I propose this article be deleted. It does not fit many of Wikipedia's guidelines for a biography. The creator of the page did NOT address issues and continues to include biographical and achievement statements that are NOT found in the low-quality sources being cited and removed warnings about orphan pages and missing information.

Sources are not high-quality secondary sources or are self-published sources. Creator of the page also did not contest the deletion, but rather chose to remove the tag completely without discussion. Once again, I propose a Delete. Lesslikely (talk) 23:09, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the citations to articles that seemed unrelated and will strive to add citations that are more appropriate. Would appreciate any advice to improve the biography Budfawcett (talk) 00:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett The use of references from PubMed and Medline is not a problem when they contain relevant things to be referenced in the article. However, there are several statements on the page that are not referenced by high-quality secondary sources like a high-quality newspaper website or journalistic website. For example, where did the statement about his birthplace come from? Or the statement about him teaching thousands of clinicians with his teaching model? Or the statement about him receiving a reward? There are no high-quality sources for this person. Several of them are faculty pages. It's irrelevant if it's a Harvard faculty page. Until there are high-quality secondary and tertiary sources in the future, this person should not have a Wikipedia page. Every clinician or researcher is not meant to have a Wikipedia page, even if they are from Harvard. Wikipedia pages host biographies if they meet the guidelines for a biography. This page does not. Please see Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary,_secondary_and_tertiary_sources Lesslikely (talk) 00:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Budfawcett Here are several other problematic statements.

"His first book, Why Do I have Thyroid Symptoms When My Lab Tests Are Normal? was published in 2010 and promoted a paradigm shift on how hypothyroidism is managed with diet, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine.[5][6] "

Promotion of Amazon book, and using low-quality sources to promote the idea of a "paradigm shift".

"He was the first author to show the clinical management of hypothyroidism needs to involve an autoimmune approach.[7] "

This is not true. Systematic searches of Medline and several other scientific databases will show research papers discussing the connection between autoimmune disorders and hypothyroidism for several decades.

"Patients suffering from hypothyroid disease who were helped by his book went on to develop two thyroid patient-advocacy organizations, Hey Hashi’s[8] and Hashimoto’s 411.[9]"

"His second book, Why Isn’t My Brain Working?, was published in 2013 and serves as a functional neurochemistry reference for both lay readers and practitioners.[10]"

Again, where is the high-quality secondary evidence for this?

"Kharrazian has developed a clinical model of functional medicine that has been taught to thousands of health care providers throughout the United States and Europe".

This doesn't sound like a neutral objective statement. Where is the evidence for this statement?

"Kharrazian was born in Tehran, Iran in 1974. His family migrated to Del Mar, California in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution. "

No reference from a high-quality secondary, tertiary source.

"He is a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition, a Diplomate of the Board of Nutrition Specialists, a member of the American Society for Nutrition, and a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition."

No indication on the reference for this information. Furthermore, who else would know this? Lesslikely (talk) 01:31, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett Do you have any connection to Datis Kharrazian? If you do, the self-promoting in the article has violated the neutrality of the page. Lesslikely (talk) 01:30, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lesslikey, I will pass on your comments to Dr. Kharrazian to see what can be updated. Budfawcett (talk) 01:44, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I don't think this page can be improved because getting rid of the poor sources isn't enough, there simply aren't any high-quality sources in the first place. I believe a Delete may be the best option. Especially considering that the creator of the page has admitted above to being affiliated with the subject, which has led to favorable, promotional bias in the language of the page. I don't think this is at all appropriate. Wikipedia is not a place for self-promotion. Lesslikely (talk) 06:49, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your information. I'll see if I can improve the sources and the writing. There are many links on the internet. But I'm not sure what wikipedia moderators consider 'high quality' since so many websites are low quality in looks, but high quality in content. Budfawcett (talk) 16:59, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I joined Wikipedia about ten years ago. I object to the deletion of my first published article about Datis Kharrazian accepted by Wikipedia in September 2017. I removed its orphan status a week ago, as suggested by the orphan notice at the top of the page. That notice also included a note that the notice could be removed without explanation if I contested removal of the article. I'm not a professional writer or professional wiki editor, but the 15-sentence article now seems to be neutral and unbiased. If you have suggestions on where to improve this article I would appreciate any feedback. Additional citations will be added as available. Thanks for your continued feedback and improvements to my article. Budfawcett (talk) 18:24, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment striking addition to WikiProject schools. Subject isn't about a school or a founder of a school that would attract a school-related redirect. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:28, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - does not appear to meet WP:NPROF or WP:GNG. @Lesslikely: please note that each user should only make one bolded "keep" or "delete" comment, and as nominator your "delete" is assumed. It would be a good idea for you to remove the boldface or even add <strike> tags around your "delete"s. More info here. --bonadea contributions talk 20:13, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment not that it's going to surprise anyone given all the above but this bozo's apparently advertising for help with stopping the article from being deleted. Nice of him to say he's willing to pay top dollar too, I must say. 185.220.70.168 (talk) 20:46, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I find this highly disturbing and disappointing. It is clear that the author and creator of the page tried to maintain his/her neutrality, but then somehow the subject was immediately informed of the possible impending deletion and is now looking for a way to prevent that by hiring someone to clean up the page. I seriously believe the neutrality of this page is compromised and the creator has a serious conflict of interest here that has biased the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lesslikely (talk • contribs) 21:02, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for calling me a BOZO on wikipedia... Really? I'm not a professional writer or wiki editor, just looking to improve my content on Wikipedia. Budfawcett (talk) 21:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Budfawcett, you are the creator, you are also the subject of the page and have been found to request services to keep your own Wikipedia page. Not every person is meant to have a Wikipedia page. Please check the guidelines for biographies. You also advertise your books throughout and have written several statements with the intention of self-promotion, though they are now deleted because I brought the discussion up. However, there is still a serious lack of any reputable, third-party sources on the page, and it reads like a self-promotion rather than a biography. Several of the references are obscure websites that anyone can edit. Again, there is a conflict of interest here. Lesslikely (talk) 21:26, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Update: The subject of the article has now made the request page for help from a Freelancer on Upwork private. Lesslikely (talk) 21:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, checking on Upwork to see if anyone had any magic bullets, or suggestions. I appreciate everyone's feedback and some of the updates that happened yesterday from WIKI users. I have read both of Dr. Kharrazian's books and some of his research articles. So yes, I'm a fan. I think he is a notable doctor/writer when I compare him to some other doctor/author bios on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, some of the contributors to the talk page might think he is not notable enough for a page, and initially asked for a delete. So let the Wiki admins determine whether he is notable enough, and if any of the talk page followers want to improve the verbiage on the page, or update citations on the page, that would be great. Since I received an inflammatory comment on this public WIKI talk page (I think it's public) from an unidentified user with an iP address (well that's not my cup of tea), I'd rather spend my free time with my kids. I think the page is neutral enough, and more citations can be added as they become available. So my comments will end here. Thanks again. ### Budfawcett (talk) 00:54, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Budfawcett I would advise that you halt editing this page. Please look at your talk page and notice the conflict of interest notice. You have previously stated that you are in touch with Datis Kharrazian. You are also the creator of the page. You also have information about his birth, and several other pieces of information not found in the references cited. Who else would know these things besides Datis himself or someone close to him? Furthermore, you attempted to advertise on UpWork to hire a freelancer to edit this page as to not have your Wikipedia page deleted. It seems abnormal for a "fan" to go out of his/her way, even financially, to keep a Wikipedia page about a person they've read a "few research articles about". Wikipedia editors are not that gullible. Lesslikely (talk) 23:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lesslikely Of course I asked Dr. Kharrazian his birthdate and requested a copyright free photo. If I look at other bios of living persons, how else is it done if the info and photo are not readily available online. There are so many examples of birthdate's that are not cited. I was fishing for free info from Upwork but came up empty. Like many people I googled Wikipedia editors, and Upwork came up. My only intent is to publish a neutral article, and it started with rewriting his online biography which was not neutral. Thanks for assisting in making it better. My intent was never to self-promote for Dr. Kharrazian, just to note his contributions to science, teaching, etc. Budfawcett (talk) 21:08, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lesslikely I have checked my talk page and I have added the connected contributor tag (hopefully) to the correct places. Thanks. Budfawcett (talk) 22:02, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

These same concerns also apply to Ewins' creative partner, article found at:

Timothy Glover (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Not notable under WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Two reliable sources cover solely in the context of being "ascended fanboys" who got noticed for their JW fansite and hired by Universal. No other significant coverage. Otherwise the page, before cleanup, was almost entirely a promotional summary of the sites they created.

On an additional note: the article was moved from draftspace by an account that had been dormant for 10 years, only to come back and begin writing about both Ewins and Glover on Jurassic World articles. RA0808 talkcontribs 21:35, 9 July 2018 (UTC); edited 21:40, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that if the subjects were just "marketers" there would be little reason for a Wikipedia page. However, Trevorrow has publicly stated in a previous tweet that they are "creative consultants". Given they've significantly shaped the Jurassic canon there are grounds to push them as creative writers/Jurassic consultants, given the uniqueness of their roles.

Non-notable award. None of the linked sources seem to discuss the award, and all the other mentions I can find online are Wikipedia and its mirrors or a few small press releases.

