- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was merge to List of accidents and incidents involving the Yakovlev Yak-40. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 01:01, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- 1976 Aeroflot Yakovlev Yak-40 crash (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)
Per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT: Other than databases, there exists no reliable secondary sources that provide (significant) coverage of the event, no in-depth coverage, no (sustained) continued coverage, no demonstrated lasting effects nor long-term impacts on a significant region of the world that would make this event notable enough for a stand-alone article. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events, Aviation, Transportation, and Russia. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- WP:COI I have a soft-spot for the Yak-40; it's a pretty little thing that deserved greater success in the wider world.
- Anyways - although not especially notable in itself, is this event just one of hundreds of similar articles, and will they go through the same Afd process? Yes, I know, there is a WP: for what I have just done, but see my next point before shooting me down.
- One of the reasons for lack of (significant) coverage is surely due to historical censorship in the Soviet Union; in this case their reluctance to acknowledge such aviation
crashesaccidents? Had this event occurred in the USA, with seven fatalities I am sure it would have been front-page news, and years later spawned an episode of Mayday (Canadian TV series). Was this article always doomed to fail simply because it happened not just in Russia, but in a remote backwater of such a vast country. Where is Ust-kut airport anyway, and does anybody care? But whilst you are there, look at this beauty, steaming out at low-level.
- One of the reasons for lack of (significant) coverage is surely due to historical censorship in the Soviet Union; in this case their reluctance to acknowledge such aviation
- Back on track; there was one part of this accident article that I found most interesting; the aircraft was being used as a freight carrier, not at the end of its career, but in its heyday. It is not what you first think of when you look at the lede image and see those rear-airstairs deployed. The List of accidents and incidents involving the Yakovlev Yak-40 doesn't mention that it was a predominantly cargo flight, and deleting this article would deprive us of that detail. Ok, so I'm clutching at straws now, but there is a real point hidden in that comment.
- So, it's a KEEP, pending a response from you (or others) that persuades me to change my mind, which I assure you is a real possibility.
- (*) On a separate issue; back in the USSR (!), even though I like to ride my bicycle (I like to ride my bike), I'm fairly sure that I wouldn't be allowed to pedal my agenda incessantly. <coughs>. Ok, that's my way of apologising for interjecting into a conversation between you and third-parties; I am not sure what the correct form is in these cases, although I am rapidly reaching the stage of applying 'do not feed the troll', which seems to be one of the aims of the "project". Maybe I'm Losing My Religion, or maybe I've said too much.
- WendlingCrusader (talk) 14:27, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- I mean, it is a beautiful picture if we're being honest. But back to this discussion, none of this really tells us why this event is notable enough to be kept. It's possible that it could have been notable had it happened in the US, but it's also possible that it couldn't. Maybe if it had been covered on Mayday, it could have been notable enough for a standalone article, but cases such as the 1991 Gulf War KC-135 incident don't have an article (which was sent to AfD a few months ago). In short, a standalone article relies on the existence of secondary sources. None exist. Whether or not there were lasting effects or long-term impacts will need to be demonstrated.
- A merge to List of accidents and incidents involving the Yakovlev Yak-40 to include more details is a possibility. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 06:07, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Aeroflot accidents and incidents in the 1970s. Article is covered there. Meltdown627 (talk) 19:43, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 23:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: seems relevant and useful to me. 190.219.101.225 (talk) 02:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Being "Useful" is not an argument. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 09:43, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per Aviationwikiflight. Its entry in the list can be expanded to include key details such as that it was a cargo flight and some details of the currently unspecified "crew errors". ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:29, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

