Does not meet WP:GNG, all available coverage is work written by Baron or interviews of Baron, not independent coverage about Baron. The initial editor has disavowed a conflict of interest on their talk page but has not addressed the fact that they uploaded a close-range photograph of the subject to Commons in 2021. N.b., this subject appears entirely unrelated to prior articles created at the title Michael Baron. signed, Rosguill talk 19:00, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just publishing stuff counts for nothing. For notability the stuff has to be cited by others, which is not the case here. The ORCID profile just contains vapid puffery. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:44, 30 January 2024 (UTC).[reply]
I believe I've seen artcile or presentation referring to him as the creator or one of the creators of the Square Zero predictive analytics Model - It has been a while though since I looked into Predictive Analytics so I will probably need to google it up again. But his name is definitely familiar to some of those who are engaged in Data Analytics. DataScientist1986 (talk) 04:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So my initial profile creation was translation of his profile from Vietnamese Wiki so I tried to simply translate content that was there at the time without adding anything (as suggested for wiki page translation) now on the basis of the feedback recieved I've tried to a) remove some references to his writings and interviews (I thought that being published/interviewed by well-known media outlets is significant) Now the English version looks different from the Vietnamese one. Also, the Vietnamese profile was created many years ago so, I've been able to locate (thank you DataScientist1986 for the lead) his activities as part of the Data Science Foundation leadership & new COVID-related work Emma knows it well (talk) 14:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I am concerned, Baron is notable enough to keep the profile in Wiki not only becase his textbooks are prescribed texts in colleges and he is being interviewed by some people to give his opinion but also because he has been invited to Parliament as a subject matter expert. I think this quite significant. DataScientist1986 (talk) 22:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
He seems to be quite significant as googling him does show some media coverage. BulgarianCat (talk) 10:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A city league with four teams that at best played two seasons. Unable to find any WP:SIGCOV during a search that included Newspapers.com. Alvaldi (talk) 14:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - The two existing sources make for SIGCOV, though I agree it’s not clear this will have enduring notability. WilsonP NYC (talk) 17:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WilsonP NYC Of the sources, this has no information about the league other than a short blurb about one of its players. The Fox article is about lingerie athletic leagues in general and has no information about the basketball league other than mentioning that Jenny McCarthy's watched her sister play in a game. So no, the two existing sources do not make for significant coverage, not even close. Alvaldi (talk) 18:14, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My judgement is that the Fox News story qualifies as a profile, given the league is the lede and subject of the first two paragraphs. How about we see what everyone else thinks? Despite your comment I think it is, in fact, “close.” WilsonP NYC (talk) 22:48, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WilsonP NYC When the only thing about the league that can be extracted from those paragraphs are the name of the league and that a notable person watched its unnamed sibling playing in it then that is not significant coverage about that league. It is the literal definition of a trivial mention per WP:SIGCOV. From that source we can write the following article "The Lingerie Basketball League was a basketball league where Jenny McCarthy's sister once played in." Not exactly encyclopedic stuff. Alvaldi (talk) 09:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, per Alvaldi. The two sources mentioned above are clearly passing mentions with no encyclopedic coverage.

  • Comment This is a silly enough publicity stunt that you'd expect there to be a good deal of coverage; has anybody tried to track some down? jp×g🗯️ 00:23, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, as I noted in the nomination I did but was unable to find any. It should also be noted that GNG requires WP:SUSTAINED coverage. So even if there was a brief burst of coverage around the beginning of the league but nothing more then it would still fail our notability guidelines.

  • Weak Keep I read WP:SUSTAINED to say "Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability.", which does not mean a subject does not have to have a continual flow of coverage to be notable. I have been around WP:AFD a long time and have never even seen SUSTAINED as a rational for deletion. WP:NTEMP (a different section of the same guideline) states "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage."-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:38, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have been around WP:AFD a long time and have never even seen SUSTAINED as a rational for deletion. What? It's used as a rationale regularly, although often misattributed as BLP1E or BIO1E for bios. NTEMP just means the topic doesn't have to have current coverage if it received appropriately sustained coverage sometime in the past. It's not an exemption from SUSTAINED. JoelleJay (talk) 03:17, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have seen BIO1E often. A league that last a few years is a different thing than a BIO1E. Really don't recall SUSTAINED.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:20, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There is no significant coverage of this league whatsoever, neither a brief burst of one nore sustained. Brief and trivial mentions do not indicate notability per GNG. You should know this as an experienced editor. Furthermore, there are no indications that this league lasted more than its first year, which in reality was a only few games played by four teams in a span of less than a month.

