  • Delete – It is a proposed station. Proposed station are unlikely to have articles if (1) They are not subject to widespread coverage in separate news articles. There is no dedicated article for the station alone. (2) It is up to the agency to cancel the station proposal. With no GNG passable sources, if the proposal would be cancelled/rejected, then this article will simply be useless. Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 19:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep‎. I'm closing this early as we inch into SNOW territory. I think it's important to AGF of AFD nominators unless one sees a TREND of an editor focusing in on nominating articles from particular geographic regions unless they are guided by investigating a specific article creator's output. That said, this AFD does suffer from a problem that I see a lot in AFDLand which is a brief and weak nomination statement. Nominators should present an argument for deletion, not just policy page abbreviations. But, like I said, I see this too frequently in AFDs from veteran and new editors alike. it's important to demonstrate that a valid BEFORE has been done. It might have been done in this case but it's impossible to tell by this nomination. Liz Read! Talk! 22:54, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NPROF and WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators and Nigeria. UtherSRG (talk) 21:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. UtherSRG: Would you like to explain in more detail your argument for why you think he fails NPROF, given that our article lists him as vice chancellor for a university in Nigeria, where vice chancellor is the title used for heads of universities (WP:NPROF#C6)? (As in the UK and elsewhere, the chancellor is a ceremonial title; the vice chancellor is the real head.) While I'm asking, can you also explain why you think his citation record [6] with multiple triple-digit citation counts is not good enough for #C1? —David Eppstein (talk) 22:12, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    JoelleJay said it well: Is this really a major university? If not, that strikes out C6. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's the top public university in Nigeria and third overall. Central and Adams (talk) 15:28, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Top in the country doesn't equate to major. It can mean there isn't any major university in the country. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No major universities in Nigeria, the sixth most populous nation in the world? Good luck with that argument. The top university in Nigeria is not like the top university in Monaco -- its top university is major purely by virtue of being top in Nigeria. Your argument begins to sound like WP:BIAS. Central and Adams (talk) 15:54, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What is the rigorous definition of "major university"? Does EDSU meet that definition? - UtherSRG (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a fallacy to assume that a "rigorous definition" is required for notability or even possible in any context. Why do you think we need such a thing or that such a thing can even exist? There's no sensible way to understand the phrase "major university" that doesn't include "top university in Nigeria." Central and Adams (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no fallacy. "Major" has a meaning. If you include "top university in any country" then that could water down that definition. How does EDSU compare to any other university that would generally be considered "major"? Does it have the same standards of accreditation? The same level of research output? top public university in Nigeria and third overall can mean very little if there are only four universities in Nigeria. (There aren't, but I'm showing how your logic is weak.) - UtherSRG (talk) 17:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Equating "has a meaning" with "has a rigorous definition" is equivocation, another fallacy. This has been known since Wittgenstein's work on language games. But this conversation is getting too tangential for me and I'm content to let the closer decide at this point. Central and Adams (talk) 17:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is not the "top university in Nigeria", it was the "best state university in open educational resources" in 2018. JoelleJay (talk) 02:42, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I would also like to know the reason behind UtherSRG's decision to bring this topic to AFD again after I informed them here that it met the WP:NPROF#C6 when they moved it to the draft phase initially. Despite my explanation, they still insisted on bringing it to AFD again. Is there any other criteria that UtherSRG is using to make this decision?Kaizenify (talk) 18:10, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I prefer the community to weigh in when there is a question of notability. Too often I've seen articles accepted from draft that are in the questionable range. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:18, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there a good-faith reason why your nomination statement did not mention that you had already been made aware of this, and did not elaborate on why you thought this criterion did not apply? —David Eppstein (talk) 18:07, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    See the conversation above. There's enough room for debate on whether NPROF#C6 applies. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You are avoiding the question. Your nomination statement did not say that this was a possible issue, that you already knew about, on which there might be room for debate. It just stated flatly that he failed WP:PROF, potentially misleading other contributors into the false belief that you had searched for ways in which he might pass WP:PROF and found none that were even worthy of mention and debate. I have to assume per WP:AGF that it was not your intent to mislead contributors, so perhaps this should be a warning to be more careful in formulating future deletion nomination statements. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Is EDSU actually a major, significant university in the sense expected by C6? It was only established in 2016, we don't have much to go on regarding the quality of its research output, and its establishment was controversial.
JoelleJay (talk) 23:36, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment He is not vice chancellor anymore, or better, he is holding on to his post after his term was finished, see this January 2024 news. If the article is kept, this information should be added. Broc (talk) 13:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NTEMP. Central and Adams (talk) 15:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep: I had wondered the prompt for the AFD since the subject clearly passed WP: GNG and WP: PROF. Since the nominators main purpose is because they believe the chancellor is no more the vice chancellor. But the article and sources states he is still the VC. Besides, Notability cannot be permanent . There are also verified sources for his academic achievement for WP: NRV. EDSU basically is a major university so far it merited an enwiki article. Otuọcha (talk) 19:49, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I am convinced by Central & Adams' assertion that the university he heads or headed is the top public university in its (large) nation. If there is controversy over whether he still heads it, that cannot decrease his notability. Additionally he has a (weaker but still present) case for WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @David Eppstein, the article's claim of being a "top university" is rather misleading; the university ranked as the best state university in open educational resources, which is a metric related to availability of openly licensed and freely distributed course materials, not the quality of education or research output. I too was going to !vote speedy keep per C6 until I noticed the young age of the university, which seemed incongruent with a high overall ranking. It looks like EDSU is tied (with several other universities) for last place among Nigerian universities. JoelleJay (talk) 02:53, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I totally understand UtherSRG's confusion here, Edo State of Nigeria is underrepresented here on Wikipedia (Nigeria generally is). Anyway, this subject easily passes C1 and C6 of WP:NPROF. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Africa is still suffering from systematic bais, so this nominations and others i have seen since i came back is of no surprise to me. UthrrSRG nominated this article because he thought that Edo State University was not good enough like western universities ["Global Perspectives"]).

