Article on for-profit corporation is mentioned on a handful of non-RS fan sites (e.g. onlysp.com) but no RS are discovered during a standard BEFORE (newspapers.com, JSTOR, Google News, Google Books). One offline source ("Designers and Dragons" by the game company "Evil Hat Productions" [1] is included in the article itself. The company once raised $30,000 on Kickstarter. We don't even have enough info to source the company's physical location (which is unlisted on its website); based on the copyright notice on the website this appears to be a sole proprietorship run by a guy who has a full-time job elsewhere.

Dream Pod 9

Dream Pod 9 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article on a company that makes a WWII game has been sourced entirely to its own website for the last 14 years. Maintenance tags were placed on the article six years ago and have yet to be acted upon.

A standard BEFORE (JSTOR, newspapers.com, Google News, Google Books) fails to find any RS. The only sources uncovered in BEFORE are a press release [2], an incidental mention on a Finnish blog [3], and an incidental mention on something called vg247.com [4]. Per WP:GNG, notability must be demonstrated, not simply declared or asserted. In the absence of any reliable sources of any kind (let alone significant coverage) the article fails the GNG.

  • Snow Keep Merge and Redirect to Heavy Gear - I am changing my mind, because now that we have improved sources and content, it would make sense to consolidate them to the best-known product until we have time to document the company itself more thoroughly using the dead tree sources. Plus, ideally, I would like to expand the author/game designer articles more than I would emphasize the publisher itself, though I know that's a personal choice and goes against some traditions in the field. Newimpartial (talk) 16:02, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For reference, the original !vote text follows - in addition to the substantial discussion in Appelcline's Designers & Dragons (a parennial reliable source in this field), Dream Pod 9 is also cited in Chandler & Chandler's Fundamentals of Game Development (2011), Mogensen's "Dice-rolling systems in RPGs" (2007), Williams and Rooney's "From book to field" (2018), the company has also been discussed on gizmodo, guildcompanion.com, gamemonkeys.com and Pyramid, and that's without even looking for the print reviews that were dominant in the 1990s when the Pod came to prominence. Therefore, snow keep. Newimpartial (talk) 01:51, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Source review:
-Morgensen's "Dice-rolling systems in RPGs" (2007) Can we get an OCLC number on this? Worldcat doesn't seem to think this book exists (see: [5]).
-Chandler & Chandler's Fundamentals of Game Development (2011) The only reference I can find to the company in this book is the following: "Heavy Gear is a trademark of Dream Pod 9". Proof of existence is not proof of notability.
-Williams and Rooney's "From book to field" (2018) ... according to the publisher it is "an online publishing imprint that makes books and games available as PDF ... as free downloads" [6] - this book (ebook?), according to Worldcat, is not currently held by any known library in the world. While I appreciate not every publisher is a Springer or Taylor & Francis, I question if a publisher with no office, no employees, and which creates PDFs it hands out for free (but no library will accept for cataloging) is a reliable source as we generally understand the term.
-"the company has also been discussed on ... http://www.gamemonkeys.com/reviews/g/gearkriegrpg.htm gamemonkeys.com" - "gamemonkeys.com" is an anonymously written site (see: [7])that doesn't show evidence of a gatekeeping process and has not been sourced by other RS, ergo, is not itself RS
-"the company has also been discussed on ... gizmodo, guildcompanion.com... Pyramid" - No, I believe that's incorrect. These are WP:PRODUCTREVs of specific products which already have WP pages and are not discussions of the company itself; per WP:COMPANY and WP:NOTINHERITED companies do not inherit notability from the products they manufacture
Thanks, Chetsford (talk) 02:08, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have fixed the Pyramid citation. For Mogensen, Chandler & Chandler, and Williams and Rooney, perhaps you would have more luck using Google Scholar?
As we have preciously discussed, Chet, NOTINHERITED does not apply to the relationship between creators and their works; in particular, creators do indeed inhetit notability from their works. In the case of Dream Pod 9, many of their creations, including their four most notable games, are creations of the studio as a whole and in some cases, such as the Silhouette system, these works have exclusively corporate ownership without being the product of one or more individual authors. The production of notable games and other intellectual properties does indeed grant notability, just as Disney would be notable for the IP it has created, bought or stolen (q.v. the birthday song) even if its corporate shenanigans did not occupy our business pages. Newimpartial (talk) 02:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"... perhaps you would have more luck using Google Scholar?" No, I'm afraid I didn't. Chetsford (talk) 02:44, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That is strange to me, as it is how I found those sources. Have you had trouble searching using Google Scholar before? Newimpartial (talk) 03:03, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's great. So, what is the OCLC number to "Dice-rolling systems in RPGs"? Or a DOI number? Honestly, at this point, just anything to prove it exists. Second request. Chetsford (talk) 03:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you can't use Google Scholar for yourself, how does it become my responsibility to do it for you? Newimpartial (talk) 03:26, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While it's unusual in an AfD to repeatedly refuse to provide an OCLC, LOC, or DOI number — or, indeed, any information by which one could verify that an offline source actually exists — I'll AGF it does. Chetsford (talk) 05:06, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"creators do indeed inhetit notability" Can you demonstrate this is a WP policy by linking to it? Per WP:PRODUCT "a specific product or service may be notable on its own, without the company providing it being notable". Chetsford (talk) 02:48, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NCORP specifically excludes "entertainment groups [and] co-authors ... covered by WP:Notability (people). The latter specifies that creators may demonstrate Notability by having created "a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of ... multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." This precisely describes the case of Dream Pod 9. Newimpartial (talk) 03:03, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"WP:NCORP specifically excludes "entertainment groups [and] co-authors covered by WP:Notability (people)" I regret to inform you that "Dream Pod 9" is not a person. Chetsford (talk) 03:14, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dream Pod 9 is the corporate form for a group of creatives ( designers and authors) to which NCREATIVE applies. If you were to read the entry in Designers & Dragons, this would be clear to you. Please try not to engage in Straw Man argumentation or to be facetious. Newimpartial (talk) 03:26, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Dream Pod 9 is the corporate form for" Yes, that's correct. Therefore, WP:NCORP applies. WP:NBIO applies to natural, not juristic, people. Chetsford (talk) 04:09, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Chetford, the carveout from NCORP applies to groups of "natural" people, regardless of their "juristic" status, e.g. "groups of inventors". Please try to keep up. Newimpartial (talk) 11:55, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral/Keep? The way I see it, if Dream Pod 9#Properties truly are notable, then having made multiple notable games makes that game maker notable. However, none of those games are greatly sourced (Heavy Gear being an exception, that one clearly is notable), so they are possibly all deletable. It's also possible that everything, as standalone entries, aren't notable, but could be merged together and as a whole attain notability. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:52, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for participating in the AfD. Just for full disclosure, I plan to sequentially nominate each of Dream Pod 9 Inc.'s products (except Heavy Gear, for reasons you noted) for deletion after this closes as they all seem to be advertisements that fail WP:N. Chetsford (talk) 06:59, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Chet, you can do what you like, but as all of the Dream Pod games with articles were extensively reviewed, they will all pass the GNG, and so you will simply ending up wasting your own time. Would you not rather take up another hobby, like billiards? Newimpartial (talk) 11:55, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I added one source that includes several pages of discussion on the company and its games; I will see if I can find anything else, but the coverage is likely to be print sources rather than online coverage. At minimum, if this does not go to "Keep" then I think it should be merged somewhere - perhaps to its most well-known game Heavy Gear, or to a list of game publishers, or something. BOZ (talk) 20:20, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Additionally, there is a product review from Dragon magazine which discusses the company's Silhouette game system; the system does not have its own article, so I believe it should be discussed in the company page, and I believe that the review does help since it discusses the system. BOZ (talk) 16:58, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Eh. Saw this mentioned at WP:RSN. WP:NOTINHERITED seems pretty straightforward here. We need significant coverage of this subject in reliable independent sources. So far every single source I've seen is a brief mention of the company in an article that's about one of it's properties. E.g. "published by Dream Pod 9". Even if we lump a pile of those together, we still don't have notability. A corporation isn't an artist or a band. Companies aren't "creative professionals" even if the people who work for it are creative professionals. None of the links above are to significant coverage of this subject, and "go Google Scholar it" with strange evasiveness about particulars is not reassuring. I went ahead and did so, finding e.g. Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in RPGs. The only mention it has of the subject is this line: "One of the simplest is to roll a number of dice equal to the ability and then pick the highest result, as is done in Dream Pod 9's 'Silhouette'." Again here there is nothing at all about this subject, and its product only given as a quick example. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:39, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The relevance of the citation is that it is a scholarly author writing within their area of expertise, and the die-rolling system in question is referred to and cited as authored by "Dream Pod 9" as a collective author - it is an IP that cannot be attributed to an individual within the studio, and is therefore a perfect example of how the developers work. This is directly equivalent to the "groups of inventors" discussed explicitly in the carveout from NCORP (who may also operate legally as a partnership or LLC) to which NBIO also applies. If this is not clear, the chapter (!) on Dream Pod 9 in Designers & Dragons Vol. 3, an impeccable RS in this field, should be sufficient to explain. Newimpartial (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dream Pod 9 peaked in influence and commercial appeal in the 1990s, so these internet searches are not beside the point. Please remember that notability is not temporary, and the Pod was covered reasonably extensively in print publications in the 1990s. Newimpartial (talk) 02:55, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good work on finding more sources, Guinness. BOZ (talk) 16:02, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Guinness - one of the sources you've added returns a dead link and the other doesn't appear to actually mention the name "Dream Pod 9" in it. Can you clarify if you meant to add these? Chetsford (talk) 16:50, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads-up, I've repaired the deadlink with a link to an archived copy. The first link does not mention Dream Pod 9 because is a citation for the claim that Protoculture Addicts is the oldest surviving mecha magazine in North America. I've also changed the exact wording of that statement from "the first" to "one of the first", since the source notes five older mecha magazines which have ceased publication.Guinness323 (talk) 17:17, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Just to clarify, while these may or may not be fine sources to use in the article and you've used them appropriately in a "background" section to cite specific claims, they don't contribute to establishing WP:N if they don't even mention the thing about which the article is about. And "colonydrop.com" appears to be (or was, since it's offline) a blog (see WP:SELFPUBLISH) written by "Sean" (no last name) and "Todd" (no last name). Chetsford (talk) 17:33, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • [8] is the source discussed above. Probably self-published, but the author is reasonably well published in the field of CS math. It's certainly independent and probably meets WP:SPS. I tend to favor keeping articles about companies with multiple notable products, and that appears (for now?) to be the case here. Call me a weak keep. Hobit (talk) 23:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Hobit, here is a RS review that dedicates several paragraphs to discussing the Silhouette core system, which is a Dream Pod 9 IP that could not be tied to any one individual author/creator. This review discusses Dream Pod 9 explicitly (rather than relying on NBOOK/NAUTHOR rules for Notability), and may prove helful for this relisted discussion. Newimpartial (talk) 22:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously closed, but backed out as WP:BADNAC. See also WP:Deletion review/Log/2019 July 16#Dream Pod 9.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- RoySmith (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments after DRV and relisting: Note that the product review from Dragon was added after the first Delete response above, and although it was added before the second Delete response (which seemed to misunderstand that the company is still actively producing products the way it once was, although I am not sure if they are even active at all to be honest) and I do not think the user took that source into account. The relevance in my opinion of that source is not so much that it includes reviews of the games, but that it comments on the Silhouette system, which does not have its own article, and is the core element of the company's games, and I believe that an independent source such as that is necessary to include in the article so that we have more about the Silhouette system. I added the source Designers & Dragons after both delete votes, which contains several pages of information and commentary on the company. I will AGF from Hobit's response that the self-published "Dice Rolling Mechanisms in RPGs" comes from a reliable author in the field of CS math. I believe that the commentary from "Next Generation" magazine – an independent reliable source from the video game industry – is most useful in its contrasting the smaller DP9 with the much larger FASA, as the video game publisher at the time had gone from licensing FASA's BattleTech to DP9's Heavy Gear. I have not seen the "PC Gamer" source to know what it says about the company. I believe that the above is enough to meet the minimum for the WP:GNG, and thus I affirm my initial Keep, although if consensus ultimately disagrees with me, then I think we have enough to show that rather than deleting it should be merged somewhere. Meanwhile, I will see what else I can do to find more sources for this topic, which are likely not easily found online due to how long ago this company was at its peak. BOZ (talk) 22:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd strongly suggests adding something based on The Alexandrian piece I cited just above. Newimpartial (talk) 22:17, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Came here from a closed DRV. Can a company be notable for having products which were reviewed given WP:NOTINHERITED? The only potentially significant coverage of the company I've seen are the two Lien Multimedia articles published within four days of each other, unfortunately require a subscription to view completely, and I'm not sure that's a reliable source, or whether the articles are PR. Many of the links provided above are links to reviews of the company's products and are not of the company themselves. Even if we're going to start accepting self-published academia, Dream Pod 9 is only mentioned once and as a throwaway, which may be a good source for the article but not to demonstrate notability. Even assuming Designers & Dragons is a good offline source for WP:GNG, there's still not enough here to pass WP:NORG. If anyone has offline sources which discuss the company and not the company's products, please let me know. I also don't mind if the game-specific prose gets merged into its respective game. SportingFlyer T·C 22:38, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Sadly, this is still not a policy-compliant reading of NOTINHERITED in relation to CREATIVE. Also, the reliability of 'Designers & Dragons' has been previously affirmed, and multi-paragraph discussions of Dream Pod 9's Silhouette Core system are not "trivial mentions" per policy. Newimpartial (talk) 22:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Guinness323 apparently has access to Lien Multimedia as he just added it to the article; you may want to ask what is in there? BOZ (talk) 01:17, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Le Lien Multimedia (The Multimedia Link) is a respected Quebec-based French-language on-line magazine that focusses on modern media, everything from movies and TV to video games, cellphone apps, animation, the music industry, etc. They are a news organization with independent reporters, not a PR firm. Recent articles include artificial intelligence in the creative industries; Minecraft as a social learning tool for kids; the LabLabLab Project about Game Studies at Concordia University; the Montreal band Off with Their Heads; headliners for the Aboriginal Presence Festival; etc. Their articles about Dream Pod 9 are not trivial.Guinness323 (talk) 02:53, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly, Chetsford does not read French, so he is likely to remain from Missouri on this source, contra WP:V. Newimpartial (talk) 03:22, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Engadget is presumably also a WP:RS, no? Good work, Guiness323. :) BOZ (talk) 03:43, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ICv2 as well, great work! BOZ (talk) 04:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Engadget is certainly RS but the article is not about Dream Pod 9. It's about one of its products. ICV2 is RS but as a trade outlet should be treated like we do Business Journals ... fine for facts, not N. I know many people !voting here are almost exclusively involved in RPG articles, but speaking as someone who is not I hope you are able to empathize that the frustration some of the other delete !voters seem to express originates out of the unique situation we find ourselves in having to continuously reiterate these points throughout this thread since they're not ones that typically require explanation in most AFDs. It is most certainly not personal nor does it represent more stringent standards being applied to the topic of fantasy role play. It's wonderful we have so many editors here on both sides of the fence genuinely interested in improving WP. Chetsford (talk) 07:56, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I likewise hope that you are able to empathize with the frustration on the other side of the argument, that people are doing their best to find the best sources we can, while it seems like you put your best effort into striking down everything we do. If your current deletion campaign against RPGs continues, then understand you are going to be seeing the same people commenting about a lot of the same things, which is not going to change just because you feel we are being repetitive and frustrating your attempts to delete these articles. I'm going to disagree with your self-assessment that you are not applying more stringent standards than at least most other editors do; take for example this recent thread on your talk page about a draft you rejected by User:Zxcvbnm, a user whom I consider from past encounters to be more in favor of deleting articles that don't prove their notability than not. You rejected that AFC and poo-pooed most of the sources he provided, yet just as soon as you rejected it another user quickly moved the article into mainspace and more sources were added; would you reject those sources as well? The video game WikiProject is a huge and successful one, and I think if you saw some of the articles there which are in as bad shape if not worse than the average tabletop RPG your head would spin - and there are probably ten times as many VG articles as there are RPG articles! So if you want to experience less frustration in life, my advice would be to lighten up. Otherwise, if you prefer to fight it out with a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality just because other editors disagree with you, or maybe you are trying to prove some kind of WP:POINT with this slew of deletions, watching people scurry around gleefully like ants running away from a kid with a magnifying glass, then we will continue as we have been. Yes, we are genuinely interested in improving Wikipedia, or we would not bother. I advised you sarcastically in the DRV on this article to go after the low-hanging fruit instead of articles that might actually have a chance like this one, although I really did mean it. I see every RPG AFD that you start; some I do not even respond to, and some I give a half-hearted response to because I am letting you have those. If you see me fighting instead, then know I really do believe in that topic's potential, and I do believe that this one deserves the Keep vote I gave it. Understand that I am probably not alone when I say I do not find it wonderful that you are pursuing deletion in this subject area so heavily, nor would I consider deletion or redirection of this article an improvement to Wikipedia, when I feel that the article has room for improvement. I don't think I have anything more to add to this AFD than I did before, and I think we should leave it to any new respondents to add their take on what has already been said and done. BOZ (talk) 11:38, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
people are doing their best to find the best sources we can I think that's wonderful and do empathize. I have written hundreds of articles and understand it can be a challenge to find good sources. Sometimes I've even had to abandon a draft before moving it to Mainspace upon coming to realize I did not have the minimum threshold of quality sourcing. I assure you I'm not on any type of "campaign" with RPGs. I'm actively involved in WP and specifically seek out articles other editors have slapped refimprove tags on so as to either improve or, if not possible after my best efforts, AfD. It just happens a huge percentage of articles I come across are RPG stubs. The situation is so acute that it is almost impossible to avoid. Chetsford (talk) 17:58, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So... it's simply coincidence that you have sent about 10 RPG articles to AFD within the last month alone, when I had not seen any AFD activity from you in this area for several months? You are not specifically looking for RPG articles to see if they were something that should be deleted? It was just a coincidence that when you first declined the AFC draft for Xanathar's Guide to Everything (which was not written by me, but I requested the AFC review because the new editor was having trouble doing it so it was my name you saw on the AFC review request) and then saw that same new user improve it enough where you changed your mind and accepted the article, that it was only after that when you started sending RPG articles to AFD again? I'm perhaps misinterpreting the fact that when I look on [[9]] and see your name starting 36 AFDs between Aug 13 2018 to Nov 26 2018, and then absolutely nothing at all until June 24 of this year when it started up again; I am just imagining that long gap between two bursts of continual AFD nomination in the same area, just a coincidence instead of an actual pattern? Somehow when you were looking at articles to see whether they could be saved or should be deleted, you only saw RPG articles that you perceived as deletable in those two periods of time and you just happened to spot a lot of them all together like that? You didn't just forget about deleting after RPG articles towards the end of last year or get distracted with something else, only to be reminded of it when you saw my name a month ago on an AFC review for an RPG article? I'm just trying to understand your comments, and how I should interpret your suggestion that it is "almost impossible to avoid" this "huge percentage of articles" you come across all being from the same area for four months, then none at all for seven months, and here we are back again like nothing happened. Maybe it's not for me to understand. If you see all these RPG articles in your efforts to improve sources, can you come up with one single example where you have added any source at all to any RPG article? I can't recall one, but it would help ease my mind a bit if you could think of one. BOZ (talk) 20:28, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, I have no power to delete articles on WP. When articles on fantasy role play are deleted, it's the WP community that has made that decision. Beyond that, I'd suggest the rest of your comment, which seems to address issues not directly related to this specific article, would be more appropriate for a Talk page and would be happy to continue it there.