See for example [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] and the works of Seidenspinner-Nunez and others mentioned therein, or alluded to, including works in Spanish and Italian, and some that may not be online, including some of these. Since the second book of the Two Tristans is about "Tristan the younger" (AKA Tristano il giovane, Tristan el joven, Tristan de leonis el joven, etc), the result is that roughly half the coverage of the Italian "Due Tristani" and the Spanish "Coronica" is about him. I am under the impression that he was invented by the author of the Coronica. James500 (talk) 01:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet notable WP:NACTOR or WP:NMODEL. All minor acting roles so far. What's cited here already is all of the reliable sources I could find online in English or Urdu, and all are primary sources: interviews, and an appearance on a TV panel game show. The only secondary coverage I could find was passing mentions in TV articles. Editors wishing to search should note that the first name is sometimes spelled "Osman" in English, and the surname is sometimes spelled "Bhatt". There's a lot of secondary coverage of the unrelated actor Osman Khalid Butt (عثمان خالد بٹ), so I tried to exclude "Khalid" (خالد) from the search, but still couldn't improve on the sources cited.

  • Redirect Unlike the other article, which can be deleted, I'd say redirect to Panini Group, as a possible search term. Govvy (talk) 17:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would support the redirect if Panini Group mentioned Champions League Super Strikes at all. I'd be happy to add it, unfortunately I can't find any reliable independent reference covering Champions League Super Strikes and its connection to Panini Group. If a redirect were to be added in its current state, it would be confusing. Mokadoshi (talk) 19:29, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple reliable sources confirm Brewer played a key role in the early days of the Sandy Hook Pilots Association and the formation of the Sandy Hook Pilot Boat company.

  • Delete - Based on an in-depth analysis of the sources. I am not understanding what this person is supposedly notable for. He was born, he was part-owner of three boats, a boat pilot, he started an organization with four others pilots, none of which inherently confers notability. He then got married, had children who had children, then died. The vast lion’s share of the article is not about him at all, but about the boats that he partially owned,. At first glance this looks like a well-sourced article, but it is pieced together with bits of trivia about him, and many sources that do not mention him at all. A source analysis table is offered below. If it is collapsed, click on "show" on the right hand side. My comment continues below the table.

This seems like a clear WP:GNG fail to me. If you actually read the sources in the source assessment chart they are all trivial mentions, don't mention him at all and are about other people or boats he partially owned, or the controversy surrounding an organization in which he was a secretary. Also seems like WP:SYNTH. Netherzone (talk) 18:38, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first ref cites the subject’s Wikipedia page, the second and third are about his brief arrest and release. I couldn’t find any better sources so the subject seems not to be notable. Mccapra (talk) 14:30, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I totally disagree with this. Firstly, you deleted the previous info that was edited. Now you're saying that you're gonna delete this because the it's not notable? He is very popular. He has 1.3 Million followers on Twitter. He's a very trendy person but I don't get why you're doing all this. Please stop this and let people actually make some edits on this page. Thank you. TIRRIT3123 (talk) 09:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here are reason I believe you shouldn't delete this:
- Adil Raja is a famous journalist
- Adil Raja was the Spokesperson of the Pakistan Ex Servicemen Society
- Adil Raja is a famous whistle blower
- Adil Raja has almost half a million followers on Twitter
- He gets millions of views per month on his tweets
- Adil Raja's YouTube channel was the fastest growing journalist channel but for some reasons, they illegally banned it TIRRIT3123 (talk) 09:29, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a lot of other information about him that's not included in this page. Maybe if you allow people to add that info, you won't say "seems not to be notable". TIRRIT3123 (talk) 09:33, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TIRRIT3123: Thanks can you please show reliable independent sources discussing the subject in depth? Mccapra (talk) 10:04, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can buy followers on Twitter, so that doesn't help notability, as you can views on Youtube. Spokesman for the Society is a PR job, which doesn't add to notability. If you can provide articles about his work as a journalist, not stuff he's written, we'd look at that. Oaktree b (talk) 16:21, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seconding Mccapra's request for sources. Even for "famous-X" we need citations. I did a quick search in UK newspapers and did not find anything about him being detained (not arrested) in the UK. From the news articles in the wiki page this does not seem to be more than a single incident of not great import. Barring sources that would support his fame, it has to be delete per WP policy. I'll cycle back to see if anything changes. Lamona (talk) 04:46, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I totally disagree. There are a ton of different articles on him. Please search "Adil Raja" on Google, then go to news. There are dozens of articles on him. Even by the most popular news companies in Pakistan. There is more relevant information which is missing but you didn't add. Especially about his illegal court martial. The official Pakistan Army Public Relations website released information about that but it's not added. So I think your opinion on him not being important is totally wrong. So, whoever nominated this page for deletion, please undo that. If you have any more questions or counter arguments, please share them. I'll make sure to reply Thank you.

