  • Delete: The article fails WP:NATHLETE. Members of the Gracie family often have articles created WP:TOOSOON and they end up deleted because, as the nominator mentioned, notability is not inherited. This is another case where the person would have an article created if their last name was different. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:36, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes we should also be careful not to systematically suspect a member of the Gracie family of “inherited notability”. In this case the article fails because he’s at brown belt but he’s still a 4 x world champion and currently #1 ranked brown belt by the IBJJF. Lewolka (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I'm not seeing significant independent coverage of him in reliable sources. He hasn't competed at the highest level of his sport, which is standard for sports notability and specifically required by the martial arts criteria mentioned at WP:MANOTE. He may become notable later, but that requires a WP:CRYSTALBALL and indicates that, at a minimum, it's WP:TOOSOON. Papaursa (talk) 23:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of countries by spoken languages[edit]

List of countries by spoken languages (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)

WP:INDISCRIMINATE WP:OR/WP:SYNTH WP:CROSSCAT, mostly WP:UNSOURCED. It is completely arbitrary to create a list of countries by languages spoken, because 1 person not speaking the majority language is already a "minority". A single city like Brussels already has inhabitants speaking about 100 different native languages, and there's no point in marking these all as "minorities". In addition, CfDs dating as far back as 2019, recently repeatedly confirmed that language family is WP:NONDEFINING. Finally, if the topic of the list is spoken languages (a demographic question), why bother mentioning which languages are official, recognised or protected (a legal question)? This list has no clear topic, tries to be/do multiple things at once, and fails at all of them. Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 19:49, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete let’s just say that basically every language is probably spoken by someone in the US, and it’s impossible to count every language spoken everywhere else because there’s always one random person (or a lot of random people) who speak Splotsylvanian in Florbistan even if it’s not even a top-10 language in Florbistan. Countries by majority languages maybe, but not literally every language spoken by at least x persons. Dronebogus (talk) 21:36, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts exactly. (Well, admittedly I wasn't thinking about Splotsylvanian in Florbistan. But I put the question to a friend of mine: "Should we include "Karakalpakstani" in "Netherlands" if one inhabitant of Amsterdam spoke it?" She: "No. It has to be significant." I: "Ah, but how many people is "significant"?" She: "I don't know." It's just arbitrary.). Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 21:51, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I have not yet formulated an opinion on the merits of this specific article, but I found this on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Academics and educators as part of a batch of five new deletion nominations by the same nominator, all of women academics. This is far out of proportion to the number of articles, or the number of new articles, on women academics. If this nominator is specifically targeting women for deletion, we have a problem. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:10, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    At a glance, the nom's Afd stats [5] doesn't indicate shenanigans, and the noms indicate some WP:BEFORE has been done. I'll AGF at this point. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:02, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @David Eppstein: it looks to me like you're looking at a batch of 5 new AfD nominations, two by US-Verified and three by Chiserc. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:42, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    US-Verified's June 11 afd:s are 1 company, 3 men and 3 women. That doesn't seem redflag-ish. "five new deletion nominations by the same nominator, all of women academics" seems like a misreading. Consider striking that on the pages you wrote it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:55, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    On my talk, Chiserc has admitted to searching through women's categories for articles to delete. The intentions may be good but the effect is discriminatory. —David Eppstein (talk) 13:04, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Please, don't misinterpret what I said. I looked for many categories to sort out potential notability issues. You even blamed for nominations that I didn't do, like this and another one. The active nominations now are 3 women and 2 men academics (and many others). Please, check something more carefully before striking the same message on many pages. Chiserc (talk) 13:27, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    So your above comment ("I have not yet formulated...") was referring to Chiserc, not the nominator/US-Verified? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:27, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I wasn't part of this nomination at all. David Eppstein involved my name on this discussion, and probably another one, and I don't know why he blamed for. I won't continue this discussion here, since it's irrelevant to the topic. Chiserc (talk) 14:58, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Correction: The batch of women academic nominators had two different nominators. Of the two, the one I have been in contact with on my talk (User:Chiserc) appears to be unrepentant about the discriminatory effect caused by searching women's categories for deletion targets. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Paraskoviivka[edit]

Battle of Paraskoviivka (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 followed the news of the battle of Bakhmut since its start. Compared to other neighboring settlements, the fighting at Paraskoviivka was not very notable. Other settlements have had more notable infighting and have been for a longer time in the news: Opytne, Klishchiivka, Krasna Hora, Yahidne, Ivanivske, Khromove...

