I can't see how this ill-written bit of corporate spam meets our notability requirements for companies. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:16, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

- Keep. The text seems neutral and the references seem adequate. The fact that an article describes a commercial service does not make it spam. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:57, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- I hate it when people nominate an article for deletion and then contest every keep reason, however reasonable – so I try to avoid doing it myself. I'm going to make an exception here: Eastmain, would you care to address the rationale for deletion, that the page does not meet our notability requirements for companies? Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:19, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- The in-depth reviews by reliable sources such as MacUpdate and PCMAG establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:51, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:MILL and WP:NOTDIR. There is nothing about this company or their article, beyond the basic concept of a VPN, that is at all either technically significant, commercially significant or WP:Notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per Eastmain, the references establish notability. Mosaicberry (talk) 22:51, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: It initially twiggesd my mind ... PureVPN ... I think I've heard of that before (but I could equally be mixed up with something else). It seems to have large market share and has sustained but the choices for the reception section may not be neutral (and they were sloppy, no access date, not archived, url's swapped, one probably non neutral, not sure if the other (CNET) had actually reviewed from using the product rather than taking info from the website). Other reviews techradar 2018, PCmag 2018 comparitech, The Best VPN (2019) (possibly not RS and possibly negative POV) perhaps paint a more balanced picture. So it seems there are about 78 VPN products and we not would expect a wikipedia article for each. That said PureVPN has WP:SUSTAINED, has about 2000 VPN servers (About 3rd or 4th here), and is headquartered in Asia so an article may well be warranted. But it really needs to be beefed with a few more details and WP:NPOV probably needs to be tagged or to be sorted.Djm-leighpark (talk) 12:37, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- So if I'm the world's third or fourth busiest cat shampooer and pig polisher, that passes WP:N? Is this a bye to WP:NOTDIR for the biggest? The biggest three? The biggest seven? Andy Dingley (talk) 13:06, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- I'd say there's a number of factors that count ... but in general bigger is better ... however smaller and innovative qualifies also. What I am sure of is a smaller VPN with a low value article is definitely to be let go. To a degree linux distro's are kind of on the similar basis. I'm currently more concerned about WP:NPOV if this gets kept which it may well do. An enhanced article on this would probably be well worth keeping due to sustained history and various impplications.Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:53, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- Linux distros generally vary in some technical manner, which is at least "encyclopedic", even if not primarily WP:Notable by the necessarily rather arbitrary local rules. We do sometimes lose track of being an encyclopedia (it explains things that are complicated) and become too much of a directory of the "otherwise significant", despite WP:NOTDIR. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:31, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not a VPN geek, but there do appear to be differences in Capabilities etc. And choice of VPN may be important for peoples in Asia / Russia where censorship and Privacy may be an issue. As PureVPN is based from Hong Kong (People's Republic of China) that may have implications long term. Does this article link into these things .... currently no. Could it ... perhaps .... All a bit of a pig really. Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:19, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - Remove from the list of sources all of those that make money from that review and we do not have something that meets WP:CORPDEPTH. Explore the links a little more -- they're affiliate links. That's part of why VPNs and other similar services get so many reviews -- it's not just consumer interest; it's kickbacks. Could they still be neutral reviews? Sure, but how can we tell? If there's an affiliate link in there, I don't think we can consider it independent. Eastmain above specifically referenced MacUpdate and PCMAG. MacUpdate is... far, far, far from acceptable. Far from an "in-depth review from a reliable source," It's basically a copy/pasted list of features from the company itself. PCMag has, bigger than everything else at the top, the logo and three affiliate links. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:29, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 06:16, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete It is an entirely generic business listing, not notable in any manner. scope_creepTalk 22:05, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:MILL. Thanks Rhododendrites for the excellent expose of the poor quality sources. ☆ Bri (talk) 01:19, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- Added after reading more votes: Agree 100% with Andy's comments about "cat shampooer and pig polisher"s, and Pavlor's comment "looks like a cheap ad" (even though the latter voted the other way). ☆ Bri (talk) 23:03, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
- Poladian, Charles (2018-09-06). "PureVPN review: Even limited Netflix access can't save this buggy VPN". Mashable. Archived from the original on 2019-04-22. Retrieved 2019-04-22.
The article contains a list of criticisms about PureVPN in sections titled "Waiting for a connection", "Not so fast", "Netflix works (sort of)", and "privacy concerns".
- Eddy, Max (2017-10-11). "Did PureVPN Cross a Line When It Disclosed User Information? When a VPN hands over user data on a creep, there's a freak out". PC Magazine. Archived from the original on 2019-04-22. Retrieved 2019-04-22.
This article contains commentary about whether PureVPN crossed the line when it gave user data to the FBI. Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Significant coverage notes that "deep coverage" provides "commentary" of the company.
- Nadel, Brian (2017-10-10). "PureVPN Review: Looks Good, Acts Bad". Tom's Guide. Purch Group. Retrieved 2019-04-22.
The article contains a negative review of PureVPN, noting:
Of the VPN services we've reviewed, PureVPN has the largest choice of connection locations, but it doesn't always deliver the data. Despite having widely distributed servers and excellent software, PureVPN delivered far from top-rank performance, and a recently disclosed criminal case makes us wonder how willing PureVPN is to protect customer privacy. Overall, we prefer Private Internet Access.
- Paul, Ian (2017-08-25). "PureVPN review: It works well if you don't mind virtual server locations. PureVPN is a Hong Kong-based VPN that's recently been criticized for using virtual server locations". PC World. Archived from the original on 2019-04-22. Retrieved 2019-04-22.

- Some of the articles such as https://www.pcworld.com/article/3219730/purevpn-vpn-review.html contain Google Ads including those from PureVPN to make money from users accessing their content. I do not think these links make the articles unreliable or non-independent because these ads are selected by Google without input from PureVPN.
I do not consider affiliate links to make a source non-independent. The PCMag article linked by Eastmain (which is different from the one I am linking) notes: "PCMag reviews products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use." The PCMag.com Mission Statement notes: "Editorial reviews and conclusions are crafted without any personal, advertising, marketing or other business considerations."
The negative coverage about PureVPN's slowness, usage of virtual locations, and user privacy concerns clearly demonstrates that it is being critically reviewed and commented on by publications without consideration to revenue from affiliate links.

