Delete He's never been close to being ranked in the world top 10 for MMA, which is what WP:NMMA requires. Appearing in multiple databases and an article on one of his fights does not constitute significant independent coverage. I found nothing that shows he meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO or any SNG.

The result was delete‎. It might be an "important" street but those editors arguing to Keep this article didn't attempt to counter Pppery's source analysis illustrating how the existing sources didn't establish notability.

Keep At least one of the sources mentions the street in the title and appears to be significant coverage. It's unclear why the rest of the sources don't count for GNG. Garuda3 (talk) 00:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's trivial local coverage. One could probably find a construction announcement of that sort for pretty much any road in existence. The other sources: 1 is primary, 2 contains a picture of the road but no actual in-depth coverage. 3 is not in-depth coverage, 4 is the source you listed above, 5 is just a map - a street appearing on a map does not establish notability. 6 is a company boasting about its own work hence primary, 7 is about a park on the street rather than the street itself, 8 is both primary and seems to only mention the road in passing, 9 has the same problem as the source you listed above, 10 only mentions the road in passing. Compare with Washington Street (Boston) which has a sourced description of the history and significance of the road. That seems to be lacking here, and I can't see how this isn't just an ordinary city street. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 02:05, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or convert to disambiguation page. I can't find any good sources that discuss the whole street as a coherent concept, unlike comparable streets like Washington Street (Boston), Commonwealth Avenue, and Beacon Street that have plenty of detailed information available. I can't even find anything that indicates this is a defined corridor in any meaningful way, rather than several otherwise unrelated streets given the same name. All of the sources currently in the article are either trivial mentions or routine coverage; it does not add up to significant coverage. I can see a plausible case for a disambig page that points at Route 9, Route 16, and some of the other significant Washington Streets in Massachusetts (Route 129 in Lynn, and the major streets in Somerville and Dorchester if there are good targets for those. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 08:22, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "This is one of the most important transportation corridors in the City, serving many businesses and residents along its route," Fuller said in a Sept. 15 statement. From the above-linked article. Seasider53 (talk) 13:48, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: A village of a hundred people in the middle of nowhere has some street or another that is its "most important transportation corridor," leaving aside the plain fact that being a municipality's "most important transportation corridor" satisfies no notability criterion on Wikipedia. Would the keep proponents care to point out a couple sources they claim provides the "significant coverage" in detail to the subject that the GNG requires? Ravenswing 14:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why are we discounting a valid source and instead asking about a theoretical scenario? Seasider53 (talk) 16:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT?[edit]

Washington Street is a significant thoroughfare in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. It is one of the oldest streets in the city and serves as a major commercial and transportation artery. Washington Street runs south-north through the heart of downtown Boston, passing through several neighborhoods including Downtown Crossing, Chinatown, and the South End.

Historically, Washington Street has been a bustling commercial hub, lined with shops, restaurants, theaters, and other businesses. It has also been an important transportation corridor, with various forms of public transit operating along its route, including buses and the MBTA Orange Line subway.

Washington Street is known for its rich history, architectural landmarks, and vibrant street life. It remains a vital part of Boston's urban landscape, attracting locals and tourists alike with its diverse array of attractions and amenities. MaynardClark (talk) 22:59, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Walsall Hospital Radio[edit]

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

An exhaustively in-depth look at the inner workings of a hospital radio station which is sadly almost entirely unencyclopedic and should be kept online somewhere other than Wikipedia. I'm unable to find any meaningful coverage of this radio station to source the article - it looks like mostly WP:OR. Flip Format (talk) 21:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a hospital radio presenter created originally by a COI editor and filled with unencyclopedic trivia.

Per Erik Hedman[edit]

The subject of the article does not appear to meet WP:BASIC as I cannot find any sources which make more than a passing mention of Hedman.

Sources all appear to be WP:PRIMARY either interviews with the subject or clear press release republications. Promotional and fails WP:BIO. ThaddeusSholto (talk) 17:09, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not all sources are primary. Also there are some secondary sources which are not interviews. Making a global website useful to Sri Lankan is a huge thing, it may be not as important as in USA, UK or other developed countries. But, it is remarkable for Sri Lanka. He has made websites and two more global connections to uplift Sri Lankans in the other countries. So I think he is notable. More citations will come in the near future.