  • It is most certainly not the case; there is significant editorial bias with respect to this petition for deletion merely because Kouichirou Itou was accused of a nefarious crime; unconvicted. This article existed before this negative media came to light; which suggests there is truth value to my claim here.
    This individual is quite clearly notable. See this, and other data easily available at the internet (with a little effort).
    By deleting articles as a knee-jerk response to alleged criminal behavior; you debase the credibility of wikipedia itself as a reliable tool to procure reliable information.

  • This is clearly not the case. Just because someone is accused of a crime (mind you, he is not convicted) does not you can debase their credibility entirely. There are many articles describing the notability of this individual; but they're being ignored simply because he was accused of committing a crime. I see extreme editorial bias here.

    • Comment: You are free to add information to the article that speaks to his notability beyond being accused of a crime. That is in fact the point here: if there is nothing in the article except the fact that he's been arrested (not convicted), then the article should not stay due to violations of the biographies of living persons guidelines.

    I've googled using source:.jp, in the news sections above, nothing comes up. From the source you've posted, we'll need a ton more sourcing than that. A name in a list alone doesn't make him notable, but it could indicate notability. Meaning if we have more, extensive sources, the article could potentially be kept.

  • Delete: I think Itou might have enough notability to have his own article; however, the article itself does not prove notability as it stands, so it requires way more work done before I think it should be considered being added to mainspace. There are two sentences here and one of them is about his criminal arrest, so it's just not ready. Sarcataclysmal (talk) 23:49, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • "I think Itou might have enough notability to have his own article" -Sarcataclysmal
    Case in point. Kouichirou Itou is obviously notable. To ignore this fact would be to abstain from the use of all reason; undermining wikipedia itself as a reputable source of "facts". An accusation, sans a conviction is not grounds for challenging this individual of (obvious) notability. His works are certainly non-trivial. They're not hard to find. 45.45.17.170 (talk) 01:15, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Him having worked on various notable projects does not inherently make him notable. If someone had written an article on George Washington and included 3 lines of text, unless there was someone out there who saw this and began adding lines of citations and statements regarding his life and whatnot, then the article would by all means lack "notability" per the guidelines. You're arguing for a completely different thing than anyone else here is. If you're willing to sit here and argue with everyone, perhaps it would be wiser for you to verify Itou's notability yourself by adding content to the article.

