Revision as of 11:04, 10 December 2023
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus. I'm closing this discussion as No Consensus with the knowledge that this article might make a return trip to AFD in the future (I'm talking weeks or months, not hours). Please do not renominate this article soon as I don't expect anything to dramatically change from the current discussion and that would likely result in a procedural close.
Also, those editors seeking to Merge all or part of this article can start a discussion about this possibility on the article talk page and also raise the question on the talk page of the target article. Liz Read! Talk! 23:49, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- All-woman Israeli tank crew fight (2023) (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)
Article currently does not satisfy any of the five Notability guidelines, namely the presence of significant, independent and secondary reliable sources reporting on it. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:08, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: as not only an entirely non event, but also merely a public relations talking point for one side of a conflict and an instance of extreme POV/whitewashing. Unencyclopedic nonsense. Iskandar323 (talk) 10:27, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: as also explained on talk page it is from one sided viewpoint without neutral sources. Shadow4dark (talk) 10:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- The point that whoever attempted to commit acts of terror, failed and then didn't comment on it has nothing to do here. Almost none of the articles on terrorist attacks has opinion of whoever commit acts of terror. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 12:22, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: This deletion proposal is unusually weak in policy-based reasoning and fails to perform even a minimal Google search to find significant, independent and secondary sources that establish notability before nominating this article for deletion. I found these in less than 2 minutes. Even 2 or 3 of these are enough to meet the notability requirements for news events.
- Furthermore, the event has enduring historical significance, as it was one of the first-ever female tank crews to engage in active combat, proving women's capability to match men in battle.
- Marokwitz (talk) 12:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, there's some news coverage on the tank crew as part of the extremely localised news cycle in Israel, yes. It's unclear how that fragment of local news coverage suddenly makes a random skirmish by an individual tank crew a notable event. Fails WP:EVENTCRIT, particularly WP:EFFECT and WP:GEOSCOPE, as well as WP:NOTNEWS. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not true. Australia is not part of Israel. Belarus is not part of Israel. And etc. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 12:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Belarusian news is scraping the barrel a bit isn't it? But yeah, I'm sure there's some other coverage. But the question is of what? The Australian piece, as part of its analysis, notes that the spun story is part PR operation. But the topic here isn't shameless PR operations by the IDF, which certainly is a notable topic; it's the claim that some random firefight is individually notable. Iskandar323 (talk) 13:33, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I missed seeing "scraping the barrel" being mentioned in WP:GEOSCOPE and I also didn't see this about your argument regarding the Australian piece. However I do see sources that state that the event was notable as well as unique in history, that it's a first ever female tankers fight. Regarding WP:NOTNEWS it's clearly seen that the first information with analysis came up a few month after the actual event which at least means it was not an impulsive news. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 13:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I mean, the "first female tank crew" fight part is just bollocks in the first place. There were plenty of female tanks crews in Russia as far back as WWII, so the claim to fame is ahistorical nonsense. China also has such crews. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:38, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- You are missing the point here. There were female tankers before. No one denied it. However. First, it's "all-women tank crew" and even your own source says it about Israel as well and not Russian or China. Second, such crew engaged in active fight and won. Third, if needed, in the Middle East. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 14:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- False: This article states, "Russia unveiled its first-ever female tank crew in the 2019 Army Games hosted for international armies." It does not mention that an "all-female tank crew" was ever deployed in battle. Did you even read this source? Marokwitz (talk) 14:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- The point remains that female tank crews of various nationalities have existed for years, including in Syria's 800-strong female battalion (also promoted for propaganda reasons). Iskandar323 (talk) 17:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, we did mention before that such formations were present. But were they also the first ever female tank crews in the West to engage in active combat, lasting for 17 hours? With regards, Oleg Y. (talk)
- I'm not sure when Israel became definitively "the West" ... They're in the Eurovision song contest, sure, but ... Iskandar323 (talk) 18:26, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- A mix of feminism, a public relations war over the treatment of women, and Belarusian news sounds like great ingredients for a notable topic. Marokwitz (talk) 14:05, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Pseudo-feminism. If the IDF had real feminism, its senior commanders might have listened to the female observers who reported Palestinian militants training to breach the wall. But regardless, feminist PR whitewashing remains a separate topic from the actual battle that is ostensibly the topic here ... the main claim to fame of which is an ahistorical and false one. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- It looks like someone might have run out of arguments and is trying to add to this discussion a point that is entirely unrealed to current discussion as well as based on Wikipeda editor's own opinion which was not covered by a reliable sources in relationship to the topic of the discussed article. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 14:49, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- indeed. JM (talk) 11:47, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- WP:IDONTLIKEIT? Marokwitz (talk) 14:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- AGAIN، WP:EVENTCRIT, WP:NOTNEWS Iskandar323 (talk) 15:35, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Again. The event was covered a month and a half after it has happened. And all of the events with the current war can be deleted with the same argument of those two rules. But they are not deleted. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 15:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- One analysis piece a few weeks later ≠ WP:LASTING. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:47, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- It's not one analysis piece and it's not a few weeks later. And it's the same as other current war articles. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 16:52, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Belarusian news is scraping the barrel a bit isn't it?
What do you mean by this? Zanahary (talk) 03:16, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Not true. Australia is not part of Israel. Belarus is not part of Israel. And etc. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 12:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- A google search proves what uou just referenced, five Israeli sources (not independent of the subject) and two mediocre sources. There is no significant coverage by RS for this topic. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Would you mind to clarify if The New York Sun is mediocre or Israeli source? With regards, Oleg Y. (talk)
- Seems like both. The New York Sun is owned by Algemeiner, an Israel-related newspaper. It is also here categorized as a tabloid. [8]
- Please sign at the end using ~~~~. And how does it fit to your original number of 5+2 and no more? I have easily shown that it's already 6+3 (if we count it as both). In addition, there are other sources mentioned in this discussion which increase the numbers. And other sources which were not yet mentioned. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 14:57, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- From the article on the New York Sun:
On November 2, 2021, The New York Sun was acquired by Dovid Efune, former CEO and editor-in-chief of the Algemeiner Journal.
From the article on the Algemeiner Journal:The Algemeiner Journal, known informally as The Algemeiner, is a newspaper based in New York City that covers American and international Jewish and Israel-related news. It is widely read by Hasidic Jews.
