Ride (Godspeed album) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Aside from a brief AllMusic review of Ride and an even briefer AllMusic bio, I couldn't find evidence of notability. Maybe there are more sources out there that are just buried and difficult to find given the band's name being a tad generic, but I couldn't find anything paired with the band members' names either. The band was short-lived in their initial run and while they were apparently signed with Atlantic Records, they were in a genre which wasn't at its most popular at the time it released, so coverage may have only come from niche areas that aren't necessarily the most reliable.

Gonna have to agree with Doomsdayer regarding opposition to the merger. It would be undue to give a whole section of another band's article to this one. Even what is in that section probably shouldn't be there, or at least not in the way it's currently written. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 00:17, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Beck Bottom[edit]

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

No indication of notability. Unsourced since creation in 2007. I've corrected the coordinates (which previously led to an unlabelled marshy area), so it now points to a small cluster of buildings identified as "Beck Bottom" on Ordnance Survey 1:50k mapping, but there is nothing to indicate that this is more than a single farm. The article called it a "village" until a few minutes ago when I amended it to "hamlet", having found it as one of the Cumbria articles in the WP:FEB24 unreferenced articles backlog drive.

Beck Bottom appears in our List of United Kingdom locations: Bea-Bem and GENUKI lists it as a gazetteer entry, but neither the Ordnance Survey's "Get Outside" nor Vision of Britain mention it. PamD 12:49, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - this is hard to find but it looks like it is a signposted place, see the instructions to access this wildlife reserve This road follows the eastern boundary of the reserve. After the turn off for Beck Bottom, park on the verge on the right hand side of the road. I think it might be tough to say much about it that could be referenced so I'm currently thinking it would likely be better merged to Lowick, Cumbria unless someone can source a good reference to show otherwise. JMWt (talk) 13:22, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • There might well be a signpost to an individual farm, so I don't think this helps. @JMWt PamD 23:21, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • It is an OS settlement[2] but might be better merged with Lowick. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:38, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not sure that inclusion in that list qualifies as a "legally recognised place", and we don't see signs of "non-trivial coverage by their name in multiple, independent reliable sources", to quote the first two bullets of WP:NPLACE. PamD 23:37, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low. Recognition by OS is legal recognition in England. And if it is a farm, then it is a populated place.

        But then nobody is disagreeing with you that there is little to say on a standalone page. JMWt (talk) 07:31, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

        • So your interpretation is that every named farm on an OS map is "typically presumed to be notable"? I suppose it depends on how "place" is interpreted.

          In this case I think we will struggle to find a reliable source even for its inclusion in the Lowick, Cumbria article. The 2022 parish plan report mentions it twice as a location of flood concern, using two different spellings: Beck Bottom and Beckbottom. The 2005 plan mentions "Beck bottom" as the location of a bridleway problem. Neither shows whether it is anything more than one farm. PamD 08:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

          • The coordinates (though their a bit off) verify its location and the OS source I provided verifies it being a settlement so I don't think additional textual sources are needed to mention in the Lowick article. We would need textual sources for things like someone living there or its name origin etc but I think this is not really needed unless we're questioning its status as a settlement (which we do appear to though as noted the OS source does say so) or its location which I don't think anyone is questioning at least the location the OS shows which as noted is slightly off our coords. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep in some form - it's clearly a place, both in OS, and with a very small number people noted as living there in 1851, with some mentions in books on the Lake District over the years. SportingFlyer T·C 15:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The 1851 Mannex & Company directory of the area has this as two farms in the township of Lowick, run respectively by Williams Robinson and Rowlandson; and by the looks of things farms are exactly what it still is today. Although one is now named Riddings Farm. Uncle G (talk) 15:46, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No sign off the road. It seems to consist of a farm and three houses. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:47, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The farm's address is Lowick Green. There's a holiday cottage. If it was recognised as a hamlet, even with nothing to write about, I'd have gone for a redirect to the parish Lowick, Cumbria. There's no evidence it is or was a hamlet, so unless something else to contradict this turns up, I'm leaning delete. Rupples (talk) 23:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It was just a couple farms, not an actual, notable community. Can be mentioned in Lowick if necessary. Reywas92Talk 00:14, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Notability of tiny places in Great Britain is a relatively easy thing. There are things like the Victoria County Histories, 19th and 20th century local histories, histories of land charters and whatnot, and all sorts of other stuff. One never has to resort to dot-on-map-means-X arguments, such as the one about Ordnance Survey maps here in this discussion. Either a place turns out to have documentation going back to the 1960s/the Industrial Revolution/the Norman Conquest/the Roman Empire, or (like this article at hand) there just is not any documentation at all. This shows up the problem with turning the GEOLAND "presumed notable" guideline into a criterion of actual notability, and why "populated place" and "legally recognized" are bad criteria for actual notability. For actual notability, given our project:Wikipedia is not a directory policy, we need a lot more than the trade directory that I pointed to earlier, which merely settled the What-even-is-this-dot-on-the-map? question.

      TechLekh is a Nepali digital tech media company that has editorial oversight. The review notes: "Redmi A2 Plus has a dual camera on the rear with an 8MP main sensor and a 0.8MP QVGA sensor. On the front, it has a 5MP selfie camera. The main sensor is impressive for the price. Photos captured in daylight turn out nice with neutral colors and balanced exposure. The photos won’t have good detail and dynamic range but that is what we expect from a budget phone."

      The article notes: "The Redmi A2 features a 6.52-inch, 720 x 1600 resolution display with a 120Hz touch sampling rate and 400nits peak brightness. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio G36 which has a maximum speed of 2.2GHz. It comes with upto 4GB RAM and upto 64GB internal storage. It features an 8MP dual camera and 5MP front camera. It also has a dual LED flash for extra bright photos in low light conditions. It is backed by a 5000mAh battery with a 10W charger. The third entry in our list of Redmi phones under 12000 also runs on the Android 13 version. The sub-Rs. 10000 smartphone also has good connectivity features. It comes with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, as well as GPS, and GLONASS. The entry level phone also has an inbuilt radio, which has gone missing in many smartphones in today's time. Goes without saying, it also comes with a 3.5mm jack for wired earphones, meaning you can buy a cheap pair of earphones and enjoy listening to long hours of music without worrying about your earphone charging. The smartphone comes in three color variants. These are Aqua Blue, Classic Black, and Sea Green."

      The article notes: "The Redmi A2 boasts impressive features, including a powerful MediaTek Helio G36 processor with a clock speed of up to 2.2GHz. What sets it apart is the option for up to 7GB of RAM, including 3GB of virtual RAM, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.

  • Keep and move to North Korea and state-sponsored terrorism. The AfD discussion hasn't alleviated my concerns about WP:NPOV, but it seems like deletion would only exacerbate Wikipedia's surprising lack of coverage on the subject, and this move to a more appropriate page title and article format can at least encourage editors to continue improving said coverage. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 21:09, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. At best this should be a rename discussion, not a deletion. And if your impression is that we can basically never call anything on Wikipedia "terrorism" because it's hard to define, you're not quite correct. Read MOS:TERRORIST. We follow what most reliable sources say. toobigtokale (talk) 11:16, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment User:IgnatiusofLondon's concerns about the list format are valid. Reviewing previous AFDs for lists of terrorist incidents, the consensus is nearly always to keep, apart from the few lists based on ideological category (right-wing/left-wing, etc), which tend to get deleted. NK is something of a corner case though; there's no state quite like it in modern history. WP:LISTCRIT would need to be chosen with care: if NK abruptly test-launches a new weapon in the Sea of Japan, people are terrorized. Was it terrorism, or was it a weapons test? Reliable sources may diverge on the answer, and MOS:TERRORIST doesn't address this. User:IgnatiusofLondon's idea of an article, rather than a list, would be my preferred solution. Waiting for further comment before deciding whether to "keep and rename". Wikishovel (talk) 12:05, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To my understanding, MOS:TERRORIST imo would address the nature of a weapons test: we'd follow what RS would say. If they describe it as terrorism, we'd call it the same. If not, then not. toobigtokale (talk) 20:55, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per WP:CLNT, lists shouldn't be deleted because you prefer categories. Also, the table is somewhat more informative. Better Nuncio (talk) 10:21, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not merly a preference but a belief a category is more appropriate than a list here — it protects against WP:NOV and other concerns that list articles, as more directly editable pages, facilitate more easily than categories, especially on an article likely to attract politicised commentary. I'd understand the "somewhat more informative" argument if there were dozens of entries on the list, but there aren't. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 22:44, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There have been sources added so this article is no longer unsourced. I heavily disagree with the idea that "What is a terrorist attack and what is not cannot be determined neutrally" as there have been tons of reliable sources on this topic, not to mention all of the other Wikipedia article in this topic area. Swordman97 talk to me 03:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The difference is that the other Wikipedia article in this topic area aren't list-articles. Lists invite WP:NPOV concerns for attacks and attributions that cannot be delicately and objectively discussed. If an editor tomorrow created List of terrorist attacks by the United Kingdom, I'm sure the AfD discussion would conclude in a merge to United Kingdom and state-sponsored terrorism, and likewise for every other country. What's avoiding a deletion here is that North Korea and state-sponsored terrorism doesn't exist, so there is no suitable redirect target. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 21:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