- Carmine Nappi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article, which appears to suffer from WP:TAGBOMBING, does not establish notability per WP:MUSICBIO. While it includes WP:TOOMANYREFS, many are only passing mentions, and some do not mention the subject at all. I would have considered draftifying it, but since it is an AfC-accepted article, I have brought it here for community inputs. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 16:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Italy. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 16:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral: My AFC acceptance was as a borderline acceptance, something we are encouraged to do. I have a personal policy of remaining steadfastly. neutral when an AFC acceptance of mine cones to AfD. I will be interested in the eventual outcome. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 17:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. I think it should be allowed to breathe for a little while longer. If time passes and no better sources are added (making it definitely fail WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG) then deletion should be considered. Beachweak (talk) 14:09, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- keep. From what I understand, the issue arises from “a lack of articles/I am not mentioned in the articles,” but upon checking the articles, everything written on the Wikipedia page is cited in the articles, and my name is also present in these articles, sometimes even in the title, such as:
- • “Carmine Nappi, Music, Shows, and Management at a National Level”
- • “Carmine Nappi Project and Top Records Present Giuseppe Iadonisi with the Song ‘Luna’”
- • “Carmine Nappi is the Product Manager of Ella Armstrong’s New Album”
- • “Carmine Nappi Project: A Remarkable Presence in the Musical and Cultural Field”
- • TAG: “CARMINE NAPPI PROJECT on laprovinciaonline”
- Others mention it in the text, for instance:
- · “Talent Show in Naples: Sanremo & Castrocaro Objective”
- o “Carmine Nappi – Producer and Manager (Carmine Nappi Project Management & Productions), National Coordinator of ‘A Voice for Sanremo.’”
- · “Giuseppe Iadonisi Wins ‘A Voice for Sanremo’”
- o “In recent days, an agreement was finalized between the artist’s producer, Carmine Nappi, and the record label that owns the ‘A Voice for Sanremo’ trademark, ‘Bao Bello Music,’ led by record producer Fabio Ciacci.”
- o “Indeed, these days, his first album, titled ‘Il tuo domani,’ will be released on platforms via ‘Zimbalam,’ managed by Carmine Nappi Project Management & Productions.”
- · “Sanremo Festival. Campanian Artists in the RAI New Proposals Category Selections”
- o “Producers Guido Palma and Carmine Nappi, heads of the record labels ‘Top Records’ and ‘Carmine Nappi Project,’…”
- o “The producers Carmine Nappi and Guido Palma express great satisfaction with their selections as they move towards presenting these five artists at the Sanremo competition, with much confidence. Their hope is that one of them succeeds in advancing through the selection, given the talent each possesses. The production also thanks Giuseppe Iadonisi, an artist who has worked closely with Carmine Nappi and Guido Palma in recent months to finalize work plans for the various artists, focusing on music and video aspects.”
- · “Sanremo 2016: Artist Presentation for RAI New Proposals Category Selections”
- o “Producers Carmine Nappi and Guido Palma express great satisfaction with their selections as they move towards presenting these five artists at the Sanremo competition, with much confidence. Their hope is that one of them succeeds in advancing through the selection, given the talent each possesses.”
- o “Producers Guido Palma and Carmine Nappi, heads of the record labels ‘Top Records’ and ‘Carmine Nappi Project,’ completed the lengthy process of selecting artists for the ‘Youth Towards the Future’ project, which began in December 2014, an idea conceived by Nappi himself and the well-known Italian record producer Guido Palma, a highly respected figure in the Italian music industry, awarded the Career Achievement Award by the AFI (Italian Phonographic Association) in 2012.”
- o “The production also thanks Giuseppe Iadonisi, an artist who has worked closely with Carmine Nappi and Guido Palma in recent months to finalize work plans for the various artists, focusing on music and video aspects.”
- · “Ama-Man, the New Album by Giuseppe Iadonisi”
- o “His second work is co-produced by the Carmine Nappi Project Group and Top Records of Milan.”
- o “It is the result of a human and musical journey that has grown over time and matured with Giuseppe, to the extent of having all the credentials to be labeled ‘discographic.’ It will be co-produced by the Carmine Nappi Project Group and Top Records of Milan.”
- o “The final thanks go to Carmine Nappi, the producer who believed in him and continues to support him, wishing him a special future. We at Clarus believe in him too…”
- · “Nola: At the Mondadori Literary Café, the Exclusive Preview of Ella Armstrong’s New Album”
- o “The EP, distributed by ‘Top Records and Carmine Nappi Project’”
- o “First Record Work for Luisa Iossa, Winner of the Vallo Fest Contest 2019”
- o “With a guitar for a friend and many words to put into music, she is now preparing to debut her first record work after winning the Vallo Fest 2019 festival, which gave her the opportunity to sign her first record deal with Carmine Nappi, Producer of the Carmine Nappi Project.”
- · “From Terzigno to Sanremo: Pasquale Auricchio and His ‘Immense Love’”
- o “Supported by his teacher and producer Carmine Nappi, to whom he feels very personally connected.”
- Therefore, I do not see a lack of sources; on the contrary, I have included several articles for every cited element, confirming its accuracy and ensuring a neutral point of view based on newspaper articles. I would like to specifically understand which part of the text is not cited in the articles, creating this alleged lack of sources. Carminenappi1986 (talk) 16:51, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Carminenappi1986, simple mentions in articles to not satisfy the WP:GNG. In particular the 2nd point
"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail [...]. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.
with the example provided:Martin Walker's statement, in a newspaper article about Bill Clinton, that "In high school, he was part of a jazz band called Three Blind Mice" is plainly a trivial mention of that band.
. Looking through the articles, they indeed mention Carmine Nappi, but they do not go beyond a trivial mention or WP:ROUTINE mention.
Source 1: [1] mentions simply "Carmine Nappi – Produttore e Menager (Carmine Nappi Poject Menagement & Produzioni), Coordinatore nazionale di “Una voce per Sanremo”
"[sic], with no further comments or discussion on Carmine. As such, this article does not contribute to the encyclopedic notability of the article's subject. It could be used once notability is established to show the person was part of this specific event's jury, but that is dependent on the subject passing WP:GNG. Source 2: [2] does not mention Carmine. Source 3: [3] is similar to source 1 in that the content related to Carmine is extremely limited, at best establishing that Carmine negotiated a contract with the artist, but has no discussion on Carmine - who they are, why they chose to sign this artist, what they have done prior... Similarly, some sources do not appear to be fully independent or could raise questions on independence (e.g., Source 5 [4] which is authored by Comunicato Stampa, English: press release).
There are some good sources nonetheless, I note Source 4 [5] as seeming quite good and in-depth. I note however with some surprise that the same author (Mauro Romano) is attributed authorship of both this article and of Source 6 [6] which appears to be almost word-for-word the press release published in Source 5, making me strongly question if Marigliano.net is a reliable source, and if Mauro Romano's article in Source 4 is not churnalism, which are generally considered similarly to press releases for WP:GNG purposes. This is a concern, since Mauro Romano is a... frequent author of the sources cited in the article.
Having said all this, what would you say are the WP:3SOURCES that best establish that Carmine Nappi passes the WP:GNG in your view? (Note that WP:3SOURCES is an essay, not a guideline). I may prepare a source review to share my view, but as you are the article creator you likely already have a good grasp on which sources are most relevant. Shazback (talk) 01:11, 30 November 2024 (UTC)- Comment: Shazback, In response to Mauro Romano’s case, he is a former journalist for several journalistic outlets, as reported by the following articles:
- “Official press agents Mauro Romano, poet and literary critic, and contributor to online newspapers such as Marigliano.NET and La Provincia” (NapoliToday)
- “Worthy of note is the collaboration, at the press level, of the journalist from Marigliano.NET and ‘Provinciaonline’ Mauro Romano” (PuntoMagazine)
- (And if you search, more sources can be found.)
- As for the credibility of marigliano.net, the homepage itself states:
- “Marigliano Copyright © 2005 - 2024 ONLINE JOURNALISTIC OUTLET REGISTERED IN THE REGISTRY OF THE NOLA COURT - REGISTRATION N° 137 OF 13/3/2007 P. IVA 07545791217 - R.O.C. 37407 [...]"
- This confirms that it is indeed a registered journalistic outlet in Nola, Italy.
- Regarding the issue of providing further details (“Carmine is extremely limited, at best establishing that Carmine negotiated a contract with the artist, but has no discussion on Carmine - who they are, why they chose to sign this artist, what they have done prior”), for privacy reasons, newspapers cannot disclose all legal details, such as the type of contract I have with the artist. However, on the Wikipedia page, I have reported exactly what was published in the newspapers, nothing more, and all this information is truthful and verifiable by freely searching online for each piece of information.
- Thus, they cannot be considered “lies” or “churnalism,” as they are actual events. Carminenappi1986 (talk) 14:59, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Some new comments from previously uninvolved editors could make the result here more clear. The current walls of text are not helping in that regard.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 23:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. 1) Everyone in 2024 knows that Wikipedia doesn’t allow autobiography, original research, or Facebook style pages, that alone is reason to delete, but the gaslighting and sealioning is reason to salt this. 2) We routinely delete articles about producers of notable musical artists, because they’re run of the mill, and this guy’s client lists are a bunch of red links make him more so. 3) Churnalism is why we’re having a difficult time with sources that used to be reliable and have become deprecated, like Forbes. Bearian (talk) 13:33, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: 1. autobiography is allowed on Wikipedia, as the COI statement has been reported in my profile, as Wikipedia requires. 2. As for gaslighting, the news is reported by registered Italian newspapers (read the comments above) 3. The red links are from people for whom a page has not been created, but this does not imply the untruthfulness of the things written, indeed, if you read the comments above, we specify that those articles are official and registered in court in Italy Carminenappi1986 (talk) 14:58, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- I did a search on this person on the web to understand who he was and if what was reported on Wikipedia was really true, checking both the names of the artists and the things done, I verified that it is all true. For me we can keep it because, always checking on the web, the things written are true and the names written in red exist and are connected to him 79.37.55.87 (talk) 13:06, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I am not seeing concrete evidence of reliable intellectually independent coverage. There is considerable refbombing going on, and the concerns above about churnalism have not been adequately answered. I was unable to find sufficient sourcing when I looked. I would perhaps have been a weak delete, were this not an autobiography. Vanamonde93 (talk) 22:49, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE, no context for why this legal term is encyclopedic. Wikipedia is not purely a legal reference and this article just cites laws and legal decisions. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Law, Military, Social science, and Technology. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 18:19, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: topic does not seem notable at all outside of the legal documents. Noah 💬 18:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- KEEP: Of course it is notable - an offensive weapon may not be a term where you or the proposer are from, but it is a clearly defined element of law that has been around for decades. I have no idea why the proposer decided to find this article doesn't meet WP eligibility criteria after the article being around for 17 years, but this is notable enough that it does need its own article. Seeing as someone from the USA and the proposer, from the Philippines, has an issue with this, then perhaps the best course of action should be to create a page 'Offensive Weapon in English/Welsh Law' like we have for many UK policing or general criminal law related articles. Deleting it outright is unnecessary. Apeholder (talk) 20:02, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Nobody is saying Wikipedia should be purely a legal reference, but this legal term is ubiquitous in the law of some European countries and has a social impact, that it should be included. The article also does not "simply cite laws and legal decisions", Why not just add a 'needs expansion' tag to this page, so users can see why the article is there with a good lede perhaps? Why call for the deletion of it outright? Apeholder (talk) 20:06, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- WHY was it nominated for deletion? So far, most of its sources are WP:PRIMARY. This is insufficient to pass GNG, while failing INDISCRIMINATE as well. You have not offered up actual sources to disprove this assertion. Rather than being angry at the nominator, proving them indisputably wrong with reliable secondary sources is a better idea when it comes to saving an article. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 23:01, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
- Again, why didn't you add 'better sources needed' instead of nominating the article for deletion? Why not improve the article or at least tag it so it can be improved? Why not rename it as a specific article about English/Welsh law like we have already on WP? To delete it outright is a very strange request. Meanwhile, I have added 2 secondary sources to the article, so your deletion request should now be reconsidered Apeholder (talk) 16:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment the coverage of the term's usage in English law is wildly excessive under any title. Ignoring that content, this feels more like a disambiguation page between different definitions of the term rather than one specific concept. Maybe converting this to a DAB page? Walsh90210 (talk) 19:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
- Unless you can specify what requires disambiguation, this seems like a "let the search function do its job" sort of situation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:19, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep. The concept of an "offensive weapon" in law (and possession thereof) has been long examined in scholarly and legal literature, including in the following:
- As the above sources show, yes, there is scholarly and legal thought about this sort of thing, as well as the ethics of criminalizing the possession of such weapons. This clearly passes the WP:GNG, and I don't see it as indiscriminate for reason of the scholarly and legal questions that have been written about regarding both the definition of offensive weapons and laws that apply to their possession and use. I grant that this article focuses heavily on England and Wales, but that isn't really a reason alone to delete it when editing can fix this problem.
- — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:25, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. The topic is seen in various scholarly literature over the past two centuries at least. Several other 'non-legal' works of literature mention this term. ParvatPrakash (talk) 04:27, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Articles about companies must meet WP:NCORP requirements. This one clearly fails them.
1. [7] Puff piece by WP:TECHCRUNCH, an outlet infamous for its COI articles