I don't think "This newspaper is owned by a person who used to run a Jewish newspaper and Jews are related to Israel" is a valid reason for disqualifying a source. JM (talk) 11:52, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Would you mind to clarify if The New York Sun is mediocre or Israeli source? With regards, Oleg Y. (talk)
- WP:NEVENT requires enduring notability beyond the recent news cycle, which you've failed to demonstrate. Furthermore, we can make up thousands of "first" like this, it doesn't mean every single one of them has enduring historical significance. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 02:03, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, there's some news coverage on the tank crew as part of the extremely localised news cycle in Israel, yes. It's unclear how that fragment of local news coverage suddenly makes a random skirmish by an individual tank crew a notable event. Fails WP:EVENTCRIT, particularly WP:EFFECT and WP:GEOSCOPE, as well as WP:NOTNEWS. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: The subject is notable as this was the "first ever female tank crews in the West to engage in active combat, which lasted 17 hours" as well as "this was most likely the first time in history that a female armored unit participated in a war". It's obvious that The Australian Financial Review is not Israeli source, is reliable and is independent. Haarets is also reliable. As well as others. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 12:22, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Per above, no and no. Russia had female tank crews in WWII - so no, Israeli media has made up a claim to fame without having first googled the claim. Pretty pathetic journalism. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:52, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Russia did not have all-female tank crews in WWII , which is what this article is about. Marokwitz (talk) 15:00, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Uganda did seven years ago, and it graduated 27 female tank personnel and 5 commanders this year. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Quora.com?! C'mom... Facepalm ... Once you make it a relable source like we can come back to it. Or when you make The Daily Mail the reliable source. And where in the second source it says that all-female tank crew was engaged in a battle? Have you read what was written? With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 16:34, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- My response to that is below; this response was to Marokwitz's point, not yours. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:39, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- You understood what I was talking about. All-female tank crews that participated in combat. Marokwitz (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- You do not seem to read what was written. Sources state that it was a first all female tanker crew that was engaged in active fight in Middle East and won. You haven't shown the counter argument to it. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 15:01, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- So it's three caveats now is it? Female tank crew, Middle East and claim of victory against infantry? ... that's getting mighty specific. But beyond the bluster, Syria also had female tank crews that beat back rebels in 2015. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- No, not three. Just one straight point without any caveats. Please read what was written above. And please read what experts have mentioned on it. If needed I can read for you. And I already read. And even if there are 10 caveats if others in reliable sauces believe that it's unique then it's unique. Even if a Wikipedia editor doesn't like it. And please do not cite unreliable sources. The Daily Mail is not a reliable source. You may check it here: WP:DAILYMAIL . With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 15:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- You're quite welcome to Google your own examples of non-uniqueness, including those in Syria. Obviously the daily mail didn't make up a military entity, and you can certainly Google that yourself. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:17, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- It seems you do not read what is written to you which makes the conversation harder, and now you send others to Google after you have failed to provide any data from there... With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 16:19, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I can read just fine thank you, but if you'd like to keep asserting otherwise, we can solve this as hominem behavioural issue on your part at ANI. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Then we should be clear on the arguments which were mentioned. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 16:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Strong risk of WP:BOOMERANG JM (talk) 11:55, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per all keep-sayers above. Coverage is international. Haaretz is Israel's newspaper of record. No problem with a debate on widening the scope to the role of women combattants in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. gidonb (talk) 13:37, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Women in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war and Women in the Israel Defense Forces are already extant articles, so there are plenty of potential pages were a neutral and encyclopedic write up of something related to this could live. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:31, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure why now you are trying to limit pages to cover Israel events. Have you seen the size of the article? It makes sence to have a separate article since it has separate notability and sufficient size. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 14:33, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean. The first link is general; the second Israel-specific. On length: maybe the topic is just inflated and overwritten. The real art of editing is one of concision and brevity. Iskandar323 (talk) 14:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- As an argument to try to delete this article you have mentioned "there are plenty of potential pages were a neutral and encyclopedic write up of something related to this could live". If it doesn't mean that you want to cover the current article on another page and use it as an excuse to delete this please explain what you have meant. Now you are trying to say that topic is allegedly inflated and I say that it's not. It's one wikipedia editor's opinion against another. All the content from the topic is from reliable sources. And even if the article was twice smaller we still have such article as independent from the other broader topics as it clearly shows separate notability. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 14:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- The issue is that it fails WP:NEVENT. Iskandar323 (talk) 16:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- Iskandar323, perfect! And this is a fine WP:SPINOFF. Then all is set to keep as is. Thank you. The alternative would be to have an article about this tank crew and on other women combattants in this war, i.e. a rename and widening of scope. That falls outside the AfD debate yet can be debated on the talk page. gidonb (talk) 15:19, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete - not news, this is trivial material that will need sustained coverage to merit an article for an event. nableezy - 16:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- What is not news and what is trivial? If you came here because of this and this and then clicked on my input please first check what was disused in this conversation above. TLDR: All of the articles about current war are not news, but they are not deleted; this topic had articles published more than 1.5 month after the event occurred so it was not just an immediate news; it covers the first ever all-female tankers fight after WW2 so not trivial. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 16:50, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Please see WP:BLUDGEON. You have made 32 edits to this page and are responsible for close to half its content. We know you want to keep the article. You can stop badgering people who disagree with you. nableezy - 17:32, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link. What I am trying to understand is how my comments in your view are different from my colleague Iskandar323 other than my active participation in the creation of the article. And your count is not quite correct (we do not count fixing typos). I did 20 comments while Iskandar323 did 17 which is pretty similar. But now I'll step out and let others to comment as my point of view should be pretty clear now. With regards, Oleg Y. (talk) 17:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge to Women in the Israel Defense Forces#Combat roles. As a standalone article, this fails WP:NEVENT and WP:GNG in general. It lacks any hint of lasting WP:EFFECT, sources lack WP:DEPTH, and the entire thing lacks WP:PERSISTENCE. It might have qualified as a nine-day wonder if the coverage has lasted another six days. This article appears to be an attempt to give the illusion of significance to a political stunt. Per NEVENT,
political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories" and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable

Parts of it may also have to be rewritten so that it doesn't read like an advert, i.e. not taking the IDF's claims about this being "the first XYZ" at face value.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 01:56, 18 December 2023 (UTC)- Delete as failing WP:NEVENT and being pretty one-sided propaganda. ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 02:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. That was one of the most famous episodes during the attack by Hamas on Israel, and this is reflected in sources. Moreover, this is a unique case in the history of warfare. They made a history [9],[10] My very best wishes (talk) 04:25, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, women served as tankers in many armies, even though this is usually an exception. For example, Aleksandra Samusenko was the only female tanker in the Soviet 1st Guards Tank Army, as our page says. However, I do not know any other episodes with an all-women tank crew, which would be as highly publicized as that one. My very best wishes (talk) 20:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:SUSTAINED as I could find no evidence that this was picked up nationally. Also seems notable that major international news sources like the BBC and New York Times did not feature this event. Esolo5002 (talk) 07:19, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Meets GNG and therefore doesn't need to pass any SNG, however the sources clearly show this meets SNG as well (WP:GEOSCOPE and LASTING). Delete votes are just IDONTLIKEIT that ignores GNG. Source eval:
- Stopped at listing 10 sources, but there are more. The only arguement for deleting this is IDONTLIKEIT.
- The event has lasting historical significance, as it was one of the first-ever female tank crews to engage in active combat, the above sources indicate this clearly. The international level of coverage demonstrates this further. // Timothy :: talk 18:21, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Move: Move or rename it into "Battle of Holit". -UtoD 13:47, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- It seems that the fight has occur somewhere between Holit and Sufa, not just in Holit. The expression "Battle of Holit" does not appear often, but when it does [20], it refers to Holit massacre, which is a different event. My very best wishes (talk) 23:47, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: already covered at Women in the Israel Defense Forces#All-woman Israeli tank crew fight (2023). (See also Holit massacre and Women in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war.) We need to be more critical of IDF claims about vague "firsts" (more generally, many claimed global firsts are repeatedly uncritical by press but are untrue). If the article is to stay, not much of its content could, such as the propaganda blockquotes, blow-by-blow descriptions of a minor fight or non-information like "Their last names have not been disclosed for privacy related security reasons". — Bilorv (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- One journalist dug out, in connection to this fight, that there was only one all-women tank crew in Soviet forces during WWII (they were killed in combat in 1944), and surprisingly, at least one crew in Donetsk People's Republic. But very little is known about them. That was on YouTube, with photos [21]. I think each of these unique tank crews would deserve a separate page if they had a significant coverage in RS, but only this page under discussion has such coverage. My very best wishes (talk) 03:52, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- So this article should say what—"despite IDF claims that it was the first instance, at least two others are known"? Or we have to spell out the heavy lifting done by "in the West" within the claim? How can we write an article where notability is based on a widely repeated claim that is dubious or requires significant contextualisation missing from almost all sources? — Bilorv (talk) 12:35, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Very simple - per WP:V. We have many RS on the subject of this page. Hence, we use them. And, as usual, we just ignore everything that was not published in RS. I doubt that the YouTube record I cited is a great RS; it might be used, but it just as easily can be ignored. My very best wishes (talk) 18:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- Generally reliable publications can be unreliable for particular facts in context. Here the specific articles are perfectly reliable to claim that the IDF's propaganda during warfare stated X. They are not reliable for a very bold historical claim about something being the "first" (which you have cast significant doubt on), whereas a modern war historian may be. An article can't be built on just military propaganda (if we have independent reactions to that propaganda or, after the war, a historical source about the role and context of the propaganda then it's a bit different). — Bilorv (talk) 13:48, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- The YouTube presentation above is consistent with claims currently on this page, it just adds a few details. The page (and the cited source) says: "The young women were the first ever female tank crews in the West to engage in active combat lasting for 17 hours". I do not know why the source classified them as "West/Western" (rather than "East"), but Russia and DNR are definitely not the "West". I agree this East-West thing is subjective, but again if there are other RS about all-women tank crews, one can bring them to this page, no one will object. This is how WP suppose to work. No RS - no content. Note that Haaretz and other sources used on the page are RS. My very best wishes (talk) 17:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
- So, I would certainly include the info about other all-women tank crews to this page, but I can not find it reliably sourced. The Youtube record probably is not good enough, although I have nothing against including it since it was produced by a well known independent journalist.