In simpler words, this engagement is part of the Battle of Bakhmut and in my opinion falls WP:NOTABLE, and should be merged into its parent.

Note that the article was already merged once [7], though there was no formal AfD back then. Super Ψ Dro 18:24, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article seems to be well sourced, (though I have not combed through said sources) so if it is deleted, its content should be merged into the Battle of Bakhmut article. Physeters 21:38, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on redirect, the towns around Bakhmut have all had significant battles, with some like Opytne, Ivanivske, and Klishchiivka all being as fierce if not fiercer than Paraskoviivka. The Bakhmut article summarizes these all well, and the contents of this article fits better in the Bakhmut article than standalone. Jebiguess (talk) 02:14, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Certainly unfortunate on AfC review, but I think it was the correct review. My thorough WP:BEFORE analysis suggests that there is in-depth coverage of him in multiple publications. This coverage includes his current role, as well as his work with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) as its head ([11], [12]). Interestingly, there is also more in-depth coverage about his legal issues, including a major lawsuit filed against him by the AEG. So, clearly a separate article is warranted and this meets WP:GNG.

From what I gathered the game is a shoot 'em up that was originally released on a website as a download and then included later on some Mac magazine cover discs. Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. Sources in the article are: 1) Next Generation magazine review which is a reliable source and can be considered significant coverage. 2) Incredibly Strange Games blog has a review but is an unreliable source.