I found this article that alleges that two celebrity investors used the software to "flirt with underage girls", but the article states that these are merely "rumors". At best, this source is unreliable, and at worst, it's a violation of WP: BLP and should not be added to the article. I also found a book called "Introduction to Omegle" by Gilad James, PhD. I thought that this source would be reliable, but the author's LinkedIn profile indicates that their PhD was obtained from a "distance learning institution". This, regrettably, makes the book an unreliable source. HyperAccelerated (talk) 05:35, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

- Neutral observation As seen on their userpage, the nominator is a student at Ole Miss themselves. I'm not saying there's any COI, but going by the article body having it mentioned two months later at the RNC disproves the nom's 'no lasting effect' statement, especially when the video mentioning it at the RNC and a congressperson support a racist gesture. I highly suggest the nominator withdraw this and have someone not involved with the school perform a new nomination instead. Nate • (chatter) 23:30, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep: I don't really see how WP:GNG is not satisfied when there are multiple articles with significantly more than WP:ROUTINE mentions in Nov. 2014, Dec. 2014, Jan. 2015 and in Apr. 2022. Unless these sources fail WP:RS, the fact that there is interest in knowing more about this player who had a very unremarkable career seven/eight years on from the notable event of when he was signed out of high school is IMO a notable indication of potential notability. Most players that retire before they turn 27 with (apparently) 0 games in the top two divisions don't get anything more than a one-liner as part of a broader list of retirees or a courtesy post on the club's website, so that he had a lengthy article & interview is what stands out most to me. Probably someone who speaks Japanese could locate better sources, as I imagine there is a reason why this player's retirement received this level of attention.

Delete or Redirect. The first is that he was a member of the Kenosha County Board of Commissioners. Local politicians are not automatically notable, nor are they not automatically not notable. Reasons a local politician could be notable are longevity in service (Robert L. Butler, Margaret Doud, or Hilmar Moore) or notable activity in office (Betty Loren-Maltese or Rita Crundwell), the latter of which is probably more a WP:CRIME who was also a politician. The second is his candidacies for Congress. I simply do not see the "historic significance" test being passed here given the last election was over ten years ago at this point.

- Delete. Fails GNG, and notability not inherited. RLP gives the name as Eric Bevan, and a search for this gives only a few results on Trove, the most detailed on which, from 1950, just notes that Brian's father used to play and which teams he played for. I am not sure how useful a redirect to the list of players would be as there are only three other links to the article – on Brian Bevan, where the name is already preceded by a link to the club, the families list where he appears next to the link to Brian, and on the Richard Bevan dab page where his inclusion does not seem particularly relevant.