I do not think these links make the articles unreliable or non-independent because these ads are selected by Google without input from PureVPN.
- Comment on sources - Literally all of the sources above are to reviews (or, in one case, an "opinions" page linking to a review) based on affiliate links. Of course all of the publications talk about being independent. For the sake of argument, let's even give them the benefit of the doubt and say that, against odds, they take a perfectly neutral approach to the review. That doesn't change the fact that the opportunity to build in affiliate links provides motivation for the very initiation of such a review. In other words, while their independence may lead them to review it honestly, that they're reviewing it at all (the most important thing for notability) is tainted by the great likelihood of ulterior motives. It's why VPNs have such an easy time getting so many reviews. Frankly, Cunard, I don't know why you're using your considerable source-finding talents to save an article about something where the most interesting thing we can say about it is "it's subpar." Reaffirming this as a definite delete. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:34, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
- I am supporting retention because PureVPN has received significant coverage in reliable sources, and I do not think affiliate links make the sources non-independent or unusable for notability given that they have provided plenty of negative coverage about the subject. Software review publications like PC Magazine and PC World also have print editions that do not have affiliate links. Software review sites in general have affiliate links because that helps them generate revenue. If they were all excluded, then nearly all reputable review sites would be unusable for establishing notability.
Why am I supporting retention? I believe there is value to the readers in providing an article that summarizes sources explaining how PureVPN is subpar.
- But no version of this article, either now or when it was rather longer at the start of April, has "explained how PureVPN is subpar". Instead it has all been anodyne corporate woffle. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:28, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The article is capable of improvement, it may have been subject to sabotage by a COI editor, when I used a Wikipedia Geolocate from ANI on an IP address that was the VPN offering that caame up as an advertisement (which actually to me immediately means I will always avoid it!). Wish I had more time to tackle it. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:31, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete This article reads like an advertisement, and any references go to reviews, not sources that indicate it is a particularly notable VPN. Having used PureVPN in the past, I can't say I found it particularly different than other VPNs, so I don't think this article has much potential to begin referencing something notable unless something changes about PureVPN. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 12:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment I will review these sources later, but judging by headlines posted by Cunard, these could support notability quite well. Unlike editors above, I find good reviews as an excellent source for software/hardware related Wikipedia articles. However, these sources should be really used in the article, it looks like a cheap ad otherwise (boasting how this VPN is good, when sources have other POV...). Pavlor (talk) 13:01, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Mashable, Tom's Guide, PC Magazine, PC World are good sources showing notability of this product/service. Sources like The Inquirer are pure garbage (written by the company itself...) and should have no place in the article (at least not without proper attribution). If anybody improves (balances) the article by writing anew the entire reception section, I will gladly "vote" keep. However, I will not touch an article created and refbombed as a vehicle for promotion - too new and fresh for my taste (I may change my mind and TNT it myself, if the article is kept). Pavlor (talk) 20:30, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment Call me stupid ... I had not looked carefully at this article ... but the history simply doesn't look consistent. It looks as though the page was recreated on 5 April 2019 and perhaps other history added. There's no sign of the talk page which was deleted in November 2018. I might perform a rescue (and I've really tried to stay away from this one) but I want a clear picture of what has happened. Otherwise this might be off to DRV.Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC) OK I found a history....

- @Justlettersandnumbers ... Can you give an expanded explanation of how this came here and why the talk page was not restored. I apologise I am not on a device I can collate a lot of stuff in one go? Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:41, 26 April 2019 (UTC) Also as far as I can tell Marialinda94 was not informed of the AfD ? Djm-leighpark (talk) 18:54, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Thankyou Justlettersandnumbers for rematerializing the talk page. I can now put a NPOV on the article which I should have done weeks ago .... Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) All of that is correct, Djm-leighpark. It was created, tagged and deleted on 8 February 2017, created again within an hour or so by an obvious UPE editor, deleted as G11 on 21 December 2018, re-created on 5 April 2019. I undeleted the previous history to make it visible; I didn't undelete the previous history of the talk-page as there wasn't one, but have now done so – I'm afraid it adds nothing much to this discussion. The whole history of the article is visible to all, there are no deleted edits. If you have other questions, fire away! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:33, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Good point – the notification went to Mehmood Hanif. Now remedied. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:49, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- I just didn't get all this from your nomination and this has influenced my discussions and I am now feeling a right plonker. At this point I want a relist for due to the irregularities. If closer wishes a keep thats fair enough and if a delete I want a userfication so its me who reworks this back into mainspace ... because it doubtless will be re-appearing one way or another and I'd prefer to neutralize the article (my workload is stacking ...) with its history or it will reappear as PureVPN (software) or something. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 20:21, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment - FYI it seems like there's some disagreement about the extent to which kickbacks via affiliate links should affect our evaluation of the reliability of a source. As such, I've opened a thread at RSN here: Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Reliability_of_sources_that_put_affiliate_links_in_their_reviews. I've not linked in the other direction just to err on the side of caution since I've !voted here. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment There is spreadsheet doing the rounds at the moment which contains roughly the details of 300-500 odd VPN providers and reflects almost exactly what the trade magazines are reporting. Reams and reams of VPN's providers have appeared in the last 10 years and they are the most part, entirely generic. The sources offered by Cunard are generic. They are mix non-RS review's and run of the mill trade affiliate news failing WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH. scope_creepTalk 00:02, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- I admit I´m a little bit puzzled here. Which of the sources Cunard posted are non-RS reviews and which are run of the mill trade affiliate news? I thought webpages in question have editorial oversight, so may qualify as a RS. Pavlor (talk) 06:30, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Hi @Pavlor:} References 1,2 and 4 are reviews. There are always for the most part done by one person. Occasionally, e.g if it a camera, the body will be reviewed by a one person and specialist outfit with the lens, e.g the dxo mark outfit. This is not like that. So for almost all reviews and that is majority are done by one person, which means they are subjective and are non-RS. The last reference originally appeared in The Register, a British outfit. So it is affiliate news. VPN companies are for the most part generic. You can set one up yourself fairly easily and there is not much difference between them. every one of them is using the same four protocols. A large number of them are good, a large number of them are bad. Many hundreds don't keep logs, many hundreds do. The only differentiator is generally how good their support and using real server locations. So there is not much to differentiate them. We should keep the biggest and the best, but for the most part this one is neither. cTalk 07:53, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- @scope_creep from memory of a reference I understand this to be one of the bigger and most sustained ones ... however I would be concerned about best given from appear to be hands on reviews, which is why I've POV'd it. Who would you regard as the bigger ones. There's also appears to be some geographically local popular niche ones, Gom VPN for example. I'd really like this discused at project level I think rather than a drip feed.08:12, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- Your point about reviews is a nonsense. For us, most important is, if the page in question has regular staff, how rigorous is its editorial policy and how perceived is by other sources we consider reliable. We certainly should not care, if subject of the article is the biggest and the best or not, only its coverage in reliable sources matters. We must ask: Are the sources mentioned by Cunard reliable? The answer is yes. Is the coverage broad enough to establish notability of the article subject? This is the very point we should discuss, not some artificial "policy" about VPNs.

