seems to be accepted as a source on Wikipedia. In terms of content, these are announcements of singles and an album, which fails WP:MUSICBIO (Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report ... release information). A combination of lack of reliability and triviality renders a negative verdict on all three sources. The only source which could be considered reliable deals with the subject the least, and is the most terse. To establish notability something from more mainstream outlets is needed; and in-depth coverage, or at least more scattered coverage in reliable sources that imparts significant information equivalent to what we would get from approx. WP:THREE sources each offering in-depth coverage (WP:NBASIC) —Alalch E. 09:00, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's not WP:RS. —Alalch E. 19:21, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I was surprised to see Blackmill here. I clicked on the entry and was even more surprised to see what a poorly written, woefully incomplete article this is. Blackmill is a well known entity: 3 full length albums, and his top song "Let It Be" has almost 37M listens on Spotify (despite being from 2011, before the widespread adoption of Spotify). Matter of fact, his top 5 songs have over 20M listens on Spotify (I know, probably not WP:RS too, but definitely important for GNG)... not to mention constant play throughout radio, internet radio, and concerts throughout the early-mid 2010s. IMHO, this is an article needing expansion and cleanup, not deletion.

I'm not sure what type of sources nominator is expecting, but in the EDM world, Blackmill has gotten a lot of press. Here is one such article: [10]https://www.edmsauce.com/2017/02/20/blackmill-songs/. Another article from a major EDM website: [11]https://edm.com/music-releases/blackmill-first-album-in-ten-years-home. He is the main subject here of a Billboard (a rather big name in music) article: [12]https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/john-edge-blackmill-emerald-city-premiere-7989272/. Another independent article from another major EDM site: [13]https://edmidentity.com/2021/12/27/blackmill-brings-us-home-with-new-album/. Finally, Relentless Beats, another huge player in the EDM world, has given him coverage while espousing his fundamental role in the melodic dubstep genre: [14]. There's more than plenty here for WP:GNG. 50.237.197.242 (talk) 15:26, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's a sad affair in the form of a poorly written woefully incomplete article because the article should never have been created in the first place. Lack of notability on Wikipedia is not a judgement that someone isn't important or that an artist doesn't have listeners, it means precisely that we can't, are unable to, write reasonable encyclopedic content that amounts to something at least resembling an article. When someone thinks that we maybe can (and starts an article), but it turns out that we can't, instead of having a quasi-article that fails the expectations of our readers (like you), we delete, and that's what notability means, and is the purpose which GNG source criteria serve. I listen to a lot of electronic music myself (and the first thing I said when starting this discussion was This artist is not unknown.), but Wikipedia is encyclopedia world, not EDM world, and we need something to source information from, and that something can't be just anything, it needs to be reliable, so that readers, apart from having something to read, are also assured that what they read is reasonably authoritative. User generated content and self-published sources are not considered reliable. The sources which you mention which are already included in the article don't suffice to develop the article further, which comes from the fact that they lack in-depth coverage. The rest of the sources mentioned so far in the discussion are not reliable. Blackmill self-published his albums and other releases, and the coverage he gets is therefore also self-published and highly niche (where are at least reviews of his albums, in any music journalism outlet outside of blogs, Sputnik, and rateyourmusic?), that's just how it works in music.—Alalch E. 17:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Several points of contention/discussion, respectfully: 1) The Billboard.com article is not a "self-published" source. The author Allison Stubblebine is one of their regular authors, and Billboard.com is a major, very reliable music source with a full editorial board (https://www.billboard.com/about-us/). 2) There is absolutely no proof at all that we cannot write reasonable encyclopedic content about this topic. It simply appears nobody has tried. Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, it appears the article was only created on December 31, 2022! And you proposed for it's deletion the same day. Wow. It was barely a few hours old before you tried to delete it. Therefore, it has never even been given a chance to become an article. 3) I'm not sure I follow your logic that "Blackmill self-published his albums and other releases, and the coverage he gets is therefore also self-published". The separate sources independently covering his album are not self-published. Article #6 provided above from EDM.com is written by Nick Yopko. He is the associate editor of EDM.com and not affiliated in any way with Blackmill (https://edm.com/author/nick-yopko). 4) Finally, Blackmill meets multiple criteria for WP:WPMN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles). He satisfies criteria #1, 7, 10, and 11. 50.237.197.242 (talk) 20:14, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

2) I tried. That's why I'm the nominator here. I gave it a chance to become an article when doing WP:BEFORE. I searched the Wikipedia Library as well. I was aware of all the sources that have been mentioned so far, and that have been added to the article, I imagined how I could use them and concluded that a satisfactory article can not be written, seeing how the subject isn't notable. My work involves research and writing, I look at recent changes and see many borderline cases, have accumulated some experience dealing with them, and I can do this in well under an hour, let alone a day.