List of years in South African sport[edit]

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

I believe this is a Navigational list, but it is serving almost entirely red links.
The content it does serve hinders navigation. Take for example the unsourced 1962 in South African sport which is a Content fork of 1962_in_South_Africa#Sports, except the latter section has no content.
Rather than work bottom up and further degrade the usefulness of this list by proposing mergers of the subarticles, I wanted to see if there was consensus for deleting or merging the main article.
My policy argument for deleting or reworking this article is that per WP:NOPAGE we are not serving readers best by organizing content this way. If a particular year of sport in South Africa can get enough significant coverage, it can then be built out and perhaps expanded into a true content fork. But by spreading ourselves out across these pages that aren't yet ready to be separate, we're making things more clunky. ForksForks (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as Clarityfiend says AfD is not from cleanup. That the nominator doesn't find is useful is poor evidence that it actually hinders navigation as they claim.

The result was no consensus‎. I'm closing this discussion as No consensus because it is not a Delete discussion, it is primarily a Merge discussion, diverging on which article should be Merged to which one. This discussion can occur on the article talk pages but there is no consensus here for a particular Merge/Keep closure. Arguments have not been based in policy but seem to rest on which article is referenced more properly and tangents about article renames. These are all editorial decisions and I see no consensus here that this article should be Deleted. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:03, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zoonotic origins of COVID-19[edit]

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

Merge per nom. There are no legitimate reasons I can think of to have two articles on the same subject. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:06, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On a first brief look, I am not convinced that this article in its current state is a WP:POVFORK of Origin of COVID-19. The first sentence, for example, is SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, was first introduced to humans through zoonosis. Also, it seems to spend quite a lot of space refuting some features of SARS-CoV-2 that have been proposed as 'evidence' by conspiracy theories ('furin cleavage sites' etc.) which its parent article does not do (and perhaps should). Perhaps someone can point out where this article diverges from the mainstream consensus, or contradicts or undermines the parent article (preferably without mentioning blocks or sanctions against the original author). In fact, the structure of this article looks a lot like the 'Zoonosis' section of the Origin of COVID-19 article should look. Perhaps we should move Origin of COVID-19 to Chronological history of investigations and reactions to investigations into the origin of COVID-19, then move Zoonotic origins of COVID-19 to Origin of COVID-19, and add the unlikely theories like lab leak and the other kooky stuff to the bottom?

Merge - Tewdar has a point that this article includes a few details that the parent article does not. However, that does not justify the existence of this fork article, and certainly does not justify turning this into the primary parent article. A merge retains the information we need, and then any formatting & layout concerns can be brought to the remaining article. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 13:20, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think there is more than enough here to warrant its own article. I don't see this a fork at all, but a fuller discourse on the subject.Graham Beards (talk) 13:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If anything, some material from the Origin of COVID-19 article should be moved here. The Origin of COVID-19 works well as an overview ("Main") article, and specific sub-subjects should have their own article. Abiogenesis similarly is a carryall "Main" article with a number of separate articles on various theories for the Origin of Life. This article would become massive and unwieldy if merged. Jaredroach (talk) 14:46, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - having now reviewed the article, I can find no evidence that this is a (POV) fork, and I can't really see how it could be, since its 'parent' would probably be better titled 'Chronology of Investigations into the Origin of COVID-19'. Per Graham Beards, this article appears to be a fuller discourse on the subject which probably couldn't reasonably have all its relevant content merged with its supposed parent. Incidentally, there is no good reason not to have a more detailed child article just because an overwhelming majority of scientists believe something: some article groups don't even seem to have a parent article, even though there is one theory that near-completely dominates competing theories, e.g. Recent African origin of modern humans vs Multiregional origin of modern humans (but no Origin of modern humans parent article, which is a redirect to Early modern human#Age and speciation process). Tewdar 15:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is a Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pandemic currently. Perhaps we should prune any chronological details from parent and move before a merge. 2600:8804:6600:4:E857:BFEB:7B9A:9779 (talk) 18:57, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is a chronology of the pandemic, not a chronology of investigations into the origin of the virus. Tewdar 22:13, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, should we use it as a template for Timeline of the COVID-19 origin investigation? 2600:8804:6600:4:4C95:F6C6:D097:4C8B (talk) 16:33, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. Whether it is a POVFORK, a non-POV fork or just a spin-off article, it does not seem necessary to have two articles. A reasonable estimate of the size of a merged article would be a little over 6,000 words. That's not big enough to require a WP:SIZESPLIT. One could argue that, while we would not split it if it was already merged, it is unnecessary effort to merge it given that it is already split. That's arguable but I feel that having one less COVID article to protect from the interventions from cranks would probably justify that effort in the long term. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:09, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How have you arrived at this estimate of 6000 words? I make it ~7307 words. 5247 (prose size of Origins of COVID-19 article ) - 374 (current Zoonosis section in Origins... article, assuming 100% duplication in the other article) + 2434 (size of Zoonotic origins of COVID-19 article) = 7307 words, for which WP:SIZESPLIT does not tell me 'What to do'. The article has had 6 edits, and 428 views, in the last 30 days, so protecting it from interventions from cranks does not appear to be a pressing concern at the moment. And, if having two articles is a problem, we should probably delete Origins of COVID-19, not this one. It only has four paragraphs in the Zoonosis section, and is mainly a chronology of investigations into COVID origins. Perhaps it should be moved to a more suitable title.

