Jelena Đurović

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

This individual lacks notability and more importantly some information seems fabricated. For example, the article claims this individual to be "Vice President of the Jewish Community of Montenegro" but it is not true (the current website contradicts its previous version); ditto for "Chairwoman of OJC SEE". Also, "As a journalist, she works as film and TV critic", however she doesn't work for any notable media outlets, apart from her own blog, which is practically unknown but nevertheless advertised here.

Weak keep There's this, from the World Jewish Congress, [3], I assume is a RS and not related to the subject of this AfD. Plenty of sources in Serbian?, which I can't assess to notability or not using Gtranslate. Oaktree b (talk) 13:48, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Very Promo. An article about raising funds and an interview with the founder don't contribute much towards notability. I can't find any other sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 14:43, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I'd say the amount of coverage from The National, Gulf Business, and Gulf News is sufficient, despite the promotional nature of the article. SWinxy (talk) 20:29, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I haven't taken a super close look at the sources so no comment on whether those are independent, but I've done some c/e and removed some of the promo tone. Hope that helps. Blue Edits (talk) 10:35, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete lacks indepth coverage fails wP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:47, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - I think that the The National and Gulf News coverage could begin to establish a case for notability, but they do have a veneer of promotionality to them. The Gulf Business coverage is one step worse in this capacity, as it uses a collective byline. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:27, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. For the most part I agree with Rosguill's analysis, but the Gulf Business articles read clearly of being press releases to me, Gulf News slightly less so, and both of them would fall under the standard notices/routine coverage parts of CORPDEPTH, so I am comfortable eliminating them entirely. Rest of the ghits seem more of the same. Two marginal articles from the same newsorg then, does not NCORP make. Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List of Jewish American psychologists

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

This list had its entire contents blanked other than the intro in 2019 due a complete lack of citations. There has not been anyone added back to list the since then. It seems that at the very least if this were deleted it would possibly be constructed to an appropriate standard under WP:REDYES or at least would not be an article that at the current moment does not provide the information from the title.

On seeing this title I thought that "Jewish American psychologists" must be an unencyclopedic cross-categorization, but then I saw this book and found that they were listed extensively there. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:15, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, can you pls cite the exact page of the book? Thanks. Cinadon36 18:48, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The whole book is about Jewish American psychologists, as can be seen by the page that I linked above. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure about that. It is not evident by the title or the contents. Cinadon36 20:50, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Really? What about the contents of Part III (pages 87-194)? Phil Bridger (talk) 13:05, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is certainly not about the Jewish American Psychologists. It is about "jewish morality and the psychological shift of of American Culture" (part III title). Cinadon36 21:18, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Even if there's one source list about Jewish American psychologists, that's not enough to satisfy WP:NLIST, which requires multiple sources discussing the set. The list has been empty for over 3 years. At best this is a WP:TNT candidate that can be remade from scratch should someone decide to make a list with proper citations.

Boardman Plaza

Completing nomination on behalf of IP. Rationale from talk page It is a shopping plaza with no major significance and does not come close to anything WP:GNG. Just because of the companies who it does not make it worth an article. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 12:13, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: There is no significant widespread coverage of this plaza. A lot of this information is trivia or mundane business operations, and there doesn't appear to be anything discussing its impact or depth in terms of history. Maxx-♥ talk and coffee ☕ 13:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep starting on pg. 95 here[4] there's discussion of the plaza's role in regional development, as an early property in the DeBartolo portfolio, and an early example of the transition to the shopping center in the 1950s. If we don't keep the separate article, it should merge to Boardman Township, Mahoning County, Ohio, where it is mentioned. Jahaza (talk) 21:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is only really a start. I don't think the vast bulk of information in the article is worth merging, however. The NYT article and this book could be worth a mention. Maxx-♥ talk and coffee ☕ 12:19, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Does not meet WP:NCORP nor WP:GNG criteria for notability. No inherent notability WP:ORGSIG. It's a run-of-the-mill strip mall, like thousands of others in the U.S. WP:MILL. Netherzone (talk) 23:15, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NPOV, also edited substantially by editors with COI and has had virtually no expansion from anyone else Toffeenix (talk) 09:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Page history shows that the article was hijacked from a redirect in 2022 and all of the substantial edits since are from that user + one user who is accused of being the same user on their talk page. Looking past the WP:REFBOMB, as far as I can tell the only significant coverage is in the Monacomatin ref-- everything else is primary/an interview or a trivial mention in cast lists of reality show participants. There is a blog review of a song but that hardly establishes notability, so no WP:GNG. With no significant chart performance I don't think he satisfies WP:NMUSIC either.

