List of secondary schools of Rupandehi district[edit]

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

I am struggling to see how this isn't a violation of WP:NOTDIR as it is literally a directory of every single secondary school in just one out of the 77 districts of Nepal and, if that isn't enough, I'm not seeing WP:LISTN being met either as there is a lack of significant, independent coverage of this particular grouping. I can't find anything to suggest that the secondary schools in this district are a distinctive enough phenomenon to require an exhaustive list of every single one of them. The list itself doesn't seem to meet any of the three purposes listed under WP:LISTPURP either. Similar deletions have taken place with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of high schools in Misiones, Paraguay, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Gombe State and even Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of schools in Venezuela, a list of schools in an entire country rather than just a small district. In my view, List of schools in Nepal is sufficient and we shouldn't be encouraging people to do directory lists for each of the 77 districts.

Keep or merge. I am not persuaded by the nom's LISTN argument. I am no scholar of Rupandehi district matters. But simply on the face of it, the claim that secondary schooling in Rupandehi (or any comparable geographical area) has never received significant independent coverage is an extraordinary one that I have difficulty believing was intended seriously. The precedents cited in the nom strike me as more of a monument to AFD's perpetuation of systemic bias than anything else. That said, there's no obvious reason for this district alone to be split off from the rest of the List of schools in Nepal at this stage in its development, so merging it there seems fine. However, I see no indication that the Nepal list is intended to be restricted to bluelinks (indeed bluelinks seem to be a distinct minority). So if merged, I would advocate merging the entire list. -- Visviva (talk) 23:47, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about the WP:NOTDIR argument that I led with? Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 22:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I don't quite understand it. None of the bullet points under NOTDIR would seem to apply (unless we're going to say that all bare lists are violations of bullet #1, which would be quite a shift). And in general, given encyclopedic subject matter, a comprehensive list is going to be of greater value to the project and the reader than a non-comprehensive one. -- Visviva (talk) 01:56, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDISCRIMINATE is also pertinent here. To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources. Nobody asking for this article to be kept has provided the necessary independent sources to demonstrate this requires a stand-alone article. The content is verifiable through the government source but that alone isn't sufficient. We don't simply create an article just to mirror a drop-down list from a government website.

Keep. Seems to have ample coverage (and also considerable importance). Looks to have been at the center of some significant political controversies in 2019 and 2020. Even the subject of some English-language analysis from journalistic and technical perspectives (although I suspect that the latter "journal" is not an RS) and some very interesting political analysis. One show from the station appears to have given rise to an entire book. Here is a story from RRC about the station's 25th anniversary that contains some interesting background (independence may be an issue for that one, although I'm a bit unclear how closely the different public stations in Romania are related). In sum, although I am ill-placed to evaluate the sources, even with my very poor Romanian search skills there doesn't seem to be any shortage of sources. Unclear why nom considered what appears to be a prominent and fairly controversial station to be "not notable". -- Visviva (talk) 00:57, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The sources there in terms of secondary information about the game are pretty minimal. But it's got Macworld, Touch Arcade, and Android Central coverage, in addition to the Google Play award, which counts for something. There's not really a parent article that would be a suitable merge target. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs ^talk 21:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Touch Arcade is very "I haven't played all of it yet but it looks cool" which is pretty unconvincing to me especially since they apparently didn't bother to revisit it. Getting a few reviews in RS is usually not a massively high bar. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:33, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Article created by an SPA a decade ago, with virtually no non-gnoming work since then.

Weak delete. Cannot find any amount of independent coverage that confirms the significance of this person's collaborative role in the creation of the notable works they've contributed to.

Edit: Vote retracted, my concern is addressed by Mitumial's Eurogamer source below. —siro χ o 21:53, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the only WP:RS that's listed in the article is this one from the Münchner Merkur, a major Bavarian newspaper. Besides that, everything else is cited to a Reddit thread, Lietzau-Schreiber's own website, WP:IMDb, and several MobyGames databases; which, while appearing to be more reliable, I'm not exactly sure grants too much nota-points to him, considering its effectively just an online credits page. Maybe there's more sources for him in German? - Knightoftheswords281 (Talk · Contribs) 22:05, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lietzau is a known games writer and narrative expert in Germany. He has been interviewed several times by Gamestar, a major German games outlet (Example 1 Example 2 3) Example 2 also provides proof for his involvement in the SpellForce series. He has appeared as an expert on various games-related German podcasts, and, more recently, is set to speak at a storytelling panel at HFF (a major German film school) whose expert speakers were selected by Games Bavaria, a government-funded games program. (Link. ) MobyCredits is a reliable source for game credits, but (aside from Example 2 above) his name appears in the credits of SpellForce 3 in the indicated role. Credits

Gamekult, says they are "one of the project leaders". IgelRM (talk) 20:49, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry: all I'm seeing here are passing mentions to Lietzau's participation in a notable game, nothing that shows that he himself is notable. That is my concern here. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 21:08, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By WP:CREATIVE.3 the notability of a work can establish notability of the creators. However, it's especially to do that here hard cross-language. The Gamekult article seems promising but it seems to be partly an interview, which wouldn't necessarily verify the fact that this person was deeply involved in creation? Really tough call here. —siro χ o 21:46, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. As the interviews are coming from Lietzau, I would say that they shouldn't be used to gauge his impact on the project. Would be interested to hear others' thoughts. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 22:06, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Red Dead Redemption 2 and restore redirect per others. The sarcasm in the nomination was probably poor taste, especially if the dog's owners end up reading this discussion, but nevertheless, simply creating an obituary is not a valid reason to have a Wikipedia article, and can lead to significant awkwardness when that runs up against actual policy. The article creator is clearly significantly emotionally invested in this circumstance but that alone cannot cause the rules to be bended, and this is a situation where WP:SUSTAINED applies. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 22:52, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep‎. Well, this discussion has gone on for 5 weeks now and needs to be closed. While there is some support for Redirection, I don't see support for deletion and the majority of editors believe the articles are sourced well enough to Keep. A good point is made about the variance in SIGCOV for historical figures vs. the well-documented modern press coverage on topic of popular interest. Maybe a discussion is called for to supply a more nuanced understanding of GNG for current topics vs. those from centuries long ago before modern media was even conceived much less blanketing our lives. I also think there was some confusion here that this discussion covered two separate articles and while I can see why the nominator combined them, it led to some split opinions which is always trickier for a closer to carry out.

