- Delete page has only 3 sources and they collectively don't help with notability criteria. I don't think redirecting to Jeeva (artist) helps either.CourtseyDriver (talk) 23:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Article fails WP:MUSIC. A search on both general Google results and Google Books finds no significant secondary source material about this song. There is no inherent notability just because this is the school song for a notable university. Arbor to SJ (talk) 05:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- It is good to Merge to San Jose State University. I agree with Arbor to SJ that this song by itself is not notable. --TheLonelyPather (talk) 13:06, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs and California. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 18:19, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- If this does get kept then it needs to be moved to Hail! Spartans, Hail! since that's the actual name of the song. However, it certainly should not be kept with just the sources on page since those are clearly all primary and do not convey notability. No time to check for sources myself so I don't have an actual vote here, but if the nominator's search turning up nothing holds true for other editors then a merge/redirect like TheLonelyPather suggested would be the most appropriate action.

The company by itself does not meet the criteria for WP:ORG or WP:ORGIND. Yes, there's a good number of sourcing. However, the coverage is basically an aggrandizing Forbes profile about the founder and trade publication reporting about routine real estate transactions. Longhornsg (talk) 07:07, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

- Redirect to Nate Paul as per ATD and suggestions below.
DeleteI agree, the references fail GNG/WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability. As pointed out above, the vast majority either regurgitate company announcements or other PR or are not "Independent Content" relying on information provided by an executive/founder.

- Comment: we have well-sourced article about Nate Paul, World Class's colorful founder and an alleged felon. He's very notable and is at the center of the impeachment of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Maybe we just don't need this article, too.

- Some coverage the paid editors left out: [1][2]
- Unfortunately all the details are in the Austin Business Journal article which is behind a paywall. If we keep this article, we'll need sources to update the article for the bankruptcies.

Relisting comment: Final relist.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ArcAngel (talk) 23:55, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- redirect to Nate Paul. Although I suspect WP:NCORP might be satisfied by profiles of Paul (the Forbes article isn't so aggrandizing if you read down to the section starting "when you are") the focus is on him. The article does a good job of laying out his history of oh-so-many real estate developments but that isn't getting the meaty news coverage, just the owner. Oblivy (talk) 03:50, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Fails WP:SPORTCRIT. Only a primary source supplied. 2 gnews hits, one being the unreliable WP:DAILYMAIL. LibStar (talk) 23:41, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Luckily the Daily Mail has been removed from this article, as it rightly should be from every article where it does not play a significant role. Even then, how is Oldfield a notable athlete by our standards? InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 03:45, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

No indication of notability except as the birth place of a terrorist. Delete or redirect to Joseph Kony. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 13:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC) Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 13:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Geography-related deletion discussions. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment isn't this a settlement though? I generally argue to keep most villages, but I have to agree that this one doesn't seem notable. Nothing in Google Books,and all hits on scholar are for authors. Kony of course is himself notable but that doesn't transfer just because he was born there. Maybe if he had operated from there at some point in time. If the settlement rule does not apply here, this vote can be counted as delete. Elinruby (talk) 23:57, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
- Quite literally the only content in the article, and, indeed, the only content I can find elsewhere, is in connection to Kony. No population figures, no rough history, nothing. Unhelpful to the reader: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and Notability is not inhereted. Edward-Woodrow :) [talk] 10:58, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - I've done some poking around, and from what I can tell Odek is at 2°40′48″N 32°43′41″E / 2.680°N 32.728°E (don't ask me why Google Maps calls it "Omor", the school and medical center are both "Odek"). I came across a few news articles that mention Odek or "Odek Subcounty" within the Omoro District ([7] [8] [9]). This source mentions a former LRA camp at Odek, and this map from OCHA has Odek as a village within Odek Subcounty. At the very least we could merge into a new article for Odek Subcounty. AviationFreak💬 16:04, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. It is listed as a Sub County/Town Council at [10], so it appears to be a verifiable village/lowest level political subdivision. Sourcing is very thin though. Our coverage of Ugandan local government is lacking, many of the pages use old maps that don't include Oromo District which was split from Gulu in 2016. We definitely keep U.S. and European settlements of similar size and self-government, but they also almost always have more useable sources. Eluchil404 (talk) 08:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: I'm usually not a fan of WP:NEXIST, but in this case, I think it's fair to say that there are probably plenty of offline sources on this. It's true that sources on similarly-sized towns in Europe and the US are often more accessible, but we shouldn't delete based on that. If anything, it indicates that comparable sources exist for this village, just outside of our reach. Actualcpscm (talk) 19:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Not notable. QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 16:42, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

- Keep Granted, the article is in sad shape and is one that I've got on my list to improve, but the artist meets WP:BAND #5 having multiple releases on 21st Circuitry (a notable indie that was acquired by Metropolis, another notable indie); most of his work under this moniker (and hence coverage) was in the 1990s though he has some releases post-2017, therefore most coverage is not found easily on the web. There may also be opportunity for expansion as Peter Stone to cover his work in video games. -- t_kiehne (talk) 19:28, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: It's clear the article meets the criteria for notability (comparable to the Ministry of Sound article). The article definitely needs expansion with more sources, but that by itself is an insufficient reason for deletion, unless we want to delete most of the stub articles across Wikipedia. — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 02:35, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Given the poor sourcing, I think we should get more opinions on this article. The nominator is requested to provide a more complete deletion rationale in future nominations...more than 2 words would be helpful.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and United States of America. DonaldD23 talk to me 17:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak Keep because the film seems to have been screened at 4 festivals and is mentioned in the book quoted in the article; if not redirect to Ann Cusack, because many sources not on the page mention the film only because she's in it.-MY, OH MY! (mushy yank) 17:38, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Week Keep per above and book mention [12]. DareshMohan (talk) 17:51, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

- University of Queensland Debating Society (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)
A batch of university debate societies that all fail notability. Coverage tends to fall into one of the following categories:
- Primary source to university newspaper
- Passing mention as the venue for a talk
- Coverage mentioning that a notable person attended said society. Notability is not WP:INHERITED
- WP:ROUTINE coverage of a good result at a competition. Insufficient for GNG and per WP:NTEAM, GNG is the standard here.
There's a lot of high quality original research here, but alas I don't think any that can be saved without WP:TNT. As a result, I'm also nominating the following articles:
- Queen's_Debating_Union
- Otago_University_Debating_Society
- UCC_Philosophical_Society
- Literary_and_Debating_Society_(University_of_Galway)
- University_Philosophical_Society
- Literary_and_Historical_Society_(University_College_Dublin)
- University_College_Dublin_Law_Society
- Literary_and_Scientific_Society_(Queen's_University_Belfast)
- Glasgow_University_Dialectic_Society
There's a lot more that don't make the cut, but I'll stick to 10 for now and see what reception is like. It sucks to delete so much hard work. There are some debating societies that are undoubtedly notable, but many that unfortunately are not.

- Comment - if you want to float a trial balloon, I'd suggest doing it with one article, not ten. Another way to go might be to redirect the various articles to their associated school BOLDly, and then bringing any you get pushback on to AfD. This discussion seems pretty unworkable, and the lack of participation seems to bear that opinion out. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 23:42, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- I floated the one at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Law_Society,_University_College_Cork and the consensus was strong there. I've tried to follow the process for WP:MULTIAFD here, not sure what else I can do. In the spirit of AfD I'll leave open this vote, but if it looks like it will close with no consensus I will boldly play the executioner. BrigadierG (talk) 07:51, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- The idea that the University Philosophical Society "fail[s] notability" is absolutely bizarre and utterly false. The University Philosophical Society is the oldest student society in the world, while also remaining the largest society (not just debating society) in all of Trinity, Ireland's top ranked university. It has a deep and complex history, which is well documented in the wikipedia article. The wikipedia article remains (for now) the main source of information about the Society on the internet. Deleting it would achieve absolutely nothing at all yet be a huge loss for anyone researching such a pivotal society in Irish history. I strongly recommend that such an informative article be kept online. 46.7.206.148 (talk) 19:10, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: I agree with the previous commenter, I think probably dealing with these individually is the way to go. I'm only interested in Otago University Debating Society which on the face of it seems to me to arguably meet WP:GNG through articles such as [16], although I agree that the article contains a lot based on primary sources and original research too; whether it does meet the thresholds could probably be debated (hah). Procedurally, I think it's better and clearer to consider each of these articles individually. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. Dealing these together makes no sense. Just close this and start again. --Bduke (talk) 10:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Procedural keep. This is way too many to deal with at once. The results are likely to be heterogeneous as in addition to the possibility of keeps, like University Philosophical Society, merges/redirects are also possible (and should have been considered before the articles were brought here.) --Jahaza (talk) 02:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

- --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 00:22, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- The Financial Mail is a trade publication with a circulation (according to its Wikipedia page!) of ~19,000. A profile in a trade publication does not make a person notable. Is it a publication of record? Like a major national newspaper or financial newspaper? The trouble with magazines like this one is that they very often take money for publication. Also, it's one article. Is that all it takes to be notable enough to end up with a Wikipedia bio?
- Let's remember that Wikipedia is often misused by people as an enhanced LinkedIn. There are providers who sell article generation and maintenance for self-promotion as a service. I think that's what is going on here, and we have a responsibility to fight that kind of misuse. Rhombus (talk) 16:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

- There is no requirement that a source be a "publication of record" - but it's a useful rule of thumb, and I mention it to encourage some thought about what it means for a source to be high-quality.
- Paid-subscription publications take money for editorial content all the time, and if anything, this problem is getting worse, not better. This is especially true of trade publications. I don't yet see any evidence that this is a reliable source. The onus should be on the person citing to establish that a source is reliable. Rhombus (talk) 09:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep'. I added several references, including a replacement for the broken one. He's probably notable both as a player and as a coach/manager.

The articles I found at Newspapers.com and ProQuest are also passing mentions like match reports. I had hoped the Sunday Times article would have more but it turns out it is about "fly-on-the-wall documentaries" with the only mention of Lakin being "First, the co-manager John Sitton sacked his friend, the long-serving defender Terry Howard. Then, he offered to fight players Barry Lakin and Mark Warren". The bottom line is: There is no WP:SIGCOV for this lower-league player and coach. Robby.is.on (talk) 11:02, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - I agree with Robby.is.on that the newly added sources do not come close to significant coverage.

- @SportingFlyer:
not every source in the article meets WP:GNG but enough do
Which ones? Robby.is.on (talk) 21:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)- Eh, most of them are non-league. I'm still surprised he's been covered comprehensively and routinely for non-league stuff but we can't find a single source on him during his Leyton Orient days. Common sense would say that this would be easily sourced if he had played twenty years later. SportingFlyer T·C 22:10, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see how the coverage could possibly be described as "comprehensive". All references in the article are extremely short, barely going beyond "Lakin has agreed to take over as manager at <club>". Robby.is.on (talk) 22:20, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's not comprehensive in the sense any one individual article is particularly comprehensive, but rather that in terms of non-league he would frequently be written about routinely. It's just frustrating - I don't have the ability to search for 1990s era sources or to even check which teams he scored against in the league, whereas now with the loss of the SNGs we have minor league baseball players who easily pass GNG even though they've accomplished nothing sporting (this is just a rant you can ignore.) It's clearly been an untended garden for a long time looking at the history, but I'm surprised a player in the old Division Two would never have been covered significantly, and the fact it's been in such poor shape for a long time reflects either that there's nothing out there or that pre-internet sources can be difficult to find. At worst, we should redirect to a list of Leyton Orient players, since we can WP:V the fact he played for them. SportingFlyer T·C 23:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know how complete Newspapers.com and ProQuest are but as mentioned above they threw up quite a few match reports but zero SIGCOV. (You can get access to both Newspapers.com and ProQuest through Wikipedia Library.) We're lucky to have these resources for English players, many other countries don't have archives like that at all which results in articles of players being deleted with record number of appearances or goals for their national teams.

- Keep - I found [19], [20] (""The eccentric left" has come to make a name for itself in the North. Because in the South, this 23-year-old young man, born in Corsica, trained in Bastia, is referenced. If he could not win in Ligue 2 with Bastia (a few games, 1 goal), he has bounced back in the last two seasons with Gazélec d'Ajaccio. Foued Kahlaoui thus scored 9 goals in 2007-2008 and above all 14, this season, in the CFA. This boy, whose surname also hints at Moroccan origins, is leaving Corsica for the first time"), [21], [22], [23], [24] ("He took charge of the E3 team, and since then has made them progress with great regularity. His team is playing this season in Juniors D3, with a very promising first round, finishing 3rd and having the best attack with 77 goals scored."), [25], among many more French sources. Clealyr significant figure in French and Swiss lower league football who has Ligue 2, one of best second tiers in the world, experience. Article needs improvement, not deletion.

