Part of a mess of David L.Cook promotion. Discography of musician whose article was recently deleted at afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David L. Cook. Whilst mentioned there this page was not properly nominated and bundled in so nominating now. If the musician is not notable his discography does not belong here.

The result was delete‎. I've now read this discussion over 3 times and I was considering closing it as No Consensus but it's clear that participating editors want SOMETHING to happen with this article, some just aren't sure what or they are presenting overly complicated proposals that other editors either disagree with or can't follow. So, I'm closing this based on those editors who voiced a clear position on what they want to happen. Just a reminder that all a closer has to work with is the discussion and we are not mind-readers.

If, by any chance, any editor wishes to recover article content to Merge elsewhere we can always restore this to Draft space but it's clear that editors don't want this article, as it is today, in the main space of the project. Liz Read! Talk! 22:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most programmes listed are re-runs. The recent RM found a consensus to merge or redirect into Heart of Asia Channel and suggested a visit to AfD. Certes (talk) 10:20, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Suppose: I'm agree with Certes, this should be the same exact like the main articles for Telenovela Channel. Also, there is no original programming regards to the HOA Channel broadcast — instead of Asian programs re-run from GMA and GTV. But I suggest the best option is to transpose immediately as the title List of programs broadcast by Heart of Asia Channel will make it looks organized. HurricaneErl 2022 (talk) 23:40, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I raised an RM suggesting such a change of name. There was consensus not to move, though discussion was about whether the page should exist at all rather than whether a list of programming which is not original should be titled "original programming". Certes (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So, the administrator will took a consideration to move the article this article as soon as possible and via CSD/AFD should be deleted as original programming if it is highly recommended to merge before deletion. HurricaneErl 2022 (talk) 05:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, no redirect NOTTVGUIDE, network originates no new content and once again another list article with zero sources besides 'the channel is launching'; we don't have network programming lists made up of all reruns. Nate • (chatter) 22:54, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm generally agree with Certes and Nate, so the best option is getting back as the article for List of programs broadcast by Heart of Asia Channel instead of merging the article like Heart of Asia Channel. HurricaneErl 2022 (talk) 02:35, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @HurricaneErl 2022: If we find consensus to keep and move the article, that would be a good new title. However, the recent RM was closed as "not moved", so please do not move the page unless and until this AfD closes with a decision to do so. Certes (talk) 13:48, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Certes: Actually you'll got it correct. Recently, another reason why Gino March moved the page without any requested moves of deletion discussion or uncontroversial redirects last November & December 2023 respectively. Also, the administrator was already declining exist the article. But for now, I just wanna said that this original programming is not suitable for the list titles in local productions especially for re-runs. If the title would be change, then the previous article would be deleted for AfD per NOTVGUIDE and TVNATIONALITY. HurricaneErl 2022 (talk) 03:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Final relist. I'm finding some proposals here hard to follow. Participants here are advocating for Deletion but the nomination mentions a Redirect or Merge and the final comment in this discussion proposals a strange opinion to move this article and then delete it (?). Hoping for some clarity especially from the nominator on what they are seeking here.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:32, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm seeking opinions: I'm not a subject expert and don't have a firm view on what to do with the page. I started with an RM because the title ("original") did not seem to match the content (re-runs). Some comments there were also unclear, perhaps because experts on the topic are unlikely to be native English speakers. The RM closer found a consensus to merge or redirect and that discussion should ideally be at AfD. I understand "redirect" here to mean BLAR. The alternative of merging would also leave a redirect, but after copying some or all of the content into Heart of Asia Channel. WP:NOTTVGUIDE (part of the WP:NOT policy) says An article on a broadcaster should not list ... current schedules, so there seems to be a reasonable case for BLAR. Certes (talk) 00:22, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct, and since the another problem for Gino March is to merge or transpose without any proofs and requests, so I'm search for the clues and I'm found the list of Philippine Television in previous years and present. But the basis for List articles should be delete and move the page as "List of programs broadcast by Heart of Asia Channel" and there is zero percent original programming and not local programming – uncertain source article.

Objectivism's rejection of the primitive[edit]

Objectivism's rejection of the primitive (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This spinoff of a detailed subtopic of Objectivism is based almost exclusively on primary sources. Out of 21 reference notes:

  • Refs 1-12, 15, and 18-21 are all primary sources.
  • Ref 16 is a newspaper reader writing to object to one of the primary sources that was published in his local paper.
  • Ref 17 does not discuss the subject at all.

That leaves just notes 13 and 14 as the only secondary source refs related to the topic. They are both brief (two sentences and one paragraph, respectively) and about specific examples rather than the general subject. At most this limited coverage might justify a paragraph in the Objectivism article; it definitely should not be puffed up into a separate article with numerous quotes from primary sources. This spin-off was deleted once in 2011, then NAC kept in 2012 without any proof of substantial coverage. Since then it was expanded with more primary source quotes, but hasn't added any new secondary sources. RL0919 (talk) 15:33, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable band, does not meet WP:BAND under any of the criteria. Almost completely unsourced with one of the oldest extant "citation needed" tags on Wikipedia. Tagged for notability for 4 years. Note that in the first nomination for deletion in 2007 some newspaper reviews were found, but these are WP:PRIMARY and not WP:SUSTAINED. Thus these do not demonstrate notability.

  • Comment - Sources Three sources are presented, these are Fuse Magazine, Volumes 28-29[5], The Grunge Diaries[6], Rebels on the Air: An Alternative History of Radio in America[7]
In The Grunge Diaries this band are mentioned as playing songs on certain dates. The mentions are passing and no information is given at all except the song title, with the exception of this one:

“Wednesday, March 17.

Industrial three-piece Tchkung! make their debut with a spontaneous showing at the Lake Union’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. They will follow up with a more conventional outing at the Oddfellows Hall, although “convention” is not a word the musicians seem familiar with.”

This is not significant coverage.
In Rebels on the Air: An Alternative History of Radio in America We have this single mention:

In 1994, Pearl Jam paid fellow Seattle rocker James Lane (of Tchkung!, among other bands) to build a micro station mobile enough to bring on tour. After some initial problems [...] the band had a transmitter in hand. “After showing Eddie how small I could actually make the thing,” Lane recalls, “it suddenly dawned on us that we could put the thing in a van and do the whole tour punk-rock style.” And so they did, dubbing themselves Monkey Wrench Radio and broadcasting their concerts.

Clearly this is about James Lane and amateur radio, not the band. It is passing for the band, and it is not even certain here that "the band" in the piece refers to this band. It probably does, but it is still passing. It is not significant coverage.
I cannot track down a copy of Fuse magazine online or through any of my library services, so I am unable to comment on that one. It is certainly possible that the magazine contains a write up of the band that would be significant and independent, potentially in a reliable source. It would need to be secondary, and potentially it could be. But at the moment we don't know one way or the other. The other two sources, being passing, should give pause here. Even if it did contain such a write up, that would be one source, and we need multiple sources to demonstrate notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies, I missed one. HONK!: A Street Band Renaissance of Music and Activism[8]. This has a write up starting at page 225. It begins with:

For years, I had been in a collective that orbited around ¡TchKung! – a Seattle band of about 9 people, with an oscillating 10–30 others of us who did auxiliary percussion, fire performance, guerrilla theater, welding, lighting, graphic design, printing detectably-counterfeit money, butoh dancing, and whatever else had to get done to mount bombastic, radically-immersive, often-illegal shows.