States of the United States could theoretically covered in one article. It's whether the subtopic has enough coverage to establish notability under the notability guideline. This topic unquestionably does: there is substantial international coverage of the merger announcement, more coverage when Hawaiian shareholders approved it (something I have not added yet), prior speculation of consolidation before the announcement, and there will be continued coverage regardless of the outcome. We have many articles about mergers between major companies because if we incorporated all of the info into the primary company's article, it would take over the article: examples include Sprint and T-Mobile, Asiana and Korean Air, Microsoft and Activision, U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel, etc. This is a common enough genre of article that we have an infobox template specifically for this. Avgeekamfot (talk) 00:03, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Additional comment: I understand that the article as it currently stands could be merged but this is just a start. In terms of pure notability source assessment, this article already incorporates significant coverage from the San Francisco Chronicle, Christian Science Monitor, Reuters, and AP. But there's additional significant coverage from essentially every major media outlet in the U.S. and global aviation media. Happy to pull up more if anyone is unconvinced of this and is unable to find these examples easily. Avgeekamfot (talk) 00:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. I'm not saying the merger isn't notable, I'm arguing that it is not notable enough to sustain a standalone article. Even with eight sources cited, there's little more information on this page than there already exists on the Alaska Airlines page. A lot of the sources are simply rehashing the AP or Reuters wire copy, localized to their market, or parroting the Alaska/Hawaiian press release. My biggest concern is that this page will end up like a lot of those merger pages, withering away with little attention from editors who will inevitably focus on the main Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines pages. -- RickyCourtney (talk) 01:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that the proposed merger of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines article has withered away as editors focus on the main airline pages and think the same will happen here as I (and other aviation-interested editors) build this article out. On the contrary, merging the topic into the main article will result in the section becoming disproportionately large. Avgeekamfot (talk) 05:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: to be clear, this is an article about a proposed merger that hasn't happened, and potentially may never happen. I don't know if WP:CRYSTAL or WP:TOOSOON apply, but I don't see the routine churnalism coverage as establishing notability per WP:FUTUREEVENT. Owen× 00:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll come back to this later but it goes far beyond "routine churnalism". There was speculation from industry insiders about consolidation before, there's reporting on the original announcement, coverage of continued movements in the merger process, industry analysis on the effect on competition, anti-trust process, and more. Putting this all in the Alaska Airlines article would take over the article. We don't need a crystal ball to find enough coverage to prove notability of this. Avgeekamfot (talk) 05:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    To elaborate: the original announcement was covered by pretty much every including New York Times, don't think I need to list these out but there's more in the article. There's multiple examples prior speculation/analysis of a merger (need to research this bit more but I've seen others); lots of analysis on consumer impact including from San Francisco Chronicle, Wall Street Journal, ABC, Travel Weekly, Conde Nast, View From The Wing, Star Advertiser; speculation on anti-trust implications from CNBC, Bloomberg Law, Skift, AP, NPR; analysis on how the deal developed from Seattle Times, Bloomberg/Japan Times; continued coverage on developments from KHON; and of course financial coverage on stocks, etc. from Reuters, Forbes, Axios, Barron's. This just scratches the surface. It's not WP:TOOSOON or WP:CRYSTAL. It's also an ongoing event that's not a WP:FUTUREEVENT. It's an ongoing merger that meets the notability threshold with more than enough coverage to merit its own article rather than taking over either airline's article. Avgeekamfot (talk) 16:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. When faced with the issue of how to assess citations from huge collaborations, my usual response it to scan his profile counting only the first-author papers. Necessarily this will lower the subject's citation counts but I think that the resulting lowered counts will be easier to calibrate against the field than counts from publications with so many coauthors that Google won't even list them all. Anyway, for Sahebkar I find "Are curcuminoids effective" (sole author), 340; "Curcumin downregulates human tumor necrosis factor" (five authors), 296; "Effect of curcuminoids on oxidative stress" (four authors), 244; "New peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists" (three authors), 217; "Lipid-modifying effects of nutraceuticals" (seven authors), 189; "Curcuminoids modulate pro‐oxidant–antioxidant balance" (nine authors), 178; "Why it is necessary to translate curcumin into clinical practice" (sole author), 176, etc. I think this shows that, even when only first-author papers are considered, he has a pattern of well-cited publications and moreover a clear focus for his research topics, enough to make me comfortable with calling this a pass of WP:PROF#C1. But that's not the only hurdle. The other question is whether we have enough depth of sourcing to support more than a one-sentence sub-stub. Currently we don't even have that. We only have one database-like primary source listing him as a contractor/visitor at an Australian university, and supporting none of the claims in the article. (The webometrics.info source is not even worth discussion.) So the article as it stands fails WP:V, which trumps notability. I tried some cursory searches but only found random author and speaker profiles likely written by the subject. But if more substantial sourcing of his education and career milestones can be turned up, it might be enough to change my mind. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:10, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment this is tricky, because (1) there are precedents, e.g. Native American ethnobotany, and (2) this particular precedent exists because Native American culture is known for its great knowledge of, and sensitive use of, natural resources, of which plants are a major part. The question in my mind is whether the same applies to Meitei culture? If so, this article could be a reasonable sub-article from the main Meitei culture article? I note that the main article does have a section on "Relationship with nature" but I didn't check if it's by the same editor! It quotes the same story and poem. The main article is mostly an index into sub-articles on aspects of Meitei culture so I don't like the idea of merging the present article into Meitei culture, though parts could be merged into other sub-articles. The "religion" section of the main article is a bit of a mess, and is currently the dumping-ground for material closest to Plants in Meitei culture, so I'm concerned that merging this back would make it even worse. Elemimele (talk) 17:17, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment on your comment. I'm not implacably opposed to ever having an article on this topic, but per my nom, this article is just a grab-bag of ideas. PepperBeast (talk) 19:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you've got a point. Maybe merging the importance-of-nature theme into the religion section of Meitei culture, the folklore paragraph into Meitei folklore, and the bits on plants used in rites and festivals into the matching festival? No objection if anyone produces a more coherent article in future. Elemimele (talk) 20:16, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at the main author's contribution history. It is infuriating. They are just spamming the site with "X in Meitei culture" articles about every object or concept X in the Universe. This is not at all a careful or thought out process like that which went into Native American ethnobotany; it is just the jobless behavior of a Meitei nationalist with too much time on their hands. Brusquedandelion (talk) 09:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Brusquedandelion: Don't accuse other editors of being "Meitei nationalists." This is the second time you've done this; it is pretty much a WP:PA. 🌺 Cremastra (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's hardly an attack unless you think being a Meitei nationalist is inherently bad. This is just the sorts of behavior nationalists engage in; it's inductive reasoning, nothing more, and comes with no value judgement placed on Meitei nationalism. On the contrary I am actually quite sympathetic to Meitei nationalism, and generally agree with their political programme, insofar as it does not concern wasting the time of Wikipedia editors with inane fluff. Brusquedandelion (talk) 21:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would also like to note here that Native American ethnobotany is a much narrower topic than Plants in Meitei culture. You could maybe make a case for titling the article Meitei ethnobotany (or similar), if multiple independent, reliable sources talk about that topic as such, but as it stands, as a WP:SYNTHesized grab bag of anything relating to plans and Meitei culture, there's just no comparison to something like Native American ethnobotany. Brusquedandelion (talk) 02:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and tell the main author to stop making articles like this. Brusquedandelion (talk) 09:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this one. Maybe delete one or two iffy sections, like the list of films named after plants, but overall this article has enough content to meet its stated purpose and theme. I'm guessing at this point that the WP:SYNTHESIS complaint made about this drafter's Metei culture articles is something along the lines of "This article's sections don't really go together well enough to be one article; the Wikiauthor synthesized the connection between these topics by treating them collectively instead of separately" and evaluated the article from that perspective. A snip here and a snip there and it's fixed, with enough left over. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How does a bit of snip snip solve WP: SYNTH problem when the whole article is synthesized? I was under the impression that per Wikipedia notability guidelines, you can't create an article that groups together a bunch of content under a single header unless independent sources have themselves grouped the same content under the same or a similar header. For example, there are plenty of independent sources that discuss Native American ethnobotany as such, in those same terms (mind you, that is already a much narrower topic than, say, Plants in Native American culture), but I can't find any covering Plants in Meitei culture. I do see some books specifically on Meitei ethnobotany, but again, that is much more specific than the current title of the article.
Also, if you think the topic Plants in Meitei culture merits an article under that title, than it is inconsistent to delete one or two iffy sections, like the list of films named after plants. Clearly a Meitei film is part of Meitei culture, and if it mentions plants, at all, in the title or elsewhere, it comes under the purview of such an article.
You can argue an article about X belongs on Wikipedia, or you can argue that an example of X does not belong on Wikipedia, but you can't simultaneously argue that an article about X should exist and yet somehow not cover something that is manifestly an example of X. Brusquedandelion (talk) 02:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the problems with these articles fall under WP:SYNTH per se. There's no conclusion drawn, no "and therefore C." I think this might be one of those times when the nom couldn't figure out what was bothering them about the article and picked the guideline that they felt came close enough (but I'll defer to PB on that). I think we're more in the territory of "Does this belong on Wikipedia?" which is a subjective matter of editorial discretion and not a bright-line rule or rules. Darkfrog24 (talk) 04:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm relatively new to Wikipedia and upon further examination of the wording of WP:SYNTH I see your point (but I'm not the nominator, so I'll let them speak for themselves of course).
While the article is not a list article per se, in many ways it comes close to functioning similarly to a list article, in that it seems to aggregate theoretically disparate topics just because they fall into the intersection of "Meitei culture" and "plants." On this point, I think we can look to the following guidelines from WP:NLIST:

One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources

"Plants in Meitei culture" have not been discussed as a set, and don't really form a "natural category" of the sort that belongs on Wikipedia. Surely Wikipedia does not license creating articles titled "X in culture Y," for every culture Y and every thing or concept X. That doesn't seem to make much sense, does it? Brusquedandelion (talk) 08:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This, exactly. If there are independent, reliable sources on something like Meitei ethnobotany or plants in Meitei culture as such, that would be a reasonable indication that the topic is notable. Simply making a heap of items that involve both a plant and Manipur to is creation of an article through OR/synthesis, not real notability. PepperBeast (talk) 14:44, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, so for this article to satisfy, we'd need sources that say "Plants in Metei Culture" is a thing.
First, let's look at the sources already provided.
1) I don't see any titles that specifically say "The Definitive Book of Plants in Metei Culture" etc, but I do see things like "A Handbook of Folklore Material of Northeast India" and "Oral Tradition and Folklore of Northeast India," either of which might have a chapter on plants. I don't have access to the book, but we could ping the drafter and ask.
Now let's look for sources not already in the article.
1) Midas Touch Manipur looks on the nose, but it's a blog.
2) Now I'll Google "Meitei ethnobotany." Oh, here we go: Ethnobotany ...Manipur Ethnobotanical survey Yeah, I'm getting lots of hits for this. Food plants, medicinal plants. This is just Google, not even Google Scholar. I think it's safe to say that "Plants in Meitei culture" is a thing.
3) Google Books gives us "Glimpses of Ethnobotany & Medicinal Plants of Manipur, N.E.," "Ethno Medicinal Plants of Manipur, North-East India: Thoubal," and so on. "The Cultural Heritage of Manipur" specifically has "plants in Manipur" in the preview.
The fact that those sources aren't in the article now might be an issue, but I'm very comfortable saying it puts it in the "tag and fix" column, not the "delete" column. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:14, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I mentioned earlier, you could maybe make the case for moving the article to Meitei ethnobotany, because I ran into the same sources- but you'd not only need to change the title of the page, you'd also need to substantially revise the content of the page, and take advantage of the sources you listed. Brusquedandelion (talk) 00:04, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not comment on the title at this time. As for content, I find it fine as it is. There is room for improvement, but I see no other issues that would make deletion preferable to retention.
I am starting to get the feeling that you just want these articles deleted, no matter which sources are found or how many concerns are assuaged. Sometimes I get that feeling when the other editor does have a reason, just not one they've said yet. Sometimes it's a "Well if they don't solve problem A, then I don't have to mention problem B" situation. We've solved problem A, so is there a B, even a subjective one? Darkfrog24 (talk) 00:20, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I feel like I've made my reasons pretty clear at this point- unless multiple (or even one) RS's are discussing "Plants in Meitei culture" as a conjunct, it doesn't make sense to have such an article here. You brought up those books on ethnobotany, but that just isn't the same thing, and I had even noted that earlier, before you. Again, if the author wants to create or move the page to Meitei ethnobotany or similar, I would not really have an issue with this, but the current content of the article isn't about that at all, so it would require a rewrite.
I don't think you can introduce sources which discuss Meitei ethnobotany in support for the existence of an article titled "Plants in Meitei culture" and then when I suggest moving the article, simply declare that you do not comment on the title at this time. Articles are supposed to be about the subject indicated by their titles, and if said subject doesn't have independent coverage, it's besides the point that a related topic does have coverage, unless you want to suggest a move- but apparently that's not what you want to do! So it's totally fine if you don't want to discuss the matter of the article's title, but in that case the sources you offer are effectively irrelevant. It's one or the other.
I would also add that if I were really just trying to get this article deleted by any means necessary, for some secret covert reason, I would not have suggested the move (which I did after discussing the same sources as you, before anyone even mentioned a move as a possibility). This was a fundamentally conciliatiory gesture in the sense that it is meant to allow the original article author to salvage as much of their article as they can. Brusquedandelion (talk) 01:23, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep : I don't mean to be confronting or offending anyone's decision. I see that you are worried about WP:SYNTHESIS. However, I believe that cultural elements of a particular X culture include folklores, religion, mythology, theatres, cinema, etc. of X. I don't think we have to find sources that mention that Meitei folklore is a part of Meitei culture. Inside the article, I don't provide anything unsourced or uncited. And all the sources are based on folklores, religion, mythology, theatres, cinema, etc. of Meitei. If the sources mention banyan, peepal, marigold, mustard, etc. in relation to Meitei speaking people alias Manipuri speaking people but not exactly the very wording "plants in Meitei culture", I don't think it means marigold isn't plant. I believe Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue. Besides, there are other similar articles such as Plants in Christian iconography. Everyone is welcomed to improve the article but total deletion is too harsh on this issue. --Haoreima (talk) 15:39, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Our objection isn't that the sources mention banyan, peepal, marigold, mustard, etc. in relation to Meitei speaking people without using the very wording "plants in Meitei culture". Our objection is more that all of the sources seem to fundamentally be about different things- about, as you note, folklores, religion, mythology, theatres, cinema, etc., and it is you, as the author, that has aggregated these things together just because they mention plants and are part of Meitei culture. If multiple reliable independent sources were discussing "plants in Meitei culture" as a unit, the situation would be different.
    As it stands I think you have a chance of making a case for moving the article to Meitei ethnobotany, while dramatically reworking pretty much all of the content to use the sources that Darkfrog24 mentioned above, amongst others. Brusquedandelion (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- First of all, nom admits topic is notable when they say . I'm not implacably opposed to ever having an article on this topic, but per my nom, this article is just a grab-bag of ideas. AfD is famously not cleanup and if the subject is notable any synthesis probs with the current article should be fixed by ordinary editing. Secondly there are tons of sources for this topic so, as nom admits, it is notable. For instance: [16] [17] [18]. Central and Adams (talk) 03:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The individual appears to lack notability, with minimal coverage in reliable sources. Most of the available sources consist of passing mentions, author profiles, and some do not mention the subject at all. Despite efforts, no evidence supporting their notability under WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG criteria could be found. GSS💬 18:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • strong Keep. Chipkin is a prolific writer on South African affairs with numerous articles in reliable publications. The impact of his work in South Africa on state capture cannot be ignored. Paul W (talk) 18:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Co-publishing a report alongside other academics does not automatically confer notability. Since there is no significant coverage of this individual except for some passing mentions, if their only claim to notability is their involvement in the "Betrayal of the Promise Report," it should be considered for redirection to the Zondo Commission article. GSS💬 18:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your proposition contains a conceptual error. The report "The Betrayal of the Promise" is undeniably relevant; however, Ivor Chipkin was the co-author of a book that delves deeper into some of the themes discussed in the report, titled "Shadow State: The Politics of State Capture." This book holds significant relevance to discussions on the subject in South Africa, exploring topics not necessarily within the scope of debates that would later center around the Zondo Commission. Among these issues is the relationship between corruption, state capture, and racial categorizations, as discussed by Liz Stanley from the School of Political Science at the University of Edinburgh in a review of the book (she has no known connection to Ivor Chipkin or Mark Swilling). The Shadow State and Racialising Processes | Whites Writing Whiteness (ed.ac.uk)
Moreover, Ivor is the author of other important reports on corruption, including those published by renowned think tanks as well as those he has directed (such as the Institute for Security Studies, one of the most esteemed in South Africa) Dangerous elites: protest, conflict and the future of South Africa - ISS Africa and authoring thematic book chapters published by Routledge, like "Governance, Resistance and the Post-Colonial State: Management and State Building," edited by Jonathan Murphy and Nimruji Jammulamadaka in 2017.Governance, Resistance and the Post-Colonial State | Management and St (taylorfrancis.com) Andrew Brza (talk) 21:04, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ivor Chipkin and Mark Swilling were the principal authors of the pivotal report entitled "Betrayal of the Promise. They deliberately kept a low profile when the report was released, likely for security reasons. At the time of its release, the authors represented a consortium of individuals from various institutions.
The report was a product of the collaborative efforts of the State Capacity Research Project, led by Mark Swilling as convener. The authorship included a distinguished group: Professor Haroon Bhorat of the Development Policy Research Unit at the University of Cape Town, Dr. Mbongiseni Buthelezi and Professor Ivor Chipkin of the Public Affairs Research Institute at the University of the Witwatersrand, Sikhulekile Duma and Dr. Camaren Peter of the Centre for Complexity and Governance, and the University of Cape Town. Camaren Peter of the Center for Complex Systems in Transition at Stellenbosch University, Lumkile Mondi of the Department of Economics at the University of the Witwatersrand, Professor Mzukisi Qobo of the South African Research Chair Program on African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy at the University of Johannesburg, and Professor Mark Swilling of Stellenbosch University. An independent journalist using the pseudonym Hannah Friedenstein also contributed.
Ferial Haffajee's article on Pravin Gordhan's testimony to the Zondo Commission clearly acknowledges Mark Swilling and Ivor Chipkin as the main authors of the report. This fact is well known in South African public discourse.

