Article subject does not meet GNG and is mostly a genealogical entry. WP:NOTGENEOLOGY . D1551D3N7 (talk) 17:52, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Histoires Royales is a non-expert blog, it cannot be used as a source. And the award is certainly not enough to meet ANYBIO. JoelleJay (talk) 19:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@D1551D3N7: Why would they be hinged on that single source rather than the ones already in the article? I pointed out the source I linked is an additional source, not that it's the only source.
As for the award, it meets WP:ANYBIO #1, which says, "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times." There's nothing in the description of that criteria that weighs how often the award it presented. It's well known, and significant, as it's the highest level of honor in Germany.--Gym Samba (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are many degrees of the order and he received one of the lower degrees. For a similar example, not everyone who is an Officer of the Order of the British Empire is notable enough by virtue of their reward to get a Wikipedia article. 66.99.15.163 (talk) 21:06, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the fact Wittekind received this award is so significant why is the only reference available an article from 2001 in a small regional newspaper? I can't even find out what class of honour it was.
There's an essay (not a policy) here Wikipedia:Notability_(awards_and_honors) that mentions the problems with the interpretation of awards significance for notability. D1551D3N7 (talk) 21:34, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comilla Polytechnic Institute

Comilla Polytechnic Institute (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The only independent reliable sources found are brief mentions within primary source news reports about broader events (e.g. https://www.thedailystar.net/news-detail-75355, https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/5enz43u7pl, etc.). Per WP:SIRS, primary sources do not count towards establishing notability. This title was previously redirected to the supervising Bangladesh Technical Education Board, where the school is listed, but the redirect was removed by an editor without regard to Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Worldbruce (talk) 16:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Worldbruce, non-profit and government-run schools don't have to comply with WP:SIRS. They only have to meet the GNG.
Also, did you check for sources in the Bengali language? Or in the local newspapers, such as the ones listed in Comilla#Media? When an article says that a secondary school is one of the oldest and largest of its type in its entire country, and that it has thousands of students, the failure to find sources usually turns out to say more about our limited search skills than the actual availability of sources. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:02, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@WhatamIdoing: Nearly all of my editing is of Bangladesh-related topics, so I'm constantly searching in Bengali, but sometimes forget that not everyone will know that, and neglect to mention it explicitly in nominations. In addition to general searches in Bengali, I specifically searched three local news outlets that in my experience are reliable: amodbd, comillarkagoj and dailyamadercomilla.
My reading of WP:ORG is that all schools must comply with WP:SIRS or WP:GNG, so I agree with you in part. Although WP:ORG's second sentence says "The scope of this guideline covers all groups ... with the exception of non-profit educational institutions, ...", its subsection WP:NSCHOOL says "All universities, colleges and schools, ... must satisfy either the notability guidelines for organizations (i.e., this page) or the general notability guideline." The subsection goes on to say that with respect to WP:ORG, for-profit educational institutions must in addition satisfy WP:COMMERCIAL. WP:SIRS is not part of the commercial requirements, but part of the top level "Primary criteria" section. WP:GNG doesn't spell it out as forcefully as WP:SIRS does, but says "'Sources' [used to establish notability] should be secondary sources ..." I can substitute that language for what I said about WP:SIRS in the nomination if you prefer, but the thrust of my argument remains the same.
It's true that Comilla Polytechnic Institute (1962) is one of the oldest government polytechnics in what is now Bangladesh, but the same can be said of the other 20 or so that were set up between 1955 and 1964. About 30 more have been established, I think all since 2000. Very little has been written about them individually, but some sources cover them collectively, so I believe a redirect to an article that treats them as a group is best. --Worldbruce (talk) 02:47, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The GNG doesn't "spell it out as forcefully" as SIRS because the GNG doesn't agree with SIRS. Secondary sources are not necessarily rare; a source that says CPI is "one of the oldest" is a secondary source (because it's comparing it against other schools, and comparison is a form of analysis, and analysis is the hallmark of a secondary source).
IMO some of the best sources for schools are government agency reports that cover multiple schools. A report that says something like these are bigger than those, these are cheaper than those, these require higher test scores than those, etc. would be perfect for getting a decent little encyclopedia article together for each of the schools in the report. (Neither CORP nor GNG require a source to be exclusively about the subject, though obviously the parts of a source that discuss only 'School 1' are not useful for determining whether 'School 2' is notable.)

  • Delete: I can only find Fandom sites and wiki mirrors, none of which are notable. The one source used in the article is a listing only. I don't find enough sourcing to use for an article. Oaktree b (talk) 23:36, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. LibStar (talk) 19:08, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Absolutely non-notable. MisterWizzy (talk) 11:10, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like to see what @Flibirigit: (deproder, searching on Google returns multiple Russian and Kazakhstan-language sources available to expand her biography) found before deleting this three-time Asian Games gold medalist and Olympian. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:12, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @BeanieFan11 me too but as I said above, they made the statement, added nothing to the article and I cannot find the content they refer to. If I could've then I would've added it myself. They have also been totally silent in the nine days since I AFDed this article. Shrug02 (talk) 20:46, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Like the others in this discussion, I couldn't find anything that could be used to show notability for this BLP. Without WP:SIGCOV, this subject does not meet the WP:GNG. Participating in the Olympics or any other competition is irrelevant for the purposes of this discussion. Let'srun (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • According to the Russian Wikipedia she was Master of Sports of International Class of the Republic of Kazakhstan [ru], a title which appears to be the highest honor for Kazakh sportspeople, which arguably would pass WP:ANYBIO. She was also vice captain of the national team and seems to have been considered one of the most prominent players on it. Unless there's evidence that some Kazakh newspaper was searched from her time period, I'd lean towards keeping. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:56, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Unless I'm missing something there, there isn't a cited source for that claim. Let'srun (talk) 15:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I wonder if a redirect could be possible at all. There seems to be a chance that she is notable but nobody has come forward with any Russian language sources that may or may not exist. But I'm not sure what that target would be? Adamtt9 (talk) 16:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – I've found several sources that imply Adiyeva/Mussatayeva was a prominent member of the Kazakh national team and appears to have been a player with whom the public was familiar (1, 2, 3, 4). Her career with Aisulu Almaty – Kazakhstan's most successful women's club team – spanned well over a decade. Despite her apparent importance as a figure in Kazakh women's hockey, I've had the same difficulty as other respondents with finding substantial coverage. The transliteration of her name poses a hurdle for sourcing in English, as I’ve encountered a broad number of transliterations: Viktoriya/Viktoria Adyeva/Adiyeva/Adyyeva Mussatayeva/Musatayeva/Musataeva. In Cyrillic, her married surname is also spelled differently between Russian and Kazakh – Russian Виктория Мусатаева versus Kazakh Виктория Мұсатаева (source). I haven’t found a reliable source for her maiden name in Kazakh, which is another limiting factor.
    The Russian Wikipedia article at ru:Мусатаева, Виктория Назымовна is more content-rich than the English language article but its sourcing is also poor.
    All this to say, I feel this is very likely a person for whom substantial coverage exists in Kazakh and Russian printed sources but I conceede that, without those sources, she is unlikely to pass GNG. Spitzmauskc (talk) 18:11, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I had also tried to search the archives of Kazakh newspapers (sports.kz, kazpravda) using her Cyrillic name and didn't come across anything more substantial. If actual coverage can be found this page can easily be recreated, but at this moment it totally fails SPORTCRIT. JoelleJay (talk) 02:37, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relist I think this one warrants more investigation. Significant coverage in the Hungarian Sports newspaper Nemzeti Sport such as [4] and [5]. Also some here on Blikk website.[6] A google search for his name and nemzeti sport shows multiple strong hits so may well be notable in Hungary. Canary757 (talk) 07:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not enough WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources. See below. starship.paint (talk / cont) 08:02, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Google Books link above produces false positives only. Google News link above produces single sentence mentions, or people claiming to have been part of the orchestra. Searched The Wikipedia Library, no results for WSSSO, one result for the full name, which is a single sentence mention in this article. Google Scholar produces three results, of which both the second result (download link) and the third result both only mention the orchestra twice while referencing the research done by the first result. The first result is the only SIGCOV I could find. The researchers administered an online survey to 41 WSSSO youth in 2009 containing many Likert-style questions about their experience, and three open-ended questions: "why did you decide to take part ... why do you continue to take part ... what would stop you taking part? The article is entitled "Advanced youth music ensembles: Experiences of, and reasons for, participation", so it seems to discuss the experiences of being in an ensemble, rather than being a comprehensive history of WSSSO. starship.paint (talk / cont) 14:51, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Update - found 32 results on Newspapers.com. First result is SIGCOV, founding of the orchestra. But the rest of the results are more sketchy and WP:ROUTINE - advertisements, concert announcements and single sentence mentions (Person X is joining the orchestra / the orchestra is performing at location Y). I do not think this is enough. starship.paint (talk / cont) 08:02, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment (I already !voted keep above) I think this hinges on if The New Times is a reliable source. I honestly don't know. Here's what I can ascertain:
  1. It's the first listed newspapers on BBC for Rwanda newspapers https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-14093244
  2. The Wikipedia article and the BBC note it's proximity to government
  3. Of course, plenty reliable sources are proximate to government, BBC, CBC, Al Jazeera, although I would suggest The New Times is not a reliable source for Rwandan politics.
  4. The Wikipedia WP:RSPSS noticeboard is silent on The New Times. A search of the archive reveals nothing.
So my question is: does anyone have any evidence, any reason to assume it's a bad source? Vikingsam (talk) 11:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New times as a reliable source
Rwandan in Rwanda here, new times is the only relevant news source that cares about the entertainment industry, it MIGHT be promo but that doesn't make it any less valid imo. Foundalive (talk) 23:41, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I do not know how the media system in Rwanda works but I think that the onus probandi lies on us to prove that The New Times is an unreliable source. Away from that, I was able to find sources from other outlets but the problem is, they’re not in English and I do not have the fortune of understanding the language.

It's got independent reporting, robust editorial standards, and is one of the best English-language news sources in East Africa; Wikipedia would be a lot poorer if we decided not to rely on it. (If editors are concerned about it, I recommend starting an RfC at WP:RSN.) However, the only WP:SIGCOV sources in this article are from the New Times, which constitute a single source for purposes of WP:GNG. The other sources in the article are insufficiently significant. Dclemens1971 (talk) 20:48, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Despite most of its sources are in Kinyarwanda, and editors started seeing the page as a single source for purposes of WP:GNG because of the New Times, by search, the subject has featured at least in 4 out of 5 in the first listed online newspapers on BBC for Rwanda newspapers.

I came across Ayres' History and Future of Technology and realized it copies substantial material from Wikipedia. This is explicitly acknowledged in the preface of the book, but there are still Wikipedia pages that cite it (without explicit qualification), in a case of citogenesis. Further, there are numerous passages from the book that are copied so closely to verbatim from Wikipedia, that they may be confused for copyviolations in the future. I'm taking on marking that reference as such to avoid this.

Pratt & Whitney GG4 is a particularly extreme case - all other references were copyviolations and were stripped from the article, leaving only the circular reference to Ayres, who explicitly back links to the Wikipedia page as his only source. Is there a different source demonstrating notability? Tule-hog (talk) 16:09, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested draftification of a mildly promotional bio. Sources do not support the subject's notability under WP:GNG/WP:NBIO. They are the subject's own writing ([12], [13], [14], [15], [16]) and official bios and thus WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs ([17], [18]) -- there is no WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable, independent sources. She does not seem to be widely cited or meet any other criteria of WP:NACADEMIC, and she does not meet WP:NAUTHOR as far as I can tell (I see one independent review for one of her co-authored works, and we'd need more).

  • Keep The article on Susan Bryant clearly meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline GNG as well as subject-specific notability criteria for academics and professionals. The subject’s extensive contributions in military studies, strategic education, and public service are well-documented through independent, reliable secondary sources, making her a notable figure deserving of coverage.
    Notability through Independent Sources: Multiple reliable and independent sources substantiate Susan Bryant’s career achievements and scholarly contributions. These include her published work and her leadership in military education, as evidenced by sources like INSS Publications, AUSA.org, and Cambria Press. Such coverage demonstrates that her influence extends beyond routine professional activities and meets the GNG standard of “significant coverage in reliable sources.”
    Academic and Professional Impact: Bryant’s academic role at Georgetown University, as noted in GU Faculty360, and her leadership in strategic education highlight her significant contributions to public knowledge. Her scholarship is frequently cited, including critical analyses on military leadership and societal implications of military service, further proving her impact within the field.
    Policy-Driven Achievements: Bryant’s work on publications such as Deconstructing the Warrior Caste and From Citizen Soldier to Secular Saint reflects notable contributions to the scholarly and policy discourse on military and strategic studies. Such high-level intellectual engagement satisfies Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for academics, as her work is highly regarded and has been reviewed by other experts in the field.
    Reliable and Verifiable Content: The references provided in the article and the additional sources (e.g., Strategic Education International and TNSR Roundtable) confirm Bryant’s leadership roles and academic scholarship. This reinforces the article’s compliance with Wikipedia’s verifiability and reliable sourcing policies. 102.91.105.83 (talk) 11:23, 30 December 2024 (UTC) — 102.91.105.83 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Non-notable individual, fails WP:GNG/WP:NBIO (no significant coverage in multiple secondary, independent, reliable sources afaics).
As for WP:NPROF, I think the only criterion that could potentially apply is criterion 6 (The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.), which (according to the notes for this criterion) may apply if the person has held the post of president or chancellor (or vice-chancellor in countries where this is the top academic post) of a significant accredited college or university, but [l]esser administrative posts (provost, dean, department chair, etc.) are generally not sufficient to qualify under Criterion 6 alone (the same goes for an appointment as an acting president/chancellor/vice-chancellor). As stated in the article, the subject does seem to be the vice president of (and dean at) the International School of Management (ISM) Lagos (no Wikipedia article; official website), an accredited private business school. However, given that a brochure by and for the school ([19]) lists a president, I'm concluding that vice president is indeed not the top post, which is why I don't believe this criterion is satified, and thus I would argue that the subject fails WP:NPROF as well.