Although there are about two pages of this, it is not independent. This is memoir, and the author is telling us about it because they were a part of it. Sources must be independent to count towards notability. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:53, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Enough of a history in the second division and as something of a feeder club to justify an article of its own. Anwegmann (talk) 19:59, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as failing to pass the WP:GNG. The keep argument appears to be that the club at its peak reach the second division of Romanian football. This is not in and of itself a showing of notability, and seems to harken back to the NFOOTY days when we tried to assess full professional leagues before the practice was deprecated. The sources present in the article (assuming Google translated them accurately) indicate: (Source 1) The team was founded in 1936, played many years in lower leagues and merged with a another club in 2005. It never reached Division A, but did play for promotion in 2002; they lost. (Source 2) Database listing team standings/match results for 2004/5 season, with no reporting, history or analysis of the team. (Source 3) List of division standings for 2005-6 season (Source 4) What appears to be a newspaper style game story stating that the team lost to another team that was formed 48 hours prior to the match and was missing 5 starters. The story does state that 1500 spectators paid to watch the match, and does engage in some analysis about lack of support and funding for the team affecting their ability to play. (Source 5) List of division standings for 2006-7 season. On their face, sources 2, 3, and 5 count nothing for notability. Source 1 is a 3 sentence capsule summary for a "where are they now" article, and does not constitute WP:SIGCOV. Source 4 potentially could count if the source itself is reliable and independent, which I really cannot assess. Since, at best, there is 1 good source for notability, the article should be deleted.

Expansion of this should include transcranial magnetic stimulation synthetic ai and transparent brain computer interface as the predictive model of connection and training from computer brain interfaces as well as computer brain interface as examples of neuron stimulation such as in transcranial magnetic stimulation paired with functional magnetic resonance imaging and include resonance communication concepts.

Aside from the fact that that does not address the reason for deletion, tMS is not a neurofeedback software (or technique for that matter) so it would not make sense to be included.

  • Delete. "Comparison of" articles are already a bit iffy w/r/t WP:NOT, but they make some sense in cases where most items being compared are notable, as there is often usable secondary sourcing in consumer guides and reviews. That isn't the case here, as the sources appear to exclusively discuss one of the software products at a time, making it impossible to decide the fields of comparison based on WP:Due weight.

Air Ceylon Avro 748 4R-ACJ bombing[edit]

Air Ceylon Avro 748 4R-ACJ bombing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Although this is an interesting incident, from what I can tell, there is very limited coverage and per WP:NOTNEWS, the brief mention of this in the airport page at Ratmalana Airport and at Air Ceylon should be enough. The lack of fatalities also aggrevates the questionable notability of the article. GalacticOrbits (talk) 17:43, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A key factor of NOTNEWS is duration of coverage: the one source used in the article is from 20 years later. The fact it was important enough to be covered two decades after it happened is a sign there is likely more coverage. If there isn't then sure, delete, but I'm not convinced a before check was properly done. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:51, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also if there isn't sigcov redirect to Ratmalana Airport. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:02, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
mentioned in an abstract here but I can't look at the full thing.
mention here "the most sensational was the time bomb explosion on Air Ceylon's Avro 748 from Jaffna on September 7, 1978, the day the new constitution was promulgated."
mention here. "On September 1978, when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) launched its first attack by bombing an Air Ceylon"
I'm actually unsure of where to merge this now because it's explicitly described as most notable as being the first terror attack from the LTTE. Maybe merge there (if I can't find more, I would guess there's more just offline from what I can see) PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from what I can see, I suspect there probably is offline SIGCOV, however I fail to find any online, so merge to LTTE (or the airport, but it should probably be mentioned as their first attack on their page). If more coverage can be found someday I would not argue against its recreation. PARAKANYAA (talk) 16:29, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in view of later additions. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:40, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The fact there was a retrospective means that coverage was indeed at least slightly LASTING, but as it stands that's all we have at the moment, so we're currently not at GNG yet. Not sure if other lasting coverage exists. SportingFlyer T·C 18:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The additional Dutch articles make me think this is right on a notability knife edge. Wondering if there are any other LASTING articles, but right now am at a weak keep. SportingFlyer T·C 15:27, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will also point out that one of the two sources used has a wider scope than strictly the incident itself. I also support merging into the Ratmalana Airport page and having space there for information on the bombing and this aircraft specifically. Slowtationjet (talk) 17:19, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The Canadian Radio Music Awards are not a top-level music award for the purposes of passing WP:NMUSIC #8 — they'd be fine to mention if the article were properly sourced, but are in no way "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG just because the article has the word "award" in its text. To be fair, the article has been marginally better referenced in the past, but by no means well enough that just reverting to the older version would be enough to pass GNG — and even weirder, the username of the editor who blanked a lot of the article's content and its few references, two years after adding a lot of that same stuff to the article themself, was...Rozbell.

I am surprised that you have autopatrolled and still share five sources, all posted between 27th Feb, 2024 and 29th Feb 2024, which were published after the announcement of his selection. Two of those are reposts from PTI. All these sources count as one and still does not have WP:SIGCOV. If I am right, this falls under routine coverage. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 05:46, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is only natural that an astronaut will receive media coverage as soon as his name is announced. Anyway, your point is - only if they successfully reach space will they become significant.
Most of the newspapers and news media in different Indian languages have got coverage, according to you it is routine coverage. However articles may be removed, but those articles will be recreated after the spaceflight as they gain notability (people).
Well, Alexander Grebenkin- the article was written last year. On March 4, 2024, Alexander Grebenkin set off for space (SpaceX Crew-8). The article has remained unopposed for so long. Was the person notable for any reason other than being an astronaut candidate? As backup crew (SpaceX Crew-7) only? --খাঁ শুভেন্দু (talk) 03:33, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My point is, they are notable when they pass one of the basic criteria in Wikipedia:Notability (people). Yes, most of the newspapers and news media in different Indian languages have covered them, but they all pertain to a single event. He may become notable in the future but that's a discussion for another day WP:ATA#CRYSTAL.

However, All articles should be taken into account in following the strict policy.