My apologies, but your comment does not reflect reality. Chipkin is often cited in the South African context for his work on state capture. Forbes has an interesting article on his profile. His influential work has led to him being invited to write an op-ed in the New York Times. He is regularly asked to give interviews and write op-eds in South Africa. The International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) cited his work as relevant and innovative for proposing new ways to measure state capture in a report published in 2023. He was invited to join the board of the Belgrade Center for Security Policy to contribute to discussions on state capture in the Balkans. He has also been quoted as a source in Brazil's most widely circulated newspaper. If these are not indications of his significant contributions to the field, I find it hard to imagine what other evidence would be acceptable. Andrew Brza (talk) 18:26, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Good cites for his three main works, and reviews for two of them, but only one is an authored and published book. The other reviewed work is an edited volume, which counts for much less, and I couldn't find reviews for "Betrayal of the Promise".

General lack of notability. Out of ten sources present six are self-published (mostly historical and describing various rebrandings) and the other four are from fringe publications that don't really pass a reliability sniff test, with two belonging to Campus Reform (a publication belonging to a right-wing/libertarian think-tank) and the other two being left-wing blog sites that seemingly belong to fringe left-wing political parties/groups that oppose IMT. Doesn't look to be any justification based on notable coverage of the group. Rambling Rambler (talk) 17:03, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've really just highlighted the problem further and why I put it for deletion. Most of the coverage you're demonstrating is about the IMT as a whole, and mostly from other minor groups in the circular firing squad that is Trotyskyist political organisations. There's nothing really here to denote notability of the group itself, certainly nothing in the sort of perennial reliable sources you'd expect to demonstrate notability of a political group.

Fails Wikipedia:Notability (events). Coverage is all local and WP:ROUTINE. User:Namiba 15:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Silicon Valley has almost 2 million people and this is one of the most notable Winter events for children. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:48, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Google News search (above, unmodified) shows multiple major press articles yearly, for sustained, independent, non-trivial RS coverage. Jclemens (talk) 08:37, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Most of the available sources fit within WP:ROUTINE "Planned coverage of scheduled events, especially when those involved in the event are also promoting it, is considered to be routine." A city newspaper covering an annual event is routine coverage. Can you show evidence that the coverage is non-trivial and non-routine?--User:Namiba 12:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure: it's a seasonal event. Allow me to quote the rest of ROUTINE back to you: Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs, and other items that tend to get an exemption from newsworthiness discussions should be considered routine. Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc. may be better covered as part of another article, if at all. Run-of-the-mill events—common, everyday, ordinary items that do not stand out—are probably not notable. This is especially true of the brief, often light and amusing (for example bear-in-a-tree or local-person-wins-award), stories that frequently appear in the back pages of newspapers or near the end of nightly news broadcasts ("And finally" stories). Now... how does an annual, seasonal, citywide event fall under ROUTINE? It doesn't, and you should really feel embarrassed for proposing that it did. If this entire AfD is predicated on your entirely misunderstanding what ROUTINE is and means, please just withdraw this now. Jclemens (talk) 08:30, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, what an unnecessarily hostile response. You ought to consider why you feel the need to be rude to strangers on Wikipedia. Every city in the United States has annual Christmas events. Unless you can show how this event somehow distinguishes itself (through sourcing) then it is you who should be embarrassed for your behavior.--User:Namiba 14:20, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're 1) projecting and 2) misguided. Nothing hostile at all, just pointing out that you have failed to understand the relevant guideline. Now, the fact that you once again pretend that "Every city in the United States has annual Christmas events" is roughly equivalent to Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs demonstrates that you haven't heard the message--which is that what you are trying to do damages the encyclopedia--not much, but still: deleting this would be a wrong outcome. Why is that? The fact that you didn't withdraw the AfD means one of several things might apply. If you really want me to be less than charitable, I can start throwing acronyms at you, but I'll make the request politely again: please withdraw this misguided AfD and stop wasting the community's time. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 16:45, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
RESPONSE
1. Yes, this is a hostile response. Please do not gaslight other users. Do not tell them "you should be embarrassed". Please be civil.
2. WP:NOTBURO. Don't cite policies as some sort of "proof", or else other people might cite stuff back at you like "While Wikipedia's written policies and guidelines should be taken seriously, they can be misused. Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policies without considering their principles."
3. Being an annual event where all the coverage is local press saying "hey, this thing is happening again this year" is pretty much the underlying principle of WP:ROUTINE. What is the exceptional quality that makes it stand out? The city I used to live has a Christmas Market every year(1). That right there is independent coverage. Does it have a Wikipedia page all of its own? Gosh no. It's not notable, except perhaps as a line in a broader article about the city. Recurring annual events are not inherently notable unless they're the SuperBowl or otherwise widely reported. Hemmers (talk) 16:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I see quite a lot of coverage in local but major news sources -- not just "Christmas in the park is happening again this year", but retrospectives like this one or discussions like this one of its economic impact. There's also lots of travel guides by real publishers, like this one, recommending it. And there was evidently some kind of kerfuffle about a Quetzalcoatl statue at the event that was significant enough to make it into a number of serious books like this one.— Moriwen (talk) 15:58, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you expand more on the Christianity and Civil Society source? The link you posted doesn't show whether it is a mention or significant coverage.--User:Namiba 17:11, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Plaza de César Chávez. 3/5 cites are the official website. The remaining two are independent, but WP:ROUTINE press-release adjacent stuff. Most news articles from a quick search are PR-adjacent ("Christmas In The Park Aims To 'Spread Joy To All' This Holiday Season With Inaugural 'Accessible Sunday' Plans", "What Christmas in the Park has planned new for this season"). It's a short article which would be more usefully accommodated as a section in the main article about the Plaza.

Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MADEUP. There is zero indication that the titular subject (the "feudal title" of "Baron of Tirawley" and "Baron of Irrus") had any reality before the title was "claimed" by an individual in late 2023, a bunch of websites were created by that individual in late 2023 early 2024 to assert those claims (tirawley.com, irrus.co.uk), and related articles (to act as WP:COATRACKs for those claims) created on Wikipedia. Relying entirely/only on those non-independent, unreliable, and brand new websites. The article's creator has, in effect, said "what other sources could there be (for a new claim)". The article's creator also stating that "the claim has reality as soon as the claim is made". And, while that may be the case (for all I know) in the world of made-up "feudal titles", that isn't the threshold required on Wikipedia. Per related notability guidelines, WP:ENN and WP:MADEUP.

  • It's bad form to remove most of the article's references and then nominate it for deletion - there were 52 on 1 March and now there's 8, all removed by the AfD nominator. NOTDIRECTORY/LINKFARM doesn't apply here because it's an organisation (that can be solved with editing). I've only checked a couple sources from the last AfD which seem to be more on Mr Woods than the org so won't be !voting yet but a BEFORE search shows it has been at least referenced if not discussed by a couple scholarly articles, and there's a number of sources to sift through. SportingFlyer T·C 15:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm sorry if you consider it bad form but the reason why the references dropped so dramatically is because I checked them. Out of the 52 cited prior to a cleanup I did today ~27 were self-published by IMT or one of their subsections. I then went through the remaining ~25 sources and, when it didn't end up either being a dead link or unreliable source, the sourcing would tend to be Synth or circular in nature or quite frankly almost fabricating claims.
    As an example here is a passage on Malala Yousafzai I removed:
    "In 2012, the IMT published an article denouncing the attempted assassination of Malala Yousafzai, saying she is an IMT supporter and showing a picture of her speaking at an IMT school in Swat, Pakistan.[1] Woods's statement has been used to interpret Yousafzai's politics[2][3] and to speculate on whether she has a communist or anti-religious agenda.[4][5] Yousafzai sent greetings to the March 9, 2013, congress of the Pakistani section of the IMT, saying, "I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation.[6][7][8]"
    As can be seen here the first source is self-published, the second links to a Stop The War opinion piece that's about controversy around then NUS president Malia Bouattia and I can't find the original, the third source is a Pakistani newspaper of unknown reliability that cites IMT's own press release to suggest Malia Y. attended an IMT school, the fourth is a dead blog called Kashmir Watch that again cites IMT's press release, the fifth source The Hindu is paywalled so couldn't access, and sources six to eight supposedly support the claim that Yousafzai sent greetings to the March 9, 2013, congress of the Pakistani section of the IMT yet none of them actually say this, only that she had sent greetings to a "meeting of Marxists". In fact the piece in The Nation links to wikiquote which then links to the IMT website as the final source of the claim.
    So basically all the evidence for "Malala Yousafzai is an IMT supporter" in the end links back to the IMT website as the source.
    On NOTDIRECTORY/LINKFARM, it does apply here because at present once cleanup was complete all that really exists is a table that functions as a directory/link farm to various social media pages and websites of the IMT. The article basically has no content to demonstrate notability of the organisation itself. Rambling Rambler (talk) 16:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    A page on an organisation can't be deleted on NOTDIRECTORY grounds, that doesn't make sense. It would be deleted for failing NORG. A BEFORE search still has to be performed. This is a tough one since it does not appear to have been well covered outside its movement, at least in English. I don't really see anything wrong with the Dawn article, though, unless Dawn is not an RS. SportingFlyer T·C 19:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It does make sense in this case, as at present all the article largely exists as is a directory for various social media pages/websites of the groups different national sections. It's not really an article about IMT as an organisation but where to go for your countries subsection of IMT which gives it the format of a directory/linkfarm. On Dawn, the issue isn't necessarily the reliability of the site (I can't speak to that) but the issue in that it's being used as a supposed RS about Malia in IMT but if you read it the only reference to her and IMT is the line "As an IMT release suggests, Malala Yousufzai attended its National Marxist Youth School in Swat in July this year". The source is therefore still the IMT themselves.
    The complete lack of coverage in English is why I felt it necessary to bring it to AfD. Too much information when trying to find sources for it just end up being a one or two step journey back to their "In Defence of Marxism" site. Rambling Rambler (talk) 20:17, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just a note on self-published sources. RR seems to be conducting a wholeseale removal of self-pubished sources on the assumption that they can never be used. In fact, under Wikipedia:Verifiability#Self-published_or_questionable_sources_as_sources_on_themselves they can be used in the following circumstances:
1. the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim;
2. it does not involve claims about third parties;
3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source;
4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; and
5. the article is not based primarily on such sources.
Self-published sources cannot of course be used to establish notability but self-published sources (such as in this case websites associated with the IMT) can be used as sources for factual things such as events in the organization's history, the names of its publications, and the positions the organization holds or has held. Wellington Bay (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Except I am following that policy. Before I went through line by line and cleaned it up today it was already in breach of point 5 of that list, that the article was primarily based on such self-published sources. While going line by line (as demonstrated in a reply above) it also badly failed points 1, 2, and 3. Many sources used were making claims that were "unduly self-serving", involved third parties, and made claims about events not directly related.
This isn't a problem just with IMT. Wikipedia has far too many articles on fringe political groups/parties where the article is essentially built off of that own groups material. Rambling Rambler (talk) 17:23, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article was fine before you removed nearly all of its content. Here's a list of non-IMT sources from the past year that prove the organization's notability:

The fact that most of the sources were self-published was fine, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. This article could use a lot more criticism of the IMT- I was a former member and I discovered firsthand that they mostly just sell newspapers and do nothing- but its ridiculous to delete it or purge its contents based off a misinterpretation of the Wikipedia rules.

The result was redirect‎ to List of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters#Rulers of Hell without prejudice against moving sources over to the target. The only views here supported by P&G are those proposing Redirect or Merge. All other views seem to rely on invalid arguments about popularity, article size, or sourcing for the target page, not to mention a few !votes who were likely canvassed here, and believe this is a ballot.

Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel)[edit]

