No independent sources establishing the notoriety of the journal. Perfektsionist (talk) 22:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academic journals-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 22:07, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy keep: According to MIAR included in several highly selective databases. Clearly meets WP:NJournals. Article is too brief and fails to show notability clearly (although having an impact factor, even from 2012, should have been a warning sign), but that's not a reason to delete. Failure of WP:BEFORE. --Randykitty (talk) 22:19, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- The journal being "included in several highly selective databases" only indicates that it exists. What significant coverage from reliable and independent sources do the databases bring? Perfektsionist (talk) 22:29, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Read the discussions on the talk page of WP:NJournals. Several of these databases (mainly Scopus and the Journal Citation Reports) provide detailed analyses of citation patterns indicating the impact that a journal has. Inclusion in such databases has been taken as evidence of notability for well over 10 years now. I recommend you withdraw this AfD, as I can confidently predict that it'll go nowhere and is basically a waste of good editing time. --Randykitty (talk) 23:39, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

This person is not notable, and the source is not enough to show a hyper local politician is notable. Barnard was Township supervisor in a township that was on the verge of large scale growth and had seen some of its area annexed by the city immediately to its south. This was Troy, Michigan and Royal Oak, Michigan, but the year was 1956. The article seems to indicate Barnard did not hold a position in the new city government, or at least not mayor. He was later a probate judge, but that is not the level of judge, a county level judge dealing with estates and the lke, that is notable. Generally only appelate level judges at the state level are considered default notable. In 1960 Troy, Nichigan had a population of just under 20,000, being some raised well under a mile from the city boundary of Troy in the larger by population city of Sterling Heights, Michigan, and having read extensively on the history of Detroit, where I now live and work, and of metro-Detroit, it is clear that in 1956 Troy Township had a smaller population than Troy did in 1960. We are talking about actions in a place with under 20,000 people that was even then clearly within the Detroit Metro Area. There may be township supervisors that are notable, but we would need much more entensive coverage to show that. This article also suffers from about a third of it really being coatracking the history of the house Barnard lived in onto this article. If his house is notable, we should have an article on it, not coatrack the information onto a non-notable hyper local politician. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Subject does not meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. It is sourced entirely to press statements. A BEFORE search brings up more press statements. Princess of Ara 20:35, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Keep : I have read both the WP:GNG and the WP:NPOL most especially. There’s no default reason why article should be deleted because the subject passes all. WP:NPOL never said anything about press statement meanwhile as a politician things like that are expected and they are even said on notable reliable sources and also he is the special assistance to the Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa but that doesn’t guarantee him notable according to WP:NPOL last statement but he passes all in WP:GNG and WP:NPOL. I was unable to write more because that’s all I know about him. --Gabriel601 (talk) 22:35, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- You may have read the policy pages like you claim but I don’t think you understand them because WP:GNG says a subject is considered notable if they have had significant coverage in multiple reliable sources which are independent of the subject. Press statements are neither independent nor reliable and cannot be used to assert notability. Also, NPOL requires an elected statewide office. Being Okowa’s aide is not a claim to WP:NPOL. I encourage you to read the policy pages again for better understanding. Lastly, Wikipedia is not a repository of stuff you know about a subject but about what is documented in reliable sources. I think you should see this for better understanding. Regards

- “Press statements are neither independent nor reliable and cannot be used to assert notability.” No such statement was said at WP:GNG. Secondly I’m not a newcomer as you referred me for a better understanding. Have been here 5 years but not active, you have been here 10 months with nice articles created which is nice. Compliments to your contribution and happy Sunday. I might not be responding to your next reply due to my offline activities, I leave this section to other contributors --Gabriel601 (talk) 11:54, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Wikipedia is very clear about her requirements for a notable politician. You should be elected into an office, not appointment. To be a notable entrepreneur, my interpretation of the standard is even higher. I can't see any evidence that demonstrate the subject passes any of both, which implies failing WP:GNG.HandsomeBoy (talk) 13:27, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Update: Noticed the subject has a statewide appointment, which can be interpreted as meeting one of the criteria for NPOL. However, in practice, we don't automatically deem special assistants to governors in all countries as automatically notable, Wikipedia will be a mess if that was the case as most statewide special assistants have little or no reliable sources covering them (as the case in Nigeria). If you can establish that "Office of Special Assistant, Information, Culture and Tourism to Delta State Government" is a consistent and reputable office, I might change my !vote.HandsomeBoy (talk) 13:37, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @HandsomeBoy, there has been a consensus at AfD that state commissioners (who have a more established office) do not meet NPOL so their notability is assessed by GNG. I think the same should apply to special assistants. Princess of Ara 15:21, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- That is a logical consensus that I definitely support when contextualized. HandsomeBoy (talk) 18:19, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Keep : Subject is notable from Google search but needs enough improvement such as citations.--Tcgchv (talk) 15:40, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- @Tcgchv, subjects are only notable by evidence of significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and not by google hits. Princess of Ara 17:40, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
Delete! Nothing looks notable here or satisfies Wikipedia's GNG or NPOL criteria, the only position he holds is the "Special Assistant" and this is a common appointment in Nigeria, many governors have hundreds of them. Governor DanKwanbo's 229 Special Assistants, Special Advisers Taraba State, Governor Ben Ayade's Special Advisers, Obaseki Appoints 72 other aides. User:Em-mustapha talk 03:04, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Comment, would it be appropriate to turn this into a disambiguation page referring to both the target authors? It's quite likely a reader would search using the pseudonym, and ought to be directed to somewhere useful. Elemimele (talk) 21:54, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Elemimele - Yes, that is ideal. Also is a WP:ATD. Missvain (talk) 05:30, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- No per WP:ONEOTHER (if there are only two topics on a disambiguation page, then we shouldn't have it), except perhaps under the exception of WP:NOPRIMARY (i.e. if there is no primary topic). Even if there are three or four topics, this is kind of a borderline case, but we should definitely have a dab page if there are >5. Also, this shouldn't be an article proper unless "Clare Richmond" has some kind of magical notable property apart from the two people who've used it, but I don't see any so far. Furthermore, a quick DuckDuckGo search reveals a bunch of other people also called Clare Richmond, making this even more ambiguous than it seems onwiki.
- From pageview statistics, we find that Louise Titchener gets more pageviews than Carolyn Males, so weak delete and redirect to Louise Titchener with a hatnote linking to Carolyn Males. (I'll change my !vote accordingly if this title turns out to be a richer topic than I initially thought.) Duckmather (talk) 05:43, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment, I had considered whether a DAB could be here instead, but then that would imply someone searching for the term actually wanted to know about one or both of the real authors, rather than the pseudonym. For me, a pseudonym would have to be notable in its own right and I am not seeing that to justify an independent article. A redirect isn't really viable when there are two competing targets. I can't see sufficient evidence this passes WP:NAUTHOR. Bungle (talk • contribs) 09:14, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment "Clare Richmond" can be an independently notable author without having to be a single real person. See, for example, James S. A. Corey. The question is just whether "Clare Richmond" passes WP:NAUTHOR. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 07:35, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- We're doomed, this is quite a difficult one to decide. (1) In this particular case, I don't think it's helpful to discuss the notability of the author and the pseudonym separately. In both cases, the pseudonym applies to a significant proportion of the author's output, so the notability of the author and their pseudonym are based on the same material. If one's notable, the other is. (2) We don't know which name our readers are using; they may know the pseudonym and want to know who's behind it, so we have to have some way to link pseudonym to article. But (3) In this case, both authors used the pseudonym together, collaboratively. This means we can't say Titchener is better known than Males, as "Richmond" because we're talking about the same Richmond and the same novels. To be honest, I think they're borderline anyway (they've both got decent output, they're decent-sized fish, but in an enormous pond, and a pond that is quite ephemeral), so I'm not keen on a whole article on their collaborative pseudonym as well as on the two authors separately, and yet we can't really combine the two authors in one article as they also wrote independently. So practically, if you don't want a DAB because there are only two targets, the best would be to redirect to one of the two authors at random, and then decide whether to use hatnotes to refer to the other, or whether to emphasise in the article text that the Richmond name was used with the other, linked author. Elemimele (talk) 10:19, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
Keep:it provides useful information for the reader who finds a book, or a reference to it, by "Clare Richmond". I have expanded it with content from the two authors' pages, which could presumably be properly sourced if those pages are themselves properly sourced. An alternative would be to direct to one, randomly chosen, of the authors, with a hatnote "Clare Richmond redirects here: for the other author writing under this join pseudonym see ...", but that seems overly cumbersome (especially as they both collaborated with other authors too, so a complete set of redirects would be a mess). Simplest just to keep this mini article, which is informative for the readers. WP:IAR if need be: just help the reader. PamD 10:47, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- I disagree. I think using WP:IAR is a bit of a cop-out in a discussion for which there is no policy-based argument to use in defense. The fact is, each of the real authors in question that used this pseudonym also used other pen names too, as very clearly stated on their articles. Are we to have a standalone article for each of these too, because if we keep this one, then surely that has to happen? There may be a case to have one central article that links the authors together (say Pseudonyms of Louise Titchener and Carolyn Males), then redirect all the pseudonyms to that (although could get messy if other authors used the pen names too). I simply cannot see a need for standalone articles for a pretend author that does not seem to have independent notability. Bungle (talk • contribs) 10:34, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Keep: I see no reason not to follow PamD's argument for WP:IAR in this case. Redirecting to one author or the other adds confusion, not clarity. -- asilvering (talk) 02:26, 31 December 2021 (UTC)Delete as below. I still think redirects will just cause a mess. -- asilvering (talk) 13:55, 8 January 2022 (UTC)- Disambiguate The pseudonym itself obviously isn't notable, and there is no primary topic (pageviews do not necessarily correspond to primary topic), so a disambiguation page makes the most sense. Mlb96 (talk) 01:24, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Delete, does not meet WP:NAUTHOR, gsearches under ""Clare Richmond" book reviews", and for each book ""[book title]" by "Clare Richmond" book reviews" bring up zero reviews, which may not be surprising given that there have been 20,000+(?) harlequin titles published, as for needing a redirect/disamb for wikireaders, once this is deleted and Clare Richmond is entered wikireaders can "search for pages containing Clare Richmond" and hey presto! the two authors that use this pseudonym will be at the top of the list, ps. i note that both author wikiarticles presently have all the books listed, possibly just need to add mention of the other author ie. "As Clare Richmond with ...." and the titles' isbn but that is all. Coolabahapple (talk) 15:53, 1 January 2022 (UTC)- @Coolabahapple Works for me.