Appin closed in 2013. The article is facing a string of changes where there may be a WP:SOCK (see latest changes). Delete according to WP:ATTACK which summarizes that the article has a denigrating purpose, rather than an informational one. WP:NPOV and WP:LBL, because the article is only about calmony even if it is quoted by notable media sources. Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 15:17, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This also appears to breach WP: Illegal Conduct which states that “It is possible that an organization that is not itself generally notable will have a number of significant sources discussing its (alleged) illegal conduct. Sources that primarily discuss purely such conduct cannot be used to establish an organization's notability under this guideline”. The company would have zero notability if the sources arising from the alleged hacking operation are taken out. I will change my vote if sources that demonstrate that the company meets WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC without the use of the sources from the single event of the court case. Runmastery (talk) 05:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:ONEEVENT applies to people, not organizations. Regarding WP:ILLCON, you are omitting the last part of that paragraph which says However, the organization may still be notable, in whole or in part due to such sources, under different guidelines, e.g., WP:CRIME. Taking a look at WP:CRIME, we find that the perpetrators of a crime are eligible for a Wikipedia article if The victim of the crime is a renowned national or international figure, including, but not limited to, politicians or celebrities. This clearly applies in this case. According to this Reuters article, the targets of Appin included internationally prominent entities such as Boris Berezovsky, Mohamed Azmin Ali, Leonel Fernández, and the Pakistani and Chinese militaries.

  • Keep This appears to be a bad-faith nomination based on policy abuse. This is the second time this page has been nominated for deletion by someone with a handful of edits. This page has been the target of malicious edits, including the intentional removal of vital information in the guise of policy enforcement, sometimes by blocked sockpuppets (see the talk page for details). Recently, an Indian court ruled in favor of Reuters, reinstating the article [23] that Appin tried to bury by misrepresenting the facts. The court explicitly stated that Appin has no right to interfere with the journalistic process [24]. There seems to be a pattern here, with many articles exposing how Rajat Khare and Appin use heavy-handed tactics against publishers to suppress the truth—a few of which are cited on this article's page. The EFF has documented a campaign of intimidation and censorship by Rajat Khare and Appin, aimed at erasing stories about their mercenary hacking operations [25]. Furthermore, a recent investigation by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) reveals a coordinated global effort by Rajat Khare and Appin to bully media outlets into removing their stories. [26], as well as coverage on their YouTube channel [27].

    You have nothing to say about what I wrote? You have nothing to say about the dozens and dozens of news organizations that called out Rajat Khare and Appin's antics? I realize that they generously provide employment opportunities to aspiring Wikipedia editors who misrepresent facts that are easy to verify, but the problem is they usually get caught in their own web of lies—the person who nominated this article for deletion the first time User:Metroick was blocked for sock puppetry.

  • Comment This message is exclusively for the editor who will close this nomination! The controversy of this article doesn't end there, because as far as I've checked, a number of editors have an obvious interest in the article because of this and I've notified that there is a risk for a WP:SOCK. This edit with comment we are so back, baby, is made by a UK editor, and another editor interested in UK politics (who has a few edits and has never participated in the deletion discussion). Another editor who miraculously after a while got activated and participated in the deletion discussion. Including this editor who is only interested in this article and his changes have all been canceled. I want to believe it's a coincidence, but I'm not sure in this. More recently the discussion has been labeled not a ballot, which certainly has place in this discussion (since it is trying in any way to keep the article and mass voting), without seeing the real problem of the article. Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 16:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess the question the editor should be asking is why you, with a 2.5-month-old account and about 100 edits, are so desperate to delete this page—after the Reuters article came back up—that you would cast doubt on those participating in good faith, specially given the extensive history of Rajat Khare and Appin in burying the truth, as well as the fact that this deletion request is basically a bad-faith nomination rooted in policy abuse. Since you keep on mentioning sockpuppets, the editor should also consider the fact that the person who first nominated this article for deletion User:Metroick was blocked for sock puppetry, as well as the sockpuppets who have been attempting to remove vital information from the article for the past year. HARRISONSST (talk) 17:43, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I find it very telling that you are focused on denigrating the contributions of other editors by calling people sockpuppets sans evidence, but you have made no effort whatsoever to address the Wikipedia policy issues that editors have raised in response to your AfD request. Please address the policy issues in question, rather than indulging in ad hominem comments in an attempt to discount input with which you disagree. Espatie (talk) 23:23, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - if the article seems to be too denigrating in its tone, then it is only a matter of its proper edition. Neither this issue nor the existence of the described company is a factor of the informative character, as long as it describes fact and also - as some people above noted - the controversy, in which Appin had been involved, has not ended. --Wojsław Brożyna (talk) 18:02, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as there are plenty of reliable sources that establish notability. I’m actually baffled as to shy someone would nominate this. The article reads as pretty neutral and well-written to me, though it would benefit from expanding it to add detail of what they actually did, rather than just their litigious activities (are there possibly additional non-English language sources that would assist?). Either way, we do not delete articles with NPOV issues; we fix them. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 20:09, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources you call notable only describe their litigious activities. Then I wonder how they vote so actively en masse (copy-paste) without anyone verifying the information. As you say other information needs to be added about the company (which generally doesn't exist), and all the sources and information are about their litigious activities! Dmitry Bobriakov (talk) 20:40, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Does your interpretation of WP:ILLCON also cover civil litigation brought by the company? Oblivy (talk) 02:30, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of sources. As for "The article is facing a string of changes" perhaps the article should be protected (I take no position on that) but in any case there are other ways to handle that than deletion. Kingdon (talk) 22:07, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not on the basis of nomination reason because articles are not deleted for WP:NPOV, they are edited and cleaned. And for the proposal that this article constitute libel and should be deleted, that reasoning does not apply because if anyone should sue for libel it should be the news organisations that published the story not Wikipedia that cited those sources. Before search showed that this was an obscure company pre Reuters publication and had nothing that could be used to prove its existence. It is the subsequent litigation which followed that brought it to public attention. I support the argument by Runmastery that if WP:ILLCON is applied to this article, it would not stand. Most of the sources are to the Reuters reporting and the continuing ligation. The alleged victims of the hacking are notable as listed in the Reuters reporting, but the report did not give details of how they were hacked, it is only passing mentions. None of the alleged victims made public complaints of being hacked or filed any lawsuit against the company and no other news organisations reported the hacking other than Reuters. WP:ILLCON is applicable here because the alleged victims were not widely reported by other news organisations. And I see that none of the victim is listed or discussed in this article. There is no wide coverage of the hacking and its victims in multiple sources other than Reuters reporting. There are tons of civil cases out there and this is one of such. Nothing special in this. Seminita (talk) 11:50, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Your argument is based on misinformation.
    --
    1. User: Runmastery's argument misrepresents WP:ILLCON, as the comments have pointed out [28]. Specifically, it omits the part that states: However, the organization may still be notable, in whole or in part due to such sources, under different guidelines, e.g., WP:CRIME.
    --
    2. Regarding your notability claim that there is no wide coverage beyond the Reuters [29] report, A LOT OF reputable sources have documented Rajat Khare and Appin's mercenary hacking operations: The New Yorker [30], Wired [31], Reporters Without Borders (RSF) [32], RSF's YouTube channel [33], EFF [34], Dark Reading Archived [35], Freedom of the Press [36], Columbia Journalism Review [37], The Wire Archived [38], The Daily Beast [39], The Times [40], Lawfare [41], and many, many more.
    --
    3. Not that it makes the slightest different to whether the Appin page should stay or not, there are articles that provide details of how Rajat Khare and Appin's mercenary hacking operations operated. Here is one from Security Week that I found with a casual Internet search [42]. SentinelOne also published an article [43].

    4. Your statement that none of Rajat Khare and Appin's victims made complaints of being hacked, and that none are listed or discussed in the article, is both false and irrelevant to this discussion. I don't think you've even read the Reuter's article and you are just throwing a bunch of random issues at the page, hoping something sticks. The Reuters article [45] explicitly mentions a father-and-son duo—Peter and Stevie Hargitay—who detected a cyber intrusion and filed a criminal complaint with Swiss authorities. Their hired expert traced the hack to a server near Zurich, with billing records identifying Rajat Khare as the client. They claimed that their personal and business data had been compromised as part of a targeted hacking campaign. Other articles also document Rajat Khare and Appin's victims, but I've wasted enough time on this reply. HARRISONSST (talk) 14:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment 2 This message is exclusively for the editor who will close this nomination! Once I check which editors are participating in the discussion (which is voted on en masse, possibly being guest editors in an organized way). The following accounts [47], [48], [49] all mentioned accounts about bluesky and mastodon (which again I don't think is a coincidence). The identical after a long period of time being inactive (now with all of you suddenly back to participate in discussions). Another editor who has no connection with the topic and has not participated in any discussion in general (being inactive for a while and now suddenly active). I do not judge and offend anyone because everyone is free to edit and contribute in their own way. But neither those who participate in this discussion have the right to fool an entire community. Because it is obvious that someone as organized as possible is contributing to this discussion. I hope that in the near time other editors with special rights will join to monitor this case!

    These comments are not helpful, please stop. User:Cloventt has ~100 edits in December 2024 alone. An editor having a Bluesky or Mastadon link on their user page is not relevant to a deletion discussion. If you have evidence of sock puppeting or canvasing take it to WP:SPI or WP:ANI and keep the deletion discussion about the merits of the article. Brandon (talk) 16:59, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Major coverage that clearly demonstrates the company meets GNG. Thriley (talk) 15:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article appears to be well covered by sources (which I haven't checked myself, but it's not the suitability of the sources that's at issue here, if that is a problem it can be always brought up separately), and documents something that has been reported on, so far looking like events that happened. There is no such thing as "it's out of business, so let's delete it", otherwise AfDs on e.g. Enron and Watergate would have been fair game, not to mention extinct species. (One could argue part of the purpose of an Encyclopedia without hard small content limits would be to include that knowledge?)
    Lastly, and focusing on this discussion request as presented, I'm wondering if the purpose of the mentioned policy is even to include/allow this sort of article, WP:ATTACK seems to be written in a more ambiguous tone regarding non-person subjects, but G10 seems to be focused on people, besides libel (which I think this can't be if it's fully sourced?) or legal threats (which does suggest the intent of that section is completely different from this, it suggests it's more about spam pages that only have insults or threats against a person, and not articles that document events, with sources?). njsg (talk) 20:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's where that language got inserted. Both G10 (at the time and now) and the rest of the page IMHO seem person-oriented. Some of what they did is legitimate according to the article, and some of what they have done is either public record or has been reported on in secondary sources. I agree with you this isn't an attack page at all. Perhaps efforts would be better spent finding positive secondary coverage of the company to balance out the negative impressions.

  • Keep. No substantive case for community action that is (even at first glance) valid under the deletion policy. The question of ILLCON is interesting, but the supporting arguments have no basis. For example, sources are misidentified as tertiary, apparently based on an erroneous WP:LINKSINACHAIN analysis (As an aside, for article content, might note that investigative reports and breaking news are primary sources as defined by policy). A later claim that victims were not widely reported by other news organisations is, as a matter of policy, irrelevant, as there is no basis to require such in PAG, nor any requirement for coverage about how hacking occurred. The claim of certainly [...] no further media coverage falls under WP:CRYSTAL/WP:NTEMP. I could go on, but the delete rationales seem completely defective given the sheer number of significant errors, and brings to mind the survival of certain forms of precipitation in infernal conditions. Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:32, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not particularly against keeping this, but the WP:ILLCON and the tertiary sources issues raised above are valid. The nom’s WP:ATTACK is incorrect, but WP:INHERITORG comes to my mind. Some of the sources referenced as establishing notability of the company are purely focused on civil case proceedings and giving passing mentions to the hacking which is the focal subject of the article. There is not sufficient significant coverage of the company itself imo. Hmr (talk) 07:46, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    The Appin page itself starts by explaining how the hacking was done. A 2013 report by Shadowserver Foundation [50].

