The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Keep has the numerical majority, but the arguments offered for it don't seem especially convincing even after two relists, so I'm going to split the difference on this one. RL0919 (talk) 05:30, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Matchmaker (2018 film)

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

Was deprodded with a rather lengthy rationale (which actually doesn't have a basis in WP guidelines), but no improvements. Winner of some minor awards, but meets neither WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 23:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit disingenuous to ask for edits when the critique is that the subject is a priori not notable. My rationale was this (lengthy or not, it is my rationale and should be considered): "I think you are missing the fact that this is a short film - short film are not generally commercially released, their importance is inherently determined by 1. the festival circuit, 2. awards, 3. the cast and creators. This film has a highly notable cast, won awards, and has notable screenwriter and director, and would/should be listed in their respective filmographies." Um, less than two lines, not so lengthy after all... So let me then go on a bit: Notability guidelines are guidelines, not congressional legislation to be interpreted by the supreme court. There is no claim that the guidelines are exhaustive. They give some firm criteria for inclusion, but no firm criteria for exclusion. A film that won awards, was widely selected by popular film festivals, was made by notable filmmakers, and acted in by notable cast is IMO notable, and if there is any room for doubt it should be decided on in favor of inclusion. It isn't a homemade film or student film or some other negligible work, and moreover, it is very likely that such a unique film on romantic relationships among the elderly will be screened and re-screened over the years, and studied and included in academic research. TMagen (talk) 07:15, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are other ways that notability could be established for a short film - per WP:GNG, if independent reliable publications had written decent reviews of the film, it would certainly be notable. I'm not sure about some of the author's other arguments for notability. Certainly, notability is not inherited - it doesn't matter whether the cast and creators are notable. I don't know how would determine notability from the festival circuit - unless the argument is that every short film screened at a notable film festival is automatically notable, which would also seem to be covered by WP:NINI. That leaves the question of awards - if independent media picked up and reported on the film winning the awards, I'd agree that it made them notable, but I'm not seeing that. I've come down on delete, but could be swayed if anyone can dig up either a couple of proper reviews of the film, or significant coverage of it winning the awards - I looked, but didn't see anything. GirthSummit _(blether) 08:05, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add as an afterthought that TMagen's point about the film being studied and included in academic research would certainly make it notable - as soon as independent sources are written about it, it will pass GNG - but that doesn't appear to have happened yet from what I can see. GirthSummit _(blether) 08:10, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I had to look up the reference to notability being inherited, since I didn't read the justification that way... And it turns out I was probably right, because this was not the argument. The justification, as I see it, is that ALL the makers (writer, director, main cast and others) are notable (not just notable - famous, some described as legendary), making the film one that stands out, not that "if the poet is notable any poem she writes is notable". Also pointing out that the caution linked to in the argument confirms that this is not a content guideline. Similarly, the film festival justification has nothing to do with inheriting from the festival's notability, but rather pointing out that it is an official selection at a rather large number of festivals. That is a testament to notability for a short film. These are not festivals at which directors pay to screen, but rather in which they compete to get selected.

In addition, there are independent sources about this film. No, they aren't the New York Times, but then, that isn't required. I'm sure there are more:

Plus many of the reviews in the film festival context are independent reviews, not just the distributor's blurb. I also agree with TMagen's point about notability guidelines being very clear that they are not comprehensive regarding inclusion, and that the guidelines give examples, and an article can be notable for additional reasons. I think that when a film has this much going for it, it does not fall into any categories of "What Wikipedia is not", and is supported by references, there needs to be a strong reason to delete it, and there isn't one here. Tempest 88 (talk) 12:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I'm not convinced on the strength of those sources - they look like part of the publicity drive for the film.

TV Writer Sy Rosen talks about his short film 'The Matchmaker' - this is an interview with the film's writer - a primary source, and very much part of him 'doing the rounds' and publicising his work.
Comedy short-film premiers in Renton mobile home park This is a report in the local press about a visit by the film's writer, with accompanying screening of the film, to a retirement home. It scarcely mentions the film itself, it's about the visit of a famous person to a local retirement home. Not significant coverage - not really coverage at all.
Alliance of Women Directors This is literally a directory listing for film's director. Not significant, not independent.
Age Friendly Discussion Groups A local free newspaper for the over 55s reporting on its own award. Not that the film won the award - just that there will be a free screening of the film at the awards ceremony. Note - the film's writer also writes a column for this newspaper. Not significant coverage of the film, plus not independent due to the writer's association with the paper.
Television morning show Local TV station interviews film's writer. Primary source, same as the first one.
Sy Rosen Is Coming to Town Local newspaper reports on visit of film's writer (who writes a column for the paper) to the town, including interview with writer and a few paragraphs puffing the film. Not independent, primary.

If any actually independent, secondary sources can be found writing giving this film significant coverage, I genuinely would be willing to change my opinion - I've got no axe to grind against this film. All that I can find, and that has been presented so far, is coverage in very minor local press about the publicity drive for the film - no-one seems even to have written a proper review of it. (I don't consider a blurb connected to the showing times at a film festival to be a proper review - they're selling tickets, so not independent.) I don't need it to be the NYT or LAT, but it has to be actual coverage of the film, written in a paper that isn't associated with the writer of the film, or by a festival which is selling tickets to see it.

At the end of the day, we don't really decide what's notable - independent sources do that, and we follow them. If independent sources haven't written about this, we shouldn't be deciding off our own backs that it's notable, and using a bunch of primary/dependent sources to write an article.

Comment This has been open for a while now, and while I recognise that the nom and I are in a minority here, I just want to point out FWIW that there haven't yet been any actual policy-based arguments in favour of keeping this article, or any independent secondary refs identified that give it significant coverage. I just had another look to see if I could find any that would allow me to change my vote, but I'm still not seeing them. GirthSummit _(blether) 21:47, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recurring enemies in The Legend of Zelda

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

Basically Wikia-cruft level material that as a whole does not satisfy WP:GNG. The majority of the sources are WP:PRIMARY and the secondary ones are from Top-10 lists and the like. Most of the enemies, if they even have a source, only have 1. A lot of the information is also duplicated at Universe of The Legend of Zelda._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:39, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Compare to List of recurring Mario franchise enemies. (I have no opinion on either one of these, but my thoughts in the matter is that one or the other existing provides a WP:OTHERSTUFF issue.) Steel1943 (talk) 23:53, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