I think that we also should think about past deletion discussions/precedent: in 2017, it was attempted to delete the Group 22 NASA astronauts articles under the same argument ("they will only become relevant once they perform their spaceflight"). In the end, there were no consensus to delete/redirect everything, and one user, @Carrite:, said that the deletion request should be created only for individual issues with each article. @SoWhy:, since you closed the past discussion, what do you think about the current case? Erick Soares3 (talk) 12:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Erick Soares3: (pinged) I closed the previous case based on the consensus in that case. This has no bearing on the consensus on this case (cf. WP:WHATABOUTX). That said, the nominator themselves correctly pointed out that per WP:ATD-R, redirecting is the better alternative to outright deletion. Regards SoWhy 18:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My point is: that case had no consensus to either delete nor redirect the pages (as you said when closing it) and the past Wikipedia examples shows that an astronaut/candidate don't need to fly to have an article (like Jeanette Epps, who had her page created in 2009). The pages may have other issues, but the lack of spaceflight experiences of the crewmembers isn't one of them, as the way the Wiki Community understood the past cases shows. Erick Soares3 (talk) 21:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And is not the case of "Other stuff exists", but the consistence on how the community have been treating similar cases (there are examples who retired without ever flying with articles). Erick Soares3 (talk) 21:56, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Erick Soares3: The nomination begins with "Fails GNG..", which is the main issue here. I mentioned WP:BLP1E as an additional criteria for deletion due to the surge in poor-quality articles once the announcement was made. Past Wikipedia deletion discussions don't necessarily represent community-wide consensus especially when they state "no consensus". Bringing up cases like Alexander Grebenkin and Jeanette Epps is what WP:WHATABOUTX asks editors to avoid. Unless a community-wide consensus has been formed elsewhere or a proposal has been passed, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Angad Pratap should be treated separately. W.r.t the multiple nominations, I did a WP:BEFORE and found that all of them fail WP:GNG. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 05:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dishonestly primary sourced advert for non notable corporation. Part of a mess of David L. Cook promotion. Bombarded with primary sources (many dead) that are not what is claimed and do not verify content. Take for example from here [14] ref 6 titled "Board member of the AMG" and ref 20 titled "Howell comes on board" are both just simple links to Howell's home page that is just titled "..:: Jason W Howell .com ::..", not the claimed different titles. [15] [16] All that page does is show his web design portfolio. It says nothing about AMG. Such blatant dishonesty continues. 16 [17] "Nowels and Cook had worked on various projects together." No mention of Cook there. 3 [18] That's a link to Nowels' contact page that does not mention AMG and is not an article titled "Nowels Vice President of Artists Music Guild" and is not published by IAMAS Corporation. 21 [19] etc.

The company itself is clearly notable, but I don't see how the IPO warrants its own article. The differences between this article and the matching section in the article about the company appear to be mostly listing routine activities related to the IPO, such as financing deals, SEC paperwork, and their IPO roadshow (all WP:ORGTRIV things, if we can apply notability criteria for companies to this).

Finally, while of course not a deciding factor in itself but certainly indicative of something: it's the only stand-alone article about an IPO itself in the Initial public offerings by year categories, as far as I could tell. For larger companies with notable IPOs, the IPO is generally mentioned in separate history of articles (e.g. Apple, Google, Microsoft - although I don't think there's enough content here for one of those).

This was originally deprodded because one user claimed, there are over half a dozen pieces of research involving ListenBrainz listed in Google Scholar, including a textbook on recommender systems. it [sic] is covered in the EFF's writeup on MetaBrainz. this should cover points 1 and 4 of software notability. When I redirected it to MusicBrainz because its notability was pretty thin, it was reverted because it seems notable, go to AfD if you disagree. So, here it is.

May rationale is that none of the content in that article assert notability. Like all the articles about MetaBrainz products, it is there to sell the product than of encyclopaedic nature.

One cited sources by EFF talk about Musicbrainz with a disclosure that one of the staff member of the cited source being a board member of MB.

If I was you, I'd save your breath and use them on MB and improve on their already thin notability rather than waste them here. Subproducts are rarely notable.

Also, I didn't see any major claims about this faction applying for recognition by the Election Commission of India.

  • Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. If somebody wants to use reviews of their soap as a measure of notability, this would go towards notability of the product, not towards notability of the company. I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 13:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More generally, this is really not the type of company the stringent standards of WP:NCORP is meant to include; it has multiple products which meet GNG, and there are plently of genuinely independent (i.e. not reconstitued from press releases) primary sources to use for verification.

  • Response Thank you for the analysis but you need to correctly apply GNG/WP:NCORP criteria. The Marketing Dive reference says very clearly that the Marketing Dive was provided with company data and the article goes on to quote extensively from company sources. There is no in-depth "Independent Content" in this reference and it relies entirely on data/comments from the the company itself - fails both WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. The Forbes reference and also relies entirely on information provided by the company, both in a previous interview and in an email. Also fails WP:NCORP and WP:ORGIND. HighKing++ 18:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HighKing using primary sources is what defines a secondary source. The relevant criterion of ORIGIND states that it is meant to exclude sources which lack original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject, which is applicable to both sources (the Marketing Dive source includes orignial analysis of TikTok as an advertising platform). Mach61 23:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • You appear to be conflating the type of source (primary or secondary) with the quality of the content. You've reproduced a part from ORGIND. Immediately preceding that quote is another qualification such that we do not regard content which was initially created/produced/articulated by the company/execs/customer/related party that is then copied, regurgitated, and published in whole or in part by independent parties as meeting the criteria for establishing notability. As per WP:CORPDEPTH, whatever independent content exists in the article must *also* be provide an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the *company*.
The Marketing Dive article relies *entirely* on regurgitating the topic company's information and quotes and contains no in-depth information *on the company* which isn't sourced back to the company. You say it contains original analysis on TikTok as an advertising platform - two points, first this article isn't about TikTok, second all of the relevant TikTok information related to the company originated from the company as you can tell from the quotations.
I've also said why the Forbes article fails - pretty much the same reasons. In summary, it's a 16-sentence long puff profile mostly about the founder and includes only basic generic information on the company (mostly its funding). HighKing++ 15:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Scrabble variants#Number game variants. Fails GNG and NPRODUCT. The sources in the article are insufficient to establish notability (the SaskToday article was authored by "The Meeple Guild", which does not seem particularly reliable) and I could not find additional significant coverage. Merging seems to be the best alternative to deletion. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:54, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Voorts (I have added partial-merged section at Scrabble_variants#King's_Cribbage). WP:NOTHOWTO would expunge much of the article (particularly since winningmoves is a online shop) as qualitative coverage seems slight. SaskToday review should be considered contributing towards SIGCOV from an RS despite the pseudonym (they have ~200 reviews and ST has an editorial policy etc), but the Bukszpan review appears to be relatively minor coverage within a book on games. Note that it appears that the game was released as Cross Crib in 1997, and was renamed King's Cribbage in 2001[22] but that'd require an RS to avoid OR. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 03:33, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to List of stations owned by Innovate Corp.: the license has been around since 1984, so at least in theory there should be more to say about this station than the numerous stations started by DTV America in the 2010s. But it looks as though even the ex-Una Vez Más/Northstar Azteca America stations (which was this station's path into HC2/Innovate, and still was not the original ownership/programming) may have (at least on the LPTV end) marginal-to-no-notability, based on the (lack of) significant coverage. (Certainly, any coverage it did get that could count for notability, if any, would have been pre-HC2.) For what it's worth, this is another nominal survivor of a bulk nomination from last year.

  • Comment For the benefit of those unable to read Finnish, the Finnish language sourcing is not very solid. Refs 1, 2 and 10 are non-independent and 8 is a bog-standard event advertisement. Ref 20 is merely a name in a list, and also incidentally non-independent. I can't seem to access 11 and 16-19, but based on the titles I'm suspicious that at least 16-18 are passing mentions and would discount them unless someone can describe the content in some detail. Based on what I've seen ref #6 is the only Finnish language source I'm confident actually contributes towards GNG. -Ljleppan (talk) 08:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The public sculptures in the Kupittaa Park's playground mentioned above by User:Ben Azura were part of a community art project led by other people and were apparently demolished in 2013.[23][24] Being part of such a project is not a strong evidence of notability. And if the sculptures are to be used in establishing his notability, we need to know more about his contribution to the project, e.g. what were the individual works by him?