- A problem with "delete redirect and rely on search" is that it stops working once we have a new article on another Clare Richmond, a singer or astronomer or politician. I'm beginning to think that a List of shared pseudonyms would be useful, to which to redirect this and similar cases. Maybe something like that already exists: will check further when not on phone. PamD 14:39, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Redirect to List of pen names, to which I have now added her. PamD 16:11, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment @Bungle: Alyssa Howard is similar to this article; Clare Richards is a dab page, which complicates things slightly: have added both those names to List of pen names. PamD 16:20, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- A redirect wouldn't be a bad outcome I guess, though I won't advocate it. There are many pen names on that article without articles or redirects, although I can't argue against redirects being relatively harmless. I'd suggest whatever the outcome of this AfD should apply to Alyssa Howard et al where independent notability cannot be ascertained and demonstrated. Bungle (talk • contribs) 16:23, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- I think a redirect would be an ideal outcome, tagged with {{R to list entry}} and categorised as Category:Collective pseudonyms. Whyever not? It helps the reader. We could add a source to the list entry to verify, but the convention there seems to be not to add sources. PamD 16:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Note: Tess Marlowe, another of this gang's pseudonyms, was deleted at AfD in 2015 with rationale "One of these articles that is basically one line saying that it was a name used by 2 writers but nothing to back it up" but I've now added her to List of pen names and created a redirect. PamD 17:00, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- And I have created list entries at List of pen names and redirects or dab page entries, for all the other pseudonyms used by these women and their coauthors (well, all those I could find). Seem the ideal solution: not a standalone article, but a redirect to an informative entry in a list that includes links to the real authors involved. The reader gets their information. The perfect WP:ATD for a case like this - will try and remember it for any future instance. PamD 18:48, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- @PamD Hard to believe it took three AfD relists for anyone to realize this solution exists. This redirect sounds fine, unless there's some mechanical reason that makes this unhelpful for mobile users? A List of shared pen names might be an interesting list to make, too, if you've a mind to do it. Given that List of pen names exists I'm actually a bit surprised that it doesn't. I suppose it could present an annoying problem where someone adds something to List of pen names but not the other one? -- asilvering (talk) 22:03, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Evidence in support of Notability:
- Kaliprasadh is a published Tamil author, his books are published by Yaavarum Publishers and Natrinai who have hundreds of titles. Prior to that, his work has been published in leading online Journals (Vallinam, Solvanam). The publisher held critical review discussions in Chennai in December 2021, where notable authors like Akaramuthalvan attended and presented on Kaliprasadh's works. Kaliprasadh is one of the invitee guests of honor at Vishnupuram Vizha 2021 which is being attended by former Indian Union minister Jairam Ramesh
- Evidence in support of Sources: The sources provided in the Wikipedia article include Ananda Vikatan.com (which is a well-known magazine in Tamil with 100-year history), Dinamani (Tamil's leading newspaper). Other sources include websites of authors Jeyamohan and S Ramakrishnan who are themselves highly notable as leading authors in Tamil literary sphere.
- One of the Wikipedia admins has deleted external link YouTube videos which are direct evidences of a critical review about literary work. They have done so without even considering if the link was Relevant, Unique resource as per Wikipedia guidelines. This is a highly suspect circular logic in applying Wikipedia rules and guidelines
- It is obvious that the AfD has been placed without even a basic awareness of what is notable or not in Tamil literary sphere. I submit that the AfD be removed

___________
Wikipedia's policies.. under WP:CREATIVE
1) The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors:
a) Sahitya Akademi Award winner S Ramakrishnan on Kaliprasad
b) Sahitya Akademi award winner Nanjil Nadan has written introduction to Kaliprasad's collection of stories.
more link
c) interviews in media covering tamil literature - here and here
d) he was one of the guest speakers in the Kumaraguruparan Award 2018
While this alone is enough to establish notability, lets look at one more policy requirement under WP:CREATIVE
2) The person's work (or works) has: won significant critical attention
a) [Sahitya Academy Winner S Ramakrishnan selected Kali Prasad's work among the best works of 2019.
b) Review in Vikatan, leading tamil weekly
c) Reiew in The Hindu (Tamil)
d) Review in Dinamani]
e) Review in Kalaignar News
f) Review in Solvanam
g) Review in Vallinam, Malaysia based tamil magazine
Given that the author has well met two of the criterias and not just one for notability, I submit the page may be restored.

- Wobbly Keep. I don't like to vote when I can't read the sources, but I feel the need to write this as a keep to counterbalance the Delete arguments, which I find insufficient, since they are just stating a guideline without explaining how this article doesn't meet it. My understanding of WP:NAUTHOR is as follows: despite the fact that this is not explicitly stated at WP:NAUTHOR, articles on authors routinely survive AfD when they have multiple (that is, two) published books with multiple (that is, two or more) reliable-source reviews. This person has two books, both with three published reviews. As I see it there are therefore only two possible deletion arguments here: 1) that three or more of these are not reputable reviews; 2) that a literary translation with solid reviews does not count for notability, and that the additional evidence here, such as being a special guest at an awards ceremony at which your work is a topic of discussion, does not bump a borderline case over the notability line. Neither of those arguments have yet been made. If someone can make them compellingly, I'll change my vote. -- asilvering (talk) 02:18, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per asilvering. oncamera (talk page) 16:26, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - Intro para says R. Kaliprasadh (born 1979) is a Tamil writer. He has written short stories, translations, and literary reviews and criticism. This is not notable. "Literary Work" says he contributed to magazine, etc. Most people do such contribution. He or his work not won considerable awards. He is just an author and not per WP:AUTHOR. If the aricle is written as per [[WP:AUTHOR]], let me know which part and does it fit with reliable source? --~AntanO4task (talk) 16:46, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- I have already answered this question, and (clearly, I believe) explained the two possible deletion arguments. The lead sentence is not obligated to explain why the subject of an article passes notability guidelines. (For comparison, take this unquestionably notable author: "AUTHOR was a British writer and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University (Magdalen College, 1925–1954) and Cambridge University (Magdalene College, 1954–1963)." None of those things are inherently notable either.) -- asilvering (talk) 17:31, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. I'm reluctant to delete an article about an author in a major literary tradition, when that author has apparently published many books, just because I am totally unfamilar with the tradition. It's possible that the references are good, and we accept references in any language. There is no rule that the article must say X is notable because ____ . Such an argument was occasionally used in my first days here, but that was when we were still floundering around with the meaning of notability and the criteria for deletion; I haven't seen it since 2006 or 2007. I and many others thought it absurd then, and very soon so did everyone. DGG ( talk ) 05:07, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Poor sourcing that does not establish notability for a new religious movement, or voluntary association or whatever they actually are. I was unable to find more significant sourcing during a WP:BEFORE search. Mostly it's self published, fringe or primary sourcing. I had Ymblanter, who is familiar with the language used in sources I could not read, check sources for me. They responded Concerning the reliability of the references: 1 - an academic article in a conference proceedings book, the book was reviewed, but no indication separate contributions were peer-reviewed; 2 - a student presentation at a conference, not peer-reviewed, I would say not a RS; 3 - similar to 1; 4 - low-impact journal published in Ukraine, presumably peer-reviewed, an academic work (the journal is published by a university); 5 - a deadlink, and is supposed to reference the fact that the organization is legally registered, would not establish notability in any case, a primary source; 6 - typical for Ukrainian media, looks like a media publication, but in fact is just a report of a blog of a non-notable person, definitely not a RS; 7 - slightly better than 5, looks like kind of RS, Daily Mail level; 8 - a web portal controlled by the Orthodox church, I would say hardly a RS; 9 - slightly better than 7; 10 - would never pass RSN, not a RS; 11 - see 6, cites a primary source. I have never heard of the movement (which by itself does not say anything, I do not live in Eastern Europe), but for me the notability is on the edge.

