This article fails WP:GNG. None of the sources in the article satisfy the necessary criteria. I've also searched for sources online and none of them seem to satisfy these criteria either. Please review the source assessment table below. Nythar (💬-❄️) 23:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Source assessment table: prepared by User:Nythar
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
The Grand Rapids Press Yes ? I don't know if MLive is a reliable source and it's difficult to determine. No The source barely focuses on or describes who he is. The article mostly focuses on Henry Payne's contributions to ArtPrize, which seems to be a contest. The article is 100% trivial WP:ROUTINE coverage of local events. No
The Item No This source represents a newspaper publishing a story about itself. The Item's "stable of national commentary and opinion" is apparently being joined by three columnists, namely David Broder, Mike Royko, Walter Williams, and Henry Payne. Yes No The coverage is not significant. There's a very short general history of Henry Payne, introducing him and three others to a commentary panel. No
Michigan Capitol Confidential Yes ? The website itself isn't major so it's difficult to tell if it's reliable. However, upon reviewing it's main page, you can see a clear pro-Republican and anti-Democrat lean, with most article focusing on Michigan politics. No The article mentions Henry Payne's contributions as a speaker to to a climate change forum, but does not focus on him. No
Michigan Messenger Yes Yes No Although there is a section in the article that focuses on Henry Payne's contributions as a speaker to a climate change deniers forum, its coverage of him is not significant and the article focuses on the forum, simply mentioning him and using one of his statements as an example. No
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.
  • Keep Payne has an entry in the West Virginia Encyclopedia, both the 2006 print version and online version. Don't know much about this encyclopedia but the about section of the website shows a large editorial staff and gives me little to be concerned about. Vladimir.copic (talk) 03:59, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment https://www.nationalreview.com/author/henry-payne/ shows his contact information. If someone wanted to ask him if he has ever been interviewed or reviewed anywhere, that would help you find out if any sources existed. Dream Focus 04:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the article is looking better now than when nominated. After working on the article I believe at a minimum the guidelines for WP:BASIC are met. Additionally I believe the person meets the criteria for WP:ANYBIO#2. I may continue to add references to the article. I am trying to confirm the Michigan AP award that is mentioned in primary sources. Lightburst (talk) 15:14, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Every source added to that article fails the WP:GNG criteria. I can make another source assessment table but I'm busy today, so maybe tomorrow. I think that the only thing about him that is notable is the fact that he is a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Even so, we can still debate if this is actually something that proves he is inherently notable according to WP:ANYBIO's first criteria. Replying to User:Lightburst's !vote above, if you "think" that he meets the #2 of WP:ANYBIO, you'll need to prove it by providing reliable sources that say he "made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field". Like I said, none of the sources provided are acceptable according to GNG (I'll probably make the assessment table tomorrow), so the claim that he meets #2 can't be taken as a fact. Nythar (💬-❄️) 01:13, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Nythar: WP:COAL and I recommend that you do the same. Lightburst (talk) 02:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lightburst: I have seen many an AfD result in a consensus that is contrary to any of the available facts. One occurred quite recently, for example: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leo Liu, where the result was to keep, and an AfD a few weeks later: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leo Liu (2nd nomination), where the result was overwhelmingly to delete.
At AfDs, nominators begin by presenting their points while explaining why they think an article should be deleted, with relevant policy links. In many cases, like this one, after some article work, everyone agrees that the article is in good condition and should not be deleted. What if the nominator (me) notices that your (the !voters') claims that the article has been improved are actually wrong? Seriously, take a look at the example I linked to above. And like I said, I will probably assess the new sources in a table tomorrow. If at that point you have any meaningful argument to counter my evidenced points, please put it forward. If your argument makes sense and is grounded in policy, I might even agree with you. Nythar (💬-❄️) 03:01, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Citations added since nomination are of little value for establishing whether WP:ANYBIO is met. MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:41, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The lack of independent coverage is a concern. However, I will trust the judgement of those who state that the Professional Journalist awards are sufficient to demonstrate notability. MrsSnoozyTurtle 05:26, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. He won a Society of Professional Journalists award twice (I just added them to the article in the past few minutes), plus the Pulitzer nomination/finalist. Reporting on the former is minimal and lacking independence (his own publication is the only source reporting it), so I think that is not the clearest pass at WP:ANYBIO but it's enough for me to !vote keep, weakly. CT55555(talk) 01:16, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep based on the professional award from a society that seems important to the profession (won twice), the West Virginia Encyclopedia entry and overall the article is not in bad shape. While there is little coverage of the professional award these things still elevate the subject over his peers making him notable. --hroest 03:58, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I searched before but so many results appeared [1] hard to find anything really standing out. 1,744 matches in newspaper.com for "Henry Payne" "cartoonist". Many places mention his work or have a brief quote from him, but I couldn't find any detailed coverage anywhere. But if the Society of Professional Journalists is a significant award, that's enough to prove he is notable enough to have his own Wikipedia article. Dream Focus 04:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- Since there seems to be consensus that the sources don't necessarily prove notability, but that the award Henry Payne won makes him notable, I won't prepare a source assessment table and I'm not against keeping the article. Nythar (💬-❄️) 09:26, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to fail WP:NFILM. No reviews found in a BEFORE. Tagged for notability.