Contains little to no reliable sourcing and was created as part of a Wiki Education assignment. Ornov Ganguly TALK 12:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The “that girl” trend transitioned into the “vanilla girl aesthetic” with warmer scents and colors. Some still refer to the clean aesthetic as a “that girl” aesthetic but “that girl” aesthetic branched into “vanilla girl aesthetic”, “baddie aesthetic”, the “night luxe aesthetic”, etc.
Which would seem to imply the trend has largely evaporated into subsequent trends. However they later state:
Recently, this trend has gotten a lot of heat for being a part of the larger trend of toxic productivity and “hustle culture”
Which would seem to imply that people are still talking about it. The section links to the Aesthetics wiki (no way to know how recent) and 2 year old Topix (website) article which criticizes it while also stating that it seems here to stay.
One TikTok trend that seems to be here to stay? “That Girl.” While on the surface it’s all about being your best self mentally, physically, and professionally, therapists say this idea is actually toxic—here’s why.
A UVU Review article this year compares it to the It girl trend.
Gotham (magazine) did an interview with TikToker Kaeli Mae where she stated:
Definitely the clean girl aesthetic. Even back when I started four years ago, it was referred to as like “That Girl” and they still refer to it as that, but I feel like the trend of “That Girl” or “Clean Girl” is always there. I think it will always be there. It just maybe has different names at some points, but it all revolves around the same aesthetic.
InStyle had an article this year about "clean girl" aesthetic which supports an unclear relationship to "that girl".
Maximal in regards to their career goals ("That Girl"), the clean girl is minimalist when it comes to beauty and fashion
Elle (India) has an article from this year that also ambiguously equivocates "clean girl" with "that girl".
The reason I support keeping the article is because it is part of a significant and enduring women's self-improvement and aesthetics trend that is ambiguously defined leaving no clear merge target. Photos of Japan (talk) 01:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary in nature since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have significant, in-depth, nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

Another case of a songwriter with prolific credits with notable musicians, but who has received little to no coverage of their own. In this case, there is that Visionary Artist Magazine (source I've never heard of and cannot speak to its reliability) piece, though I can only see the first paragraph of it for some reason. But that alone is not a sufficient amount of coverage, and the rest is just Johnson's name being brought up in the context of credits on other artists' songs without any in-depth discussion of Johnson's contributions.

  • Keep per WP:MUSICBIO ("Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart."). He's written four songs that charted, one of which was a Top Ten Billboard song and was nominated for a Grammy. Bearian (talk) 04:00, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not believe that section applies to songwriters – note that the list, starting at "this category includes", does not mention songwriters or producers, only performance roles – and you should be looking at COMPOSER instead. In that case, I believe only #1 applies, and only meeting one criteria while still not meeting GNG does not convince me. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 07:28, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @QuietHere I believe #4 would apply as well, no? Clearly he won the ASCAP Award for a song he co-wrote, composed, and co-produced ("Bounce Back") -- a Top 10 Hit charting in numerous markets -- being one of the 20 most played (radio, video, sync placements, streaming) and performed (touring) songs for the year with key contributors from the specific songwriting association. All ASCAP writers battle yearly to be recognized by their songwriting/publishing body via securing lucrative song placements, and very few receive recognition. It was also Grammy nominated, albeit in a category that celebrates songwriters with a Grammy certificate if nominated / Grammy winner's certificate if successful. Trainsskyscrapers (talk) 16:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I did forget about the ASCAP Award, that is a fair point. I'm not sure about the Grammy because, like you said, it's usually only the artists who receive recognition for it. I'm still concerned with letting a GNG miss go, and I think the ASCAP win can (and should, regardless of this discussion's outcome) be mentioned in the song's article.

Mildly promotional biography of a music marketer who fails WP:NBIO, WP:GNG; moved to mainspace after being declined at AFC. She seems to have received some coverage for a past connection to Britney Spears, but her notability cannot be WP:INHERITED from Spears. The coverage of this connection is also tabloid coverage (Mirror, Daily Soap Dish, People), which is disallowed for establishing notability per WP:SBST. The remaining sources are limited to:

As for her 30 Under 30 listings ([101], [102]), there is no consensus that these are the kinds of awards that would make someone independently notable under WP:ANYBIO. (The Forbes 30 under 30 is "awarded" to 1,230 people each year across geographies and industries so is not a rare honor.) I didn't find any other qualifying coverage in my WP:BEFORE search. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:53, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I believe Cassie Petrey's Wikipedia page meets the notability criteria for individuals in the field of business and entertainment. Her contributions to the industry have been covered in notable publications such as Forbes, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, showcasing her influence and accomplishments.
Key points supporting her notability include:
  • Leadership in innovative digital marketing campaigns for globally known artists, including Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys.
  • Recognition in authoritative industry outlets and her inclusion in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
  • Active contributions to discussions about artist-fan engagement in the digital age through interviews and articles.
The page provides verifiable sources documenting her work and impact, aligning with Wikipedia's content policies. Deleting this page would remove a valuable figure in the modern entertainment and marketing industries. 24eeWikiUser (talk) 12:09, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

He got the attention in news media when he was allegedly shot by notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gang and he was also a president of state level organisation i.e., Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena. But we do not create pages for presidents of caste based state organisations like Rajasthan Jat Mahasabha or Rajput Karni Sena of Rajasthan.

  • Here is my problem with these stand-alone articles. All four disciplines are often not contested. There are often not enough competitors to award a bronze medal, and in some cases, even a silver medal. Many of these competitions featured no more than two or three participants. And most of the competitors who are listed are redlinked or unlinked (ie. themselves not notable). The competition results and scores are included (or should be included) on a skaters' individual article. The medal results are included on the parent article (in this case, New Zealand Figure Skating Championships). But these nations with small national championships are just not worth trying to maintain individual articles for each competition. Bgsu98 (Talk) 12:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

The article on Harshada Pathare fails to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for authors and filmmakers. The references cited are primarily from non-independent or low-quality sources, such as News24, Yahoo Finance, and promotional platforms like the Tagore International Film Festival’s own website. These sources lack the depth and reliability required to establish significant coverage or independent notability. Additionally, the article has a promotional tone, which violates Unambiguous Advertising or Promotion. The subject's notable achievements, including awards and books, are not adequately supported by independent, verifiable sources.

There is also a possible Conflict of Interest, as this subject has a significant creation and deletion history dating back to 2018, with five drafts and one main space article being deleted under G11. It is unlikely that this repeated effort to create the article is coincidental, especially considering the subject's limited notability as evidenced by their sparse Google presence. This raises questions about why multiple attempts have been made to establish this page, despite a lack of substantial independent coverage.

Upon further investigation, the creator of this page appears to have a pattern of creating articles with extensive personal data, often citing only one or two references. This raises concerns about verifiability and how the creator is obtaining such detailed information when it is not publicly available. These issues, combined with the lack of reliable, independent sources and a promotional tone, warrant deletion of this article for failing to meet Wikipedia’s standards for notability, neutrality, and verifiability.

First, some context: this article forms part of a WP:Walled garden created by User:ATuschinski about his family members. The article on the founder of the journal that forms the subject of this nomination just got torched. Second, the case for deletion is straightforward: lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Almost every citation is to the journal itself. The one significant exception, the article by Mircea Duțu, devotes approximately half a line to this publication: see here, top of page 220. There is nothing to establish encyclopedic notability here. Biruitorul Talk 10:31, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I took a look at this article yesterday in light of the other Tuschinski family-history articles and I almost nominated it for deletion myself. It's clear that this is what is what some call a "walled-garden" of articles and that it is an effort to promote the Tuschinski family, as well as their works; WP:COI and WP:NPOV apply to this orchestration of family-history articles. No disrespect is intended towards the family itself, however Wikipedia is not the right venue for this. The creator of these article should please consider setting up a personal website for this, or using social media or venues like Ancestry.com instead. As stated in the nomination, the article is essentially self-sourced to the journal that was founded and was edited by a Tuschinski); the article was created by a family member who also wrote a self-published book on the founder. Lots of connections here. The journal does not meet WP:GNG nor WP:NJOURNAL either; journals do not have inherent notability, nor do they inherit notability from those who write for them, nor those who are written about in the journal, nor those who publish them. A BEFORE search does not find independent significant coverage in reliable sources about the journal itself. Netherzone (talk) 17:09, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes: "Before you start believing that the world spins in a hopeless whirl, think of Amanpulo. It is surely one adventure on your ‘101 Things to Do Before You Whine.' Experiencing this marvel of an island on the Sulu Sea, in the island group of Cuyo in Palawan, leaves one in a state of curious wonder, with nary a care for worrisome political and economic issues and petty personal upheavals. ... Consistent with all the Aman resorts worldwide, Amanpulo in Palawan embraces the cultural and natural landscapes it is set in. In the interiors, one notes the materials of clay, wood and bamboo. On the beach, the barbecue lighting uses baskets. The staff's uniform speaks of adapting to the culture, too. The marine sanctuary is pristine and free from garbage. The quality of the sand is consistent throughout the island of Pamalican, Amanpulo's home. Environment ranks high in Amanpulo's priorities. The vermi culture project, which recycles organic material into fertilizer, aims to give more jobs to residents of neighboring islands who produce fresh organic vegetables for guests. There's also the partnership with the Soriano Foundation in outreach programs on nearby Manamoc Island, where most of Amanpulo's workforce lives."

      The article notes: "I was dreaming and I didn't want to wake up! I was in Amanpulo - that super expensive high-end resort somewhere in Palawan that has hosted Hollywood stars, super models and the likes of the late John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Daryl Hannah, Robert de Niro and, if rumors were to be believed, Michael Jackson. It's a place I've only heard of when talking about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, which definitely is way out of my league, and actually stepping into the island seemed surreal. ... We made a brief stop in the clubhouse restaurant and bar, perhaps the heart of the resort. The clubhouse had an Oriental motif adorned by coconut shell tables, rattan chairs from Cebu and oriental wooden ornaments. It also houses the resort boutique and library, where guests can borrow books, magazines and even digital video discs. ... Amanpulo, consistent with its image as a private, secluded resort, only has 40 casitas in hillside and beach-side settings. Each casita can accommodate a maximum of three adults and two children below 12 years old. ... Most of the resort's guests are Europeans, Japanese and Hong Kong expatriates."

      The article notes: "Their sea "christening" is at Amanpulo (peaceful island), 300km south of the Philippines' capital, Manila, where guests -- no question you need to be wealthy to stay here -- have time for caring and sharing. ... The island is car-free, but each casita (bungalow) has a gas-powered golf cart for guests to move around the island. And while it is possible to circle the island by cart, most guests opt to explore via the beach, barefoot in the sand. ... Amanpulo, recently named the world's top luxury resort by a British travel guide, is one of the prized jewels in the Aman crown. ... Once a family-run coconut plantation, Pamalican Island was reborn as Amanpulo resort in 1994. The 40 casitas, in hillside and beachside settings, are modelled loosely on the Philippine bahay kubo (village home). Inside the casitas every attention is given to detail, from pebble-washed walls to coconut shell tables, rustic palm baskets, king-size beds and roomy marble bathrooms. Outdoor decks have cushioned sun lounges and hammocks swing from palm trees. ... And because of its remoteness, Amanpulo generates its own power, treats its own sewage, recycles scrap metal, creates compost for reforestation, has a desalination plant and an airfield."

      The article notes: "If this is the first time you've heard of Amanpulo (which I highly doubt), let me tell you that this world-class resort nestled in the secluded and private Pamalican Island, Palawan, is one of the tropical havens favored by Hollywood royalty.But don't expect to be bumping into them, though, as the very reason for their visiting the resort is Amanpulo's über-discreet policy toward its guests. Even at full occupancy, you will hardly bump into anyone. ... What I truly enjoyed about Amanpulo's dining experience is that you will often bump into the island's F&B director Harish Nair, who never fails to greet each diner to ask about the food. And for dinner, there's Lagoon Club located on the other side of the island, which serves Vietnamese food, and again Beach Club, which serves Spanish food. I highly recommend the paella and the fideua. If you want, you can also ask the island's restaurant to prepare you a beachside dinner complete with bonfire! ... You can also explore the island, which is what we decided to do the next day, after another snorkeling trip. A brief but leisurely 10-minute walk on the beach from my casita led me to the island's tip, where a sandbar stretched out into the crystal-clear waters. This sandbar would have been the most ideal place to get a nice tan and a refreshing swim during the earlier hours of the day."

      The article notes: "This is Amanpulo, an exclusive resort on Pamalican Island in the southwest of The Philippines, part of the Cuyo group. Opened by Singapore-based Amanresorts group in 1993, everything here is about the water; the nearest snorkelling spot is so close that it's simply dubbed House Reef, there are picnic sites from which you can don snorkel gear and stride off into gardens of clams. At the southern tip there's a channel of water known as Shark's Playground but, as guests are calmly reassured, these are happy little reef sharks. Still, you might prefer to observe their sinister shapes from one of Amanpulo's boats, zooming over schools of batfish in protected waters. Complimentary aquatic activities include sailing, kayaking and windsurfing; on the easy-catch menu are snapper, grouper, wahoo, mackerel, sweetlip, bonito and (for near-instant sashimi) tuna. ... Everyone's talking about The go-ahead philosophy of Amanresorts. After a lull early last decade, the group is steaming ahead with openings, particularly in China and India. Amanpulo is not the most glamorous of the range but it's arguably one of the friendliest and most fun. The Filipino staff bring an air of fiesta to proceedings. But it all runs like clockwork, too - leave your golf buggy casually parked and when you return it will be precisely positioned, with replenished bottled water."