Lucifer Morningstar (Hazbin Hotel) (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 there is a Reception section, the mentions are mostly passing from series or episode reviews. Guidelines such as WP:N (WP:FICTION to be more specific) say that coverage of the subject should be significant, and it doesn't seem this character has many. The article also uses many primary sources and has information that could be considered as cruft, but that's a different story. I suggest a redirect to List_of_Hazbin_Hotel_and_Helluva_Boss_characters#Rulers_of_Hell. Spinixster (chat!) 14:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the character list. There's some decent bits here, but these passing mentions aren't really enough to keep the article afloat. If someone finds some proper sources for the article, I'll be willing to reconsider, but being cited only to bits of reviews isn't enough in my eyes. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:52, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters. Anything notable about the character can be mentioned in his profile in the list article. The references are definitely not enough to warrant a full article, either. Blubewwy (talk) 14:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep — Article seems large enough along with enough references (albeit mostly passing ones) to sustain a stand-alone article. In byte size, this article is 19,000 bytes and the character list is 46,000 bytes. A true merge and not just a redirect as proposed by the nominator would keep a lot of information, while a true straight redirect would lose quite a bit of information (an article that is 41% the size of the proposed redirect location). So, I am strongly opposed to a redirect. If consensus was to evolve strongly (not weakly) towards a redirect, then consider this a neutral !vote for a merge, but no way for a straight redirect. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:06, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep WeatherWriter took the words out of my keyboard, I was thinking along the same lines. Also, redirecting a well-referenced article to an almost unreferenced corresponding section seems like a disservice with regard to Wikipedia's ideals for WP:Citing sources. Daranios (talk) 16:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Then the article can be redirected, and cited information can be merged there. I never said to destroy all the cited information. Spinixster (chat!) 01:03, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep. The character list page is horribly written while this page is very well-referenced. 213.233.154.159 (talk) 20:23, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To debunk all the arguments against redirecting the article:
  • Article is large enough: see WP:PLENTY. Just because an article is large in size does not mean it warrants inclusion.
  • Article has many references: see WP:LOTSOFSOURCES: Notability requires the presence of significant treatment of a subject in reliable independent sources, not just the mere presence of the searched-for term.
  • Redirecting the article to an almost unsourced list: this is WP:SOFIXIT level, just merge the information that was in this article when redirecting.
Hope this clarifies everything. Spinixster (chat!) 01:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note, a redirect (as you bolded and noted in your nomination) is not the same as a merge. If you wished for a merge, a merge request should have been used over AfD. Mentioning WP:SOFIXIT to that argument would potentially imply you support a merge instead of a redirect. My !vote will remain Keep, as the discussion is not about merging the article, but rather deleting it and I do not support deletion of the article or content. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 01:45, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The AfD page clearly says Common outcomes are that the article is kept, merged, redirected, incubated, renamed/moved to another title, userfied to a user subpage, or deleted per the deletion policy. A merge and redirect outcome is definitely possible. Spinixster (chat!) 02:00, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, wp:redirects are cheap, and if the character becomes notable in the future, someone can go back and make it. It's not like the information will forever be lost once redirected. Spinixster (chat!) 02:02, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed a merge is a common outcome of an AfD. However, like has been explained above, in contrast to your nomination your current argumentation seems to support a merge rather than a redirect. In such a case a merge discussion rather than an AfD would have been the course recommended by policy.
Thanks for the source analysis, but I personally do not follow the "Proves notability" column. The notability guideline nowhere states that extended treatment has to be within any one specific source. I am aware that opinions on that point are divided. What the guideline does say is that the topic does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Of course the treatment must not be trivial, but I believe that e.g. praise of the performance of the character is not. In a case where the phrasing of the policy is ambiguous, I always like to look back at the intent rather than the letter, which is spelled out in WP:WHYN: We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic. The secondary sources collectively (supplemented by primary ones) in my view provide enough material to have a full, non-stubby article. Merging the relevant content in the target list would make for an akwardly large section there, out of balance with the rest of that list. So while I can see a merge, I remain with my keep !vote. Daranios (talk) 11:31, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If praise for an actor's portrayal of a character is merely enough for the character to be individually notable, then surely characters such as Evelyn Wang or Charlie, whose actors have been lauded and won awards for their portrayals, would be notable? No, because in the end, the praise is contained within the confines of the film/series/etc. Articles such as Ngoc Lan Tran or Homer Simpson shows the character's notability via analysis of the character and/or the character's impact.
And no, how well the article is written does not go into play here. No matter how bad or good it is, if it's not notable, it does not warrant for inclusion on Wikipedia. See WP:LOOKSGOOD. Spinixster (chat!) 12:25, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The critical reception section of Ngoc Lan Tran looks pretty similar to what you describe and what we have here to me. More generally, to then surely characters such as Evelyn Wang or Charlie, whose actors have been lauded and won awards for their portrayals, would be notable I actually say: Yes, if there is enough material to support a full article, and if that commentary does not fit better into the main article based simply on WP:PAGEDECIDE rather than notability. I guess we can agree to disagree on that. (Paradoxically, a side character like Lucifer here might be more suitable for a separate article than a main character based on how well their coverage fits into the flow of the article about the work of fiction.) The fact that we don't have articles on Evelyn Wang (Everything Everywhere All at Once) or Charlie (The Whale) (yet!) is not relevant for our discussion here based on WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. As for how well the article is written does not go into play here, I can't remember to have made that argument. Did I? Daranios (talk) 15:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You said, The secondary sources collectively (supplemented by primary ones) in my view provide enough material to have a full, non-stubby article. That is true, but that does not go into play on how the character is notable.
The critical reception of the Ngoc Lan Tran article is not the only thing keeping the article afloat, but even then, there's much more depth on the reception. For example, the Vulture source talks about how the character has attracted criticism and talks about the depth of the character. And of course, the character's reception section will have reviews of the film itself! I doubt any critic will write an article that goes in-depth about a random fictional character from something that has just been released. But the reviews talk extensively about the character and give the character coverage. There is also sustained coverage from the next few years after the film has been released (2019, 2022, etc) So the question is would the character be suitable for a separate page right now, when the show is in its early stages? And if these reviews are enough, would every single character in Hazbin Hotel deserve a separate page, because critics will definitely talk about these characters? Probably not.
I won't repeat what I said again, but here are more examples of fictional characters that are notable, just to compare:
  • Beverly Marsh from It: while the reception section is quite stubby, the character has attracted analysis and criticism, which is listed there.
  • Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village: Keep in mind I'm not comparing the quality of the article, but see how many of the reception sources are also reviews of the game itself. But many sources also comment on fans' interest in the character.
So basically, the question that needs to be asked is that: will the character have sustained coverage in the next few years or so? Similar AfDs such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mickey Mouse (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) concerns contemporary sources. While there are many, many sources at the time, the Last Week Tonight version of Mickey Mouse did not get sustained coverage.
Sorry for the long wall of text, but tl;dr, WP:SUSTAINED. The article can always be redirected, and then when sources are available, someone can recreate it. Spinixster (chat!) 01:18, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is true, but that does not go into play on how the character is notable. That seems to me to be in direct conflict with WP:WHYN. Daranios (talk) 11:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be misunderstanding me. While the sources are usable to talk about things like plot, development, etc., it does not mean that it proves the character's notability. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Afton (2nd nomination), which was deleted/redirected for almost the same reason. Spinixster (chat!) 13:44, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I misunderstand. If you were to look again at why we have the notability requirements, I am convinced that the article we have here does fulfill what's requested there, I've already quoted the passage. Therefore it also fulfills the intent of WP:N. Daranios (talk) 16:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you see the deletion discussion page of William Afton that I've linked and checked the old page, you can see that that page also has a reception section similar to this one, however, the mentions are trivial/passing. If you look at WP:WHYN, it explicitly says that there must be significant coverage, which this article does not have right now. Spinixster (chat!) 04:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, it says there there must be significant coverage. And then it goes on to explain what that means: Coverage that allows us to actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic, while of course also fulfilling the requirements of an encyclopedia like WP:ALLPLOT, use of secondary sources, etc. Do we have only half a parargraph or purely a definition of the topic? No, we do have a full, non-stubby article. Which means we have significant coverage as defined in WP:WHYN, and which means the topic is notable in my book. Daranios (talk) 07:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And it's not like one has to copy all of the little information into the list article. See any list of characters articles such as List of 30 Rock characters or List of Fresh Off the Boat characters Spinixster (chat!) 12:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
True, in a merge not all information has to go into the target article. But that's a backwards argument here: A merge is feasible if we cut some sourced material. But there is no need for a merge, and I see then such a cut as making the presentation less good/comprehensive than what we already have, so I see no improvement for Wikipedia here. And then this sounds like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Daranios (talk) 15:51, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that a merge would probably not be needed.
Wikipedia doesn't really have much consistency when it comes to list of characters articles. The two lists I gave are very different from each other. Whereas 30 Rock includes full information about the characters, Fresh Off the Boat only gives a summary. I personally prefer the latter, especially if it's a show that doesn't have a complicated plot like List of Breaking Bad characters, because it just simply tells us the characters, their backgrounds and their personalities, which is pretty straightforward. As far as I'm concerned, Hazbin Hotel seems to be in the middle of both, but these lists should not substitute episode/list of episode articles in terms of talking about plot, especially for a side character. Spinixster (chat!) 01:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I assume when you say that a merge would probably not be needed you mean a redirect will suffice, while I mean that we have a reasonably fine article which we should kept rather than merged. So rather than compare to how other topics have been handled on Wikipedia, I suggest to go back to the most basic question: How would a redirect (or merge for that matter) benefit the users of Wikipedia as compared to the article we have now? Daranios (talk) 11:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here's the problem: If a "reasonably fine article" is a good reason as to why an article should be kept, then we might as well make pages for all the characters, because an article is obviously better than a redirect to a short summary of the character. However, this violates WP:N and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Spinixster (chat!) 13:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We do have a solution in place that prevents us from making pages for all the characters: Enough non-trivial treatment in secondary sources. I think we just disagree if this kind of coverage can be made up from a number of shorter treatments or only from longer appearances in secondary sources. We cannot have pages for all fictional characters, because such secondary sources do not exist for all fictional characters. Therefore we do not suddenly create a problem with WP:NOTDIRECTORY if we keep this article, which has enough commentary from secondary sources. With that out of the way, we are back to the basic question: How would redirecting (or merging) the well-referenced stand-alone article we have to a very bare-bones, almost unreferenced list section benefit the users of Wikipedia? Daranios (talk) 16:22, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And as I've said above, If a "reasonably fine article" is a good reason as to why an article should be kept, then we might as well make pages for all the characters, because an article is obviously better than a redirect to a short summary of the character. However, this violates WP:N and WP:NOTDIRECTORY. If a user wants to find more information on Lucifer Morningstar of the show Hazbin Hotel, there's a Fandom page that does exactly that, and WP:Wikipedia is not Fandom. Spinixster (chat!) 04:13, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So you have repeated your statement which I thought I had already explained about. So maybe I should explain some more: You seem to object to my phrase of a "reasonably fine article". I did not mean that as in a subjective I like the article, but rather that it is one which fulfills Wikipedia's requirements to an encyclopedic article reasonably well. WP:NOTDIRECTORY says we should avoid Simple listings without contextual information showing encyclopedic merit. Noone is doing that here. If we were to do a listing of all characters in the series, and included the material we have here, this entry would specifically stand out as not being a simple listing entry, because it does provide contextual information in the production information and especially reception section. So again, no problem there. The existence of the article is also not asking us to create such a listing, how would it? And the article fulfills the related requirement more specifically geared towards topics within fiction, WP:ALLPLOT. As for Fandom, the wikis there generally approach things the opposite way, concentrating on plot information and primary sources. That's also the case with the specific article you've linked. Something like our reception section here is missing. So referring a person interested in more detailed plot information to Fandom is of course fine. But if we were to change this into a redirect and refer readers to Fandom, we would exactly cut out what makes this article encyclopedic. So, once more, I am still waiting for a convincing argument how hiding all the information we have now in the history of a redirect, and referring them to the list section which only has a little commentary (and that unreferenced), would benefit the readers of Wikipedia. Absent such, let's keep the article as is. Daranios (talk) 07:33, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since List of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss characters would need signficant expansion before a merge could be considered, I would throw towards keep, but would support a separate discussion on whether or not to move this to draftspace as making much more sense. 185.114.163.227 (talk) 18:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is based on Wikipedia policies:
  • WP:N says there must be significant coverage from reliable, secondary sources. Passing mentions are not significant coverage, and there's only one source that has significant coverage (it's debatable, thus why I said 50/50).
  • WP:INTERVIEW says that interviews are primary sources. Additionally, Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability says Anything interviewees say about themselves or their own work is both primary and non-independent, and therefore does not support a claim for notability. So if what is said about the character is not by the journalist but by whoever's being interviewed, it's primary and does not support a claim for notability.