@JoelleJay just to note the AfD is proposed for two people Ingibjorg AND Ragnhildis Olafsdottir, so I think there's two separate discussions to be had. Lajmmoore (talk) 07:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not convinced on Ragnhildis. The Moore source has a passing mention in one clause of one sentence on her; Ellis just says she was the daughter of Olaf of Man and wife of Somerled with no other details on her; Williams says basically the same thing while also mentioning a claim that she was daughter of Ingibjorg. I can't access McDonald, but if it's also just repeating genealogy without any coverage of her then my !vote would be to redirect both articles. JoelleJay (talk) 17:06, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
JoelleJay, Lajmmoore, McDonald is available through the Cambridge University Press section of Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library. TSventon (talk) 17:45, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for Ragnhildis Olafsdottir - I think there's sufficient evidence from sources Moore, Ellis, Williams and Macdonald to show that she is significant in the wider historiography. This article may also be helpful to support this, but I do not have access. (Note: I've not looked in detail at Ingibjörg's article yet.) Lajmmoore (talk) 07:57, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing much in that linked article, I'm afraid. It's basically this sort of thing: "Somerled himself married Ragnhild, a daughter of King Olaf of Man, and through this marriage was the founder of a vigorous family of Hebridean sea-kings." -- asilvering (talk) 19:51, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for Ingibjörg Hakonsdóttir of Orkney (although I'm not anti-keep) - the issue for me is that although the article is well-sourced, the majority of those are primary sources, and secondary sources are required to demonstrate notability. This mentions Ingibjörg in more detail, but in the absence of wider research (a problem with Viking Studies in general) it's difficult to make a more substantive case. I empathise @AvailableViking: as I remember clearly how it feels when you're making your first contributions and things don't work out. Thanks so much for your hard work on these Lajmmoore (talk) 08:30, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect (or merge) somewhere. There is nothing in this article but genealogical information, with which I see no issue over the truth of the content, but she was not separately notable.

Redirect Ingibjörg to Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153); the material may be well sourced, but what's in there is nothing but genealogy, easily incorporated into other articles. We do not address systemic bias in any way by keeping a bare-bones stub; the subject's significance is better presented as part of an article that would gain more views. Keep Ragnhild; while only marginally better, there is a genuinely independent claim to notability there (which could honestly be explained somewhat better), and content that does not easily fit into any of the more clearly notable articles linked.

Comment. Can someone !voting to keep please link the best three pieces of SIGCOV for each? Notability is not inherent or inherited, so it is irrelevant what subnational "noble status" someone had. There is also no consensus anywhere that allows editors to decide an ancient subject "would have had an article in their time" (how does that make any sense!) or even that coverage would have existed. The requirement for an article is the current existence of SIGCOV in IRS, which does not include mentions in genealogies or other coverage exclusively in the context of relatives. I have not seen a single in-depth source here; everything has been trivial mentions or, at best, a few sentences describing a lineage that leads back to the subject(s)--nothing that actually discusses the subject's life.

Strong keep Ragnhildis Olafsdottir, Keep Ingibjörg Hakonsdóttir of Orkney

First, these are those articles that take a lot of research to start - well done, AvailableViking. Someone could write 1000 words of Pokemon stuff in the time it takes to carefully research and write one paragraph of medieval Kingdom of the Isles history. Personally, I prefer the history.

This is material that comes from books, not articles; it's worth considering what "passing mention" means in that context. So many of our articles are referenced using dedicated one or two page modern news articles. A one page news article that mentions a person in passing does not establish notability. Just one page of text in a 500 page history might technically be a passing reference (given its percentage of the book's content) but it's plenty to establish notability and build an article.

So @AvailableViking can you tell us about how much those sources at the bottom of the two articles say about each subject? Ingibjörg's article lists 9 sources, Ragnhildis's lists 6 sources.

Since Ragnhildis Olafsdottir as the wife of Somerled was the "cause of the collapse of the entire kingdom of the Isles" as one historian said, I'd say she was a big deal. The Kingdom of the Isles lasted several centuries and consisted of every island off the coast of Scotland from Man to the Shetlands. See the section about the Somerled era in our Kingdom of the Isles article.

Precedent: about a third our articles on Scandinavian Scottish nobles are as terse as our Ingibjörg article and most do not list 6 or 9 sources at the bottom of the article. Here are some examples; I encourage taking a quick look:

Sumarlidi Sigurdsson, Paul Haakonsson,David Haraldsson, Magnus II, Earl of Orkney, Jón Magnússon, Earl of Orkney, Magnús Jónsson, Earl of Orkney, Máel Muire ingen Amlaíb, Ásbjǫrn skerjablesi, Neit

All are important even if we don't know much interesting detail about their lives. The same is true of Ingibjörg and Ragnhildis.

--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 00:50, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking around some more, I see our article about Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153) has interesting material about Ingibjörg that could be added to our Ingibjorg article. See Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153)#Alliances. Óláfr had two wives; Affraic was his second. These marriages were closely associated with regional power politics and scheming. Ragnhildis gets a mention, too. This material is well-referenced and foot-noted.