PROD removed with "noted work of a notable filmmaker, deprodded", but notability isn't inherited WP:NOTINHERITED. The work must stand on it's own. DonaldD23 talk to me 13:01, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I watched this movie actually, and recall it being quite popular and widely theatrically released, even if it was trashy, critically disliked and unsophisticated. It was released widely, as noted critic Barry Ronge described it there's a big audience for these films. Audiences love them and they make big money, which allows them to get government money for copy-cat sequels, while filmmakers who aspire to deliver quality fail to get subsidies because the donors believe the film will fail.[2] Here's another rueful mention of its nationwide release:[3]. Here are reviews from WP:RS [4][5]. Meets WP:NFILM via WP:NFSOURCES and WP:NFO ("The film is widely distributed and has received full-length reviews by two or more nationally known critics."). WP:WORLDWIDE also needs to be taken into account. EDIT: It's led to a TV Series, and The Citizen, another WP:RS describes the movie as "iconic".[6] Park3r (talk) 02:52, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources as shown in the above post that show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:17, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting because the RS mentioned in the discussion that I checked on looked less than reliable. The first one listed had a paywall (which doesn't rule it out) but then wouldn't let me back out of the site without displaying more screens of clickbait journalism.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 18:41, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Regarding the relisting comment: The Sunday Times has been around since 1906, and is reliable. The Citizen is another well-known mainstream newspaper. IOL, despite post-2020 woes, was reliable at at the time that the review was written, and it carries news from Independent Newspapers, which owns some of the oldest papers in the country, including The Star, The Daily News, Mercury, and finally News24 is owned by Media24, which is part of Naspers, and is South Africa's largest publisher, with a history that dates back to 1915, and Naspers is one of the biggest companies in Africa. Barry Ronge was a well known, widely read, and respected critic. If any of the news sources are deemed unreliable, we might as well gut a substantial number of articles about South Africa, since these are heavily cited. None of these have been discussed on WP:RSN, apart from post 2020 IOL, which I raised (but doesn’t apply to the review of this movie which was released in 2007).

  • Keep I have updated the article with additional detail and sources. The film seems to have been a box office success in South Africa and spawned one spin-off film, two television films, and a television series. I also found quite a detailed academic analysis of its themes, which I wasn't expecting. Ackatsis (talk) 09:22, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding significant coverage for him. Australian search engine Trove yields namesakes and a few mentions of his memorial lecture but nothing indepth about him. LibStar (talk) 23:09, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I found this article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00049999.1977.9656566 in a peer reviewed journal, usually obituaries are only dedicated to impactful individuals in the field and the article should give at least enough coverage for a short WP article. The memorial lecture further indicates notability. --hroest 15:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per hroest. I think the Royal Australian Planning Institute Journal reference is probably sufficient, when combined with the eponymous lecture series, to meet GNG. More RSs would obviously help but I'm satisfied notability requirements have been met. Cabrils (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of unclear necessity. All of the stations listed here are already listed in the head article as it is, meaning that this is just a content fork reduplicating content we already have in another article. And all of the stations listed here exist solely as redirects back to the same head article, with absolutely none of them having their own separate standalone articles about the stations themselves -- which means it's a list with only one outbound target, because every single link in the list is going to the same place.
Furthermore, even if the stations did have their own articles, the head article could just directly link to them as it is — the article isn't particularly long even with the list of stations already embedded in it, so the list doesn't need to be spun off to its own standalone page on article size management grounds.
There's just no pressing need for this to be its own separate topic, if the exact same information is already present in the parent article anyway. Bearcat (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Transportation and Ecuador. Bearcat (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Strong oppose. This nomination is really ridiculous. I already said elsewhere that I will create the article page starting from tomorrow, meaning the nomination argument is invalid. Moreover, the content duplication fork is invalid as well, we do have list of metro stations for pretty much every system, and nobody ever complains. If you are unhappy, remove it from the article, or even include it to the article as a section. There are literally zero reason to delete the list. Ymblanter (talk) 22:00, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    We most certainly do not routinely have a standalone "list of metro stations" as a separate topic from "System" for every metro system that exists — we do that if the system's article is long enough to need splitouts for size management purposes, and if that's not the case then we just list the stations in the main article instead of their own separate list. This, additionally, is supported solely by the system's own self-published primary source content about itself, which is not an independent or notability-supporting source at all. Bearcat (talk) 22:04, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This last statement is incorrect. Urbanrail is independent of the Quito Metro, I am not even sure how you got the idea it is affiliated with this system. Concerning this first statement, I doubt it is correct, and if it is we should have a policy stating this. Ymblanter (talk) 22:11, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 22:16, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect unless significantly expanded. Currently there is nothing in the list article that isn't in the main article other than the opening date, but that can (and probably should) be fixed by adding the single sentence "All stations were opened on 21 December 2022.". The list does not currently overwhelm the main article either, so unless the list is significantly expanded such that it would overwhelm the system article (and with just 15 stations, even coordinates and an image for each station would not do that) there is no need to split-out the list. However the title is a very likely search term so it should be redirected to the section of the main article - Quite Metro#System. Thryduulf (talk) 10:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect When Quito Metro is as short as it is, there is no basis whatsoever for a separate page to list the stations. If that's significantly expanded, a split would be welcome when warranted. With just one line, it should still be easy to keep in the main page. Reywas92Talk 14:22, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Quito Metro. There is absolutely no reason for a separate list, this only serves to fragment the information and make the reader chase links.  // Timothy :: talk  11:04, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Quito Metro. This would indeed be the best place for this list. TH1980 (talk) 02:21, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect into Quito Metro. I have copied the sole ref in the article to the target. Now nothing needs salvaging and the article should be redirected. gidonb (talk) 03:30, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    At the very least, the list already contains two links to the station pages, and the article does not contain any. Ymblanter (talk) 08:04, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ymblanter, thank you for pointing this out! I saw even three stations. Now linked from the main article. gidonb (talk) 11:29, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete after Merge — since the content is a fork, there's no reason to keep the history in a redirect. All content has already been merged.