  • Merge per EDDY's arguments and the fact that, as indicated by this articles reference list, this subject has been covered in reliable sources and officially-published independent sources. The Delete arguments are invalid because they're saying the topic isn't notable simply because it's only "alleged" to happen and that "this kind of maybe it happened material can be covered by the Led Zep journalists." That doesn't prove anything about how much the topic is being covered in reliable sources. "Laughable that this would be an encyclopedic topic" (a vague WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC argument) also doesn't prove anything about the subject's notability either. Whether an article stays or is deleted depends on reliable coverage of the article, and this subject has that, so there. editorEهեইдအ😎 21:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hammer of the Gods and Stairway to Heaven are about as reliable as The Sun and the National Enquirer, and pitched at about the same level. The best source I have found is this one which suggests the whole thing is .... well, fishy. Mercifully, we don't have an article on Jimmy Page and Satanism. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:04, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I am a hopeless Led Zep geek so of course I am familiar with this story. It will always be a part of the band's folklore but it is an alleged incident that has become legendary after 40 years of people talking about it like it really happened. It does have a seemingly solid source in the book by Stephen Davis, but the only known originator of the legend is Richard Cole whose memory and reliability have been placed in doubt, to put it politely. See the Contributions to published accounts section of Cole's WP article for some sourced interviews on that matter. Back to the shark thing, WP:NOT has multiple guidelines that could be used to strike down this article, including original thought and rumors. Anyone in favor of keeping the article or merging to the band need to show a policy concerning an old rumor becoming legendary enough to keep as a LEGEND rather than as true history. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:30, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually nominating this for a redirect as the subject is not independently notable aside from his work in Editors (band) and most, if not all of the content is covered in the band article and his own article is incredibly poorly sourced, serves as little more than a promotional outlet, trivial nonsense (the entire personal section) and all coverage is almost exclusively about his work in the band. Also per WP:MUSICBIO specifically "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases [...] CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:02, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree the article could be sourced better, but re: the notable artist thing, aside from his work as Druids, he has also produced an album of the band The Spectors, and he has collaborated with Andy Burrows. It does seem like user Chrissymad got a bit triggered by attempts to change the photo on the page, which is in essence just a bit of banter by the way. Also I've never used this part of Wikipedia before so apologies if I'm doing this wrong. User:Hvn42 —Preceding undated comment added 19:13, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose deletion or redirect. Of course I assume good faith on the part of all editors. However, I am uneasy about the nominator's motives timing in this instance. The nomination for deletion or redirect comes almost instantly in the wake of edit warring today in which the nominator was involved, creating the appearance of personal pique. The BLP at issue has been on Wikipedia since August 2006‎. It did not just suddenly become "incredibly poorly sourced … little more than a promotional outlet, trivial nonsense," and there has been no discussion whatever at Talk:Chris Urbanowicz for the past 11 years—which would have afforded interested parties a chance to remedy deficiencies. I urge editors to look objectively at this and not jump to conclusions. KalHolmann (talk) 19:22, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This would be better served at a user page. I'd also caution editors on casting aspersions - TNT 💖 20:07, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • KalHolmann Can you please stop questioning my motives? I nominated it because it did not appear to be notable and was in fact doing so before anyone started edit warring but decided at the time a redirect was plausible given what I cited. I have no ill will toward anyone but my attention was not brought to this until an edit filter was triggered and I reversed the very first edit. Please stop casting aspersions. As far as the talk page- why not discuss it here? I see no evidence that he meets inclusion criteria, as per what I've said. How else do you come across an article you're not looking for other than through the course of doing other work on Wikipedia? I'm not an endless fountain of knowledge that knows everything that has ever existed here, give me a break.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:25, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Chrissymad, I apologize for offending you. But I believe you are not the right person to be nominating this BLP for deletion or redirect at this time, based on today's s contentious edit history of that article. KalHolmann (talk) 19:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @KalHolmann: Excuse me? What history? I removed a copyrighted photo, that is literally it. I've not engaged in any other manner with any user other than explaining copyright issues in my edit summary. How does that exclude me from nominating an article for deletion? Can you please tell me how I am involved aside from removing a photo? CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:32, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Chrissymad, since you mention edit summaries, your first today was straightforward: "Copyvio."
Your next summaries were increasingly testy, culminating in what struck me as an exasperated redirect followed 13 minutes later by nomination for deletion.
"It doesn't matter what the subject wants - we do not allow copyrighted content and it's plainly obvious he did not take the photograph."
"No, it is the photographer who holds the copyright. not the subject. and again, subjects do not dictate what an article contains."
"boldly redirect per WP:MUSICBIO, "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." - the band is notable, he is not, redirect"
"Nominated for deletion; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Urbanowicz."
This may be your idea of an objectively detached Wikipedian going about one's work. My impression differs. KalHolmann (talk) 19:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@KalHolmann: I'll also ask publicly what ulterior motive you are accusing me of having, thanks. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 19:39, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
KalHolmann And you've failed to explain how on earth that makes me involved. Being straightforward is not testy. I could care less about the subject matter. You've also failed to back up your claim that I am somehow involved and have an ulterior motive. If you can't provide it, I'd ask that you kindly redact your false statement as it's irrelevant to this discussion. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:05, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @KalHolmann: For what it's worth, I see no issue with this article being AfD'd by Chrissymad at this time, involved or not. The intention of AfD is to come to a consensus about the fate of this article going forward - whether it be kept, deleted, or another result as appropriate. Consensus about the article is now the important thing, not a discussion about whether it was nominated by the 'right' person. I'm also aware that I was removing the photo in question from the article, as a purely policy-based point of there being no indicated permission from the photographer - noting that the image has now been deleted from Commons for that reasoning too. Let's try and now focus on the article itself, photograph aside. stwalkerster (talk) 19:41, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing any WP:AUTHOR criterion. As always, every writer is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because she and her work exist -- she needs to attain a distinction that passes AUTHOR, and she needs to have the reliable source coverage in media to carry an article. But this is referenced exclusively to her staff profile on the self-published website of her own employer, a Q&A interview in which she's talking about herself rather than being analyzed in the third person by other people, and two blog entries -- which means that exactly zero of these are sources that assist in building notability at all.

All trivial mentions about him in the sources provided and there is no inherent notability in being a General Secretary of the Yuva Sena which is actually the youth wing of the Shiv Sena.

  • Delete. Nothing here passes WP:NPOL, and the sources represent glancing namechecks of his existence in articles about other things rather than coverage that is substantively about him for the purposes of getting over WP:GNG. People do not automatically qualify for Wikipedia articles the moment their name has appeared in newspaper articles — for a source to count as a data point toward getting a person over GNG, he needs to be its core subject and not just namechecked or soundbited in coverage whose core subject is something else.

Notability concerns. Currently an unsourced BLP, but some sources (such as [5]) do exist.

This individual seems to have no independent notability, and is being used as a coatrack for dubious claims of glorious ancestry by the Devereux family. WP:NOTGENEALOGY I have removed a lot of material (see Talk) that is either editorial speculation, not supported by the cited sources, or based on sources that are condemned by modern historians but what is left simply puts the person into their genealogical context: who their father and mother were, who he married, and who his daughter married. There is not a single non-genealogical biographical factoid. Almost all of this material is already found on the page of his father, who is unquestionably notable: Robert II (archbishop of Rouen). Thus I propose that this page be merged into that page. Agricolae (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Nothing shows up in my research about this individual. If there is anything of value not already on his father's page, it can be merged there. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia does not keep articles on people who are just geneological placeholders. We need to show coverage of the people themselves. His daughter Judith d'Évreux and his father were both notable, although I still feel it would be nice to have an article on Judith that gives more dates and better coveras the 14 or so years of her marriage. We need articles that focus on proved facts, not ones that basically exist to back unfounded claims of how later families were closely connected to the Ducal family of Normandy.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:25, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - funtcionally a member of the inner circle or "cabinet" of William the Conquerer. He's notable not because of who he's related to, but because he was influential at a critical time in history. Bearian (talk) 22:17, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • If he was a member of the "inner circle" of William the Conqueror - he'd be mentioned in the biographies of William - he's not in Douglas, he's not in Bates, he's not in Hagger. He's clearly not in the inner circle at all. Searle has barely any mention of William, son of Robert the archbishop and count - and those are entirely related to either Robert's sons as a group or to William's marriage. It's worth noting that Searle is not convinced that the daughters (she lists two) ascribed to William and Hawise wasn't actually from Hawise's first marriage. There is nothing in Searle that makes this William as a member of William the Conqueror's inner circle. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:21, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • He is mentioned in Douglas, page 33, along with the other sons of the Archbishop
      • The Archbishop ". . . took to wife a woman named Herleve, and by her he had three sons, Richard, Ralph de Gace, and William." That is. He existed. We knew that. Not exactly "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources", as dictated by WP:BIO as defining notability. Agricolae (talk) 23:15, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete -- I also initially thought this was about the Domesday tenant in chief, but his article is at William, Count of Evreux, who is the person about whom Bearian is probably thinking. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepGranted this is a difficult individual, and the delete arguments are all valid. He suffers from name overlap with the Count of Evreux, and lack of sources common with all individuals of this period. As noted, what is clear is that his father was critical to control of the duchy at the time. What also is clear is that the Archbishop acted through his sons, and that Norman politics at the time was dependent on relationship. William d'Evreux was among William the Conqueror's closest relatives. Furthermore, his status as a prominent member of the Norman aristocracy is supported by the story of his daughter' high status preventing her marriage to Roger of Sicily. Granted, that connection to the later d'Evreux who were part of the Rouen clergy (like the Archbishop) is not possible to definitely connect, but they do suggest that this family held a position in what has been termed the proto-Exchequer in Normandy. Furthermore the later d'Evreux held lands in the region of the family adjacent to William d'Evreux's siblings, particularly the Sire de Gace. Arcussenilis - Talk 12:31, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You should have stopped with 'the delete arguments are all valid.' The delete arguments are that he fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO, that he has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. That is all that needs to be said. Instead you try to deduce notability based on violations of NOTINHERITED, SYNTH, and some stuff that is completely made up. If you have to deduce notability because you don't have sources to demonstrate notability, the person isn't notable. (I mean really - 'there is no evidence of any relationship whatsoever, but a bunch of people coming from the same town served a later king, so this man must be notable'? What kind of argument is that?). Oh, and before another person argues that he was related to William the C so he must have been in his inner circle, they really ought to take a look at Robert de Torigny and some of the other chroniclers, who name large networks of relatives of Duke William, the descendants of Richard I's bastards, the descendants of Gunnor's siblings and nieces. the descendants of Richard I's half-brother, Robert's half-brothers, William's own half-brothers, his mother's kin, plus a bunch that are just called his relatives without further information - dozens and dozens of people, enough to fill an inner circle and an outer circle and still have some relatives left over to be completely outside the circle. This is not a valid argument. Agricolae (talk) 20:50, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The fact is, there is nothing here worth merging, as all we know about him is that he was son of Robert and father of Judith, and that is already summarized on Robert's and Judith's pages. I have struck my original recommendation and now will say Delete along with the others voting against keeping it. I originally thought preserving a redirect would be useful, but now I think most people searching for this name want someone else anyhow. It would be useful, after deleting, to then create a disambiguation page under this namespace with two entries, one pointing to William, Count of Evreux, and a second listing this man and pointing to either Archbishop Robert's page, or that of his daughter Judith.