The article and its sources show that the story originates with the IDF ("according to the IDF", quotes from the IDF, etc) which is not sufficient for the encyclopedia. For example, the Haatetz source source says: "Composed of young women in their early 20s, the tank crews were the first Western women armored soldiers to go into active battle, according to the IDF."

Keep - Not a very syrong case, merging might become consensual after things cool off, but for now notable enough for what it is, see Australian quite nuanced article (‘My Insta blew up’: Feminism and tank warfare in Israel, A. Patrick for The Australian Financial Review, Nov 27, 2023), quote: "It was probably the first time an all-female armoured sub-unit has fought in a war, according to Neil James, executive director of the Australia Defence Association, a pro-military lobby group." Not Israeli, not Jewish, not US, critical ("PR operation", other armies more integrated & less mysoginistic than IDF), but not denying the facts.
Last not least, 100% of the "delete" and "keep" supporters are of the involved I/P type; waiting for a cool-off seems the more so necessary. The war & its effects won't take a turn based on this. Arminden (talk) 00:07, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: This is notable enough to be kept. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:43, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - the Australia and Belarus articles above are two GNG sources, which is barely hitting GNG but it's hitting GNG, and they meet WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:INDEPTH. It's too soon to tell WP:LASTING; no prejudice to re-nom'ing some years down the road if LASTING isn't met. Merging to the Women in IDF article would overwhelm that article. Doesn't matter if they were actually the first at anything or if they're used for propaganda by their gov't or what they did in any battle... just matters that we have two independent international in depth sources covering them, and it's too soon to tell WP:LASTING.

The concept of a debate camp doesn't seem to be notable in-and-of itself, with this page basically being a collection of primary sources linking to different camps.

- Keep -- This is the edge of WP:DINC. This purports to be an article, but is effectively a list of debate camps which definitely does not belong in the encyclopaedia (WP:NOTDB and WP:NOTDIRECTORY). However, it could become an actual article. I am seeing solid, secondary and tertiary references including [22], [23], and [24] (p38-40, 112-118). There are hundreds more, but this will be a monster to research digitally with the challenging signal-to-noise ratio noted by nominator. As for GNG, I think that this is a pretty mainstream concept with lots of supporting RS. Debate camps are a big deal for certain educational tracks, mainly for secondary schoolers but also for some adult learners. I can't find it any longer, but there was an excellent piece of MBA coursework a decade or two ago comparing the net impact of debate camps to programmes such as Toastmasters; its bibliography would have made a wonderful launchpad to sources.

- This is not an encyclopaedic topic. This is kinda like if we had an article Yorkshiremen or Manitoban or Adelaidean that was positioning residents of those geographical areas as separate ethnic groups (all three of the above are redirects). Whoever said "splicing together unrelated information" nailed it. There's no sources discussing "江淮人" as an ethnic group.It's extra weird because it feels like some irredentist Jianghuai local pushing for the recognition of their natal area's people as some distinct and separable subset of Han Chinese, right? But the citations to Chinese sources are so bungled I can't believe anyone with a familiarity with the language could have done this.Redirect to Jiangnan or delete. Folly Mox (talk) 19:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- Jianghuai is the area north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province and does not belong to Jiangnan. Redirecting is inappropriate. 日期20220626 (talk) 01:43, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
- As someone who edited similar pages in past IP adresses, strong disagree, nowhere in the page are the Jianghuai people stated as an "ethnic group", but as a regional subgroup of Han people, like the Sichuanese or Wuyue, speaking Jianghuai chinese and sharing some cultural aspects and history by simply being in the same region of China, so saying otherwise is disingenuous as this is not what the page says. Just because it has a problem of sources here for now, doesn't mean it doesn't warrant a page. It was good enough for Wikipedia in Mandarin so maybe we're missing something, nothing says there aren't any. My familiarity with such subjects indicate to me this is a quite recent and currently fringe phenomenon of national genesis, pioneered by a cultural theorist and historian named Liu Zhongjing, who had a master in history studies at Wuhan University. He is quite the active figure in chinese opposition spaces with his philosophy of auntology. Perhaps there are other figures who talked about this within this philosophy? Perhaps it could be reworked as a hub for siocultural particularities, culture specific to this region? Just food for thought --142.170.60.67 (talk) 00:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- However, no source can be found that fully introduces the concept of Jianghuai people, and Liu Zhongjing does not seem to have invented the concept of JACs, and his own teachings are marginal. Wikipedia should not create its own concept. 日期20220626 (talk) 11:22, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. There seems to be some merit to the idea that few if any sources treat "Jianghuai people" as a separate "ethnic group" compared to the clearly adequate coverage of Lower Yangtze Mandarin as a separate topolect, but the suggestion that Wikipedia shouldn't or doesn't, have articles on Han Chinese subgroups is just wrong. As many of the sources are in Chinese I don't feel confident balancing the different considerations myself, but wanted to clear up what seemed to be confusion above.