  • Support: I supported the deletion of this article 10 years ago, and I support it even more now. Chromecast and Google Cast are no longer the flashy new things they were when they first launched 10 years ago. Tech publications don't pay much attention to Google Cast support now that it has become ubiquitous. As such, our ability to reliably source apps' compatibility with the protocol, across multiple platforms, both when support is added or removed, is compromised. This list will never be anything more than an incomplete and out of date one. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 20:58, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Google Cast: the target already has a long list of compatible devices. This list of compatible apps would be a perfect fit there, perhaps as a collapsible table. The table itself is well verified, and the issue of independent notability is avoided by such a merge. Owen× ☎ 15:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Most of these cites are years old, and several of the citations are to the Google Play Store and iTunes, which almost certainly will be difficult to maintain or will go out of date. By my count, there's only one citation to a secondary source dated 2023, and none dated 2022. I think merging also doesn't solve the NOTDATABASE issue (this is basically analogous to NOTCHANGELOG cases). voorts (talk/contributions) 17:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    These are all excellent arguments to not keeping this article as a standalone page. But for a section in an existing well-sourced article like Google Cast, all we need is for the information to be verifiable and encyclopedic, just like the list of compatible devices already included in the target page. I think an article about the Google Cast functionality would be incomplete without a mention of the apps that support it. Whether we need an exhaustive table or just a mention of a few of the more notable apps is debatable, which is why I proposed a collapsible table for this section, so as not to clutter the page. Owen× ☎ 18:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I would be fine with merging compatible apps that have SIGCOV in RSes, but otherwise, I think including an incomplete list of potentially outdated information about apps is not useful to readers. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Individual items in a list do not require independent SIGCOV for each, only verifiability. Notability is only needed for the overall subject where the list is included, which we already have in the target. But I agree that any item that can't be verified should be removed during the proposed merge. Owen× ☎ 18:27, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm wondering what that means in practice; given that many of the sources are years old, would the proposal be to add {{as of}} tags throughout the list, or would the proposal be to try to verify that in February 2024 each item on the list is still Google compatible, and only keep those that can be verified? voorts (talk/contributions) 18:31, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia is not a current compatibility guide. We keep articles about software that ran on defunct operating systems, and console games that played on platforms that are long gone. A list of apps that have, at some point, supported Chromecast or Google Cast would be appropriate and in line with other encyclopedic material we rightly keep. Owen× ☎ 19:09, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand where you're coming from but my !vote is still to delete. These sorts of lists should be useful for readers. A potentially outdated list of random apps (such as "Big Web Quiz for Chromecast") that have at some point been compatible with Chromecast/Google Cast is not useful and amounts to a changelog. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:25, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I know, right? I've been looking for a new game for my Atari 2600, but it turns out that almost all the games listed here have been out of stock for decades. Wikipedia should really stop advertising itself as a useful, up-to-date product catalog. Owen× ☎ 19:42, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that list is distinguishable. First, it meets NLIST, LISTCRIT, and LISTPURP because the vast majority of items on the list appear to be notable and the items as a whole are treated as a group by reliable sources. It's not just an unencyclopedic directory of games. Second, there's no risk of that information going out of date and the list could be made complete if it is not already, since nobody is making new Atari 2600 games as far as I am aware (and if they are, it would be a rare occurrence, making updating the list easy). By contrast, there are millions of apps on the Google and Apple app stores, some of which might change their compatibilities or lose functionality as a result of system or other updates. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:05, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    The thing is, in this case it's not likely to become notable soon. The National Dialogue Conference was a full decade ago, and Yemen is facing renewed military actions by a US-led coalition leaving its political future in total uncertainty. There is no reason to assume that these political subdivisions will ever be implemented along the lines of the original proposal. If and when there is progress towards federalization, covered by secondary sources, it will become appropriate to create articles. signed, Rosguill talk 18:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Federalization of Yemen alongside Azal Region, Hadramout Region, Janad Region, Sheba Region, Tihama Region. There is no significant coverage of these regions as federal regions of Yemen, although Aden and Hadramout are separately notable as historical political and geographical areas. There is no reason to believe that the regions' status or their level of coverage will change anytime soon given the political situation in Yemen at the moment and the fact that the implementation of this federalization plan has been an open-ended proposal since 2017. The current articles are misleading and do a disservice to the reader by implying that these are actually-existing or soon-to-exist divisions. signed, Rosguill talk 17:50, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hadramout Region article is a relatively well done article; i think it should be merged with the hadhramout article. Another thing to do with the Aden and Janad articles is to make them about the geographic and historical region and not the political federal region as they are very notable but no articles about them really exist at the moment. Also can i have some to copy these articles to my sandbox incase they actually become implemented? Abo Yemen✉ 18:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My suggestion is that these should be redirects for now, so the text will remain accessible in the pages' history, accessible at any time via the page history or direct link. signed, Rosguill talk 18:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Aha seems fine for me (for articles other than the Aden region and Hadhramout region which i suggest transforming them to articles about the geographical/historical region). Abo Yemen✉ 18:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For Hadhramout, is there anything in that scope that isn't covered by Hadhramaut? For Aden we do appear to currently lack an article that discusses a region beyond the city (other than Gulf of Aden, which is mostly about the waterway, and various articles about historical states in the area e.g. State of Aden, Aden Protectorate, Chief Commissioner's Province of Aden, etc.). Part of the challenge then would be identifying what the full extent of Aden is, as defined by reliable sources. signed, Rosguill talk 19:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the Hadhramout article, the history section is noticeably different; Economy section could be expanded abit by the merge; and the "Architecture & Tourism" section could be added as an "Architecture" section to the main article along with some parts of the "Agriculture" section Abo Yemen✉ 03:17, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And for the aden region we can try to find sources from the access that we have to the wikipedia library Abo Yemen✉ 03:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was selective merge to multiple targets‎. There is clear consensus here that the article, as currently framed, is a violation of WP:NOR; the "keep" votes assert usefulness without rebutting the concern about selection criteria. There are convincing arguments that there is useful material on this page that could be merged elsewhere, but there is no consensus on a merge target, and reasonable arguments have been presented for multiple targets. As such I'm seeing consensus for a selective merger, but also consensus that this shouldn't continue to exist in its present form. So I'm going to redirect this to the most obvious general target, which is History_of_American_football#Intercollegiate_football_(1869–present), but this is only to preserve the history and allow interested editors to perform mergers as needed; the redirect can be retargeted as needed.

  • Delete per nom and per outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of historically significant Michigan Wolverines football games. Initially, I was inclined to suggest that the list be massively pared down, but the concept of "historically significant" is way too subjective and invites anyone with a particular passion to add games they believe to be important and interesting. For example, the list includes 14 different "first in the South" entries, e.g., first soccer-style college football game in the South (1873), first rugby-style football game in the South (1880), first football game in "the Deep South" (1889), the game that "signalled football's arrival in the South" (1890), the "South's first great intersectional triumph" (1905), "the South's first triumph" against one of the Big Four (1910), Alabama's first victory over an Eastern power (1922), "the game that changed the south" (1926), first African-American to play against a white team in the south (1947), first African-American to play in the "Deep South" (1956), first African-American to play in one of the "big" Southern conferences (1963), first African-American to play in the SEC (1967), first inter-racial game in the South (1969), first fully integrated team to play in the South (1970), etc. Trying to pare this down and then policing it to what is truly "historically significant" is next to impossible. Moreover, the process of paring it down inevitably delves deeply into original research and subjectivity. According, nuking it is the best outcome. Cbl62 (talk) 09:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think this is an article I originally created or at least was invovled in way back when. I think it's good to have such a list on some level to help with navigation, general research, etc. But Cbl62 is correct--what does "historically significant" mean? I used to think I knew... but now I'm convinced that I do not. In this list, there have been many attempts to put "fan favorites" in to pose as "historically significant" games that general consensus show really are not. It's my hope that this discussion can turn up a better criteria, title, or some other specific measure for inclusion in a list like this because of its usefulness.