This article is a stub about a defunct product and is very unlikely to expand meaningfully in the future. Additionally, existing sourcing on the topic is scant. I've done some research, and there doesn't appear to be much out there beyond the three secondary sources in the References section. On these grounds, I'm not sure the article clears Wikipedia's notability standards. I also don't think it makes sense to integrate the article's content into any other Dell articles, since the product is pretty minor in the grand scheme of the company's portfolio. My suggestion would be to delete and redirect to Dell Technologies. But I should note that I am a Dell employee with a clear conflict of interest, and so I shouldn't be making decisions about this article's fate.

While the product lacks independent significant coverage to merit a standalone article, there are reliable secondary sources that confirm that it exists (or at least, had existed).

BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:49, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Speedy keep. The nominator has unfortunately bitten off more than they can chew. No-one should start 20 AFDs in 30 hours, editors with a couple hundred edits under their belt even less so. In this case, most of the AFDs seem like ill-conceived drive-by nominations, and have largely been met with a massive keep response. In these particular AFDs, the nominator routinely disregards common deletion outcomes and guidelines, making imprecise nomination statements and disregarding that many of the criticisms can be solved through cleanup. In this biography, not only the politician part would lead to a keep outcome, but also the national academy part. Geschichte (talk) 20:58, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

The problem is Arabic is a difficult language for me to find pre-internet sources from.

Semi-advertorialized ("on his return he kissed his land and this attitude of his was welcomed by the people with great enthusiasm and love") WP:BLP of a musician not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by reliable sourcing -- but this essentially just claims that he exists, expresses his significance in terms of flowery fluff like the quote I highlighted above rather than quantifiable achievements, and is referenced solely to a single unreliable source rather than any WP:GNG-worthy coverage. And the interlangs to the Arabic and Kurdish Wikipedias also don't feature any other reliable sourcing that could be pulled over to salvage this: the Kurdish one cites only the same unreliable source, while the Arabic one cites one different primary source and one circular citation to the Kurdish Wikipedia, neither of which are valid support for notability either.
As I can't read the Arabic or Kurdish languages, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can read those languages is able to find sufficient GNG-worthy coverage to salvage this and neutralize the advertorialism, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced better than this.

The WP:BEFORE search I did only brought up commercial galleries and auction sites, which are primary connected sources that are non-independent. We would need more than that to establish notability.

- I have zero knowledge of Russian art, but he seems to be a legendary figure. A full-length feature film is obviously SIGCOV; then you have a book from 2022 on his life, dozens of book mentions, etc. According to the Russian Wikipedia some of his work is held by the Museum of Modern Art, the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University and other prestigious museums which would satisfy WP:NARTIST (

The article is poorly written - possibly machine translated from the mswiki article, with a number of longstanding issues that have not been fixed. In addition, my online WP:BEFORE searches showed no significant coverage of the topic in reliable sources - had the topic been notable, I would have expected some mention, somewhere on the Internet. Also, the references in the article seem to be tangential to the topic rather than directly pertinent, though I have not gone through them in exhaustive depth. See also this edit summary by Jdcooper, stating that, even after some tidying up on their part, the article is "still original research, lacking sources, possible WP:COPYVIO". I propose a Redirect to Silat, with the option of unredirecting in the future if a better referenced/written article were to come to light. SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:NOT policy (specifically WP:INDISCRIMINATE): This simply a collection of data. The list of ~3,000 items has no explanatory information and no claim that any of the entries are notable in themselves – if any are, then they can be discussed at NME. MIDI (talk) 15:49, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: I appreciate the two previous AfDs which were 11 and 15 years ago. Both AfDs ended with no consensus, although the second had discussion for little more than 24 hours. Most of the keep !votes in them seem to revolve around the overall topic of NME covers being notable, which may be the case, but that doesn't mean a list of the covers is – an article on NME covers discussing notable ones might be a valid article (if it's not better filling out NME#NME_covers), but this article is just indiscriminate information.

William Franks was a british landowner that helped in construction of Fitzrovia District, Percy Street, Rathbone Street and Charlotte Street. This article was marked for speedy deletion due to lack of importance in 2015 but was shortly unmarked to help the creator expand it.

- Comment this is one of those really tragic cases where we have a genuine nice little story that's of interest, but it's in the wrong place. This article is basically a nice bit of local history research, but relies very, very heavily on primary sources of information. It should be published somewhere. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia based on secondary sources, not a place to publish research. I don't want to say delete because I enjoyed reading it, but it really, really doesn't belong here. Elemimele (talk) 16:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete- Disagree with the keep vote. The deletion rationale is clearly that this is not notable. It does not meet GNG because there are no secondary sources. Perversely, contrary to the keep !vote, it looks like we are actually thinking of keeping it because of WP:ILIKEIT. Or rather, we like the original research done by the writer of the page. And yes, that is a nice collation of the information from primary sources. I hope that Philafrenzy has a copy, and would suggest that a userfied copy be made available to them if this is deleted. But it is not an encyclopaedic page. This is the wrong project for this information. A site that could make use of much of this information would be Family Search, which allows user content to provide referenced primary source information about people. See [36]. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)- If you look at this editor's other AfD nominations, the rationale is almost always essentially WP:IDONTLIKEIT, which is why most of them have been rejected out of hand. They have also stated that they nominate articles for AfD because it's "relaxing"! Comments like

- Okay, I see that there were indeed rather a lot of nominations in quick succession, and that tends to overwhelm the effort at AfD. I am striking my delete in favour of a procedural/speedy keep. This was discussed recently in another context, and is sometimes allowed. My hope is that this will be closed as keep or no consensus with no prejudice against a better argued renomination (although perhaps not by the same nom.). My thoughts are unchanged. We don't have any secondary sources here, and this is the wrong project for histories synthesised from primary sources, but if we are going to take them down, let's do it in a more careful manner. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While I understand the reasoning, I do not believe this qualifies for a speedy keep. The nomination mentions notability, and that is almost always the core argument in deletion discussions, and several comments indicate they don't think this should be an article even if they don't agree with the reasons presented in the nomination.

Weak keepRedirect - Recipients of high-level awards are generally considered notable, the question is whether the second rank of the Order of Karađorđe Star of Republika Srpska, which he appears to have received, passes that bar, or only the highest rank. If it doesn't pass, then redirect to Garda Panteri, the unit he commanded that was renamed in his honor after his death. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)- Comment IMHO, the Order of Karađorđe Star of Republika Srpska is a fourth level sub-national award, and in any case, this is a lower grade of the award. As far as RS awards are concerned, only the Order of the Republika Srpska (awarded to Ratko Mladić) and maybe the Order of Nemanjići which is specifically for prominent military actions, would even be close to meeting the "high-level awards" notability bar for soldiers.

non-notable person who created an article about themselves. 1keyhole (talk) 05:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Weak Keep The article has been expanded since creation, and Gilmanl's current authorship is around 3%, so I'm not too concerned there. Notability is the bigger concern. The coverage in The Christian Science Monitor is significant, reliable (see WP:CSMONITOR), secondary, and independent. Finding a second source is harder. Most other sources the article cites are not independent, unless the government [58] counts as independent. A Vox article [59] I found may have significant enough coverage, or it may not.

