ISA World Junior Surfing Games Ecuador[edit]

This article is ostensibly about a junior surfing competition held in Ecuador in 2009, yet it barely mentions the event (and would not be titled that way anyway). Instead, the article is a collection of scattered facts about Surfing in Ecuador, which an article already exists for. There also seems to be a lot of WP:OR, not to mention that the "Surfing in Ecuador" section is plagiarized from the article of the same name. JTtheOG (talk) 01:16, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence that any of the sources are both independent and reliable. It really doesn't matter what the subject says about itself and no matter how many sources mention it or quote its contributor, that still doesn't make for notability.

  • Delete: The WP:REFBOMBing is a strong indication that there are no references that have all three of the qualities we require. Fails WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I increased (and then, following the advice of another Wikipedia editor, decreased somewhat) the number of references so as to address the concern raised in the earlier (2021) deletion discussion. I don't think what I've engaged in is "refbombing." The refbombing page warns against citing esteemed sources in vague ways so as to create the illusion of notability. I didn't do that. Rather, I directly quote the New York Times calling Daily Nous "a popular philosophy news website" and cite Inside Higher Ed and The Baffler similarly. The references currently numbered 8-18 are specifically identified as examples of citations to Daily Nous in popular and academic writing, so as to substantiate the specific claims made in the text about how Daily Nous is used by others.
    Let me add here something I said in another discussion, in case it is useful. I had previously included among the references a Quillette article that was mainly about a Daily Nous discussion. I see that this reference was removed by an editor in June because Quillette is not considered reliable; however, Quillette was not being cited to establish any particular fact; rather, it was cited as an example of an article about Daily Nous. I would argue for reinserting that reference.
    More generally, as someone who doesn't do much on Wikipedia, I'll admit that I may be unfamiliar with some of its norms. But I would appreciate it if others refrained from making unsavory assumptions about the character of my actions . I'm putting forward a good faith effort to follow the rules and standards here in regard to a subject that I think is appropriate for a Wikipedia page. If I'm mistaken about that, so be it. But I'm not trying to trick anyone with misleading descriptions or illegitimate or too many references. Justin Weinberg (talk) 16:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The sources provided don't show that the subject passes WP:NCORP, the relevant notability guideline. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 16:14, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Despite a large number of references, they all appear to be either passing mentions or primary sources. I couldn't access a few of the paywalled sources; however, these are all supporting the claim that Daily Nous has been cited by writers and media outlets... and by scholars, which strongly implies that the references contain only passing mentions to the website. Happy to be corrected by anyone with access the these sources; until then, this fails GNG. WJ94 (talk) 16:23, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "...however, these are all supporting the claim that Daily Nous has been cited by writers and media outlets... and by scholars, which strongly implies that the references contain only passing mentions to the website." That's correct. Those references (currently numbered 8-18) are only there to support the claim about how material at Daily Nous is used by others. With the exception of #11, they are not substantially about Daily Nous. Justin Weinberg (talk) 16:39, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for the clarification. As the creator of the article (and, judging by your username, the editor of the blog), do you know of any additional references which discuss the blog in the level of detail required by our notability policy? WJ94 (talk) 17:38, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I'm the editor of Daily Nous. I haven't checked for new articles lately, but there's this: https://archive.ph/20230503004909/https://quillette.com/2023/05/02/philosophys-gender-taboo-takes-cete/ and this: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2017/05/transracialism-article-controversy.html .
    There may also be some academic works that do so but it may take me a few days to get the chance to look through them Justin Weinberg (talk) 19:12, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lanham: Rowman & Littlefield. pp. 123-140 (2022), Demetriou (a philosophy professor) calls Daily Nous "a major philosophy industry blog." Roscopcoaltrain (talk) 19:24, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I might as well recycle what I said the last time around: It is a high-profile website within the philosophy community (and is even cited in the more formal literature), but finding secondary sources about it and its history might be difficult. The academic citations to it, the mentions the news [1][2], and its use in 189 pages here all suggest that we should say something about it. In other words, it's plausible that a reader will come across the name of the website and want to know what kind of website it is, and we'd be serving the public interest if we had a few lines on the topic. Is there a viable merge target? University of South Carolina#Media seems like an odd fit, but not impossible. Category:Philosophy blogs doesn't have a main article, but if it did, this article could become a section in it. XOR'easter (talk) 22:38, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The Wikipedia search results that XOR'easter provided show that the blog is useful as a source of philosopher obituaries and academic industry news, but as a subject it does not appear to be notable enough for an article. I would say this is one of many blogs that are well run and useful but not notable. I also tend to think of this in terms of WP:NOTDIRECTORY: Wikipedia is not a directory of blogs, and there's nothing that makes this article more than a directory listing, nothing worth saying or reading about the article's subject. Biogeographist (talk) 18:09, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This site is subject-specific notable to folks interested in academic philosophy. I would further submit for consideration that the notability criteria are perhaps being here applied with unusual stringency because the article was created – albeit, entirely transparently – by its editor. As far as I am concerned, however, WP:IAR trumps WP:WIKILAWYERING any day. The only people who find this will be people explicitly looking for it. (I have never met or communicated with the editor, nor have I ever published anything on the site except – I genuinely can't remember – perhaps to comment on someone else's contribution.) The number of mentions in major journalistic outlets and peer-reviewed journals establishes SSN even if no major publication has devoted a feature to the existence of the site. Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 00:23, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@PatrickJWelsh: said: This site is subject-specific notable to folks interested in academic philosophy. Well, that's easily refuted: I'm very interested in academic philosophy, and I don't see how Daily Nous passes the relevant SNGs; furthermore, there is no SNG "to folks interested in academic philosophy"—WP:ORG or WP:WEB would be the relevant SNGs. The number of mentions in major journalistic outlets and peer-reviewed journals establishes SSN: no, according to the guidelines, quantity of mentions is not the criterion. And I don't think the accusation of wikilawyering is helpful here: show us some qualifying coverage of the subject or award for the subject and I'll change my !vote; there's no "unusual stringency" here. Biogeographist (talk)
I guess I would just like to see this decision argued first in terms of the value (or the contrary) to potential readers and only second in terms of WP:ACRONYMs. (No disrespect to anyone involved, all of whom seem genuinely to be contributing to the discussion in good faith—only querying whether we are all starting with the right question.)
I take myself here to be echoing XOR'easter.
That said, this is not a hill upon which I care to die.
Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 01:56, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good question; I don't currently see the value of it for readers. I think someone said it well in the previous deletion discussion: if we don't have good sources, what could we really say about the blog that its about page doesn't? Apparently nothing, but I'd be happy to see someone show otherwise if possible. Biogeographist (talk) 02:34, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, everything here is subject to deletion if not sourced, which is not the case on the site's "About" page. Likewise, any unflattering coverage could be expected to be reported here in a way that it probably would not on the site.
I'm not claiming this is a knock-down argument. At present, however, this article is just an overly sourced, innocuous stub. I stand by my vote in favor of leaving it be. It would be nice to be able to Wikilink to the article if the site were ever used as a source for other articles (which it probably already is). Also, if the site publishes anything independently worthy of coverage, it would be good to have a base from which to elaborate.
I've added a banner flagging it as created by someone with a close connection to the subject and also inviting criticism along this line on the talk page. That's where I would leave it.
Cheers, Patrick J. Welsh (talk) 16:40, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we cite something on Daily Nous (which we conceivably might, per WP:SPS), we could link to an article here in ways that we can't link to an About page over there. We can also include negative information that their About page wouldn't (say, if a particular story they run draws a lot of controversy). And we can keep track of changing information in ways that they might not bother to, e.g., changes of editorship. XOR'easter (talk) 21:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: it's a shame that there aren't more sources discussing the blog, but at this point there isn't much to support a full encyclopedia article. If there are sources available, an article could be made for Justin Weinberg himself and Daily Nous mentioned there, or it could be merged into University of South Carolina#Media per XOReaster. Are there any other possible merge locations? I think information on this somewhere would be useful for readers, even if it doesn't have its own standalone article. Shapeyness (talk) 18:04, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Shapeyness I take this comment in good faith and don't mean to aim my reply at you specifically, but at this line of thinking in general: this weird sleight-of-hand we often do to try to find the most plausible redirect target when there really isn't anything reasonable is something we do for nonsense bureaucracy reasons and not out of good editorial sense. People are far more likely to be looking up Daily Nous than they are to be looking up Justin Weinberg. (Sorry @Justin Weinberg - but you'd agree, right?) Almost certainly no one will find themselves thinking "hm, what was that philosophy blog called, that one that's hosted by the University of South Carolina?" I'm all for condensing topics into one article where that's really the best way to handle them, but this ain't it. -- asilvering (talk) 00:31, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    No problem asilvering. I get your point but I think I disagree. People are probably more likely to search for Daily Nous than Justin Weinberg yes (and definitely University of South Carolina media!), but those people are no less well-served by a redirect which takes them directly to a section that contains the information they're looking for in a broader article. Indeed, they may be better served. If, for example, searches for the Daily Nous were redirected to a section in an article on Justin Weinberg, now readers are no longer just getting a few sentences on how the Daily Nous is a popular and well-regarded philosophy blog with citations in and outside of academia, they are also getting some background information on the editor of that blog, his expertise and work etc. This could be included in this article, except for the fact that there is little information on the blog itself to include and the article would end up disproportionately leaning towards details about Weinberg himself. I would also like to disagree that this is all merely bureaucratic - how and where to present information is an ordinary editorial decision that all encyclopedias must make. And many encyclopedias do have "redirects" whose entries merely point readers to another broader subject. I don't see any problem doing the same here given the lack of information which could very easily be included elsewhere. Shapeyness (talk) 09:50, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh, I have no issue with redirects. It's redirects to the "smaller" topic (eg Weinberg) that I find bizarre. -- asilvering (talk) 23:48, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As mentioned above in comments, this is a well-known source that we may well cite in Wikipedia articles, and it is helpful for readers to have an article, even a stub, to be wikilinked to. The references on the article clearly demonstrate notability in the normal (ie, non-wikipedia-specific) usage of the term; I doubt you'll find many people in academic philosophy who haven't heard of it. I don't find "not enough information for an encyclopedia article" to be a persuasive argument, since stubs exist both here and in traditional encyclopedias. -- asilvering (talk) 00:22, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - as the nom, I am not sure my view will be enough to swing this from a quiet no consensus. But looking at the sources, there are four proposed.
  1. There is no consensus on reliabilility of All Music [4] at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. The piece is a short bio. If this was generated off a publicity drive it wouldn't be independent. I am not convinced it is significant. I don't believe this one counts towards SIGCOV.
  2. [5] appears to be a Wordpress blog, and I am not familiar with it. However, it lists 4 staff writers which may speak to an editorial process. All the same, the review here does not come from a staff writer, although they have provided a number of the reviews and one might guess based on names that they could be related to a staff writer. I don't believe this meets SIGCOV threshold.
  3. [6] Cross Rhythms is specialist in the sub culture, but reliable. Except that Stephen Curry's review there has a disclaimer: "The opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those held by Cross Rhythms". That suggests a submitted review.
  4. [7] I don't know this site, but there are a lot of reviews and effort has been taken over it. They don't describe their editorial poilciy, but I note that they tak review submissions: [8] saying "let us review your Music." If they only review aftter a review submission, then the review is not independent.
So in summary, I am not sure any of these count towards SIGCOV, but even if we let Cross Rhythms pass, we would not be in multiple territory. The fact is that anyone touring the Christian Music circuit will solicit and thus garner a few reviews in Christian music sites, but these are not the sources that demonstrate notability per WP:MUSICBIO. What we need is an independent publication that sat up and took notice. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:03, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree with @Oaktree b: as all of the sources I provided are reliable sources. The three christian music sources are listed as reliable at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian music/Sources and AllMusic is regarded as reliable by most music editors hence its inclusion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Sources. Also. it no longer seems to have an entry at the perennial sources list. In any case the fact that the artist charted on a non-genre Billboard chart should give him some leeway in my opinion,imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:19, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also regarding WP:NMUSIC he clearly passes criteria 2 with a charting on a national music chart particularly one that is not genre specific. Also I don't see any mention that genre specific reliable sources should be ignored or not counted, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All Music is still there. See WP:ALLMUSIC. No consensus on reliability doesn't mean it is unreliable, but those who advocate for it tend to argue that substantial reviews by staff writers are what count as notable. This is not a substantial review, and it appears to be by a singer and not a staff writer. Thus I don't think that one is notable. What I said is not all about the reliability or otherwise of the sites. I took the time to explain why I don't think those can be used for SIGCOV based on the specific reviews. MUSICBIO specified a country's national chart as being a determiner for a presumption of notability. Number 11 on a specialist chart for new and developing acts is not sufficient. But really what it comes down to is whether there is sufficient material to write an article about this artist. He has released two EPs in the last 10 years, and that is all. This does not look like a notable singer to me. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:52, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a novelist, screenwriter and television story editor has been tagged as needing more citations since 2007, and as an unreferenced BLP since March this year. His name makes it difficult to search for him, but I have carried out WP:BEFORE using his name plus "Geale" (alternative name given in article), the names of his books and the name of his collaborator. I can't find any sources to support the article. I therefore don't think he meets WP:NWRITER, WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. (Included in deletion sorting lists for Colombia because the article says he lives there, and for the UK because I think he is British, or at least went to university in the UK.)