    Non-notable YouTuber?? His channel was one of the fastest growing channels amongst the journalist community in Pakistan. He gained 650K subscribers after half a year of starting his channel. Then it was obviously banned because of mass reports. Now YouTube doesn't even reply to tweets related to his issue. Why is that? Why are they trying to silence him?

Relisting to delete or merge to swimsuit. The premise of the article is out of scope for an encyclopedia and both potentially too broad and too specific ie. lacking in a clear definition. The writing is not encyclopedic but this is because of the fundamental nature of the article is unlikely to be clearly focused. Women can wear anything to the beach, any beachwear can be worn anywhere else (and sunglasses, sandals, hats can be worn other than by just women) and it is not restricted to a particular item of clothing which might narrow it down.

Keep. I may not have included all relevant sources in the article, but I believe the topic is definitely notable. Nothing in the the guidelines says that the notability has to be proven through English sources only. I've added several sources in my response to Oaktree above.

  • Probably keep agree with Nick-D, this is a prominent website for Australian poll-watchers and it's hard to imagine there won't be any sources covering it in some capacity – the difficulty is extracting coverage of the website itself from the gazillion times it has been mentioned in passing to verify some figure or analysis. – Teratix 13:37, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Just because poll watchers like the website doesn't grant it notability... those forms of coverage (citation) are apparently cited below by Spinifex&Sand as reasons to keep the article. So it's still unclear to me what the grounds to keep the article are. I also visit Poll Bludger at least three times a week. J2m5 (talk) 10:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I conducted a search re J2m5's request for WP:SIGCOV. Without finding a specific article about Poll Bludger, there were many reputable sources that included references to it. Bearing in mind WP:N Basic Criteria, “If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability”, I think there is enough to achieve notability. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 00:04, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I was under the impression that "multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" applied to when such articles treated the subject as one of many elements of focus in the article. The mentions of Poll Bludger in reputable sources are citations of Poll Bludger. By this logic many journalists would have Wikipedia articles, when this is not the case. We cannot feasibly close this AfD without sources being presented which actually focus on Poll Bludger in at least partial depth without it being simply cited as a source.J2m5 (talk) 10:23, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To my judgement none of the sources give enough coverage to Poll Bludger in particular to meet GNG.
However, they do appear to give enough coverage to justify reviving an article on political blogs in Australia: this article briefly existed in 2006, was redirected to political blog on the understanding its content would be retained there but then the target was itself merged to Blog#Political impact in 2015, which only contains US-related content. The latter decision to merge was done unilaterally and probably seemed innocuous at the time. In hindsight that seems to have been a poor call and someone should probably look into reviving political blog as a full-fledged article as well.
Anyway, my view is now un-redirect political blogs in Australia and merge this article there. – Teratix 11:03, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated as this had been deprodded, which got reverted who claimed there are a number of sources available; take this to AFD if you think it should be deleted. I then redirected this to Musicbrainz as its notability is rather thin, again reverted because it seems notable.

This is my rationale to nominate but reluctantly: apps and softwares of database websites are not notable on their own. It may seem "notable" to that editor but half of the 7 sources are hardly reliable sources. Of the sources, one is a talk by the creator of the website, so this is of a promotional nature. The one by PCWorld is a review and the one by CNET is a guide on using the app. Also, as with further reading, they are all guides on how to use the app. Thus this makes WP:RS rather questionable. Nothing in that article asserts why should it be notable here.