The current article has 20 references (not 13), and the majority of them are about Wessman, including [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]. There are also many more sources available through a quick Google search, including [12] titled "Viking boss, Viking strategy" from The Economist in 2007, as well as many sources from just the past few weeks where he has been quoted or mentioned. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 19:58, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Nothing has changed since the last AfD that was closed just two weeks ago. He is one of Iceland's best known and most successful businessmen and easily passes WP:GNG. Here is a four page coverage from 2004 in Iceland's largest newspaper, Morgunblaðið. Here is is a 13-page coverage on him in the Icelandic business magazine Frjáls Verslun after he was named Iceland's business man of the year in 2006. [13] Here is a two page coverage on him in Dagblaðið Vísir. Here is yet another full page coverage on him, this time in Fréttablaðið. Should I go on? Alvaldi (talk) 20:26, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Keep The first nomination for deletion was made by someone who was working on behalf of Róbert Wessman. I suspect it was due to the coverage of some unflattering allegations made against him by a former colleague and they didn't like it. They wanted to TNT it so that it might not even be in the edit history if and when the article was recreated. Those allegations were properly sourced and over time, due weight seems to have been achieved. As for this nomination and notability, I think Róbert Wessman is highly notable. He is an extremely well known public figure in Iceland to the point where one could call him a celebrity. For instance, just look at the coverage his wedding got: here and here as examples (of notability, not great sources). Jökull Júlíusson performed. Wally and Alvaldi have already given examples establishing notability from a business perspective. He is not a "flash in the pan" as significant coverage goes back to at least 2007. Also, I am not sure why "interview" is being used like it is a bad word. AFAICT, interviews help establish notability. Cheers, --SVTCobra 22:20, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

South African Olympic beach volleyballer who competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics. That, aside from an infobox and a birthdate, is all we have on her in this article. I've checked Google, which brings up many other wiki and user-generated articles, and some databases that confirm that she did not win a medal in a later Olympics either. My newspapers search just brought up single-sentence mentions, all related to the 2008 Olympics. I suspect that South African newspapers are under-indexed in my database, but I don't know that finding more of them would make a difference here or if it would just be more single sentences.
I assume this article was added because all Olympians were once considered notable, but the guidelines at WP:NOLYMPICS now hold that only medallists are notable. asilvering (talk) 17:30, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete The claim that merely showing up for the olympics, especially in the pre-World War I phase, or in sports where you are playing on a team as opposed to getting judged individually, makes one default notable was never supported by the facts. It has lead to huge numbers of "biographies" with one low quality source, that only tell us the person competed in a certain year in the olympics, and maybe the year they were born, and nothing else. This new rule is going to cause people to spend the energy to better review these articles. It will lead to us having much higher quality articles on the olympic competitors whose articles we keep, and it will lead to removal of articles that can not be supported through GNG. This article clearly lacks the sourcing that would be needed to pass GNG, and significant searching has not produced the needed significant coverage in independent, reliable, 3rd-party secondary sources, so we should delete this article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:56, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

No evidence is shown to indicate this player meets GNG. He was briefly on the books at Atlanta Silverbacks and some sources indicate he made a single appearance for them, though this isn't indicated in the article and it's hard to find a report for any match he participated in (so there's no way of knowing if it was even a competitive fixture).

- Comment – Parrish does meet WP:NFOOTY, as backed up by FBRef and Stats Crew. This thread at BigSoccer has details on the appearance, he came on as a substitute in the 2008 season opener. Now, with that said, I'm aware that current consensus would still have this article deleted for failing GNG, and I just don't have the time during the holiday season to do the necessary deep dive to find sources. Therefore, I'm going to make what might be a strange request: if and when this article is deleted, I would like to request the closer to preserve it in my userspace, if possible. I'd like to try to rescue this article, but definitely won't have the time until after the new year.

This biography is largely unsupported by sourcing. I previously prodded it, when it only had the passing mention in the New York Times. Now a book reference has been added, but I'm still not convinced if this alone is sufficient for WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Gustav Richter was clearly an SS officer in Romania at some point. Is that alone notable? The SS was a large organisation. There are many more, bold claims in the article that remain unsubstantiated. If even half of these were true, it is surprising that this 14-year-old article has not garnered a few more reliable sources demonstrating substantial coverage of these events by now. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:09, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Withdrawn by nominator The DE Wiki coverage does indeed appear compelling. I should have checked. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:08, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- There are several sources that say that he was the advisor on Jewish affairs in Romania, i.e. the officer in charge of implementing the final solution in a country that was firmly in the Nazi camp but still retained some autonomy. This is much more than just being a "normal" SS officer. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:42, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep: A couple of points on this one. Richter seems to have played a somewhat significant role during the Holocaust in Romania, in addition to being the last person known to have seen Wallenberg alive. The corresponding German Wikipedia article lists some offline sources that would likely provide WP:SIGCOV, in particular Romania, the Holocaust and the Logic of Violence by Heinen.

Keep This subject meets the criteria for being in an encyclopedia. There is plenty of coverage so I think it should be kept. There are plenty of Wikipedia articles that include more or less celebrity gossip and other things that are not suitable for an encyclopedia.Tanumena (talk) 12:31, 25 December 2021 (UTC)— Tanumena (talk •contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. — Tanumena (talk · contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Linde Place (talk · contribs).- Delete Wikipedia isn't a news outlet. Sure this has gotten some coverage in the moment, but suicides like this one often do, and I doubt it will get any kind of long-term sustained coverage once it dies down as a topic. Everything about it is literally from this month and the end of November. It's not like the article can't be recreated if there continues to be coverage of it in a few months or whatever. In the meantime, I think this also goes against Wikipedia not being a repository of basic facts.