- Keep per sources above which show notability. GiantSnowman 18:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Fails GNG with a lack of significant coverage. Once again interviews (tunisie-foot), articles from club websites (he played for and managed Signal) and routine coverage such as being fired are being passed off as sigcov. Clearly some scrub that somehow played in Ligue 2 before finding his natural level in the regional amateur divisions of France and Switzerland. Dougal18 (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Aren't merely "interviews" and "routine coverage such as being fired", I literally cited secondary coverage above. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 18:18, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per nominator and Dougal18 as there is no in-depth secondary coverage in reliable sources (only one lejsl.fr article comes close). My favorite bit from the coverage linked above is this: Personne ne connaissait Foued Kahlaoui, pas même la plupart de ses futurs équipiers. Not exactly an endorsement of his notability ;) Jogurney (talk) 14:03, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Agreed with above that the first lejsl.fr article (what even is the second piece??) is the only source that approaches SIGCOV, and that is not enough to meet GNG, especially when so many of the sentences in the piece are redundant or unencyclopedic fluff. Maville is a transfer report. Tunisie-foot is a pure Q&A interview (why link it at all?). Proxifoot has a passing mention in routine transaction news. Signal is his club website. TDG has a single quote from him. These are not enough for GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 23:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete, concur with the inadequacy of sources cited above. Looking through the coverage, it is nothing more than a series of interviews and routine announcements filled with puffery that do not equal a GNG pass. Devonian Wombat (talk) 01:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep I've found a couple more interviews and transfer coverage of him from national magazines, which is the extent I can do with basic internet searches. While my new sources don't meet GNG (at least this brief bit of news could be used to flesh out the article with prose) I think he's both notable enough as a footballer - dozens of professional games - and has generated enough requisite secondary coverage, including at least one WP:GNG-qualifying source, that someone could write a decent, notable stub about him. In terms of overall notability, though, he's right on the line. SportingFlyer T·C 20:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- But what is the GNG-qualifying source? I can't find one nor has anyone identified one. Jogurney (talk) 20:32, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- The first one Paul Vaurie linked is fine by my assessment. The Maville article is transfer announcement but also covers him decently enough. I think we can keep on both of those alone, and then there are additional JSL mentions which we could write a start-class article on. SportingFlyer T·C 20:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Of the eight sources currently listed at the article, three might constitute significant coverage: The first Le JSL article, the Dunkerque source, and maybe the Signal FC source. The interview from Signal FC includes an extremely concise biography and is not independent, as it seems he was coaching there at the time, so it doesn't count towards the GNG. The remaining sources, in my view, do not constitute significant coverage, as they only briefly mention Kahlaoui. Same goes for the source brought in by SportingFlyer. Since it doesn't seem there is enough information to write a thorough article that goes beyond simply where he played (WP:NOTDATABASE), I think deletion is appropriate.
- WP:SPORTBASIC says that "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Meeting this requirement alone does not indicate notability, but it does indicate that there are likely sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article." This contradicts my above reasoning, but the thorough searching done in the course of this discussion has convinced me that there are in fact not "sufficient sources to merit a stand-alone article". Thus, I still think deletion is most appropriate. Toadspike (talk) 21:45, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

- In my search I found at least 3 other contemporary people with reasonable coverage with the same first and last name (and English-language sources often do not include the patronymic), so it's possible a couple of these sources describe yet another, but there's a few similarities to the subject of the article. The gaps in degrees from this article lines up with being "distracted" by these related political pursuits at various times.

Lack of significant coverage in third-party sources. What little we have is a passing mention and two references from a non-notable magazine that ran for 1.5 years in the mid-90s, and isn't even listed on the page of its publisher. Dates are screwed up because of some old edit wars over tags, but the article has had maintenance tags since 2008. The WordsmithTalk to me 19:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

What little we have
gives us a decent reception section as a basis for a non-stubby article, thus fullfilling WP:WHYN. The Paste article dedicates 2+ paragraphs to Volo, so that's not a passing mention in my view. I don't see why Arcane should not be considered reliable for its area of expertise, i.e. fantasy. In addition to the present sources, this Giochi per il mio computer article, p. 102, has a paragraph dedicated explicitly to Volo. Sources with shorter commentary are Dungeons & Dragons is changing how it makes books, Volo's Guide to Monsters giveaway, Composing Media Composing Embodiment. Daranios (talk) 15:07, 3 August 2023 (UTC) - Keep Arcane was not a long-lived magazine, but as a full-colour glossy that published each month on time and used a stable of good writers and artists, it was respected in the field of fantasy role-playing while it lasted. Its reader poll to determine the best 50 RPGs of all time was a first for the industry, and is still used extensively in other wiki articles. Neither of the reviews in Arcane nor the article in Paste were "passing mentions", and both delved into the reasons for the popularity of Volothamp. I would like to see some of the sources indicated by Daranios incorporated into the article, but even without them, the article is notable. Guinness323 (talk) 15:56, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I feel the issue here is perhaps that the character themselves is being used where a series article would make more sense. The article itself states "It is through Volo's perspective that Ed Greenwood authored his detailed Forgotten Realms lore-books of the Volo's Guide series". It's possible this could be moved to Volo's Guide and be about the series, mentioning the actual character within the context of that. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:27, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Although I see what you are saying, at what point does a fictional character become notable enough to have their own article? Guinness323 (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- WP:GNG states that multiple sources of significance are needed. I am unconvinced that Volo is notable based on the sources provided, but I haven't !voted to merge or something because I feel like the series itself is actually notable. Paste Magazine's definitely the biggest, but it entirely talks about him in the context of how the books are from his perspective. Meanwhile, the Polygon article that isn't the giveaway is meatily about Volo's Guide but only tangentially about Volo himself. Therefore I think the best option here is to move it to the Volo's Guide series. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 00:08, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't care too much either way. I think the commentary of secondary sources on Volo as a literary device would fit equally well into our article here or a Volo's Guides article. The commentary on Volo as a character (like the short sentences in the Polygon articles and the whole content of the Giochi per il mio computer article) fit better into our article dedicated to the character, but could be fitted into a series article as well. It remains that I believe there's enough material for the character to be notable (and too much to conveniently fit into Forgotten Realms#Characters), and the question of how to present that material best is a secondary question, which ideally can be solved outside a deletion discussion.

WP:BLP of a radio personality and public transit announcer voice, not properly sourced as having any strong notability claim. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have jobs, and have to be reliably sourced as the subject of coverage and analysis about their work to independently validate its significance -- but this essentially just states that he's had jobs, and is referenced solely to his staff profile on the self-published website of his own employer, which is not a notability-building source as it doesn't represent independent attention being paid to his work by people without a vested interest in it.

- Keep. Not seeing any policy-based rationale for deletion here, and nom doesn't seem to have done even a perfunctory WP:BEFORE. We have at least the following: 106 words (excluding quote) in The New Yorker, approximately 300 words (excluding quotes from subject) in The New York Post ("no consensus" on RSP), over 1000 words with significant biographical content in Straus News, 107 words on Vox (not independent of New Yorker piece). I would also note substantial portions of this 4-minute news clip (I think this might have been what NYC Guru meant to link to above?) from NBC New York, which is probably not GNG material but certainly helps to show that the article subject is WP:WELLKNOWN for BLP purposes. I would assume there are more as that's just when I got tired of searching. This seems to meet the GNG threshold of
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
, where "significant coverage" requires thatno original research is needed to extract the content
. And while these sources mostly aren't optimal for article-building, there are plenty of non-independent sources to fill in non-controversial biographical information. -- Visviva (talk) 02:18, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

The justification to delete speaks about the article being sourced only to something written by his employer. But searches indicate there is news reporting about his voice work, which is described as one of the most famous voices in New York. Independent reporting about his work is what the nominator said was needed.

Fails WP:NSONGS. While the song seems to have made some component charts (not official national charts), there isn't any coverage from reliable, secondary sources. Today, while reliable, is an NBC show and doesn't count as a secondary source for coverage of a performance on another NBC show. NØ 13:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, never charted and no coverage outside of the one performance. I was looking into NBC, they don't own the record label she sings for, Sony does. It's not cross promotion having her on the show, so less of a primary source. Oaktree b (talk) 13:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

- Comment - If the article survives this process, its title should be swapped with Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), which is currently a redirect to the parent album. All that disambiguation is unnecessary and awkward, and there would no confusion with other things at Holiday (disambiguation). See the article's infobox too. (This is not a comment on the song's notability.) ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:28, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect to A Very Trainor Christmas. Little to no coverage about the song outside of album reviews. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 17:35, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Seems to meet WP:GNG, so NSONG is not necessary. Note that I saw this page creation in the new pages feed and reviewed it. When the nominating user changed the page to a redirect, I figured I'd put the investigation I did during the new page review to use to add sources and restore the page. I found:
- There's approximately 100 words of SIGCOV dedicated to the song, published 2 years after the song, in a biography of the band Earth Wind & Fire, published by University Press of Mississippi, titled Do You Remember? Celebrating Fifty Years of Earth, Wind & Fire
- There are probably a 100 of the band's songs covered in the biography, it does not impart individual notability to all of them as this does not constitute standalone coverage. The one line about how "the song embodies EWF's classic sound, with pulsating horns and a funky bassline" can be extremely comfortably accomodated on the album article.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Just because an independent, reliable source covers a 100 of a band's songs does not prevent it from imparting notability from a particular song if the coverage of that song is significant enough. Rlendog (talk) 15:32, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
- The Hollywood Life article is about 150 words of SIGCOV of various aspects of a performance (with further coverage of the album, not counted in the word count)
- The Hollywood Life is a pathetic and unreliable tabloid imo that should never be used as a source. Shocklingly, one user at RSN considered it reliable but even that discussion seems to have concluded it should not be used to gauge notability.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- The Today.com article is a few hundred words of SIGCOV addressing visual aspects of different performances of the song, including a music video, and does seem to be independent of the subject of the article (the song).
- I did encounter other short coverage beyond trivial that I didn't reference in the article. —siroχo 18:31, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- I believe I have already covered why the Today source does not count as a secondary source for the purposes of notability, for their coverage of a performance on another NBC show.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- I disagree that Today does not count as a secondary source for this song. The song is not owned by NBC and so Today is a secondary source with respect to coverage of the song. Rlendog (talk) 14:33, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- I believe I have already covered why the Today source does not count as a secondary source for the purposes of notability, for their coverage of a performance on another NBC show.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. Due to article corresponding to Wikipedia:Notability (music) with said song's ranking on the US Holiday Digital Song Sales chart along with Canadian Adult Contemporary Songs chart. Hence song is well in accordance with Wikipedia:Notability (music) in being ranked on national or significant music or sales charts. What's more the song has been independently released as a single by Meghan Trainor featuring Earth, Wind & Fire, who are both two very notable musical artists.Scriber88Talk 19:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- Well Holidays was of course released as a single, a fact that's firstly been verified and corroborated via Meghan Trainor - Holidays, the song's music video. What's this has been further substantiated via People https://people.com/music/meghan-trainor-releases-holiday-music-video-earth-wind-fire/, Entertainment Tonight, https://etcanada.com/news/716993/meghan-trainor-gets-festive-for-holidays-music-video/ and Page six https://pagesix.com/2020/12/03/earth-wind-fire-singer-says-band-doesnt-have-groupies-anymore/. Song is also notable having over 4.4 million views on YouTube whilst being critically acclaimed by GQ https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/christmas-songs-2020-ranked, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution https://www.ajc.com/life/music-blog/music-notes-this-year-we-need-a-little-christmas-music-more-than-ever/C3ZPP5XPMVEI7DQREJKRRZGRBQ/, The Spokesman-Review https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/nov/26/its-dolly-parton-carrie-underwood-meghan-trainor-l/ and AllMusic https://www.allmusic.com/album/a-very-trainor-christmas-mw0003422402.
- Holidays is undoubtedly in accord with Wikipedia's guidelines for notability and what not. Certainly the song and article should be continually maintained in soing to offer an illustration of such notability. Scriber88 (talk) 06:27, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Neither of the charts you have mentioned are "national or significant music or sales charts". They are component charts which could do with a mention on the album article. Also see WP:NOTINHERITED for arguments to avoid during a deletion discussion.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: One of the keep votes above is the creator of the article and the other "restored" it before this AfD. The pile-on keep votes with flawed arguments should be weighted accordingly.--NØ 04:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- MaranoFan, I think it's predictable that an article creator would arguing for keeping an article they created in a deletion discussion. But they can participate in AFDs just like any editor. I don't see that their work on an article discounts the argument they are making in a discussion. I disagree when in some other AFDs an article creator's comments are tagged as if that means they are less important than other people's opinions. Liz Read! Talk! 22:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

- Delete until and unless better sourcing can be found. None of his awards appear to be "well-known and significant" which is a higher level than notability. The current sourcing is insufficient to support any article much less a WP:BLP. Eluchil404 (talk) 07:04, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I found some passing mentions in books and surprisingly little in the press. He contributed to media units that were nominated and/or awarded prizes. That is nice yet unless the director, just maybe the producer, does not count toward notability. It mostly counts toward the unit's notability. If the award is more specific to the domain of that person (e.g. for the screenplay or special effects) we should again consider it. Also the GNG would still need to be met. gidonb (talk) 02:26, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series)". -My, oh my!

- Retracted per below
Keep. Meets WP:GEOROAD / WP:GNG. The nomination seems to be around concerns about WP:SUSTAINED. However, there are sources from 6+ years apart about this street, so it meets that criteria. Note that WP:ONEEVENT only applies to biographies, and would not apply given there are two distinct renaming events here. A merge might be in order but I'm not familiar enough with the target to be sure if 2023 coverage of the second name change would it. Given that we don't need a merge as an ATD, it should be treated as an editorial decision. —siroχo 01:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)- @Siroxo The 2023 article that Eastmain added a week ago is unrelated to the article subject (the news piece is about a similarly named street in another Iranian city). Even though I pointed this out to them immediately, they did not react. I have now removed the 2023 link as unrelated. You are welcome to revisit your !vote since SUSTAINED is certainly not met. — kashmīrī TALK 02:02, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment/recommendation. This article was significantly refocussed in January 2022, when the infobox for the 'block' was removed. Official sources (2011 census and govt websites) indicate "Raj" has been dropped from the place name. Sources don't seem quite sufficient to satisfy GNG for the historical raj itself but the material does form part of the place/area's history. Suggest renaming the article "Sonbarsa, Saharsa"; reinstating infobox settlement; removing the raj infobox and keeping the existing text in a History section. Basically this amounts to a keep and move recommendation with presumed notability for the place under WP:GEOLAND. Rupples (talk) 12:29, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

The result was keep. Personally, I don't care for articles like this on person's whose notability is because they are wealthy. But three reliable sources should be sufficient to justify a person's notability. I think there is some promotional language in this article that could be toned down. For example, I don't think being a guest at the While House is a really strong indicator of notability. But that's my point of view and doesn't affect this closure. Liz Read!

- Draft I'm not opposed to drafting the article. @Mushy Yank: I'm not sure how much "attracted attention" you're talking about? I mean a few websites reported that Netflix cancelled two completed films (this being one of them). No reason why and no plan to sell to other distributors were disclosed. If nothing comes out of it, we can always add a sentence about the unreleased film on the actor's pages.Mike Allen 21:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- How much? Well, roughly 100 articles (in various languages) come out when you google '"The Inheritance" Brugués Netflix -wikipedia" (sites of various quality, obviously). Some sources on the page deal with the production, other sources with Netflix's decision. As to why Netflix decided to "drop" the film, this source in French said it was to sell it)). Many sources insist filming has been completed (there's another Inheritance film on Netflix, though, so it takes time to explore). Redirect could be OK but keeping the article because the film failed to be released so far and that it attracted "some" attention (notable failure being the/one reason to consider an unreleased film notable, as you know) would not shock me either. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- OK, fixed that as well. I just merged some of the info from this article. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 13:41, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Redirect, but a bit of a complex one. Redirect to the newly created director page Alejandro Brugués, and then move without leaving a redirect to The Inheritance (unreleased film). The move should be done per WP:UFILM to prevent keeping a misleading redirect per WP:R#D2. If a release ever comes, it can be moved to the proper dab for its release year for restoration at that point. Redirect seems better than Drafting in this case (in my opinion) because if it never finds a release, it will end up G13 deleted. -2pou (talk) 05:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

This article does not make any sense. There is nothing called "in situ electron microscopy" the same way there is nothing called "in situ x-ray diffraction".