Alternatively, I suggest redirect this to MusicBrainz as a WP:ATD but I feel its notability is also pretty questionable. SpacedFarmer (talk) 10:48, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cargo cult programming[edit]

This appears to be a dictionary definition, padded out with content on other subjects. The only source cited actually discussing the article topic is a hacker dictionary. The 'origin' section at minimum borders on WP:OR, and is mostly off-topic, while the 'Cargo cult software engineering' section starts with an explicit statement to the effect that it is off-topic. An online search for the article topic itself fails to locate the significant coverage in WP:RS necessary to establish notability: instead, we find a few blog entries and similar, along with instances of the phrase being used. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first source you cite is completely and utterly wrong about the actual 'cargo cults' this supposed ritualised programming practice is being compared to (I could go into great detail, but just as a teaser, I'll note that documented 'cults' pre-date the aeroplane, never mind WW2, and that in as much as 'cargo' ever played a part, it was a relatively small part of what were actually complex indigenous political/religious reactions to the rapid social change and growing economic/political inequalities of colonialism. The anthropological literature on this phenomenon is extensive, and precisely none of it supports this reductionist 'stupid primitives' narrative). If that is a 'reliable source', what would an unreliable one look like? Same for the second. And so on. Most of the sources you link do little more than assert that 'cargo cult programming exists', and those that do define it through analogy based on a wrong-headed and frankly offensive counterfactual popular-culture trivialisation of movements and events documented within anthropology. A dictionary definition at best, repeated ad nauseum. If programmers think that using the term 'cargo cult' and then telling a fairy tale constitutes an actual definition of anything, that's their choice. I see no reason for Wikipedia to present their ritual incantations as based on fact... AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jfire's sources. Additionally, the article is (or at least should be?) about a concept, not the specific words "cargo cult programming" and "cargo cult software engineering", so I find the notion that "cargo-cult software engineering" is off-topic incorrect. It's clearly the same topic. ~ A412 talk! 19:07, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment: nom seems to have an agenda to WP:RGW. And while I feel for their position on the misappropriation of the term "cargo cult" to describe this concept in computer science / software engineering, this is the WP:COMMONNAME of this concept, and "Ritualistic incorporation of commonly used patterns that serve no purpose in programming" would not be a title useful to readers. ~ A412 talk! 06:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I find the suggestion that the scope of WP:RGW should include noting that an article has been disseminating factually-incorrect content based on sources that rely on pop-cult just-so stories to perpetuate an offensive stereotype for over twenty years somewhat disheartening.

  • Comment: The Origin section as it stood was rewritten precisely to address the cultural misapprehensions that Andy is so keen to have addressed.