    William Allen Simpson (talk) 10:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If some content has been merged, it by definition was not a fork. Deleting even the redirect would be a violation of my right as an author. Ymblanter (talk) 12:06, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOSOON article about a film in the production pipeline, not yet reliably sourced as the subject of sufficient production coverage to exempt it from the principal notability criteria at WP:NFILM. As always, the "future films" section of NFILM is not an automatic "every film that enters the production pipeline is automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article right then and there" pass -- it's for films that generate a very large volume of production coverage that marks them out as special cases of significantly greater notability than the norm, such as Marvel or Star Wars films, while most films are not notable until they're actually released and getting reviewed by professional film critics.
But this just has a couple of stray production and casting announcements, which is not enough coverage to deem it a special case of greater notability than other as yet unreleased films -- and both the fact that we don't even know a title yet, and the fact that I can't even get it out of the container-only Category:American films because we don't even have a confirmed genre for it to be recategorized to yet, both mean it's too soon for us to have an article about this yet. Even if we sometimes permit articles about films prior to release if they have sufficient coverage, we should still never start an article about a film before we even know a title or a genre.

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

This page should be deleted as per WP:DEL-REASON 6.: Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes. A previous deletion discussion in 2007 resulted in no consensus. This article has only two sources. The first source is incomplete and consists only of a title, publisher, and year. From what I can tell this source is referring to “한국적 신학형성과 단군신화 연구” (단군학회 편 자료집, 1999) by 박영규. This is from a Daejongism conference (see details at this website) that makes no mention of Cheonson/천손, the topic of the Wikipedia article. The second source, What does the national holiday mean? by Park In-Taek and Han Chang-soo, is only used as a reference for the etymology of the holiday Gaecheonjeol which is not the topic of the article. The contents of the present article are therefore supported by no sources. What's more, I was not able to find any reliable sources for Cheonson in the academic literature, or more broadly in reliable sources indexed on the web. Yannn11 15:13, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is this book in English, published by SAGE Publications, but it was published in 2018, well after the Wikipedia article was written, and you would be hard-pressed to call that significant coverage. For this to be kept it looks like sources in Korean (which I don't read) will be needed. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's worth noting that Korean mythology is not the topic of this book. In a single paragraph describing Dangun, the only mention of Cheonson is in the sentence Human beings are considered the descendants of Dan'gun and are considered the posterity of Heaven (Cheonson, 천손天孫). Considering the Wikipedia article has existed since 2006, this book was published in 2018, the sentence in the book is unsourced, and the sentence uses similar wording as the article, this could likely be a circular reference.

Keep While the state of this article is appalling, there are definitely more than enough reliable sources (albeit mostly in the Korean language) to establish both its notability. Just FYI that this originated (contested by some Korean scholars who argue that it was exported to Japan from Korea) from the Tenson kōrin mythology of Japan, and English-language sources may also use the Japanese term Tenson when referring to the Gaya Confederacy founding myth. I'll clean it up when I get some time to work on it. Freedom4U (talk) 06:11, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please provide said sources in this discussion? The assertion that the sources must exist does not justify the current article (e.g., WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES). Yannn11 03:15, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To reply to the second part of your comment, I think by "this" in FYI that this originated you are referring to aspects of Korean mythology that share similarities with the Tenson kōrin myth (천손강림신화). These may be appropriate or already found in Korean mythology#Gaya or Dangun. I do not think you will be able to find a source for the topic of this article (Posterity of Heaven or Cheonson (천손, 天孫) designates the Korean people because they are considered the descendants of Heaven or the heavenly god.). If you can find such a source please add it to this discussion. Yannn11 15:21, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhh, I see the diference here, potentially merge with the Tenson korin article could work. "Aspects of Korean [Gaya, Goguryeo, Balhae] mythology that share similarities with the Tenson kōrin myth" is what I was referring to by 천손, claims of descendancy from heaven made by various emperors of Korea.