      The article notes: "Welcome to Amanpulo, an exclusive resort that occupies the entire island. Once a family-run coconut plantation, the site was transformed into its present form in December 1993 by Amanresort, which operates similar resorts around the world. An assistant offers a cold towel so you can freshen up, and after a brief tour of the island in an open-sided golf cart you are shown to your "casita," or small house. The buggy is your means of transportation throughout your stay at the resort. You're given a turtle-shaped key holder that comes with a key to your house and another for the buggy, as well as a map of the island. There are 40 individual guest houses dotted throughout the island: 29 on the beach, seven on the hillside and four in treetops. Treetop and hillside accommodations give you a spectacular view of the island and the surrounding Sulu Sea, especially the two deluxe hillside cabins. ... Amanpulo also has more than a handful of great scuba diving spots for both novice and experienced divers. Equipment and lessons from skilled instructors are offered at the Dive Shop. Children ages 8 and up can also learn scuba diving in the pool. You can also walk around the island's perimeter, which takes about 90 minutes."

      The article notes: "Home to Amanpulo, the Aman Resorts' lone foray in the Philippines, Pamalican Island is a private island 300km south-west of Manila. The location, in the Sulu Sea, was once an important stop on the spice trade route between China and Borneo, but later doomed to centuries of obscurity. Today, it is one of the most secluded luxury locations in Asia, and provides an otherworldly privacy worth flying halfway across the world for. The only way to get there is the Amanpulo's own turboprop. A hangar at Manila airport hides the Amanpulo's dedicated lounge, and the journey-and the attentive, invisible service one expects of a hotel of this calibre-begins there. Riding in the 19-seat plane across the seas to the Amanpulo's private airstrip, you get the sense upon landing on Pamalican Island that there will be nothing but sun, sea and pina coladas for as long as you're there. Instead of beach huts, your nights are spent in large casitas, modelled after local village homes, either right on the beach or perched among the trees on the hills. Each casitas comes with its own chef and maid to look after your culinary and other daily needs, and with a buggy so that you can explore the island."

      The article notes: "Operated by luxury group Aman Resorts, Amanpulo is on Pamalican Island, a relative speck in the Cuyo Archipelago of the Philippines. The island was discovered by accident twice – initially by the seafaring villagers of the neighbouring Manamoc Island, who used it in the 18th century as a market garden to grow coconuts and corn, returning year after year to tend their crops and collect turtle eggs. They named it Pamalican, meaning to return, or go back. In 1967, one of the Philippines’ wealthiest families, the Sorianos of San Miguel Brewery fame, discovered it while cruising aboard the motor yacht Seven Seas. ... The family partnered with Aman Resorts and the first villas opened to guests in 1993."

    9. Nicholson, Sarah (2011-04-02). "In the Lap of Luxury". The Advertiser. ProQuest 859717468.

      The article notes: "I am staying at the Amanpulo resort on Pamalican, one of the 1768 islands in the undeveloped Palawan Provence, 350km south of Manila. ... Amanpulo, the boutique resort that occupies all of Pamalican Island, is a 60-minute charter flight from Manila, and a haven of tranquillity and barefoot luxury in the waters of the Sulu Sea. Unlike other upmarket resorts, where staff wear stuffy uniforms and are schooled to be invisible, Amanpulo is all casual elegance. The property has some captivating rough edges that make me feel like I have settled in and become part of island life rather than just another guest staying in a posh suite for a few days. ... Pamalican was home to a working coconut plantation as recently as the early 1990s, and 85 per cent of the staff come from the neighbouring island of Manamoc, rather than fancy hospitality schools in Manila."

      The article notes: "Amanpulo guests stay in spacious casitas, complete with a luxurious bath and dressing area. Nestled among tropical foliage, the casitas are patterned after the bahay kubo dwelling and were designed by architect Bobby Manosa. Each casita maintains a modern flair and is remarkably well-kept. Guests are also given a private buggy to explore the island. ... Now that my soon-to-be-wed friend Kris Aquino is a converted beach lover, I will suggest that she honeymoon with her beau James Yap in Amanpulo. The fact is that it is one of the best resorts in the world. While swimming in their pool, Dennis met a Scottish guy who said it was the most beautiful pool he had ever been in, bar none. Thinking that the Scot must have just arrived in Asia, Dennis asked him how he could make such a hyperbolic statement."

      The article notes: "This is where the use of superlatives to describe Amanpulo’s biggest asset seems unavoidable: if you’re a sun-worshipper or simply love floating in a crystal clear, shallow sea above schools of colourful fish all by yourself, this is unparalleled heaven. Guests at Amanpulo can choose from two types of accommodation. First there are the 42 private, stand-alone rooms like mine called ‘casitas’, which are either cleverly tucked behind the coconut palms along the beach or nestled into the island’s lush interior."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Amanpulo to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 09:12, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These very excerpts don't treat the topics as distinct. "Once a family-run coconut plantation, Pamalican Island was reborn as Amanpulo resort in 1994", "Welcome to Amanpulo, an exclusive resort that occupies the entire island. Once a family-run coconut plantation, the site was transformed into its present form in December 1993", "after a brief tour of the island in an open-sided golf cart you are shown to your "casita," or small house", "you get the sense upon landing on Pamalican Island that there will be nothing but sun, sea and pina coladas", "Guests are also given a private buggy to explore the island". The Noone, Richard excerpt is entirely about Pamalican Island, it's not even about the time period of the resort! CMD (talk) 09:22, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I provided more analysis here that there is enough coverage to have one article about the resort (1993–present) and one article about the island (when it was used as a spice trade route centuries ago, to the 18th century, to the present). There is so much coverage of Amanpulo that if both the resort (Amanpulo) and island (Pamalican) were merged to a single article, Amanpulo could be the right place to have all this information. Cunard (talk) 12:25, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I find it doubtful the resort on the island would take WP:NOPAGE title preference over the island itself, especially as the island maintains its current name. CMD (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title and WP:COMMONNAME. It is possible that if there is a single article, the common name would be Amanpulo. Many sources focus on Amanpulo the resort rather than than Pamalican the island. It would require a survey of the literature to determine the right title. Cunard (talk) 14:18, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is a misinterpretation of commonname. Overlapping topics will often have different common names. 14:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC) CMD (talk) 14:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: As the resort covers the entire island, it does seem reasonable, and there seems to be a rough consensus to merge, but I'm not sure I see a consensus as to which title the merged article should be at.

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

AEYE Health does not appear to meet WP:ORG. In going through the sources, they appear to be press releases or otherwise connected with the company, and the very small number of exceptions do not appear to be significant. There is material out there, but nothing that I think passes WP:ORG, as I cannot find material which is clearly both independent and significant. Hopefully someone can do a better job than I did, but at the moment I cannot find enough to get this past the requirements. - Bilby (talk) 11:28, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bilby, I see there are several generic sources like Reuters or Fortune, while others, such as the British Journal of Ophthalmology, Modern Retina, and Ophthalmology Times, appear to be specialized journals in the field. Additionally, we're talking about an entity that is bringing significant changes to the sector thanks to the use of innovations such as Artificial Intelligence, supported by studies. Do you have any specific suggestions on how to enrich the entry? Can I ask the company to send me better materials so I can submit them for your review and that of other editors? Thanks!

Hi! Sorry for taking so long to reply - it is a surprisingly busy time of the year. But, when I went through the references:
  • [103] Mentions AEYE health in passing, but does not cover the company in depth
  • [104] does discuss the company, but reads like a press release or advertorial.
  • [105] is not independent
  • [106] consists of little more than a series of quotes from the CEO
  • [107] is a copy of a press release
  • [108] does cover Aeye health, but has only seven sentences on the subject
  • [109] seems only to state that a company has invested in Aeye.
  • [110] copy of a press release
  • [111] Standard coverage of a company, appears to be based on a press release
  • [112] Summary of a press release
  • [113] Summary of a press release
  • [114] Summary of a press release
  • [115] No mention of Aeye
None of this seems to be sufficiently independent and in-depth. - Bilby (talk) 13:51, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Bilby,
First of all, thank you for your detailed response, and of course, I completely understand that during these festive days it’s challenging to manage everything! While I understand that some sources are merely press releases and thus not usable, I have a few reservations about some of your comments.
Finally, if it might be useful, I’d like to highlight this other source:
https://www.mobihealthnews.com/news/aeye-health-receives-fda-510k-ai-backed-diabetic-retinopathy-screening
https://time.com/collection/time100-ai-2024/
https://time.com/7012722/zack-dvey-aharon/ Dirindalex1988 (talk) 09:10, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To explain:
  • Fortune.com: the coverage of Aeye health consists of passing mentiosn "... and Israeli software company AEYE Health" and "AEYE Health said its eye exam is used by “low hundreds” of U.S. providers". As far as I can tell, that is the extent of the specific coverage in the article.
  • calcalist.co.il: is an interview. It is something, but an interview isn't really independent coverage.
  • bjo.bmj.com: at first it looked great. Then I realised that every author of the study is an employee, board member or the CEO of the company. So I can't see it as independent.
  • globes.co.il: is a standard statement of an investment, which reads exactly like a presss release.
  • Reuters.com: is a clear summary of a press release.
I think that nocamels.com is the best, but mostly it is the CEO talking up his company. That's not a lot to go on. The requirment is for "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." Run-of-the-mill coverage of press releases, papers written by the company, or sources that make only a passing reference do not tend to meet this criteria. - Bilby (talk) 09:29, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, everything is much clearer now. In the meantime, I’d like to point out these two additional sources from Google Books and Scholar:
https://bostoneyeblink.com/category/uncategorized/
https://www.google.it/books/edition/The_Startup_Protocol/PkLyEAAAQBAJ?hl=it&gbpv=1&dq=%22AEYE+Health%22+-wikipedia&pg=PT39&printsec=frontcover

Do you think they could be usable? Dirindalex1988 (talk) 10:30, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sources need to be independent of the subject. Sources written predominently by people working with or for Aeye Health are unlikely to pass that bar. - Bilby (talk) 11:08, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you as always! I’m attaching additional sources I’ve found; they should be independent:
https://time.com/7012722/zack-dvey-aharon/ The CEO is mentioned in the TIME100AI list due to the work of the company, the entire peice is about the company and the technology, not about his personal life.
https://www.ynetnews.com/health_science/article/h11qwtyma
https://www.globes.co.il/news/article.aspx?did=1001490971
https://www.umassmed.edu/arc-pbrn/current-projects/project-4-page-generic/airs-pc/
Regarding bjo.bmj.com, the British Journal of Ophthalmology is a highly reputable peer-reviewed journal, which has accepted the article for publication, including research published by the company that bolsters its credibility and reinforces the validity of its claims.
P.s I know I’m making a lot of requests and don’t want to overwhelm you. Is there a way to seek help from other experienced editors or admins as well? Dirindalex1988 (talk) 17:53, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The BMJ article is written entirely by staff and board members from Aeye health. It may be published in a journal, but it is not independent. UMass has partnered with Aeye Health to produce their report. It is thus not independent. The globes.co.il article is an interview with the CEO. It is therefore not independent. The ynetnews article is simply quotes from press releases by Aeye Health. It is also not independent. The Time article is the only one of note. If someone feels that five paragraphs published about the founder is suffficently in-depth to warrant an article, I will be surprised, but it is a start.
You could try asking in WP:Teahouse for assistance. I would also recommend reading the requirements at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies), which does a good job of explaining the situation. Otherwise, hopefully more people will choose to be involved in this discussion. - Bilby (talk) 01:33, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Time 100 article was sourced from a PRnewsire press release and an interview with the CEO of AEYE. The writer was paid with a $50,000 grant (Tarbell Fellowship) from A.I. organization donors who say they exercise no editorial control, but aim to increase journalistic coverage of companies working in A.I. For me, it's hard to see this article as separate from promotion by AEYE. Even if Time claims writer's independence from the donors, the link to PRnewswire is in the middle of the article. If this was notable, there should be another source of information besides a press release. Just Al (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mallzee shut down in 2021. The article was flagged for neutrality and promotional content in August 2017, it is written mostly like a self-interested ad, and with the lack of any changes to rectify those issues or any edits to indicate the business shut down evidences minimal interest in article. At present, I feel the article doesn't provide encyclopaedic value and given the years of opportunity since the closure of the business without as much as an update indicating such, I doubt the quality of this article will improve. ~ Chip🐺 08:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete I think this is somewhat borderline. The two Canberra Times articles are definitely very solid, and there is some additional coverage that mentions him in passing when he was at FFV [116] as well as a fair bit of coverage in soccer-focused publications - e.g. [117]. He's probably most notable for being the first gay man to be the CEO of a major sports organisation in Australia, and has received a fair bit of coverage in queer media for that (surprised that the article doesn't really mention this!) and for his role at MQFF - e.g. [118], [119] and [120]. There are also some passing mentions of him as a Liberal preselection candidate [121] [122], although I unfortunately wasn't able to find any coverage of his 2006 state election candidacy. I think the strongest sources are the two Canberra Times articles and the Star Observer piece, which I think are almost enough to meet GNG, but there's nothing else that could really be considered SIGCOV of Gratton himself. So I'm leaning delete, although I think one more piece of SIGCOV would probably be enough to change my mind. MCE89 (talk) 18:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - This is a private school in Dubai, so the nom. is correct to apply WP:NORG as the appropriate guideline and sources must meet WP:SIRS. In particular, coverage should be at WP:ORGDEPTH. The article in the national has a photograph from the school but does not even mention it in the article (which is about the rise in the general private school population). All the Which School Advisor articles count as one (multiple articles from a single source) and are also not independent.