- Comment: Due to concerns expressed with regards to retention for articles of this class of product I raised a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing#Retention of VPN Products. Thankyou.
- Delete. Most of the references are to industry-specific publications, so fail WP:AUD. The article itself if just a listing of trivia factoids. For example, "Manual setup installation guides are available on its official Support platform". If somebody felt the need to mention that in an encyclopedia article, that's an indication of just how little there is to say. Most of the rest of the article is generic descriptions common to all VPNs. There's a VPN that provides end-to-end encryption? Really? -- RoySmith (talk) 10:59, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete. NFOOTY is a presumption of notability as part of NSPORTS. The presumption is that players who have played in a fully professional league are notable per GNG. This has been challenged here and not a single source has been presented to indicate that the presumption of GNG is correct. Fenix down (talk) 09:56, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

Article about amateur footballer who made a 3 minute substitute's appearance in the fully-pro Ligue 2 6 years ago. There is plenty of precedent (see e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phakamani Mngadi) for treating a footballer who has played such a minimal amount in a fully-pro league as not satisfying WP:FOOTBALL when the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG as this one does. All online coverage is routine such as database listings and a note about an absence from the squad due to injury. Jogurney (talk) 18:52, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NFOOTY. The list of leagues considered fully professional and thus meeting the notability requirement of the football notability guideline, does not include the belgian 3rd tier nor the belgian 2nd tier. I don't see any indication that this player passes the general notability guideline either.Jacona (talk) 13:18, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete – per SoccerWay, it appears this player's only NFOOTY game is the one sub appearance for 3 minutes. Since then, he has played in non-WP:FPL leagues. Per SW, his appearance on the youth national team was also 3 minutes in duration. I can find no coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Leviv ich 05:41, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete - 3 minutes of play at the edges of NFOOTY 6 years ago. Has since moved to lower leagues - no expectation of future NFOOTY play. Fails GNG per my BEFORE. Icewhiz (talk) 07:25, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

- Keep - I really hope people would stop citing FPL in AfD until this has been evaluated and put into policy. This is a list/essay which is incomplete. It is not policy. Also, some in the list lack sources or are poorly sourced. This issue was brought to my attention when I was participating in another AfD concerning a footballer from Sierra Leone. When I went through the archived source for Sierra Leone, it was evident that the editor who added that source had misinterpreted what the source said. I'm not even a football fan but time after time I have seen some editors cite that list as if it is a policy. Perhaps I should raise this concern over there as well. At the moment, we can only go by our policies set in stone, and as far as I can see, I am inclined to agree with Path slopu.Tamsier (talk) 17:16, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- Are you saying there is a league this player has played in that is fully professional but not listed on FPL? NFooty says "fully professional league" not "league listed on FPL", so I agree that FPL isn't the end of the discussion. If RSes demonstrate that he played in a fully professional league (for more than 3 minutes 6 years ago), that might sway !voters. Leviv ich 17:26, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- In my research, the French media refers to the football leagues below Ligue 2 (e.g., Championnat National and below) as amateur. If you have sources which indicate these leagues are fully-pro, please share them. Jogurney (talk) 20:49, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Must have played for a fully professional club at a national level of the league structure
: Phousseyne Diaby is a player of K.V. Woluwe-Zaventem, his first, only, and current club, which are in the Belgian Third Amateur Division.Must have played in a competitive fixture between two fully professional clubs in a domestic, Continental or Intercontinental club competition
: Phousseyne Diaby has never played in such a fixture.Must have played FIFA recognised senior international football or football at the Olympic games

Article currently has no references. A Google News search turns up only 4 hits, only one of which discusses the festival in any depth (the article at Toronto.com discuses the festival's films, which verifies that it does indeed exist, but if the festival were notable, why aren't there more sources on it?). There doesn't seem to be any published material to support any of the extensive claims made in the article.

- Keep. Yes, this does need additional references — but it's just an old article that was written to old content and sourcing standards, and hasn't been actively improved lately. For a film festival that's been around since 1991, however, a cursory Google News search is not going to be the be-all and end-all of whether or not the referencing exists to repair it with — Google News will only find references published within the last year or two, and will not find anything older, so one also needs to search archival news databases like ProQuest or newspapers.com, as well as books. Google News also does not scrape sources like Playback or the Canadian Journal of Film Studies, both of which have very definitely written about this. And on top of that, even on a Google News search itself, I'm finding a lot more than just four sources — I'm betting that nominator just searched on the exact phrase "Inside Out Film and Video Festival", and didn't try alternate search terms to see if sources like this and this and this wrote about it without actually using its full official name. Four sources? No: fifteen sources and counting, and I ain't even done upgrading it yet. Bearcat (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment The article as written was mostly a copyvio of this page (many academic biographies suffer the problem that there are only so many ways to list the same dry facts, but this was particularly unmodified, down to typos). However, the statements in that biography might add up to a pass of WP:PROF#C3, WP:PROF#C5 and/or WP:PROF#C6, and manually adding up his h-index on the Web of Science gives 34, which is not at all bad for WP:PROF#C1.