Comment. There are currently two theories regarding the origins of covid: a lab leak and zoonosis. Even though zoonosis is the mainstream theory, for some reason its page is only the third of the size of the lab leak theory page. For balance I think it would be a good idea to keep the zoonosis page instead of merging it. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 05:06, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, these theories are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they cannot be. Whether or not anything happened in a lab that contributed to the pandemic, whatever happened before the lab was zoonotic. Not that this nuance is terribly relevant to the keep/delete discussion, but it may not be widely appreciated. Jaredroach (talk) 15:18, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Might I suggest that the end result for this reconciliation process should be a well-organized bibliography section that uses sfn, like the Zoonotic origins... article, rather than just shoving the references in any old how at the end of a sentence with <ref name= scattered all over the place, like the Origins... article.

TRIPLE Keep … The COVID topic, including its origins, has unfortunately fallen victim to over-politicization. My 'triple' remark is intended as a light-hearted joke, albeit one that may not translate well through text. However, setting jest aside, nobody here has disputed the fact that this article outshines the main COVID origins article in terms of its organization, composition, and fidelity to the source material. While I certainly don't claim expertise in this field, I find it noteworthy that editors with proven knowledge, including Jared Roach and Graham Beards, have overwhelmingly supported its retention.

Just in case Perhaps we should move Origin of COVID-19 to Chronological history of investigations and reactions to investigations into the origin of COVID-19, then move Zoonotic origins of COVID-19 to Origin of COVID-19 was not clear enough: the Origins of COVID-19 article is not an article about the Origins of COVID-19. It is a chronological history of investigations and reactions to investigations into the origin of COVID-19, with four pathetic paragraphs about the mainstream Zoonotic origins theory, two lousy paragraphs about 'Unlikely scenarios', and a whopping 50+ paragraphs about investigations and reactions to investigations into the origin of COVID-19. In short, in my opinion, this article outshines the main COVID origins article and should probably be the basis for that article. Also, the referencing system used in the other article suuuuuucks.

Keep and merge other content into this article as needed. This article is higher quality than the other COVID origins articles, particularly in NPOV. Better to raise the other articles to this standard than to lower it to theirs. - Palpable (talk) 06:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You've not given an argument for why this article is more NPOV. PS, reference formatting isn't it. TarnishedPath^talk 13:12, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For a start, the 'Investigations' section of the Origin of COVID-19 article is massively undue for an article purportedly (according to its title, at least) about the evolutionary pathway of the virus and the manner of its transmission to humans. This section, which is comparatively massive, is heavily dependent on relatively low-quality news sources. The level of detail about controversies surrounding the various investigations is ridiculously undue in such an article. The chronological summary style also results in undue weight for the lab leak theory ("an investigation found lab leak unlikely ", "another investigation found it unlikely" "a third investigation found it unlikely", "ooh, this investigation found it plausible", "oh look, this one doesn't rule it out either"...) This is not how to write an NPOV encyclopedia article on the Origin of COVID-19. Also, I'd like to take this opportunity to once again give my opinion on the terrible reference formatting, which is just thrown together, much like the rest of the article.