  • Keep This is a very strange nomination as the lede of the article is one of the dictionary definitions of the word meant to define the article, and there have been very many books published on solitaire games throughout the years. If there's a problem with the article, that can be fixed by editing, but I'm really surprised that this was nominated at all given its notability. SportingFlyer T·C 15:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @SportingFlyer: thanks for your comment. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Misplaced dictionary entries. Regarding your statement very many books published on solitaire games, please could you provide links? The ones I can see which describe multiple versions of "solitaire" all refer to Patience (game). Onceinawhile (talk) 15:29, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Your link says multiple distinct meanings, while this topic is on one specific meaning of the term, and also If the article cannot be renamed, merged, or rewritten into a stub encyclopedia article about a subject, denoted by its title, then it should be deleted. which is not the case here. Books include [23] and [24]. Note those are the first two that came up, I have spent very little time on a source search. SportingFlyer T·C 18:24, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: those links include only card games - i.e. versions of Patience (game), thus proving my point that no sources cover the purported scope of this article. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So you're saying we can only have this article if there's an article that discusses [25] in the same breath as those card games, even though the lede is a valid definition? That's ridiculous. SportingFlyer T·C 20:56, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: Yes, that is a fundamental principal of this encyclopedia: WP:SYNTH (part of WP:OR). The opening of the article here is wrongly suggesting, without a source, that all one-player tabletop games are a genre of games called solitaire. Many traditional one-player tabletop games, such as Jigsaw puzzle, Solo whist, Tangram or Labyrinth (marble game), are not games of solitaire. So perhaps the article is really trying to say that all one-player tabletop games with the word "solitaire" in their names are in fact a genre of games, which is again untrue and also unsourced. The article contravenes WP:OR. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:58, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's just applying the primary definition of the word. See: a game played by one person alone, as a game played with marbles or pegs on a board having hollows or holes. at [26]. SportingFlyer T·C 10:11, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That link is to a dictionary, whilst we are building an encyclopedia. See Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary#Major differences – card solitaire, Mahjong solitaire and peg solitaire are excellent examples of topics which have similar names but should not be grouped together just because of their name.
We would all support an article with the scope of “one player games” or even “one player tabletop games” if we have sources with the same scope, but it would look completely different to this one, and it would not be called Solitaire, as most one-player games do not have that word in their name. The scope of this article is “one player tabletop games with the word solitaire in their common name”, which is not a single subject according to any external source. Onceinawhile (talk) 15:52, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a dictionary entry though - I understand WP:NOTDICT, and this article is distinct. You're trying to claim that the common definition of the term is SYNTH, which is clearly incorrect. SportingFlyer T·C 16:34, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And places like BoardGameGeek use the tag Solo/Solitaire to refer to a "single player game". [27] SportingFlyer T·C 16:41, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No. I am saying that the definition used in the article is SYNTH – i.e. that there is a special genre of “one player tabletop games with the word solitaire in their name”. “Solitaire” is simply French for “solitary person”; the use of the term in the title of the game is completely irrelevant. If you want an article on One-Player Tabletop Games, that is fine. But that is not what this article is. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:40, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
At no point in time does the article say that it's a special "genre" of game. I'm not sure what you think this article is. I think it's pretty clearly on games that the word "solitaire" refers to. SportingFlyer T·C 19:52, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Per WP:WORDISSUBJECT, for an article about the word, we need the word or phrase in and of itself [to pass] Wikipedia's notability criteria as the subject of verifiable coverage by reliable sources. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:54, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Solitaire is a very well known genre of one-player tabletop games, especially cards, but also other types of game. Should definitely not be deleted. Bermicourt (talk) 19:56, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bermicourt: card solitaire, Mahjong solitaire, and Peg solitaire are as much a "genre" of games as writing instrument, musical instrument and surgical instrument are a "genre" of tools. Instrument is a disambiguation page, and so should solitaire be. Onceinawhile (talk) 20:27, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
They're not the same at all. Solitaires are all forms of game played by one person; whereas those instruments have nothing in common apart from the word "instrument". Bermicourt (talk) 15:08, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SportingFlyer’s dictionary.com test disagrees[28]: “a mechanical tool or implement, especially one used for delicate or precision work”. Instrument is a disambiguation page because no external sources other than a dictionary cover this wide range of mostly unrelated topics in one place. Onceinawhile (talk) 15:56, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and move either Solitaire (disambiguation) or Patience (game) here. The definition is made up, i.e. SYNTH. There are card games and there are other types of games (not necessarily "tabletop"), admittedly all with the same general goal of removing cards, tiles, stones, etc. However, none of the sources, as far as I can tell or have been able to find, indicate they are lumped together. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:00, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It's literally part of the definition of the word. [29] a game played by one person alone, as a game played with marbles or pegs on a board having hollows or holes. SportingFlyer T·C 10:09, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SportingFlyer is right. No way is this SYNTH. Here's another definition by American games authors Wood & Goddard in The Complete Book of Games: "Solitaire...properly applies to any game that one player can play alone." Bermicourt (talk) 15:12, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Naughty not to give the full quote: "there are excellent games of Patience for two or more players; but most... are designed for one player… Solitaire...properly applies to any game that one player can play alone." So it is explicitly describing a subset of Patience (game). Nothing to do with Mahjong or peg solitaire. Onceinawhile (talk) 15:41, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The only word missing from my quote is "which" "... Solitaire, which properly applies to any game that one player can play alone." It's a games book and they are referring to any "game", not any "card game". Bermicourt (talk) 20:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The top of the quoted page (p.241) literally says "The Patience or Solitaire Group". They are talking about card games (i.e. Patience). Onceinawhile (talk) 21:08, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's just your assumption. Bermicourt (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Meanwhile here's David Parlett: "By definition, a solitaire is any game for one player..." He goes on to describe subsets played with cards as well as the game of Peg Solitaire. Bermicourt (talk) 21:16, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The title of the book is The Penguin Book of Card Games? Almost all of Parlett's books are about cards. Please could you provide the full quote so we can see how he incorporates Peg Solitaire? Onceinawhile (talk) 21:27, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't believe what I'm reading here. Of course its notable. Anyone who thinks otherwise should have no part in building an encyclopedia. I'm sure there are are some venues that welcome pedantry, but this is not one of them. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:01, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Phil B is merely saying in his view, it's WP:SKYBLUE i.e. obviously notable. Which, frankly, it is. Which is why authors like Roni Bird, in describing a numbers game for two or more players, can say without need for qualification or explanation "this can be played as a solitaire game" i.e. one person can play it. Bermicourt (talk) 12:10, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This is not an encyclopedia article. The lead is just a dictionary definition, the history section only covers card solitaire, the other section serves the same purpose as the disambiguation page, and the article does not even have a well-defined subject, as shown in discussion here. Also, this opinion most certainly does not make me unqualified to write an encyclopedia. QuicoleJR (talk) 13:22, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - solitaire games as a category encompassing the full range of the dictionary definition are discussed in [30] and [1], in addition to the wealth of literature on each individual variety. signed, Rosguill talk 05:12, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Rosguill: thanks for your comment. I just read both links – the letter in Science is explictly describing only card solitaire (and all his footnotes refer only to card solitaire too), and the paper by Sousa and Silva are using the term solitaire as shorthand for the generic term "one-player" ("…our proposal analysed the most popular modern board games with solo game modes"). So neither supports the scope of this article. Onceinawhile (talk) 06:25, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Side discussion[edit]