  • It's not a tantrum; I'm just acquainting fans of revisionist history; much like yourself about the actual facts. This article existed before bad PR related to Kouichirou Itou's alleged crimes which, again he has not yet been convicted for.

    Securing a nomination for the AACTA Award for Best Asian Film, presented by PR Asia, is a significant achievement that goes beyond the immediate acknowledgment by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts. This nomination serves as a powerful testament to the film's excellence and artistry, recognized by industry professionals and experts who play pivotal roles in shaping the trajectory of cinematic recognition.
    The AACTA Awards, as a distinguished institution within the film industry, carry a weight of authority and discernment. The fact that a film is nominated for this particular accolade indicates that it has been identified among the outstanding works in Asian cinema. This recognition extends beyond local or regional acclaim, projecting the film onto an international stage where its merit is acknowledged and celebrated.
    The nomination process itself reflects the stringent and high-quality standards associated with the AACTA Awards. Being nominated implies that the film has not only met but has surpassed expectations, standing out in a competitive landscape of cinematic creations. This distinction adds a layer of credibility to the film's craftsmanship and artistic vision.
    Beyond the film itself, a nomination for such a prestigious award has a ripple effect on the individuals involved in its creation – from filmmakers to actors and various contributors. It offers them more than just a certificate; it opens doors to increased visibility and enhanced opportunities within the global film industry. The acknowledgment by the AACTA Awards serves as a professional validation, paving the way for future projects and collaborations.
    In conclusion, a nomination for the AACTA Award for Best Asian Film presented by PR Asia is not merely an accolade; it is a recognition that reverberates through the broader cinematic landscape, positioning the film and its creators as notable contributors to the evolving tapestry of international cinema. 45.45.17.170 (talk) 12:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Nomination for the AACTA Award for Best Asian Film presented by PR Asia holds significance as it serves as a recognition by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts, an esteemed institution within the film industry. This nomination signifies that the film has been identified as one of the outstanding Asian films by industry professionals and experts.
    Being nominated for such an award suggests notability for several reasons. Firstly, it indicates a level of excellence in filmmaking that has captured the attention and appreciation of a respected academy. This recognition goes beyond local acclaim, reaching an international platform and contributing to the film's prestige.
    Secondly, the AACTA Awards are known for their discerning and high-quality standards, and being nominated attests to the film's ability to stand out in a competitive field. This acknowledgment can open doors for the filmmakers, actors, and other contributors, providing them with increased visibility and opportunities within the global film industry.
    In conclusion, a nomination for the AACTA Award for Best Asian Film presented by PR Asia not only acknowledges the film's exceptional qualities but also elevates its standing in the broader cinematic landscape, thus suggesting notability within the industry. 45.45.17.170 (talk) 12:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP1E of a couple who got a tiny blip of media attention in the past week for trivial reasons that would not pass the ten year test for enduring significance. Doing something dumb without thinking, and then giving one interview to a media outlet about it, is not in and of itself a reason to immortalize somebody forever in an encyclopedia just because they had a couple of news stories written about that in the first couple of days. Obviously, this can be recreated in the future if it actually turns out to have a significant long-term impact on the world (seems unlikely, though I won't say never -- I suppose they could theoretically launch a cult compound in Kamchatka and accidentally trigger World War III or something?), but as of right now this is essentially just a WP:NOTNEWS violation about low-profile private citizens who've done absolutely nothing of permanent significance.

But independent secondary sources have covered their breeding attempts and efforts to register the breed, at least as lately as 2022, so the original research concerns can be remedied by trimming the content down to what has been published. As the article mentions, most other people in Thailand just treat the name as a synonym for Burmese, but it takes the TIMBA's position as fact so that's also an NPOV issue." --Paul_012 (talk) 07:44, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I can't read Thai so I can't give much input on these sources. I looked at the Thai article and it appears to be just about the Burmese itself.