A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 01:36, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes i have noticed there was information from Olaf the reds article about this someone just need to transfer the sources, references and information to help add on to Ingibjörg's article. AvailableViking (talk) 02:56, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Going back to Óláfr Guðrøðarson (died 1153)#Alliances at the bottom of that section about the marriage not being official and it coming before Olafs other marriage, that could be added as a section to Ingibjörg's article which would definitely add some more content to the article. AvailableViking (talk) 03:30, 24 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete sources like Niche Gamer aren't just unreliable because of the consensus at WP:VG/S, but by application of the widely accepted policy documented at WP:V. "Base articles on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." RPS would be the only reliable source here, and still not enough coverage to support an article. Shooterwalker (talk) 14:59, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete As I commented above, I put pretty much zero weight on essays such as WP:VG/S or WP:NVG. As far as I can determine, there's no community-endorsed subject-specific notability guideline for video games, so this all reduced to WP:GNG. Of the references currently in the article, #1 and #7 are interviews (and thus non-independent), #2 and #4 are too short for my taste, #5 is a self-published video essay on Youtube and #8 is a store page.
This leaves #3 (a medium-length segment in a longer piece in Superjump), #6 (a medium length piece in Rock Paper Shotgun) and #9 (a medium-length piece in Niche Gamer). I don't see any reason to not count #3 and #6 as contributing towards a WP:GNG pass. While there's no strict community consensus on how many sources are needed to satisfy the multiple requirement of GNG, I believe three is rather commonly accepted as a reasonable threshold. This leaves us with the question of ref #9's reliability. On a surface level, the piece appears to be of sufficient length to not be dismissed instantly, but there appear to be legitimate concerns about the site e.g. stealing content from other websites. I'm also not impressed by the use of what appears to be an anonymous (or rather, pseudonymous) author.
All told, we appear to have two sources that are at least decent, and then a bunch that do not contribute towards GNG. I've always found these kinds of cases rather tricky: two is, technically, multiple. but given that both are relatively short and e.g. metacritic doesn't indicate further reviews are available, I think I fall on the side of a (rather weak) delete.
All that said, I think even more good ref of medium length would turn me towards a keep. -Ljleppan (talk) 16:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I have not investigated the notability of this video game (hence "weak" keep), but, like the better part of two-million other souls, I am subscribed to Super Eyepatch Wolf's YouTube channel. There seems, per my comment here, to be a fair amount of misunderstanding of our sourcing policies and notability guidelines in this instance. Unless it can be demonstrated that SEW was paid to promote this game, then he is, at least in theory, independent enough to be used in the establishment of notability. This article is not a BLP, so there is no inherent prohibition on using self-published sources from public figures who are well-known and generally well-regarded, at least in relation to their own opinions. The only real circumstance in which the self-published status of a source would (in and of itself) be enough to eliminate it as a source for GNG purposes would be where the person who wrote and published the source was directly connected to the subject itself.

Delete: While searching on Wikidata, I couldn't find any viaf associated with this person. Weird for a writer. It's like she never plublished something. Don't seem to have ennough evidence to establish her notability. --Fralambert (talk) 20:17, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This person is clearly an academic writer and is thus notable per Wiki's guidelines about notable persons. I found several pieces of her publications online, like here: https://repository.law.uic.edu/lawreview/vol55/iss1/1/. She is also acknowledged in many independent secondary sources. She has received "a well-known and significant award or honor" and is "notably influential in the world" of animal law. This person also played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work: https://www.eli.org/sites/default/files/book_pdfs/00_animal_law_2nd_ed_front_matter_0.pdf. She is also an amputee lawyer and academic professor: https://cranstononline.com/stories/sa-montanaro,113347.

See this too: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/tort_trial_insurance_practice/publications/tortsource/2020/winter/valuation-companion-animals/?login. The guidelines for notability do not require a viaf and many writers do not have a viaf. We should keep this person, especially because she is the only leg amputee to graduate from the College of the Holy Cross: https://patch.com/rhode-island/northkingstown/challenge-accepted Literaturelife856 (talk) 21:49, 17 June 2023 (UTC) — Literaturelife856 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Which citations fail to show notability? I think that this person is notable. This person is an academic professor, top animal welfare lawyer, writer, and only leg amputee to graduate from the College of the Holy Cross. We should not delete this disabled lawyer.

She needs widespread coverage in reliable sources — not just passing mentions. She has written journal articles, but it doesn't seem that she has projected an influence over the field as a whole (i.e. Steven M. Wise) and her authorship of a few articles is relatively common. Doesn't seem she meets any aspect of WP:ACADEMIC at all from the sources provided. GuardianH (talk) 00:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And I think my mother is notable, but that doesn't mean she is to anyone else other than me. I would recommend reviewing WP:GNG. Notability is established by having significant, in-depth coverage by third party, independent, and reliable sources. Everything you have stated makes her sound like a lovely person, but not particularly notable. - Skipple ☎ 04:05, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Based on sources in the article and my own search, including at the Wikipedia Library, it seems too soon for notability to be sufficiently supported by independent, reliable, and secondary coverage according to the WP:BASIC or WP:AUTHOR guidelines, and similarly, her academic career does not yet appear to have sufficient support according to the WP:NPROF guideline. There is coverage of her early life and education in e.g. Jan 2012 and her poetry in Nov 2012, [12], but I have not found reviews or other secondary coverage of her writing, or substantial secondary coverage of her work as an attorney. The article states she is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation, but this does not appear sufficient to support WP:NPROF#3 (an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association) according to the Foundation bylaws.

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP due to a lack of reliable sourcing. The only sources I could find online for this subject were either connected to the business itself, or were news reports by unreliable websites. The Night Watch (talk) 20:50, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I found several references in French at [[14]]. Also: https://eds.p.ebscohost.com/eds/detail/detail?vid=0&sid=0a677ba5-46e7-4fbc-a2bf-94277a7e85a1%40redis&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWRzLWxpdmUmc2NvcGU9c2l0ZQ%3d%3d#AN=82474827&db=f6h Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What makes those references in French reliable? I don't see any editorial policy page for Maddyness (the top source) Franceinfo appears to host blogs, Ladepenche has neither an editorial policy nor a listed author for its article, and the rest of the articles do not have significant coverage of the company (thus failing WP:CORPDEPTH). The only source that may be reliable and has in-depth coverage is La Tribune, but that is only one source, when multiple are required for GNG.