Promotional article of an apparently self-published author who may not meet wikipedia's standards of notability for authors. Many of details in the article are misleading/false (eg, claim that Penguin Publishers included subject's story in an anthology), non-noteworthy (eg, the listed awards), or unsupported by secondary sources (eg, most of the biographical details).

Article was created by an editor (and their sock accounts) with apparent conflict of interest, and after their submitted draft was reviewed and rejected by five independent reviewers, the draft's creator simply reviewed, accepted and moved their own submission to mainspace.

  • Delete primarily per nom. I'm inclined to argue that this individual, at this time, fails to pass WP:AUTHOR primarily due to their lack of reference and mention in WP:RS. From the page's 23 listed references, I was able to find only two thid-party mentions, one regarding weight loss and largely unrelated to the author career (here) and another discussing a brief 2013 interview by The Hindu, (here). Per the listings at WP:AUTHOR, this subject fails to meet the criterion, The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work, as well as The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. --HunterM267 talk 17:29, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the article. Decision based on the fact that said author has noted as a public literary figure. He been a guest speaker at MICA Ahmedabad and IIT BHU, both institutions of national repute in India. He has also served as co-editor for the book 21 Things About Romance, in which he interviewed 100+ authors, selected 21 authors and recommended their work for inclusion in the anthological opinion book. He has been included to the Forbes Top 100 Celebrities long-list in 2014: http://www.forbesindia.com/printcontent/39097, and has written and directed a national TVC for Amagi Corporation - Video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irebwxOtioY Making of video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSjetN8Ry20. The references included here should not be ignored. This is a notable person and author according to WP:AUTHOR criteria, has never added promotional material to the Wikipedia page, and frankly, the move to delete this page is being seen as deep rooted in racism. I urge you to reconsider and look up the author's accomplishments before making a decision. Requesting you to draw an example from Durjoy Datta's page, who has also been listed on Wikipedia for the same exact reasons. Shomprakash Sinha Roy has worked his way hard after dropping out of college, has never had any form of wealth to support his public relations, never worked with a PR agency, and has been a struggling author who received his due credits starting with the publication of his books.

Non-notable recently established NGO that is using Wikipedia as a means of publicity. Attracted my attention due to recent addition as a "see also" link to irrelevant articles. The organisation itself has no proper coverage in independent, reliable sources - the five sources in the article are either non-independent (the organisation itself, records of its registration in the UK and Cyprus), briefly mention it in the passing or entirely irrelevant. The content itself has a heavy POV and reads very much like an advertorial ("It took the world’s attention..."). Seems like an attempt to establish self-importance by a fringe movement.

I do not think there is a rule about "recently established organisations" in Wikipedia policies. And please clarify what do you mean about "non-independent" since there is a coverage from international magazine in the article. There are a lot of article about the organisation in Europe and Cypriot press. For example, here is a article[1] from a Cypriot news agency about organisation when its invited to general assembly of European Free Alliance, one of the major political party in European Parliament. And it indicates that they are the only organisation from Cyprus invited to the assembly to talk about political situation of Cyprus as well as the attacks happened against Afrika (newspaper). That is normal that Turkish nationalist Wikipedia users or editors will not be happy see this organisation exist and they will try to vandalise the article. But it does not change the fact that this is a known organisation and there will be more article about it since it has a representation in institutions like European Parliament. So that can be better to improve the article instead of deleting because second option looks more like vandalism. best Pasedembo (talk) 20:25, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be clear, this article was not nominated for deletion because it's a recently established organisation (that bit only strengthens my point that this is self-promotion), it was nominated because it does not meet WP:ORGCRIT, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The magazine in the article does not have significant coverage of the subject, it only mentions it in the passing. I had not seen the source that you have provided now, it seems to be based on a statement made by a WUTC representative ("WUTC temsilcisi konuyla ilgili yapıtığı açıklamada" = "the WUTC representative, in his/her statement on the subject..."), which means it is not independent. In any case, this is only a single source, multiple sources are needed, which I have been unable to find. Your aggressive labelling of me only serves to strengthen the idea that the article was written with ideological, not encyclopaedic, concerns in mind. And your claim that this organisation has "representation in the European Parliament" is outright misleading. --GGT (talk) 22:55, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Now it is really not clear why this article was nominated for deletion. Because your arguments were based on few things which is not part of WP:ORGCRIT. Lets have a look at them again here. You words "Non-notable" and "fringe movement" is clearly POV. Wikipedia policies do not allow its editors to delete articles because they think that something is "fringe". And an organisation who has recognition from European Parliament probably makes them notable enough. Also you clearly wrote that "recently established" word which now you are saying that you didn't nominated article because of this reason. Fair enough. But all arguments that you made for the nomination is based on these two POV. There are significant coverage in multiple reliable sources about the organisation and I shared examples. There is only one sentence about "the statement of WUTC representative" and rest of the article is a news report from very respected Cypriot news agency. Many people who will read these entry do not know Turkish, so lets do not manipulate the sources when we share them. I am not gonna get involved in your accusation about "me labelling you". There is not a single letter I wrote is about personally you. So please shows the part that I am labelling you personally about something because now you are accusing me and attacking personally to me. In the end I am repeating that deleting this article will be vandalism and politically oriented because this well-known organisation has coverage enough to suit with the Wikipedia policies. The correct thing will be to improve it. best Pasedembo (talk) 06:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

South Sudanese singer who does not meet the notability requirements for musicians or the general notability criterion. The only claim of importance is that he won "Best music video in 2017". It's not clear what organisation awarded that prize but in any case, the claim seems dubious: the title of the song is not specified, the website of the Juba Monitor (which is the reference cited) does not have any available article using the word "Barbz" and I cannot find any trace on YouTube (or other online video services) of that song. Surely, someone with the means of shooting an award-winning video is capable of posting it online (and would probably do so immediately). Pichpich (talk) 15:25, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete (very weak!) on the basis that the information is a repeat of content already existing on the parent article, although this article is laid out well and makes finding the specific content easier. However, if an article were to exist for this award, you'd surely have to create an article for every other award in a similar manner, thus have everything replicated? It's fair to say the parent article is getting more and more bloated as the years progress, so it may be worth considering if the awards table should be split into separate articles to make it manageable. I could easily be swayed to keep if there is any compelling arguments given, but for now, purely on the basis of repetition, i'll remain in the delete camp.

  • Weak delete. Although the article is in a different layout to that of The British Soap Awards, it still wouldn't be difficult to find all the best actor nominations if that's what you wanted.

History

The origins of the post of lower division clerk can be traced to British Rule in India. In the British Civil Service the lower division reflected a class division. Lower division clerks were not expected to be promoted to the higher divisions, one of many grievances that led them to form a staff association to promote their cause.[1] However, such promotions were not impossible and did sometimes occur under exceptional circumstances. The first clerk to achieve this was Home Office clerk G. H. Tripp in 1884.[2] The implementation of this structure in the Indian Civil Service took the form of lower division clerks being recruited from Indians and all higher posts being filled by Europeans. Even following independence, upper division clerks were employed by direct recruitment rather than internal promotion. It was not until the late 20th century that it became normal for these posts to be filled by promotion from the lower division.[3]