- Keep: Traditionally, electron microscopes examine samples in stable configurations, after careful preparation. The article is specifically about imaging with an electron microscope in a dynamic environment, like while an experiment is taking place. The topic has significant coverage separate from electron microscopy in general, see review article book1 book2 conference. I agree the article does not introduce the subject very clearly at the moment, but the topic has enough coverage that I think it can be improved. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 03:00, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Forbes72 Environmental scanning electron microscope is a good example of what are you trying to say when talking about developing a microscopy for a specific test. and - quoting the review article that you mentioned - "
The recent advances in in situ methods, including liquid and gas sample environment, pump-probe ultrafast microscopy, nanomechanics and ferroelectric domain switching the aberration corrected electron optics as well as fast electron detector has opened new opportunities to extend the impact of in situ TEM in broad areas of research ranging from materials science to chemistry, physics and biology. In this article, we highlight the development of liquid environment electron microscopy
.. (PS: I linked the developed EMs) - to expand on the example, the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) is an example of in situ microscopy, specifically for studying samples in their natural or hydrated states. Traditional electron microscopes typically require samples to be in a vacuum, which can alter or damage certain materials or biological specimens. However, ESEM allows for imaging samples in a controlled environment with variable pressure, enabling observation of materials and biological samples without extensive sample preparation.
- thus, "in situ microscopy" as a thing does not exist but developing instruments to allow for in situ testing exits. the article is about the first
- The article should not exists the same way that an article about "Operando X-ray" should not. Cheers .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:15, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Forbes72 Environmental scanning electron microscope is a good example of what are you trying to say when talking about developing a microscopy for a specific test. and - quoting the review article that you mentioned - "
- The Environmental scanning electron microscope article does indeed mention in situ techniques. Along these lines, I guess you could try and merge all the in situ information into the individual articles for specific kinds of electron microscopes, as you seem to suggest. But since "in situ electron microscopy" is addressed as the main topic of secondary scholarly sources, having a similarly scoped article on Wikipedia mentioning the applications of in situ measurements for individual microscopes (TEM, ESEM etc.) is not just a a neologism. A singular "in situ electron microscope" might not exist as a distinct physical object, but I don't think that's a good reason to delete an article, since we have plenty of Wikipedia articles about scientific techniques. 〈 Forbes72 | Talk 〉 14:13, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. A quick WP:BEFORE style search turns up a review article "Frontiers of in situ electron microscopy" and and a couple of books In-situ Electron Microscopy: Applications in Physics, Chemistry and Materials Science, and chapter 1 of "In-situ Electron Microscopy at High Resolution" as decent-looking secondary RS for the field of in situ EM. The field thus seems notable. I think the crux of the dispute here is the researcher's POV. For some, EM technology is most important and the specimens studied are secondary. For others, the specimens are the important thing and the kind of EM used is secondary. For the latter, the ability to analyze specimen dynamics in situ is the important thing and so for them, situ EM is a bona fide field. --

The result was no consensus. The main points of contention are whether the NYT coverage is significant and whether the TechCrunch article is independent. This is ultimately down to subjective judgment, and since all of the discussion is policy-based, we look to the numerical tally which is slightly in favor of keeping but not quite enough to declare a consensus.

- Keep in accordance with WP:GNG standards, the page meets the notability criteria as it primarily discusses the software, rather than the company. Specifically, the sources discuss the software. The New York Times piece, while not entirely focused on the company, is rather huge and gives in-depth coverage of the software and its influence on the virtual office software industry. I found several books with good descriptions of the software and added one review in a new section. Furthermore, I've integrated several credible sources in other languages, such as Chinese from 36kr.com, as well as numerous academic papers that explore the software's impact on student studies, business workflows, and more. As such, the page meets the basic notability requirements and could be restructured to resemble a software-centric entry more closely. --BoraVoro (talk) 16:47, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- The NYT article is not about the company or the software. It is about virtual meetings and discusses the company and software in context with several other companies. Neither the software or the company are the main focus of the article so it would not meet ORGCRIT. "Descriptions" of the software in other sources fall short as well. It would be the same as considering a company directory listing (Crunchbase, Bloomberg, etc.) for notability.

- Keep with reservations. First of all, the very lengthy New York Times magazine piece does not make the company the focus but it does talk a lot about the company. The article is about why people need something like KumoSpace. Common sense says it counts. Read it for yourself.
- There's a TechCrunch article about KumoSpace; our WP:RSNP note on TechCrunch warns about variability in the reliability of their articles: see WP:TECHCRUNCH. I read the article; it's by a named staff reporter and I judge it to be independent. Nominally, it's about raising money but primarily it's about KumoSpace and what they're doing.
- There are citations to journal articles about using KumoSpace in the classroom -- I'm not sure how they fit into our WP:NCORP scheme.
- My reservation is that by tech standards, this is a small company in a very big space; they raised $21 million in financing. The tech giants have more coins than that just in their sofas. A personal beef I have with WP:NCORP is that ignores size in favor of meeting some very specific citation requirements. We end up with articles about dive bars in Saskatoon because people wrote interesting profile pieces about them. We coverage of Fortune 500 companies because when they fire 1000 people, takeover a competitor or earn $1 billion, it's "routine." Ultimately my !vote is about the rules, not my personal preferences so KumoSpace is a keep.
- --A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 23:38, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I did read the NYT article and TechCrunch article. I believe you are saying you have an issue with NCORP which is understandable as I often have an internal conflict with it myself (I think we raised the bar high to keep out spam and wound up keeping out some good companies as a result). Unfortunately, the guideline is what it is and would need to be changed before it can be applied as such (lower standards than currently written). Regardless, let's assume that the NYT and TechCrunch meet ORGCRIT. If that is the case, I don't feel that both together would be strong enough for NCORP. If two sources similar to these could meet NCORP, we could have thousands more articles on companies that otherwise would not qualify. --CNMall41 (talk) 23:55, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep the NYT, along with other US and foreign articles, provides significant coverage of KumoSpace, illustrating its relevance among virtual meetings industry. It's notable for a software that academic references emphasize its impact in the educational sector. I'd rather strongly agree with the above arguments of notability and believe the article is more about a software. In this context, and given its diverse references, it meets the general notability criteria. --Emma so Bergst222 (talk) 19:23, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources with each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "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. It is notable that the Keep !voters above pretty much acknowledge that the sources don't meet NCORP. Most of the information discusses the "newness" of the VR experience and the software, there's no Independent Content about the company and I'm unable to identify any references that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 16:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. After making some research in line with WP:BEFORE, it’ s evident that Kumospace is primarily recognized as a software program and multiple sources treat it as such (quite often naming it as an alternative to Zoom). I also count as reliable sources the research scholarly papers from universities around the globe which explores/examines this soft, e.g. how Kumospace impacts Grade 9 students’ academic performance (published in the double-blind peer-reviewed American Journal of Education and Technology. As for me, it is important to keep in mind that as the article is not about the company only, but also about the software. Thus, it seems to meet the WP:GNG.

- I struggle to see how the NYT article could possibly be used to support any coverage-based criteria for evaluating N, given that it hardly has any information about KumoSpace, much less "directly and in detail". The TechCrunch article, on the other hand, is for the most part "Martin says", "Martin posits", "Martin stresses", "Martin argues". Martin being Brett Martin, co-founder and president of the company, it is unclear how we should consider it independent. E-Palli is not listed as a predatory publisher, but there are indications that suggest that it dubious. I am not convinced that any of its journals should be considered RS, and I am not aware of its inclusion in relevant indicies. In any case, despite being independent, it is most certainly also WP:PRIMARY, both of which are required in SIRS. I can't find a basis for lower standards for software as put forward by BoraVoro and Old-AgedKid (the WP:NSOFT essay notably directs us to WP:NPRODUCT for commercial software) and the general notability guideline is actually quite similar, if not quite so explicit about the required depth to be considered significant (understandably so, since the primary criteria of the SNGs were how it was originally formulated. I don't see an argument for retention that aligns with the relevant guidelines, so I will have to recommend a delete. (edit conflict) yeah probably my fault for taking so long but y'all could leave some of this stuff in OAFD for like a day or so, grumble grumble Alpha3031 (t • c) 13:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- The combination of substantial NYT coverage, a TechCrunch feature, and multiple other independent sources makes this a clear keep in my view. WilsonP NYC (talk) 20:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- There's your problem right there. We don't combine sources for the purposes of meeting the criteria. We need multiple sources whereby *each* source meets *all* the criteria. HighKing++ 14:46, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- @WilsonP NYC:, based on your limited participation on Wikipedia, I am wondering if you could expand on how NYT, TechCrunch, and (multiple) other sources meet WP:SIRS. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:45, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Techcrunch, in the form of actual bylined editorial articles (versus Crunchbase and so on) is a significant source of original reporting on technology companies and (despite many objections to the boosterish tone in this discussion and elsewhere) is usually considered the main source of news on technology companies. The feature there is significant, independent, reliable and secondary.
- A major NYT Magazine feature obviously meets all four criteria, the NYT magazine is one if the most high profile sources in the English language. Thus the argument taking place here is if the subject's inclusion in this feature is a passing mention or a significant part of the article. My judgement is that it's significant, but it's certainly arguable.
- The combination of those two, plus other credible citations, meets notability in my view. WilsonP NYC (talk) 16:53, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. There seems to be confusion about SIRS. While TechCrunch is a reliable source, the one cited is a routine announcement of funding with churnalism. For New York Times, this is not about KumoSpace. It talks about it in briefly in context with virtual meetings so it fails SIRS. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:00, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep. I'd prefer to keep it. I enjoyed the interesting discussion and do see the issues with "multiple reliable sources", and an argument that some non-fiction books describe the software. I also cannot say that the New York Times newspaper merely mentions it briefly. Their media coverage is comprehensive enough to write a short, neutral article about kumospace on Wikipedia, if to apply such a verification method. However, that's not my point. I was surprised to find out that kumospace is already a part of several university courses (Queen's University Belfast, Queen Mary University of London) on "Profile Building/Networking". Specifically, an entire session is dedicated to kumospace software, while Cambridge University uses kumospace for teaching its Networking course. This, in itself, speaks to its notability.

That said, he's still a young author so this article may simply be a case of Wikipedia:Too soon.

Per WP:ORG for an organization to be notable, they must pass WP:SIRS - which requires multiple articles with in depth coverage.
The article currently is a list of events the group has been associated with protesting, because the group is only mentioned in news articles where it's mentioned they were attending. They weren't the only groups there, so it's "and this group was there" throw-away mentions.
There is no in depth coverage of the group in reliable secondary sources to fill out any additional information - who is the group, what is their history, do they have a mission?
This also falls under guidelines for WP:BLP1E - the protests are more notable than the group itself and WP:BLPCRIME - there have been a arrests at protests with no follow up coverage, I can't determine if charges were ever brought against the people arrested. Denaar (talk) 12:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep -- First of all, the sources already in the article are sufficient to satisfy the GNG. Second, nom's deletion rationales are inapplicable. This is not a BLP, so BLP1E can't possibly apply. Even if it were a BLP it wouldn't apply because multiple events are involved. Also the mentions aren't passing. The NYT article alone has two paragraphs on the background and origin of the group. For the same reason BLPCRIME doesn't apply -- this is not a BLP. Again, even if it were the criterion wouldn't apply since the article doesn't purport to be about the crimes, so why would it matter if there were continuing coverage of them? Central and Adams (talk) 12:53, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment - I should have just said it doesn't pass WP:GNG's significant coverage requirement: "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." Right now, we only have trivial mentions, there are only 66 results in Google News so it's a pretty short list to go through, and there is a video game with the same name and not all those results are related. Denaar (talk) 14:58, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying your position. Clearly we disagree on whether the mentions are trivial or not, but we'll see what our colleagues think! Central and Adams (talk) 15:14, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- BLP policy applies to any page, so the nominator's mention of WP:BLPCRIME seems applicable here, because this part of the policy emphasizes the serious consideration needed before
including material—in any article
that suggests any nonpublic figurehas committed or is accused of having committed a crime, unless a conviction has been secured
; at minimum, this policy consideration seems to emphasize the limited sustained coverage available about the group generally and various arrests reported specifically within the article; I also think it is a relevant consideration during a selective merge process, if that occurs.