In addition, @Eastmain can you provide a functioning link to the source(s) you found in Ebscohost? The link doesn't appear to work for me. Thanks, The Night Watch (talk) 22:21, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @The Night Watch: @Amigao: When you aren't sure whether a source is reliable, it is often helpful to read the source's article in Wikipedia, including other language Wikipedias if appropriate. The Ebscohost article is available through Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library. La Dépêche du Midi is a long-established newspaper founded in 1870. You can read about La Dépêche on the French Wikipedia at fr:La Dépêche du Midi. La Tribune is described in its own article in the English Wikipedia at La_Tribune and in French at fr:La_Tribune_(France,_1985). Maddyness is described in a single sentence at fr:Sentier (quartier de Paris): "Le magazine Maddyness spécialiste de l'actualité des startup est également installé dans ce quartier." fr:France_Info_(offre_globale) appears to be part of France's pubic broadcaster. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 05:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Yes, I know to look up the source's Wikipedia articles, otherwise I wouldn't have linked to La Tribune. However, just because a source is the subject of an article article does not mean that it is reliable. Analyzing the article just helps in finding journalists/awards that the source received that may make it reliable. I just raised points above about the editorial policies and authors of many of the sources, and the France Info post itself appears to be a blog according to a paragraph at the bottom of the page. Again, the article for La Dapheche does not list an author, saying that a "Contributor" wrote the article. The Night Watch (talk) 14:01, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  Comment. In regards to the TWL articles that Eastmain mentioned, the first one "90-Day Wonders talks about the product and how it was pitched and produced, and gives only brief mentions regarding the company itself. I am leaning towards saying that it is insufficient to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH, despite it being a reliable source. The other two articles do not even talk about the company or its products at all. The Night Watch (talk) 18:39, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The relevant policy here is WP:NCORP, and WP:SIRS and WP:CORPDEPTH apply in evaluating sources. As per The Night Watch, these sources including the new sources added fail WP:CORPDEPTH. The stated business volumes are not high, and the sources nearly all call this a startup. Even the La Tribune article is brief, although that source might be considered as one source that has sufficient coverage to meet WP:SIRS - but it is alone in that. WP:SIRS says: there must also be multiple such sources to establish notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:43, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP criteria requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *about the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. In plain English, this means that references cannot rely *only* on information provided by the company - such as articles that rely entirely on quotations, press releases, announcements, interviews, website information, etc - even when slightly modified or reworded. Looking at the references and I include the Tribute reference mentioned above, none meet the criteria for establishing notability. The Tribune article relies entirely on information provided by the company and/or the founders and has no in-depth independent/original analysis/opinion/etc about the company.

Book also includes people he taught. Would need input from someone who has access to a library (I don't, but possibly the RX, where I've ordered.) to see the bios here: "Dietrich Unkrodt studied at the Berlin Conservatory from 1952-1955 and was a member of Landeskapelle" (p 28), "Dietrich Unkrodt of the tuba jury displayed musical and instrumental vision which went far beyond the standard limits…He showed an adventurousness and determination to extend the limits of the tuba…" p 44.

Transmaxxing[edit]

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

Does not appear to be notable; not covered in reliable sources. The sources mentioned in the article (none cited inline) are 2 blog posts (one from Glenn Beck), a National Review article (no consensus for general reliability, but almost certainly not sufficient for notability on this subject), and an UnHerd opinion piece. Searching finds nothing else, unsurprisingly. It would need *way* more coverage to warrant anything more than a passing mention in Incel or something similar, and there aren't even sources for that yet.

Delete. I edit conflicted with WK tagging it with {{db-hoax}}, but whether it's speedied or deleted via AfD it's pretty clear it needs to go.

The most accurate article was probably the one published by unheard and even that had some issues.

There is also publications and websites by the community itself such as https://vintologi.com/threads/transmaxxing13-manifesto.1337/

The most notable thing about the transmaxxing community is how much media coverage it got, the actual community is mostly a general MtF community. Vintologi (talk) 09:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser note: There has been some pretty clumsy and stupid sockpuppetry here - Kat the vat and Llamato are quite obviously the same person, and "agreed" with each other. I've struck one of the !votes. Vintologi/Vintologi28 (the second of which has not voted but has edited the article) are also socks of each other - but distinct from the Kat/Llamato pair.

Delete or redirect to Ma'ya language. As mentioned in the source cited by the OP (here's a link to it), Ma'ya (including dialects) is often referred to by the place that it is spoken at. Bahasa Samate is the variety spoken in the village Samate on Salawati Island. In ISO 639-3, Ma'ya is split into four varieties, the dialect in Samate is included in "Salawati" [slz].

@Mccapra: Believe me, this is indeed not an isolated occurrence with this page creator. They have long a history of producing articles about spurious languages and ethnic groups bordering on hoaxes, probably created in good faith, but with a very poor grasp about what they're reading in the sources. I mean, saying that a language variety is an isolate when it scores 95% lexical similarity with neighboring lects is sheer cluelessness. Last month, I PROD-ed two of their creations (Vanimo Malay and Poso Pesisir people).

Enggros language[edit]

Not generally recognized as a language, borders on a hoax. Languages in eastern Indonesia often have different village-based names, and nothing points to Enggros being distinct from Tobati. Going by the Tobati sketch in "The Oceanic Languages", Enggros is a village where Tobati is spoken. In fact, the data analyzed there comes from "the Enggros dialect". The same author has created Tobati–Enggros languages, a "group" that appears to have been made up too. A single anthropology paper speaks of a "Tobati-Enggros language", but otherwise not much of value shows up in search engines (and news articles aren't to be relied upon, especially when contradicted by literature). The Liputan6 article does mention "Tobati" and "Enggros" separately, but it isn't clear what kind of distinction is being implied. It provides some good insight into the vitality of the Enggros dialect, though. Semmiii (talk) 14:23, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eastern Indonesia Malay[edit]

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

A hoax of sorts, with questionable English prose. These languages do exist, but there are a few major issues with this article:

The classification provided is inaccurate and doesn't appear to follow either of the purported sources (Glottolog and Ethnologue). I think it's a weird mash-up, partially drawing on geography. For example, Manado Malay and North Moluccan Malay are very closely related ("Manadoic Malay" in Glottolog), yet they're listed separately here (owing to their different locations?). The rather mysterious Bacan Malay shows no special relationship to these languages, yet the author insists on listing it under North Moluccan Malay. (In fact, Bacan is very different from all of these languages -- it's not a lingua franca/trade language, let alone a creole.)
Some of the varieties (Sula Malay, Gorontalo Malay) are underdocumented and not even listed in the two sources. People in the Sula Islands actually speak something closer to Ambonese Malay, but I don't think anyone has described the situation there.
I don't think Vanimo Malay exists. Some people in the area do speak Indonesian/Papuan Malay, but I'm unaware of it being considered a distinct variety. Again, no mention of it whatsoever in the declared sources!
"Ethnicity: Malays and various other ethnicities" -- this is very misleading. These languages are mostly used by unrelated eastern Indonesian groups, some of which have adopted them as their primary languages. The Bacan people are thought to have migrated from Borneo, but they have their own ethnic identity too. I believe the same holds true for Larantuka/Nagi.
The article fails to mention that the characterization of these as creole languages isn't widely accepted (see discussion in Kluge, Angela (2017). A Grammar of Papuan Malay. Studies in Diversity Linguistics 11. Berlin: Language Science Press). Compared to every other issue, however, this isn't such a big deal. Semmiii (talk) 14:10, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

HBO controversies[edit]

Weak keep. I think WP:CFORK is misapplied here. This article doesn't duplicate the scope of any another article (except for maybe HBO, but clearly this is far too long to be merged there). Copying and condensing material from a set of other articles on a related topic isn't content forking, it's summary style and is not only allowed but encouraged. Granted, this article could use some more work on the 'condensing' part, but the material from other articles is all properly attributed on the talk page and integrating it better is a just matter of clean up.