  • Pinging SMcCandlish, who raised issues with the article back in 2019. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Considering all things, I'd suggest to redirect without prejudice to Burmese (cat) for now. There are probably enough secondary sources that have reported on TIMBA's position to support a much trimmed down version that properly balances the viewpoints, but until someone makes the effort to do that rewrite it'd be better to just point the name to what most other people use it for. --Paul_012 (talk) 15:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect and summarize (from the sourced material, not from the entire article most of which is unsourced), but merge that to List of experimental cat breeds, since there is no evidence cited in our article about what the foundation stock was, including whether it was Burmese at all. What's happened here is that legendarily, there were solid copper-colored cats in the region mentioned in a work of very uncertain date (1351–1767). Modern breeders have attempted to "recreate" this alleged landrace variety as a new standardized breed, from stock they are cagey about. But their claims that this is "an ancient breed" going back to the Ayutthaya Kingdom cannot be sustained; this is typical breeder marking nonsense. Next, our own material has gotten a bunch of junk mixed in, including contradictory passages (first a claim that people were "confused" into thinking that the Suphalak was solid-colored and then a "correction" that it was solid colored), a bunch of name-dropping of individual non-notable breeders (more marketing), plus non-neutral material like personal-opinion claims about what a "proper Suphalak" is, and a bunch of unsourced claims about their genetics, etc. The fact that there are a grand total of six cats in the breeding program is not actually encouraging that this passes WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE at all, though a summary paragraph at the experimental breeds list would arguably serve readers better than no information at all, since people are apt to run into mentions of this at cat-related clickbait sites and want more details. PS: This single-breed club trying to establish the breed is by definition not WP:INDY and is not a reliable source for anything but WP:ABOUTSELF claims (e.g. what they say their breed standard is, how many cats are in their breeding program, etc., but not claims of antiquity or other potentially controversial material).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  22:14, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment if the breeders have stopped their efforts it's less appropriate for List of experimental cat breeds. There are no failed/forgone breeds listed in the article I believe.
Traumnovelle (talk) 19:37, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Looking further into this, I would oppose redirecting to List of experimental cat breeds, as that would imply a rather oversimplified reductionist view that the name refers only to the newly created breed, when in reality it's an old name, the understanding of which has been quite actively evolving, both in Thailand and among Western breeders. The name is recognised by The International Cat Association, who discussed using Suphalak cats from Thailand (as the term was understood in 2010) for outcrossing to improve genetic diversity in the Burmese breed.[19] There's more info on this at Messybeast.com,[20] which can probably be considered a self-published expert source.
    All that said, ideally the article should be rewritten to provide a proper overview covering the history, the evolving terminology, and the relationship to the Burmese breed, in a neutral, descriptive tone. Taking another look at the article, I don't think it's so bad that the current page needs to be removed in the meantime, so I'd be okay with either keeping or temporarily redirecting to Burmese cat, as I mentioned above. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:49, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that there's no distinction suggests that this should be a WP:broad-concept article rather than a plain disambiguation page. In any case, I don't think the re-creation breed needs to be a separate article. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:48, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it's verifiable that it has been officially proposed or widely called for then again it should be merged.

This does not seem like a notable intersection of nationalities, failing WP:CROSSCAT. The group is unusually small at 500 people to a few thousand, not surprising since Cape Verde is a small nation.