Incidentally, nobody has given any argument for why this article is a WP:POVFORK, despite this being the original reason given for why this article should be deleted/merged and despite me asking if Perhaps someone can point out where this article diverges from the mainstream consensus, or contradicts or undermines the parent article and even putting this request in bold font. Zero Zip Zilch Nada. Tewdar 15:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Even if you don't recognize the house style, the discussion history makes it clear that the Origin of COVID-19 article is proudly and unashamedly polemic. - Palpable (talk) 15:13, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - These articles are apples and pears. This article describes what it says it does, looking carefully at the hypotheses and explaining as it goes, whereas Origin of COVID-19 tells us more about the investigations than the actual origins of the virus. So, if we had to only keep one, I would say it should be this one, and we should merge the other article into here, largely as a kind of addendum about the investigations and politics. Or we could keep both, and perhaps signpost between them. This is clearly not a POVFORK. There is no POV here. It could be classed as a content fork, but forks are acceptable as long as they are not a WP:BADFORK. If not a POV fork (and again, it isn't) then the other BADFORK is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. But it isn't redundant. There is plenty on this page that is not on that one. So not a bad fork, and no case for deletion. What about merge? Well that is an available outcome at AfD, but in this case the AfD was started during an unclosed merge discussion, and the merge discussion may have foundered because there is a prima facie case it was backwards. That Origin of COVID-19 should be merged here. Nevertheless the discussion is ongoing and this AfD is thus out of process for that merge discussion. Better that this is closed as keep and then the merge discussion can then proceed. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:46, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The four pathetic paragraphs about zoonotic origins and the two lousy paragraphs about 'Unlikely scenarios' in the other article can quite easily be merged into this one. Then Origin of COVID-19 can be moved to a more appropriate title, like Chronological history of investigations, controversies surrounding investigations, politicisation of investigations, email correspondence regarding investigations, and architecture of buildings used to carry out investigations into the origin of COVID-19 or something like that.

I am proposing this article for deletion. This mall/development was never built and w and apparently the developer cancelled it. I don't think this would warrant inclusion in Wikipedia if it was never built in the first place. If you visit the proposed site around Steeles and Kennedy in Markham today, all you'll find is an empty patch of land. It is next to Pacific Mall.

Drumheller, Washington[edit]

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

Declined PROD. This location is non-notable and I can find no evidence it was ever a "town"; the existence of a post office for three years and the appearance of a dot with the name "Drumheller" on a 1963 plat map do not establish notability. Reference 3 (Meany) does use the word "town", but other recent AfD's have shown that source played fast and loose with its research. GNIS is not notability, and a rural schoolhouse with a co-located rural post office is not a "town". Satellite view of coordinates shows a single farm. WP:GEOLAND is clearly failed.

Delete Here are some possible sources that Meany may have gotten his information from. So, I don't think it's his fault, beyond his obvious plagiarism. https://www.newspapers.com/article/spokane-chronicle-placenames1918apr26/129354957/ https://www.google.com/books/edition/Washington_Historical_Quarterly/pNC42qbpD20C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22sam+drumheller%22+washington&pg=PA117&printsec=frontcover . I couldn't find anything, until I looked at Sam Drumheller himself. He did in fact found a town named after himself in Alberta, Canada. He was famous at the time because of his Coal Magnate status. Drumheller was the name of a grange district in Franklin county, that was also probably named for him, since he had spent time farming in the area. I believe one of the earlier sources may have become confused, perhaps because of the post office named for the grange district. Regardless there is only one source that says Drumheller was town and two sources that just plagiarized that that source. I think that 1918 source was wrong, and this place didn't exist. Just to cover my bases, the existence of post offices is not proof because they were not always located in towns.James.folsom (talk) 21:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I overlooked the fact that the 1918 washington historical quarterly states as a source for this as "Peter Klundt, Names MSS, letter 27" and also that Meany was involved with this too. I can't figure out what this orginal source was exactly, but Peter Klundt was a postmaster in Franklin county Washington and from what I have seen, Names MSS seems to be some kind of collection of letters from postmasters. Regardless I think some wires got crossed somewhere, because if the place existed there would be more evidence than these inbred sources.James.folsom (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sweble[edit]

Nominating on behalf of 86.23.109.101 (talk). Their rationale is as follows:

I am really struggling to see how this wikitext parser is notable. The page has been tagged as being of questionable notability and using primary sources since 2011, so I think it's about time it went to AFD.
There doesn't seem to be a single source in the article that demonstrates third party coverage of this software. Citations 1, 2 and 3 are links to the software's own website. Citation 4 is an announcement that the authors of the software will be presenting it at a conference. Citations 5, 7, 10 and 11 are papers written by the authors of Sweble. Citation 6 is a dead link to what seems to have been an open source community page? Citations 8 and 9 are pages on the mediawiki wiki, unusable as sources.

Per precedent at both Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hermosa–Duhat–Balintawak Transmission Line and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mexico–Hermosa Transmission Line: the article of an obviously unnotable transmission line lacks at least 3 or more reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself.

@Garuda3 I don't think it's enough. It still makes the notability point weak. The transmission line is just one ordinary transmission line that is like all transmission lines here in the Philippines. Much of the article is also original research, with the editors' claims of steel pole details relatively based on what they heard or seen in person.