I am nominating "Lehi-Nephi", also known as the "Land of Nephi" for deletion. It does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Specifically, it has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Also, as it was only ever mentioned in the Book of Mormon itself, and there is no generally-accepted correlation between Book of Mormon lands and known geographical locations, it is unlikely to ever receive any further coverage. Lastly, it has had a "Religious text primary" tag up since 2011(!) without any notable improvement in that timeframe. Trevdna (talk) 23:33, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't agree, because we have a separate article on Moldavian dialect, and someone putting "Moldovan language" in the search bar might be looking for that. Moldovan language should be a disambiguation page if we decide not to keep the article.—S Marshall T/C 20:49, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If they search "language" trying to look up the dialect, they are simply doing a wrong search. I don't agree with this analogy. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 10:19, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no clear border between language and dialect, so it's a reasonable thing to have a disambiguation for. //Replayful (talk | contribs) 09:34, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get what you mean. This could be appliable on cases for language varieties that are sometimes regarded as languages. An example could be, IDK, Bavarian language. However the Romanian spoken in Moldova is just the same as the one spoken in the rest of Romania and it is universally regarded as Romanian by linguists. It does not even constitute a variety of its own, the Romanian in north of Moldova has more in common with the Romanian spoken in the north of Western Moldavia than with the Romanian spoken in the south of Moldova. This all at least to traditional linguistic views.
Someone wanting to look up the Romanian dialect, spoken both in the Republic of Moldova and in Romania's Western Moldavia, will look it up as "dialect" (grai in Romanian). Someone wanting to look up the artificial political concept argued to be spoken in the Republic of Moldova will look it up as "language" (limbă in Romanian; this last one is self-fullfilling because people who believe Moldovan is a language will really stress on calling it as such). If they switch things up, they simply are confused about the concepts. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We have a fair amount of articles with similar scopes. Moldovenism is another. To sum it up quickly, Moldovenism consists on the notion that Moldovans are an ethnic group of their own with their own language. Perhaps a merge between these articles is possible in the future, but if this article is kept, I think the current title is pretty appropriate. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 19:48, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, that's a good point and context. Maybe there's some work to do in working out the relations between these many article. That could indeed lead to a merge (or multiple). As long as the source-supported content is generally covered somewhere, I'm fine with any outcome/reorganization. //Replayful (talk | contribs) 20:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should wait for Transnistria to derecognize the language or for it to stop existing and for Moldova to unite with Romania. If you'd like to have the non-nationalistic version of this message, just wait for the first one. Having no entities recognising it will give us much room to maneuver. Otherwise it's harder to argue against the article's existence. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, rename - I'm definitely against deletion, and I'm not sure if a merge to Controversy over ethnic and linguistic identity in Moldova is really the correct choice. If we want to avoid confusion between Romanian language, Moldavian dialect, and this article, I propose a rename to Romanian language in Moldova, leaving the current page as a disambiguation.  Frzzl  talk; contribs  14:38, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are other cases where a language officially recognized by a state as a separate language is not too different linguistically from another (e.g. Montenegrin language). But linguistic criteria are different, and political status in itself creates enough notability. Suitskvarts (talk) 14:52, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:GNG, doesn't pass any WP:SNG. Sources cited are mostly referring to Diamondz Africa (his brand) and not him specifically. No significant coverage and promotional puff. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The short version: There is no evidence whatever of satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as none of the cited sources is substantial coverage of Derick Chimebere. Also all of them are all either avowedly telling us Derick Chimebere's opinions or else written in such glowingly promotional terms as to cast doubt on their being independent sources, with several of them having all the appearance of press releases.


The longer version: I have checked all of the references in the article, and they are as follows:
1: https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/07/30/diamondz-africa-reveals-secret-behind-acceptance
An article telling us what Derick Chimebere says about his own company. Neither an independent source nor significant coverage of him.
2: https://thenationonlineng.net/entertainers-doing-most-for-economy-diamondz-africa-ceo/
A three sentence account of what Derick Chimebere says about actors and entertainers. Neither an independent source nor significant coverage of him, nor in this case even of his company.
3: https://independent.ng/how-we-have-sustained-diamondz-africa-brand-chimebere/
A page about Derick Chimebere's company, which is full of such language as "truly outstanding and original craftsmanship", "the most magnificent jewellery possible", etc etc, and which uses the word "we" in its headline. Neither an independent source nor significant coverage of him.
4: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/03/celebrity-jeweler-diamondz-africa-vows-to-maintain-quality/
Again, about his business, not him, and again full of such language as "providing customers with just the greatest service", etc etc.
5: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/diamondz-africa-becomes-choice-of-highly-profiled-celebrities/
Another page on the same website as the last one, and very much the same in character.
6: https://leadership.ng/celebrity-jewelery-brand-diamondz-africa-becomes-toast-of-all/
Much the same again: glowing praise, including a quote from Derick Chimebere, about his business, not him.
7: https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/02/after-berbiedoll-diamondz-africa-may-unveil-more-brand-ambassadors/
Yet another page on the same website as numbers 4 & 5, and again similar in nature.
8: Another copy of the same citation as number 3.
9: https://tribuneonlineng.com/diamondz-africa-winner-of-best-jewellery-brand-award/
An announcement that Derick Chimebere's company has won an award. I have no idea whether it's a significant award or just an industry promotional award, but in any case the announcement contains only two brief mentions of Derick Chimebere as the owner of the company, not substantial coverage of him, and it is full of language such as "exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewellery", "captured the hearts of those who seek the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication", etc etc.
10: https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2023/09/03/diamondz-africa-wins-jewelry-brand-of-the-year-at-scream-all-youth-awards-23
Again, an announcement of an award to the company; again, only brief mentions of the owner of the company; again full of glowing language such as "dazzling the world with its exquisite jewelry creations and cementing its place as a jewelry brand that truly embodies the spirit of excellence".
11: https://editor.guardian.ng/arts-2/4-star-awards-diamondz-africa-shines-emerges-as-best-jewelry-brand/
Another announcement of the same award as number 9 and similar in character.
12: https://guardian.ng/news/scream-awards-calls-for-nomination-as-10th-edition-beckons/
No mention whatsoever of either Derick Chimebere or his company.