I'm not necessarily opposed to a merge, but given that the Posterity of Heaven article would need to be renamed and rewritten (renamed because "Posterity of Heaven" never appears in any of these articles and Tenson kōrin is always referred to as 천손강림; rewritten because the current contents are unsourced and confused), I don't quite see the point. Although if the end result is that the unsourced article in its current form is deleted, a merge seems reasonable. Thanks for the sources on Tenson kōrin. Yannn11 19:33, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Unreferenced list of cities and towns in an unofficial region with subjective boundaries. This explicitly defines itself as using a "narrow" definition, as opposed to a "wider" one, which means that the basic boundaries of what's even in the region in the first place are up for debate and dispute -- which, in turn, means that it's effectively unmaintainable in a Wikipedia context, if there are such open questions about what should or shouldn't even be listed here. And, indeed, this came to my attention because the page recently got decategorized in the process of an attempt to strip the Michigan subsection from the article entirely, which seems like an intentionally targeted content dispute rather than just for-the-lulz vandalism.
Since we already have a head article about Michiana which already links to all the counties in it, and the counties in it in turn already link to all the communities in the counties, that means we already have the same information in other places anyway -- so it's just not clear that there's any pressing need to also maintain an omnibus list of all the individual communities in the region as its own standalone topic, especially if there isn't one objective universal definition of what the proper boundaries of the region even are.

Caspian (rapper)[edit]

Caspian (rapper) (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:BLP, started in draftspace and then immediately moved to mainspace by its own creator without WP:AFC review, of a musician not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The notability claim here basically amounts to "musician who exists", with the article documenting nothing about his career that would even be measurable against any of NMUSIC's accomplishment-based criteria -- and there are just four references (one of which has been redundantly reduplicated as two separate cites, for five footnotes but only four actual sources), of which two are Q&A interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person rather than having his significance analyzed in the third, one is just one of his own songs metaverifying its own existence on YouTube, and one is a short blurb not substantive enough to carry him over WP:GNG all by itself if it's the most GNG-worthy source on the table.
This is not enough to get him over the "notable because media coverage exists" hump, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have stronger referencing than this either. Bearcat (talk) 12:44, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We apologize for moving to mainspace without WP:AFC review. The subject has been well covered and signed to multiple record labels (CP Music Group, StealthBomb Records). Every notable collaboration he has worked with have pages on Wikipedia and are tagged in the article. Cites include well known and reputable online sites including vice.com in two different articles. The third cite article mentioned is from one of the biggest online hip hop websites Worldstarhiphop.com. We will add more information in the article but please ask to not delete this page as there are interfering search results between the subject and a rock band with the similar name. Thank you Samroth33 (talk) 13:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Signed to record labels" is not, in and of itself, a Wikipedia inclusion criterion, and neither is "has collaborated with other people who have Wikipedia articles". You also appear, from your tone here, to have a direct conflict of interest with regard to Caspian, so please be aware that people who have a direct personal stake in his career (such as himself, his own record label, his own management team, and the like) are not who gets to decide whether he gets a Wikipedia article or not — our inclusion criteria are clear, and you have not adequately demonstrated that he meets them. Bearcat (talk) 13:18, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply, is there anything else we can add to the article to resolve this issue. As mentioned above, it seems he meets all criteria for a article. Samroth33 (talk) 13:33, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You have not demonstrated that he "meets all criteria for a article". You need to read WP:NMUSIC, and show third party reliable source coverage about him which demonstrates that he meets one or more of the inclusion criteria listed there. Not wrapped YouTube videos, and not interviews in which he's talking about himself in the first person: third-party coverage in which other people are talking or writing in the third person about his achievement of something that would satisfy an NMUSIC criterion. Bearcat (talk) 14:15, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, i have added more cites to the article, there are 10 cites now. We will continue to update it as we search for more articles. Samroth33 (talk) 14:31, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, you're not getting it. For example, you don't get a musician over the touring criterion by using a concert listings calendar to verify the existence of a tour — you get a musician over the touring criterion by using media coverage about the tour (i.e. concert reviews in the major newspapers) to demonstrate that the tour was deemed significant by professional music journalists. Bearcat (talk) 15:20, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep We have provided enough information and cites for the article to remain. All label mates tagged in the article have Wikipedia pages with the same accolades and accomplishments as Caspian. We feel that the rock band with a similar name is interfering in search results on google and other search results and this article is important, not only for the history of the artist, but to differentiate the different musicians in the different Genres. Samroth33 (talk) 16:04, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again with the "we"? He isn't owed a Wikipedia article because of a problem you're having on Google — the question of whether he gets a Wikipedia article or not is determined by whether he clears our inclusion standards or not, and has nothing to do with anybody's personal desire to augment their own Google presence. Bearcat (talk) 17:40, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is sufficient information proving the article to be of a notable entity, to say a article cannot be made for a artist who hasn't won a Juno or had a charting song is dishonest. He had a number one video on muchmusic in 2009, but there are no articles online to prove that so it is not included in the article, along with a life time of work in the music industry that feels like is being discredited at this point. We will have to let the admins decide. Thanks Samroth33 (talk) 18:15, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And we're not here to help with your Google SEO problems. Oaktree b (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Those are the notability criteria we look at, having a single that's charted in Canada, a Juno nomination, having a gold record... Look at the Reve article; her songs were played on the radio and we couldn't even make an article about her until Ctrl alt delete hit Gold Record status. Simply recording music doesn't cut it, even having it played on the radio doesn't cut it here for notability. Oaktree b (talk) 21:34, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no such thing as "notable enough for a Wikipedia article on the basis of a claim I cannot prove by reliably sourcing it properly". Anybody can claim anything, even if it's a lie — so it's not the things you say that get a person into Wikipedia, it's the quality and depth of the media coverage that can be shown to support the things you say, and there's no such thing as "notable for a reason I can't actually prove". Wikipedia is not a free public relations database on which people are automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist — we're an encyclopedia, with specific requirements that a Wikipedia article has to follow to become appropriate for inclusion here. Bearcat (talk) 20:07, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned previously, there are multiple reliable sources in the article, thanks Samroth33 (talk) 20:20, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned previously, there are zero sources present in the article that are covering him in the context of anything that would satisfy WP:NMUSIC. We're going to go over these one by one here:
  1. Vice - Acceptable publication in theory; this particular piece, however, is only a short blurb that doesn't say anything about him that would pass a notability criterion at all.