Delete. The article of an obviously unnotable transmission line lacks at least 3 or more reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself. It only has one such qualified source (this), which is not enough unfortunately. It mostly contains primary sources (information that came from National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) and National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) which are companies that were involved on a power line and its associated projects during their operations and maintenance (O&M) period on the line, whether on documents for the construction of a power line and its projects or physically (Danger: High Voltage signs placed on steel poles or lattice towers)).

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks -- ‍ Shonyx

Delete. I see only one, brief, source that supports notability. WP:GNG says "reliable sources", plural, which generally excludes topics with only one good source, even a very good source much more in depth than [2]. While three sources are usually preferred, I, and I think many other wikipedians, would be okay with two provided they are fully independent and provide sufficient depth of coverage to base an article on them. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:39, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Confirming delete by the contributor: Otherwise, the article has only single source that only supports notability. At such older WP:AFD requests, like this one, has no clearer consensus. To all Philippine contributors that contributes local transmission line articles, add more or reduce the number of references from respective, couraged, affiliated and notable owners. Since NGCP has no notability supporting documents due to privacy and confidential issues, use the alternative, notable sources from affiliated companies who constructed this line. I am not agree that this page will delete. WP:GNG said that "reliable sources, plural" means that the affiliated sources are only used in this page. Basic references is nothing in this article. ‍ Shonyx 10:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] There are other scholarly sources that seemed to discuss Heather that I don't seem to be able to access, but these six sources cover Heather in a significant fashion. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 16:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: [9] This source goes over the character's recent resurgance on Tik Tock, and I believe Variety is a high profile source to count as a SIGCOV per Wikipedia's rules.

Sorry, but both the sources you cited were unreliable but I think the article will survive because of the discovered sources above. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 13:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is not true, Vulture is a reliable source, and Collider is not listed as unreliable on either here or WP:RSP. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:55, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote down Variety, but I meant Vulture, and Cukie Gherkin is right. Vulture has been used multiple times as a reliable source for film and television, and is listed as reliable source on the Reliable sources/Perennial sources Wikipedia page. Vulture is listed reliable as as a subsidiary of the New York magazine. The Vulture piece is a real commentary about the subject within a modern context, showcasing the character is still relevant. Transformers03 (talk) 19:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've looked through the presented sources and am still unconvinced. It's essentially a few paragraphs of real commentary mixed with a lot of fluff - there is no slam-dunk evidence that the character list would be too small to hold all the commentary about her, which is what the argument must be here. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:44, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what your point is here. A few paragraphs of significant commentary isn't discounted by the presence of fluff around it. It just seems like you admitted that there's significant coverage of Heather to me! As WP:GNG notes, the article itself doesn't have to be about the subject for it to constitute as sigcov. Also, "this character could fit into a list" isn't an argument either, as the question of if a character could have an article is weighed more on the character's individual notability than the character's ability to work in a list. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:55, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- To make a comparison, it was argued on the World of Ruin talk page that the subject, even if notable, could work better as part of the FF6 article. In that case, there is an argument to be made that the subject actively works better as part of the FF6 article, not just that it could be covered. Unless you've changed your mind on that article, I would contend "it could work in its main article" applies more there than it does here. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 17:36, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Pointing to an editor's other, totally unrelated article to impugn them is an argument to the person. You are essentially accusing me of bad faith when there is no evidence that is the case. AfD is a harsh enough environment without other editors insinuating you lack the credentials to ever participate there. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - I made the point that I find it difficult to understand the standard you are applying based on previous discussions, which I think is a perfectly valid thing to bring up. My argument is that I cannot understand the rationale behind your argument or why you're making it. As you yourself noted, Heather has real commentary, so I legitimately have no idea what your objection is. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 13:12, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I usually consider the nature of the commentary, whether it is done as an aside to a larger topic or as part of something largely focused on the topic in question. If there were a couple other articles like the Vulture one I would probably think it was weakly meriting an article, but I am seeing larger discussions about the plot of Silent Hill 3 in which Heather is brought up in passing alongside various other characters who are given equal billing (thus making it better for a character article reception discussion), and listicles. Unless some really good alternative sources come up I won't be swayed on this, but that's my opinion and people are free to dissent. I'm not gonna argue if everyone else thinks otherwise. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:46, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hubert Klyne Headley[edit]