As for WP:UNDUEWEIGHT yes, we generally discourage dedicated criticism sections/articles, but there are exceptions for organizations, businesses, philosophies, religions, or political outlooks, provided the sources justify it. I'm !voting weak keep because I'm not sure this meets that criterion – but it's quite plausible that it does. Whole books in media studies have been written about HBO, and I'd be very surprised if they didn't include large sections on controversies and criticism. – Joe (talk) 13:05, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I rejected the original draft because it isn't clear that the overarching topic deserves a standalone list. There's a lot about the reception of individual TV series or films, and that either is or can be included on their pages. Would this page include all negative reactions to HBO content? It's debatable whether many of these are bonafide "controversies" vs normal media criticism. There's also two paragraphs of criticism about HBO MAX, which could be added to the existing reception on the MAX page. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm OK if consensus decides differently but I wanted to explain why I feel this page doesn't meet the criteria for inclusion. BuySomeApples (talk) 23:30, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As an AfC rejection is the opinion of a single editor (usually, but in this case two) it goes against WP:consensus to take this as an absolute. Yes most rejects are hopefully correct, but reviewers do make mistakes. KylieTastic (talk) 09:44, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge~~ to the articles each individual section belongs in. This isn't about "HBO controversies", it's about controversies of each individual show, which happen to be HBO shows. Each individual piece may well be undue, too long, etc for each article, but that's something that the editors of each individual article can then decide, as a normal content issue and not an AfD. They may all get removed from those articles too, and that's fine I think this is a kind content fork, though I do see Joe's point - I think he's correct that the whole thing isn't a single content fork, but what we have here is several content forks, which have then somewhat synthily been smashed together into this article. Basically, I think AfD is the wrong place to determine whether each section should exist or not, but the article itself, as "HBO controversies", certainly should not. -- asilvering (talk) 18:32, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. "HBO controversies" isn't a coherent topic in its own right. This is in addition to the general problems with creating an article that exclusively covers negative aspects of a topic.

Delete: Delete per WP:UNDUEWEIGHT. If HBO as a company had controversies notably unrelated to their shows (such as strikes, white collar crimes in their executives, etc.) to the point of at least six notable events, then this article would be a good keep. Conyo14 (talk) 18:39, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It does not meet WP:NLIST in my opinion. Most of the controversies are already mentioned on the pages of the relevant television series. Technically there is way more that could be written about the reception of HBO productions, but that doesn't mean there should be a standalone page for all of it. Anything that wouldn't be significant enough to warrant inclusion on the series' page is not significant enough for inclusion on a standalone page about HBO controversies. If this page dealt with criticisms of HBO as a company that would be different, but this is all reactions to TV shows with existing pages. (The only exception is the MAX streaming service, which also already has a page with a reception section). BuySomeApples (talk) 23:22, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete, do not merge. This article is conceptually wrong and shows no understanding of how the television industry works. There is exactly one relevant section here, that of HBO Max going streaming-first, and that's not really a "controversy" just a business decision that some other players did not like. (But.... tough on them. That's no more a controversy than the local bar changing the cover charge.) All of those TV shows which had issues were not micromanaged by some HBO executive in New York, but rather, HBO was hiring/contracting out development of a TV show to a production team. These "creatives" can and do work for multiple studios and are fairly independent. So it's ridiculous to call these issues "HBO controversies" in the same way that you can't put everything bad in one sub-company of Berkshire Hathaway a "Berkshire Hathaway controversy"; it's too distant. An actual article would need to focus on HBO itself, not the TV shows on air. SnowFire (talk) 16:18, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Tough one. The article in its current format is clearly problematic. It reads like a database and the sourcing is patchy to say the least. However, the underlying topic is highly notable ([26], [27], [28], [29], [30] and dozens more), meeting the criteria at WP:NLIST. There is some raw material of value here, so rather than delete it, I would like to see it transformed into a less indiscriminate list, possibly as a spinout of a main list within Portrayal of black people in comics.
Keep I think the basic concept behind it is notable, even if the list needs heavy cleanup. However, as it often goes, WP:SURMOUNTABLE problems are not a valid argument to AfD a page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:01, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think the article could use a lot of work in sprucing it up, but there are a lot of reliable sources available to justify this list's existence. Conyo14 (talk) 23:06, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Representation is a thing. When a form of media, genre, or say, a type of character is almost always one way for a long time, exceptions often get press coverage -- not just because they're unusual but because the people represented are often enthusiastic and want to share examples. Nominating a bunch of "[group historically underrepresented] in [an area in which they were underrepresented]" articles as WP:INDISCRIMINATE is, well, indiscriminate. Obviously there will be sources to satisfy WP:NLIST for this topic (I can link some, but I suspect that's not even in question, really), and inclusion criteria seems pretty easy to set up. The rest is just cleanup. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:31, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there though? Women routinely become sportspeople and writers— some sports (like gymnastics and netball) and genres (romance fiction) are probably dominated by women. Similarly there are huge numbers of female superheroes, and if you included groups like magical girls (which arguably are just a slightly different kind of superhero) females would dominate certain areas of that too. That’s why I referenced WP:MILL— there’s no real novelty behind women being superheroes that requires listing them exhaustively. Dronebogus (talk) 11:35, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that's a question we should pose to the participants of WP:Women in Red. Or we could look to secondary sources rather than our own impression. Check out this one: "...certain demographic groups have been overrepresented while those from more marginalized groups have been underrepresented and stereotyped. Female superheroes exemplify this underrepresentation and stereotyping..."