The result was no consensus. While there has been a late shift in sentiment that points to 'keep' due to changes to the article during this debate, the changes to the article actually make it really hard for me to assess whether this should be closed as 'keep' or 'no consensus'. This is because some comments were made prior to changes, others after the changes, and the relevance of those made prior to the changes are hard to assess.
What I do know for sure is there is no consensus to delete here in this discussion. I've elected to come down on the side of no consensus for the simple reason that if this needs to be explored again (referencing the 'new' version of the article) in the new year, it can be done earlier than if I was to close as 'keep'.

- How so?
- I thought Wikipedia is a Wikipedia, there is 1 set of global rules. It makes no sense to say that Swedish version can stay, but English version must be deleted.
- Do not close this discussion, I am going to have other unbiased editors like @4TheWynne look at it and decide on the outcome. @Doomsdayer520 Wikirapguru (talk) 23:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- There is not one set of global rules for all Wikipedias. Each Wikipedia community is self-governing. I would agree that if this version of the article is deleted, the Swedish version should also probably be deleted, but that will be up to the editors at Swedish Wikipedia, not us here.

Deleteperabovethe sourcing issues outlined. even if it was notable for the Swedish Wikipedia (which it clearly seems to not be, given the article there has zero sources), the band has nothing reliable on them, just a small cult following and a few seemingly promotional articles. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 18:51, 3 December 2023 (UTC)- I wouldn't read too much into the lack of sources on Swedish Wikipedia. We don't spend as much time cleaning up old articles if they seem plausibly notable, given the much smaller number of editors – whereas sources are required for new articles, it's easier for an old unsourced article to survive on Swedish Wikipedia than on English Wikipedia, which means that people spend less focus sourcing them even if sources could be found.
- (It's not unimportant! It's just that with one editor for every fifty editors on English Wikipedia, there are more articles to handle per editor. Sometimes lack of sources says more about Swedish Wikipedia than about the topic.)
- In this particular case, I'm hopeful but not certain there are good enough sources to save the article. I've started by adding a full-page article from a few years back as a reference. /Julle (talk) 02:34, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- fair enough, I'll keep here then; good work. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 00:03, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment. There are a few hundred articles about them or mentioning them in the Swedish newspaper archive which covers most of the recent years (Retriever Mediearkivet). It's missing most from their early days. I've started adding something. /Julle (talk) 02:27, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Given that we don't have access to the article that you just added, and if you can find a few more sources providing significant coverage, would you mind providing a brief description of each source? Thanks, voorts (talk/contributions) 02:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 08:34, 10 December 2023 (UTC)- In terms of sourcing, Wide Open Country and Ameripolitan are lists of award winners, not SIGCOV. The Bettajive Review is SIGCOV, but the website itself is an SPS. However, the people who run it are formerly journalists, so it's kinda reliable but there's no indication that they have a fact-checker or editor on staff. "Västeråsband kan få pris på världsgala" has no link to it and it's in Swedish, so I can't evaluate. Hopefully by the end of this relisting period @Julle can add some more Swedish sources and do some kind of source analysis so that other editors can evaluate whether those sources establish notability. If that doesn't happen, given that Julle thinks that the band might plausibly be notable, I'd be okay with draftify-ing this. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 17:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've not had time to dig further into this (too much to do given the upcoming holidays, unfortunately).
- The article I've added is a one-page newspaper article from Vestmanlands Läns Tidning about the band when they were nominated to the award mentioned in the article. While I think the coverage is relevant for our assessment, I don't know much about the award itself.
- In short, I hope it might be worth digging further if anyone with the right access has the time to do so, but as of writing this I think the sourcing is a bit weak in the article. /Julle (talk) 22:55, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

- Just to note that I wasn't implying that Swedish sources couldn't be used. I was just stating that I couldn't evaluate that particular source since I don't speak Swedish and don't know how to find it. That said, I still don't think that the current sources provide SIGCOV per my analysis above. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:17, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment. They've played gigs for a few decades, so a lot of the newspaper hits are brief mentions of festival appearances or concerts. Some are reviews (examples: "Ett koncept som håller", Mindy Lara in Borås Tidning, 2 October 2006 (400 words); "En stroke kan inte stoppa en riktig fest", Stefan Nordvall in Sundsvalls Tidning, 15 February 2016; "Rockabilly på riktigt i Hultsfred", Dennis Andersson in Barometern, 5 July in 2010). In addition to what I had added before, I think the most relevant piece is the 1800 words article "The Go Getters hyllar en saknad bandkollega" (2012), which I've included in the article. /Julle (talk) 19:40, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

- Merge and redirect to eliminative materialism - couldn't find many secondary sources which give revisionary materialism much depth - there are some uses by Patricia Churchland and uses of "revisionary physicalism" by John Bickle but these are really more primary sources providing original arguments. The term does have some mentions in the context of eliminative materialism in secondary sources though, including in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ([27], see also [28][29]). Probably worth a mention at eliminative materialism at least. Shapeyness (talk) 20:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