This is an invalid reason for deletion per WP:NTEMP; something does not just lose notability because it no longer exists. If the party has received sufficient previous SIGCOV, preferably WP:Three sources that pass SIGCOV, and are reliable and independent of the subject, then it would be notable. I would note that I don't see that in the article as of now; a lot of the article is sourced to what seems to be a Wordpress blog of dubious reliability and independence, and the party's own Web site, which is obviously not usable in determining notability. Similarly, a search for the party's French name returned foreign Maoist parties, though perhaps that's due to the name being a fairly generic term. A search for the party in English was also mostly unsuccessful for similar reasons. Feel free to ping me if additional sources are found, but presently I feel that deletion is most appropriate.

This is largely an essay lackign a sourced defintion of "internet aesthetic" and collection of topics that aren't supported through any source suggesting their connection to this term.

That's just how the world works now, not a substantive cohesive concept: "that usually originates from the Internet or is popularized on it" – very little in the last 20 years wasn't popularized on the internet, so this is a meaningless characteristic unless you are just fluffing up the most recent and niche trends.

    Reiterating my !vote. The two source analysis tables below by @WomenArtistUpdates are very convincing. The term is WP:SYNTH, and the article is WP:OR; the subject does not meet criteria for WP:GNG. At this point it is simply a figure of speech, but not a wiki-notable one per the source analyses. I do not think that what is being argued in the k**p !votes has the exactitude necessary to prove that this concept is a "thing" represented clearly and significantly in reliable sources outside of searching for the two terms being used in the same sentence or paragraph. If one googles "orange" and "avocado" together in a search, that does not mean that "orange avocados" exist, nor that "avocado flavored oranges" exist.

The nomination mentions a lack of sourced definitions, here is a link to some (disregard the first, Wikipedia, and look beyond that, such as this long and detailed screenshot article). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:54, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Clearly significant coverage of this, not in stuffy academic literature yet, but that's not a requirement for notability. I've spot-checked a couple of the listed aesthetics and found multiple people referring to them as 'Internet Aesthetics', or found them on lists of 'Internet Aesthetics' of course if things on this list are not called 'Internet Aesthetics' they shouldn't be there, and can be removed. (If that happens to leave us with the two that I picked at random, a delete might be appropriate!) JeffUK 11:15, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Move - Coverage about the topic exists but the information should be rewritten to fit an encyclopedic tone.

It’s easy to dismiss aesthetics, particularly some of the wackier ones, as superficial and frivolous. But Alexander Cho, a digital-media researcher at UC Santa Barbara, told me that they can be “really important, especially for young adults in terms of creating or fashioning a self.” If you have a hunch about who you are, it’s incredibly easy now to search for images and ideas that help you refine that sense of self.
On the opposite end this Vox article on aesthethics criticizes them as fleeting, hollow and commercial. Prospect magazine did a similar article. I can definitely understand how compared to hippies, goth, punk, etc., these niche aesthetic subcultures can seem inconsequential and like short-lived trends of the past. But there is a long-term movement away from large-scale countercultures towards niche subcultures, which makes comparing them anachronistic. The physical ecosystems of the past (clothing stores, music concerts, magazines, etc.) could only sustain a limited number of subcultures, so people outside of the mainstream only had limited groups to join, and this inflated their numbers. The current digital ecosystem (social media sites, online shopping, etc.) can support a wide diversity of niche subcultures which the larger subcultures are splintering into.
Individually most of these aesthetics subcultures are not notable, but collectively they are a sizeable movement that currently has no other article to be discussed in. Photos of Japan (talk) 02:48, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting. We have plenty of editors here who disagree over whether "internet aesthetic" is or is not a real "thing" but we rely on sources to determine this. We have a disagreement over whether there are reliable sources verifying the subject's notability while other editors see the article as OR. Could we get a source assessment to settle this dispute over whether there are adequate sources providing SIGCOV or not?

  • Comment Of the three sources cited by the last user, none of them use the term "internet aesthetic" (one says "internet aestheticization", though). To me this argues that the label is an attempt to tie together different things in an WP:OR way. I don't have a strong keep/delete opinion. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 13:11, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Vox article uses both "online aesthetic" and "digital aesthetic". In reality these are just referred to as "aesthetic" most of the time, but when trying to discuss them and clearly differentiate them from regular aesthetics people sometimes put an adjective in front of them. This article could be renamed something like Aesthetic (internet). Photos of Japan (talk) 16:51, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is precisely the problem with pretty much all sources attempted. They talk about aesthetics that happen to be common/connected to the internet, but that doesn't make them an "internet aesthetic". Just because people find examples of cottagecore online doesn't make it an "internet aesthetic. --ZimZalaBim talk 17:20, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a problem with the sources though, but a problem with the article. The article should just refer to these as "aesthetics" and probably be named something along the lines of Aesthetics (parenthetical differentiator), but there's no clear word to put in the parentheses to differentiate it from the Aesthetics article. Photos of Japan (talk) 19:14, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There have been two recurring concerns brought up here: that the grouping of aesthetics here is WP:OR, and that internet aesthetics lack WP:SIGCOV. Discussion has been fragmented, so I will comprehensively address both here.
WP:OR/WP:SYNTH concerns
There are two practical methods for determining what counts as an internet aesthetic for the purpose of being incorporated into this article. For the first, any entry in the Aesthetics Wiki can simply be considered an aesthetic. The Aesthetics Wiki has wide currency as the space on the internet where aesthetics are being documented and catalogued, with multiple rs's that go in depth on internet aesthetics primarily referencing the wiki ([123][124][125]).
For the second practical method, anything containing a common aesthetic suffix or which commonly has "aesthetic" appended to the end of it can be considered an internet aesthetic for this article. For instance, "Clean Girl" is often referred to as "Clean Girl aesthetic" ([126] [127]). Common aesthetic suffixes include “core” (e.g., cottagecore), “goth” (e.g., cybergoth), “kei” (e.g., cult party kei), “punk” (e.g., sea punk), “wave” (e.g., sovietwave), and “academia” (e.g., dark academia)
WP:SIGCOV
Just glancing at the references section and looking at their titles shows that "aesthetics" in the internet sense is in widespread use by reliable sources. However, the main concern people have is whether there is significant coverage to establish them as a concept. This is unequivocally the case with multiple sources delving in depth into aesthetics:
With these (and others) there is enough to write fairly sizeable history, definition, and criticism sections. A concern that has been raised is that these do not all use the term "internet aesthetic". Many terms are used: "online aesthetic", "digital aesthetic", "micro aesthetic", etc. Most commonly they are simply called "aesthetics" (it is tangential to the discussion of notability, but I believe this article should simply refer to them as "aesthetics" and be renamed something like Aesthetic (internet)). Regardless of what they call it, it is clear they are all referring to the same concept, and are referring to things which would be considered internet aesthetics by the two practical methods described earlier.
Issues concerning the article lacking a cited definition, or other content issues have been raised, but should be addressed through editing. The lack of a cited definition is not due to lack of sources trying to define aesthetics, but due to the difficulty in defining them. I am working on a summary of how different sources have discussed its usage, but it is a linguistically complex issue and will likely take a few days. Photos of Japan (talk) 08:39, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Seems like an article on Aesthetics Wiki (now a redirect) would/could use the sources above more accurately. It is a tangible thing that exists, controversies and all. I don't think a case has been made that Internet aesthetic exists. Perhaps reversing the redirect would allow for a wiki worthy article that could touch on the topics listed now that fall into OR. I suggest redirect and rewrite as an alternative to deletion, unless a [fandom site] is never considered notable, in which case I stick with removing the article.I do not find any reliable sourcing for this article as it stands and don't see how it can be edited into anything wiki-worthy.--WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 02:05, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Internet aesthetics exist and are straightforward to identify as such even if they are hard to define. It doesn't help that "The terms "internet aesthetic" and "aesthetic" are often used interchangeably." To simply borrow the description from the wiki:
Aesthetics have now come to mean a collection of images, colors, objects, music, and writings that creates a specific emotion, purpose, and community.
Aesthetics largely emerged from the categorization of media across social aggregation websites (Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc.). Broadly speaking "aesthetics" is used to variably to describe collections of media that exemplify something akin to a style or trend, the lifestyles and communities based around them, and the individuals that identify with them. Various sources discuss, however, how they differ from things like styles (not explicitly defined, instead typically illustrated by collections of exemplifying materials), and subcultures (communities around aesthetics don't require physical participation, are more ephemeral, tend to lack political stances/morals/etc.) It is very difficult trying to summarize the various sources' descriptions of how "aesthetics" is used and what "aesthetics" are, while avoiding WP:SYNTH, due to the variety of closely related meanings the word has and the lack of a linguistics source comprehensively and explicitly detailing how the word is being used. However, all of the sources are in common agreement as to what things are aesthetics (e.g. cottagecore, Y2K aesthetic, Dark academia, etc.), these all either end in common aesthetics suffixes or are referred to as "X aesthetic" widely across social media, and are documented and appear in the Aesthetics wiki. Some sources that discuss them include:
The aesthetics of the self: The meaning-making of Internet aesthetics article in First Monday (journal) exploring and characterizing the nature of internet aesthetics:
In this study we explore the so-called Internet aesthetics, labels applied on heterogenous collections of materials and activities by Internet users, which are discussed and constructed primarily on the Internet.
Do I have an Aesthetic? article on aesthetics in Vogue (magazine)
What I’m asking in these moments is, in internet parlance, what is my aesthetic? ... I’m suddenly aware of just how many hyper-specific aesthetics with handy, catchy names already exist on the internet. Overtime, “aesthetic” has evolved from an academic word and something utilized by artists and auteurs to something to categorize our own identities by. It can mean both personal style and a vague stand-in for beauty ... Pinterest says that there has been a growing interest in aesthetics since 2018, with a “large spike of 60% in searches for simply “core aesthetic” as Pinners discovered different types of aesthetics to shape their identity,” ... On Tumblr, users would build their blogs around a particular theme, whether it was cottagecore or a collage of images representing a character from a TV show. These niches have blossomed and expanded. One Tumblr user, who goes by Fairypage, took notice of just how many aesthetics were being defined online, and decided to make the AestheticsWiki ... has her own definition for what an aesthetic is: The stylistically consistent multimodal manifestation of an imagined lifeworld. In other words, “Something is an aesthetic if you can look at an image [or song] and say ‘yeah that belongs there.’”
All style, no substance: the problem of aesthetics in 2023 article on aesthetics in Prospect (magazine)
Aesthetics is no longer an investigative term for the science of beauty and taste, but an umbrella term for online subcultures, a byword for “vibe”. And you can do more than just admire an aesthetic: it’s now something you can be too, if you wear the right clothes and listen to the right playlist. As the wiki itself puts it, “There is currently no dictionary definition that captures the complexity of this phenomenon, which arose in the Internet youth.”
Cottagecore Was Just the Beginning article on aesthetics in The Atlantic:
At this point, the word aesthetic is totally divorced from its academic origins. While Tumblr users mainstreamed it years ago, many teenagers use aesthetic as an all-purpose adjective—“that’s so aesthetic” as a shorthand for “that’s so aesthetically pleasing to me.” But in broader internet parlance, it now means a collection of signifiers or, more precisely, a “vibe.”
Decoding Internet Fashion: 20 Aesthetics for 2023 marketing analysis of internet aesthetics by Ipsos
To understand each aesthetic, we analyzed 8 million posts – including text, images, and videos – related to Angelcore, Art Hoe, Baddie, Clean Girl, Coastal Grandmother, Cottagecore, Dark Academia, E-girl, Emo, Fairycore, Grunge, Indie, Kawaii, Kidcore, Light Academia, Old Money, Skater Girl, Soft Girl, Vintage, and Y2K. Hashtags for each of the aesthetics have generated billions of views and interactions on TikTok, displaying content from influencers, brands, and “normal” platform users. While TikTok generates the most engagement on aesthetics-related posts, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram are also go-to sites to share and discuss content.'
Style at Home: Internet aesthetics: cottagecore vs. cluttercore article in The Detroit News:
The aesthetics tend to be more than just a design choice, sometimes also embodying a fantastical-seeming lifestyle.
Ranking 2023's Internet Aesthetic Trends article in Paper (magazine)
More sources exist, but I believe these are sufficient to show that internet aesthetics (e.g. Corecore, Y2K aesthetic, Light academia, Cottagecore) exist, and have recieved WP:SIGCOV, even if they are conceptually difficult to describe. Photos of Japan (talk) 04:34, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It really seems like you're conflating the existence and study of aesthetics that happen to be online to the existence of an "internet aesthetic". This is the core OR/SYNTH issue at hand. --ZimZalaBim talk 14:55, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This paper details what internet aesthetics are. Just glancing through the abstract and introduction establishes their existence. Photos of Japan (talk) 17:31, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The paper referred to above states in the Abstract In this study we explore the so-called Internet aesthetics labels applied on heterogenous collections of materials and activities, which are discussed and constructed primarily on the Internet (mainly onInstagram, Tumblr and Pinterest). In contrast to established notions, such as genre, style or subculture, Internet aesthetics are characterized by few conventions, but seem fundamentally open for individual interpretations. (emphasis mine). It fails to define Internet aesthetics in any useful way, in fact it takes a step back from supplying any useful information by stating that it is whatever one wants it to be. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:48, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that "so-called" is often used in an ironic sense to cast doubt on something (i.e. implying that something is merely "called" something but isn't actually that thing), but this paper is using "so-called" in the straightforward sense: "used to show that something or someone is commonly designated by the name or term specified".
The paper spends half of its text describing and characterizing internet aesthetics, and arguing that they aren't "styles", "genres", "subcultures", etc. It isn't saying internet aesthetics are whatever you want them to be when it says that they are "fundamentally open for individual interpretations". Rather it is saying that what defines an internet aesthetic is the mood that the individual feels, and that different media affect individuals differently, allowing individuals to select media which set the mood for them.
For instance, a beanie baby might evoke feelings of childhood nostalgia in someone here, while for an old Japanese man Daruma otoshi might evoke feelings of childhood nostalgia. Internet aesthetics are characterized by collections of exemplifying media (songs, images, etc.) that set a certain mood, but are fundamentally open to individuals to include or exclude things that don't evoke that mood for them, rather than being prescriptive (like a style or genre) and being defined based off external, sensorial qualities.