- Merge to United States Air Force Academy Cadet Wing. A single PhD thesis from Rand is hardly WP:SIGCOV, so a standalone article seems a bit much. The content could easily be folded into the main article, resulting in one stronger article rather than multiple weaker ones. The same applies to Cadet Wing Commander (AFCW/CC) as well. -Ljleppan (talk) 09:33, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

- Baye McNeil (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)
I came across this article and found it contained a lot of problems (Too one-sided, rely on self-published sources and notability issues). I actually took a couple days trying to improve it but the problem still exist after I edited it couple times.
There are several problems with the subject Baye McNeil.
(1) The subject have problems with notability. He basically is a blogger, self-published book author and part time columnist (Mainly The Japan Times). Although he wrote several pieces to more well-known news media like The Washington Post, I dont think it's notable enough to have it own page. The only thing he did that could be considered somehow notable is his involvement in the 2018 Fuji TV "Blackface" incident. But his involvement was mainly just wrote some op-ed to protest and some of his remarks was picked up by some US news media. Although the subject name pops up here and there in some big media coverages, almost all of them are just asking his thoughts about Fuji TV "Blackface" incident. Most of the other news pieces that include him were just like that. Other than that, he is, to put it mildly, a nobody (Except his remarks last year cause some backlash in Japan).So I think he fails WP:GNG
(2)This entry seems relies heavily on self-published sources or interviews about himself, which is not reliable sources.The whole "Early life" basically came from his self-published books, his blog or interviews with the subject. Almost all of them were subjective. I already cut out quite a few paragraphs that were poorly sourced. Like the previous edits claimed he is a lecturer in couple Japanese Universities but all I found is the subject posted some pictures with seemingly students in it. I couldnt found any official records from those universities. So it's almost impossible to tell if he is a lecturer or just some guy who happened gave out a speech in those places. The editor Ray Jameson, who created this page, also included a section name called "Ariana Miyamoto and Naomi Osaka" but the whole section just talked about McNeil had wrote some columns about them and gave out his personal opinions, which is hardly worth metioning in a wiki page. The whole previous page seems more like a self-promotion page as most of the things there were overwhelmingly positive and the used of words were quite subjective. I already tried to clear out this problem and balance both opinions but I think it's worth mentioning here.

- Weak Keep But very weakly. I agree with the issues of most of the refs being WP:INTERVIEWs and self-published sources, but a GNEWS search, along with results of his work for The Japan Times, brings up non-interview articles where comments from him are cited for topics besides the Fuji TV incident, especially on Naomi Osaka. That would not be a strong enough case, however, and he needs a lot more nontrivial coverage about himself for my !vote to be stronger. 👨x🐱 (Nina CortexxCoco Bandicoot) 03:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment@HumanxAnthro: I checked those articles where his comments were cited but every pieces are the same quotes(Chinese and English alike) How about we put his opinions on the Naomi Osaka page instead of having its own page?

- @HumanxAnthro: Agreed. I think a section named "Controversy" in the Fuji TV page explaining this incident would be just fine. This incident did not last long nor really that "noticeable".

- Weak keep For western ex-pats (and possibly also non-western Black ex-pats) in Japan, at least those of my "generation", McNeil is something of a household name, and while I don't think being relatively famous within a certain small community merits a standalone Wikipedia, nor do I find the fact that he is frequently cited in articles running in The Japan Times (his "employer" in a manner of speaking) compelling, but excluding those results still leaves a number of articles on Naomi Osaka, etc. in various international papers. However, I do think that we should be more vigilant about this article's content and cut anything that can't be attributed to a reliable secondary source, as was done some years ago with Debito Arudou; if, once this is done, the article turns into a permastub, then we can probably come back here, or perhaps someone could boldly redirect it to Japan Times (since, unless I'm mistaken, most of the time someone cites him they are citing something he wrote for that paper). Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 06:31, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete/Merge Fails notablilty and full of unreliable sources. As user HumanxAnthro above point out, the Fuji TV incident should be merged into that section of the Fuji TV page instead.

- Weak keep The article needs cleaning up to tone down the possible self-promotion, but it already includes sourced information critical of him (thanks in part to Someone97816). It also includes citations of articles in major media that introduce him such as the NYT. Further searches see him on the BBC [29], Reuters [30] [31], Christian Science Monitor [32], etc. He's also appeared on news shows in Japan (as noted here: [33]). For reasons beyond just the 2018 incident he has become for major international media a go-to person for commentary on the place of Black people in Japan. You also see him giving invited talks at universities and academic conferences on the subject: [34] [35] [36] etc. He has, in a sense, become an authority on the subject. Given that his commentary has gone beyond any one incident, it makes no sense to merge this with any one incident. Michitaro (talk) 05:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete or Draftify As the parent page is of dubious notability (see Draft:MotoGP eSport Championship), there's little reason for a single season of that event to remain in mainspace. It might just merit a WP:REDIRECT to the parent page in due course. My advice would be to focus on the parent article, remembering that this is not a real world race, just a load of people playing computer games, as far as I can tell. Nick Moyes (talk) 16:01, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
- Redirect to MotoGP eSports Championship IF parent article passes draft, otherwise delete. Non-notable video game competition. Extremely low WP:POTENTIAL for passing GNG in the future. I would argue that eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series and Formula One Esports Series are both far more notable "video-game-competitions-sanctioned-by-motorsport-league" and between them, only two season articles exist. -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 17:20, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

He is the only one who written, directed, produced, edited the videos for Karikku. The page Karikku and even their web series Thera Para as notable as here on Wikipedia. Nikhil Prasad is the only man behind these, He is not only the founder, but also the creative head of it. In my personal opinion he falls under WP:CREATIVE. Can we keep it?

- It took days to contact him via LinkedIn. To get permission to use his image in Wikipedia to avoid copyright. I got an image and permission to use it as a free file. That's all. I believe that an article without an image is incomplete. You can check my previous image uploads I contribute images (by taking them directly that I can access) for articles that don't have an image. As I got a copyright message earlier, In his case, I tried to avoid copyright by not using his image from public sources. To conclude, this is not about a conflict of interest, It is all about my effort and time to create this. That is why I asked for help in TH. Please do not misunderstand. I am just waiting for other's votes to conclude. Onmyway22 talk 13:34, 17 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment His only claim to fame is Karikku. Thera Para is a subset of Karikku and I can assure you it will not result in a keep if somebody nominates it for a deletion. He is not the first person to start a digital platform in Kerala, though he indeed is the founder of one of the more popular platforms. Probably a deletion or at best a redirect is in order.

- Merge as is the case with many NYE ceremonies, they almost never warrant their own page. Just as an example, earlier this week I tagged Pelican Drop for merger into Pensacola, Florida. In a case like this celebration, even with the articles covering it, it seems like it's largely WP:INHERIT as the notability of the event derives from it being on the Burj Khalifa.

- Delete WP:NCORP requires multiple sources (at least two) of deep or significant coverage with in-depth information *on the company* and (this bit is important!) containing "Independent Content". "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject. That means, nothing that relies on company information or announcements or interviews, etc. None of the references in the article meet the criteria. I have been unable to find any references that meet NCORP criteria, topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 16:10, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep some citations for this and was added recently, and this significant one from The Express Tribune was written in natural point of view, another from Times of India.

- This article on The Express Tribune is mostly an interview. There is little independent reporting there. MarioGom (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- It is not definitely an interview! An article along with 2 quotes is not called "Interview"! Most part of article is about the company and give us useful information and there is no need for quotation to be used as reference. The source is focusing on company (significant coverage) on The Express Tribune. صحاسبت (talk) 12:23, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- Keep I have added multiple sourcing to the article. I believe The Express Tribune article is a report that is a RS to demonstrate notability. In first nomination, other sources was mentioned about market of company in Pakistan, USA and other countries of Middle East. These along with the good amount of news coverage from the would constitute substantial coverage, I think. This company is of sufficient notability and source coverage to deserve at least as a stub. صحاسبت (talk) 19:50, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. Even the coverage in The Express Tribune many commenters are relying upon to show substantial independent coverage in reliable sources is kind of run of the mill; it's an interview with an executive and coverage of a capitalization round. This is routine corporate stuff, and I echo what User:HighKing was saying earlier. Articles about companies about which little has been said other than "they exist, they make some products, they sell stock" plus interviews with the founders are not valuable as encyclopedia articles and serve no purpose other than to puff up the importance of the company at our collective expense. Wikipedia isn't a fundraising tool or a directory of random companies. FalconK (talk) 00:46, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Quite a simple nomination - does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Came across this article during suggested cleanup tasks, and there is little I can do to assist in improving this article. Its three sentences say all there is to say about the subject, and it has no ability for expansion due to a lack of significant coverage or verifiable sources. Per WP:CREATIVE this person is not an important figure, no significant new photography techniques, no major role in a well known work, and the works are not of significance.

