I don't believe this player meets GNG or NFOOTY. Although his article reports international caps for Gambia, backed up by a BBC interview with him[1], there's no record of him ever playing internationally. Indeed, he claims to have played for his country against Liberia in 2000 but the countries did not meet in that year[2]. This leads me to believe he either lied to the interviewer about his international career, or he represented his country only in non-official games.

As he never played professionally and has received little coverage outside a one-time interview, I don't think he's notable. MarchOfTheGreyhounds (talk) 22:23, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This businessman doen't appear to pass WP:ANYBIO, with neither his business activities nor his family connections sufficient claims of notability. The closest thing to significant coverage I could find is this short article about his wedding, but it reads like routine coverage of a high society wedding and provides very little information on the subject himself.

The result was keep. Consensus is that sourcing is sufficient for it to stand now, thinly skirting GNG, with the release on the immediate horizon. Would be different if it were further out, and our had no hope of future sourcing. Star Mississippi 17:33, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I.S.S. (film)

I.S.S. (film) (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.S.S. (film)

Unreleased film that does not satisfy general notability and so does not satisfy any version of film notability. An article should speak for itself, and this article says nothing about what is notable about the film (because nothing is, because the film doesn't yet exist and its production has not been notable).

There has been a myth for many years that the statement by a reliable source that a film is in production makes the film notable. That has been a myth at least since 2008. Nonetheless, editors often nominate older, little documented films for deletion. There is no real reason why little-documented unreleased films should be more notable than little-documented almost forgotten films. An effort to clarify the film notability guideline resulted in No Consensus, so nothing has changed. The mere fact that a film has been in production does not make it notable unless its production has been notable.

Of the four references, one states that the film was produced, one states that an actress was signed to play in it, one states that it began production, and a paywalled source probably states that it began production.

Reference Number Reference Comments Independent Significant Reliable Secondary
1 fastlaneng.louisianaeconomicdevelopment.com A database of films shot at least partly in Louisiana - lists the film Yes No Probably No
2 Deadline.com Announcement of signing of actress No Not with respect to film Yes No
3 Starnewsonline.com (Wilmington, NC) Paywalled, but apparently states that the film is being filmed No No
4 Varietyinsight States that the film is being filmed in North Carolina Yes No Probably No

Draftification is probably the best action, but after the article has been in article space for months, a unilateral draftification would be inappropriate. There is a content dispute about whether to mention a fact about the film, but the real content issue is whether to have an article. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:28, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The sources do no show that this artists meets our notability criteria

  • issuu.com Issuu is a publishing platform, this magazine, Lanetaneta looks self-published, but it's hard to tell because there is no colophon or information about its editor or even an ISSN.
  • www.mysoutex.com is about one of her students, not her.
  • prayersfromla.org does not mention Barraza-Vega
  • www.mysanantonio.com has single sentence about her which is partly a quote: 'The border and Latino culture play a prominent role in "New Arte Nuevo," notably in works such "El Vato Louie" by Corpus Christi artist Grace Barraza-Vega, who calls her paintings "records of my life," adding, "I am a product of Mestizo culture." '
  • www.youtube.com is a self-published video of her MFA exhibition
  • chimmayaart.com lists her under Exhibiting Artists, but has nothing about her
  • patch.com is an announcement, that lists her under Participating Artists
  • prayersfromla.org is a catalogue of a project that Barraza-Vega helped organize, not independent coverage.
  • feliciamontes.wordpress.com is a blog
  • amigos805.com mentioned as "The exhibition features artists ..., Grace Barraza-Vega, ..."
  • www.alborde.com is a press release
  • kspacecontemporary.org is a dead link
  • expressionsgraphics.wordpress.com is a blog post about a juried art show where Barraza-Vega had an entry.