  • Delete per nom and per same reasoning I gave when I PROD the article earlier. A lot of references in the article but all are passing mentions or don't assume any notability onto this individual. No accomplishments in the tennis world that would make her meet WP:NTENNIS, and no independent sources establish WP:GNG either. Adamtt9 (talk) 17:00, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please take a look at the feature article in Latina Style Magazine, a national publication since the 1990s, where Gonzalez is featured together with astronaut Ellen Ochoa and Dr. Elena Rios of the NHMA. Also take a look at the information regarding the International Tennis Club of the USA and its Avory Cup matches against the Great Britain select team. This is an international competition on par with Beier Ko's Fed Cup. The reference to Xavier, who is her brother, is simply because an editor requested a cite for that mention--don't now turn and use that against her. Where is the good faith? Also, it doesn't compute that you consider the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award as a trivial award--it certainly is more significant than an award given by a single conference (as in the case of Kristy Borza). The Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award is a national collegiate award. Same goes for the coSIDA Academic All District. Again, applying the WP:NTENNIS standard is not the appropriate standard as that is for professional players, not for collegiate players. Not even Kristy Borza, who has a Wikipedia page, meets that standard. Nor does Grant Solomon, who has a wikipedia page, meet that standard Not even does Beier Ko meet that standard--ITF tournaments (which are one level down from Challenger tournaments, which are one level down from WTA and ATP tournaments) do not meet the test of WP:TENNIS. The proper standard to apply to all of the previous persons is the collegiate standard. Morevoer, wikipedia policy is clear that the Sports Threshold is not meant to raise the bar for general notability-- in the case of Gonzalez, you have not taken into account that she is a Fulbright Scholar and her anti-smoking advocacy work with teenagers. Finally, you have failed to take into consideration that she comes from the Bolivian-American community, and there has never before been a student-athlete from that community that has served as a team captain for a varsity athletic team in the history of Harvard University. Let me be clear: I believe that each of Kristy Borza, Beier Ko and Grant Solomon are deserving of a wikipedia page. But by that measure, so is Natasha Gonzalez. A final note: you say the sources mention her accomplishments in passing. If one is awarded the Fulbright Scholarship, doesn't that speak for itself? Isn't there a presumption that that is notable.?So even a mention in passing establishes that.
Look, the accomplishments speak for themselves. If you want more or better sources, give me time to come up with them. Why the hurry to blow up the page? Xavier Serif (talk) 04:36, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Can you point to the source that says she's a Fullbright Scholar? None of the ones listed show that, that I can see anyway. Oaktree b (talk) 15:20, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I initially tagged the article as a WP:G11; it was declined. I then moved the article to draft for pretty much the same reasons the draft was declined, i.e., lack of sourcing. Although the author submitted the draft to AFC (without doing much beforehand, although they had said they were going to add sources to the admin who declined the G11 - they obviously didn't like the rejection and recreated the article (instead of moving the draft to article space on their own, so now we have two iterations of this page)).

  • Keep - no comment on the author’s behaviour, but I think it’s a keep, [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. I’ve not done a book search, but pretty sure it’ll have a mention somewhere. I agree it’s woefully sourced currently, but the tower’s age, its status as the only complete surviving such tower in Perugia, and the fact that it’s been the subject of scientific research suggest that it’s notable.

It appears that you have mostly been editing this page - if I have that correct, I think you need to improve the way you use references. The whole point of referencing on en.wiki is to give an opportunity for other readers to find the sources for the information.

  • Delete, while this is nicely-researched, it's heavily dependent on primary sources, and is indistinguishable from private genealogical research such as might be carried out by a family member. In fact the only secondary sources are indeed written by family members. Much as I love the individual touch of history, we need something in depth, and written by someone unconnected with the family, to indicate that this is appropriate for Wikipedia rather than a proper genealogy site.

    Never mind. Just go ahead and delete the article if you really think it's that bad. I have been a member of Wikipedia for about five years and have made 100 edits, but I have never been able to write an article about a historic figure that I just so happen to be related to.

This too difficult and it's ridiculous how hard it is to write a simple little article. 4 Quinnbradlee (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I just compare and contrast with me. I was administrator for my church for several years. I happened to ring the bell for numerous church services, was married out of that church, ran and promoted a weekly concert program (for which I had a feature interview by the local newspaper), and that's pretty much all of the things that the subject did ... none of which are notable. (I didn't petition anyone to sell cider, but I was also an elected town official.) It's regrettable that the article creator feels hard done by that Wikipedia has policies and guidelines regarding article creation, but those standards are in place all the same.

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

Apart from the notability problem tagged on the article itself, it is also a copyright problem, since it was created by a copy-and-paste move from Draft:Krithika Nelson to Krithika Nelson.

A quick WP:BEFORE didn't turn up any possible sources that are simultaneously published, reliable, secondary, and independent of the subject. —Wasell(T) 🇸🇪♡🇺🇦 14:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is no copyright problem. The draft was created by the same editor as the article, and there is no content in the article needing attribution to anyone else who edited the draft. Also, even if there were content needing attribution, it would be easy to history-merge the draft into the article, so it still wouldn't be a problem. JBW (talk) 09:58, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Don't Delete: Hi, I understand the notability problem to some extent but doubt that there is an issue of copyright. Both the Draft: Krithika Nelson and Krithika Nelson articles were created/written by me. So I essentially copy-and-pasted by own work, which I do not find a problem with as the creator of the first article.
Also, the subject has been mentioned in quite a few other Wikipedia articles and backlinked to here. Her body of work is also reasonably extensive. There are quite a few interviews (both on Youtube and across various other publications) where she has discussed biographical information. Unfortunately another editor removed them as being unreliable sources. Let me get those back into the article and we can get a better picture of her work in the Tamil film industry.

Does not meet requirements of WP:CORP. Coverage is routine churnalism about funding. SmartSE (talk) 10:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello SmartSE,
I am writing to address your proposed deletion of the company page for Grafterr, a cloud-based software company with offices in Edinburgh, Scotland, and London, England. I believe that the proposed deletion is a mistake, and I would like to provide reasons why the page should not be deleted.
Notability and Significance: Grafterr is a software company that has made significant contributions to the field of cloud-based point of sale in the Uk and I have provided all the news and magazines articles published in this context. The company's presence in two major cities, Edinburgh and London, indicates its regional importance in the technology sector.
Coverage of Corporate Information: While the deletion proposal suggests that the coverage of Grafterr is routine journalism about funding, it's essential to note that Wikipedia articles about companies often include information about their growth, as it is a vital aspect of their development and growth. However, I have removed this part too just to emphasize that there is no mention about funding.
Encyclopedic Value: Wikipedia serves as a valuable resource for information on a wide range of topics, including companies like Grafterr. Readers often turn to Wikipedia to learn about notable businesses, their history, and their contributions to various industries. Deleting this page would deprive users of access to valuable and reliable information.
Potential for Improvement: If there are concerns about the quality or neutrality of the article, I am open to working on improving it. Wikipedia articles are collaborative efforts, and I am willing to make the necessary edits to address any issues raised by the community.
In light of the points mentioned above, I kindly request that you reconsider the close of the proposed deletion of the Grafterr Wikipedia page. I believe that the page meets the criteria for inclusion on Wikipedia and provides valuable information to users interested in learning about this company.
The article was mistakenly flagged for focusing on the company's value and growth rather than funding, but it has since been enhanced to offer an impartial and thorough overview of Grafterr's activities, history, and influence within the technology sector. Additionally, any content related to the company's value that raised concerns has been carefully reviewed and removed to ensure compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines for neutrality and verifiability.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

A COI using ChatGPT to explain why it shouldn't be deleted is a new one here in AfD. Novel idea, but doesn't really help. Oaktree b (talk) 13:34, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Oaktree! First of all, I am sorry for using LLMs, which by the way it was Bard not ChatGPT. To be honest, I used it to help me clarify a lot of the ideas I wrote. Which I won't do again, especially since I haven't used any AI on the page itself—just edits, summaries, and comments to save time fixing the structure of comments.
As for being COI! I don't why I am being punished for following the rules and being honest? It said in Articles for Creation that I should say if I have a conflict of interest, which I did, and I did; here is a point I mentioned earlier today in my page: I work in one of the company's subsidiaries, as the company works in India, UK, and has two offices in the UK. My reason behind creating the article is simple, as I see a lot of comments and questions regarding the company on a regular basis, I figured out that it will be great to create a Wikipedia page, especially that the company changed its name recently from ePOS Hybrid to Grafterr. And this caused a lot of confusion.
I will reply to all other comments too and please let me know how can I optimize it already. Thank you. EwisEwee (talk) 10:40, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