List of recurring Mario franchise enemies seems equally as crufty in my opinion, if not moreso. There are virtually no secondary sources commenting on any of the characters, just descriptions like a WP:GAMEGUIDE._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:57, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Zxcvbnm: Feel free to nomination that one too if you desire. However, my concerns with either one of these being deleted is that there will be readers who attempt to look up the characters/enemies listed on these lists, get a WP:REDLINK (since all redirects towards these lists would then be eligible for WP:G8 in theory), and the articles that have been redirected to these lists due to lack of notability as standalone subjects will be recreated, WP:NOTWIKIA or not. These lists existing act as a magnet for their incoming redirects, helping ensure that these independently unnotable subjects do not get recreated again as articles. Steel1943 (talk) 23:59, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Then WP:SALT the character names so they can't be recreated without a draft? In this case that doesn't apply though, since there is still Universe of The Legend of Zelda that everything redirects to._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 00:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That Mario equivalent list is equally bad when it comes to independent notability. It shouldn’t exist either. Sergecross73 msg me 02:51, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not remotely independently notable. Notable game series? Of course. That enemies of it separately notable? Not even close. The Mario variant suffers the same issues. Wikia level stuff. Sergecross73 msg me 01:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge This information is already at Universe_of_The_Legend_of_Zelda#Creatures. Some reliable sources referenced now do mention some of the enemies, but most aren't referenced at all, so probably best to just redirect this to the other article and if anything isn't already there and worth keeping merge it over. Dream Focus 01:29, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The main problem is that the list in Universe of The Legend of Zelda is also cruft and should be excised from the article. So ultimately there would be nowhere to merge that would make any sense since it is unfit for merging. In fact the majority of that article needs a massive cleanup and addition of secondary sources as it predominantly depends on ingame quotes, interviews and Hyrule Historia (all WP:PRIMARY)._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 05:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, that article was originally located at Hyrule and it may make sense to move it back to that name so it can have a more focused subject, similar to Spira (Final Fantasy). Renaming it just brought on the addition of large amounts of cruft._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 06:15, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This is pure cruft, with nearly all of these entries not being sourced by reliable sources, but rather fan sites, game guides, or the games themselves. The very few entries here that could be argued to have any sort of notability are already covered at other articles. Nothing here is worth merging, and its an unlikely search term making a redirect pointless. Rorshacma (talk) 15:25, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per others. Wikia's exist for this exact thing. List of recurring Mario franchise enemies should also be officially nominated for the same reasons. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 16:15, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It now has been, FYI. Sergecross73 msg me 17:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The section at Universe_of_The_Legend_of_Zelda#Creatures is sufficient to cover these, and even there, that needs some trim-down - we don't need to know how an enemy changed on each iteration of the game. --Masem (t) 17:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a section on Zelda enemies already exists in the Universe of The Legend of Zelda article. I am uncertain of the title's value as a redirect as I would not imagine that someone will type out the entire thing in the search bar. The Universe of The Legend of Zelda article requires a lot of attention, but that is a separate issue from this AfD. Aoba47 (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete - Per nom. This in no way meets the general notability guideline, and worst of all it doesn't even have reliable sources. It's more of a guide to how to play the game rather than anything substantive.

Delete. As nominated. Moreover, one of the two notable (?) exponents has a website that suggests to me that his "watergraphs" are just inkjet prints with faded edges that are made on arty paper. I could be wrong about that, but I've no reason to believe that even the minimal information present in this stub is accurate for the two examples it gives. -- Hoary (talk) 23:56, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -Looking at the article's history, as well as searching for sources, leads me to believe that this is nothing more than a failed attempt to create a WP:NEOLOGISM for an art technique that did not end up garnering any sort of notability. Searching for in-depth, reliable sources for the term came up with pretty much nothing. Rorshacma (talk) 22:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article as it is right now is completely unsourced, and in an attempt to find at least one piece of information about this term I couldn't find anything in third-party reliable sources. I found this primary source but it doesn't even substantiate some of the claims in the article. Not to mention both of the artist mentioned as "notable" producers of this technique dont have articles here (although Summers might be notable enough for inclusion).

Delete Fails WP:NCORP for the lack of significant coverage in multiple published independent reliable sources.

Keep We have lots of Lists of cities and it's not clear why we should delete this one in particular or how this would help our coverage of the topic.

Delete all per WP:LISTN and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. First can anyone explain the distinction that makes a population of 100,000 notable? Second, article is using single sources from data from 2016 or before, this is likely to require continual updating as more places experience population growth and are added to the lists, making them unwieldy. Ajf773 (talk) 09:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. 100,000 population is generally regarded by geographers as the minimum for a town to be classified as a large town, so this is not indiscriminate in any way. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:54, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the by-name lists, which seem to be a rather strange way to present this information, but keep and regenerate the by-country lists; as said above, 100,000 inhabitants seems to be a significant threshold of notability for many purposes. -- The Anome (talk) 16:00, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all The source is reliable, so that not a problem. Nor is the fact that it may need updating at time to be accurate as the population of some areas increase to be included on the list or possibly decrease for whatever reason, since many articles are potentially outdated, we don't erase them though. Perfectly valid lists articles. Dream Focus 15:55, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Although 100,000 inhabitants is some kind of a bar, it's still quite indiscriminate. But Wikipedia is not a directory and the massive scope of these lists is unencyclopedic.--Pudeo (talk) 13:28, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The rationale for nomination has three main points as I understand the nomination:

Only one source is given. The fact is WP:NEXIST However the information would likely be cited by mainstream press from the same censuses used by the UN. It seems like a fools errand to cite the numbers which will quote the same sources, but if more sources are needed- they exist. But we likely all agree that the United Nations is a WP:RS.
The nomination cites WP:NOTSTATS. I cannot see how that policy/guideline applies to these lists. The following is from the WP:NOTSTATS policy/guideline: Excessive listings of unexplained statistics. Statistics that lack context or explanation can reduce readability and may be confusing; accordingly, statistics should be placed in tables to enhance readability, and articles with statistics should include explanatory text providing context. Where statistics are so lengthy as to impede the readability of the article, the statistics can be split into a separate article and summarized in the main article. This policy/guideline does not apply to these lists, as they are clear and concise.
The nomination states that these lists will need to be updated, as a reason to delete the lists. Updating is needed with every BLP of every professional athlete. I am sure we would not delete professional athletes for fear that their statistics would not be updated. Lightburst (talk) 02:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all for reasons cited by SportingFlyer, Andrew D., User:Dream Focus and Lightburst.

Keep This is a really difficult AfD to judge since it is based on a UN list that's fairly low quality, but a quick Google search shows 100,000 people has been a normal cutoff for most of the world's cities, including the U.S. Census, meaning it probably passes WP:LISTN. It's not WP:NOTSTATS since it's not truly statistical, it's not WP:INDISCRIMINATE because it does discriminate based on population... could see it going either way, but on balance, there's more reasons to keep than to delete.

Subdivided interval categories

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

First, I can't seem to find anyone actually using the name "subdivided interval category". The one source listed here (Mac Lane) certainly doesn't call them by a name like this. In fact, when considering the category of these, he mostly considers them as finite ordinal numbers, making a single offhand comment that they can also be given as categories considered as ordered sets.

There's really no need to have a standalone article for this. At best, this is really just a fork of Simplex category, which treats the category of these as a whole, and is the standard name. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 20:45, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Malik Ofori's article is not vandalism, SPAM, or an attack page, It is a page for notable Ghanaian Filmmaker. I don't think it fails WP:GNG, WP:FILMMAKER and WP:RS as most of the references are from popular entertainment source in Ghana and Africa. I vote Keep because deserves to be on Wikipedia and it doesn't go against Wikipedia policies.

Comment: First of all I have not stated that I myself am Ball J. Secondly, anyone can give their opinion here on whether the article in question should be kept or not which i think should be speedy kept. You stating I have WP:COI is Wikipedia:Harassment. How can I have a WP:COI when even I wasn't the one who created the page in question. I created my talk back in 2015 when I wanted to know more about wikipedia and choose to write an article about Ball J so I created this my current page with a view description about him thinking at first that was how to create a wikipedia page for an article.Ball J

You say you're not Ball J, yet you sign your comments "Ball J"... If you are not Ball J and don't want to be mistaken for him, perhaps it would be a good idea not to use his name, no And there is no harassment at all, I said that if you were him, you would have a COI.

If I am getting what you're saying right you are saying I'm now not the Ball J you people are claiming but now I'm Malikofori? Ball J 23:27, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

No, Lapablo said that you created a page for yourself (assuming you were Ball J), and you also said you created a page for yourself, there's no difference in what you both said. As for Malik Ofori, it's strange that the subject of this AfD should also have edited the page you created for Ball J. But I don't believe you are the same person.