Delete. The chart seems to indicate he had a song chart in Billboard in Luxembourg; the link given doesn't confirm that. Appears to be a HOAX for that particular claim (text says he charted in spotify in Luxembourg, which isn't notable in wiki). Rest appears PROMO. Delete for not meeting NMUSIC or GNG.

Delete. The organization no longer exists, from what I can see. All of the references added seem to point to an organization that just "disappeared".

Comment So 3 references got to do with the name of the organisation, which is WP:PRIMARY, 1 around the trademark, which is the name again, and one Ref 1, which comes from the organisation itselfs. 4 routine references and a WP:PRIMARY ref. None of these reference are independent and they fail WP:NCORP, specifically WP:SIRS. They are absolutely junk and don't prove the organisation is notable. scope_creep^Talk 23:27, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 1 is from The Chicago Tribune and mentions the setting up of the organisation here, reference 3 is about their opposition to gay marriage,ref 4 is about the organisation changing their name which is obviously relevant. Not great coverage but it is independent and relevant imv Atlantic306 (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The best you say about it, is that it verifies it existed, but the coverage is routine. Establishing an organisation and changing their name have been considered to fail WP:SIRS for about a decade. Its routine coverage. And its an affiliated news story for the Tribune. scope_creep^Talk 23:16, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I don't get all the keeps. The reference being held up as the best one is just a passing mention. The entirety of what the Chicago Tribune says is this: Two years ago, dissidents formed the American Unitarian Conference, saying liberal politics had overtaken the church. The conference's president, Virginia attorney David Burton.... The entirety of the Bangor Daily News article says David Burton of the American Unitarian Conference, a group calling the church to return to its theological roots, said Unitarian Universalist is a religion that does not have much religion left in it. Both of these then have a quote from Burton... and that's it. No information about the church other than, effectively, it's mission statement. The other two real sources cited, the Spokesman Review and the Gadsen Times ... are the same AP article. So it changed its name. That's clearly the best source of the bunch in terms of depth, and it's a pretty routine announcement that was published because the UU is notable, not because the AUC is notable. It merits inclusion in the UU article, not the creation of a separate one about an entity we can say almost nothing about. My own search for sources found a lot more copies of Wikipedia than anything else. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 00:25, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - two solid references establish notability. ~~The Associated Press (AP) article in the Bangor Daily News provides a reliable, non-trivial reference for the article.~~ There's also the Associated Press article from the Gadsden Times about the dispute with the main Unitarian Universalist Association.

Other refs: the shorter AP article from the Spokane Spokesman-Review doesn't add much. The Chicago Tribune article does a good job of covering the theological issues but is not about this organization. danielharper.org is a blog.

Comment It appears that editor @Siroxo: has made a source analysis table that shows that there is no valid sourcing on the article, but not actually made a comment or a !vote in support of the table entry. Bit odd I think, but I guess its ok, as the intent is there. scope_creep^Talk 16:10, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete even after considering new sources, the article does not have reasonable enough sources. Merging the article could happen as suggested (really it seems as though a number of Unitarian stubs could be combined into a singular article about Unitarian conferences/groups/organisations but that feels a but a bit off topic).

I think the article would need a significant amount of information added by new sources to be a constructive addition. Pedantical (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Would need to pass NCORP and it doesn't even approach it. I agree with Siroxo's source analysis. I don't think that there is meaningful content to be merged. List of Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist churches does not mention this topic so a redirect would make sense only after the fact, i.e. after someone has hypothetically added it to the list, but it's questionable if it should be included in the list in the first place, when considering WP:CSC -- considering this AfD, as this is now provenly a non-notable organization, and if the list is a CSC-type-1 list (every member notable or a promising red link), which appears to be the case, it should not be included in the list. Therefore the article should not be redirected. Or merged. It should be deleted.—Alalch E. 08:18, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to International Seed Testing Association as an WP:ATD - Very little of the discussion so far has focused on specifics. Obviously, the vast majority of the CV/promotional stuff needs to be removed, but I'm just interested in notability. I don't see that he qualifies for WP:NPROF, despite his published research (about 200 citations on Scopus). He is the focus of an article in the Telangana Today (1), with an additional mention (2). I also found this interview. To me, this looks like it narrowly misses WP:GNG, so I recommend deletion. A suitable merge target is available as an alternative to deletion.

Not finding anything other than basic listings that do not contribute to notability. None of the four sources in the article contribute to notability. Pretty clear case of when to draftify, but that's been done and the creator immediately moved it back to mainspace, so another unilateral draftify would be a poor idea.