With hindsight my initial approach, aimed at rectifying the appalling misrepresentations of 'cargo cults' as it stood in the article, might not have been the most appropriate. If I'd taken more note of the paucity and inadequacy of sources being cited, rather than the utterly wrong-headed 'stupid brown people' narrative I saw there, I'd probably have nominated the article for deletion sooner. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:51, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Well, regardless of political arguments within the academic field of cultural anthropology were taking place in the 1990s-2000s (?), this does seem like a term used by computer programmers, and the sources support this. I do not really see what's wrong with the article. jp×g🗯️ 02:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anthropology has been discussing and debating 'cargo cults' (a term going out of favour) since the 1950's, if not earlier. The debate is ongoing. As for 'terms', they generally belong in dictionaries, unless subject to considerably more reliably-sourced analysis. Wikipedia requires in-depth coverage of subject matter in multiple reliable sources. Not sources 'using' the term, but sources 'discussing' it in depth. All I'm seeing are sources which either take it as read everyone knows what they are referring to, or defining it through hand-waving analogy with popular-culture pseudoanthropology. The sources seem to be reliably vague, reliably useless, and/or reliably wrong. AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:26, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to cargo cult since the article does appear to have the problems previously raised in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Big ball of mud. In this case there is the added wrinkle that "cargo cult" is a broadly applied metaphor and its metaphorical usage in various contexts is offered to support the notability of the specific term in the Jargon File, which was based on one student's usage at the University of Iowa in the early 1990s. The cargo cult article should eventually have a short section on the term's metaphorical use outside and in Melanesia that can serve as a more specific redirect target. 2601:642:4600:BE10:7463:209D:F5A6:DF1F (talk) 18:36, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is not merely a dictionary definition, but it is a term for a specific anti-pattern that is found in computer programming. Coverage of this as an anti-pattern (rather than as a mere term) can be found on Page 381 of this book, on page 38 of this book, in this paper, and in others. There are even some full-length reflections by experts in the field about this sort of anti-pattern. The application of the "cargo cult" metaphor to programming dates back to at least 1983, and it remains a fairly standard pitfall in the programming world; I'm even able to find containerization-related cargo cult programming papers being published. And the security implications of cargo cult programming is described both in this paper and this one. This isn't the wiktionary, but I do think that this sort of thing goes beyond a mere dictionary definition. That the metaphor might be a misnomer, as the nominator suggests, is totally irrelevant to notability of the anti-pattern itself. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There does not seem to be any modern evidence that Archelaus II existed. The only reference is to a work by Sir Walter Raleigh!! The article's facts and dates clash or are inconsistent with articles that rely on more reliable sources. Chewings72 (talk) 10:57, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, the succession order given by modern sources is generally Perdiccas II -> Archelaus (I) -> Orestes -> Aeropus II -> Amyntas II -> Pausanias -> Amyntas III. Eusebius and Synkellos, writing in Late antiquity/early medieval period, record Orestes’ successor as "Archelaus" (our Archelaus II). However, Diodorus, as well as a few other sources, call Orestes' successor "Aeropos" (March pp. 275-276). What’s likely going on here is that Aeropos adopted the name "Archelaus" when he became king (March p. 280). Alternatively, the "Archelaus" could be a mistake in the Eusebian and Synkellan sources (King p.65, Hammond 1979 p.168). In either case, there is no Archelaus II.

This is all pretty complicated, so anyone interested in this niche subject should read Duane A. March's journal article The Kings of Makedon: 399-369 B.C.

  • Redirect to Aeropus II of Macedon and explain the confusion there. The Italian Wiki cites Eusebius. Moreover, if Aeropos adopted the name "Archelaus" when he became king, then there is an Archelaus II, he's just not a different person from Aeropus II. Srnec (talk) 03:37, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article about a purported war in 185 AD between the Inner Asian steppe nomads the Xianbei and the Wa of present-day Japan, is as fanciful as it appears. It lists three sources, which are, astonishingly enough, genuine, but none of them support the outlandish claim that the steppe nomads crossed the sea of Japan and fought the inhabitants there, nor any events of the year 185. The first source, "SGZ", apparently refers to Sanguo Zhi, and the cited passage talks about the reach of the Xianbei leader Tanshihuai - no mention of Wa of Japan. The second source, available online here, talks about Xiongnu burial rites and nothing about the Xianbei, let alone the Japanese. The last source notes that the Xianbei were defeated west of the Liao River in 177, a far cry from the grandiose claim that they forced the submission of the Wa and made them pay tribute. I must conclude this article is a hoax, and recommend that other articles by the same creator be scrutinized as well. _dk (talk) 07:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if someone can write and source something better. There are potentially plausible notability claims here, but they aren't adequately supported by reliable sourcing — but notability doesn't hinge on what the article says, it hinges on how well the article can or can't reference the things it says to WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about the things it says. But given how heavily Quebec-based his career was, it's highly likely that if he has adequate reliable source coverage to pass GNG, most of it would be in French newspapers that I don't have adequate access to in order to be the fixer. But we also don't keep poorly sourced articles just because it's possible that better sourcing might exist somewhere than we've actually been able to find — we can only consider sources that are actually in evidence, so somebody who wanted to claim that he got over GNG on French-language coverage would actually have to find and show his French-language coverage, and we can't just keep the article on a presumption that he might have more in French than we've found in English. So, again, no prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, and I'm willing to reconsider this if somebody can improve the article before this discussion even closes, but this as currently written and sourced isn't good enough.

This article is about the alumni magazine for Washington State University. We generally don't find alumni magazines notable for standalone articles (the category has only 16 non-redirect entries), and there doesn't seem to be anything particularly notable about this one (CASE gives out lots of awards).

A WP:BEFORE search turned up a surprising amount — [53] counts as one notability-qualifying source, and the previous alumni magazine has a borderline source of its own.