- Keep Not all of the sources cited are especially useful or reliable, but as the last person said the coverage is more than passing and there are several sources. There may not be much on the group's history or mission, but that's because this seems to be an internet-organized all-purpose community of bullies that happened to give themselves a name, not a proper organization with a cohesive guiding principle. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 13:43, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep With some Duckducking I was able to find multiple sources covering the subject for at least two paragraphs each fairly quickly, so I think we should be able to meet WP:GNG here, even if the sources in the article itself were lacking, which, judging by the other !votes, they are not. I would add that having clear aims or a large track record are not requirements for meeting notability guidelines.----Licks-rocks (talk) 16:51, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

- The January 2023 Anti-Defamation League report, "Online Amplifiers of Anti-LGBTQ+ Extremism" cited in the article has a one-sentence mention in the Blaze Media section, "At one such event, Stein was seen promoting “Guardians of Divinity” member David Nieves..."
- The NYT coverage in the article, Foes of Drag Queen Story Hours Invade New York Councilman’s Home (Dec. 20, 2022) notes "at least 141 protests, attacks or “significant threats” against drag events in the United States so far this year, according to a report published by GLAAD" and also discusses "the Guardians of Divinity, a far-right organization" as "believed to be behind many of the protests in New York" and briefly mentions its origin "opposing pandemic-era vaccine and mask mandates," and states the group has "shown up at several Drag Story Hour events in Jackson Heights, Queens, and they also disrupted a community forum in Astoria hosted by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez."
- A variety of sources in the article focus on the Dec. 2022 event, e.g. Vice (Dec. 20, 2022, does not mention Guardians of Divinity); AMNY (Dec. 20, 2022, does not mention Guardians of Divinity); The Advocate (Dec. 24, 2022), Guardians of Divinity association attributed to a belief by Bottcher); WP:DAILYBEAST (Dec. 28, 2022), citing WP:NYPOST to identify Guardians of Divinity involvement.
- Other sources in the article do not mention the group, e.g. Astoria Post (Jan. 18, 2023); Patch (Feb. 2, 2023); Upper East Site (Feb 1, 2023).
- The article includes TimesLedger aka QNS coverage on Dec. 30, 2022, "Proud Boys protest drag story hour event at Jackson Heights Library" and Jewish Telegraphic Agency coverage "These Jews are defending Drag Story Hour against far-right protestors. Here’s why." (Jan 6, 2023) - this type of coverage seems to help support a merge to where protests and counter-protests can be presented with appropriate context, per WP:PAGEDECIDE.
- This local organization with coverage that appears to begin in December 2022 may become "nationally well-known" (per WP:CLUB) in the future, but at this time, there does not appear to be sufficient support for a standalone article (e.g. with "national or even international notice" and "widespread attention" as described for non-commercial organizations). Beccaynr (talk) 17:02, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- I voted Keep above, but you make a very convincing argument here, and I would be fine with a merge on these grounds. Wouldn't that first report already qualify as SIGCOV though? It provides a fairly clear-cut summary of all the important information about the group. --Licks-rocks (talk) 17:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- I think the first report offers more in-depth coverage than other sources, but also helps identify the group as a local organization and as one of several groups that "began to pivot to more anti-drag activity" since late 2022 - this report also states, "as vaccine mandates and lockdowns fall out of the news cycle (and public attention), anti-drag activity may become a more consistent mobilizing force" and this is part of why I suggest a merge (and redirect to preserve the article history) - the ISD report indicates the group is part of a trend that has broadly received attention and continues to be monitored. From my view, it seems possible that WP:SUSTAINED coverage of the group may exist in the future, but for now, we appear to have more sustained and in-depth coverage of the broader context that also predates coverage of this specific group (See e.g. the Nov. 21 2022 GLAAD report cited by the NYT).

PROD declined for this essentially fallacious article on a non-existent Dubai community. This is not a notable place, the article does not pass WP:GNG nor WP:GEOLAND, the place named is not mentioned in any secondary sources and most definitely not in the publication given in the bibliography. One of a number of essentially fallacious place articles created by this blocked user, even the image is a generic picture recaptioned to be of 'Enkhali'.

- Keep It may "feel" non-notable, but it clearly passes WP:GEOLAND as a legally recognised populated place, which is one of our lowest notability standards, and for good reason. Problem is, it's in Sector 6 per the census, and there's not a lot more we can say about it that I can find - the deletion rationale isn't invalid. Since the creator has been blocked I don't really care if this is deleted - just want to note that whatever happens, anyone who wants to re-create this article would be doing so on a topic we've deemed notable. SportingFlyer T·C 12:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- It not only "feels" non-notable, it "IS" non-notable. It's claimed to be in the middle of the totally, utterly unpopulated area between Awir and Lahbab - it's a desert. It's not a village or a community or a recognised place - it's desert. Seriously, dunes and camel camps. Desert. I quite often drive past there. There's not even a signpost off the E44 to mark 'Enkhali' - it's not even searchable on Google maps. It's all sandy and deserty and, well, deserted. It has no houses. Nada. Zero. Zilch. It's as unpopulated as it's possible to be these days in Dubai, the emirate. Nobody's deemed it notable for anything - it's a wholly unpopulated place. It's the Norwegian Blue of populated places, nailed to its perch - in the desert. :) Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:55, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
Populated, legally recognized places are typically presumed to be notable, even if their population is very low.
It's a populated, legally recognised place. Is it worth keeping as this stub? Probably not, but I have no problem if anyone wants to re-create this if there's anything else we can say about it. SportingFlyer T·C 16:52, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

- You remember the great John Carter train crash? My run of >150 UAE AfDs? This user was on the way to creating another one, having got hold of a PDF from Dubai Municipality and then creating articles about 'places' he found in there. Whatever, wherever 'Enkhali' is supposed to be, it's not a village or populated place and its existence isn't supported by any RS. Between Awir and Lahbab there is literally nothing bar a palace - with the vast majority of the land to that side of the road between Awir and Lahbab cordoned off around that palace - and some civil infrastructure - there's a place name Nakhali (a concrete plant named for it) just as you get to Lahbab, arguably subsumed by the expansion of Lahbab.

- Question. @Alexandermcnabb: Is there a list of political subdivisions published by the government that we can refer to? In some Canadian provinces, for example, an area too sparsely populated to have a municipal government is called a "local improvement district"? It would be nice to know how the Dubai government characterizes Enkhali. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:13, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per the nominator who knows this place. Or rather, knows this place's non-notability. Desolate, God-forsaken, lifeless places like this serve a vital role: they help hold the Earth together. In this part of the world, that's all some places are able to do. It's a noble and essential task; if just one of them let go, the Earth's crust might begin failing; Alexander would be among the first to go. So credit is due them.

- delete This thing smells of fraud. There is a reference to it in the census document, but it's striking that the reference is used only to justify the area of this place (whatever it is), with the population of two and the population density of zero conveniently tucked into the infobox. Meanwhile, the original source of the image of the camel does not mention this place or for that matter any other place other than "unnamed road", and there's no source given for the location of this place. Given that it was created by someone with a history of such frauds, I have to wonder why anyone is defending it. Mangoe (talk) 16:50, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

- Well, it's more like you are interpreting the one official source literally, which our experience with GNS and GNIS and the Iranian census leads me to reject. That one word in a column heading is not good enough; even were it not a translation I would doubt it. Look, two people is a community only in the most mathematically reductive sense, and even then I have to assume they live in two separate houses. Also, it's only a guideline anyway, but in any case the history of these discussions is that we have required more evidence of a settlement than a tag or column heading in a government listing.

I wanted to add scientific open-access journals that are in Brazil to have more visibility due to the difficulties we have here with exposing information outside Brazil. That was my only purpose but I guess I jumped the gun. I will need more time to make these journals get acknowledged and advise them to go through procedures for these changes. I started with the journal because I liked its content and youtube videos that were very knowledgeable. Thank you for your time, thoughts, and future counseling.

While a companion and a notable character in universe, Sam has very little sourcing, and a search for sources yields next to no results. While the article cites a pair of books, they aren't used for any citations, and as I don't own the books, it's up in the air on how much they actually discuss the article's subject in depth. She's listed at the Companion article, so a redirect there is probably the best AtD right now. That being said, if anyone can verify those books, there's an argument for the article being kept, but as it stands, I don't think the article really justifies its existence.

While a rather notable character in universe and a Companion, the article cites no sources and my BEFORE didn't turn up any results. It's highly possible that some information on things such as development of the character may exist in physical sources, but I don't believe that it's enough to justify this character's article existing separately.

- From what I can tell of source three, it seems to be a passing mention, and the Companions book doesn't seem to go beyond basic plot information. I'm unsure of Women in Doctor Who as I can't access Page 164 in question, but even still, I don't think these are enough to justify the article. Even if Women in Doctor Who gives a boatload of info and analysis, it's one source as the entirety of the character's reception. There'd need to be more there, and unless it exists in physical media, nothing else could be found. The other two sources would be handy for discussing background information in the article more than anything. I just don't think it's enough for the article to stand on.

- @Pokelego999: So aside from the fact, that some plot summary is fine when balanced by real-world commentary, the question would be, where would the content from Women in Doctor Who go?

There's is an established precedent for including spin-offs such as these, such as Downtime, Sil and the Devil Seeds of Arodor, etc. Plus Cwej is very much not a minor character that was just "from thirty years ago"; he's a full fledged companion that appeared in dozens of novels in the official book range and recently appeared in Big Finish adaptations that came out around 5 or so years ago. And this article includes citations from Associated Press, Goshen News, and KHON-TV, and one of the Twitter citations is due to an endorsement from a well known figure, Katy Manning.

- Delete. The AP news publication is a paid-for press release, that's not independent as required by WP:GNG and WP:NBOOK. The Goshen News piece doesn't even mention this book. All the social media citations should be disregarded for notability purposes per WP:UGC.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 17:31, 9 August 2023 (UTC)- Tbf, the article does mention "a licensed Dr. Who spin-off", which is pretty obviously a reference to Cwej. Also, not to assume bad faith, but I'd like to note that Emoteag69 has only used their account to delete Who related pages (see their history in regards to Time's Champion) and they only had two or three edits before starting the discussion about deleting this page. I'm sure that this is in good faith, but it is kind of suspicious given the lack of edit history. KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) 18:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- It‘s not universally obvious that it‘s referring to Cwej, and more importantly, it‘s a far cry from WP:SIGCOV. If you have concerns about the nominator‘s editing behaviors, I would suggest addressing them on their talk page or opening an investigation at WP:SPI; I don‘t think an AfD is the right place for that. Actualcpscm (talk) 18:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- That is true, I have to admit, my fanboy obsession sometimes lets me forget not everyone shares my perception on somethings importance. There's another argument I'd like to put forward though in regards to WP:NBook and that's #5:
- "The book's author is so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study."
- In this case, though, I'd like to refer to the "author" as Doctor Who the franchise and given how important said franchise is to the world of sci-fi and fantasy it seems like Cwej, even as a less well known part of it, fits the overall "important author/franchise". Because Cwej is officially licensed through all legal channels and it would be a gap in the record of the franchise itself if we deleted the page. KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) 21:32, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think we can equate franchise and author in the way that you suggest. If we could, everything ever written within the franchise would be notable, and that seems quite far-fetched. Actualcpscm (talk) 21:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- If this was a fan production I might agree, but this isn't, it's an officially licensed anthology so I don't see how including it would open up the can of worms you're suggesting. It would be nothing out of the ordinary like a fanfilm or something like that, all it would be is another book in the DWU just like the many we already include. And it's not like this isn't notable; Chris Cwej is a full fledged companion and Iris Wildthyme has had a very notable publication history. KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- I understand what you're getting at, but none of these are the guideline-based arguments that are usually considered to be relevant at AfD. There's a pretty firm consensus on WP:GNG, with subject-specific alternatives like WP:NBOOK. Arguing that a topic is notable for reasons entirely separate from these criteria is usually unsuccessful. For example, notability is not inherited; a book about a character isn't notable just because the character itself is. Actualcpscm (talk) 22:17, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- If this was a fan production I might agree, but this isn't, it's an officially licensed anthology so I don't see how including it would open up the can of worms you're suggesting. It would be nothing out of the ordinary like a fanfilm or something like that, all it would be is another book in the DWU just like the many we already include. And it's not like this isn't notable; Chris Cwej is a full fledged companion and Iris Wildthyme has had a very notable publication history. KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think we can equate franchise and author in the way that you suggest. If we could, everything ever written within the franchise would be notable, and that seems quite far-fetched. Actualcpscm (talk) 21:37, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- It‘s not universally obvious that it‘s referring to Cwej, and more importantly, it‘s a far cry from WP:SIGCOV. If you have concerns about the nominator‘s editing behaviors, I would suggest addressing them on their talk page or opening an investigation at WP:SPI; I don‘t think an AfD is the right place for that. Actualcpscm (talk) 18:45, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Tbf, the article does mention "a licensed Dr. Who spin-off", which is pretty obviously a reference to Cwej. Also, not to assume bad faith, but I'd like to note that Emoteag69 has only used their account to delete Who related pages (see their history in regards to Time's Champion) and they only had two or three edits before starting the discussion about deleting this page. I'm sure that this is in good faith, but it is kind of suspicious given the lack of edit history. KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) KnowledgeMeansEverything (talk) 18:36, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

My understanding is that in Australia and New Zealand 'professor' is equivalent to distinguished professors in other countries, meaning that #C5 is met; "an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon". (Although having said that, I see on the Academic ranks (Australia and New Zealand) page this point is flagged as dubious...) The University of Auckland promotion guidelines are that a professorial appointment is only available "where an academic staff member has demonstrated professional and academic eminence at an international level".

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
See WP:NOTNEWS. The article provides nothing of consequence to indicate that this 'incident' meets Wikipedia notability criteria. Disputes between parishoners and clergy (or equivalents in other faiths) get reported in local newspapers all the time, and very few are of enduring significance, liable to attract the ongoing coverage needed to justify a Wikipedia article. Furthermore, when one discounts the repetition, the extensive off-topic padding, and the editorialising (see e.g. the 'Media opinion' section in particular), the article is singularly uninformative as to what exactly this 'dispute' was actually about. There are obvious WP:BLP concerns involved, e.g. in naming individuals charged with minor criminal offences but not convicted, along with the broader issue of claiming 'controversy' over individuals without providing sufficient evidence of any long-term continuity in coverage to justify it. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:03, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: After some consideration, I have now removed the 'Media opinion' section commented on above from the article - regardless of the outcome of this AfD, such blatant editorialising doesn't remotely belong in article space. I have also removed a section entitled 'Media coverage' which entirely lacked any source actually discussing such coverage, and appears to serve no purpose beyond making the incident look more significant than it is -violating WP:NPOV along with other policy. AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:52, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- How much incidents relating between parishioners and the parish priest which has led to a resignation have been reported, especially in this small state of Goa with significant amount of Christians? I find this subject pass the notability criteria mainly because it's not a an "average" dispute, which possibly you're talking about. The priest has lost his position in the church and possibly won't every be assigned in any church. Not to forget Fr Rodrigues has been mentioned several times in local news publications. Apart this, its not the first the parishioners of Benaulim church or particularly this church has been in news. There are reports as early as early 2000s, see [65] involving the priest in charge.
The article is singularly uninformative as to what exactly this 'dispute' was actually about
, see second paragraph of the lead. it is mentioned thatParishioners accused the priest of making administrative decisions without consulting them, and of ignoring their opinions and concerns about the practices and services in the church. The situation reached a breaking point when some parishioners, who were allegedly close to the priest, filed police complaints against certain individuals.
Rejoy2003(talk) 19:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- An unrelated incident involving another priest 22 years ago does absolutely nothing to increase the notability of this incident. As for the rest, I stand by what I wrote: the article doesn't tell us what it is the dispute was even about, in any real detail. And no, the lack of coverage for other events doesn't bestow notability on this one, either. WP:N doesn't work like that. Not even remotely. AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- What do you mean by
the article article doesn't tell us what it is the dispute was even about
? Not to forget that I was still working on the article, like I said the above statement was from The Times of India in the English language. You can also see a better detailed information about the matter on two news publications, The Prudent Media [66] and Dainik Gomantak [67]. Do note that the above two news links are mostly in the Konkani language and a Non-Konkani editor will find it difficult to comprehend what's even going on. Rejoy2003(talk) 20:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- It would probably be easier to comprehend what was going on if you had made some effort to tell us. What 'administrative decisions' were the parishioners upset about? Which 'opinions' of theirs do they claim were being ignored? What was it about the 'practices and services in the church' that they took issue with? AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:16, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I would had be pleased to comprehend the issue only if I had got more time then taking this to the AFD. Leaving that aside, I've made a breakdown about the Dainik Gomantak video source, I don't think this will answer all your questions but to summarise what the concerned person told in the video was;
The letter was issued because the parishioners did not want Fr. Rodrigues since they did not understand him. The things he preached were not done properly, the Bible readings were not read properly, and the practices and services (mass liturgy, etc) of the church were not conducted properly. In addition, there were other issues that the parishioners wrote down to the Bishop. The concerned parishioner further claimed that his actions were tarnishing the Christian religion, which is why the parishioners of Benaulim do not visit their own parish church, but instead go to neighboring churches to attend their services
. According to Prudent Media's livestream, it was difficult to interpret what the locals were saying due to the sheer number of people present. Towards the end of the video, all that could be understood was thatthey alleged the parish priest had embezzled funds from the church, (mainly donations, etc.) and called him names
. Also do note that most of the issues or answers to your questions are undisclosed by the government officials, locals or journalists involved. I can provide more details from Twitter but they aren't written down by experts rather individual persons, hence they're not reliable and won't provide proper weightage to this discussion.