  • Comment - Reaffirming my delete !vote. The Dragon source is, like basically everything else, about the games and says practically nothing about the company. For those curious, though it's not yet linked from the article, it's available here. As far as I can tell the keep rationale rests entirely on Designers and Dragons, which I'm unable to find even a preview of. All I can find of it is that it's a Kickstarter project, which doesn't instill me with confidence. May be perfectly reliable, but since I'm still yet to see even one other source that provides more than a brief mention, I'm still on the side of delete. These sources about the games. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:39, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    FYI, the RSN discussion of 'Designers & Dragons' is here. Also, I wouldn't see a multi-paragraph discussion of the Silhouette Core system, a major IP created by and consistently attributed to Dream Pod 9 in the RS, to be a trivial mention. Newimpartial (talk) 22:46, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Also note that Rhododendrites' !vote preceded the addition of French-language business press to the article, and should be weighed accordingly. Newimpartial (talk) 03:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment on newly added sources and "creative carve-out" argument: In reaffirming my delete !vote I examined all the newly added sources (or those mentioned in the AfD, such as the personal Wordpress blog/online resume of an aspiring actor named Justin Alexander "TheAlexandrian.net" [10]) and found that, in each case, they amounted to single line mentions of the company or were in objectively non-RS outlets, therefore, did not meet WP:SIGCOV. I also found CThomas's and Masem's arguments here [11] to be compelling, in which they examined whether a "creative carve out" for companies of this type exists. Beyond that, I don't believe the interests of civil discussion are served by WP:DHCYCLEing every comment so will probably leave my input on this subject at that pending this AfD's eventual closure. I very much appreciate the time and valuable input both sides of the debate have put into this interesting discussion. Chetsford (talk) 23:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note that those esteemed editors also held that game publishers with four or five Notable works to their credit should be treated with a more relaxed Notability standard than NCORP, and you agreed, so perhaps that should also be taken into account by the closer.
Also note that acting credits do undermine anyone's reliability as a game reviewer, as Wil Wheaton can attest. And Chetsford, your rather restrictive and FRINGE views about self-published RS have been repeatedly repudiated in the past and should (evidently) carry no WEIGHT here. Newimpartial (talk) 23:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You don't mean Whil Wheaton, do you? BOZ (talk) 23:27, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - So this is the source being highlighted as a discussion-changer to the point that Newimpartial is trying to undercut other people's !votes for not factoring it in. It's a weird single-paragraph promotional bit that seems to exist only to say "here's a quote from this guy". Could it be reliable? Possible, I guess, but the website takes user submissions and seems to be by/for the industry. Regardless, the basis for it is a quote from someone who works with Dream Pod 9, so even if it's not promotional it doesn't do much for significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to Heavy Gear – Also here from the closed DRV. The article fails to meet NCORP/GNG per source analysis. Appelcline's chapter (if it's an WP:RS; I don't have confidence in that RSN thread) focuses on DP9's predecessor Ianus, and on DP9's product line, but not on the company DP9 itself. Moby Games is user-generated content. Liem Multimedia is a local trade publication interviewing the president of a local company in the trade. The Alexandrian (assuming it's a valid WP:SPS), ICv2 and Engadget are product announcements. Dragon is a product review. All the other links in this AfD are brief mentions, mostly in product reviews. Notable products don't make a company notable. We don't have even basic information about this company, such as it's incorporation date, ownership, management, number of employees, units sold, revenue, distribution, and so forth. The company's notable products already have articles, like Heavy Gear. The company's Silhouette game system a.k.a. SilCORE is already covered at Heavy Gear#Silhouette CORE RPG Rules. "Dream Pod 9" is probably a useful search term, though, so it should be kept as a redirect to the company's main product, Heavy Gear. What little is known about the publisher can all be included in a section at Heavy Gear. – Levivich 15:40, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, a merge and redirect to Heavy Gear would be fine for now, and the company article could be rebuilt after the other game like articles have been fleshed out and the corporate info has been properly document. I have changed my !vote accordingly.
    However, Leviv, the RSN thread on Applecline was started and canvassed by the source's most hostile skeptic, so the fact that it does find the source reliable should be considered a good baseline. And I don't know what version of the source you read, but the chapter in Volume 3 dedicates most of the page count to post-1995 Dream Pod, with only a couple of pages for pre-1995 Ianus. Newimpartial (talk) 16:02, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    The first page or so of Appelcline's chapter focuses on Ianus for about the first page, and then the remaining pages do focus on DP9. It does give the founding of Ianus as 1985 by Claude Pelletier, and that DP9 split off from them in 1995. In my experience, smaller game publishers like this rarely if ever report things like number of employees, units sold, revenue, or distribution figures publicly; I don't even know if bigger companies like Wizards of the Coast do that. BOZ (talk) 16:06, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks to both of you for your comments. The version of Appelcline I'm reading is this one (pp. 116–124). Going through it page by page: 116–118 are about Ianus. DP9 discussion starts on page 119 with Meanwhile, the now fully independent Dream Pod 9 kept the majority of Ianus’ dozen employees, overseen by Pierre Ouellette. They kept the roleplaying titles too, of course, including the brand-new Project A-Ko. The newly independent Dream Pod 9 didn’t ever supplement Project A-Ko. Instead they created a second Silhouette game, Heavy Gear (1995). The rest of 119–120 is about Heavy Gear. Jovian Chronicles on 120, Tribe 8 on 121, some other games and Silhouette on 122. Granted, page 123 is mostly about DP9's transitions around 2004. Page 124 is half a page about DP9's future products. All in all, these nine pages mostly cover Ianus and DP9's games, with only about one page being spent on DP9 itself, cumulatively. Call that SIGCOV and it's still just one example, and we need multiple. We'd need at least another one like Appelcline, which we don't have. As for that RSN, I don't have confidence in it because of who closed it, and because it looked like it was closed based on a counting of votes (note the table of votes). I thought the 120 fact checkers point was rather persuasive, though, and there were good arguments both for and against independence, but I think that source would benefit from a new RfC with a better close (the result may be the same, I'd just have more confidence in it if it were "cleaner"). I think if you compare the information available about DP9 with what we have on TSR or Wizards of the Coast, the contrast is very strong; there is rich detail (about the companies' employees, layoff numbers, units sold, etc.), sourced to multiple independent RSes. I agree that this level of sourcing doesn't exist for smaller RPG publishers, and I think thats because they're not notable. :-) In fact, I think lack of sourcing proves that they're not notable. Heavy Gear is notable; Silhouette may be notable in its own right; but DP9 just isn't. Outside of very few examples (Appelcline and maybe Lien), all of which come from within the industry (as opposed to "pure", non-RPG-publishing media like Boingboing.net or Gizmodo), nobody has ever really paid attention to this company, as far as I can tell. If additional examples of SIGCOV are uncovered, the redirect could always be turned back into an article, as Newimpartial suggests. – Levivich 16:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the link to the book--I don't think I'd ever seen a copy online. I'd say the chapter on DP9 is pretty solid. Yes, it starts on Ianus, but it would be more than reasonable to include that history in this article and redirect Ianus to here. While it was more than just a name change, it appears to have been the same company. And yes, how their products were designed and received is really coverage of the company. I mean the chapter is called "Dream Pod 9" after all. So the author clearly felt he was writing about the company.
I personally think the book chapter has great coverage. It appears to meet all the requirements of an RS. The sum of all the other sources, IMO, meets the requirement for "multiple". One good source (and it's rare to find this good of a source on a smaller company) and lots of weaker ones is certainly enough to write a solid article. Hobit (talk) 20:43, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per BOZ. I know Chetsford mentioned putting other DP9 properties (Jovian Chronicles, Tribe 8, and Gear Krieg, etc) up for deletion. Should those be merged with DP9? I don't think merging DP9 & all of its properties with Heavy Gear makes the most sense. Sariel Xilo (talk) 21:16, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment - all of these games meet NBOOK and the GNG (even if the current articles may not) so in my view it would be better to make sure each of them holds two reviews plus Alpelcline citations, as a miminum, so that each article transparently meets GNG. Chetsford is going to continue with his "from Missouri" attitude and his incompetent BEFORE practices, so the solution is to produce a situation like the current Jovian Chronicles AfD, where the delete argument is laughable and IDONTLIKEIT is utterly obvious.

An extremely minor, short lived publishing house. It seems to have only published two books, both of which were either written or compiled by the founder of the company. By all accounts, this very well may have been just a one-person show, as a venue to publish his own work. All three of the sources currently in the article are defunct, but none seem to have been valid reliable sources even at the time - one is just brief local coverage, one appears to be a book review and not on the company itself, and the third was a blog. I have been unable to find any additional sources that discuss the company in any meaningful way. I had initially been planning to just redirect the article to Bruce Henricksen, the company's founder (and seemingly sole contributor), however the utter lack of notability for the company, and the dubious assertion of notability of the target article, made me bring it to AFD instead.

This does not appear to be a notable company, either from the references I see in the article or from my own search. Almost all the references are to the company's own web site, and those that are not are either directories or mentions in routine news stories not focusing on the company.

Fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RECENTISM. No indication of lasting encyclopedic significance without people just speculating, and actual notability likely won't be established just by news sources reporting on it if at all until after the event. The title also doesn't seem like a useful redirect/merge. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural note. Kingofaces has stubified the article while the discussion is on-going and removed almost all of the content. I reverted him once on procedural grounds, he reverted me and accused me of edit warring (???) but for any newcomers, please see the article history. SnowFire (talk) 06:39, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article was essentially a stub in either version even before I nominated, and there's very little functional difference in the before and after nomination. General article cleanup was going to happen regardless of AfD or not in terms of redundant or tangential content. WP:ONUS is still policy, and people need to actually gain consensus for new content being added in where problems have been pointed out as part of normal talk page discussion and consensus building. Kingofaces43 (talk) 07:02, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As I just pointed out it was a stub in both versions when the nom actually occurred. If you mean very recent edits, they wasn't gaining consensus, so it shouldn't be any surprise it was removed. I restored it back to as much of a status quo there can be for a newer article in terms of content that actually has made it through some scrutiny under WP:DUE (independent of saying it's actually notable). That's all after responding to requests to do general cleanup like that at WP:FTN in addition to considering if page deletions were needed. Saying I reduced it to a stub as a "procedural note" when that's how it originally was without new content gaining consensus isn't really appropriate here. Kingofaces43 (talk) 07:28, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Part of my rationale in my delete nom is that there's nothing really to merge that isn't already at the current area 51 article section Area_51#Facebook_event_to_storm_Area_51(it sounds like you're really just asking for a redirect instead). In that case though who's really going to search for "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us"? It's fairly nonsensical search term, and at best, we're maybe going to get people searching for "Area 51 raid". Kingofaces43 (talk) 21:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not nonsensical: It's the verbatim title of a Facebook event that has attracted the interest of millions of people, and there are definitely going to be people who search Wikipedia using the full title. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 23:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge because of the frankly massive attention it's received. Though a recent event that also happens to be an internet meme, I feel it should either be merged back into Area 51 or kept. I can't really think of a reason to delete this versus, say any other page about an internet meme. That being said, though, its status as a stub is likely not going away any time soon.WAUthethird (talk) 17:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned in the nom, WP:NOTNEWS is a policy that actively discourages this kind of thinking in notability discussions. Kingofaces43 (talk) 21:43, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, on 2nd thought, delete, as a nonsensical search term. I would keep the information that is on the Area 51 page for now. But not notable on its own for a standalone article. Natg 19 (talk) 21:49, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) The nom and others explicitly mentioned WP:NOTNEWS policy as well as recentism, specifically WP:10YT, giving pretty solid PAG grounding for deletion aside from the search term discussion, so that can't really be ignored. There hasn't really been anything much from keeps in terms of WP:!VOTE (moreso WP:ATA) even addressing those policies between directly contradicting NOTNEWS policy and relevant guidance on what is actually notable under GNG. The guidance for these kinds of things is to mention them briefly at a relevant article (Area 51 as events unfold as is currently done. One can discuss redirects, but there is no justification in policy for saying to keep it outright at this time unless we want to scuttle policies. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:33, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Kingofaces43, I agree that the keep comments that exclusively evaluate the article against GNG should not be accorded much weight. However, I disagree that there is "no justification in policy" for keeping the article—do you have a response to my !vote below that is based on WP:EVENTCRITERIA? – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:46, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
EVENTCRITERIA hadn't really been discussed yet, but it fails bullet 1 (a form of 10YT mentioned above). Right now, it's just an internet joke without any indication of any real-world lasting significance. Bullet two is more focused on reanalysis afterwards, as WP:CRYSTALBALL is policy here. Three and four basically wrap into being routine coverage being more in the realm of an and finally story coupled with NOTNEWS policy again in terms of just simply being widely covered not indicating GNG. Kingofaces43 (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kingofaces43: I'm not understanding which criterion in NOTNEWS would disqualify this article from inclusion; the subject does not fall under "routine news reporting". WP:GNG explicitly states If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. What part of that is not clear? The nom made a notability-based argument, and I responded by referring to GNG. I don't find the nom's NOTNEWS argument to be persuasive. AlexEng(TALK) 21:55, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The combination is NOTNEWS policy when you look in the lens of something like WP:10YT. When this did make the news, it was really more of an "and finally" type of item. Those usually fall under oddities, heartwarming stories, etc. that get news coverage, but aren't really significant news coverage. That context is in the 10YT guidance about recentism. NOTNEWS policy also specifically says, While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. with more guidance on that. So far, this has only been a relative blip in news reporting and hasn't established real GNG. The question isn't is it's covered, but to what degree and depth it is. There's some other good guidance out there like WP:FART that has some parallels here. Tl;dr, my NOTNEWS comments are based in lasting encyclopedic significance and how it's covered by news that's lacking. The Area 51 article handles it just fine though when it comes to WP:DUE treatment of sources. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:06, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep. I believe the subject passes WP:EVENTCRITERIA. I understand the calls for deletion/redirection based on WP:NOTNEWS. However, I think the broad range of coverage in American, British, and Australian media—not to mention the sheer number of people who have responded to the event—is enough that it meets WP:GEOSCOPE and WP:DIVERSE. There's still a part of me that thinks the article might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, since it's not really possible to evaluate the event's lasting significance before it has taken place, and I'm willing to reconsider my !vote after later discussion. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 22:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Its not an event, it was a joke that some people took seriously enough to actually want to attend (and in fact the originator has all but said that no one should turn up), nor how many of those were serious and will actually bother to turn up. It like me saying now I am organizing A "Keep The Grand duchy of Fenmwick British" event, and people deciding to take it as a serious event.Slatersteven (talk) 08:59, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Wait and see" violates WP:CRYSTAL policy. Either it is notable now, or it is not. Articles should never be created in the hopes they may be notable someday in the future. Kingofaces43 (talk) 15:04, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Page views are not a keep justification, but that said, it's all likely spillover traffic from the Area 51 article that had over 500,000 daily page views recently compared to the 15-20k this article got in the last two days when readers realize the same information was already present at the Area 51 page. Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:15, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

JamesG5 WP covers things that are notable. And once the thing is notable it is always notable...even if it fizzles WP:NTEMP . See Noah Raby for example. If a subject gets RS coverage the subject is notable. We also cover similar meme phenomena like this: Dressgate Lightburst (talk) 17:24, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Lightburst you're not wrong & that might be a valid argument here. I was responding to Sir Trenzalore's spcific point above because what he said is NOT valid.

  • Keep - its a repetition of the comments above, but I agree that overwhelming coverage in the media allows for the article to meet WP:GNG.--SamHolt6 (talk) 02:35, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral on the article but do not mention in Area 51 as this violates WP:RECENT. The Facebook joke does not form a substantial part of the conspiracies around Area 51—rather, the joke is built upon the premise that millions of people are already familiar with much more significant conspiracy theories about the site. It is therefore undue weight to have a section on it there. — Bilorv (he/him) (talk) 11:11, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - It's been suggested that it might pass WP:EVENTCRIT, but I believe that is the incorrect standard to use, as the sources all make it clear that no actual event is being planned. It's just a joke. As a joke, it's already faded out. Keeping the article would just be recentism and it would certainly be deleted six months from now when somebody brings it back to AFD. ApLundell (talk) 19:19, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per WP:CRYSTAL but preserve page history. The article does not meet notability requirements at present. While there has been a lot of media coverage, this coverage has been regurgitating the same limited information ad nauseum. There is nothing to say that isn’t already summarized in the Area 51 article. The WP:RAPID exception is most appropriate for rapidly evolving events that will almost certainly meet notability requirements within the near future (often before the AfD is scheduled to close). Here, the Area 51 coverage is not evolving and its far from certain that it will meet notability requirements. Honestly, this article is just too threadbare to keep hanging around for two-months on the chance that it will meet notability requirements after September 20. If it meets notability requirements then, the article can be recreated from its page history. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 20:59, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep or redirect Since I made the above post, the news coverage has both continued and diversified. At this precise moment in time, there is a lot that can be said about this topic. I think lasting significance may still be an issue, but I'm more comfortable invoking WP:RAPID given that this topic continues to develop. Regardless, I still believe that this article should be preserved in some form (even if it is just in the page history or as a draft). It is plausible that this article will have lasting significance; there is absolutely no benefit to striking every trace of this article off the face of Wikipedia and risk having to rewrite it from scratch. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 00:58, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@KingSkyLord: as has been pointed out several times above,this event is either notable and deserves an article now, in which case it should stay, it's not notable enough for an article on its own in which case it should have a mention, or it might be notable in the future in which case an article should be written then... but there is no "wait and see" on Wikipedia. See WP:TOOSOON and WP:NOTCRYSTAL. IMO that's why the best argument is "a note on the Area 51 page THEN if something happens you make a new article." Logical and in compliance with standard practices. JamesG5 (talk) 16:48, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. There are a lot of keep comments the closer will have to outright dismiss here in terms of WP:NOTCRYSTAL and WP:NOTNEWS policy much less GNG. Kingofaces43 (talk) 05:53, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Wingedserif: IMO you make exactly the argument for why we shouldn't keep it. Wikipedia is not KnowYourMeme or similar sites, it's not supposed to be a repository of every whacky internet fad. Part of the reason it's not taken seriously or given credence as legitimate is because of too much attention given to trivial things. You literally just compared a joke internet event to a presidential election. We KNOW the latter is going to happen, and it will have an effect on a lot of lives. This doesn't compare at all, and treating equally makes this whole site look like a joke. JamesG5 (talk) 01:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is the talk page not the official article, and my reference was for example—it was intended just to demonstrate that yes sometimes anticipated events do get articles. I made no claims about significance or actual equivalence, merely that the article is written appropriately for its tentative status. Replace with whatever other example you find less offensive and the argument still stands, humor aside. —Wingedserif (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This may be controversial, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the 2020 Presidential Election is probably a real event that will actually happen. I don't think it's a short-lived joke. ApLundell (talk) 18:57, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Personally I don't think it will happen because it's just a stupid way to get their fifteen minutes of fame. If this is kept, can we at least rename it to "Raiding Area 51 meme" or something shorter than this. HawkAussie (talk) 03:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not Know Your Meme. De Guerre (talk) 05:50, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wait 6 months / keep for now. See Wikipedia:RAPID. This is a classic issue Wikipedia has: some breaking piece of news happens, and it's not clear whether it's a 15 minutes of fame deal that should be justly deleted as WP:NOTNEWS or an actual event. The solution is easy: just give it a little time. If this event blows over, then merge it to Area 51, no big deal. If this event actually happens, there'll already be an existing article to build off of. Weirder, seemingly more trivial stuff has become real events worthy of articles before. SnowFire (talk) 06:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment. Some !delete voters have brought up WP:CRYSTAL, both here and on the talk page. But CRYSTAL really is about sourcing, and there's actually been an expansion of sourcing with articles in the likes of the NY Times and the like. It's okay to have sourced commentary about potentially future events, and to the extent this is about a meme, it's something that's happening right now. (Also, in reply to ILIKEIT accusations, at risk of pointing out the obvious, there's sourced content that meets WP:GNG that is stupid as hell. Not "i like it", more like "it's stupid but sourced.") SnowFire (talk) 05:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There's pages on Wikipedia for memes that have garnered much less popularity and media attention. So far, this has proved to be the meme of 2019, with plenty of reliable sources describing the phenomenon and also starting somewhat of a craze, inspiring similar events around the globe. PraiseVivec (talk) 12:06, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Meh we do essentially non-existing things all the time, so why not here. There's a bunch of votes here, in either direction, that comment on whether or not this will happen, how stupid it is, etc.--sounds LIKE A BUNCH OF BOOMERS BEFORE NAP TIME.

Many of those keeps will be essentially tossed out in terms of Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#Arguments_without_arguments. It's not uncommon at all for hot topics to get a bunch of votes like that which amount to strawpolling. In the end, the policy-based discussion mostly revolves around outright deletion or just having the redirect to Area 51, which unfortunately the closer has to take a bit more effort than normal to sort through. Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:17, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    (ec) Well, that's a bit condescending to insist I didn't read WP:G5. There had been no substantial edits to the article after it was created; the only edits were deletion nominations and a copyvio removal. These do not disqualify it from G5. Neither does the idea that the banned user didn't create any other articles. That's not in G5 anywhere, and in any case it is wrong because they also re-created Kevin_Concepcion and Tony Concepcion, which were also deleted. Reyk YO! 12:15, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete- well, since WP:G4 and WP:G5 speedies have been declined on frivolous grounds we'll have to do this the long way. The first AfD found that there was not enough substantial, reliable sourcing to sustain this article. The new incarnation, started by a sockpuppet of a banned editor, is largely identical to the deleted version except for the removal of a copyright violation. Obviously the situation regarding notability hasn't changed since last time, and looking at the state of the sourcing I think the previous AfD got it right. Reyk YO! 12:51, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The first AfD wasn't great, but it was only a few months ago and is still good law. The re-created article is substantially similar to the first one, and was re-created by a sockpuppet.

  • cluster The G4 and G5 appear to be valid. That said, the sources in the article appear to easily clear the GNG bar. Policy says delete for the G4 and G5. Which means the right thing to do, IMO, is for someone else to write an article which is substantially different. Which is dumb as the current article is actually quite good. G4 and G5 exist for good reasons. But in this case, it deletes an article which meets the GNG and is actually pretty well written. Hobit (talk) 18:06, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: On WP:NEXIST basis. I will attempt to convince you of the same (I do have a bias as the creator of the article.)
  • I started creating this one back when I wouldn't first collect sources before starting on the article. This actor is notable. But I can't prove it on strict Wikipedia standards. I don't have access to offline sources and we don't have a reliable and prolific online source on entertainment in Nepal. So, having started the article, I left the article with all the hopefully non-controversial sources I could find, hoping I'd at least established that the actor is real and notable based on NPOSSIBLE.
  • First off, this is the state of the article on the most successful Nepali actress in history. This is the case because she went in decline before the internet became a big thing in Nepal. It's the same case with our subject, although she was not nearly as successful. I could beef up both with iffy sources. I chose not to.
  • For example, this gives 23 film credits for our subject and this one gives 25. Almost all of them were as lead actress or co-lead as love interest of the protagonist. I didn't use these sources because they're not standard reliable sources but on the other hand, I think they do meet the spirit of the WP:SOURCE statement that appropriateness of any source depends on the context since there's little reason to fabricate filmography of a retired actress who's moved on from her profession as well as country, not to mention these sources are used in almost all other articles on Nepali film.
  • I am certain there's plenty of offline RS coverage of her during her prime, which was most of the 90s and early 2000s. I can see at least half a dozen credits of those 23-25, which anyone from Nepal who knows anything about Nepali film would know of. Like: Aago - A big name pro-maoist propaganda feature released during the maoist insurgency, which generated plenty of controversy and earned some dough at the back of that controversy, but also got banned and generated freedom of expression/censorship debates, which was had again when it re-shot and re-released after the insurgency ended, even leading to a sequel.
  • This is the extent of what I'm willing to say in defence of this article. I do think it will contribute to systemic bias in Wikipedia if it is deleted, but other than that I am not really going to lose sleep over this one. I certainly wouldn't create this article now, but I wouldn't go as far as deleting it either.Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 18:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It, nonetheless, supports NPOSSIBLE. As such, I appreciate the effort. I don't think we ought to be judging who understands which policies, with any amount of certainty. Let's leave that to uninvolved editors who will close the discussion. Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 08:30, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Usedtobecool:, No it is not like we need to leave the things to the closing administrator. This not how AfDs work. This is not the forum to create indiscriminate possibilities to misguide the discussion and eventual road to consensus. We are trying to reach consensus and community needs to discuss before reaching the consensus. We need to make policy based rationale to keep or delete the article. Read and understand these policies and guidelines, this what is written in WP:BEFORE. I have made policy based nomination, I did my research before bringing this article here. I came across few passing mentions that I deemed not enough for demonstrating notability. Even you made it clear that there are lack of online sourcing and you have not produced any instant of offline sourcing yet. This is not the kind of sourcing that is required to be discussed to demonstrate WP:GNG. Please read WP:DISCUSSAFD, there are some expectations from the users who are taking part in AfDs. You don't need to vote on everything. Hitro talk 10:09, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
All I meant to say was, the first sentence of your comment was sufficient to make your point as it relates to this AfD. Perhaps we disagree on that, but since that's not what we're trying to resolve here, let's leave it at that. To be clear, I do think I've supplied enough evidence to assure editors that offline sources do/must exist even if I can't provide them. But I do understand that ... once an article's notability has been challenged, merely asserting that unspecified sources exist is seldom persuasive, ... and so I leave it at the capable hands of the community to decide its fate. My non-chalance is mainly to do with how little there is to write about the subject currently, and how easily the content can be recovered/recreated when the sources become available (neither of which is a reason to delete though).