Page is unnecessary as each notable convention has it's own article and this has just become a list for unnotable conventions. Of the 11 listed as notable, only National UFO Conference (now defunk) is an actual notable UFO conference. Conspiracy Con is for conspiracies, MUFON has only a brief mention of symposium in the MUFON article. Giant Rock was a place where some UFO people gathered, not a convention. Roswell has a festival but even that is not a notable article. All the others currently mentioned are not notable. In popular culture section, is weak and some are only loosely associated with conventions. Two citations, one to Giant Rock and the other to MUFON. I think this article is only here to collect non-notable gatherings. Let each convention exist on it's own, and if we have enough that are notable, then have a UFO convention category. This is just unnecessary. Sgerbic (talk) 07:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Starcruexz: First, notability is not determined by PSTS. It is determined by WP:NCORP, the Wikipedia guideline for notability for corporations. Second, it would be helpful if you could provide three sources that you believe prove that this corporation is notable. Each of those sources should be (1) secondary, (2) independent of the company, and (3) reliable, and each source should (4) provide significant coverage of the corporation. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Assessment of sources provided by Starcruexz below:
Created with templates {{ORGCRIT assess table}} and {{ORGCRIT assess}}
This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor.
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Secondary? Overall value toward ORGCRIT
Financial Express No Seems to be based on press release/interview of company partnering with the article subject. Yes No Routine announcement of business partnership. Yes
Brands Equity No Interview published in a trade publication. Yes No Routine announcement of brand partnership. Yes
Economic Times Tech No Product announcement based on press release. Yes No Routine product announcement. Yes
India Today No Product announcement that appears to be based on a press release with no independent reporting or context. Yes No Routine product announcement. Yes
Economic Times Auto No Product announcement based on press release and quotes from company officials. Yes No Routine company acquisition announcement. Yes
Mint No The wrong source appears to be linked; this is a story about something completely unrelated. If the intent was to link to this story about a routine acquisition, I already noted in my nom that that source does not provide significant coverage. Yes
Business Standard No Announcement of setting up manufacturing plant based on press release and quotes from company officials. Yes No Routine announcement. Yes
Mint Appears to be based on press release. No Routine funding announcement. Yes
EnergyWorld No Interview with company founder and COO. Yes Yes Overview of what the company's plans are. Yes
News18 No Announcement of business partnership based on press release. Yes No Routine business partnership. Yes
Gadgets360 No Announcement of manufacturing plant based on company press release. Yes No Routine announcement. Yes

To meet the notability guideline for corporations, there must be multiple sources, each of which must have significant coverage in independent and secondary reliable sources. Coverage is not significant if it is based on routine announcements and coverage is not independent if it is based on reporting that substantially repeats press releases (churnalism). None of the sources above meet those guidelines and I have not found any other sources that establish this company's notability. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:01, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the article has a whopping 56 sources cited, and the above is just short of 20% of those sources (assuming that there are no repeat citations in the article). It is unlikely that the remaining sources cited in the article establish notability; just skimming through the list of references and looking at their titles and publications show that they appear to be largely routine announcements about some of the same events provided in the above sources). In any event, I note that the burden in a deletion discussion is on those arguing to keep an article. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of these contain significant coverage, which requires detailed discussion of the company.