Thank for you the table, however, it is important to note that "The terms "internet aesthetic" and "aesthetic" are often used interchangeably." (I understand that wikis are generally not reliable, but given this particular wiki is the main place internet aesthetics are documented and categorized (and is referenced in reliable sources) then I feel its page on internet aesthetics helps support basic statements about how the term itself is used.) The problem that we have is this article isn't about the term "internet aesthetic", but the concept, and the concept is widely referred to just as "aesthetics".
Internet aesthetics are just "aesthetics" (in the expanded internet usage of the word) that developed and occur primarily online.
To determine if sources are referring to internet aesthetics you need to consider the context of the article.
As an example, the Vogue article describes both internet and non-internet aesthetics:
Some are old school—Art Deco is listed along with preppy—others are products of the internet, like e-girls and bubblegum bitch
The Vogue article is discussing "aesthetics" (in the internet sense of the word) broadly, so while it could be used to establish the notability of "aesthetics", it wouldn't establish notability of any subsets of "aesthetics" such as "internet aesthetics".
As far as reliable sources that explicitly use the term "internet aesthetics" and give them significant coverage, here are three academic papers:
I believe those three papers, by themselves, are enough to meet WP:SIGCOV. The third article also includes the statement
In the past few years, researchers from English, History, Comparative Literature, Sociology, and Culture Studies, among others, have begun interrogating internet aesthetics as cultural phenomena that implicate their own disciplines, as well as the structures of academia writ large.
And appears as though it may be a source for additional articles discussing internet aesthetics. Photos of Japan (talk) 23:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nylon (magazine) has a series of articles called "Core Club" devoted to covering internet aesthetics:

Thank you Photos of Japan, you've done a great deal of work in finding what I would think are enough sources to save the page or at least provide a "no consensus" option.

  • Delete on the basis of the synthesis issue as discussed above: it is correct there are aesthetic trends, that they are localised on Internet communities and critically discussed, but the category as a whole is indefinite, lacks rigorous sourcing based on above source checks, and so the exercise of connecting the dots is largely one undertaken by the editor without any agreed typology. Without a scope it becomes confusing whether the aesthetics of interest refer to those created within and using the medium or popularised and disseminated on subcultures on the Internet. Lots to salvage here on individual trends though. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 22:40, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is true that the "category as a whole is indefinite" which would essentially make this a broad-concept article (WP:BROAD):
A broad-concept article is an article that addresses a concept that may be difficult to write about because it is abstract, or because it covers the sometimes-amorphous relationship between a wide range of related concepts.
Other example articles are indefinite as well, such as Central Asia and Northern Europe, which similarly have issues with WP:SYNTH. The problem with SYNTH in broad concept articles has been discussed on the talk page, however, SYNTH is ultimately a content issue and not a notability issue unless per WP:SIGCOV the sourcing requires OR in order to write an article.
But an article's subject being broad, vague or abstract does not necessitate that OR is needed to write it, otherwise WP:BROAD wouldn't exist.
In terms of this particular article I believe one potential way the SYNTH issues could be addressed could be:
The definition section limits itself to articles that explicitly discuss "internet aesthetics" (as I've rewritten it to do).
Examples of internet aesthetics are limited to those which have been explicitly described as "internet aesthetics" (there are already several examples that are explicitly described as such)
The history section can include more general sources on the term "aesthetic" and how its usage has evolved in internet parlance.
I believe this is one way that the article could be written to avoid SYNTH while still having enough content to write an article. Photos of Japan (talk) 20:03, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I came here due to servicing the category "Category:Articles containing suspected AI-generated texts" and found this. Had a look it. If this was a true social movement it would be academically rigourous, studied and would be referenced as such, but it isn't, with plenty of academic references available to support it. Its quite hard to find anything on gbooks except self-published books. Instead its been cobbled together from a set of independent subjects and referenced as such to popular internet sites which essentially makes it WP:OR published by the author. It was moved from draft by him without being referenced. If it had been, it wouldn't made it out. scope_creepTalk 10:18, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I very vaguely remember these being released back in the day, when I was working at a bookstore. If I remember correctly, this series was intended to capitalize on the popularity of series like Twilight, Gossip Girl, and Pretty Little Liars. Quite a few publishers were trying to capture that lightning in a bottle that those series obtained. In any case, it didn't really get much mainstream attention - I can't find anything out there to suggest otherwise either. This released, sold well enough to warrant a few books in the series, but just never received any coverage in places that Wikipedia would see as a reliable, notability-giving source.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says:

    A book is presumed notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

      The review provides 243 words of coverage about Vampire Beach: Initiation. The review notes: "Initiation isn't as wholesome as some teenage fiction; there's some drinking and suggestions of lust that have nothing to do with blood. But the moral of the story is that modern vampires, like ordinary teenagers, have to exercise restraint in their drinking habits to avoid discovery."

      The review provides 171 words of coverage about Vampire Beach: Bloodlust. The review notes: "This is a well-written tale of school life in Malibu, and this book is only one in a series of books about Jason and his sister, Dani, and their “friends” in the high school where they have come to live. ... Only rogue vampires kill and, of course, Jason must confront both the rogue and his competition at school, in a tale that is meant to flow into other stories."

      The review provides 146 words of coverage about Vampire Beach: Bloodlust. The review notes: "For the large part, Duval makes no such attempt to do anything original with this Lost Boys-meets-the-OC tale of beautiful immortals in sunny Malibu. ... Towards the end of the novel, Duval takes a great many liberties with the vampire mythology, none of which I can reveal here without spoiling the plot. However, this is an enjoyable enough and breezy read for fans of trashy teen fiction."

      The article provides 97 words of coverage. The article notes: "Another twist on the lives of the young and fabulous comes from Vampire Beach, a series that owes a debt to both Beverly Hills 90210 and R. L. Stine. Jason Freeman moves with his parents and younger sister from Michigan to exclusive Malibu Beach, where he falls in with the super-rich, super-hot, popular crowd. But partying has a truly dark side--a girl turns up dead with suspicious bite marks, and Jason discovers that beautiful people can be deadly. This take on vampire myth will drive purists crazy, but might sell well to A-List and The OC fans."

      The review provides 81 words of coverage about Vampire Beach: Initiation. The review notes: "This second book in the Vampire Beach series is unashamedly cheesy but who can resist the winning combination of Malibu, wealthy teens, seduction and vampires? Jason, the new kid in town, falls for sultry Sienna Devereux as his friend Tyler becomes involved with the "wrong crowd" (the sort that have fangs). Brimming with teen-speak and popular culture references, Initiation is the book you can't wait to read on the beach, although you may have to leave it buried in the sand."

The review notes: "Return to the glamour and intrigue of DeVere High, where the cool crowd are in fact the undead and bloodsucking has never been so cool. I can't help loving these books, they are out-rageously addictive, super cool, and as sharp as a wooden stake right to the heart."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Vampire Beach to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

    Cunard (talk) 12:50, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think this isn't significant coverage in reliable sources. Most of this looks like plot recap, with a few quotable quotes that maybe express some kind of feeling/opinion.
  • Sure, Housden 2006 provides 235 words of coverage in theory, but all but 46 of those words are straight plot recap and are pretty much useless for notability/citation purposes. And as far as analysis goes, I don't exactly find modern vampires, like ordinary teenagers, have to exercise restraint in their drinking habits to avoid discovery. to be inspiring. (That's half of what i'm calling 'analysis'.)
  • Jacob 2006 is actually pretty good, although them putting the town after the name makes me feel like it's reader submitted.
  • McGarvey 2006 is also mostly plot recap, not SIGCOV.
  • Can't access Squires 2006.
  • Atkinson 2006 is a small paragraph in large font with barely anything useful in it.
  • Can't access The Bookseller.
  • C'mon, Fonseca 2011 clearly isn't SIGCOV.
Taken together, I think calling these the basis for an article would ultimately yield an article that ignores a lot of best practices – like citing sources that make an effort, instead of the routine 75-word book review mill. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 17:04, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The American newspaper The Courier-Mail, the American journal The Alan Review, the Welsh newspaper South Wales Argus, the American magazine Voice of Youth Advocates, the Australian newspaper The Age, and the British magazine The Bookseller are not "book review mill[s]". These are all respected publications. Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria says a book is notable when it "has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself". The notability guideline for books does not say that "straight plot recap" are "pretty much useless for notability/citation purposes". In fact, there was a strong consensus in the August 2023 RfC at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 186#RfC on requiring non-plot coverage to demonstrate book notability against amending the notability guideline to add this text:

When assessing whether a book is notable the content of the source must be considered. Plot descriptions and quotes from the book should be omitted when determining whether a source contains significant coverage.

Until and unless the notability guideline is changed to exclude the plot summary parts of sources from contributing to significant coverage, they do contribute to significant coverage. These sources contain sufficient independent analysis and commentary that decent-sized sections that go beyond plot summary can be written at Vampire Beach#Background and Vampire Beach#Reception. Jacob 2006 is not reader submitted. According to the Winter 1994 issue of the journal, John Jacob was an Associate Professor of English at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois.

@Theleekycauldron: The excerpts Cunard posted are the entirety of the coverage Squires 2006 and The Bookseller (accessible via TWL here) provides of this series. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 22:47, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: This is one of those situations where it would be helpful to have a notability criteria for book series. Out of all the reviews Cunard posted, I'd only consider the first three (and maybe 4/5, but its a bit shaky) to provide sufficient coverage to count towards NBOOK. The problem is most (not 4) of them are reviewing the individual books, not the series. If this were an AfD for an individual book, then two would be enough, but since this is for the series, do we still need only 2 for notability, and if so, do they have to be coverage of the overall series? Or is reviews for a decent portion of the series enough to justify a series article. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 22:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: There was previous discussion about series at Wikipedia talk:Notability (books)/Archive 8#Should NBOOK cover series or just individual books?. In the AfD that prompted that discussion, ReaderofthePack (talk · contribs) made this comment:

    There has been precedent in the past with AfDs that the notability for individual parts of a series can establish notability for the main parent series - even if the sourcing for those books do not go into depth about the overall series. You can see my above comments for further detail, but the gist is that since these books are part of the whole, coverage for the novels can be seen as coverage for the whole since each book builds on the existing storyline. Merging everything into a single article for the first book would run the risk of putting undue weight on the series or providing incomplete coverage when more sourcing is available and a more reasonable compromise would be to have a main series page.

    The argument for whether or not series can gain notability for their individual pieces is something that should absolutely be discussed at NBOOK before the article is deleted. (If the consensus of that is that there must be individual coverage, then of course this should be renominated.) To be blunt, this would likely decimate a sizeable portion of Wikipedia's coverage on literature. Not all of it, but quite a bit, so if this is going to happen we need to discuss it first. GNG is not a one size fits all scenario and this is one of those areas where NOTINHERITED, in my opinion, does not apply. It would only apply if we were to argue that the series is notable because some of Weber's other series are notable. Arguing that series can only be notable if there is specific coverage of the whole feels a little like it's defeating Wikipedia's purposes, to be honest because it feels like we're arguing that a whole person cannot become notable because the coverage only covers what they can do with their hands and feet. Plus from a deletionist's perspective the series page is more efficient because then we eliminate the need for individual series pages as the main series page covers the books far more efficiently. (To be perfectly honest, I think most series should have only one main series page and not individual book articles unless there is a large amount of coverage to justify this.)