I believed that Wikipedia was a free encyclopedia while creating this, and I assumed that anyone could make an article on anything. Apparently that isn’t the case. I’m not sure why you can’t make an article if you are even slightly related to the subject that it’s on. This article was written knowing that it would be updated when the game was released, and due to the nature of the project (indie 3d platformer) it was near-impossible to get any major sources to cover the game. Unfortunately, I can’t not make a Wikipedia page because then Google results and YouTube gaming wouldn’t show my game, it would show a mountain in Colorado or just the word Roblox. I’m not using or attempting to use this article for promotion, but I need it to use other methods of promotion. If anyone would be willing to try to remove and rewrite whatever I did wrong, that would be less devastating to this project than deleting it and much appreciated.

TL;DR not sure what I did wrong other than write an article about a topic I liked but if someone or multiple people could help fix it instead of deleting it, that would be much appreciated

Cjamsla511 (talk) 10:28, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia. That doesn't mean anything and everything can be included. You may want to read WP:NOT for more insight.

You can make an article if you're related, and people have done it, but it's much harder to be neutral and objective, especially when you get benefits if the article exists/is positive (which is your case). Also, using the Wikipedia page to generate Google and YouTube Gaming results is promotion.

We work with the sources, that's the rule. If you can't get sources to cover your game, we don't have much to work with. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 19:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason why G7 doesn't apply here, but I could be missing something. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 00:43, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is a question of whether the blank was done in "good faith" or as part of an attempt to evade scrutiny. Hence I think an AfD is still justified. After all, they ultimately refused to leave it as a draft. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:47, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I also see that their block appeal claims they were being "targeted" which seems to indicate they have read literally nothing in terms of notices or warnings they were given about notability, nor any of the policies, which would explain what is going on pretty clearly.

Keep The fact that he was a deputy is verified by THREE obituaries about him: the one in Lenin Bayragi cited in the article, the obituary for him in Pravda Vostoka (the largest Russian language newspaper of Uzbekistan), the obituary for him in Sovet Uzbekistoni (the largest Uzbek language newspaper of Uzbekistan at the time), and having your obituary in a national newspaper is a big deal. Despite the claims of some people about being “thorough” in research looking for information that is clearly not the case because they could have easily found the obituaries I linked if only they just bothered to look in the right place, or even just bothered to read the obituary in Lenin Bayragi that the article already uses which says that he was a deputy. Sadly this problem afflicts lots of Uzbek articles…it wasn’t long ago that our most highly decorated scientist Toshmuhammad Sarimsoqov (The head of the Uzbek Academy of Sciences and recipient of the highest Soviet civil honor Hero of Socialist Labor) was shrugged off as non-notable by another non-Uzbek. So please stop assuming that there is no press on someone just because you can’t find it because there is a chronic problem with English Wikipedia editors not being able to find Uzbek media materials--Salazarov^(chat) 11:45, 28 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep based on WP:BAND#5 and specifically releases on Bar None, which has acts like Alex Chilton and the Feelies in its roster.

Really no other justification for keep. The lack of sources speaks loudly for a band with this long a tenure, and although I disagree with nom that the HuffPo article is a press release, it's an interview which makes it questionable as a WP:RS. It seems Serpa himself gets more press than this band; might be easier to source as an article about him with the band as a sub-heading (but I'm not proposing or volunteering).

Maryanne Oketch

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

Sure, being historically the second black woman to win Survivor, the Survivor 42 winner, and one of Canadian winners of Survivor is something to rave about. However, even potentially meeting WP:GNG and/or WP:NBASIC may not override the article's noncompliance with WP:BLP1E (or WP:BIO1E) and, if applicable, WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. I've yet to see her being notable for anything else outside Survivor, especially by reliable sources. Must be redirected to Survivor 42. George Ho (talk) 22:21, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've added a few more sources, there are quite a few others, that touch on her personal life. I think she passes GNG, and I think it's a stretch to say that the intention of the BLP1E policy is to keep those people who are of great interest to the public off Wikipedia. But that's just my reading of it. Quick, Spot the Quetzalcoatl! (talk) 18:55, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll clarify what I said before: the main issue is not her compliance with GNG but rather the article's suitability (and appropriateness) in this project. Curiously, but why else do you think Maryanne is one of people who are of great interest to the public... besides winning Survivor 42? From what I can see, the reliable source that you added doesn't verify her notability as a church employee or volunteer, despite being a fact. Rather the source emphasizes more on her winning Survivor 42. George Ho (talk) 01:25, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I can see the BLP1E argument, given the ongoing coverage of her win in the Canadian media, even recently. In particular there's a December 2022 Toronto Star piece on the Top 10 winners and losers of 2022, where she's listed along with household names like Tamara Lich and Kieran Moore - ProQuest 2754408882, along with an interview a couple of months ago on Entertainment Tonight where she discusses the possibility of appearing in Big Brother. As such the requirement in WP:BLP1E that "person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" is not met; see in particular the first bullet of WP:What BLP1E is not#"One dominant event". Nfitz (talk) 23:19, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Toronto Star's top-ten winners and losers list contextually (if not merely) covers Maryanne as a Survivor winner and nothing else. Also, the ET Canada interview is more of a primary source than secondary one and may not count as verification of her (supposed) notability. Besides winning Survivor 42, how else is she more of a high-profile individual instead of a low-profile one? George Ho (talk) 09:43, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sources to show that the person doesn't meet BLP1E with ongoing coverage do not need to be GNG sources. The article should have GNG sources about the subject - and it does. Nfitz (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ Redirect to Survivor 42. Although it is well-sourced, but it definitely falls fowl of WP:BLP1E. Tommy Sheehan, another Survivor winner, was closed as delete, and the argument for BLP1E was way more marginal because he had appeared in another show for three episodes.