  • Keep: Search of Native Name (सारंगा श्रेष्ठ) gives a some good references like 1, 2 that provides WP:SIGCOV of the actress in respect to her acting career. Given that this is one of the oldest movies in Nepal, it is hard to find reference for the actress and the movie. But I found some references that talk about the movie 'Aago' here and here. The later talks also about more of the movies she has worked on. Also WP:GNGACTOR mentions that missing out WP:GNG doesn't mean the actor is not notable and it isn't required to have in-depth coverage of the individual in the reliable source. These references along with the ones already on the page is, I believe, enough to prove her notability, both for WP:SIGCOV and WP:NACTOR. Bishal Shrestha (talk) 00:25, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (Came here because of the ARS posting.) The claim that someone who has written a certain amount about their personal experience with AS is a "public figure" and therefore forfeits all right to prevent Wikipedia editors from digging up obscure details of her life from sources that, for example, briefly namedropped her, and posting them on a very public forum like Wikipedia, is highly questionable. The fact that one of the above links supposedly "calling her out" actually provides photos of 16 other experts (none of whom, I would hazard a guess, have standalone Wikipedia articles) and doesn't give a photo of her seems significant. Having your name appear in this or that publication doesn't make you a "public figure", and given the legal implications of that phrase I would encourage any editors using it in cases like this to refrain from doing so in the future.

The subject doesn't meet WP:GNG, due to lack of WP:RS. The article has self published sources. It also fails following two notability criteria for websites. 1.

I would support the redirect idea. As a general principle (irrespective of this particular case), what makes a blog notable? Surely the author(s) would have to be very notable indeed? and convincing (RS) evidence produced that it is influential. I suggest also that articles in each language wikipedia should be notable enough to stand on their own after a reasonable time has elapsed to bring them up to scratch. If there are significant interwiki sources, it should not be a big effort to meet this test. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please see WP:OTHERLANG. English Wikipedia has different notability guidelines than most other wikis. I don't know German, so I didn't bother to check it. You need to add reliable sources here to prove notability. It doesn't matter, if those sources exist there. Masum Reza📞 19:13, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Masumrezarock100, I have just linked to two reliable sources. I am aware that the fact that the German Wikipedia has an article is at best anecdotal evidence for an AFD here, but the point is that the German article's references show that there are WP:RS talk about the blog, showing that the first of the notability criteria you mention in your nomination is satisfied. —Kusma (t·c) 19:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That isn't true, Masumrezarock100 -- WP:NEXIST means that sources need to exist, not be added to the article. If the German language wiki has reliable sources, that is sufficient. And checking the interwiki is a basic aspect of WP:BEFORE, which should have been done before any nomination. matt91486 (talk) 05:31, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How I'm supposed to know that sources exist if I don't know the language? True, English Wikipedia does permit us to use sources in different languages. But how would I know if I can't identify what sources are reliable? This article has been almost abondoned. Last substantial edit was adding an image on December 2016.

Recency of editing is not a criteria for deletion. matt91486 (talk) 03:33, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This is certainly true but in this case the article has been tagged as needing major improvement for nine years. This has two significant implications: either the npov WP:RSs simply do not exist, or the subject is so non-notable that nobody cares. Or both. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:15, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Matt91486: I will have to agree on this one. This discussion is happening because we want to confirm whether this blog is notable or not. I knew something like this would happen, that's why I started an AfD instead of PRODing it. If you want to improve this article to prove notability feel free to do so. Masum Reza📞 10:46, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@John Maynard Friedman: This is a problematic argument in general: obscurity is not the same thing as WP non-notability; we have articles on plenty of obscure but notable topics that nobody touches for many years. Hence WP:IMPATIENT. It's especially problematic when the article is about a topic mainly of interest for non-English-speakers. The German Wikipedia article gets a good amount of editing interest. I haven't researched this case though so no !vote from me, at least for the moment. (Edit: Have !voted keep after checking the sources.) —Nizolan (talk · c.) 16:08, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Like I said before, the interwiki should be consulted. There are various sources from there that indicate notability. Going through them should have fallen under the onus of the nominator as a step of WP:BEFORE. [20], [21], [22], [23], [24]. These are all third party, reliable sources (and most of them fairly prominent, though Migazin is a bit more narrowly focused). And this is without any additional searching. These sources were already all present in the German article. The book chapter referenced (I just downloaded it) doesn't talk about it extensively, but provides an additional credible academic cite for classifying it as an anti-Islamic blog. As such, Keep. matt91486 (talk) 18:00, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And to reiterate NEXIST: It doesn't matter if the article is improved if the sources to indicate notability exists -- which these do regardless of if I (or anyone else) takes the time to incorporate them into the article. matt91486 (talk) 18:04, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can't understand a single one of them. Google translate does no good. I can easily say that those are third party sources but I can't prove that those are reliable. Masum Reza📞 18:21, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
While I take your point that Google translate doesnt help indicate a source's reliability, you could easily look at the English language wiki articles on Berliner Zeitung, Die Welt, Die Zeit, Der Tagesspiegel. matt91486 (talk) 18:43, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete as copyright violation, numerous times over, by Apoorvmehta9 (talk · contribs) of copyrighted (″Copyright © 2012–2013 Udaipur Chamber of Commerce & Industry All rights reserved″) non-free text. I checked the UCCI's WWW site with the Wayback Machine, and the text was already there in 2014. All of the way back to the first edit this was a copyright violation; all of the text was someone else's.

Xe instigated one Hell of a mess doing it, too, with the copyright violations spread across the edit histories of two pages, UCCI and Udaipur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and the consequences of bogus copy-and-paste ″moves″ of the original disambiguation article, after the original had been simply overwritten with this, meaning that the edit history of the work on the disambiguation by other people was spread across UCCI (disambiguation) and Udaipur Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with ironically none of it in the edit history of UCCI where the disambiguation was at the time of AFD closure.

I have done a somewhat complex dance to sort this all out, with a history merger to get a single edit history back. The only edit history to retain is that of the disambiguation, which I have restored to UCCI where it originally was.

Some of the people who put in and took out in redirects and stuff and argued in edit summaries will find those edits deleted; I did not consider them worth restoring.

  • Comment: This article is unsourced and reads like an advertisement for the organization, probably much of it copy-and-paste, so a copyright violation. But the subject is I think notable, as indicated by a Google Books search, so technically should be left to be fixed rather than deleted.

  • Delete. There is nothing here worth saving, and some of the article, possibly all of it, is a copyright violation. Compare the six points in Udaipur Chamber of Commerce and Industry#Objectives to the almost identical six points in https://ucciudaipur.com/vision-and-mission/ . Language in the article like "We are proud to claim that the VTC has been able to provide 100% placement support to its graduates. Skill development is a specific area where we seek partnership and support." is surely copied directly from a publicity blurb.

      • Assuming the whole article consists of copies or close paraphrases of copyright-protected material published by the subject of the article, as seems likely, all the content should be deleted and the revision history should be wiped out. The simplest way to do that is to delete the whole article, which is anyway just puff.

  • Delete No sources out there that aren't of his employer, the Mormon Church. Trillfendi (talk) 00:27, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hmmmm - I see a two-page long article in this book, and an apparent one-para article here, which appears to be an RS, but I can't read them as they're not accessible online. However, not being accessible online does not dismiss them sustaining notability. Additionally he is one of ~20-30 LDS churchmen to have received emeritus membership of the First Quorum but I'm not sure how big an award that is. I've got to be honest and say that on balance I think sourcing likely exists out there to sustain this guy's notability but, not having read it, I'm not sure how to vote. I guess this doesn't really help anyone but there you go. FOARP (talk) 09:24, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: Yeah, keep per User:RebeccaGreen's typically excellent work on this thread. FOARP (talk) 18:56, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have searched Newspapers.com excluding Utah (just to make sure that the newspapers were not affiliated with the LDS church), and I have added 11 references. Most of the significant coverage is from the Oakland Tribune, although there is also some from newspapers in Texas and Idaho. I have added more information from these sources. Other papers in Nevada, Montana, Idaho and Ohio provide supporting information. The articles date from 1961-1978, and cover periods before that too. I believe that he meets WP:GNG, or at least WP:BASIC: "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability". I am sorry to come so late to this AfD, but I do wish that editors nominating or !voting on AfDs for people active in pre-internet days would check contemporary news coverage (personally, I think that should be added to the requirements for WP:BEFORE). The sources in an article at the time of nomination are not a valid reason to delete. Perhaps FOARP, and maybe AmericanAir88, would like to have a look at what I've added and see what they think.

The result was draftify. This has been open long enough. There is general agreement that the organization is probably notable. However, there is not agreement as to whether the article is so promotional that it harms the encyclopedia. I'm am going to close this as "draftify", as DGG's suggestion seems the most practical here. It will allow Jovanmilic97 and Cunard to continue to improve the article if they wish, but will take it out of mainspace (and indexing). 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 02:23, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Meeanaya: can you please clarify if you are nominating deletion for (a) lack of notability or (b)because it was self-created by the subject? If the former, I don't think notability is an issue as a quick search of Google Scholar and Google Books throws up with a large number of references in several credible books and academic journals about this organization. A citation needed tag would be a more appropriate response (in fact I now remember I did some reference clean-up on this article not too long ago). If it is the latter, then can you please point to WP policy showing this can be a reason for deletion? Thanks.Deccantrap (talk) 17:38, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Deccantrap:, Seva Mandir is a very common term in India, used by all newspapers, media. If you want to connect to the correct Seva Mandir Udaipur, here is the search result, which are mostly local and non RS. For me, reasons are both, created and edited by the company itself and lack in-depth reliable sources. Meeanaya (talk) 04:11, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks@Meeanaya:. I was not mistaking references to Seva Mandir, Udaipur, with generic use of the term. I am sufficiently conversant with the subject matter to not conflate the specific name with the generic name. Please refer to the following in-depth and reliable sources about Seva Mandir, Udaipur (which are only representative and do not represent the whole body of literature referencing Seva Mandir; these sources do not only mention Seva Mandir in passing, but study its work in detail):
1) Article in the Asia Pacific Journal of Rural development referencing Seva Mandir's work in forestry development
2) The book 'Civil Society and Democratization in India: Institutions, Ideologies and Interests' which references several aspects of Seva Mandir's work in health, education, forestry, and rural development in general
3) Paper titled 'Health, healthcare and economic development' which references the work by Seva Mandir in the area of health
4) Paper in International Journal of Rural Management referencing Seva Mandir's work in development women's self-help groups
You stated your grounds for deletion are both notability and self-creation. The former ground is not strong, based on the above evidence. In case of the latter, please direct me to the policy/policies which indicate self-creation is a criteria for deletion.Deccantrap (talk) 13:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I had a chance to look up consequences of a subject self-creating an article about itself. As per WP:YOURSELF, an organization creating an article about itself is discouraged but not prohibited as long as WP:NPOV and WP:NOTADVERTISING are not violated. Because several independent editors have contributed to the Seva Mandir article and I do not see WP:NPOV or WP:NOTADVERTISING being violated, I don't think self-creation provides grounds for deletion. @Meeanaya: please let me know if I am misinterpreting any of the above factors.Deccantrap (talk) 14:30, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep, for reasons noted above. Correct remedy for deficiency in articles is to edit or attach tags to fix, not deletion.Deccantrap (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify Not suitable for mainspace: insufficient good sources for notability, and written promotionally. . Reading the references above makes it seem that an acceptable article ccould be written, but it has to be written before we can keep it. This is one of the reasons we created Draft space. Before we had craft space, we sometimes used o keep articles usuch as these on the mere promise of rewriting and about two thirds of the time had to remove them when they did not actually get rewritten; now we have a better way. The reason for not writing articles with strong COI is precisely that it is not likely to be a satisfactory article, as is demonstrated once again here--another reason why we have draft space.

  • Delete (Came here because of the ARS posting.) The claim that someone who has written a certain amount about their personal experience with AS is a "public figure" and therefore forfeits all right to prevent Wikipedia editors from digging up obscure details of her life from sources that, for example, briefly namedropped her, and posting them on a very public forum like Wikipedia, is highly questionable. The fact that one of the above links supposedly "calling her out" actually provides photos of 16 other experts (none of whom, I would hazard a guess, have standalone Wikipedia articles) and doesn't give a photo of her seems significant. Having your name appear in this or that publication doesn't make you a "public figure", and given the legal implications of that phrase I would encourage any editors using it in cases like this to refrain from doing so in the future.

  • Merge to Christmas. This is indeed a Spanish-language version of Christmas, right down to the same tracks in the same running order (some have their Spanish titles, but they are the same songs). It does appear to have had its own separate chart position on Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart [42], but there's no reason why that can't be included in the same chart table as for Christmas with a note that it's the chart position for Navidad instead, particularly as there don't seem to be any other sources online for Navidad itself. It's unlikely that the two albums would have been reviewed separately, so the best thing to do would be to merge the Spanish track listing into a new section in Christmas and add a chart table for both albums combined.

    • I should think that that is obvious. The 2008 text is being after the fact sourced to a 2012 book, written by the same person who is writing the wikipedia article, explaining why it is word-for-word identical to the book. The actual source is direct interviews with people by the Wikipedia editor who is doing primary research, writing it up here first in 2008, publishing the same in a book in 2012, and then citing the book as the source in the article in 2014. Uncle G (talk) 15:03, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • That actually is not a problem in and of itself - Wikipedia editors may publish in reliable venues, and said publications can be used as sources on Wikipedia. Furthermore, if the author of the source is also the Wikipedia editor, then copyright is not an issue either (though it should be properly paperworked). The problem, in this instance, is that the book in question - Greek Vehicle & Machine Manufacturers 1800 to Present: A Pictorial History seems to be an e-book lacking a publisher - or a WP:SPS - which is not a reliable source. Icewhiz (talk) 16:01, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

          • That would've been a problem back in 2008-2012 (but we're not discussing an AfD back in 2011, are we?). Has this been published by a reputable publisher - it wouldn't be a problem now (assuming we had copyright all squared away). The problem now is that the 2012 source seems to be a WP:SELFPUBLISHed e-book. Icewhiz (talk) 16:27, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete with the caviat that I agree specifically with Icewhiz's rationale. P:SPS applies to the source, and as such it's not a reliable source to base notability off of. I did some research and the only other independent sources I could find were blogs. However the fact that the author of the book previously drafted content here isn't so much an AfD matter as possibly a WP:NOT one. Regardless, it's not the relevant deciding factor.