AllyD (talk) 13:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    What you deem trivial information is actually of extremely high value to others, for example, the research piece was of extremely high value and importance to those working in the UK hospitality industry or similar verticals. Entrepreneurs are always seeking insights as this. Most of what you call them "trivial coverage" were initiated by business journalists all over Scotland.
    Grafterr has been featured in a number of printed articles in major UK publications as well, here's a few examples:
    https://i.ibb.co/h1WyWpj/01.jpg
    https://i.ibb.co/km0Frxx/02.jpg
    Grafterr have also raised over £4.5 million in private equity and crowdfunding investment. Here's two examples of large crowd funding-rising the company completed:
    https://www.crowdcube.com/companies/epos-hybrid/pitches/qr9OGb

    The Scotsman is one of the oldest and biggest newspapers in Scotland, what should be a good source? CNN? EwisEwee (talk) 20:14, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Aside from the sources discussed above, searches find a feature list and user reviews but nothing which demonstrates that this hospitality POS firm has attained notability under either its current or prior name. (And, a note for the LLM Bot: firms do not inherit notability by having offices in two notable cities.) AllyD (talk) 07:36, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe there is a misconception; first, we said that The Scotsman, Edinburgh Reporter, The National, and others are not appropriate sources despite being the largest in the Scottish economy, and then you use a very general advice website to claim that the firm POS does not achieve notability! Can you see the paradox?
    Of course, since the company gets reviews all the time, every reliable review site has changed the name from ePOS Hybrid to Grafterr; please see the following:

There is technically no loss of information as off-site Wikis already have a more detailed examination of the character. Marvel Database has every version of the character to ever exist. So, I am not worried about potentially losing the article, as plot information can always be used from there in the off chance Chameleon becomes notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:30, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to List of Marvel Comics characters: C - Being "the first and and longest recurring enemy of Spider-Man" is not a valid argument for Keeping if there is not significant coverage in reliable sources on the character. And the sources in the article are not that, being largely things that are not valid reliable sources for establishing notability such as voice actor databases or top ten churnalism lists from sources generally not considered to be WP:RS. I also did not find anything in my own searches that would help - a few very brief mentions of his role in Spider-Man's mythos, but no actual significant coverage. Good enough for a merge to the character list I'd say, not for keeping as an independent article. Rorshacma (talk) 03:36, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've analyzed the sources currently present in the article, and this is the current status on them.
The first source, discussing the Top Ten ranked Marvel Shows on IMDb (Which is already a sketchy source at best) mentions Chameleon for one sentence alongside several other characters, such as Rhino and Black Cat. The second, a top thirty list, isn't necessarily a horrible source, but it's just a glorified plot summary, and doesn't actually contain any commentary on the character. The next, a "Ten Most Iconic Spider-Man Villains" listicle, barely touches on the character at all. IGN's source, admittedly, is pretty good, containing some good commentary on the Chameleon character.
"The fact that he’s been such a mainstay of Spidey’s rogues gallery ever since is a testament to his enduring appeal. This isn’t a villain who relies on strength or brute force, but rather subterfuge and deception.... He’s a fascinating villain, and often quite scary and unpredictable as he slips into a new role."
But the IGN source is the only source in the article that's half decent, and it's a listicle to boot. I'd say it's worth mentioning should this be merged into the characters list, but there is nowhere near enough based off the current sourcing state to justify the article's existence, and from what I can gather, BEFOREs have not turned up much beyond that. I like Chameleon, but there's just not enough. Pokelego999 (talk) 23:34, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep on principal. There is nothing that bars a source from being used merely because it presents its content as a list. The only relevant questions are whether the source is independent, has an editorial policy conducive to reliability, and discusses the subject in sufficient depth. Everything else is just bias against popular culture. BD2412 T 01:42, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you even look at the sources in the article? I never said being a listicle disbarred it from being used in an article, but the fact it's the only thing that exists that shows Chameleon's notability is the kicker there. Every other source has minimal content in it, and just being mentioned doesn't make the character notable. The IGN article is good, but unless you have some other sources that haven't been seen yet, there just isn't enough out there for Chameleon. Pokelego999 (talk) 14:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In addition to sources already discussed, there is independent reliable source coverage in books about comics and pop culture, such as The Supervillain Book: The Evil Side of Comics and Hollywood,[29] 500 Comicbook Villains,[30] and The Encyclopedia of Super Villains.[31] --RL0919 (talk) 10:28, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I wouldn't presume too much about access – sometimes sites are restricted based on a vistor's location. But I can summarize: They all give broadly similar information about who created him, when he first appeared, and what story arcs he appeared in, with some other varying bits – for example, The Supervillain Book compares him to another Ditko character. They all give similar evaluations of the character: he's generally a minor villain that is notable mostly for being Spider-Man's first super-foe. But for AfD purposes the important thing is that they all thought he was interesting enough to write multiple dedicated paragraphs about him, not just a passing mention, thus providing support for notability. (As an aside for editors who are interested in working on the article, you may want to also check Understanding Superhero Comic Books: A History of Key Elements, Creators, Events and Controversies by Alex Grand, 100 Things Spider-Man Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die by Mark Ginocchio and Tom DeFalco, and Spider-Man Confidential: From Comic Icon to Hollywood Hero by Edward Gross. These all look like they might have useful information about the Chameleon character, but I don't have enough access to them to confirm whether they have enough to support notability.) --RL0919 (talk) 22:00, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you. For whatever reason, I couldn't access those pages via the previous links provided. In any case, glossing over them, 500 Comic Book Villains does have a nice blurb on him in the form of "...the Chameleon doesn't otherwise number among Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's more memorable creations." Not sure if I'm missing a bit in The Supervillain Book or not (Given that Chameleon's bit is at the edge of the page and I cannot access the page after it) but all I see there is just a summary of Chameleon's appearances. The Encyclopedia of Super-Villains is also just a glorified summary of the Chameleon character, offering no commentary other than "The Chameleon is a minor super-villain in the Spider-Man pantheon." I'm not sure how effective that is as commentary, but I suppose it exists. I'd say that, combined with the IGN article, it may barely meet the threshold for an article, but even then it is incredibly weak. Not too sure on the other book sources RL0919 listed, since I don't believe I have full access to those books either. I'm unopposed to Weak Keeping the article, should that become the consensus, but it should definitely have a notability tag at the top of the page given that his sourcing is rather weak.

    It is a well-made article, but the references are very lacking in terms of significant coverage. There is little to no information on Chameleon's development, and as stated above, there is very little in the way of actual discussion on the character. I don't know if RL0919's sources will change that, but in the article's present state, there is nothing but plot summary in the article. Plot summary does not justify a separate article.

    It is still well within the realm of AfD to determine if the subject is notable. There's no need for cleanup if nothing justifies the article's existence. If there are no sources discussing Chameleon, then his article has nothing to stand on, rewrites of the current plot summary or not. Pokelego999 (talk) 21:07, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to state that I am not a "deletionist." In the case of Chameleon, I'd love to keep the article around, but his sourcing state is incredibly weak. In any case, I don't wish to drag this debate out given the sheer number of Keep votes. I still stand by Chameleon not having a strong sourcing state, but the book sources provided by RL0919 above are barely enough to keep it around for now.

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not "inherently" notable enough for articles just because they and their music exist -- but existence is the only notability claim being attempted here, and the sourcing isn't getting him over WP:GNG: two of the four footnotes are primary sources that don't count as support for notability at all, a third comes from a limited circulation special-interest magazine that looks suspiciously more like a WordPress blog than a GNG-worthy publication of record, and the only one that comes from a clearly GNG-worthy media outlet is a single newspaper piece announcing a private house concert -- but that doesn't satisfy NMUSIC's touring criterion in and of itself, because the subject is from Manitoulin Island and the house concert was in Sudbury, which hardly consitutes evidence of a large-scale national tour. (That's like saying that a musician had passed the national tour criterion by playing a small venue in New York City while personally living in Newark.)
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have much, much more than just one piece of "almost-local guy does stuff" in one closely-adjacent-to-hometown newspaper for coverage. Bearcat (talk) 12:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While it's good to push back on this to ensure someone is notable, this guy is a real deal professional musician. Lots of secondary sources to support his notability, but keep in mind that this is a music genre that generally does not get much mainstream media attention. I'll work on adding content when I have time and I think it will be clearer to you. Mr. Mephistopheles (talk) 18:27, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Real deal professional musician" isn't a notability criterion per se (every professional musician who exists at all is, by definition, a "real deal professional musician"), and musicians are not exempted from having to have reliable source coverage to establish their notability just because their genre "does not get much media attention" — "media attention" is what "secondary sources" means, so it's inherently impossible for a person to have "lots of secondary sources" while simultaneously somehow lacking "media attention".