In summary, there is no significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources and none of the subject-specific notability criteria for artists are met. Vexations (talk) 18:36, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - another artist article by a student editor that does not meet our notability criteria per WP:GNG nor WP:ARTIST. I guess the way these Wiki-Edu projects work is that the students can bypass AfC, and are instructed to move the articles directly to article space and bypass the review process? It's a mystery to me.... Netherzone (talk) 19:28, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps LiAnna (Wiki Ed) can clarify this? As a reviewer for NPP, I'm often left with no one to talk to. By the time the article reaches mainspace and gets reviewed, the students have usually already left. Editor retention is zero. NPP has a sizeable backlog. We're approaching 10,000 articles, and it can take months before an article is reviewed. That causes a complete breakdown in communication. I have never heard back from an instructor, so I don't know if they're even aware of what gets deleted and why. The students are often required to do a peer review, but those seem to be done without any idea of what we require. Vexations (talk) 20:13, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    We used to send students through AfC but the backlog there was so large that articles didn't get looked at until after the end of the term, and you're right many students stop responding at that point. We at Wiki Education try to look at the new articles to ensure they meet notability; I did personally glance at this one but I didn't dig deeper into the particular sources, just noted there seemed to be many of them so assumed it passed notability. Feel free to move it to draft space. We've already noted to discuss notability with this professor before they teach with Wikipedia again. --LiAnna (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:56, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - per the exhaustive research of the nominator. Another example of student work that (as noted) gets finished by the end of the semester and then left to the over-burdened review system to clean-up. What is the job description of (Wiki Ed) anyway? WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 20:18, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article clearly does not meet notability guidelines. I have to admit I think it would be a much better process to limit these students to working on existing articles that need expansion and editing then to send them to create new articles. I also think we should definitely go back to having these articles go through the actual AfC process. I also think we should require all articles to go through the AfC process. Yes it is long, but it is better than what we sometimes get in the current system, which is undersourced articles on non-notable people and even on rare occasions outright hoaxes lasting for over a decade.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:32, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, with regrets. I was hoping someone would turn something else up during this AfD, but it doesn't look like anyone has or will. Sad to see yet another student article from this class go, but the sourcing doesn't hold up and the subject doesn't appear to pass notability guidelines. -- asilvering (talk) 16:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is the point of this article? every craft has a maiden voyage so it will just end up a list of all known ships and planes. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:10, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think pointing out notable maiden voyages, especially notable losses on the maiden voyage of a vessel, is valuable. Maybe the name should be changed? --Nomentz (talk) 16:03, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It is moribund to the point that no one has been bothered to add the most famous maiden voyage loss of all. There is already a category for such articles. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:18, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Which voyage would that be? And why didn't you add it if it's missing? But a parallel category seems superfluous; so are you suggesting to replace appearance in the list by adding to the category? --Nomentz (talk) 16:28, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that is a humongous, gargantuan oversight. Clarityfiend (talk) 12:04, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this article is a Canadian lawyer who, in addition to doing what lawyers do and receiving mention in the press as a result, is also a comic artist. I don't think that suffices to be a notable lawyer. Looking at Category:21st-century_Canadian_lawyers she seems a bit out of place. I'm also not so sure that she meets the threshold of notability per WP:NARTIST. She "published cartoons", according to the article, but "published" here seems to mean self-published on Twitter. What's the consensus here: Is the coverage sufficient to meet the WP:GNG? Vexations (talk) 17:34, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Hi, (I created the article). As you might expect, I think we should keep this article. I submitted it through the AfC process @User:ThadeusOfNazereth was the reviewer and they approved it. More importantly, she meets the general notability criteria on the basis of articles written about her in the Toronto Star, the CBC, and Canada's National Observer. And just in simple real life, she is notable, she's in the news all the time for documenting the lock down protests. I find the line "in addition to doing what lawyers do and receiving mention in the press as a result" strange, because yes lawyers are likely to get in the press for lawyering just like footballers got in the news for kicking a ball and Madonna got in the news for singing, that doesn't discount the coverage in any way with regards to the notability requirements. CT55555 (talk) 20:04, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Weird as it may seem, we don't really pay attention to real life, only to what independent, reliable (secondary) sources say. As for the CBC, she does get a mention like "The clip was captured by Toronto lawyer Caryma Sa'd, who has become a mainstay at such protests this summer, documenting them and sharing them online" in [6], but that's not really significant coverage. As far as I can tell, the only articles that are actually about her are [7], [8] and perhaps [9], although that's mopre about the case of Michael Storms. If the consensus is that that is sufficient to establish notability, I'll gladly accept that. Vexations (talk) 21:43, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment — @Vexations I found it amusing that WP:SIGCOV is also noted as to why the subject is not suited for mainspace just yet, as I used a similar argument when I opened an AFD on one of the article created by this editor, One of the most imperative arguments made by the article creator is that the article in question was approved at AFC, my thinking is the AFC perm has a rather low threshold for issuance, thus editors who aren’t well grounded in policy on notability get this pseudo perm and since they aren’t well grounded in notability criteria areas they tend to accept non notable articles. Celestina007 (talk) 00:59, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    The purpose of AfC is to identify which submissions will be deleted and which won't. Articles that will probably survive a listing at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion should be accepted. I think what we have here is the result of blindly applying a "rule" that reflects praxis. Collectively, we have found that most notable subjects have at least two newspaper articles about them. That then became a test; if there are two newspaper articles, we presume that the subject is notable. That's backwards, and a little too easy for my taste. There is only one group of lawyers that has consistently been found notable; members of the supreme court. This is a young lawyer without a brief career who has received coverage in local newspapers. Do we want to apply the rule that "two is a pass" or do we want to think a bit more carefully about what that means. Vexations (talk) 12:19, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A small, but important detail: in response to the comment that she's only in local newspapers, that's incorrect. Despite the name, Toronto Star is not a local newspaper, it's Canada's #2 newspaper by circulation I also would challenge that Canada's National Observer is local, likewise the CBC and CTV - most of the sources are national. CT55555 (talk) 21:21, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Toronto Star is a local newspaper wen it reports on local issues. They have special sections for regional news. The CBC reports local news at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto CTV, and https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/ is regional news. Vexations (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There are two major national newspapers in Canada, National Post and The Globe and Mail Vexations (talk) 22:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vexations, Alright mate, If I’m interpreting this correctly you want me to close this as a keep and give a well thought detailed rationale for doing so? Alright consider it done. Celestina007 (talk) 23:46, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2350 BC Middle East Anomaly