Maybe it could be made into a shortened, simplified article
what do you mean shortened article? When the article can be as lengthy as this one, since I've been WP:BOLD about it. People were already talking about it in June, you can see Tweets, Facebook posts and even YouTube videos see [68] [69] [70] - [71] there's also another public opinion in The Navhind Times see [72]. Yet the Cardinal had also issued this statement after witnessing the incident at Benaulim, see here [73] which gives an insight on how much efforts have been made to hush up the issues that happened at a village, which is also tourist destination. I believe we should be WP:BOLD about it and let the people know and educate about things happening in the state of Goa. I haven't added YouTube videos to references in the article since they're not from news publications. Rejoy2003(talk) 06:09, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- What according to WP:NOTNEWS you disagree of? WP:TOOSOON usually points out issues with "independent reliable sources". Check the article again, it has sources from different media publications from Goa. Also see my reply above to AndyTheGrump, I've mentioned The Prudent Media and Dainik Gomantak but you'll have to learn a different language for that unless you're a Goan.

Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else.
read the article title from The Goan Everyday which saysAction at Benaulim Church sets a horrible precedent.
see [74] To provide a general overview to you, As far as I've known and looked up on the internet, the state of Goa has never had a protest with hundreds of parishioners demanding action against a priest which resulted in his resignation from the church, the demand was first requested over months ago. This can be a possibile catalyst to unknown events in the forthcoming years the state has to witness. Rejoy2003(talk) 19:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- WP:CRYSTALBALL

Action at Benaulim Church has a horrible precedent
. There's an article written about it, maybe you could go through it. Rejoy2003(talk) 19:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- Yeah, that's an editorial. Speculation about things that might happen. If and when they do, and if and when they get significant coverage, we can write an article about them. Until then, we aren't obliged to report what anonymous journalists see in their crystal balls. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:07, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'll be more careful with the word "speculation". They have referred the Benaulim incident a couple of times, quote
The Benaulim incident is a grim reminder that the 'golden phase of silence' may end sooner, and protests could be the way forward, even at churches.
This gives us an insight on how much serious this incident is, I'm not sure whether the editors who have supported for delete in this AFD have even gone through references? The journalist has also put forth related incidents yet the Benaulim incident stands out, like the article title is suggested. The topic has already been received significant coverage from the local media publications (excluding those that are written and difficult to find in Devnagari). It has also involved notable persons like the Cardinal and Archdiocese of Goa and Daman Filipe Neri Ferrão as well. "We can write an article about them
", I can vouch you that no one will come forward and write on topic such as these. Wikiprojects Goa itself has less participants, I don't expect anyone doing this. Rejoy2003(talk) 22:20, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- I see no reason to be careful about the word 'speculation', since I was using it to describe an anonymous editorial you linked which was doing exactly that. Anyway, beyond suggesting you add WP:NOTINHERITED to the things you need to read up on, I think we are probably done here. I have expressed my opinion (based on many years as a Wikipedia contributor and participant in deletion discussions) on the notability of this 'incident'. You have expressed yours. We should probably leave the discussion to other contributors. Appropriate projects have been notified, and I'm sure there will be further input. This isn't an argument between the two of us. AndyTheGrump (talk) 23:06, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- It's true that this argument is definitely not between us. It's only that I've worked on this article almost a week, spending hours and now it has come to this. Not that I didn't expect it, but I knew atleast some editor will definitely have a problem. I don't agree with the WP:NOTINHERITED part, but I'm definitely an Inclusionist. I'll leave this to the other contributors, but to your another claim of "anonymous editor", I wish you had done more digging.

- Delete per Ivanvector. This would be WP:UNDUE as even a sentence at Benaulim, and there is no more local article with which it could be considered for a merge. I also think the mention is rather undue at the only place it's linked from, Timeline of Goan history (although it's not the only bit of trivia there). Thryduulf (talk) 21:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - Even as an inclusionist, I see nothing of value or notability here. It fails pretty much every test: Not news, currently non-notable, too soon to tell if there will ever be notability, a '4' on event criteria, lacking significant coverage, lacking persistent coverage, lacking coverage outside the area. I feel for the editor who invested so much time here, but it's just not a Wikipedia article. It's vaguely interesting, but entirely local. If it turns out to have lasting consequences (I don't see how, but my precognition is acting up), we can recreate the article in a decade or so. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 13:09, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

While judges holding national office are presumed to be notable (WP:POLITICIAN), I am not sure that the same presumption can be taken to extend to United States magistrate judges, whose authority is much less than that of United States federal judges and whose duties are mainly administrative. In any case, the presumption, if it applies, is rebutted: I find no reliable independent sources covering Upadhyaya in any detail (WP:N). Google provides many hits, but they are passing mentions in which is reported that she e.g. administered the arraignment of this or that person. And the current minimal content is entirely a WP:BIO1E matter, reflecting her future (peripheral) involvement in the most recent indictment of Donald Trump. She is not the actual judge who will preside over his trial, and therefore future coverage of her and her decisions can be expected to as minimal as anything involving Trump can be.

- Delete Nom is correct that magistrate judges are not automatically notable, even if they are involved in a high-profile case. She is handling some procedural components before the district judge takes over, and unless there are independent sources about Upadhyaya herself, there is no basis for notability. A claim of "ipso facto notable" is false and has no basis in our guidelines. Reywas92Talk 13:47, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - recent independent and reliable coverage is limited, e.g. "Trump will make his first court appearance on Thursday before Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya. Such judges handle initial matters in federal cases." (ABC News); "NBC News reports that Trump will travel to Washington, D.C., on Thursday to be arraigned in U.S. District Court before Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya." (New York); "Trump won’t be placed under arrest, according to Wade. In accepting the indictment Tuesday, US Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya issued a summons for his appearance, not an arrest warrant." (Guardian, quoting Bloomberg). This seems to be "routine news coverage of announcements" that "is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject" according to WP:NOTNEWS. Similarly, other coverage includes e.g. anticipated work, i.e. hearing oral arguments, and submitting a report and recommendations to a federal district court judge for review (Bloomberg, Jan. 2023); delaying an arraignment and appointing a federal public defender (Reuters, Jan. 2023); granting a motion to delay a settlement conference (Bloomberg, Jun. 2023). She works on high-profile cases, but sources do not seem to offer secondary analysis or evaluation of her role to help support notability according to WP:BASIC/WP:GNG. The Wikiproject United States courts and judges WP:USJUDGE guidance says "Such judges are not inherently notable", but if an WP:NPOL presumption of notability exists for a magistrate judge, this seems rebutted here by a lack of sustained coverage from independent, reliable, and secondary sources. There are also nonindependent biographical materials from a former employer, e.g. [77], [78], [79], and a Bloomberg database profile, but these do not help support notability. Beccaynr (talk) 02:34, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Just because Trump (or Beyonce or Zuckerberg) interacts with someone in an administrative capacity does not mean that they are notable.

- No one in this discussion has suggested her birthplace makes her not notable. We examine available sources according the notability guideline. The ABC News source noted above cites her US District Court biography, and does not appear to add secondary support for notability. The NYT has similar coverage Who is the judge handling Trump’s initial court appearance?, noting "Judge Upadhyaya was appointed last year, and has handled proceedings for several Jan. 6 defendants", as well as a one-sentence summary of her past legal career; what a former employer says about her; her US District Court biography; and briefly noting political donations documented by OpenSecrets.Another recent source (AP News) mentions "The arraignment will be handled before U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadyaha, who joined the bench last year"; the Guardian says "Thursday's hearing in the courthouse [...] was expected to be overseen by US magistrate judge Moxila Upadhyaya. Magistrate judges typically handle the more routine or procedural aspects of court cases, such as arraignments". She is not reported to have a substantial role in this Trump prosecution or other high-profile cases; recent coverage based on a brief burst of attention due to her proximity to this recent high-profile case therefore does not seem to offer substantial support for notability.

- The valid discussion is of bias as being statistical, not individual: m:Community Insights/Community Insights 2023 Report#Race and Ethnicity in the US and UK. While "Asian or Asian American" US active Wikipedians are slightly overrepresented compared to their fraction of their population, "Asian or Asian British" UK active Wikipedians are underrepresented by a factor of two [here I'm ignoring uncertainties; if the sample size is the typical 1000 or so, then these "over-" and "under-" differences are statistically negligible (random effects only)]. See also racial bias on Wikipedia.Of course, the IP editor alleging a "
shameful and racist attack

is an allegation of negative intent, andshameful
tends to imply intent too. Statistically racist behaviour as part of a group does not imply intent.

- https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/03/us/politics/moxila-upadhyaya-trump-judge.html
- Given the coverage is all recent, some might wonder if her notability for one event should preclude her, so also noting lots of brief mentions of her lawyering and judging, examples include:
- Brief mention in 2019: https://georgetowner.com/articles/2019/02/04/whatever-happened-whole-foods/
- Brief mention in 2023: https://www.reuters.com/legal/lockerbie-bombing-suspect-be-arraigned-us-federal-court-2023-01-25/
- Historical society profile here: https://dcchs.org/sb_pdf/biographical-sketch-of-moxila-upadhyaya/
- I think it is also important that she played a role in a historically significant event (today) so she is someone that encyclopedia readers may want to read about. Noting ~3,800 page views today, which appears to support that. Overall the presence of this article is a net positive to the encyclopedia. CT55555(talk) 02:17, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- The last source listed is not a historical society profile, it is the pdf in my first comment above - a biography produced by a former employer, so not independent. In my second comment above, I discussed the first and third sources listed - ABC News "Who is Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya in Trump's Jan. 6 case?" and the NYT "Who is the judge handling Trump’s initial court appearance?", and how they are not sigcov, due to a lack of independent and secondary content. The Hindu coverage repeats similar information and says "according to her resume" when discussing her work at Venable.

- I don't think WP:NOTNEWS precludes these sources because I don't think these profiles are "routine announcements", I think they are bona fide news articles and I think they have been written independently of the subject of the article. Yes, I see now that the historical society words are written by an ex employer, but it seems likely that the historical society made the decision that she was notable enough to publish it ("The Society is a tax exempt organization that operates independently from the courts"), so I think it counts for something (either way, it's not a core pillar of my keep !vote).

- I think the brief mentions of her work over the past year as a magistrate judge is routine/NOTNEWS coverage - her work includes high-profile cases, but her role is limited, so it is not unexpected that coverage is limited. The recent profiles (generated because of a very high-profile arraignment) repeat a similar biographical overview that appears on her US District Court biography and do not seem to be multiple sources for WP:GNG - fn4 notes
It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works. Several journals simultaneously publishing different articles does not always constitute multiple works, especially when the authors are relying on the same sources, and merely restating the same information
. Even if the apparent recycling of her employer profiles could serve as one source, there still does not appear to be substantial support for WP:BASIC notability from other sources, including the Legal Times blog noted below, or awards from her employer or co-counsel.

In my second comment above, I discussed the first and third sources listed - ABC News "Who is Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya in Trump's Jan. 6 case?" and the NYT "Who is the judge handling Trump’s initial court appearance?", and how they are not sigcov, due to a lack of independent and secondary content.

That PROD was removed without comment, but sources were added so that's fine. The problem is that three of them are just databases (Mubi, FilmDienst, TV Guide), one is WhatCulture which "is considered generally unreliable", and one is Hulk Hogan's own book which does not give notability to a movie he starred in. I can't view the excerpts from that Orpheus Pub review to garner an opinion of it as a source, but even if it's reliable, it's the only one so far, and I didn't find anything else earlier as I said so I still don't see notability here. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 10:35, 2 August 2023 (UTC)No apparent signs of notability. Rotten Tomatoes lists two reviews, but one (archived) is actually for The Secret Agent (1996 film) and the other I can find no trace of online and wouldn't know if the source is reliable anyway. Found nothing else of value, and I wouldn't even be sure it was keepable if it had those reviews.