However, two factors push me toward merging and redirecting to Washington State University. First, per WP:PAGEDECIDE, it seems questionable to have a separate article on this when there's just not that much to say on it and it could be covered at the university's article. Second, it was created by a paid editor, so retaining it would be WP:BOGOF. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 05:34, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A page with a myriad of problems. I cannot find any information if the term "Foreign-born Japanese" is used as a distinctive category on its own. Seems like a badly written list with most content being taken from Japanese nationality law Tooncool64 (talk) 01:52, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See my comment below. The term is Diaspora. — Maile (talk) 01:12, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the case. The article on Japanese diaspora is about the group of ethnic Japanese people who are in Japan (a large majority of whom are not citizens of Japan, and have never lived there), whereas this article is about the group of Japanese citizens who were not born in Japan (a large majority of whom live in Japan). Dekimasuよ! 03:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not the scope intended by this article. This article is explicitly about citizens of Japan, which is a separate topic from Japanese diaspora. In effect, since the Japanese government does not acknowledge the existence of ethnicity (and the series of articles on foreign groups in Japan also explicitly limits the scope of those articles to citizens of foreign countries, cf. Brazilians in Japan, Chinese people in Japan, Americans in Japan), deletion of this article would leave us with few places to discuss the subjects of this article as a group. If that is fine with everyone, I suppose the category will have to suffice. Dekimasuよ! 03:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the University of Oregon's alumni magazine. From that perspective, the initial outlook isn't too promising, as we don't generally find alumni magazines notable for stand-alone articles (the category has only 16 non-redirect entries). Looked at as an overall media organization, it does seem to have a plausible claim of significance — its designer states that it's the oldest and most widely circulated publication in the state.

That said, I was unable to find any notability-qualifying source during a WP:BEFORE search, which included its former Old Oregon name. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 01:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for notability for 9 years, fails WP:NCORP. It's a small record label that had an output of 30. Not to be confused with other labels of the same name. Geschichte (talk) 12:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

:Delete - There are some very notable entries in the music canon with this name but this isn’t one of them. No independent coverage cited at all. WilsonP NYC (talk) 17:19, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge. The Discogs page cited by the nominator gives 30 releases, almost every one of which was put out by an artist of some note. That suggests the label meets WP:MUSIC's sense of one of the more important indies. However, a goodly number of them are by the founders of the label, the brothers Tore Johansen and Roger Johansen, both of whom, you'll note, have articles. So a merge makes some sense - but so does keeping, since the eventual redirect to one or the other musician awkwardly excludes the other, and so pragmatically a separate article kind of makes more sense. But leaving a redlink here is the worst possible conclusion. Chubbles (talk) 22:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I should have done more research before my vote, I made a mistake. The current article is thinly sourced but the label seems to clearly meet notability criteria and should be improved not deleted. WilsonP NYC (talk) 22:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete that the label may confer notability upon its artists in no way confers notability upon the label. We should never have articles on subjects which lack the secondary sourcing to grow beyond a directory entry, as this label does. Mach61 (talk) 16:22, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Discogs, last.fm and the usual musical sites that don't help notability. Besides things related to the actual inside of the human ear, there isn't anything about this record label. Dutch and Norwegian wiki articles have one source, as does this one, so no help there. Oaktree b (talk) 00:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above and definitely needs to be moved if not. It differentiates from another article by one single capitalized letter. JM (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails WP:NCORP and WP:NMUSIC. I looked at the results for searches like "Inner Ear" plateselskapet site:.no and virtually all the results are brief mentions in the context of reviews of specific albums released by the label. The best result was [57], an interview with Tore Johansen that contains a tiny bit of detail about the label itself -- but still far from meeting notability requirements. Jfire (talk) 02:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment What is the advantage of voting delete here - to add a redlink, rather than redirecting interested users to information about the label's founders (whose notability is not under question)? Chubbles (talk) 07:50, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No link[1] would be preferable, as there is no primary redirect target. Mach61 (talk) 08:31, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So...if there's one primary redirect target, we should link to that target, but if there's two primary redirect targets, we should eliminate the link altogether? That doesn't serve the user interested in the topic; it actively frustrates the process of getting to relevant information that this website is carrying about the topic in question.