This artist meets the following criteria for inclusion in WP:NMUSIC "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city." He has also contributed to more than one Juno- nominated album. For these reasons the page should be kept. It is in the process of being updated to better reflect his work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boogaloo77 (talk • contribs) 23:21, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, being a contributor to a Juno-nominated album is not a Wikipedia notability criterion. Junos build notability only if Teilhard Frost was personally named as the specific nominee in a Juno category, and simply being a contributor to somebody else's album is not a notability-builder if his contributions were not directly singled out for an individual nomination given directly to him in his own right. But he has never been the recipient of a nomination in any Juno category, either as himself or as Sheesham & Lotus with or without Son — if he was ever a contributor to a Juno-nominated album (which the article, as written, fails to assert at all), then that was merely as a session musician and not as the direct personal recipient of a nomination in his own name, so he doesn't get to invoke NMUSIC #8 as evidence of notability.
Secondly, "one of the most prominent representatives..." is a criterion that absolutely every local musician could claim to pass if all they had to do was assert that they passed it — the test for passing that criterion isn't just saying that it's passed, and requires reliable source coverage in media to verify its passage. See what the introduction to NMUSIC says: "It is not enough to make unsourced or poorly sourced claims in the article, or to assert a band's importance on a talk page or AfD page – the article itself must document notability through the use of reliable sources, and no criterion listed in this page confers an exemption from having to reliably source the article just because passage of the criterion has been claimed."

As a person working on this page who is new to Wiki, I find it disheartening to try to do things in the correct format, only to have them taken down. The page was in progress, as I have noted elsewhere. The page, as it is now, does not support the work this artist has done, so readers are no longer getting an accurate sense of Teilhard Frost's work. If references need to be formatted differently, it would be helpful to change them, or to make suggestions to another editor (in this case, me) as to how they should be done. These references were chosen specifically to illustrate work the artist had done in their community and other artists they had collaborated with. As I have stated before, this artist meets the criteria of Wiki guidelines of being a known specialist in their field, in their city, but as you have pointed out, better sources need to be found. I believe those sources are out there, but finding them will take time. As a busy person, it would be good to know if there is an expected timeframe that the article should be completed by. Also, before the article is complete, it would be helpful if we could collaborate on improving it, rather than criticizing it before it is actually finished. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boogaloo77 (talk • contribs) 22:54, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am unable to find any sources in any way supporting the content of this unreferenced article. None of the linked articles of purportedly related topics (Shivaji, Maratha Empire, Sambhaji, Moropant, Jawhar, Vikramgad, etc.) make any mention of corresponding events in 1672, although this does broadly correspond to the time during which Shivaji was consolidating what would become the Maratha Empire. It is perhaps noteworthy that this is the only article on Wikipedia to use the term "Kolistan". signed, Rosguill talk 23:53, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  2. Sarkar, Jadunath (1992). Shivaji and His Times. Orient Longman. ISBN 978-81-250-1347-1.
Which would not make the article originally unsourced. If those citations are correct for events it means, WP:OFFLINESOURCES exist. Article has had what might appear to be some disruptive editing. Might be prudent to review the history of it. It would be hard to verify the sources know. Govvy (talk) 14:26, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I was able to track down a digital copy of Shivaji and His Times--it was published in 1920 (1992 edition is a reprint) and thus is a raj-era source that is typically considered unreliable. Ignoring reliability, it supports some, but not most, of the content in the article on pages 218-219.
Looking at Ganimi Kava, its title apparently translates to "Guerrilla Kava A true mastery of the world famous Maratha martial art" -- I am skeptical that this book contains reliable information about a 17th c. military occupation, and am disinclined to consider it a probable source in the absence of quotes or page numbers. signed, Rosguill talk 15:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Haven't had the opportunity to research this topic in detail, but some points for those willing to spend some time on further research:
  • Shivaji and His Times (originally published in 1920) is in public domain. A search for "Kolwan" / "Kolvan" / "Kolistan" on archive.org does not return any result. Searching for "1672" and "Koli" returns page 204 which has one sentence about the "Koli State of Ramnagar".
  • Ganimi Kava by Namdevrao Jadhav likely fails WP:RS - the author claims to be royal Maratha descent, and runs the Rajmata Prakashan (the publisher of the book).
Searching Google books for "1672 Koli Maratha" shows that the Maratha chiefs ransacked a few states ruled by Koli chiefs, sometimes on their way to another territory. So this is not a complete hoax. That said, I'm not sure if any scholarly source has discussed this in non-trivial manner as a single campaign directed towards Koli-ruled states. We may have sources that talk about Nazi invasion of countries ruled/inhabited by the Slavs, but that doesn't warrant the existence of an article titled Nazi invasion of Slavic countries unless scholarly sources have discussed the topic with that categorization in mind.

All four of the founding faculties of Heidelberg are independently notable, and possibly the non-founding faculties are as well. Here are some (German) sources that cover the Theology Faculty as their primary subject. No doubt additional coverage can be found in sources that cover the history of the university more generally.
Jfire (talk) 04:51, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Heidelberg University per WP:ATD. I agree with Jfire and Eastmain that an article is theoretically possible with this topic. However, at this point the article is so underdeveloped that it is an unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORK of the main article and should be redirected to the university page until such time as an editor expands content to the point that a separate article is warranted.4meter4 (talk) 05:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - WP:OR The only source is the the Department's website, and the University itself. Please see Search: Faculty This is but one of countless "Faculty" AFDs on Wikipedia. Refer to the recently deleted (Oct 1, 2023) Heidelberg University Faculty of Philosophy and History. This is just more of the same: a 2008 copy and paste of the German-language online dept list of the university. It tells us absolutely nothing. — Maile (talk) 12:06, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect or delete - The article as it stands is a sub-stub with no sourcing, and nothing that would indicate a pass for this under WP:ORG.

  • Keep – The above arguments for deletion are greatly deficient:
  • While I don't speak German, the German-language sources cited by Jfire would appear prima facie to suggest that the subject meets WP:GNG and WP:ORG.
  • WP:OR could not be much less relevant when the article's claims could easily be verified by one of the aforementioned sources.
  • WP:CONTENTFORK explicitly doesn't prohibit subarticles such as this one.
I would be open to hearing an argument on the basis of WP:NOPAGE; however, given the institution's history, I'm inclined to think that – once the article is fleshed out – the subject will be best covered in its own article. Graham (talk) 05:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

User:Superatp PRODed this article, but I have dePRODed and brought to AfD for discussion, as it is not clear to me whether this should be removed. The institution is purportedly 133 years old, which suggests that evidence for notability should be discoverable. As I have noted in the article, in 1948 it was the subject of an FTC case that deemed it a diploma mill, which I would consider one point of notability.

(1)The article does not meet the test for notability. As per WP:N it has not received “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.” The only third-party, reliable sources that make mention of Ekos are those that republish or refer to Ekos’ opinion polls, which are work produced by the article subject and not “independent of the subject”. No source makes significant reference to the company itself as a topic in any detail.

(2)The article does not have any reliable sources. The single only source the article has been built on is the website of Ekos, the subject company of the article itself. As per WP:RS this is self-published and not reliable.

(3)The article serves as a means of promotion. While relatively neutral in tone, the informational value of the article is to promote the service lines, locations and websites of the business. There is little to no information of encyclopedic relevance. As per WP:NOT Wikipedia is not a soapboax or means of promotion.

(4)The article's creation and editing is tainted by conflict of interest. The original creator of the article has acknowledged that they created the article in 2005 while an employee of the company (concerning in light of WP:COI). They continued to add and control edits in the years since as they remained and still remain an employee. There is evidence that at least one other regular contributor was also in a close working or personal relationship to the company and/or its ownership.

WP:SYNTHed collection of a Lebanese government statements during the 2006 Lebanon War. Noting there is no other article for the other party, so this is an WP:NPOV violation.

Keep. I think this article should remain. The 2006 Lebanon War was not between Lebanon and Israel, but between Hezbollah and Israel, so Lebanon was an injured bystander. Please note that the conflict is more correctly known as the 2006 Israel–Hezbollah War.
The article doesn't blame either of the two warring parties, but describes, in a neutral and factual way, Lebanon's attempts to achieve a ceasefire. Consequently, the argument that it violates Wikipedia's rules about NPOV doesn't hold.

The subject does not pass WP:GNG. TipsyElephant (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the reasons why it does pass WP:GNG.
  1. Significant Coverage: "Conversations with Bill Kristol" has been referenced and cited by multiple independent and reliable sources: - The Hertog Foundation, an institution dedicated to political education and leadership, has provided coverage of the program. - The Jack Miller Center, an academic organization that supports the teaching of America's founding principles and history, has also referenced the series. - The American Enterprise Institute, a well known public policy think tank, has covered topics discussed in the program. Such coverage from multiple independent and authoritative institutions demonstrates that the series is not only recognized but also considered influential in its discourse.
  2. Contribution to the Field: The show provides in-depth interviews with leading figures across a spectrum of disciplines - politics, political philosophy, history, foreign policy, economics, and culture. The depth and breadth of topics discussed make it a valuable resource for those looking for substantive and thoughtful discourse on pivotal national issues.
  3. Notable Host & Production: Bill Kristol, the host, is a recognized figure in American politics. As a founder of The Weekly Standard and a significant voice in political analysis for decades, his association lends credibility and notability to the series.
  4. Notable Guests: The program has hosted a range of prominent guests like Garry Kasparov, Anne Applebaum, Harvey Mansfield, and Larry Summers. Their participation indicates the program's standing and respect within intellectual and political circles.
  5. Duration and Frequency: The program has been running since 2014, indicating sustained interest and relevance. A biweekly release schedule further highlights its active status and ongoing contribution to public discourse.
With these points, the "Conversations with Bill Kristol" article not only meets but exceeds Wikipedia's notability standards by showcasing significant coverage in reliable sources, contribution to the field, and association with notable personalities and institutions. Dillion3384 (talk) 14:21, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi PICKLEDICAE🥒,
    Thank you for reviewing the "Conversations with Bill Kristol" article and sharing your perspective. I've made an effort to highlight its notability through evidence and sources from respected institutions, underscoring the show's significance in public discourse.
    I also wish to mention that, as time permits, I would like to expand the article to delve into individual episodes. Such expansions will provide greater context and depth, emphasizing the show's unique contribution to various discussions and debates. This would further establish its distinction from merely being an offshoot of Bill Kristol's contributions.
    If you have concerns about the article's current state or its adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines, could you please reference specific policies or provide examples?
    Best regards, Dillion3384 (talk) 13:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Bill Kristol. It seems fair to highlight on the merged page that there were some important guests and that the series had a bit of wider influence.