  • Comment does this list of "historically significant" games differ from the full list of individual games at Category:College football games? Can the article title be changed to something like "List of notable college football games" and include all games that have their own articles? MOS:TIMELINE or Wikipedia:Timeline would seem to allow this. If most of the individual games category are already included in the list, the only difficulty I see would be in finding a way to include or exclude most (all?) Bowl Games, all of which have their own article and would quickly overwhelm the list of individual regular season games. PK-WIKI (talk) 18:08, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The list includes many games that do not have articles. Cbl62 (talk) 19:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are 103 games on this list. There are approximately 190 categories in the Category:College football games. A sampling of several suggests each category has between 5 and 10 games listed. So yes, this list differs substantially. Further, a game having its own page does not make it significant, and at least some games with tremendous significance do not have a page. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 21:49, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changing it to a list of “notable” or “individual” games with articles would mean that literally hundreds of playoff, rose, orange, sugar, cotton and tangerine bowls etc would qualify and the list would become enormous. Cbl62 (talk) 18:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Each of the year rows in a future table at this article could end with a row linking to the annual 2023–24 NCAA football bowl games, 2023–24 College Football Playoff, and 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship article(s).

  • Delete per nom. "Historically significant" is a woefully vague criterion. Clarityfiend (talk) 14:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete nor rename As a student of early American football (before 1920), I know that many of the games listed are of great importance in the evolution of American football. The first game, Harvard-McGill, Yale-Eton, the Concessionary game, the Block game, etc. Games stating “first in the (region)” demonstrate the spread of football throughout the country from its northeast origins, and also the transfer of influence from the northeast to other regions. Entries containing superlatives such as “arrival of the south” are from documented sources and again demonstrate how the other regions gradually came to supersede the northeast in football prominence. The African-American entries demonstrate the progress of integration in football, mirroring that of American society. Later games are not as influential as the oldest ones, but nonetheless might be considered significant. While I agree that some entries are merely interesting or represent fandom, to rename the list as “Notable College Football Games” would only invite more of the same. As I mentioned, my knowledge is in the early days of football; I am much less informed moving forward. The list has informed me of many important games from later times, and no doubt has done the same for others. To delete the page would be a disservice to those interested in college football history. I do not have an answer to the problem of entries that are merely interesting and not actually historically significant; perhaps one criterion would be to require a documented, published source providing that information.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.76.167.46 (talk • contribs) 17:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A better criterion would be one or more sources that describe the development of the game and thus list the historically significant games. This would then demonstrate treatment of the subject as a group or set, both defining the list inclusion parameters and satisfying WP:LISTN. As you say you are a student of the early game, can you point to any such treatments? You can just link to books with hyperlinks if you like, by enclosing them in single square brackets. Thanks. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Really, there aren't any. I do not know of a single comprehensive, objective history of college football. The best is probably "The History of American Football: Its Great Teams, Players and Coaches" by Allison Danzig - but that was published in 1956. College football histories since then have all been of the coffee table variety, concentrate on particular teams for the sake of fans, or are about particular subjects, such as the influence of television or various academic and recruiting scandals. There is also a big difference between what might be considered historically significant in the 19th century and today. The particular games I mentioned all radically changed the way American football is played. No game today could possibly do that. But in a relative sense, modern games can still be considered significant - first playoff game, first female player, etc. Some of the other listed recent games are dubious, which leads me to another point. There is a much higher concentration of games listed from the past ten or twenty years than previously, no doubt reflecting the memories of the posters and not an actual objective consideration of the significance of those games. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It is that lack of treatment that makes it hard to argue for significance here. But what of Danzig (1956)? Does that at least describe or list all the games that led to the modern development? It may be an old source, but that might still be a good steer. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I have made several entries, realizing that the most critically important historical games that defined American football were not included. Danzig is the primary source. Other early significant games can be documented by Danzig, Melvin Smith, and another important early work, Football, The American Intercollegiate Game by Parke Davis, 1911. Most of the other early games listed appear valid and are documented, though I have not checked the sources. Yes, Danzig (oversized, small font, 525 pp) could be a source for later games, but I have not studied beyond 1920. For games beyond that, as I mentioned previously, the magnitude of the importance of individual games is much less than the pioneer games. Instead, they represent important concepts in the development of college football. The result of the first BSC playoff game is not that important, but it represents the beginning of Division IA playoffs, which is important. Other such games, such as the end of winning or losing streaks, the last college tie and first college overtime game, and team scoring records, I can accept as being historically significant in a modern sense. Stuff like individual records and ridiculously long overtime games (and the absurd scores created by them) are mere trivia, not significant, and should not be included. The one about the Spanish-only broadcast is a milestone in television, not in football. That Katie Hnida played in a Division IA game is historically significant; the next entry stating she scored in a game not nearly as much. The famous "The Play" game between Stanford and California is memorable, not for the game itself but for its last play. But does that make it historically significant? Maybe, because so many people who are not normally sports fans knew about it and still remember it. But that it kept John Elway out of a bowl game is mere fan griping (or bragging). I'm tempted to edit some of these latter entries, but not being well informed on recent history, I am reluctant to do so. That being said, some of the late entries are clearly fan postings and are not even coherently written. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 00:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I also closely follow the early history of American football, but love off the game is not a reason to ignore the massive WP:OR and WP:LISTN issues with this list. For those interested in learning about the early history of the game, there are far more effective and contextualized ways of communicating that history. See, e.g., Early history of American football (sport-wide treatment) or History of Michigan Wolverines football in the early years (team specific). I continue to believe that the list under discussion should be deleted, though I am open to merging any important parts not already covered into Early history of American football. Cbl62 (talk) 16:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, I don't know what the WP:OR and WP:LISTN issues even are. But I argue not out of a love for the game, but for the scholarly value of the article. I disagree that integrating these games into other articles is more effective. It may be less so. Comprehensive articles focus on larger trends and a wider scope, and it can be incongruent to insert details of particular games within that context. A timeline history of important games such as this provides a different manner of interpreting college football history, and thus has its own value. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 23:31, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The WP:OR issue is at the very core of the list, i.e., the process of deciding which games are "historically significant" consists of "original research". The LISTN issues include whether "it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" (as per your own comment below that "there aren't multiple sources, or even any sources" supporting the selection of historically significant games). Cbl62 (talk) 00:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You take my quote out of context. I said I know of no published academic histories on college football concerning important games of the past 50 years, and not involving such esoteric topics as recruiting scandals. But there is such discussion on the web. While I would not accept the validity of a fan blog, blogs by established authors with established companies may be of value.
I disagree that labelling games as historically significant is a matter of original research if they are backed up by verifiable sources. The criteria defined in the article are good ones: a game must boast notable historical "firsts" (e.g., the first game) or have had a substantial influence on the sport (e.g. the conversion from soccer to rugby). This influence might stem from significant rule alterations (e.g. the block games) or the introduction of enduring traditions (e.g. homecoming). Historically significant games should hold a prominent place in comprehensive historical narratives of college football (they do, at least as far as the publication of Danzig). Games that might be significant exclusively to the fan base of a specific team should be excluded from this list. (agree)
I agree that policing is a difficulty, but I think there are more of us concerned with the quality of the article than there are overzealous fans wanting to promote their favorite team.
I did attempt to improve the quality of the article by the strategies you suggest in your first entry, but some pedant somewhere running Huggle rolled them back, accusing me of vandalism, I suppose. He probably never even looked at the content. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 01:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And I thank you for that. I wasn't going to restore myself.