I couldn't establish that he meets WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. No suitable WP:ATD. Boleyn (talk) 08:33, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and West Virginia. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:25, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I was able to find news coverage pretty easily. It's mostly local coverage, but it demonstrates that Headley's music was performed by notable orchestras and notable conductors. And some of it has been issued on a major label since his death. His California Suite seems to have been widely performed in the 1940's. So I think he meets the first criterion for notability by composers, and that's all that's needed for the article to survive AfD. I'll try to add some of the news coverage I found to document the various facts of his life and career. P Aculeius (talk) 17:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The Afd proposal quotes the WP:MUSICBIO, which redirects to Criteria for musicians and ensembles, but as the subject of this article is a composer, it seems to me that we should refer to WP:COMPOSER for the criteria.
- In this context, this composer fulfills at least one criterion, for instance : Has credit for writing (...) music for a notable composition. as he wrote several compositions that are of high personal and skilled levels and that are published or listed as interesting on their subjet (this is how I interpret notable), and apparently one of the most notable one is the California Suite published by Naxos on the performance of Dmitry Yablonsky and that has several reviews on specialized websites for classical music, like Classics Today or Music Web International; this suite is listed in this this article from a specialized site on music of Hong-Kong (!) as containing a notable mouvement about the Golden gate, which "provides an impressionist depiction of the sights and sounds of San Francisco". In this page of the Canadian Music Centre, we can see that such a public institution celebrated recently (2017) this composer, by playing other pieces (chamber music in this case).
- Moreover, a second criterion may be mentioned, Has been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter, or lyricist that meets the above criteria., as it is mentioned on the netherlands version of wikipedia article for this composer that he was the teacher of Robert (Bob) Buckley, who apparently specialized on music for large scaled events like Olympic games, and arrangements for pop music artists like Brian Adams, and this student composer matches several criteria (despite he does not have a wiki page).
- The problem with this composer is that he was forgotten for some time (a few decades) and he just started to be rediscovered (the CMC Canada explains here how he was rediscovered in Canada), but this problem is very frequent for classical music composers and also happened to very important composers like Bach (completely forgotten after his death, until Mendelssohn played his music again almost one century later), or for a similar period of time than for Headley, to Mieczysław Weinberg.
- In conclusion, this article clearly needs improvements, but certainly not deletion. Galanga (talk) 21:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I spent most of the day gathering news articles about Headley, and incorporating their contents into the article. However, I was taking notes, and may have left out useful details. Some sources I had hoped would provide more information about concert performances either didn't, or weren't available (I wasn't able to determine which). I found a program, but wasn't sure how to cite it. There were also non-musical radio (and television?) appearances that I didn't cite, as I wasn't sure they were important enough to mention. I also know that Headley had a son, but not sure whether he had other children. I'm sure that the list of compositions could be more thorough and perhaps improved; I hesitated about where to place some things, and how best to cite them. Would be glad of any help in that regard. However, I think the article is now clearly sufficient to demonstrate notability and verifiability, and should easily survive AfD. P Aculeius (talk) 02:54, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Although I think this article is very weak overall, I agree with Svartner about the relative availability of sources required for SIGCOV. If we only interpret SIGCOV as strictly as possible, only articles about modern footballers from countries with developed leagues and media infrastructures will exist—which goes against the very principle of Wikipedia. Anwegmann (talk) 03:51, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just not true, Anwegmann. Wikipedia contains myriads of articles about athletes and other notables, including footballers, from the "pre-modern" era. I'm sure you will find them easily and quickly if you look for them. But, once again, Wikipedia is not the directory of allfootballers. If you want completeness, check the special websites; this is what I do. This may be hard to accept but it is a foundational principle. -The Gnome (talk) 12:49, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not talking about the "pre-modern" era. I'm talking about countries, leagues, and teams with very, very little coverage in what we identify as "reliable" sources due to their global obscurity. I'm referencing WP:BIAS, not WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Anwegmann (talk) 13:16, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So, what do you suggest we do in case there is, for whatever reason, very little coverage in reliable sources? Bend the rules? Ignore them? Because this is what your suggestion implies. (By the way, those quotation marks around "reliable" suggest you do not think much of Wikipedia considering WP:RS too important. That would be unfortunate.) Allow me to emphasize that the objective of Wikipedia is not completeness. By the mere fact that WP places emphasis on verifiability through reliable sources it is quite certain that it will never adequately cover (as adequately as a football encyclopaedia, for example) those countries and leagues. -The Gnome (talk) 17:42, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because our subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:FOOTYN. The entirety of the Keep suggestions amounts, when all is said and done, to "surely there are sources out there". But that's just not of value. Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. Nor a directory of a country's footballers. -The Gnome (talk) 18:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the article was a one-sentence stub, I could perhaps see this as a failure of NOTDIRECTORY; however, this article has been expanded to something pretty decent and there appear to be several sources specifically about him added? (especially the one: "De vuurdoop van G. Demulder in Belgie-Zwitserland" [G. Demulder's baptism by fire in Belgium-Switzerland]) BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The size of the text is truly irrelevant in the matter. The article could've been 20 thousand words long and of fine prose and still be a legitimate candidate for deletion. This is not about the text's quantity or quality.It's about whether or not there are enough sources supporting its subject's notability. End of story. And there are not! The single relevant reference, beyond listings and the like, is the one you also mention, in a 1939 newspaper clipping. Where are the books? The articles on Belgium's football history? Where is the "significant coverage"? I'm sorry but this is truly inadequate. -The Gnome (talk) 18:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My reference to its length is regarding whether or not it fails NOTDIRECTORY (something the expansion makes irrelevant here). Regarding notability, it is simply ridiculous to suggest that we need all the different articles and books on a nation's sporting history to mention this individual athlete for that athlete to be notable. It is of note that we have very little access to media of Belgium from that age (can you access any of the books on Belgium's football history?), so even if there were many articles mentioning him in regards to Belgium's football history we'd only have access to a few. Of the sources we do have access to, what's wrong with the newspaper source? That appears to pass "significant coverage"'s definition of "directly and in-depth", does it not?