A lot of coverage exists which has this man's name in it, but it appears to me that 99% of it is actually just about Alanis Morissette, his wife, and is either report on their 2010 marriage or is some other tabloid nonsense following her daily life which he happens to be a part of. I found no significant coverage discussing his music. He has an AllMusic page, but it only has five of his albums, no ratings from users let alone critics, and no bio. He doesn't even have an Album of the Year listing. If his sole notability is as another person's husband, I think his name should redirect to her page instead. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 00:18, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@QuietHere I have added in some additional sources to substantiate Souleye's career outside of his marriage to Alanis Morissette. Souleye was recently profiled by one of the leading hip-hop magazines, The Source, about his lengthy musical career as an independent hip-hop artist. The magazine called him "one of the most inventive hip-hop artists of his generation." https://thesource.com/2023/03/18/with-latest-album-disguised-as-tomorrow-genre-bending-rapper-souleye-cements-legacy-as-one-of-most-inventive-hip-hop-artists-of-his-generation/
I also added in another feature profile on him by men's magazine Swagger, which focuses on his career and partnership with visual artist Rob Prior, which is here: https://www.swaggermagazine.com/entertainment/when-visual-art-and-music-collide-an-interview-with-genre-bending-hip-hop-artist-souleye-and-acclaimed-visual-artist-rob-prior/ Stevenlevine1 (talk) 20:22, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Bizarre. I was under the impression that The Source was a generally reliable publication and one of the leading hip-hop magazines as stated by QuietHere, but the profile of Souleye almost makes me inclined to believe this was some kind of sponsored piece. If not, it is abysmally poor journalism.

"Souleye is one of the most prolific, impactful and creative hip-hop artists of his generation with a staggering 12 studio albums and dozens of singles and EPs throughout his two-decade-long career." Yet I am struggling to find any critical reception? No awards, no other profiles other than this one, no tributes and shoutouts from other artists?
"His acclaimed new album, Disguised as Tomorrow, released just last month, features meditative and spiritual elements that “reflect a relaxed, introspective, reflective period after the globally traumatic experiences of the pandemic." Souleye says." An acclaimed new album with no reviews? With songs averaging a few hundred views on Youtube?

Souleye is not notable as a musician. He cannot inherit his wife's notability. What little coverage exists seems to be sponsored content/churnalism. Mooonswimmer 13:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@MooonswimmerI have identified a corpus of additional press placements pertaining to Souleye predating his marriage to Alanis Morissette, as well as some following it, such as Naluda Magazine. Several of these articles date back to the year 2003, 7 years before his relationship. Will the incorporation of these sources serve to substantiate the subject under discussion?

As the peculiar name suggests, what evidence there is indicates this is/was a rail stop and not a settlement. Looking at the Russian version, I see that it was designated a село, but even given the vague nature of the term, there's no evidence that there was or is a village/whatever there; indeed, I cannot find a feature on GMaps or anything similar which I can identify as this place. Mangoe (talk) 21:22, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm functionally illiterate in Russian, so I can't read the sources for myself, but all the article says is "This is a place in the middle of nowhere" and basically nothing else. If something important goes on there or we get more information, we can resurrect it. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 02:02, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Population of 2, which is non-zero, according to Results of the 2020 All-Russian Population Census for the Sakhalin Region, and which was probably rather more at the time the settlement was founded. Did nobody bother to look at the corresponding article in Russian (with 9 references) at ru:17-й км (Сахалинская область)? Being named after a railway kilometre-post is not a reason for deletion. Consider 100 Mile House in British Columbia, several place names at Mile End (disambiguation) and Two Mile. We have enough evidence to keep the article. Dismissing it as only a railway point is unjustified and the dreaded "original research". Google Translate's version of the Russian article.

  • Needs a brutal cleanup, a copyedit, and a couple factual corrections, but I can confirm this is a place that's categorized as an inhabited locality and previously had people living there, which is all that's needed to keep a geostub according to our geonotability criteria. Keep.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 4, 2023; 21:42 (UTC) 21:42, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - The “population” of 2 people are discussing above is entirely consistent with the staff of the railway station! If the GEOLAND standard (a guideline) is literally leading us to keep articles about non-notable railway stations in the middle of nowhere that nothing notable can be written about against WP:IINFO (a policy) then that’s a reason to doubt that GEOLAND is guiding us correctly. GEOLAND anyway only creates a presumption of notability, a presumption that is decisively rebutted by a simple reference to common sense: this is a railway station with a staff of two people. No evidence at all is presented above of it having ever been anything but this.
None of the references in the Russian language article help with this - indeed they highlight the true nature of what is being discussed: the locality had no population when it was designated a “village” in 2004, it had no population at the next census either. In 2021 the locality was recorded with a population of 2 people. “Village” status in Russia can therefore be given to locations with an official population of zero. This is therefore not a “legally recognised populated place” since it does not need to have a population to receive or keep the status. FOARP (talk) 03:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is very much a "legally recognized populated place" because a) it is listed as such in all official lists of populated places (whereas generic railway stations are not); and b) the staff of railway stations is counted at the official place of residence of the said staff (which must be at an officially recognized inhabited locality, not at a place of work like a railway station). Inhabited locality status is also never given to (yet or already) unpopulated areas (although a previously populated place with an inhabited locality status may still retain said status despite later becoming depopulated); but even then (and even after officially having been removed from record) such places would continue to meet our criteria for keeping. The 2004 law which granted this place the status of a selo was simply one that unified the types of smaller inhabited localities across the whole of Sakhalin Oblast; it was not one transforming a random railway station into a brand new populated place; "17 km" already had populated place status before that (since at least 1948, as a matter of fact). It was one of seven rural localities (5 "settlements" and 2 "stations") under jurisdiction of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk which got reclassified as selos (both "settlement" and "station" had already been legally recognized types of rural localities before; along with "village" and "selo"). Furthermore, the Law on the Administrative-Territorial division of 2011 (and the Law this one replaced) specifically clarified that supporting structures are not on their own considered to be proper inhabited localities; inhabited locality status would specifically have to be granted for that to stop being the case:
    Населённые местности, имеющие временное значение и непостоянный состав населения и (или) являющиеся объектами служебного назначения (вахтовые и дачные посёлки, железнодорожные будки, дома лесников, заимки, полевые станы, метеостанции, животноводческие стоянки, прииски, лесоучастки и другие объекты), а также одиночные дома не являются самостоятельными населёнными пунктами и числятся за теми населёнными пунктами, с которыми находятся в административных, производственно-коммерческих и социально-бытовых отношениях. (Populated territories with temporary significance and non-permanent population and (or) service objects (shift and dacha settlements, railroad cabins, foresters' houses, camps, field camps, meteorological stations, livestock camps, mines, timber plots, and other objects), as well as stand-alone houses are not considered to be inhabited localities and are registered with those inhabited localities with which they are in administrative, industrial-commercial, and social-residential relations--Article 8.4).
    Сельские населённые пункты делятся на следующие виды: 1) село; 2) посёлок; 3) станция; 4) разъезд; 5) хутор; 6) иные населённые пункты, не отнесенные к городским населённым пунктам. (Rural locality types include: 1) selo; 2) settlement; 3) station; 4) junction; 5) khutor; 6) other inhabited localities not classified as urban--Article 8.3).
    I also would like to note that assuming that just the population is 2 it means it must be "staff" is pure original research and a conjecture. The very WP:NGEO you're quoting states that [p]opulated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Even abandoned places can be notable, because notability encompasses their entire history, and there is plenty of evidence that 17 km is indeed a legally recognized place, which was populated in the past, even if it not now.
    Note also that 10 km, 14 km, 16 km, and 19 km are all bona fide "railway stations" in the immediate vicinity. None of them have or, to the best of my knowledge, ever had an official inhabited locality status or had their population recorded separately. If any of those were to be created based on the NGEO guideline alone, they would have to be immediately deleted. But 17 km is not the same at all.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 5, 2023; 04:39 (UTC) 04:39, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "Inhabited locality status is also never given to (yet or already) unpopulated areas" - sorry, but here we have an example of exactly that occurring. The population was recorded as zero in 2002 and zero in 2010 according to RU Wiki, yet it became a selo in 2004?Saying it previously had another status at another time is neither here nor there unless it is demonstrated that there was ever a real settlement at this location - 2004 is when it became a selo, which is the status you're arguing gives it legal recognition.
    If you're going to claim the place was a legally-recognised populated place in 1948, this requires evidence that you aren't producing. Instead we can see from the RU Wiki article that it was given a station-name according to a local declaration in 1947 on railway station names in the area, that it was made a "territorial unit", and then designated a crossing - none of these shows it to be populated.
    That the people who live there are railway staff is a simple logical conclusion drawn from the fact that the only buildings in the tiny area specified in the RU wiki article (0.028 km²) are railway buildings.
    Citing example of places that don't have articles is pure WP:WAX, particularly when you are arguing on the keep side - I could just as easily state that this place has no real difference to those other places other than being a zero-population line-item on the Russian census and so equally does not warrant an article.
    Finally, is anyone really surprised if Russia does not always follow its own laws? Particularly in a state where there is every benefit in exaggerating population? FOARP (talk) 08:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    It didn't "become" a selo in 2004, at least not in the sense you're implying. It was simply a change of terminology. Sakhalin Oblast recognizes a variety of terms used to refer to rural localities, but there is no difference in status between them; the terms are mostly customary or historical, and pretty much interchangeable. From NGEO's point of view, whether a place is Sakhalin Oblast is a village, a selo, a station, a junction, or a settlement does not matter; what matters that they are all officially recognized rural localities of identical status, are listed as such, and track their own population (something that's not done for, say, a railway station which does not have a rural locality status—and there are dozens of those in Sakhalin Oblast, none of which would survive an AfD based on NGEO alone).
    Whether such places currently have a population or not does not matter either; nor does their size. Per NGEO, even abandoned inhabited localities which had at some point been officially recognized warrant an article. 17 km meets every requirement for inclusion and will continue to do so forever, until the community agrees to change the NGEO guideline in a way that it no longer does. You of course already know that, so I'm not sure why you keep bringing the lack of population up.
    The 1948 establishment claim I got from the Russian Wikipedia article, yes. It lists this document as a source (which I looked at and can confirm that it says exactly that). The "territorial unit" in the 1948 context means the same as the "inhabited locality" classification in modern context; "inhabited localities" are, and always have been, a subclass of "administrative-territorial divisions" (all of which automatically meet NGEO). The "crossing"/"junction" is another term that's been historically used (and is still used) in Sakhalin Oblast to refer to one of the types of rural localities (a subclass of "inhabited localities", a subclass of "territorial units", a subclass of "administrative-territorial divisions"--it's all in the same 2011 Law I cited above). Just like with the "stations", it does not mean that every single station/junction is automatically classified as an inhabited locality; only those specifically and explicitly conferred this status are (and in reality, it's not the station building where people work that gets this status, but the delineated territory on which that building and people's actual places of residence are located; one their own, station and service buildings would not even qualify, as the law citation I provided above would confirm).
    And also, I'm sorry, but your last sentence makes it really difficult to take any of your arguments seriously and strongly suggests a bias. It also makes no sense in this context (how does one "exaggerate population" by reporting population of zero year after year?).—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 5, 2023; 18:00 (UTC) 18:00, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "From NGEO's point of view, whether a place is Sakhalin Oblast is a village, a selo, a station, a junction, or a settlement does not matter; what matters that they are all officially recognized rural localities of identical status" - yet this list includes things that are palpably not villages? And at least 20,000 of Russia's 150,000 rural settlements are unpopulated? So what we're talking about aren't actually places that are required at any level to be populated in order to keep their status under Russian law, and can receive that status when not populated?