        I'm not sure if you're missing the point or intentionally ignoring it. You said that the problem with the list is that it needs prose. I'm asking whether you think there's a strong reason to add prose to the list rather than replace the list with prose. You suggested that we could have a list with prose and additionally a prose article. I'm asking whether you think there's a strong reason to have both, since having both seems redundant to me. You rather nonsensically said that the list isn't redundant to a prose article since the latter doesn't exist, which may be true but really has nothing to do with your suggestion to have two articles: a list article that includes prose and additionally a prose article. TompaDompa (talk) 10:18, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        A prose article discusses the topic. The list article provides a navigation help for what on the subject exists distributed on Wikipedia. So both have separate functions and therefore independent reasons to exist. Daranios (talk) 11:29, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I know that's your view on the matter and that we generally disagree on the navigational merits of lists like this (why does the list have redlinked and unlinked entries, is anybody actually going to come to this list to find the article they are looking for, would prose be better for exploratory browsing, and so on). pburka suggested that the list needs prose for context, and also suggested that a prose article be created in addition to the list. I'm trying to figure out what they think the benefit of organizing it like that would be. TompaDompa (talk) 11:45, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        Just to to give my opinion, I think redlinked and unlinkable entries without secondary sources backing them up, which are only a very small percentage of the current list, should be removed to avoid any appearance of WP:INDISCRIMINATE problems - which is a WP:SURMOUNTABLE issue.

        I think that's only part of the problem with a list like this: it is by design not meant to be exhaustive (unlike e.g. List of James Bond novels and short stories), not ordered in a way that conveys information (unlike e.g. Stephen King bibliography), not informational in other ways either (unlike e.g. List of cities founded by Alexander the Great), and not plausibly a navigational aid for people looking for a specific article (unlike e.g. Lists of Ancient Roman governors). It is essentially an exercise in stamp collecting. As with most topics, WP:PROSE would almost certainly be a better way to cover the subject matter. TompaDompa (talk) 20:28, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        Lists are popular among certain Wikipedians because they’re extremely easy to “improve” (essentially busywork) or they can’t use categories and/or assume most readers can’t. If categories were made more accessible, especially in mobile, we would easily be able to cull most “stamp collecting” lists. Dronebogus (talk) 11:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        
        I'm afraid you've missed my point. The nomination rationale is false because this list isn't indiscriminate, or, if it really is lacking context (as described by WP:INDISCRIMINATE), the problem is WP:SURMOUNTABLE. pburka (talk) 13:14, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I know that's your view on whether this list article should be deleted, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your suggestion to add prose to this article and also to create a separate, stand-alone prose article. Why organize it like that? TompaDompa (talk) 13:23, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I haven't expressed a view on whether this list article should be deleted, and I haven't proposed any reorganization. pburka (talk) 13:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        You said we could have both a list with prose providing context and a prose article. TompaDompa (talk) 13:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        Are you saying we can't have a list and an article on the same topic? pburka (talk) 14:20, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I'm saying that if the list needs prose for context (in order to not be indiscriminate, or for some other reason), adding prose to the list and creating a prose article seems like a weird way of organizing it. TompaDompa (talk) 14:51, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
        I think lists should have a few sentences of prose putting the contents into context and explaining the inclusion criteria. This isn't the same as an in-depth discussion of the topic of the portrayal of women in superhero fiction, which one might hope to find in a standalone article. pburka (talk) 16:34, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Much like the list of female supervillains, this is too broad a list. As TomaDompa so well put it, a prose article would be massively better, possibly discussing both female superheroes AND supervillains. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking about it more, I'll have to vote keep instead - this article has a companion page already, Portrayal of women in American comics, and simply needs cleanup to remove non-notable characters. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:09, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While we can surely debate if we want this list on Wikipedia or not, I have not seen any policy-based arguments backing up the delete-opinions. Length, specifically, is not a reason for deletion. As long as we limit the list to notable characters, as suggested by LaundryPizza03 and mostly already the case, none of the points of WP:INDISCRIMINATE applies: This is not a collection of indiscriminate, uncommented information, but rather a cross-reference of information which has already been deemed notable and encyclopedic enough to include on Wikipedia, making this a navigational list in accordance with WP:LISTPURP-NAV. So far the only additional information the list gives beyond the category is the publisher/comics series and sometimes minor bits of commentary. Ideally, this could be somewhat expanded and made sortable, but it is already something.

Pinging if any of the participants of the long past previous deletion discussion are still around: @Jc37, Gandalf61, Smeazel, BOZ, and Jack-A-Roe:. Daranios (talk) 06:36, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The list is clearly not WP:INDISCRIMINATE and I haven't seen a compelling argument to delete it. It does have lots of room to WP:IMPROVE, e.g., I'd recommend converting the list to a table and including additional context, such as date of first appearance and creator. The list should also be restricted to individually notable characters in order to constrain its scope (either blue links or well-referenced ref links). It should also link to prose articles offering deeper coverage of this notable topic. pburka (talk) 22:42, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Representation is a thing. When a form of media, genre, or say, a type of character is almost always one way for a long time, exceptions often get press coverage -- not just because they're unusual but because the people represented are often enthusiastic and want to share examples. Nominating a bunch of "[group historically underrepresented] in [an area in which they were underrepresented]" articles as WP:INDISCRIMINATE is, well, indiscriminate. Obviously there will be sources to satisfy WP:NLIST for this topic, and inclusion criteria seems pretty easy to set up. The rest is just cleanup. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 03:28, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per above, and per Superwomen: Gender, Power, and Representation, Carolyn Cocca, 2016, Bloomsbury Publishing - "Over the last 75 years, superheroes have been portrayed most often as male, heterosexual, white, and able-bodied. Today, a time when many of these characters are billion-dollar global commodities, there are more female superheroes, more queer superheroes, more superheroes of color, and more disabled superheroes--but not many more."

@אוהד בר-און:What you have written is probably true, however being active on the website and reporting your findings to Wikipedia is original research, which is disallowed on Wikipedia. We also need multiple significant reliable sources that are independent of the subject per WP:GNG, which is Wikipedia's fundamental notability guideline.

It's not about how many sources you find. The most important thing, along with being independent, is that they give lots of information about the subject instead of just mentioning it.