Keep - I would really appreciate if you could take your time to read the entire article and check references provided. Malik Ofori's article does not violate WP:PROMO as stated above, the article wasn't intended to promote him but to state facts about him online. If you feel there are places which violates WP:PROMO, your help in correcting tis is welcomed. Malik is a well known young filmmaker, songwriter and a YouTuber in Ghana, Africa and a big influencer too even has a verified on Twitter. This is my first artcle on Wikipedia and I hope to improve as time goes on but I will really appreciate if you can help improve the article if yu should have any problem with it than wanting it deleted. There are a lot of proof even when you google his name. I think there is still room for improvement on this article as I myself intend to improve this article by adding more references to it as time goes on.

In creating the page, great care was taken to ensure that the content thereof was non-promotional WP:PROMO and written in a factual, objective manner and tied to independent, third-party news citations. Other than citing his social media accounts like his verified Twitter account to verify WP:GNG, all content was backed by numerous independent, third-party, objective news sources in Ghana. As far as possible, the page's content complied with Wikipedia's rules and guidelines for use, notability criteria and objectivity parameters.Kofipedia (talk) 12:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Kofipedia (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.

Being streamed however many times does not qualify for the charting, certification, and airplay requirements at WP:NSINGER #2, 3, 11, 12. A WP:BEFORE search reveals no significant coverage in reliable sources to confirm any of the other criteria at WP:NSINGER.

Also found a website mentioning him here: [10] His music is also released by the label (Shoelace Records) that released music for Otis Taylor (musician) Also his youtube channel is a Verified Artist Channel, which is only given to artists on large labels with contacts at YouTube, and it means that YouTube deemed there enough coverage and the chance of impersonation of this artist to give it the verified Artist mark. Also is mentioned in the independent music tracking website MusicBrainz (Often used by Wikipedia to gather data for songs and artists) [11].

Another irrelevant note, the lyrics have been viewed a lot on Genius, which says something to me at least. He seems to have an engaged follower base, unlike the typical garage band wikipedia pages. That's my 2 cents.) --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 03:06, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The first keep !vote basically sums up this articles problems. The WP:GHITS claim is not true. IP found blogs, wikis. Not reliable sources. The site mentioning him is a PR listing. Claim about verified is not true, youtube did not evaluate "coverage". Musicbrainz is just a listing. Mentions are not indepth coverage. On the later claim of AWAL, they are distributors, not the releasing record co. Nothing good for GNG or MUSIC. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:49, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - @Duffbeerforme: I agree there is no notable coverage about this artist. However, AWAL is not just a distributor, they are considered a full fledged label. They have a marketing department, sync department, and they bought a prominent radio station music pitching company. Distribution companies do not have all those things. So as I see it, the artist does fall under WP:NSINGER. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 15:37, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OK, let's pretend for a moment that Insyde lied when he said he'd signed a distribution deal. What two albums are you talking about? Reading the article I see a total of zero. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:30, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Duffbeerforme: - That is a possiblity. We would have to find a way to verify if he is actually signed to AWAL as he claims. (Are we allowed to try to contact AWAL and/or the artist for verification?) Currently on Spotify I only see one item listed as an album.[15] Depending on how we interpret #5 WP:MUSICBIO, this artist may not pass. If we are interpreting it on a basis of "has released" or a basis of "has (possibly) released, but taken down". I don't really know what the policy is in this case, if you can point me to any answers similar to this and the outcome, I may have to amend my vote as needed. Also another thing to point out, in researching the artist, I found out that he is about to release more music on August 2, which is coming up fast, which would add the second 'album' entry on Spotify. I am not sure how strict we have been on that in the past as well. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 20:31, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Based on dearth of RS coverages/recognition and the fallacy of the rationales provided by editors voting keep. For a subject to pop up in a google search means little towards notability if all they are are for wiki mirrors, retail and download sites, which is the case here. A verified YouTube channel is not (according to one editor) ”only given to artists on large labels with contacts at YouTube, and it means that YouTube deemed there enough coverage and the chance of impersonation of this artist to give it the verified Artist mark proof”. It is, in fact available to anyone who simply applies. See [16].

As for AWAL, a simple investigation of their site reveals It is not a “label” at all, but rather a multi-tiered service for do-it-yourself artists and independent labels to build success. In structure it is not unlike those quasi-vanity publishing houses offered to authors to get published, providing distribution and marketing services, etc. on multi-tier levels where the creator retains the rights/liabilities, and the service gets a piece of the action (i.e. their “fee”) based proportional on the level of service. See: [17]. As you can see from that link, to be with AWAL simply means all an artist needs to do is pass their submission criteria (in other words, be weeded out from the amateurs by having merit that could lead to genuine success.) To be clear, an Artist or label that has a deal with AWAL can be notable for other reasons, but in and by itself, being with AWAL doesn’t meet WP:MUSICIAN criteria for a being signed to a notable label. The wording “signed a deal with AWAL” is nothing more than WP:PUFFERY.

Bottom line: all that’s left is the argument being made for keep is based on WP:EXISTS, with no evidence of significant, independent recognition. At best, WP:TOOSOON ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I have to point out is that the YouTube answers link you put up there is for "Verification" which is only available to channels with over 100,000 subscribers. The link is NOT for "Official Artist Channel" applications see [18]. Those are two VERY different things.

AWAL would fit under this definition of a Record Label . Having experience in the music industry, what you described is literally how record labels work. Record labels place their artists on tiers based on projected success. --- GingeBro (talk • contribs) 19:04, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. It seems like most keep arguments are based on mere assertions, pageviews and things like "long history", none of which are adequate reasons to keep an article.

Delete I have to concur with Clarityfiend here; a list of films on TV Guide is not good coverage, and it doesn't even come close to satisfying GNG. This is a BLP with no sources for even basic biographical info, and has been since 2012. I've searched for web, news, and book sources that could be used for this article, and turned up nothing. I'm astonished to have to point this out, but the GNG requires significant coverage in reliable sources, traditionally more than one, which are independent of the subject, and only then is the subject presumed notable. Significant coverage can be a slippery concept, but the guideline expressly stipulates that no original research is required to extract the content. In this article, nearly the entire lead sentence is original research. While TV Guide is a reliable source, it only gives Evans a routine filmography, not significant coverage, and is unsuitable for establishing notability, especially on its own. If anyone is able to turn up coverage of Evans in other reliable sources, those can then be evaluated, but with this AFD being in its third week, I won't hold my breath. The mere supposition that more sources could exist is not enough to keep. —Rutebega (talk) 23:26, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Now his three roles in question have all been verified per WP:V as I added references. He meets WP:NACTOR for having multiple significant roles in notable movies The Dark Mirror (1946 film), Black Beauty (1946 film) and Killer at Large (1947 film) (all of which have Wiki articles), just like Atlantic306 has said. I would recommend the nominator to first challenge the notability of these three movies (unlikely that The Dark Mirror will get deleted, as it seems it has reviews in Variety, Radio Times and NY Times) and then come back and renominate this if he does succeed in that. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 14:42, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The role undertaken in The Dark Mirror by our subject actor is strictly peripheral (a D.A. who makes a couple of passing appearances) and the same goes for Black Beauty where he appears only in the beginning as the female-protagonist's father. It's only in Killer at Large that Evans gets at last a secondary actor's credit. How from these parts we leap onto satisfying WP:NACTOR I truly cannot fathom. -The Gnome (talk) 15:01, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since subject fails WP:NACTOR. Having one's name listed in the all-including TV Guide confers to a person as much notability as being included in the phone book. As it happens, I'm a card-carrying fan of cinema trivia and obscurities but Wikipedia is not the place one should look for those. Contributors see the number of works in which the actor participated and presume notability. It's a misplaced presumption. -The Gnome (talk) 15:01, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Struck my vote and changed it per The Gnome's excellent reasoning. With that, he doesn't meet WP:NACTOR and he certainly doesn't meet WP:GNG as I was unable to find significant coverage of his, even in the books. The fact he appeared in many movies or that his page has views aren't rooted in policies or guidelines and should be discounted. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:41, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Isenburg-Kempenich, unbundle bios (require individual consideration - some are probably notable - there are issues with the names for searching - they need individual consideration). I'm not sure this was an independent state of the Holy Roman Empire. However, the noble line does have a dewiki page (which I interlinked) - and they controlled this castle (and not insignificant territory around it) - a branch of this noble family.