Response
Thanks for alerting me that this article really needs further improvement. In response to above comments (Fails WP:NPROF ), I have wrote more contents on the details and significance of Donald C. Chang's pioneer work in spin-echo NMR in detecting cancer and contribution in electroporation and electrofusion. These are influential works at that time. Please take a look if you have time. Of course continuous improvement of this article is needed by different editors (including me). I will try to enrich it further when I have time.
A more specific response to scope_creep's criticism about "Unable to verify via GScholar". It looks that Donald C. Chang did not create a personal profile in the Google Scholar, but if you simply search his name in Google Scholar, you can find many pages of his publication, which should be enough for verification purpose. By the way, a very popular tool for academics to share publications and networking is ResearchGate. He has a score of 39.43, which can serve as a verification if it is needed. --Littleflyingdog (talk) 12:28, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment. There is a couple of pages in Sketches of her majesty's household (1848) but that's about all I could find besides passing mentions. Even that does not discuss the actual role very much; it's more about pay and promotion. Royal Households of the United Kingdom doesn't strike me as a practical merge target, that article is organised by specific royal households, and has little to say on the roles other than the very senior ones. A "list of minor characters" type article is what is needed for a merge target. SpinningSpark 18:00, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
- I think a broader article such as Positions in the British Royal Household or even just British Royal Household would be helpful - at least better than the current plethora of unsourced ministubs.

- Redirect. Previously a redirect to Paladin Group, which has just been moved to Paladin Group (fascist private military contractor) and then converted to a disambiguation page. So we currently have to identical dab pages for very similar terms. I suggest reverting to the Paladin Group redirect, pending possible changes to that page. Can't see any reason to delete outright - Paladin mercenary group doesn't have to be an exact match for anything, just a reasonable thing for people to be looking for.

Article about a person notable only as a mayor of a suburban township, not reliably sourced as having enough media coverage to clear WP:NPOL #2: the only reference present here at all is a single obituary upon his death. As always, the notability test for municipal politicians (even mayors) is not simply the ability to single-source the fact that they existed; it is the ability to write and source a genuinely substantive article about their political impact, and the idea that a mayor whose article isn't doing that still gets an automatic inclusion freebie anyway, just because the town or city eventually surpassed an arbitrary population cutoff, was deprecated years ago as no longer applicable to mayoral notability anymore.

- It's not enough to just say you found some additional references, because (a) anybody could say that about literally any article topic, including total hoaxes, if all they had to do was say it, and (b) not every possible source is a good one. If you expect the existence of other sources to turn the tide in an AFD discussion, you have to show the sources you found, preferably by actually adding them to the article itself but at least by listing some of them here, so that participants can actually evaluate how much difference they do or don't make.

I'm not convinced that the subject satisfies WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. The sources cited are short pieces from minor news outlets and at least one of them (the first) is a press release as opposed to an independent article.

- Keep – Subject has won awards [19] [20], [21], [22] and it's clear to me that these awards are notable enough to meet WP:ANYBIO. In my opinion I feel like Wikipedia is already far too ethnocentric, discounting award nominees from non-Anglophonic countries. Furthermore the subject also "holds the National Honor of the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON)" [23], Vanguard Nigeria is an independent source. Dileshwar Singh Patil (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:24, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- Were awards such as BEFFTA Awards truly notable Wikipedia would probably have articles on them. And I don't see how being an OON establishes notability – the vanguardngr.com page lists 65 OONs for 2013-14, the majority of whom are unlikely to satisfy the notability guidelines here. And while vanguardngr.com is an independent source, the page cited does not provide significant coverage of the subject. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 18:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

- Please explain how the awards mentioned in the article are "well-known and significant" as per WP:ANYBIO.

- Weak Keep I was able to find additional articles, [26] and [27], on Mahmood Ahmadu. Following these I was able to find [28], [29], and [30] on the subject's potential involvement in a scandal. Adding these citations and a section to the current page about this might make the page redeemable according to WP:SIGCOV, but I'm not familiar with the scandal or Nigeria enough to say for certain.

- With regard to the first two links, Business Wire is a press release agency.

The result was no consensus. There are both weak and substantive arguments on either side of this discussion. While the arguments to delete are slightly stronger, the claim that the subject meets NAUTHOR has not been convincingly refuted (as the claims to GNG have been). The discussion has been relisted thrice, so I have no option but to close this as "no consensus", with no prejudice against renomination at any point. Vanamonde (Talk) 21:38, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Not notable. According to her website she is no longer engaged in the practice of psychology, but is apparently looking for work as a director in the film industry. According to her film CV, she has not yet made any notable or even significant films, She never was notable as a psychologist, the only references for this are her own interviews. I cannot confirm Director of Australian Psychological Society, but that seems to be an administrative position, not president of a society. She has published 2 unimportant academic papers in minor journals, and self-published two books. DGG ( talk ) 17:35, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

- Keep The subject's book Breaking the silence : a practical guide for male victims of domestic abuse is held in at least sixty-seven libraries across Australia, see here and here. Self published or not, unworthy books do not get this level of ackowledgement. Passes NAUTHOR. Aoziwe (talk) 11:36, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- If we were discussing the notability of the book then being held in dozens of libraries would be no evidence of notability; there are vast numbers of books that are held in hundreds or thousands of libraries which come nowhere near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. However, even if we were to accept inclusion in dozens of libraries as evidence of notability of the book, that would not establish notability of its author, as notability is not inherited. And finally no, nothing at all in WP:NAUTHOR could possibly be interpreted as meaning that having written a book which is held in dozens of libraries establishes notability, nor does anything in any of the other notability guidelines.

- Delete. Personally I would very much like to see this article kept, because I think that Elizabeth Celi has something to say which deserves to be better known. However, after years of telling new editors that neither I like it nor publicising a point of view is justification for existence of an article, I have to set my own opinion aside. Unfortunately, nothing in the article suggests that she passes any of Wikipedia's notability guidelines; nor does anything in the cited sources (two are her own LinkedIn page and her page on the web site of an organisation she is connected to, one merely includes her name in a list, and all the others do no more than give a few quotes from her); nor does anything else I have been able to find (I searched through the first few dozens of Google hits, and almost all were not independent sources, the very few exceptions being unsuitable for other reasons, such as this Wikipedia article).