- I notice you didn't search on Google Scholar or in paywalled academic journals. There is a decent amount of coverage of the organization and its activities, i.e. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39], which added together would be enough for GNG but probably not NORG.
- I didn't thoroughly research the others, but I would say some sort of merge to an article about HIV/AIDS research would be superior to deletion, since there is encyclopedic content that can be written about them. (t · c) buidhe 06:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- I searched on google scholar, DDG and DDG news. I did not do a paywalled journal search. My concern is NORG, as I understand it, these organisations publish plenty of research, and the sources you provide could be used for vaginal microbicide for example. As far as a parent article to merge content, two options are Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination and/or Division of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. As can be seen at this image, the web of organisations is big, and these articles I nominated were just the ones in the cluster I couldn't find sources reporting about the organisation itself. Darcyisverycute (talk) 07:36, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- NORG coverage includes coverage of an organization's activities, such as organizing trials of vaginal microbicide (see Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Examples_of_substantial_coverage). The reason it may not count isn't because the content is irrelevant but it may not be in depth enough for NORG. While it's not necessarily trivial to find a merge target, WP:Alternatives to deletion should be considered before an AfD if there is encyclopedic content worth preserving. I would support merging any of these to a parent/sponsoring organization or to HIV/AIDS research (t · c) buidhe 07:45, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, that is what I meant, significant coverage for a topic unrelated to the org (the study objectives and the topic) and not enough coverage for the org and their specific research practices. On its own, I didn't think the three stubs have enough salvageable content to warrant a merge request since their sources are all either primary or not significant coverage, which is why I chose to nominate. But considering the sources you found, maybe the content is worth keeping through a merge when backed up by secondary sources, even if it's minor on its own. Darcyisverycute (talk) 11:27, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Studies run by the org are not "unrelated to the org" any more than reviews of a restaurant's food are unrelated to the notability of the restaurant. (t · c) buidhe 20:06, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- To meet NORG (i.e. WP:ORGCRIT), we need at least two independent, reliable secondary sources with significant coverage. To my understanding, the only difference between NORG and GNG is the condition that the sources are also secondary sources. Studies run by the org are not independent or secondary sources, so they cannot meet ORGCRIT. In any case, NORG generally overrides GNG as NORG is a subject specific notability guideline, although in both cases these are just guidelines and not policies.
- Some restaurant reviews might meet NORG and GNG criteria based on their contents and sources; I am not sure how far to entertain the hypothetical other to say that "it depends". I had a brief glance at the sources you linked, as far as I could tell none of them were both independent and significant coverage. If you still believe the articles warrant keeping, I would kindly appreciate if you could list the top three (or perhaps just one) sources which meet this criteria.
- The source Bluerasberry found is good, although it may not be secondary I am inclined to ignore that if we can find another source of similar quality. I would much rather keep these articles and expand them, and I concur with Bluerasberry that it is unfortunate these kind of orgs avoid media coverage.

Darcyisverycute (talk) 07:36, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Unsure I started this article years ago. The organization closed in 2021 so there are unlikely to be new sources about the org. The org itself wrote a summary of its history; my guess is that it could have spent and consumed about US$100 million from its existence in 2005-2021, doing about 40 medical research trials in many countries, including 12,000 participants. The best reliable source I found about the org is from small town radio, which is nice and counts, but I always regret that these grand multinational, multigovernmental community research projects avoid all media attention. There are lots of sources about the organization's individual clinical trials and their outcomes. It is common practice on Wikipedia that when an individual artist gets attention for their art but not as a person that we keep the biography. When we have stubby articles like this about organizations which could only be built out by describing their programs but not the org itself, we typically delete. Medical papers do not make for good Wikipedia narratives. This org merged into the HIV Prevention Trials Network, which is much bigger. I could support a deletion or redirect/merge of the wiki content here. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Seems completely promotional material and only primary source coverage - all in-article sources are either HPTN or clinicaltrials.gov links to studies ran by HPTN. According to XTools, Emillerfhi360 (talk · contribs) has 85% article ownership, an account with no edits outside the article over a five year period, who has potential undisclosed COI, and was cautioned on the article's talk page. Not to justify the AfD, but this has a huge amount of in-body external links and overlinking, I am surprised it was not picked up by an automated tool.
Searching for independent sources turned up:
- [40], non signficant coverage
- [41], not independent, as Eric Miller is the HPTN press contact ([42])
There are plenty of sources which cite HPTN studies, eg. [43], but I cannot find any independent reliable sources with significant coverage.