Tagging in previous reviewer @Mattdaviesfsic:, draftifier @Robert McClenon:, and the editor who moved the draft to mainspace, @Edison18273:.
Keep. Three different American newspapers chose to run a story about the ambush. The article suggests that the Račak massacre was in response to this ambush. The book reference suggests that coverage extended beyond the timeframe of the ambush. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:16, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – This is a case where the originator acted as if they were trying to push a non-encyclopedic article into article space. On examination of the sources (but without reading the book), I conclude that the author was trying to push an encyclopedic article into article space. Perhaps the author could have spared themselves this AFD by communicating with reviewers, but the only question for this AFD is whether the event meets event notability criteria.

Ambush near Kosovska Mitrovica

Reference Number	Reference	Comments	Independent	Significant	Reliable	Secondary
1	Southeast Missourian	Associated Press account	Yes	Not really, local coverage of a national account	Yes	Yes
2	Chicago Tribune		Yes	Yes, because Chicago Tribune is a nationally important newspaper	Yes	Yes
3	Deseret News	Same Associated Press account as 1	Yes	Sort of. Coverage by multiple local or regional papers has a national quality	Yes	Yes
4	A book	As Eastmain said	Yes	Probably	Yes	Yes

The notability guideline says that national coverage is preferred over local or regional coverage. The Chicago Tribune is a nationally important newspaper. The publication of the Associated Press account (national) by at least two newspapers in different parts of the United States should count as weak national coverage. The mention in a book indicates that historians at least occasionally take note of the battle. When in doubt as to whether a battle should be covered, covering the battle seems like the right answer.

Robert McClenon (talk) 02:46, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Both of these arguments hang on the book being a solid reference. Can anyone get a copy of the book and see what it says there? I'm unconvinced that it's actually about the subject of the article in any significant way - it looks like it might just be about the subsequent massacre, which is undoubtedly notable (Račak massacre). This event is already mentioned there, in "background", and I don't see that this article adds much more than what is already there. -- asilvering (talk) 04:06, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilvering: I was able to retrieve the book and find the relevant passage. To answer your question, no, it doesn't actually deal with the subject of the article in any significant way. In case the page is inaccessible, it's a sub section titled "In Focus:The Racak Incident" and summarizes the lead up to NATO intervention in Kosovo, dealing with violence in the Stimlje region in particular, leading up to the Račak massacre. This is the only part where the incident is mentioned: On 8 January 1999, the KLA carried out a well-prepared ambush near Dulje (west of Stimlje) in which three Serbian policemen were killed and one was wounded.

That's the extent of it. And like you mentioned, it's already mentioned in the massacre article. --Griboski (talk) 18:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Griboski Thank you so much for checking in on this! -- asilvering (talk) 19:35, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No. My argument to keep the article is not dependent on whether the book is a solid reference, but only whether the newspapers are independent secondary sources. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:24, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow - you have only 4 sources in the table, 1-3 are the same, and 4 is not significant coverage. -- asilvering (talk) 19:34, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All the newspaper references are identical texts word for word, relaying and copying the Associated Press report, so it's really one source. It is common for local and national newspapers to publish stories from the AP. The key part from WP:EVENTCRITERIA is the event's lasting impact and depth of coverage. It had some impact, sure, in that it was one event in a long series that led to the Račak massacre. The depth of coverage is minuscule, and little to write about the event itself if we were to extrapolate the meat of the information available. Hardly enough for a stand-alone articule when it is already covered in the massacre article's background section. --Griboski (talk) 18:55, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. You can find all of the significant coverage in the world, but if it's all from directly after the event, then it's not WP:SUSTAINED coverage and therefore the subject is not notable. There's also nothing here worth merging into Račak massacre, and it's already mentioned at Timeline of the Kosovo War, which is probably the most appropriate place for a non-notable event like this.