2350 BC Middle East Anomaly (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)

The source is published by British Archaeological Reports[10] which should mean its reputable, but as it is a collection of papers from the Second Society for Interdisciplinary Studies Cambridge Conference, and SIS is a Velikovskian group[11] I'm pretty dubious. I don't see the term used in mainstream publications or at least when it is with a reference to the SIS report, and I'm not convinced it's used in mainstream academia. For instance, Third Millennium BC Climate Change and Old World Collapse doesn't seem to mention it. Doug Weller talk 16:59, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The below comments make a good case that this should not be a simple redirect. I like Paul H.'s approach of refocusing the article on the parent topic (as it were). --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 23:08, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Delete. In my opinion, the evidence is mixed. I do not see the failure to include it in the 1994 volume cited above as suspicious as it appears to be an idea which has emerged since then. The 1998 volume and its lead editor, Peiser, are fringe, see [12]. However, the author of the 1998 article, Courty, does not seem fringe. His name gets 49 hits in the 1994 volume. I do not think that the idea is fringe, although it appears to have received some fringe support. A source which supports a climate anomaly at 2350 BC but not specifically Middle East, which is an RS so far as I can judge, is Why we shouldn’t ignore the mid-24th century BC when discussing the 2200-2000 BC climate anomaly. However, a single source is not sufficient for notability, so I would not at present oppose deletion. Further evidence may well emerge to justify an article with a title such as Mid-24th century BCE climate anomaly.
The redirect to Umm al Binni lake is not helpful to readers. It now mentions 2350 but just cites the 1998 article and a google search, neither of which are reliable sources. The mention of the lake is in any case just a peripheral speculation about a possible site which for some reason seems to be wrongly regarded by some editors as the main topic of the article. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:16, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Why? The best source I can find on the anomaly at [13] does not mention Umm al Binni lake and is mainly on Irish tree rings. Dudley Miles (talk) 19:32, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
why also? None of the sources that I consulted mention Umm al Binni lake. Paul H. (talk) 20:01, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rename - Revise. Delete. This article conflates two different hypothesis. The first hypothesis is about a climate anomaly about 4,200 BP (2,200 BC). This hypothesis is discussed by several peer-reviewed publications (papers and at least one book chapter). The second and final hypothesis is that this climate anomaly was caused by an extrerrestrial impact. The second hypothesis involves Dr. Marie-Agnes Courty arguing that a dust layer accumulated across the Middle East “...after а disruption of sшfaсе soils, possibly caused by а shock wave well-documented in archaeological sites...” There are published papers and book chapters about this hypothesis by Dr. Marie-Agnes Courty and proponents of coherent catastrophism, e.g. W. Bruce Masse, Mike Baillie and others. I suggest that the article and possibly title be revised to focus on the climate anomaly with only a brief mention of the impact hypothesis as only one of various hypotheses proposed to explain the climate anomaly without giving it undue weight.