- Keep. Filmdienst quotes the Lexikon des internationalen Films, which is very reliable. Even if one takes the nominator's views into consideration, the coverage seems sufficient to attest notability.
- But fair enough, one can also add this review, at least to make sure it meets the requirements for notability of films. And this, this, this, this, etc.
- For what it's worth, the film was internationally distributed and various sources exist when looking up with Spanish/Portuguese/French titles...
- (Note- The assertion that
That PROD was removed without comment
is not true. I removed the Prod and I did add a comment both in the Old prod template on the talk page "Added sources, expanded, apparently notable" and in my edit summary "++, removed Prod by User:QuietHere", which is short but seems very clear and informs the nominator of the DeproD. Please check and amend your comment if you don't mind.) - -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 13:22, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Saying "removed the PROD" without saying why is removing it without comment. Fair, you did then add a reason to the template on the talk page which I didn't see, and also that part doesn't matter because your reasoning was clear without being stated.
- As for the sources you've linked, let's see. The Movie Scene is written by one person and makes no mention of editorial oversight so that likely gets struck down as unreliable/non-expert unless Webb is secretly some acclaimed film critic who I've just never heard of. Wealth of Geeks is a listicle and I've seen enough of those rejected to have my doubts, especially when there's only a few sentences on the movie and they're written by someone who appears to only write listicles. Cinema.de has a rating but no prose attached and is otherwise just a database page, not hot on that. Stinker Madness is a blog for someone's podcast which appears to also lacks editorial oversight and would be struck. And Kino.de suggests at the bottom of the page that the review there is one of what could be more, implying that review is a user submission, thus failing USERG. See how the recent Haunted Mansion lists 13 reviews and an average rating of them.
- In short, I don't think any of those pages are reliable, and my mind has not been changed. Since you say you found more in other languages, please link them here. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 21:28, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

. No, I don't think it is the same. And in good faith if you quote it, you should quote my edit summary completely: "++, removed ProD by XXX", which obviously means I expanded the page or added various things to it, which clearly explains why I removed the tag (not to mention the size of the edit and the TP template). I am therefore forced to repeat that your opening assertion is simply not true. If it does not matter and was clear without being stated, why mention it at all?

The review notes: "On a budget that would barely cover one of Arnie' cigars, that other body builder-cum-film star Hulk Hogan essentially remakes True Lies, this time with Jamie Lee Curtis replaced by the streetwise antics of a bunch of kids. ... With a little less overacting from the supporting cast, and a touch more imagination, this could have been lowbrow fun. As it is, it's bland, only occasionally entertaining, nonsense."

The article notes: "The biggest danger the film flirts with is of degenerating into a out-and-out camp farce, which might have generated a bigger audience beyond kids and those who enjoy watching Plan 9 From Outer Space all the way through. Director John Murlowski, a former music video director whose feature credits include Amityville: The New Generation and Automatic, only just avoids going down this road, perhaps to his credit. His evident ability to maintain conviction in this possibly career-wrecking venture suggests that he must have learnt a thing or two in his early days making public service announcements for the Suicide Prevention Center (a detail conveyed in the film's press notes). However, with its ridiculous collection of mugging baddies (foremost offender being the sadly fallen Lesley-Anne Down as the vampish Eve), cheesy action sequences, and bad special effects, The Secret Agent Club is likely only to save the lives of depressives with a taste for borderline kitsch and fanatical Hulk Hogan fans."

The review notes: "Although he has played a campy villain in the ring and in ROCKY III (1982), wrestling star Terry "Hulk" Hogan has a more upstanding role in this low-grade, family action-comedy. ... After a 007-style entrance, Hogan, rather suprisingly, gets written out of most of the plot, leaving a multicultural band of bland children to carry on slapstick action heroics. Special effects and stunts look acceptable granted the low budget, although mistaking the awesome disintegrator handgun for a chintzy toy is an error any observer could make."

The review notes: ""THE SECRET AGENT CLUB": Lethal. When a studio trumpets the fact that a film is a cross between "Home Alone" and "True Lies," you gotta wonder: What brand of glue did the studio execs start sniffing? This time, first impressions are as accurate as the Weekly World News. Yes, "The Secret Agent Club" is junk. But kids need B movies just like their parents. ... Remember how much you liked the original "Batman" series when you were a kid? Your children will experience the same feeling with "Club.""

The article notes: "Hulk Hogan flexes his muscles for another bid for box office glory ... only to finish up flat on his backside. In The Secret Agent Club (PG) the big guy stars in a feeble fourth division version of True Lies. Where Arnie had a budget, sock-it-to-them action and wisecracking script, however, Hulk's has very little at all to commend it. In this bit of froth for the teenies, the former wrestler's cover is that he runs a toy shop. The reality is that he's a super-duper agent whose speciality is saving the world from power- mad baddies like Lesley-Anne Down. And whatever did happen to her career? This certainly won't help it along."

Hulk, with his indestructible jaw and weird hairline, is hardly a model of Bondian suaveness and, sadly, spends far too long doing nothing more than lying flat on his back resisting various mind tortures, when he should really be out there in the action."

His young son gets his friends to help track down and spring his father, dodging bullets and killers while having a jolly good time.

- Comment: If I'm interpreting WP:NROAD correctly, this kind of road is not inherently notable.
International road networks (such as the International E-road network), Interstate, national, state and provincial highways are typically notable
(my emphasis). It's the networks that are notable, not every single road that belongs to the E-road network. At least that's how I'd interpret that sentence. What do you think User:Rschen7754? Actualcpscm (talk) 21:41, 9 August 2023 (UTC)- That is clearly not the intent of the sentence. It would be like saying that states, provinces, cities, and counties are inherently notable... but countries are not. Rschen7754 00:04, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

- gidonb's comment above includes supporting documents that confirm this was a serious proposal, at least for a brief moment of time. This one [82] appears to be the minutes of some city/regional council meeting where members debated the merits of rebuilding and expanding the existing road N348 (which OSM confirms does exist in this area) for E404. However, if this is the only other source that can be found, it implies to me that this proposal was short lived and fizzled, as the portion of it I read (via Google Translate of course) sounded like nobody was enthusiastic about it. Dave (talk) 00:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Well, as you imply, there sure are reasons it never got off the ground. I removed my delete because the ghost bridges and a tiny 404 road section on them actually received sufficient coverage. At nlwiki this is a second article next to the 404 article but we should combine. I don't have the bandwidth to redo the article or even to argue a lot about this. Sorry.

Relisting comment: This is confusing because in the discussion, it looks like some editors think this article should be deleted but are not coming out saying the word, "Delete". I understand that AFD is NOTAVOTE but the closer should not have to interpret your intent by reading between the lines of comments. Right now, we just have a nomination statement askinf for Deletion, two editors advocating Keep and a misguided Redirect request.

- Keep. WP:GEOROAD is a thing, and it explicitly mentions
the International E-road network
as types of routes that are typically notable. LilianaUwU (talk / contributions) 01:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC) - Delete: GEOROAD doesn‘t indicate that planned roads are also notable. Given that this was never built, I think coverage would be much more limited than in the cases GEOROAD was intended to refer to, so I don’t think this is notable under that guideline. We also have very little to go on to make, say, an NEXIST argument. I don‘t see it. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 06:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete GEOROAD does not apply to roads that were not actually built. Reywas92Talk 13:30, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep International E-roads are notable per WP:GEOROAD. Roads are notable even if they were never built and gotten past the planning stage since there was at least a proposal for a road to exist, and usually there are interesting reasons why a road never got built. Unless this is a hoax, which does not appear to be the case, then this should have an article. Dough4872 16:30, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Please don't make things up. There is no precedent whatsoever that a nonexistent highway is automatically notable – significant coverage be damned – merely because a number has been assigned were it to be built. International e-roads might be notable, but this is not a road. There must be better sources to establish notability. Reywas92Talk 17:11, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- Genuinely not sure. Looking at other pages, we could create a start-class article for this, but only using sources from the EU, which may not be secondary, and even then it's not much of an article. I think deleting this would make the encyclopedia worse, but it also fails WP:GNG, and WP:GEOROAD doesn't provide clear guidance. SportingFlyer T·C 21:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note also different languages have different sources and the Dutch language version even includes a bit about ghost bridges which were constructed and then deconstructed (and the ghost bridges have their own article too!) If kept, this article should be revised to look like the Dutch one. SportingFlyer T·C 21:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- The more recent delete comments are based on the idea that this road was never built. I'm.. not actually sure that that's true? It appears on File:International E Road Network green.png, for some reason. Clearly, it wasn't built as originally intended. I think it might be the otherwise inexplicable disconnected segment of A11 from Bruges to Westkapelle, Belgium, which doesn't otherwise appear to have anything to do with the rest of the highway.. or any other highway, for that matter. casualdejekyll 21:29, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- FWIW, it doesn‘t appear on Google Maps, nor Apple Maps, nor satellite imagery. What piece of highway are you referring to? The A11 from Bruges to Westkapelle looks relatively normal to me. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 21:41, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- It wasn't built, it was a cancelled freeway dating back from 1977 according to the Dutch article. Stub ramps were built over the railroad tracks, that was the extent of it. Cancelled freeways can indeed be notable as well, so whether it was built shouldn't determine the outcome. SportingFlyer T·C 21:48, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
- I started a discussion about this over at the talk page of WP:GEOROAD. I think there is some agreement that unbuilt roads need to meet GNG, or at least are not automatically notable the way a comparable road that was completed is. This is really a question of how we read GEOROAD, so that discussion may be helpful for this AfD. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 06:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- At the very least there should be a redirect to list of unbuilt European motorways - if this would be the only item in the list I think it's fine keeping it as a stand-alone page. It's very minor information but I don't want to lose it, especially considering it could be expanded. SportingFlyer T·C 20:00, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

- Google Maps doesn't show E numbers at all in Belgium, and that's the only mapping service I checked. I'm generally unsure - that was just a guess. Note how I haven't !voted any which way, because I really have no clue. casualdejekyll 20:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think if we have no clue (because there seems to be no verifiable info on this whatsoever), that supports a deletion more than anything else. Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 20:31, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's absolutely wrong that there's no verifiable information on this. There's available sources in the Catalan wiki including potentially [83] (the other two don't mention the road, not sure if this one does but the Catalan wiki translates to that the works are available there) and in two Dutch wiki pages, and continues to appear on maps for some reason. Also considering this was cancelled in 1977 there may be more information in historical newspapers, and nobody has undertaken that search yet. SportingFlyer T·C 21:19, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- What I meant was that we haven‘t actually identified verifiable information beyond „It exists.“ in the discussion. Re-reading my comment, it’s clear that this was not expressed well. My bad! Actualcpscm scrutinize, talk 21:39, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- That's also not true. If you search for the right road, there's plenty on the cancellation for a stub, as per my previous comment. The problem is the information's potentially duplicative, as the E-routes combine a number of local routes, and this E-route would have been potentially concurrent with a single stretch of road. SportingFlyer T·C 21:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
- An additional problem may be we might be looking for the wrong thing. The E404 was going to be attached as a European number to a motorway which was unbuilt as part of either the A17, A301, or A11 per several different sources: [84] [85] for the A11 extension, and then the A17/A301 through some Dutch wiki-sleuthing and List of motorways in Belgium. So this really should be concurrent with either the A11 article or more likely the A301 article. SportingFlyer T·C 21:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment following are just a few sources on the subject. The difficulty is that the national newspaper archive of Belgium blocks access to the more recent articles.

- Keep Clearly notable after sources have been found on it. There's an editorial question as to whether this should be a stand-alone page or a redirect to a new page on a local Belgian road, considering most sources talk about the road and not the European designation for said road, but considering that page doesn't exist yet, this is currently the "correct" place for it. SportingFlyer T·C 13:07, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Final relist.The most recent commenters (who've looked at the recently mentioned sources) are advocating Keeping this article or at least leaving this page title as a Redirect. So, my question is if there is more support for a Redirect than Keeping this article and, if so, what would the target article be? I'd especially like to hear the opinions of editors who in the early stage of this discussion were advocating for Delete as this discussion has clearly evolved since it was started 3 weeks ago.

A WP:BEFORE yields some trivial mentions as references in digital media studies publications as an example of a virtual world. The cited sources in the article either also feature trivial mentions of the game, or the purported mentions are non-existent or no longer accessible. Even then, the mentions are arcane scholastic references and the article seems to lack reliable mainstream coverage.

WP:SALAT, I can't find good numbers for the total number of fossil mammal species, but to give an example, in the Miocene, an 18 million year time period, there are over 4,500 described mammal species.[92] Given that the history of mammals spans 200 million years 66 of which they have been the dominant terrestrial vertebrates, the total number is likely well over 10,000, which given the number of new mammal species described every year (see 2022 in paleomammalogy for an example) seems entirely unmaintainable.

- Split The current scope is unmanageable in both temporal and categorical dimensions. This should be split into separate lists - I would suggest by taxon rather than period, since we already have a few of those; e.g., List of extinct cetaceans, List of extinct rodents. This could be done for other extant high-order clades for which we do not yet have lists. Note that this is not required for fossil-only taxa (say, Deltatheroida) because the main article invariably already contains that list. Note also that this demonstrates that this catch-all list duplicates plenty of existing content, which is to be avoided. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I agree that creating a number of smaller lists is a good idea (per Elmidae. This list could then become a list-of-lists, helping readers to navigate to the appropriate specific list. My feeling is that "What extinct mammals existed in prehistoric times?" is exactly the sort of question an intelligent school-kid might ask, and it's our job as an encyclopaedia to do everything we can to help them find an answer. The topic is good, but the current approach could be vastly improved. Elemimele (talk) 12:42, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep - does it need work? Yes. does it qualify for deletion? No way. "Impossible to maintain" is a personal judgment. Just because you don't personally want to maintain it or think it's bad doesn't mean it should be zoinked. leaving out shabby incomplete lists as bait to annoy autistic people and thus lure them into our trap ("ill just make these 12,582 little fixes and then get back my chores") is Wikipedia's stock in trade jengod (talk) 16:34, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Though a split of some kind seems right, this is never going to be a definitive list, so another option might be to pare it down to "notable" prehistoric mammals (which still might need to be split per Elmidae); "notable" being perhaps those species with a significant research record vs those whose info was recorded but then never studied in depth. Something that brings the topic down into the WP:SALAT range. - - UtherSRG (talk) 19:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep/Split and convert to list of lists. Definitely meets WP:NLIST. More importantly, the scope of prehistoric mammals is much narrower than prehistoric insects or plants, so we can rein it in and avoid running afoul of WP:SALAT. (Ideally we'll come up with solutions to those as well one day, but that's beside the point) This list is already in sections so it's doing well with regard to SALAT. I think some level of notability (blue links only, or blue links plus red links with SIGCOV but no article, etc) could possibly help as well. —siroχo 22:20, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

The result was delete. This was a complex discussion, with a mix of deletes, redirects, merges, and keeps that were actually all specific as to why that choice was the only viable choice. Discussion appeared to successfully rebut the NPERIODICAL issues, but ultimately there was a rough consensus that the sourcing was inadequate to meet GNG. Normally, per ATD I'd go with the redirects, but as various !votes (on several sides) gave firm reasonings as to why a redirect was not suitable, I've opted for delete.