- On one hand I agree with you. If we take the relevant NGs on facevalue as they currently stand then, no, the subject is not notable. By consensus, picking a sport article example such as G. Fernando, it is seen that this person satifies WP:NCRICKET/WP:CRIN because they have appeared in one first class match. They essentially completely failed to perform, and are almost absolutely certain never to appear again in any way in WP and their article will remain a micro stub forever. (There are many many more such examples across cricket, football, etc.) The subject in question here, however, is a multiple times author, is sought out for many interviews and panel discussions, and is likely to have future content in WP if the article remains. I am not running an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument here but I am running an OTHERSTUFFEXISTS BY LONGSTANDING AND REVIEWED CONSENSUS argument, based on STUFF which I believe is far far less notable than the subject in question here. Yes the article does need better references, and I suggest there are sufficient to better support the article (accepting though they are barely within current NGs). Regardless of whether we like it or do not like it, surely the fundemental question is "Does it improve the encyclopedia". I believe it does. Surely if we believe there are such grounds, it is up to us to challenge consensus. We need to remember if consensus was followed in regard to encyclopedias, WP would not exist in the first place, and we would not want our own rules to stifle our own evolution - I suggest that this instance lends itself to WP:IAR? Regards. Aoziwe (talk) 11:52, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- THe problem Aoziwe is that if you nominate a cricket article, all the cricket fans turn up together, as a team and insist "we have decided to set the bar low and keep everything", albeit without references to WP:GNG, and then the closing admin goes with who turned up with more friends rather than who made policy-based arguments. And then people don't want the hassle, and it just gets kept. Tony May (talk) 17:09, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

- Comment' In making my nomination here, I was considerably influenced by the factthat her books are self-published. Self published books or a self published writer are notable only in exceptional circumstances (the most common exceptional circumstance at WP are in science-fiction, where major writers sometimes publish this way, and of course this can also be true of alternative or underground literature. But I think just the opposite is true for self-help or popular psychology is just the opposite--self publishing in this field is an admission of either insignificance or publishing for the sake of publicity. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment A search on Ebsco databases shows that she was frequently quoted on the topic of men's mental health in media across Australia from 2008-2016, so I'm not sure that it's true to say "She never was notable as a psychologist". Many of the sources currently in the article quote her on topics related to men's mental health or domestic violence against men - are they what you are referring to when you say "the only references for this are her own interviews", DGG? I would see them as examples of WP:AUTHOR #1 "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors." I do think the article could be improved - having a section called "Public speaker and media commentator" sounds more like promotion of her, than outlining the areas she has worked in and the issues she has highlighted. The articles are not interviews with her - they are articles about the topics noted with quotes from her (and others) as a leader in the field. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:33, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
- Newspapers are not "peers or successors" A mental health practitioner being available for interviews is a part of promoting their business. I assume you are refering to the sources currently in the article.:
- Sydney MorningHerald quotes her as 1 of 4. ABC: one of several people who were quotations .Adeleidenow: t. The Herald cites only her. BrisbaneTimes , one of 3; TheWest, 1 of 4. Some of the othersare actually academic experts who have published in the area, without needing to resort to self-publishing. DGG ( talk ) 16:03, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

The sources used are little more than passing mentions of or limited quotes from Celi, with the exception of http://globalpublishinggroup.com.au/authors/elizabeth-celi/ but that is simply the publisher's profile of one of their authors. If we take that as meeting GNG, we are inviting articles for every author who publishes a book, and that's not how we have defined notability. We also should not confuse a book's notability with that of its author, as it is a principle that notability is not inherited. --RexxS (talk) 18:11, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

On the other hand the Society operates multiple HEIs, many of which are sufficiently notable to have Wikipedia articles themselves.

This survived an AfD 15 years ago based on the usual old arguments that 'it may be important/there may be sources/etc.'. 15 years ago we have higher standards, this is still a jargon-full, nearly unreadable stub copied from some technical documentation, and it fails WP:GNG badly.

The result was delete. This is still not a very clear-cut case even after a DRV and three relists, but the "delete" arguments are more persuasive. I'm disregarding the conflicting views expressed by Djm-leighpark. There is exactly one opinion addressing the issue of third-party sources that is at the core of this AfD, and it's a "weak keep". There are two other "keep"s (and one "delete") that do not address third-party sources and must be given little weight. Everybody else argues that there are no (or not enough) third-party sources. This argument is, as mentioned, barely contested, and therefore remains decisive. Sandstein 17:28, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

All I said is that your argument is clearly a bad one (in fact, it is not an argument at all). I don't think my response to you at any point has been particularly so, nor less courteous than your reply to me. It is was not my intent to offend you, and if you feel offended, I apologize - but it was my intent to point out, inoffensively, that your argument is useless, not backed in any rationale we have (there's no policy, guideline or even an essay I am aware of that states that 'old enough' articles should not be deleted), and results in likely (as I expect this AfD will end up in delete) unnecessary expenditure of time for editors that will be posting here.

- Comment: As best I can tell, none of those hits are actually about the software; they are about other activities, some of which used this software (or something similar to it) in the studies.

- Delete. I've looked further for sources, and please also see my comment above. There just isn't enough software-specific information here. It would perhaps be suitable for merge into an article (or list article) that focuses on similar KDE extensions; many of those individual articles probably do not meet the threshold for notability, either, but as a group of applications would probably cross the notability point.

- Delete. I've looked into the source code on this project and it seems to have stagnated, It may work very well but the toolkit it is using is a full generation behind with no activity in it's repo since 2014. The information is sparse even for a stub class article. I second the merge that User:Risker mentioned. I feel that it would better serve the average Wikipedia user if it was alongside similar software that would provide better context then an almost direct copy paste of it's main web page. On it's own it's notability is questionable, but with similar Software related to it, it's far more relevant. Andrdema (talk) 05:20, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, I can second (third?) that too - with a stress that this is a clear fail of notability, since nobody has yet found a non-WP:PRIMARY (manual) source. This piece of code doesn't seem to have been reviewed or studied in depth, hence, it is not important enough to have a stand-alone article. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 01:56, 27 April 2019 (UTC)
- The relevant criterion is notability, not software development activity. Samsara 14:39, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I think this is notable and could become a proper article. I would highlight the following points:
- The title Kst suggests that this is statistics for KDE, and that seems to have been the idea when it was first created over a decade ago (and, btw, there are also stand-alone binaries for Macos and Windows, so it pretty much runs anywhere). However, the open source statistics market is now strongly dominated by R, which easily exceeds Kst in features. There isn't really any competition in that market any more, but of course, Wikipedia is not concerned merely with the here and now. As Djm-leighpark as well as the software's homepage emphasise, Kst's strengths are in real time visualisation of data. In fact, it may be the leading open source application in this area. This includes uses in electronics, medical devices, and astronomy. More on that below.
- Perhaps one might wonder why there aren't any third party books on Kst. Well, the Canadian Space Agency provided funding to support the creation of what ended up being an almost 300-page manual written at the universities of British Columbia and Toronto. In case this is of interest, the authors are Duncan Hanson, Rick Chern, Philip Rodrigues, Barth Netterfield, Yiwen Mao, and Zongyi Zhang.
- In terms of its connection to astronomy, Kst includes import filters for various formats that are either specific to, or were originally developed in, that field. These include HEALPix, CDF and netDCF, LFIIO, SCUBA and WMAP Time Ordered Data (TOD) files.
- I may write more if I can find the time, but for now, I'd like to note that everyone commenting so far seems to have ignored the existence of the manual, with some even complaining about the absence of such material (e.g. Risker: "There's simply not enough reference material to this particular application"). Samsara 15:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
- Manuals are problematic sources, since generally they are WP:PRIMARY. If manual would be sufficient to make a topic notable, every household appliance would be notable.