  2. HipHopCanada - A Q&A interview in which he's talking about himself in the first person, which is not support for notability.
  3. Vice - Q&A again, talking about himself rather than having his significance analyzed by other people.
  4. WorldHipHop - Not coverage about him, just a streaming copy of one of his own songs, and thus not support for notability.
  5. Just a repetition of the same Q&A interview we already had to dismiss in #2.
  6. Exclaim - Not about Caspian, just glancingly namechecks his existence a single time in the process of being about somebody else.
  7. Concert Addicts - Not a reliable or WP:GNG-worthy source at all.
  8. Ephin Lifestyle Holdings - Not a reliable or WP:GNG-worthy source at all.
  9. HipHopCanada - Not about Caspian, just glancingly namechecks his existence a single time in the process of being about somebody else.
  10. Ephin Lifestyle Holdings - Again, not a reliable or WP:GNG-worthy source at all.
  11. Georgia Straight - Not about Caspian, just glancingly namechecks his existence a single time in the process of being about somebody else.
So no, the only source that's getting you anywhere at all is #1, which again is a short blurb and therefore not enough all by itself. None of the other sources are cutting it at all in terms of building notability. We are not looking for just any web page you can find that has his name in it; we are looking for coverage about him (not just happening to mention his name while being fundamentally about somebody else) in real media (not PR blogs) which analyzes the significance of his accomplishments (not just verifying the existence of songs) in the third person (not him talking about himself in an interview). Bearcat (talk) 20:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we'd consider a Muchmusic chart from 2009 a reliable source. Was it on the main MuchMusic channel or Much Loud or one of the other iterations that came along of the same channel? Did he attend the VMAs? We need more than just confirmation that he sings and gives interviews. Did the Toronto Star or Vancouver Sun ever do a feature article about him? We need a media story about him (not an interview) in a major Canadian media outlet to even look at notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 21:31, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Herrgärdets IP[edit]

Per WP:GNG and WP:NARENA. This article has very few mentions on the Internet:

  • the only citation of the article – which is only used to confirm that the stadium was the home stadium of Västerås IK for a game and doesn't give the topic significant coverage

Searching "Herrgärdets IP" -wikipedia on Google only yields seven results: the first being the aforementioned blog post; three links giving the same level of coverage as the source given in the article; and three irrelevant links. The same query on Google Books and Google News yield no results.

The article on the Swedish Wikipedia uses the same source as this article and the article on the Dutch Wikipedia gives another link (which seems to be dead) whose archived version (as of 2 January 2014) only makes a passing mention of the stadium.

I suggest either deleting the article or redirecting to Västerås IK. -- Kzkzb (talk) 09:22, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. So Herrgärdets IP is fairly significant in the history of Swedish sports: two Swedish ice hockey championship finals, home of Västerås SK and Västerås IK at a time when they played in the highest tiers of Swedish bandy and football (soccer), respectively, all of these being major sports in Sweden. There's a two-page article about the stadium in Vestmanlands Läns Tidning (accessible through sv:Mediearkivet) and some other mentions. Books which would contain more information are VSK : Västerås sportklubb : 100 år 1904–2004 (ed. Hans Mejevi), Västerås idrottsklubb : Jubileumsskrift. 1913-1943 and Arosidrotten 1000 år : en kulturhistorisk Västeråskrönika (ed. Ingemar Helgoson and Göte Johansson), none of which I have access to at the moment. I've expanded the article based on the texts I have found which are electronically accessible. /Julle (talk) 12:08, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    (This doesn't mean the nominator hadn't done a reasonable WP:BEFORE. Google is terrible at locating Swedish news, and doing a proper search in Swedish newspapers, even from the last twenty years, requires access to services like Mediearkivet.) /Julle (talk) 13:14, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep You know, I am inclined to keep this article, it's small and could be expanded if additional information is found. However at the moment what is there is sourced and it is correct and can be helpful to a reader. If anything, this nomination feels it's simply sent to AfD because the nominator didn't like the article size! I don't see any point in a redirect as it has been a multipurpose venue used for different things. Also because it was a multipurpose venue, a redirect to a football club shouldn't be done. Correct redirect and merge would be to the town of Västerås. Regards Govvy (talk) 22:54, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, most of the article has been written since it was taken to AfD; when Kzkzb suggested a redirect to Västerås IK, it looked like this. I've since expanded it. /Julle (talk) 02:05, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    The nominator of this AfD is the creator of the article. in this diff (with an edit summary of fucks sake alright you win) they tried to G7 the article because Piotrus edit warred to add a notability tag.