  • Director of the Strategic Studies institute at the Army War College should be enough for WP:MILPERSON criteria 6 and 8 and at least one of his papers was reasonably influential. His predictions and opinions were routinely cited in the press in the 1980s and during the First Gulf War.
  • NOTE: This article was fully protected recently due to persistent disruptive editing. Seraphim System (talk) 15:09, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am looking at the list of qualifications for MILPERSON and the closest qualification I see is #6 "Made a material contribution to military science that is indisputably attributed to them." The article does not currently establish this, so maybe it needs a few more references. HouseOfChange (talk) 15:54, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see why being "Director of the Strategic Studies institute at the Army War College" makes him notable via #6 or #8. This academic rank seems no more intrinsically notable than being Dean of the Faculty at Harvey Mudd or Head of the English Department as ASU. HouseOfChange (talk) 11:40, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's really not comparable. I would say he passes NPROF as a director of a highly regarded, notable academic independent research institute or center (which is not a part of a university) - the Army War College is not a university, its a graduate level program only for military officers who have been selected.Seraphim System (talk) 12:23, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The operative word there is "independent", not "university." The SSI is not independent, it is a subordinate part of the Army War College. So that part of NPROF does not apply to this case. HouseOfChange (talk) 12:50, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Passing MILPERSON-6/8 or NPROF is borderline. I see (manual calculation) a h-index of around 10 and 1 major publication (Interstate alliances: Their reliability and the expansion of war - 166 citations, the rest have 32, 28, 26, 26, 5 less than 20, the rest less than 10). What is of concern here is WP:NFRINGE in regards to his 9/11 and Mossad operation theories - coverage of this seems to be scant and mostly passing (at least in reputable publishing outlets....) - and not in depth - e.g. there is this and on the other hand [12][13] which support this - but there isn't enough in-depth mainstream coverage of this to cover the fringe aspect in a NPOV manner.Icewhiz (talk) 06:44, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What? Nothing in the article is fringe. The unrelated fact that fringe theories can't be covered in an NPOV manner is a tautology, not a ground for deletion. Being Director of the Strategic Studies Institute is definitely enough for MILHIST 8. I don't know the details of his "theories" but given the coverage I have found, I'm inclined to believe that more sources exist about Sabrosky that aren't accessible.Seraphim System (talk) 00:04, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the subject's pre-retirement career at the war college was entirely mainstream and covered in a NPOV manner in the article. However, the subject, following his retirement, is to a large extent known for his 9/11 views - which I do not see how we can cover in a NPOV manner given the lack of reliable in-depth and independent sources on this (see WP:NFRINGE). His prior academic career is borderline - but the NFRINGE issues (which also seem to be causing BLP/vandalism issues on the page) - sets a higher notability bar. Note that fringe theories and promoters can be covered in a NPOV manner (in fact - we have several BLP subjects that are notable just for that) - however to do so requires good independent sourcing.Icewhiz (talk) 09:09, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
NFRINGE is completely irrelevant, this is a BLP. I agree that the 9/11 conspiracy theory issues are contributing to vandalism on the page, but both 9/11 conspiracy theories and BLP are DS areas. If all it takes to get an article deleted is a couple of months of bad behavior we won't have much of an encyclopedia left. That said, I don't particularly mind either way, because it is a minor article and notability is borderline, if it requires this level of policing and attention it probably isn't worth it.Seraphim System (talk) 09:19, 5 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have said about 6 times that the reason you do not find many sources on me is that the Wikipedia collective excludes my middle name. I learned two years ago that using "Alan Sabrosky" misses almost all of my military and government and academic work, but using "Alan Ned Sabrosky" brings all of that up - including a lot of sources. Having said that, I personally think the "Alan Sabrosky" article as it exists should be deleted. notability aside - it is factually inaccurate in several places and a best demeaning. If the Wikipedia editors feel that what comes up on "Alan Ned Sabrosky" merits an article, I would be gratified (and I think what was briefly put up in late May might give some idea of that), but I would rather have nothing than what is there now. Docbrosk1941 (talk) 14:14, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • At least some of the books should pass notability [14] and the academic work has been cited enough to be incorporated into existing articles. That might be another option to preserve notable encyclopedic content and resolve the fringe theory/blp/vandalism issues of this article. Seraphim System (talk) 14:24, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    @Seraphim System: A keep (selective content) but rename to the notable book on alliances would be a good option, and would place the later fringe stuff clearly out of scope. Suggestions on which title?Icewhiz (talk) 16:46, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I'm honestly not sure about the specialized notability criteria in this case, but in practice we usually keep articles about academics where there is significant published discussion of their work; incorporating the middle name as suggested, I see about 3 pages of potentially useful JSTOR hits, including two reviews and a summary of his degrees and the title of his dissertation (predating the Army War College). That plus the number of citations on Google Scholar make me pretty confident I could construct a summary of his book publications from third-party sources, so that box is checked. I did not find independent sources for his birthdate and birthplace; Docbrosk1941's proposed material on the article talk page (very similar to the May 13 version of the article, so much so that I wonder whether there is an official published biography being used as model, but Docbrosk1941's version cites sources) cites a regional Who's Who, but my understanding is that we don't cite Who's Who as sole source for biographical details in a BLP because of its self-sourced nature; in any case I don't believe I have access to it. (Is there a faculty page from any of the teaching/administrative positions, perhaps now only preserved at the Wayback Machine, that might state year and place of birth in addition to attesting to the non-military academic posts?) So the article would be mostly a summary of academic work, which is not unusual for living academics. (We often have to wait for an obituary to fill in biographical details, since newspapers rarely write articles about academics, and I imagine military researchers are all the more likely not to have garnered such coverage. In any event, I didn't find any.) What puts it over the top for me is the ongoing coverage of "Treason, Betrayal and Deceit: The Road to 9/11 and Beyond". True, it's not extended coverage, but it's widespread enough that I believe notability has been achieved. And I agree with Seraphim System that neutral and not excessive coverage of that aspect of his career is possible and that we should therefore seek to give the reader a balanced article rather than deleting it. (I would set to and demonstrate, but the article is full protected. If I have time, I'll draft something in user space.) Yngvadottir (talk) 16:30, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • (EC) Using the new name, the only work by Sabrosky with more than 100 citations in Google Scholar is his book on alliances. Taking a closer look at some of these, I did not find people citing it as influential or important but saw its inclusion in footnotes and citing others who disputed his claims there. I am also not seeing mainstream coverage of the article "Treason, Betrayal, and Deceit" (unless you count a brief mention in Washington Times as mainstream coverage,) just a lot of POV pushers using it to vilify Sabrosky or Israel, based on their POVs. 16:41, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Fair and balanced assessments. Please note I am NOT a retired Marine officer, I did not retire and was never an officer. If anyone does decide to rework (& protect) the article with the extended name, I could email them copies of relevant documentation (e.g., DD214 after 10 years in the Marines, Army War College diploma & Chair info & award at the completion of my service there) - that way you would not have to wait for my obit (which I would like to defer as long as possible).Docbrosk1941 (talk) 17:47, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - addressing re-write - the rewritten article in and of itself is reasonable, however it does not demonstrate that Sabrosky passes the WP:NFRINGE bar. The 9/11 conspiracy theory is covered therein by:
    1. ref13 - Alan Sabrosky himself on Salem-News(!) - not an acceptable source per WP:FRIND.
    2. ref14 - The Forward (a decent source) - that gives Sabrosky 14 words in a list - not INDEPTH.
    3. ref15 - American Free Press (RS?) - gives Sabrosky less than a paragraph - not INDEPTH.
    4. ref16 - Commentary Magazine - give Sabrosky a paragraph and a half - not INDEPTH.
    5. ref17 - ADL - this is an in-depth report by a respected organization, however we often view SPLC/ADL reports as primaryish.
    6. ref18 - JPOST reporting on ADL's report (which is a good sign regarding the ADL's report - it isn't a tree falling in a forest...) - however while Sabrosky is given as an example by JPost - he gets a short paragraph (around 4 lines).
To sum up, while I applaud the quality of Yngvadottir's rewrite, it does not address the NFRINGE issue - A fringe subject (a fringe theory, organization or aspect of a fringe theory) is considered notable enough for a dedicated article if it has been referenced extensively, and in a serious and reliable manner, by major publications that are independent of their promulgators and popularizers.. As for the sources in the rewrite covering his pre-conspiracy career - refs1 to refs12 do not cover Sabrosky himself in depth and independently, but rather are either self-written or cover (or in some cases - just reference) works by Sabrosky. Sabrosky himself does not get an automatic pass via SOLDIER/PROF. I could see how we could write an article on one of Sabrosky's reviewed works (the alliances book) - as it has been reviewed independently.Icewhiz (talk) 06:43, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What WP:NFRINGE bar? - this is a BLP. His work is highly-cited enough to pass NPROF.Seraphim System (talk) 06:52, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
When a BLP is known, to a large extent, as a "conspiracy theorist"(per [15] and several other recent sources - non of which cover him INDEPTH, but do apply the label in their own voice) - NFRINGE is relevant to the BLP. He has a h-index of 10. One fairly well cited work - Interstate alliances: Their reliability and the expansion of war (166 citations per scholar) - the rest being in the 1-30 range of citations - does not pass NPROF.Icewhiz (talk) 09:38, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think votes based on NFRINGE should be deweighted. This is not a standalone article about a fringe theory. In cases where there are likely additional inaccessible sources for a subject that is most likely notable, the usual practice is to keep the articles. This is especially true in the case of notable persons from the 80s or early 90s where additional sources are less likely to be found by searching Google. For a former Director of the Strategic Studies Institute at the US Army War College, there is a high probably that additional sources exist, and also that the Google Scholar citations count is not fully accurate and should not be taken as authoritative. Seraphim System (talk) 15:20, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I also think fiat statements that something fails NPROF or NAUTHOR or NSOLDIER that doesn't give reasons for this or address any of the substantive issues raised during the discussion are unhelpful. All you said it "certainly fails WP:PROF." You should also tell us why you think so. Icewhiz in his above vote also relies on the citation count, but in the discussion above there are other NPROF criteria discussed that neither of you have addressed.Seraphim System (talk) 15:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
ONUS is on those citing the SNG. Sabrosky has no grounds for most SOLDIER criteria, and SOLDIER(8) would be a big stretch for one 100 citation book - note that SOLDIER merely creates a presumption of notability anyway - it is not a SNG. NAUTHOR for one book with a 100 citations? A stretch. NPROF is the only SNG with weight. evaluating NPROF(1) the h-index (weighted per field) is relevant - and 10 wouldn't be a pass. NPROF (2), (3), (4), (7), (8), and (9) are quite clearly not relevant. His academic position is not sufficients for NPROF(5)(6). What we are left with is an individual promoting fringe theories that does not have INDEPTH coverage leading to GNG.Icewhiz (talk) 16:56, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I absolutely disagree about NPROF 6. Director of the SSI is a very important academic position in an institution that is not a University. According to the Library of Congress SSI "publishes national security and strategic research and analysis which serves to influence policy debate and bridge the gap between the military and academia." In fact, other directors of the SSI would pass notability under NPROF 6 also. Seraphim System (talk) 17:04, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not even close. If he held the top level post at the War College it probably would a PROF6 pass. We might have had something to discuss if he were head of SSI (a sub branch of the college). However he did not head the SSI (per SSI - plain director) - he was "director of studies" - someone who answers to the director.Icewhiz (talk) 17:55, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That isn't anywhere in the link you cited. Sabrosky is even cited by David Petraeus. His earlier work was hugely influential - one of his essays from the 1980s was cited by David Petraeus in 2010 (while he was a 4 star general, he became CIA director in 2011) [16]. He still passes NPROF under various criteria. Google Scholar isn't even picking up the Petraeus cite - while Google scholar can be helpful to support notability if the cites are high quality, it shouldn't be relied on for deletion, especially where the subject is most likely notable.Seraphim System (talk) 18:12, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument would be stronger if you brought the sources that you assert support notability to his page, with the passages that show its significance. But it for a single article to establish notability, it would have to have had quite an impact; such as reshaping an entire academic field, or starting something in the real world.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry it was first published in 1986, and then reprinted in 2010 one year before Petraeus became CIA director. This was Petraeus' doctoral dissertation - his ideas of course became quite influential when he was selected to serve as director the the CIA ushering in this COIN business. The cited essay of Sabrosky's is Preparing for Low Intensity Conflict Seraphim System (talk) 19:05, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Is it cited merely, or is there a substantive engagement with Sabrosky's argument in the body of the text, and, of there is, would you be willing to copy paste the material here? I ask because a mere citation in an PhD thesis does not usually mean all that much. This is because in the social sciences in your dissertation you are expected to cite every previous article on the narrow topic you have chosen, significant or not. It's the done thing. It is not at all an indication that the cited papers are individually significant. It is more of an academic exercise, a sort of high-level homework assignment to show that the student has learned to thoroughly search the literature before addressing a topic.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I found a source confirming he was a named chair at the Army War College which I posted below. If there are no objections I'm going to collapse some of this extended discussion to make life easier for the closing admin. Seraphim System (talk) 19:37, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that he Sabrosky either is or used to be a columnist for something called Veterans Today, a FRINGE, hate-site about which a series of Wikipedia pages have been created, and deleted.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Non-notability is not inherited. There are no sources for Veterans Today except one SPLC article. However if you go back to pre-9/11 sources - around the First Gulf War and a bit earlier, most likely additional sources do exist for Sabrosky. Sources from that time period are less likely to be indexed in Google Scholar or found through Google Books or a web search. We don't delete articles about likely notable people because they've written articles for non-notable blog sites. Seraphim System (talk) 16:46, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Why are you refuting things I never suggested? My point is that most of what has been noticed about him in SECONDARY sources is that he is spews hate-speech and is a conspiracy theorist; I mentioned Veterans Today only specifically because being a "columnist" for a FRINGE website does not confer notability, yet this is what comes up in searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We certainly do not keep articles because somebody guesses that more sources exist. I did a little searching in Proquest news archive, what turns up are sources establishing that he is a minor league 9/11 conspiracy theorist. If we keep the article we would have to 1.) rewrite the lede and the text demonstrating that his notablity - such as it is - lies in his status as a conspiracy theorist; and, 2.) find a WP:RS for the statement that he was "Director of Studies of the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute" (it appears to be accurate, but also brief. It would be useful to know the dates of his service in Carlisle.) But being a minor FRINGE theorist doesn't him notable. And I ocntinue to think that he fails WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:01, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fact check He did not "coauthor" the book Prisoners of War?: Nation-States in the Modern Era., as the aritcle states. He was co-editor with Charles S. Gochman of a collection of articles published as a book, which seems to have gotten zero reviews and has been cited only a handful of times. Co-editing such a volume confers little if any notability. Apologizing for the multiple posts, but when someone argues for keeping a bio on someone who looks completely WP:MILL to me I can't help double checking to see if I'm missing something.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:11, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Do you guys not know what SSI is? There is already RS cited for his position as director. WP:MILL is a joke. See the above comment about an essay of Sabrosky's from the 1980's cited by David Petraeus in 2010. Google Scholar isn't even picking it up. Why do you find it so hard to believe that additional sources exist? You should also strike the above BLP violations, they are not ok here just because it is AfD. Seraphim System (talk) 18:19, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If kept, the article would have to be sourced to articles that use the phrasing I use above, including, Oberlin Students Receive Anti-Semitic Email from Self-Proclaimed ‘Truthseeker’, 9/11 Anniversary Sparks New Wave of Anti-Semitic Conspiracy Theories] and similar. The conspiracy theories and hate-speech are the sole aspect of his career that has gotten any attention in WP:RS. Just not enough attention to support an article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:40, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No way, the notability of an article is not determined by some demands that editors make about its content at AfD. Also noting this article was only nominated for AfD after it needed full protection for persistent BLP violations.Seraphim System (talk) 18:47, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He was not director of SSI (yes, I know who they are... And they are fairly small - around 20 faculty) - he was "director of studies" - one of a few "director of" positions that are below the director.Icewhiz (talk) 18:49, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I will futrher note that several bona fida directors of the SSI, including the present one I believe, are redlinked.Icewhiz (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another 1980s source I don't have full access to right now. [17] - Based on what I have found out in a somewhat rushed manner, it seems that Sabrosky was influential in Pentagon policy up to at least around the First Gulf War era. His publication on Low-intensity conflict was cited by David Petraeus in 1986 in paper which was republished in 2010 shortly before Petraeus became CIA Director. Sabrosky is routinely cited in documents that are not indexed by Google Scholar like [18] this DTIC Low Intensity Conflict: A Selected Bibliography in which he is cited twice. I think based on these two additional sources, it is not unlikely that more sources exist and that Sabrosky's work was influential at the policy level. I think we should at least give this article some time before deletion to see what other sources can be found. Seraphim System (talk) 19:21, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Based on the snippet from the Johns Hopkins source he was also a named chair the "General of the Army MacArthur Chair of Research" at the Army War College - there is further content that I don't have full access to right now, but a named chair position should be enough to pass NPROF. Seraphim System (talk) 19:24, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And is the Army War College a "major institution of higher education and research"? This is far from obvious.Icewhiz (talk) 19:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's an accredited institution for graduate level studies, I mistakenly thought it was not a university because at universities college is colloquially used for the undergraduate school. Why would you think it wasn't?Seraphim System (talk) 20:22, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Army War College is one of our great research institutions and graduate faculties - in a limited field, but so are several of our elite post-graduate studies and research schools, such as Rockefeller University. It is an honor to be appointed to attend, and an honor to be invited to teach at Carlisle. There is a "General Douglas MacArthur Chair of Research" at the War College. If Sabrosky held it, he automatically passes WP:PROF. We need a WP:RS.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:23, 2 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I cited the WP:RS above, but here it is again: [19] You can search it for Alan Sabrosky, it's on Page xiii.
Yes, and in several other sources, although the phrasing of the title of that chair does vary. Switching my iVote to Keep as per WP:PROF. He's not the first academic to turn into an advocate for a FRINGE cause. Article will need major revisions for accuracy and to give WP:DUE to the coverage his crackpot 9/11 conspiracy theory advocacy has gotten.E.M.Gregory (talk)