Fails WP:NPOL. A staff member at the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines does not count toward WP:NPOL Ibjaja055 (talk) 05:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep – Multiple secondary sources such as The Philippine Star, Daily Tribune and GMA News Online have covered this government official from the Office of the Vice President (OVP). The OVP's questionable use of confidential funds under VP Sara Duterte has been among the top issues discussed in Philippine politics this year, if not the topmost (alongside tensions in the South China Sea and the POGO menace), and much of the Philippine media has been extensively covering the hearings conducted on this matter by the House Committee on Good Government in the past few months ([62][63][64][65][66]).
- On November 5, Acosta was among the seven OVP officials who issued a position letter asking that the house congressional inquiry into their budget use be terminated ([67]), and by November 11 was among the four OVP officials ordered arrested based on a contempt citation issued by the committee for their non-attendance at the hearings ([68]). During the November 20 hearing, OVP chief of staff Zuleika T. Lopez and a branch manager of Land Bank of the Philippines gave testimonies that pinpointed Acosta as the OVP official who directly handled the confidential funds of the vice president ([69][70]). The varied independent coverage cited in this paragraph alone, in my view, merits notability for the article; further coverage in the media is also anticipated in the aftermath of the testimonies given in the Nov. 20 hearing.

This person is notable for one event which is on Sara Duterte's alleged corruption, so the best solution is to merge and redirect this with the article that discusses that, or if that doesn't exist, transform this BLP article to such an article.

- @Howard the Duck You took the words right out of my mouth: Acosta is not a politican. Though I concede to the fact that the person is largely notable for one event so far (i.e. Onel de Guzman, a private citizen who created the ILOVEYOU virus), numerous secondary sources have covered the person not just as a probable participant in Duterte's unusual confidential fund use from 2022 to 2023, but as a government official ordered to be arrested after she was cited in contempt for her continuous absence from house committee hearings in spite of two subpoenas ([71][72][73][74]).

- Will continue to give arguments on this matter soon, but I am posting here for reference (and maybe posterity) some stunning developments that just occurred within the past 24 hours in Philippine politics (1. VP Duterte refuses to leave the House of Rep. detention center holding her chief of staff Zuleika Lopez; 2. VP Duterte goes on a tirade against the House committee hearings and curses at President Marcos, his wife and House Speaker Romualdez, claiming to have already spoken with a contract killer to target them in the event she herself is assassinated; 3. VP Chief of Staff Zuleika Lopez faints from an anxiety attack at 3 a.m. and is brought from the detention center to a hospital; 4. Executive Sec. Lucas Bersamin deems VP Duterte's statements an "active threat" against the administration). LionFosset (talk) 06:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- All the more reason to merge and redirect as per my argument above. What's notable is what's happening, not her. Howard the Duck (talk) 00:43, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- I am considering moving the current article or redirecting this BLP to a new article entitled 2024 Philippine congressional hearings on Sara Duterte, or to Mary Grace Piattos scandal. This is similar with what the proponents in Talk:Alice Guo#Requested move 24 May 2024 on moving that article to "2023–2024 Bamban raids", only that it was overtaken by the fact that Guo had surely attained notability and deserves a biographical article, unlike this person, or the pawns of Sara Duterte, the Marcoses, Romualdezes and everyone else. Howard the Duck (talk) 01:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Howard the Duck: I would be amenable to this, actually. However, use the former title (with some tweaking), not the latter. "Mary Grace Piattos" is just one of the many details questioned in the confidential fund use by the OVP. LionFosset (talk) 03:57, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Acosta falls ill during the Nov. 25 budget hearing (and brought out of the premises to VMMC with VP Duterte in tow) after admitting that she disbursed the confidential funds to the VP Security Chief in 2022-2023 on Duterte's orders. She is the second VP aide to faint and be brought to VMMC after Lopez. Humorous note: The Akbayan Partylist memefied the Duterte-Acosta photo. LionFosset (talk) 18:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

- Will continue to give arguments on this matter soon, but I am posting here for reference (and maybe posterity) some stunning developments that just occurred within the past 24 hours in Philippine politics (1. VP Duterte refuses to leave the House of Rep. detention center holding her chief of staff Zuleika Lopez; 2. VP Duterte goes on a tirade against the House committee hearings and curses at President Marcos, his wife and House Speaker Romualdez, claiming to have already spoken with a contract killer to target them in the event she herself is assassinated; 3. VP Chief of Staff Zuleika Lopez faints from an anxiety attack at 3 a.m. and is brought from the detention center to a hospital; 4. Executive Sec. Lucas Bersamin deems VP Duterte's statements an "active threat" against the administration). LionFosset (talk) 06:28, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
- @LionFosset All the sources you provided do not count toward WP:GNG because they lack the WP:SIGCOV of the subject. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:48, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Howard the Duck You took the words right out of my mouth: Acosta is not a politican. Though I concede to the fact that the person is largely notable for one event so far (i.e. Onel de Guzman, a private citizen who created the ILOVEYOU virus), numerous secondary sources have covered the person not just as a probable participant in Duterte's unusual confidential fund use from 2022 to 2023, but as a government official ordered to be arrested after she was cited in contempt for her continuous absence from house committee hearings in spite of two subpoenas ([71][72][73][74]). LionFosset (talk) 17:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Howard the Duck That's an insightful suggestion. Ibjaja055 (talk) 16:10, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm leaning towards a merge and redirect. She only got significant coverage because of the current issue with Sara Duterte. But on her own, there might not be much justification to have a separate article about her. ---Tito Pao (talk) 02:44, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