Keep. I agree that sourcing is a problem, but the various articles in the German Wikipedia and Google show that the main topic and the various names are (well, were) real, and in principal they are notable. There definitely are sources (books), but they are in German and it needs a lot of time and experts in the field to study them and add them as inline references to the various articles. If the bio articles can't be kept, I would suggest to merge them all into the main topic with redirects to give future authors at least a starting point, however, given the complicated structure of interconnections it seems to be more desirable to preserve the "network" already existing and therefore keep them all in separate articles.

Follow-up: I see that in the previous AfD discussion from two years ago linked above (the result of which was "keep"), I also participated and gave a very similar reason for keeping it as my reason in this discussion. I will bring up the additional point that, per WP:Notability, notability is not temporary.

I added one new published reference from The Conversation authored by an Australian university professor who claims to have visited China and seen this new transportation system in person. The best case scenario for you at this point is that no consensus will be reached, in which case the article stays just as it would if the result becomes "keep".

Again, a source, even if an overlapping source (with other issues.)

That article is something that stands despite its publisher, rather than because of it.

Delete. As far as I can tell all his supposed publications are self-published, and all his supposed discoveries are in his own self-published journal. I didn't find reviews or even publishers for any of them. (It's a little confusing, though, because his Fauna Palaestina has the same title as a different and more notable one, he:Fauna Palaestina, edited by Levy and Amitai and published by the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities.) Maybe the titles are translated from another language? Most of the ISBNs are unrecognized but the "Family of Sharif" one links to something with a title in Arabic. There is a long list of sources but they all look either to be by the subject rather than about him, non-reliable sources (e.g. facebook posts), newspaper stories that do not establish notability (quoting him about racism in German schools) or trivial puff pieces (breathlessly reporting that his wife uploaded a photo to the National Geographic reader contributions section). None support the actual content of the article, his work as a scientist. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:14, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

- Smmrcr, Rezair is an emerging artist. Her work is not represented in multiple museum collections and has not been the subject of a monograph, things we'd expect to see from an artist we consider notable (per our own very idiosyncratic use of notability. I can try to make the case for keeping the article, based on our general notability guideline, but the only way to do that is to show that her work has been critically assessed in several independent, reliable sources. You can help by providing such references. Note that articles by Rezaire, and her own website are not independent, reliable sources. I do think that such sources exist: for example, https://mg.co.za/article/2017-04-21-00-rezaire-awakens-what-is-within and https://artafricamagazine.org/exotic-trade-cultural-imperialism-decolonisation-and-the-internet-tabita-rezaire/ (already used as a source), https://www.indulgexpress.com/culture/kochi-muziris-biennale-2016/2018/dec/28/tabita-rezaire-ponders-over-swallowing-smartphones-at-kochi-biennale-2018-11798.html. I find some brief mentions like https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/arts/design/new-york-art-galleries-what-to-see-right-now.html but overall I think there's a good chance that there is sufficient material to create a neutral, well-sourced article. Vexations (talk) 20:37, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Art.Net

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

This rather promotional article (COI creator with a username we wouldn't allow today) was AfD'd and kept in the glory days of 2006, when notability standards were significantly more woolly than they are today. Under today's stricter standards, requiring in-depth coverage in secondary sources, this article cannot be kept.

I have checked "art.net", "art net", and "art on the net" on Google News, Google Books, JSTOR, Questia, and Newspapers.com and found nothing. The problem is exacerbated by the generic-sounding name, which throws up chaff generated by an unrelated early-net bulletin board called ArtNet, a data protocol called Art-Net, and a popular art auction site called Artnet (as well as hits generated by things simply talking about art on the net). Testifying in court or being part in a suit does not grant notability unless secondary sources write about it in depth (they haven't). The single paragraph in the ACLU article is not sufficient depth (nor is it independent since they collaborated on some of those lawsuits).

On the whole, given the complete lack of secondary sources, we can't keep this article. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 15:00, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this amounts to a flash in the pan, I think. It did some things early on in the Internet era that were interesting, but the sources really do not exist to generate Wikipedia notability.

I read through this article twice, and I am still not seeing how this restaurant is notable. I read the original nomination for deletion page, and some of the users in the discussion there seem to be saying that the owners published some cookbooks, but, if these are so significant, then why are they not mentioned in the article's summary? I did a quick search and found a NY Times article from 1990, which leads me to believe that it maybe meets WP:GNG. But I'm not sure. I am still seeing people question the significance of this restaurant in the discussion page, so I thought I'd bring it up for another deletion nomination.

Merge with Moosewood Cookbook - Look, I love Moosewood Restaurant. I took the photo which illustrates the article. But I don't see the point of having an article about the restaurant AND an article about the cookbook AND an article about Mollie Katzen. Of the three, it's the cookbook that is notable; it was a best seller, and very influential in its field. The restaurant itself is a moderately popular (if beloved) restaurant in a small city. If it weren't for the cookbooks, nobody outside Ithaca would have heard of the restaurant. There are similar restaurants around the world that do not have Wiki articles. Keep the existing Moosewood Cookbook article, add a section to that about the history and background of the restaurant, and it will be well-served. --Kzirkel (talk) 12:45, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why merge – how would this add value to our content? We are not rewarded for cramming as much as possible into the smallest number of pages. Our actual policy is WP:NOTPAPER which indicates that we can use as many pages as we like for such content. People now commonly access Wikipedia using smart phones or smart speakers. For such usage, it's best if the content is delivered in specific, compact pieces rather than as bloated compendia. If we have three different types of subject – a book, a restaurant and a person – then our structural elements such as categories work best if we keep them separate and use links to cross-reference them. In any case, this is quite tangential to the core issue of deletion – this is not a general forum for discussing improvements and the formatting of the page(s). Andrew D. (talk) 12:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The restaurant is more significant than almost any restaurant I've been to, where I can think of there being a Wikipedia article. It is world-level/international in significance; people do travel out of their way to get there, and since Ithaca and Cornell University do attract considerable visitation anyhow there are a considerable number of international, national, regional visitors who get to the restaurant each week I am sure. It is a pilgrimage destination. If I recall correctly there is a guestbook which would prove that; most restaurants would not think of having a guestbook but here it makes sense. I agree that a merger wouldn't help. There could be some editing though. As far as I can tell, the restaurant article does not currently link to the Moosewood Cookbook article, and it currently states "The Collective has produced 13 cookbooks over the years, beginning with New Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant".... as if that one is not the first one (and I just checked my copy, no the 1977 Moosewood Cookbook title page as a subtitle "Recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, Ithaca, New York" but not the word "New"; maybe that one is the first by the collective as opposed to Mollie Katzen?). Note that the restaurant article is about the restaurant and the collective/publishing company which apparently has 13 works. Probably each of the separate books is not worth an article, I am not sure. A collection of three articles for the award-winning restaurant/collective, for the award-winning Moosewood Cookbook, and for Mollie Katzen as related but quite distinct types of things, categorized correctly, seems about right to me. But maybe separate articles for more of the cookbooks would be warranted, if any of the others has significant awards and coverage and meets wp:NBOOK; at least the one obviously does. --Doncram (talk) 15:17, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't appear to meet the general notability guideline.