- Not sure This organization has probably spent about US$1 billion on its programs. In the field of medical research orgs often avoid the media. I am not sure that this org meets WP:N. Much of the coverage mentioning this org is about its research and programs. I am sure that most of the content here is promotional and if this article is to be kept, then it would benefit from 1) having all promotional or self-published citations deleted then 2) deleting all content without citations. I think the text remaining may be 3-5 sentences. If there is appetite for deleting content, then I support that. I suspect that we could find at least a couple of sources covering the org based on how much money it consumed over decades. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:18, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- I'm a little surprised how little I'm finding. Two things so far:
- Accordng to the index, Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel: A Publishing History mentions A Child of the Revolution on p. 146 and p. 248; it's possible there is significant coverage there but I can't access it.
- This article mentions "A Child of the Revolution, seul opus non traduit de la série" ["the only work not translated in the series", presumably meaning not translated into French] as an example of a Pimpernel novel with an important love story, there's no significant coverage.
- I want to look for reviews from 1932 but haven't found a good database yet. It's an unfortunate gap where things are copyrighted but not widely popular/accessible. The one source in the article is so good it feels like a WP:NBOOK pass should be possible...! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 00:06, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- OK, checking ProQuest Historical Newspapers I found a surprising amount of "not much":
- NYT "Book Notes" Dec 23, 1931, says only "Other works of fiction to be issued during February under the Doubleday, Doran imprint include ... "A Child of the Revolution" by Baroness Orczy." (fun historical coincidence, the first book in this list is A Brave New World!).
- A half dozen lists of books available in China in the 30s, this one listed also
- "Meet the Baronness Orczy", 1934 says only "I did ask what books she had written lately. 'Well, you see, so many of my readers wrote to me and implored me to write more about the same characters in The Scarlet Pimpernel series, so I wrote A Child of the Revolution to please them. You would not believe how many people write to me from all over the world.'"
- The only actual review I can find traces off is one by Jerry Siegel (the creator of Superman) in his high school newspaper. I find this quite intriguing and it would certainly be sigcov but of course a high school paper is not an RS.
- Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters & the Birth of the Comic Book "He wrote occasional book reviews for The Torch, breathless advertisements for the most socially acceptable of the books he loved. “The Reign of Terror— the guillotine descending swiftly on innocent and guilty alike. The only hope lies in the aid of the ‘Scarlet Pimpernel,’ a mysterious Englishman who risks his life to save . . . the unjustly condemned.” Surely no one else on the wise-ass Torch staff would have gushed so over Baroness Orczy’s Child of the Revolution, but Jerry loved the Pimpernel and Zorro and all those secret heroes who masquerade as mild-mannered citizens." (65-6)
- "Looking for Lois Lane": "It soon became clear Siegel was the mysterious author behind certain pieces that appeared in the Torch. One was a review of the Baroness Orczy's "A Child of the Revolution" (1932), the last in a series of novels about an English nobleman who dons mask and costume nights to fight for the oppressed . . . as the Scarlet Pimpernel."
- I can't shake the feeling that this is the sort of book which ought to have gotten some reviews in 1931, but the evidence is really against me! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 03:00, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
Merge. Okay, after having done a bunch of digging and checking out some of the other Pimpernel novel articles, I'd like to propose that actually an appropriate outcome here would be the creation of List of Scarlet Pimpernel novels, structured as a prose list (with headings) which provides brief plot summaries of each novel. The series overall certainly gets all kind of coverage! There can be links out to 'main' articles for the subset of these novels which have more substantial independent coverage. If the consensus is to create this list article, I volunteer to make it (please ping me). ~ L 🌸 (talk) 03:07, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
- OK, checking ProQuest Historical Newspapers I found a surprising amount of "not much":

- I think Elmidae is right to keep this, but I'd point out that Humic acids are the gardener's equivalent of complementary medicine, a thing where products whose composition isn't even known to the producer are offered for sale with promises of enhanced plant growth based on extremely scanty evidence and no scientific basis. Like complementary medicine, everyone involved in humic acids is very vocal, but the terminology is more impressive than the underlying facts. We should keep this organisation not on the basis that it supports important science, but on the basis that it's generated evidence of notability in a field that gets written-about.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Daniel (talk) 12:27, 24 December 2023 (UTC)- I don't know much about participating in these, feel free to delete my comment if I am not meant to say anything.
- I also don't know if humic acids being (allegedly) unfounded or under-evidenced as useful in gardening really undermines the scientific credentials or focus of the International Humic Substances Society. But from what I see of the research they support, I'll go ahead and mildly doubt it. It doesn't seem like they are restricted to supporting research into if whichever acid helps whatever garden crop, and instead include a wide range of topics about humic substances.
- In general, I find even short records of professional societies to be very useful for a popular encyclopedia to cover. Even historically, paper book encyclopedias would keep track of these things because it's an incredibly useful resource for someone - especially a student or any young person - to run into. It records the landscape of a profession. Sometimes it helps underline the mere existence of an otherwise obscure profession or specialization. And this is an international society. It is not a 20 person club of friends with similar interests. It appears referenced directly in many academic articles. And it continues to have conferences (is not defunct). Not to be rude to people interested in other things, but I can think of a lot I would delete instead. Soil is what we depend on for life as much as water and air. Whatever is going on in the field is particularly notable to me.
- The article should have more sources, for sure. It would also be good to have it better integrated into the larger Wiki and linked to from more soil science related articles. And should be re-written to be a little in the first paragraph to be less ad-copy-ish. I may just do that small part, then people can undo it if it is worse.
- About potential other sources, here's some:
- https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4395/13/4/1044 - "[...]we studied the standardized samples of HS of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS)." ... could be used as an independent source to show and characterize an activity of the society in supporting soils research
- https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11356-023-26398-3 - more of the above
- https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S004313541530021X - etc
- https://experts.umn.edu/en/publications/suwannee-river-natural-organic-matter-isolation-of-the-2r101n-ref
- https://chembioagro.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40538-021-00229-4 - there's actually quite a lot of these studies where somehow it's the IHSS that provides the materials - I think that should be covered but lack the technical background in this area to say for sure or to say exactly how it should be done
- https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=594703604&hl=en&sxsrf=AM9HkKlmO1zdHuPzIE9DqtqzXFXVRISa1Q:1704008925634&q=inauthor:%22International+Humic+Substances+Society.+International+Meeting%22&tbm=bks - sources from within the group's conferences, useful
- I might even be able to add this source, as it's less technical:
- ^^ Chin, YP., McKnight, D.M., D’Andrilli, J. et al.