- Re the article in the D&C: the article is specifically about how GDT/Hell's Kitchen was trying to get more funding sources. Mentions their membership in Uwire and the Independent Associated Press. Has pull quotes from interviews with people at GDT, Hell's Kitchen, and the executive director of the Independent Press Association. Approximately 2/3 of newspaper page, 1st page of the business section. Kjoenth (talk) 05:44, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- Re "blog entry typically isn't reliable"-- I am a novice at this sort of thing, but as the blog entry is written by one of the founders of GDT on the topic of the evolution of the logo, doesn't that make the blog a primary source as in "A primary source may be used on Wikipedia only to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge"?
- Contextually, it is difficult to see how a citation about the logo could from sources other than the publication itself or something written by one of the people involved with the publication.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 22:54, 18 July 2023 (UTC)- tl;dr: Keep
- @My Pants Metal lists two broad categories supporting deletion:
- Appears to fail WP:NPERIODICAL.
- Weak sources in the article, including the observation that sources are either the publication itself or the RIT website. No reliable secondary sources.
- @My Pants Metal suggests merging a portion of this article into the Rochester Institute of Technology page per WP:STUDENTMEDIA.
- I believe @My Pants Metal misunderstands what the relationship between GDT and RIT was. For this reason, I will begin with why the GDT article can not merge with the RIT entry
- A.) GDT was never a RIT organization
- GDT was founded by RIT undergraduates, but was never a RIT student organization. It remained an independent, student-run publication from its founding until its final issue in 2005. Since GDT was not a RIT student organization, the administration could not disband it. In the end, RIT President Al Simone resorted to prohibiting RIT organizations from assisting GDT. In the July-Dec 2004 issue of "Questions and Answers with Al Simone", President Simone outlined the steps the RIT administration would implement:
- "I have decided that Institute property and resources will no longer be available for the production of Gracie’s Dinnertime Theatre. These resources include:
- Computers and servers owned or supported by RIT.
- The use of the HUB will no longer be available for the copying of the publication.
- Funds from Institute accounts cannot be used to purchase advertisements in the publication."
- "I have decided that Institute property and resources will no longer be available for the production of Gracie’s Dinnertime Theatre. These resources include:
- The administration's steps to deny GDT access to Institute resources were necessary because GDT was _not_ a RIT organization, and could not be disbanded by the Institute. For this reason, it has no place on the RIT wikipedia entry.
- B.) Does not fail WP:NPERIODICAL
- As noted by user @U664003803, GDT was published on a regular schedule--initially being weekly during RIT academic year, and then as it's circulation expanded to include the University of Rochester and Monroe Community College, weekly during their academic year's as well (taking into account differing timings of holidays when RIT was on the quarter system while the other universities were on the semester system).
- GDT, as a member of Hell's Kitchen (a 501(c)(3) organization founded by GDT to act as an publishing umbrella organization for it and affiliated publications) would go on the have articles distributed to university publications nationwide through Uwire, and had at least one article reproduced in USAToday through the distribution of content through Uwire.
- GDT/Hell's Kitchen would also be recognized by the Independent Press Association's(IPA) "Publication of the Month". One of the founders of GDT would be interviewed by the IPA for an article.
- C.) Reliable secondary sources include the D&C and RIT itself
- The nominator acknowledges that the Democrat & Chronicle is a reliable secondary source. While the article in question is behind a paywall, that does not invalidate that the article is about GDT/Hell's Kitchen with a focus on their circulation and finances. While it should not be necessary, I am happy to provide a copy of the content behind the paywall.
- Since GDT was never a RIT organization--again, it was distributed on three campuses in Rochester, NY--citations on the RIT website, including those from the RIT library archives, and Reporter Magazine, and commentary about artwork on campus, are secondary sources in relation to GDT.
- The distinction between GDT and RIT is critical in understanding the notability of the publication: it was a student-founded publication that published, weekly during the academic year, for 10 years (1995-2005). It was never affiliated with RIT, the University of Rochester, or Monroe Community College, but was staffed by students (and alumni) from all of these institutions, and distributed on these campuses for the entertainment of those students.
- As far as I know, there had never been an inter-collegic publication founded and run by students in Rochester, NY prior to GDT, and certainly none that engaged in that activity for 10 years. All other publications I am aware of in Rochester were either aimed at the population of Rochester, or were official student publications restricted to the university they were affiliated with.

- Comment the USA Today source is a bare url [93] which does not work. Kjoenth are you able to find that reference please? We are saying the sources under consideration are:
- -Democrat & Chronicle is daily newspaper published in Rochester, NY (two citations)
- So the people doing it get a couple of mentions in the local newspaper.
- -A blog entry by one of the founders is neither RIT nor the publication
- I think this one fails as a self published source.
- -A brand new 2.5hr audio history/interview of two of the founding editors
- This is referenced to Reddit and YouTube. This doesn't look like an in independent secondary source. Was the interview broadcast anywhere?
- -Independent Press Association
- This ref looks good[94]. It would, however, be better if we had it in the source publication. This snippet is hosted on hellskitchen.org, along with most of the material referenced here, but that is a private domain owned by a an individual who avails themself of the privacy services afforded to private registrants and hosted by NameCheap inc - a low cost virtially hosted hosting service. This is problematic for most of the references here. Although there is no indication the snippet is anything but genuine, this would be how a hoax would be set up too. Presumably that snippet came from somewhere and we should reference that properly.
- -USAToday/Uwire
- As above, this bare URL reference needs addressing.
- So, in summary, I think we need to do a bit more work to establish notability here, although there are potentially a couple of good sources here. If we can see what USA Today said, I may be closer to forming an opinion. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:43, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- I have a physical copy of the Independent Press Association writeup ("Cooking with Confusion in 'Hell's Kitchen'". Ink Reader. 1 (5): 3. November 1998.) I have not found a digital copy of that edition of IPA's "Ink Reader" on the web. The snippet hosted on hellskitchen.org is from "Ink reader". The IPA ceased operation in January 2007.
- Similar for the USAToday/Uwire link, I have a hard copy printout of the original page. The material was USAToday reprinting an article. Unfortunately Uwire was bought in 2008 and suspended all wire services in 2009. Likewise USAToday did away with all the web pages that displayed reproduced material.
- I am happy to provide reproductions of this materials in the talk, but ultimately what we are dealing with is link rot/material in physical form only.
- Is the interview in Reporter Magazine (Boden, Jess (11 May 2001). "Life According to Gracies". The Reporter: 11. Retrieved 19 July 2023.) not an acceptable source? The argument I made was that, since GDT was not affiliated with RIT, RIT media count as independent sources. Kjoenth (talk) 06:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- It is not just link rot, it is that the bare URL refs do not tell us where the information can be found. Ref 7, which you describe properly here, is inaccessible but properly described. You could put a link to your copy in the url parameter to allow review, and then ref 8 needs to be described in the same way. I gather from the date that it is October 1998, so us that issue 4? That would resolve the issue with ref 8. It is not essential that refs are available online, but there needs to be enough information that the original can be found. Likewise with the USA Today article, all we have is the URL. If this was published in the newspaper, we can search for it in various archives, but at this point we do not have any information as to the date of publication. I have carried out newspaper searches for this article and have not found it, but I have been searching "Gracies Dinnertime Theatre." Is the reproduced article credited to some other name?
- The next question is to whether these sources amount to sufficient evidence of notability per WP:NPERIODICAL. Those guidelines list 4 "presumed notability" guidelines, but I see no evidence it meets any of those. Not to worry though, because the guidelines are clear that it may still be notable if it passes WP:N, so we are looking at the general notability guidelines. To be presumed notable we are looking for multiple significant reliable secondary sources, independent of the subject. We have potentially two articles in the IPA and one article potentially published in USA Today. It is not nothing, but it is not multiple, as per GNG either (because multiple from a single author, the IPA in this case, would be treated together).
- Additionally I have questions about how significant publication in the IPA newsletter actually is. The IPA is a small (and possibly now defunct?) grassroots member organisation. If they carry an article about one of their members in a newsletter, this fails on the independent criterion. I can see they were granted money to do their work [95] and I am not saying they were unimportant as an association, but the notabilty guidelines require independent coverage. The USA Today presumably published an article without significantly addressing the source.
- I also question whether any of these mentions are under the name in the article title, or whether the article is perhaps mistitled, but that point may be moot at this stage.
- Although I am leaning delete here, I am reluctant to post that as a !vote. Is there an alternative to deletion here? You say it had no official status so it cannot be merged with the RIT page - yet if it were a recognised campus publication, I think it could be mentioned there. Or perhaps there are other places information could be merged? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:20, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Sirfurboy I'll go through the archives and pull up information about the interview with the IPA and the USAtoday link.
- As for merging, I was initially dubious, but I now see the appeal of somehow merging into pages for RIT, the University of Rochester, and Monroe Community College. Since Gracies Dinnertime Theatre was staffed by students from all three campuses and distributed on all three campuses, it would have to someone be triply merged into them.
- I joke, of course; that's an unreasonable action. Given RIT president Al Simone's position that GDT should not have access to any RIT resources, there is a sort of deliciousness at the idea of being merged into the RIT wikipedia page, though.
- IPA is definitely defunct now, but with members like "Mother Jones" and "Bitch", calling it a grassroots member organization makes it sound much smaller than it was. Kjoenth (talk) 09:35, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
MergeRedirect with Rochester Institute of Technology per the discussion above. I am sorry that I don't think it passes WP:GNG nor WP:NPERIODICAL, but there is some information of interest here that could be retained - certainly enough for a section on the target page. It is worth a mention that such a periodical existed, and how it was received (or not, as the case may be). The merge will also involve a redirect from this page that preserves this page history, should the situation change - although it seems unlikely it will change as it has ceased publication.

Relisting comment: I'm not seeing a case that this passes GNG and that is the only criteria that applies. There was a promise to dig through archives to look for more material so holding off a decision to give for that but the sourcing needs to be evidenced to keep this.

- Yes, sadly I agree, and the fact the discussion went quiet leads me to the reluctant conclusion that merge is not really viable. I am striking my merge, but moving to Redirect as a WP:ATD. This would, at least, preserve the page history that might be mineable for a paragraph that might be added to the RIT page. Do you oppose a redirect? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:36, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

This is a music-related article, but it isn't for a band, production team, recording engineer, or record label; it's for a web video promotion company.

- Note that shortly before the AfD[98] this article was greatly reduced in size and sourcing by a pair of now-blocked (sock?) accounts who appear to have had a modus operandi of removing text and sourcing from articles dealing with this subject area, then bringing AfD nominations. One of those accounts is the @How I could just edit a wiki article. Some of the removed sources like a St. Louis Post Dispatch article aren't available online.

Comment: while much of the coverage appears to be local (and/or aggregated in regional media based on local sources), the restaurant and its sign have been the subject of an interview in The Takeout (part of G/O Media) [99] and a book review in Texas Monthly [100].

- Comment: I'm not in Texas and I'm hardly au courant on popular culture topics. If even I've heard of this place and seen pictures of their sign, it's got to be notable somehow.
- Keep. After a less-than-exhaustive search I've found a several sources of SIGCOV, from places other than Austin TX. I have no AUD worries here. Here are the 3 I read most of:
- Coverage from Merced, California, Sun-Star [101]
- Via newspapers.com - Corpus Christi Caller Times article about a book about their marquee, with direct coverage of the Marquee and restaurant itself. [102]
- Fort Worth Star Telegram source about the restaurant, covering both the Austin location as well as a contemporaneously new location. [103]
- Side note - this business seems like a regional chain, not that that changes anything regarding notability.

- keep due to ...its enduring legacy, appearances in local and partially national media, and its unique elements.

Delete: the information here relates to a minor incident which seems of no great importance when it comes to having a stand-alone article: while coverage on the event itself is fine, I feel like such coverage should belong on the page of the band or artist in question, I don't think it warrants having its own page.

- I'm also on the fence about this. While I agree that something like this wouldn't normally warrant a separate article, I think that including all of this content in the Good Vibes / 1975 articles would be overdue.

- As I said, I think there is a misunderstanding as to what qualifies as reliable independent secondary sources. It is not just the reliability. These sources are editorials and columns. Even if you accept the reliability of the source (and I don't), that only addresses one of the 4 arms of WP:GNG. It does not address the other three. These are editorials and columns, making them WP:PRIMARY. See note d under that link. You say one is aggregated from a news organisation, so have a read of WP:NEWSORG which is part of the WP:RS guidelines. And this shouldn't be too surprising to us, because if all we have is a few magazine articles aggregated in a web portal then this coverage will have all the limitations of such journalism. We don't have here any indication of permanent notability - we have primary sources indicating ephemeral interest in ongoing entertainment. This is not significant coverage. Again, Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability. When people start writing about this as some groundbreaking / gamechanging show, we will have our secondary sources. We don't have any of them now. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:26, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Sirfurboy I disagree with your view that they are WP:PRIMARY as they are written independent from JYP Entertainment and Republic Records and they are WP:SIGCOV as they are covering the show itself and not just a passing mention.