There's probably something to eke out of Boellstorff (aforecited), ISBN 9781848824775 chapter 5, ISBN 9780198704515 chapter 2 (which cites Boellstorff itself), and some others; but I have not been able to work out what it is in the time that I have had and thus what this could be renamed and refactored into. There is a concept here. It's not the specific state of being away from the keyboard; but that is one facet of the overall concept, including the fact that it does not necessarily literally mean what it says but can imply using one's computer for something else. It is not solely presence in virtual worlds, either, as it covers presence in other areas too, such as chats.

Spelling more sources come up when you drop the "h", however, some of the sources that do come up are to an older usage of the phrase. books: [30]. Here's the BBC's pick-up of a local source: (Group in Yemen's Hadramawt demands governorate's right to "independence" BBC Monitoring Middle East; London [London]16 Apr 2013. Text of report in English by privately-owned Yemeni newspaper Yemen Observer website on 15 April) .E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:06, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

E.M.Gregory both spellings are true. The problem is the letter Ḍad which is pronounced differently based on the accent. It sounds like "ð" or "D" with a dot below ("Ḍ"). As a Yemeni I would pronounce it like Hadhramout not Hadramout. In non-Arabs places they would pronounce it "D" because they aren't used to pronounce "Ḍ". I would prefer it to be "D" in English Wikipedia but Hadhramout might be the most commonly used name I can't confirm that.--SharabSalam (talk) 17:15, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination After doing some research: There is no independent Hadhramout. The group or the league was a not a real thing it was a made up thing like Ahrar al-Najran. Ali Abdullah Salah the former president of Yemen did this to make South Yemen fear from getting an independence because Hadhramout which is the largest governorate in South Yemen would want an independence too. South Yemen would have nothing except some ports and deserts if they got saperated. The differences between South Yemen and north Yemen goes back to ancient times when Saba' was in the North and Himyar was in the South. Ali Salah was reportedly able to dance on the snakes heads. Currently all of what I know about the Hadhramout League is from some Facebook groups and pages.--SharabSalam (talk) 16:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:GEOLAND. Recognised settlement. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Municipality of the District of Yarmouth. WP:GEOLAND does not confer an automatic inclusion freebie on every named settlement that exists — that attaches to the level of incorporated municipalities, not necessarily to individual neighbourhoods within them. At that smaller level, the notability test is the ability to write and reliably source some actual substance about the community, not just the ability to see it on a map, and communities which don't have the sources just get redirected to their parent municipality rather than standing alone as permanently unsourced one-line stubs which just state that the place exists, the end. The municipality is inherently notable per GEOLAND; the individual neighbourhoods within it get their own separate articles only if they can be substanced and sourced well enough to demonstrate a reason why they need a separate article from the parent municipality. Bearcat (talk) 16:41, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- No, there's no mention of incorporated municipalities within WP:GEOLAND. Any separate settlement that is recognised is notable, even if it comes under another administrative unit. Areas of towns that are merely unofficial divisions within a contiguous built-up area are a different matter, but this is a separate, named village well outside the town itself. We have always held these to be notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:20, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, we never have done any such thing. GEOLAND does not provide that if a community happens to have observable geographic boundaries and a name, then it's exempted from actually having to have any reliable sources at all — the question of whether an unincorporated community qualifies for its own article, or just for redirection to its parent municipality, always still hinges on how much content we can or can't substance and source about the community in its own right. Note that GEOLAND explicitly distinguishes legally recognized places (i.e. municipalities) as inherently notable, while downgrading places without legal recognition (i.e. communities within municipalities) as "considered on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the GNG". Having a name is not the difference between "legal recognition" or lack thereof; having a municipal government is the difference. Bearcat (talk) 21:11, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - A settlement does not have to be a municipality to be "legally recognised". We have, for instance, always regarded every village or hamlet in the UK that has a name sign at either end of it (which are set up by the council, which is de facto legal recognition) to meet the requirements of GEOLAND, although many of them are not parishes (i.e. municipalities) in their own right, but are part of other parishes. There is a big difference between such a settlement and a small group of houses which may have a name that is used locally but is not otherwise recognised; the latter would not satisfy GEOLAND. However, it seems clear that Melbourne falls into the former category. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:30, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Geographical Names Board of Canada lists Melbourne as an official place name[32], which constitutes legal recognition and qualifies for notability under WP:GEOLAND. As examples of places without legal recognition, GEOLAND lists subdivisions, business parks, housing developments, informal regions of a state, unofficial neighborhoods, which usually wouldn't show up in a government place name database. Highway 89 (talk) 20:17, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The Geographical Names Board is just a directory of place names that exist, not a conferrer of legal recognition upon them. They certainly have the power to forbid the use of names that might be offensive, like "Fucktown" or "N-Word Park", but their primary role is to descriptively list the names that geographical features have rather than to prescriptively bestow legal status on them.

Delete Perhaps there are non-English WP articles that have good sources, but assuming they establish notability isn't enough; that's essentially WP:MUSTBESOURCES. The Italian and German articles (just translations of one or the other; not two articles) have a list of books but only one footnote to a useless government document. If an editor has actually read and understood the books at KlimaHaus#Literatur and wants to come here affirm those books meet WP:SIGCOV, fine, accept that AGF. But otherwise we don't really know if these are self-published, have only passing mention, or what.

Mccapra (talk) 04:15, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I should say that I’ve only indicated sources that establish clearly that the ClimateHouse standard is a notable topic. These particular sources don’t describe the technical detail of the standard, but there are others that substantiate the specifics of the article content. Mccapra (talk) 04:20, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but Rename. The Italian term "CasaClima" and the German "KlimaHaus" are well established and can be found also in official documents, probably because of the origin in the Bozen–Südtirol region, which is bi-lingual IIRC. The English term appears to be an attempt of a translation in order to widen the scope for an international audience. I have seen both "ClimateHouse" (rarely) as well as "KlimaHouse" (more often - yes, this spelling). So, if it cannot be established that one or both of them are the official terms, we might rename the topic into "CasaClima" and have redirects from the other 3 terms.

The English article leaves a lot to be desired (but not relevant in AfD per WP:CONTN and WP:NEXIST), but could be brought into something much more acceptable by translating more contents from either the Italian or the German article.

Also, per Mccapra above, I see WP:GNG fulfilled.

Merge to Commuter Cars Tango. If you combine coverage of the car with coverage of the company, it nets just enough notability to justify one article. Most of our sources are interested in what makes the car unique, rather than the company, so we probably prefer to keep the car article and merge a summary of the details about the company into a section of that article, rather than the other way around.