I think you are right about the sourcing situation on this article. I'm leaning Delete or Draftify on it, as per my statement above, the lack of in-depth sources on Lucifer is too great to ignore. ~ GoatLordServant(Talk) 12:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing seems to exist from a quick Google on the topic, it would just need one of these tags: And for a user following the tag to then add about two or three more reviews in / mention more from the existing ones. As a comment, when did we forget adding these tags is the first step ahead of spending a week arguing for / against deletion? Off of this I would say either to add this tag and Keep, or Draftify. ICOTEYE (talk) 18:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What sources are you eyeing? Google searches and hits on the topic don't indicate notability, and if there's any articles that indicate more significant coverage, it would be good to share this to the overall discussion.

He's also won several notable awards, including the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award and the Padma Shri. The article is presently poorly sourced and written in the tone of an obituary, but can be improved. If it's reviewed and moved to main space, it should be at either M. Subramania Sarma or M.

I don't think this highway actually exists. There's no information on its location in the article, it doesn't seem to be in the national map that's cited, and I couldn't find any other sources that mention it. TheCatalyst31 ReactionCreation 01:21, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I repeat what I said on AFD Mexican Federal Highway 18. Please see its navbox. As far as I can tell,these are all done the same done way by Dr. Blofeld. Note the navbox at the bottom of the page. Also the talk page banners indicate this is ongoing project of both WikiProject Mexico, and WikiProject Highways. Category:Mexican Federal Highways. Stubs are a vital part of Wikipedia. Disagreements with that should probably be addressed to the individual projects overseeing this. — Maile (talk) 23:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, a random look at various entries of highways, it looks like the sources are all Spanish-language PDF. Inasmuch as the sourcing seems to be like that in all I've looked at, perhaps this really is a project issue, not an AFD issue. What's the point in deleting a handful, when all the articles use that PDF sourcing as a basis? — Maile (talk) 23:36, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you please clarify how "Stubs are a vital part of Wikipedia" justifies an article on something that may not exist? Stubs without sources are not vital.

Not yet notable as a politician according to WP:POLITICIAN and WP:NSUBPOL. He's a mayor and former councilmember of a small borough with a population of under 8K, and in a WP:BEFORE search I can only find routine local coverage of his campaign and election. The state commission appointment by the governor also seems to have had only routine local coverage. Having been elected at such an early age, he might well move up to an elected state position eventually, and would then certainly merit an article, but for now it's WP:TOOSOON.

  • Delete, of course without prejudice against recreation in the future if he moves up the ranks to a more notable position.

Article has been tagged for accuracy since 2010. If Judeo-Golpaygani actually existed, it may in fact have been a dialect (see Talk). There seems to be very little out there that doesn't originate with our article. Some documents which may be useful can be found in the collection National Library of Israel (if we have an expert in the subject, their knowledge would be especially helpful here).
[NB: Article could also possibly be merged into Judeo-Iranian languages or Jewish languages.] Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Judeo-Iranian languages, unless new information comes to light suggesting it is a hoax. I originally voted keep, because The Languages of the Jews: A Sociolinguistic History by Bernard Spolsky references the erstwhile existence of Judeo-Golpaygani (p. 241). It is ambiguous on the dialect v. language question, but that's a matter of article content, and not a question for AfD. Now, is it possible this book got its information from Wikipedia and that this is an elaborate hoax? The book was published in 2014, after the creation of this Wikipedia article, so we can't rule that out, but this is a pretty reputable source, published by Cambridge University Press. (Do you (or anyone) have any evidence for or against such a claim?) However, it is clear that even if the language variety really existed, precious little has ever been published about it in reliable sources, and not nearly enough to write a proper Wikipedia article. Therefore I think it warrants merging into Judeo-Iranian languages. Brusquedandelion (talk) 05:31, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In one episode, he ventilates the night with the fire-spitting 40mm cannon aboard an AC-130 Spectre gunship. On another, Mack visits with the men behind the Massive Ordinance Air Blast device (MOAB), a 21,000-pound, mushroom-cloud-forming super-bomb that is the largest conventional weapon in the Air Force arsenal, thus earning it the nickname Mother Of All Bombs."

      The review notes: "This new series is basically Top Gear for budding psychopaths or wannabe warlords, a laddish showcase of the latest in death-dealing hardware, from assault rifles to surface-to-air missiles. It's presented by a former Navy SEAL called Richard "Mac" Machowicz, a shaven-headed, lantern-jawed version of Jeremy Clarkson -only without the irony and the ill-fitting jeans -who says things such as "Let's take care of this threat!"