1&3) Your contentions on these points arise from your not correctly reading what I wrote I'm afraid. When I said in my last comment: The sources which you mention which are already included in the article ..., I was referring to these sources which you just mentioned in the comment which I am now replying to (I will call them sources A). The problem with sources A is that they lack in-depth coverage. I did not refer to sources A as self-published and highly niche, and I only used these attributes to describe The rest of the sources mentioned so far in the discussion (I will call those sources B). Yes Billboard.com is okay, and EDM is usable, as in not a source I would remove from the article, but is far from a good source because it generally publishes sponsored content and does not adhere to journalistic standards. They churn press releases and include some pseudo-review (usually vacuous, as is typical for such borderline music outlets) commentary in them which is always positive in tone. There is no real music criticism. But this isn't even the main point regarding Sources A -- the crucial point is that they do not even approach in-depth coverage.

4) Subject doesn't meet those criteria:

#1: ... multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician ... -- Clearly not the case based on what we've discussed so far.

#7: most prominent representatives of a notable style -- Which notable style? Which reliable source calls him the most prominent representative of any style?

#10: Has performed music for a work of media that is notable. -- Which notable work? Reliable source please.

#11: Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network. -- Simply not true and not present in any source. Regards—Alalch E. 11:26, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A few things here: I feel like an article should be given more than a few hours to thrive before being nominated for deletion. I understand you may feel like you have scoured all internet sources, and are efficient at doing so, and were able to come to a conclusion that no decent article can possibly be developed and therefore it warrants deletion. However, a few of us found sources you were not able to; ie those cited above by Schminnte, Pelmeen10, and myself.

Secondly, to address criteria:

1) The Billboard and EDM.com articles, among many others, certainly qualify as reliable, non-self-published, independent sources and are non-trivial. So category #1 seems to be met. Unless I missed it, there is no evidence in this case that the coverage of Blackmill is sponsored by his camp.
7) Which notable style you ask? Take your pick: Melodic dubstep (as mentioned above. See Alexandra Myer's article in Relentlessbeats again. She's an independent author and one of their regulars, again with no relation to Blackmill). Or Chillstep. Another independent source (not listed before): [15]https://dancingastronaut.com/2019/12/blackmill-returns-with-melodic-dub-offering-in-hand/.
10) He's on the BBC Hustle Soundtrack. [16]https://bpb.opendns.com/a/bbchustle.weebly.com/commercially-available-songs.html. Series 8, Episode 6, to be specific.
11) Blackmill has his own Spotify station. [17]https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1E4vxbqlFLMsTX. Not everybody gets that: It means he's achieved a certain distinction, and recognition for a certain type of sound, that Spotify recommends to listeners who want to hear other music and sounds like him. He was also heavily in play in Pandora stations throughout Europe and North America during his peak - ie early to mid 2010s.

Keep as there is enough significant coverage in reliable sources identified in this discussion such as Billboard, EDM.com, and others so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:25, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to the IP:
1. There are no "many others". AAE page is not an article, it's a listing. Billboard article is not about the subject per se but about a song (which is a collaboration by him and another musician). Significant coverage criterion not met.
2. Melodic dubstep and chillstep are not notable styles (no article, and no prospect of an article). Furthermore, there is no evidence in reliable sources that Blackmill is the most prominent representantive of either of those styles (he certainly isn't)
3. His song was used in one BBC series' episode's soundtrack. I agree that that is interesting but isn't enough to warrant having an article on someone. The series as a whole is notable but an individual episode isn't.
4. This is about Rotation (music), which is a notion in traditional broadcasting: rotation is the repeated airing of a limited playlist of songs on a radio station or satellite radio channel, or music videos on a TV network. This is fundamentally different from streaming services (Spotify and Pandora) and incompatible with how they work.
  BTW, the best and most reliable source I can identify, Dancing Astronaut [18], gives the subject, expressly (while also not writing about him per se, but about a release), a claim of non-notability, calling him an eternally under-the-radar producer. Wikipedia editors need things to be on the radar, not under the radar, to be able to do proper article work. —Alalch E. 10:15, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Ballet Melee[edit]

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

Article about a film, not properly referenced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because it's technically verifiable as existing -- the notability test hinges on evidence of significance, such as notable film awards, documentable box office success, reviews by professional film critics in WP:GNG-worthy media, and on and so forth. But existence is the only notability claim being made here, and the footnotes are the film's own self-published production website, IMDb and a non-notable blog, absolutely none of which are reliable or notability-building sources.
As I can't read Bulgarian, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with Bulgarian language skills can actually find legitimate GNG-worthy media coverage to salvage the article with -- but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt it from having to be referenced considerably better than it is.