  • Delete. Leaving aside the fact GEOLAND is a guideline, not something ironclad we must follow, there's no evidence it actually meets the criteria. Two people living somewhere is a house, not a continuously-inhabited place, historic or otherwise, e that is meant by GEOLAND. If it's notable or was previously much more populous, it has to actually demonstrate that via sourcing. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 20:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • If GEOLAND, as a guideline, is "not something ironclad we must follow", so is GNG or any other notability guideline, and IINFO doesn't apply, leaving no reason to delete. Peter James (talk) 11:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      WP:IINFO is policy, not a guideline, and WP:N and WP:GNG are higher-level guidelines than GEOLAND. But more essentially, this is an argument for ignoring the evidence of our own eyes and common sense: this is simply a railway station.FOARP (talk) 13:40, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • If one guideline can be ignored, another can be - and without exceptions such as GEOLAND and NPROF it's likely that GNG would only be an essay. And I've explained below why the policy is not relevant. Peter James (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lieutenant Kijé would like to comment First, let it be pointed out that the language of the guideline says that legally-recognized places are "typically" included. It is entirely reasonable to take some class of whatever some people regard as such recognition and exclude it. We've already done so with GNIS's "populated places" (which seem to be from a gazetteer standpoint to be essentially the same as Russian selos) and this seems to be the first time we've really confronted the issue of Russian place classifications, so it's entirely reasonable not to take this as a done deal.
Second, it is entirely reasonable to expect these sources to be consistent with more primary reports. The problems with GNIS became apparent when they were checked against their source topo maps and against aerial photography. In this wise the various suppositions above concerning the increase or decrease of population stand out, for surely primary sources must be preferred against mere speculation.
Third, as alluded to above, it is apparent that, whatever seems to be said about it historically, in the current tabulations "selo" appears to encompass many places that aren't villages and were not so historically. The current case is just one of many that appear to be nothing more than train stations and appear to have always been so. It is curious that, although frequently "selo" is translated mechanically as "village", in other cases it appears in English as "rural locality", though the two are hardly synonyms.
Finally, as far as bias is concerned, at least in the US these places haven't been considered notable in their own right, nor have 4th class post offices, another common case of supposed legal recognition; one might question whether Russian officialdom should somehow make them more so there. And yes, of old Russian governments have gotten a reputation for attempting to will things into being through force of edict. Surely in this case one might take the elevation of the area about an isolated rail stop into a villages which once might have held a church as straining at credibility. Mangoe (talk) 20:54, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The difference is that with GNIS places there is only a name, type of feature, coordinates and date of addition to the GNIS database; the type of feature is not always correct, and sometimes there is no other information, and I think an article should be something more specific than "name on a map". And the status of the area is not "straining at credibility": "villages which once might have held a church" could describe parishes in England and Wales; townships (in some counties), extra-parochial places and a small number of hamlets have become civil parishes, including many with no church and some that have never been villages. That doesn't mean that each should be an article; exceptions would be the "Unnamed" parishes created as a result of the Local Government Act 1894 that usually had no buildings or population. There could be a discussion about whether to exclude some rural localities and to decide on the criteria, but that shouldn't be based on misleading comparisons with North America. Peter James (talk) 11:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    North America is far more instructive a comparison here than the UK, since it is a settler-colonised place similar to most of Russia. FOARP (talk) 13:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • The United States doesn't have the equivalent administrative or statistical units in rural areas. Peter James (talk) 15:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      This is really begging the question. I'm not sure this claim is even true because I cannot get a straight answer as to what a selo is that is consistent with the various spots so designated, so I cannot say that in the US there isn't something of the same ilk designated on the state level. Everything I run across says it's a village that at one time would have had an (Orthodox) church, and yet plenty of selos we've come across aren't villages and give no evidence of ever having been villages. This suggests/implies that the GNIS experience does model this, and that whatever the designation is supposed to mean, it is often enough applied in error or for some other reason not consonant with the reality of the place. Therefore the I'm-not-even-sure-it's-a-fact that it is somehow more of a legal recognition than GNIS's classification or for that matter the USPO designation of 4th class post offices does not persuade me that the situation is actually different. As far as I know, this is the first time we've undertaken a serious examination of Russian places, and the guideline has a strong Euro-American or even Anglo-American bias as to how places exist legally, so given what we are finding, I don't think selos are "typical" of obviously notable legally recognized places. What it looks like is that plenty of them fail GNG conspicuously for the usual reason that items entered from government databases are prone to fail GNG: outside of the listing (which I must insist is a primary source) there just is nothing else to go by, certainly nothing extensive and secondary. And there are plenty of examples which are quite a bit worse than this one. Mangoe (talk) 23:31, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article says it's a rural locality, not a settlement, so there is not a reason to delete in the nomination. The only policy or guideline used as a rationale for deletion is IINFO, but that does not mean that for every type of thing, some must be excluded to avoid being indiscriminate. Peter James (talk) 11:01, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    "The article says it's a rural locality, not a settlement" - then in what way does it pass GEOLAND, which is basically directed to settlements, not mere locations (which have to pass WP:GNG)? Isn't this actually a reason to delete? FOARP (talk) 09:28, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    • The phrase WP:GEOLAND is "Populated, legally recognized places". Whether the subject of this article is a settlement or not depends on the meaning of settlement - if it means a town or village it is not, but it means any populated place it is. Peter James (talk) 11:56, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      But if it means any populated place then streets and individual houses listed on censuses (as they are in the UK) then gain the presumption of notability under GEOLAND, which cannot have been the intention of the people who drafted WP:NGEO, not least because they included separate criteria for individual buildings, even ones people live in.
      It makes more sense to read legal recognition as being in the sense of legal empowerment, which would exclude mere statistical units whilst including places having some level of self-administration.
      It makes even more sense to simply say that GEOLAND was never written for somewhere like Russia, but that's by-the-by. FOARP (talk) 13:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sillyness. Oaktree b (talk) 15:36, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

*stares at a rutted dirt road bordered by trees for several minutes* - This is the place we're all arguing about?! There isn't even a sign! The one thing I will cop to is that the railway is no longer extant, but that hardly increases the notability. FOARP (talk) 17:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This is a strange one as 17km is on a road between two villages marked on Google Maps, namely Sinegorsk and Sanatorne neither of which have an en-Wikipedia article as far as I can see. 17km is nearer to Sinegorsk and I think it could have been mentioned there under a separate heading. However, as of now this AfD appears to be a straight choice between keep or delete as I haven't found an appropriate redirect or merge target. Therefore, I'm slightly favouring the GEOLAND argument put forward by User:Ezhiki and leaning keep. Rupples (talk) 02:00, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Merging into Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk seems the obvious option if merging is the outcome, the two sentences here would easily fit as one sentence in a "Selo" section. CMD (talk) 03:10, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    A merge to the administrative district Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Urban Okrug would be appropriate but that is just a redirect. However, yes, you're right, a merge of the text with co-ordinates could work to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk#Administrative and municipal status where the other villages making up the administrative district could be listed.