    Based on this analysis, I think it's reasonable to cover all of these books in a series article. The books have received varying levels of coverage. Vampire Beach: Bloodlust and Vampire Beach: Initiation both pass Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria, but the other books in the series do not pass it. Rather than creating two separate small articles about the two notable books in the series (and not discussing the other books in the series at all), it better serves readers to cover them all in a series article. This position aligns with Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Merging to broader subjects, which says:

    In some situations, editors decide that a separate article about a book, regardless of whether the book is notable, is not the best choice. The main alternatives include merging the content about a book to an article about the author, to an article about a book series (if it is part of a series), or to a list. ... Similarly, a single article giving an overview of a whole book series (e.g., the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories or the Aubrey–Maturin series) may be preferable to having separate articles about individual books in the series.

    Cunard (talk) 11:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing vote to keep. Good job Cunard in finding those - they completely evaded me when I searched! I also do agree that a book series article would be the best option here. My stance on the series has always been that if we can find enough sourcing, to keep a book article. I absolutely agree that we do need to have a bit at NBOOK that either covers series or a notability guideline for series as a whole. My stance at the above discussion was that we double or triple the amount of sourcing needed for a series article, as a way of being more discerning. I've written enough series articles to know that if a series is truly non-notable, it won't have the coverage. I've tried making articles for relatively popular series (in their genre) that didn't gain enough coverage to even justify a series page.
In any case, steering this back to the article at hand, Cunard was able to find 7 sources. Some of them might seem short or heavy on the summary, but as far as I know there hasn't been any sort of definitive discussion as far as what is or isn't usable as a source. Length can impact what is seen as usable sometimes, but that's often for reviews that are 1-2 sentences long overall (ie, not even any summary). It also helps that the sources Cunard brought up are outlets seen as pretty solid otherwise - the only one I'd see as obviously trivial would be the Joshi source, since that's a one line mention. VOYA is probably one of the next shortest, but they're seen as a pretty good source. The organization had ties to the ALA and while they reviewed quite a bit, they were always a bit discerning. I say all of this in past tense, as VOYA was one of the many outlets and organizations that went under during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resulting sourcing isn't as strong as I'd like, but I think it's enough to justify a series article. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:36, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No SIGCOV, I can only find 1 independent, non-sponsored, in-depth, and reliable source. Bearian, just because we're scrutinized by the public doesn't mean we need to keep articles that are not within policy. In fact, we should be making every effort to delete articles out of policy. The book user:Megalibrarygirl added (from my one-in-the-morning skim of Google Books) appears to be fairly trivial, stating facts and that's 'bout it. JayCubby 06:15, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: I wrote this article and there's plenty of coverage for GNG. Please look at the full set of sources the article uses. They include:
  1. Changing the Equation: 50+ Women in STEM Published by Abrams 2020
  2. Coverage on NPR: Changing the Game in Video Gaming 2013
  3. Biography on BlackPast: [128] 2018
  4. Women in Gaming 2018 DK Publishing biography
  5. Business Insider from 2015 [129]
  6. Gaming magazine [130] 2024
  7. Biography on Centre for Computing History [131]
As shown above, the subject of the article has been noticed by important people in her field, such as the Computer History museum. The assertion that books made for general consumption are trivial is not an argument for deletion. What is a trivial book to one person is not trivial to others and can still be a good source of reliable information. Non-fiction books by large publishers (Such as Abrams) go through a good amount of copyedit and scrutiny. In addition, books for general consumption show that a person is notable in their field enough to break through to the general public which is why they are included in 2 popular reading anthologies. With all of the coverage from several sources over time, including two books, the article demonstrates WP:GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 19:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Megalibrarygirl here. I saw this delete nomination and started looking through the sources. This looks pretty solid to me.

  • Comment by Jay Cubby with re-formatting by Nnev66 to keep discussion consistent and hopefully easier to follow:
  1. Google Books: From the pages that were available there (I couldn't find a PDF to pirate), mentions appear trivial but Google Books probably omitted lots of pages.
  2. NPR: It's an interview, so not really independent.
  3. BlackPast: "This entry is sponsored by Quintard Taylor" -- unless sponsored means someone made a donation to BlackPast and got their name on articles in return, I'm skeptical.
  4. That book was written by Meagan Marie, at the time of that book's writing she was an online community manager (whatever that means) for Crystal Dynamics. I don't see a professional connection between Marie and Titre-Montgomery on my skim of the article. The book reads (again , from the Google Books sample) like children's pulp fiction (pixel font, headings like "♥STATS: Industry Level: 20; CURRENT CLASS: Co-Chair")
  5. Business Insider: Titre-Montgomery is 23 of 23 on the list, and the portion devoted to her is short enough I can quote it without fear of running into copyright issues:
    6. - Titre has been a video game developer for over thirteen years. A couple of months ago she landed at Ubisoft, makers of the smash hit Assassin's Creed series, as a manager in its art/computer department.
    - Not only does she have a geek's dream job, but Titre has also been a tireless advocate encouraging more young women, especially underprivileged youth, to consider the gaming industry as a career.
  6. GamesIndustry.biz: (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GamesIndustry.biz) From their about: "GamesIndustry.biz is the market leading website and community for news and information about the global video games industry." The article mostly consists of quotes from L-TM.
  7. CfCH: No sigcov. The entirety of her bio is a whopping 124 words.

  • Keep per references provided by Megalibrarygirl, of which #3, #6, and #7 IMO are the strongest sources for WP:SIGCOV in reliable sources for WP:GNG. The other references provide more than passing mention. In the next week or two I'll try to see how much coverage the books have. I added info from the CNN video to the article. I'd also include "5 Top Black Women In STEM" in Black Enterprise as a GNG source. Nnev66 (talk) 16:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I still believe WP:GNG is met by sources in the article. For #3, it looks like BlackPast asks for sponsorships for all articles. Note Quintard Taylor sponsored a variety of pages, i.e. no reason to think the subject paid for the article. Regarding #6, which includes 300 words that are not direct quotes, GamesIndustry.biz appears to have editorial oversight and is referenced in other newspapers, i.e. seems like a reliable source. I had not originally included #2, the NPR "Tell Me More" interview by Michel Martin for GNG, but it does have 225 words of secondary independent commentary by the interviewer. I also believe 5 Top Black Women in STEM in Black Enterprise (let's call source #8 for this discussion) contributes to GNG, which is a bit over 200 words without direct quotes by subject. Note all of these sources are more than trivial mention. WP:SIGCOV doesn't give a word minimum to count towards GNG, just that the source "addresses the topic directly and in detail".

Been sitting in the unclear notability pile for 10+ years now, and it cites only one source that doesn't help for NBIO or GNG. There's one mag profile that doesn't go into much real depth but I guess could help, but I couldn't find anything else.

  • Comment The SMIFS analyst report I shared earlier has been struck through. On page 13, it mentions that SMIFS or its associates may have received payments for products or services not related to investment banking or brokerage from the company mentioned in the report over the past year. Because of this, I am pulling back my earlier weak keep vote. As of now, just two analyst reports alone aren’t enough to prove notability. I should have read the disclaimer carefully.

Non-notable soccer stadium that fails both WP:GNG and WP:NARENA, which holds that athletic stadia are neither presumptively notable nor inherit the notability of any teams that play there. Significant coverage has not been demonstrated to exist, the article has been inadequately sourced for over fifteen years now (and was notability tagged for 12 years), its only current source is primary. Previous AfD went keep on the basis of several "It's notable," "It's big," and "Important games have been played there," among other illegitimate reasons. Ravenswing 09:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete zero notability established. Sole source is from the home club, their website also doesn't appear to exist anymore. Looking at the previous AfD (which you also nominated), all of the keep arguments completely violated WP:INHERIT and WP:NARENA (which some of them even used as a keep argument), and the closing admin looks to have simply done a vote count.

WP:BLP of a health insurance executive, not adequately sourced as passing inclusion criteria for businesspeople. As always, health insurance CEOs are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on coverage that's substantively about them and their work, but the referencing here isn't really cutting it: the best sources are two short blurbs published on the same day announcing his initial hiring for the job, which aren't substantive enough to get him over GNG all by themselves, while the rest of the footnotes comprise a press release self-published by his company (which isn't an independent source), an industry trade newsletter that isn't a GNG-worthy publication, and three articles that aren't about him in any non-trivial sense, but just glancingly namecheck him in the process of being principally about the overall phenomenon of how much insurance executives are getting paid.
Further, the information about his annual financial compensation over several years is a bit of a BLP minefield, especially in the wake of last week's shooting -- the amount that a person gets paid is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself, but that appears to be this article's primary concern.
Simply existing as an insurance CEO, regardless of how much money he is or isn't making, is not "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be the principal subject of more GNG-worthy coverage about him and his work than this article is showing. Bearcat (talk) 01:19, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the mention in the article, "While at Aetna, Zubretsky increased telecommuting for employees as a way to save on office and real estate costs." Maybe so, but this was already the going trend in corporate America about the time he started doing that. — Maile (talk) 04:06, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I mean, this is well-sourced. A "Run of the mill CEO article" isn't exactly routine, there aren't thousands of health-care CEOs, he's one of a handful... A company of this size is akin to General Motors or Enron, so the CEO would be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 03:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well-sourced how, if the only footnotes that actually represent real media outlets writing about him are both short blurbs? Bearcat (talk) 03:26, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

Non-notable massacre or air strike. One of the source (ANHA - Hawar News Agency) is linked to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). ANHA is forbidden in Turkey because it's seen as a propaganda tool of SDF, therefore I have no idea about what exactly is written in the source. Other source (arabi21.com) don't talk about Al-Mustariha or even a kind of massacre commited by Turkish air force. I'm not sure can we create an artice about every air strike and can we name every air strike as a massacre. I found no reliable sources online. I think it fails WP:RS and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. If there is a real massacre, this page can be used: List of massacres during the Syrian civil war.--Sabri76'talk 14:01, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment:
Comment As mentioned above, neither of the two listed sources describe the event in question. However, there are other sites online that do, such as here and here, but no major news agency has reported on it yet. --Leviavery (talk) 16:17, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned below, SOHR just make news of anouncement of SDF controlled Raqqa Governorate. Turkey has made lots of air strikes and some of them might kill some civillians but I mean we need more reliable sources that air strike is a massacre. SDF/PYD controlled news agency ANFA try to create a perception that Turkish Air Force deliberately bombed a civillian house for order to ensure the emigration of the people. We're sure there were many airstrike and some soldiers and civillians are killer but we're not sure is this a massacre or an ordinary air strike. SDF-PYD don't want loose their areas because they want autonomy and independence if it's possible in the future. Therefore they create news like that for gaining inrernational support against Türkey. Therefore wikipedians should be suspicious about these type of claims and need more reliable sources. We have to ask what makes this event (air strike) special if we consider last bloody 10 years of Syrian Civil War?--Sabri76'talk 20:30, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree ANHA shouldn’t be used, it’s clearly not reliable considering the context, but SOHR is a reliable source. As other sources have started to emerge confirming the details, I don’t see a need to delete the article. Please keep WP:NPOV in mind, as both Turkish and Kurdish aligned sources have bias.