The references that I found for both are:

I agree. Only Courty (1997) calls it the "2350 BC Middle East Anomaly". In Courty (1998b) and thereafter, she moved the "2350 BC Middle East Anomaly" event to 4000 BP. Baillie and McAneney (2015) designates their event as the "2200–2000 BC climate anomaly", which groups both events together as one. Finally, Carolin et al. (2091), above, gives the duration of the 4.2 ka event being from 4.26 ka to 3.97 ka, which also means that there is only one instead of two events. Given whether calibrated versus uncalibrated radiocarbon dates are being used and the magnitude of the sigma on them, a difference of 200 years might very well be meaningless. But her event is a regional "airblast." Paul H. (talk) 22:07, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Baillie and McAneney do not group the two events as one. They mention the 2200-2000 BC event and then say "However, it might be unwise to ignore the precisely dated, abrupt environmental downturn that occurs some 150 years earlier." They are using dendro dating, which does not have the same problems as radiocarbon. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:24, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Week keep (and rename). User:Dudley Miles has made a good point that the hypothesis about this climate anomaly is not solely linked to Umm-al-Binni-related musings. But I also agree that if only based on the paper by Baille & McAneney (which is about a "growth downturn" observed in Irish and English oak tree rings "spanning 2354 BC to 2345 BC with hints of inundation", paired with wildly literalist speculations, check out e.g. the Annals of the Four Masters stuff on p. 837 of their paper), this is probably not enough for establishing independent notability. –Austronesier (talk) 21:38, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The sourcing is almost entirely based on conference abstracts, which do not substantiate notability. It's not clear what the supposed renamed article would be titled or about.

Badly sourced biography on someone who possibly fails WP:GNG and does not seem to have any other claim to notability. Google News has nothing. ProQuest has nothing. A Swedish newspaper search yielded a few hits but none of them are relevant to football and most seem to be wedding announcements, childbirth announcements and other routine local paper coverage which doesn't establish encyclopaedic notability (also no indication that they are referring to the footballer of this name). A Swedish source search using DDG was also unsuccessful. I did find one news article about her but the coverage is minimal and not enough to justify an article.

Badly sourced biography. The footballer of this name doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG or any other appropriate guideline. Google News only seems to have coverage relating to the politician of the same name. Likewise when searching in the Swedish newspaper database and DDG.

An article about a student event, referenced only to brief event announcement coverage (and with further such available, such as this promotionally-worded notice (2019). Despite the claims in the article text, such as that it "gained popularity far and wide due to the euphoria and ecstasy it creates", searches are not finding the evidence of notability needed to sustain an article here. I considered redirecting this to the article about the parent institution, where it is mentioned at Birla_Institute_of_Technology_and_Science,_Pilani_–_Goa_Campus#Student_life but a redirect without discussion seems inappropriate as this article was originally accepted at AfC, so I am instead bringing it here.

Keep. Needs lots of cleanup and better sources to be added, but I think there's something salvageable here. Although it's a student event, it seems to have a lot of coverage in the local area.

Soccerway has 14 youth games for Paga and GSA has 4 games but only 52 minutes in a WP:NOTFPL league, therefore, Paga fails WP:NFOOTBALL. All of the cited sources are either stats pages, articles from clubs that he played for or trivial transfer rumours, no significant coverage. Google News has nothing more than a couple of small transfer announcements and DDG only yields Modern Ghana, which is basically a slight rewording of one of the other transfer announcements found through Google News. Paga does not currently pass WP:GNG, in my view. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 16:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Since he was also on the books of San Antonio FC and International Allies F.C., it may not be appropriate to redirect to Vision over those two. Secondly, I'm not sure how Paga would be incorporated at the destination article. With such minor coverage, I'm not sure that he even warrants a mention at Vision F.C..