Keep CNN Money, Bloomberg, The subject was notable in 2005 and once a subject is notable it remains notable. WP:NTEMP Lightburst (talk) 04:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The CNN Money article is based entirely on an interview and therefore fails WP:ORGIND. The Bloomberg reference is a basic generic listing provided by the company with no independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and/or fact checking and is not significant coverage, fails both SIGCOV and ORGIND. "Coverage" does not equate to references that may be used to establish notability. HighKing⁺⁺ 12:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Dennis Bratland. The coverage is slim on both the car and the company, but if merged, it may just barely squeak by the WP:GNG. Case in point, of the three sources provided by Lightburst above, the Bloomberg link is just a catalog entry for the company with no actual coverage, and the other two are brief and more about the actual product than the company itself. I don't have any strong opinions on whether this article should be merged into the Commuter Cars Tango article, as suggested by Dennis Bratland, or that article should be merged here, but I do believe that one of those should be done, as we do not need both as separate articles. Rorshacma (talk) 15:38, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge. One article or two, and decide whether the merged article should be here or there. When the article was nominated there were no references, but Lightburst found and added some and improved the article. Such a common name, you have to add in the word "tango" to get valid results in Google news search. Dream Focus 16:03, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with to Commuter Cars Tango. I have improved the reference formatting on the latter article, but it would be improved by moving some of the "References" to in line citations. I also improved the formatting of the reference in this article Commuter Cars. In any event, between the two articles, there is plenty to satisfy WP:GNG. WP:NEXIST. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 18:01, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Dennis Bratland, but in the other direction (keep the company article, merge its products in; more or less a set index article). Both seem notable enough but not independently. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:06, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge It looks like enough to support an article after merge. Springee (talk) 19:43, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per Dennis Bratland. Normally I'd go with the company name for the article, but Commuter Car is more or less a generic phrase for any car used for commuting. This company only made the one car which has been covered in several specialist magazines unreferenced on either page currently and Commuter Cars Tango is much more likely to be a recognisable and searched for title. Mighty Antar (talk) 21:54, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not pronominal the car has not been in production for a number of years now. In the UK there is a large following for Kit Cars and historic information on older kits needs to be maintained for future reference. If it is deleted from Wikipedia where will this information be obtainable from? Surely the main point of Wikipedia is it is an encyclopedia of information and I feel it should include information that otherwise isn't available. I recently carried out some research on Kit Cars from the 60s and it was quite difficult to obtain reference material and photographs of the cars.

Keep On reading this it sounded like pseudo-intellectual bullshit to me, but it is sourceable pseudo-intellectual bullshit and those saying they couldn't find anything didn't look very hard. Book sources include The Language of Surrealism and Historical Dictionary of Surrealism. Both sources confirm that Luca and Trost are responsible for this (the latter has entries for both of them [33][34]) so the fact that the Luca and Trost quotation does not contain the word is not very significant. Having said all that, I wouldn't oppose a merge into surrealism if someone wants to take that on. I don't think there is ever going to be a great deal to say about this subject. SpinningSpark 11:26, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do the two sources you cite use the word? Beyond My Ken (talk) 11:32, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The source I provided actually uses the term surautomatism.

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the language is, well, "strange", but that "madness" is part of what "surrealism" was about, I think...

--Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:50, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Beyond My Ken: Why are you asking that question? Can you not follow the links I provided? And yes, they do use that word. The Historical Dictionary has it as a headword in an entry of a hundred words or so, and it is also used in the entries for "Trost, Dolfi" and "Entoptic Graphomania". The Language of Surrealism source says "They [Trost and Luca] termed their manic method surautomatism (Lucal and Trost 1945) or superautomatism (Trost 1945), and included examples of indecipherable writing, text produced so fast and with spasmodic muscle movements that the products could not be made out into conventional words." There is also some coverage in Sacred Surrealism, Dissidence and International Avant-Garde Prose, and it is listed as a surrealist technique in Architectural Draughtsmanship: From Analog to Digital Narratives. SpinningSpark 19:21, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest now that you have found those sources, you edit the article to make it clearer that the word is legitimate. Perhaps then other editors, myself included, might agree that the article should not be deleted. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:12, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

...and maybe you should have said in the first place that your problem was you wanted to see the sources in the article rather than get me to waste my time replying to you here. If you want to petulantly persist with delete knowing that sources exist, that is entirely up to you. You have no business demanding that I do something with the article. It is not my responsibility to fix the article any more than it is yours or any other editor. It does not become my responsibility just because I found some sources. If I choose to do anything at all, it won't be until this AFD is closed. I'm not going to work on something only to have it deleted. SpinningSpark 22:41, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is not a neologism, but an established though little-known term in arts. I've heard the German equivalent of it ("Surautomatismus") in arts courses in school many decades ago. The earliest source I could find is from 1945 already, and this might even be the source originally defining it (or at least being close to it). I have therefore added a reference to the text "Dialectique de la dialectique" by Gherasim Luca and Dolfi Trost stating (boldface by me):

"Poussant l'automatisme jusqu'à ses limites les plus concrètes et absurdes (le surautomatisme, le talisman-simulacre), objectivisant d'une manière ininterrompue le hasard et l'obligeant à renoncer à son caractère de rareté provenant de la découverte de l'objet trouvé (l'objet objectivement offert, la graphomanie entropique), nous écartons l'idée insupportable de ne pouvoir le capter toujours."

I think the article should be expanded, but if it cannot be kept the term should be redirected to "Dialectique de la dialectique".

I don't agree. Citing NOTDICTIONARY without any explanation of why this is a dictionary entry, well, you may as well cite WP:IDON'TLIKEIT. Which of the four major criteria on NOTDICTIONARY do you believe this page fails? It is four sentences plus a lengthy quotation, which is more than a typical dictionary entry and certainly goes beyond a definition. Further, the article is clearly capable of expansion from the sources. SpinningSpark 19:33, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

See this for the back story of articles created by the same now-banned editor. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:16, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But that user wasn't blocked for creating articles about rare arts topics, or was he? I mean, nobody get's it right all the time, and the variant "soufflage" is in fact used by some (even some academics), so he might have known the technique under this name rather than "sifflage". We still have to further narrow down its first usage in order to sort out if Wikipedia introduced the spelling variant or not. If so, that would be sad, but for as long as it was not deliberately created (as a joke or hoax or whatever) we can't put the blame on a former user, but should put it more on our ignorant or lazy community not recognizing it in all those years. Actually, we than should thank that former user for creating an entry for it in the first place at all. I haven't checked for why that user was blocked and don't defend him, I just think that it isn't a drama. Let's fix it and be happy.

What is more annoying is the fact that so many arts terms were nominated for deletion recently that is is next to impossible to properly research them all in the given time frame, so it is very likely that some of them will slip through and be deleted even though they are notable - and articles about rare/obscure topics once deleted are seldomly recreated because experts about these topics are rare as well. At least I don't want Wikipedia to be an encyclopedia for mainstream topics only.