To follow up on my previous comment, a quote from Michael Oriard, Reading Football: How the Popular Press Created an American Spectacle: "The best succinct account of the rise of collegiate football can be found in Davis's book, and among recent histories, in Smith, Sports and Freedom, chaps. 6 and 7. It is a remarkable fact that the only full-scale histories of intercollegiate football (emphasis mine) remain the anecdotal one published in 1956 by sportswriter Allison Danzig, History of American Football, and a more recent year-by-year journal, Tom Perrin's Football." Oriard is a former NFL player turned scholar and college professor. I disagree with his characterization of Danzig as "anecdotal". Danzig's work, more than 500 pages, has two segments of roughly equal length - a topical discussion of the development of college football, and year-by-year highlights. He does has voluminous quotes from contemporary observers such as Walter Camp and Knute Rockne, which, I suppose, is where the anecdotal assessment comes from. I am familiar with the works by Smith and Perrin; neither comes close to the in-depth discussions by Davis and Danzig. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral I can't come up with a guideline-based reason to keep this, but not sure deleting all of this really improves Wikipedia that much. Maybe we could limit it to games that multiple sources say are historically significant. That wouldn't be that much different than List of films considered the best. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    There aren't multiple sources, or even any sources, for games from the past 50 years or so. See my above post for a discussion about a lack of scholarly publication on college football history. For those games, it is more a matter of applying reason. First division IA playoff game? Sure. First game played in Asia? Nah. Many of these entries have no citation, or have citations that do not support the conclusion. Example, the entry on the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, badly written, does not state the significance of the game, nor does the article is cites. I know, though - it decided the national championship outside of the traditional power bowl games that were reserved for conference champions. Thus, it was the first step in removing the bowl system in favor of a playoff system. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to a lack of objective criteria for what makes a game "historically significant." Important games have their own article already and are grouped together in Template:Historic college football games Frank Anchor 20:13, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Yes, if we're going to keep a template for navigation / grouping at Template:Historic college football games then we should instead just make it a list/timeline article at List of notable college football games (or similar). Delete the template instead once that's done. PK-WIKI (talk) 18:18, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Not all important games have their own pages. The critically important games of Yale-Eton, the Concessionary Game, and the Block games, for instance, all hugely important games in the development of American football, do not have pages. They did not even appear on this list until I put them there yesterday. The criteria specified in the second paragraph of the article are good ones, and clearly some of the entries violate those criteria. For example, three entries regarding firsts in the south involve Vanderbilt. Two of those use the same source and the familiar "Vandy" substituting for Vanderbilt. Clearly, those are fan entries and should be deleted. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 23:23, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about the Sporting News source I listed above regarding the most impactful historical college football games? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
BeanieFan11, It must be remembered that the Sporting News article was written by a professional journalist required to produce content on a deadline, and that the nature of his and other such blogs is entertainment, not scholarly research. Note that neither this list nor another included elsewhere on this page include discussions of the Block games, the Yale-Eton game, or the Concessionary game, matches which had overwhelming and immediate influence on the development of the distinctly American football game and that are discussed in both Davis and Danzig. The author of the Sporting News blog has probably never even heard of them. His assertion that the 1982 championship game is the most influential in college football history is absurd. Nonetheless, articles of this sort, when written by a professional for an established publication such as Sporting News, still have value in that they bring attention to modern games that are significant, even if not nearly as important as those formative early games. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Medium reliable; with the bad refs script it shows up yellow with hover-over text stating "reliability depends on contributor or topic". I guess draftifying to projectspace could work, as long as criteria were a lot better defined (i.e. games are included if they're in multiple lists/discussions of the most historic college football games overall, rather than "most historic" only among some subcategorization (e.g. "most historic USC games")).

    BeanieFan, that is exactly what I have been trying to do, but most of my edits get rolled back, some no sooner than I make them. I could make many more, but there is no point in continuing. I tried to address my reasoning in my comments, but to no avail. I am, however, going to respond to some of the criticisms of my entries made by Cbl62. I have attempted some of the cleaning up suggested by him (her?) in his first post, only to have my work deleted. Melvin Smith's work should not be dismissed for being self-published. What publisher would publish a 700-page listing of 19th century football scores? Smith is a respected, published (not just by himself) college football historian. He was one of the founders of, and contributors to, the influential College Football Data Warehouse and a member of, and contributor to, the College Football Researchers Association. He spent decades travelling the country visiting research libraries to uncover the results of thousands of previously unknown and forgotten football games. I have personally corresponded with him. In one published article, he discusses how he was thrown out of the library at Princeton Theological Seminary when it was discovered he was there to research football games. Is it Cbl62's assertion that Smith merely made all his research up? To what end? True, there is no collaborating documentation, because no one else has ever done the research, and because of its esoteric nature, probably no one ever will. That doesn't mean his work is false, and I know of no source that refutes Smith or says he is a fraud. First games - if the College of New Jersey vs. Princeton Theological Seminary games are not significant as the true first intercollegiate football games, then why is 1869 New Jersey vs. Rutgers? (The College of New Jersey did not change its name to Princeton College until the 1890s.) Cbl62's objection to me stating that New Jersey/Rutgers is conventionally considered to be the first intercollegiate game - to what point does conventional knowledge need to be cited? Any source, anywhere, will tell you that very thing. The few references you can find to the pre-1969 games will say they were only considered practice or exhibition games, and thus do not count, though there is no evidence of such. No games at the time were considered "official" or involved scheduling by the Athletics department or the Athletic Director (neither of which existed), nor did they have any sanction from the colleges in question regarding actually representing the university. They were, instead, scheduled by communication between team captains. Yale's first game is significant because of the overwhelming importance of Yale and Walter Camp in the development of American football. But I did not make this superlative up - Parke Davis states that very thing in the work I cited. Not my entry, but the Washington & Lee vs. VMI game as the first in the south is documented elsewhere, not just by the W&L website. There may have been earlier games in the south, but this is the first known. I could go on, but what's the point? In his zeal to have this page deleted, Cbl62 will continue to delete any entries made by me, even though my entries are an attempt to improve and save the page and are a follow-up to his own suggestions. I have to wonder why he continues to edit a site that he wants to kill. 149.76.167.46 (talk) 20:48, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand that you have been trying to improve it - and I'm not sure I necessarily agree with the reversions of your edits - but I think it would all better be discussed on the article talk page on whether to consider Smith reliable, what games to include, etc. That's why I suggest moving it to Wikipedia:WikiProject College football/List of historically significant college football games, where there are no time restraints - that way we can organize everything and work out exactly how this list will be done. I hope you will continue to try to work with us on this - I'm actually quite interested at the potential pre-1869 football games. BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:21, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:149.76.167.46 Wikipedia must be based on "WP:RELIABLE" published sources. Per Wikipedia policy, self-published works such as the Smith work are not considered reliable. See WP:RSSELF. If the earlier games you mentioned were truly "college football" and truly historic, surely they would have been discussed in some depth in reliable sources in the 170 years since they were played. To the contrary, the 1869 Princeton vs. Rutgers football game has long been recognized in dozens of reliable sources as the first college football game. If you want to rewrite the history books and refute what all of these reliable sources say, that is an exceptional claim that requires highly reliable sourcing. See Exceptional claims require exceptional sources ("Any exceptional claim requires multiple high-quality sources."). The IP editor's efforts to add games unsupported by reliable sources convinces me now more than ever that this list is an invitation to "original research" and needs to be deleted (or, at the very least, moved out of main space and into project space).