Video game character of dubious notability. Reception is limited to listicles and starts unimpressively with "In 2012, GamesRadar+ ranked Agent 47 as the 47th...". My BEFORE failed to find anything useful other than plot summaries; academic reception is limited to passing mentions in an undergraduate paper and one book (note: I could only access snippets which don't suggest SIGCOV is met).

- Me personally, I feel 47 as a character is too notable to be delisted, as he seems to be generally well recognized within gaming as a whole. This doesn't mean his article can't be edited with better citations to other articles discussing him and the critical reception around him, as well as a complete removal of any academic studies of his character (he's no Isaac Clarke or Adam Jensen when it comes to this). This is just my suggestion, and you don't have to do it. Chiefmister (talk) 05:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge with Hitman (franchise): Currently, the Hitman (franchise) article has no descriptions of the games' characters, including 47. While I agree that the sources here don't establish notability, largely because they're listicles, and I haven't uncovered any further sources, several of the sources are from generally reliable publications and can be used to draft a description of 47 to be included in the article on the franchise. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Although I appreciate the sources identified in this discussion, I still think that this should be merged. As @Kung Fu Man has noted, the PC Gamer, Polygon, and PCGamesN articles are all basically game reviews with brief descriptions of 47. I don't think any of the listicles establish notability, including The Telegraph article cited by @OwenX. There is nothing in the notability guidelines that says that once something hits mainstream news, it's notable. The book that @Zxcvbnm cited uses 47 as an example for how the player navigates the game, rather than a description of the character himself. In all, I think the sources identified amount to a significant amount of trivial coverage, rather than a sufficient amount of significant coverage. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Merge...for now While my gut is telling me there should be more for 47 online, even looking at a 2018 version of it with a larger reception section shows it was all lists. I feel too WP:TNT should also come into play here: what's here, much like early Pokemon articles, is mostly uncited and useless, and if sources do manifest whatever editor works on it will likely be starting over from near scratch anyway.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 09:12, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- While I do feel there is some commentary in those first two articles Zx, they feel primarily about the games and related gameplay. Keep in mind this is me skimming through them after only being up a few hours, but arguing they're full articles on the character feels like a misnomer. And that ends up another problem with Agent 47: a lot of his commentary is hard to separate from commentary about how the game plays.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 10:29, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- He also got an article in The Ringer about his character too. Vox is considered a WP:RS, even though they also own Polygon, it's different enough to be a distinct site and source.

I'm really convinced what's here isn't usable, and after this many years of being in this state (and until recently a much WORSE state), I don't see it viably being an article without being started over from zero with what's there.

- TNT doesn't make sense to me here, as no part of the article is technically "bad" besides the reception. The reception needs to be rewritten and current reception sources mostly or entirely discarded, but otherwise it can be kept. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:21, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

- I have also found yet another SIGCOV here, in a book about villains in media.

That book, with PCGamesN and The Ringer are a solid three (Noting, The Ringer is an SBNation site with a proper masthead and the author is a professional journalist who has written for many RS). PC Gamer and Polygon are helpful as well—though Polygon seems to rely a bit on quotes from a creative director. This meets WP:GNG. —siroχo 04:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: significant coverage by reliable mainstream news such as the Telegraph swayed me away from my initial tendency to merge such articles.

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing notability criteria for writers. As always, writers are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to show notability markers such as notable literary awards and/or the reception of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them and their work in real reliable sources -- but the only notability claim being attempted here is that his work exists, and the only source being cited is his "staff" profile on the self-published website of his own publisher, which is not a notability-building source.
As I can't read Arabic, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with the necessary language skills and resource access can find enough improved sourcing to salvage it -- but nothing in this version of the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this.

- Delete: I don't believe that the award itself is notable to warrant its own article, so individual years shouldn't have articles either. I do not believe that merging is appropriate because then the bulk of the TV Tonight article would be two years' worth of awards tables (and more if others decided to continue adding on), which is undue. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:59, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete for the same reasons discussed above. I don't see benefit of a merge for the same WP:UNDUE reasons already highlighted.

- Dunneville, California (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)
Contested PROD. This is an interesting one: The site is actually a restaurant-bar: [48]; it was once a rural saloon that became informally known as Dunneville because of a local rancher, James Dunne, who was a regular there ([49]). Later a Dunneville Estates housing development was built nearby (Ref. 2 in the article). So we have a stub article because GNIS somehow picked up an in-joke about an alcoholic farmer who spent his days at a local tavern. Neither restaurants nor housing developments are inherently notable per WP:GEOLAND, and therefore WP:GNG applies. I would argue this article does not reach that bar, as the few references I can find are about the restaurant and not the "community". This is just a rural intersection with an old bar, a new housing development just to the north, and what looks like a wood chip yard (see satellite image of the coordinates). Not notable.

MoveDelete - Dunneville, California clearly never existed,move article to Dunneville Ranch or similar, or merge if such article exists. The bar can become a section of the this newly titled article.The existing article is about a nonnotable, never existing place and WP:GNG is clear that these must be deleted or merged. James.folsom (talk) 02:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)- Keep Well-sourced article about a former place on the map. Appears to pass GNG and I don't see any reason to delete this well-written article. SportingFlyer T·C 02:16, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
- delete It's not clear where the name really comes from but it's reasonably clear that there was no settlement here by this or another name. If there is felt to be a need to have an article on the ranch, it can be created on its own. Mangoe (talk) 05:05, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