The reception section is a mess of listicles and "anything not nailed down" types of articles. While there can be some degree of commentary gleamed for Yoshimitsu, it's brief and often repetitive. Even checking sources I've used in the past for Soulcalibur characters doesn't offer much at all. There's just no meat on this bone that I can find. Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games. Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:13, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Honestly, I'm leaning forward to being neutral in this situation. I feel like there's a chance the character might be notable since they have been involved in two fighting game franchises and have almost appeared in every main game of each franchise and gone through multiple distinct designs. Otherwise, the best source I could find about Yoshimitsu is [75]. These sources might also help [76], [77], [78], [79], and [80]. Aside from that, this character has three incarnations throughout the Tekken and Soulcalibur franchises, so if the character information is going to be merged, then the Tekken version of Yoshimitsu should be merged in Characters of the Tekken series, and the Soulcalibur version of Yoshimitsu should be merged in Characters of the Soulcalibur series. Kazama16 (talk) 07:32, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- The Den of Geek one is the strongest source coupled with Jasper's commentary on the Tekken character ranking list. The main problem though is that the Game Rant and CGMag refs are echoes of some of the commentary from that one on the designs and could be summed up as "his appearance changes frequently", PushSquare is basically death battle commentary in this case, and The Gamer and 3DPrint refs are both about fan works (I checked to see if the designer on the latter had some notability that could help but no dice). I feel there may not be enough actually said for SIGCOV when the sources are lined up is my concern.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 08:14, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect Just not notable. The WP:GNG is clearly failed here. If this page is redirected, it should be moved and the DAB made primary. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:30, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Merge per others. Very little SIGCOV and a very clear-cut case of not much notability existing for him. I'd redirect Yoshimitsu (Soulcalibur) and Yoshimitsu (Tekken) to their respective character lists, since he's a character of two different franchises, and redirect Yoshimitsu (No distinction) to the DAB page to be the primary topic, per Zx. Both lists just redirect to his article, so content will need to be merged to them for the information to be retained. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:48, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: Per Kazama16's sources. Den of Geek (both of them) and CGmagonline are the strongest sources. Those two, plus GamesRadar and Bloody Disgusting and Game Rant, which all discuss his design and unorthodox fighting style, compared to other fighting game characters, may also be of some help. The more trivial sources can definitely be trimmed down, but overall, I feel this isn't redirect-worthy. I can see this being a Voldo type of situation, where most of the notability comes from his "freakish" design and unorthodox fighting style. MoonJet (talk) 22:32, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- Isolated, the Bloody Disgusting source would be good...but it's just saying the same thing as the CMag and previous Game Rant sources. Much like there's only so many times you can say "this character is sexy" in an article, "this character is freaky" starts to get repetitive fast.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:45, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

- Comment. We certainly don't have to accept this because it is just an essay, but Wikipedia:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Notability (beauty pageant participants) states that national pageant winners in the big four pageants (of which Miss Universe is one) are generally presumed to be notable. Meaning that its likely WP:SIGCOV exists. Given the year she won, it is possible the coverage was more offline than online as it was in the weird time period where everything hadn't yet shifted over even though the internet was up and running.

- Draftify A young sportsperson with decent coverage that is probably not enough to meet WP:GNG. However, the Autosport piece has about a dozen sentences of independent coverage of the subject, and other articles have some bits as well, indicating that WP:SPORTBASIC is met.

Alexander Tuschinski has a penchant for writing articles about his family. First came the autobiography, then great-grandpa Demeter Ritter von Tuschinski, then grandpa Constantin Ritter von Tuschinski, and now papa Paul Tuschinski. I have my doubts about all of these, but this latest iteration of Tuschinski fandom really is a bridge too far. He was a minor academic with a handful of publications who never even managed to become a professor. He apparently helped his son hold the camera while the latter was shooting his film, a dubious claim to notability. Half the sources are links to his meager output, the other half a smattering of random trivia. Per WP:PROF, there is no reason to keep. — Biruitorul Talk 09:15, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for your feedback. The articles I write rely on many sources, I aim for a neutral, encyclopedic tone, and I am transparent who I am. Therefore, to me, the usage of terms like "fandom" in your critique appears inappropriate and unwarranted, and I respectfully ask to discuss the articles, their specific merits and potential issues in a more neutral tone, independently of who the author is. I write about my ancestors because I do know about them - I aim to write articles in a neutral style and fashion, in a way as if I were not related. Since I am related, I take particular care to use as neutral a language as possible, and only quote named sources.
- Of course, I welcome a discussion if this article on Paul Tuschinski is eligible for inclusion in Wikipedia, no matter the result. To address concerns: "He apparently helped his son hold the camera" is not what the sources say or what I wrote in the article. In several interviews, I credited his importance on my early works in numerous facets - the IMDB listing of his credits is incomplete. The listed academic publications in Romania are an excerpt (ones I could locate quickly), in the next months, I do plan to research more of his 1970s/80s academic publications. Given the difficult political climate in Romania during that era for academics, your remark "who never even managed to become a professor" isn't a wording I would personally use - if professorship is an objective criteria required for eligibility regardless of country and era, I do understand the concern, though again, I respectfully ask for a more neutral wording in discussing.
- You briefly express having "doubts" about the articles on Constantin and Demeter. While this is not the place to discuss other articles, particularly those articles took several months to compile from online and archival research, naming many sources that are linked, and I am convinced they add important facets of Austrian-Hungarian and Romanian history to Wikipedia - which several historians have attested to me, as well. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss those doubts if you like. Best wishes. ATuschinski (talk) 14:53, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

- Comment I don't actually have a problem with the subject-matter, because an overview of interesting wedding customs is very much an encyclopedic subject, and easily sourced. It is indeed unwieldy if each section becomes too detailed, but it can always have "Main article..." links to longer articles. But the current title is fundamentally wrong. It should be Wedding customs by culture or something like that. Taking one small country, that's part of a larger unit, namely "England", we have large communities who've lived here for generations but whose culture traces back to something else, and whose weddings have more in common with an Indian wedding (for example) than a horse-and-carriage pretty village church archetypical "English" wedding, and yet these people are as much part of England as I am and their customs are now as much a valid part of English life as mine. If the article must do it by country, it will certainly be way too unwieldy, because the "England" section alone will have to address almost every wedding custom seen in the world. Elemimele (talk) 12:51, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- then it would still be better to delete and make a new article based on existing wedding customs-related articles; it would be better sourcesDrew Stanley (talk) 19:12, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep -- the broader topic and grouping is clearly covered by cultural scholars--not just individually but as a comparative study between countries. While I understand OP's concerns, I don't actually believe this article is so bad we need to WP:TNT it. And for better or worse, when it comes to a lot of these cultures where we won't have the manpower to put together an entire article about their wedding culture, "by country" serves as a useful base divider.

- Keep -Rework the format. As is, this is a bit of a mess that is duplicating what is already out there elsewhere. Here's a solution: keep a lead introduction paragraph, and sort the rest into an orderly list. Set up a table format similar to Women in Guam History. The left-hand first column would link a country main article. Next to the column on the far right, no more than a sentence or two about each item . Use the far right-hand column for any reference.

Appears to fail WP:GNG: no English-language sources seem to mention this tribe or emirate at all, much less any indication of significance. At least some of the cited sources do not appear reliable, such as this webpage with no clear scholarly credentials, or the vague citations to an online transcription of Ibn Khaldun ([97]), a primary source. Much of the article is also poorly cited and may include WP:OR. If there's some alternate spelling of the name that yields accessible and reliable sources, you can mention it here; I've tried to search for a few other alternatives and still found nothing.