I have run out of ways to phrase this, Govvy, so I will simply repeat myself: Wikipedia is all about sources! This is not just some opinion expressed in an essay, either. (Check both Wikipedia:Truth, not verifiability and Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth.) Lack of sources and weakness of sources is what gets texts deleted from Wikipedia.

First of all, Govvy, simmer down. Check your temper before posting. Understood? Secondly, I do not care about editors' backgrounds or records. I treat everyone equally, with the same respect. Your years in Wikipedia mean very little in AfD discussions.

Thirdly, I was very clear about my opinion: There are not enough sources. So, what kind of research exactly do you want me to do? If I say "there are not enough sources" that's a negative opinion. You seriously want me to prove a negative?! How does that work exactly? I'm supposed to bring forward all the sources in the world and point out that no source carries a good enough mention of Demulder? If I say "XYZ cannot be found," that's a claim that cannot be logically supported but can be trivially refuted! I.e. by producing XYZ - or a bunch of XYZs.

"surely he is notable" would not be an acceptable argument, HOWEVER IJA DID NOT say that. IJA said that the international cap(s) contribute to Demulder's importance as a footballer.

The Gnome, so someone missed a word. It happens to me all the time! JoelleJay, reading Belgian Dutch (aka Flemish) fluently, I can attest that the article is nontrivial SIGCOV of the most independent nature. The famous Belgian sports journalist Pol Jaquemyns, who has an article on Nlwiki, ANALYZES the playing style of Demulder and how it would contribute (or not), to the Belgian national team. Furthermore, by the 1930s football was very well covered in Belgium, in the local, regional, and national press, as well as in special sports dailies and magazines. The problem is access to these sources. gidonb (talk) 22:41, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mister Maker Around the World[edit]

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

A minor spin off not nearly notable enough for its own article, page has zero citations and the contents of the article is just a short 3 sentence lead (one of which is entirely related to the other two spin-offs) and a redundant episodes list.

I am also nominating the previous spin-off, Mister Maker Comes to Town. The article has much more content, and 2 citations. The first citation is just an official Mister Maker flash game irrelevant to the lead where it is cited (and doesnt seem to be about this specific spin-off at all), and the other citation is likely much more relevant but hidden behind a paywall.

There doesn't seem to be any good sources for either article, I don't beleive either article is notable.

Most of the content from both these articles, especially Mister Maker Around the World, can be added to Mister_Maker#Spin-Offs, and don't require their own articles. Theooolone ─ ( Talk - Contribs ) 05:13, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced messy stub, first part suggests it is a disambig, then it talks about another concept "student rank". Perhaps this can be converted into a proper disambig or redirected? Student rank is likely the same as Class rank; high school rank seems to be American-only ranking equivalent to College and university rankings but for high schools, which we do not have an article for.

KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 23:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, we're going to have to disagree on both points here. First, I don't think "officialness" / manufacturer-association of the event, versus those titled "World Scrabble Championship", should make any difference when assessing notability, otherwise we're just introducing editorial bias on what we subjectively find more important. Second, sure, I'll concede that the Forward piece is primarily about Eldar, not the event, but the first two sources discuss structure, standings, context, and specific plays of the event. That sounds like coverage of the event to me. ~ A412 ^talk! 23:55, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not misunderstand what I meant in the latter half of my statement. I did not mean to imply that being the "official" Worlds automatically makes it notable, but that the previous events that had, in my opinion, much more substantial coverage were incidentally "official" events (but it is easy to see why the BBC and NYT eould be more inclined to run stories about an actual WSC as oppposed to a "WESPAC".) To your second point, I insist that those sources are by no means adequate as far as this event is concerned — you can find similar pieces with such details about other random tournaments, so by your metric we ought to have articles about them too. But, really, SIGCOV is a higher standard than just that. If we had a few more articles like the Slate piece, then fine, but we don't. Cheers, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 10:47, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just tell me honestly if you feel the benchmark set out in WP:EVENTS is met: "An event is presumed to be notable if it has lasting major consequences or affects a major geographical scope, or receives significant non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope." I think the answer should be fairly obvious... Nuff said, KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 10:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I honestly do. There are sources across multiple continents (global scope); before, during, and after the tournament (lasting coverage). While yes, it may not be as notable as the "official" tournament, I think it cleanly passes WP:NEVENT. I don't think we disagree on policy here, we disagree on whether it's met, so I'm going to disengage here and let others comment. ~ A412 ^talk! 19:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, guess we have to agree to disagree. I consider myself an "inclusionist" but I just don't see it here, sadly KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 22:07, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - Considering the WP:EVENTS benchmark that Kingoflettuce cited above, I would be inclined to merge this, and all of the other individual event pages, into two articles: the existing one for World Scrabble Championship and one covering all WESPAC events. I'd also like to apologize to Kingoflettuce for conflating the two.

Ambassador who doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG.

Leaning keep. I can't find enough for WP:GNG. However, I consider this a pass of WP:ANYBIO#2 because he's going to come up in writings about relations of India with Oman, Denmark, Zambia. And he passes ANYBIO#1 as a recepient of one of Oman's highest civilian honours. Someone's going to write who all have received that award and there, write something about who he is and what he did to get that award. Usedtobecool ☎️ 06:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Novem Linguae. Ashok received Wisam al-Na'Oman, or The Order of N'Oman per TOI. This is the highest Omani honor for diplomats, which was started by Sulatn Al Qaboos in 1982. You may wish to see Honor's description in this book by Guy Stair Sainty and Rafal Heydel-Mankoo from 2006.

Maliner (talk) 07:31, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Attri has served as India's ambassador to Denmark and Oman and a high-ranking member of its missions in Zambia and the US, and took up his last post c. 2010. So it's likely that much of the available sources are a) in Arabic, Danish, Hindi and other Indian languages, and b) in print newspapers. A simple Google search isn't going to find any of that up, and as such I don't think this nomination presents adequate grounds for deletion. Searching just in Danish turns up dozens of sources, especially with regard to the Niels Holck extradition, a diplomatic dispute between Denmark and India in 2011 in which, as the Indian ambassador to Denmark, Attri was obviously a key figure.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] This case was also covered in the English press[26] and doubtless even more so in Hindi and Bengali, but I don't have the language skills to search for those. – Joe (talk) 20:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I don't find any significant coverage in Denmark. How are the above hits about Ashok Attri? I know from Denmark's neighboring country (Norway) that the only foreign ambassadors who attract media attention about their person are those of the US and Israel. Having a key role in an "affair" is an argument for merging with said affair. Receiving orders is common for diplomats. Geschichte (talk) 09:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say there was significant coverage (there might be, I wasn't really checking). My point was that offline sources and sources in languages other than English are very likely to exist and that, unless those are checked, we can't properly assess the level of coverage. I take the fact that five minutes of searching, in a language that I only have limited proficient in, produced eight additional sources as a strong indication that significant coverage is probably out there.

A merge would only be appropriate if Attri had a key role in one event. Given the he was an ambassador or high-level diplomat to multiple countries over at least two decades, I find that implausible, but you never know. – Joe (talk) 11:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This whole premise gravitates to "there must be sources out there" and "He's bound to be notable in other languages", both of which do not amount to much. -The Gnome (talk) 18:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The fact that a banned account has created the text is the least of its problems. There's a breath-taking dearth of source-supported notability. All the sources proffered above are about the case of activist Niels Holck where our subject is perforce name-dropped in passing, e.g. here, here, here, here, and so on. We are left with listings such as this irrelevancy, typical announcements by the Ministry of External Affairs, such as this, or, worse, a commercial event which our subject attended. Truly nothing to prop up even a modicum of specific, individual notability. Ambassadors and diplomats are not, as such, notable in Wikipedia. -The Gnome (talk) 18:20, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