I have been reflecting on how different editors are not able to understand each other on what is otherwise a simple and uncontroversial topic. I think it is because different editors have different understandings of the scope of this article. There are three options:

Option Scope Comment
1 The word solitaire Not an encyclopedic topic on its own as no wide coverage outside dictionaries
2 All one-player tabletop games An encyclopedic topic. Solitaire likely not the most common name for this scope, as most one-player tabletop games are not commonly called solitaire.
3 All one-player tabletop games with the name solitaire in the title Not an encyclopedia topic on its own, as no known sources with this scope

The current scope is clearly #3, hence my view that it should be deleted. The keep votes seem to believe that the real scope is #2. This would require a rewrite and probably a change of name.

Onceinawhile (talk) 19:13, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This comes across as a little patronising; as if you're pointing out to other editors what they think and also how they should think if only they had your clarity of vision.
As to the table: the statement that solitaire has "no wide coverage outside dictionaries" is patently untrue. Options 2 and 3 are not neutral either, but a reiteration of your points of view above, which are clearly not universally shared. So this is not an "uncontroversial" topic at all, otherwise we would have been able to reach a consensus. Bermicourt (talk) 12:29, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize, but I am disappointed with your approach here. You have made contradictory statements above: "Solitaire is a very well known genre of one-player tabletop games" and a day later "Solitaires are all forms of game played by one person". First you stated #3 above, then you switched to #2. I am trying my best to pin the discussion down so we can reach a consensus. Onceinawhile (talk) 15:59, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is a deletion discussion, i.e. a discussion about whether this title should appear in red or blue. Discussions about article scope belong on the article talk page.

I have not yet formulated an opinion on the merits of this specific article, but I found this on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Academics and educators as part of a batch of five new deletion nominations by the same nominator, all of women academics.

  • Keep. I found and added six book reviews to the article. She now has eight reliably published reviews for two books, enough for WP:AUTHOR for me. One of the books is in graphic-novel format, and there's also some incidental coverage that I didn't add about the choice to format it that way.