The only other mention I can find is here [98]https://www.odt.co.nz/southland/bit-more-help-needed-popular-fiordland-trail , and that's not really significant coverage either, and might be a re-publication of one of the Southland Times articles; I just don't think there's enough there for a whole article. I think the current content could be turned into a couple of extra sentences on the Manapouri and/or Te Anau articles at best. JeffUK 11:16, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Replace with alternative article The content in the existing article is unsourced and I cannot find adequate sources to back it up.

- Comment @MoviesandTelevisionFan: One nomination, even for a notable award, isn't enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. The Movie stunt men at Hardy Bridge article doesn't have a whole lot of information that could be extracted for encyclopedic purposes: He coordinated a stunts squad for Paramount's The Untouchables, he is (or was) affiliated with Stunts Unlimited (but not the action film), and he has a son. That's not nothing, but it's also not particularly in-depth coverage. Regardless, three sources is usually a good minimum. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke • inspect) 07:23, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment The award still brings notable significance and Primetime Emmy Awards is a notable award nomination/win. The two articles still both meets WP:GNG and there are information that can be added to the article. Movie stunt men at Hardy Bridge has notable information that can be added like before he became a stunt performer/coordinator, he was previously a race car driver. Hymes coordinated a stunts squad for Paramount's The Untouchables and he also has a child is still notable information that can be added. Also the Los Angeles Times Article, [107]Just call him 'The Publisher' has notable information that can be added like the films/credits he appeared on and stunt performed on, is a former champion motorcycle and auto racer and his work/issues related to The Publisher is still notable information that can be added. Both sources are still WP:SIGCOV which it states, "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material". Both sources are in-depth coverage and it has notable and significant information about Hymes that can be added to the article. MoviesandTelevisionFan (talk) 01:57, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Why does this need its own article, given that it's just an internal House policy and not an actual law? Essentially all of this information is already covered at Nancy Mace and Sarah McBride. Partofthemachine (talk) 05:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Transphobia in the US House of Representatives - Both of the BLP articles mentioned in the nomination are BLPs, which should be limited to their BLP parts. Whereas this article is broader about the overall Transphobia in the US House of Representatives since the election of Sarah McBride. Documenting this in this separate articles, so that people looking for it don't need to go to separate BLPs, especially since the current article also now already discusses even more such are Marjorie Taylor Greene's and others' follow-up, so now it would be even more split doesn't make sense. So per my comment at the RM discussion, renaming the article to cover the broad scope that it already does is the appropriate action, not deletion, as these transphobic actions in the House are well documented by reliable sources. Raladic (talk) 06:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep This article is about two proposed House bills in the 118th Congress. The House bathroom bill was made law as a House policy by the Speaker. The broader all federal-facilities transphobic Women-only space is pending. "Transphobia in the US House of Representatives" is an apt designation since the broader bill is being legislated in the House. These bills are much more in-your-face and unapologetically transphobic than vanilla transphobic bills like PROTECT Kids Act in the 118th Congress. There has been a concerted effort by Nancy Mace, MTG, Elon Musk, Megyn Kelly, Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their supporters to slap and publicly humiliate Sarah McBride personally.Arbeiten8 (talk) 09:04, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

- I did my research and read the previous AfD as well. The issues raised in the previous AfD were addressed. I do not think it is right to say sources are PR. For instance, the source with https://aec.afdb.org/ is from African Economic Conference (the equivalent of World Economic Conference in Africa) of African Development Bank (the equivalent of World Bank in Africa). My judgement is that an institution of this nature cannot be regarded as PR Source. Again, from my research, one of the sources TimesKuwait has been in the media space since 1996 and another The African Times have been around since 1989. These are independent sources in their own right. Another source - https://aviationbusinessjournal.aero/ is an influential aviation magazine. Since the subject is a top airline business executive, the rest sources are travel and aviation magazines including one that is associated with Havard. So I think the claim questioning the reliability of the sources is wrong. Again, compare the first article and this article and you will see that all issues violated by the first editor were fixed in this new article. The subject is a notable african airline executive in Africa and North America and I think it should stay with subsequent improvements as with all wikipedia articles. Cheers ! Astra Los Angeles (talk) 08:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Well, it's not a puffy as last time, but the "group vice president for customer experience" is very much a mid-level business executive, just above the rank and file. Sourcing now is largely from trade magazines, so nothing has changed since last time. Still a !delete. Oaktree b (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The VP is not a mid-level executive. See this [108] Further research here [109] also shows that there are C, V, D and B level executives and the only category rated as mid level executives here are the B level [110]. VPs fall under the V-suite that are rated senior executives and their roles or level of power depends on the organization and the country. Let's refer to the company itself. The GVP is included in Ethiopian Airlines senior level leadership team as captured here [111] but debating whether VP is a notable position or not is not the main crux and we have to refer to the Wikipedia guidelines on notability here Wikipedia:Notability (people) to consider whether the subject meets the notability criteria. First, the sources are independent and sources like the African Development Bank and the African Business Club of Harvard Business School [112] both mentioned the subject's receipt of US Presidential Lifetime Award which recognizes his contributions. Ethiopian Airline is Africa's largest airline and the subject was its face in North America for two years. Even though the VP is a notable position, the subject is not listed here because he is a VP. He is listed here because he is covered by several independent sources (especially in the african aviation industry where he belongs), the role he played in the airline industry during the COVID pandemic as MD in Canada (that earned him the NCBN Business person of the year award in 2021) and the significant award he bagged in the U.S IN 2023 as contained in the sources. When you look at the profiles of many CEOs on wikipedia including the current CEO of ethiopian airlines, that of this subject has more weight. You can be an ordinary classroom teacher and do big things. In the african aviation industry, the subject has earned it.

WP:BEFORE reveals effectively nothing before being promoted to CEO in October 2024 (the lone exception being one 2023 press release, which does not contribute to notability). It also reveals nothing afterward. Joyner was therefore covered for a single day, and that was only in the singular context of a few national news articles which give extremely minimal coverage to Joyner himself.