- Keep: The article only needs improvement. The article in Portuguese is much better. A quick search shows that he was one of the most important photographers in Brazil in the late 1800s. His photography studio was one of the most important in São Paulo (Brazil's biggest city). He's mentioned in several books and works about the history of photography in Brazil. See here, here, here, here and here. He also has a profile at the pt:Enciclopédia Itaú Cultural which, in Brazil, is normally an indication that an artist is notable. I believe he passes WP:GNG and WP:ARTIST. Kacamata! Dimmi!!! 06:01, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Per the GNG, the subject of this article has not received significant coverage in reliable sources, and so it cannot be presumed as notable. The subject has not been widely covered outside Wikipedia, nor has this show attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time.
Now, I am going to refer to WP:NTV which is an essay, not a guideline, but is still useful and rather persuasive in my opinion. This TV program does not appear to have aired on multiple networks. Per WP:NTVNATL, the absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program audience. So, merely that this show aired in the U.S., even if nationally, does not make it notable.
My conclusion is that a one sentence article with no significant coverage is not of encyclopaedic value and does not belong on Wikipedia. Such-change47 (talk) 09:11, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: No opinion for now, but there seems to be a plethora of news coverage on Google News that provide WP:SIGCOV (the show was called just Nightwatch before recently, so searching without the nation part may yield more results as well).

My PROD nomination was unfortunately removed with the suggestion it should be a PROMERGE. However, I don't believe any information from this page should be merged into the other page, as it already mentions his school proportionally.

Flagging this for a few reasons. First, there appear to be no verifiable sources. The "BBC" source looks genuine, but is not. The URL is not the same as the proper BBC Arabic site. I google translated this and the name in that 'article' is not the same as in this stub. So this lack of verifiable sources means the article does not and can not meet WP:VERIFY.
Second, as there is no significant coverage and no reliable sources provided, I find this article unlikely to satisfy the requirements of WP:N either.
Third, article is only three days old and has never been reviewed. I understand this is not necessarily a ground for deletion, however it does mean no independent reviewer has confirmed this article as appropriate for Wikipedia. The author has had other articles declined for similar reasons to what I have mentioned.
Last, but this is a weak point - I question whether the article is written in a neutral and objective manner. It merely seems to read like a list of this persons work. Such-change47 (talk) 08:06, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

First, this page has no sources. It's written confusingly by (whom I assume to be) a non-native English speaker, whom in all likely hood has a COI as this is one of the only pages the account that made the page edited, and is likely a SPA. Upon searching for Isopress it is difficult to find information on, and what I do find does not establish enough basically any notability for this to be warranted as a page. --Tautomers(T C) 06:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete, as being the youngest candidate at the time is not in itself notable in a long-term (he was nearly 22, so not extraordinarily young or with a claim of being the youngest ever election candidate). There are actually a fair few hits on newspapers.com but very much run-of-the-mill reporting of him being the youngest in that election and all as a passing mention. He didn't appear to have any notable political career and if the only claim is that he nearly won a seat as a young-un, I don't think that will suffice. Someone older at the time, even slightly, would not have an article in similar circumstances. Bungle (talk • contribs) 13:32, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete We accept all members of legislatures as notable, because legislatures do things that are important. It is not the winning the election that makes someone notable, it is the seating in the legislature. Members of legislatures that are appointed by means other than election, but actually have functions of making laws and the like, are still notable. The coverage here is not significant, and we do not directly say "youngest x is notable", we follow significant coverage, and are not a newspaper, so we take a broad view, and not just the "youngest x in this election".John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - The article seems only to exist because he was the youngest candidate at the 1923 general election, but as others have made clear this does not give him the kind of notability that would merit an article.

The result was no consensus. But not a simple no consensus defaulting to keep. There is a clear consensus that this article needs to be stripped back, modified appropriately, improved and better sourced.
While AfD is not cleanup, it is also not a suicide pact, and if significant modifications aren't made in line with the overwhelming sentiment expressed below over the coming weeks and months, we will be back at AfD in Q2 of 2022 and the outcome could potentially be very different.

I am not seeing how this is a maintainable or workable list. There is no clear, consistent definition of what defines an "indigenous people" across the entire planet. While the definition of "indigenous peoples" may be clear in some contexts (i.e. Indigenous Australians and Americans) in many others it is not clear what would be defined as an "indigenous person" as opposed to merely an ethnic group that is found in a particular area, such as in most of Africa.

- Comment @Hemiauchenia it is unbecoming to edit out my statement and claim it to be a personal attack when it was not. It would be better to wait and see if other editors feel that way and to inform me as such (editors may review the edit history to make their own judgement). But being both judge and jury is unfair. Nevertheless, I shall re-explain more gently. This proposal reads as wikilawyering and feels frivolous given how self-evidently this article deserves to remain. If you feel it is so questionable and needing of editing, it would be much better to edit the page, and discuss the issue at hand on its talk page with other editors. Outright deletion is far, far to extreme and unwarranted. --Tautomers(T C) 09:10, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- You can't baselessly accuse me of Wikilayering for writing a deletion nomination that you disagree with.

- Comment - Actually, I can. I'm sorry that you dislike my opionion. This page has existed for over 16 years, has had thousands of edits, with dozens of sources, and hundreds of well-sorted links. It is a clearly well maintained and an important article. Your rationale that it should be deleted simply because it is too vague is nonsensical. You did not even attempt to bring up the issue at hand on the articles talk page to attempt to re-define or engage in a discussion about the articles scope. This is the first AfD this article has been put up for, and was only PRODed several years ago and was promptly removed. Also worth noting this article is also under 30/500 protection via the arbitration committee. Because of this, it does in fact strike me as wikilawyering, at best. At any rate, there is not much more to be said. Other editors can commence with their vote and review. Should this be a keep vote, I would encourage you to discuss on the articles talk page about your concerns over potential vagueness. You could even start that now in the meantime while this is reviewed since it is extremely likely Keep will be the outcome. Carry on~ --Tautomers(T C) 09:45, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- None of the things you have mentioned are at all relevant for whether or not an article should be deleted.