WP:OR or WP:HOAX, no reliable source, no Russian or Ukrainian interwiki. Panam2014 (talk) 09:50, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not a hoax. The Bolsheviks formed governments in Ukraine three times.
Paul Robert Magocsi (1996), A History of Ukraine, 1st ed.
  • p 495: . . . November 1917. Soon after, [the Bolsheviks] formed a Soviet Ukrainian government and, with Bolshevik Russian help, drove their erstwhile Rada ally out of Kiev. Their control of the city lasted for only three weeks in February 1918, until the German Army forced them out of Kiev and, shortly after, out of Dnieper Ukraine entirely. . . .
  • p 497: They regrouped in Taganrog, on the shores of the Sea of Azov, where on 18 April they dissolved their own Soviet Ukrainian government and replaced it with a coordinating committee that was to direct the struggle against the German occupier. . . . On 19–20 April 1918, the distinct Communist party (Bolshevik) of Ukraine – (CP(b)U) was established, although it was to become increasingly subordinate to the Russian Communist party.
  • p 497–98: They were in fact already close to the Ukrainian border at Kursk, where on 28 November 1918 they secretly formed a ‘provisional’ Soviet Ukrainian government (Tymchasovyi Robitnychno-Seliansʹkyi Uriad Ukraïny) with the intention of marching into Dnieper Ukraine. . . . The Ukrainian Soviet Republic was Ukrainian in the territorial, not the national sense . . .
I believe this article represents the first part of Ukrainian People's Republic of Soviets. This article could be merged into that one, but these were two separate governments, so there is a case for articles about them. Ultimately, maybe there should be an overview article about the history of Bolshevism in Ukraine, and separate ones for each of the three governments.  —Michael Z. 05:19, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Mzajac: so the name Ukrainian Soviet Republic for the fist government is false. We could have one or two articles about the Bolshevik Republics in Ukraine but we need one article by government. The articles should be rewrited and/or renamed. Panam2014 (talk) 11:27, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don’t know if the name is wrong. Magocsi uses it in the context of the second government, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t used for the first. It seems logical that the first Soviet Ukrainian government was also intended to be a government of Soviet Ukraine, a republic.
Will try to do a bit more research.  —Michael Z. 15:17, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Orest Subtelny (2015), Ukraine: A History, 4th ed., refers to the SUR at the start, and three Ukrainian Soviet governments:
  • p 350: Furious [after the Kyiv congress of December 17, 1917], the small Bolshevik faction abandoned the congress, moved to Kharkiv, denounced the Central Rada as the “enemy of the people,” and proclaimed the creation of the Soviet Ukrainian Republic. At the same time, Bolshevik troops from Russia began the invasion of Ukraine.
  • p 364: After much wavering, Moscow sanctioned the formation of another Ukrainian Soviet government on 20 November 1918.
  • p 365: The second Ukrainian Soviet government lasted about seven months.
  • p 376: Therefore, the formation, on 21 December 1919, of the third Ukrainian Soviet government was accompanied with patriotic rhetoric such as “the free and independent Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic again arises from the dead.”
 —Michael Z. 00:54, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Serhii Plokhy (2015), The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine doesn’t cover the history of the Bolshevik régime in detail for this period, but does mention its start.
  • p 208: The Bolshevik organizers left Kyiv for Kharkiv, where a congress of soviets from the industrial east of the country met in late December. It declared the creation of a new sate, the Ukrainian People’s Republic of Soviets, on December 24, 1917. At the beginning of January 1918, Bolshevik troops from Russia entered Ukraine and moved on Kyiv under the banner of the virtual state proclaimed in Kharkiv, which would eventually become the capital of Soviet Ukraine.
  • p 219: Of all the regimes and armies that fought in Ukraine in 1919, the Bolsheviks left the largest footprint and kept Kyiv in their hands longest—from February to August, and then again in December.
  • p 220: After the defeat of Denikin and the recapture of Kyiv in December 1919, the Bolsheviks decided to learn from their mistakes of the previous year. ¶ Vladimir Lenin himself spelled out the “lesson of 1919” for his followers. According to Lenin, the Bolsheviks had neglected the nationality question. Consequently, the Bolshevik army returned to Ukrain bin late 1919 and early 1920 under the banner of the formally independent Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic and tried to address the Ukrainians in their native language.

    Personally, I am not convinced on the notability of this psychologist, since most articles reflect a limited geographic scope (only Spain). In that sense, a Spanish-language Wikipedia version may be more suitable based on current sources.

There are dozens of scholarly articles and even more web cites discussing this subject at various levels of detail.