- Keep The argument this comment presents for deletion is deeply flawed. It is grounded specifically in the idea that executive positions are transient by nature. But of course, that also applies to all public officials and public offices, elected officials and people in society who exert influence. By their nature, politicians come and go, but the communities they represent remain. The logical implications of this 'appeal to transience' argument then, are that every Wiki page related to specific politicians should be deleted, politicians also being transient office bearers. This is not an advisable precedent to set. 77.103.87.249 (talk) 18:53, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

- Keep.:1. Public Interest and Notability
As the CEO of CVS Health, a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest healthcare organizations in the United States, Joyner is a figure of significant public interest. Leadership in a company that directly impacts millions through its healthcare services and retail operations qualifies for notability under Wikipedia's guidelines for biographies of living persons. 2. Corporate Leadership and Influence CVS Health plays a critical role in the healthcare industry, especially in pharmacy services, retail healthcare, and health insurance through Aetna. The decisions made under Joyner's leadership have far-reaching impacts on healthcare policies and public health. 3. Documenting Professional Contributions If Joyner has implemented innovative strategies, expanded access to healthcare, or spearheaded notable initiatives, these contributions deserve to be documented for public knowledge and historical context. 4. Precedent for Similar Profiles Wikipedia hosts profiles for CEOs of other major corporations, establishing a precedent. Deleting Joyner's page would diverge from this practice unless specific criteria for deletion are met. 5. Educational Value The page provides information about leadership in the corporate world and insights into how executives shape industries. This could be valuable to students, researchers, and professionals in related fields. 6. Transparency and Accountability Public documentation of corporate leaders fosters transparency, allowing people to better understand who is influencing large-scale healthcare decisions.

I also find that anon 77.103.87.249 relates the importance of wikipedia being an unbiased "middleman" resource, but I think that those who are accusing others of some conspiracy should temper their expectations. The article is lacking and it is good to keep wikipedia uncensored and impartial, but we should not jump to conclusions (à la what JPxG has said). Chrisblammo123 (talk) 20:40, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- Merge with CVS Health. Just being a businessperson does not necessarily qualify you as notable, as others have said, and the coverage in the article's sources does not appear to be as in-depth as I think would make him notable enough for his own article. If he becomes more noteworthy in the future, the article can always be restored. Archimedes157 (talk) 20:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Go back to the article as it was when it was nominated (Special:PermanentLink/1261253554); it only had 3 sentences.

- Keep. Despite the proposer's comments, Joyner does have substantial media coverage—more so than much created from here, for instance. It is also likely that he will gain more coverage in the future, given his position; while this is not a reason to keep, it is a reason not to delete where there is already a fair number of sources on him. He is also talked about in a manner distinct from personifying CVS; thus, unlike Archimedes157's proposal, his biography should not be merged with the article on the company. TE(æ)A,ea.

- Weak keep. This is not as clear cut as some people seem to think and some of the conspiracy theorists are definitely showing their arses here. Nonetheless, I do think it is just about over the line for notability. The nomination seems to be rooted in WP:BLP1E but his appointment as CEO and his fractious testimony before a House committee are two separate and significant things. The Aetna thing doesn't add much but, even so, BLP2E, or rather the lack of it, applies. That said, I'd also like to defend the nominator from undue aspersions. The version that was nominated was much less complete than what we have now and it certainly did look extremely deletable. I could easily have made the same mistaken decision myself. (Full disclosure: I became aware of this AfD when I saw people talking about it on Bluesky and thought I should find out what was really going on.) --DanielRigal (talk) 01:38, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- A lot of people keep bringing up BLP1E, but I don't think it really applies here. They're notable for being CEO, which is hardly a single event. William M. Brown has an article, despite not being notable before becoming CEO of 3M, nor was Stephen Squeri before becoming CEO of American Express, nor was Jonathan Brash before becoming an MP. Being the holder of the office is the thing that makes them notable. –DMartin 02:21, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - I have no way to speculate on the nominator's motivation, but in my opinion the article (as of the time I'm writing this) is more than sufficient to keep. Not entirely sure if WP:Speedy keep is relevant here, but at this point the results of this discussion appear to be leaning in a WP:SNOW direction.Andrew11374265 (talk) 02:01, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - The original argument made for deletion falls apart even with just the article in its current state. I understand that often with faceless businesspeople it can be difficult to ascribe them notability when the only outlets that describe them do so in the same manner with little basis for even a short biography, but evidently this is not the case with Joyner. His heading of the company has intersected him into the realm of politics, in which he has been specifically named by a congressperson as described in the current revision. He has multiple points of notability for different reasons, and the sources listed above only serve as an addition to what that biography could look like. Rman41 (talk) 02:15, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- This article should not be deleted, as it violates no policy and contains no reason for deletion. The only presumable reason I could find would be that Joyner doesn't want the article (and his job) to be public knowledge, and, as the Biographies of Living Persons page clearly states: "In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it."Emphasis on the last sentence after the dash. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.225.71 (talk) 02:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Tagged as unsourced since 2022; there's a GNIS external link but this place name has apparently been purged from GNIS. This isn't an "unincorporated community", this was a village of the Powhatan confederacy, situated in 1608 on Chickahominy r. in New Kent co., Va. per this. This states that it was the closest out of a set of villages to the James River.
I can find nothing that provides further details. While I am sympathetic to the notability of extinct native settlements, the sum source of knowledge of this source is that somebody wrote in 1608 that this place existed. This would be WP:UNDUE weight to mention at the Powhatan article. Any further sourcing would be from 400+ years ago in an extinct language and almost certainly no longer exists. There's just nothing to say about this place other than that it existed in 1608, and I don't think that's sufficient basis for an article. Hog Farm Talk 02:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Unsourced since creation in 2006. This is on the USGS topos and surely exists, but I can't find any coverage that would indicate a WP:GEOLAND or WP:GNG pass.

Newspapers.com has Claytonville Farm as a historic home/garden open for tour, but the other results in VA papers are for sites elsewhere and a description of the plot of a high school play put on in the late 1930s.

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. ✗plicit 03:37, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:NSONG, the single did not charted nor received significant coverage in reliable sources. Nothing significant found in my WP:BEFORE. The Rockol ref is pointless. The other two sources' coverage amount to L’EP “SARAH“ conterrà, inoltre, la versione live di Voilà ('The ‘SARAH’ EP will also contain the live version of Voilà') and L’ultima volta è un singolo di Sarah Toscano contenuto nell’ep Sarah. ('L'ultima volta is a single by Sarah Toscano contained in the EP Sarah.') Also, the Cliccando News website is of questionable reliability and its article seems AI-generated.

The previous discussion was closed for soft deletion, however, the reason it was restored was due to the previous nominator being a sock of a banned user. While being an NPP, I stumbled upon this article. Sadly, a quick search revealed little that would contribute to notability. Hence, I think it should be deleted.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Ineligible for soft deletion.

- Delete. I would say this lacks in-depth WP:SIGCOV in terms of its sources. The sources it does use mostly originate from the same publication, which as you've mentioned have an author related to the label, making them unreliable.--Tgvarrt (talk) 21:25, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