Paul Lunde[edit]

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

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG; none of the provided citations offer independent coverage of Lunde, just works by Lunde. Searching the internet, Google Scholar, and my university library I was able to find two reviews of works by Lunde, [31] and [32], but which don't discuss Lunde himself or his role in the works at all. When considering the case for WP:NACADEMIC, both of the reviews I would describe as faint praise for the works, nor is there any evidence of a high h-index despite publishing extensively. One of Lunde's primary outlets has been Aramco World described as follows in an Indiana University paper [33]: As Aramco World approached its fiftieth anniversary in November 1999, a retrospective feature touted the cosmopolitan ethos of the publication in its very founding, as it supposedly emerged from Aramco's culturally sensitive priorities. Presuming a fundamental chasm between US Americans and Saudis, the magazine sought: "to bridge the natural but enormous cultural gaps between its expatriate, largely American, workers and their Saudi counterparts and hosts … "7 Founded in 1949 in New York, Aramco World was modeled after other contemporaneous US publications like Life and Saturday Evening Post.8 In 1964, it shifted its publication headquarters from New York to Beirut, where it remained until the beginning of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975.9...n the case of Aramco World, for example, tight Saudi control of the magazine's contents remained in place (as it does to this day), even though the magazine was being produced in Lebanon to, in part, present an ostensibly localized and authentic—rather than propagandistic—picture of the region.12; -- in other words, at best a general interest magazine, at worst a propaganda venture. In the absence of biographical sources about Lunde, I'm not seeing a case for notability. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 04:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lunde's books have been published by major publishers including Dorling Kindersley and reviewed in a number of independent, reliable publications including Library Journal (with multiple reviews in this publication including one from 2004 of his Organized Crime book and one from 2009 for The Book of Codes), Kirkus Reviews (2009 review of Book of Codes), Publishers Weekly (2002 review of Islam: Faith, Culture, History plus discussion of the book in a separate PW article), National Geographic's History Magazine (2009 review of Codes), and The Middle East Journal (2002 review of Islam), His work is also reviewed and cited in a number of other places, with all of these citations accessible through the Wikipedia Library.

Article does not meet WP:GNG based on the below source analysis table. Article reads as WP:FANCRUFT and the only sources available on a WP:BEFORE search are routine mentions or fan blogs.

Weak Delete or Draftify. I agree with Conyo’s source analysis that only the KTNV source is GNG appropriate. However some sources describe the potential of a rivalry. Considering these sources, the teams geographic proximity, and the fact the Knights are only six years old and the teams have limited postseason history, a move to draft space may be a good WP:ATD.

Delete: The bar for rivalry articles is set very high, largely because fans and bored sportwriters are altogether too ready to claim a bitter "rivalry" based on there being a recently strongly contested playoff series. We're talking Celtics-Lakers/Man City-ManU/Harvard-Yale level, with many decades and hundreds of games involved. This "rivalry" -- between nothing more heated than a couple of divisional opponents, over a relative handful of games -- does not come remotely close to meeting that standard. Check back fifty years from now. Ravenswing 01:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Conyo & source analysis. As Ravenswing said, it will likely take years for the rivalry to reach a requisite level of notability.

Delete - A rivalry does not need to be as storied as Harvard-Yale or ManU-ManCity to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements. But it does need to meet GNG, which requires multiple independent reliable sources discussing something particular as a rivalry - not just the two teams being in the same division (currently there are over 100 division pairings, not even counting historic division pairings) or playing a game or even a playoff series against each other.

Funny you mentioned this. It's my first wiki article, so of course I templated it based on a similar event (Tour de Cure). Which was what led me to create this page, because when I search for the (Canadian) event I was attending, I was seeing American event details since the two share the same name. And surely, if the the Vancouver Sun Run qualified for their own page, it made sense for this one to have its own since they both have the same regional scope and notability.

Keep Not one of my strongest keeps as the coverage isn't crystal clear, but there's a surprising amount of coverage of him for a sports stub article, especially in local Vanuatu papers. The fact he scored a few goals internationally means he was mentioned in some international press as well. An odd keepable sports stub. SportingFlyer T·C 12:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, what local coverage are you seeing?? Everything I found was of the brief "routine announcement followed by quotes from the subject" type. JoelleJay (talk) 23:17, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I searched the Vanuatu papers directly. It was awhile back now and I don't have time to find it right now - just checking my pings. There's no "feature article" on him but that's also not really typical of the news there? SportingFlyer T·C 12:44, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, I also looked at Vanuatu papers and did not see anything that rose above routine sports reporting and trivial mentions. Of course he will show up in a ton of articles--his name will be listed as the coach in every single routine match recap and he will be quoted in every press release by the team. It shouldn't matter what the standard is for Vanuatu news; either he receives SIGCOV in multiple independent avenues or he doesn't. And NSPORT still requires that a SIGCOV source be cited in the article -- if one can't be found, then the article shouldn't exist. JoelleJay (talk) 17:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Eh. I think [34] is at least arguable. SportingFlyer T·C 22:29, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer, that's the one I quoted below. I translated the Bislama and all but the introductory sentence is actually quotes or repetition of what one of the two players says. There is no independent SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 22:39, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, the non-bolded text in what I quoted below is not independent coverage; it's all just quotes without quotation marks. JoelleJay (talk) 22:53, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but I still think that's generally fine. As a whole, especially when you combine some of the international coverage, there's a lot of coverage, and he did play at a high level for the region. This isn't one of those cricketers where we're making the SNG do all the work. It's obviously not coverage of an English Premier League standard but there's more than enough over a long period of time to show notability and enough there to write a stub article. SportingFlyer T·C 10:10, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You consider a single sentence SIGCOV??? And what international coverage? GNG requires each source to contain SIGCOV, be independent, and be secondary; where are those sources? JoelleJay (talk) 17:37, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. ????? There are two independent sources in the article. In the first, from Vanuatu Post, the only independent coverage is the bolded portion:

Yesterday morning, two Amicale FC midfield strikers, Fenedy Masauvakalo and Francois Sakama, left for a trial with AS Central Sport in Tahiti.

non-independent content from source

[The two players] said that they would make Vanuatu proud and bring a good name to Vanuatu, the future road from Vanuatu to Tahiti is the door to France, which will be easier. [direct quote from Masauvakalo] His colleague, Sakama, who never thought he'd make trials outside his country, said [quote from Sakama]. Sakama said he looks forward to going to Tahiti and will not forget to thank the man who made it possible, [quote]. [statement from president of PVFA]

The RNZ.co.nz is a passing mention in a routine match report. Nowhere remotely close to SIGCOV!!! JoelleJay (talk) 23:11, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ delete - Aside from the VDP article mentioned above, there is very little coverage that is independent of the subject or that goes in-depth. I found this 2009–10 OFC Champions League match preview in The National (Papua New Guinea) that mentions Sakama briefly, but it's not enough to be SIGCOV. It appears that Sakama had a career in Vanuatu club football that was noticed to some extent, but I just don't see enough to indicate the article meets our guidelines. Jogurney (talk) 17:46, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Updating my !vote to regular delete, as I was struggling with the number of Bislama-language hits at dailypost.vu that I couldn't machine translate to English. However, I found a passable translator at bislama.org, and every VDP article I've checked is the same kind of match preview/match report with a quote or two from Sakama but nothing in-depth. I'm confident now that this article fails the GNG. Jogurney (talk) 18:47, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per Jgourney and JoelleJay's source analysis. Willing to reconsider if more sigcov is identified, so please ping me. Unfortunately, what I have seen so far does not quite reach the level of GNG. Frank Anchor 14:55, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would say Keep: I have added Victorian Architecture, which covers the Norland Estate on pages 187 to 190 and mentions Addison Avenue nine times. I think the Survey of London and Victorian Architecture individually provide SIGCOV, which is supplemented by The London Encyclopaedia (3 sentences) London 3: North West (4 sentences plus background on the estate).