  • Strong Keep After Icewhiz pinged me I made a quick search and I found a myriad of specialist Greek trade websites RS referring to various aspects of the conglomerate that is Petropoulos. From bilateral deals with Isuzu Motors to agricultural, banking, and insurance news, including news of the importation of electric buses in Greece by Petropoulos. This is the problem with editors putting up for deletion Greek companies when they have no idea about Greek RS. Here are some of the many RS I found: [43], [44], [45], [46]. [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55]. And no, these are not blogs. They are Greek specialist trade websites and news orgs. Dr. K. 20:24, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per some of Dr.K.'s sources (some aren't great, but the Greek Fortune and others seem OK) + assessment. A 100 year old company, with a history of local vehicle production (private market as well as military - all be it limited in scope and in the past) - is the sort of company that tends to be notable. @Simonm223: in case you want to reconsider (I stand behind the SPS issue, but there are Greek sources available here).Icewhiz (talk) 20:46, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Independent news article  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.25.81.102 (talk) 07:11, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not seeing the significant, in-depth, independent coverage to attest the subject meets WP:BIO or WP:ENT. The lack of indepedant coverage is the pressing issue; the subject is mentioned in several sources, but almost all of the information is WP:PRIMARY (much of which stems from Little's self-written bio in the Huffington Post) and thus does not confer notability on the subject. The article is also overly promotional, which contradicts WP:NOTADVOCACY. More independent sources—especially those which actually make a case for Little having a claim to encyclopedic notability—would be required.--SamHolt6 (talk) 07:20, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]



WP:AUTHOR is a redirect to WP:CREATIVE, a notability category that has fairly solid notability requirements. The question is, can it credibly be said that any non-primary source cited in the article (or that could potential be added to the article) directly indicates the subject meets the points below WP:CREATIVE without inference.--SamHolt6 (talk) 20:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm - I took a look at those. You added her YouTube channel, and her 'Guest Writer' profile on HuffPost - neither of those help with notability. You also added a soft-soap puffy interview with Refinery 29 (primary, doesn't help establish notability). The best was probably the Irish Central piece - but to be honest, it's hard to see that as anything but a piece of churnalism - it's just rehashing details from her own website, and her HuffPost piece about herself. I can't see anything of this contributing to notability. GirthSummit (blether) 19:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Or to look at it another way, the fact that Irish Central, which as far as I'm aware is accepted as a RS, churnalises(?) an article about her, then they must think her notable enough for inclusion.--John B123 (talk) 21:22, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I very much doubt that IrishCentral would stand up to any scrutiny as an RS - writing an article based entirely on quotes from her own website, and from an article she wrote about herself, does not chime well with the 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy' that WP:RS calls for. Maybe it does proper journalism as well, but literally just copying a few quotes from her own self-publicity does not strike me as the sort of reliable coverage we're looking for. GirthSummit (blether) 22:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I created the page originally, and have tried to cut back some of the fluff. I might suggest reposting, and getting rid of some of the clutter on this page for a better discussion. One thing I've noticed is the general lack of sex worker coverage in mainstream GNG sources, which probably leads to a bigger discussion. Baguettelover (talk) 20:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agree about the press coverage, the same applies to porn stars. There is of course also a moralistic attitude of some editors who target articles related to the sex industry. Whilst we argue about the quality of references, the unreferenced tag is used on 225,283 articles, some of which have had the tag for years, yet no nomination for deletion. 56K followers on Twitter shows notability to a lot of people, but unfortunately WP doesn't work that way. --John B123 (talk) 21:17, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
John B123 I don't know whether you were including me in your 'some editors' above? FWIW, I don't believe I've ever nominated any article connected to the sex industry or to pornography to AfD before (feel free to check), and I certainly don't target such pages, I just volunteer at WP:NPP. Working my way through the back end of the queue, I came across this article and reviewed it according to standard NPP guidelines. I found that it did not contain sufficient independent sources to establish notability per GNG, and I couldn't find sufficient sourcing upon searching - so, I nominated to AfD. That's standard procedure with new articles. As for the 225,283 articles you refer to - other stuff exists. The fact that there are unreferenced articles out there is not a reason to deviate from our notability standards on this article. If you want to establish a new notability guideline that applies to people who have a lot of Twitter followers but aren't covered in independent reliable sources, you will need to establish consensus for that. Cheers GirthSummit (blether) 22:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Girth Summit: My comments were certainly not directed at you, but was a general comment. I have been involved in other AfD discussions where there were comments along the lines of "Delete - Nobody wants to read about prostitution on Wikipedia". The same editors tend join in all the AfDs for a given subject. Most discussions have 10 or less editors so half a dozen regulars with a similar outlook skew the decision. Effectively, out of millions of members, or even thousands of active members, only the views of a handful count. "Consensus" isn't really that when it's only the "consensus" of a small fraction of 1% of editors. I find a lot of WP policies, guidelines and processes fundamentally flawed. Taking notability for example; a scientist in a very specialist micro-field of study may have published significant papers in that field, those works cited by many etc, so far exceeds the notability requirements. We end up with an article, no matter how good, that very few people will read because it is such a specialised area. On the other hand, we have articles on popular people that are of interest to a far greater audience that are deleted for notability. In pre-internet day, the only way of verifying facts was by printed matter. WP hasn't moved on that far from those days. Whilst it accepts online sources for verification, generally that is only the online version of printed matter (or previously printed sources that are now online only). Social media has changed the way "news" is reported, sometimes going to social media only. Although this can be problematic, in that I can post "fake news" if I wanted, taking a stance that all social media is unreliable is to shut off to a lot of information.
Again, not directed at anybody in this discussion, whilst obviously WP needs to be policed, the policing is very subjective at times and policies and guidelines are used to further personal views of what WP should or should not include, and a blind eye turned at other times to the same end. WP comes across at times as having too high a proportion of "school teachers" telling people what they are doing wrong, often in a less than friendly way, compared to the number who are trying contribute to the knowledge base. --John B123 (talk) 00:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


See WP:SIGCOV - she was mentioned and briefly interviewed in that news piece, which is about a political pressure group she's involved with - it's not about her, and does not give significant coverage about her. GirthSummit (blether) 13:24, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid that's rather missing the point - we're not discussing whether it's accurate or not. Please actually read the nomination, and the notability guidelines, then feel free to make an argument based on them. GirthSummit (blether) 13:24, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Regarding article status, an editor seeming to have substantial real-world connection to the subject has stated several times, e.g. here and here, that the subject did indeed pay to have the article created. If this is true, it seems NUKEIT is in order. Agricola44 (talk) 20:27, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is true, Agricola44, that editor has said stuff along those lines a few times in different venues. I've actually been considering whether I should ask an admin to revdel those comments though, they are probably a BLP violation since we don't have any evidence that what they are saying is true. I do think the article should be ditched for the lack of notability, and the likelihood that it was WP:UPE strengthens my opinion on that, but still I'm not comfortable with these accusations remaining visible. @Kudpung: - since you voted on this and have communicated with Cyber69surfer about the paid editing stuff, your thoughts on this would be appreciated - do their comments (particularly their more recent ones here, now self-deleted but still visible in the page history) need to be removed? GirthSummit (blether) 21:02, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article and its history have all the hallmarks of a comissioned work. UPE is definitely against policy. With nearly 6mio articles, en.Wiki does not need to keep every possibly keepable article just because it can be kept. Deleting this article will also send a message to its subject that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a vanity platform. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:01, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Google for "AllaTra International Public Movement" and "Lagoda Movement", but when I forced google to include the words verbatim, virtually all secondary sources disappeared.

In the medical field, notability is a bit different. An Indian born dentist going to USA & then winning Best Dentist award in Seattle with 1000s of dentists is a pretty big thing. Especially when we think about barriers being broken for a woman. Quick look shows that 425 Magazine seems to have a significant traffic in Seattle area.

  • Delete - There's a real lack of any decent coverage, so we'd be looking for some kind of presumptive notability on the basis of his sporting achievements, and I'm not sure a bronze medal at a World Cup quite cuts it. No doubt he'll qualify for an article in the future, but not right now. Hugsyrup (talk) 12:26, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The general consensus for most sports is that junior events do not convey notability. WP:NSPORT talks about competing at the highest level and junior events are definitely not that. A podium finish at a world championship would definitely show notability, one at a world cup or university level does not. Papaursa (talk) 21:23, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

None of the events he's had success at are considered the highest level--quoting WP:NSPORT"highest level (such as the Olympics)". Depending on the sport, and the number of entries, world championships may also be viewed as showing notability. World Cup and University games are not at that level. In fencing, World Cup events convey only 1/3 of the ratings points of the Olympics, 40% of that for the world championships, and only 2/3 of the points for zonal championships. That seems to show a clear gap between World Cup and "highest level". The Universiade games have 0 ratings points. Sports like boxing and kickboxing accept competitors ranked in the top 10, while even world championship quarterfinalists in judo have been put up for deletion. As far as I can tell he's not ranked in the top 50 and has never competed at an adult world championship. Some routine sports reporting on lesser events does not suffice for meeting WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 04:04, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As far as FIE ranks (Official), Guillaume Bianchi is:
  • 46th (S) as a Senior in 2018/2019
  • 36th (S), 42.00, in 2017/2018.
So you are completely wrong saying that « he’s not ranked in the top 50 » but you are right for the fact he has never competed yet in a World Championship: ahah, he is an Italian, one of the best countries in foil ! If you think that Universiade is not very important, consult again please the results of the 10 last Universiades (and even the most recent one: Fencing at the 2019 Summer Universiade) and you will notice many great champions (Olympic and World). We do not share the fact that a direct coverage on Rai 2 (the second main channel in Italy, you can see the video here) is enough for the notorious. Seen by millions of people. Live. It is enough for my point of vue.-Binbaksa (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for clarifying. I can't access the FIE website on my computer so I looked at the World Cup article that said he was ranked 64th at the beginning of that event. The point is he's nowhere near the top 10 and you haven't countered the fact that he's never competed at the highest level (World Cups are the 4th highest level event). It's irrelevant that some Universiade winners have become notable because notability is not inherited. Being in a live event on TV is nice, but thousands of American college football players have that every year and yet are not deemed WP notable. Papaursa (talk) 23:10, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep very poor nomination, national award wining person with huge media coverage. — Masum Ibn Musa  Conversation 12:08, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Which is funny, because the only reference mentioning the national award he won mentions neither his name nor the film for which he supposedly won it. If he did indeed win such an award, and the award is indeed competitive and national, then finding a reference that says this shouldn't be so very difficult. Including a reference that supposedly supports this claim but does nothing of the kind, now.... How do you account for this? And while there is indeed an article at the Bangla Wikipedia with its own references, this is only of limited use since each language Wikipedia has its own set of standards for what counts as a valid reference. The references that appear here don't seem to qualify him on the English Wikipedia; I would like to see the references from the Bangla one which meet the standards of the English Wikipedia and which support claims made in this article. The last reference, at least, seems to fall rather short
I am also noting that the English article on the film makes no mention of him winning this award, which is surprising. That article also has no references supporting any claims made in it. A loose necktie (talk) 19:47, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable author, couple of works, fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:GNG. Meeanaya (talk) 05:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Authors-related deletion discussions. Meeanaya (talk) 05:24, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hello. I would argue for notability for two reasons. First, originality of approach, technique, and subject (in the spirit of item 2. of WP:AUTHOR as I read it - apologies, I am a novice), and the author's participation in a notable collective body of work (in the spirit of item 3. of WP:AUTHOR - this point I will seek to clarify, with refs, promptly).

The three works listed are recognised as 'firsts' on the subjects, which would not be notable in itself except that those subjects are significant (an indication of this may be the significant attention / discussion that the corresponding Wikipedia articles generate) - Carlos Duarte Costa, Ngo Dinh Thuc, Brazilian Catholic Apostolic Church. It could be considered remarkable that there has been no previous monograph ever written on these topics, and therefore these first scholarly publications on the subjects are notable.

I will aim to add more references and sources as they appear (the works are fairly recent).

Another aspect of notability, I would argue, is the subject's significant founding role in the UK branch of a significant international movement, the Catholic Worker Movement.

I would argue that it is in keeping with the overall goal to properly identify the significant individuals of a) a notable but comparatively little-researched area of academic and social interest, and b) a notable and comparatively little-researched international social movement.

  • Delete Fails WP:SIGCOV, fails WP:AUTHOR. Much/most of the sourcing is PRIMARY. The claims to notability are co-founding a Catholic Worker's house, sourced to Catholic Worker. Writing 2 books, but no book reviews are given. If, someone manages to find INDEPENDENT reviews of the books in WP:RS publications, please ping me to revisit. I am always willing to change an iVote when shown solid sources. This, however, appears to be PROMO for a non-notable author.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:00, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep To clarify, three book reviews are given, one from a journal (an established print periodical) and two from a serious blog.

  • I am not familiar with "RENEW" magazine, but the like given on the page is [62], which did not look like an edited periodical, and may not be INDEPENDENT. A wrodpress blog by an non-notable person is not useful in establishing notability. The forward to the book is not INDEPENDENT of the book. Is there a review that I am missing?

  • Thanks for the guidance, it is truly appreciated. Sorry to insist but I see this accusation of doing promotion as unwarranted conjecture and speculation. I am new, yes, but Wikipedia guidelines enjoin us to presume good faith, and I am doing my best! And what does "And the fact that he had written articles does not contribute (etc.)" mean? Who had written articles? Me?Apollinari (talk) 04:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It refers to Jarvis. Publishing a book or an article does not show that a writer is notable. Books only support the notability of the author by Wikipedia standards if multiple WP:RS publications review or engage with the book. Such material must be WP:INDEPENDENT. And if Jarvis publishes an essay in a the New Statesman or The Guardian, that does not establish notability. But if he publishes such ab article, and The Nation and The Times write articles about the article Jarvis wrote, the discussion about his writing contributes ot establishing his notability by Wikipedia standards. for a dramatic instance of this, see Michael Anton.