This one is admittedly a close call but I don't think the album meets the requirements at WP:SIGCOV for multiple reliable sources that say informative things. The album does have an AllMusic review (already cited) which usually helps for notability around here, but it is brief and does little beyond listing some of the tracks within. I also found a very brief release announcement that mistakenly calls itself a review ([19]), and one blog review ([20]), but that's all. It's a quickie compilation that is now only present in the usual retail listings. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:34, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Caro7200, please provide links instead of just a list of titles. You are correct about Washington Post where there is indeed a review at: ([21]), which I missed the first time.

This is true and perhaps I should've clarified that myself as I don't know how much of an effect it has.

Keep: Appears to be highly cited, including one with over 6300 cites [26]. Seems to be a pretty clear pass of WP:NPROF#c1 even if it is a stub. Curbon7 (talk) 17:50, 15 January 2023 (UTC) [reply]
That is 6300 citations of a short note on a technical issue which led to "Nagelkerke R2" being a standard item in some statistical packages used in epidemiology. If this topic is important, then Nagelkerke is certainly a notable scholar, and there should also be a Wikipedia article on "generalisations of R2 to logistic regression". (There are several competing definitions of R2 in logistic regression; Nagelkerke R2 is used in SPSS, McFadden's R2 in STATA). Apart from this item, his citation pattern is typical for a senior biostatistician working his whole career in medical school, supplying the p-values for research in many parts of medicine and epidemiology. It's highly professional, laudable, and necessary work. But I can think of plenty of biostatisticians with evidently greater and wider impact who are missing from Wikipedia, for instance, Danish biostatistician Niels Keiding (RIP). Citation counts and H indices (age index!) are not everything. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(academics)#Citation_metrics [NB I'm the one who made this proposal, but I'm neutral myself.] [Presently veering toward "Keep"] Richard Gill (talk) 08:15, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Luke Oresti[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Word-for-word copy & paste from Draft:Luke Oresti after an initial move was reverted by User:Simione001. Worth noting that the article was draftified following clear consensus at the previous Oresti AfD. All participants agreed that the subject was a WP:TOOSOON case. This still applies, in my view. Best source I can find is being listed as an unused sub in The Football Sack.

I've done a WP:BEFORE search and can't find any coverage of him from independent sources since the previous discussion, therefore I suggest deleting the mainspace copy and retaining the draftspace version, which contains all of the article history.

Keep as he has already scored and played at professional level. He is notable & has many articles from independent sources. Nzs9 (talk) 10:31, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Playing at professional level is not relevant in terms of notability. Please can you point me to examples of significant coverage in independent sources as you have not used any such references in the article and I was unable to find any when doing my own searches? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not that it really matters in terms of notability but he has not actually played in any professional matches. The two matches he played in the cup were against semi-pro clubs. Simione001 (talk) 21:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please also see WP:SPORTBASIC and WP:GNG, which I forgot to cite in my initial deletion comment. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 12:45, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete nothing seems to have changed from the previous AFD, which had clear consensus that he wasn't notable enough right now. Anyone voting keep needs to demonstrate that the coverage of him now is significantly more than 8 months ago, to prove that the previous AFD is no longer relevant.

Mogilev Free Enterprise Zone[edit]

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

This article was created by a user named "FEZ MOGILEV" which means the username almost matches the name of the article. It is entirely unreferenced. While there are brief, trivial mentions in several books none of these mentions constitute significant coverage that would warrant a standalone article per WP:GEO. Most media coverage is regarding other economic zones, rather than this one. There is an article on special economic zones, and there is simply no need for a stand alone article on individual zones. The article has been tagged for notability for 13 years yet only 400 bites of expansion have been made, and this is pretty much only other editors tagging the article. I cannot locate any significant coverage nor find any appropriate alternatives to deletion, hence I am nominating at AFD. MaxnaCarta (talk) 09:36, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, while I can see coverage such as this and this is not trivial and seems to be independent and secondary, it also seems to more like WP:ROUTINE coverage in the lead up to an election which didn't amount to anything and which did not result in the candidate being further recognised. I can't see anything too recently which asserts notability for this individual, who does appear to fail WP:NPOL. Maybe in future, but for now at least I think WP:TOOSOON.