- Weak Keep. I've used KST for over a decade, but am not involved in the project. Linux Journal is in depth. The other refs just possibly push this over the line. It definitely shouldn't be deleted - at the very least it should be merged somewhere (KDE? An article on real time plotting?) - as the content does pass WP:V.Icewhiz (talk) 15:48, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- Verifiability is separate from notability. The issue is not whether we can determine KST exists but whether it is notable enough to have an article. A Linux magazine that uses the software to accomplish a tutorial doesn't expressly demonstrate the importance of the software. Put another way: are there interviews with the creators about KST? An article about KST's importance in applications (rather than just examples where it is used?) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 16:34, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

- Keep Sergecross73 I think I have to clarify the mess about the title of the game. Firstly, this game got separate two releases: one on PSVita and PS4 (Fallen Legion: Sins of an Empire and Fallen Legion: Flames of Rebellion, whereas this AfD and article is about is the Vita one) [37] Then, in the same year, these 2 games combined got released on PC as Fallen Legion+ [38] and then on Switch as Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory [39]. Certainly a notable game franchise per WP:GNG in multiple significant coverage in reliable sources where I also found [40] and [41] but it needs to move to Fallen Legion at the very least, as the PSVita version is it's least notable iteration. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 09:00, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

Within each article are dozens of additional links to such lists.

- The claim that her book was "top-ten in India" is dubious. It is based on a single press release with no accompanying figures. No other sources mention it as a best-seller. Even the own Amazon India page has its rank as 54,123 (and 6,712 in its genre). Globally, its numbers are even lower. Also, keep in mind that Amazon does not dominate the book retail space in India (or even the online book retail space). Gamesmaster G-9 (talk) 15:28, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
- I dunno. The source looks okay to me, offhand. It is not just about being "top 10" for an instant, it is about being "top 10" of entire year. And sure, Amazon might or might not be as relatively important in India as it is in the U.S. where you and I other judgmental narrow-minded Americans are making AFD nominations and !voting upon them....but India is HUGE!!!!

- Delete - Subject does not pass WP:GNG. I'm not seeing any significant sources indicating notability about the books. Add this to the fact that there's some obvious COI and possible sock puppetry going on. Wikipedia is not a platform to promote yourself. Skirts89 09:36, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: In reference to the Amazon sales rankings, Amazon chart rankings are not considered to be a sign of notability on Wikipedia. To be honest, it was only in the past few years that bestseller lists were seen as a sign of notability in general - there actually was a fairly lengthy discussion about this at WP:NBOOK and ultimately it was decided that;
- A book's inclusion in a reliable bestseller list is non-trivial treatment if the list is notable or the list is published by a notable media outlet and the list is republished or covered by other reliable sources. Bestseller lists in retailer or e-commerce sources like Amazon or self-published sources like personal websites, blogs, bulletin boards, wikis, and similar media are not considered reliable. Social media review sites like Goodreads and LibraryThing do not qualify for this criterion.
- By extension this also applies to authors the same way that book reviews count towards an author's notability by way of showing that their work is notable. Specifically excluding sites like Amazon from the bestseller list rule was one of the only reasons it was able to be finally added as a sign of notability. (If you're curious, the reasons for this revolved around several issues, one of which is that Amazon rankings can often be manipulated if someone knows how to accomplish this.)

- Keep but move to Feed My Lambs (Christian preschools) and pray for an editor to upgrade the article. As User:Peterkingiron said, it is an active chain of charity pre-schools, a sort of Christian Head Start (program). Disambig is needed because there have been Christian preschools by this name for at least a century, in Britain and various parts of the U.S.. plus other types of Cristian charities use the name.

Totally unreferenced. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement.

- If you mean [43], while this looks mildly reliable (student thesis?), it seems that the software is mentioned only in one single paragraph, which rather fails the 'in-depth' requirement and instead lends itself to be dismissed as a 'passing mention'. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:44, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Much like the now-deleted article Audrey McGinn, this was created as undisclosed paid editing for the California Innocence Project. The article relies primarily on self-published sources such as press releases. While this subject has been cited in some local news articles over the years, it does not met the notability requirement of "significant coverage" in reliable sources. Additionally, the article is clearly a puff-piece with plenty of extraneous detail, written with promotional intent. As another user pointed out, this article is longer than the article we have for Thurgood Marshall. Cosmic Sans (talk) 12:31, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