  • Taking a look at the sources, one by one:
  • Soources # 2 & 3 are a blog VagrantVicar are NOT WP:RS.
  • source # 4 : Alexandre Christoyannopoulos, Christian Anarchism: a political commentary on the gospel,]] (Imprint Academic, Exeter, 2011, pp 355-356, p 408ff) is a WP:RS, althogh I cannot access the relevant page online. The page, however, uses this source only to claim that Jarvis was part of a group that established a residential house in London as part of the Catholic Worker Movement. A worthy activity, but not a notable one. The fact that a newsletter of the Catholic Worker movement mentions him does not contribute to notability.
  • to understand how inadequate the sourcing here is, look at citation #5: [63]. It is an announcement for a Catholic Worker panel discussion, but Jarvis isn't one of the panelists, he's the contact person. Ditto for source # 6, 7, 8 & 9. \
  • Source # 1, #11 not INDEPENDENT; it is the preface of a book by Jarvis.
  • Source # 12 is a blog
    1. 13 is Jarvis' publisher
  • Sources # 10, 15 [64] are to a Catholic magazine called RENEW. The 2018 reference is to an article Jarvis wrote; the 2019 reference is behind the subscribers-only paywall. it is very likely to be an article Jarvis wrote, as the 2018 citation was. This would leave us with the mention in a book of the fact that he was part of a group or committed that opened a Catholic Worker residence in London as our sole SECONDARY, WP:RS source. It ≠ notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • The 2019 article is a book review by a Paul Dean, as indicated in the reference. I wonder why it appeared "very likely to be an article Jarvis wrote" when the reference is clear and we are Assuming Good Faith Apollinari (talk) 01:18, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you for identifying this citation (Paul Dean, 'Book Reviews', RENEW, No. 189, March 2019, p 17 ), the nature of which was not at all clear to me. I guessed that it was "very likely" to be an article Jarvis wrote because the first citation was to an article Jarvis wrote.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Renew - small publication backed by Hans Küng, Mary Grey, Elizabeth Stuart, Tony Flannery and others, among the most influential (and controversial) figures in the field. Leaning is progressive, feminist, LGBT theology. No question it is WP:RS. So the total is two WP:RS references? As I commented, the issue seems quantity of quality sources, not quality itself. Could use more voices, insights and sources on this but I imagine that would require some time to pass (WP:POTENTIAL). I don't think deletion would be a travesty but this is not clear outright fail of WP:AUTHOR WP:GNG either, as I'm sure many cases are. Borderline case.Vintage-vintner (talk) 07:13, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • summing up We have 2 WP:RS items for Jarvis' career. 1 review of a book he wrote. 1 book (page view not available when I searched) that discusses or mentions the fact that he was part of a group that established a Catholic Worker Movement something in London. Not clear what it was that the participated in crating. a newsletter? a residence? a London chapter of the movement? It is not clear what the claim is. One book review in a WP:RS does not pass WP:AUTHOR. E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I find the claims clear from the article, which is where the claims should presumably be found. Catholic Worker is described as an international network of branches, co-founding London Catholic Worker would mean co-founding the London branch. It's amazing what can seem clear to one person and not to another, I agree that it's terribly confusing sometimes. I don't think it can be a decisive argument that an editor cannot access one of the WP:RS book references and therefore discards it. It is not a criterion of WP:RS that it be free online access, how would that work? But I get it, the more you contribute the more rules you get to invent.Vintage-vintner (talk) 11:47, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- That is much more a discussion of verifiability of sources, not of notability. He has clearly undertaken research on dissident Catholics. I note that he is now in his mid-40s, and has recently published three books, all with the same publisher. The article says nothing of what he has done before. I suspect that his doctorate is a recent one and the three books are a spin-off from his thesis. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:48, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • His books may have impact going someday, in the form of scholarly discussion, citation - but they don't have it yet. I have searched - I presume some of the editors arguing keep have also searched - and I just can't find sources. Plus the fact that User:Vintage-vintner is a WP:SPA account created the day after this discussion began, and has edited only on a narrow range of closely connected topics edited by the page creator, User:Apollinari. (The arrival of this 2nd editor, so similar to page creator, makes me suspect WP:PROMO & WP:COI.) The only other editror arguing to keep this newly created page, User:Epiphyllumlover, argues that Catholic-related sources are WP:RS. I do not dispute that . I only argue that we need more than a book review in a single, very minor publication and a book that names subject as one of a group of founders of the London branch of an organization. E.M.Gregory (talk) 02:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Something to keep in mind is that this is a niche topic area, additionally Wikipedia articles on Independent Catholicism are currently often challenged by lack of notable sources/authors. I understand deleting a fringe non-notable church, but in general leaving the author/scholar articles undefeated will help people find reliable sources in the future. BTW, I have not searched for sources for him, at least not yet.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment - If "Five items about IAOP were covered during the first half of 2019 by The New York Times" is correct, does that mean NYTimes is no longer WP:RS, and is just a press release publisher?

  • Author feedback - Per WP:NCORP - notable? A Congresswoman cited them, albeit negatively, as being on the side of the bad guys. Computerworld had an article, 1/3 of which is about them, the rest is about Outsourcing training and certification, as it related to computer people. A University of Oxford/Oxford University study, posted on the National Center for Biotechnology Information's website, wants them to "update its ethical standards to be more in line with the worker protections needed in a digital economy." The awards and hall of fame part, by itself, may not be A-1/top-of-the-line notability, but when a different Member of Congress is pounding away about "a malicious attack meant to break the backs of organized labor in Ohio" that has a certain amount of notability too.

    The article even has a caveat from 2009 IAOP Hall of Fame inductee Peter Drucker regarding outsourcing and "large numbers of people" that begins "there is a price..." Pi314m (talk) 20:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per both Nom and Drmies. It's also significantly promo. Either press releases, or in a couple of non-promo cases, non-secondary/independent. I don't think it would meet GNG but it definitely doesn't meet NCORP. Nosebagbear (talk) 09:58, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Analysis of the sources by multiple editors lead to a consensus that, despite a superficially large number of sources, there is not enough actual, in-depth independent coverage to demonstrate notability by Wikipedia's standards. A reliable article cannot be produced from promotional material, and the vast majority of the offered sources are nothing more than that; a consensus of all editors in this discussion other than the article creator and primary contributor supports its deletion. ~ mazca talk 15:16, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion for non notable rapper. No good charting. No gold. No national rotation. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Looking closely at some of the sources used.

21. Reviewindie. Who? "We want to give Indie artists a new promotion vehicle that will get fans talking." [67]. So not an independent reliable source. The article itself reads like pure PR. "In addition to her vocal gifts, the song showcases her exceptional lyrical phrasing, stylistic uniqueness and a truly catchy melody and rhythmic undertones." [68], Posted April 18, 2016 by Peter Burns. Same article also appears at Soundlooks, BY JEENA JOHNSON ON APRIL 17, 2016. Even has the same formatting error at the start. Also appears at Tunedloud, by Staff April 20, 2016.

22. Jamsphere. The article itself reads like pure PR. "I doubt anybody else raps like this in Australia and if anybody else ever will." [69] , Posted By: Rick Jamm Posted date: December 30, 2015. Same article also appears at Soundlooks, BY JEENA JOHNSON ON DECEMBER 31, 2015 and Reviewindie, Posted December 31, 2015 by Peter Burns. Same problems as above, PR, not independent coverage.

23. Soundlooks. The article itself reads like pure PR. "His lyricism, flow, wordplay and meter is on point. At the same time, he is a master of delivery, groaning his braggadocio tropes in a charismatic and powerfully layered rasp with a practiced blend of bravado, world-weariness and posturing idiosyncrasies." [70], BY JEENA JOHNSON ON DECEMBER 10, 2016. Same article also appears at Jamsphere, Posted By: Rick JammPosted date: December 10, 2016 and Reviewindie, Posted December 10, 2016 by Peter Burns and Tunedloud, by Staff December 10, 2016. Pattern continues. Same problems as above, PR, not independent coverage.

18. Tunedloud. The article itself reads like pure PR. "Arguably the face of Australian Hip Hop’s present indie momentum, B-Nasty’s command of musical time is apparent; he can flow over anything. Depending on the mood, he can almost always adapt to the music, even if the final product isn’t the most remarkable. Just capturing the vibe is sufficient for him to kill it." [71], by Staff June 9, 2016. Same article also appears at Jamsphere Posted By: Rick JammPosted date: June 09, 2016 and Soundlooks BY JEENA JOHNSON ON JUNE 9, 2016 and Reviewindie Posted June 10, 2016 by Peter Burns. Pattern continues. Same problems as above, PR, not independent coverage.

24. Amnplify. by the Australian Musician Network. they say they are "one of Australia’s leading music content websites that provides promotional services to musicians, bands, events, and music festivals around the country and artists worldwide.". They offer multiple services, such as Albumn reviews for $100. [72]. So this is a paid for review, not independent coverage.

Other coverage is the artist talking about himself, press releases, listings, primary, blog and shops. Sources that don't back up claims made. There is a lack of anything that is good for GNG or NMUSIC. Pure PR backed by PR. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:46, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, out of the 24 references that you chose to raise this debate you have missed the notable press about this artist The Music, X-Press Magazine and scenestr all three are recognised national magazines within Australia. Also on a seperate note those other citations where used to be able to show the artists singles and album that he released. Obvious bias but i'm for a strong keep. The artist has also worked with multple international and national acts, and also is Wu-Tang clan affiliate. if it is determined to delete, I would like it go back to a draft/stub. as this article was already "reviewed" from a draft state and was then made a start article. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." Passportgang (talk) 04:50, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't miss all of them. The Music does many things. One of those things is to publish press releases as they have done here. You can also find the same article here. And it's not exactly significant coverage. Xpress (not national) is just B-Nasty talking about himself, not independent coverage. So that leaves one local street press article and they are largely PR services for local scenes containing a lot of indiscriminate coverage. Not enough. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:33, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have to disagree with you, in my option The Music is independent and a reliable source. it seems to me that oztix just mirrors the site for news. and now that we are talking about oztix? is that not notable? Let's be honest that is notable in its own right?! Passportgang (talk) 16:17, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment/Stub This article was reviewed already from a draft state, i'm more then happy to come to a "resolution" of a stub article, but I do believe the artist to be notable. " multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." also "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city" Passportgang (talk) 07:09, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
He Has NOT become one of the most prominent representatives ... And that false claim is not supported. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:00, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete nothing on Soundcloud or Spotify. Fails WP:BAND and WP:NMUSIC and WP:BIO and WP:ANYBIO. Both the category and discography needs to go a well. Completely non notable. scope_creepTalk 10:31, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Debate I don't want to be rude but did you even google the artist? There is a knowledge box on google that links all of the streaming link, such as YouTube, Spotify, Google Music, Deezer, Soundcloud and a Verified Facebook account. And as I've stated it does not fail WP:NMUSIC in my opinion, maybe yours. but since you didn't even google the artist, I think the administrator that reads this should Nil your vote. on a seperate note on the original post "No national rotation" The artists latest single was also distributed through Amrap's Airlt, so in my opinion that would classify as national rotation. Passportgang (talk) 13:30, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Passportgang:, there is some social media links, streaming links, but insufficient to establish WP:NMUSIC. There needs to be sustained coverage to satisfy WP:SIGCOV, a significant number of plays on music sites like Spotify. 250k listeners is a typical figure for signed bands. For social media 250k fans a typical number that seems to be the standard on Wikipedia. The subject satisfies none of that. He is completely non-notable. So the disco, the cats and the article has to go. I know it is difficult when your article gets deleted. My first article was deleted. I know how it feels. scope_creepTalk 20:39, 20 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: "there is some social media links, streaming links" That is wrong, if you see the references that are on the article that might help. now if regards to the 250k listeners/fans. we are talking about an Australian artist here not an American. I would make a point to see the other australian artists within the category of hip hop / rappers. as i've stated before I am happy for the article to become a STUB removing the disc and the cat but I believe it still hits notability with WP:SIGCOV, especially since the artist has worked with prominent artists within hip hip, and has the press/articles to back it up! Yes, I will admit its a sting that my debut article is up for deletion, however I believe my debate is firm especially after the points I have made further up. Passportgang (talk) 06:14, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Passportgang: Ok. Post three good references here per WP:THREE and let the good folks of Wikipedia have a look. Working with other prominent music artist has no meaning. The person must have stand-alone notability. scope_creepTalk 09:48, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Scope creep: No problem, I appreciate you engaging with me! The Music National Magazine also has a Wikipedia Article [73], National Magazine [74], National Magazine [75]. These are the best articles on the artist. What will be great about this discussion is to find out for "Australian" artists what is classified as notable?! Because if we look at the category of Australian rappers these magazines have been used as references. And yes your latter point I do agree with, and I understand. Passportgang (talk) 14:19, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately not anywhere enough for a BLP article that must satisfy WP:ANYBIO. One is name drop and other one is a mention of a mix tape. Non-notable. scope_creepTalk 14:27, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
And one is an album review? I guess the question is what will satisfy WP:ANYBIO for an Australian artist, and what are acceptable? Just ARIA articles? WAM Articles? I need to know this information before even trying to create another article. Passportgang (talk) 15:02, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As pointed out above that album review is paid for, not an independent source. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:58, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Duffbeerforme:I have gone through archive.org since I do believe Amnplify did not provide those services back when the review was published, tbh that's why I used it for the article, I have provided the link here. [76]. It seems to be a recent addition, possibly to raise funds. Passportgang (talk) 17:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I've gone through all the cited references and unfortunately I can't find anything that sufficiently addresses any of the criteria under WP:NMUSICIAN. The majority of the references provided are either from questionable sources (such as Setlist.fm, iTunes, Musicbrainz, Discogs etc) or primary sources (such as Doughboyproductions) or reproductions of press releases (such as Unearthed, RTRFM). Even the Triple J unearthed chart doesn't indicate that he received any airplay on Triple J or Triple J unearthed. I think that it may be best moved to draft and when more reliable sources can be found then be re-assessed. Dan arndt (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dan arndt: Please refer to the above, I do believe the article is stub worthy, however, more then happy to concede for the article to go back to a draft. I would like your opinion on the matter. Passportgang (talk) 17:12, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree with it going back to draft. There is insufficient sources to support such a move. The articles subject started his career in 2007 and still not notable, 12 years later, so putting it to draft will just waste more time for other editors. @Passportgang: If you need a hand to determine what constitutes article for a musician, I can give you a hand. scope_creepTalk 18:22, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree about it not going back to draft. Years ago when I first started editing I created an article on a little known rapper from Perth and had to argue and fight with editors, who had much more experience than I did, to have the article retained. That article was Drapht and I'm glad that I stuck to my guns. It took Drapht eight years before he received national recognition. Now I'm not saying that B-Nasty will receive the same level of notability as Drapht. However in this case allowing the article to revert back to a draft is not going to hurt anyone and in the fullness of time Passportgang may be able to demonstrate B-Nasty is notable (or possibly not). Dan arndt (talk) 05:44, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Dan arndt: Oh wow, that is actually really dope! I might actually be able to pick your brain about a few things! Yeah, Drapht did start off quite small but then blew up nationally! Dare I say Internationally! I remember articles of Drapht in TheMusic Amplify & X-Press Magazine. I guess what I'm really trying to say, what is notable press for an Australian hip hop artist?! I mean he has worked with Wu-Tang and also a few other notable artists. I know that it does not transfer however in the scope of Australian artists how do we confirm?! Is it only Aria charted artists? but I appreciate the Draft vote. Passportgang (talk) 14:08, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not about the stadium. Rallies held, okay, but why stadium is important? Störm (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would have thought that the fact that the now Prime Minister of Pakistan held large political rallies at the stadium might make one stop for a moment and consider whether their denial of the stadium's notability might be just a little bit anglocentric. Would a large cricket stadium in any city in the Western world really not meet the GNG? Of course not. Why would the answer in Pakistan be any different. And, of course, recourse to Urdu sources, which should have been done before nominating for deletion, confirms this answer and confirms that deleting this article would be patently absurd. For example, this article is entirely about the stadium and its dilapidated condition. Just run it through google translate and see. --Mkativerata (talk) 08:29, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep A stadium need not host national events to be notable, it just must pass WP:GNG/WP:NBUILD. There are a number of articles in English about rallies which have been held in the stadium without being about the stadium specifically, and I can't do a local language search, but I imagine there would have to be local sources per WP:NEXIST, especially because the government specifically updated the stadium. Also, since it's foreign, the stadium appears as Jafri Stadium, Zamir Jafri Stadium, Syed Zamir Jaffri Stadium, et cetera. SportingFlyer T·C 21:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Explain, how it meets WP:GNG? Don't use loose claims that it would meet if we got local sources. You have to bring them here to support your claims. Störm (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It has a number of passing mentions in English without any specific "ground construction in Jherum," and from the photos the stadium was clearly sponsored either by the cricket board or by the local government. From the English sources alone you can patch together a decent stub. I can't search in Punjabi or Urdu as I don't know either of these languages, all I have is what's online in English, but given the stadium is used for tournaments by the Pakistani cricket board I would assume there's online and offline sources in both of these languages.