The result was delete. On a straight nose count, this would seem to veer toward "no consensus". However, as always, AfD is not a vote. The two individuals who argue to keep cite, essentially, their personal standards for what would make someone notable, rather than actual notability guidelines agreed upon by community consensus. This causes the arguments to carry substantially less weight, and tips into "delete". Seraphimblade Talk to me 03:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:USCJN, state appellate judges are not inherently notable. BD2412 T 21:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • BD2412, you nominated for deletion four articles regarding judges (Juan Ramirez Jr.; Angel A. Cortiñas; David M. Gersten; Alan R. Schwartz), within the span of two minutes, with identical descriptions. Likewise, while you state in each that "state appellate judges are not inherently notable", you do not address why each individual judge is not notable; plenty of people are notable, even if not bestowed inherently by job title. With that in mind, and given that the AfD guidelines have a checklist of steps to carry out before nominating an article, what steps did you take to assess the notability of this particular judge before nominating the article for deletion? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:59, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lamona (talk) 03:05, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep So shouldn't the criteria for keeping or deleting be more than just the title or office of the person, and instead what she/he did while in the office? A minor officeholder can make a big impact (good or bad) (for example, Rosemarie Aquilina is a low level state court trial judge, but she made a major impact during the Nassar trial). Judge Schwartz, in his almost 30 years on the bench, authored 944 opinions. To dismiss him as delete-ably routine simply because he was just an appellate judge really glosses over what he did as an appellate judge. In 3 minutes of looking at some of his decisions and sorting by the number of times those decisions were cited by other courts, I was able to find 2 significant and interesting (well, at least interesting to lawyers) decisions that made law. His decisions, his reasoning and writings will continue to influence the application of law for likely decades to come. Significance and notability should be more than surface level deep, and the contributions a person makes should be a factor just as much as a person's perceived social importance. Today's flash-in-the-pan celebrity will be gone in 15 seconds; this man's work will live on and impact real people. The article needs work and more research, no doubt, to identify and analyze decisions and the impact of those decisions. But aborting the notion of his notability on what might be cursory research (hopefully more than just a google search...), favors the potentially less-serious-more-notorious people over those who are serious and impactful but not flashy. Judge Schwartz seems serious and impactful. Let this article live on; maybe somebody will fill it out more oneday. Leglamp123 (talk) 00:48, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Leglamp123, thanks for the link to the Court Listener list of decisions. (I find it particularly interesting the search terms "author_id:6756 OR panel_ids:6756" and would love for there to be instructions somewhere here on WP on how to discover those ids.) Looking through the notability criteria I am unable to find a policy that would support this article. All of the wp:Notability_(people) criteria, including those in wp:Notability_(people)#cite_note-note6-8 refer to "in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles". We have a separate set of criteria for academics that takes into account their publications and impact through citations and that does not require main-stream third-party sources, but we do not have any stated policy that would cover judges. You say that he authored 944 opinions. I have no idea if that is a lot for a career judge. Admitting that our criteria for notability is lacking for judges, what does that number of opinions represent in the juridical realm? An average amount? A huge amount? Are there awards that would follow, or are those not an aspect of that type of work? Thanks, Lamona (talk) 17:28, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lamona, that's a thoughtful question, and a hard one to develop criteria for. In the legal profession generally, a lawyer's reputation is mostly known inside that specific legal practice area (not dissimilar from academics); except for personal injury lawyers who advertise on TV or buy those SuperLawyer rankings, the legal community frowns upon overt self-promotion or boasting, and prefers to be known by word-of-mouth reputation - and that's practicing lawyers. Judges are even more adverse to attention, and between that and judicial canons / code of conduct, judges almost never grant interviews or author non-judicial opinion pieces...so as a result, the news universe finds most judges pretty boring most of the time. So like academics/professors, the real reputation of judges is known within the small insider circle of other lawyers and judges.
There aren't really any awards or rankings, at least none that serious lawyers and judges take seriously or that would easily appear on google. Coming up with some type of objective-ish metric isn't easy. @Berian has a good start in his lawyer standards.
So this would be my suggestion to try to apply a metric: an impactful judge who is respected by her/his peers, who authors compelling legal decisions, is often quoted/cited by other courts in other legal decisions. Impactful decisions are often cited in or the subject of scholarly law review articles. So an idea would be to look at how often a judge's decision is cited in by other courts, particularly a state's highest court (in Florida that would be the Supreme Court), by federal appellate courts, and most rare of all, the U.S. Supreme Court. And look at how often a judge's decision is cited by law review articles. Often those two will go hand in hand - if cited by numerous courts, chances are a decision will be cited by numerous law review articles - a sign that the judge has made some type of impact in the legal universe. Here, for instance, is a small list of the top top top who's who of cited/respected jurists.