- Keep WP:ANYBIO Meets WP:GNG. Well sourced as it is. Lubbad85 (talk) 15:15, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
- Keep As Comic Sans points out, I was indeed a paid editor for this article and I originally didn't realize I had to disclose that fact. Comic Sans has not pointed out, however, that, soon after it was pointed out to me that my omission violated Wikipedia’s terms, I acknowledged my error and have revealed on both the article’s talk page and my user page that I was compensated. Furthermore, when Comic Sans proposed this article for deletion, Comic Sans did not notify me, as the creator of the article, on my Talk page as is customary, and seems not to have followed the proper procedures, which is odd for someone who is implicitly criticizing me for not following proper procedures.
- It is furthermore not at all true, as Comic Sans alleges, that the content of the article consists primarily of press releases (though admittedly there should be fewer primary sources), nor that the article is a mere “puff piece.” Cited secondary sources in which Mr. Simpson’s opinions and observations have appeared, or to which he has contributed full interviews, include The Los Angeles Times, SF Gate, KPBS, NBC-TV Los Angeles, ABC-TV, RT, The Sacramento Bee, The Press-Enterprise, The San Bernardino Sun, etc.
- In his print and broadcast media appearances, Mr. Simpson has served as a subject matter expert on at least four topics: a) the death penalty; b) the flawed nature of eyewitness identifications; c) legislation regarding the use of new evidence of innocence; and d) monetary compensation for those who have been exonerated. The links at citations 26, 27, 28 and 50 quote him on various issues relating to the death penalty, and for all of these, he doesn’t discuss any of his own clients, which implies that he was asked to appear as a recognized expert on the topic. He was also allowed to testify as an expert witness at a joint session of the California legislature relating to a proposed death penalty bill (see citation 29). The links at citations 15 and 25 relate to his views on eyewitness identifications. At the links at citations 9 and 21, Simpson comments on laws to make it easier to prove innocence. The links at citations 22, 23 and 38 relate to the issue of compensation for exonerated prisoners.
- Mr. Simpson has also published scholarly articles about these topics (see citations 5, 30 and 31). Finally, Mr. Simpson has been named in the Acknowledgements section of the book Forensic Testimony: Science, Law and Expert Evidence by C. Michael Bowers, and is prominently mentioned in the recently-published book Burned by Pulitzer Prize winner Edward Humes.
- Comic Sans has cited the observation of another Wikipedia editor to the effect that this article is longer than the Wiki article on Thurgood Marshall. (My personal opinion is that the Marshall article is actually much too short, given that jurist’s historical prominence, but I won’t quibble.) The fact that Wikipedia has no single editor-in-chief to decide which articles are to be allowed inclusion, and how long each article ought to be, makes such paradoxes inevitable. And in fact, I agree with Comic Sans that this article is overly long and should be trimmed. But the issue that Comic Sans raises concerning the proper length of the article is utterly irrelevant to the question at hand, which is whether the article ought to exist at all, which it clearly should.

- The nominator is not actually required to notify you of the AfD nomination, so I suggest you withdraw your personal attack on Cosmic Sans. Note that you, as a paid editor, "must respect the volunteer nature of the project and keep discussions concise" (WP:PAYTALK). That's a requirement. Bakazaka (talk) 23:38, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- Bakazaka: The nominator is not actually required to notify the creator of an article of an AfD nomination, true, but as a matter of courtesy this should be done, and was done by the editor who nominated the above-mentioned Audrey McGinn page for deletion. I have tried to keep the discussion as concise as possible. You have not addressed any of my arguments above, which would tend to refute the WP:PROMO argument. And for the record, although I was paid to create the article, I am not being paid to defend it, so on this page I am as much a volunteer editor as Comic Sans or you.

- Comment - You're welcome. I'm going to be looking at potentially nominating all of these COI articles as time goes on. I want to make sure I give each article due consideration before I nominate it for deletion instead of doing them all at once. It could very well be that one of the subjects is notable even if the article was created as part of an undisclosed paid editing project. Cosmic Sans (talk) 14:48, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Comment - To my embarrassment, I must confess that I misread the name of the user "Cosmic Sans" as "Comic Sans," because of the name's similarity to the Comic Sans typeface font. This may be the reason for claims to the effect that I was being disrespectful to volunteer editors, when that was not my intent, and I apologize for the misunderstanding. However, I stand by my earlier arguments in my "Keep" comments, which have yet to be addressed by those editors, including Cosmic Sans, who voted to "Delete." Dylanexpert (talk) 15:34, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- WP:PAYTALK:
Volunteers should be aware that paid editors may be submitting evidence of their talk-page posts to justify their salaries or fees. No editor should be expected to engage in long or repetitive discussions with someone who is being paid to argue with them.

The company does not meet Wikipedia notability standards. They are an obscure company within their field. The article serves as unambiguous advertising or promotion for the company. Additionally, the page is written by numerous dummy accounts from Wiki Professionals, a marketing agency that specializes in writing and managing Wikipedia pages for a fee. They also promote it on their portfolio: https://[wiki professionals company domain]/wiki-portfolio/ The URL for Wiki Professionals has been blacklisted from Wikipedia.

- Delete - So here's the thing: it looks a little notable, based on the sources. However, it is the product of undisclosed paid editing, and does not look to have more than minor changes by anyone else.

- RANT Could people please look at this a bit before commenting??? The book reference is not about the parish; it's about a building they no longer occupy and which was built for someone else. The coverage is routine for a local church. I actually bothered to look at both buildings, the old and the current: the former now houses some independent Baptists, and the latter is a typical small modern church. There is no notability here; it's just another minor Catholic parish. Mangoe (talk) 12:22, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- The book documents that this congregation purchased and occupied for over half a century a church building erected by a different denomination in 1899. Details about the congregation's history, including the buildings it has occupied, are reliably sourced. Notability by no means depends on the historic building, but it is part of the history of the congregation and contributes its mite to the notability of the parish.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:46, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
- No, it really doesn't. Catholic parishes started in the 1960s are a dime a gross, not merely a dozen. Starting out in someone else's old building is not especially odd, and it didn't achieve notice outside the locality. If the building is historic, then write an article on the building, but the parish is just another Catholic parish. Mangoe (talk) 12:04, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

- While I am unable to read the page in question without getting my hands on a physical copy, probing with GBooks seems to say that the parish isn't mentioned at all, and the building gets no more than a very brief listing and not a "discussion". From what I can see, the material in the guide is not enough to write an article on anything it lists, but again (and it is really beginning to irritate me the number of times I'm having to repeat this) this isn't an article about the building, and the parish hasn't occupied it for years, in any case. Notability is not inherited by formerly residing in a (minimally) historic building. Mangoe (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
- Here: is the snippet from the book that I found online" "Across the street the former Jefferson Presbyterian Church (now St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church) (ca. 1900; sw corner of Main and Ivey Sts.) is a shingled Gothic Revival church with corner bell- tower. Nearby the little William B. Austin ..." But the article hardly relies on that alone, there is a good deal of detail in the newspaper articles about the history of the church and its buildings.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:31, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

- they no longer occupy is a canard repeated above more than once. This is an unencyclopaedic argument. Entries do not get deleted from Wikipedia because they no longer are, or because they no longer are there, or because they moved. Albert Einstein is no longer; we still have an entry for him. Berlin's airport Johannisthal Air Field is no longer there at all, but we still have an entry for it. London's main airport moved from Hounslow Aerodrome to Croydon Aerodrome on 28 March 1920, but we still have an entry for Hounslow Aerodrome.