  • Merge to Early history of American football. I can't, in all honesty, say that I think this article should be kept. The problem (as has been noted) is that the framing is not sufficiently tight, and the definition of "historically significant" is not backed by any good sourcing per WP:LISTN that treats these as a group. But there is good information on the page that mentions some games that were undoubtedly historically significant as the game developed, and like many forms of football around the world, college and school football is where development happened. That is good detail, and an IP editor provided some sources that support the notability of that subset of this page. The problem then lies in how it is presented to the reader. Another editor with expertise in this area pointed out the Early History page, and suggested they would support a merge there, despite their delete !vote. Looking at that page, it is far fuller than this, and anyone wanting to understand the development of the early game will find more suitable material there. However, I also note that this page has mergeable content not found on that page. For instance, this page mentions the 1873 Yale game, after which, apparently, Yale lobbied for 11 man teams. This does not seem to get a mention on the target page. So that page could be improved by information here. Moreover, editors there might decide to tabulate the specific games mentioned there, as they are tabulated here. These are content decisions for that page, but ultimately that page will be improved by a merge from here. I note that arguments have been made for refactoring this list and keeping it under a different title. My suggestion is that we merge first. If we then find that there is a reason to split out a table of games that are shown to be a notable collection per LISTN, then this merge is without prejudice against forming a new list page under an appropriate title in the future. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:19, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Disagree with that merge target since it would only cover the games until 1932. There is valuable information about several notable and well-sourced games that would be lost in such a merge by simple virtue of not being part of the "early history". I might be willing to support if it also included Modern history of American football as a merge target. If only one page can be chosen, then it should be History of American football#Intercollegiate football (1869–present). Left guide (talk) 21:14, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The merge target will be where the redirect points, whereas there is nothing stopping mergeable content being merged into more than one page. For that reason, I am happy to agree with merge to History of American football#Intercollegiate football (1869–present) if that will achieve a consensus.

This page is entirely unsourced, poorly written, and confusingly describes the concept of an ebook while adamantly claiming it's not one. I saw nothing here worth preserving, so I was going to blank and redirect this to ebook. However, when reviewing the history of the page I noticed that the first revision seemed to be describing web fiction instead. This puts this page in a weird spot. We could:

  1. Delete this page
  2. Redirect it to ebook
  3. Redirect it to web fiction
  4. Create a disambiguation page between the two subjects

I can't quite decide which, so I'm curious what your thoughts are. InvisibleUp (talk) 00:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to ebook: The article defines an "online book" as a resource in book-like form that is only available to read on the Internet. For what it's worth, I don't think I've ever heard of an "online book" as something that, as the article claims, differs from the common idea of an e-book by mere virtue of never having been published in print. Indeed, I note that ebook says: some e-books exist without a printed equivalent. I'd be thrilled if someone can support Online book's current interpretation of definitions, but my hunch is that this is the kind of article that results when editors ignore WP:NOTDICTIONARY and don't cite their sources, such that Wikipedia now hosts a dubious distinction that, likely, has basis neither in common parlance nor in professional editorial and publishing circles. Quite separately, Web fiction instinctively sounds to me as though it is (sometimes, but not necessarily) a type of ebook, and therefore seems inappropriate as a redirect target.

  • Delete. I don't think there's any reason to redirect this. This is a definition, and it's accurate (indeed, "online book" does not mean "ebook", and yes, we did actually talk about online books this way in 2005, when the article was written). But it's just a dictionary definition. I can't really see any encyclopedic value in keeping it, nor do I see any at all in redirecting people to something it is not (ebook). -- asilvering (talk) 17:40, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, to be clear, it was not describing web fiction in the first revision. It's still describing online books: that is, a book that is online. Digitization and uploading to the internet aren't the same thing, and neither is reading an electronic copy and reading a copy online. -- asilvering (talk) 17:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to ebook Article states online books are different from ebooks, but does not provide any evidence for that. Online books are thought of as ebooks. Deleting the article would not make much sense, as an ebook is an online book and redirecting this to ebook would help people searching for ebook. This article is not written properly and does not contain any sources.

    Hi. I'm the one starting this list, back in 2017. I am no expert on Wikipedia, but together with others (especially @Bolleoystein) we have worked on this list regularly. The main media and news broadcaster in Norway, NRK, is daily using this list. We have been trying to get someone to cater and care for this data somewhere else, but have not been successful on that. It is true, there are 1441 songs about Oslo (mentioning the city, a street, people, etc.). Similar lists are for many other cities. In Europe only Paris and London have more songs about their city.

    i probably should send those off as well... ltbdl (talk) 10:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Those lists generally contain only songs for which either the artist or song is sufficiently notable to justify a standalone article.

IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 15:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Beware of the other stuff fallacy and don't drop hints about deleting New York and Paris articles too. I also question how the criterion "about Oslo" has been used for this list. Just by browsing near the top, I found the entry "Aker Brygge (instrumental)" and must honestly ask how an instrumental is about anything, even though this one is named after an Oslo neighborhood. If all the other 1400+ songs in the list happen to mention Oslo in some fashion, then kudos for all the research that has been done by this article's editors. But is that research compelling for the reader? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:11, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Why is that irrelevant? List of songs about cities is great list, linking to numerous cities. My point is that linking these lists together is interesting to many people. As for you question on "Aker Brygge" as an instrumental, several songs on the Oslolist are instrumentals, some of them being a tribute to Oslo, to places in Oslo, or people in Oslo. The same applies for many cities, I beleive. As for the New York-list, e.g. "87th Street" is in the list, also an instrumental, by New York Jazz Quartet. I have no doubt that song is about New York. Zanzibar 1001 (talk) 13:14, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Many of your responses throughout this discussion are running afoul of the other stuff fallacy that I already linked. Other articles with lists of songs about cities are not infallible. Some are fine the way they are, some need to be improved, some should be deleted. This article about Oslo is not helped or harmed by the existence of articles about New York or Paris or anywhere else, all of which have their own issues. Instead, this article must stand on its own, and must survive the blue-linked policies that several people have cited. Here's another: saying that an article or its topic is "interesting" is not a valid argument for a deletion discussion per WP:INTERESTING. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 22:17, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment How about moving this list to the Norwegian wiki instead of deleting it? If indeed NRK is using the list, that may make it within notability, but I'd like to see some proof of this.