Perhaps a criteria building off of Berian's, something like a notable judge will have authored at least X decisions (10?) that have been positively cited by a state's highest court, a federal appellate court, or SCOTUS, or has been cited in a law review article.
I know Lexis and Westlaw have means of tracking most court citations, and also law review articles; not sure if a free service does the same. Leglamp123 (talk) 17:48, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Leglamp123: I don't think CourtListener.com is usable as a source. My understanding is that it is user-generated content, like a wiki, and not fact-checked. BD2412 T 19:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @BD2412 - CourtListener, like PACER, Westlaw, Lexis, or the actual bound printed legal reporter casebooks in law libraries they make 1st year law students use, publishes court decisions (which are, as you know, a government public record and gold-standard source). The court decisions themselves are the actual source, and each appellate court decision, and some trial decisions, have both a court docket number and a reporter citation (e.g. the 2000 SCOTUS case Bush v. Gore is docket number 2000-949 and is cited as 531 U.S. 98, or 121 S. Ct. 525, or 148 L. Ed. 2d 388, or 2000 U.S. LEXIS 8430). It is the court decisions themselves that are the source, not the publisher of the court decision (anyone can access and publish a public record, so there are thousands of court decision publishers). The publisher is not important - they all do the same thing - the important thing / source is the court decision, which absolutely is a source, and is referred to by the reporter citation (e.g. 531 US 98 (2000)), and usually not by the publisher (e.g. use the 531 US 98 citation to refer to Bush v. Gore, not a link to CourtListener. Leglamp123 (talk) 22:58, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
What little content we have at CourtListener does not seem to indicate such a status. BD2412 T 00:38, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @BD2412 - Can you please clarify what you mean when you say that "CourtListener ("CL") wiki does not seem to indicate such a status?" I'm not sure I understand. If you're saying the CL wiki is not complete and should be updated for completeness because it does not include my opinion that it is a publisher of reported opinions, I don't have an opinion, except to note the wiki you referenced does state, in a bullet point, that CL provides, among other things, more than 3 million judicial opinions. If you're saying that you disagree with my statement that CL is a publisher of reported judicial opinions, please explain (a) why you believe same; and (b) how you reconcile your belief that CL does not publish judicial opinions against the fact that CL has massive quantities of cited, reported, published opinions. Thanks! Leglamp123 (talk) 01:02, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia's content on CourtListener, in full, is "CourtListener, is an open source software project to archive and host court documents". Hosting court documents does not make a source reliable with respect to the notability of judges, or indeed with respect to their biographical data. I have used CL plenty as a way to find items of information from which to track down reliable sources about judges, but never as a source for articles on the subjects themselves. BD2412 T 01:22, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya @BD2412 - perhaps I've not been clear enough. I am not suggesting CL is a source in and of itself - who cares about CL? - I am suggesting that the court documents themselves (e.g. reported opinions) are a reliable source with respect to, and probably a key factor in determining, the notability of the judges. The reported opinions - regardless of where hosted - is what makes a judge notable in the world of judicial opinions, particularly when cited by other judicial opinions and academic journals. IMO a judge with notable reported opinions meets the notability requirement (similar to WP:PROF) even though the judges' biographies might not be the subject of secondary sources. Leglamp123 (talk) 01:39, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The opinions themselves are primary source documents. I don't consider CL as a source for the notability of those opinions (they might be the most notable opinions realtive to that judge, but that does not make them notable cases relative to cases generally). Are there reliable secondary sources that write of the notability of this subject's work? BD2412 T 01:47, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya @BD2412 - I guess my point is, a reliable secondary source is another judicial opinion that cites and references the primary source that is judge's original opinion. Particularly when the court that is citing the original opinion is a higher level court than the judge's court.
One needs to cross reference a judge's opinions to see which other court opinions refer to it and if it is referred to by scholarly articles or notes.
For example, Judge Schwartz's opinion in MORTGAGE ELECT. REGISTRATION v. Revoredo, 955 So. 2d 33 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2007), was cited by:
Judge Schwart's opinion in MORTGAGE ELECT. REGISTRATION v. Revoredo was a notable contribution to American law; confirmation of said notability comes from citations by multiple states' supreme courts, appellate courts, and citations from scholarly articles/notes.