  • Delete - Waste of an article creation, this article is not notable. Geko72290 (talk) 20:04, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: At the moment I see no consensus here, as arguments on both sides are rather weak. Ignoring GEOLAND because it's a guideline is not very persuasive to me, nor is the argument without supporting evidence that the population is the staff of a railway station. Conversely, a one-time population of 2 doesn't suggest that this meets the common-sense definition of a populated place. Further evidence as to whether this meets GEOLAND would be helpful.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 03:30, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • I do think the idea to merge to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk above is probably the best option here, and I think WP:NOPAGE can definitely guide us, for a place with so little verifiable information. Merge also happens to be a decent compromise for the discussion. In absence of a merge consensus, I do think GEOLAND seems to apply with current evidence despite the low population and unnamed roads, I'd say keep as I don't think deletion is the right choice. —siroχo 05:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge as per this reasoning. toobigtokale (talk) 11:44, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/merge to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, the article amounts to a sentence that could be included on Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, and probably should be there even if this was a devleoped and well-sourced article. For even that sentence, we have such little sourced information that the article claimed 17 km was in two wrong locations in the half a decade of the article's existence leading up to this AfD. CMD (talk) 06:14, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If @Ezhiki is willing to support a compromise merge and redirect to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk#Administrative and municipal status I'll follow suit. I'm giving weight to Ezhiki's opinion as from what I can gather Ezhiki appears to understand the Russian language and administrative system, perhaps better than most of us here — no disrespect to other contributors. Otherwise my !vote is merely to oppose delete. Rupples (talk) 18:22, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for the vote of confidence; appreciated. For the record, I've never been a fan of bulk-creating geostubs which contain little to no information beyond what's needed to satisfy our geo-notability criteria, so collecting this minimal information in one place, possibly in a table form, is totally fine by me, as long as the redirect from the title under which the article would normally reside is retained and there is no prejudice against creating a proper article as soon as someone willing to expand it beyond the bare minimum (and able to cite the said expansion) shows up. Administrative/municipal division sections or articles about the corresponding administrative/municipal division are a perfect location for that, although in some cases we'd need stand-alone lists, because some administrative/municipal divisions may host dozens to hundreds of inhabited localities. And I apologize for having been unable to continue this work myself in the past almost ten years (has it been that long? ugh), but life happens.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); October 20, 2023; 18:48 (UTC) 18:48, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk#Administrative and municipal status (at present the most appropriate existing article/heading) as a compromise between what I'd call a "strained" interpretation of GEOLAND and deletion. That article states 10 rural localities within the district, not too many to list, so all their names should preferably be added as well. Rupples (talk) 19:16, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete‎. Consensus of editors here, especially following the relist, is that SIGCOV is not met. My reading of the discussion is these concerns were not adequately addressed, hence closing as delete. Daniel (talk) 22:35, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Non-notable athlete, a WP:BEFORE check reveals almost entirely primary sources or routine coverage, and very little or no significant coverage. This is reflected in the article which cites only one non-primary source, which is routine coverage of an event the subject participated in. 5225C (talk • contributions) 00:49, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Not sure how good the check was! Typed in the name and the first five internet results are five different sources from British Speedway, Workington Speedway, Berwick Bandits, FIM and Glasgow Tigers. Other sources on the page are from the Speedway Star. None of these are Primary sources, they are some of the main Speedway websites etc. A primary source would be his own rider page like some riders have. Pyeongchang (talk) 14:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Pyeongchang (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD. [reply]
  • Keep. Articles from British Speedway, his clubs, etc. are fine for fact-checking, but are not really independent third-party coverage, and while there's not a great deal of third-party coverage around, there's enough in the Speedway Star and Polish and Netherlands media to scrape through. As a young rider who has just completed his first season of professional speedway, coverage is bound to increase over time. --Michig (talk) 14:23, 20 October 2023 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that Michig (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion.

    • Articles from British Speedway, his clubs, etc. are fine for fact-checking, but are not really independent third-party coverage Agreed, that is not significant coverage and should not be relied on to establish notability 5225C (talk • contributions) 07:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Ace Pijper is a speedway rider who has just helped Glasgow Tigers to the 2023 SGB Championship title, so not sure how he can be classed as a non-notable athlete. A quick Google search shows his name appear in multiple news outlets and he has biographies on numerous speedway sites. His coverage is sure to increase as he progresses through the speedway ranks. He's also the son of Theo Pijper, another famous speedway rider.

    • This !vote is a textbook example of WP:NOTINHERITED. That the subject is part of a notable team or has competed in a notable series does not mean they are equally notable. 5225C (talk • contributions) 07:37, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – There has been some CANVASSing here by the article creator (all three !voters so far). I remain unconvinced that the subject meets standards for inclusion and will not withdraw the nomination. 5225C (talk • contributions) 16:57, 20 October 2023 (UTC), amended 16:59, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment - Quote from Canvassing article page = "In general, it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions", That is all that was done so please don't take offence at the fact that other editors disagree with the nomination for deletion. Motorcycle speedway is a major world sport and these editors are probably some of the best informed on the subject. Pyeongchang (talk) 17:23, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • I didn't say what sort of canvassing it was, I merely noted it for the closing administrator. Odd assumption to make. 5225C (talk • contributions) 17:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • Another quote from WP:CANVASS: Vote-stacking: Posting messages to users selected based on their known opinions (which may be made known by a userbox, user category, or prior statement). One of the four users you messaged about this discussion has a userbox identifying themselves as a fan of speedway, another two you have had prior interactions with about the topic confirming you had at least a strong idea of their opinion, and the fourth literally has "SpeedwayInfo" as a username. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  07:09, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Gsearch goes straight to social media sites, Gnews only has hyper-local coverage in this newspaper [40]. TOOSOON perhaps. No sourcing we can use to meet GNG Oaktree b (talk) 16:26, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't know where these Polish and Dutch sources are, I'm about 6 pages into the Gnews and all I find is this, which is paywalled [41]. You'll need a bunch more than that if you want to have the article kept. Oaktree b (talk) 16:31, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • He competes in the second division of racing, which seems to be a minor league... Even more sourcing is needed if this is kept for a minor league athlete. Oaktree b (talk) 16:32, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
      • It isn't a minor league. It's the second of two professional leagues in Great Britain. --Michig (talk) 17:59, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Here's some examples of coverage: [42], [43], [44], [45]. There's more in-depth coverage in Speedway Star but it's all paywalled. --Michig (talk) 18:11, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for these. The second is talking about the ups and downs of becoming professional, and seems to reinforce TOOSOON. The other coverage suggests that he is someone to watch, but Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability, and the race reports and information he won a bronze helmet in a race is not sufficient for notability under WP:NMOTORSPORT except for specific races, which this one is not. So this looks like a fail on the subject specific NMOTORSPORT. We are left with GNG, for which we need multiple independent reliable secondary sources. race reports are not secondary. I don't see any evidence that GNG is met either. Notability is not inherited, so I am leaning delete here, unless there is any argument that the subject meets NMOTORSPORT under any of the criteria. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:20, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    • Brief few sentences in a list of competitors in the final source, others are only a paragraph or two (except for the first one, which I mentioned in my !vote above). We're just not a notability. Oaktree b (talk) 21:27, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Draftify - the sources present in the article and those provided by Michig appear to be a start but does not meet GNG. As a young athlete, it is possible the subject may become notable at a later time, largely per WP:TOOSOON. Frank Anchor 20:36, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. A search shows very little reliable sources, which are not enough to warrant an article. At this juncture in the subject's career, there is not enough independent coverage. It therefore does not meet WP:BASIC and WP:SIGCOV and fails WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 06:46, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - My reasoning is in my comment above. This could well just be WP:TOOSOON but notability is not yet established. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:24, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. I'm not into sports, so I wouldn't normally opine on this AFD, but since I voted to reopen at DRV I figure extra eyes are helpful. No opinion regarding NMOTORSPORT but I looked at from the point of view of GNG. Thanks to Michig for the foreign-language sources; I know some Polish and translated the Dutch. I think while it's close (hence the "Weak" part of my delete), the mentions are just too brief and limited (either "going to run a race" or "ran a race" or "someone to watch") to write at article at this time. Would suggest draftifying with no prejudice to updating and submitting the draft for approval once there are more sources. Martinp (talk) 15:18, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