WP:BLP of a racing driver who has only competed in very minor series and seems to be notable only for one event (winning the Formula Ford Festival). Most coverage is WP:ROUTINE, with this Autosport article and this Formula Scout article coming the closest to providing significant coverage that I can find in a WP:BEFORE search. Two of the Formula Scout articles cited in the article do focus on the subject ("FF1600 star Jonathan Browne to race in Indy Pro 2000 with Turn 3" and "FFord Festival winner Jonathan Browne to join GB3 with Hillspeed"), but both are just fairly routine announcements which both relate back heavily to said FF Festival win. What sourcing there is on this driver would probably be far better used creating articles about the events they have competed in rather than in creating a WP:BLP.

This was a 2015 keep, however I think it's time to look at this in light of current notability standards. This was not discussed at the time, but is an interview/review. I looked through those on their press site as suggested, and they're interviews mostly with Hecht, so not independent. This may be the exception, but I'm not sure it's a reliable source. I also explored creating an article on Hecht as suggested at the AfD, but I don't think there's the sourcing there either. Thoughts?

  6. Critics At Large - following is a quote by Hecht in a review authored by Shlomo Schwartzberg, a film critic and teacher at Ryerson University, Toronto: “Festivals are the lifeline of an independent filmmaker or for that matter any filmmaker, Jewish or not.  Hot Docs is the biggest one. Being in a festival like Hot Docs gets your film noticed. After having two films in it for two years in a row, I can tell you that this alone gives you credibility in the very secluded and often snobbish documentary community. I'm not part of the clique, I do my own thing, and Hot Docs has been amazing in giving me a forum to showcase my work. Indeed it has, as one will discover after some deeper research into his work and the films he has produced. WP:Notability can certainly be elusive in situations like this one. Perhaps my experiences as an NPP reviewer/trainer, and retired TV producer helped guide my search for sources and more information. Based on what I've gleaned, Chutzpa Productions is notable, as is Igal Hecht. If an editor has the time to do the research, the article could be expanded to include a section about Hecht, or perhaps a stand alone BLP is an option worth considering. As a sidebar - I wanted to share this little tidbit about notability as it has proven quite useful in some of my training exercises for the NPP school. Atsme 💬 📧 02:23, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • and slightly too to @Gidonb as it's similar. So many interviews with Hecht. Do they really establish creative notability? It doesn't seem clear whether they work in a way they don't for the company since he's not independent of it. Star Mississippi 14:25, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for your diligence and for asking questions. I have no doubt that the sources in my list establish notability - see WP:NRV. The few sources I found (in 10 minutes or less & there are more) are indeed "independent of the subject" and are not produced by Chutzpuh or Hecht or affiliated in some way (advertising, press releases, autobiographies, subject's website, etc.). If you get a chance, please read User talk:Atsme#Notability as there are many parallels relative to notability in general.

hi Star they are interviews with him, and they discuss him - if someone/some company is the featured focus of an article, than that is legitimate RS.I wouldn't think that's the same as churnalism, which is basically republishing a press release form the company.