- I'm afraid that this list is not well-maintained at all, Tautomers. Yes there are dozens of citations—45 at the moment—but that is not a good thing in a contentious list with hundreds of entities. Consider also that nearly half (19) of those citations are concentrated in the section on Jews, Palestinians and Samaritans. – Joe (talk) 10:10, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Weak keep but stubify. I can see where the nominator is coming from, but we've been too hung up on "definitions" in this set of articles. Even UN bureaucrats now recognise that Indigeneity is a question of self-identification, not checklist-criteria. If a group self-identifies as Indigenous, and that claim is recognise in a significant number of reliable sources, then we should include them in articles like this. Of course there will always be disputes and edge-cases, but I don't think that criterion is any less precise than that used in the majority of our lists. That said, this version of the list is a giant mess. I've had it on my watchlist for about a decade and I really can't recall more than a handful of significant, constructive edits in that time. Instead there is just a tiresome repetition of the same disputes (notably the inclusion of Israeli Jews and/or Palestinians) and a familiar cycle where somebody adds their ethnic group, complains when it is reverted because "we've always lived here!", and we have to patiently explain, again, that if we included every ethnic group that has ever been indigenous to anywhere, we'd have to call it list of ethnic groups. Meanwhile, coverage of groups who are without question Indigenous people, and for whom Indigeneity has been a central part of struggles for recognition and legal rights, has been ignored: the sections on North and South America, Australasia, and the Arctic—where the majority of the world's Indigenous peoples live—are woefully incomplete and entirely unsourced. We should take this AfD as an opportunity to start again with verifiable information a inclusion criteria based on Indigenous self-identification and coverage in reliable sources, not armchair lawyering based on what this or that NGO says. – Joe (talk) 09:53, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment This is a fair take and I have revised my vote to keep instead of speedy keep given this. A page like this is bound to be messy basically however you slice it and it will never be perfect. I noticed the intense bickering when looking through the edit history which (sadly) didn't surprise me. I agree this AfD could be a good opertunity for people to come together and improve the article. The topic is inherently very political and will need to be treaded gently and with understanding. I hesitate to suggest draftify though as I worry it might never exit draft space due to how contentious the topic will certainly become during the editing processs. --Tautomers(T C) 10:03, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment The term "indigenous peoples" has become a catch-all term for politically and culturally marginalized ethnic groups all over the world, and undoubtedly has helped to create awareness about the strife of these peoples. But alas, this does not always match the stricter definitions of the term (which may vary based on the temporal cut-off point and whether the criterion of political participation is included). The current largely unsourced list is all apples and oranges; e.g. why are Amhara, Yorubas, Hausa included (technically they are non-majority autochtonous peoples, but in no way politically marginalized), but not Visayans who are also a non-majority and non-marginalized autochtonous group? Tongans are listed, even though they have all the political power over their country. But still, a huge part of the list contains groups that are Indigenous peoples by all standards, as pointed out by Joe Roe. I am aware of WP:NOTCLEANUP, but I share with the OP the concern of how to realistically turn this into a manageable list that lives up to its definition. At the current state, I'd opt for draftify or
TNT-deletestubify. –Austronesier (talk) 09:58, 22 December 2021 (UTC) - Comment I am tempted to support deletion, but that would not solve the underlying problem. I do think the List needs to be drastically reformed, and maybe re-named. As other have noted, it is too much of a hodge-podge. In my humble opinion, "indigenous" is a valid term for peoples that entered the awareness of the wider world fairly recently, say, in the last five centuries, and who are now minorities and/or oppressed by other peoples in their own ancestral territory. It overlaps with, but is not the same, as "minority", or "oppressed people", or "ethnic group". I think we need a serious dicussion on what the scope of this list should be and, depending on what that discussion decides, what to call the list. - Donald Albury 16:21, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Insidiously misleading weasel term as others have intuitively grasped and I don't see much room for reform because it's a political term that doesn't match the etymological origin in practice. --Killuminator (talk) 17:20, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep per Joe's reasoning. Not only is there a clear definition at the start of the article, there are multiple others linked that say more or less the same thing. I agree that this version of the article is a mess, though. It may be better to make this an outline linking to the articles for respective continents. ThadeusOfNazerethTalk to Me! 12:41, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete, draftify or stubify - While a list on this subject would be useful, this article at present falls short at every turn. I disagree about whether the definition is clear. I'm not sure why it does not simply start with the same definition as on the Indigenous peoples page. Instead, it cites a far more random journal entry. In the definition section, it then seems to paraphrase some elements on the UN definition. Not a great or particularly consistent start. No wonder the article has become an inconsistent WP:COATRACK. I would tend towards delete only because WP:TNT may be the only way to rationalise this content. Overhauling it, when there are no citations for 90% of the content, will be a mammoth effort. Drafting is another reasonably option, but this obviously has the problem of who would take it on. The stubify option is therefore possibly more viable as it, like WP:TNT, would encourage the article to be rebuilt, bottom up, with inline citations throughout justifying the inclusion of individual entries - the ideal level of sourcing intensity for all such lists. Iskandar323 (talk) 21:08, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- The definition given in the lead of "Indigenous peoples" constantly changes over time, in December 2020, the defintiion was " ethnic groups who are native to a particular place on Earth and live or lived in an interconnected relationship with the natural environment there for many generations prior to the arrival of non-Indigenous peoples." In October 2019 the definition was "ethnic groups who are the original owners and caretakers of a given region, in contrast to groups that have settled, occupied or colonized the area more recently." Arguably a RfC is needed to fix the definition. Hemiauchenia (talk) 22:50, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- Agree that there are some serious definitional issues at play. The quote They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal system. is sourced to some random person (apparently?) and basically ascribes universal political ideals to all indigenous groups across the world - which is absurd. This article can't seem to make its mind up on what it wants to include. I can see this being a viable list, but it's in a moribund state. Also, re the nominator "it is not clear what would be defined as an 'indigenous person' as opposed to merely an ethnic group that is found in a particular area, such as in most of Africa" the most of Africa thing is not exactly true. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, you have various ethnic groups who are essentially "native" to the country (by political Western standards) and make up the vast majority of the population, such as the Luba people, Lulua people, and Songye people, but because they are descendants of the Bantu migrations thousands of years ago they are not considered "indigenous" in the way Twa/African Pygmies are. In some places, "indigenous" is also a legal category. -Indy beetle (talk) 17:11, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

- Keep - useful page, and as has been said, it has a definition at the start.

- Keep but purge This is a horrid article, at least in part, with some people being named as indigenous, where that is at best doubtful; if anything, they are the settler community despite being nomadic. We seem to have Roma and other travelling communities all over western Europe, but the best view is that they migrated from India during the medieval period, long after the area was settled. In Britain the Celtic peoples of the west have a case for being indigenous, but colonisation by Angles, Saxons, Norse Vikings, and then Normans took place so long ago, that the distinction between indigenous and non-indigenous is meaningless. It is utterly different with those parts of the world that have been subject to large-scale colonisation by Europeans, African ex-slaves, Arabs, or Han Chinese.

- Keep and expand by translating the French article It's not a rare term. I think this may have been nominated without checking Google. [41] which shows 24,000 references. It's used in English. French and Spanish, in physical chemistry, geology food science, sociology., including by Nobelist Peter Debye ( Debye P, Hückel E. De la theorie des electrolytes. I. abaissement du point de congelation et phenomenes associes. Physikalische Zeitschrift. 1923;24(9):185-206) . I'm not immediately clear about the exact difference in usage from near-synonyms, but there see to be a basis for an article here.
- And looking further, I see there most certainly is basis for an article, and the usage can certainly be clarified. The French WP article [42] isn't listed in the language list, and in frWP the enWP equivalent is Frozen food, which is one of the many gross semantic errors deriving from Wikidata.[43] Congelation is not just the equivalent of freezing, as the use in soil science illustrates. DGG ( talk ) 07:16, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- @DGG: It's worth scrutinising that further to understand if there anything to it, as I noted in my !vote. I do however observe that the french wiki article you linked essentially translates to a page which discusses freezing and google translate directly translates the word to freezing (or deep freezing, to be precise), so of course there will be tens of thousands of literature on the topic of freezing, in any language. What confuses me with the French wiki setup is that the article Solidification is what seems to be the french-wiki equivalent to en-wiki's 'freezing' article. Neither seems particularly relatable to the en-wiki Congelation article in question. I also can't ascertain if 'congelation' is just a french word for 'freezing' by co-incidence or if it's a more specialist topic relatable to the subject of the afd.

Relisting comment: To discuss DGG's comments more.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2021 (UTC)- Reading the French source, it's an article on a phase change that is not necessarily freezing in the usual sense, but solidification or thickening-- such as the geochemical changes discussed in the article: they are sol-gel transitions, not freezing. The material in our freezing article is contained there, but so is much else. Theway to proceed will be I think to expand this article to match thefrWP, and then deal with duplications. DGG ( talk ) 03:58, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- I remain unconvinced in its credibility as an article, particularly as similar terms like congeal and congealment do not have articles (although the former redirects to this). There may have been a consideration to redirect to solidification if that were an independent article like on french wiki, but on en-wiki that just redirects to our freezing article. Reading your rationale DGG, i'd wonder if it would be more logical to create an article built around the broader term solidification (using fr-wiki as a basis) and then redirecting congelation to that.

- why should similar forms of the word have articles also, like congeal and congealment? We're not a dictionary. congeall is a verb, and we do not usually make articles for verbs , and whether it should be the spelling 'congealment" or "Congelation" depends on what the more common form is in English. "Solidification" certainly is a possibility, but we need to look if it's a true synonym and covers all the cases. But I agree that "Congelation" sounds awkward in English. DGG ( talk ) 14:50, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry about my poor phrasing, I just meant the other terms are also in wiki dictionary only because, like congelation, they're a definition too. If I thought congelation could redirect anywhere, i'd have suggested that but replicating the french wiki in this instance (and redirecting to freezing) would seem inappropriate. I still consider deleting this article is probably the best approach and then if someone thinks a standalone article for solidification could be made, that can be done irrespective.