    @Scu ba The Heimildin article is almost entirely based of her statement which is not independent of the subject. With the lack of independent prose by the journalist, it is not significant coverage. The Vísir.is article is a large article that mostly focuses on the history of the presidency. It does have around four paragraphs on her that are independent. The bpwiceland2022.is article is not independent of the subject. It is a website of a conference where she was one of the speakers. The Dagblaðið Vísir article is based entirely on her announcement and includes a single line of independent prose. The FKA source is not indepentent of her as it is from the Association of Businesswomen in Iceland where she was the chairman. Alvaldi (talk) 19:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    "almost entirely based of her statement" yeah, they reported... on her statement... not sure how you can write an article about someone running for president if you we can't use articles that quote her announcing she's running for president.
    We can mention she spoke at the BWP conference and the chairwomen of the FKA, not sure why that can't be included.
    Scu ba (talk) 19:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While it is fine to use them in some cases as a source, non-independent sources, such as works or statements produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it, cannot be used to establish notability per WP:Notability. Also note that WP:SUSTAINED significant coverage is required for the subject to be considered per WG:GNG. A brief burst of coverage, such as a few articles around an announcement is not enough. Alvaldi (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The other thing is we typically redirect candidates who are only notable for being candidates to their election page, or delete them. Just receiving coverage for running for something isn't enough. SportingFlyer T·C 22:10, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That too, but the articles also give a brief biography of her. I've got a feeling that this is going to turn into another Ryan Binkley situation, a minor candidate for US president that had his page deleted 3 times because despite him having dozens of articles written about him, all of them are in the context of the presidential election. This page might have jumped the gun with making it so early, but she is only going to become more relevant as the campaign develops. Scu ba (talk) 20:05, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the record, the poll that she had 8% support in was twofold. The first question was, who would you like as the next president. In that poll, she received less than five total votes. Not percent of the votes, but total votes. The second question was, which one of the five persons who have officially decleared their candidacy for president they would choose, if any, 8 percent choice her while 77 percent choice "None of the above". In a poll conducted in February by Gallup, she didn't gather a vote. So whatever feelings you are having towards this candidate, it is not shared by the Icelandic population. That said, the inclusion of articles on Wikipedia are not based on feelings, they are based on sources. So either the subject has multiple sources of significant sources over a significant period of time or she doesn't have an article. Alvaldi (talk) 20:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Source analysis was requested. Three of the presented sources are just how she announced her presidential campaign, which we basically automatically exclude under NPOL as candidate coverage, and the exception - that the campaign itself was so notable she's a notable candidate - does not apply. The fourth is just a profile from an organisation she works with (not secondary), and the fifth appears to be some sort of non-interview interview (not secondary). She is simply a political candidate who does not yet qualify for an article - if additional sources are found that make her notable outside of her candidacy, or she wins, we can keep/restore the article.

  • Redirect to 2024 Icelandic presidential election#Candidates. Policy-based arguments so far are against retention. One "keep" argues with polls, which are irrelevant, and another proposes sources which were convincingly shown not to meet WP:GNG's requirements. Given that notability remains possible if further sources are found, the appropriate WP:ATD for now is a redirect to the election. Sandstein 14:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Joseph2302: @Rugbyfan22: every cricket tournament that uses an auction format uses a different format that is explained on that event's articles
    Firstly, there is no comprehensive list of links to these articles in the comments. Second, the articles to be referenced do not cover research and discussion of the practice of auctioning as a whole at their current stat. Therefore, the argument is not entirely valid, and we still need a general article on this topic. This general article would cover the practice of auctioning players in sports leagues without the need to WP:FORK the general content into specific articles for each league. Geysirhead (talk) 12:20, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I AFDed this article because I disagree that "cricket player auction" in particular meets WP:GNG, or needs an article. That's not to say there's nothing encyclopedic to be extracted from the sources about player auctions in sports (most notably IPL). The question of whether there is a new article to be written is a valid one. Cricket player auction is definitely not that article, as I have said. Is cricket player auctions an article worth writing? Is Player auctions in sports? Or Player auction? I am not sure this AFD is a good place to discuss that. I would support userfying or draftifying the article to give the author opportunity to discover what encyclopedic topic it is that they want to write about and have discovered the sources for. That said, I just noticed upon previewing this very comment that the author has gone ahead and started player auction. I do not know adding to the mess was helpful. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The debate here is deeply frustrating. So far, the cricket community has dominated the discussion, with no evidence to deny the existence of general encyclopaedic content for "Cricket Player Auction" that should not be spread across multiple articles. It speaks to the pervasive unwillingness to understand points of view outside one's own community. It is incumbent upon all of us to challenge our own biases, cultivate empathy, and strive to foster a culture of inclusivity, tolerance, and understanding. Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns. Geysirhead (talk) 15:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Geysirhead please WP:AGF. There has been no evidence that we need a general article about this topic, this has nothing to do with challenge our own biases, cultivate empathy, and strive to foster a culture of inclusivity, tolerance, and understanding.

    no evidence that we need a general article about this topic
    1) There is a body of academic literature on predicting prices in player auctions in general (e.g. Valuing Cricketers Using Hedonic Price Models).
    2) There are expressed societal concerns which are not resticted to the auction format in a certain league (e.g. IPL auction; A cattle parade? Yet, so irresistible?).
    3) The issue of such auctions being TV shows is also of general character. Geysirhead (talk) 17:13, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