  • Move to Igal Hecht. While the sources Atsme have provided demonstrate notability, the notable entity isn't this production company, but the filmmaker himself. It would seem like Hecht is effectively synonymous with this company to the point that a find+replace of "Chutzpah Productions" with "Igal Hecht" in addition to a move would result in no practical difference to the article itself. On a more pragmatic basis the article would no longer have to be considered under WP:NORG in that case. Chess (talk) (please use {{reply to|Chess}} on reply) 19:40, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/Draftify Article needs significant cleanup, expansion and additional sources, Bilibili is China-only, and all sources are currently primary. These are obstacles the article has to overcome, that much I agree with the nominator. But, the premise of the AfD is not satisfactory to me. If Bilibili is not a notable video service in any form, Bilibili should be the target? That's a whole can of worms, which is why I'd like to focus on the state of the article. Just how new the article is, is a problem. It was nominated for AfD barely a day after creation - and even if other editors came across, a lack on interest in this subject area and scarcity of English-language sources are barriers to improvement. So, I'd say that a more suitable solution is tagging the article for primary sources/other issues, to flag it to others, but given it's entirely primary at the moment it's understandable if that's not acceptable. That's why I think the best solution would be myself and hopefully others - stepping in and to help improve this article. If participants believe it must be removed from mainspace immediately, moving it to draftspace or userspace is a solution that would work. I've gathered at least 5 reliable (at least as far as I can tell) secondary sources after just a quick search, and believe I can both expand the article, and replace at least some of the existing sources. This source in particular indicates that they have far more original series than the article currently lists, for example. However, given the numbers listed there alone, I also think it's likely that article expansion - if I plan and implement it properly - would substantially increase the size of the article, which could hurt the case to merge (given it's a list, WP:SIZESPLIT is limited at best for this discussion anyway, but I figured I'd address this.) I'll get started on implementing some changes shortly - reducing primary sources below like, 50%, much less 10-20% will be difficult, but I'll focus on expansion first, then replacing- input, thoughts and help expanding the article is welcome!

  • Keep per WP:HEY, WP:SIZESPLIT. Since the AfD started, this list has been quite significantly expanded, so much so that a merge would make the Bilibili page far WP:TOOLONG. Cunard above has also shown that there appears to be coverage of these series as a group in Chinese, thus also meeting WP:NLIST. While this uses primary sources too much, this is a problem that can be fixed by cleanup, which deletion is not. Link20XX (talk) 05:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The old church here is hugely photogenic and is endlessly photographed, in no small part because it stands alone by the side of the road, a short distance from an abandoned gas station which appears to have opened in the mid 1980s, replacing a pair of buildings on the opposite side of the road. Sources imply those buildings included a store at some point, but this is another place where there's no sign anyone actually lived here. Mangoe (talk) 03:25, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage is interesting, though I don't know that I'd call it extensive, as it is more or less the same story repeated at intervals, with some variation due to the passage of time. But more importantly, it's about the post office and the postmaster, and there's precious little about any town except for the assumption that there was one, and some passing mention of the church. It tends to ratify my analysis that the only thing ever here was the store/PO and the church, and that there was never any encompassing settlement. I think the notability claim is a stretch at best, but if it survives, it wouldn't be an article about a town. Mangoe (talk) 04:19, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That is not how discussions have gone of late, and in any case, the bigger issue here is that the evidence is that this was not a "community". It was a post office operating out of a store. We have routinely deleted these. Mangoe (talk) 03:25, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Previous discussion ended in no consensus, however, this film still does not have enough to pass WP:NFILM. Merely being shown at Festivals does not guarantee notability. Hopefully a second discussion will come with a firm result. DonaldD23 talk to me 02:00, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'll grant that I was the nominator the first time, but neither the issues nor the sourcing here have actually changed. An editor removed the maintenance tags in October, without actually addressing the substance of the reasons why they were added in the first place: there's absolutely no evidence of WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about the film being shown here at all, except for a brief glancing mention of the film's existence in an article about its director (which is not enough in and of itself). Simply being shown at film festivals is not a notability freebie in the absence of published reviews of the film by professional film critics in real media, and "notability because awards" is not automatically fulfilled by every award presented by just any old film festival that exists: that attaches only to a narrow elite tier of film festivals (Cannes, Berlin, Toronto, Sundance, etc.) whose awards can be shown to garner media coverage, and not to film festivals whose awards have to be cited to the festival's own self-published website about itself because media coverage doesn't exist. That is, an award has to be a notable award (i.e. an award that the media considers important enough to cover as news) in order to make its winners notable for winning it. But the award claims here are cited to primary sources, not media coverage, which means they aren't notability-making awards. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the film from having to be sourced a lot better than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:34, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is not enough independent and reliable sources to prove its notability. If we take a look at the sources in the Kurdish Wikipedia article, this one is mostly an interview (non-independent), here is a poem of him, and this one is completely an interview. The only source in the English article is this, and it mentions about his visit to a foundation, which doesn't provide us any notable information to add to the article.