Aleppo | Turkish drone kills 11 SDF fighters in eastern countryside - The Syrian Observatory For Human Rights
SOHR itself calls them to be fighters, though this article calls it massacre of civilians by the Turkish Armed Forces. AscendencyXXIV (talk) 14:53, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support The whole article of such an important event only has two references, thus the mentioned sources lack overall credibility - there's no report from any respectable/well-known media agency. AscendencyXXIV (talk) 15:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Slight Keep SOHR is a reliable source, and while the coverage is limited as of now, this leads me to believe that there is more to come. FlalfTalk 17:09, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SOHR shared the anouncement of SDF-led Raqqa Governorate and it says "191 air strikes". If this is a massacre, how about other 190 air strikes and dead bodies? If it's a systematic air strike massacre, why there is no other news and why big city centres are not bombed? SOHR also says totally 20 civilians killed in air strikes besides 32 SDF soldiers and 3 Assad regime soldiers. Also massacre is so disputed concept in this civil war. For example in here civillians died besides soldiers and I've searched key word of "massacre". I've found that just SDF (YPG) asserted Turkey committed a massacre against civilians and the source belongs to SOHR. I think using only the SOHR source prevents the objectivity of the event. The event in the article is the killing of soldiers and civilians as a result of air strikes and I think that it is not necessary to open a separate article since it is not a sui generis event in this civil war.--Sabri76'talk 17:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The massacre occurred today, and we have two reliable sources reporting on it as mentioned above. It's also worth noting that the Arabic divisions of Sky News and The Independent have both covered this attack. Biases within Kurdish sources such as ANHA should be taken into account, but most Kurdish sources I've seen source SOHR instead of SDF. Jebiguess (talk) 01:04, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: All news are based on SOHR and SOHR based on Raqqa Governorate. No photographs or witnesses in the news. Even if we accept this event is real but still no one has answered these questions yet: Does the bombing of a building make it noteworthy? Should an article be created for it or should it be simply moved to page List of massacres during the Syrian civil war ? In List of massacres page, Turkey wasn't mentioned. Is this a new and only massacre from at the beginng of the Syria war? If 190 air strike kills SDF-YPG soldiers and one of them kills civillians, is this make a massacre? Are you sure that it is a massacre instead of an air strike? For examle we have this article: April 2017 Turkish airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Also civillians killed in those air strikes. This article was created to show that Turkey only carries out air strike to massacre innocent civilians. However, this airstrike is only one of 191 airstrikes against the SDF-YPG, and how neutral is it to open an article for a building that was bombed intentionally or accidentally? Israel also killed 6 civillians in this air strike (2024 Homs airstrikes) Why this is not a massacre?--Sabri76'talk 06:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Offer: (My offer is valid provided that there is a consensus that the article should remain) I've found Turkish-based English news and I can see the photos. Therefore, I propose to change the title of the article as 2024 Turkish airstrikes in Syria, because Turkey does not want an autonomous or independent PKK-affiliated structure to be established in northern Syria and therefore, it is highly possible that operations will continue and air strikes will increase. Thus, this article will be open to develop for further actions.--Sabri76'talk 06:39, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Update: My opinion is this is not a noteworthy event for creating an article unlike air strikes in Syria. If you want to see real massacre about Turkish Air Force, Roboski massacre is most popular one and this was widely discussed in the Turkish media and parliament for many years. If you have a consensus about this event is a massacre you can mention in here: List of massacres during the Syrian civil war. However this article but there are no sources to prove that it was a massacre. However massive air strikes are a fact.--Sabri76'talk 10:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        I don’t understand your opposition. I’m not anti-Turkish or trying to push a narrative, as a Wikipedian I’m simply trying to encourage documentation of facts. There is now a significant amount of independent coverage (particularly in Arab language sources) and even of a Turkish source (as you provided). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Perhaps there should additionally be made an article about the more general air strikes, but this refers to a specific event.

        Also as I mentioned earlier, please keep WP:NPOV in mind. I understand you are Turkish, but you should remember to consider your own biases, especially in sanctioned areas such as around Kurdish related topics. FlalfTalk 16:54, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @AscendencyXXIV:, @Flalf:, @Braganza: I'm convinced about reality of the event and this discussion can be closed with a consensus, but I still have doubts about the definition of massacre, I think it's about moving the title and it's not the topic of here. I do not have any bias on issues related to Kurds, but I see a lot of systematic Turkophobia in the English Wikipedia, which is supposed to be unbiased. There is such a high level of prejudice against Turks on wikipedia that I don't participate in discussions because of the risk of being labeled as a nationalist even by writing a sentence, but calling the Turkish Air Force as mass murderer because one of the 191 bombings led to the death of innocents doesn't sound neutral at all. If the creator of the article hadn't used the word "massacre" but said "air strike", this article wouldn't have attracted my attention. I have heard on the news that they've been carrying out air strikes in recent days, but massacre is a very big claim. I would like to invite you to the page to get your views on the topic related to the title, I apologize for keeping this place busy.--Sabri76'talk 17:47, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      • I've changed my mind because I still cannot find the location of Al-Mustariha. News says it's in the west of Ayn Issa and north of Raqqa, but we just see Mustariha village in Idlib. Before this news, there's no information about Al-Mustariha village in Ayn Issa. This is so weird. Almost I've found a Mustariha in Hama Governorate. Why I cannot find the location? If we cannot find the location, could we presume that event took place in Ayn Issa Province? I've used VPN and I've seen ANHA news which says 12 dead people but SOHR says 11 civillians. I think one of 12 killed people is SDF-YPG soldier but ANHA didn't mention it because of ideological background of news agency. SOHR used the Raqqa Governorate's statement and it's normal ı think. However, it is very interesting why all the websites reporting the news only stick to the SOHR announcement and don't clarify the location of the village. There are photos, but not finding any information about the location of the village or any information about the village before the incident makes me suspicious. A few small opposition websites in Turkey, known to be close to the HDP, reported this news. No medium or large-scale news website, also known internationally, mentioned this incident. I am contributing to this page for the first time, but I would like to ask if this is normal. The level of media freedom in Turkey may be low and therefore some news may be ignored, but if it is serious enough to be covered, I ask why other large or medium-sized news agencies didn't report it. Don't misunderstand me, I don't claim bombings and deaths didn't occur.--Sabri76'talk 23:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055, I disagree with your assessment of the sources provided regarding the subject's notability. Your review appears to misinterpret the criteria for WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG.
  1. https://www.myjoyonline.com/executive-vice-president-of-golden-star-resources-daniel-owiredu-re-assigned/ - It does not discuss the subject directly. It focused on the new head rather than him. This source explicitly discusses the subject's tenure and contributions before transitioning from his role. It’s a news article, not a press release
  2. https://www.modernghana.com/news/719911/gcb-board-chairman-accused.html - It is on the allegations rather than him. The allegations themselves are significant coverage directly involving the subject
  3. https://dailyguidenetwork.com/gcb-board-chairman-hot/ - It only focuses on his allegations with little or nothing known about him. This source delves into the subject's standing as GCB Board Chairman and his role in addressing the issues.
  4. https://businessghana.com/site/news/business/204438/Accra-Mining-Network-honours-Daniel-Owiredu - It does address the subject directly. - As you stated it does address the subject directly which you are right

In addition to the sources provided, here are a few as well

The subject pass both WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. None of the sources you assessed as press releases are WP:PRSOURCE and all provide significant coverage of the subject. - Robertjamal12 ~🔔 17:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertjamal12 After this, I am going to literally drop the stick. Your first additional source and the third source are exactly the same as the first source that I called a press release, word for word. A three independent and reliable news media with the same contents word for word and yet you claimed that the source is not a press release. Indeed we are not dealing with press releases here probably a source farming.

  • Here's my analysis of each source so far. The verb tense I used is inconsistent, but irrelevant to notability.
https://www.myjoyonline.com/executive-vice-president-of-golden-star-resources-daniel-owiredu-re-assigned/, https://www.classfmonline.com/business/Golden-Star-s-Daniel-Owiredu-steps-down-as-EVP-5014, and https://ghanaiantimes.com.gh/golden-star-announces-changes-to-management-team/, which count as a single source, are definitely not significant. They have the following information:
On 1 January 2020, Owiredu stepped down as EVP and COO of Golden Star and became chairman of the board of directors of two of the company's subsidiaries.
https://www.modernghana.com/news/719911/gcb-board-chairman-accused.html (reliability: unclear), which I has some criticisms so I don't think it's a press release, has the following:
Owiredu is board chairman of the GCB Bank
He is also chairman of the credit sub-committee
He was blamed for a controversy
He was previously president of the Ghana Chamber of Mines and EVP and COO of Golden Star
https://dailyguidenetwork.com/gcb-board-chairman-hot/ is a different news agency writing about the same event with the same information, so I believe it counts as the same source as the above for WP:GNG purposes:
Owiredu is board chairman of the GCB Bank
He is also chairman of the credit sub-committee
He was blamed for a controversy
He was previously president of the Ghana Chamber of Mines and EVP and COO of Golden Star
https://businessghana.com/site/news/business/204438/Accra-Mining-Network-honours-Daniel-Owiredu has the following information and lists "GNA" as a source (which is unclear as a reliable source):
Owiredu is president and chairman of the local board of directors of Golden Star Resources as of 2020
He is a patron of the Accra Mining Network
He has been in the mining business for more than 30 years as of 2020
He is the former president of the Ghana Chamber of Mines
He is committed to helping communities in mining areas
https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/business/Daniel-Owiredu-is-the-mining-personality-of-the-Year-2017-604726 is significant. I won't try to mine that source for information because there's plenty. Its reliability is unclear, but usually high enough for notability purposes.
https://www.modernghana.com/news/23708/owiredu-appointed-md-of-agc.html seems significant. It seems quite promotional, but I'm not sure if it's a press release. Again, reliability is unclear.
Owiredu is the managing director of SAG
He became managing director of ASC's Obuasi Mine
He attended Adisadel College, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, University of Strathclyde
He is a mechanical engineer
He joined ASC as an engineer in 1984
He became chief engineer underground after almost 17 years
He helped with the AMEP, which helped turn ASC into a multinational company
He became manager of ASC's Bibiani Gold Project in 1996
"Experts" think his appointment is a good idea
https://www.myjoyonline.com/daniel-owiredu-promoted-to-evpcoo-of-golden-star/ is insignificant and almost certainly a press release, just copy/paste the first paragraph into a google search
Owiredu became EVP and COO of Golden Star on 1 January 2014
He was president of the Ghana Chamber of Mines
I'll hold off on !voting for now.

My threshold for significant coverage will be "Can I write 50 words about Owiredu using this source?" Per the WP:SIZERULE, we should try to get stubs over 150 words. And I look for three reliable sources as a minimum unless there are two extraordinary sources. So 50 words per source.
Source assessment table prepared by [[User:PrinceTortoise]]
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
Three stepping down as EVP sources No These seem like press releases. Several different publications have very similar wording but conflicting or absent indications of the original source. Yes Myjoyonline is the second-most trusted new website in Ghana, and there is no reason a press release would be wrong in this case. No The source does not discuss the subject in detail. ✘ No
Modern Ghana "GCB Board Chairman Accused" Yes Expresses criticisms, so probably not a press release. Yes Claims editorial oversight, cites the Daily Guide as its source. No Can't contribute as a unique source because it is based on the Daily Guide article. ✘ No
Daily Guide "GCB Board Chairman Hot" Yes Expresses criticisms, so probably not a press release. Yes Major newspaper, so hopefully reliable. Yes The article discusses the subject directly, especially towards the end, and with sufficient detail. ✔ Yes
Business Ghana "Accra Mining Network honours Daniel Owiredu" but see [155] for more information on source No Probably not if Accra Mining also published it. Yes If it's not independent, then it would be strange if it were unreliable. No Not enough encyclopedic information. ✘ No
Ghana Web "Daniel Owiredu is the mining personality of the Year 2017" Yes Claims that a journalist wrote this, no evidence of being a press release. Yes reliable enough on uncontroversial topics Yes The article discusses the subject directly and in detail. ✔ Yes
Modern Ghana "Owiredu appointed MD of AGC" Yes Cites Graphic, though I can't find the original source. Yes Claims editorial oversight, and assuming "Graphic" refers to the Daily Graphic, reliable Yes The article discusses the subject directly and in detail. ✔ Yes
My Joy Online "Daniel Owiredu promoted to EVP/COO of Golden Star" No Identical promotional articles are found all over the internet. Yes second-most trusted news website in Ghana No Not enough encyclopedic information. ✘ No

Objecting to deletion, there are citations, and this information doesn't appear available elsewhere on Wikipedia and it provides valuable information, I'm not sure why this should be deleted
— User:97.176.15.217 22:41, 31 October 2024

But "valuable information" and "not available elsewhere" are not valid justifications for collections of data, especially a year-by-year breakdown over an entire century that does not include all companies. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is incredibly valuable information. Effort should be made to improve and expand.
The table format is hard to use. It should be reformatted into a table of year and manufacturer.
If the decision is made to delete the date, it would be valuable to reallocate to pages for each manufacturer.
As a historical reference, it serves a valuable role for research and education. Ed Tate (talk) 21:05, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails notability, he probably won some youth medals but achieved nothing in major events in senior level. The article claims he won two silver at 2012 and 2013 Asian Senior Championship but that's not correct and he never even made it to those competitions.

Fails notability. just being a coach in youth level in a non-Olympic sport is far from being notable. this looks like WP:COI. Sports2021 (talk) 01:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete None of the coverage is significant and independent. All of the references mention him as coach of national youth teams but only in the context of the team preparing for competitions, him announcing results, or competitors being invited to training camps. He is either being interviewed or mentioned in one sentence as the national junior team coach. That doesn't show WP notability. Papaursa (talk) 17:40, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any extended discussion of this living person, or any distinction making her automatically notable. Databases record her having had a professional beach volleyball career; she has appeared once or twice in Playboy publications/websites; she ran for local office once. I reduced the article in this edit, removing some poor sources (a magazine search, a Getty images search, a brief TV segment via YouTube) and some unreferenced personal information, but I conclude that notability can't be demonstrated.

The sources fail WP: GNG or the criteria for WP:ANYBIO. Most of the sources are either promotional and puff piece like this or article about his foundation like [157]. I also spotted PR sources farming here. This source and this source are two promotional pieces published on the same day with same contents but on two different news media. Same goes with this this and this. Same contents but different dates on two different news media. It is also interesting to know that 77 percent of all the sources used (7 out of 9) were published in July, 2024. 57 percent out of the 77% (4 sources) were published in one day.

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 00:52, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable attorney, fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Every source in the article is either primarily about a client or is a primary source, with the only other source being a local news article about the foundation of a law firm (link). WP:BEFORE search yields the sources used in the article or gossip about an unrelated person with a similar name. Waddles 🗩 🖉 00:26, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