The blocked user only created this, and since then there have been enough edits to say that G5 does not apply. Masum Reza seems to misunderstand G5 as well, because this page creation was in violation of the block (WP:BE). The subject is notable. --MrClog (talk) 12:49, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete overly promotional article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:03, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. COI and PROMO concerns notwithstanding, and while I'm not perhaps ready to advocate a "keep" or "delete" either way, I am not personally sure GNG is met. I say this because, while there is clearly some coverage of the subject (including of the 2014 "young entrepreneurs" win), much of it wouldn't seem to meet the SIGCOV guidelines. Specifically, much of the coverage seems to be in non-national outlets like the Connacht Tribune and Galway Advertiser (the latter a regional freesheet). The coverage that is in national outlets seems either to be only indirectly related to the subject, or is not entirely independent of the subject. On the former ("subject not primary topic of coverage") for example, the piece in the Independent Health and Wellbeing supplement is more about paleo diets than the subject, and in the Irish Times piece the subject is mentioned among several other potential personal trainers. On the latter ("coverage not independent of subject"), pieces like the Business & Finance interview would seem to be Q&A/PR pieces published to coincide with the subject's press activity/book launches/etc. It may be that the article can be improved (to address the COI and PROMO issues). But, once we've removed all the uncited NOTCV stuff (about primary school and early interest in fitness), and tempered the uncited PROMO stuff (about having the best selling fitness book in Ireland), I'm not sure what is left. (Other than the shout-out from Facebook for being good at Facebook. And the award from the Galway business community for being good at business. And the two books. All of which are great. And laudable. But which are perhaps not particularly strong notability claims relative to this project's goals). The subject's listing on his PR/entertaintment agency's website is quite likely accurate. And he likely can be described as an "author and corporate speaker from Galway who features regularly in print media, radio and TV". Whether that meets this project's criteria I'm not sure either way.... Guliolopez (talk) 02:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Being a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians [36] may be enough to qualify under WP:PROF#C3 and being head of the University of Auckland's School of Medicine may be enough under WP:PROF#C6, but neither seems very clear as far as notability is concerned (e.g. is the FRACP a highly exclusive fellowship? You do need training to get it [37]). IntoThinAir (talk) 15:15, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Regardless of the above considerations (which might separately be enough for notability) her 16 publications with over 100 citations each in Google Scholar gives her a pass of WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:57, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep? Passes WP:Prof#C1 if this [38] link is correct. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:33, 14 July 2019 (UTC).[reply]
(1)Fellow RCAP is similar to the UK equivalents, it essentially corresponds to being boardcertified in the US, and is not a particular honour. The training you need to get in is the same sort of training that gives a specialty certification in the US and nothing more. It's not even analogous to the US medical Fellowship, which is a subspecialty training after the board certification and that too isn't notable--in the usual inflationary pattern, every physician in NYC has a board certification--even the ones in the walk-in clinics. I think in the the UK etc. this may not be the case, and people practice as a generalist without a specialty qualification, but that would still mean that every specialist in the UK and similar countries would get an article--every neurologist, cardiologist, etc.

(2)Head of a department has never been accepted as notability. Normally all the senior people take it in turn. Dean of a medical scool is another matter , and we have generally considered that this qualifies

"(3)The very high references in GoogleScholar arefrom being a Cochrane reviewer. (or joint author of a similar review published elsewhere). The only research papers have citations of 60 or 70 at best. We do need to decide whether to include an article for every one of the reviewer-authors for /Cochrane. DGG ( talk ) 22:53, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment. Could you expand on the issue with Cochrane, which is new to me?

Keep. She's head of the School of Medicine, not just a Department, and past president of the Internal Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand WP:Prof#C6. I've also found some general coverage of her in reliable sources and added that. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 01:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. She is a full professor at New Zealand's top-ranked university, such rank being (according to Academic ranks (Australia and New Zealand)#Teaching and research positions) equivalent to distinguished/endowed professor in most North American universities, thus passes WP:PROF#C5. Having been president of the Internal Medicine Society of Australia and New Zealand may also put her past WP:PROF#C6, depending on whether it is considered a major academic society. Being Head of School of Medicine would probably not be enough on its own, but adds to the other factors. FRACP is not significant. Nurg (talk) 10:28, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think there's a decent case for WP:PROF#C6 and a good one for WP:PROF#C5. In addition, I see no reason not to count Cochrane reviews towards her citation record. Writing an influential review, like being the author of a standard textbook, is a way of shaping one's field. (Secondarily, there is the factor that one might only get invited to write such a review if one is already fairly well-established, but I don't think we need to start splitting those hairs here.)

Book store shoplifting

AfDs for this article:

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

Concern expressed at earlier AfD four years ago applies as much today if not more: reeks of original research and synthesis, draws very heavily on a handful of non-encyclopedic articles, and generally has no place here. No sign of potential for improvement. E Eng 03:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Shoplifting the little bit that is useful here to indicate they're commonly stolen and a mention of what the stores are doing to prevent it, leaving a redirect as well as an alternative to deletion. I agree, this really has a lot of problems, with the sources pretty much being local news events or opinion columns (WP:NOTNEWS). The compilation of information doesn't really articulate a theme here, either, appearing more like an indiscriminate collection of lists of events on the topic. I don't think it has enough weight to warrant a full article, but a mention in the shoplifting article of the reliable content, I think, is warranted.

Comment Neither a keep nor a merge would be terrible outcomes, I think. Shoplifting seems too narrow a term; it would be easier to argue for the wiki-notability of book theft more generally.

Merge into a new article called Book theft (see Library theft, the Canadian Medical Association Journal article "People who steal books", etc.) and a little bit into Shoplifting. IMO, the topic is a bit too narrow for a standalone article. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:18, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep oddball topic, but the sourcing on the page establishes that it is a coherent topic, and it passes WP:GNG.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:27, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it's weird, but from my experience as a bookseller at Barnes and Noble, it's a unique and serious problem. Bearian (talk) 16:03, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found no significant coverage. A claim to notability is that it is historic, but I can find no proof of that. SL93 (talk) 00:46, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I believe the article as written, that it is a public attraction which includes a railway museum and more. And I tend to believe it is historic too, probably a railway museum would be located in a historic train station. See the very excellent essay wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION and wp:ITSAMUSEUM. This appears to be notable and we keep these. --Doncram (talk) 00:06, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But sure, it could/should be tagged about inline sources being needed. But neither the nominator nor I have done a proper search using Spanish language and other local languages, using proper names for the place. The nominator is just not happy with the state of current sourcing; they essentially wp:IDONTLIKEIT without really questioning its existence and its notability. Or they want to force cleanup right now, but wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. --Doncram (talk) 00:06, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- So you admitted you found no notability either for this article that has been sitting unsourced since 2005. Get over yourself and assuming stuff. SL93 (talk) 00:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Fuck essays too. SL93 (talk) 00:16, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, I did not say I searched and found nothing; I did not even try to do a proper search. But sure there are lots of hits immediately on La Estacion Aguascalientes, including about a restaurant and a whole barrio. I don't read Spanish easily and I am not trying to sort out about the historic train station for which everything is named, and about the museum which may no longer exist. But once notable always notable.
    About your suggestion to "fuck essays", well I think wp:CIVILITY is more fundamental, and with language like that you are offending me and probably others. Anyhow wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION essay in particular is written as a shorthand way to respond to idiotic, uninformed AFDs. Not saying this AFD is one, or that you personally are idiotic and uninformed, so don't go attacking me about wp:PERSONALATTACKS either. Essays are helpful in communicating within AFDs and elsewhere, even ones I don't personally agree with, because they can communicate much more what someone's position is. Instead of writing out the same stuff again and again in ~~response to idiotic, ill-informed AFDs~~ AFDs which are cumulatively repetitive. --Doncram (talk) 00:31, 15 July 2019 (UTC) 00:40, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh please. You were certainly not being civil even without using such words and offended me. So how about I break it down for you - "The nominator is just not happy with the state of current sourcing" - There is no sourcing. "they essentially wp:IDONTLIKEIT without really questioning its existence and its notability." - I actually did question its notability. So, fuck essays, especially ones that you claim are "very excellent" and that you started. SL93 (talk) 00:35, 15 July 2019 (UTC)4[reply]
      - "There is no sourcing"??? I simply don't believe you. Sure, there is no sourcing currently included in the article, but that is not at all a valid reason to delete an article. Given that you and I both probably believe that there was a historic train station in "La Estacion" neighborhood, and that there is or was a theme park including a railway museum, I am 100% certain that sourcing about it exists, maybe off-line, maybe in Spanish, but it has certainly been written about. So there is good reasoning to believe that sourcing exists, so this should be closed "Keep" as it is, or even "Speedy keep" because there is no valid deletion argument.
        Yep, I am proud to have mostly created that essay, and another one or two, that have survived MFD attempts to delete them. You double-down with your language, which really does actually offend me. --Doncram (talk) 00:42, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