Does not pass notability. Verifiable acting history is three non-starring roles, one of which is in Beyond (2017 TV series), but she is not mentioned in the article about it, and another was only an episode in a series. With such limited roles, there is limited citations in google and in the article. Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 17:13, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Her IMDB[1] says 19 roles. Not sure where "entire acting history is three non-starring roles" is coming from. Also not sure which "article about the film" you are referring to. Her new role is on NBC's new TV show called Manifest which is airing this fall[2]. Also she had a recurring role on CTV's Saving Hope[3]. Some more articles from Google:

Thanks Frayae. Still not quite sure what else is needed to "pass notability". Can you clarify further please? She's also mentioned in the Manifest (TV Series) Wikipedia page. It's just linking to the wrong Parveen Kaur (in the infobox). She's also on the poster for the show. https://411mania.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/NUP_182993_0007-645x370.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrixtonTown (talk • contribs) 1 July 2018 (UTC)

To pass notability requires some reliable sources that have a reasonably long piece of writing about Parveen Kaur herself. Sources that mention she had such and such role in such and such film are not substantial enough to be used to support the article. I also will point out that Imdb itself or materials published by the film companies or their promoters, should not be used as a reliable source because they are not independent. Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 13:21, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Frayae. Still sounds a bit vague to me but here are a few more found doing a quick Google search. Along with the references and links above I can't see how she doesn't pass notability requirements. As well she was a guest on CP24 Breakfast in Toronto: https://www.cp24.com/video?clipId=1178422. It's pretty obvious to me that she's a Canadian actor based in Toronto.

  • Delete. The notability test for an actor or actress is not the number of roles they've had — an actress can be notable for just one role if she got a Canadian Screen Award or Academy Award nomination for it, and an actor can be non-notable for 100 roles if they were all walk-on and bit parts. The notability test for an actress is the amount of reliable source coverage she's received for having acting roles — but BrixtonTown is not providing reliable sources that are substantively about her. Mere casting announcements don't cut it, because any actor who gets any role can always show those; video clips of her being interviewed on CP24 Breakfast don't cut it, because she's speaking about herself rather than being discussed in the third person by people other than her; profiles in directories like IMDb or Northern Stars don't cut it, because every actor who fits the directory's criteria indiscriminately gets a profile; mere mentions of her existence in coverage of the film or TV show she was in don't cut it, because that's not substantively about her; blogs like The Teal Mango don't cut it because they're blogs; marketing profiles on the websites of film festivals her films have appeared at don't cut it, because those are provided by the actress's own PR agent and not written independently. Reliable sourcing is not necessarily the same thing as just any source that verifies that she exists: all possible sources of information do not count equally as builders of notability. Only certain specific kinds of sources, namely media coverage about her, do that, but the ones being shown here aren't the correct kinds. Bearcat (talk) 20:33, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Andrew: By not commenting on the article's content, then: Are you implicitly agreeing on the initial content evaluation (i.e. "so crappy that it's beyond salvation"), hence suggesting to keep the list, but blank it, so to achieve immediate improvement? -- DexterPointy (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep an encyclopedic and policy compliant topic, as demonstratd by the Colonel. As a member of wiki project Breakfast, I couldn't agree less with the view that the article content is low quality. It's a very nice article, I see it's benefited from considerable editing from our founding member, NorthAmerica1000 themselves. I agree with DexterPointy that there is room for improvment, but sadly there are a great many other articles requiring attention. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:46, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comments & Questions :
  • Does "the Colonel" happen to be the nickname of the goldfish hovering over Wikipedia? (I'm obviously referring to the omnipresent goldfish being responsible for demonstrating topics' compliance with Wikipedia policy.)
And then looking into content:
  • First sentence: "This is a list of notable breakfast drinks."
    Notability of list-items, is always determined on a per-list basis. This list makes no attempt on defining what any relevant criterion for notability of items might be.
    So it's not overly surprising to see Champagne being on the list (and Champagne is far from the weirdest item on the list), but it is rather amusing in that the item description include linkage to Champagne breakfast, wherein the lead says "It is a new concept in some countries and is not typical of the role of a breakfast.". - So, Champagne is notable thanks to being atypical.
  • Second sentence: "A drink is a type of liquid which is consumed."
    One glaring missed item on the list is olive oil. It's much less typical than champagne at breakfast, and, by logic extension, therefore much more notable. - If you really believe it to be a nice article of high quality, then it's kind of embarrassing that olive oil isn't there at all, when it clearly should be listed at, or near, the very top.