- Technically, it is not a canard that they no longer occupy the building, because it is true that they do not. I have repeated that point because, other than the kind of local media coverage that is typical of any congregation which erects a new building, this is the only claim to notability. But the fact that the parish vacated it and presumably passed it along to the Baptists who now use it emphasizes that the building and the parish are not the same thing, and that an article which isn't about the building is not justified by that former residence. Mangoe (talk) 17:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
- delete since there doesn't seem to be a good merger target. "St. Francis of Rome Catholic Church in Sparta, North Carolina is a mission of St. Francis of Assisi Church", per WP:BRANCH. If the building is notable, then the page should be made about the building, then the church, which moved into it in 1960 be added as a section. Notability does not transfer to the new owner or new tenant from simply becoming the new owner or an occupant of a presumably notable building per WP:INHERITORG. It's described as the only catholic church in that city. Given that it's a city with a 2010 population of 1,611, and declining, this doesn't add to notability.

The county level of political office does not confer an automatic free pass over WP:NPOL — a county freeholder might clear NPOL #2 if they can be referenced to enough reliable source coverage to make them a special case of significantly greater notability than most other county councillors, but a county councillor does not get an automatic inclusion freebie just because her existence is technically verified by a "staff" profile on the council's own self-published website about itself. This is referenced entirely to primary sources, not to any evidence of notability-supporting media coverage, and is at least partially a direct cut-paste copyvio of one of those primary sources anyway — all of which means that nothing here is evidence of notability at all.

- Regarding the extensiveness of coverage - the vast majority of newspapers.com articles on searches of "Pat Hall" focusing on the states he worked during his career are about him or his work, such as the 115 results searching Wyoming between 1961 and 1976"pat+hall"&dr_year=1961-1976&offset=22&p_place=WY. Many of these hits are about his reportage, although none of the magazines he worked at in Wyoming are indexed during that period. During the period 1972-1976 he was primarily not working as a journalist, but as a director of bicentennial celebrations in the Midwest/Mountain West. Here are 83 hits from Wyoming during that period, mostly about that work [45]. A large number of those 83 articles are not merely quotes of Hall, but are discussions of his operations and activities.

- Delete. Neither holding local political office nor being an unsuccessful candidate for higher office constitutes a guaranteed inclusion freebie on Wikipedia, but the article is referenced nowhere close to well enough to get him over the bar. To be considered notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, a person at these levels of political significance would have to either (a) have preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway (e.g. clearing our inclusion criteria in another field of endeavour), or (b) be referenceable to a depth and range and volume of coverage that expanded significantly beyond what's merely expected to exist for all county councillors and all unsuccessful congressional candidates. That's not what these references show, however: four of the five footnotes are primary sources that do not constitute support for notability at all, and the only one that's actual media coverage is a routine obituary in a small community weekly — which is not enough coverage to get somebody over WP:GNG all by itself if he has no notability claims that would pass any SNGs.

- Speedy delete under G12 - it's a straight WP:COPYVIO of the biography on Schultz's own website [46]. Richard3120 (talk) 12:22, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- delete Promotional and WP:COPYVIO for it's cut and paste content from his website. However, looking over the press section of his website, he may genuinely qualify for notability per RS coverage (Keyboard magazine, Playboy.com, etc), but the article needs recreated and resubmitted per wiki standards.

The result was no consensus. This has already been relisted twice and had no further discussion. There's no clear consensus and unfortunately this would be considered a disputed PROD, hence the closure as No Consensus. (non-admin closure) Dusti*Let's talk!* 02:33, 27 April 2019 (UTC)

Actress with little notability. She only seems to have done 2 films so far (I can't find any others that she has been in), as well as a not inherited issue. Wgolf (talk) 00:12, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

- Delete not enough significant roles for notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:01, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. The formerly unreleased film has now been released. https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/news/2019/mar/19/horror-film-gets-a-release-after-12-years-10616.html I think her multiple roles are enough to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 20:33, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Draft as may become notable after the film mentioned above is released, its planned for release later this year and the actress has a leading role but given the previous 12 year delay I don't think its release can be taken for granted so drafting is an option I think is appropriate Atlantic306 (talk) 22:52, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

Minimally sourced article about a film which was still only in the crowdfunding phase as of the last time any source (reliable or otherwise) actually wrote about it. As always, every film that enters the production pipeline does not automatically get an article as soon as just one or two sources verify that the film is planned: most films aren't eligible for articles until we can at least source a confirmed release date, and only select high-profile projects that get a lot more coverage than the norm actually get to have articles any earlier than that, and that's especially true as long as you have to rely entirely on blogs to actually have any sources at all.

- Delete/draftity. WP:TOOSOON. Might be best to draftify this, so the creator can restore this after the film is released if it wins awards/gets more coverage. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 10:26, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
- Delete/draftify. I was going to argue that there's enough coverage to mention this on the other media section for the article on the film itself, however I have two arguments against this. The first is that there's no coverage beyond announcements that funding campaigns were launched. There was some light coverage in 2017 when the first one was launched and some other light coverage when the Kickstarter campaign was launched about a year later to fund more interviews. The second is that the Kickstarter campaign was unsuccessful and they failed to meet their goal, so they didn't get their money. This means that any progress that is being made on the movie will either be halted or slowed dramatically, which will result in it being a very long time before it's completed and released. This in turn means that the documentary's progress will be unlikely to receive coverage in the media. I'm aware that they've started filming, but the coverage just isn't heavy enough to really justify an article at this point in time or really a mention on the main article. I think turning this into a draft is the right option here. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 00:21, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
- Draftify per above. At this stage there simply isn't enough evidence to suggest it is sufficently notable for an article. If it becomes notable later it can be recreated. SSSB (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