    Kayenvee, thank you, but I think you may perhaps misunderstand what is required now. We need to demonstrate that this article is about a notable school, per WP:N. To demonstrate this we need to show it is discussed, with significant coverage, in reliable independent secondary sources. Books, research papers and documentaries are all fine. Magazine articles would generally be fine too, although news reporting coverage in newspapers generally would not be. We don't want to delete the article, but we do need to demonstrate that there is an encyclopaedic subject. That is, we need to have something to say about the school, rather than just noting its existence. Are you aware of any such coverage? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 13:30, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete As an international school, you would expect to find enough English-language sources on the school if it was able to meet notability standards. I nominated this page for AfD a few weeks ago and I am still unable to find sources to justify keeping this page. Kayenvee's user account is also purely used to edit this article spanning multiple years. I suspect WP:COI. pinktoebeans (talk) 19:18, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Sourcing Thanks to Kayenvee for your efforts thus far. At this point the article now has 11 sources. However, most of these are newspaper reports that are usually going to run into an issue of being primary sources - reports of an event such as the swimming event in source 8, for instance.[28] I think all of these sources are primary, but I was somewhat impressed by [29] (this one is self published and primary) and [30] (primary but published in a reliable source). Despite issues with using them, both these sources speak to some level of notability, in that a school whose students are winning national or prestigous awards and getting mentioned in national newspapers may well be notable. The case is not made yet, but neither am I ready to say it can't be made. I am making this comment now so that we can see if any secondary sourcing exists. Please note that non English sources are allowed too, if such exist. The problem I still have is that I cannot find any such sources, although it does get mentioned in a couple of research papers, e.g. this one on teacher burnout during COVID.[31] Those are not quite what we need though. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:08, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And just a follow up thought. Am I right in saying that this school is one of a collection of Cambridge international schools? Maybe rather than a page on this school there should be a page on the CIS schools as a group and this could be merged into that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep‎. Closers are here to assess the deletion discussion and clearly the consensus is to Keep this article. Opinion hasn't changed after a relist and, in fact, has resulted in new sources being found. If the nominator is set on having this article deleted, I'd try another AFD in six months.

  • Keep Considering this is an airport with scheduled commercial airline service, I'd be very surprised if it actually failed WP:GNG. I've found [32] and a couple mentions here, along with a large list of Google Books results in French I'm having difficulty translating, and some hits from New Caledonia including some very routine stories such as [33] [34] [35] [36] including how the airfield fire truck was stolen, so it's not as if there's nothing at all out there about this airport, and I'm absolutely convinced there's more out there, just that it's difficult to access, as I had to go outside simple searches to find anything. SportingFlyer T·C 16:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The Musée Maritime is a passing mention ("aérodrome de Koumac"). RSMA also only offers a passing mention. I don't have access to sources 2, 3, 4 and 5, but without a single sentence about the airport, it certainly trends towards trivial coverage, unless proven otherwise. A series of fire trucks being stolen from an aerodrome does not mean said aerodrome is notable unless it is the source of the actual coverage (I would expect, at the very minimum, a couple of sentences about said airport in an article from the local press). Pilaz (talk) 18:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The Museé Maritime shows the airport was used during the second World War, and there are some other links available to support that. The articles I posted were routine stories about the airport going back to 2020, including the theft of a fire truck and the fact there would be an airshow there. The point, though, is that the airport has been frequently mentioned in local press, and that there should be sources out there to make this article pass GNG. Often times at AfD the argument is over whether the only 3-4 sources show notability, in this case there appear to be a lot of local mentions, and mentions in both travel guides as a place to start visiting the region and books showing it housed the 2nd US battalion during WWII. There's plenty of information to build an article on here. SportingFlyer T·C 19:16, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    All I'm going to add is that we're looking for SIGCOV about the airport here, not just tangential mentions. Notability is determined by multiple reliable, independent sources covering the subject in detail, not by a list of single sentence trivial mentions. Surely, if the topic is notable, those must exist, but until they are found we remain in the domain of WP:SOURCESMUSTEXIST. Pilaz (talk) 23:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems odd to undo a unanimous keep consensus simply because the nominator isn't pleased with the results... I said "Keep, for reasons given above by SportingFlyer" because I thought they gave a sufficient argument such that no further was needed, so I was expressing agreement to give more credence to their arguments. But regardless, here are further that I have found...
Most of the sources are not going to be in English, but there are English mentions of the airport on these reliable sources here and here, and an English reference to the ambulance incident already mentioned from a non-English source. Here is some very general information about the airport.
It also looks like multiple travel guides mention the airport.
Is it as notable as a New York or a Beijing airport? No, of course not. But it is certainly notable enough to have an article. Vontheri (talk) 03:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also this describes it as "a midsized airport", so it is not just some tiny insignificant airport. Vontheri (talk) 04:16, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for elaborating beyond WP:PERX. I wasn't going to intervene to avoid WP:BLUDGEONING, but since you mention me, let me just add that there seems to be a misunderstanding. Beyond the fact that deletion discussions are not mere votes, the issue I have is that airports are not inherently notable - they have to pass the General notability guideline like every other non-guideline specific articles. And the problem isn't that the airport doesn't appear in reliable sources, it's that it is only barely mentioned. As far as I can tell, none of the sources presented in this discussion help meet WP:SIGCOV, one of the pillars of the GNG: the first source you offer only gives a passing mention; the second one you offer is also only a passing mention, but also generally unreliable (WP:RSPSIMPLEFLYING); the Medical Air Service is neither independent from the airport nor offers significant coverage about it. The two other sources seem to simply gather easily-accessible data (simply listing ICAO, ICAN codes does not a notable airport make). Travel guides are tertiary sources, and since we're only looking for secondary sources, those do not help meet the GNG either.
You can refute the thesis that this airport has not received significant coverage from reliable sources. You just have to find sources that satisfy all the criteria of the GNG and show them here. Otherwise, it's good to remember that not all airports have articles or need articles - some can simply live an accessible life to the reader through a redirect, such as the ones that do not have articles in List of airports in New Caledonia.

This is an airport with scheduled commercial airline service which hosted a battalion during World War II and which frequently hosts air shows and regularly gets at least mentions in local newspaper articles. I don't know what coverage exactly you're looking for, but we can write a very decent little article on it using the secondary coverage that exists, and this is a very easy keep !vote, and I have absolutely no idea why you think listifying this will improve the encyclopaedia. SportingFlyer T·C 20:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no misunderstanding. We simply disagree about what meets notability standards or not. I know that wikipedia does not consider deletion discussions to be votes, but I do know that the fact that a discussion being unanimous (apart from the nominator) does normally result in a "keep" outcome and does carry some weight, if not de jure then at least de facto.
May I ask exactly how you think the encyclopedia would be improved by removing the article? What harm is the article causing?
If I knew French then I'm sure this would be easier to find more references. But I have found these three in English that mention the military use and history of the airport: reference 1 reference 2 reference 3 Vontheri (talk) 23:20, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just wanted to bring attention to the fact that @SportingFlyer and I have added new content and references to the article which hopefully will be sufficient to convince a "keep". I'm sure that over time, if the article is not deleted, more references will be uncovered and the article can grow, giving useful information to readers.

Comic world arc/plot summary and nothing but. No reception, or analysis, my BEFORE failed to find anything substantial. Fails WP:GNG. Suggst redirecting to List of New X-Men story arcs per WP:ATD-R.

Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 23:18, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The book is in Z-library, but searching for new worlds gives just the magazine mention. There is an entire chapter on "‘It’s a Trap! Don’t Turn the Page’: Metafiction and the Multiverse in the Comics of Grant Morrison" by Kate Roddy, but it does not seem to mention this arc, and even the term X-men appears just briefly and in relation to the New X-Men series.

  • Merge So apart from secondary sources which only mention the existence of this story arc/series of comics, the ScreenRant article seems to be the only one with a bit of commentary. Therefore not enough to establish notability. A selective merge to List of New X-Men story arcs (with the help of that one source) seems best to me. I don't think a pure redirect would be very helpful, as our story arc here is not yet even mentioned at the target. Please let me know if anyone finds more sources. Daranios (talk) 20:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to List of New X-Men story arcs per Daranios. As they said, a plain redirect in this case would not work as the story is not mentioned there currently, and the entire Grand Morrison section is simply a redirect to a category at the moment. So, at the very least, a bit of a merge would be needed for this to work. Rorshacma (talk) 17:58, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