The coverage of his managerial exploits is entirely routine (interviews and match previews mostly), so falls far short of WP:GNG. If we go back to his playing career, he did play 50+ matches in the Argentine Primera Nacional - which is a league that gets substantial coverage in the Argentine press. That said, I can't locate any significant coverage because there isn't much online from 2004–07. Coverage of the latter part of his career is available but consists of routine stuff like match reports and interviews. There is really nothing available that makes me think this meets any of our notability guidelines. Jogurney (talk) 16:43, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the level of competition matters anymore, if he gets coverage at regional football league coverage then he could still pass GNG.--Ortizesp (talk) 16:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, if a student athlete receives significant coverage in reliable sources, an article about them would meet our guidelines - the obvious problem here is not the level Echeverría manages at, but the clear lack of significant coverage in reliable sources.

Comment. Adequate sources for article do not look to exist. Looking with English language newspapers, the references are are in letters to the editor from the subject only: <<https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2019/09/13/lettersthe-scandal-parliament-holding-government-ransom-refusing/>>, <<https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/top-kapi-rw7s3ptjqcd>>.

The fact established that the subject is a named producer on the notable film mentioned is sourced. The subject's name the New York Times as the producer of the film mentioned in the article: <<https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/04/movies/film-peter-ustinov-in-memed-my-hawk.html>>. The subject's name is all that is mentioned. This does not seem to meet notability guidelines. Google Books results are all to indexes which confirm the fact. The book by the subject mentioned on the page appears self published, with no external references, and is non-notable. The opera mentioned, sourced in the article from <<http://www.jstor.org/stable/957306>> is a non-notable student production at University of London.

The article is currently self promotional. I would happy improve the article, but there are not adequate sources to support notability of the subject. KejwfnNKR (talk) 15:21, 20 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article is an an autobiography as admitted by the subject [44]. It has repeatedly been deleted at the Dutch Wikipedia and the subject is banned there for self promotion and for falsifying sources.

Delete per nominator. If there is an actual claim to notability here (via "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"), it is so buried under unsourced and questionably-sourced promotional waffle that it is almost impossible to discern. Wikipedia is not a platform for unfettered egotism... AndyTheGrump (talk) 09:22, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
DO NOT DELETE The Dutch Arthur Graaff article was published for six years until about 2013 and 'the subject' was not banned for self promotion or falsifying sources. 'Another editor' on the English version was repeatedly corrected over the laast weeks for unjustly using the accusation of fabrication (not the case, unproven) and 'falsifying sources' (not the case, and unproven). It is clear 'the subject' is an important figure in the anti-fascist movement and has gained international recognition.

The article is not an autobiography but a translation of the old Dutch article the existed for over six years, and has been edited by and contributed to by some three dozen Wikipedians. It now features some 60 refs. It is clear that most of the content is therefore proven and sourceable.

The main accuser is a Dutchman who has been stalking Graaff for over 2.5 years, and here uses aliases and false names, such as 'John A Drummond' or simply the IPs 86.95.90.103, or 84.86.115.84 practically all edits are negative, and with unfounded accusations. The first IP edited the article 48 times over the last two weeks, most of which was reverted, and the man behind this IP has written over 70 very negative Dutch articles on Graaff, which led to a formal criminal complaint for libel and slander against this accuser.

Nevertheless, the article seems a bit long. I think about half would be fine.

Webnetprof (talk) 11:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? You have already stated that you are Graaff. And no, Dutch-language Wikipedia article content (whether subsequently deleted or not) is not a reliable source, as far as this Wikipedia is concerned, so who may have contributed to the article there is of absolutely no concern to this discussion. The article is, per English-Wikipedia standards, poorly sourced where it is sourced at all, unambiguously promotional, and full of trivia that only the subject would know about. Or care about. That is what matters. Not some spat you've had elsewhere. AndyTheGrump (talk) 12:07, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete I'm a Dutch user. I know his name and I've cleaned up the article. Graaff gets a lot of flak from opponents in Holland, also active on this WP. In Holland he is a regular item in the news since about 2012.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that you've known Graaff's name for a very long time, given the number of promotional edits to the Graaff biography made by anonymous Dutch IPs. And of course, the ongoing unsuccessful attempts by Graaff to restore his biography to the Dutch-language Wikipedia. Which you seem to have participated in. [45] Read Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry.

Delete as suggested by nom, after having done the entire research anew. The subject is notable under the WP:GNG per WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. By itself that would lead to supporting keep. The problem is that the article is part fact and part fiction. This overlap of fact and fiction runs much deeper than a bit of WP:CLEANUP because of WP:COI.

I agree that there are arguments for a whole new Arthur Graaff article. But... the person behind "Webnetprof" and countless IP addresses will no doubt try to bend such an article in the same direction as the current one. This person, coincidentally the same as the subject, did so on the Dutch variant in the past and does so on the current one.