        "So there is good reasoning to believe that sourcing exists, so this should be closed "Keep" as it is, or even "Speedy keep" because there is no valid deletion argument." - I have been in many AfDs in the past 10 years. That is so not how AfD works. SL93 (talk) 00:53, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        AFDs are about determining if topics are notable, i.e. whether sourcing exists somewhere, not about the current state of an article.
        Why should you not use profanity? Well, because you are offending me by that profanity. Why should you not use profanity repeatedly, when you have been informed that it is offending someone? Well to avoid appearing to be a jerk. And you should care about CIVILITY and community and all that. This AFD process is a community process, and in a small way you are abusing that process and offending editors (or at least me) and contributing to the decline of Wikipedia. So, no offense, I am tending towards concluding "what a jerk" and walking away, though I will try to be open-minded that you might possibly have a point about something or another. However currently I do believe that there is no validity to this AFD nomination, so it is tending to drag down my impression of you. This is getting too personal, in both directions, so I will probably respond less or not at all from now on. Enjoy your vitriole. --Doncram (talk) 00:58, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        That is funny because that is what I concluded when you turned it into me having a vendetta against the article (which is also uncivil, also with no apology). If it helps, I doubt that the article is even 100% truthful or truthful at all with no sources since 2005. SL93 (talk) 01:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
        
        If the notability guideline isn't enough to explain my position, is the policy WP:V enough? SL93 (talk) 01:05, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am also struggling to find sources that show notability. The Old Railway Station Museum already has a Wikipedia article. There is also this article in The Architect's Newspaper which certainly would be the basis of an interesting and notable article. However, I can't be sure if the Museo Espacio is actually the subject of the La Estacion Theme Park article, or if they are separate developments in Aguascalientes. Railfan23 (talk) 00:59, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Some further research finds a lot of reliable sources for the existence and notability of Museo Espacio in Aguascalientes. My guess (for whatever it's worth) is that the La Estacion Theme Park may have been the first attempt at creating what is now called the Museo Espacio. So my recommendation is that we delete the La Estacion Theme Park article and create a new Museo Espacio article from sources. Railfan23 (talk) 01:08, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - Sorry. that is a ridiculous suggestion. The facts you suggest are motivation for a rename/move/update, not for deletion. And please consider wp:ATD, that we are obligated to look for alternatives to deletion. Not to violate Wikipedia policy about contributions and delete stuff, only to recreate it later without credit to original contributors. --Doncram (talk) 01:43, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Wow, what have I done to deserve that sort of hostility? I made an honest suggestion. Whoever decides to close this "Article for discussion" (emphasis added) can decide whether the suggestion is a good one or not. The article as it stands is unverifiable and in its current state is not notable. Given that, I believe it should be deleted and not renamed/moved, unless reliable sources can be found to show that Museo Espacio is indeed the same thing as La Estacion Theme Park. I was quite deliberate in not suggesting that we redirect or move the article because the connection between the two is my original research so is not a valid basis for making a decision. I just thought it was interesting that there might be a connection. Railfan23 (talk) 01:54, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - Okay, yes, Railfan23, I am sorry I was bitey towards you; for some reason I was in a pretty crabby mood. Separate from this AFD, I have been cumulatively irritated by other AFDs that advocated for deletion of a thing invoking wp:TNT, only for the thing to be recreated because it is obviously notable, and in the process violating Wikipedia's Gnu Public License or whatever is our current license with contributors (more about this in essay wp:TNTTNT which I started). Here, you didn't argue "TNT" specifically but it seemed superficially similar. Please accept my apology for putting your reasonable comment in the same box as some previous TNT-arguers and for my blasting out in your direction, inappropriately. Thank you for contributing here, instead (and thank you likewise to Uncle G also). Your point that you were not sure of the relationship between the two things is quite reasonable, too. And in fact it looks to me now like Museo Espacio is a different thing, and that La Estacion Theme Park ought to be moved/renamed to Complejo Tres Centurias instead. --Doncram (talk) 16:14, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since I maybe didn't make myself clear in my nomination somehow, my issues are WP:N and WP:V, a guideline and a policy. SL93 (talk) 01:14, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If it helps with the search for sources, this is the es:Museo Ferrocarrilero de Aguascalientes and the es:Complejo Tres Centurias in the es:Barrio de la Estación (Aguascalientes). Railfan23, you are the one person doing the right thing here. Keep at it. ☺ Although if an article can be renamed and rewritten, that is something that any editor with an account can do, no administrator tools required. It is even possible, I have heard, to do it whilst an AFD discussion is going on. Uncle G (talk) 19:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/merge per WP:ATD; WP:BITE; WP:PRESERVE, &c. Here's an English-language source which seems relevant: Recognition of industrial heritage in Aguascalientes, Mexico. I can only see the first page but it may help us forward. Andrew D. (talk) 23:37, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Merging or keeping would be fine if we could verify the article. SL93 (talk) 00:04, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The Old Railway Station Museum article has a title sounding like it must be in Cleveland or some other place in the U.S. It was created in ancient times, 12 October 2005, by i.p. editor 12.144.179.218 at a name which is apparently a translation, but that was a poor decision and/or should be revisited. Like we have Museo del Prado not "Prado Museum". IMO it should be moved/renamed to some name reflecting better its actual name and/or usage in guidebooks and other sources, perhaps "Museo Ferrocarrilero de Aguascalientes" or some name reflecting "Estacion", depending. It is not even wikilinked from its mention in List_of_museums_in_Mexico#Aguascalientes because no one would expect that the Wikipedia article name would be so different. It was only just now wikilinked from La Estacion Theme Park article by Railfan.

The "La Estacion Theme Park" article was created also on 12 October 2005‎ also by editor 12.144.179.218, who judged it was a different thing than the museum. It seems to me to correspond to the Spanish wikipedia article es:Complejo Tres Centurias, which is about a complex, "un parque temático ubicado en el Barrio de la Estación de la Ciudad de Aguascalientes", and it includes the plaza, "La Plaza de las Tres Centurias". Maybe in fact there was in 2005 promotion of an official "La Estacion Theme Park" name for the complex including the plaza, or maybe that was the i.p. editor's attempt to compose an English translation of what they thought the name should be, while locally it was then and/or now more known as "Complejo Tres Centurias". IMO the plaza itself could possibly merit an article, but would be better covered in a larger article about the complex. It would probably be good now for the "La Estacion Theme Park" article to be moved/renamed to "Complejo Tres Centurias" or "Tres Centurias Complex" or the like. The proper AFD outcome for that would be "Keep", with recommendation that it also be moved/renamed or with recommendation that a wp:RM be opened to consider that move. ("Move/rename" alone is not a proper AFD outcome; it is not an option tracked in wp:AFDSTATS; "Keep" properly describes the action of keeping the content, and moving/renaming is an editing decision like other editing to be decided at Talk page of the article.) --Doncram (talk) 16:14, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