- Keep it's an operation in alchemy listed and linked in Alchemical symbols, not explained elsewhere on Wikipedia or even mentioned in Alchemy. Yes, the article needs to be more than a dicdef, but its a needed article and shouldn't be deleted. Skyerise (talk) 15:38, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Keep though the article contains very little information, the topic has been much studied. Most of us know it as congealing, and congeal is a redirect to it. Wikipedia has an article about how blood congeals, called coagulation. If your blood does not congeal properly, you have a disease called haemophilia. Blancmange and porridge congeal during cooking. I once attended a one hour lecture by a doctor of chemistry from I.C.I. about how cement particles behave as cement congeals, and how by modifying their behaviour during this process, his team at I.C.I. had produced a new inorganic material he called N.I.M. (New Inorganic Material) that was basically cement, but behaved very differently from cement (you could make spoons and window-frames from it for example).-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:11, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment - I have no idea whether the English term is used anywhere in modern science, but Holmyard 1957, pp. 150, 271 uses the term as the name of an alchemical process which is apparently synonymous to crystallization. Perhaps the use of the term in alchemy derives from the De congelatione et conglutinatione lapidum, an extract from Avicenna's Kitab al-Shifa which was for a long time thought to form the last three chapters of the fourth book of Aristotle's Meteorology (see Linden 2003, p. 95), in which Aristotle described physical and chemical processes like solidification, evaporation, combustion, etc. However that may be, Linden 2003, p. 17 attributes the term to Sir George Ripley in his Compound of Alchymy, which seems to establish that the English term was in use among alchemists in 15th-century England. Searching Google scholar for "congelation" alchemy also reveals that the term is at least mentioned here and there by historians of alchemy.
- However, I doubt that this will ever be much more than a mini-stub. Surely, it would be better to treat the topic within the framework of an article like Philosophers' stone or Magnum opus (alchemy), where all of the 'stages' or 'operations' involved could be explained in their proper context. Then again, these articles need a lot of work and do not seem ready to just merge in the material from our article. I will not !vote since I've been summoned here, but other !voters may want to take a second look after today's updates of the article by Skyerise and me. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 01:33, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

- Comment: Thanks for the work on this! I'm a bit confused by the current draft: is this article solely about the alchemical usage? If so, the first sentence could be improved by adding a scope ("In alchemy, ...") But the article is also suggestive that this word has a modern scientific meaning. The draft is much better but I'm still not convinced of the scope or notability, and it hasn't moved too far beyond WP:DICDEF. Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Further comment: I asked an inorganic chemist about the word, they said they have never heard of it used in a chemistry context. That seems problematic. Polymerization is used instead and related. A Google Scholar search reveals many papers (particularly on oil congelation?) but not much WP:SIGCOV material. Difficult ask for a keep vote on present evidence. Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:26, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- It seems that this article at its first creation in 2005 was intended as an article about the alchemical operation, and it has stayed that way until last year when I –somewhat infelicitously– removed the bit about alchemy because it was unsourced. But here's an idea: we could turn Congelation into a disambiguation page briefly explaining that Congelation (alchemy) is an archaic term for various forms of solidification such as Freezing, Crystallization, or Coagulation (another word with a background in alchemy, see [44]) with perhaps 'see also' links to Congelation ice and Congelatio (though the latter term is not mentioned in its target article). Then again, it may even be better yet to simply remove all references to modern physico-chemical processes and just turn this into an alchemy stub, as it was probably originally intended (as I said above, it should definitely be merged into another article at some point, but the other articles are not ready for that). ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 20:12, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Apaugasma: If that's a potential direction of travel, why not just make solidification a DAB linking to the articles you already mentioned, with a reference to congelation linking to the dicdef? I still don't feel overly convinced in congelation as a standalone article. Maybe congelation could then redirect to solidification at a push. Although my delete !vote wasn't with much conviction, I remain steadfast in my general opinion. Bungle (talk • contribs) 20:20, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- @Bungle: I understand why you hold on to your previous opinion, which I do not consider by any means invalid. Just to be clear: yes, Solidification may be a better candidate for DAB, but what do you mean with linking to the dicdef? A link to a standalone stub on congelation in alchemy, or to the Wiktionary entry? Because the latter does not contain any info (as our stub does) on the term's historical background in alchemy, on its being one of the principal operations in the works of pseudo-Khalid ibn Yazid, Sir George Ripley, etc. I agree that congelation in alchemy is barely notable as an independent subject, but it is more than a WP:DICDEF now, if only ever so slightly. If the term 'congelation' as used in alchemy is not found to meet (a lenient interpretation of) WP:SIGCOV (it is often mentioned, but apparently not in-depth), there should not be an article on it, and in that case I don't see a need to disambiguate it at all. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 21:17, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- In a scenario whereby congelation is present on a hypothetical solidification DAB, i'd have suggested maybe linking to the dicdef page, unless there is another existing article which could suitably house the minimal stub info regarding congelation as an alchemy term (and in that instance, then to a sub-section of that parent article). The issue now may be that the viability of the article rests somewhere between being perhaps slightly more than just a dicdef, yet not quite significant enough for an independent article.

- @Caleb Stanford: Polymerisation is a different thing. With polymerisation, lots of small identical molecules daisychain to make big molecules. It is of course true that polymerisation may make liquids get thicker or it may cause them to precipitate (i.e. for solid particles to appear in the liquid).-- Toddy1 (talk) 12:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

- Comment If the term (or process) is notable withins alchemy, I thik it woul be less confusing to have a separate article for that. But as for the comment not knowing whether the term is still used in modern science, seeGoogleScholar ,limited to English and since 2018 --1530 hits (tho about half arenon-english articles, that happen to have an English language title. The current use is apparently mainly in geology and food science, not chemistry. DGG ( talk ) 22:14, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
- Many of the scholar results, despite the English search, are actually in French, or are dual language English/French with the term only appearing in the French text. We need to be careful not to cover French meanings of the word on the English Wikipedia. I am particular dubious about extending its meaning to freezing. Not sure that that occurs in English. For instance this one translates French congelation to freexing in the English version. In any case, grouping crystallisation, congealing, and freexing in one article is getting into dictionary territory. These are not the same thing to modern science, although I'd be fine with an article on congealing proper. If alchemy made such a grouping as a single phenomena, then this should be an exclusively alchemic article. If they didn't, and its just the same word being used in different contexts there is no justification for it at all. SpinningSpark 19:30, 9 January 2022 (UTC)

Most of the promotion is gone, and the company has been around long enough and in the news a number of times to be notable to me at least. I also ran across the article Immersion v. Sony which is n linked from this one but hidden behind a pipe. Not sure if that was intentional. There was a bit of coverage of that case, and there are 20 years of SEC filings, including a recent take-over attempt not mentioned. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4280751-immersion-corporation-activist-shareholders-circling-company https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/immersion-elevates-legal-head-to-ceo-after-waging-patent-battles
- As per the original comment, please clarify. It sounds like user DGG did indeed nominate this article to be deleted.

To me, the city diplomacy and the historical relationship are drivers of the relationship between the Solomon Islands and Spain even to this day, with plenty of sources satisfying WP:GNG. I therefore also think that the historical information should appear in this page (although perhaps in a more condensed version, linking to the Solomon Islands history section).

As far as the sources are concerned, the writing of all of them is exactly the same (Obviously, this is not the main cause but still...); see 1, 2. Sources do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article standards for living person & academic prof.