  • If my reading of WP:CRIN is correct then I would be inclined to head towards very strong keep. This is based on:

Re a venue (aka ground), WP:CRIC has agreed that its regular usage by a notable club ensures its own notability per se. Beyond a purely cricketing outlook, a venue is a recognised named site with a fixed geographic location and established community associations of a permanent nature which themselves ensure notability

the second sentence of which suggests to me that any ground used by any community group whatsoever is considered notable by WP:CRIN standards. I find this odd, bizarre and so on, but I don't see how it means anything different to that.
I don't particularly agree that this reading is desirable or workable to works in any way to determine what is or isn't notable - it seems bizarre that my local cricket club's ground is, by definition, notable when there are no independent sources on it.
I've just suggested on two other AfD that WP:CRIN needs a total rewrite in some areas at least. This does nothing to suggest otherwise to me. Blue Square Thing (talk) 15:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Blue Square Thing: I'd argue WP:CRIN has nothing to do with buildings (see WP:NBUILD, but the test is also "regular usage" by a "notable club" as opposed to "any community group whatsoever," so I'm not too fussed. SportingFlyer T·C 16:32, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: - I was looking at the second sentence from he quote which seems to suggest notability per se. Of course, I think that's silly, but there you are. I checked on WP:FOOTY but couldn't find a notability criteria from there and that's usually my go-to place for sensible sports notability criteria. I'll try baseball and hockey as well. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:37, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Blue Square Thing: Since we're a gazetteer, geographies tend to have a lesser notability requirement than anything else (ie, does it exist), but buildings still need to pass WP:GNG. I think it's overplaying the first part and downplaying the latter. SportingFlyer T·C 16:41, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SportingFlyer: I'm a big fan of using GNG as the benchmark myself. In that case this article is clearly much less likely to be kept - it does appear to have been used in some political rallies but I can't find anything suitably in depth about it as a place: but then I don't have access to sources in the local language(s) which might have those details. It's that second sentence in CRIN that needs to be dealt with then, isn't it? It strikes me as far too all-encompassing. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:46, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I'm not too fussed about the CRIN since if you read it narrowly it just implies ovals used by notable teams should also be notable, which is likely true. Also, for the purposes of this AfD this ground appears to be covered locally, as was my guess. See [81]. Can't make heads or tails of the Google translate.

Here is one that discusses the stadium in the context of the 2014 political rally, talking about the stadium's capacity. Here is a December 2017 article that follows on from the July 2017 article I linked above and which again talks about the dilapidated condition of the stadium. At any rate, this is the google search page that comes up when you type in the name of the stadium in Urdu script. I get the sense that the nominator didn't do this. It is, of course, the nominator's onus to do this work, and not the onus of the keep !voter. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Mkativerata: Thank you for doing the legwork to search in Urdu. I know that's something I wouldn't be able to do very easily and I appreciate your work to do that. I'm not sure that it's very productive to criticise anyone for not doing so, but I really do appreciate your work here.
As you clearly know what you're talking about, I don't suppose you could add them in to the article could you? It could use plenty of work and I haven't a single word of Urdu myself. If you can get the basics right then I'm sure other people can do any tweaking. Much appreciated - I hope I'm not being presumptuous by asking you to help us out here. Blue Square Thing (talk) 16:11, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't speak a word of Urdu either. It's just that (a) it appeared plainly obvious to me that a large provincial stadium would have a fair bit written about it in the local language, and (b) it's also obvious that because our page on the stadium links to a sister page on Urdu wikipedia: [82], you can use the title of that page to search for sources and then run a rough google translate to confirm the gist of what they say. That's more than sufficient to confirm that this stadium meets the GNG and it's something the nominator should have done. Moreover, now that it has been done, it should be causing the nominator to withdraw the AfD. I think it is productive to criticise a nominator when they have wilfully put forward someone else's work for deletion on the basis of a grossly deficient WP:BEFORE effort. The reason that it is productive to do so is that we need to make sure it does not happen again. --Mkativerata (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, per nom. Some sources reliable but snippets do not establish notability. WP:SIGCOV lists "significant coverage (which) addresses the topic directly and in detail," as a requirement. Ifnord (talk) 00:21, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep – I agree with all above points, but the notability may change given their recent activities (e.g. competing on Bring the Funny) that may lead to more significant coverage. I think the article, if kept, definitely requires cleanup, which can be added to the task list of Wikipedia's cleanup task force. However, should the article be deleted and more significant coverage emerges in the future, the article could be restored then. Rosalina2427 (talk to me) 03:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Your comment that "the notability may change given their recent activities" indicates that you are currently of the opinion that it is not notability but that you hope they will become notable in the future. HighKing++ 15:03, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In summary, I am unable to locate a single source that meets the criteria for establishing the notability of the company. Sure, some of their sketches are very popular and perhaps there's a really good argument for an article on the Series as opposed to the Company, but company fails GNG and WP:NCORP. I would ask any of the Keep !voters above to provide links below this comment (and stating reasons) to any references that they believe meet the criteria for notability of the company so that we can examine them and I'm very happy to change my mind if any can be found.

An excellent review of the sources, and one that should be taken very seriously by the closing admin! --Slashme (talk) 08:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@HighKing: thank you for taking the time to write what I should have explained myself. This was exactly what I meant when I said it is difficult to know if we should be considering this as a WP:NCORP discussion. --Dom from Paris (talk) 14:23, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The applicable policy is more likely the policy that covers actors, artists and other entertainers WP:creative and or WP:ENT is applicable: and this troupe: Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. In any event reasonable people can disagree. The HighKing votes to delete at AfDs 89.2% of the time. WP:NCORP: Simply stated, an organization is a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities, such as charitable organizations, political parties, hospitals, institutions, interest groups, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, for-profit educational institutions or organizations, etc. NCORP is the wrong policy for entertainers IMO. Per NCORP: If another subject-specific notability guideline applies to a group, it may be notable by passing either this or the more specific guideline. For example bands are covered by WP:MUSIC.Lightburst (talk) 14:36, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You should not be using High King's afd stats as a means of discounting his !vote as per WP:ADHOM but seeing as you insist please note that they are "Without considering "No Consensus" results, 94.4% of AfD's were matches and 5.6% of AfD's were not." Which shows that they master the criteria especially when you consider they have !voted in 1883 discussions and left 14 comments without voting. You might want to compare your stats to his, you have participated in 350 discussions of which 278 there was no discernable !vote so he has voted in more than 26 times more discussions and has a 94% record...I shan't give your voting stats because it is a pointless exercise as I think I have just proved. What is important is the quality of the !votes and please remember the advice for participating "Always try to make clear, solid arguments in deletion discussions, Avoid short one-liners or simple links (including to this page)" Simply stating that an article passes the criteria does not help. And whilst we're at the WP:ADHOM bit it states "As well, be very careful about flinging around accusations of a nominator's or commenter's perceived failure to follow WP:BEFORE. Not everybody has access to the same research tools, so the fact that you were able to access a database that provided more coverage than somebody else found in other databases is not, in and of itself, proof that the other editor was negligent in their duties. If you can salvage the article, then just salvage it and don't attack other editors for not finding what you found." And I would also point out that you have added no sources here or on the page. --Dom from Paris (talk) 15:38, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a changed user name, so I voted in many more under my previous name. But lets keep it to the AfD. I added two sources a while ago, and reverted some IP potential vandalism.One, Two.
Couldn't agree more, let's avoid the ad hom. I just looked at the 2 sources you added and one is a passing mention in a very short piece in a student publication with no byline and the other is a credit in an affiliated source. I do not think they help to meet the NCORP criteria. If we consider that this is not a production company but a youtube channel then we should use WP:WEBCRIT and I believe that the sources do not show it meets the criteria. There are too many WP:INTERVIEWS and affiliated sources to meet the 1st criteria and they have not won an award yet so fail the 2nd criteria. So still NN for me. --Dom from Paris (talk) 16:19, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reasonable editors can disagree. I added two sources to contribute to the article. Note: Actors and artists are known by their work, and by their audience and their reception. Just because there is not RS to show the artists in rehab, or getting arrested, it makes their work no less notable. The troupe passes WP:ENT and that seems clear enough. Also to your points about the web, and Youtube, they seem to have gone beyond Youtube: now on Network television - adding to their notability. I will bow out now to avoid WP:BLUDGEON Lightburst (talk) 16:50, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actors and artists are individuals. And while a band or a singer is covered by WP:MUSIC, a record producer or publisher is not - they're covered by WP:NCORP. Also, you may describe these people as a "troupe" but in reality, that only recognises the artists in front of the camera. What about Stephen Walter, the CEO? I don't think troupes even have a CEO, or bands? Clearly this belongs under WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 18:07, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
By your estimation those with management must pass NCORP criteria. Bands, actors, artists all have management, agents, roadies, staff, executive assistants, drivers, camera people, web site developers, social media personell etc. Even if what you say is true that this is an NCORP situation, we can determine notability based on criteria set out on the NCORP guidelines. The actual policy states: If another subject-specific notability guideline applies to a group, it may be notable by passing either this or the more specific guideline." It is a stretch to say they we are only allowed to use NCORP: but it is not a stretch to say they are entertainers. In fact it is logical. Lightburst (talk) 19:07, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I find myself in agreement with HighKing and Dom from Paris; a majority *several* of the references (of those that mention JK!) refer to it as a company, venture or business, and even the first sentence of the lead paragraph within the entry describes it this way. So it would seem to me that NCORP is the more specific criteria, and as such, it is the criteria we must apply. Interestingly, I did find notability criteria proposed for comedy-related subjects, alas it was abandoned in 2007 due to lack of support. Pegnawl (talk) 20:40, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Pegnawl The reference for that sentence in this article, calls them a "troupe". Some WP editor wrote that language "company" in the opening sentence. In any event we wouldn't make the rock group Metalica meet WP:NCORP - we would use the :subject specific notability guideline. WP:MUSIC. We wouldn't judge Penn and Teller by WP:NCORP we would likely use WP:ENT. Even large groups of athletes or sports teams like the Green Bay Packers would be judged by the subject specific WP:NTEAM ....even though the Packers have a corporate structure and a CEO, a President, shareholders, etc. So it is NCORP or "subject specific" Lightburst (talk) 21:31, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, but JK! isn't a musical act, nor a BLP about an entertainer or entertainers, nor a sports team. Because there is no comedy-group specific subject guidance, that leads me to believe that we stick with NCORP, the most specific category that can be used at present.
That said, I'm going to walk back my comment that a majority of refs call it a company; it's more of a mixed bag than that. Because I've now done the legwork, I'll leave this here in case it helps others come to a determination:
Given the above, and the content they purport to serve across various channels, I'm leaning towards media company/network and therefore still NCORP (but not strongly enough to cast a !vote quite yet). Pegnawl (talk) 23:32, 29 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good points both. My 2c = unless there are guidelines for specific topics (like bands, sports teams, etc) which are special types of organizations, the default is WP:NCORP. It isn't a perfect system - there has been a lot of debate here in relation to a requirement for specific guidelines for specialist record publishers or specialist book publishers. I believe there is also a case to be made for entertainers on social media or streaming channels although it doesn't get around the problem of deciding the criteria for notability. The best we have right now is to find (at least) two references from reliable independent publishers that contains Independent Content which is in-depth. HighKing++ 14:33, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The !vote here currently is 5 6 Keeps and 53 Deletes. This is not even close to a "Delete" WP:consensus. I recognize it isn't just 'voting" but the voices of those who visit this page and express their opinions means something, unless it is just supposed to be the closer's whim. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:25, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There's a reason why it isn't a simple !vote count and why the closer reads the discussion. It is to place appropriate weight on the arguments and especially with an eye on those arguments that are grounded in our policies and guidelines as opposed to more simplistic "agree with op" type !votes. For example, we have two Keep !votes from anon IPv6 addresses which fail to identify any reasons which are based/grounded in our policies and guidelines. We have another "Weak Keep" !voter who says that they agree with all of the above (reasons to delete) but basically says "lets give this a chance" because "notability may change" - again, no grounding whatsoever in any of our policies/guidelines. Your own !vote provides as a reason an agreement with one of the anon IPv6 !votes based on have lots of YouTube views - which also isn't grounded in any of our policies/guidelines (and in fact is specifically stated as *not* being a reason for Keep) as well as providing a google search list of mentions (again, specifically stated as not a reason to Keep in the guidelines). The only real engagement was from Lightburst who I believe understands what is required and has providing some reasoning for why WP:NCORP may/should not be the guidelines applicable to this topic but appears to accept that NCORP is the applicable guidelines and appears to be unable to provide any sources that meet the criteria for notability.
So by a count of arguments based on policy/guidelines, I'd say there's a clear consensus to delete as they're the only !votes that have provided any arguments based on our actual policies and guidelines rather than pulling reasons our of thin air which amount to no more than "but I like it" or "that's my opinion". HighKing++ 20:31, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The “clear consensus” for deletion is clearly biased against this group for some reason. My reason is not based on thin air per prior argument but is rather based on my actual experience as a wiki user (with very limited editing experience) who found this site when looking up JK Studios on Wikipedia; I was surprised to see the potential deletion note which has led me to this page. I had heard of this group via the NBC show, and my kids who know them from YouTube. Deleting this page would be a disservice to the credibility and reliability of this site. Please keep. Thank you.