If a judge has a number of similarly notable opinions, I think it makes her/him notable as a judge. Leglamp123 (talk) 03:23, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I see a consensus to Delete this page. I'm less sure about a future DAB page but since on the current page "improper" is being used as an adjective to modify a noun and not article subjects, I think that potential is dim. Liz Read! Talk! 03:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTDICTIONARY applies This is not a disambiguation page though it looks like one at first sight.The draft was accepted at AFC by a sockpuppet - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Harttyny which is rather disappointing all round. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 23:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as unambiguous WP:NOTDICTWP:PTM. There's no plausible reason for those article titles to be included in a disambiguation page. This could also be a borderline WP:A3, since it could be argued that the "disambiguation" links function as a "See Also" section. The WordsmithTalk to me 01:31, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Updating my vote since PTM is more applicable per Joy. I could have sworn I made this edit earlier, but it must have been swallowed up by an edit conflict. There's no need to have a disambiguation page here, since it isn't ambiguous and nobody would look up the word "Improper" expecting to find any of these articles. The only thing someone searching is likely to be looking for would be the dictionary definition. The WordsmithTalk to me 18:32, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't presume to know what readers want. This page was created recently, so we don't have any meaningful data yet, but you can compare it with the similar case of Proper: it was viewed 200 times last month [15], and the two entries that received the most clicks were for the two very involved maths topics of Proper space and Proper map [16]. – Uanfala (talk) 11:49, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    The existence of the page doesn't preclude comparison to the search results, though, they're still visible at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?fulltext=1&search=improper&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 --Joy (talk) 08:43, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep a not-unreasonable disambiguation page. Why is NOTDICT relevant? There's no definition anywhere on the page. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:38, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I can't see why NOTDIC is relevant here. WP:PTM, on the other hand, may look applicable, but that's only apparent (this happens often with dab pages that are more naturally cast as disambiguating an adjective; it will become a bit clearer why PMT doesn't apply if you reword the entries so that they describe nouns, e.g. instead of "Improper integrals" you have "the characteristic of an integral that is improper"). – Uanfala (talk) 12:59, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • We need someone to properly (heh) analyze whether the list entries use "improper" in a way that would satisfy WP:PTM or not. In some cases it's the "new" in "New York" and in some cases it's the "york". For example, improper input validation is a case of the former, because nobody would be searching for "what's improper" and expect to see this - rather this list item would be more appropriate at input validation instead. --Joy (talk) 14:34, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I went through and removed some of the more obvious cases, and tagged one redirect for discussion. The rest seems potentially dubious as well. --Joy (talk) 19:07, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's not formatted properly as a disambiguation page, but that's easily fixable and obviously what the creator was going for. This is a disambig page regardless of current structure and, considering the amount of potential articles for it to point to (which I suspect what's there currently is only a portion of the total possibilities), it's a disambig page that is sorely needed. SilverserenC 18:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This was created as a set index in 2007, someone tried to blank it in 2010, and in 2013 someone dropped everything as partial title matches and converted it to a redirect. That redirect was deleted in 2015 through Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2015 December 29#Improper. Then a set index was re-created this month. If it was completely non-existent for far longer than it has been in existence, then it can't be sorely needed. Maybe the search engine was serving the average readers well enough. --Joy (talk) 07:16, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per above. NYC Guru (talk) 12:30, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Can anyone give an example of a reasonable search where you would type "improper" alone and expect to be shown any of these options? Most of them aren't even bold text on the page they link to. For example, "improper noun" links to Proper noun, but that article uses "common noun" as the other category. "improper motion" links to a bit of historical trivia on Proper motion. Then there's Improper rotation, which is indeed an article title, but "improper" isn't the key part here - all the other names for this are words like "rotation-reflection". "Improper part" is found nowhere on Mereology; it looks like the useful term is "improper subset", and I hope we can agree that no one using set theory is likely to remember the word "improper" but forget the word "set". It looks like this is a disambiguation page set up to house a bunch of links that would not likely survive an RfD. -- asilvering (talk) 23:19, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    This parallels the case of "Proper" noted above: it seems implausible to us that readers would be using such a search term, but it turns out that they do in fact use it when seeking several involved maths topics. – Uanfala (talk) 15:45, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: WP:PTM... there's no reason to expect to use this to search for these terms. UtherSRG (talk) 13:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Impropriety is everywhere and does not require a long list of partial match "disambiguations". Mangoe (talk) 03:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Create Impropriety as a dab like User:Drapetomanic/Impropriety and redirect there Drapetomanic (talk) 03:43, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    But that really is WP:DICTDEF. -- asilvering (talk) 04:24, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If it only meant one of the linked things you'd redirect there, right? But it means more than one, so a dab is appropriate Drapetomanic (talk) 06:02, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No, we don't make an exception to WP:DICTDEF for words that have multiple meanings. Given the variability of the English language, that would mean we'd be duplicating a significant proportion of wiktionary. -- asilvering (talk) 10:39, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Please provide evidence of "we don't make an exception for words that have multiple meanings" Drapetomanic (talk) 15:33, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    How could I possibly do that? There is no stated exception, so there is no evidence of not having the stated exception. There would only be evidence if we did have an exception. -- asilvering (talk) 19:48, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    DICDEF applies to articles, not redirects. A dab is what happens when there are multiple possible targets of a redirect. Drapetomanic (talk) 21:07, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What multiple targets? Maybe Etiquette (which is the target of Propriety), but that's about it. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:10, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, ASilvering and Onel5969 put it well, it's not a useful redirect because it's just a common adjective that no reasonable person would use alone in a search. Elemimele (talk) 22:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:PTM. The same problem exists with impropriety: there are no bands, songs, places, etc. with that name alone. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:09, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Serious WP:CRYSTAL issues here, as the most Gates has done is acquire land without turning over a single shovelful of dirt. Could be recreated in the event of actual construction, but right now it's a press-release palace and not a reality. It's extremely common for failed projects of this type to buy up property and then sell it all off, so I don't count the current coverage as notable even if some of it isn't local (and that latter, from Seattle, is local for him, and is just routine "don't build anything" response mongering anyway).