- Keep. The NYT book review should have been a clue that this is a significant enough book author to pass WP:AUTHOR, but the nominated version had only two major-newspaper book reviews. I added more published reviews from academic journals, enough to make the case much more clear. Hint to nominator: the two reviews already listed were in fact in-depth independent reliable secondary sources about the subject's work, so the claim that those sources weren't present is false. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:32, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Non-notable singer; reviewer that originally approved the article declined to draftify. I can't find any usable sources on Google (string: ajdaguru), and even before I gutted the article in an attempt to bring it into compliance with policy the sources were all bad, mostly being churnalism. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 01:14, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: The singer and musician is notable and his works has appeared in multiple magazines and meets the criteria here under number 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles the user Jéské Couriano has picked apart the article and basically ruined it by false claims of the paid press. Only god can say these pieces were paid for this is a keeper and the subject meets the criteria for notability. we have to understand that in the music industry this is how articles are written from a journalist's point of view. 100 percent of the time the journalist are fans of the artist so this is how the articles are written. The subject indeed is notable there is no reason to delete this. Wikipedia terms state a subject is notable if their works appear in multiple magazines or newspapers or online articles I see several from the subject. Again only God can say the articles were paid other than that. None of the sites offer such services to pay to be on their websites. This article should be kept the sources are not churnalism these journalists are fans of the artist and subject there is no way we can say that the subject is not notable.Godsentme1 (talk) 03:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: [[User:User:Godsentme1|User:Godsentme1]] ([[User talk:User:Godsentme1|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/User:Godsentme1|contribs]]) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
- Comment: All refs and much of the content was removed before the AfD was filed. I restored the content and refs. The value of the refs can be challendged as part of the AfD process, but those (and the content) should not have been removed first. However, after restoring the refs, I deleted two Song BPM refs that contributed nothing of value toward notability. David notMD (talk) 03:41, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- David notMD It's too much going on here as I feel multiple accounts are being run and it's only one user doing all of this. At this point, there are over 5 accounts all attacking me which is run by one user on the site? How fair is that? Also simply because the article was erased like that and removed before being filed for an AFD proves that there is something extremely fishy going on. At this time I cannot believe that someone has the time to create and run multiple accounts and move like this on a site that is marked as the biggest encyclopedia in the world. The reviewer was never supposed to remove the content before the afd was filed? This game ends here I guess because now how am I supposed to go up against the power of the person who is behind all these accounts. I don't see that happening. The subject is notable I shouldn't have to go back and forth for hours about this when this was already accepted the first time. The user who accepted the first time said in the chat that it was borderline but definitely acceptable I say we take the deletion off and put it back. It may be borderline but the reviewer who accepted it even stated it was a pass and stated the previous reviewers who marked as declined made mistakes? So, please keep.Godsentme1 (talk) 04:36, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reply: No one is running multiple accounts. The editor who deleted material from the article and is participating in the AfD is an extremely experienced editor who has a expert understanding of what are and what are not valid, reliable source references. Know the bar for notability. As I wrote on your Talk page, improve the article, but do not attack/suspect other editors. David notMD (talk) 05:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- (talk) Ok you said you removed 2 references that don't contribute to notability, so why didn't you remove the other links if they are not notable? I want us to all participating in this to pay close attention to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles the subject is notable under criteria 1 Hip hop music websites and magazines report news from staff and editors on the site. The person who started the deletion stated staff articles can't be accepted but this is the music industry where staff and editors write about the music artist. I think if we were talking about a sports subject or science subject then that would be different. Anyone participating in this takes a moment and see for yourself that hip-hop magazines and online websites report news from staff and editors who are admins of the website. I think the problem we are having is that you guys are thinking some form of pay is happening for these articles when these are legit and written by journalists who are independent of the subject. A staff of a credible magazine works for the magazine so how can't we count these? Again no attacks, I strongly again believe this is a keeper. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Godsentme1 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Keep: You don't need charts to be notable per Wikipedia guidelines there are many musicians that are on Wikipedia and they have never charted. Per Wikipedia guidelines here under criteria 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles the subject is notable. The subject was already approved because the reviewer stated it was a pass and nothing has changed still a pass. Per Wikipedia guidelines subject works appeared in multiple magazine articles and online articles we can't overlook this. Artists that subject produced for have never charted and they have live Wikipedia's. The subject is being targeted for deletion when he is clearly a notable musician. Charts are not the only thing that makes you notable. One of the users who's saying the sources are questionable was the same user on my talk page congratulating me when the article was approved now is here saying to delete there is some conflict of interest going on and we need real reviewers to take a look at this. Please go to my talk page and see the same user who says delete he was on my talk page saying congratulations. His exact words were "Congratulations!!" "steep learning curve but you made it!" A clear example that this deletion does not need to exist. Please see my talk page for proof. A lot of bias and wrong things occurring towards the subject. No attacks I am giving cold facts at this point. Something needs to be done subject is notable. Under option one "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself".[note 1]Godsentme1 (talk) 19:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete: Let us first deal with the AFC acceptance. As a reviewer myself I accept drafts that I believe have a better than 50% chance of surviving a deletion process. Although some drafts never see the light of "day" in main space, as soon as the draft is accepted the community gets an opportunity to make a determination. The community is made up of many people. The reviewer who accepts a draft is one editor. All reviewers understand that their acceptance my be challenged at AfD. This is normal, and healthy. This acceptance has been challenged, whcih is why we are here
The creating editor has made much of the fact that a reviewer accepted the draft. They need to get past that. This is now with the community to determine, and the actions of the highly experienced accepting reviewer are in the past, and are wholly irrelevant.
There are multiple criteria in WP:NMUSICIAN that allow acceptance. I've studied each of those and studied the referencing used to cite the facts presented the article. I have compared the article and the referencing to NMUSICIAN, and am not persuaded that it meets any of the numbered criteria within it (modified for context as stated in the overall guide to it). Thus I am certain in my view that the article should not remain here. I believe it to be WP:TOOSOON.
I recognise the creating editor's passionate attachment to their work. I am willing to reconsider if they either:
* enhance the article to show compliance and show that it then complies (WP:HEY apples)
* show clearly and briefly which numbered criterion they rely on and thereby change my mind
I apologise for the length of my opinion (irony).
tl;dr summary: The draft acceptance was in the past, and should be ignored. The article fails WP:NMUSICIAN. If it is improved to pass I can be persuaded to change my mind. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 22:01, 22 December 2021 (UTC)- I see they cite

- @Geordie, @Jéské Couriano, the creating editor deserves a full community verdict on whether to keep or to delete. I oppose draftification of this article because it will simply delay the inevitable multiple further AFC declines (a painful process when there is no hope) or a rejection, which follows multiple declines and resubmissions where there is no hope. Far better to delete now, perhaps as a soft delete, without prejudice to re-creation when the subject gains notability. FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 00:24, 23 December 2021 (UTC)

Definitely a keep again I'm looking to fix the article up a little so everyone just relax and stop attacking it how can you make these false claims that his marketing team put these out when he doesn't even have a marketing team just me here which is his manager so sad but keeper thanks.Godsentme1 (talk) 01:09, 23 December 2021 (UTC)- Delete A clear case of WP:TOOSOON. May be notable in a few years, but as of present there's not enough significant coverage out there in reliable secondary sources to establish notability. It should also be mentioned that the user desperately trying to have the article kept is a disclosed paid editor on behalf of the article's subject.

The subject is clearly notable these crackers just don’t want to see a black man prevail. This is a case of racism and more. I hope the subject and the editor sue the entire wikimedia for damages on his name. I’m a witness that he’s being targeted and will testify in the court of law. The subject has been covered in multiple news sources independent of the subject?? What is this here? Also the creator of the article by right has 7 to 14 days to improve the article?

Again the subject is notable I'm currently enhancing the article it's been two days since it was nominated for deletion it will be fixed with the proper information thank you.

- WP:HEY is an essay, neither policy nor a guideline, but it doesn't apply anyway. The article is not in better shape now than it was when it was nominated.

Big keep: Go look at the articles talk page I see editor pointed out over 5 pages that’s on Wikipedia right now that don’t belong on the platform and is not notable. Something fishy is going on.🐠 If Ajdaguru is not notable then 75 percent of these articles on the website is not notable. I seen from my own two eyes 👀 articles with dead links and one reference including interviews of subjects. But I see the editor being told that he can’t use interviews. There is a ton of bias things happening here and the subject has been played on national radio. I’m back again to say something is wrong here stop attacking the editor and subject and keep the article. Look at the articles editor pointed out on the talk page go see for yourself half those articles can’t contend with Ajdaguru. Wikipedia should not be bias if they are going to be bias then get rid of this website because that’s not what a encyclopedia is built on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.101.199 (talk) 08:53, 28 December 2021 (UTC) — 76.1.101.199 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.- This argument is a nonstarter. You also don't need to reiterate your position, we got that you want to keep the page from your last argument. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 11:04, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete He has some coverage, for example [55] and [56] and [57] but they look kind of PR'ish. I think he is on the cusp of making it, so I think it is a case WP:TOOSOON, at the moment, as his social media presence is low, while two of his songs are streaming well, but for small crowd. The refs that are there are of a similar type. Too early I think. scope_creepTalk 10:59, 28 December 2021 (UTC)

- Delete If the only review in a RS is in a Dutch outlet for a Canadian film starring two prominent American actors, that's a pretty good indicator that this passed by with minimal notice. In other words, fails the WP:42 test. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 18:45, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Deprodded with "Notable enough to have a page in the Geographic Names Information System; why does Wikipedia have to have a higher standard for notability?" Yes, Wikipedia does in fact have a higher standard for notability because the WP:GNIS does not determine notability at all, it's merely a database of any name that has ever appeared on a map. They have no discretion in determining "notability" and quite frequently make mistakes in their classification! The topo map that the GNIS took its data from clearly shows just a site on the railroad. Several newspapers.com results mentioning the location near Browns Canyon, often as "Browns canon" with lowercase c, without establishing notability. Reywas92Talk 01:05, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

- Comment: In deprodding, the original author of this article said "why does Wikipedia have to have a higher standard for notability," which is still a question we can ask after 20 years of this project. But still, putting that aside, I see "Browns Canon" is listed as a subdivision of Chaffee County on the 1930 U.S. census and at least as far back at 1900. [59]. It also had a post office from 1888-98 and 1904-08. So it may well be notable, I haven't dug too much.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:25, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Post offices and census-tracts are not evidence of legal recognition. One is a business that could be operated off someone's porch, or as part of a store, the other is simply an accounting-unit for population within a larger community. FOARP (talk) 10:18, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