I disagree:

- Source 2 is a mention of the serial's actors only, and does say anything other than it is a remake
- Source 3 is only a trivial mention of the serial, with the same coverage as source 2
- Source 4 is primary, the serial's page on Hotstar
- Source 5 is routine coverage about time change
- Source 6 is routine coverage about an actress leaving the serial, and is mainly a POV of her about this
- Source 7 is routine coverage about an actor leaving the serial to act in a movie
- Source 8 is about an actor's death
- Source 9 is routine update on the serial's story
- Source 10 is repeat of source 8
- Source 11 is routine coverage of actor change
- Source 12 is about an actress getting vaccinated
- Source 13 is only a trivial mention of the serial, like source 2

The problem with the Times of India source is it describes Premas Rang Yave as a new TV show, not an adaption of Anandha Ragam. So it doesn't show that Anandha Ragam is notable. You have similar problems with the newsorbit article which says the adaption is rumored to be an adaption of Anandha Ragam. At best it is a passing mention of the show.

Comment I always wonder if these lists of elected leaders should be judged through the lens of WP:NLIST or WP:SPINOFF. Assuming the information is reliable and verifiable, NLIST looks at the notability of the list as a unique article entry, while SPINOFF suggests when the conditions exists to create a stand-alone article (with the assumption that the information would be acceptable within the parent article).

Keep per IAR/COMMONSENSE. Over 50 caps for national team, appeared at 3 major tournaments. Will there be coverage of him in Arabic sources? Absolutely. Giant Snowman 16:51, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per above. Seriously... I found [45], [46], [47], [48], and [49], among many more Arabic sources... definitely has many offline sources having been significant Saudi player in pre internet age... Article needs improve not deletion... Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:06, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, lazy nomination with no BEFORE done.--Ortizesp (talk) 04:40, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Al Riyadiyah has some coverage of Al-Bishi that looks significant: This interview includes a paragraph on his career exploits, and This confirms that he scored a goal in Al Hilal SFC's 1989 King Cup final victory (definitely not significant coverage, but an important achievement for sure). I'm going to look further, but unless someone has checked Arabic-language sources, we won't know if SIGCOV exists. Jogurney (talk) 22:26, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - I checked online Arabic language coverage and it's pretty insignificant. A few sources mention Al-Bishi's career achievements, but most of the coverage consists of interviews with the subject on recent developments at his former club or regarding the league or national team. That said, he played in the 1980s and 1990s, and I can't access any coverage from that era online. I understand that Al Jazirah (newspaper) has an online archive going back to the 1980s, but I'm not skilled enough in Arabic to use it effectively. Overall, knowing Al-Bishi's importance to Al Hilal and the national team, and our lack of access to sources published contemporaneously with his career, I think this is a reasonable time to WP:IAR.

Blaze of Sweden[edit]

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

Fails WP:GNG and the guidelines for companies. Can't find any reliable sources on google search or news. There are two references on the page; one to the company's website (not secondary), and one that seems to only mention the company in passing.

Delete. I found a slighly better source, (Bergsten, Jan. "Manga samsas med mode", Norrländska Socialdemokraten 5 April 2016), when looking through an archive of Swedish newspaper articles, but it still doesn't give us enough foundation to be able to build an encyclopdic article. /Julle (talk) 10:18, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Casey Krehbiel[edit]

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

I believe this subject fails WP:NBLP. The three sources shown only list the subject's name in a trivial mention of the producers of 'Nightshade', which would not meet WP:SIGCOV. Searches only come up with the producer on review sites and other social media pages. Karnataka (talk) 16:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. He has other good sources I can also include. Could you please give me a little more time? I will add more citations where he is also mentioned. Ricktheelectric (talk) 16:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Adding more sources to prove the notability of the subject is wonderful! Karnataka (talk) 17:21, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also from what I know Deadline is considered to be a reliable source of information and only notable filmmakers are mentioned there and this man is also in the Hollywood Reporter which I also included in his references section. Ricktheelectric (talk) 16:59, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ricktheelectric: I have no problem with the source itself, Deadline and Hollywood Reporter may be very reliable and notable, however adding "more citations where he is also mentioned" will not prove the notability of Casy Krehbiel (read WP:SIGCOV by following this link). In all three sources, he is only mentioned once, and there is no further information about him other than that he was one of the co-producers of 'Nightshade'. Karnataka (talk) 17:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so are you saying that I need more sources where there is detailed information about him, such as an interview? Ricktheelectric (talk) 17:34, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ricktheelectric an interview, regardless of who publishes it will not pass WP:GNG due to it not being independent of the subject. Find sources that comply with this, such as articles that not just mention Krehbiel's name, but those that also talk about himself, his expertise, his past life or his career and add them into the article. Read Wikipedia:BLP as it offers guidance of how biographies should be written and sourced. Karnataka (talk) 18:31, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fine then in that case I will find more sources such as detailed articles about Krehbiel but in the meantime I think that the solution is to improve this page and not delete it. It still fulfills the Wikipedia guidelines on notability as well as use of reliable sources. Ricktheelectric (talk) 19:18, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Since the article was created today, I'll wait a few days before giving a vote. In its current form, the article reads like a resume listing every episode of every show the subject worked on. The two sources on the article are the same two that come up in a Google search[50]. From what I can find, I don't see anything to substantiate GNG (GNG is only a bare minimum threshold for presumption, not proving the subject is notable) and beyond that I can't think of an argument to make that the subject is notable. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 21:43, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