In fact the linked WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE says there is no consensus on what do to with this sort of content.

    There likely is a place on Wikipedia for lists of songs about cities, and I'm sure there are sources to support WP:NLIST through local newspaper articles &c. discussing music in each city. But these lists should, in my view, only list songs that are either notable by themselves or for their artist. I have in mind that, when I was visiting a city on a school exchange, my hosting parents put on a song in their car dedicated to the city, which they said was famous. So I imagine readers want to know about the handful of notable songs associated with each city, but I'm not sure who's interested in a comprehensive list of 1,441(!) songs written about Oslo. I appreciate AfD is not clean-up, but I think starting anew from the sources is likely easier than assessing the notability of 1,441 songs (WP:TNT). IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 14:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, mainly because of the comprehensive breach of the WP:OR policy. It also fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. For startes, who knows which sources many of these songs were dug up from. While "songs about Oslo" might not be an inherently non-encyclopedic topic as such, the songs in this list differ wildly in their connection to Oslo and to eachother, ostensibly making the grouping of these songs a made-up one. Look at the edit history. Some songs have been included because they mention a metro, and Oslo is the only Norwegian city with a metro. Some namedrop a location in the city, but does that make them "about" Oslo? What does that term even mean? What this list really is, is a subset of the "... in popular culture" articles that were popular, but were ultimately purged 10-15 years ago. See for instance Tallahassee, Jonestown, Maine, Bexhill and Iceland for AFDs about small towns, large towns and even countries - the only difference now being that "popular culture" has been narrowed down to "songs".

  • Delete: I also couldn't find any sources. Before we declare a hoax, I think the race is on to find somewhere that there was some establishment, whose name could reasonably be interpreted as Jilin People's Stadium, that existed in 2006! On that question, I have four curiosities to point out:
  1. The place marked as Jilin People's Stadium in Baicheng on Google Maps doesn't inspire much confidence: the Chinese label is simply "People's Stadium".
  2. Patken4, the editor who created this article, is still active and seems in good standing. While over 100 of the 10,700(!) articles they have created over their long service in Wikipedia have been deleted, including on similar sports venues which were left unreferenced for a long while, a quick sample suggests that when these articles were brought to AfD, sources demonstrating their existence were usually recovered. And browsing that list, it seems like back in '06, the editor created many articles for planned sports infrastructure projects that never materialised, or for stadiums that subsequently adopted different names or English-language translations. Either could explain our difficulty.
  3. The stadium lost half its seating capacity in an unexplained edit on 13 July 2014 by Spetsnaz1991, an editor blocked two years later for copyright violations. If they were a good-faith editor, this might be some hope that the stadium had some notability ten years ago.
  4. The only results that really return for me relate to Yanji People's Stadium, demolished in 2013. Coupled with the survey of other deleted articles, is it possible that, around 2006, there was some discussion that its replacement (if by then it had been considered) be named after the province, not the city? Then again, who created the article Yanji People's Stadium, but our very own Patken4? IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The talk page has this source for a stadium that never operated before being demolished and made a public square. Zanahary (talk) 03:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Oooh, interesting! It might be translation issues (I can neither speak nor read Chinese!), but what I'm seeing is that the stadium in that article did exist between 1949 and sometime after the 1980s; it was originally named Jilin People's Stadium, but later named Jilin Beishan Stadium. This (probably non-WP:RS) childhood memory account attests to the same thing. It doesn't seem like either the English-language or Chinese-language Wikipedia carries an article on that stadium in either name, however, and it still doesn't explain where 25,000 or 50,000 came from. I can't see anything resembling a 25,000-seater stadium near where that stadium once was. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 03:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Very interesting! Zanahary (talk) 04:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The description and map in the 163.com and toutiao.com articles seem to be more or less consistent with satellite imagery over the area (43°50'23.32"N, 126°31'51.92"E) in 2005 and 2007 (see Google Earth). By 2010 the sat imagery shows the park pictured in the toutiao.com article. Sean.hoyland (talk) 09:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I see! So perhaps this was the stadium intended in 2006 after all.
    It seems like an interested editor (with far more competence in Chinese-language sources than me!) could possibly find enough sources to write Jilin Beishan Stadium, to which the article could redirect, but functionally, I think there is nothing from the page history worth preserving to avoid deletion for now.

  • Delete. The only mentions of this supposed stadium I can find are this article, a Reddit post about this article, and auto-generated YouTube videos. Keep now that notability has been demonstrated. Cortador (talk) 13:38, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep after I rewrote the article. I added these sources to the article:

    I did not add this source as it is a self-published source. But this source indicates there is even more coverage in historical chinese newspapers and magazines. From Google Translate:

    "Jilin City Sports Chronicle" records: Beishan Stadium was first built in 1949. At that time, "the Jilin Municipal People's Government mobilized cadres and the masses across the city to work voluntarily and built a sports ground on the basis of a mud pond on the periphery of Beishan Park." After the stadium was completed, a podium and a lounge were built on the east side, and stone terraces were added on the north and south sides of the stadium. This standard stadium with a 400-meter track was originally named Jilin People's Stadium. Later, because it was located at the foot of Beishan, it was named Jilin Beishan Stadium. "On October 2, 1949, a city-wide mass meeting was held at Beishan Stadium to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China" ("Jilin City History and Major Events").

    ...

    When looking back at history, there are some disturbing descriptions in local historical materials about Beishan Stadium, which carries the common memory of many Jilin citizens. Historical materials including "Jilin City Sports Chronicle" and "Jilin City Architecture Chronicle" clearly record that Beishan Stadium was built in 1949. However, the 1948 entry in "Jilin City History and Major Events" records: "On November 4, 1948, a mass meeting to celebrate the liberation of Northeast China was held at today's Beishan Stadium." This record seems to imply that before the Beishan Stadium was built in 1949, this area was not all muddy ponds, but there was an open and flat field.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Jilin Beishan Stadium (Chinese: 吉林市北山体育场); formerly known as Jilin People's Stadium Chinese: 吉林市人民体育场), to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Hi @Cunard: Per above discussion, it seems that the stadium was demolished sometimes after the 1980s. Is this consistent with what you found in the sources? If so, we can revise the article with the toutiao.com source to clarify that the stadium no longer exists. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 14:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, I just realised that's the source you've discounted! Reminder not to reply so rashly when on trains... IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 18:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Toutiao source says from Google Translate:

However, before it had been prosperous for too long, Beishan Stadium encountered a development dilemma. Although there were some expansions of varying sizes in the 1980s, due to the city government's decision to build the Zhihemen Overpass and widen the road, the east side of the Beishan Stadium was occupied, and many important facilities, including the rostrum, were demolished. The stadium then lay abandoned for many years. After the Zhihemen Overpass was built, the Beishan Stadium was simply leveled, and the city's amateur sports school managed to maintain training...

This is about the same Jilin Beishan Stadium. I did a Google Books search for reliable sources about the demolition but couldn't find any. Sources about the demolition are likely offline sources. Cunard (talk) 06:35, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep consistent with previous comment that one of the most source-finding competent editors has now created a viable article (Cunard to the rescue again!), conditional on a page move to Jilin Beishan Stadium and a check of "What links here" to remove any links to the 25,000 seater extant stadium suggested in the original revision.