    Hi, the argument being made is that Diau does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. That is a lot to read, so I will try to explain the problem myself.
    First off, playing professionally doesn't mean you are entitled to an article. Secondly, just being mentioned in articles isn't enough to prove notability. He needs whole articles about him (he has a few, but most seem to agree they don't provide enough coverage).
    The link your provided in 11 Freunde unfortunately doesn't help. It is an interview, so it is the subject's own words. We need to hear what other people are saying about him.
    Finally, there are thousands or even millions of Wikipedia articles that need to be deleted because they are not notable. Many are nominated every day and this article is just one of them. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 13:58, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dietermueller76 Unfortunately neither is WP:SIGCOV as [42] is a match recap that trivially mentions him twice and [43] is a Q&A interview that has no independent prose. Articles of other footballers who fail WP:GNG should also be taken to AfD. Alvaldi (talk) 14:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is technically the second deletion for this article, but the first was part of a group nomination of a group of rail sidings on the Hanford Site. This is for a different spot, but it isn't quite clear which of the two possibilities out of GNIS it could correspond to. It's possible that the article is conflating the two places since the less likely one (U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Ruth, Washington in Benton County) had a wye and the otherwise more likely one (U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Ruth, Washington in Lewis County) did not, but both of them appear to be otherwise uninhabited rail locations which as a rule we have not held notable. Mangoe (talk) 03:52, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or merge - Article creator here...small wall-of-text coming!
When I began the page I based it as a community under two reasons - GNIS and census documentation. I was unaware of the WP:GNIS issues at the time, nor did I confuse it with the other Ruth in Benton county, and I did not include refs for census sources, as like GNIS, they seem to be rather contentious by some powerful editors here (not dependable, not independent). In a couple of Lewis County history books, Ruth is described as a community (back then...early 20th...one listing approx. 50 people) but nothing else...no expansion or definition of what they meant by "community". I never used those as sources because it was no more than what I found at newspaper archives. Overall, though, it seemed like it qualified to me. Maybe I've watched too many westerns...where there's a train station, there's people. But, ultimately I determined (basing it on the right, right, right words of editor MrX at the Susie, Washington deletion page) that if a place of population existed, it's notable.
Other editors differed and the page has had a slew of changes, bringing it back down to a rail station only. I disagreed with none of it, and still don't, because sourcing and expertise demanded it. I believe there was a community there at one point, but I agree, we gotta find more than a blurb. It has to be labeled a rail/transfer/loading station for now. I don't argue that.
So why, Keep? The place existed. I am a believer that as a repository of knowledge, Wikipedia has a duty to provide access to history whenever it can. Failing to include certain places can cause great harm as it begats a great disservice (especially to smaller areas and communities) by ignoring and intentionally leaving out history. This leads to certain communities and histories being forgotten. To me, that's an anathema to knowledge.
Okay, so how about Merge? Building off my above paragraph, let's not forget about Ruth. We can simply add a subsection to Lewis_County,_Washington#Communities, perhaps titled "Rail stations" or "Ghost rail stations" or "Let's not forget a place that existed". We transfer what is written here (relying on train depot/station experts to rewrite if necessary) and Ruth can be remembered.
The only other option I see would be for someone to create an article, say, "Washington state extinct rail stations" or something of the kind, adding Ruth's info to that.
Ultimately, Ruth, Washington existed. I get it...notability...notability...notability...but I have a long track record stating that placing a harsh rule on small, forgotten areas creates an undue burden that Ruth cannot reach. There is no Wall Street Journal report that I can find...there is no in depth book written by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr...there is no mention of it by Oprah.
But Ruth, Washington existed. We have an opportunity here to make sure it is not forgotten. And if in-depth notability is what is keeping Ruth from being remembered, as Reywas92 would agree (Ha!), it'd be a damn shame. Shortiefourten (talk) 19:33, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think the argument you are making is WP:NOTPAPER and WP:PRESERVE, which sometimes I think is not used enough on Wikipedia. Amongst all the thousands of borderline promo BLPs with three very marginal refs from obscure RS fighting for their prized Wikipedia notability (because Wikipedia is the most important plank of their notability), we do forget that this is an encyclopedia and that as a unique online encyclopedia, we can do things for society that a paper one cannot.

  • Delete I'm stil not sure of the significance of this place, even if article creator's points are valid. Regardless, the subject does not fit WP:NPLACE, and I do not think the article should be given a special waiver of this notability guideline just for article creator's own sentimental value towards the station. I'd be fine to merge this into a list of former communities if such place to put the name can be found as long as it contains all other former/abandoned places in Lewis County like this one.

The result was Withdrawn‎. Many of the proposed sources are just passing mentions, which don't count for notability, but there is probably enough there to justify an article. (non-admin closure) (t · c) buidhe 03:18, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No significant coverage in RS found (the operawire source is basically a quote from a press release) (t · c) buidhe 05:14, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what RS is. I'm a fan of zarzuela. It is a somewhat obscure genre in the United States, both in the classical music circles and the musical theatre circles. The nominations (there were three of them for the show) and one win was an important moment for the genre, but was also barely mentioned in the Washington Post. This soprano has been pushing for more recognition of the genre for years, as well as other classical music in Spanish.

SofiaAmudsen I apologize for the jargon. RS means "reliable sources" that are not closely affiliated with the article subject. In order to keep the article it's necessary to have coverage of Virella in such sources. Unfortunately that can mean that some topics that are obscure or less popular are harder for us to cover.