  • Comment: There is definitely WP:NOCONSENSUS. The arguments are logical on both sides - I think more logical in my interpretation. High King made an argument for calling this comedy group a corporation, and I made an argument to say they are entertainers WP:ENT. I think if we polled the ivoters 6 would agree with me and the WP:ENT rationale and 3 or 4 would agree with the High King and the WP:NCORP rational. That is a clear WP:NOCONSENSUS and if anything, leaning Keep. I went to the relister's page to question the relisting comments, and I got a very condescending response.

  • Administrative comment – I am sorry if my response sounded condescending. I was pointing out to your apparent lack of understanding of our reliable sources/verifiability guideline/policy and misunderstanding of what consensus means. I listed out exactly why none of the keeps were worth consideration. While you may continue believing that consensus is equivalent to voting, it is actually not. If you find even two reliable, independent non-primary sources that have covered the subject significantly (please don't include interviews or press releases; read WP:RS), there's no number of delete !voters who would be able to get the article deleted....

Just to clear up your misunderstanding. An uninvolved admin is one that has not edited the article or !voted in the discussion. Lourdes did neither. They simply analysed the discussion and the different !votes and explained their analysis and despite the result they gave the discussion a bit more time. If anyone should complain it is certainly not the keep !voters. You tried to get them involved by complaining on their talk page but this doesn't make them involved. Just because someone doesn't agree with your arguments that you consider excellent (we shall agree to disagree on that point) doesn't make them involved either. From what I can gather an "uninvolved admin" is one that agrees with you? It just doesn't work like that.Dom from Paris (talk) 06:21, 5 August 2019 (UTC) p.s.

I disagree with the summary provided by Lightburst above. I agree that there was an attempt to examine this topic under a different set of guidelines than WP:NCORP but a suitable set of guidelines could not be found. I agree WP:ENT is applicable for a comedy troupe but I disagree that "JK! Studios" is a comedy troupe - it is a media production company. It is incorporated and has a CEO and President named Stephen Walter. One of the founders (who is not one of the comedians), Alex Madsen, describes it as a "media company".
I also don't see any point in conducting a poll on this page - either we have guidelines that we apply consistently or the alternative is that every topic will have a poll that becomes nothing more than a popularity contest.
I agree with the summary provided by Lourdes on their Talk page and above but I feel I have to voice my opinion on some of the commentary on this page. I am dismayed at the lack of understanding demonstrated by editors on this page on how this community decides which guideline(s) to apply, which policies/guidelines are applicable for particular topics, how to respond at AfD pages, how a closing admin weighs up the various points of view, etc. But I am most dismayed at the ad hominen commentary. Nobody here that has !voted to Delete has any particular axe to grind with this topic and yet various Keep !voters have taken potshots at various editors who have voiced an opposing view. Please stop.
The point made in relation WP:RS should be read in conjunction with the guidelines on which sources/references meet the criteria for establishing notability (e.g. WP:ORGIND). In summary, there's a difference between how we treat RS depending on the context of use. While RS (even RS that includes interviews/quotations or based on press releases) can be used to support an assertion or facts within an article, these RS may not be used to establish notability. Editors here who participate regularly at AfD and who are familiar with the various applicable policies/guidelines will have seen this point raised many times previously. HighKing++ 13:33, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. CEO of company worth 5 billion, son of a billionare. The notability question here isn't the merits of the subject, but coverage of the subject. Considering we have a full length profile by Bloomberg - [87] (covering the business, finance, wealth side) as well as coverage on topics such as the subject's marriage - [88][89] - we have WP:SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 09:44, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Being the son of a notable person is one of the provisions excluded by WP:NOTIHERITED as implying notability. Having an article in deWP does not necessarily imply having one in enWP, though, as I said, what meets their standards ususall meets ours also. Youngest CEO does not imply notability. CEO of a large company oftern does, if there are sources supporting the article, but there are not:
Sources--ref 1 is his own website profile and not a RS--ref 2 is a bloomberg profile, which is always subject-provided information and therefore not independent --Ref 3 is about his marriage, which is not coverage of anything distinctive about hte person ref 4 is from his company and therefore not independent --ref 5 is more about his company than it is about him. So the only even possible independent RSs are the marriage and the Bloomberg news article. I do not think that's enough. DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The sourcing in enwiki is not good. The Bloomberg profile is significant([90]), the marriage coverage is on top of that (and shows coverage of a different aspect). dewiki is usually more strict than us. And there is more profile coverage in German - [91], [92], [93]. And there quite a bit of more coverage with him (which of course requires sifting through - some of it is routine company reports). CEOs (and in this case - with a future ownership stake) of 5 billion dollar companies tend to be notable - WP:NBUSINESSPEOPLE (Fielmann is listed in the MDAX index - the 60 companies beneath the 30 top companies in DAX (so - companies 31-90) - which in converting to the UK (which has an entry in NBUSINESSPEOPLE) is approx. the same tier as a FTSE 100 Index (100 companies)).

  • Keep significant coverage of Mehta in the mainstream press shows he is notable. These articles are about him as founder, not about the company. Interviews are perfectly good evidence of notability, quoting from Wikipedia:Interviews#Notability: "An independent interviewer represents the "world at large" giving attention to the subject, and as such, interviews as a whole contribute to the basic concept of notability". There is nothing in Wikipedia:Notability (people) to suggest that interviews are not evidence of notability. Railfan23 (talk) 22:49, 18 July 2019 (UTC
WP:Interviews is an essay not a policy or guideline. WP:GNG, which is a guideline, suggests that notability should be established by secondary sources "Sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." Interviews, as established at WP:PRIMARY are not secondary sources. What are the WP:THREE that establish notability in your mind? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:27, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If you're going dismiss WP:Interviews because it is an essay, then don't make WP:THREE a requirement - it is also an essay. The LATimes one is secondary because it is reporting on a discussion with Mehta, not merely reproducing his words. This CNBC article is about Mehta, not an interview with him.

"Natural-language programming" is not in the Oxford English Dictionary or other dictionaries. It is difficult to establish notability because "natural language" and programming are high frequency combinations. Google ngram shows that "Natural language programming" has very low frequency [94].

  • Speedy keep. Not being in a dictionary (DICTDEF anyone?) or nominator finding it difficult to search for the them is not an indication of a lack of in-depth, secondary, reliable sources. Besides the sources in the article, which probably establish notability in and of themselves, a cursory search comes up with the following well cited journal articles: Miller, Lance A. "Natural language programming: Styles, strategies, and contrasts." IBM Systems Journal 20.2 (1981): 184-215., Biermann, Alan W., Bruce W. Ballard, and Anne H. Sigmon. "An experimental study of natural language programming." International journal of man-machine studies 18.1 (1983): 71-87., Mihalcea, Rada, Hugo Liu, and Henry Lieberman. "NLP (natural language processing) for NLP (natural language programming)." International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2006., Dijkstra, Edsger W. "On the foolishness of" natural language programming"." Program construction. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 1979. 51-53.....

The result was redirect to Batman. Seems like a good consensus here that the nickname itself isn't notable enough for an article, none of the keeps has presented a counterargument except for Erik but it doesn't seem like anyone else was convinced. The principal objection to merge is that Batman itself is already too large, thus the proposals here to either split or trim that article or to create a Nicknames of Batman page need to be given serious consideration during the merge process but it does not really address the concerns about this topic. I'll thus go for a redirect so that the page size issue can be addressed concomitantly with the merge one as part of a talk page discussion.

  • Keep because Batman is already too long with so many details about the fictional character. It is over 143 KB, and WP:SIZESPLIT says to divide up content if the article is over 100 KB. Considering the scale of the character, it should be completely appropriate to have a variety of sub-articles related to different aspects of him. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 12:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. My first inclination was to vote for a merge to Batman, per Zxcvbnm, though I will say I am impressed how the content of this article is focused not on the Batman character, but on the nickname itself – its origins, meanings, applications to the character, explanations/analyses, etc. It did get me wondering, though, whether Wikipedia might be better served not by an article on this one nickname, but by a Nicknames of Batman article that discusses all of his nicknames in this fashion. It could focus on the major ones (Dark Knight, The World's Greatest Detective, Caped Crusader), antiquated ones no longer in regular use (Masked Manhunter, Dark Avenger), and what specific characters call him ("B-Man" from Harley Quinn; various names from Joker like "Bats," "Batsy," "Dork Knight"; etc.). Perhaps there could even be a section about the differences in use between "Batman" vs "The Batman", which I know is something that's been debated and discussed a lot. I guess you could even discuss the term "Dynamic Duo" about Batman and Robin in such an article. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but it's just a thought... — Hunter Kahn 14:00, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    I support a broader nicknames sub-article idea. I don't support bloating Batman more than it is already bloated at this time. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Batman, per stated concerns about the nickname not being independently notable from the character. The concerns about the length of the target article isn't really an issue when you consider that the bulk of this article's length consists of copious amounts of direct quotes copied straight from the sources, which really would not need to be transcribed over. I do, however, like Hunter Kahn's idea about a "Nicknames of Batman" article, and I would have no problem at all with this article's content being merged into an article like that if one is ever created in the future. Rorshacma (talk) 15:18, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:SIZESPLIT, the article Batman is already too big for any more content at 143 KB. It is at 100 KB that we need to start splitting out content. This will only bloat the main article further where it is perfectly framed here. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Even so, that doesn't mean this article should stay just because of that. The size of the Batman article has absolutely nothing to do with whether this article is or isn't notable. The Batman article should be dealt with in other ways, possibly by paring down non-essential WP:PLOTSUM information, which would be mentioned in the comic book article anyway.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 17:42, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    This topic is notable. There is significant coverage about the nickname, and I literally just found yet another source talking about it in detail that does not exist in this article at this time. See screenshot. And the Batman article has a lot of good information already. It is false to claim that it is in any form too much of a plot summary. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:14, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into relevant areas—Batman and The Dark Knight Returns seem to be the obvious ones. Of all the content to fork from the article, I'd say this is one of the least sensical ones (and I'd argue the parent article should first be trimmed because it could stand to be.) I don't really see enough evidence of its notability independent of the parent subject. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 21:00, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Batman. I like the idea of a Nicknames of Batman, but remain skeptical that it could pass WP:GNG. If enough can be done to meet that threshold, then merge there. --Killer Moff (talk) 15:30, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I created this article because I couldn't find a complete list of languages on wikipedia. The difference between this article, and other similar articles, is this article will become a complete list of all the languages. I'm using Ethnologue as a reference of what languages we know of: https://www.ethnologue.com/browse/names, I am going to work on adding the complete list, and will add a reference to ethnologue. I hope that's ok. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CcfUk2018 (talk • contribs) 12:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe a better name for this article would be "List of languages according to Ethnologue"? CcfUk2018 (talk) 12:52, 17th July 2019 (UTC)

That's already available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Languages/List of ISO 639-3 language codes (2019) (there's a one-to-one relation between ISO 639 codes and ethnologue language entries). A glance at the links there should reveal why such long lists are difficult to maintain. – Uanfala (talk) 13:23, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah thanks for the link. At the same time, I think this list is useful as it provides a clear list of languages in their English name, in alphabetical order, and will be able to be linked for easy use to all language. It can then be further expanded to include where the languages are spoken, if they are living or extinct, and how many people speak that language. I hope that makes sense. I'll do my best to create the full list. It can also be used as a reference to quickly see how many languages there are in the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CcfUk2018 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think this is viable as a list article. There are over 7,000 languages listed in ethnologue, simply enumerating those languages, without providing any additional details, will already get you well over the recommended maximum article size. More generally, lists of this type (even if more circumscribed in scope, as in "Languages in Country X") tend to quickly deteriorate over time as they can't easily keep pace with all the changes (ISO codes created or retired, wikipedia articles renamed, merged or split...) and as they're difficult to police against well-meaning editors introducing inconsistencies. Looking after such an article will be a tremendous job and in my opinion there's not enough encyclopedic benefit to justify it. Maybe there could be a way to dynamically generate a list of all language articles? – Uanfala (talk) 20:36, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Uanfala for explaining that. I see what you mean. I wonder if it will one day be possible to have a list on wikipedia of all the languages, the number of speakers, and where it is spoken. I see now that this article can't, in its current state do all that. I would like to see this article be kept, but for the time being, it might be better to delete it. I apologise for the issue this article created. I wanted to be able to find a complete list of languages with the number of speakers, and where it is spoken, but can see that isn't viable at the moment. Thanks again for explaining this to me.

No WP:SIGCOV apparently available under the current title or the alternative spelling "Westcoaster". Unusally for a named train, there is no reference to it in Trove newspapers or more recent news archives. The mentions in offline sources I have are in passing only, such as lists of named trains - no indication of independent notability.

  • Delete, without prejudice against recreation of a redirect to the filmmaker given RebeccaGreen's improvements to his article which left room for a short plot summary. NFILM does not automatically extend instant permanent notability to every winner of every film award that exists — the AQCC has some potential to be a valid notability claim if the article were actually citing reliable sources, but it's not an instant notability freebie that would exempt a film from actually having to have any proper sources at all. Based on the creator's username I also suspect a direct conflict of interest even if I can't prove it outright. Bearcat (talk) 17:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Denys Desjardins, though in fact with no sources, there is not much to merge. I found a source which verifies that he won this award for this film, but that's all. I have reorganised the filmography section of Denys Desjardins, and added columns for others involved in creating the films and for the theme, with info for this film from this article. I suspect that some of his other films may not be notable either, but information about them can certainly be included in an article about him. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I am happy with Delete for this article - as I said above, I have incorporated most of the info into the filmmaker's article. I don't know that either the French or English title of this film would be a likely search term, so I don't think a redirect would be necessary - but regardless of that, a complete article is not needed, and as far as the history of this article is concerned, it has the same creator as the article about the filmmaker, so little information would be lost by deleting rather than merging.

The result was merge to Real estate investing. Low traffic AfD but there is no support for a 'keep' and 'merge' looks as close to a consensus as we are likely to get. Just Chilling (talk) 17:12, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure about the article's notability, so inviting debate on whether it is notable enough or not for Wikipedia. There seem to be some references on the internet about this 'method' (just googled "brrr real estate"), but not sure whether they are enough to merit an article, as many seem to be self-help-styley websites. Therefore I am inviting debate on whether it is notable enough or not.  Seagull123  Φ  22:13, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Real estate investing. The term definitely seems widely used, but most of the sources I can find are 'how-to' type websites, discussion forums, books etc. What I can't find is enough decent secondary coverage of the term/approach from an independent perspective (i.e. not from people trying to show you how to invest). Tbh it's borderline for me, I think you could just about make a decent article out of this and prop it up with some 'nearly good enough' referencing, but it's not quite there, and the merge is an obvious solution.