- Which of those provides significant independent reliable secondary sources ? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:08, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with all of the sources listed above, but for example, ref 5 ( Newsis) is listed on WP:KO/RS. It reports on the topic from an outsider's view and is not an opinion piece, so I believe this would be considered a secondary source. ⇒ Luminous Person (talk) 23:18, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- So ref 5 states first that this is a piece written by an intern reporter, and then consists of 6 paragraphs of text. Paragraph 1-4 are simply recounting what happened, particularly in episodes 4 and 5. The fifth paragraph tells the reader what the programme is and the last paragraph is one line telling us when to find it on Youtube. This is a programme listing, and this is also clearly a WP:PRIMARY source. Someone has watched the show and is describing it. Have a careful read of WP:PRIMARY and the associated footnotes, because this is a point easily misunderstood. A primary source is an account of something that is close to an event. It could be an eyewitness account, and in a sense this is an eyewitness account. The reporter has watched the show and recounted it. We might question if it is also independent, but we don't need to at this stage because the source may be rejected for being a primary source. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:09, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

- Keep: The NYT article is actually not an interview; it can be accessed here through the Internet Archive. While this piece is mostly an interview, the paragraph that precedes the actual interview is enough to constitute significant coverage.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I will be honest this is not an AfD I wanted to do. However after rather extensive searching there's not a lot of actual meaningful commentary about Sagat as a character or his design, and far less than most of the cast. I've extensively searched through Internet Archive, google scholar, and done web crawls through various websites and while he's mentioned (often times discussing his gameplay in the context of a particular game) it shows he's iconic to the series, but fails notability as a character. Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Fictional elements and Video games. Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Addendum: For the sake of transparency, while this was originally attempted as a WP:BLAR, another editor contested the merge and posted sources on the article's talk page suggesting notability was satisfied by them. However two of the articles were commentary about his gameplay in a particular game ([114], [115]) and the third, Undisputed Street Fighter, added little commentary on his own as is effectively a primary source (per Internet Archive).--Kung Fu Man (talk) 23:29, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Merge. There's just too little in terms of significant coverage. And while I'd say the gameplay coverage can be included, it's basically game guide content and doesn't show notability, especially since Sagat was not uniquely discussed (all of SF4 and SF5's cast got their own articles). - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 23:51, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep I don't believe Undisputed Street Fighter's a primary source. It is based on information from Capcom interviews, but was not written by Capcom and restates the information in the words of the author. The other two sources analyze his gameplay and a bit of his backstory, making him squeak past GNG even before you get into possible Japanese sources that may exist. I don't think sourcing is particularly incredible but I debate the idea it is obviously non-notable. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:31, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- The problem with the two gameplay sources is that they exist not because Sagat is notable, but because Street Fighter is notable. Every character in SFs 4 and 5 got an article like this, so it's not like they went out of their way to write about Sagat just because he's a notable character. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:34, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't agree with the suggestion that the two sources that analyze his gameplay don't contribute towards the character's notability. For the purpose of this AfD, I think it's irrelevant as to why they wrote about Sagat, as long as the writers and the publications that they employ them are vetted as reliable sources and aren't connected in some way to the publisher or owner of the Street Fighter IP. Haleth (talk) 01:17, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- They concern only one incarnation of a character, and even then strictly on their gameplay in that title and similar articles were done for all the other characters in that title; Sagat's gameplay is not exceptional nor being examined outside of the context of that article. If gameplay articles like that counted for notability we'd literally have articles for nearly ever fighting game character up, not to mention every competitive pokemon, or every character even remotely involved in eSports.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:42, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- I vehemently disagree that intent is irrelevant. What you're describing - not being a primary source and being reliable - only go to establish that they can be trusted to provide accurate, unbiased information, not that the information they provide is a show of notability. These articles' existence establishes only that Sagat is as notable as th least notable member of the SF4 and SF5 casts. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 03:00, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Really, everyone from SFII's roster should have an article, and Sagat is no exception. The whole roster is so iconic, that I would be shocked if there's not more out there, besides the sourcing brought up here. And if we count gameplay articles, I don't think it's true we would have articles for the vast majority of characters. Not everyone gets a lot of gameplay coverage, at least not without falling into WP:GAMEGUIDE. So I support keeping the article on those grounds. MoonJet (talk) 07:44, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- On what grounds? You didn't cite anything. Come on, you should know better than thinking that a baseless assertion of being "iconic" is a valid AFD argument. Closing Admin discount this sort of fluff. Sergecross73 msg me 12:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment Because I feel, in good faith, some editors are arguing more because they like the subject than practicality, I'm going to point out the essay WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES: just because something is iconic, doesn't make it notable. We've seen several examples of that. So repeating "there has to be sources!" does not mean a lot if there are sources to cite. If you want to help, find sources that satisfy SIGCOV, but "I'd be surprised if there wasn't more out there!" is not only not an argument it's a bit rough to people that have tried per WP:BEFORE to find said sources.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 07:57, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- It's not really an argument for keeping the article, per say, just a little benefit of the doubt. If I had nothing else to add besides that, I wouldn't be !voting at all. MoonJet (talk) 08:04, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
- Not everyone gets gameplay coverage, but Sagat is getting gameplay coverage because every Street Fighter character gets gameplay coverage. This is something that I would expect to show notability of a list of characters, not to say that each individual character is notable if they get this couple of sources. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 17:18, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

- The merits appear to be that Sagat and his gameplay is important to the professional Street Fighter scene. One might find this trivial perhaps, if you are not a fan of watching Street Fighter, but that would be an issue of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. It still qualifies as establishing context and making the article not indiscriminate. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:05, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Zxcvbnm:: You know every character, especially for titles like SF4, got articles like that. Again you're trying to present the argument that somehow Sagat is unique in this case when he isn't. Also please actually read what articles like WP:IDONTLIKEIT because it's been very well explained how the source doesn't work for notability in their view.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:16, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I find it strange to call it IDONTLIKEIT when we're pointing out that the two gameplay articles are indiscriminate. I believe that Sagat is important to the scene, just as many SF characters are, but the point we're making is that these two sources don't show that he's important. Maybe if Sagat was one of like, five characters to get a gameplay article, that would be notable - but he's not. [116] [117] [118] [119] [120] [121] [122] [123] [124] [125] [126] [127] [128] [129] [130] [131] @Zxcvbnm: This is a glorified "list of Street Fighter IV characters" article, covering the characters not because they're notable, but because SFIV is notable. Now, looking at the shacknews citation: [132] [133] [134] [135] [136] [137] Sagat's shacknews article was done because he was a DLC character, and they did this for all of the SFV DLC up to a point. They didn't do it because they found Sagat notable, the least notable SF character would have gotten this article if they were featured as part of the DLC they covered. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Either we downgrade IGN as a reliable source because they made all these articles, or we accept that they mean that all of these characters they consider notable. I don't think the fact that there is an article for each character diminishes its significance, unless they were all lumped together in a single listicle somehow. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 19:00, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- That's a ridiculous premise. This is not significant coverage. The fact that you admit that if these articles were combined into a list should be proof that you're not even arguing that the content is significant coverage. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 19:06, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
- Some of the articles were posted several weeks apart. I'm afraid I don't see what's so ridiculous about saying they are each an independent article.

- It says nothing, because the fact that 100% of SF4's cast got one of these articles tells us that IGN would have written about any character in SF4 and give them their own separate articles. It's essentially saying that the SF4 cast as a collective being notable affects the notability of the individual characters, which is silly. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 09:53, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- C. Viper and Dudley both got 1 and 2 pages, respectively, in Undisputed Street Fighter (unless you count a cosplayer dressed as C. Viper) while Sagat got a 5-page spread. The C. Viper AfD claimed that C. Viper had 5 pages on her, but did not really go into how much coverage was on those pages or what exactly it was. That is why I don't believe I would be a hypocrite for daring to !vote weak keep on Sagat.

Relisting comment: Policy based input would be helpful
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 02:11, 2 August 2023 (UTC)- Redirect and Merge to List of Street Fighter characters. From what I've seen of this discussion, it's mostly a lot of "He has to be notable!" and while I agree, he very likely is, there just don't seem to be enough sources backing him up. General notability doesn't matter much on Wikipedia unless there's sources to back it up. If that wasn't the case, nearly every Pokemon would still have an article right now. I'd love to keep Sagat around and frankly I feel there's some good grounds for a potential revival in the future, but the current situation, from my observations, seems to indicate that there just isn't enough for Sagat to stand on. If some more sources get discovered, ping me, and I'll be willing to change my vote. As it stands, I feel merging is the best option, as it retains all of Sagat's major information. Pokelego999 (talk) 22:13, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
- Comment I hate to make a second comment here, but I feel in good faith there's a heavy amount of WP:ILIKEIT involved in this mess, primarily with some claiming that the character should be notable due to the others or being "iconic", which time and again has been proven to not be a standard with previous AfD's. Additionally despite the claims above, no additional sources have been added to the article, its talk page as part of ref ideas, or mentioned here. The main argument is that at this time Sagat does not pass notability, and that the major sources provided as a counter to that assertion mainly consist of How-To content specific to one specific game with no citeable commentary about the character. Sources may manifest down the road as they have with other character, and they could (and should) be worked onto the character list entry until we have a point the article can be revived. But for a character that is over thirty years old, the fact there is so staggeringly little we can cite is a big moment of pause.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete I did some searching, and the best I found are some articles from reliable sources (like IGN) mentioning Sagat, but virtually none specifically about Sagat that weren't fan blogs or similar sites. It's doesn't matter how "iconic" Sagat is, he's evidently not iconic enough to receive coverage by reliable sources.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cortador (talk • contribs)
- I think delete is a virtual impossibility here as there is a clear WP:ATD even if Sagat is decided to not be notable. I am curious to know if you believe, specifically, that Shacknews and IGN as well as the Undisputed Street Fighter section are not "specifically about Sagat". They seem primarily about him as a character. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:03, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- The first article is a self-described guide, which I don't think is a good source, leaving a single article on one specific incarnation of Sagat. I've never hear of Undisputed Street Fighter, so I can't comment on that. That said, I can't see any of these sources in the actual article, so if you want to preserve the article, feel free to add them. Cortador (talk) 12:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Undisputed Street Fighter is linked here.
- See WP:NEXIST, AfDs are not predicated on what's actually in the article.
- I should also say that guides are not restricted for use as sources. WP:NOTGAMEGUIDE applies to the content of articles. However, I also recently found this article from Japan Times about how Sagat was used as an ambassador for tourism for Saga Prefecture. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:07, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- As others have noted, Sagat appears mostly, if not exclusively, in list of one kind or another (e.g. the guide articles exists for all SF4 characters, and the book also covers all characters), indicating that it's less Sagat being notable, and simply the Street Fighter games and franchise.

- Merge. The reception section is poorer than that of many similar artices we merged. Existence of how-to gaming guides is not very helpful - such guides can be found for many aspects of many games, that doesn't mean they become notable. It's just a quirk of modern day Intenet. If we treated them as SIGCOV, we would suddenly get hundreds of articles about quests or puzzles from various games, in addition to every playable character becoming notable.

- Keep. I looked through Hindi news to find some coverage of this school. Most sources for this area are likely in non-online archives. Nonetheless, I found one article in Dainik Bhaskar about the school's christmas program. I also saw the school performed very prominently in the board exams, suggesting to me it is a prominent school in the area. I don't actally know Hindi, but managed to find these sources. I say it is very high probablity there has been sustained news coverage about this school, that may not be easy to access online. Nonetheless, I think the article is viable as a stub.

- Comment, I want to point to WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which clearly states that, "Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them" (probably suggestions of C.Fred & Joyous! are on similar lines.).
- Also, the point to be noted is that this article was created in 2007 (~10years before February 2017 RFC), when "secondary schools were assumed notable unless sources could not be found to prove existence". So, the artice was not only created in good-faith but also was valid for 10years of it's existence as per then WP policies. Now i.e., after 2017-RFC, which although says, "Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist", but also states, "References to demonstrate notability may be offline, and this must be taken into consideration before bringing a page to AfD." & "Editors should not flood AfD with indiscriminate or excessive nominations.", there is a drive to delete this article. IMHO, the article although a stub, doesn't violates any policy (especially related to negative matters like spam,promotion, etc.) and covers a ~46years old important secondary educational institute of Barabanki district (a area with not much coverage by media in general and English media in particular). Considering these points, I still believe that article merits strong keep, worst case there may be a merge/redirect but definitely no delete.--Fztcs 05:17, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- The RFC also had this to say:
- "The argument that sources for secondary schools are more difficult to find than they are for typical topics because they are likely to be concentrated in local and/or print media is very valid. Additionally, the argument that removing the presumption of notability from schools would increase systematic bias is very strong."
- I also note this argument made in the RFC debate has proven correct:
- "even if this RfC agrees on a consensus that schools must be shown to meet GNG, I have zero hope that this principle will be applied to secondary schools in the Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, or the United States. There will be arguments over whether or not the extensive local coverage counts, but it will likely be resolved in favour of the high school. The consensus of WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES will likely still be the de facto consensus for schools in these countries. This RfC was largely started because of outcomes of no consensus or delete for schools in South Asia." Jagmanst (talk) 05:49, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Regardless, this particular school has significant coverage in media. It has been shown to be significant especially with regards to its district leading examination performance, which is neither routine or run of the mill. So despite not being a western school, it should be kept. Jagmanst (talk) 05:53, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - contra the keep claims, provided coverage is threadbare and doesn't add up to GNG. Bhaskar is brief coverage of a pageant performed by students of the school, with nearly nothing about the school itself; Amarujala lists high-ranking students' test scores from several schools, including multiple students from St. Anthony, but again no real coverage of the school itself. If there were a lot more examples like the Bhaskar piece I would flip to keep on an WP:NEXIST basis that a school generating that much routine coverage has almost surely produced significant coverage somewhere, but with just the one I'm not convinced. Arguments regarding over a decade of evolving consensus on school notability come off as wiki-lawyering. signed, Rosguill talk 14:58, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
- Actually I put a whole lot of other media coverage similar to Bhaskar. See footnote 8. Footnote 7 shows TV news coverage about the school's exceptional exam performance.

The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. ✗plicit 01:07, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete, does not appear to meet WP:BASIC or any other WP:BIO. I cannot find a single English langauge reference with SIGCOV. Ping if sources are found in another language. —siroχo 04:19, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, very clearly fails WP:SPORTCRIT in the current state and can't find any other sources at a glance. --AlexandraAVX (talk) 07:17, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Comment Pretty much the entire roster of the Pro Cycling Team Fanini in 2019 is not at all notable and I would like to nominate as a group the whole roster. If anyone finds that any do meet the criteria we can definitely make an exception but from a glance none of them come at all close to meeting WP:NCYCLING. Seacactus 13 (talk) 15:57, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete Does not meet WP:GNG is not notable in the slightest. I also agree with Seacactus that the whole roster needs to be nominated as they do not meet any requirements of a page. Paulpat99 (talk) 07:20, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Delete or draftify until release. Unreleased film. Unknown producer. Per Wikipedia:Notability (films), Similarly, films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines

- Delete As per the nomination, the film is yet to release, and I have reason to believe it never will. Photography began in October of 2020? It's nearly been 3 years and no word of the film has come out since. COVID-19 hit the Malayalam film industry hard and this film was one that was hit. It also fails WP:GNG and the producers (maybe multiple if we look at the article itself?) are unknown. IncompA 02:53, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, does not meet WP:NFF as the production itself is not notable. —siroχo 04:23, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Primary sources supplied, hardly anything in gnews. Fails WP:NSCHOOL. LibStar (talk) 23:26, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - no indication of notability. The majority of the content was unreferenced biographical information of unambiguously non notable people associated with the school. Short of something monumental like a (heaven forbid) school shooting or a major scandal, it's doubtful there ever will be enough sourcing to meet NSCHOOL. 4.37.252.50 (talk) 22:58, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