The Colonel is Andrew D, one of Wikipedia's most scholarly editors. As to your other points, while your various leaps of logic are enjoyable to read, and not without virtuoso qualities, I don't find them entirely convincing I'm afraid. I don't think it would be fair to the closing admin to get into an extended debate on these matters. If however the article survives AfD and you were to raise your concerns on the article's talk page, I'd say there's a reasonable chance myself or another WikiProject Breakfast member would be happy to discuss. FeydHuxtable (talk) 23:29, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@FeydHuxtable: I don't see how a viable definition of "notable breakfast drink" can be created, and thus no realistic path to ever making this list into something which satisfy WP's quest for quality. I can think of no reasonable definition of "notable breakfast drink", except definitions requiring data, which either does not exist or involves a substantial element of processing (which unfortunately violates WP's prohibition against original research).
Somewhat unrelated, based on the attitude of your verbiage this far, I'd also like to draw your attention to WP:OWN, and in particular: "No one, no matter how skilled, or how high-standing in the community, has the right to act as though they are the owner of a particular page." -- DexterPointy (talk) 14:55, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedians generally consider something as 'noteable' if it receives coverage in reliable sources. (Often an even tighter definition is used as given in WP:GNG, though as per WP:LISTN, list items don't have to be individually noteable, so we don't have to apply the strict sense of the word.) Essentially, "notable breakfast drink" would seem to mean a drink that gets coverage in WP:RS as a beverage consumed at breakfast. I'd say this is already the working definition that's been used by the editors who built up the article. One could argue the definition is imperfect, and I'd agree, but I don't see it as a good use of time to refine it further right now. Maybe this would be something to re-visit if ever the list is expanded so much it becomes difficult to navigate. FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails Wikipedia:Notability guidelines. I cannot see what is remotely significant about this subject. Being part of the production crew on two of the Superman movies is not enough to warrant an article of his own. The only other film he appears to have had any other (minor) involvement in (decades later) is a 20-minute short, which only has seven reviews on imdb. The communications firm he founded is not notable, and appears to have shut down over ten years ago. Nothing else he has done makes him notable in any way. Being on various boards/ singing in choirs sounds more like a hobby than a sign of notability. This content would be more appropriate on LinkedIn. Andromer (talk) 11:46, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This business apparently does not satisfy our new and improved notability requirements for companies, and probably didn't meet the old ones either. It carries on the routine business of art dealing, showing works of art in the hope of selling some of them. Some of these works are by notable artists, and so may receive some press coverage, in which there may be some passing mention of the gallery. But a business does not become notable because it works on notable jobs or because it sells notable products – a car dealer does not become notable because he sells well-known brands of car, a butcher's shop does not become notable because it sells a famous kind of meat, a second-hand charity shop does not become notable because it sells clothes made by famous companies, a plumber does not become notable because he works on a famous building. I tried to rewrite this article, but couldn't find enough in-depth coverage in independent reliable sources to say anything much about it. Even the South China Morning Post article, which is specifically about the gallery, has very little solid information. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:32, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Let's look at the available online sources
    [29] Mostly quotes from Pascal de Sarthe, referring to opening of Hong Kong location.
    [30] cites the place of publication of an exhibition catalogue of Marie Raymond to show that the Gallery had a location in San Francisco.
    [31] does verify that de Sarthe participated in Art Silicon Valley San Francisco (not a notable art fair), with the artists mentioned, some who are indeed very notable but not typically represented by de Sarthe, like Robert Indiana (Paul Kasmin Gallery), Yayoi Kusama (Gagosian Gallery) and Bernar Venet (Paul Kasmin).
    [32] Is used to show that the gallery participated in the Art Basel Hong Kong art fair quotes Pascal de Sarthe as saying "We did very well last year, and it was repeated this year", "We have seen a lot of money coming to the art market" and "Chinese investors and collectors understand that art is a tangible asset." (Note that ABHK had 231 exhibitors in 2105, 239 in 2016, 241 in 2017 and 248 in 2018. Calling that "hundreds" to trivialize inclusion in the selection is not NPOV). But the information provided her is useless, and we already have a list of participants. I'm not convinced that participating in ABHK is even of sufficient encyclopedic interest to merit mention in the article.
    [33] I don't have a subscription to Barron's. The title indicates that the article is not primarily about de Sarthe.
    [34] This article discusses and contextualizes the selection of de Sarthe and is a good example of independent reporting and analysis. This isn't just the gallery talking about itself. Interestingly, it shows that de Sarthe particpated in the 2014 edition of ABHK, the so the statement that it supports is incorrect.
    [35] Not independent, just the gallery talking about itself.
    In summary, I see one source that I think is any good, but it fails to provide enough information to create a comprehensive article. I'm not exactly overwhelmed by an abundance of great coverage, and even less impressed by the disgraceful involvement of paid editors. It's pathetic for a supposedly serious gallery to lower itself to hiring a paid hack to get an entry in an encyclopedia. Until we get better sources: delete, without prejudice to recreation by an unconnected editor once those sources emerge. Vexations (talk) 21:26, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete : The subject lacks sufficiently convincing evidence of independent notability. The fact that the gallery is employing a paid contributor (notice I did not say "professional editor") lends more weight to the deletion argument. I mean, the article is keeling over as it is, yet aren't paid editors supposedly niftier than us plebeians?-The Gnome (talk) 13:48, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

      The article notes:

      Pascal de Sarthe, who has been dealing in Zao works for about 15 years, had to ask longtime clients for loans to cobble together 10 Zao paintings for the debut of his new gallery, de Sarthe Fine Art, in Hong Kong last month. The night before the opening, only three were left unsold.

      Mr. de Sarthe, a French-born dealer who was based in the United States before his recent move to Asia. ... The show, “Zao Wou-ki Paintings: 1950s-1960s,” will be on view at the gallery through April 29.

      ...

      The de Sarthe show tracks Mr. Zao’s evolution through the 1950s and ’60s. Two of the earlier pieces, “Bateaux au Port” (1952) and “Corrida” (1953), are still clearly figurative, showing the sketched outlines of sailing ships and bullfighting. These are also from Mr. Zao’s “Klee period.”

      ...

      The de Sarthe gallery joins a parade of new foreign-run galleries in Hong Kong’s Central district that specialize in blue-chip modern and contemporary artists. In the last year and a half, Ben Brown of London, Larry Gagosian of New York and Edouard Malingue of Paris have opened galleries. But de Sarthe is the first to open with a significant show by an Asian artist.

      The article notes:

      In 2012, after a long and successful run in first Paris then America as gallerists, Pascal and Sylvie de Sarthe opened a gallery in Hong Kong in Central, motivated by the time they were already spending in Asia for their business. Earlier this year, they moved to a bigger space at Wong Chuk Hang, attracted, as with other galleries which have opened in the area, by the lower rents and the easier access with the opening of the MTR South Island Line at the end of 2016.

      De Sarthe Gallery has, in the past 6 years, solidified their place in the Hong Kong art scene with headlining exhibitions, beginning with ‘Zao Wou-Ki Paintings: 1950s-1960s’, following up with the sophomore show of American artist David LaChapelle, and continuing with other well-received solo as well as group shows, such as ‘Gutai’ and ‘Pioneers of Chinese Modern Paintings in Paris’.

      ...

      De Sarthe Gallery has, through the years, been active in both the secondary and primary market, dealing in works by international modern masters as well as supporting emerging contemporary artists. Pascal’s son, Vincent, has taken up the mantle for the latter in Beijing, running a separate De Sarthe Gallery at Caochangdi, set up in 2014 as a platform for emerging Chinese artists.

      This includes detailed analysis of De Sarthe's history. The article notes that the June 2017 edition of the quarterly publishes an interview with de Sarthe.

      The inaugural exhibition at de Sarthe Beijing is devoted to the work of the Beijing-born multimedia and installation artist Zhou Wendou, who completed advanced studies in fine art at the University of Complutense in Madrid after graduating from the Central Academy of Art and Design in Beijing.

      Top-tier gallery de Sarthe has announced its expansion to Hong Kong’s new up-and-coming art district, Wong Chuk Hang. It will join the area’s 26 other art galleries, including Rossi & Rossi and Pékin Fine Arts.

      With two established branches in Beijing and Hong Kong, gallery owner Pascal de Sarthe has decided to invest in the city’s South Island Cultural District (SICD) “to embrace the energy of the area and open a gallery space that is unrivaled in Hong Kong.” The gallery will move into a much more spacious location inside the Global Trade Square building towards the end of the year, joining Japanese gallery Whitestone.

      Pascal and Sylvie de Sarthe launched de Sarthe Gallery in Paris in 1977 and moved to America in 1981. In 2011 they opened a space in Hong Kong and were recently joined in the business by their son Vincent who is based in Beijing. For Sydney Contemporary de Sarthe will present a group exhibition featuring Gilbert & George, Richard Long, Lin Jingjing, Mariko Mori, Zhao Jinhe, Zhou Wendou, Bernar Venet, and Wang Guofeng.

      Originally founded in Paris in 1997, Hong Kong’s de Sarthe Gallery is an impressive 9,820 sq ft art space that represents and exhibits a diverse spectrum of international artists from important French impressionists to Asian and western contemporary artists, as well as emerging talent. The team at de Sarthe really knows how to utilise the space and present some incredibly innovative exhibitions.

      The 1997 date is a typo. It should be 1977.

      The article notes:

      When de Sarthe Gallery sought a place at Art Basel Hong Kong, they wanted to continue a dialogue that started in the early 20th century between Paris-influenced Chinese artists and their Western abstract counterparts.

      The Ice House Street gallery in Central was keen to show how Western art shaped these Chinese artists who worked in the French capital and inspired a yearning to break away from the old Chinese traditions in their artworks.

      De Sarthe's powerful narrative and historical journey was a perfect fit for judges of the Galleries sector of Art Basel Hong Kong, who looked for thematic presentations on the most important developments from Asia's art scene over the past 100 years. De Sarthe was thus accepted as one of more than 170 galleries featured in the main Galleries section of the fair.

      Here is the article's abstract:

      The article offers information on Carrie Lam who became Hong Kong's first female chief executive, supported by votes from the performing arts and culture subsectors. Topics discussed include role of Home Affairs Bureau in providing funds to art and culture programs for 2017 to 2018, renovation and reopening of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and distribution of grants for artists and nonprofit organizations by the Arts Development Council.

      The article notes:

      New to the area is de Sarthe Gallery, which moved from Central in 2016 and began programming in its new space in 2017. The gallery transformed 929 square meters to resemble an airport terminal in the imagined People's Republic of Dreamland, for "Takeoff" (9/16–10/14), a solo show by Chinese artist Lin Jingjing. Earlier in the year, a rock-climbing wall was installed as part of Andrew Luk's one-week presentation titled "Practice" (9/2–9), concluding the gallery's inaugural artist residency program.

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

    Cunard (talk) 09:05, 24 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How do we justify a gallery's notability? We only have WP:ORG as a guide. And the guideline states that the trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. The guideline goes on to explicitly demand deep or significant coverage which means overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the organization. We do not have this in the links painstakingly (and admirably) gathered by Cunard above. All we have are incidental mentions of the gallery, with almost all the texts being about something else, an artist, the owner, etc.
The NYT archived text "Chinese Master, Modern Brush", for example, refers to artist Zao Wou-Ki.
We have "International art dealers in Asia" published in the "luxury lifestyle" magazine Luxuo, which is a cut-down version of an interview with the owner reading like an infomercial ("the gallery’s pioneering trajectory in presenting trendsetting curatorial ideas and content," etc) more than anything.
Then, there's an interview with Vincent de Sarthe, family member and Beijing gallery director, from a source upon whose Wikireliability I will leave others to decide: "After laying off staff, owner Louise Blouin outsourced editorial content to India but to make it seem as if there were still a 'cosmopolitan' staff, articles were given bylines with generic international names." (Source, but also see Louise Blouin Media#Controversies.) And so on and so forth.

  • Thank you, Vexations and 96.127.242.226, for changing from "delete" to "keep" after I posted the sources.

    Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage says:

    The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Deep or significant coverage provides an overview, description, commentary, survey, study, discussion, analysis, or evaluation of the product, company, or organization. Such coverage provides an organization with a level of attention that extends well beyond brief mentions and routine announcements, and makes it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization.

    The sources I linked above provide "deep coverage" about the subject. They provide analysis of the company. They make "it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization".

    Art+Auction published multiple articles about de Sarthe Gallery that make "it possible to write more than a very brief, incomplete stub about the organization". Here is information closely paraphrased or copied from the articles:

    1. Pascal and Sylvie de Sarthe launched de Sarthe Gallery in Paris in 1977.
    2. In 2011, the de Sarthes moved de Sarthe Gallery to Hong Kong.
    3. de Sarthe Gallery represents international artists with a particular focus on French Impressionism and modern and postwar Chinese painting.
    4. de Sarthe Gallery opened a second outpost at Beijing's Caochangdi gallery district on April 4, 2015.
    5. The Beijing outpost is led by Vincent de Sarthe, Pascal de Sarthe's son.
    6. The Beijing outpost's inaugural show was "Borderless," which featured the work of Beijing-born Zhou Wendou.
    Art+Auction is a reliable source. Its parent company, Louise Blouin Media, has been involved in controversies. From a source quoted above, "After laying off staff, owner Louise Blouin outsourced editorial content to India but to make it seem as if there were still a 'cosmopolitan' staff, articles were given bylines with generic international names." This is not the case for the Art+Auction articles I linked above, which were written by Darryl Wee, Claire Bouchara, and Nicholas Forrest, who are all real people:
    1. From http://artloftasia.com/blog/author/darryl-wee/:

      Darryl Wee is head of visual arts for Asia at BLOUIN ARTINFO. He has previously written about contemporary art for Artforum, Art Asia Pacific, LEAP, Bijutsu Techo, the Japan Times, and the Wall Street Journal, and translated catalogues and essays on Gutai, Makoto Aida, Tadasu Takamine, Koki Tanaka and many other Japanese artists.

    2. According to https://muckrack.com/claire-bouchara/articles, https://www.instagram.com/clairebouchara/, and https://twitter.com/clairebouchara, Claire Bouchara is a digital content manager at Bonhams.
    3. According to https://www.instagram.com/theartmarketeye/, Nicholas Forrest is an art market analyst, art critic, Head of Visual Arts at BLOUIN ARTINFO, and founder of http://www.thealist.art.
    The other controversies at Louise Blouin Media#Controversies about a defamation lawsuit (resolution not included in the article) and the failure to pay former executives and freelancers do not cast into doubt the reliability of Art+Auction's articles.

    The quarterly art magazine Art Republik provides detailed analysis of the gallery. From http://www.heart-media.com/magazines:

    ART REPUBLIK is Singapore’s premier quarterly magazine for the art lover, celebrating the language of art. It aspires to be a platform for artists, curators and critics to express their insights on the world of art. Engaging the art lover in intellectually stimulating dialogues on art, history and popular culture, ART REPUBLIK aims to create meaningful exchanges between established and emerging artists, collectors and the art community. Our sections on the newest art exhibitions and fairs will also showcase the fresh and diverse views of art practitioners in various forms such as architecture, literature, fashion, film, and so forth.

    Here is a quote: "De Sarthe Gallery has, in the past 6 years, solidified their place in the Hong Kong art scene with headlining exhibitions, beginning with ‘Zao Wou-Ki Paintings: 1950s-1960s’, following up with the sophomore show of American artist David LaChapelle, and continuing with other well-received solo as well as group shows, such as ‘Gutai’ and ‘Pioneers of Chinese Modern Paintings in Paris’. The article's author wrote a positive review about the gallery following an interview with de Sarthe. I do not consider this positive review to be an infomercial.

    The New York Times article primarily is about Zao Wou-Ki but it also provides analysis of the gallery that could be used to improve the Wikipedia article. The article notes that Pascal de Sarthe asked clients to give him loans to procure 10 Zao paintings for de Sarthe Gallery's debut in 2011. It notes that the debut show showed Zao's "evolution through the 1950s and ’60s". It provides analysis of the company by saying that de Sarthe Gallery "joins a parade of new foreign-run galleries in Hong Kong’s Central district that specialize in blue-chip modern and contemporary artists" but is different because it is "the first to open with a significant show by an Asian artist".

  • Comment: I've declined the speedy deletion. Strictly speaking, this article isn't a WP:G4 candidate, because the outcome of WP:Articles for deletion/Ammar Campa-Najjar was was WP:REDIRECT to United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2018. Feel free to edit the article, but please do not reinstate the redirect while this discussion is still ongoing. Thank you. Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 09:51, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in California, 2018 per the outcome of the previous AfD and because it is an appropriate outcome for a candidate for the US House. --Enos733 (talk) 15:42, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. As I've had to point out far more often than usual this year given how unusually passionate people are for a midterm year, the fact that some coverage of the candidate exists in a campaign-specific context is not in and of itself a WP:GNG pass for a person notable only as an election candidate — every candidate in every election always gets some campaign-specific coverage, so if "some campaign coverage exists" were all it took to get a candidate over GNG then every candidate would always get over GNG, and our established consensus that candidates are not automatically notable just for being candidates would be inherently unenforceable because every candidate could always claim that same exemption from having to pass NPOL. So making a candidate notable enough for an article on the grounds of the candidacy itself does not just require "show that campaign coverage exists" — it requires "show that so much campaign coverage exists that he's got a credible claim to being a special case over and above most other candidates." But that's not what's being shown here, and neither does the article make any credible case that he would already have been deemed notable for other reasons prior to the candidacy. So it can be recreated if he wins the seat in November, but nothing here is enough to make him already eligible for inclusion today. I will grant that this isn't immediately redirectable on the grounds of the first discussion alone, as the notability claim has changed from "candidate in the primary" to "candidate who won the primary and is going into the general election accordingly" — but the inclusion test for politicians is winning the general election, not just the primary, so that change still isn't enough. Bearcat (talk) 16:48, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • REDIRECT per Bearcat. Just being a candidate does not grant inherent notability and his only claim to notability is his candidacy. Tillerh11 (talk) 18:26, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect and possible speedy redirect - are we going to keep having this be an issue for the rest of the election? SportingFlyer talk 19:03, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have no objection to the redirect, just wanted a consensus behind it for the sake of posterity (and dealing with those that may revert it again). John from Idegon (talk) 21:33, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a page about a straightforwardly notable individual and US political figure. See the national and international media coverage cited on the page, as well as a host of additional material available online and elsewhere to anyone who bothers to look. There is ongoing coverage with growing relevance now that he is a general election candidate, e.g. a recent article discusses him directly alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who also has her own Wikipedia page as an unelected candidate [1]. Similarly, Campa-Najjar's opponent Duncan Hunter had a Wikipedia page even as an unelected candidate [2], even with a dearth of citations to support any notion of exceptional notability. It would be applying a ridiculous double standard to claim that coverage related primarily to a congressional candidacy is irrelevant for one person but sufficient for others. Furthermore, as mentioned in the previous redirecting session before the primary election, some of the media coverage is unrelated to the campaign. Bearcat can italicize every single word of the entire comment, if he likes, but the claims will still not hold any water. Sadly enough, the attempts by some users to rashly delete the page without discussion and then to ignore the evident notability of the subject appear obviously to be motivated by political biases. Wikipedia can and should aim for a higher degree of logic and impartiality. B P G PhD (talk) 03:42, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • Hunter has been a member of congress. THAT makes him notable. As the youngest person ever to run for congress, a notion of notability outside the particular campaign exists for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And of course, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is seldom considered a valid argument at AfD. B P G PhD, the time has come to ask, what is your connection to the subject of the article nominated for deletion here? Are you related to him, are you him or are you employed by him? Are you employed by or otherwise an active member of his campaign committee? Are you contracted to either him, his campaign committee or to his party? If these questions are offensive, I apologize in advance, but they are being asked because your position here seems to be more advocating for him, rather than for his article. Also, the majority of your edits have related in some way or another to this campaign. John from Idegon (talk) 04:09, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

    • No, Duncan Hunter did not get to keep an article in advance of being elected to Congress. Somebody tried, as they always do for candidates, but it got deleted and was then restored after he won and his notability claim had thus changed. Bearcat (talk) 16:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      • Noting that Bearcat's claim regarding Duncan Hunter's Wikipedia entry, though rich in italicization, is contradicted by the historical record, which shows an entry for Hunter from 18:26, 12 June 2008‎ onward. B P G PhD (talk) 05:37, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
        • Oh, ffs. B P G PhD, if you had followed the instructions before posting here, you'd know that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is virtually never a persuasive argument here. But even if it was, compare this, the notability guidelines for politicians in June 2008, to WP:NPOL, the guidelines in effect today for politicians. Under the guidelines in effect THEN, Hunter likely was notable in June 2008. If the events then unfolded now with the same history his article would likely be deleted. It was correctly kept in 2008, and none of that has any relevance to this discussion whatsoever. Because OTHERSTUFF. Care to actually speak to the article at hand? Care to rebutt the below? John from Idegon (talk) 07:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
          • The relevant sentence is completely identical in the two versions you cite: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." B P G PhD (talk) 14:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • If only that coverage existed....there are 0 sources beyond the campaign. Without sources that discuss his life prior to the election, the only thing that can be produced is a campaign ad. John from Idegon (talk) 15:15, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
              • It appears that there is some confusion regarding the notability policy and particularly the phrase "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." John from Idegon writes "there are 0 sources beyond the campaign", but has discussed (below) several of the reliable cited sources that are independent of the subject. "Independent" here clearly refers to sources of news and information that are not controlled or written by the subject. It does not refer to news articles that are not "about" the subject, which would obviously be impossible. B P G PhD (talk) 16:03, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This is based on this revision of the article, the revision immediately preceding B P G PhD's !vote.
    • ref 1 is his website, which could never support notability.
    • refs 2, 3, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 are about his very first campaign for national or state office, an election that he has not won; hence failing WP:NPOL.
    • ref 4 is a tweet by the candidate, lacking both independence and reliability; hence do not support notability in any way.
    • ref 7 is his LinkedIn resume. cannot possibly speak to notability.
    • refs 5, 6, 14 are self written by the candidate - lacks independence and cannot possibly support notability.
    • ref 10 is a YouTube video of the candidate doing a talking head thing - lacks both independence and reliability. No help with notability.
    • ref 16 is clearly stated as an opinion piece, and is only reliable for the fact that it is their opinion and not for any factual content. Very weak support for notability (at best).
    • That leaves us with ref 15, an interview with The Atlantic. As an interview, there is obviously some independence problems. The only thing that can be used to vet notability in an interview is the analysis of the journalist conducting the interview. I am not seeing enough between the two marginally usable sources to support notability, and all the rest of the references say absolutely nothing whatsoever to notability. In short, my nomination stands. John from Idegon (talk) 04:56, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Ammar Campa-Najjar meets WP:GNG due to multiple sources of independent media coverage. This independent media coverage includes international coverage from the Independent, a British publication,[2] as well as several pieces of coverage from national publications that date two years before he announced his candidacy. [3][4][5][6]
  • Comment Getting articles published in The Hill, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and The Washington Post is something that most people cannot claim, and so it is wrong to say it is "no help with notability." Moreover, Campa has at least four pieces of independent media coverage dating two years before he announced his candidacy. See my recent additions and references below. All of this independent media coverage combined - both from before his campaign started and after it - mean that Campa meets WP:GNG. Narayansg (talk) 14:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This subject gained attention due to a submission from him and his band to NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series. The limited press mainly comes from that or as a result of that, but it is still quite limited. Doing a Google search, most of the few sources are from local newspapers, and the YouTube video sourced in the article, although done by a notable music critic, is not a reliable source.

Charting on a Billboard chart in and of itself does not always mean a musician or band is notable. Also, the sources are primarily local (Sacramento) and aside from those I can find no sources from major, non-local news or music outlets. This is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Andise1 (talk) 01:00, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clean up: As above keep said, Johnson's album charted on Billboard's up and coming artists list. Between NPR publicity and the local scene, he meets notability guidelines. I would quibble more about the "local" coverage, but the Bee is the flagship newspaper of a major city and one of the 30th largest papers in the United States. I can't see how a reformat would survive, as Lopes is the only notable member of the group. Still, the article is a mess and needs to be cleaned.

I do not believe this subject is notable enough for Wikipedia at the moment. I see the sources in reliable publications, however:

- I am unsure how reliable the publication used for the first and third source is. - The second source is about the family vlog channel she is a part of (should there be an article on the whole family instead?) - The fourth source mentions the subject briefly in passing, but also mentions the family vlog channel. - Sources 6, 7, and 8 are more about the shows themselves, which could be used if the shows were notable, but I question whether they should be used here (since they are a legitimate source, but do not really cover the subject much) - Some of the other sources are either not really sources (Billboard,iTunes Chart) while others, such as the Shorty Award sources, are from questionable publications.

In the article, some sentences seem unnecessary, a fan's words, or promotional:

"After it was speculated that LeBlanc was dating fellow social media star Hayden Summerall in 2017, the alleged couple was dubbed "Hannie" by fans, who created elaborate fan-fiction with complex storylines about their high school relationship, and photoshopped thousands of pictures that appear to show the two together."

Also, the mentions of views on the web series and songs seem promotional to me.

I think there is a case for articles on the web series she is in, or the production company behind the web series, but I am not sure if the subject is entirely notable at the moment (although I may be wrong, we will see). Andise1 (talk) 02:56, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note- Not sure what the relevance is of the response above. That is already mentioned in the article. The fact that her song was a cover does not change the fact that her version charted. LeBlanc was nominated at the Streamy Awards in 2017 in addition to the 2018 Shorty Awards. Both of these awards are Wikinotable. Thsmi002 (talk) 11:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Time magazine says "Brat, which works on small budgets relative to Hollywood, has one certified hit in Chicken Girls, starring Annie LeBlanc and Hayden Summerall. The franchise’s debut episode has more than 10 million views, and it secured a movie deal with Lionsgate." [43] So she is staring on a hit show. And if any of her song's charted, be they original or a cover, then that counts towards her notability. She is also on the cover of Girls' Life (magazine) and they of course interviewed her as well.

The article could be improved by covering how it is part of split of conservatives, perhaps within split covered by this 2008 New York Times article (which does not mention Raleigh). To build a new big church in a downtown is pretty unusual. Why this happened deserves more explanation in the article. The News & Observer article gives brief treatment that could be used, about it starting from 200 members of other church that did not like how liberal it was. --Doncram (talk) 21:20, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment At the very least, this should be redirected to Soapy Smith rather than deleted. Undecided on notability for now, but would be opposed to outright deletion. Smartyllama (talk) 10:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep Further proving that it's a waste of time to come here to build an encyclopedia when others are only interested in tearing it down. Per Piledhigheranddeeper, this is a perfectly legitimate example of content forking. There's quite a few contemporary sources present in the article, plus a decent number of respectable retrospective sources. As referred to in the talk page, Stan Patty's book Fearless Men and Fabulous Women, published in 2004, devotes a chapter to this episode in history. Patty spent 34 years at the Seattle Times as their resident Alaska expert. What little has been published about Tanner's life suggests that he was highly respected as a figure in law enforcement and as a community leader in Skagway, including serving as a United States Marshal, based largely on his reputation from this incident. The nominator does not elaborate on the COI they refer to, despite how obvious it is to me. Perhaps WP:COIN would be a better forum-shopping venue? Wikipedia has sadly become a dumping ground for whatever people find lying around the web today. A lack of interest in real research and real sources is the cause of the state of the references found in the article at present. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 01:05, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per RadioKAOS. This was a fairly significant gunfight, involving a fairly well-known scoundrel. Too much to merge back into Soapy's article. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:50, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep After reviewing the evidence, the shootout is clearly notable and it's too much to be merged back. I'm also not seeing a COI - the article creator seems to be pretty interested in Soapy Smith, but that alone does not constitute a COI seeing as we all edit articles about subjects we're interested in. That's not the sense of the word that "interest" is being used in the phrase "Conflict of Interest." And in any case, the article has plenty of other editors too. Smartyllama (talk) 13:16, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I had seen this as so obvious as not to need reiteration, but the articles creator, primary writer, and primary source is a blood relation who sells essentially self-published books on the subject, and has inserted his own judgement over that of disinterested authors. With that sort of thing removed, this might make an extra few sentences in “Soapy Smith” or ”Skagway”. This isn’t an encyclopedia article, it is advertisement for an author, not otherwise published, who has a book about his family...from a publisher with three, count ‘em, three books, two of which are out-of-copyright reprints. If you think this really worth a stand-alone article , then let’s blow up the existing mess that’s in its place. Qwirkle (talk) 14:32, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I count 17 sources in the article from people other than this so-called relative. And Jeff Smith is one of the most common names in America, so I'm not even seeing proof they're all related unless there's something they've explicitly said. Smartyllama (talk) 14:52, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, less than half the sources don’t lead back to COI spam, and you think that is a positive sign?
Given that you have not read the article creator’s talk page, I don’T see how you can have such a strong opinion here about whether there is a COI. Qwirkle (talk) 16:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
17 sources is more than enough to establish GNG. There are plenty of editors who edited the page besides this so-called relative. And most importantly, AFD is not cleanup. So whether someone's related to the subject somehow is really irrelevant to this discussion. Smartyllama (talk) 17:19, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
17 good sources central to the subject might establish notability , but we don’t have that here now. GNG does not, in itself, establish the need for a stand alone article. Finally, “AFD is not cleanup” explicitly notes tht a substantial portion or writers believe that a realllllly bad article, like this one, should simply be deleted. Qwirkle (talk) 18:15, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In other words, it appears that you're attempting to play the same tired old bullshit game often played at AFD of judging the content and sources solely by what's present in the article at this moment and ignoring the advice given at WP:BEFORE. If Wikipedia truly was the collaborative environment it claimed to be, we could have avoided the COI and sourcing issues, not to mention this discussion, a long time ago. Stan Patty was a highly credentialed journalist, with a book published by a reputable publisher (Epicenter Press), which in part discussed this episode well over a century after it happened. The fact that he grew up in Alaska and went on to write extensively about Alaska for many decades may mean that he wasn't a "disinterested author" in the eyes of some, but that's quite a stretch when one considers his credentials. Many of the clearly reliable sources present in the article probably aren't geographically far enough removed for the crowd that are fond of making that argument. You know, the "It's not the New York Times" types. Well, a search of the NYT website shows a piece from 1928 which discusses this episode as part of the greater context of Smith's time in Skagway. Which brings me back to the first part of this particular argument: if reliable sources are still discussing this incident well over a century later, then just how many reliable sources have been published in between which are being ignored here? There are some people who don't wish to acknowledge those sort of sources because they wish to push Wikipedia in the direction of being a compendium of trending topics on the web from one particular day or another within the 21st century. So much for "the sum total of all human knowledge". RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 21:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Summarize then merge: Obviously time was put into this article, but it appears to be based on WP:SYN from primary sources. Unless it can be demonstrated from third-party sources that this topic has any notability, I'm skeptical that we should dedicating space to mention arbitrary projects, let alone their publication history. The crux of the notability argument is that this character is extensively used because it is in the public domain, but that claim is unsourced. Additionally, the title of the article makes it sound like it is the title of a series, but that does not appear to be the case; Unofficial Stardust the Super Wizard comics may be more appropriate, if the article is to remain. —Ost (talk) 18:40, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
